This the correct way to deal with criminals - it's not your call to decide if they're a minor, a psychopath etc.. This way society can deal with criminals, hopefully his parents will make an effort now. Had you not done all this work we'd be guaranteed to have one more criminal to incarcerate in the future.
> We're not likely to eliminate these factors any time soon.

I disagree. Knowing about them can make a big difference, and training can teach people to avoid these errors.
What about running these statistics (correlating decisions with day of week, hour of day, etc.) for each judge, and then just tell them: see, in the past year you acted in this not very bright way; maybe you should think about the way you do your job? And, by the way, we'll keep running these statistics on how you judge.

Being made aware of our own biases is often the most effective way to make the situation better.

Heathrow, too, the last time I was there—though it was a long time ago. (I actually asked.)
I'd say that's probably a fair assessment. I'd also wager that on-premise vs. cloud hosted (given that two of the points of the original story talked about speed). Though you could group that into configuration.
What the fuck are you talking about? Those aren't even remotely the same thing at all.
Unenforceability doesn't seem to block FAA or TSA policy from making other policies..
Honestly to me it's more Facebook in this case; of the larger social networks, they tend to be one of the more restrictive when it comes to nudity in general. This hard-nosed attitude has come back to bite them on occasion. (See: the long-running "breastfeeding pictures censored" controversy.)

I wonder how much Facebook rely on algorithms to do their filtering these days. This is one of those cases where I can easily see those algorithms scanning the image and detect "child nudity!", resulting in the takedown. Algorithms aren't great at knowing context yet. (Even not every human reviewer would know context, even though it is pretty easy to reverse GIS and find out, oh, this is a Pulitzer prize winning photo...)
>> I used to hate JIRA. At the present work, it surprises me that I quite like it.

I've used it at several places and had the same experience. The one caveat I have is that all of those teams were using the full Atlassian suite which was actually really nice.

And we were using EVERYTHING:

JIRA

Bitbucket

Fisheye

Sourcetree

Bamboo

Hipchat

The integration with all of these made those teams really efficient at what we did. Not sure if this had anything to do with how much easier or better JIRA worked, but I never had an issue with it.
I basically agree, but I would say that a slightly deeper understanding of regular expressions is a really useful thing to know for basically all professional programmers. If for no other reason they can recognize the "pathological" cases where backtracking implementations (i.e. almost all modern regex implementations) would need until the heat death of the universe to evaluate.
Yes, have you?
I think your offhand comment deserves more attention, so here is a link:

I agree, and while I have not tried the other apps mentioned here, I do rely extensively on Atlassian SourceTree client for Mac and find it very useful.
> The main problem with these kind of simulations is that they're O(N^2). You can't get away with modelling each star, you have to model the interaction of each star with every other star.

Summary of what's below: The type of simulations described in the article do not scale like O(N^2) but more like O(N log N).

A small correction here.. The gravitational force calculation for N-body simulations are only O(N^2) if they're done using direct summation and force calculation. That's only necessary if you care about the motions of individual stars. The largest simulations I'm aware of that do that use a few 10s or 100s of millions of stars. They're typically used for studying individual star clusters, the regions around supermassive black holes, and perhaps dwarf galaxies. But the simulation in this article/press release has a few 10s of billions of particles, I believe. And those particles are all much more massive than individual stars. So while there are "star particles" in the simulations, it's more accurate to think of them as a set of particles which constitute a monte carlo sampling of the stellar mass distribution.

One aspect of that is you now no longer care about the detailed trajectories of individual particles[0], instead caring about the overall representation of the mass distribution. So you don't need as high of accuracy in the force calculation. Going back to the 1980's, people have been using numerical tricks to reduce the scaling of the simulations with the particle number. This includes algorithms such as treecodes, particle-mesh codes, etc., which reduce the scaling to O(N log N) or even O(N). These are sufficient to run simulations of describing the overall gravitational field.

The scaling for hydro codes is probably more complicated, particularly for simulations which use a moving mesh.

There's a nice summary of numerical techniques for this type of work here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.5187

[0] One can determine if interactions between individual stars is important to a system's evolution by comparing the 2-body relaxation time to the age of the system. This is discussed on pages 8–9 of the preprint linked above.
I agree.

