> Why can't video be like music?

Music is still fighting being “like music”.

> Spotify and Apple Music aggregate pretty much all the music in the world now.

There have been a number of recent media reports about how exclusives, which never were absent from streaming music, are playing a bigger role now.

> You don't have to sign up Warner and Sony and a thousand other labels to play music.

Well, yeah, we haven't gotten to the point of the content owners taking their ball and going home in music yet, we’re in more the Netflix and Blockbuster bidding for exclusives phase when it comes to music. But we know where that ends up.

> Moreover, all the music is licensed through a single IP rights licensing system.

No, it's not, it's just that public performance licensing has a small number of agencies that most artists are affiliated with, and offer blanket licenses, so you don't usually have to deal with individual content owners.

But no one is putting the ki d of money into an album they do into a major motion picture and hoping for that kind of return, so video (at least the top tier) isn't going to look like that.
My office has a large number of what I'd call "gaming borderline" keyboards mostly because people are looking for whatever has decent switches for not high prices. Also why Logitech makes the K840 I think, not that I'm recommending it.
I am trying to assume good faith, but I confess to being incredibly confused by this post. I just skimmed the last two months of Troy’s tweets (which constitutes quite a few — he is prolific) and couldn’t find a _single_ one that matches up with any of your summations. Would you mind showing your work?

This is impressive and their ML algo is only going to keep improving upon itself. Hope this can be implemented beyond China as these type of predictions with accuracy can be very useful indeed.
I remember bringing this up to a colleague at a conference trying to make a developer tool that collected and tracked metrics around what you were typing/commiting etc with the goal of helping the developer visually track their learning.

It wasn't a terrible idea if just developers used it personally, but the moment an employer starts using it, it would end up heading toward major creepsville to the point I'd refuse to work for an employer who mandated it.

It is scary at times; we try to do so many things with data without actually thinking about the consequences of doing so until someone starts doing stuff we're uncomfortable with with it.

I'm careful pointing out this type of thing to people, as I'm really not trying to rain on anyone's parade... But there's a reason Frankenstein's Monster is such an evocative figure. The endeavors we pursue may be our Magnum Opus, but the consequences of just throwing the results out there is worth substantial contemplation before just tossing it out there. You can never take it back.
> one person cutting out ads and reuploading it

Nobody would care enough. Canada (CityTV?) has those oldschool banner ads that appear at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds and disappear; those work for p2p, too.

Maybe the answer for content producers is banner ads and product placement, and posting their own content for free. Crawls would be cut out, full screen commercials would be cut out, but nobody cares about unmoving, temporary things, or the kind of car the character drives.

I'm starting to have a vision of video production as catalog. I wouldn't mind there being a site where I can find out what couch that was in the opening scene, or where the main character got that shirt the spy at the bar complimented her on. Having a site for it might give you some metrics to judge the product placement with.

Would it be so bad for Ikea to have a few sitcoms where everyone moves through rooms filled with Ikea stuff? Isn't that how free-to-air TV used to work?
So by "very large subpopulation who aren't really capable of using birth control effectively", what you meant to say that "people who report using condoms alone for birth control only have an 85% success rate?" Which in turn you are using to prove that "unstable sexual relationships through the peak reproductive years mean you're likely to end up with children"?

I think that you may wish to reinvestigate your original point.
I am exactly at this juncture and struggling to make a decision. I keep interviewing and rejecting reasonable (dull) offers.

Well, if your immigration petition had been denied while on H1B you wouldn't be able to extend it past 6 years and for most H1Bs, whose bodyshops file for GC at the latest date possible, it would mean going home right away or, at best, at the end of their last one year extension. I am not a lawyer and might be overlooking something obvious, but I can't imagine a situation where going through a non-immigrant visa (even such as H1B or any other dual intent) and AOS had been somehow better than straight immigrant visa if you intended to immigrate and have qualifications for a non-sponsored GC.
"I also don't get why everyone is clamoring for one company to control all video entertainment distribution. Isn't that what we hated about cable? Didn't we beg for the ability to pick and choose what we actually want to pay for? Now we finally have that and people instantly want to go back? Why?"

