I think it depends upon the kids and how far you have to go for adventure.

I grew up in San Jose and when we were in elementary school, we would take our bikes to the surrounding hills all the time, anywhere from 1-10 miles. One of my brothers, when he was in middle school, would regularly bike to Santa Cruz, which is about 50 miles away.
The reputation of "heavy" was hard-earned back in the bad-old-days (1.3 era) when EVERYTHING NEEDED to be written in java and the JVM still sucked.

I, literally, had a party at work when we got our web app to three days of continuous uptime without an OOM error; nevermind that the early JIT (1.4 era) took 12+ hours to get "warmed up" and give peak performance.

Don't misunderstand me- java's horribleness has given me a pretty nice career so, for that, I love it. For the years and years of broken promises- (OSGi without running out of PermGen? lol) I hate it.

Java is not lightweight by any means; computers are just faster and have more memory.
This is exciting!

Does that mean expressions as well? wiggle, wiggle!
I think that's awesome. The idea that someone can "go bush" and camp out for a week or two without cost or human contact is something we should absolutely preserve.

I love national parks, but the restrictions (while necessary for something that popular/unique) remove a bit of the joy from a natural experience.

Even a more permissive national park (Joshua Tree, for example) feels like a relief after something stricter like Zion or Arches. That said, I can understand why they are very careful with those latter two because they are seriously special places.
So you would have preferred the companies to be less successful? Maybe laid some people off?

Nate Silver has taken a major beating from pretty much everyone in the press when he put Clinton's chances as something like 2/3 IIRC (don't remember the exact number, but it was high, but not as high as 90%). Lots of pundits all around were berating him for being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and inflating Trump's numbers just to draw attention to himself and so on and so forth - right up to the day Trump won. I don't remember any measured ones with 60%. Of course, I can't claim I've seen them all. Which ones were?
Tooling outside of Windows is really bad. I'm not completely discounting VS Code, they have been doing great work and might improve big time, but currently it's not an option.

Second this. Most people new to VB.NET these days are transitioning from VBA and would find C# far more difficult. Engineers in my office don't write much production code and therefore get to pick what they want to solve problems. Python is very popular and the .NET people are split in 1/2 between C# and VB.NET. The C# code is usually better as the people that choose it are more advanced programmers, but the VB.NET crew still crank out time saving tools and like it.

I suspect this is not just an American or British or solely cultural thing but also a number-of-children thing. This seems like it would also be the natural response to having fewer children.

If you have 3-10 kids, you can "afford" to let them off the leash so to speak, if only psychologically. Your kids going missing or getting hurt is an eventuality anyway, maybe.

If you have 1 or 2 kids, you are investing a lot more mindshare per kid and are probably a lot more worried about such roaming as a result.

The easiest way to get back the right to roam, I suspect, would be to simply triple your number of kids. But almost no one is willing to do that for other reasons.
There are plenty of useful closed source services and tools that can be used to support open source projects, or just software development in general. Indeed, they facilitate open source projects with an easy to use service. Is there anything they're doing that prevents or blocks open source development? They do have open source projects that they've made available.

I grew up in a city of 100,000 in the Midwest I was biking to school 4.5 miles at age 12.

I soon figured out I could get detention, miss the bus, but still get home on my bike. Couple that with a habit of getting the mail daily, and I was able to to serve detention without my parents knowledge (I think).
Trump has stated several times that he supports traditional marriage and is not comfortable with gay marriage (http://www.politifact.com/new-york/statements/2016/aug/14/se...). These comments show he has a problem with gay marriage. Just because Trump married an immigrant from one country doesn't mean he can't be a Xenophobe. It is pretty clear based on his comments that he intensely dislikes and fears immigrants from Mexico and from Muslim countries. As far as misogyny, he has made several disparaging comments about women. These comments show that he has a lack of respect for women, and that does not change regardless of whether he has hired women or is married to a women. Simply put, you cannot go around speaking about women as if their only value is their body and then claim you are a feminist. I have not seen outright evidence of antisemitism so I can't comment on that. In fact he is too pro-settlement in Isreal for my liking. For racism, there have been documented cases where his businesses have shown discriminatory and racist behavior. He also speaks of (and likely treats) hispanic people very poorly and claimed Obama was from Kenya for several years. That is not fake news. That is just taking examples of Trump's comments and behavior and applying appropriate descriptors to them.

