Not to be mean but there's more than "PC" at work here. For example, I don't talk much at work since I have anxiety among other things, so it's really hard to socialize even at work. But what makes it even worse is when people don't respect my personal space and try to get me to "open up" beyond doing my work. I know for some this annoying because we're social creatures but honestly I'm not. I prefer to be on topic so that when I go home at the end of the day I can just forget about whatever happened only to pick it up later. So, if that offends anyone that's not my supervisor I don't really care. Nor should others take offense when I don't care for their "you should open up more or smile more" comments. I won't file a complaint with HR since I know the nightmare of HR from previous jobs but don't expect me to give you my personal email address or my Facebook account name (since I don't use my legal name on it) just because we work together.
Then they should really design the system with the limitations in mind so that it can only be used like that. It seems like it allows for too much time without hands on the wheel with only a warning that can be ignored.

Listen and be human. Show your team you are an advocate of them that will give constructive feedback and positive reinforcement. Don't pretend boring projects are fun or interesting. Don't pretend to know everything. Ask them what their expectations are of a boss, and set your expectations for what you expect of an employee. You'll be fine!
Job mobility is also a big factor. I talked with someone who moved from the Bay Area to San Diego; people in San Diego tend to stay with their jobs for a long time. Whereas here it's not unusual to have people switching after 1-2 years.
I don't see how that definition conflicts with real autopilots. The autopilot does the steering instead of the human. The human supervises.

On a ship, for example, the helmsman is steering, but the officer of the deck is in charge.
>All the horrid Java libraries that we hated working with 10 years ago were created because of slavish devotion to the single responsibility principle, short methods, DRY, and testability. The absolute worst codebases I've ever seen sprung from an overaggressive concern for extensibility.

Slavish adherence to these principles (with the exception of DRY) violates one of my core principles: write the least code possible to solve a problem.

The single responsibility principle in particular isn't what I'd consider a fundamental principle of good code since it often can lead to writing an awful lot of unnecessary boilerplate. Short methods are similar (if a method is called only once I often consider that a code smell).

I think the culture of Java is also partly responsible for this: grand architectural designs are valued over terseness and simplicity. A system with stack traces as high as your arm are seen as something to be proud of.
Surely you agree that it's possible to prove x>0 is true after executing this program:

if(x <= 0) {
x := 1;
}

People have come up with techniques for reasoning about loops and recursion. Not in general, of course, but for some specific property (e.g., x > 0) and some specific loop (e.g., while(x <= 0) x := x + 1) there are techniques for proving that the property holds after the loop.

> I regularly see similar claims about software validation

Validation and verification are very different things. Verification is "my program meets these formal specs". Validation is "my specs accurately encodes the whole problem". Indeed, there's no way to do validation in a provably correct way. (But, of course, mathematics and statistics can help :-) ). The good news is that a lot of security and other bugs arise even once you have the correct spec. So verification can be useful even if it's impossible to perfectly validate.

> by people who either do not know, or who don't want to acknowledge, that this problem cannot be solved in the general case.

It's somehow ironic that you invoke the Talking problem since Turing himself -- AFTER having proven the Halting problem -- basically conjectured the creation of formal methods.
You get to know the principles behind the code pretty well after 2 decades at it. In Los Angeles we just don't seem to have the same level of overt ageism. I've been coding since 1995 and haven't had to even dye my hair much less go for plastic surgery. If you're working your mind as hard as we do it keeps you sharp. Maybe other people your age couldn't learn this but your mind is much sharper than average and stays sharp thanks to daily mental workouts of solving hard engineering problems.

Are you for real? Subaru's Eyesight would have detected this, and it is much less sophisticated than Autopilot (just two visible light cameras).

In the first crash Tesla explained how it occurred (strong sunlight blocked the visible light camera, and radar failed since the truck appeared to "hover" over the road) but they haven't explain this crash. Why didn't the visible cameras cause auto-breaking?

Breaking for stationary objects is the PRIMARY purpose of auto-braking systems.

Locke, Rousseau, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, and most classical liberals frequently noted that land is the original inheritance of mankind. Given that we all deserve equal rights, it does not make sense for individuals to claim a greater share of land than others, since that implies they have greater rights to the planet.

Of course, exclusive access rights are important for production and other reasons, so they usually would argue that landowners ought to be taxed in proportion to the land rights that they claim.

Places like Hong Kong have been able to forego income taxation in favor of collecting rent from land.
Ah, but do they need more junior developers than senior developers? Senior/lead devs who can take a project and execute the whole thing, including leading team members, are very valuable.
Having used ng2 in production for a while, I personally dislike the model behind this, mainly because it is not actually symmetric as it appears from a first look:

- input:

```
<foo [x]="y"></foo>
```

- output:

```
<foo (x)="y = $event"></foo>
```

To me this seems unfinished and inelegant; note also that everything is inherently mutable, but change detection will work best when the bound input values are reassigned, but if they are instead mutated at some deeper level, Angular will have trouble tracking those changes, and may behave in weird ways, which are often tricky to debug.

I was very impressed with the TTS examples in the original DeepMind article (https://deepmind.com/blog/wavenet-generative-model-raw-audio...).

Can someone elaborate on the usefulness of this implementation for Text-to-Speech?

I'm keen to experiment with voice synthesis. I want to create dialog, from multiple voice sources, for some characters in a VR application that I'm working on.

