I don’t consider any adobe app that I’ve ever use to be Mac-like honestly. For 95% of my usecases, sketch and pixelmator do the job. I’m hoping this program takes care of the 5% gap in features i need for very specific vector drawing.

I don’t use the advanced features of illustrator, partially due to my design style and partially because I’m too lazy to learn them. I’m glad alternatives to Illustrator exist in the market. It’s nice that I don’t have to pay 50$ a month or whatever absurd price adobe charges for cc these days.
That money was already paid back, not sure what you're talking about.

> they have barcode on 5 or 6 sides of their products, and they're typically huge! They nearly never need to orient a product to scan it. Their scan speed is far faster than any other supermarket I've been at

Scan speed is never a bottleneck of a checkout process. Packing and payment are. They might be saving millisecond on scan time, but the paper and printing of a label cost money too. Not sure if it’s the best showcase of efficiency here

> depositing a quarter for a cart eliminates the need to pay people to collect carts

It also makes people not want to go there if they don’t have spare change. And if they go without a cart, they will definitely spend less
Three.js Fundamentals
The startup using tech to foster students’ connections across the globe
The whole thing is written from a first-person perspective. It’s titled “... now I think”. It’s so exceedingly obvious that it is an opinion piece, even having the “perspective” line in the header seems like overkill to me....
not sure myself, I'm way out of my depth here, but a friend who knows much more about this sort of stuff, told me it's probably something to do with mobile connections. Apparently slow landline connections and bad cellular connections like 3G are unreliable in different ways. Also most mobile phones, definitely all iPhones, not sure about Android, can't go higher than 16kHz when it comes to audio calls, so anything better is pointless. Maybe it's just M$ and trying to save some pennies on the infra, especially that they're not p2p any more (also b/c mobile connections and restrictive NATS). I know They're supposedly not that bad any more, but considering what they've done to Skype's other aspects, I wouldn't be surprised really.
Well, spaceflight is a big industry though. Or do you mean human spaceflight?
Not a machine learning guy, but are the internals of the popular frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.) vastly different? Are they mostly different in algorithm implementations, or are there more philosophical differences?
Ah, OK. I've had a pretty hard time understanding Stellar's model. It seems pretty complicated.
Counterpoint: my Compaq Presario 1210 survived for about 20 years before it finally stopped POSTing. Even the original hard drive still worked (albeit with a range of bad sectors around which I had to partition).
I find that funny because we were taught growing up that leaving your cart out keeps the cart-collecting people employed, kind of like refusing to use the self-service checkout -- a different decent thing!
Or because it’s a surprising opinion coming from an nuclear power insider, and people might be interested to read it?
Exactly, and no one does. So the typical outcome is a shelf that sits empty for days at a time, annoying customers and earning $0 for either the store or the soft-drink distributor.

It's not just junk food, either -- they will cheerfully leave half their organic cereal aisle empty, waiting for restocked product that either never arrives or sells out instantly. This phenomenon is observable on timescales measured in weeks or even months.

It's possible that the cereal distributor is actually leasing that shelf space, of course... in which case the annoying situation is still caused by morons with money who aren't taking care of business.

Rivian R1T Pickup Is First All-Electric Truck at Overland Event
This CNN News Story paid for by Aldi
Hitting the 1 year mark. So close to being a lost cause. Stopped applying for software engineering jobs early on. Now waiting tables near Google HQ and consider myself unemployable in tech after 19 years, starting at age 15. A shame. Still paying for the CS degree I got mid-career, thinking it was an investment and now it mocks me with default threats. The interview process is no place for a homeless person.
Then you have to play fair. How many died constructing wind turbines? How many mining, refining, processing, transporting the construction materials and equipment? How many died of pollution generated in the manufacturing process. Etc...

Admittedly, I don't know the actual data, but as far as I understand, people have made attempts to factor in these kinds of side costs, like estimating deaths caused by Chernobyl, and even with those factors, nuclear still comes out looking a lot safer.

It would be fair to say that if AMD had the features but implemented in a way that wasn't vulnerable. That, however, is not the case. AMD simply lacks the features.
Is tech still exponential?
Moores law is dead, and we should be glad of it. Change at a scale we can adapt with is good. We’ll be adapting to the havok created by exponential tech for a while to come, but some might say it’s finally slowed down.
In my experience, people leave their carts in the designated spot, mostly well nested. And a store clerk has to come out for about 5 minutes to bring them back every hour or so.

I don't feel like that amount of labor is a tremendous cost for the supermarket.
Not as old, but I’m still running an HP3600n color printer going on 13 or 14 years now. Just toner changes every couple of years.
>It also makes people not want to go there if they don’t have spare change.

I think it fits the philosophy. They aim at customers that have a mindset to go out and save. They are prepared. They're willing to work a bit to save money, but hope to compromise a bit less on quality.
Went through this process with my school and was continually denied. Had letters from relatives, a psychologist, and a school counselor and was not declared as a dependent on my dad's taxes throughout undergrad. I didn't live with or speak to my father for the entirety of undergrad and beyond...still didn't make a difference.
That is about the opposite of what works for me. A total absence of other signals isn't good. What I need is an "attention sponge". When attention lifts for a moment from the actual work, the "attention sponge" will hold it for a while, but that sponge is specifically chosen to not hold on to it.

