I was locked out of my Revolut account too, for about a day.

I was able to chat via messages in-app. But each time I did, the support person asked me to upload photos of supporting documentation to prove my own other bank cards were in my possession, that sort of thing. I duly did so, and then there would be acknowledgement followed by silence at the other end for hours. Eventually the person would log off (their status is visible) and the system would show that it was "waiting" for someone to become available to handle my query.

That "waiting for someone to become available" would typically last some 6 hours or so.

Then I'd get someone, and we'd go through another loop, going nowhere, and them going silent on me.

I read somewhere that this can go on for a week or more, which had me really worried because I'd put in about £1000 just before they locked the account, which I needed sooner than that.

I also read that their Twitter and Facebook teams are much more responsive than their Customer Service.

So I reached out on Facebook. Someone replied quickly that they'd asked somone in Customer Service to deal with my query, and... my account was unlocked about 15 minutes later.

So, all credit to Revolut's Facebook team....
The price seems fine to me. This is going to print a lot of useful parts for people and comes with great software for both your computer and the printer that you can hack and modify. If this is anything like my i3, then it's going to have high quality parts (Noctua fans!) and come in kit form to let you assemble it yourself so you know where everything is if something breaks and you need to repair it.

I am surprised that they switched to a more powerful microcontroller. While it is something Reddit endlessly complains about (despite having no software engineering experience), a lot of engineering is invested into their existing 8-bit platform which works perfectly fine. You don't need 32-bit pointers to read a string like "G1 X42" and pulse an I/O pin a couple times ;)
Yes, I realize. I never disagreed with this. What you said is entirely consistent with the point I was making, which was that "100% of published research has bugs" and "researchers, even in computer science, are usually not skilled programmers" are the quite misleading claims to make about research quality.
That same function appears on the second page of Philip Wadler's first Linear Logic paper, but it's called "kill" [1]

But I remember the words "drop" and "dup" being used since the early days of linear logic too. I believe they come from Forth, where they do pretty much the same thing! [2]

> How would you know what to type-cast FROM? It's not like C compilers pass type information around, nor are C values self describing.

That happens to be true, but one could imagine a calling convention that does do this, e.g. something like:

fixed0, fixed1, ..., fixedN, numVarArgs, type0, ..., typeM, arg0, ..., argM

it's just that it burns tons more registers than the promotion scheme does. And you'd still end up with a mini "interpreter" in the callee to at least switch over types.

We have established that there is a homomorphism called θ from B, the PROP of diagrams, to Mat, the PROP of matrices.

Very roughly, transmission line costs range from $2,500 - $16,000/mi.

PG&E has 106,000 miles of total distribution:

Which works out to less than $2 billion, so the $30 billion would account for at least an alternate (if not necessarily safer) system.

"Everyone" doesn't. If you don't make things, don't buy tools.

Metaphorically, you're comparing buying a radio to buying a piano. If you just want to listen to music, buying a piano is a very inefficient step to your goal.
Ah right, great fallacy! Great argument! Love when people throw Denmark, with population of 5M, under the bus while having not a slightest idea of what's actually going on. And why bother researching. Good old bernie sanders already said US can become a Denmark of tomorrow. Right? Right?? :D
Rust has the exact same semantics there. Drop is useful when you need to explicitly notate that a value should end its life early.

I'm thinking it's more about solving developing country problems vs. developed country problems. If your local currency is becoming zimbawbe, WhatsApp has a stable currency you can buy into with the local money changers and still is as convenient as mpesa.
The first part of that is already the case, according to the article:

Of course, the collected data is not public.

Not that easy. NYT data shows not only 4% increase for VaporFly, but also 3% increase for Streak.
Springer is harder. Though 18 male aren't enough to prove anything, the data is quite consistent. But 4% equals to 5 min in marathon. That means that a lot of athletes from 2013-14 could break 2 hours in that shoes easily. Probably 5 min on a treadmill at 18 km/h has little in common with 2 hours at 21 km/h.
So what software is the Mozilla Foundation developing that's costing them over $200 million a year that isn't Firefox?
There isn’t a different pool of rooms (at least not in a standard chain hotel with 80 to 150 rooms), you’re just a higher value guest since people coming from travel agents offer less net income due to having to pay commissions.

Sorry, what? Mozilla Foundation doesn't do software development.
Tell that to the enormous heap object you just forgot you made earlier.
Thank you for the correction. My limited understanding is it's actually a mixture of both (and will vary on a case by case basis), but I admit I'm not an expert.
Their financial statement says they do.

