Earth would have the same temperature extremes without the atmosphere to moderate them. Artificial satellites also have to deal with this; there are hundreds of degrees variation when the satellite is in sunlight vs the Earth's shadow. And even between the shadow side of the satellite itself vs the sunlit side.
My Twitter is full of academics with students and collaborators from all over the world that are complaining that Slack just eliminated their ability for them to communicate over the service. I'm not sure how many of them were free or paid though.
Isn't there some value in being able to bench accoustic models in isolation, no matter how weak they may be, without downstream language models?
I'd want at least $20. To get it, I'd first have to create a Facebook account, which feels kind of icky - hence the $20.
It is a truism: no matter how many times this is explained, some engineer will come up with a complicated system that violates the laws of thermodynamics and refuse to admit that their idea is extremely unlikely. The laws of thermo are some of the best understood and most well-supported physical systems that humans have yet invented. Every time somebody comes up with a perpetual motion machine, it gets shot down because the person who invented it literally ignored all the really well-understood math and physical theory in thermo.

it's like there's a brain bug where engineers think they can outsmart 200+ years of scientific progress with a clever arrangement of mirrors.
"I intend to port to at least C++ so that it can be more easily integrated into real systems" - disregarding the implication that C++ is a more "real" system than Javascript what steps are necessary to make the numerical methods that are not perfect and if pushed hard will sometimes get a slightly wrong answer along with addressing not being able to make multiple subpaths required to draw font shapes?
Genuine question - how does China fit into this narrative?
They're all trying to present the same information. Just as every video site looks like Youtube with video thumbnails, titles, search, comments, etc, it's just the best way we have to display some styles of information. Github seems to be doing just fine, self-hosted software rarely takes much market share from the giants.
Unlike slack, discord actually has a functional UI. I can see discord getting into slack's domain more easily than slack entering into discord's
Do you have an Android app?
Bazel encourages you to list geographically diverse sources to download from for workspace setup. That said, you could run a local proxy with something like Squid or Varnish, turn on caching in a remote build server, or set up a mono-repo and never use npm (as Google does), each has advantages and tradeoffs... you could also archive and backup your Bazel folders to hermetically reproduce workspaces and builds if patching is necessary, though you’d have to also archive a copy of your host or build environment if you’re paranoid about host tools or configurations changing.
This is very interesting!

I'm mostly familiar with b-splines and NURBS and such, and there's some behaviour in this demo that I don't understand. If I create a round control point, and spin that point's handles around, sometimes the curve coming in and out of the point is a beautifully smooth tangent, coming in one side and out the other, and sometimes it forms a spike, doubling back on itself. Is there a term for that? Why does it happen? I find it fascinating and would like to learn more.
No u2f support? :(
You are getting the dates badly wrong. Voting rights act was 1965, opposition to the war was limited until Tet Offensive.
Thank you for taking the time to read it!
And perhaps, additionally, someone might have suggestions for a high quality open source alternative? Riot/Matrix don't seem to be there quite yet.
Room-temperature cycling of metal fluoride electrodes: Liquid electrolytes
Nope because the user encrypts them using their own secret. No access to historical emails but possible to backdoor the JS later on.
I’ve had no problem running 10+ containers while running Slack, Chrome, and a few other Electron based apps simultaneously and have never really had problems except for the heat it generates.

If a dev is working on a less capable machine I guess I can see why this is a problem, but a rather simple one to solve, close Slack, it’s a distraction to focused work anyways :)
Apple is still selling them in Germany, the article looks like it's final, but it's not.
We're making the same point. Most people regardless of background don't have access to private school, let alone private school financial aid scholarships. Mentioning my upbringing was to emphasize how narrow my worldview was, including but not limited to schooling options.
If the universe is a simulation, isn't the programmer effectively God?

