I think the current attitude could be summed up better as "Who care's if it's inefficient, yesterday's computers are fast enough!" I think that's true of most software, but not all -- there will always be people who care about the best performance, but we shouldn't expect them to be in the majority.
Without timezones you'd have to know "when is noon where you are" (defining noon as the point where the sun is highest) or "what do most people start work there," either of which is the same amount of information to remember as timezone delta vs UTC.

I don't think there's particularly any advantage either way, but everyone would have to re-learn their tricks for dealing with timezones and instead learn tricks for dealing with the lack of them.

Umm, concerned about TLA agencies, you say; then how about FSB?
Aren't both devices different ?

The Ikea product is 3 wireless chargers that are connected to each other. The apple mat however, seems to be attempting a system where you can place the product anywhere on the mat and it just works. This does seem significantly more difficult to me.

Isn't there a clear distinction between both products ?
Right but this is actually being caused by very recent legislative changes. Things have started changing very quickly - particularly in the UK.
I’ve read the entire iOS security guide (seriously; version ~9/10), and while I don’t remember the specifics, I distinctly remember coming to the conclusion that I could not use most iCloud features as they did not provide the same privacy as on-devices features. I distinctly remember that your photos can be seen by Apple as that was the main thing I wanted to know.

Some things, like the keychain, are not accessible by Apple, and only on your enrolled devices.

> Why would a customer ever pay you more for the exact same thing as the guy across the street? Matching the price of your competition is the only hope you have of making a sale. If you don't take an identical cut, you won't have a business at all.

But if that were the case, I'd expect that e.g. gasoline prices roughly follow the ups and downs of crude oil prices. However, the reality seems to be different:

If it turns out that the pay was not fair after all, which it sounds like it isn't, then the employee should simply stop working there, because Amazon isn't holding up their end of the bargain.

It's as if you've willingly chosen to ignore over 100 years of collective bargaining, and the reasons for it, just to poorly make a point. If it were as facile as you make it out to be, we would have never had unions.
Performance is never a bad thing, even if I don't always need my terminal emulator to be able to handle large amounts of text, there is nothing wrong with having a light weight high performance (eventually cross platform, hopefully) modern terminal emulator. I read a while back that implementing the same in iterm2 (a popular macOS only terminal emulator) is challenging due to past design decisions [0]. Certainly in a time where hyper terminal[1] (based on electron) exists, I see no downside to having the option of Alacritty.

When you say "young people" and "older people", do you mean all young and older people, or the average young or older person?

If you mean the average, then you're saying something no different from any other prejudice. You can't judge an individual by the statistics of some group s/he belongs to.

If you mean all young/older people, you've been really lucky with the young people you know and really unlucky with the older ones.
Not really. Just use a safe zone inside general hours.
Just "clean" what we already have is more than enough, IMHO.

Just as someone who has done a decent amount of research on what would be the best/cheapest way to host my family email... I found that runbox.com had the best deal. You pay more for a base/master account w/ a custom domain ($35/yr and up) then you pay a lesser amount for sub-accounts ($8/yr and up). It quickly overtakes the 2-3/mon/account rates that the other providers cost.
Your username generally has to change if you don't like your email provider. Either that, or you host your own (ex: email@mydomain.blah).

That is a point though: moderators change over time and a moderation team you like one year may be grossly different 5-years from now. To "leave" to a new instance means to give up your old identity entirely.
In the article they mention that "The discerning viewer might notice that the MEGA logo is bleeding together a bit in the little vertical gap. We will tweak this. Also, the printing on the fronts of the keys is currently black instead of grey, and there is a little over-bleed on the graphical symbols. We will also get this fixed."

I'm not sure whether this will completely resolve the issue, but it seems likely to at least help. [EDIT: Just noticed that it specifically says "on the graphical symbols" so I'm not sure they'll be adjusting the lettering]
How does conditional rendering in Vue.js work? (YouTube video)
It can maybe change the Web, but not the Internet, and only a portion of it :)

ActivityPub is based on HTTP/JSON standards, for real-time solutions in other "out of Web" environments I'd prefer to use something like XMPP-Pubsub (that is built on top of TCP) directly.

