So, is this picking up on large landmarks which are visible in StreetView? Sun position in imagery? In Manhattan can it see a sign reading W 53rd St and know whether to go north or south to its destination? The paper suggests that there are learned landmarks, but doesn't talk about street signs at all. As a New Yorker, that would be the first method I would use to reach a destination.
People often lump freelance/contingent work and the "gig economy" together, but they're actually two different things. Yes, both are often used to avoid the cost of taxes and benefits, or to gain flexibility and not have to lay off regular workers if the business doesn't thrive. However, freelance and contingent work has generally been about hiring people who chose to work under those terms, to accept the uncertainty and some of the costs in return for gaining their own kind of flexibility or a higher hourly wage. The gig economy to a large degree seems to rely on a pool of involuntarily unemployed (or under-employed) people who would very much prefer to have a more regular job with a more regular paycheck if only they could find one. If the economy, or economic policy, changed so that there were more decent jobs available, the freelancers and contractors would go on as they always have but the gig workers would all bail and the gig-economy companies would have to make some serious adjustments to stay in business (if that would even be possible in such a different labor environment).
I fully agree with you. While I can't speak for Keras, after reading [1] it seems Tensorflow would very much benefit from strong types. You'd easily be able to catch most of the errors presented in the article with higher-kinded and linear types, and maybe you don't even need that much power.

Asked this on the other posting of this but, does anyone know when Kubernetes will stabilise their IPv6 support? Anyone using / planning to use this in production?
I would say a more intuitive/modern interface. I did not know ePub was a general standard as I had always used it in the context of Apple books.
While I agree with you, the big difference (I think) is that you burn a significant portion of your savings on the down payment. So that cash is no longer available to cover your monthly costs if you lose your job.
“Todays programmers”: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this isn't new. My father (DB engineer, now on the verge of retirement) has been complaining about that for almost two decades now!

Just as a reminder, Hibernate is 17 years old :).

Also, modern ORM frameworks give ways to iterate on the data from the programmers language, but translated directly to SQL. See what [Diesel](http://diesel.rs/) does, for instance.

The paper talks about other issues, which comes from negligence or a lack of understanding of the performance costs of the queries. But this performance impact could aslo happen in a SQL-only environment (not using a framework won't help you to create indexes, or to add pagination to your queries).
This is absolutely not true. I called O365 yesterday (well, they called me at my request) to investigate a potential data breach. All the guy on the phone could do was to read to me out of a technicians manual and then suggest I purchase the Azure Active Directory P2 plan at $9/user/month.
"in context" just means "after reading the entire article and discovering that the headline is clickbait"
It depends on your perspective. A lot of people bought in 3 or 6 months ago and aren’t happy. Of course people who did that weren’t used to speculating and so are unhappy now that they lost substantial sums.

It’s significant news, but not really changing any of the fundamentals that I see.

Bitcoin will become a useful currency when it is stable for long periods of time. It doesn’t matter if that consistency is at 6k or 20k or 10.
... unless you have a "pre-existing condition"
I don't know if I can explain why a review from a patient isn't information that reduces the problem space. To me, it offloads the complexity of the initial problem to another constructed variant.

As analogy, suppose I tell you to only focus on information coming from other corporations about 'big data' and what these organizations are going to do with your data. From that, derive whether their security practices are held at a high standard.

You can't know these things until things proving to the contrary happen. Likewise, I can't know whether my personal experience in a psychologist office is going to be similar or different from another patient - yielding the same results (what is the goal?). Every single statement spoken in the office of a mental health care professional - all of these things matter to the psychologist, and I am aware of that (psychology can't cure neurosis because psychology is neurotic). Every single behavioral mannerism, every quirk, every habit. All 'data' collected, to yield diagnosis. The psychologist themselves might reason themselves out of that belief by telling themselves 'I ignore it, I validate my theories against the science' but the science is mutable because the mind has no set definition that is 'valid' and 'correct' with respect to a standard. They are not God - they do not have omniscience on the definition of mental wellness, mental clarity. I've had counselors tell me it's weird that my 'grounding' techniques are thinking about reality and math. They are not programmers, computer scientists, mathematicians!