And: "Likely"? Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.
It's not, Qualcomm is suing Apple because Apple dropped them. They have nothing to lose now.
I tweaked the language, thanks for pointing that out. Obviously JavaScript is capable of very real systems and many of the potential applications of this work. Regarding the timeline, I'm hoping soon, but it's going to depend on where I want to take this codebase; I still haven't really decided, and it will depend in large part on what kind of interest I see. The multiple subpaths question is of course not a problem with the spline itself but whether the test app has a sophisticated enough document model to manage multiple path objects.
Can you sue? Sure. Can you win? Maybe. It might depend on how bad the damage is.
I don't know what bar you're using for "mainstream", but if it doesn't include videogames in the late 80's/early 90's, it's too high. If being more popular than any other single toy short of a ball isn't mainstream, nothing is. Sure, they're even more popular now, and they may be more popular still in some areas of the world, but that doesn't make them not mainstream 25 years ago.

as reference, according to wiktionary, mainstream is Used or accepted broadly rather than by small portions of a population or market. I think that definition can encompass 40,000,000 households owning consoles.
What do you think would go awry, if we suddenly abandoned machine learning for advertising?
Modular.im is their hosted product. Much cheaper than slack as well.
Unless they need to read the content of messages for advertising
I suppose the difference in our worldview depends on whether we think the last 70 or so years of world history is the one that will stick, and we can safely ignore history up until that point.
I always enjoy reading about build systems. I wish there was a run-down on how internal global build systems work across large companies (eg. Brazil vs. Blaze/Bazel vs. Pants vs. etc etc)
Would be interested in your explanation of China.
Unrelated to typescript. I use bazel for about 1 year, and super happy about it. Builds are really fast and reproducible.
What about vk.com, plus google ?
He skips the bit about how to set up the successful business - that’s an assumed prerequisite - but goes into a lot of detail about reducing the hours.
Gitea has diverged considerably, at least in feature coverage.
IANAL, but the legal standard is often "enough effort to show you tried, but it doesn't have to be perfect."

Which is usually taken as, "enough to inconvenience unintended targets, even if intended targets can easily avoid the punishment."
Which only shows how ahead of its time it was. Modern games love to fill your time with tedious resource grinds that can only be made tolerable by having the wiki open while you play.
Though you have a very solid lower bound number from the database. It is just important to understand what that number is.
Where are the pre-trained models? It's worthless without them.

You can block users now? At megacorp we definitely couldn't, and as much as there were people I wanted to block and mandatory channels I didn't want to be in… all of the frigging the bots were the most unbearable.
Why Armenia is the country of the year?
Just to clarify, a content creator just needs to register with Brave once and all further contact will go through whichever channel they choose.

I suppose the presumption is, once (if) Brave reaches critical mass, or gets enough press, there won't be a monetizing content creator on the web who isn't aware of it.

My apologies if you know this already. It's just that the "whois" email is not really telling the full story. Unfortunately, this is the best (only?) option they've got to try and contact the creator at this point.
Fuck it if you want to live this way go for it.

Lots of people sayimg you won’t grow etc. in this thread, but does that mean we have to be in a rat race, compete and screw up the planet just to be “normal”.

So Good luck, hope you find a way to make it work. If it was me I’d start I. thailand where you can have meals take away for $2 and that takes away the cooking and needing a kitchen etc. live somewhere cheap. I’d go for Phuket to avoid the city life.
It’s not about heating the furnaces. Coking coal is an ingredient in steel production with iron.
That was my point. Unless the apology is of the type "it accidentally got deployed before we had the opportunity to test the change and communicate to users..." then they shouldn't have done it to begin with.
Am surprised as well, its so easy to spot for those traits in an interview - apply some pressure or ask some pointed questions. I've weeded out those folk as an interviewer.My feeling is that the Bay Area has a huge tech engineer shortage and companies throwing absurd amounts of money/benefits has bred a culture of entitlement.
It's likely it could be reworked to not make those spikes. The reason it happens is tricky. The basic curve family (what you get when you don't add explicit tangents) has a π-periodicity in the angles. Essentially it cares about the slope of the tangent but not the signed direction, and reverses the sign as needed. The curvature blending uses the same family but the sign reversals don't always "make sense" in terms of producing a smooth result. It's not obvious it would be better, as what you'd get would be more "twisty," and it's also possible the twistiness would snap as you rotated the handles. So making a direction reversal might be one of the less visually objectionable ways to handle the problem.

This is one of those "deep UX" questions I find fascinating.
Probably positively. I brought up DeepSpeech in a docker container the other day, it couldn't understand me at all, using Mozilla's pre-trained model. _Some_ words were right, but the output did not make sense.
I'm puzzled. Does that mean nobody uses Windows in those countries? Same for Google/FB?
I'd be very interested to know the route you are taking to get to/from NYC then.

