Can you think of any other marginalized folks whose ideas you don't like who might be considered valid targets for your "mentally ill" label, and therefore not worthy of any further attention?

Might these folks be minorities, or under-represented segments of society, who nevertheless have as much of a right to their opinion as you do?

There is nothing here that demonstrates these people are harming themselves. Do you have such evidence? In a free society, people are free to be stupid and live their lives according to how they see it. People are free to interpret the law, personally and socially, however they wish. This doesn't mean they need to be classified as "ill" by all and sundry, for the sake of a few differences of opinion. Or .. does it?

You know who else was good at calling 'unsavory elements' mentally ill for the sake of social isolation? Stalin.
Well, sometimes you need an architect rather than a committee. This is one such time.

Looking at the whole thing superficially (i.e. just throwing something at the wall here), this is how I'd have done it:

* packages are by default always installed in user space.

* package manager is built into import system. Importing a package that's not in the user's environment yet will lead to something like pip install at script startup.

* import statements understand versions. By default the latest version of a package is loaded. If something else is needed, the programmer can specify the specific one.

* for most third party packages that are publicised in pypy it's recommended to bind all imports to specific versions of dependencies, so it can be tested in this configuration at release.
Short summary: Tabbys Star is the one that has the mysterious dips in brightness that some have suggested might be because of a Dyson Sphere, but according to the article, that proposal is just as unlikely as anything else that has been suggested (due to the lack of IR-emissions).

To solve the mystery, they need to get observations during a dip which costs them money for the telescope time. Tabby has a Kickstarter campaign to do this, and she's asking for 100k USD. With 4 days left, they still need some more money.

I think I'll donate to this one.

>That's the beauty of ML, you don't need to worry about these details if it gives good accuracy.

I get very alarmed by this. At work we have several examples of ML systems that have done good things for many years before suddenly and inexplicably blowing up and producing nonsense. Our folk explanation (as we have failed to produce anything resembling a proper one) is that the models that are captured in some cases appear to replicate reality but are deficient of some fundamental part of it which later comes into play destroying there predictive power. The domain theory changes in a sense, in another sense the driver was there all along but just hadn't featured in this part of the regime.

They'd like to pass their own (e.g.) consumer protection laws and negotiate their own trade deals. Which is cool and all... until they'll realize that, to trade with the EU were Brexit to come, they'll still need to comply with EU regulations. Only then, they'll no longer be voting on them (at all).
Perhaps there is something of value to their point of view.

Would you be more or less inclined to investigate this possibility, with the pretense that they are "mentally ill" in place?

I posit that this "mentally ill" label is as heinous as casual racism, in that it serves to remove interest in the target.

Of course string theory is falsifiable. String theory reduces to quantum field theory in some limit and to general relativity in some other limit. Unlike all the other previous theories, string theory is the theory that has resisted all efforts to falsify it yet.

It's a ridiculous misconception floating around that string theory can't make predictions, when in fact string theory is the only theory we have so far that predicts all known observed phenomena.

That annoys me. Book typography is a sophisticated art. Selecting a typeface for a book is a skill, positioning it, sizing it and kerning it for that book makes a big difference.

Books all presented in the same way lose a lot of their character. Dickens shouldn't look like G R R Martin.

Sadly, its a bit of a first world problem, most people don't notice it, not consciously. They just get this sense that ebooks lack gravitas or character somehow.

Alas, you and I simply disagree. I wager that full responsibility for ones project implies the onus of fixing whatever problems you introduce into the project by importing the external dependency in the first place.

Were you my junior, telling this to me as your project manager, I'd demand you fix the bug. The reason is - we already gained from your decision to advance the project by including the external work, and at the moment you included it in your project you accepted responsibility for the issue. Failing to take responsibility for this code, whether you wrote it or not, would be a major distraction from the task, and thus does not reflect positively on you as a developer...

I started reading it from a UK perspective. I couldn't get past the "we didn't break the law!" self-congratulatory feel.

But then I realised that discrimination is common in the UK, and there are absolutely employers who pay people less because those people have disabilities; so I switched into enjoying reading about a company learning that employing someone with a disability isn't a big thing.