An example is a background where a TV series runs that I watched 9 times already, let's say Babylon 5. The work computer has an attention accident (maybe just slow or whatever). My attention lifts from work, and B5 catches it before it goes off who knows where. Since B5 is not interactive and since I've seen it 9 times already it easily releases the attention so that it can go back to work.

When Lidl came to Sweden most people didn't like to shop there because of their short conveyor belts after the cashier [0] relative to the regular Swedish ones [1][2], so you felt stressed when shopping there. There were no room for your groceries. Usually you put your stuff on the belt, the cashier scans it and moves it along, you pay, and then you pack it in your bags.

It took them four years, then they changed to the same ones everyone else uses.

Feel free to point out if there's something factually incorrect in my statement. Bear in mind 59% of hispanic Americans view their ethnicity as extremely to very important to their identity (compared to 15% of whites) [1], so it's not unfounded to say their votes would be influenced by ethnic self-interest.

With the super-computers sold at Best Buy? Good question....
I'm not sure the criticism in that blog has much to with anything. HATEOAS is about an approach to managing application state, not self-documenting APIs.

I suppose it still gets at the big problem with a restful approach: nobody really gets it.

(Personally, I think there are some great ideas in that dissertation, but HATEOAS isn't one of them. At least as far as I can tell.)
‘Misfits of Nature’ Taught French-Canadian Philosopher How to Live

Anything outside of telecommunications or earth observation. Human spaceflight is a different can of worms with the additional dilemma of that no large hardware failures can occur. Rockets fail a lot, people dying is bad for PR, and thus you need a really good reason to send a person. The thing then is what do you do with people in space that makes enough money to warrant it? Basically nothing. Thus the lack of any human spaceflight other than research purposes.
When I read the title and the first paragraph, I thought to myself, "Hmm, I didn't know Charles was a Python committer. And why does this article appear on his personal blog?"
The sales aren't announced. They just happen. There have been many times when I specifically went to buy triscuits, and couldn't do it because they happened to be on sale.
Because roller carry ons don’t make your shoulder tired, especially when waiting in the lines. And my roller is probably smaller than most people’s backpack.

This Tumi Voyageur 4 wheeled carry-on bag fits even in the regional jump jet bins, and under the seat of full size planes:

16” x 14” x 7.5” = https://www.tumi.com/p/osona-compact-carry-on-01100001077/

I often business travel 6 full business days with this bag, including a sport coat, dress shirts, etc., in fact I’m heading to CNCF with it right now. (Have leisure traveled 3 weeks with it.)

It is the smallest sensible 4-wheel roller I’ve found, but I’m always on the lookout for others. This bag though, I’ve never once been asked to check.

Tumi also has slightly larger options, but they won’t fit under the seat or in the regional jet bins:

16” x 16” x 8.5” = https://www.amazon.com/TUMI-Carry-Wheeled-Briefcase-Computer...

15” x 17” x 8” = https://www.tumi.com/p/compact-4-wheeled-brief-01171781041/

I can’t imagine anyone choosing to be exposed to that level of risk of disease, violence, weather and conflict with the authorities, at least not in a big city.
I think you've completely missed the point. It should be very rare to need to ship a fork of a project to end users. Patches should first be targeted at the upstream project, but in the rare case where it needs to be used today you should follow this path instead of messing up the API. By doing this you can explicitly set expectations that the changes you are making are temporary and will be deprecated immediately once you get back in sync with master.

As an end user this is ideal, I can get a fix shipped today with the tradeoff that I will have to do a bit of maintenance in the future. Any other way leads to long waits, or chaos.
Nah, definitely not that. Just ups their permissions to that of a super user / admin in their company.
You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din!

I think I'll wait a year or two after they let it fly again, just to make sure that it's sufficiently safe.
> Presumably this should cause most companies in the EU to announce, within 72 hours, a data breach, since it allows any salesforce user to gain any permissions and view/leak/copy/steal any data on any customer in the org.

Presumably most users already have an NDA signed? Doesn't that cover PII?
I've not seen these in the UK for a couple of decades.

Indeed they've reduced the space at the end of checkouts. Aldi have a tiny area so you can't pack easily at the checkout (you're supposed to take it to a packing area). But Tesco removed the extra space, reduced their post-checkout space, and will now both offer to pack for you, and wait until you finish before starting to serve the next person.

I'm not really sure of the rationale: I think they can fit more checkouts in if they're narrower, but also if you want to not wait you might do self-checkout of one kind or other.
It's sort of like if you walked by a bank and saw a bundle of money unattended in the lobby rather than the vault. Technically maybe you could get outside with the bundle, but keeping out of trouble long enough to enjoy the big screen TV you try to buy? ... Don't bet in it.
I haven't seen a pogo stick since the 80's.
So instead of sending the data to Google encrypted for them to analyze, it analyzes the data on your device and sends that data to Google encrypted for them to combine the results.