It's the same as you worrying about every single statement or bit of information you divulge on the internet. Could be worried about all of it, could shrug it all off. Could go into a psychologist's office and not worry about any of that. Won't, because it fundamentally conflicts with my core values, self identity, principles, beliefs - things I need for my mental health, sanity, security, things that keep my future stable and under my control (being able to reason correctly with respect to code). Conflating all of that with a neurotic obsession over the functioning of my mind? Just as bad, if not worse, as having shit security with data. Data can't predict the future. It's a choice to trick oneself into that belief. That's the problem with these organizations that yields mental peace. Collect all the data they want! It controls their minds more than it controls mine.
In addition to all of these valid complaints, it's also loud!
There is a huge misconception about the value of screening in the general population. It doesn't do what most people think it does. Even with emotional adjustment it is entirely unclear that screening for things like cancer is ever good for the patient. Look at work by the oncologist Vinay Prasad: https://www.bmj.com/content/352/bmj.h6080
Yep there's a ton! The one you've linked I have seen before as well
The Earth has 5-10 billion years left at most, whatever we do to it (unless we reach the point of being able to change its orbit). Less if we're unlucky and get hit by an asteroid etc.. So there's no such thing as truly sustainable, only "good enough".
Each one of these concerns is making me clutch to my early Macbook Air. I'm terrified to upgrade. In fact, a colleague recently purchased a Macbook Pro and I steered them clear of the touchbar.
> There are bound to be people on every message board claiming to have run Linux for years if not decades without any of the issues I'm seeing on a daily basis and have been seeing for decades on scores of different laptops.

Unless you think they are lying, it's an interesting observation. It could just be you are incredibly unlucky (a few samples in the global population will have problems, just like a few will never experience any, even on Windows). It would seem to me the distribution hump is rather on the relatively problem-free area (my mom is on Linux since the early 2000's and never had serious issues - of course, she doesn't use off-distro repos, doesn't compile her own kernel and isn't running either Sid or Rawhide), considering most people who run Linux are tech-savvy enough to get themselves in trouble. I myself had a couple desktops without sound in the late 90's but, since I switched mostly to laptops without any fancy components (such as multiple GPUs, smart-card readers, fingerprint scanners, stereo cameras...) I haven't seen a machine that doesn't run Ubuntu flawlessly.
I can't really answer at the macro level, but I really don't think this is just a knee jerk reaction to 'change'. Just personally :

* I don't miss the CD rom at all - even at the time. I think that was a totally valid design change

* I love QC35's and BT headphones in general, the convenience is undeniable

* I even like a bunch of soundcloud mumble rap, that's supposed to be anathema to my generation

* All that said, I can't stand the new Apple keyboard, it completely ruins typing, which is sort of a fundamental part of using a computer

I guess I'm saying it's possible to appreciate some change, while not appreciating other would-be innovations. I really have a hard time seeing how this keyboard is in any way a positive change - there isn't really much benefit to having a bad keyboard. It's all negatives, unless saving a literal couple of millimeters in machine thickness is somehow super desirable.

> changing the declaration order of a struct can silently break code that uses it

This is terrible for safety. Which is not surprising in a long line of questionable language design choices made for C++.
a person may want to die with what they came into this world with.

Reminds me of the grandmother in Uri Orlev's book, who insisted on burning every fingernail clipping, as otherwise their souls would be stuck on Earth seeking for them after death.

In the end, nobody old enough to make that decision dies with what they came with - the body changes too much over the years. But then again, we allow everyone to destroy their organs with drugs, dangerous sports, sitting for most of the day, etc. It would be hypocritical to deny others the equivalent choice.
Yes it is.

I do it with kubeadm and metallb (for my public ip) I'm not sure how good ip failover will work on hetzner/ovh, but on your own hardware in your own network it is not a problem.

(K8s does not need backups, only your etcd and configs should be backupped but it is unlikely that you loose your whole control plane in one step.)
> Second best? Are you considering PrEP? Because that has the significant downside of being very expensive

PrEP is not very expensive. In th US, in fact, almost everyone is able to get it for free.

> as well as a few side effects, some of which can be significant

The side effects are incredibly rare, except for people just starting a regime, when they may experience mild symptoms.

> Abstaining has the significant downside of not having sex

Abstinence isn't considered a means of prevention because telling people "be abstinent" doesn't work. We have the data to prove it.

> Now how high would that tax need to be to so that everyday goods would dump plastic? And what would that mean for other uses of petroleum?

Charge what it costs to clean up, and spend the tax on cleaning it up.

