I'm not OP, but I much prefer the window management in 10 to 7. You can tile windows by keyboard (you could do this in 7, but it's improved in 10), and resize tiled windows together to keep their relationship to each other. There are virtual desktops without third-party utilities now.

The console is better than it was, but still not good enough to be called adequate.

I wouldn't use it at home, but I'm happier with it at work than with 7.
More specifically, it's called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Impostor syndrome is a broader description that heavily overlaps with the "give up competing due to perceived losses" that the article talks about.

(As a side effect of this, one could predict that approaches to mitigation of impostor syndrome (which there are a few of) will be especially helpful if you're concerned about improving women's representation. Somewhat ironically though, the "ideological echo chamber" that is most active in pursuing these goals is not always very open to such notions!)
Someone wanted to short some AMD.
Emacs + evil-mode of course, the best of two worlds.
Sure, but the only way to build resistance to it is to expect more detail in the scan and they can't do that without making the system less convenient for people who grow a beard, wear sunglasses, etc. It can't go pore by pore on the person's face anyway, the infrared scanning process where it projects dots onto the face just isn't that advanced. It might be resistant, but it's hardly a challenge to someone with government levels of resources.
> The equivalent at work is requiring ass-in-the-seat / face-time policies
> people can still contribute zero (except their presence)

I'm confused - it seems to me that you understand that ass-in-the-seat / face-time policies only address the presence problem but cannot address contribution.

1. Do you agree with this?
2. What's your solution to fixing the contribution problem?
Glad I didn't click. This is exactly the kind of crap that makes web surfing on Raspberry Pi go south.
Right, so why are we so worried about this? If the government is malevolent they will just kidnap and torture you like the PRC.
Any independent verification here or runs of different test suites?

There are many ways to put your finger on the scale for this kind of test (say, inadequate cooling on the intel part)

Or could it be PCI-E 4.0 significantly increasing the performance?
No, they can't. At least not in a type-safe way.
The old adage: "TV will rot your brain" seems more true the older I get. Probably needs to be updated to include spending too much time on the internet.
Most of the corn in Illinois goes to feed, stuff that can’t go to feed is turned to ethanol. 2% goes to human consumption directly.

Also soy and corn is far from useless, these are considered two of the worlds staple crops. You’d likely starve to death without farming: wheat, corn, and soy. Even if you don’t eat it directly it what enables food to be affordable.
Clearly, that would help. And clearly, there are opportunities for improvement -- as much as two orders of magnitude (!) in the case of capsule networks.

That said, I think the authors are right about the challenge here: "...current frameworks excel at workloads where it makes sense to manually tune the small set of computations used by a particular model or family of models. Unfortunately, frameworks become poorly suited to research, because there is a performance cliff when experimenting with computations that haven’t previously been identified as important. While a few hours of search may be acceptable before production deployment, it is unrealistic to expect researchers to put up with such compilation times (recall this is just one kernel in what may be a large overall computation); and even if optimized kernels were routinely cached locally, it would be a major barrier to disseminating research if anyone who downloaded a model’s source code had to spend hours or days compiling it for their hardware before being able to experiment with it."

No. Chinese people overthrew many kings and dictators far more oppressive than CCP in its long history. China is stable because CCP delivered economic results, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty. So a stable but oppressive CCP gov has been tolerated so far.

Not only that, but the possibility of committing a crime and getting away with it is the only way we could ever change the laws.

Sometimes things are illegal, and society changes and decides they shouldn't be illegal (interracial marriage, homosexuality, alcohol, marijuana, etc)... if people couldn't 'dabble' in the illegal thing at all, there would be no way for people to learn enough to decide that the laws are wrong and need to be changed.

> You as an individual can check very little

I think it depends on the issue. Things that affect lot of people (like can I criticize government official in public or police brutality against a minority) are easier to check than things that do not (development of nuclear weapons).

Also, democratic systems have sort of "defense in depth". I know that some free media exist, so I can reasonably trust their independence on government. We have freedom of information acts, which requires the government to at least tell the truth. And so on.

So it seems to me, to ask Iranians to rise up if they feel their government is lying about development of nuclear is effectively equivalent of developing a modern democratic society, at the very least.

> the world would raise a ruckus and the average Iranian citizen will be able to hear it and evaluate the validity of these claims

That is still very vague, how are they gonna do it. Based on my indirect experience with communist regime, majority will probably believe foreign media unconditionally (believe me, they will know state media lie constantly, I know many emigrants were surprised that there is unemployment in the West, they thought it was a state propaganda), and a decent minority (about 20-30%) will not believe these claims and support the ruling class.

But - only extremely small minority will consider "international ruckus" a large enough problem so they would risk a life for it. Especially from a community which decided to throw sanctions on the nation.

