Seriously. For anything more than a single developer maven is the best build system I've ever used by a long way, because its customizability is so limited: every project uses the same source directory layout, every project uses the same release tag format, every project uses the same unit test layout, and so you can immediately jump into any project and be productive. When you want to run random code in your build process it has to be encapsulated as a plugin, which means a) any random logic in the build process is at least ordinary first-class code that goes through your normal code review process, has a versioning and release cycle, can be unit tested etc. b) the slight extra overhead means there's more likely to be one standard plugin for doing a thing, which again means there'll be a standardised source directory etc., rather than everyone integrating thrift or swagger or what-have-you into their build in an ad-hoc and slightly different way. c) often people decide that actually they can live without having function names be capitalised if the build was made on a Wednesday or whatever nonsense they wanted to do to the build, and put their business logic in code where it belongs instead.

Beyond that there's a working central repository where all the important libraries are (and it's one of the few ecosystems that actually enforces code signing of all published libraries), and also a free repository server that you can run on-premises (and that's a normal JVM app that runs like anything else in the ecosystem) and use for private publishing and/or to proxy remote repositories to make sure you will always be able to rebuild any previously successful build even if a remote repository goes down. The release plugin enforces good practices by default, e.g. you tag a release and rebuild from that release, ensuring you can always recreate any given release; you may build a -SNAPSHOT which depends on another -SNAPSHOT, which makes it lightweight to make a change to an upstream library and check that it has the right effect on your downstream application (and the first-class IDE integration dovetails very nicely with this), but releases are only allowed to depend on releases, which ensures they're reproducible and immutable. None of this should be hard, and I think other ecosystems are gradually getting it right, but Maven just seems to have managed to make all the right choices and avoid all the pitfalls. You don't hear as much about it as you do about, say, NPM, but I think that's at least partly because it rarely goes wrong, so a lot of the time it's invisible to developers.
A deliberately sceptical person goes and reads the climate literature, and forms their own opinion based on all the information available.

Luckily we had a stellar remote team, and most of our growth was coming from our international markets. Anyone would be lucky to have one of them if they are still available.
Quality varies a lot, mostly from country to country (at least in western Europe, perhaps on other continents it's more regional). Whatever the quality though, it's a better start than nothing. Why would user data contributed to your application be any better than the user data contributed through OSM? It's a lot easier to edit an invalid property than have a completely blank map and start from scratch.

Also, if projects like these would use OSM (some do, but not all), the quality gets better and it improves for everyone instead of for your specific project.
Okay, so the challenge gets broken down into creating a single piece that hides the malware. Even better really, I can join the network with a fleet of hosts all sharing that particular piece at a very high rate- but it's my bad version of it. Those hosts can focus on just distributing the malware, rather than the whole file.

Whoosh! It was a joke.
I published in nature. The results were based on a computation that was so large, no other entity in the world could have reproduced it at the time (I work for Google, we built a system that used 600+Kcores continuously for years). I don't think ,at the time, that anybody other than Amazon or Microsoft could have run the same calculation as us.

Should our publication have been prevented simply because nobody else had the resources to replicate?

Strange theories here. I'm not sure why the expectation of SI units applying to a discrete quantity like bits/bytes holds.
I grew up in sprawling LA and didn't have a car. My mobility was supremely restricted, as I lived in a non-walkable cliff area far from public transportation. Cabs and car services were insanely expensive. Now I know people in LA who have sold their cars and travel exclusively via Uber.

Maybe but Amazon really is the only Amazon, while Tesla has at scale competitors. The Model 3 certainly looks good, but so does the Bolt, Leaf, i3, fiat 500e, kia soul ev, ford focus electric, etc.

The big difference is I can buy those cars today, and for almost all of that last the past couple years, while the Model 3 is still waiting release. I don't think most Tesla fans realize how behind Tesla is in delivering the sub $40,000 EV. We've had them in the market for quite some time. If anything, Tesla is the last major player in this space.

Amazon was the opposite of this. It had all the products and stores while its competitors had less, not more, available product. I have no idea if shorting them is wise right now, but the idea that they're in the same position as Amazon is a bit generous.
I'm not talking about Mono. And you're talking about premature optimization. We're barely out the gate with 1.0 and you're optimization how a file is touched. An optimization that would benefit very few people in the real world. If you're worrying about perf when you're streaming a file out of Ruby or Python to a browser then you need to rethink what you're trying to solve.

It doesn't change the fact that right now, you can write a asp.net core web application on windows and run it on linux. For free.
Even if you do know all that, it means reproducing the experiment is costly. Controlling properly an environment take times and resources, and it's not like it's easy to get those for anything, let alone for something like peer reviewing.

