I think for it to be a clinical problem, there needs to be a struggle. Like, in my particular case, I enjoy staying up late. The neighbors are quiet, my housemates are generally falling asleep, and I've got an hour or two to myself to knock something out or research something I find interesting. There's no struggle though; I found a job that lets me work an evening shift and I couldn't be happier with the state of things. I feel like if I needed to get up regularly very early in the morning, there would be an adjustment period and then I would equalize on a new normal.

That certainly fits the description of "night owl," but I don't think there's anything clinical about it. My particular manifestation is more of a lifestyle choice, and based on what I observe in the tech field I'm hardly alone in making this choice. Folks who do have a sleeping disorder causing night owl tendencies to manifest (especially when they'd prefer, socially, to rise early) are in a different boat altogether, and I'm... honestly not qualified to classify them. It's an interesting space.

My recollection at the time was IE4 had a working DOM while Netscape's DOM was buggy and left a lot to be desired. It was there, but it was a struggle.

I don't say that to crap on Netscape. Microsoft was a well-funded company with a lot of experts who had years of experience create applications with DOMs. Also, they had the luxury of delivering a browser for one operation system.

Netscape was a brand new company that went public 7 months after it's first release and 1.5 years after its founding. They sold investors the premise they were going to become the Microsoft of the internet. They had a fraction of the resources while they were trying to creating browsers, email clients, collaboration software, web server, and a host of other software for multiple platforms.
If you just want a DNSCrypt and DoH proxy for Windows you can use Simple DNSCrypt. It also has over 60 DNS providers included and has data on which ones use filters to block requests, which ones log requests, and which ones support DNSSEC. How much you trust this data is up to you.

Things like aim/movement fall into the grey area between mechanics and fundamentals.

Raw aim = mechanics.

Crosshair placement = fundamentals.

Basic Movement = mechanics.

Pathing = fundamentals.

You're absolutely right about things just being hard though. The gaps between even professional players can be huge in one area and nonexistent in another. Once you take that and apply it at the team level, it's easy to understand why a player could shine among a certain group, and do terribly with another, even if both groups were of very similar 'skill.'
Similar approach, although Subtle Medical are not using adversarial training, just plain old conv-nets with a non-adversarial loss.
It was announced in April, so I'm not sure exactly why people are saying it's sudden. Am I missing something?

Note that a | b is already a disaster if you try to use subclasses of set. In python 2.7, iirc it would return a set of a's type but without calling the constructor. In python 3 it seems to return a set (not the type of a or the type of b).
DNSSEC is the least useful of the lot. It only authenticates, doesn't encrypt, so it's not enough on its own, you have to use it in combination with a VPN. But the VPN would be enough on its own between the client and the recursive DNS, since it does both.

Between the recursive and authoritative DNS the VPN wouldn't exist, but if the attacker is there then DNSSEC is in trouble again because it still doesn't encrypt (no confidentiality). What can be used on that path is DNSCurve, because it does encrypt even where there isn't a VPN.

The majority of domains also aren't DNSSEC signed anyway, so it doesn't even authenticate them.
Not all reorgs are downsizes.
One idea: Provide stalls that are just large enough for a single car to fit with a gap of 1m between the stalls. Put a hole in the wall on the passenger side where the doors would be so that they open into the hole and allow someone on the passenger side to exit into the gap.

Every single PC game made since the mid90s?

Also why the restriction to C++? A big benefit of Win32 is that being in C it can be used by many other languages since pretty much every language has some FFI that speaks the platform's C ABI.
Probably just taking advantage of the massive market downswing yesterday/today. They know the Disney stock price is going to tank in the short term along with the rest of the market, might as well rip off the band-aid of Iger leaving while people are already selling.
This article cites some very questionable research and seems to have a lack of rigor, in general. It's all fine to dislike Google, but technology is going to be a part of your kids' lives whether you like it or not. It is to their detriment if you believe otherwise.
Thank you for writing this up, or reposting.

I agree that it is better to understand math, and computer science, intuitively first. Learning the basics instead of learning how to think in them forces memorization and is frankly in a time gone by.

If only I could've been taught this way when I was younger, then I'd actually be any good at any advanced math.
Given the funny numbers, I'd also be interested in the number of accidents right after an autopilot disengage.

Does the car disengaging autopilot and smashing into something a quarter second later count as an "autopilot engaged" crash?
Why do people do that...
I agree with your earlier point, but disputing the usage of the term computational filtering here is truly pedantic. Yes, by definition machine learning approaches are a subset of computational approaches, but there are clear differences in terms of (at least) failure modes between machine learning and other techniques. In context, "non-machine-learning based filtering methods" is what was being referred to.

