> Maybe finding a way to scale up good things like trust or good will?

Have you considered working in the cryptocurrency space next? I think that would satisfy your desire to find ways to scale up trust. One of the key value propositions of crypto is building trust at scale on the pillars decentralization, cryptography, game theory, and economics.
It definitely differs by organization but you can leverage some of the free resources offered by https://productschool.com as a starting point.
This is a great replacement for the apocryphal tale about collectively-punishing monkeys when one tries to eat a banana, so that monkeys develop a mukti-generational culture of forceful preventing each other from eating banana.
Even if it is, who are you gonna tell? The FBI?
They, alongside the Second Amendment Foundation, have actually had some success fighting states for discriminatory laws that deny 2nd Amendment rights to specific populations. After all, the Constitution wouldn't work if it doesn't apply to everyone, but states have spent a lot of effort putting up roadblocks to everyone from legal immigrants to medical marijuana patients and states would selectively refuse to renew CCWs and licenses without cause or bar legal gun owners from receiving Section 8 vouchers and imposing categorical bans on legal gun owners attempting to foster or adopt children. In a sense they are the exact opposite of the NRA, who haven't done much to address the lack of equal access to the Constitutional right for quite some time when the complainants don't fit a particular mold.
Dr. Elaine Ingham talks about soil health too. I've been following her for years. I really love her work.
I have time series of 2d 64x64 sensor data, resulting in a few billion values that I'm trying to cram into some custom parquet format. I'm often surprised that it's 2021 and we're still stuck in tabular data, with n-dimensional arrays often not even considered.

I want to start a code marketplace using Stripe connect. someone posts a job, people bid on it, someone pays the person doing the job, I take the payment and release it when the work is confirmed to be done.

Is there an existing script that I can use and integrate stripe connect with?
I think the most efficient and ethical way to combat privilege is to spend more resources to bring underprivileged people up, rather than taking away resources to bring privileged people down. In many respects that is the only viable option. For example, kids who have been abused are going to need more support to reach the level of achievement of kids who live in homes free of abuse. You can't solve this by taking away the advantages of the more privileged group (i.e. abusing the children who haven't been). You can only address this issue by providing more support for victims of abuse.
A content-free remark. Anybody can be fired at any time. I consider myself a

The main advantage of Kubernetes isn't really Kubernetes anymore — it's the ecosystem of stuff around it and the innumerable vendors you can pay to make your problems someone else's problems.
Diversity substantively means fewer whites and asians. The goal is a 100% diverse school system.

I was with you initially, but after thinking about it could be argued that creating classes that are overwhelmingly white in an overwhelmingly non white district are something approaching segregation. In the end, all that is being done to the “advanced” students is that they’re being offered the same education that their peers are getting. Resources spent on the advanced learning program could have been spent on offering a better quality of education for the entire school. I’m sympathetic to both sides of this issue but I don’t find it simple.
> You can easily write tools that generate json/yaml for you based on your needs. For most applications you're deploying you'll need:

Can you with yaml? Helm tries, but isn't that great, jinja ( depending on how its done ( jinja in yaml as in ansible or jinja to yaml as in SaltStack)) does an ok job, but fundamentally managing a language which uses spaces for logic with code is hard, and certainly YAML wasn't created to be managed that way.

JSON i agree, you can easily convert your language of choice's data structures to it. But do you have to? It adds another layer of complexity, and you can have unexpected bugs ( since you have a logic layer that creates JSON, which could be wrong due to a logical error).

HCL is a DSL that needs learning and few use outside of Hashicorp products, but IMHO it's not that hard ( docs are great, tutorials are plenty) and it's worthwhile to have data+logic in the same human and machine readable layer.

In any case, Nomad accepts JSON for everything ( mostly for when non-humans interact with it).

You don't have to be fake in an interview - if I see that in an interview, it is a warning sign, since it erodes trust in what the person is saying since I don't believe in what the person has said.

My own approach to interviewing is generally being honest and respecting disagreements/avoiding creating controversy & arguments (I will point out any technical disagreements I have though).
But why can't the add function do this itself?
I dropped out of MIT both to do a startup overseas (ITAR) and because my parents wouldn't contribute any of the "expected family contribution" and I couldn't get enough loans on my own.

Rather than all the crazy games, I'd prefer if education were genuinely market priced, or if individuals could take reasonable debt loads or sign indenture agreements. A commercial organization should be allowed to do something like ROTC; paying an undergrad full college costs in exchange for a guaranteed employee for 2-4y post graduation at market rate.
No, I was specifically responding to the person who said that it was "cool" that governments used covid resstrictions as a pretext for running "social experiments." I am specifically quoting an individual, not creating a strawman. Read the comment thread I was taking part in carefully for evidence.

