The problem with this line of reasoning is that it implies the business exists to serve the software. Unless you work at a tech-focused non-profit, the software actually exists to serve the business.
I feel a similar conflict between nostalgia and pragmatism when I think about my experience with computer games. The constrast between the 1980s and the 2010s is pretty stark.

I remember lusting over old infocom game "feelies", like the ones that came with Deadlock and Infadel, which one could argue that due to the limitations of the textual medium were required, but they really did help me set the mood and made that world seem more alive.

Fast forward a decade, consider buying a Sierra game and pulling out a stack of 3.5 floppy disks for Kings Quest 5, or the QfG 1, remake had a very visceral excitement and feeling of heft.

I also remember studying a brick of a manual that came with falcon 3.0 like it was a school textbook or a great American novel.

I can't really imagine playing some of those games again, without some of those physical aspects, even in emulation they don't feel "right". And I wonder about the steam generation of gamers, that while convenient, doesn't really represent the same experience.

But now that I'm 40 and time is precious, im not saying I want to go back. But it's not quite the same.
Haven't delved deeply into this, but does it let you do everything programatically, including track/catch pokeymon?

I'm blind and would be interested in there being an accessible version, but it's just not ever going to get made. Seems like pokestops or whatever they're called could be represented as a plain native list, with Maps integration for voice guidance to the point if you don't already know where to go.

And it looks like the in-game action is fairly simple. Could probably render it with positional audio, which has been done in accessible games for at least a decade [1]. I wear a bone conduction headset, so I could listen to the audio cues overlaying my actual environment. It may be hard to model the catch mechanics, but I assume they aren't too much more complex than "center one thing on another and throw," which again audio games have pretty much figured out.

Seems like a fun project. Might give it a shot if I can stomach the risk of getting randomly shut down one day.

Edit: Speeling

One of the better ways to find these people using "unofficial" APIs is to look for VPN / hosting IPs. Running all of it on their home connection is very obvious so they'll branch out and let their bots run on servers 24x7. Based on the IP address and their account activity, I think it'll be a lot easier to catch botters or at least catch the big fish.
Is the audio quality good enough to make hundreds of millions of people switch from WhatsApp? They've been trying for a few years, and it hasn't happened. I think open sourcing the apps is probably a last gasp, and we're likely to see Wire shutting down soon. I've also heard they might be looking for a buyer.
Maybe the fact that this is in the (reasonably brief) Wikipedia entry on R2 is some evidence?

This is a nice overview. I've had mixed success in ports contributions. If the app you're packaging is "normal" then the whole thing is pretty reasonable. If the thing you're doing involves 7 bajillion CPAN packages and cross dependencies with something large and complex, you're going to have a bad time.

Overall, I'd say the process of making ports is slightly easier than packaging on some other platforms, except when you encounter exceptions--which can happen with software written with an expectation of Linux.

In a cosmology with Boltzmann brains, your memories of opening doors and not seeing random fluctuations are more likely to be part of a random fluctuation than to be caused by having actually experienced that.

Heck, your moment-to-moment experience of being in a room is extremely unlikely compared to just a temporary Boltzmann brain hallucination upon arrival. No need to go find a door, just wait 10 milliseconds for the "Oh wait actually I'm in space and about to die" sense information to start pouring in. Oh it didn't happen? That's just because you only arrived a millisecond ago and have fake memories of it not happening and are still in the hallucination phase... (repeat indefinitely).

This moment-by-moment thing is what makes Boltzmann brains such a paradox in terms of epistemology. In a cosmology with Boltzmann brains, most of the entities who've just made some conclusion about Boltzmann brains are themselves Boltzmann brains.
Except that we can't access reality completely. Assuming that there is a "true model" generating data is just that: an assumption with no real basis.

There are sensors designed for broadacre cropping that will pick weeds out of crop.[0]

As well as sensors that will pickup weeds from dirt.[1]

This would be in the middle of those two problems. There isn't a dense crop to pick the weeds out of, but it's probably slightly too dense to just pick them up from the dirt.

