Do you mean that because a book doesn't write itself, which is an impossible task, it can't be true? That seems to remove the possibility to know anything from a written text including science, history, autobiographies, and other forms of non-fiction.
She didn't think she was good enough to take up Comp Sci because the guys had a lot of bluster and seem to 'get things' quicker than her... Is that sexism?

> You know there are academics who study this for a living, right? http://mi.byu.edu/

When you used BYU as a source, it became about beliefs. Religious institutions are not staffed by real academics, they're staffed by believers which disqualifies them as sources.
This claim seems very strongly to suggest a system of belief that is not shared by all: "...the Book of Mormon, which originates ~600 BC in Jerusalem. In fact, page 1, verse 2 says..."
The statement "all are extremely biased" is a bit... biased. ;-)

If you want a successful career in public service, don't serve the public. The FBI does not want the public protected from this vulnerability.

So somebody found some commercial records in Hebrew, and this immediately gets extrapolated into religion. Somebody is obsessing.

Nine out of ten surviving Babylonian tablets are financial records.[1] There are surviving financial records from Ur two millennia older than Christianity.

People can and do write compilers in C++, clearly, but that doesn't make the language any better. The mistakes of others need not justify one's own!

I'm pretty sure the principle doesn't apply here, as these are known regulations requiring the retention and transmission of data, not post-hoc warrants etc. It's like the IRS requiring you to keep receipts.
Have the hackers left the building?
I didn't realize that as of C++14, you can now execute loops at compile time. Does that work in many compilers?
The biggest reason IMO is git bisect which is mostly broken without having each commit be "on its own".
I suspected as much. Those guys who kept jailbreaking time after time seem like good candidates.
Good point - I haven't been in many situations where I had to compete with a woman directly. I suspect part of the reason why it's uncomfortable for women to break into software engineering is because it's mostly men. It'd be uncomfortable for me to work 8 hours a day in a room full of women, at least until I got used to it.

What do you think of ballet? Was it hard to get into as a man? Were there any prejudice issues where you were discriminated against on the basis of your gender, or was it as easy as in other fields of work?

It looks like she hadn't been in many competitive environments vis-a-vis against men, so her first experiences were quite intimidating because she didn't understand their behaviour. It's less common for women to have a lot of bluster and be overtly confident in competition.
Thanks, for distinguishing academics from religion. Trying to keep this academic but people keep turning it into a religious debate about beliefs.

> BUT it doesn't matter because it wasn't actually written down (and/or "revealed") until the 1800s, right?

Right, but that's still 186 years before this article was published. A text that's almost 200 years old still has historic value, whether or not one believes its contents. So there is an interesting link between this article and the book, regardless of personal beliefs.

> Is there a good academic treatment of the origin of the stories in the BoM?

There are some excellent resources at http://publications.mi.byu.edu/periodicals/jbms/. Yes, it's a religious university, but these topics are treated from a scholarly perspective. Also, https://bookofmormoncentral.org/ has some great resources -- it's a fairly new resource with less technical articles but scholarly citations, and its faculty is made of scholars in near-eastern studies and related fields.
I don't work anywhere close or on anything similar to Wall Street.

This is great, but I think they should make it clear that this isn't using TensorFlow.

This. There's a big difference between what you think is probably true and what you can prove, particularly when the law stipulates a state of mind. Prosecutors don't usually pursue these kinds of cases unless the defendant was dumb enough to brag to his friends or leave an email trail.
I mean technically this would be considered hazing. According to the "student handbook" of my alma mater hazing was defined as "making someone do something they do not want to do as requirement of membership" (paraphrasing here).

Personally, as a previous member of a greek organization, I find the definition ridiculous as it would qualify having prospective members study/be tested on the history of the organization as hazing.

Why Procrastinators Procrastinate by Tim Urban
There are some big things happening in Pittsburgh:

Code & Supply (http://codeandsupply.co) is growing very quickly. It is just more than two years old and has nearly 2,200 members of its Meetup group. It holds 6-10 meetups per month, ranging from language talks to toolkits, WiFi, mental health, design, career management, and more.