> intention of the current American administration is to do a new deal with the regime

Well, that's how this problem needs to be resolved - in a diplomatic way. That's the standard way to do it - mutual inspections to see if there are nuclear weapons, or mutual disarmament. You don't need to involve the citizens, especially since they cannot meaningfully keep tabs on their own government.
James Lovelock (formulator of the Gaia hypothesis) suggested sprinkling radioactive waste through out wilderness areas. This would, in a way, also help preserve these areas because humans would be wary of entering them or building in them.

I Was Wrong About Elizabeth Warren
What, precisely, is wrong? It is simply a fact that American brands are omnipresent in China. It's a very striking thing if you go to any big Chinese city - how many Western restaurants, hotels, clothing brands, automobile brands and technology brands are everywhere.

The idea that China doesn't protect IP is a cliché one hears in the West, but it's not accurate. Developing countries generally have much weaker IP enforcement than developed countries. But as far as developing countries go, my understanding is that China actually has pretty strong IP enforcement now. There have been massive changes to the Chinese legal and regulatory system as part of its entry into the WTO, but a country that had a GDP/capita of just hundreds of dollars a generation ago is not going to become Western Europe overnight.
That article is just saying it's cheaper to move heat than to generate it from electrical resistance. You can buy heat pumps that work both directions, allowing you to heat in the winter and cool in the summer.

My main complaint about AC and the reason we rarely use ours is that while you can heat a house very quickly, air conditioners are really only good for maintaining temperature. They have a hell of a time cooling adequately when "properly sized". So if I want to use the AC, then I have to give up on having open windows ever, which is not something I'm interested in.
There's one problem with traditional exception model. Basically there's hidden untyped program flow behind the scenes. So it's like running wild JavaScript behind your strongly typed program, because you can never be sure what exceptions could be thrown from that function.
Java tried to tackle this problem, introducing at least optional typing with its checked exceptions but failed miserably.
That said, I don't think that exceptions are bad idea, they just have to be improved. Error handling via explicitly returning error is a step back.
Well, air-conditioning is the one electric consumption which can be perfectly driven by solar energy. Solar production capacity is expanded constantly and in Germany we are already at the level where during sunny days, solar can drive like 40% of the grid.

You did say contemporary which is certainly after when my house was designed, but even my 1930s-era house in Houston, TX was designed for the heat. In fact at least contemporary residential has gone the way of highly insulated homes meant to keep heat and moisture out and breathe as little as possible. Which works 99% of the time until a hurricane takes out power and air conditioning with it. Then they are sweaty, hellish boxes.

Houston didn't really take off until the invention of air conditioning but even when my house was built people engineered around it. When first purchased my house had a number of shade trees because blocking sunlight is extremely effective. Every room with the exception of one bathroom has multiple screen windows to facilitate natural airflow through the house. That one bathroom still has two doors and a window to help with air movement.

In addition there is a whole house fan that draws air from throughout the house to the attic. This helps both exchange air when people want air movement which is cooling and also helps move heat out of the attic which is coming from a blazing hot roof. The attic itself is nearly the same height as the floor below it and each end of the attic has huge slatted exhaust ports. They are easily four feet wide and seven or eight feet tall. They are needed because the whole house fan can draw hard enough to break a window, or so I've been told.

Although the house was designed to breathe and move air because it was all they could do to combat the heat these days I shut all the windows and run the air conditioner. I may be a fan of the architecture but I'm not a fan of the lifestyle. My friends in sealed houses have much lower energy bills, but if my power fails I can at least open the windows.

I think a big part of the "all kids do is play inside" thing people like to complain about has to do with everyone having their AC on all the time. If its hot inside and hot outside, you go play outside. If its hot outside and cool inside, you sit on your ass and look at a screen.
Electric Scooter Laws Are Defective, a Lawyer Says
We acquired language so that we could express ourselves better than we could pointing and grunting. Learning a new word was always tricky- we could sometimes model it with existing words we already knew, but sometimes we would only learn it by practicing its use in different ways to see what works. When we might meet another person with another language, we may resort (at some point) to pointing and grunting again, but knowing language we feel the pains trying to convey anything beyond the most basic wants and wishes when resorting to such a crude tool.

So it is with text-based interfaces like unix. I learned unix over thirty years ago, and thirty years of practice with a language gives me a great deal of comfort learning the occasional new word in unix. Conversely, every time I point and grunt, I don't feel like it's an even remotely "acceptable level of productivity".

I do however think these TUI things are abominations combining the worst of both worlds.
I'm not going to count eval(...) as exception handling as a language feature in Perl 5. :)

You should. It's a perfectly valid exception handling mechanism. It's unfortunate that the name "eval" is overloaded for two separate behaviors:

* catch exceptions thrown as strings or objects

* compile and execute code from a string

Other than the name, they're different behaviors.
But the "unless"'s apply to everyone else 10x more, they just don't make for as good of a headline since "it's hard" has already been talked to death.

