Worth mentioning that the vfx/animation industry is using PyQt and PySide for quite some time now [1].

Major third-party applications and libraries like Autodesk Maya, Pixar's Usd etc. make use of it.

My point being, it is not brand new technology just because it is now maintained by the Qt company. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this industry is part of the reason why it gained official support.

The use in VFX also spawned a shim library called Qt.py that abstracts PySide, Pyside2, PyQt4 and PyQt5 away [2] - with certain limitations. Highly recommended in the transition phase from Qt4 to Qt5, or when you can't control the underlying Qt-Python library.

ARGUS-IS, which is the successor to GORGON STARE, adds DVR capabilities. So your feed catches a VBIED detonation and analysts can zoom in and rewind the footage and find the safe house from which the VBIED departed.

I briefly had a Nokia Lumia 920 running Windows 8 Mobile, and I loved it... except for the apps. I otherwise really liked the device, the UI, the overall user experience. It was a nice alternative to the multiple iPhones I'd owned up to that point.

I've now been an Android user (Nexus 5, Moto X Pure, Nokia 6.1 Plus) for a few years. I've never been quite satisfied with the platform and the various quirks of the phones I've owned. Everytime the iPhone SE's make their way back to Apple's refurb site I almost purchase one for myself and my wife. I wish Windows Mobile had managed to generate enough interest and gravity to sustain as a viable alternative.

32-bit macOS uses the older fragile ObjC runtime. Meaning no macOS frameworks present on 32-bit macOS could adopt newer features. In fact they couldn’t even add new ivars because that changes the class layout and would be ABI-breaking.

No, it's a valid observation. The new "Super Wal-Mart" is huge and has a ton of stuff I don't buy very often.

We still have the original store in town, and many folks here prefer it. My wife and most her friends are among them, and I've given the reasons why here but change the products to what I buy. One of their most common complaints is they have to walk all the way to the back of the store to get a gallon of milk.

That is one of the reasons those small "Dollar Stores" are being built everywhere around us. We have one now that's just a couple miles away and that's meant a lot less trips to town to the Wal-Marts for all of us. They also have real live cashiers working there.

32 bit code is stuck with the older ObjC runtime, which can’t support a bunch of new language features and suffers from from fragile ABI issues which make changing the internals of classes extremely problematic.

It’s not simple to fix (“just upgrade the runtime to support the new features”) because the newer runtime trades on the fact that a bunch of unused space in 64 bit pointers can be exploited for tagging, pointerless classes and a bunch of other things. And if they did fix the fragile ivar problem on the 32bit runtime, you’d need to recompile to use the new way of dynamically calculating strict offsets to member fields — and these apps are mostly dying with 32bit precisely because no one is recompiling them.

It’s basically dead-end code that is difficult to maintain and which increasingly requires the rest of the OS to stagnate just to keep it running.

How so? If you know anything about running, you know that it would be quite simple for the guy to go out and run another race to confirm the level of his fitness. He might be a few minutes off, but it's quite easy for a marathoner to go out an run another (observed) race five or ten minutes slower than a recent PR. Five or ten minutes slower would be fine, would confirm his level of fitness is close to what he claims. Very suspicious that this has not happened.

The truth is probably that his actual fitness is half-an-hour or an hour or more slower, and that he's a cheat. Yes, this assertion could be wrong. But given that it would be so easy for the guy to disprove it (and confirm his previous race) it's very suspicious that he hasn't done it.
> note that a 2 engineer startup could do better

2 engineers produce 2 engineers worth of code/infrastructure. Equifax has much more than that to manage. And at corporate scale just knowing what you're running is a significant challenge, which is a step before version management.

I'm not trying to justify bad assets management, but if anyone's comparing their situation to a 2 engineer startup, they don't understand corporate it environments or issues or that scale/budget.
> From a companies POV, its probably as legally onerous as operating in a different country altogether - not worth it

It's much worse than that. Google didn't research the sweepstakes laws in, say, Paraguay or the Gambia before making this announcement. They figure that, in the worst case, their legal department will tell them not to award the prize if the winner comes from a country where they can't legally award it, and they'll scramble the necessary PR people if that comes to pass.

For Quebec, on the other hand, they'll be forbidden from carrying on business in all of Canada if they advertise this competition as one that can be won in Quebec. A terrible chilling effect - and I say this as someone who universally favours the freedom and self-determination of small nations such as Quebec.

The more I learn about Richter, the more I admire and love him. Admittedly, there are some early recordings that are difficult for me to listen to as he is butchering the piece, but at his finer moments there is no better pianist. Take his interpretation of Schubert's Piano Sonata in B flat D.960. It's pure magic. He's become my favorite pianist next to Gould.
Did you read the article? There is some supporting evidence for the conclusion..

> Meza should have crossed in front of an official video camera (..) Meza “did not appear in the video. The only reasonable explanation is that he did not run this section of the course.”

> wherever Meza shows up in photos or video, “his pace is significantly slower than his official splits.”

> photographs that showed Meza emerging from the sidewalk to rejoin the pack along Hollywood Boulevard (..) Meza reiterates he did not cheat, saying he needed to use a restroom

Sure there could be explanations for all of these.. but on top of it all he ducks out of a race where he was to be monitored, in favor of an alternative race? He could have cleared his name right then and there, but he didn't, so naturally this furthers suspicion.
Ed Sheeran Is on Track for the No. 1 Concert Tour of All Time. Here’s How
"I took up running for fun. What I can tell you is that I did not cut. My last few marathons I have had to step off the course, looking for a place to pee. I didn’t know this was against the rules, I was not aware of that. I’ve done this several times. I’ve realized my problem is that I don’t hydrate properly. I have never cut the distance but I have stepped off of the course."