The script is most akin to the Unix `mv` command, in fact it uses it, so that's why I called it virtualenv-mv. I figured this would be most easily understood.

Just out of curiosity, have you used `--relocatable` much? It basically attempts to rewrite full paths into relative paths. Whereas with `virtualenv-mv`, there should be no indication that the environment has been moved. As far as `--relocatable` is concerned... I think even the author(s) regret having included it, if that gives you any indication of how useful it is.
Yeah, apparently I got fooled by it last time around for this conversation.

Give me a ML system, and I can give you a problem it cannot solve. I am guaranteed success thanks to the No Free Lunch theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_theorem.

In the case of deep learning, I can point to the task of determining values above 0.5 on an infinite Perlin-noise-derived 2D space fed by Mersenne Twister with seed 0, with an infinite number of octaves. Deep learning does not deal well with infinite spaces to begin with, and the pseudo-random generator cannot be easily encoded with common neural network nonlinear functions.

On the other hand, while we cannot compute an infinite number of octaves, and while places extremely far or extremely small details will run into IEEE754 limitations, we will get a good approximation by writing the program that computes the texture.

And that is just with only two numbers as input and one number as output.

> I assume if one were charging a batter one could also divert some power to keep it warm

The Tesla is always diverting power to keep the batteries warm in the winter. In fact, if you park it outdoors in freezing temperatures, and plug it in to an American single-phase 120V outlet using a long extension cord, all the power will go to keeping the batteries from freezing and it won't charge at all.
But that's the whole point. All those people have more in common than you realize and its knowing each other that makes people care about their neighborhoods/neighbors.

Every year there is something called National Night Out which I had never heard about before moving to Oakland. But all across the city neighborhoods block off their streets and have a big cookout in the middle of the street. Because of that we've met all of our neighbors and, at the very least, can say hello and not be "that tech dude ruining the neighborhood" or "that Latino family whose kids are always hanging around outside", etc. Instead we have some shared experience that brings us closer together even if it just means we aren't shy about saying hello.

You never know, maybe those gangbangers make a killer brisket!

Electrical cars will never be popular in Russia, at least in the most parts. You have to drive at -40 temperature; you have to drive 500-1000km in one day; and not only drive, but keep warm temperature inside for passengers (not every day, but your car must be able to do that sometimes). You don't have enough money to buy many cars for different tasks, gasoline is extremely cheap (compared to Europe) and not much people care about ecology. Electric cars just don't suited for that.

They might become popular in Moscow and other huge cities with warm climate, short distances and rich people.
A more nuanced and interesting discussion would be if putting the money made from selling oil into kick-starting the EV industry (through subsidies, etc) a net ecological plus or minus?
Well, they are kind of more difficult than exceptions, but I think that's the point. Handling errors by use of an exception mechanism is discouraged in idiomatic go.

A big part of the style and simplicity comes from not needing to worry about what possible exceptions could come bubbling up from a library stack and under what conditions.

Even though people complain about the repetition of "if err !=nil" at least you know from the function declaration if an error is could occur.

I think loneliness by definition includes the negative effects. What you're talking about is 'solitude'.

>I wonder how it affects the people who genuinely prefer being alone, and like it!

I'm one of those people who loves being alone, and I often ask myself the same question. From my experience so far, the risks you mention are lower overall, but they're still there. I

t is often interaction with others that prompts me to be more physically active, eat healthier, etc, in the same way I suppose that it's generally easier to commit to doing or not doing something if you're responsible to someone else.

I find that as much as I love being alone, my thinking and behavior slowly 'deteriorates' and sometimes it can actively make me unhappy. I do think this can be alleviated to a large degree by being disciplined, but then that in itself is often easier with others 'watching you'.

It's fascinating and I'm now wondering how much research has been done into solitude, rather than loneliness specifically...
This is a highly culturally dependent practice; here in the UK, saying "hello" to strangers is weird/creepy/intrusive and suggests you want something from them. (Also: the American practice of baring your teeth when smiling is often received as aggression.)

