Title should be "Apple's M1 processor spotlights Intel's chip challenges" and while this picked quote is in there, it goes on to list legitimate value (although hardly innovations)
In actual fact, though the new network is experiencing record downloads of new titles like Mulan, it's daily user numbers are abysmal, only 3% of the available market. So their older content is evidently just not appealing, which is a problem going forward.

Table stakes for what exactly?
A really good reason for government regulation.

If Google and its apps have become an almost essential utility, and if government authorities can request information just like that, seems like a good argument to be made that it's both a monopoly and a utility.

Not sure how possible this will be with so much interplay between the DNC and Silicon Valley?
Walking an hour a day is also extremely good for mental health, unless you are walking on a treadmill in front of a TV of course.
I have restarted buying CDs and paper books for the same reasons.
Congratulations on the release! Dino is shaping up to be a really nice client.
The existing type system (see e.g. http://mypy-lang.org/) is gradual. You can mix typed and untyped code, at the cost of some safety.

You can also write type stubs for libraries that don't provide type information.
When I purged Google from my life a few years ago, this was one of the harder things to find a replacement for. I ended up finding Tunebox: http://toolsandtoys.net/tunebox-for-ios/

I already had my music collection backed up to Dropbox, and this iOS app just wraps a music player around it. The screenshots do look really old on the website - I'm not sure it's actually still maintained - but it works fine (and despite the screenshots it does match the modern iOS look and feel).

Nothing will probably ever be as good for this usecase as the Google Music experience, but Tunebox gets the job done.

Edit: I didn't realize Plex had a music offering. I may have to check that out.
HomeAdvisor's CEO is Brandon William Ridenour and his home address is 211 S Cherry St, Denver, CO 80246 and his phone number is (732) 259-8929. Brandon Ridenour's wife's name is Debora Silva Ridenour and her email address is deb_silva007@yahoo.com. Brandon Ridenour and Deb Ridenour also own 730 N Magnolia St, Denver, CO 80220. Their children go to Graland Country Day School located at 55 Clermon St, Denver, CO 80220. The Chairman of IAC and HomeAdvisor is Barry Diller and his home address is 1940 Coldwater Canyon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. All that information was kindly provided by their colleagues. HomeAdvisor are the biggest scammers in US history and need to be shut down. HomeAdvisor are spamming the internet and search engines with hundreds of fake websites to manipulate consumers and manipulate search engine results. Some examples of HomeAdvisor's hundreds of fake websites are home-siding-contractors.com, 1800contractor.com, handymanservice.com, jensonbrothers.com, starsproservices.com, and powellandsons.com. The construction industry and local economies are being ruined by these bombardment of scams, lies, and deceit from HomeAdvisor and it will only get much worse if nothing is done to stop them. Sometimes as much as over three-fourths of the 1st page search results are all HomeAdvisor and HomeAdvisor's fake websites, which makes it extremely unfair for construction businesses and independent contractors. Often all 3 ads on the 1st page search results are homeadvisor.com, jensonbrothers.com, and powellandsons.com, all 3 of which are websites controlled by HomeAdvisor and is blatant gross anticompetitive manipulation. HomeAdvisor are also writing thousands of fake reviews of their competitors and of themselves. HomeAdvisor are also writing thousands of fake positive reviews of themselves on ConsumerAffairs, Google, the App Store, and Google Play. HomeAdvisor is the worst rated company on the BBB in history with over 2,000 bad reviews from the last 3 years and a horrible average 1 star out of 5 stars rating as of the beginning of the year 2020, but starting the summer of 2020 HomeAdvisor has also begun to write hundreds of fake positive reviews of themselves on the BBB and on ResellerRatings to cheat and alter their ratings. HomeAdvisor is by far the most unethical, unfair, dishonest, and malicious corporation in America. HomeAdvisor uses every scam and dirty trick they can think of. Brandon Ridenour, Deb Ridenour, and the rest of the people behind HomeAdvisor need to be at the very least sentenced to life in prison. Angry contractors, let HomeAdvisor's CEO know that HomeAdvisor will not be tolerated.
Why would you use OpenBLAS rather than Apple's Accelerate.framework? Since you're already using the Intel MKL, the only fair comparison is Accelerate.framework.
So how do they suggest you reset these authenticators when your phone breaks?
That isn't exactly true... married filed jointly rates are exactly twice as much as filing separately in the United States, unless your combined income is more than $622,050.. so you are only correct if you make more than that.

https://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/tax-brackets.aspx

Also, it sounds like you might be confused about how income tax brackets work. Your income is not taxed at one rate... each amount is taxed at the rate for that bracket. This means that EVERYONE pays 10% on the first $9,875 they make, no matter how much they make in total. This is how marginal taxes work:

What an awful name, reminds me of the renamed Blackwater even down to the miniaturised 'e' ( though superscript for Intel instead of subscript )

And how is even pronounced in different languages? 'He' in Greek?

