Thank you for the example. The "large red ball" case brought up by OP is slightly different, though, because it's not about subject/object/verb ordering, but rather about relative ordering of adjectives.

Even in languages that do allow for relatively free reordering (my native, Russian, is also like that, and also uses it heavily in poetry), "red large ball" just feels awkward compared to "large red ball", so I think there is, indeed, some actual linguistic law behind it that applies to at least these languages.

The stretch is to claim, on the basis of a few (or even a couple dozen) languages, that the law is indeed universal. It's the exact same mistake that European linguists have made before, because they were basing their assumptions on a bunch of closely related languages that they were familiar with - and once they started studying more "exotic" stuff, like Native American and Polynesian languages, it turned out that many of those assumptions were only true for that original subset they were working with, and didn't apply in general.
What do you think of the numerous comments here pointing out that the flavor compounds in truffles are not oil-soluable, and that oil is used to PRESERVE truffles because it does not take the flavor away from the truffle?
I'm one of the Kafka authors, so admittedly my view might be slightly biased

Here is a quick comparison of Kafka and Pulsar:

- Kafka is a complete streaming platform vs a messaging system which is what Pulsar is. Through Kafka Connect (http://www.confluent.io/blog/announcing-kafka-connect-buildi...), it has support for connectors to stream data between various sources and systems. Through Kafka Streams (http://www.confluent.io/blog/introducing-kafka-streams-strea...), it has support to do stream processing and transformations over Kafka topics.

- Broad adoption base: Kafka is very widely adopted across thousands of companies worldwide. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Powered+By

- Tunable durability and consistency knobs on the producer: The Kafka producer API allows the application to either wait until a message is fully committed across all replicas or just the leader. This allows applications to make the right tradeoffs for throughput vs durability. One size does not fit all.

- Performance and efficiency: Kafka supports zero-copy consumption allowing the consumers to read large amounts of data at high throughput. To the extent that I understand, Pulsar with its legder-broker model does not support zero-copy consumption.

- A lot of the reasons quoted for creating Pulsar are features that exist in Kafka and are used in production:

-- Kafka has multi-tenancy support through user-defined quotas (See this http://www.confluent.io/blog/sharing-is-caring-multi-tenancy...)

-- Kafka has support for authentication, authorization, user-defined ACLs (See this http://www.confluent.io/blog/apache-kafka-security-authoriza...)

-- Kafka has support for geo replication. In fact, that is the most common use case for Kafka in several companies. (See this https://engineering.linkedin.com/kafka/running-kafka-scale)

-- Latency: The end-to-end latency from publish to consume can be very low in Kafka (<10ms).

- Support for millions of topics: To the extent that I understand, both Pulsar and Kafka use ZooKeeper for metadata management. That is the main bottleneck for supporting a large number of topics and likely the same tradeoffs apply to both Kafka and Pulsar as a result.

- Storage model: The length of a partition in BookKeeper and
hence in Pulsar is not bounded by the capacity of a server. So you have the ability to add servers to accommodate a workload spike.

This is merely a quick overview. There might be more aspects of this comparison that I'm missing.
The problem is Bluetooth audio, from all sources, is far higher than 2ms latency. The best codecs seem to be (per sources like this -- http://stereos.about.com/od/glossary/fl/What-is-aptX.htm) 40ms or so. "Typical" Bluetooth audio seems to have a latency of 150ms-200ms.

Musicians can compensate to some degree of latency, but not when your audio is delayed by approx. an 1/8th note at 140bpm. (1/8th note at 140bpm = 214ms). Even 40ms isn't terribly tight.

So rule Bluetooth audio out for this.

The dongle is an option, of course, but it probably is not as robust as a soldered-in 3.5mm jack.

No, there are issues. If you install packages that have dependencies on libraries which apt-installed packages depend upon then you can break them.

Bullshit. I have the skills for an intermediate-level data engineer, but I find it bland and I'd rather work in computer vision. However, offer me enough and I may reconsider, and I don't think I'm alone in this.
Seems to be a hardware restriction. According to the PS4 Pro: The Ultimate FAQ[1]:

"No, PS4 Pro’s internal Blu-ray drive does not support the new Ultra 4K Blu-ray Disc format."

So, no future firmware update can fix this.