If we were devising a government (or any other system) it would be productive to have consensus on some issues (who is the enemy) and not so on others (quantity of net redistribution).

Just as there exists P space and NP space it ought to be possible to categorize questions for which there exist right and wrong answers (universal absolutes), and then a separate space for 'spectrum' questions whose answers are a matter of degree contingent on the feedback from the environment.

Confusing these two types of questions when the answers are unknown is easy and can make you very wrong. I'll give a practical example that may be biased. Personally I believe moderate climatic change to be in the 2nd category* while biodiversity in the 1st category because a temperature can be ratcheted up or down (even if it took centuries or was expensive) whereas once a species is extinguished it is gone forever while the side affects are permanent. They are both serious problems but getting a category 1 question wrong makes the error baked in for the future.

You'll remember numerous occasions when the government tried to defy the laws of biology or physics and this never ends well. Something I believe most politicians do not comprehend is that not every 'policy question' belongs to category 2. Something I believe most scientists do not comprehend is that not every political question belongs to category 1.

> aside from the old idea that public reason leads to truth in political questions which by now seems rather silly).

A public debate could be seen as a method to factor in information from the world and limit the framing of the question so something can objectively be done.

Not so much leading to truth as increasing the likelihood of survival for the participants.

* Yes I'm aware temp change can cause extinction events, this is a toy example to illustrate the point.

The analogy breaks down in quite a few places. In addition to the ones you mentioned, there are no multiple implementations of Racket.

That said, there is a similarity (and contrast) with CL in that, as a relative novice, there is enough of a cohesive system that I can imagine writing software in Racket. With other schemes, I've had the distinct feeling of starting from ground zero. Outside Racket, Chicken comes the closest, but is still a long ways off.

Take my comments with a grain of salt; I'm a neophyte who has pretty minimal experience writing any dialect of lisp.

Dr Valter Longo. http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/longo/
This is so weird. I hear this all the time. At my place of employment, we all have the ssh keys into our EC2 instances, but no one configures them. Ever. Period. Those ssh keys are purely for either validating changes in a test environment (like to .ebextensions) or diagnosing production issues (why did Puma fall over this time? why isn't syslog output making it to loggly?).

Of course, we lean heavily on Elastic Beanstalk; autoscaling regularly kills old instances daily since we scale from 2 to 18 and back to 2 instances in a 24 hour period across about 9 microservices.

So, if this ssh into boxes and change things is common, it means people aren't doing auto-scaling? THAT is scary.

This Woman Sees 100 Times More Colors Than the Average Person
I think what John is saying is that people commonly use R^2 as measure of model fit where something like root mean squared error (RMSE) gives a better measure of model fit (by measuring the distance from the true model) depending on the model. Just using R^2 blindly for most tasks you would work on can lead to choosing an incorrect model.

I think the main take-away from the post is to better understand the correct measure for model fit for your specific data. For example, if you are forecasting a time series with stationary demand, mean average deviation might be the best measure of model fit, but it the case where there is seasonality with a trend, the RMSE would be a better measure [1].

More than that. It's 2x4 when cut wet, but shrinks to 1-1/2 x 3-1/2 when dry(er). Note that it will continue to grow and shrink over its life as humidity changes.

There's also the expectation that ports have all been vetted for security issues and the like. That's the tradeoff that ordinary users see -- not as many packages have been ported, but they're safer. I don't always think that this is true, but trying to abide by it makes porting a bit more difficult.

Fasting releases toxins into blood stream. If you eat junk food before fasting, it will cause headaches and other nasty stuff.

Better is to start slowly, eat vegetables / rice for a month, than start fasting.
Yeah GC has went through a few changes. Server vs desktop mode, new options like large object heap compaction and several other things I'm sure.