Apple broke it, but you can’t bring yourself to criticize your beloved?
Is there a demo or set of screenshots for the tool? I would like to learn more before signing up for a beta.
I assume you mean third party dependencies that are not in the monorepo? Pretty much yes, monorepos struggle if they are expected to handle dependencies that aren't stored in the monorepo, so step 1 of using a dependency from outside of a monorepo should be to copy the source into the monorepo (and transitively copy the source of dependencies, etc).
Parameter tuning is prevasive, but I guess I went too far to suggest that it's a code change.
(Sorry for being terse—on mobile). Validate the binary matches what? If the compiler has to compile the artifact to verify the artifact provided by the developer, why bother having the developer commit the artifact? The CI system could just do it. Never mind that having a bit-for-bit reproducible build is incredibly difficult. Anyway, such simple cases where a whole app lives under a single directory are vanishingly rare.

This is the correct answer. You can get osso bucco in almost any significantly sized American city.
I'm not saying that conservatives are unhealthy, I'm saying there are unhealthy levels of conservatism just as there are unhealthy levels and limits to liberalism.

The reason that it can be said that unity rather than adversary is higher in development is that conservatism tends to be resistance to the fundamental impermanence of reality. All things must change. Reality and consciousness are evolving. The world is becoming globalized and we are moving towards unity.

And it's not about who's bad or good, better or worse, it's about what level of development are you at, how high is your awareness, how well do you understand reality.

Demonizing a second grader for not reading at a high school level doesn't make any sense, just as telling a retiree he is lazy for quitting work doesn't make any sense.

I'm trying to help people see the thing they are defending when they react violently. What is it in you that gets so angry when you read what I wrote? Worth examining.

Edit: Also worth reading about Spiral Dynamics and seeing how it applies to Life and to politics.
Why would you switch the OS you're running?

Snow Leopard for life! The OS and the hardware it ran on, still run that Adobe release now just as well as they did then.

I'm not sure the treadmill has resulted in things feeling importantly different for standard tools over the last 10 - 15 years.
That seems like quite a leap. Drones are far from the worse source of noise. They can’t even stay in the air that long.

You’re not using std::unique_ptr to manage that?
It would work with an object held by unique_ptr though, exactly like this Rust example.
"It was largely a grassroots campaign. It was very deliberate, but also decentralized — with actors from different backgrounds and interests, concerned with different causes, working different institutional levers — learning from, and building upon, the work of one-another over time."

Artificial Intuition: The Improbable Deep Learning Revolution
You have to dig really hard to find out what the specific problem was. It turns out this was the fix:

def read_gaussian_outputfiles():
list_of_files = []
for file in glob.glob('*.out'):
list_of_files.append(file)
list_of_files.sort()
return list_of_files

That is, the original code never sorted the files and instead it trusted that a simple `glob` would give it files sorted in whatever is the desirable way.

It is a reasonable mistake for a total noob to make (just like the hundreds of simulations which use the built-in `rand` function of whatever language they are using without even so much as mentioning this pertinent fact), this should be called a "programming error" instead of a "code glitch". Also, the error should be publicized up-front.
Would you mind to share more how did you discover nickel at the beginning of the XX century and how you managed the gulags?
The effect is the same. If you assume malice, the actions you end up predicting are identical to the actions you predict if you assume byzantine organization. They are functionally equivalent. The distinction is hardly even a distinction at all, since byzantine organizations are often malicious. Even if no particular individual in the organization has malicious intent, the actions of the organization as a whole may be malicious.
> 2. When the second half of a pair is a list, you can omit the dot before it and the parentheses around it. So (a . (b ...)) can be written as (a b ...).

That defines (a b . c). Edit: Note that (b . c) is a list.
The “no name” drivers are a bit more complicated than an H bridge: https://www.pololu.com/file/0J450/a4988_DMOS_microstepping_d...

The typical H bridge has many failure modes and disadvantages which are handled by the controller ICs. Not to mention a lot less CPU overhead for the AVR running the show.
Aren't all business expenses tax deductible?
void drop(unique_ptr<T>&& x) {}

Would do the same in C++ for values held by unique_ptr: take ownership of the pointer and then free it.

It seemed like a relevant story given the article, and I quite enjoyed it. People don't always have to be making a point or arguing something.
The West in my opinion has lost a lot of what made it "The West" we knew it. I saw a decade of negative progression, and things getting more broken than before with each year.

Instead of West increasingly becoming a warped, and incomplete mirror image of China, why not to go with the real thing?
I think the team did not fully grasp how huge of a difference laser guided pacemaker and fully covered wind guard makes. The difference could have been greater -- maybe we're even going to see a peloton effect in future marathons utilized to the fullest.

