If you're not familiar with Markdown it's probably not the stack for you honestly. But it is my favourite blog stack I've had so far.

Hugo as the static site gen, GitLab as the repo host, Netlify as the web host. Editing wise I usually just use Sublime Text on my desktop or a combo of Working Copy (iOS git app) + Ulysses (Fancypants writing app) on my iPad.
True that, but it's good fun anyway ;-) Plus, I'd rather spend two days setting up a usable, solid stack than be annoyed with WordPress every time I load their web interface...

Criminals: We can break 33% of the internet with one wrench!

Because that's what this still comes back to. If you can bribe or intimidate one developer with valid credentials, you can sign as many hashes as you like, if nobody else reviews and catches that commit, the users are toast. And even if Wordpress has a strict review policy, what about the plugins? There are some furiously popular examples out there made by very small teams, well outside Automattic's control.

All in all, there are thousands of people out there that one or two swings of a wrench mean that a massive network of servers become compromised. And in many cases you might not even need that. Hack the personal computer of one of these people, and you're 99% done.

A Supplier is when a function needs a value, and instead of providing a value as an argument, you pass in callable:

Foo(int x){return x+1} becomes Foo(Supplier x){return x() + 1}

I still don't see any theoretical proof that your carbon nanotubes are going to do this job more efficiently.

If they do, will they need any replacement? Are they reusable? How low the reuse cost can be?
Demonstration is very important for learning. There's so many hidden wins by watching someone do the thing instead of talk about it. For example, just seeing how they use their tools has a number of benefits. You might walk away not only learning the material but have a bunch of tips on how to improve your workflow. It's a win / win.

Neat timing on this article too. While this isn't a live demo of coding, I just published a 90 minute live demo today where I go over the process of planning out a substantially sized web app I'm going to be developing. The video is just a non-stop thought process of me figuring out how the app will work (struggles included). It's available at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/live-demo-of-planning-a-real-...

This is the first time I tried something like that. If anyone watches it, I'd really like to know what they thought. The only problem with live demos and really getting into the thick of it is the videos end up being a lot longer than a highlight reel that was made after the fact and only showed the interesting parts.

For me one of the biggest wins of a live demo is being able to see the true process, because that's what allows you to figure out how to apply it to your own project / work / etc..

For the same sort of big vehicle vs small problems, look at all the problems with trains and car/truck crossings at grade. Spoiler, the train usually wins.

Not likely. Many libraries (like web forms) will probably never be migrated. We will have two incompatible .net's for the foreseeable future. Changing a name does not change that.
you don't sound very experienced at all lol
The energy content of the gasoline is less than the energy used to make it (only 50-60% efficiency), but the CO2 released is the same as the CO2 used. So the energy efficiency is low, but the net CO2 emission is still zero.

Really depends where you are on the globe in terms of latitude. Russia is a gargantuan country that currently spans 12 time zones, I don't think there's a single solution that can cover it, especially given that the southernmost portions of the country (mainland) are around 41° and the northernmost parts are around 77°N.

I think the US tends to be much simpler in this regard (49°N-24°N - contiguous states). It seems in much of the country you really do get a more optimized time for sunrise/sunset if we all moved over 1 time zone: http://andywoodruff.com/blog/where-to-hate-daylight-saving-t...

Our standard instances at 3,75 GB of Ram and we keep a pool of three idle ones of those around. With the free account you can currently use larger instances of up to 16 GB of Ram and 1 Nvidia K80 GPU for free.

If you sign up for the paid plan which is 99$ per researcher per month you can provision more powerful machines – basically anything that Google Cloud offers.

We currently don't enforce any storage limits.

This is our first iteration of pricing though so I'm pretty sure this will still change over time. We've gotten a lot of feedback from people asking for a cheaper plan.

What most people don't realise however is that you can use most of the features (including private drafts) as it stands now for free. We've also been debating weather we should allow for private drafts on the free plan or take a stance on what open science really means (working in the open from the start) but decided agains this for now.

Curious to hear what others think about this. Do you expect drafts to be private and would it be a violation of those expectations if they were not?

Not really.