>The actual problem with the 2013 Mac Pro was operational. They decided to build it in the US. They made a big, high-tech factory with a large degree of automation. That's a great way to build a high volume product. It's a terrible way to build a $3000 niche computer.

Which is why I think the recent Apple has Tim Cook's operational focus all over it. They couldn't close it down but they had to sell it as long as they could trying to amortised the cost. Same with MacBook Pro Keyboard, they were stubborn and cost focus to try and itch out another generation. Just because of the cost involved.

You could see Steve Jobs doing it differently, bring an MBP home to use it, ( As he used to call himself low cost Beta Tester ) saw the problem himself, demand it be fixed within 4 weeks, or get a new team to design a new Keyboard.

I think he cares about product quality way more than numbers on balance sheet. He might publicly dismiss it, ( very likely ), but quietly he would have the team working on a new keyboard and ship it, only to sliently provide extended warranty to MBP at a later date.
> If colleges charged $10,000,000 and offered no aid, then getting in would mean absolutely nothing, except that your parents were rich.

Isn't that the point? You can acquire the knowledge for free, but not the network, and not the "I'm like you" stamp that will open doors. Germans call it Stallgeruch, literally stable smell. People take a whiff to see whether you smell as if you are from the same stable they are from. If you are like them, the probability is high that you will share their worldview, ambitions, general moral concepts and so on, so being from the same social class, having been educated at the same type of school etc is just a shortcut for similarity.

Chicago is typically 5-10F degrees cooler than the surrounding area due to the lake effect. Where I live now (central Illinois, 90mi outside Chicago) we hit 105F at least a few times a summer. Usually, with 100% humidity - making it feel like 120F or so.

In either case, I’m not belittling the current heat wave in France. Just saying those temperatures are within “normal” for the Midwest. Which was the grandfathers comment. I agree with the few degree difference being a lot, especially if sustained.
But made to flee their homes as refugees in middle though.
Like others said, pretty rare.

However I feel that this year people are buying the Portable AC units a lot more (there’s no stock left for moderately priced portable units on Amazon at the moment). I’ve lived in Delhi most of my life so I can survive 33 degrees in Paris, but our cat doesn’t seem to enjoy it.
Yes! It's okay if you don't know which idea you want to pursue. Our first lecture actually goes over how to evaluate ideas for potential and helping you weigh and decide which to pursue.
I am also okay with checking each error. I think errors.Wrap makes for very readable log messages, and still lets you handle different errors differently.

The complaint about go programmers silently ignoring errors seems off to me. If you have a function declared like "func foo() (int, error)" and then try to silently ignore the error like "x := foo()", the program won't compile. You have to go in and say "x, _ := foo()" which does look pretty weird. If you do that, you've ignored the error. It's no different than "try { foo() } catch(Exception e) { }" which I guarantee you plenty of programmers do. The resulting faults are their problem; someone tried to help them but they shot themselves in the foot.

The real problem is the special case of functions where you want to ignore the value. You can then ignore the error freely. (A good example is fmt.Printf. It returns (n, err). Do you ever look at either? Did you even know that it returns something?)

If anything, that's the issue I'd want to fix. Calling fmt.Printf in a "void context" should say "assignment mismatch: 0 variables but Printf returns 2 values". Then the compiler completely prevents you from ignoring errors (and useful results) without making a conscious effort to do so.

As for errors themselves, generally I quite like the detail produced by a chain of errors.Wrap. It is more concise and customizable than a full stack trace, but still lets you track down problems. The annoying part is that you can't translate these errors into a less-detailed error for external consumers easily. For example, you might have a chain like "get foo: authenticate: lookup session in database: context deadline exceeded". You want your gRPC service to then return codes.DeadlineExceeded so the client can retry. But you don't REALLY have a good way to convey that programmatically, resulting in ugly code like `if strings.HasSuffix(err.Error(), "deadline exceeded") { return nil, status.Error(codes.DeadlineExceeded, ...) }` which I think is probably prone to error and annoying to write.

Checking for errors, though... it doesn't annoy me at all. In 46k lines of code I've written in the last year, "err != nil" is on 1500 of them (500 in tests), and I am super super paranoid about every possible error. It just isn't that big of a deal. "if ...; err != nil" is something you'll probably type if you write go. I don't think it's a plus or a negative. It gets the job done, it's easy to understand, and it empowers the programmer to do the right thing when the program fails. The rest is up to you.

Yes. Typically you lift the lever on the side of the socket, drop the CPU in, and then lower the lever. The lever causes the holes in the socket to tighten, clamping down on the pins in the chip, holding it in place. ZIF sockets have been a part of PC builds and a feature of motherboards since at least the early-mid 90s.
