The post I replied to was talking about installing LOS on cheap phones. But LOS mostly doesn't exist on cheap phones, unless you want to do the work of porting it yourself. My post showed that for many people just building LOS from scratch may be a big challenge - I gave up even though my phone is already ported and has official builds available.
Yeah. I don't use any 32 bit software so I'm good there. Catalina has actually been the smoothest macOS upgrade I've had in awhile when it comes to all my 3rd party apps working. One annoyance was with some of my CLI programs (like Terraform) where I had to open them from the Finder right click -> open to get them marked as safe to run. That was expected though.
It's actually quite good now using Gnome with Wayland on Arch Linux (latest releases of the various components).

Only a few apps have given me trouble in recent times.
I'm using Keras from last 3 years. Most of the time where I have to deal with core TF code is when I have to write some custom layers. I totally agree on a part where hacking together TF code seems nightmare (well, initially.. but not once you know what you're doing), where PyTorch more looks like blissful experience (I have not tried PyT yet, just speaking from reading all these comments). I'm genuinely curious about how one can use the trained PyTorch models in production? For example, I got 6 TF based translation models + 1 classification model running on single AWS instance with TensorFlow Serving with 1 GPU and 8 CPU cores. These 7 models are deployed to take advantage of all the resources of this instance and everything runs smoothly. Now considering I got these same models in PyTorch, what are my options to do the same?
I would say their track record is still better but it’s hard to compare since some projects are more impactful than others.
even without the bond market signals, the “dissuade investment” argument for the capital gains rate fails miserably. capital wants to be invested if there’s even one dollar to be gained over any alternatives. and no, most rich americans won’t move to vietnam or whereever just to avoid those taxes.
If anyone from the team is reading, can you comment on how much code size this adds to iOS apps?

My argument would not be that it would dissuade investment, but rather limit the ability to achieve class mobility in the United States. It's near impossible to move up an economic class without investment. You can only get so far by saving alone (and it really isn't that far if you are fighting inflation without any return on that cash).

But now if you tax the hell out of that vehicle, then it limits the ability to move oneself up even further.

Everyone talks like it is only the rich that invest. This just isn't true.
I've done this with OpenVino and it works well enough. There are some gotchas with Onnx, some layers break or have weird bugs (upsample in particular used to be a problem).
Back when I was working full time - absolutely. The reduction in pay would be expected.

I suspect I'd be happiest with 2-3 days a week, with the rest of the time being put into education/personal projects (with a proportional paycut).
The characters are not actually stored as rasters though. There are up,down,left,right,intensify and end signals that control the beam and the logic and no more than 30 pulses per character. In fact, I took photos of the "ROM" earlier this year: https://imgur.com/a/QnFFkg6
If you're a large group of people tied together by something other than political ideology, it's to be expected that the only things they would reach consensus on would be topics where society has reached widespread consensus.

If every influential person in a large company agrees on a contentious issue like universal healthcare, that would suggest hiring is based on a litmus test around that issue. As much as I think we should have universal healthcare, I don't think support for that should be a requirement in the hiring process where I work.

So you end up with agreement only non-contentious issues. (Or sometimes stances that are beneficial to the specific corporation.)
I've been using Catalina as a daily driver since the first beta. I did notice some bugs here and there but I have to say my take away was different. I did get the barrage of permission prompts but it was just like that the one time and while it was a bit overwhelming it made me feel good that my OS was keeping tabs on these things. With Apple's emphasis on privacy they had to build these sort of controls into macOS to play catch up with iOS's features in this regard.

Also, I have hard time feeling sorry for someone who is upset that beta system software upset his working environment. Apple specifically says not to put their betas on critical hardware. The author said he did this because it was "simpler". Not sure if breaking your work environment is "simpler" than booting off an external SSD or having a second machine for testing.
There’s a difference between a golden path for a demo for a product that will ship in 6 month and a public release thats still very buggy.