/r/altright was banned for doxing. An example can be found on imgur http://imgur.com/a/pZ8yN where you can see not only doxing, but crowd funding to support doxing of an individual they disagreed with.
There is a great 99PI podcast about barbed wire, in case you haven't heard it. Talks about the freedom to roam and the limitations that arose after the American West was settled. I find those desert and grazing lands pretty magical, so I can sympathise with the romantic ideals of travelling, camping carefully, moving on, etc.

Devil's Rope:
http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/devils-rope/
Only child, grew up in the 90's in a neighborhood of one and two child families. We were all wild roamers, generally disappearing on weekends and summer days from sun up to sun down. Usually at someone else's house or in the creeks and woods between people's houses.
this seems like a pretty standard enforcement of their policy - since real-life information was being shared on that community for the purposes of targeted harassment, banning has always been their primary recourse
The first amendment only applies to the government making rules restricting speech.

Reddit is privately owned and run, so they get to make whatever rules they want.
I have a 4 year old, in my mid 40s, and think about this a lot for some reason.

In the 70s during the summer, when I was around 7, we would wake up, eat breakfast, go out and about wherever we wanted, come back for lunch, out again, come back for dinner, and then out again past dark to play flashlight tag.

I think I would be charged with child endangerment these days if my kid (3 years in the future) was doing stuff like that. And frankly, I think I've been conditioned to think that I would be a negligent parent if I did this.

The media is part of the problem. 24/7 news, social media, and channels like ID (real life murder 24/7) scare the bejeezus out of people. But besides that, we have an acceptance of nanny-state government - that the government should be a much closer "partner" in child rearing than 40 years ago.

I always say, there's a consequence for everything, including seemingly innocuous laws to protect people.

But as a parent of a 4-year old in 2017 (and a 7 year old in 2020), I know I would be gnashing my teeth if my kid was roaming the streets and woods all day long...even if I did it.

Freedom of speech*

*Doesn't mean freedom from consequences
[deleted as per incorrect information]
Freedom of speech means protection against the Government, Reddit is a private organisation and it doesn't apply.

Also Freedom of Speech does not mean Freedom from Consequences.
I had a similar experience in the rural south in the 90s, for what it's worth. I was largely given free reign to tromp around the (expansive) woods, had a bb gun that I liked to tote around, and at one point had a motorcycle - a ratty little 50cc honda dirtbike that I repeatedly wrecked into ditches and briar patches.

Point is, at least for "country" millennials, I think plenty of roaming did happen.
The 1st Amendment of the United States applies to Congress, not everything. Even in that context, freedom of speech has limits (e.g. libel, slander, child pornography, sexual harassment, etc.).

It's not unreasonable to ban hate-speech.
Some explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/5ri97o/ralt...

"There is a website I can't link that is taking money to crowdfund doxxing efforts. After the admins banned that domain, the mods on /r/altright continued to manually approve submissions to that site and added them as sticky/announcement posts. My guess is that is the reasoning behind the ban."

So they got banned for repeatedly and intentionally, with moderator support, circumventing Reddit's rules -- not for 'suppression of free speech' or anything like that. I'm sure the admins were glad to be rid of them, but, they really brought it on themselves.
Think how many developers you could add by adding Higher Kinded Types to F#. You could poach a ton from Scala/Haskell land. Alas, many of us can't leave until that happens. :)
That, and I think my grandma used a trick. She'd let me out in the wild, but the next meal was never more than 2 or 3 hours away. This limited how far I could roam without feeling like it did.

You wouldn't just skip a meal when you're 6 or 7. Not when everything's so delicious!

At home, in the city, it was similar. Sure I could do whatever I wanted between school and when my parents came home 3 hours later. But there's only so much you can do in 3 hours.
oh brother/sister...your experience mirrors mine completely. 6-7 years old and wandering around woods, the pool, etc..
I'm pretty sure there aren't many people who consider a right to harass to be essential to freedom of speech.
That's what I just said, but you won't be modded down for it like I was.
I'm very interested in these lectures and am looking forward to digging into it.

