Players A and B are friends in real life and play a game together. Player A has a rating of 900 and Player B has a rating of 1100. They queue up as a team for a 2v2 match.

Players C and D and randos on the internet and solo queue for whatever. Player C has a rating of 1900 and Player D has a rating of 2100.

The matchmaking system tries to find a match for Players A and B to play against. Their Team Rating is 900+1100 = 2000, so it looks for another team rated around 2000 to play against. The matchmaking system finds a team rated 1000, and that's no good, and a team rated 3000, and that's no good either. It can't find a team rated 2000, so it goes to the fallback plan. It just tosses the team into the solo queue and lets the solo queue matchmaking system handle it.

The solo queue matchmaking system has a player with a rating of 1900, a player with a rating of 2100, and a ~~team~~ player with a rating of 2000. Perfect! It matches the ~~team~~ player with a 2000 rating against the 1900 and the 2100, which averages out to 2000.
I am disappointed, but so it goes. I started writing a Swift AI book a while back and I had planned on abut 20% of the book would be on S4TF. I still have lots of other material, but obviously I am not going to include S4TF material.

BTW, the Haskell bindings for TensorFlow have been actively maintained for years. The latest update was 3 days ago.

Seriously, radians aren't dimensionless. If you calculate arclengths using angles measured in degrees, the whole problem disappears: a 60° arc around a circle of radius 3cm has length equal to (2·pi·3cm·60°)/(360°) = (2·pi·3cm)/6 = pi centimeters. Looking at it that way makes it very plain that the angles have units attached, and those units don't appear in the result of "pi centimeters" because they canceled out during the computation.

This is overt when calculating in degrees because they are an inconvenient size. The size of a radian is chosen so that the constant terms (2·pi) in the numerator and (2·pi radians) in the denominator appear to cancel out, giving a (1 radian) in the denominator which is omitted from the formula because dividing by 1 is numerically pointless. But dividing by 1 radian is not dimensionally pointless; omitting the 1 from the formula leads to the illusion that θ has no unit attached.

"It's just how it is. You are powerless. Just give up now."

A degenerate attitude! Are you surprised that someone is brave enough to want for a better system? Why are you so willing to crumble and accept the broken status quo?
If PBS were trying to empower voters, they could easily report different news. You need to actually analyze their coverage to make any assertion about to what extent they empower their viewers with their news coverage. If I were to suggest stories, I would inevitably be labeled and discarded for the exact same reasons PBS refuses to cover the stories.

And btw, I agree with your definition of neutrality. I just don’t think PBS markedly improves in this respect (empowering viewers) from any other cable news station, they simply have less obnoxious production value and are therefore a more palatable, or at best equally palatable, version of the other center to center left publications I listed.
Just posted my reply when I saw this. Yup, I have the same advice. Avoid SPA overhead, keep it simple with server-side rendering and pinch of javascript for some interactive UX.
Others have pointed out how this is hard with the Google code base (internal API changes, etc).

But it's more than that. Consider how something like GDPR impacts this. It requires at least some work from Legal, Product, Eng, etc. And these things happen fairly often. Even without a monorepo it takes work to stand still.
>To me, your argument kinda feels like a #NotAllMen or "You are racist for pointing out I benefit from and perpetuate racism." I am challenging a specific type of discourse, and you are inventing generalized, absolute extrapolations to declare untrue. Exaggerating to make your opponents position seem untenable doesn't change minds, it entrenches existing positions.

I am very confused how you think my comment is in any way an example of this type of line of thinking.

>I also never made the generalization that anyone making a partisan point would never criticise their own team. But the post in question, and many posts like it, define an all-or-nothing, good-vs-evil struggle that leaves no room for that nuance, and hinders an empathetic discourse with anyone on the "evil" team.

You absolutely did make such an assertion just a comment ago. And the whole discussion here started off through a very vague "all sides are the same" calendar motto. They're obviously not.
Funny it should mention Edmund Kemper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Kemper
“Our work on Taiwan was the most important work of ours – the infiltration into media, temples and grassroots organisations,” said Wang.

Mr Wang said his operation successfully meddled in the “nine-in-one” elections in Taiwan in 2018, leading to victories for pro-Beijing candidates. In May, he was given a fake South Korean passport and ordered to commence an operation on the ground in Taipei to influence the 2020 presidential elections with the aim of bringing down President Tsai Ing-wen.

The story I'd like to see published is how China is using local social networks in Taiwan -- Facebook, Line, etc. -- to gain further leverage.

