I held out on Windows 7 for a long time, but I have to say that now Windows 10 has matured I actually really like it.

In particular I like the high-DPI capabilities, improved console, WSL, Windows Containers, Windows Defender and even the new Start Menu (after removing all the games and cruft, and replacing tiles with things I actually want).
I wrote "buyer," not "user" or "complainer." I have no problem with self-appointed Good Samaritans who leave anti-Lexmark Amazon reviews. But a buyer of a car requiring the manufacturer's gas would understand what he or she was getting into.

Because "This vulnerability is mitigated on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 if SELinux is in enforcing mode." Which is the default when you install OpenShift - opposed to a gazillion of server software packages that advise you to deactivate SELinux.
Intern at a top tech company like Google or FB, and (I’ve heard as of this year) you’re looking at like $8-$9k/month plus housing and even your laundry taken care of for you (specifically FB here).

Meanwhile, the top HFs and prop traders will pay the same or better (often higher pay, no housing). Jane Street is a big one (esp. if you go to Brown), Citadel isn’t even top-notch and will offer that, and then obviously D.E. Shaw, Renaissance, Two Sigma, and so forth.
Because ants are close genetic relatives of wasps, then ant eggs might do this also.
It does, but is it a first-class citizen as it is in RHEL and CentOS? Also OpenShift is finely tuned to run with SELinux. This is something you would have to do yourself on another platform with, say, Kubernetes and SELinux.

Load Testing in Python – Production Safe
The core problem isn't the filter. The problem is how a lot of data with copyright status 'unknown' will get swept into the category 'copyrighted' even if most of it probably isn't.

Thinking about how to defeat the filter, while an interesting technical challenge, is irrelevant. No technological measure has made any dent in piracy. This was never a technology problem, it is a legal, social and moral one. Solving it with technology simply makes you a criminal, which like smoking pot will be ignored by the law until the law has a reason to look deeper into you.

To wit, there is plenty of stuff today where the filter can't determine what it is. E.g. people playing old classical music, but some bigcorp has CDs with that same music. The problem is the filter errs on the side of blocking too much. This will also happen with the white noise if your scheme gets popular.

Most of the last paragraph is incorrect, BTW. A creative step is always done by a human, never by a server, BTW. If the filter fails, the publisher of your video is on the hook for copyright infringement. The GDPR explicitly allows companies to gather data if there is a law requiring them to, so please don't open that can of worms - You don't want the Internet filter block access unless you install a browser plugin that scans your hard drive, for example.
Great! Haven't seen that happening in a while.
For reference, using the Earth as a measure, we are about 150 x 10^9 metres from the Sun, acceleration due to gravity is about 10 m/s^2, and a=v^2/R.

So the speed required is about sqrt( 10 x 150 x 10^9 ) which is about 1.22 x 10^6 m/s. Light speed is about 3 x 10^8, so this is about 0.4% of c.

So yes, we're coming into the realm of relativity.

I think peer-reviewed publications measure something closer to "sprint points closed" or "major releases shipped" than commits (because you can break commits nearly arbitrarily small, where a too insignificant paper will fail peer-review).

A primary purpose of an academic researcher is to contribute to the field via research, largely measured by accepted publications where they are the first (did most of the work and writing) or last (group leader/principal investigator) author.

I hate that shit. It basically ensures that if any identity thief in the world wants to know your full name and birthday, they just have to call you and ask. It also implies that knowing your name and birthday is an acceptable level of verification for disclosing private information. Which is it? Is the (name, birthdate) pair so private that it can serve as an authentication mechanism or is it so public that you can be expected to tell any random caller who asks?
In reply to your edit:

> I’d prefer nuclear reactors not be built in the developed world to Chinese standards.

It's a bit more ambiguous today with solar etc. being much cheaper, but this sort of sentiment has been common over the years, and has doomed millions to an early death due to coal emissions.

Obviously it's nobody's serious policy suggestion that we literally dig up a 60s reactor design and mass-manufacture it as-is today.

The point is that we've been getting nuclear policy so wrong since then that we'd have been better today off in terms of the trolley problem of harm reduction if we did that, v.s. building the coal plants we've been building instead.

Any concerns about the safety of specific power generation methods that don't take into account what the realistic alternatives just amount to intellectual masturbation.

It would be like being so concerned about the safety of Ford (nuclear) v.s. Tesla (solar), that you've decided to instead ride a moped (coal) at highway speeds for decades out of some sort of misplaced decision paralysis, because you didn't yet have money for a Tesla.

> And now with other changes that Google successfully pushed, such as https everywhere, http/2 and http/3 is nearly impossible to block ads through a proxy.

I agree with everything except this. First, http/2 and http/3 absolutely do not prevent blocking. If blocking proxies don't support them, then they're the ones lagging behind.

Secondly, most blocking software working on the network layer use DNS, which still works just fine and will likely continue to work forever.

Thirdly, you can still, for the most part, MITM https connection on devices you own. You just need to install your own root ssl certificate. The only thing that prevents this from working would be HSTS preloading.

EDIT: Actually, adding your own root cert bypasses HSTS preloading.

That would depend on what one means by internship.

If the institution doesn't care and the company expects the intern to do work they'd expect from an (however underperforming) employee, which is what all too often happens, then the case is clearcut and I fully agree.