There are too many "No, that's wrong"'s here for a bunch of people that aren't getting this quite correct. You do not need root access to install a rootkit, you simply need to exploit a security flaw that allows you to install, run, and avoid detection. This is easiest done by modifying the host to disable it's ability to even find you on the device. This is much more difficult on modern systems, so for most modern systems, they're installed as trojans using the privilege escalation of another application or install.

The connotation difference is the difference between getting hit with a 10mm and a 9mm. Negligible, as it's leaving a hole that you really don't want there.
> I abhor reflection and factories, so if I write Java I don't use them.

But factories etc are idiomatic Java. You can avoid it in the code that you write, sure, but how do you avoid it in the third-party libraries that you use?
Yes. And the malware could be polymorphic. Or there could be multiple versions of the same "core" out there. It's not clear to me how sophisticated virus (malware) scanners for OS X are with dealing with that.

Two questions:

1. In the same job (say, sr. developer) with equivalent qualifications, what differences in approach, behavior, and performance can one attribute to someone being a man or a woman?

2. How would you recommend responding to a peer, a subordinate, or a superior who behaves in a way that reinforces negative stereotypes about their identity?
That is so exciting for me. I love listening to audiobooks when I'm walking my dog, or driving, or something boring that doesn't need my brain but does need my arms.

One of my clients has just started using them as the smarts in its range of industrial tank controllers.

I don't agree if you are moving to various jobs/teams in larger org. Definitely not true in large BFSI and Retail companies. And with they have challanges that 98% start-up would not have. There are companies with 50 to 100 applications with more than 10 million users+ and most startups wont even have capital to buy security and infrastructure items these companies buy. Choose companies in the below list which have lot of direct to consumers interaction using technology. You will 10+ years fruitful career with lot better pay (130k plus) and benefits and you will not lose out on technology if you are smart to keep moving or move to a position of SME/Architect etc..Peace of mind + time for side projects + job security etc..

> Therefore, every bar above 0 is impostor syndrome country, and every bar below zero belongs to its foulsome, overconfident cousin, the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Dunning-Kruger effect is attributed to "a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude." [1] Seems like a harsh accusation for being off by a single star.

And the author makes a generalization that the imposter effect is "better" than Dunning-Kruger effect. I don't clearly see why this would be the case for the interviewee.
Indeed. I did a spell checker for a Haskell university course, and the trie was the recommended data structure. Makes it really easy to eliminate large chunks of the dictionary at once when edit distance gets too large during traversal.
Huh. "Well tested" indeed.
Please come visit some mid-size or large tech companies in the Bay Area who make a ton of the Internet. Most of them are Mac shops. Even if not officially, at conferences and companies, it's like 99% MacBooks. Engineers aren't usually buying these themselves, but having one for work definitely makes a lot of people consider getting a personal MacBook.
this doesn't make sense - you were looking for short term rental and the search was filled with 12-month rentals? ie the airbnb search is broken or the owners was falsely advertising short term availability when only yearly was available?
The samples sound amazing. These causal convolutions look like a great idea, will have to re-read a few times. All the previous generative audio from raw audio samples I've heard (using LSTM) has been super noisy. These are crystal clear.

Dilated convolutions are already implemented in TF, look forward to someone implementing this paper and publishing the code.
The platform direction is determined by the primary process, not the presidential election. For the election the candidates are trying to engage with whatever groups are on the fence to get them to swing towards them - the aim is the middle.

During the primary candidates don't have the luxury of the middle - they need to find a large enough group of support that can push the party in some direction that's going to get widespread party approval while trying to find a candidate that still has a chance at winning the election.

If you don't want to vote for president then at least go vote for the many other things that will be decided that day!
What should happen when that wins?
I too always like to start my day with a fresh breath of legalism.

You do have some points, but your examples aren't so good.

1. In your test example, the students didn't know the course material, they just thought they did. They don't actually qualify for an A+.
2. In the scene of the accident, the rule there is in place because there is an incentive to leave the scene of the accident. Ideally, someone who didn't know the law would get a less harsh penalty than someone who did (so intent matters).

In the case above, there is something special happening. The rights of citizenship are on a much higher more protected plane than other rights (as other fundamental rights, voting, residency, amongst others are derived from them). We are allowed to use strict liability for leaving the scene of an accident because it's a shitty thing to do regardless of the law and because while it does affect the fundamental rights of liberty, it is based on something that the person did to deserve a punishment.

In the case of citizenship, if they technically qualify and act as though they do, that should be enough to at least give them the option of taking it retroactively. It's too fundamental for the most simplistic interpretation of bureaucratic rules to suffice.

