> The fork one? They still don't exist.

I am hardly the first person to make decisions about my actions based on the welfare of people who do not yet exist. Many reasonable people agree that we owe it to future humans (people who do not exist), to leave the Earth more or less habitable for them.

> Are you trying your best? Are you pregnant right now?

I am literally typing this reply while holding my 8 day old son. He is my third child. I'm sure some could quibble with the level of my effort, but we plan to have more and, well, 3 is greater than 0.

By the way, this N+1 argument is not a refutation of my argument. If there are a bunch of people drowning after a boat capsizes, do you choose not to rescue any of them just because you cannot rescue all of them?

No, you get in there and rescue as many as you can. Afterwards, you agonize about whether or not you could have saved more if you had done this or that differently. Eventually, you come to terms with how things worked out and your inadequacy as a human being.

> If you're a male, why are you not in a polyamorous relationship?

It generally takes two people to make a baby. The female's willingness to make a baby is usually inversely correlated with her belief that the male has relationships with other females.

So either the guy really lucks out, or (more commonly) polygamy involves a level of coercion or deception that conflicts with basic decency.
This. I hear a lot of whining about JIRA, which is fair since it's a huge pain to configure and learn all the quirks of, but usually it's overkill for those folks (perhaps myself included right now).

But the folks who have a working process and a large number of people and teams are usually complaining the other way round: that no tool supports their workflow. Which is where JIRA shines. I don't know another tool that can be configured to such ridiculous detail.

The Trello acquisition makes total sense because it fills in that gap that JIRA is bad at.
Convolutional nets for digit recognition are certainly easier to learn than ML generally, but I wasn't suggesting to start with Deep Learning. I was suggesting that when studying Deep Learning, to start with MNIST.

It was easier for me to start with the LeCun 1998 paper than to watch all the theorem-proving in the online courses, but that's just personal preference.
It's a general recognition that it takes money, not skill to

This is complete bullshit. Rebuys in the first round only help to insulate you from the chaos of the first round, where there tend to be a lot of wild players who gamble. Tournaments go on for 20, 30, 40+ rounds. The fact that people have won multiple championships and that many people continue to reach the final tables is evidence against the notion that it's just about money.

X-ray does not actually kill film. It will just slightly increase the esposure. But on the films I took through X-Ray scanners I never noticed this. Also you can take the film with you in your carry-on and ask the person at the scanner to let your film pass unscanned. Worked for me back when I was concerned about this. :-)

Oh and film also doesn't die after its expiry date, I made enlargements of some shots from ten-year-past-expiry film recently, not technically perfect but I love the look. Try a roll and see what you get!

I just complained about the post you're complaining about, but I'm also going to complain about yours.

There is actually a "super-duper special master just for vinyl" in many cases, with more dnamic range. The reason I've heard for that happening, though this could be wrong, is that the needle would be more likely to jump out of the groove with the loudness that CD masters are often getting. Whether that's true or not, the vinyl release often has a different, less compressed master. Some people rip the vinyl versions to digital for that reason.

Whatever you do, just make sure you always keep a functional free tier. I can tell you that for for us, as far as Bitbucket and Trello is concerned, the free tier is what got us in before purchasing a plan several months later.

AWS applies the same trick with some startups in China (like they did with us) and I guess Silicon Valley as well. Bunch of free credits, free for a year. After you have your infrastructure with them it will be hard to switch to somebody else.

I think it's often easier because most of the nerdy complexities are via a GUI... though the web.config offers a lot more in more recent versions. And adding in Application Request Routing (reverse-proxy) and the like can get complicated quickly, it's not nearly as bad as either nginx or apache tend to be. I do like what nginx can do combined with lua though, it's pretty damned cool.

All in all, I do like Caddy's defaults and out of the box for newer tech. I haven't really tried it much, mostly out of complacency with nginx/iis in Linux/windows. And I will definitely never run Apache on a new box again.
>What is it about the email that makes you think you have to respond soon? Is it the culture at the company around email?

Yep. They insist they need answers soon.

Really, as I said, they're essentially having meetings asynchronously through email.

Having recently switched from a workplace that used Slack to one that uses Hipchat, my first answer is "everything". It's less reliable, and reliability is my number one desire in a communications tool. And there are just so many little UI and UX details that Slack gets right that it's a pleasure to use, whereas Hipchat is generally an irritation and a disappointment for me.

I guess one way to explain it is that Hipchat feels like an enterprise product, and Slack feels like a consumer product. The difference being that enterprise products get used because some high-level person says, "Lo, all my vassals shall now use Hipchat." Which means that user experience is secondary. Whereas consumer software has to earn each user, meaning that it works harder to please and support those users.

> I am trying to think of the downsides, i.e. how will this come to bite us in the butt...

The right has discovered social media. If you start brigading right-wing sites by going after their advertisers, they're going to start doing the same thing to you.

What's more, as the recent election showed, the right's brigading ability is far greater than the left's at the moment. What do you think would happen if Milo Yiannopoulos were to post the contact information for advertiser at Vox.com and the Huffington Post and tell his followers to demand that they pull their ads? I'd be willing to bet a good deal of money that it would be more impactful than an opinion piece in the NY Times.
The cost is $20 million per year. We know exactly what PRISM is and exactly how much it costs. The slides tell us: https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/pr....

In particular, we know that PRISM isn't "bulk data collection" as this article wrongly states.

