I did some reading around to see how chariot axles were done at the time. This predates the chariot, the wheel and possibly domestication itself.

So even my visions of a nice iron age pig farm is as likely to be a reality of hunting wild boar in the forest, on foot.
Right, so my point is that we need a solution to that corruption which itself is not an avenue for corruption.
Yup, Jukedeck solved exactly this. Looks like they got bought by ByteDance very recently (https://musically.com/2019/07/23/ai-music-startup-jukedecks-...)!
Why? I don't mean to come of as hash, but that is eerily similar to how we ended up in Vietnam. What happens when Taiwan (or whoever you think these other allies are ... Japan and South Korea, presumably) gets run over by a numerically superior - by an order of magnitude - Chinese Army?

And how does one "credibly threaten the mainland with retaliation" without nuclear weapons? Honest question.
To be fair, a site can go down in any language...
I don’t think that’s the goal for most people. For those wanting to do enjoyable activities, hiking is a good way to get some exercise and enjoy nature, which can be as meditative as any other cardio.

If muscle mass is the goal, hiking isn’t the best way to do that. But it can be healthy in a variety of ways for many people.
The joke isn't funny because the irishman is stupid. The joke is funny because the irishman holds Guinness as his highest value.

That puppet can't tell you how to behave in life. Unless it is embodied in a human body that is relevant to the speaker and has a life context that is similar (requiring to eat, sleep, ect). The physical actions of the mind required to have a conversation are only part of our greater identity and awareness of ourselves in the world.

The puppet's existence in the world would be meaningless, though very intelligent. Why is there a puppet that can talk? What is it's purpose? Only a conscious being can answer that. The irishman's joke is funny because he chose Guinness as his reason to live, his highest value, his god, his philosophy.

What is the reason for a robot to be?

Everyone really is a victim these days aren't they. I'm sorry but as another tall, muscled software engineer, it sounds like you need to get off those forums.

I'm sure there are some people that feel that way, but when it comes to leadership, and other areas in life the truth is that your frame will give you 'instinctual' benefits. Not to mention with women.

Life isn't fair. But don't feel bad for the positive traits that you do have.
The US medias overhyped the country for so long now that I think you really believe you could make it a guaranteed win.

I don't think you can:

- China has the nuclear weapon, a space program, allies and no ethics or politics to slow them down.

- nobody won the cold war, and Russia was way less economically viable than China

- China has 1.3 billions people it is willing to sacrifice while the US has 4 time less, half of it being obese, plus they must censor the pics of coffins coming back from war because dying americans is not acceptable.

- China host all the factories, and provide a huge chunks of primary resources to the US.

- China is capable of being self-sufficient rapidly, as they have the land and the capabilities of going back to manual labor.

- China army has millenias of terrifying history. It may very well be still here in 10000 years. The US has 500 years of history, total.

- The US never entered a war that would affect their borders. Up till then, they brought the fire far from home, giving a false sense of indestructibility to their population. China is your neighbor.

- Attacking China means WWIII, it's not sure humanity can even survive it.
So you're positing that emotions are a cultural virus.
You’re right, a newspaper owned by a rich capitalist will be much less biased.
I'm aware. I said that somewhat tongue-in-cheek, because "defending democracy" is a favorite method of building up a case for military intervention.
Seeing it another way, assuming you did not read the young generation incorrectly: even the uninterested youngsters have a bottomline and cannot stand what the Chinese government is doing anymore.

As a Taiwanese, I am more optimistic than your are regarding the thinking and passion of young east Asians.
The go section is great, it's such a derpy 1980s language:

"Go's error type is simply an interface to a function returning a string.

Go lacks pattern matching & abstract data types.

Go lacks immutable variables.

Go lacks generics.

Go lacks exceptions"

I've been searching for as succinct a criticism as this and now have it, thanks.

> The Lisp source representation lacks this information and needs to be parsed/interpreted to construct this information.

That information doesn't have to go anywhere into the tree though; a compiler can generate code directly from a macro-expanded top-level expression without constructing any class-based concoctions involving inheritance.

The parsed Lisp data structure meets the textbook definition of AST in every regard, particularly after macro-expansion. All the nodes that are compound forms are clearly labeled and classified by symbols which denote the special operators. Recursive walks of the tree can readily branch to cases according to these symbols.

It's just a smarter version of the diagram you see in that Wikipedia page's top diagram.
If I’m not mistaken, video already is broadcast at 50/60 Hz. If so, how do broadcasters turn a 24 frames per second movie signal into a 50/60 frames per second video signal?