It often feels like a quixotic fight. Strong claims sell papers, but are hard to stand behind for a researcher with high standards, who is very critical of overall practices in a field. Their "best" recourse in the idealistic sense would be to publish an overarching meta analysis of the field, and pointing out problematic practices, gaining enemies and being labeled as a crusader.

In my field, computer vision, a major problem is uncomparable setups, far reaching claims etc. A major pattern is introducing some fancy model, showing that it gets a bit better results that could well be due to noise or some tuning on the test set (not even secretly, just trying many different things and putting the bold formatting on your best number and claiming it as SOTA). Whether it was really due to your fancy model or not is hard to prove. But my experience is that mundane, pedestrian changes in a model introduce way bigger performance changes than whether or not you use the fancy module or architectural tweak that is proposed in mediocre published works. Which also means you can absolutely not compare models created by different people, especially when the performance gap is small. Tiny details can screw up the whole ordering, so trying to interpret the order and draw conclusions from it is equivalent to reading tea leaves.

Now surely this applies mostly to mediocre research. But that is the majority. Top of the line research is more solid, but if you're a small unknown researcher, your best strategy is to start getting out there, publish and network.
How different technologies affect different workers
For anyone looking for what the article is (mainly) about before reading it all: chiller whine for large datacenters/complexes between 630-1000 Hertz. Ironically at no point in the story did anyone actually find out how loud the noise was.
No, it would not free it. It takes a reference to the pointer and does nothing.
My next Hackintosh will be Mavericks. I'm going to use ESXi so hardware compatibility is less of an issue.

I'd love to do Snow Leopard instead but tracking down old software that's compatible has proven difficult. I'm convinced it's out there—iffy backwards compatibility means there shouldn't necessarily be fewer compatible apps, just different ones—it's just tracking them down in 2019 that's a problem. Mavericks is my compromise.

I was referring to macOS/OSX, but for Windows, it's actually against the licenses to virtualize anything but the Pro or Enterprise version. Considering the provisions in the DMCA about circumvention of copy protection being allowable, I'm not sure how enforceable this is.

Turns out other comments confirm for macOS, but I was under the impression Apple hadn't commented on it, though a plain reading of the license indicated it was ok.

This has not been my experience. Moving from dos/Windows 3 to 95 broke a lot of software, particularly games. The upgrades to Vista and 7 broke so many programs that they included an XP VM to get old stuff to run.
If you are financially stable... the go bigger. You can afford to really look for the right gig. Find a solid headhunter, and find your perfect gig... it will take ~3-6 months but it will be worth it.

Other option, start a biz on the side that utilizes the exact skills you would need later.
Under "communism", man oppresses man. Under capitalism, it's just the opposite.
Apple did not break your working software. It still runs on older versions of the OS.

Let's face it you are cheap, you weren't willing to keep up with the Adobe products you purchased and now you want to blame someone, instead of blaming yourself, you've decided it's someone else's fault.

I have pre-CC version of the Adobe products, and I run the an older version of OSX on my Mac Pro. I'm not willing to pay the price for Adobe, but I'm also willing to take responsibility for my cheapness.
Even as a person with zero 3D modeling skills, I like making a printer because it lets me make little knick-knacks of things that aren't popular enough to warrant actual toys but someone bothered to model and put up on Thingiverse.

But at least dropping PowerPC support was predicated on a legit hardware architecture change. And that new architecture actually made porting from PC much easier.

This change, by contrast, feels entirely unnecessary. The amd64 architecture natively supports i386 code. I realize it makes Apple's maintenance burden lower, but, they can deal with that.
I see your argument, and while it is plausible, it is muddying the waters. The twitter thread I linked above is from a former Firefox vice president, not from some random person on the Internet. People at Mozilla also thought that Google is playing fair game. When they realized there was a malicious intent, it was too late.

Wildfire risk comes from 1) vast amounts of highly vulnerable and flammable vegetation and 2) blown embers.

About as fanatic as someone who sees a small fire in their apartment building and tries to get the firefighters and/or the other residents to remove the danger I suppose.

Bad comparisons aside, it should tell you they (we) trust our data and conclusions enough to panic. Someone in it for just the money wouldn't do that, someone inflating the importance of the issue for grant money wouldn't either.

(And the argument about doing that to keep a job is ridiculous, as if no other jobs existed that would either pay far more money or would be similarly interesting and important.)

And of course you have more moderates that only go to the Fridays for Future protests and give talks etc.
