> intentional fraud is unlikely. Remember Hanlon's Razor

Hanlon's razor isn't proof of anything.
That article is depressing. They nonchalantly attribute the behaviour to boredom and belittling the creature like a child: "Otto is constantly craving for attention and always comes up with new stunts so we have realised we will have to keep more careful eye on him".

Let's not attribute any aspect of his behaviour to the crippling reality of captivity. Oh, no.
No. In fact all the independent data suggests that it is impossible with less than 4 drops of blood (~100µl) due to sampling issues. No matter how great the detection technology is if you are not able to get a representative sample then the end result will be garbage.
Rust has had multi-parameter traits for a very long time - possibly they were never not multi-parameter. All of the binary ops are multi-parameter. The first parameter is just an implicit Self parameter, which does preference it syntactically, but semantically it is not privileged in any way.

The issue that operator overloading math crates come into is that Rust's polymorphism is not only type safe but also makes stronger coherence guarantees than systems like Haskell do. You can't implement all of the things you want because Rust guarantees that adding code to your system is a "monotonic increase in information" - adding an impl is never a breaking change to your public API, and adding a dependency never breaks your build. Haskell does not make these guarantees.

There's no way to "solve this" entirely because there are a bunch of desirable properties for type class systems and they fundamentally conflict, but I think with specialization and mutual exclusion (the latter hasn't been accepted yet) Rust's system will be as expressive as anyone needs it to be while still maintaining coherence.

Of course in this context Wadler's law should be taken into account, and the grandparent poster could maybe revise their strength of opinion about syntactic sugar and recognize that this is about solving a much more complex problem than how to make matrix multiplication look nice. https://wiki.haskell.org/Wadler's_Law
Was the mainstream reporting responsible for the scientists that wanted the food pyramid plastered in every classroom? Or for all the scientists who refused to use their positions to say anything to the effect of, "our confidence in that model isn't high enough to turn it into textbook advice yet"?

I'm currently using julia to write automated continuous testing for a computer chip. My only beef is that it isn't zero indexed.

I probably could have done it with python, but IMO the language just is cleaner and easier to read. The macro system helps, a lot. The typesystem also gives me confidence in the correctness of some of the stranger code I'm emitting.

It's a really great prototyping language for mathematical concepts.
To me, morality is based upon a goal and the causal means by which we may have relation to that goal. For many, the goal is approximately similar, i.e., for humanity to prosper. I also think that morality becomes productive when consensus is achieved, even if it's approximate consensus.

I don't understand why eating smart animals like cows or pigs has a substantive relationship to human prosperity, except with respect to ecological reasons. If the argument is about sustainability, then I think a lot of people can get into that discussion. But if the argument stems from the idea that we should simply feel bad for killing smart cows and pigs, then I don't understand.

I would also say that under my definition of morality, goals are more important than means. Therefore, just as I would think it bad to let a human starve or be eaten in a forest, by extension, if we were to regard "smart animal" prosperity as the goal, then we would also think it morally negligent to simply throw up our hands and say "the wild took its course with that one!".

So what is your moral premise?

(killing smart animals like cows or pigs) => (mediating factors) => (? moral outcome you're attempting to build consensus on ?)
Mathematics is about proofs. Learning mathematics thus means learning about proofs.
The context of the early 70s was that "The Limits To Growth" and "The Population Bomb" had just been published and there was a real concern in the air that the world was going to run out of food quickly unless something drastic was done. I think this created a strong confirmation bias that favored any scientific validation of vegetarianism as good news. Saturated fat being the main component of meats that is not in vegetables, and carbohydrates being the main components of vegetables that are not in meats, the confirmation bias was decidedly pro-carbohydrates, anti-saturated fats.

IMHO, whenever you get people saying "Wouldn't it be wonderful if the science said <x> because it would help with <some other thing that is hard to figure out>" you get one of these situations.

First, the right tool for the job. ANNs are able to be a general function approximator with sufficient training to be a cost-effective choice to implement. Second, ANNs have been around about 35 years longer than GP.
The TWEANNs I am studying, and that I already mentioned in a previous reply in this thread, hybridize ANNs and EC (GAs and GP), so if you include Neural Networks that utilize Evolutionary Computation techniques to modify weights or topology, then GP is being used to an extent.
Replication as a variable in EC is the key force in biology, and I only see more use of EC techniques to enhance the general function approximators that are ANNs. Further, there are also hybridized computing machines that have been made, and are being made with FPGAs and GPUs. Finance and supercomputing are just two areas that are looking to utilize them. In some, the FPGAs are simply there for updating special computation programs that feed the GPUs. There is some research with a GP optimizer updating the FPGAs and then using the GPUs for the massive parallelization of the computations.
Of course! Shoot me an email (in my profile).
Your approach might make sense: But this is clearly not teaching programming from the historical context.
I read it as a reference to the old idea that "science progresses one funeral at a time". That the information was suppressed because it didn't go along with their opinions, and had to wait until now to come out.

