When do you exercise, grocery shop, meet teams at school, get sick, enjoy your hobbies, read for fun, catch up with friends or other parents, drive your kids to activities, help with homework and projects... ?

I'm glad this works for you, but for me (and I imagine many) a hyper "productive" schedule and life seems to be missing the simple joy of living and the flexibility of unscheduled opportunities. Again, if it works that is great but for many people the time management approach is not viable.
What is the point of adding X ms delay to your order? What does it fix? The "problem" with HFT is that participants can quickly pull out the limit orders, so your market order will be executed at the price that is worse than you expect. Jitter doesn't fix it. If anything, it will make it worse, i.e. your order will hit the market that is quite different from what you saw when you sent the order.
Not a lot of this matters in the real world. The real shame is the shitty small file performance due to MFT contention on NTFS.
Well if it were France we would bat an eye because Airbus.
>The title implies that there was success found here, but so far it's just aspirations.

I don't see that. Just because the author has/had aspirations, doesn't me he hasn't already reached/achieved them partially, if not completely.
Think of it this way. If everyone is cheating and fixes their answers to be tails one fair coin flip will still randomly determine the outcome because their fair flip will swap between heads and tails for the whole group.
I guess 2 days of silence answers this question:)
What was your reasoning that lead you to believe that the social/political problems of the world won't be fixed with technology? I personally have come to the opposite conclusion. I think we need systems to help us reason about and model various social and political issues. Many issues of today go unresolved because they are hidden by complexity. We need systems to help us navigate this complexity. I'm tired of seeing people talk nonsense in circles, I want to create systems that allow them to craft their arguments rigorously without the need for rigorous training. If we can help people reason about problems, would that help us at all?
> We believe that if we do create AGI,

Have you decided in which direction you might guide the AGI’s moral code? Or even a decision making framework to choose the ideal moral code?
Who wants to help me re-launch this GC app, a Quora for résumé feedback?
Should, but doesn't. This is all there is:

"Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard."

Sounds interesting. No screenshots, though. Just a big black box reading "No compatible source was found for this media." I guess it's trying to play a video? Why not have a video, and also images which are compatible with every single browser since Netscape?
Thanks for saying this! I noticed this too. Sway got this right.

So often I'm linked to a project status announcement where I soon give up because it's not all clear what the project is about. Even just adding a sentence or two like Sway did goes a long way.
They say they have started this new form of company because there's is no "pre-existing legal structure" suitable.

But there are precedents for investing billions of dollars into blue sky technologies and still being able to spread the wealth and knowledge gathered - it's called government investment in science - it has built silicon chips and battery technologies and ... well quite a lot.

Is this company planning on "fundamental" research (anti-adversarial, "explainable" outcomes?) - and why do we think government investment is not good enough?

Or, worryingly, are the major tech leaders now so rich that they can honestly taken on previous government roles (with only the barest of nods to accountability and legal obligation to return value to the commons)

I am a bit scared that it's the latter - and even then this is too expensive for any one firm alone.
Another thing to consider:

Even if there were a significant difference one way or the other, it's rare to spend more than 1% of your time arranging your workspace and switching views & windows, so any optimization of that 1% will have minimal effect on your productivity.
> Automation is a good thing at any scale.

Well, financially if the project is generating revenue worth of one persons salary, then it doesn't make sense to make things that would require more personnel to improve mainteinability, since you can't afford it. You just have to live with the risk.
That's not a loophole, that's pretty much a design choice in the license.
Not OP, but this is how I see it. It's a bit like the daycare late fines experiment:

https://rady.ucsd.edu/faculty/directory/gneezy/pub/docs/fine...

Here's a digestible Freakonomics bit which discusses the same:

http://freakonomics.com/2013/10/23/what-makes-people-do-what...

When there was not a price on being late, the price paid was actually moral. That is, being late was a bad thing to do and so you should feel bad. However, when a monetary price was introduced, it was no longer morally bad to be late, as long as you paid the fee. The monetary-price replaced the moral-price, and it ended up that there were a lot of people willing to pay money where they weren't willing to pay morally. And so the truancy rate rose with introduction of late fees.

I would guess that that is what OP meant. If you introduce a price, you can actually remove even stronger restrictions that are in place based on morality. Because as long as you're being charged, you can assume the price is inclusive of your moral hazard.

