I rather like AirPods, but ymmv if they fit your ears.
It seems to be pretty close now, but it is hard to compare due to different philosophy. For instance Java gives you no control re Heap vs Stack, but their runtime is very clever with escape analysis and can clean some of that up for you.

.NET is not as clever with the escape analysis (the new .NET core stuff is better) but the programmer is given some control of it, and you get net better performance if you do that well, than you do with clever escape analysis.

benchmarkgame results are very close between the two languages with the latest updates to C# implementations and running on the latest .net core 2.0
Basically, it's when your distribution that your classes come from change between training and test.

For example, if after training your classifier to distinguish between cats and dogs, all of a sudden society decides that all white haired dogs are now called cats, your classifier is clearly going to get "poor" performance.
By far the largest cost for a taxi is not the car. It is the driver. Self driving gets rid of that.

It doesn't matter if the cars cost 100K, the driver wages still are larger than the capital costs.
I'm hoping to get feedback on Epic in the next few months, as we lose a long-term client that's being purchased by a LARGE medical group running Epic. Our client has been on eClinicalWorks for something like 10 years at this point, so I think there's going to be some whiplash of change in about 6 weeks.

I'll probably be keeping at least somewhat in touch with them, so in a couple months perhaps I'll have some basis for comparison.
I agree that the proposed solution is not the best. If you can fix your problem without dirtying the working tree (i.e. by simply moving changesets around), that's almost always a nicer way to do it.
Abstracting is not about names
I thought the exact same thing...or rather, why have one anywhere at all?

I think it's more that if I spend $200 on headphones that proclaim to be good for fitness, I expect them to sound great as well and in general be worth the $200.
>Of the big coins, not the hundreds of random ones with "To The Moon" Reddit comments.

In terms of personal experience, I've not seen anything as explicit as this article. And nothing with a giant market cap coin. More like a gray area between pump and dump and a bunch of over enthusiastic marketers.

Like I'll be reading a forum and notice a ton of people hyping up a small market cap coin. Check their post histories and they are generally new or they've only talked about the coin. Eventually find the slack/discord for the coin, people are posting links to forums/threads/mentions of the coin in the discord, and people are organizing shifts to give support. The comments are all purportedly coming from a genuine place (and to an extend they may be) but they were posted as if they were just random people stumbling across this discussion -- not an organized group explicitly trying to spread the good word.
Why? Backtesting is already an idiotic way to write a trading bot and by only using data between August and November you basically get a completely wrong, over-optimized algorithm.
LTC seems like a bubble.
That's not necessarily true, assuming you believe the value of what you're mining will at some point in the future be worth more than it is now. I mined some Ethereum earlier in the year, and was making around $6 AUD a day.

I stopped as I was unhappy with the effects of proof of work on electricity supply and the wear on my GPU, but the amount I mined at current market price is worth around 3x that, making it quite a bit more profitable.

Of course, if you believe the value will increase at some future point you're most likely better off just buying the coin and hodling it :)
True. Inconsistent and unintuitive options, oddly named commands (and this is coming from someone who enjoys using Unix clones).
I took a lovely stroll across the farm last night. Completely cloudy so no stars, just a very faint glow. It was even nicer because my idiot dog is finally listening to me when I tell her not to menace the cattle. (I think one of the cows may have administered a little well-deserved spanking recently.)
> SQLite would like to disagree with you... ...Over 100 separate source files

Um, how does this disagree?
Perhaps WebAssembly will help with this, we could make a standard library in WebAssembly which is highly performant, and can be called from regular Javascript code.
You need an exponential increase in performance (power of N) to simulate an increasing number of molecules, while for quantum computers you may need only a polynomial increase in performance (power of 2).

So it's possible to simulate 25-qubit-level chemistry with a laptop, 50-qubit-level chemistry with a supercomputer, and 100-qubit-level simulation with a supercomputer is impossible and will be impossible for a very long time.

But going from a 50-qubit quantum computer to a 100-qubit one may take just 2 years (or 4, it doesn't really matter), and then another 2 years to get to 200 qubits, and so on. Quantum computers will solve chemistry problems in minutes that would otherwise have taken 100 years to simulate.

Back in the dot-com days there was a fish processing company called Zapata that decided to become an Internet portal. As their stock soared, Zapata tried to buy Excite.com for $1.6 billion in stock but didn't succeed.

Zapata finally pulled the plug in January 2001:

"The news of Zap's demise marks the end of an era. The Internet business was so heady back in 1998, when the portal-wanna-be first came on the scene, that people scoffed only slightly at the news that an animal by-products company was taking on Yahoo! in the battle for those formerly coveted viewers."

https://www.forbes.com/2001/01/09/0109zapata.html#70a49b773a...

