Thanks to generics and the ease of publishing packages, those aren’t usually “custom” in Rust programs; you import a package that has them implemented for you. Just like you import ones from the standard library.

Even then, that’s still a very small amount of the overall code in a given project.
Hard for him to forget that -- take a look at who you're responding to.
This is a religious stance and not how the world actually works, nor does it have anything to do with the previous discussion of the relative moralities and freedoms of countries. Since you think North Korea is the same as the US, there's nothing further to discuss here.
I always thought that the "ultimate laptop" , in other words nature, has a fundamental limit of computation due to entropy as Seth Lloyd prescribed. So we know Moore's Law isn't dead yet, crowning terms like Nevin's will create a stream of self-ordained Laws , and this will not help at all. I think it is more important to be contrarian, and be against quantum computing like Gil Kalai than push a Moore's Law narrative on mesoscopic materials. I would go against any effort to create a theory of exponentiation . I think this is such a weak paradigm since we haven't yet even figured out what a classical quantum computer would do. In a sense, quantum computing needs an upper bound due to its computational complexity rather than anticipated supremacy. https://www.quantamagazine.org/gil-kalais-argument-against-q...
I was going to leave a similar comment, but decided not to. Anyway, I mostly agree with you -- I never refer to myself as "X-American" where X is some European country, because first of all I don't care much about it, and second I know how ridiculous it sounds to people who were born and raised in country X.

On the other hand, I also think the Swedish-American OP has an understandable point. Cultural group identification is a natural, strong human urge, and it can be a bit arbitrary and not objectively correspond to actual observable culture or to ancestry.

I wouldn't tell someone living in Serbia who identifies as a Croat that that's nonsense because from an outsider's perspective their culture is 99% indistinguishable from that of a Serb. They have their own reasons for identifying as part of that group, and it's important to them. And similarly I don't really think it's illegitimate for Nth generation white Americans to feel that they are "Swedish" or "Irish" in some way that means something to them. (With the understanding that, yes, they are culturally quite different from someone actually raised in Stockholm or Cork).
> At the time, early 2016, aero was the next greatest advance in the cycling tech space; like the Giant Propels and Specialized Venges it was pitched against, the Leopard featured a snugly tucked rear wheel, a wind-cheating profile and hidden cabling.

It kind of seems like the opposite is true here...
Chat history seems like the issue to me. My company has tons of institutional knowledge locked away in slack channels.
I don’t know a single enterprise client that enables external Slack users. People are far too careless with what they share in IM (like private SSH keys and IP addresses), and Slack history is a juicy target for hackers diving for secrets.

Enterprise users usually just use it for internal messaging.
No, "pure function" is an actual term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function
It's still crazy to me that a $16B company can't make the financials of a true native app for Windows and macOS work. Microsoft has some real soul searching to do to fix up Windows development and make it easier and more attractive to companies. Thankfully it seems like both Microsoft and Apple are at least trying to make things easier. Apple will probably do the best with Project Catalyst (I mean, they already got Twitter!), but Microsoft is investing in React Native for Windows which could prove really interesting. Hopefully Microsoft doesn't settle for just making Electron better.
No me neither, totally agree. Both are channels for growth. I just mean I see the expanding existing users channel dwarfing the acquiring new customers channel in terms of speed of growth. At this point I see it being significantly easier for them to 2x an average user's subscription through more services than 2x their entire userbase.
A Guide to Better B2B Sales
I've worked at companies both with and without Slack. Something like Slack might be mission critical for a remote-first company, but comparing the two situations, I've actually noticed better communication without Slack than with it.
The point is that the CEO was open minded (he took a phone call from a janitor... and actually listened to him and then gave him a chance). He saw past this mans lack of education and experience and focused on his dedication and enthusiasm. There's value in everyone, everywhere (even the lowest employees). We need leaders who can put ego aside and see that. IMO, that was the point of the story. The subsequent success of this man is another story entirely (and a good one I bet). I'm just glad that someone recognized his talent.

Edit: Credit also goes to the secretary for putting the call through to the CEO and not acting as a gate-keeper. She could have ended the call. Thankfully, she was open minded too.
Diversity of what exactly? None of those physical qualities have anything to do with your talents, motivations, passions, interests, and ability to actually do the job.

A wide range of backgrounds, opinions, and thought processes is good and what everyone wants, but forcing diversity based on people's unchangeable physical attributes is nothing but injustice masquerading as morality.

If you can't sell it as a whole, sell it in pieces.

Now, you know you have spent a lot of hours on building your project which means it's likely you solved some problems that other people with similar interests and projects may have faced or are still facing. If you already have a solution for for a problem, try selling it.