Almost all cancer clusters can be traced to a source. Sometimes natural like radon gas, but usually industrial. If you’re going to live near a military base, semiconductor manufacturer (especially older ones), or defense/aviation contractor, don’t drink the water. Industrial sites just dumped chemicals in site or in poorly engineered dumps nearby. The military likes to setup burn pits with all sorts of nasty things or just dump stuff as well.

Look at maps of brownfield/superfund sites in places like Burlington, MA, around Stanford in California, Bethpage, NY, Endicott, NY and similar sites. Chemical plumes in groundwater and cancer clusters are common themes.

> Yes, Google promoted themselves on their own services, what's the problem with that?
> And yes, Google's products and services work best inside Google's browser.

So, you're saying that you think what Internet Explorer is a great browser? Because everything Google did, Microsoft did (modulo monopoly lawsuit) back in its day.

Back in its day, IE was the freshest kid on the block. Now the history repeats itself with Chrome. And I won't be surprised if in ten-twenty years Chrome will be treated like IE today.

> You're free not to use chrome or any of Google's services, there are other options, so Google is not a monopoly.

This doesn't make a monopoly. A monopoly doesn't need to own 100% of the market. What defines a monopoly is omnipresence and leveraging existing market imbalances to expand into other markets.

Plus delaying the time to destroy a single missile is still useful, even if it doesn't eventually make it, since an actual engagement is likely to involve more than one missile being launched. You could throw enough missiles to overwhelm a laser defense system and you might still come out cheaper than the laser defense system.

Knowing the kinds of things that run off into the gutter every time it rains, and all the horrible things that go down sinks and toilet bowls in every house, and never mind all the industrial factories and slag lagoons from mining and mineral processing, it has always felt like this staggeringly toxic runaway freight train must be clogging the gills of every fish on earth since the 1800's.

Whales were hunted to the brink of extinction, right up until petroleum took off, but what happens next feels so far gone that collapse feels pretty much certain.

Dark forces will kill themselves and take us with them. They'll trade wildlife from smog and call it progress.

And of course nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers will insist on those policies being upheld.

You can use gather operations: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22330322/dereference-poi...

And they are not "order of magnitude slower": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24756534/in-what-situati... Unless you operate in binary, of course.

Results from above suggest that you can leave 12.5% of your weights to be non-zero and get nice 4x speed up (1/8 operations done twice as slow). Accuracy start to drop at about 12.5% of weights remaining in both OP and OpenAI papers.
Dealers don't want to sell EV because their profits are from regular service which EV don't need -- except changing/rotating tires and once in a lifetime, replacing the brakes. There's no money to be made on EV service, so dealers don't sell them.

I visited an Audi store in Paris in Q3 2018, the only one in Europe that was showing the e-Tron at that time (which I was interested in). Guess what? The store manager himself told me not to buy the car. For bullshit reasons, of course, but his actual motives was that the company currently loses money on EV... Considering that Audi has full control the production and selling price, imagine how a dealership intend to sell the car that don't contribute to meaningful profit when they can try and sell "comparable" ICE?

Measuring Digital Transformation: It’s Not Rocket Science
I never understood the obsessive emphasis on the training of neural networks. Many people see neural networks as objects that you train. But this is just a small thing that you can do with them. Neural networks are, first and foremost, objects that compute. This computation can be tuned by setting some parameters, and one way to set these parameters is by training. But this is not the only way, and it is not necessarily the more interesting one.
And I forgot to emphasize - you can select what weights are non-zero beforehand, even before training anything. The network will route around that.

This means you do not need any training to decide what has to be zeroed.
thanks for your comment.
What else can I work on?

My problem is that it would be alright to be paying 5 pounds if I was selling something, but right now I have put the app for free on the play store to reach some users initially before selling it.
Should I try out making a paid version of the app for 5 pounds and advertise it?
Really? Maybe its because I work with biologists, but I have seen more and more non-techies with Linux desktops in recent years.
I see. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm pretty happy with e-Ink. I have the poorly named Kindle Paperwhite.

I sometimes read on my iPad and I tend to set the colors to either light gray text on a black background or black text on a light gray background during the day. For me, pure black on white isn't comfortable to look at so I dial the contrast down a bit.

If that’s the case, why didn’t they negotiate on that clause before they were hired?