I was wondering if you could provide some feedback on whether deep learning would be useful in classifying images that have text or not. For example, looking at a set of images I wish to classify the ones that have text and the ones that don't have text. A dataset could be like this:

Thanks for organizing this.
I get what you are saying. What I'm trying to say is typing takes too much from me, in terms of complexity over-head, that I'm better without. I found this is true in practice now. As I said before, I write tests to do what you say types do - for me, that is enforcing meaning. Types do allow for easy refactoring, and I think that is weakness for untyped languages.
One thing I could never figure out, and it is probably because I didn't study the docs enough, is when I could delete the archive files. What is the best reference on this. OR, maybe I was trying to reinvent the wheel, I didn't really look at 3rd party libs - only postgresql options (plus my glue on top) - is the only right way to use the archive (file shipping) solution to combine it with a 3rd party?
If it is a violation of tos shouldn't they ban the user instead of deleting the subrredit?

Edit: now i've read the comment by 'ajkjk and that makes more sense
six weeks ago I would have regarded the idea of doing this as inimical to the principles of free discourse and debate that I feel are fundamental to democracy and indeed to small-l liberal civilization in general.

now I find myself wondering whether my principles are being contaminated by the immense personal anger I feel, or whether perhaps my principles weren't as rationally derived as I had previously believed.
So your SOLE contribution is capital, right?

Why would I go to you and not a VC firm? I sure as hell don't want to work for someone like you....

I don't think they really had much of a choice. It doesn't look good for a media company to allow neo-Nazi content to be posted.
The important part: the group was not banned for their beliefs or their speech. It was banned for violating the TOS, in particular for doxxing.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with about 40 people, generating rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. We’ve gotten more than $2M in multiple grants from the NIH, and last fall closed a $15M series A led by Lux Capital. We’re using imaging experiments to turn human cell experiments into massive amounts of rich biological data so we can find treatments using ML and data science for many diseases as fast as possible.

Hiring:

* Software engineering: Full-stack Software Engineer - Front-end Software Engineer - Machine Learning Engineer

* Data science: Data Analyst - Data Scientist - Applied Mathematician - ML Researcher - Computational Biologist

* Technical HR Specialist/Manager - Technical Team Development Operation (New--if these posts aren't up yet, feel free to apply via Data Scientist and call out your interest in these positions)

http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

> The first amendment

There's more to free speech than one country's constitution. From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

> Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
It's definitely not what you said.

I think you are being downvoted because it is being perceived as implicating that reddit is making a political statement about Alt-right.
People jump to compare to digg or clamping down on "free speech" but groups that dox or participate in harassment don't deserve to be sheltered.

Sure, reddit started as a sort of "libertarian dream" but it's pretty clear at this point that some groups choose to abuse that.
Fox didn't invent that claim - Radio Canada reported it[1], and so did CBC. Of course, this claim was wrong, but it's not Fox's fault for repeating Canadian reporting the words of eyewitnesses. Of course, eyewitnesses are often unreliable so one has to be careful not to take it as the final truth. That applies to every "hot news" reports from any source.
And certainly Fox is not responsible for anybody in the government using this claim to justify anything - they could as well use it if Fox didn't exist at all, since it was reported by the Canadian source.

Agreed - enforcing the constitution is a tag team effort between the judiciary and the people. I would prefer it if there were required judicial approval for new laws and EOs, but alas that's not our system.
It's not unreasonable to ban hate-speech

In the US it is, in general, unconstitutional to ban hate speech (except when it also happens to be unprotected speech, such as a threat).

But that has absolutely no bearing on the subject at hand, of course, so I'm not sure why you bring it up.
It's a ban on doxxing, not on hate speech. There are plenty of things on reddit people consider hate speech, but they remain. r/altright was worse than plain hate speech, it was simply hate (in the form of harassment, through doxxing).
I didn't say open sourcing the code was the only important thing.

