In my opinion, kids get the full 'lessons' from both movies and books. Same story, different approach, different outcomes; but it's safe to say different adaptations of Little Red Riding Hood à la Pixar movies & Disney bed time stories provide the child with the full experience.

Oh no, Chapter 5 (Understanding the
typesetting model) and 6 (Extending Patoline) of the book (https://patoline.org/patobook.pdf) are not yet finished, that's what I wanted to read :-)

Did the author try to reverse engineer TeX? Is there anything that Patoline can do better w.r.t. typesetting, for some definition of "better"?
I guess the location also makes the difference, right? And you're working for clients onsite, at their office? How often do you get remote opportunities?

I'm not sure I really get the bank hatred in the story.

Look at it from their side: a man knowingly commits fraud in a way that, for whatever reason, isn't immediately caught, and they likely knew that he knew he was committing fraud due to his conversations with bank employees before he took the money out of the account. They would have started an investigation when their settlement accounts didn't balance. That takes time. When they track it back to him, he refuses to return the money.

No one does lunch to resolve issues. No one cares about the rights of people stealing from them. Banks may not have the best customer service, but they're not Google.

Around here, people who write bad checks get arrest warrants and their pictures posted above the cash register.

Back at my previous company, which was a travel startup, there was a list of curated vacation packages that were created for every weekend. So, the itineraries team used to spend 5 days designing the packages and getting vendors on board, and then they used to fill up a google sheet with the details in it and the devs used to run a script, which used to populate this rows in the database and make any other updates required and it used to show up on the website. The reasons why this worked so well for us:

1. There were at the most 30-40 rows. Google Spreadsheets works amazing for small table sizes (although not as small as 30-40, I'd assume upto 1500-5000 should be fine as well).

2. All non-dev teams were EXTREMELY comfortable with Google Spreadsheets. For people with non-engineering backgrounds, a spreadsheet is an amazing, low-barrier entry to structured data which I believe is what made this solution amazing.

3. The dev team was completely removed as a dependency, and we had staging environments where they would run it first to ensure it was working properly, so a dev could be engaged only if their spreadsheet run wasn't working as expected or due to some other issue. The previous method was a huge email sent out to the devs, who would handcraft it into a JSON, which would then be passed to a script and then written to the database. This required every run to be effectively final.. there were only so many times one could engage a dev.

4. While we had to engage a dev to execute the script, it actually is very easy to integrate a menu option within the google sheets interface itself (if you are using Google Apps) for your domain, which would say something like 'Deploy to Staging', although we never got around to actually building this.

For startups where product turnaround time is required to be short, this works as an amazing solution as it makes so easy for non-tech guys to input data into the system. While there is no doubt that a fully developed panel for these operations would be the best solution, one doesn't always have the luxury of time.
Some demos would be nice.
Not actually. Publing is to showcase both user-generated and brand-generated content. It is not a management or monitoring tool.
Expecting no problems is absurd. Zero is very different from small, in terms of possibility and cost.

The real issue is, how did the system react to this? How does it self-correct? This is where so much of government falls down as they close ranks around themselves, identifying with the role they have first instead of identifying with their fellow citizens.

This is a natural way to be (tribal), but it is also extremely problematic.
>- On death, there is enough downtime to vent frustration at your team

Now that you mention it, dead time in LoL (not sure what the player lingo for it is, "black and white" time?) really is a special timeslot for flaming. The angriest point for a player is also the time they can most easily communicate. If communication ability was uniform throughout the game, there wouldn't be flareups. When players are in action, they have only half the will to type/communicate. Suddenly that dampener is removed.
In Google Analytics, I would have to:

* click on "Websites" (top left of http://gget.it/5e8tyn6g/2.jpg)

* choose the right website in the list (http://gget.it/8jptjvso/3.jpg)

* wait that the page reloads

This, ten times in a row, which is annoying (once per website I manage).

Conclusion: more time spent on clicking twenty times on UI elements than actually looking at the charts.

Nothing's stopping Google from simply charging people to access Youtube. The reason they don't do it is because YT offers network effects and user lock-in that have significant economic benefits. I trust that a large corporation with some of the smartest minds in the world working there would have changed the YT business model if they were worried about their bandwidth costs.

PathNet paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.08734

For artificial general intelligence (AGI) it would be efficient if multiple users trained the same giant neural network, permitting parameter reuse, without catastrophic forgetting. PathNet is a first step in this direction. It is a neural network algorithm that uses agents embedded in the neural network whose task is to discover which parts of the network to re-use for new tasks. Agents are pathways (views) through the network which determine the subset of parameters that are used and updated by the forwards and backwards passes of the backpropogation algorithm. During learning, a tournament selection genetic algorithm is used to select pathways through the neural network for replication and mutation. Pathway fitness is the performance of that pathway measured according to a cost function. We demonstrate successful transfer learning; fixing the parameters along a path learned on task A and re-evolving a new population of paths for task B, allows task B to be learned faster than it could be learned from scratch or after fine-tuning. Paths evolved on task B re-use parts of the optimal path evolved on task A. Positive transfer was demonstrated for binary MNIST, CIFAR, and SVHN supervised learning classification tasks, and a set of Atari and Labyrinth reinforcement learning tasks, suggesting PathNets have general applicability for neural network training. Finally, PathNet also significantly improves the robustness to hyperparameter choices of a parallel asynchronous reinforcement learning algorithm (A3C).
I think a big part of modern analytics is a Javascript component that runs in the browser. Javascript can help you tell crawlers from user agents and repeat clients from large school networks (which all have the same source IP).

