I use one at work and never thought much about it. But reading this I have to agree. It simply works. I never had to think about my hardware because it silently and adequately does its job. If I owned any other Apple devices, I imagine the experience would be even better.

I have an expensive Windows laptop for personal use. The much more impressive specs aside, the experience is admittedly inferior. Why is it taking so long to build a similarly seamless laptop on Windows?
I also really don't like this change, but you have to understand why it matters for you.

If you just wanted to be able to store different types in an index - you still can, just that the type will not be stored in a meta "_type" field but in a document level "type" (or whatever) field. Of course, the API does change since it's not in the URL and if you're creating custom doc ids you'll probably have to include the type in that (comment-123, post-123). So it's annoying, but I think mostly something that can worked around.

If you're using multiple types for parent-child, the situation is more bleak. They are still going to have a "join field" but there can only be one type of relation. While often this is ok, there are definitely reasonable use cases where it's not.

Currently the traditional parent-child hasn't been removed from the core because they need to support 5.x indices. But it will be phased out unless there is a big uproar.

> You can currently buy psychoactive mushrooms in stores in The Netherlands.

No you can't (anymore). They are illegal since 2008. I remember when they became illegal since me and my friends used to experiment with them, but a few unfortunate accidents/deaths involving tourists combining them with other (illegal) drugs lead to their prohibition. *

I would also consider installing ad blocker(s) into his browser (and possibly hiding the icon) along with the anti ad blocker blocker, so not to get those pop ups saying you are using ad blocking. It is what I have done with family in the past in order to help cut down on a lot of that stuff.
I have worked in a domain where "it is often a compiler error" -- scientific simulation. In particular, Intel's C and Fortran compilers generally produce the fastest binaries on Intel hardware but they also seemed to break builds a lot. The answer to "the validation suite no longer passes" was often "use this specific point release of the compiler."

I wasn't personally developing the core simulation software itself at the time, just building it from source and writing extensions. I don't know if these frequent breakages were actually outright compiler bugs or just relying on conventions that weren't guaranteed by language specs. But I do know that switching to one particular blessed compiler revision was often the fastest way to pass validation and move on to your actual research problems.
There is literally so much negative news on Tesla lately.

I am not even a fan of the stock either, but damn their is a gigantic microscope on them.

It would be rather useful to see how many articles are written about a company and then be able to see if they are negative or positive, b)c I beg the ration for Tesla would be way negative.

>Tesla has roughly 33,000 employees globally but has never publicly released its diversity statistics.

100/33000 = 0.303% is representative of the company values.

I bet their are a ton of lawsuits against other major corporations that we do not hear about, but anything related to Elon Musk will cause a commotion.

This is poor journalism and sensationalism from Bloomberg.

Maybe they will interview one of their analysts and ask them for their analysis on the issue.

BLOOMBERG... Second.
What does that have to do with racism?
> A democratically run company is still an owner of private property,

In the capitalist public/private sense, yes; in the socialist personal/private/social sense, this is social not private property (specifically, cooperative social property.)

The sense of “private property” opposed by socialism is not at all the sense which is opposed to “public property”.
I'd look at the Zotero standalone, but that's just an offhand guess. Other than that, I got nothin' - except 52 ESR, which is good for security updates until some time next year, and won't get the breaking changes from 57.
It's simple. If you aren't White, and someone makes you stressed out or unhappy you can always accuse them of racism as a way of lashing out or getting some recompense. Similar thing works for women, but racism has much more stigma than sexism.

I honestly don't blame people who try to get while the getting is good (by using their "oppression" to their advantage). You can thank popular culture's dramatic playing up of racial tensions over the past century for this crappy situation.

In the end I think episodes like this will cement in our minds the truth that diversity is NOT a strength. Never was. Never will be. No matter how much we indulge in feel good "chicken soup for the soul" type narratives about it working out in some cherry picked instances.
TensorFlow Lite is an interpreter in contrast with XLA which is a compiler. The advantage of TensorFlow lite is that a single interpreter can handle several models rather than needing specialized code for each model and each target platform. TensorFlow Lite’s core kernels have also been hand-optimized for common machine learning patterns. The advantage of compiler approaches is fusing many operations to reduce memory bandwidth (and thus speed). TensorFlow lite fuses many common patterns in the TensorFlow converter. We are of course excited about the possibility of using JIT techniques and using XLA technology within the TensorFlow Lite interpreter or as part of the TensorFlow Lite converter as a possible future direction.
I’ve been writing c++ for about 9 years now, and I’ve hit plenty of errors in the compiler, some even with perfectly valid code.

