Current System prioritizes people from India. From my personal experience (also see the article below[1]) people coming to the US for undergrad education usually end up in good universities.. Probably a small portion of them are going to below average private schools because their families are rich. They usually don't study STEM or they can't find jobs after graduation, you need a job first to apply for an H1B.

I think urban planning folks have been, in principle, favorable to new mobility options that don't involve private vehicle ownership. I think some folks in the cities have been conflicted about some of Uber's lawlessness / relationship to labor.

Ah ha haaaa...I've spent a lot of time on this this week. I currently render the text inside phantom (headless chrome) so I can correct the positions. Do you have an example of using pango?

This looks pretty interesting, although I'll have to dig more into the examples to see why they chose this set of primitives (multipipes, multipipe blocks, and stored values).

Here is a 2009 paper, "Composing and executing parallel data-flow graphs with shell pipes", which is also a bash extension. (I'm impressed with anyone who successfully enhances bash's source code.)

Although it has a completely different model and I think more suitable for "big data".

In this paper we extend the concept of shell pipes to incorporate forks, joins, cycles, and key-value aggregation.

I have a printout of this paper, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be online :-(

I've worked with and looked at a lot of data processing helpers. Tools, that try to help you build data pipelines, for the sake of performance, reproducibility or simply code uniformity.

What I found so far: Most tools, that invent a new language or try to cram complex processes into lesser suited syntactical environments are not loved too much.

A few people like XSLT, most seem to dislike it, although it has a nice functional core hidden under a syntax that seems to come from a time, where the answer to everything was XML. There are big data orchestration frameworks, that use an XML as configuration language, which can be ok, if you have clear processing steps.

Every time a tool invents a DSL for data processing, I grab my list of ugly real world use cases and most of the tools fail soon, if not immediately. That's a pity.

Programming languages can be effective as they are, and with the exceptions that unclean data brings, you want to have a programming language at your disposal anyway.

I'll give dgsh a try. The tool reuse approach and the UNIX spirit seems nice. But my initial impression of the "C code metrics" example from the site is mixed: It reminds me of awk, about which one of the authors said, that it's a beautiful language, but if your programs getting longer than hundred lines, you might want to switch to something else.

Two libraries which have a great grip at the plumbing aspect of data processing systems are airflow and luigi. They are python libraries and with it you have a concise syntax and basically all python libraries plus non-python tools with a command line interface at you fingertips.

I am curious, what kind of process orchestration tools people use and can recommend?
In a vacuum, I would applaud your thinking.

Unfortunately, the nature of a country of three hundred million people means that you've got to scale, and Socratic dialogue doesn't scale.

There's a lot in there for sure. I did my due-diligence analyzing the island theme, describing how Baudelaire is evoking all the senses that bring such fond memories. I also had a lengthy section on how this poem can be interpreted sexually. You don't write that you're inhaling the fragrance of breast and not think sex. In the first stanza the exotic perfume of a woman brings the author thoughts of passion. This perfume makes him fantasize. In the next two stanzas the island is a metaphor of his fantasies. The trees and fruits are metaphors for looking at and touching the woman's body. The sails and rigging symbolize sexual pleasure, and the ocean the sexual act. In the last stanza, he comes back from his fantasy and prepares himself to indulge in the act again to the tune of the sailors chant. Flesh that out in 5 pages and that was my essay. I'm not saying it's the correct interpretation, but you can't objectively say it isn't. And the explanation works so why dismiss it? I can only conjecture that the teacher didn't want to get in trouble. Baudelaire was a pervert and his book was banned for its sexual content. I knew that coming in to the essay so given that context it's not far-fetched. Anyhow, who knows right? He could have whiffed a tit and that made him think of this one time he was on a beach with his friends and it was a super cool vacation. I prefer my explanation where the fragrance brought him to a place that John Mayer is expressing in "Your Body Is A Wonderland".

I'm guessing the author was resolving AAAA records on the client side which caused his network stack to prefer IPv6 routing.

You should first learn some basics about floating point numbers before attempting to make such strong assertions to correct people with such a bossy attitude (you're 100% wrong BTW).

