A possible positive outcome: maybe it would cause enough FUD in the tech industry that people start creating good explainable (model-based) data processing systems again.

It finds linear structures, and when you make the FHT a layer in a deep neural network, it can discover nonlocal linear dependencies in feature space much easier. Far from universal, but more general than would seem. The HT is rather a robu

Well, they do work, but streaming processing in Python is not difficult and it’s much easier to have graceful failure processing and self-documenting code. Not to say of extending the logic if it would ever be needed. But maybe that’s more

Trees as data structures are inevitable. Did you have to balance them or perform other nontrivial graph theoretic transformations though?

I am familiar with the research group in question, and the reporting is beyond awful. Nobody claims they’ve discovered a universal solution, just that the developed techniques are useful in multiple problems, from document scanning to auton

In Russia (I guess from Soviet times) there’s a similar saying, ‘a good engineer won’t get promoted.’

I've basically learned programming and database design in Delphi 7, using a couple of thick textbooks + Win32 API reference (.chm; no internet back then for us). The smoothest developer experience (build, GUI design, debug) I've e

I also thought about selection bias right away. Tired people probably avoid these energetic ‘activists’ altogether.

But what would they actually do if you’d say that you’ve been on call enough already, not going to continue for a week or two? sure they wouldn’t terminate you, that’d be too expensive for a skilled employee of which there is rumored to be

Doesn't any half-decent webmail proxy such requests nowadays?

Thanks! Didn't recognize that as an 'about' link, not that familiar with the pre-web culture, I guess.

What is it? I like the aggressive oldschool design, but it isn’t clear from the first glance, what is it, a forum, news aggregator, or..?

Because it's huge (perceived) risk for (often) little gain. These projects (I'm especially familiar with research) aren't known for code quality and following best practices regarding security etc. So you open yourself for sh

Go read guides at head-fi.org, there are multiple budget-conscious (as well as very hi-end) discussions for all kinds of applications. Very good forum. Start here: https://www.head-fi.org/articles/headphone-buying-guide

Okay, but then: what is the difference between innovation and invention, from your understanding of the common word usage?

You might well be right on both items, but see the comment below by spatular for my intention. (aside: is there a name for the extension of Hanlon's razor where one shouldn't attribute to stupidity a simple miscommunication?)

While in RoW iPhones are definitely luxury items, by this very property about half (or more) of people whose decisions matter would have one, and you often wouldn’t want to use technology that doesn’t work on your bosses’ phone.

In our university course on the Philosophy of Science we were taught the difference between innovation and invention , and it seems like the recent trend is to substitute one for the other. I find it to muddy the discussion a great deal.

Yes, Apple Music UX consistently worsens, and new multitasking gestures on the iPad (that are modeled after the iPhone X) are much less convenient than before. The amazing part though is the overall UI smoothness (except on app startup) tha

There's at least Redmine. Uses Textile by default, but there were plugins for Markdown.

Can confirm, Alcon dailies total one and Acuvue TruEye are the acceptable ones for the drier eyes. Personally I found Total 1 slightly more comfortable in general, but it lacks the UV filter or something that makes them notably worse than T

They talk about client-side cursors, these are part of the Python DB API. What you shouldn't use is server-side cursor, which you create with DECLARE in PosgreSQL. These keep their state on the server and are intended for optimizations

Everybody recommends IrfanView, but is really the "desktop linux" (in tnat old derogatory sense when it was for nerds) of image viewers: endless configurability (with important things like color management off by default), strange

The thing is, there are almost no cases where a problem must be solved in some strict mathematical sense. Huge part of project management is the problem reformulation to fit the existing solution to the initial requirement: what do you mean

It's for Go. For libraries it probably should be in the title.

True enough. What is your favorite image viewer? The built-in in Win10 is basically unusable because it keeps trying to open files it doesn't understand (raw photos) and tells me to install a plugin (which probably doesn't exist).

Most of this also applies to Redmine, which seems too eager to copy Jira. It seems there's lack of the middle-ground apps, where you start like Basecamp or Trello, but can turn on various controls, categorizations, required fields etc.

I was talking of compact ILCs specifically, that they would profit from this to become comparable with bulky 'pro' gear.
