I'm a huge fan of the rest of this Coursera specialization (or was, until they started charging to submit assignments for it mid-specialization, but I digress...)

Carlos and Emily do a great job diving deeper than most other online courses into the math behind different algorithms without making the math too theoretical. I'm a grad student in engineering, so I wanted to understand not only how to run these algorithms but also how they work and these courses were great for learning in a mathematically rigorous but still approachable sort of way.

The only criticism I've heard of this series is that it uses Turi/Dato/Graphlab instead of SciKit-Learn. I did the courses that exist so far using GraphLab, but I'm starting to redo the assignments using SciKit now so that I learn that toolkit as well.

Out of curiosity, what operating system and screen reader(s) are you using?

As a partially sighted developer, I generally use a screen reader for web browsing and email, but read the screen visually for my actual programming work. So I don't have significant first-hand experience with the accessibility (or lack thereof) of development tools. But some of my totally blind programmer friends have expressed some frustration with the accessibility of some tools, especially web applications. They generally use Windows with NVDA (http://www.nvaccess.org/). At least with NVDA, you can write add-ons (in Python) to help with specific applications and tasks.

What Does It Mean to Be Cool? It May Not Be What You Think (2012)
Need me one of those for internet comments.
That's sort of a different problem. I often think of comments as "why" and code as "how" (or "what" if you're declarative). If how breaks, then the code breaks, so you have immediate feedback. But if why breaks - like if your reasons for writing it that way no longer apply - then it's impossible to recognize immediately. If there were instead a way to codify the assumptions behind why, such that the why statements would break when the assumptions become false, that would be interesting.

But at any rate, why is relevant, and code doesn't express the why.
I worked for a company that specialized in design/build of interactive science exhibits globally and while I wasn't directly involved with creative being in proximity to the day-to-day process gave the opportunity to think deeply about where the museum experience's relevance is moving in society (especially in the context of "digital native" generations). I think there is a huge opportunity for a software platform to offer "relevance as a service" to museums. Not at all to imply that "relevance can simply be purchased, plug-n-play" but that a well-designed software platform could present the opportunity for museums to build relevance into the lives of its eventual visitors by connecting with them and providing meaningful experience's in various digital realms far before their actual brick-and-mortar visit. In my mind the company that builds this platform looks less like a communications company and more like Disney/Pixar. It would build, as some of its primary assets, characters (not unlike a Disney character) that have their own personalities. These personalities would have child-friendly conversational AI. This company would work with educators in the communities to craft supplementary education experience's using these characters. These experiences would be accessible free to the students via any mobile device or VR/AR. Eventually the company will have created narratives and personalities that are contextualizing topics which are usually somewhat abstract, like history or science. Then this company would work with museums to integrate this ongoing narrative into the museums exhibits. Perhaps the virtual characters would extend their presence into the museum with ready-made, indivualized tours for each student based on their shown interests. Ultimately the company will have built a platform which could offer up freemium and premium services and content to both museums and parents wanting to supplement their child's education (think Leapfrog).

I know there is resistance to the idea of "edutainment" sometimes but I think the idea isn't "to stay relevant we must entertain" but instead "to stay relevant we must verse ourselves in today's prevailing medium". With digital natives, it is more true than ever, that the medium is the message. If the museums message is so antiquated as to ask the visitor to bend to its form in order to derive relevance it will loose out to more accommodative formats.

I hope Acer is going to update it with newest Nvidia/AMD cards which will make it a perfect graphics dock choice, not so large and expensive as Razer, AKiTiO Thunder3 and other ridiculous boxes.
Probably not. Just focusing on the touchbar, when using the laptop alone I think looking up and down would hurt my neck. When using it with an external monitor I will be using my other keyboard instead.

I do like the fact that it supports up to 5K displays, but I will need to save up to buy the display first. =)
This comment suggests you did not read the article. The article directly contradicts your assertions.

In talking about how Japanese teaching methods are better than American teaching methods, it states: "Similarly, 96 percent of American students’ work fell into the category of “practice,” while Japanese students spent only 41 percent of their time practicing."
>If we get 0.01% of eyeballs to our "bad" links converted as sales, that's still better than zero.

Where did you get the 0.01% from ? That sounds like a rather high number.

>It will make the search results worse. Keeping the algorithms and heuristics a secret is a valid way to fight abusive gaming of the system.

I understand that this is your opinion. Thankfully, there is no evidence that this is true.
Yeah, decision trees really shouldn't be used in practice. The variance of any single decision tree is too high to give you reasonable results.

