I'm working from a memory of a podcast, so pull out those pinches of salt: Chef offers a testing suite - it basically offers a running mode which does an audit of what current conforms to the recipes you've passed it, and outputs a list of actions it would take to remedy this.

Combined with VMs, this lets you do some basic automated testing to ensure that your script is doing what you intend it to do.

I could swear that they also some kind of automated validation against an "inventory", which would make it possible to do automated tests against a known, unchanging target, but at this point I'm probably mis-remembering. They may have just advocated using VMs, images, and audits as validation.

Well, this is a really well designed and beautiful language, i really enjoyed it.
In general, if you're an user of ML (as in, apply already known ML methods to your particular problem instead of researching better conceptual ML methods) then you'd be able to work on a higher abstraction levels where all the math is inside the libraries and you're not really touching it, much less implementing the formulae.

"He went on to explain that the Guardian’s social media management software provided by Tribal Fusion enables tracking and data mining of users “without the consent of the user to allow that tracking of data” in order to feed back to advertisers."

Don't you have to agree to the website's terms to use that website in the first place? If you're already breaking those terms by blocking their ads (and thus their revenue), do you really have a legal leg to stand on here?

Isn't saying "whether or not you use an ad-blocker" is private information like saying you should be able to stand on a street corner in a bright pink shirt and people shouldn't look at you because it's your business what color shirt you wear?

I can't see this as anything but a ridiculous attempt to use a legal loophole.

If you want to see their content, enable their ads. If you really don't want to see their ads, don't use their site. It's not really that hard. You aren't entitled to their content.

I have gone through a similar phase. Got rid of social media, switched back to a feature phone, am reading real books, listening to music on physical media, using cash where possible and whatever else.

The Internet has gone from a place with a high barrier of entry (and the interesting characters that self selected for that barrier), to an all encompassing entity with a load of moralisers, businesses and governments fighting over the ability to call the shots.

In its current state, I think it's better to take a step back. View the Internet as an occasional tool for getting things done, rather than a place to live within and rely upon. Let the masses have their addictions fulfilled, while technology enthusiasts move on and enjoy real life.

Awesome to hear feedback from someone at Twitch - to answer your questions:

- We're working with several notable YT creators to bring them in as partners. In comparison to Twitch, we're focused on pre-existing content that can be watched as live channels.

What I don't understand is this: if he sacrificed so much for his kids, they went to private schools and elite universities, why would he have trouble asking them for $400 for an emergency? Is a good education worth nothing these days, are they making poor financial decisions too? I refuse to believe that you can send several kids to private schools/universities without being able to save some money for emergencies, or accumulate some assets/property that can be liquidated if needed.

>Therefore, statistically and empirically women are more interested in pay-equity laws.

I don't think that actually follows:

1. People are perfectly capable of caring for injustices they don't experience personally. E.g. men being interested in pay-equity laws not because it would benefit them, but because of a belief that they are necessary for a just society.

2. People are also perfectly capable of acting against their best interests. E.g. women being against pay-equity laws because <insert reason why women "deserve" to be paid less>.

Not at all - I knew exactly what you were saying and I didn't think it was sarcastic. I also wasn't offended, you basically summed up a lot of Calvanism (and rather starkly but accurately summed up my view on it!), and there was no real sugar coating of it. I respect that.

To be honest, when I read about the Prosperity Gospel, it's so far away from the New Testament gospels I have read a few times now that I just frankly don't understand it at all. I mean, in the gospel of Matthew, Jesus is reported to have said "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

I've definitely grappled with the concept of hell and damnation. It's not the appropriate forum to really discuss this in too much detail, suffice it to say that I think a perfect, loving God who is rejected and wronged by a creation made in His own image (with all that entails) because that creation needed to be given the freedom to accept or reject it's creator must give that creation a response.
Boston's John Hancock tower recently got such a mural, visible from miles away: http://bcheights.com/metro/2015/mural-hancock-tower-public-a...

You don't need to block much light to do something like this. Blocking with a bright matte paint an amount of light equal to that which is normally reflected would be quite visible, and would not significantly impact the light entering the building.

(This is because you don't normally see reflections of the sun off a glass building, but rather reflections of other buildings, which are matte surfaces. So e.g. a translucent matte mural which blocks 10% of sunlight would be nearly twice as bright as 10% reflections of matte buildings that reflect/scatter 50% of sunlight, while only reducing transmitted light by 10%, from 90% to 81%.)
Disclaimer: I am located in Europe, working in the discussed industry and have spent the major time of my professional career at an automotive OEM (although not BMW).

I'm can totally acknowledge that most executives there have an engineering background (by degree) and started in an engineering position.

But for lots of them this point of their career is far behind them (>> 5 years), the field that they have actually worked on might not match their current position or that technology isn't even relevant any more. Executives that have worked as engineers in some mechanical field in the 90s and are now responsible for some cloud software or automated driving technology development (without any kind of SW knowledge) are not uncommon. It might make sense for the companies - but I also would not label these as the "development team" with the deep technical know-how.
indeed I did mean disapprobation, thanks!

I think this is a side effect of having jobs which are, relative to the rest of the country, extremely well paid, combined with very high cost of living.

