Ah, thanks for clarifying. Maybe just my bias but when I see 'efficiency' w/r/t media codecs, I presume you're talking about decoder efficiency, because that's much more important for a popular codec IMO.

My kid would fall asleep 100% in the car. Heck there were times when I would take her for a drive precisely for this purpose. After five minutes driving she would fall asleep.

I then used to take out the car seat with her so not to wake her up.
Sure you can. Newspapers do this in rural areas.
Probably to make it feel like the video is being filmed through Snapchat :)
Just because you trust the first party site with that information doesn't mean you would necessarily trust a third party to store or transmit that info.
The maintainer has updated the deb package today (we released v1.1 today). Please allow some time to get v1.1 mainline.
There is also possibility the existing laws take into account intent. Filming with a nanny cam that is visible (even if you don't call it out) to protect your kid is allowed. Filming with a hidden cam for prurient reasons is illegal. Proving intent would be case by case and up to a prosecutor/court.
Hate to break it to you, but Snapchat still struggles to focus quickly. Probably because they're using the viewfinder's built-in lower resolution to perform the focus action, which further hampers its ability to focus on an object accurately
One of the things the performance monitoring unit (PMU) is capable of doing is triggering an interrupt (the PMI) when a counter overflows. When combined with the ability to write to the counters, this lets you program the PMU to interrupt after a certain number of counted events. Nehalem supposedly had a bug where the PMI fires not on overflow but instead whenever the counter is zero. Xen added a workaround to set the value to 1 whenever it would instead be 0. Later this was observed on microarchitectures other than Nehalem and Xen broadened the workaround to run on every x86 CPU. Intel never provided any help in narrowing it down and there don't seem to be official errata for this behavior too.

This behavior is ok for statistically profiling frequent events but if you depend on exact counts (as rr does) or are profiling infrequent events it can mess up your day.

The NIC that is used by EC2 Bare Metal instances is an Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) PCI device that surfaces a logical VPC Elastic Network Interface. ENA is implemented in an ASIC that we design and build.

When ENA is used in virtualized instances, Intel VT-d and SR-IOV are used to bypass the hypervisor. When ENA is used in a bare metal instance, the OS simply has direct access to the PCI device. In either case the device is a controlled surface, and VPC software defined networking deals with verifying and encapsulating network traffic.

One of the reasons I think we've seen this over and over is due to lack of alternatives to monitor homes in a non-invasive way. Hosts naturally care about their apartments when they rent out. And hiding a camera is, judging from many comments here and Airbnb, not the right way.

But yes, you're right. I'm definitely pumping our own product :)

It wasn't clear to me from the article whether the woman who complained was also the one in the relationship:

"Google reportedly launched an internal investigation into Rubin’s relationship with a subordinate after _a woman_ complained to Human Resources. The woman who filed a complaint to HR is said to have worked on the Android team, which Rubin ran. There are no details in the report on the nature of the woman’s relationship with Rubin. "

Java has been multi-paradigm since the beginning, although it favours a stateful style for sure.

FP is by no means restricted to purely functional languages. My impression is that the ideal approach is to use the paradigm most suitable for the problem/component at hand (principle of least expressivity), so I prefer multi-paradigm languages over pure ones, although of course I understand that there are domains where one can benefit from the optimizations made possible by purity.

Understanding how to do this requires much more of a learning effort, learning more concepts, techniques and idioms, which I suspect is why FP is still lagging; I don't believe it is for any fundamental reason.

The other thing is that there are many more programming paradigms than just functional and stateful.
For passing strings between a contract you can return the string as Bytes32 and let the remote contract query a function to access that.

I never claimed it was the fault of the language. It's the fault of advocates pushing it as a viable first language. My point on premature optimization was precisely because of that: optimization should not be a concern for raw beginners, and C programmers as a culture value optimization in all things, even to the point of error (fast code is not necessarily secure code).
Genius. Adding a bidding/auction process would be nice too.
I was at a University that paid for some tracking software we self-hosted. It showed a highlighted webpage showing gradients over the most common places they scrolled too.

Adblock lists are community maintained, so whether this stuff is blocked depends a lot on people who actually enjoy having their network debug panel open.

Facebook's tracking pixel their e-commerce affiliates use is insane. It sends most mouse movements and they use it to determine what words users hover their mouse over! Their AI/marketing engine is pretty advanced, to the point where their predictive analysis is accurate enough people swear Facebook/Instragram are sending microphone data.

Sure they cannot track you across tabs and browsers ... directly. But they do. If 30% of the pages you visit have some kind of Adobe Omniture or Facebook pixel, they do in fact gleam a ton of data about you. This AI is so powerful it can predict products you want, potentially before you even verbally announce them. That's incredibly powerful predictive analysis ... used to cure cance---oh no wait. It's not. It's just used to sell you shit. What a waste of tech honestly.

