Thanks for asking!

VIM keybindings means modal editing first and foremost, so:

- ESC -> whatever that mode is called, where you get to use
h, j, k, l, and other movement operators, d, c, r, R, I,
o, O, etc to make edits and enter insert or replace mode,
y/Y for yanking (copy), p/P for pasting, and so on

- buffer registers

- macros

- : -> ex command mode where you get to enter ex commands
(e.g., global search and replace, save, switch files,
quit, and so on)

Of these the first is the most important -- I can do without ex command mode. I can also do w/o vimscript and all of the various features of VIM such as syntax highlighting (which is really not appropriate in a WYSIWYM/WYSIWYG LaTeX document context).

For editing documents with variable-width fonts I don't need ^V (rectangular block selection) for obvious reasons, but visual selection ('v') is still useful.

While in input mode it's nice to have ^D serve to reduce indentation (list depth in this context).

You should also have Emacs keybindings -- again, a subset will do.

ISTM that there are many offerings in this space, and I'll take LyX any day (because it's free and open source and it works), so you need something special to sell into this space, such as:

- online collaborative editing
- VIM keybindings
- Emacs keybindings
- a powerful DSL for transformations
(this is why XML doesn't suck for _documents_: XSLT/XPath)

One reason I use Postman is to check latency from all around the world.

Surely you could probably setup a ton of ec2 or gcp instances and try that out, but at least for me, Postman easily allowed me to do that (and might still stick with them even with the price hike).

If anyone does have any suggestions, that'd be great as well.
Boeing had an approach to this issue: Your either running the correct version of the CAD software, or you can't check in designs. This also meant that every time it was updated there was a rush to get engineers who's update did not work back up and working. Fortunately those were a small minority and it was usually disk space issues.

Get one of the mowers that follows a wire and then embed the wire under the grass in the pattern you want.

I remember seeing one of these where a guy would mow outside a pattern at one height, then adjust the height of the mower and mow the inside of the pattern so the grass was longer, giving him a noticeable pattern. Can't find a link at the moment though.

70M Jobs Launches Crowdfund Campaign
70 Million Jobs, the first national, for-profit employment platform for people with criminal records, has just launched a crowdfund campaign (Republic.co/70-Million-Jobs). We're a YC company, have 11 million+ deserving men and women in our community, and have placed thousands in jobs with some of the country's largest employers.

It seems like only yesterday when I announced our launch here on Hacker News. It hasn't been easy--there's a great deal of negative bias felt towards those with records--but attitudes are changing fast. And record low unemployment hasn't hurt either.

We're after double bottom line returns: do massive social good and build a big, successful company. We're finding product market fit--finally, and have great plans for the future. Check out our video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qhh6IVjuMU&t=35s). I'd love your help. Thanks-Richard

Serious about emissions? It’s time to embrace nuclear (2013)
Pretty amazing work -- a couple of thoughts:

1) The article doesn't say this, but dimensions don't always have to do with locations in space and time, you can treat any value that can continuously vary as a dimension -- for example, a person might have dimensions for personality type, age, hair color, etc, etc.. Seems like they could use this technique to better train CNNs to recognize patterns in a lot of data besides imagery -- fraud detection based on credit card transactions, for example.
2) There are a lot of local and global symmetries in physics -- i wonder what new capabilities adding them to a CNN would enable?
I'm a strong proponent of both approaches. If surveillance infrastructure is in place, and all you have protecting you is law, it only takes one small change, or one warrant, to lose all your privacy (and you won't even find out about it). On the other hand, if the law forbids privacy, technological solutions won't withstand for very long, especially when you can be compelled to hand over your passwords or face jail.
I think you misunderstand what I mean by "distribution" - there is already enough housing for everybody (see article), it is just not distributed in an equitable way among people who need it. Nothing to do with shipping houses.

We have a small yard and a Landdroid mower we got 3 years ago. The yard is probably 1000sf It works quite well, though set up involves a perimieter wire which was a pain.

A critter eat through the wire this year, which means the mower stoped working. Figuring it out is was a perimeter wire break and where was a little tricky and involved using an am radio. Generally happy with the device.
Talk to the municipal bond markets.

A bond issued by the MTA is considered a revenue bond. The only source of income to pay the bond holders have is the revenues of the MTA. A bond issued by New York State is considered a general obligation of the state, with the expectation that New York State will use its tax power to pay the bond holders.
I used to design and build these - if you have a simple yard, you can use the inexpensive mowers, as long as you don't care about having striping in your lawn. I had one for two seasons, and it was awesome - your lawn looks like it freezes in time and is healthier to boot.

You just have to install an "invisible fence" style wire around the perimeter.

You can study things and not be called an academic. For instance if you enter a genre by force, you usually read some sort of chronology of best hits by the decades -- because there are many more books published to discover beyond this year.
When we use data parallelism, we're summing/averaging the gradients induced by different parts of the data, not the weights of the model itself. When using multiple models for ensemble methods, we're summing/averaging the output of the models for a sample. We're not summing/averaging the weights of the models themselves. While averaging the weights of several models might work on a given problem, it definitely doesn't work in general.

w2tanh(w1x) = -1w2tanh(-w1*x)

But if you average the weights in those two equivalent models you get 0.

If you're talking about asynchronous data parallelism, then there can be some averaging of weights, but they all start with the same weights and are re-synched often enough that weights are never too different to break it.

