Why aren't ads a data point in the infographic?

Ads are a necessary component of the web atm. They typically insert a delay between the user's action (clicking a button, scanning paragraphs of text with one's eyes) and the desired behavior (watching a video, comprehending which text is the article vs. advertising pictures and/or text).

So a Youtube app running on Fuschia could become a poster child for "anti slow software" based on the author's guidelines. Yet this would only deliver the user more quickly to the problem of ad latency-- a problem which is orders of magnitude worse UX than the problems listed in the article.

It seems like inside baseball to make ad latency an externality to the core problems of slow software.
Amp has native clipboard integration, so content will carry between different instances. Configuring the register => clipboard was something I personally disliked when configuring Vim.

Amp also supports suspending (hit "z" in normal mode) as I use that workflow all the time. As for the small window issue, you can "zoom" a tmux panel with <leader>-z. I get that this is less than ideal if you're used to the suspend action collapsing all panes by default (and expanding them on resume). Workflows are tricky; to each their own, I guess! :)
I'd say yes; there are many times I've ssh'd into a server and wanted to do a quick edit where I don't have my vimrc; not going to bother to install it.

Complexity increases when you want one vimrc with many plugins to work on Windows, Linux and OS X, and both in your work and home environments.

I'm not arguing that Amp is the answer. I don't think I'd stick with vim as my daily driver if I couldn't customize it, and have the plugins I do.
Most developers I know don't have github account or use it as place to dump half baked unfinished projects and ideas (as a free backup essentially). That is why it is so hard to find it.

If you job is really coding most of the time and challenging/interesting enough on itself, you have less reason to do projects on the side (and it might not be effective use of time). Same for those working in competitive positions where either maximum time or output is expected.
"This is why other cities have shitty transit."?? If NYC continue with current shitty schedule, the subway would be worse and worse, which means less and less commuters will rely on it, and eventually it will be closed as worthless. Will you be happier? As at that time, nobody will benefit. Be more practical, gentleman! We are living in 2018, there is lot of proving that we should optimize a system by reducing the bottleneck. For those 0.1% commuters, they don't nee the whole subway system to support them, they can take bus/shuttle or even uber, which will save millions of dollars for the whole system, and also improve the rush hour transit much much better.
I've not made that switch yet, but it was on my mind. No magsafe would still bug me, but if the horsepower is good enough, it might be fine for day to day work. I do a fair amount of Java work, and of course faster is always better. I know I used to get by on a ~1.6ghz, and maybe could do it again, but currently at 2.9ghz i7... maybe I'd feel the drop too much?
In my routine work in an academic lab, im using 10-15 machines plus a number of GCP instances. Syncing a .dotfiles repo is a huge pain, especially when you make a small change on one machine and don’t want to push/pull ever time you want to do anything on another machine.

My original MacBook 12” was plagued with issues. It was underpowered and the keyboard was horrendous. I vowed to not get another MacBook, since most of my work is browser based or using office. I don’t rely on iTunes or iphoto on the laptop. Getting iMessages is nice but not something I’ll miss. For work there are other messaging services.
I love my iPhone, my AirPods and my iPad, but the MacBook product line is disappointing.

Why was it "their lunch" ? Back then, Google was a search company which made forays into mail and maps. Android or Chrome hadn't been released yet (and by 2005 probably barely started).

Video hosting is a substantially different product. I don't see why Google should have owned it more than any other web company at the time, including YouTube itself.

Google already owned Blogger at that time, and I think with some hindsight you can say they always had a half-hearted interest in things "social". YouTube has a large social component of course. That is obvious now, but you could have easily imagined something less social back then.
I ditched my Macbook pro non touch bar for an XPS 13 with 8th gen i7 for $900 and shoehorned high sierra on it. I've got 5-8 hour battery life, full sized usb ports and USB C, 1080p 13" display with almost no bezel, and a modern cpu. I say modern because when I bought it even macs didnt have 8th gen. Apple pretty much doesn't make a laptop I want and the few that I might want are double what I paid. I know not everyone can hackintosh but it's getting easier.
> This BBC article from 2011 details some statistics on "honour" attacks: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16014368. Including that London's Metropolitan Police ("MET") reported about 500 Islamic honour related acid attacks for 2010.