This. Just look at gaming. Xbox is losing, so they champion pro-consumer cross-platform multiplayer. Minecraft is popular, so they kill GNU/Linux support with Bedrock Edition.
Nice! I was thinking of something like this recently, but decided instead to completely divorce personal and work projects. It’s nice to close the work laptop and go open the personal laptop knowing it’s impossible to cross the streams, as well as for the ritual.

I currently manage, or am "lead dev", for around a half dozen to 10 apps using Postgres as the database. For two of those I use a managed database service (AWS RDS / AWS Aurora Postgres) because they drive mission critical high value products / services and I wouldn't consider using a standalone install of Postgres. For other apps that are not so mission critical I am perfectly happy saving considerable money and running them on a VPS on AWS EC2 or Digital Ocean or Linode. So ultimately it depends on the app and the risk tolerance for Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective.

Programmer here. It's true. I deal with NP completeness every day.
The social penalties that constrain people in your circle from being jerks also constrain you from expressing potentially unwanted interest, though. People will stop introducing you to their friends if you’re constantly asking them out. I feel a lot more confident expressing what I want to strangers. Have you not found the same?

If the profession being discussed is "academic work in Computer Science", sure.

If it is "software development", those things absolutely are not really "table stakes".

If it is "software engineering", then I don't think there is broad consensus on what that profession even is, much less what table stakes in it are.
Google's contact has been utterly disappointing so far.
They kept saying for months that they will port all missing features from Google Play Music to Youtube Music and they kept advertising that you can transfer everything over.

Guess what, they haven't transferred a single feature over and no, you cannot transfer everything over.

I'm still staying with YT Music because they have the second best recommendation engine —Google Play Music had the best by far.
I did buy subscriptions to both Deezer and Spotify (and a 3rd party service to sync my collection over) to test, but their recommendations / radio features are way worse.
I literally hate when services and apps force me to use SMS-based authentication.

When I travel I need to use a different SIM to access reasonably priced internet. Because I don't have a double-SIM phone, that means my other SIM is not active at the moment.

Really dangerous trend is when this SMS confirmation is requested when I don't expect it. Once I was in the Philippines and AirBnb wanted me to verify my authentication attempt. It can be not only frustrating, but dangerous - I have accommodation scheduled and without the access to my home number I could be easily left on the streets in a foreign country.

And my last complaint -> SMS can arrive pretty late when you are in a foreign country. Sometimes too late that the authentication window is closed.

Lidar systems will work this way. Camera+AI not necessarily, it will still need a way to sense relative speed otherwise you are banking on an AI to identify an obstacle in an image.
We also had issues with Glue/Athena, never got parquet to work right, have schema issues with schemaless data coming from MongoDB, and in general it is obtuse and hard to work with. We did a data lab with AWS using Glue and it was an exercise in pain. Then we did a POC with Snowflake and we cried with joy at how easy it was to work with large amounts of data. But our ELT was very light, not true transformation of data, more rearranging. I still think we will need Glue for some workloads and I pray this makes our lives easier.

Fuzzing PNG files sometimes leads to interesting results as well, better than any of the other rasterized formats I tried and I’m not sure why.

Still tends to break the renderer so probably more useful as a muse than creating useful logo files.
Strongly disagree. Python’s adoption is primarily driven by how easy it is to get started (barring some nasties in datetime, typing, and ofcourse the package manager).

Python is plenty fast for most automation tasks.
I crossed into BC from Idaho at night a few years back and shortly after noticed a LARGE animal off the side of the road. Pretty sure it was a moose, but it may have been an elk. Either way, I spent the next few hours paying extreme attention to the sides of the road. It made the drive much more stressful and having a little backup would have made a huge difference.
I've been looking into this myself a bit, and it's worth mentioning that the ESP32 can do 8 channels worth of analog input (and that's only on the first ADC, there's a second you can use if you disable WiFi, and that's something you'll likely be doing to conserve power anyway). You can get pretty far on analog-only, you might be able to save yourself from doing bussed sensors if you have a bunch of plants all together.
I think that for me, at this stage in life job satisfaction boils down to how well it feels I'm respected, or if the management I work under is constantly looking for an excuse to fire you from day one. I've been at organizations that had an "up or out" type of atmosphere, where you were a dead man walking if you were in the same role/department after 2 - 3 years -- you didn't necessarily have to move up to management, but at the minimum you needed to find a different group in the organization to move to.

Then there are organizations that feel they can't "survive" without you (although this is something to avoid too, since you can't advance or have peaceful days off).

Now as for the work itself -- in order for me to get to the point where management values my contributions, I have to have the skill and motivation to make useful things. And that skill comes from job interest (I have a difficult time building up a skill in a subject I'm not interested in). So the one is almost a necessary precursor to the other.

