Home equipment often is relatively poorly secured. The reality is that intra-LAN communication causes contagion to spread easily, that blocking intra-LAN communication can be very inconvenient, and that often there is no good solution.

At least restrict it as much as possible. For example, allow connections only to the printer, if that is needed, and maybe only in one direction - and lock down that printer. But consider walk-up printing via USB cable: People print much less often these days and they have to walk over to the printer to pickup the document anyway.

"The fact that the linear-in-field resistivity mirrored so elegantly the previously known linear-in-temperature resistivity of LSCO is highly significant, Shekhter said.

"Usually when you see such things, that means that it's a very simple principle behind it," he said.
I'm always hearing about these and other problems that programmers have with the R language. In practice, none of them seem to be a big deal to statisticians.

64 bit integers? Never had a need for this, but maybe there is a package that can add them in?

What's wrong with the package system? I maintain an R package on CRAN and I'm quite smitten with the package system.
I don't know if they will ever integrate this, but that's what I like about path tracing.

Even on slow computers you will get a real time photorealistic result. You will have to wait long before all noise is gone but you will notice lighting problems in a sec.
I doubt it. Alas, it's not studied yet but a lot of people are going on the carnivore diet and finding that there system reset and find it hard to over or under eat -- they just fall into a natural way of eating. Certainly my experience.
Yes, and I recently had an AT&T fiber line installed in my house because of it. I'm 100% certain that if Google Fiber hadn't started deployments in Louisville I would not have a fiber connection today. Even if it's not from Google.

Thank you Google!
After losing my beloved QC-25s on a plane years ago, I picked up some creative HN-900s on the cheap. They aren’t as good, but you can also pick up a set refurbished set for under $40 at Amazon. If I ever end up flying a lot again or back at a noisy office I might upgrade back to some Bose headphones, but the creatives have largely gotten the job done and the other brands I’ve tried (mono price on ear, an audio technica set) weren’t as comfortable.

If you are trying to cancel out office noise, definitely go with over ear headphones. They are more comfortable for long wear periods

One thing to consider as you are deciding- in my experience noise cancelling headphones block out distractions better when actually playing audio. If you want to work in total silence, even the higher end Bose’s won’t get you there, as you can still make out the noise.

UCEPROTECT does NOT run a „pay for delisting“ blacklist.
See Removal Policy:
http://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=7&s=0

Registering an IP into a high trustee whitelist is an optional offer to the admins of clean mailservers and not blackmail.

See the FAQ at http://www.whitelisted.org/?go=faq

And just because you said: „reputable spam blacklists....“ I have to tell you the bad news:-)
UCEPROTECT is and was never a problem for mailservers with a good reputation.

If you are running a mailrelay, all that matters for delivery success is reputation.
That means you have to make sure your system can‘t be abused for spamming and you don‘t spam.
Doing so will ensure that your IP will never show up in UCEPROTECT Level 1.
Having a good reputation also means, you have to look at the reputation of your provider before signing up.
If your ISP is activeley preventing abuse originating from their networks and ranges, and acting quick on abuse, then you should also never run in trouble with UCEPROTECT‘s Levels 2 and 3.

It‘s really that easy.
But if all what matters to you chosing an ISP is the price, you don‘t have to wonder about the consequences.

I've used this method for almost exactly 6 years now, and I have a very interesting chart on trendweight.com to show for it. My success has been rather mixed. In that time period I've twice lost 20 lbs and twice regained it.

The first time, I gained very gradually, the result of having moved to an employer with free food, and needing to learn new habits of self control.

The second time, I regained very rapidly, because I was a new dad, and really underestimated the combined stress of working and parenting.

Hoping I can pull off a third time and keep it off.
The easiest thing to do to reduce your caloric intake is to start cooking...it's very hard to get to high calorie numbers if you are making your own food instead of eating out.

Oh, and when you're hungry eat a meal first then snack later. Don't start snacking first or you can find yourself over indulging in chips to make up for the meal you didn't eat on time.
He is talking about free college for his kid, thats why the tax first, the college later.
You said "Obesity is directly caused by a failure to moderate how much we eat, so yes, some of us track how much we eat" for which research shows that:

a) people on caloric deficit almost always gain the weight back
b) people can lose weight without calorie counting

32 bit integers or not, that's a bit tangential to R's dominance as a statistical language.

