> it's kind of shitty to use someone's platform to push a competitor

I am sorry you felt that way. But to be honest, I don't feel that this is bad. I myself don't tell people to abandon Github and move to Gitlab. I just write a small guide to instruct people and whom I targeted happens to use Github a lot, so I put it there. Just that. And if you look carefully, I am a heavy Github user and I didn't stop or fully migrated from Github to Gitlab. I did not criticize anything about Github in the guide, also.
I'd like a search for things that I've read or seen in the last few days. Or years.

Yeah my comment was a bit trollish to get a discussion going. I actually prefer React over Angular, but React is overused a lot IMHO where a basic Ajax-y site would do and is much more adequate. Folks seem to over-engineer using React to pad their resumes.
Or the neighborhood gets more dense, economic activity increases, and your home value goes up. Greenwich Village ain't cheap.
I am wondering if GPU design are basically approaching the end and limited by smaller node and bandwidth. We don't see better performance per die / transistors any more . And hasn't been so for many years. The gain seems to be small.

Given Intel has had the lead in transistor density for years, and will continue to do so for at least a few more years, I wonder why Intel hasn't jump into this earlier.

The largest obstacle in GPU is actually the software and driver support. Especially in gaming. Middleware Engines has made this 10x easier. but it is still a fairly hard problem.

I wish they would call their new silicon as AGP; Advanced Graphics Processor. :P
Even the previous generation Phi's pack about 3.x peak GFLOPS per socket. Tuning HBM size and AVX512 pipelines can certainly help increase that, even if their 10nm is proving harder than expected. It's a matter of time before they can go full 10nm.
Sssshhhh, or you'll come up with another very real factor: the utter inability of people to accept the slightest compromise on anything. Quality, nope. Price, nope. Even just taking the delivery person's job into account a bit, nope.

Perhaps I should stop being surprised when hearing about people going into the emergency room because they have a scratch on their leg, then yelling and even attacking medical personnel to the point they get arrested when prompt treatment is not provided.

And then apply that attitude to actual people. Needless to say, they complain about that too, yet do nothing.
Yes. You now pay for users. Still a little annoying that there are no private repository on the free tier, as I'd like to move things over from bitbucket, but understandable given that less repositories would be open if they allowed it.
Thanks. A bit disappointed that I can't find an English version, but will keep my eyes open.

I like this suggestion. I added this toast and you should see it in the next release (probably tomorrow). Thanks for your feedback :)
I recently read this paper (http://sjha8.web.engr.illinois.edu/resources/DSN2018.pdf) from the dependable systems conference. Seems like AVs are no where near ready.

This is not just a Uber problem - it is pervasive across most manufacturers. The rate at which these AVs are getting better essentially means we won't have "human level" cars in a long time.
I understand why people make fun of this. It is obviously ironic. But I am happy most of the comments replying to yours speak out my intent. I neither "accidentally" put it on Github, nor make use of Github unethically to promote Gitlab.
See this is the problem. People just don't see giving other people a chance at a livable life as a factor in any decision.

Yes, it's probably less than ideal that tired drivers do this.

But, mostly, it's a very good thing that this person was able to survive and prevent another homeless family.

Let me guess, "the government should just provide for them ?" (without, of course, raising your taxes).
I'm surprised you think the price matters. It doesn't. It's an index fund. Crypto traders will trade it regardless if it's low or high. In fact it's probably even better to launch it now (low price = buying opportunity.)
i wonder what other side is possible here?

Can you justify that? It sounds like some sort of "efficient market hypothesis" but "efficient government" which isn't a phrase many people would use outside of a joke.

It easily could be that the "best" tax rate for whatever set of goals is actually 10% or 40%. Then if you live in a society where the applied rates go between 20 and 30% then there's no reason to think it is rational to say "up" or "down" half the time each.
Google Play deletes App without giving a helpful reason
Yes. In his book Waking Up, Sam Harris (yes, that Sam Harris), makes this same connection. He does it in a very sensitive way too, without suggesting psychedelics as a shortcut to mindfulness.

Edit: I've never experienced psychedelics myself, but have had been using mindfulness/meditation to come to terms with these same ideas.
A land tax trickles down as increased agricultural and housing prices. So it's strongly recessive, that is, it affects the poor to a much greater proportion than the rich.