For what it's worth, I think many of the covid restrictions were at the time believed to be necessary measures, but that's actually not the debate that's taking place here.
That's not true everywhere. In Washington State (and some other places around US) minimum wage is the same for everyone including tipped employees. So please stop spreading this flawed logic and accept that it's just another way for restaurant owners screw you over with your own full consent

Zustand is my favourite simple state management solution, and it’s not too hard to swap it for Redux Toolkit later on.

If I was building something where the Django Admin Panel could be a huge advantage I’d use DRF instead, but overall for most small projects I like it less than Express.

Maybe it's just me but it took a long time before I found another "big" API as horrible as BSD sockets is.

Go's immutable UTF-8 string type is one of the nice things about the language

A Go string is almost exactly like this C struct:

struct String {
uint8_t* addr;
ptrdiff_t len;
};

The language guarantees you can't modify the bytes in memory range [addr, addr+len)

Go's garbage collection makes it simple and natural to have one string alias ("point into", "overlap") part of another string. This works because strings are immutable. Compare this to the nightmare in C++, where substrings require copying or explicit handling

The rune (UTF-8) iterator and other facilities make Unicode handling natural in Go

In summary, Go's string type is a huge win

IMO it depends if you're already in a chaining context. I wouldn't use it in a simple if-else branch, but it also removes the need to use if-else when you're already in a 10-function long chain.

Before:

if a.b().c().d().e().f() {
Some(g().h().i())
} else {
None
}

Now:

a().b().c().d().e().f().then(|| g().h().i())

Even better if you have multiple boolean returns in the chain.

I hate them because they are too loud. Sure they work fast, but I need to put air plugs in before using them, and those are never provided.
The point is that these algorythms do study your behaviour and correlate it with the behaviour of others. These predictions don't have to be 100% accurate to be useful. What's wrong with 70% of tall people benefiting from being associated with the other 30%? This only lasts until someone figures out how they are different and breaks the association right?
Similarly, I remember reading a short story (or poem) that I believe was penned sometime in the 1960s. The piece contained a line to the effect of “he had a heart like a telephone”. Now days, people might think that the subject’s heart was easily broken, but it meant just the opposite because those heavy Bell rotary phones were unbelievably durable.
If you read the article, he puts forth a few examples where generics make code re-use possible, where it was impossible before. This not only means less effort, it means fewer bugs.
You don't need to configure the JVM as in many cases the defaults are fine. And most of the frameworks in use today do not require an application server.

Go is definitely simple. But I wouldnt characterise modern day Java development as being that complicated.
No. I didn't. I have around 2K public LOC in several projects (I can't check now my private projects, I guess I had typed more than that) but I would trust better NateDad's experience.

I have two years of sustained Go usage (since end of 2012) and never missed them.
Besides the object system, OCaml has a powerful module system, with first-class modules and functors (which is already basically very equivalent to what you'd expect from objects).

Besides that, objects have structural typing, and you can even create objects without classes (somewhat similarish to anonymous classes, except instead of interfaces you have the structural typing to give you something like statically typed duck typing).

OCaml also has multiple inheritance and friend classes.
All loops encode simple logic? I don't think that's true.

Either way, a very good reason for not using loops is to make code more readable. If I see a loop I have to run it inside my head to figure out what the intent is, and if there's multiple things going on, that can take time. If I see a 'map' I think "right, this is tranforming every element in this list in this way"; if I see a filter, I think "right, this is removing elements in this list that don't satisfy this property", if I see a groupBy, I think "right, this is grouping elements in this list by this property", etc., etc.

Code isn't only more succinct, it's more human friendly.
This has been made worse by the fact that they classify almost everything as secret now - while at the same time they still have to show many others those documents. When doing that even labeling stuff as "top secret" tends to be done a lot more often (when it's not necessary), which only dilutes the secrecy of the real top secret stuff, mixing that together with the less top secret stuff, and making it just as easy to be leaked and/or shared.

When you have 10,000 documents labeled "top secret", instead of just 100, who really knows what's really important from that list, and doesn't need to be "as shared" anymore?
sorry, yes I should have said veth.

at least that way you can dump them on an entirely different vlan, if you want separation. The best part is: you're using your cloud provider's networking tools (lets be honest it is a cloud and they are way more likely to work)

What kind of physical products have monthly subscriptions and start with free trials?
This article conflates two separate, very different issues into one:

* Issue #1: There is a tremendous amount of hype, noise, and snake oil surrounding the moniker "AI." Pretty much everyone agrees with this statement. (And anyone who doesn't agree with it... is probably selling snake oil.)

