Same required for postgres. It's disappointing that in 2017 we've not cottoned on to the importance of high precision timekeeping types in otherwise well-provisioned tools.
Something similar for Windows is https://www.manictime.com/ . It tracks all activities and you can classify them later. It's core is free and there are paid features like take Screenshots. But tbh, the free version is more than enough.
That micro port may only be for power.

Or perhaps a client port to allow a PC to talk to the board without a network connection.
Under gdpr, consent requires

* brevity
* clarity
* consent to be separate from other T&Cs
* default opt-out for everything
* each purpose for which processing will take place to be individually enumerated and consented
* granularity: the ability to opt-out (default) to each processing purpose

There's no ban on including a button that opts a user in to everything, but you would have to take care to make it very difficult to click by accident or I can possibly see a regulator permitting this. See eg discussion of "clear affirmative action" (A32).

And I think the eu will very specifically place the highest scrutiny on google and facebook, rather than the least.

edit: no doubt, some smart-asses are going to push their luck, but they'll get slapped down in short order (imo). The GDPR regulators will be looking to make an example of some companies.

Also, the stick here is the larger of 10m euro or 4% of global turnover.
I'm sorry if this sounds snarky but a lot of your criticisms of slack so far just don't seem rooted in anything resembling the recency of development within the platform.

https://slackhq.com/threaded-messaging-comes-to-slack-417ffb...

Threaded conversations have been supported for a full year now, you have the ability to specify and narrow your searches down to specific rooms by using "in:#general" or by conversation by using "in:@dave", but a plain search will search as best the application can public rooms, private rooms and private messages, and the application does a great job I think telling you exactly where the search results come from, when they happened along with a contextual view of the conversation that happened before and after the search results-giving you the precise context of what was talked about, and allow you to both jump back in time to the moment the keyword appears, and jump back to "Now" very easily.

https://slackhq.com/next-level-searching-in-slack-1ce56aa8ad...

Again, sorry if this sounds snarky, but I don't think your critiques are really lined up with how Slack has been developed in the last year. Many of your problems have been directly solved.
And if there's no documentation, write some! Another great way to learn, rubber duck it in writing.
you'd probably be correct :)

while i am hugely interested in space exploration and such, i find it a folly that we spend so much attention to going to Mars.. and going to spend billions (in the long term maybe even trillions) of dollars on it while our planet - a perfectly habitable home still - withers away by our doing.

imho we should get our priorities straight.. listening mr. Musk?
We get blasted with X greatest sports player of all time, or Y most important historical figure! None of those are really accurate, but are those people important and accomplished enough that they deserve someone lauding them so highly along with the footnote in history they receive? Whether or not they deserve the prestige they're receiving or sole credit for whatever accomplishment? I am not disputing whether or not the article's portrayal is entirely accurate.

I wonder what signals they actually route out the FMC card. The website doesn't give a lot of information, but it seems like probably just ChipLink which they claim is their serialized TileLink bus protocol. So, you probably wouldn't be able to just plug a low-cost FMC module into the board. But with something like https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/ek-s6-sp605-... for another $500, you could theoretically use the DVI connector to provide a framebuffer, the PCI connector to interface to an NVME drive, and the FPGA to implement the logic of a TileLink endpoint as well as a minimal framebuffer and PCIe root complex.

"The question is: why are they investing in technology that is in inevitable decline vs. investing in the technology that will inevitably win?"

It can be profitable to invest in declining technology. Mazda almost by definition thinks it's profitable to still invest in ICEs. They can also invest in other drivetrains at the same time. The company can raise more money (assuming they can persuade investors).

I think it's too much to ask to expect every little scientific niche, every subculture, to have to adapt their local personalized context-aware terminology to the global culture, just because a random person coming from outside the niche might be confused by their language. It's like demanding that no part of a public speech should be able to shine a poor light on the speaker when a substring of it is taken out of context. It's an unnecessarily harsh constraint.

Concise rebuttal to a statement that has bugged me for a long time. Thanks.
But scientists can become CEOs of multi-billion corporations. There are scientists that also sit in the lab and have a hard time communicating.

People with a political science degree become Presidents. There are political scientists that also sit at Walmart cash registers.

I am not saying that all scientist are eligible for public office. I am saying that if someone is a scientist running for the office, that should not be a limiting factor.
I don’t know about this case, but in general, yes, since as you said the concept covers everything from static shocks to a bolt of lightning. As always with electricity though, you can get profoundly lucky, or unlucky depending on a large number of factors.