We're probably nearing the point where the Zapatas of this crypto-token boom start using their inflated valuations to try to acquire more traditional tech companies.
Why do you think using ticket system for non-programming tasks is a problem?
Just as an FYI, those will likely live in Github forever. Run `git ls-remote` where ever you have had this problem. You'll see that there are refs for every PR in the form `refs/pull/NNNN/head` and `refs/pull/NNNN/merge`; where `NNNN` is the PR number, `head` is the latest commit and `merge` is the final commit.

If any of those commits with confidential information is reachable from any of those commits, then they'll never be garbage collected from Github.
I‘ve tried Travis once, but the build didn‘t work and I just had no idea how to debug it. Also, the build environment I wanted wasn‘t available, so I really want to go with something that allows me to use my own machines for building/testing.
A small business usually does not have insurance for this, and the cost of making it right comes out of the owner's pocket.

Also while I can't speak to why other people don't tip, the reasons why I (very occasionally) don't are usually under the server's control. Even if the immediate cause of my unhappiness was not under their control, they had the option of acknowledging the problem and offering an apology. It takes a lot to lose my tip.
Tell that to the project I migrated from scrapy to go six months back. Granted, scrapy might be doing other "fun" things to eat into performance, but it was really night and day. Immediately went from CPU bottleneck to network.

Deregulation often leads to more regulation. By allowing a whole class of actions to happen, you will find exceptions will start popping up and laws will be written to patch market failings.

If you allow X, you will find overtime it will turn into 100 different 'Allow X but' rules.

Example, Cable companies can now charge more for Netflix, then netflix lobbies and gets a new regulation 'Can charge more for traffic Except by accredited content providers'.

On and on exceptions will be lobbied and won and eventually you end up with more regulations and a larger government administering those regulations.

Net neutrality is a far more efficient regulation.
When would switching cars at speed be desirable? Isn't the whole point of cars as opposed to public transit that they take you exactly from and to the places you want to be?
The cycles are 12 Hz, which is only ~80 ms between pulses. So 40 ms is exactly out of phase.
Sleep allows the brain to catch up on the day's events. That is, it buffers certain things to be processed in full later. Disrupt that process - e.g., not enough sleep, alcohol (as a REM sleep disruptor) - and memory will go sideways.

I'd be interested in knowing how many of the prescription drugs common among older adults have REM disruption as a side-effect. I wonder if that's even tested for. Perhaps we're managing one set of ills only to create another?

Pump'n'Dump of that sort for small coins has been going on since literally the beginning of altcoins. I'm not in the altcoin arena now, but I assume it's the same as it was.

Really, there wasn't much different between that era and the yahoo penny stock boards of the late 90s.

Learning to detect and filter that noise is a crucial skill if you're gonna trade those things.
There have been many times, in 30 years, where I've been glad I've got swap enabled so I can recover a nearly-out-of-control production system in time, with the right procedures, instead of everything just being killed.

Thats enough for me to turn it on. But, also, gigs of RAM is another must-do cargo-cult thing...
IIRC, Plex have published their fork of ffmpeg. But as a zip file, and the URL is somewhere on their forums. Following the rules to the letter, but definitely not in spirit.
Fascinating indeed. That's not very different from the timing of common music. Could it be that our appreciation of music is somehow related to the way our brains work?
You're probably right - the folks in this group think they're running the scam, but they're mostly (unsympathetic) victims of it. Safe bet the admin's purchasing the coin before sending the "pump FooCoin!" message, and dumping it before sending the "make it crash now" one.
All cryptocurrencies are a bubble.

Technology is still not there yet. There's no scaling solution anywhere in sight.

These valuations are for a product that does not exist.

If scaling miraculously comes then the price might hold, otherwise the transaction fees will grow up to a point that most small investors won't be able to make that 2nd layer entry transaction and will be stuck on the expensive 1st layer.

The price will then crash.
You're probably too young to remember, but back in the bad old days, we'd write stuff by hand. It didn't feel laborious because it was all we knew. We'd copy name, address, license number and expiration date, and eyeball that the person in front of us looked close enough to the picture.
I feel like someone should send you a thank-you note or something. Fortunately I can't see my neighbors' floodlights from my house, but they certainly impinge on the darkness whenever I go for a walk. Rural security lights are a plague.
It might be interesting to some to know that relatively recently (2016) PEP 523 ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/ ) was created which provides a more efficient alternative to PyEval_SetTrace or PyEval_SetProfile for some use cases.

