I am also a software developer. When I first started teaching was back in the days of Napster before iTunes. When the iTunes music store came along it was like manna from heaven. For cycling, boot camp, and the occasional water aerobics classes it was easy to put together a playlist just choose songs based on the drills.

For classes where I had to stay on beat like step, cardio kickboxing (early on, it was a fad), and general strength training, it was a combination of buying 32 count aerobic mixes and creating my own consistent beat mixes music with CoolEdit (now Adobe Audition).

I could find plenty of 32 count combos by going to other instructors classes and turnstep.com.

My wife just started teaching for a local les mills type organization that has prechoreagraphed workouts and she loves it and her classes do look fun especially for people who naturally have rythym and can dance.

I had neither, but I could do pretty well to standard 128-136 bpm, 32 count phrased music.
Just because it's realpolitik does not mean it's not ethical.

Agree the Classic Mac animations were really good and didn’t really slow you down.

I’d compare that with the too slow IMHO animation when an app goes full screen on macOS.

Or look at Split View, it was clearly designed for ios touch and then later shoehorned into macOS.

My pet theory is that they left out keyboard ahortcuts for Split View because moving windows about with the keyboard would be too fast and highlight how slow the animations are.

Using a touch pad or mouse is slow anyway so you notice less.
Also, just generally death by a thousand cuts with ridiculous numbers of small annoyances.

This used to be the difference.

But between Preview.app bugs (crashes all the time when previewing beamer slides, slow rendering, jumping through slides in non-linear order), sticky or stuck keys on the butterfly keyboard, ancient UNIX userland (yes, you can install newer versions with Homebrew or Nix), weird bugs when running XQuartz, etc. The gap is narrowing pretty quickly.

Also, I have been using NixOS on my Linux workstation at home. I like it so much that I want fully declarative system configurations everywhere ;).
If you have 1-2 rarely used apps that are keeping you, you can run OS X in a VM. Legally, if you're on a Mac.

In the hardware dept, people are always bringing up the issue that Linux doesn't work well on all the random laptop hardware. It's true but it's not exactly a disadvantage compared to OS X, which works well on a much smaller set of hardware.
I think you have it backwards - Google will perfect it’s censorship offering in China then actively resell it to other governments
IBM doesn't have to sell you the CPUs. You just need to have a handful of companies in the OpenPOWER foundation and a fab or two.

Or you can buy Xilinx FPGAs, which are available with PPC-compatible cores built right in.

Or you steal the source code, instead of the deployment binaries.

Or it could be used as a wedge to increase censorship in the U.S. overtime as the Chinese government exerts leverage over Google.
The RGB vectors are more or less based on biology, they're just a toy model[0]. Plus, physics is nothing more than a series of better and better approximations to things we observe -- it's all made up at some point. I'm guessing you're upset that the "made up" stuff in this case leads to no new physical insight and deviates from what we know to be more consistent with observation. That doesn't mean that "made up" stuff is not useful. Toy models are everywhere, even in fundamental research.

There's a very good reason why people don't solve the kinematics of a tennis ball as if it were a 10^23 quantum-many-body problem. If you're constrained on time and money, the smartest thing to do is to get the closest result you can in the smallest time with the least amount of money.

Most of these sensors on their own are pretty cheap for simple data collection. Again, most of this stuff is already tracked, take google maps, or onstar, as examples.

HiDPI works well on the latest GNOME with Wayland. I use a 4k display at home with the amdgpu driver and it works great. I have also hooked up a non-4k Dell Ultrasharp display and with Wayland, both displays can use different DPIs.

The Qt and Tk (since 8.6) applications also scale nicely with GNOME3.

The only glitch is that currently only integer scaling works well.
Agreed. It's not even the cost I take issue with, it's the design compromises. I want a professional device Apple, not a toy fashion product.

> Why is it unethical to launch a censored search product in China?

No, it's ethical in the government's views.

However, then why do people in China would going to use such search engine knowing it's as bad as Baidu currently is?