A large VDG such as those in some science museums for example, could cook your noodle.

his model for contrastive divergent learning pre 2000 iirc was what really set the base for his breakthrough in the mid 2000. I think it took him sometime to make the jump from contrastive divergence learning to RBMs that learnt good priors for deeper layers...
You could easily do that for logged in users without using anything more than a session cookie to track that they are logged (which was allowed).

Tracking non-logged in users across multiple sessions is obviously not allowed without consent, but that is exactly the type of non-consensual privacy invasion that the law is intended to prevent.
The author was referring to Claude Lévi-Strauss, a french anthropologist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_L%C3%A9vi-Strauss.
In GitLab's case, a lot of their issues are just the classic self inflicted N+1 queries and poor planning of how to represent events in a way that could be quickly queried for display.

OTOH, the background job memory issues were completely not their fault. Glibc malloc trades high memory usage for keeping both high throughput and simplicity. With Sidekiq or puma this causes much higher memory usage than necessary. Switching to jemalloc, which they did, can reduce memory usage by 50-75%.

What does your app do that takes 5 seconds? Is this because hundreds of DB calls are required, or you need to serialize thousands of objects?
iMac Pro 18-core Follow Up Review
Browser market share in January 2018
While this was part of it, I think the main reason it existed was more for smaller developers who couldn't use/afford windows NT (at the time really really expensive) a win32 development environment before win95 came out so there'd be more software (of the shareware variety) for it when it came out.
Some of them are apparently just made up, or so distorted that they have no connection to reality.

For instance, it is not illegal to "view a moose from an airplane" in Alaska. I suspect this is a distortion of a law (which actually does exist) that makes it illegal to use an airplane to locate moose, then land and shoot them.

When your evidence says that something or another is harmful, and that something or another is a trillion dollar asset for someone else, that someone else is not going to be like, "ah well, I guess it was nice while it lasted". The "debate" only exists in domains where people stand to lose lots of money.
I'd like to point out that if it is truly large, then deep intimate knowledge of specific parts will never be truly had. Those who do know the entire project understand the flow and architecture of it but the details are blurred.
I dated a girl whose mother cleaned their house. They had wealth I'd never seen before. Their house was massive. Like the basement was larger than any home I'd ever been in.

I was told he was a hospital administrator. But actually he was just a drug pusher. Which makes so much more sense now looking back at the level of wealth.
Dissatisfaction with the status quo is precisely what keeps automatic translation companies in business, and indeed drives all innovation. The author explicitly gives credit to GT for being good enough for lots of people most of the time, but that does not excuse its fundamental failures.

GT Engineers don't want a pat on the back. They want to do better.
I can't quite tell if I agree with you; so I shall attach this opinion. Science is characterised by being able to strip everything out of it down to a procedure to gather data and some guesses at how future data will look.

Taking gravity as the classic example, in theory any person with any set of biases can put together a table with column A being mass and column B being distance to the ground and column C being time to fall the distance. From that, they could reconstruct Newton's Laws of Gravity if they measure everything carefully enough and are honest.

Maybe the theory they come up with is F = g m / r^2 and the mechanism is tiny goblins. Cool. They can call that science as long as the goblins will always follow the rules. But the rules of evidence are very important, we can't claim the goblins are going to do something differently sometimes if we haven't observed it in the data.

The data is the science. The formula and mechanisms are useful, but they are inevitably wrong in detail. Gravity isn't ever going to be the only effect measured in a data set, so no data set can ever perfectly confirm a theory correct, and certainly cannot confirm a mechanism.

We don't need to rely on the scientists getting the mechanisms right. But we do need science to have a very high standard of measurement. It would help if they hold themselves back from coming up with crazy theories, but I don't know what a crazy theory looks like so I'm not going to try and police that today.
I kind of think it is rocket science, since so many people have tried to write their own variant of it. We don't really do that for version control, IDEs, compilers, email clients, browsers, or the myriad other tools software developers use daily. Sure, some of us do, but most of us don't. But I think we've all taken a stab at time-tracking and task-tracking, even if that just means we're writing things on post-it notes or in a journal. I don't think we've discovered an approach that suits most developers and teams yet.

Did people try to go through an imaginary plane and felt a force? Or did people try to go through an actual cling film?

A corridor formed by the moving film?

I have a hard time understanding the situation.
No, that's not what I mean. Of course he like everyone else can have an opinion on anything they want to opine on.

What I'm saying is because of his background, that offers him imprimatur on things which he's not an expert but people will presume that because he's an expert elsewhere he's opinion in other areas are equally valid.
I did the worst case scenario exercise he gave, exactly as described. Then I went on a long walk, decided to leave law school and try business.

I still have the paper I used.

