Just try using a laptop on an airplane whose seats were laid out any time in the past 20 years. There simply isn't enough space in front of you to accommodate the geometry of it anymore. This was the first use case of mine where tablets were absolutely superior. Oh, and battery life in these scenarios as well. Really, pretty much anything involving traveling and wanting to use a larger screen in a "less comfortable" scenario.

When at home or work in my typical "sitting at a desk" or "out and about" mode, you're right. Its either a phone or a real computer.
Like many things, it has benefits and risks.

Are the benefits of reduced burn/increased access to talent particularly relevant for your business, such that they outweigh the increased communication & management difficulty?

I think VCs don't see raising money as an issue, and would rather you burn through a bunch of extra money than struggle with "unnecessary" issues. I mean, we all know AWS is more expensive than doing everything yourself, but yet almost no-one is operating their own machines.
Same here, their requests are getting more and more intrusive. I'm about to abandon the platform. The desktop site works so well on mobile, I'm not sure why they want to move away from that.

Strange random ads are ok compared to seeing creepy demographically targeted ads. Also, there are only so many national brands who are willing to spend money indiscriminately.
I find it difficult because of understanding how to get it to fit with an existing directory layout. And maybe existing scripts in the build. But yes, setting up the tooling is overwhelming.

create-react-app says in the README:
"If you need to integrate React code with a server-side template framework like Rails or Django, or if you’re not building a single-page app, consider using nwb, or Neutrino which are more flexible."

So I go and look at nwb and Neutrino, and there's nothing there going "Need to use us in a legacy project with its own directory structure? Here's how".

I feel I'm missing a piece of the jigsaw...

Yes, that's unfortunately a big problem in FLOSS. It will take a big effort to change that. But I think there are some communities who take mentorship seriously that are incrementally improving this.

> to mockery in social circles for algorithmic mistakes [...]

That's 100% unacceptable.

Did this happen on a public mailing list? If so, can you post a link?

> to finding out my work was enabling bad people [...]

I can't figure out what this would mean, or how it is relevant to open source as opposed to proprietary software.

> to finding out people were misrepresenting my employment status while using my work in violation of the license, I don't think I've ever once had a positive experience with open source as a producer.

Those last two seem exceptional. But you should report the person who was mocking you for making a mistake. That kind of behavior has no place in FLOSS and should be stamped out.

I might be missing something, but is that Virtex 7 or Artix 7 ? From the project page, it looks like Artix, and that's great since many hobbyist level entry boards use Artix 7, like Arty, Basys and Nexys (at the upper end)
I must be misunderstanding something - why would a standards group (or anyone with a functioning brain) accept a "secure" cipher standard developed by an organization who's foundation in part is to be able to break encrypted communications?

I like how my grandparent comment got flagged. Was it uncomfortable reading actual Nazi talking points HN? You might want to evaluate why that's the case and why you were okay with someone putting the blame on the "journalist's sensibilities."
You could change "I might have edited this quote slightly" to "DoreenMichele might have edited this quote slightly." Then it is totally not stealing because it cites your source. Bonus: When people get too up in arms, you have someone else to blame.

Thermodynamics is time reversible in general. It's just not reversible once you postulate a small entropy starting position.

I am not aware of any incompatibility between thermodynamics and either QM or GR, except for stuff involving black holes.
The 12.9” is rather large, I certainly use it less than I anticipated because of it since it’s not particularly friendly to hold for expected periods. When I eventually upgrade I might consider getting the 10.5” model as a result - though I enjoy the larger screen still for certain activities like reading replica newspaper and magazine subscriptions.
Nothing says you can't link to those resources, but if the page automatically loads them (hotlinked images, scripts, remote fonts, etc.) then there's an issue.

Is it really that unreasonable that loading a page to x.com should only load resources from x.com and 3rd-party resources compatible with X's privacy policy?

Another way to eliminate malaria is to modify it so that it kills the host, eventually eliminating the ability of malaria to replicate and go to extinction. I am not seriously suggesting this, but this is how nature works. There are unknown diseases in the past that have extincted themselves this way.
With all of these online courses around, I'm just curious: is there an ML course that teaches you the right model to use? Say for example, the right amount of layers/nodes for a neural net? As a newcomer doing one of these machine learning MOOCs on his free time, it seems to me that it's about chucking in a load of parameters into a black box hoping for the best.
Yes, it is blocking my provision.
So, two things:

I'm sorry that you've gotten bitten because it's frustrating when it happens, but "if a package requires a peer dependency,it's probably not worth using" is some cargo-cult stuff. Anything that acts as a extension system (coded to an interface) should use the project it's extending as a peerDependency. They are not "global variables", they're interfaces. It's what you're writing against! If you end up in dependency hell because of them, that means your dependencies are not speaking to the same interface, and that means you need to resolve the problem. Which can suck, I guess, having to actually do some work as a programmer, but somehow I think we'll all muddle through. Because the alternative is to silently have different APIs that will later break because the extended system has changed, and that is rather worse than actually knowing what's going on in your system.

