Honestly, you should put this quote in bold letters atop that article:

> I mostly just shrug if some big advertising/surveillance company's email system won't deliver my mail, I just won't email that person.

Because that changes the tone of the opening paragraphs significantly:

> Luckily, running your own mail server is not as daunting as many would have you believe.

Sure, if you can afford to shrug off deliverability issues to major e-mail providers. Then it is, I daresay, a walk in the park!
Remote employees account for a very tiny percentage of the job market, to the point where it quite literally doesn't matter.
I feel like the decision is very different if you’re gay (speaking as a gay male). Urban centers are pretty much the only places with gay culture, and the idea of moving outside of one of those centers is hard to imagine. It’s tough because I also want the lower cost of living of living away from SF/LA/NY but feel like it would be especially lonely to move to a small or even mid-sized city that has a small or non-existent gay scene.
A fascinating read. Is there a sane way to fix this in a future version of glibc?

I'm particularly interested in this part, because this does seem to be the weakest part of my idea. Do you have any links with more information?
You can manually make it always on by just cutting the switch and splicing the wires together. That's probably what fixed the button - jamming a screwdriver pushed the switch/contacts together.
I agree with what you are saying with regards to the tendency of the platform. But, aside from the weight of unnecessary/unused browser features, I think that has more to do with the needs of the developers attracted to the platform more than the platform itself.

"The needs" being a requirement to ship a MVP ASAP using developers that can agree on a lowest common denominator language of js.

How are we certain that he did in fact steal the poster? For all we know he could have been entirely innocent and any other tourist could have been arrested and tortured for forged reasons too.
I didn't make it past the signup. Just wanted to have a look...

Also why not use standard identity providers?

Also, why not make your front page actually say something useful? There are lots of words, no real content. Also, the project tool seems to indicate it's been dead for 4 months?
Stadia is going to fail hard in any place which isn't San Francisco I think or some other cities where internet is both mega fast and no bandwidth caps.

I'm in London here and the internet is so crap you wouldn't believe. I have a 300GB bandwidth cap and am lucky if I get 20MBit. And this is the best it gets at my place which is 20 mins from center of London.

I've seen it happen with Austin and Seattle as well -- both of which have no state income tax -- which is a nice pay increase, even if you're grossing the same amount.
Plenty of MMO code is single threaded. And almost none of it needs much RAM. They may happen to put it on big servers because it's slightly cheaper to use big servers, but that could easily be configured to use tiny servers.

Handling a thousand people in the same spot can be done on any size of server, and most of the time you're looking at under a hundred.

I mostly listened to software engineering radio, software engineering daily, talking machines, this week in machine learning, village global, freakonomics, econtalk and other similar tech and business shows.

Most of the content in those shows is still fluff and nowhere near as information dense as a lecture from Stanford or MIT. Take talking machines as an example, an interview with a guy like David Blei will be very shallow and watered down for the general audience, I'd much rather listen to him give a lecture at a machine learning summer school.
I used this to replace an aging ElasticSearch implementation our company was using. Simple and fast, and 1 less piece of tech in the stack to maintain. Postgres really is a brilliant piece of software. Yeah I know paid solutions which arguably work better exist, but for a "free" product Postgres does astoundingly well in many areas.
I agree with the other comment! The best time to learn is now. You're never too old.to learn about how all of this works.
Yes, was attempting to pay full amount. Couldn't remember my PIN to unfreeze my credit, and just seemed like it would be easier since I was in a position to pay in full.
> I disagree. I'm of the opinion that DoH brought with it a security problem that is difficult to resolve. It does provide additional security in another area, but that's not something that couldn't have been done using a more reasonable approach that didn't hamper my ability to control what's happening on my own machines.

How do you distinguish, at a technical level, your ability to control what's happening on your own machines versus someone else's machines? Assuming that you're referring to using your control over the network, and given that it's very common for people to connect to networks controlled by entities they don't trust.
I have read articles on the topic but am too lazy to dig them up. However https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidirectionality_hypothesis indicates that there is indeed a preferred direction for language to evolve.

Price transparency is a losing battle.

Let's say they make prices transparent. You ask them about the cost of getting an X-ray done and they quote you $Number. You go and get an x-ray done and you're billed for $number plus a few extra thousand for any number of unknown costs.

Hospital billing is a lot like getting billed for internet/phone/cable etc. They'll throw all kinds of bullshit charges, ding you for not using certain things and more. Then you have to waste energy calling them up to talk with someone whose job is to get you off the line.

That's assuming you can even shop for your needs. If it's an emergency then you're screwed either way. The only change this would cause is that insurers and hospitals would adapt and figure out other ways to sneak in charges.