The article mentions how one patient googled his condition and sought a second opinion. I imagine that this direction is common among patients.

I am afraid that once I get old I will also be pushed to have unnecessary treatments.

Hi guys,
I have made a collection of useful resources to master SRE knowledge (https://github.com/vorozhko/site-reliability-engineer-guide). It might be a little bit google biased, but I would like to hear what do your think? Do I miss some essential pieces?

I love this kind of stuff. Super precise side project that fills a need and is fun to build.

Slightly related and clearly shameless plug: you could build this from scratch in about 2 minutes using my our new (or about 30 seconds if you fork an existing one). If you're interested email automation@jofarnold.com for a developer account. I'd very much like to hear your feedback.

Obviously not as targeted as OP but still cool :)
Hydration levels can cause it to fluctuate dramatically. Most are also calibrated for an "average" level of fitness, and state that if you are an athlete, the numbers may be inaccurate.

So if he went from typical fitness to "athlete" fitness, or typical hydration to shortly-after-long-hike hydration, the error range for the second may be much wider than the first.

That said, he undoubtedly lost fat. The BF% measurement change is likely not an accurate measurement of how much he lost.
I hiked 400 miles of the AT and while you're technically right, I found that cooked food made me feel better, having a shelter (I hammocked) made my sleep more restful, and I couldn't trust myself not to accidentally wipe my ass with some poison plant, so I was glad I had TP.
I'm genuinely curious how many outlets would be enthusiastic about this without the ability to slide conversation towards their narrative.

Why RStudio Server Pro Over Jupyter?
This might be a dumb question, but my company has a very small data science team and are currently trying to set up their first data science server.

The current plan is to set a server up with RStudio Server Pro. I'm trying to figure out why - as far as I know, you can easily install Jupyter and the R kernel on a server and use that for free rather than pay the $10k/year for RStudio. Is there some massive advantage of RStudio Server Pro that I don't know about?
Even if you use exactly the same headers it means that at the moment the SHA1 algorithm encounters the specially crafted data that creates the collision it's in a different state than with the "naked" files, so the collision (very probably) won't happen. Adding more content at the end of the file would work though, since at this point the SHA1 state machine would be in the same state on both sides.

You can test that easily with the files provided:

I think the patent-sharing thing is an interesting point, because I agree that it suggests a certain amount of altruism, but at the same time I think it's still the right business choice for Tesla.

Instead of looking at the situation through the lens of "Tesla vs other car companies", let's take a step back and look at the battle of "electric vs gasoline". The better EVs do, the more charging infrastructure gets built, and the more receptive people are to buying EVs in general. These kinds of effects disproportionately help Tesla; their whole business is electric cars, whereas EVs are only a tiny slice of the pie for every other established car company.

Because there is so much room for growth in the EV market, we're also not necessarily dealing with a zero-sum game right now. Helping other companies sell more electric cars does not necessarily mean Tesla will suffer reduced demand; it may actually have the opposite effect. Even simple lack of awareness is still a big obstacle for EVs: https://electrek.co/2017/01/03/electric-vehicle-adoption-awa...
It could be something their leadership is repeating. I could see something like, "You can work anywhere but you're here because Uber needs you, especially now" being said in meetings and emails.
The difference here is the "intelligence" of an AI can be described as a loss function, so if an AI can build and then train another AI which can achieve a better overall score from many examples in its loss function, then that AI, with perhaps a deep neural network will start to "understand" or the components that make a successful neural network. Thus it could use intelligence rather than random mutations to evolve.
In practice I do not see it being any more "multi-paradigm" than e.g. Haskell is. It just conflates the imperative and declarative subsets, meaning that a lambda is not really a lambda etc

>> Isn't that what the new administration promises? Deregulation and ending net neutrality.

As far as I know, this is the case.

It would be similar to what happened in telecom when a lot of the regional Bell operators were deregulated in the early aughts. A ton of CLECS were created (competitive local exchange carriers) who then had the opportunity to lease copper from Qwest at cost, and then become re-sellers to their clients. What happened was predictable and would happen again if you did the same with Comcast and other cable/internet operators.

You'd get a gold rush of companies looking to lease their networks, low-ball their clients and appear to be a much lower cost alternative. Customers will flock to them, and within 5-8 years, many will go under (poor management, losing margins on cost, etc) many will merge together and a few will ultimately survive if they're fiscally responsible enough.

