She is 6,000 years removed from the Lord of the Rings though, and this is before she acquired her great ring, and the responsibilities that went with it. I think it makes sense that we see her in a younger, more raw form.

Yes, as much as practically possible. For instance, in an online forum, days long delays would be impractical, but maybe 10-20 minutes.
I think OpenCL was a pivotal moment. Apple created the draft and donated it to Khronos, where is subsequently was stagnating before Nvidia effectively sabotaged the effort in order to push its own proprietary CUDA. Since then Apple has been focusing on their own hardware and ecosystem needs. I think the advantage if this is well illustrated by Metal which grew from being this awkward limited DX9 copy to a fully featured and very flexible yet still consistent and compact GPU API. Sometimes it pays not having to cater to minimal common denominator.

In the recent years I am more and more convinced that open standards are not a panacea. It depends on the domain. For cutting edge specialized compute open standards may even be detrimental. I’d rather have vendor-specific low-level libraries that fully expose the hardware capabilities, with open standard APIs implemented on top of them.
They have the right to use whatever licensing they want, but it is strange that this one area - FUSE on Mac - consistently attracts developers using weird license restrictions.

Rookie question but don’t draws occur more than 20-25% of the time at this level? Or is that just a unique feature of chess versus say StarCraft.

Restated, are sports specific ELO scores real? Alternatively phrased, does an X ELO score in one competitive endeavor represent the same relative strength as the same ELO in another subject?
There's already a DOS attack happening. Didn't take long.

I can’t be absolutely certain, but I’m high risk so it’s unlikely to be asymptomatic. I also haven’t dined indoor or anything of the like. Been extra careful. It would be very surprising if I had.
Why can't nuclear not be turned on and off at will? I understand you can't just fire up and down a reactor, but you can control the steam flow to the generator, and let that redirect directly to the cooling tower at will?

The real problem appears to be buffer capacity.
Yes, I don't know any distributed task queue that stays online or backs up tasks when the broker dies. Maybe one could be built on CockroachDB? My implementation is designed to process tasks fast and if the Redis server dies (hasn't happened in 10 years) you just boot up a new one. I try to design my tasks to expect some failures and be able to re-run safely.
Looks like OP is only interested in a mapping of Title->SciHubURL. In essence an index only, rather than the full contents of every paper. Maintaining a separate index would require significantly less storage than mirroring all the papers

It has been said a country only needs 10% of its populace to united behind a radical ideology to start a revolution. This has roughly held for the American Revolution, French Revolution, Russian Revolution. I would not be surprised if the same holds true here. An extremely vocal minority is extremely discontent with this show. The average Amazon Prime watcher meanwhile is completely oblivious to the controversy. They find the show to be somewhere between slightly below and slightly above average. The issue is that they are writing reviews at a much lesser rate than the rabble rousers.
No. It is by all means poor with no literature value other than the fact that has relation to the hobbit and the LoTR trilogy that are masterpieces.

You might as well leave it be.

I don’t think that anecdotal evidence benefits the evidence behind psychedelic therapies. I lost a lot of weight by eating gummy bears around the same time I started to exercise and eat less. Is that a convincing argument for gummy bears as a weight loss tool? They weren’t keto either.

Google Cloud, Azure, deploy a server yourself, etc.

> As we've seen more recently with the OFAC list blocking... once one big player starts to block, the rest follow suit pretty quickly.

There's a big difference between something that is made illegal (eg the OFAC sanctions) and a private action by a company. If your service is illegal then you are going to have other problems than just AWS refusing to host.

> Many of the large players are also tied to AWS deployment APIs... moving means rewriting those.

There's a big difference between using AWS as dumb compute and using AWS features.

The more AWS features you use the more control AWS has. The same applies to any software you use - if a license can be withdrawn there is an element of control. These things are much more important than if the physical machine you are running on is owned by Amazon.

As I said above: Control is the important thing.
There is no clipboard feature in casual conversation. And many other $differences.

> Whether it's Stripe directly, or Google via reCaptcha, someone is going to have to be peering into the metadata of your transaction to try to figure out if it's really you that is calling, or it's a fraudster.

Unfortunately, that's an issue with services like Sift if you need to comply with laws like GDPR. Anybody nows if there's a GDPR-compliant alternative?
Today, I'd say reproduction of results is far more important than getting more research published.

I would even go so far as to say that peer review is worthless, it may well be time to replace it with peer reproduction as a prerequisite for having an article published.
Spearfishing is one of the most exciting and engaging sports I can think of. I’m not much for scuba, but spearing on a breath is pretty incredible.

I’ve continued free diving but I don’t kill fish anymore for personal reasons. Regardless, I strongly encourage anyone interested to try it. Of all the ways to get a meal, getting in the water and selecting the ideal catch is the best I’ve ever known.

