There were people toiling in the golden era of the Space Race doing menial things of no lasting value as well. The idea that some people have of the best minds of our generation being wasted just focusing on ads and APIs and worthless things is silly.

It's like some people pretend that no one is working on space ships, sustainable energy, electric cars, extending the human lifespan, genetic engineering, quantum computing, memristors, real-time communications platforms to remove national boundaries, etc, all of the stuff that is actually changing the world and is actually happening right now.

We're not in a dark age. If anything we're in the brightest age we've ever been in. So much cool shit is happening, so much groundbreaking and future-shaping research is occurring, and the very nature of what it means to be human is evolving faster now than it has in thousands of years... and the coolest thing about it is, so much is happening that people are able to forget about it. People are able to set aside the idea that they're holding the entire world in their hand, wirelessly, with chips as powerful as the most powerful desktops running silently, obeying their every command as they connect to the World Wide Web and complain to everyone around the globe that we must surely be in a dark age because we don't have government-sponsored space shuttles anymore.

And that communication may very well be bounced off a satellite placed into orbit by a private company with a launch that is so commonplace that it's not even announced on TV anymore. Dark age indeed.
Thank you. The tutorials have been very valuable over the years.
The statistics I quoted referred to the OP article. I care about relatively few town issues and have attended meetings or signed a petition when there’s been something of interest. I don’t go to church potlucks or other town events in general nor do I care to for the most part.
Not to argue in either direction, but I think you should be able to "fix" the bisect problem with a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
bad=$(git rev-parse "$1")
good=$(git rev-parse "${@:2}")

git bisect start "$bad" $good

filter=$(echo "$good" | sed 's/^/^/' | cat <(echo "$bad") - | xargs)
comm -13 \
<(git rev-list --first-parent $filter | sort) \
<(git rev-list $filter | sort) \
| xargs git bisect skip

I haven't tested it all too thoroughly, but from what `git bisect view` tells me, this seems to work like a `git bisect --first-parent`. I'm wondering why there is no such option...

For anyone unfamiliar with git extension scripts: You should be able to put it in an executable (`chmod +x`) file (say `git-bisect-branch`) in your $PATH to make it usable (`git bisect-branch $bad $good...`).
Regardless, any legal department worth its salt will avoid touching this wording of a license with a ten foot pole. Which means that only hobbyist will use it.

It would be great if businesses worked on common sense and honor, but that's not the world we're living in.
But there's a very good reason for that, and it's because single ownership provides clear accountability for progress. When multiple people "own" something then everything thinks that someone else is in charge of moving things forward, and orgs with multiple responsibility are generally dysfunctional as a result. If responsibility for action has moved to another stakeholder, then the Assignee should be changed to reflect that.

Of course, Jira allows multiple stakeholders to be kept in the loop by adding them as watchers. The UX could be better by making it easier to add user groups to the watch list of a batch of issues, but that's beside the point that single-responsibility is strictly better.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

People in France or Germany have access to literally 12 different providers. Everywhere. Granted, it looks like the overall speed is below the US's according to the report, but prices are so much lower (my parents probably pay in the order of $10$/mo for their TV/Internet package) and access is way more homogenous.

I suspect that US results are vastly skewed by hyper-connected areas vs huge parts of the country where Internet is total garbage.
Don Norman's book The Design of Everyday Things has indeed altered how I look at the world from a design perspective. It teaches you design awareness, and you'll find yourself noticing and understanding design elements all around you, that you didn't before. Even though it might seem a little old, the information presented in there is timeless, so I highly recommend it as well. It is in fact the first book I would suggest to anyone wanting to learn how to think like a designer.

I recently got his other book, Emotional Design, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Yeah, I am thinking about the worst case here, but never underestimate the power of your users to perform very silly queries!

For your hosted service, will you put in place any restrictions on, for example, the size of the time range that can be queried?

Also for your hosted service, will the degree of parallelisation vary by pricing tier?

I agree with the rest of your post except for

>But paying for bench time is a norm, not an exception

Having worked at a temp firm for a low skilled job, call center and data entry, you don't get paid for downtime. They have you on an agreement where you get paid hourly and just aren't scheduled. Or they let you go and call you back if there's more work later. The negotiating power isn't there for employees to have the companies shoulder that risk
The basic premise of the article seems sound, that money corrupted an arrangement that might otherwise be innocent.

Uber / Lyft were upgrades to Craiglist ads for rides / carpools - more convenient for riders, and drivers make a few bucks taking someone somewhere they were going anyway.

