The Courtier's Reply "fallacy" is... well, it's tricky. The issue is that it's subject to incredibly heavy cherry-picking -- when a talking head on TV goes on about how climate change is a hoax, or vaccines cause autism, nobody thinks twice about questioning the knowledge possessed by the talking head and whether it makes them qualified to issue comments on those topics. And yet those talking heads should, if we're being charitable, be permitted to yell "Courtier's Reply!" the instant someone asks about their qualifications.

Which means that when you dig down and parse it out enough, you discover that the "Courtier's Reply" is really "the fallacy of criticizing Dawkins". Which is probably not what an allegedly-rational community wants to be promoting as fallacious.

His first application to join TAO as a remote operator was denied due to personality conflicts (the interviewers felt he was cocky in his responses and weren't sure of his ability to fit in with the rest of the operators.) This was circa 2011 when he was working with the CIA in an NSA joint Billet.

Early 2012 during expansion and hiring within TAO Hawaii, he was given a second chance to prove technical talents in a test designed to pre-empt RIOT (Remote Interactive Operator Training). He failed the test twice both at NSAH and NSAW. His only option was to transition as a contractor at BAH where he was the equivalent of an R&T analyst even though he was in a network administration billet(he was never assigned to TAO directly, because his administration billet supported missions he was asked to fill a critical shortage of manpower). The technical requirements to become an R&T analyst while high, were well below those that perform as Interactive On Net operators (ION). As an analyst he worked projects targeting the exact groups he leaked information about. During his time working his targets he submitted numerous plans that were rejected and greater HQ at NSAW began to ignore is operations proposals. His projects were ultimately removed from him and placed in the hands of capable analysts. It wasn't long after that he decided to lash out. So no he was never offered a job within TAO (which has multiple groups), when he did work with BAH interacting with them he failed miserably.

You effectively consent to being governed by continuing to live within the national boundaries associated with the government associated with that nation. I'm not expressing a judgement on whether or not that's the best arrangement, but that is exactly how it works today.

What would be the downsides (including negative unintended consequences), and how would you address them? Would the upsides outweigh the downsides? If not, you've answered your own question. But if so, PLEASE tell humanity about it because we've been trying to figure this stuff out for millennia!

We understand the concern here at Wit. It's free because we no longer need to generate revenue. Wit developers spend time validating data that is critical to improve the models for the Wit community.
When we joined Facebook in Jan 2015, we updated our Terms of service to mention that you can retrieve your training data if Wit closes at some point. FYI, the training data (expressions, intents, entities) is the critical component. The plan is to continue supporting and growing the product. The release of Bot Engine Beta a few months ago is a proof.

Now that paid apps are almost dead, what would Apple actually lose by opening up the platform a little? I mean the app store model mostly. It's high degree of restriction seems like it's holding the platform back and keeping it from eating more market share from desktop.

Of course maybe that's not something they want. Apple still sells laptops and desktops and a more open iOS could eat into Mac.
Not that it's illegal, but if Google and other massive companies were openly involved in an illegal venture, wouldn't that be reason enough for it to be on the front page?

You're right. In my courses, the textbook was a written version of the discussion. We had books that were basically photocopies of the most recent papers and essays, often disagreeing with each other.

I'm aware that you don't get SO points, I meant points in the "brownie points" sense. ie. Look how active this moderator is they must be good they are closing a lot of duplicate questions!
That is exactly my point. If you don't trust Intel, then who are you suggesting should build your processor? Unless you are going to design and fabricate your entire system top to bottom, and have no other persons involved who could surreptitiously insert evil code, then you're going to have to accept some degree of trust in a 3rd party.
Looking at the economy as a decentralized mechanism for processing information is just that, a way of looking at it. I am not saying that the model is the thing. But I do think that something like the economy can be talked about and modeled usefully, even though it does consist of something quite messy (as does the weather, etc).

Without lenses, what we see simply won't cohere.

Also I think that talking about the economy abstractly does not absolve people of responsibility. The abstraction is merely a tool to understand and model what you know. It may even help us hold people and organizations responsible when they cause damage.

For example, in the aftermath of the crisis we know that complex financial derivatives contracts created overlooked interdependency, and caused a load of unexpected information processing during the crisis. This has induced lawmakers and regulators to enforce clarity and disclosure.

Neonto Sketch Bridge – From Sketch into iOS and Android Code
Having worked with Redux on a few different projects I'd probably recommend a different approach than the one outlined in this tutorial.

