I think a good way to think about emotions and feelings is by strictly separating them conceptually: Feelings are bodily effects like fear, anger, hunger, arousal... while emotions are learned acts of communication. Emotions are interpretations of feelings and Emotions are communicated feelings, arranged in complex patterns or "scripts" that are culturally highly variable. So you could say that all emotions (outward, visible acts of communication) are based on more "invisible" feelings. Take mourning for example. The feelings are a mixture of fear, but how you mourn is extremely variable over cultures, times and even intrapersonally. Emotions have to be learned, feelings are the raw material or puzzle pieces the body/mind offers from birth.

The foundation DSGE models are nothing like regular statistical or machine learning models. They are general equilibrium models, a type of mathematical model the falls under the microeconomics area of economics.
DSGE try to predict how an economical system will evolve over time, given agents preferences, technologies and institutions, how much will be produced, consumed, traded, prices and how those behave over time, taking into account stochastic impacts, like idk oil price fluctuation.
They are beautiful theoretically, since they are micro constructed. See, economists don't like to use aggregates only to make predictions and infer policy impacts due to something called Lucas critique ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_critique ) which basically means that taking an inflation series create an ARIMA(x,y,z) to predict next weeks CPI is theoretically. invalid.

The estimation however, is usually based on Bayesian hierarchical models, taking the constraints imposed by the theoretical model, I believe.

Here is a good source for that
https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff...

DSGE have been criticized for their low predictive power, but it can be said that in that for mid to long term predictions they are more robust for monetary and fiscal policy use.
I've worked in financial firms my whole career, and I agree.

Excel is useful in one particular case only: when you don't want to build a GUI. It's great as a not-very-pretty interface for functionality written in DLLs.

For any process that's well thought out, you can write a Python script if it's not time critical. And it probably isn't if you were doing it in Excel.

The main problem with Excel is it's too easy to write an ad-hoc fix. Sounds like a weird reason, but in finance they just pile up and up and up. Finance Excel users also tend to know just enough coding to dig a huge hole, and just little enough to not understand this. Soon you have an unauditable mess, and the business is almost never going to spend time paying up technical debt.

There's also the philosophical issue of ever more complex models. If you have some sane coding practices, you will tend to favour more elegant code. Balls of spaghetti are more obvious in something like Python. More elegant code is connected to more elegant models. Inelegant models, such as the ones often bragged about by M&A guys (let's be honest, they're sales tools, not predictions) when written into an ordinary language, will look like the balls of spaghetti that they are.

GNUStep is not a drop in replacement for OS X. Among other things, every framework isn't available. It's also only API compatible (or striving for) with OpenStep, which is, now, a subset of what OS X provides. It's not binary compatible, so at a minimum your OS X apps need a recompile. More likely, they need porting. They also went with a different look and feel than what OS X has.

Etoile attempted to provide something closer to the OS X experience, but there seems to have been very little movement recently, and it had its own ideas (some pretty interesting ones, actually).

Fair point. Counterpoint: If you commute by private car, how often can you expect to get into a wreck?

I know plenty of people who are terrified of driving in the same way some posters here are terrified of urban crime. It all comes down to what environments you're used to. If you're used to driving down a freeway, you'll routinize and minimize the risk of being in a collision. If you're used to city life, you'll routinize and minimize the risk of being mugged.

Also, once again, transit does not have to mean high crime. You're describing crappy transit systems. So let's improve those.

> wouldn't a really smart compiler be able to do the same thing?

Well compilers are tied to the language they need to compile so language choice does still matters. As an extreme example, GHC can be much more aggressive with inlining because it's pure, whereas most other languages don't provide the same guarantees.

> And if you have to be able to write 'some parts' in C for speed ... then why not just use C? And have nice libs for whatever you are doing?

Yes I think they could do that, but then they'd need people to write and maintain those libraries. My understanding is they want to find something which strikes a better balance between productivity and speed. Having to write your own libraries to do everything is likely considered a productivity loss.
Well - that's my point. I do use a converter, as it's built into python at every intersection that I need it, reading CSV, XLSX, database calls, etc.

Having to stick python scripts in front of all my Julia scripts everywhere that it would perform data access doesn't really seem viable. Thus, my beef with Julia.
Remember that these people use a language that might sound similar to common english, but words have different meaning and it is much more precise. No reading between the lines.