While he was president at Harvard, Summers had a fairly obnoxious demeanor. Maybe that is his demeanor in all situations, and he has had a lot of personal success, but it was ill-suited to that particular job. The president is supposed to schmooze donors and not piss anyone off. That's it. Summers pissed someone off on at least a weekly basis. By the time he made these impolitic remarks, there was a long line of pitchfork-bearing villagers. All it took was one person to complain about him in unimpeachable fashion, and the Fellows started hearing about how terrible he was all the time. One of the Fellows resigned because Larry hadn't resigned quickly enough! In exchange for a loan forgiveness, the rest of the Corporation convinced him it was time.

Also he made a number of errors as president, e.g. the Shleifer thing and the unfortunate changes made by his people at HMC.
Legality varies by state.
It absolutely matters: a fair amount of software, both enterprise and consumer, already uses these features. Malware detection, for example, makes heavy use of reparse points.
Right now its chronological-ish. Some publishers post stories with publication dates in the future (I guess its when it will be in the print edition?) so in that case the system goes with when it first saw it. So you'll see in some cases timestamps out of order, because its sorting by a slightly different timestamp.

At some point I would like to sort in a better way -- this was total MVP. Theres a few things I'd like to try to ultimately differentiate this from other aggregators or even RSS readers.
Funny enough that's precisely my use case for tiling window managers. I'm often referencing one app to do work in another, and often one is just a bit too overlapped to see what I need, and I also need to lay windows out every time I do this work. With a tiling window manager, you can be sure that your app is not obfuscated, and there are various adjustments you can make to pane size and layout to get the right amount of screen space and positioning for apps. You can also save and restore layouts for particulars workflows.
A year or two ago I tried basically all of the free video editing software available on Linux and Kdenlive was definitely the best (factoring that I couldn't be bothered to learn Blender in the time I had). Others were buggy or clunky or didn't have basic features. This may have changed recently but I was really thankful for kdenlive at the time.
They're also not going to be carrying much inventory in store

Incorrect. Game theory predicts pollution. You just need to make sure the game has the correct predicted payoffs for each move, and the set of moves you want to measure, and their interactions...

You'll find Game Theory a lot easier to understand if you mentally replace every instance of "Math" with "AI". (So instead of saying "The Nash Equilibirum is...", just say "I trained an RNN and this is how it would play"). That's really all it is. Usually the games are designed in a simple way because the "AI" that is being run is nothing more complicated than min-cut/max-flow.

"Pollution" specifically is a case of the "Free-Rider Problem", and there are plenty of game theoretic results that explain it.
It's an editorial opinion piece, not a journalistic report. Editorial opinions often contradict the immediate financial models of the publications that carry them.
This is very true in my experience. I covet and zealously guard the hours between 8pm and my bedtime and/or ~6am and when the kids wake up. It is very hard to do deep intellectual work when you have kids around, but easy to get more rote tasks completed.
Or you can have manual deployment strategy and gradually automatize it.
I'm not interested in giving a company I have no track record with tens of thousands of dollars first, just for the privilege of being allowed to evaluate the product they want to sell me.

Not now for sure, but especially not when functional and competent companies like BMW, Mercedes, or Audi, who have made incredible cars for decades, will have competitive electric options and will treat me like an adult making a major purchase and let me test drive them.
Intel already have the high-performance interconnect they acquired from Cray (Aries) and now sell as "OmniPath". Not sure how that sells head-to-head vs. InfiniBand though. IB obviously has a lot more legacy presence in HPC data centers.

Edit: sorry somehow glossed over your mention of OmniPath, didn't mean to restate what you already said.
> Maybe too many people are trying to find all their meaning in life through their work.

You probably shouldn't make your "meaning in life" reside completely in your work. But then again, you can't work at a job that is completely meaningless to you.

The problem with burnout generally comes from the feeling of pointlessness. And IT excels at that feeling. We've built an industry that is accustomed -almost to the point of being a fraud to society- to such things as:

- Extremely low productivity in the large. While workers may be fully occupied, and even over-worked sometimes, in the large, a lot of productivity is simply wasted in projects which never take off, are discarded, scratched, changed, etc.

- Low accountability. Current trends like #NoEstimates #NoTesting #NoProductOwners etc, while may or may not have valid points all lead to a larger #NoAccountability "ideal" where developers seem to want no accountability at all for whatever they do. Not having any responsibilities in what you do is actually not the good idea some think it is.

- The pervasive idea that it's all horrible but that's alright. That you don't really need to know how to do stuff, you can just copy-paste it from SO or whatever you find on Google. That programmers just don't know what they are doing but haha I change this line here and it works and I don't know why but it works and that's what matters so I'm going to sarcastically twit about it because everyone will understand and concur. That everything could just crash and burn in microseconds but that won't really happen, right?

