I've received offers from companies in Denmark, Ireland and Netherlands. They did not care about the lack of a formal degree and they would sponsor a work VISA. I think the hardest part about finding a job in Europe is finding one that won't low ball you.

> There's an almost dangerously cultish obsession with industriousness in our society.

Yes, exactly. This behavior is encouraged and ingrained in just about every aspect of Western culture (especially American culture), and it's ruining people's lives. "I pulled myself by my bootstraps, so you should too! Nevermind I did it right after WW2 when America was most prosperous and other countries were rebuilding, nothing has changed at all in 50 years, you can easily do it too!"

People pretty much have to go through burnout themselves in order to stop buying into the cult-like behavior.

I spent most of my 20s working for startups and constantly being stressed out and working crazy hours because they weren't doing so well, and I wanted them to succeed. It took being hospitalized for me to finally disconnect from it a bit.

I also didn't look as hard as I should have for a new job when I was laid off, and that time helped me recover, although it wrecked my finances in the meantime, which I'm still recovering from.

Best of luck to you.

Bash has its warts too. Treating everything as strings can cause headaches when filenames have spaces. As a long-time Linux user who recently learned some powershell, I find Bash rather primitive after getting accustomed to an environment where everything is an object.

I wonder how feasible it would be to build a powershell-like environment for Linux on top of Python.

On Unix, an empty file is a working implementation of the "true" command (provided that is in the PATH and set as executable). This is because it is interpreted as a shell script, and an empty script of course exits successfully.

I'm pretty sure this was actually used in some Unix/Linux version, and they got bug reports due to the poor performance (executing a shell to do nothing), which makes for a lot of bugs per line of code. Unfortunately I can't find a reference. Instead I found that AT&T Unix implemented "true" as an empty file... with a copyright notice! See http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/humor/ATT_Copyright_true.html
> For example, the top 20 accounts, which were mostly bots and highly automated accounts, averaged over 1,300 tweets a day

That works out to about 1 tweet/minute per day... how is this not spam? Why can't Twitter do the most basic of spam filtering? And you know why I don't use Twitter anymore? It's because of this. They optimized for the wrong metric: the number of accounts, or the number of tweets/day.

I purchased a TP-LINK camera and didn't want to use their cloud, so I made it ftp images to a Raspberry Pi and then forward them to me via a Telegram Bot. I've been pondering getting OpenWRT on the camera and then running the bot directly on it; I'm not sure it's feasible.
"command echo" instead of just "echo" should bypass the shell builtin.
I had this perspective being involved in a few sports some would consider "extreme" it was a fantastic distraction to be totally engaged in a sport and out in the outdoors with a brilliant community of like-minded friends. However after having a serious injury and witnessing a death of a a couple of friends it didn't seem like fun anymore.

Nowadays family life provides enough of a contrast to work as does a few holidays in the mountains and some day trips hiking in the countryside.
It depends entirely on where your call to the suicide hotline gets routed. I won't contact police unless there's an immediate threat to the caller or to someone else (in cases of abuse/homicide, the caller might not be the one in danger), anything short of that I won't. This, however, is how my crisis center handles such calls. I can't speak for every organization that takes calls from the suicide hotline.
>"People don't like making choices. It is a cognitive burden especially if you're in a new and unusual place"

This is a rather blanket statement and you haven't supported it with any evidence. I also don't believe this is true at all.

I don't think there are many people who spend money and time planning a trip and then fly to to some far off place and upon arriving views exploring the place that they traveled to "a burden." Those that do tend to either not travel for leisure or else travel to the same places again and again or maybe opt for package holidays.

"and when you revisit the place you can go on a more freeform adventure."

Many people never revisit the same places especially the ones really far away. In fact a common refrain among travelers is "I would love to get back there"
You could write Hello World the same way in Django with nothing more than one route and one view. However, the Django tutorial is longer, I think 6 pages, because it provides so much more out of the box. The Flask tutorial would be the same length if it covered topics like a variety of views, templates, serialization, SQLAlchemy, migrations, model design, etc.

Flask actually has a tutorial just like this in the docs [1].

I think you should give Django a chance to be able to compare the two frameworks in these kinds of aspects.

I didn't say it can't matter. I said I don't believe it is the reason for an electoral landslide. Do you?

> It is dishonest to pretend that the dems are claiming fake news is the only reason they lost.

So we agree there. It is a matter of degree. It seems you think it has a stronger degree and I think it didn't. Hopefully we'll see some impartial well done studies about it. So far I just have an opinion and it's ok disagree with it.

