How fast do you have to be to get into the AMP carousel?

CDN's have made hosting pretty easy to scale from a low powered controller, the hard problem is working out when to invalidate the cache. Which is easily solved by.... another layer of merkle trees actually! It's Angela Merkel&#x2

The janitor's salary goes up, and the incentive to automate increases. It's all win really assuming knowledge work is more enjoyable than being a janitor

It's pretty genius how they've turned ancient maintenance routines into prayers and rituals in order to preserve the knowledge and scale out the work force

Yeah he stakes a bit of a stab at scala play, which as far as I can tell in the latest release uses the same concurrency mode (actors) as Erlang anyway

You could potentially add translations to the dataset automatically (and generate mosaics with multiple images). Since you've done the transforms you have perfect knowledge of the new images and they're ready to train on

It's actually not that bad doing it in the browser these days with something like https://github.com/nodeca/pica Saves upload time for large images at the very least

I'm using flowtype and it's certainly no Java, but it's just enough (for now) to build robust front-end SPAs Would be interesting to transpile from more strongly typed languages also, that's probably where the mainstream

So why not just release AMP for use on domains as a reference implementation (with server side rendering for pre-cache), measure speed instead of implementation, and not use the google cache. They want the Google nav buttons on your site to

AMP is coming for ecommerce next. Will there be checkout options other than Google? What's going to happen when voice interfaces take over. Amazon Echo already prioritises its own products. I've switched to Firefox and DuckDuckGo

It's on the way though. I'm amazed that writing javascript is starting to feel (a bit) like scala, once you add transpiling from ES7, lambda syntax, optional implicit typing, modules, a focus on immutability, etc. It's so muc

With a high resolution I could see full VR being pretty great for programming, considering how hard developers often try to remove distractions and go deeper into the problem, and how useful multiple monitors are Just a pitch black room, fu

I think this is for private communication only. When you're asking Google for things they're then party to that communication, and presumably web pages colluding to build profiles of you would be under different legislation again

Angular initially solved a very small problem - forms. It just scaled really badly (by design but then it was never highlighted in the documentation) and then had second system syndrome

The electricity grid needs to transition into an energy market kind of deal where their role is to balance supply and demand across the entire grid rather than a net flow in any direction. Of course it'll never happen, the privatised i

Wouldn't the equivalent contractor wage factor those costs in though, plus a risk premium for short term work ideally

Problem: A giant Google banner over web page, URL is broken Solution: Remove banner, redirect to URL Resolution: Closed, Google likes it that way. Actual solution: Don't use AMP, and slowly get pushed out of Google search.

He's saying they'll use warrants... issued by Brandis. Which is the same as no warrants from a 'judicial vs government' point of view.

Because now there's a big back button as well as a browser back button both back to Google, instead of just a browser back button and a menu to explore the rest of the site. Google is no longer neutral, they own those users, not you.

But it is an attack on the open web, Google is now sealing off the 'user leak' holes like Facebook did to keep people within their ecosystem. That's all well and good for Google, but we all rely on a relatively neutral search

I really enjoy using chains of map.filter.foreach.map in scala, it feels powerful but also simple I imagine piping in bash feels similar, so there's at least a common problem/solution between them

I was thinking this (and no I wouldn't lie to customs), but the second half of the article details how to let a remote administrator enforce these policies, ie blame your employer for wanting to secure their data from unauthorised acce

Sometimes ideas go a bit too far beyond useful and need to be pulled back, adjusted and then moved forward again. For example it's great the labor can move freely between borders at the senior level, but is it really desirable for seni

I'm in the same boat as you, but started looking a while ago when quantum computers started showing promise. I found: - PBS Spacetime on YouTube is awesome - Check out the double split experiment. It seems simple, but when you think ab

As a non-pilot, that's ultimately the reality every time we fly already. Sure there's redundancy, but ultimately if things go wrong all we can do is sit powerlessly in our chair as the ground roars up at us.

Death comes for all, and I agree the finite span helps to give meaning, but maybe the 'when' doesn't have to be correlated to biology

Here's one from Australia where some (drunk sounding) guys go through an alcohol test without stopping, which is illegal and with inevitable results. They thought they could use the 'am I under arrest?' strategy without under
