That sounds like a w3m problem. Still works on elinks and links.

Actually, I just tried it on w3m. Still works just fine. It must be that whoever compiled your w3m messed up in some way.

A couple months ago, a recruiter working for Activision-Blizzard contacted me about a potential job. I responded that when I was working for my CS degree, I had dreams of working for Blizzard. But then earlier this year they announced laying off 800 people immediately after also announcing record profits, and said that doesn't sit well with me and I have no interest working for them.

The recruiter responded with something about being able to understand that perspective. I probably burned a bridge, but I don't really care.

The old "Blizzard" has been gone for years, another company ruined by greed.
The whole WeWork saga stinks to high heaven, did Neuman con Son or was Son just not aware of what's going on till all truth came out in the S1. And, was he stupid to believe that the company could still go IPO based on what was in the S1.
But the free market is working: there are permitless drones available (with idiot-proofing software), or you can buy or build a "DRM-free" drone, and now the gov't essentially says you need a permit/license to fly it. I've seen youtube channels of the commercial drone pilots (ads/TV/cinema) who had to spend $10K+ to get a pilot's license.

There is still a middle ground of "unlocked" drones that you only need to register with FAA to use, but you still need to follow the rules yourself. But it is in the drone manufacturers interest to self-regulate to avoid being banned altogether. If too many yahoos and others (see Gatwick incidents) cause problems, authorities can easily kill their profitable industry. So I think these "personal-responsibility" drones will quickly be phased out by the industry.
Between the Bayh-Dole Act, DARPA, NASA, the NSF Seed fund, and Department of Energy loans (I seem to recall the A123 loan was a political football for a while) doesn't the US already put a lot of money into technology startups?

The only difference is, the US government doesn't take equity, and thank goodness for that. Imagine a political appointee on the board of every new technology company.

The author of the repo here. It is definitely not orders of magnitude faster. I didn't mention it anywhere also I guess. But yeah, JVM is sometimes a problem for in-memory computing for big data processing. Spark itself tried to address this. This is what their tungsten engine does. They circumvent huge Java Objects by using native types through JNI(sun.misc.Unsafe). This is the reason why Dataframes are generally much faster than RDD(which typically uses Java objects). This is the reason only certain native types are allowed in Dataframes. This project was just for exploring the feasibility of implementing itself in the native language. Closure serialization can be a nightmare here. If it actually translated to even 2-4X better performance than Spark which itself is very difficult to achieve considering years of optimizations went into Spark, it can be a good alternative and can reduce cloud costs a bit, especially if the Python APIs remain compatible. Spark Dataframes are already highly optimized. Therefore I just thought of open-sourcing it and if others see the benefits, it will automatically grow with the help of the community. It is still a long, long way to reach Spark level maturity. Spark is indeed a very huge ecosystem built upon an already big Hadoop ecosystem.
The reason a Star Schema exists is because it reduces the amount of data stored and it reduces the load times (faster updates) because only the facts and measures get updated. There is also little redundancy in Master Data (dimensions).

in the world of fixed assets (on-premise data warehouses) this was a concern, I'm curious to see how this plays out in these Cloud Providers because to me it seems like they will be more than happy to rent you as much space as you want and everyone is happy until the bill comes due.

Doing materialized, flat tables everywhere is great for reporting performance but the tables will not be updated as quickly, there will be redundancy in storage and it will be difficult to sync time dependent dimensions.
There's a reason Toastmasters is so recommended in this thread: it's really good at what it is, so try that out.

For other options, try speaking a lot more in low pressure situations. At work, try small groups to start. Ask your manager if you can lead a team meeting where the agenda is defined, and your role is just to facilitate discussion. Present your work to 3 teammates and ask them to hold questions until the end.

In your personal life, if you are a regular at a coffee shop or lunch place and see the same person repeatedly, learn their name, then ask them how they are doing whenever you see them. Try to actually answer with something specific when people ask how you are doing. If you have kids or access to them (young relatives), try reading out loud to them. Join a writing seminar that asks you to read your work out loud.

The above are just a laundry list of ideas, the point is basically "find low pressure environments to speak, do it as often as possible, vary the scenarios."
> "If a company declares selling computers to the legitimate government of a country is "Just doing business," then, well, that's IBM during the reign of the Nazi party, and history has held them accountable regardless."

Seems more like a historical footnote than any real accountability. IBM is still around and the era where "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" and had a immense workforce occurred well after the WWII era.

I agree with this. Less being in the code all day, and more handling what you want the result to be.

