Agree overall, but tf.eager doesn't have much to do with the rest of the list.

tf.contrib is just a module where user-contributed code was stored, which included both low-level constructs and higher level APIs.
tf.estimator is an abstraction that is mostly used for productionizing models.
tf.slim/tf.learn were indeed redundant with keras (a library developped externally), but were necessary steps before keras became part of tensorflow.

To be fair I think Matlab is still heavily used in industry, which I view as a direct result of being so dominant among students and researchers. Maybe not for machine learning, but for controls engineering, signal processing, stuff like that it feels unavoidable.

Personally I think all these deep learning frameworks just haven't had as much time to mature, I have a feeling once they do that the one that dominates academia will eventually dominate industry.
I'm not familiar with web scraping but have been looking for feed(s) from shopping sites (e.g. deals.ebay.com, deals.amazon.com etc.). In good ol' days they used to publish RSS, but not any more. Can I use this for what I'm looking for? Will eBay and Amazon end up banning me? Alternately does anyone know of a good service that aggregates shopping feeds?
Not as much. But quality cache invalidation and high level project descriptions are always nice.

I don't think the people replying to you understand what a suburb or small town or city is like. I feel sometimes I should make a video of my home town (pop 40,000) to show people here why a lot of things like bicycling to work would actually play out here.

Edit: Like I really do't have traffic jams here...traffic is steadily moving at 40 mph or so with only minor stop and starts.A lot of things you have to get on the highway for, which makes bicycling simply impossible. Even depending on the town, where you work matters; most people here are knowledge workers who can fit into a downtown center with no hazard. The guys working at the local lowes distribution center, chicken farm, or industrial park have their workplaces in the middle of nowhere due to noise and pollution concerns.
> It is Latin and roughly translates to "If you ain't first, you're last" according to Google Translator.

Google translate is not up to the task of translating more than an isolated word without serious errors. I can't actually check your translation, but I can point out some issues:

- The verb, es, and the word "first", primus, are both singular. They match! And they're supposed to. But novissimi is plural. In the sentence as given, novissimi plays no role, much like the "cabbage" in the sentence "this sentence contains cabbage six words".

- Novissimi means, literally, "newest". (Heck, it doesn't just mean "newest", the two words are etymologically identical.) It does metaphorically refer to the rear of something, since the back of the army is where the least experienced (newest) troops get placed. A better word for "last" would probably be postremus, meaning literally "last" and metaphorically "worst".

- There's only one verb. (Compare "if you're not first, you're last".) That isn't the problem in Latin that it would be in English, but I flag it because the final two issues require careful thinking about what verb to use where...

- This is a conditional statement using a present indicative verb. The strong implication is present that, as described, you really aren't first. If the statement was meant to be hypothetical or counterfactual, you'd probably use subjunctive mood.

- I cannot guarantee that the concept "to be first" is best expressed by combining the verb "to be" with the adjective "first", as you've done here. It's quite possible that there's a verb that describes winning a race or a competition or whatever, and that verb would be a more idiomatic way of expressing this meaning. I have no knowledge of whether that's actually true, but it's the kind of thing that comes up a lot when you're trying to translate between languages. (This sort of thing is why it's much safer to translate things into your native language than out of your native language, even if you have near-perfect command of the other language.) English is very free with "be + adjective" constructions; many languages are more prone to specialized verbs. (Compare the Latin verb rubere, "to be red". Expressing the concept as ruber esse, "to be" + "red (adj.)" is an error.)
Glad to hear of this change.

However, on a semi-related note, will the issue where a firmware update on dual-boot system (popOS and Windows) consistently breaks systemd-boot, forcing a start into Windows, be addressed in the foreseeable future?

I had a pretty horrific left knee injury wrestling. I was carted off to the hospital, when the accident was described to the Orthopedic surgeon he actually recoiled and was concerned I may have totally destroyed my and that it might not be repairable, it was 1979. From the time of the accident until I was in surgery it was less than 3 hours.

