Well that's quite rude, you don't know me at all so you have no idea how much experience I have. And it's also quite contradictory... if the string is only rarely to be parsed by developers, why would "any web developer worth their salt" bother memorizing every browser's user agent? Experienced web developers don't have anything better to do than memorize a useless string they rarely have to work with?
Identifying emotions, yes.
Your comparison is unfair. Authors can make videos autoplay, play on scroll or whatever. Authors don’t need to put ads or trackers in their videos, and there is nothing stopping them from adding ads or trackers to a gif (replace the source with an ad every couple of loops; in fact the 1px transparent gif is the original tracker). Everything else you complained about can also be present with gifs (except the picture-in-picture; which is simply not a feature animated gifs).

Your twitter complaints for example is completely invalid, gifs cannot play sound at all, nor can you start from beginning if you wanted to. In fact I find it very frustrating to have to wait an entire loop to wait for an instructional gif to start from scratch, with videos you can auto-play on scroll, you can pause, you can rewind, etc.

Btw. your favorite vs-code website stalls in my browser, spins up my fan and scrolls really sluggishly because of all the gifs.
Because of states rights as well as legal rights afforded to every US citizen, a lot of the same options / technologies aren't available by design. You also have to deal with two distinctly different cultures with drastically different outcomes of citizens actions.

We can look to them for inspiration, but to expect the same actions / outcomes isn't prudent and pulls away from the focus of figuring out what we can do here in a realistic manner.

>I'm not sure I understand the "bad for the economy" side of things

Rest assured, you don't.

What about the people driving the Ubers, or the middle-class property owners who have come to depend on the income they receive from their extra room via Airbnb, or the stewards, pilots, and all the other airport employees, all whom depend on "us" riding, renting, flying, and buying... Not to fund anything close to a wealthy lifestyle, but likely their basic living expenses. Their many more of them than the people at the top its almost as if the so-called "ultra-rich" are completely irrelevant.

This isn't all that surprising because this is exactly how networking is expected to work. If it is desired to kill all active connections, then it should be explicitly done at the time of VPN connection.
It sounds to me like you could do a lot more to just educate the parents.

You don't get mad and shout at a young child who has decided to put the silverware away. You talk to them about the process of making and serving dinner. He could have been shown that one way to make the silverware more orderly is set the table for everyone while Mom cooks.

That was my response to my then five year old being impatient with dinner not being ready. I taught him he was allowed to set the table to keep himself occupied and help me get dinner ready faster.

He wasn't required to set it. He was empowered to do so if he chose rather than being a pain in the butt for me.

Working in a Java/Kotlin environment, everyone always handles all null cases when working in Kotlin, but they are frequently overlooked in the Java applications. Many of the Java apps compensate with more levels of catch-all exception handlers targetting unexpected NPEs. The only time we get NPEs in Kotlin is when Kotlin allows them because of the Kotlin/Java interop problem.

This is a shortcut to achieve better coverage, brittle, possibly wrong, and not maintainable; and it is not really giving you any additional confidence on the code. If you're pressed for time, why waste it on something with close to zero value? Coverage by itself is an empty goal, you're better off with no tests than this.
REST and Hypermedia in 2019
1. TSX has been broken in varying degrees in every architecture since haswell, and not always in a nice way like "always abort." In various steppings of haswell and early broadwell TSX was in various states of disablement, meaning that sometimes the instructions were advertised (in cpuid etc) to work but had subtle bugs, sometimes were advertised to work but were disabled such that any RTM instruction caused SIGILL, and sometimes correctly advertised to not work. The detection of the state of TSX was sufficiently unreliable that glibc ended up with a blacklist of CPU model numbers that were too problematic to even try using TSX.

2. The pthread implementation of mutex using TSX behaved differently from the prior implementation in cases of misuse. This was deemed acceptable because applications that were impacted were using mutexes illegally, but the result was that a ton of software in all the distros started crashing randomly (IIRC the scenario was a double unlock. pre-TSX glibc didn't complain, post-TSX the program crashed or something).

