> But what if LinkedIn collects facts (where you work, your age, etc.), wouldn't that be covered by sui generis property right (better known as database copyright)?

I don't think so.

> Under the Copyright Act, a compilation is defined as a "collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data that are selected in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship." 17. U.S.C. § 101 [1]

The thing is, LinkedIn is not authoring the compilation. The individual users are.

I'd guess lots of visitors to that site use VPNs or Tor, and that the site gets targeted by some malicious traffic. The captcha may keep some of the automated malicious traffic out.

Probably annoying for the users though?

The New Yorker has a famously idiosyncratic style guide that calls for diaresis to be explicitly marked (in words like e.g. coöperate). This is pretty interesting though because it seems to indicate that the pronunciation has shifted - nobody would pronounce "aero" with a diaresis today.
Electric cars have many negative externalities too, tires, brake dust and such don't magically disappear due to the change from Gas to Electric. Even my bicycle produces a surprising amount of brake dust!

I don't think impurity is what I'm complaining about. What I preferred was when most of the people defining written English by their usage were more of an elite. It's not about who those people were or how exactly they used language, just that they read a broad variety of published material and not just contemporary communications.
I find my brain shuts down during interviews. There's also a bunch of misdirection, multiple times I've been told "we're not going to do any whiteboarding" only to be handed a whiteboard marker.

Is it a problem that students don't know abstraction layers lower than they regularly use, or that we're collectively climbing up the abstraction ladder as the years go by? I'm a full generation older than these students, and most of my colleagues can't read or write assembly language. I've worked with programmers who have never even written a compiler, database, or central processor.

I'd say we're seeing that filesystems weren't a great user experience, at least the way they've been implemented in the past, and I'd place the blame on the other side. The design of computer systems today isn't the only possible way to design them. They exist to serve users. If our old systems aren't well-liked by users, and we spend all our efforts hiding their inherent design so people can actually use them, maybe our foundation is wrong.

Even the most technical people in the world have been trying to replace our filesystems with object databases for a few decades now, and plenty of people use only "services" (database in the cloud) or "apps" (database on phone). Isn't it possible filesystems have outlived their usefulness? For a lot of people, they really only exist to boot the OS.

Computer science students need to learn about filesystems and C and Unix, sure, like cooks and carpenters need to learn US customary units.
I think its important to stress on this part:

> and meet them half way?

In other words, OP is not suggesting that you force students to use another method, but work with them to understand what makes sense to them. In your specific anecdote, if the teacher showed the students how to share hyperlinks, or how to get text dumps and share them instead of screenshots, maybe they would respect her for that.
I use the oven with the light on method. Works pretty well for me.
Just ban all ads and be done with it. Really don't understand why it's taking us (collectively) so long to get there.
I should also mention you can just as easily run these on CPU-backed instances as well. The GPU is not a hard requirement.

As for checkpointing data, that is still a relatively difficult problem to solve and our current recommendation is to use a combination of the persitent /storage directory and the notebook home directory. There are definitely issues with doing 100K+ of small files and committing those to the primary docker layer.

When you get to testing it out don't hesitate to reach out to use and we can try to see what the best solution is for your particular project. To date there isn't a "one size fits all" solution but we are working hard on making more intelligent choices behind the scenes to unblock some of these IO constraints.
You don’t have to pay to hide that you viewed someone’s profile. Maybe if you want to see who viewed yours, but also keep your browsing private — but it seems more reasonable to charge for that sort of functionality.
If you want the quiet syntax of CoffeeScript and even better type safety than TypeScript, you might be interested in Elm.

Flour Water Salt Yeast is amazing. Transformed my view and understanding of bread.
It’s a common abbreviation. I don’t know how you’ve worked in computing of any sort for decades without coming across it.
the only requirement on a hashable instance is that it implements a proper __hash__ function. The default implementation in CPython returns the address of the memory the object is stored at, so all instances are considered unique, values play no role at all.
Firefox downloads a big blob of unsafe URLs and checks against that, last I saw.
Yep. You can take MPS today and implement an AST projection that looks like whatever you want. No parsing involved, impossible to even write syntactically invalid code (since it is not code you're writing, but an AST projection).
Nah, organ recipients are usually people with chronic illnesses rather than people who survived traumatic accidents.
It has stax, which is a minimal example of how to build a high level library: https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/s...

It seems that the JAX developers are focusing their time on making the core framework better and are leaving the task of building high-level APIs to the community for now.
I suspect we'll see a few high-level APIs emerge over the next few months that explore different approaches before the community settles on a particular one.
For me, it’s hard to find markets with salmon/steak as fresh as those found in costco.
It is specifically, exactly, too late to wait for that. Did you not look at the graph?

I'm all for continued and increased R&D funding, but the best case scenario for SMRs is they help us with the back half of the transition (2035 - 2050) not the front half (2020 - 2035).

