Fiction, because it is so funny:

* Good Omens, by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman [1]

I wish Pratchett and Gaiman had written more books together.

I agree. In the case of fast moving policy debates, open analytical code is also important.

There are also situations when government agencies like the Congressional Budget Office, the Joint Committee on Taxation, and many many others use private data sources like tax return data. In these cases, I think they should be required to release the analytical source code as well as data dictionaries that allow others to create dummy or synthesic data. They should also release detailed summary statistics when possible-- after taking differential privacy concerns into account.
This is true, however I think its safe to say that most of his work was from primary sources, he kept extensive journals during the period and was also lucky enough to talk to several generals of OKW and get access to their journals. Not to mention that he also gained access to the Nuremberg trial records and German records (very well documented) after the war. Well worth the read.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It's about life. Has become 2 recipients' favorite book so far.
As gaming increasingly tends to happen on consoles and mobile devices, the demands placed on general purpose machines is reduced.
It depends. The star IS given to the restaurant, however they do consider how big the chef's influence is. Many restaurants lose a star or two when the chef leaves, and many don't.

In this particular case, if he were to sell the stall I'm sure it would lose the star. On the other hand, if he passes it on to a child or a protégé, the stall might keep the star.

Yes, but what are the odds?

It'd be an awful lot more believable-when-seen if we didn't have a special built-in bias mechanism whose function is to create exactly that situation.
And yet here we are at the peak of wealth disparity because of exactly this happening.

Relying on abstract economic theories about market efficiency is stupid when you're literally watching this happen all around us.
If I have to pick just one, it would be "How to survive without a salary" by Charles Long. In short, it helped me escape the American Rat Race. Most of my life, I was middle class, but I side stepped the typical thing of running faster to stay in place. The poverty I have suffered in recent years would have been worse without the mental models it provides me.
> Peter Roberts, a former Royal Navy warfare officer who retired last year after 23 years’ service, said the report contained a number of basic factual errors, from McNeilly’s use of jargon to the safe diving level for submarines.

> “Most of his claims about on board the submarines are factually incorrect and there’s a degree of sensationalism. For that reason I can’t place too much weight on it,” he said.

Not sure how that's relevant. It's pretty clear the proposal is "require people to do the handiwork of their community in order to receive a basic income."
I will agree that retractions are a mark of honesty on some of the actors involved in "Science". What they are not is the "sign of contradiction" of catholic faith. Honesty is not enough to claim a priesthood of the fashion he wants.

This becomes even more complicated as we leave the holy sciences of physics, chemistry and biology. We are told that the popperian method of posing falsifiable hypotheses is the only way "forward" and we attempt to apply it to the poorly defined questions of areas such as cognitive psychology -- and then become startled or blame p-values when we find ourselves in the middle of a replicability crisis where any given paper may as well be false.

Because physics has such a hug on its unyielding realities, we assume homogeneous "Science" is able to claim an "objective", extra-social -- and ironically unverifiable, as we can't arrive at right answers from wrong questions -- command of "knowledge". But that's not a true view of the real world, unyielding as it is to our space-age dreams.
What I don't get is, if we're so close to this becoming a reality, why isn't the lower hanging fruit of train/locomotive automation already here?

That seems to be an order of magnitude simpler issue to solve, and yet we don't seem to be there yet. Granted, forms of automation have penetrated that industry - deadmans switches, automated signalling and such. But there's still a human at the helm of every freight loco.

Smaller scale urban light rail deployments seem to have got close to full automation, presumably due to being able to embed all the necessary elements into the end-to-end installation of the system (signalling, stock, cameras/sensors etc).

How can the kind of full automation that would put truck drivers out of work, arrive before the kind that would put train drivers out of work?
That's a good point. The article does mention that its latest release was over a year ago, which isn't bad:

"The Retina MacBook Pro is 442 days into its current cycle, despite refreshes coming every 268 days on average in the past."
The "Analysis of Lead Gender and Box Office" project put a smile in my face because it looks like so much fun- that is something that I would like to know how to do in the coming months. Thank you for open sourcing the notebooks and the recommendation to practice then demo on real data.
The most: Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. Think I've bought almost a dozen copies over the years. Although that book wasn't really a gift, more a loan I never got back.

I'm not sure if this is "correct" but "Eats, shoots & leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation"[1] is a fun read on an adjacent topic. It too gets berated by some but I enjoyed it and learned a thing or two.