> The problem is that not every use is equal, some are more necessary than others

That's exactly why the price mechanism works - the necessary uses will continue to happen even at a higher price, while the frivolous ones will stop.
‚Story of Your Life‘ is not a time-travel story
If it were only the battery, I'd replace it, but getting a new system will also scratch the itch to upgrade hardware specs. There's also some piece rattling around inside the case which must have broken off early on... (to my point about fragility compared to macbooks)
I don't think anyone ever imagined a use for imaginary numbers either, but those turned out to be quite useful for reducing dimensionality. Towards the bottom of the article it states that Donald Knuth proposed imaginary base numerical systems.

So this may eventually find a use, likely with higher-dimensional math.
I agree. In the first few months of my CS degree, first exposition to programming languages ever, and it was Pascal. Then they quickly moved to C, but at least that first impression was done with a leaner language that allowed us to concentrate on what is programming, what are common imperative language constructs, etc. without worrying much about fine details of the machine. I don't think I'd have grasped too well all that new information if I also had to be distracted with understanding all subtle gotchas and details of the C language.
There is a lot of shared cultural capital, you just have to visit the various art museums, you are just as likely to find French, Dutch and Spanish painters in Vienna as you are in Paris. The old European elites all shared a common culture, references to Roman and Greek mythology, Christian faith, a common style of literature etc. For a long time they even had a common language, Latin, later on everyone learned at least French and sometimes German and English. It also has clearly identifiable cultural centres, for the most part the capitals of the historically dominant military and political powers Vienna, Paris, Berlin etc. Nationalism is only a very brief phase compared to the long rule in Europe of a few dynasties (Habsburg in most of Central Europe, Spain, Italy and Low Countries). Personally I don't think one necessarily needs deeper fiscal and political integration (although the Euro architecture is clearly broken, but might be fixed in other ways), just better messaging and a shared European identity.
The 11 inches MBA is the best laptop for me. If they just upgrade the processor to the latest gen, and the screen to retina I'd upgrade to that in a heart beat.

Is having an Hobson's choice worse than having no choice at all?

Someone having to choose between selling a kidney or starving is terrible. But the solution shouldn't be to deny the first option - that just leaves starving. It should be to give them a third option.

That said, obviously "no rules" would still be dangerous, but no legal sale is done without any rules.
Ok, now this would be kind of wild. Is there any real substance to this acquisition rumor? It's one thing for Facebook to want that easy money from the adverts, but it's a whole different ball game to want to get into the crypto space like this. Why wouldn't they just roll out their own crypto?
Velma: Real-Time Solidity Debugger with VS Code Integration
Yes thank you. What I meant was does it also have grid? Grid seems to be more useful than flexbox in most cases.
I've got a 2012 MBP which doesn't have much in the specs department, so it never gets used. I use my early 2015 MBP from work for my work and personal stuff, I check MacRumours regularly praying that Apple will have come to their senses and make a proper MBP again.

When I leave this job I'll have the choice between using my 2012 MBP or buying a 2015 model off of eBay, it's a sad state of affairs, and every power user that uses a Mac laptop is in the same boat.
The UK market had a lot of "cheap" machines, perhaps compared to the US. They were of course more expensive than today's cheap machines, but you could get a ZX81 for under £50 if you were prepared to assemble it yourself - £70 for a ready-built one.
That makes no sense as policy. 1 cubic metre of landfill space costs the same whether you fill it with "recyclable" or "non-recyclable" items.
A friend from University has spent the last ~15 years working in the organ donation site of ER medicine.

They actually spend more time trying to revive a donor and doing everything they possibly can because of misconceptions like what you said above. She is quite certain that if anything, being a donor actually increases the likelihood of you being revived by medical staff, who would much rather revive you than have to deal with people telling them they didn't try hard enough.

So true. Earlier in meetings we can go about silently browsing or replying to emails. But now the keyboard is so loud that we have to apologize to the speaker!
It totally depends on what you want to succeed. In our case, for example, we break our python code into microservices so it is more important documenting the APIs rather the code itself. If you are building complicated libraries, yes sphinx is the choice to go. Most important of all is to understand your deployments and your code lifecycle.
Yes, normal cases protect very well against drops on flat surfaces but can be foiled by a misplaced rock. This video doesn't show how the "airbag" handles that scenario though.
It's actually really easy. My standard test for potential recruiters: Tell me something about myself. This takes a tiny amount of work -- anybody who has my email address can google me and find a huge amount of stuff. A recruiter who is not bothered to do that will not be bothered to find a job that's good for me.

