Hilbert, Courant, Bourbaki, Hadley, Dieudonné, Hardy, Descartes, Cauchy... They're all there. Could last you a lifetime.

For more "recent" ones, there's https://mirtitles.org/, which specializes in Soviet era books from MIR Publishers or, as I've known them in my translated college textbooks, "Éditions MIR". Demidovich, Smirnov, Piskunov, Kolmogorov, Tarasov, Irodov, they're all there...

As an aside, look at "Cours d'Analyse de l'École Polytechnique" by Augustin-Louis Cauchy in 1821. Look at the typography, the layout, table of contents. Pretty LaTeX like if you ask me. The last paragraph of the introduction where he thanks people who've helped him... Poisson, Ampère, and Coriolis. Damn.
Definitely didn’t help that your comment sounded negative and angry
I'm very much only addressing the small string of text I quoted; I agree it should have been opt-in since many people don't check their email diligently.
Pure altruism can be a great business and life strategy. How does someone feel when they realize they’ve spend thousands of dollars on a Netflix account they don’t use? It’s not in Netflix’s interest to have people out there hating Netflix.

Ever see a person who was just really great to everyone and the world seems to have rewarded them for it? That doesn’t always happen but sometimes it does.
Is it really? My recollection is that IBM was already not an R&D powerhouse when the IBM PC came out in 1981, hence them building it out of commodity supplies and outsourcing the OS to Microsoft. As late as 2011 (20 years after IBM's transformation into a services company), the dividend yield was 1.5%, rather than the current 5%.

No they’re underrated. We all know the stats. Driving isn’t the safest activity. Having said that there’s a lot of wishful thinking that the current state of ML can do any better if we were to just put them on the roads today as-is.
If by application database you mean to the level of an RDBMS then no. It's a key-value data store. You get your CRUD operations, expiry, key listing and the ability to do pagination with keys always returning in lexicographically sorted order. Any relation data you want to have would be using the key prefixes, e.g.:

article:1 -> {"user": 1, "content": "..."}
user:1 -> {"name": "username"}
user:1:articles -> [1, ...]

Registered on hacker news JUST to post this. I saw this email earlier today, skimmed it and thought "hmm cool they're competing with Linkedin or something" and then immediately forgot. I had absolutely no idea they were going to exploit my data and breach my expectations of privacy to drive traffic to their website (an issue in and of itself). And the part where they tell you to go ahead and opt out is hidden in there! Really not good
Also take a look at GoCardless
Because not alienating customers is bad for business apparently

No wonder "no contract" chains are growing in some countries.

Less BS for the consumer, even if they have to "pay more" (i.e. the actual cost of the service).

(But yeah in the case where you actually want to pay for a gym membership and not go, those seem optimized for it)
> I would have loved to get this out earlier in the week

You didn’t launch anything. All you had to do was edit the “1 week” part of your email and you could have sent earlier

Also, are you genuinely surprised by this backlash? Did you really think making people’s info public was going to be a popular decision? It’s hard for me to understand how common sense doesn’t prevail in this situation.
Another good example would be Vietnam. We took this virus very seriously and the government announced a mandatory lock down pretty early.

It’s probably due to corporate travel policy on rental car. Most of the time it’s limited to certain class of vehicles, and it’s a hassle to upgrade depending on the company policy (screen capture price comparisons, director/VP approval, etc.)

I actually have some scripts for managing not just profiles but extensions. Hopefully I can get it cleaned up in time to put on Github.
The original (and long dead) Rust irc channel used to be full of C++ people chatting with OCaml people. Those were the days :)
It’s not strange. It’s artificial friction to make it harder to opt out. It’s obvious they don’t want people to opt out so they make it very difficult to do so. What a shady company.
This is super brilliant. Have you tested this with the new Hermes engine on both iOS and Android?
If I were driving I'd definitely stop for the person in the road projection at https://youtu.be/1cSw4fXYqWI?t=85

LiDAR also isn't a silver bullet. Similar attacks are possible such as simply shining a bright light at the sensor overwhelming the sensor as well as more advanced attacks such as spoofing an adversarial signal.
Just to add to that: Integer overflows in release builds can be turned on, and even when they are off, at very least they are not UBs. More info in http://huonw.github.io/blog/2016/04/myths-and-legends-about-....

