Sufficient but not necessary (I do understand that running a profitable food establishment is extremely difficult).

Establishments also do the following to encourage turnover:

- Buy uncomfortable tables/chairs

- Set higher prices for sitting down at a table vs standing at the bar (or eating in vs takeaway)

- Not bring you the dessert menu, hoping you'll get up and leave

Loud music is cheap, easy and proven, so I can see why it's popular
> The predictions of the time assumed that Internet was there forever. Very soon a dramatic landscape shift happened with the release of the iPhone. We are not living in a purely Internet era anymore, and all the surviving Internet megacorps have managed to embrace the shift (Google, even Facebook with its Messenger), and those who haven't are dead (Yahoo, and probably more to come).

Kindly, it seems you're a little confused about what the internet is.

What makes this different than Alpine?
Usually I am for freedom to do anything you want as long as it does not impact other people.

I am OK though with banning ads for sugary drinks because society pays a high medical cost for damage due to excess sugar addiction/use.

This is like forcing motor cycle riders to wear helmets.

BTW, I worked in Singapore for a while in 2016. Wonderful place! People just seemed happy there, from business people to laborers. If I were younger I might consider moving there for permanent work.
Nobody said it does.
There's a third kind of person - one who doesn't want their personal data beholden to a bunch of faceless for-profit companies who have proven they care less about security and privacy than they do about money.

I don't self host a lot of services (and the ones that do could go away tomorrow without hurting me much) but I only have one cloud resource - email. It kind of has to be that way for various reasons; I'd self host if I could reasonably do so. I also think I value my $75/mo more than I value an endless stream of entertainment.

(edit: just wanted to say, thanks for posting this. It is a valuable discussion point.)
I recall seeing Kim Peek many times in the old downtown Salt Lake City library in the late 80s. I always saw him camped out at some table near the reference section under the escalators on the main floor. He would usually have a stack of phone books (The White Pages) from around the country and spend hours methodically scanning and memorizing every page.
Because people clean it constantly. I still find it amazing how many people I see cleaning when I'm in Tokyo. I was in a store mid-morning and a man was vacuuming. I walked by again in the afternoon and I noticed he was vacuuming again. In the west, that happens once/day after the store closes. There it was continuous. But nothing blew my mind more than when I was on a dirt walking trail and there was a man sweeping twigs and leaves off the trail.

As much as that surprised me, it also kind of didn't because there are people working everywhere on everything all the time. The number of concrete mixers driving around was amazing. Infrastructure is never finished and always seems to be well funded. I feel kind of embarrassed when I see Japanese people visiting my city, like they've come to some kind of pioneer town with our litter everywhere, far too many cars for the available roads and with our laughably inadequate public transit infrastructure.
Even if it does reduce throughput, which from what I've seen comes in waves (after disembarking a train), the people who are okay standing there get to stand without being pushed, while those that are in a hurry get to hurry without pushing. Not everything has to be at max efficiency all the time, sometimes the optimal solution is relative.

So you agree it’s ambiguous and one cannot formally deduce the meaning of the expression without making assumptions. One must assume that objects that don’t fit the definition of list can be substituted in for lists within some contexts (but not all).

Beyond that, dotted lists are introduced via the undefined example (a b . c), which requires one to go even further and make a second assumption (namely, assume the intention was to refer to (a . (b . c)), then assume the quoted transformation rule applies to certain non-lists allowing that to be rewritten as (a b . c)).
Pretty easy to get access to the ‘secrets’ this way.
If you can use Nuke you can make a composit script that can take command line arguments, which makes it very easy to automate.

I do use Cloudflare’s DNS but I’ll admit I don’t know much/anything about how it really works... can you explain why the DNS server would matter here?

