Not really. Progressive Web Apps are a much better model for users than the App Store because they get to use the app immediately then decide later whether they want to keep it on their home screen or not. We've all become very used to the App Store but honestly the experience is pretty crappy.

Are you sure this is actually being used for "AutoML" type services? All of the mentioned methods require a parameter search, which is computationally infeasible in a "quick" AutoML use case, and expensive in case you actually need it. That is, you more or less run several training sessions in parallel, and learn from which performs the best in choosing the next parameters. You don't do a full grid search (that's completely unfeasible most of the time), but you at best tweak only a few parameters, and you don't do it every time you train. Hyperparameters aren't just the learning rate and weight decay, it's also the size and number of layers, where and when to quantize and by how much, structure of the network, parameters of pooling, etc etc. I'd say we're still pretty early in the game with all of that, especially when it comes to efficient architectures that demonstrate high accuracy.

Sure, many things have been contentious... changes in general meet with resistance. That's not a uniquely Red Hat, or even Canonical, thing. But in the end, and this is just my impression as I'm no longer a major user of either company's distro, Red Hat seems more interested in working with (with the notable exception of one specific prolific individual) other developers and distros while Canonical doesn't. It shows in the results: most of Canonical's major initiatives don't even survive in their own distro for too long either because of user revolt or the other distros go in a different direction. (they lost me as a user because of a couple of them)

(If there are distro maintainers / package developers who disagree, I'd be interested to hear about it. Again, this is just my impression)
One guy once wrote here on HN that he does not have an intuitive feel for CSS even after 20 years working with it. Seems we just have to memorize all the rules.

> but quality of life in India is much much better than quality of life in China

Just no.

> People in India have access to full Internet

Internet penetration in India is 25% compared to China's 71%. I suspect most people would take censored internet over no internet[0].

> have access to real Democracy

I suspect this is one of those hierarchy of needs things. India. India has 21% of its population living on under $1.90 a day, where China has 0.7% the same. Perhaps they can eat their ballot papers?[1]

> have freedom of speech, live free life, aren't afraid to speak their mind

Really though? "[India] ranks poorly at 138th rank out of 180 listed countries in the Press Freedom Index 2018 released by Reporters Without Borders (RWB)". That's _terrible_ for a supposed Democracy, even if China is worse. At least their censorship is out in the open...[2]

> minorities are not being thrown in concentration camps

No, they're just being killed with mob violence instead[3][4]

> Sure, they may not have as many life's luxuries, but I think most people will take a free-er life than a gilded prison.

Putting aside my personal feelings about the spying that "Smart" TVs do on us...

The specific problem described in the article (a TV that won't work properly because of an app that you cannot uninstall), under Australian consumer laws this would not be a problem. I would be able to demand a fix, replacement or refund from the seller.

Of course, that doesn't help people in places with weak consumer laws such as the US.

In a more general sense, I believe it should be illegal for a manufacturer to remotely update firmware in a way that the purchaser is not able to downgrade to the exact configuration that it was at the time of purchase.

I wish our governments would actually work for the people.
Is it just me, or does it seem Apple can't secure their services as well as Google?

There's always 'concerns' about Google spying, but no proof, meanwhile there's been major hacks involving Apple that are quickly forgotten because the CEO claims to be all about privacy.
Web apps are inherently mediocre on every platform.

There’s enough advantage from being accessible via URL, usable on any device, live updating, etc. to compensate that for many uses. But using web apps daily for any serious work is a huge loss in resource use, usability, polish, ...

The one that makes me saddest though is that web apps seem to be getting worse over time. For example most of Google’s suite of web apps were dramatically better a decade ago.

I prefer laptops to be thin, light and something that I can carry around in my hands. 15.6 inch is too big for a portable laptop and starts to approach desktop replacement territory. Rather get a 14 inch Laptop and plug it into a 4k monitor when you need the larger display area.

And since this is OLED, does that mean that the windows start button and Apple's system menu would get burned into the screen :-/

I have an Alienware 13 r3 (QHD OLED Touch display) and so far I've had absolutely no issues. The screen is just amazing. I've had the computer for over 1 year and the screen is as good as the first day. This is a gaming laptop, so I've tried lots of games and I haven't seen any type of flickering.

If my company is going to pay your legal fees, then they work for me, not you [sic] and I will reserve the right to fire them

This the most logical comment on this thread. I can't believe people accept paying a VC's legal bills during a negotiation. VC's are in the business of doing deals, and have their own legal retainers to work on those deals - not to mention a fan favorite movie "My Cousin Vinny" teaches every American that giving $1 to a lawyer creates client-attorney privilege.