One of the great things about React is the advice that you can put more in a single file than you used to be able to. We seem to have forgotten that concept when it comes to the data layer of most Redux applications I see.

I would suggest that people check out the Ducks pattern: https://github.com/erikras/ducks-modular-redux

To sum it up: your constants, action creators, action handlers, and reducer all go in a single file. You can export anything you need from a duck file, and the default export for any duck must be the reducer. This ends up being really nice - no more rapidly switching back and forth between action creator files, reducer files, your constant files, etc. It also allows you to easily collect all your ducks and attach them to a redux store (thanks to the default export.)

Some suggest putting any data fetching in the ducks as well - I think this can be handled on a case-by-case basis - I tend to prefer to keep my data managers in a separate "services" folder though, which are just files that export async functions like "fetchUser(id)" or "fetchArticles()"

Ultimately there are many different valid ways to structure your code, this is just one way that I've found to be much more enjoyable.

I remember and like armageddon - and remember world party being good too. I've wanted to try getting into a modern-er worms again, but for several years now, there have been so many different versions being sold simultaneously with so many different names, it's impossible to tell which is the "latest" or even most advanced (several being cut down for consoles and subsequently ported).

See e.g. the post world-party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_(series) with often several new, similarly named titles per year. It's impossible to know what to get, and the fact that several are usually being sold/on sale simultaneously just leads to confusion.
Actually thats exactly what I thought it would be. Expected to see an area in the Tundra's with a wildflower bed.

While I was hunting for a remote developer job last December, it was hard to find the company that really suited me.

Due to the isolating nature of remote working, it's important to know how the remote team communicates (Slack, email, Skype, Phone call...), and how they collaborate (Dropbox, Google Doc, Git, ...). The purpose of this project is to answer those questions and beyond.

I also wrote an article on this project: https://sungwoncho.io/i-am-making-remotebase/

I was not as much interested in mechanism to reduce the training speed by optimizing the structure in order to learn more efficiently. NEAT aims to 'minimize topologies and grow incrementally.'

Rather my interest was in something similar to Q-learning mechanism or RL-LSTM that could learn structural sub-domains within a network, and reimplement them in other portions during training (maybe paralleling NEAT) or during instances of poor output probability.

> it seems like there's always a hint of paranoia to those things.

If you mean the reading list the parent post mentioned, I must disagree. Carl Sagan's books are about scientific divulgation. In fact, "The Demon Haunted World" isn't about conspiracy theories but about the scientific method and how it differs from pseudoscience, and how to avoid falling prey to tempting but irrational ideas (what he calls "The baloney detection kit"). The other book by Sagan is likewise about science, not about persecution or being "an outlier".

Noam Chomsky's book is different. Of course, writings about the control of the media by the few and the manipulation of public opinion can, when looked through the warped lens of someone with a persecution complex, look like confirmation that "they" are after you. But Chomsky isn't paranoid, he is political.

I'm less familiar with the rest of the books, but at a quick glance they don't seem to have a hint of paranoia to me.
For basic forms, where you're not doing something weird, why would intermediate form state need to live in Redux? Local React state seems best for that.
> and cannot introduce new bugs that you have absolutely no way of detecting before pushing the new code to production systems.

Yes, they can. Remember the Debian OpenSSH vulnerability that arose from blindly making changes that Valgrind suggested?

> It can provide similar -- sometimes worse, sometimes better

Much worse, unless you're talking about systems that verify memory safety problems by disallowing dynamic allocation.

> Those verification tools were designed to be spectacularly less expensive than a rewrite in a new language (which is often prohibitively expensive), or they wouldn't have been designed in the first place (they're all much newer than safe systems languages like Ada).

I don't agree. Are you talking about things like Coverity? Coverity hasn't effective at stemming the tide of use-after-free and whatnot.

I strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with Rust's ownership and borrowing discipline and to understand how it prevents problems like use-after-free. You'll find that it's very hard to retrofit onto C, and that's why no practical static analyses do it.
I think that a definitive conclusion on Apple's stand in the market calls for more elaborate analysis of the data. For example, if the majority of the growth in the overall mobile market is attributed to low cost smartphones, it'd be likely for Apple to miss on that.

