That was fixed in Swift 3.0 following the acceptation of SE-0046.

In Swift 1.0, this applied to methods but not functions as it was following up from Objectice-C (foo:bar:baz: would become foo(_:bar:baz)), in Swift 2.0 it was expanded to all callables, and in Swift 3.0 it was removed and to be specified explicitly making labelling completely consistent.
We just came back from a month in India with our lovely 1.5 y/o twins. They honestly made the trip 10x better. Their awe and wonder really opened our eyes. And getting help is easy when you're around backpackers.
As a research scientist, I can not tell you how many scientists straight up read paragraphs of pre written info off of ppts. So boring and impersonal!

I'm conflicted about electronic, non-regulated payment systems.

On one hand (not to be an anarchist or anything) I like the idea of government having less control of things (up to a point) and that we could potentially have lots of choice of currencies although that could be a problem in itself if you have to "hold" lots of currencies.

On the other hand, the reality will be one or two mega-currencies, FB, Amazon, Google etc. will be eventually used for everything. And the last thing I want is Google telling me one day that I have violated their TOS and all my currency belongs to them. Especially if I pay for a ton of stuff in it and there is no recourse due to using AI.

If I had to pick a side, I think I'd stick with centralised gov. in this case!

HM isn't much better. The first time I was banned here was for calling her a fraud who is getting away with what she's doing because of all the useful idiots who put identity ahead of substance.
The way I think about it is: kids are difficult at home or abroad. You might as well go on an adventure and do something interesting with them regardless.

I’m Australian, married with three young kids. Earlier this year, we flew to the US, bought an old bus, renovated it cheaply in Walmart carparks and drove across the continent twice. 20+ states over three months, including a lunch in Mexico. Slept in the bus, in motels, etc. Kids are 1, 4 and 6. It was brilliant.
What language / stack do you know or use the most? go to staticgen.com and filter by your preferences. I used sculpin as it's really simple and for static landing pages you don't have to mess with many things. I tried gatsby, and to include an script on the head (the gtm js) you have to use a plugin or escape the script and include on helmet. I also used docfx indirectly to make automatic documentation pages for dotnet apis and it worked flawlessly, however I didn't have to do anything special on it, which is where the problems start to appear.
Hmm... Like when Oracle created their "bare metal" product. There just wasn't much left to add to the database engine to eliminate the need for a general-purpose operating system. I suspect graphics, audio, and pointing input may be significant barriers to doing the same thing here.

Maybe giving police that much discretionary power is a bad idea.
The point is that his opinion wasn't decades old.
Let me put it this way, I can define and and give the definition to someone and they can recognize it, a computer can recognize a chair, but for consciousness I cannot define it and I cannot give a definition to someone to recognize it, it is not even definable.
Yes, however that wasn't the case before SE-0046 (Swift 3): the early iterations had much stronger ties to objective-c where the method "names" the first parameter, so the first parameter could not be labelled separately.

From Swift 3 onwards, parameters and their labelling is completely consistent.

GP is wrong in one place though (at least for swift 2, not sure for swift 1): you could label the first formal parameter explicitly, it just wouldn't be labelled by default (unlike other parameters). That is:

func f(p1:p2:)

would define

f(_:p2:)

but

func f(p1 p1:p2:)

would define

f(p1:p2:)

Also, just to make things weirder, this special-casing would not apply to initialisers.

Do you think that the person who looked at you and proceeded to call you a fag showed you respect?
It's worth noting (again) that the age of consent at that time, in that place, was 16.

I believe RMS is on record saying that he thinks the idea of a legal "age of consent" is a nonsense. It's entirely an arguable position that if two 16-year-olds have sex together, they have not necessarily raped one-another. He's saying that it's not the age that makes it rape, and that therefore the law is an ass. The law effectively defines consent as something that cannot legally be given by someone younger than X. Obviously the younger someone is, the less likely it is that they can give consent; RMS is complaining that the law gives X an arbitrary value.