In the early 2000's there were something like two dozen CLECS here in Minnesota. Today, there's around 5.
It is great to see the discussion going on regarding working remotely from Nepal. I think Nepal has a great potential of attracting nomad techie from around the world if there is sufficient infrastructure such as electricity, good roads and enough legal provision. It is good that the country is heading to that direction.

regarding the rubbish, there are rubbish in any big city in the world. I now live and work in Toronto, and some part of Toronto is worst than Kathmandu. While Kathmandu has many areas which are much cleaner and better than some parts of Toronto.

I also bootstrapped my company https://www.techinasia.com/merocampus-online-marketplace-col... living in Nepal at my parents home.

Well... that's the first time I've ever been thanked. So, you're welcome. I think DeviantART worked pretty well because of the team that was charged with looking after it. We screened community leaders pretty heavily for being genuinely kind and good humans who, in very many cases, cared more about the community than the art. I think everyone who worked on community building really appreciated and loved art and (selfishly) realized that the way we could see the best art was to attract the best artist, and the best artists would only come to a safe place they could learn and grow without fear. Scott Jarkoff, Angelo Sotira and Eric Kolb are seriously some of the most gentle and loving people I've come across online. Happy to talk more - je@h4x.club

> Younger doctors that are just out of a residency are more up to date about medical science and have the facts in a fresh memory.

Perhaps, but they often have not yet built up the muscle memory needed to manipulate instruments as skillfully as more experienced doctors, nor the knowledge needed to know how to handle unusual situations, both of which are particularly important for surgeons[0,1].

That's true that categories are not going to find any special love there and that's sad. Much of the foundational tradition has been made in Set Theoretic language and its value cannot be ignored (think say on Gödel on CH), but it's sad that there is such community divide forbidding any osmosis. Categorical thinking leads to natural costless abstractions with practical unifying power and transversal applicability, and while that's not a FOM, it's an indicative that there may be something there. Also by comparison, as user fmap said, there is much coding in Set Theory. Just look at an ordered pair. In set theory it is the Kuratowski pair, and that a violent encoding. It a hack. We're not nearer to answer what they really are by that. Categorically they are a limit, which perhaps it's also not metaphysical chant, but we can feel it however less hacky.

I think it is an important factor that many murders are quite straightforward, so it isn't just the overall rate, it's the rate where the Alexa evidence is important enough to pursue.

I also wonder how many people own more than 1 echo (probably only hundreds of thousands so not all that important to estimating the number of homes being listened to. I guess Amazon could tell us how many users they have though).
Well, that depends on the code (or perhaps whose code) it steals. :)

Asteroid mining on any sort of commercial scale is far future, not near future. Even with fully reusable rockets, asteroid mining wouldn't be profitable; anything we need can be obtained cheaper on Earth.

Small asteroids are too irregularly shaped to be useful as precision-guided projectiles. As soon as they hit the atmosphere they're going to veer off course.

Kinetic bombardment satellites — whether fully artificial or asteroids guidance and propulsion strapped on — would be in known orbits with limited maneuvering capability and thus highly vulnerable to antisatellite weapons. It takes very little energy to kill a satellite; you don't have to vaporize it, just break any critical part in the communication, propulsion, or guidance systems. Satellites are generally easier targets to hit than ballistic missiles.

Traditional car companies have benefitted from trillions in subsidies by being allowed to poison the population without paying for the costs.

I'd much rather have a car company take some of my money in taxes than take my health by polluting.

Historically, the percentage of men changed drastically in the teaching profession. Did A) men as a class suddenly and for no discernible reason became less qualified than women, or B), some other force discriminated against men, or C), men have a innate biological reason to dislike or like teaching?

And we can find drastically changes in gender distribution (and gender segregation) in multiple professions. Is those three choices, A, B, or C, the only possible reason for those? Data from Sweden say over 85% of women and 85% of men work in professions which has serious problem of gender segregation, a problem which only got worse in the last 100 years. Which of those tree choices explains why 1917 had less gender segregation in the work place than 2017?
Information is always incentivized one way or another, and people will keep things that contradict their narrative and incentives out of studies. That's a key flaw in peer-review research that I think needs to be addressed.
Well, you could put most of the payload in other parts of the file. People probably wouldn't notice if they didn't go looking. And the small part could exploit a popular codec instead of being an executable itself.

Counter-anecdote: I live in Canada, and it is not at all uncommon to ask friends who are visiting the U.S. to pick up items on their behalf (either alcohol and tobacco, which are often significantly cheaper at the border's duty-free stores, or e-commerce purchases that would not ship into Canada--there are several places close to the border that will receive and hang onto such packages for a fee).

Maybe that doesn't count as "shipping an item with a friend" but it's quite similar.