XMPP can pretty much covers what ActivityPub offers (feeds, comments, articles publication) with a lot more related features (presences, contact list, video-conferencing, chatrooms…). Also, social features on XMPP are basically Atom 1.0 on top of Pubsub, so no need to convert Atom to some new JSON format, you simply embed it! (ArsTechnica on XMPP Pubsub https://nl.movim.eu/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica, or my personnal blog https://nl.movim.eu/?blog/edhelas@movim.eu).

Sequoia is what I thought of at first (mentioned in sibling comment), but Scala has something related:

http://scala-miniboxing.org/ldl/

Basically you can write an algorithm that is independent of the exact data layout, and then the compiler has some flexibility to work with.

I haven't worked with it all, just read the paper awhile ago. But I'm pretty sure they did something with SoA - AoS transformation (structure of arrays/array of structures). At the very least, the compiler can make the data smaller, which fits better in cache. Not sure if it can do anything more advanced than that (i.e. scaling to multiple levels of memory hierarchy rather than compacting data).

My memory of Sequoia is that it's very very far semantically from "Python" (mentioned in the original article). Their example was matrix multiplication, and the language had much more of a functional flavor (perhaps unsurprisingly). I'll have to go back and check it out again.

You can also think of MapReduce as a programming model that is locality-aware, and there have been several papers about multicore (not distributed) MapReduce.

You partition your data into smaller sections, then a user-defined "mapper" runs on each segment. The shuffle is an efficient distributed sort which you don't have to write -- it can be specialized to different problem sizes. And then the user-defined reducer also operates on a (different) small partition of data.

I think the real problem is that the ISA doesn't really expose the memory hierarchy to the programming language, not necessarily that the programming language doesn't expose it to the programmer. GPGPU might change that but I'm not entirely familiar with it.
Any news on writes? I assume no... :/

In 1984 I had a coworker who booted his Unix workstation and found that the date was Jan 1, 1970. The battery that powered the clock that kept the time when the system was off had died.

He set the time to the correct time.

Cron then tried to start every cron job that would have run between Jan 1, 1970 and the current date in 1984.

That's about 120k instances for every hourly job, 5k instances for every daily job, 700 instances for every weekly job, and a mere 170 instances for every monthly job.

That completely locked up the workstation.

It was hilarious.

2018.38 Three versus Six – Weekly Changes in and Around Perl 6
This seems like revisionist history. From the seventies thru the beginning of the nineties, the national homicide rate was double to triple what it is today. We had real crime problems in the "Tough On Crime" era, and we were hitting record crime rates.

A lazy Wiki snip:

Violent crime nearly quadrupled between 1960 and its peak in 1991. Property crime more than doubled over the same period. Since the 1990s, however, crime in the United States has declined steeply.

I'm sure there was probably always some racial influences, e.g. perhaps people were more willing to hand out harsh sentences because the defendants were mostly black. But to say that "Tough On Crime" was really just a cover to marginalize african americans & nothing more... it just seems like a stretch when you suggest everyone was in on it.

First rule of meet club: The meeting must have a purpose.

Second rule of meet club: The meeting MUST have a purpose. If there is no goal, there is no meeting.

Third rule of meet club: The meeting must end when that purpose is completed. If new problems arise, that is now a second meeting, not a continuation of the first.

Fourth rule of meet club: Only the people essential to the purpose may be invited. People who are nonessential may and should excuse themselves at any convenient time.

Fifth rule of meet club: Meetings must result in a defined action: Continued observation is an action, but doing nothing is not allowed.

Sixth rule of meet club: If you don't write down what the purpose was, who was there, and what action was taken, none of it counts.

Accusing people of being ‘uncompassionate’ on zero evidence is not exactly innocuous - it’s sadly common on the internet, but it’s still a pretty jerk move.
Yeah, I have a Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The photo example I mentioned in another comment was definitely all on one device (I took the photo on my phone, sent it from my phone, and received the out-of-order response on my phone), but maybe even the presence of iCloud syncing is enough to screw it up.
There's definitely not an oversupply of skilled labor, there is just a ton of noise in the hiring process right now.