One can disagree with him, either with a proper argument, or simply by denouncing him; but it's not morally reprehensible for him to reason in that way.

Maybe you always share your car with a partner that's 25 centimeters shorter than you, requiring different settings for seat & steering weel position, and also has a different body composition that makes them want different climate control settings.

It shouldn't be so controversial to claim that automatic adjustment of settings is a net UX win this this common scenario.
You're assuming in claim A that your node knows about all abandoned chains. Like I said, that's impossible because nodes don't have total information. I'll simplify and strengthen my claim for you: it's impossible to find all reversed transactions.

The comment I was replying to claimed that transactions can never be reversed. I'm just highlighting how this represents a poor understanding of how Bitcoin really works.
So 3 minutes of every hour of rain were left unwiped? Sounds dangerous. Or was that "internet statistics"?
I've been using mu4e and thoroughly enjoying it. The HTML support is a bit wonky (or perhaps more accurately, HTML emails themselves are usually wonky), but most of the HTML mail I get is trash anyway. Combined with org-mode, I find it pretty slick.
TBH, the whole LGBT lobby included the pedo lobby back in the days. Why ? Because everything outside married sex was forbidden, so to fight one extreme another built up naturally, it was pretty much creationism (marriage is sacred and non-married sex is sin) vs. evolution (human is an animal like others and non-married sex is fine).

RMS just stated the same reason the whole LGBT lobby separated from the pedo lobby: there is evidence that child/adult relation causes significant psychological damage in the vast majority of cases.

People who, like me, were born after the sexual liberation, cannot understand why LGBT lobby sided with pedo lobby back in the days, without basic pol sci and historical context.

I don't think any of the more palatable audience-friendly "FOSS" luminaries are going to decline being flown business-class, and then ask for the price difference to be donated.

Open source opinion maker is a solid career path now, and will attract the sort of people interested in making careers.

rms has shown through example to be incorruptable. That's the only requirement, but it's hard to find. All the rest is nice-to-have.
By contrast, I know a number of people who have been raped by the police or whose family members have been murdered by the police. People in the US think that can't happen there. They are delusional.

Even for American's travelling to that country? Even for prostitution?
Don't worry. Traveling will be taboo in a few years when environmental disaster hits us all for real. It's already happening. People who keep flying will be frowned upon.
This. The 'working holiday' program offered by many countries is such a wonderful opportunity. It's a shame more don't take advantage of it.

The British call it a Gap Year, but it's common in many cultures (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa) to live abroad and travel for an extended period of time.
That last sentence is what caused the outrage in the wider public. It was amplified by the manipulative post of Selam Jie Gano and the media that parroted it, but his original claim did hit the nerve (that it shouldn't be called sexual assault if no physical force was used in the sexual act).

Just to clarify this position, do you believe that insecurity about physical appearance is the result of patriarchy and not a hundred thousand year genetic predisposition to find desirable mating partners for survival?

I'm insecure about my looks because I'm happier when I see attractive people and I know I can't give other people that happiness.

> To find old friends, and find that they’re gone

That line almost made me cry.
Very nice results that challenge the conventional wisdom. DNN can work with symbolic data and calculations. I think that, it says a lot about our poor theoretical understanding of deep neural networks despite all the practical advances.
> One could also make claim that choosing some ridiculous new pronoun is disrespectful of others.

Of course, but that hypothetical person who put forward this claim doesn't subscribe to the generally accepted definition of respect so I don't see why we should discuss that person.
I want to start by agreeing with you. It is true what you said about overclocking, chips that run cooler will be able to clock higher, and it is true that chips will disable sections of or even entire cores if they are un-used. So I don't know if you can measure this outside of validation setting. I think I have explained myself poorly so I will try again from a more technical perspective.

To drive the transistors in a chip you need to supply or sink enough charge so that the MOSFET will change state. The rate at which we can supply this charge places a fundamental limit on the switching speed of this transistor. Because until we overcome this charge requirement the transistor will not turn on/off.

