Yup, we intend to support them, or at least the v2 catalog API. Given the current state and forward progression of most tooling, as well as the compatibility of docker v2 with OCI v1, there didn’t seem to be much value in implementing the legacy Docker
APIs.

The catalog functionality is just more complex given the granularity of our permission model (configurable down to the package level), so it unfortunately didn’t make the cut for the beta feature list.
... What? This is not at all obvious to me. How exactly are you arriving at this conclusion?
Indeed this reminds me of how they characterize dying "of old age." That nearly always means heart attack. Sometimes it means some other organ failure, and often it is connected to a cancer. But "old age" it is. Even though it could have been any one of dozens of conditions. It is often hard to tell whether those conditions are what killed them, or whether they aggravated a different condition enough to make that condition kill them.

I think a lot of the issue with Covid is deciding whether or not to label the deaths in that same manner. Some countries do. Others don't. And they'll probably never agree which one is right.
If college were priced purely as a positional good, tuitions at lower-tier schools would be be sharply lower than those of upper-tier schools. In Illinois, SIU and NIU cost approximately as much as UIUC, the state flagship.
O'Reilly's online learning platform is about 60% or more django in the backend.
Clobberize is an effect analysis used by many phases including CSE. It is not “part” of CSE.
It is very high visibility. I posted in the December job thread and received several responses.

Most of those responses occurred in January just weeks before Covid changes and job losses. I talked with several employers. Instead of accepting a new job I chose to instead investigate employment options with the military which likely proved to be a more stable consideration.
I think if they randomly select someone with a range, it would make it not as important to try to be physically closer. It wouldn't stop all gaming of the system, but it would be a start.
Unethical product.

Large companies will be the primary purchaser for this product, and will use it to "enforce" productivity metrics where employees get dinged for literally glancing away for mere seconds. This is like an Amazon Warehouse handset but now using "computer vision, blood oximetry, and psychological methodologies" to monitor employees.

Even if you aren't marketing it that way now, you have absolutely no control over the market competitors once this has been proven viable (or if you get purchased).
> This actually is pretty ugly.

What precisely is "this"? From my point of view at best it's calling out FUD and an unsupported claim sold as obviously true.

It's not abuse to challenge unsupported claims and call them what they are.

That sort of attitude cultivates horrible horrible things... One example being science denial.

> I'll change my mind with evidence. You have provided precisely none.

Your initial claim had previously no evidence.

Others provided evidence and your responses have me no confidence that spending energy changing your mind was/is worth it.
No the $35 minimum on Walmart.com doesn’t require a subscription. Walmart+ is for scheduled delivery from the store closest to you (so it’s only stuff available in that store). Great for groceries
Best Free Video Editing Software for Video Marketers
Glynn Stewart (sci-fi author) uses it [0] to release his novels 2 weeks before they land on Amazon, which is when they get removed from Patreon as he is part of KU. So both to give people an alternative to Amazon despite technically being Amazon exclusive and to allow people to get them early.

Sure, but my phone runs Android, which probably feeds everything to Google anyway, which includes position, voice, camera, every message I send. I probably bring my phone around more than my glasses.
I'm still hoping (but well past holding my breath waiting for) GNU's Taler project to deliver us from this mess.

Having an external audit and a response plan is, helpful for finally solving the payment processor / money transmitter issue.

Though the real solution for Patreon, and so many other issues, is some kind of automated escrow service built on top of that, with a best case outcome of seller and buyer agreeing and a contested case of review by other registered entities in the service deciding the outcome of the contract.
A Question of Timing
I attended a small but well-known liberal arts school that increased tuition about 20k in well under a decade.