React is a system that exists to be extended. Peer dependencies exist to facilitate this. Understanding one's tools makes cargo-cult sweeping-statement fears about milquetoast stuff really just unnecessary.

Flatpak is whatever (it's fancy /opt, that's fine) but, "jumping outside the web world", I'll put on my platform-architecture-is-my-actual-real-job hat right now and point out that Docker, while certainly appropriate for some use cases, is, for example, happy to cost you money in production when your big ol' app (shouts to my 4GB-heap-before-taking-a-request Ruby clients) can't copy-on-write. (After all, each process is supposed to be isolated, right? I mean, that's what people think...) There are real drawbacks to this approach, it's orthogonal to actually writing code, and the analogy doesn't really hold besides.
I have the sneaking suspicion that if they'd remake ONLY the graphics, you'd hate it. The reason is that those hold games usually have horrendous gameplay/controls. You kind of accept it because they look old. But if they didn't, I think you'd notice it.

I wonder if Google will conduct a thorough internal investigation on the leak and on the internal opposition to this project? I would hate not to know if it indeed was fueled by non-US citizens from China, Russia and other countries with potentially nefarious intentions to raise the already left leaning 'general population' of their employee base to oppose our national interests (which Google as a US company rightfully should support).

Throwaway account (don't want my meager karma to be down voted to oblivion for speaking my mind).
If they're doing research, they'd need the negative reports for accuracy. KirinDave would be one data point among others in that. We know they exist since Nadia Eghbal did collect that information:

If anything, people should see the big picture of the range of experiences they might have so they're not being misled into getting into something that's a gamble. It might be good for them, it might be really bad, and it might be something in between. FOSS promoters don't usually sell it that way, though.
Yeah I don't think disallowing neo nazi talking points to spread like wildfire is "PC." I think that's just being sane and practical.
It does not violate any form of criminal law in South Korea if you answer positively to my answer above. It does not constitute any sort of libel/defamation since there is no exact name of Mr. Choi(age 24), in the article. Much less so, if you answer negatively. Maybe H person you said in your post is not this person, since in this article it was described as it was done by Choi alone and you said in your post that his friends were kicked out of the school, not H.
Some psychopath or group of psychopaths have already done this. If you try to research the disease, it goes into conspiracy land full of junk information so much that you won't be able to determine if the disease exists or not, by modifying the signal to noise ratio of useful information vs junk. Google Morgellions disease, you can't tell if its real or not. (I can't tell either) This is a purposeful psy-op campaign used by intelligence agencies called "poisoning the well". so this is a double-tap campaign: introduce a crazy disease, and increase fear/doubt/uncertainty about the science around it so people can't figure out if it is real or not.
Fake & marketing gimmick. As I quoted 6 months ago¹, when another article about the same thing was featured²:

Simple. Distributing MIT-licensed code without the original license disclosure is theft.
There is no “best”. A common thing to do is to fit a ton of models and then choose the best based on out-of-sample/CV performance, or a mix of top performing models.

I think it's difficult to weigh that sort of question without actually being the scientist in possession of the technology, believing it is safe and will be effective.

History probably gets written based more on whether it works out than on whether the decision was really morally sound based on what they knew about the safety.
No, no. You don't understand. That's the other side of the kitchen that was spitting in people's food last week. Your friendly waiter obviously got your food from the clean side this week! And it's clearly offensive to even ask whether your plate could have gotten near the known spitters, which is why he refuses to answer.

If there was a decent tablet made in the last 4-5 years that cost less than $250, I'd probably get it... my last one was the Nvidia Shield Tablet, which was nice, if a bit heavy, and the battery quickly stopped taking a charge... I haven't even turned it on in over a year. Before that was the Nexus 7, which was great, until OS updates made it run like a dog.

