This is nonsense. Our ancestors only survived because they could be doing all kinds of stuff (you know, stuff that was necessary to survive) while the kids were playing around and keeping themselves busy. Children are more capable than we give them credit for. It's about making your interactions meaningful when you have them, not staring at them all the time. This is the kind of mindset that makes children grow up to be anxiety-ridden young adults. The studies show that emotional trauma (i.e. NOT "dad was looking at his phone when I bumped my head and wasn't staring directly at me", but actual trauma) causes problems in adolescence and adulthood. But most parenting within the normal range just does not matter. At all. Take a look at The Nurture Assumption, or read a primer: https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/03/parenting-doesnt-ma...
What you're describing is to be expected. In 2001, the percentage of people on the Internet that were tech geeks and aware of OSI and GNU was much higher than today, and so they could more easily control the narrative. Today they are in the minority.

I've seen this in many activist communities. They (likely unintentionally) pick regular language to mean something very specific, and then spend endless amounts of time arguing that everyone else is using their terminology incorrectly. It's a huge waste of time. The rational thing to do is give your concepts unambiguous names - not ones where the majority that speak the English language could take to mean something else.

>I fear that the bad old days were so far back now that people no longer remember why this stuff is important.

Lumping those who disagree with your terminology with people who disagree with your philosophy isn't going to help the cause either. It alienates allies. In my experience, people by and large agree that it is important and are favorable with it. They merely disagree with the terminology.

And that's the other thing that happens with ideological movements. As they grow, many fall into a local optimum where the focus is on purity. Who amongst us is pure enough to be in our circle? We'll keep devising ways to root them out (insistence on poor terminology being one way).
To be frank? An Apple logo.

Third-party stuff isn't sufficiently sticky. If Apple wants games on their platform, they need their own controller. It might even be best if it comes in the box.

I don't, however, think they really care that much.
I think the app was applying filters to a large image on the fly as she was doing that, so it’s not unimpressive.

Indeed. I think the handling of Fedora (and/or maybe even CentOS?) will be the main indicator of where IBM is heading with the Red Hat acquisition. Personally, I hope their actions are quick if they do anything negative. I use Fedora and CentOS a good amount and would like to know sooner, rather than later, if I should move to a different distro.

Yup totally understood. We have a much smaller (but still massive) supercomputer for $REAL_JOB where there is always a queue of work to do with embarrassingly parallel jobs or ranks and ranks of MPI work to do. When we add more resources, the users simply can run their work faster, but it never really stops no matter how much hardware we add.

As much as people love to hate them, I'd love to see you get IO profiles remotely similar to what you can get with Lustre or Spectrum Scale (gpfs). They're simply in an entirely different ballpark compared to anything in any public cloud.

I live in New Orleans and this rings true to me. It sucks because many times there is something special about the place that led it to become a tourist destination in the first place, whether it's natural wonders like mountains or a beach, a culture that produces new musical genres every few decades, or a historical legacy of art and architecture. It is nice to live in these environments and it sucks that cheap commodified travel and packaged tourism is exacerbating the problems that come from an economy based on serving tourists.
Love this response. So many here are advocating building up a tolerance to the garbage of the internet instead of learning the important parts.

This is what it means to be computer literate, not snapchat experience, which will be another myspace in five years.

What sort of storage are you using? Often the best remedy is to get a new SSD. You can copy you entire OS and all over with the free Mac app Superduper
I have felt the same way in the past. There are some ways to do this, but none is great. Unfortunately using a text editor to put in the notebook text areas is not that straightforward because of security features in modern browsers. Since jupyter is actually a server (usually running locally) it's possible to communicate directly with it from a sufficiently advanced editor, but haven't seen any good execution of that idea. There's also the ipymd (https://github.com/rossant/ipymd) format, which is just markdown, and seems more or less what you want, but you lose the interactivity and display of images/plots/HTML/etc. Personally, I've found the "jupyter-vim-binding" (https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding) to be a relatively acceptable emulation of vim keybindings for the code editing.

How Financial Services Firms can digitize their sales and marketing processes
Your coworker buying a BMW is not abuse, but BMW causing you to want to buy one through their marketing is.

Selling a product is passive. Advertising that product is active.
A company selling a product is not abuse.
However, stores serve as advertisements for the products they sell.
I would say that such stores - and the salespeople within them - are abusive.

> my kids only activate ads accidentally and then have to come to me to figure out how to get out of the trap that the ad has led them into, since closing the ad can be tricky.

Advertising aside, would you agree imposing a difficult to navigate user interface is abusive? I would.
Tourism is a low value-added industry with little to provide beyond low quality service jobs. I mean, it's clear considering that Italy is one of the most visited countries in the world and yet things aren't so hot there.

On the other hand, why do you falsely assume that acceptance of refugees has to have no limits or conditions? I'm saying that you can achieve a level of practical balance for two different areas on unrelated motives.
Out of curiosity, what other options are there?
Now add in the 2TB SSD and 10gb Ethernet.
One thing I was missing from the presentation: Can it finally connect both a keyboard and a pencil, i.e. does it have magnets on both sides?