C&S is hosting Abstractions (http://abstractions.io), probably the largest ever software conference in Pittsburgh. It's in August and will likely sell out of its 1,500 tickets at the current rate (40% sold as of this writing). We've got big names speaking, like Stallman, Zeldman, Sandi Metz, Scott Hanselman, Mike Montiero, Raffi Krikorian, Mitchell Hashimoto, Joe Armstrong, Larry Wall, Allison Randal, Aaron Patterson, Jono Bacon, Kelsey Hightower, and lots more. The full lineup will be announced in May.

Disclosure: I am an organizer of both.

There are lots of other meetups that are big, too. PGH Python just merged into C&S. The PGH FP meetup is growing quickly, too. Pittsburgh hosted Midwest UX last year and Pittsburgh Web Design Day is a pretty big event.

TL;DR the Pittsburgh software community is booming.
This article is deliberately misleading. It's wearing its biases on its sleeve by admitting to only the direct deaths of Chernobyl (43) and saying that the WHO's projected tally of 4000 deaths merely "might suffer some ill effects". Death is certainly a pretty serious ill effect.

> The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests it could reach 4,000 civilian deaths, a figure which does not include military clean-up worker casualties.

How will you get the initial user base and overcome the "ghost town effect"?

This is the major problem for any social network / site. Nobody will use it unless they see that many others are already using it.

What's your plan for reaching a critical mass of users before you run out of money to operate and develop the site?
I think people are confusing the publication date and setting of the story/account within it.

Star Wars took place a "long time ago" but we don't try to prove it either way -- it's just the setting of the story, whether or not it really happened.
The function it minimizes is called the "loss function", and its value for the training and test sets are shown in the upper right area. AFAICT the site doesn't say how it's computed, but I think it's average squared error. The gradient is not learned; if you think of the loss function as a real-valued function of the weights, the gradient is just the partial derivatives with respect to the weights.
we have set procedures from which we do not, under any circumstances, deviate

Fair enough. There's a subset of people who want that and would agree to that beforehand.

But, and here's an important "but", do not just display a checkbox and an Agree button. Instead display a sentence something like this:

I UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL PERMANENTLY LOSE
ALL ACCESS IF I FORGET MY PASSWORD AND
MY RECOVERY KEY

In order to agree to the terms, make the customer type out:

I UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL PERMANENTLY LOSE
ALL ACCESS IF I FORGET MY PASSWORD AND
MY RECOVERY KEY

BTW, don't allow "paste" into the reply field, try to enforce actual typing of characters.

After you've done that, if a customer is later locked out, that customer will STILL be mad at you. It will be the providers fault that the customer can't get access. No matter how explicitly the customer agreed to the terms.

That's human nature. I don't care how explicit you make it, you simply can't win this one.

She is living a life of great privilege. But she wants to be a victim. (Society teaches that this is a good thing to be.) But no--nerdy guys occasionally flirting with you doesn't make you a victim. No, the mere existence and layout of pink dolls in Walmart don't make you a victim. No, applying meme-of-the-day terms like "Impostor Syndrome" to yourself doesn't make you a victim. Sorry.

You're more privileged than 99.9 percent of the world. Just admit it and drop the false morality.
Did you notice anyone openly gay or transgender there? One of the issues with small towns is that you end up thinking people aren't racists, bigots, whatever because there just aren't that many people there for them to discriminate against. I grew up in a small town and thought it was open minded and didn't realize how wrong that was until I was older when I would listen to political conversations in bars, restaurants, and coffee shops how much mindless hatred was hiding beneath the surface.
Isn't it reasonable to say that adherents to the Mormon faith have a pretty strong motive not to find the Book of Mormon to be a bunch of baloney--in fact, to invent as many arguments as necessary to support the idea that it isn't?

I've heard it described as confusion between cause and agency. Just because you know how something happened doesn't explain that thing's purpose or that it doesn't have intent.

There are mountains of tech Goliaths in the SE. If you look beyond social and gig, you will find very interesting and challenging scale companies. Most of the big retail chains(Home Depot), huge DoD and Federal(NASA, CDC, DARPA) opportunities, huge transportation(Air, Rail), infrastructure(ATT, VZ), GE's entire physical, firmware, and on-board development division(ie it has to work level smart people).

