Double standards like these are present in America as well. A friend complained to that a financial firm based in Georgia went through this entire rigmarole of checking his Facebook profile as a prospective employee, only to have the first group meeting in a strip club. He asked me, do they assume that they are never going to hire female employees?
What about all the 50 year old engineers who have been made redundant and are finding it hard to find work? A combination of this and wanting a sense of purpose could make this an attractive proposition. Also I think forcing someone this experienced to follow the junior associate track is not a good system. Surely there is a better alternative way to leverage the technologists knowledge snd experience. It's exactly things like this that I expect to be discussed here.
At least three Broad teams post on HN, mine included (I'm not the poster). They're all growing and from what I can tell, the churn is very low.
It's difficult to quantify, but I'd say the only thing I notice is battery life. On the x230, before the mods I've made to modernize it a bit more, the battery life was somewhere south of 4 hours.

With the Librem 13 I do get 6-10 hours depending on work load.
This is a great point thanks for making it. imho it could be worded better, but it subtaintially invalidates the arguments like "bitcoin can only be used to waste energy and buy buy drugs"

Heck no! There was plenty of dealmaking which was "celebrated" afterwards at Houston strip joints up through the 00's.

Honestly you should get the hell out of SEA and go back home if aren't going to embrace the culture and be part of it. You're just making it more difficult for other people who want to integrate into that type of culture and that exchange.
I ask this not with snark but with fond(ish) memories, but does Microsoft providing open data like this make anyone else think of that Northwinds sample database that used to come with SQL Server?

Not sure if it still does or not, as I'm in a different DB engine entirely these days, but I kind of grinned with a wee bit of nostalgia checking out this site thinking of that. I cut my teeth on that data set.

Right. Are you really sure your kid is a rotten person, or would you rather assume that they are a good kid who made a fixable mistake?
On what basis do you claim this? Personal speculation?

To speak plainly, I highly doubt you believe what you're claiming to believe (that cryptocurrecy is being used solely for speculation), which leaves dishonest rhetoric as the only alternative.
It sounded to me like it has less to do with the message content, and more that someone who'd worked with Rackstraw in the past thought the message was written in a way similar to Rackstraw's.

Rackstraw served under Sherwood in two classified units, and Sherwood was familiar with his writing style having deciphered some of his earlier messages. When he saw the fifth and sixth typewritten letters, he immediately thought the “odd letter and number combinations” were indicative of the type of coded message that Rackstraw would send.

Then explain why the people using bitcoin are being irrational. Are the miners processing transactions and receiving fees in return being irrational? Are the people using bitcoin to send and receive funds being irrational? Please enlighten us (and them, apparently).

They are.

I don't wear headphones that play music much (unless I want rainy mood or something) but Shooting Earmuffs are perfect. With a good pair I would forget I'm even at work at times.

At the same time if someone comes to my cube and is close by, I can still hear them. Far away noises, not so much.

I highly recommend getting a pair, they're super cheap, all kinds of styles and sizes.
I don't know. After we were bought by a west coast company the stories like that stopped. While I worked with sales teams, I also worked with engineering teams so I wasn't on the front lines in that way. Did the events end, I don't know.
> The advent of nonvolatile memory is changing the equation, though, and swapping is starting to look interesting again

It's not clear to me why the nonvolatile part makes any difference to swap. I'd expect it would make more sense to attach a volatile, RAM-based SSD [1], maybe via PCIe or even once removed via storage fabric.

Perhaps it's just incidental, and it's merely price and/or capacity that's important, considering that it's attached via the memory bus.

[1] Not that I've ever seen such a product with a high enough capacity for a low enough price. It seems like it could be a way to recycle old and/or slow RAM, maybe a startup idea, but I'm no hardware guy.

Funny many years back I had a friend who worked at a company that builds a widely successful proprietary OS that tried to lock down the OS from any unauthorized software, aka solving the issues with copyright / piracy forever so to speak. They figured it's not their battle to fight and scrapped the project. It's just not a battle worth fighting. Look at Steam... Sure people still crack Steam games... but many more so buy Steam games.

Having been a web developer for about 20 years (on and off professionally), I've seen trends where we start off from a point, it's mess, we clean it up and get towards doing 'best practices' and something comes along to totally mess that up. Usually something with the promise of quick and easy and some how it takes hold. While yes, quick and easy to start, but experienced developers know what is quick and easy in the beginning only means a magnitude of work of resolving what that has caused.

That really is exciting, and I agree with your assessment of their ability to deliver. Maybe we’ll really see some developing industry in space in the next few decades... amazing.

I'm reasonably comfortable in Java, JavaScript, Swift, Python, Ruby, Scala, Terraform, Ansible and a pile of other things and I'm pretty comfortable in my ability to pick up new tech if you have a unique technology stack.

I agree. I think a wrapper would be a good way to go about it with the voice based programming interface left only for a high level description of what the programmer is trying to do.

If the choice is between the older generation having to relocate and young people trying to start families having to relocate, I am very much of the opinion that the older folks should take one for the team.
Thanks for your work on the reproducibility challenge - we read your results and found them interesting. The good news is that we had a lot more success, although it took many months of work to really make it sing, and bringing in AdamW was an important part of the success. Note that the super-convergence paper has been greatly improved through the recent 1cycle work, which includes a lot of important points to make it work in practice.

We tried the most divergent datasets and architectures we could think of, including even AWD-LSTM and QRNN. We got great results for pretty much everything we tried.

(We didn't try ResNeXt, since it's so slow in practice, or VGG or AlexNet, since they're largely obsolete. We did look at inception-resnet-v2; I'll have to go back to check to see the results, but IIRC it worked quite well.)
I think they would need to shut down encryption too, because one logical outcome to avoiding copyright checks is encrypting the content on the client so the provider don't know what has been uploaded.

In the game and simulation industry, texture resolution is a problem. If you run the math on how big textures need to be to match pixel resolution 1:1 in 3D space, it quickly becomes infeasable for large scenes.

One solution is to stream the mip levels, and to create virtualized mipmaps. This basically lets you create a 128k by 128k texture, which works fine because only small blocks are loaded. It’s literally the same thing as virtual memory, but for texture memory.

One downside is that when you shut down the game / simulation, all of that data no longer exists. It was virtual. It either streamed from the sever or you packed it to disk somewhere. Either way you have to set it up again the next time the program starts.

I don’t know whether the present topic would let you bypass this limitation, but if there was some way to start a program with a huge amount of memory allocations preloaded, that would be very attractive. And if you can reboot without losing that, then suddenly you can start crafting persistent worlds that load instantly with ~infinite resolution.

This is the dream that voxel tech was supposed to make into reality, and it will only become more of a concern over time as mixed reality tech matures.

Getting locked out of gmail is no joke. I have an old account that’s been forwarding to me for years, but when I recently changed my phone I lost my two factor.

Despite being able to supply google with the creation date (they ask), the fact that my name/birthday is the same on both accounts, I’ve attached the same visa to both google accounts, I’ve logged on to them from the same ips, and the fact that it’s forwarding everything to me, I still haven’t been able to get it unlocked.

I’m not sure I’ve really spoken to anything but an automated process either.

It’s entirely my fault for losing the two-factor restoration keys, but it’s been a little frightening to realize that you can’t just contact google and have them help you.

It’s worth mentioning that this discrimination is sadly necessary. Tor amounts to a massive open proxy, and just about any service that requires accounts (and many that don’t, like IRC or image boards) looks down on open proxies as primary abuse sources.

As someone who has run both an image board and a decent IRC server in the past, it’s a choice between heavily scrutinizing tor connections or banning them outright.
