This is a big issue for Google. I know many people with a deep distrust of anything Google and personally I’m avoiding them whereever I can. Google doesn’t understand that support isn’t something that can be offloaded to a forum. Not in B2B and especially not in the enterprise world. The only way to get solid support for a product is to spend 1M/year on Adwords.

>Still, he said WhatsApp has a zero-tolerance policy around child sexual abuse, and that about 250,000 accounts are banned each month for sharing vile content. "We ban users from WhatsApp if we become aware they are sharing content that exploits or endangers children," he said.

That's a staggering number.
They'd have to abduct hundreds of thousands of people (or clone a bunch), edit their genes, and release them back into their countries of origin. And then it would take a few generations.

Are Skype for Business and Skype even related to each other? I always thought Skype for Business was just Lync with a Skype-like theme.
> dropping 0-Day
Does that convey reporting 0 day exploits
For instance in robotics, the inverse kinematics could be formulated using the well-known equations, and combined with a CNN for vision, maybe do reinforcement learning across the whole thing. Or in audio classification, could use standard filterbanks construction for creating a time-frequency (spectrogram) representation, then combined with a CNN for classification.

Right now these things are done either:
1) Unstructured end-2-end learning, where a deep neural network has to discover the laws of physics unaided by structure. The models are massively over-parametrized, require a lot of data to train and vulnerable to adverse inputs.
2) As independent systems, optimized separately. If the first model is complex, the model that follows must usually reflect this complexity. A simpler global solution might exist, but cannot be found.

It is however super early days. Right now there are hints that going in this direction might be fruitful, but as far as I know, not many concrete wins or a lot of practice. That will take some years still.
As someone currently employed as a .net developer, I’m not sure I would say the same.
You mean humans?

AFAIK human "races" are largely superficial biologically - there are some correlations, but weaker than the variability between individuals.

Eigen won his Nobel at 40.

Death rates in middle age are really quite low, so I doubt it has much of an effect.

Regardless, there have been studies showing a Nobel adds quite a significant number of years to life expectancy. And while I don’t remember the details, they would have certainly benchmarked against a group that factors in such confounding factors. I believe one study compared to people who were expected to get a Nobel, but did not.

As to mechanism: getting a Nobel is probably the closest you can get to in today’s world to being told you did enough, and no longer have tompsrticipate in the rat race. Oscar winners are expected to go on and win many more. Even Ex-Presidents areprobably less at ease, seeing their work being slowly dismantled by an idiot elephant in corrupt China shop.

It’s really a unique datapoint, putting an exact number on the cost of constant struggle inflicted on us by the demands of the system we have created ourselves.
> Windows 95 in a VM

Puh-lease! I log into a VMS server every day to access an application that saw it's last update in 1995. Which wasn't even deployed until 2001. It will be replaced this year with a Win95 era application, complete with acres of giant grey buttons, served over a Citrix link from VMs running Server 2008. Bleeding edge, boys, bleeding edge.

Both code memory and data memory will be shared by any modern OS. The code memory will of course be shared since it's the same, and the data memory will be shared until modified. Then that memory page will be copied for the process that changed it (check out copy-on-write).

And then there's disk memory, which isn't as important IMO but still it will of course be smaller since you don't ship the whole browser stack for each application.

That's exactly what I said to newer developers about SQL. Another two examples of this sort of skills are git and regex. Most people knows how to use them but don't dive into them that deep and you just need to spend very little time -hours, or days at most- and you will better than most people at them.
Depends a lot on the actual access patterns of your data.

Yup. Thing is: with RDBMSs you are in control of both the storage patterns and the access patterns of your data. That's where a large part of the performance benefit comes from.

Did you implement a storage pattern that was ordered by key (or hash(key) if you used hashing)?

A lot of things jQuery did can now be done with vanilla javascript so including a non-standard (in a way) code for things that already work in "standard" javascript is what doesn't make sense anymore.
The forbid unsafe crate feature seems nice. It would however be much more useful if crates.io would allow to filter based on it? Or that one could specify in Cargo to not have dependencies with unsafe in it?
About 6k+ people use it in my org - the vast majority are not devs.
> Can you drop your top level component into another application with different children and still have it work?

Yes, it's a matter of passing the child into the parent as a prop.

> Can you move the child components to another view tree and still have them work?

Yes, this sort of thing is exactly what you get for free by doing things the way I describe.

> In the ideal react app architecture you should be able to take any component and move it anywhere else in the app and it should Just Work.

This is exactly not what happens in Redux projects in my experience.
I don't think New York City's MTA even covers its operating costs out of revenue.
Yet another example where "think of the children" is abused to crack down on human rights.

India's government should stop going after messaging apps and rather try to find out the root causes of the problems they see: lynchings and brutal sexual violence have nothing to do with Whatsapp, they're indicators of a widespread cultural problem.

