I agree on OpenRC. OpenRC is a great, simple, portable solution that really solves the problem without introducing new ones.

What I think is that we see an extreme case of "Not Invented Here". To be honest, OpenRC (at times) was displayed as Gentoo-Only-Project, despite being very portable.

I however want to highlight another general purpose Linux distribution that seems to be kicking along well (ie. not just being an anti-systemd distribution) and uses OpenRC.

Slaves they had, but were far too valuable to use for testing things like this. Only kings and such could afford to waste salves that way.

And anyone rich enough to have slaves probably did not need to test random foods since they already had what they needed.

War captives maybe, or those condemned to die, but those are state things, and the state is unlikely to need to test foods.

They most likely used animals, same as we do today. Dogs would be my guess.

No, I don't think so. AFAIK, deep learning is essentially the same 1960s algorithms[1] (possibly modified a bit) running on much larger networks. Most progress is due to better hardware (and ad hoc configurations, made possible by the larger networks afforded by better harder). Of course, SAT solvers, which have become extremely effective in recent years, are also still based on a 1960s algorithm[2], so use of an old algorithm doesn't imply lack of progress in effectiveness.

The two (NN and SAT solvers) share little theoretical progress (and certainly no theoretical breakthrough) in the past several decades, but SAT solvers aren't marketed as "AI" in spite of their seemingly magical abilities. I know that ML researchers usually cringe at the name AI and often try to disassociate themselves from the sci-fi term, but still, the marketing is extremely aggressive and misleading.

I realize that in every generation, marketers like associating the name "AI" with some particular class of algorithms, but it's important to understand that currently, assigning that name to this class of statistical clustering algorithms (regardless of their remarkable effectiveness in some tasks) is a stretch, just as it was when the term was assigned to other algorithms.

Being a senior developer is not just having a great skillset. You need to be able to manage your work in a way the business values it. You need to interact with all sorts of people in the company you work for and help other teammembers rwaching the same level as you.

Our senior developer is always thinking about the business value when estimates are made vs quality. He even does not do alot of softwae development, but is always asked to help out other developers, system engineers and even management to give advice.

To be able to do that in a professional way, your vision plus skillset makes you a senior imo. Not just the years of experience and amount of skills you have.

This is a weird list of questions. I am a migrant to Switzerland (trying not to use the word expat anymore).

Swiss people are not very different to Americans in what they value, what hobbies they have, etc. They are much less outgoing, however. In America you can walk into a bar anywhere, at any time, sit down and have a spontaneous conversation with the barman or strangers sitting at the bar. This never happens in Switzerland. Do not expect it even if you speak good German. People in Switzerland keep to themselves. Because this makes it very hard to make friends there are a lot of "expat" events for immigrants to meet each other, and at these events you can go to a bar and start chatting to people of a similar age and background to yourself and make friends. This is how I made most of my friends: I have a few good Swiss friends, but overall most of my friends throughout my time in Switzerland were other foreigners.

Swiss people do not "fear" Americans, why would you have that idea? They do not spend a whole lot of time thinking about Americans in particular. The vast majority of people who live in the cities (and you want to be in the cities), and especially teenagers, do not own cars at all. Not only is there no need (public transport and taxis can get you everywhere) but there isn't usually enough parking and it's very expensive. People generally only buy a car once they settle down and move out of the cities.

People on the street in Switzerland tend to be well dressed and fashionable, and the women especially so. The high streets are dominated by fashion brands and shops. I can't compare this to the USA because I've only been to a few places there, but it's definitely a brand and fashion conscious place.

Actually the source of intelligence is not the data but the source of data.

I've seen Norvig's video myself and while I see that they get better results with brute force on more data, that does not mean that better algorithms don't exist.

In fact, I know for sure there are better algorithms (only because we have for example humans that are better than AI on certain tasks) that probably can use the available data in a more intelligent way than brute force, yielding better results in the process.

