You're telling me that the members of the Chinese government are not Chinese? Is the government run by foreigners? If they are in fact part of their culture, how they act is influenced by their culture. It doesn't matter whether it is a democracy or a dictatorship.

If the demonstrated values of a culture that isn't yours do not match up with your values, it is perfectly valid to not want to support those ill-values. That is not racism.
This is not about trade secrets.
Would be amazing.
There's no standard amount to pay for speeding ? I understand that anywhere in the world a cop can "find" something to charge you, but in the case of a speeding ticket I would expect some kind standard fine say $500 for 20mph or less and $1000 for more.
I think I'll submit a Subject Access Request, as I am sure I'm a member of the Caesars loyalty programme.
Yeah, as a rule of thumb I'd say "If Haskell doesn't already do this optimization, find out why."

I say "rule of thumb" and I mean it that way. Sometimes there will be Haskell-specific answers. But if your programming language has less code metadata available than Haskell but is promising more optimizations, it's worth a cross-check. I agree with you strongly in this particular case; without type system support for this specific case, it's going to be very hard to optimize away things like a sort. You start getting into the world of supercompilation and whole-program optimization, the primary problems of which for both of them is that they tend to have intractable O(...) performances... but something about them makes them seem intuitively easy. I've seen a number of people fall into that trap.

(I haven't personally, but I understand the appeal. My intuition says they shouldn't be that difficult too! But the evidence clearly says it is. Very, very clearly. We're talking about things like optimizations that are super-exponential in complexity, but seem intuitively easy.)
I'm wondering how brexit will affect Raspberry Pi pricing?

TL;DR: disable win defender.

Anyways, this is the first thing I do on a dev machine. Usually I remove any A/V completely, not just disable it. Because top of the line core-i7 machine with all "security" features enabled works no faster than venerable 486dx.
Visualizing World Wealth and Debt

When did that start? I left EE in about 2006 because I felt like all the employers were very demanding of specific skillsets and treated engineers like they were easily replaceable.
They often are not limited. In essence the company claims it owns all your creative output while you are employed.
A cliche example is "squares of values".

imperative code would be something like:

fn squares(array A)
array B;
for (idx, x) in A {
B[idx] = x * x
}
return B;
}

(or "B.add" or some other mutating action).
whereas 'declarative' code 'declares' what it wants:

fn squares(array A) {
return A.map { |x| x * x }
}

I think "declarative" is used more in terms of "declare the result you want, not how you'll get it". It's easier to focus on what the output of the program is with declarative code.

Higher-level abstractions are probably necessary, but I don't think it's fundamental to how I'd use the term.
:-) Although I wouldn't be surprised to see a variety of ways people use the term.
No, the US economy is strong. The problem is that big business lobbies for more H1B and illegal immigration to increase supply of labor and thus reduce wages and benefits. You also have cases of collusion like FAANG working together to suppress wages

The State of the Union is a prime example of how they rationalize it, with Trump saying "Our unemployment rate is too low" and that's why we need more immigration. That's how you get 40 years of stagnant wages and rising income inequality, every time the labor market tightens up we bring in more people

Meanwhile our workforce participation rate is below 70%. If wages rose people might actually come back into the workforce.
What about maybe getting groups of school kids in? I'm sure plenty would have their interest piqued and end up making a purchase (or their parents, depending on age)
Even in that context I think a learning space would be good. Apple runs classes in their Apple Stores, and I know a good number of (typically older) people who learned to use their iPad that way. Something similar for the Pi could bring in a new audience, not cater to existing hackers.
I mean, you need to be able to use your VM Manager tool to find out what is the IP/hostname of your guest.
I imagine the situation would be quite similar to how we handle maternity/paternity leave here in Canada, and it's rarely a problem.

Once its an accepted pattern, there are fewer surprises, and most people are understanding.
Contrary to the belief of whataboutists everywhere, it is actually possible to be concerned about more than one thing at a time.
EDIT: if the chart on the Anandtech review is true I have to take back what I wrote below. I didn't know the AMD Radeon Instinct MI50 (6.7 TFLOPS FP64, 16 GB memory with ECC and also 1 TB/s bandwidth) only costs 1000 USD, I expected it to be closer to the FirePro cards. So if you don't need active cooling this seems like a even better choice.

Good that AMD reverted their decision on FP64 which means the card has 3.5 TFlops.

The only real competitor in the consumer space seems to be the Nvidia Titan V which has 6.9 TFlops, 12 GByte of memory with 652.8 GB/s and costs 3000 USD.

The Radeon 7 only has half of the TFLOPS for FP64 but 16 GByte with 1024 GB/s and only costs 700 USD.

