Not sure if you're arguing for or against my point, but I'd say the purpose of feeling happy is to reinforce the behavior that got you where you are. Smiling (and the compulsion to smile, which few other animals have, though they do feel pleasure) is to signal your state of mind to your peers.

I wouldn't say (and wasn't saying) that the purpose of feeling sad is to cry or engender social signaling (parallel to happiness, the purpose of sadness is downregulation of behavior), but the compulsion to cry itself and the relief afterwards is about signaling.
Why so many of this frameworks insist in using an account with administrator privileges?

From the docs: "search for a Policy named 'AdministratorAccess', click next and confirm".

It would be much more convenient to request only the needed privileges while teaching the user what is the tool doing in the background.
Back then there was Freshmeat, now there is Github (et al). In that respect I think things actually improved, especially given the ease with which git allows others to fork repositories, safeguarding against site disappearance. Given the distributed nature of git even the eventual disappearance - or total sellout - of Github (et al) will not diminish this as those who want can host their own repositories in a few minutes using the likes of Gogs/Gitea or Gitlab.

Slashdot was fun while it lasted, there have been several attempts at a restart of similar communities (Soylent News etc.) but as far as I know none have managed to create the same 'feel of community'. Maybe that is because there is no real community?

Anyway, with more and more people getting access to true broadband the possibilities of decentralised hosting only increase so I still have some hopes for the future when it comes to building something interesting outside of the walled-and-fenced big-data farms so popular nowadays.

It is also not too hard to essentially forget a complex password by either 'blanking it out', or associating it with multiple similar paswords during recall.

Oh, I deserve punishment for this, but Startups are so 2017...

Really, seriously, though the startup drum has been beat very hard indeed - not merely by the magnifier anything which reaches mainstream press from anywhere thought to be technology. But I forget when I last read about a startup that either was developing technology, or was a startup in the sense I originally understood. I think I lost the appreciation I did have, when to pivot became a seemingly overnight, instantaneous, blanket verb to admit no wrong and plow on burning cash regardless of a total failure to relate real world to prospectus.

What I have enjoyed seeing from afar, is much more valuable, however, than the spectacular sums sunk in startup mirage wells: the idea that it is a good thing to swing for the fence, in particular when young and resilient to life's knocks (albeit tempered massively by the new new new medieval economy of absent social and financial safety) and the widespread promulgation of baseline knowledge how to handle just starting a company, and demystifying the corporate world, I believe will pay dividends in eventually spurring - allow me a sincere hope - a renaissance of small business. Because there sure is not much, sometimes I look, thriving in the penumbra of ZIRP funded corporate giganticism. I was just reading Berkshire Hathaway's 1990 report, yesterday. BRK was still counting in millions and tens of millions, and hundred of millions in equity... This epochal inflation has happened while so many grew up, it may be that economic historians, at least of the contrarian kind, ponder whether the startup boom was not a fear induced, hysterical, reaction to the absolute necessity to hit ball after ball out the park, in the early 21st century, to dare dream of a home and family.

edit, somehow auto correct dumped "romanticism" in the least fitting place...
I'm not sure, it came pre-installed with the car. It warns me when I'm drifting between lanes without signaling first, it tells me if I'm speeding (no warning sound though), it indicates if I'm within a safe distance of the car ahead of me, and it triggers a very loud alarm if it thinks I'm about to hit someone or not keeping my distance.

It actually probably saved me from a minor accident on my first drive in my brand new car, getting it out of the dealership: It was raining heavily and visibility was crap, and I was a bit distracted finding all the controls and looking for the back window wipers (turns out there aren't any!). And I didn't notice the cars ahead of me stopped. The alarm went off and I hit the brakes (it was very low speed), and everything was fine.

Civil contempt is coercive, not punitive. In theory, he gets released when it's clear that he won't decrypt the drive even if indefinitely incarcerated. So in principle, in the event you describe, we let him out.

Of course, knowing that he actually has forgotten the password is somewhat tricky, so what would actually happen is anyone's guess.

I see this a lot, but I disagree, at least in their current form. They miss a variety of very key parts for reproducibility (which, to be fair, was not their original goal).

* Dependencies like libraries are not specified anywhere.

* Dependencies on local code are not bundled.

* Dependencies on local data are not bundled.

* Underlying requirements like LLVM (which needs to be specifically 3.9.X for llvmlite in python as I discovered recently).

* Perhaps most dangerously, you can run the code sections out of order, and deleted sections will leave their variables around which can interfere with the run. I've been caught out by this in my own notebooks.

I really like jupyter notebooks, but I think some of the design decisions (correct for some ways of working) actively work against reproducible reports.