These are huge companies with bleeding edge technology problems and solutions, that also have ample vertical mobility.

She was also featured in this Freakonomics podcast about "I Pencil" (worth the listen): http://freakonomics.com/podcast/i-pencil/
As a guy, I experienced the same feelings of not being good enough to make it as a programmer, throughout school and my early career.

Of my programmer friends and classmates who quickly landed good jobs, only one ever took the initiative to ask his boss to consider hiring me. The others just smiled and shrugged when I begged for career advice.

Once I had squeezed into my first company, I rarely received support from my coworkers, and mostly advanced my skills through staying at work for extra hours and spending lonely weekends on side projects. I've come a long way, but I still wonder how far ahead I would be today if I'd just received a bit more support early on.

I'm not convinced that there is widespread sexism in the computer industry, because I've worked alongside and been managed by many fantastic women, and witnessed them advance as quickly as me.

However, I think it's a rare individual who can become a great programmer without having strong support, mentorship and encouragement. Women need that support just as crucially as men, and it's important to draw attention to the places where they are not receiving it.
Been using Arq since version 2 (2010) on multiple machines. Very happy with Arq and with Stefan's support. I use it with dual destinations for my offsite backup - about 9Tb. I also use it to provide family in another country with a viable offsite backup. Restores just work.

Okay but the argument is pretty strong that since it was completely written based on divine revelation 2000+ years after the events it describes, the historical claims are difficult to corroborate.

I got a box of pencils that you sharpen on both ends, one end is red pencil and the other is the "normal" black/graphite color. Great for drawing little UI mockups and such.
I think the study has very little to do with different vocabs, most people agree that the Torah had multiple authors, JEPD for instance is widely accepted...though perhaps not as it once was. Either way, in the documentary hypothesis or other non-Mosaic origin theories, the books were written separately, from different people and revised over hundreds of years. This study doesn't really refute that. The oral history is much, much older; the question is when could this have begun to have been written down?

A lot of scholars have the Torah being penned closer to the 600BC time frame.

> Religious institutions are not staffed by real academics, they're staffed by believers

How do you explain this then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Brigham_Young_Universi... - BYU scholars have just as much impact for good in this world as any other accredited university. I've had BYU professors who are not Mormon. How do you explain that?
Title should refer to the Old Testament not the Bible as a whole.
I would prefer if you spelled it out for us. Are you trying to say that if someone is religious, that they do not value the Scientific Method, and that they lack humility? Or are you saying it is the other way around? If I interpret it either way, I could not agree with you. Your statement comes off as presumptuous and ignorant, and therefore it is ironic and hypocritical, since you have drawn such a tremendous conclusion that is a sweeping generalization based on what exactly? Please correct me if I did not interpret your words the way you intended them to be interpreted.

As far as the study is concerned, here it is: http://www.pnas.org/content/suppl/2016/04/05/1522200113.DCSu... It looks like they had to develop new techniques because of the condition of the writing, for the purpose of processing the images, and analyzing them. I will have to read more before I can form an adequate to my own taste, but my preliminary opinion is, that they are filling in too many blanks in order to form a meaningful conclusion.
> So there is an interesting link between this article and the book, regardless of personal beliefs.

This article is interesting specifically because of the evidence it presents about when the original texts of the bible were written. The historic value of the BoM is only linked to this article if it has a similarly distant origin. If the BoM is only 200 years old (i.e. the 600 BC origin is incorrect), then it's irrelevant to the discussion.

It is only with personal belief that the BoM is 2600 years old that there is an interesting link between the article and the BoM.

These repeated unwanted sexual advances are textbook sexual harassment, specifically creating a hostile work environment. If she had gotten them to text those things to her, she would have grounds for a lawsuit.

Here's the definition of sexual harassment:

Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature...
harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say.

The free software definition specifies four specific freedoms:

It is essential that the user be able to exercise those freedoms no matter what, which means ensuring that certain conditions on the distribution of the program are met, and that all derivative works are also free.