Just like the article describes, there are invasive species up for grabs all over the world. They’re usually fine to eat and worth targeting.
It's not really based on the books at all. Amazon has rights to the Lord of the Rings only, but not the stuff that was used to make the Peter Jackson films. Rather than remake The Lord of the Rings (can you imagine the outrage?), they decided to focus on the brief summary of the history of the rings of power given as an appendix to the last book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Basically a couple of paragraphs in the epilogue where Tolkien says "btw, 6,000 years earlier such-and-such happened and that's how the rings were made." Amazon invented this entire show out of those couple of paragraphs.

There are larger bodies of work (The Silmarillion, The History of Middle Earth, etc.) which go into great detail about this era and the conflict which involved, incidentally, the crafting of the rings of power. But Amazon doesn't have the rights to those books. So they're creating a storyline out of what little scraps were provided in the appendices of Return of the King, while reusing some of the characters in the Lord of the Rings which would have been around back then--Elrond, Galadriel, etc.

And I agree. Forget about the books and watch it as high fantasy on TV, and you'll be enjoyed. It is well made, and so far is following a couple of interesting plot lines.
Then that should work too. I think current practice is often to feed larger carnivorous fish with smaller wild-caught fish, which doesn't really solve the problem.
RabbitMQ and SQS both have redundancy built in.

There's nothing wrong with the trade off you made, but when I read distributed I assumed that you meant the task broker was distributed and therefore redundant, not the consumers.
I day dreamed up this idea recently which doesn't use tritium, but does use lithium-6. I did not realize how hard it is to get lithium-6, but if Castle Bravo is any indication, lithium-7 might work ok for my concept. Whether my concept has even a hope in hell of working is another story.

Oceans have been terribly overfished, but people need to eat. Many poorer countries rely on fishing to help then feed their populations. Banning commercial fishing would be like banning commercial chicken. A huge loss of a major cheap source of protein, and nothing to replace it with.
This seems to be the intended effect of the Presidency and the Supreme Court in the United States. Congress hastily shoehorns a bill to vote, the President has a chance to veto it. If a truly unworthy law makes it so far as to be executed into law, the people have the chance to bring a lawsuit wherein the Supreme Court can strike the whole thing down on a reasonable constitutional basis. Perhaps it would be wise for the United States government to start bankrolling Tolkien reboots?

Mathematics and programming are not interchangable, but programming is one form of expressing mathematics and giving context to seemingly meaningless numbers.

Personally, I /fucking hated/ math as a kid. The numbers were meaningless to me because nothing, neither the teachers nor the textbooks nor anyone/anything else, ever taught me what the numbers meant. "Solve for X and tell me what Y is" they said, "How many apples do you have if you hold one in each hand." they said. Pointless.

It was only after I got into programming, incidentally of my own self-taught volition, that all those numbers suddenly had meaning and I truly understood the value of math.

"54 / 36 = ?" is meaningless to me, but "screen_width / 2" and "screen_height / 2" to figure out the center point of a monitor do have meaning, and my mind was blown with a sudden astronomical understanding of the world.

Perhaps the most mind shattering moment was when programming made me realize I could apply math to things that aren't numbers:

"apple" + "orange" = "appleorange"

Mind. Fucking. Shattered.

So programming is amazing at teaching math, at giving math crucial context to keep a kid's mind interested, but teaching programming itself will not teach math.
I found programming to be exceptionally helpful when learning trig. I was able to not just understand a few examples, but really generalize the concepts and relate them.

That was an experience that really stuck with me, and I must say I'm kind of surprised at many of the naysayer opinions in this thread.

To this day I'll fire up a REPL to explore some math ideas. Maybe I'm weird and am just more programming minded than most, or my prior programming helped.

> the characters there do not seem that much at odds with the book or the first three movies

well, The Hobbit itself as a book is at odds with LoTR, being a children fairy tale rather than an epic.

Just compare the scene where they get away from trolls in The Hobbit with the the trolls attacking Gondor in the movie. The change of tone is insane.

OTOH, it's pretty silly to be angry about it :)
Halation is what I call this silvery add-mix blur look. Might not be the accurate term but it's the one I've used since the early 1990s. In those days, when people wanted to make video look like film, the expression, "Add some halation to it," was sometimes used by the old school film/cinema guys.
I don't like the idea of pausing / censoring reviews in general, but its understandable given the hate brigading thats going on with this show in particular. Hopefully they stick to no censorship of reviews/user ratings after the "pause" period but who knows. Personally I found the show to be pretty good, I was pleasantly surprised.
But a lot of the people who are freaking out clearly haven’t read the books because the stuff they say is often incorrect
Pulse nuclear rocket! Project Orion (NOT the boondoggle rocket) FTW!

I honestly wonder if they could do more bomb design wiht modern simulation/supercomputers that will have near-zero bad isotopes / fallout.

