In option 1, the aircraft met the ground gently and safely.

In option 2, the aircraft met the ground violently and lethally.
I hate that this is called a "food computer." I know what they are now from reading the article, but it's totally non-intuitive. Why are publications using this in headlines? They're mini grow labs. Pretty straightforward.
To be clear, we're not out to supplant Jupyter. Anybody who's happy with their Jupyter setup will likely find little value in Polynote. But it has plugged some gaps we've had in our Scala ML research team at Netflix, so we thought others might see some value as well.
the push isn't (just) about homogeny of look, it is about consistency for users. When your UI design is backwards (or even inconsistently backwards, such as when a user is in he-IL locale) or you label your Delete button OK on platforms where the user doesn't expect that, it makes using the app frustrating, inefficient, and error-prone
Trump steals Biden's pitch to Latino voters by buying domain
The only possible explanation I can think of is this.

3. a : to catch and bring in

// land a fish

b : gain, secure

// land a job landed the leading role

imagine enemy soldiers capturing a base or hangar ship including the aircraft.

It's kind of a stretch though.
For #2, my immediate read was that the planes had been shot down. If the context were to suggest that the enemy had somehow hijacked the planes, then of course the word land would mean the same in both sentences.

I have never used or heard 'land a plane' in this context, but the sentence didn't immediately strike me as unnatural, incorrect or unclear.
I've never seen "landed" used as in the second sentence, but I was definitely able to understand from context that it was not being used to mean the same thing as in the first sentence.
You should share some example emails before asking users to pay. Or allow a trial.
I saw the question and immediately though of the argument order of `ln`. I have to look it up every time I use it. "Is it `target` then `link`, or the other way?" Remembering that the order is the same as `cp` seems like a promising trick.

And there are lots of teams at Netflix that are investing in Jupyter as well! Plenty of room for both options.
Skimmed it looking for DIMMs. This is interesting at the right price point but the magic happens with Optane DIMMs.
Yeah I don’t get the s at the end of aircraft. Landed, it would seem, would be land as in acquire, although that’s a bit odd of a construction. It seems rather forced. It may possibly mean that the aircraft were forced to land by the enemy. So it’s a tortured construction.
This alternative formulation from a Mathematics StackExchange answer[1] makes the decision to switch much more obvious:

"There are three boxers. Two of the boxers are evenly matched (i.e. 50-50, no draws!); the other boxer will beat either them, always.

You blindly guess that Boxer A is the best and let the other two fight.

Boxer B beats Boxer C.

Do you want to stick with Boxer A in a match-up with Boxer B, or do you want to switch?"

Stallman is a perfect example. He's one of the most obnoxious and disrespectful people on earth, not to mention a rape apologist, of course he should be expelled from society! And yet the very personality flaws that make him so utterly despicable were the same things that allowed him to accomplish what he did in the first place.

I'm glad that scum like him aren't allowed to have power anymore. And yet...and yet.
The object is a good idea. The PR and selling around it isn't. Everything in the story belies the main claims of the article, and that's the only problem I see - the difference between hustle and reality.

This is exactly the ethos of move fast and break things that will make the right things happen. They shipped to real customers in real environments. They used technology to address problems. They iterated on the design. All just like you're supposed to do for any successful product.

Where they screwed up is claiming to "make the world a better place" before they really did it. They're still in product-market fit phase, not techbros save the world phase.

What was taught at a USA top-10 University class on the first day was.. Christian teaching can be grouped into two groups.. one interprets the Bible as historical, allegory, divine guidance and ethical wisdom but not literally true, and the second is.. the Bible is literally the Truth of God, end of sentence. The former groups tend to be the better educated, more literate and more capable of critical thinking in a constructive way. Many of the second group do not actually spend that much time reading, or read in groups just in bits.. and the faith and work focus in other areas. The teacher was a Lutheran or Methodist perhaps.. It was a mixed class of students of many origins, and the teacher was pleasant and handled things well.

The origins of prominence of this edition are certainly political, from an English-speaking origin world. Alliance with this edition has something to do with political alliances between sects it seems like, over time.. people fight a lot over just about everything, including this..
The second one means "the enemy successfully got several of our aircrafts".

Specifically, definition 3a or 3b for the verb form here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/land

So potentially the enemy captured the aircraft (3a) or destroyed them (3b).
That is an excellent analysis of how that Gitlab telemetry fiasco was conceived.

I LOVE articles like this because they prop up all the worst aspects of an ideology and try to present them as their best aspects.

Have they no self awareness?

According to this article:

* Feminists worship the devil

* God himself is patriarchial
and therefore feminism is counter to God's will

* Science is witchcraft

* Intellectual enlightenment and freedom of thought come from Lucifer, and are therefore sin

Have they no self awareness? Do authors of articles like this actually think that aligning themselves with Christianity's representation of evil incarnate helps their cause? Do they think these arguments help advance their feminist ideals amongst Christian's?

It's scheudenfreued, I know, but this might be my favorite article about feminism of all time!
It does! Monaco is one of the many awesome open source libraries that made Polynote possible. We'll be discussing that at Scale by the Bay; check out our talk if you're going!
I don't know about the other projects. To me, it says that the funding model has eaten the reason for the Lab existing.