AirBnB was a way for travelers to access a more "charming" experience, maybe a little more conveniently than booking a hotel/BnB or scanning CL ads for rooms for rent.

Where they went wrong was professionalization, i.e. people driving full-time or renting for the income.

That's when it became obvious that Uber/Lyft was actually a taxi company and AirBnB a rental broker.

In fairness, if in certain cities (NYC) taxis weren't intentionally managed to scarcity, Uber/Lyft probably would have had more difficulty gaining traction.

Nor would I begrudge a homeowner making a little money boarding guests.

But of course the economic opportunity proved too much for too many to resist, which is why we have the problems mentioned in the article.

$12.4 billion in sales the last four quarters, $4.5 billion in operating income.

Their business situation is fine, entirely without the crypto market. Intel saw little growth for many years, while generating immense profit, and while the multiple that investors were willing to give them compressed. Intel will soon have a 10-12 PE ratio. The entire semiconductor industry saw a dumping in the stock market, blamed on an industry down cycle. Micron is trading for three times earnings as another example. nVidia was up at ~43 times earnings before the drop, very rich for the industry. Now they're down closer to ~22, which is a lot closer to fair value based on their reduced growth expectations.

The issue that the article entirely ignores, is valuation compression with a stock market that decided to dump some rich multiple stocks (Netflix is down ~35%) and particularly semiconductor stocks. That's how you lose half your valuation in a few months.
What you described does defy all business logic... except in the presence of regulatory externalities (anti-trust legislation) that causes the business move to be a net positive.

I don't think there's any optimism or pessimism to it, just rational actions.
This is true for most places, but expensive build locations like the Bay Area, where custom homes are $400-600+ psf allow for competitive modular in the 2xx price range.
What I meant was basically I wished they stuffed more cores where the ray tracing stuff is in the 2080 and sold it for the same price. Obviously, that may not be a decision particularly in their interests. The only way it would be would be if they had a competitor that would do that. Now, they add audience specific bells-and-whistles to each chip and sell the chips at price they calculate each audience will pay. They do have to recoup the truly vast expenses involved in developing this stuff.

And sure, I want to Moore's Law pricing overall. Even if each generation is twice the power of the last generation, I still want each generation at the same price. But again, only with competition.
The sharing economy works because of the American tendency to own/buy way more capacity that is usually required. People own cars but don't use them all the time or people buy extra rooms for their homes for the two times a year they have visitors. People saw this untapped capacity and exploited it. We should encourage better utilization of resources assuming the proper regulations are in place to do so.
I'd also like to recommend CGP Grey's Rules for Rulers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs) which is based on The Dictator's Handbook. I really should add that to my library though...
Because consumers don’t care what a platform is, they want a usable computing device. People are thoroughly frustrated by having to hunt for programs to do stuff that, to them, is an obvious necessity that should have been easy to do from the very start.

System utilities like notepad are a compromise between “giving users what they want” and “not burning too many bridges or attracting antitrust lawsuits”.
She could install an ad blocker.
How is it a look at the sharing economy in particular? It was a satirical take on modern capitalism, sure, but I didn't see how WorryFree was supposed to remind you of a person working a contracting job such as an Uber driver. Quite the opposite in fact, the employees of WorryFree seemed to be signing up for lifelong, permanent and inflexible employment terms. Uber drivers may get a raw deal but surely one would acknowledge at least that they have more flexibility w.r.t. when and where they work than the other typical jobs in a capitalist economy.
Don’t Make Me Think

This is why I work in graphical clients (GitKracken being my current preference). They make interactive staging of individual files or lines utterly trivial.

I do partial commits significantly more often than committing everything, and often do things like a couple commits, checkout another branch (and GitKracken does an auto stash + apply) then commit a separate fix there before switching back to the original branch.

Also there are several other things it makes easier: being able to multi-select commits and see a combined diff, quicky diff between two random branches, and just generally browsing back through history. And importantly, it's easy to do all this without having to remember, copy/paste or type any branch names or commit hashes.
Opinion polling doesn't support your neat "both sides do it" narrative:

> In 2013, when Barack Obama was president, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found that only 22 percent of Republicans supported the U.S. launching missile strikes against Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons against civilians.

> A new Post-ABC poll finds that 86 percent of Republicans support Donald Trump’s decision to launch strikes on Syria for the same reason. Only 11 percent are opposed.

> The Post-ABC poll indicates somewhat greater consistency on the part of Democrats. Some 37 percent of them back Trump’s strike, compared to a statistically indistinguishable 38 percent who backed a strike in 2013.

