If a Canadian university invents a new image filter that will make fifty million dollars for companies whose products include image filters, but all such companies are foreign (instagram, apple, adobe, facebook...) why should the Canadian taxpayer give it to them for free?

It's not like Instagram are going to pass the cost of licensing on to users.
> But Asimov seems to have had comparatively little of that narcissistic, overentitled attitude which you'd find in so many harassers

Exactly. I think he would have been horrified if he actually understood the harm he caused. It sometimes amazes me how people who are extremely intelligent in some aspects of life can be so utterly clueless in other.
It’s really not about IDE with these cloud environments, but production workloads.

The difference with aws is that it’s actually used to run Amazon’s core business and so it’s super stable for production workloads (or at least has enough of workarounds to get it to a very stable environment).

Azure is more of a prototype environment, and gcp is something in between.

Why does the European Commission's website want to track me? They have a banner, too. In fact, I have yet to visit an EU government website that doesn't have a banner.

> Moore's law (1965) was that number of transistors per single chip doubles every year.

Not exactly. It was on the cheapest chip cut.

You can't fix it by trading area for yield, nor by creating more expensive denser processes. Chip manufacturers are currently doing both of those, what is good, obviously, but won't bring the kind of evolution we used to get.
Sometimes it’s a matter of making a point. I mean, who likes the cookie law (and bear in mind that US people don’t even see it remotely as frequently as europeans). Some people just want to send the message that EU is going too far.
Hello,

I would appreciate it if more languages had something like ucontext_t or byuu/co, because I don't enjoy tagging every call site with "await" whenever I change a method to do something that might consume some time (and every call site of those functions containing call sites too, and so on), and because I do enjoy being able to write code that uses speculative execution (like for time-travel netcode for a 2d fighting game) without manually converting all my imperative code to a state machine like a compiler should do.

I am a bit of a snob, maybe, but I've come to think one of the bare minimum features for any language is copyable coroutines.
It would be so much easier to make the websites honor "do not track" settings in the browsers.

Sure, but it isn't a useful exercise. Presumably there are limits to the current new treatments, once we figure out what those limits are we will hit a new death rate. I expect to see that before 2050. Then we have to wait for the next new treatment.

It seems unlikely that there are an infinite number of great treatments waiting to be discovered. Most likely we are asymptotically approaching some non-zero minimum death rate. (note that the function is not linear, and we just saw one interesting step)

Consider the series of bad decisions that allowed such complexity to ooze in the first place. It all eventually boils down to developers putting their needs and concerns ahead of the product/user. I am not convinced this new tool will solve for bad/undisciplined developers.

I used to use 1000 NPM packages as a sarcastic example about bad decisions and death by dependency overkill then I installed Angular which pulls in 1100 packages alone. The end user doesn’t care about your framework choice, favorite language, tech stack, or build process. They just know your application is slow, clumsy, and riddled with defects.

> It’s not just culture - Python’s object model is so complex that it would be hard to get right

Exactly! Python is flexible too... using module import hooks and AST transformations you can even implement common-lisp-style-macros... but the language and model is so darn messy and special-case-y that it would blow up in your face if you tried to use it in a real world project :|

Whereas in Ruby you can whip up a nice clean DSL in no time, and people can actually understand how it's implemented and read it's source without being gurus. Whereas the number of Python programmers who properly understand metaclasses and AST wrangling and other stuff you'd need to do DSL-like stuff and have it work correctly can be counted on not that many fingers...
> Why not?

Because if it's too easy they will be tempted to do it as a matter of routine.

They have to actually go to the home in question in order to execute the warrant. They can't automatically search all homes.
I’m not saying I agree with the GPs point but I do think you’re also missing their point. To use your example, it would matter if the question was asking people to do mental arithmetic.

The issue isn’t whether a machine or human is making the edits though. It’s really a question of what is the actual accurate image. Unfortunately that’s probably more of a philosophical rather than technical one. For example differing camera lenses will add their own distortions of “truth”. We also have different perceptions of colour from person to person. So how do you define “accurate”?

