* Isn't this outdated retro technology compared to layer normalization?*

Yeah, no.

Train Resnet-50 with batchnorm, and with layer norm (or weight norm, or group norm), and you will see batchnorm is still the best.
> So to do this pro/con analysis you probably need to include the pros of these related technologies as well, which are certainly more than trivial amusement.

Like the time my uncle (by marriage) sent a JibJab to the whole family featuring 4 recently-dead family members... real big pro, I'm sure... /s
‘Price Gouging,’ Hurricane Dorian Victims’ Best Friend
NSFW warnings aren't about what you have an issue with. They're about what your hypothetical 60-year-old conservative boss has an issue with.
In the post you replied to I stated two specific benefits of dark mode. I don't understand how you got from that post to "gimmick."

- Dark mode saves battery (for OLED displays). The discussion was on "true dark" Vs. grey. Not dark Vs. non-dark modes.

- Dark mode is useful in low light/dark rooms/night usage.

It isn't a gimmick and a lot of people like it. I happen to be one of them. I'd use it even without any battery savings.
Why would anyone prefer to go to a restaurant(unless it be some really special occasion), if the same food could be served at your own home, at the same or even lesser cost;so I think irrespective of what a few restaurants owners may think, the consumers are likely to continue to use the app based delivery services.

It might be the case that like other similar aggregation businesses, these app services benefit the consumer more than the other actors like the restaurants or delivery agents, but as consumer that could be a good thing.
Patients Know Best | Remote only | Full time | GMT+-2 only

Our service makes life better for patients, healthcare professionals and carers. Our roll-out in NW London makes us the UK's largest patient portal, and we're expanding into a global market. We're fully remote, and we've built the company this way since the start. We rely on good communication & collaboration (both within and across teams), and we're still small enough that you'll meet everyone.

We are hiring software and site reliability engineers -- see our opening at https://www.patientsknowbest.com/careers.html. Our tech stack is Java, Angular, some Kotlin, Python, Go, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, GCP.

We're currently looking for engineers relatively early in their career (1-5 years of experience), but we are generally open to exceptions. :)
The death of the command line: Sysadmins need DevOps programs and the shell
Well, you only have to because your laptop OEM didn't.

Almost any time you find something that doesn't work on your laptop, it's because the manufacturer used chipsets that didn't follow spec and/or only worked with Microsoft to produce drivers.

So it's unfortunate that your laptop didn't work immediately, but it's also impossible for kernel devs to produce perfect drivers if no one shares hardware specs with them. That's just unreasonable.

If you want a laptop made for Linux like the one you own was made for Windows, you can either buy from one of the many vendors that advertise Linux support or you can shop by chipset to make sure they're all supported. Personally, I appreciate the choice, but I know not everyone wants to know how the clock works, just what time it is.
Yes. I like the language because it is so simple to implement; when I want to do live discovery on something new (hardware or software), I load up a forth and start playing. If fits everywhere and it is easy to discover stuff without having to jump through hoops.
There's an additional rarely-noticed feature tied to downvotes, that no one considers when they propose this: If a post gets a huge number in a tiny duration (like, -10 in under a minute after being posted), a bot will close and delete the post.

This is a way for regular users to immediately eliminate inappropriate content, such as porn or advertisements. I've seeing it go off many many times in my years at the SciFi stackexchange.
I'm pretty confident Waze routes people not by posted speed limits, but by average driving habits and traffic speeds.

I do think Waze users are self-selecting. People that are willing to take "short cuts" choose Waze. I often ignore Waze's suggestions and have had people in the car with me comment on the extra turns and backroads.

There's a certain type of driver who prefers to mostly "tune out" and take the most direct route versus someone who wants to get there with the quickest ETA even if that means a more complex route.
The (Mostly) Complete History of Grafana UX
I have no idea whether nVidia willing to change that list for small software publishers. Technically, I know 2 workarounds.

1. If your app’s main .exe is written in C, C++ or something similar, you can change the default by DLL exporting a DWORD variable from your exe. For more info, search the web for `NvOptimusEnablement`.

2. If you can’t export variables from your .exe, you can do what I did: make an installer, write a custom installer action in C (technically they’re just DLLs), in that custom action consume NVApi and create a new profile for the main executable of your software. For more info, read this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40915100

Update: you can also detect dual-GPU system and use NVApi from your app, but it has 2 disadvantages. Slightly increases startup time. Also the new settings will only be applied next time user launches the app, you’ll need to communicate it that with your user, with a message like “please restart the game for better 3D performance”.
I can't really blame him though, if you assume Amazon is the standard marketplace for everything all you'll find is Cherry blue and red switches, and Razer/Logitech's versions of those. It wasn't until I attended a mechanical keyboard conference that I found out about Zealios, by far my favorite switch but near-impossible to find in pre-built boards. Even Clears, which are really great and my favorite Cherry switch, are somewhat hard to find if you don't know specific keyboard sites.
I urge everyone to get an ergonomic keyboard. Your hands will thank you as you get older.
There was a longish recent thread on a mailing list where people described well (and linked to) why they like OpenBSD.

