We seem to be lacking a theory of aerodynamics for neural networks. Most research seems to be judged by performance. The Aerodyanmic equivalent focusing on building a more powerful engine rather than wing design. The fact that we still visualize all the spurious w_ij weights in a network is a symptom of this problem. You wouldn’t show a fully connected circuit diagram for an 8 bit adder with spurious logical connections, but this is exactly what we do when we visualize NN topologies.

There’s some great work in Artificial Gene Networks that tries to tackle this problem. AGNs are mathematically the same as ANNs.

Here’s a paper I wrote in 2008 with about 170 citations that has a lot of relevant references: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2538912/

Boston Dynamics: The New SpotMini
Try and figure out why it takes so long to build and see if the process can be streamlined.

If it's the link time that is taking that long then consider splitting the projects up into DLLs so that it's reduced or eliminated. (I assume you're on windows because you said Solution, which means MSVC)

If it's just taking that long to compile, then consider using less templates, more forward declares, less headers being included in headers. Precompiled headers are a must too.

If all that has been done then consider using a distributed build system, there are many out there from Incredibuild, proprietary stuff from Sony, fastbuild, or other open source solutions.

Then there's also unity builds, but I despise them because they effectively break certain forms of file based encapsulation.

Hi I am Hürkan Akbıyık,

I want to work as a "Full Stack Web Engineer"

First of all i need VISA for relocate. I am working with web technologies over 4 years.

I can create Web Projects with AngularJS, Angular2, ReactJS, MongoDB, ExpressJS, Socket IO or Spring MVC. I am familiar with Bootstrap, Angular Material (Material Design) and Semantic UI. But if my company want pure design i can create pure projects.

I can also create backend systems for microservices.
There is no country in the developed world where politicians aren't constantly bribed, pandered to, influenced via wealth & power from the private sector, and so on.

There are no exceptions. Routine scandals - only the things that get caught - over the last three or four decades, from Canada to France to Western Europe to Australia to South Korea to China to Japan prove this point dramatically.
Agree about marketing. Mozilla needs to get the word out to those who don't follow the tech scene in any way, shape or form. That's the real challenge, but there also lie the bulk of its potential user base. Not sure exactly how they can do that without resorting to annoying, almost sleazy stuff that Google do (like bundling their browser with many other s/w and OEM system builders)...

Quantum... I like to think of 57 and beyond as a quantum leap from before. They did after all let go of XUL overnight, and people do praise its speed overnight. :-)

Same here. Ofcourse when vast natural gas deposits were discovered nuclear energy was no longer needed.

Countries like France and Japan didn't have an alternative, they had to go all in on nuclear reactors. I think nuclear is a lazy cop out. Until every roof in Europe has solar cells we should not even be thinking about building new reactors.

I'm thinking the OP meant that, when looking to upgrade, the 2015 model was the only choice left, due to the changes in the 2016 model. I'm guessing that because I came to a similar conclusion. My decision was a combination of the new design choices and price point - a refurb 2015 gave me more consistency with earlier models, while saving > $1000. There were/are positive aspects to the 2016 (I miss the touchid on the model I had for a couple weeks) but enough annoyances to make the question the value I was getting at that price point. My 2016 ended up being... $3700? Had it been, say, $2500, it would have been a no brainer to keep, even with some of the design drawbacks.
I agree, but it would be a nice bonus not to have to pay for Windows at all. This also gives a clear signal to Dell.
GDP is a really interesting company.

Their Win10/Android handhelds/game consoles seem to be under the radar in the West, but judging from Chinese sites seem to be killing it there.

I think I'd find 7" too small - I had a 10" Netbook for a while, and it wasn't awesome. I did like my 7" Nexus tablet though, so maybe?

Personally, I'd love to see official Linux support for the Xiaomi Mi Laptops, which seem perfect to me.
I personally own the 2014 15" MBP — and would agree with the post.

