Not only can I prove it, I can tell you the excuses they use to justify it. I'm pretty sure that they just realized that it was 'proven' and had to then come up with a reason.

Wow, you really bought into the Trump campaign, huh.

Check any analysis of the coverage - Trump's was overwhelmingly "oh, this guy!" whilst ignoring his racism, sexism, misogyny, etc.

You seem to be suggesting that because some white people have struggles, there must be no white privilege. Which is bollocks as you well know.

I did originally opt for the more expensive 100/40 plan, but found that even in the middle of the night with no rain or line work I couldn’t get any better than about 50mbps sync. I’d be perfectly happy to pay for it if I actually got the promised service but until then I’m on the next best plan, 25/5...

From my perspective, they’re blaming the lack of uptake on a symptom of the change they themselves implemented. If they’d left it with fibre I propose many people like myself would pay for the higher tier plan.
I hope so. Dear god their service is atrocious. First, they wanted me to fill out some 1980s style book order form to get my prescription filled.

Then, for a year, they filled my 1-per-day, 90-pill, 3-month prescription..... every..... 2.... months. Unfortunately it was nothing of any resale or entertainment value.

I called them and waited on hold and someone promised they found and fixed the issue. It was not fixed.

I harangued them on twitter. They promised to reach out to me and fix it. They did reach out to me, claimed they saw the problem with the previous 'fix', fixed it again, delayed my next shipment by X months to get me back on track, and... it wasn't fixed. The delay worked but I was still receiving 90 pills every 60 days.

Ultimately I think it sorted itself out when a prescription had no more refills allowed and had to be renewed and entered as a new prescription number.

Unit Tests Aren't Tests
Any customer reviews on iPhoneX ??? please share the link here!
I think the answer would be it heavily depends on what you are doing.
if you are creating a library that operates on a protocol, unit tests are necessary / extremly important.

if you are writing a ERP where a lot of your code NEEDS to operate WITH the database you are better of with integration tests, because mocking away the database would lead to so much bugs, especially if your database is extremly important (and not just a dumb datastore)

Edit: having any tests is always better than having none.
Mexit!
Assuming you are a developer, start writing some.

Next bug you find that needs a unit/functional test (e.g. it is caused by a simple error in transformation in one function), write the test first as a table of inputs vs outputs, find it fails, fix the function, and leave the test in. Gradually, the code base will contain unit tests which are useful, people will see they are useful, and other people might start using them too where appropriate.

You are unlikely to persuade them without actually doing what you say is beneficial and exposing others to its benefits.

The situation is annoying. Up until recently, when you wanted high performance drivers for Linux you needed an AMD or NVIDIA card with proprietary drivers. The NVIDIA driver was a bit annoying in some ways, but those issues could be worked around. The result was a stable installation with great GPU performance. Meanwhile, the AMD driver was somewhere between unusable and terrible. It updated so slowly that you had to stay on ancient versions of X to even be able to use it. For users of rolling-release distributions, that's simply unworkable, and so they bought NVIDIA.

There were also open source drivers, which worked quite well, but they weren't even close in terms of performance. (Intel has always played nicely, and their official GPU drivers are open source and work well. Their performance falls into this same category.)

Recently, however, AMD has replaced its proprietary driver with a new, open source, high performance driver. AMD is now a serious choice. Sadly the tables have turned, with NVIDIA holding back progress on Wayland by not cooperating with the community.

Where Wayland is concerned, the compositor is the Wayland implementation.
Its the JVMs C++. Because it is both OO and functional, it has too many concepts and some have a poorly thought out mental load/usefulness balance. Implicits is just the most notorious offender. For me it was a huge productivity killer, because proficiency takes a long time and the tools are poor (IDE support, compile times & build tools).

I like my languages opinionated, in as "there should be one way to do it". Python, C, Go, Clojure, maybe Rust. Designed to be a tool for their inventors set of problems, not a vehicle to implement research papers. Fast turnaround/feedback cycles.

