This article confused me a little, I think it's neither here nor there regarding a main point.

I mean, I get the basic facts, but I find it oddly jumping around between the men's situation, interjecting manual labor in fields that are dominated by women and then going off in the direction of single parents. Not that I would expect any kind of mentioning possible solutions, but this piece left me scratching my head a little .

There was a lot of shaming of men who were not soldiers. One particularly interesting example of it is The White Feather[1] campaign against men in England during WWI. It was orchestrated by women, including prominent feminists no less.

I don't know what single mothers have to do with any of the discussion here. At best, they're a small subset of the total number of women that would exhibit the described behaviour.

Finally, it's pretty sexist to imply that it's justified for the woman to make a rational decision for her children, rather than both parents deserving equal weight in deciding the well-being of their children.

IIRC, graphics used 2x2 block characters. With 24 lines of 32 characters, that would give you 64x48.

However, video memory ate into your 1k RAM. At 24 lines of 32 characters, a conventional video memory would need 75% of that 1k bytes, so they did things differently; video memory was laid out as you would do in a text editor, with each line ending in a line separator character.

That way, an empty screen took just 24 bytes, a full one (32x24) + 24 = 792 bytes, leaving 232 bytes for a program.

=> few programs for the 1k version could use the full screen.
In some towns, Red Lobster is a very popular resturant. Its pretty terrible, but is seen as a splurge for the lower class. With the splurge status, tips are often decent compared to other family friendly establishments. Homes are pretty cheap outside the city there. Used bmw's are dirt cheap here, for any doubt see LeMons racing, which is packed with em, at a $500 budget (sans safety gear).
I'm strongly inclined to agree with the accounting-problem element of this, though correcting how economics views costs, value, and price (three distinct elements) would help tremendously as well.

The drawing down of natural capital is simply not accounted for, despite the fact that early models of value (Smith, Boehm-Bawerk, Marshall) were consistent, if not outright encouraging of this.

If oil companies (or the holders of lands from which it was withdrawn) had to account for the 100 million years plus of formation time in their accounting, the economics (or rather, finances) would change markedly.
The answer is obvious: They want to tap into the largest growth market in the world.

And in many ways it is a plus that is not heavily regulated and dominated by a few american tech giants.
How Impressive Is Your Public Resume on the Internet?
I agree that sometimes the best solution is to use existing library, but I can't agree that traversing graphs is "too complex to implement from scratch in a timely fashion".

This very statement reminds me of famous "why can't programmers program" article: https://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/

Programming needs some technical skill anyway. And learning "how to use library X" often takes more time than learning "how to implement algorithm X". Libraries are often bloated, bugged, hard to debug or have terrible API. In these moments basic programming skill set is very useful.
Politifact / Factcheck are useful. But they're not the end of the story.

Getting the answer to the question right isn't particularly useful if the question itself is wrong.
If you use Keras, you might have noticed the dropout_W and dropout_U arguments on RNN layers. These calculate dropout using Gal's recommendation, "variational dropout".

With other ways of applying dropout, LSTMs typically fail to converge --- and with no dropout, they often over-fit. Gal's variational dropout therefore brings a significant improvement to many leading models.

There are several other nice contributions in the thesis as well, including a recommendation for applying dropout to word embedding matrices that I don't think has been well explored yet.

Never heard it used that maliciously. "Picking on" always ranged from playful flirting to mild intimidation, or 'button-pushing'. Any actual violence, or grave threat of such, is never called by that term. That would be considered making light of the situation without doubt imho. Just some perspective, I have lived all over north america.
I was surprised by this too. Childcare especially is very expensive where I live. It would hardly be worth going to work here.

I read the book decades ago, so ... But no, I don't recall that he argued that Dyirbal speakers thought of women as dangerous. It was just a sensational title. And that's why I cited the paper.

Then your choice is whether you want to hire people who only know C++. For some jobs, you don't. But if you do, you need to have multiple tests and choose one based on the candidate's skills.