But your data still gets sent to Google. I don't see the difference. It's just another layer on top.
For me one of these sorts of situations, it got so bad I started cancelling flights and hotel reservations as they came in. That gave the person who had the errant email address enough incentive to actually fix it.
Indeed, profitability is a very subjective definition of worthiness.
It used to be one of the main things they did, but they spun it out into a separate company about 10 years ago.

They were failing to keep up with Intel in fabrication process because of the massive capital and R&D expenditure required. They decided they would be better off having a choice of fab partners instead.
I think that they should not make so many thing to be illegal. However, people who use that kind of GPT-2 and stuff to make fake news should be given a bad reputation if the news isn't accurate. (They should also be given a bad reputation if you just make up stuff and say it is proper news, even if you do not use a computer to do so.)
You seem to suggest people have that expectation, but I think it might be very culture specific. Where I come, people will not freak out if it takes you a day to respond to an SMS.
The way most companies operate, most of their Sales people could do this on any given day anyway. Salesforce can track those activities though.

If you’re paying for PR firms to produce cartoons about how good you are for privacy, you’re probably terrible for privacy.

This feels like Google’s Joe Camel moment.
Nah, it’s more akin to an employ coming in one day and seeing that the vault door is just open, and thinking they might poke around a bit / pocket some bundles of cash...
Except they usually handle most of those bundles of cash day to day anyway.
“They are uneducated, backwards, mouth-breathing bigots! My tribe was tricked by using words that we have a negative reaction to.” Oh wait.
One time when I was the last customer to shop before closing (yes, our stores close over night) a store employee bagged my groceries while I payed for them. It felt extremely awkward and I felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do. So I just stood there, watching as somebody else packed my stuff, smiled, said thank you, and left feeling really weird. I don't know how other people do it regularly.
Thanks for the updates, Fabien. I purchased a hard copy of the Wolf 3D book and have found it incredibly insightful. You've got a knack for breaking down complex subjects into easy to parse gems of information. Looking forward to the Quake book!
Did Intel promise you a CPU that would be impervious to all potential security vulnerabilities, currently known and unknown in perpetuity?
I love all Aldi's! The main reasons are : 1. Time - I can be in and out in 10 minutes. 2. Prices - the prices are about 20 to 30% cheaper then the other major grocery chain near me.

Also, it's the only brand that I will praise to random people, that's how much I love it.
You and fazzone have posted different answers. I'm a little unclear on which matches the original intent, but your where clause is equivalent to:

I'm eagerly awaiting their sparse matrix support. It's unbelievable that the entire JVM doesn't have a single comprehensive, production quality sparse matrix library [0]. This is one of the big things keeping my machine learning in Python.
My way to do it is: Read all of the instructions, and then write a program. If the program is wrong, then correct it. If something is unclear, see if there are examples, and possibly parts of other programs can also be used as a example.

I'm sorry, friend, but it's strikingly obvious that you're not. I hope you can be, again, someday.

Your root cause - is it loops of mental and physical pain? If so, have you by chance experimented with psychedelics for "rewiring neural pathways"?

Sorry if this has been asked of you before - just not worth missing potentially benefitting someone.
This isn't really the case, though. Lots of options are completely orthogonal (e.g. tabs vs spaces and function brace style don't really affect each other). My experience with clang-format has been that each option (mostly) only affects a single token type, which is determined using clang as a backend. I've only seen satisfactory results.

If you don't have as powerful a backend as the full clang paraer/lexer on the other hand, I could quickly see things breaking as you described.
Amazon is always Amazon’s #1 customer when they enter a new market.
I didn't find any of it good besides the introduction which motivated me to look into Chinese history more. The author thinks too much of himself and tries too hard to appear smart. This is tedious. I can draw a sharp contrast between this author and Neal Stephenson, who is brilliant and introduces many new ideas / explains computing in a way that has motivated many people to study it.

TBP's characters are comical. Not much else to say - the womanizer slacker obsessing over the quiet girl was too much to keep reading. Well, that, and some of the "brilliant defense strategies."
First, I've loved that Google open sourced Tensor Flow Federated as a way to encourage the rest of the world to adopt this method of decentralized machine learning.

Second, I was a bit disheartened that this concept had to be explained with a comic strip to make it accessible because I hoped the benefits were clear to everyone.

Third, I read the comic strip, learned new things (secure aggregation protocol, wtf, amazing!), kicked myself for being smug and appreciated the huge amount of effort that someone invested to communicate this.
I run a high traffic web service in the cloud. Well over a billion requests served per month from the origin. We run our CPU's around ~60%.

We've seen maybe a 2% hit from spectre & meltdown mitigations. It's hard to even tell because it's a small enough amount that it tends to get lost in the noise.
For a technical sales job, I would have people do a role play about suggesting a technology. They’d always start saying “I would tell them about...” and I’d pause and ask them to tell me the thing, not talk about telling me.

My point is that I believe hypotheticals take a lot pressure off and allow you to be super vague in interviews. For the past, talk about real situations. For the present, do a role play.

If these things didn't happen in the past to the same degree then something must have changed. It seems unlikely that it is human nature that has changed.