And a public beta that will mess your files on other devices(!?)
What's wrong with paper straws? I've found they can't really be reused, but that's the point, as most plastic straws are used once and thrown away.
What I really liked about this article is near the end, where it identifies two things:

* Automatic differentiation of higher-order differentiation being important, and how there's clearly room to disrupt there

* Increasing hardware diversity seems to mean that both frameworks will run into a brick wall as-is

Exciting space. It'll be fascinating to see how dramatically, or not, things change in the coming years.
I had the same impression. That general feeling that the screensaver is like an app/overlay that is invoked only once the desktop is active. The speed of invocation also seemed related to how fast your machine is at launching general desktop programs...
> This is a raytracing engine contained in a single Mysql SELECT statement. In the beginning of the code there are a few parameters that can be modified. The scene can be specified using the @triangles and @squares parameters, but everything is explained in the comments. The whole query returns a bitmap file which can be written to the filesystem using the "INTO DUMPFILE" syntax at the end of the query, if mysql has filesystem write permissions.

> The raytracer supports shadows and reflections, which makes it, to my knowledge, the most advanced MySQL raytracer on the market right now.

Source of the said citation/evidence?

The burden is on Bloomberg to provide evidence. They didn’t mention this as a rumor or opinion but acted as if they have evidence proving their statements.

In fact, the person they used for their article later said that he was misquoted and even he didn’t believe it is the case: (Source: https://risky.biz/RB517_feature/)

Nobody found any evidence in any actual shipping hardware to prove any thing that Bloomberg has said.

As the result, nobody should trust anything Bloomberg says because they are basically making stuff up with no actual proof.
This comment breaks the site guidelines by being flamebait, by being snarky, by being unsubstantive, and probably other things too. Would you please not post like this to this site? We're trying for something a bit better than tedious internet ragewars, which is what posting like this leads to.

If What3Words wants to be ubiquitous, and relied on for things like navigation and emergency services, then it ought to be an open standard, with a published algorithm and open-source implementation.

I actually have been burnt by Flow so I agree with you, I don’t say that they have “the recipe”.

But my subjective point of view is: Google project = “Meh, this big opinionated framework will be probably be abandoned in 2years and all those poor folks who adopted it will have to rewrite everything”, while Facebook project = “Wow they just took the best of the state of the art, and packaged it in a simple reusable library that will be supported decently”.

Not a big fan of Facebook as a company, but as an open source contributor they are among the best in my book.

If you were to make a list, building the damn thing would probably come last. Go to the store on your favorite platform, search "The Qt Company" and try some of their demo apps.

It's all complete dog. Looks terrible, behaves worse. It's like Flutter except with 1/100th of the developer firepower to make sure it behaves natively.

My personal favorite is the input controls. They haven't freaking implemented copy and paste! It is all just beyond unusable.
I’ve gotten calls from my mom after she’s done a software update and had a bunch of things break. She’s more careful now, but I think the expectation set for the general public is that when someone announces an update is available, that it’s not going to be Beta.
I've been developing C++ for 10+ years.

I think the pain is unfairly attributed to Qt. A lot of the pain actually comes from the poor tooling in the C++ world.

Conan is supposed to come to the rescue, but after attempting to use it, it feels like it's still not as easy to use as any other package manager (npm, pypi, gems, etc). I love C++ and Qt, but It's extremely difficult to convince people to start any new projects in C++.

Common C/C++ questions and answers in stack overflow: how do I do x in C++ (e.g. trim whitespace), the usual responses:
1. It's trivial to implement, do it yourself.
2. Why would you want to do that.

Compare that to pulling up a library to do that, or it's already baked into the standard library (e.g. Java).
Uh, so what, this is tech.

I started making 6 figures a few weeks after my 18th birthday, over 20 years ago. I've worked with hundreds, if not thousands of people in their teens, or under 23, who made 6 figures. That's the industry, it's not even worth mentioning.

I don't think this feels like a bubble.
This is actually a pretty neat mechanism that builds a string (including BMP magic number and header) and shoves it into a dump file, doing a ray trace per byte. I wish there was a commented/not collapsed version of it to better enjoy reading. Right now it's just a blob.

Yes, it was horrible. Yes, it was reprehensible. No one is denying that. But let's not pretend that it was only the Southern states in the United States that engaged in it.

