Cultures vary. Many regions have waiters that are called when needed rather than coming by themselves. I much prefer that to the awkward interruptions in American restaurants just so we can say "everything's fine" in the middle of a conversation.

Waiters working for tips leads to a territorial approach to customers and leads to an awkward dynamic where they aren't focused on good service but rather the impression of good service required for the tip.

> all of them believe their way of doing it “is Agile.” ... the only commonality in all of it is time-waster meetings like stand-ups and backlog grooming.

Have you ever tried alternative approaches to software development? I suspect that the main reason you're frustrated with Agile is that you have never dealt with it's predecessors. There is undoubtedly wasted time in Agile, but with other processes, it seems like the goal is to maximize the wasted time.

I do believe smaller chunks are better than larger ones, but I'll happily take larger chunks over going back to a waterfall process.
If you do this, you weaken your device against hostile tempering as well, don't you? The key update mechanism becomes part of the attack surface.

For those wondering, this is Google Drive's paid plans, but it has undergone a rebranding to emphasize Google's ecosystem. I can think of some reasons why this might be a good idea:

1. Your storage in Google Drive is actually not used only by what's on GDrive, but includes your emails and Google Photos. So it is more correct to deemphasize the connection to GDrive.

2. This is a good first step to unify Google's paid B2C services that it may want to offer, especially since G+ is being discontinued.

> you risk never shipping by never shipping critical functionality that is hard to chunk

You don't have to be perfect at dividing up a big project, but you should at least try. Breaking down big pieces of functionality into smaller pieces is one of the core tenants of Agile.

In fact, your approach has far more risk. By refusing to try to break things down into smaller units, you risk not shipping anything because every feature is deemed "critical".
So one question about that. In

h1 = f1(x) + x
h2 = f2(h1) + h1
h3 = f3(h2) + h2
h4 = f4(h3) + h3
y = f5(h4) + h4

the functions are all different. But to see it as "a primitive ODE solver", then the functions should be the same?

So if I understand correctly you have a different take on RNN's but not on deep residual nets in general?

I think what's meant is that by putting it first, you can always treat any point in P^n as a point in P^m by just ignoring the extra numbers if m < n or by treating the missing numbers as all being 0 if m > n. That is the point in P^2, [1 x y], can also be regarded as the point [1 x] in P^1, the point [1 x y 0] in P^3, the point [1 x y 0 0] in P^4, etc. This is in contrast to putting it last, where if you have [x y 1] in P^2 and you want the point in P^1 you need to allocate a new list [x 1], etc.

The vector is sparse in the sense that you can regard a point as being an infinitely long list of numbers of which we are sparsely giving only that prefix that is non-zero (like how you can regard a decimal numeral as being an infinitely long list of digits, all the ones that are missing being 0).

[1] is the origin point in any dimension because it is [1] in P^0, [1 0] in P^1, [1 0 0] in P^2, etc.

At first glance Artemis seemed like a perfect way to overfit your benchmark as it critically depends on the versatile test suite and not much else. But thinking again, it still might be used to give a list of candidate fixes which can be reviewed and applied by human developers later.

Police departments have major limitations on manpower and budgets. Setting up sting operations with fake packages, surveillance, and all this stuff is going to be extremely expensive on both accounts. And the ultimate reward is that you just busted a guy who either committed a very minor felony which some states, such as California, are even moving to change to a misdemeanor. And I'd imagine a decent number of the offenders are not exactly financially well to do, meaning they may not even be able to pay the fines to recoup some of the costs involved in busting them.

Think about the sort of petty offenses that are more actively pursued. You'll almost always find they tend to be low execution cost with a high probability of receiving payment: traffic violations, prostitution stings, drug related stuff, etc.

> It is not about instant communication but about transparency and bug reporting tools.

Good transparency and bug reporting tools are only possible with instant communication.

If you need to call a meeting and have senior devs fly-in somewhere to report them, bug reporting is difficult, and addressing those bugs are even more difficult. If all it takes is instantly opening a github issue, you can find out about the issue and address it nearly instantly.
Yes, but if implemented in a secure manner the key update mechanism presents a smaller risk than that of a hardcoded key becoming known to an adversarial party.

At work, on Chrome I get this error: `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR`... oh the irony.
No, I really think the situation is better than that. If you view the ray tracing as "something extra", almost like when shaders were first "invented". You use them to add softer shadows. Caustics. Interesting volumetric tricks. And people will just want them.
No, but XML parsing is a solved problem, PDF parsing isn't.
I might simplify that further into three segments with different silicon strategies:

Low (~15m units) - MacBooks except 15" MBP

Med (~2-4m units) - 15" MBP, iMac, and Mac mini

High (<1m units) - iMac Pro and Mac Pro

In LOW, silicon-wise its essentially free since they already have a SoC powerful enough w/A13X+. They can always bump up the wattage/frequency and/or decrease the chassis size to define a slightly new market segment where compute expectations are lower (e.g. the Air approach).