From my cursory understanding of TCN, it always outputs sequence of the same length as the input. If that is true, then its usage is severely limited compared to recurrent networks.

Please point to more substantive sources if I am wrong. I am very interested to make TCN work, as it is much faster.

Speaking mostly about my experience with Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, but my impression is it's pretty similar for the other games:

The early EE release was a bit buggy. When you're just re-releasing an old game and charging $20+ for it, if it ends up buggier than the original, it tends to attract the "what are you good for?" sentiment.

But

1. They've ironed out the bugs over the years

2. There's loads of nice interface improvements that makes it a much more polished experience.

3. The new content they add tends to be a notch or two below the original game, but I still find it pretty enjoyable and well above the quality of most fan mods. And the new content isn't intrusive; you can ignore it if you want.

4. Obviously, it's much more convenient than trying to figure out how to install the original from CDRom, and it's nice that I can play it on Mac or on a tablet these days.

5. The modding community has entirely embraced EE and has for years. I was afraid that I would be unable to install some of my favorite mods when I tried the EE version, but it's actually much easier. If you try to go non-EE, then you're probably going to have more problems with installing stuff nobody has paid attention to in 8 years.
PurpleAir received a lot of notoriety during the California fires last month after the official AIRNow site (https://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.local_city&cityid...) crashed from the traffic.

The AQIs given by default are higher than what's reported on the AIRNow; you'll have to apply a conversion in the bottom-left to get something closer.
So you are saying we are never allowed to make mistakes?

Sold some stocks at about 3x ipo price after holding for a year. They were from a job so didn’t really choose these stock. Just dumb luck.
it pre-dates that book; ancient Rome had their panem et circenses
To add to this: Skyrim sold 30 million copies. That's more than all but 7 music albums ever made.

Wii Sports (12 years old) sold 80 million copies. That's more than any album ever.

Individual videogames regularly sell more than MUSIC and have done so for well over a decade.

I don't know what definition of mainstream there is where something sells 80 million copies and still isn't mainstream.
Do you consider yourself to be good at note taking?

> Consider finding a few episodes of Car Talk, My Favorite Murder, or another podcast with at least 2 people talking back and forth, putting it at 1.1x speed, and taking notes on that.

This is an interesting idea. I think I'll try it!

Do you recommend this as a way to get better at note taking or a way to assess your ability to take notes?

I find that the hardest part of taking useful notes is identifying and organizing the key ideas that will need to be referenced later; writing down everything that's said in the order it was said seems to be of less value in a lot of cases.

How would you assess the quality of notes taken with this exercise?
Sorry, I was unclear. You can't block people on either the free or paid plans, because you're supposed to ask your HR department to ask people to behave, and if you don't have an HR department you're 100% not their target audience. I've complained about this to Slack multiple times before, see their responses about how as a tool built for work they can't implement a block feature: https://twitter.com/geofft/status/767857284827475968 https://twitter.com/geofft/status/770000987016818688 https://twitter.com/geofft/status/818517767607517184 https://twitter.com/geofft/status/1017193464415576065
The cynical among us have noted a correlation between #1 and #2. Even when marketing doesn't say anything strictly untrue, it makes statements that make you think of untrue things.
What I'd really like for my own use is an NC-for-20-years style license, where after a given term the work becomes de facto public domain.
It is a truism: no matter how many times this is explained

What exactly is the "this" that you refer to? I don't think the issue is that the "engineers" disagree with the physical principles, rather they tend to disagree that the physical principles apply in quite the way that the author claims. Many of the engineers probably believe is that Munroe is correct in claiming that on cannot start a fire with a low temperature blackbody radiation source regardless of the size of one's magnifying glass, but disagree that it is reasonable to consider sunlight reflected by the moon as fitting this model.

Presumably, you agree that it's possible to start a fire using a magnifying glass using sunlight on earth. I'd guess you also believe that it's possible reflect the light from small handheld mirror into the magnifying glass, and still start a match, even though the mirror is much lower than the temperature of the sun? While the specular reflection from the mirror is different than the diffuse reflection from the moon, one might note that the words "specular" and "diffuse" don't appear in Munroe's exposition. Would you agree that Munroe's argument would appear to prohibit this behavior?

