No. As noted elsewhere, no education is provided through 90% of these courses. They meet zero times per week and have no real instructor. They are a book keeping exercise so that PhD students are still technically students while working in the lab, not an actual tangible educational course.

This is a just a significant decrease in research funding that is, by default at least, implemented as a substantial tax increase on grad students (those bastards...?), who now pay tax on 40k/year of tuition for literally imaginary courses.

I agree the situation is awkward and stupid, but the material effect is what matters. Without a corresponding increase in science and education funding this is basically an enormous cut to science funding and undergraduate education funding. And it's one that is by default shouldered exclusively by people making 20k / year.
The difference is deterrence: Russia would have thought twice before invading a nuclear-armed neighbour.
Are there any other "Kubernetes-As-A-Service" providers other than GCP?

I think AWS has competing solutions, but I am not sure about the current state of affairs.
I guess there are far worse things one could be sitting on.
That's not but about a sixth of what the tank-heavy Red Army had at the time - a sixth which in a new war would have no hope of timely reinforcement, because of the aforementioned ocean. A nuclear deterrent was still seen as valuable, even necessary, and I think not wrongly so.
I'm one of the devs on Azure Functions.

In general, the trick is to basically never be cold. When you get assigned an instance, you keep it for a while before we put it to sleep. On the first call, you get assigned a "pre-warmed" instance that helps optimize load time. You can still help out by making sure your dependencies are lightweight.

We've still got some work to do for the JVM before we GA Java, but it's a pattern we're pretty happy with so far.
Funny you should say that because you are getting a government cheeseburger... "sixty three percent of the U.S. government food subsidies go directly or indirectly to subsidize the meat and dairy industries. Less than 1 percent goes to fruit and vegetable cultivation." (1)

I don't personally eat red meat or dairy. So people like me are basically paying for everyone else to go to McDonald's with my taxes.

Oh yeah, it did crash a lot and would get into weird states that would make it hard to recover. Oddly, commercial editing software, even late versions, also had weird corruption issues from time to time, usually when plugins are involved.
Indeed. It's the whole reason to never allow a nuclear conflict to erupt in the first place. And particularly to not get into a scenario where a weak third world type power can threaten the existence of a superpower (because it may topple the MAD premise in the after-consequences; MAD has a rarely discussed psychological requirement involving the people of a nation: acceptable parity exchange, aka great powers with a lot to lose choosing to not destroy each other; ie how does a superpower react to being destroyed by a country like NK? what's left of MAD afterward?).

TBH, Cool Edit was better. Audition is crass.
If he became president and succeeded at first he might have been widely celebrated, as comrade Chavez was. Then he would have likely won the re-election in a landslide that dwarfed Reagan's victory and implemented policies further to the left.

And then a decade in the future (might even be more than that, US is resilient) it would have blown up in everyone's faces, just as it did in Venezuela.

The general public has a short attention span, it seldom thinks of what would happen 10-15 years down the road.
technically Ardour is free as in free speech, but not as in free beer. They do not have official binary downloads for free. If I remember correcyly its more involved than ./configure && make && make install Though Ubuntu Studio has a version ready to go.
If you know javascript react is very simple. Just few life cycles to learn rest is plain javascript. Consider that in Vue, angular you need to understand their own language for simple things like looping, if logic etc. With react you can get far with state then you can look into mobx,mobxstatetree,redux.
"The man sitting across from him, a 40-something businessman with auburn hair, wearing a navy Italian suit jacket with a white shirt, worn casually, spoke in a thick American southern accent that hid the wiseness beyond his years and began with the net worth of various highly wealthy people, comparing their wealth to the time it took to obtain said wealth. Intrigued and slightly astounded, he jokingly asked the man, 'Were you just sitting on this data?' The man just laughed."

I didn't (and wouldn't necessarily) claim the same ratio.

But clearly airspeed is critically important, attitude is, a wrong heading can kill you (eg Varig 254 [0]), a transponder that's off can kill you (eg the Embraer/GOL accident [1]), wrong altitude can clearly kill you, etc.

But you've got a point, it's a pretty small indicator for a pretty crucial function. However, making everything else monochrome doesn't strike me as a realistic or preferable alternative.

I don't really understand the question.

For classification we just use the softmax over the classes. We had a long discussion about if this was close enough to probability to use and I think the conclusion was that it is.
I don't know. Databases are a hard business (see Riak, FoundationDB). Costs money to add features and fix bugs (and really hard to find qualified folks that can do that) as well as hosting costs if you offer a service. We'll see what happens with some other entrants. I would read http://www.defmacro.org/2017/01/18/why-rethinkdb-failed.html regarding DBaaS, too.
These are municipal water utilities. The EPA can't force municipalities to raise water rates. And imposing fines on already cash-strapped entities would result in political disaster if anything bad happened.

