A while back I did a fairly exhaustive price comparison for groceries and household goods, between Amazon and Jet.

My anecdotal experience was that Jet.com was almost never better priced. Couple that with the extremely fast delivery of Amazon, and it was a no brainer...

Also worth adding that their "price drop as you shop" felt like a gimmick. Yea, the price did drop as you added new items to your cart. But it was pennies. Literally, pennies.
IDK enough about ML to guess whether this is a uniquely useful dataset, and it is def good they are doing this...but.

Quora and Yelp are ao user-hostile I try to not even open their links. The mobile homepage is literally oath signin buttons...that is it. The blog article on mobile has the large follow button fixed to the bottom of screen, hoping I fat finger it to bail me out of my fav app (a browser) and put it on my device.

On a computer, at least browsing some questions is possible, but it is annoying they won't let non-technical users just see these questions on the mobile web.

I am sure spam & ad revenue is better for them, but there was a time where developers focused on making an app/site useful to attract signups. To be fair, Quora has never done this, but others have followed shit in te last 2-3 years.

I hope this is useful to some, maybe I'll even play with the data, but I can't support Quora by visiting the actual site.
The PR mentions he'll continue to serve on the LinkedIn executive team, so does that mean he'll continue to be based in MV? That'll be quite a change! (and challenge for him, I assume).

One of the things that is pretty apparent but is not discussed much is maturation. "Nerds" are typically slow to hit puberty, get at the bottom of the pecking order since essentially it's like kids competing with the grown ups and then by the time they graduate it's too late to "make up" for it.

Reunions are actually quite entertaining to observe from that perspective - you'd see things like a tall and athletic "nerd" standing next to a short skinny-fat "jock" and wonder "what happened?"
I'll draw it out when we finish up the game :) - what the guys above me said (process of elimination)
Chess image. if you download it it's called base64.jpg
Personally, even when I do want something resembling type checking, I've found pattern matching / destructuring to be more than sufficient. With Elixir's structs, this is trivial:

def some_function(SomeStruct{} = some_struct) do
some_struct.foo + some_struct.bar
end

Or better yet, if I only want certain fields:

def some_function(SomeStruct{foo: foo, bar: bar}) do
foo + bar
end

This way, if the "type check" fails (that is, someone tries to use "some_function/1" on something that isn't a SomeStruct), there'll be a clear error to that effect.

Between this and protocols, I very rarely feel the need to reach for something like Dialyzer. YMMV, of course.
Even available on Homebrew on OSX (doesn't yet have 2.0 final it appears)
I think for the chess game we have the play the game backwards.. I am trying to play the game forward, but not clear what is the delineation for the comma or period in the lat lon.. maybe black can put white into check?

It's surprising to see Boston this high on the list despite the insurmountable limits it faces building upward:

1) The Logan height restriction that much of downtown faces due to the airport's proximity:

2) The city's most desirable neighborhoods (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, Charlestown Navy Yard) are protected as historical districts:

That's more related to 'stochastic gradient descent' for 'matrix completion'. The key difference is that Simon Funk's algorithm doesn't treat missing entries as a zero, whereas using linear algebra based techniques on the observed data matrix (formed by putting zeros for unobserved entries) would try to predict the missing entries as zero exactly.

Also related is the 'alternating least squares' algorithm.

Erlang was invented 30 years ago to solve problems that were not easily solvable by the back then prevalent programming languages. The claim that Erlang hasn’t brought anything new to the table couldn’t be further from the truth. Designing concurrent, fault-tolerant programs was not a problem solved in a satisfying way by the programming languages and technologies that were mainstream back then, which is exactly why Ericsson pursued the path of inventing their own programming language. I suggest everyone to read Joe Armstrong’s paper “Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of software errors”. It’s easy to read and mind expanding even if you do not intend to use Erlang. It can also save one from public embarrassment when one claims ridiculous things as parent and many other remarks in the other comments.
I'm not sure why the author included this parting shot

App Developers: have you heard of ObjectBox already?
It's a new mobile database; it works with objects and is optimized for performance. We only released it (beta) and appreciate any thoughts on our project: http://greenrobot.org/announcement/introducing-objectbox-beta/
true but some of that is a reaction to how they were treated when they were younger. My cousin once remarked to me, that when I was younger I used my sense of humor as a way to reject people before they could reject me. Sounds like a self defeating behavior that arose randomly. Then I lost 130 pounds and discovered some people are treated better on the average and far less often rejected.