My work–issued 2017 13" MBP requires 2x dongles to run a dual screen setup — at a total cost of $240 — which is just ridiculous. And I have to carry one everywhere, just in-case I want to jack into HDMI (ie; visiting customer, presenting research). HDMI will be the prevailing standard for some time, and is ubiquitous.

In the case of Neutronium, the framework follows standard MVVM with WPF controls. It can bind same data context as standard wpf component so there is a very smooth learning curve
Google has not in fact, forked Swift. So there's no news here, just FUD.
My monitor, a Dell UP2715K, is one of the most unsupported pieces of hardware I've ever dealt with on Linux. It has been a nightmare. Nvidia graphics card support has caused me weeks of grief as well. So why have I kept it? Because when I finally got everything to work, I have become addicted to the quality of the text! I honestly can't work with other monitors now due to the low DPI looking like absolute crap. Apple has ruined me. Too bad no one else has stepped into the 5K monitor market.
Competent chatty people.

If you can't express your competency during an interview chat I don't see how you could be a good candidate (there are exceptions), nothing more damaging to a team that someone who can't communicate.
Right. If Google had donated to his campaign, and he subsequently didn't investigate plausible antitrust allegations against Google, that'd be suspicious. This is just a guy listening to a supporter.

How are you liking the surface book? I was on the fence, and... to get the model I'd want, it's still > $2k - not something I'm going to just randomly grab to try out for a bit. But... the build quality seems very 2015 MBP, and as the specs improve, I'm tempted. Perhaps that'll be a 2018 upgrade?

Any downsides you've hit in switching? I do a lot of work with intellij/phpstorm, vagrant/vms - I'm assuming there wouldn't be any substantive changes in those. Also, some of the WSL/ubuntu stuff in win10 looks promising too.
I cringed too. This is akin to a religious dogma at many places I have worked at and is a huge red flag for me, as an employee.

However, the rest of the article makes some good points (testing on the ability to do the job is a better predictor of job performance), you shouldn’t dismiss it out of hand.
It's probably wrong to reduce a person's success to one measure. He obviously had his failures, but his contributions to Zimbabwe's healthcare and education systems are what I remember and is why I called him a good leader early on.

Even today, here in neighbouring South Africa, there is a big gap in the average literacy rate of Zimbabwean and a South African.

Thing is, if the right way to do it is an umbrella project, why does Phoenix 'take charge' by default (mix phx.new)? There's other similar stuff I ran into that I can't think of right now, but it's an example of what causes this confusion.

I mean, I understand if the explicit goal of Phoenix is the provide an easy entry point for Rails devs, but I guess I'd like it if that was more explicit.

All that said, I'm being nitpicky/pedantic. I love both Phoenix and Elixir, and the ecosystem. And yes, I've been enjoying the elixir forums. Do you happen to know if there's some way to get a decent mobile version?
I could never pinpoint what foods caused trouble for me until I was an adult. Turns out I have (what I call) an intolerance to canola oil. No allergic reaction, but serious digestive trouble / etc. And it can be in anything. Different production runs of the same brand of crackers can use different oils so it is nearly impossible to identify unless you stumble upon it by accidentally fasting due to flight problems and just making hashbrowns (potatoes and canola) at your destination as a snack. I had accepted it as a fact of life until eliminating it from my diet, and lo and behold, food is always awesome.
I though your government was stating there is no need to protect the environment, as it is the product of a collective phantasy of so called researchers.
For me one skill that stands out as a predictor for performance is the person's ability to do code reviews.

Of course not all decent devs are particularly good at this [1], but from my experience below average ones are consistently unable to find flaws in both their own and someone else's code or even if they do they don't care enough to point that out.

[1] Not saying I'm an especially decent dev, but although I manage, reviews are hard for me because I'm way to lenient - I guess it boils down to trying not to hurt other people's feelings.

That's an interesting claim about readability. You may as well argue that compilation of C program reduces its readability.
Minification should be a step of making a production build. It does not affect source code and thus it does not affect readability.
Not to belabour the metaphor or anything but if your footartillery doesn't fire, you still have feet.

