Experts (?) with their "sense of excitement" and such, but the parents shopping for this year's Xmas sensation consumer good will be looking at price and availability (with "Getting the hell out of there" likely somewhere in the mix), hence Walmart then, and Amazon now.

That's unfortunate, I've had mine for ~2 years and haven't had any major issues with it. Sometimes mine wakes up randomly (but I think that's a Windows issue).
wow. I wonder what falls out of that.
There have been already quite a few people pointing out that the process you describe is legal. Yes, that might be true. People are not arguing against that.

IANAL, but it still seems as if they are attempting to manipulate the market for their personal gain, with coordinated sensationalist stories and gross exaggeration. Market manipulation is a thing and people have been sentenced for it in the past [1] (edit: just learned this is called "securities fraud" in the US?).

The widespread "It is in the rule-book so you can't call him out for it!"-attitude on hackernews, e.g. defending Shkreli (yet, he also has been found guilty of fraud - guess what: still illegal), is hideous IMO.

I don't see the benefits of these. Just because I can manually encrypt and decrypt I don't have more confidence in the cipher. If I already trust the cipher I might as well trust a program that does the encryption and decryption.
Doesn't seem reasonable to do that after he gave up all the intel. Doesn't sound like a good reason to me.
> There is no need to prove that because it's quite obvious that C is fine.

No. It is quite obvious to anyone rational and without a vested interest that C is no longer fit for purpose in this modern age.

Let me guess. He's sick of patching security holes, memory leaks and crashes?
Someone was trying to reboot Circut City in a similar fashion

They reached out to my former company (a retail marketing firm) for some work a little over a year ago, and Googling the name shows it’s probably not going so well.
My guess, actually, is that people who have done the work would not view this as a "possible explanation". It seems about as useful as speculating that "hey, maybe the earth is flat?"

But you never know, that's why I asked, hoping that someone OP or otherwise who has experience in the field would comment.

TFA is specifically taking about genetics and brain scans, which makes me curious as to how that would be reconciled with this "theory" about bad experiences, if indeed the OP was aware of the content of the article at all.
Apple Maps is like Bing: almost as good as the #1 service, but almost is not enough to make anyone care.

Apple Maps is remarkably good today, doing nearly all of the important things well. Here in Australia, it's on par with Google Maps for driving (slightly worse for novel route planning, slightly better for guidance) and when travelling to major world cities I've found Apple Maps is frequently better than Google Maps for navigating on foot and public transport.
This is hard to describe, but easier to show. If you load up: http://www.chiptune.com/ the Workbench emulator, click and drag down the white bar at the top ("where it says Chipbench release) you'll see what is meant.
Same here. Just gave quick tour for both of them and don't like them at all. TheOldReader UI with crazy spacing between elements drives me crazy. Feedly on other hand wastes too much space. Will not use none of them as replacement.
Well, you're right, I misused the term a bit. I used 'leaky', because it well describes that abstraction cannot hide implementation details(and in the second example those implementation details are used to achieve new functionality). However, it is because of the user abusing abstraction, not because abstraction is inherently leaky in that regard(and that is the reason the term was coined).

I definitely need a new word for situations like this.
How to Upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 Beta from Ubuntu 17.10
This is the first time I feel comfortable saying "But think of the children".

How can this country be creating a world where children grow up without toy stores? When I was a kid Toys 'R' Us was a wonderland that excited my imagination around every corner.

Money isn't everything. Money doesn't even really matter at all. A world without toy stores matters.

From a gaming point of view Doom, really hit the Amiga hard. Gloom and Alien Breed 3D were poor attempts at replicating Doom (at least on standard Amiga hardware). This was at a time when it seemed every other game release was a Doom clone and where the hype was. It's a shame as the Amiga had so much more to offer.
This! I'm horrible at mental arithmetics and I have a degree in engineering. Everyone has access to a calculator in their pocket anyway, and ... Who's going to pay with cash within a couple of years?