3. TSX was not generally beneficial. The glibc implementation did something like try using a transaction 3 or 5 times before giving up. The worst-case performance of starting the transaction, going as far into the critical section as possible, aborting, repeat 2x, then finally taking the lock normally is much worse than just taking the lock.
Not sure it is fair to say that the world really had advanced warning from China. They were saying everything was okay and people-people transmission is low. All trust was lost, so time was reset when Italy was hit, that is the real time zero, because no one trusts China.
Using Hypermedia to Design Event-Driven UIs
Terrible take. They use it to apply many security and privacy policies! Just not the one we're talking about now.

Difficult to figure out how to actually do this, especially so without a crazy UX.

They should figure out the default apps thing. Though I don't know what you'd need for SMS, there's not much system integration there besides Siri (which I think supports plugins) and maybe sms: links?
Even if it isn't a revenue stream it can still have value to them, it doesn't have to be for "fun". This may simply be one of their ways of acquiring metrics.

As for it not appearing in their TOS, the "risk", it isn't unusual for the left hand to not know what the right is doing. Those drafting the legal text may not have known that this particular analytics system was being used.

There are many arguments for why this was overlooked, and why it exists, without it having to be direct revenue.

You read the code. The computer program you.
Number two certainly benefits the consumer, speaking as a consumer. Back in the old days you had the choice of paying hundreds of dollars for some software, then hundreds more for the next version, then hundreds more for the next one and so on. And if you wanted to try it but wasn't sure you'd actually use it, you either had to pray there was a demo or pay the full price and deal with the consequences.

Microsoft Office, for example. $250 license cost every three years, or $99/year for the SaaS model. If you want to try it, you pay $10 for a month and if you don't like it you lost $10 rather than $250. And if you subscribe long term, the SaaS version's pricing is very much on par with the old style of selling software.
Right now I am not doing anything, and I am looking for something new in my life. That's why I am asking for resources to find "my path", as I've already dropped out twice from official post-HS institutions and to put it mildly "I don't want to f*ck up again".

Thanks for your reply.
Nice. This would help solve the issues of deploying pytorch/tensorflow models in a streaming environment (Apache Beam do not make it easy). I am curious as to how performant this is when compared to Flink or Spark Streaming/Structured Streaming. When you deploy deep learning models in pyspark, you run into performance issues from serializing from jvm to python.

edit: just found out flink now has a python api! so include it along in the comparison. not sure if the apache flink api also has serialization overhead.
Yes! Other types of cards are coming soon. Birthdays are just the starting point for Cardybot. Thanks for the feedback.
I really wished github would allow mp4 videos in the pull-request/issue threads. Getting a capture of the bug makes things easy. Being able to control the playback of the demo would be even better.

AMD Tries to Mitigate GPU Source Code Leak
"Box A" is an ONT or optical network terminal, which is really just a media converter with some additional intelligence related to how GPON schedules use of the media. It's more or less the same thing as an ADSL modem (actual modem only) except that GPON usually uses Ethernet while ADSL usually uses ATM. But both are used the other way sometimes.

For "Box B" you can use anything you wish as long as it supports PPPoE. Contact CenturyLink by phone or chat to tell them you need your PPP credentials, they'll have no trouble giving them to you. The only trick besides PPP is that CenturyLink usually uses a VLAN for customer equipment on their GPON, but that's pretty common with ethernet over ADSL as well so routers made for use with a DSL modem should have it in their UIs alongside the PPP info. Unfortunately most newer routers are made without this use case in mind so there may not be support, in which case you can always upgrade to something a little more configurable or use a computer as a router. You can ask the CSR for the VLAN ID but in every case I've seen it's 201.

I've done this a number of times and never had the CSR give me any trouble. They also don't seem to keep very good track of who has CL-owned CPE, I've ended up with "free" CenturyLink routers a couple of times because they fell through the cracks when switching to my own.

Diff is reverse engineering a many to one function - many possible insert/delete sequences applied to string X map to the same string Y.

What would it look like to store files natively as insert/delete sequences instead? So instead of filesystems and diffs on top, we could have DIFFsystems and files on top. Kind of like a WAL. Files would be checkpoints in the WAL for efficiency, and diffs would be 100% accurate between two checkpoints. Probably takes a hell of a lot more space & CPU though..