Quit a job, moved to another country. Can't come up with any ideas. Need help
Here's the story. I'm 25, I live in Europe. I've been writing code since I was 14, and I still love doing it. I've created plenty projects for fun when I was a teenager and when I was in Uni studying Computer Science. After I finished the university (finished it as one of the top in my class) I immediately started working as a Software Developer. I had managed to work for 2 years until I said I'm tired of it, I need a break, and I want to do something of my own.

So, I quit and moved to another country (some small beautiful village near the sea). I thought that way I'd come up with something. However, I've been here for 3 months and I still haven't thought of any ideas to work on. I go outside each day for very long walks, go to a bar for a few drinks, and try to come up with something. But I can't. I'm not sure what I'm asking here, cause I know you can't just push ideas, they come from nowhere usually. Has anybody been in similar position? What did you do? I'm sorry for this post cause it sounds really stupid, but I really feel that I need help from some smart people, and I don't know the better place to do it. Again, sorry, and thank you very much.

Looks like a traditional kernel, which I think is a shame. High-level language-based operating systems have a lot more flexibility to enforce fine-grained abstractions rather than a traditional OS's coarse-grained abstractions.

For instance, memory safety is process-level in a traditional OS, but object-level in a programming language. So paging logic doesn't make as much sense here, since it would require a lot of expensive runtime support to make every object lazily loaded, not to mention the expense of the bookkeeping overhead to track which objects should be paged out.

This encourages a more event-oriented architecture where programs provide the kernel with continuation when requesting services. For instance, something like C#'s async/await operating at the kernel process level would be one possible approach.
As as example of contempt for rules, I regularly cycle, and I am routinely overtaken illegally by motorists. In the UK, it is illegal to cross a solid center line in your lane to overtake a bicycle traveling faster than 10mph [1]. 10mph is very slow for a cyclist. The only time I'm traveling that slow is up the steepest hills, which generally don't have center lines. I estimate about 1 in 100 motorists actually obey the law. The only time I make any non-trivial journey without seeing illegal motorist behavior is when I'm riding exclusively in rural areas with no center lines.

Of course, not all of those illegal overtakes are actually dangerous, but motorists often insist on a zero tolerance attitude to cyclist law enforcement, so I think they should be held to the same standard.

The media or even social media always reports exceptional stories which can be both positive and negative. If you measure your life, which most of us subconsciously do against these stories ( positive or negative ) you won't ever feel great.

I would suggest reading the book "The Subtle Art Of Not Giving a F*ck". A short easy read which gives actionable advice about dealing with negativity and procrastination which often are very correlated.

>Plenty of other fish in the sea who have no problem completing a simple assignment.

And yet companies have an incredibly hard time hiring talent, even with so many other fish out there. Odd, that.

People need to start understanding their value as an employee. You create more value than you're worth; that's why companies need workers. You don't need to bend over for a potential employer. Plenty of other fish in the sea of employers, too.
It feels to me like the root problem here isn't how many people are doing the homework problem or whatever. It's that this is increasing your time spent as a candidate relative to the in-person interview.

I think your last paragraph is very close, but I think the thing that matters is "no wishy-washy rejections". Not being the only person taking the test or how much time the company spends seem like ways to make that happen to me.

Maybe I'm just completely wrong here, but I think most of the objections to homework type tests are being caused by processes where the homework test was in addition to the in-person whiteboard interview, not instead of it.

How would you feel about a process that was: some preliminary screening -> nominal 4 hour homework thing -> in person meeting to confirm that you're not a complete asshole and negotiate salary?
My advice to job seekers who are asked to complete a "homework assignment" by a potential employer:

Ask to see the company's employment agreements or contracts in writing first.

I was once given a 10 hour assignment, which indeed took that long to complete. Afterwards, the company expressed interest in bringing me on, and sent me a work agreement to sign, which included many unsavory terms such as being paid for completed work 90 days out.

Since their terms were shit, I didn't take the job, and lost 10+ hours of my life.

The article was about women getting married less, even when they had children. So it has everything to do with the discussion.