By routes I mean dynamic physically safe corridors (hard part of self-driving), not just graph walking. By following I mean a bunch of purely mechanical reactions to maintain planned coordinates in each moment. Many cars can autopark by measuring distances around (no “vision”), this is example of “following”.
I wish there was a some sort of a Open Source UI squad that would just work towards making awesome UIs for projects like Audacity, GIMP etc. There are so many low hanging fruits here like - iconography, spacing, using the right widget controls etc. that would make a lot more people want to use (and hopefully support) such software.
It would be nice to fork a class and use it in your project customized to your needs. The forks need never be re-integrated upstream, but that they are forked is documented and the possibility for reuse and generalization is at least a bit more likely.
Fully agree, I just wanted to stress both aspects. I do think the systemic and incentive based side of things is more difficult to understand, so it's good to articulate those concepts. Either way, I think it's important to keep having these conversations.
My uncle (a scholar in his own right) knew Joseph Campbell's family. They had a cattle farm (I'll decline to mention where), and mentioned their "Uncle Joe" had a room he came to stay in now and then. The family was completely unaware of the profundity of "Uncle Joe" other than that he was a professor and had written a few books.

Humble individual, it seems.
Thinking code can be "self-documenting" is one of the biggest delusions of this field.
There's nothing wrong with mutable data structures from a type soundness perspective. We know how to do it properly. But you need to get the type system right in order to include mutable data structures; often people get this wrong, and it leads to all sorts of frustration...
Thanks for the responses. I'll definitely add those materials to my list.
Somewhat related, Miss Baker [0] was one of the first two animals launched by the United States into space and recovered alive.

After her flight and some time in Florida, she lived at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama until her death. She was a "star" there, routinely receiving fan mail from kids around the country. When she died in 1984, she was buried in front of the museum. You walk right by her grave on the way in. People often leave bananas.

Didn't know much about this conflict, thank you for educating me. One other difference between those combatants and a theoretically nuclear armed Ukraine is that that war is more widely seem as an existential threat to an independent Ukraine. Kashmir political disagreement seems to rest on somewhat more limited territorial claims versus the desire of one party to post its military inside the other as well as to exert widespread political influence.
"Categorizing half of the American populace based on the views/actions of fringe nutjobs is absurd"

1) Lena Dunham has called for the extinction of white men.
2) The President of the United States then sent his teen daughter to do an internship with this "fringe nutjob".

Sorry, this crazy, hateful bigot is not "fringe", she's squarely in the mainstream of the modern Democratic Party. They need to fix that if they're planning to ever win a national election again.

I've read it. Completely agree about RethinkDB specifically, who raised VC capital on the order of $12M. A cloud hosted solution is a very tough business, with thin margins when you have dozens of employees, $15-$25k a month bay area rent, and very high overhead. The numbers don't add up and not the return investors are looking for.

Though, if you're bootstrapping with your own capital and grow it to something like $10K or $20K a month in MRR, that's a win. I'm all about bootstrapping SaaS companies and growing recurring revenue.

Or maybe it's evidence for the many-worlds-interpretation of quantum mechanics... we're in one of the few universes where we didn't blow ourselves up.
The short notice is if the work is going away. It's an independent decision from how well they'll treat people going away. My most recent fund was similar - once they decided someone should go, they preferred to pull the trigger very quickly even if the severance was generous. (There's a toll on the org for having people stick around with negative attitude)
even I had plans to make such an app, to study Nodejs on the way. Also make it such a way that anybody can host the application on their own so that the data can remain private.

For what I do (mostly, stereo recordings of a choral group in which I sing), Audacity does everything that I need.

The US forces obviously were not the only counter forces in Europe. It wasn't just ~300,000 US troops vs the entire Red Army.

It was: the US, the UK, France, Western Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Turkey. Russia also very likely would have lost several of its western post WW2 Soviet Union territories in the chaos.

The US could bomb Russia from all over Europe. Russia couldn't sustain a meaningful bombing campaign against the US mainland. Russia also had a mediocre navy compared to the US. Rapid attrition would have guaranteed a Russian loss.

Russia was very weak for 30 years after WW2 (really their entire existence except for the brief oil boom of 1974-84). While the US was in the exact opposite position. Timely US reinforcement probably would not have been necessary. That's a war that would have gone on either for years, or for a few weeks. Russia also would have had few allies in a European war. The US had the manpower, financial and manufacturing ability to stay in a long-term fight with Russia, whereas Russia could not have afforded to stay in it. They could have never replaced their war manufacturing after the US destroyed it with aerial bombing, and the war would have ended there (in the non-nuclear scenario). Russia would pull out the nuclear card, an equivalent of suing for peace, and that would have been that.

Yes, that is another way to interpret those facts. It's just terrifyingly arrogant and irresponsible.
I think a lot of tech people honestly don't know how to do this.

