If you are only looking to embed charts in your blog you might be better off just using billboard.js directly https://naver.github.io/billboard.js/

That is what I used to create this project :-) Of course that only works if you have access to the source code / can embed your own code/dependencies somehow.

It is possible to embed visualizations using just-dashboard too, but you don't necessarily need to do that if you only need a pie chart on your blog or whatnot.

I think my project is more useful for quickly creating standalone shareable data oriented pages. Of course I don't want to discourage you from using my own project, I'm just suggesting an alternative. Nevertheless, improving embed-ability is a low-hanging fruit so I'll probably work in that.
It's as objective as a subjective measurement can get.

It's not repeatable, and I don't know what units of measure could be used either.

Diplomatic bags have, in various instances, been used to transport people. The bag can essentially be any sort of container. This was usually against their will, but Assange may find it agreeable.
> What's more interesting to me is using BitTorrent not for pirated movies but as a content distribution system enabling more free services like Wikipedia.

That should be much higher in Wikimedia's TODO list, IMHO. There is a browser extension called WikipediaP2P for chrome, but if I'm not mistaken the author is not affiliated with the Wikimedia foundation and it's only for chrome.

I donated money once to the foundation so now I receive emails from times to times, asking for more money. It nags me when I read the claim that they need money to pay for servers and yet they don't seem to make any effort to distribute Wikipedia in a P2P way.
Let's not leave corporations (particularly in the tech industry) out of this; they have a great deal of the same information.

Wow that's much to process. I'll think about my next steps.

Many thanks man!
I've been convinced by a knowledgeable person[1] that measurements are the only useful way to measure performance. To paraphrase poorly: subjective reviews are useless since they are limited by the reviewers subjective perception, their ability to turn that perception into words, and your ability to turn those words into a concrete idea about how something sounds. Since there is no part of a speaker's performance that cannot be precisely measured, the best course of action is to learn how each measurement affects your perception and what qualities you like in a speaker. Then you can fairly accurately evaluate if you would like a speaker with just a few graphs.

(Of course this is completely impractical for almost everyone, but I'm talking about some platonic ideal of audiophile)

Backup MX servers do this every day. One of the commonuses of differing MX priorities is to provide a backup MX server to accept mail on the behalf of your mail server if it is overloaded or unavailable. This has been used in the past to provide reliable mail transport to mail servers that are not always connected.

One downside has traditionally been that backup MX servers were generally much less stringent in their connection level spam filtering/blocking (since the downstream server is generally responsible for that, and they may be a backup server for multiple downstream servers), so it became common for spammers to send directly to lower priority mail servers to take advantage of this and bypass a lot of that active filtering at the eventual destination. Expect a lot of spam to queue up.

In your case, you actually would control the backup MX and the eventual destination (if it indeed is a separate SMTP server), so that's less of a problem. You could just put a pretty harsh timer on the queued mail, and throw it away after 24 or 48 hours. Then again, you could probably do all this almost identically by replacing the SMTP server run on the client device with an IMAP client, and just have delivery end at your server.
I use Dropbox. I haven't actually tried that case since I rarely change my database from my phone. That said, I have had conflicts between two computers, but KeePassXC's built-in merge tool have fixed those nicely.
Semiotic Theory of Charles Sanders Peirce
I can't read the article because the website is down. But I have something to say about torrenting movies.

Late last year, my old parents who don't speak English came to visit me for a couple of months in the US. I'm just a graduate student with a limited budget, and my mom is car sick so we couldn't go out every night. I didn't want them to waste time on Facebook after dinner until we went to bed, so I had to think of something to do. We would spend time watching classic movies together every night with the little projector I have. I would have to download the Vietnamese subtitles from subscene and play the pirated movies with VLC. Sometimes the timings were a bit off but VLC allowed me to fix it easily.

There was no streaming service offered at any price that allowed me to have native language subtitles with those movies. I'm very happy for the time we had together, it might have been the very last chance we had in our lives. I am very thankful because BitTorrent and VLC allowed me to do what would be otherwise impossible.

One suggestion - are you able to shift your hours to see your kids either before or after?

I’ve been able to arrange things and arrive at work a bit later, so I see my kids each morning and take them to school. Then I stay a bit later at work. It also means I don’t see them most weeknights, but I see them every morning (barring the rare unmovable meeting).

Some of my colleagues do opposite. But there are also parents that just don’t see their kids at all until the weekend.

The Definitive Setup Guide for AWS Athena Analytics
It is condescending (though as an applicant, my reaction is more of a sigh ok, then I waste 30 seconds) and a large portion of applicants aren't the right fit.