When I find a good recruiter, I stick with them (as long as I'm shopping in the area that they deal with). I make sure they know that. If a recruiter is good enough that they can value a long term relationship as opposed to frantically trying to meet their sales targets every month, then they are a good recruiter.

The downside is that there are practically no good recruiters ;-). If I'm seriously looking for a job, I look as hard for recruiters as I do for a job. Often I find the job before the recruiter.
Is this slight advantage worth compromising the machines main input device for?
I'd be interested in your definition of complete beginner? As I think some of the language could be simplified further. For instance:

> Think of HTML as the abstract text and images behind a web page, CSS as the page that actually gets displayed

Is actually quite a nuanced way of looking at a webpage. What does 'abstract text' mean to an absolute beginner? And it makes CSS sound like what I imagine people intuitively would think HTML is. As in HTML is the content that gets displayed and CSS is what adds colour, structure, design etc. It also sounds like images are HTML, but maybe I'm nitpicking a bit too much.

Regardless, it's a good effort and no doubt a useful resource for the right learner.
So what's stopping poor trailer park whites (at least a significant portion of which have been poor for generations) to become "contributors to society"?

Why do you think illegal/undocumented migrants would do better than those supposedly born into privilege?

Why would they also do better than african americans or hispanics, who are already at least 2nd generation migrants (and most are probably much more "rooted" than that) and are still not doing so hot?

Both them and poor whites are at least native speakers and share the same culture with the majority of the country.

> by then hopefully they go to school, and start contributing to society.

That's a pretty big if. It also assumes a utopian world (or at least an utopian country) that is crime free and that by extension, ethnic criminal organizations also do not exist.
I love the nitrokey stuff. If you want some practical examples, see the articles I wrote on the different models: https://raymii.org/s/tags/nitrokey.html - both HSM, Pro, start (which is a gnuk stick).

It will be really funny if there is some bit of new, undiscovered physics, that went undiscovered for so long just because it's best described using some esoteric maths like complex base numbers.

Highly unlikely, but fun to think about.
You could run Kubernetes on a Raspberry Pi cluster using the Hypriot distribution.
FWIW: my initial instinctive reaction to the MD part was most definitely negative.
And so, for that matter, can we from the cold, benighted, Germanic north.
Thanks, just saw it being discussed in another thread. I'd want the black or dark gray one though. Its a big expensive IMO, but I'll consider it once more in a while.
1) If you're willing to do some custom setup, it's quite easy to spin up Kubernetes on bare metal or an OVH VPS using kubespray or kubeadm.

3)IMHO even for small setups because you buy into a <pseudo standard> ecosystem.
Backups can be handled for example by stash[0] instead of having to (partially) write your own backup solution.

4)I haven't tried this on OVH, but as it's a openstack based environment certain items are well integrated e.g. persistent volume handling [1]

> Is careful sorting of trash/recycling really a good use of time?

Price mechanisms let you answer that question yourself. Say you have 5 bags' worth of rubbish of which 3 bags' worth is recyclable. You can either spend the time to sort the one from the other, or you can pay for 2 extra bags.

I have been to the US, New York, New Jersey and Florida. Given the length and density of settlement in the first two there’s probably not a more bicycle hospitable part of the US. I would be terrified to cycle there. Bicycling magazine’s website supports your contention less than you might imagine. It’s for hobbyists, people who bike for exercise and who tour. Most Europeans who cycle do so as a mode of transport, not recreation. And just as you will not find articles on the best places to find good pasta in Italy, or croissants in France you’re not going to find a list of the most bike friendly cities in Germany. By American standards they’re all really, really bike friendly. And that’s totally unremarkable, just like cities built for the convenience of people in cars are normal in the US.

I’m not saying Raleigh is a cultural wasteland. I’m sure it has much to recommend it but to compare it to Berlin? Really? Berlin has almost eight times the population and has many very heavily subsidised national cultural institutions. I’m sure Raleigh has a better live music scene in English.

You should travel in Europe some. You would not compare anywhere in Western Europe to the US in terms of bike friendliness if you had.

Personal anecdote

I like to walk short distance with lids open to maintain wifi connection as I usualy keep remote connection to server. For longer walk distance, close the lid for easier walking.
