I think that writing has been on the wall for a couple years now. .NET Core 3.0 supports WinForms and WPF, as additional death nails for those keeping score.
It is a completely different architecture from the ground up, completely re-written with modern development in mind.

For one example it has native support for dependency injection, and in general testability has massively improved since it was a core design goal.

They've also de-coupled several layers, which is hugely powerful since you can write your own middleware. For example check out this article on "Handling Errors Globally with the Custom Middleware"[0].

If you want to see how different it is from .Net Framework look at this diagram:

The monetary system itself is a big contributor or climate change. Kings used to require empires in order to protect their gold stores. I think securing the longest PoW (or PoS) chain is a very good use of resources, as it's tantamount to a king protecting his gold.
I'd love to hear more about cases in which IR has made a difference in a search, because that hasn't been my experience or what I've heard about it.

And I'm calling BS on IR being able to see footprints under fresh snow, unless that fresh snow is a light dusting about 1 cm thick -- which just about any tracker could follow anyway.

IR requires a steep difference in thermal gradients between the subject and the environment. In cold environments, subjects tend to wear insulating clothing (and if they've shed that, then they've gone into the paradoxical undressing stage of hypothermia, and unfortunately they're done for). The cold environment also acts as a massive heat sink, quickly masking any heat signatures.

Warm environments suffer from reflectivity. Rocks bake in the sunlight and then re-emit that radiation all night long.

There are some environments where IR might help, but many more where it doesn't.
No. Just like we will not see professional graphic design, 3d modeling, circuit layout, or physics simulation on a mobile phone.

Why? Because a phone is fundamentally a consumer's device, not a producer's device.

Just because you can tweet or upload videos to YouTube from your phone doesn't change that fundamental nature.

It is designed for the masses, not for specialized power users.

It's proven it can do all of these things except that it can be used as a "medium of exchange". It doesn't mean it's not possible, it just hasn't proven it yet. All crypto has proven is that we can create a digital version of bullion, that doesn't have all of the same issues as trying to barter bullion.
Very good job!
Based on a first glance, this looks like fabulous work. I've added it to my reading list. Thank you for sharing it!

The first question that comes to mind is whether this property and its implications might hold for deep "contextualized" word embeddings such as ELMo[a], which, as I'm sure you're aware, have proven superior to "shallow" word embeddings like Word2Vec/SGNS and GloVe in a growing range of NLP tasks.

A deep contextualized word embedding model maps words like "leaves" very differently depending on context. For example, the deep contextualized vector for the word "leaves" in the sentence "In the Fall, children love to play in the leaves" will be closer to the vector for "foliage" than to the vector for "leaves" in the sentence "Children don't like it when their father leaves for work," which will be closer to the vector for "departs."

I strongly suspect the csPMI property and its implications would hold for the pair (vector("leaves"), vector("foliage")) in the first case and for the pair (vector("leaves"), vector("departs")) in the second case.

What are your (speculative) thoughts on this?

Using the electric induction stove and rotating magnets achieve the same effect: alternating magnetic field in a ferrous mass. Electric motors have efficiency up to 95%, and there's no further loss in this system.

If you are truly off the grid, you'd come about even using the rotating magnets from mechanical power (say, an ICE) vs converting that power via generator and powering a stove.

that sounds very contradictory. unless you are implicitly admitting that intelligence agencies are above government oversight. in which case you might have a point.

naive to believe this theoretical distinction holds in practice. how many more whistleblowers' careers need to be destroyed for you to realize this? the highly sophisticated machinery developed for "international spying" in light of all evidence appears to be a convenient justification for domestic spying, sometimes outsourced to your own allies to keep it legal [1].

When it comes to Trump support, look no further than the fear of Brown People. It's just that simple. There is nothing else he is consistent on.

The research paper is not the final RVC extension (although it was derived from that research). The video covers the RVC extension as it was implemented.
Not a downvoter, but when I saw your reply it made me think that you may need a better process around maintaining dependencies.

At least IMO, best practice is to continually evaluate and adopt updates to dependencies. I’d rather have a slow trickle of problems associated with continuous updates, than have a total firefight when you realize you have to upgrade, now, and you have neither solid plans and practice in place to do so, nor the time because you’re in the middle of yet another feature drop that is pushing tech debt to the breaking point.

Setting and forgetting dependencies is like saying you have a backup somewhere, but never actually testing if you can recover from it. That’s the kind of thing that could turn a routine outage into a crippling emergency.
My personal experience is that most programmers either like or don't like type systems. If you don't I would highly recommend Clojure, if you do I would highly recommend Haskell.
> He's a left-leaning independent

Trump is obviously a Republican (whatever he may have had as an affiliation before), and equally-obviously not “left-leaning”, a shown by his actions with control over actual policy (whatever he might have pretended to make favorable connections with various, especially New York, politicians when his only interest in policy was getting favorable treatment for his own personal business interests.)

