At my low level, in 5/0 (so a reasonably short time control), that gives opponents an opportunity to practice converting their advantage to a win.
As far as I understand you needed your own Unity / Unreal / Cryengine license to develop using SpatialOS, they don’t do streaming the way you described.
I didn't say this is for everyone. Choosing where to live is a personal choice. Just like living in Chicago and having less tech options and very hot summer, a very rough cold is not for everyone. The myth that SV is no longer the hot bed of innovation is also flat out wrong. If you tell me it's Denver or Austin or Seattle we can just look at the last companies to come out of these places vs SV.
High-Performance Functional Programming Through Effect Rotation
The commercial offerings are far more used, which means there's more tools, there's more prebuilt assets you can buy, there's more documentation and StackOverflow answers. I would bet that either of Unity or Unreal have more dev resources going into them than all of the ones you mentioned there combined, too.
With Apple, you can take it to any store and they'll diagnose it immediately. With business support (which isn't even expensive for individuals; it was $500/year when I had it) they'll give you a loaner on the spot.

> Yes Brave is just Mr. Eich being frustrated with his life...

Who can argue with vacuous conjurations like that? “That doesn't necessarily follow.” is the most charitable response you can expect.
I have a PC business on the side and I love selling people NUCs. Few or no moving parts to break, you can often mount them on the backs of monitors, performance has been good enough for ~4 years for 99% of desktop tasks. If not for the inexplicable price premium they'd be perfect for anyone except if you need a lot of storage, dedicated video, or expansion slots.
> if the kernel discovers a crash, the `fork()` syscall of the parent process is blocked for 30 seconds for each failed attempt

That seems like something good to be able to turn on in a stock kernel, but not with that high a timeout. Imagine your shell failing to start another process for 30 seconds after you're debugging a segfault, or your browser failing to open another tab for 30 seconds after one crash.

500ms would drastically slow brute-force attacks without noticeably inconveniencing the user (and then they can always turn it off manually when doing something like fuzz testing).
Only insofar as you would check any technology for how well it’s made generally.

After a couple of years running in production, my opinion is that it is well-made generally.

Finding clever ways to break a technology isn’t a fair reflection of “real world” use, in my opinion.

In my experience, the only frustration left is display scaling. Everything else "just works", while leaving configuration as an option for those who want it.

Unfortunately, display scaling is just impossible with Xorg, and Wayland is still not really usable.
Looks like the decisions that favor patent trolls were all decided by majority Obama appointees. Makes me wonder if the new Supreme Court appointees will accept any challenges to these rulings and if so, will they finally put a leash on this Federal Circuit Appeals Court.
The Chess club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis has a lot of great videos on youtube for beginner/intermediate players, and Ben Finegold is also hilarious.

No it's not. From his standpoint, the clipboard situation is broken. It's reasonable to state his viewpoint. Especially given that he's addressing a large community and not a small set of individuals, it's borderline absurd that someone would take personal offense at his statement.

It's unreasonable to expect that criticisms be phrased politically to avoid stepping on oversensitive toes.
The writers of this piece don't even seem to know what evolution of species is. Evolution has as a premise the survival of species. To survive, reproduction is the most important consideration. Therefore, beautiful specimens (itself a subjetive notion created by evolution) have the tendency to reproduce more often and make it possible for the species to survive.

> the "objective" of usefulness, but of reproduction.

The entire article specifically emphasizes how the issue is much more subtle than this - there are traits that are 'beautiful' precisely because they signal to potential mates that this individual is healthy, and therefore well-adapted to the environment.
I'd be curious if anyone can summarize the tradeoffs between Confluence + MediaWiki at some point. From what I've seen it seems to come down to:

(1) MediaWiki is definitely more responsive (Confluence can be quite slow) and, importantly, considerably more expressive -- provide you can learn Markdown, which basically anyone can.

(2) But you're essentially stuck with email-based logins which can be a dealbreaker to some organizations (MW does support OAuth in theory, but only in theory it seems -- the setup seems to be basically not supported).
Also PSA: if you ever decide to make said repo public, `git push --force` does not make the old commits unaccessible; doing so is not a secure way to remove secrets from a git remote before making it public
Wayland is not the default on most Linux distributions for a reason and likely won't be for a while. Surprised to see it picked as a foundation as it is not mature at all, despite the protocol being around for a decade now.

This AI toolkit works on popular Intel CPUs, and is a big step forward for the new Intel Nervana Neural Network Processor (NNP-I) hardware chip akin to a GPU.

The Intel AI Lab has an introduction to NLP (https://ai.intel.com/deep-learning-foundations-to-enable-nat...) and optimized Tensorflow (https://ai.intel.com/tensorflow/)

One surprising research result for this NLP is that a simple convolutional architecture outperforms canonical recurrent networks, often. See: CMU lab, Sequence Modeling Benchmarks and Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN) https://github.com/locuslab/TCN

If you're interested in Nervana, here are some specifics: the chip is for hardware neural network acceleration, for inference-based workloads. Notable features include fixed-point math, Ice Lake cores, 10-nanometer fabs, on-chip memory management by software directly, and hardware-optimized inter-chip parallelism.

