I'm taking this now, this year they split it into two classes, and so now there's much much more time to go into theory. But this is still an applications-focus class. They teach you general stuff: What to model, how to build, evaluate and improve models, how to do this on real world data, common pitfalls, how regression and classification works, then some specific models, tradeoffs and similarities between those models, then some methods to improve results from those models.

But this is great, because if you want to learn more in depth about those things, you can just take the second class in the series or a more advanced classes, and / or pick up a book, and you're already at a great position to improve.

Which didn't help your point. You don't care what is in the gap. But you do care what is in either side of it. So, you have to move those.

Edit:. Curse my phone typing. I am still contemplating this and see roughly what you are getting at. Didn't mean to post. I do challenge some of this. But still thinking. Apologies for posting early.

Edit2: on the assumption that I don't care what is in the gap,i think I fully agree with you and I was wrong. I challenge that some, but would have to think longer. Basically, my challenge is that undo and redo are more than a bit easier if you take care of the contents of the gap.
Nope, that's only part of the equation. The other part is that we have the bargaining power to demand a cut, largely because of the current supply/demand balance in the tech labor market.

Besides, the economic notion of value is an incredibly slippery concept. Not only does it include bargaining power (so your value can decrease even if your economic productivity increases), it weights in the wealth of your customer too -- better to entertain a banker than to feed a poor. "Value" for the purpose of economics is typically quite far from "value" for the purposes of morality.

I'm pretty sure that it's rendered in a canvas, not with the DOM, but I may be mistaken. Either way it's simply because of laziness or complexity-avoidance that the minimap uses blocks, not a restriction of the medium.

The minimap could be on par with sublimes, but for whatever reason the dev who made the plugin hasn't made it so. That doesn't mean that it's impossible or impractical due to some restriction of atom itself.

Well, there's also the fact that unless you are homeschooling and preventing your children from experiencing human and media contact, your nurture input is only part of a whole. I learned a lot of what I did and did not want to be like from my parents growing up, but I also learned a lot from my siblings[1] and my friends, and my school experiences.

That is, you may provide the same ingredients, but ultimately the kid's the baker, and you're not even really in the kitchen to see what goes on. Who knows what makes it into the final product?

1: Aside from the normal older brother semi-worship for a while, I also witnessed what sounded like him coughing up a lung every morning for a winter or two with chronic bronchitis from smoking.

Technical cruft usually only sticks around because cleaning it up would either be a monumental effort, or changing it would break other things that would be too much work to update. Either way, there are meaningful trade-offs that justify keeping around flawed systems.

Switching to a more readable font is a change that is trivially implemented now that nobody actually uses mechanical typewriters, and it would break nothing. Using a more readable font doesn't force you to include any more lines of text per page, so the dubious heuristic about page count and screen time wouldn't necessarily even be a casualty. There are no other substantive reasons to reject improvements to readability.

I certainly understand that there will be oddities of the film production process that are not worth fixing. But people who go out of their way to defend the pointless use of bad typography on printed documents that are meant to be read are in no position to be making credible arguments in defense of the less obvious flaws in their standard practices.
Seattle should immediately enact a 25% foreign buyer tax and an extra annual property tax assessment for vacant foreign owned homes.

We've been using Pouch in a progressive web app designed to be used on the field in remote locations, and while there was a learning curve in understanding how the replication protocol works, and as highlighted in another comment the way Chrome stores data for a web app - we can't be happier with pouch/couch.

Additionally, moving out of Cloudant and into CouchDB with an openresty based reverse proxy has made things even better, and really fun. This is one of those stacks that feels easy and simple at the same time. (Ref:https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy).

The most successful, caring, well educated and thoughtful people I know came from the worst upbringings. They grew up in households with abusive parents, homelessness as a child and general chaos.

At the same time the biggest burnouts, felons, drug-addicts and the like that I know personally (and in the statistics) came from ... the worst upbringings. They grew up in households with abusive parents, homelessness as a child and general chaos.

On the flip side, most of the people I know who were raised in peace, calm, consistent love, and wealth are generally pretty middling and while they live a fine life aren't really making huge impacts as I see from group 1 above. Maybe it's that the story isn't as compelling so we don't read about those as much. Chalk it up to sampling error.