In my personal opinion what really matters is whether the subject is fair. By that I mean: are the filters changing the context or altering the perceived facts of the image? Or are the filters just an artistic choice. This filter definitely falls into the latter since the subject is still very obviously under water albeit presented with greater clarity. You’re not changing the context of the image but rather the presentation. So it’s hard to argue that as being “photoshopped” (in the context that term is typically used).
The main limit on plant growth is exactly that: a shortage of CO2 in the atmosphere. Yes, shortage. Will this actually make a difference with the plants starved of CO2, as opposed to a CO2-enriched atmosphere in the lab ?

(obviously I mean from the perspective of a plant that wants to grow faster, what matters from a global perspective can and probably will be different)

Assets and code have mostly the same needs out of a version control system - diffs, history, control over versions, etc. - and there are version control systems which handle both adequately. That said, I'll grant git is quite focused on code version control specifically - and I would not dream of trying to scale assets into it directly.

> 1. As you mentioned, the artifacts tend to get huge.

This, admittedly, is more common with build artifacts. That said, I've hit quota limits with autogenerated binding code on crates.io, with several hundred megs of code still being in the double digits when better compressed by cargo than I can figure out how to compress with 7-zip.

And that's a small single person hobby project, not a google monorepository.

> 2. The cache needs to be easy to bypass

I need to bypass locally vendored source code frequently as well, to test upstream patches etc.

> 3. The cache needs to be precise, so you don't end up with mystery errors once it finally does trigger, or people wondering why their changes don't seem to apply.

Also entirely true of source code.

> 4. The builds need to be exactly reproducible, so you don't end up with some critical package that only Steve Who Left 5 Years Ago could build (or Jenkins Node 3 That Just Suffered A Critical HDD Failure).

Enshrining built libs in VCS is an alternative tackling of the problem. You might not be able to reproduce that exact build bit-for-bit thanks to who knows what minor compiler updates have been forced upon you, but at least you'll have the immutable original to reproduce bugs against.

> In particular, #3 will be very confusing since there will be a delay between the code push and the related build push.

It's already extremely common - in the name of build stability, including with git - to protect a branch from direct push, and have CI generate and delay committing a merge until it's verified the build goes green. By wonderful coincidence, this is also well after CI has finished building those artifacts - in fact, it's been running tests against those artifacts - so it can atomically commit the source merge + binaries of said source merge all at once. No delay between the two.

There are some caveats - gathering the binaries can be a pain for some CI systems, or perhaps your build farm is underfunded and can only reasonably build a subset of your build matrix before merging. Or perhaps the person setting it up didn't think it through and has set things up such that code reaches a branch that uses VCS libs before the built libs reach the same spot in VCS - I'll admit I've experienced that, and it's horrible.

Nix, Incredibuild, etc. are wonderful alternatives to tackle the problem from a different angle though.

With Trump's plan to pull the US out of much of the Middle East, I do not see this as making the US position weaker.
Yes, if they detect something illegal they remove it. Perhaps "censorship" was the wrong word. If they begin establishing the precedent they will censor or editorialize content which isn't illegal (all of the things you mentioned) then I think they become legally liable for things they don't edit, like slander which is a matter for civil rather than criminal courts (at least in the US).

> are they selling extras to the EU

Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. If you take money from EU citizens, then you can be expected to treat at least them in accordance with european standards. If you don't like it, then we don't want your busyness, as simple as that (even though that might not be the position of every citizen, it's essentially what GDPR states)
I think it's throughput credits that EFS gives you (e.g r/w MiB/s), not IOPS. AFAIK they don't document the IOPS available at all.

In my experience the latency for an individual i/o operation on EFS is always at the "HDD from 1995" level regardless of available burst credits. Something that does lots of small random I/O like checking out got repos on Jenkins workers is basically worst case for EFS.

...and I've been postponing buying an E-ink device in hopes of getting a color one!

One of my main excuses has been the fact color is useful for programming books because you have syntax highlighting. Now I'm realizing reflective color screens may never really come, and it's probably better to devise some kind of software workaround. Some kind of system that would replace colored fonts with a system of very distinctive set of typefaces that work well in B&W.