The #1 reason I think we should have a moon base is that we can use it as a launch site for a Project Orion craft that would economically move a couple million tons around the solar system. You have a million ton ship that can get to Jupiter in a month, that means practical asteroid mining.

I would suggest watching the second episode. It gets better. I think the first two episodes should have just been one long episode. The first felt like it didn't go anywhere, and then the second pulled it together.
I mean, while we're waltzing around the absurd, how meaningful do you really think the continents remain at magmatic depths? We're literally talking about the space where the bedrock melts and flows in the unknowable oceans of Sauron's marmalade, after all. I think the ring spent eons swishing around before reassembling like a blended up sea sponge before making its way back to the surface in the modern-day land of the elves (Iceland). It's only a matter of time before the trolls in the forests of Norway begin amassing their forces. As for that video's narrator, I think his name is Dave Sméagol, so I'd take his misdirections with a pinch of salt.
I’m apparently young enough to be targeted by this article so I’ll weigh in. We’re better off for it, files as a storage layer and/or format (meaning how routes on web servers are defined by the folder structure) suuucks. File semantics are annoying, complicated enough that nobody really gets them right, and broken at the margins. The concept of a virtual read head and seeking around files would never be invented today. File descriptors keeping random external magic state? What could go wrong? All but a tiny few file operations not being atomic — bleugh. See the stuff Ansible has to do just to get atomic copy. Permissions, attrs, xattrs, acls, and SELinux tags are a god damn mess. Locking is also a mess and filesystem dependent — sqlite doesn’t officially support NFS because of it. And with all that useless metadata we still don’t have a way of actually reliably specifying the format or encoding of files leading to garbage library after garbage library for guessing it. File paths being binary strings on Linux is a ridiculous tripwire, running out of inodes or open file handles is a leaky abstraction, links — hard and soft are a bandaid and make traversal stupid to reason about. Look at the dumb shit tar has to do to deal with it. Holding handles to deleted files is absolutely ass backwards and a pox on the people that made it necessary for updates to work. File rotation just shouldn’t be necessary. The application having to think about compression is the wrong layer. Whoever invented unix:abstract files committed a warcrime.

If you’re someone who likes working with the filesystem directly, why? Seriously why? It really does seem like anything would be better.

Even for code, wouldn’t you rather things like Python modules or packages be first class objects? No more sys.path nonsense, no more namespacing, just your whole venv in a single trivially relocatable file.
It's bad PR to have a review bomb on a show with a billion dollar budget. A review bomb also discourages people looking for something new to watch. Amazon is in the unique position of having a near monopoly on quantifiable reviews with their internal system. It's in the best interest of the company to buffer the review bombing by any means, so long as the buffering doesn't induce negative PR in itself.
Ah yes, you’ll forget almost everything learned at school, so just close down close right? Why stop smoking and getting drunk all the time when you die anyway?
> ...there’s nothing in the Legendarium suggesting there can be unions of anything other than Men and Elves, Men and Orcs, and Elves and Maiar.

Tolkien, Race, and Racism in Middle-earth[1] has a long section discussing this. Tolkien regarded elves, men, hobbits, dwarves, and orcs all as races of one species, who thus could interbreed.

Are they a different species than the wild hogs in Germany? They look the same. They're a pest, here, too. But hunters don't require night vision goggles and semi automatic guns to control them.

They're considered dangerous to pets (mostly dogs, which probably started the fight) and I wouldn't get too close to them. But deadly encounters are extremely rare; way less than 1/year in a population of 80m humans and 2m pigs.
I wonder what the ideal gravity is. Weak gravity makes rockets harder to control but strong gravity consumes absurd amounts of fuel. Is there a sweet spot?
There were two seasons of the British version of the Office, and a Christmas special.

I don't think you should take the longevity of each as a mark of popularity or quality. The British version wasn't cancelled - Gervais and Marchant ended it deliberately with a proper conclusion. I don't think anyone doubts more
British series would have been commissioned if they'd wanted to carry on.

When Gervais was asked if he likes the American version his response was "Yes of course. It's made me very rich." That's his dry sense of humor, but I suspect it also hints at why they stopped doing the UK version and started on the US version instead.

Given Wikipedia's influence on society I think I agree. Misinformation can reach at least as many people as on Facebook, and cause injury and death to real people. It's only a matter of time before Wikipedia's Myanmar genocide comes.

What exactly is the problem here? If Amazon keeps cavalierly losing money on endeavors they will drag everything else down.

They aren’t going to hide the fact that the show sucks and they certainly just made that much harder by doing this.

In order for them to actually maintain their power this show would need to somehow help them create a moat (it doesn’t) or just make money on its own by driving subscriptions.

As far as abuses of power go, this is absolutely not one of them.
I was pleasantly surprised by the old Star Trek: The Animated Series

You mean CS is unimportant for 99% of all code monkeys. But it is absolutely necessary for bleeding edge development and creating libraries that people who deem CS unimportant.
