Avian malaria is endemic to Alaska, and both Finland, and Siberia formerly had endemic human malaria, especially the more southern regions. Something up there is definitely capable of being a vector for it.
Your answer to the question was another dodge + more gratuitous insults. So I guess we can all agree we are done here.
I said it was not an answer because it implied matters of intent and did not speak to intent directly, nor did it speak to either how your game of fetch is part of some articulable training, and or can be differentiated from any other game of fetch.

You have said, "the actions we take" meaning either you and the dog, or you and others and the dog do something that is permitted, yes?

I did not get clarity on what those actions were.
While corporations are somehow considered people, they can't be expected to be good.
All fair points actually, a lot of babel rules were originally implemented internally in the starlark interpreter itself (written in java). I think nowadays a lot of the language support is implemented in skylark, and "toolchains" are first class concepts.

I definitely had entire days occupied by bazel when I used it, but when I figured something out, it generally "just worked" for the rest of the team.
Safe C++ is indistinguishable from magic.
There are good alternatives to C++: Rust and D. There is a number of languages with not quite as high but decent performance and varying expression power: Java, OCaml, Go, even Fortran for numerical stuff (not a joke; modern Fortran is quite advanced, and most likely runs faster then C++).

I see rather few reasons to start a new project in C++ in 2021, even though in some niches nothing else is viable, sadly.
Fair point. I wouldn't recommend this article to someone just starting out with python, though. It's often good to understand generation n-1's way of doing things but not too be married to it.
I don't see any reason that would cause them to be mutually exclusive.
IMO, Julia is good enough that you might not notice. you can use constructions like `for i in axes(V)` that will automatically give you the indexes, or `V[begin:begin+2]` to get the first 2 elements. Also higher order functions eg. `map` (and broadcasting) mean that you will rarely be manually working with indexes.
Controversial as it may be I completely agree. Maybe I’m just not on the same god tier level as the rest of you but I have done the days/weeks of planning carefully without touching anything close to code “because you’re not supposed to” and there still ends up being things we didn’t think through that become obvious at implementation time. I agree that coding and planning don’t have to be mutually exclusive
Btw, forgot to comment on your remark about the forum.

The thing is, I have "nofollow"-ed all links to the forum from the main site. Honestly, at this point - I don't even remember why I did it, it must've been close to 10 years ago.

Now this makes me think if I should remove those nofollows ...
So the website states it's not very well maintained. Last news post was 2016, it's actually not maintained instead of poorly maintained. The mailing list where I thought there would be action between the people behind the project was shut down because of a lack of resources.

Honestly, there doesn't seem much point in this website at all. It seems like a dead project.
This is trash. If there is a point, the author does not seem to know how to get to it, nor support it.
Magic Earth seems the best option of the apps mentioned, as they collect no data at all, indeed.

I'm more impressed by the cavity PCB construction--fill with epoxy and boom dead simple waterproofing! I've never encountered this before; wonder if it's available with the batch fabs.
After going through the entire thread, it seems that since ZX Spectrum everything is more or less the same only thing that has improved were materials and the fact we are buying our computers each 1 - 2 years. Concepts I saw were very much the same as back then.
> That being said, I agree with most of the issues you raise. Lack of backwards compatibility, rapid changes in APIs and need to build from source make building webapps in Node more complicated than it needs to be.

I think Node is on the precipice of being ready for primetime. There is quite obviously a groundswell of interest. I myself was screwing around with it last night trying to get Express, node and Mongoose to work and I couldn't figure it out with the docs I found (99% sure problem is on my end though).

Since there is rapidly growing demand for documentation and examples, the community will work to fill that. I would be surprised if we make it another 6 months without someone really picking up the reins and taking the lead for community documentation. Who knows, maybe someone already has and I just haven't picked up on it yet?
Not quite true: http://jszip.stuartk.co.uk/
Oh didn't take it as critique. And I agree. The one who solves this might have an interesting company going for them.
Take comfort in the fact that a huge number of people feel the same way - conversations with strangers or even friends can be nerve-wracking.

I had counselling for anxiety problems not too long ago. You are unique and so I can't offer any specific advice other than if you can afford it, or get it free (eg. in the UK on the NHS for example) then it will help, and you will feel better. Try to find a counsellor who has specific experience with anxiety or depression issues (most will) and talk to them openly about your fears.

If you can't get counselling, then find someone who's opinions you respect and try asking them about it. I was hugely surprised once I told people I was getting therapy, and many of my friends were in similar situations! It might appear like other people are confident and sociable and have loads of friends, but lots of people are just as scared as you are.

I don't know why you have to postulate "magic". I didn't say that a program that helps each kid progress as quickly as possible wouldn't reduce the variance. It probably would, as the kids on the bottom have more room for improvement. But I would still expect a large amount of variance. Actually, I just noticed that the "after" graph is clustered near 100%, so it's possible that there still is a large variance, but it's just not measured by the tests that were administered. These are probably standardized test scores and don't really address higher end performance.

So I guess my points are:

1. I'm doubtful that the "paint by numbers" approach is what the young Picasso needs.

2. Maybe I'm wrong about (1), but we certainly shouldn't subject the advanced students to this method until higher end performance has been measured.

