I'm not a professional web developer, but in the experience I've had building a couple of JS heavy sites, I've actually found the Edge developer tools to be the best. If there's one thing microsoft knows how to do well, it's build developer tools.
Since the type of fuzzing you can do right now on Fuzzbuzz is language-specific, you wouldn't be able to fuzz Javascript code.

We are in the process of building a fuzzer for generic web-apps, so watch this space :)
I had a similar experience trying to use an LSTM model / TensorFlow based on the Shakespeare RNN example.

This doesn't generate novel, meaningful text content without a template, but I'm unaware of any machine learning model that does this well (OpenAI's included). This model does absorb the 'rules' of the text, both grammar and structure (character names and dialogue, scene introductions, etc)

In my own project, I made use of this to find spelling and grammatical errors on Esperanto Wikipedia: https://medium.com/@mapmeld/esperanto-nlp-part-3-correcting-...

Pizza boxes are not actually recyclable due to the amount of grease they absorb which is unable to be separated.
I tried Manjaro before, didn't have the nicest experience getting it setup on one of my laptops. I try to stick to Ubuntu derived Linux distros cause they usually support my hardware cleanly enough. I wouldn't mind trying it out again though, but i3 is a lot different from Fluxbox.
Thanks for the tip. I will study this question in more detail.
I had a humbling experience last year when I browsed the available courses until I found one that only contained math I'm already familiar with and I had to go all the way back to fourth year elementary school. :/

Prefect: A First Look
> this system has the best 3rd party content

Really? I adore the system as well but... it seems rather bloated with mediocre and outright terrible "indie" content. There is a distinct lack of AAA quality games aside from Nintendo originals (Mario, Smash, Zelda...). 2 years of Switch were enough to finish those to a satisfying end. A couple of ports like Stardew Valley don't really help the case either.

I just finished adventure mode in Smash and consider only two games to buy right now: Octopath and Undertale, where only the former is a new original Switch title. Im not jumping at those either. The games that seem attractive in the store are often available on other systems as well.

That is frustrating, but the good news is that this is being picked up as part of (somewhat ironically) Google Summer of Code: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885508#c49
I wonder how much differentiation there will be between different auto brands who adopt the native Android Infotainment. There is very little differentiation on newer Android platforms, like Android TV (eg, between Nvidia Shield, Nexus player, and Xiaomi Mi Box). I think Google prefers to minimize vendor customization after allowing way too much leeway for phone handsets.

But if this is true, then the same infotainment interface will be available on $20k economy cars and $100k luxury cars, and manufacturers will hate this. I wonder if that's why the uptick is slow.
Agree wholeheartedly that regulation must come into play. But ultimately people have to ask for the regulation and vote accordingly. Bit of a chicken and egg problem. I grapple with the fact that my efforts aren’t even a drop in the bucket, but raising awareness does help to get others doing the same.
I think it depends on what you are doing. If you are just doing API plumbing, the idea of introducing more rigor into the process may seem somewhat absurd. If you are doing real programming, however, Haskell allows you to elegantly structure and think about a problem. Certainly in parsing applications Haskell is a no brainier, Pandoc is written in Haskell for example. People are saying Rust is going to be the chosen one that brings it all together.

For anyone interested in Haskell, I recommend starting with http://learnyouahaskell.com/ (very friendly, intuitive and light) then doing these exercises: https://github.com/data61/fp-course.
Not discussed by the article, but I wonder...Is it more terrible to find out that nobody's out there? Nobody's listening?
Your product sounds interesting but promoting it more than once per thread might turn some people off, especially around here.
Your question implies that there is a right answer and there isn't. I think your question is more accurately stated, "why doesn't everyone think or feel like me?"

Dedicating one's life to one's work (including long hours) can be very high quality: if you have an active interest in what you do, pride in what you produce, and you see yourself as not just doing some task that some employeer/customer told you to do, but you see your work and its output as symbolic of your own personal standards, then the rewards are more than sufficient payoff for the time spent. And the time spent itself can be quite pleasurable, too, even if time spent is very high.