I would guess they use some (advanced) interpolation. If so, isn’t the problem one of a) interpolating twice instead of in one go and or b) using lower quality software inside the tv?

I would think a "Pre-auth" endpoint that can be called for user information is not what consumers want...
Not as far as I know. We all joined the company in late 2017 and found a couple of absolutely gigantic heaps in our main database as recently as the beginning of 2018 (running on SQL Server 2012 for several years at that time). Adding clustered indexes here had a transformational impact on performance.
I would say yes it's true, other than I didn't talk about the villains where their wealth is generally seen as a constrictor of their moral nature.

But essentially the wealthy characters have no focus on the mechanics of their wealth, other authors might say how much a character makes per year, what they are primarily invested in, how much of the wealth came from what things, what the coming war means for their investments. For Pickwick it is enough that they are wealthy and can do what wealthy people do. Pickwick in debtor's prison is a chance for him to focus on how the poor are generally treated from the viewpoint of a sympathetic rich character, as well as having an amusing situation "rich man in debtor's prison".

Even Scrooge, he lends money at exorbitant rates, underpays his employee, and does not use any money for his own enjoyment. No focus really on how the business works.
You can fix that/cheat around that by cleverly using a lambda as kwarg, I think... (Real hacky though)

From the first paragraph of the article:

> An atom typically can’t be assigned a definite position, for example — we can merely calculate the probability of finding it in various places.

Is this really the case? Or maybe author meant 'electron' instead of 'atom'?

I mean, if we wouldn't be able of calculating the position of an Atom, how could "A Boy And His Atom" would be possible?

> My comment is saying it doesn't matter if they wanted to use it for something as trivial as ECU updates

What I'm saying is that you've completely missed the OP's point: The advantage Tesla has in the autopilot space is that they are able to have hundreds of thousands of real-world test units for their autopilot systems by running the neural net in parallel with the driver inputs (i.e. shadow mode) versus companies that at best have a few hundred test units thus limited material to improve/iterate on their deep learning models.

A metaphor for the situation is Apple playing catchup in the AI and voice recognition space to Google because Google had years of material and huge sums of it to build their deep learning models while Apple had comparatively little. The underlying technologies used by either company might be very similar, but you can't throw hardware at the problem to play catch up -- you need that real-world input/learning material for the deep-learning model to be robust.
Not for structural use, which engineered wood is good replacement for concrete. Mybe some exterior cladding applications where there's already a lot of plastic products, I know some exist with recycled plastic but they seem pretty niche. Performance requirements for habitable environments (insulation, moisture control, outgassing/toxcity in fires etc) is different from outdoor use. It's probably down to process cost and scale, and the regulation around construction is generally pretty conservative.
Some are downright silly:

> C#: You can't perform any operations, even simple arithmetic, with objects inside a generic method (e.g. T plus<T>(T t1, T t2) { return t1+t2; }

Well... obviously.
This is literally a list of reasons why Go is wildly successful. Go is a language that does exactly what it needs to and no more. If you want more, there are plenty of languages that have more syntax than users.

Crackpot theories aside, likes are just a stupid way to look at the world, the bigger scandal is how long it took all these supposedly smart people to figure that out.
Junior women can't pull a 5 plate DL. Women can, but certainly not junior. Even for men it takes some time to get there.

You’re both correct: someone “should” lose their job, but nobody will.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but Elizabeth is still being sarcastic here, as is very much in her character, despite Jane's request to the contrary.
For sure, but my beef here (as every time I hear this) is that it's taking an exception and turning it into a fear-mongering boogie-man story that paralyses people into inaction when they (often) have serious performance bottlenecks in their database that need to be addressed. So often with performance it's down to the basics not being followed, and often this comes down to the lack of an appropriate index.
Yes, they eat just meat, but smoking prevalence is over 50% [0], and alcoholism is rampant [1].

> that is eerily similar to how we ended up in Vietnam

Vietnam involved American ground troops. Upgrading a country’s standing army is different.

(Tactical note. China has a huge army. It’s navy is humbler. Troop transport capacities are manageable with the right guns and logistical lines. Add to that the international waters separating Taiwan and China, and an invasion can be rendered untenable.)

that is eerily similar to how we ended up in Vietnam> how does one "credibly threaten the mainland with retaliation" without nuclear weapons?