I know a lot of people here use uBlock Origin since there are concerns with Ghostery/AdBlock/etc either allowing in certain ads for a price or selling some of your data to be viable. The only real solution for tech people is to run a Javascript blocker like NoScript, and explicitly white listing what you want to run .. which is honestly a ton-o-work.
Yes. Government guidelines are bogus. The article actually scares me a little bit, that people think the gov't should be deciding what the individual should do. That is not America and I hope it never is.
> That’s because I tend to think that when a service is for profit rather than for the public’s benefit, all sorts of perverse incentives arise. If schools operated for profit, with education subsidized by vouchers, the companies running the schools would have an interest in spending as little as possible actually educating the students, because every dollar they could save would be a dollar they could keep. That strikes me as dangerous, and I can’t help but think that it will lead inexorably in the direction of giving children iPads rather than teachers.

The trouble with a public system is that all sorts of perverse incentives arise. Civil servants' unions have an interest in maximising benefits to their members, and in the U.S. they spend their dues (taken, ultimately, from the taxpayer) to lobby politicians to increase their members' benefits (taken, ultimately, from the taxpayer). A public system mandates that everyone contribute, regardless of his or her beliefs: in Tennessee an atheist might be forced to spend on a school which teaches creationism, while in San Francisco a theist might be forced to spend on a school which teaches that there is no God.

There would be similar problems with a 'public food option.' The author notes 'I could give you a dozen people who could run a nutritious, delicious, and decidedly non-dreary nonprofit diner given a sufficient budget': what would prevent those dozen people from each building their own little empires on the taxpayers' dime? Who is to determine what is a sufficient but not exorbitant level of non-dreariness? Is it okay for the Free American Diner to serve meat? Non-kosher food?

None of this is to say that private firms don't also have perverse incentives: he's right, they do. But I think that the answer is generally to try to fix that (e.g. by regulation) rather than to go public. At least with competing firms one might have a choice: with a public option, only the very wealthy can opt out.

As somebody who ran a (now defunct) journalism startup and is still heavily involved in crowd-sourced muck-raking: I think this is exactly the wrong approach to massively collaborative journalism.

The thing we need _less_ of is "news". The thing we need more of is investigation. Even before the digital age, "news" was a way to sell paper with a mark-up. Now it's a way to sell eyeballs to advertisers. The fact that the fourth estate emerged was just a lucky byproduct of the "news" industry, even though it is the foundation of the modern respect for the role that journalism plays in society.

When it comes to massively collaborative investigation, the key thing is _process_, not product. Even though it has been tried unsuccessfully or semi-successfully many times (ex, old school WikiLeaks, OpenWatch, WikiNews, MuckRock), I still think that this is absolutely the problem that should be focused on.

The product of this investigation shouldn't be an article with mass market appeal, but really high-quality information that is useful for decision makers in relevant fields.

I think in terms of what is needed of tools to be developed and used, the keys are: transparency, data science, and communications process. Various initiatives have been successfully cobbled together using Google Docs, Facebook and Slack, but these are usually projects with finite scope and a handful of participants. Nothing has ever come close to the kind of impact and reach that Wikipedia has had.

I currently run the service https://pubmail.io as a tool for investigators and reporters to be more transparent in their email correspondence. Additional tools I'd like to see are tools for aggregating, combining and slicing relevant datasets for interesting patterns, and a central hub for mission-driven investigative collaboration. This is what my startup made, but it turns out that this is not a very capital-friendly or profit-friendly idea, so I think it would require a patron like Jimbo to really make this happen in a scalable, impactful way.

Still, I wsh this endeavor all the best of luck and hope that it pushes the needle in the right direction.
"snapchat isn't a photography app"

you literally take photos and send it to people
rr works fine on multithreaded (and multiprocess) applications. It does emulate a single core machine though, so depending on your workload and how much parallelism your application actually has it might be painful.
>>but you can clearly get pretty far without having that sort of mastery over a particular language.

Completely agree. If this weren't true, the fizzbuzz test wouldn't exist.

The 90s were filled with businessmen creating Access databases that wouldn't scale, and Visual Basic's drag-and-drop capabilities created a cottage industry for controls consumed by non-programmers.

That's both good and bad. Bad for the obvious reasons (lots of crap software) but good in that for the most part people were able to build what they needed to solve problems and move on.
The main feature is not "taking photos", it's "capturing memories for quick sharing". The additional time it takes to focus/take the photo (which, judging by certain built in camera apps, could be seconds) makes or breaks the in the moment feel.

In the end, these photos are meant to be looked at for max 10s with stickers/drawings/text superimposed. You don't need a high quality shot for that.
ok, thanks for clarification.

I think your distinction between left and right is a bit dishonest. Left is mostly concerned with social inequality, while right is not.

Of course, you can't start talking about inequality if you believe that values that people assign to things (preferences, but I think a good case can be made that preferences do not exist) are completely subjective. And alas, they are not.
I imagine this author has never been to a soup kitchen. One experience with your typical soup kitchen should cure anyone of the notion that this is a good idea.

The food is appalling. The service is terrible. If your stuff gets stolen while you eat because they insisted you leave it elsewhere, not their problem. They assume they know what is best for you, never mind they have no idea what your diagnosis is and no idea about the doctor ordered dietary restrictions that go with it. So the assumption is both flat out wrong and monstrously insulting.

I would literally rather fast for a day or so than ever go back to a soup kitchen. That is not hyperbole. I have made that exact choice on a number of occasions while dirt poor.