I don't have a use case for double precision but I'm sure people who need it will like the card.
I'm surprised that he did actually have perfect pitch.
Is that the African, or European Sooty Tern?
It was not just about the size. I experienced major issues with cgo.
I'm more interested in the language/DSL behind the diagrams. It can look really nice, but if there is no easy/trivial way to model everything it you might as well just throw stuff together in HTML/CSS.
>In contrast, take music recommendations. If I give you a series of suggested songs, can you detect a pattern?

It seems to me that there has been a lot of success in recommendation engines (i.e. Spotify, the "Netflix Algorithm", etc). Maybe not so much on a smaller scale, but large companies are using recommendation engines all the time to keep user's engaged.

Other than that, I agree with the rest of the post. The eagerness to throw ML at any and everything can be kind of exhausting. When used right, it can be super powerful but sometimes a simpler method that achieves 80% of the results may be enough for certain use cases.
Most registrars won’t let you search under three chars. Reach out directly to the ccTLD managing group and see what they have available a-z-0-9. With enough persistence you may find one.
raises hand

My current workload is mostly a bunch of data-collect scripts (hitting APIs, building a CSV, loading that to cloud storage and databases), plus prototyping small web apps for internal limited span projects. Testing doesn't make much sense for our current tasks, but I also really don't want to be left in the dust.
Oh, I had been looking for something like this for the desktop, thanks for mentioning it!

On iOS there’s a setting buried deeply in accessibility settings, I think it’s called white point correction.
The article doesn't have details, really— but as the leave is unpaid I gather most of the costs would come in the form of any production delays or HR/admin. This makes me curious as to whether there are grants or subsidies from the government in support of the program.
The problem with separate systems is that when you want to look up something you don’t know where to look unless it fits exactly into certain categories. Right now we use OneNote within the team for everything. It’s not perfect but at least I know where to look.

I agree, but the downside is that you'll be spoilt for most of the rest of the genre, because little else measures up. Perhaps read everything else first.

Amazon Prime currently has an adaptation of Consider Phlebas in the pipeline, something I have very mixed feelings about.
One of my side projects that's also work related but also done on my own time is a cli-focused wrapper around the aws boto3 library. I ended up writing my own test library once it reached that point where, well you want tests before every commit ... I'd hardly call it "hobby" testing though.
It definitely can and does work for similar situations in other languages. It’s fragile though as aliasing accidentally somewhere or adding other kinds of uncertainty around which values are returned makes sinking the return allocation into the caller, a required prerequisite, much more likely to fail.

A good way to imagine this is having return value optimizations give you a copy which is placed on the original which allows the work to be skipped. But that can require a whole lot of other trades around calling conventions, optimization boundaries and so on. C++ has dealt with some of this complexity recently but it’s nuances too years to sort out between standard revisions and only became required in some cases rather than legal until after compilers had plenty of time to work on it.
African Sooty Terns are non-migratory.
Well, I would argue that while being data driven often has a first mover advantage, eventually this is arbitraged away. The first few movers reap a lot of the benefits, and by the time everyone starts to replicate a similar methodology, it is either too hard to catchup, or there are too many dogs chasing the same car. A good example of this would be banks in 2008. The quants were looking at only the underlying statistics, and not conceptualizing that the historic data didn’t account for housing bubble, low rates, zero down, etc.
Brit here. I'd personally never use "store" except for "department store", but it's use does seem to be becoming more prevelant.
A long time ago (2006), I picked up 'How to simplify your life'. I bought it off a store because it had pictures in it and I thought it would be easy reading. chuckle

It turned out to be better than it looked. I highly recommend it.

I sang in a children’s choir growing up. There were several kids with perfect pitch over the years. It’s an incredible skill; they really do get the pitch exactly right - even better than the piano.
All of the specific legal definitions indicate alleged violation of criminal law, and the example text for that Google search (obstruction of a highway) is also criminal, not civil.

I'm not aware of any common usage of "prosecute" that refers to civil complaints.
Perhaps now they could be sued for giving a future shooter ideas? You are probably right, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
Hey, what's up, I'm the developer of ilograph (so WildGreenLeave is correct). Glad you find it interesting! It's still in early stages, so I'm definitely interested in feedback to make it better. Also, if there's something you'd like to see modeled next, let me know! I haven't decided on the next demo subject yet.
> "Definitions don't belong to committees"

> "[...]irony in the OSI talking about open source like they own it[...]"

The definition (and it's authority/legitimacy) belongs to (i.e. owned by) a community of contributors, very much like an open source project, not a committee (i.e. the OSI Board of Directors). Currently there are 508 members in the OSI's "License Discuss", and 266 members in the "License Review" communities. These are open to anyone to join, and participate in. These groups define "open source" as expressed trough licensing.

