The documentation is all maintained in Markdown and built with Jekyll, so it's pretty straightforward. There were a few custom Jekyll tags. For writing, I used the venerable Mac editor BBEdit; obviously any text editor can do a fine job here, but there are some subtleties in BBEdit I liked. Its "open file by name" command can open multiple files with the same name at once, for instance, and its find/replace functionality goes above and beyond the call of duty.

For books/guides, it's hard to say. Find documentation you like a lot and think about what makes it good--the organization/taxonomy is really important to pay attention to, as well as the tone (formal, conversational, weird, etc.). As shocking as this might be around here, the _Microsoft Manual of Style_ is useful as a specifically technical guide, and it's good to have a relative recent edition of the _Chicago Manual of Style_ kicking around as a reference. And, just being familiar with standard grammar and punctuation rules is important. A lot of people aren't. (A lot of people who aren't still think they are.)
Apparently, even discussing the issue is no longer permitted. We've flown way past offense, deep into taboo territory.
To put it the other way around, that's either the position of the barycenter relative to the sun, or the position of the sun relative to the barycenter. If you're going to pick one and say it's not moving, the barycenter is a good choice. The barycenter only moves relative to the rest of the galaxy.
Why is atoa() being used on arguments? You can pass an arguments object to apply(). It even avoids deoptimization (at least on V8), IIRC. (No explanation at https://github.com/bevacqua/react-dragula/commit/916c5fe4900...)
Something similar works when coding too: begin with ugly code that only solves a simple case. Then keep iterating and refactoring until it is good. Trying to get it right from the beginning just means you don't get started.
Is there a feature to block any and all recruiters from contacting you?
This will not work.

The Toll by Mail program that runs on the West Side Highway does not work well for out of state drivers that do not have ezpass

What happens is that after you drive through it, you will receive your first notice in the mail in bright orange saying its your third notice. This final notice will say that you owe $100 fine instead of the $4-$8 you would normally be charged.

EZpass provides no support for people who are not customers. You have to send a fax trying to dispute these claims. It is a real pain to use any of the recognition systems.
Here here.

People see science as this "amoral entity" that generates truth, and anyone who opposes it to be the anti-Christ of societal progress. You have to understand that people are behind science, and people are flawed.

In other words, statistics don't lie. But the people who collect them do.
> So you're saying Linux didn't advance in the last few years?

Linux advanced significantly more under sysvinit than systemd, so does this mean sysvinit is superior to systemd?

> Not breaking and being very unstable is a start

When it works, it works fine. When it breaks, it's very hard to debug. There's plenty of articles out there about this. Even the original article which spawns this talks about the same types of problems - "we have to mask it, not disable it, because <xyz>", or "end users will have to be responsible for masking this service", or "when it was just bash scripts, we didn't have to worry about order".

> There's a large, silent majority of systemd users who run into no issues at all.

Can be equally said about sysvinit and upstart. Does that mean they are just as good as systemd?

My two cents: Developers love systemd; its one more thing they can abstract away and mostly not deal with. People who have to troubleshoot problems with systemd don't feel nearly as charitable towards it.
Isn't it kind of perverse in a way that all this CS talent is going towards supporting a company whose primary purpose is to mine your data and create profiles about your habits and needs?

That strikes me as being very similar to the Part Design Workbench of FreeCAD which uses the Sketcher and constraint solver. Anyone have more details on a comparison of Solvespace and FreeCAD?

Heliocentric system flew in the face of the bible, and that created the problem.

Rather, in the face of a specific interpretation of the Bible. There are other literal interpretations of the Bible that are much more in tune with scientific knowledge of astronomy and origins, but they are not well-understood among less educated religious folk that follow the Bible. Likewise, certain interpretations of the Koran lead to terrorism, while other interpretations don't. It's interpretation that matters, especially if believers insist on literal interpretations. Sadly, few people are willing to be open-minded enough to consider the possibilities, and that often goes for all sides of a debate.
The actual problem is that less sugar enters the blood stream than is tasted. The real solutions are really unexciting, like eating fewer sweetened foods, and eating foods sweetened with natural sugar.

