Exactly why a gap buffer, piece table and zipper are a thing. These structures are optimized exactly for local modification, especially chunked or contiguous. These are semi-contiguous structures.

At some point with bigger data you will hit the brick wall where the memory move is too expensive. This is typically at a bunch of megabytes in size for localized block inserts. The idea of these only slightly more advanced structures is to amortize the cost or defer it.

For instance, a gap buffer is essentially 3 vectors/arrays. Piece table is a few more, merged as needed, usually few. A zipper can mix contiguous (potentially heap) access with tree structuring for rarely modified or accessed parts.

As for iterator stability. Either the structure knows about a active iterators (expensive) and fixes them up or you should probably use plain old pointers as such.
Bet you didn't know you can and should use a pointer as an iterator to a contiguous memory... And if you really for some reason do need to hold stable iterators to anything, std::array is good enough. Remember you cannot safely resize due to potential for memory copies on reallocation. (yes there are tricks, no they're very not cheap nor threadsafe nor concurrent)
The consistency model of ivector iterators is not quite explicit.

A contract in the US can't override tort law. Material change without consideration is de facto no go.

This is pretty standard torts 101. You can say whatever you want in a contract but that doesn't mean the clause is valid. Furthermore ToS fall under sticker contracts which have a different level of scrutiny especially in regards to material changes post facto.

YouTube knows this. This is why they are trying to get Blender to sign a new contract. If your claim above was correct, YouTube would of simply already monetized the channel and unblocked the videos.
The Making of an Online Moral Crisis
Well, it makes it seem that "preventing" means something different to you than it does to me.

Perhaps you could clarify your point a bit?
Really? Is that what you've taken away from the Maven debate?

It's a number of observations. It's only natural that a company like YouTube would seek to monetize and shift towards the mainstream. It's what they are doing with the long tail and the creative margins which is suspect.
"keeping in mind that rumour that Facebook was removing RN from some of their projects"

Where are you getting that from? The React Native team at Facebook just put out a roadmap that seemed to indicate they were still very committed to the project and investing in it:

http://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2018/06/14/state...

"At Facebook, we're using React Native more than ever and for many important projects. One of our most popular products is Marketplace, one of the top-level tabs in our app which is used by 800 million people each month. Since its creation in 2015, all of Marketplace has been built with React Native, including over a hundred full-screen views throughout different parts of the app."

I halfway disassembled it, and I knew I could do it, I just value my free time more than that (I'd rather spend the $400 to have my weekend). The other concern is a heating element is a relatively simple thing, so for that to go out after 3 years, I was concerned other things would go out too, making me have to fix it again.
> trying to solve a problem which does not exist

There are multiple instances of internet service providers blocking VOIP in order to promote their telephone services, among other violations of net neutrality. They mostly got shut down by the FCC, until the FCC was sued claiming they didn't have the power to do this as internet wasn't title 2.

Basically the problem didn't exist only because it was regulated against. Now it is no longer regulated against.

> Once this is possible it is a temptation so great for the US Government(or any other Govertment) and status quo to resist

You emphasized Government but most surveillance in countries like the U.S. and Australia/NZ is done by the status quo of self-styled "community leaders" spread across business, media, academia, religion, sports, and government. They informally network with one another in bar drink ups, legal war rooms, and prayer meetings, as well as surveil their targets and disseminate their messages via misled employees. Workers at internet providers, government departments, and vehicle leasing businesses provide customer data to associates and "friends" all the time, and a wide variety of channels such as news stories, entertainment, and social media are used to spread manufactured narratives. When you add the extent of this informal network to the formal U.S. government surveillance and interference, it could equal the extent of China's. Such American and Australian actors also frequently network with their "Chinese counterparts".

I have a lot of bare metal servers in a rack at my home.. Tried getting kube running well last night actually.. Well if you're using Ubuntu server 18.04 GOOD LUCK. There's plenty of issues in the various repositories around kube. I eventually just tried using Canonical's conjure-up tool to install kube.

You'd think that Canonical's tools would work on their LTS right? wrong.. absolutely wrong. It couldn't even do an openstack install either. Absolutely abysmal.
From the commit message, it sounds like that might not necessarily be the case: "Note that SMT doesn't necessarily have a posive effect on performance;

Seems like a low quality article to me.