But, we learned from C that the possibility of trying to access arbitrary parts of memory means that programs will end up trying to access parts they shouldn't. So, higher level languages like Python solve the problem by having memory-safe types like lists, which preclude the possibility of making this mistake.

Similarly, if we randomise the ordering of keys in the dict then it's impossible for a programmer to make the mistake (consciously or unconsciously) of relying on ordering.
It is considerably easier to model a galaxy than a worm. Even though galaxies contain many worms.
Alleviate the psychological pressure that comes from being a judge.

Provide an evaluation as to their ability to preside over a case.

You can think of plenty of other examples where therapy and counseling might be quite good, i rather not have judges secretly medicating themselves with antidepressants, and judging by statistics alone probably more than a handful of them do.
Or test locally? I work in government contracting so everything is .Net and TFS, but even in this environment it's trivial to make sure your code isn't objectively broken:

1. Click "Run all tests"

On your local machine even thousands of tests only takes a few seconds including the build process. We've got automated testing in the dev and test environments as well but if you're failing those there's a failure in workflow somewhere. There's very little reason to fail a test or to have a broken build in source control.
Yes, because no raindrop is responsible for the flood. If you want to stop floods, you need to invest in dams and levees which can influence the behavior of all of the raindrops. Going to the individual raindrops and suggesting that they should change course doesn't work.

> judgement will be completely impartial

It would be just as partial, but instead of the judge's biases it would reflect the preferences of other humans, the software developers and whoever controls them.

I think there's a great risk in misrepresenting to the public that computers are somehow impartial, and not representative and under the control of human interests. It's like saying a legal contract is impartial.

I didn't go to the hospital. It was in a large well-ventilated room, so it was bad, but not awful (mostly could just smell something bad).

And it never actually caught fire. I did however throw it in a chamber we had fashioned for tests that might explode a battery (which this one was not supposed to be). One of my co-workers got the worst of it, and I think he ended up calling out sick the next day. I felt really bad about that.

*edit: Just wanted to add that your advice is still sound. I strongly advise against inhaling that stuff. Better yet, don't cook them, and don't deviate from your procedure just because someone came and asked you for help at precisely that moment.

Facebook arguably has a monopoly position in the way that your local mall, movie theatre or newspaper does not.

If I don't like the Times, I can read the Guardian instead. If I don't like what's on at one cinema, I can go to another (granted this may be harder in a small town with only one).

Of course I can close my facebook account and move to diaspora, but then I'd lose everything from keeping in touch with my friends' latest accomplishments to the schedule of my local hiking club.

I already find if I'm away hiking for a weekend without internet access and couldn't be bothered to catch up on facebook on Monday morning because there's already a pile of e-mails to deal with, at coffee break it's like I've missed some important social information that everyone else knows, because team member A has done something and posted about it on facebook and everyone else has been liking and commenting on it, and everyone expects you to be up to date with this. Without a facebook account you may as well wear a badge that says "antisocial".

I personally think governments should regulate media outlets in proportion to their influence on people's lives. FB is the new IE.
Technically it's possible to have an index of all images published is some registered media and assume they are already vetted by editors of that media. Then you compare the published picture and voila - you do not have this problem at all. Of course, it adds some costs, but it's exactly what M.Zuckerberg can decide to spend money on (before delivering this service to people in Africa and other places where it's easy to abuse Facebook censor mechanisms - ask Russian opposition how Putin's media warriors take down their posts).

I agree there are many problems with injecting human judgment, but also many benefits. It's not all or nothing. We don't want to simply replace one set of problems with another.
Have you tried correlating visits from different devices from the same IP? E.g. if you get 2 devices from 3 St John St within an hour, then the same 2 from The IBM Building again within an hour, you can make a fair assumption that's the same person (you need the second site to isolate family members).

I've never implemented this - never had the time nor clients who wanted it enough - but have always wondered whether it might work. Maybe later this month. In declarative SQL, naturally.
Add Confluence to that list. Some integrations with JIRA are very nice, such as having a table of issues and their statuses on a wiki page is the cat's meow.

