My experience is that the best talks have useless slidedecks. That's because the decks support the talk and do not provide a foundation for the talk. Less good talks often use the deck as a documentation platform; in that case decks become much more useful for reading offline. The exception is when decks are commented heavily for people reading it offline. But I don't see this happening often. Usually, comments are used for the speaker to have some information ready when needed during the talk.
Same here. I did not have to throw out furniture from Ikea yet, after having moved two times.
Which reminds of of this old programming joke:

While developing a CAD system we saved a lot of RAM compared to our competitor's product. They were storing each (X1,Y1)(X2,Y2) as four integers. We figured out how to the same thing in just 16-bits.

Yes, you guessed it (wait for it....) we could fit a edge in word-wise!

(Disclaimer: I didn't say it was a GOOD joke!)
"Please Stop Using Local Storage" is not helpful and will confuse people who are unfamiliar with browser storage. I'm guessing the author meant, "Please Stop Storing Application Data in the Browser Instead of a Server-Side Persistence Layer (DB)". Local Storage is a specific thing in the browser and is useful in specific cases.

I found a good comparison of all browser storage options on Quora:
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-session...

I believe all of the author's stated shortcomings of local storage apply to all browser storage options.

* String Only

* Synchronous

* No Web Worker Support

* Size Limits (smaller for cookies but all have limits)

* Any JavaScript code on the page has access (don't include scripts you don't trust)

Also, keep in mind...

* There is no guarantee the browser will encrypt the content on disk. I believe chrome encrypts cookies, but I'm don't think others do. I don't believe local storage is encrypted at all. Session storage & session cookies should only be in memory. You shouldn't be storing PII in the browser anyway.

* These storage options can't be accessed by other domains as they conform to the same origin policy, but this is an important caveat: The "origin" of the script is the page it is executed in, not where it comes from. So, if you include <script src="http://somehacker.com/superLib.js"></script> it will execute in your origin and can access everything. Protect your users by only including scripts you know are safe.

I have a funny PowerPoint story.

I worked for hours putting together a presentation to the VPs and owners of the company.

To make it extra special I used background water marks from rainbow infrared scans of very hot equipment. With the transparency set to around 15%, each slide made a very appealing pastel presentation.

At the start of the presentation something went wrong because the software rev of the machine to present on was lower than the one I developed on.

All my water marks came out in full intensity. My presentation looked like an Andy Warhol psychedelic acid tripping fantasy.

My boss, on seeing the first slide, said roll with it, as he motioned with his hand, moving with a circular motion, because you know, time is money, and more importantly, the big bosses have no capacity for waiting on peons.

So side 1 wasn't so bad, but as each slide progressed, each infrared back ground became more and more intense. The CFO owner on each slide would grimace, reminding me of the kid in Home Alone, looking like he was pushed back in his chair by a stiff breeze.

The topic could be interesting to a processing engineering nerd, but under ordinary circumstances it would be lost on all but 2 others in the room. This presentation, however, is burned into the memory of everyone in the room. I am certain nobody remembers a thing I said, but they remember the trippy presentation by sTevo.

I read the post but I still don't understand: is it possible to define new commands using \def or \newcommand? At first I thought these are what the other meant by "macro", but later he says

But I can't use \def or \newcommend to define things that appear inside dollar signs either.

Yes, it was added only recently after Neovim showed the idea of terminal buffers to be feasible.

So it may not be available on $random_rhel6_server, but since the article described the scenario of a development server, I figured that package versions on there should be fairly recent.
> their profit margins would likely suffer as a consequence

They would certainly have to raise prices if they raised the quality, and then they lose their customers to competitors who are cheaper (and even worse quality - have you ever tried the cheap furniture from a hardware store?)

Furniture is a competitive market, and IKEA are very aggressive at undercutting their competition (they have directives to never let their competitors be cheaper) and they manage to sustain profits though their scale of operations (and some good engineering - IKEA have hollow tables filled with cardboard that's more durable than some competitors solid MDF stuff).

Basically people aren't willing to pay for quality. IKEAs trick is to be both cheap and have an acceptable level of design and quality.
TensorFlow Implementation of DC-TTS: yet another text-to-speech model
California allowed a grace period to obtain a license plate for a newly-purchased car, and taking into account the allowed time to file for a plate, and time to issue and mail it to the car's owner, this could stretch out to a few months.

However, California's laws are changing due to a case in which someone was hit and killed by a car that couldn't be identified for lack of plates. Beginning January 1, 2019, all cars sold in California will be required to have a license plate attached at time of sale (for new cars which don't yet have a permanent plate, dealers will be able to produce a temporary plate).