Our software engineering job posts on LinkedIn & Indeed generate hundreds of applicants per day, the vast majority of which can't code at all. Attempting to sift through them is just too costly so we mostly use alternate sources: tech recruiters, more selective job sites. The problem is those sources heavily filter themselves and don't always use the most fair criteria.

We used to have unique challenge problems online to offer a more level playing field, but solutions were constantly posted to github so even that became quite time-consuming to maintain.

We're still hiring at a decent rate, but do have more headcount than we can fill right now. There are definitely qualified candidates out there but attempting to filter them from the mass of applicants is difficult.
> So.. I like this direction, but haven't the "decentralized social network" been tried a few times already? What different this time?

It seems to be all an evolution. Gnu Social -> OStatus -> ActivityPub -> PeerTube.

As all things open source, every few years, a new innovation builds on top of already established communities and tries something new. True, ActivityPub / Masteodon are relatively new, but the roots of the network are well planted in the general Fediverse.

I disagree.

Anecdotally, my company is an ANSI C + ClearCase shop. Anytime discussion comes up about transitioning to safer languages like C++ or about using different VCS like Git or Mercurial it is shot down immediately by the senior developers who feel that those things are faddish.

Anecdotally, my parents always hated Windows and Microsoft Office upgrades because they would no longer be able to navigate the UIs. They became extremely resistant to upgrading anything that required them to relearn anything.

Heck, there's ancient adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" - why does that saying exist if it doesn't contain a kernel of truth??

There may be some older developers who are the exception to this, but my argument is that generally the older you get, the more entrenched your opinions and patterns become.

That's not necessarily a bad thing since those opinions and patterns were forged through decades of experience and hence contain much wisdom, but at a certain point when you are still using ANSI C and ClearCase in 2018 because there's "no need to switch to faddish version control like Git when ClearCase works perfectly fine" you are no longer fairly evaluating the technologies available on the market.
What do you mean by GANs-as-a-service here? I'm not sure that our understanding of GANs is refined enough to offer something like "a framework for letting non-experts train a GAN to do cool things" outside of a very limited scope - there are lots of issues with things like making sure that the generator/discriminator converge and avoiding oscillations back and forth between either winning, that can unexpectedly ruin your training.

On the other hand, if you mean "startups that use GANs to build cool systems, such as manipulable latent spaces for interesting data" then I totally agree! For example, we're using GANs to train voice conversion systems, which let you manipulate a space of voice representations to make new voices, which you can then sound like. I definitely expect to see a lot of startups doing interesting things like that popping up!
Your points may all be valid, but I don't really care. I could debate them, but I won't. Why should I care about constitutional principles when my political enemies don't? I want to see Twitter and Facebook destroyed through regulation, to be quite blunt.

Even SIMD, a feature of processors for over 20 years, is not handled well by compilers for automatic optimization. It seems like all code taking advantage of SIMD either drops into ASM, or uses a library from ARM/Intel to give descriptive C functions names for the underlying ASM.

You know deeply about subjects X, Y and Z. There's an information source where every time you read about X, Y or Z, the article is wrong. You know that because you know X, Y and Z.

There are also subjects A, B and C. You know next to nothing about them. When you read something about them on that same source, you can't know if it is correct. So why would you even expect it not to be wrong too?

This is mostly a result of words. If someone who committed a crime 2 years ago and someone who committed a crime 42 years ago are both "former criminals", people will avoid both of them.

That tendency is built in to a system where individuals are also responsible for reporting on their own performance. Poor performing managers will of course find an explanation where someone else is to blame - it's a self-service bias that everyone has, managers are no exception. Managers have firing power and they are also accountable for project success, so it's best for them to throw a senior guy under the bus, since it's their best chance for a do-over on a failed project. If the bad manager can keep doing this long enough, eventually they get the job done.

I think I found myself in this dynamic a couple of times. Though I should point out that senior engineers have the same self-service bias of course, so you can't just take their word for it that a bad manager is to blame. I don't think it really helps to get consensus from the team either. Since once the manager has targeted a scapegoat, everyone knows it's risky for them to criticize their manager, and also one less senior guy on the team is good for their chances of promotion.