Yeah, that's the reason not to advertise to children!
You can get a quad-core 28W NUC for $500 with TB3, so there is already a cheap precedent that is as powerfull (though limited to 32GB RAM with current SO-DIMMs).

Not at the time. I bought my (lowest end model) mid-2011 Mac Mini new at $499.

I just retired it a couple months ago. So, a 7 year life span. It wasn't a bad investment.

And I could still use it for stuff if I wanted. It just won't run the latest and greatest macOS.
If you ever have used an R Notebook written in R-Markdown, then its pretty easy to see why Jupyter Notebooks putting everything in JSON is just... infuriatingly wrong-headed. In an R Notebook, I can see my code, I can see my text, everything is exceedingly simple to understand, and I can edit it in any of the fantastic text editors out there (Jupyter's editor is not among them)

Not in Canada or the US. We have vast prairies that used to be inhabited by millions of bison. Now a fraction of it is inhabited by cattle instead.

>water requirements vs other types of protein.

How is temporarily using local water in the US, which is returned to the natural water cycle, causing deforestation in South America or Africa or Asia?

>This is a huge blanket statement to make as well as being factually inaccurate.

Then provide contradictory evidence. I can not exhaustively prove every single ranch in the US isn't clear cutting forests. You only need to provide a single example to disprove me. Please do.
No, don't backtrack. You hit the nail on the head.

It is abuse. It is manipulation. It is deceit. Mendacity at it's most essential form. It's predating on a limited resource (attention) in an attempt to push out any other options by hooking you through as high a mental form of stimulation as possible.

There is no need or excuse for that type of behavior. We just justify it because we've allowed an entire industry to spring up around it unchecked. Only halting that industry's ability to exploit unchecked in the most vulnerable populations after extraordinarily drawn out legal battles.

Tobacco and alcohol are about the only two markets I can think if with explicitly constrained marketing practices. Gambling too, in terms of game design, which I still think is close enough in desired effect to be considered a marketing practice.

Can marketing be a good thing? Yes! When the consumer is actively searching for it. In it's current form? It represents an unwanted, unwarranted invasion of privacy often foisted on users with no recourse.

Rethinking our property system need not be draconian. The economic solutions to a steady state economy have been on the shelf for years. The ideology of growth will need a humiliating defeat, and then folks will be ready to accept alternatives.

I'm glad they fixed the awful UX on charging the pencil. Also stoked there's no notch in the screen, but sad that there's rounded corners.

Still no ability to let people make apps for the iPad on the iPad, which I think is truly disappointing.

You don't understand what you are talking about.

EKC works with pollutants that have short term, acute consequences. Think sulfates, nitrates, carbon monoxide, etc.

EKC has not been proven true with pollutants whose effects are less concentrated and whose effects take longer to realize (CH4, CO2, etc). The catastrophes I'm referring to have little to do with the paper you cited.
not really. it's just authoritarian. people need to stop using fascistic when they mean authoritarian.
haha you have no idea how many people you are going to anger with your comment
Well that is appropriately disappointing.
I did that for many years but got fed up of landing on blogs that would display a blank page because you absolutely need javascript to render a few paragraphs of text in a browser.

Yes, they apparently dropped the jack here too. They probably did not say anything to avoid the same backslash as the iPhone.
>There is a loud minority of people who disagree

The minority is those who insist on the OSI definition as the only appropriate way to use "open source".

>mainly people who are wondering if in the future they can exploit open source community in a similar manner.

The problem I'm seeing is the labeling of people who disagree about a single point (terminology) as bad actors (i.e. people who are bent on "exploiting"). As I mentioned in another comment, this is sadly a common path that ideological movements take - attributing intentions to others, and focusing on rooting out impure adherents.
Thanks! Here's the relevant bit for others:

> We implemented a virtual fly visual system using standard deep learning libraries (Keras). Our implementation uses approximately 25,000 artificial neurons, whereas Drosophila have approximately 60,000 neurons in each visual hemisphere [16]. We purposefully did not model neurons that are structurally suggestive to respond to movement, and therefore we were specifically limited to ‘modular’ neurons (with 1 neuron/column) throughout the medulla. The connections between neuronal types were extracted from published connectomes [17]. We imposed artificial hierarchy on our model eliminating self-connections between neuron ‘subtypes’ (i.e. no connections between L1 and L1, or L1 and L2), and while we allowed initial layers to feed into multiple downstream layers, we eliminated ‘upstream’ connections. The final lobula-like artificial neurons were modelled after Wu et al. [15], where the layers were ordered according to their axon penetration deeper into the system. Our ability to model Drosophila’s visual system is further limited to the connectivity, ignoring the sign (excitatory or inhibitory), as well as the neurons’ intrinsic membrane properties. The ability to create more biologically realistic simulations will increase once these properties are discovered and integrated into the connectome. The model is illustrated in Fig 2B, beside the biological inspiration (Fig 2C). S1 Table depicts a complete connection map and hierarchy, and S2 Table shows comparative performance of this model on a traditional image-classification dataset. Additional details are provided in S1 Methods.
And now it and other "natural" cures are being pushed by supposedly educated doctors.