The US before 1913 was a largely agricultural nation with strong equality due to fair capital allocation, free land distributed to homesteaders, manifest destiny and all that. Dispensing current means of income redistribution would mean reverting to a much more feudal, almost primitive state. The vast majority of people would have no agricultural property and no capital, just wages paid by immensely wealthy global capitalists that wouldn't owe any taxes.
9 things to know about CAR T-cell therapy
This uses react-native, I would not consider jumping on the Vue ship if you've been waiting for a native solution.
This seems more like a hack-y way of going about it.

Some other solutions are out there, one of the main ones being nativescript. However it feels like the community still hasn't "agreed" on a solution like React did.

To my knowledge, Vue still does not have anything official around native.

I would consider waiting for now, unless this proposed solution suits you.

(This doesn't mean you shouldn't start using Vue elsewhere however, I have been using it for the past few months at work on a pretty large-scale project and it is my favorite library by far, for many different reasons).
If there is no difference, there is no reason. What would be the difference?
Hell, if that lead to Oracle drivers for other languages, that could be amazing too. It's nearly incomprehensible to me why Oracle hasn't documented their protocol.
Do not fall for the romantic tales of psychonauts to reach some kind of enlightenment. All these people suffer from psychosis.

The human experience of the world (thoughts, vision, audition, pleasure, fear,...) is triggered by the nervous system (including the brain) that reacts on bio-chemistry.

Changing the bio-chemistry changes the human experience but gives no super powers. Most likely your thoughts on drugs are less smart but appear smart to you. Similar to other drug intoxications that disturb the normal brain activity and the sober judgement of your thoughts and experience of reality.

Granted, some people have been able to solve some of their problems with psychedelics because they are strong destabilizers.

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/how-doctors-tr...

I am in favor of using psychedelics as last resort medicine under supervision of a medical expert.

But I am against the promotions of psychedelics by people who are either lucky (no bad life changing effects for months or years because of drug induced trauma with PTSD or bad neuroplasticity) or suffer already from psychosis.

The rational numbers are physically real because you can compute them. They just map on to the naturals.
Regarding ggplot, matplotlib and seaborn I found the opposite. If you want some pre-canned visualisation then ggplot2 is fantastic, but as soon as you stray away from the examples it turns into a mess, you can't just drop down into base graphics but have to mess about with grob and grid.

Whereas seaborn has similar pre-canned plots, but it's all built on matplotlib so you still have that flexibility if you want it.
Nothing except you can add few more filters, basic image manipulation and add links to the photos.
That's true. They generally sell their previous generation and mine with the next generation hardware. That way they won't be left sitting with obsolete hardware like other mining companies.
This is my mates app. He spent days trying to investigating how he could be violation of their terms and has not been able to get a specific reason from Google. It appears to me that this must be a "false-positive" for a harmful app. But there isn't much he can do about it.

The UI and UX to me (the author of this guide) is something that I can get used to. I leave it for the reader to decide which one they feel comfortable, I don't want to force anyone to use something they don't like. My whole purpose is to introduce what Gitlab has got and presenting them on Github.

Frankly I find your view pretty offputting.

I’m not really that into the idea of JS-as-a-platform, but it obviously emerged because it fulfilled certain requirements that weren’t covered elsewhere.

The “way back” from this is for people like yourself to stop dismissing others’ work as “idiocy” and start building better solutions to these problems as you see them.
That makes perfect sense for getting extant Powerpoint users to consider moving to Keynote.
That's an interesting thought.

To expand on it: there exists an ecosystem of regulated RIAs, which are largely sales agents for investment opportunities who have some advisory and custodial functions. (Most would not describe themselves that way but...)

You can find one in your local office park. They exist at a wide range of firm sizes, but suffice it to say that one value of typical might be "100 clients, $50 million total assets under management, 2 advisors + 3~6 support staff." The prototypical customer is a mid-career dentist or middle-class retiree.

For that firm, some of their clients are accredited investors and some aren't, but the offering to them is, basically, "You've had people tell you in meetings for the last year I-want-to-be-in-on-Bitcoin. You've had to say no, because clearly you have no business doing Bitcoin custody and your lawyer/accountant would have a fit. We would happily let you buy ~$1 million of our basically-runs-itself Bitcoin product, which you'll move $15k here and $50k there to some of your client base. Your business model continues to be charging 1% of assets under management per year. Client need: satisfied. Impact to your firm: minimal. Future asset outflow to cryptocurrency: zero."
Thank you for your genuine reply.

