I think one way numerical computation APIs can offer optimizations of this sort is to expose a chaining API.

For eg:

chain(my_large_array).op1().op2().op3().result()

Using this, the chain() start could copy the input data once, but thereafter do a series of in place mutations in op1, op2 and op3 to improve performance.

Do numpy APIs provide such facilities?
I didn't even mention Fukushima there.

The health issues connected to Fukushima will show themselves in due time, just like they do with Chernobyl up to today and for many years to come.

Your ignorance of those facts clearly presented to you show how disgusting the discussion is being lead on the side of the nuclear supporters.
This seems like super unnecessary FUD. I don't use them, but considered it for my current Blazor project since they have some nice open source libs for other third party authentication. Anyone anywhere can raise prices. Why be so negative about them. Is there any actual reason to?

Edit: Equivalently any SAAS sucks since they may in the future raise their prices is your argument.

Java is GPLv2+CPE. That didn't stop Oracle because, as Linus pointed out in the email, Oracle regards their APIs as a separate entity to their code.

Most likely due to most people lifestyle:

- diet (way too poor in vegetables and fruits which are amazing sources of nutrients of all sorts, (note: nutrients degrade really fast with temperature/cooking) that facilitate cell functions, blood circulation, etc..)

- Over-heating and 'over-clothing': these artificial heating is making our own natural heating less efficient (people over-heat in winter for example, it's possible to spend the whole evening and night at 15°C, I live in the south of France, I don't even heat my apartment, and casually even open windows at night in winter)

- Lack of exercise, sun exposure, and quality sleep
How is that valid? I'm pretty sure it was the CTA's catchphrase well before that was filed...

Edit: Wikipedia says the CTA started using it in response to the 9/11 attacks, but the reference goes to a generic security page (probably changed since it was added). Did find a dated reference from 2004 though, over a year before that trademark was filed: https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/cta-metra-beef-up-securi...
If you use NoScript the site is perfectly viewable and has no scrolljacking.
In the world as it is today, the only way that is going to happen is if someone like Facebook or Google sponsors a decentralised solution. Projects like Matrix/Riot are technically great, but that alone is not going to make regular people adopt it. They want something that's easy to use and where most of their friends are. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a free (from corporate control) and decentralised chat platform gain as much adoption as email in the next decade, but realistically I can't see that happening.
The right way to make that comparison would be using libgmp or libmpfr to begin with. No? Not by using machine integers/floats. This blog just compared apples to oranges and concluded apples are tastier.

I've worked at companies where I had to take annual hour-long training sessions about not saying stuff like this in discoverable communications.
Because openness and transparency requires emotional security as a prerequisite. Surveillance and transparency are not the same thing. If you subject people to an all-seeing eye, people will default to covering their asses, and you will not get the information you seek.

Attempting to force people to be vulnerable by unilaterally being open about your own vulnerabilities is manipulative. You will get "my biggest weakness is that I care too much"-type deflective responses at best and a cold shoulder at worst.

In companies, a culture with emotional security is built first in private one-on-one meetings and spread from there - it never originates in a public (public within the company at least) setting.

Someone once gave the sage advice of never using the word 'kill' in your code base. 'm_Object.KillListeners();' can sound pretty bad in court. A lawyer can try to make your source code a legal matter, and a jury is free to interpret 'm_Object.KillChildren();' as being proof of willful negligence.
Of course, this doesn't really matter when you're actually exposing willful negligence over your internal communication channels.
Is it possible that they did this because there's just no easy access to restrooms like being stuck in traffic?

I have friends who have done this when they were stuck in traffic.

I imagine that when UPS drivers do their deliveries like in the suburbs, there might not be public restrooms nearby.
What backup strategy are you implying for the case of cockroachdb? Streaming the changefeed (including timestamps) to an external append-only system while slowly and incrementally iterating through all tables using as of system time to reduce impact on active transactions and know how late this shard of a "full backup" can be inserted into the "agumented" changefeed you'd generate by interleaving these shards into the changefeed. For replay you'd use the stream from the oldest shard up to the select min(a) from (select max(timestamp_resolved) as a from changefeeds group by table) newest timestamp you know you have the transactions complete changesets for (the resolved timestamp can be periodically emitted to confirm that no further records in the same feed(/table) could have a transaction timestamp earlier than it, inducing a partial ordering).

You could replay the (combined,sorted,agumented) changefeed in-order, or shard it on the table's primary key to ensure per-key monotonicity when applying the streams in parallel threads/transactions/nodes.
While I understand your approach, taking itvto the extreme it sounds to the lawmaker a little bit like: I didn't wear a helmet, you have any whatbthese things cost? I'm not going to get my car checked, unless you pay for it (it's my understanding frequent check-ups are not in fact mandatory in the US anyway). I didn't pay for this car, why would I?

I'm joking of course. What was the problem, MTA maps? Yeah, those are publicly accessable.
I'm not sure why this got downvoted, I personally wasn't aware of the conditions on which boeing were making plane before the accidents. My gut feel is nobody did care before something really bad happen and having access to a journalist who is interested enough to make a story ain't simple when you're not in their network. As an example, I did notice a few months ago that twitter did receive identifying information about youporn users (here's a proof: https://archive.kerjean.me/public/2020/twitter.jpg). At that time, I did contact a few journalist from techcrunch, gizmodo and some linux techies but never got any answer and the story never went out

'The company official said the language used and sentiments expressed in these communications "are inconsistent with Boeing values, and the company is taking appropriate action in response."'

The company is taking action in response. Against its employees. Not the ones responsible for killing hundreds of people, but the ones who were calling the program out on its flaws that led to those deaths? If I were working on a safety critical program and I thought it was risking lives I'd lose my shit. The employees that said this should be getting an "I told you so" badge, and the executive team should be going to prison. Fuck Boeing for this.