The idea of this PEP is to add frame evaluation into cPython. As the PEP says "For instance, it would not be difficult to implement a tracing or profiling function at the call level with this API"

Elizaveta Shashkova (a PyCharm developer at JetBrains) gave a really good talk on the subject at this years PyCon ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdObDUbLjdg ).
Sorry, I think I broke it because I didn't understand it. I was really curious to see what angular-cli came in with in your tool, because my feeling is that it's very costly in terms of dependencies. The result never came back.. stuck at "Calculating File Sizes" was I not supposed to look at such types of packages?
That’s not fair. That’s fear, uncertainty, doubt. Those people pulling that shared branch will see a big honking warning message, which can easily be resolved if you communicate what’s happening and why you rebased the upstream.

When you say, it’s not safe, it sounds like you could lose work or someone could be hurt, when it’s more likely that the removed ancestors could be merged back in by someone not using ‘git pull —rebase’, or other devs being put out by having to resolve some conflicts. It’s not great, but it’s a far cry from unsafe or DANGEROUS! MUST AVOID! PUBLIC SHAMING!
Having watched nearly every talk/interview of Kay I could find on YouTube (which includes the OOPSLA keynote) and having read some of his writings I think I have a reasonably good understanding of what he is advocating for.

Here is Kay talking about Internet's resilience in a bit more detail:

https://youtu.be/NdSD07U5uBs?t=1472

>His position is strongly aligned with the "mechanism, not policy" philosophy.

I don't see how this opposes or contradicts any of what I wrote above.
And employers could also arrange to pay employees more frequently. And employers could hand out checks “in full view of everyone”. Nothing requires tipping.
The administrators of popular mastodon instances share "block lists" manually. That's the level of coordination.

BitTorrent presents a plausible (but not complete) replacement. Most torrents nowadays are disseminated through the DHT. User clients can query the DHT to search for specific content, which is then downloaded via its content hash through trackers. Many websites are also available which provide indexes and other features (comments, virus scans, ratings, etc.) on top of this DHT database.

It would be a technical stretch to expand this to replace Google, but if you did you'd have many competing "search engines" built upon an open decentralized database.

I don't think I've expressed this idea well, but you should get the gist.
This is by an internal employee at iovation who is more or less solely reposniboe for doing DB updates and schema migrations. Amazing feat that.
I've found one way past it: kubespray

I spent the morning listening to presentations from Kubecon last week, and a guy mentioned it in passing in one of the presentations. Went and looked at it and it's an Ansible playbook for deploying Kubernetes clusters. Respun my test nodes with a bare install and ran kubespray and I was up and running with Calico networking all set up, I'm able to get to the test pod I set up from anywhere.

So pro tip: Kubespray, especially if you are familiar with ansible!
I wrote Surf (https://github.com/surf-build/surf) for exactly this purpose, it's very much inspired by Buildbot
Republicans have made it an art form to get their base to support things that are bad for them. Just look at the new tax bill, reduction of social services. The list is extensive.

As long as they feed the agenda in their base's minds that voting for Republicans is voting for people like that who are against (or hate) the "other" folks then there's not much Republicans can't do to satisfy their real benefactors - rich folks and corporations.

And developers vastly overestimate how much users really want bland websites like we had 10+ years ago.

Sure, _we_ like it because it can be great for "power users" like _us_, but 99% of the population aren't power users.

It reminds me of devs wondering why many people prefer bloated, slow GUIs to CLIs.
I'd say it's exactly because the US is not an authoritative regime that the same rules should apply for both random nobodies and the President.
Unfortunately ignorant people have been known to conduct exercises in futility.
Heh heh. I worked for a company that rebranded itself as "b2b" back when that was the buzzword. We didn't get a 24x pop, but I was amazed at the extent to which our little company was suddenly worth so much more even though our product and operations remained exactly the same.
I wish Plex would focus a little. They're simply not big enough to be doing the number of things they're doing and do them well. I'm currently using Plex as a DVR service for my cable TV and it mostly works, except sometimes it doesn't and it's all but impossible to work out why.

It's all the more infuriating because so much of what they do is based on open source stuff (the original version was based on XBMC, though I think little of that is left now), but they don't open source anything themselves. I'd love to take a dig through the code to maybe fix these issues myself but I can't.

There is a rival service, Emby, which is open source:

Last I looked their frontend apps were lacking (and that's not an area I can help in, sadly) but it might be time to take another look.