First, it is a good idea to setup the authentication on multiple devices. This is not hard to do.

Second, if that happens you are in the same situation as with the phone authentication -> so the disadvantage is the same.
We use a hybrid. Dapper is better for anything that needs optimized sql. CRUD is done with EF Core.
I only want Poetry to become the be-all-end-all of package managers if it turns out that Python really is never going to fix the core problems that have engendered so many of the hacks upon which Poetry (and its competitors) is precariously balanced. Pyenv and venv, for example.

For some reason I've run into this type of dependency chain issue many times in JS, but have never run into it in Python despite using both languages pretty heavily. Maybe because the JS ethos is to change things so quickly, if you're not making a major breaking change to your package's API every year or two then you're getting left behind (only kind of joking). Also probably because the standard library is so small in JS (or at least it used to be, and may projects want to be compatible with at least some older browsers) so the average number of dependencies that a typical library has is probably much higher than in Python.

I really don't get the fuss about the global dependency management though, maybe I would change my mind if Python shipedp a great implementation of it. But I feel like the problem is already solvable in multiple ways with containers, VMs, or virtualenvs and I don't think yet another abstraction to separate environments would add much value to my day to day workflow building python apps.

But this is exactly what I mean: the title is worded to elicit an emotional response - and it clearly succeeds at that.

This is FT however, I'd expect them to be professional enough to avoid this crappy game of clickbait titles. If the NY Post wrote a headline like "SoftBank suffers a massive $4 billion loss!!!111" I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

From a purely informational perspective, this headline doesn't tell me anything about the actual severity of this loss for SoftBank.

Yes. Obviously people have different tastes, but many many people find Python to be tastefully designed.

Those are... all radically different languages from each other.

This is like arguing that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would be better if it was more like sushi, chocolate, and pasta.
Thanks!

The linear tetrahedron is known to lock in structural finite element. When performing mesh refinement, it turns out that the "convergence slope" is much worse with tet elements than with wedge or hex elements.

To my understanding, these locking phenomenons are quite "field-dependent". And this is one of the main reason why new elements are often proposed is structural fe: they try to alleviate locking.

About changing the basis function family, I guess it has been tried but it wasn't successful. In the end it always boils down at showcasing that your element passes mathematical tests (such as the patch test), and demonstrate that it is physically correct, even when the element is distorted. These are the subjects discussed by Bathe in his book "Finite element procedures".
Title: your password doesn’t matter

Content: your password matters very much

What?? My takeaway is that your password matters quite a lot, you need to use a password manager to generate strong, unique passwords, and turn on MFA everywhere you can. Not “your passwords don’t matter”

Because they are themselves spreading misinformation. The direct quote itself is pretty unambiguous. When a (former) government official declares that they’d “actually like to” put people’s heads on pikes, we should all be deeply concerned.

If Nancy Pelosi had said she’d “actually like to put a bullet between the eyes of Donald Trump”, would the secret service not consider that a grave threat of bodily harm?
The pressure should be on our governments to regulate the powerful (Google). Meanwhile we're happily electing people who have direct ties to Silicon Valley big tech and calling ourselves Resistance. It cuts both ways!

Without government help, the only way to fight the oppressive dystopia you talked about is by becoming Richard Stallman. And I value not living in a university office and having to use Lynx and pine.
There already is IronPython. But it lacks community, and stalled after 2.7 release.

All CPython alternatives stall do due to the widely used C API (required for NumPy, TensorFlow, etc). This API is very CPython specific.

There is some work on both sides, that might overcome the issue though: CPython is trying to decouple API from the implementation details, while .NET is working on better C interop story (.NET 5 just introduced ability to export managed functions as C functions).

I don't know why authors give their work flippant titles and then are confused when people assume it's a flippant piece of work.

'Don't judge a book by its cover' isn't a reasonable complaint when the author has deliberately given it a silly cover!
I like to call this the: Law of Conservation of Complexity.

It does not matter how slice and dice things, the real world is a complex environment and as a result your application will be complex in some way too. You just can't sweep complexity under the carpet and pretend it's not there. It will always come back and bite you, in some way or the other.

My biggest complaint is that discovering new music on youtube music is basically non-existent. I could pick a station on google music and find new songs I like within 3 songs. Youtube music, even on a "curated" list seems to always play the same 20-ish songs over and over again.

I'm guessing this also has something to do with the licensing.

As the article progresses, the more and more apparent it becomes how full of himself the author is.

In an article that is ostensibly designed to honor his aging father, the author (a marketing professor at NYU) gets to the point that he wonders if his father isn't jealous of his ability to teach. Later, he backhandedly criticizes his father (while, again, complimenting himself) by saying that that he wouldn't take a flight to see his own grandkids but would to watch his son teach.

I'll give the author this: after reading this article, I am quite confident that he "believes to be true" that he is a great guy.