In a single year the tuition increased 5k, and yet the department of my major was downsized and classes that I needed to complete my degree were full. At the same time though they built a new $42 million "cultural exchange" building and began adding an enormous sports facility. It turned out that actually there was no intended purpose for the new building either, and it was mostly sat empty as far as I know.
This is right. I am running Pop OS, but will make the jump to Arch when I have time. I don't want to wait for the distro maintainers to release new kernels/language versions/etc. And once you start changing those things, the benefit of the distro starts to fade away.
I think this also falls on generational lines; ordering a handful of things at once and getting one package is my goal.

On demand 1 thing at a time can be nice ordering something niche online, but when you have a whole fresh grocery, just add some steak or toilet paper.
The nice thing about Patreon is it explicitly is structured for tiered subscription support and removes the need for creators to do any payment system managing.
FCC Fairness Doctrine
> Why should students pay for this while living for 4 years in poverty conditions when there is arguably little tangible benefit beyond checking a box required by employers?

They wouldn't. But there is a tangible benefit for many, that is why they are willing to spend this money to go to school.

No one forces kids to go to school at 18 just like it doesn't force kids to blow money on credit cards and rack up debt, or buy cars on ridiculous interest rate loans, or spend high rent in over-priced apartments so they can be near the cool bars. No one forces kids to go to the private school for 40k a year over a local school at half the price.

No one forces parents to not save more money for college, or to help their kids more.

The fact that these things continue is evidence enough - the cost benefit is college is still worth it. I've seen little (besides rich white Silicon Valley types who are loaded railing against the establishment)evidence otherwise.
Is it highly subsidized? Any reason to think that is the case?
I'm skeptical that this isn't just an overpriced RescueTime. But what I'd love to see is detection of pupil dilation over the day.

No. Turing's NVEnc for H.265 is great for speed (as usual) and good for quality with Bframes support when compared to other HW encoders. (Ice Lake's encoder is also good but it's released later). It shouldn't be complete rubbish. IMO it's usable not only for streaming but also for archiving. Don't compare quality with x265, that should be good quality and slow.
Would this be able to drive a Pro Display XDR? (From Windows.)
This reminds of CoreOS
My understanding from third party sources (ahem) is that most cam sites are for people who want specific content. Or get off on the power of bossing someone sexually.

The actual lonely hearts are rare and far between.
Sure, they can sell to American owners and continue their app as is.
I just realized one of the founders is the guy of Pomplamoose.

I think the only downside of this is that they will reduce the music creation.
Hmmm. I hope the firmware authors weren't that dense. I would imagine they do a write when you exit the brightness change menu.

100,000 is a typical eeprom guaranteed write count. It will likely last much longer. The eeprom is probably much bigger than they need for such an application so they could actually handle the wear case by moving to alternate locations when write failures occur.
Every friend I have (or ex-wife :) with a US PhD (this spans physics, history, computer science, physiology, geology) did classes for the first 2 years (roughly).
Based on your thesis topic you might be interested in this recent work in self organizing systems: https://distill.pub/2020/selforg/

It seems quite similar
Not at all happy with things right now. You guys abruptly killed CoreOS which was great and left us to fend for ourselves. Fedora CoreOS doesn’t cut it and we don’t want open shift. We will need to move to either bottle-rocket or flatcar. A team member evaluated both and we leaning towards b-rocket since flatcar has a higher risk of dying by running out of funding during COVID (seen this movie before with CoreOS). Amazon’s customer support team is also a lot better.

Aren't college rankings mostly using the bullshit "citation" metric, for which researchers optimize by forming citation rings? [1]

[1] not to mention self-citations, which is probably half of all citations in the US vs roughly 1/4th of them in most other places: https://www.scimagojr.com/countryrank.php?order=au&ord=desc*
By definition a bounce takes time to detect. And you will get multiple bounces over a time period, so there is a tradeoff between latency and false positives and false negatives. As such, there must be a measurable latency in all debouncing mitigations. But depending on the switch this latency might be measured in microseconds, so you’re sort of right that debouncing doesn’t have to add significant latency for good switches and a good contoller. For a bad switch, and a slow controller, you might start to get into the ms range to ensure a switch is pulled high/low reliably.
Value should probably be a `Set` then!
Why is this more plausible? You don't know her, and are applying a psychological condition to her with no basis whatsoever. Just because you don't want to believe it's true, I assume?

