A similar idea, yes. Details may be a bit different.
Is it just me or is "After a promising start, iOS 12.1.2 is going from bad to worse for iPhone owners" kind of a hilariously bad lede?
I'm sticking with iOS 10.3.
Yeah. Frequency is higher, but not sure if you can overclock it. The biggest problem I saw on these EPYC chips (potentially) is that the PCIe lanes spread across 4 dies. So the performance of data going through host would be interesting to observe. This is a setup with some risks, so would like to hear more from the crowd the feasibility.
They could realistically prevent calls to open popups in response to a mouseover event too. It really ought to only be allowed on “affirmative” interactions like a click. Of course, they can just make the close icon do something else.
Polished my Golang skills and Python skills.
Studied the Deep Learning Book Theory and toy examples with Keras and Torch.
Some good ol C by implementing linear solvers.
Understood the inner workings of bitcoin and started working on a better version of it. Most of all the month I spent pouring on Homomorphic Encryption literature was very useful.
I also went trough some cryptography books (math from Koblitz book and Serious Cryptography).
2018 was less of a tech year for me as I spent more time doing mathematics (love it) and reading various books about (cognitive science, evolutionary theory and math textbooks)

For 2019 since I'll be graduating I think I'll spend more time on mathematics, reinforcement Learning and OCaml which I was postponing this whole year. And of course Rust.
Why Information Grows - Cesar Hidalgo (https://books.google.com/books?id=J88_CQAAQBAJ)
Best book I've read in recent memory. Changed my understanding of the world and (maybe) our place in it.

The Information - James Gleick (https://books.google.com/books?id=7ztdygAACAAJ)
All developers having anything to do with data should read this or at least be familiar with the concepts it covers.

Chaos - James Gleick (https://books.google.com/books?id=OoLNzl4XpPUC)
A good follow-up to "The Information"

Scale - Geoffrey West (https://books.google.com/books?id=bJPZDAAAQBAJ)
Covers the kind of fundamentals of science everyone should understand.

Life 3.0 - Max Tegmark (https://books.google.com/books?id=2hIcDgAAQBAJ)
The Master Algorithm - Pedro Domingos (https://books.google.com/books?id=CPgqCgAAQBAJ)
These two go nicely together

The Death of Expertise - Thomas M. Nichols (https://books.google.com/books?id=x3TYDQAAQBAJ)
Maybe the thing that brings about the downfall of society as we know it

Fantasyland - Kurt Andersen (https://books.google.com/books?id=aaX4DAAAQBAJ)
A fun, engaging American history - whether the theory behind it is accurate or not, it is still enlightening.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley (https://books.google.com/books?id=niDNtZoYsAUC)
A painful re-reading but hard not to conclude that Huxley had it way more directionally right than Orwell or any other future fiction authors.

Amusing Ourselves to Death - Neil Postman (https://books.google.com/books?id=oup6iagfox8C)
Though largely about media in the 80's, it is even more relevant today.

Too easy to pick on big tech this year but that doesn't mean most of this book isn't on the nose.
Innovation? Other nations (like Sweden) have had its data public for many decades now.
Wow, hello! I worked in the UK on a short-lived product called SoftInstall.net which did something similar for .NET applications. We had our own file system and registry emulation layers, all inspired by Microsoft Research’s “Detours” paper. I remember being impressed with Thinstall at the time.

>Making public data open by default can arguable be an imporant step towards fostering societal equity

I think this was one of my biggest shocks doing work for the government, collecting public data, payed by tax funded grants. Public data isn't for the public.

We went into this project with all these starry eyed dreams of making a public online database and freely posting everything we collected, with maps and interactive tools, status reports. It was part of our grant proposal.

Then reality came and we found out public data meant a government password protected database with access fees where our data would be available to people willing to pay for it or we'd lose our funding. The data were for companies or individuals willing to pay the government not for the public.

This still doesn't sit well with me nearly 6 years later. That was never what we wanted out of that project and it wasn't what was planned or accepted when we wrote our proposal.

