Biggest problem here is their architectural design. They're mixing server side code with front end. They're printing angular code using back end, but they are not filtering {} characters. Basically, user can execute any angular code, therefore any javascript.

Apart from having a pretty negative attitude, this smacks of somebody who just learned about scripts and automation.

Its nice Windows has finally decided to give their users a real tool to do their work with, and yeah, maybe some of the design (right now) is cleaner than in the traditional shell camps...

But this also sounds like somebody who wants to throw away mountains of expertise around other ecosystems (destructive behavior) just because they like their tool X. What I've never seen a PS user succinctly demonstrate is what new, good ideas PS brings to the table, other than its a better glue language for COM/.NET. And PS being extremely verbose means that frankly, nobody likes it (being verbose is garbage in shell languages - you made the comment that ruby/et. all "aren't shells", however they aren't shells in the same way that PS isn't a shell, they're large, bulky languages that don't take shortcuts).

Considering this is about learning PS, it would be good for a heavy user of PS such as yourself to actually expound on the specific things PS is good at, not the one-trick-ponies like some sql install command.

Do you have an example or two of this? (I bet you don't)
Yes, that's a fascinating new technique, known as "CGI scripting".
That's something I ran into as well, but actually has had a solution in vanilla Firefox for a while. You can create keywords for searches by right clicking a search box and selecting "add keyword for this search", and can then be used in just the same as vimperator by typing that keyword into the navigation/awesome bar (such as with VimFX). One advantage to this is that you can create a bookmark folder of search keywords, and they'll sync across all your devices thru Firefox sync. I find this especially handy on Firefox mobile.

He didn't get diluted much through outside investment like Gates and Buffet. He still owns something like 70%+ of his company.
I would imagine that if you factored in "home ownership" it's much higher. That is, you don't actually own your home til the mortgage is paid. So that equity is a ruse of sorts.
I don't think I've ever seen unsupervised learning explained that way. The name is that you are literally not supervising the algorithm, so it is typically not a good future predicting tool.

Now, it can teach you something about your data, but it is then up to you to turn that into something that can let you predict about your data. (So, typically cluster analysis.)

Right?
I enjoyed this tutorial as a first step into the world of deep learning frameworks. For context, I recently finished the Machine Learning course on Coursera.

I liked the parallel constructions of the neural network and the transition from linear algebra to framework. I really appreciate the ease of use of PyTorch, which pushed me over the edge into actually doing something useful with deep learning.

I managed to get through this tutorial and make a submission to the kaggle digit recognizer competition in the span of a few hours. I'm excited to figure out how to train a model more efficiently, which seems to difficult problem of choosing network hyperparameters.
Probably unlikely that McDonalds built that themselves. I would guess they contracted it out. It's been a long time since I knew anyone in their in-house IT division but it was entirely back office stuff not public facing.

This book was my greatest buy ever! I once went to Fry's electronics to their book section - my expectation was to find only popular books there, when lo and behold, I see this book on compilers. I turn it over to look at the price tag, thinking I'll have to shell out something like $80 for the book and to my shock and surprise the tag says,... wait for it... $0.01
That's right one cent! At first I think this is some kind of prank and somebody peeled off a price sticker from some discounted stale candy or something and stuck it on this book. I'm of half a mind to see if I can buy slip this book by the store checker and have them just scan the one cent price tag and not to a double take. But my concsience gets the better of me and I walk up to a store clerk point out the one cent price tag and ask them to do a real price check so I can find out the fair price. The clerk looks up the book in his computer and says, nope that is the correct price in their system! So I bought "Engineering a Compiler 2nd Ed. By Cooper & Torczon" for $0.01! My greatest book buy ever!
Perhaps you're misreading it? Is the issue wealth, or the concentration? If diversity in investment is a positive, wouldn't we all benefit from less concentration/more diversity?
tl;dr: the old magic ring buffer trick
This book blew my head off when it first came out (I used to work in the space). Highly recommend.
I disagree with this pretty strongly, actually. The best skill you can get from SICP-level exercises is looking at the code and being completely confident that you understand it and that it is correct. The best way to use them is to write the code without running it, and once you are sure, review it with someone else to find out if you were right.

This breaks down a bit around chapters four and five where you are plugging in parts of a larger code base, and the accidental complexity starts to dominate.

Isn't trickle down economics supposed to redistribute portions of that wealth? If you agree that trickle down isn't working because the elite are capturing it for themselves, then you could conclude that them being rich is a contributing factor to these people being poor. No?
I've been looking at this but I don't really know Haskell (just f#). In your opinion is it worth trying before knowing a Haskell? I'm mostly interested because I wish to learn f-star as well, which also has dependent types.

That was great, thanks for posting it.

However, I think these kinds of shock headlines are still somewhat useful. They help remind me that money doesn't really work the way I imagine it does in everyday life. It also reflects the control that a few individuals have over money, if not wealth/resources.
I would start with public proxy lists like HideMyAss. I can't imagine foreign users pay premium for VPN services like IPVanish, etc.
Er, the critique that you have to understand everything else was your critique, not mine.

Anyway, my argument for the 50-50 gender balance being "right" is that it's the null hypothesis. Absent specific data, one should assume that every industry should have a 50-50 balance.

This is basically 2, except that my confidence about that statement depends a lot on the existence of data that would disprove the null hypothesis. I have little data about other industries, so while I would say that, yes, every industry should have a 50-50 split, my confidence about such a statement is pretty low for almost all industries; I can easily be convinced that there are physiological or sociological factors that justify a non-50-50-split.

