i wish i could give you 1 thousand points. isolated unit tests can have value in that the bugs they expose are more easily tracked down.

full-system testing, with an honest attempt to do fault injection, by definition exposes all the issues you might have in production. if you have a decent test suite you can honestly claim you can expect it to take client code correctly.

i don't know how thats true if you've only tested A against some stubbed out version of B that always returns success.

integrated testing is harder and requires more framework. its also kinda necessary, and if you only have the resources to do one or the other, the choice seems pretty clear.

i also heartily agree with your comment that since we're supposed to have frictionless and scalable deployment. there is no reason not to test this as part of integration testing and also exploit this function to make integration testing easier.
DVD menus are annoying enough when you're trying to watch a film, and they're supposed to be entertaining. Can you imagine if every website was like that?
That's pretty reasonable compared to the litigation costs.

For now, we only offer ARW in real data case mode (em_real). We will slowly enable other modes and WRF components if there is demand.

All runs go on Intel Xeon Platinum 8168. We currently restrict the execution to shared-memory mode while we fine-tune the scaling in distributed memory. If you try to submit a run too big (either for RAM or scalability), Cloudrun will not let you proceed.
They might want to add a page about not publishing their security guidelines for potential attackers to read and learn about potential gaps.

It's security through obscurity, sure. But if someone reads this and thinks there is indication of low-hanging fruit, they become a more tempting target.

On the other hand, by posting this, the organization will learn from the collective wisdom of anyone reading and providing comment (and perhaps any resulting other activity), so at least this has potential to provide improvement.

Get a wedding coordinator. That person's job is to listen to what the two of you want, and then to make it happen - over everyone else's opinions, if necessary. The wedding coordinator is the bad guy (no gender implied) to everyone else. If, for example, the bride's aunt wants to sit on the bride's parents' row, the wedding coordinator shuts that down, so you don't have to, so you don't have to fight with the bride's aunt.

Hey, me too.

Sadly of late, I've felt a nihilistic indifference grow inside me.

Trying to infulence people on how they should do things is socially amazingly straining. The outcome at best is usually that people agree with you, but admit that they do not have any real motivation to do things differently.

If the cause and effect could be observed at a closer distance it might make all the difference.
At the moment, I can't say much about the wave model that we will offer, other than that it will support both global and any custom regions, and it will not be WW3. NOAA already does as good job as you can get with WW3.
This is a really fantastic and interesting look at ML, for someone who’s just beginning first steps. Any recommendations on where else I can read about the areas DNNs and associated stuff (GANs, RL, etc) in terms of what they’ll likely not be capable of in the near mid term?
Then you’d better be able to prove you’re striking the right targets, and that the purpose of the attack you’re responding to isn’t to elicit that strike.
That was surprisingly refreshing to read. Not common to see an honest take on what's wrong with f2p gaming from a game company.
I think they mainly do it for cheaper-per-shot defence against badly equipped armies. Which means they don't like spending a lot of bullets on the phalanx system to counter enemy artilety in middle east, and it doesn't rain much in the desert anyway, so they're good to go.

They can also have applications in high-altitudes and in space. Maybe to take down MRVs? That makes a lot more sense actually.

I expect for the same reason most stores close down at night. Sure, you'll get some business but probably not enough to cover the costs of staying open. Furthermore, there's probably a lot of daily maintenance and cleaning to do.

Right, it's not easy and there are adverse selection issues when you start incentivizing doctors to avoid complex cases that are more likely to involve complications. And the scientific basis for a given procedure is likely more important than minor variations in doctors' technical competence levels.

That said, insurers have better insight into this than almost anyone else. If they see a young person with almost no medical claims go in for an elective foot surgery with Doctor Lexus, and then all of a sudden that person is attending physical therapy and filling opioid prescriptions every month, that's a bad sign. If it happens more than once, insurers should feel empowered to go ahead and shut the good doctor down. But this does not happen.

> I get a lot of enjoyment from visiting places where English isn't spoken

Very interestingly though, Americans tend to visit places and usually contain themselves to the very small pockets of countries where people can speak English to them. I can definitely see that in my country (France), where American tourists only go to the-place-where-all-americans-go, and then come back amazed that people spoke English to them.

This tends to be very disconnected from the actual English-speaking skills of the population (which, for my country, is pretty abysmal).
I wonder if they patented the "business process" of selling insurance against patent trolls.
I was looking at your pics and was like "I think I went to high school with this guy".

Turns out I went to high school with you.
Maybe you could write one? I bet that it would be really appreciated.
That's a fair point but seems like it's only part of the picture, I just did a bit more digging and it looks like the proportion of people who pick up has dropped by about 1/3 while the proportion of people who agree to participate after talking to the live pollster has dropped by 3x, a similar decline to the proportion who pay the Met. http://www.people-press.org/2012/05/15/assessing-the-represe...

Obviously though drawing conclusions from these two trends would be premature, so I'm hoping someone might think of numbers they've seen on similar topics, whether they align with these or not.
My 2 cents, which is about all this comment is worth:

When I see "over 500k combined downloads", I think "Wow!".

When I then read "$1x,xxx", I think "$1x,xxx? Why so little?".
You can buy their graphics cards and plug them into a computer running Linux, say in a render farm.

The only Mac you can purchase and use their products in exited production half a decade ago.

Without the possibility of making sales, why would they bother?

Apple's pro software made a big bet on OpenCL in the past, so I don't see them going with anybody but ATI for built in GPUs until they root that dependency out of their software and switch over to Metal for compute.