I work in population-level genomics and haven't found this to be a problem (yet?).

Furthermore, what's wrong with the package system? That's one of R's strengths.

I honestly find it far superior to python's 10 different solutions, none of which really work in a foolproof manner (and I use both languages daily).
GMR gets FAA permit for aircraft MRO services
Yeah, this is pretty much exactly the kind of thing I am talking about. Except that the guy in question was generally replacing "relatively simple explanation which is more wrong than right" with "relatively simple explanation which is more right that wrong". Meanwhile the guy in the video seems to be adding quite a bit of complexity, even though he says that he's actually presenting a simplified view of the matter.

IIRC, one of the examples from the book thing had to do with the explanation and illustration of how light gets refracted when passing through glass. The overall effect is supposedly explained by the fact that light slows down as it enters glass, and typically a wavefront illustration is used to depict this. He went on to explain how the illustration is wrong and what the correct illustration should be instead, but I don't remember the details. And now that we have meta-materials which can bend light the wrong way, the whole "slowing down causes refraction" idea may be wrong, too. In fact, I remember reading an early potential explanation of this new effect (which as I recall had to do with the notion that the magnetic aspects of light might be affected differently than how the electrical aspects of light are, or vice versa) and thinking to myself "Aha - now that makes perfect sense!" And if that explanation makes sense for meta-materials then it also probably makes sense for regular materials. But once again I don't remember the details.

BTW, I understand the need to often simplify things quite a bit when you're dealing with students, but if we have "simple but incorrect" vs. "simple but correct" then we should be working hard to eliminate the former as soon as possible. If his critique of the situation is valid then it kind of beggars belief that we are still teaching so many things the wrong way!
Not unless the program happens to use the common subset between the two BASIC dialects, which probably rules out any graphics and sound. A text adventure game, maybe.
"If your app includes in-app purchase, subscriptions, virtual currency, billing functionality or captures financial information, the following requirements apply:

10.8.5: Your app may promote or distribute software only through the Microsoft Store"

IANAL but based on the language, it means that if your "app" (including its metadata) promotes software (itself or other) it can only do it via the MS store.

> 10.8.5: Your app

Its your app and NOT "you". SO I take it as, you can still distribute it via other platforms. Had they meant it to what you say the language would have been

"You may may promote or distribute this app only through the Microsoft Store"
As someone that regularly deals with comp in all of these cities in the US and globally (unfortunately), there are a small number of cities, like Seattle, that literally go toe-to-toe with Silicon Valley on comp in practice. This was not always the case but it is in 2018. And in the case of Seattle, they don't have income tax either, which makes it brutal to suggest people relocate from Seattle. Hence why Seattle is the fastest growing city in the US.

There may be some areas where the Valley tops the comp list, the kind of software engineering that goes on in cities varies. But for many types of software engineering where Seattle excels, such as core infrastructure code, expected hiring costs are astronomically by any general metric.
I think bit64 gives integer64, but like you I never need large integers - I don't do general purpose programming in R.

Now Apple might be ahead. But its not hard for them to lose all of that. Apple as of now is not useful to the masses in most countries. Google is.

There is a reason why companies like Dell and Microsoft ruled so much in the 90s to the 2005. Once you exhaust Steve Jobs's established product lines, you are just selling expensive cosmetic shining gadgets offering little in extra value compared to Samsung or Dell. At that time is when Google like companies will outshine Apple.

Scary thing for Apple is the new Macbook Pro already shows some of these problems. Steve Jobs is no more, and its already showing.

In fact one big revolutionary product from Google could change everything for Apple. The raw utility of Google search still far exceeds that of iPhone. And that's just one product. Maps, YouTube, Android etc have very large utility to common masses compared to iPhone.
That was truly a golden age for computing in my biased opinion.

Anyhow, you're question. Unfortunately no. You'll find that some parts of the program will work fine but Microsoft BASIC (which is what the Commodores ran and what this seems loosely based on) weren't entirely compatible with BBC BASIC.

