I'm working as a technology director in a larger corporation in ad-tech space; more accurately market research industry.

After working as (full-stack) engineer for several years I've evolved into tech lead, architect and engineering manager. I'm currently managing a fully remote team of 20+ engineers in 4 different countries. I went from being a single engineer in a project to running this quite efficient and impressive team. From MVPs and PoC to large distributed systems...

I don't wanna share too much information publically. If you are looking for an architect/lead/engineering manager perhaps we should talk.

P.s.: I'm really hyped with reactive systems. ;)
I want to see pen-on-tablet experience that allows working without a keyboard.

Then, plug tablet to monitor and “type/write” on the tablet.

Wait, what? An exception takes out a global lock?

Do you know which runtimes do this? Or, which runtimes don't?
Honest question: to what extent is this a fancier-graphics version of Logo from the 1960s? (you know, the little turtle with which you can draw shapes, by using commands like pen down, pen up, move, turn, etc).

Does swift playgrounds teach one other stuff, in particular stuff relevant to the MacOS or iOS API?
This is not accurate. The NSA launders evidence that would otherwise violate the 4th amendment through its "special operations division" using "parallel construction".
Not very much, no... we call it ’campanilismo’: the tendency for people to live out their lives within earshot of their town’s church’s bell-tower (campanile).

Side-story: southern Italians who relocated to the industrialising North during the ‘Italian Economic Miracle’ of the 1950s to 1970s referred to the process as ‘emigrating’. Until it was looked down upon by more modern sensitivities, they were referred to as ‘immigrants’, and their offspring referred to as first- and second-generation immigrants.

It really is a rather static society, though now there’s a significant and constant flow of young graduates from the hideously unemployment-afflicted South towards the North, or abroad since the Great Stagnation set in about fifteen years ago.
All of this is true, but with processing power and disk space increasing, you could envision a world where a phone simply has a copy of a desktop OS that it could boot into for docking, like a Mac with a Windows partition.

I’m sure you could do this with Linux now, it’s just such a niche use case nobody has mass produced it.
Maybe. Another possibility for a "Rosetta Stone", or perhaps the Lovecraftian perversion of said stone, comes from the ADE situation [0][1]. Even category theory, that great unifier with its own "Rosetta" tables [2][3], cannot escape; quivers have an ADE property.

Either way, we still don't know what's up with 1728. That will truly unlock everything, I think. Understanding 2, 3, or 5 would be nice; understanding 8 or 12 or 24 would be groundbreaking; but I think understanding 1728 will also be understanding Langlands' programme entire.

Your Goldman link shows Goldman selling their UK headquarters and leasing it back. A headquarters they planned before Brexit. It provides no information as to whether Goldman plan on sub-leasing. The financing of one of their buildings tells you nothing about hteir operations.

Your second claim- that the EU commission would 'ban' EU companies from trading with 'British financial' in the wake of Brexit. I'd love to see a source. You know, a source that doesn't caveat things like "if Britain diverged too far". Oh by the way, I work for a finance company that's moved its legal entity to Amsterdam- so those scare stories are literally what has happened.

I'd love to see any reference you have to what you were claiming would happen with Brexit in 2016. Any reference, because I bet you whatever you thought would happen is wrong. But I'm sure you've got good sources for your conspiracy theory that everyone who points out a problem with Brexit is secretly pushing an ulterior motive. Talk about the damage brexit is doing? you must be 'monumentally incapable' - or, you know, actually running a business.
Think they just found the UK more competitive and advanced than what they expected. They could have got a UK licence but perhaps better ROI elsewhere. Don't think the UK loses much here.

Could you clarify what you mean by "low resolution" SVG?
> the overall size of your code has increased a lot over time, causing performance issues due to issues that have existed for a long time, but weren't being felt yet.

Not really. A simple empty project displays the same problems. You can try going back to 2017 right now with any project you're working on, you'll feel the difference instantly.

Intellisense simply takes longer to respond, and likewqise other editor functions.

Their feedback forums have hundreds of similar reports.
> And then you'd question who put that data there, and whether it was real.

That's a fair point. You're right, you do need to take some things on trust at some point.

I don't know what the solution is. If I knew the answer I would have built it by now :). But I do hope we don't start censoring skeptics and instead overcome them by building things.
I'd love to have a Gmail-like alternative, both with a Mozilla domain (personal) and custom domains (business), for a small yearly subscription. Maybe have ad-supported as an alternative.
Thank you! I read a little bit more about it and I think I'll give it a Go ;)
No it's not scary in the slightest. Missing or scrambled labels are routine in ML and the algorithms are able to handle it.

This was a huge paper a couple years ago that demonstrates deep nets will still find the structure in the data even with totally randomized labels: https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.03530

There are also various well known techniques to verify whether you've over or underfit.