My wife has something similar. Caught it in late February - at the same time as me - and _still_ has debilitating coughing fits some days, and no energy to move some days. Unless you're also going to tell me that's in her head too, and mine.
> Modern optimizing compilers are already effective black boxes

Not the way DL models are. You can step through a forest of switch / if statements. You can even step through something like a lex / yacc state table, as unpleasant as that prospect is. You cannot meaningfully step through an algorithm that passes your data through a series of multiplications with large floating point matrices.

> The paper in question also uses DL for two things that have nothing to do with optimization, benchmark generation and fuzzing

I agree, those two applications seem unobjectionable.

> "Is representation A cheaper than representation B, in this context?" is a very different problem than "Magically generate programs equivalent to A."

Agreed. I was more concerned about the latter application (and some other commenters in this discussion apparently had the same expectation).

> one tiny tweak to the source will magically tank your performance [...] But this is already the case today

No the same way, I suspect. A DL model could, for instance, tank your performance because of the way a particular variable is named because of some spurious correlation it learned from its training set.

The volume keys on my Apple Magic keyboard just started working with my LG. It seems the monitor needs to have a speaker and be the audio-out device for this to be active.
I read your post a couple times and I think I get where you are coming from.

I think the disconnect between us comes from the different assumptions and emphasis we made filled in for each post. You assumed that Ticmasta ignored indirect costs in a cost/benifit analysis. Camgunz addressed this as you point out. And I assumed that tomasita's central point was that additional spending does not reduce crime or recidivism, and camgunz sidesteped the issue. I imagine Natsu's reading would be the same, given that they restated the same ting, but with more inflammatory language.

I tend to agree with you and camgunz that decriminalization of many activities is attractive based on it's own merits. That said, I think that it is also important to acknowledge that not all problems can be solved by dumb money, solved by smart money, or solved at all.
The idea of someone going to an NBA game by themselves conjures a sad and lonely image.

Strip clubs are social - you go to them with your friends. The performers are paid, of course, just like all professional entertainers.

Cam sites are different. Can you imagine going to a cam site for a bachelor party?

It’s not as far out as it sounds. I spent my bachelor party playing video games and watching Netflix.

There’s certainly some group socializing in adult media, but it’s vastly overshadowed by paradoxical group performers.
Opaque token stored in the database is the secure way to go. Don’t use JWT.
The one I know of is Liberapay (https://liberapay.com/) The most true to concept part? They don't take a cut on transactions, but instead have their own page on the site (https://liberapay.com/Liberapay/)
Sounds like the post you're responding to is complaining that so many keyboards are at 30ms and not the 5ms/8ms you're seeing. :)
Those numbers look similar to Zynga’s whale user ratios.
Those state subsidies have steadily been eroded over the time period under discussion--part of why tuition has increased. At most large state flagships, public funding is now a significant minority of revenue.
Granblue Fantasy is in the iOS store and not only has bonuses for direct purchases (through their website) but sells lots of physical merch at a large mark-up with pack-in serial codes used for getting game content. There's a sizable chunk of their playerbase that goes out and buys everything - when they put something out it tops the Amazon.jp charts every time

SSIM is popular but now VMAF is considered good index.
It's a difficult problem area. I would bet naively normalizing the data would introduce many new concerns. Does the amount of crimes reported scale linearly with police presence? If not, your data is now going to be skewed. How do you count police numbers in an area? Man hours, individual officers, or something else? Keep in mind that not all officers are going to be responding to the same type of crime and so police hours are not interchangeable.

IMO machine learning algorithms are brittle and prone to breaking in unexpected ways. In the past, organizations who should have known better and should have been smart enough have produced bad machine learning systems. Policing is a highly sensitive area. It's okay to be very concerned.
The methodology of that test was a finger pressing the key and includes that travel time. So it's hard to say how much latency comes from the keyboard vs. the tester's finger speed & consistency.

