-complete game state should be compactly represented, ultimately it will need to be in a form that can be inputted to an NN

- player actions should be enumerable (if there are discrete actions)

- score is reward, it should be easy to access directly

- game will be much easier to learn of there are shorter goals with more score feedback. long puzzles with very sparse reward is still challenging for RL

Not only are they normalized unicode, they're normalized decomposed, and not only that, but slightly non-standard (does not conform to standard Unicode "NFD" form). (Or at least, this was the case with HFS. I haven't followed APFS closely enough to say for that.)
It is dead. Someone forked it. I'm sorry but I can't trust some random team with almost zero funding to write my everyday os. Ubuntu phone died when Canonical dropped it. Same for Mozilla. It's a shame and kind of bizarre that Google can go on without any competition, but without the hardware manufacturers cooperating this isn't working out.
We need open hardware for this to work.
>It's just so much better than having to remember a thousand different passwords.

Login by email should really become a thing. There's just no reason to store passwords for most sites where you can just stay logged in indefinitely. On rare occasion you need your login cookie refreshed, just send a new link to your email. The burden of remembering a thousand secure and unique passwords dissolves immediately.
Interesting. Because with Firefox 59 for Android, both kinetic and inertial scrolling work as expected (just tested). Odd that it does not work for iOS Safari.

I wish we could subscribe to Pubsubhubbub notifications without needing to register a webhook. Or rather without needing admin privileges to the repo... At least if it's public.

As far as I know, it's not like the pushed notifications include data that isn't available via painful and expensive /scraping. And with PuSH, there could be third party hubs.

I guess I've answered my own questions. Is anyone aware of folks running PuSH hubbubs for GH repos and letting other folks publicly freely subscribe to those notifications? If not, maybe a new item to add to my list...
Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Outlook, Samsung Mail, and Google Android, together making up well over 70% of that list, are all native clients. Plus, the clients that aren't native are all web-browser based.
How is paying the head tax going to help Seattle-area employees? It's unlikely that many Seattle-area employees are going to qualify for the 1800 "affordable housing units." The underlying issue appears to be Seattle's restrictions on development. The crazy cost of housing in the area is the result of restrictions on supply (and the high incomes of many tech employees). I'm also unpersuaded that this tax will have any significant impact on homelessness in the area unless restrictions on development are eased. It's going to be interesting in the long term to see how the socialist city council reconciles their political philosophy with their constituents' demands for tight controls on development. We only have to look at San Francisco to see the likely outcome.

100% agreed that this sort of thing can't really be done on individual initiative - it just makes you look like the only jerk in the building.

Nit: those are not percentages indicating how much helium left, just some undocumented SMART attribute "raw values", there is no direct way to find out their meaning. (This is what the article text implies too).

The raw attribute values could be for example 100 = good 99 = moderate 98 = degraded, or a log scale similar to decibels etc. Or it could be a bitfield that has no meaning as a decimal number. etc
I wrote about this eons ago: https://cryptonector.com/2006/12/filesystem-i18n/ and https://cryptonector.com/2010/04/on-unicode-normalization-or... -- these might still be available on https://blogs.oracle.com/, though these are from my days at Sun.

TL;DR, basically, the lack of ability to tag strings in the system call API with codesets means that UTF-8 is the only plausible answer, and the ends (C library system call stubs, filesystems) have to apply whatever codeset conversions. But there's practically zero chance of C library system call stubs (and related functions) performing codeset conversions (can you imagine readdir(3) doing it?), which means that the only reasonable answer is to use UTF-8 locales and be done.

Even shorter: just use UTF-8 locales and be done.

> Any password based upon any dictionary word, even with a few extra bits tacked on like this approach suggests, is incredibly weak in the face of a JackTheRipper or HashCat attack. The scheme proposed here would fall quickly from a leak of the password hashes to a HashCat GPU dictionary attack.

You don't get the point of making it's unique. Even if the password is shown because of the advanced bruteforcing, the password can't be used to other services. Hackers will try the password to other services and when it's not working, it's going to ignore it and just try another password.

It's very unlikely that the hackers will try to guess how to reconstruct your original password from the one that he already has.

> .. a weak password being reused ..

The password is not re-used, it's unique for each website.

Again, you should trust the manager. You should trust the software where you install the manager. and on and on..

What worst is that probably people will use again a weak password for the manager thinking that it's safe.

I'm not sure I follow. The whole point of YIMBY is to increase the supply of housing such that new residents don't displace residents. If 10,000 people move into the city and move into 10,000 newly built apartments then no displacement needs to occur. Conversely, if NIMBYs block housing and 10,000 people move into the city with only 1,000 newly built apartments then 9,000 people are displaced.

Sure, this is an oversimplification; people can live in converted living rooms, put bunk beds into 1BR apartments, etc. But the point remains YIMBYism helps prevent displacement, NIMBYism helps cause it.

I'm not quite sure where you're going with this. The BB numbers are definitely regular integers in the same way that twelve or a googol is, but the uncomputability and fast growth of the function tend to "infect" other transformations and related functions, so that it also becomes very hard to say specific things about them.

Yeah. I despise NIMBY behaviors, so I expected to be hugely in favor of the YIMBY movement when I first heard of it. But it seems like every time I come across an advocate for it they're young, upper-middle to upper-class young white people who are relatively new to the community and have a very "fuck your feelings" approach to things. It's mainly been a disappointment to me.