Non-nuclear ballistic missiles. Cruise missiles. Mines. Stealth bombers.
It's still a good idea. Hell, I recently configured my editor to expand "todo"/ into "TODO | -- $name, $date" (where | is where the caret ends after expansion).

Code often outlives its VCS history. I've seen it in every company (except one) I worked for. Signing and dating comments lets you evaluate whether the remark is still applicable and who to bug about regardless of how deeply the VCS goes, and doesn't require you to jump through multiple Blame sessions to filter out commits that only touched or moved, but otherwise not changed the comment.

7 millions people in Honk Kong cannot win against 1.3 billions of people from main land, no matter how many weapons you provide.

"Making a second Tiananmen Square painful for Beijing is not" could be a good strat, but something tells me they learned from that one and have a plan for it this time.
And that's fine, but you obviously did some investigation: what irks me is people trotting out this line about insert performance with no investigation.

Of course, if you over-index a table, there can be some impact but in the general case that I've seen over the years that's seldom the problem.

>In this case, you need to make sure you can recognize the new value and not explode just from seeing it, then get that shipped everywhere. Then you have to be able to do something reasonable when it occurs, and get that shipped everywhere. Finally, you can flip whatever flag lets you start actually emitting that new value and see what happens.

Can't those first 2 steps be combined together? Why do they need to be shipped separately?

The idea that there is a man/machine trade off is a fallacy. In fact whatever is hard for the machine is also hard for the human and vice versa. Syntax requiring hard-core parsing techniques is also harder for humans to understand and to parse.

If you're already thinking in abstract syntax, encoding it in concrete syntax is extra work. The more convoluted the concrete syntax, the more work it is. And then consequently to decode it.

Analogy:

"When you write plain text, you're doing the job that the machine should be doing for you because you're writing in the direct decoded output! You should type your data directly in compressed format; then you could take advantage of GNU gzip to decode for you! The gzip format has useful syntactic sugars for reducing verbosity, like indicating that some fragment of a few bytes is to be repeated. And you can further express yourself in fewer bits using convenient Huffman codes and such."

The fallacy is rooted in taking it for granted that the convoluted representation is the more convenient one in which programmers actually think and, furthermore, that the only operation whose cost matters is the conversion of that representation to the abstract one, not vice versa.
The defer interaction with named return values is going to give me nightmares.

We have a senior dev whose software caused a memory leak in prod. One of our less senior devs (who has an engineering PhD in concurrent systems theory) immediately identified that the senior was trying to do clever optimizations for single threadedness that simply cannot work when concurrent... I wouldn't be surprised if his code is causing a goroutine leak.

I am convinced that go is popular because it's comfortable to elder seniors and makes them think they can use their aging python/c/c++ skills in something flashy, new, concurrent, "supported by Google" and... Well at least it's genuinely safer.

Disclaimer: I'm an aging dev myself.
One of the reasons I always get annoyed when I work in windows: Programs take forever, I need the mouse for everything, and god, the installation times.

I recently started working at a company where we use Linux workstations. I work on a machine where I don't have sudo rights. Yesterday I asked a co-worker if he could install a package for me. From the time of me asking and the time that the package was installed on all the workstations, there was about 10 seconds. Nice.
Interesting thing is, I can't see them needing both this land and the downtown San Jose land. I think the latter is a ruse just to park cash, and they can blame the leftist activism there to shift primary building in Sunnyvale.
It should be noted that even Kant said that Hume "awoke me [kant] from my dogmatic slumber." Hume is pivotal to Kant's work, so at least reading the Enquiry is a good thing to read before Kant.
>>Nothing can beat free (which is where Hotstar is stuck, competing with YouTube).

As you yourself mentioned cheap beats expensive in India. And because of the latest TRAI rules of selling TV channels in packages, cable TV has just become prohibitively expensive. Earlier you could get all the channels for 500 rupees, you get nothing for that today.

Which is a big reason Netflix like streaming services will win big in the coming future.

>>For this particular price point, restricted to mobile and a single screen at a time, what matters to this audience segment would be more Indian content.

Anybody buying this plans has a smart phone that can cast to a TV. So its not exactly mobile only. Plus if you have one account it works for the whole family.

Depends on your updating architecture.. If you have a central backend service, but scheduled patches or the user has to manually update, that might become a problem. There could also be the case that client and backend can be updated independently and one might not be done before the other. The issue might only exist for a few minutes, or an hour, but would still be a huge impact on the software.