Do you not understand the power imbalance between an employee and an executive? How can a subordinate consent if their job is potentially on the line? This exists to protect people from being threatened into going into a relationship against their will.

Every time a power imbalance exists there is always a chance it will be exploited and people must be protected from this.
++ Have it focused primarily on creating quality communication/collaboration in clustered social webs, organized between in common skills, occupations, hobbies, social morals and ideas.

++ These clusters control their own data and at random are introduced to different clusters.

++ Growing your network too quickly should be limited. It becomes way too much of a numbers game when that happens.

++ Sometimes inflection means more than the words used, so communication breakdowns and misunderstanding due to individual writing styles and the inability to express more accurately what users mean. To bring clarity and meaning to messages there should be styles to text and an overall agreement to an overarching communication styling for things like sarcasm and moods, etc.
A lot of things have been "historically OK" (at Google and elsewhere), but are no longer acceptable in today's society. It is called progress.

No more good reasons than historically. The media is to blame for much of the hysteria around what we should be doing as parents. I would've gone out of my mind as a kid if I was raised the way parents are expected to inject themselves into every facet of their kids lives. I need my space, even when I'm in a relationship I don't want anyone injecting themselves in my space. Not my parents, not my partner, not my kids, nobody. If you never make your kids deal with being unsupervised and alone for periods, they will never be able to be alone, which will make them dependent on spouses and partners constantly for their emotional well-being. That is unhealthy for themselves and their partners.

Obviously we can't know the consequences of society's overbearing and overzealous parenting "rules" until our kids become adults, but mark my words, they will come back to bite our kids in the asses if we don't give our kids room to breathe.
We trust the website we give our information to. It is https-based (else my browser will tell me) and probably using an ORM that will 99% of the time hash my password. But the javascript layer...

Sorry, call me paranoiac, but i will never trust the javascript of a website. With no webdev experience, i was able to inject js (almost by mistake) three years ago. Moreover, is the js communicating with the backend using https too? How can i check that? Are those js library on the website server, or are they hosted by a third party? I can trust them, but how do i know that no attacker was able to modify those scripts?
Yes, those risks are small, but i'd rather have ublock making those risks closer tho 0 than not, am i wrong?

I've switched all my new embedded projects to MicroPython, and I've found it far superior to Arduino for managing complexity in your software. No more loop() function that gets totally out of hand! Having an OS underneath with support for real concurrency constructs (like fibers) makes a huge difference, and Python is a pleasure to work with. Huge props to everybody involved in making this happen!
This was a great read. Thanks for sharing it. Levine is a super talented writer.
I personally doubt it is much of a problem. However, that doesn't mean I personally think nobody should try it. Will be interesting to see if any results follow.

To your point, though, I suspect better async processing would be of much greater benefit.
A case could be made against the property owner for fraud. They said they complied with AirBnB rules, and they sold you something based on that statement, but they were not in compliance. Sounds like fraud to me.

Like others have said, it is something that was extremely apparent to anyone around 10+ years ago that made use of computers. Back then, a computer was simply 2x as fast every 18 months. If you had a game that ran at 30fps, and you bought a new computer 18 months later, it would run at 60fps. Likewise, a new game would run at half speed on a computer that was 18 months old.

While there are limits, the scaling largely held up over time. A game that ran at 15 fps (60 fps wasn't really a thing back then, usually you hit 15-30 fps) would be 32x faster 7.5 years later. Ditto with most software.

The vast majority of speedup, from a processing standpoint, these days is all from increased parallelism (via more cores, or more SIMD-like instructions in the core), and because of Amdahl's "law", it can be very difficult to see benefits from increased parallelism.

We're still seeing Moore's law for drive space, RAM, and somewhat bus speeds, and that's also where you get a lot more speedup.
'My issue is that I feel that Airbnb reviews aren't trustworthy...'

The problem with Airbnb reviews is that you are being reviewed too - so, although you can technically leave a bad review there is a social pressure not to.

I have also learned to be wary of places with a high number of reviews relative to others in the same area.
In my opinion, and assuming the author is talking about learning C as first language, my answer is that it depends. It depends on what you're trying to do with what you're learning, and what you will do after.

Basically, if you're studying to be an electronics engineer, I say that C is a good first language to learn the constraints of electronic devices. But if you're studying to be a mechanical engineer, I guess you want to learn programming to solve "data" problems (equations, graphical plots, etc). For the latter ones, something like Python with packages like numpy, matplotlib, etc., is probably more adequate.

In a nutshell, I think of learning C first as the bottom-up approach, and learning something like Python the top-down approach. Choosing one or another depends on how down or up you want to go..

> I went to a public school. I enjoyed myself there. I believe it taught me some things.

My mom switched me from public to private school in elementary school. Without a doubt the quality of the private schools' facilities, teachers, staff, and education were much better then the public school. I ended being held back in the 3rd grade simply because I was so far behind my other classmates in terms of knowledge that was not stressed at the public school. Yes, private school can be expensive, but if you have the resources and can find a good school with a track record of success, I highly recommend enrolling your kids in a private school.
