I find it's even better to bring things into a practical example that excludes terminology, even if in reality it maps directly back to it. "Imagine I give you an alphabetized list of n book titles. n could be realllly big. I have another book to add to the collection. How should I do this?" By removing the terminology, I think it lets people look at the problem as a problem instead of a terminology test.

So as you go further out from English speaking country, language becomes more different and more harder to learn? The gradient coloring on the map would have been nice.
I wouldn't say they don't mind. People approve of the goal of you learning their language in the abstract, but if you're slowing down their day or worse their line of customers, you're just going to annoy everyone around you in a way that they will be too polite to make explicitly clear, but will be apparent from their tone of voice, their insistence on answering in English and so on.

The real difficulty of learning a language is thus in my view nothing to do with the language itself, but rather, how good at English the speakers of that language tend to be. If you're in a part of the world where they speak an obscure language and thus all learn English from childhood, the chances of you ever getting fluent are close to zero. Nobody really cares enough to struggle through with you.
Do you really want to have two computers where only one is ever in use, when you could have just one for half the cost?

Your setup is rather peculiar, and wastes a computer. It is usually done with dual-booting or virtualization, while multiple inputs (which I bet your screen has) or HDMI switch could handle it as well (although without handling keyboard/mouse).

KVM's were designed for server environments, sold to server environments, and only take server environments into consideration where VGA+USB will remain the status quo for years to come.

If you're really set on a KVM, take a 4k-capable standalone HDMI switch, a USB "switch" (https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Computer-Peripheral-Sharing-GU..., or a USB KVM), and an arduino to strap it together as a unit. Unless servers do away with VGA (hahah, no), I doubt you'll find a product for an affordable price that does what you want.

iOS has had 6+ digit codes for a while. You shouldn’t be using just 4.

The primary reasons that I, as a small business user who falls under the threshold needed to pay, wouldn't touch Faircode licensed software are :

- If I get invested in using the software in my product or workflow now, if I hit the turnover threshold in a year or two's time, I have no guarantee of what the price of the product will be then. Just because I turnover $1m, if I'm on low margins, the developer has raised the price from the $100 per org now to $1000 per CPU then, and I'm using on 100 CPUS on my cloud service, I'm stuffed. They may also change the terms of the commercial license that cause me issues. It's too much of a risk to invest time in software that I may have the rug pulled out from under my feet at a later date.

- I can't easily change or add to the software and distribute those changes as I can with genuine OSS, because its not clear that any recipient would be able to get a commercial license for the modified software.

As an aside, most Universities and many charities have a turnover/funding > £1m, but (legitimately) limited budgets for software. They won't likely touch Faircode licensed software, which means students won't get exposed to it, which means they won't create a demand for it when they graduate into the workforce. There is a reason that many commercial software companies give free "educational" licenses.
The usual solution for player elimination in online games is the ability to leave the game you've been eliminated from and start another game right away, which is embodied by matchmaking systems and solo queuing.

But I see one problem. Say the image is a photo of a driveway. The gravel on the driveway will look like noise. Will the algorithm now smooth out the driveway, effectively removing the gravel?

At least a "learned", context-aware approach can prevent this from happening in theory.

Isn't it that way: On the field, the language of the common man prevailed: sheep (e.g. german: Schaf). When being prepared in the kitchen, the meat becomes the mutton (french mouton).

Haha, this is too funny. I have an iPhone 5s that I encrypted years ago with a password that I have unfortunately forgotten. Had to start from scratch with my iPhone 6s, because of this. I stopped updating the 5s, hoping that one day there will be an exploit that makes it possible to break in and pull the data. Who would have thought that instead I will be happily upgrading to iOS 11, because apple made it a feature.

I know this is bad, but for me it is awesome right now.

The programmer in this story has realised this fundamental truth:

The spoken word is ephemeral and easily forgot. The design of the product that pays the bills is not so easily undone.

What people say in meetings; all the posturing and preening; the petty one-upmanship and power-play — none of this has any relevance to what actually gets done in the real world.

When it comes to what actually gets implemented — all of the power is in the hands of the programmer who gets there first. After all — once the die has been cast and the direction set, who is going to undo the work and start again?

In this, the programmer is the decider.

Programmers have an immense amount of power, and there is no reason whatsoever why he shouldn’t simply ignore the pointless social preening and get on and make the product that he wants to.

After all, the consequences of his decisions will ripple far and wide thorough the product and beyond and have a heft; a level of consequence and a permanence that no ‘soft’ skills specialist can match.
That's downplaying it slightly. Here's what old english sounded like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH-_GwoO4xI

Even in the written form it's absolutely impossible for me to decipher, it might as well be a completely different language:

>HWÆT, WE GAR-DEna in geardagum,

>þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,

>hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!