I don't know about anyone else but I'm interested in shows, not channels. I'm not going to sign up to 10 channels - that'd cost too much and some months I'd probably watch nothing on some of them. If I could pick and choose which shows I watched I'd have no problem with a low-friction "sign up via email and pay for what you watch" but that's not the offer. Your suggestion is fine for people who are rich and have loads of time to watch hours of tv every day. That's not the target for these companies though - they recognize it's a zero-sum game and want it to be them you pick over Netflix (or vice versa).
That's what I do, and lately I've been recommending it more often to others when I hear them complain about the lack of a hardware Esc key on MacBook Pros.

> 5. Testing is still hard: 49% of respondents encounter the most delays during the testing stage of the development lifecycle.

> Half of those surveyed called out testing as the biggest source of delay in the development process, reflecting an industry-wide struggle to balance the benefits of manual testing with the need for automation.

Another example of how the purpose of testing is misperceived. You can't estimate how long it takes to test. It's more useful to simply time-box it.

The delays come about for several reasons:

* Testing often uncovers previously unknown problems that have affected the value of the product. The stakeholders choose to accept a delay to remedy the problems found.

* Manual testers often have insufficient fluency with their tools to enable them to rapidly create data, set up and tear down environments, find patterns in data and generate meaningful reports.

* Organisations often emphasise the creation of painstakingly detailed test cases full of duplication.

* Dedicated test automation teams often go down the rabbit hole building low-value, high-cost, high feedback latency test harnesses in which tests are translated verbatim into code from manual test cases, driving tests of business logic through slow, flaky, GUI automation.

There is a great deal of dysfunction in how testing is perceived, managed and performed - both by practitioners and those who must make decisions based on the outcomes of testing.
In the grand scheme of things all of this is a wasteful process. Maybe you could direct your worklife towards other challenges that are more rewarding for society and equally profitable?

Typically OCR accuracy is measured in two ways, CER (Character error rate) and WER (Word error rate). If just one number is provided, it's typically CER.

"Finding words in images" is a bit ambiguous. It can mean "word spotting" (intended for retrieval rather than transcription) but also "text segmentation" (part of preprocessing step before OCR).
That's good for some people, but I have Caps Lock bound to Commmand/Ctrl. The above default key combo works well for me since that way only my right pinky leaves the home row.

Beorg is awesome, I use it daily, but it's really "TODO" oriented, and not that great for editing documents.

I've often wished there was an iOS text editor that understood org format, even just basic markdown style formatting. I'm going to give org-web a go, I think it could be a good compliment to beorg.
Beyond being "just" a markup, it's also a pretty decent TODO manager.
You are willing to "temporarily compromise" democracy. I doubt that it would be temporary; I doubt that it would be merely "compromise"; and I do not join you.

It is indeed true that there are many reason why society continued with both women and men in the work force after the war. One of those were political, as it is difficult to argue first that women and men should shoulder equal responsibility during the war and be included in the military draft and equal right to vote, only to do a 180 degree turn a few months later because the war ended. The writing was on the wall and Women's right to vote got voted in 2 years later. The women military draft however was dropped as the emergency of the war died down.

The president said a month before the war ended: We have made partners of the women in this war; shall we admit them only to a partnership of suffering and sacrifice and toil and not to a partnership of privilege and right?

It is hard to find a stronger sign of a cultural change. 20 years later the second world war started so even if there had been a movement to return to "the old days", it would not have had time. The second world war saw again an major increase in women participation in the work force, including major initiatives for equal pay. Men were being sent to the front line and the factories needed people.

The world wars was the period where the cultural change occurred. Trying to revert the culture back to pre-1914 mindset would had been about as impossible then as it is now. Instead people continued on the cultural path that had been established.
The market will inevitably be forced to bear many slowdowns. Reverting shipping to wind is logical. It could start with the cargos that consist of garbage and e-waste.
I put a Prime minicomputer emulator online that has both PL/I-G and full PL/I. It's configured as a Prime 9950, a successor to the Prime 750. Count me as one of the few who has written production PL/I software for a Prime!

telnet em.prirun.com 8002 for the subset G compiler

telnet em.prirun.com 8005 for the full PL/I compiler

Emacs is also installed on the first machine running rev 20 Primos, but not quite on the second running rev 23 Primos because I didn't have all the pieces.

Enjoy!