- The masterful move of claiming that anyone can program with just good will and disposition. That a degree doesn't matter, that experience doesn't matter, that actual knowledge is secondary to "passion".

All this ends up producing the result that a lot -most? probably so- of jobs in the industry and a large part of every job in the industry is mostly pointless, or at least feels so. And this pointlessness in turn is what produces the burnout.

And I don't really know, but I would tend to think that no matter how much meaning you find outside your job, if that job doesn't at least give you a minimum meaning, you will have a very hard time fighting burnout.
So it's also an alternative to multilingual CMSs (but only for text)?
I remember when Linux desktop environment release announcements came with screenshots.
A good rule of thumb is: "plan for scale, but don't implement until needed". True, you don't want to engineer yourself into a dead end by designing a system that can't be parallelized, but I've also seen so many startup founders (including myself) that design for massive scale that won't arrive for years, but introduces complexities that will slow down development in the exact phase one needs to be the most agile.
It doesn't even let you do frame rate conversion though.
The stable matching problem and the secretary problem are not the same thing. The stable matching problem is operates at a high level and is simply about matching pairs based on known preferences of multiple agents.

The secretary problem is about a single agent attempting to make a selection based off of incomplete information, and does involve an exploration phase.
I worked in Ops as well, albeit as an L1 - L3 part time AA. I was actually surprised, especially after what I'd read online about Amazon, at how much slack they would cut employees regarding rate and other behavioral issues. It always seems like it would take way too long to weed out bad employees. I definitely don't relish anyone losing their job but I'd say my biggest issue working at Amazon was how demoralizing it would be to see so many extremely hard working associates having to pick up the slack for lower performing ones. I'm sure this is fairly site dependent though.
This seems like an unnecessarily cynical take on things. And ultimately, if the outcome is the same, what do you (or anyone) really care if people are making more money from it or if there are commercial purposes?

The OpenAI staff are literally some of the most employable folks on earth; if they have a problem with the new mission it's incredibly easy for them to leave and find something else.

Additionally, I think there's a reason to give Sam the benefit of the doubt. YC has made multiple risky bets that were in line with their stated mission rather than a clear profit motive. For example, adding nonprofits to the batch and supporting UBI research.

Their's nothing wrong with having a profit motive or using the upsides of capitalism to further their goals.

That is one big commit:

It seems to be on a project which has virtually no contributions since last august.

In addition, I'm not sure where Microsoft is going with this: your DTrace scripts probably won't be portable anyway. The only common point is the language. Is that sufficient ?
Exploring Multiple Persistent XSS into RCE: Exploit Walkthrough
Has Keybase lost it's way? I thought they were onto something cool and maybe could explore an enterprise play with private chats, filesharing and git for teams or something like that. Basically make money by selling to teams. But Keybase seems to have stagnated, existing apps are still quite buggy, not enough new developments recently. The facepalm moment for me was when they announced they were supported by the Stellar foundation. I lost all hope then and there. I get that you guys are buddies with the Stellar folk, you think Stellar is cool etc but an objective analysis leads to only one answer : don't do it you'll regret. Maybe add it as a feature (stellar integration) but don't go all in. Speaking of Stellar, still no integration after 1 year?? Focus on what you have and start making money. So, what went wrong malgorithms?

(Sorry if this sounds harsh or rude, there's no point in sugar coating the truth. Hopefully the keybase teams reads this criticism and does a little soul searching.)

Why does the acceleration matter if we already regulate velocity?
Was SoftBank a phone carrier / producerin ‘97?

Wasn’t it J-Phone -> Vodaphone -> SoftBank?
Not to mention a lot of utilities will give you rebates for charging equipment. PG&E is now up to an $800 rebate if you switch to their EV plan... that will buy the charger or the install.

It's knowing about all these rates and rebates that's tricky. Dealers should be able to provide you with all this info, but well, that's a whole other story...
Interesting concept.

I suspect you'd have a lot of the car industry against your campaign though...
We just pulled a Voltaire switch from our data center. They definitely made hardware. Or at least put their name on it.
Fair enough, that seems like a good answer. There will still probably be concerns about whether or not the cap can be changed in the future, however. But I don't know enough about nonprofit laws to comment on that.

Using these codecs isn’t going to be better for your users if their hardware cannot natively decode it. Sure, it might shave a few gigabytes off their data plan, but it’ll also drain their batteries quicker.
Our goal is definitely not make this a business for every hosts. We still have hosts that offer help in case of emergencies, and we love them. They are critical for more EV adoptions. Right now, we have hosts that indicate their chargers are open for emergencies only. ampUp also allow hosts to set a sharing schedule, so limiting the sharing hours within 10am and 2pm when kids are at school could hopefully alleviate the concerns there. Or just offer it for emergencies only! :).
Is it?

