Even then, the touch targets are all of different sizes. I find it really bizarre to have small touch targets on a tablet interface.

That said, I'll agree that the Ribbon does work best on a full screen interface at the top, though I still think a or two context-sensitive toolbar(s) would work better.

I was thinking about this in the shower: why is mapping a drive letter to a path in the Ribbon? Shouldn't that be a button somewhere in or near the navigation tree interface in the left sidebar, grouping it with the other aspects of disk drives and paths.

Plenty of what's in even Explorer's relatively simple ribbon could be in a context-based location for greater semantic grouping. That could simplify the Ribbon, and turn it back into a simple toolbar, maybe with a secondary, highly context-sensitive toolbar at the bottom of the window.

That's not an unprecedented thought. Windows XP had it with the Quick Tasks sidebar. The problem there was the use of sentences rather than simple command names made it difficult to separate the signal from the noise; plus, if you didn't change any of the defaults, you had that little dog making the whole thing seem rather unserious when it was actually a rather power paradigm, poorly implemented but with much untapped potential.
Google "elsagate" for some other disturbing examples of how YouTube is being used to traumatize and corrupt our children.
One tactic I've used in the past is requiring the PO to be on the calls, otherwise I won't be. However, ultimatly if you work for someone who doesn't care about your quality of live, you should probably move on.
I try to avoid using my brain for anything I can automate using all the classic technics: GTD, checklists for so many things, 5S, labelling/attributing places, delegating, 5 seconds rules, etc. Just like the code with less bug is the code you don't write, the thoughts with the fewer errors are the ones you don't make. Plus it saves time and energy for the thinking that matters.

Honestly, this should be taugh at school.
Blue Canvas | Sales Development Representative | San Francisco | ~$50k-80k + equity

Blue Canvas (https://bluecanvas.io/) is a source control product for the Salesforce developer ecosystem. We're a 3 person team looking to hire our first SDR.

This is a great role for someone interested in starting their own company some day or getting into SaaS sales. You'll work directly with the CEO to prospect and grow sales.

About us:

We've built a hosted service with automatic source control that "just works", and modern tools to review and deploy updates. We are in a growing, opportunity-rich enterprise market: For every $1 paid to Salesforce, $3 more are spent on customizing it.

So far we have hired slowly because we believe in maintaining high-revenue per employee. We admire companies like Basecamp, Mailchimp and Atlassian. We are funded by customer revenue and Indie.vc (http://www.indie.vc/).

Email team@bluecanvas.io if you're interested. No recruiters or agencies please.
Because they are so much similar that it is much easier to implement them as part of one mechanism. For example:

* Apply a (say, SVM) classification model to each object (row) by producing a new column

* Generate a new column as a difference between its values and its average over all rows.

In both cases, you produce a new column (=feature) by applying some transformation. Also, in both cases, you need to find parameters of this transformation from the data. In the first case, by training SVM model. In the second case, by find the average value.

Conclusion: there is no essential difference between defining/training a feature and a ML model.
Protein isn't the issue. Even now, most plants have as much %DV protein as calories. Back then, when carbohydrate content of plants was much lower, it would have been difficult to get inadequate protein.

This is more about being obsessed about growing than the money. Apple, Google, and all other enterprise company boards will always try to grow themselves.

Men do fear dark alleys yes, where did you get the idea that they don't? Stranger rape is exceptionally rare. Rapes are usually by people who the victim already knows. Being mugged by some drug abuser on the other hand is a genderless crime and a fair bit more common.

Do women try to bow out gracefully from relationships even if the onus shouldn't be on them, sometimes from fear of men potentially harming them? Do men do this at all?

That's what the entire Bloomberg article is about! Yes, men apparently now routinely bow out gracefully from relationships with women, because they fear the woman will harm them.

That's often illegal, be it "National Security Letters" in USA, or anything in China.

If they slap on a generic disclaimer "This Serach Engine may censor results known to the State of California to cause cancer or known to the People's Republic of China to cause civil discontent", that helps no one.
> Right now, software developers have LOTS OF POWER.

