I work for a company that produces ingestible goods. Having worked for Amazon previously, I knew select brands were allowed to be “gated”, that is, only be sold by authorized resellers. Imagine my surprise when Amazon repeatedly denied us the ability to gate our brand. As a consumer, I’d like to know that an ingestible good comes from a reputable source - more so than a Coach purse. The whole experience really shot Bezos’ “customer centricity” principle in the rear for me.

Amazon could greatly improve its counterfeit issue by giving manufacturers more control over their brand. That, to me, is the root of the issue.
Yep, Google handles the most search queries of any site. Youtube is #2. Google has well over 50% of the market and over 50% of what's left over through Youtube too.

Having written maybe two lines of Go, many years ago, I guess I'm surprised that all of these cases make it past the type system. Like shouldn't it bitch if you try to return nil when it's expecting a non-nil value or an error? I guess I'll go try to find an online go thinger to find out.
I bought one and used it for a year in college and ran a custom Linux ramdisk OS with a few different chroots on the EMMC. A lot of these things can’t really run Windows (I never tried but I’m told they can boot into the copy they ship with a few times but probably don’t last and certainly can’t update.) setting up Linux on them requires a lot of care (I had to build a custom kernel to get graphics on mine to work at all.) It’s better to think of them like a weird embedded device that happens to be mostly compatible with desktop computers.

Yes it’s EMMC (think SDcard but without a socket, it’s not super fast) and most OSes let you use that as a block device (and most of the firmware will let you boot from it.) Mine had an SDcard socket that I used for really big stuff (anything closed source, any builds so I didn’t burn the EMMC out, and anything I needed to run in wine.)
At my organization (large thinktank that works with IGO’s) we use mensa testing and have a bias towards pattern recognition. Its not perfect but it serves as metric for aptitude.

If someone is building this device to protect one's private keys from the three-letter agencies, one may want to completely shield the Geiger counter and its radiation source with thick lead. Otherwise, the NSA may decide to remotely influence the behavior of the random number generator by beaming lethal level of gamma radiation toward the generator, and they would not care whether you are killed in this process. /joke

It doesn't make sense to me that it would be expensive to model. It's just four line segments.

The math seems like it would be preposterously difficult. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Seems like a very serious algebra problem. But once you solve the equations I can't imagine it's more than a few matrix operations each frame.

But it's entirely possible I'm missing something that makes it unsolvable without discrete math that pushes it into the computationally costly realm.
> It appears to be specific to Java. Other languages don’t seem to exhibit high memory usage with the same frequency or severity as Java, and that’s not because developers of other languages spend more time optimizing.

It's because Java has strict memory limits. The limit of a bad C++ app is your machines whole memory (in theory more), so most people never notice if an app continues to leak memory or has weird memory spikes where it needs ten GB instead of one for a minute before it goes back to normal. Java forces you to either look at it or go the lazy route and just allocate more RAM to the JVM. Whatever you choose, you at least have to acknowledge it, so people tend to notice.

I didn't think it was obvious.

The original author never said these life changes made him a less valuable or effective employee.

The original author wouldn't advocate against his own interests, i.e. tell other companies not to hire people like him.

The original author never made any claim about losing overall productivity, only that having a child changed his feelings on what holds priority in life.
The school system I work for has thousands of devices with these. They're basically like an SD card for a camera soldered to the board. They do not have the wear leveling and other shit a real SSD has.

They're slow, (comparatively) unreliable and small. Because they're on the board a bad one means a new mobo which is generally not cost effective so it's done. I hate them and the cheap shitty hardware that they come with.

I'd like to point out that these came before Chromebooks but Chromebooks are also using them because they use the same shitty hardware as the cheapest Windows devices.

Sure, but how is that intuitive?
> A moral person is someone who cooperates with other moral people, and who refuses to cooperate with immoral people.

One immediate property of this is it is too symmetric: assuming "honor amoung thieves" (immoral people cooperate with immoral people and refuse to cooperate with moral people), it is unchanged under interchange of "moral" and "immoral". That is, it can't tell you whether it's calling good "moral" or evil "moral".

Anyway, the circular definition I'm interested in is Sausserian structuralism: the meaning of a sign is determined by its place in a system of signs. I suppose in linguistics the article's construction then leads to eigenwords, but I am skeptical that eigenwords actually advance our understanding of semantics. I'm not as optimistic about the power of this construction to advance our epistemology as the author.

It is different. By setting a deadline at midnight, you’re setting a tone that work is expected to happen then.