To add to what you said:
I think explaining basic concepts is the way to go: Explain compound interest, how much 1$ today will be worth in their retirement at a fixed rate. How does money devalue with inflation, and other basic personal finance aspects. But above all, give people the intuition rather than just say "you should invest your savings"
Translate "sentences of news" is very different to translating an entire article, which is obviously what's interesting.

Is anybody in MT or text comprehension/generation really working on systems that construct a model/"understanding" of the bigger narrative in a longer-running text? Even just to be able to do correct anaphora resolution across sentence and paragraph boundaries, but intuitively also WSD seems easier if you've got some sort of abstract context over more than just a sentence.
> Its up to the developers to make their programs safe and reliable. No language to date will do that for them.

But languages do make a huge contribution. For example, Rust, Ada and Modula-3 are all much safer by defaults alone compared to C. Most Rust code sits outside unsafe blocks, so the existence of this feature does not prove there is no point to Rust.
Here's a video clip showing the feature - too bad there isn't another application running behind the Workbench screen.

When you're buying the very first version of a new consumer electronics category (first iPhone, first Apple Watch, first Android phone), you can expect it to become fully outdated in 2-3 years, given current rates of hardware development, that's the cost of being an early adopter.
I would expect the Apple Watch 3 to be viable for 4-5 years, much like an iPhone 6S will still work well today.

> Could this principle not also apply to any journal/conference paper?

Git's man pages are not journal papers.

> For the most part, one has to have a basic understanding of the field

"Basic understanding of the field" does nothing for understanding Git.

> and read through prior research to have a better understanding of the current problem domain.

You should not have to "read through prior research" to be able to use a basic VCS tool, literally no other VCS asks that of you, not even Darcs (especially not Darcs, which actually put real effort into a sensible CLI).

> We don't expect journal papers to be written at an elementary level.

We don't expect tooling documentation to require a phd unless the tool's entire purpose is something only a phd would need.

> The same thing applies to a lot of tools that are used in software development.

No. It applies to very few tools that are used in software development. And git most definitely is not one of them.

When I was younger my memory was rock solid in that if I recalled something it was 100% true. As I got older my memory is not as certain, but at least I know my memory is not always correct.

The loss of the reliability of my memory is probably the thing I most about my youth.
I don't know the US, but here in the UK the rival toy stores - Smyths and The Entertainer are more entertaining for children and The Entertainer is predominantly based in town centres.

Toys R Us relies upon parents driving to an out of town shopping centre. There are also independents that do a better job of presentation than Toys R Us. They're more expensive but so are Toys R Us compared to Amazon.
Zenkit wins “Great User Experience” award for 2018
homo economicus as an idea only became popular when economists noticed that it doesn’t exist.

In this context, you are probably right: the skills this study tested are probably something we need people to have. But zoom out a bit and it’s probably a lost case, and ethically dubious, to get people to conform to an ideal only to make a system work that is supposed to serve them.

Capitalism is a tool. It’s the best we currently have. But it’s not a moral philosophy or an end in itself.
Sigh. That’s the main reason I won’t move to the s9. I already have an iPhone and Siri just sucks. Why would I want another sucky assistant? It’s like hiring the wrong person... twice.

I really wish the manufacturers would only have a few features, like weather or timer or location (home, work, school) that were truly bulletproof in execution. It feels like they are trying to do too much most of the time when I just want them to not suck consistently so I can actually use them reliably.
For users who have reasonably functioning products, yes. For Siri users, looks like not so much.
Ask Your SSL Provider These Questions Before You Buy One
Yes, but this particular tutorial is just exceptionally bad. It doesn't even tell you in plain English that a new branch is being created - it just says nothing seems to have changed with -b, that an overwriting seems to be an illusion, and that you can restore the original by checking out master! The author seems to have gone to extraordinary lengths to not use the term "branching". That does not help in usage, despite being termed Usage-First

From the tutorial:

We have created a Git repository that tracks one text file containing a certain message. Now type:

$ git checkout -b boss # nothing seems to change after this

$ echo "My boss is smarter than me" > myfile.txt

$ git commit -a -m "Another commit"

It looks like we’ve just overwritten our file and committed it. But it’s an illusion. Type:

$ git checkout master # switch to original version of the file

and hey presto! The text file is restored.
I always thought that Android's intents could be a good API for voice commands. It actually surprised me that we never really got much deep app integration with voice on Android phones given that API.
I think Job was responsible for the maps debacle.