It doesn't mean they're not nice people: just that by starting an interaction trivially you've invaded their comfort zone.

Mr Stein released the first version of SageMath some time ago--not sure how long but maybe 2007.

among other things, SageMath reconciled the confusing namespace soup that is scientific python (numpy, scipy, and matplotlib--three brilliant libraries with partial overlap in functionality and in package names) which SageMath gathered (along with other libraries like SymPy) and put them under a single rubric, 'SageMath'--one (large) install and you have all of scientific python.

SageMath also included a notebook

And then to "prove" your point you completely ignore the case I discussed, presumably because it doesn't fit your pre-canned rant which would look more at home, frankly, on /r/hailcorporate.

> So again, the simple question: what problems that currently exist would regulation solve?

In ML, they might say you were overfitting. Predicting is all well and good, but predicting too well can indicate the machine hasn't really learned anything. It's just spitting back nearly identical information as the original.

It sounds like that is what this black box is supposed to do. All you need for a perfect black box is every possible data point...
As someone who was raised and still lives in the South I second this. Southern hospitality is a real thing.
FWIW, I don't have anything against checking errors - I agree that it's preferable to exceptions, but the way it happens to be done in Go is rather distasteful. A sum type, as suggested by TheDong, would make things clearer, by statically forcing the alternatives to be:

(0) A correct result (and no error object)

(1) An error object (and no correct result)

Ruling out:

(0) Both a correct result and an error object

(1) Neither a correct result nor an error object

By “ruling out”, I mean “it's a compile error”, rather than “it's a pattern, and the community won't appreciate it if you deviate from it”.

Panics as normal control flow are just as unidiomatic in Rust as they are in Go, but at least:

(0) There's a decent (in fact, superior) alternative for error handling.

(1) You don't risk leaking resources. RAII has that covered.
That saves some, I've tried it a few times in the past and it doesn't help as much as I had hoped (perhaps 30%). I am sure that when eliminating all visual processing we could achieve something like 200% without much effort.
What bothers me a lot more is that Go has somehow managed to get a trivial but crucial thing totally wrong: Some errors can only be identified by value and others can only be identified by type.

There is no general and reliable way to handle specific types of errors.

And there is no way to add instance specific information to errors in a later version of a package, because that would require using an error type instead of (or in addition to) the existing well known error value, which breaks callers.

> I believe there are many languages that you could use that would have all of these features. That way you could use what you want and wouldn't have to complain about Go.

We are talking about Go. Why do you basically say "f. you" to people when people points at some obvious flaws in the language ? people complain mostly because they are using it, if they were not, they wouldn't. Unfortunately your behavior is something I've seen often in the Go community.

One of the most brilliant coders I've ever worked with was 90% blind. He had a gigantic monitor, and his term setup was such that the gigantic screen showed big chars, 3 at a time. He'd scroll through code like lightning, reading it 1 or 2 chars at a time, and despite this limitation was one of the best kernel hackers of my professional experience. (We bonded as the only vi users in the dev group..)

To this day, I doubt I'd have the temerity and courage to work in this field as he did, and I have to say that I have immense respect for the disabled who overcome these disabilities and nevertheless remain extremely productive. It says something of a persons resolve that they are willing and able to write and debug kernel code, 1 char at a time .. I really don't think I could do it.

Oh, yeah, forgot about Wednesdays. Like you said, it's a good opportunity for sports and whatnot. I also had the half days on Wednesdays but basically my classes always ended between 5 and 6PM (This was High School).

There are the recesses in between, but it was like 20 minute breaks. I could sit and read, but usually ended up just chatting with friends. A nice break but kinda felt forced for me. I would have much rather taken most of that time and gotten out of school earlier and go to a friend's house or something...

The schoolwork thing is a good point, I don't remember having much schoolwork for home in France compared to the US. There were books to read or things to study but I had math homework every day in the US.

I think the big thing I dislike about the French system is the lack of many elective courses (apart from art, latin, or something like an extra foreign language). Felt like I had a lot more choice in the US (at least in my well-funded school). On the other hand, the French system isn't just multiple choice questions...
