Looks like they're out of stock now, but it has a big label on the front that says co2meter.com, so you might want to check there.

I am not affiliated with that company.
This just converts the problem from useless bullshit of the Cracking the Coding Interview variety into useless bullshit of the “how many ping pong balls can fit in a 747” hedge fund variety.
Say what you want about YouTube recommended political videos, but I have found some absolutely great music because it showed up in my recommended.

A small Canadian band showed up in my recommended and that first song captivated me. Then I listened to their other singles and two albums, and now I'm going to their show next month.

Also, I just found an artist from Belarus that makes fantastic synthpop. The weird thing is that all his videos use cyrillic characters, so I don't know how google even matched it. I am thankful though.
They often can't get jobs directly in the same career field without approval due to conflict of interest concerns. Approval which they presently can't get. For laborers this isn't necessarily a problem, but for knowledge workers this precludes a lot of opportunities to make up the lost income.

(Technically, all outside employment by a federal employee has to be approved by their office to ensure there's no conflict and that it won't impact the quality of the work.)

And deferred pay, after 2 missed paychecks, doesn't help much. This paycheck is February's rent for many of them. Good luck in a week if they can't negotiate with their bank or landlord.
FaunaDB already does this. It provides distributed transactions based on Calvin, which does not rely on classic 2PC. See https://fauna.com/blog/acid-transactions-in-a-globally-distr... and http://cs.yale.edu/homes/thomson/publications/calvin-sigmod1...

Busy man, he allegedly also kept himself away from his own children. The first one - Lisa - certainly did not get stock options. It was only after the intervention of a judge that he began to assist her financially.

Counterpoint, pretty much all of what we call Latin America does not differentiate semantically between North and South America in common discourse - they refer to themselves as "Americans" living in "America", where USA happens to be an "American" country.

Outside of that part of the world, you're largely correct, "America" == "USA"

> I think the big deciding factor for me was that it handled rich pasting better than all other platforms. I can copy from my editor (IntelliJ) and paste into it and the format is preserved perfectly.

I guess you are looking for a fully packed editor that preserves as much formatting as possible when pasted.

ProseMirror can do that. But for that, you have to first configure ProseMirror (by adding necessary schema info) to make it understand background colour, font colour and other such formatting that doesn't come by default. That is probably why, it might have _seemed_ like ProseMirror couldn't handle the paste.
The anti-vaxers are from all over the political spectrum I am sad to say.

Multi-versioned systems can read from a snapshot at negligible complexity (just read the correct version).
Yes. Trump is literally risking the security of the country for a wall (and only a downpayment on the wall).
ATMs are a great example of a system that really don't need a two phase commit protocol. You have an account, it has a balance, and the transaction is a subtraction from the balance.

A dumb ATM would read the balance value, subtract, and issue a "set balance to $$$" transaction. A good ATM would check the balance, ensure theres enough money (or overdraft..) for the request, and record a "subtract $40" transaction.

If this message gets delayed, oh well, the customer might end up with a negative balance - sucks for the bank if the customer decides to go into hiding - but as the customer typically can't control the delay - it's hard for them to abuse this feature.

(I only consider delay here, as I'm sure ATMs make multiple durable copies of their transaction log - making all but the biggest disaster unlikely to prevent them from being able to retrieve the TX's eventually)

On the other hand, most systems are nowhere near this "simple". What happens when 3 Github users all simultaneously edit the same Github organisations description? You can't just add/subtract each of the changes. One change has to win, or in other words, two changes need to be rejected.

I feel like the authors text really only covers the ATM style use case, a valid use case, but one that's already reasonable to solve without 2 phase commits. Once you are willing to accept & able to handle check+set race conditions, things get much easier :)
I have a hard time believing Zuckerberg would purposely exclude himself from the conversation.

You know what's bizarre to me? Most US states are either one party consent or 2 party consent states. Meaning to record a conversation, at least one party must consent to the conversation being recorded.

So how does this not apply at all to private conversations online?
This shutdown started when the Republicans controlled all 4 chambers of government (The house, the senate, the presidency, and the judiciary).

There's plenty of both sides blame that you can assign for various problems in the country, but this is not one of them, and it is incredibly disingenuous to do so.
OK, so it sounds like for Apache 2.0 to have any teeth, there have to be actual patents in play.

Since Apple has received the patents, not through the Apache 2.0 license, but from the USPTO, they would not lose access to those patents should they sue for infringement over them. IAMAL, but it seems like there still might be a case to be made for Apple's use of Swift to be covered through the Apache 2.0 license.

It seems like the most logical explanation of this whole thing is that Apple wants to ensure that all users of Swift are free from litigation. To do so, they used the Apache 2.0 license to cover the code. However, the license requires there to be patents that exist, so that enforcement clauses prevent trolls from being granted a patent and then going after users of Swift. So, Apple filed for some patents that cover aspects of Swift.
They haven't patented monads or any programming feature.

