2009 I sucked it up too.

"Hey Java is pretty much shit and here is this new better language called Scala, which you can use with your Java ecosystem!"

And I was hyped!

But, well then I saw the actual Java ecosystem...

Java itself is a pretty clunky language, especially for people like me, who did scripting language programming all the time and are probably not considered Real-Developers-TM to the Java folk. So the ideas of Scala resonated with me pretty much.

Anyway, after trying to configure stuff like Kafka, Zookeeper and Maven and setting up a SOAP API, I saw that the problem with Java isn't the language. Yes it's ugly, but JavaScript is ugly too, well even Python has its ugly parts. The problem also isn't performance, like so many C devs cry about daily. The problem seems to be that Java devs like to create things more complex than they need to be. Conglomerates of XML files, layers on layers on layers... I just don't know anymore.

I didn't use Scala for long and it wasn't because it failed me, it did, it brought its own complexity with implicit conversions and overloaded operators etc. but that wasn't the reason, it was the ecosystem which usage Scala enabled, the ecosystem that felt like it was still stuck in pre 2000. :\
No, I just love the math that she says she makes 18% less than less qualified colleagues. That means she asked someone what they make and decided that she's a better worker than that person and got all offended that they made more.

That's a lot of arrogance. I know you can see mistakes in someone else's work, but you tend to not see the mistakes in yours until you run into problems.

Because:

- there are very many plastics with different properties, and - AFAIK - not all of them can be replaced with plant matter

- replacing all plastics with plants will likely compete with agriculture for land use

- if you just went and banned plastics, we'd have to use things like glass, metals and woods instead; not sure how the manufacturing footprint compares between metals and plastics, but just consider that if every plastic item you have around you was made from steel instead, how much heavier everything would be, and how it would impact energy requirements to move those things around

Plastics are pretty awesome materials.
Me to.

How can we ask them get back the previous color.

Thank you.
For an increased risk of going down when everybody else is up. Is that still success? And at what other costs?

It all comes down to risk vs. cost vs. gain.
This just shows that two lawyers did not even read my article and just comment on it demeaningly.

Please do note that D.5 also covers “reproduce”, which _is_ “distribution of code”, _and_ that I address this point in my article.

So, in short: If you need to give lots of money away, get a lawyer, but even then you’re not getting what you’re paying for. They also only cook with water, they also are just erring human meatbags.

I wasn't implying that it's bad when private and public interests are aligned. What I'm saying is that this is not the same as altruism, and if private and public interests are at odds, the private ones will likely win as they have before at Google. This is just the nature of a capitalist company. Let's not have illusions about that.

Ballpark numbers here; by similar reasoning, since the industrial revolution humans have put out no more than 26,000 years worth of all volcanoes' emissions (say 200 years worth of 130x emissions). Therefore (obviously hypothetically) if we were to cease emitting any CO2 at all, today, the effects of all the CO2 ever produced by humans would become largely irrelevant in just tens of millennia, which is a mere instant in geological timescales!

I think in the scheme of things, no matter how bad things get the planet won't even notice us. However the question remains what life will be left to see it when it does finally return to normal.
Yea, so I don't know much about web development but I spend quite a lot of time in the Unreal Engine, and to see something like this in a web browser was really impressive!

Both of those scenerios are so ill defined that at this point it's lunacy to think they are solutions to anything. This leads me to conclude you think our level of understanding is about two or three magnitudes higher than it actually is. We don't understand brains or intelligence. Therefore thinking we could replicate them is silly since we don't even know what to replicate.

This is not to say the march of creating ever better learning systems will not eventually reach "sentient parity" with humans, what ever that is, but that we have no idea what that would actually mean or entail.

