Name is dangerously close to WebNFS.
Yes, that’s my criticism as well: a single adj category has no meaning because there is two of adjectives in Japanese, one with verbal trait, the other acting more like nouns. The difference can and needs to be addressed in a grammar.

The grandparent point about recursive rule(s) is valid however and their easiness is one of my favorite things in Japanese grammar.

Anyway, the problem seems easy at first but it’s totally possible to vaste hours perfecting a grammar that still doesn’t capture frequently occurring construction (been there done that).
As an abstract concept, a company is a collection of individuals who have formed an agreement to perform certain actions with the intention of profit (profit may or may not be the core purpose of company though; eg the quote "Profit is like oxygen. You need it to survive, but if you think that oxygen is the purpose of your life then you’re missing something").

A sole proprietor pushing his services is the simplest example of being paid for advertising that is also clearly free speech. Where would you draw this line?

I have coded C since 1984, and C++ since 1988. I found Rust syntax extremely easy to switch to, but I found switching back to C++ syntax extremely difficult.

Do not learn Rust if you think you might need to code C++ or C ever again.

Rust probably should have used "." in place of ";". Or anything, really.

Exact status is of course hard to determine, especially with open sources, but see the Hwasong-14[1] and 15. Both missiles have flown on trajectories demonstrating enough performance to reach the USA, and at least the Hwasong-14 has been displayed on a Transporter-Erector-Launcher.

(Also, I hope you remember that they've got nukes now, partly courtesy of US domestic politics counting above mitigating real world problems)

No doubt the North Koreans still have a lot left before reaching the operational capability of the Russian road mobile ICBM forces, particularly with respect to accuracy and reliability. But nuclear weapons are not that picky with aiming, and numerical redundancy is certainly within the North Korean capability.

They probably expect to release them in drips over many years. The most enthusiastic fans will want to own every single "lost recording". To get the max profit they might release a new "collectors item" boxed set with a lot of known material and just a few of the "lost recordings", and the fans will buy it.

They are probably waiting for the opportune moment, which is when the band members die, since this will create renewed buzz around the band, and "lost recordings" are more interesting when the band is dead.

Many Pivotal teams do full time pair programming. Many don't. Pivotal Labs is pretty close to 100% because of its teaching role. Large parts of R&D practice 100% as a default with many local variations. Other parts of R&D don't practice anything resembling pairing.

All of this is presumably going to be in flux, now that the acquisition by VMware is complete.

> I have been learning how to code on windows, python can be downloaded easily from their website and is a lot easier than Java

Python is a great language, but the most serious issue with it right now is the split between Python 2 and 3. If you're just learning Python now, you're probably learning Python 3. But if you get a job working with Python, you will probably have to work with their Python 2 codebase, and eventually have to do the arduous task of converting 2 to 3.

This conversion is not difficult on an intellectual level, but it's incredibly time-consuming and boring, kind of like fixing Y2K bugs. Hopefully the Python community eventually comes out of this 2 to 3 disaster alive.

Indeed, no actual compiler or interpreter is needed. Or computer, really. Like the Lambda Calculus, it's a notation for expressing algorithmic ideas. The only right thing to do with an algorithmic idea is to analyze it. Executing just gets your hands dirty, and makes you smell bad.
Some ISPs offer YouTube/Netflix/Facebook for free. How do they monitor that?
In Poland, it is common for mobile ISPs to offer plans with limited amount of bandwidth per month, with exclusion of some popular apps. So for example all traffic from youtube is not counted towards the data cap, but any other casual everyday browsing is.

Aside from net neutrality issues, I am wondering how is this achieved in the HTTPS age? How does the ISP know which packets to count towards the data cap?