Checked exceptions: Java’s biggest mistake (2014)
Sort of, but by making it a physical object it's proving that it's not just some intuition-breaking edge case caused by infinite numbers, it's in the realm of normal small human-scale numbers and maybe we need to rethink things when it's trivial to collide by accident.
I'm not sure to be honest. I suspect most parse trees preserve most of the info but not up to bijection. For instance, Ruby has ways of taking the Ripper output and generating source text but there's no guarantee that this output will be precisely the original source text. After all, the parser would need to distinguish between spaces and tabs and store them as tokens to reproduce the text fully.
I only left when they used to be the bloated browser that took up like 1gb of memory back in the late 00's early 10's.

Now that's normal and I've sorta acclimated for the past 3 years.
I didn't mean to disagree with the conclusion. My point was more that it is hard to be confident in the causes of results like this. It'd be great if we had tools that could randomise alignments etc, so we could take lots of samples and get more confidence. As far as I know those tools don't exist and we just have to use experience.
Czechoslovakia had the advantage of being a small country next to the EU.

China had the disadvantage of being the most populous country in the world.

In crisis, economic or otherwise, Czechoslovakia is much more likely and capable of being rescued by the international community. China will need to rely on itself if only because it is way too big for any kind of help to be substantial and meaningful.

Thus the outcome will likely be even worse than Russia, which only has around 1/10th the population of China and an impressive natural resource reserve.

They should know it all: where the cpu and ram is, how the motherboard look like and etc. Nobody expects them to go out there and start fixing computers, however if someone spends 4 years studying the subject and can't even be asked to look inside the box,well then there's not much hope... A couple of weeks ago I was on the sales floor and was about to change RAM on a couple of PCs( it's not my job,just wanted to do it). The sales rep pulled the PC from underneath the desk, took the side cover off,removed the old ram and put the new one in.If sales can do it, I'm confident anyone in CompSci should be able to do so as well.
When they came out in 2018 I remember they advertised heavily for a few months. But since then I have not seen any advertising in the last year or so.
1) This is often the first question many people familiar with NNs ask and rightly so. Compression was not one of our goals with this article, and it would look like a terrible compression algorithm if that were its purpose. In fact, the model displayed here is about 8.3k parameters, although the WebGL model is quantized (more info on this in the last section), and each model learns to encode an image consisting of 44x44x3 = 5808 integers. We made no attempt to minimize this number. The key thing to bear in mind is that all the cells have the exact same rule and the image generation starts from a single one of them - meaning they have to learn to communicate locally with their neighbours to self-organize in the correct pattern. This is a very non-trivial task and the majority of the model’s parameters are likely going towards this communication protocol and growth behavior.

2) We have not tried 3D. As for animations, some of our earliest experiments suggested one could achieve “animations” by applying the loss at key-points to have the model learn to iterate through these points across several time steps.

3) One could argue the WebGL implementation does this to some extent by quantizing the learned weights we take from the Tensorflow training code. The model remains very resilient and worked out of the box in almost all cases. Moreover, if one tried to inject explicit noise to the CA in a given location, some models would have no problems adapting to it, while others would fail miserably. Some early experiments yielded some remarkably resistant models, able to resist while being subject to continuous globally occurring noise. We suspect explicitly training them while introducing noise would allow us to drive the model towards more consistently resistant behaviors.

4) One of the main obstacles to larger patterns at the moment is memory usage during a forward/backward pass. There are optimization and tricks we plan to employ to generate larger and more complex patterns, which may be discussed in a follow up thread.
another issue for businesses is that you pay lot more per transaction or batch when you use the api services of banks. For example we pay 2.50 euro for a sepa batch via ftp. For the same batch via the api we pay a monthly fee of 500 euros plus 4 euros per batch.
The api provides instant payment processing. The ftp is a daily batch processing.
We still use the ftp way, because the api one is too expensive
The overhead also depends on how the compiler implements them

Some compilers use setjump/longjump (sjlj), and then it needs to save all registers somewhere on every try{}. Probably also in every function that calls a destructor. That is very slow, even if no exception is thrown at runtime
No offense but your whole post is a straw man. I never said anything about anything being free. Although if you want to post videos for free on youtube, that seems to be a popular choice for a lot of people these days.

Anyway this is why I didn't want to discuss things in that direction, because it always leads to people attacking the argument with totally nonsensical conclusions. Of course the concept of patronage wasn't invented by tech VCs or kickstarter or whatever you're thinking of. Can we try to think about this constructively?
The simple idea is to do stuff like train your model on randomized subsets of your data and then compare its performance to using all the data you have.

This doesn't overcome a true "black swan", but that's not what NN are meant to be doing anyhow.
I guess you can make the argument that coding up the solution that does the generating of the music is the creative part here, just as with games where the creative process is creating the environment for example.

