Anyone who thinks Google doesn't already have all of that mined data on you, wether you are signed into sync or not, is kidding themselves.Google search, Google plus, chrome, play, Android, analytics, wifi, isp services- that already know where you go on the internet. By not syncing your fooling yourself into believe that your internet usage is yours.
This is indeed a key point in John Gustafson's arguments: With floats, even though there are specialized flags and values that let you detect certain problematic situations, these flags are often not readily accessible in programming languages, and hence these issues tend to go unnoticed.
Do you know how many views Easter sermons get, or are you just assuming it's not much? I would be quite surprised if the youtube algorithm is looking at video editing style.
That's a red herring. We're not discussing a security bug -- the system is working as designed. The problem is that the goal is not desirable, and the standards and code are complex to the point that an independent implementation is intractable.
my mechanical engineering curriculum included a basic numerical methods course in 3rd year along with a finite difference heavy heat transfer course, then optional courses on FEA and CFD in fourth year, that get you through the theoretical backing and writing your own solvers.

Show HN: A productivity journal for the mildly depressed
A few months ago, I underwent in-patient treatment for depression. I created a productivity journal based on the activities and methods that I learned during treatment. The Mood and Productivity Journal (https://www.moodcheckin.com/store/p2/mpjournal) is different from journals I've used before because it encourages you to track not just how much you got done, but also how you're feeling every day. Weekly retrospectives help you identify what affects your mood on a long-term basis so you can take specific steps towards
feeling better.

A hardcopy version of the journal is available at: https://www.moodcheckin.com/store/p2/mpjournal

A downloadable "lite" version is available for free at: https://www.moodcheckin.com/store/p7/mpjournal_lite_edition
Wrong. The claim that you make has been subjected to scientific testing already and it has been shown to be bogus. There is no evidence for human-god communication and there is no evidence for gods.
The numeric keypad on computers has stayed remarkably consistent given how adept manufacturers are at moving the other keys around the keyboard. It is not a given that Page Up/Down, cursor keys, the delete key and others will be where you expect them to be by convention, these keys can be moved around for 'designer reasons' even on keyboards from the same manufacturer (yes, you, Logitech).

I have yet to see the numeric keypad on the left for left handed users that type in lots of numbers, e.g accountants, data entry clerks etc. We also never had desktop computers integrated into landline phones with a 'phone lock' button to switch over to 'dial someone' mode. At all times the numeric keypad has opted to follow convention as defined by the original IBM PC circa 1981.
To me spectrum implies a single dimension, i.e. the spectrum of light is just based on wavelength. But this metaphor doesn't really fit with politics, which at best can be reduced to two dimensions (in my opinion), and realistically is a lot more.
There's no implication there.
Reordering tabs via touch should work, it was fixed in Firefox 59 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1362065). And yes, pinch zoom is not supported (we do text/reflowing zoom, but not mobile-style pinch zoom). It's something that's being worked on but there's a lot of dependencies in order to get it done.
It's not about normalization, it's about loss function. Softmax is required by cross entropy minimization (negative log-likelihood to be precise), which works somewhat better in practice than mean squared error (MSE) minimization (which needs no normalization of outputs).
Even worse, though the comments I was replying to seem to indicate that you are wrong?
Magic software.

> this approach is very common in Unix world, with memory-mapped HW registers represented by C structs and so on

The "correct" way to do this is to write the bare minimum assembly needed to present this view to a programmer in C (so there's no need to worry about undefined behavior), then write standards compliant code from there. Writing all this code in C is just papering over the fact that what you're doing is architecture-specific and should be treated as such.
Theres also generally a lot more space to work in a plane

Spot welds can also end up blind but I would say the painted part is the most problematic bit. And it's not worth the effort of trying to strip down the car to then put it back together again. And then be sure you got the process 100% right.

Seems more likely to remove all the valuable bits of interior, engine, suspension, etc and then roll a new body. If they even bother doing that.
Google already forces the "Account Chooser" for web sign out on everyone with no option to disable. This is all related.

There was previously a link to an opt-out switch that set a cookie to disable account chooser, but Google have now removed that. They don't like to give people choice, not even advanced users.

Account chooser basically re-invents the concept of signing out. Google keeps your name and email displayed on the page after sign out. It takes multiple annoying clicks to "remove account" from the account chooser.

Their suggestion to use private browsing mode to sign in, is not always convenient. Often you just want to sign out properly with one click, as per the way the rest of the world does it, and have no record of your credentials lurking around. Google says no to that, and forces their account chooser on everyone for their own agenda, and nothing to do with user preference.

Sometimes I think the law should step in, as it does with privacy. "Sign out" should mean exactly that, nothing less.
Web Developer here. I find Safari to be much faster than Chrome. I still use Chrome as my "work" browser due to the ecosystem of useful extensions (react, graphql, a11y, etc). But I close Chrome at 5pm, and when I need to do non-developer-y things, Safari is a much more pleasant experience (especially now that it has favicons).
Very nice!