I'd need to prove it, they'd skillfully dodge the request, I'd have to hire expensive lawyers (500/hr) and make a more formal request that's harder to dodge, they'd say the data is distributed across the globe in multiple jurisdictions in a very complex form, I'd have to hire an entire law company that works with international cases (1M/month?), they'd drag their feet and mud the discovery requests as much as possible and at the end of the day it'll be about who runs out of money first and who has better connections.

> Many, many more people drink alcohol responsibly than those who cause problems with it.

The argument is that those who do cause issues cause them in a disproportionate manner that it makes total sense to ban it outright. It is 100% the logical thing to do.

The Tylenol argument doesn't make sense because it is a medicine that can have good come out of it. Alcohol is dangerous, and it mainly exists for companies to profit hugely from it (it's sufficient to watch the lewd ads around alcohol to know what's going on).

I already have about four years of experience in data science/machine learning work with projects listed on my resume. What is the right (or wrong) way to apply to these kinds of jobs?
the whole point of using shared_ptr<T> is to remove the need to "know when the original goes out of scope".

you don't need threads for what you're describing: simply passing it to a same-thread method/function which creates a heap-based copy will already complicate your understanding of the lifetime of the referenced object.

concrete example: we make wide use of the so-called "signals&slots" pattern, which is more accurately denoted as "anonymous callbacks". we have had a consistent source of serious lifetime mgmt problems caused by (boost|sigc|std)::bind()-ing a shared_ptr<T> into the argument list for the callback - the referenced object now lives for as long as the callback itself lives. This isn't explicit in the code, and even today, probably 12-15 years after we first realized the anti-pattern, we still do it from time to time.
> One of the more remarkable electronic machines of 2000 is a development of one on which hundreds of thousands of dollars had been spent in the middle years of the 20th century by Dr. Vladimir Zworykin and Dr. John von Neumann. The purpose of this improved Zworykin-Von Neumann automaton is to predict the weather with an accuracy unattainable before 1980. It is a combination of calculating machine and forecaster. The calculator solves thousands of separate equations in a minute; the automatic forecaster carries out the computer’s instructions and predicts the weather from hour to hour. In 1950, meteorologists had no time to deal with the 50-odd variables that should have been mathematically handled to predict the weather 24 hours in advance.

Most likely, both my sons qualify as somewhere on the autism spectrum. They were never formally diagnosed and I used to routinely give advice to parents whose children did have a formal diagnosis when I was involved with an educational organization.

Edit: I left out the critical part. I gave them advice and routinely said for the longest time "I don't have any ASD kids, but when my kid does that..." It happened so much, I began to wonder if maybe I did, actually, have ASD kids. (It was later somewhat confirmed by unofficial professional feedback.)

My first website was a homeschooling blog. It grew out of the seeming popularity of my emails on a homeschooling list with a lot of parents of special-needs kids.

I know quite a lot about autism and related issues.

My oldest was such a pill, he was nicknamed demon child when he was little. He was an adolescent before he understood what I meant because I absolutely wasn't vilifying him, though he was hugely challenging to deal with.

Humans aren't just born with social skills. There is a huge component of being raised right that I think is currently given short shrift by a society too quick to medicalize every parenting challenge, as if there weren't any socially awkward or shy kids before we had fancy labels for them.
sure, and if you did want to buy that oil, the absolute floor of the price you could pay (unless there was a demand surplus on the market) would be the labor required to go pick it up in a can and carry it to the market. and competition would drive the price down to that level as suppliers compete.

I yelled at my special-needs son for opening the oven door and using it as a stepping stool to see what I was cooking. I wasn't mad. I was scared he would climb on it while the oven was hot.

Because I wasn't mad and he heard me yell "no!!!" at full volume, he thought that's just how you pronounced the word and yelled it the first two weeks he began using it. I would look at him funny and he would look funny like "Did I pronounce it wrong?" After two weeks, he stopped yelling the word.
Using classes everywhere was made much easier with the auto-importing.

In fact the auto-importing means that regular functions (which have no auto-importing mechanism) are now used less than they probably should be.
