I'm guessing most people expect the test to be slightly more sophisticated than it actually is. I have a slight regional regional accent that leans towards standard American pronunciation with all the words they asked about. This test feels dated and incomplete.
The OP didn't exhaust their solutions. They found a simple solution which works (for them), and shares it. Once the solution gets widely adopted, it will also get more attack surface. In the meantime, the solution works well because the risk (getting spam calls once more) is worth the small investment. Its essentially a no-brainer to implement this, if you suffer from this issue (I don't, I'm eagerly waiting for a fun phone call with Miclosoft customer support despite owning no such products).

For some reason this comes pretty naturally to me. I guess I'm only talking to 15-20 people pretty regularly...

Maybe this is the disconnect. The last time I sent a message from Messages was apparently in November.
Since it's stack memory, in both cases you can assume that the struct (whether or not including a small-array) is already loaded in the cache. The question is can't you achieve that the heap memory of the vector version is also in the cache if you just care a tiny little bit about data organization.
1. $10/month is not an issue for me financially.

2. I want to support the artists who make my media financially, and doing that on an individual basis would be too inconvenient.

3. I know what I’m getting, P2P was always a gamble.

4. Current streaming services (movies and videos) have a significantly better UX that isnaccessible to anyone.
Right, brain fart on the train. But the point still stands, why should we use GCD when there are other more portable means out there - which are also supported on iOS - to do the same thing? It's just different for the sake of being different.

Quote from the license text :
> This license does not include the right to compile music from WOWA to replicate a similar or competing service.

I think this clause coflicts with CC0, or prevent bundling into FLOSS (e.g. GPLed one). Am I wrong?
For example, Pixabay's image, which has such a clause in the license, was recently banned using with WordPress theme (because WordPress is GPLv3).
I am getting very nervous about such a clause, but I know CC0 is weak for trolls... Annoying.

> our lack of capacity of understand complex images, compared to text

I'm not sure I agree with this. Not as a fundamental law, at least. I find complex text pretty difficult to understand. Sure, I can read the words or even expressions, but to really understand how everything is connected and how the data and control flows through what's written, I find that incredibly difficult. A large part of programming is keeping that contextual information in my head so that I don't have to re-evaluate it all again.

Which is the reason why I love pen & paper and boxes & lines when I try to map out some code, a data structure, algorithm or idea. Obviously everyone is different, but for me, when things get too complex, I reach for images and diagrams to help me understand and form a clear mental model of what's going on or what I want.

Having said that, I've yet to find a visual programming language that does this. When I used Max/MSP a number of years back, I found it helped me think in "code" as I could map out ideas visually, reducing the need for pen and paper, but it had a ton of shortcomings. It gave me a glimpse of what it could be though, and I think the problems could be solved to a point where I can skip pen and paper altogether. We're not there yet, but if you think about how much time and effort went into making textual languages, its no wonder visual languages are so far behind. Also, its clear that not every task is well suited to visual languages, so the best environment would need to be a mix of both.
You are leaving out group three. Those who want the money and will put it on a spare phone and game Facebook by using the phone for nonsense that has little to do with their personal life. As a similar example, just because I use Facebook doesn't mean I click "like" on things I actually believe in. Or click on ads of products I would be interested in. Quite the opposite.
> I remember in 1997 when I could boot Linux off a 1.44MB floppy

I installed slackware in the early 90's. The kernel was on one floppy, then the barest rootfs was on a 2nd and 3rd floppy. I believe the whole install spanned 13 1.44MB floppies. That's not so different from say, current day Openwrt in overall size, which can still fit into 4MB of ROM if needed.

What I care about are companies that simply have no moral compass. If no one at Google or Facebook think that they're pushing a little too hard to get ever more data about their users, then something is terribly wrong at those companies.

Google is particularly fascinating, their employees protest when their parent company want to be a supplier to the US military, but apparently they have no moral objection to building detailed profiles on users (and non-users) in order to sell them more junk that they don't need and can't afford.

The whole data collection thing is so abstract that the same people who don't want their employer to kill people with drone can't see the immorality of invading people privacy. If that's the case, then how can we expect the layman to understand or care?

I remember that even in 1997 you needed one boot-disk containing the kernel, somewhat taylored to your system (SCSI/non-SCSI, networking) already because of space constraints, and a root-disk, and the running system was pretty minimal.

Ask HN: Does an in-browser neural network have any practical use?
I am thinking of starting a small site which will allow users to train and predict locally within a browser. No downloads and training data will stay local and private (never sent to the server). Everything should happen using the local resources.

This web application should allow training data of type JSON or CSV. Perhaps it can also allow streaming from the local file system. I think we can support all types of Feed Forward and Recurrent Neural Networks with this application.

Technically it’s all possible but are there any practical uses for such a thing to exist?
I was the author of MP3 Fiend, which was doing really well back in 1999 (CNET 5-star Editor's Choice). Then Napster came along.

While I appreciate that its 1999 interface was just as ugly as mine, what I didn't have was P2P. And obviously, that was the "killer technology".