Not sure if you're trolling, because that's a pretty ridiculous question. The obvious answer is Atom's immediate usability and the much easier learning curve over Emacs which requires an incredible amount of research and effort to set up properly and use.

For example how long do you think it takes for the average new programmer choosing Atom to figure out and learn to use the fuzzy file search versus them getting that working on Emacs? Seconds versus hours I imagine. It took me a non-trivial amount of time to set that up on Emacs.

Dominate theories are not necessarily accepted as consensus. It can be hard to notice outside of the field but Noam Chomsky had far less support inside linguistics than you might think.

It's a classic case where it's hard to pickup most people saying 'I have no idea', when there is a lot of talk about theory x.

PS: The counter argument was simply children get feedback while learning a language. Mute children have a much harder time picking up their native language so it's not a passive process.

Assuming Sam's story is accurate, and given your comments: "In this case, Jeremy can claim that he is owed a huge percentage of the equity. Because there are no written agreements where his rights to the equity lapse..."

This sounds like anyone can make the claim. If they set foot in the office, they have a claim. Perhaps someone substituted for the usual janitor one night; then he shows up with a claim. Maybe someone had lunch in the same restaurant nearby, chimed in with a sarcastic comment about anything, and shows up over two years later with a claim.

I cannot fathom the situation being tenable.

"It would have been easy to have something be written up and signed for next to nothing right as Jeremy left." And if Jeremy refused to sign? Would that have been further evidence (e.g. of Kyle trying to push Jeremy out) Jeremy can use against Kyle in this situation to say he's owed more?
It was certainly not my intent to be distasteful; the feeling was not meant to be bring out the pitchforks but instead Sam I believe you are a top notch fellow, this seems slightly odd, put me at ease. If I phrased anything poorly, I apologize. Indeed, the other comments have done a pretty solid job of that.

If the question itself is distasteful, well, that's surprising to me and I clearly still have much to learn. Enlighten me?

> Does the UC system need 500 administrators making >$500k year each?

This statistic is incorrect. In 2014, there were 445 UC employees making >$500K/year each. This includes everybody, not just administrators.

You can get a list of them all here [1]. I didn't go through the whole list, but from sampling a few random pages, I'd guess that there are <20 administrators making >$500K. They are mostly medical school professors, some athletic coaches, and, e.g., the Chief Investment Officer. There are also some CFOs and Executive Deans, and maybe I missed something, so feel free to correct me.

Thank you for posting this - it more or less summed up my thoughts exactly.
It should also be noted, however, that these "upper-class universities" are increasingly trying to court the "lower-middle class" by offering extremely generous financial aid (usually full rides) to those who have a household income less than 60-80k/yr–though these students make up the vast minority of those in attendance, though a higher amount than upper-middle class students. The result is a sort of unofficial idea of "If you're not already in the 1%, you soon will be."

Columbia University, for example, has its current tuition at around $70k/yr, which is over 2.5 times the average American individual of $26k/yr. Columbia and its peer institutions rarely offer merit based financial awards, thus incentivizing the wealthy who can afford it and the poor who it's essentially free for, while avoiding a large part of the American middle-class altogether.

Another group of schools, besides the Ivies, that primarily serve the upper class are the prestigious small liberal arts colleges, such as Williams, Pomona, Amherst, Middlebury, etc. These are some of the smallest schools in the country, yet have the largest endowments per capita (Pomona's has the fourth largest endowment per student in the country, for example, at $1.5 million / student, which is above both Princeton and Harvard). Taken in conjunction with ~$65-70k/yr tuitions (and increasing at an average of 5% a year!), the results are institutions that cater primarily toward the upper class yet put forward the idea they server everybody by enrolling a token amount of lower class students (as many admitted students unfortunately discover they cannot afford to attend).

Source: I studied this topic at, yes, one of these very institutions. I believe the entire university system–financing especially–needs vast reform.

Harvard also released an [infographic](http://features.thecrimson.com/2015/senior-survey/) on their graduating class of 2015 "by the numbers"–notably, 2% of the nation earns $250k+/yr, but at Harvard they made up 30% of the class. That statistic is increasing, not decreasing.
I think you need to read what the military have to say on this topic [1].