The language evolved so drastically over the past thousand years that his germanic roots are buried pretty deep. Nowadays you're likely to find more cognates in a french text than in a german one.

Meanwhile I can find french texts even older than Beowulf and still understand the general gist of it. See for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_of_Saint_Eulalia#Text . Even if you don't speak french comparing the original and modernized french version should be enough to convince you of the similarities:

>Buona pulcella fut eulalia. (Bonne pucelle fut Eulalie.)

>Bel auret corps bellezour anima (Beau avait le corps, belle l’âme.)

>Voldrent la veintre li deo Inimi. (Voulurent la vaincre les ennemis de Dieu)

As a purely practical matter, doesn't most open source software operate the same way that "faircode" is proposing? If your small open source project makes it into a critical system at a large company, you can be sure that they will fund your development (or just hire you). This is already happening.
To be fair you can always deny to give it out to the techs, it's just less convenient for you to do so. I don't think they will refuse to repair your device if you do not give up your passcode.
Why Turkish is easier than Hungarian? Both are almost same in grammer like wovel harmony, suffix oriented language etc.

Also, I hear from Turks that learned Japanese and Hungarian that these languages are easy to learn.
It is quite simply objectively false.

However, there are some factors that need to be taken into account. Farmland and crops that can be used for grazing are not necessarily capable of producing anything fit for human consumption. Livestock can eat cellulose-heavy plants (grasses and shrubs and so on) and convert them to meat and milk, which we can then eat.

The biggest problem then turns out to be cattle. We are eating way too much of it, it's an ineffective process and needlessly resource intensive. We should obviously grow food crops fit for humans where it's possible, but we should also convert to primarily chickens, pigs and other animals that are hardier than cattle and significantly less resource intensive to keep.

Beef has an undeserved reputation for being fancy and higher class than other meats. Add this to the deleterious health effects of a diet high in red meat (generally specified as meat from ruminant animals), and I've personally cut beef almost entirely out of my diet. I prefer chicken, anyway.

Hello Symfony 4
Could be wrong too, ML is not my field.

Basically, a generator neural network has two things which affect its output: an input and some parameters (weights).

Let's use the setting of the task for denoising images. They use a network who's output is to is the denoised image, and compare it to the noisy image to get a score for how good the denoised output was.

Now the strange thing is, for the input of the network, they just use random garbage. The only thing they move around to try get a good denoising score are the parameters of the network (not the input).

They find that by only adjusting the parameters, even with fixed random crap inputs, if they find the parameter setting which minimizes the noise, they actually still get great looking results.

This suggests that the networks they tested this method with (other researchers work who do well on this task) are based much more in the inherent structure of the network, rather than the model refinement from training on thousands of images, since even given random crap, they generates good results, as long as the parameters are tuned well to the noisy image.

>leaders need respect and to be followed.
This works two ways. Parts of it has to be earned, I've worked with founders, whom I would gladly followed when it comes to s/w engineering, but disagree violently when it comes to product/business calls/experiments to do. The reverse has been hard to detect, but my first instinct is that it's a lower percent.

German definitely is difficult in some respects for an English speaker. English grammar has simplified over time in ways that German has not. For instance English used to have a distinction between formal and informal you (thou and ye), centuries ago but that long since passed into disuse. Nowadays there is only one form of "you". Likewise, the English of the 11th century had the Germanic three genders: male, female and neutral. However Old English would be unintelligible to a modern speaker. Gender was gone by the 1300's.

All these things cause tremendous problems for learning the language because you have to track distinctions in the language that don't exist natively so you never had to think about before. Native speakers learn genders just by hearing them repeatedly, at the same time as learning the words, but English speakers learning German normally need to study dictionaries a lot to learn new words and as such genders often get lost or muddled along the way.

One thing that has often intrigued me and which I never saw an explanation for is why older languages often have more elaborate and complex grammar than modern languages, and why English has simplified over time more than others. German seems to have hardly simplified at all outside of the forced spelling reform. The simplification of English grammar has been continual and is ongoing today - we're in the middle of losing the distinction between "less" and "fewer" for example, and "whom" is virtually dead. Presumably there's a grammatical limit somewhere, and presumably very old languages were simpler than medieval languages. But Latin is often held up as the archetype of crisp, consistent yet complex grammar and that's thousands of years old.
Certainly.

However, spaceflight is getting cheaper by the year and is heading into a significant phase change related to costs. Soon the market will be dominated by partially reusable rockets. After a generation or two of improvements those reusable rockets will drive launch costs down by at least an order of magnitude if not two compared to today. That will make doing anything in space cheaper, and it's a fair bet that you'll see more organizations "doing stuff" (launching payloads) into space as a consequence (in fact, this is already happening).

