I was about to comment to snarkily refute the claim in the title, but then the author seemed to sarcastically do that in the article.
Linear is videotape or film, as in you don't have the ability to access any part of the content; you have to move through the content to find what you're looking for.

Non-linear is digital, so you can hit any part of it you want. "Random access" might be a better term, but that's the legacy.

The Basic Physics of the Kilogram's Fancy New Definition
Sure. For example, we know that IQ is correlated quite substantially (though far from perfectly) with the brain volume within all populations for which such measurement was made. There is a huge confounded here however, which is women having significantly smaller brains than men, but not scoring any worse on IQ tests, or being any less intelligent than men, even though smaller brained men tend to be less intelligent than larger brained men, and also smaller brained women tend to be less intelligent than larger brained women. It is thought that this apparent disparity is can be explained by increased “density” of neurons in some sections of women’s brains, compared to the same sections of men’s brains. I’m quite sure you can find references for it in Jensen’s “The g factor”.

We track for targeting, not for attribution. I don't see any benefit for the targeted individual or the advertiser coming out of this proposal. This proposal only brings benefits for the parties on the publisher chain who now have one more angle for committing fraud.
Agreed 1000%. Java is backward compared to C# - bolted on half baked features that are the opposite of elegant, a standard library that is built on the principle of 'why use 10 lines when a 1000 will do' and the tools/IDEs are a generation behind C#. As is the runtime speed.
Just FYI: ~3 months ago I went through reviewing a lot of the Linux available NLE video editors, and in the end I picked: Installing Windows on a spare drive and running Davinci Resolve. It is really next level, free, and everything else I looked at paled in comparison. Also there is a ton of educational content for Resolve on Youtube, which most of the others couldn't even come close to. I spent in total probably 5 hours trying to get it to work under Linux with no luck.

My runner-up was Lightworks, not open source but worked great on Linux. But it's $25/month if you want to export any high res content (I'm working in 4K from a cheap action cam).

I really wanted Olive to work, but it's pretty basic. I did a simple video with it as a trial and it worked ok. If I just needed to take a few clips and cut them together with transitions and fade in/out, that'd be a great choice.

But I want to publish things to Youtube and people have really taken it to the next level there. So I'm often doing multicam cuts and stabilizing and adding titles and things. Davinci is nice because it can do the simple stuff, but you won't outgrow it.

Resolve 16 has a new editing mode that focuses on quickly cutting together video and it looks pretty nice. I haven't used it yet though.

Resolve 16 beta is still a little unstable. I just re-installed 15 last night to edit a school video for my son. Also, I was having performance problems until I switched my footage to ProRes format, H.264 didn't really work. Also there are settings to use quarter res and smart caching and "SQ" playback that help performance on my 7 year old box (with modern video card).
The technical reason to use a CDN with aws s3 is so that you can have a custom domain name with https. s3 will do http custom domains, but to get https you proxy it. In this case, you can think of Cloudfront as the proxy.

This proposal allows Apple to say "look, we're giving you the actual functionality you need" and the advertisers completely lose any legitimacy whatsoever to their complaints, as all they're left with is asking for a way to violate user privacy.

They don't share pandas at all - the pandas are 'rented out' to zoos around the world and subject to intense negotiation and strict contracts. Any baby pandas born on foreign soil still belong to China. So, no, they don't 'share' pandas at all.

What does it make "professional"? I would expect zero crashes from that, as compared to any other "non-professional" open-source video editor I used so far.
Well, human children do train their vision in a lot of different ways while playing, and probably very early develop a mechanism for dealing with all kinds rotated objects.

For some objects though, even adults are not instantly good, reading text upside down is something that is initially very hard, but with some practice it can be done, I've met some teachers that can do it from years of tutoring people from other sides of desks.

History is littered with purpose built languages and notation for mathematics, logic, music and law etc. A language guides (or limits) one's thoughts, offering a particular set of abstractions. Functional programming is very close to logic and particularly amenable to mathematical reasoning and static analysis - exactly what one needs in order to safely compose large programs from small ones.

And please read the second part of my statement.

If the punishments are minuscule, it'll just be a cost of doing business. Or better yet, there may be no fines at all.

What happened with Yahoo? Equifax? Mariott? Adult Friend Finder? Target? eBay?

Each of those has hundreds of millions of people involved in massive breaches. Do they still exist? Were they fined appropriately for the impact they caused?

(Admittedly Yahoo isn't the best of examples, because they were in a downslide with no good market. But nor were they fined for a breach of every account.)
Every Node app I've ever worked on has had a high-ranking team member who advocated for adherence to idiomatic JS, and particularly against the use of functional concepts as expressed by libraries like Sanctuary and Fluture, so as to be readable and maintainable by "ordinary" JS developers (who are apparently assumed to be incapable of learning such concepts).

Lisp -- even transpiled to JS for ingestion by Node -- is patently out of consideration on such a project.
I'm still an oddity among my friends for playing Nethack, Dwarf Fortress, and various MUDs over the current graphical offerings. Something about those games and the level of detail afforded to being purely in text, without the graphical overhead, makes them endlessly entertaining and full of depth to me.

