> To shit all over nutritionists because you don't understand the science

What makes you think A) that's my motivation or B) I don't understand the science? I'm not a nutritionist, but I'm well-versed in statistics and hypothesis testing, so I am at least equipped to make general observations about the predictive power of the field.

> or don't think the science is moving fast enough

When did I ever say anything to that effect? The hard biological sciences are moving extremely quickly, and soon nutrition will be subsumed into computational chemistry like the rest.

> Science is science.

And some fields of science have very low predictive power, like current nutrition. Do you really put psychology on the same ground as particle physics?

> We scoff at the shamans of last centuries, and in a few centuries from now we'll be scoffed at too.

This is pretty much exactly what I'm saying about nutritionists, but for some reason you appear to be mad at me about it.
I think jd is mostly plain old interpreted J. There are a few shared libraries to add functionality to core J, but it's mostly just J. You can probably get a non-commercial license if you ask nicely.
This also means they're transitioning from being a neutral part to being curators.

So you think Google shows you a list of sites sorted alphabetically by URL or something?

Google is famous specifically for PageRank, which is curation.
How many of us actually catch up with our facebook friends who are not already part of our friend circle? Yet, your facebook friends list is already packed with people who you know (some well. some not so well). So it's a great place to start to expand your social circle and do stuff with people outside your usual groups of friends. The point of the app is to get people to meet up face to face, and your phonebook/facebook contacts are a good place to start, right?
I haven't tried Go myself and I've been meaning to, but I have spent the last 3 years writing Scala code. Before learning Scala I didn't have any real experience with FP, and I think that was the real learning hurdle for me. Once I learned the FP ideas Scala became my preferred language. I think it's really funny but Java and C# have been becoming more Scala like, and to some extent the latest version of JavaScript are also starting to become Scala like. What I have come to accept is that Scala does take people time to learn, but it's not typically Scala the language, it's the FP aspects of it that are the stumbling blocks.

PS. I also work on a 100k Scala program and can go from clean to compiled in less than 2 minutes, and incremental compiles are extremely fast.

I've found the nature of the idea is quite important as well.

For example for a long time I used to do very "philosophical" projects.

Huge ambitious ones where before you even start you already know it's by definition going to take years for it to get to somewhere worthwhile.

Except I wasn't ready to commit to such things, and I knew it.

That tiny half-assed part of a huge project will not amount to anything.

So overtime I accumulated a great graveyard of "this would be cool if I had worked on it for a year instead of 2 weeks" projects.

On the other hand if the idea is small and practical you can work on something for 3 weeks and have something nice and practical that is a concrete achievement.

So if finishing is your goal and you don't have tons of time to dedicate to a project my advice is to ask yourself how practical and realistic is it for you to finish an implementation of that idea in your desired time-frame?

If it's a huge idea you have to accept the reality that in your amount of time you can't finish a significant % of it.

And 5% of a huge project is often not as useful or impressive as 120% of a tiny project.
IMO it's the weakest of the series not including the reboots in the 2000's which I don't even consider canon and there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise :P

I hadn't heard about the shooting, but I think you've asked a pretty interesting question-one I will admit just looking at the reaction to Spencer alone I'm afraid to find an answer to.

Regardless of which "side" is more in the right or alternatively (see what I did there?) wrong about it, however you want to define "it", things are escalating towards a weird place and the terminus doesn't look pretty just by how we've gone about the last few weeks.
i think the law in California requires that a physician or health care practitioner give the order to the lab. i don't think the average patient in California is allowed to order their own medical lab tests.

in this particular area, one might argue that Georgia is more enlightened than California.
People very well knew what apps were and why they wanted them on a phone. Especially as phones were slow back in the day and had slow 2G networks (original iPhone), an app was a much more fluid experience than a touch-website.

In fact people wrote apps for rooted iPhones before iOS came out with official app support and an Appstore.

Actually it really does matter. The US collects far more of this data than anybody else and archives far more of it.

Losing that collection or archive would be a disaster for science and a loss for all of humanity. Destroying that data would be reminiscent of ISIS destroying relics in Palmyra except that destroying that data jeopardizes our future.

