It took me a while to interpret this, but I think I see what you're getting at here.

You're right that the competition dynamic doesn't have to be the one we choose.

So I suppose there's a fourth option which involves some sort of other distribution mechanism. You're still going to have a privileged group though, unless you choose to eliminate experiences (e.g. there's no way of fairly distributing private jets, they're not private any more if you do that).
Author here with several of the core team; we can answer some questions here. We also have a post on r/machinelearning for further discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/9spw5g/p_g...
In the same way that hard drives didn't kill off tape, SSD won't kill off hard drives. The price differential is too great for many applications and they have different operational strengths and weaknesses.
The Mac Mini (standard configs) are pretty comparable to the latest Intel NUC, compared to something like this https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits... (and folks can debate whether the Mini's 6-cores and no dGPU is better/worse than the NUC's 4-cores with a Radeon GPU).

What's neat is that the Mini now runs a full desktop CPU (60W TDP?). So while the default configs of the Mac Mini are roughly equivalent to a NUC , the Mini has higher max upgrade headroom and a fully-tricked-out Mini will significantly surpass a NUC in speed/memory/networking.
I could perfectly be wrong about the odour being a breakdown product of the urea itself, but I thought the urea was a major energy source for the bacteria... is that still correct or are the other species you mention more energetic or available?
I was wondering if I might be able to ask you some questions about those healthcare forms? (I wanted to send a private message but couldn't find any contact information.)

I'm working on a product that can fill out very complex PDF forms, as well as automatically generating web-based forms for people to fill in, so I would be very interested in hearing some more details.
Looks more like a "condensation drip about to fall" than a tear drop...

Thank you for your suggestion. My mother has declined adding a case because she carries the ipad mini in her purse when she is out. She doesn't want the additional bulk. She knows she is "not holding it properly" and moves her thumb if it's not responding to her.
RStudio is also my favorite editor. All my work is data science / stats related, where I like the workflow of writing/modifying code in a .R (or .py) file, and being able to quickly experiment by running chunks in a REPL with Ctrl + Enter.

R and Python are supported. No Julia, unfortunately.
VS Code and Atom support similar workflows with Julia. However, the Julia Language server in VS Code is extremely unstable and I regularly lose LaTeX completions.
The REPL in Atom is mind boggling laggy and slow to the point that it is much less frustrating to copy and paste code into a REPL running in your favorite terminal emulator.
Part of the threat model is that individual orgs can be compelled in various ways to turn over individual user data, and having different orgs holding their own private keys helps to mitigate this.
Do you have some server to host it on?

If so, I’d run the notebook on the remote server and just teach them whatever command they need to make a ssh tunnel there. Something like what is described here: https://techtalktone.wordpress.com/2017/03/28/running-jupyte...

So they would utter the unknowable incantation and then point their browser at localhost:8000 or whatever and then use their version of the notebook.
For the record, it seems to work both ways with desktop Safari.
Waalflower: A wall mounted wireless charger for your tablet
> The surface pen already magnetically attaches to the surface, this would just give that another purpose.

I'm aware. But it's not "just another purpose". It's a different design. A battery that needs charging is a fundamentally different design choice than a battery that needs replacing. I'd rather a disposable battery that lasts for a year than a rechargeable battery that lasts a week.

> You don't have to remember anything, you just "redock" the stylus when you're done using it and it will charge.

And then you shove your tablet in your bag and the pen falls off. The pen languishes in the bottom of the bag until the next time you want to use it, when it may or may not still be holding a usable charge.

A pen that needs to be stuck to the side of your device regularly is fine for a device that sits on a desk all the time. It's less clearly beneficial for a device that gets handled constantly and goes into and out of bags.
There aren't NUCs that compare for all variants.

There was a jailbreak hack that added bluetooth mouse and pointer support to iOS. With another hack that added multi-window support you could turn an iPad into a buggy and slow version of macOS
Generally Infiniband [1] or Omni-Path [2] interconnects between the compute nodes - extremely high throughput and low latency communication on the order of 100 Gb/s and 1 microsecond. These problems aren't trillions of completely independent operations which may work for cloud/distributed architecture. For these types of calculations compute node 6523 needs to know the data coming from compute node 2447 in near-realtime to continue working.