It's amazing that without being sued (and then losing on appeal in court), people are willing to pay out of pocket for a lawyer to actively work against them in what could be one of the most important deals of a founder's life.

An Interview About StrongDM's Approach to Managing Access to Multiple Databases
I believe systemd solves a problem or two.

However, I believe the implementation is not great.

A couple specific observations:

* lots of binaries. /lib/systemd, the logs. This more than anything else is a
tragedy. Binaries get in the way of viewing, diagnosing, understanding and
changing things. It seems like premature optimization to me - I don't think
speed requires it. I think the majority are completely unnecessary.

* copying from launchd? Commercial software vendors ship binaries. They
are aligned with them. They resist disclosure, which protects from reverse
engineering, lawsuits and user modifications. Does that align with linux?

* the config files are a disorganized mess. It is like /etc/init.d but poorly
understood and then /etc/rc.d was lumped into the same directory and organization
became chaos. I looked at one system here and in /etc/systemd there are 16 directories,
23 symbolic links and just 11 files. Try unraveling the interdependencies.

additionally the config files (which mimic windows config files) lack depth.
Simple config files can have benefits, say if a GUI read and wrote them to change
settings, but I don't think that applies here. What I noticed is that they
cannot do anything, so additional logic requires an intermediate script or
compiled binary elsewhere.

* it is responsible for too many functions. I bet it didn't solve so many in
its first iteration, but sucked in more over time. It reminds me of the
accounting program that grew to rule everything in Tron.

I wonder if these problems could be resolved. It's hard to remove complexity
and add elegance later.
CSS is not a real constraint language. If it really were a constraint language, it would be better. There's no constraint solver. Just a bunch of rules applied sequentially.

I'd like to have a real constraint system, like the one in Autodesk Inventor sketch mode. You select two things and apply a constraint - parallel, tangent, horizontal, collinear, etc - and the constraint system enforces those constraints. The layout GUI tells you if you've created a conflict. CSS solves an easier problem, and not very well. It's such a mess that no one can attach a decent GUI to it.

Amusingly, tables came back. But they're called "layout tables" now, to avoid embarrassment. Trying to do 2D layout with 1D constructs (the "float" and "clear" era) was just silly.
I'm trying to think of what are some neat computer architectures out there.

We know his own lawyer said that he was unlikely to get more than a couple years, and was plausibly looking at a non-custodial sentence even if convicted.

We also know that the absurd sentences you're referring to would be departures from the federal sentencing guidelines, which spell out where in the range of possible sentences each specific case lands.

In principle I agree with you. In practice however, the FBI just uses this to harrass people. Look at what happened to Marth Stewart. She was totally innocent, did not say anything factually incorrect, but the feds thought she exagerated in some of her answers. That level of subjectivity shouldn't be involved in determining a criminal offense.

What an overly complicated analysis. Maybe it's just because white collar people are forced to sit at a desk all day,which is unhealthy and takes a very obvious toll on the appearance of your body -- so people try to counteract this by overcompensating on exercise outside of work.
We can’t all be James Mickens when it comes to prose in professional discussions unfortunately. If people get it, that’s still a side comment that can carry more depth but the words should still be of substance to the point being made because trying to stop your content for comedic / dramatic effect can backfire as you’ve observed, especially with a diverse audience. Being inclusive and respectful to your audience doesn’t mean stopping with referential humor / puns entirely though IMO. Heck, quoting some random famous person in your slides is kind of the time honored name drop of smart people humblebragging but few seem to say that’s a practice that’s alienating compared to ping pong or beer in the workplace.
I do not know if SnapChat would succeed just by copying some functionality. Snap grew by offering an opportunity to share small, stupid day-to-day moments.

We are curious about what others do. That's why reality shows and gossip magazines were so successful.

But the point is that by introducing Stories, Instagram provided this opportunity to spy on the lives of others. But also the opportunity to build a profile. This is important for anyone who has the ability to entertain others for longer, the influencers. And make others believe they could be that too.

Just saving a snap would not be enough. Snap would have to provide a landing page for each user that could be attractive enough for others to start following it. And some small clips is not so attractive, because you have to wait without doing nothing. In Instagram, in a few second rolling someone feed you would like it or not.

In addition, Instagram's search system improved greatly during this time of competition. While on snapchat is non-existent.
Not an American but I'm not convinced America is in the wrong here. It's reasonable to complain and act when someone is cherry-picking rules. US companies can't compete on price but can on research. When that is stolen, you fight back with whatever you have available to you. Complaints to WTO, economic force, arrests (where warranted).

