Yeah I should have been more explicit that this comment is in reference to ML code. Training is nothing but a loop so its unlikely you pass type A in iteration 1 and type B in iteration 200. If that happens most likely your training data is messed up and type safety cannot help you as you would have compiled and tested for type A.

Linkerd 1.0 and Istio are traditional service meshes; you install them in their totality across an entire platform. They are rich in features and bulky, completely overkill for a single service.

Linkerd 2.0 follows a new bottoms-up model that is, frankly, non-traditional. An individual service owner can install a lightweight package on a single service and derive immediate value. When multiple service owners on a project adopt Linkerd 2.0, their services will properly "mesh" without any platform-level installs. This makes adoption organic and immediately valuable for a single dev but also for an entire project as it gets installed into more services. Game changing IMHO.

It’s due to return on energy investment going up due to new productive technologies, aka “capital”. “Capitalism” is an orthogonal issue. To put it in Marxian terms, you can have a socialist community with a capitalist mode of production.

The way new capital reaches the third world can be attributed to globalization of market circuits, for instance, China is currently investing into Africa much like the first world did to China in the past.

Of course, if you define the terminology differently, say you’re an Austrian Economist, the above explanation might appear unintelligable.

I've heard similar arguments about age and physics. I've always theorized that as time progresses the body of work one must be familiar with in order to make new contributions grows as well. We should therefore expect that in modern times, major contributions should come from more experienced individuals.
If you really need a break, see if your university has an "academic leave" policy or a sabbatical policy. Some universities will let you take 12 months away from your classes and then come back without any consequences. You could take a year off, do what you really want with your life, and then come back refreshed to your last year of studies. The greatest danger is that you just won't want to go back.
People were still finding bugs in common implementations of timsort as of 3 years ago. It's not unreasonable to stick with a somewhat more conservative choice for a core library function until there's more reason to have confidence in the implementations of timsort.
So, to the extent we have been able to even investigate, it appears that nutritional science, behavioral economics, and cancer research all have the same problems that first came to light in the social sciences. The principal difference appears to be that in cancer research and nutritional science it is harder to even attempt a replication. Hypothesis: this has been happening in all fields of science, and the social sciences are actually just the first to have brought it to light.
Because it would be a disaster. There are so many games that you can complete in a day or two. They may be absolutely FANTASTIC, like Monument Valley. But people already don’t like paying for apps so they’ll ask for their $.99 back after they’ve played the game.

The end result is the only games they can survive or 90 our games that are full of in app purchases. Every other app could be easily download it, used, and refunded it quickly.

As bad as monetization is in the App Store right now it would be in order of magnitude worse.

This is different from linking. With links you see the whole web page. I haven't used the shortcuts app and don't know how obvious the source of the info is. It seems the article author had to dig into the shortcut configuration to find a reference to his site.
Honestly, I'd probably take this with a grain a sand while "nypost" are the ones reporting it without too many details. They aren't really known for high journalistic standards.

Dutch supermarkets have really improved in this regard the past few years. Many of their own-brand products now have clearly separable packaging (i.e. a plastic container with a cardboard wrapper that you can just slide off), and the branding contains clear instructions on how to recycle. For example, I just took this wrapping out of the trash [1], which says "wrapper: paper" to the left, and "rest: plastic" to the right.

If the objections really were founded on a basic misunderstanding, then one would expect a straightforward clarification to be forthcoming (where 'straightforward' should be read in the context of the formidable mathematical abilities of the parties to this dispute.)

This might be the wrong venue but with the popularity of randomware and more complex malware attacks, I'm saddened that one of Microsoft's premiere safety technologies, AppLocker, is license restricted.

AppLocker is system-wide whitelisting for those unaware. You can restrict which executables can execute based on a number of criteria of your choosing.

At work I have access to AppLocker thanks to our Enterprise editions. But at home, when I'm setting up relative's PCs (or even my own) I am lacking one of the most powerful tools in my arsenal.

Microsoft should CONSIDER putting AppLocker in retail editions, Enterprise still has a huge number of benefits beyond that[0], and you'd still not be able to centrally manage it. It would make the world better/safer place.

Keep in mind that BitLocker used to be Enterprise edition only too, but Microsoft came around to realizing that it had huge benefits for all users. AppLocker is the same way.