We plan to add more engineering-specific sections to the profiles. I think there's a lot of room to just display what matters to engineers/eng hiring managers better. Then we want to use the profiles to push the industry to look beyond traditional credentials (school, work at top companies). Recruiters say that they want to do this, but we need to get them off of LinkedIn where everything is designed around the traditional credentials.
Yes I think it may only be new bike that are harder to get right now. The second hand market may be better.
Dell Ubuntu is not a good choice, they don’t provide proper drivers and their support has zero knowledge about Linux

I care about security, but that doesn't preclude me from jailbreaking my iphone and running dozens of tweaks that haven't been "vetted by professionals", along with sideloaded apps that haven't been through Apple's vetting process either.

My MacBook runs homebrew which currently lists 84 packages installed plus their dependencies, very few of which will have been professionally vetted, and of the 127 apps in my /Applications folder only a third of them came from the Mac App Store, and I would estimate that a quarter of the others aren't even signed with a paid developer certificate.

I want the apps that I get from Apple directly to be safe. I want to know that when I put my faith in the App Store that I'm not lulling myself into a false sense of security. I want my parents and girlfriend, who are not technical people, to have that same sense of security without them having to learn entire programming languages to vet source code themselves.

The benefits of closed systems don't go away just because you say so.

Please don't editorialize titles. The baby died "with" Covid-19, not from Covid-19.

Even more echoes.
Well, that's because the "lxc" command-line tool manages LXD -- you can't use the "lxc" commands without using LXD.

Arguably it should've been called "lxd-client" or "lxdc" but they probably just felt it was too wordy -- most admins that used LXC and wanted to switch to LXD felt more comfortable typing "lxc <command>". And those who used LXC had no need for a top-level "lxc" command because they used the individual programs directly. Again, since the people working on the projects are the same there's nothing wrong with borrowing the name from the other project. :D
Not to mention if the podcast got so full of advertisements and money grabs like that many people, including me, would stop listening. I’ve seen so many podcasts start out good then get more and more into advertising obligations, which often comes with things such as increasing the volume/interruption characteristics of said ads.

Why does it need to work in any human language? It isn't as if self driving cars need to work on Zulu road signs before they can be rolled out in California. I'd be surprised if they ever needed to train it on more than 4 languages per country they wanted to roll out to.
Haha, you aren't wrong.
This seems to be one of those react native holy grails; I've been building an emoji picker similar to the one Slack uses but it's been a chore! I recently discovered Modalize, and it's working fairly well, but for a long SectionList performance was abysmal; there's so many levers to pull with any of those VirtualizedList components it's tough to tell if it was me or modalize.

Excited to check this out!

Yes, it is a mess.

Still on us though. Unless we want to see the nation invaded, there really is no one else with standing to address the growing problem.

A class level action is needed. When things reach clearly, can't miss it, can't live with it levels of unacceptable, we may see that happen.

Or, maybe we see just enough placating and theatre to trundle along for decades.

Last time we moved like that, it was the 30's.

People struck the crap out of basically everyone, handing FDR position to go and get the New Deal done. Those strikes and actions were illegal and legal. A whole class in high solidarity acting right out.

His follow on was never seriously discussed and in the decades since, we have seen many moves to prevent a similar scenario from happening again.

What we do not know is whether that history can be repeated.

The response today might just be brutal.