Between LOW & MED is the mobile workstation use case of the higher spec 15" (or larger) MBP. Cheapest solution: add a discrete GPU.

In MED, they could still use A13X+ and add discrete GPU at higher SKUs. Alternately, they could create a beefier chip ("A13XL"?) that would just bolt more cores onto the CPU/GPU.

Between MED & HIGH would be the semi-pro use case of the higher spec 27" iMac (or even certain use cases of Mac Mini). Hard to say what cheap solution is here beyond better GPU.

In HIGH, it feels like Intel is here to stay for a while. These use cases still really need the beefy Xeons and are dealing with lots of pro-level edge cases which favors staying with x86, ECC, etc, and cost-wise it's very low volume.

On these Pro machines where price is less of an object, and to keep up with the rapid feature development roadmap they get from A-series, it feels like they'd do the 'why not both' strategy and throw in an A13X+ as the primary processor and a Xeon as a co-processor with it's own RAM. Just like GPUs are co-processors today. The OS, everyday apps, and specific tasks that favor the A-series would run on the A13X+, while certain instructions and legacy x86 programs/VMs/etc would be routed to the Xeon.

---

The more I think about it the more this co-processor approach really makes sense for the next 5 years of Pro-level Macs, since it avoids the cost of creating new low-volume, high complexity silicon.

It's fun to speculate because it represents quite an interesting business + technical + market segmentation challenge. They don't want to siphon off or detract Mac users any further than they already have, but also need to start reaping the benefit of their highly competitive and high volume chips.

By that standard, when the homeowners leave packages outside after delivery they’re also “creating crime”.

The big difference is ray casting is just along a line, not on every pixel. Hence the thing with not being able to make overhangs.
> the difference in the waterfall and non-waterfall shops was the extent to which executives preferred a sense of ultimate control

So you're saying that the reason shops have moved to agile is because executives have changed their psychology and are now far more comfortable with relinquishing control than in the past? Hard to accept.

What's much easier to accept is that communication tools have reduced the cost of changing specs and building consensus, allowing the same number of people to make far more changes in the same amount of time with the same amount of effort.

The incentives of an executive (or generally, of a human) haven't changed for a few thousand years.

I've read that SATs are heavily g-loaded.

In such a case, your success being correlated with the SAT is obvious, as IQ being positively correlated with income is well-accepted in psychometrics.

So yes, you can be successful without going to a good school, but mostly because you're relatively intelligent.

> The big difference is ray casting is just along a line, not on every pixel.

I think you have it backwards. Ray tracing is O(#of pixels*number of light bounces). More common 3D rendering is based on O(# of objects in the scene). It's conceivable that ray tracing can be more efficient for scenes with many objects.
No that would make it unusable to use git in automation.

no need to dumb down a tool because someone doesn't get it.
He is right with that. There is a few desktop environments that are quite good like: KDE (Plasma), Gnome (with enough options tuning & customizing) and maybe pantheon (see elementary OS)

We'd need something more smoove and better over-all integration because there is still too many shortcomings and tiny bugs that could annoy a day-to-day user that doesn't want to know anything about config files or extended menus with special settings.
It should be a great thing out of the box with sane defaults. That includes the icon set as well as a decent file browser and terminal emulator experience (iTerm2 on mac is THE REFERENCE here, I wouldn't want anything less).

Next comes workflows like office /graphics /audio stuff. I like how OSX handles PDFs etc and would love to see that on linux as well.

But I'm afraid this scattering is one of the biggest enemies of adoption and maturity of open source software. There is so many OSes and tools that you often have to research stuff for hours before you start off with a shitty tool that get's the job half done and then you recognize you can start from scratch because it doesn't work as you expected.

Instead many open source projects could live up to their potential if they'd combine efforts to merge the best they did and create ONE super awesome tool.

The reallity is that very often projects are just abandoned because adoption / donations etc. are too low or the 2 maintainers are tired after years of working on a project only 100 ppl on the globe are using.

Unite! At least converge to 2 big streams: Pro-Users (the ppl making jokes about shellscripts) and People (your mom)

Just focus on delivering for these 2 groups and I think most ppl would be glad about the end product. I for myself will try to do my best in putting efforts into projects I hope will have the biggest adoption.

Why every Linux related topic needs to end with KDE vs Gnome discussion. The problem is not DE fragmentation but the packaging.

Every distribution spends more time on packaging and integration testing than developing useful functionality. When developing for Linux you need to package your application in a few different formats. We also have different init systems to make it more difficult. Every distro has own store and repositories. For GUI there are different frameworks and display servers.

If Linux world standardizes around snap/flatpak, systemd and wayland then we stand a chance.