* Issue #2: Is intelligence just a form of "curve fitting," i.e., is it just finding solutions to very complicated, high-dimensional problems with more and more computation via search and self-play? Note that DL via SGD is a form of learning via search, RL via state-action-reward mechanisms is a form of learning via search, and multi-model/multi-agent DL/RL are forms of learning via search with self-play.) There is sharp disagreement on the answer to this question #2. Is that really all there is to intelligence?

The OP believes the answer to #2 is no: intelligence ought to be more than "curve fitting" via search and self-play.

Others believe the answer to #2 is yes. For a typical example of their thinking, here's Rich Sutton, Distinguished Research Scientist at DeepMind: http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html
I think he fears that the main effect of a UBI-type program will be raised rents, it will be a transfer of wealth from members of the wealthy class to other members of the wealthy class, something of a Wework-style boondoggle.
One can still "blame" tourists for littering, irrespective of whether cops can enforce the rules or not, because it's a lack of civic sense, a lack of understanding of the importance of preserving such things. That sounds like a good enough reason to point fingers at these tourists.
When referring to a species no longer existing in a region, it is usually referred to as being extirpated. The title taken literally, claims Malaysia has announced the species extinct, when in fact, it is not. It has been extirpated.
It appears to be the most technologically advanced Ponzi scheme ever.
Using the "trust the science" line on UBI studies is a perfect example of the abuse of the phrase.

> To give a more concrete example, in the discussion about universal basic income, one of the main counterarguments is that people will just stop working. The answer to that counterargument is "trust the science", because every study made, has found that in fact people don't just stop working.

In literally every study ever done, the UBI substitute was not permanent. Studies of the impacts of a temporary stipend do not logically transfer to a permanent stipend. If you get a source of income that will stop in three years, it makes perfect sense to use that income to prepare yourself for life after the income. If you get a source of income that has been guaranteed for life, you've got a completely different set of incentives and there is no reason to assume that studies of temporary stipends apply.
Well he does say:

> Perhaps I missed something, but most of my friends have been on the lookout and I have had a number of games referred to me; none of them came close to Balance of Power in algorithmic sophistication.

So it's not like he missed the simulation genre evolution, he just disagrees with the direction that evolution took. And he suggests it's because the time has not yet come for his ideas.

An obvious retort is: maybe people don't (and won't) want to play games with sophisticated algorithmic simulation because they are boring. He doesn't seem to offer any good argument about why his ideas are "good but too early" as opposed to merely "bad". As such, I find his post not very persuasive.
The experts at http://encode.ru are rather less dismissive than you.

Doing something for money does not mean that you can't be interested in what the effects of your work have on others and it abusolutely does not mean that you have to prioritize the amount of money you make over everything else - but for publicly traded companies the incentives do push that way and that's where the cynicism comes from.
NCAA is rotten from the head to the tail. It's bad for athletics, bad for athletes, bad for students, bad for colleges. We can be sure that crap like this goes on at every NCAA institution.
My opinion is that one should set a requirement on php 5.3 as a baseline. if it doesn't match that skip it.
Yeah I was really just trying to point out that the marketing on the main page can be improved. I get that OOP can be a selling feature, but the other four not so much. Using the main page to talk about how great it does integration, how great the docs and examples are, and the API compatibility story are all things that would be better for convincing users to go to the next page. Using the funnel model how many users only viewed the main page and never went further?

So weird to see this at #1 since I was researching this exact topic last night. My idea is a fully scriptable (Racket or CL) editor with modern package management system. A tiny C core would handle rendering (curses, etc.). Very cool write up though!
I have seen the /r/haskell subreddit. I lurked there for a few of months and my overall impression of it unfortunately is a sizable portion of people on that subreddit treat others exactly in the way which I have been treated while trying to learn Haskell, which is quite a shame. :-(

Softdisk created a lot of stuff for the IBM Big Blue Disk, a software magazine like you mention. I've scoured the web, and am now polluting Google even further perhaps with this comment, but I'd love to find some of that old stuff. Lots of great memories from those demos.

Almost every useful scalable service ends up shifting economic gains from labor to capital. And consumers benefit from it, because as a very rough economic rule of thumb, the more value that flows to labor the less efficient the service is and the higher price consumers pay.

From a customer POV taxis were horrible, full-stop, and Uber/Lyft are fantastic. I can actually get a reliable, safe ride almost anywhere now, and that was impossible before (ever been held up by a gypsy cabbie because yellow cabs won't go to certain parts of NYC? Not fun...).
