Less polished in what way?
I do this too and it works great in personal contexts cause people love sharing their opinions and hearing themselves talk generally speaking.

This is in stark contrast to the workplace where I've experienced that keeping my mouth shut in a meeting to gather my thoughts before contributing a well informed opinion, the loudest person in the room has already spoken a handful of times and left their mark and then continues to speak over people and dominate the conversation for better or worse (usually the latter unless they are a SME).

I'm then forced to revert to speaking ASAP to get a word in so I don't walk away from a meeting being perceived as contributing little cause I was getting enough words.

Maybe it's all in my head cause I'm an introvert and meetings drain my energy. Anyone else experience this? Got any tips?
I would not dismiss C or C++ as viable avenues of progress. There are viable C++ / C only deep learning libraries https://pjreddie.com/darknet/, available that are easily ported and embedded C++ can be pretty pleasant to write. We currently use C++14 on a embedded Power processor with custom vector unit and 16kB of SRAM and it works like a charm.
As others have mentioned and I believe you were referring to, Firefox does let you create bookmarks with keywords to accomplish the same thing.

Funnily enough, I've often seen Firefox users unaware that they can do the same with custom search keywords in Chrome, so the problem runs both ways.

As someone who uses these features in both Firefox and Chrome, I do think it would be nice if Firefox copied how Chrome automatically adds these search actions, and perhaps a bit of the UI polish too (like how Chrome's omnibox will recognize you're performing a keyword search and adapt accordingly). It doesn't make much of a difference for existing power users, but it could help new users discover and use the feature.
I like a bit of a hint about what an app does before i signup!
The main reason developers prefer chrome over firefox is the devtools hands down. When firebug was amazing in the jquery era, we used firefox but now chrome's devtools is simple, fast and full featured to use. If firefox's devtools is as good as or better than chrome's maybe things can change!
Not on page submit, but you can do it when the form is still visible before you submit.
Built to Last: John McPhee's Way of Seeing
Given that it's Chromium (and thus effort to get things running should be minimal), and most Electron app writers aren't pushing Chromium to the bleeding edge, why wouldn't they test on the one that ships with the desktop OS with the largest installed base out there?
At least in that case I can see what you might think you're getting out of the deal. But typing "thes" instead of "thesaurus"? Seriously?
It's pretty easy honestly. Download a free VM and test away: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/v...

In practice Chrome is not that cross platform. WebGL is an example: Chrome renders differently due to its use of ANGLE, has bad performance due to its GPU blacklist, etc. If you want to support Windows you have to test on Windows, period, regardless of browser.

More generally this take was good back when IE was dominant. Now it's just terrible: Edge is resisting the monoculture, not propagating it. Chrome is working hard to make the OS irrelevant by defeating platform conventions. Standard Mac UI idioms like Quit and Hide don't even work properly in the latest Chrome. Eventually the platforms will become an undifferentiated soup with GMail key equivalents and innovation in OSes will end; why even bother to have more than one OS if it's just to run Chrome?
When will it peak and go down again so I don’t have to keep looking at this garbage strewn haphazardly all about the city?
The Myth of Meaning: How the System Filters Out Reality
Casetext (YC S13) Is Seeking a Product/UI/UX Designer in SF or NYC
Or smaller than IE :0

Also remove the desktop filter and watch Safari jump up to like 20% and FF down to 4.5%. Usage of the Web on mobile is huge, and it's even bleaker for FF there.
The window and rendering is a bit more jittery. The UI is less slick. I do find static sites render faster in FF. But JS-heavy pages are (somewhat) faster in Chrome.
> I think its because you feel included since most of the show is back-and-forth gossip on family issues where its common for the people in the scene to try and find a solution to a problem where the problem person is excluded from the conversation.

Yes. I see this kind of shows as social pornography. But meanwhile pornography is seen as something that you see in private and you are kind of ashamed to recognize that you see it publicly. This social pornography is widely accepted and even children watch it with, usually, their mothers.

Society needs to create a taboo about this kind of shows. It maybe OK to watch them on your own if you need it. But not to include children and not to make it the center of your life.

Enterprise certification programs are very often money grabs that companies fall for and employees get saddled with participating in. The last thing I am interested in is sitting through a "React Certified Developer" exam. I hope that is not where the industry is headed.

