Ok, but you can't argue that talking in vague generalities is wrong because of one extreme outlier. Sure there's variance, but what does the distribution look like?
I wonder, why not a single word has been spoken about Keepass/X, which is available on all platforms (not sure about iOS, though), can work with UbiKeys, afaik, has huge im- and export support and is free from any corporate interests.
Hmm, didn't realize that; I only ever really verified it worked and worked with F# haha. In the scheme of things the optimizers are rather small bits that could be encapsulated quickly..

Poking around it looks like Accord.Net is interested in getting CNN support in via TensorFlowSharp: https://github.com/accord-net/framework/issues/92 . Then there is ConvNetSharp.

I'm sure a fun project for someone would also be to implement all this in a pure F# library. It supposedly has some pretty good GPU libs.

>> This is because TSP is not in NP

Um, the decision version of TSP (does there exist a Hamilton path of length at most x?) is definitely in NP. It is also NP-hard (your definition of NP-hardness is wrong).

I guess what you're trying to say is that the optimization version of TSP (find the shortest Hamilton path) cannot be verified in polynomial time, as this would require answering the decision version of TSP in the negative for some length x, and this is hard to verify since TSP is not in co-NP.

In spirit, your comment is absolutely spot on. But as we all know, technically correct is the best kind of correct :)
It's the first thing I thought: dude isn't going to wait for thieves and chance recovery for $1800 of phones, instead he's going to fake it like a reality show with friends / hired actors. He should've disclosed the fact because that would show integrity. He comes off like a smarmy guy that you can't trust, so it's not a huge suprise either.

Interesting, I never knew there was a conference series on "Unconventional Computing"[1] until just now.

Sadly they publish their proceedings through Springer, instead of PMLR. That said, at least some of the older proceedings can be found using the usual pirate sites if one is so inclined.

If you want to give it a try, my recommendation is to start with the Pillars of Eternity series. It's a modern game, but it's made by some of the people who made some of the best classic CRPGs, and it's done very much in their spirit. And I don't mean just the gameplay, but also e.g. graphics and style - the game uses hand-drawn backgrounds, just as Baldur's Gate did, but at much higher resolution, and with a 3D mesh underneath to apply lighting effects.
Antennagate was specifically about holding the phone in a certain way that caused poor reception - that’s what I am saying was overblown.

The fact that a newer phone gets better reception was not part of antenna gate.
Nothing new there - even in our industry, specifically computer data storage.

It's been forever since backup tape manufacturers started describing their tape capacity assuming constant 2:1 compression ratios - even though that's a bad assumption to make as compression ratios wary wildly based on the original data. I think this started happening in the mid-1990s when tape drives had built-in hardware compression to save the host CPU from doing it in software?

And of course, the canonical example of HDD vendors using "megabyte == 1000 kilobytes".

Of course this results in a Nash equilibrium because vendors can't risk being honest if everyone else is dishonest/misleading because there's simply too many ignorant purchasers in the market - which is the exact same problem JC Penny had.

At least AT&T is using "5Ge" instead of "5G" unlike they did with HSPA+ and "4G", and I'm okay with that, provided consumers won't think that "5Ge" stands for "Enhanced" instead of "Ersatz".
Not just glitter bomb.. fart spray too.
Speaking of which, there's an "enhanced edition" of P:T now, that's also available on mobile devices.

Regulations are laws where the details were left to the bureaucrats by the politicians who drafted the laws - it allows for implementation flexibility.

But they are still backed by actual laws, and are not lessened by being regulations - if anything they are better because you can always apply to the implementing authority to change things without going the whole parliamentary route.

There's a downside in less well developed countries without a tradition of a non-political civil service (like the US) where an incoming politician installs their political flunkies can change the regulations to suit their donors

There is a much, much easier explanation for the obscene valuation:

All and every big Chinese company seeks to exfiltrate cash out of the country no mater what the justification is.

That way you have China Rail buying Canadian casinos, tech companies buying American pig farms, and a farming cooperative buying Dutch semiconductor fab equipment maker.

I will not be surprised that Tencent will dump them upon first opportunity. I am almost certain that all other players on board the deal are there just to provide the justification and legal cover for otherwise nonsensical deal.
The issue was never that it was unusable if you were touching it anywhere. The iPhone 4 was my first iPhone. I used it for a year - before I was force to upgrade when I switched to Verizon (corporate discount) but my son used it when we switched back from Verizon and two years later, neither of us had a problem.

Besides the one specific case if you held the phone a certain way which was a universal problem, all cellphone reception varies from area to area.
What the thermodynamic principle says you can't do is to take Q units of heat energy from one body and transfer it all to a higher temperature body.