This is probably the point that simias is making and I tend to agree. It's straightforward to get a simple C++ program working with decent performance if you know C. And RAII, std::vec etc makes you feel quite productive.

Now, at some point you'll notice that debug and release don't act the same way. Occasionally. Or you try to add threading to a single-threaded program. Then the love will die (due to bloodloss from blowing off the whole leg). But that's often after months of reasonably productive development.

Rust, to a large extent, will prevent you from ever getting to that state and that's a very good thing. But the upfront cost is quite high. My guess is that those of us who have experienced the C++ pain will appreciate the value that that cost is buying.

But I'm hopeful that Rust will draw a wider audience primarily because of your last point. It's really quite conservative at present. The NLS work is already expanding the scope of acceptable programs and, I presume, that what is learnt from that effort will seed further work in that space.

That's a partial answer, but a more complete answer is that saying those words will get you labeled as a racist, even if you're repeating what someone else said. People are so terrified of this that they won't risk it. It's not just courtesy.
Does anyone know of any possible alternatives? I'm just curious what the options are, because this seems like a lot of fun.
When you're a small company which hope to grow it can be a win-win for both you and your employees (if they understand correctly how options work) : you may be short on cash, but confident in your growth, and if they too feel confident they can choose to work for less cash compensation but with a chance of getting more when converting their options later

Yes but how many of those are just mirrors and sources for non-contributors to find the code. See Linux Kernel as an example, the Kernel is mirrored on GitHub but none of the actual development takes place there.

It depends a bit on the age of the compiler. I hit a strange bug in Micropython back when it was still pretty new, that would lead to 0 != 0:

You might not take a close look, the one from Tsinghua is not second author, it is noted as an equal contributor. And there may be two western universities in total, taking into account of all authors. I like how your logics goes, that it is up to you to assign the credit as how much goes to who, everything doesn't fit your narrative doesn't count. As to your trivia, I don't think it matters, since his best research is done in MSRA, with coauthors that are mainland Chinese, not in that Hong Kong University.

Majority of authors of the papers are from China, the research is done by Chinese, mainly in mainland China, I believe they are Chinese enough, the point I want to make is obvious. Otherwise, I feel majority of the US CV papers would be disqualified because they are likely not done by locals here.

Last but not least, I was answering to the question as regards to good Chinese papers, not specifically from Chinese universities, not directly towards your question after all.
then the term "solidarity" loses meaning when prefixed with "tech worker", unless you mean a specific political subset of tech workers. But then that's not "tech worker solidarity" because you are separating out leftist tech workers from centrist or rightists.
Although the study isn't about the FODMAPs generally, note that fructose itself is also a FODMAP (when present in larger quantities than glucose), and so could also cause similar symptoms.
Indeed, good point.
> If you’re the kind of programmer who is likely to find compiler errors, you probably know who you are.

A Swift developer?

Just yesterday I found myself compiling a new part of code in increments because all of the new code together wouldn't compile but adding the code and import first, compiling it before adding @UIApplicationMain would compile just fine. Exactly the same code that didn't build before.

I can't imagine what I would have done if I would have trusted that this was my error because the compiler would not make mistakes.

Though nothing compared to Swift 1.x, things tend to work generally and if the compiler does crash it'll crash on weird programming mistakes (like referencing type(of: self) before init() was called)

There were two pivotal events during EuroMaidan protests.

1. Beating of the students on 30th of November. Before that the protests were small and getting smaller.

2. Use of lethal force against protesters which lead to a lot of supporters abandoning Yanukovych making it possible to vote against him in parliament with 328/450 votes.

If both of those are acts of "overthrowing government" then US could control it on such a level, that overthrowing is just plain unnecessary.
If you lose performance on every single request, scale will only make you lose more. But yes, you can offload a tiny amount of server-side processing onto the client side. If that makes a difference in your costs ...

No I can't say then go for it. What you say is bullshit. Offloading string mangling to the client at the cost of doing extra requests is absurd.

