Man I feel old. :-/

Back when the web was young (before 1998 or so), webpages were generally static HTML files that you dumped in a directory and the webserver served up verbatim. There was no PHP, no Rails, no Django, and certainly no Node. If you wanted to do anything dynamic - like serving up content that you, the webmaster, did not write yourself - you had to write a custom webserver. Remember, this was back when C was the most popular programming language, Java was for hardware devices, Python was for academics, and Javascript didn't exist. Not many people wanted to write their own webserver.

CGI was a specification that would allow the webserver to launch an external program - written in any language you wanted - in response to an HTTP request, send it the request data, run arbitrary code, and write the response back to the web browser. The query params and other information about the request (path, user agent, host, request method, etc.) would be passed in environment variables. POST data would be passed on STDIN. The program would write the output HTML to STDOUT, and the webserver would echo that directly back to the browser.

It was slow, it was clumsy, it was insecure, and it was magical, because you simply couldn't do simple stuff like read from a database and dynamically generate a webpage otherwise, unless you wanted to write your own webserver.

The lines that the grandparent posted would fire up a Perl script and then import the CGI module to parse all the input data (no such thing as JSON back then; if you wanted the actual query params, you got "/reply" in your $ENV['PATH'], and "id=21654788&goto=item%3Fid%3D21648568%2321654788" in your $ENV['QUERY_STRING'], and had to parse them yourself). It also enabled some warnings and error checks for Perl to avoid some of the worst security nightmares. This was even more magical, because Perl offered string parsing & construction utilities and database libraries that were much easier than C, and so you could quickly write useful websites that did stuff instead of hand-typing HTML into your editor.

Simplest explanation: many websites embed FB trackers/Like buttons in their pages. By visiting the website, you told FB you like shoes from that company, hence the targeted ads.

Occam's Razor.
That was my first thought as well, but scanning out that resolution should use less than 1 GB/s of memory bandwidth which is nowhere close to the DRAM speed. And usually in that situation you get horizontal speckles in the video output.

No knowledge, but at least for my searches it has a definite edge against ddg. (I am European.) What I especially like is that in many cases qwant returns nothing if there is no exact match of my query (typically I made a typo.) I kind of like the feeling that the engine tries to search what I tell it to search, not what it thinks I want to search.
Monitors creating harmonic interference with wifi is a very common problem, and most computers don't give any warning of this. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to say "the wifi won't connect, it may be because of your refresh rate".
> Private healthcare is almost a scam. It allows providers to charge much higher prices (thus increasing premiums) and makes affordable healthcare even more inaccessable.

Could you back that up? Are you talking about a specific country, or all manners of private healthcare?

As far as I can tell, the least regulated bits of healthcare systems that people pay out of pocket for tend to have done the best in terms of cost control.

Eg few if any insurances around the world pays for laser eye surgery. And it's one of the few common healthcare procedures whose costs have dropped massively in recent decades.

> A Medicare levy, while not ideal, is a fair system. You don't pay it if you don't pay tax, it is proportionate to your income, and it allows a basic level of care for those who need it. Everybody needs eye checks. Poor people get them for free. People earning an income pay for them.

That seems like a good argument in favour of taxing the well-to-do to give the poor money. That's a fine decision for a democracy to make.

But I don't see the argument of forcing the poor to spend that money on healthcare instead of letting them decide what's best for themselves. Do you know what they need better than them?
I got burned by this. I worked at a Google spinoff as the first non-Google backend engineer. The documentation was atrocious and so was the onboarding process so I took the time to fix the problems for the next new hire.

I was then told the new hire got up to speed faster than I had (no shit) and that this reflected negatively upon me.

> Hence I have written the following simple routine, which may separate the man-compilers from the boy-compilers.

I don't think it would be considered very accurate/proper these days to use 'man' and 'boy' to differentiate between something that is better than the other. Which makes this tidbit from Donald Knuth seem delightfully anachronistic.
There's more to it than just sign stealing. The Astros were the team that, allegedly, made "Moneyball" work well enough to win the Last Game of The Season. That they've been accused of stealing signs is a stain on that legacy.