I guess music that is made by programming is just as copyrightable as "normal" music. With Ableton/Max Live and similar, programming and music production is getting closer and closer to each other anyways.
I am not going to hire anybody from a free coding bootcamp or a coding bootcamp for that matter. Seems like they turn out people who know how to hack things together based on shallow knowledge.
The entire book Structure and Intrerpretation of Computer Programs is like that. It explains how to implement the language Scheme in any language (by decomposing the problem to small enough atomic entities you can implement and combine them in any language). I suppose it’s excellent practice since the book uses only Scheme, so the reader must implement the primitives of the interpreter themselves. So you need to figure out how to implement tiny things yourself (which is fun) and then goes on to show how those combine together into a wonderfull whole.

Sure, but a great deal of people hold clearances in and outside of the US Military (over 1.5 million hold Top Secret according to Wikipedia) - doesn't mean you were privy to information that was sensitive or you didn't need to know.

Not saying there's anything more to the USS Thresher itself, just commenting that a clearance doesn't automatically entitle you to all the information about everything.
I agree. I've grown so used to it in my workflows that I just can't work without it - and so Chrome is simply impossible for me.

I agree but with the cavaet that animated SVGs can be good for some special cases:

* Loading indicator - from a UX perspective we are used to this so having a non-animated loading is weird. I think gmail used to do it but that was back in the mid 2000s.

* Confirmation of a user action - if I have sent an email then a sound and/or animation can feel good. It is not necessary but sort of adds a magic to the application.

* Where the animation is useful in explaining something, for example, an explanation of balancing trees.

We shouldn't use them on:

* Static "non-app" information pages / landing pages etc.

* As a button icon pre-action. E.g. the word SUBMIT sliding from side to side would be annoying!
FWIW, the consensus on /r/datahoarder seems to be that Seagates should be the absolute last choice for long-term storage.

I have no idea what systems are in place to prevent things like this to happen. I hope they are VERY good.

My experience as software engineer teaches me that as things become more and more complex
in a system the risk of a bug increase. And opacity is a double edge sword.

Even if you have a buggy system, you do not say "Let get rid of it" without talking about the alternatives. Other thing to consider is: "full rewrites are generally a bad idea".

I would like to open this to constructive suggestions but I am afraid that without an inside view we are just shouting the breeze.

Current iPhone has the power to do so, and can connect via ApplePlay and bluetooth. So the only holdup is software.

Maybe this year's WWDC will show us something closer to that.

Please keep the animated SVG's away!

Yes. Now, from the people who brought you the <blink> tag, continuous junky animations.

You can also do spinning logos in WebGL, but you shouldn't.

The only legit use for this is when you want clicking on a button to indicate that something happened. If you click on a "send" button, and an envelope zips across the screen and disappears, it's OK.
If you click on the "Buy" button, it would be useful to have an animation which shows money flying out of your wallet and disappearing. (But Marketing will never go for that.)
It would be good to have feedback like that for buttons which do nothing to the display and keep you on the same page, but have some external effect.

(Remember "material design?" Whatever happened to that?)

I think an even better approach is to tell MATE to use i3 as its window manager. It's totally seamless and works perfectly.

Here is a blog post I wrote on how to do it: https://www.mattgreer.org/articles/mate-and-i3/

I also created a MATE panel applet so you don't need to have an i3bar.

In Finland, the biggest bank is actually just a group of local banks. So if I sign up for a bank account up north, I am the customer of the bank way up there, which is a separate legal entity from the bank down in the south.

Of course, if you do move and you want to apply for a new credit card, they will mail the card and paper work to any of the locations, so it's not that bad. And all of the banks in the group have an unified online banking system, no branch numbers needed. However, when I switched between the different banks, I had to get new login details for the online bank, which was kinda sucky.
Definitely true, but the article is about releasing unclassified documents
Indeed, you can. The first thing to learn here is that the hash (#) signifies a literal symbol. So, #a is a symbol, whereas 'a' is a string (of length 1 and containing the character $a).

The second thing to learn is that the dollar sign ($) signifies a character value, so $b is the value of the character "b" and $c is the value of the character "c".

#() signifies a literal array created at compile time.

Thus, #($a #a 'a' 1 1.0) is an array that contains the character $a, the symbol #a, the string 'a', the integer 1, and the floating value 1.0). Easy peasy.
I'd tend to agree with this categorizing certain free blogs/web content above paywalled newspaper content. I can't really remember the last time information available from a news organization actually allowed me to change my behavior such that it helped me achieve any of my long term goals, or even modified my long term goals for that matter. Impacts of things like extreme weather and economic trends, and recently disease trends are about the only thing news is ok for, and even then, I find good comment threads give me a better general sense for the actual severity of things to come.
Where do "facts derived from books" come from? Archives and original research. Wouldn't it make more sense, and be economically (and legally) more defensible to index those primary sources, than books?
