First, The Australian is checking the referrer. If you google for "Activists ‘distorting’ reef data" you will be able to view the article. It should be the first or second result.

Second, the link you provided is about bad media coverage, and Wattsupwiththat presented it in a biased manner. The reality is one Australian agency thought 22% of the reef died in 2016, and another thought that 35% died. The person in charge of the first agency took issue with the head of the other agency's language and some (poor) unrelated media reporting that grossly overstated the extent of the die off. He was completely correct to take issue with the poor reporting. But there is no dispute that 1/4-1/3 of the reef bleached that year. If you are interested, here is the publication from the 2nd agency, with methodology: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-04660-w

Notably, the scientist you are talking about, Dr. Reichelt, didn't disagree with the consensus. Quoting him, "This is a frightening enough story with the facts, you don’t need to dress them up. We don’t want to be seen as saying there is no ­problem out there but we do want people to understand there is a lot of the reef that is unscathed"

If it's of interest to you, https://www.aims.gov.au/reef-monitoring/gbr-condition-summar... is a great resource, and will show bleaching events and recovery in the various regions of the Great Barrier Reef.
Slightly OT, but Tup[1] handles this by sanitizing the environment and building in a FUSE filesystem to track reads and writes. It's bulletproof except for system header files (or more properly anything outside the root of your build, which usually is just system header files).

Nix[2] accomplishes bulletproof repeatable builds by sandboxing everything, but I don't believe incremental builds are a design goal (though if you modularize everything into different nix expressions you will in fact get annoyingly hard to use bulletproof incremental builds).

All the top architectures are not rotation-invariant. I think some of the blame lies in how successful CNNs are (as Hinton claims).

Over the years I've been surprised a number of times by seeing Apple hire a particular software engineer that I wouldn't hire for my own little company. You're still kinda junior @ 4 years there, but.. have you seen seen any slippage in hiring standards?
They did get BBR into the kernel though, and many moons ago BQL too which was a prerequisite.
No. Nothing of Freuds is actually testable. He asserts that there is a “conscious mind” and “subconscious mind” but only in concept.

You might as well try to build an alternative theory of mechanics based on an assertion that all objects have a conscious and subconscious mass, and that gravity actually act on the subconcious mass and only moves the whole because the two are interconnected.
1. It's difficult to safely discard people on the basis of their belonging to a certain set of protected classes, which does not include those accused of sexual misconduct. As soon as you have someone willing to issue a complaint you can't disprove, you're prepared to safely remove your enemies. There's a reason savvy managers never have private meetings with women.

2. It's magical that some guy exposed a "creep" Doing Very Bad Things by looking at his password he cracked. No witnesses complained, the victim had never complained, just from a distant computer we catch this faint whiff of something wrong in the strangest (invasive, aside) way and turn out to be a hero. Or maybe we just sent a weird password to HR, and they did the default thing and fired the guy for nuisance and liability, and years later we remember the justification that he must have deserved it because he's gone. (Details? Sorry, can't!) It's easier on the conscience, too.
Don’t forget the Quartz app as well
Those things that don't directly contribute to your role are still part of your job and you should be paid to do them. The onus should be on the company to streamline your processes so they don't waste everyones time.
Can we leverage torrents somehow to create distributed indices ?
Same behavior here with CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled set to 0 as well. Tried the old AppleFontSmoothing defaults hacks too, but those just make things look worse.

Perhaps there is some new defaults string in Catalina that can be set? It seems like CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled set to 0 still has some effect on Catalina, but it's not subjectively the same result as was the case on Mojave.
> Regarding whether iMessage is free from backdoors, Apple has given no reason for anyone to believe they are outright lying about the technical features of their software and hardware or their position regarding privacy.

Except if you live in China and have backups/storage on iCloud used by the various things you do with your iPhone.
I am lucky to have a Mac book pro 2012 ( yeah that one with all ports and stuff). So am perfectly protected from all the hardware issues from then.

What software issues ,oh boy.

at this point I don't even see your point of releasing a new OS every year.look at the windows yes I'm taking that example.

I honestly feel that if you let the developers to do their job, without the stringent yearly cycle they would do an incredible job and Mac will flourish.