Are you going to lend them your time machine so they can go back and change mistakes they made in the past? If not, I guess all they can do about mistakes made in the past is take action here in the present.

Hi Markku,

While a normal database can give you the knowns, e.g. that Bob has seen these products, and clicked on few: Aito can give you the unknowns: e.g. Bob might click on this item if he would see it. Another example is, that you may ask for a known product's tags in normal DB. In Aito, you may predict tags for a new, unknown product like this:

{
"from":"products",
"where":{
"name":"rye bread"
},
"predict":"tags"
}

Essentially: Aito serves the role of auxiliary database, a bit like ElasticSearch/Solr, but instead of providing you just the full text search functionality, it also provides you the AI functionality (predictions, matching, recommendation/personalization, statistical relation discovery)

Industries moving as local populations wise up to the health problems they cause has been going on for a long time. The book Toms River[0] briefly covers the history of the synthetic dye industry from its inception in Germany, moving to Cincinnati, OH, and subsequently to Toms River, NJ (then a sleepy backwater location).

The book is highly worth a read, and I was thinking about some of the outcomes in the book when I read the article and comments on Scientists Rise Up Against Statistical Significance[1] here.

Lousiana is particularly bad, but there is a huge stretch of I-10 in Texas from east Houston to the border leading into Lousiana that is lined with chemical plants that make things worse - I drove it about 30 years ago.

Octopods, a tool to connect Intercom to major messaging channels
Ignoring the racial dimension would be inaccurate, for two reasons. First, the fact is that the median income for black household is on the border of the bottom third for white households. So all the things that happen to poor households generally, like pollution, happen more intensively to black households.

Second, black neighborhoods are discounted in the public eye even in comparison to their income levels. I grew up in “progressive” northern Virginia, hearing about how PG County (a suburb of DC) was “ghetto.” Two decades later, when I moved next door, I was quite surprised to learn that PG County is just a middle class predominantly black county. One of the richest predominate black counties in the country, and richer than most counties in Virginia that nobody considers “the ghetto.” Those attitudes almost certainly impact peoples’ views about what places are desirable/undesirable/need renewal/etc.

Those two phenomena also intersect. Places are worth less because black people live there. Take the DC suburbs, for example. To the west and southwest of DC, you have the Virginia suburbs of Fairfax County, Alexandria, and Arlington. To the north, east, and southeast, you have the Maryland suburbs of Montgomery County and PG County. PG County is better served by Metro, both in number of lines and number of stations, than any other suburban county (and that's been true for 30+ years). In DC, property near a Metro station has appreciated incredibly over the past 25 years. Where has most of that growth happened? On the Virginia side, where there are white people and predominantly white schools. Even today, people are fighting through northern Virginia traffic from places like Reston to get to a Metro station that then takes 30 minutes to get to the city center. Meanwhile, they could get a house in a solidly middle class PG County neighborhood with a shorter trip downtown, for half the price. But they don't, because they do not want to send their kids to predominately black schools.
I disagree with this completely. If it was overall cheaper to build industrial infrastructure in so-called "white communities", companies would be doing it. This kind of capitalism largely concedes no such moral imperatives. Also, I am absolutely unconvinced that the zoning process is even remotely that simple. Reducing this to even the most ( unrealistically ) simple model, you end up with a chicken vs egg dilemma. If you put industrial zones in close proximity with areas of high socio-economic status, the economically mobile population living there will move away leaving an impoverished area behind. This is a gross oversimplification, but you should be able to see the problem. The relationship between undesirable industrial areas and poverty is indeed systemic, but it's not predatory.

Running my girlfriend's recipe blog on Python + Django + Wagtail CMS on a Heroku server, wired up to Google cloud storage. It ends up being completely free with the dev tier Heroku server and staying within the free tier of Google's cloud storage.

Purely from a technical perspective and ignoring the political implications, I don't think that phones are helping all that much. I travel quite frequently and work with a lot of people across the US (as well as Europe and India), who also travel frequently.

I keep tab of who is - or might be - where on any given day, simply to be able to coordinate schedules and not call folks who are in PST at 6am by accident (or have people call me at 9pm).

A system for messengers (Skype, Slack, Teams, Text ...) where people could share their current time zone would make my life so much easier sometimes.