It actually follows from the 'centre of mass' explanation.
If you take the centre of mass as described of f + g you get the centre of mass of f plus the centre of mass of g.
One way to explain this is to just say the + can be moved out of the integral.

Alternatively, consider the centre of mass only over the horizontal axis.
Now say we only look at the 'contribution' of f + g at time t (ignoring the issues of that contribution being infinitesimal). That contribution is (f(x) + g(x)) * sin (theta) where theta is the angle of our point.
Clearly this equals f(x) * sin (theta) + g(x) * sin (theta).
These are the separate contributions of f(x) and g(x).
The same argument holds for the centre of mass over the vertical axis (replacing sin with cos).

If we were to make the alternative explanation formal, we get back to the + being able to move outside the integral.
Note that our decomposition into the horizontal and vertical part is an alternative way to de the fourier transform without complex numbers.
The vertical part here is essentially the imaginary part of the fourier transform.

The fear-mongering about public domain seems to drift further and further from reality. Is SQLite "impossible" to use globally? Its public domain dedication is even more terse than the unlicense. If it really does become a practical issue for Germans, maybe the real problem is the German legal system.
Don't do this. Contrary to popular belief, telnet is a protocol beyond simply opening a bidirectional pipe over a socket. There are negotiation steps and the like.

Just install telnet if you need it. It's not like Apple actually wrote these apps anyway. Install them trivially with brew, telnet, ftp, whatever old garbage you need.

Funny thing is I just BARELY needed to install telnet. Well, "needed." I wanted to relive some old BBS memories.
Huh? I'm not sure where you're getting at.
I'm not sure which point you are trying to address, but where did you get your data?

According to the data collected by the Washington Post [1], in each of the years since 2015, less than half of the victims (excluding 2018 the percentage varied between 49.9% and 46.3%) of fatal police shootings have been white.

There is some uncertainty because for some cases the race is unknown. That data also only deals with shootings, so it is possible that if you count all killings the data is different. Can you share your data source?

> Helios and Matheson, an analytics company which has a majority stake in MoviePass

This here is the juice: Big data. The more customers they have, the better - they have validated full names, birthdates, addresses and CC numbers (and most likely also ethnicity) linked with the data when they visited what movie and even if the customers repeatedly visited a movie.

MoviePass has, effectively, four distinct customers:

a) the moviegoers themselves, where MoviePass makes a profit on everyone watching less than 1 movie a month

b) the vast amount of adtech/big data/consumer analytics companies for which this data is a goldmine

c) the movie studios which can (as shown in the article) use MoviePass to promote movies

d) the cinemas which profit off the customers wanting to eat and drink

They have, of course, monetized a) and begun to discover how to monetize c) - it will be interesting if they find a way to monetize the data.

Objectively, what IBM did, in helping the nazis, and was collaborating with them, for many years into the war - even when the US was getting involved —, was much worse then what this guy was doing.

There’s also Porsche, Volkswagen (basically, Hitler’s own brand) and any other brands that were involved, and basically the catholic church was preaching in many EU countries for their sons to join the German army...
I've seen that kind of behaviour in the US (and that was 10 years ago already).

I've never seen it in Europe however, I just thought that's the way Americans enjoy a movie in a theater (a way that really turns me off, actually).

I think you have it backwards. It's the 'liberal ideology' as you put it that is conflating and rebranding the classic economic liberalism. I think it's fair to say Thatcher and Reagan were proponents of free markets and private ownership, which is at least a basic part of the reason they are considered some of the best examples of neoliberalism last century.
That is beyond silly. They used the fake tethers (USDT) to buy up bitcoins increasing the price. And you think that it is okay for them to pay their debts in the very currency they manipulated?

I believe that's their business model. When there's a market pullback and many want to go into USDT, they sell their USDT for $1.04 or so, and when there's a bull-run and people want out at USDT, they buy back around $0.96.

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, published a post on coins like Tether a few years ago:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/mastercoin-a-second-gen...

My understanding is that unless there's a "tether-run", where everyone wants to get out of Tether at once and the company behind Tether isn't well prepared for it, then that's when the coin may actually crash. Otherwise, it will self-stabilize by putting more Tether on the market, or taking Tether out of the market. So in a way, I guess it works a little like the Federal Reserve.

As for not having enough money to "back Tether", this is bad in the sense that they promised they would, and they're not showing proof that this is true. However, it's "only" as bad as any real-world bank that uses a fractional reserve banking scheme. So just like a fractional reserve banking entity would crash as soon as there is a major bank run, similarly Tether would crash if they don't actually have 1:1 USD:USDT backing.