> I think it is really fallacious thinking when saying something would have been cheaper to build X years ago

Respectfully, could not disagree more. The more urban development there is, the harder these things get to build. It's probably impossible to do nowadays, and Seattle is a cesspit of traffic, even compared to other US cities. As far as maintenance or upgrades, please. Why do you brush your teeth?

Finally, can you measure quality of life, and if so, how much money is it worth? It's shameful that it's always an economic argument, usually by people who are already well-off. The list of benefits for mass rapid transit is endless, and at the end of the day, it's Americans who suffer for not having it, nobody else (except with environmental concerns, i.e. global warming).

You could also have a complex training job that trains a shallow model for a while, then uses it to train a deeper model, or extract an embedding from some layer and train a classical prediction model that uses the embedding as the feature vector.

But the point is that the right way to ensure safety is with realistic fixture-based integration testing. That’s not what static typing is for in that type of use case and is not a de facto benefit of static typing.

Your motte and bailey arguments on global warming are not the way to approach this. Global warming is not the phrase used in nomenclature anymore, it is climate change because the worry is that humans are throwing the climate out of stability. However, where true disagreement occurs from those arguing against climate change is the level of impact humans have on the climate. The various models have to make a determination on the feedback loop of carbon dioxide into the overall earth system; it varies from model to model. This leads to the issue which an honest debate can be had: If anthropogenic climate change is occurring that will cause real damage to the planet, what is the range to adjust to and what should be done about it? If you believe strongly that the damage is occurring, would you be willing to wage war on countries who disregard the globe's needs and bring them to heel for their non compliance? China is throwing out massive amounts of air pollutants, getting them to compliance means shutting down the electrical means of them bringing themselves out of poverty.

Equifax hack report sheds light on firm's dysfunctional IT department
I am however getting 10 to 15 spam calls a day

I recently bit the bullet on that and installed an app on my iPhone that blocks robo and spam calls. It's a subscription but considering how much productivity I loose due to spam calls I figure it's worth it. I had no idea Apple exposed an API that lets an app block calls but it works. Every once in a while a call slips through and I add it to their database. So far I've only missed one call I wanted and that was from Apple Developer Support. Apparently their auto-dialer is listed. Such is life.

> Nutrition experts say that besides their potential for harm, these popular diets are really hard to follow

You can probably attribute this more to the current food environment and less so the diet. If you only have access to food that agrees with your diet, it's pretty easy to follow. Restrictive food diets are difficult because all the restricted food (generally the restricted foods are ones that are full of "empty calories" or contribute to overeating) surrounds us. It's everywhere. Restaurants. Commercials. Grocery stores. Convenient stores. The break room. Your S.O.'s pantry. If you can manage to escape it, your diet is smooth sailing. Good luck over eating spinach and hard boiled eggs, your stomach will revolt.
“Google confirms it’s letting you choose to grant third parties access to your email so they can provide you services that they would try to provide you in unsupported/insecure ways if Google didn’t” just doesn’t have that ring I suppose.

But how long does it take for the munitions to detonate over the ground to when the aircraft is the target? Particularly the modern-era "dumb" bombs used over syria.

I'd imagine that takes a bit of time to hit the ground, unless it's rocket propelled. So you will probably hear the jet just as it's about to detonate, no?
My simple algorithm can easily be implemented by Apple, and made an optional configuration:

If the number is not in my contacts list I redirect it to voicemail.

I've always had an issue with systems assuming a universal time, because physics (Special Relativity) tells us there is no such thing. Two events in different places will be viewed as having a different order depending on your frame of reference. All that really matters on a physical level is causal connections.

I believe vector clocks capture this semantic. But they have other trade-offs.
Ipfs is very cool, but is not anonymous nor is a goal of the project.
Apple should definitely be more aggressive about blocking spam numbers.

Apple does some work in this area. I know that occasionally I will get calls on my iPhones that have a line underneath reading "Possible spam" or something similar. But I think it's more of a carrier issue than a device manufacturer issue.

IIRC, there was a mention in one of the previous keynotes about spam prediction being available in China. I don't know if that's the same tech or not, but that's the only time I can remember Apple mentioning it.
Just like any other email provider supporting POP3/IMAP.
I suspect that a lot of the successes people have with different diets are more of a result of moving from the terrible standard US diet to better foods than from the specific diet. When I look at what a lot of people eat every day almost every diet, be it vegan, keto, paleo, Mediterranean or whatever will be a huge improvement because they consume less junk food. It doesn't matter which one they pick.