It doesn't seem to be per-app, and no proxy is installed. My guess is that it's done by some kind of packet inspection. But what exactly are they looking at?
Why are you specifically calling out Instacart? I’d estimate that maybe a third of all emails I decide to unsubscribe from do this. It’s a horrible behavior, for sure.
It's not 0.8 times size increase, it's a 0.008 times size increase, since the unit is percent. The latter seems pretty marginal to me.
P5.js (JavaScript) is a good starting point.
I take the view that the build turning red in CI should be a show-stopping surprise. But given the sheer volume of automation that occurs now I've seen that standard slowly abandoned from sheer signal fatigue. It's hard to notice a red box when you have hundreds of boxes on-screen and there are a sprinkle of reds.

I'm not sure if I like that state of affairs. It feels like eroding goals or a capability trap.
Although not taught in this manner, I learned all of my basic grammar from http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar (Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese Grammar). I've seen a lot of text books, but for me this was by far the best. There is a famouse Japanese grammar book that's written in Japanese and starts out writing with simple grammar to kind of bootstrap you, but I can't remember what it's called.

However,most of the stuff like the above that I learned actually comes from an NHK programme, "Kotoba man". It went into the history of vocabulary and grammar and after I watched as many episodes as I could find, the structure of the language really started to make sense to me.

I think part of the problem is that most prescriptive grammars for language are subtly incorrect. For example, what part of language is blue in "I am blue"? What part of the language is it when in "Blue is my favorite colour"? If they are different parts of language, what is the difference in meaning between the two? What if you said, "I am painting"? Or if you said "Painting is my favourite hobby"? What is the difference in meaning between the 2 uses (if any)? Is there a difference in the meaning of "am" between "I am blue" and "I am painting"? I think if you follow the prescriptive grammar of English, it will force you to answer the questions in different ways than your intuitive (internal) ideas. Or at least it did for me. Studying that sort of sentence in English helped me to study similar sentences in Japanese and puzzle out similar insights (or at least as imagined by me). YMMV ;-)

Thanks for this, very handy. Could you add some visual differentiation between focused cards and selected cards? It's hard to tell when I've deselected a single card without tapping away to lose focus.

> Please don't dilute the meaning of words like this.

It's a bad term, but telling people how to speak provoke's backlash and resentment. It's more effective to explain the effect phrases like this have on people (as you did) and let them make their own decision then telling them to not say it.
> Pretty much every time we picked an unfair - but fast - locking model in the kernel, we ended up regretting it eventually, and had to add fairness.

This is an interesting quote from Linus. I always thought that fairness was for the desktop and Linux had latency issues sometimes because it historically put the "big-iron" first.
Now this quote makes it seem that fairness is a good thing for the server as well and the preceding paragraphs hint that supposed latency issues are just a natural consequence of the trade off between throughput and latency.
Ultimately, a lot comes down to the accessibility of tools and know how. The more widespread and general a technique or tool, the more widespread and general it becomes... because people already have it and know how to apply it.

OTOH, these authors (and old school heavyweights like David Ferucci) are not wrong. Interpretability, explainability & interoperability with human intelligence is not something to just give up on.

I like "challenges" as ways of exploring these areas. Good luck to the authors. Female team, btw.
It should be enough to look at the IP address.
As long as Linus is blaming the work done and not the people behind it, that's fine. Something truly aggressive would be "This benchmark is garbage and the people responsible for writing it are monkeys on crack". He did such things in the past, but in the 4 emails I got to find on this specific benchmark, none of them critic people writing code.

I think Linus got upset that a badly designed benchmark got popular and therefor is spreading misconceptions. His strongly worded answer is getting popular too and as a result everybody learns and he has stopped an urban legend from spreading. A success on every points.

How much Linux is android though? Does Android feedback into Linux? This argument about Linux being the most popular consumer OS or Gaming platform thanks to Android sounds like Syria taking credit for the iPhone because of Steve Jobs being a Syrian by bloodline.

If you specifically want something in-browser then P5.js will do the job.

Ingesting data and evaluating it according to some model, sounds like what a good cluster node would do. No need to permanently store neither the data nor the output on the node itself, but you might want it to update its process via learning.

Disappointed to see the usual onslaught of HN cynicism.