Honestly, my biggest take away from the research is that there is no substitute for eating healthy. For instance, vitamin supplements don't appear to convey the same health benefits as consuming the vitamins in foods in which they naturally occur. There are a lot of reasons for this, but what my take away was that it is easier to eat a balanced diet, than it is to eat a poor diet and then fix it through science. Same goes for health in general really -- it's better to take steps to stay healthy, than it is to lose your health and try to get it back.
That's a good point, but I would hope employers would be able to distinguish situations clearly created solely on:

a) the upper management level (Wells Fargo, Theranos)

from:

b) the employee level, whereby the employees themselves use private data for advantage and personal gain - DraftKings comes to mind here[0][1]

My experience is, I can still have: blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries (well, some), a little bit of apple (we're talking about splitting a tart apple half with wife), and some grapes.

It's not 100% true, but the more tart, the better in terms of sugars. More fiber also helps slow down absorption... But 10g fructose = 10g fructose, no matter what else you put with it.

EDIT: I figured these out the hard way. Go get a cheap glucometer. ReliOn brand is good at Wal-Mart. $25 meter, 9$/50 strips. And eat foods you like. Test before you eat, and 1/2 hour increments afterwards for 2 hours. Wash-rinse-repeat :) Make your own decisions based on your own health data.
This sounds more like a feature of the SF Bay area tech scene rather than Google in particular.

Many young skinny-jeans-wearing progressives here quite openly harbor grossly ignorant steroetypes of a wide variety of unacceptable cultures: the south, the midwest, Republicans, Christians, and conservatives, among others.

When challenged, they typically deny that their cartoonish, caricatured views of these groups are stereotypes, and insist that that's simply the way it is.

Just wearing a button-down shirt (or, God forbid, a tie) is more than enough to stigmatize you as "one of them" and get you instantly ostracized (while they simultaneously loudly trumpet the value of diversity and tolerance.)
Oh, please. First, the article quotes the opposition of only one person, and from that it doesn't follow its title at all. The realistic title would be "The Opposition to Galileo also at least once appeared as scientific, not just religious."

Now why I say "appeared" there? Because the arguments quoted in the text "looking through the telescopes it appeared that epicycles existed" isn't "scientifically" meaningful argument. As soon as we accept the relativity of motion, it's clear how meaningless the statement "it looks so from here" is.

Moreover, "scientific opposition" doesn't result in the house arrest by the church.

Both the Bible and that-other-newer-book- which-is-not-politically-correct-to-be-named have the verses that reflect the false understanding of the nature, and that is indisputable. It's true that there are today enough people that don't take these verses seriously, but in fact, the reasonable people did so, like seen in the article, already at least some 400 years ago.

Good for us, because otherwise most of us would be peasants today.
God bless good journalism.
But ask yourself: how does your browser layout engine and scripting engine work? Is CSS some sort of self-hosting language that just materialized out of nowhere? Or there's somewhere a group of people responsible for it? (e.g: Google's Chromium team, Mozilla's Firefox team, Apple's Safari team, Microsoft's Edge team, etc.) Those people DO need to know data structures.

For you to be able to focus on CSS, HTML and JavaScript, someone, somewhere needs to make CSS, HTML and JavaScript work for you in the first place.
No, excommunication simply means being outside the sacraments. It had nothing to do with public society.

Galileo was under house arrest at some point, but that had no canonical relation to any excommunication.

The first paragraph in your post can just as easily be applied to the idea of no regulation.

Without regulations you have corporate anarchy and an impotent and uninformed consumer base. Free-market capitalism naturally gravitates towards monopolies without a regulatory body to step in an attempt to preserve fair competition.

Regulation can be used to entrench big players that is true, but it can also be used to prevent entrenchment. The trick is finding a nice balance and it is an ongoing struggle.

And this;

Regulation always increases; it never declines

Is clearly untrue, as it was a series of deregulations of the financial services industry beginning with Reagan's clown-act presidency that led to our last financial crash. Protections put in place in the decades before were set up to prevent exactly the problems we have faced over the last few years.
I think the GP's post originally said 10 GB.
I think the point was to note that this isn't a new article.

Also Julia has had several bug fixes and a minor version bump (with some major changes) since the article was written.
It's not that the barycenter is moving, it's that the orbit of the sun is not even remotely circular. The barycenter only moves in response to forces outside the solar system (the galaxy).

