This guy manages to, within three sentences, turn a eulogy into a diss of IEEE floating point calculations, only to boast about how his shitty proprietary math toolbox does arbitrary precision better.

Just one of many grating examples of how he communicates. He's a genius though, so he has that going for him...
It's not age that is the problem. You can flush the toilet paper in European cities older than Seoul.

It's clearly not listed as an anti-pattern here.
I think it's not as clear as you claim and more like a big gray area, like a lot of fan art out there. Some images in the dataset themselves might be infringing on some other publisher's rights. On the other hand some artists knowingly submit their original art to the image boards.

Where exactly is the point between a derivative work and an original work that was inspired by something? A lot of fan art I see clearly depicts a character from some franchise in a style that is close to the original, but say, in a new pose or setting. Is that copyright infringement? Trademark infringement? What if it's an original character in the exact style from the franchise?

Some artists sell this kind of art as their own at conventions and will aggressively try to remove reposts on the web. On the other extreme, I've seen other artists tag any fan art remotely connected with some franchise with "copyright by <franchise owner>" and denounce any rights to their work.
Yes, I agree that there is an argument to be made here, just not on the basis that the model is 'just a matrix of numbers.' Of course, when we're talking about this many weights, one must wonder exactly how much of the input images is actually pretty much directly encoded in the resulting network.
Sure they have monopolies on their platforms, but the key point is how they act within their monopolies

Everything that people complain about with Apple us even worse with the consoles.

1. People complain about having to buy a Mac and pay $99 a year to develop for iOS. You can’t even develop on a PlayStation without signing an NDA and I couldn’t find anywhere reputable that knew the price.

2. The console makers also get a cut of every game sold on their platform - either physical or digital.

3. The platform owners - especially Nintendo - are much stricter about what they will allow on their platforms.

4. It’s much harder to “sideload” console games.

5. All of the console makers have first party games where they don’t have to pay a fee to themselves.

Whether creating a music app on their system that is by default at a 30% revenue advantage compared to their competitors runs afoul of these laws is the question.

Spotify hasn’t allowed in app subscriptions for years so they don’t pay a fee.

But on the other hand, I can “sideload” my own music and integrate it with my Apple Music library without paying Apple anything. Can I do that with Spotify? It seems like Spotify has more of a walled garden than Apple...
There is no such thing. They have to have meant v10, and climbing v10 "in a few months" is an incredibly skeptical claim.

Without some kind of gymnast background I honestly don't think it's possible. Even 0 to v10 in a year is hard to believe. I've heard of phenoms doing it in 2 or 3 years, and don't doubt a year is possible... but a few months? Kind of like going from couch to sub 5-minute mile in a few months.
It was AA who was acting in bad faith.

If they wanted to stop the so-called fraudulent usage of the pass, they could have just asked. He cancelled so many flights because he thought that was allowed. If they told the guy he would lose his lifetime pass if he kept cancelling or no-showing, he would have stopped.

AA didn't give him a single warning. He always booked through an human agent, so they had plenty of opportunities. Instead they let him through airport security, and took his lifetime pass at the gate leaving him without his luggage.

This was clearly the act of a company that had a huge liability based on a one-sided contract that was easy for them to break out of. The only question is whether it was worth the PR hit, but it doesn't seem like the blowback has been that bad so far.

He didn't deal with random ticket agents. Lifetime pass holders call a dedicated number just for them. Those answering knew who he was and he knew them by name.
Ugh. Matthias Rath has got a lot of blood on his hands. His “vitamins cure AIDS and heart disease” shpiel directly killed people during his “clinical trials” in South Africa. He also influenced and exacerbated AIDS denialism, the denialism which which lead to the deaths of tens of thousands people and is largely responsible for the incumbency of populist and massively corrupt president Jacob Zuma which has seriously set that country back.

Matthias Rath. Just wow. What a savagely ruthless piece of work.

Edited out the profanity at end.
You don't have to do anything to get decent privacy on iOS because it comes like that out of the box.

Do you honestly believe that Google has less data on Android users, compared to Apple for iOS users?

> Again, this is opt in even on Google-flavored Android devices

No, it's opt-out. For example see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2uSGGl0LWc&t=3m41s - setup on a Pixel and all the location stuff is on by default.

> On iOS, there is nothing you can do to stop your device from doing this

Oh, how do I turn this on for iOS?