What happens when the beacons run out of battery power?

The biggest fear I have with a robot lawnmower is that it somehow escapes its boundary and wanders the neighborhood and injures a person or pet with its spinning blade. And it's pointless to have one if you have to supervise it to safeguard against rare faults in its boundary detection system.

This line of thinking is pretty sad IMO, even if pragmatic at times.

The best way to get rid of low-quality copycat apps isn't to ban all apps, it's to go after the reason those low-quality copycats exist in the first place. That is, advertising. There's no point in making a garbage app unless you can trick some people into installing it, and monetize them before they notice and delete the app. Advertising (in general, meaning both showing ads and harvesting data for the advertising industry) is what enables these apps. Curtail that, and there won't be a need to make any choice here.

With that having been said, everyone please stop assuming your data is safe. It’s never safe, but it’s extremely not safe single homed somewhere. Make backups. Anything that’s saved locally on one machine only? Consider it gone until it’s backed up.

Cloud providers may be able to give you better assurances, but if you really care about data give it at least 2 independent homes. I’ve lost data more than I care to admit. BuyVM lost one of my VPSes years ago. Who’s fault was it really?

When you are ready to stop kidding yourself about your data, check out some backup solutions. I particularly like Borg Backup:

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg

And if you do not have network attached storage anywhere there are services that provide it as a service.

(Note: I think needless to say it’s also a good idea to back your NAS up to other places too, although I haven’t gotten into this practice yet. Synology supposedly has a lot of features around this.)
I disagree with MTA’s actions here but can imagine some reasons someone would feel the need to act on this. If a third-party representation of the system becomes a dominant way people refer to it then it could impact MTA’s ability to make changes like adding/cutting service to a particular station or building new stations. It’s fine now when the transit system irl and the defendant’s map are in sync, but the problem is keeping it that way.

Arena style allocation helps. You still get the allocations, but GC is cheap. IMO both Java and the CLR are in desperate need of multiple heaps with separate GCs to solve these problems. One big heap simply doesn't scale well. Erlang is the only example I know of that does this right. I know that the golang GC is low-latency, but I'm not familiar with if it can sustain high allocation rates.

How are you going to datamine and AI train and sell customer data for to advertisers for profit, if you can't read the customer data?

Google makes billions from doing this, if we wanted Google to not be able to do this at all, we would have to pay them the same money (more!) collectively to incentivise them to do that instead. And I don't see any movement to take that into account and be willing to do it.

I don't know much about Ring, but I would be amazed if there was no plan or dream in their business model for things like "face recognition to let your friends in", or "tracking suspicious people around your neighbourhood" as a police contractor, or "selling info to FedEx about what their drivers are up to as seen from the customer side", or "selling data to real estate sites about which roads are busiest or quietest", or anything else they can gather.

Saying "my data, my property!" is a principle I can support, but without facing up to this, Ring's answer is very likely to be "we're secure don't worry about a thing .. behind you! a three headed monkey!".
I disagree. Two maps containing the same facts can present them very differently and there is plenty of scope for creative expression. So yes, the facts themselves do not fall under copyright but any non-trivial presentation arguably does.

In this case I think the MTA is still wrong though, just not for this reason.

I've only used Azure so far. I can see why a big company would choose Azure. Although as we move further into the tech era, we're going to see a decline in the size of companies. Internet services will continue to make it easier for small companies to offload pieces of work to other small companies. They'll get good quality results for reasonable costs. Then soon, these small companies are producing big company results, shaving off big company profits. Welcome in the hunter gather era of computation. Bottom line, if Azure stays around, it's just going to become what AWS already is.

We have been thinking about this a lot for our open-source Segment project (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/). We launched things under mongo-SSPL (which is not a OSS approved license) but we now think AGPL is probably good enough for a product like ours. AGPL should kick in for anything (e.g. mobile app) that sends events to the our AGPL-backend so needs to be open-sourced too - that should be a strong enough deterrent for anyone to offer this as a service. Is this statement true? If yes, why did Mongo with with SSPL instead of AGPL?

At the same time, we still want businesses who don't care about OSS to use Rudder without having to open-source their code. To address that we are thinking of releasing our binary (and AMI images etc) under MIT license. Sure, someone can spin up a SaaS service on the binary but that's hard.

Any feedback on this would be highly appreciated.

They’re largely doing it because as a contractor having to go back and forth between the construction site and a trailer / office to access items like drawings in on-prem software is a PITA and leads to errors and rework.

It also carries enormous risk of anything happens to the device with the data on it. Employee that just got fired drops laptop with project plans in an oil drum on the way out? Yeah that happens.

All of the big players in construction project management are cloud and mobile and anyone that tried to pitch anything different would be at a substantial disadvantage for all but the smallest contractors.

I also have a Wyze cam on the inside of a window looking out, and you're right that the IR would just reflect in the window, making it useless at night.

I also think that you probably don't really need a weather-resistant Wyze cam if it's mounted sufficiently close underneath eaves. Probably depends on how much wind you get in your area though.

I wouldn’t be so confident about that. I’ve worked with a few large organisations where customer service staff needed to have access to sensitive customer data, and they usually had pretty good systems for detecting improper access to data, and would monitor it quite actively. I have no idea what monitoring systems Amazon has in place, but they could easily be doing quite a good job of it.
