Many embedded applications are also not particularly form-factor constrained. A good security camera lens is often easily bigger than a couple of 2.5" hard-drives and a medium sized single-board computation.
Heck, just wiring boxes for an industrial sensor system, are can often bigger than 10s of 3.5" disks.
We got 100,000 users of the open source distribution before we introduced a paid one.

In the first year that Dmitriy made the open source distribution (and I didn't even know it existed) 200 people contributed to GitLab and probably 10,000+ people used it.

A2 needs support in the Linux kernel. It's not there, yet.

https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/Knowledge/blob/master/articl...

"A2 promises even better performance with 4000/2000 read/write IOPS minimum but there's a problem since as outlined by the SD Association A2 cards show "much higher performance than A1 performance by using functions of Command Queuing and Cache".

Cache and Command Queuing require host (driver) support since the host needs to activate those new features first. The cache feature on A2 rated cards makes use of volatile RAM on the card requiring the host to learn new commands to issue flushing the cache (involving the risk of data losses -- for details see especially chapter 4.17 in Physical Layer Simplified Specification 6.0)"
Frankly, this comment is simply rude and ineffectual. It completely unnecessarily disrespects the good people in the OpenAI team. No one doesn't qualify as "real people".

That only works against a semi-principled oppressor. Won't work in China; won't work in the current USA. The British were already weary of the overwhelming India-ness of India, and so when confronted with the reality that India was going to do India no matter who was nominally in charge, they decided to just let India do India all over itself, and not be responsible for it any more.

China (PRC), on the other hand, loves nothing more than to do China everywhere China is, or was, or will be. They can't stand it when somewhere that should be China isn't doing China hard enough. So when Hong Kong goes around saying "a little less China, please; we'd like to still be a little Hong Kong" then China retorts "how dare you not be all-the-way China!" They will gleefully beat more China into Hong Kong if given a flimsy, contrived excuse to do so. It's the same as it was in Tibet, except Tibet did not have the leverage of being so important to international trade. China very much wants to erase the historic embarrassment it suffered from the UK in the Opium Wars, and as long as Hong Kong doesn't want to be more Chinese, the wound stays open. Macau isn't facing the same mainland attitudes, probably because it wasn't taken by force.

But on the other hand, violent resistance definitely won't work, either. China won't kill everyone, but they will kill, imprison, or hospitalize enough people that the others learn what kinds of things can get you vanished, erased, or exampled.

The only winning strategy against China in Hong Kong/Macau is to get out, and with one's money, if possible. Expand businesses into Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and/or Australia, de-emphasize the Hong Kong facilities, and move people and households elsewhere. And that works fine for China, too. It makes Hong Kong more PRC-Chinese at the same time it is making other places more ethnically-Chinese, and they get to keep all the capital that was left behind.

Anecdotally, everyone I know from Hong Kong already moved to Vancouver.

If you consider PPP conversion ratio 1$ spent in in India is equivalent to about 17$ spent in the US. So 141M$ in India today is equivalent to 2.5B$ in the US. This also gives a better estimate of what else could be bought for the money on this kind of project

As someone who did the opposite (and as writers go, I was “successful” — I reached the six figure mark and everything), I’m not going to say “don’t do this” — because that’s unfairly glib, but I would say to consider your options.

I’ve found that my skills as a writer and editor (and being good at communications in general), are valued much more in my current job (I work in DevRel and intersect engineering and product) than I ever expected.

Rather than leaving tech to turn to writing, perhaps you could find opportunities in your current job to write. Even something as seemingly benign as documentation is something! (And in truth, we need more good writers and editors working on documentation. It’s not sexy but it impacts so many people and often the difference between good and bad documentation is the ability of the writer/editor.)

I’m also a big fan of scratching my creative itch with side-projects and then seeing if that passion leads you to wanting to do something full time. That’s what led me to professional writing to begin with.
Will you have a server too? Another issue is scheduling, triggers, etc.. You are in this strange space between Excel and “enterprise” ETL like Talend. We are so frustrated with the current poor state of data prep that we went to Python based workflows with the idea of scheduling, triggering, via Airflow. Seems to work well so far. But your IDE for data prep is a bit better positioned than what we use now (Jupyter).
> From what I've heard, a lot of people have left NASA as a result of the month-long government shutdown this year.

I've got two friends there, a civil servant and a contractor, and I've heard no such thing. That doesn't mean it isn't true, but I'm curious whether there's any data to back this up. You'd have to be careful looking at that data, too: a lot of people are retiring from NASA simply because they're old.

Nothing that's happened to NASA lately is a new phenomenon.