Apologizing for an error of judgment does not mean admitting to the details of the accusation.
I switched from Fedora 28 to Ubuntu because I could not make my IDE (IntelliJ, Netbeans, maybe Eclipse too) recognize the installed Fedora JDK (no valid JDK found). It seems that this has been a common problem for years.
Because their experience (and probably livelihood) rests with iOS apps. No one is buying an iPad hoping that some day they can write kernel patches on it. If you make your money off an ecosystem, you are going to buy hardware for that ecosystem.

So great they report it for all those fishermen to find- science finally contributes to another extinction event.
Which one? MacBook Pro without Touch Bar has older cpu generation (albeit it is faster) but it still has the previous version of the keyboard (without membrane).
3 times as big is still a comfortable size for a small pc and a small price to pay for using commodity/replaceable parts.

Most of the people who might buy a mini would probably buy a mini that was 3x as big. At least for me, what I really don't want to pay for is a screen and keyboard (as I would have to pay for with an imac/macbook/etc).
A tale of UI framework that lived on two different programming languages
Specifically, with World of Warcraft it's a game that takes all of your time.

It's an endless treadmill with diminishing returns. It's full of (digital, ultimately meaningless) rewards which make you stand out above the rest of the players. Some of them are worthless in a few weeks/months (e.g. gear), some of it is timeless (e.g. mounts) but takes 100's of tries (every try 30-60 min) for that 1-5% chance to some mount.

When I played the game, there were people who did nothing all Wednesday (when they could try again for the week) but running hours and hours of dungeons just so they could have a change to get the last 10-100 rare mounts they missed.

The highest-tier end-game content requires large groups (20 players + reserves) to coordinate schedules and tackle dungeons together. This causes enormous social pressure to keep showing up because otherwise the group can't play the game and everyone is mad at you.

It's perfectly possible to play it casually without participating in the above, but it's a game that has a lot of traps for people prone to addiction to fall into.
Micro.blog is exactly just this sort of hybrid solution. If you start typing a short status update you can publish it as such. Once you go past the 280ish character limit, micro.blog gives you a new field to give the post a title (if you want).

I use my personal website running WordPress a lot like this hybrid model as well. I can do all the things you mentioned and have separate feeds for all of the related post types (articles, status updates, photos, embedded media, etc.) Micro.blog also allow me to pipe my RSS feed into it so that I can interact with people there and any comments people make within micro.blog come back to my original post where I can see and reply to them.
Doom metal also goes that way. Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard, one of my favorite songs, really springs to mind.

You hit the nail in the head.

The only way for 7+ billions humans to live sustain-ably on planet earth, is to accept high density living and shared spaces.

High density living in the form of apartments with common gardening, grilling areas, shared yards and complete reliance on public transportation.

I would love to see card become an entirely rental / on demand thing.

It would take a lot to make such a massive cultural switch, but it is the best thing we can do for sustainable living.

Great tip.

I wonder if exaggerated gestures and pointing with the finger, like the Japanese railway operators do would help. I'm going to start doing this myself during my checks (beginner paraglider).

Infiniband is on the order of 1 microsecond between compute nodes and 100 Gb/s throughput. It's often still the bottleneck in HPC systems.

I was talking with an apple hardware engineer... I'm told that the jack is in some ways a limiting factor, though I'd happily take an extra .2mm of depth for universal charging :-)
Using SOAP from JS is doable if you really want to. :)

But if we're comparing to crufty tech, I'd say what I was talking about in that sentence was more like DCOM or CORBA. Both of which were nice in concept but a bit of a PITA in practice.
If it couldn't find a JDK, it usually means you didn't install the appropriate `-devel` package. (This is consistent across RHEL derivatives.)
>But a C D Reader? What is that? Is that like the radio that truckers used to use to talk to each other in the road?

Yes, like that in terms of: expect decades for complete migration as all benificial use cases for them have not yet been superceeded by technology sucessors.
>An external 1TB Samsung for everything besides applications and OS isn't bad at all.

Yep. 4x TB3 means I don't care at all about the internal storage. I'll take the 128GB internal drive for the OS and be on my way.
See also the wonderfully named SIGDANGER signal on AIX. It seems many people have invented this. I've been wondering out loud recently if PostgreSQL should attempt to support these various impending-doom-notification mechanisms, or whether a system that close to the edge really needs human intervention anyway.
I worked on the Firefox integration (per the article) if anyone has specific questions.