That's a ridiculous conclusion. ANY language can be ran bare metal with enough effort.
Yeah, the availability of the data being common rather than rare, so the skill of collecting that data doesn't create a power structure where only the hackers/skilled users have power.

Imagine it being $500/month to access HIBP, because that's the alternative, not some, "everyone agrees to only use this info for good".
First, congratulations on the wedding!

Yeah, exactly--you nailed it. The mind is incredibly capable of coming up with excuses to put things off. If you don't plan things out and come up with a schedule, then you'll inevitably find that the time has more or less slipped out of your grasp.

Today, it's, "I'll wait for the wedding."

Tomorrow, it's, "We just got married! I want to spend some time settling down!"

And so on and so forth.

Best of luck to us both.

Before you were a competitive dancer, you were not a competitive dancer.

Before you are not shy, you are shy.

Just as you‘ve learned to become a competitive dancer, you can learn to become a non-shy person.

The bad news is that it’s probably a lot of work. But so was becoming a competitive dancer, I assume.

Look for a professional who can professionally help you learn what you need to learn.

I‘m well aware that my comment might feel very arrogant. But I’m making it in a certain spirit: Long ago, someone told me that what we all really need is someone who tells us that we must do what we can do.
Stranger Things is set in the eighties. It's not that much of a stretch to have a local newspaper run by men who don't take a 19 year old female intern very seriously. It also has an obvious function as a plot device, since it would be kinda boring if Nancy instantly figured it all out and succeeded in getting her story published.

I have thought about and wanted exactly this when refactoring on a branch. I later want to perform the same refactoring upon rebasing to a newer point on master. There have even been times where I've done this manually by either making mental notes, or explicit bullet points of operations as I perform them. It works great but is tedious and is easy to imagine that the IDE could do this, or the IDE provide an API that can run a script of transformations. JetBrains and their set of tools is the closest place where I can imagine this could be achieved. Perhaps in combination with the language being edited represented in MPS[0] form (of which I have no knowledge).

MPS does present a different aspect in the examples shown. It is still text editing, but not the linear word by word syntax we're used to. We can make up 2D, tree, or any other structure that can conceptually and compactly represent our thinking.

One more point I have on this is that the editor itself can recognize 'edit units' that are not mere characters inserted/replaced/deleted. As edits are made, it can make higher level 'checkpoints' whenever a unit is recognized. The examples in this post are great examples: function declaration, renaming, invocation. Then the undo/redo can show text operations as low-level points as well as higher level ones identifying larger logical units. Having that, one could perhaps select a range of these and cut them to be replayed at a later point. This is similar to how I'll make small local git commits and later reorder, squash or drop commits or make them into separate PRs.

Ah, I now understand your argument. Well, if you want senile people prohibited from voting, then do it on the basis of senility, not on the basis of age. My mother is 91, and she's as qualified to vote as you are.

But if you want old people disqualified because you don't like the way they vote, get lost.
What are org files?
Awesome I enjoyed making some trend charts, and the results are fun (i.e I added DevOps, Erlang, Elixir). I think there is a risk it could conceal too many errors and biases for it to be useful for trend analysis. Using services like Twitter and Reddit might introduce biases into your data skewing trends. The challenge is using data and not understanding the intent (is it positive, negative or neutral/sarcastic potentially negative/positive). Google Adwords is good at this. I applaud your effort; I hope you keep going but its a tough nut to crack. I use markets like Google Adwords Tools to do this at the moment, have you looked at it? I think more info around time, intent and volume.
Not the GP, but you aren't allowed to touch settings like the shard recovery rate.

If a configuration change (changing # of nodes, instance type, etc) goes wrong, your cluster indefinitely gets stuck in Processing due to a race condition. The only way to get unstuck is to file a ticket. The company I'm at doesn't pay for AWS support, so at one point we ended up completely tearing down our cluster and rebuilding a new one (via Terraform) after getting tired of waiting for the reps. (They advised us to cut off log flow to let the system get out of processing, which we did, but it didn't work because once it gets stuck in processing like that it's just completely stuck).

It's difficult to troubleshoot issues - you can get some logs via Cloudwatch, but they're hard to search through and I'm not entirely positive everything shows up there.

Amazon is always several releases behind Elasticsearch versions.

Elastic.co's offering looks much better, just by reading their excellent comparison article: https://www.elastic.co/blog/hosted-elasticsearch-services-ro...