It is interesting though, I can imagine it's really hard to hire good talent for many hiring managers because it is difficult to spot who is good or bad. I am sure they wish there was some kind of standard measure like other industries have.
Yeah, but the indicator that you’re using such a bookmark when typing “wp Foo” in the address bar is really poor. When you use the OpenSearch search engine integration you can also set a keyword but it’s highlighted properly. Downside is that you need to enable the separate search bar to get the option to add a site’s OpenSearch provider when visiting it because the small looking glass gets a tiny plus you need to click.

I recently switched from chrome to Firefox but the search engine situation is something I’m not really happy about.
Agreed, the Chrome Devtools are amazing for development and the pace of new features helps in testing new standards.
What specifically do you find better in the Chrome devtools? I find Firefox devtools to be slightly nicer (but I don't really think either one has a massive edge over the other).
Worth noting that they encrypted end-to-end encrypted. So they would have to get their storage system hacked as well as push out malicious clients to collect secret keys in order to obtain your passwords.
Safari is leaving itself in the dirt. It's the new IE with slow, quirky, and unreliable features. They made some advancements in privacy, but so did Firefox without giving up on actual rendering and standards.
Woah, where are they selling these $12 tech books? I just blew like 50$ on Manning's half-off sale ordering prerelease books. There was nothing below $40.
As an XLA:GPU person I'm curious how the performance of Julia natively compiling to CUDA compares to using XLA:GPU.

In particular, is this a promising approach, or do you see it as a dead end compared to generating GPU code natively? If it's promising, are there things we need to do in XLA:GPU to make it less awful for you?

(Reasons you might want to use XLA:GPU include, you don't have to reinvent all our performance and correctness hacks for cudnn, and maybe our kernels run faster since we're targeting such a limited domain?)
Wish they’d legalise electric scooters here in the UK.
I think you're confusing Udemy with Udacity. I think this confusion is common, and probably not helping Udacity much.
> I think modern Firefox is a much better browser than Chrome though, but Mozilla certainly lost the PR war and to no fault but their own, because Firefox sure sucked for a long while.

This gets said often, but I've been using Firefox continually since 2003 and I've never noticed it sucking.
"encrypted (hashed) passwords"

Was it hashed AND encrypted or another case of people not understanding the difference?
I switched over summer and the only thing I really miss is the translation built into Chrome. S3.Translator seems to be the recommended alternative, but compared to Chrome it's next to useless. I find it very slow, constantly nagging and often it breaks websites. in Chrome the translation 'just works'.

Typing a word or words that don't look like a url or file has so far as I can recall always searched the default search engine for the word or query. This so far as I can recall has always been the case. Can you replicate this in a fresh profile to ensure this isn't just something you have set?
How do you know for sure what percentages of each batch were fentanyl?

I can understand why it would be more dangerous, higher binding affinities mean smaller recreational window.
While I'm with you on the variety side, lest not forget that Chromium is at least open source, permitting other vendors to do a move like this instead of being left in the cold (and in this way probably committing back to the project). The flip side here is that building a fully featured browser engine from scratch that is "just" good enough to render 80% of pages correctly is a herculean, almost impossible task in 2018. Browsers went from graphic tools to browse the Internet to a full blown Operating System with sandboxed arbitrary code execution, intricate cross-origin rules, staged caching, full vector graphics animation systems and whatnot.

Although I would have loved even more choice (or MS championing the superb Firefox rendering engine instead), I think we're already well off with two fully featured and completely open source browser engines.
Spell check just needs a dictionary installed, not a plugin. This takes about three clicks.
This is exactly where the lost me too. I'm moving towards using Facebook and Gmail in their own Firefox containers. But the problem is, I foresee a lot of sites that use "Sign in with Google" deliberately crippling their experience for people who don't expose their Google session...
Very cool, Ed! Was excited when I found Ripley. Can't wait to use it with my team of writers.

I’m interested by this as every time I have tried to browse with NoScript it has indeed been completely horrific.
Facebook's fake quest to connect the world
Firefox has always tended to have the best ad blocking add-ons. Have other browsers caught up?
Link shorteners are banned on HN; you could repost this using the underlying URL.
They don't, officially. Nothing is stopping them from updating the client to siphon your passwords or the encryptuon key, though. This is a problem all password managers have.