Feeding the hype machine that generates donations is considered more important than the work (not to mention the truth-seeking function of academia) the donations are supposed to fund.

There needs to be some serious house-cleaning if they want to be considered an actual research lab of any repute. Ito was a problem, but he quite clearly was not the only one.
When the ribbon was introduced, I went from a semi-expert (not quite power user) with Office to a newbie, struggling to find even the most basic functions such as indent-outdent! Now, after a few years of occasional use (I'm usually editing in Emacs or an IDE) I can sort of wing it, but in my opinion the ribbon is simply Wrong.

I get what another commenter said, who grew up with the Ribbon, but it's very difficult to adapt to if you've memorized the old menus and dialogue boxes. Thus, Libre Office now feels like a much more familiar and accessible tool.

Similarly, when Windows pivoted in v. 8 to a tiled interface, the more traditional UI's like KDE and Mac remained familiar and comfortable. Now Win10 is okay; it feels like Win7, only slicker and with lots of hidden power features (such as power shell, Linux subsystem, better copy-and-paste in cmd, etc.).

Putting back the things that worked was the right thing to do, and clearly someone with some sense of listening to the users is still in charge there.
The question is: where did this pattern come from? Why buy too many ads in the first place? Corporations are supposed to be maximizing profits, and yet we hear they are wasting tons of money on ads. Why don't some of them would learn not to and bring massive returns to shareholders? Some thoughts:

- A recent comment regarding a travel agency reflected that execs would check the stats on the most popular travel agency every week, and wanted to be at the top. They would therefore run ad campaigns at the end of the week in order to drive themselves to the top, even if the ads were a net loss in revenue. This suggests that a lot of advertising is aimed at people who are already invested in the company: execs and shareholders, who see the ads and think it is reflective of how well the company is doing (which, in a way, it is: it signals they have extra money to waste on advertising)

- I recently saw a clip from a Jobs interview, where he contrasted non-monopolies, which are run by product people, with monopolies (like Xerox and IBM), which are run by "sales and marketing" people. Presumably some ads are effective. Controlling the ads that are effective gives marketing power over the company, in the monopoly case. Having attained this power, they then use it to route the company's spare revenue to buy still more ads. This has the interesting implication (perhaps obvious) that a monopoly is bad for shareholders (as well as consumers), who are being robbed of the revenue now being spent on ads.
If the factoid I'm remembering is accurate, the "crime" of jaywalking was one of those things automobile manufacturers lobbied for in order to shift the blame for accidents from automobile/drivers to the pedestrians actually getting injured. Of course, before the automobile, streets were for pedestrians just as much as they were for any other means of transportation, and everyone moved slowly enough to get out of each others' way.

An Optane SSD is a fast SSD.

An Optane DIMM is a slow DIMM. (Even if it is faster than an SSD)

Intel hopes that you can replace a smaller amount of fast DRAM with a larger amount of slow Optane and that it will be faster (e.g. you have more "RAM" so you are less dependent on disk) but that is by no means a sure thing.

Note the 16x PCIe connection is a key to AMD supremacy since AMD's microprocessors have many more PCIe channels to play with compared to Intel processors. In the end AMD + Micron might beat the pants of Intel + DIMMs that only work with the most expensive Intel processors.
Wouldn't it make more sense to first probe for the existence of this thing you speak of before trying to see who is or isn't close to it?

It's funny.

The ancient iron-smiths. They devised dozens of techniques for making iron harder and tougher. But they didn't know "how it works".

But now we know how it works. That is to say, we have a nice body of thought that describes what we observe going on there. Good thoughts. Useful thoughts.

But how does that work, with thoughts describing observations? I dunno.

Maybe we're like the ancient iron-smiths, except with thoughts.

Thought smiths.
I feel like they've been that way for over a decade at the very least. While I may be ignorant of such, I know of no outcomes of TED talks that led to new developments or progress or breakthroughs. The astronomical cost of attendance allows some wealthy people to intellectually slum when --given their resources-- they could already be involved in remarkable efforts.

Ahh, just found an example where that's taken from https://glosbe.com/en/en/land. If you find on that page you'll see the exact sentence "the enemy landed several of our aircraft" (without the s after aircraft) which it says means "shoot down".

I have still never heard landed used in that way, and again in other dictionaries I searched I couldn't find that definition either. Thus, this is a case where the "AI" may get it "right", and me, the human would get it "wrong", but that still feels like it's missing a huge point. It feels you could get a number of errors by the human which the AI gets "right", but in fact the human is better able to detect what is rare, uncommon or at least ambiguous.
It's not that that the KJV is not "valid". It's that it's not recommended over the Catholic version.

The Catholic version contains the "deuterocanonical" books of the Old Testament.

https://bustedhalo.com/ministry-resources/why-doesnt-the-cat...

