It's a bit much to say that one person is beating Qualcomm. Keep in mind that Qualcomm's driver is custom code, while the freedreno code is based mesa/gallium. So, it's already built on thousands of man hours of work, plus all the engineering effort that Intel and Red Hat have put into the OSS graphics stack.

"In the meantime, they benefit from charging businesses to allow positive reviews to appear and to suppress negative reviews (if they're doing that, it would explain why they don't focus on credibility)."

We try to address this issue in our paper. Take a look at Section 3.4. Short summary: we do not find any noticeable differences in filtering between advertisers and non-advertisers, but there are limitations to our analysis.

Google Returns to Larry and Sergey’s Garage for Massive Search Revamp
"saw some complaints listed in this thread - they all have to do with UI, not with a design choice that is limiting use."

For many people, UI issues carry way more weight as "design choices that limit use" than issues such as speed, efficient disk usage, data normalization, etc.

"Wrappers like "eg" and "legit", and macros, can be used to fix the UI"

I disagree. There may be some that _could_ be used, if 'the internet' wasn't filled with helpful comments using the 'real' UI. As it stands now, there is no replacement that has sufficient market share to give users a good chance of finding questions to answers they may have. It is a bit like the early days of Windows, where "how do I..." Questions got answered by "that's easy. Exit to DOS..." (Linux on the desktop has a bit of a similar problem, but I think it is slowly outgrowing it)

"except no one agrees on what a better UI looks like".

That may be an indication that it really is hard (maybe even impossible) to find a good alternative UI hat does not leave out git features.

As a result of a failure to wear proper eye protection (sweating makes it harder to see properly through glasses/goggles, so I neglected to follow SOP) I incurred a traumatic injury to one eye - detached retina + bad patient + lensectomy = blind eye.

At first (7+ years ago) I had trouble walking on uneven terrain, and I still have trouble catching a ball or objects tossed to me. Now I've grown accustomed to my sight impairment, but would welcome a way to see normally again.

I'm wondering if this will help people with similar monocular vision to see with depth perception?
Well, if only they would learn to swim we could extend that range to at least 1500 years.

Hopefully we've invented boats by then.
I certainly expect them to have knowledge of what it was like for their peers.

First things that come to my mind:

s3cmd:
* might be considered more robust and battle tested as people already commented here;
* is written in python, so if you have a python environment running, you might be more comfortable with it;

s3sync
* Smaller codebase, might be easier to keep things simpler and well tested, achieving the same stability with less time/effort;
* Error reporting. One of my main reasons to keep working on s3sync was its better error reporting. I just go crazy when something wrong happens and I don't know why.
* It's in ruby, if you have a ruby environment and you don't want to add any python dependencies, you might choose it
“Hold down alt and click on any element to zoom in on it using zoom.js. Alt + click anywhere to zoom back out.”

Alt+mouse is bound to "move window" by default in GNOME (and perhaps others), and your event handlers will never get fired. (Personally, I love this keybinding: IMHO, it's a every quick and efficient way to move windows, since it increases the "catchable" area to the entire window, not just the title bar.)

Also, did anyone else notice that progress bar at the bottom?
They didn't suggest it, but once I asked the only pushback was of the "most people prefer it, it's very safe, let's be ready to use it just in case" variety. (I hadn't expressed the preference until checking in that day, so the anesthesiologist was already scheduled, and I didn't save any money.)
I'm sure it has some effect, but I've never really put any effort into comparisons. I currently have a cheapo LED bulb, but it's under one of those standard yellowish brown lampshades, so it still feels nice and "warm" to me.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

The best engineering teams I've encountered are ones that have an Engineering Manager. The hierarchy is Project/Program Manager -> Engineering Manager -> Engineers. The engineering manager (of technical background) cultivates the engineering team, instills best practices and makes final decisions, without having to sit in endless meetings with the business side (the program manager's job). The engineering manager is usually the hiring manager for more engineers.

It's not a sexy, flat organization, but day-to-day operations are less like herding cats and more about promoting technical excellence.

You only need to look at google's knowledge graph alongside google now to see that that's where they're going. Many Question Answering Systems are able to handle many kinds of questions with relative accuracy now. With all of the different kinds of data sources out there, I'm not really surprised.

That being said machine learning is far from perfect. Allowing for user correction is still an immense must.

If you distinguish between those two, and implementation doesn't match design, then you must concede you have a level of incompetence in your development chain.

With my nascent Git understanding, I think you would just have multiple branches for v1, v2... and then clone the repository multiple times so you have multiple working copies.

Check out v1 in the first one, v2 in the second one.

Although changing between related branches is usually quite quick in Git. Also, a fresh checkout of ~100mb is not a lot. At least for an SSD.

This also relies on having a centralised Git repository for you to push/pull changes to. But I believe Git allows you to synchronise multiple repositories on disk.

You're rarely developing two things at once in any given instant of time... why not just quickly check out the branch you want?

Being a web generalist
I remember back in the old days search engines were explicitly saying that words like "and" "how" etc.. were ignored when returning the results for your search. These days these words are becoming the key to get you the results you are actually looking for.
Your use of the word "denier" displays your bias.

But the only fear mongering I've really seen come from climate change "accepters". "Accepters", see how silly it looks when you use silly names?

I've seen people who deny the science, they don't particularly concern me as they are often easy to spot as they refuse to listen to reason. But much the same can be said of the extremes on both sides of a debate.

As for uncertainty and doubt, I thought those were important in science.
While I agree with you about the title of the article, it is not true at all that "all non-removed reviews are assumed, in the data, to be real." In fact, in our analysis we explicitly allow for the filter misclassifying reviews (that is to say filtering real reviews, or publishing fakes.)