If you aren't able to sell it and If open sourcing is possible for that part of your codebase that solves a problem then you could try getting sponsors/donations/etc and GitHub recently introduced that. This will allow you to showcase your skills and worth for your "code". I say "code" because that's all that it is to me. I don't know what it does, I don't know how maintainable it is, I don't know if it's well tested. It's very hard to sell just "code" based on "work hours".

Now using this approach, you might just be able to establish some worth for your whole project by advertising it as, Uses the popular, scalable and battle tested "your open sourced code" - also by me

Now I'm not sure how useful these things might be to you. Just my two cents. Good luck.
Interesting to see another cloud provider go with Quadro chips. NVIDIA repackages the same silicon under several different brands (GeForce, Quadro, GRID, Tesla) and we (https://paperspace.com) have found Quadro to offer the best price/performance value. Despite minor performance characteristics, such as FP16 support in the Tesla family, Quadros can run all of the same workloads eg graphics, HPC, Deep Learning etc. If you’re interested in a similar instance for less $/hr, check out the Paperspace P6000.
Think of it as a vaccine for community. My grandfather passed away recently too. He had been 2 weeks away from death at the slightest sickness for two years.

At the point of failure, his heart was at 10%, lungs at 20%, kidney on dialysis, swelling in body, GI bleeding, but conscious and tired.

All were treatable but only after surgery which nobody was sure he could endure.

When things got bad, there was no option but surgery. He passed away shortly after emergency surgery.

The grandchildren witnessed and were there to take care of him. They witnessed the parents taking care of him. They witnessed family coming together and LIVING. They were part of a tradition that needs to live on. Because deep inside it nurtures a thing called care and love. In community.

The sick and dying exist and persist to nurture a calmness in our communities and it is essential in an era when time is moving faster than life.

There is a saying that goes like "Curse be he who witnesses his parents reach old age but does not take care of them." Not everyone is fortunate to witness that."
My question is where the hell is that money going?

That money is all the cash flow in some entire minor industries. It’s the GDP of some minor lower/mid-economy nations’ cities. Their losses are equal to half the entire GDP of Palau.

Maybe I’m detached. But I don’t understand the cash flow in chat apps today. It’s absolutely bizarre amounts of money for something that can and will easily be replaced in a few years, as always happens.

we have a somewhat popular open source project on TF 1.x
However, we decided that for it’s successor we would go with Pytorch. Because going from TF 1.x to TF 2.x seemed to be almost as much hassle as just going to Pytorch from TF and Pytorch seems to be more popular in research community now and is more mature than TF2.

Having said that, I like where TF 2 is going and tbh not a big fan of facebook as a company, so I am looking forward to using TF2 someday
> You probably don't. There is much added value in an actual university experience

OP already has a bachelor’s degree, so they may have already gone through the “university experience”. I agree it’s a valuable experience to have at least once in life, but OP may be older and not have the patience or desire to go through that part again.
For me, the voice channels are actually off-putting. I've never been a gamer and don't like the idea of feeling like I'm chatting on the phone with strangers. Text feels much more comfortable.

Thanks for your response. It is good to get feedback from somebody who has used Discord as I am just about to launch a new community on Slack. I will stick with Slack for now.
Car ownership is not just a given. Instead of owning a car, you could lease a pick-up truck. That would get you around pretty well, especially if you get one with AWD. Fill the back with cooking gear so you can have food. If you want to be real cheap about that, route the exhaust up into a smoker so that the truck heats your food as you drive.
> I'm an Indian living in the US. If I see another brown skinned person who does not look Indian, what should I call them?

If you are in a rare situation where you need to describe their appearance, Latino or Hispanic would work. At the end of the day, if you're speaking in good faith, people will understand that.

I don't get what the big deal is about someone using latinx is. It's not a pejorative, and it makes some small subset feel better, so what's the loss to anyone?
There are traces of life greater than 3 billion years old. If there averaged 1 generation every 3 years we're into the billions. Smaller organisms tend to reproduce faster than larger ones, and our ancestors, all inclusive, have mostly been microscopic.
Still way too much money when a 2x 2080Ti comparably specced machine under my desk costs less than 2.5 months of their billing rate, and 4x 1080Ti servers in my garage cost about 1 month of their 4-GPU machine _and_ have more SSD storage. This pricing is totally insane, especially if not billed per-minute (which in Linode's case it is not) and if there are no cheaper preemptible/spot instances.