Now the speed we can move this charge in and out of the input of the chip is governed by resistance. Higher resistance between VCC and the gate means it takes longer to over come the capacitance and change the state of the MOSFET.

Lets say for some given arbitrary Transistor its input capacitance is some 50pF , and lets also say our resistance to vcc is 10 ohm, then tao or the time constant is nothing but RC or 500 pico-seconds. In other words the maximum switching speed that we can see on the output is 1/tao or some 2Ghz. Now logic circuits are more than one transistor deep, and we can't reasonably run the circuit at exactly tao (Also at t=tao the gate is not exactly vcc it is ~.63vcc as this is an exponential function) and expect any level of signal integrity. But this tao is sort of a hard limit to switching speed as it is the time it takes the transistor to swap state.

In some sense low resistance is a boon. Low resistance means low tao, as tao is just RC. If tao is small than the transistor changes state more quickly. As a result for a given clock, the transistor has longer to overcome any inductance/capacitance present and is able to emit a cleaner signal.

But what lower resistance means is that you have higher power consumption as:
p=iv & v=ir -> P=V^2/R
So we see low resistance-> higher current. and higher current -> more power.

So we see it is a balancing act. We can have higher speeds or we can have lower power but not both. So if we are binning for a certain speed we are also binning for a certain power consumption characteristic. By selecting chips with speeds greater than XGhz we are also selecting chips with internal resistance < R.

Now what you said about over clocking is true. But because of an added twist.

Say we are binning a set of R that satisfy clk > XGhz. So naturally some subset of R will still be comfortably capable of XGhz while using less power than the average member of R. Now the chip has real limits to its capability to perform while hot. So this subset performs well as it is just low enough resistance to run a XGhz while limiting power use. On the high edge of the set R, we see chips that barely made XGhz and cant clock better. On the low edge of set R we see chips that are runing so hot as to barely maintain XGhz. So there is a sweet spot.
Why is that rational? If I go into the office and spend a day looking at cat pictures (which certainly makes me happier than attending the endless meetings) I get paid just as much.

Sure people come up with interesting business ideas all the time but they usually don't require innovative Web UI tech and can be built just fine with 10-year-old frameworks.

That depends on your definition of 'just fine'. I can develop a lot faster with fewer bugs today using React than I did using jQuery a decade ago. That means the apps I build cost less (or more commonly my clients get more functionality for their money). They seem think that's a really big improvement.
Well, I when through it for you.

There is an example on creating a bullet chart in Excel. It starts with bar chart, which simple and easy to do and read. It then go through many steps to abstract and obscure some the information, to get to a chart that the author find more appealing. I don’t. I think a bar chart as more space and is more zen, while his chart feels crowded. Unless you start with only 3 bars, in which case it looks fine and doesn’t obstruct any information.

> consumption numbers for some standardized workload

It would be nice if any of the synthetic benchmarks included "10 hours of power-on, with 7 hours of web browsing, 2 hours of CAD, and a bunch of just-plain-idle time". Of course the choice of OS and mobo would matter a lot here too, but...

...I think it's entirely valid that idle power is probably a large part of power consumption and it's wholly ignored by current benchmark techniques. TDP is great for sizing heatsinks, but maybe I want to estimate my power bill.

SilentPCReview used to do a lot of this work, since heat means fans means noise. They'd have a "recommended system" every few months, which was the current performance-per-watt champion combo of CPU+mobo. I'm sitting in front of my last build from their 2008-era recommendation right now. But they're mothballed and I don't think anyone else has taken up that particular torch to run with it.
I agree. Some people dismiss it as a joke, though.
> It's worth noting (again) that the age of consent at that time, in that place, was 16.