It is all terribly expensive either way too.
Why would any developer even want to release their app in walled garden when they can do whatever they want by releasing elsewhere?
Yeah, I was using “strange” in a pointedly ironic sense. There’s no good way to spin the juxtaposition between the two standards.
I’d second that podcast recommendation. The episode with Jon Masters is an incredible conversation.
How'd the company turned out? I'm pretty interested in accessible web dev and have toyed with the idea of working on profiling tools, or maybe something to show abled users just how shitty their site is to use with various access tools.
How did you fix it? I'm going through that exact thing. I think I have to retrain myself to relax my chest and stomach muscles and breathe deeply at the same time, but it's super difficult and I can only do 2/3.
Life extension interventions.

Apple does give you the ability to install non-app-store apps (some without tethering), e.g. sideloading or enterprise certificates, although I agree it's not as easy as flipping a switch.

They should also provide a way to downgrade iOS via Xcode for those with a dev account, but that's another story.
Yup. But him making a point of it does raise general awareness.

Good move on his part given his current scenario.
Had a similar experience with The Economist, it's also impossible to cancel your subscription online, you have to call them.

DJT fucked both US and EU when it started to create a wedge with trade tariffs and other issues. Instead of strengthening EU and US ties he weakened it and gives china more space to operate in.

China can play any games it wants when the rest of us are locked on making cheap political points by pointing finger at eachothers inadequate response to this pandemic.
A surprising number of human drivers would also not be able to 'detect' that 'except right turn' sign. Only 3 states offer driver's license exams in only English and California for example offers the exam in 32 different languages.

Even so, it is quite possible to train for this in general. Some human drivers will notice the sign and will override autopilot when it attempts to stop, this triggers a training data upload to Tesla. Even if the neural net does not 'understand' the words on the sign, it will learn that a stop is not necessary when that sign is present in conjunction with a stop sign.
A lifetime of lung problems (asthma, and many cases of pneumonia as a child) and martial arts has made me very conscious of my breathing. Spent a lot of time with physiotherapists working on breathing. In part just to strengthen muscles, but also to learn airway clearance techniques. Started practicing martial arts as a child, where there is often a strong focus on breath. Tried the Buteyko method for a while, but never fully internalized it.

There is, anecdotally, definitely some underappreciated value in slow breathing. Feeling anxious (for whatever reason)? Check your breathing and slow it down. Maybe throw in some alternate nostril breathing, though I'm not sure if it's the distraction that does it or the breathing. Light asthma attack and wheezing? Check your breathing, slow it down, maybe add some pursed lip exhalations. Major asthma attack? Inhaler :-).

But in spite of the improvements I've made to breathing while I'm awake, I still managed to develop sleep apnea. You win some, you lose some ...

Serious question but what is the advantage of getting a bigger car while on a business trip?

For a personal car I get it, as a bigger car is able to carry more people/objects but for a business trip I typically only have a small suitcase.

Every time I was given full size while on business I almost felt like it was a hassle more than anything else. It is more difficult to park in tight spots if I end up going to city centers.
Lots of new stuff sucks.

The english longbow was vastly superior to the first guns that came out, which were slow to load, unreliable to shoot, didn't work in the rain, and were extremely inaccurate.

3d printed stuff sucks. It's not very strong, it's not very pretty and takes a long time to create.

Meanwhile, take a look at this ML photo processing technique:

Then when the console breaks you have to pay your technician $100/hour in compensation, benefits, and taxes to remove and replace it.

No, you pay your minimum wage junior IT assistant to unplug the broken one and plug in a new one. That's the point of commodity hardware - it's cheaper to buy and cheaper to support.
We certainly reported it several times a couple of years ago before we switched to Unreal. Amazing and disappointing that it is still unresolved.

Sendgrid or Mailchimp let's you create templates which get filled with the custom details, though you'll likely be running a cron-job to get the data to send to the email provider.

Email is a bit of a pain, there is a reason these companies exist. They aren't cheap either.