> Slack also has a disastrous "feature" wherein any user can cause the SlackBot to send a message to another user. In an open instance (which Slack seems wont to discourage), this means that a user can easily impersonate another user and purport to be sending messages in an official capacity.

Could you tell me more about that? How is that done and is there a way for workspace owners to prevent it?
This is true even in ecosystems that have namespacing. And in hybrid systems, like npm’s, the non-namespaces versions are almost universally more popular than the namespaced ones.

It's definitely not for everyone (or every kind of community), but I've had reasonable success with it in a mostly-remote workplace where voice channels can help emulate desk-to-desk interactions with your immediate team, but as a purely opt-in process compared to a real open-office where you open yourself up to disruptions by anyone at any given moment all the time, and have no opt-out mechanism outside of leaving your desk and camping in a conference room.

Not sure what sort of community you're launching, but if it's for coding definitely check out Spectrum. The Apollo team made a great post about their search for a new community platform and landed on Spectrum due to a couple of reasons that might apply to you as well: https://blog.apollographql.com/goodbye-slack-hello-spectrum-...

TL;DR: The product itself is open source, it has a mechanism for longer-form discourse like traditional forums as well as real-time chat, and is fully index-able by search engines.

Wish you the best on your launch!

XLNet: Generalized Autoregressive Pretraining for Language Understanding
The honest truth is that no one should pay for news anymore, since it's pretty obvious that journalism simply doesn't matter anymore.

Journalism as we know it (knew it) has long since been blown out of the water by 100 different debacles since the 1970's. In fact, journalism never mattered, but it almost seemed to matter in the wake of WWII, because "the good guys" won. Sort of.

( ...or, perhaps more importantly, the really really bad guys lost, and had things been different the aftermath could have gone spectacularly much more terrible)

But we know journalism is long since dead, because we watched a war get launched in Iraq, while Fox News lapped it up, and everyone else stood by and did nothing. So whatever "The News" really is, it's not worth a single penny. It produces no results.

Don't buy it. Don't pay for it. Don't trust it. There is no "fake news" to worry about because even the real news is beyond meaningless and without value.
RAM is free, too, at least as far as library code size is concerned.

This is what Touch Bar should have been from the beginning IMO. I've been on the fence to upgrade my 2012 MBP. I've been concerned about buying into the Touch Bar hardware when it seems like it is not coming to any other Macs.

Why should I devote time to learning Touch Bar and trying to find ways to integrate it with my workflow when keyboard shortcuts are more than enough—and probably better? What happens when I sit down at my iMac where I spend >50% of my time?

Pock. has the answer. Turn the Touch Bar into the Mac Dock. Full screen everything and still have quick visuals on app notifications. Don't have to command-tabtabtabtab to get to a different open app—just tap it on the dock in Touch Bar. It's the perfect solution to an actual problem—give me more space on a small screen without sacrificing any of the experience.

I’m not talking about their supposed $16b value. I’m wondering where the money they’re actually spending is going.

They’ve lost nearly $150 million in a year. How? What does that money even go to? Even paying their devs incredibly generous wages and benefits, server costs, advertising, deals with businesses, etc, I can’t imagine the losses being that big. It’s insane amounts of money to burn through.
You can easily build analog circuits. It’s actually how most early computers where designed.

Further, the ability to withstand minor effects like the pressure changes from each heartbeat or the shock from individual steps represent a robust system. Worse the brain needs redundancy to deal with things like cell deaths.

We can argue that simulating you needs quantum level precision, but we can’t tell if someone is replaced with a fairly close copy because that’s literally happening all the time.

> Some pilots were able to successfully do a 180 in a commercial sim and land the plane at the airport.

comparisons like this seem entirely wrong.

Just because "some" pilots were able to do a 180 back to LGA doesn't mean that it was the best option at the time given all variables.

There's so many variables you can't account for in a simulator.

At this point I can't imagine there's any ATPL-certified pilot who isn't familiar with US1549. Some pilots have some small knowledge. Some pilots have extensively studied that flight. Most are somewhere in-between. All are going to be prone to choose more risky scenarios because there is no actual jeopardy to their life in the flight simulator.

In addition to all that, we've had over a decade to study and dissect US1549. Sully had seconds, perhaps a minute, to decide on a course of action.

> For those unfamiliar, Sully never flew again after the ditching because of "sleep disturbances." His co-pilot did continue flying airlines.

That's surprising, and very sad, considering how well things turned out.
And how many of the free users are the same people? I am active on 7 or 8 slacks (all free) with at least 5 or 6 different emails. Sure they can easily link my from my device, but do they when they can inflate numbers?