The Open Source Definition, as well as OSI Approved Open Source Licenses have been modified through the consensus of these communities (e.g. the addition of a 10th criterion to the OSD, and work around open source license proliferation).

(Full disclosure, I am currently the General Manager at the OSI).
The Johnny Cabs in Total Recall spring to mind.

The Will Smith I, Robot had shifting between auto and self driving modes as a plot point too if I remember rightly.

It feels like there are some good stories to tell around them too. I'm personally jealous of the generation of students who will get to wake up with a hangover in a car half way across the country, heading towards somewhere that seemed like a great idea the night before.
Minority Report (at least the film) has self-driving cars.

Eh, there are two jerks in that situation, usually, and either could be considerate of inconsiderate.

You've got three drivers, A, doing whatever, we'll assume speed limit +0.

Then you've got B, doing speed limit +5 and closing the gap between him and A in the right lane.

And finally you've got C, doing speed limit +10 in the left lane, coming up behind B.

B could be considerate in that they are assuming that C, being the sort of crazy speed limit who drives faster than themselves, would prefer the chance to accelerate to +15 or +20 and pass both A&B before the A/B pass is executed, but C isn't going to do that because they're happy doing +10 and not a penny over. Or they could be the inconsiderate jerk who isn't paying attention to C at all.

C could be considerate in that they assume B wants to be going faster than +5 and are giving them an opportunity to pass A and go at least +10, but B is happy going +5 and doesn't want to go a penny over. Or they could be an inconsiderate jerk who just wants to drive +10 in the left lane and thinks everyone should get out of their way.

The end result is that B ends up pissed off that that asshole C refused to pass him and then tailgates him for the next 30 seconds until the pass is complete, while C ends up pissed off that the asshole B waited until the last second to pass and then did so extremely slow.

A stays blissfully happy so long as neither B not C hit him, and B doesn't merge back too aggressively while completing the pass, forcing him to decelerate, or C attempts to pass B on the right because B is taking to long to merge, again forcing A to decelerate to maintain proper following distance.

In any case, both B&C are jerks for exceeding the speed limit and then acting entitled about it.
Let's be clear on this: the store is not located in Cambridge because there is a particularly large untapped market there. It is located in Cambridge because of the Pi's ties to the city. Maybe the huge success of the device means that there is active pressure on the RPi folks to diversify or to create a physical manifestation of the brand. Maybe a bricks and mortar store is just a vain indulgence, though I'd hope not.

The RPi has always been about the "technically sweet", not about maximum penetration into new markets.
Agreed, I certainly didn't want to learn TDD by doing TDD at work (and potentially torpedo my own efficiency) so I did it on contrived side projects.
But they're cutting shopper compensation at the same time!

> In addition, Instacart also said it would adjust the minimum pay per delivery to between $7 and $10 for deliveries for which the driver buys and delivers the groceries, and $5 for delivery-only jobs. Previously, Instacart guaranteed $10 per delivery, but sometimes included customer tips in that amount.

What shady behaviour! I'm guessing Instacart did the math on average tips and figured out that with a $5 delivery guarantee + tips shoppers would be back up to around $10 on average.

Edit: Yup, that's exactly what happened.

> “With an average tip of $5, our customers regularly recognize shoppers with tips for the services they provide."
me too. I can't even hear any difference between 1hz intervals around 440.
While true, that’s misleading as this is generally for class assignments not published research.

Some overlap does exist, but it’s significantly less than suggested by the requirement.
There are exceptions where the superiority of computers is acknowledged but the lack of use is intended, like Dune.
I agree. Macros only help the programmer. They significantly decrease code readability imo. Code readability is more about how easy it is to understand what is going on than about how much stuff there is to read.
Or maybe people should wait until they're in a position where they don't have to resort to such behavior in order to support their offspring.
I only use Facebook in a special VM that I spin up every time I want to use it. The VM is attached to its own network card that is used for nothing else, and I run a script that randomizes the MAC address once an hour. The email address was randomly generated and the domain is hosted on a Kubernetes cluster of Digital Ocean instances. Yet, Maserati of Yazoo City, MS, is still targeting me.
+1 For Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. This book lead me to accept a lot of parts of myself and seek to integrate all those parts together. I credit it with starting the journey that changed my life.
Yes, and it seemed to be the one thing that can be put on hold without negative consequences, in contrast to sleep and family. I still do some lighter things on the side (like DevLids.com), but nothing that takes much time like game-dev.
I'm interested to know how the language handles memory; automatic memory reclamation without a GC and that is simpler than Rust seems like a very attractive proposition.
I had a cracked game on my Apple IIe which included a side program (included by the cracker) that played 3-channel beethoven sonata.