Not to say there aren't some great games out there today that manage both, like Rimworld for example.
C# got it right from day one, regarding value types.

AOT compilation not so much, given the NGEN constraints.

However they got it both wrong, considering CLU, Modula-3, Delphi and Eiffel are considered influencial languages on their design.

This is because it allows editors to move clips around irrespective of time order (non-linear time), in contrast with linear editing [1] where you build an edit by assembling the master in sequential order (ie, by recording from one reel/tape to another).

> The majority of religious groups on the planet are in favour of discrimination against homosexuals

The majority of the people on the planet are, sadly. Religion isn't a useful distinction.

> Also, almost all opposition to equal rights for homosexuals comes from religious groups and individuals.

That belief is one of the distortions of the truth I was talking about and why Russia and China are relevant to the discussion.

> Also, I have no clue why you are constantly using Russia, a majority religious country, as an example of atheists doing things.

The Soviets were militant atheists and oppressed homosexuals. It's not clear what Putin's religious beliefs are, but he didn't start the oppression anyway.

> If you are religious...

For the record, while my beliefs should not be relevant to the discussion, since you brought them up, I'm an atheist.

But sometimes I'm able to defend beliefs I don't agree with.
A sharp stone on a stick has also worked just fine as a weapon for literally thousands of years in a variety of locations. That doesn't mean it makes any sense to use it today. This is just a bad argument.

Ads provide a lot of exposure instead of just eliciting a direct response. Better tracking for ads benefits content publishers and service providers, many of which users enjoy. You don't have to click on an ad for ads to have value.
The report states multiple instances where he attempted to fire the special counsel or interfered with the investigation. Being upset does not make obstruction any less a crime; the report specifically states that it does not clear the president of obstruction of justice.

You are literally arguing that if you feel you are innocent, you are able to obstruct an investigation because you know you are innocent. That is not how justice works and is circular logic that empowers officials to cover up their own misdeeds. Obstruction is a crime in itself because it prevents an investigation from proceeding and shows a guilty conscience.
More likely the banker will invest it in low performing actively managed mutual funds and slowly drain 1-2% in additional "management fees" out of him...
Lawmakers and the public would almost certainly balk at billions in "finders fees" being just given to the banks, even if the money did come from seizures of the illicit assets.

The 737s are the most common airliner in the world, more than 10000 have been built, and more than 1000 are in the air right now. The pre-MAX 737s are just fine (though it had some issues with the rudder in the 90s, and, well, nearly 2% of all 737s built have been lost (184 hull losses) with nearly 5000 fatalities. Goes to show how much they fly.)
Wasn't Europe always like that though? I don't think that has to do with petrol prices.
During the 2016-2017 New Year I did an intense look into Purescript. I bought the LeanPub book and did all kinds of stuff with it. More recently I did a look into ReasonML. I bought the Pragprog book and worked through that. For me, it came down to Haskell vs OCaml. I'll admit, I have a serious love for OCaml/F#, so I immediately was excited about ReasonML. Many concepts just transferred very easily. Purescript felt very academic once I got into trying to build real things. Watching Phil Freeman's talks/Google Hangouts on building cool new projects really was eye-opening. That guy thinks on an entirely new level... who knows, maybe most Haskellers do? I have a sincere appreciation for Haskell, but I have yet to bend my mind around it, so Purescript left me in the same place - I felt like I wasn't really grokking it. I should stress that this is ME, so you may have an entirely different experience. I'm not saying that Purescript was bad at all.... it just wasn't clicking very well.
> the US deliberately poisoned Vietnamese people

The US recklessly poisoned people; the Vietnam campaign had a disregard for Vietnamese life. The herbicide campaign, initially intended to clear forest cover, spread to deliberate use against crops to starve the population. The use of napalm was similar in its widespread civilian casualties.

https://www.news.com.au/world/asia/vietnams-horrific-legacy-...

"Nearly 4.8 million Vietnamese people have been exposed, causing 400,000 deaths; the associated illnesses include cancers, birth defects, skin disorders, auto-immune diseases, liver disorders, psychosocial effects, neurological defects and gastrointestinal diseases."

"According to the Red Cross of Vietnam, up to one million people are currently disabled or have health problems due to Agent Orange, 100,000 of which are children."

If any of the Nazis had ordered this they would rightly have been put up against a wall and shot.
I've been thinking about using PureScript years ago as I've enjoyed the PureScript by Example book [0] and the language that seems like a cleaned-up version of Haskell.

I didn't like that the compiler is not written in PureScript (although there was a proof of concept [1]. Additionally, even though it compiles to JavaScript, the code that is generated is sub-optimal performance-wise [2].

Ultimately I used TypeScript and have been happy with that but still long for better FP language that generates lean code and can be used in a browser.

Your writes are always going to return a write model, and that won't account for indexing problems when you don't return an error - so your clients may naively equate a non-error response as a success. If you're the one writing the client, maybe that's not a problem. If you have several consumers who don't know the ins and outs of your system, that might be a very serious problem.