When you set hard deadlines for software release dates because you want to have tentpole features for IOS releases, and you mostly refuse to do widespread beta tests because then it won't be surprising, you're creating the maps debacle. Now I'm sure maps was harder than it looked, but I'd also bet lots of people on the inside knew that. They should have let the date slip.
This reminds me of the myth of the "Latte Factor".

That something could be allocated by custom allocator like new or g_slice_alloc. You can monkey with the ABI as numerous FFI libraries do, but it is not portable by definition, unless you’re using, well, portable FFI library. Personally I can’t see why string, abi, etc libraries must be included. Include GLib++/GObject++ then and use its actually large ecosystem — what problem are you trying to solve by blaming low-level? That low-level is too low? Do you need high-level low-level that everyone will obey next morning? Check Java?

Compare this to one of Google's blog post promoting their MT research: https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/a-neural-network-for...

It is:

1) More accurate, compared to hyperbole like e.g. "Bridging the Gap between Human and Machine Translation" we have right there in the title the domain: news.

2) A more impressive result. This result is on an independently set up evaluation framework, compared to Google's which used their own framework.

Compare further the papers:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.08144.pdf
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/0...

These researcher appear to have been much clearer about what they're actually claiming, and also used more standard evaluation tools (Appraise) and methodology rather than something haphazardly hacked together.
I can open app and ask for actions on Google assistant on my Pixel phone. I use things like

- "Send message <message> to <someone> on WhatsApp"
- "Take a selfie or screenshot"

Maybe app actions are only available on Pixel devices.

I use Google Assistant all day, and know people who do the same. It's actually amazing, and although Apple was the first one to add any decent voice assistant, Google was the first one that understood my accent at all ("Indian English"). When we had that, it was a shame to even ask any question to Siri. Now when Siri has an Indian English version as well, I still compare it all the time with my friend's latest iPhone, and it still sucks. It understands me every time.
If Apple engineers who work on Siri were required to do all of their corporate communication with Siri exclusively, Siri would rule inside a year.

That is assuming they were trusted to work on it instead of report to status meetings, or meetings to their dotted line manager, etc. Apple was built around Steve. It’s going to take a while.
Based on the location of the epicentre, there was no way of getting a 60 sec (or any) warning if you were in Christchurch that day.

It would've been useful in the 2016 Kaikoura quake though - watching the models* of how that fault unzipped up the east coast of the South Island should've given Marlborough and Wellington some warning.

Replacing everything every 2-3 years is the "normal" mindset for young people (< 20 years old). As a "grown-up", I expect stuff to wear out if I use it a lot, but to last long if I take care of it.

Am I the only one who thinks that nothing should be done about the "fake news" issue?

This debate is based on all sorts of fallacies. First, that fake news elected someone. It did not. Second, that this is something new or inherent to the Internet. It is not. Fake rumours and gossip have existed ever since we have existed. People's judgement has been the sole thing holding the whole system together for hundreds of years. Bankers, for example, spread rumours that Nikola Tesla had sex with pigeons. It was fake but it spread like fire in NYC. Did we ban free speech because of such things? No.

From most the discussion threads here it seems that censorship is the only way forward, which scares me because people are falling for the trap and they are justifying censorship.

Who will decide what videos are "controversial"? If we agree that fake news should be regulated, what is the limit of state regulation? Why not then allow them to censor most other politically incorrect forms of speech?