Anything more optimist than that is simply denying the science (see ipcc report again).
"Bribing communities" or "being socially responsible and improving lives of people around"?
I don't need to compress anything either, but zips/rars are good for getting around other types of limitations. For example, splitting a collection of files into chunks to send one by one or to increase copy speed. As an example, my archive of downloaded comics takes well over an hour to copy onto a drive as file folders, but as a single archive file it takes only a few minutes and I can unzip it on whatever device I'm putting it on.
No. Maintain, and let the previous owners pay for their own liabilities.
Yes, in the 9th Circuit (western US) this is binding precedent. Elsewhere it can be cited but is not binding.
Any decent sized Erlang project is implemented this way. Also see Smalltalk, Akka, and the like.

Since you're focusing on "normal" rich people: One of my best friends is smart but was extremely unwise when he was young.

Did a lot of drugs, didn't pay attention in uni, didn't work, didn't build the habits of a successful person. Still, he got one chance after another, and in his late 20s he actually did. From what he told me, realizing how insanely privileged he is was one of the major influences for him to change.

But still, a normal person would have been long out of chances at that point, and would fight serious debt and worklessness without any support.

You maybe cannot afford to be a total wanker forever as a rich person, but you certainly have a lot more leeway in your wankiness.
Me neither, the wording is referring to the license to display the content rather than the content itself. I couldn’t go back and check all social posts, newsletters, quoted messages etc. every time somebody edits a post or changes their avatar, for example.

I think I can do more to guarantee certain rights with regards to a users content though and will get some advice on communicating that.

Thank you!
This is not true any more. I can go to a music blog on my iPhone, download a zip of an album to my phone using the Safari download manager, unzip it in place with the core iOS file manager, move the resulting folder into the media library folder for my music player app, and play it on my device.

I can later open up the iOS file manager and find the mp3 for my new favourite song in my music player's folder, click Share and send the file to my friend on Telegram or whatever.

iPhones are pretty reasonable piracy tools now.

The Intel vulnerabilities are a matter of national security across the world. If you can use a known exploit to take complete root access at a hardware level, just by running some Network requests on the local network - imagine what a foreign government could do if they wanted.
LinkedIn has played a very poor strategy here. The value of the service should be in the network, which is quite defensible. Instead, they’ve made the value in the profiles, which is not defensible. Few people curate their network on LinkedIn because you can't see profiles unless you are closely connected, so you are incentivized to add as many people as possible, thus devaluing the entire network. Then they go and sell unlimited access to profiles to recruiters and sales people. Thus, when other services come around and scrape their data, which LinkedIn needs to make somewhat publicly available for SEO juice, it becomes an existential threat.

If you look at Facebook, there is some limited profile data publicly available, but they will go to the wall to prevent people from seeing how those people are connected. In addition, they started from a very walled-off position, so they didn't become reliant on SEO traffic.
Sharing free GPUs is amazing! GPU costs are such a huge blocker for people learning deep learning.

But as a cloud provider, I would be worried about abuse by cryptojackers. I hope that's not a problem and this is sustainable.
This is only one of the APIs. Full doc at:

Yea, I have been following Monzo for some time. My understanding is that they originally had big plans for their API, but pulled back on development of it as they got more popular. It looks like it still has a lot of restrictions.
Many ovens have proof settings but they are basically just turning the light on and maybe running the circulator fan. That’s basically all I’ve needed for the minority of recipes I use that kinda require that. Most recipes don’t need anything other than time and a moderately temperatured kitchen, like the difference between 72°F and 80°F for most recipes just means a little extra time at the lower temperature.

Basically what I’m saying is don’t buy a fancy proofing set up, maybe use the oven with the light bulb on, but probably just make sure you leave good time / wake up earlier ;-).
Noria: Data-flow for high-performance web applications
> we do not even know where our data is anymore, how much we need, or how long it takes to transfer it. But until we have much more bandwidth and storage, there will be problems.

I'd argue the problems will only start when there's enough bandwidth. That's when companies will be able to fully transparently store everything remotely and that's when people will really get screwed. Because if Google locks down your access for TOS "violation" then even having a needy friend will not bring back fully remote data.

FOSDEM 2020 – Accepted developer rooms
Interestingly the food industry has perverse incentives ... because humans have a maximum limit of food eaten during the day, big companies like Coca Cola can only grow by encouraging people to eat more.

Since the more people eat, the more they spend on food, the more revenue generated.

Therefore food companies are incentivized to produce highly palatable food that trick the brain into overeating. One common strategy is to combine sugar with fat (think donuts), bonus points if it has caffeine too (chocolate with milk). Such combinations are not very natural. You won't find in nature foods that are high in both sugar and fat. And this kind of processing matters. Think of the difference between cocoa leaves and crack cocaine.

And now that we have an obesity problem, the same companies also sell products for diabetics, or diet products with "zero calories" that are highly processed and may contain substances that are damaging to our gut or general health. It's very profitable to create a problem and then to provide the solution too.

And unfortunately you won't see ads for whole foods.