I still always blame my own code first though
I'm not sure we are talking about the middle ages here.
This release of Tensorflow Lite doesn't leverage the Pixel Visual Core. We will explore different hardware options available to us in the future.
Do we need a new format? I remember jpeg's had this kind of functionality back in the days of dialup, all the patents for that should have expired long ago.
The main TensorFlow interpreter provides a lot of functionality for larger machines like servers (e.g. Desktop GPU support and distributed support). Of course, TensorFlow lite does run on standard PCs and servers, so using it on non-mobile/small devices is possible. If you wanted to create a very small microservice, TensorFlow lite would likely work, and we’d love to hear about your experiences, if you try this.
The "official" O'Reilly books are pretty good, Learning OpenCV by Kaehler and Bradski (I say official because Gary Bradski was one of the original maintainers). Make sure you get the new one for OpenCV 3. They cover a lot of the algorithms behind the code which is nice.

There's also https://www.pyimagesearch.com/ which is great. It's ultimately a hook to get you to buy the course, and I think the teaching style may put off some people, but everything is thorouhgly explained and there's a lot of cool mini projects.
I have no idea how what you are saying related to compressing images before they are sent?
"many of the attacks on the proposal appear to be paid efforts by Oracle to discredit open source"

Shocking
We developed TensorFlow lite to be small enough to target really small devices that lack MMU’s like the ARM Cortex M MCU series, but we haven’t done the actual work to target those devices. That being said, we are excited when the ecosystem and community around machine learning expands.
wonder how you can combine high turnover with rocket science disruption. There's a limited supply of people qualified enough to work in that company, so you would think that they make everything possible to keep them.
They put 8 years of effort into extension parity. At some point you end up deciding that the breakage is less important than fixing foundational problems that cause people to leave your platform in droves due to the lack of ability to fix performance and security problems.

There are a few extensions I use that have stopped working that don't have a replacement (yet?), which sucks, but the tradeoff is well worth it.
It'd be interesting to know specifics.
Correct, they have been outlawed since 2008. "Magic truffles" are not anywhere near as potent as were the mushrooms.

Back in 2010 I wanted to try out Scala. I fired up the REPL and did this:

scala> 1+2
res0: Int = 12

Here is a blog post I wrote about it at the time: https://illuminatedcomputing.com/posts/2010/11/no-luck-tryin...

I was running under Cygwin and the issue was something about the Java-based readline library.

I filed a ticket (linked in my blog post but the link is broken now), but the maintainers' response was something like "Yeah right. Closed."

You'd think compiler bugs would be more obscure than 1+2. :-)
OOP Design Patterns Without Inheritence
That's not really what I meant. What I really meant was that Manuscript very clearly does project management (it's even in the title of the site), which Trello did. I imagine that would be a 'no-no' in the Trello sale to Atlassian.

Or is that not the case, contractually?
Not true. Hydro is a great example. The majority of hydro deaths are caused by dam failures. The most deadly dam failure in the world was the Banqiao Dam. It's failure caused 85,000 direct deaths and an estimated 150,000 deaths due to famine caused by destruction of cropland. Even in the US, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_failure lists 498 deaths in the US alone since 1945 while generating significantly less power than nuclear has in that time. And that doesn't include the tens of people who die in boating accidents related to dams every single year.

If it helps at all, Kibana also had to be updated to go from multiple types to a single type. It was a big project, and a bunch of approaches were explored for dealing with existing data (which I assume you are).

Ultimately, we settled on continuing to have different "types" in Kibana, but we treated them as data concerns rather than architectural concerns of Elasticsearch. At a high level, this meant that we added a new "type" field to documents to track the type itself, and then we prefixed fields with the type as well to preserve the ability to use the same userland id on different "types" in the index and such. The type/id prefixing thing doesn't get exposed beyond the layer that queries Elasticsearch for the kibana index.

Once that change was ready in the code, we also had to consider the need for users to migrate their existing multiple-type index to this new format. The upgrade assistant in x-pack basic handles all of this automatically, but folks can certainly repurpose the same reindexing operation we perform on .kibana on your own indices.

The underlying steps and reindex operation for this are outlined on the docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/migrating-6.0...

The actual data transformation happens in step 3.

I hope this helps!
I can not grasp why any company does this - I suspect that this is a union created kafuffle - for obvious reasons.

High stress, ultra-competitive workplace culture brings out the worst in people. This is not exactly a secret.
A country with a 3-4% growth rate is doubling its population about every 20 years.

For that country's carbon footprint to just remain stable, they will have to halve the amount of carbon emissions per person every 20 years.

This means that these countries will need to completely replace their infrastructure with technology and processes that are twice as efficient every 20 years, just to keep their carbon emissions stable.

I just don't see any way for technology and infrastructure to outpace population growth that fast.

Most realistically with population growth this high, there is probably going to be an explosion of carbon emissions regardless of how much green technology is rolled out in parallel.

I deleted my facebook app since half of the posts in my feed were fake anyway. Facebook disguises ads as friend's share and likes, even when it is obvious that a particular friend would never like a corporate page. They even pushed the bad taste by making my deceased father (who's account we didn't think to delete) like things after he passed. So if you add fake profiles to that...

As a note, I hadn't received an email from facebook since pretty much I registered many years ago. Since I deleted the app a few weeks ago, facebook started spamming my email with notifications. And they use this trick that is really a new low, they create a thousand different kinds of mailing list so that every time you unsubscribe from one, you still receive new spam because it's "another" mailing list.