From my experience interviewing candidates, I find the most effective are multi-part questions where difficulty increases exponentially from step to step.

Someone who doesn't do well may only get past the first part (a less clear fizzbuzz) and feel great about it, maybe even learn something. A good person may move onto the much more challenging parts and hopefully teach you something along the way. It's a difficult balance, though I've got a few well-seasoned questions I like to use. Its always cool as an interviewer who has seen hundreds of answers to the question be shown a new and creative way of approaching it.
My understanding that vitamin deficiency can be bad, like for example follic acid - spina bifida, vit D - autism. Most people don't have the deficiency of course, yet how to prevent it when they do, and how to detect it?
I would have to agree with parent post though. There are always people who can talk they way through well but can't code. Its actually amazing to watch the real pros at this deflect all the tough questions. It is a great talent for something likes PR, sales or marketing but it might not be programming.
>I'm an EDM guy and demand a certain performance to 20hz, which homepod lacks.

I've checked a lot of dance music and never found anything with meaningful 20Hz content. It's extremely rare for "deep bass" to be lower than 40Hz. The only genre I can think of that often has very deep bass is pipe organ music.

EDIT: Movie soundtracks also commonly have <40Hz content for sound effects.

They do not understand that it's just protocol and service. It's useful while it's handy in solving problems. Waiting for articles about HTTP declining in favour of HTTPs and TCP over UDP.
The author tries to extract some quantitative information from his notes. There isn't really anything there though, otherwise than trivialities like "we don't learn as much as we think we do", with the pretty severe disclaimers that this is only one person, only one month, and taking notes is not the same as learning something.

It might have been more interesting to understand qualitatively what realizations he actually made and how his mindset progressed. But when you see the titles of his notes they are things like "true is a program that returns with a zero exit code". So not much there either.

This is a pretty thinly disguised ad for the author's note-taking software.

Transformify gets up to speed in Asia
I recently (yesterday) calculated[0] that Ethereum is roughly 64% of the GPU mining market by power. That's a lower bound - it's likely much higher, maybe 75+%. Hybrid POS/POW is expected in the fall and will likely come with a healthy drop in the block reward. Following that will be full POS (2019?) after which, at least on the main Ethereum chain, there will be no mining. I'd like to see the block reward dropped much sooner but that's a long shot request.

> the biggest contribution both languages have made for the future are their respective runtimes and that they allow new languages to adopt those (Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, F#...)

I'd say that's true of the JVM, where independently developed high-adoption languages Kotlin and Scala have flourished, but not so of the CLR, whose only "new" language of any import is F#, developed by Microsoft themselves and kept in step with C#.
I was hired by my current employer following a take-home coding challenge. I consider the experience very positive, and it has allowed us to hire skilled developers. However, I notice a few differences between my experience and those of people who complain about these challenges:

1. The challenge was timed, and limited to 3 hours. This is critical, because it respects the applicant's time.
2. Similarly, other interviewing was limited to a very brief "are you actually a developer at all" phone screen and a 30 minute personality interview.
3. I was allowed to choose the framework and language I was most comfortable with, demonstrating that the employer was interested in how well I worked, not in how well I knew the particular framework chosen for their product. I think it probably helped that I used the same stack advertised in the job description, but I appreciate the flexibility being there.

Interviewing is a separate skill from software development. A take-home challenge isn't necessarily going to tell you everything about a person, but it seems to sort candidates into high/medium/low skill levels with a higher degree of accuracy than a paper or whiteboard tech interview.

The mantra for startups is never give up, but I'm close to pushing it as far as I can go... I'm starting to get into risky territory.

The thing that holds me up though is all the stories we hear, like Travis Kalanick with Red Swoosh and Elon Musk with Tesla and SpaceX. Down to a few days of payroll and figured out a way to make it work...
That may be. But what I'm looking for is a quiet environment with high speed internet and dedicated work spaces. Most hotels are a poor match for one, if not both parts of that equation.

"Crashing on couches" or using Airbnb are both high-variance options - you don't have a guarantee of quality, quiet, or internet, let alone separate dedicated work spaces.

>>The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work.

We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible.

Shutdown of SUSE Studio on Feb 15, 2018
How is it not, even in the general use of the term? Instead of site username and site password plus a separate token to a previously agreed upon authenticated service (whether phone or email account), it's site username and site account email (hopefully hidden), and a token sent to a previously agreed upon authenticated service.