I don't think it's accurate to say there are any partisan components to the NASA mission. I guess the exception is the Republican party is trying to cut Earth observation satellites because the data coming back is politically inconvenient. However that's a pretty small part of NASA's budget.
Deliberately exclusionary policies? I've been around a long time. I've never known of a policy, at any place I worked, that discriminated based on race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Disclaimers: I've never been the hiring manager, so I've never read the actual policies. And there may have been discrimination that was not encoded in policies. But I have never, to my knowledge, been anywhere that had a deliberately exclusionary policy.
Sigh. There's no _unauthorized access_ of a router here; neither the wireless network nor the router login were cracked.

For 10 years I had Hydrocodone as a treatment for pain. Truth be told it also helped with my energy levels. I was functioning well. At 60 diagnosed with RA and a number of other immune disorders. That was at the time of Feds starting to crack down. I could probably find doctors to prescribe the pills , but after a pain chest & back sent me to ER , a GI scope showed changes to the ducts that run to the pancreas.
The Anesthetist said pain pills do that ( said with no judgement & said if you need them then take them ) . But I thought , i’d try to get off them. My doctor weaned me down. But my quality day to day is gone. No energy , pain without relief . Illinois medical cannabis is not my answer , been trying. Some strains actually increase body awareness therefore increasing pain. So I’ll probably have to change doctors if mine won’t put me back on them.

> programming is a medium through which incomplete understanding can be refined, and eventually expressed.

Which, by all forms of understanding I possess, is a benefit or beneficial to the users of programming. Ergo, a good medium.

If the title were "Programming as a potential medium for expressing/refining not yet well-formed ideas", then there'd be no value judgment at all (and we probably wouldn't be having this conversation). But as it is, the title uses "poorly understood, sloppily-formulated ideas" which automatically puts a negative spin, which is in a way counter-acted in the original paper by "good medium", implying that the paper isn't actually about bad ideas and how they're propagated through code.
I have a family friend who lives in a part of the US where the only options are dial-up and satellite. He thus uses dial-up.

Without fail, the sites that rely heavily on JS to do page loading end up performing significantly worse (and in fact outright bugging out, and often failing to load entirely) than sites which just send ordinary HTML docs. A disturbingly-high number of the JS-heavy "web apps" out there seem to have little regard for actually handling failures on a sketchy connection.

Your point would make more sense in the context of an Electron app or something with a permanently-locally-cached copy of the site. That would at least give my elderly friend the means to predownload it when he piggybacks off the public wifi when he goes into town.
Or maybe that's their writing style and the story they're writing?

I'm not usually dismissive, but honestly, people are free to write the article as they wish to, and we're free to read it or not. It always annoys me when people complain about recipe sites for example "I don't want to know what clothes you were wearing when you cooked it, just give me the measurements".

> waste my time as an outlet for their creative writing impulses

What gives us the right to demand something from a writer that isn't what they were writing?

It might be cynical SEO stuff, or it might just be how they like to write - but there are a lot of commenters here that won't be happy until everything is just AI-produced bullet-points.
I think that's true of a lot of creative professions to be fair. Musicians don't have much of a market unless they're exceptional, same for artists. But there are ways to adapt your skills to be more valuable than they would be otherwise.

That said, programming is, in my opinion very creative as well, and that clearly does have a market.
woah, that is steep. who is this competitor?
Feynman's quote comes to mind:

"Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy.”[0]

I wonder if we'll ever be able to truly simulate protein folding using the techniques available to us now, or whether there are aspects of that process that are just so inherently quantum mechanical that we need qubits instead of bits to get to where we need to be.

Beam – 2019 Week #29 – Hard Fork
It isn’t only about founders either. How many immigrants have worked or invested on these companies to become what they are today and that’s one of the biggest advantages that drives US tech faster than any other country. Those skilled workers are often educated and grown up outside the US, which means government didn’t spend any subsidies to have them ready to work. That’s why H1B is a gold mine.

> I've never had to do anything special to use an SD card on Android.

It appears newer versions of Android do not provide a way for apps to access _external_ storage using ordinary POSIX APIs. SD cards can be used to back and provide "internal storage" on Android, and I don't think that is a problem (yet).
well the real value is the six free annual credit reports, sadly the majority of people I work with probably never have looked at theirs.

has anyone ever had any value come from identity monitoring services? one card issuer I have emails me for every charge above a threshold, which I have set to zero. I keep my credit frozen so theoretically it should not be possible to open a new account. My concern with a monitoring service is that it is yet another person who can leak
Emacs has been a daily driver for me since the 1980s. That said, in modern times I also use alternatives. For about ten years I also relied on the Jetbrains IDEs. I have swapped out IntelliJ, PyCharm, and RubyMine for VSCode plus relevant extensions.