Now assume that the moon was replaced by an equally sized parabolic mirror aimed to be focused on the earth. Would it be possible to light a match using this light if one's magnifying glass was large enough? Which thermodynamical principle am I violating in thinking that it might be possible? And which part of Munroe's argument do I invalidate by making these modifications? Again, my point isn't that Munroe's conclusion is wrong, just that there might be something flawed about the argument he uses to reach that conclusion. This might be a "brain bug", but from the inside it just feels like an attempt to understand truth.
I remember something similar happening back in the days with totally unrelated tech:

- MP3: Can play audio. Marketing and tech play nice together.

- MP4: Can play video. Marketing and tech play nice together

- MP5: Wait what? Marketing needs "next" iterarion, it doesn't make any sense. It's just MP4 with some random silly feature (depending on the company).
All of those were a pain in the ass for one reason or another, Discord caught on like wildfire because it was a huge step up from what existed. Pretty much a combination of the best parts of IRC + Teamspeak + Skype.

You don't think Discord has any lockin? For a lot of games, coordinating voice chat these days is "paste a discord server invite in chat". Pretty much any guild/clan/subreddit/group/whatever has a Discord (apart from ones with really old TS servers etc), so if you're in one of those, you probably have Discord. Much easier than negotiating Skype/Mumble/TS3.

I'd say Valve/Steam is feeling a lot more pressure these days than Discord.

I'm not sure Discord will ever be a hugely valuable company, but judging by the fact that every launcher in existence (Steam, Battle.net) is trying to clone their features, I'm sure they can at least sell it for quite a bit.

I was really expecting them to push out of the gaming niche, but with the store it looks like they're doubling down on that angle.
Being involuntarily prevented from using a service is rather the opposite of boycotting, I think. (In the sense that boycotts are a tool of applying economic pressure to convince someone to change their mind, and if you're being kicked off you aren't actually able to exert any pressure.)
So, it is possible to backdoor the JS lateron, but it is impossible to use that for accessing the emails? Could you explain how that works?
Why would Amazon put that much effort into this? Amazon doesn't particularly have much of a marketshare in videogame sales, unlike say Google Play, Steam and others.

Smells like a me too offering from Amazon...
All the same, it's good they took responsibility when they did. I don't use Slack at work at present, but being an emigrant worker myself (not iranian, but honestly it shouldn't really matter), the past week's events left enough of an impression on me that I would have likely strongly protested any attempts in my organization at getting a slack channel going. This response is at least well-written enough that it gives me pause, that I should research the company's track record more carefully before jumping to judgment. (they're still on thin ice as far as I'm concerned, but it's a step in the right direction)
Test-Driven Development with '( Test && Commit ) || TestCodeOnly || Revert'
ITU’s “performance specifications” mean nothing. They’re aspirational targets. (ITU publishes a lot of real standards, but the value of saying how fast “4G” should be, while 3GPP develops the actual technology, is thin.) Imagine if ITU published standards for how fast different “generations” of CPUs have to be. Would anyone care? Would they lambast Intel for releasing “Ninth Generation Core” chips that are warmed over Skylale?
A lot of people pass interviews. Which still doesn't mean anything because the interviews rarely have anything to do with the job.
Definitely not all US carriers, my 1st-gen Pixel on T-Mobile displays "H+".
Makes sense. Personally, I like it, though it does make the curve slightly less predictable.

Some thoughts about learning
Glad to help.

They key thing I realized after I wrote my last comment is that you've (probably) been thinking in terms of an object cache. Your comments make a lot of sense if the cache is something like a key/value store that you shove an address and an object into. If you can't fit the string in the cache, it won't be in the cache at all. If you want to access a character in the string, you need to access the string first (pull it from the cache) and then access the character you want.

CPU caches don't map very well to that model. CPU caches make a lot more sense if you think about the system memory as one enormous array of contiguous bytes. The CPU doesn't know anything about objects. It just knows about different-sized chunks of bytes (pages, cache lines) that it can read from the array (system memory). The cache doesn't hold objects (and cannot, because the CPU has no concept of an object). The cache just holds a bit of memory pulled from the array. The benefits of CPU caches come from recency (you'll probably touch the same memory again very soon) and data locality (the CPU will already read in an entire chunk, which is awesome if you're going to touch nearby memory). Your strings are embedded in this enormous array. The "chunking" behavior means that adjacent strings will be loaded together if they're short enough. The shorter, the better, as observed here.

From a quick look, this appears to be one of the better explanations of CPU caches online:
