"a competent meat teacher is better than a competent silicon one"

... for now, and even then I'm not so sure.

Edit: And what about a competent teacher that records one lesson and broadcasts it to millions?
Why is it embarrassing?
Give us time, sheesh. We only figured out how to write a few thousand years ago. If we've been here for a billion years and we still haven't gone anywhere, then you may complain.
This is feels somewhat similar to Swift's playground.

I think every language should have something like this. Now that we've been compiling and highlighting errors in real time for such a long time, it only makes sense to do the same at run time and provide real time visualization of the program in action.

This is because the autodialer won't assign an agent to your call unless it detects you picking up and speaking. At least, that is how it worked at my old call center, thank the lords I don't work there any more.

The bulk dialer would dial hundreds of numbers per minute, but we would only have 5-10 agents per shift sitting in the queue for outbound calls (most hated shift at the call center), so not worth it to have them all sitting there on the line while it's ringing.

That time period where it's dead air is the autodialer routing your call to an agent.

Same reason you get halfway through or cutoff voicemails from robocalls... they can't tell the difference between a voicemail and you talking so the robomessage starts playing before the voicemail takes the message.

Wildfire ransomware code cracked: Victims can now unlock encrypted files – free
I mostly agree, but until now I just created private helper methods and went on with my life. If there are many of them, I put them into a #region. There are alot of cases where such helpers can be used from two separate locations and they also increase discoverability for other devs.

If you really wanted to, wasn't it already possible to create anonymous delegates/lambdas locally? The only improvement I see with local named methods are readable stacktraces.I have to admit, the mangled names are a major headache for me (and the stacktraces starting at lamda invocations, missing the 'original' stacktrace. I'm looking at you Parallel.Foreach!)
For knowledge to be transferred from one group to another, all it takes is one person. For genetic markers to change it would need at least two, in good health and enough intermingling for it to be evident.

It's still not strong enough.
I think this is actually a flaw in many such challenges.

I hit questions where I would say "I would do that in production in Erlang, or C", but then the only metric you are judged on is time, and suddenly I'm writing Ruby again.

I think that's fine when the challenge is scoped as "who can solve this challenge?", but there are "job application" type challenges with tight timers where this is just the wrong approach. It's similar to why you never write tests in such environments, once you get a tick on the challenge.
Strangely enough, I got this all off Wikipedia. Project Ultra was pretty fascinating.
I think for people in the free software community it was a bit more obvious. Before the internet became ubiquitous we already had random professionals creating world class software for free. For me, the biggest surprise is actually the opposite. I'm amazed at how well the music industry has managed to maintain a grasp on the popular music industry even though the tools to create and distribute music are essentially free. Although, I think it can't last to be honest. Already I watch more Youtube than TV and I don't think I'm alone (though admittedly I don't watch much of either).
Electron is potentially a game changing product but very little thought has been given to a smooth on boarding process.

I have had very little problems with the actual coding part, but installing, especially on Windows, and updating for new versions is voodoo. Every time I think I have it all figured out it breaks.
The World's Largest Study on SaaS Churn – Part 1
Well, most self-service analysts I met, mixed statistical correllations with causation quite blindly. One needs to have a plenty of common sense before making judgements about the data. Otherwise dynamics of floods of Danuba will be considered cause of change in quantity of students in Budapest, or vice versa.
>This is what's done every year at the AI conferences. No need for a new voting system.

Not really. Academia rarely ranks things important to the application (aka industry) of a field of study. An efficiency improvement that completely changes the economics of something would likely be rejected from an academic conference for being 'incremental'. Similarly, 'novel' work is much more highly rewarded in these conferences than improvements to existing techniques, experiment replications, or negative results, all of which are more important to industry.

Bibliometrics are garbage and represent little more than a popularity contest (and what is controversial). It's basically like if you took up votes and down votes on reddit and just had them both increment a single score. If they were worth anything, there wouldn't be such a thing as review papers that highlight important developments.
Although F# manages to convert all those TryGetXXX methods into tuple-returning transparently, so it can be done. Just off the top of my head, you could probably write an extension method to wrap the original into the new format pretty easily.

Then the H1B will only be used by tech companies, which is also not in the spirit of the program. If there are phenomenal marine biologist, who generally do not make 120k, they should be able to use the program.

Very glad to see tuples and pattern matching also. But allowing the tuples to be structs with mutable public fields seems off. Once a tuple is constructed it shouldn't be mutable IMO, unless I'm missing some important use cases?

Big pharmas don't set the price for drugs based on their cost. They base the price on what people on different regions can pay, thus maximizing their profit. Cost is not a variable for the price, how much money people have in that sector is really the basis of it.
It does seem silly, considering that F# already uses _ as a "don't care" wildcard, and it's a pretty common pattern already in C# lambda-heavy code to use the underscore for the same idea.
Yep. This is one option for me, but I need to implement server side authorisation to create calendars on the fly. I am hoping to avoid that step with a SaaS provider, if one exists.
No, it's not "a completely different case". It's going to come down to (surprise!) genetic testing. My comment specifically addresses a possible scenario when the Olympic commission can't identify whether or not someone has had outside assistance in their performance. Just like they did here, I'm guessing they'll err on the side of caution and forbid that person from competing.
VB.net development is not that different from VB6. It is a way more sophisticated language and therefore can do more complex things. But the basic things take pretty much the same syntax than they were in VB6.

