If you have a detachable keyboard, a high powered tablet is borderline laptop. It's a decent travel companion, but with macboooks so light these days ... again the tablet is just an unnessary thing. It's an optimization, not a necessity.
Do you live here? I do, and while tiny nuggets of truth are in individual sentence clauses, this is a very paranoid and over stated argument.

We have a high court. They reverse bad federal and state laws. Lots of bad immigration decisions by ministers are being overturned. Mabo happened.
I went on a weird diet of pure fat once and my wife could feel my heart was skipping a beat.

Went to a cardiologist and he told me to stop, though he said it might be a virus. I wore a machine for a day and it was showing loads of missed beats.

No symptoms since.

Worth doing if you ever suspect anything with your heart.

That isn't true at all. Many phones have OLED-type screens. The Pixel 3 XL has an OLED screen from Samsung. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/17/ifixits-pixel-3-xl-...

The Nexus 6P from 2015 has an actual AMOLED screen from Samsung (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3mzrl9/hi_im_hiroshi_...), as did the Nexus 6 before that.
Neither, they mean automatic differentiation [1], which is not symbolic like SymPy or Mathematica, but also is not finite differences.

Often, the interface for doing this is to just extend an existing numerical or array type and overload all the arithmetic operations to keep track of the gradients. Then ordinary code for numerical computations will "just work". That's basically what they've done here, except with a sophisticated compiler.

Unlike Python's `"I have {} apples".format(n)` and various shells' `"I have $n apples"`, Javascript's and Apache Groovy's `"This is chapter ${i+1}"` mean the lexer must make a call to the parser when lexing the string contents -- this allows `"This is ${"chapter"} ${i+1}"` to parse. Don't know about Javascript, but this makes Groovy's parser unreadable, and stuck on a very old version of Antlr, i.e. 2 instead of 4 (the latest).
Out of curiosity what happened to Delphi? It always seemed quite good to me.
I've had afib and it's not as scary as "heart problem" and "cardiologist" makes it sound like. Where I live at least, you don't even go to a cardiologist but an electrophysiologist and if you get the operation, it's a same-day in and out or maybe one night procedure with 85% success rate.

Anyone know - can I stop in an Apple Store and try this on a demo watch which is out for display, or do you have to be logged-in to iCloud and paired to a phone for it to work?
Also a matter of expense: a lumber mill is extremely cheap when compared to a refinery. Refinery costs are one of the main reasons crude is shipped unprocessed.

Whereas mines often do process on-site, since for something like gold ore you will be shipping multiple tons per ounce of product, plus then the remainders from the ore become a disposal problem at the processing site.

Same reason silicon foundries aren't necessarily located anywhere near where the raw materials are sourced from.
Note that this, like the regular Google Earth web client, only works in Chrome. They address this in their FAQ:

> Why is Earth Studio Chrome-only?

> Our 3D rendering engine currently uses a Chrome-only technology called Native Client to power Earth Studio. However, we’re closely tracking the evolution of WebAssembly (especially threading). Stay tuned!

I'm guessing this would have been fixed long ago if Chrome didn't have such a big market share.

I got into Tumblr because I wanted to follow my favorite author.

The content you see on Tumblr is determined by who you follow. If you use Tumblr and only see porn, it's because you're only looking for porn.
I feel similar with "Photoimpact" - which corel also bought, but has least made still available and not changed it much.

I still wish the previously free graphics library was attached and that the old GIF animator that was included with some versions previous was still available.

I keep buying it again to avoid hunting for the cdroms and activation codes buried. Also throwing some money at it keeps it from going to the graveyard hopefully.
No.. surprisingly naieve stats. There is no causal linkage between violent events beyond the business cycle, so his math on averages is observational not deterministic.

The watts riots are not linked to no blood for oil. You can't throw a line between them and plot median interval before violence breaks out like that.

Seriously: prepping makes sense if you are risk averse but you don't go from hydrology flood risk to vampires in one throw.

Given that they store all of your data in plain text, probably run your own email server or use a different service. That's not really changed by this new law and was always the case.

I can only comment on PAS but the main issues I've experienced are:

I have to login to PCF to check environments or add services to bind to an app.