Nvidia certainly isn't going to put OpenCL performance on an equal footing with CUDA performance, so I can't see them getting a design win with Apple as long as Apple's in house software is still using OpenCL.
Oh my gosh, I used to know a guy that went by 'puppies' or something that used to talk extensively about the "AOL progz" and I just got a flashback. This is incredible.
Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Seattle, Austin, London, Dublin, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to form and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

It is a great role for an engineer that would rather be in a cross-functional role where a typical week includes releasing production features, visiting a client's marketing and engineering teams, and brainstorming new products and features.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... .

Facebook | Solutions Engineering Manager | Paris | Onsite

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in Paris. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required. Roughly half the time would be spent on people management, with the other half on Solutions Engineering work.

We are looking for someone fluent in French.

If you would like to apply or have any questions, feel free to send me an email at hiten@fb.com .
See, that's where we disagree: I'd probably not approach any group talking by themselves in a conference if I was the odd one - the only latino, the only man... you name it.

Maybe I would if I had something to add to the conversation, but to simply socialize? No.

In another context, a social one, maybe... but otherwise I don't see how that would work out.

And that says nothing about any bias, at least I cannot see it that way. Maybe it reflects some sort of insecurity, fear of rejection? Yes for sure. But that goes really far from sexism.
Google Chrome: Flash Usage Declines from 80% in 2014 to Under 8% Today
Unfortunately I think that this statement has some truth in it: I work in telecoms where we care about realtime: I was used to work in C but my latest project is in C++, I was curious about how C++ and realtime mix: the answer is quite poorly..

It's not that you can't do realtime in C++: it's that you have to fight against lots of C++ developers who want to apply the non-realtime C++ popular idioms.

For example: using interface classes for mocking objects with googletest, the result: virtual methods everywhere..
So from my understanding of urban warfare you would have direct line of sight of the target, and that distance can vary from very close to over a 1000 meters. It may sound like a long way, but in the grand scheme of things this is like looking down a few blocks, if you are on just the 2nd-4th floor of a building you will realize how far you can actually see.
Yes, I did read to the end, and no they don't. They treated it as though it's one of the many actual fake news sites that builds its business model around tricking people but hides away a disclaimer somewhere claiming to be a satire site in order to dodge complaints, describing it as though that disclaimer was the only thing tipping readers off that the article wasn't true. None of the DuffelBlog articles are exactly subtle, including that one.
Books are extremely cheap to buy in volume. Sellers rent cheap warehouse space and store thousands of books at a time. The selling price of each book is irrelevant. Often it is only one cent. Shipping for a book via Amazon’s sharply discounted rate is about $2.50. They charge about $3.50 for shipping. They make about $1 a book essentially using Amazon’s shipping fees in an arbitrage scheme.
The size of the house is irrelevant. It will almost certainly be torn down. The sad thing is that the buyer will be building their dream house in a vast sea of tract housing and ugly commercial strips. Oh, and one orchard.
I think we could make similar claims about cable TV news, newspapers, Facebook, and most websites. I think it’s an interesting question if the behavior we have seen was caused by the design of Twitter, or if Twitter is instead another outlet/vector. Or some combination of both.

Awesome resource. Kubernetes sure is the hot thing right now, I just wish I had any excuse to use it.

Can anyone recommend a more general resource? Possibly something that covers a wider range of topics like intranets, VPNs, self-hosted servers, etc? I know someone who thinks he's all that but seriously needs to read more of this stuff.

He values private networks over SSL (as in public websites don't even have SSL), salts salts and decrypts stuff by looping through timestamps within a range close to the transmission, and more.

Not quite. You have to be a lot more specific: only laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness.

"Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons prohibits the use of laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness. The parties to the protocol also agree to not transfer such weapons to any state or non-state entity. The protocol does not prohibit laser systems where blinding is an incidental or collateral effect, but parties that agree to it must take all feasible precautions to avoid such effects."
This isn’t a mere semantic quibble. It’s a blatant misrepresentation of what was done, with an attack based on that.

To make an analogy to gun control, imagine if a prominent person said that the Parkland attacker constructed the bomb he used to kill all those kids with a rare explosive that can only be obtained from the government of Ecuador, and implied there was something funny going on. Should we avoid calling this “false” because he did actually kill a bunch of kids?
Thank god this is Satire.

But that said, I've worked on/at many (many, many, many) projects/companies that are dependent on someone else's ecosystem to be viable. Sometimes it's about traffic. Sometimes it's about behavior (e.g. they change an API without giving you a heads up). There's money to be made in those ecosystems and often times the owners of that ecosystem care a lot about their partner network...until they don't.

Worst of all, they really aren't beholden to keeping your lights on and you should realize that when entering a (often implicit) relationship with them. It's just the way it works.

Using the first method with a bunch of classes makes a lot of sense when you're going with a UI library like React.js or Vue.js.

You have separate components and you use the classes to style them. So you're not repeating them all over the place because you're then just rendering a single component instead of repeating HTML.

English grammar generally follows the rule that proper nouns and derivations thereof are capitalized. So the proper way to write it would be white, black, Asian, Hispanic (also Latino/Latina), Native American (or Indian or Amerindian), Pacific Islander, etc. Note the difference between native American and Native American.

Sexual reproduction allows beneficial mutations to spread and recombine in a population much faster than asexual reproduction (yes, e.coli has conjugation, but it's nowhere near as powerful). A complex trait might require multiple mutations to support it-- a gene pool that's constantly mixed by sexual reproduction will have much higher chances of the combination arising than with asexual reproduction.

You can observe the same thing in genetic algorithms, where crossover ("sexual" reproduction / mixing of two candidates) is often performed because it creates more viable offspring than simple cloning with mutations.

I passed this on to a friend of mine who has been doing virtual currency in online games since the mid 1990s (MUDs) and has been called as an expert witness in the past to defeat some of these "virtual currency" patents.
That they have such a weak patent is a problem with the system that permits it. Copyright should be enough for software.

The morality doesn't seem that disparate either - they are both exploitative.