Just analyzing the man's statements for basic "tells" of non-candor and non-forthrightness, like they do in law enforcement:

1) "What I can tell you is..." - That's a distancing, qualifying phrase - we might call it an abstraction layer. It's like there's an AnswerTheQuestion() method that instead of just returning an answer, has to first call the GetAThingToTellThem() method. Hmm interesting. Great separation of concerns if you're a computer program, but totally unnecessary if you're being concise and direct.

2) "What I can tell you is that I did not cut." - It's a non-denial denial. He doesn't actually say he didn't cut. He says he can tell you that he didn't cut. (OK go ahead and tell me then, whenever you're ready.) He can also tell me that he's a purple elephant that farts rainbows.

3) "...I did not cut" - Resorting to a formality by eschewing the contraction - using "did not" vs. "didn't." And I wouldn't make the usual allowance for Latin heritage, because he's a doctor and has been in the US for a long time, plus he uses contractions freely elsewhere (didn't, I've).

4) After starting two sentences with "I've", notice in the last sentence (the second it comes time for another direct denial), it goes back to formal language: "I have."

5) "I didn't know this was against the rules..." Getting defensive, trying to portray himself as a victim being persecuted unjustly (totally outside the normal purview of the usual rules which he thought he knew) and therefore deserving of sympathy. Also subtly attacking the interviewer for asking the question. Aggression is a big tell.

6) Overall does it seem to be just impartially reporting/presenting information or does it seem to be making a case or argument by "dressing up" the facts to favor himself? Notice the overall wordiness of the thing and the volunteering of superfluous information. I do this for fun. I don't hydrate properly (WTF does that mean, you tryin to say you drank too much water dawg?)

None of these on their own would be inherently suspicious, and might have other explanations, but occurring all together like this, they're a billboard telling you "Take a closer look."

Edit: Reply comments are starting to object along the lines that this doesn't prove anything. That is correct. The goal isn't to prove guilt; only evidence proves guilt. The goal is only to direct the course of the investigation. You're only looking for "warmer or colder." Keep going this direction or look somewhere else? That's why I conclude with "Take a closer look" and not "Please convict this person of a crime immediately." It's akin to a polygraph reading - fairly unscientific, generally inadmissible, but valuable in deciding what to do next in the investigation.

> The median person doesn't graduate college in either country

That sounds intentionally oversimplified. Sure, the median is often better than the arithmetic mean to summarize a population, but in this case, you're misapplying the median to falsely imply that graduation rate is irrelevant as long as it's less than 50% of the population. The reality is that tuition is a barrier to enrollment and completion, so eliminating it with public funding makes sense if you care about investing in your country's future. Besides, even if you yourself would never attend college and would never dream of encouraging anyone in your family to go, you still indirectly benefit when your studious compatriots have ample opportunity to study, graduate, and find work in the country.

> 4. Transit is better in France. But average commutes are 50% longer than in the U.S.

Did you misread the source you linked to? It shows a bar plot of "average" (probably mean) commute times. France's average commute looks like maybe 3-5% longer than the USA, and this difference disappears when you blur your eyes and compare men and women.

For a more meaningful glimpse into the reality of these countries' commutes, check out this worldwide ranking of the 10 best and 10 worst cities by commute experience [1]. France takes 4 out of the 10 best spots (Nice, Toulouse, Lyon, Strasbourg). Only one US city landed in the worst 10 (Miami), but the reality is that on average, commuting in the US sucks compared to France. I'd rather read on a train than die a little inside a car.

You're right: transit is better in France.

I disagree. His paper comes off more as whataboutism, or a call toward paying more attention to underlying issues of poor ethical/moral fabric underlying society today; particularly and most obviously illustrated in the tech industry today.

Yes. Our ability to effect the world is amplified greatly from what it has ever been before; but before abandoning essential liberty, perhaps we should take a moment to collect ourselves, sit down, and realize that if we're willing to give up everything, then civilization is already lost; therefore, the proper direction is not further breakdown or restriction of liberties, but a revival of the collective cilized spirit that hitherto has graced our ancestors in bringing us to this point.

Technology and our bewitchment by it, and the power conferred through it's use are things tempered by prudence and an active sense of obligation to those around us, and those we'll be leaving behind to carry on after us.

I'm incredibly alarmed at the willingness to embrace the sacrifice of essential liberty nowadays... It's mind boggling.

I put your question in talktotransformer.com and got this response:

I know people have been having trouble adapting these kinds of
generative techniques to text. Do you know of anyone making
interesting progress there?

It is difficult to make progress in the field of generative methods
with text alone - it takes effort and creativity to get a generative
system working. A big part of our research focuses on generating
sequences which correspond to handwritten data, and to improving on
that method we have developed generative techniques which allow us to
generate a large range of novel sequences. Our work is still small,
but we are not stopping there, in fact our next major research project
is to generate novel sequences for novel languages.

What I see is that we are still in an early stage when it comes to
the technology used in generative methods to create new words, but I
suspect this is due to a combination of factors. First and foremost is
the fact that the techniques we've developed to generate novel
sequences are highly specialized in a particular kind of context -
we are not going to create random numbers or sequences because that
just doesn't work. Generating a word, for example, uses very specific
computational principles and can only be done if you are aware of the
context in which it is being generated (or "determined" as the
linguists would say). Even so, the general principle has been around
so long, that one could quite easily create several different methods
to create.