Indeed. I’d say more than models and predictions, what really defines “truth” is consensus in what are and are not acceptable beliefs.

HFS+'s use of NFD made even more insane by the fact that OS X's input modes prefer to produce NFC anyways. And besides, so do other OSes' input modes, so in any heterogeneous system this is a nightmare.

This is why ZFS does form-insensitive directory lookups (and hashing)[0] rather than normalize-on-CREATE! I'm so glad ZFS got it right, and can stand as a model for all. (I implemented none of that functionality, though I code-reviewed some of it, specifically the u8_* functions in Solaris/Illumos, but I remember it took some doing to convince others that this was the correct approach.)

When you make a reasonable effort to block access to EU users, EU citizens aren't covered under GDPR if they happen to access your site from a non-EU country temporarily:

"This won't apply to every U.S. business — just the ones that are knowingly, and actively, conducting business in the EU. In this vein, EU courts have the discretionary ability to determine if a U.S. company was purposely collecting EU resident data and subverting GDPR compliance. So, in some cases, the inadvertent collection of personal data will be forgiven if it is found to have been occasional and "unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons."

> Hopefully the inverse square law is on my side.

It is, but more importantly, quantum mechanics is on your side. It doesn’t matter how many photons your phone bombards you with, because it transmits and receives at non-ionizing frequencies. Each photon carries too little energy to excite an electron, which means it can’t cause cancer through the same mechanism that, say, x-rays can.

Maybe there is some other mechanism and I just haven’t seen it, being a layperson. But if so, the effect would seem to be too weak to measure reproducibly, and I figure there are much more real, pressing dangers to worry about (e.g. cell phone-related car crashes).
Get yourself an irresponsible sibling or two and you’ll understand :). They don’t want to ask for money, so they wait until it’s almost too late, hoping for other things to happen that don’t. Then it becomes an emergency.
NFD hadn't been standardized at the time.

IIUC the reason they did this is that they wanted directories to be canonically ordered on disk, and they thought decomposition would naturally yield better results than pre-composition. I'm not sure that's right, and frankly I don't care either, because the most important thing to note is that input methods (especially for European languages) by and large produce NFC, and most application software does no normalization at all, so disagreements as to form cause problems[0][1].

Ormat does large Stirling engines for geothermal power. The binary units mean you don't run the risk of taking too much of the reservoir fluid.

Yes. I have come across a number of SF YIMBY types who used to live in NYC; they seem to think scoffing at SF's shorter buildings is sufficient argument. I've never understood their theory though. Is it that if we build up as high as Manhattan, we'll suddenly have Manhattan's low rents?

Their analysis often seems to me to be of the same level as the multitude that thinks the solution to traffic is building more freeways. Yes, the first-order effect is more capacity. But what are the second-order effects?

What does Dota 2 get? That's probably the metric to aim for, since OpenAI uses it themselves, and it's a modern 3D game.

They had to do a few hacks to get it working: https://blog.openai.com/more-on-dota-2/?!

The first step in the project was figuring out how to run Dota 2 in the cloud on a physical GPU. The game gave an obscure error message on GPU cloud instances. But when starting it on Greg’s personal GPU desktop (which is the desktop brought onstage during the show), we noticed that Dota booted when the monitor was plugged in, but gave the same error message when unplugged. So we configured our cloud GPU instances to pretend there was a physical monitor attached.

Dota didn’t support custom dedicated servers at the time, meaning that running scalably and without a GPU was possible only with very slow software rendering. We then created a shim to stub out most OpenGL calls, except the ones needed to boot.

Still, Dota uses simplified collision detection. It would be interesting to know how fast an actual physics simulation could run in headless mode.

> Most of those issues that you bring up with UINavigationController are, while annoying, not actually _that_ common in apps, and people run into them at the native level too - it's not entirely a JS issue. Provided you're not doing anything too against the grain (which the Wix API more or less protects novice users from doing), you're unlikely to experience too many issues and it functions as an almost completely indistinguishable UINavigationController experience for pretty much everyone.

Yes, but as I've mentioned, JavaScript makes these issues more prominent because it's a lot more likely to get into one of these "invalid" states that breaks UINavigationController. And I disagree you with your claim that it's not noticeable.

> how do you define native?

.NET on Windows, Cocoa on macOS, GTK+ on Linux, Cocoa Touch on iOS, and the Android SDK on Android.

> The tl;dr = Apple is getting off relatively easily for not keeping their dev environments competitive, and people complaining about Electron & co making inroads should really be complaining at Apple for neglecting this stuff.

OK, but I don't think the right solution to this is trying to threaten Apple into making the development environment better. Really, you just end up making a bunch of terrible apps and your users hate you for it. And a lot of the things you bring up as being "terrible" aren't really that bad, known to be actively being worked or don't really have an easy solution. Apple forums are not on StackExchange because that's not hosted by Apple. Radar is a black hole because if it wasn't Apple would leak confidential information (though, of course, they _could_ make this a lot better by separating Bug Reporter from Radar). WWDC videos already have transcripts. AppKit is due for a overhaul this year or the next with Marzipan. Swift (and with it, Xcode) is moving towards being more open.