Somewhat related, I have made a deal with the devil and use Comcast and, until yesterday, I was using their combo modem/router. Comcast doesn’t let you change the router’s DNS settings (which are, of course, set to Comcast servers) but I was under the impression that the DNS settings closest to the client always prevailed. But fiddling around with WireShark yesterday I could clearly see my DNS requests going to 75.75.75.75 (Comcast) even though my laptop was set to use CloudFlare. Is that even possible? Could the router have been set by Comcast to somehow override my settings or to intercept & reroute DNS requests?
In Romania there's an ISP with a 300 / 150 Mbps plan is 6.3 EUR/mo and a 940 / 450 Mbps plan for 8.4 EUR/mo. They also have phone plans similarly dirt-cheap (from 2 EUR/mo).
No. We have 7 days in a week.
> If we just ground up your loved ones on death and turned them into fertilizer or corn feed for cows you might have a very dim view about life.

What is the flow of reasoning here? What does “dim view about life” mean?
The article just felt...unjustifiably alarmist to me.

Most non-technical people I know cannot manage files even after decades of computing experience. I understand why many services try to abstract or simplify the concept.

For example, Google or Apple is processing the crap out of your email attachment image because they know you don’t understand the idea that trying to send five 10MB photos likely will not fit in an email. All you want to do is send your photos to Grandma. So instead your iDevice handles it for you and either compresses them or throws them in a temporary cloud storage location with a link. Grandma gets her photos - for most people the alternative is a confusing mail delivery bounce followed by frustration.

Apple added Stacks to the desktop because everyone’s tired of seeing other people’s computers with a mess of icons smashed together on the desktop, because that’s the only place files could be conceivably stored in the mind of a non-technical user. The whole idea of a file hierarchy seems either too confusing or too labor intensive to that type of user.

Nerds like us always have and had options. We are aware and capable of coming up with a more friendly solution to us, like a home built NAS or Synology box; ask a non-technical user what those are and be met with a blank stare.

For most people, they really should be paying someone else to maintain their data, iCloud, Google or whatever. Nobody’s home back up scheme can match what these companies are doing in their data centers. And no, these services don’t just delete your data immediately after your monthly payment method bounces - you are given time and nags to download your data or renew, often your data just becomes download-only.

Are we annoyed that most options are not for us, or have to be in a form of a workaround to a technology stack that’s marketed to non-technical people? Maybe. It would be wonderful if there was a device as nice as an iPad that also gave us full access like a Linux PC.

But also, nobody’s forcing us in 2019 to stop using our files as we did in 1999. We didn’t have all these services back then. File management was the option. It is still an option.

And in 2019, Apple finally adds mass storage support to the iPad. Sometimes things come around.
Better to donate directly to causes you support or through places like Kiva.org (yeah, I know they have their issues too, but still better than Amazon).

Come on that’s not a sensible thing to expect from a non-specialist device, is it? I’m not sure this is a reasonable criticism.
I live in Japan as well.

Hiking.. have you actually hiked anywhere in else in the world? Most places you can fill a garbage bag in an hour just walking on a trail. Took my climbing friends from Canada on a long Hike in Kita Alps, they brought a garbage bag as they always do to gather other peoples trash. We managed to find 2 empty water bottles in 3 days having covered close to 50km. See the campsites near huts after people leave in the morning they are EMPTY.

Try camping at a car camp sites.. now compare that to the clusterfuck of drunks, blaring music, trash, puke piss, shit that you get in NA. Went to Ishikawa for a week this summer camped by the sea, huge camp site tons of people actually very nice. Same thing in US? God fucking help you. This is why they actually don’t have assigned lots for tents, in Canada people would get killed every long weekend if anyone was dumb to try that(car camping)

Of course there is garbage in cities in some places but compared to vast majority of the world it is clean. They actually clean public toilets.. it is a miracle.
Online banking was more secure on the desktop, IMO. Printed OTP and login/password versus the current PIN-only system my bank has inexplicably switched to for their mobile app.
Osaka holds a strange place in Japanese culture. It is considered distinctly “un-Japanese,” but still at the same time is famous for producing all kinds of creative types (comedians, musicians, artists). And its accent is generally considered charming, if “inappropriate” for formal discourse.

As an American, I’ve always felt more comfortable there because it’s way less uptight and rule-bound than other parts of Japan.
Athlon? I'm surprised to see that AMD is still using that brand name.
I forgot that! Once he started to recognize his name I printed several toys with his name on them. Like, a dinosaur off thingiverse with “Steve” in raised letters on his belly.