Briefly, the exercise was:

1. What's the worst case outcome of trying
2. What steps can you take to mitigate it?

In my own case, it was taking a year off law school, and using up some savings + possibly needing to get a job before starting law school again. Not a giant risk. (Not zero, either, but having it quantified really helped)

The other part of the exercise was measuring the worst case against potential gain. In my case, it was permanent, long run freedom. Which, I got! So, well worth the risk.
could this have application for VR?
Really?

Yes. Really.

The U.S. nuclear power program has been running for over 60 years without a single fatality to a member of the general public. That is a better safety record than any other method of power generation.

*Or am I missing something?

You're missing the fact that judging a technology by Soviet-era implementations of it is ridiculous.

Soviet airliners crashed a lot, too. That doesn't make airliners in general unsafe.
I am after the same thing, I use markdown + pandoc for myself but I think there is a real market for a simplified word processor like you're describing that can use complex templates. Think of like a business where they want people to use a standard format (font, heading, margins). It's all too easy to fuck those things up in word just by misclicking something when all you want to do is write and use a standard template.
Yeah, this seems like it already is, or will soon become, solidly evil. If Google decides to flag your site, all of a sudden you don't get ad revenue from anyone. An AdWords sales-drone can then contact you to explain how you can remove yourself from Google's "naughty" list, e.g. by giving them more inventory, or giving their competitors less.

Tech giants are the robber barons of our time
I read that article before and just reread it now - thanks for writing it up, but I still have the same question I did the first time around. You posit:

> Because we run 200 invocations or so in parallel we’ll only need to download the model once and save it there

From my own reading of the Lambda docs, it seems that a simultaneous request for the same Lambda may or may not spin up a new container, ie while serial requests within the 15 minute timeout will likely reuse the same instance with the same frozen/cached tmp data, parallel requests do not have that assumption.

Was this your finding in practice? If so, were your CloudWatch “keep warm” events a series of just 1 Lambda invocation ~10/15min apart of 200 simultaneous requests serially spaced to keep the instances spun up?
Heh, I read this 20 years ago when I wanted to try to make as much tech from Star Trek a reality as possible. Being 10 years old the closest thing I could get my hands on was a megaroll of plastic wrap from Costco that I basically pulled around some rollers as fast as I could. Suffice it to say it didn't quite cut it.

I had also tried to make a dermal regenerator after reading an article in PopSci about infrared radiation speeding up ulcer healing in cancer patients. Didn't have a good way to test it but I liked to think it worked. :)
That logic applies to every product ever made in the history of technology. Somehow their R&D departments did not need 7x24 data feeds.

Each society can decide whether to permit this particular product to collect unlimited data. The presumption is that the data belongs to no one. Let's see what happens when more than one large corporate entity lays competing claim to the same data subset, embedded by a wide-ranging data dragnet.
Capital generally being a measure of how people evaluate you, yes.

I don't think that taking out naked short positions on the cryptocurrency market, or a coin that's had 15,000% run-up over the last year, is anything that a publicly traded company, that isn't in finance, would do.

Rpi has really mutated what people expect out of EVKs.

What started as an "educational" board has pretty much turned into a turnkey cheap Linux board for a lot of people. So they expect that out of every board now.

I also wish Broadcom hadn't dumped these things under market price. That's another thing that has really messed up expectations.
I was just wondering about those stupid wiggly snakes yesterday, passing by laser labs in MIT's basement, and wondering how little sense that model made. Thank you for sharing this explanation.

TLDR for others: coherent = as if from point source.
The amount we spend on space flight is trivial in the grand scheme, and it involves the creation of very useful technologies for this world too.

The US government devotes 1/2 of 1% of its budget to NASA. And less than half of NASAs budget is for manned space exploration.

Out of that tiny budget they are building the SLS, which is a huge pork turkey that’s sucked up close to $20B in funding (including capsule) and is years away from launching anything.

Elon Musk is about to launch the first Falcon Heavy, which will cost less than $100M per flight, and carry basically the same amount of payload as the SLS ever will to orbit. He’s the good guy here, providing spaceflight with reusable launch vehicles that cost a fraction of any that came before.

A Falcon Heavy can put 30,000 lbs into Mars orbit. If VASIMR ever works, they could put an 140,000 lb VASIMR space vehicle in orbit and let it do the 90 day trips. All at a tiny fraction the cost of tye moon program.
This board isn't really intended to be a "raspberry pi for everyone" style release, its pretty much soley aimed at developers and companies that want to port their software to RISC-V so when the cheaper boards do arrive, they will have software to run on them.

Never said that merit was purely based on work.

I'm just saying the West doesn't have positions that are based on how close you are to the king, family connections, caste, or other mystical reasons.