Unless you've studied chi kung or pranayama or similar you've no idea what the breath holds in store. It's more than just the mechanics of rate or depth of breathing. You need to learn to relax and engage your attention to really connect with the subtler aspects of it. Energy Work by Robert Bruce is probably the best introduction.
This is why privacy.com is great. Whenever I sign up for a subscription, I create a virtual card and after paying for the first month, I "pause" the card (ie. decline all additional charges). When I get the notification that my payment failed and I'm actually getting value out of the subscription, I log in and change the status to "active" again.
My economist sub renewed at a cheaper/more reasonable rate (I think the common $130/yr that's at least better than newsstand) but I just think their subscription services are in the utter dark ages. Changing anything (Updating an expired credit card, change of address, etc) is painful.

I'll add a bit of caution for readers: CBT is useful to many but might not be enough, or the right tool, for everyone.

I tried it for years with multiple psychologists and had no progress. Eventually, I found a great psychologist who helped me with a blend of IFS ("internal family systems") and mindfulness to help me not constantly unknowingly suppress feeling and allow me to be present and process emotions.

There's lots of approaches out there, so if anyone's not making progress, try out some of the others!
First of all, I'd like to thank Microsoft for open-sourcing this, as well as early versions of MS-DOS; they are important pieces of computer history.

Now, a few software engineering observations (these are to my future self, not to Microsoft):

1) This is extremely minor, but it would have been nice if the main file (which I'm guessing is GWMAIN.ASM?) had been pointed to in the documentation. Reason: We're not in a language that has a default main file by custom, i.e., C's 'main.c'. But again, extremely minor...

2) This code is great, I mean, absolutely great for someone to learn x86 programming IF they have the prerequisite understanding about how memory is segmented in those early computers (including segment registers, etc.)... Reason: Very few basic x86 instructions are used, relative to the entire x86 instruction set...

3) It seems that the assembler which was being used at the time had a limitation of 6 characters per symbol. This kind of sucks a little bit for the readability of those symbols (but note that the code makes up for this with liberal commenting, which is great!), and of course, with a little bit of effort, you can mentally parse what most of these mean.

4) I would have liked to see some kind of document (although, since it's 38 years "after-the-fact", after this program was being written, I certainly don't expect one! <g>) which, at a high level, would describe the main data structure being used to hold the lines of basic code (I'm guessing this would be a linked list of sorts), in what source file that data structure lives, and how it is evaluated when a BASIC program is run...

Basically, give me the high-level view of the system.

The code itself represents the low-level implementation details of that high-level "as simple as possible but not simpler", view...

But again, those things are minor, relatively speaking, and they only amount to "notes to self" in my future software engineering efforts...

Anyway, thanks again to Microsoft for this great important contribution to computer history!!!
Toyota's full-size sedan is the Avalon.

Car categories have agreed-upon definitions; what rental companies call them is usually a size up or two from the manufactuer's (canonical) names.

For Toyota, the Yaris is sub-compact, the Corolla is compact, the Camry is mid-size, and the Avalon is fullsize. For Chevy, the Spark, Sonic, Malibu, and Impala fill the same roles. For Honda, it's the Fit/Civic/Accord (they don't make a full-size). For Nissan, it's the Versa/Sentra/Altima/Maxima.
Compared to a 2000-ish model Corolla, a 2020-ish Corolla is pretty much mid sized.

You're forgetting the million years of evolution
you hit the nail on the head. The main issue here is also that MOST employers/managers don't really know how to measure your productivity, especially in modern software engineering.

That's why "Busyness" and "Butts in Seat Per Hour" are seen as proxy for productivity. That's also why politics play such a big role.

Until we find a GOOD way to measure productivity, Control and "Busyness" (the illusion of productivity) is unfortunately not going to go away.

That's a bug/feature of the application(s) offering the event. They get an intent informing then that the notification was dismissed. Well-behaved apps should not repeat the same notification later on, but many seem to do when an additional notification comes in. :-(
The issue tracker I think is a better place for such a feature request.

Last time I worked on the attachment code, there wasn't a persistent database relationship for uploads and notes. Which would make this feature hard to implement, it would be a great feature though!