The edge TPU can do MobileNet V2 at 100 FPS.

An iPhone 7 can do it at 145 FPS (source https://machinethink.net/blog/mobilenet-v2/)

The deal is though that the Edge TPU is able to do it at much lower power.
Interesting. I am in Spain and earn a lot less than the SF salaries that I see posted here. But I don't stress about work and earn enough for a comfortable lifestyle. (I have been stressed at work, but that was down to very poor management. It was easy enough to find another job). I don't feel so bad about the poor pay here after reading your comment.
Ok, maybe you can help settle this for me. I know that phrasing appears in EWD1175, but years ago I came across this[1] which claims it was originally a handwritten annotation to EWD498. So that's how I've always cited it (I prefer Dikstra's phrasing to Hoare's.)

Some searching today found a wikiquote page[2] which led me here[3] also claiming an EWD498 handwritten annotation as the source.

Do you know definitively whether the annotation appears in EWD498?

(I thought at one time I actually found an image with the handwritten annotation, but I can't find it at the moment... Maybe I dreamed that...)

Would you recommend alacritty at this point? I've been mostly happy with kitty lately, but I haven't tried alacritty since its very early days.
Ah, so you wouldn't try to hold a meeting, and would have to just accept that working with them means that you can never meet, unless they desire to.

This is what I have a problem with; one cannot even share a simple poem without it degenerating into a virtue signalling debate. Now you're forced to defend something that you had nothing to do with. Yuck.
> why wasn't ElasticSearch SQL used / built upon for SQL?

According to the release blogpost [0], "SQL Support [...]is an improved version of the elasticsearch-sql plugin."

Sounds like they are building on it, as you suggested.

They could read your text, provide their service and then discard it. Instead, they store it indefinitely. He states this explicitly right here https://twitter.com/sebmck/status/1104132997110878208
I did not see that coming.

At NetApp we were an early customer of Mellanox (I told the founder that their name sounded like a poison gas :-)) which Steve Kleiman claimed implemnted Infiniband in anger. It was a good technology for the clustering team. Later as they grew and diversified into ethernet switches we bought a couple of their big core switches at Blekko. And at the current company we use their 40g network adapters to connect to high speed SDR hardware.

So now they are going to be part of Nvidia.

I get that this helps Nvidia in being more data center centric, but does it help them build better machine learning architectures? It does seem to be the only system that benefits from custom hardware more than the cost of that hardware. It seems that loosely coupled shared nothing clusters are not good machine learning back ends.
Most of the responses here are missing an important point.

Yes, you can grow leafy greens semi-profitably in urban environments, or in your garage.

How many calories do those leafy greens contain? Calories are what keep eight billion people alive. You may be able to grow salad garnish in your office, but good luck growing the 2,200 calories/day that the average adult needs.

There's no transition from this, to actually useful agriculture, just like how there's no transition from throwing a Frisbee, to putting a satellite in orbit.

Now for a completely orthogonal but still slightly related question: which Linux-browser does currently have the best Wayland-support?

Any clear favorite or are they all pretty much the same?
€1.3 per litre, so that's $5.53 per gallon.
What I've been thinking is, why can't we have both? Imagine just two changes: a workspace's mode can be switched between tiling and floating, and additional workspaces are just windows. Now you can have any combination of floating and tiling that makes sense to you. You could, for instance, set your desktop to tiling mode and open two new workspace windows, the switch one to floating and run your GUI desktop stuff on the left side of the screen and several terminal tiles on the right.
I feel odd dissing this article, because there's nothing wrong with it: Saying that you should consider your audience, focus on your content, and use "rich" (oh man, I remember when RIA was the buzz-de-jour) websites when, and only when, appropriate, is not controversial.

That said, I don't feel like there's much actually said. Just restating what is commonly advised (if not practiced) best practices, and not really doing anything to address WHY it isn't practiced. It also failed to mention the differences when you have an application that DOES benefit from being "rich", how progressive enhancement is still a good theory (I'll be honest, none of my workplaces have DONE it).

I've seen plenty of dismissive "web coders are trash" and "lol, Js, learn to code" comments (paraphrasing) in various discussions, as well as more informed discussions as to what is and is not a real cost/benefit of various approaches, but I've not seen much in-depth discussion about why the best practices really are rare, and how to fix that. I wish the author had gone beyond the basics and addressed that.