If you want to fix this problem at the core, then trying to make it more of a free market won't work. You need stronger oversight and control to keep things in check.
I don't like/didn't like this practice from DD (I think they're finally phasing it out after much criticism), but it worked exactly the same way tipping at restaurants works, so that is a precedent they can call upon as well.
This is not correct. Clauses of a predicate are evaluated in order, which can be significant if, for example, you want to do in-order vs pre-order vs post-order traversal of a binary tree.

inorderTraversal(t(V, L, R), Z) :- inorderTraversal(L, Z).
inorderTraversal(t(V, L, R), V).
inorderTraversal(t(V, L, R), Z) :- inorderTraversal(R, Z).

Also, the meaning of ordering of goals with a rule may be significant:

?- not(member(X,[a,b,c])), X=f.
false.

?- X=f, not(member(X,[a,b,c])).
X = f.

Although Prolog aspires to represent logic, it is still really just a logic-flavored programming language.
Yes. They've published quite a number of papers on their recommendation algorithms. You can take a look and decide for yourself whether it's snake oil or not.
Though, that has 2 zeros, a positive and a negative one, but zero should be neither. To avoid that, you can do:

data Int = Zero | NonZero Sign PositiveInt
data PositiveInt = One | Succ PositiveInt
data Sign = Positive | Negative

I would love to do it again. Mail stopped inboxing, ever, with people I regularly corresponded with in the mid 2010s. I had to stop.
Studying Latin and Ancient Greek in high school unlocked so much knowledge and intuition for me:

* Easy to grok how Romance languages work (French, Italian, etc), you can make up a lot of vocabulary on the spot, knowing Latin, and still be right

* Borrowed words from Latin in whatever language (English, German) are intelligible, you don't have to learn their meaning because it's a composite of something Latin

* THis immediately affects your expression in writing as well as speech positively

* Fantastic literature in original script readily accessible

* Many good hours spent with improving the translations of especially tricky passages, analyzing sentences and grammatical structures had great overlap with how I approached thinking deeply about my other passions, Math and Astronomy so I got better at both groking and structuring information as well as patterns of thought when it comes to analyzing interesting problems. Honestly, at the end of high school I hadn't cared had I become a classical philologist if not for the earning prospects of that path.

In contrast, how English was taught as a foreign language never came close. It was a totally uninspiring experience.
Reduces taxes. Problem solved.
And the contrast does not look nearly as good as pen & paper.
Hero Trainer: In-Game Rewards for Exercising
I think all I can do is repeat myself: (1) don't comment about shilling (astroturfing/bots/trolls/spies) unless you have specific evidence, keeping in mind that the presence of opposing views is not evidence; (2) don't post flamebait, including nationalistic flamebait. If I apply those principles to your GP comment, most of it would disappear. Perhaps there's a version of it that could be rewritten not to violate them, but I'm not so sure.

I believe you about intent, but the sad fact is that intent doesn't matter in cases like this, because the dangers are mechanical and predictable. Arson is worse than negligence, but from a fire-prevention point of view there's little difference; and since many more fires are started by negligence than arson, it's the bigger problem.
Hmm, for the retail options? Or the premium options? We were a nine-fig customer and it was quite nice.
I mean if you wanted the inline body to be visible to C++ you just have to slightly reorganize the ctype.h header so those definitions are available to C++ code (i.e., visible when __cplusplus is defined), because right now the bodies are getting caught the same #ifdef net that macro definitions are (but the body is not a macro).

That said, any exposure of implementation details, including inline bodies like this, is risky and constraining for future changes, since you bake in part of the implementation and also commit to supporting that implementation as far as you backwards compatibility strategy requires.

So it is entirely possible that the non-inlining is intentional, but then the part about include ordering mattering doesn't make sense, and if you are willing to commit for C programs, you are probably willing to commit in C++ too. You'd have to really spelunk the history of this files or ask the people responsible to be sure.

It seems more likely that that conditional compilation block is intended to avoid implementing standard library functions as macros, which is probably barred by the C++ standard (e.g., so you can use the name `std::tolower`) - and the inline bodies just got caught in the crossfire.

If the goal is simply to maximize engagement, there is no hard requirement that the algorithm should never show you things that you dislike. Essentially, what I am saying is that your belief of what their objective function is may be different from their actual objective function, and that is in no way an indication that their model is a failure.
I have been talking about PHX having a mini boom of IT jobs. The cost of living has taken a hit though.

For a modern reader, I'd agree. I don't think the Greeks especially saw the message as being anti-violence, except in the sense that Achilles' rage goes too far, say. Their society was in a warlike stage, and their heroes died glorious deaths, that was what they expected from a good story.

I'd like to think that at least some modern literature is thought-provoking; I'd even say that Hollywood sometimes makes films which are unexpectedly deep (though they tend to be smaller-budget than the superhero stuff). That said, given that billions of dollars go in, what comes out is... not very impressive.
The Duke of York speaks to Emily Maitlis about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him.
Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F

In a world exclusive interview, Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis speaks to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York at Buckingham Palace.