When I turn off WiFi it says that "improved location accuracy require Wi-Fi".

That's why Electron GUIs are good. People say they are bloated, but at least the program is available for Linux as well.
Rail passengers to Denver, CO, in 1869, numbered nil. Construction of the 100 mile Denver Pacific spur line to the transcontinental railroad route in Cheyenne not only increased that somewhat, but saw Denver's population grow from 4,700 th over 35,000 within ten years.

Induced demand is a thing.
I think it's better to say that "for most people there is a better alternative" than to say that pie charts should never be used.

EDIT: If you are showing who ate which parts of a pizza (to be pedantic) I'm sure a pie chart may be the best case solution. My favourite use of pie charts is to compare the harmonic series and the series 1/x^2, but then again this latter example is not really a traditional pie chart.

What do you mean by depth first vs breadth first? Naively I would assume task scheduling necessarily to be depth first in some sense because you have to evaluate your tasks' dependencies first.

I have consulted in very large financial institutions. Yes, there are a lot of rules.

While the earliest versions of Haskell date back that far, those combinators only came out in 2007 (IIRC).
Using these numbers: https://theicct.org/publications/transatlantic-airline-fuel-... , which shows ~34 pax-km/l efficiency

and the fact that a Prius does ~40 km/l, a plane flight, per-passenger, does about as well as a single-occupancy vehicle for each passenger travelling the same distance. The environmental trouble really comes from the fact that it is easy to fly long distances. It is ~7400 miles from SFO to Sydney, so a round-trip really does burn about as much gas as a year's worth of single-occupancy automobile driving.

The article states that the person in question flew at least 30,000,000 miles. That is, in carbon terms, assuming a 2017 aircraft, equivalent to driving around the world at least ~1200 times in a single-occupancy vehicle.
I would beg to differ. There are a lot of people / kids using it that don't really understand what is going on under the hood.

Also the number of bugs that get marked as Won't Fix that are real problems by upstream doesn't help so a lot of people like myself just don't bother after a while and just end up using something else or living with it being broken.

This is killing time not enjoying life.
So a couple things. The community does have experienced devs. But the language is just fun and expressive to use.

IMO all the “fighting with the borrow checker” stuff is overblown. If you do get some complaint from the compiler, it is usually very easy to fix.

Moreover, rust is very expressive. The functional facilities coupled with combinators make the language very ergonomic to use.

I use the language for almost everything I can. If it’s something that would normally be a quick script, I will still reach for rust but not be very constrained.

If the project turns into something more it’s easy to refactor and decrease memory usage etc. Testing is kind of a “first class citizen” so that plus “compilation driven development” make it a pretty hackable tool.
I think you have a valid point--new technology like roads and cars will always come with some risk. Whether or not we use the technology depends on how comfortable we are with the risk.

However, I think there is a lot of evidence (including death statistics) that cars are not worth the risk, compared to alternatives like trains, biking, and walking. Cars and infrastructure to support cars is detrimental to our health, economy, and society in ways that will take decades to correct.

The Science of Regrettable Decisions
> Only 15% of women ranked inclusion as a top priority, which is telling.

The problem with top rank only is that the top spot is basically a dice roll between various things which are important for people. A "top 3" (or another number significantly smaller than all categories asked, but more than 1) is usually far more interesting and less driven by chance. That doesn't invalidate what you wrote - maybe it is unimportant for most people, but there's not enough data here to tell.
It’s not a conflict. A huge portion of the population is just still in denial.
That’s a strange take on this. Not all staff are authorized to speak on the company’s behalf. That’s true almost anywhere I’ve worked. Your efforts cannot always be recognized externally. NDAs and various other types of contracts commonly outline that.
Consider a machine with N cores running a program which spawns N parallel tasks, each of which in turn spawns N parallel tasks. Which subtasks do the cores work on initially? If it's the first subtask of each top-level task, that's breadth-first scheduling. If it's all N subtasks of the first top-level task, that's depth-first scheduling. The latter is better for high-performance computing because it tends to be the lower level libraries that are really carefully tuned to make optimal use of the machine (think BLAS/FTT/parallel sum/prefix sum). Previously it was unknown how to implement this kind of scheduling efficiently. See this talk by Kiran Pamnany for more details:

Note that Comiket, the biggest dojinshi (amateur zines) market in Japan that attracts over a half million attendees semiyearly, has a larger percentage of female exhibitor attendants than males. The notion that anime/otaku culture is overwhelmingly occupied by males is patently false.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiket
Yes. I’ve done it before - plans change
Cilk does indeed sync on function return. You can also manually call 'cilk_sync'. I do think that Cilk’s approach is better (more in line with “make error states unrepresentable”, which I’m a big fan of), but Julia’s approach seems to be more in line with their overall goal of giving the programmer as much control as possible. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but as said above... we’ll find out soon!