This would be a big feature for me, whether spam blocking is done by the telephone companies or by Apple. I don't know why they aren't more aggressive about it either; it's not like the USPS, where the USPS makes more money off every piece of spam they deliver. Reducing spam calls would increase customer satisfaction, enhance the brand, and provide a competitive edge in the marketplace.

> And it's not expensive for someone to buy their own GPS clock and run their own leap-smared NTP service

This is a fun weekend hobby project that anyone can do at home if they are curious. Get a GPS chip with a PPS output signal, a plain old “hockey puck” antenna, and a computer to hook it up to (i have a rpi in my attic) and you can deliver fairly accurate time to your home network. Not a setup I’d rely on for a commercial, globally distributed deployment, but accurate enough for home use, and probably better than your current time source.
So you're saying we can alter our complete structure within the space of one generation?

That is pretty uplifting actually.
One of the things Cloudflare describes is their CT log for the RPKI, Cirrus.

I can see why they did that, CT was a huge benefit for the Web PKI and many of the things we did to the Web PKI are things they'd like to see happen for RPKI - more people using it, better technical compliance by issuers, more eyeballs on the problems, CT probably helped with some of those.

But the Web PKI is a vast sprawling mess. CT was necessary _because_ of that mess, we know we can't stop it being a mess, so we needed technology that could cope. The RPKI is neither vast, nor sprawling, nor especially messy.

A big part of what drove improvements to the Web PKI was the effort by people with the power to get things changed. In the case of the Web PKI that's Mozilla, the Mozilla community (since Mozilla is a charity) and to a lesser extent the big commercial vendors, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Oracle. CT was a _tool_ these players could use as part of that work, but on its own it didn't get the job done.

But in RPKI there isn't really an equivalent. Companies like Cloudflare don't have anywhere near the clout to get this done. Even the backbone providers don't. And if we're to expect the RIRs to fix it, they don't need any help getting insight on issuers when they themselves are the issuers.

So, Cirrus isn't hurting anything, but I hope its creators had very limited expectations and expended minimal resources getting it up, because I doubt it's a major part of the solution to our problems either.

Macros help remember which variables are in which registers by giving alias names to registers. I didn't think this requires explanation.

If a register is used for more than one purpose and there are multiple macros aliasing for it which look like distinct variable, that could be a problem. If there are enough registers so that a function can avoid this, then it isn't a problem.

Allowing a company to access your e-mail via a token is not very different than just giving them your e-mail password.

I think the article does a poor job of differentiating the fact that this has little to do with gmail, and everything to do with third-parties that are trying to access your e-mail.

Having an API is hardly something to be reprimanded over.
Yeah, if you can pick a secure password and the device is always on your person like a smartphone usually is, evil maid attacks are out as are most other blackbag techniques. The big problem is that entering a password like that is a real pain on mobile, especially on device unlock. You could potentially set a different password on boot vs on unlock - that's a tad trickier than the average user is likely to want to deal with, but entirely plausible for the paranoid power user.
That's too vague. You can't just handwave and say 'better food' and 'junk food'. For decades junk food was thought by many as food with lots of fat instead of lots of sugar.
In the UK, a service named TrueCall solved this problem very effectively for landlines. When you dial in, it checks the number from caller ID against a whitelist and if your number isn't pre-approved, you get prompted to press a number on the keypad and then say your name. The phone then rings (only if you actually pressed the number, which already stops most robo-dialler spam) and the caller is announced by name but has no opportunity to speak directly to the callee. If the callee approves, they can press a button and the call connects as normal (and optionally approves the number for coming straight through later). If the callee doesn't want to take the call, they push a different button and the caller gets to hear a prerecorded message and gets their number blocked.

This technology seems to come built into various mid-range landline phones now, and it has stopped almost 100% of junk calls since we last updated our equipment and got one of those, though it has occasionally confused legitimate callers as well and you do need to turn if off if you're genuinely expecting an automated call such as from your bank to validate something you're doing online. That's not much of a hassle though, and I don't see any reason something similar couldn't be done for mobile phones.