In my undergraduate education, toxic behavior like this was common. One professor who was a particular asshole deliberately assigned onerous assignments to coincide with an assignment for another critical, difficult class that 75% of the students were taking. Academic hazing was pretty common in CS.
I would expect you'd have to go DEEP into cognitive science to find a good model for this stuff. E.g.:

If multiple suppliers ship same product to Amazon warehouses Amazon will ship closest one to buyer regardless who supplied it. In fact if the seller requests their goods back they won't get the same ones they sent to Amazon - they are mixed together with others sharing ASIN

There must have been an Amazon marketplace seller using same listing but shipping fakes. Or Amazon got duped.
I might be the only other person to solve multipattern regex searching. It’s easy conceptually, and fiendishly tricksy when you try to get the tests to pass. You want to take advantage of commonality between patterns but the matches must still be independent. The engine I wrote uses a classical interpreter backend, optimized well enough to beat TRE and the old PCRE handily. I’d read about the bit parallel algorithms and play with them a bit, but the pattern sets we’d throw at any given BP algorithm would break it, as any given BP algorithm comes with several caveats.

The genius of the HyperScan team is that they threw damn near every algorithm at their pattern sets, including some they invented, and divvied up the patterns into subsets that fit the particular algorithms well. Usually getting the tests to pass with one backend is the last act of any regex author—once it ain’t broke, you’re too exhausted to fix it. Contemplating the complexity that comes with a multi-algorithm backend makes me want to cry. But HyperScan did it.

So, to put it in perspective with linear algebra, imagine a library that first spent time analyzing given matrices, and then split them into submatrices and operated on them with different algorithms according to the particular patterns detected therein. That’s kind of insane to contemplate in a linear algebra—it’s really not a domain that compares well at all—but it’s how HyperScan works... and that ignores all the crazy ISA tricks it used.
I teach in CS and engineering in a US college. The biggest proportion of our MS students are from India. And I completely agree with what you say about the education system in India. Indian graduates can't program unless they had a job that trained them after they graduated. I have no idea what CSE students are supposed to be able to do, it seems they just memorized a lot of facts about technology with no deep knowledge about how to do anything with it. That would be a two-year degree in the US. In the US you have to be able to solve problems, write programs, etc to graduate a CS or engineering program. In India you clearly don't. That's why we get so many graduates from India and not enough from the US. The bar is just lower...
It's standard UI for keyboard focus across most operating systems. At some point, you're just going to have to know that space selects the item that the focus ring is around, just like you know that tab switches between fields.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that Jeff Bezo's online store should be forced to compensate Warren for all their lost business now and into the future, and to make sure that everyone knows they've been enabling the knock-off business. It's outrageous that Bezos enables this sort of "collateral damage." If he can't stop this sort of thing, he should be shut down.
That’s a great question, I’d say with the rise of Asia so many companies are targeting android and so Java engineers are arguably more in demand than swift engineers, I’ve heard a number of engineers say this and it’s consistent with my experience in the job market. So in my experience I’d say that java will be enough. As far as the best book focused on mobile I’m not exactly sure, because I learned through trial and error on my personal project and primarily through react native documentation - though I had a few years experience prior in python development. I’ve heard people recommend the book android development for dummies which is about 300 pages, but I’ve always believed the best way to learn to program is through trial and error on personal projects + by the end you’ll have something to show an employer, and over time your skills will get refined, especially working in a professional organization I’ve seen my skills increase exponentially

Ah, I see, thanks for clarifying. I misread the post then, since it mentioned SPIR-V.

Too bad Apple not only refuse to support Vulkan, but try to prevent using SPIR-V as well.
I think you’re right when you say it’s a good idea to learn your tools, no matter if the tools provides good or bad UX.

In the case of git status, I think the UX is simply bad, as evidenced by the replies and my usage of git. A text update could improve the command substantially - and perhaps a suggestion to run a git pull to update the tracking branch. I don’t think it’s reasonable to read a 456 page book on git
There are also bad drivers, so perhaps feeling alone in the car has some issues too.

No absolutely not (although compute shaders will be a thing).

Likewise. This article caught my eye, because it describes a phenomenon similar to one I've observed locally over the past year. I'd be curious about how well this meshes with what you've seen.

We have a fleet of (at least) 30 drones operating in a similar manner over Indiana. All of them reliably following paths between fixed waypoints. Upon reaching their waypoints, they tend to loiter place for a bit, change elevation, then move to the next point on their route. They typically come out around 7 pm, and disappear around 5 in the morning. They never fly in poor weather conditions.