You do realize that several of the walkout demands were specifically designed to improve treatment of temps, vendors, and contractors as well as full-timers, right? Most of the Googlers who walked out explicitly did so in support of the folks who couldn't.

YouTube recommendations are so terrible I consider any suggestion of a channel I don't already watch as a warning. "We see you watched an informative video on topic X, would you also like to watch DudeWhoHatesEverything rant incessantly about X, or BaityMcClickface's Top 10 Ys about X? Don't worry if you don't, we'll keep bringing them up every time you watch anything even tangentially related to X."
The article's a little dense, so here's my lame attempt at a summary:

- 2PC exists because we all assume computers suck.

- 2PC is annoying and slow because it's a lot of extra work/complexity.

- Let's get around this by designing systems so transactions are not affected by computer failures, and then we don't need all the extra 2PC crap.

- Wtf? How?

- Avoid deadlocks, and restart a transaction on failure using original input.

- How?

- waves hands something something Calvin something something Anything Else Is A Bit Complicated

Personally I believe there is a solution here, but there needs to be more "proof" of how existing systems can be retooled to use it. It's not like people are just going to abandon Oracle tomorrow.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think the extreme of your tone might put some people off.

These buttons have bothered me for a long time because it just illustrates how short sited the thinking is in our government institutions.

This small lie may reduce jaywalking by 3%, in the short term.

But for the future generations growing up in a world where the government makes buttons that don't work, public trust will erode, conspiracy theories will seem more reasonable, and most importantly government employees will have a new standard to weigh their decisions against. If lying was permissible in this case for a slight benefit the maybe a slightly more egregious lie would be acceptable in a different situation.

And on a separate note, once you expect these buttons to be fake people stop pressing them. When you then encounter a "real" button you miss an entire cycle on the crosswalk because you have been trained to ignore the buttons, and this results in people getting absolutely furious.
This is great. I definitely feel like the front-end could use a more ORM-like, feature rich data layer. I generally use an ORM on the backend. When I get the data to the front-end, it's still relational in nature, and I still want similar tools for working with it (e.g. schema definition, validations, and an api that lets me query and manipulate related data). It seems like Ember Data is closest thing. I wish it could more easily be used outside of the context of Ember.
As someone just wrapping up the FastAI Intro to Machine Learning course and moving on to DL, I'm really glad this came out now.

Thanks for all the knowledge, Jeremy!
What's interesting is that almost all traffic in eastern Norway goes through the city. Instead of having the highways go around it, they go through it. So while the city center is "car free", there is still alot of traffic and pollution.
In addition to what the other commenters wrote, take-home assignments are also negative for diversity as they pre-select against candidates with less free time, which likely includes single parents and people from low-income backgrounds.
I like a lot of things about the U.S. over the U.K. but our healthcare system is definitely not one of them.
The United States went from a inhospitable backwoods outpost isolated from the entire developed world to the most powerful nation in the world in somewhere around 200 years. These numbers sound larger because we don't live very long but relative to the span of civilizations we are an unimaginable success. Many countries today have e.g. restaurants that predate our country by hundreds of years.

This is important for two reasons. The first is obvious - we did something very right. I don't think there's any single thing you can pinpoint as the secret sauce so I think it's very important to learn from and consider our entire system, its motivations, and rationale in a comprehensive but holistic fashion.

The second reason is perhaps even more important. Do you know what every great superpower before America has in common? They no longer exist. And in many cases not only do they no longer exist, but their former territory is in shambles. It's amazing, and disconcerting, to imagine that Spain was once a global superpower. The point of this is that it's critical to learn from the past, lest we repeat it. The stories may change, but the fundamental problems and decisions that nations face remain quite similar.
I think the thing that is concerning to me is not so much that users don't care about the envelope from, so much as it is that other email providers' anti-spam measures may block my email if some spammer start spoofing me. Then, poof! I can't email any gmail accounts anymore.
True, but it isn't clear how much Jobs foresaw vs how much it grew beyond control. There are a few things that obviously cannot be done in a website and some are things apple cannot control.
> They are both used to generate a sequence of consecutive integers, although Go's iota starts at 0 whereas APL's starts at 1.

Iota in APL is unary operator that generates a vector of consecutive integers starting at the origin up to and including its operand. Iota in Go is a predeclared identifier that can only be used in constant declarations wherein it auto-increments on every use. The resemblance is superficial at best.

