It’s not “it’s your own fault”, but rather “you should read the document you’re looking at, and think critically, instead of expecting that every google hit is going to be precisely what you are looking for right off the bat, with no need to scroll or read”.

If the author had gone on the Freenode #python IRC channel or the Python Users mailing list (or..., or...) and asked “Hi, I’m a newcomer trying to understand Python loops, what’s the best resource?” someone could have linked him to the tutorial. Or if he’d done a google search and tried skimming a few hits, he would have found it.

It’s hopeless to expect that every single document in the world will be tailored for every reader.

There’s a real value to a concise and precise technical document aimed at folks who need something closer to a specification than to an introductory explanation. It would be net-negative to remove the language reference from the internet, or clutter it up with a bunch of information that can easily be written somewhere else.

Imagine someone wanted to understand the basics of how levers and pulleys work, and they came across a quantum mechanics textbook, which wasn’t comprehensible at their current level of understanding. Should the reader blame the book, or keep looking for a more appropriate source?
If the kid acted in that way in response to his interactions with his peer group, then his parents could most definitely have an effect .
That doesn't describe what's happening. What is happening is that people look at the race/gender/etc. makeup of companies and compare to an ideal makeup. When the makeup doesn't match the ideal, they infer that some groups are underrepresented. There doesn't appear to be anyone asking, "how does ideal representation compare to what's realistically possible?"
Sure, that's a good clarification.

You could have replied to that effect to begin. HN is a better place when people are charitable in their interpretations of comments and kind in their replies.
That's a good idea but logistically is hard, both requiring the interviewer to spend considerable time on site as well as costing your own employee's time.

It might work well for a small company especially with a small number of candidates but it doesn't really scale, unless you are a really big company (googleish size) that can dedicate so many resources to the interviewing process.

Doing design and research takes time, you can't do it in 30 min, you can't also ask someone to spend 8 hours interviewing, and if you have 10 candidates you can't spend half a man month or more on interviewing them either.

I've seen some companies that "interview" by contracting candidates for 1-3 days of work and paying them for it, but it really only works on positions where you hiring effectively interns/fresh graduates, but as most candidates especially those who end up in the face to face phase are currently employed you can't really do that.
This reminds me of the Library of Babel short story.
FBI Arrests Two Alleged Members of Group That Hacked the CIA Director
Right. My point (which may not be a particularly great point, but it was what I was trying to convey) is that the lay definition doesn't have any particular tight borders; presumably different regex libraries are capable of matching different things, use different syntax, etc.

(And this is part of why I find it confusing terminology and would prefer "regular expression" only to mean specifications of regular languages in the original formal sense. But, of course, I'm not the king of language, and it's natural that people would speak the way they speak, given the circumstances.)
Apparently. Citations, please, and not just from the odd right-wing politician trying to drum up votes. I've never seen a serious news article making a claim like that in the last ten years.

Fun fact: googling for "video games mass shootings" finds nothing of substance, other than the odd article about Hatred, which is a very specific case.
In my experience, the "skeptic" side transitions fairly freely between "the world isn't warming," "the warming is natural," and "the warming is anthropogenic but beneficial" based on whatever best fits the argument at any given moment. Adding in "the warming is anthropogenic and harmful but unstoppable" wouldn't be much of a change.

The message he sent to his brother was also sent to his mother, she just hadn't read it yet when the blog post was made.

The author wasn't manipulated twice, he didn't let the scammer get away with it. Although he should probably call the police.
"Letting the chips fall where they may" can include permanent unemployability. Let's just say I'm not going to be asking anyone else to catch up over coffee.
But especially then, how do you make sure no one forces anyone else using violence?
Yeah, whatever. I'm sure I'll remember that when I run my phone into a giant iceberg.
I have a cell headset that stores in a charging case. Such a brilliant balance in convenience and battery life. I have never once thought about whether the headset is charged. Same play Amazon did with the Kindle Oasis cover, and now Apple with these. You're going to want to keep the two parts in something, why not a charger case?

Your heavy battery hanging off ears comment is like people hearing about a Walkman asking how you'll fit LPs in your pockets anyway:

Linking RNA structure and function
I've observed people to respond very badly when I use it, and as best I can tell, that's why.

I speak to communicate with people - that's communicate with, not talk to, and if you're unclear on the distinction, any dictionary with etymological information will serve you.

Talking about other people's opinions, behaviors, and beliefs in terms of privilege makes communicating with them harder instead of easier. So it's not worth my while to do.
I similarly use a Pi 3 as a X2Go/NX gateway box for remote access to office machines from home.

I'm hesitant on using it as a network gateway as I'm not sure the LAN port would be fast enough (just an impression, never actually got around to checking that) and would need a second LAN port (at least) to do the job properly.

Am considering using one as a MQTT server as part of a home automation infrastructure. Could even use the on board wi-fi as a separate, carefully firewalled network for the various devices I might prefer not to have on the main network.