> He could have credibly run for the democrat party's nomination and probably won it

That's an interesting fantasy, that is only plausible in that (given his ambiguous political positions before the campaign) one might imagine him adopting a completely different persona that didn't back bigoted and right-wing causes and yet was no less inconsistent with his pre-campaign persona. But his campaign persona, and even moreso his policies and appointments in office, have been consistently hard right, and often outright bigoted, from his demonizing immigrants (including currently-legal ones as part of his campaign to curtail currently-legal immigration, especially family-based immigration) to the Muslim ban to his his anti-LGBT policies, to his stance against investigations of police civil rights violations that were ongoing when he took office (which were echoed even louder and given concrete policy substance by his appointee as Attorney-General, who is in lockstep on this issue even if they have not seen eye to eye over Trump's personal legal exposure.)

Well it has to pick something right? Am I wrong in thinking the color, except for very specific known items, is simply lost and can't be inferred by any level intelligence? Maybe the solution is "If I_HAVE_NO_IDEA -> randomColor()" which I realize doesn't jibe with how ML works (does it?)
Learn both. If you have no functional programming experience then learning clojure first should help you get comfortable with higher order functions and other functional paradigms before diving into the type theory side of things with Haskell.

Is it necessarily misogynistic, though?

At the population level, women’s degrees are worth less than men’s because women more often exit the job market to raise children. If someone wants to do that - and I 100% stand behind that being a valid and important decision, for either sex - then college debt would be a very poor financial decision.

I’m not convinced it’s a systemic problem, but it would be interesting to see default rates broken down by gender.
> 2b. Continuity of coverage may itself be at risk with pre-existing conditions returning to the political debate.

This reminds me, when I was in college I had a pretty bad accident, but I had some college provided health care plan my parents paid for that covered it.

Even after being employed and having employer health care, I kept renewing it incase I had a longer term issue related to the accident that my new insurance wouldn't cover due to it being pre-existing.

In particular, I had to get a rod inserted into my leg, and thought if I had a problem with it down the line, it might get denied by my new insurer.
Microsoft’s future is in the cloud. They don’t really care if you use Windows Servers anymore. They have no real motivation to make Windows lightweight enough to compete with Linux.

But I’m not a “Linux guy” yet. I’m trying to move up to being an overpriced “consultant” that tells companies how they can save money via automation, using best Devops practices, etc. and why they don’t need as many infrastructure people.

I’m a software architect who plays the role of an AWS Architect when necessary.
Distributed immutable logs of data existed long before the Blockchain (as someone pointed out, Git is a good example - just sign your commits). The innovation of the Blockchain was specifically the combination of that with the POW, which enabled coordination between untrusted nodes without falling prey to Sybil attacks.

A private blockchain is just giving another name to a preexisting model. It's like saying "I use a pedelec, but I see more advantages in removing the motor and battery".

Sounds like he just took notes of his PR management lessons, do you think they throw a CEO without teaching him how to interact with journalists? That's not his personality, see early videos of CEOs to see how their personality really was before all the PR makeover (make them go to the gym, get hair plugs, pick their clothes, train them how to talk, what to say, when to say it, etc). Another perfect example is Zuckerberg, he was basically trained to be someone else after the (coincidentally) Kara interview where he cracked and almost died of dehydration from sweating.
To answer your question directly: because of the wretched, misanthropic keyboard, only a very few will develop directly on a phone. You really need a larger keyboard to be able to input letters without flow-interrupting corrections.

Special development workstations will fit in with the goals of larger corporations in that such special workstations will cost more, and therefore limit entry into the market. So I expect we will only rarely see anyone developing directly on a smart phone.

Offtopic from your post for a couple paragraphs: I push back against my fellow conservatives who view things like basic living income a "socialist" idea. It seems to me that if people have more money in their pocket, they will buy more--good for capitalism.

Also, if they have at least a minimal safety net and are not endangering their family, home, and bellies they will seek out work that is more fulfilling to them and therefore perform better.

Maybe it's because I work in the healthcare industry, but I don't see universal healthcare as having the same safety-net effect. Other than stabilizing prices, it would only be a situation where the healthy support the sick. That is not inherently a bad thing, but needs to be recognized that way.

This is happening. There are a few embedded RISC-V cores coming out of China now. It seems if you have the choice of paying to license an ARM Cortex-M core or downloading Rocket chip off github, then people are going the download route.