3. I find the attitude of the author, who used the phrase "even things out" as if it was a good thing, concerning. Evening things out should be an explicit non-goal of education.
fucking impressive

I have used TensorFlow almost exclusively for my deep learning work in the last five years and using TensorFlow is much more common, largely I think, because Andrew Ng’s excellent five part course used it. On the other hand Jerry Howards’s wonderful free classes use mostly PyTorch so maybe my argument does not hold.

For research and for use in published papers, PyTorch is much more widely used.

I suspect the effect of this, in practice, is almost negligible.

What's more interesting is why being good at maths/physics is considered very uncool in English-speaking countries (not sure about other European ones), but is actually seen as cool in, say, Russia or Bulgaria or Singapore [citation needed]. It is not seen as strange or unusual for girls to be better at science than boys either, possibly because it is not uncool [another citation needed].

I would say that has a much, much greater impact on outcomes than how numbers are represented in the different languages.
>and you experience of the height at which you go to the car is not about ground clearance

They are proportional, most Seats sit about the same height from the floor, so Ground Clearance it an accurate measurement to know how far the seat is from the ground.
“The most effective way to carry out an attack is to get the client — a person — to do something stupid,” he said."

I created a startup and a significant patented technology in the multifactor authentication space (now owned by Equifax). The main goal at the time of its creation wasn't to prevent dangerously stupid/naive human actions - that turned out to be impossible - but rather to nullify the potential consequences of them. As engineers we have a responsibility to design systems in ways that minimize the effects of human error.

It seems that Kevin has made a career out of pointing out systems that don't embrace this design principle. I suspect he will be very busy for a long time.
The Demon-Haunted World was incredibly formative for me, and I was around 14 when I first read it. Prior to reading it, I believed wholeheartedly that UFOs were alien spaceships, and despite already being fairly certain I was an atheist, I was still on the fence about ghosts. The most important thing about that book was that it didn't teach me that things I believed weren't true because a distinguished scientist said so; rather it taught me how to decide whether the things I believed were likely to be true, and how to examine why I believed them.

Of course I didn't immediately transform into a perfect 14-year-old skeptic by reading this book (I'm twice that age now and I'm sure I still believe all manner of things that aren't true), but this was the first time I truly realized that I even needed to be skeptical about what I believed.

A version control system with the feature set git has is necessarily complicated, this is not a bad thing. Forcing the complexity on the user is a bad thing, but git does not do this except when it is necessary to. Using git at a basic level is not hard.

This essay is not attempting to explain how to use git, it is explaining how git itself works and how changes are physically tracked. There's no need for a basic user to know this information, but if someone wants to dig into git and understand how it works, this essay is a nice guide. Explaining how SVN or any other version control system works at this level of detail would also be complicated.
ACID on a single "record". I am glad they document this openly, so many other DBs try to make it seem like they support ACID transactions in general.
From my understanding with FoundationDB, you did something of the form of "begin transaction" "do lots of stuff" "end transaction", and it just worked. I've yet to find another option that can do this.
If you haven't read it yet, Founders At Work is, IMO, the most informative book I've ever read as far as what the early days of a startup are like.

The most fascinating part to me is realizing that few, if any, of the founders realized they were really on to something. I'm sure they all had plenty of self doubt and wondered if they were crazy at times. They believed in what they were doing, of course, but there's a period of time before a company becomes a breakout success that isn't sexy enough for most people to pay attention to. We tend to skip past the whole "working and building" part to the "look at how successful they are." That, in my opinion, can be dangerous.

I'm very grateful that Jessica is going through all of the work documenting these stories for us. Thanks, Jessica.
I have no idea why people like to use HS math problems for interviews.

#1 If the ratio is A:B, then you need to remove A/(A+B) * f(x). So, using your numbers it's 1/(1+3) * f(x) = 1/4 f(x). #2 = rise + safety factor. But, safety factor is going to be some BS number. Area wise it's got to deal with rivers not just coast lines, but for a minimum wall you could in theory just use pumps and ridiculous amounts of energy.

Honestly, Google actually tracked this stuff and these types of problems are very poor indicators of workplace performance.

Great write-up, Trevor.

It was actually an eerie read for me because I'm the co-founder of BuzzData.com, and we're building something that could be fairly described as a superset of the app you demoed right now in Toronto.

So I guess the real question is whether you believe in the idea enough that you'd come and work with us on it? The primary difference between between BuzzData and TheoryVille appears to be that we're a funded, happy team of seven and we're getting a lot of traction from our soon-to-be launch partners.

Perhaps your vision doesn't die here.
A lot of these high-paying jobs seem a lot less interesting to someone who has the hacker mindset. To me, they certainly do.

Also, you're guaranteed a nicely paying job, but there's no opportunity for massive wealth like there is in the riskier world of startups. Here, I may make 20k next year, or I may make 2 million. Anything's possible. More risk == more reward. This holds true.
I hope this doesnt mean that I lose friends because of my friends pushing products on me.
No. It's public data. It would actually be illegal for the government not to release it.
My resume, which also uses a QR code (nothing too fancy, though) - http://advancewith.us/stuff/Resume.pdf
Almost every software timer follows this rule (even ones in the kernel) - "Interval timers / Thread Sleep guarantee that the amount of time waited is at least this long, it doesn't guarantee that it is exactly this long.

