But... if you don't test the code with actual reasonable data, how do you know it is correct?

Seems weird to say a team was always hung up on ensuring the correctness of their code. I guess it depends on what you work on to an extent.

The Predictron: End-To-End Learning and Planning [pdf]
I spent the last few hours reading this paper. From what I understand, the paper is not about AD, but something more. AD is "efficient means to calculating derivatives", as they put it. This paper seems to be about program analysis through calculus (AD comes into play, as derivatives are needed).

They show how to form equations with programs and calculate with them, kind of like with "normal" math. This seems to be the reason for constructing the algebra. They derive some transformation of programs similar to Fouriers I do not fully understand yet (they also use this algebra and calculus to generalize methods like Deep Dream).

They show how to use this algebra to initialize "tensor networks" from some other sub-optimal program and than train it to obtain better results than the original program. The transformation is called "Neural tensor series", it seems to be like an enhanced Taylor series for programs, but again, I do not fully understand it yet. What I do understand from it, is that through this transformation you can somehow relate a program to a tensor network, and use this to study and analyze programs and vice versa.

This algebra strikes me as interesting and important. They mention parallels to how physics is being studied. In physics, you often express a system as a solution to a system of equations, because you do not know the system in advance. In this frame, a program is like a system. Perhaps this theory allows a similar approach to programming.

There is another paper listed on github https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.02731 . It seems as though the code on github and this paper are additional material to the paper in the OP, not a full implementation of the theory, but a bridge for those familiar with AD to better understand the theory in the paper. I could be wrong though, it is getting late :)
It's the same with drone strikes. If you look at the recent controversies about the drone program in the US, it's all about how Obama authorized drone strikes on an American. Illegally assassinating non Americans without any form of trial or due process is perfectly fine.

>I agree that it's a race to the bottom but not that regulation is a way out. There are too many services employing too many engineers, and furthermore governments benefit from this massive surveillance. They pay for the results, and the direction in government today is towards less privacy, not more.

In Norway we have an independent administrative body of the government called Datatilsynet, known in English as The Norwegian Data Protection Authority. Wikipedia has a very short article about it in English [1] and a longer article in Norwegian [2]. For a translation of the Norwegian article, see [3].

Notably, the King and the Ministry may not instruct or reverse Datatilsynet's exercise of authority in the individual case according to law.

So while some parts of a government might want to maximize data collection and surveillance, it is still possible to have other bodies of the government work to protect the privacy of its citizens.

As others have said, do some trials at a few and see how they work out. Though from past experience it’s difficult to judge the long-term experience of a space by a 1 or 2 day trial. Ask if you can get a week at a reduced rate.

Coworking spaces are not for everyone and it depends on many factors, specifically your personality type and your ultimate goal for a space. ie: if you ultimately want a space that helps you extend your network and you’re willing to sacrifice the fact that the environment will be more distracting than working at home, you’ll more likely forgive the latter to gain the former.

"C++ isn't a language. It is a laboratory where some people work out ways to do poorly what other languages do well." Amen!

I studied PL/I, in the University of Maryland dialect called PL/UM, in the 70s as a student. I was very glad that it did not catch on. As C++ grew in size and complexity, I realized that it was this generation's C++ but that it had, sadly, succeeded wildly. If PL/I had been a more well known failure, perhaps the authors of C++ would have heeded it's warning.

I've been programming in C for a long time. I occasionally dig up decades old code and compile it, usually just for fun. Much of the time, I just need to add a few include files, as old C was more tolerant of calling undeclared functions and such. With all of the changes to C, from K&R, to C89, to C99, to C11, it's nice that the core features have been pleasingly stable. The instability of C++ that the OP comments on is one reason I don't like C++ and I'm happy that I don't have to use it often.

As an aggregate that looks like a compelling pattern, but consider it on an individual level: we're talking about one post every ten days. Initially looking at the graph made me think the difference was way greater than a post every ten days, so I'd agree with the GP that it is misleading; I was mislead.