This is the problem with CQRS. The answer to so many of these little tweaks depends on a ton of system knowledge and contracts and promises, and it's really really easy to make the wrong choice.
Nice, I like it. Thanks!
[Javascript isn't actually that bad of a language. It really is about 90% of Scheme plus prototype inheritance, which takes some getting used to but ... eh, it's as good as any other option. The problem was that it was one of the battlefields between Microsoft and Netscape and has some really hideous scars in the landscape.]

I did not write this. My fingers did not type it. Nothing to see here. Move along. I'm a hedge.

It made me think that a lot of the hatred towards the changing landscape of SF is really just generational warfare. Older, established generations seem to resent the few millennials who have managed to eek out a halfway decent living for themselves despite everything.

Edit: I don’t think it’s intentional, but it’s unavoidable that complaints about “our city’s culture is changing” really come down to “our generation’s culture was better than your generation’s culture.”
Really? I didn't see anything about Russia in that article. It seemed mostly about sweetheart loans for Trump in exchange for holding money or buying bonds from Deutsche.
That is this time - the time we're discussing. So what's the other time that makes this not the first time?
OK? You raised a valid point that there may be a negative policy consequence, then abruptly undermined it by saying "we'll just make them pay it anyway." I mean, that's the point. We're paying for externalities with regards to energy creation one way or another. To not pay for "dirty" energy out of pocket now is just kicking the can down the road. Plus there's myriad positives to tipping the balance of incentives toward renewables.

I suppose conservatives might oppose such legislation because it would be an opposing view, but... well hell, who am I kidding. It's not like they have any other reason to exist now besides being contradictory.

Has anyone here used it for video editing? I had initially thought about using Blender because it's been around a long time and seems to be pretty popular and serious. But what I've heard about it was always in reference to 3D capabilities so it wasn't clear to me that it was the right choice if I was only doing video editing tasks.

I mean, I've seen Captain Disillusion's "Worlds Greatest Blenderer" presentation, and I love his work which seems to be largely done in Blender. But he does a ton of 3D stuff, and he's way, way better than I'll ever be. I'm pretty sure he works in the industry. If you haven't seen his stuff on Youtube, it's one of my and my kids favorite channels and he's been doing it for a decade.
> One potential explanation was quasi-eugenic. As in the movie “Idiocracy,” it was suggested that average intelligence is being pulled down because lower-IQ families are having more children ("dysgenic fertility" is the technical term). Alternatively, widening immigration might be bringing less-intelligent newcomers to societies with otherwise higher IQs.

> However, a 2018 study of Norway has punctured these theories by showing that IQs are dropping not just across societies but within families. In other words, the issue is not that educated Norwegians are increasingly outnumbered by lower-IQ immigrants or the children of less-educated citizens. Even children born to high-IQ parents are slipping down the IQ ladder.

Then why is the EU banning random things without being able to definitively attribute any negative effects to them?

That's easy. It's for two reasons:

1. Trade barriers. The WTO mechanisms are full of holes. The so-called "precautionary principle" is just a justification to ensure that anything new the US invents can be instantly be made illegal in the EU until it can be "shown to be safe", i.e. the EU assumes everything to be dangerous by default until it decides otherwise. Actual science showing it's dangerous is not required. This is a great way to work around WTO rules on tariffs by abusing safety regulation and in particular protect French farming from genetically modified American imports. Americans aren't exactly dying en-masse from eating GM food (except maybe from obesity because food is so cheap), but pretending it's dangerous is a great way to block imports whilst avoiding a WTO dispute.

2. The EU regulatory apparatus is enormous. It has a staff of 32,000 people in the Commission alone, and many more in associated agencies. Many of these jobs are created for political reasons, for instance, countries are theoretically able to appoint one Commissioner each (in practice the head of the commission, Juncker, blocks any proposed appointment he doesn't like - this isn't meant to happen by treaty but does) and each Commissioner needs a staff.

But more importantly, unlike in democratic governments, the Parliament does not create law. The Commission does that, and as a consequence the quantity of regulations the EU creates is staggering compared to any normal government. The throughput of regulations banning things is limited in democracies by the size of the chamber: there's only so much a group of a few hundred people can do after all. But there are so many regulations being churned out by the EU that the Parliament has rubber-stamp votes over 1000 times per week. You can see a video about the deleterious effects this rate of voting has here:

Only for men, though. And in the case of Sweden, specifically, IQ and fertility were positively correlated for men who were born in the postwar period.

Songg – Share music with a single link
This is a really arrogant statement. In C, `if(a = b)` could cause incredibly subtle bugs. It was prominent enough that it got addressed in all the best practices books, like "Writing Solid Code", with a style that got later termed "yoda conditions" - a style that was prominent in spite of being acknowledged as less readable, because it forced a compiler error more often. It's hard to even think of many other types of bug with that kind of significance, and you just dismissed it out of hand with "I don't make those kinds of mistakes".
Ok fine "victim's family". I stand corrected. It's not like when we change the words to describe it, is going to change how they feel.