Although I've only spent a few weeks in an ortho rotation in med school, I think pretty good. Many implants are coated with silver to help prevent infections. I've never heard of such silver layers ever "peeling off" or somesuch, so it seems the silver/titanium mix is effective.
The best way to handle this is with account-specific API keys. Even that would just mean creating an account, and the only real benefit to that is that you could track the API key, and if it did "bot-like" things, ban it. That's not really a fix, just a barrier for entry, preventing poorly thought out bots from working.

I was most pleased the day I had a direct lesson that nostalgia = brain rot.

I remember using a Mac LC 475 all the time in 1995 and 1996, working on a student newspaper. I remembered it as having been just a startling joy to use; haunting in its ease of use.

Then I used Windows 95 with Office 97 for much of 1997.

Then in early 1998 I got in front of an LC 475 again. Holy crap, what is this clunky piece of shit.

Don’t Have Time to Read? Listen
Modern Face Recognition with Deep Learning
The author went through keto flu, which is a series uncomfortable adjustments your body makes as it transitions from glucose fuel to ketone fuel (ketosis). People who begin ketogenic diets know this well. Fasting feels very similar. The most acute symptom is often "brain fog", which manifests exactly how the author described.

Ketosis takes several days to begin while the body burns through its reserves of glycogen, at which point the symptoms begin, then lasts several days while basic adaptation takes place. Full adaptation to match one's athletic performance while glycogen fueled can take months.

The author didn't even mention the words ketosis nor ketones, so I have to imagine she went into this quite blindly. Once you've gone in and out of ketosis several times, you don't experience flu symptoms nearly as much and sometimes (me) not at all.

For most people a fast starts to feel magical after about day 5, where keto adaption has taken place and the mental habit and craving for food starts to subside. Obviously this will vary from person to person, so maybe the author didn't quite get far enough along to get out of the woods, so to speak.
> Asking a bank to do their job is not asking to be nannied

The only way this transaction could have been prevented is if the bank told the customer "you want to do X with your money but we aren't going to let you because we find it ill-advised". Not everybody wants that level of oversight and restriction.

You see blocking fraud as a bank's main job. There are times, however, when one can reasonably find facilitating transactions to be their main role. When I'm travelling, a constantly-declining debit card is more of a nuisance than the risk of having a thousand dollars pilfered from my checking account.

There's no way to do both risk management and transactional freedom perfectly, since the former means restricting the latter, even to the point of telling a customer what they can and cannot do with their money.

> a [bank's]...primary responsibility...is safeguarding money

As with everything, there are trade-offs. Absurdly put, a bank which refused to allow anyone to withdraw or transact could score splendidly in terms of "safeguarding money". They'd also be useless, because that's not a bank's only job.
Are you referring to a personal experience? The facts you're presenting appear to be randomly pulled and without any context or related reasoning.
The idea that Yahoo is covering for a government surveillance program is entertaining, but it hardly seems difficult to believe that they aren't actually deleting what they say they are deleting. Of course, keeping copies of everything forever in violation of their own policy is not exactly going to make law enforcement unhappy.

I suspect that yahoo and other companies haven't yet taken the issue of failing to delete data that should be deleted as seriously as that of losing data that shouldn't be deleted, but this has the potential to become a significant privacy issue.
We're in agreement there.

I describe that as a carb hangover.

In fact, if you're eating a regular Western diet and feel faint before lunch and sluggish after, you can appreciate to what degree you're chasing your blood sugar around.

Switching to a diet with more protein and vegetables, and maybe "slow carbs" ala Tim Ferriss, you can even those highs and lows out and not feel them any more.
Report: Verizon is buying Yahoo for $5B
Strange, I feel that by day 3, I'm fully switched over, and in fact I get a bit of a mental boost; I'm /definitely/ sharper on day 3+four, and then it tails off.

Mind you my typical fast starts on sunday after supper, and finished most fo the time on friday before supper. I do that so it doesn't impact too much the social life etc...

Overall I don't recommend short fast. I feel you need at least 3 days for it to be worth it, otherwise you get the pain (hunger on the first day) without a lot of the benefits.

But then again I only have my own experience on tap; most people I know think I'm bonkers to stop eating for most of a week ;-)