Learn what a software architect, possibly a solutions architect does. You may need a few more years experience in software development, but those types of roles deal with more of the expected result, without having to deal with the day-to-day programming details.

I think the problem is an attribution of intent. You see "white nationalism" but:

> Making people sleep in cages

There was a spike in the number of illegal immigrants in the last few years, facilities were swamped. This was an unfortunate but temporary measure. It would be more irresponsible to just release people into the country without establishing their identity, criminal history, or a suitable guardian (for children).

> Limiting supplies / legal assistance

There are a finite resources, especially when one party sees every penny spent on immigration matters as "racist". Politicians were sounding the alarms months before this reached crisis-levels, but the other side refused to release a single penny until after it reached critical levels.

> Separating families

When an adult and a child arrive illegally with no documents you have two major facts to deal with: the adult has just broken a law, and you cannot establish familial ties. Given the extent of child trafficking, would you rather just give any adult that says "that's my child" custody, or would you rather separate the child from the adult until you can establish if that is actually a parent? You are damned either way because your critics will say you're "separating families" or "you're a pedophile helping traffic children". Personally, I would rather be told I'm splitting families than enabling child trafficking, but I could see the argument against that preference.

So at the end of the day none of these things are happening because of white nationalism. They are happening because of an inability to control illegal immigration rates, a lack of funding for facilities, materials, and legal aid; and in order to protect minors who may be trafficked.

To me, that is the real problem. One side of the media/political spectrum has decided it's white nationalism. The other sees it as something that has to be done because the alternative is worst. And to be charitable, I am sure there is a tiny fraction of a percent of a segment of the population and people involved who are white nationalists, but to think that's the motivating force is to dismiss the vast majority of people who have good intentions.

What is also exponentially annoying is that both sides have become so polarized that they will never work together on this.

This is really a great summary.
Everything about AlphaStar is typed and discrete. It has perfect inputs because it uses an API (and does not read pixel data).

Human limitations that AlphaStar shares:

- Data that requires the camera to see (e.g. enemy location, enemy HP)

- Inability to examine/target cloaked units

Possibly unfair, super-human things AlphaStar has access to:

- Instantaneous awareness of cloaked units

- Knowledge of things humans need to infer/click (e.g. upgrades)

- Global map awareness of unit positions (taking into account fog of war)

Definitely unfair:

- Can select arbitrary collections of units, including outside of camera view
By this definition panic can also be a instinctive (and rational) action -- sometimes just breaking paralysis and doing something is a statistically better than freezing in place. So it serves as an early interruption mechanism when the system doesn't have confidence that new solutions will be forthcoming in time to be useful.
What is "cheesing up"?
You edited your comment after I replied, so now my reply doesn't make sense. It's common practice in HN to note when you make an edit.
The video game examples they give are what's called Real Time Strategy which is quite different from the games you described in which players explicitly take turns.

Chess and Go are already quite different from NLH, because they are purely about strategy. The best strategy in Chess either wins or leads to a draw if played by both sides every game. In NLH an optimal strategy just breaks even (ignoring the rake) against other optimal players and makes money on average against anybody else. But over even a few hundred hands you can't tell.
I guess it's part of their mentality. Just take a look at how many Jewish people have won the Nobel prize. Sure, most of them weren't even Israelis, but it seems that intellectual prowess is part of their heritage.

Well, yes, you need to ramp up the difficulty in a way that's fun.

The article describes "exploiter agents that focus on helping the main agent grow stronger" as key to their approach. That seems promising? Maybe it could be used to make bosses with specific strengths and weaknesses where part of the game is figuring out how to beat them.
It is outrageous because in both instances we're talking about actual legal citizens being persecuted by their own government for belonging to an ethnic group, not a group of foreign nationals that illegally entered the country and are being held temporarily for criminal prosecution.
I don't mean to imply AlphaZero is not impressive; it surely is. Nor do I mean to imply that any of these advances aren't impressive. I do mean to imply that "closed-world games with well-defined rules" is a relatively small subdomain of problems. And that BERT looks pretty different from AlphaZero.
Hey! We're looking to evaluate TimescaleDB for a logistics IoT scenario. Some of the data that enters our system comes from connected devices where recorded_at and inserted_at columns are basically the same. Some data however is sourced from dataloggers that may record for months before the data arrives at our system.

With TimescaleDB, would I use the recorded_at or inserted_at column for the hypertable?

Does this change if data for an individual sensor can sometimes arrive out of order? If the sensor malfunctions and the data contains timestamps in the far past or the far future does this cause issues with TimescaleDB?