This is an exceptional article. I was a lobbyist in Washington for 10 years, and I teach grassroots activism classes. Calling has proven to be vastly more effective than emails. When people sign up for newsletters, or receive "action alerts" and think by emailing and pressing a button they're doing something, really, you're not. Call the offices. Show up in person, on a weekday, during work hours. Be polite, and all that, but know it's just too easy to send and ignore emails. A larger commitment to delivering your message will gain more attention.

That's very kind of you. Thanks. I think I understand how you do it. You just tag the git commit and get that value in the build by using $CI_BUILD_TAG?

The description for that variable says it's only available when building a tag. Does that just mean the commit needs to be tagged before a push?

Update: I just found this, which is probably exactly what I want to do: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-ci/issues/637

Update 2: Wait. What? This doesn't sound right. Now I'm confused: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/#tags

Update 3: It seems those are 2 different types of "tag", both mentioned in the same configuration subobject. Crazy.
But it's not about getting users to talk to strangers. The app is only meant to help you do stuff with people you already know, but are not necessarily good friends... in other words, people you might have only met a couple of times and find interesting enough to want to catch up with.
Or remove the larger paddles and put the smaller ones in their place. I have a couple of Scuff controllers and got used to how you had to give their paddles a good hard press to get a reliable response, so the switched-around smaller paddles on the Elite controller were a little too easy to knock initially. I eventually got used to how responsive the Elite controllers paddles are with the added benefit of having more grip space by removing the larger set, even compared to the Scuffs. Now the Scuffs feel like using a potato - very plastic-y and dull compared to the all-metal magnetic-locking set. It's like the difference between a quality chef knife and one purchased from a $2 store.

Also love the circular all-metal D-pad and thumb-stick extensions...and switches providing adjustable travel for the triggers...and the configuration toggle switch. It's a sweet piece of hardware.

Our jobs would still exist in the absence of the current overbearing IP system. The legal structure would just be slightly different. There are any number of ways companies could continue to have proprietary technology without patents, and even without copyrights.
Abusing Contributors is not OK
There was a documentary on the BBC about India a couple of years ago. In one scene a worker the filmmakers had been following got fired from his office job. He calmly left the building, went down the street and immediately got a new job in a scrapyard working as a welder after spending two minutes demonstrating that he could indeed weld. Not sure how representative that is but in that sort of world losing one's job really wouldn't be such a big deal.

Easy there.. I was not advocating any OS/instance level changes by Google. It is just that GCP seems to abstract away concepts like internet gateways and NAT instances, perhaps making the switch to IPv6 on GCP easier than AWS.
> When there is a broad consensus across the scientific community about climate change, does it even matter at this point if the data has been changed?

There's more to climate science than the yes/no of whether climate change is a thing. We don't just need to know it's happening--we want to know details of how to model it, what different inputs have what affects, what the feedback loops are and how strong they are, how they and other effects interact...

> The U.S isn't the only country that collects this data. So even if changed, it doesn't matter.

Many countries collect data, but presumably the sets of data collected differ, and more data is better. Losing a large subset of our climate data would hurt advances in climate modeling.
It seems a little odd that Germany has so many of the world's leading small arms manufacturers. I guess it's mostly the general manufacturing expertise.

> The Mediterranean diet has been linked to longer lifespans

Did you read anything I wrote? Every single fad diet in the world has multiple scientific papers showing how great it is. (p = 0.05. Nevermind that there were 1000 research projects about this fad diet that didn't get published because they didn't reject the null hypothesis, so who cares. Nevermind that nutrition scientists don't practice good behavior to mitigate the effect of the base rate fallacy on popular subjects.)

Almost no scientific fields practice enough discipline to have very high predictive power. Particle physics mitigates base-rate failures by having an extremely high confidence requirement (5 sigma). Even with absolute best practices, it's sometimes not enough. http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-control-group-is-ou...

Nutrition science is nowhere near best practices.
Lakhpat: The Ghost Town of Gujarat
Hey, that's a really cool project.

We haven't tried going directly from image to calories yet, and I'm not sure that we ever will. Instead the plan is to do end-to-end portion size prediction for some of the classes. Segmentation would be cool but it's really hard to get the data for it.