Book consciousness
In terms of die area, even for processors that implement the x86 instruction set, the instruction decode engine is smaller than the out-of-order execution logic (register renaming and the retire queue are quite expensive in space). The branch predictor is larger than both if you have dynamic branch prediction (i.e., if you want a branch predictor that works). Load/store units pretty much dwarf any other execution unit (turns out paging isn't cheap in die area), particularly when you include the L1 cache.

Here's an example of die area: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5321/9104546631_4c7a4a023b_o.j...
I don't think it's the best picture, but it's surprisingly hard to find these for recent x86 processors.

If you want to stick more cores on a single die, you have to shrink the size of a core. And looking at die space, the real big wins are the caches, out-of-order execution, and branch predictors--losing all of which will kill your IPC. The other problem with high core counts is memory bandwidth. The instruction fetch bandwidth alone on 1024 cores runs to GB/s. Cache coherency traffic and core communication traffic could likely suck up the rest of the bandwidth.

Proposing to rip out most of the instructions leaves you with the problem that you're ripping out hardware-accelerated instructions, and you have nothing to compensate for the lost speed. You can't increase clock frequencies (power will kill you); you can't increase core counts (the memory bandwidth is insufficient, not to mention Amdahl's law).

I moved from SF to Midtown in Sacramento. I personally really like it. Its probably the most affordable urban area in California. Its not as dense as SF and has nowhere near the tech jobs but its a very interesting enjoyable place in its own right. Great people, food, beer scene and vibe. Might be a place worth looking into.

Does this include the state of the network in its already-trained state? It looks like we need to train it with the $6000 dataset if we want to get good results like those mentioned. Is it possible for its state to be saved to disk and restored (so we don't all need a copy of the dataset)?
Yes, and because of the lack of record and union types in C#, it's (probably) nigh-impossible to pull off exhaustive pattern matching. However, this is still pattern matching - you can define tuple patterns which decompose the data, much like you can in F#; just with some different syntax.

I agree with you that exhaustiveness is incredibly important, and I really hope that it can be done in C# some day. However, record and union types are also a piece of this puzzle.

ISO-serialized datetimes are the only serialized datetimes. At least if you want to avoid painfulness. Similarly, UTC is good. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that, for my own sanity, datetimes should be localized and formatted at the last possible instant, just before a human has to see them, and kept in a consistent, canonical form at all other times.

The author quotes numerous original sources from the time that commented on the 'gay aspect' of macaronis.

They make the argument that this commentary, in particular caricatures, were a driving force behind the macaroni's change in perception in the public eye.

Perhaps these caricatures were motivated by a city vs country thing, but seeing as there were caricatures created in the cities this seems unlikely.

English commentators... variously referred to macaronis as "that doubtful gender," "hermaphrodites," and "amphibious creatures."

One song described a macaroni as thus: "His taper waist, so strait and long, / His spindle shanks, like pitchfork prong, / To what sex does the thing belong? / ’Tis call’d a Macaroni."

The Oxford Magazine similarly described the macaroni as not belonging to the gender binary: "There is indeed a kind of animal, neither male, nor female, a thing of neuter gender, lately started up among us. It is called a Macaroni. It talks without meaning, it smiles without pleasure, it eats without appetite, it rides without exercise, it wenches without passion."

in the early 1770s, Mary Darly, a cartoonist by trade, devoted so much energy to caricaturing macaronis that her store in London became known as "The Macaroni Print Shop." Darly’s ridicule of macaronis became the first widespread use of the caricature as a means of social commentary.

I can't speak for Windows but on both OSX and Linux, upgrading Electron versions is as simple as upgrading the version number of the `electron-prebuilt` dependency of your project and running `npm update`. You can also use the `npm-check-updates` package to upgrade to the latest version automatically.
Having done a lot of python recently, this looks great (and familiar).

But some things feel a little bit rushed:

- In the example "(o is int i || (o is string s && int.TryParse(s, out i))": When reading this statement as a human, o is obviously not an int when it comes down to the TryParse function. But if the 1st part was removed, the 2nd part wouldn't be valid either. I know this is technically how declarations work and I don't have an idea, if there is a better solution for this, but it feels weird.

- The new features of the case statement are nice but the old syntax with the mandatory break is probably worth getting rid of. Especially since all cases share a scope, adding/removing cases is prone to errors. I'd love to see a solution similar to "catch".

- The Deconstruct method is introduced as a "magic name". No interface, no override, nothing... Even the return type is "void". Why not use something like "public out Point(...)" to keep it similar in fashion to the constructor. Other options may be something with "this" (like indexing) or "operator".
> Debiasing certainly gives the AI a understanding of the world than the original (biased) language dataset, but it's not necessarily less complete - or less accurate.