> "Ken suggested iota for the counter and, since all three of us (Ken, Robert, Rob) had implemented APL interpreters, it seemed a perfect thing to us." - Rob Pike

Maybe we have just have a different view on what "modeled" means, or I am being too literal. To me, "modeling" implies that something is created with another thing in mind, adhering to the same principles. To relate that to the quote, I wouldn't call the process of coming up with a concept and only afterwards finding a name for it from some handwavely similar concept in another context modeling.
That's a decent headline, I feel like if this story was somewhere else it would be something like "A HUGE JUMP IN GHOSTING" or something silly. The article says "There's no official data on ghosting at work." so all they can really say it's maybe going up now. "Some Employees" seems like a good choice of words there.
While much of the commentary is negative here, I do think this will give us inter-operability among whatsapp, messenger, facebook and instagram. For those who have accounts on all these, it will be beneficial to be able to access them in an richer, integrated manner.
The big difference is that it's a much easier problem to solve in the context of a log (see Paxos, Raft, ZAB, et al), where the consensus membership is more or less fixed, as opposed to having to manage it among an adhoc membership set.
The internet in 2007 was not what it is today, in large part because we did not all carry around tiny computers with us all day. For better and worse.

Ok, but you haven't actually addressed the main point of my comment. If it's entitled for labor to demand better treatment when there are kids starving in Africa, why is it not also entitled for management to demand said labor do more work for less? Your comment is entirely orthogonal to this tension.
I called the IRS this week to try to resolve a long pending matter. Hold time was pretty bad, and I was told that at the time being, no progress could be made on the issue due to lack of staffing.

But I was utterly impressed at the courtesy and positive attitude of the employee who handled my call. I don't know if I could bring that much professionalism to my work if I hadn't been paid in a month.
So, if you really do want more information about the alternative proposed, look at the Calvin system mentioned in the article -- which also links to the paper for Calvin describing how it approaches the problem.

I wouldn’t make insurance illegal, but as a thought experiment I think if you banned employers from providing health benefits then you’d find a sudden huge pressure for change. If the wealthy class in the US had to deal with what the self-pay / self-insured deal with, there’d be hell to pay.

If they can get more in donations than the cost of procuring them, why not ask?

Universities ask alumni to give all the time even though they have already paid. Why not hospitals (many already attached to universities).

To be clear, I think it is a terrible practice but if your hospital sees that it works for the university it is attached to, why not explore the opportunity?

Except things aren't going on just fine. There are huge consequences for everything from people who depend on HUD for housing to domestic violence shelters who depend on Justice Department grants to be able to afford diapers. New weather models haven't been published because the scientists creating them are furloughed. Air traffic control is impacted. Craft breweries can't release new beers because there's nobody to validate that they're safe. The list goes on and on. Imagine the things we're not seeing yet because the impacts will only be felt years later.

In fact if there's not already a gist of impacts from the government shutdown there should be one.

I do agree that they may be intentionally reducing the attractiveness of government jobs and decreasing the quality of government programs in an effort to shift more wealth to their already wealthy private sector buddies.

Wouldn't paying for insurance be separate from a bill from the hospital? If I'm paying for medical care then that money isn't going to the insurance company.

The online Stanford courses--CS224, CS229, CS231--are an excellent introduction into modern AI. CS231 with Andrej Karpathy in particular was a game-changer for me. It has three very thorough and well-designed assignments that will have you implement many of the basic algorithms discussed in the course.

The pre-requisite linear algebra for these subjects can be learned through Gilbert Strang's MIT course. A basic grounding in statistics and probability theory, along with calculus will also help.
Just wanted to say, your first course made me, someone with out a degree, extremely interested in the field, and empowered me to pursue a career in the industry. You making ML "uncool" really made me believe I could do it, when previously I had been quite self-conscious about my lack of academics.

I did realize however I was still going to be quite a hard sell for companies without the credentials. But that has lead me towards obtaining a B.S. in Data Management/Analytics from WGU.

Thank you for your incredible content and I look forward to completing this course. Your enthusiasm and teaching style make the class a real joy.

Vienna also turned one of its biggest shopping streets into a mostly pedestrian zone a few years ago. The results are great, the only issue is that two thirds of it are shared spaces where cars are still allowed to drive, albeit witout priority over pedestrians. Mostly because some parties vehemently fought against pedestrian areas, claiming businesses will lose customers and shops will have to close. Turns out, there are more people than ever and at times it's so crowded that you can't even get through on your bike. Simply because it's a nice space now where people can enjoy shopping, food and going for a walk without constant car noise and smell. It's great.

Also, large parts of the inner city district are exclusively pedestrian areas and it makes these areas so much more enjoyable:

What most likely happened is, the developer setting it up did have it locked down. But then some upper management decree came down and said, these people/department needs to be able to access this data however they please. The developer probably told them, ok, here is how we need to set that up. The manager said, no, too hard. Just let them call it directly, don't encrypt it, don't check for authorization, make it "easy for them to get to"...

And here we are today.

If I were a developer in that position, after pushing back with nothing coming from it. You should do what doctors do. Tell whoever is ordering you to do X, that you need it in writing and coming from him personally. Other than that, you don't have many options as a developer. Your other option is to be fired, and they'll bring in the next guy.

So ultimately, there needs to be accountability, not just on developers, but the business as a whole. A developer should have the ability to raise a flag to someone without recourse.