I suspect a lot of unpopular kids internalized the lessons of their unpopularity, became bitter, and began to engage in behaviors which made them more so and rationalized it for them. On some level it changed to a choice they had made.
do these somehow correspond to chess move notation?
https://blog.discordapp.com/how-discord-handles-push-request...

Erlang has its uses and Elixir has its uses. Dismissing Elixir's userbase as 'pathetic' is pretty rude and a disservice to a pretty incredible language. See the Discord article where they clearly demonstrate Elixir and Genstage are ready for production and can be used to write performant services.

I get that you really like Erlang and its quirks, but maybe there are more mature ways of expressing this love than calling Elixir users 'pathetic'.
I agree; I've gotten so used to thinking "oh, it'd be annoying to code Erlang for that, I'll just use Ruby" that now Elixir exists and "#!/usr/bin/env elixir" works quite well, it never occurs to me to use it.

(Though, even in that setup, there's no way to get an effect equivalent to requiring un-bundled gems from your script in Ruby.)
Nine spaces down, I believe

You work from the key stops (decimal and comma), then go backwards to the only steps that can get you to these stops.
If you start at the bottom-right you can count either up or left. Going 8 places up lands on an 8 (this is the only square where delta from bottom right = number in the square) which means that square was the previous one.

Rinse and repeat.
That was added since I first read the article.

We'll see if it's actually lifted by then, as we've already seen a lot of misdirection and outright lies from the Trump team.

Also from the article:

"The Trump administration has also ordered what it called a temporary suspension of all new business activities at the department, including issuing task orders or work assignments to EPA contractors. The orders were expected to have a significant and immediate impact on EPA activities nationwide."

"Officials at state and local agencies that rely on EPA for funding said they were left in the dark, saying they had received no information from EPA about the freeze."

Why do they need to quash the speech and operations of employees during the transition, other than to have a chilling effect in the department?

Unless you're already appointing leadership like Scott Pruitt, who is actively hostile to the organization's goals and intent on dismantling it from the inside.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/can-t...

Before the inauguration the transition team sent surveys to the Department of Energy and other agencies seemingly meant to ferret out anyone working on climate science. Trump received a lot of criticism for this. A media blackout would be a good time for him to clean house of anyone who disagrees.

Product Manager @ IDXBroker (Real Estate Saas)

Background - Worked in IT/Systems Management for 10 years and eventually moved on to consulting on sites and webapps. Started as UI/UX Dev role at IDX and quickly moved into the Product Manager role. Communication is the biggest part of the job, with linking up projects and managing resources/timelines also taking up a lot of time. You're generally going to be the glue between Marketing/Sales/Support/Business so being knowledgable AND approachable are must have skills. The product is your baby and so you have a huge amount of responsibility on your shoulders. Vision and execution are on you.

I also came to see the latter years of grade school as a kind of petty game. At the time it fed into a bit of subconscious nihilism but I was always optimistic about the future and getting on with my life.

If I could tell myself anything though it wouldn't be what PG recommends here. It'd be,

"Good for you; you figured it out. It's a petty game that has no real consequences. You have more time and ability to shape yourself into whoever you want to be than you're ever going to have again. Make the most of it. Live it up."
Nullables work at a pinch, but they are a poor mans option type.

http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/the-option-type/

Scroll down to "Option vs. Null vs. Nullable" for an explanation of the differences.
We are already there in other sectors. I have worked in Workforce Management and Optimization (WFM/WFO) for the past few years. Scheduling is already common in areas where demand can be easily captured, for example retail banking and contact centers. We use the past data plus other "stuff" to determine the given workload for a position/activity and then schedule employees based on several factors among them are min/max hours, availability, competency, and proficiency. We even have algorithms that determine when you should hire or fire people based on workload.