So Tether is about as "shady" as any of the major US banks - and yes, I would agree that both are pretty damn shady. But this seems to be the status quo right now, so if you don't trust Tether, I surely hope you're not keeping your money in a bank either, because I think we're getting close to another financial bust, and we'll go through the same crap or worse that we went through in 2008 with the defrauding banks.
If you look deeper into the security issues of USB and it’s less surprising: beyond the risk of basic malware, the devices are usually hackable which makes really hard to be certain about anything. Cutting out whole classes of attack makes sense when you know you have highly-skilled, well-funded adversaries and the budget to simply write off the extra overhead. Remember that their threat model doesn’t end at “my dirty picture collection leaked” but “we lost a war” or “we have to ask Congress for 10e9+ dollars for repairs/replacements”.

This got a lot of attention a couple years ago:

I got my data from The Guardian [1]. Their data only covers 2015 and 2016 but appears to be more comprehensive for those years, listing 1146 killings in 2015 and 1093 killings in 2016, vs 995 and 963 in the Post data, perhaps simply because they list all killings rather than only shootings.

They list enough "white" victims that more than half were white even including victims of unknown race. But this is a minor point. It's very close to 50% in either source so perhaps we should simply say "half of all people killed by police are white".

Part of the Unix philosophy is that every program should be a filter, one that can take input from stdin and output to stdout, so that it can be used in conjunction with other programs (which may not have been written yet). If you wanted to add an optional feature to your program/script and didn't know what parts of it could be changed without breaking places where it was used, adding it as a non-default option allows you to do this seamlessly.
Europe has less of a philanthropic tradition than the United States.

For example, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates have both pledged to give away the vast majority of their fortunes. Jeff Bezos is now making plans for his philanthropy. This happens in Europe too, but is less common.

I was a solder monkey for a summer, and did a fair bit of soldering at university. I also have pretty marginal vision and can't even read out of my left eye without correction.

I found that with practice, you don't actually need magnification for SMT soldering. I can solder down to 0603 without magnification. I have also never used fine point irons, since I was taught how to solder SMT using a medium point. Trying to solder individual connections is a waste of time, use flux to direct the flow of solder, and desoldering braid to clean up the excess. Good lighting was my most important tool for good soldering.

On the occasions I did use magnification, I found the best tool was the big stand mounted magnifying glasses with a light ring. We had a really fancy one at university that gave you really good stereo vision using some magic.

I'm only asking if the snippet you posted is C# or something else, and noting that if it's C# I have learned something new about the language.

Except now that I look at it more specifically, it looks like a bound on the class's generic parameter rather than a condition on the interface implementation?

As in you're defining a SortedList class which implements ICollection and IEnumerable but requires T:IComparable, not defining a SortedList class which implements IEnumerable if T is IComparable.

And if that reading is correct, Java can do it just fine:

class SortedList<T extends Comparable<T>> implements Collection<T>, Iterable<T>

however it's got nothing to do with conditional conformance.
It's unlikely to become a practical issue IMO (not a lawyer) but the German legal system has simply no notion of dedicating something to public domain like in the US. From what I've heard in my computer law course in university, you can safely assume that the authors/copyright holders of software like SQLite3 will not pursue their rights and use the software. If they decide to go after you legally, then you have to comply.

So the "unlicense" or "public domain" license is basically not more than a weak promise that the author won't sue you over any usage which they can break at any moment. On a proper license, you'd be safe if you comply with the license.
Concealing your license plate or it not being easily visible. The same reason the darkened plate covers are often illegal and why putting it on the inside of your window is generally frowned upon.

It doesn't really matter if it is legal or not for them to do, I'm pretty sure they'll do it nevertheless. I had a cop pull me over for the light over my plate being out. The cop said he couldn't see my plates when he was right behind me... at night with his headlights turned off (He turned them off while driving behind me, turning them back on right before the lights started).

Right - the error is still present despite your mistake. I understand that I wrote a poor extension. I see what you are doing with the logs, but how do we know that all irrationals and reals are targeted by the log basis - and I think you mention it with regard to pi -- won't we end up with an infinite number of basis elements / factors? I don't want an infinite factorization for reals with a finite komogorolov complexity - there must be a way to get a basis that is finite for reals that have finite descriptions (yet infinite digits.) Because nomatter what, the reals that have infinite descriptions will only be provably factorized by AC, not actually factorized in a tangible sense. And those cases are less interesting to me because I want the utility more for practical investigation of number theory, not the 10th lemma in a non constructive proof.
Not so much that it ever existed, though I think the aspiration has been, but just the myth of the Universalism itself (i.e. city on a hill, the first republic).

I’m willing to criticize the US for its sins as much as anyone else, they are numerous, but as the most diverse society on the planet it is impressive how much reconciliation and almost no reprisals have occurred.