> People have a tendency to ignore problems and hope they go away until they are too big to ignore. This is such a case.

That's a good explanation. I like it, I can agree with that.

> You are just attacking the character of people with a valid concern,

But isn't "attacking the character of people" the theme here. The idea that people who haven't picked a candidate I liked are idiots / racists / homophobic? I've heard that quite often in mass media and I find it too dismissive and simple. I didn't say you said that but I've heard it enough time to form an opinion.

> Your post has no value.

Sorry. I didn't mean to waste your time. It was my opinion. Yes it probably has no value.

Exactly. The company needed to save a ton of money in 2009, so, instead of laying anyone off, they gave everyone an extra 4 weeks of vacation and an equivalent cut in their salary for the year.
This is extremely elegant work, no question. But there's a catch. The cycle requires a reducing agent (NADPH) and energy (ATP). So one would need to add components to get those from light or whatever.

He asks the best questions.
Nice. I've had some thoughts related to this idea. How do you test such theory?

I think there is some profound idea lurking where "cache-misses" and convenience are overlapping. We can only keep so much information in our short term memory. The more convenient an interface is the more space is left for information that is strictly important for the task that the user is trying to solve. Also, as humans I believe we use association for populating our "cache". So if we have an intuitive interface it helps us to "pre-cache" information because it will trigger the right associations at the right time. Distractions will trigger the wrong things to be "cached" by association and this will slow us down.

Yet another critical factor is derailment. Or the opposite of being in the zone. If we miss the cache too much we tend to start analyzing ourselves rather than the problem. A second layer of distraction occurs. Or perhaps avoidance behaviors are triggered which further distracts us.

I am in the same situation. You have my sympathy.

The desks here have docking stations, but because I am a contractor I don't receive the same laptop as FTEs. Of course, it isn't compatible with the docks, and so I can't just "sit down and work" as everyone else. I have to find a power outlet which isn't always available. And if I am feeling ambitious, disconnect everything from the dock and plug it into my laptop.

Who's idea was it to have open hoteling space for desks :|

Bernie then Stein counts as not showing up here (when just looking at the two major party vote totals.) I think that Trump-hating Republicans tended to go to Gary Johnson or leave the ballot blank, and that small percentage was offset by the small number of Obama voters who switched to Trump. I'd bet that the number of Trump-haters who ultimately switched to Clinton was infinitesimal, despite her constant appeals after the primaries were over.

That is absolutely true, which WikipediaP2P is as well, and IPFS for that matter. I was simply pointing out some ways you can make the whole "Wikipedia on IPFS" thing to work in the future.
I think the alternative was coasting, not braking.
>Fortunately that is pretty self-regulating, because it's incredibly hard to drive a manual if you haven't had practice and training. :-)

Exactly. Why bother regulating this at the DMV when people who can't drive a stick simply aren't going to try anyway (unless they're trying to actually learn and a friend is teaching them)?

That's weird about the handbook. You're exactly right: if you want to drive economically, the easiest thing to do is simply buy a newer car (and of course do things like not do full-throttle acceleration from stoplights, but that applies equally to all cars). Automatics in the last 5 years have surpassed manuals.
An attack surface is ISPs and Governments strongarming them to use their own DNS roots which can then be plugged into the "new" root servers conforming with the theoretical browser vendor, os vendor alliance.
Good start and my best wishes. We follow these on stash using fork & pull request model, for a large project with 10 teams, each around 6-8 devs.
- everyone has a fork
- no one commits outside their fork
- each module has 3-4 reviewers
- good practices are constantly shared via sessions
- wiki drafted and updated
- comments are given reasoning with concepts, discussion threads and as well to other modules
- object calisthenics, if required

I wish this article about alarms had sounds that readers could play.
so people shouldn't suggest taking remedial or preventative action (work out), because there are incredibly destructive consequences and pain from burnout ? If we conceded that a stressed person is "trapped", what should we do then ? silently ignore them and not suggest they attempt to break out ? If people can break out of crippling chemical dependency, people can break out of depression. It's not fucking easy, but it's possible and people do it all the time.
(ethnic minority and progressive here) This majority can pretty easily be convinced that everything you are mentioning is bad. They are not dumb, they are misguided and they have very poor political education. It's not their fault they behave so, it's the legacy, they have to live with. It will take a lot of time to convince them all that their current way of thought is not right, not good and do not serve their interests, but this sacrifice of time and effort may worth it - for future generations, at least. You may say that it's not your war and you'll be right. But forgive them for they see not the full picture (Luke 23:34).
The language is ... odd. For me, ... not good.