Perhaps this lib is a better option for TTS:

I guess I could do with an ELI5 on how I'd approach this with either of these libraries. I'm not familiar with any deep learning frameworks. But I am pretty handy with Python and have implemented SciKit stuff.

Also thinking this will give me a reason to try Azure K80 instance vs the AWS GPU instances I've been using for other stuff. That said, is a Tesla K80 the only option for WaveNet? I'm guessing I could run it on other GPU's but had read that memory might be an issue on some cards. If so what the lowest card I can run it on and will one of the AWS GPU instances suffice? I also have a GTX 970 at home, but I'm guessing that won't cut it.
I agree that it would be great if the system could only be used that way, but I don't see how that could be accomplished. Having your hands on the wheel has almost no correlation with paying attention to the road. I frequently watch the road carefully without touching the wheel, and it's easy to hold the wheel while staring at the clouds or with your eyes closed.
Excellent point - I've had disagreements with people who thought their code was beautifully simple while I thought it was an over-engineered mess.

Fixed the link. Thanks man
this is from 2013 and the author was an undergraduate at the time. its now 3 years later. this is his LinkedIn profile

https://www.linkedin.com/in/gferowich

he appears to have done a bit of freelance writing and editing, but generally not gotten very far into a "real job" as most of us would understand it. this is not a criticism. he's very young and seems to be off to a reasonably good start for a career in writing.

that said, the author seems to have strongly emphasized his social media clout (twitter account mentions "most viewed philosophy/existentialism on Quora" or some other inane thing like that) as if that was some sort of accomplishment. maybe this is just a generation gap thing. I'm > 10 years older than this fellow and I really don't relate to that at all. Damn kid's today. Get off my lawn.

so what's my point? that Philosophy as a major seems roughly equivalent to ANY non-technical major you might take as an undergrad. that's to say, it doesn't fuckin matter. if you enjoy it and feel comfortable spending all that money on your degree for it, then go ahead, but as far as career goes it probably has no greater value than any other humanities major.

I know I know, sample size n=1. I'm not trying to generalize from this anecdote. My previous paragraph is meant as a statement of opinion only. Still, it is readily observed and I think many others would corroborate it. In other words I disagree with the point of the linked article. There is no good reason to study Philosophy in school. I say this as a person who dropped out of a philosophy major in school, spent years living in "fun-employment" (that means poverty if you didn't get it) and then went back to school for computer science and got a real job. I never lost my interest in philosophy. If anything I've read more, learned more, and had better discussions as a non-academic amateur enthusiast than I ever did while studying this stuff in school.

Studying philosophy is all well and good. In my opinion, in 2016 in America, it is probably no longer a good idea to do this in the academy. The benefits of this study (gaining deep insights that inform how we live) are available to anyone who can read and find a decent forum (online or meatspace) to participate in. The academy is no longer necessary and may now be an impediment to studying philosophy, because it's so unreasonably expensive, and our society has shifted towards expecting university education to be career/money/job skills oriented.

The ability for people to speculate on rising land values basically ensures that a large portion of prime land will be underused, or held out of use entirely.

If we shifted taxes away from production and onto land use in general, regardless of whether it is vacant or not, we would no longer see this underutilization of land, and also end the perverse incentives of taxes on productive activity.
The thing is, angular 2 is not better. Not api wise.
It's just more performant, which is cool and all, but react has a much better value proposition.

That is wondrously hilarious. I am saving it, thank you.

Yes, there are some good counter-arguments (such as the one the comic refers to), but in my mind they more indicate potential pitfalls that need to be discussed and worked around rather than completely destroying the theory.

Most of this stuff doesn't translate into real world scenarios effectively regardless, I look at it more as helping guide complex decisions which have to be made in a chaotic and fast moving world that is difficult or impossible to reduce down to pure data.
This is how a revolution starts.

> Companies should really be aware of the maintenance overhead caused by fixing old badly done code.

This is a fascinating theory on programming ageism. It's common knowledge that most software buyers undervalue tech debt and the costs of maintenance/upgrades. That presumably translates for less interest in planning, experience, and thoroughness compared to speed.

And most of that isn't controversial, but I rarely see it raised in the context of preferring young and inexperienced devs. I suspect there's at least some truth to it, because highly self-aware software companies seem uncommonly willing to poach older experts.

I know a lot of work has been put in to angular-cli and it's been through a few iterations at this point, but I almost wish they would scrap the whole thing and fork create-react-app.

> How is it possible that these properties are not being rented out?

Maybe they are, and it's just all being conducted on a cash basis. Or if a Chinese owner is renting to another Chinese expat, they could be handling the rent payments in China (advantageous as it avoids moving the money outside China, which I am led to believe can be difficult and is one reason for the complex real-estate-based 'money parking' schemes in the first place).

The tax on "vacant" properties should probably be set equivalent to the income tax that one would pay on the average rent that you could extract from the property if it were fully rented. That would discourage actual vacancy and eliminate much of the incentive to have under-the-table renters.
>> Programs difficult to reason about are hard to get
>> working and hard to debug and hard to maintain.

Actually reasoning and maintaining often are at the opossing ends. The code which is easy to reason about tends to be low on abstractions and tightly coupled, so changes become much more difficult. More modular code is harder to reason about but the changes can be introduced easily.
I think both things are true. Plenty of people do slide into management, but only the genuinely interested should.