Yeah, I found that I was doing this myself. I think it's because I was always posing myself the what-ifs of "well, you could just be accidentally sending something that would trigger it...", but the law can deal with intent where most software and programing problems simply can't. Where it is clear the intent was to cause harm, we should absolutely treat these things with as much seriousness as any other attempt to harm another person.

>Did you read and understand the second & third paragraph at all?

Yes, and I find it wrong.

I'm not sure what "preparations" and "clean-up" afterwards you imagine, sounds like excuses not to do any or overthinking it.

It can be just doing some sets of repetitions of body only exercises, without any equipment to put out (a towel on the floor will do). Or a jogging run -- no preparations, just putting on your running shoes and a shower afterwards. Or dancing around in your room. And countless other ways (e.g. getting some gym equipment, a stationary bike, etc).

One showers at the end or start of the day (or should) anyway, and that doesn't have to take more than 5 minutes. And 30 minutes, or even 15-20 minutes, of exercise per day is more than enough to see health benefits.

In fact: "For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines: Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity".

The insight that "code is data" and should be viewed as such is very well treated by lots of literature/languages. Tons of languages support "eval" and building an AST is really not that difficult. I think SICP might be a popular entrypoint to interpreters but probably not the best.

This article is completely vacuous. Similarly positive things could be written about any other three concepts, i. e. Act / Share / Pivot, to pick three that clash with the articles'.
Almost all 'traditional' animation you see is put together almost entirely using computers. Even pre-computers people would paint a background once and then paint each part that moved on transparent plastic or glass and layer it all on top of each other (sometimes each body part of each charter would be on its own layer so that you could keep the body still while just moving one arm for example).

There is however a movement that rejects all that for entirely artistic reasons, and insist on painting each frame from scratch by hand. Doing so gives the animation a really unique (and in my opinion cool) look that is hard to mimic using computers. However it is extremely labor intensive and is basically only used for short animations done entirely as labors of love.
I for one am not so convinced GitHub is likely to be around for another decade or two. But whatever, let's just pretend that Distill can always find a free hosting solution, that is not so unlikely. Maybe that's good enough?

Re. IF, sorry if my first post wasn't as as obvious as I thought it would be. I wasn't referring to how IF is calculated, much less to Distill's current IF. Rather, there are two big problems related to IF that Distill needs to "solve"; Not the how, but rather then when and who of IF:

Ad when: The egg and the hen problem. As colah3 wrote, Distill's IF will only become meaningful in two years. But if you have exciting research, you want that to be in an high-impact journal/venue now. So attracting good research as a new journal/venue is extremely difficult, and probably the one main reason why new journals fail (c.f. the number of new journals/venues and the mostly non-existent change in impact rankings of the "best" places to publish). However, if you can get private researchers in industry to publish in Distill, because they are not [so] "dependent" on IF, you might accumulate sufficient impact in the first two years to get to a nice score, that later makes Distill competitive to the various IEEE journals or JMLR.

Ad who: The even worse problem that (at least European, not sure about US) universities evaluate their researchers by looking up their Web of Science ranking/score. WoS in turn is controlled by Thomson Reuters (TR), who also decide which journals get ranked in WoS (and sell access to WoS to universities and governments - n/c...). If a journal is not "recognized" by WoS, the publication or its citations do not get counted by TR. Ergo, as a public researcher, your funding dries up and/or you don't get the promotions you need. For that reason alone, no researcher in public research will allow her/his students and postdocs to publish in a journal that is not indexed by TR/WoS. But again, you might get around that by behaving "like" arXiv at first, at least: Most journals now grudgingly accept that the work was first on arXiv before it got published in some high-impact journal or venue. And maybe there is even a chance that the publishing industry will have to accept Distill in their midst (i.e., index it in WoS) if some other industrial backers create enough pressure...

As might be clear from the above, I (and many researchers) am (are) fed up with the current publishing system, so I certainly hope a "self-hosted", free solution controlled by the public [researchers] one day will break the iron first the current (private) publishing houses exert over how research is managed and evaluated today. If Distill manages to keep itself independent from industry, but at the same time can use the political weight its current backing could bring, maybe this is a way to break this vicious cycle?
I have to say, I am so stealing that line.

For C++ I find both Google Test and Boost Unit Test Framework pretty usable. They both have some quirks but IMHO no show-stoppers. I prefer these to custom solutions because don't want to maintain yet another tool but to focus on my problem domain and it is nice when some fellow developers actually have experience with these tools.
The weakness to this approach is that learning the functional approach is all well and good but you can't learn this at the expense of learning what the machine does. Learning a traditional ALGOL like C exposes you to memory access, the stack pointer, and other such concepts. You're also a small hop away from assembly where you learn about RISC/CISC architectures, CPU caches, etc. I wish there was a book as popular as SICP that people would read so that the understanding of what the hardware is doing is better across the industry.