I have much more data about tech, so I make the same claim that tech should have a 50-50 split that I make about industry. However, I am much more confident in that statement because I've seen a lot of attempts to reject the null hypothesis that haven't panned out. I would have to see some evidence that's at odds with a lot of existing evidence in order to be convinced of a different split.

I would venture that every single Current Era genocide has been deontological.
that's a really interesting article.. I think the more surprising fact is that 7.5% of the bottom 10% are in the US. That's 50 million US citizens. That's pretty shocking.

Edit: although since we're talking about people who have negative net worth.. perhaps it's only because they're able to borrow so much. I doubt a poor Indian or Nigerian would be able to borrow $100K for college.
Given how often they came under attack, I don't blame them for taking a "belt and suspenders" approach.

You imply government policy does not follow trends and whims, which is observably false.

The wiki entry of Nash equilibrium [1] and this recent preprint on improving GAN training [2] may help you understand the link between GAN and game theory. To me, this link seems plausible but very vague so far. Training GAN has not directly benefited from the math foundation of game theory. Correct me if I am wrong.

Not making the information on general contests (rather than a few narrow cases) readily available makes it more likely that people that rely on only the county site for information won't contest tickets (thinking that there is no procedure available for their circumstance), which reduces costs associated with contested tickets.
News sites don't get it. There is no story I'm interested in reading in the WSJ or NYT that I can't find on a dozen other free news sites. Sure they do investigative pieces, but if they are really noteworthy they'll get reported on elsewhere within hours. I would never consider paying for a news site.

DVDFab 3D Video Toolkit
Yeah, this problem is basically unsolvable if you wish to have { characters anywhere in your page from server-side rendering.

- Have the possibility of {{ and }} in your server-side output (or whatever symbols you configured Angular for)

- Have Angular.JS on a page with server-side output

Choose one.

It's important to realize that this affects things like user input as well. So form initials/form defaults can also be affected by this issue!

A bit of a silly way to fix this problem is to modify your server-side escaping function (surely you have this!) to "escape" {{ with {<zero-width space>{. This will mess up things that need to be equal to each other, and can poison user input (because of form initials) but will protect you from this issue.

Because aluminum is literally less durable than steel alloys, and steel chains are way more durable than belts, with a single speed bike.

If you leave your bike out in the elements and don't maintain it, any parts that do not survive prolonged exposure to heat cycle, water, oxidation, salt, etc will deteriorate. But that isn't even metal durability, that's just plain weather. Any bike will deteriorate outside.

Another downside is aluminum is stiffer than steel, making for a rougher ride unless you add suspension, get softer tires or significantly change geometry.
From that slack convo, I disagreed. DTLS specifies everything for UDP: what happens if you receive messages out of order? or if the datagram length is not enough for a message? or if you drop messages? or if someone actively MITM you (easy in UDP)? DTLS specifies all these things. Noise doesn't. It's up to you to find out a way to make it work for UDP. Not that Noise specifies how to implement it on top of TCP, but it's more straight-forward there.

I was also told that Wireguard uses Noise on top of UDP, so it would be interesting to see what they did there.

Another good point for Noise: if you're planning to implement a TLS-like protocol from scratch, I would go for Noise instead of TLS. It's just simpler, lighter and easy to customize to your own needs.

Fair point. I guess I never see the prophet thing but his ideas are interesting so I tend to follow Kay's work, if only to blend it with many other things, not so closely aligned with his views (ex: Lamport being close to opposite of Kay).

I think the whole pedantic "Alan Kay's OOP" thing comes from his coinage of the term vs. the practical application stemming from the Simula school of object orientation. I have no horse in the race so I really wish one sense of the term would be renamed.

The libjpeg-turbo medium exploits are (as they said) interesting:

However, more interesting were the two medium vulnerabilities, which were initially reported as DoS bugs in the libjpeg-turbo library but on further investigation were found to be issues with the JPEG standard itself. These issues were reproduced across multiple JPEG implementations, can be triggered by entirely legal JPEGs, and so are not easy to mitigate in any JPEG library itself.

In regards to length, well, that's how namespacing works. Although that is likely part of what has contributed to it receiving less traction.
$425bn/3.6bn = $118 avg.
Now, the $425bn are not liquid assets, so we can argue that each of the 3.6bn individuals on the bottom half are worth a lot, lot, more than $120 each (worth in the same sense as measuring the net worth of billionaires). For starters, they own thousands of labor hours. Maybe the problem is that we cannot create enough jobs and it is easier to blame Zuck and friends?

It is a very dangerous idea to seek a fairier distribution of wealth by taking it from the rich. If you doubt it go ask Venezuelans or Cubans if it worked out for them.
The irony of that is that in the pre-ACA days, if you did get cancer (or were diagnosed early on-set), in theory, you could go get a job with group healthcare and even with a known diagnosis, you would receive that policy and could immediately receive benefits under that employer group health plan.

I think that you grossly overestimate what a $200k income actually gets you in terms of ability to aggregate wealth. If you're hoping to work until you're 65 and live off of a meager 401(k), then sure. Have at it. If you want an early and fat retirement, you'll need at least $300k salary. Large annual bonuses ($100k-$250k range) with a $200k salary would also be sufficient.

$200k salary alone is solidly middle class.

"idealist sophomores" Personal attacks suggest a weak argument.

Something being the law doesn't negate its qualities. The law is enforced through the threat of violence. Ignoring this fact is euphemizing what your political ideology is actually endorsing. The fact that laws are enforced through the threat of violence is extremely important, because it tells us why a humane society does not use the law to punish consensual activity or noncompliance with morally illegitimate demands (e.g. the demand by income tax law on the population to surrender its private property and privacy rights).