Keeping a year-on-year cycle with incremental updates just for the sake of it, is really hurting Apple's image..
Migrating a 50K SLOC Flow and React Native App to TypeScript
The site doesn't allow me to select text when viewed on a phone. Which means that I'm done with the site right away.
I have a buddy who's an old Apple QA who tells me similar jaw dropping stories about the silos and secrecy. When I marvel how they can possibly ship all those wonderful products he says it's done through grueling brute force manual QA testing. Which also sounds insane but somehow it has mostly worked through the years. But maybe they're reaching the level of complexity where brute force manual testing is not scaling well enough.

The most common cases are people working 4 days every, or every other week. This seems to be popular with new parents.

I know of only one instance of a 3-day work week. The guy, a developer, is using the other days for graduate studies.
Yes let’s just base our policies on gross and highly inaccurate generalizations and then fix the remedy on a formula that confuses asset wealth with regular income.

Ps, I absolutely hated middle school.
Reminds me of an anecdote I heard about starting your own company. It's great, you're the boss. You can work half days if you want. You even get to choose which 12 hours that will be.
Most? I don't think so. But some small but significant fraction, perhaps 5% really are, and then they're able to get a good chunk of the rest of the herd to follow along with them.
The algorithm is absolutely trivial -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Grid_Reference_System

It's actually quite pleasant to use and allows you to just truncate to the level of precision you want. S/He just posted the 1m resolution string when 18-SU-J-216-044 would get you to 100m.

All this said, I think the real issue is that we refuse to PICK a standard and so every device with a GPS and ever map has one or two of

-MGRS

-UTM (almost identical to MGRS)

-LL DD MM' SS.ss"

-LL DD.dddd...

-LL DD MM.mmmm...'

etc.

If you make a device that can output or accept a location string, make sure it can handle all LL cases and UTM/MGRS.
I was bullied in school, and jiu jitsu feels like it's re-wiring my brain and erasing much of the damage (fear of conflict, especially with males).
The Long Now Foundation – Fostering Long-Term Thinking
My first thought exactly. Then I realized we actually have ever fewer solo games locally now...

The complain I hear most is that newer games don't even have a local multiplayer mode (we used to complain it didn't have online maybe 10 years ago...)

Besides I'm pretty sure you can fake 'local' using a point-to-point tunnel of sorts — it's just an IP, right? — whereas good luck to workaround online servers.
Judging purely from my own experience, I would say yes. I was a Solaris user from about 1995 until about 2000.

Around about 2000-2001, I bought a new computer with a large (for that time) hard drive that was (IIRC) about 30 gigs. I found that my Solaris x86 was not able to access the whole of that disk due to disk capacity limits in its configuration.

On the off chance, I also tried installing Linux. It had no problems at all in working with that large(!) disk.

(Note: I am trying to remember back roughly 20 years, I may have some numbers wrong.)

That was when I put my Solaris away, ending 10 years of using several commercial unices, and moving across to Linux.
I've seen statements (that I can't verify) that chip support doesn't exist yet for additional usb-c ports.

I guess negotiating the bandwidth and power delivery would be pretty complex
that's the whole point though. price can be highly decoupled from cost, which i'm positing is a signal of the magnitude of the distortions in a given market.

but to your question, you'd just "measure" price as the prevailing price that you see in the marketplace, and labor is measured as the aggregate cost of all labor inputs, including parts and raw materials and amortized capital costs. in a well-functioning market, you'd expect prices to trend with the labor value. the industry profit percentage would then be an reasonable expression of the riskiness of the market/industry (in drug discovery, it might be 50% but in grocery, it might be 5%).

so for example, if apple sells iphones for $1000 but it costs them $400 in labor to make and sell, their labor-price markup would be 250%. in a functioning competitive market, you'd expect a competitor like samsung to pursue those profits and, as a result, eventually drive prices down.
You may be referring to the document linked by 'Rebelgecko here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21217671. On page 17, I found the following quote from a chain of e-mails:

BPF is awesome. We build a full rust toolchain that targets it https://github.com/solana-labs/rust
We struggle to model individual proteins in full, and we think we can apply a comprehensive biological model to the mind?

I can say with confidence that the abstraction of chemistry in physiology is not watertight (is that a pun...?) and we still barely understand physiological chemistry in any kind of way that any self-respecting scientist could describe as rigorous.

The hubris of some people in their fields...
That chip is pretty expensive. At $6.46/ea (in production quantities) it's a lot more than most cheap microcontrollers.

