Huh? The screen on my X is noticeably better in so many ways from my prior generation iPhone.
I also find this somewhere between impressive and amazing. However...

...after watching the Dragon/ISS docking manoeuvre for quite a bit longer than I probably should have, I think I now understand this precision better. When we think of "flying" including flying in space, we automatically have an image of something that's a bit unstable, always being buffeted a little, because that's how all the flying we are familiar with is.

Actually seeing that docking manoeuvre, you get a feel for just how stable things are in space. When the Dragon is parked in its relative position (10m?) it is just there, rock solid, as if attached with steel beams. No, better, as if both parts are part of a single piece of granite. No quivering, nothing.

Of course this is intellectually clear/obvious, but seeing it in practice is something different.

> The problem is the growing population in the Chicago suburbs, getting more and more land paved, and thus worsening the stormwater problem.

No, the problem is that the drains from all that paved/overbuilt land end up in the sewers instead of being collected in rainwater tanks or sunk into the ground below the foundation.

How does this compare to CLRS? I am neck deep in reading CLRS..
The post this is a reply to was correct, and this is not. E.g. a simple counter example is finding the autocorrelation parameter in an AR(1) model for an economic time series. Under your suggested definition of MLE this can't be done, which is simply not the case.

In fact, not approaching the more general case is liable to confuse learners as they may think that independence assumption is somehow baked into MAP/MLE, which it is not.
Not saying that Tuur doesn't have the right to criticize. Saying that at the end this discussion has a strong academic side where you can formalize the problems involved, the adversarial attacks, and balance the solutions. Non academic fights on strongly academic topics, in general, cannot distill the signal from the noise.

I use my X in a pitch black room on the lowest brightness setting a lot. I never notice any flickering. All I notice is a vastly better quality screen compared with every other prior iPhone device.
RFCs cannot unwind the complexity on display here in this article, unless the Rust community would entertain a proposal for removing procedural macros entirely, which I assume is a non-starter.
That seems like a problem subject to heavy confirmation bias - e.g. people decide their relative is cognitively impaired and see any transient shortfall as being more evidence, rather than any number of other possible causes.

(Not that you can't necessarily see cognitive decline externally earlier than a diagnosis, just that it seems like it'd be hard to make a clinical argument about persistent decline versus several poor nights of sleep, for example.)
There are not many jobs out there for jacks of all trades. Pen testing and social engineering are not necessarily separate roles but you will not likely find a job that lets you both be a pen tester and work from a defensive standpoint.

I heard somebody say that as you age, you rely more on memory to infer the correct decision whereas when you are young, memories are few and decisions based either on gut feel or the current context.

I guess that means that older people are more likely to do something they have already done because it is familiar and will work rather than do something that might be newer/better/faster but which would only be deduced by more abstract analysis?
It simplifies our lives by absorbing complexity.

Thunderbolt 3 is 40 Gb/s of PCIe + DP — basically exposes your bus out through a Type C connector. USB theoretically tops out, as of last year, at half tha, though in practice you won’t see anything faster than USB 3.0 (if you’re lucky) which tops out at 625 MB/s, before all the USB protocol overhead.

TL;DR: USB drives are really really slow.
There was a specific case of a woman who realized, after her husband acquired a peculiar smell and was 6 years later diagnosed with Parkinson's, then everyone at a Parkinson's support group had that smell, that she could smell Parkinson's in people well before any clinical tests.

She went to researchers who tested her with sweat from 6 diagnosed patients and 6 controls - she identified the 6 diagnosed patients correctly, and one of the controls who was later diagnosed with it but had not been yet.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/12/18/woman-can-sme...

(Also, as a fascinating aside which probably isn't what the GP comment meant, _loss_ of sense of smell is one of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Why? Good question.)

>The root issue is that batteries degrade over time, for everyone, not just apple. iPhone’s did a good job hiding that away by degrading performance along with it.

Apple sacrificed battery capacity for size and weight. They built several generations of phone that had just barely enough capacity for a full day of use and could just barely deliver enough current for peak performance. Unlike their Android rivals, they failed to over-provision the battery to account for degradation over time.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 had a 3300mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S8 had a 3000mAh battery. The Huawei Mate 9 had a 4000mAh battery. The iPhone 8 has an 1800mAh battery. See the problem?

What 5G might solve is cell congestion. There are already places in central Edinburgh where I can have full "bars" and no bandwidth, because it's too heavily contended with the other thousand people in the same cell now that everyone has a phone that's polling all the time.

Re: the Apple news
I still can’t see how you would have a shared library for a C# gui and a Java server for example.
Your communication layer would obviously live in both repositories.
Even in case you are using the same language and you do have shared libraries then what is the problem?
The shared libraries would surely be shared with other projects so it makes sense to have them in a separate repository.

3) Google is committed to a monorepo to the point migrating away from it would be unpractical.

Truth is, ending up with a monorepo is _really easy_. It usually starts with something that doesn't even _feel_ like more than one project: backend code, frontend templates and some celery/whatever tasks, maybe some minor utility CLI tools. And this happens at the stage nobody wants to even _think_ about more than one git repository.

Once those are big enough, it's likely too late.

But hey, you can always claim _you wanted it that way_. My cats always look good while pulling that one.

The needs if miners set the maximum bitcoin transaction rate.

While I think it is important to consider arguments across the entire political spectrum, reading Jacobin takes effort. It promotes a fictional world view where a command and control society makes purely altruistic, utilitarian decisions to maximize economic and social equality. Good and evil are too quickly ascribed to actors without consideration of attribution error. There is too much black and white thinking..
At first I thought you were describing a 3-way mirror, then I looked into it, and that's a cleverly kinky idea.