1. If you have leaked data to an unencrypted partition, then simply deleting it will not hide it from forensics experts.

2. There are many vectors in which an _application_ (because that is what we are talking about) can leak data to unexpected locations. This isn't even one of the more subtle ones, in fact it is expected, and probably present on every major os.

3. The article baits fear mongering and conspiracies.

This seems like it could dramatically worsen overfitting-like effects for algorithms like CNNs for image processing, where surface statistics of the available data set seem to be more responsible for the learned model than any type of “semantic” understanding.

If you prespecify what data augmentation you would do, like preregistering the details of a clinical trial, you’ll be less susceptible to a spurious result from this.

It seems like especially things like color distribution manipulation would have a potentially very adverse effect that counters any gains from clamping the supervised learning to be “robust” to that color variation.

Ask HN: How to Raise Money for Healthcare SaaS at Idea/concept Stage?
I have an idea for Healthcare that makes hospitals become the insurer, taking out the middleman, while covering more people locally, and also without the hassle of hiring medical billers.

The SaaS is essentially a networked billing solution to act as the intermediary between multiple hospitals and auto-bill patients monthly.

Development for something like this -- to cover legal, and hipaa, etc is going to be somewhat costly - if it succeeds it could revolutionize healthcare in America, even negate the need for Single-payer healthcare.

How does one approach Angel's or Vc's on an 'idea' only?

Right now it's just a concept, as I have a family to feed so can't devote much time to this because I'm business doing freelance dev work.
It is not, if the part was easier to replace I probably would have done that. However I was concerned other things would go out if the heating element died (it's not a complicated part, so I question the workmanship on it). I really wish I did not have to go to grey sources to get a spare part and the service manual, and that they would be designed with repairability in mind, I would pay extra for that.

My company has a Slack bot product and we've found that we are able to drive lots of clicks the "Add to Slack" button but a very low percentage complete the installation.

Our assumption is that this is because most users that get to the "Add to Slack" button are not administrators and most users won't go through the (frankly poorly designed) "find an administrator" flow... but of course we have no visibility into what happens after the user clicks "Add to Slack" as they leave our control at that point.

Did you have a similar experience and/or do you any advice?
Hmmm, I wonder what the long-term effects of this will be if the tariffs stay in place for a while. 25% is a huge bump.

I can see two major effects:

1) Lots of the "last screw" manufacturing will move to other countries and then imported into the US. Due to IP concerns it will probably move to countries with good IP protections such as the EU, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc. I can't say much for the other countries but it would be a boon to Canada (longer term anyway, it will be painful in the short term) providing diversification from the natural resource economy that Canada has too much of, and an incentive for the top talent to stop coming down to the US for the most interesting jobs.

2) Except in the case where US production is more than 25% more expensive than offshore, the domestic US industry for these components and raw materials will grow (this is probably Trump's goal). The "last screw" manufacturing that stays within the US will be much more expensive due to the higher input costs.

Since I am inclined to believe that the quantity of talent/expertise for high-tech manufacturing is higher outside the US than in, the effect of #1 will be much larger than the effect of #2. But I could be wrong, the US has pretty fantastic network effects and world-class talent, I wouldn't discount their ability to innovate just yet.
One of the huge problems with YouTube etc is the centralised nature means normal methods of telling good from bad are limited.

Recently the Peppa Pig shock videos thread started up again. As a parent it does worry me - but if we had to visit "grot-peppa-porn-1234.com" before viewing the video instead of choosing "bbc.com" I think managing the problem would be easier.

That’s a poor generalization. A company, as a legal entity, is incapable of caring. But a company, as an organization comprised of people, can.

At Facebook’s scale, it would be very difficult for their employees to care particularly for any individual user, but collectively, it’s not out of the question.
Working at large companies like these, it is clear that many of their own applications never use these technologies. Why then is FB investing into such technology? Where do they plan to use it?

(OP) Switzerland is not a member of the EU. Do you see any claim in my post that Switzerland is a member of the EU?

Nonetheless, Switzerland has a relationship with the rest of the EU that is analogous to the relationship between a small, dense US state and the rest of the USA.

Nonetheless, Zurich has a relationship with the rest of the EU that is analogous to the relationship between NYC and the rest of the USA.

This issue of whether Switzerland is properly considered "part of" the EU regardless of its membership status seems like quite the diversion from my actual point and is not at all relevant to the parallel I was drawing.

I think it's a good idea to initially assume most things you read were written in good faith, just to see if it's possible. At the very least it will make your life more pleasant.

In this case, is it possible the author doesn't want you to forget about the shocking numbers of people killing themselves with opiates? Perhaps they wanted to illustrate one reason the opioid epidemic is such a difficult problem, and why doctors keep prescribing opioids in such high numbers. Maybe they wanted to demonstrate that opioids are capable of doing some good, and shouldn't be completely banned or too aggressively limited for everyone. I can't read their mind, but I think it's a useful life skill to assume everyone you meet is a generally good person until they prove you wrong.
I started my career from one of such consulting companies. I was naive back then. I thought I am a developer/engineer and this is how software industry is. Now, I actively avoid them. The culture in these companies is horrible. I would rather prefer to work for a small innovative company than working for these body shops.
> for sure it's awesome to have tamper proof asset registries on the blockchain that are compatible worldwide

For one thing, the blockchain doesn't provide tamper proof asset registries because the blockchain can be forked (see the DAO fiasco for proof).

Second "temper proof asset registeries" aren't actually a problem that really needs to be solved. The hard part of any registry is making sure the data that goes in is valid.... and that is a meatspace warm-fuzzy-human problem, not a technical problem.
So... they "strongly suspect" (but don't know and haven't shown) there may be a Spectre-class bug enabled by current HT implementations and improving their scheduler is hard, so they'll pre-emptively disable HT outright on Intel CPUs now and others in the near future?

I'm not an OpenBSD user (and glad for it, if this is anything to go by), but I'm curious - is this really how they operate, or does this decision stand out?
> Decode the mono video and use the disparity map to interpolate the view of either eye.

By "disparity map" are you thinking something like a heightmap applied to the scene facing the viewer and then you use that to skew things for each eye?

If so, how would that handle parts of the scene that are occluded/revealed to one eye but not the other?
>This suggests a long-term compromise solution where threads within a process can use hyperthreading to share a core, but threads in different processes can't. Given that hyperthreads share L1 cache, this might also be better for performance.

Intuitively this may sound logical, however in practice it's often not the case. For many workloads putting two threads of the same program on a core ends up being worse than co-locating with threads from different programs. The reason is that two threads of the same program will often end up executing similar instruction streams (a really good example is when both are using vector instructions (these registers are shared between the two hyperthreads)).

You think horrifyingly painful medical conditions are extremely rare, or you doubt they exist? Or both?

If so (as you suggest above), what a sheltered existence you have led! Consider yourself fortunate that neither you nor your family has suffered from a painful chronic neurological condition, or cancer, or other such disease.

I've had a family member die from opiate overdose, but I've also have two family members die of cancer and who were brutally undertreated for pain because of the current regulatory insanity doctors deal with now.
It's fascinating living long enough to see things come full circle.

Back in the 1980s, people were severely under-treated for pain. Things changed and being on opioids long-term was OK in certain circumstances. Now we've come full circle and people in pain are being denied effective treatments, all in the name of moral panic.

Rinse...and repeat.
A new asic-resistant cryptocurrency project webchain.network
You could mine it on your own computer and enjoy lower hash rate before it’s added to CoinIMP. This is the first time they announce this information and you are the first one to learn about it. I would advise to use this opportunity and buy it at this incredibly low price.

This is CPU minable, ERC20 and ERC223 compatible coin with Smart Contracts and DApps. You don’t need special hardware to have an acceptable hash rate. It’s the only Smart Contracts enabled cryptocurrency that is CPU minable and together with CoinIMP it’s going to revolutionize website profitability.

You check out their guide(https://webchain.network/start) on How to Start or visit bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3649170.0

I'd be interested to see your stats comparing the two crash rates. Note that you have to compare equal conditions; most self-driving tests are done in unrealistically good ones. (Which is fine for pilot programs, but makes the stats hard to compare.)

But you're already no-true-scotsmanning your way to giving the self-driving cars unrealistically good scores. Yes, a cause behind the Uber crash is indeed Uber disabling a safety system they thought unnecessary. But we have no reason to believe some other companies aren't also either turning off or just never adding safety systems.