Yeah, those are weird examples. I was more thinking of that it's small (even for it's size), bureaucratic (while fairly efficient) and expensive.

> It is thought that adult lactose intolerance was the primal state of humanity

It's not just a thought, the lactose tolerance mutations have been reasonably well tracked in time and space.

> cheese consumption was a step on the way to adult tolerance, in those cultures that developed it.

That however doesn't make much sense, most cheese-based cultures remain broadly lactose-intolerant. Some of the earliest cheese evidences come from the middle-east, northern africa and central asia, which have limited to very limited rates of adult lactase persistence.

If you look at Europe's map of lactase persistence, rates fall as you head south, where the oldest evidence of cheese-making cultures are, cheese spread from the south but lactase persistence spread from the north (Roman authors specifically recorded germanic tribes/cultures as drinkers of raw milk), more closely linked to vitamin D intake necessity.

it would of been nice is they contrasted the "no rise in serious crime" with the number of drug related arrests.

for me the biggest reason to have gange legal is it frees policing resources up from processing fairly ridiculous prosecutions of people dealing in what is basically just plant material.

so while it is nice to see there is no real impact on "other crime" the fact they missed the impact of freeing up resources directly related to weed is a major ommission.

and also.

god damn you americans pay a lot for it. $250 an ounce. that's ridiculous. like more than three times the price I used to pay as a teenager for prime amsterdam skunk.
Well, it boils down to the fact that libuv (part of Nodejs) helps in fair scheduling for I/O resources; but the CPU is a resource too, and there is no scheduling taking place for that resource. Therefore, heavy CPU use without proper yielding can block other activities. Since the CPU is involved even in starting I/O operations, heavy CPU use can also block I/O, and in fact it can block the whole process.

I really don't understand this attitude. If you already call

JSON is a format mainly for machines, and is somewhat readable for humans.

The single fact that JSON doesn't support comments makes it pretty bad choice for configuration files, where you often want to document why a specific value was chosen for a setting.

Yes - I know that some JSON parsers will allow comments and strip them, but IMHO you shouldn't rely on this, and lots of editors will complain if they encounter any non-standard JSON.

The one doing the reimbursing would be the courier company not the sender as from legal perspective they still have the package as nobody signed it off. Similarly you shouldn't sign a package if it looks clearly damaged on the outside. If you do then getting reimbursement gets harder as the courier company can claim that you broke it after they delivered it.

The system is by no means perfect but I like that it dictates very clearly who is responsible for what/when.

And as pointed out by Symbiote most companies have a way to give them power of attorney to deliver the package without someone signing it.

When John Green from Portland, Maine goes to Google and types in a search query for 'dirt on Mayor', I would imagine that Google is going to have an advantage over any algorithm, human or otherwise, that does not have access to things like the fact that it's John Green from Portland, does not have access to all the news coming out of Portland (at least not in the same, automated way that Google does), does not have access to Mr. Green's search history, and does not have data on the results millions of other searches related to 'dirt on mayor'.

If you're going to compete with Google as the one-stop-shop for searches, you're going to need to be able to provide search results that are consistently competitive. And I think Google has gotten good enough that you simply can't do that without access to some portion of their moutains of data. Nobody else has search history for every single American, and without that you are going to be crippled when {Random American} tries to search for something.

The issue comes if someone steals it from your porch and then you claim that you never received it.

Unless you give them permission to basically sign it in your behalf through giving them the power of attorney.

You're more likely to touch more files if they are all in the same repository. All of the issues are going to be in the same issue tracker (tags can help, but only if you know how to use them well, and that causes overhead for the maintainers), and all of the Pull Requests are going to notify everyone who is watching the repository, whether it's relevant to the part you care about or not.

I agree. You often want to parse and/or generate configuration files programmatically. For these cases it's good if parsing and interpretation of the file format can be easily implemented (or is already implemented in high quality). YAML has a quite big featureset and definitely doesn't fall into the "easy to parse" category. I'm also quite happy with using TOML for configuration files for these reasons.