Bryson has a wonderful way of dealing with academic subjects that most would find boring and making them both interesting and approachable. I recommend this book as well.
He really doesn't have the rhetorical flair. Hitler was a monster, but that poem about mothers was very pretty. Trump is charismatic, but not really at that level.
Rather than try to diff two DOM trees and optimize reconciliation, why not use one-way data binding and update exactly what has changed, with 0 reconciliation cost?

If all of your rendered HTML corresponds 1:1 with the underlying data model, there's no particular advantage to the declarative approach used by React.

However, once you start to have relationships in the underlying data, so DOM events in one place can affect the desired DOM content somewhere else, simple one-way data binding is not sufficient.

For example, suppose we have an HTML table that needs to be rendered from some underlying data structure in our JS. How do you do that with simple one-way data binding -- what are you binding to what, exactly? If you're managing the HTML directly, you need to allow for things like rows being added or removed, not just updating the content of an individual cell.

Now suppose that table also allows you to sort by different columns and filter so only certain rows are shown. Rendering the correct HTML now requires keeping track of the underlying data model and all of the UI-related state, with the actual rows to be shown affected by several different factors.

Now suppose the table is going to have many rows, and pagination is required in the markup and controls.

You certainly can handle all of the related events manually, but in order to keep the rendered HTML correct you now need to write code that understands each possible change in the underlying data and UI in every possible context, and the combinatorics can get quite unpleasant here.

The alternative that declarative rendering tools like React offer is that you can specify what your rendered table should look like in absolute terms, using whatever inputs need to be considered but ignoring the existing state of the DOM. You still need to consider however many factors you have that affect the rendering, which might still be somewhat complicated in a case like this, but at least you only need to consider them from a single, neutral starting point, not relative to every possible starting point.
Is there anyone in the US who actually thinks they get good medical care without being wealthy?

It's only ignorance that would make a US citizen think that it's better than the rest of the world, except third world countries.

Cancer drugs are priced at the maximum cost that the US health system will bear.

You can thank your politicians for being in the pocket of the drug companies.
It happens every time. Internet demography has a "liberal/democrat" bias and, every election cycle they'll forget every criticism they might've had because "The others are worse"and "Would you rather have Sarah Palin ordering drone strikes?"

It's tribalism all the way down and it shows when the same group of people that condemned Bush's actions refuse to condemn them or rationalize them when it's Obama's doing.

I'm very skeptical of the whole system, to say the least.
Yup! QT. Electron might be fast enough for graph view, I don't know, we'd have to test it. The good news is that the core is completely separable from the interface so we could re-architect the GUI if needed.
The self-documenting nature of statically typed programs is something that critics often miss. Making a contribution to an existing codebase is far easier when it is statically typed. You can very easily understand what you ought to do, because the constraints of the type system help you figure out exactly what things are, what arguments you can pass to a method, how the other programmers used the types, etc.

In contrast, contributing to an existing codebase in PHP or Rails is much harder. Nothing will stop you from sending the wrong arguments to a method, or adding members to classes that should not be modified, or even simply refactoring and forgetting to change all of the usages of the types and methods you modified.
Yeah. I made a ruby gem a while back that did this, but with rdoc strings instead ( I hated docs getting out if line with functionality) called "contraction". The code isn't the greatest, and I would probably do things a bit different now, but it worked. More railsy , for sure, but I don't know if that actually made it better...
That's my experience working closer to research teams in general. Mostly papers to be published, long philosophical meetings and very really code.

Not saykng it's bad, obviously some minds are fit for that. But it might contribute more to burn out if seeing something in action is what you're really in need of (going back to OP's question).
If people are confused about why the oblique cases are all marked on the noun, which is usually not true for accusative and dative singular, "adjectives used as nouns" have weak adjective inflections (for example "für den Angeklagten" 'for the accused', "mit dieser Bekannten" 'with this (female) friend'); my source for this rule and the examples is the Collins German Concise Dictionary 4th ed., pp. 148-9.

In short, a UBI will make us all poorer because people will refuse to provide the things that others actually want, and instead will engage in hobbies that provide little value to the world?

Your phrasing suggests you favor a UBI, yet your actual claims echo mine (and I'm a UBI opponent). I'm intrigued.

People assume that postmodernism is an attempt by the left to weaponize rhetoric for their own ends. But the right has already weaponized rhetoric. Postmodernism is more like "defense against the dark arts". Yes, much of the work of e.g. Derrida sounds like long-form trolling, because it is. It's a form of culture jamming to disrupt the cognitive processes by which we accept things as "truth" or "reality".