As seanalltogether mentions, timers are run at the beginning of the render loop => "Run timers, layout page, render page, repeat". If you're busy doing stuff in #2 or #3 (or if your timer handler takes forever), you're not running #1.
Regarding support....

When you get to the point of ordering several servers, it makes sense to just order a full spare. Standardize on a particular setup and keep a certain ratio.

Then one box goes down, we just swap HDs to another standby chassis. Back up in 10-15 mins, then you go dig into the problems with the other chassis.
People aren't that black and white.

Little statements like that definitely make a difference.

A lot of pirates do it to avoid buyer's remorse, and finding a message inside appealing to them to support the author is hardly unnoticed.
While you're certainly right that there is no guarantee in the strictest sense, do you really believe that?

I'm German-French. I honestly believe I've never met anyone in my life in my age group (that I've talked to enough to say this) who would be willing to go fight a neighboring country.

Where would these people, and support for them, come from?
I wouldn't dismiss a meta-analysis out of hand, but at the same time...isn't there a strong pressure to publish an effect above placebo? They rated 73% of the studies as having a moderate risk of bias, and certainty of the evidence ranged from moderate to very low.
As fascinating as I find "how" the spies did it, I'm more interested in "why" they did it? Was it dissatisfaction with something in their lives? For the money (boring)? Because they didn't want to see the US so far ahead of the USSR?
<cite> is the canonical HTML tag collision. WHATWG and W3C defined this differently. In practice as so often in the Web it's resolved by a mixture of just accepting everything and so nobody gets what they wanted, and by semantics of the document being ignored anyway.

Yes, you're correct that you can't just shove arbitrary things into ASN.1 in this way and so ASN.1 itself is arguably not where the extensibility is, that's fair.
I want to jump in to underline your point in a couple of ways. One has to be able to make by-and-large generalizations from experiences and guesstimations. We should already know when we read that kind of thing that by-and-large means there are going to be one-off exceptions. So we don't need to hear about those exceptions unless they're intended to dispute the bigger point.

Every time I hear the contrarian anecdote in the form of: "well, I personally don't include myself in that generalization" my first question is whether that's intended merely as a report of a one-off experience, or if it's intended to be treated as evidence in favor of a different generalization. Virtually every time I see this type of Contrarian Comment, it's mute on this most important question and just confuses everybody.

But secondly I think the assessment of Google's reputation going negative is, by and large, a valid one. Though I might say the seeds of that started with the closure of Google Reader and the turn away from supporting RSS, which signaled turning away from open protocols more generally.
My experience is That being part of of the local community, go to meetups, get to know people from different companies and making more friends in the field is way more important than applying for jobs.

I didn't actually check the comments but yeah, they're quite interesting too, the part that I found fascinating was the description of the hybrid breeding process and the results with regards to the Moulard adopting the optimal qualities fit for purpose from both genetic strains, as well as the argument against gavage being largely based on ignorance of the anatomy and feeding habits of the ducks.

Also, that TED talk that both the article and yourself references is quite fascinating.
Phenomenally useful.

Contrary to one of the other posters here, I didn't find the tone obnoxious. I found it made for a more interesting podcast because the guy is obviously opinionated, but for a reason - he's knowledgable.

Keep it up, I say. You might even want to have a bit of fun branding the podcast - angrytaxaccountant.com could turn into something big!
That's a very good point! I actually have no proof that they were the cause of the problem. I assumed it was them because it happened at the same time and I remember a news saying that Visa and MasterCard services were disrupted.
I'm half convinced by your argument, but not entirely. There's a lot of unnecessary pain caused by programming languages that moving the industry forward could prevent. The goal is a useful one, I'm curious about the efficacy. Does language advocacy work? Does talking about this stuff change anything, or are we better off if pioneers just build cool things with a new language and lead by example? Have there been cases in the past where advocacy absent a project has created a community around a language?
This is a really powerful partnership. This falls into the bucket of ways to fix restaurant websites. If GroupOn ever decided to go the route of local business tech powerhouse (way beyond what they do now), I'd buy this combo of startups together in a heartbeat.

Is it more likely? That depends on how often you leave your laptop unattended. :)

I, and pretty much every hacker I know, have some machine they can SSH to on the internet, somewhere. The only added risk is exposing your laptop to an attack against the SSH daemon, which involves either weak passwords, weak/unsecured keys, or an SSH server vulnerability. The first two are easily mitigated. The third is incredibly infrequent, and when it does happen, you've got bigger problems to worry about.

Almost all SSH attacks target port 22, not a random high port, so you're unlikely to even see connections to that tunnel in the first place.

Finally, you don't even need to trust the remote machine, since SSH will authenticate the laptop's host key through the tunnel. MITM attacks are possible against SSHv1, but pretty much everyone is on v2 these days.