Also, Huge fan of your work sir :) ooer.com
there's no reason to think it is rational to say "up" or "down" half the time each.

But is it rational to say “up” every time? If so what happens when you inevitably reach 100% and have nowhere to go? And if it’s that simple then economics is solved and we can fire all the economists too.

It may not be exactly half but “up sometimes, down sometimes” is far more likely to be a rational approach.
(Disclaimer: I am an Apache Solr committer and popularizer)

Search is interesting! And it is important to differentiate the web search (Google) and domain-specific search (Solr, Elasticsearch, recent release of http://vespa.ai/). You cannot tune Google to your domain needs and understanding.

For domain-specific search, the basics are there. Even the fancy "basics". It is now very easy to add search to one's stack. In fact, Solr is in so many stacks, it is not even mentioned much anymore. But we still get the contributions back from Cloudera, Bloomberg, Alfresco, etc.

So, the cutting edge in Search is now on personalization, relevancy-tuning, indexing non-text content (music, images, etc), multi-word semantic search, graph traversal and, yes, Machine-Learning. See, for example, https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_3/learning-to-rank.ht...

In fact, the Solr conference that used to be called Lucene/Solr Revolution is now Activate and has focus on ML/AI because the topics are really starting to overlap (https://activate-conf.com/). You can see the interesting topics from last conference: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU6n9Voqu_1FMt0C-tVNF...

Learning (Solr at least) is a different issue. There are so many features now that the Reference Guide is absolutely enormous. And the demo schemas are still a bit of a kitchen sync, making it look more complicated than it needs to be. And, the last comprehensive book was several versions back. Again, that's because Solr is big and is growing really fast still...

Actually that's why I chose to be a popularizer within the Solr community and focus on making it easier for beginners to start.

See, for example, my latest presentation slides at: https://www.slideshare.net/arafalov/rapid-solr-schema-develo... and the backing configuration repo: https://github.com/arafalov/solr-presentation-2018-may (includes smallest viable useful schema)

(tl;dr) Search is still exciting, lots of cutting edge cool stuff, and there are people trying to make it easy for beginners to start.
I would love to see a sharing about your own experience. I never got the chance to run it the self-hosted way.
Great topic. Part of the issue is probably a transition from algorithmic approaches to data-driven approaches. What did previous users search for and click on? Existing companies have a huge advantage from years of data, and not the kind of advantage that others can learn from (compare to publishing a better algorithm). Another factor may be that parts of the problem can separated out and are studied on their own, such as natural language processing.
That makes perfect sense for getting extant MS Word users to consider moving to Google Docs.
I think the analogy does not hold. The reason these railroads are so well developed is because they lead to land the operator owns. If I apply the analogy, ISPs will develop infrastructure only if it leads to content they own. In other words, they have a strong incentive to throttle access to others' content, which is not an option available to railroad operators.

Presumably these middleboxes have some critical density.

If google deploys 1.3 and 50% of corporate users can no longer reach google's services, that would be seen as google's mistake. Moreover, that would hurt google quite a lot.

The issue is that these boxes are already deployed, and it wasn't noticed just how shitty they were until we tried to deploy 1.3 . The system has essentially rusted shut.

Sometimes I wonder the same. Maybe they think it's hard to change something in an enterprise? Or they are afraid of losing the enterprise customer (because Microsoft works here!). Or just don't want to use their influence to evolve the protocol?
Surprised there's no mention of Pyrrhus of Epirus. He was a Greek, fighting Romans and winning (though obviously at heavy cost, hence the term). He was using the Phalanx system as well.

Hannibal rated him as up there with Alexander as one of the greatest generals ever.
No, it's not legal to offer this investment opportunity to non-millionaires, as the SEC has closed off your option #2. There have been several very serious efforts at regulatory compliance, involving big players in traditional finance, that have been rebuffed. Bitcoin index funds are not allowed to do public offerings right now, no matter how much compliance and disclosure they do.