It would be nice to have some kind of communication protocol that could be provably restricted from passing whatever the company wants.
> Account information (e.g. name, email address, encrypted password, data imported from linked networks when authorized by users)

Quora encrypted passwords instead of hashing them? FAIL.
They do store your "vault" on their server. It's encrypted though using key that doesn't leave your computer. However I can easily imagine deliberate as well as innocent "mistakes" in browser plugins and other weak links in architecture that would expose the master key and hence your vault.
Yet, reading another point of view that you don't necessarily agree on is good
The "real message" of the Bible is clear and plain to anyone who reads it (no matter the language). The biggest arguments in Christianity are often on issues that the biblical writers considered side topics, and thus only touched briefly - such as the form of worship services.
Advancements in user tracking are not the same thing as general technology advancements. Apps that suck up location data deserve all of the flak they get.
@chadash thx for the explanation.

With regards to
> that investors think that rates of return on government bonds are going to go down in the future.

Does it mean that investors think that US government will pay 'less interest' in the future for these 5 year bonds ?

If yes, does that mean that investors think that US government will be willing to pay less to its lendors
(the bond holders).
Which, would also mean that bond buyers think it is good
time now to lock in a higher rate.

(seems like a good thing if one is a US taxpayer, if the gov will pay less to money lenders, unless US people are starving...).

For example, Ukrain's 3 year bond pays 18%

What an irony. I've been using firefox for 10+ years and now it is faster, uses less resourses and doesn't crash. As a user, this is the browser I have been waiting for.

Yes, dev tools features could be expanded as well as the plugin franework(vimperator!).But these are non-issues for regular users.
Quora does not only want you to sign in, they want you to show your real identity instead of a handle or another pseudonym. For a simple online service, it should never be necessary to use your real identity, if only as a privacy-enhancing measure.
I think signing in with anything other than email is a horrible idea. By doing that, you forever tie yourself (and your data) to Google. I never use those options.
Lol, because of bugs? I sense more bias and it's not bug related.

Unless you have SR-IOV setup this doesn’t tell you if the website is slow because of lack of GPU acceleration or something you could fix.

Still at least you can see if it actually works, unlike Safari.
Edge is a terrible product: it's a poor clone of its competitors and it has no distinguishing feature. Microsoft needed to actually innovate here and they didn't. Nor did they find an unmet need. Edge exists because everyone hates IE, not because it has something new for the user.
I've seen people include such tags on the logged in areas for cancer patients in medical websites without batting an eye and wondering why that's a bad thing.
Obligatory (and useful) FSF quote :

Unless MS wants to work on the browser secretly for years (the reason for the Webkit fork) or Google refuses many contributions from MS (the reason for the Blink fork), there's no need for a fork.
HN has already been overrun by primitivists.
For me the FF dev tools are not as good as Chrome's. For the basics I need both browsers offer the same functionality. However, on my machine, FF has performance problems with the dev tools open. Also, when I rearrange the width of the columns in the network tab, after some seconds and without knowing why, the columns return to their original width.
Forget it, those are lost causes, and a clear indicator of pretty much everything wrong with our industry: if they were capable of more, they wouldn't be "programming" in Java.
Total is absolutely French. The fuel company did not take an English name! The « to » in the French total is pronounced exactly like the « teau » in porte-manteau. (Unlike « tout », of course.)

You made me realize that the word porte-manteau was indeed butchered into portmanteau, which is supposed to sound French if you pronounce it in English. That's just another level of silliness to me…
As someone with a six year old daughter who loves YouTube. I worry about this too. I can't really explain why I am worried, maybe I am just being a parent. I just hope in future sometime my daughter doesn't have some altered version of reality gleaned from commercials on YouTube.
Firefox lockbox does. It’s still in beta afaik.

Seems like "encrypted" is in there for laymen and "hashed" being a clarification for more technical people. In the post they say: "... the passwords were encrypted (hashed with a salt that varies for each user) ..."
Can you imagine being a software engineer and being okay with getting rich by developing technology that wastes some aggregated hundreds of thousands if not millions of man-hours per day on completely pointless trash like Candy Crush or refreshing the Facebook feed repeatedly? Sure there's no physical harm, but the reach seems to be further than a dissident here or there.
Email can be encrypted. Besides that most of the time these very same services have (broken) password reset processes that rely on that email address anyway so the security improvement is nil in practice.
No, of course not: I've worked for so many years in finite element analysis / computational fluid dynamics industry, only for a "Hackernews" to tell me that I have no idea what a simulator is. O tempora, o mores...