It is estimated that six percent of all procurement dollars are lost to fraud nation-wide annually. If you apply that amount to USAspending.gov’s figure of $700 billion dollars that the Federal Government spent on average each of the past nine years, that would total $42 billion dollars per year or $378 billion dollars lost to procurement fraud during the past nine years.

Most racetracks have crazy, crazy insurance policies and the thought of having autonomous cars on the track would send them into a tizzy.
I'm sure Sam is a nice guy.

But lets not forget Sam has a vested interest in this deal going through. To say he is not biased would be completely incorrect.

"It actually seems a lot more unfathomable to me that an expert & thought-leader in startups would (1) be wrong & (2) risk his personal reputation just to make a bit more money. Finally, given the timing, it's pretty obvious Jeremy is shaking down his (ex?) friend for some money."

People can also be delusional and think they are in the right. No amount of so called 'success' can prevent that.

Regardless of who is right in this situation, this is a completely distasteful post.

No, it's more like a prior.
Good article. I think there's a shortage, and I also think technology overload and the ever-increasing rate of innovation and change prevents many junior programmers from really learning agile fundamentals well. There's just too much other stuff to learn that changes too fast, as well as general societal information overload, to get into the deep philosophical fundamentals of agile and OO. I spent hours reading the TDD Usenet list when I started. Who has time to do that now?
Offtopic-ish, but the 2015 model recently had its sound completely demolished by a kernel release in arch. The only fixes are to either downgrade the kernel or recompile it with a flag. Both fixes are annoying as all hell and there doesn't seem to be enough support from arch nor dell to fix this problem!

Camel, meet straw.
No this is pretty wrong. They are both built on Electron which is just the window shell hosted in Chrome. The actual text editors are completely different code bases that have nothing to do with each other.

The better analogy would be they are both built using Honda doors, but they each have completely different engines.
Yet another claim of racism with the assumption that races and cultures behave the same way. BLACKS commit MORE crime per capita than whites or asians. And that's not just the United States. Check the prison populations in other countries. And the criminals make it hard for the innocent to get the presumption of innocence for even the most mundane situations. Many many many examples come to mind.

What people want to call systemic racism are patterns revealing the best truths that policeman can go by, which is experience of reality in their domain. Yes there are bad cops, however there's one more thing you MUST account for when you try to understand why blacks might be treated differently than whites in neighborhods. Different cultures, different types of people will respond differently to deterrents. So police may find that the harder they are during encounters with some types of people means they keep the peace better. And with others, a different approach is what makes more sense.

A big problem is people read this, they're gonna want citations or they'll just say I'm being racist. Thing is, I don't take any kind of pleasure in these facts. I find it pretty depressing. If you want citations, here's a thought, go on about 3 or 4 ride-alongs with cops in areas of varied populations. It will open your eyes. That's the way to know reality. Be there in it.

Fair point, but from the way Sam wrote it up it sounds like he ignored them and let it get far enough that they filed a suit against him, whereas if his plan was to be something they can get rid of quickly before the merger he surely would have come to the negotiating table before it became too late.

That's sort of the foundation though right? The editor built into the electron app is completely different, suggesting that atom is theoretically able to achieve similar performance.

I haven't used visual studio code myself, but does it use a mix of JavaScript and HTML to render and process the text? If so then isn't the major differences the algorithm choices for rendering and editing text?

This makes no sense. Companies routinely use SAT scores in hiring. And even if they didn't, a school is under the same anti-discrimination laws (ADA, less relevant ADEA).

Presumably you can back this up with cases. The USSC ruling in Griggs vs Duke Power [1] is pretty clear.

IQ isn't used because it is a dubious measure, not 'very relevant' for anything. Actually useful metrics can be and are used.

Your broader point is correct: colleges are, of course, forms of signalling. But IQ is a undifferentiated example. 'Top' schools mostly screen on the basis of wealth and social class. But my point is not about 'top' schools specifically, 99% of graduates are not at Stanford, despite what the valley tries to imply.

Disclaimer: I work at Docker.

Docker has become a de facto standard for executing programs in a portable sandbox (aka "container"). There were increasing demands for making it a "proper" standard, so last year we donated a spec and reference implementation for a universal intermediary format - a "PDF of containers" if you will, and partnered with the Linux Foundation to manage it. The majority of the industry followed.

Now that the Docker container engine supports this intermediary format, and other providers will soon follow suit, it reduces the risk of depending on one provider. If you want to switch away from Docker, you can run your containers elsewhere.

Now everyone can focus on building better tools, instead of trying to make "their" format win. The result is better tools.
What do you mean by that?

Radically different format. Still sad to see C100 go.