I've worked for Intel, and I'm stoked to see the AI NLP progress.

"Ruby has its place and whilst you think Rails is "magic" the internet begs to differ. Of course any framework looks like "magic" if you don't bother digging into implementation details of it. That is the whole point!"

I think most people including many Rails proponents would agree that Rails has a huge emphasis on "magic" compared to other frameworks. It's a feature. Convention over Configuration implies magic and that is one of Rails' most famous tenets.

Love it or hate it, magic is Rails' modus operandi
I had a slightly different perspective, as someone who's been a web-ish developer for the last ~8-10 years: I've picked up a lot of this as I've gone, and it's fun to see it all listed out this way and think about it holistically.

I think it could be intimidating for a beginner to think, "Damn, I've gotta learn all these things" and you totally, totally don't. But as you work in this space for a while, you'll encounter a lot of this, and the more you learn about the different pieces, the better code you'll write everywhere.
“National sovereignty” is exactly the idea that every state has only the constraints imposed either by it's physical power and behavioral constraints it voluntarily (and revocable) imposes on itself.

> the world cannot function if every country can impose its laws on every citizen in the world.

You seem to want to abandon the idea of national sovereignty for a global sovereign with geographically-bounded subordinate jurisdictions that may have broad discretion but which face mandatory constraints designed to optimize what you see as the desirable function of the world system. Which is a perfectly legitimate view, but you shouldn't confuse it with the idea of national sovereignty, to which it radically opposed.
Doesn't unity make it "easier" to be cross platform still?
Thousands of books, hundreds of websites, millions of videos. Of course with numbers that large the quality varies a lot. Chess has been popular for a long time. To get really good requires a lot of hard study, so most people who get good end up writing a book to try to get some payback for their effort. As a result there are probably more books on chess than all other games combined.
That's why I said that traits don't even have to be viable, they just don't have to prevent the propagation of genes. Those are either the result of random mutation, are the result of recessive genes that didn't manifest in the parents and therefore didn't present any bearing on their ability to reproduce, or simply just weren't problematic enough to impact reproduction. There's also the possibility that they're not related to genetics at all. It all depends.

Those traits have clearly not been selected for, though, they've simply been rare enough to be tolerated in the gene pool.

I've worked as a web developer for about half of the last fifteen years, and work as a senior front-end developer at a large web-focused company (Shopify). So I guess I'm fairly good at it?

Here's a list of things I have never even heard of just from the "Front-end Roadmap" section: BEM, OOCSS, SMACSS, Bulma, JSCS, ngrx, Vuex, Ava, Protractor, Cypress, Emotion, Radium, Glamorous, After.js, Universal, Nuxt.js, Carlo.

That's only the ones I've never even heard of until today. There's a bunch more I've heard of but never used.

This page is completely the wrong way of thinking about how to become a web developer.
Could someone please clarify what SpatialOS actually does? Even in the updated arstechnica link I still don't quite get what is going on and how it breaches the new terms of service.

Are the game clients used by the players running Unity? Is the server running Unity? How is SpatialOS's setup different from other multiplayer games?
Sure. And the function of stack probes is to 1) ensure the stack is properly extended, if possible, or 2) interrupt the program with SIGSEGV (or SIGBUS), if not possible.

Without evidence to the contrary, I would assume that a GCC- or LLVM-based Ada implementation would also be susceptible to stack overflow in the same way--pathological allocation patterns that silently bypass the system's "this could never happen in the real world" assumptions. And just like with C, the fault would lie with the compiler, not the language.

Again, I realize the behavior in C is technically undefined, but its undefined precisely for the reason of permitting the implementation to do the most sane thing for the environment, such as sharing mechanism and semantics with sister languages like Ada or Rust.
> And I think that a typed Elixir would get my attention right quick.

Elixir _is_ statically typed, it just uses strong type inference so you rarely have to explicitly type things out.

A key difference between Crystal and Elixir is that Crystal tries to replicate ruby syntax in a more performant language, whereas Elixir tries to apply the sensibilities of Ruby and the Ruby community to the Erlang VM.
The phone is going to be niche regardless, and its likely users will be able to solve those problems their own way if GNOME apps are usable.

Everyone is different, but for me, 90% of my phone usage is: phone calls (I have no landline phone at home), text messages, and maps/navigation.

If there's no maps, I'd pass on this phone.

Calendar, notes, calculator, etc. are relatively unimportant for me.

Other apps are relatively unimportant to me. I don't use Facebook or other social media on my phone. I don't use ride-hailing services. I don't rent bikes or scooters. I don't use my phone to make retail payments. So none of that stuff matters to me.
> Although never completely forgotten, Darwin’s theory of beauty was largely abandoned.

