11) Social Deduction: Two Rooms and a Boom
A lot of machine-learning papers are eight pages. Speech conference papers (heavy users of neural nets) are often only four. Some details aren't part of the main message, so don't make it in. Often code is available, and initialization and other tweaks can be found in there (even if you aren't going to use their code).

That said, there are also whole papers, even collected volumes, on initialization and other practical details.

Textbooks aren't always up-to-date with the latest practical knowledge, as deep-learning practice is moving quickly. Or they simply don't want to clutter their high-level maths descriptions with code-level implementation details. Teaching stuff is all about tradeoffs. I'm sure several books do mention the scale of weights for simple feed-forward weights though, as it's not an implementation-level detail, and it's probably been well known since the 1980s.

Actually, I didn't say financial influence, I said foreign influence and the article refers back to foreign influences in multiple places, just one example below:

If foreign governments learn that they can influence our elections with impunity, this opens the door for future manipulations, both document thefts and dumps like this one that we see and more subtle manipulations that we don't see.

I'm not derailing a thread if I'm reminding the readers that much of the foreign influence we are threatened by comes about through the complicity / corruption of domestic political actors.

The 15% fluency could be accurate - another way to interpret that number is that you struggle to understand 85% of the language. (Even after completing the German lessons, Duolingo says I'm only 49% fluent.) Duolingo is still great though, because it keeps you practicing every day. I'm amazed at how much more I understand now compared to when I started. It's worth persevering!

Compared to the problems when dealing with 'delimited text', XML is great.

Also it's flexible where you can specify properties as attributes or child nodes, depending on wildcard specifications.

So I have dealt with lots of edge-case XML situations, but the solutions are always straight forward. Also it helps to have a client vs. trying to parse out raw XML, which means programming and scripting sometimes relies on personal tool development. XML handles scope creep well.
Used to agree with that, then a friend got Risk Legacy which has a 15 game campaign. It took us a couple hours the first night just to go through the rules, but it was one of the most fun experiences of my life and we all bonded from it. 4 years later and those are still my closest friends (excluding my gf).
Have you played go? That's about as simple as it gets and still incredibly deep, strategic, tactical and interesting.
Agreed. But possible and popularized are two different things.
the problem then is that you have 2 shockwave fronts hurdling towards the train, what you would probably want is some emergency seals that could break as close to the train as possible to prevent a huge column of air hitting the train.
Basically you would want the pressure wave moving away from the train into the tunnel rather than the train being caught up in it's way, other measures could be bulkheads that close off a portion of the track that the train is in during an emergency repressurization the only problem then is that you are unlikely to be able to stop the train fast enough for this to work.
Your worse case scenario is a breach somewhere in front of the train because then you have tons of air hurdling towards the train at potentially supersonic speed + the train itself at 600mph that can't be pleasant.
All players stay in the game until it is over (hence One Night).
What does that question mean?

If you were to refer to an ethnically Chinese person in Taiwan as "Chinese", they might get irate pretty quickly if they though you were mixing up the ROC with the PRC. And then they'd let you know that they prefer "Han" as an ethnicity marker separate from national identity. Or, that's how my limited experience has gone...
Apple has Swift Playgrounds as someone described.

Visual Studio has edit-and-continue, interactive REPL, visualizers, some sort of backtracking and now from Xamarin Interactive Workbooks.

Then you have the whole INotebook trend which started out with Python and nowadays supports multiple languages.

However all these tools are actually catching up with many of the features that Smalltalk-80, Interlip-D, Mesa/Cedar, Lisp Machines, Oberon already had.

The future of programming, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4
I'm a tenure-track professor and a former researcher at NASA JPL. It is true that the market for tenure-track professors is terrible. One needs to have a number of high impact papers and come from a top-5 program to be really competitive without doing a postdoc in engineering. In the sciences, even that isn't true and a postdoc is usually needed even if finishing at a top program.

That said, there are many good reasons to pursue a PhD. A PhD in engineering/sciences gives one training in research, and there are tons of awesome applied and basic research jobs that require a PhD that aren't professors. Working at NASA JPL was amazing, and it required a PhD. If a person wants to do research, then a PhD in engineering/sciences opens many doors.

I think more graduate students need training in career planning and that they need to have realistic expectations. Too many people think they will win the lottery.
For me, it's a question of tooling.

I would love to see a Common Lisp expert do an entire book on Armed Bear Common Lisp (Common Lisp entirely on the JVM). Edi Weitz hinted at what might be possible in his book, Common Lisp Recipes, but only very superficially.