One of the author's PhD thesis and the 'Patobook' are on the site, rendered, as examples. Unfortunately though their source doesn't seem to be.

From what I've seen in the Patobook, it seems so similar to Latex (or *TeX perhaps, I'm not familiar with the differences) as to be a re-implementation - so I'm not convinced even what makes it 'modern' as claimed is explained.

With the exception of sections, actually. But you could define `=> <= -> <-` to begin/end (numbered) sections anyway.

I'm a little bit more senior (4 years experience) than a new junior and not a developer per se (work in marketing tech) but my biggest gripe are the hurdles you have to do to reach the hiring manager (or how drawn out some of these processes are). Some of these I've experienced are:

1. Cover letters - I'd rather someone from HR screen my resume and give me a 3 minute call about why I wanted to apply for the job.

2. Take home exercises/psychometrics before having an in person interview

3. Interview with junior staff before an interview (good experience for the staff but I've found them to be a bit unsure of what to ask.)

4. Vetting from HR or recruiters that don't really know the topic but are just looking for keywords which indicate competence (i.e. "SQL","Reporting", "Project Manage","Agile") or want to know why you want to work at the company specifically when the careers website has poor information.

My ideal process would be (for a large company):
Apply with Resume (ideally one-click apply) -> Short Chat with HR on phone -> In person interview with hiring manager -> Interview with senior manager (more on cultural fit and long term fit) or short take home (ability) -> Offer
Yes, this will deter police from retaliating. Rulings like this in other circuits already have. Will it stop it completely? Of course not.

No, they cannot (lawfully) hold you for 24 hours with no reason.

Quick lesson (note: everything I say below is about what is legal, not what might happen -- people (including cops) can do illegal things after all):

Reasonable Articulable Suspicion (RAS) -- A set of specific facts that would cause a reasonable person to believe a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed. You may be detained if a cop has RAS on you. But RAS is a pretty low bar.

If a cop has RAS and is detaining you, he's trying to get Probable Cause (PC) to arrest you. Talking will likely help him get it. I suggest you use your right to remain silent.

If a cop has PC, you can be arrested. In that case, you might spend the weekend in jail before having an opportunity to get bail, or they might just release you.

If you have been unlawfully detained or arrested, you can sue. It won't be easy to win, but you can sue. In many cases, police officers have what is called Qualified Immunity (QI). This means they literally cannot be sued.

But now, in the Fifth Circuit, it's a clearly established right to record. This means that the officers would lose QI and could be sued for their actions.
It's less the actual damages as much as it the defensive medicine that occurs because of the constant risk. If you show up with the flu, but it could be some weird disease that shows up in an MRI, the incentive for the doctor is to get you an MRI.

I used to believe in caps, but I think we could do better than that. Create a no-fault insurance market that pays people without the hassle of civil trials. That has the potential to allow medical professionals to be more open and honest about mistakes they make (similar to the aviation industry). That, in turn, would allow for data-driven decisions about how to make the biggest improvements for the lowest dollar amount.

I think it's a nice idea and probably fits the use case of some small blogs, but for anything that's more serious you'd want much more than just unique visitors and referrers.

If you have a website that is making you money (saas service, blog with ads, etc), these two basic metrics mean very little. Segmentation, conversion funnels, device/os info, etc are necessities.

> If hierarchy, market concentration, and single points of failure don't already exist, they will be reinvented.

From another point of view, if at least one point of responsibility does not exist, it will have to be reinvented. There have been plenty of times when I can't download something because, while I can find the torrent on a tracker, nobody is actually seeding it anymore. Sometimes nobody has been seeding some obscure file for years.

Nobody in the distributed protocol is responsible for keeping up old torrents, so nobody actually does. Then it becomes easier to go as Netflix or iTunes for an unpopular old movie than to torrent it.

I'm pretty sure this happened with Iron Sky when I wanted to watch it.

> A plausible requirement for artificial general intelligence
is that many users will be required to train the same giant
neural network on a multitude of tasks. This is the most efficient way for the network to gain experience, because such a network can reuse existing knowledge instead of learning from scratch for each task.

Is this the hypothesis or already well-known? I'm not so sure if one giant DDN is better than a multitude of localized and specialized DDNs.
Ciao anfractuosity, Modbus have more "dedicated" and shorter (255 bytes) data frame and in my opinion is a little more narrow in its applications, its overhead if I am not mistaken is also high (11 bytes). PJON works with no additional hardware at the voltage level you prefer, totally software emulated, is a network protocol stack of 2 layers (data-link and protocol layer) can send packets of 255 or 655353 bytes, can support up to 255 devices connected on the same wire, or up to 1.090.921.692.930 devices in a bus network of up to 4.294.967.295 buses, it supports CRC8 or CRC32 at users choice and have an overhead added to information varying from 3 up to 19 bytes (thanks to a header configuration driven packet format). PJON also supports 2 different types of acknowledgment (sync and async).

Being the data link level handled "agnostically" PJON protocol layer is able to run over Serial, RS485, TCP and UDP (with the necessary hardware additions).

I agree - but the dissertation was just a "demo" or "showcase" of the typesetting system (I actually found it quite neatly, but I did not see anything that I could not have done without much trouble in TeX; would have loved to see the sources, though).

I really think the choice of using OCaml is not a very smart one (w.r.t. a roadmap / scale). Just looking at, e.g., Facebook's Flow reminds me that it can be a blocker in the long run (performance + not cross platform friendly).