Importantly, the internals of non-machine-learning based approaches are more readily understandable and their output is much more predictable.
The article relies to a large extent on the blogs of cranks, if you click through to any of the sources, none of which are primary, you get derangement such as:

I appreciate that people have privacy concerns, but this meter-long blog post is the result of just imagining a bunch of stuff that an evil company might do and then searching for a bunch of second-hand innuendo to support your hallucinations, in the tradition of people who have been ranting about gold-fringed flags on the Internet for decades. It doesn't advance the discourse and it isn't redeemed just by focusing on the boogeyman of the moment.
> In The Dispossessed, she contrasts the different political systems of two neighboring worlds, not to argue which one is best, per se, but to show that in order for these systems to exist, humans need to actively participate in and reproduce them.

This is kind of a strange take. I find it difficult to imagine anyone reading The Dispossessed and not coming to the conclusion that Le Guin's loyalties lie much stronger with one side than the other.
I like the idea of enabling payments to content producers based on the amount of time spent on their site. Curious how much this is actually happening. A quick search for "brave payments to content producers" did not return anything resembling transparency about the aggregate amounts of these payments.
It feels to me like even a nice comment about Brave is an outright threat to openness and virtue. IMO it’s the same bizarre Manichaean zeitgeist that pops up in so many other aspects of life and discussion.

Interestingly I played splendor for the first time against some experienced players a couple of weeks ago, and after they explained the rules and how the best strategy is to slowly build up resources, I googled ‘how do you win at splendor’ and everyone said to try and grab the most expensive cards first.

So I did that, then they said it was beginners luck after I won. Then I won two more times, and they said ‘wow you just must be good at games’, and I said no, I’m good at googling.

That’s my whole IT career in a nutshell.
This is an excellent question, and I'm disappointed this hasn't received more attention.

Secretary problem - applicable to anything where you have a lot of choices, such as marriage, getting a job (not just hiring), picking a business partner, anything you have to accept/refuse.

The solution is you reject the first 37% of applicants, use that to establish a benchmark, and then pick the first one who is better than any rejected. You're 37% likely to find the best candidate. But such is life. In other words, once you marry someone out of 10 choices, there's 63% odds you'll find someone better later.

There's Amdahl's Law/Gustafson's Law, explained nicely here: https://www.embeddedrelated.com/showarticle/1033.php

Basically, upon first observations, Amdahl's Law seems true... even if you put 10x more effort into something, it seems like the total output is 42% higher. But this total output being 42% higher means that you can also do X, Y, and Z, 42% faster. Having Z 42% faster leads to A being 20% faster, leading to B being 8% faster, and B is a feedback back into the loop.

In more practical terms, much faster computers means software is written slightly faster, but slightly faster software allows for more complicated electronics CAD, which allows us much faster computers, which allows for even more advanced technical developments like Internet and cryptocurrency.

In short, if you're locked on Amdahl's Law (minor gains for tremendous effort), find a way to utilize Gustafson's Law (looping the gains back).
I can say "I'd rather not take cyanide" without having to try it first.
Great comment, Thank you
It's incredible how someone with so much knowledge and programming experience still came down to help newbies in the Elixir forum. He was one of the big reasons why I started learning Elixir and owe the career pivot to him. God bless you Mr. Armstrong.
I am EXCITED to see how this plays out.

It is astounding to me how locked down certain medical tests are.

Like, if I want an EKG, why can't I just walk in to a place and get it done at a reasonable price? And without a doctor's approval?

And I pay for insurance. But I just want to be able to monitor my vitals myself, whenever I feel like it.

It seems like it would drive higher utilization of equipment and lower prices if these types of diagnostic tests were readily available at a place like a CVS or a Walmart.

I would gladly even pay $50 per month for unlimited access to a place to just come in, get my blood sugar, kidney function, heart function, liver function, etc. tested once per month!

As important as health is, and as much as Americans spend on it, it is shocking to me how gated everything is.

It hurts my health and my pocketbook simultaneously!

I've always wondered why a company like Walmart doesn't just provide $20 EKGs, and $25 tooth cleanings.

Like, why is so easy to get a hamburger at any time of day, but like pulling teeth to just run somewhere and get a quick, inexpensive EKG to make sure everything is ok with your heart..?

What am I missing? Are there legitimate safety reasons these mundane diagnostics are so locked down?

Or are these services available and I just don't know about it?

Again, I pay for health insurance, but I still feel like if I want a quick EKG, it will take me 3 weeks to see a doctor, and by then I might be dead. I don't want to see a doctor, I just want an EKG done for my own peace of mind.

But health Care is not my area of expertise. So perhaps there are very legitimate reasons these diagnostics and labs are so difficult to self-request at reasonable prices.
It is absolutely not a do nothing job. Every one I've ever interacted with seemed overstressed from the insane work load/hours, if anything. 12-14 hour shifts are common.
Hunger and hunger pangs disappear by day 3 or 4, and what pain there is almost entirely mental. Lots of people do 7-10 fasts (especially in California), and this experience is quite typical if not universal. Though, perhaps once you get to the point of starvation the experience changes.