Homotopy Type Theory:
Univalent Foundations of Mathematics

It's a book I wish everyone would read, particularly everyone in a public office and the media. It's a great book for friends with kids under 6 or so. If you find the tactics in this book reprehensible and vile, it's even more important that you read it so you are not taken in by them. People do these things because they work. Several scifi books have also been gifted to friends, mostly Asimov. Stopped smoking six years ago and haven't had the desire to start again since. It feels great.
Having met with some of the "Science and Technology Studies" students and floored by the ignorance of basic technical facts by some of the people they quoted to be correct, I believe this postmodernist trend arose out of post-cold war technological superiority.

With Science and Technology no longer needed to fight against a powerful enemy, it was easy to devalue it. However times are changing.

A society can only ignore science and facts in favor of meaningless word salad as long as their security does not depends on it.
Funnily enough, same here with Ender's Game (not as many copies though)
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
It's been sad to see them neglecting their pro software and making poor decisions in those departments (see Final Cut Pro community). I've started to look to other companies that are wholly focused on creating software for creative industries where I know they will continue to grow and nurture their products.

The bigger issue I have is with the lack of attention to hardware and core OS issues. I'm not sure if they are just distracted building the new iCar or what, but all I want for them to do is to ship a reliable version of OS X (like they have historically) and to ship solid hardware that isn't 3+ years old. The other options (PC, Linux) are not viable alternatives yet for creative industries (in my opinion).
from the other comments you know reasons why they most likely won't debrief you. Occasionally you'll get honest and good feedback, related to a certain skillset missing. I mean if you wanted to try ahead of time, if they ask for an interview, maybe only agree with it if they transparent about XYZ for you. Just keep in mind that not getting a job is always a little ego damage and your ego will likely be seeking some comfort. The best comfort after those losses would be hitting the gym and moving on. Let your endorphins and physical training and progression lead the way. In case you were wondering, alcohol doesn't help and hurts worse in this process.
That's what I expected: even a letter to your sons is focused on how to treat women and at best, focused on equal treatment.

The real letter from the mother I would have loved to read is "stay away from this type of woman" or "if a woman does X, she is someone you can build a life with". Just like this father did for his daughter.
You know, I've had Mac's that well...I have no idea when they'll die. They're all still going. My Apple IIlc is in fact still kicking. I have a 2007 MBP that runs like a champ (well, swapped in a SSD, but other than that...). The OS might have some features that make it tough for bleeding edge developers...but you know, for the most part people need those features (security, etc.). The Dell and Sony laptops I've had just don't hold up to constant use. Lenovo on the other hand was a different story. I loved their keyboards and the build quality is quite good, equivalent to Apple. Style though, until recently hasn't quite been up to the fruit standards.
Wait, what? Are you sure you typed the right title?

As far as I know, airplane autopilots are somewhat similar to Tesla's system. They can keep your airplane at a certain airspeed, and keep your airplane in a certain "lane". You are responsible for telling the autopilot which airspeed/direction to keep.

We offer a quiet and comfortable working environment, casual dress code, and little red tape. We often play foosball at lunch time and there is also a swimming pool, if you are keen. The office is a walking distance to the Helensvale train station, shops and the library.

If you are interested, please complete the following task: http://bit.ly/2a5HP6a
In many of the places where these truckers live, that's solidly middle-class wages, also. Costs are significantly, significantly cheaper when a good single-family home costs 80-100k.

NO NO NO. This is a made up farce and does NOTHING for anyone but try to create 'victims' where they wouldn't exist. Microaggressions, coded language, these ridiculous terms come from a particular subset of sociologists who frankly don't deserve to be employed much less published. There's no science behind it, there's no benefit to it, and perpetuating it is causing the problems.

You're completely right on that the generalization of science as an objective process onto itself is unfounded at best and dangerous as worst, but isn't that a sign of growing pains in science? As science progresses, both in the easily quantifiable and more abstract fields, we should expect an eventual progression towards a further, better measures for fields such as cognitive psychology. It took physics hundreds of years to be verifiable on a large degree, and we shouldn't hold relatively newer fields to the same standard, and scientist have to start somewhere. Unto that goal, isn't it more dangerous to stifle and stall newer fields because they're experiencing growing pains?
I like how you call Washington D.C. a "town". That's a very modest description of the capital of the world's only superpower. :P

Its batch DOM writes of virtual DOM diffs ends up being a lot faster than previous SPA development models which can be further optimized with Pure Renderer.

Sorry, but that isn't necessarily so. React is a lot faster than many of the other front-end frameworks, but that's because most front-end frameworks are horribly, horribly slow. However, all that rerendering and DOM diffing isn't free, and React can easily still be much slower than applying manual DOM updates if you have the patience and accuracy to write the code to do them, even if you use pure renderers and write shouldComponentUpdate everywhere.
