You seem to be continuing to operate under the assumption that only people who can code, are capable of contributing to a project.

There are so many things that can be done to contribute to a project, that don't involve writing a single line of code. Testing, evangelism, documentation, support, etc, etc.

Why should attempting to improve the culture of a project, be any different?

If it reassures you in any way, CA is 15% asian and SF is 35% (21.4% of chinese descent.)

imo, African-Americans and people who are visibly muslim or appear to so be to morons, such as Sikhs, get the bulk of the discrimination.

Fingers crossed neither our government nor the Chinese government are stupid enough to get into a shooting war. Both sides seem to bluster a lot but the ties that bind are massive exports from China to the US. I think the chances of serious conflict in a peaceful relationship spanning 4 decades continue to decrease.
Sure but page views don't equal dollars.

It's very frustrating, because this is being called an experiment in web publishing, but this post shows that he's either not trying to do the footwork in the "publishing" part of web publishing, or maybe he just lacks the knowledge to do so.

Go to the "how to pay"[1] page and count how long it takes for you to figure out how to give the guy $5. _Then_ try to go through the checkout process (which asks me for a shipping address!). The ultimate irony is that that post says my time is expensive, yet does not make it take 10 seconds (Stripe Checkout form) to give him money.

These 1:1000 numbers are being presented as if it's indicative of the state of the web publishing universe, but my guess is these numbers would be much better by spending some time on the "publishing" part of the job. And, unlike what the writer seems to imply with his whole mailing list digression, those changes can make the user experience better as well!

I hope this doesn't become a reference point for people.

You post is great until the last sentence:

Permaculture is really cool, but you are never going to get anywhere near as many calories per unit of land.

Permaculture means living such that we don't go extinct. Having a great portion of our workforce return to bucolic agrarian pursuits is one way to get there! As they say: it beats flipping burgers.

The point of a food forest is that it has been carefully cultivated to maximize your human edibles, without needing energy expensive, oil based, or otherwise negatively impactful external inputs. When you subtract the non renewable energy expenditure, you certainly will get as many calories per unit of land!
I think the areas that BEAM is lacking in can be tackled and brought up to parity

Probably. But why not spend that effort on the language and libraries?

instead of homogenizing the VM-field

That makes as much sense as saying your language shouldn't run on the kitchen-sink Linux so as not to homogenized the OS field.
Even though the integer type is unbounded, in practice the vast majority of runtime values are small, thus we can implement them efficiently using tagged pointers [small values are completely contained in the pointer]. LISP and Smalltalk have been doing this since the 70'es. Sun SPARC even _had_ hardware support for doing it with no (zero) overhead, see tagged instructions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC). Even on x86, it's not that bad; the overhead for the general case is two tag extractions and three predicable (not-taken) branches (we must check for overflow), about five additional instructions. Not zero, but the dynamic frequency of these is much lower in a high-level language than in, say, C.

The performance differences between Erlang and Haskell (etc) are due to many reasons, but primarily due to Erlang being a dynamic PL, with late binding and dynamic typing. This makes efficient implementation hard (heroic efforts on JavaScript not withstanding), but Erlang makes no excuses as its strengths lies elsewhere. If you need fast compute you should do it in C and interface it with Erlang (lots of ways to do that).

counterpoint is also used for the individual voices in the chords. you don't just bang out one chord after another. that's why you switch between different inversions as the chords progress - to avoid parallel 5ths etc

Virgin Media is the only UK-based ISP that uses cable (DOCSIS). All others use VDSL2 where available, ADSL2 or just plain old ADSL (g.DMT) if you're sufficiently rural.

The trouble is that Virgin Media have much cut out for them if they want to match the availability of VDSL in the UK. Therefore, I can imagine they will be targeting large towns on the commuter belt long before they consider more rural villages.

I...I really don't understand what the primary use-cases are for this library. By "experiment", do you mean some kind of scientific experiment? A double-blind study on file input? That...doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's the closest thing that I can glean from a skim of the first documentation page that makes any sense at all...

Motivating Example
Let’s assume we need to write a quick and clean script that
reads a couple of files with time series data and computes
the average value. We also want to generate a plot of the
data.

That...provides no motivation whatsoever. If I want to do that, I'll use Pandas and matplotlib. This example sheds absolutely no light on what pyexperiment does or why I would want to use it.

I'm assuming you have an idea for a product and want someone to work with you on this. I agree with the comments that you should learn to build things. This doesn't mean you need to become a skilled programmer, but you should become familiar with the basic tools to build a first version of your product. There are a couple of reasons for this.

1. The best people are typically attracted by traction, metrics and numbers, not fluff ideas. If you can build a first version of your product and get initial traction it will be much easier to get people interested in what you're doing.

2. Putting in work shows that you're serious. For every 100 people that have "business ideas" there is maybe one that actually acts on them by investing their own time and money. This will set you apart from all the other people looking for technical co-founders.

3. It will make communication with your technical co-founder down the line easier. If you are doing anything related to software then you must understand (on a basic level) how things work and what tradeoffs and decisions go into building a product. Again, you don't need to become a programmer, but you should have enough knowledge to have an intelligence conversation with a technical person about important technical decisions. Otherwise there'll likely be a lot of frustration and bad surprises on both sides. Trust me, I've been there.