To assume that just because those states attempted secession over slavery that they'd also be sympathetic to the Axis powers is to deny them any sort of nuance. It also ignores that by that logic, all of the countries I mentioned earlier should also have been Axis powers.

So please, go argue semantics somewhere else.
I mean Windows 10 May 2019 release was "deemed safe" only at the end of September. It is no surprise. Companies push to meet deadlines which in turn results in buggy releases. It happens in video games quite a bit too where the full release is nothing more than a buggy beta for a few months.

I do care about high dpi but not in the way most people seem to mean: I want as much text as readable on a screen. One of the many reasons for not using Gnome everything is that it insists on making everything SO BIG with enormous amounts of wasted space around it. Those 1600x1200 pixels on my laptop or 1920x1280 on the monitor are there to be used, not wasted. Firefox used to be another offender in this respect albeit one which is easier to tame - just change layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to something sensible (0.7 works quite well), move all controls to the navigation bar and close all toolbars.
It does say a lot about someone's character. His house is listed so he probably thought he would not get permission. But since money is not an issue for him he thought "fuck it, I'll do what I want", and got away with it.
I have to disagree, I have learned from a lot of n00bs. I copied broken code and it didn't work, but it provided enough hints that I was able to make it work. I also posted back fixed code as comments on authors' blogs, and many would update their post with my code.

Same thing has happened on my blog, I have some super old Pentaho configuration posts, and every once in a while I get an email from someone saying my code is not right but they were able to make it work with some changes. Hence, I leave it up there.
Right, but it's something that technical users should have a clear path for overriding. SIP at least has a semi-clear path for disabling it (though I couldn't find any official documentation of it, only forum posts) but the read-only directory thing was definitely really hard to find.

How company should recover access to an online service if single user quits
Hi there, I'd appreciate an advice on user management

SaaS, multiple users per company account.

Scenario:
1. User creates a free account on behalf of his company.
2. A few months later she/he quits (or gets fired), her/his company email is blocked.
3. Someone from company wants to get access to this account.
4. Currently they have to get through support, to verify ownership, etc. This is time consuming and annoying.

How would you make account transferral easier?

I see the following options:

1. Make them recover employee's email internally, log as her/him, transfer account. (not very feasible for some companies)
2. Insist that user has to invite her/his coworkers as backup contacts
3. Require backup email address (like general info@ or support@) so anyone from company could recover access to their account through it.

Or is there any other option? What would you recommend?

Thanks!
The most likely way one becomes wealthy in America (class mobility) is through starting a business [1]. Treating investment income as income does not change that, when existing legislation promotes reinvesting profits from a business back into a business.

Things are so broken here at Apple. I joined about 4 years ago.

I am awed by the fact that we manage to release any software at all, let alone functional software.

The biggest problem is communication. No one fucking communicates.

- No communication between orgs. Tons of bureaucratic tape to cut through just to get a hand on someone working on a different product

- Barely any communication between teams. Literally every group of 4 people is in a little silo with no incentive to go outside it

- Broken management structure. I have had many managers (a red flag in itself) but even worse none of the managers take suggestions from engineers. Everything is purely top down. If an engineer realizes there is a problem on a macro scale they cannot fix it. It is literally impossible to unite more than 1.5 teams to get anything done.

- 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

- 10 different teams working on the same products and services. Zero unification means you are literally wasting developers and internally fragmenting every tool. Even worse, these teams compete for internal market domination

- Culture of secrecy means nothing gets fucking done. You file a bug report and you can’t even see it any more for some orgs

This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are fundamental and serious problems at Apple that no one in management gives a shit about solving. Any time engineers try to congregate or work on anything constructive with another team, they are shot down.

The only time I have seen cross-team developers working together has been to deal with critical bugs.

Because of the lack of communication, none of management’s goals align. They are all out of sync and poorly thought out. So year after year your manager has something they want you to implement but the feature for the year is bullshit because it makes no sense and is just there to pad the manager’s resume.

And you can’t speak out about this. Apple doesn’t take well to employees complaining. Even then, because of the lack of organization there is no one you could raise these issues with.

I've received tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) for the better part of 2 years following a significant traumatic brain injury.