(We haven't used Elastic.co but what they say makes sense and I imagine their service is much better)

--

Once you hit a big enough scale - for us, we're pushing about 2TB a day of logs (that's before accounting for replication of course), it doesn't make sense to stay on Amazon's hosted service.

I'm in the process of advocating for in-housing our Elasticsearch setup and just building on top of ec2. Elasticsearh seems like the perfect candidate for Kubernetes since rebalancing is automatic and the affinity rules are simple (every Elasticsearch instance needs its own node). Cluster autoscaling (i.e. node-level, not _horizontal_) just makes too much sense.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten the go-ahead to take it inhouse, but I've been gunning for the project for some time now, so I'm hopeful I'll get the opportunity.

--

BTW, totally unrelated but for anyone managing Elasticsearch, make sure you have your shard count tuned properly. When I came to this company, they had their data way oversharded with primary shards varying between hundreds of kb to a few gb; i.e. orders of magnitude difference. Switching to ~50 GB shards (done via simplifying the way we were indexing) massively improved performance.

Also i3 instances > anything with EBS.

I was super shy (still can be).

I had to make a concerted effort to put myself in social situations. I used Meetup.com and went to anything that looked remotely interesting in groups that had women in them for two straight years, and just kept showing up at groups and making small attempts at chit-chat until people started recognizing me and started inviting me to other things.

I slowly became a lot more comfortable talking to people I didn't already know well (I'm still not great at it, though). It led to a few dates (not as many as I was hoping, but some) and the whole process got me more comfortable around women that I met via other methods, like online dating. Eventually one of those decided to stick around and we're getting married in the next couple of months after dating for over four years.

It took a lot of time and energy though, time I previously would spend hacking away at personal projects (I still did them, just a lot less). My social circle shrunk quite a bit after we started dating for awhile and I stopped going to meetups regularly. But that was one of the main goals I had for attending them and it ended up being successful for me.

It's pretty funny, I'll tell people I know from these groups that I'm a shy guy and an introvert, and they'll tell me "What are you talking about? You seem pretty extroverted to me!" They never saw the years where I only had a few friends I hung out with regularly and had trouble speaking to anyone else, though.

If I could, I would have gone back in time and started the process way back in college (but it would have been school clubs then).

I don't know if something similar will work for you, but you might want to consider it. If there's already several people you see all the time, you might want to try meeting some strangers, as they don't already have preconceived notions of who you are. Part of my personality was re-inforced by my friend group, and it took meeting a whole new set of people to allow me to help rewrite those perceptions.
If they need to verify, why do they need to talk to peer-vehicle sensors? Ideally what would happen is a car a quarter mile ahead gives the cars behind a heads up that something is different (construction, ladder or junk, stalled car ahead, icy conditions, etc.) but if this look ahead dats isn’t reliable of at least can’t be trusted, what are you verifying it against? Not your own sensors cuz then why even get this fleet data to begin with?
I just went to a funeral in the USA. It seems so Aussie to glue jokes to the coffin and it feels like that would never happen here (I'm an Aussie so perhaps biased).

SHA-384 can actually be faster than SHA-256 is some cases. The reason is that SHA-256 used 64 rounds with 32 bit words, while SHA-384 uses 80 rounds with 64 bit words. So, each block processed by SHA-384 is twice as big but uses less than twice as many rounds.

this is really good! I'm extremely happy to see more and more people drawn to orgmode. I'm currently working on a side project that involves blogging + agenda exporting and orgmode, still too rough to share, but hopefully soon. What I might share before is the org-mode parser and htmlfier that I wrote in clojure to support my project.

Anyway, orgmode is a real time and life saver. I use it daily to manage my tasks and keep notes on meetings/1:1s. I'll definitively play with this during the weekend!
There's inkdrop. The iOS app is pretty limited but it syncs with the desktop app and has an electron (I know, I know) app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It's extendable with plugins. I've been using it for a couple of months and I love it.

If you are not doing anything subversive then can you share with us some examples of the sites that are selectively blocking you? And give us an example of the public information that is sought. Perhaps disclosing any of the sites puts you at disadvantage versus potential competitors? It does not make much sense to block access to public information, assuming you are not interfering with others' access.