This claim is completely unsubstantiated - even my high school biology class went over sexual selection as a form of natural selection.
> Anyway, do competitive programmers tend to program everything from scratch, or is there another reason they don't just use GMP?

I think directly using algorithms and programs implemented by others would be considered cheating (and these libraries are not presented on the server which checks your answer anyway). In competitive programming, participants compete their own ability and knowledge to implement algorithms.
And a project config system that will break everything at the slightest provocation! Seriously, setting up even moderately complicated multi-project solutions usually results in days lost to figuring out why x library isn't linking with y project. The editor is great, the build system is somehow worse than make/cmake.
No, it’s not. A simple examination of the circumstances demonstrates that sexism is the least likely explanation here. There is nothing to suggest that may have been the case, and the weak reasoning they do provide is demonstrably false.
Wow, that's bad.

The definition of "fake news" is a list of 21 conservative web sites chosen by BuzzFeed. For some reason, BuzzFeed wasn't in that list.

Unsurprisingly, by that definition, fake news is primarily spread by conservatives! Chart C shows that as the strongest result by far. Chart B, going by age, is a weaker result. Well yes, it seems that conservatives live longer (living less dangerously?) or that people turn conservative as they age. It is well-known that older people lean conservative.

This study is, itself, impressively fake, just like BuzzFeed.
> Try passing a std::string in from C/C++ code. It treats it as a byte string

Because that's exactly what it is? std::string is a bytes buffer, not actual text. There's no guarantee that the contents of std::string will be in any encoding, let alone a specific one.
The systemd developers "forget" to file a lot of the CVE bugs that should have been filed, so the CVE is incomplete in regards to the serious security issues that have affected systemd.
News == current happenings. It really never helps me with seeing the bigger picture. Unless I'm already aware of the big picture in which case News augments my understanding.

Magazines == Get the big picture on a broad range of topics.

Books == Get the full picture on specific topics.

Looking at things this way I have come to realize that most news I used to read doesn't add any empirical value to me. Sure I can show off I know this and that and that happened and how stupid is that and laugh at it. But that's about it. News (cable news) is literally entertainment IMHO.

Important to note, neither is Unreal really. It's not a pedantic distinction here either, as it affects how far you can take a project that modifies the core engine.

Not that I'm against Unreal in any way, it's just important to keep in mind.
Although I respect the author's effort but using that as a learning roadmap is a recipe for coding-monkey - the more buzzwords the better.
Stop, not that way guys. The big missing part of these fancy charts are: fundamentals and soft-skills. Focus on learning social skills and you won't have to bang your head with all that tech which may not be what a client needs. If you want to learn - start small.

Like what? Let's say men are now compelled by social mores to be (more) aggressive risk takers, drive themselves to compete, achieve more and take leadership positions. Leaving aside how incredibly wrong such generalization is, let's assume it's exactly correct. And let's consider a hypothetical where men aren't compelled to do any of that - what would allow such men to "achieve a lot more" while avoiding taking risks, rejecting stoic values of perseverance and hard work, despising leadership and drive to succeed (whatever their definition of success would be), what would be the mechanism of it?
I disagree. Mainly because I don't think patterns based on someone gender are very interesting, I think they lead to bias and ultimately divide people. Again, consider how it would look like if the pattern was based on race.

We simply don't want to pattern people like that. You can judge by behavior, but you shouldn't judge by gender.

Soft skills, have been shown to be a higher predictor of income than IQ.

You are right that something's been passed down - but it's not the genes. It's the social connection to:

* Get jobs without applying for them.

* To learn important economic news before anyone hears them. E.g. President bought 1200 Cuban cigar just before banning imports from CUBA. Read this: https://www.cigaraficionado.com/index.php/article/great-mome...

* To get contracts regardless of ones qualifications. I've read that Aristocrats ensure their kids have ivy league degrees to maintain a illusion of fairness.

There's an article I read here on HN that says, Ivy league schools are successful because they select applicants who would be successful without them.

Yours and other comment did reveal my analysis was flawed, thanks for that.

Re: the first two points, I really don't think so. I have a Nexus 5x that would kill the battery in around an hour if video chatting (to your point, it did get very very hot). There is also a recently revealed 'bug' in the NXP SoC being used by Librem themselves, who claimed it was killing the battery in an hour. I figure anything under 2 hours is fair game to be 'measured in minutes.'

Note that a “signal” in this context is just a trigonometric polynomial over a periodic interval.

If you think of your periodic interval as representing angle measure, and the points in the interval as points on the unit circle in the complex plane, then your trigonometric polynomial can alternately be thought of as a Laurent polynomial in the complex plane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent_polynomial

What the FFT does is convert between the values of your function at n roots of unity in the complex plane -> the coefficients of the Laurent polynomial interpolating those values.