Also, regarding this quote:

However, on Friday, former ASIO boss Duncan Lewis said the Chinese government was seeking to "take over" Australia's political system through its "insidious" foreign interference operations.

The interesting thing here is Lewis waited until after he retired to name China. From the linked article in that quote:

Mr Lewis was the director-general of security for five years as head of ASIO, the intelligence agency whose primary job is to guard against foreign interference.

He did not single out China during his term in office. When he spoke of malign state actors posing an "existential" threat to Australia, it was a generic reference to foreign governments.

But in the post-retirement interview, he said while it was not only China that preoccupied the Australian authorities, it was "overwhelmingly" China.

Why did the Australian government tread so lightly when it came to naming China? The U.S., U.K., Taiwan, and other countries make no secret about the countries they consider to be the most aggressive when it comes to espionage. What does Australia have to lose by calling out China? Is it all about access to export markets and tourism, or is something else going on?
ZIL is sometimes still used; there is a new implementation called ZILF. Also, I wrote a document called "The Tricky Document" which describes many new tricks for Z-machine, most of which nobody has ever used as far as I know, which can allow even more efficiency than Inform and ZIL.

I also wrote my own implementations of Z-machine, and other people who want to try, can also try to do so.

If I'm interested in a book, I tend to read user reviews. A "351 people said this book is great" note won't help me much. I do the same thing for electronics. And most other things too, when the number of choices isn't very limited already, come to think of it.

If we accept that caffeine is addictive, the notion of exploring if sugar is addictive should not be controversial. The mechanisms of each may not be identical.

> "Those who argue against food addiction also point out that most people consume highly processed foods on a daily basis without showing any signs of addiction."

If someone consumes alcohol everyday, we would classify that person as an alcoholic. I don't find this to be a salient point. The fact that the consumption of processed foods is a daily routine for some people looks like a sign of addiction to me.
Still wear my flynn shirt from 2015 when you kindly did a YC practice interview with us! Thanks for that BTW, y'all captured the intensity of it very well :)
A MMU is not needed for multi-tasking, but it is needed for memory protection. I wonder how well a system could work if its binaries were written on a bytecode that could be compiled to safe native code, making sure that it would not access non-permitted memory. This bytecode would be compiled at program load time. This could guarantee memory safety and a very small performance penalty.
There are Python implementations that avoid that problem as well, e.g. Stackless Python.
The problem with this advice is there isn’t just one thing that gets called procrastination.

I thought that too but this article [0] with really good graphics shows how the federal and state government give out funding selectively to counteract that such that 47 states actually allocate more per-student funding to poor kids than to nonpoor kids and according to the article, it has been this way since at least 1995.

As UK resident I fully echo this situation.

I have Telegram and Signal installed and was chatting with friends above moving over (finally) but its painful especially right now.

With right amount of incentive, force and numbers - tipping point could be reached but I cant see it happening in the current situation.

You're misinterpreting the nature of control. Yes, there are protests, mostly because the government lets them happen. It helps people let off steam, it gives the government an indication of how people feel, and quite often there are conflicting interests which the Party can rise above (remember, government and the Party are not the same thing). So, often it's a bunch of workers protesting against a company, or a corrupt local official in one department - the Party can let that happen, and choose sides later when they've decided which way the wind is blowing. Policemen are shitting themselves because the Party mostly sides with the security apparatus but today they might let the protest get a bit wild if they want to allow the protesters a bit of leeway, and then those untrained, poorly equipped policemen will be screwed.

When stuff he Party doesn't like happens, they shut it down using methods you (on the whole) cannot do in France, the UK, and the U.S. Try introducing political censorship of material critical to Hollande. Try censoring books and courses in university. Try locking up journalists and writers (on tax evasion charges of course) when they say stuff you disagree with. Try rolling out the tanks when a protest gets out of hand. Etc.

So don't be fooled by the seemingly light hand of the gov - they've intentionally backed off from the Cultural Recolution level of control because they know that most people don't give a damn, and if left alone they will do nothing. How about an experiment - I'll hold up an anti government sign in front of the French parliament, and you do the same in Tiananmen Square and we'll see how much control the Chinese gov has ;)
At least with the sources you can try to do something about it. When "compatibility" fails, you are left with your eyes to cry.
I think both of you are correct. Those distortions to that extent do not fully disable every individual's awareness regarding something not good.