I've done a few 5-7 day juice fasts starting at ~600 calories per day--all sugar as fat and protein prevent hunger from subsiding. After the hunger subsides it's easier to taper off entirely. The hard part is dealing with stress. Even though it's common to experience a mental high and to even perform well athletically, the difficulty with stress betrays the fact that your body has declining energy.
"Iger won't be very influential". You don't know Bob. His voice will pull strings behind the scene. He may even work his way back. Very few have his understanding of all of the parts. He will be leaned on heavily. Plus he is someone with political favours to spend.
This is why I like dominion so much; you can play with random sets of cards, and watching the meta develop over ~an hour as you play the game is really fascinating. Sometimes someone will see a combo which is really powerful, and other times we get caught up in something useless before realizing.

> It's not philosophically any different.

I disagree. I think using techniques that work by attempting to model physical processes that we understand are philosophically different from ML approaches that are learning arbitrary functions.
Kinda. But it should be available to everyone, not just Pro, and it should be permanent until you decide to delete it instead of getting deleted after you close the application (as you may want to take your time using the application for a while before you decide if it is worth installing on your base system). This also implies that it should be possible to move files between the VM and the base system, preferably in a manner as simple as drag-and-dropping the files to/from the VM.
The author is a quack. Half of the references citied are referring things that aren't Chromebooks.

The biggest head-scratcher was the Missouri one:
"My voice to text was being stored as well as any search my kids did, and I could say ‘sure my daughter was searching on Google,’ but my phone uses Safari. When I used my texting app on my iPhone, it recorded my voice, as well as typing out the words and saving it on my Google Drive,” said Brette Hay, the Ely’s daughter and a teacher at Pershing Middle School."

My son's in 2nd grade and just started using Chromebooks and iPads for enrichment activity in class. IMO, it's fantastic. It is incredibly powerful tool at this level for math practice, and some reading/english enrichment stuff. If a school is eliminating books or something wacky like that, that's another story.
You can do a 20% project for them even if they don't have headcount and managers can view your performance history so it is not hard to join an interesting project if you are good. Also if you are good enough they will add headcount to the team so you can join even if there weren't any before. Ask me how I know.
It does, IBM format is the most basic floppy standard (same for ASCII and EBCDIC). I watched the video again- they did use ImageDisk for the bulk of the transfer- you can see it flashed a few times (13:46 is one point). It's the mostly blue screen with the red bar on the top.

Well if it’s just an EKG you’re after: https://www.alivecor.com/

But I agree with your overall point regardless
> specially when the programming languages are a bit more expressive that pseudo-assembly.

Most higher level languages (java, c#, python) handle most of those much better, albeit with a different set of trade offs. Things like adding a private field to a class won't break binary compatibility in a c# apllication. C++ is fairly unique in that it tries to be high level and tries to be low level but the cost is it pushes the complexity of this split personality onto the developers.
I feel like the game tolerates some bending of the rules so long as the techniques were available and used in the 1920s--tar or earwax or whatever on the ball, a certain amount of incorrect calls from the umpire, and so on.

I don't know if there's been any official change, but I think it's pretty obvious it's going to be used in some form or other. Unless the project ends up being an irredeemable failure (e.g., fundamental design decisions make it not performant enough, insecure, etc), there's no reason for them to just drop it. It solves too many of Google's problems with regard to Android and Chrome OS.

Umm, WAT?

The answer to this is simple. Paz de la Huerta named Iger (and Eisner) in her lawsuit against Weinstein. The allegations in short were that that their behavior allowed Miramax to cover up what happened to her.

Weinstein was just convicted of Rape. That's separate from the civil cases, but with a criminal conviction on even one, the civil cases become that much easier to win.

In my mind either he's stepping down because it will help in damage control/settlement amount negotiations, or it was part of a settlement itself.

Failed to comprehend which subject, linear algebra? I would argue no, and other people who are more on the pure mathematics side would agree [0][1].

snicker7 said it very succinctly:

> However, in mathematics proper, it is absolutely the case that linear algebra is about linear transformations. Indeed, this is the only interpretation that remains meaningful when trying to generalize (e.g. to functional analysis / multilinear algebra).

If you're point is that I failed to comprehend matrices, then I don't think you have enough data to make that claim since I don't really talk about matrices. I kind of address that in my other comment [2].

I don't follow your point around "a wide array of problems and models are the same thing". That's a very vague general statement that I certainly comprehend (not sure how you inferred otherwise). Specifically, I don't see how that point relates at all to the claim I made about linear algebra.

When my wife and I did our estate planning we had the lawyer put specific terms in to help ensure that our future (and now current) kids would assume ownership of all digital accounts. At the time there was only one example from another state we were able to use that had been proven successful in court, so that’s what we adopted.

Now that we’ve moved to California I need to update the documents to fit our laws as well the current understanding of the law is. Point being I’m seeing a lawyer soon for this specific case alone and the wording MUST be tested in court for us to even know where to start. For anyone studying law, IP law will make some money for now and quite a while still.

P.S. if anyone can recommend a Bay Area estate attorney with this experience please let me and others know!
