That is brilliant, but I have mixed feelings about misinforming the player this way.

I like the way Brogue trains you on odds. You roll the dice A LOT, but it goes by super fast, so you get averages in one battle that conform to player expectations without misleading the player. At the same time, you can still achieve high stakes moments...but generally the player has walked themselves into those high stakes moments by repeatedly playing poor odds, so it feels deserved rather than like a rage quit situation.

I went to one to satisfy the same sort of morbid fascination as well. I really have to hand it to the sales people, it was one of the most incredible sales pitches I've ever seen.

They shuttled us to one of their premier properties where they took us to a sales room and served us breakfast. After a few moments they had everybody gather around a large presentation screen and a salesman who spent the next hour not just going over all the "benefits" of buying a timeshare, but tying that to a scripted and intensely acted "deeply personal", tear jerking story that ranged through decades of his life. The delivery was world class small stage acting -- it was that impressive. After that they paired us all off with a secondary sales guy who took us to a model room and start on the normal high pressure sales tactics.

Our only escape was that we simply lied about our income and looked to be too poor to ever afford anything they had on offer and told them we were only interested in vacationing to places they didn't have a presence. It was quite an intense experience. We left, got our free tickets to a show and were shuttled back to where it all started about 3 hours earlier.

It was absolutely bizarre and I kind of can't believe the entire operation is legal.
> There is absolutely no doubt that ideogram promises a chance to win the car in exchange for the registration.

While a naive person may make that inference, a rational person may understand that 'ideogram' does not constitute an assertion that the picture depicts the prize to be won.

I sure don't mean to defend such predatory scammers, but I'm pretty sure they are legally safe on that part.

I had a friend last year who got very excited when she "won a car" and I had to talk her down when she said all she had to do was make an inconveniently long drive to a shopping mall to claim it / have her prize "verified."

Parallel Programming with Swift: What could possibly go wrong?
pace @zeusk:

I thought the point was that they didn't know if the dest is long enough to copy source, so they copy as much of it as they can.

The reason for the '\0' is in the case that src is shorter than dest.

A more explicit way may be to strlen dest > src then just use lenght(src) otherwise use str(dest).

But this might actually be more efficient.

Edit: And in this case Spolsky doesn't apply because it seems the developer doesn't get to allocate the dest length.

How the hell are you supposed to prove that you "identify as woman" if asked? If they follow the ideology at work here, everyone can identify as any gender, so basically everyone can apply by pretending to be a woman. Then they can make a fuss about being discriminated if Outreachy doesn’t acknowledge they are indeed indentifying as a woman. This whole minory/discrimination is a double edged sword.

A couple years ago I was working as an independent contractor and my Macbook started having problems. I ended up needing help from local Apple repair folks. It cost me maybe two days of billable hours.

I wouldn't expect Apple to reimburse me for lost work; that's a risk I take when I buy and depend on a computer. But that risk certainly makes me take risks like "your keyboard may stop working and take a week to ship off and repair" into considering when buying something. I wouldn't buy one of these models with notoriously fragile keyboards.

People could send hatemail and death threats in the mail before landlines existed. Sure, technology makes it easier to send anyone anything but progress has been made to make certain things more private. You can block someone on facebook or heavily lock your profile down to be invisible anyone but friends. You can block numbers easily on phones now. Encrypt your phone or computer (by default now!) to prevent people from installing tracking apps or spyware. You can use things like whatsapp to talk without the cell carrier recording phone numbers. GPS trackers are still an issue, I can't think of any way to get around that other than using a GPS jammer which is illegal and wouldn't block a tracker that uses cell towers as well. Cell phones and pagers used to be just as dumb as a landline, they receive everything and track everything but you can stay much more "off the grid" while still remaining in contact now.

>Of course the joke is all the products are indistinguishable out of the packet as no doubt they come from the same production lines and they aren't likely to tool up to make deliberately inferior versions if that would cost extra

That's absolutely not the case. It's definitely economical to make slightly inferior versions for the value brand. If you read the ingredients, you can see where they've cut costs. For example, the ordinary own-brand chocolate digestives are 27% chocolate, while the Basics brand digestives are 24% chocolate.

Basics pasta is made from an inferior grade of wheat, Basics peanut butter is bulked out with 8% vegetable oil, Basics tin foil is very slightly thinner. It seems like a trivial difference, but it equates to millions of pounds a year across the entire product range. The major supermarkets and their manufacturing partners are incredibly good at finding marginal cost savings.

Supermarkets really want you to buy their own-brand products, because the margins are far better than on branded goods. I believe that the slogans used by Sainsburys are playing on quite a subtle psychological effect - by signposting how they saved money, they reduce the sense that the product is suspiciously cheap.

Low-cost airlines like Ryanair have deliberately cultivated an image of conspicuous thrift. We intuitively interpret the second-tier airports with crappy facilities, the tatty seat upholstery and the ugly websites as signals of trustworthiness, because we can see where the corners have been cut to save money. In some sense, we want to get shafted on baggage fees or sold a scratchcard by a surly flight attendant, because it allays our fears that they have scrimped on engine maintenance or hired a load of ex-Aeroflot pilots.

In many countries you can use the debit card to withdraw cash and make online and EFTPOS transactions. EFTPOS machines can process debit and credit cards. With debit cards the money is deducted from your account immediately or in your case at the end of the month. (but then it should be called credit not debit)
It was about 1980, I think, before the pizza stores realized that could get delivery drivers to use their own vehicles. (Source: I spent a month or so in the early 1970s delivering pizzas, chicken, etc.) I was disgusted to find out that the stores were having their drivers use their own vehicles.

And part of the problem is that pizza delivery used to be a job for a high school student, paid accordingly. There were better jobs to be had once one was out of school. A lot of the better jobs seem to be gone.