If you're translating from an ungendered language and have to choose, the only way you're going to get anything sensible is from context and common usage. Which is going to choose "she is a nurse" because an algorithm that can deduce that fathers are most likely male can also deduce that nurses are most likely female. But without that you get bad translations like "she is a father" and "he is a fine ship" and "John is her own person."

Inuit language is a subset of Eskimo-Aleut language. Yup'ik language and Aleut language are also subsets of Eskimo-Aleut language. I was unable to find any evidence that Yup'ik or Aleut people traditionally built snow houses. I can't rule out that some of them did, but it has no relevance to the English word "igloo", which is derived from the Inuit language subset of Eskimo-Aleut, not the Yup'ik language or Aleut language subsets of Eskimo-Aleut.
> Can you imagine telling someone 15 years ago that the Web would have a free repository of all human knowledge

Wikipedia is far, far short of the total of 'all human knowledge'. It's probably a good primer for the type of information that consitutes such knowledge but it's barely skin-deep.

Even the British Library, for all its faults, holds magnitudes more information; it adds three million items every year, which is half as many as Wikipedia has total articles.

If you could run a drug development company like you do a start-up, then you could probably speed up drug development 1000x fold. Of course, still need to have some safety mechanisms in place to prevent serious injury/death, but there is a gigantic room for improvement that will benefit humankind.
Generally, no, at least with nominal typing.
It's a fair point. I often wonder what would have happened without the potential BSD lawsuits hanging over everything. I remember at the time being torn between installing Linux on my box or BSD. When mmap was finally implemented on Linux, I decided (rather unhappily IIRC) to go with it thinking it was the "safer" choice.

One thing to keep in mind, though, wrt OpenBSD is that by the time it arrived on the scene, Linux was well and truly established. The better comparison is NetBSD, which showed up in 1993, but even then Linux was in the fabled 0.99 version (and rapidly running out of letters). It was really Linus's actions before that time that cemented Linux as a legitimate contender -- he had attracted a really large number of very talented programmers. NetBSD, if memory serves, was suffering from a fair amount of internal infighting which eventually ended up with Theo de Raadt being ousted.
Drinking coffee was one thing, but visiting a coffee-house was perhaps another. The term brings to mind a very different environment even just by adding the context that the coffee-house exists in modern-day Amsterdam; I can't guess what the social milieu of a coffee-house would be in 1700s Britain.
Running unregulated clinical trials in impoverished nations is demonized and illegal when done by big pharma, but championed when done by some little company "trying to make a difference". I like the ideal but so much of this seems like marketing.

Granted, motivation makes a big difference here. However it's often hard to tell profit motive from innate motive, especially in a legal context. What starts off as innate can quickly become profit-oriented (or even worse "I told you so"-oriented) behind closed doors when stuff hits the fan.

> we started looking at more difficult datasets where reading the entire document is necessary to produce good summaries

Was hoping to get rather some more insights on this.

Because when looking at the examples given, I wonder if we really need machine learning to summarize single sentences? Just by cutting all adjectives, replacing words by abbreviations and multiple words by potential category terms, we should face similar results. Maybe it's just a start or did I miss anything?
Why do UDP packets get dropped?
Formalism aside, it seems like it's most useful in practice to think of type as defining what can be done with a value. The sidesteps the idea of type being something permanent and inherent to a value. In practice, the type might be metadata discoverable and actionable at run-time, it might be something that exists at compile-time to determine correctness of a program (based on how values are used), or both.

Does this point of view leave out anything crucial?

I read lots of people complaining about medium-to-large scale Python projects, due to lack of static typing. Aren't people using reflection and dynamic in C#? As soon as the code touches such run-time features, the testing at run-time is essential.

Real Estate – The Velocity of Melbourne Florida Homes for Sale
This lesson is actually modified through Robert Kiyosaki's guide, "Who Required My personal Money? Inch I strongly motivate traders to read this particular book. He writes that the Velocity of Money is the one good reason why wealthy obtains richer and the typical investor dangers dropping everything. To be sure. Through Robert's guide, he or she writes "As an expert Melbourne Florida homes for sale, I wish to...

1. Commit my personal money into an asset.

2. Have a refund.

3. Maintain control of the asset.

4. Move my cash into a new asset.

5. Get my money back.

6. Repeat the process."

After I teach my homes purchasing homes investment technique, I am instructing Robert's speed of cash idea. I just read Robert's guide in the summer of August 2005. Little-known to me, I had been currently teaching the speed of cash and did not really understand it. Fortunately, I was already utilizing it with my trading.

> Anything anyone would write for free would be garbage.

I think you would need to clarify to the person that there are just as many volunteer editors as there are volunteer writers. And then, perhaps, take them through a thought-experiment where fifty people are, in parallel, handed a copy of something and asked to mark it up for spelling and grammar errors. Even if they're all amateurs, the union of their annotations is likely to asymptotically approach (or even exceed) the results of a professional editor. Copyediting is actually uniquely suited for this sort of thing; it's, as they say, an embarrassingly parallel problem.

(Structural and content editing not-so-much, and Wikipedia indeed has deficits in those areas.)