If your account name and associated email is known, it's not really better than a username and password (except that it's delegated to what should be one of your strongest accounts that you protect more diligently), but if the email is not generally known for that account name then it's extra identifying information that must also be known to access the service account.

Maybe sell your startup to some investor and keep some equity stake and then join your friend's company. This will help you recoup some of the hard work that you have done as well as have stake in its future growth.
The empirical evidence contradicts this theory. Transaction volumes doubled year over year until the block size limit was reached.

Apparently there is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound

"Stereophonic sound or, more commonly, stereo, is a method of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of multi-directional audible perspective. This is usually achieved by using two or more independent audio channels through a configuration of two or more loudspeakers (or stereo headphones) in such a way as to create the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing.[1]"

I'm inferring from that there are other methods to create an illusion of multi-directional audible perspective.
I had the same experience as you.

My hypothesis is that all the nonsense about kids needing 12 hours of sleep/"more than adults"/early bedtime is just that, started by parents who wanted some time to themselves at night and perpetuated through convention.

Our kids started sleeping, waking up and generally behaving better once we stopped enforcing arbitrary bedtimes.
EchoJS Goes Offline
I don't know what qualifies as novel for you but some use cases I've seen:

On the retail side: Using computer vision to deliver alerts about shelf condition.

For farming: Using computer vision + ML to devise and track health monitoring for crops.

For manufacturing: Predictive maintenance of equipment has been a very popular area of focus.

There have been countless use cases on the finance side of things. For instance, anomaly detection techniques help with reconciling accounts and detecting fraud.

The energy industry seems to never run out of use cases for tracking commodities and/or helping predict load.

In HR, predicting turnover and education demands are some of the early use cases being approached but I expect a lot more over time.

Logistics is another area that will have a seemingly endless supply of use case. Things like loss tracking, warehouse optimization, raw material allocation and sourcing. I don't think I've ever been involved in a logistics/manufacturing project that couldn't have used some ML to add efficiency to the process.
I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. I make a lot less than I once did, but not being a road warrior, being able to walk my kids to school each morning, being able to take them to their activities -- I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff. Good on you for being cognizant of the challenge of family vs. work and making some hard choices.

Why EME is great
Maybe I'm missing something or it's a personality trait, but I think if you're an expert, being asked to do a FizzBuzz isn't condescending: it's an opportunity to play in speedrun mode.

I deeply dislike the job interview culture and whiteboard trickery, but I'm also wary of people who see themselves above mundane requests. That's how you hire someone who leaves code undocumented ("who needs it? I can understand it perfectly"), adopts clever but inscrutable techniques, etc.
Yet we still struggle with making sure we've got all of the tools that could check the mistakes I have accidentally made before I had shipped the code.

I'm no audiophile, I do realize from reading speakers review in audiophile magazine that they tend to compare speakers in the same particular price range. The OP review seems to suggest that a dual HomePod stereo setup (about $700-800) could well compete with audiophile grade speakers in sub $1000 range. It is great feat by Apple if they can achieve it with their stereo release later this year. HomePod is "engineered" sound with its surrounding acoustic adjustment etc and I bet a large portion of audiophile prefers their gears to have a more faithful reproduction of source material. Anyway HomePod will not be the only gear for hardcore audiophile as they tend to have exotic source material equipment which HomePod can not accept. It is interesting to see in near future when dual HomePod can be used with AppleTV for movie viewing with simulated centre speaker and surround sound. I remembered Tim Cook said they finally cracked home TV few years back, maybe HomePod + AppleTV is the solution.

This is textbook piracy.
Sadly, the author cannot see beyond his zone of comfort which most people in the world din't share. Also, there are simple political problems with the status-quo that are good to point at: governments love a cashless society to be taxed (and controlled through use of private information) while they defend oligopolies like Visa and Mastercard.
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

I want to highlight this paragraph from the post:

> Here at Google Cloud, we want to provide customers with the best cloud for every ML workload and will offer a variety of high-performance CPUs (including Intel Skylake) and GPUs (including NVIDIA’s Tesla V100) alongside Cloud TPUs.

We fundamentally want Google Cloud to be the best place to do computing. That includes AI/ML and so you’ll see us both invest in our own hardware, as well as provide the latest CPUs, GPUs, and so on. Don’t take this announcement as “Google is going to start excluding GPUs”, but rather that we’re adding an option that we’ve found internally to be an excellent balance of time-to-trained-model and cost. We’re still happily buying GPUs to offer to our Cloud customers, and as I said elsewhere the V100 is a great chip. All of this competition in hardware is great for folks who want to see ML progress in the years to come.
