Well it was my original work, that I spent a lot of time on. I found it terribly insulting that he blatantly ripped much of it off, AND that he couldn't at least back a single bit of it up. I guess you wouldn't mind if someone totally ripped off something you worked hard on and passed it off as their own? Totally cool, right?
Hmm,

So, the article notes that the Google translate of a challenging but not incomprehensible Spanish phrase hasn't improved in the four years the translator tested. I personally haven't noticed Facebook translate improve in any fashion over a similar period.

Yet I had heard of translation as one of the triumphs of recurrent neural networks. It may well be that such translations are doing better on some metric in some competitions yet that such formal improvements aren't palpable to humans yet. I have read previously things about translation now no longer needing language experts - which seems to say that perhaps automatic translation hasn't improved but merely gotten cheaper.

While this raises the "is this deep learning stuff hype?", I think AlphaGo shows that some deep learning stuff is pretty amazing. One might argue also that ConvNets have had the unambiguous triumphs which RNNs' triumph is a bit more ambiguous.

I'd be curious how folks who actually create this this technology would view progress of this sort.
The article you link to says that that curcumin can't cross the blood-brain barrier and the researchers had to "develop an atomizer to generate a curcumin aerosol" to deliver it intranasally. I too have read about the benefits of curcumin and try add turmeric to my meals whenever I remember but this article makes me question if it's actually reaching my brain.

Yes, you can enter time on the task panel using the timer, or you can enter time manually.

You can also enter time directly on the invoices.

Or you can drag a task that has time entries onto an invoice and the line items will be created automatically. Improving the docs is pretty high on my next steps list.
What are the alternatives? I think we can make an objective judgment on this tactic vs. any other?

"Over-reliance on unit testing"? I have a somewhat different read from the inquiry board report, which says it was a "systematic software design error." Yes, inadequate testing, and a belief the working code for Ariane 4 meant it was validated for Ariane 5 were certainly contributory, but I think it's unfair to single out an over-reliance on unit testing.

The board argues that there was a bias towards believing the software does not have an error. Thus, any out-of-range value is interpreted as a hardware error, which means the CPU should shut down.

There was a decision to not include Ariane 5 trajectory data in the SRI requirements and specification. Thus, while tests were rigorous at the equipment ("unit") level, and there were system tests, they didn't test that case. This is test design failure.

In addition, the board says "the review process was a contributory factor in the failure."

I can see how those can be aspects of "over-reliance on unit testing", but it doesn't explain, for example, how some of the variables from Ariane 4 were protected from overflow exceptions but others were not.

How Instagram Opened a Ruthless New Chapter in the Teen Photo Wars

I'm kind of skeptical about this alleged fallacy, where I have to admit that I'm not an economist. The usual formulations of it seem to be something crucial missing.

I've heard that many producers of goods deliberately introduce failure points, e.g. in electronics by using cheap solder or capacitors with a limited lifetime. Buttons also fail way too easily. Or think of batteries that cannot be replaced. Do they all commit this fallacy, too? Do they harm the economy and therefore indirectly also themselves?

Or is it a matter of how long the window is used before it is broken? If so, how long? You could also make nearly unbreakable glass (buttons, rockets, etc.) but at very high costs for the company and therefore also the consumer. What role do the costs play in all of this? Is it an equilibrium? When does the fallacy start and normal 'crap product' cycle end?

I've never seen any explanation of this alleged fallacy that answers any of these questions.
Thanks, I'll have a look into it.

I guess you aren't familiar with KeePass. If your KeePass database is pwnd, that means your box has been pwnd since the database is stored locally and not any cloud provider (unless YOU put it there). This means you have much bigger problems and is not a shortcoming of KeePass, itself.

As a full disclaimer, there are some issues with KeePass [1], but known issues are detailed in full by the project and are available for review.

I'm an engineer seven years into my career, and I was most recently the first hire at a startup that helped small campgrounds manage their business. That was written top to bottom in Clojure(Script) and used Datomic. Before that, I headed up an internal tooling team at Mutual Mobile getting into some of the more dynamic parts of Python. I enjoy solving problems. Sometimes that means I write code, but other times it means I help find the root cause and solve that with a new idea, process, or even find out it isn't really a problem. I've managed small teams of developers as a team/tech lead and would love to do so again.
"Nonetheless, I feel that I have no reasonable choice left within the bounds of ethics, but to announce the discontinuation of all Tor-related services hosted on every system under my control."

One can only assume this statement was made due to the somewhat recent Appelbaum debacle, but why pussyfoot around the subject? Lucky either believes numerous members of the Tor project are lying or there is something more nefarious going on here. Has he expanded on what ethical standards he is in disagreement with?