I guess it actually should be doable. In theory, all it has to do is link to the correct symbols in libc.so (or the respective library.) That doesn't seem like it would require a C compiler, so as long as the ABI is guaranteed to be stable, and the Go linker is capable of handling it.

Though one unfortunate aspect of this is even despite that, once they DO flip the switch, all old Go binaries will stop working.

(Though really, Go binaries don't have a long shelf life, because you have to recompile them when new security patches are released anyway. So maybe that is a non-issue.)

For me college is not a business, same as basic health care. Education is not a business. But then I guess I am used to that way.

But let's stick to college as business. You say tuition is to expensive. A college needs professors, equipment, buildings, employees. All that costs a ton of money. If they are not government owned, they have to cover that plus profits. And they cannot decrease tuition fees. So as long as college are businesses they have to be expensive. Your average studies in Germany run somewhere around 100k Euro if memory serves well, stuff med school and engineering tend to be higher.

In my opinion, a society can only benefit from making education as accessable as possible for everyone. The one thing nobody can take away from you is your knowledge, so the more you have the better yptu are off. That also means there is no such thing as "useless" knowledge. That you only need part of what you learn in school in your future professional life is true. Still nobody knows where you will end up when you are an adult. So the younger you are the broader your education has to be. As you progress, education becomes more specialized up to a point. From there on it is experience and dedicated training on the job.

Sometime you have a platform, sometime you don't have one, get over it.
If you haven't tried this, you should. The type of feedback you get is proportional to the fidelity of your mock up.

Do a high-fidelity, fully realized html mockup, and you're more likely to get feedback about the little details like fonts, colors, icons, spacing, wording and maybe minor tweaks to the layout.

Draw a really low-fidelity mockup with a sharpie or on a whiteboard, and you're more likely to have a good discussion about fundamental layout/concepts, overall approach, etc, without anyone getting hung up bike-shedding about the details.

I think a lot of this has to do with perceived effort: if people think you spent hours building it, they're less likely to suggest a change that would throw most/all of your work out. This doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't prepare ideas/drafts beforehand if you want to, nor that you shouldn't increase the fidelity as you iterate.

I've tried many tools for this, but personally all the best and most fulfilling [early] design discussions I've ever had involved standing around a whiteboard.
The paper says more than just that they are GPs, I believe it shows that the NTK (Neural Tangent Kernel https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07572) of a large class of ANN converges at initialization. This NTK allows one to gain insight on the training of NN : speed of convergence, artifacts which can appear (checkerboard patterns can be explained with NTK), generalisation of the NN...

Would be nice to get the same result during training for all these architectures and I believe it will be the next paper of G. Yang and I eager to read it.
I’m sorry but this looks like crap.

I’ve designed my apartment with openjscad (which I find way easier than any UI tool when you have actual measures) and rendered it in blender.

Perhaps the rendering part is a bit more work, but in the home redesign space a few hours doesn’t really count...
Doctors and nurses don't work for free. Neither do bakers.

So what's the argument that suggests poor people need to be given healthcare, but not bread?

I suggest to just give them money, and then they can buy the bread and healthcare they need.

(And that's a general principle.

However giving goods and services directly does make sense for non-excludable public goods. Eg don't give poor people money to procure national defense. Just provide national defense directly with tax payer money.)
Indeed GANs are showing very promising results. There's a series of blog posts from Fernando de Meer which discuss this topic in a very approachable way.

Always kept that in mind. The author himself is a product of his time not of ours.
For those downvoting, this comment does have a nugget of truth: it holds if the materials are equivalent. Curved surfaces are a lot stiffer and deform less easily than flat surfaces because they have some out-of-plane depth to their overall shape.

If you formed curved sheets out of this steel, it'd be tougher again than it is with flat surfaces.
Women have started having children throughout the aeons at a very early age.
It is onĺy in the last 80.000 years that humans have made the conscious connection between sex and having children.

