Yes we will correct the legend in that graph, thanks for reporting it.

Dynimize is the company, Dynimizer the product. We may ditch the name Dynimizer and just go with Dynimize to avoid confusion. Thoughts?

It is a general purpose approach to optimization and MySQL is just a starting point. It was chosen first because it has a broad user base and is relatively easier to support compared to many other Linux programs: single process architecture, long process lifetimes, OLTP workloads are known to spend much of their time in front-end CPU stalls on the CPU side which are effectively targeted with profile guided compiler optimizations, and it’s statically compiled. We’ve tried it on MongoDB and seen similar benefit but not supported yet. Coming soon. Windows will probably require some driver development for effective sample based profiling and will happen later on. We will improve the effectiveness of our other optimizations that don’t target front-end CPU stalls and better support multiprocess workloads with short process lifetimes, which will allow us to target many other types of programs in the future.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.
People say the same things about GUI desktop apps being dumbed-down versions of command line utilities and tool ecologies. Command line tools are still here, and we have more of them compared to the Old Days; it seems focusing entirely on the newest thing provides a skewed view of the totality of what's available, as pre-existing technologies tend to not only not go away entirely, but continue to evolve.

(I wonder if anyone thought command lines were dumbed-down versions of punch-card batch setups.)
I notice that the big decline in female enrollment in CS came around the time the Hollywood stereotype of a computer programmer changed from a well-intentioned labcoated professional whose creation might have gotten a bit out of control to a basement dwelling hacker carrying out a solo fight against the bullies, the man, etc.
Interesting that popular perception is that it is hard to be a woman in STEM because you get so much unwanted attention, but in this case it was exactly the opposite. She wasn't able to find lab partners for projects in male majority classes and felt lonely.
why can't it just be a free market
Shameless plug for https://heyhabit.com (I'm the dev). It's meant to be used as a chrome extension that takes over the new tab in Chrome, but you can try it from the website. I've been using it for ~2 years now and it works really well off and on. I've discovered that it's really helpful for getting me back on track when I fall off the horse. Because the calendar maintains what a "successful" week looks like for me, it eliminates some of the mental energy required to regroup.
Agreed. But LogMeIn purchased them, so I'm unsurprised that price has increased and quality has dipped.

One issue I've been seeing more of (both on Android and on desktop) is the cache not re-populating automatically. You have to go Advanced -> Clear Local Cache, and only then will it download a fresh copy.

Or worse, sometimes after adding new credentials it never sync's it to the cloud. It remains on that device, but that's it.
Looks like even google is only 2 or three years though
Just to add a fun example to demonstrate your point, the original name for Esperanto wasn’t “Esperanto”, it was (translated) “the international language”. It was given the nickname “Esperanto” after the chosen name of the creator, and the word itself it supposed to mean “one who hopes”.
I use react, react-dom and react-hyperscript. Write a component, render to the DOM. Transpile with browserify. End. Maybe there should a be tutorial that just does that, but no, people want to write a begginer tutorial that uses JSX, Babel, Redux, React Router, Webpack and GraphQL.

I might just have to move to iPhone. Though I haven't even bought an apple product in my 35 years...
I am pretty disappointed that React won the JS UI wars and not another framework. Angular 1.0 was I think the best framework for UI around and then then they smashed that with Angular 2.0 which went into obscurity. Probably Google's biggest mistake that ended up with them losing the UI framework war to Facebook's React.
@karmbahh - good to know. I've used Kettle for about 9 months in production and so far its been pretty solid - but we are not going that far off the beaten path for most things. Its a big app, but at least there is documentation and some great users who have been very helpful and the codebase is by and large very logically laid out.

We do use the Adaptive Execution Layer - but so far not with spark (we use it with our own processing engine) - its working well for us and its great we can switch engines as needed.

re: UI. I like a lot of new look and feel but I can see how it did lose some visual semantics and i can imagine any long term user would find the changes frustrating. I guess with coming to the tool much later, this has been less of an issue for me and we teak the presentation for our own workflows and plugins anyhow.