AFAIK, Apple doesn't lose customers, it just doesn't gain as many as the overall market - and it still outpeforms the other mobile makers on revenues/profit by a huge margin.
Symantec Set to Buy Blue Coat Systems in $4.65B Deal
i worked in anti-fraud for a large online gaming house for about six years from 2003 to 2009 so my information is not current. At that time, there were no bots (whether in the wild or in academic, eg, University of Alberta) that could competitively play no-limit, likewise for tournaments (which account for a large portion of the total hands played in online poker Sites). Anyone know if this has changed?
For improved performance (especially on big/complex forms) I suggest looking/using v6 (technically still in alpha, but stable).
Are we looking at the same article?

1) he shows no graph depicting anything to do with market share, let alone one showing it sliding. There's two graphs, one showing a dip in sales volume, another showing a dip in overall smartphone buying.

The fact that you're saying "it's free because we no longer need to generate revenue" is exactly the problem. It means you didn't even think this through. If you had, your answer would be different.

It's just like Twitter saying "We don't need to generate revenue directly from our API and that's why we're opening it all up because what's good for the community is what's good for us!", except that this isn't 2006 and everyone knows better.

One year later (followup to “I quit the tech industry”)
The average consumer doesn't know or care if there phone is on 4.0 or 4.1 or whatever. They care if their phone works well and integrates well with the services they care about. There isn't much sign that Apple is going to overtake Android in the ways that matter anytime soon, regardless of which exact version your are running.
First: Redux is _not_ dogmatic about putting every last bit of your state into Redux. It is entirely up to you how much or how little goes into Redux. (This question comes up all the time, which is why I added it the the Redux FAQ [0] ).

So yes, there are absolutely times when it makes sense to keep data, such as frequent user input updates, in local component state, and only dispatch an action later. In fact, a while back I put together a wrapper component that does exactly that [1]. Made a few tweaks since then that I haven't added to the proof-of-concept in the gist, but the basic idea is there.

I do have a number of articles on React and forms in my React/Redux links list [2], but at the moment I don't think any of them specifically deal with Redux usage. Might be interesting to look through some of the apps listed in my real-world Redux apps list [3] - the Jenkins UI and Wordpress Admin Page apps might be relevant.

I will say that while Redux Form [4] is probably the most widely used Redux form logic library at the moment, React Redux Form [5] is another option that looks good. In fact, the current Redux Form 6.0 beta API is heavily inspired by RRF's API. My Redux addons catalog also has a page listing a number of other options of varying kinds [6] (none of which I've used myself, btw, just catalogued).

All that said, yeah, would be great if someone were to write up a larger, more in-depth article about dealing with forms.

I agree with your point and disagree with redux-form being a valid solution. redux-form creates a very restricted and crippled API for getting form data into a redux state object and does so at the expense of the spirit of React's componentized model. Any redux-form state needs to be isolated under a special root object specifically for forms. You can't just mount some existing part of your state object into a form because of this. Not to mention redux-form properties have a whole bunch of other "glue" properties in addition to the actual value of the form.

I question whether people use it in large scale production. This is one of the huge downfalls of redux. It makes some things easier, but it makes the most fundamental stuff (editing form fields) extremely contrived. This is the main reason I don't see react+redux as a true answer to the challenges of SPA development but a very rough, intermediate step which needs to be re-thought while putting into consideration the most common use cases.
I personally switched from an iPhone 4S to an HTC One M7 for the bigger screen size, but I switched back after less than 6 months because I couldn't get over the lack of consistency in the Android experience. There were duplicate apps with different design styles, multiple text messaging apps, etc. I found I had more choices in general on Android, but it was rare to find an option that I was completely satisfied with.

If I decide to go back to Android, I would only get a Nexus device with stock Android. That may fix the majority of my complaints with Android.
I guess it's all about freeze/thaw cycles, if the plant can handle one 6 month freeze, it can probably handle one 30,000 year freeze. The freezing is what causes damage, not the being-frozen. I guess.
They care when the app the want to install doesn't run and they can't upgrade their phone. I know that's been a factor for many who have switched back to iOS that I know.

Furthermore, I made ZERO claims iOS would overtake Android (very likely never will, in fact I'd bet on it never happening), I answered a question re: fragmentation. I also responded factually with a link to an unarguable source (so the down voters prove their hater mentality denying facts, but alas).
Yes, I was there.

We tried to, and removed it within 4 weeks of development with it, for all of the reasons you mentioned. It conceptually doesn't map to our Redux model, and new developers struggled with it because of that. I ended up writing my own "wrapper" to do something similar, but to be honest for most of our form state it is handled within the components themselves (via this.state and friends) and only sent to Redux once validated. React's built-in state handling is still useful, specifically for these sorts of things.