For the first time, the Duke addresses in his own words the details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

In 2015, Prince Andrew was named in court papers as part of a US civil case against Epstein.

The Prince, who is the Queen’s third child, also answers questions about the allegations made against him by one of Epstein’s victims, and discusses the impact of the scandal on the Royal family and his work.
Depends on the country. France doesn't let you disown your children.

No matter how much you hate them, they're getting at least half. 75% of it if you have 3 children.

Of course you could make sure there's nothing left. A risky bet with their life expectancies.

This seems really dependent on finding a good company with openings, which is not always the case. I tried to stay in the Midwest as a recent cs grad with an internship under my belt, but after spending 4 months doing job search I just gave up and went coastal.

1. The offers I got were abysmally small and out of touch with the market even when adjusting for my experience and local cost of living.

2. Most places were either extremely poorly reviewed on glassdoor, or were not hiring junior/midlevel developers.

3. Places I interviewed at were using ancient software stacks from 2000-era that would have hampered my professional growth.

Until all these things are fixed and accounted for there is no way brain drain is going to stop. I literally spent 4 months interviewing, fully willing to relocate in the general Midwest to stay in a smaller more affordable town within reasonable driving distance of my family. If people want to keep smart people around, give them reasonable offers in line with the global market, and take risks on junior developers.

We have a blog post about our transition to the BSL from the GPL:

https://www.zerotier.com/on-the-gpl-to-bsl-transition/

I don't think the BSL is perfect. We're thinking and discussing with a number of people about potentially better licenses that would be closer to traditional FOSS while preventing "SaaSification" and similar. I think we're in the early stages of a renegotiation of the open source social contract and I don't think we've figured out the best model yet.

The AGPL is close but suffers from two problems: (1) it isn't perfect either and has numerous loopholes, and (2) there are a ton of companies out there with an irrational but nevertheless very entrenched phobia of anything associated with the GPL (as we have discovered). Maybe something a bit like the AGPL but not GPL branded would work.
I work remote this year I have

You're straining pretty hard for several of these examples, and/or hitting far wide of the mark.

Relative to religious oppression in numerous countries (Uighurs in China, current news, any apostasy (alternate religions, atheism) in several countries, religiously-linked laws again in numerous jurisdictions), a phrase on currency, whilst strictly clearly in conflict with the amendment, is fairly low stakes. The de facto religious tests for officeholders in much of the US would be a better example.

Amendment 3 is tested so infrequently largely on account that the practices it defends against simply are not practiced except by very remote, very rare parallels. (There was a more recent case in Nevada several years ago, though ultimately the principle wasn't tested.)

I'd disagree on the 10th / commerce clause in that the effects of commerce are highly externalised. There's little way to reconcile the conflict here.

I'd be more willing to go with your 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th examples, though even in the case of the 8th, what's now considered "cruel and unusual" differs widely from what was seen as such in the 1780s.

More generally, circumstances have changed (and judicial interpretation is so conservative) that many of the concerns of the late 18th century translate poorly to the early 21st.

I'd also argue that it's a distributed set of concerns, and capacity to act on account of those, which almost certainly matters more than words on paper (or velum), no matter how revered.

That's not what this article is about. The key word is "superstar".

> Supervised learning in machine learning is nothing remotely like a human teaching anyone anything.

I disagree, I think it's exactly the same. As an example, a human teaching a human how to use an orbital sander to smooth out the rough grain of a piece of wood.

The teacher sees the student bearing down really hard with the sander and hears the RPM's of the sander declining as measured by the frequency of the sound.

The teacher would help the student improve by saying, "Decrease pressure such that you maximize the RPM's of the sander. Let the velocity of the sander do the work, not the pressure from your hand."

That's a good application of supervised learning. Hiring the right candidate for your company is not.

You are right in a narrow sense. Yes, you can construct a situation that makes "betting 99.99% of my wealth" profitable. But:

* You're assuming the winning probability p does not decrease as the odds Y goes up. This is a silly assumption. Do you really believe that the probability is all the same when "Hay I will pay you 2000 livres tomorrow" and "Hay I think I can pay you a infinite amount of livres tomorrow"?
* For example, if p = 1 / (odds), then E(log) never goes to infinity.

If you really assume that there is 1/10000 chance that the mugger can pay you an infinite amount of money, then ...... why not? You can just start a hedge fund on that. You'll gather 100000 people and make them bet independently with muggers, then there is 99.99% of chance that someone actually gets an infinite amount of returns. Now everyone is happy receiving an infinite amount of money.

We are very good at finding patterns where there aren't any but it's important to remember that random is actually the best answer a lot of the times.