For us Kettle/Pentaho PDI is a great open source project but it will definitely be interesting to see how things evolve now Hitachi has acquired Pentaho.

I unfortunately notice this behavior even when my MBP (2013, Retina) is in clamshell mode hooked up to a 1440p monitor rendering at native resolution. :(
This is the normal behavior in iOS, and has been for years.

What Apple is doing is _additionally_ disabling the USB port on an even lower level. Currently, the port could still exchange data if it were tricked or hacked, but disabling the port on a controller level will prevent accessing the device entirely.

Or at least that's the theory. Since it can obviously be reconnected after entering a passcode, there are conceivably ways to get it to open up. But that will have to be tested.
You first need "ye old barber shop" and "big corp barber shop" to all agree on what this common API should be. That's the old standards proliferation problem https://xkcd.com/927/

Which is what makes it very hard to define a new common API

However, they all already agree on the standard for natural language communication (in the context of a strict, well defined domain). That's the pre-existing common API which Duplex is using
I've seen this lack of attention/comprehension with the text of others, both as reader and as outside observer, so I know the confusion is not just poor writing on my part.

My wife works in banking, and she's discovered that she has a superpower: She can read large amounts of dense text quickly and comprehend it. Yes, her superpower is reading! Incredible as it sounds, there are lots of C-level people in her field who basically never get past light reading. So basically, she's become an overnight expert/resource to senior people.

Is this a sign of the degradation of our society, or has it always been this way? I suspect it's actually the latter.
I experience regular "gray outs" on Ubuntu with FF hogging so many resources that eventually the only thing that works is killing it. This happens to me both on a 5 year old desktop as well as on old Lenovo Thinkpad (X2002s). However, I believe flashplayer to be the culprit as I often have quite a few youtube tabs open -- obviously never more than one playing though.
The problem is still there though. Roofs can and do leak.
I do use noise-cancelling headphones. I use some inexpensive Sony headphones that have basic noise cancelling, and they have helped a LOT in the open office.
Take action for net neutrality
Requiring specific technical solutions is rarely a good idea. For example mandating that all new cars have catalytic converters is a common but not very good requirement. The requirement should be formulated as a goal/limit, not a solution.

Having one solution required means you can’t innovate to find a cheaper or better solution to the same problem.

The answer in this context would be to require a total net power draw for the home. Adding a production unit just gives more room in the calculation and not having one might mean more expensive insulation or smaller windows are needed instead.

Obviously. But that's not what I meant.

They did not say "tracking is illegal", they said "it's illegal if not necessary".

Are they then say: "It's not necessary because if you completely restructured your business you wouldn't need to track."

That's the part I meant - do they really go to that level of detail?
I'm probably being dense, but I don't see a good description of the input data types supported - the CLI says "json or python".

It would be great to have clarification if this is JSON only, or supports other data structures, or parsers could be plugged in?
Tyranny of the majority is a well known concept in political science. For example, initially the civil rights movement (both the civil war era, and the 1960s) and laws was quite unpopular. From a certain point of view, they were strong armed thru by activist judges and politicians who were violating the popular will.
I want to learn Mobx. I like the conceptual model (functional, immutable) of Redux though - I'm just not a fan of all the boilerplate although I understand why it is there.

It looks like they are moving away from Java. Can anyone from Netflix comment on why javascript was the language of choice for the migration?
Autocad's main customer base is the AEC industry, while 3D-MAX is used in video game and visual production. Solidworks, on the other hand, is used for modeling mechanically detailed structures - like you would produce in a machine shop.

Revit, on the other hand, is used for building information modeling. It's main domain is designing buildings.

Except for Revit and Autocad, which are somewhat interchangeable within their users' domain, none of these products really serve each others core userbase well. Hence, they are not really comparable. It's like saying Word is a bit like Excel since you can compose tables of numbers in each.

If you were to offer one to the core user of the other they would complain as much as if you were giving a steak for a vetenarian to cook.
I think it's a bit unfair to assume that people who are considered creepy must not know basic human interactions. A lot of people's initial opinion of you is guided subconsciously by how attractive you are. It's foolish to believe that looks don't play a huge role.
"Let us tell you what's newsworthy and what isn't."

another major point of distinction is free form sculpture vs engineering parts. the tools made for either of these domains is largely useless in the other.