The bulk of them seem to be Delta-wing aircraft, with lights at each point of their triangular bodies, and another array of three white, rectangular lights beneath them which will often flash, be disabled, or even on in lieu of the lights at their wingtips. I've estimated them to be between 6 and 15ft in wingspan.

They have a forward-swept vertical control surface with a red light at its apex, that I've variably seen at the top, and the bottom of the craft.

I've seen them fly forwards, backwards, and taxi side to side in rotating triangular formations of four, with one at the epicenter. They typically fly around 50mph.

They first appeared in the large numbers around south-central indiana July of 2018, but operate at lower densities across much of the southern half of the state.

I've always attributed it to the nearby naval warfare research center, due to the lack of public comment on the part of our local government, or regulatory bodies.

And... Woah. That's kind of horrifying to me (though I totally get the explicitness of it)... does this just mean liberal amounts of: thing != nil everywhere? Or is the rest of the memory management I guess, uhh.., good/magical enough you don't have to worry about it constantly in calls further down the stack if you've checked it once? Or are you always feeding the nil check beast?

Or you can use a boxed error iirc. Matching on the type of error after you do that isn't exactly great but it's doable if all you want to do is bubble the error up.

Places where that approach really sucks include web api routes (unless I haven't figured out a trick yet). For example, rocket defines Responder on Result so long as the ok and error variants both define it, but since a boxed error is erased it doesn't function correctly.

That's like criticizing a biologist for only studying nematodes. Research is specialized by its nature. She does say a bit about directing research to other languages.

One of my professors at UCLA has a very lenient policy - you lose 2^(n-1) points, where n is the number of days after the deadline you've submitted. This meant that turning in your assignment one or two days late was no big deal, but turning it in four or five days late would be pretty bad.
I checked them out. Great recommendation. Do you know how much they pay in London? I also noticed they have offices in los angeles. Do you know if someone from the UK can work in their US offices?
It doesn't. Even when commingling, they individually track each good. The only advantage is that comingling is faster and cheaper deliveries, because they can just and you the item nearest to your house.
That's the method described in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.03304.pdf on page 11:

> A fast clock (down) is used to increase a counter. Whenever a detection is made (up), the counter is read and reset, generating one random number.

> We restrict to a counter that generates values from 0 to M −1, a modulo M counter. When M = 2 we have a binary random number generator.

It doesn't have to be a millisecond timestamp, any clock that's much faster than the rate of decay should work. Every time a decay is detected, take the elapsed time in clock units mod 2 and that's your random bit.
so fun to look at these. I'd really enjoy going back and looking at some original Nintendo Power magazines sometime.
If the class is easy, then the half letter grade won't matter much and nearly everyone will get high scores, rendering attendance useless. If the class is curved, then boosting those that attend is functionally the same as penalizing those that do not.
Because that would take up more space letting fewer people fit on the bus. Most are designed to have half the people standing at peak times. Long distance train seats used to be really comfortable, but newer designs opt instead to fit more seats in each carriage.

I've found buses in London to be better optimized for people trying to get somewhere than in San Francisco. There are far more bus lanes, no waiting for people paying a cash fare, and wheelchair transport tends to use black cabs. People often take buses by choice as the alternative can mean being packed in like sardines on the Tube at rush hour. (Driving isn't really practical anywhere in central London.)
It's interesting to consider a thought experiment: what if the ozone depleting nature of CFCs had been discovered during the modern Internet age? Would the ozone hole be dismissed as a hoax? Would we be able to organize an international effort to successfully phase out CFCs?
I think that you are most likely correct that there are a large number of "public squares" and that people sometimes over state the importance of a given one. However, I still think it's likely that among those public squares, certain ones are more important than others. If I had to guess I would say that Hollywood, network news, and social media are the biggest players.

I suppose someone could probably do a study to try to determine which platforms are most important. For example, they could track where political slogans that eventually go mainstream originated.

Yes, whilst we have trading standards who have mystery shoppers to track down and then close down retailers and/or leverage large fines. The transition into the digital age has seen the model of enforcement fail to keep pace and whilst the Amazons and Ebay's have made some effort, the incentive and drives are lacking in clout to make any effort just scratch the surface. Which has like most, fallen to become consumer driven in a review standard open to all and with that, equally abused.

It is not until there is some major court case or other financial impacting precedent being set, that the current state will only carry on playing out.

Do we see more fake products on the high street than we do online, oh yes. It's small things like that in which fall into the additional costs of a bricks and mortar store over an online shop and also does entail more rules and regulations as well as checks.