From a social scientist perspective, group 3 is the ideal upbringing because it's consistent and the lower bound outcome is generally still desirable.

However there is just something about the ridiculous struggle that seems to either make diamonds or spent coal. From the perspective of population distribution for groups 1 and 2 it's overwhelmingly spent coal that comes out, but that 1% that becomes diamonds are really spectacular.

Correct. The data used in the OP is only the Oct 2016 comments, which explains the discrepancy.

Go is a language exactly like that, but I still use lock free algorithms. The reason is even with a private per thread data structure you don't have atomic higher level operations like enqueue. So you need to disable interrupts around the data structure methods, both for the OS and the Go runtime. That will cost you more than a lock would, and afaik it's not possible from userspace on Linux (if it is I would love to know how!)

> His alternative or-composition rule looks strange to me, since given either A or B it is entirely subsumed by simple implication, but his rule still seems to need both..?

It's not about "needing" both, but about how proofs are decomposed. Sometimes you need to prove `A ∨ B ⇒ C`; that's your proof goal. To do that, you prove `A ⇒ C` and `B ⇒ C`. That's all. If you look at basic texts about formal reasoning, they're full of such rules (see, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_deduction)

But from a pragmatic perspective, I think this is clear: if you want to formally reason about large, real-world programs today (especially if they're concurrent or distributed) "Lamport's" approach is the only affordable way to do it. It is also mathematically simple, very elegant and fun. Whatever you're interested in academically, it also covers the most important concepts anyway (refinement/abstraction relations, inductive invariance), and, in the end how you work and think is basically the same.
> From the article, 50% of homes sold in Seattle and its suburbs are foreign investments.

The article does say that, but as a Seattle resident, that really does not sound right to me. As a counterpoint, this article[1] in the Seattle Times says:

Chinese money now accounts for about 55 percent of all homes purchased by foreigners in Washington, the Realtors association says.

and

“It’s definitely helped in driving prices up,” Riley said. In some parts of the Eastside, in particular, she said “we’ve had a large influx of international buyers coming in. They’re the buyer about 50 percent of the time right now.”

That's 50 or 55% in some parts of the market, not the Seattle metro market as a whole. That's a lot more believable.

They could just be using a feature space for face representations that a model is trained to generate given images, which would reduce the identification problem to a n-dimensional clustering problem.

My guess is that they use siamese cnns or autoencoders and look at the latent space. Also, just straight up training a deep neural network on 20 million classes isn't impossible.

The tech intern data was a self-reported online survey distributed around tech-focused Facebook groups (eg: I definitely saw and participated in this survey last year, on Hackathon Hackers).

The other salary data was from "BLS May 2015 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates".

I found the survey useful to compare your offers to other offers at that company/ones nearby. It was way easier to use than glassdoor, especially because the offers increase a little every year and you want to be sure you're not getting screwed somehow.

Definitely should be used for any real analysis though, not even blog-post analysis.
sync_gateway is basically a couchdb protocol proxy, for couchbase-lite to use, that sits in front of couchbase.

There should be similar laws all over. In a global economy, if "regular people" have to compete with multi-millionaires and billionaires who can move capital wherever, whenever they want, housing where any decent paying jobs are located will continue to become more and more unaffordable.

> There are no other substantive reasons to reject improvements to readability.

Inertia and information signalling are substantive reasons in an industry that is governed by convention and lots of networking.

Using a different font is a signal to the reader that you are ignorant of industry conventions, and hence less likely to have written a script that will follow acceptable norms--or perhaps worse, that you're a special snowflake who is willing to distract the reader from the content of the screenplay in favor of fiddling with form.

This is the same reason why most people don't make stunningly bold typographic choices when writing a resume -- they're not in a position of power, and they're either not confident enough in their own taste or the reader's taste to take any risks. Guides for aspiring scriptwriters basically suggest that you stick to the 'standard format' and not deviate from it [1].

Certainly, if you were writing and submitting scripts, feel free to implement your own suggestions.