An interesting set of numbers, but doesn't tell you all that much about the hardware quality itself. The actuation point and travel distance of mechanical switches is itself an endless source of user opinions & discussions.
Can someone give a layman's explanation?
The term I've heard is 'task saturation' and I absolutely love it (the term, not the situation). (The solution proposed is usually to pull some science staff from science into operation, which luckily didn't have to happen so far.)
> "Use Fixed Data Instead of Randomized Data
Avoid randomized data as it can lead to toggling tests which can be hard to debug and omit error messages that make tracing the error back to the code harder.
They will create highly reproducible tests, which are easy to debug and create error messages that can be easily traced back to the relevant line of code."

Good article, but I don't get this one at all; it almost seems like an anti-pattern. Choosing fixed data instead of random because the results are more "reproducible" seems to miss the point. If random data eventually helps uncover more bugs, then it's worth using!
This report which is based on DMV data seems to conclude that all vehicle registrations, new and used, dealer or not, are way off (pg. 8)

No argument that the subway is having a bad year. MTA bus ridership might be off less than you imagine, though. And citibike ridership is up 20%. I don't live in NY anymore so I don't have any anecdotes.
Vibert is a badass! I met him through a friend last year and for every project released he has a trove of awesome demos lying around. Great work dude, excited to see what you do next.
Love your YT videos! I’m always impressed and learn something new.
I agree with the confusion. There is the ability to rollout updates in a "wave"[1], but I'm not sure how this is better than a simple rollout strategy in kubernetes since a reboot of the node seems inevitable.

>Good seats at a popular rock concert are easily $250. You can get the mp3 for next to nothing, and it will be a better recording too.

Most musicians sound like shittier versions of themselves live. Some of them have great sound engineering teams and enough vocal talent (Most often its the singer that struggles live) to actually sound as good as they do in a studio. When you have the perfect situation, the overall effect sounds better to me. Only been to a couple Tool concerts. Neither were 250 but tickets can get pretty expensive after something sells out. Another part of it is the experience but for me its mostly the way it sounds when they get it right.
Electric cars need a range extender. Due to lack of imagination on both consumers and manufacturers, this means buying a second ICE car to act as a range extender. Here is an example of planning camping trip on tesla route planner: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/trips#/?v=M3_2015_74&o=Guelph,%2...

With an ICE, you save over 3 hours of trip time, and modern conveniences of a gas station. Priceless.
So "Search" is your answer to my question. Fair enough.
I never claimed anything you said in b).
Unfortunately JavaScript is up there with C++ when it comes to sheer number of syntaxes, so it'd be a pretty substantial task. Not that it isn't worth doing, but I'm not surprised this example wasn't available at launch.
I am reminded of Switzerland before WWII. They read the German newspapers and listened to German radio and were well attuned to the Nazi threat. By making Switzerland too tough a nut to crack, they prevented invasion: something no other bordering state accomplished.

Taiwan is in a similar situation with the colossus next door. The disease threat from China is well understood in Taiwan and they took effective measures with the first rumblings from Wuhan. Masks and partitions were mandated and supplied. Suspected contacts were put up in hotels to prevent familial transmission. The quarantined people were supplied with food and a stipend and visited frequently to ensure their needs were taken care of.

The CDC had attachés stationed in the US embassy in Beijing until Trump cut their budget.

Canada had a respected emergent disease monitoring service that got neutered by being put under the thumb of bureaucrats.
Denouncing is there to prevent multiple detection where there is only one.

In general, you can make a denouncer with zero latency: the receiver still triggers on the first logic change for idle to active, but then gates any further changes for a while.

(At least, that’s how I design all my debouncers.)

There may be aspects that are specific to a matrix keyboard configuration that prevent this...