Of course, if you've not managed to find something in life that both makes you feel that way and allows you sustenance, you're probably going to ask the very question you did. Human experience is simply more broad than that.
Take that lump sum or in another way of looking at it have that lump sum taken from them. Depending on the family situation this could cause knock on effect leading to financial burdens that who knows, could lead to suicide? Is that worth 18 months of a doomed persons life?
Does Elizabeth Holmes deserve credit for creating jobs? All Tesla has done so far is burn capital. It's not that hard to do, all you need is to convince people to give you money. Tesla has never had a profitable year. Not sure how much credit that warrants.
Silly question, I'm sure, but: Why do we think that nuclei contain distinct neutrons and protons at all, rather than simply being conglomerations of Up and Down quarks with the constraint that color charge must be zero and electrical charge must be integral?
Maybe the thing that makes tech workers want to live and work somewhere is lack of density?

The vast majority of non-dense areas have much less of a tech scene than New York and Chicao. I would expect that what draws tech workers is career opportunity more than high or low density and that density is more driven by how municipal government responds to the changing local job market.
"Cluster" doesn't really square with "small business". Like, why have 3 nodes? HA? They're all probably plugged into the same power run and switch and breathing the same A/C. They're not actually redundant but they are more complicated. So it makes no sense unless you have strangely huge/complicated computational requirements.
Are insulated pipes burried 6ft underground going to lose that much heat?

What kind of voltages are we talking about? I know that to get 12v from an alternator in a van to a leasure battery in the back with a modest voltage drop you need cables sized like welding cables. Is it possible to generate voltages nearer 240v directly from an alternator or do you need an invertor somewhere? How does the load on a heating element vary in low wind conditions? Presumably the voltage and / or frequency would be lower in that case.

With water you have the fact that it'll boil naturally regulating itself (so long as you let it escape). You could raise or lower the water level in the stirring chamber and possibly take advantage of convection to pump it back to a reservoir when it gets to a good temperature.

Your average Pokemon super fan is in say the 6-10 year old age range. But strategy elements of RPGs can be difficult to grasp so young. With kids often getting "stuck" after a few easy battles and making little progress beyond.

I think that's why the Mystery Dungeon series was so popular, despite being "off-brand". More of a Roguelike exploration scenario. And focuses on creating an emotional bond with hyper-kawaii styled "virtual pets". Rather than achievement of battle supremacy.
The mainstream media (some TV news channels, especially) have been warmongering quite hard in India. I assume it's the same in Pakistan.
So to me the biggest semantic question are the following:

- Does what you have to write to run on X follow the semantics of the language?
- Can you use data structures/code defined in libraries that don't know about your thing?

In the case of julia on TPU here, the answer is yes! (surprisingly perhaps, and getting this to work is pretty hard). In particular, you get a lot of julia's language features: Multiple dispatch, control flow, etc. It's a bit of a subset of the full language (e.g. no mutation at the moment), but everything that's supported is just standard julia and we're working on growing that subset more and more.

That approach is very different from something like TensorFlow where you're essentially metaprogramming an expression graph. Numba probably counts for python (yeah, you have to put an annotation on things, but if the python people really wanted, they could probably import Numba into core cpython and make it work more smoothly). Of course in python, you have the additional complication that most of the core implementation is not in python itself, so even if you satisfy my two criteria above for the core language, you're still gonna have to rewrite the whole standard library.

This, very noticeable with something like shadertoy.
You're talking about two completely different time scales though. Climate is going to be a disaster in <100 years. We can't make a planet viable in <200 (and that's assuming massive increases in tech).

Problem is that lots of people are going to die. People that don't have to. People that wouldn't have if we acted sooner. That's what people are worried about.

Will the human species survive? Yes. Will lots of people die? Also yes. I'd rather it not come down to it, especially since it didn't have to be this way.