By the way, plotting images with matplotlib is a pain. Try using HTML with base64 encoded images instead. Something like this should work:

def base64image(path_or_image, prefix='data:image/jpeg;base64,'):
s = BytesIO()
get_pil_image(path_or_image).save(s, format='JPEG')
return prefix + base64.b64encode(s.getvalue()).decode('utf-8')

def show_images(paths_or_images, predictions=None, sz=200, urls=False):
from IPython.core.display import display, HTML
predictions = predictions if predictions is not None else []
img_tags = map(lambda p: '''
<div style="display: inline-block; margin: 2px; width: {sz}px; height: {sz}px; position: relative">
<img src="{b}"
style="max-height: 100%; max-width: 100%;
position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
border: {bsz}px solid rgba(255, 0, 0, {pred});"/>
</div>
'''.format(b=p[0] if urls else base64image(p[0]), pred=1 - p[1] if p[1] is not None else 0, sz=sz, bsz=5),
zip_longest(paths_or_images, predictions))
display(HTML('<div style="text-align: center">{}<div>'.format(''.join(img_tags))))
This is a great article, and should be widely read beyond that piece of succinct eating advice. For example, this is a great paragraph:

> In many cases, long familiarity between foods and their eaters leads to elaborate systems of communications up and down the food chain, so that a creature’s senses come to recognize foods as suitable by taste and smell and color, and our bodies learn what to do with these foods after they pass the test of the senses, producing in anticipation the chemicals necessary to break them down. Health depends on knowing how to read these biological signals: this smells spoiled; this looks ripe; that’s one good-looking cow. This is easier to do when a creature has long experience of a food, and much harder when a food has been designed expressly to deceive its senses — with artificial flavors, say, or synthetic sweeteners.

In fact, I recently read a book, The Dorito Effect which goes into this in much, much more detail, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. I bought it thinking it would be a light read, based on the title and cover, but it was more engaging, better researched, and more informative than I expected.

I remember reading somewhere that the modularity requirement was basically written to make sure the P320 won. No, I can't recall where or cite.
Well depends on your definition of many. Seems like 35% of Americans dont believe climate change is man made. So I don't think this can be framed as just a debate between people wanting public vs private counter measures. There is also still a very large group of people (including many in the Trump administration) that are skeptical of the whole concept.

> Is this supposed to be a joke? … there is no way they increase bugs.

No, it's not supposed to be a joke.

Steve McConnell 1993 observed density is proportional to source program length, so this should be obvious to every programmer: If a small program (as measured in source code bytes) is more likely to be a correct program, then this follows.

A major issue with discussing programming is the sheer number of people who believe they know how to program, when any non-programmer could see quite obviously that they don't: A professional bridge-builder doesn't often fail to build a bridge, but a professional CMS programmer seems to unable to get much past hello world without a bug or two; Less code will therefore produce less bugs.
> If you start doing good, very soon you are swarmed with patients 24/7.

I'd argue that the answer to this is, "Sorry, but we're full up on appointments that day/week/etc". And if you start needing to book your normal clients too far out, you stop taking new patients. The fact that people want to see a doctor doesn't mean they get to see that doctor. The answer is not to take more patients but give each one less time, resulting in sub-par treatment.

Because what the globe needs is yet another company pandering to tech elites and ignoring the huge numbers of people out there of modest means? I mean seriously, Apple does all this stuff you're saying, pulling in devs with the shiny stuff, and targeting the SF yuppie... and this helps the people in Spain and India how? Not to mention that you're talking about the market segment already occupied by Android. Mozilla was trying to cater to those left behind.

Mozilla's raison d'etre isn't to push libre software per se. It's to enable the masses; libre software is merely an asset in that mission.

Yep, that's exactly what it is.
1. The impact on Wikipedia is widely discussed: Huge donation drives with only the smallest amount of money going to Wikipedia development and evolution. Wikipedia could be much much more if the money would have been spend on Wikipedia instead of a myriad of other things.

Nothing, but iPhones only load software signed by Apple (on the app store), so said alternative SDK would be useless as Apple won't sign software made with it (and regardless, they won't sign an alternative browser engine as a matter of policy regardless of which SDK with was made with).

> When there is a broad consensus across the scientific community about climate change, does it even matter at this point if the data has been changed?

It does if the data that was changed is the data that was used to support the consensus.

More generally, all data collected by research that is funded by taxpayers should be collected, cryptographically signed and verified, and archived where any taxpayer can see it. I have never understood why that is not already standard operating procedure.