The article does not say Islamic, nor acid-attacks in relation to the 495 attacks.

The article says "so-called honour attacks" and goes on to say:

> Honour attacks are punishments on people, usually women, for acts deemed to have brought shame on their family.

> Such attacks can include acid attacks, abduction, mutilations, beatings and in some cases, murder.

In other words, it says nothing about how many acid-attacks were included among those 495, and does not tie it to specific religions. Honour attacks are more strongly correlated to specific cultural ties than religion. It is likely a substantial majority of those have muslim perpetrators (because the South Asian communities that are over-represented in "honour" related crime are majority muslim), but certainly not all.

> I wonder how the MET managed to report up to 500 per year to 2010 (first link above), then only one for the subsequent 15 years [1]?

Because you're comparing all honour attacks of any type to honour-related acid-attacks.
You can't do this in respect of every level of metacognition, so this loops back to you needing to be aware of an issue prior to testing for it.

Kinda. If you do, you get the 2016 specs machine, not the 2018 bumped specs. Maybe it is not rational, but if I am forking over that kind of money for a machine, I would want to get the best version, not an artificially gimped one.
I built into my CMS an automated scanner that checks hashes on system files and sends alerts if there are any changes detected. (also for any files that shouldn't be there)

I can't imagine this would be hard to add to Wordpress or any other system?

Edit: The advantage of this system is that I don't have to know about any threats specifically (ie, no data management on threats) to keep them out, so there is no cat/mouse games.

(maybe this is how this scanner works also? I can't tell from the github docs.)
One key "architectural" difference seems to be the asynchronous or event driven nature of the brain vs. the "full computational" approach of most DNN architectures currently en vogue. There is some research into spiking neural networks, however, there seems to be no relevance of them yet with respect to most current problems (e.g. NLP, visuals).
Regarding the use case AGI (assuming we would want to model a complete brain to do that) my quick over the envelope calculation is:

Given that the brain has 100 billion neurons with about 5000 connections each that contain state (ignoring the various neurotransmitter side effects) at half precision we require roughly 1 PB of memory for it. Add some factor <10 if you want to include the routing information to make the connections dynamic.

Regarding computational capacity of a event driven architecture for AGI based on the brain:
Assuming each neuron fires on average at 100 Hz on each connection that would amount to 50 PetaFlops. Effectively, this number could be lower, if that average firing rate and connection utilization goes down.
So when looking at the current supercomputer list, there should be some machines around that would be able to do such calculations assuming we have tools to model the architecture.
Because 'market capitalisation' is the only life possible and without it everything is irrelevant ?
Yes, that was super annoying.
Like I literally can't look at the graph the way you have it set up.

Interviewing is an expensive process so you try to introduce multiple steps which filter a large candidate pool down to a hire. If every candidate with a resume that indicated they were qualified was brought in the process expense would increase drastically.

Furthermore, phone screen allows ability to get perspective on soft skills. At least in my field, technical people need to communicate and therefore a phone screen allows ability to review this attribute of candidate which isn't conveyed on a resume.

I went to the Goto Copenhagen conference a few days ago and was quite taken aback by a keynote by Oshi Agabi. His company Koniku was developing what they call "neurotech" - chipsets composed of actual biological neurons that could be programmed.

He was showing these various prototypes of a product they are developing that is used to detect smells. It's a little box that keeps a certain stable temperature. Inside the box, they connected cells with various taste receptors to this synthetic "brain", also modifying the DNA in the smell receptor cells to be hypereffecient in the process.

It seemed liked they could train these networks in a similar way to machine learning, but they had trouble remembering over time, so now they were experimenting with using neurotransmitters (emulating feelings) to persist the changes.

He said their customers were various American 3-letter agencies.

Their website is at https://koniku.com/ if you're curious.
Indeed. I often think there's a lot of confirmation bias in the 'google kills products' complaints... Certainly many many small to medium sized, user-facing start ups have died in the same time, but we don't hear the same sort of FUD about using start up tech.