Btw, a "first version of your product" doesn't necessarily mean a be full-blown application. You could setup use a blog, newsletter, spreadsheets or whatever else to generate traction.
Pandas and matplotlib are great, I use them all the time.
Yet whenever I write a python script for such experiments, beyond some point, I find myself writing code that parses command line arguments, handles simple configuration options, saves the results of my computation in a shareable way, etc.

Pyexperiment collects these bits and pieces into a library where I can just write the relevant stuff - it's mainly solving my own pain-point and I thought I could share it.
> They appear to be at very similar distances from us – around 7 billion light years – in a circle 36° across on the sky, or more than 70 times the diameter of the Full Moon. This implies that the ring is more than 5 billion light years across, and according to Prof Balazs there is only a 1 in 20,000 probability of the GRBs being in this distribution by chance.

> but NNs can go beyond this, and this article is exactly the kind of thing that will instigate this evolution.

Thought experiment: one day it is not uncommon for some deeply moving, emotional works to be composed entirely by computers (though performed by humans). How will we, as a society, react to that? Will be reject it as being 'unauthentic', or use it as an opportunity for introspection?

It would even probably not be unreasonable to think that these NNs will be given names, and different NNs will be characteristically different, so then you might see a Wikipedia page or an album from a specific NN in much the same way we'd see a human composer today. How weird would that be?

Edit: or, even, NNs trained on specific composers (and the music they'd have heard), to try and create 'new' works from existing long-dead composers, or even just to complete famous half-finished works. How blasphemous would that be? But for a sufficiently competent NN, I can imagine the output might be very interesting.

Edit 2: (apologies, but this is really out there) I have also wondered how much information is sufficient to 'recreate state'–that is to create an 'AI' that passably mimics a specific real person (kinda like a Turing Test), and in that sense creates a pseudo-immortality.

>> So...it's for configuration management? What do >> "experiments" have to do with this?

Yes and no, pyexperiment handles configuration management for you (by using argparse and configobj etc.), but it's main point is that it saves you from having to set up these components. My main goal was to reduce the overhead of writing the same "framework" code every time, so pyexperiment sets you up with simple one-command solutions for many common tasks.

>> What does this package do that isn't done by click,
>> docopt, or argparse?

It will set you up with a framework where e.g., you don't have to write the same boilerplate code to get a multiprocessing cabable logger that logs to a file. You just call log.debug("bla") and that's it.

I see, so you talk about the case where we not observe any events at all? In that case I would indeed be surprised if it was possible to (mathematically) prove a theory using this negative knowledge.

We can make use of negative knowledge to draw conclusions about a given system though. For example, if we do not know whether an electron bound to an atom is in its ground state or not we might observe the system to see if it emits a photon or not. The longer we observe the system not emitting a photon, the more likely it is that it is in its ground state. So here we actually gain quantifiable knowledge about a system from the observation of a "non-event".

In the video he does run on tiled stones even and over a small gap, see 0:39 to 0:49. It looks like he's not struggling but it's such a closeup that you cannot see if he lost balance or not afterwards. I'm still very skeptical though, that gap would be quite hard to cross on a skateboard without a small jump and on a skateboard your center of gravity is almost 2 feet further back than on this thing. Maybe the propulsion in the wheels help.

Nothing new here really. Shitty architecture and practices are shitty architecture and practices. If you're not disciplined enough about how you package, deploy, and manage the lifecycle of your software then putting the blame on technology X or methodology Y will not change anything. The root cause of the problem is never the technology really. The root cause is almost always the human processes that lead to creating poorly documented and buggy software and sprinkling magic DevOps, agile, or whatever dust over things doesn't make a difference no matter how much advocates would like to believe otherwise.

A concrete example is that even before containers I saw plenty of binaries that were magical black boxes that no one knew how to re-create from source anymore, well not without some human intervention anyway by poking and prodding things at certain points during the compilation process. So to say containers and microservices are making things worse or better misses the mark. Things are the same as they've ever been and the more disciplined software shops are still doing just fine. The less disciplined software shops are still finding plenty of ways to blow off their feet (referencing a quote about C++). DevOps, agile, lean, six sigma, or any other methodology has nothing to do with it.
// We can also enforce a form of polymorphism with the 'where' clause
// This allows the compiler to decide which function to use.
// Note: that means that all information needs to be known at compile-time.
// The param modifier on the arg is used to enforce this constraint.

This sounds like it means that I cannot supply a variable as the argument to whereProc. Is that correct?

Never mind the incorrect term in the second sentence (I'm relatively sure it's language-immersion...I mean, I guess a language emersion course could be described as one that takes you out of your native language, but I've never seen it described that way).

Ultimately, the article just misses the forest for the trees with statements like "While the foreign volunteers were well-intentioned, they misplaced their focus; it was necessary to build stable homes, but the real problem was crippling, multigenerational poverty. Lacking skills and employment to improve their condition, Haitian families continued to beg in the streets in the absence of tourists. The volunteers came and left but nothing had really changed."

The author is so unaware that they don't seem to realize what they even wrote. The people needed houses and were poor. Are we really supposed to believe that because building houses did not fix both issues that it should not have been done at all?