I wonder if it would be worth starting a business brokering access to bricks and mortar for your industry. I'm sure you could find some national chains that have retail traffic that could take delivery of a prize and collect the relevant details.

Then it becomes a problem where you need assurance that the customer is going to actually show up at the store and claim his prize before you go to the trouble of shipping it out. Not a big deal.

> With an eye toward AGW, how can paper packaging and burning refuse be seen as a responsible choice?

Plastic takes oil and therefore carbon out of the depths of the Earth, until it eventually gets burnt, biodegrades or otherwise degrades and turns into CO2 contributing to global warming.

Trees instead take CO2 from the atmosphere, turn it into solid cellulose that we make paper from, until the paper biodegrades or gets burnt and returns to the atmosphere from which it came in the first place. If a new tree is planted for each tree that gets cut for paper, as is done in most developed countries, paper can be carbon neutral (it all depends on the source of the energy used for processing it).

That aside I think there's something bigger here.

I think learning is really hard work, and so most people's first reaction to hard work is to say No, and then go and construct an a posteriori rationale for why actually they shouldn't do that hard work (it's not that useful, you're never gonna use it, you're an expert at something else, etc).

You’re right that everyone suffers. The question in a “war” is who can handle the most losses/suffering before routing. The evidence seems to suggest that the Chinese market is already tanking, with the US barely having taken a first few shots. I see minimal impact, if any, on US markets (there are of course localized pockets of suffering, but we’re talking about the whole picture).

So this is more about taking a long term view. When the status quo (pre-Trump-tariffs) continues, the US continues to rack up a deficit, loses a lot of manufacturing expertise, develops a significant dependency on China, while China continues to innovate and raise its standard of living. Of course the US remains engaged in more higher level work, but rampant IP theft renders a large part of it moot, when it can simply be stolen. So a few decades from now, the US is only slightly above its current position while China has advanced considerably. Even better, with China’s large population, and emphasis on STEM, they are better positioned for the next many decades, compared to the US. Now combine that with China’s (or any large power’s) willingness to throw its weight around, and within a century it is not too hard to visualize the US as a secondary power to China.

China (or anyone else for that matter) will continue to steal IP as long as they can get away with it. It’d be stupid not to. The point of this is to really force them to come to the table and come to terms that are amenable to the US. It is trivial to issue a “statement” condemning IP theft, but entirely another matter to take actual steps to prevent it. The ultimate goal of US (or any country’s) foreign policy is to maintain long term geopolitical advantage. Continuation of the status quo did not seem like the most realistic path to doing that, so they’re fighting it.

From a trade perspective, a rising deficit means the US pays for Chinese goods, while barely getting paid for its products. The US would really like to sell more than it buys. This cannot happen when the Chinese have tariffs on just about everything, in addition to making it nigh impossible for foreign firms to operate on their soil. This state of affairs works strongly to their advantage, so they have no reason to do it differently. The US hopes that these (and future) tariffs will convince the Chinese to be more open to US products and companies in mainland China.

I don't think it's about trade but the wholesale theft of IP, R&D, etc.

According to Marc Goodman, in his book "Future Crimes" he details how China is responsible for the largest transfer of wealth in Human History all through theft of I&P.

I know my companies own experience led to the closing of a factory after it was discovered that the Chinese Military had infiltrated the Factory floor and was actively trying to harvest IP and Financial Information.

I just finished speaking to someone who is in the plastic injection molding industry and they are carefully managing the technology they send to China and don't allow dies to be manufactured there because of the extent of IP Theft.

This is about survival and trade will be used to fight the war.
Glad to inspire and go ahead and use this idea. By the way my full name is Kaveh Hadjari.

Yes you would still would need a good image classifier like ResNet 34 to actually extract usuable features which could then be used as input to a RNN model.

An important point if you would try to actually implement such a model, don't train the image classifier together with the RNN as that would probably make the training unnecessarily slow with the end result of either not making a dent in the weights of the ResNet or simply overfitting the relatively small and inappropriate training set that is provided by Yelp for this competition. Instead use the ResNet classifier in a preprocessing step to transform the images to the activations of a later layer in the ResNet and use those as the input for the RNN model, note when training the RNN you should persist these activations as you would otherwise would unnecessarily need to run forward prop multiple times through the ResNet for each image. In this manner you get the benefit of the ResNet which is great at extracting features from images and the ability to train the RNN model much more quickly.

Since it is DJT, this is a horrible idea. Some times, its impossible to separate the message from messenger, even for the bright minds of HN.

US has got China by the balls 130 - 505 billion difference in trade, makes it so much important for the over-leveraged Chinese companies to have access to a market that is about quarter of world GDP.

Whether you like DJT or not, US has massive leverage against China. We have already entered into the era of US being a transactional rather than systemic, which is good for some not so good for some.

Why? Asses can be beautiful. And it doesn't change the fact that NZ is about as remote as you can get.
I think you’re looking at it wrong, but I’m still just as annoyed.

We’re giving the developer money for a bucket of features. It should be okay if a new feature comes along that I have to pay for it (upgrade cost). By paying when I did I was signaling that the old features were worth the price, expecting it to be free forever and include new features after that seems a bit unreasonable.

However, I get quite upset when I don’t have the option any longer to stay with my old bucket of features because they want to put me on the monthly fee treadmill.

IntelliJ gets this better than most. You have to pay every year, the year you stop paying is the year you’re frozen at. Fallback perpetual licensing I think is the term they used.

I love Tower for Mac, I’m happy with my current bucket of features and don’t wish to hop in the recurring revenue treadmill. I’ll be quite disappointed if they make it hard for me to stay on my current version.