Actually, to understand the problem here, you need to know who are the main user of Google in China: The progressives (maybe overly simplified, but these people are who actually sicked with Google for a very long time). And most of them also very sensitive to those bad things Google did in the recent years.

Plus, in the long run, a local Chinese company (Baidu for example) can bring far better benefit to the government compare to a foreign one, AND without causing any headache worrying about the company could become too strong to control.

So, Google just can't win the battle with local giants.

If Google re-enters China, the only thing they can probably be succeed, is to make Baidu fear again thus stop doing it's shitty business.

No, it's not allowed, because this is pseudo-science. For future reference you can detect pseudo-science very easily because pseudo-science is just the formalization of non-observable entities.

The "scientist" in this study posit the existence of many non-observable entities: "mathematical intelligence", "nonmathematical intelligence", "systemising mechanisms" and "empathising mechanisms" and "lawful systems." Then he posits a theory which relates these entities -- which, again, are not observable or real in any sense. Finally he collects real data to support his theories about all these imaginary entities. Now, data is always good, but you can see the problem here?

No attempt is ever made to ground any of this in observable reality. It's garbage in, garbage out, from the get go.

Unfortunately this sort of pseudo-science, as we've seen time and again, can be seized upon by all manner of propagandists eager to push their narrative. That's why this sort of nonsense -- which is non-sense in the purest form because we cannot observe or measure any of the entities supposedly at work here -- is very popular with the public but is regarded very suspiciously by actual scientists.
Z3 has a python interface. This said, SMT is an extension of SAT, and you're likely to use a SMT solver even for "just" SAT problems. Most SMT solvers support the SMT-LIB [1] file format, which is easy to generate from python. It also lets you switch engine easily.

Also, there are other kinds of interesting solvers. For constraint problems, one can check minizinc [2]. A bit like SMT-LIB, it's a language to describe constraint problems that is supported by many solvers. It's commonly used with gecode [3]. For many problems using minizinc will be much easier than trying to convert the problem in SAT (or even SMT) format.

Happy hacking, it's a fascinating domain!

Some stuff you can build to learn more about distributed systems (you can start simple, do research, and then iterate to build a more comprehensive solution): build a distributed file system, a distributed lock server, a consensus algorithm (paxos, raft, etc.), two/three phase commit protocol, distributed hash table, etc.
> A correct renderer would look correct to whatever creature was looking at it.

Impossible. RGB is just a 3-bin spectrum. It's the minimum number of bins needed to represent any color humans can perceive because we have 3 color sensors that are at least partly independent.

You could always imagine a hypothetical creature with yet more sensors, until you need a bin for every possible wavelength of light. Eventually you'd effectively be simulating individual photons. The world has too many atoms for us to simulate it at that level.

We sometimes use larger spectrums than RGB because while humans may not always be able to perceive the difference between two different spectrums of equivalent color, sometimes they interact differently with other things.

For example, white light formed by the full spectrum of visible light will seperate into a rainbow when passed through a prism. White light formed by red, green and blue lasers may be indistinguishable when viewed directly, but will only seperate into red, green and blue when passed through a prism.

The number of bins we use for that sort of simulation depends on how many we need to get a result that is a satisfactory approximation of reality. All models are wrong. The question is always whether they are good enough for our purposes.
For #2 - Maybe try setting up your own Kubernetes cluster on a cloud service provider, without using shortcuts? Perhaps etcd and the Raft protocol would be interesting and helpful in some cases, but leans more towards #1.

Why is it ethical to censor speech just to cater to the whims of totalitarian government?
In case you haven't heard yet, there's ongoing work [1] from Paul Schoenfelder for just that! Dockyard (employer of Chris McCord, father of the Phoenix framework) hired him some time back for this very reason.

