I haven't forgotten. I was on a DC-10 on my first flight to California from the east coast, in the mid-1970s.

One audio channel included pilot-to-tower communication, a thrill for me since that was a relatively new thing.

Shortly after takeoff, I heard a loud bang. The pilot said, "We've lost an engine. We've got to go back." The tower asked, "Do you want 'equipment'?" Pilot: "No. That would just make them nervous. But have it ready."
Eventually that’s what happened. A couple of neighbors organized and put out pamphlets to have an in person meeting with one of the councilmen to get things set straight as to how the process would move forward. Participation was quite high which really gives me hope that the world isn’t completely broken.

As of now the plan is to put out a millage for vote across the whole city to cover several city infrastructure projects.

The reason a human reviewer needs that information is to troubleshoot the response.

1. Customer makes a request that requires location — “Alexa, what’s the weather?”

2. Alexa gets the response wrong — “A turkey is a flightless bird.”

3. You flag that as incorrect in the application.

4. An Amazon employee reviews that flagged response, and needs to figure out how Alexa misinterpreted — did she mishear you? ...is your location data malformed, so that interpretation was discarded? etc.

I don’t see how Amazon employees can troubleshoot the Alexa application without both reviewing the audio files and the contextual information provided.

Disclaimer: at one point, I reviewed security for Alexa teams. I no longer work there, my opinions are my own, etc.

I'd say there isn't really a better general option. Some people may want to target the largest amount of people right out of the gate, some people might want to be a big fish in a (growing) small pound. Some projects might have so many (possibly non core) dependencies that it's too hard to start from scratch without already existing mature tools, some projects you might want to start from scratch anyway so might as well use a more modern language that will give it some edge.

I think the only globally optimal option in hobby open source projects is doing whatever seems more fun for you, and for many people is using that language that no one uses (or making your own language that no one uses).
> I don't see any claims about performance, but I would be very surprised if it was anything better than abysmal. In a modern neural network pipeline, just sending data to the CPU memory

Notice that the bulk of data does not necessarily go through the pipeline (and thus by the cpu). You may only send a "token", than the program downstream uses to connect to and deal with the actual data that never left the gpu.

> I think this book should be read by every school child so they know the type of double standard and corruption that is rampant in government.

As anyone who has ever spent any time working in a private sector job knows, corruption and double standards are the status quo in life.

Unlike with the government, you rarely have any recourse when your manager, your director, your landlord, your bank, your utility, your grocery store, your accounting firm, or any of the other organizations that have power over you succumb to it.

(You can sue them, but you can also sue the government.)
Ironically, conversations geared towards reaching real solutions are not as prone to receiving widespread attention since they involve multivariate discussion and critical thought.

> WAPM operates synchronously at the moment, but there is no reason why WAPM should not be able to install dependencies concurrently.

I'm sorry, I didn't word that well. In Fedora, there is a feature called Modularity that enables you to switch between different release streams (for instance, Node.js LTS or current). You can do so with `dnf module install nodejs:11` or `dnf module install nodejs:10`. Since `dnf` is installing into a single global space, though, it isn't possible to install both nodejs:11 and nodejs:10, and the Fedora project recommends containers as a solution here. Could WAPM support this use case, without requiring one to buy into the entire container tooling ecosystem?

Yes! This could enable a declarative OCI image build tool, which could be used to bridge the gap between Wasmer and the Docker/Kubernetes stack.

The last time it was plugged into a wall outlet, in an area with no Internet coverage? Or what about that irreplaceable photo I just took since the last time I plugged it into my computer, that I need right now and can't access until my phone is fixed?

Now we're just nitpicking each other. Hopefully you can at least see that they aren't magical devices that will solve everyone's problems. They do break, and like with any device that breaks, it can be a real inconvience for its user.
The new Mac Minis seem like a pretty good middle ground, user upgradable RAM, decently powerful Desktop grade CPUs, and no hardware keyboards to fail. Admittedly, the SSD tied to the T2 chip is a slight issue, but otherwise if you're tied to the Apple ecosystem, it seems like a good fit.

I've been super happy with mine since last fall, and just this week, upgraded the 8GB of ram to 32GB myself, took a whole 15 mins to insert it and put everything back together.

> A simple little mental test is just to quickly imagine a European scene from that era. Now: was the sun shining? Of course not.

It strikes me like one of those "follow the ball" scenes in which a multitude of other things happen, but you're not paying attention because you're focusing on the ball. The state of the sun didn't matter for the details I was imagining. If I had been asked "Now: was it nighttime?" the answer would have been the same: no, of course not. I wasn't thinking about the sky.
My point is you would need to sequence multiple samples for the same person, and with contaminated DNA you need higher read depth which costs more.

If you want to say that the person who spat out the piece of gum you sequenced is female and European, yeah you can probably do that for $200.

Because raising money is their main goal -- diversity and inclusion are not part of it at all (when they don't actively hurt, e.g. if most good programmers are white+male in your area (which statistically is all too probable, if not for anything else, because those are that had the money and where encouraged more to be programmers in the 90s and 00s when they were growing up), and you need to get an equal number of token women+minority programmers just for diversity's sake).

maybe because, among many other reasons, it takes so much f time for something to change in the XMPP world, because you have to wait for the XSF to validate any change, then all the server devs to implement it, then all the client devs to implement it, then all the sysadmin to update their (very often very old version of) XMPP server, then for the users to update their clients (which, with Android fragmentation for example, is a PITA) ?
"The Dark Ages" is also a Eurocentric view of history. What was going on in the Islamic world? In China?

