I will add further to this point.

There will be bad model code in both PyTorch and TensorFlow. The difference is that, bad PyTorch code reads like bad Python code, and I've accumulated a lot of experience reasoning through bad Python code. Bad TensorFlow code can come from any one of of the history of paradigms that TF has gone through, and I don't even know if it's bad or just some funky new TF functionality I'm unfamiliar with.
This is the biggest thing keeping me from leaving the Mac for Linux, and it hasn’t really improved much in the last 4 years. I don’t think most people care about HighDPI (or whatever you want to call it), particularly Linux devs. But I can’t go back to lower DPI screens.
If most people experience it, it wouldn't tend to surprise most people. But it probably does happen more often than most would believe.

I'd just like to second the used-Thinkpad route. I picked up an X250 (Skylake i5) on eBay last spring for $160, and after maxing out RAM (8GB), a decent SSD and a new battery I'm out ~$350 for something that is both indestructible and quite zippy. Yes, it's not shiny, but IMHO it's a far more practical Unix-y workstation. (I mainly run Linux but I've tested OpenBSD too and everything Just Works.)

I mean you might as well define "more real" as "less processed" at this point because the ingredient is absurd -- steak has fewer ingredients than pizza.

The problem I have when people argue against "processed" foods is that most of thing things that people argue as "processing" is just normal cooking and preserving made to sound scary.

And the research is there that we absorb calories and nutrients differently depending on how and how much we cook things but that should be the discussion.

It's interesting to see this from a MacOS release and the security complaints are similar to what's been seen about recent versions of Windows.

To me, both are a manifestation of the idea that these two Operating Systems are moving in the direction of being safer for "ordinary users" at the expense of annoying more technical users who want to do less common things which can be dangerous if you're not careful (like running software as root)

Given that "ordinary users" outnumber technical ones, I guess that makes commercial sense...

As a result of that, I prefer working with Linux where possible as (generally) it lets you do what you want, even if that's really dumb/dangerous. If I say `kill -9 x` or I sudo to root and do `rm -rf .` by accident it's on me.

From the most recent tweet that has some confirmation of the 'leaked email' [0]

> Finally, I offer my sincerest condolences to @waze, which unlike HKmap is an app specifically intended for evading law enforcement, and which by Mr. Cook's logic must therefore brace itself for imminent removal from the App Store.

So this leaked internal email is Mr Cook's and Apple's justification for removing the HKMap due to it 'violating HK law' and questions the lack of evidence of which laws that lead to this decision.

Right now the last tweet is outright accusing Waze of 'specifically intended for evading law enforcement' without supporting evidence too. (I'd like to see evidence for this) If this evidence is also true then this sounds much like of a App Store double-standard, that large companies can get away with it unless they are brought into the light.

If that is true, I will offer to press F to pay my respects to @waze in advance.

I get really sick of people arguing personal preference as if it’s irrefutable fact. I have written pretty sophisticated applications in more than a dozen different languages over the last 3 decades and yes, you’re absolutely right that Go does fall short in many respects, but then so does every other language. There isn’t such thing as a perfect language; it’s always about weighing up benefits vs trade offs.

So how about we get off our proverbial soapbox and enjoy the fact that we are lucky enough to work in an industry where we can choose the tools we like.

With many points the performance of SVG is simply not acceptable. On the other hand, for canvas they are just pixels (once they are drawn) - no difference in performance if they are white or green.

Note that I love SVG and still use it for the axes and the layers above the chart, but it has too much overhead to be used for drawing the chart values.
The "Not Interested Anymore?" thing in Podcasts annoys me too. It's so common for me to stop listening to something for a few weeks, then find I have a backlog of episodes that didn't get downloaded when I come back to it. And of course I always discover this when I'm out and about (since that's where I listen to podcasts), so I can't download the backlog since I'm not connected to WiFi.

Well, the worst engineers don't push any code so maybe it looks like they don't think writing more code is productive.

However its been my experience that the average engineer believes this. They often aim to push some amount of code (meaningful or not) every few days or so.

The best engineers I know write a lot of code overall but are more interested in ensuring they build the right thing and are ok with not pushing code for a while if they need more time.

Like others here, at work we switched over from TensorFlow to PyTorch when 1.0 was released, both for R&D and production. Our productivity and happiness with PyTorch are noticeably, significantly better.

Back when we were using TensorFlow, whenever we wanted to try something new, sooner or later we would find ourselves wrestling with its computational graph abstraction, which is non-intuitive, especially for models with more complex control flow.

That said, we are keeping an eye on Swift + MLIR + TensorFlow. We think it could unseat PyTorch for R&D and eventually, production, due to (a) the promise of automatic creation of high-performance GPU/TPU kernels without hassle, (b) Swift's easy learning curve, and (c) Swift's fast performance and type safety. Jeremy Howard has a good post about this: https://www.fast.ai/2019/03/06/fastai-swift/
> The final (well, first) Catalina release along with the outright awful public beta makes me think one thing. And that is Apple’s insistence on their annual, big-splash release cycle is fundamentally breaking engineering. I know I’m not privy to their internal decision making and that software features that depend on hardware releases and vice-versa are planned and timed years (if not half-decades) in advance, but I can think of no other explanation than that Marketing alone is purely in charge of when things ship.