This is actually not true in my experience. Having a high salary and perks isn't the same as having power. On-call is a perfect example where, AFAIK, it's not the norm to get paid for it (as a developer at least), and if you don't like it, you're free to get a new job. Except the new job will likely have the same policy.

There are other work-life examples: for example, I've tried to find a part-time job, and to get jobs to offer me more vacation time in lieu of higher pay. Both of these are more common in countries with strong unions, but I've never been able to get them here.

Given that the porn industry basically invented the monetized internet, I assume that the "opportunity" was seized long ago.
`cargo new $project_name` literally generates a hello world program so it is misleading to say you need to understand ownership to write `hello world`.

That being said ownership is rather hard, but liberal usage of `.clone()` can get you pretty far.

This post is literally "cocaine and rock and roll" but they know they won't win the war on calling for bans on porn for their innocent child's eyes so they do this diatribe that is fully unrelated to banning adult content.
Language confusion. In the west, "vegetarian" usually means "milk and eggs, but no meat". I understand that in India it normally implies lacto-vegetarianism (ie milk but no eggs or meat).

This wasn't always the case, by the way. Originally, "vegetarian" in the west was usually used to mean what we now call vegan.
It's not a gender thing. Young people in general are vulnerable to all kinds of negative groupthink because they don't have a fully formed identity, experience, or adult critical thinking skills. The nature of the toxic material seems to differ a bit by gender.

There are a lot of comments about CUDA and GPU compatibility, etc. PhysX is mostly a CPU library, although there are systems that can run on the GPU, GPU physics are not widely used in shipping games. Both Unreal Engine and Unity use PhysX as their default physics engine. It runs on all platforms these engines support (Windows, Max, Linux, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Playstation 4), Nvidia hardware is not required.

The position based dynamics code is in a separate SDK called Nvidia Flex ( https://developer.nvidia.com/flex). Flex is closed source, runs on the GPU and is implemented in CUDA (Nvidia only).
Assume you are wrong about whatever it is you are thinking. Assume everyone else is wrong too. Double check, triple check, and when you think you have reached fullest confidence, you should still only provisionally accept your belief, knowing that you are still most likely wrong.
No, I think you're right. I remember them announcing they would be banning it.
So then you should probably only work on products that don't require out of hours support, or where the team is willing and able to hire people in another time zone.

Instead, you think some ops guy should do it?
The premise of the abstract is flawed though. Who says statisticians aren't using algorithmic models? Perhaps the author doesn't but random forests, clustering, PCA, gaussian processes, and even neural networks are standard fare for many statisticians.

To me, hooks feel like just reinventing mixins, except they have weirder edge case when they break.
That'd be pretty misleading as well. A number of people became independently wealthy off stock options in the dot-com boom and now use that money to indulge in personally-fulfilling but not necessarily lucrative hobbies. (Examples: DNA Lounge and Rabbit's Foot Meadery are both run by Netscape alums, a few rug merchants in Palo Alto got rich off dot-com stock, I had a friend at Google who quit her job after 7 years at Adobe + Google to open a gym, I suspect a number of restaurants in the local downtowns are run by ex-tech engineers, and I stayed at a B&B up in Alaska that was run by a guy who saved all his money working in SV for 20 years and then sailed around the world, bought a couple warehouses in Seward, and turned them into a B&B + restaurant.)

Mixed overhead and battery usage seems to be a very wise idea. The flexibility of a bus and the cheap charging of a trolley.

In general a lot of this has to do with the infrastructure of your city, and the local costs of retrofitting streets to include overhead wires.
> The initial design phase of the ribbon style was probably at a time where 4:3 or 5:4 monitors were more common

Though they were more common, the market had already moved to notebooks outselling everything else. Microsoft should have had foresight. In fact, you might say they did, with Windows Sidebar in Vista; whilst not fantastic, it was a good use of horizontal space.

Besides this, they already had interfaces in prior versions of Office that made more efficient use of vertical space __and__ made efficient use of horizontal space on widescreen displays; they were the sidebar palettes, still used in Visual Studio. They just needed further development; instead, they were completely removed.