This is simply not true. If deflation is low, it is not a big issue, much like low inflation isn't a major issue. Hyperdeflation causes problems, as does hyperinflation.

The arguments against deflation don't really add up. There are numerous examples of deflation working in economies today. Example: Cars which lose 20% of their value upon purchase, and around 10% per year until they're worth scrap metal.

If the Keynesian economists are to be believed, then nobody would ever buy a car! If they just held onto the money, it would be worth more than the car will be worth 1 year later. What reason would anyone ever have to invest in a car? For some odd reason, nearly 80 million people do it every year.

Computers and Moore's law are another example. Why would anyone buy a computer now when they can just wait 18 months and buy one twice as powerful?

People change their spending habits when deflation occurs, moving from high time preference to a lower time preference, but investment doesn't stop. The most savvy investors will take the opportunity to try and increase their assets by productive means, so as to compound the effects of the deflation.

If people end up out of bullshit jobs, perhaps they could learn to code or something, instead of begging to state to steal other people's money.
I'd say it's mostly that our brain has ~resistance (ideas are complex network, and we all have our own). Taking time ensure deep massaging. Also being relaxed and not hurried is probably a more favorable state of mind to "massage". It also allows for daydreaming about related ideas and inspirations that the text causes. Pleasure breeds memory and understanding.
Just because others do bad things doesn't make it OK for you to do bad things.

The biggest complain I read about is javascript downloads being so big nowadays so piling on with jQuery--or anything else--just because frameworks and other libraries are so bloated doesn't make it OK.

Reminds me of all the “dubious security vulnerability” stories on the Old New Thing blog, e.g. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20111215-00/?p=... where MSFT needs to investigate obviously bogus “security problems” just to be sure they didn’t miss anything important.
Thanks for telling it's everywhere. I immediately closed the tab when spotted the first "Apollo". Actually when I saw the title "Principled", I almost not-clicking it. Also these frontend stuff REALLY like "modern" word so much.
At least for me, webapps are just 1 in a thousand tabs open in 500 browser windows (ok, I exaggerate a bit). For an app with it's own window I can just hit a shortcut and said app gets focus.

'With'-clauses (aka Common Table Expressions) allows you to name and compose subqueries much more cleanly.

Your preferred interface sounds like Linq. An IQueryable<T> interface represent a query and can be composed and assigned to variables, and the type T represent the type of the relation or projection. Linq composes a lot more elegantly than SQL itself. The instances does not represent intermediate results though, they represent composed queries, which are executed in one go on demand. But I think that is what you want anyway.
Nope, it's not, it's more like a spiritual successor to the Sinclair C5 than anything else.

Well, the same mindset you have there with "What's wrong with just going to work...", you should also apply to the opposite point of view: "What's wrong with wanting to change jobs every couple of years?".

There's nothing inherently wrong with either option.

You might not understand, but I think it would be worth to exercise empathy and try to understand it, instead of passing judgement. The OP is doing precisely this, not passing judgement and asking for help to exercise empathy.

Just because you personally disagree, that does not mean my ideals are somehow thoughtless or not fully formed.

I bought my first mobile phone because I needed to call people when not near a landline, and I chose a Nokia because that's what my parents had and recommended. I got my first smartphone at work, because they wanted us to have email and a web browser available on the go (I work at a major telco), they chose the specific model for me (and have done so for every one of my work phones since). I bought my first smartphone for similar reasons, which I chose because it was the next version of one I had at work. My current phone was chosen because it has longer battery life than the other phones I looked at, which I discovered by looking at spec sheets.

Advertising did not play into it, I had specific needs that I wanted to cover, and I sought out the information I needed to make an informed choice.

You seem to think that advertising is the primary (or only) source of information about new products and services, which is just blatantly false. I live my life as free from advertising as I can possibly make it. Will some ads inevitably sneak in, as paid-for articles or the like? Sure, but I do try to avoid them whenever possible, it is usually relatively easy to spot product placement or fluff pieces.

Everyone should try living without ads everywhere. It's rather nice. I don't care about buying stuff just because I've heard of it. I only buy things if I have specific needs that I need to cover, and I don't impulse buy anything.
The Romans also did a pretty good job with lead.
They are touting it specifically in the context of the visualization of very large datasets.

The fact that their software exists is itself a breakthrough. It enabled me to do things that other equivalent tools (such as in statistical packages) could not allow. I would have been reduced to directly implementing my rendering pipelines, and I would also have had to make many of the same design decisions they made, such as doing things out of core.
Agile vs. Waterfall Methodologies for Software Development
"but I don’t believe opinion pieces should be behind a paywall"

Why not (assuming you aren't totally against paywalls)?

I can understand being against basic news reporting being behind a paywall, but opinion is like a newpaper's value add, it's USP.
in that regard it’s mostly in the first few paragraphs but it’s subtley stated...