Womens fertilty declines sharply in their 30' and it is through conscious understanding of that fact and imitation that they think "their biological clock is ticking"; they consciously understand that it is now or never, that all their friends have children and that their looks and chances of attracting mates are fading.

Also, I'm willing to bet that people in the "my biological clock was ticking" camp have much, much lower birth rates than average(probably close to 1), which is an indicator rhat they actually felt pressured not to be childless rather than a genuine desire to have childreN.

I absolutely agree with your culture argument, I am just claiming that modern culture will go extinct unless we incorporate higher birthrates into it, not that the human species will go extinct.
From the article "According to the Center for Responsive Politics, for example, the AOA spent $1.8 million on lobbying and another $1.4 million on campaign contributions in 2016."

I agree 100% with what the author but the combined $3.2 million does not seem like much compared to how much Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple spent on lobbying:- $63 million.

Best bet is probably the device tree.
Gosh, it's sure clear that you don't know what you're talking about.

At 5 ply, the complexity of the game hasn't started in any meaningful way. In a typical game, that's 4 corner moves, and then one of a: an approach to a corner (kakari), b: an enclosure (shimari), c: a wedge (waruichi) or d: creating a side framework (such as the Chinese fuseki or Sanrensei). There are some odd opening such as tengen, or corner-corner-corner-kakari which typically turns into a sente fight, but 99% of games will fall into the aforementioned pattern. The database you describe is about as useful as a database of amateur games, since most games, including AlphaGo's games, follow just a few basic openings that early, and even amateurs can play these first few moves "correctly".

Even if you get out to 10 ply you're still only getting partway into a single joseki sequence, often leaving three whole corners of the board which haven't even been approached, so this database still isn't very useful.

Incidentally, your numbers are also wrong. Symmetry reduces the first move to 55 possibilities, not 96, and there are 361 points on the board, not 381.
What's with the rash of accounts with hex/base64 names today? They've been popping up all over.
It has always amazed me how one can be a part time CEO, let alone CEO at two companies simultaneously. How would a board even allow that?

You could start buying income producing assets.

You could buy real estate and rent it out.

You could also buy an existing profitable business from a motivated seller (owner is wants to retire or tired of the business). Then you use your tech skills to add value to the business. This is potentially less risky than starting one from scratch but you got to pick a good deal.

Also how are your finances? Credit Score? Any bad dept? do you have an emergency fund? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? If you are planning to do this you should definitely get your finances in order. You cant focus on making more money on a sinking ship.

You are earning a lot than most people. It's completely in your reach to become a multi millionaire if you make the right financial decisions. Go for it and strive for financial independence.

Also how are your expenses? If you are living in silicon valley I imagine that the bills there getting a large chuck of your income plus the taxes in California.
AMP experience infuriates me. I'm used to the browser native gestures and AMP takes over it all in a way that breaks my muscle memory. I have blacklisted Google News and switched to DDG because of it.

If I had the time I'd work on a Reddit clone without the new redesign and ads. Run it completely funded by Wikipedia-style donations, then turn it over to the community for governance.

Reddit's money grabs piss me off.

To bootstrap the thing I'd crawl Reddit and copy threads, users, subreddits, comments - everything. Users could prove account ownership or create any account that wasn't already allocated. If Reddit sues, they'd face backlash. Comments all used to be GFDL (then Creative Commons) anyway.
There's also a difference between reskinning a search engine and aggregating other engines' results with your own.

No I highly doubt it. This is most likely as they say a GDPR issue. Per the GDPR they'll have to keep track of which users have agreed to which version of the ToS and Privacy Policy and make sure that they only process their data in accordance. This is a PITA, much easier to deem accounts inactive and delete their data. They've probably been contacted by the data commissioner of some EU country and asked nicely to comply with the GDPR.