I hear this a lot, but I find Safari to be an entirely usable browser day-to-day - the reduction in power usage is very noticeable vs Firefox or Chrome.
"all its incantations" - did you mean 'incarnations'? (though I like 'incantations'! )
I test in Edge, and then I get shit cause it doesn't work in IE11.
The only family member I tell anything about what tech to use is my wife, and she uses FF like me, which is irritating because then she logs in and out of my services and I have to do double the work.

Thanks for the interesting insight.

While I agree the petrodollar is a big deal, and it does afford us a lot of extra leeway in monetary policy, we can't forget that the US is still an economic powerhouse in many, many different industries. And the power of singularly focused economies like Saudi Arabia is waning.

The shallow reporting is that manufacturing is gone, but the reality is, we have higher manufacturing output than ever. (The fewer jobs needed for higher output is a different story.) We have an enormous lead in software. Intel and Qualcomm are the two biggest semiconductor companies. We have the largest oil and natural gas reserves, much of which is still untapped. A large share of world media entertainment is here. The US pharmaceutical industry accounts for almost half of the world output. World banking and finance is huge. Real estate market is enormous and highly desirable to outside investment. And this is for a country with less than 5% of the world's population.

And that's just some of the big stuff that the US leads the way in. There are so many other industries that the US is still a global player in. What I'm getting at is the the breadth and depth of the U.S. economy is so large that it is hard to comprehend and I don't think the failure of any one industry will be enough to produce significant hardship for the US. Nor does the economy need to rely on the petrodollar for protection in the long term.
https://blog.quora.com/Quora-Security-Update seems to be misleading, especially the introduction. They start with 'some user data was compromised', however, it seems that for 'approximately 100 million Quora users' – that's basically all users! – all user data was compromised …

In addition, many questions remain open, for example: Which ' leading digital forensics and security firm' is working for Quora?

I hope for Quora that they met their 72-hour deadline according to the GDPR. Looking at https://www.quora.com/about/privacy, it does not look if Quora was / is GDPR-ready. They do not mention any legal basis for the processing (art. 13 GDPR) and they do not inform about their GDPR data representative in the EU (art. 27 GDPR).

Honestly I think second class citizen is acceptable, even preferable. Chrome is always available if the site is just too compelling to ignore. But most of the web is user-hostile, and directs its barrels at Chrome.
exactly. if everyone is just in "absorbing" mode, who to listen to.
Absolutely. I found reading A. v. Humboldt absolutely fascinating. (He has the added merit of not only having been a brilliant scientist, but also a gifted prose writer.) And James Watson's "The Double Helix" was an intriguing insight into a period in biology when much of what we take for granted was just being discovered. One gains a deeper understanding for any system of thought when one learns how it came to be.
It's been a really long time I experienced any crash from Firefox. Last time I had instabilities, it was due to my profile. Deleting it solved the issues.
1.) Chinese citizens can't fix their own stuff, because organizing for a change that they want is not something they dare / are allowed to do.

2.) To not spread that into non-totalitarian companies, we must not mormalize totalitarianism. If we did, who would we beg for a better search engine or such petty gimmicks -- when the whole world is a corrupt place run by murderers?

3.) Speaking of that, murder is not government. Obedience towards murderers is not citizenship.

4.) You just used the word "noble" to deny the nobility of those quitting Google, and ascribe it to something that is not noble in the least. It's like something you noticed other people care about, you just don't quite know what it is.

> Every powerful state relies on specialists whose task is to show that what the strong do is noble and just and, if the weak suffer, it is their fault.

-- Meister Eckhart

5.) The confusion is not mutual.
I'd disagree with amateurish.

I agree that some of what they're advertising looks like 'intro to web bodging' and 'learn to mash tables without learning the maths', but there's also Norvig: https://www.udacity.com/course/design-of-computer-programs--...

this is a really nice example of a simple, practical, "non-deep" NN. I'm wondering, are there any good learning resources you could recommend to start a project like this?

It makes me want to try a personal project that makes use of a tiny light-weight NN as well. I see giant AlphaGo neural nets mentioned so frequently that I forgot they could be lean :)