Additionally, there are follow-on effects, especially when it comes to manned spaceflight. Take the ISS for example. Because it exists it means there is a call for services for it, such as crew transfers (Soyuz, formerly Shuttle, and soon Dragon/CST-100), resupply (Progress, Dragon, HTV, Antares, etc.), and module delivery. Lower cost launches would translate naturally to more activity in Earth orbit and more call for services, leading to a feedback loop of increasing activity. Within 20 years you'll see not just space stations but orbital towns and maybe even cities, as well as industrial establishments where R&D is performed on-orbit. Imagine how much more effective you could be at designing satellites and spacecraft if you had an on orbit environment that you could as a prototype test environment whenever you wanted to at low cost. All of that translates into orders of magnitude more activity in space at orders of magnitude lower marginal costs.

And in that environment, asteroid mining seems pretty sensible, not for service to Earth's surface but for service to on orbit activities. For one the equipment and infrastructure to exploit such resources will be cheaper to put into space due to lower launch costs, lowering the necessary price-point where profit is possible. For another, the customer base will be large and capable of making use of even bulk materials.

In that world, the world of 10, 20, 30+ years from now, asteroid mining will make sound economic sense. But the time to begin pursuing technology development is not 30 years from now, it's today. Building prototypes, figuring out what's possible, learning the early lessons as early as possible at comparatively low cost will give those operators a huge jump as changes bring their business into viability. Especially so in regard to the legal precedents in terms of laying claim to resources. For something that could easily be a trillion dollar a year, or more, industry in 30 years, that's an excellent RoI.
Isn’t there a Billy Joel song about this?
There is also far less apetite for "tech unicorn" startups and IPOs on Wall Street now than a few years ago. The gold rush is over and now people are waking up to the fact that most of those super hyped companies will never turn into the next Facebook. The Fed having turned of the money faucet (i.e. quantitative easing) probably has something to do with that, too. Plus we have seen a sector rotation from tech to financial stocks recently.

Without a greater fool to sell the VC's stake to after a few years at most, the whole VC business case wouldn't work. That means VCs have to be far more discerning.
It is my understanding that there is no technical reason but rather a personal preference of Linus to continue working with plain C.

I did some kernel development (mainly some drivers) and I am also doing a lot of embedded development (credit card terminals, personal projects for ARM Cortex-M) I must say that I am happy with this choice.

The kernel is complex enough and you want to focus on understanding what really matters without being distracted by arcane constructs that would inevitably come with C++.

My experience with C++ guys is that there will inevitably be a population of smart developers which will try to be "smart" with the language which typically ends up with everybody else spending more time on understanding what is happening than the time that was actually saved by the construct.

C does not pose that problem. C is simple and there is relatively little occasion to be very smart with it, which is a good thing, IMHO.
East this covered 15 years ago
I just realized that I turned into Jamie sometimes as well.

At the beginning of a project, I worked without respect to boundaries. When a bug in another teams codebase held me back, I fixed it there. Over time I learned that this was neither appreciated nor welcome for some, so I stopped doing it. Unfortunately, this also a problem for me, because the bugs don't get fixed and block me.

I invited a programmer from another team into my repo and we collaborated there. Then I was told not to do the work for another team (by the other team, ironically), so we forked. Now the repos have diverged and the users, who want to use both, suffer.
"Four and twenty" is idiomatic English in that it survives in the children's nursery rhyme Sing a Song of Sixpence.

It was composed around the same time that William of Orange reigned as king of the UK, so maybe that's a Dutch influence on our language!

I only know this because Four'n Twenty is the unofficial national dish of Melbourne. :)

Oil Shell Blog Retrospective #3
How would you feel if:

- you were a chef. you went to culinary school and know about cooking and best practices.

- you are asked to forget everything you learned in school and flip burgers with overly reused oil and unwashed equipment.

- you are told that there's no time to clean the kitchen, or wash your hands. just flip as many burgers as possible to maximize profit.

- the ones that cook the most burgers are rewarded, treated well, promoted. as soon as cooks realize this, they start making half-cooked burgers that make people sick.

- the customers get sick all the time from the lack of hygiene. you talk about it, and you are told to keep doing what you are doing, or that you don't understand what being a chef is, or what the business is.

- in the end the only source of gratification is getting a paycheck, or doing something in your spare time. you are not cooking real food, just part of a machine that makes money for a self-serving company while ripping off the customer.

This is what it feels to be an engineer in many companies.