We established that a single request (ie. directly filled in page) is going to be faster than javascript doing requests. You appear to agree. The only thing scale will bring is a bigger difference.

Javascript/AJAX is simply a manifestation of "Worse is better":

1) programmers start making websites. Good ones, and bad ones.

2) we see lots of examples of badly programmed server-side programming.

3) "we must fix this", and so now we do client side programming

4) incredible amounts of examples of bad client-side programming

That's a nice rule in general, although I think Elon is underestimating people's capabilities to rationalize past decisions.

Simpler explanation: there are less women applying and therefore less women selected. IMO framing an individual getting a job as “representing” a particular group is just faulty thinking created by a faulty ideology.

Multiple problems with your argumentation:

1. women and minorities are underrepresented. True. That does not imply there is sexism. In reality, women have a 2:1 chance over men to get hired, just because everyone is desperate to hire women. Be it to improve the image, whatever. Source http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2015/04/women-preferred-21-o...

2. Norway (correct me if I'm wrong on the country) experimented with genderless and faceless applications. The result: Men were actually favoured over women in STEM. How can we explain that? It's certainly not sexism.

At the end of the day, it comes down to this: it is very controversial to say men and women chose differently, but they do. And there's nothing wrong with that! Isn't that what early feminists fought for? Were is the "sexism" in plumbing, oil rigs, and other less desirable jobs? There are virtually only men on those jobs. Tells you what these "diversity" people really are: jealous.

EDIT: Grammar
From the heading I misunderstood google has forked the swift. I was little bit hurt, google always do same thing like they took WebKit and forked it and made it own version of browser instead of contributing back to webkit.

Facebook people also contribute to Swift but Facebook has no fork in their repository instead the person who contributes have in their own repo.

I have read somewhere steve jobs was very unhappy with this event and that is the reason they make their technologies close.

Swift is hard work of lot of people and Swift community, I really love the openness it brings in Apple. These types of incidents make them to rethink their decision and let developers like us to not involve in their choices.

Chris Lattner has done wonderful job to make community like this and if google misuse and made their own language out of hard work of swift community I do not think it is good for any of us.

I read google have not forked so I take my comment back as I cannot delete it.

Thanks HN

I'd argue that Makefiles are a good argument in favour of programmability, compared to something like Maven which is configurable. Gulp doesn't really play in the same league as webpack as it's not really got the ecosystem, nor is it optimised for, web builds. Declarative config definitely seems to be winning out in terms of popularity but the more configurable you need your build to be, the more the config ends up replicating a programming language anyway - or you end up being locked into restrictive rulesets and patterns, like webpack does.
Even if the bank transactions are expensive, we should consider that most people don't mind paying a small amount for content every month, say $25. Losing that money would be no disaster. So why not pay that amount to a party that pays content creators, so they can distribute the money. They are not banks, but if they screw up, then it's not a disaster happening, it's only 25 bucks. But they will not screw up anyway, since they would lose all their customers.

And after you've used up your $25, you could "refill" your account by depositing another $25.

I actually don't see what the big problem is.

Invest in a fast computer. Many cores to compile in parallel, a lot of memory to avoid swapping, fast SSD storage to access tens of thousands of files quickly, good cooling to keep it running.

How many users will this system have at its peak, in your opinion?
yodon is correct Microsoft has neglected WPF during the last year, and as the same time the javascript commutity was growing fast and hard.
So why Neutronium?
1) There is much more javascript/HTML UI components
maintened by the community available. Consider for example fantastic library such as D3.js.
2) MVVM is a great pattern but it can be cumbersome to write binding with converters, etc.. With Neutronium, you can use Vue computed for example and reach the result faster.
3) There is much more HTML/CSS designers than WPF designers.

I wrote a .Net assembly analyser/visualizer: https://github.com/NeutroniumCore/CodeDependencyScanner
based on Neutronium and D3.js, sincerelly writing a similar software shoudld be an herculean task.