I also understand the Chinese perspective. People and countries have stolen tech forever. The US has during development. Long game means steal it now and take a few knocks. People will forget soon enough but you'll have changed economic trajectory permanently.
I'm not sure why you think using standardized formulas is incorrect, there are certainly cases to use a mean average. There are other times you may want to use geometric mean, harmonic mean, mode, median, etc... and the library doesn't force anyone to use a specific function for the analysis, it just provides the tools to be used as needed.

Saying this is my high school homework is quite rude, it's a project I've been working on for several years along with several other contributors. It's cloned hundreds of times a day and quite obviously of benefit to many people and organizations.

This library is used as a dependency in many projects like cockroachdb, mongodb, etc... and has a lot of tests to verify it's correct. Not having dependencies ensures that the entire library is well tested and removes the need to track down bugs far down the dependency graph.
We got fed up with Google Cloud yesterday as they unplugged things without warning even if we have the paying accounts in place. I know it is a small case to them and they won't care. We still need to raise the voice and that they need to know they are holding a wrong mindset and wrong policies on their users.

Elizabeth Warren to propose new wealth tax on fortunes of more than $50M
At least in America, endurance sports are terribly overpriced.

I lived in Japan for two years and entered 6 half-marathons as an English teacher on small salary. Each race for $40-50 and came with a free t-shirt promoting the town the event took place in. Many people from the community (not just the wealthy) took part.

When I returned to America, I was excited to join races in America. Every long distance race was $100+. I haven't raced in a single half-marathon since. I can't justify spending that much money to run in the street. It turns more into an ego/selfie-experience than a celebration of running.

TLDR: registers are faster to access than memory. Even warp-local on-chip memory.

While CUDA looks like scalar code, GPUs are vector based, that scalar code is executed by 32-wide vector units. The threads running on the same units are called warp. There're little-known intrinsics in CUDA, __shfl_sync, __shfl_up_sync, __shfl_down_sync, that allow to permute data across lanes, thus exchanging data across threads of the warp. Replacing local memory access with registers is what gave the profit.

CSS is not an art thing. It's just a configuration language with a accidental hierarchical features attached. CSS has as much to do with design as a tube of paint has with painting.

As a technology, like all things related to how browsers work really, CSS is not really a well designed part of a wholesome and complete architecture, but an accidental feature on top of a pile of an accidental agglomeration of features.

CSS is not art. It's just accidental complexity. It's totally understandable to me if it seems weird.

But if you need to learn it - maybe train yourself by small examples? Maybe you are trying to understand the layout of a complete and complex page? What if you implemented simple HTML pages by hand of increasing complexity and figure how CSS affects those? People are different learners but this sort of thing helps me along often.

And the font thing - typography has a long history. Since the chances are fairly good that your designer counterparts are font afficionados it never hurts politically to familiarize oneself at least with the history of the craft and to identify serif fonts from sans serif ones.

Beyond the immediate issues of "what rules do I use to make this thing look this way", the cascade can also make large-scale management and code reuse challenging. It's sort of like object-oriented inheritance, except the definitions and instantiations live in totally different places, and the top-level object properties are defined by browser manufacturers, or possibly end-users. Without some sort of build system, static analysis is difficult so it's hard to say if a definition is being used or not to know whether changing it will break something somewhere else.

People have developed some techniques to mitigate these issues, but many are unintuitive and don't follow naturally from "make this thing look this way".
IMHO endurance sports are objectively the best sports:

- Lowest chance of short term injuries.

- Mostly low impact (less true for running, but true for sports like rowing and nordic skiing.)

- Best for improving cardiovascular health, which is the biggest cause of death

- Best for losing weight

- Most fair and least influenced by random chance

- Perhaps the best at developing a person's character also, since hard work and training is more consistently rewarded than with other sports (although there is still a lot of randomness).

- Least commercialized and corrupted by the NCAA, pro leagues, tv ratings, etc.

Perhaps the people smart enough to choose the best sports are the ones who are also smart enough to get wealthy.
Absolutely. I can understand implementing this feature for some special cases, like containers that should clear all hint of a user away on log off. It should never have been the default, and breaks an entire category of software. In my standard .bashrc file, I have the following snippet to warn me if I am on a system with that stupid setting enabled.

if which loginctl > /dev/null && loginctl >& /dev/null; then
if loginctl show-user | grep KillUserProcesses | grep -q yes; then
echo "systemd is set to kill user processes on logoff"
echo "This will break screen, tmux, emacs --daemon, nohup, etc"
echo "Tell the sysadmin to set KillUserProcesses=no in /etc/systemd/login.conf"