If you have a model and somecparameter space on it your trying to optimise then you can’t do much other than search the whole parameter space or approximate such a search intelligently.

However, if your model is differeniable with respect to its parameters then it means you’ve got gradient ... and if you’ve got gradient then you can cut out a lot of searching because you can use gradient ascent and other such techniques .

So basically: differentiable means can be differentiated which means has gradient which means search less.

The rest of the article basically says that’d be nice because there is a way to think about differentiability modularly and therefore there may be a route to Lego things together from across fields to make uber models which still optimise well but use specialist knowledge.

The parameter space stuff just means that less knowledge means more data and more parameters which is bad.
This was truly a good product. We mostly MySQL at my workplace and MySQL workbench gave me a lot of headaches due to it being sluggish(this may just be me experiencing it) until I discovered TeamSQL. It worked really well and I loved the fact that my queries were synced to my account and I could access those queries anywhere. Plus the most important thing was that, TeamSQL was really light weight and fast. Can anyone suggest a similar product?
Not that frightening for this specific case. A gene drive is distributed by reproduction, and the major effect is that it is passed down far more efficiently than any trait subject to the usual genetic rules.

Humans reproduce far slower than mosquitoes, and if someone managed to modify a few humans, there would likely be plenty of time to detect it and fix or contain it in some way.

It probably already can. I'm not an expert, but from what I understand CRISPR targets specific DNA sequences. Race can be determined by DNA testing, therefore I think (again, I'm not an expert) that there would be certain sequences that are specific to a race.

Now CRISPR alters the specific sequence that it targets. In fact, CRISPR only cuts the DNA at that sequence, other proteins must be employed to change and then fix the DNA. It may be well enough to simply cut up a specific race's DNA and leave it at that. Or if those cells die off too fast, splice in some garbage DNA that will at least let the cell reproduce.
Looks to be the latter.
Ah, my mistake. I know that CPython and matplotlib both have a lib/ directory, but you're right that that's where they keep the Python code and they keep the C code in Modules/ and src/, respectively.

Also I may have confused this with the src/ layout in the past and put my own C extensions into lib/. Thanks for the survey, I think I've been harboring this misconception for a while now.
Runtimes and the Curse of the Privileged Container
Can you elaborate? Does that mean that if you something that your "good bacteria" likes, then you'll have nice dreams, and if you eat something your "bad bacteria" likes you'll have nightmares? Or how exactly would that work? Or are you just referring to being able to dream at all being linked to having enough good bacteria?
It was fun reading the book as I was embedded in all the blue, black and red of wire wrapping my own boards for a mini-computer I designed and built for a company back then. There were times when I wondered if I was doing the right thing and to see that others did the same as I made me feel much better.
SimpleDB is probably a good example. You can find 5 year old threads discussing whether Amazon is going to kill it. But it appears to still be there.

why did this hurt them? I thought appengine was great when i used it (granted, i never paid them for it - the free tier was way too generous).
I fell in love again with SQL while working in my current position. What _really_ made me fall in love was the project dbt[0] which is a SQL compiler and executor. You can build a DAG of transformations all the way from your raw data to tables ready for viewing in your BI tool or consumption by your ML model. I'm still amazed at the things I can do with SQL alone without having to bring Python into the picture.

Also, I had the pleasure of meeting Craig at PyTennessee a few years back. Really great guy and yes, he does seem to wear a hat all the time!

The irony of talking about "regular people" and then using Slack as somebody "regular people" actually use.

"Regular people" are likely to encounter electron by using Telegram or Whatsapp on the desktop, or some recent MS product like Skype. Whether they care or not about bloat, I don't know. I know those chat programs used to have annoying problems with cut & paste and not supporting basic assistive technology (i.e. the "emoji keyboard"), but I have to admit they got better with time; if those fixes have made it upstream to Electron, then things are improving. They are still horribly opaque to native OS services like sharing facilities and whatnot, but it looks like OS developers themselves are throwing all that away these days, so...

I expect the real issue Electron might never solve is real support for more advanced assistive tech for the visually-impaired and other disabled people. That stuff barely works with traditional desktop tech as it is. Obviously that has never been an obstacle in the market at large, it mostly plays a part in public-procurement processes.
Looks like there are a few people actually running it :)

They aren’t, however, so uniform that an attack based on presence or absence of a handful of polymorphisms together could form anything like a perfect classifier and therefore target. Race and genetics are related, but not so closely as to facilitate this.
I work at a business with a business support plan - 10% of your monthly spend.

I have had a 100% success rate. For example I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to configure a cross account CodePipeline work flow, the support guy did what he could while we were on chat, but eventually, he just asked me to export my pipeline definition, spent the next day researching, called me back and walked me through it with a screen share.

You basically can’t do it via the console.

That's the curious thing: the owner does have final authority, but if they choose to exert it, they lose what they own (as the character of the publication changes).