The CF cli is not very easy to understand compared to aws eb cli or herokus toolbelt

The login screen says "email" but you actually have to enter your user ID

Devops become your enemies, especially if they lock down PCF environments. I don't want to beg for a redis tile.

PCF eats a lot of ram from our virtual servers.

The PCF support is layered with different urgency levels, most of the time they ignore you or are slow to respond

Basically I think it's a tool that gets in the way of developers and gives headaches to the platform team. However my company signed a contract with them, so we're tied in for a year.... I might quit before then

Another small correction: every instance of "inference" in your comment should probably be replaced with "training." It's the training phase the involves running gradient descent of various flavors to optimize the network parameters.

It’s my fault. Hundred years ago refers to previous turn of century, circa 1900, then went to 1940 about indoor plumbing for toilets. We were poor, not much above Mexican or Finnish standards (better, but hardly by much). It was anascrnt industrislization as well as WWi and WWii that catapulted us into a powerhouse.
To me it sounded like they basically just gave people the option of getting out of the NDA if they wanted to start paying for rides. I assume to most of the early riders, it's just not worth it when they can continue just getting free rides.

Realistically, I don't think the majority of the Australian community is particularly aware of, let alone opposed to this legislation. The idea that law enforcement should be able to gain access to encrypted communications if they have a warrant doesn't seem particularly controversial in the wider community either.

Given this, I'd assume the law is here to stay. The question we need to ask is how can we constructively engage politicians to minimise the flaws in the law. On that front Labor has been much more open and were instrumental in addressing some of the deeper flaws in the original legislation.

So to be clear:

1. The law specifically forbids the government requiring weakening of encryption / authentication / authorisation mechanisms.

2. The law specifically forbids the government requiring systemic vulnerabilities be introduced.

3. The law defines a consultation, review and appeal process.

4. The law prevents the government requiring someone commit a crime in a foreign jurisdiction

5. The law allows publishing the number of aggregate TAN/TCN/TAR received in aggregate in a 6 month period.

The question is where should the law be fixed and how do we engage Labor / Liberals to fix those aspects.

Personally I would like to see:

1. Better protection for software exported for use outside Australia

2. Better definition of what defines a 'systemic' vulnerability

3. Greater protection for individuals. For if a TCN/TAN could be otherwise issued to a company, then the law should not allow a notice to be issued to an individual.
I should get on that for my own infrastructure.

Thanks for the reminder.
My comment wasn't against not eating / drinking sweet thing things. My comment was anti-anti-sweet things (which is not the same as pro-sweet things in certain systems of logic)

One doesn't need to have an addiction to sweet things to want to enjoy sweet things every once in a while, though I admit that "addictions" to sweet things exist (namely my father, whom I have a hard time breaking him away from that addiction).

The point was mainly that there is a certain brand of health and fitness that says one must suffer / become a stoic ascetic in order to make progress, and it's this brand of health and fitness that is counter productive. Yes, maybe it works for many people, but it doesn't work for everyone.

I'm perfectly happy living a rather Spartan life; my 70 year old father is not and it's very difficult to change his stubborn mind.

Another way of putting it is that if you say that the only way to health and fitness is to climb over this 50 ft. wall, then you're going to get far fewer people actually putting in the effort to do so. Artificial Sweeteners are the large hand holds on the climbing wall, before they're ready to switch over.

And yes, if your goal is body recomposition, then macronutrition and caloric intake is far more important than this "artificial sweeteners make you fatter" voodoo magic nonsense.
The Sega Saturn is my go-to favourite console to write homebrew for.

I spend some free time reading and re-reading technical documents regarding the infrastructure of the system, and the functions and features each chip has.

With it’s vast complexity but incredible feature set, it’s not a wonder that average console programmers at the time could absolutely not wrap their heads around making the most of the console, and yet dedicated enough teams like Traveller’s Tales, with Sonic R, and Sonic Team, with NiGHTS and Burning Rangers, were able to get some unbelievably beautiful effects and performance from the system.

Jo-Engine (https://jo-engine.org) is a fantastic, open-source homebrew development kit that enables an incredibly simple and effective starting point for anyone wishing to code for this fantastic and overlooked system.

