I've mentioned this before, but it's worth mentioning again: unfortunately, F# is not guaranteed to be null-less. As soon as you are working with instances of some class (for example string), you are back to normal null checking. Of course you can wrap the string in an option, but it can still have a value which is null... So even if you don't have any kind of interop, you can still end up with NREs. So what you'll have to do is tell your teammates to not use nulls, and instead make proper use of option etc, and then you're back to avoiding NREs by conventions, not by the compiler helping you out. Am I incorrect in this?

F# seems like a very nice language, but honestly, C# is getting so much love from Microsoft that I haven't felt motivated to learn F# properly (the situation is very different in Java land). Seems like non-nullable references may even make it into C#, so there you go! :)
I will agree the media like to blow a lot of things out of proportion. But you can not deny Africa has some serious problems that outsiders just aren't exposed to in any form daily. I'm glad you had a positive experience, but downplaying things has the opposite effect.

I was not saying that the justice system should avoid pain to the guilty but rather work on a principle of least harm. If a person has slain several people, and it is likely he will do so again, society might be better off with the person locked away. A life imprisonment can be, if not canceled, then terminated and amended financially.

It of course depends on the nature of the prison. I would claim it could be just like a regular apartment - except you can't leave. There is no reason for it to be doomy , gloomy and grimy if the raison detre is to protect the society from the person locked away.

I think norway's treatment of prisoners is great example of how to do this as sensibly as possible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_imprisonment_in_Norway

Steven Levy's "Crypto" [http://www.stevenlevy.com/index.php/books/crypto] is a good read on this topic if you're looking for something more in-depth.
The article did not provided much useful information about food born illness. Watermelon picks up more bacteria than a gummy bear when dropped on the floor. That is obvious. A couple of things that would be much more helpful to point out: 1) your kitchen floor is much less likely to be coated with salmonella if you avoid bringing raw chicken carcasses into your house, and 2) a major factor in the severity of food born illness is dose. It is much safer, for example, to pick up a piece of watermelon from the kitchen floor ant eat it immediately than it is to pick it up and toss it in a salad that you are taking to a picnic, giving any bacteria that was picked up hours to multiply at moderate temperatures before being eaten.
GM was my first exposure to programming at about age 12. I would highly recommend it for your kid, for all the following reasons.

It doesn't require programming. Pretty complex games can be made with the drag-and-drop interface, which is simple & intuitive and designed for kids.

It naturally encourages a shift into programming. By age 14, I was completely off drag-and-drop and using the built-in GML programming language for everything instead. This programming language has some quirks to make it work with the GUI-driven system, but is still a decent introduction to programming (though these quirks mean I'd hesitate to recommend it to someone raised on more traditional languages).

The system is designed to be simple and accessible but also flexible. Its object & room model is abstract enough that you can make most any type of 2D game with it, from puzzles to platformers to top-down RPGs.

The system scales: your kid can learn the basics easily and do more complex things with the system as they get older and more experienced with it. Commercially successful games developed in GM include Hotline Miami, Undertale, Gunpoint and Cook, Serve, Delicious.

Above all, it's easy to get results in. Unlike more complex systems & traditional programming languages, a beginner can assemble a rudimentary game in an afternoon, rather than spending a week learning to draw a square.

> Note that Erlang/Elixir programmers don't care about most runtime errors as we use Supervisors to restart processes that may crash because of them.

Telephoto was an interesting choice - in my day to day photographs though I'm rarely missing zoom capability that's not covered by digital zoom. What is missing though often enough is even better low-light capability. Honestly, I think most competitors did it right to include a second same-angle monochrome CCD for better luma SNR. Apple obviously couldn't do this to not look like followers of the herd. Really interested how it pans out in real life...
I don't know, iOS was doing a lot of these things before Windows 8 was even in the earliest of pre-release states.

Texas had a contract with IBM to consolidate all of the servers of all state agencies. I believe it was for $863 million dollars and 7 years. The first thing IBM was supposed to was to replace any hardware that needed replacing. They never replaced anything. A ticket to reboot a server took a week. As nearly as I can tell, IBM just underbid the contract, and figured that the court battles would be cheaper than making good on the contract. The on-going legal wrangling was literally constant. We just compiled our lists of grievances throughout our workdays and forwarded them on to our manager, where presumably, they got all aggregated again and eventually made it to the legal teams.

It was pretty horrendous. You could have developers or production at a dead halt for a week literally because a server (managed by IBM) needed to be rebooted, and they wouldn't do it. Managers would call and rage. I worked at a large agency, and we eventually got administrator access to the machines, which I think we were supposed to use only for read-only access... occasionally, we'd get told to actually reboot them or something. My impression was that IBM would be logging such infractions and just try to use them as more evidence of Texas violating the contract or something. At the very least, we weren't really supposed to use the access, but we did.

I wondered how the whole agency functioned with the IT infrastructure that badly planned. If you needed a new virtual machine, you'd be doing pretty well to get your request in 6 months in advance, literally. For them to click through creating when you literally know they have the capacity (because we had some insight into the infrastructure.) One of my managers went to some session, and there were more than 35 process steps to getting something like that done, if I recall corretly. Any step stalls, that's a black hole; you'd better be calling and checking on requests like that regularly, or they just dead-end somewhere. (Actually, nothing you didn't call about regularly ever got done, including reboots.) I think they got that down to 15ish steps eventually.

C is 0. Each half-tone up is +1.

If you really want to keep it concise you can write it as base-12 numbers.

C1 C1# D1 D1# E1 F1 F1# G1 G1# A1 A1# B1 C2 C2# D2 D2# E2 F2 F2# G2 G2# A2 A2# B2 ...
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b ...