On the other hand, if you look at the barycenter of, say, Earth + Sun, then that barycenter will move around because there are a bunch of other planets involved. But the barycenter of the solar system is more stable, due to the conservation of momentum and all that, and the distance from the solar system to the nearest objects that would influence it.
They stopped emailing me when I told them they were mailing the wrong person with my name. It helped that they were actually trying to reach someone else, they referenced "my" experience at a company I've never worked for, and I found a blog post for that company by another person with my name.
But the "--master local[1]" setting they're using for Spark will run it on a single thread.

And, in the article they state "The algorithm took around 500 seconds to train on the NETFLIX dataset on a SINGLE processor, which is good for data as large as 1 billion ratings."

Because I saw the comment in the thread and since I made the grandparent comment that means I can see it? I know this might be a shock but I'm going to comment on your comment just as well if I think it's dead wrong or interesting. Don't like it? Then don't post comments as they're not private. But trying to concoct some conspiracy theory isn't going to garner anything close to a friendly conversation.
Where do you draw the line between basic life skills that schools ought to teach you and the skills that parents should teach you? And why is the idea of overlap a bad one?

Because of their obssession with the West - not respect, obssession - which is the point I've been trying to make.

Well, I sometimes browse through the headlines and comments on /r/worldnews, which I think gives a good idea of what Americans think of current world issues.

Hah, Fujairah is a nice little town. Long time since I passed by as it's kind of out of the way of everything else.
By definition a barycenter is a center of mass, so since a barycenter itself has no mass, it would not have it's own barycenter.

It could have a "mean location" though!

In my experience Google NYC attracts a lot of people who are very cynical about the stereotypical bay area tech culture. I get the impression there is a lot less cool-aid being drunk here but then again I've never lived in the bay so I can't really compare.

Preface: I'm not saying "coupling" is good.

Doesn't npm manage transitive dependencies, just like Maven in Java-land? I sure thought it did. Are package maintainers just not getting their dependencies right? E.g. - "everybody" uses jQuery, it will just be there, I'm not going to list it.

I have only used Node/NPM a little bit at home. Most of my JS work has been some things embedded within larger Java web apps, and my coworkers don't really like JS (they are wanting to do static-OOP where dynamic-FP fits better).
We wanted to do this on a true distributed setup. However, all the largest datasets we could find where everyone has run ALS just fit on a single machine (even with lesser RAM than this one).

That's not a good analogy. Photoshop is a specific tool, specific to one industry. I think a better analogy would be something like the concept of negative space, or color theory.

Actually, the article is about working around problems encountered integrating nfs with systemd. They were charitable enough to not use that kind of phrasing, but everything they talked about had to do with fixing new problems brought forth by using systemd at the upstream layer, so those downstream don't have to worry about it (but admitting that there are still some steps which have to be undertaken by the end user to avoid unnecessarily starting the rpcbind service).

They could have easily written this same article when nfs first came out and they were working through their default sysvinit scripts.
A far better example would have been trigonometry, or the quadratic formula, or the belligerents of the war of 1812. All of them fascinating subjects, but unlike, say, arithmetic, or compound interest, or a basic understanding of your country's legal system, they are not critical to survival in the modern world. Not to mention that thanks to teach-to-the-standardized-test, students are are criminally underserved in their exposure to them.

I think what most people would define as the "Common Core" of education should be greatly reduced. Instead of keeping students busy by teaching only the very basics of a topic (Oftentimes these basics are also wrong - precisely because there isn't time to dive into the nuances), and then testing them on the memorization of what ends up being largely pointless trivia, we should be taking that time, and push them towards deeper, focused study of subjects that interest them.

If you want to become an engineer, the standard K-12 mathematical education will suit you poorly. If you want to become a photographer, it will also suit you poorly, for entirely different reasons.
Computational complexity vs. runtime complexity: while the details are irrelevant for computational complexity, as you say, the runtime complexity is a different matter, because the execution environment (disk, cache, etc.) has been optimized to deliver better performance for certain types of operations.

In the real world, it may thus be better to use a computationally more complex algorithm than a computationally simpler one in certain cases, if you happen to have a system that delivers big enough optimizations for the complex algorithm.
This is the standard with commercial CAD packages like Solidworks/AutoCAD because it's much more effective for the part design process than manual drafting. I can't really think of any paremetric CAD packages that aren't also constraint based.