FYI, it shouldn't be surprising that replacing critical words can change the meaning of a sentence.
I'm not saying that apple won't thrive - nor anything like it.I'm merely saying the interface design would probably have made Steve fire the person who did it.

And I probably wouldn't argue.

After all, when viewing the page on an iPad, I can't double-tap the top of the screen to make it go back to the beginning. Irony at its best.

Seriously - that's a great feature that I use multiple times per day, and Apple broke their own rule!
This is a load of garbage.
>C development, like most languages, isn't really "taught" at all. You might have some teaching on the structure of the language and a basic getting started course on main(), but that's just the beginning. Everything from there up seems to be self-taught, either from the internet, code examples, or working it out from first principles.

If there's one thing my CS program did correctly, it was having a two semester course (sort of, officially they were two separate courses) that covered an intro to C programming but also C in terms of machine architecture, down to learning to disassemble C or assemble it from assembly, etc.

I think it was fairly valuable at the time to learn how and why C is important/forms the lowest layer for 'modern' languages.
But then there are plotting and interactive widgets in the notebook.

Suppose you select text with the keyboard- in JOE you can do this by holding down Ctrl and repeatedly hit arrow keys (actually there are many ways to this- ^KB ^KK marking is another). In most editors for Windows you can do it by holding Shift and hit arrow keys.

How is X supposed to know that you just made this selection? Normally it can not, because it's a tty/console application not in direct communication with the X server.

The base64 selection feature allows a console application to do it: the program can send selection text to X any time it wants: it's some header, base64 text, and a trailer. When the terminal emulator receives this, it forwards it to the X server just as if you had done a mouse selection.

The base64 is useful in the other direction (pasting into the terminal emulator running an editor). One minor advantage is that base64 is binary clean. Another is that the text is not just sent to the application- instead you get a sequence indicating that middle mouse button was pressed. The application then sends a request to the terminal emulator to have it send the paste data to the application. This is better because it allows you to paste by (for example) using an application specific keyboard sequence, not just a mouse action.
Hi,
My name is Eugene and we made this little online SQL language trainer to help non-programmers to learn basic SQL queries. And more important, it shows the result of query entered.

Any suggestions and comments are welcome!

and many thanks for all the suggestion already made! And seems like we should better remove MySQL specific command from the very first question.
This may sound cynical. But, I sigh each time I hear of such natural discoveries. This basically means humans will begin interfering in the name of research.
That is my whole point. How do you convict this?

Spitting in general in the US is not illegal. Should you spit inside of a store? No and you’ll probably be asked to leave. When the owner says that dude is an asshole who spat in my store do you respond, “hold up where is his jury of peers?”

Pretty sure there is a lot of legal liability in asking for a massage or hitting on someone during an interview but I’m not a lawyer. The bigger issue is do you want to work under someone who does that? Either that person has no understanding of societal cues or they do and are asserting their power to take advantage of someone.
Yeah it's also that people can't really do grand tours any more so to get the most tourist bang for their tourist dollar people are naturally going to go for the most important/historic/beautiful sights. Up to a point it's probably also self reinforcing when everyone is going to one place it's has to be special so more people go there.
Aegis isn't embedded. Not even a little bit.
He's accused of sexual harassment for this at burning man? I thought part of the point of Burning man is sexual freedom? The expectation at burning man is that you will encounter nudity, sexuality, etc. It's like complaining of seeing your boss at a swingers club.

edit: 'seeing' at a swingers club is implying that some sexual move/request was made. That's the point of these clubs.
With the iPad Pro now using USB-C, I think it's a given that the next iPhone will do the same. If only my next Kindle would do the same.

Dave Taht’s take on ECN
Personally I disliked Magsafe because it never worked for its intended design. I say this in a household with three Magsafe laptops. The most common case where Magsafe disconnected was sitting on my lap. The laptop isn't wide enough to not hit my leg occasionally, causing the connecter to disconnect.

But other than that, it's supposed to be a breakaway, right? So if my laptop is sitting on the table and I trip on the cord, the cord unplugs. But that's never happened to me. If you pull the cable straight out (like if it's wrapped around your leg and you pull your leg away), the cord will stay connected and will easily pull the laptop off the table. I don't know if it was designed for heavier laptops or what, but Magsafe has never broken away for me when the cable is pulled straight out.