In the UK if you told someone you'd be moving to the Bay Area on a starting salary of $130k you would be looked at like you were minted for life. For most tech graduates that's more than their parents' final salary and that's where you get in at! However there's a disconnect between what seems like a high salary and your spending power in somewhere like San Francisco.

Over here tech salaries are a lot lower, though still good compared to everything except finance. Anyone who lives in London will assuredly not be buying a Tesla on a Google starting salary.

People like saying "Oh he earns a six figure salary", it's a status symbol, and the natural response to earning that sort of cash after going through college and being dirt poor is to splash it a little.

I noticed myself being just a tiny bit less interested in labouring through the full article knowing that nothing I or anyone else expressed about it after the fact would ever make it to Stephen's attention. The tantalizing idea of a comment affecting an author (no matter how small that chance) definitely plays into my consumption.

It makes me wonder whether a better approach to disconnecting is to set quotas, essentially saying something like "I would like 2 tweets and 1 blog comment to make it to my attention daily -- hide everything else from me for my own sanity."

> nearly one-quarter of households making $100,000 to $150,000 a year claim not to be able to raise $2,000 in a month.

When people say these things, I wonder if they are perhaps not thinking about taking drastic action.

For me, when I do disaster planning I think about extra-ordinary measures.

For example, when I was in my 20s if I needed 2000 in the next month I would have planned to at:

- At age 21. Break my lease and move in with my parents. The lease was month-to-month, and would have instantly put an extra $1000 per month in my pocket + food savings.

- At age 25. Break my lease taking a $6000 hit, but that'd be paid in installments over the next 12 months whilst I could certianly find a place that's worth less than $3,000 per month in rent.

- At age 29. AirBnB my house or co-let. It's a good area, I'd be surprised if I couldn't scrounge up $2000 that way fairly fast.

That's just an example of focusing on housing.

Another thing to do in desperate need would be to cut digital communications and sell equipment. Do you have an iPad or Macbook? Can you sell one and use the other? How about a smartphone. Sell it (300+ dollars back) and switch to cheapeer services (maybe around 50-80 back).

----

Tl;Dr.

People with $100,000 a year income have assets that they can sell or lease to cover a $2000 transaction, but they answer the question as if thinking "if I change nothing at all, can I come up with $2000".

That's not how budgets work.
The second part can sometimes be problematic

That's exactly where everything goes dark.

Applying AI to understand troves of persistent/temporary data archive threads in order to learn and reveal patterns and associations in complex datasets of patient encounters can help doctors prevent expensive unnecessary lab tests that need not happen again for another patient. That's conveniently doable for human-computer interaction.

The viscosity of natural language seems to be the insurmountable challenge here. Based on what I've experienced, visual perception by computers and translation between natural languages can permanently earn its success in a matter of time's length less than a decade. Not just speech-to-text because we still have to trick Siri for example by speaking slowly.

It's probably my angle, but it is not a qualifying success when we all yet have a lot of work underway to do.
> Love #16 and the associated article.

I can't recall where now, but I remember reading (and agreeing with) an article which proposed a slightly different format - describe what the commit did. "Fixes the js typo on the foo page".

Grammatically, I prefer this method as well, since the commit has already been applied, so it's not "going" to do anything; it's already been done.

Of course, the only difference is in the tense of the leading verb, so it's probably one of those "potato" thing.
Here's my favorite git oneliner:

git push origin --delete $(git branch --merged origin/master -r | grep -v master | grep origin | cut -d/ -f2-)

It deletes all remote branches that are merged into the remote master. Because people always forget to click the "Delete branch" button after merging their pull requests.

It makes sense that we find this on occasion (once you accept that there exists some combination of folding that produces this). Once one protein folds in a way that can induce the same modification, it will replicate rather quickly.

Because of the polarization of American politics, the focus has moved away from progressing the country forward and more about scraping back any and all losses from one's political opponents.

Nice! Would you at all be willing to provide the extension? This would make slow days so much better.
Viruses have two main components. The first is the delivery package. This is the element that is capable of delivering a payload into the interior of a cell. The second is the genetic code that hijacks a cell's normal functioning to produce more viruses. Viruses have a genetic component, either RNA or DNA, which contain instructions for building their viral envelopes. The genetic material is as vulnerable to damage as cellular DNA.

Prions are a single component. They are proteins with the same amino acid sequence as a protein normally produced by an organism. Except they have been misfolded. The geometry of the misfolded protein is such that it becomes a catalyst to reproduce the same misfolding error. There are no "brains" in them. They can arise entirely accidentally. They're a bit like the ice-nine from Vonnegut's _Cat's Cradle_, in which a crystal of a novel form of solid water that melts at a higher temperature can recruit liquid water to grow the crystal without limit. Each individual prion can misfold any number of same-sequenced amino acid chains.

And like the ice-nine, which melted at a temperature above human body temperature, the prion may be able to survive through more extreme conditions than other forms of the protein.

In the best case scenario, the prion does little more than cause a deficiency of the normally-folded protein forms in the body. In the worst-case scenario, it poisons some other process within the body in its misfolded form.
