It sure would be nice if the author did that, but crypto is a non-trivial amount of work to get right.

It's easy to look at one small part of a codebase and say "this is wrong", but to get it right you have to learn large chunks of the code. Be aware what level of work you are shoving onto the author in your comment.
> Vulkan is an NVIDIA gpu api

Your statement couldnʼt have been more misleading. Vulkan is a cross{vendor,platform} API, based on AMD Mantle.
Interestingly, when I first saw this project I thought it would be useful to me for exactly this kind of small configuration files describing jobs. I was not considering merging all config files together though. Maybe calling this a DB is misleading as it suggest having a single big file, which indeed I would not recommend.

Sure, now that people mentioned them. That's why I said "can't associate .... of the top of my head". But that's not the point. The parent implied that there is something that's 2 liters that all Americans know, and I was curious as to what that is, because I, despite living in a metric country, couldn't think of anything.

I don't know what your project is, but Etcd is excellent for this sort of thing if your project is distributed and you need resilience, and you can live with the external dependency on its daemons.

Etcd is also a hierarchical database, but you can use it like a robust distributed file system. A big benefit you get is liveness; you can respond dynamically to config changes by watching for change events.

I know someone who is an Apple Tech certified consultant (don't know the exact wording but he's listed at Apple or something like that). Anyway he was telling me about some rich clients, people that pay him to come and do things as simple updating the software (you know a menu option) and it sounded to me like a version of keeping someone who is lonely and giving them a chance to talk to someone more than anything. (Not discounting some (especially older) people's fear of tech which is real, but the time he would take wasn't exactly 'get in and get out as quickly as possible'). Plus he is a super friendly nice guy (who really talks to much) so I kind of got the impression that was actually a benefit to his clients.

Good point. I thought about this a bit more and, to be honest, I read very few academics. Not intentionally, but it worked out that way.

Strangely, some of the smarter, best informed people I read are just regular people without any journalistic or academic qualifications in the field they write on.

On second thought, maybe that's not as strange as it seems.

The problems he talks about have noticeable effects on task completion time and estimate error. In my experience, estimation error is not normally distributed. For most tasks, estimation error is small, but perhaps one in ten estimates are off by an order of magnitude.

It's usually a single bug or feature which blows the iteration. Though, by consuming so much time, it may cause other tasks to spill too.

If you aim to estimate most tasks accurately, the overall project will probably be underestimated. Outliers consume a significant portion of the overall project time.
This isn't about "fault," this is about contracts.

One of the reasons I have a contract with a bank, and that I pay the overhead of having the money sit in a savings account instead of growing at market rate, is that they will protect my money from fraud. If the bank is looking into finding ways not to protect me, I'll look into ways not to keep my money with the bank but instead invest it at market rate. That's all.
Estimating software schedules is easy. Just gauge a ballpark figure of what it might take if everything went nice and smooth, you had no distractions nor surprises, and then multiply by pi.

I think that partly explains why non-American airlines use miles over kilometers for frequent flyer rewards program.

A program denominated in kilometers would have to undergo conversion to miles if being deposited into a US account holder. On top of that, benefit levels would be different--a Star Alliance Gold level will be 50,000mi or 80467.2km.

However, ANA Mileage Club has a better ring to it than ANA Kilometerage Club.

Interestingly, most airlines are now moving away from miles in rewards programs and moving into the Unit of Measurement that counts the most: revenue.

TL,DR : Guido.

When Guido Van Rossum will tell Python 2.7 is now PyPy or when he will say "we don't support python2 anymore", then pypy will become the python2 de facto standard.
It was a combination of:

1) The language was created by a researcher (Guido Van Rossum) at a research facility in the Netherlands [1]

2) Network effect - as more machine learning researchers and engineers in academia used it, the need for a language that could integrate with FORTRAN with similar performance came about, which lead to NumPy, SciPy, etc.