This is not a point I particularly care about, but it's worth pointing out that you are wrong, so far as I can tell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_Ameri...
Find me a comparable computer that:

- Ships with anything other than Windows (Linux, OSX, BSD, etc)

- Has a corporate warranty

You'll quickly find that Apple has this market cornered. To many people, you're not paying the extra money for the goodness of Apple. You're paying to avoid the badness of Windows. There's also some software that works on Macs, but not Linux machines that may be necessary for the job.
I’m confused. How are these things related to political undertones? Prejudice maybe, but are these more common amongst certain groups?

Wow that promo video is real cheesy and Debbie gets it cause she's fictional.

There's been a push for VR since the 90s. The mass public still doesn't get it or want it in terms of ever being something huge.

I believe things like Echo Frames will be a mass product while any VR stuff is and will always be a niche market. Maybe FB hopes differently as they've pushed this isolating yet supposedly social experience for awhile without any type of real adoption.
The Model 3 in Europe uses CCS and many (perhaps most) of the stations here in Norway already have CCS connectors.

Kik Messenger to Shut Down over fight with SEC
Just went for a 2x12-hour road trip, for the first time in a Tesla.

We had a total of two 20-minute charging stops on each (12-hour) leg, during which we ate a burger, took a toilet break and had a cup of coffee. When we were done, the car had enough charge to reach the next planned stop (in 4 hours) with 25% capacity to spare.

Absolutely zero worry about running out of energy, zero time standing still that we wouldn't be taking a break anyway.

All three of us were more rested when we arrived than when we took the same trip in an ICE car six months ago, due to a more quiet and comfortable ride with no engine vibrations. Notably, the trip was also faster.

IIRC the enuntiation of famous Razor, you must not introduce extra entities in a gratuitous and unnecessary way. And this is exactly what I find extrange: we don't know enough about how natural minds work yet, computers are still far from approximating the minds of simplest organism and yet there's people that says it's an impossible task. Come on! Observe first, start small, see where problems arise. What's the point in making up unknown physics for a problem that we don't have yet?
I found this comment in a similar local discussion, and it seemed to gain some traction instantly. Idk personally if its right or wrong, tbh, but maybe it is worth discussing in the light of recent events.

It is hard to choose to which comment to reply, so I’ll leave a general message to anyone who thinks that RMS resignation is good for a reason that was used for it and that one-sided mob rule is above all.

His comments were formally correct. You cannot beat logic. You can scream and jump through as many hysterical hoops as you want, stigmatize the dead, but you will not get any respect from a majority of thinking population. You will never win this war by shutting throats. It is a war on logic. You will be disliked on a basis of being a noisy moron. All you do now is to train more and more people’s habit to cover real intents and reimplement them in politically correct ways against you, as there is no more place to speak without your picky attention. This virtual noose you invented will finally tighten around your own neck.

As a research scientist, I can not tell you how many scientists seem to have watched a few TED talks too many and desperately try to be interesting, never actually telling me the essence of what they've done instead of some analogy or a pretty picture.

That being said, I don't disagree with you. The point is to know your audience and your goals. Trying to be interesting is great for a lay audience, as are long derivations for a seminar of your peers. Just don't confuse the two.
No, the author is saying the opposite.

Yes, and they claim that they got there through "hard work", which is totally unrelated to how hard they worked and just short for "I deserve it more than *".
Working Conditions at Facebook
Sure, but I bet Andrej Karpathy's team is using SOTA and mitigates most of the issues like the ones you mentioned. OK it's an "argument from authority" one might believe or not and I doubt they'd ever disclose things that make it work in their specific case. But realistically, if you e.g. observe results of real-time semantic segmentation, you see that surfaces flip a bit in each frame but mostly stay correct; you can e.g. use average IoU/coverage from past n frames to estimate what is going on. They have a fleet of cars driving around receiving more training data in all kinds of environments to handle various perceptual conditions as well.
All the protests against carbon taxes and other policies that avoid CO2 make me believe otherwise. For me the weird part is that those who fight against climate change seem to always be on the winning side.