Here's a quick exercise for you:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
float x = 123456789.5;
printf("%f\n", x);
return 0;
}

prints
123456792.000000

And the distance between two nearest floats grow larger as you go away from 0. So the nearest existing integers aren't 123456790 or 123456788 either.
Yeah. Good road planning in the future should avoid situations where a driver can save 5 minutes by delaying 10 others for 1 minute. Adding new roads can certainly create such situations where they weren't before. You need serious effort to figure it out though, because adding a new road can have lots of other effects as well.
I've just replaced a 32" 4K (4096x) LG with a pair of 28" UHD displays on my main workstation, and I could definitely see benefits to upgrading to 5k at this size, but 8k is just nuts.

My dream is get the PPI somewhere around 5k at 27/28", but use all that bandwidth for an ultrawide display, so you don't need it to be so tall and don't have the issues you get with 2x displays, such as a bevel in the middle and no real ideal layout.

I like to call this trend "Flanders Computing" -- where developers and designers increasingly create obnoxiously friendly websites and apps that treat you as if they're your diddly-doodly buddy-ol-pal.

A recent Windows 10 install told me "We're happy you're here!" Who exactly is "we" and why are they trying to be all buddy-buddy so soon? I assume the market research told them that this was the best start screen, but good grief is all the wiggly-wobbly buddy-ol-pal stuff so friggin annoying. It's like forced intimacy that can't be reciprocated, which feels weird.

The experience in Boston was that Uber anonymized the data too much for it to be useful[1]. I would be very skeptical of this as it seems to be a program publicly touted as useful, but the e-mails obtained via FOIA requests show it to not be. I'm not sure what the solution is since privacy should be a concern.

It might pass down to the h1bs, but it would NOT pass down to Americans (why pay an h1b 80k +50k tax, if you can pay an American 120k).

But you can also solve this by just having minimum 100k+ salary requirements.
Open source sockpuppet software seems like an inevitable equalizer in the propaganda field.
I'm reminded again of this passage, from Terry Pratchet's "The Carpet People":

Pismire was the shaman, a kind of odd-job priest.

Most tribes had one, although Pismire was different. For one thing, he washed all the bits that showed
at least once every month. This was unusual. Other shamen tended to encourage dirt, taking the view that
the grubbier, the more magical.

And he didn't wear lots of feathers and bones, and he didn't talk like the other shamen in neighbouring
tribes.

Other shamen ate the yellow-spotted mushrooms that were found deep in the hair thickets and said
things like: "Hiiiiya/iya/iheya! Heyaheyayahyah! Hngh! Hngh!" which certainly sounded magical.

Pismire said things like, "Correct observation followed by meticulous deduction and the precise
visualization of goals is vital to the success of any enterprise. Have you noticed the way the wild tromps
always move around two days ahead of the sorath herds? Incidentally, don't eat the yellow-spotted
mushrooms."
I agree rent is not "wasted", however a large chunk of the cost of providing the service is the rent of fiat money from private banks to pay for the land.

It's easy to paint conservatism as reactionary -- in particular, a reaction to the progressive movement which drives most new policy changes (both good and bad), with conservatives resisting and slowly giving in over time.

So that's one theory, but it's difficult to really know because I (and probably most of the readers here) live in a blue city in a blue state, not a major city in the south where conservative ideas would be more likely to be intellectually fostered and furthered. Their strongest ideas tend to be related to economics and individual liberty, but they tend to just copy those ideas from libertarians and morph them in with other things that are not intellectually consistent (like being against regulation of non-localized forms of pollution). In general, both sides appear pretty consistently stubborn to accept anything that originated from the other side. Not HN intellectuals, but the layman (which makes up 95+% of both the Democrats' and the Republicans' voter base).
This used to be true. Modern machine learning needs way less data. The classic example is taking images and then transforming them in hundreds of ways (scaling, rotation, skew, etc) for training.