Glad to see "Support for iDEAL, SEPA Debit, and other European payment methods" is on the roadmap - the world is bigger than the US, and many European's don't have cards.

Considering how some carriers refuse to unlock bootloaders, this may well be the only option some of us have to restore bricked phones. Other than paying Google 250 bucks to reflash them.
I don't know, but I doubt it is that simple.

Maybe if the head of engineering had had another 6 months to test the keyboard design properly he could have concluded that it wasn't technically feasible. But at the time there was a lot of pressure to release a redesign of the MBP and probably the design of the case was already decided. In the end Apple wasn't able to make a proper keyboard to accommodate the specs but maybe it was too late to go back to the drawing board.

I'm speculating of course, but I very much doubt Apple are complete idiots. It's more probable that some circumstances forced them to release the redesign. It was a mistake of course, they should have only updated the specs of the 2015 model, maybe adding a TB3 port. But you know, hindsight is 20/20.

I imagine Apple has been working on a redesign with a new keyboard, but these things take a couple of years. Specially when the Mac is only 10% of Apple's revenue.

What a colossal fuck up.

My 2016 MacBook Pro has the best keyboard I've ever used in my life. It is a joy to type on. Of all the things that needed "improving" in my laptop, the keyboard would have been dead last.

Hell, if they were still selling 2016 MPBs today with the exact same specs, I'd take that over a 2018 one.

You're kind of cavalierly assuming that everyone agrees with you that the process is flawed. This is definitely a question that reasonable people can disagree about. And if you not only disagree with this hypothetical hiring manager, but you even do it in the fairly arrogant way you're writing now, I wouldn't blame them for passing.

Just to expand a little on why a take-home test could be warranted, I can imagine a few scenarios:

1. You're a Facebook/Amazon/Netflix/Google/Microsoft and you have candidates lined up around the block trying to apply.

2. You're bootstrapped or full on headcount and can afford to take your time and absorb lots of false negatives.

3. You're in a very niche space and know that the few people in the domain are going to be willing to put a ton of work into each and every application. If there were somehow a job that let me play video games and read science fiction while fixing electronics gear on the Moon, of course I'd do a paid take-home assignment for a chance.
Pointless comparison really, you're comparing a startup (in automotive industry context) to a company established in the 1900s. Tesla's revenue growth is 40x Ford.

I've always thought of the Prius design as similar to Birkenstock shoes - not pretty but the most practical in terms of aerodynamics and arch support.

> Take no prisoners: mono-repos suck too

We are transitioning to multi-repos because we have been burned so hard by our mono-repo. Builds used to take 3 hours on the monster and we managed to get them down to 30 minutes, but we are truly at the bottom of the barrel. God help us if there is a build failure, every subsequent build fails while we scramble to identify the problem (and we can only sample success or failure every 30 minutes). It's a house of cards and it's horrible.

> Shots fired: multi-repos suck

We've already had debugging woes with this combined with internal package feeds (you have to pull down the code, build it, remove the package and replace it with the local code), which has made us very bearish on code re-use. That rigmarole sucks way less than mono-repos.

> You can’t have your cake and Git it too

Combine version control and package managers IMO. Go does one half of this. If you work under GOPATH with all your code, you can easily jump across repos to make changes and have those changes immediately propagate to the initial repo. Your hard-disk becomes the mono-repo. What Go doesn't do is pull binaries down from package feeds. There needs to be some simple mechanism to switch between builds and code.

Machine learning was extensively used in image processing before 2013 / deep learning.

The main difference is that you’d write code to extract features from the image and then learn a model using those features (as opposed to using the pixel data directly and learning a model from that as in CNNs).

As an example, you wouldn’t necessarily write code for “fur texture” but instead would extract histograms of pixel brightness gradients and feed those (along with other things) to a machine learning algorithm. In this example, fur texture would generate a different histogram (to be used as a feature) than skin texture.

Hitting high protein or low carb macros is difficult without some kind of protein supplement. I'm currently targeting 50% fat, 25% protein, 25% carbs for endurance reasons. Of course this isn't applicable to everyone. But it is applicable to anyone who needs to keep carbs low for health reasons, or anyone with some kind of athletic hobby.

Also bear in mind that not all protein is created equal. If wheat gluten wasn't low in lysine, I'd eat a lot more of it.

> My dream is to be able to drop a repo inside another repo and have git just treat it as if it were part of the parent repo. And then to be able to bundle the child repo to the parent and push it.

I'm not sure if I understand you right, but I think I made what you describe: https://github.com/feluxe/gitsub

It's a simple wrapper around git, that allows nested git repositories, with almost no overhead.

I use it for a private library (the parent-repo), which itself contains modules (the child-repos) that I open sourced on github. It works fine for my use case. I wrote it, because I found "submodule" and "subtree" too complicated. 'gitsub' is still in alpha.