On neuroscience, we are like paleolithic hunters trying to create the best spear to reach the moon. Yes, the same intelligence that allows homo sapiens to craft - more or less - better sticks for millenias will eventually lead to spaceflight. But it's a long way off.
AWS has its own Serverless Application Model (SAM) https://github.com/awslabs/serverless-application-model released last Oct. Rather than learning another framework, you'd use the same CloudFormation yaml syntax to define your stack and apps. It simplifies calling Lambda functions by providing a higher level abstraction triggers called Events. This makes it simpler to create Lambda functions for Rest API, Cron schedule, IoT devices, create Alexa skills, response to S3 events etc. Then its just "aws cloudformation package" and "aws cloudformation deploy" to create and update your app. It appears AWS team is learning the best from Serverless Framework. If you not mind the vendor lockin, SAM is the way to go. Serverless Framework has the promise of using the same tool against AWS Lambda, Google/Azure Functions and IBM OpenWhisk.

“how these rules came to be and what they try to achieve”

That’s not my point here.

The intent behind the rules and what they’re trying to achieve is GOOD and A STEP UP from the previous ToS.

HOWEVER, they have language that IS problematic for almost ALL copyleft and/or attribution-requiring works that include contributions from people who did not upload it directly to GitHub themselves. THAT’s what I’m discussing.
When epistemic systems gain social and political significance
Almost. I have a five minute walk to the office from the train station. While uber might be door-to-door for now, the streets around my office will probably soon be closed for cars that doesn't deliver goods or workers doing construction or maintenance work, so then it wouldn't even be any different from the train.
XGBoost also appears to have a GPU implementation.
Why can't you work in a car? You're guaranteed to have a seat, for one, unlike public transport.
Have you noticed how the customers are moving their work to other countries? Your argument becomes one for moving the software development, including its management, with it.

This is somewhat beside the point, however. The people my hypothetical steel-industry manager is based on failed to imagine how the world was going to change and could not imagine that people in less-developed countries could be as competent as themselves.

Then there is AI. It has taken a long time, but it is coming.

True. But CC0 is deprecated by CC themselves and CC requested the OSI to not approve it. It is unclear whether there will be a successor.

But any of the BSD/MIT-ish licences should be close enough to a “gift” for this to work (well they do protect the author/licensor a bit more, but…).
Columns are tricky.

Once I tried to convert a paper in ACM style into HTML [0]. It seems to work today. A few years ago, Chrome broke columns in printing mode.

What I still cannot do is the copyright notice, which for ACM style must be at the bottom of the first column (see example [1]). This would require something like absolute positioning relative to a printed page.

The licence per se is not disallowed.

If you create a work from scratch and decide to put it under GPL and upload it to GitHub (thus granting extra rights), that’s just fine.

It’s only you cannot currently upload SOMEONE ELSE’s GPL’d work (including your own derivate thereof) to GitHub.
But the ACA mandate was supposed to be a mandate or a penalty, not a tax. The Supreme Court ruled that it looked like a tax and quacked like a tax, so it's legal as a tax.

Why can't the same principals be applied here? That the pitch and language of a rule aren't important, just the implementation.
Preservation in this case isn't about storage. It's about cracking. It's no use preserving the bits if you can't run them without a server which no longer exists, or an obsolete DRM tied to an obsolete disk format.

Criteria of Truth isn't a greenfields. There is extant literature and authorities to be consulted, and, perhaps, questioned:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criteria_of_truth

Any reputation or recommendation system is subject to gaming. The questions are: what fundamentally does it promote, what are its internal incentive structures, and is it fundamentally trustable.

You don't get away from any of those questions (or concerns) no matter what you replace it with. Aiming at truth itself strikes me as vastly preferable to the extant model.

Understanding that truth itself can be imprecise, and building considerations of this (say: through fuzzing or randomising SERP) into the system also helps.

What significant amounts of research, ranging from highly formal to informal, have show, is that the lack of accountability by reptuation has lead to numerous actors hijacking our epistemic systems. Lauren Weinstein, Pew, Snopes, ProPublica, and others, have reported on this at length.