The most recent one I saw gave a reasonable sense of some tradeoffs:

Why Are People Who Use Illegal Drugs Demonized?
> why would voltage safety tests be unethical? why would one actually test flesh, instead of the theoretical safety models?

Well, Edison did it that way because it made for better PR for people to watch criminals or elephants being killed by deadly ac, than to have them read papers on theoretical safety models.
The nav keys, right control key, and function keys are all in the wrong place, and IIRC, all the keys are a bit too small, so I was hitting two at a time sometimes. I also prefer a right hand super key so I can lock my workstation with one hand.
This points to the disturbing truth of how incredibly complete Google's monopoly is: Even browsers not based on Chrome are strongly pushed to implement Chrome's platform changes anyways.

Looking for: Freelance work or to relocate to London or somewhere equally exciting

Worked at a YC startup in Stockholm for two years as Head of Digital (small team, so product management combined with plenty of hands-on frontend work). I went full-time on my own project in the edtech space this January, Citationsy (a reference management app with 150K users). I’m available for frontend work (no React or Angular), freelance or full-time considered.
Working on something similar for iOS and watchOS for some time, planning to ship it this year.
JW, how do you create static job pages with Notion that are publicly viewable?
The number of generations of processors where this has been true is really astounding to me. It really makes me wonder why they persist with this line of effort instead of doing something else, like cores that share logic units only.
You are assuming they only go to the store once a week; and that there isn't a cost to them not having what they need when they need it. The cost can be in reduced productivity/time loss, etc or it can be in over-provisioning in which you buy extras that aren't needed (and may never be used).
Having been a vegetarian for fifteen years, I simply don't see how it's possible to eat vegetarian healthily without cooking for yourself from scratch. Of course these burgers are not healthy especially compared to meat burgers whose worst ingredient is the bun (which could be replaced by healthy beard instead of the sugar cake it is at most places). Since I started eating meat again, I dropped fifty pounds without even trying (exercise helped a bit). I agree, eating processed foods is terrible and as a vegetarian that doesn't cook there are few alternatives. It's easy to eat garbage and get fat as a vegetarian.

The primary problem with fake news is not that people are fabricating evidence. Sure, that does happen on occasion but it is relatively rare and is usually debunked pretty quickly. The biggest issue is that there are sources that can't be trusted and consumers don't have the skills or tools to identify those untrustworthy sources or simply don't care that their sources might be biased. Fixing the first problem (which is all some type of signing certificate could hope to do) doesn't accomplish much if we can't also addresses the second problem.
It’s sort of amazing that given the fast-moving legalization of sports betting, there hasn’t been a lot of VC action in the space, either on the platform side or on the content/services side.

I can count on one hand the number of funded companies over the past six or seven years, and I can think of only one that has exited. Might have something to do with vice provisions dictated by LPs, but it certainly seems like a ripe growth area.
Comedy can absolutely be critique, I don't know why you would dismiss it out of hand.
Amazing rant.

But what bothers me is that the human animal is trying to create an artificial human mind, the most amazing piece of meat we have laying around.

If we could create the reasoning of a dog first, to then upscale to more complex logic, I'd be more confident research is going places (as in, we have biological evidence building blocks to understand first).
Golang 1.13 Released
Be careful talking about chinese bots, the mods will come after you.
What kind of circles is everyone in? I didn't realize that tapbacks had a name, and wondered why I'd occasionally see a message like:

A: foo

B: liked "foo"

but I just use either Messenger, Wechat, or Snapchat. The only time I open my SMS app is to view 2FA Codes.
> Most people would still want their own car.

I don't think that's a given. The car is typically someone's second largest or largest expense, yet has only a 5% utilization rate. It will become much cheaper to pay by the ride rather than own both because the owner can get a significantly larger utilization rate and because monopsony, or at least fleet buying will reduce purchase and maintenance costs (part uniformity, wear leveling etc).

There will be transitional effects of course, as people currently 30-60 yo will have the hardest time "letting go" but the economic value released will be significant.
Is it just my imagination or did that “smart reply” video teaser feature an Apple emoji thumbs-up emoji as an UI element of Android?
FWIW the `control` packages contains versions of `dotimes` and `tagbody`.

Make an issue with regards to the filename inconsistency. I hadn't noticed before - and had to look it up. The confusion stems in the fact that both "file name" and "filename" count as correct spelling (sigh).