Coming back to this discussion after a few hours, I see that many of the comments are more concerned with not apologizing than on apologizing. It's your loss, folks!

Having the confidence to know when an apology is appropriate and to apologize properly and sincerely, is not a humiliation but a reflection of your own strength of character.

I love parrots, they make fantastic pets. However, your comparison to a small child is very good - they have the nature and intelligence of a human 3 year old.

Parrots are wild birds, they have not been domesticated for ten thousand years like dogs, and it is probably not humane to keep them in a cage. If you want a happier parrot, then get a breeding pair. They won't be as affectionate their owner though, as they have a mate.
Before that, even.
> Container tabs are a similarly interesting idea with a weird implementation that requires you to micromanage your tabs, which I certainly don't want to

You might want to take a look at the Firefox Multi-Account Containers Add-on, it lets you set domains to always open in a given container, which cuts down on the micromanagement a lot once you get it "trained". [edit: This is not well-advertised, it's accessed through the context menu (right-click) on a page when you have it open in that container]

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multi-account-conta...

> i.e. all web sites should be "contained"

It's possible to enable this for most intents and purposes with "1st party isolation", which came from the Tor browser. Some info here:

https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/firefox-fpi
On mine I see the new icon but when I click on the menu that pops up has a "sign in to Chrome" button that you can click. I wonder if it hasn't signed me in yet because my Gmail cookie hasn't expired and so I haven't retyped my user name and password since it upgraded.
> I offered to stay on full-time for half-pay and half-equity.

There's a lot of red flags here ... some random advice:

1) Ensure your deal is in writing.

2) To protect your equity, you need to be in the room when new investments are negotiated. Otherwise you will be diluted or new options pools created without you even knowing.

3) Business people think very little of programmers in general, until they need to hire one. To them, you're a secretary with an attitude.

4) a product launch costs about $1 million. If they have money for that, then they can also pay your salary

5) It's irrelevant to you whether the CEO is taking a salary or not. Unless you have access to the books, how do you even know? It seems that generally CEOs land on their feet.

6) The shares you think they gave you "clutter up the cap table" and make it more difficult to get investors later. Typically VCs try to wipe out the angel investors (who have lawyers.) Guess what they'll do to a programmer.

Show HN: Real time sign language translation using deep learning
It's not a matter of arrogance but of money. You have to understand when it comes to google, you are the product, not the customer. Google's real customers are big ad buyers. They listen to large ad buyers. Look how quickly they "cleaned" up search results and youtube videos when ad buyers complained.

Us complaining to google about poor treatment is like sheep complaining to shepherds or vegetables complaining to the farmer about poor treatment. Nobody would care. But if the shepherd or farmer's customers complained, they would listen very closely because it affects their bottom line.

Especially now that google has a monopoly position on search and online videos, they have even less reason to care about what the products ( you and me ) say.
Everyone keeps saying this, I think it's time for me to switch. How are the dev tools compared to Chrome?

How about this as a compromise: use GCC, with all its flags, to generate the assembly, and just use that? Skip the messy transition step.

RMS on parrots:

DON'T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for me. To
acquire a parrot is a major decision: it is likely to outlive you. If
you don't know how to treat the parrot, it could be emotionally
scarred and spend many decades feeling frightened and unhappy. If you
buy a captured wild parrot, you will promote a cruel and devastating
practice, and the parrot will be emotionally scarred before you get it.
Meeting that sad animal is not an agreeable surprise.

Correction: I think it was the ability to turn off the in-window "downloaded file bar" pop-up, which could(?) only be dismissed by manually closing it.

There are a lot of different bug reports out there asking for a flag, and apparently the Chrome team added one, then disabled it a few patches latter.

I forget what I was doing at the time (downloading PDFs for a uni course?). But it was a pain in the ass, of dubious utility anyway, and the cavalier UX attitude of "father knows best" left a really bad taste.

First, if you've had good outcomes on your businesses with this person, are you really sure that you want to pull out the fire hammer? The problem with the fire hammer is that you're almost certainly going to kill off the relationship and run a serious risk of poisoning a large part of your shared network. For example, you raised $120k, which makes me think you both have a relationship with the investor(s) involved. What could that fallout really look like? You've had good outcomes on your businesses, which tells me that the two of you can work very well together.

Second, really think about the kinds of phrases that you use in this. Consider phrases like this:

- He's not being able to catch up.

- I can't waste more time.

- Should I wait until December?

- He's very good for areas that the company doesn't need now.

Are you sure that the problem isn't you? First, you started a company with someone knowing it was outside of his comfort zone and that his skills would be most valuable in two years. Are you sure you want to fire someone because you made a poor choice?

Honestly, you sound like you're lacking empathy. Part of founding a company with someone is having a level of empathy towards that person. Without empathy towards a co-founder, there's no way that you'll be able to identify with customers or employees enough to build something special.