Th 10+ requirement makes me doubt that MS is on the right path. OS version independence only really works if the dependencies are rolled out together with the browser instead of the OS. So what in Spartan makes it dependent on Win10? It's not like Win10 will be a huge departure in terms of its kernel, correct?

Problem with toy AST examples is they're great if you're doing something like that, but don't give much motivation if you're not. (Unless you starting seeing all programming as AST manipulation, which can be an interesting viewpoint.)

Here's an example of another way to use GADTs.
http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/making_propellor_safer_with_GAD...

More important that using GADTs for one thing or another is to start looking at the type checker as something you use to assist you in writing the kind of code you want to write, and avoiding the kind of code you want to avoid. GADTs are one amoung many useful tools in the modern toolbox for that.
I think it will be interesting the day that a local community bans central banks/fractional reserve banking and starts to sell houses in Bitcoin/Gold. People will be able to afford houses in cash without going into life time debt.

People will be able to remote work due to internet technology, local work hubs will appear where you can have social interactions.
How is the code generated? Is is scraped from publicly-accessible repositories (e.g. on github), or is it somehow generated on demand?
This sounds like a great idea but after taking a look at this “book,” I must say it’s the weakest collection of patterns I’ve ever seen. Its extreme brevity makes it downright confusing, and the examples are so simplistic, that I am not sure they are really demonstrating anything. For example, probably 80% of jQuery scripts begin with

$(document).ready(function(){ ... });

or some analogue. This is presented, without explanation, as an example of the “Lazy Instantiation Pattern.” What!?

Here’s an actual pattern (if not a design pattern), just from my own experience: Some people like to always name variables holding jQuery instances with names beginning with $. For example:

var $toggles = $('.toggle');

Useful in that you know, at a glance, how to interact with that variable (e.g. .html() instead of .innerHtml).

> I would actually be more impressed if it understood enough about programs to be able to mimic higher-level structure without just memorizing text.

Agreed.

> Why do you think Python isn't good for comparing program structure?

From recent experience I prefer control flow analysis, or something that results in a graph structure. As you said, that's harder with dynamic languages. I also think some Python features (english-like syntax, f-strings, division converts int to float, whitespace indentation, loops vs generator expressions) make structural comparisons messy, but that may just be bias.

The ideal language would be one with minimal syntax, where we can target a decent range of programs, and obtain as much info as possible about program structure without actually running the program. I've come across LISP-without-macros in Dreamcoder (https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.08381), BF++ (https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.09571), and a couple of others which I can't remember right now. I think the APL family (APL/J/K) would interesting because fewer characters to generate, but each character has a lot of meaning.

Right now I'm looking at flow-based programming (FBP) for this: In FBP the control flow is explicit - the program code describes a directed acyclic graph (DAG), so comparing program structure becomes straightforward (subgraph isomorphism with some heuristics). I'm writing a toy FBP language that draws images (https://github.com/mayahq/flatland), with which I aim to test what these models understand.

AFAIK, other companies will suffer as GDPR really gets enforced, but some of them have already set up their infrastructure to do the data processing they need in the EU, and they still make money.

They (Meta) would need to process data in the EU, or lobby the US congress to pass serious data protection laws. When push comes to shove, the first one is possible (though expensive), the second is a pipe dream.
Firefox dev tools have some useful stuff for identifying such things in flex and grid, handy for flexbox and extremely useful in grid. In the DOM tree in the Inspector tab, you click on the “flex” or “grid” label and it enables it, or enable it in the Layout subtab on an element. I think Chromium has decent tooling along these lines now too.
Django Admin is popular and easy to setup, if you need an admin to do the basic CRUD operations, authenticating users, managing forms and content it will do the job. If you need something more complex and scalable, even Django says it's not the best fit. Better try a third-party that is well-integrated with Django like Forest Admin.

That's kinda the problem here. Once you have a model fitting curves is fine. But you need a structure from somewhere.

The problem with this is there's no data. Nobody gets to play a position they haven't practiced for. Yet you still somehow came to the right conclusion.

They need to start paying attention to core web vitals stat.
In case people are wondering, it's as simple as parsing your own HTML pages for links, fetching those links, parsing the remote HTML for a webmention endpoint, and if this exists, send a request over to it with headers indicating the URL of your own page, and the URL you linked to.

The nature of the interaction is not contained within the webmention, but rather the site on the other site will fetch and parse your page to figure that out. That information is within the HTML itself, such as `<a class="u-in-reply-to" href="foo.bar/baz">Commenting on this article</a>` to express a commenting/reply relationship.