Chaining and applying to arrays of elements at the same time
You'd have to in good faith submit disputes. If they fix it then it's all good. If they don't fix or, it comes back again later, then they just violated your rights under the FCRA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Credit_Reporting_Act)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 (“FCRA”) is U.S. Federal Government legislation enacted to promote the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies. It was intended to protect consumers from the willful and/or negligent inclusion of inaccurate information in their credit reports

Of course, Trump and his appointees wants to dismantle CFPB which helps protect consumers on these kind of things.
I have that setting as well. The new config specifically for this is "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsored", you might want to flip it too just in case. The config name doesn't specifically reference pocket - so perhaps it could be used in other ways as well.
If you believe the motto "design is how it works" (and Apple should, because the phrase was coined by Steve Jobs), Apple's design in the Cook era has been abysmal: charging your Apple Pencil by sticking it out of the lightning port. The mouse that has to charge by flipping it upside-down. The beautiful trash can that couldn't be upgraded. And this fucking keyboard that dies and sets you back $700 if it gets so much as a speck of dust in it.

Jony Ive is way overdue for a re-evaluation as "the greatest designer of our generation". Left to his own devices without Jobs as a moderating influence, he produces hot garbage.
Won't this new law actually disincentivize more affordable housing?
Not my usual reaction to films that put me to sleep.
I just don’t see how that could be. When I was studying, we had 2 girls in a peer group of roughly 90 people. All they had to do to find a lab partner is have a pulse. Interestingly, both have graduated, and neither is using her degree now.

This was done on CentOS 7.3.x (not CentOS 6 as I had incorrectly first noted), and the following versions of bash and grep:

"GNU bash, version 4.2.46(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)"

"grep (GNU grep) 2.20"

So where $data is a newline delimited list of items/patterns:

grep "${data}"

..will indeed match each item/pattern individually and grep over each, eg, just as grep -f does against a file with a list of patterns. It doesn't work without the double quotes, and putting the echo in front was obvious derp in hindsight. See my comment where I replied to
uraza and demonstrated this.
Exactly. If a small business doesn't use open table or duplex, no problem - I can just use duplex to schedule the reservation for me. Open table requires buy in from the restaurant, duplex doesn't.
>Bookmarks no longer support multiple keywords for the same URL unless the request has different POST data

Can someone explain this one to me? Does this mean I can't use "gi", "i", "image", and "is" as my Google Image Search keywords and need to pick one? Reading the issue [0] isn't helping me. I only recently updated to FF59 from FF39, having to abandon most of my workflow. I really hope this update isn't another nail on the stairs for me, seems every single update since FF40 has broken a significant piece of my workflow. I'd appreciate knowing before updating and then having to roll-back.

The first part of this had great citations to cite that women are more social. Where the data was lacking is that 1) software is perceived as anti-social and 2) that other anti-social careers face similar problems to software engineering.

For example if socialization was such a critical decider, why are some many women maids or professional housekeepers? Most people in this career don't get much on-the-job socialization. Or what about accounting and book keeping; which is a professional, white collar career that also happens to employ more women than men?

While socialization may be a part of the equation, there's a lot more going on here and simply blaming women for being "too social" just panders to common stereotypes.
Everyone doesn't have to use Duplex, everyone would have to use a system that allows it to seem like a human is talking to the other person, provided you limit the context to a particular domain (like taking reservations).

This system could be developed by any company with sufficiently advanced ML chops
It was either Diajkstra or Hoare who supposedly lamented programming students not being as careful when they got to use a terminal rather than punch cards.

Web apps, however, tend to have fewer features and are more limited than desktop apps. Their only advantage being the ability to run in a web browser.

Guess the author hasn't used Slack lately...

I run both Slack (for work) and Riot (for personal, on the matrix.org server) and while I don't use Riot as much as Slack, I really love it. I think the UI is great. I am fairly used to IRC though, and I think that's where Riot gets a lot of its DNA from, so maybe I'm just used to that setup.