I was a 6502 man at the time - still looking down on all the Z80s. I eventually put a Z80 card in my Apple ][ to run CP/M but it felt dirty.
The Spark comparison, given the April 2016 posting of the article, was likely done with Spark 1.6. Spark 2.0, released in July, added significant performance improvements (https://docs.cloud.databricks.com/docs/latest/sample_applica...), so it is possible the performance difference may be different nowadays.
It really is the best DB I've ever used. Would love to support the project with donations if that were possible.
I tl;dr'ed the article (sorry), but I wanted to say one thing about epicycles. They are not wrong and certainly can be used to explain motion, but the problem with them is that you can keep adding epicycles to fit any continuous orbit at all (this actually is because a Fourier series can converge to any continuous periodic function). This is my favourite visualisation of this fact:

I first heard this expression in Russian, "первый блин комом", is it actually used in English as well?

And yet, people complain about how expensive an Apple computer is- when they are cheaper than ever. A fully loaded Macbook Pro with every option is still less than the entry "business model" of any of these computers in 1980
I'm 6'5", at time of type 2 diagnosis, I was 320 lbs, 44" waistline, a1c=7.1, fasting glucose=161 mG/dL . That was last December. They caught it in time before I really had many symptoms, although I was starting to get erectile dysfunction (one of the first things to cause problems, BTW).

Fast forward to now. 260 lbs, waver between 36" and 38" waistline, and feel better than I have in decades.

My only problem is my stomach is a perfect sensor for "Hidden Carbs". I'll get wonderful things like stomach pains and bad indigestion over things like flour in gravies or sauces, or hidden corn starch, or sugar sprayed on salads.

Now, Metformin. I have a prescription for it. I don't need to take it, UNLESS I'm eating somewhere I cannot control my carb load, let alone know what my carb load is. Holidays are notorious about this, as are buffets and similar places. My solution is, I take metformin before I go to sleep the day before, through the whole day of, and 1 pill the morning after. It effectively is a form of a PID control loop for glucose.... which is what I need.
Commits should be long and detailed, though the details for the commit log are for a different purpose. In the commit logs I want to know why the change was developed -- what issue it fixed, what feature request it implements. I want the code comments to explain the logic of a large chunk of code, at a higher level than just reading line by line.
Whoever ends up acquiring it, will do so as a proxy for Palantir or other intel gathering endpoints. Twitters only true value is in the amount of data/intelligence it can contribute to the puzzle that is linkability in the intelligence communities.
It's hard (not impossible) to avoid this with some user interface code, due to the amount of connected, stateful cruft (hopefully the state is pushed out to the edges, but it has to be there somewhere).

I do appreciate little utility libraries like Ramdajs and Validatejs, though.

This article was a nice reminder to make the attempt to decouple small plugins, though. I like the idea of the base module + alternate framework adapters.

There's a lot of research that shows these open and collaborative environments help kids learn. We can't really dispute that, but I'd be inclined to believe that is because the majority of people are extroverts in the first place.

There is another trend of personalizing, tailoring education for each individual student where this would be less of an issue. Hopefully technology makes it more feasible.
No, but it should be a reasonably straightforward port.
A personal joke is that when I was young I liked to write code, nowadays I find deleting code much more satisfying.

Less code = less complexity, less side effects, less maintenance, and less bugs.

Sure, you have to do it without loosing any useful functionality. As a software ages, it becomes bloated, there is a lot of copy'n paste, features aren't useful anymore because the business changed.
Am a virologist, and this is over-hyped, but not for that reason. The PKR/dsRNA response pathway is activated by a number of non-dsRNA viruses. There are double-stranded intermediates for lots of viruses, including herpesviruses, that we don't necessarily appreciate or know exactly how they're activated.

The major issue is that these are macromolecules, and it is incredibly difficult to deliver these in vivo. Every pharmaceutical encounters this problem, and the fact that it isn't really addressed is probably why no companies are biting.

There is some mouse data in the (single) paper, but it is missing some important controls. 1. He never shows that the protein makes it into the cells of the liver/kidney/lung/etc, just that there is some identifiable protein in the organs, and 2. he doesn't control for general immune activation from the injection of the protein, even though he has a control DRACO in the tissue culture experiments.

Also, though it may be overkill, he never shows IFAs of the actual DRACO protein inside the cells from tissue culture.
Bonus points, give an intuitive explanation for why it is the dual of an LQR control problem.
Belief virtually requires a closed mind, since an open mind would allow observation that contradicts the belief. It's not sad, it's a feature.