> It's not inconsistent

It is if you're a user with special accessibility requirements, especially those with motor skill problems or vision difficulties; ephemeral interfaces are hard to target, and without a means to manually invoke it and a consistent location, might as well not be there for many a user.

A well-designed interface doesn't need to account for edge cases. Office 2003 and prior's interface, whilst not pretty, was already extremely usable in that sense. All that was needed was context-sensitivity; instead, the baby went out with the bath water.
Sure arguing against the algos is fine. THAT should be under discussion, not censorship. Censorship is an easy out because every fucking person on this board profits off of algos that drive people insane and unhealthy but censorship is an easy out to avoid confronting the real problem.
Container Tabs give you no control over which extensions are used in that container. That is my main use of Profiles.
I suppose its a matter of semantics, but 'easily minable' is not the same as 'guaranteed free'.

Bitcoin's mining cost was always a function of hash power, hardware and electricity cost (and competition). If it was cheap, it was because you were early. Satoshi mined from day 1, which is how he amassed coins.

Some forks however played in a developed crypto space and wanted to guarantee themselves a chunk of coins that would not require them to openly compete for them.

Does the difference matter? I dunno.
It confuses me too. Is there a way to turn it off?

I'm sad this has happened to your daughter, nevertheless I believe it's your own fault, not Tumblr's (well, someway maybe, the recommendation system could have been made less nasty, people interested in weird content should probably search for it themselves) and not of its users. Every thing should have its corner on the web and you just shouldn't go and let your kids go to those that are not for you. The fact tigers will probably kill whoever they meet doesn't mean there should be no places on Earth where they are not exterminated, just don't go there unprepared. Not every site on the web is to be sterile.

Also really dangerrous and really weird content like that you've described is not going to be affected by the new policy, all it bans are genitals and nipples which actually make nearly as much sense to hide as ears and fingers, people have imagined particular body parts are some kind worse than others and made this a part of the culture but it's not real and just seeing particular body parts can not actually harm a psyche of a healthy human in whatever an age (although I don't insist actual sexual acts can't).
What "story"? That it is on the horizon? That doesn't fit with "didn't happen", which sounds like you're thinking of something like giving a time frame for a collapse which then didn't happen in that time frame.

Can you give an example of that, maybe except the 2012 stuff and tiny religious sects you can't possibly be naming in one breath with David Attenborough?
> This is not unique, it is the “integrated” vs “best of breed” offering.

The integration aspect really matters for security and compliance, as well as standardisation: all of which become bigger concerns the larger your organization. If you use the AWS service, you can re-use IAM, CloudTrail, CloudFormation etc. If you attach a third-party service to your AWS setup, then there's a bunch of things to work out.
it wasn't a full on ban, but I do remember drama a year or two ago when Tumblr banned LGBTQ+ content from their safe search. This was also eventually backtracked.
If you rewrite this method in terms of determinants, then it also has the bonus of generalizing correctly to arbitrarily many dimensions! And it also gives you a nice picture - imagine adding and subtracting simplices with one point at the origin (triangles in 2D, tetrahedra in 3D).
write code, it pays.
I think you hit the nail in the head. Kids (and many grownups) are very vulnerable to groupthink, The only solution I see is encouraging common sense through critical thinking.
I think there is a need for deployment approaches for both: feature engineering and modeling. For example, please consider feature scaling and case when the mean of the feature is drifting. Then the feature engineering and probably ML model needs to be updated. I'm not aware of ready solutions for such problems.
Listen, we won't have to execute over 99% of people.
Being removed from a specific platform and being inaccessible on the internet are two different things.

Alex Jones could purchase IP space, peer with other IXs and theoretically get his own news site to rival any existing ones. This should always be allowed.

Individual services run by private entities should always be allowed to remove users from the service. xkcd 1357 is a good match here.

edit: there could also be an argument that IXs could remove his peering, but i think that's a separate discussion. Ideally IXs should peer regardless of content.