They are aliases for Get-Children. Just like you can have an arbitrary alias for anything on UNIX. If I so pleased I could make an alias so that when I wanted to delete a file I'd type

emacs some-old-file-i-dont-want.c

Emacs would be an alias for rm on my system.

That being said I think it was quite offensive of MS to use wget and curl as aliases, even though they may have had no ill intentions. I'm ok with using ls and echo and names of other such basic commands as aliases, but with tools like wget and curl that are known for their vast array of useful features you either implement their features and options or you don't use their names.
The part about university is counterintuitive. In the US companies have to compete for talent, not vice-versa. So if ability is there with a candidate, education is irrelevant. Candidate supply and demand has companies removing barriers, not adding them. (At least in the big-city markets I have experience with.)

What does the emphasis on education abroad mean? That the supply and demand for developers is inverted relative to the US? Or that they're behind the times and haven't figured out what we've figured out here?
Cmder seems cool but it's ConEmu + Clink + git for windows.

- Clink is for cmd what PSReadline is for posh.

- posh-git does what git for windows does (I personally don't like git info in my prompt, so use neither, and have a custom, Unixy-one)
"is executable" is different from "is an executable". Your other comment was worded to say the former, while this one seems to refer to the latter.

For example, a .jpg image can be marked as executable, but it is not an executable. This can happen on both Linux and Windows, and I believe it is handled by the filesystem. I supposed the term "marked as executable" could be used for this, while "is executable" could mean the OS will grant it a PID using the correct system call, but this is uncommon.

On Linux, you can attempt to execute any file using a system call like execve(). Similarly, on Windows you can also attempt to run a JPEG using CreateProcess(). I know the Windows shell probably won't run a JPEG even if it is marked executable(there are a collection of Registry entries that map file extensions to programs that run them, for the shell), but I don't know if the CreateProcess() API function rejects files without the correct extension.

If both CreateProcess() and GetBinaryType() fail to detect a PE file with the incorrect extension, then you can reasonably say that Windows uses the extension to determine whether a file is an executable(though not whether it is executable). The behavior of the shell isn't sufficient.
They will probably put it in some archive where they delete it after 10 years. Or they keep it somewhere on a drive where it could be accessed but will never be, since no one has a reason to use the data.

Interesting, first of all fully agree with you regarding the business side. Always need to have the customer, their problems, and the revenue model in mind. E.g. for the health care example I think there is a big upside from the insurer side to able to proactively identify illnesses and treat them early (typically cheaper than emergency care, but not always), not to talk about minimizing the human suffering.

But back to the actual question, rules of thumb to estimate feasibility of machine learning application without having access to a actual data set for the specific problem. Make sense to break it down in different problem domains as you mention, NLP, words, image classification, etc.

The 10,000 examples is for bag of words is something I will keep in mind going forward, thanks! When it comes to image classification I guess a fairly good benchmarks can be achieved by looking at available image datasets and public models built on top them (e.g. ImageNet and later versions) and then extrapolate on the precision and number of images needed to achieve it (assuming similar image datasets).

Anyone aware of other relevant rules of thumb for other problem domains?

Noting that epistemology is concerned with the study of (the concept of) knowledge, and may (in principle) go beyond what’s involved in the purely scientific acquisition of such (if some non-scientific method for the acquisition of knowledge is to be accepted).

“Philosophy of science,” already mentioned, is probably a better fit. Once you go meta on science, after all, you are (arguably) not doing science anymore, so there is no harm in naming it a kind of philosophy.

21st Century web journalism...
I've got to throw in my two cents, I recently ran an ad campaign that was extremely successful with very low cost per not only click, but cost per conversion/acquisition. Keep in mind this ad campaign only dealt with people located and posting in the US but even if some of the "clicks" were fake it still was the cheapest and by far most effective campaign that I've ever ran.

I was constantly updating and monitoring my campaign just like an Adwords campaign which you should. These aren't "set and forget" hope you get customers. Monitor your return, if results are poor move your ad dollars elsewhere.
Are you sure Microsoft was? I thought Yahoo did. I can't find the reference now (Google is full of references to Yahoo being the first to disclose an NSL), but I seem to remember something from 2008-2009 era and Microsoft's challenge was in 2012-2013 era if memory serves. Not that this matters much in the grand scheme, but I'd still love to know which company really has that distinction. Links appreciated if you find one!