Whatever you call it, this has nothing in common with a "static website". It's a bunch of Javascript to fetch some text or similar data. Which may be static. But fetched by a web app. So it will display just empty on devices without JS..

I've been using Nvidia cards since the Geforce 4, and I've never had any noteworthy issues, aside from a buggy version here and there (easily fixed with a rollback to the previous version.)

However, for laptops and any other machine where graphics power is not a high priority, I just stick with basic integrated graphics, they do seem to behave better in regards to suspend and other power management.
Sounds good in theory. In practice there is one problem with having integrations tests only. The test are generally simple: they pass or they fail. A unit test tests just a small functionality, so when it fails, it's quite easy to find out the problem.
When an integration test fails, then we can spend hours debugging the whole stack of layers trying to find out the real problem.

I had this situation once. Every failing integration test ended with hours spent on writing unit tests for all the places used by the test.

Wayland does not have the "window manager" concept. The compositor (which, for the lack of a better term, well, composites windows) implements the display server protocol as well. It creates and hands off surfaces to the clients, and those clients directly render their contents there. So it's somewhat akin to a window manager + some display server parts.

(Note: I have written very little Wayland-related code, and quite some time ago, so do not put too much faith in the explanation below).

Managing device-accessible surfaces is very obviously hardware-specific, so it was abstracted behind a number of mechanisms. One of these is the GBM API, which is implemented (classically) by everyone except NVIDIA, and is the API that sway is going to use.

NVIDIA's proprietary drivers do not support GBM, and NVIDIA is pushing for its own solution called EGLStream. EGLStream does solve several problems that GBM has, but it seems to me that what makes it most attractive to NVIDIA is that it is theirs (it is an open standard but has only one serious commercial implementation, on a single vendor's devices, so at this point it might as well be closed). If you are curious, there is a wider discussion on the topic here: https://lwn.net/Articles/703749/ .

Sure they do. If you plan to move somewhere in 3 years and the property market is too expensive where you currently live it's cheaper and makes more sense to rent now and buy where you plan to move (especially since you can't afford local prices in any case).
False choice!

What if New Zealanders don't want apartment buildings?

They just want to be able to live in affordable homes?

I'll give you a more direct economic argument: when a foreigner 'buys a home' in say, Toronto - what they are benefitting from is the 'stability of the economy' - which is paid for by the local citizens. The legal system, justice system, heck - even the education system - all play a factor in 'keeping those home prices up'. So it's only fair that foreigners pay more taxes - otherwise they are externalizing those costs, just like a company dumping Co2 in the air.

Having lived in SF, Toronto, Paris and London - I'm acutely aware of how this globalism issue is working out.

I also lived in Germany were real estate prices are very stable.

We do not want 'free trade' for our domiciles - this is not a solution.

If you are not living in a home - it should be taxed - if you are not a citizen, taxes should be higher.

If's funny people are accusing Jacinda of 'Venezuela' i.e. socialism - if Donald Trump did this - they'd call him a 'Nationalist' or 'Fascist' or whatever.

There will always be 'internal problems' but the globalization of homes has to be addressed.
>As OpenCL support for e.g. machine learning libraries such as Tensorflow is progressing

I wonder if the complex OpenCL API throws off many ML developers. Also I think they tend to focus on CUDA because there is much less chance of it breaking between devices. OTOH, each vendor has their own .so for OpenCL and they usually tend to be buggy and stay a point version or two behind.

This is the explanation I tell myself when I wonder why the hell Google chose CUDA over OpenCL.

You forgot to mention that the HDB scheme in Singapore covers about 80% of the population and the private market is also heavily regulated/taxed and prohibitively expensive. Immigration barriers are high and the immigration system is purely based on the needs of Singapore and not any sort of moral obligation towards the rest of the world. (To be clear: i consider the last part to be a good thing). People who use the term "racist" when discussing immigration policies would have to apply it to Singapore as well.