For the hobby (/etsy/small-run-on-ebay) market there's also the fact that the average hobbyist doesn't have access to soldering equipment that is good at BGA parts.

I have a gen 6 and no issues. Is it a 7th gen? BTW what disto? Im on Fedora 30.

I would check that you have linux compat turned on in firmware and patch to latest firmware. Also running tlp helps depending on the distro. I get good bat life, mic works fine and no BT issues after sleep/wake.
The problem is highly processed meats, not necessarily meat in general.

A McDonald's hamburger is a good example of "meat" that would be good to limit.
It's supposed to go through their JIT first, so there's no Python running on embedded devices. Of course, this means if your model can't easily be made compatible with the JIT, you can't use PyTorch Mobile. But that's not surprising.
Leetcode is a disease. I know many people memories answers and test cases.
They can do it, in fact.
I find plus codes to be a much better alternative. w3w gives you no information about proximity as the three words to locate your next door neighbor will be completely different. Plus codes however can be extremely short when in a confined context and they will even give you an idea of how far north/south/east/west and distance away. Plus codes are far better for those reasons imo
I took one of the library provided on whatfreewords and included into my (work in progress) website as a conversion tool:

Convert coordinates location to 3 words : https://freews.org/location-to-w3w

I have no idea if it is useful or if it does break some copyright laws but I thought it could be fun :)
Kind of proves how ridiculous this regime is along with companies backing down over silly accusations.

As if being scared of Winnie the Pooh imagery isn't silly enough.
> Pretty sure USB-C headphones shouldn't be charged with a USB-C Macbook Pro wall charger.

Unless explicitly negotiated by both ends, every USB-C charger outputs the same boring 5 volts as classic USB, so the headphones should charge just fine.
this is not true on the 6th gen. I don't know about the 7th gen though... if it is true on 7th gen it would be a shame.

Although traditionally lenovo has done well with linux, I will say this is where Dell does this better - actually certifying and supporting some of its laptops on linux for devs.
A friend of mine from high school had a parent who worked on the F117A project and maybe the coolest mug I've ever seen. It was a mug that had an F117 fighter that would disappear when the mug got hot enough, with the engineering team skunkworks patch on the other side - man was it cool.
You can't build something that can compete with Google without some very very deep pockets and lot's of data.

Same problem with niche search engines, unless they have some unique features/properties that Google doesn't have you are plainly better off with Google.

Google has a Monopoly on search, which looking at the market will hold up for the foreseeable future.

So unless you can offer a specific feature(set) for a niche or you just want to build it for the hell of it I wouldn't reccomend anyone to go into search engines.

I would probably go with what duckduckgo does but offer unique features that are usefull for one or more niches.

This was for Computer Vision and NLP conferences, but would the same be true if AutoML were thrown into the mix? I care mostly about efficiency and optimization, and the author wasn't able to distinguish that Pytorch is any better or worse save the two anecdotes.

This sounds largely as I feared. The organization was built to serve the will of an omniscient god-king who knew better than anyone else. And now he's gone, and the organization is still set up to make orders trickle down from on high (despite no-one qualified or interested being there to make those calls) and hasn't learned make good decisions by communicating internally either. So the acolytes and high priests try to just keep doing what they were doing before god died.
I'm still a little amazed that the AI hype train is still running. That's been the fusion power of CS for almost as long as fusion power has been 30 years out.
Who would have imagined allowing a corporation in bed with authoritarian dictatorships control over what applications you're allowed to distribute or install could have negative consequences? Apple has undermined the safety of people in HK by using the ability of people to break the law using a legal application as a pretense.

I suppose it's great though because the app store is so convenient and relatively free of malware. You just have to use authoritarian state approved spyware such as WeChat that funnels your data into government servers.
I really hope machine learning will succeed in producing systems that surpass contemporary mathematicians in not only finding proofs, but also suggesting definitions and theorems to simplify a database of mathematics.
Apple hiring is independent per team. You can literally interview forever at apple and the way each team interviews is wildly variant. Had some pretty cool interview loops. I got rejected and then got an offer after interview 4 or 5 with a team on a high profile app that I really liked.

Apple doesn't give good offers although, so I took another one at a company / team I also really liked with a better offer.
The column version looks like it has less detail along the top of the plot, but I think that's a rendering bug with the moveTo version: there aren't any data points above 1.

I added code for gaps. The tight loop isn't disrupted that much; the number of interruptions is bounded by the x resolution.