I've been translating idioms across languages. I've been expanding my vocabulary from APL, exploring meta-programming in Racket, and structuring programs in Rust. APL presents a distilled description of algorithms with a larger vocabulary of primitive operations which encourage a greater variety of approaches in problem solutions. I've been exploring Racket as a Lisp and reading On Lisp for what is uniquely implementable through meta-programming. I've worked through a dozen exercises on exercism on Rust, and I think that I have a lot I could learn from structuring programs around the borrow checker, but I expect that I will not have an opportunity to use the language directly at work.

Most of my learning has been around the architecture of distributed file systems and distributed object stores. It's given me very useful perspective to have a context for comparing different solutions to each other and how they relate.

I've learned more about awk, tr, and join to aggregate or process GBs of tables structures as text.

I've also been trying emacs and evil for an integrated, programmable ecosystem with familiar ways of editing text.

DSLs are just embedded languages, if they suck it's due to the DSL or the expressiveness of the language used to create it.

Ktor, it's working really well, only downside is limited openAPI/swagger support, i.e. Schema first or code first code/schema generation.
I have no idea what made them who they are nor how they interact irl. I know that I always kept away from guys who talk and behave like those on forums, because I see that as red flag for potentially being hit or being insulted in argument or otherwise not being respected. Largely because that is how they they treat and talk abou other people in their lives. Ultimately, in the long term, girlfriend is going to be treated the same.

What I am saying here is that my safety and self respect beats his need to have girlfriend.

I was not trying to give advice here. I can't and abatract general advice is likely to not fit all that many people even if good.

Girlfriend won't and can't fix mental health issue, can't fix alienation nor cultural disconnect. She just can't, the same way boyfriend won't fox the above for a girl.
>"none of the videos have n-word in the title, are you making that up? did you read about how that channel is verified by youtube itself?"

One of them did, it has since been deleted by youtube. It probably slipped by people, including youtube moderation for years, because it was a deliberate misspelling of the word "reneging".

I'm not going to link it for obvious reasons, but if you're skeptical you can find it by searching for the guy's mirror channel on one of the more infamous "free speech youtube alternatives" where he's uploaded it again with a note about youtube deleting it. In all honesty, I think it's likely this anime review guy is masking genuine nazi propaganda behind an edgy humor. I think he's doing it in a way that in each instance he usually has plausible deniability, but when viewed as a whole a clear picture emerges. I think this is why many people including yourself, youtube moderation, and supposedly pewdiepie did not notice it on first viewing. Furthermore I think that it's uncharitable and morally wrong to accuse people who missed it of having character defects, so please don't think that I'm impugning your character by disagreeing with you.
Given that the finder of a new prime gets a $3000 award, can someone do the math and see if running Prime95 is actually better than playing the lottery?
I haven’t used it but Wireshark has had USBpcap for a while. Maybe it meets your needs?
Most of the upgrades to the civilian bands are for faster first fixes and making it so a fix is consistently more accurate. Also the ionosphere can be directly measured by your gps receiver, so fixes will be more accurate.

They are doing this because many civilian applications have emerged that need a more accurate signal (one is turn-by-turn navigation). When GPS was first developed, it was first envisioned as outputting coordinates and you looked up your location on a paper map, where 2m was better than most maps you could get.

The military is getting the ability to get a signal that is 100x more powerful in a small area.

It will be awhile before we see receivers using the new signal as the first of the new GPS sats launched today (some of the old ones are broadcasting the new signal, but not enough of them)
I really enjoy Scalzi, so I was surprised when I didn't know about the Interdependency series. The nice thing was by the time I finished Collapsing Empire the second book in the series was released (The Consuming Fire). I haven't started it yet, but it's next in the queue!
The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemison was a favorite. Intelligent, conflicted characters and such a superb interplay of geological science fiction.
The type system has to support the language features, there are tons or races, deadlocks etc due to go language features without a type system to express these features.
There is NO save on computation cost. CPU is slow for NN whatever language you are using.