BASIC in the 80s was a bit like Javascript in the 00s in that every browser did things did things subtly differently.

As an aside, I was playing on my BBC Micro last night. :)

1) I think learning entity embeddings using the Doc2Vec (paragraph vector) model is an interesting idea, but we did not test it.
2) This tool was initially developed to address the entity linking task. Mapping words and entities into a same vector space enables to model the contextual information that is useful for entity linking. For details, please refer to this paper:

R and Rstudio have been my primary bread and butter maker. You might argue that Rstudio has financial interest in growing R community but it's fair and it has helped overall R as a language entirely (not just as statistical one). Hadley Wickham's tidyverse is an amazing example of how one can simply get stuff done. Along with %>% pipe it is almost like idiomatic python. The ecosystem is amazing, I can write a web scraper in a couple of lines of code as simple as beautifulsoup. I think that's the strength of R. The intuitive UI and easy setup of RStudio just help someone get started with no hassle. That's a key I believe. I have also trained non-programmers and they managed to do data analysis in R using tidyverse in a matter of a month or two max.
I don’t think that’s realtime path tracing. It looks to me like they’re doing ray traced reflections and shadows and combining that with light probe global illumination. It’s cool, but not revolutionary.
That's interesting to me, as I found Videodrome very rewatchable, mostly due to the "OK let's try again to figure out wtf actually happened here..." effect.

An Intro to Crypto: Building Blocks
As a kid, I asked my mom if all numbers have a name, she said yes, and then I asked the obvious follow-up question: If there are infinite numbers, and all numbers have a name, then there must exist a number called door, another one named airplane, because at some point you would run out of numbery names, I don't remember what she said, but she didn't answer the question.

That question was unresolved for me until recently, when I revisited the question and thought that at some point you could start naming them a, aa, aaa, aaaa, etc instead of seventen hexadecillions five hundred and sixty octillions ... or something like that.

I would love to remember all the other questions I had.
Could not agree more. This coupled with the feeling of being "defeated" when you need to move cards from this sprint to the next sprint just because you didn't get it completed is why my team went away from sprints.
That's really interesting to hear. I am an engineer rather than a statistician so my usage is probably different (Mostly analyzing and modeling process data).

SAS is so entrenched in my organisation and there is such a long history of legacy SAS code that I feel like at this point it is probably impossible to migrate out of it.

How did you end up adopting it was it an organisation wide thing? I was able to get my work to send me on R course last year (Based around Microsoft R-open product).

I've found it pretty difficult to get other people here to switch the barrier is just a bit higher (functional language which people aren't all that comfortable writing etc) and lacks all the legacy code.
This is a crucial correction and should be the top response.

The administration continues to act in removing Federal jurisdiction and regulations from being used as a tool to prevent startup organizations from entering established markets.

This case is a success in that it removes significant incumbent advantages. Let's hope poor behavior and sloppy work (breaking connections too frequently) doesn't become common. And shame on the incumbents using regulations for financial gain.

That's not true. The bit64 package works just fine for 64 bit integers. Also, for most use cases in R's domain, it doesn't even matter.
I love rain. It smells nice during and after. It cools off the hot air in summer. It's relaxing to listen to. And most importantly, it gives a good excuse to stay home.

What specifically makes path tracing not a special case of ray tracing? To me, ray tracing is anything that traces rays (unlike the typical rasterization using z-buffering), and path tracing is just a poorly-named high fidelity method of using ray tracing...

> A good sparse matrix implementation is key to any serious numerics.

I agree with much of your comment, but there is a great deal of serious numerics which doesn't use sparse linear algebra at all. In fact there are entire subfields of numerical analysis which involve fast algorithms for dense linear algebra.

I feel you are generous with x3 for Java: empirically, a straightforward rewrite to C easily gains you 30x, or more for heavily cache-local datasets.

Not an issue. It doesn’t supercede states with their own laws. From the article:

The FCC rules also don't apply in states that have opted out of the federal regime in order to use their own methods of regulating pole attachments. Twenty states and Washington, DC, have previously opted out of the federal pole-attachment rules, while pole attachments in the other 30 states are governed by FCC rules.