> master/PhD theses: sorry. It’s probably hopeless if it’s pre-2000. If you have a university proxy, you may be able to get a copy off ProQuest. Otherwise, you need full university ILL services, and even that might not be enough (a surprising number of universities appear to restrict access only to the university students/faculty, with the complicating factor of most theses being stored on microfilm).

Simple answer: Cost.

When debugging you'd want as much info as possible and you'd want to be able to simply tail + grep it. I've been told to log less because the amount I was logging would burn a hole in the pocket when deployed to production. Sometimes, at scale people only send WARN (maybe even only ERROR) and above in production which is sometimes not enough when trying to debug a system on fire.

While ELK does a great job of indexing the contents, and if you depend on it for BI, you should definitely still keep it for use-cases where just select+grep won't suffice. But for just storing logs, and being able to select, stream and grep laaarge quantities of logs, Loki will come in handy.
Hi, I am one of co-authors of the paper.

Thank you for your interest in our demo.

Regarding the points you raise in your comment:

1. Layout

You are right that we use static layout for all comics we generate. Changing that has a high priority on our todo list, we are currently working on more dynamic layout generation that takes into account what we know about the story and which frames are more important than others.

2. Style transfer

The method we use gives the most pleasant results of all obtained with various style transfer methods applied to comics - see our previous work on comparison between them here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.01726.

3. Story sense

(>probably not doing anything to detect/convey a better sense of the story<)
We use Video Summarization model in our pipeline, however as mentioned above, we use static layouts and therefore this is not always apparent.

Overall, this demo is only a starting point. We are working on adding automatic speech recognition and text generation to introduce dialogs into our comics. And we have many other improvements planned. Stay tuned and if you have any other comments feel free to send us an email to any of the addresses from the paper: 243678@pw.edu.pl, 280814@pw.edu.pl, 261406@pw.edu.pl, t.trzcinski@ii.pw.edu.pl.

ReadyAI Launches AI-in-a-Box
I’ve read (and love) his book and enjoy thinking about function and design. I think there’s a risk of designing at the expense of joy and beauty though, and Don Norman seems to have qualified his position post-The Design of Everyday Things in a TED Talk[0]. I think it’s worthwhile watching.

I'm not going to get into the back and forth below this comment.

I have a form of cystic fibrosis. It is standard practice for CF clinics to have a dietitian on staff. Last I checked, they recommended a "high fat, high calorie, high salt" diet for CF. In line with that, they straight up recommend you eat junk food.

I'm currently drug free, which is supposed to be impossible. I achieved that in part by focusing on improving my nutritional status. Instead of eating a high calorie, junk food diet, I got very picky about food quality and nutritional value.

So that's where I'm coming from. I'm a former homemaker. If me reading up a bit on nutrition and food chemistry and applying it to my life can get such dramatically better results than conventional wisdom for my condition, it seems to me the bar for what doctors need to know about food and health is set pretty low.

No they don't. You are just presenting false equivalence while ignoring the magnitude of the reality distortion field that republicans push with no close equivalent from democrats.

- Name an rejection of scientific consensus like Global Warming (and before you say anti-vaxxers, that is not a mainstream democrat policy like Global Warming denial is...again, no false equivalence please)...

It's far less abstract, but I really appreciate the Material Design documentation[1] that Google published. And while there may be some dissenting opinions, it's generally a good idea and read.

Personally, I'm mostly using the `material-ui`[2] package for React use, but you'll find other material based libraries for any number of frameworks and platforms. In general, I've been sticking to the overall guidelines with a few tweaks, and the responses in general for the application I'm currently working on have been incredibly positive.

We want to reinvent and simplify the classical city-/local-guide app by using nothing else than photos, emojis and lot of AI. We basically changed the classic rating system using stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ into just using emojis. The emoji-ratings are displayed in an emoji-cloud at each place: The bigger an emoji the more relevant it is. The app works like a hyperlocal Instagram: Users share photos of locations and tag these places using up to 3 Emojis – call them Happy Places. Those Happy Places are then compiled into other user’s individual recommendation feeds based on their current location. Using ML (reinforcement learning) the app learns autonomously your individual local taste. Works in Berlin, London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, NY, LA and Miami.

I manage the React Core team. That sounds wrong to me.

Facebook has not made any meaningful changes in its OSS strategy. It has always been the case that it takes energy to maintain projects in OSS and that for projects that are not used much by external folks it might not be worth the energy.

However, we are continuing to develop React with OSS as a first class citizen, doubling down on our investment in React Native in open source, and likely to still open source new projects as they make sense.