I don't work at Apple, but this part hit home for me. In the past few years my jobs have revolved around shipping features at all costs with zero regard for engineering feasibility.

We all like to criticize CEOs for prioritize short-term stock prices over long-term company goals, but I'm beginning to think the average employee or middle manager has even more perverse incentives to make poor short-term decisions. I've seen a lot of engineers and managers swing for the fences to deliver headline features that can't possibly be completed on time with any standard of quality, testing, or long-term support. It doesn't matter, though, if your goal is to add that accomplishment to your resume so you can pivot into the next higher-paying job elsewhere. After that, your mess becomes someone else's problem and you're off the hook. Up or out.
I participated in a 4 week rTMS study clinical earlier this summer, for treatment-resistant depression. Study included:

- ~30 minute sessions, 5x a week

- rTMS device stimulates the prefrontal cortex (located through an MRI, and located each session with a pre-measured cap that you wear during the session)

- rTMS is non-intrusive, and seems to have virtually no side effects (unless you have a history of epilepsy, which would have precluded you from the study)

I would describe the sessions as pain-free, with a sense of mild annoyance (the magnetic pulse feels like someone flicking you on the head with a finger). Some other people experienced headaches the first two weeks during treatment, but I didn't experience that.

In terms of effectiveness, I would say that it helped greatly reduce the symptoms of depression for me. I've struggled with depression for ~10 years, and antidepressants would sometimes help, but the side-effects were just not maintainable. With rTMS, I feel like it reduced my symptoms by about 60% (not completely gone, but man can I ever function in life again!).

It's been about 3 months since I participated in the trial, and I am now participating in their maintenance program (2 sessions a month, ~10 minutes per session). At this point, I'm recommending rTMS for those who haven't been able to find anything that works for them yet.
I think an argument could be made that they’re going to dig for that oil anyway and they might as well do it efficiently.

Your comment is in violation of HN guidelines.

All I saw is a marketing piece designed to tell me about the product line of a company I’d never heard of. No context as to things I could relate to, mostly just information and excitement about this prefect platform.

Outside of prefects products and features, what is the information you took away from this article that made it worth your time?
Both can be true. We live in an international community.
Maybe Apple could have gone through all the apps on their own App Store, built a whitelist out of the privileges that each of those apps effectively needs to do its job at all (not optional features, just the “makes the app more than a paperweight” feature-set), and shipped Catalina with said whitelist.

For example, if, when you upgraded to Catalina, the App Store version of Alfred was already installed on disk, then macOS should assume that you’re an Alfred user, who wants to continue to be able to do “the thing Alfred does” (launch apps) without asking.

And before you say “but what if this whitelist authorizes malware to continue being malware”—if there’s malware on the App Store, then they should probably solve that by removing the app from the App Store and deauthorizing the developer’s code-signing cert, so that Gatekeeper won’t run it any more. Just kill the vampires; don’t ask the user if they want to let them in.
Notice how it does not say "The US should not enforce its immigration laws."

Seattle's emissions per person are up?! C'mon, Seattle. I'm just guessing, but maybe all the bike nuts that are going to ride to work already moved here, and the n00bs drive. Or here's a better one: outrageous house prices mean people are moving further out and driving more, let alone being close enough to bike/walk to work.

I'm only surprised because, personally, we had a less-than-average footprint to begin with, and have been whittling at it since. I only drove the electric car this morning because at 32F/0C I don't want to dump a single track vehicle (bicycle/electric scooter/motorcycle) on black ice like I did last year. We're replacing the 30 year old furnace with a heat pump next week (most efficient I could buy). We insulated the attic this summer. We rarely fly anymore. Don't tell me personal emissions are up, we're running out of ideas. :-)
It is all talk till I see action. Action that could already be taken on these issues.

How about doing a better job at bundling items? Or encourage people to not use 2 day shipping? I'd argue Amazon actually incentivizes single package and fast shipping, which are counter to this message.

> The rights of LGBTQ+ people must be protected.

> We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform.

> Governments should work quickly to put in place a regulatory framework for facial recognition technology.

I think these three are tied together. I'll also say that with all the stuff coming out of the woodworks this week (in respect to Hong Kong) all this needs explicit action for people to believe that Amazon cares. We're seeing a lot of companies that say they care but act differently. So it is all talk until I see action as far as I'm concerned.
.. and then there are the anatomically interesting cave paintings of Gabarnmung:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabarnmung

There is a .. crackpot theory .. around the notion of ancient intelligence, which I entertain as it is interesting to me as a fan of Szukalski as well as various neolithic cultural introspections: Australian aborigines are the original 'wise men', who travelled across the globe and taught other tribes how to harvest the land and cultivate animals. Gabarnmung was one of their original 'universities', and Gobekli Tepi, is another.

Anyway, its a wild and not yet substantiated theory, but .. what if indeed ancient society really was a lot more advanced than we gave it credit? Certainly, many cultures overlooked in the rush to the moon, have their own deeply advanced aspects.