I have a meh-hate relationship with Confluence markdown, wishing for straight mediawiki. Another issue is that many of the plugins that would improve your life, such as "plain html please", have to be purchased and are expensive.

Why Is Medical Marijuana Still Not Accepted in All 50 States?
I keep a spare set of earbuds in the car and another by the bed and another in my laptop bag and some more in the other car. In addition to the pair I that lives in the living room.

The reasons: earbud management isn't my hobby and having spares solves other people's earbud management challenges. I suspect the earbud management challenges are only going to be exacerbated by the swap in connectors [when someone forgets their earbuds, odds are they'll be dongleless to boot] and by the push toward self powering.

Anyway, I buy earbuds in bulk because in my neck of the woods earbuds are morea consumable than fine jewelry...and I'd rather spend jewelry money on jewelry anyways.
this is really helpful & just what I was looking for - thanks a lot!
Or the journalist understand that it is automatic, but does not want a society where algorithms blindly determine what is allowed or not. After all "it's the algorithms" is a very convenient excuse for Facebook that allows them to be a faceless entity beyond criticism. It is Facebook that decide which algorithm they use to censor content, and they have chosen a rather prude set of policies they think will avoid offending anyone in any culture, and are very quick to remove controversial content. This is something Facebook have chosen to do, and to little degree something that is enforced on them.
Note that it has both cost and quality improvements: "If all 50 states had legalized medical marijuana by 2014, according to their estimates, that could translate to savings of $1.5 billion per year in Medicaid spending." In an era of extensive healthcare tinkering there are very few free lunches with no downsides. This is one.

I'm going to wait for more replication before I adjust my priors too much on this. It seems plausible prima facie, but I'm suspicious of their methodology. From the article (I don't have access to the working paper), it sounds like they might have been trying to test the significance of a lot of different variables, and this might just be the one that popped up.
OK, I'll buy that... it is not me, it is the administrator(s).
I'm 48, Italy, and I know about the Vietnam War but not because of school. Same problems you experienced.

I have few memories of it from TV news back then. I remember katyusha missile launchers firing and general happiness when the war was over. But many movies kept remembering everybody about that war. I read books, visited the memorial in Washington when I was there on vacation. I browsed wikipedia in the last years. I studied many wars at school (European history is pretty long) but I know less about most of them than about the Vietnam War. It's pretty easy to get informed even if school didn't care much about that war when we were little. Same about the Korean War.
Two individuals may be capable of breeding and reliably producing fertile offspring but still be considered different species if they would never mate "naturally". This may be due to geography, different mating seasons, different songs or appearances, etc.
Energy investor here with a pretty large wind portfolio (1GW) under management. This geographically dispersed portfolio idea doesn't really work. Due to different wind patterns, and wind types, a wind portfolio cannot be relied on for stable power generation... this is ignoring power curves, availability, transmission losses, network balancing, node bottlenecks, etc.

Take as an example the entire wind capacity in Ireland, and the curtailment issues this generates.
Man I hope something better comes along.
Heck, a far away government once ruled both Koreas as a colony they called Indochina

Could be but statistics are tricky.

Hour of day / day of week can easily be skewed by the system at large.

For example more bar fights over the weekends, more violent crime during the heat waves in the summer, more prank crimes involving young first time offenders during school breaks (e.g. spring break), more cases of spousal abuse during the holiday season etc.

Just having the numbers and saying here you are biased isn't really easy because it might not be possible to actually determine true bias from them.
Feels like the article was written by a pro-renewable reporter and edited by an oil-company exec. "Yeah they did it but you should be discouraged instead of hopeful."
i've had experiences that seem to imply that if one does not bother to get social skills, one also lacks in empathy and just shrugs everything off as “it's your problem, not mine that you dislike that i said your dog is fugly, and i have nothing to apologise for”. sure, the plural of anecdote is not data, but, as i've mentioned, personal experience only...
Sounds like a combination of an old version and poorly configured setup. Possibly running on out of date hardware.

I manage an Atlassian setup (Jira, Confluence, Stash, and Bamboo), and we don't seem to have any of the problems described in this article...

Well, except for the configuration part. There's options for almost everything.