As an open-source alternative to typora I can suggest Marktext https://github.com/marktext/marktext which I believe is on par with typora features. Don't be alarmed by the fact that it's electron, it's pretty fast either way. And as far as I know typora is electron based too.

The vision for the product is for you to be able to do everything you just described, and still have the files available for sharing and publishing through the cloud. Note, that doesn't mean stored in the cloud, unless that's what the user wants.
Through the sheer force of repeated ignorance we change the language?
What if I don't have a smartphone or don't or can't install the app to make direct payment? I personally would not use online payment if I am in store. Privacy concerns aside,inserting a card is easier for me compared to unlocking my phone,opening an app and doing whatever is needed to confirm the price abd approve payment. That said,I am sure there are a lot of people that wouldn't mind who have "nothing to hide" and find physical cards inconvenient. This is already being done in east Asian countries.

You will still need a card reader in the US unless you wanna go all dystopian like China by forcing everyone to use an app which will be tied to your phone number and other accounts.

I would however challenge you to do this in a privacy conserving way, if you can get around anti-money laundering laws. The last thing I need is yet another app and company tracking my purchase history and promising they don't share it with a third party while sharing processed versions of it. Ymmv.
GoCD provides “fan in” which supports monorepos

https://docs.gocd.org/current/advanced_usage/fan_in.html
I wonder if that's because so many other things are super quiet. The trains seem whisper quiet compared to our trains in the west. The elevators, when they're not talking, are silent. Everything seems to be perfectly lubricated and maintained to the point where things that seem loud maybe only seem loud because they're not silent?
Monorepos with Git don't play together nicely. Perforce is key if you have lots of devs on a monorepo.
The project grew organically.
Evolution was something like:

1. Let's build a framework for model based RL, we can start by implementing the PETS paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.12114)

2. It sure does have a lot of degrees of flexibility, and the PETS reference implementation is full of hard coded configuration. It would be nice to be able to combine configuration files somehow and override them from the command line.

3. Looking around, I didn't find anything that was quiet what I was after so I created OmegaConf (https://github.com/omry/omegaconf)

4. Building the framework, I evolved my understanding of what composing configuration actually means, and added additional features as I needed them.

5. The MBRL framework became really nice and useful, but was still primarily an implementation of PETS. I tried to make it a bit more generic to allow others in my team to use it for other things, and realized the better thing to do is to go for something totally generic and make it a standalone package, Thus Hydra was born.

It evolved into what you see today, and it was almost exclusively my work - so at no point did I have the cycles to really support development in other languages.

One of the challenges is to convince people that it's useful, It can do many things as some people point out and people can get uneasy because of that.
For Hydra to succeed, people should be using it, there is no point in spending years building something no one would use.
ML, which is where Hydra grew from is dominated by Python today, That's why Python is the first implementation.

Building Hydra in another language is possible, especially now that there is a reference implementation, but it's a lot of work.
If you are interested in trying it out I would be happy to discuss and advise.
That’s a bit disheartening. OWASP isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely a step up the ladder for the kind of teams that aren’t using HTTPS, and storing passwords in plain text. Having an official set of fairly specific instructions helps move the discussion away from the subjective “single quotes are more secure than double quotes” type discussions.
Housing market flashing recession signal
> all culture, raging over us, for $12.99 a month (or $15.99 for HD) as long as we keep up our payments like good economic entities. When we stop paying, we’re left with nothing. No files. The service is revoked.

This is the most frightening thing for me... by far: the concept that I no longer have control of the destiny of my own shit. Mine. Stuff I created.

I understand the concept of how cloud storage works: "hey, we'll look after it for you, back it up and stuff, and all you need to do it pay us a small monthly fee".

Makes sense.

But add to that fact that if you stop paying they'll keep you from your stuff. Also if they don't like you for practically any reason they'll keep you from your stuff. Or if they suffer a huge data loss they'll claim that the T's and C's protect them and they'll still keep you from your stuff.

What the hell are we sleep-walking into here?