"Product doesn't meet my narrow expectations; is bad product."

1. We use Slab. It's a fairly ok product in a crowded space. Needs maturity. Far better than confluence.

2. I have had no experience with the lag that another commenter insists is a product killer, and I write and edit docs all day.

3. The niche this product and others like it solve is to keep your entire company's docs organized and discoverable. Remembering to file things away correctly, share content, and do full text search on google drive is... not a good experience.

4. Editor is pretty solid and responsive. If you know markdown it's a breeze. Literally can't understand why you'd want to edit raw markdown when the WYSIWYG reflects markdown syntax as well as it does.
Maybe not in the US. It was pretty popular for example in the USSR back in 1980-90ies.
> In actuality, these are not adjectives! They are verb phrases!

I wish more learning material acknowledges this fact. This is why they can forms entire sentence by themselves. I also agree with your comment about plain form first. That’s why for the Japanese method I’m writing for a relative, I start with those predicative adjectives, then explain how は change the topic, etc.

Language methods should use the underlying logic and natural use of a language. I cringe each time I see something with lesson #1 begin "watasi ha gakusei desu" or the like because this is teaching bad habits from day one.
Where Zstd will reduce, say, 3x, Lz4 reduces only 2.5x. This doesn't seem very different until you look at it from the other end: my .zst file is 3.3 GB, but the .lz4 would have been 4 GB, which is 700 MB more.

Was a time when 700 MB mattered; it was as much as you could get onto a CD.

So, there is a place for each. I would set up the process to use Lz4 when testing, and Zstd for actual delivery to download archives.

In some circumstances, particularly when using a shared file server, Lz4 can be quite a lot faster than writing and reading data uncompressed.
For people from generations preceding ubiquitous web access TV is the most common/only low effort & cost entertainment.

If you counted stuff like browsing HN/Reddit/social media in addition to TV/streaming I'm sure most everyone would average more than 4h daily (maybe more on weekends, less on week days).
That is no different for serverless. You don't magically escape startup times - you need to carefully ensure that cold startup times are low enough, or that you maintain excess capacity to compensate.

The precise extent is different between different platforms depending on overheads, but that just means the point at which you need to trigger scaling is different.

You can find lots of descriptions of approaches people have taken to keep serverless instances running to avoid the cold start delays to work around this... For autoscaling groups you'd instead configure the alarm points used to trigger the scaling accordingly.

Serverless platforms tends to assume the startup will be fast enough to keep the connection open rather than return an error, but that is a load balancer config issue - you can set up retries and wait for other platforms too if it makes sense.

(Though for email this really does not matter - retries for all commonly used mail servers follow some form of exponential backoff up to many hours at least; retries works just fine in practice)
It is a pity that she mixed the gender issues and technology issues and it makes a lot of sense why she normally wouldn't.

Is the focus here the technical observations or the #MeToo observations? Because one of those is fairly noncontroversial and likely to promote generally nodding and murmuring. The other is going to start a flamewar about cases like Stallman's.
Your hunch would be wrong. North Korea has tens of thousands of short range artillery pieces, rockets and self-propelled missiles on the border 35 miles from Seoul. They are low-tech and would very reliably reduce Seoul and millions of people to rubble within minutes of any attack on North Korea with absolutely no way to stop them. This would occur even if North Korea was somehow unable to use any of their dozens of nuclear weapons and if all of their subs, planes and ballistic missiles failed.
My algorithm ( https://ichi.moe/ ) assumes almost nothing about the grammar and simply divides the sentences into the most valuable chunks (based on the word's length and how common it is), and then some sequences get bonus scores (for example noun followed by a particle). It performs surprisingly well in real life cases (where strict grammar is unlikely to be followed). I think it's the best algorithm that's currently available.

Economies of scale is still a thing. I’d rather a large solar farm handle it’s ecological consequences than spreading the (small but noticeable) damage around everywhere.