Interesting thing about Summit and Sierra: the CPUs and GPUs are connected via nvlink rather than PCIe, which reduces the well known cost to move data to GPU.
Nintendo seems to be doing quite well at this. Why would we not have the same expectation for Apple?
Because iPads are popular products made by a large technology company?
Because Asia likes 12" displays and EU/US likes 13" displays
You're correct, that definition is more appropriate.

USB-C is considerably bigger than Lightning while offering arguably no major benefit for an almost entirely wireless device.

Think size doesn’t really matter that much? The iPhone XR actually pushes the lightning port down slightly off center to make room for the LCD display. The XR would literally be impossible to make with USB-C.

I think this essentially means the bezels are the same width the entire way round.
I don't know about the emergency that's pretty much always how I wind up charging my Apple Pencil. It's fast enough that it's way more convenient than finding that tiny adapter.
Yeah pretty much. The bezels are smaller than on current ipads, but yeah "edge to edge" is definitely a stretch.
Ha...you posted this 11 minutes ago as of right now. 12 minutes ago I found a similar link citing Bluebook abbreviations and posted a "never mind, I figured it out note" (and mentioned I felt silly for not noticing it right away--I went to law school in Washington and so spent three years seeing "Wash." on the spines of case reports).

It took me 12 minutes to post because I tossed in some explanations for people not familiar with legal citations. As soon as I posted, I saw yours, and deleted mine as redundant.

There is one thing, though, that I discovered working on that post and am curious about now. I picked a case at random to use as an example, Peterson v. City of Seattle, 316 P.2d 904, 51 Wash. 2d 187 (1957).

Here's a link to the Washington Supreme Court's opinion:

https://law.justia.com/cases/washington/supreme-court/1957/3...

Within the opinion they cite the case as 51 Wn.2d 187 (1957) at the top. Inside the opinion they cite some Washington cases as Wn and some as Wash. I could see no obvious patter as to which they pick.

Anyone happen to know offhand what determines which form they use?
It definitely looks interesting.

One challenge I face, though, is that I'm unwilling to let my Facebook account break out of its silo by linking it to anything else (and of course I'd love to kill it entirely) so event discovery becomes more challenging without the private groups I'm currently a member of and family/friends information FB currently holds.
Which "superior alternative", and do you have proof that it's superior? This is a very divisive topic and I wasn't aware there was consensus on the "superior" solution.
How so? iOS doesn’t have a cursor.
That's part of the fun of it for me. Getting close to the metal, having to worry about electronics, debugging with an oscilloscope or, if you're lucky, an UART etc...

Regarding development tools that's a bit orthogonal, you can code for your 8bit AVR controller with Visual Studio if you really want to. Personally I don't care much for full blown IDEs and automatic refactoring so I use Emacs with dumb completion and cscope/ctags and I'm good to go but to each their own.

If you like quick prototyping and are used to develop iteratively through heavy use of the debugger I can see how it could be incredibly frustrating though. It's a different mindset and a different approach. Still, as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't trade it for all the JS jobs in the world.
Recent article reported: “So many animals will go extinct in the next 50 years that it will take Earth at least 3 million years to recover”

Add to that the impacts of the technosphere (the artifacts of humanity which would not have existed in our absence) which was reported to be 30 trillion tons in 2016. Our impact to climate. Our impact to geography.

Sure, in all likelihood there will be a big round ball hanging around in our solar system despite humanity’s best efforts. But that seems like a distinction without a difference. To say the argument is disingenuous would be generous.
>> (to say nothing of the lack of an official gaming controller!)

Apple themselves does not publish an 'official' gaming controller, no, instead they offer a number of third-party controllers at a quite nice build quality at prices that are comparable to buying a new PS4/XBOX controller:

The google pixel 2015 was the top of the heap for ports. 2 usb-c ports, headphones!, 2 usb-a, sd card. All laptops should have this. It's just endless pain. Certainly 2 usb-c ports are better than 1. But why not put 4? Even better usb-c + usb-a.
Yes, I'm critical of the presenters that Apple chooses often but I thought that comment made sense in the context, especially coming from someone that was likely more an Artist than a technologist.

Again, this is plain racism. This is the precise definition of judging a group of people solely based on their race. Refuse to see that things like IQs and crime rate can be affected by so much factors than race if you must. Say "black people exhibit higher crime rate, so it must be genetic" while overlook the mere spurious correlation behind it, but at least acknowledge it. You are racist.
Blockchain Technology Disrupting the Real-Estate Industry
Doubt they would do it, but their own spin on the Nintendo seal of quality, with a floor of $50-$60 USD (and their own spin on "Selects" a few years later dropping some of those prices to $20USD) with some mandates on what that seal of quality means (performance, software features, hardware support, &c.) and they might turn that gaming ship around.

Among their requirements they could list: Apple TV with Controller support (allowing devs to ditch the useless support for the Remote), some online features (some rebranded version of Game Center), Mac support (for Macs that support the latest iterations of Metal).

It's the little things.
LOL. So avoid complexity by writing in VanillaJS, but feel free to load an enormous frontend library for a single component. Makes sense.