That's a problem for the original developers as well, and is precisely why the difficulty bomb exists. It causes the original project to gradually stop working, forcing the users to migrate to newer code.
Any full stack change will be represented by one PR that changes from pre change to post change. Two repos would introduce a new possible state where one has the change applied and the other doesn't.

Sadder yet is I'm less concerned about Microsoft supporting Linux than I would be Google.

The State of Artificial Intelligence
That only really matters if your backend developers are a different team to your frontend developers where they'd want to be working concurrently. And even then, they could work in different branches and both teams merge into a development branch when finished.

The idealistic discussions for or against monorepos often overlook the most important detail: who's working on the code and how would you want them to version control it?

If it's separate projects with their own versioning then it makes sense to have them as separate repositories. If it's a single project but with individual components you'd want to version (eg because it's developed by different teams with different release timelines) then there you also have a situation where you'd want to version the code separately so once again there is a strong argument for separate repositories. However if it's one product with a single release schedule then splitting up the frontend from the backend can often be a completely unnecessary step if you're doing it purely for arbitrary reasons such as the languages being different. (I mean Git certainly doesn't care about that. A project might have Bash scripts, systemd service files, Python bootstrapping, code for an AOT compiled language (eg Rust, Go, C++, etc), YAML for Concourse, etc. They're all just text files required for testing and compiling so you wouldn't split all of those into dozens of separate repos).

> As for headphone jacks. I haven’t used wired headphones with my iPhone for over 5 years. Dropping the jack has literally had no impact on me whatsoever. In fact it’s one less hole to fill with pocket lint.

Your needs don't define the needs of everyone else in this world. It wouldn't be a controversial move if it didn't piss off a bunch of people, now would it? If the airpods/dongle works for you, great. That doesn't mean they don't piss off and inconvenience a large group of people because if they didn't, there wouldn't be the corresponding backlash.

> Before you go on a tirade of audiophile nonsense, I’ll remind you that most people listen to audio and video that is streamed over cellular data in a lossy format. All arguments are rendered moot. I am a content iPhone X user, so now you know of at least one.

In case you didn't know, audiophilia is actually a very expensive hobby so most people aren't audiophiles. Most people pissed off about the removal of the 3.5 mm jack are not audiophiles. It is the everyday people wanting to listen to their device through headphones that are inconvenienced by this move. Audiophiles listen to music on their desk with their $2k open-back headphones and $2k dac/amp stack. And when on the move, they use digital audio players to play lossless flac. Most people pissed off are not pissed off because of sound quality, they are pissed off because now they have to use a dongle to do something as basic as listening to their device privately.

Not to mention the fact that Apple/Google/HTC/etc claim that the reason why they removed 3.5 mm was to improve sound quality. In their opinion, 3.5 mm is archaic and is holding back the audio industry. This seems like a bullshit excuse, because you don't hear any audiophiles complaining about that, and they are the people would'd drop $2k for a 5% improvement in their dac. If they removed 3.5 mm because it's holding audio back, where are the improvements and benefits from using their latest hyped flashy "adaptive" audio technologies? Where are the white papers? If you ask anyone working in high fidelity sound, I don't think anyone would have suggested that this is what we needed.
an overview is enough but I have looked up on the internet and can't come up with anything on my own.

We are, sort of. We've added lithium to drinking water which has been linked to decrease in dementia.

People that suffer from bipolar disorder and are being treated with lithium seems rarely if ever to develop dementia, but the dosages are much much (1000 times, or so) higher than what we add to drinking water.

According to my doctor the primary issue with adding higher concentration of lithium (still, way below therapeutic levels for mental disorders) to drinking water is quacks that make a lot of noise when the topic comes up. They see it as adding mind altering chemicals to water, which couldn't be further from truth.

One of them is a friend of mine who is around 55 now, maybe 57. He's seen enough shit that he knows how design scalable, maintainable and well-documented software. He wrote this:

People are talking about 5G from a consumer perspective here, which is fine, but I'm pretty sure the real benefits will first be seen in industrial manufacturing and autonomous vehicles. Perhaps gaming as well. The latency is a big factor.

So yes, you can already watch netflix on your phone, but not every technological step forward is about your individual entertainment :)

For reference, just look at what Ericsson is doing: https://www.ericsson.com/en/5g/what-is-5g
The human body is incredibly complex, and most studies look at incredibly specific effects. "increases lifespan by x years" takes decades to measure, but "increases blood cholesterol by x" can be measured much faster. So in the interest of getting papers published in reasonable timeframes most studies take the latter approach.

Then comes media, sees "X causes blood cholesterol to rise, cholesterol is bad, so X is bad" which is a deeply flawed conclusion. Most things aren't universally bad (high blood pressure is bad, but if you raise your blood pressure through exercise that actually lowers blood pressure in the long run), and many negative effects are offset by positive effects not looked at in the study. I wouldn't read too much into anything that isn't a metastudy and took less than a decade to test.

I think the current consensus about red whine is somewhere along the lines of: red whine is good for you, the more you drink the more that effect is offset by negative effects of alcohol, but in the amounts that were always recommended (about 1 glass a day) it's not a huge factor.

But of course those are the harmless examples, there's also interference from industry groups interacting with the current publishing environment (see the whole "fat is bad for you" that we had going for decades for no good reason). So there is a lot of room of improvement.
They have to be careful then. Apollo now means more about the moon landings than the old traditions to me. I don’t know if that’s something the Chinese would like to have happen to their traditions.

Hmm, that's not really obvious to me. Sometimes the server has to deliver new data that is to be used in the GUI, so it's nice to be able to present those together in the same PR. If it then happens that the server-side changes do not match what you need in the GUI, it's relatively painless to add those changes in the same branch that hasn't yet been merged. In other words: although you can make changes in one without breaking the other, that doesn't make them completely isolated.
