Not sure why this article made it to front page, but fwiw, I used to work as a research engineer in a role where using a confocal microscope in clinical trial settings was a regular part of my job. AMA :D
FFS. I've been fighting uphill this past 5 years to get my colleagues, friends, and family onto Signal. This single decision will tank any hope I have of keeping them there. Literally the only reason I'm able to convince non-privacy advocate types to switch to Signal is because it is a drop-in replacement for their existing SMS application.
This decision is idiotic and will cause a mass migration off the platform. Why not take a better approach and work on a better UX to make it clearer when a message thread is secure or not?
I've been making tabletop game to enter into competitions (there are lots running!) and my significant other has been experimenting with making home-made ice-cream and sorbet :)
This is an intentional design decision in the language - not having lambda functions / functions as first-class citizens makes the code easier to optimize internally.
This is a very interesting idea and looks like a promising execution - I may try this with one of my repos. I have a question: it seems the only license options are IP-locked. What if a developer wants to issue non-IP locked licenses to paying users? This is a feature I would consider enabling - is that something you will support in the future?
Hi! Thanks for sharing. I would love to know what an 'Exponential+ Trend' is. It's no clear from the landing page and I can't find any links to more information about this. Congrats!
I've read the front page and FAQ section but I'm still not 100% clear what this product is. Is it an active noise cancelling app that listens to your environment around the laptop and cancels noise out (like Bose QC25/35 headphones)? Serious comment - I think you need to explain this better on your site.
If you're interested in learning Reinforcement Learning, then I can't recommend David Silver's lecture series highly enough. Youtube videos and slides are available for the entire thing. http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/D.Silver/web/Teaching.html
Possibly related anecdote; A few years ago I purchased a new sim card for my phone with a large Australian mobile carrier. After popping the new card in, I discovered ~10 real human being contacts on the sim that I had never heard of before (not tech support or business, carrier numbers etc.). They had names and everything. Contacted a few of them and couldn't figure out what the common factor was. I lodged a complaint with the carrier and got a personalized letter and call back from their state manager. No explanation why though. Still baffles me today. Do sim cards get re-used?