It's not putting your stamp of approval. Imagine a school bully coming up to you and saying, "Would you rather me punch you in the face or in the stomach?" Saying "I don't want either" means he's going to be the one picking. Going with the punch in the stomach doesn't mean you actively want him to punch you in the stomach, it just means you don't want to get punched in the face. When those are the only options, you should probably pick the better one.
Living in Singapore, which is just north of the Equator, I have no idea if the local Navy does this since crossing the equator must be a common occurrence.

I would suspect the Indonesian navy doesn't as the country straddles the equator.
> For example, a cert where the owner validated "netwi.ru" was able to add "mx.idisk.su", an entirely different domain, without validating it.

Now that's odd, because I know those two domains. I've even requested some certificates for them myself before (never had anything odd - I think I would've noticed if there was a way to add a domain without validation), but I left the company in January 2015.

It was my coworker requesting that certificate, and I've just found - still have the access to the servers as I help them with small issues on rare occasions - that at the same date it was issued (Feb 26, 2015) he had most certainly got a validation file (idisk.su.html) and put it into idisk.su's static root.

Webserver logs are, of course, long gone so can't really tell if it was actually accessed or not, but I think when I had requested certificates myself it was a wizard-style process where one got a file to download and the only next action was to validate it, no other way to proceed.

I mean, at least he got the file and put it there, in a proper place. And it's also weird that the certificate in question (https://crt.sh/?id=29805560) had included another idisk.su subdomain (mail.idisk.su) that wasn't marked as not validated in the report (https://www.wosign.com/report/wosign_incidents_report_090420... page 13).

I don't doubt there was a severe bug. But this leaves me wondering whenever the analysis followed was really accurate (not saying it wasn't, but still sort of curious that it could be).

No one is asking anyone to tiptoe around anyone else's issues, and I think it requires a certain degree of tendentiousness to read this conversation in that way. We're not talking about men who are unhappy at home so they take that out on female colleagues at work. We're talking about men who are uncomfortable or even afraid to interact in any significant way with female colleagues, because they know that if they do so and their wives find out, punishment will result. If you think that sounds fucked up, you're right. Imagine how it must be to live a life like that.

It is, to say the least, not easy for anyone to speak publicly, even under a pseudonym, of being or having been abused by intimate partners. But it's something worth doing and worth encouraging. That's true because abusers rely on secrecy to escape the opprobrium their actions deserve. It is also true because every time someone describes abuse clearly as what it is, there's a chance that someone else, who hasn't yet realized the true nature of their suffering, will see in that description something which may be of value to them.

When you respond to such statements in so callous a fashion as this, you may very well in so doing make those to whom you so respond less likely to make such statements in the future. Please think about whether that's something you really want to do. I don't ask this on my own behalf, because you cannot harm me. But it is very possible that you can harm someone else. If it were me, that's not something I would want to do. But perhaps you feel otherwise.
Almost daily something about Deep learning/ANN/RNN is on the front page.

I have only recently begun to learn this I do not find a nice starting point like we have for other fields like a bunch of books etc

I read a lot of books, a lot of video lists and finally settled down on Georgia Tech ML class ud262 which is awesome and just plain theory.

I want to build an AI to manage my day, any pointers as to where I shall start looking into when I am aware of theory concepts?
"Don't want to work in tech" isn't an atomic desire. There are lots of things that go into a persons decision of what kind of work to do. The tech world could no doubt win over some of the people (men and women) who are on the fence about it because of the tech world subculture. Of course, there are some things that people in tech don't want to change, but there are also some things that would benefit everyone to change.
As other people touch on, a good offense is something the NSA can actually do themselves. They don't have the authority to be a good defense. They had - and have - no ability to compel OPM to get their shit together.

In terms of defense, they've got a severe case of Congress-induces toothlessness.
"equally unacceptable" is not what "no preference" means. i'm astonished you're trying to argue these are equivalent.

"differently unacceptable" is also a terrible situation though! this is the entire point of my argument. I may find some candidates more bad than others. being forced to vote for less bad is still being disenfranchised to a significant extent.

He's hugely influential in the field; arguably dominant in a way that is unhealthy for a field. Acolytes will say he's influential because of merit, detractors will say it is because of rhetorical skill, sophistry. I hope there will come a time when press releases no longer breathlessly announce Chomsky's theories falsified for the umpteenth time, but rather actual progress.
I tried to get C++ working in vscode but ran into trouble getting it to debug with gdb. I was looking for a smooth "hit f5 to compile and run (with breakpoints)" experience like I am used to with VS, but unfortunately there are no tutorials I could find on making that happen. The C++ extension is available, but I can't figure out what exactly it does or how to use it. It suffers from that common problem where they give you a config file, but don't tell you the possible options. There is an opportunity for a good blog post here if someone out there knows how to do this!
To this and some other comments saying essentially "you can cut it down".

Oh sure! I can cut it down to 1 word if I want: awesome :p

One of my points is, I have literally not seen a 1 page resume before outside of fast food/janitorial work. Before chatting with her, I would have advised her to fix that up, because no one will take her seriously with a dot point resume that looks like it was put together to hit some automated text search and no natural human reading. I admit after some discussion, I fell back to "wow...they're not even pretending they're nothing but a keyword search meat grinder", because I do respect her so I thought she was telling the truth. And now I've got additional corroboration from HN.