So on the timing....there's an interesting backstory here. James Comey was a lifelong Republican until this year [1]. He appears to be a Republican in the "never Trump" camp. Prior to the public disclosure of Comey's recommendation that Clinton not be prosecuted, Loretta Lynch publicly stated that she would try to appear impartial by going with whatever the FBI recommended. This effectively put Comey - a "never Trump" man - in the position of appointing the next President of the United States. If he had elected to recommend prosecution, Trump was the guaranteed winner. If he didn't, most realized that Clinton would beat Trump.

Perhaps this "reopening" is more the result of an attack of conscience than of the significance of any new information. It's possible that this is a halfhearted attempt to do what many legal experts considered to be the right thing in the first place.

It's not just the website, it's all the code behind the services. Plenty of city websites here in Michigan don't offer translation or let you pay for (or dispute) things like parking tickets.

I realize that they will have to hire someone to write the glue code to integrate into the individual city's systems, but I'd be willing to bet it might not be more than they paid a designer to build their existing site.

In fact someone might be able to build an entire consulting service around this code base.

Spreading online serve yourself functionality for everyone, not just those in larger cities might be Boston.gov's enduring legacy.
Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of as well. Even Douglas Crawford had high praises for Rebol, but the language failed to go mainstream, and died a long and agonizing death. Lack of adoption = obscurity, lack of long term development and funding.

There is a single quote from a single lawyer and all it says is that he thinks it is a violation. There is nothing from the lawyer concerning targeted advertising specifically. From my point of view, he saw the UI screenshot and screamed that it was a violation without any further research (the article backs this up since it says he gasped and immediately responded).

I don't find that a very convincing legal assessment and the article seems to assume that it is violating the act due to that statement with no proof or reasoning backing it up.

Edit: To me, this is no different from choosing to mail advertisements to various zip codes or neighborhoods based on demographics.

For me, hacking is about understanding systems and altering them in a way they behave favourably to you. The right thing to do when a regulator fires letters to you is to build a firewall of managers and/or lawayers to ensure they don't penetrate the hacking activity.

I've been involved in writing similar descriptions to provide to NASA, and when you get down to exactly how each module works and need to enumerate every branch, it ends up being a lot of work.
I'm not blind but here's an (unsolicited) project idea for you.

To be candid, I have no idea what it feels like to be blind and have never paid much attention to accessibility other than reading a tutorial or two and making sure I use alt tags on my images. The main reason for that is that I'm lazy and based on my experience, most developers are in the same boat.

Now, if there was a service which would spin up a remote VM session inside my browser (a bit like BrowserStack or SauceLabs do) with all screen reader software setup and no screen (only audio), it'd make it a lot easier for me to experience my software as a blind user. There should probably also be a walkthrough to help new users use the screen reader and help them get started. If you're lucky, you could turn this into a business and it could indirectly help you achieve your goal of making better software for the blind by exposing more of us to your issues.

Anyways, I know you probably have more pressing issues to solve and I hope I didn't come across as arrogant, just throwing the idea out there.
What other source did you get this information from?
How are the 3 emails on Weiner's device tied to the Clinton investigation?

This NYT article just has an anonymous "federal official" saying "thousands" of emails. But given the official in question's anonymity, we don't know if they have a political axe to grind and are spinning quotes for maximum disfavorability to Clinton, etc.

There seems to be an assumption of full-time drivers implicit in your message. Uber drivers may only be driving a couple of hours a month. What does rest mean when someone can stop working at any time?

The positive I see in the so-called gig economy is far more flexibility in employing underutilised labour. If government increases the transaction costs of employing underutilised labour, then it will probably stop employing underutilised labour. It could easily be a net negative.

If there's an efficient way of working it out - i.e. keeping the transaction costs low - I'm not against regulating Uber as an employer. But it is a different form of working, and it's the kind of working that connected communication technology is best positioned to enable. It would be best if we didn't crush it under an assumption of regular employment.
I think the general concern is both that the IoT devices provide incredibly poor security combined with the general availability of personal information getting tied across the IoT infrastructure. Federated Facebook/G+ logins for IoT devices are just around the corner, if they're not already here, and more and more IoT devices show up on Shodan every day.

I will concur the article is a bit of IoT fear mongering combine with general paranoia over the current state of web services, but it's not really like this is much of a stretch for the near future.
A lot of interesting ideas are implemented in this version of Eve, but there are two goals (both implied and made explicit in various places) for "programming designed for humans":

- Make it easier for non-programmers to program

- Make it easier for programmers to program

While I can see that the current roadmap advances toward both those goals, I don't see what the Eve team plans to do when those two goals start pulling in opposite directions.

Will Eve be kept simple and a second UI be created for programmers? Or will Eve continue to be the programmers' tool, and a second UI be created for non-programmers in mind?

The alternative of keeping a single tool for both audiences makes me shudder, as it will literally end up being "code in Word". It is precisely because Word tries to be all things to all people writing prose that it is such a bloated mess (granted, it isn't the only reason, but it is a major one).