As well, do you mostly communicate in writing? If so, is it possible that he just doesn't understand what you're saying? Again, I'm not trying to offend you, but your writing is hard to follow.

Third, this should go without saying, but don't fire anyone in December. That's just a colossal dick move.
I think container tabs conflates several things that won't be understandable to non-techies. One is privacy — preventing sites from abusing cross-site concerns such as cookies for tracking.

The other is what could be described as "focus" or "modality". A lot of people use windows as a poor man's workspace. For example, if I'm researching where to travel, I'll have a window open with tons of tabs — Google Flights, Kayak, Tripadvisor, Booking.com, all jammed into one "workspace". If I'm comparison shopping for one specific thing, there'd be Amazon, Jet, Etsy, eBay, etc. This is how people tend to work: Windows separate modes, tabs separate units of focus within that mode. And yet there's no browser that supports such a way of working. We have to accept that people now "live" within the Internet, and need to support different modes. Rather than think of the browser as a shell, why not think of the browser as a world in which you can open up different types of interacting with that world? For example, a Google Doc tab is not something that works very well as a tab. It's a document, representing its own modality. Slack is an app, also its own modality. A "workspace" is something else again. And so on. These are all "applications" in a classical sense, yet work within the context of a user.

I'm not suggesting a ChromeOS, just that what we think of as "the web" could be rethought in terms of different variations — ways to work — with the same thing.

Also, in terms of privacy, why are we still using cookies? Why are we "logging in" and "logging out" of web sites and having password managers that automatically fill out form fields? Why can't the web site negotiate its session with the browser ("I want an identity for gmail.com, please give me one"), which can already know who I am?
I just looked up your paper with Nie and indeed you’re just using a particular set of patterns with multiple dispatch and metaprogramming. Nothing is fundamentally different than other ways of implementing the same thing that don’t rely on parametric abstraction.

You seem not to know about numba and Cython given that you responded with a comment about scipy using FORTRAN, which is not relevant. You can do the exact same multiple dispatch patterns with Cython fused types, and with several dispatch techniques in numba.

Look, I’m glad people like your library. It doesn’t change the larger points about this type of design pattern being premature abstraction.

It's not that they don't understand C, it's that they willfully ignore the C standard and have enough clout that compilers capitulate with flags to support their slightly modified but not quite C. And so yes, you cannot write a kernel in pure C.

They are mostly the same. I think they look better on Firefox.

Firefox has no websockets inspector which chrome has but it does have a CSS grid view tool which chrome doesn't have. There was a bunch of new improvements to the Firefox dev tools recently but I haven't checked them out yet.

I assume they're talking about the use of google analytics on the about:addons page discussed here: https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/2785

Two things to note from that thread:

From what I've read, Mozilla had some agreement with Google to keep all the data from their tracking stuff silo'ed so it wasn't aggregated with other data and wasn't used for anything besides showing back to Mozilla people.

and

They're now (and have been for more than a year) respecting DNT, removing the GA code so that you don't make any requests to google if you have that enabled.

There are ways of informing the compiler of your intentions; using idioms such as memcpy, for example. The compiler will peer through the function call and generate the code you want.
Ask HN: A 0 knowledge farmer want to in Google
hey guys

sorry if my question is a bit stupid.

For many years, I searched around the WWW trying to find a learning list, which can let a 0 tech background person like me (a farmer, only know 1+1=2 math, and lame english too) can learning the everyting about the computer, step by step, from how each part of PC works, how data transferred between, and how operating systems work from the underground, how to learn a programming language in the outs, how to finally become a AI expert...goes on and on

I tried some courses and books and found there are all very hard to understand, but I know, I 100% sure, there must be very good teaching materials on WWW.

then...

I heard people recommend a book called: head first series, I picked a book html&css and I loved it very much! But I know there are still a ton of books I need to learn, the real question is: is there a complete list, cover everyting, I mean, everything!

from math (I know math is necessary to become an AI expert), to hardware, software, etc, but I can't find a compelete list...

I can't enter a CS course in a university anymore for apparent reason, farming things on my land everyday, but I love tech, AI, all these things, finally I want to be a real expert, that can code my own things, design AI related projects on my off time.

yes, my title is tricky, I didn't mean to go to Google etc big companies, just I mean, I want to have the same knowledge as those guru (Google employee are all monsters right?)

Bottom line:

I want to be an AI/computer scientist, is there a very detailed guideline for this purpose? Especially for an idiot people who know nothing before like me?!

That is exactly my approach to this issue (and at least gcc seems to be clever enough to mostly optimize the abstraction layer away). On the other hand you will see the direct approach with structs directly mapping to hardware, questionable uses of volatile to make the thing actually work and so on very often in various production code.

Agreed. There are some particularly egregious ones where the behavior should at the very least be implementation defined.