Also, sure, both parents can make decisions for the well-being of the child, but if you're implying that the woman should marry the man if she doesn't want to because he wants to marry her, then you're the one being sexist.

The parent to my original reply is invoking evolution to explain why a woman would or wouldn't want someone as a partner. Those arguments always end up being sexist, attributing women's desires not to rational decision making but to whatever desires the man imagines evolution has instilled into the woman.

In fairness, you're somewhat missing the point.

First, the article states that there's sand which can be safely taken from rivers, if it's taken from the right places.

Secondly, costs and prices matter (and are profoundly determinative in economics, especially absent effective regulatory mechanisms). The competition is already between opportunistic harvesting of sand from places in which it can result in tremendous harm, vs. managed and sustainable (even useful) dredging from elsewhere.

Thirdly, crushing rock itself takes energy (or transport to a location in which that energy is provided -- perhaps a river, or solar panels), plus capital equipment, which likely has a limited life (rock is tough stuff...). So: higher costs and complexity, and a much higher bar for entry, vs. locating a truck and a likely spot of riverbank from which to harvest sand.

Interesting refs for the used crushers, but I don't see cost or energy data.
There's a big gap between not-being-a-breadwinner and being a bum. My sister's ex stopped working and stopped looking for work. That in itself wouldn't have been bad -- they were financially ok. But, she would still come home from her long day of work and do the dishes and laundry and cook supper (for her a chore, not a hobby). I have other friends with unemployed husbands where the dad does 90% of the childcare and most of the housework, and that seems to work out pretty well. People like a team effort, regardless of who is doing what.
If I knew my wife was considering divorcing me because because I lost my job, she wouldn't have to consider it any longer because I'd get the ball rolling.

I suspect that there are deeper compatibility issues at play and major events like infidelity or job loss just act as catalysts for divorce.
Hmm. The author says:

"I found the process to be dehumanizing, stressful, chaotic, inaccurate, opaque..."

Then goes on to talk about pigeon holing, other issues, and some suggestions.

You could criticize his conclusions or suggestions, but I don't see how you would summarize it as "not good for some reason which I won't go into here".
Trump’s war on press is no match for Obama’s
I would like to see reliable, precise modifications before human germline modifications happen. As I understand it, current techniques involve infecting cells, integrating whole foreign genes (or even genomes) into them, and hoping that a beneficial modification comes along for the ride. If every family starts editing their children's genome like this, we'll end up with a whole lot of random crap in our germlines.

CRISPR is better but not there yet, I believe. Let's get all the way to being able to do the equivalent of sed to our germline cells before we start editing.

One interesting note he makes is that (according to metrics they developed) the hallucinogens really do help you achieve higher level of consciousness. All those self-reports of reaching "awakening" and "enlightenment" could actually be supported by neuroscience. Unfortunately it's too hard to get proper funding for any research on subject.

Did not read the article, but that was my feeling when I first touched math and (almost at the same time) wrote my first code.

That's an excellent story hiding under a too-cute headline, covering a whole slew of factors.

I see: short-termism, unintended consequences. A cost, price, value failure: the riverfront property owners charging Rs. 150 per truckload for transit to the river sand, and having to pay Rs. 2000 for water after the sand-mining depleted the acquifer.

There's the backward-S supply curve of those desperate for any income.

There's the attraction to liquid cash.

There are the problems of ineffective and toothless regulation and enforcement. Of corrupt businessmen (dying in duels and gunfights), and of an uncaring attitude.

Quite a few lessons to draw.

That depends. The goal of local drivers is to go from A to B in reasonable time. If extreme risk deduction interferes that, people will revolt.

Some of the rules in some countries regarding overtaking cyclists would create a complete mess in the Netherlands. Of course, in theory you could have one set of rules self driving cars and another for human drivers.

I'm very curious if you can have a significant percentage of self driving cars in a city center without causing complete gridlock. My guess is that once cyclists and pedestrian realize how careful self driving cars are, they will just take priority and bring all car traffic to a halt.