I'm not even certain whether a UX for non-programmers would just a subset of the one for programmers, or if there are likely to be features specific to non-programmers.
Thanks for the consideration on your words!! Actually, I considered this idea about 4 years ago and dismissed as "too late to such a career change, although I'm sure if I was 20 again I would be a developer". I spent a few months learning C#, .NET and managed to build a very small, chaotic, badly coded, badly designed, but functional web app! And these months are still today among the happiest of my life at work.

Now I successively quit two jobs in a 3 months period. I was starting to once again decide if I wanted to found something or look for a job, then I realized I actually wanted to be a developer. So it is a mature decision.

Also, I am between jobs, so not much of an impact to go full-time on this path right now.

And thanks for the learning tips.
While that's a great idea, it assumes that people have control over their work environment, which they typically don't. That's why I'm sitting at a flimsy Ikea desk with about 20 square feet of space to myself.
All the 33k 'missing' Clinton emails are available in Utah complimentary by NSA Cloud. Not sure why they haven't accessed them by this point.

No reason to suppress the truth. Hopefully investigators access them eventually and investigate them as they legally should.
The best way to learn is by doing, imo. Just go join a kaggle competition. Maybe people know others it is so easy to partake in?

The unexpected thing is that it isn't a "distro" it is part of Windows 10. Microsoft created a kernel shim, which is part of the standard release now, that creates a Linux ABI into the NT kernel. As a result, Linux userland code just assumes its running on Ubuntu and as far as I have been able to ascertain it just works. All my bash scripts, all my perl code, all my python code, just runs.

That said, I've not used tools that open windows so I've been all command line.

It may have been part of the strategy all along. I always found the schedule really aggressive. He announced it with big fanfare in late summer at TC Disrupt with availability end of 2016. I don't think he ever thought that was realistic.
Great job of laying this out. It highlights how important the edge cases are. People wonder, why do we spend so much time on our financial code even though the base case is simple. It's that the amount of edge cases is insane.
I see, then you seem to be a person who makes wild claims and pastes random links in their comments unrelated to anything. In that case its easier to just ignore you. Thanks for clarifying that.
I don't like them because they require a lot of time and patience, but if I'm not mistaken, if you pick the right set of hardware, you don't really need any additional drivers, and those machines can update fine (or at least they used to - it's been over a year since I checked this stuff out).

Most people use the OS installers downloaded from their own App store account and make a boot key so those should be safe too.

>Target market is not programs

Github is the most terrifying place on the internet for 90% of users (non-developers). I cannot stand when a project is trying to market to regular users but hosts any content on github. I get that this is an early alpha, but come on..
Giving a little more context, quoting another comment of mine: I considered this idea about 4 years ago and dismissed as "too late to such a career change, although I'm sure if I was 20 again I would be a developer".

Your tip on learning properly about software development before trying to make things happen through Stack-Overflown is very valuable! I can attest that by personal experience!
> You are misunderstanding the word 'constitution'.

If you want to use that word in an unusual way, that's fine; but I didn't understand that that's how you were using it in reference to regulatory bodies created by US statutes. ("Statute", btw, is the usual way of referring to laws that tell what regulatory bodies can and should do.)

> You know dude, I'm not really sure you know how the government functions.

You know, I'm not really sure you know how to describe how the government functions using proper terminology. If you had said "statute" in the first place, which, as above, is the correct term for what you are referring to, I would have understood what you said right away. But you didn't.

> Your representatives create and modify acts that allocate funds to fund regulatory bodies to enforce laws.

Yes, and these are called "statutes", not a "constitution".
>Potential violations of statues, without criminal intent ≠ "inarguably highly illegal things".

One does not need to intend to do something for it to be highly illegal. There is an absolute boat load of cases where people did 1/10th of what Hillary did, without any proven intent, and went to prison for it. Thousands of people are prosecuted every day by our criminal justice system without any intent.

And in the same quote: "potential violations". He completely dodged having to explicitly say that it was illegal, which anyone with a security clearance can plainly tell you. The only reason he didn't explicitly say she didn't break the law was because it would be a lie that he even couldn't pull off.

It is so blindingly obvious that this is a load of horse shit. He is being vague, misleading, and deliberately obtuse.

How is this better? I don't have to look at the keyboard to perform chords. With no tactile feedback, I certainly have to look at the touch bar.

What's more, common actions usually have high-priority, simple chords (cmd-c/cmd-v, for example) --- whereas complex chords are used for infrequent commands (cmd-alt-shift-c to re-assign the origin in blender, for example). If we're going to surface commands in the touch bar, intuition says to surface the common commands, and leave infrequent ones tucked away, meaning that even with the touch bar you don't have quick or simple access to those commands.