GIS is a database with mapping software attached. I began explaining it to people as "kind of like SimCity for the real world." People who do GIS get lost in the details. They can't see the forest for the trees. Laypeople need a quick and dirty sketch of the forest in the simplest, most pertinent terms possible.

This is just not easy to pull off when your day to day work is all about cataloguing individual leaves in this vast forest.
At some level, liberal group-think is trying to apply solutions for high-density city living to rural and suburban Californians.

It's a weird sort of militant cultural hegemony that doesn't tolerate even nuanced agreement. The powers that be are actively making life in CA worse, day by day, not realizing the rural and suburban populations support cities by producing the things they need to live.

If you speak privately to most folks who live in LA or SF they'll tell you they HATE the frustrations, but at the same time they're trying to force all Californian's to live like them.

To quote "my dinner with Andre"

“ANDRÉ: . . . And when I was at Findhorn I met this extraordinary English tree expert who had devoted himself to saving trees, and he’d just got back from Washington lobbying to save the Redwoods. And he was eighty-four years old, and he always travels with a backpack because he never knows where he’s going to be tomorrow. And when I met him at Findhorn he said to me, “Where are you from?” And I said, “New York.” And he said, “Ah, New York, yes, that’s a very interesting place. Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave, but never do?” And I said, “Oh, yes.” And he said, “Why do you think they don’t leave?” And I gave him different banal theories. And he said, “Oh, I don’t think it’s that way at all.” He said, “I think that New York is the new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing that they’ve built—they’ve built their own prison—and so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners. And as a result they no longer have—having been lobotomized—the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made or even to see it as a prison.” And then he went into his pocket, and he took out a seed for a tree, and he said, “This is a pine tree.” And he put it in my hand. And he said, “Escape before it’s too late.”

That's Hollywood in a nutshell.

If you don't want to do something, there's someone else that will sacrifice to do it.

Works for companies too. VFX companies will take on a project they'll lose money on just to have a foot in the door with a studio and work on a big movie. This usually means a combination of offshoring and running people ragged.
How is it convoluted? It's as simple as it can possibly be. There are play, stop, pause, and record buttons, and the waveforms go in the main area. Timeline tools are in a smaller section, there are effects in a drop down menu, and the options you'd expect are in the places you'd expect them. I don't see how it could possibly be any more straightforward unless it read your mind.

The size of things: an ngram experiment
- 46.7 million iPhones sold, up 2% YOY for revenue

- 10.3 million iPads sold, up 14% YOY for revenue

- 5.4 million Macs sold, up 25% YOY for revenue

- $8.5 billion services revenue, up 34% YOY

- $3.2 billion other products revenue, up 36% YOY

They seem to be doing really well with Macs and iPads sales, as well as extracting more profit out of iPhone users with services like Music. Apple just finds a way to keep growing. I imagine the reinvented Mac desktop machine might help (https://daringfireball.net/2017/04/the_mac_pro_lives) and hopefully Watch will eventually get the mythical bloodless glucose reader they've been researching for years.

Been throwing around ideas for a personal database for a few months now. The idea now is a sort of personal wiki system where ideas can be collected in markdown formatted pages with internal and external links, as well as all of the other features you would expect from a wiki.

This wiki acts as a backend for the larger project, which will be a personal assistant type service that will be able to read and write from this "database" of personal knowledge and organize deadlines, events, notes, documentation, and references.

Im thinking of making this functionality happen through a MycroftAI plugin, so that you can query the database by voice, and give Mycroft the ability to make agendas and such on the fly based on your personal database.

It's still in the early stages though, as Im still trying to figure out what kind of backend I want to use. I need something cross platform (at least Linux, windows, Android) to edit the database, as to be able to update it as I do research or take notes. Im currently leaning towards DokuWiki due to it's variety of formatting and the fact that it has an API built in, but I have a feeling it's going to get hacky.
Speaking as someone who has worked as a developer for multiple early-stage startups, the opposite is true.

Early-stage startups tend to have rampant technical debt for two reasons:

1) They need to get a product to market immediately and they need to iterate on it rapidly—so using technical debt as a tool to achieve short-term goals quickly is actually awesome.

2) Startups tend to pivot. Making fundamental domain changes to a product quickly tends to give you very weird systems, often with large unused portions.
Fair point but when someone says "X will never ..." as a justification for it not meeting that qualification and there being no evidence that their assertion is true, there is either (a) a fundamental misunderstanding of X or (b) malicious intent.

I don't think suggesting FUD is explicitly saying that (b) is present, it could well be (a) but if that's the case it is still harmful and one can spread FUD without the malice. But it is reckless and irresponsible to state something which is simply not true as if it were fact. This is a problem in our current world and one which has run rampant and I think it is necessary, particularly in forums such as this, to question the assertion of unverified facts.