I think there are arguments for longer/shorter resumes. In my, and my jobs/culture defence, I need to see you can write in plain English, have some sense of aesthetics, prioritisation, presentation. By that age I expect you've worked in several jobs (about which your summary might be my first impression/knowledge) and dot points aren't going to cut it, because your job titles, product names and keywords are meaningless noise to me: I joke my grandmother is an entrepreneur/CEO and has worked with everything. Your dot point resume looks like an indian from mechanical Turk put it together by amalgamation of keywords from job ads and pop culture. I want personal details, but summaries, on your projects, products, papers, in plain communicable error free English. 1 page screams kid/unprofessional to me. 2 - 4 pages unless you're 50 - 60 and have written 100 books, done something truly remarkable.

Now I'm not saying its right, I'm just saying that's my world.
5300 people doing this means it is impossible that no C-level executives knew.

If I stole one credit card application and created a fraudulent account, forging a signature, I'd be doing time.

If I ran a ring of 20 people stealing credit card applications and forging signatures, I'd be a fairly major federal case. Stephen Heymann would be giving talks on how his clever cyber crime people put me away.

If I was the Keyser Soze of fraudulent credit card account creation, with thousands of people working for me, they would put me in isolation in a federal supermax.

But when a pillar of American banking does it, the fine is a mosquito bite and nobody goes to jail.

EDIT: And we don't even get to find out the names of the individuals involved. This NEEDS a leak.
I think the intent of the parent comments was to say that it's fine to consider a regex a standard "regular expression" in the mathematical sense if it still translates to a DFA and matches a regular language. For instance, mathematical regular expressions typically only include '*' (0 or more), not '+' (1 or more). However, you can still translate a regex including '+' to a DFA. Likewise arbitrary repetition mechanisms like {m,n}, case-insensitivity, and other features that add convenience without actually matching non-regular languages.

On the other hand, backreferences can allow matching non-regular languages.
How I hacked your CFP (and probably some other things too)
From what I can see, if Apache OpenOffice wants to be a viable project with Libreoffice already out there and well ahead from a user perspective, it needs to focus on things that are attractive about it that differentiate it from Libreoffice. Right now, to the best of my admittedly limited knowledge, that's primarily their license. My thought on this is that they need to pick some (fairly radical) directions to take the project in that will provide clear alternatives to LibreOffice. Maybe they could review the ideas here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Crazy_Ideas and pick some of the more ambitious ones that Libreoffice is unlikely to attempt.

Winter generally supports less life than the warmer seasons. In colder parts of the world, it is a season to be survived. Surely, if winters were shorter and milder, there would be some benefits, no?
The commenter several up in this thread mentioned the threat of a beating from their wife so casually, like it was no big thing, like of course their wife would beat them for talking to other women. I presume it was just colorful language on their part, but if they are laboring under the idea that this would actually be a reasonable situation (fucked-up gender norms perhaps playing a role here), it's important to stress that it is not. Wives should no more express displeasure with their husbands through violence or the implicit threat of such than vice versa. (Nor, as noted, should anyone behave this way toward anyone)

I'm an Australian male who moved to the US. I don't recommend anyone, male or female, work in tech in Australia. The pay is crap and housing is ridiculously expensive. Think SF'ish rent for midwest pay.
Do you have any references to a scientific expert making a prediction that was off by orders of magnitude?
Men also have a lot of 'crap' that is because of there gender also.

Lost jobs and being looked over for promotions for the explicit reason that there was an artificial quota for people with a Female genitalia to fill certain positions. Regardless of how unskilled or uninterested they were in the work. I am sure many Men have had this brutal injustice perpetrated against them.

There is a level of aggressiveness and bulling allowed towards Men which would never be allowed towards Woman. It is simply seen as 'survival of the fittest' in most organisations and even encouraged by management in many cases. Serious health problems, depression and even death have resulted because of these type of environments. Where is the outrage for this injustice?

"women can do everything "right" and find it still isn't enough."

Yes, and so can Men. This is not gender specific this is just the brutal reality of working life. Most people have been crushed at one point or another in there career by what seems like an undeserved attack on them personally. If you can not separate that personal experience from the larger Industry and world in general you are putting yourself into permanent psychosis of fear and oppression. The world does not owe you anything even if you're the best, smartest, nicest person in the world. You have to work through hardships and move on in life.
Even if you don't get your information from Facebook, if enough people do, then Facebook can influence the outcomes of elections which directly affect your life. If you are a plumber who doesn't use Facebook, and Facebook promotes a bunch of content that foments anti-plumber sentiments, you may be attacked on the street by an angry mob of Facebook users.

It is not possible to design your life so that you completely avoid the influence of an entity as large and powerful as Facebook, just like the citizens of most countries cannot design their lives in a way that fully avoids the influence of the U.S. government.

You can be naked for the following reasons: Breastfeeding, Satire, Comedy, Artistic (but only photos of art), educational, and surgery (but only reconstructive)

but being naked because you didn't exactly have time to grab clothes while fleeing from being burnt up, is too far on the nudity scale?