The solar panel system is different - it's a heat engine that takes Q units of heat energy from one body, transfers a portion of it Q₁ to a higher temperature body and transfers the remainder of it (Q - Q₁) to a lower temperature body (the immediate surroundings). That's OK with thermodynamics, subject to upper bounds on the ratio Q₁/Q that depend on the absolute temperatures of the bodies involved.

This suffices to show that the perfect lens system can't work. The dusty lens system can't work because adding dust to a perfect lens doesn't turn it into a heat engine.
That doesn't just look like a scam. That is a scam. You can't just go collecting for causes without being empowered to do so. It's the same as people that go door to door collecting money for some charity when they are actually just going to spend it on their own stuff.

I'd be more bearish on the stores of Origin, Epic, Ubisoft. Building a user base has to be done bottom up. Companies in general cannot do that because their approach is a forced top down one, pushed by marketing and sales.

I think it's fair to believe that Discord can be one of two stores together with Steam. Other publishers are likely to fail.
Read the terms of service. That's intentional.

Not yet, though I'm keeping my eye on WASM and will pursue it if the need arises. The sort of work I do has relatively little overhead from the JS, and is mostly bottlenecked by rendering (SVG, mostly). WASM wouldn't help my load/parse times since I rarely ship more than a few Kb of JS, and it wouldn't help my per-frame times or latency because I'm usually done the JS part of the frame in around 1ms.

My high school friends and I used it up until we switch to Discord last year (so ~2013-2017). We all had Mumble and TeamSpeak installed for when we needed it, but all through high school we had a Skype group chat that we always used. It was a admittedly a bit of a hog, but it was free, looked nicer, and had a few more useful features then Mumble or Teamspeak.
I think it's Frontier: First Encounter, which is a 1995 game that's the precursor to E:D in the Elite series.

I don't see how E:D is inferior to it, but YMMV.
Just idle curiosity, but I'd be curious to see BitWarden's commit on GitHub:

Discord isn't just for gamers. Though that's where it started, its robust community management features have made it's a go-to for online creators looking to engage with their audiences.

It's especially prominent among Youtubers, and is increasingly becoming seen in some circles as a safer alternative to public forums like Reddit for topical discourse. This is, in my opinion because there's no formal discoverability mechanism, and the invite feature lets server admins make their communities as inclusive, or exclusive as they want them to be.

Discord has a lot of appeal outside of its target audience, and its growth in other areas is largely automatic since a lot of subcultures online exist in parallel or close proximity to hardcore gaming demographics.

That's where I see its future being the brightest, so long as the service doesn't get too cluttered with unnecessary 'community' features.
We play on the sea. When the weather is a bit grim you can see big clumps of misty rain come in on the wind. They look voluminous and heavy. But you get to be inside them. All swirly and wet.
You do you, I tried to make a simple list on PyQt and everything went wrong, a lot of signal issues, a lot of debugging compile issues, missing dependencies, wronly versioned dependencies despite downloading QT straigt from the site, never again going away from CSS and JS. And with flexbox and SASS is a pleasure to write CSS anyways.
What's the motivation to lie? If service is claimed to be better than it is, then all that does is set expectations higher at times when service is weak thus increasing dissatisfaction and likelihood to jump ship.

Signal/network quality is what it is, signal bars are just there to set expectations for the user. Lying with them seems like a fool's errand.
There is no justification for choosing to have a poor economy be normal. This "normal" is a choice, and a bad one at that.

The low interest rates of the past decade are proper.
From the perspective of voters, the current system is also terrible, as districts are deliberately being designed so that one party cannot win them, despite that party having a majority across the whole state.

I would hope that the majority of voters would see that they are getting better (proportional) representation under this system (even if that representation wouldn't always be as local as it would be for the lucky few districts that aren't gerrymandered into irrelevance in the current system).

In any case, by changing the game theory (removing any incentive to gerrymander districts), my expectation is that in practice no results would get flipped, so no one would experience any bad effect attributed to this system.
I don't think it's accurate to say it's mostly Red Hat, they are a sponsor and sometimes contributor but most of the work still seems to come out of the Intel and Hyper.sh folks who co-founded the project out of Clear Containers and runV.
As an alternate view, what's to stop Discord from adding integrations down the road and competing head on head with Slack?

It strikes me that it is easier for Discord to move into Slack's space than vice versa.
Yeah, it's totally fair and correct to say that slack doesn't do anything more complicated than an IRC client did in 1995.

Try using the global search feature on Slack and tell me how that already existed in IRC circa 1995.

The best part of NWN was the ability to run your own custom servers online, with custom worlds. Sine the game had a fairly powerful (for its time) scripting system, and an easy to use editor, at its peak there were many thematic persistent worlds - various D&D universes, Middle Earth etc.