Edit: This is not to say that RISC-V is more popular than ARM in the embedded space. ARM obviously has a huge momentum and vast (billions) installed base.

I think this is a pretty interesting idea.

Someone mentioned why not just follow subreddits. I noticed that subreddits are often a collection of the extremes of a hobby or interest. I would say that I'm a collection of interest that make up my unique personality, while subreddits often have people that are really deep into a specific topic.

One thing to note about your idea, is I've used apps in the past that connect you with people that you share interest with, but I often flake when it comes to actually meeting with people in person... I wonder if this is a common trend? I feel like I almost ended up using them as a self validation.... but never followed through much with meeting people.
Eh, the bigger problem with lost children is their habit of hiding or wandering back into cleared areas. Fortunately, they don't tend to wander far. Lost Person Behavior guidebook puts a 4-6 year old child at a 95% range of 5.1 miles in dry territory. That doesn't change dramatically until you start approaching teenage ages.

I've posted a few criticisms of IR already in this thread. There are a narrow range of environments where it's helpful, and there's a tradeoff between image quality and flight time -- you can have good flight time and terrible image quality, or good image quality and terrible flight time.

One thing about eBay is that it will show you sold listings. It's a checkbox on the bottom of the left-hand column. There are people who apparently set a price for an item and just re-list it. The asking price may or may not have anything to do with what people actually are willing to pay.
The appropriate solution is to make sure that sexism and racism factor into an academic's evaluations (not sure, but I would guess this is already the case given how many departments demand faculty pledges to 'diversity' and 'inclusivity'), rather than polluting scholarship. It seems like what these academics really want is a sort of impunity for their vigilantism. This is bad for the regular reasons vigilantism is bad--someone can visit their view of "justice" on another person without due process--but also because it hurts scholarship.

The Most Powerful Words in Education
It can handle economic decisions within an organization using democracy, or multi-sigs to a few trusted individuals. It's also connected to Web 3.0, so you have all of the benefits of being within the ethereum ecosystem.
Core is one of those Microsoft branding words that wound up used everywhere, denotes one thing, but means almost something else entirely. (Not unlike the .NET brand itself in its early years.) In the developer side Core has meant "open source rewrites that can break backward compatibility to move forward".

(Windows has also had several Core-branded things, at least as internal brands that have externally leaked over the last few years or been used to describe Windows Insider initiatives, but there they seem to more actually mean "core" as denoted as pure subset, though it sounds often in those cases they did imply nearly-from-scratch rewrites like the Developer initiatives with that branding.)
The storage of information that no one owns for one. Further on chains like Ethereum's one can build a contract based on a contract built by another party. Further using the data in that contract in new and novel ways. So lets say I build an app lets say for simplicity sake, I build a game and expose all the mechanics as a contract but I absolutely hate swords. So I will not implement swords in my contract. You are free to come along and build a contract that extends my contract and adds swords to it. My contract is still 100% whole and unmodified but you are able to get what you want.

From a more practical aspect I see great value in, non-corporate owned data. For example medical records. If everyone had a contract where they can provide their key to their medical providers so that they can add diagnostics, x-rays etc. and then only individuals you grant access to can read said records you would have a nice solution to open but secure medical records. Without a central authority or corporation owning and having control of that data. an open credit report would be another good one. Social networks not owned by Facebook and where anyone can build apps ontop of said data would be another.

It's not a fix all as companies are pitching it based on the buzz but anywhere where open data that needs to be secured and would better off if it where not owned by an organization, block-chain is a great solution. Sure there are speed issue with it right now. But assuming that, the speed issue is addressed I see a lot of uses for it.
As a professional blockchain developer and someone who believes and works towards decentralisation and the economic emancipation of the under-represented, I find this type of article very sad.

The author probably buys his drugs in a store like most people do, but he fixates on the payment technology that can allow other to buy them semi-anonymously and securely in the privacy of their own homes, while ignoring TCP/IP or PHP or whatever browser that needs to be used in the same transaction.

This seems like an agenda but experience has thought me that I shouldn't attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence. On the topic of what a blockchain is and what it enables, Thomas is ignorant but also incredibly unaware of his own privilege.

I need a public, decentralised blockchain, smart-contracts and cryptoeconomics to bootstrap digital economies that don't rely on advertising or selling user's data. I also need them to help bring electric power, clean water and food to people that don't buy drugs online with the tokens I create. You know why? Because they are too busy trying to survive failed nation-states.

Thomas, if you read this, please consider that your opinion is your own and you do have the right to express it anyway you want but for now the only thing you've accomplished is that I will stop using and advising Solarwinds to my customers.

Maybe for some small period of time, but not for long. Americans, and I think people in general, can be quite adaptive.