What we've done in postgres so far is have the tables with data generally structured around the recorded_at column because most analysis wants to look at the data "in order" . to generate reports, graphs, etc. Each data row also contains a "payload_id" relating it to a "payloads" table which helps group data by when it actually hit the system. Data processing has generally been built around the payloads and then query any additional data in recorded_at order on the main data tables if we need to look back or forward in time.
I see you haven't worked with a truly titantic amount of data then :)

Hi @pello, article author here.

One of the interesting things of our technique is that it doesn't require low-level changes to Postgres, and actually then works with any version of PG that TimescaleDB supports (currently PG10, 11...PG12 coming soon).

That said, we're excited by the work Postgres has been doing with pluggable storage, particularly how PG13 will further open up possibilities such as Zedstore, and look to see how we can then marry some of these ideas. In terms of feature-by-feature comparison, haven't yet dug enough into the details.

Aside, one interesting aspects of our approach is discussed in the article: Having a "hybrid" row/column, rather than purely columnar, can actually be beneficial for many time-series workloads that constantly query very recent data (e.g., for dashboarding) as well as to improve ingest rates (although some column stores do build a temporary in-memory row-based cache before batch writing a column).

Keep in mind that a critical element of political (and in broader scope, all) advertising, is that its effects are not simply limited to the direct recipient. Political advertising literally shapes representation and policy.

This is even more the case for narrowly targeted, and particularly negative / dissuading advertising. A chief tool and complaint in recent years has been of suppressing voter turnout, at times through issue advertising, but also specifically by spreading disinformation about candidates, voting processes, locations, times, and requirements.

Simply disabling advertising for a narrow range of users capable and motivated to block ads does not protect against the social consequences of such activities.

That's from someone who's not a free-speech absolutist.
I agree. I even asked https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/8zb9y1/state_of_swif....

For me, swift will be the ideal language (for syntax/style and performance ok for me). But is a deal killer that is not good on windows and no starter for android (that sadly, I need to support because is the dominant platform in my country).

If at least swift was great for backend/logic (ie: no UI on win/android/linux) it could be enough...
I meant that the review score should tell you whether or not you need to read between the lines. If you don't want to read between the lines, stick to results with 4+ star reviews (maybe 4.5+ star reviews). I _also_ read other reviews out of an abundance of caution and to give some insight into how the top results differ. We should be able to agree that this is not meaningfully "reading between the lines" even if we don't agree about the reliability of average review score as an indicator.
Looks good!

Depends on how you look at it. You have the freedom to leave your job and go work somewhere else. You can voice your opinion within the company but at some point the company is its own living breathing entity that is not behooven to you, unless your name is on the building.
It doesn't matter, this is a private company, if they don't want to fact check political ads then they should stop showing political ads.

It "works" because, legally speaking, it's the employer who decides when you can take vacation. Apart from some edge cases, the employer has the option to give your full vacation in one go but it also has the option to give it to you in two different periods (at most). No period may be smaller than 10 days. They have to notify you of your vacation period at least 30 days in advance.

In practice it really depends where you work.

In some jobs you will have a lot of latitude, and the employer will let you freely choose and only veto it if it's really disruptive (like everybody else in the team leaving at the same time). This is what I had experienced, working in IT.

I suspect that in some lines of work, like the service industry, you might be totally out of luck and have zero choice on the matter.

ELT has been around for 15+ years. Inmon refers to it as a Persistent Staging Area (PSA) in an Enterprise Data Warehouse.

The difference now is, you have Hadoop and cloud providers that will take credit cards and give you as much space as you can pay for. The concept is not new, it was just cost was a factor back then because capacity was fixed and memory was expensive.

the only thing that has changed is the commoditization of hardware has allowed for different behaviors that would have been cost prohibitive.

> See Deadspin for an example of the inverse

The Deadspin situation is in complete alignment with my original comment. One person was let go and a ton of other people left becuase they weren't going to put up with the same BS any more.

Deadspin is better off, they can continue to do whatever it is they are doing and it is either going to work or they'll fizzle out and die. Employees are better off because they can go seek a different environment where they are happy.
Usually because someone ends up betraying them, e.g. the Chicago Outfit. In other words, dishonesty ends up ruining them. So the comment still makes sense.

I am not an expert on this, but I have read that the problem with that sort of rocket is you have to go horizontally through the atmosphere for a long ways to get up to speed. That produces a tremendous amount of drag that requires a corresponding amount of fuel to overcome. With a regular rocket you go vertical from the start and get out of the atmosphere in a minute or two, and then turn horizontal to get into orbit, and that takes a whole lot less fuel.