From my point of view, anything that can measure demand will eventually have automatic scheduling. All those jobs go poof

I think back office is still the current whale in the space. Some of it is harder to determine especially with async work. You are right that thousands of people will continue to lose their jobs here. Back in the day it took my college a long time to process graduation applications. I got a job in that sector that sold software to manage things like students. 6 months of processing buffer down to a button press that takes a few minutes to do everything. So many paper pushes, managers, and other "useless" jobs will go away. Right after that will be those jobs that make sure everything is in order/correct according to business rules and laws. After that will be the huge disruption of lawyers and doctors.

Honestly, I am pessimistic of the future because I see it this way and do not see any political system in my country that is trying to prepare for mass unemployment or people without relevant skills.

I started to type out about how those investments need to eventually end up as a product on the shelf (metaphorically, B2B counts) to keep the supply/demand cycle going, but I don't think that's necessarily true. The money should end up as either all salary, or some salary and some product, but the salary gets spent so the supply/demand wheel keeps spinning.

If too much goes to salary than the investment stops making sense and the rich will hoard cash instead, but I don't think we're in that situation. Could that be why QE was pumping so much money into the economy with inflation staying low? I bet there are statistics about the amount of cash people and companies are hoarding now vs 50 years ago, but there's too many confounding variables for me to figure it out.
Why is it a poor counter-example? I thought it was a pretty good observation.

I suppose the only reason we don't usually experience air scarcity is because the ecosystem services of earth do a really good job providing it.

It's easy to imagine this not being the case. There is clean air scarcity in polluted cities, and of course in some space environments, air might be considered quite valuable and "hoarded".

Water scarcity and water use rights are totally a thing though.

Our letter addresses, among other issues, limits on when deputies may record at protests...

EFF seems unfamiliar with the County Sheriff's jurisdiction: they only cover unincorporated land plus a couple of cities that contract with them to be their police force (e.g. Cupertino). I doubt there has ever been a protest in their jurisdiction since they got BWCs.
I'd consider the two option separate.

Even though it's not the same, I often use their grocery pickup. All the time I'm able to buy products that aren't in the same grocery store I'm picking up from; products that I know are on the shelves aren't available for pickup. I presume they're using a warehouse and distributing order to stores, using the building infrastructure, but for the most maintaining them as separate operations.

You can. At some point someone (probably one of the original devs) released anonymously a vastly updated version of the Dark Engine that Thief (and Thief 2 and System Shock 2) used that not only fixed any issues of the original but added several QoL improvements like antialiasing, raw mouse input, widescreen support, etc and since then he makes sporadic updates. Look for NewDark.

Sadly AFAIK he's still doing that anonymously through a french forum or something, probably because legally he shouldn't have the code. Despite that all modern re-releases of the games that used the Dark Engine (like those on Steam and GOG) are based on NewDark instead of the original engine.

The math is more approachable than it may seem. My recommendation is to read textbooks (not online tutorials or crash courses), which will guide you through the mathematical concepts and notation. Each little bit builds on the previous one, so if you read a few pages a day, every day, then after a few months, then concepts that once seemed very fancy will start to become more intuitive since you've seen the parts arranged in a different way before.
On Monday, news broke that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now barred from communicating with the public. That means no press releases, blogs, messages, or social media postings.
And early this morning, Buzzfeed revealed that The US Department of Agriculture has banned scientists and other employees in its Agricultural Research Service division from sharing the results of its taxpayer-funded research with the broader public.

Well, no surprise here, because they told us what they would do if elected. And this is just a continuation of what happened towards the end of the last Bush admin when govt scientists were required to clear any publicly-directed communication with political appointees.
