I'm currently working through "Deep Learning: A Practitioner's Approach" by Adam Gibson and Josh Patterson. Its a couple of years old but seems like a good book, and I'm certainly learning a lot. It doesn't consider some of the newer tooling, like TensorFlow, but the fundamentals plus a decent amount of theory are all covered.
Also, the first link in the article points to https://fedorahosted.org/freeotp/ but is redirected to a retirement message:

> fedorahosted.org was retired on March 1st, 2017. If you are viewing this page, odds are it's after that date and you have been redirected here by attempting to go to some project on fedorahosted.org.

Further down the page it says [if you are a maintainer]:

> We are also happy to setup redirects for your project to a new location. Just file a issue in https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure and we will try and help you out.

Know nothing about FreeOTP (though sounds interesting!), but my first impressions was also that it probably isn't active, given they haven't decided to set-up a 301 to the new project home.

Did what? The allegations weren't even put to the "accused" let alone a court of law.

Let me be clear, I don't know whether he was guilty or not, the biggest reason being that the accusations are public.

But that's the rub, just an allegation can be enough to trigger all sorts of repercussions regardless of the guilt of the accused.

Accusations should be taken seriously unless prima facie absurd (the raped by someone who wasn't in the country for 20 years level of absurd). And in most cases should initially lead to suspension pending investigation for offences that would lead to a custodial sentence.

Firing and other forms of response where there is no way back is prejudicial and lacking natural justice.

Since the early days for anyone willing to pay for commercial JDKs, only Sun was against AOT compilation.

For those that rather use only OpenJDK, there is Linux x64 AOT support on Java 9, with improved support for other platforms in Java 10 roadmap, some of it already in master.

As for F#, currently it is lacking some love from.NET Framework, UWP and Visual Studio teams, which always think about C# and VB.NET terms. Even C++ seems to be better supported.
I would disagree for research - text is usually in the form of papers. When you're writing a paper there's a strong incentive to make sound it as complicated as possible so very few papers are easy to follow.

Giving a presentation though there isn't such an incentive and the goal is more explicitly to explain your idea rather than to prove how clever it is. So I find presentations easier to follow in general (unless they are a bad speaker, of which there are unfortunately many).

HP printers are excellent in terms of hardware build quality: the Z2100 plotter in my company is a decade old, of which it stood 6 years around unused - gave it a full cleaning, new cartridges and heads a new carriage belt and it was back to mint condition. Oh, and there are still new cartridges and ink tanks made, and there are still recent drivers.

And for most of the consumer gear from HP it's the same: even for really old stuff you can find new tanks/cartridges, drivers for new and old OSes and I've yet to see a HP printer fail in a way I could not fix myself with a service manual.
Please describe the behaviour you're seeing vs. expecting. Is the session not restoring the URLs in the right container? That sounds like a bug to me. The container names (if you change from default) should be stored in the settings – if not, something is wrong on your machine. If you want to always open some specific URLs on start, pin those tabs.
Hello McCulley, sorry I missed your answer.

> Does the current standard provide for automatic deallocation such that one need never instantiate Unchecked_Deallocation?

The standard provide a host of containers and pointer-like constructs that would indeed allow you to never use Unchecked_Deallocation. There's one caveat: Performance.

> Without a garbage collector, who deallocates graphs of objects with circular references?

Like in other languages where you rely on ref-counting, you need to use weak references for that. This requires a bit more explicitness from the programmer.
Man, the design of this is so unpolished that I actually find it a bit stressful to look at. The lack of grid adherence, the strange hierarchy of font sizes, it doesn't seem up to Github's normal high standards of clean and sensible design choices. But then I guess it's new and they'll refine it.
The thing is, why would I, as a customer, give a flying crap about how my voip/webcam/framerate capture client is working internally? I boot the game up, start discord to talk with friends and get banned, and that somehow "serves me right"? Is that a joke? It's supposed to ban cheaters - and using discord is absolutely definitely not cheating.
> But it saves them hosting costs.

This is a stupid argument if they really have it; the game still requires dedicated servers on the one hand, and as many people in this thread already commented, it doesn't make for a good gaming experience. If they did dedicated servers and made sure the experience is polished, more people would play and keep playing, and they'd be able to make more money from in-game purchases and the like.

How is that even remotely reasonable. You got a convoy full of terrorists leaving for safety and/or Europe. It could have been easily bombed to destruction without touching anything else. Easiest and most valuable target of the whole war. And don`t even try to answer with something like "but it was a deal, we had to stand by it". They are a bunch of psychopath terrorists, period. You don`t make deals with them unless it is temporary to screw them later.

Meditation isn't "listening to your body" BS, it's a discipline that needs to be taught and practiced and developed as a skill. You can't just sit, close your eyes and try it on your own. And there are actual studies [1][2] that show the benefits (particularly related to stress and blood pressure), so not exactly pseudoscience either. It isn't particularly difficult to learn to recognize the feeling of different blood pressures in the body during meditation and develop some measure of conscious control over it.