Big data is no where near as much a competitive advantage as it was three years ago. It seems not everyone outside the field has noticed that though.
If you study a STEM field in the US with F1 via you get some time to do work in the US to get practical experience. It's up to you to do that work during it after you graduate. I did it after. I believe that allowed me to work here for two years. After that time you could switch to H1 and now have some experience to drive your salary up.

Well... I probably would not have arrived at your interpretation myself, but.. I can see the outline from your comment, and presumably if you went into a little more detail in your analysis I'd accepted it as a totally valid interpretation. Probably helps that I'm on the progressive side of the "death of the author" brawl, and that I am a science student, not a humanities student.

QuercusMax objects in sister comment to interpreting "singuliers" as "only one".. The line "Des arbres singuliers" clearly indicates to me that there are many trees, regardless of whether their "singularity" means they are all "remarkable, unique" or "free-standing, isolated" (which, the more I read it, the more I understand the basis of your interpretation).

In any case, to be accurate, I think your interpretation needed to be compatible with there being many phalluses. (Phalli?) :)
There's no requirement that H1B beneficiaries be "highly skilled."
i don't agree with your interpretation either. i mean, you were probably a teenager at the time, and the second line is mentions breasts, which i think primed you to read the other lines through a certain lens. also, you might not've gotten an F just for what the poem said to you, but just from being really badly done, maybe. but i don't see what excuse there is for sending you to the principal's office. just sounds like your teacher was assuming malice and thereby making a problem.

my freshman year of high school i had a project where i had to write some kind of collection of poems. i ended up putting together a calendar, with certain days having a poem. there was some kind of rationale to how i picked the days, but i can't remember. i had an error printing it though, and i couldn't get the last two months to print, but i had met my requirements for the project, so i just turned it in.

this brought me a very long and irritating discussion with two counselors and the vice principal. they thought: maybe i was gay, maybe i was trans, maybe i had been molested, maybe i was being abused, maybe was planning something violent, maybe the whole thing was a big joke, and maybe i was planning to commit suicide. they wanted an explanation, and all i could say was that i was just... writing some poems shrugs.

The impression I got is that it is still using traditional unix tools and pipes under the hood so I would expect the same efficiency as now. I think the big difference here is the syntax. Traditional shells are great if you have a linear dataflow where each program has one standard input and one standard output. However, if you want to have programs receiving multiple inputs from pipes or writing to multiple pipes then the `|` syntax is not enough.
I struggle to relate to the premise of this article: while anxiety is something I have always struggled with, fatherhood is not one of the things that makes me anxious. My son is three, turning four in a few months, and while his behaviour and moods can at times be difficult to deal with, I'd describe the resulting emotions as more exasperation or weariness than anxiety. Now, maybe as he gets older – maybe when he is a teenager he will cause me anxiety – but certainly not yet.

Presumably biasing the training sets to those built from corrected sources would help, but what about using n-grams to throw out poor examples of ungrammatical sentences? It wouldn't be perfect, but some kind of score based on a much lower prevlence of n-grams from the generated sentence vs the original might indicate acceptable cases and those where they were fairly similar might indicate the generated sentence could in fact be valid (and thus should be discarded)
"not acting in good faith"

An accurate diagnosis, I think. You'll never get anywhere with people like that ... or where you get is not anywhere you want to be.

* 'Yay! We are free from English tyranny'

* 'Hey, this is kind of a shitty neighborhood and the English might be back, we need an army.'

* 'Nah, armies are the tools of tyrants. We need a citizen militia, that will work.'

* 'Yeah, but they need to practice because we have seen how poorly these guys fight and if it weren't for our French friends and these German mercs we would have been toast'

* 'Okay, then we should practice. Now the general rule is that if you run a regulated (aka 'practiced') militia you also provide the cannons, beer and chips for the post-practice party, and you provide everyone with their gun. In case you haven't noticed we have been kiting bad checks for the past couple of years and our finances are somewhat...illiquid.'

* 'New plan. We tell our guys they need to bring their own gun. A lot have them already, so we make these BYOG militias.'

* 'Cool idea, let's write this down and stuff it in to the new amendments.'