But you will see whole foods vilified periodically (e.g. starchy plants, meat, etc), with ingenuous food companies jumping to the rescue with highly processed stuff. The ongoing race for "fake meat" makes me cringe.
Most of the times I am good at guessing other people's age. With Kipchoge I was really confused!
His voice, his face his move. He looks older than me (37) and now it's probably getting clear.
But still I am not surprised. Maybe you get older and you loose some aerobic capacity but your are getting more experienced and the body more immune to injuries!
“Idiocracy” doesn’t appear in my dictionary, how did you come to know what it means?
> I'm looking forward to self-driving electrics. You hop in the car, it takes you to your destination, and then you hop out. At off-peak hours they drive themselves to a car farm far away from the city, and recharge. The car service handles all maintenance.

I really think that you're being overly optimistic about this. Kind of like people were about the cloud 10 years ago. There is going to be all sorts of new bullshit that you can't even imagine. I bet there will be surge blackout periods, where only rich people can travel. This will only trend worse over time, to the point where poor people are less mobile than they were when they could own cars. And you might have to subscribe to different car fleets, and will get screwed a bunch of different ways that way too.

> There's this phenomena where anything invented before you turn 10 is just part of the natural order of things, anything between 10 and 30 is a great new opportunity that you might be able to make a career in, and anything invented over 30 is a threat to the natural order of things that must be resisted at all costs. I've put a lot of work into maintaining the ability to see change as opportunity past the age of 30. I suspect that most of this site is just hitting that demographic where new things become offenses against the natural order of things, though, and that's why we see such resistance to things like self-driving cars and cryptocurrency.

I try not to be a luddite. But I think you are discounting how people with more wisdom can see how things have degraded over time. Obviously those in power have a vested interest in you believing that things are only getting better. Phone manufacturers don't want to remind you of the days of headphone jacks and user swappable batteries.
Very cool, thanks. Do you know if they operate in the United States?
YMMV, but I’m less worried about “clean and fun” and much more worried about rugged and correct. TypeScript makes it easier to unambiguously express intent both inside an application and when talking to external modules. Some parts of the syntax are unfortunate but I care about that a lot less than I do not having my systems break.

I’d switch and I wouldn’t look back. I did switch my focus of learning and use, albeit from Ruby and Kotlin (which is better than nothing but nominative typing is insufficient IMO) to TypeScript, and it was among the best decisions I’ve made in my professional career.
Have you figured out, too, why this gives different results? I can easily imagine that it would affect rounding somewhere, but if so, neither of the numbers in the abstract (172,4, 172,7, 173,2, and again 173,2) is incorrect, and the relatively large range point towards numerical instability of the algorithm.

Secondly, I would guess the reported difference between Mac OS Mavericks and Mac OS Mojave is because they tested on a Fusion Drive (I would expect the filesystem to cause the difference, and that changed with High Sierra, except for Fusion Drives, where it changed with Mojave)

Can confirm, I have been using an old processor in my T430 for a couple years and it works great, even when compiling Rust projects. battery life is terrible, though. So I have a Pinebook Pro coming in, hopefully there are no ARM-related headaches but even with some large papercuts I think it will be an improvement for usability.
I'm not certain, but it kind of sounds like even things behind a login are still scrapable. Assuming the general public can get a login easily anyway. Basically, just requiring an account is not enough to forbid scraping.

I think you're reading too much into conspiracy theories. That can be fun and all but I can assure you these things are emergent and not some concerted effort to keep wages lower.

The Steve Jobs market manipulation was def a dick move, but.. well, its Steve Jobs. There will be other such efforts too, but that alone doesn't indicate the kind of concerted market manipulation that you think exists.

The emphasis on coding is similar to the emphasis on schooling and mathematics at the dawn of the industrial revolution: societies realized then that basic mathematical literacy can be immensely beneficial to people. And we understand today that basic programming skills can have a similar transformative effect.

Jobs in tech are increasing at a tremendous rate. As we shift to more automation, the demand for computer literacy will only increase.
I was very confused when I clicked the link, spent a while looking for the full video.
Economic clout or greed? "We've pretty much saturated western markets and China is the only market left to make more money even though we're doing just fine"? Pretty much all of the companies bending the knee don't need the money.
No. "Z raku" would mean that "raku" accompanies you and the play on words would be gone because it would be either "programuje z raku" ("one is accompanied by raku the programming language") or "programuje z rakiem" ("codes having/with cancer").
No. Everything we see advertised is crap. All of it. The more it's advertised the worse the product.

Just a word of warning on Drive in particular. I received this notice the other day when trying to download one of my files from Drive:

--

Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time.

Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please try accessing the file again later. If the file you are trying to access is particularly large or is shared with many people, it may take up to 24 hours to be able to view or download the file. If you still can't access a file after 24 hours, contact your domain administrator.

--

Note that this was my own file. I was the creator and I was the only downloader.

So, I guess I really didn't own it after all. That's the position that I'm going to have to recommend to anyone using any "cloud" service. If it's in the cloud, you don't own it. If you really care about it, back it up, and test your restores. Your cloud storage can disappear on a whim.

It seems to me that this is the clear trend. MacOS is increasingly “mobilizing” and Microsoft has already moved to a Windows-as-a-Service [0]. The only sane desktop/workstation choice is Linux and the rift grows wider every year. As the number of use cases for a workstation OS continue to diminish and the big players stop catering to that market segment, sooner or later we’ll reach the fabled Year of the Linux Desktop!