In the end, the shield has had better support than most, but that era of battery tech was just really bad. I don't want an iThing.
Because if it is possible to ascertain they are acting in good faith, there is no better collection of minds, money and official secrets suited to the task of designing a robust cipher. The problem is that it's somewhere between difficult and impossible to ascertain whether they are acting in good faith.
I see this question asked a lot on almost all tech-centric places on the 'net. I think it's a decent example of the "thought bubble" that happens in tech circles both online and off. Where is it that these people asking the question actually _go_ - in real life - that they don't see many people talking via voice on their phones? I ask because almost everywhere I go or practically have ever gone since cell phones became ubiquitous, up to and including this very morning, I come across multiple instances of people talking on their phones.
GP is alluding to the fact that any unprovable true statement about the integers has a counter-model for which the statement is false which the formal system cannot distinguish from the integers. Therefore no formal system characterizes the integers, there are always these false integers lingering.

These objects are highly pathological artifacts of the formal system in question, but that just goes to show how slippery the integers are.
The list from Softletter in the spolsky link kind of illustrated my point. Most of the editors I listed were big sellers until 1997 or so. And most of them are effectively dead with the exception of Slickedit. The reason I switched to vim was the lack of a decent text mode editor for Windows in the early 90s. I'd likely still be using Slickedit otherwise.
I'm feeling nostalgic. EDIF is one of the best editors I have used. Now, VIM is fine too :)
A solid answer would depend on:

- what it is your startup does

- how you process user data

- what third parties - if any - you draw upon to process that user data

If you process any user data at all (of users currently located in the EU, that is) the very least you need is:

- a privacy policy

- a list of your data processing activities

- a list of your technical and organisational measures for protecting user data

- a data processing agreement with every third party that processes user data on your behalf

I don't think there actually are, in practice.

How do you have any sort of "containment" on an anonymous forum? There's nothing at all stopping /b/ and /pol/ from stepping into any other board and either playing along or not. The only containment there is a state of mind.

FWIW, Hanselman has seen this thread. And while I have my disagreements with Hanselman, calling him dishonest or a shill is untruthful. Portlandian -- and all that goes with that -- sure, but the next time Hanselman says something mean about anyone will be the first time.
Geez, that article really felt light on examination, then bam, "the solution is obvious, tax the rich more!"

And why wouldn't they compare the US to other countries like Canada, Germany, UK, France, etc. ? We all already know that the Nordic countries really have their act together and are effectively a cherry picked example.

Maybe I'm being paranoid but is this what fake news looks like? The whole point of the article seems to be to further the "tax the rich" argument.

It has far less to do with the Linux base than the shear variety of chipsets with custom loaders needed for ARM architecture.
There is also no real need. Reduced round Salsa/ChaCha (12 rounds) is tiny and likely fast enough for the quantities of data any microcontroller would need to push over a network. Those ciphers were designed in the open and have been heavily analyzed with no attacks known against more than a few rounds. Why not use those?
Plenty of pixel based options that are actually quite nice, but the brilliance of Claris/MacDraw was its vector focus with a straightforward and powerful integration of interface and features.

Since you don’t give verifiable links to examples so we can judge for ourselves, and your reported experiences don’t match the majority’s, the rest of us are more or less forced to believe the simplest explanation:

There’s a known principle that goes “If you think that everyone around you is an asshole, they’re not the assholes, you are.”. This would be the simplest explanation in this case, since we don’t know anything else about you.

Of course, you could easily remedy this by posting enough examples to change our minds, but until you do, Occam’s razor must reign supreme.

This is a common problem in languages which allow the use of "not set" or "not found" indicators as an rvalue, which (sadly) is most of them. Put another way, Python's 'None' or Perl's 'undef' conflate the notion of 'something which has never been set' with the bottom (null) value, aka. the notion of 'the thing here is empty or not useful/usable'. That's a sad conflation to make because it confuses temporal/procedural effects (what has previously been done to this variable?) with contents (does this variable contain a usable value?)

JavaScript takes this to an even more ludicrous place by having both 'null' and 'undefined', putting them close to each other in the truth table, and allowing them both as rvalues.

Does anyone know of any procedural programming languages (or at least languages that encourage mutation, initialization-without-assignment, and rebinding) that have a) a special value for 'never accessed' and b) do not allow that value to be set, only read?
OK, so what's the workaround to read this behind a paywall?
One rationalisation is that hiring someone "too smart" for the work required means that they'll soon become bored and move on, so your effort invested in training them is wasted.

Multiple reasons, but a huge one is simply that, to be taken seriously, international standards bodies can't really ignore the biggest kid on the block. Even if the motives for doing so were pure as the driven snow, it would still be seen as a political decision, and now you're a national or maybe regional standards body.