I'm increasingly of the opinion that only distributed open source social networks can be trusted. I'm currently on Diaspora, which is pretty nice, though lacking in some features. I want to look into Hubzilla or Friendica, which have the advantage of being able to share with both Diaspora and Mastodon.

I know a lot of Google+ refugees moved to MeWe, and they have Tim Berners-Lee on their board and supposedly implement his Solid standard that lets users own their own data, but I have no idea what that means exactly; it's still a proprietary network.

It might as well be so. The we’re using an enterprise distribution method which only allows distribution to company employees. This is grounds for account revocation. (Not their AppStore account, their enterprise account. )

That would be a nice project idea, exchanging the vocoder with something like wavenet and making it end-to-end.

The cool thing is that they published here (http://naplab.ee.columbia.edu/naplib.html) all their training data and code, so that should not be actually difficult.

Edit: My mistake, the data is not available, but they say in the paper that it is available under request..
I heard of this happening in Canada as well.
Sure, the penality is only usually paid for the access to the vector, unless the compiler need to spill the heap pointer.

The branch predicated on the test is executed speculatively, so the next load does not actually depended on the discriminant load and test so the dependency chain is actually shorter (1 load instead of two). If the code is bottlenecked by something other than the dependency chain length (for example number of outstanding loads) of course it doesn't matter, but dependency chains are usually the first bottleneck.

Music Piracy absolutely still exists although WhatCD going down hurt it a bunch. However, the real trick of music streaming sites is to build in all of the scrobbly/suggestion/organisation features in.

Piracy grows when it is more convenient than legal consumption. I'd rather download a torrent of a DvD I own than go and fetch it, put it in a cd tray, play it with shitty un-skippable intro etc. However - I'd rather spin a film up on Netflix than go hunting through a shitty folder structure of my own idiotic devising. I'd rather watch a series on netflix, which remembers where I am in the series and auto-plays next than manually load up episodes on the odd evening when I've got time.

Admittedly Netflix seems to be going out of its way to make the UI intolerably aggravating, but at some points it seemed pretty well done.

The harsh language there is not being "capable of understanding a brilliant language." I'm not aware of what was meant by a brilliant language, but I have to assume that it means research languages. I would not expect fresh grads to build production worthy code in any language, but especially not in a research languages (which typically are relegated to the realm of research because they are not capable of being used by large teams for the making of good software).

I'm in the business of creating value with good software, not ivory tower building that only a smaller proportion of software artisans can build and maintain.

> my goal is that even this should not need to exist: websites that genuinely load fast on their own, comparable to downloading the webpackage, should be ranked as high as AMP websites.

My understanding is this is also Malte's goal, and the goal of the Google Search folks. We need a way that Search can know that a website (a) will perform well and (b) can be preloaded in a privacy preserving manner. Right now only AMP can do this, but with Web Packages people will be able to do this without AMP. Once you can get (a) and (b) without AMP I will be super surprised if Search still prioritizes AMP.

(Disclosure: I work at Google, on making ads AMP so they don't get to run any custom JS. Speaking only for myself, not the company.)

When I used Max/MSP a few years ago, a lot of people's code snippets looked like this, however, an important thing to remember is that the target audience for most visual programming tools are not trained software engineers -- ie they don't know about encapsulation and abstraction and all of the other concepts we take for granted.

I found Max/MSP code could look extremely tidy, as I would group my functionality together in a similar way as I would in a textual language (short single-purpose functions and such). You can write horrible spaghetti code messes in textual languages too, its just we've used enough textual languages to have learned how to abstract our code and how to organise it for maintainability. Its not an inherent feature.

Yes, it would be unethical to both parties.

In the first case, it is unethical because you are taking advantage of someone's dire need to get a better price on an iPhone.

In the second case you are denying yourself a clear cut opportunity to really help someone in need.

To be in a position to help someone in such a state is a privilege that does not come around often.

Why do you keep saying things to this affect?

A company stiffing a supplier is going to rapidly find themselves without suppliers, or the supplier can afford to / accounts for being stiffed on some orders.

An independent contractor who works for one, or maybe two very similar types of, company is very much like an employee in every way that matters to that individual “independent” contractor, and literally nothing like a B2B supplier.

Additionally, you seem preoccupied with existing legislation as though it has some higher virtue, whereas in reality the law can be, and frequently is, unjust and absurd.

I know it's not the same from a technical standpoint but BitTorrent is still alive and well. Being peer-to-peer it could be considered a spiritual successor to Napster. I'm not ashamed to admit that I still use it to download movies or foreign TV shows that aren't legally available on the streaming services I use (at least in my region).

In my case it's strictly a case of availability - I happily pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime and Spotify as well as whatever software I use. I wish the content creators would wise up to this - Steam solved this issue for gaming years ago.
I agree completely. Scratch is a snap-together UI for traditional code. Just because the programming text is embedded inside draggable blocks doesn't make it a visual language, its a different UI for a text editor. Sure, its visual, but it doesn't actually change the language at all in any way. It could be just as easily represented as text, the semantics are the same. Its a more beginner-friendly mouse-centric IDE basically.