First number is octave. Second number is half-tone in that octave. Translating is just mechanical addition.

EDIT: on second thought making it base-12 just to save some space makes no sense, people are good with base-10, just keep the numbers.

Well, the point is not necessarily that it can be reversed. The point is that society takes the stand that taking a human life, no matter how debased, is barbarous. Of course, this takes us to euthanasia and abortion territory, so we could modify this by saying that taking a human life without a deathwhish and consent is barbarous - just as prolonging life beyond a certain point.

A good example of a candidate for life imprisonment is a mass murderer who has obviously shot tens of peoples without any remorse and boasts doing it again. The crime is not debatable - the question then remains - how should a society respond to such a situation.
Society. Kids that are raised outside of what is considered the acceptable social norm often have problems adjusting when they get older. For example I actively try to avoid eating out at restaurants with people who are too fussy about their food. It's usually an awkward uncomfortable scene. I'd much rather share a meal with a '5 second rule' type of person.

As far as I know, the concept of "democratizing AI" comes specifically from the OpenAI initiative, which intends to make new developments in AI technology broadly available and not tied to any single company or entity. This in order to ensure that no single entity has control over how this technology can be used.

Given that Google, Apple, Facebook and others have vastly more data than any independent project, and therefore have stronger AI (currently limited to e.g. speech recognition, image recognition and other low-impact applications), the state of democratization of AI by this measure is poor today.
I think poverty correlates both with a high crime rate and harsh punishments.
Nearly all aural skills classes (learning to hear/sing music) for music majors use solfege or something like it. Some people use scale degree numbers instead (so a IV chord in a major key is "4-6-1" rather than "fa-la-do"), but the concept is still very useful.

I don't disagree that wordpress is fine, but claiming it's easy to manage after saying you have a team to manage yours and have setup a load of software to handle its complexity for you is odd. And then you say "most people just can´t handle WordPress the right way", which is basically another way of saying "it's not easy".

And 85 points on Google page speed insights or yslow are generally useless metrics. They give as much weight to complaining about a 5kb image not being compressed properly as not having a cdn. It's automated dumb, they're stupid tools with quite often stupid rules. Like I just checked a site I'm responsible for and lost points for not compressing a js file that would save 524B. Yes, that's bytes.

That's not contributing to site slowness at all. And yet at no point did it say "hmm, you've got rather a lot of poorly optimized js there".
Sounds like it must be 6 figures per year, congrats.

There are some specific scenarios where nosql solutions simply work significantly better. Probably the premiere example is time series data. You can use sql, but it's a pain. There's a reason why most monitoring systems use some sort of nosql database. A specific business domain example is multi-level marketing. Updates in SQL can take hours as one has to go through the entire tree to make any updates. Graph databases are a much more elegant solution to that problem domain.

I've listened to patio's podcasts and think I have some intuition about why the project is structured the way it is. But I'm not sure that this particular blog post is the right pitch to the this particular audience because there's nothing that people can walk around a kick the tires.

By which I mean that the article did not have three things about A/B testing that made me say, 'gee I really want more of that'. When I hit the browser back button, I didn't feel like I my odds of making money had been increased.

A few pieces of random internet advice: Don't explicitly discount preorders - making the product $900 today and raising the price later anchors differently than a discount today and at the price point you're seeking the discount isn't going to move the likelihood someone buys and in the segment into which you're selling the discount suggests cash flow issues and hence an increased risk of the presale winding up fulfilled.

A little further along, in an area like A/B testing course materials, I'm on the fence about whether presales is a distraction from just completing the course. Anyone who is in an A/B testing pickle today isn't helped by purchasing a presale course and neither is anyone who can wait. Someone who has decided 'I will learn A/B testing Q1 2017' might purchase a presale, but it's hard to see a business case for doing so.

Good luck.

RethinkDB got me interested some time ago and I took a look how they differ from SQL and found this page.

https://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/sql-to-reql/javascript/

Frankly, I cannot understand to write queries that verbose and complex when SQL looks clear and concise.

If I'm missing on how good RethinkDB is, I will gladly like to know.

One part SQL is notorious for is you don't know where it could fail until you send the whole query and receive the error unlike these NoSQL where operations can happen progressively.

While ORM can sort of mimic that behavior, I don't like that it hides SQL which makes crappy SQL alot easier to write and harder to debug.
Mustard Systems Ltd|London,UK|Full Time|Python/Linux|Senior&Junior Position
At Mustard we research and manage automated sports betting algorithms that we use to trade and make profit. We run multiple systematic strategies that connect to sport betting exchanges and are semi-supervised by humans. Our stack mostly consists on Python plus some Go using ZMQ and PostgreSQL running on Ubuntu bare-metal servers on LXC containers. It's mostly backend work with minor JS UI stuff and a bit of systems administration.

We have a very flat hierarchy and relaxed environment. Our devs cooperate with quants and sports traders.

We are looking for developers who have solid fundamentals in programming and maths and an ability to pick up new technologies. You don't need to be interested in sports or betting.

Yeah, many of the comments talk about bacteria, evolution, our immune systems being able to deal with bacteria, and that is all fine and good.

But what about chemicals and cleaning supplies? Eg the floors in a restaurant (and tables, too) get cleaned with some strong chemical products. That's definitely not food grade and no amount of evolving is going to help you deal with that. I see people put their forks, etc, on directly on table surfaces that were previously wiped with a cleaning cloth and I think that's careless. The floor would be even worse.

Eating from your dog is fine and probably has health benefits. Eating from a (chemically cleaned) floor is still not.