Front end development if anything has regressed with javascript and front end frameworks, about the only way it's improved is in the questionable cross platform story.

The smartphone is obviously a gradual (occasionally not so gradual) improvement on PDA's, app stores existed before them too, although usually belonging to the phone operator or network.

We hear about amazon because they're in the tech industry, I bet if you followed the logistics industry as closely you'd see a lot of improvements. Particularly outside of the US where amazon doesn't have the same footprint.
Once I rented a car in Seattle one way to Vancouver. Apparently there is some shitburg nobody has ever heard of called Vancouver, WA but I was going to the more famous Canadian city. The flunkie at the counter booked the domestic trip and I drove to the proper Vancouver. When I got there they tried to charge me over $8000 in fees. I think there is no practical upper bound to what they'll try to charge you for such things.

I’m similar. I have one multi year gap and a number of smaller gaps. Nobody has ever commented on or asked me about them. I do put any relevant projects I’ve done in that time on my CV, if I have any, but I done’t always have much technical stuff to show for the time. I have started startups though and run a programming meet-up, in mostly asked about those.
This is the story of typically bad business decision of offering anything "unlimited".

I just cancelled my account with the vendor of "unlimited" cloud storage (who would throttle uploads to their promised unlimited cloud storage to curb the effects of bad business decision) to the benefit of clear, high performance vendor.

Whenver you see "unlimited" or "unlimted forever" - question this. If nothing else - ride the wave but don't expect it to be "unlimited" or "forever".
Do you happen to know the name of the story?

And in the context of the story, would it not be plausible that they would acclimate to being isolated from their peers? There is precedent. In WW2 there were Japanese soldiers that remained fighting their war for decades after Japan surrendered, cut off from anyone that they could feasible interact with as they still believed they were deep in enemy territory, coming out only when their commanding officer relieved them of duty.
I'm hoping this was coordinated with the CEO and he's getting free lunch tomorrow for the successful publicity stunt.
still have to be careful about data races and thread synchronization, though:

From my point of view, having 5 or 10 company email addresses can make an impact where you start your cloud-based side-project. Why most cloud providers don't implement that as an entry point?
Why do merge tools pretend that "their" and "our" or "remote" and "local" are good labels? Can they not show the commit message and hash? Nowadays with history editing often both sides are local and mine.
I read once that one reason is ADA compliance. Having a gap under the partitions allows space for the toes of wheelchair users to navigate, so the stalls may be smaller.

I think pre-purchase folks "see" two model S cars, and one model X.

Dang, what a mess this thread. Anyway, the first one is to never speak of what one does not know. I always get into trouble when I open my fat stupid mouth.

So always think twice before speaking, and if so, speak wisely.

The other one, tho related, is to never lose your temper. Never ever. This can get you in so much trouble that it is basically suicidal.

The satisfaction of a little rage is never worth the cost.
That’s fair. Since you mentioned it, I think I’ve read something to that effect. Without having searched the topic myself yet, is wool an alternative in that use case? Seems it’d be far superior though certainly not as cheap nor convenient as a large multi-pack of cotton undershirts.

That's the kind of people mensa attracts. Gifted people are often highly emotional. If you're gifted in one respect you are more likely to be gifted in another. Some are intellectually gifted. Some are emotionally gifted. Many are both. And I believe the chances that you are both increases as you move from gifted to highly gifted to profoundly gifted.
The smartest person in the room will more often be a MENSA type, the smartest person in the company will more often be gifted across the board.

Sorry I'm in that position myself. A couple of years ago I compiled it without too much difficulty, and the included example I tried out rendered a page to a .png. Doing that for that for thousands of PDFs would just take a loop (or find -exec) if you have the files locally.
I think self-hosting is the wrong choice for most people.

The effort you need to put in to first build out the system, and then maintain it, and all the while jump through the various hoops that are required to have Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc, accept email from you, is significant.