Motion sickness. If I read in a car (whether paper or screen) then I feel like crap for the rest of the day, basically. It's not at all uncommon.

Plus the train has tables, 240V sockets, wifi (which selects the best from several different providers, so better coverage than my phone), all of that. There are seats available from our station on pretty much every train, and the journey time is more reliable than the car.
Sorry about that, I was more concerned with getting the explanation into more than 140 chars and out to both people and GitHub and getting in touch with GitHub than with writing a lengthy article.

This doesn't mean marketing, bragging or propaganda. It's about making an effort.

Take divesting your savings from banks that fund non-renewablecenergy projects, for example. Actually doing it is effort, it's something you can do, and it will have a positive impact on climate change, even if it's small, it's a start; However, here's the kicker, actually doing it is the key. You will see how others respond to this action, it's different to just making a suggestion. It's leadership.

Honestly, making changes on an individual level (sometimes this can mean some sacrifices)
is probably a much stronger catalyst for change in others than you might think.

"In contrast to deep neural networks which require great effort in hyper-parameter tuning, gcForest is much easier to train."

Hyperparameter tuning is not as much of an issue with deep neural networks anymore. Thanks to BatchNorm and more robust optimization algorithms, most of the time you can simply use Adam with a default learning rate of 0.001 and do pretty well. Dropout is not even necessary with many models that use BatchNorm nowadays, so generally tuning there is not an issue either. Many layers of 3x3 conv with stride 1 is still magical.

Basically: deep NNs can work pretty well with little to no tuning these days. The defaults just work.
Is global history still possible, or has it had its moment?
If you live in a congested city taking the train can be faster than Uber for some trips. I don't like paying $15-$20 for the privilege of sitting in traffic when the same trip would have cost me $2-$3 on public transit.

Came here to say this. They better be very careful going down this road. If they have a tool for this purpose, and somebody can claim it is debatable help, my guess is they can be in trouble.

I built an old-style chatbot (this Ask Eliza) and put in a slight recognition pattern if certain key phrases are entered that takes the user down a certain decision-tree of question/responses. It's loosely based on CBT only as a choice of reasonable conversation/interaction. I would never claim it was a suicide prevention tool or a depression therapy tool, even if it was pretty good at it.

Thank you for the suggestions. Implementation of fman's features is prioritised by the number of votes they receive on a public Trello board [1].

- Relative folders in GoTo in Steroids (Cmd+P): I've added a card on the Trello board for this [2].

- Autocomplete when moving a file: likewise [3]

- You're right about deselect. It should be there. I haven't had time to implement it. One user used the Python plugin API [4] to implement deselect [5].

- fman's ancestors in spirit are dual-pane file managers like Norton Commander or Total Commander, which for 20 years use Enter to open folders/files. Of course, you're free to override the default key bindings [6].

Not that I would not accept higher salary, but I don't think it's pennies. It's way above average salary in general, and probably average in software industry. Not many game companies earn billions (except some outliers like GTA, COD, Minecraft, ...), average game company is on the verge of bankrupcy all the time. It's well worth it compared to a higher paid programmer whose job does not bring him happiness.

If someone proposes a method as an alternative for a field, they need to test this method on the accepted benchmark dataset for that field. For object recognition in static images this dataset is the ImageNet competition. Computing power can be bought from AWS if no cluster is available. The lack of it can't be an argument.

Not saying that the paper has no reason to exist, I think it is generally well written and decision trees certainly deserve attention. If they can do representation learning on high level this is certainly something to look into. But it shouldn't claim to be an alternative to state-of-the-art deep learning if there is no data for this comparison. Everyone can solve MNIST (or even CIFAR).
There no reason to "panic" about perfectly reasonable, valid use cases. `head` and `tail` in Haskell are badly designed (to address one of your examples), which is why every SO question about them and every question on haskell-beginners ends with the same answer: don't use them, pattern match instead.