Caveat: I'm a tech. I have a local copy, a local backup (that I rotate on an ad-hoc basis with the other HD at my mum and dads house) and an offsite cloud-backup (using Sync) so I'm covered but this stuff isn't aimed at me, it's aimed at my mum and my non-tech friends who just think "hey, it's <mega-corp>. They've got thousands of people and loads of equipment and they know what they're doing!"

They sure do!
childish troll attempt
That’s quite naive...

I am sure you could write stuff like Diffentiable Processors or the like from scratch with numpy but if you respect yourself and your time, you won’t. Complicated architectures are orders of magnitude harder than writing feed forward networks from scratch. For example, see the Merlin paper.
Freaking cool! 1um might seem a lot for today industry standards if we think modern processors and peripherals, still more than adequate for analog stuff (opamps, regulators, matched transistor pairs, VCOs and VCAs, simple glue logic etc.).
People have looked. There are some candidates that have not been ruled out, but are not particularly promising. Do a Google Scholar Search for "IRAS dyson spheres" and you'll get oodles of papers describing attempts, new places we might look (I recall one suggesting they might all be surrounding the galaxy's central blackhole), current theoretical limits of our ability to search, new methods we might use to find them, etc.
Hi Andreas, thanks for sharing!

Do you have a mailing list? I don't have any social media and while I've subscribed to your YouTube and starred the project, it would be easier to keep up with a monthly digest vs. searching through commits and 20+ minute videos for the salient bits.

What? You can very easily use your iPad as a reader for pirated ebooks. Like, I cannot understand how it could possibly be made smoother than it is.

Whether pdf or epub, and whichever device or type of device you use to add the file, once you do it will automatically be stored in your icloud and synced across devices. Same as any purchase.
*Agree w/ using the SAR format... particularly the outcomes are a big deal.

First, if you aren't looking up what questions they are going to ask on the internet you're doing it wrong. Obv, not every company has had people post the questions online, but if they're up you should read through them.

When you tell your stories, make sure each story has a beginning, middle, and end... too often people lose track of their point towards the end and just keep on going on.

Depends on the company, but dropping the names of packages and frameworks gives companies some familiar ground to evaluate you. The guy that hired me at my last company actually referenced that as a deciding factor for him. I think we can all admit there is a trendiness to our work sometimes.

It's also really important to force the interview into a conversation... you need to be asking questions throughout the process as well, and making them have to think about how they should be impressing you too. You should be "Interviewing the Interviewer"... This is important because talented people are more worried where they will end up for a few years. It's also a signal that you aren't desperate.
This is a bit of a missing perspective. I wouldn't even care about them not following autocomplete=off if the damn autocomplete was useful. Instead 90% of the time I'm fighting it.

They really, really need to stop trying to autocomplete entire forms, and probably not anything other than "user/password" forms. The whole 'look at this input id and match it to a bunch of categories' approach has been thoroughly debunked as useless.
Are you asserting GP shouldn't be able to comment on ageism because people don't like being told what they can or can't say about ageism?

Just some lovely irony this morning ;)
> So where do these binaries get built and how does the system know which binaries to rebuild for a given change?

By the CI. All major CI/CD tools support rules like build binary x whenever a file under x-src/* changes; commit binary x when the ref matches /v[0-9.]+/; don't allow developers to manually push to these refs / paths; (run a script to) bump the dependent x of y whenever binary x changes; merge the bumped version if all tests still pass; etc.
well said. good advice
I worked at a startup that was acquired. No one was able to retire and almost everyone continued working for the new company. We were put on a 3 year retention bonus plan. We got more financial resources but never really got the human resources we needed. Things were largely stable for the first year or so, then we started getting more influence from the new management team - things that were not productive. My job became exclusively about my daily turn over of 'story points', didn't matter if I was doing something useful just that I did something. By the third year the business had all but dried up and we had no clear direction. When the bonuses stopped I left. From my perspective, you need to make sure there is a valid business model and a clear vision to continue to be successful. Everyone one new and old needs to share the vision.

How come you can only be an organ donor or nothing at all? Why is it not possible for your family to sell your body? I'm positive that it would flood the market with bodies and drive the value of your body down, but would at least still cover funeral services.

It would be nice if you could even select what you want to donate and sell, such as sell your skin and donate your organs.