GP is absolutely right that we're a society that has taught ourselves to tune out important signals from the body. If we can unlearn that and better attune ourselves to the relevant sensations in the body, we'd be a lot healthier.

As a suspicion based on what little information is contained in the article, I'd bet that they were messing with ACARS to some degree. This is something you could easily do with off-the-shelf SDR hardware, and the protocol itself has no inherent security features.

As other posters have noted, this could mess with FMS flight plans as well as other logistics (which could be significant from an operational standpoint), but for actual safety of flight it's probably a non-issue.

This isn't new by any means:

Do you know if anyone's looked at weighted average pooling, e.g. weighted by a Gaussian centred on the middle of the receptive field? It feels like this doesn't throw all the spatial information, but also might not be quite as hard to train as capsule networks?

There are some details I haven't thought throw on this, but I'd imagine you'd want your stride length to be around the standard deviation of the Gaussian.

Any pointers to papers on this (or comments on why this obviously won't work) would be very welcome - I'm still trying to develop my intuition on all this!
The last time I tried to install LineageOS on my phone I had to execute a non-reproducible binary of some anonymous haxxor to flash the OS.

It's not clear to me what exactly you expect to Sync.

Container settings (names, colors, icons, assignments) should be synced (if not, please file a bug). Open tabs will be synced, not sure how they will open on another machine (considering URL-to-Container assignments should be synced, they should open in the respective containers – maybe there's a possible improvement here).

I expect the different Cookie stores to be synced as well, if not, that's a bug.

I bet most people find digital security too abstract to understand why it’s important, and not bother with updates that didn’t include shiny new features.

Also, Generic Phones Inc. don’t see any money in pushing out pure security features — only big players get that benefit, because it’s a type of quality thats a tragedy of the commons thing.

I’d change the laws by international treaty to require security patches for all devices for whatever the 2σ lifetime is. If the manufacturers don’t want to do it themselves, then an open source requirements and a sales tax to fund hiring developers to fix it.
My reading is, this change won't affect RSUs those can be traded in public market. It will, however, have huge impact on paper money, because you are taxed in advance, and the return might be zero.

CSV files have a single order and no support for indexes. Even if you sort your CSV on one or more interesting columns and use binary search to locate an interesting range, you can still only do this along a single dimension, any remaining queries must scan the entire file.

That's certainly possible, though I have noticed more quirky behavior than just this - the stand goal was just the most amusing one to me and that is why I posted that particular one here. I sometimes meet the exercise goal on a very sedentary day, while I don't meet it when I vigorously exercise, etc. I have a two story house and I climb and descend the steps probably 15+ times per day, yet for the current week, it shows that I have climbed 4 flights of steps. Then other days it seems like it's right on the mark. It just seems to be all over the place.

Yes, of course some people will hate it so much that they'll boycott the service, whether it's games with DLC or airlines.

But my point is that a much larger segment of the population just likes to complain, and if you listen to what they're saying you'll get an inaccurate picture of reality.

For example, people who complain about the state of seats on airplanes while choosing not to book "economy plus" or "economy comfort" or whatever it's called, which often isn't more expensive than the equivalent of one sit-down meal and a beer at a cheap restaurant.

But those people won't say "listen, all other things being equal I'd prefer a bit more room, but honestly I'd rather save $40 to put up with a bit of discomfort to eat at a better restaurant once I land".

Even though that's the description that best matches reality given the data at hand. Instead they'll go on some tirade about how really they fly so much less than they used to, meanwhile air travel is increasing all over the world and we'd have to assume market researchers for all these airlines are idiots because there's some huge market segment for the taking if they'd only increase leg room a bit.

Which they'll try, but they'll quickly find out that while people complain they're really not prepared to pay an extra $40 for it. So here we are.

Unbundling the browser didn't help the other browser manufacturers.

You don't know before the update if an extension is supported or not. Firefox 56 doesn't support all of the new features of web extensions so some add-ons (and versions) are only available for Firefox 57.

Too bad Mozilla changed the Add-On website a few days ago. You don't see any indication of supported Firefox version anymore. You only see the extensions that work in your current browser, not the extensions for the next version. (Unless you switch to the old layout in an link hidden in the footer.)

Some extensions will be delayed because the deadline (2 years?) wasn't long enough. Some extensions need additional features and may only be available with Firefox 58 or later. Some never.

And you need to invest some time to research this. One starting point is https://arewewebextensionsyet.com/
I really dislike it when companies use a new extension like "github.community" instead of a subdomain like "community.github.com" because there is no real way to know if the site is a phishing attempt or not. Getting people used to accept going to another site seems very bad for security. Especially when there are already domains like http://github.co (notice the .CO instead of .COM) that don't belong to the trademark owner.