I now use Emacs and Slime for all Common Lisp development, for a lot of Haskell work, and whenever I am working remotely via SSH on a leased server or VPS.

Anyway, Emacs is fantastic but I don’t feel like I need to be all-in with one choice of editing framework.

You just mentioned US allies, by the same logic the US should place sanctions on its own states and government due to their severe human rights abuses.

Sanctions are placed on enemies not allies
You seem to be approaching this from the wrong direction.

If you're really suffering from age discrimination, instead of thinking of women and minorities as the reason you're not being hired (do you really think that's the case when there are so few in tech comparatively?!), you should be thinking of them as people who are plausibly in same situation as you: suffering from a form of discrimination.

So:

(A) you should be feeling solidarity with people who have hard time getting hired, not getting upset companies are trying to be more fair in their hiring practices by encouraging broader range of people to apply.

(B) when you encounter companies that encourage women/minorities/etc. to apply, those are probably companies that are trying to hire people on merit, rather than preconceived notions. So those are exactly the places you _want_ to apply!
We Open Sourced Grover
This excerpt is a relief because it feels like I got permission to stop trying to use org-mode for to-do lists:

"# I gave up on using Org-mode for schedules and to-do lists

I spent some words in the original post on using Org-mode for schedules. I gave up on using Org-mode for to dos and the like, as I have to coordinate many meetings and calls every day with dozens of people, and I cannot ask the rest of the world to adapt to my choice of tools, nor do I have the time to transcribe or automate moving things to Org. We are primarily a Mac shop, use Google Calendar etc., and the native Mac OS/iOS tools do a good job for collaboration. I also use a plain old pen for note-taking during meetings, as I find laptop/keyboard use in meetings to be rude and limiting to my ability to listen and think. Therefore I've largely abandoned the idea that Emacs/org can help me with my schedule or organizing my life. Org-mode is great for lots of other things too though, and is my go-to for writing documents, including this one. In other words, I use it largely in ways the author didn't intend, and it's great at them. I hope someone says the same of our work at Fugue someday."

You have a very optimistic view on the thing.

Where you see a "vibrant community" I see an inexistent work-life balance and gaited communities. It would be a real life echo chamber, SV is already enough of a bubble as it is I doubt they'd need a FacebookVille or a GoogleVille.
JFK didn't have any particular love for the scientific discovery of a moon mission. It was the same kind of thing that you're describing today: demonstrate American "greatness" in a world that seemed increasingly hostile - just substitute Islamicists/Terrorism for USSR/Cold War.

I think that tells us two things:

1) We can still accomplish great things even from lowly motivations, and

2) We shouldn't necessarily take those lowly motivations as proof of a craven administration.

That's fine, you're still a valid part of the immigration discussion. For example as an American when I go to Canada I get more hassle than when I'm in Europe. If anything I'd assume it would be easier to go between Canada and the U.S. which are a lot more culturally similar than say Germany and France.

It's an interesting dream team. But AFAICT this is only a proposal. Did the proposed series of studies take place? If so what was the outcome?
That's a good point. Actually we think of this tool as a collaboration tool which enables non technical users and data engineers to share this visual DAG and work together. The Apache Beam runners we use behind the scene have a Query planner to optimize chained queries . However you're totally right . This can't help a non technical users to write messy queries. The visual DAG should however helps them to split a complex query into simpler ones.
This language seems to be really gaining popularity. I believe this is the third or fourth time I've seen a cancer treatment referred to as a Trojan Horse. I have some stock in such a company, they're about to start Phase 2 clinical trials. It's a great time for cancer treatments in that I don't think there's ever been as much positivity as now about our chances to effectively treat various types of cancers. There's been lots of great progress. As someone who's father had to go through multiple cancer surgeries, I hope the day comes when we can consider cancer not much a bigger deal than the flu. Probably still a pipe dream, but it's a nice dream.
I have a huge amount of sympathy for these people. Clearly something is going wrong and they shouldn't be the ones dealing with it. That said...

If it works for other cities, the problem clearly isn't the rate of pay. The problem is probably local politics of housing. Demands like that are not completely reasonable.

How could it possibly not be achievable? We know for certain general intelligence is physically realizable - we exist.

Until recently they seemed to be deprioritizing features I cared about in favor of e.g. Paper, which seems designed for some other type of user. So, when my company was choosing a provider I didn't really have any compelling arguments I could make in favor of Dropbox. Maybe this signals that the tide has turned again.
Yea, same. I keep trying to figure it out but it just doesn't seem to have any advantages over checking my backlog for my todos.

Maybe because I gave up trying to configure emacs on my own and ended up with spacemacs + evil mode, thus overcomplicating org mode (and overriding some of the keybindings people use in tutorials) beyond use?