For the project being open source, and for the short time it has been alive, it has come so incredibly far. I can't wait to see what else they do.
Oh I had forgotten that ! But I'm not worrying about fedora inside my toolbox but about my toolbox inside fedora ^^
At that price it should save money after one year. But you’re right to care about perverse incentives; it’s hard for governments to get that right for the same reason it’s hard to make an AI that doesn’t reward hack.
> Even though rooftop solar might not be the most economical solution to reduce greenhouse gas footprints, I would argue it's very effective.

Inefficient and expensive systems can do harm, regardless of the good intention behind this law. Rooftop solar has substantial embedded carbon and impacts on the grid that could easily outweigh the small benefits. We need a solution that provides the right incentives to use it when it makes sense, and not use it when it doesn't make sense, rather than a hamfisted blanket mandate.
Could you please explain why positioning would be hard? Since trains only move on the edges of a fixed graph, you'd think positioning would be super easy compared to almost all other indoor positioning applications.

Smartphones are manufactured in a small area of Asia well stocked with all kinds of electronics, bought in bulk.

They're sent to other countries by ship, also in bulk. Efficient but slow.

Even the last mile transport does not look bad there.

The main rare material in phones is actually lithium and that has some indirect impact - we could use it in cheaper batteries for solar and wind instead.
I feel like the real motivation behind this is that far too many people believe that the hard part of getting solar panels adopted is in finding places to put them. So this law "solves" the problem. But that's never been the real problem. It's arguing about the color of the bike shed when the real mover of solar panels is price and output. Price isn't addressed here and you should expect installing it everywhere will lower the average output of installed panels (since it'll be put on non-optimal shady locations too).

People who do that get regularly called creepy for just trying to talk to women. You're telling someone not to give up on the very thing getting them called out as "a creep".

Hell in some countries, you get called creepy for doing that for trying to befriend anyone outside of very specific social situations. When I was in Stockholm, approaching strangers and striking up a conversation was seen as generally rude.
> Bank consolidation is inevitable. Large banks are like nuclear weapons. Every nation absolutely needs them or they risk foreign banks and investors rushing in and capitalizing+colonizing the entire country.

I don't think that makes sense. If you don't allow massively consolidated domestic banks to operate in your country, why would you allow massively consolidated foreign banks to do so instead and "colonize" you?

> But the internet can fix this. It allows for the creation of markets and coordination very, very cheaply. Crowd funding, p2p lending, Youtube, Patreon, open source software, and yes, cryptocurrencies -- these are the key tools of resistance that will allow the little fish to carve out some measure of autonomy.

Personally, I'm moving on from this kind of techno-optimism. I don't think those things can fill these void left by a lack of community banks. Those have their attention focused on their local communities, but your techno-institutions focus their attention on what's attention-grabbing globally. While the latter may be different from what the big banks focus on, it doesn't fix the problems that community banks solve.

React is fine. The problem is:

1) Flux (Redux)
2) Ecosystem (Webpack)

It really feels like something out of Dr. Seuss labs, where things just feels hacked together and wants everyone fit into their use case. It's over designed and some of the process is not required for most projects.

We really need some pragmatic hackers to come in and simplify these things. Someone who can create an efficient alternative that will fit into 99% of web projects and not the 1%.

I do see Vuejs / Mobx are going that direction. But I think we need more of it.

I had the complete opposite experience... I've managed to stay fairly current with JS all along from ES5 through the influence of babel and other tooling towards ES6 and now. When I first started playing with React, I felt "finally!"

I had worked with .Net (both VB and C#) in the past as well as with ActionScript (Flex and Flash) and working with EcmaScript for XML (E4X) combined with XML literals in VB.Net was very natural to me... I'd wanted something similar to build from in JS/HTML for a very long time. React did that for me.

The flux pattern made sense, but most of the earlier libraries had way too much going on... when Redux came out it was such a natural fit to me.

When I look at other state management, or even Angular (1 and new) they just feel like less to me.