A second, somewhat related issue, is that these inactive accounts might also be used by all the russian state trolls. It's much harder to detect when old accounts start doing suspicious things than brand new ones, especially if you don't have a robust process in place for flagging inactive users.
It could be a variety of reasons.

If you forced me to guess though, I think the most straightforward, simplest one is that threatening account deletion is a good way to force older users to become active again, which will increase engagement on their platform and allow them to deliver more ads. In other words, the same reason that Facebook will start spamming your email if you stop logging in.

I can't imagine any manager at Twitter would be upset about the idea that a substantial portion of their dormant userbase would be effectively "forced" to log in every 4-5 months or so.
This is great I like it
I don't agree with how likely this is given the specificity of the bug, but should be super simple to test.

It was ultimately with the router. Specifically With NAT and 2.4 band. 5g kept going just fine. After looking at the manufacturers website the solution was to either buy a new router or disable port mapping.
The Vox piece is garbage. There is only one bit of evidence that could at least support a causation between gun ownership and gun crime, and that’s the chart comparing gun ownership rate by state. But the chart Vox uses lumps in people exercising their own right to end their lives with gun crime. The chart of gun ownership rate versus homicide rate shows no correlation: https://medium.com/handwaving-freakoutery/everybodys-lying-a...

Additionally, the international comparisons ignore the fact that the US, like the rest of the new world, has long had higher homicide rates than Europe, even before gun control and even back when guns were prevalent in Europe.

About 43% of American households own a gun. Norway, France, and Canada are all above 25%. Finland is at 50%. https://www.ippnw.org/pdf/mgs/7-1-cukier.pdf. Articles like those on Vox tend to focus on number of guns (Americans tend to stockpile them), but the figures for percentage of households with access to a gun aren’t as radically different in the US as in some other countries.

But homicide rates in the US are radically different, and always have been. The homicide rate in France has been 1 per 100,000 or less since the 1940s. The lowest the homicide rate in the US has ever been is 4-5x higher than that.

All of that is false.

I've seen people doing that stuff get yearly pay that is about the price of a house. That is good pay. I've seen stock given, and I've seen bonuses that seem nice, but it makes more sense to focus on pay. The pay is fine.
I tried DDG a while ago and it didn't feel natural to me. It will be so hard for me to change a search engine after using Google for 20 years. I am too attached to this search engine and it is good enough for my needs. I rarely change things that are working for me. It feels strange for me when I am using other search engines. I feel like I am cheating on my spouse. The first thing I do when I buy an iPhone is to hide Safari and download Google Chrome. Same thing when I buy a new Windows laptop, or reinstall Windows, I use IE/Edge to download Chrome and never use IE/Edge again. Chrome is the main reason I haven't switched to another search engine. It works better with Google apps and I rely on Google apps a lot.

I would be pleasantly surprised if one of the big tech companies was deciding policy based on actual technical problems rather than politics/'business' reasons/whatever junk science is trending today. That would make a nice change.
Every SoC I've dealt with containing a WiFi core has a dedicated coprocessor (RPU is a common name, depending on vendor) running its' own firmware. So more likely, _that_ core would go funky, then crash. The kernel might have code to recover that, but I doubt it, and it certainly would complain the whole way as you say.

> Tech companies (Google, Apple) don't custom-tailor their maps because they want to. They do it because the states use leverage to force them into it. And the states do it to promote the idea that the disputed territory is theirs.

So what? Google wants people to use their map software. By showing variations of the map depending on what the official stance of the regional government is, they are ensuring that their map software is available in that region and fits the context of that country.

There is a Russian narrative for Crimea being theirs. There is a Ukrainian narrative for Crimea being theirs. It's not Google's place to decide between them, it's their place to create a map people can find things on.

It does not matter what you, I or Sundar Pichai believe is the truth of whom Crimea should belong to. Their product is a map and it's available in Russia, Ukraine and Crimea. In fact, by presenting all the credible alternatives in this case (for Russia's side, they currently administrate the region and for Ukraine's, it was very recently their territory), they are being apolitical about it.