OP has a point, if I want to learn PRACTICAL front end programming, I will choose javascript, not Python. Same for Neural networks, just switch the place.
The Annoying Site doesn't do anything if viewed without JavaScript --- showing that JS is responsible for the majority of annoyances. Unfortunately a lot of users are reluctant to use whitelist-based JS enabling, but IMHO it is extremely effective and well suited to those who mainly use the Internet as a hyperlinked document library.

(I discovered the effects of turning off JS a long time ago, and have been whitelisting since. It makes using the Internet much less irritating.)
I can attest, I've always sent very obscene messages but no one really made an issue out of it.

It's not clear to me that anyone really cares about Mersenne primes, either, which is not to detract from this cool result in any way.
If you want to do machine learning, those two ops are pretty much the foundation of how it works under the hood.

If you want to do coding in general, I like to say that you can have a career in code without being good at math. But, math is how great coders do what seems like magic to other coders.
There are enough coders on the job market, but the good / experienced ones are not cheap “enough” for the companies.

> gross

Can I ask what exactly is gross about it? I didn't read the article in full, but did skim through it for a few minutes, and it seems to me its only "crime" is not being politically correct by the modern standards of today. But I question whether or not that's truly a bad thing. Are journalists only allowed to write positively about immigrants and refugees or any other group that is considered "underprivileged", while hiding anything remotely negative?

It could be argued that that in itself is gross. Is that the standard of freedom of speech and freedom of the press that we should be striving for?

If you can upgrade, you should. iOS 12 is the best version in a long time.
The default reason for this makes sense: knowing how to find a way to meet people you want to meet is a crucial skill in any startup and if you don't have that skill you'll likely fail so why not use that as an initial criterion, essentially as the first stage of the pipeline? The usual response is that if this were bad, the market would take care of it (someone would start a firm that didn't use this method and would find all the cool startups missed by the others, and at a better valuation to boot). Of course this is applied in other situations, as you said, not just VC investment.

However there has been a market response. YC is the best known such, but other accelerator efforts such as techstars and university accelerators; angel aggregators and the like don't have similar qualification thresholds; those who pass through them have access to more traditional sources of capital.
So what studies have been done? You'd think something along the lines of finding people who had kids before and after a trauma?
The way HN talks about the macro-"economics" of dating and marriage skeeves me out. A very impersonal way of talking about a very human and personal topic.
Thanks a lot. It truly was an extraordinary ride. I hope to take the experience with me and apply it at other places.

It's quite telling when you aren't angry or resent being laid off from a job - the company was just THAT good but unfortunately is no more the same.
There should be, and it seems there was for a long time (and still is sometimes), but they’ve made similar basic missteps before, like that time the keyboard replaced a lower case “i” with “A [?]”. It is strange, and it feels almost like they have automated tests that pass on everything that they wrote tests for but some basic functions don’t have tests and so were missed. It feels like they need someone to manually try the updates before pushing them.
I'm not an expert, but it seems like this article might be blowing up a specific controversy into a general doubt about epigenetics. The stuff I've read talks about how during pregnancy, the mother transmits information about the environment to the fetus which causes epigenetic shifts. And this can compound generationally. The critical statements in this article appear to be specifically about epigenetic transmission via sperm, which I hadn't read about having strong evidence to back it up.
>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes".

I've always thought it weird that Firefox's about:config UI is not much better than editing a flat configuration file. Clearly there wasn't much effort put into it. Even IE's configuration is far better organised than that, grouping everything into hierarchical categories.

Two technologies that I've had an on and off attempt to learn for the last couple years finally clicked into place this year:

Ansible -- I converted my dotfiles install bash script to use Ansible and to also install all my terminal dependencies. Then I started expanding on it to include my entire development box and to provision a bunch of vagrant boxes of different Linux distros so I could test the waters with something other than Ubuntu.

Docker -- Work's been using this now for over a year, and I was a bit of a hold out on it since Docker just seemed like another layer that Ansible + Vagrant was doing a fine job of handling. Once I really dug into how the configurations worked together and set up some of my side projects to use it, it's usefulness started to come together for me.

Otherwise, I keep trying to learn Rust but don't have any projects in mind that would fit with it. I also keep playing with React on the side but haven't gotten very far in my understanding of that ecosystem.
Not everyone wants the same configuration, which is the whole reason for its existence in the first place.