[1] https://dockyard.com/blog/2018/02/28/elixir-deployment-tools...
Sundar Pichai didn't grow up in a free country but also didn't know the harm of a totalitarian government. He neither values the concepts of freedom of speech nor knows personally the harms of the lack of it.
Sure, but lines should be drawn somewhere. The invasion of Iraq was a humanitarian nightmare and our country decided not to take any action to punish those who committed it. If the China performing censorship is enough a reason for Google to morally avoid that market, then the US certainly falls on the other side of the line as well. And if that's too far in the distant past, the war in Yemin should suffice.
Yup. Once you look at all web browsers including desktop and mobile, Firefox has 5-6% marketshare. I am also super disappointed, see my multiple comments in this thread. I've often promoted FF to others based on this simple, amazing feature. Many times, even here on HN if you read my post history[0][1][2]. See reference [0], 3 years ago mentioning to never kill this feature.

By Mozilla's own logic given in their bugtracker comments and 5% marketshare, Mozilla may as well not even exist and delete all the Firefox code.

They just want to push Pocket and other alternatives that they think they can monetize easier than free and open standards like RSS. This is blatantly against Mozilla's code.

It's time to find a new browser, and I've long been a fan of native browsers for their native optimizations that result in lower power usage. Considering I rarely have my computer even powered on without a browser open, Edge and Safari simply make more sense now that FF only has container support & a dedicated search bar to lure me in.

With Windows 10 Sets likely only to work properly with Edge, and Netflix only supporting 1080P & 4K in Edge, and being optimized for my system's best interests.. MS has more convincing features than Firefox. Firefox was always the (only) browser optimized for my personal best interests, through privacy & features.

Safari, same thing as Edge. Only way to get 1080P Netflix on macOS, supports all the Apple integration features like ApplePay payment support with TouchID, picture-in-picture support for Youtube, and better battery life.

It's a shame what Mozilla has become post-Brandon Eich. They're just chasing nonsense now with Pocket.

I think a good way to avoid this flamewar is to point towards the Turing Tarpit, and ask - where does your favourite language shift complexity? If it's any good, it can't really remove it; it can only shift it from one place to another, making certain tasks easier, at the cost of making other tasks difficult.

LM formats, at least the ones I teach, mostly consist "counts of 8". With respect to beats in the music, each count is 2 beats. In BODYUMP, for example, a "slow" clean-and-press is 8 counts (instructor can comfortably and naturally say aloud 1-2-3-4-..., from start to finish of the movement), but it's indicated on the choreography sheet as 2x8. In SPRINT (HIIT cycling), I might say something like: "next interval is 25 seconds seated sprint, then 10 seconds standing power, then another 25 seconds seated sprint, then rest for 25 seconds". That equates to head-counting with the music of 8x8, 4x8, 8x8, 8x8; but strictly by beats would be 16x8, 8x8, 16x8, 16x8.
Gameboys have been used for years in many specialty industrial products due to their inexpensive price point as well as their programmability and peripheral interfaces. One was even found to be used in a medical device [1].

With modern systems it is possible to have variable pricing based on traffic flow. Mandate that the price is the lowest possible that still keeps the traffic moving at a certain rate. Even free in slack hours. That way you don't get almost empty toll roads with super high prices like I have seen in Mexico, Italy, etc. Hopefully we can try out some new systems to get rid of traffic jams and normalize travel times and not just always assume the system will be corrupted to serve a few.

They collect data about you from every website that you visit that uses Discourse. They share it with a lot of other organisations, including Google analytics.

That sounds reasonable, sure. You might also try contacting the author directly. Authors tend to know way more about their books than the person answering your email at the publisher, and certainly would have a good idea what their print editions are supposed to look like. I've actually found emailing book authors about their books in niche fields to be usually really easy and interesting in its own right.
I agree about the learning curve but not about your point that it doesn't scale. I, and many people I know from my generation that basically live in a command line environment (including often vim) know thousands of commands and their options by heart. It's like another language.

At some point you are fluent and coming up with the right commands and options is effortless. The challenge becomes being efficient and elegant.

Even then you learn about knew tools or options regularly and it's not a problem. It's much like with a natural language, there is no point were you stop learning new words.
Agreed. There's a lot of good frameworks on PHP. There might be less work to develop PHP websites from scratch, but more that involves maintaining an existing system.

The unpopularity of PHP actually means there are more PHP jobs emerging. Nobody wants to swap out of a functional old system, but the younger folk are going to go after new, sexy, technologies.