The only time it works as intended is if I step on the cable and it pulls the cable down, or if my leg hits the connector and it pushes straight up.
s/possibly/definitely/
> It just feels natural to look for an alternative at this point.

I don't consider myself an Apple fanboy (I'd certainly not buy an iphone). But as far as laptops go, I don't see any viable alternative. I'd get a MBP for Mac OS alone, but the hardware is great too.
No you need your artworkers to do it right it the flipping first place and not place excessive load on your live environment - or make the live environment more complex than it needs to be.
> It's also worth considering that Photoshop only really uses 2 cores at maximum anyway.

Seriously? I think this is more confirming that the person you replied to is right. Unless there is some reason that I can think of that only using 2 cores is a good thing?
That would all be true if the main goal was to maximize the income through growth, which as far as I understand it, it isn't.
That's terribly unfair.

When the mobile ecosystem settles ~$5 as the price for full-featured apps, with .99 as the price for one-off toys and smaller tools, someone bucking the trend and charging multiple times that for apps that are not meaningfully higher quality than the rest of the charging-five-bucks ecosystem will rightly be judged by the average consumer as overpriced.

That's not "entitlement", that's violation of perfectly reasonable expectations. Don't blame or denigrate the customer for aligning their expectations to what the rest of the marketplace does.
Surgery students 'losing dexterity to stitch patients'
Neat, though there's a lot of visible cable clutter to this. You both have a device now affixed to your tablet (with a cable), and then a cable down from your wall mount to a power outlet.

Maybe this is great if like, wall mounting your tablet is your primary use case for it, such as a home automation controller. But I can't see the average user wanting to affix a wall mount to the back of their iPad.
It would have been for me if it were available a year ago.

I needed a family computer, to use in a shared space. I looked at the Mac Mini, but new ones had soldered RAM and didn't want to invest in a 2011 used model. I bought a 27 inch iMac because it was the only Mac with up-gradable memory. Have already upgraded the memory to 32GB, so all four of us can be logged in at the same time.

This Mini, with a 3rd party RAM upgrade, would have been perfect. Could have used the monitor, keyboard and mouse I already owned.
My version is lightning bugs. Growing up I used to go out to catch lightning bugs all the time and there would be hundreds of them in nearly any field. Now I'm surprised and delighted just to see a dozen or so of them.
Yes. It's called Microsoft Excel. Software engineers don't like VB for the same reason they don't like Python-in-a-notebook but you cannot deny its effectiveness.
Hey, Ovidiu the author here.

So how could this be interesting to you?

The app

I read a book called Deep Work to improve the quality of my work and found the simple "shutdown ritual" idea powerful. I started with a dead simple list that I went through every evening to clear my mind and disconnect from work.

Then I decided to build a simple app and keep iterating in small increments every day I also use the app. After about 2mo I use it daily and it looks good enough to draw a line. So I made it public in case anyone else finds it useful.

The codebase

Meanwhile, I wanted to learn React Native and try react-native-web. I also wanted to see how well styled-components behaves "unversally" and how to do server-side-rendering with RNW. It worked pretty well (for the most part...) and I learned a lot.

If you're interested in this tech stack I encourage you to dig through the codebase and maybe run it locally to get a feel.

If you have any questions related to the app or the codebase, fire away. I'll answer gladly!
General-purpose machine learning algorithms require a large amount of training data. There's no magic that can make accurate predictions without any data to base them on. If you don't have enough data, the information needs to come from somewhere else.

If you have a large amount of data on a similar problem, you can try transfer learning to learn shared properties and only fine-tune the domain-specific stuff on a smaller data set.

If you have no quantitative data, but know domain experts, you can build a custom model based on their advice, with fewer parameters that need to be fit to the data you do have.

But if you have so little data that you can't train a neural network, you can't be getting new data very frequently. It might be cheaper to just pay a human to look at it.

If you don't even have enough data for humans to work with, fancy machine learning isn't going to help you.

It is a problem if the default JDK is useless and the solution requires research on the internet. I had even enough patience to search for more than 15 minutes AFAIR.

I have been using Windows and other Linux distributions including Arch Linux for years and never had problems with the JDK.
Not so. I'm just saying that it's valid to disagree on the definition of a thing, and that when that happens you need to have debate about the real underlying disagreement, rather than making a pointless and foolish declaration of your correctness by your definition.

Although I'm not sure why I bothered typing that, given the current readings I'm getting on my troll detector.