PS. [mentioned in the article] Apparently the original KJV did include the deuterocanonical books, but they were not considered canon.
The Puritans and non-English protestants were the first to omit them entirely.
The U84, available to lead customers now, doesn't have the vector extensions. The U87, announced to be made available in H2 2020, will.

The vector extension spec is 99% done. There shouldn't be anything more than minor tweaks from now.

Note that part of the RISC-V extensions philosophy is that specs are not finalized until (preferably) multiple implementations have been made and shown to work as expected in the real world.
Not the same person, but I keep a text file divided into two sections - "history" and "today"

The "today" section is a bulleted list of the things I think I'm working on today.
I add to it through the day as I get shoulder-tapped, or as I realize another important sub-task.

As I finish tasks, or at the end of the day, I move them up into the "history" section under the current date. Thursday: A, B, C

This is basically all of the "head state" in the infamous cartoon of how you ruin engineers lives by interrupting them. I feel that it allows me to be interrupted without losing import state, and it's also a ready-made "scrum status" of what I did yesterday, and an augment to my memory when someone asks me "did you change X?" for some micro-task that was too small to ticket.

I feel this has helped me be a more effective developer, in spite of my decaying memory, than I was when I tried to keep everything in my head. :)

In the theory, I would love to agree with you. I bleed blue. The reality is there's a lack of truth / data / facts to support doing so.
I agree. Possibly to just give a bit more weight to what they say. So far, I've mostly seen this with Google employees here. Can't remember seeing anyone else mentioning this except when promoting a product.

1. Regarding policy, I think a simple disclosure like this is my personal opinion not that of my employer would be good enough.

Yes, it's ridiculously easy on Android Studio. You can drag and drop interfaces lol. What would take 10 seconds in Android Studio takes 5 hours of CSS and 2 weeks of testing/debugging on the web. What is impossible or requires esoteric hacks on the web (concurrency) is done on mobile the exact same way it has been done for decades in software engineering (multithreading, CSP, ...) with entire books and college classes about how to do it.

This feels hollow. Can't this be said about any benchmark? It seems natural and proper that as one benchmark becomes saturated, we introduce harder benchmarks.

I don't think anyone in the field thinks that once we match human performance on benchmark X, we're officially done. It just means it's time for more interesting benchmarks.

Over time, if it starts to become difficult to design benchmarks that humans can outperform machines on, then that will prompt interesting conceptual work about what exactly the difference between human and machine language competency is. And then that will lead either to more sophisticated benchmarks or alternatively gradually more sophisticated and persuasive arguments that machines really have surpassed us in language competence.

I don't think we're yet at a point where we don't know how to make harder benchmarks, and if and when we do hit such a point, I'd definitely bet the result will be a conceptual advance in benchmark design rather than declaring machine superiority once and for all. At least for the first few rounds of this cycle.
I was around when they built the first one (I was taking an IAP class on bio-entrepeneurship) and the big idea was that the computer would (1) make the food more nutritious (2) "democratize" agrifood commodities regardless of geography and (3) be fully automatic.

Ask HN: Enduring popularity of Chrome 49, 61, and 63?
According to https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-version-market-share (see the CSV for unabridged data), Chrome 49, 61, and 63 seem to be oddly popular today, given their age.

- Chrome 49: 2016-03-02

- Chrome 61: 2017-09-05

- Chrome 63: 2017-12-05

Yet these three browsers all have greater marketshare than Chrome 72 and 73 (from early this year). Chrome 49 and 63 seem to be slowly declining, but Chrome 61 actually increased over the first half of 2019 (from 0.07% in Jan to 0.47% in July).

Are there operating systems that ship with these specific versions? Organizations that haven't upgraded? Or are other browsers (or bots) using these user agent strings?

Extra thanks if you can also tell me why Safari 5.1 has 0.77% market share. Are that many people still running Snow Leopard?
Not so. Newspapers reached peak profits in the 1990's. At least, this is common wisdom from many people I know who worked at one at the time. Lots of first class travel and good per diems. This was also the time that lots of papers got bought up by big media companies.

Newspaper profits were also pretty good up through the early 2000's. I've never been convinced that craigslist was immediately responsible for the loss of classifieds revenue (which used to represent %50 of many newspaper's income), so much as the internet made it really cheap to build classifieds ads distribution platforms, craigslist being only one of them.
> Either way, you're given the choice between having the 1 door you initially chose, or both of the other doors.

i initially thought this too, but in both cases you're gonna see 2/3 doors. the thing that makes the difference is when he has the car (2/3 of the time), he has to tell you where it is. so the choice becomes between your unknown door and his 2/3 selectively chosen car door.
I asked the police for help once, and instead they held me as the prime suspect and interrogated me until the problem solved itself without anyone's help, and then I was told I could go like they were doing me a favor. FUCK the police. They can eat shit.
> Nobody "liked" the ads

People like reading ads about products they're interested in. I know I do. This idea that ads are all toxic because their purpose is to sell just isn't right.
The key insight is that which door is picked actually communicates information to you about the other doors because you know those other doors were not picked. You now know more about the probabilities of various outcomes which means you need to change your choice. Also note the question is about "do you change your choice?" not about the chances of success with any specific door.