The one gripe I have is that, while most things are configurable, there are some that seem like they would be easy to make configurable that get marked off as [wontfix].

Jira support is also pretty amazing. They're also really transparent and dogfood their application and expose their issue tracking to their customers. Bugs filed against Jira are done in Jira.

It seems to be an issue only in that people seem to want in a certain place but not pay the prevailing rent to do so. If they're willing to pay the prevailing rent, there is no issue.

In a neighborhood like mine (75% SFR, 25% MFR free-standing homes in West Cambridge), you can bet that I'll object to zoning changes that would allow "just building up". I don't need the noise, traffic, additional pressures on the school system, nor do I want to live in a mid-rise and high-rise district. If I did, I'd have bought in one...

CVN-65, 1976-79, operating out of Alameda in the SFBA; two WestPac / Indian-Ocean deployments. I was also there at Norfolk for the inactivation ceremony in December 2012. They had tours of the ship; it was interesting to see it after 33 years. A lot had changed; a lot hadn't.

It pretends to compare Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm. This article says Kubernetes has a lot of stars on github (doesn't compare it to Docker or Mesos, only says Kubernetes has a lot), same for Slack/Stack Overflow and number of CVs mentioning the tech ... I will pass Infoworld opinion from now on.
For a devOps fan like me, k8s has been a godsend, and what I like in particular is their 3 month release schedule. There are still some hiccups like no good documentation (or a tutorial really) on setting up shared writeable storage and how to handle databases, or more importantly replication.

The k8s team is very responsive and I'm sure these will be ironed out in the near future so we can all adore each other's cattle :)
The first listed risk is why I shy away from solutions that depend on pinning threads to logical processors:

Several processes can decide to schedule threads on the same NUMA node. If each process has only one runnable goroutine, the NUMA node will be over-subscribed, while other nodes will be idle. To partially alleviate the problem, we can randomize node numbering within each process. Then the starting NODE0 refers to different physical nodes across [Go] processes.

Basically, your particular runtime system is probably not going to be the only thing running on a host. And even if it is, the kernel itself may choose to run things on particular logical processors, and it may not take into account what pinning you have done. For that reason, I find these approaches brittle. If your users know exactly how they're going to deploy applications (not you, since you're implementing a runtime system for user code), they can squeeze out some more performance, but all it can take is one extra process running on that host to mess it all up.

That's the difficulty with implementing runtime systems, and not applications: your runtime system has to work for (usually) arbitrary user code on (usually) arbitrary systems. If you're writing a single application, and you know exactly how and where it will run, thread-pin away. But when implementing a runtime system, you don't have that kind of luxury. You often have to leave performance on the floor for a small number of cases so that you don't hose it for most cases.

In principle, I think this kind of scheduling should be handled by the operating system itself. If the kernel does not have enough information to do it properly, then we can identify what information it would need, and devise an API to inform it. But the kernel is the only entity that always has global knowledge of everything running, and controls all of the resources. I find that a much more promising direction.

As some minor support, consider the recent paper "The Linux Scheduler: a Decade of Wasted Cores", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11501493. My intuition is that runtime systems which perform thread pinning like this will tend to make such problems worse, since it constrains the kernel scheduler even more.
It's really just a social construct.
I used to do a lot of interviews for front-end engineers. The process I settled on was to give them the following setup:

- some mock-ups from when we first designed our product gallery

- a json file that listed the products names, pictures, description, etc.

- a blank css file

- a html file that loaded the css and jQuery, and then made an ajax request to load the json file. (This was back when jQuery was pretty much state of the art for front-end.)

With all of that in place, I'd explain that I'd like them to work on building a product gallery that looked similar to the mockups. I would further explain that, since we only had an hour, I didn't expect a polished or even fully functional product, but I'd just like them to dive in and see how far they got. They could use their editor of choice and ask any questions they wanted.

I felt like this gave better insight to candidates skill and workflow. My colleagues all gave more traditional interviews, so I also felt like there was a good counterbalance if someone didn't do well with this kind of interview.
I'm always a bit uncomfortable when I read about findings from these simulations. To say they have "answered questions" about galactic evolution seems to strong a statement. How about, "created a more accurate model"?