Slightly off topic but the matplotlib interface always annoyed the hell out of me. The pyplot wrapper meant that there are effectively two ways to do any visualisation,which breaks python "zen" pretty badly ("There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it").

Visualisation is one area where R with ggplot really eats pythons lunch.If anybody has the inclination I would recommend looking into https://github.com/wrobstory/vincent and https://github.com/ContinuumIO/Bokeh
Vincent is a wrapper for a wrapper(vega!) for d3 and works nicely even though its only on version 0.2. Bokeh seems less "user friendly" and finished but it has good funding and Peter Wang who really understands scientific computing behind it so I would bet on it for the long run.
Thanks for mentioning Ractive (http://www.ractivejs.org/), first time I've seen it.

I'm wondering why you would prefer angular for a form-centric app?

I've used angular and rivets.js + backbone with success, my preference being angular but Ractive looks like a way to get awesome templating and databinding without committing the entire app to a single monolithic framework.

It also seems that server side rendering is more reachable with it's mustachy roots.

I perhaps wasn't sufficiently clear; my issue was with the sweeping generalities about what MacOS X supposedly proved in terms of Linux needing to become that kind of integrated OS rather than a framework assembled from parts, not the specific idea that broad generality was offered to support about systemd (I don't really have a strong opinion on systemd either way.)
I run a small review site and have to deal with issues surrounding fake reviews all the time. Every now and then someone makes a rookie mistake and it gets picked up by my system and automatically filtered but as the years have gone on, I've found people are becoming better at gaming us.

I believe there is value in reviews, especially at a local level; I've found out about some really great local businesses based on the reviews but I'm so tired of people trying to game us. I'm tired of business owners who would rather argue with me for months on end and threaten legal action to have a totally legitimate negative review removed, or have their friends post glowing reviews, rather than just providing a good service and recognising they can't please everyone.

I wish there was a sure fire way of determining a persons intention when they write a review but it's impossible, so this problem will remain unsolved.
I've been gaming in Linux with both native and Wine/CrossOver games(free year thanks to Bush) for over 8 years now. Drivers are the biggest issue. There are 2 main issues here. First is quality. The video card manufactures need to dedicate additional resources to bring the drivers up to the quality of Windows.

The second issue is with the driver subsystem. The kernel developers need either a) stop breaking the existing driver interface ever other release or b) create new modern interface that's stable like MS did with Vista.

Imagine if every windows update, you had to worry about you games not working because MS might break the drivers. This is how Linux is now. This situation is especially bad for users with old and very new cards. For example, my X1900 can't run the catalyst drivers with any modern kernel, making it useless in Linux as my spare gaming rig. Of course it works perfectly in Win7, running about 2-5x faster than the worthless, buggy, open source drivers.

Fixing the video driver subsystem is exactly the kind dedication that would prove to me that Value is serious about making Linux a competitive gaming platform and likely convince me to purchase a SteamMachine.
Don't think it's a Ghostery issue, shows up fine fromt here with that running.
Is there any plausible reason such arrows would be broken up on purpose? In my mind, I would want more things like this to exist; large physical failsafe markers seem like a great idea.
When I read things like this coming from experienced smart engineers a little voice in my head starts yelling "incidental complexity." When I see engineers who are building web applications discussing the nuances of type theory and the complexity of Javascript frameworks I wonder how much time they have left to solve the actual problems their users have.
It sounds a lot like BoxBee which I think launched earlier this year.

I've been watching this ever since I noticed the a/b testing. One of the side effects is that you bounce off the Google page rather than click through to some page. Google got into some trouble for this with currency exchanges (the calculator would auto calculate currency conversions) But they seem to have worked around that complaint (type in x dollars in y currency to see a 'one box' type answer).

I wish I could see how it affects their AdSense revenue. (a lot of 'answer' sites are just AdSense landing pages)

At what point does it take all the load off the Wikipedia servers if it just serves up the answer on the page :-)

It doesn't preclude a similar retention bonus for the chef. The point is, the leadership of the selling firm has some influence over whether their employees stay or go. The buying firm sets up a financial incentive to encourage the selling leadership to use that influence.

The unique and worst part was the on-and-off air-bloating pain, but it was comparable to other quickly-passing episodes of intestinal gas/discomfort, and especially bearable knowing that it was very temporary and in service of a goal under expert care. (I've had more painful headaches, scrapes, stubbed-toes, and sprains – which each lasted longer.)

I could definitely understand those with various kinds of medical- and pain-anxiety opting for sedation, but I also think such things are highly suggestible and influenced by social norms about which pains are normal to shrug off and which pains you communicate for sympathy... so it doesn't surprise me that in other cultures skipping sedation could be the casually-accepted norm.

What does "take version out of the repository first" mean?

You can do a "git checkout" to get a copy out. On a modern drive, checking out a hundred meg history takes a few seconds.

You do not need multiple copies on the disk at the same time - "git checkout v1" when you are working on v2 will do only the changes necessary to make your directory into "v1", and then you can do "git checkout v2" or "git checkout v3" to get another version.

Alternatively, you can just mount your git repo as a filesystem, e.g. https://github.com/davesque/gitfuse (there are other projects - this came up on search, never used it myself).

And anecdotally, my git repos with tens of branches tend to take much less space than one checkout. git is super efficient about storage.

Well, when years ago someone predicts no more snow at all and suddenly there's more snow than before, it would seem there's a problem somewhere.

Snow becomes less frequent and more extreme as compared to what? On a big enough timeline you could probably show a series of different outcomes relating to climate that will say whatever you want it to say. Who's to say that less frequent but more extreme snow is a bad thing? Maybe it used to be normal, become less common, and now we're returned to what used to be normal.

I admit though that I've never been to the UK nor was I around for the last major ice age so I don't know about snowfall in the UK over the years.