To me, the power of Common Lisp married to the ubiquity and library of the JVM is the great possible future for CL.

This is less SQL vs. NoSQL and more that you just need to extract a usable data set.

XML in the raw is not directly suitable for modeling or analysis. NoSQL solutions that query or otherwise make XML accessible are probably not worth the added trouble of their administration overhead.

XML extraction is simple to yield tabular data sets to feed into a model, database, data frame or otherwise.

> "competing with Uber might seem intimidating, but in many respects the company is a paper tiger. Its massive valuation, which stood at $62.5 billion in January, comes from intellectual property — its brand and data — rather than from tangible assets."

Right... except that the brand is what creates the demand side of the market, the data is what makes the platform efficient and the IP provides strong defense against 3rd parties like this one.

Just to point out this is a thought-piece in a very socialist political magazine - and while I love Bernie as much as the next guy, this piece is a political folly and not really grounded in any business or technical fact.
Waiting for driverless cars to make them profitable seems like one of the worst bets you could make. Even if they were content to wait, say, 20 years, when driverless cars hit the market, what's to stop anyone from buying a small fleet of them and tossing their own uber-like app up on the store?

Heck, I can even see it in the distant future, turnkey Uber-like businesses, you get your choice of franchise to buy into. You supply the cash for the cars, they supply you an app and a little branding.

Saying "Uber's playing a long game by waiting for driverless cars and THEN..." just seems totally implausible.

I built the PixiJS playground [1] to teach myself how (WebGL/Canvas interactive framework) Pixi works in a practical manner.

Many of the variables can be changed live in the REPL or with sliders as the code is running. Images can be dragged and dropped into the browser for sprites.

I built reactive (pre-React) Pixi components to make this possible. Victor's work is definitely an inspiration.

In the end I used the components and knowledge to build a touch-compatible shelf-configurator for a client selling shelving products.

It's still better to be under paid, than make no money. Some people simply can't afford to take the morale high ground. It's societies job to ensure that employers don't take advantage for people in unfortunate positions.

While I understand the reasoning and appeal behind Uber, I still think it has a weird business idea. Very few people seem to want to discus the fact that ordinary taxi drivers aren't exactly well paid either. This is despite the fact that their in an artificially limited market, with little or no competition. Uber is an important part in increasing service, which is apparently extremely poor in some countries. In terms of pricing, the salaries don't appear to leave much room for lowering the cost.
Same thing with Brexit. The areas with the most immigrants voted remain. I guess if you don't like foreigners you're not going to live somewhere like London which is pretty international these days.

Seconded. One Night Ultimate Werewolf has been a workplace favorite for well over a year. Recently introduced it to my friends, who are into Mafia (though those games inevitably end up with people upset at each other) and it was a hit.

Some reasons ONUW is awesome:

- Each game can be completed in 5-10 minutes.

- Supports a very large amount of players. We've had 20+ players without any issues (with the expansion pack).

- As mentioned above, replay value is high. I still encounter new situations all the time.

- No need to have an individual sit out as an emcee due to an awesome mobile app that leads the round.

- Most importantly, does not seem to lead to interpersonal conflict the way Mafia tends to. Most likely due to shorts rounds and the fact that there's enough information to go off rather than pure speculation.

The reason is that difficulty of mathematics lies not in notation - it is in ideas and techniques. There is no doubt that a good modern UX complete with graphics, animation, and audio would facilitate understanding of the ideas, but, just as in programming, the need for textual notation cannot be overcome. Category Theory is an interesting example: while a lot of reasoning in it is done by "diagram chasing", if you look at a book on this theory, you will find more textual proofs and formulas than diagrams. Even more strikingly, same is true for topology, differential geometry etc.
Suppose you have an AI that generated some code for you, but it doesn't do exactly what you want. Now try to debug it...

what if programming wouldn't involve defining exact steps, but instead just roughly defining what we have and what we want and maybe giving a few hints, and having the computer generally do the right thing - wouldn't that be awesome?

I experience enough frustration with things like debugging generated code, ostensibly "smart" devices which seem to "have a mind of their own" (maybe that's the point, but it's not doing what I want), and getting Google's search engine to find exactly what I want with its pseudo-AI machine-learning algorithms doing completely inexplicable things with my queries, that I think "generally do the right thing" is not a good idea. Edge cases matter a lot.

I'm curious what you'd expect from such a book. There are some excellent books on CL in general and good libraries that provide a convenient layer over implementation specific things (e.g.: uiop or cl-fad). One usually does not think about a specific CL implementation when writing code - I'd even go as far as saying that targeting a specific implementation is usually a sign of bad coding style.