I stuck to the classics. Kafka's Castle is absolutely brilliant. I read it greedily, just couldn't stop. It doesn't look magical at first sight but I could feel the atmosphere, the temperature, even smell.

Other than that Nabokov's Lolita is just celestial. And it's not only about the wording which is beyond beauty. Sometimes I caught myself thinking that this book reads me not the other way around. It's very precise, very unabashed, very intimate. Sometimes it looks surprisingly like your own reflection. Can't recommend enough.

I have a friend who works at a competitor and according to him PAX still owned a majority after the spinout. Although, I tried looking it up and Philip Morris just bought a 35% stake, so this may no longer be true.

> Juul's nicotine is the "big driver" of Juul's sales, not weed

I agree, just trying to clarify that (at least at one point) the company that owns Juul also sold weed vapes.
Shorter answer.

Yes since you have practical experience it can’t hurt. You’ll learn things that you didn’t already know and it will help you get your foot in the door slightly.

But, don’t become a “paper tiger” with a lot of certs and no practical experience. I’ve also come across people who have claimed that “they have use AWS” but when you dig deep they mean - they’ve hosted a few VMs and used AWS as nothing more than overpriced colo.
EU experts want to hear your opinion on how to create “trustworthy AI”
The “better explanations” are called epigenetics. Environmental factors can cause genes to be turned off or on and that in turn can be passed to children. So the environment doesn’t effect your DNA (Lamarckian evolution) but it can still cause your offspring to act differently.
Small steps :-)

Has Apple really not learned from the recent past? iCloud hacks, passwordless root login, Batterygate, the list of lacking QA and technical excellence goes on. Now this, and again with a total lack of good communication. I really wish the last hardware company with a track record in preserving privacy took some lessons from Google's SRE culture. A transparent, timely postmortem and a public apology would go a long way, but that just wouldn't be Apple. "We know what's best for our users", yeah...
>I think he means creepy on scale that Elliot Rogers was creepy.

The guy that many 'incels' used to lionize, before that constant glorification of violence became a bit too blatant and inconvenient for them. Judging from these sorts of discussions, many among them are not just socially isolated-- rather, they actively hate the people around them to an extent that it's hard to even begin to make sense of. It's a thoroughly nihilistic ("blackpill") attitude to life that sometimes has very, very bad consequences. I suppose that many "pro-masculine" guys might like Jordan Peterson these days, so it might be especially worthwhile to link this (relatively short!) video where he strongly cautions against the "blackpill" thought pattern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYua-3JmnT4

I've found that the Rust code that I've written is stylistically more similar to Haskell. However, while references in Rust are a distinct concept from references in C++, they both have a distinction between a pointer to an object and the value of an object.
What?? 40 seats is huge. The house popular vote is the biggest for any switch of power since we started counting.

Though I should say for the record when someone says “DNC” like this it usually means they learned what the DNC was from the Russia hacks, given the DCCC is mostly in charge of house races and has been increasingly sidelined by small dollar funding and independent PACs like Bloomberg’s.
I'd love to hear about the finance app!

Permutation City by Greg Egan - Hard sci-fi about what might happen if we could scan human minds in sufficient detail to simulate them in computers. Best treatment of this topic I've ever seen.

Diaspora by Greg Egan - Takes the idea much, much further. What might happen to humanity if virtualized "human" minds embodied in robots or not embodied at all became the two most common ways for people to be. Also, fascinating and surprisingly rigorous diversions into math and physics.
Look into MinHash.
Two thoughts:

1. Safepoints are kind of off-topic, because they're part of the interplay between a complex optimizing compiler and the garbage collector/runtime. Babel and its ilk are source-source compilers targeting a language that doesn't have manual memory management. To my mind, that makes things much simpler.

2. How long ago were you searching for safepoint info? I've collected several articles and talks relating to safepoints. I don't know of anything that discusses safepoints in a way that you could implement them from scratch just based on the discussion, but they're tied to a complex part of the runtime, so any example/tutorial code would probably be parochial to a particular VM.