Plus the "resolution" of the coast is limited by the size of humans.

The coastline paradox is much more of a measurement problem then a physical one.
The silver lining here is that a lot of people are thinking hard for the first time about what it means to give up the right to install whatever software you want on your own hardware.

A devil's bargain always seems like a good deal until the bill comes due.
A lot of art derives value from craft, but when craft is systematized, it becomes product design and targeted towards consumers instead. Demoscene folks have often crossed over to the industrial side of computer graphics and gaming.

A good proportion of the art-as-art world either finds new and original ways to push craft, or focuses on medium facilitating message(which in turn falls neatly into the product-marketing framework).
My understanding is that Apple doesn't ban GPLvX code - that doesn't mean other people won't write Apple and ask the app to be removed, claiming the app developer did not have proper copyright license.
So, as in many cases when scientists (or science writers) discuss the motivations of mammals with big brains, they go to a lot of effort to avoid the obvious conclusion, which is that the humpback did it for a similar reason to why a human might make a coyote lay off an attack on a raccoon or possum. We wouldn't always, but plenty of humans would, and it wouldn't be for any particularly abstract or intellectual reason, it's more like, "the coyote is being mean, make it stop because I can."

Sometimes, scientists remind me of mid-20th century behaviorists trying to explain human behavior.
Wouldn't blockchain make more sense? (Never thought I would say this but here we are)

Problem with torrents/blockchain in this case are twofold:

- unless there is enough people using it, it's slow

- since you are basically crowdsourcing you need to create an enticing incentive which works for everyone involved
Yes, it is so solid and also easy to customize for keyboard navigation, etc.

Short answer: no, same thing

Original bpf is a much simpler bytecode. Ebpf extended it and made it essentially x86_64 assembly (semantically). Then we all decided to call ebpf bpf for reasons.
I don't think you could easily do that with 3 words. They already have a dictionary 40000 deep and then end up repeating words, just to get to get enough combinations.

With the GeohashPhrase we intentionally telescope exactly like you've described. This is because all we do is encode a geohash, and it already has this property.
You mean it's my "tech literacy" (category) that is part of my identity, and I'm merely specifying my colors (property) within that category. Gotcha, agreed. Thanks for this insight!

I think the inability to upstream changes into Windows and (ironically) old versions of Android are bigger motivations for using UDP.
ADriving School Luton
Because clearly GitHub thinks there's something wrong with what ICE is doing: they're donating more than the revenue of the contract to anti-ICE organizations, they're suing ICE, etc. Why should they do any of that, if ICE is simply doing an important and difficult job?

Again, I am not asking about your opinion of ICE, or mine - I am asking about ethical frameworks in general, and GitHub's opinion. What is the ethical framework under which GitHub decided to offset the value of their contract?
> While nothing's perfect, Windows is in a really good place at the moment.

Sure, minus the fact that my Windows box would be _spying on me_ if I wasn't a very technically capable person. That's a non-trivial driver for a lot of folks when they decide to pick Apple products. Or, at least, it was until recently with the iCloud / China debacle.
Suspend/hibernate works on thinkpads with a moderately recent Linux kernel and a bios toggle.
> - So what happens is that you’re working on a product that’s part of another product but you never talked to any other teams or orgs on how to make your product fit in

I'm surprised to read this, because I've always thought tight integration and clever synergies between product lines were precisely one of the things Apple excelled at.

And I was wondering how exactly they managed to make that happen in such a famously secretive organization, where very few people have the 10.000 feet view required to come up with these ideas.

How do you make Mac Catalyst or Sidecar happen with 4 people silos who hardly ever meet and adjust ? How do you redesign the iOS photos app to the capabilities of the new hardware, in a way that will make sense once software+hardware become a product ? How do pictures of unreleased Airpods end up in recent iOS beta releases ? I mean, at some point you've got to make these things work together, and one decision on one side that's oblivious to the other side's constraints might make things impossible to them, and they'll want to push back. This is how "normal" companies function.

One more example, not something especially clever but more something that would have been a huge bummer if it hadn't happened : it seems like the Pro Display XDR has charging capabilities way beyond what any current Apple device might require, and it's speculated that it's for the upcoming 16" MBP : https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/04/16-inch-macbook-pro-96w...

Again, how do you even achieve that if people don't communicate ?
Through extremely well defined internal interfaces and specs ?