In my experience, not that much. The 5 years experience might mean one year repeated 5 times. The person might be bored but he has no choice but to continue with web development and so on. Get somebody who is interested and smart enough for the job. Note I didn't say "the smartest".
> Did you know that the House of Reps absolutely has to limit their choices to the top three EV recipients?

Well, yes, but for some reason it slipped my mind when I posted the response, and I would have deleted it if you hadn't responded first. So, I'm just going to edit it down to an "Oh, nevermind" and be done with that whole line.

There's actually some imaginable scenarios where Trump wouldn't win (and where other options would be available), but it requires electors realizing before casting their votes that their won't be an electoral majority if votes are cast normally, and then colluding to vote "faithlessly" in order to give the House different options [0]. But, while imaginable and legally possible, this is quite improbable (but then, so is no candidate getting 270 EVs.)

[0] In principle, this could happen even if there was an apparent electoral majority, but its even less plausible in that case. It really only makes any kind of political sense as a response to the condition where a lack of an electoral majority means that there is going to be an unclear mandate for whomever is elected.
Did you reply to the wrong person?
No, that is really wrong. Rootkits aren't for privilege escalation, see the paragraph immediately following your quote:

"... an attacker can install it once they've obtained root or Administrator access."

Calling BO a backdoor is a major corruption of the word, as you loose the only word for describing intentionally weakened security - so that you may describe a thing which already has several more explicitly defining names: malware, trojan, dropper, etc.
I honestly fell into it by luck. I moved to NYC, studied machine learning in grad school, networked my ass off, and landed an internship.

From there I went full time as something of an ML engineer at a company with a strong tech culture, and learned as much as I could in both tech and ML/statistics. The rest is history (although I'm by no means a rockstar or whatever).

My path is hard to reproduce -- it starts with being in NYC or SF at a specific point in time, before the labor market became saturated with data science bootcamps and PhDs furiously learning Python while working on their dissertations.

Your best bet at this point is to produce a few data-related projects (maybe work on open source like scikit-learn and pandas?) and network like crazy. Someone somewhere will have a need for someone like you.

I guess that Google looks at each word individually. And what Google does is intriguingly simple: When they see someone do two similar searches from the same person, where the second search has way more results, they record the first search as "wrong spelling", and the second one as "correction".

You see younger devs who get stuck on tools too, but their tools are more likely to be up to date and therefore their skills are more marketable.

Although your statement is technically true, it is basically meaningless.

Yes, you can always always always find somebody to do a job is your a willing to pay 10 million dollars. That means that "shortages" are impossible. It means that you can never have a shortage in any situation, because you can always pay 10 million dollars for a single visit to the doctor.

But this line of logic isn't very useful when talking about "shortages".

If you had to pay a million dollars for a loaf of bread, is there a shortage of bread? IE, billions of people will starve to death by next week, because they can't afford to buy food.

Most people would say "Yes, there is a shortage of bread".

When people talk about shortages, they are obviously talking about a shortage at a certain price point. There is no other definition of the word shortage that makes sense.

A good definition that I use for the term shortage is "If the government could snap its fingers and instantly produce large amounts of X overnight, would the world be a better place"?

If the answer is "Yes, the world would be in a much much better place", then that means there is a shortage of X. If the answer is "No, the world would only be a little better". Then that means that there is NOT a shortage of X.

How does the registration work with weird state requirements? For instance, Indiana requires a "wet" signature, unless through the specially-exempted indianavoters.in.gov form.

I tried to go through both voteplz.org and vote.org to see if it would end up directing me to indianavoters.in.gov, but:

When I entered my address, VotePlz told me "Uh oh! Looks like something went wrong with our codez." (in a pop-up over a message telling me that it wasn't a valid residential address).

When I hit "continue" after entering my basic information, vote.org told me "The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to."

Elections, especially under First-Past-The-Post voting, are coordination games- not opinion polls. If you can assemble a coalition of ~70 million voters for a third party within the next two months, sure, do that. Otherwise, you are abstaining as far as the outcome is concerned.

It's very easy to dislike both candidates in play today, and certainly feels good to vote for neither.

But they are not equally bad. One candidate views large swaths of Americans as inherently illegitimate, while the other is perhaps garden-variety corrupt.

Your conscience is what stops you from doing things that feel good, but hurt others.