It was also very different from modern MMORPGs, since it wasn't massively multiplayer - you had at most 64 players per server, and it also provided for DMs. Thus, you could do the usual MMORPG-type XP grind, or you could participate in DM-managed adventures in parties. Most people did both. Of course, the game engine limits what you can do compared to a true tabletop RPG, but there's still plenty a creative DM can do. And even a simple dungeon raid can have a lot of unexpected twists and turns with a DM.

I recall there were some community-driven things to encourage roleplay, too. E.g. on some servers, all regular players would get an XP reward quota, that they could dole out to other players' characters for good RP interactions.
> but if they want to call it 6G or 7G I don't really care,

As someone who never buys phones from their carrier, I _do_ actually care. Accurate labeling of your standards is a requirement in this marketplace, I feel.

> AT&T says these changes to the LTE network are being calling "5Ge":

Which is, to me, intentionally dishonest. It's 4G+, if anything.
> It’s a single statute that requires single member districts. It wouldn’t be difficult to change.

Yes, it would, politically. The reason it exists will produce vet strong resistance to a straight repeal, and any replacement with an alternate approach to preventing the original problem while allowing multimember districts will, in addition to resistance from those in Congress whose opposition is driven by opposing undermining the existing dominant parties, resistance around the details of any alternative scheme (which will have predictable winners and losers.)
No, you don't understand. They didn't explicitly use the word "promise" so it can't be a promise.

At least, that's how parent commenter thinks the world works.
> My impression is that Brave's current model actively hurts small creators that would otherwise get some of that money sooner on the donation services they have signed up for, without waiting for Brave's $100 withdrawal threshold to be reached, if it ever does.

FWIW, you can create an account manually and withdraw with << $100 in your account. $100 is just the limit for them to notify you.
> Building a user base has to be done bottom up.

Stores have nothing to do with "user bases." You just want people to buy stuff. As a publisher, you have all the leverage when it comes to pricing arbitrage. You can sell game X on your platform for $45 and sell the same license to Discord for $50. The consumer doesn't care where they buy it from, as long as it's cheaper. Obviously, they're incentivized to buy it on your platform.

I'm not saying that platform size doesn't matter, but funneling resources for a win there would be a Pyrrhic victory. Steam won that battle a long time ago.
The ROC persisted under the premise that they were the temporarily dispossessed but still legitimate government of all of China. They're not, and they haven't been for decades, but they can't take the next logical step of reconstituting a Republic of Taiwan because PRC has threatened war in that scenario. America has a legal obligation to defend Taiwan, but PRC has threatened to use nuclear weapons to respond to any US intervention--"In the end you care more about Los Angeles than you do about Taipei".

There's a clear long-term goal of destabilizing ROC and encouraging unification from the PRC side.
There are a number of humorous things as Daffy Duck would say, "I can only do this trick once."

Less work would not solve the problem for me. I enjoy solving problems and creating tools. I like it so much I do it outside of work and possibly inside when I have nothing else to do.

What I find stressful is stupid people. This really burns me out. I can understand a lack of experience and mistakes in code. We are always learning and in need of mentorship.

What I can’t stand are cowardly people who aren’t learning. These are people who refuse to write original code to save their lives, or their careers. It seems common to avoid code by hoping some Maven or NPM package will easily do your job for you. These are the people who need multiple frameworks and 10mb of dependency code for what could be accomplished in about 12 lines of original code. It’s a hatred of craftsmanship. These people make me hate coding and life in general.
Please god don't say that. M$'s acquisition of Skype is a lot of the reason we use Discord now.
> You can't solve the problem instance yourself, so you don't know how close it is to the optimum.

This is wrong.

"the decision version of the TSP (where, given a length L, the task is to decide whether the graph has any tour shorter than L) belongs to the class of NP-complete problems." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem)

If amoeba gives me a proposed solution to the TSP, I can easily check if said amoeba is right or wrong. You are right that I don't know how close it is but I know if it's right or wrong. And this should be enough because we already have close-enough approximations of the TSP.

Also your definition of NP-hard is wrong: you're right that it is "at least as hard as any NP problem" but the conjunction of this with "its solutions can't be verified in polynomial time" is false, because the definition of a NP problem is that its solutions can be verified in polynomial time.

Also, this is not interesting because problem instance is small is not always a good argument. An implementation of a quantum algorithm factoring 15 into 5 and 3 is interesting, even though it is trivial.

Sort of. I agree with you that Origin, UPlay and the like have a huge advantage because they actually publish games.

But popular storefronts like Steam do have a clause that if you sell it on Steam you can't sell it for cheaper elsewhere.

Obviously a new storefront like Discord may not have that kind of power. But who knows.