He gave an example of what would falsify his theory, that is all.
I'm not sure I understand your deal breaker. For the platform he was targeting it produces optimal code, for other platforms it's merely slower (but not specifically slower, since the compiler is likely not a great optimizer across the board).

Vectorization is in general not applicable here since it usually requires aligned memory... not all implementations do, but most. In any case, benchmarking is more appropriate than armchair optimizing.
I don't agree. Did you ever take a good look into FP? Start with Functors and Monads and wander deep down the path to category theory...

Despite your very clear explanation, I'm still confused by:

> > But it gets even more confusing when they say "we credited your account" or "your account was debited".

> From your business's perspective, your bank account is an asset, so when they deposit into it, then its value increases, hence "debit".

Is it correct that the 'you' of the first post, in "your account was debited" (me the non-business owner), is the 'they' in the second post, of "when they deposit into it" (written from the perspective of the business owner, so that 'you' is no longer me)?

Let's assume, "Just about every tech company requires, and will enforce to the fullest extent, non-competes," is true.

Why does that mean, the Midwest/Ohio is "no where close to being the next silicone valley." The "e" in "silicone" is yours.

Non-competes are flimsy at best and it really comes down to your ability to litigate.

I remember showing my "systems analyst" brother-in-law my second year university schedule when I was planning which courses I would take that fall.

"You don't have any Cobol, PL/1, OS360 Assembly Language or APL on here", he observed.

"I am going to focus on C, Unix and operating systems. I want to write compilers for microprocessor based computers".

When he finished laughing, he called me "unemployable" and said, "microprocessors will never be used for anything but toys. Take COBOL!"

Since then, I have made a point of not even looking at COBOL code. I have been in the presence of COBOL, but have averted my eyes.
I completely agree with this approach. Also I wanted to add that I know it feels hard and at times it is but starting small and finding a niche that doesn't feel so hard is also an option. You don't need to be a developer to make a living, you can also be a system admin, tech support or a bunch of different things and that could then become your '20 hours a week as a ____' as mentioned above, while you keep working on becoming a developer.
Just to tie this off:

It seems there are three main ways to monetise credit card / account data:

1. aggregate into a mule account

2. aggregate into an international account

3. extract cash via ATMs / payments

All three suffer from a high propensity to trigger alerts, and so rely on a fairly sophisticated understanding of each banks trigger rates.

So back in 2010 some banks could be hit with a flash attack (4) where hundreds of debit transactions for similar amounts at same time would not trigger stops (one assumes the debit approval infrastructure was fast and in memory and only went back to the ledger every five mins)

So as attackers find new vulnerabilities banks apply new systems.

> It feels like how the DOM API should have been implemented.

It doesn't look general enough to be a general-purpose API, for instance how would you look up an attribute on all <class> elements?

I tend to think of APIs like this as "application-grade". You could use it fine in the context of an application, where you know you will never have a DOM element named 'class' or any other edge case inputs, but you shouldn't build abstractions on top of it, because sooner or later a user will have an element named 'id', 'class' or 'attr', and your code will break.

The DOM API is verbose but explicit and consistent, you can write libraries like this without worrying much about leaking abstractions due to edge cases.
Here's a couple of things you can try:

* Drop linux on it with a simple GUI on it and lock the machine down. Don't give him root access or admin rights. Make sure the machine updates and backs itself up without intervention.
* Set up his browsing inside a vm that gets recreated on boot (any host OS, linux as guest would be ideal but any will do).

> Does this imply that the major libraries will all have to be overhauled to make them async-compatible?

well, "have to" implies that the community accepts this system as the One True Way to program. Which is why I like to point out that this is unwarranted (but yes, because the explicit async model is what I like to call "viral", in that anything that calls async IO must itself be async, so must the caller of that method be async, and turtles all the way out, it means an enormous amount of code has to be thrown out and written in the explicit async style which also adds significant function call / generator overhead to everything - it's basically a disaster).

It's very interesting that you refer to database driven programming as the reason OOP is out of fashion, since IMO one of the biggest misconceptions about async programming is that it is at all appropriate for communciation with a locally available relational database. I wrote in depth on this topic here: http://techspot.zzzeek.org/2015/02/15/asynchronous-python-an... with the goal of the post being, this is the one time I'm going to have to talk about async :)