Certainly, ad hominem attacks are worse than making substantive attacks, but is that really the standard we should judge it by? Instead of a sprawling thread of visceral, wouldn't it be better if he just explained the reasons why the approach is bad in a professional manner?

Writing like this just seems sloppy and non-professional. It's rambling and unclear. It could have been far more effective if written point-by-point with far less emotion.
That is an interesting viewpoint, how do the Japanese view Oppenheimer?
A little known fact is that parallel XZ do compress worse than XZ !
I measured pixz as being approximately ~2% worse than xz.
That's because input is split into independent chunks.

In comparison, the 0.8% of zstd looks like a bargain.

In the same way other religions made a lot more sense when our scientific understanding of the world around us was less developed.

Religion serves, in a large part, to answer questions for which there's not yet a formal answer. But that's more about getting the monkey off your back than it is accuracy.

You can find comfort from following that path, but you won't get correctness or the ability to develop towards further more detailed discoveries.
Physical sensation seems simple tbf. Any robot can sense temperature or color gradient.

It's the decision making that's complicated.

To make a decision on whether it would like chocolate ice cream or not (before trying it) a brain will take all the data gathered over time, cross reference it with related data (does chocolate taste good alone? \ did I like it? \ It looked rather inedible. \ was it high cocoa content or not? \ Chocolate yoghurt seems similar, but I did not like it. \ I do like cold, but only when it's hot outside. \ My friend says chocolate ice cream tastes good. \ My other friend says it tastes bad. \ trust or discard opinions? and much more).

All within minutes, seconds even.

An AGI would need an absolutely massive database of knowledge similar to the one acquired by a human over the first 20-30 years of their life, if it's to be truly general.

It would also need bias correction, and maybe 2-5 other AGIs to form a consensus before making any decision properly.

And even that would not be enough to fit in with humans - if you want an AGI to make the objectively right decisions, it will have to ignore many human feelings/biases.

If you want it to fit in with people, it will have to make "mistakes", i.e. ineffective decisions.
Linux can be tuned for low latency, it's a kernel setting.

For spectate, perhaps room creators can tick "public" up front so casual spectators can just tap on a room from a list. I'd love to be able to quickly see the game in action when first discovering it.

Also, I've made a couple of Firebase apps myself, but my clients didn't want to make dashboards public. I'd like to know how much it costs you w.r.t. traffic. There have been some scare articles recently of Firebase costs being a bit more than you expected it to be.
I say a bit about why books are better in the paragraph preceding the one containing what you’ve quoted.

I can make a positive case for reading over TV watching, and the book I mention in the comment does just that, but first I’d like to quibble with your first question. I don’t say that watching TV is not enriching in general. Certain television and certain movies are awesome and even indispensable.

I do think books are better than watching TV though. For starters, you are in a thread about how TV is associated with cognitive decline. Reading on the other hand is promoted by the results of a number of studies showing its relationship to improved cognitive performance.

Perhaps the simplest argument I can think of now is this. When we as a society look to create great educators, lawyers, doctors, scientists, and philosophers, we make sure they’re reading a lot. We don’t have them watch TV. When society builds education systems they fill their curriculums with books, whether at the primary, secondary, or tertiary levels. This is still true despite television existing for almost 100 years. The replacement of reading by television has been actively resisted by educational leaders generally. In the most potent cases, professors would find it totally laughable that their graduate curriculums be facilitated by TV watching rather than books.
When using ML models to deal with natural science such as physics, working well+being interpretable actually implies new discovery. Working well only, on the other hand, cannot win you a Nobel Prize.

Not parent, but I suppose that government agencies in the US are more willing to not insist on keeping the rights. There is the idea that tax-paid work should (or must?) be available to the general public. Therefore the agencies don't have a good argument for keeping the rights anyway. As far as I know this is very much a US thing and doesn't exist elsewhere. At least where OP and I work it is - to the best of my knowledge - unheard of.

For a prime example see SQLite, which is in the public domain because its author worked as contractor for the Navy, when it was created.