I also live in Singapore, and the high density here has a severe impact on quality of life (i'm using this term in a very wide sense here). I would never use this as a model for my home country. If anything, living here made me much more aware of the benefits of low population density.

Hi there, great idea. Sort of like text stenography.

Is the message really hidden in this message? Or are you just doing the lookup your database of hidden messages based on the hash of the public message?

people ... don’t want to change how they write code. They just want tests for it

Have you considered the possibility that those people are right? That's a reasonable conclusion to make if you are seeing lots of otherwise smart people that share an opinion that disagrees with yours.

There are lots of valid reasons to change the style in which you write code. In my mind, fitting somebody's fad testing scheme is not one of them.

Here's a second opinion from a guy who also likes tests, but doesn't think it's a good idea to structure your whole codebase just to accommodate them:

Sofia will wear burqah.
> The biggest problem I see with people trying to write unit tests is that they don’t want to change how they write code. They just want tests for it. It’s like watching an OO person try their hardest to write OO code in a functional language.

The biggest problem I see with people advocating for tests and employing TDD is that they do change how they write code to accommodate tests. This leads to inclusion of lots of unnecessary abstraction and boilerplate patterns that make code less readable and more bug-prone. OO world has spawned numerous non-solutions to turn your code inside-out so that it's easier to mock things, at the expense of code quality itself.

That said, if you go for functional style in OOP, i.e. shoving as much as you can into static helper functions and most of the rest into dumb private stateless functions, you suddenly gain both a clean architecture and lots of test points to use in unit tests. So you can have testable code, but you have to chill out with the OOP thing a bit.
I'm still baffled that baggers exist. From my (German) perspective, the entire concept of employing a human just for this task is absurd.
Be careful with the non-CUDA 9 AMIs.

CUDA 8 programs will run, but terribly slowly as they JIT their GPU code without optimization for Volta. You want the CUDA 9 AMI version (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B076TGJHY1?qid=1509090...), but it currently only has MXNet and TF.

If you need other frameworks there's the NVIDIA AMI (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B076K31M1S?qid=1509090...) and Volta optimized containers for NVCaffe, Caffe2, CNTK, Digits, MXNet, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Theano, Torch, CUDA 9/CuDNN7/NCCL.

I'll tell you why. Nobody who isn't an ISIS member has ever been called an ISIS member. However the favorite tactic of American left lately has been calling anyone who they disagree with a Nazi. For example most people are probably politically to the right to the likes of Anthony Fantano or Laci Green. And yet both of them have been unironically branded Nazis, as a quick Twitter search will confirm.

So yeah, if you haven't been already, somebody's probably going to brand you a Nazi at some point and call for your banning from every social platform, no matter how "woke" you think you are. It's just a fact of life.

> This is in part because of the work by Google on the NVPTX LLVM back-end.

I'm one of the maintainers at Google of the LLVM NVPTX backend. Happy to answer questions about it.

As background, Nvidia's CUDA ("CUDA C++?") compiler, nvcc, uses a fork of LLVM as its backend. Clang can also compile CUDA code, using regular upstream LLVM as its backend. The relevant backend in LLVM was originally contributed by nvidia, but these days the team I'm on at Google is the main contributor.

I don't know much (okay, anything) about Julia except what I read in this blog post, but the dynamic specialization looks a lot like XLA, a JIT backend for TensorFlow that I work on. So that's cool; I'm happy to see this work.

Full debug information is not supported by the LLVM NVPTX back-end yet, so cuda-gdb will not work yet.

We'd love help with this. :)

Bounds-checked arrays are not supported yet, due to a bug [1] in the NVIDIA PTX compiler. [0]

We ran into what appears to be the same issue [2] about a year and a half ago. nvidia is well aware of the issue, but I don't expect a fix except by upgrading to Volta hardware.