Let me repeat that. It didn't have to be this way.
Having two nuclear powers shooting each other's planes out of the sky should make the whole world nervous.

In a perverse way, it is probably a good thing that they are both nuclear powers. The stakes are too high for them NOT to call a truce and end this madness before it gets out of hand. It seems like most remain hopeful that both sides will stand down after a couple of rounds of chest beating.

Knowing humanity, it is only a matter of time though, before two nuclear powers begin an all out war with each other. India and Pakistan are definitely on the top of the list of candidates where such a war could start.
They probably minded terribly. Grief, though, didn't end their lives.
If only there were some way to opt out. I don't want a goddamn tablet on the dashboard, I just want a car that works. If it's android-based, it's going to be utterly Google-dependent, calling home all the time, it'll constantly try to change itself around according to the whims of Google's designers, and half of its features will stop working after five years. Please no: do not want.

To be more precise, this isn't "stop weapons development" as a general statement but "stop the newly stated weapons development program at Microsoft".

It seems like your argument is that since there are 'Syrian arms factories' then every company in the US should be involved in weapons development (presumably so long as it is profitable?).

And therefore it seems like you think that every employee should expect that their company may switch to weapons systems development, and so therefore no one should object should that happen?

Your statement "[X] will be developed no matter what" has been the justification for a huge amount of unethical practices. Just last month I saw https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/space-ch... about a company trying to justify organizing a birth in orbit by 2024 :

> Gerrit-Jan Zwenne, one of SpaceLife Origin’s advisers and Edelbroek’s cousin, is convinced that if this company doesn’t do it, another will. ... “I think at some point this will happen anyway, so we better do it in a very open and transparent manner,” Zwenne says. “If it’s somebody working on his own, in isolation, not in contact with the rest of the world, you may discover that something happens and you can’t reverse it.”

Yet that project is, by modern medical standards, completely unethical. I'm sure it would not be hard to find many other unethical examples.

Remember too that your argument would also justify using chemical weapons again in WWII, and justify a nuclear first strike, and justify all sorts of other barbaric military practices. We should torture our enemies first, because we know they would torture our troops if they could, and it's better that American Freedom does it first. /s

I therefore cannot accept that as a valid argument, and instead see it as being very naive.

You write: "i would like to bring everything out in the open"

Well, that's not going to happen, so what's your backup plan? That is, name one open military weapons project.

Regarding "regarding quitting", since Google and Microsoft are huge corporations, your reply acknowledges that it can be effective for employees to protest without (or before) actually quitting, in order to change policy. Which is what you are seeing here.

Why then are you saying that it isn't effective?

It does not appear that you know much about the history and effect of labor actions, so I do not believe anyone should trust your assertion that the "Best form of protest is to quit".
Being enslaved by evil aliens is among the worst of fears. The risk isn’t death or annhilation; it’s being denied the mercy of a short (100 years) existence, in bondage and suffering.

I fully support a careful approach to combing the cosmos.

It isn't a bug; it's the fact that Firefox uses a transparent window and doesn't yet use Core Animation, which offloads scrolling to the window server. Switching to CA involves heavy lifting inside the compositor and is not an easy task. My planeshift crate does some of the work needed to make the WebRender path use Core Animation.

In the meantime, setting gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque to true in about:config helps battery life significantly, at the cost of rounded corners and vibrancy.
Codeless Automated UI Testing
How were you able to determine what level you were at?
I went into that rabbit hole some time ago, there are two tools available from Microsoft to mitigate problems with updates (other tools than the update-tool referenced in another answer). I can dig them articles up again if needed.
We're already sort of integrated with GitHub, since you can integrate your projects to automatically pull updates from repositories, so GitHub login is definitely on the roadmap!
This kind of certitude is exactly what's wrong with nutrition science. Trans fats are one of the primary exogenous culprits of heart disease along with smoking. And though the evidence is comparatively weak, there's some evidence trans fats in particular and saturated fats more generally can contribute to insulin resistance.