In theory facebook could force a full audit / history of the ad varieties used in targeting and provide it to journalistic folks who want to do such analysis.

In practice, that is not very different from a politician saying what is necessary to get the votes to different people: Now s/he is enabled to do it from behind the desk.

I look at it as an exercise in building analytic capability and resistance to mis-information. This is one (if not costly) way of ensuring people realize the downsides of insular and self confirming thoughts and go back to actual analysis and funding trustworthy news mediums. At one point Radio was the devil, then it was TV and so on. Almost each generation goes through this. For some, the learnings don't kick in without grave costs and in a weird way, it is darwinian.

If the biggest worry is influencing votes, There is a big money in researching ways of exposing these lies in a people accessible form. The problem with the current rhetoric IMO is that it is more around 'Here is all the information, you make the call' to a set of folks who lack time / energy and may be even the analytic bandwidth. Usually when people hear an 'But actually, xyz science studies say this' - no one goes, 'Oh shit, let me change my opinion'. They go ' Oh shit, he is pointing at my ignorance'.

What we want is to build trust with the voter base and not make them feel alienated. We want trustworthy pundits who make information accessible and ways to cross check what these folks say and provide the same information without putting down folks. We want the cross check setup to be non-partisan and fair instead of it being 'I belong to the other side, am going to call this bad no matter what they do'. We want real repercussions for feeding misinformation - not just in actual words, but in the style of communication. We want clear delineation of facts, opinions and assertions.

IOW this is a huge opportunity: educating the masses on issues and ensure they vote with right information.
I struggle to see the logic behind your assertion. If the capacity for involvement of female creators/contributors is limited by the likelihood of possible sexual harassment, then how do you account for female involvement/contribution in microblogging (specifically Instagram), discos & clubs, and large scale social events. These three types of thing all have the very rich potential for sexual harassment opportunities, yet it would appear a lot of women flock to them all the same. I would argue that the motivation to be involved is the largest factor in involvement, by any party, and consequences are secondary, if even considered, depending on potential status gain.

The relevance to the issue at hand is that science fiction is already a subgenre (though it is on the rise) that has a rather narrow range of fan base with an even more narrow range of potential authors. There are so few people writing good science fiction; I honestly wonder how much the carnal predilections of a now dead but no less prolific author is moving the needle.

If you could magically make science fiction authorship on par with being a YouTube personality in terms of perceived status, an army of Weinsteins and Dworkins couldn't keep little girls and boys out of crafting stories.
Learn the Major mnemonic method for memorizing numbers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_major_system

It's very useful for lots of things, from memorizing license plates to birthdays. There are some "better" methods, but the major system has lots of resources, and it's a balance between time consuming and powerful.

Learning to encode numbers to images is good training, a step towards converting paragraphs of text or conversations into easily stored images. A side effect is you'll be able to remember speeches and other things better. I am often told that I have a photographic memory when people see my notes, but it's really years of practice.
While the statements you made might coincide with reality, you don't support any of them with an actual credible source. And you ignore the fact that you keep comparing bleeding edge tech to 50 year old tech to prove that the old one shouldn't be researched and improved, a line of argumentation that makes no sense. You insist nuclear should be gimped by not doing any research and then use that as an argument for it not performing well enough now. The tech is old because politicians are weary of promoting research into improving nuclear tech (not talking about "holy grails" like cold fusion) due to the stigma associated with the "nuclear" label and losing their average Joe constituents.

By your own line of argumentation research in renewables should stop because coal and oil are cheaper and scale much better than them. If you can't keep your reasoning consistent it's not much of a reasoning. 20 years ago people like you insisted that electric tech in cars doesn't make sense because it was tried around the 1900s and didn't take off, proof that it should not be researched further.

In the meantime in 2013 the BARD Offshore 1 400MW wind turbine farm cost 3bn Euros and for a long time it cost ratepayers 2m Euros per day by not supplying most of the planned energy. So you see, anything can be disastrous if you don't do it right. If you don't invest in technology don't complain that it's not up to date. You don't blame technology for the blunders of mega-project management unless you're doing it in bad faith or truly have little understanding of the topic.