3) The language itself is pretty simple to grasp. There's multiple ways in Ruby itself to do something, while in Python there's at most one way to do something. Anecdotal - a lot of researchers I've worked with care more about the usability and ease of adoption of a language, compared to the expressivity.

That's one possible view. Another one is that, as a matter of contract, I am letting the bank profit from the growth of my money in exchange for protecting me from fraud, no matter who was defrauded.

Essentially it's insurance. If someone else crashes into me, and it's their fault, their insurance pays. That's why they're insured.
Maybe machine learning could help identify differences in accepted definitions of words and different assumptions. This came up in another thread recently, but I'll restate the idea here: maybe an n-dimensional vector can be assigned to each assumption or each individual's understanding of a word, and then nearby vectors compared to see where different groups have similar ideas but use different words to describe them (or vice versa).

The word "faith", for example, probably means something completely different to a scientist who has "faith" (confidence) in a particular experimental method, versus a religious person who has "faith" (belief/hope) in God, versus a parent who has "faith" (trust) in a child.

A tool for discussion could help elucidate these differences in usage and bridge the linguistic gap that can form between groups.

But don't quantum measurements appear only to our (classical) perception? If someone (probably not in our Universe i.e. someone who doesn't interact with our Universe in any physical way) hypothetically able to write down the full Hamiltonian of our Universe (assuming that quantum gravity theory exists, so that is possible) then there is no external to this Hamiltonian "measurement devices", so wavefunction of the Universe does not collapse and the time evolution of Universe is reversable as soon as you can just multiply time to -1 in evolution operator.

But I don't understand why do they talk about time reversability of physical systems and don't mention CPT symmetry[1]? Standard model is not actually time symmetrical, but you one should also reverse charge and reflect spatial coordinates to obtain symmetry after time reversal because there are violations of CP symmetry [2].

Actually, this might be an example of the "healthy user" bias in observational studies.[1] Although epidemiologists do try hard to include all of the relevant variables in their analyses, there are likely unidentified individual differences (perhaps including personality and lifestyle) that distinguish people with better health outcomes.

That's why double-blind, randomized, controlled trials provide more compelling evidence of cause and effect.

I have read all of the thread, though not in order, and while from a religious perspective (as a former extremely devout believer) I can see how describing religion as irrational would feel like an attack, from a conversational perspective it can be incredibly frustrating to have to couch every example in softening language to avoid offending someone, and can thus see why the original comment was not so couched.

So back to the point of creating tools for productive discussion, is there some solution to the problem that will allow us to communicate ideas without the offense and without the verbosity?
It's important to understand that practicing researchers are targeting each other as the audience, and not laypeople. It's simply not the scientist's job to inform or entertain you when they work in that mode. Some choose to do popular writing as well - Carl Sagan is a very successful example. But not all, and that's OK.

Most excellent scientists are busy doing useful things other than popular blogs and magazine articles. Same for judges, doctors, engineers and other busy, specialized professionals.
I know absolutely nothing about the people that run AirBnB, but based on those ads my brain instantly imagined a small group of twentysomethings from rich families who'd never worked a day in their life prior to getting out of college, who have yet to mature intellectually or otherwise past the point of thinking that being really snotty and sarcastic and dismissive of their opponents is an effective form of argumentation, whose entire worldview is circumscribed by whatever bubble of funemployed trust fund hipster kids they socialize with and have always socialized with, but who somehow fell backwards into a good idea and accidentally ended up with some VC money and just enough competent friends/employees/business partners to get the thing off the ground, but still have no idea what they're doing and are just coasting from the momentum of a great idea and good-enough execution so far.

Again, I have no idea what these people are actually like, but that's the mental image of the company that those ads (and other company statements and actions over the years) conjure up for me. If that's the intent of their marketing, then mission accomplished I guess, but I've got to think there are better messages they could be putting out there to help their cause.

> While these errors may appear minor to some, confusing an opinion piece with research is likely to seem disturbing, if not egregious, to those in the scientific community.

I also prefer to consider science as agnostic since it chooses to focus its efforts on physical things like matter and energy.