>"Preventing technological progress" -- so because of M$ shenanigangs perhaps rich kids got their toys a year or two later? (Big perhaps.) Still think the world as a whole was better off with Bill Gates in it.

Wow on Wish. This is one massive company that I have never heard of. I am not sure what existing billion dollar company was based on exploiting reciprocal international mail delivery, but clever never the less.

Oscar has done nothing but lose masses of money propped up by investors, but we might actually have one. They don't appear to be doing anything different to the other insurance company, although the other insurance companies do make shiploads of money which I guess is a point of difference.
The beginner wants to disable optimizations, so he can better understand the kernel behavior by stepping through it in a debugger; he's told this isn't possible. Compare this with the availability of checked builds of Windows components, which support debugging by disabling optimizations: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/de...
I figured as much. So whoever develops a 50-qubit quantum computer first (Google?) will have to prove that the same simulation can't be done with a supercomputer. And they'd need to be serious about it and use the latest research in classical simulation, including IBM's 56-qubit research to try and do it on a supercomputer.

Otherwise, they may claim "quantum supremacy" and 3 months later someone else will prove that the same simulation can be done on a classical computer.
Which Git GUI are you using?

The GUI is said to be a major leap forward in human conputer usage, in the context the CLI just strikes me as either (elitist?) jargon, or brogrammer bravado. In either case, not really a step forward but certain macho. I still don't get it.
Python is a good career move. Ruby is more fun. There's no right answer :)

I program in Ruby right now for work but am comfortable switching to Python. There are plenty of Ruby positions available, we've hired 5 or so Junior Engineers out of Rails/JavaScript bootcamps. It's just that Python has the data science and machine learning positions in addition to web development.
Not that I disagree with your sentiment, but you're only able to do this because this class of service providers can't effectively challenge your decision to withhold payment. If the damage is debatable (or pre-existing), the valet isn't going to sue you for his $10 tip.

Compare it to the business world, where if you ship a pallet of widgets and a few of them get damaged, you can't just tell UPS "you broke my shit, I'm not paying you." No, they delivered your shit, however subpar, so they expect payment for the trouble. If you keep withholding based on principle you'll find yourself blacklisted and have your account sent to collections.
Not "regulation" in this case, but actual state owned enterprises?
I’m a big fan of Gitkraken. Great for doing common actions in one click, and graphically viewing history. It’s crazy how negatively people judge me for using it though. It’s like telling someone I prefer Microsoft Word as my IDE.

Sure, Twitter is currently a private company. However, it's also a major forum used in the expression of speech in our country. At what point is a public website considered a public forum?

If we have a constitutional right to free speech, and the majority of Americans use a certain website for speech, why shouldn't their constitutional rights extend onto that site?
Larger size fonts? Republicans are already immunized against public opinion - they know their base will vote for them regardless.

It's gonna take a every non-right wing Republican voter to bond together and start voting for the candidate running against the Republican regardless of how they feel about them.

Only by voting out Republicans in large numbers will they finally start paying attention to the public.

I think the liberal, progressive factions need to realize their best actions are to vote against Republicans and for whatever mainstream Democrats are running. Sorry they might not be the ideal candidate but when a party like Republicans are in power they immediately start changing the rules making it so much more difficult to get them out of office.
I'd consider that violence a necessary evil, not good. And certainly not to be glorified.
>You may have a mix of CMake, MSVC and language specific build tools like Cargo and others. By your logic I should be an expert in all of them.

Correct.

>Make's support outside of the posix world

The world outside of posix doesn't really matter.
I hope Twitter realizes that this kind of skewed enforcement will just amplify the current cultural struggles and strengthen the compartmentalization between the political left and right.

Notable organizations in the list that I noticed:

Anti-Defamation League - The group that decided pepe the frog was a hate symbol

Muslim Advocates, World Jewish Congress - This group doesn't irritate me so much, except there are no advocacy groups for Christians.

National Network to End Domestic Violence - Specifies that they focus on ending female domestic violence only.

Feminist Frequency - Given how few people identify as feminists, I'm surprised this one is here.

There are probably more sketchy ones that I don't know.

Scuttlebutt's founder lives on a boat. There's no need for charity. We're all “us”.

Yeah, actually engineering the bloody thing is always the tricky bit.

Yeah, actually designing the bloody thing is always the tricky bit.
It might not feelblike that big of a deal, but certainly there has got to be on any given day far more important things you can use those brain cycles for, yes? Low friction or not it's still friction. Friction that can be removed. Yet so many refuse to do so. There's something wrong with this this-is-how-we've-always-do-it picture.