But if the institution expects the company to show the student around and give them a lot of tutoring, then the case is less clearcut. I've mentored a few interns in that scenario myself, and it can easily take a day per week on average. Requiring companies to pay such interns more than something symbolic can make the companies a lot less willing to take interns to begin with. The side effect of that is that it then reenforces the early career problem of "all jobs require x years experience; how am I to get those years of experience if I can't apply to any job?"

Absolutely! Even in cities like Bangalore, far away from SV but still big, Uber (and Ola) created a new market altogether. In Bangalore for instance, hiring a taxi was an amazingly painful experience; in terms of lack or convenience as well as exorbitant price. Until Uber/Ola came along I had hired a taxi maybe 5 times in 9 years. Since then I've almost stopped using my cars. Uber/Ola has become my daily commute as well as for any errand etc.

Another aspect that's not discussed much is the drastic reduction of cognitive load. Earlier moving around in a city would require lot of planning - route planning, parking etc,. All of that is now a thing of history. And don't get me started on how ridiculously inefficient is car ownership and how mentally and physically taxing commute driving is!

Landing a faculty spot is about one thing: how much money will you bring in for the department you’re applying to? All these other metrics (paper count, references) are simply indicators of your potential to do that.

Obtaining funding is a function of your existing publication record, network (read: relationships with program directors), but also your ability to sell new ideas particularly as a member of an interdisciplinary team. You can be the best in your area but if you don’t offer synergy with a dept’s other PIs it’s probably a no go.

Singapore's Proposed Model for AI Governance
There is no such thing as a dated method for creating a 3d game. There are many kinds of games and many pros and cons for creating them different ways. It is popular these days to tell people to use Unity3D, and it is an amazing tool but there are also downsides to using it vs rolling your own thing from scratch too.

Royalties, risk of you game ending up unplayable in 10 years, running into limitations you can't fix because you don't have the source, performance ceilings you can't change, bugs you can't fix.

On the other hand if you do things from scratch you can spend years and years and years.

Not sure about the Future of CoreOS, though: "With the acquisition, Container Linux will be reborn as Red Hat CoreOS, a new entry into the Red Hat ecosystem.

Contrary to your beliefs there is lot's of data in favor of an all plant based diet (which i do not follow so I do not push any agenda here).

The data has been pretty clear since the early 90s and the large population studies that were made then.
y[i] = x[i] * c + (x[i - 1] * c + y[i - 2] * (1 - c)) * (1 - c)

So you can compute y[i]=f(y[i-n],x) for any n, but that doesn't give you intermediary results : all y[i-j] for j between n and 0...

I feel like trying to compute (y[i-j] for j between n and 0) on the GPU (n+1 things to compute in parallel here) would not be efficient because the more you increase n the more y[i] becomes really longer to compute (at least linear with n) and you'll need to wait for the calculus of y[i] to finish before having the result of the result of y[i-n]. What am I not seeing here ?

Once again the U.S. has been caught on the back foot. We are late in responding to GDPR and by now the scope has changed. The real issue is that there is no regulatory body for the protocols of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Market driven responses develop slowly, and in the meantime the various competitive solutions will turn the marketplace into a spaghetti junction. We still don't have an eCoin, no direction on the potential issues with Blockchain, the web is, and continues to be leaky and DARPA is dragging their heels in spite of being offered solutions. Currently the Web has over 3000 specifications, and the corporations behind the W3c want to maintain control rather than working toward solutions. Meantime, our friends toward the far East are better organized, and are working toward control. This is path-dependent work and whoever controls next-gen ecommerce will maintain command of commerce for a long time. We're in trouble, and the Academy appears to be incapable of finding a solution. Treating GDPR is working on the symptoms rather than addressing the root causes. It's time to wake the f*ck up! --John Bottoms, inventor of the browser

Just apply to those jobs anyway. Past a certain amount of experience hardly anyone will care about your education. Until then, your biggest hurdle will be HR folks who might discard your CV before the hiring manager gets to see it. To maximize your chances of getting interviews, do your best to go around them (meet them and their staff at meet-ups or by working on OSS projects they participate in, etc.), or avoid them entirely (small companies don't often have any HR staff).
Windows 10 Will Soon Let You Access WSL Linux Files from Explorer
I think it’s really valuable to share more failure stories. Lessons learned are common from successes but I have a hard time seeing earnest, true failure stories that help me learn. I mean true failure as ones that don’t involve a super successful person reflecting on a failure that had a silver lining (eg, Odeo->Twitter years into Twitter’s success; countless TED talks) not because they aren’t valuable, they are, but because they are safe and are musings that all have survivor bias because the really bad failures are weeded out.

That being said, this format is weird because it’s a numbered list of advice that is difficult to know how valuable it is for landing tenure. When I re-read it as life coping advice or how to research well, it helps. But phrased as tips for tenure I don’t find it very helpful. Although I’m not interested in tenure and not in that world, so I may not appreciate some of the content. I am really interested in organizational innovation, culture change management, translation, and research and think this is helpful.

Google tried to roll this out initially without that obvious must have. It speaks to intent, and probably future prospects for the API.

And, of course, a declaritive API with pattern matching limits what you can do anyway. No heuristics, no behavior based blocking, etc. You are pretty much stuck with cataloging the patterns of a ton of websites as your only approach.

It makes some sense to have an upvote be a form that posts somewhere and the response of which is a redirect (maybe a 307?) back to the page you’re on and then the progressive JavaScript enhancement would be to perform the request asynchronously instead of redirecting.

It makes sense because adding an upvote is the same as adding other form data to a database semantically so really should be treated the same way.
