I consider this harmful.

Don't you know? Higher is always better! 5 Ghz in my laptop, plz!

Off topic: Always define your abbreviations. To find out what CNN stands for here, you either have to read a comment thread on HN, or go to the paper and read the introduction. The linked page doesn't even mention neural networks. And as some other commenter here has mentioned, CNN has other more well known meanings than Convolutional Neural Networks.

Am I the only one who thinks that Apple was turning around independently of Taylor Swift? It seems to me that they had heard the criticism before and then used it as an answer to Swift as a better story.

I don't think Swift is so influential as everybody thinks. Apple turned so fast after her open letter, it makes me think they were already thinking about it. Not that Swifts letter was meaningless, but stuff usually takes a bit longer in the corporate world.

While not wrong, as the UK is in Europe, it is a misleading title.

I'm unionised, working in IT. In Norway, basically everybody is in a union.

If the company wants to hire you, they will want to negotiate a deal that works for both parties. Crossing out and signing might be a bit harsh, but there should be no problem saying to the employer that you disagree with some sections.

Maybe the colleagues should start working in some kind of organization? Then they could get real political weight.

If I remember correctly, the patient "died" after the game got too much press, and the server crashed. Instead of rerunning the game, they called it a success. Couldn't find it either, but I did not look too long.

So basically, while HTTP/2.0 could force TLS, the world could still be like it is today, with some pages running web servers with HTTP/1.1 without TLS?

For how long will HTTP 1.1/1.0 live alongside HTTP/2? It's all nice if every web page has TLS, but if I can just not upgrade to 2.0, it will not matter at all...

Well, we can't see the code that is taken down here, but if assignment had a lot of set up code, and the assignment was to fill in some functions, there can be a copyright violation. If these repositories only included student made code, then I agree that there is a problem.

There should be a karaoke bar when playing the instrumental. Also, high seems to be low for me?

According to wikipedia [1], make appeared in 1976, so it should be younger than C.

As this is an issue of copyright violation, I don't have any issue with this. A DMCA complaint fixes just this.

A few years ago I got an email from a TA in a subject I took the year before, that they wanted me to take down solutions I hosted on Github. However, there was no provided code in the assignment, and it was basically implementations of previously known algorithms (A* among others). Not a formal takedown request, but they said I should understand that they had to use the same assignments each year, and if I were providing solutions this could be hard. My answer was that if they are worried about plagiarism, it's better that my solutions are public, as they can be checked against.

Inkscape has been a project for 11 years, why the hesitance to have a version number above 1.0?

Please do argue javascript. How else could you do dynamic and logical operations in the browser presently?

Really? Do you mean people chained together multiple processors, or that Intel produced something? For I can't find it and would be interested in reading about those old systems.

I'm not saying they would be fine now, but once (10 years ago), that was what you had. And now we have 4-8 cores on our laptops, and 2-4 on our phones. Why shouldn't we have 64 cores in the future if we solve the programming problems, and can make them energy efficient? Just because 4 cores are fine now, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to increase that.

I don't like predicting the future.

So give up on parallelism already. It's not going to happen.

End users are fine with roughly on the order of four cores,

and you can't fit any more anyway without using too much

energy to be practical in that space.

End users was fine with a single core Pentium 4 on their workstation. We progressed. How would even Linus know that we won't find a way to make parallel work en masse?

Absolutes are dumb. Practically, a CPU is throttled on memory access, but it is not hard to imagine scenarios where the computation is the bottle neck. For instance, if most of the program is run in tight loops, where cache misses are few, and the whole loop can fit in L1, almost the whole overhead would be in computation.

What's your source on Uber and AirBnB actually endagering life and causing damage? I get that you might not like their business plan, which is a totally legit opinion, but a claim like that do need a source.

Last commit made 5 months ago, and no updates on the project anywhere. Seems abandoned.

The last benefit actually is starting to become a problem, since so many people have gotten Teslas. There's a lot of traffic in the bus lane, as electric cars, buses and taxis fight for the same spaces.

However, your js files would get really big, and download latency could actually be a performance drop.

This isn't really obfuscating, as it is very easy to get the code back into normal js.

On a macro level, I agree. But switching mode isn't so hard that you have to sit twenty minutes in normal mode, thinking what you would do in the entire document, before you switch to writing it.

The different modes (actually 3 in vi, and 6 in vim) recognise that you need different functionality when doing different things. If you are just writing, you don't need to have edit functionality, if you are reading you need advanced movement, and you don't need all of this other stuff when you are entering a complex command.

It is a completely different way of working, but when you realise that you spend most of your time coding not writing, you can see that spending a lot of time in normal mode, with your keys now doing useful stuff, can save a lot of keypresses.

Of course, I'm not saying that vi is perfect, and if emacs works for you, then there's really no reason to switch, unless you want to try it out for funs.

What I got from it, while not a conclusive answer, was that because of the historical ban for anyone but the royal to eat swan, there is no tradition anywhere in the western world for it. Also people don't like to eat "cute" animals, like seals or squirrels. And lastly, when something is classified as a pest, people don't want to think of it on their dining room table.

While the article doesn't explicitly say the exact reason why, I think these were the main points. So I guess that is badly formatting on the article writers side.