> A decent full frame 35mm digital will probably beat a film medium format comfortably on colour reproduction, resolution and clarity. But Damnit, film just looks "real"

And what of larger formats? Where do you get your 4"x5" digital back, or 8"x10"? Maybe you can do it with a scanning back, but it's hardly equivalent.
With all due respect, do you have any idea what you're talking about? This is poker, not blackjack. Card counting is useless and there's no strategy that will get you thrown out of a casino because it's not the casino's money you're playing for.

I'm not sure what sort of "standard well-established techniques" that "would be trivial to program" you're talking about. Optimal play in no-limit hold'em is a tremendously complicated mixed strategy with a massive decision tree. To make things even more interesting, in almost any given situation there will be multiple "correct" plays that, to avoid being exploitable, should each be made some percentage of the time at random.

This AI is novel because it achieved a result that (as far as anybody knows) has never been achieved before, not because it figured out how to do something on its own.
Trello has a free tier, not all of those 19M pay.
It's usually applied to prices because the assumption is that the act of trading on perceived incorrect prices causes the price to converge to the market's expectations.

Whereas for employment, you would need a mechanism that allows for 1) a public prediction of what the future unemployment path is and 2) a way for people to put money down if they disagree, such that it actually directly impacts unemployment.
A Quality Made-In-China Ballpoint Pen
My favorite thing about film shooting isn't the look of film, but rather how the camera works. Digital cameras have so much distracting/confusing crap on them. Reducing the world to just aperture and shutter speed, with a comfy cushion of exposure, really makes life more pleasant.

That said, I love auto-ISO to death. It's my favorite thing about digital photography. On film, you're either compromising shutter speed or compromising aperture to get the exposure. So nice to be able to easily adjust the third variable in the algebra.

Definitely agree on your point about slide exposure relative to black and white, too. Slide film is almost as fussy as digital. What's the fun of that?
Ok, so now that's done. How about the ability to zoom?
No it's not. There are other sources of randomness around - color of card on table, ...

Does this mean the map is always the same? That actually sounds kind of boring, rewarding rote memorization rather than the ability to improvise in the face of a challenge.

Also, if this sort of thing appeals to you in principle but you'd like something a little more light-hearted, try Don't Starve (which now has a multiplayer mode).

I would say you should adjust the timer to whatever fits your lifestyle.

I've always understood the pomodoro timers as 25 minutes of getting down into the trenches and then taking 5-10 minute breaks to think about whatever you're doing from a high level overview.
Also in bioinformatics, and I use Python too, but not for the same reasons. Among languages with mature statistics/ML/numeric libraries, your choices are R and Python (MATLAB/Mathematica if you're willing to consider non-open-source). R is just terrible, so Python is all that's left if you want a sane language with batteries.

I used to write a decent amount of Clojure. I would be surprised if you would have problems with reviewers complaining about a nonstandard language -- unless you're publishing a library, then you might rightfully get dinged because the target audience would be small. But if you're just running a routine analysis, I have always found the reviewers don't care what language it's in.

Anyway, I dropped Clojure because the numeric support is just terrible. There's Java libraries, of course, but you lose the conciseness and functional aspect. You just can't performantly use arrays or matrices as if they were generic sequences, as appealing as it appears from a distance.

Considered Racket, but I consider lazy evaluation a must (a la Python's generators), and I could never figure out how to use Racket's lazy mode.

So, Python it is... Maybe choosing a programming language is like marriage: better to have something you can tolerate for a long period with all its warts than something you're infatuated with.

> I have a way to justify my usage of Lisp in the future

Haha, OK. I found this paper really unconvincing. No mention of the terms "numeric" or "array", and the only mentions of "statistics" and "machine learning" are in the form of "Lisp would be a really great foundation for stats/ML if someone would just write a library for it".

Micromanagers are going to micromanage no matter what tool they do it in.

Leica took this philosophy to extremes when introducing the M-D a while ago - a digital rangefinder camera with no preview screen. It's one of those Marmite things, apparently. If I wanted to shoot without instant feedback, I'd use a film M, thankyouverymuch - but obviously, YMMV.

FRA made a deal with an entity called Krigsarkivet, a Swedish national archive for military history, to store data they collect in and around Sweden. For like, future research. Naturally they couldn't store this data within the Krigsarkivet's existing archives, so K had to open an archive on FRA's premises. Because this was for future research, the deal was that they were, you know, just to store the data and be done with it. Of course, that's not what happened at all. Instead, they're actively maintaining the archive, meaning that they're effectively using the "for future research" K archive as their own XKeyScore.

Street surfaces are relatively featureless (uniform grey) at low resolution or quality and a lot of matching algorithms will fail on them. With modern high resolution cameras and algorithms like SGM (see Heiko Hirschmuller's work) you can do pretty well nowadays, but it's not a panacea.

It doesn't necessarily need to be absolutely featureless: more specifically stereo matching suffers when there is local texture that is not sufficiently unique along an epipolar line (normally we use rectified images so epipolar = along the image rows). For a concrete example, if I showed you (or a computer) a small patch of road (< 15x15 px square) and told you to find its location in another image, you would struggle because of the ambiguity. This happens all the time 'in the wild'. Cars are shiny, which means specular reflections everywhere; global illumination differences are fine, but local differences cause problems. Matching surfaces like glass is also hard. Someone else mentioned the sides of artic lorries.

LIDAR avoids a lot of potential confusion, but I'm not suggesting that it's a catch-all. It's time consuming to scan and the data are sparse. The best systems (should) fuse data from all the different sources to maximise confidence.