Wrt to `time` take a look at the `benchmark` package:

I had a difficult time picking between the Pixel 3 or the Razer Phone 2, but the Razer Phone 2 was much better and not really difficult to root, along with Treble support. In the end, it was either pay an extra $100-$150 for native updates and a better camera app on the Pixel, or pay less for a much better phone overall and have unlock my phone for more recent updates and try using a modded camera app. So far I'm still happy with my choice.
After working at IPinfo for a year I can't say enough about how awesome the team and the work was. It's a great place to grow and learn.

Highly recommend them!
I read that current camera manufacturers already have some e-signature code inside cameras, but it is hackable..
An artificial memory would be if they directly altered the system for storage of memories (however that works), rather than spoofing inputs to that system.

I guess I never really noticed about the nav keys and function keys because I don't use them much. I would like to have slightly bigger keys, but it's not enough of a downside to me to use a different keyboard. (Side note: why don't keyboards come in different sizes by default? Hands come in different sizes, so should keyboards.)
Blue bubbles good. Green bubbles bad.

That's a fallacious argument. Imperfect solutions can still be superior to the unmitigated problem, and they are in this case. You're essentially arguing that unless the solution is perfect, they shouldn't even try, and I'd point out you haven't justified or even tried to justify that black or white point of view.

Open Source Feminism: The Unfinished Revolution
> It is a difficult tradeoff.

It's not a tradeoff we can make because the nature of computer security is that unless you fix the software and networks, you can't even identify the criminals, let alone catch them, presuming they're even in your legal jurisdiction. There's a tremendous asymmetry between attacker and defender in terms of cost+benefit, and it heavily favors the attacker.

In any event, computer crimes are punished with an iron fist in the U.S. What's not criminally prosecuted and punished very well is harassment. Yes, if social media platforms offered less anonymity, we could deal with harassment easier. But organized criminal organizations don't need the anonymity of Twitter to pilfer and fence credit card numbers; they have the anonymity of zombie networks and stolen accounts. And you can't address that with harsher penalties. If you penalized that activity with summary execution, the problem would substantially remain. And in fact in some respects it could get worse by deterring security research.

We have no choice but to fix the vulnerabilities. We have to make it more difficult to execute these attacks from a technical perspective, dramatically increasing the likelihood of identification and capture, before we can even hope of using criminal penalties as a substantial deterrent. We're a long way off from that day.
The problem with his question is it assumes the society that is consuming is the one that is to blame for the deforestation. If America quit incentivising through policies, China or some other country would just pick up the supply.

The supply needs to be addressed at the source. That's the only correct solution.
Expecting a laptop to improve education because it's "tech" is like reading a book chosen at random and expecting to become more intelligent.
When did books become bad? Now to save money schools give out tablets or chrome books and the kids just watch YouTube all day.
Still, only 10.4% of Android devices are running version 9.
But this is clearly not a property of the particular notation, but lambda-calculus itself (and the way beta-reduction is defined). If you were to make it a constant-time operation in length it literally wouldn't be lambda-calculus.

Which actually makes me curious: what sort of change did you have in mind?

One of the problems worth trying to solve is Food Wastage. In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30-40 percent of the food supply. This estimate, based on estimates from USDA's Economic Research Service of 31 percent food loss at the retail and consumer levels, corresponded to approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food in 2010.
>…[Amazon] dictates almost every aspect of that operation, down to what drivers wear, what vans they use, what routes they follow, and how many packages they must deliver each day.

>Amazon says its role is to lend entrepreneurs a hand as they build small businesses and not to control their companies, equipment, or labor force. It said it does not make personnel decisions for them, and while it offers them the opportunity to lease vans, purchase insurance, and manage payroll through its preferred programs, they are free to use whichever vendors they choose.

That sounds alot to me like the relationship that Uber/Lyft/Instacart/etc. have with their drivers, but at the business level.

That being said, I don't think it's too unique. For example, if you take a close look at a FedEx Ground delivery van (not FedEx Express, FedEx Ground), there'll be a note that the vehicle is actually being operated by a separate company, under contract to FedEx. Comcast, AT&T, et al also use contractors for end-user work; you'll see their vehicles have some sort of company logo, but also some text like "under contract" or "installers for".

So I'm genuinely curious, especially when thinking about FedEx Ground, how is Amazon different here?
Topre Realforce keyboards are expensive, but very good quality, and pleasant to use. A pair of them have been my daily drivers at home and at work for the last 8 years.

I think the OP's article is quite a good rundown on basic usability features that are perplexingly missing on many keyboards. The Realforce ticks the boxes - except for extra media keys, which YMMV on. I also appreciate the ability to swap the CTRL and CAPS LOCK key on the keyboard by flipping a dip switch, which allows my preferred layout (it even includes the extra replacement caps lock key, and it actually has an LED under where the old CTRL is, so you keep your caps indicator).
In this case, yes. I think it's better to use light apps at a low brightness level than to use dark apps that might or might not blast a white screen at you. I think that flash of light is terrible for your eyesight, much worse than constant light apps.