How about we just say that carbohydrates, particularly refined carbohydrates, are at the top of the list of things one would do best to avoid or minimize, along with trans fats. (He says, as he drinks his morning Mt. Dew and donut.) We should be wary of making affirmative statements without exceptionally strong evidence. We're not discussing sports statistics or the weather. Unsubstantiated or poorly conceived advice by both professionals and in general public discourse has caused irreparable harm to millions.
Yup, you're both right. I use my $10 kube cluster for 2 apps, one of which has 3 users, the other has a dozen. So it's idle >99% of the time, but it needs to be available 24/7. And they're rails apps, so it's neither easy to "scale to 0", and if it was, the startup times would probably be horrendous enough that it wouldn't be worth saving that fraction of $10...
You're mistaking a Markov chain toy with an actual Markov chain generator.

1. Yes it would. It would see capitalized words as high probability for first word on a line or after a point.

2. Obviously it could, depending on stop condition. Especially if you include line length.

3. If trained on corpus of plays, for sure it would.

The strength on the RNN is supposed to be in context and memory... Perhaps handling of grammar.

There are advanced hierarchical grammars that are related to Markov random field models that are about on par with RNN based on many text and music analysis loads.
(In fact probabilistic math is often used to describe results and workings of a deep NN anyway.)

I like this idea. It's also how the subject developed historically. That said, don't you get a very computational book in which students spend a lot of time working with matrices filled with numbers if you teach Gaussian elimination first? How do you make sure that students understand the big picture? After all, modern linear algebra is a lot more than the Gaussian elimination algorithm. I'd even go so far as to say that if a student don't understand Gaussian elimination but understands everything else and that there exists some algorithm to solve linear equations, they'd still get 95% of the value of a linear algebra course.

Maybe you can do that if you make it very visual like the book linked in this post, so that you bring in the geometric concept of a vector and link it to linear equations, rather than only working with tuples of numbers. For example, linking the visual concept of linear independence of a set of vectors to a system of equations having a unique solution. If you do that you may be able to teach linear algebra from a linear equation solving point of view, while not getting bogged down in manipulating matrices of numbers.
Urgent care might be a good option where it's available. Even here though, I've been told I just need to pay my copay, which I did up front, then been billed a couple months later for some additional amount. I was lucky that the amount wasn't high so I just paid it rather than dig in, but it's very unclear how or why I was billed extra. This happens all the time.
My understanding is that currently the payoff for pv is quicker than thermal, which is why most people now go for it.

Now I don't know whether an equivalent pv system is cheaper in absolute terms than a thermal system, but from what I can work out, the marginal cost of adding extra pv to cover hot water is cheaper that adding a separate thermal system.

So yes they have different uses, pv generates electricity which can be used for a variety of things, thermal just generates heat. So if pv is cheaper or has a quicker payback, it seems like a no brainer to me.

I've never understood the "just fork Blink" argument in favor of a single renderer. Forking Blink results in multiple renderers that diverge over time: just look at what happened to WebKit and Blink. You can't have it both ways: either the entire Web is under control of Google management, or you have multiple competing renderers.

My doctor and I had a conversation about this and that was his position, though not for reasons of expense. He says it's a fairly popular position amongst his peers, as well. Those who get to see first-hand what treatment looks like don't want to go through it themselves.
Counter argument:

So if we've been using radar since WWII, and radar has been capable of signalling our presence to alien civilizations, then we don't need METI. Alternatively, if METI is proposing a signal that can reach alien civilizations in a way that TV and radio signals cannot, then the original objections to METI still stand, and the TV/radio signal argument is a red herring.

But really, it's just common sense. Everything we know about the universe tells us that complex organisms exist at the expense of simpler organisms. As a nascent space-faring civilization, we are the minnows in the ocean, and signalling our presence to the bigger fish is the kind of mistake that a minnow only makes once. What exactly is the perceived positive outcome of making contact with a more advanced civilization?