YouTube both won and lost, because it was a startup operating in the legal grey zone. It was long before most content was commercial content, commercials, music videos or other professional content most often clips or full videos of content people did not own copyright for. Sure, many people want to share their amateur content on the island with the most inhabitants. Neither Google other rivals or other startups had the gumption and survivor instinct to play this hand. If Google was the host or already owned YouTube when the DRM issues emerged and were being negotiated the copyright owners would have come after Google even harder, faster and more expensively. I say YouTube lost, because they needed to sell. When Google bought YouTube the business model and risks were better known. Months after Google purchased YouTube Viacom famously sued. By that point publishers were seeing benefits along with the costs.
NYC is the only city which has such requirement and have to provide subway to support them?

Then you and your company are probably not a good fit for this particular interviewee. It goes both ways.

> The rest of my time is crazy productive

Maybe if you weren't "crazy productive" during those spurts, and maybe just "productive", you might not get in to as many situations where you can't even figure out how to figure out your problem?

I hear you - there definitely is a 'mess' factor to a lot of web tech. I've been doing this 20 years and still find that to be the case - moreso now today than 20 years ago. Most of my messes are someone else's making - I'm taking over a project that's undocumented, untested and often unbuildable. All those factors add in to the 'mess', and perhaps people just think it's 'normal'?

If the problems you're seeing are on projects you're building yourself from scratch, I'd recommend doing the 'productive' parts more slowly, perhaps spend time writing some tests, or docs, or even just re-explaining what you've done to someone else - the logic flow, where data is coming/going/etc. It may help you find problems earlier, and understand them better.

He's obviously referring to the latest 15" MBP, or any quad-core MBP. You can't buy one without a touch bar. The existing stock for older 13" MBP without touch bar aren't new models. They are older models still being sold.

So no, you can't buy a new MBP without a touch bar.

Edit: And saw one of your other comments: they aren't selling 15-inch MBPs without a touch bar.
There was a rather interesting talk at the Forbes Under 30 summit last month on this, "How The Brain is Inspiring AI" [1], but I cannot find the video. Lavin argued neuro and cognitive science -inspiration, not derivation, is useful at varying levels of abstraction, i.e. Marr's levels [2]. He showcased three works at the respective levels: Tenenbaum et al at MIT [3], some Vicarious research [4], and Blake Richards' work towards "DL with segregated dendrites" [5].

Our team is responsible for deployment/operations of our self-hosted Jira so a few months ago I decided to make it faster, and oh what a rabbit hole that was:

When you look at Jira using Chrome DevTools there are these big batch.js and batch.css files (up to 5MB in total) that are different for every type of Jira view (dashboard, agile board, issue detail, issue search, …) so the first few page loads might be a bit slow but then they all should be cached as they don't change until you update your Jira and everything should be smooth. Except that wasn't what I saw, they seemed to be reloaded every hour or something.

Naturally I blamed Jira, and wasted hours Googling for batch.js not being cached, but eventually came to the conclusion that it can't be Jira's fault, and it isn't. Turns out it's the Google Chrome's cache backend that's used on Linux (and only there). There are three issues with it:

1. it's limited to cca 320MB even if you've got 1TB free space

2. entries are evicted by age times size, ignoring number of hits

3. media files such as 2MB youtube fragments use the same cache

The result is that watching youtube for a while evicts all cached batch.js. To make this bearable, I enabled gzip in the reverse HTTP proxy in front of Jira, which brought batch.js down to 500KB so that it's smaller than the youtube fragments and isn't evicted sooner than those. Still, few hours of watching youtube and not visiting Jira evicts it. Increasing the cache size using "google-chrome --disk-cache-size=2000000000" helps as well.

Oh and here's the link to Chromium issue tracker: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=617620 :-)

I have several hours of work invested into my bike too, having installed proper fenders, a rear rack, and some safety equipment like lights and bells. That plus the ~$700 I have in it all told would not be enjoyable to replace.

And have to get them all to participate in the first place, no?