Yes - Insurance. For one thing, many people can code well enough to move data from CSVs to a database (or vice versa) but not well enough to read/write an API. I guess the main reason, though, is that many back-office applications don't need to be 'real-time' and for those it's always going to be easier to send files and have someone import them to a DB.

"TCP_NODELAY forces the protocol to avoid holding data"

That is the misunderstanding. It will send one non full packet, and only then "hold on to data" until the next packet is a full packet. But that condition will reset when all data has been acknowledged. If you buffer in userspace and write data in one go, at 25 network fps, you basically never trigger the condition where TCP_NODELAY makes a difference.

It is not nagle's algorithm, but a variant of minshall-nagle, what modern systems use.

There is a reason why FPS games use UDP, but that discussion should not start with TCP_NODELAY. That one is misused enough ... often when it fixes anything, it is because it masks a real underlying problem, had you fixed that problem, your system would react much better under stress or bad networks.

Maybe it makes sense. It is replacement of Java because convenient GC, decent runtime and networking/http/ssl/xml/json libs comes standard. This is where is Java is mostly used as backend server side stuff.

It is replacement of C as in low memory usage, decent level of control over memory layout, no overengineered abstractions, no classes, no generics, no exceptions, fewer concepts to grasp etc. It does not need VMs and generates executables to directly run on machines.

There was also an underlying religious divide that was barely solved in the last decades before their downfall: Orthodox, especially Romanians, were almost completely excluded from political life. You list actually serves as a counter argument to your own point from this regard since I could barely find any Romanian names on that list (no "escu" as in Popescu or Ionescu for example).

Betteridge's law, something for headline writers to be aware of?
I've not taught CS, however I used to teach math to adolescents. Some basics: scaffold concepts, spiral back to previous concepts, and allow exploration and self discovery. All quizzes and exams should have earlier content in them. I believe I heard that six repetitions over time were needed for most students. For distributed systems, don't just present the two generals problem. State the scenario, and give them 8 minutes to think through a solution in small groups. Maybe go as far as to have them illustrate the problem on poster paper with markers. Have a one or two summarize what they discussed to the class. Ask probing questions. Then give the reveal (a brief lecture on why it unsolvable) and show the results of the giants upon whose shoulders they should stand. Employ other active learning strategies. Google "active learning strategies." Yeah, lots of facts will be forgotten after the exam. However, the more they understand principles, the more they can recall and recreate long term.

Hopefully the above advice helps with the lecture portion. As for labs, my experience says that practical exercises are great and my experience says that lab exercises are too contrived to be even slightly useful. To explain: I took an online distributed systems course to balance out my self learning and work experience. Their code work / labs were terrible. All the scaffolding was in place and it boiled down to "translate these algorithms to scala." I gave me no insight or feeling or deeper understanding of best effort broadcast or anything else. Mostly, I wrestled with trying to grok scala. However, previously implementing toy (read mostly broken) versions of Paxos and Raft (which I had done prior to taking the class) gave me a solid understanding and appreciation for the nature of the problems they attempt to solve. Reading the papers and attempting to code up what was presented worked better for me.

Cheers and good luck.

Modeling Physics in JavaScript: Introduction
I wish there was more detail about the pain-point-finding process. As is, simply looking for examples of current pain points is very prone to cognitive bias -- if you go looking for a pain point, you'll find one, but how do you quantify the intensity of pain and willingness to change solutions?
Maybe more of an overall competition-assessment strategy (rather than a specific pain-point-search) -- if you research the current shortcomings AND high points of current solutions you'll have a much better understanding of the value your product can add.
> 31% of Trump voters think vaccines cause autism?

The Gallup poll was filing people into three categories on that question (yes/no/uncertain). The YouGov survey filed them into four categories (definitely yes/probably yes/probably no/definitely no). If we assume that the two "probably" categories in the latter correspond to the "uncertain" category in the former, the results of the two surveys are fairly close.