It seems to me like this is headed down a very dangerous path and it's scary how people fall for it. Fake news is absolutely irrelevant and how it's been blown up and is being exagerated in order to justify censorship is a conspiracy in its own right. I'd be more concerned about this particular conspiracy: someone is trying to justify censorship because one particular candidate won an election.
Everything about the Amiga was Magic. Even a system crash was a spiritual experience, with a meditating Guru.
No, they are available on all devices (at least on my Nexus 6P too). It's only a matter of which apps are implementing the "Actions on Google Assistant" and for which operations.
> and with zero justifications for why this would suddenly add a "large cognitive load" to Wikipedia

Because if a video about say, 9-11 conspiracy theories, will have an infobox added to it which quotes the first par of a Wikipedia article, makers and viewers of such a video will go to Wikipedia and edit the first par to front-load the information they want to see. This will happen extensively across hundreds of thousands of topics. Many of Wikipedia's policies and processes won't apply to these new edit wars because they are about whether or not information can be included, rather than which information appears in the introductory part.
Typically not. Sometimes they are tagged as nominal mentions.
I think Google translate already has this. I was translating some text into German a few days ago, and after a few sentences I used a word that made it clear that I was talking about a specific type of contract appointment, and it went back and adjusted earlier sentences to use more precise terminology. You only notice this when you a) speak the language you're translating into somewhat; b) actually type/compose the message in the Google Translate text box; and c) are typing something idiomatic enough that such specific phrases can be inferred. So I guess it's just something you wouldn't normally notice.

Either way, I was mightily impressed, to the point where my wife had to roll her eyes and say 'yeah yeah I understand it now' to get me to drop it. (I'm just easily excited I guess.)
What is remarkable is how much worse the web is today.
It only works when companies take the "my way or the high way" approach.

Hence why Microsoft went C++ and .NET Native, keeping C compatibility just as far as ANSI C++ requires it. And support C++ kernel code since Windows 8.

Why the NDK is such a pain to use on Android, with a very tiny API surface.

Why all Objective-C improvements are now only related to improve interoperability with Swift.

So maybe if Microsoft decides to also force Checked C on Windows, it might eventually work.

> And if you're not properly taking your locks before accessing your variables, `volatile` is not going to save you.

Yes, it will! Just because you’re accessing shared variables doesn’t mean you need locks. This is what volatile is for!

You’re blindly hoping the compiler will do the right thing for you, anyway. You must have little-to-no experience writing multi-theaded code in production, let alone anything more advanced that doesn’t rely on locks.

Nobody’s arguing that volatile somehow bypasses the cache. When it comes to multithreading, that doesn’t matter though, because the whole process works with the cache, and the CPU keeps core caches synchronized. Memory barriers do nothing here.

Seriously, you’re arguing rubbish.
> Compliance systems are another use case. E.G: make a public database of all plane inspections or food products origin.

I feel like a broken record when I point out yet again that this is a technical non-solution to a human problem. The same bad actors who would falsify inspection records or food origin information will have no issue simply falsifying it into the blockchain instead of whatever current system is used.

The problem with bad actors faking records has everything to do with the bad actors and nothing whatsoever to do with the mechanism by which the records are recorded. The blockchain solves absolutely nothing in these use cases.
We bought an amazon device to use as a kitchen timer. It sits right next to where everyone charges their iPhones. Nobody uses Siri. It’s sad. I want to love her, but I honestly can’t remember the last time she was useful, she only works with apples’ ecosystem (and I refuse to use maps it’s tried to kill me on multiple occasions), and I can’t honestly remember the last time I was impressed with her progress forward as a tech.

You are making it sound like "injecting random garbage into HTTP" is some new hotness. It have been done since forever. By the way, — email still works that way. But Google and a couple of other corporations would not like you to trample their email-harvesting business, so there is disproportionately less FUD and fear-mongering being spread around email connections.

Internet providers have been injecting ads into websites for years. Hackers and government have been doing same to executables and other forms of unprotected payload.

There is no indication, that those specifications failed (and in fact, they remain useful even after widespread adoption of HTTPS).