Somehow I managed to only stretch all my knee ligaments, ACL PCL,MCL,LCL, a few small inline tears, but nothing severed, but he said they were like overused rubber bands all stretched out. I did however shred all the cartilage. The cartilage was a mess, so much so that when they surgically removed all the cartilage from my knee. I have the video of the surgery, all my knee cartilage was removed, they scraped the bones in order to give me the smoothest ride possible, but it doesn't do much. When you don't have cartilage in your knee it's pretty obvious.

Fast forward 22 years to mid 2001 when I start following the teachings of Linus Pauling regarding L-Ascorbic Acid and L-Lysine for heart disease prevention. I started taking high levels of both in divided doses during the day. My stress levels plummeted, and my overall health significantly improved, but after about 6 months I started to notice my knee was changing, a lot. My pain was going away and I didn't notice the bone on bone activity, after about 9 months my knee stopped hurting completely.

In fact it felt so good that I started walking for exercise, normally after 5 minutes of walking I felt like I was gun shot in the knee, but nope I was able to walk fine for as long as I wanted. I then started jogging and then running, no pain, no pain at all.

I've seen my orthopedist and while he's not willing to just give me and MRI, based on all of his examination he said my left knee is no different then my right knee and he didn't believe me that I had all my cartridge surgically removed 20 years before. I took the video, just in case, and I played the video. My knee has a unique scar from when I was a child and fell on a bottle, I had the scar when they performed the surgery and shot the video and I still have the scar, so there is no doubt that all my cartridge in my knee was surgically removed in 1979.

L-ascorbic acid and L-Lysine are basic building blocks for cartilage. I'm just a sample size of one, but I know my cartilage is back, maybe not all the way back, but more than enough back that my knee rock solid stable, it's smooth as silk, I have no pain and my orthopedist can't find a difference in my knees.

For what it's worth.
payroll, property, corporate (paid by shareholders), estate, and sales tax all being left out of this article make its argument exactly what it accuses other arguments of being; incomplete.

plus, would you argue that payroll tax is a tax on the employee or the shareholder, whos paying it? is it a cost of employing someone, or the cost of being employed?
Nice!

I see your point but the same way as having loopholes which may be a mistake in our model our model can also be flawed in the sense that there are actually more loopholes than we can currently see.

I understand its inconceivable that something can exist that we haven't predicted with our current understanding of physics but we also need to realise that scientists 150 years ago thought the stuff we understand and use daily today were also inconceivable. I am talking about breakthroughs that may arise and after a few decades we'll be looking back and thinking how blind we are not to see them earlier. It happened before it may happen again.
Please reread what I wrote.

To be clear, I really dislike noise pollution, and welcome the day when noisy lawnmowers, leaf blowers, jetskis and motercycles are banned from where people live, relax, most places really. I think it is really selfish for others to produce such noise around others.

What is silly is to say this noisy thing can't possibly fit into the world without hitting an extreme benchmark, when society has already accepted much worse offenders (whether you and I like it).

Or am I misunderstanding something?
Take a look at where Windows UAC eventually ended up. A lot of this can definitely be streamlined by having the action itself also be the permission approval, as UAC now does.

Doesn't necessarily help with 3rd party apps, but it's a bit insane that the bundled apps on the OS itself have all these issues, too (like iterm fighting finder??)

I mean, I've taken the time to try to search for each of those subsystem things are asking for, but the information out there about doesn't really add much more info to 'if you don't say yes this will not work' or, 'this will ask you again for permission in 10 min'

Some of the more curious ones I've checked via the logs in the ActivityMonitor to try to figure out what is really being asked.

But none of this yields an answer. ie, things need to use launchd, assistantd, and accountsd ect. I never personally revoked those permissions.

>Also it’s amusing that you’ve managed to elide the not insubstantial relationship of having started a war that killed at least a hundred thousand Iraqis and in all probability many more.

My government sending a few thousand troops over to Iraq decades ago does not bring me any closer to the people of Iraq.

If anything, it distances me from them.

I don't know anybody who served in Iraq.