Zuck wants to use FB to continue to delegitimize democratic governments so he can replace them with FB itself.

Zuck is a fascist.
Well the argument was whether one can do reasonably as well without Facebook. So the point is there are quite many inconveniences caused by that. This is why it would be preferable that Facebook was regulated properly.

It is not as simple as asking to send an SMS. I will be missing out on a lot of information, bonding opportunities, picture sharing and I will be that annoying dude making others jump through extra hoops as well.

I am personally not going to make that sacrifice.

I could also live in complete isolation in the woods and without friends. I just do not want to live like that being constantly paranoid.
Linus is rather tolerant (or apathetic) about non-GPL modules, but what he doesn't care to do is ensure that there is an appropriate set of non-GPL-marked exports available for external modules. If some other developer happens to mark some export GPL and it happens to be one key export needed by a non-GPL external module, Linus doesn't care, because he doesn't care about external modules.

This has come up many times in the past. Keep in mind that linux has always been GPLv2-only, it is not LGPL or anything like that.

Why Scientists Fall for Precariously Balanced Rocks
> One of the strangest things in AI, to me, is that you can average the weights of multiple different models to create a single model that’s better than any of the individuals.

I think this is one of the least strange things in AI. All you're doing is taking N overfitted models (unlikely to be overfit in the same way) and then asserting that the average of those predictions is probably not overfitted as much (regularization). Overfitting as a concept is not restricted to some number of dimensions.
Thank you for letting me know, I didn't realize it had actually been tried. It appears to have also gone poorly in Taiwan. I absolutely didn't intent to say it was a good idea, merely that it was a similar idea to the parent's that might work a little better.

> There are no (stable) alternatives. BTRFS certainly not, as it's "under heavy development"¹ (since... forever).

Unless you are living in 2012 on a RHEL/CENTOS 6/7 machine, btrfs has been stable for way too long. I have been using btrfs as the sole filesystem on my laptop in standard mode, on my desktop as RAID0 and my NAS as RAID1 for more that two years. I have experienced absolutely zero data loss. Infact, btrfs recovered my laptop and desktop from broken package updates many times.

You might have had some issues when you tried btrfs on distros like RHEL that did not backport the patches to their stable versions because they don't support btrfs commercially. Try something like openSUSE that backports btrfs patches to stable versions or use something like arch.

> That's true, however, the amount is breakage is no different from any other out-of-tree module, and it unlikely to happen with a patch version of a working kernel (in fact, it happen with the 5.0 release).

This is a filesystem that we are talking. In no circumstances will any self respecting sysadmin use a file system that has even a small change of breaking with a system update.

I have a friend who refuses to use Facebook. About twice a year I remember to send her updates.

No conspiracy required.

Run the numbers on all HIV patients requiring perpetual treatment versus a vaccine slowly eliminating the virus from the population over 5,10 and 20 years.

Vaccines are not a great business model compared to the latter. Analogous to the dearth of Antibiotic research currently. Other drugs like statins for example are much more profitable due to perpetual use requirement.

Where would you invest the companies resources if you were running the show? And make no mistake. The resources are finite when you are charged with growing multi tens of billions of annual revenue. Miss by 5% and your head rolls and your stock options are upside down.

It seems highly likely 5-10 years from now you will be able to wear a device that is comfortable and unobtrusive that can deliver the presence of any other connected user to you instantly, including body language and full spatial awareness.

Why use RAID5/6, RAID10 is much more safe because you drastically reduce the change of a cascading resilvering failure. Yes, you get less capacity per drive, but drives are (relatively) cheap.

I thought I wanted RAID5, but after reading horror stories of drives failing when replacing a failed drive, I decided it just wasn't worth the risk.

I currently run RAID1, and when I need more space, I'll double my drives and set up RAID10. I don't need most of the features of ZFS, so BTRFS works for me.

I’m not sure how this relates to what I asked at all. If something I said at work gets leaked to the public or a regulator, that makes my employer look bad, why should I worry about that? That sounds a lot more like their problem than mine.

> Attempting to force people to be vulnerable by unilaterally being open about your own vulnerabilities is manipulative.

This comment makes no sense to me. Aside from not relating to what I said, I cannot possibly see how being open and honest is forcing anybody else to do anything. Personally I speak my mind wherever I work, and if my employer doesn’t like that, I’m more than happy to find a new job. Ironically, the only people who have ever had a problem with it are middle managers trying to cover up after themselves, and incompetent people that were somehow promoted to technical leadership roles they had no business being in. People I have no problems upsetting.

I didn't know that Facebook is a licensed medical organization which is legally allowed to offer medical advice in the form of selecting which medicine-related materials its users can see.


Really, people, if you want good info on vaccines, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. Facebook and other social networks should never be considered a source of reliable info on anything. Pretending otherwise is both foolish and increases moral hazard (not unlike people trusting mass media... basically, if some outlet gives you advice for "free", that advice is not in your best interest, period, - there is a reason why it is published, and your well-being is not that reason). Practically every piece of free content (authored by strangers) you read is some form of an "infomercial", be it scientists competing for attention of grantors, or quacks trying to sell you snake oil, or anything on the spectrum in between.

It is. Inform your friends that you don't use Facebook and ask them to treat you the same way they would treat any other friend that doesn't use Facebook: reach out and communicate through any of the other myriad ways available to everyone.

> I am personally not going to make that sacrifice.

That's fine, but any objections you have to Facebook's behavior ring hollow since you recognize the problem but are unwilling to do anything about it. You are thus part of the problem.