> your ME probably can't access the network

Your ME can trivially pwn your OS and can therefore access the network. Moreover, I'd be shocked if the ME couldn't reflash your full firmware. How? By subverting early boot or by subverting SMM. This means that an ME code execution exploit can very likely become persistent. I bet it can also fairly bypass Boot Guard. Secure Boot doesn't help at all.

The upshot being that it's very likely that a malicious USB stick can persistently compromise any modern Intel box in a fairly generic way.

This is bad.
The current MacBook Pro should've been a separate product line, like the MacBook Air was. Those who are happy with the sacrifices it makes could switch over, but they wouldn't have to leave everyone else out in the cold.
He might not be a native English speaker. It does irk me a tad as well though. But if he's not a native speaker, the odds are low that we'd be able to communicate perfectly in their language. (Though I'm not a native speaker either)
Yes, this would basically be death by brain damage -- even if I was somehow fooled in to thinking that I was still me at the point of death. Little by little I'd be made in to someone else.

That said, it could be argued that this sort of thing happens all the time anyway. I'm not the person I once was. In a sense, the old me died and was replaced by the new me. Yet I still consider the new me to be myself.

Or maybe not. The child me is dead, though echoes of him may live on in me.

I guess what disturbs me about a mechanical/cybernetic brain replacement is that it would feel to me too much like some technological virus or disease taking over my mind and body -- even if it gave me some super powers or preserved me in some way. I guess some injured people or people who are dying anyway might not have much of a choice.. but as long as I still have a choice I think I'd choose to remain organic.

It's not an easy choice, however, and I would have no problem use various prosthesis like glasses.. or enhancing my memory with external devices like smartphones/PDA's/computers. It's just too invasive for that to be made a part of me... at least if it starts to make decisions. But probably children born in to a world where that sort of thing was commonplace probably wouldn't have much of a problem with it.
If I could get one of the late 2000s 17" MacBook Pros, but with updated internals, that would definitely be my next laptop. I know several people that bought them for college and are still chugging away with them a decade later.

Having gone through their HR pipeline, it seems highly dysfunctional. Not surprised by your experience.
The pre-installed X-Pack basic license sounds great as well: this at least allows one to use features like monitoring, dev tools and the upgrade assistant out of the box, without the 30-day trial kicking in as was the case for the 5.x Docker images.
This is my hypothesis as well, but I think if you were to shut down the "old you" (e.g. goto sleep and never wake up) you really wouldn't care. You didn't experience any pain and you don't exist anymore, so you have nothing to be upset about b/c by definition you don't have any feelings. It's basically the equivalent of a Move operation across two computers. Such a Move operation can be decomposed into a Copy + Delete. First copy the existing file to the new location, then delete the old file from the existing location. Do we feel bad for the old bits? Are we really fundamentally special just because we are carbon based life-forms with an electro chemical implementation?

I disagree on protein folding- It seems to me that AlphaGo Zero is a great analogy to the protein folding problem: If you have a good algorithm for folding 100 amino-acid proteins you can use that to brute force an algorithm for 110 amino-acid proteins, then use that as a training set to develop a good algorithm for 110 amino-acid proteins, then continue iterating in this way (or so I hope)

> Personally, I have never, in the whole history of Firefox had a problem with its speed.

That's... weird. To put it nicely.

I've been using Mozilla since early in its milestone phases, and Firefox since it came out. Firefox was originally a pretty nimble browser, but fairly quickly became super slow. When Chrome came out I couldn't believe the difference in speed. Everything from UI responsiveness to rendering speed to reliability was better.

At some point I moved back to Firefox for a single reason: I had an 8GB laptop and Chrome's memory usage would balloon with the number of tabs I usually keep around, to the point that it made my laptop unusable. I lived with Firefox being much slower in general because its worst-case performance was much better than Chrome's on a memory-constrained laptop.

Since I force-enabled e10s a year or so ago things have gotten much better (despite the bugs). I still use Chrome every now and then for the odd website that chokes on some combination of Firefox plus the extensions I have installed, not to mention Chromecast support. But Firefox 57 is finally now faster than Chrome by default, and the difference is night and day. It's completely inconceivable to me that you suggest that Firefox hasn't had severe performance problems. The fact that Mozilla has been focusing so hard on perf for nearly a decade now is more than enough evidence to me that it's been a huge problem.

The Human Genome Project is one of his most cited examples. After 15 years of work the team was at 1% completion. Critics were vocal about how it would take 100+ years to complete. Kurzweil predicted 7 years (7 Doublings of 1 is 128).

I have hit a number of C/C++ compiler bugs in GCC, MS VC, Code Warrior and various in other languages (for example shader compilers).

In fairness, if someone is a jerk to you, but sincerely apologizes, it is important to be thick-skinned and accept that apology.

In 4-5 months, ESR will be replaced by Firefox 59, and support for 52 will end shortly after.