Not that I think it would be a great idea for anyone to sink their life savings into Bitcoin right now, but I think the SEC could do their job protecting investors without literally creating a 2-class system of rich privileged people and restricted poor people. For example, they could set limits on the percentage of your income or net worth you could invest in risky opportunities. That would allow people of all income levels to participate.
Sure, my point is that we are not really imagining it. It's like a 12 old imagining he could do his homework by tapping a magic wand, not realizing that possessing such a magic wand would make the whole concepts of homework, school or teachers irrelevant.

Something can be random and not have a uniform distribution. If I throw two dice, the sum will be random, but it will not be uniformly distributed. Uniform is just one distribution among meny.

The only definition of "randomness" in a sequence that holds any kind of water, philosophically or mathematically, is Kolmogorov complexity [0] (see specifically the section on "Kolmogorov randomness"). I don't know where you got the idea that "normalness" is the ultimate version of randomness, but it's not.

Forget the formal definition for a second, and just think of the intuitive notion of randomness for a second: does the sequence 12345678.... look random to you? In random sequences there should be no patterns: do you see a pattern in this sequence? If you had a computer program with a random number generator that produced that sequence of digits, would you be happy with it? No, you wouldn't.

In the sense of Kolmogorov randomness, the sequence 1234567.... is obviously not random at all, since it's trivial to find a Turing machine to generate it. It matches up perfectly with out intuitive notion of what randomness is, and it quite correctly points out that the amount of information in the string is very low, even though it's infinitely long. That is my definition of randomness, and it's (more or less) the author of this paper's definition.

You're absolutely right that it might not reflect physical reality. I don't think it's known whether space is fundamentally discrete or not. But I can definitely say that continuous space meshes a lot more with my experience as a human being, and that because of that, the real numbers are motivated by more than just taking square roots. They model the human experience of space.
"Search" is too broad to ever be solved. That's like "solving entropy".

Google focused on a specific subset — you enter a few keywords or a phrase, and the machine returns the top ~10 links to pre-existing (indexed) web pages. But that's not all there is to search!

Challenges:

1. Intranets: internal documents, typically in different modalities (FAQs, support cases, wikis, public pages) and across diverse storages that evolved throughout the years via acquisitions and osmosis.

2. Clustering: you don't have any keywords, but rather want to find how a particular document (legal template, its clause section) evolved over time. You want to avoid using keywords. Search for similar documents or document sections. Find similarity between two documents that is based on semantics rather than query keywords. Applications: eDiscovery, contract management…

3. SME & Intent: "relevant result" means different things in different domains, or even different aspects of a single domain. Google is doing an amazing job with their "single search box", but there are industries (for example, HR) where search precision matters much more than recall. More elaborate, focused, domain-specific facets or even dialogue systems make sense there.

Commercial plug: we built a search solution focused around semantic search (in the "machine learning and vectors" sense, not "sematic web and RDFs" sense), https://scaletext.ai. It's still early days in that our clients are all over the place, but to say Google/Lucene solved search is patently false.
Creating a decent Laravel deploy script
It's a mixture of clever marketing and wishful thinking (the "tablet era" hasn't arrived after all, everybody is using notebooks for work).

However, as others said, some people actually use iPads only. A good example is my mother. She was using it for a few months, but then the memory got filled up with photos and she asked for advice. I told her to back up the device using a computer. "I don't have one", she said. Then the battery started to degenerate and so on. It's clear to me you can use these tablets as simplified notebooks/PCs, but sooner rather than later you reach their limits, and at that point thing can get costly. I can get a 2TB HDD for my Mac Pro for 50€, good luck with that kind of storage on any kind of iPad.

> It's not. Most accident avoidance is pure braking.

This is false. "Accident avoidance" also means being constantly aware of your surroundings and slowing the car down before an incident (like a person suddenly getting in front of your car) might happen. This strategy was actually posed as a question on my driver's exam test: What should you do if you see a bunch of kids playing on the sidewalk close to the road? Correct answer: You should slow down, because the kids might suddenly hop in front of you. The same goes for bicyclists.
In most of Europe, at least in the part of it where I've lived, you have both types of stores. If the store has a separate back, you only 1-2 sizes of each model on display. If the store doesn't or it's too small, you have 1-2 sizes on display next to a more or less organized pile of shoe boxes.

I think the main reason for either is whether the store is built one way or another.