"all those space battles would be pretty boring without humans to run the ships."

I seem to remember that in one of the Culture novels they mention that it's about 10,000 years since anyone had the title "Captain" on one of their ships - and even then it wasn't a serious role.

"I am not an animal brain, I am not even some attempt to produce an AI through software running on a computer. I am a Culture Mind. We are close to gods, and on the far side."

Letting a human command a Culture warship would be like letting a bacteria command the USS Nimitz.
You might still get strobe effects where your 500hz sensing nerves eg get a 400hz signal from a 20khz source.
Spotify recommendation engine is half the reason I use Spotify.
Well, since the author asks so nicely, let me answer. I do not consider that code to be elegant.

Just count how many possible errors you can make on a simple templating DSL, and then count how many errors you can make on that dsDSL one. One is clearly better than the other.

I would say that all the problems enumerated there come from a bad selection of DSLs to study. It's perfectly understandable that the author chooses templating languages, and I don't know of any better templating DSL to put there, but that only evidences that we lack an actually good templating DSL (outside of the scope of Tex). That just shows that text templating is hard, not that DSLs are inherently problematic.

For evidence that the problem is not with the concept of DSLs itself, just try to write the same article using SQL as an example. You can't.
I think we may have worked together in the past. Lol
I think most of them later had positronic brains, especially in the short stories and Foundation saga.
What Happens When a News Site Bans Its Writers from Twitter?
Not really - these Likert question studies are so much easier to click through rapidly. You can double or triple your hourly rate depending on how bold you are. Would a college student cheat their psychology department out of 10 dollars? Maybe some.

I wonder how much shrinkage (wasted questionnaires) they have to account for? Pun semi-intended.
It's the "if everyone did this..." rule.

I play my own part in this massive economy that exists of selling data to be used in Facebook ads (Google and other big tech companies do it, too). To me, it's the number one most dangerous thing that has happened to the web. It's my belief that you can make a direct tie from this type of advertising to the layoffs of journalists. That's a more complicated argument than I have time and space for here, but that's why it's an important issue to me -- I think it's a problem for democracy.

Edit: I also tell people I do this to spread the word about the practice and FB's failure to provide proper privacy tools -- in person, but also in forums like I did here.
I agree completely, but the issue is that the vulnerability value is asymmetric. It's about $1m to get an iPhone no-click RCE. Up to about $4m for one with a seemingly long shelf life. Apple is not going to pay $Xm for their bug bounty.

That said, that there will be some that continue to engage in illegal activity doesn't mean we shouldn't make it illegal in the first place. I'd even be in favour of treating certain classes of vulnerability sale as an act of terrorism or treason or arms export violation.

I know it is hard, but we have to try to solve this.

Well, yes, I would say this applies to to Google, too:

> (i) Facebook-owned services like WhatsApp and Instagram can continue to collect data. However, assigning the data to Facebook user accounts will only be possible subject to the users’ voluntary consent. Where consent is not given, the data must remain with the respective service and cannot be processed in combination with Facebook data.

https://www.bundeskartellamt.de/SharedDocs/Meldung/EN/Presse...

Google and Microsoft both combined user data under one account to "improve users' experience", and gave up the practice of deanonymizing the collected data in the process, because "who's going to stop us, right?!":

>and can play full HD movies

Can you be more specific? "Full HD" usually refers to 1080p, which all Raspberry Pi models can easily handle for h264 video due to their hardware decoder. The Raspberry Pi 3 can handle most other formats through software just fine, though it may struggle with more intense formats like 10 bit h265. For that, an Odroid C2 may be what you're looking for. They advertise:

One more tech company scandal
Exactly. It was briefly mentioned in the article too. Sweden already has a mature maternity/paternity system in place, and companies handle those just fine (in most cases, if they're doing any kind of planning and thinking). Thus they can handle these kinds of leaves as well - it's minor when you compare to the number of maternity/paternity leaves, there's much more of the latter. And (as it was mentioned in the article), it is possible to say 'no' to the leave if the employee's position is crucial (presumably there are definitions for what the actually means). Or hold it off for some time. Unlike with maternity/paternity leaves.

I wish there was something like this in my country as well.
USA, had few from bay area as well. I work in the mornings or just read the news and learn some new things since I am more-or-less on holidays now and will start looking for full-time contract more actively soon.

No. Here's what the info box says about that existing privacy feature:

That has nothing to do with non-Facebook companies. It's something else entirely.
if you can only funnel people into the state sanctioned lottery by increasing enforcement in immigrant communities, doesn't that imply the numbers games in those communities are offering better odds than the state implementation? if so, what exactly is the state monopoly protecting us from?