XL2’s fantastic Sonic Z-Treme is an example of the insane levels of creativity and performance this engine is capable of.
Ask HN: How to keep process documentation up to date?
What are the best practices for keeping documentation up to date? I find that our documentation is siloed across Visio, PPT, text docs, tribal knowledge, Quip, etc and never unified... this creates a huge headache when dealing with scenarios like on-boarding new team members, shifting responsibilities when someone is out, or just keeping everyone on the same page.

Realize that a large part of this is just being organized and disciplined but wondering if HN knows any good tools or best practices to address this? Thanks!
You will forever be a complete stranger if you don't even try to learn the local language. If you live in Singapore learning Malay is recommended it is an very easy and forgiving language. Being one of the most spoken languages in the region I think there are over 100 million speakers of different variants, and probably a lot more that can communicate with it.

That's in SF, a tiny portion of the "Bay Area housing market". Additionally, of those thousands of HQ employees, relatively few of them are going to gain the wealth needed to purchase SF homes. Consider how many of those in are non-tech and therefore low-equity positions as well as it being the case that many (most?) joined much later and had equity packages converging to market comp.
I don't see why monoculture (as long as the browser engine is good) is bad. Unlike the era of Internet Explorer, Chromium-based browsers are actually consistent with official standards.

On websites like "caniuse.com", a site which checks for support of the latest JS/HTML/CSS features, Chrome consistently ranks 1st. These features are all official features of the HTML/JS spec, not arbitrary Google-specific extensions.

Ensuring that more people use a browser with the Chromium-engine will allow web developers to use the latest features.

WebKit is a form of harmful monoculture. I'm ok with Blink's monoculture because it is probably the best rendering engine out there and inferior engines can't compete. But Apple's is creating an artificial monoculture by only allowing WebKit on iOS. This allows Apple to not innovative on WebKit and deliberately cripple new web technologies, so that people are forced to make native apps.
In terms of rifles, the relevant calculation would be more along the lines of the probability of a calamity happening and the rifle coming in handy, versus the probability that the rifle is abused in some way (stolen, harmful accident or suicide). I generally believe that those with prepper mentality downplay the latter probabilities because those are more under their control. Preppers tend to be control freaks, and worry much more about exogenous risks than risks they feel they can personally manage. However, this is likely fallacious reasoning. Everyone runs a risk of a mental/emotional break, or an act of carelessness leading to an accident.

Yes, if you had to choose between Western and other sources of journalism, you'd probably have a higher chance of getting reliable facts from Western sources. But there's no need to make that choice.

You can read a diverse selection of sources and compare their reporting to not only get a more accurate approximation of the truth, but also to notice what various sides focus on. The latter means that even if one side only publishes complete lies, the things they choose to lie about still tell you something.

Huh I never thought of that (or even knew about VoLTE). I'll look more into that. I am always hesitant to say "it was definitely such and such upgrade" but I can't think of anything else that changed about my phone in mid June except my iOS update. It took me a month or so to realize that it was a persistent pattern, so it's not like I updated on Monday and on Tuesday realized my calls were dropping.

> In a 2006 study of over 500 job postings, nearly 15 percent of recruiters actively selected against students with high G.P.A.s (perhaps questioning their priorities and life skills)

While I sorta see where this is coming from, it still strikes me as BS.

Consider a student who went to school to get a degree, which is accomplished by taking a series of courses. In those courses, said student put in the effort to understand that material, and as a result got As in most of their classes. Why does it make sense to punish this person for doing too well in their classes? I don't see how there is a reasonable connection to be made between high GPA and poor "life skills."

The jurisdiction of the court is largely granted by statute is it not? In fact, in the case of the bad immigration decisions you mention, the minister has tried to pass legislation to restrict judicial oversight.

EDIT: And he is also alleged to have used his already considerable discretionary powers to allow au pairs for politically connected individuals into Australia in violation of their visa conditions, with no consequences. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the rule of law.

Theres always a choice, and choices have consequences.

The kind of people who believe they had no choice are the worst because it shows a total lack of remorse for their selfish decisions.