And I don't give a rat's ass about looking serious :)
It's still a long way to go for a durry!
4GHz 12-core in 65W isn't going to happen. (Intel is currently at 2.1GHz: http://ark.intel.com/products/93356/Intel-Xeon-Processor-D-1... )

Hurricane could probably run at 3GHz but to get to 4GHz might require serious work. Apple hasn't used eDRAM but in theory they could adopt it. The rest looks like no big deal.
It is true that when the average crackpot thinks something, it is not newsworthy. However, when the POTUS thinks (and especially when he tweets) something crazy/abnormal, it is newsworthy. If the leader of the US believes something crazy, the citizens should hear about it. Unfortunately, Trump doesn't like to be made fun of by the media so he just lies and says it's fake news when someone reports on his abnormal tweets and comments.
That's not true.

Good point and actually it cuts against my judicial review argument given FISA's reputation (and stats) for approving virtually everything.
I think there are a lot more roads/freeways now than back then as other commenters have pointed out. We've built our cities for cars, not for people. One possible side-effect of self driving cars, is it may make it safer for kids to wander again. I know I'd love to just attach a GPS tracker to my now 1yr old daughter in 5 years, and let her go where she pleases here in SF.
no, shame on those who dox with malicious intent, and they got what they deserved for violating the T&C of Reddit, but still deserve a kick in the short and curly's for doxing. Alt Right is a turd blossoming community filled with misinformed hateful people of little merit, who have incredibly fragile egos.
Well this should be a sane, civil conversation...
It absolutely is what danjoc said.

danjoc said that freedom of speech is only for those who own the press. zdw replied and said Reddit is privately owned and can do whatever they want. I presume that danjoc interpreted "privately owned" as an instance of "those who own the press", which does not seem to be a stretch at all.

Do you still not see it?
I think every major action that results in a difference in presentation of information should have one, brief, direct animation. Any more, and it's horrifying.
That is just about the textbook definition of doxxing. Hunting down the real life information about a person and posting it on the internet.

This has blown up in reddit's face before (boston bomber) and so the site has a very very strict anti-doxing rule. It isn't up to reddit to hunt down that individual, it is up to the police.

No, that's not how dictators act. How dictators act is they do what they want and if you resisted, they put you in jail or kill you. Dictators don't need negotiating tactics because negotiation is part of democratic process which requires consensus. Dictators don't negotiate, they dictate.
> It is not immediately clear what specific alleged disclosure prompted the ban.

I'm sure they'll come up with something. Relevant discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/undelete/comments/5riav8/the_admins...

Then you probably have not read the article.

EDIT: inserted critical "not"
>> I suspect this is not just an American or British or solely cultural thing but also a number-of-children thing. This seems like it would also be the natural response to having fewer children.

I suspect the same. When the first child is born, parents tend to be extremely protective of them. By the time 3rd, 4th is born, they are in "been there, done that" mode.

Further, by the time the 3rd and 4th kids are born, the older ones are already starting to take up some responsibilities. That includes, rearing the younger siblings.

Note: Not talking about graphs or trees
That depends on the location I guess; where I live in Spain kids can basically do whatever. Hell, they come to parties with their parents that last until 8 in the morning. There we do not have the paranoid thing that guys cannot pick up / play with children of others without being called a sex offender either. He is talking about western world, but I am in Cambodia now and here kids seem to be allowed to wander (or boat in floating villages) very far and in cities I saw almost no parents picking up kids from primary school; they all seem to walk away alone.

In the Netherlands, for the parents I know, are also not very restrictive or paranoid, even in cities.

Maybe this is fear induced US/UK stuff mostly? I do not know about the US but the UK parents I know seen weirdly over protective to me as the article states. Not sure that is good for children, especially considering that most kids, if not allowed something, will try to do it anyway or excessively do it when older and/or away from home. Like when relatively young UK guys came to a campground in Amsterdam on their own, we (Dutch) were looking in horror at 17-18 year olds smoking weed, drinking, passing out and vomiting basically 24/7. As my parents told me to try anything, I did not feel the inclination to try a lot and as I did not have to sneak around, I never felt the need to do things in excess when away from home.