I was always disgusted with Canada's involvement in the whole mess.

There are 10x as many People from Hong Kong living in Canada [0] as there are Iraqis [1].

So by that metric, Canadians in general should care approximately 10x as much about news from Hong Kong vs news from Iraq and I would say that's pretty accurate from what I have seen recently.

When it comes to 4096 the only viable benefit seems to be the key size and performance. While I certainly agree with that and I wish I could use ed25519, I can't use it with my security keys.

Yubikey currently supports 4096 bit RSA keys as a part of GPG applet. There's a PIV module, however in terms of elliptic curves it only has ec256 and ec384 and I still can't get ssh and pkcs11 to pick up anything other than built-in 2048 RSA keys.

Editing human DNA will intensify the debate compared to editing crop plant DNA, I am sure.

I guess you can have heated lens just like you have heated mirrors (I'm living in Brazil so I don't have this problem).

Maybe you should have. Hopefully not in the way that the current Twitter mob has organized, though.

I came to a similar crossroads when I realized I did not want to switch from windows7 to 10 once security patches end in 2020.

I've been using Kubuntu 18.10 since January and have found it so much easier to get things done. I don't have to constantly reset privacy and telemetry settings to keep the OS's nose out of my life. It has a real shell, ssh, and terminal so I no longer have to muck about with cygwin, putty, and winscp. I can customize the UI to my liking, e.g. dark mode that's consistent across applications.

About the only thing that doesn't work is about 1/3rd of my Steam game library but it's a tiny sacrifice for the efficiency gained with a proper OS that respects your time and privacy.

Yeah, this rings pretty true.
They fixed most of them somewhere around XP SP2 or SP3, where they pretty much disabled help functionality on everything on the lock screen.

When Cortana was introduced, they had some issues of being able to launch the browser while the machine was still locked (though as the user that the computer was locked by). You couldn't do much as the previous bugs as the lock screen still covered everything.
Interesting concept. When combined with a self-driving car, you could drive through a particularly unpleasant neighborhood and instead look at views of whatever scenic trip you fancy.

The NVRAM is preserved on firmware updates with this new firmware, so that could fix this issue but I have not encountered it before. Usually it is recommended to install Windows first, and then install Pop!_OS - so that the Windows bootloader has not taken over the default location. Is that how you installed?

You're only addressing one side of the equation (i.e. the Chinese customers) and ignoring the other side (i.e. the non-Chinese customers). That's where the long-term death happens; if you alienate US customers in favor of Chinese customers (which is exactly what's happening right now), and then China shoves you out anyway in favor of Chinese businesses (which they inevitably will), then congrats, now you're worse off.
It's all very depressing. Like most of us here, I have become increasingly frustrated with the state of Mac (touch bar, bad keyboards, odd choices that fit neither creators nor developers well, and so on). No point rehashing it all.

But where does that leave us? I spent a year on Windows 10 not so long ago, on upper end laptop hardware with HiDPI screen, and it was less fun and more problem prone than macOS - especially when it came to fast day-to-day stuff we never think about, such as PDF printing, quickview, etc. Plus in Windows you get the mysterious stop-the-world issues (that I suspect are OS level misbehaviors when some remote network connection has become lagged). There may be some use cases where Windows is actually faster/nicer/better than macOS, but they're not non-MS development, Adobe CC work, regular file management work, etc. Maybe games are it.

Desktop Linux (even on standard desktop computers, not just specialized laptops) is far from perfect. Getting everything to work is a lot of effort, and then mysteriously something will stop working. Every window manager has some rough edges or cases where it's unpleasant. Getting and keeping a Linux Desktop in good working order is harder than it should be at this age of Linux.

ChromeOS?... I know some people who use that as their daily driver. Obviously there are desktop apps that they don't need/use (Adobe CC, for example). But what happens when some automated Google thing triggers an account ban? Bricked laptop and no data?

Thing really do not seem to be improving on the whole. Old problems are replaced with new problems, but the layers and separated concerns mean more complexity and more difficulty solving problems.
