I don't know of any good videos, off the top of my head, but at a high level, all operations that one performs (creating geometry, editing objects, etc) are compositions of functions (nodes). So, after a long editing session, you can pop up the node graph and see exactly what operations/functions were performed and in what order. This allows one to programmatically modify the chain of operations later, or to package up the session as a script that can be shared with other users. You can also easily write your own bits of functionality and inject them into the sequence of function calls. It is super powerful, makes workflows reproducible, and way more.

I could read the boarding as defined by "completed when crossing the door from the terminal into the jetway or aircraft", but I could also define as "the entire process of loading the aircraft, the completion of which is marked by the pilot accepting the manifest and flight and the boarding door being closed".

If you define it the second way, the doctor hadn't completed boarding. (And I don't think it's a totally ridiculous torturing of the words to read it that way.)

I'm very sorry for your loss. But as a cancer researcher, I can fairly confidently say that glyphosate had nothing to do with your father's death. There just isn't any evidence showing that it has direct mutagenic activity or even other indirect biological influences on the probability of developing cancer. I've also lost several fit, active nonsmoking friends and family to cancer. Our cells copy themselves imperfectly, and sometimes our inborn regulatory mechanisms go awry. There's not always a "cause", beyond the fact that our bodies aren't built to a perfect spec. There's a massive amount of work going on these days to develop entirely new classes of treatments, so I hope the clinical situation in a few decades will be brighter by far. Again, sorry for your loss.
Photographers? What are you even talking about?
That seems to be reinventing the wheel. Why not experiment with a magical system thousands of years old?

See, a spell is a formula. An analogy is like its a road to a destination. Would you rather whack your way through the underbrush, or ride down a path that others have already proven to work?

This is the difference between subjectivity and objectivity. If a spell or a divination practice works for you but not for someone else, its entirely subjective. If it works for anyone, it is objective, and therefore valuable knowledge to have.

Additionally, there is more energy expended in 'casting' a newly formulated spell than there is expended in 'casting' a proven spell that others have used before.

And, I disagree that a spell requires a deity.

I've been researching this.

1. Glyphosate (roundup) use is two orders of magnitude higher than originally approved.

2. Due to the emergence of glyphosate-resistant weeds, the dosage has been increased substantially.

3. It is now also usually combined with other compounds to increase effectiveness, which affects how it breaks down and affects both the food and environment.

4. It is now also used for 'green burndown'. To help dessicate the crop. AKA they use it to kills crops to speed harvest, resulting in significantly elevated levels in your food.

Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" is extremely overstated.

In terms of culture, United needs to learn from Southwest. Southwest has great culture internally as well as externally. United has bunch of slogans as culture. Their CEO has no clue about creating a culture that delights customers. He blamed the customer in the letter and then blamed it on system failure but never on him. He failed to create a customer centric culture and instead fostered a culture that perceives customers as a threat or idiots for flying their airline.

Pray tell what was objectionable about this comment that it got voted into invisibility?

@ritzw: "The possibility of preemptive nuclear strike is still looms. There is also the possibility that the person with their finger on the metaphorical button is not all there, and maybe shouldn't have that power. There is a movement to remove the ability for the president to call preemptive strikes. There is also a movement to remove ICBMs from the Triad. If enemies launch toward the US, an ICBM counter attack launch only allows a 6 minute window. (Assuming they targeted our ICBMs.) A side note: Military doesn't man the ICBMs. They are controlled by civilians. This is by design because the past administrations didn't trust the military to control ICBMs. The fear that they would use them without hesitation was too great.
Nuclear attack subs would pick up the slack and don't require the 6 minute response window. This would greatly reduce the currently great risk of thermonuclear war we live under."

This will have almost no effect, travel sites like Kayak, etc list United, and guess what? United is often one of the cheapest options, so it gets the sale. Nice concept, but it won't have an effect. What -might- have an effect on United is that the man just so happened to be Chinese and they want to expand into China. Otherwise, as heartless as it is to say, if United is $100 cheaper, I'm going to buy a ticket from United instead of Delta, SouthWest, etc; as will thousands upon thousands of other people.
I can understand this is a very strong belief that you hold, but it's the same kind of story that was used to link vaccines and autism. In the middle ages, similar appearingly non-random connections were used to convict people of witchcraft.

Lots of people get cancer. In many cases, without having any obvious risk factors. Non-smokers still get lung cancer, for example. Human beings have an amazing ability to notice correlations, to make connections. It's an adaptation that has been hugely advantageous to us as a species, but sometimes it causes us to see correlation where the underlying evidence is not very good.

That's not to say that Roundup didn't give your dad cancer. Maybe it did, but science requires more evidence than anecdotes.
I just booked my next work trip and even though United is the primary airline, I went out of my way to fly on a different airline. I've personally had really bad experiences with their flight staff and gate agents and this last weekend made me feel it's worth rewarding airlines like JetBlue with my business.

Sometimes, but economies of scale are moreover noticeable when you make 100,000+ of something than 200+.

I would say go electric, but with N optional and easily replaceable battery packs. So, routs that need 50 mile range get that and you can scale to 100, 150 etc, or add an extra pack when range starts to drop etc. This also lets you keep a motor pool of being repaired without needing an extra of each model.

It depends on what platform you are targeting, but as far as safe languages go, it is hard to beat Ada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_(programming_language)

Although Rust shows a lot of promise, Ada has a proven track record of use in safety critical applications such as avionics and railways.
> then are shocked to discover than when push comes to shove, strings are attached (such as lowest priority on rebooking).

...except in this case, United was in the wrong and hoping that no one would notice. There were no "strings" attached, though they want you to believe that there were.

I mean we're talking about United bumping paying customers who are already boarded and sitting in their seats from a non-overbooked flight to make room for employees from another airline.
Provably :)
I can really relate with your read on the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

My father was involved in some of the early long-term diabetes control trials which began at the University of Washington in the '80s. One group was randomly selected and told to keep doing what they were doing. The other group was to keep as tight of control over their blood sugar and insulin administration as humanly possible, and was continually given state of the art tools to do so. He was in the later group.

Despite having excellent leading-edge advice, and being one of the most disciplined people I've ever known - marathon runner / Mormon* / literal boy scout (master) - it was a constant battle to keep things under control. It's a myth that diabetics can't have sugar; rather, it's easier avoid it because it ends up being such a pain in the ass.

I wasn't really paying attention, but still knew what a basal rate was as a kid.

* I never realized how much more difficult Diabetes could be until college, when a roommate was relieved to hear I knew what a glucagon shot was, and how to administer it. Alcohol & everything else was something my dad never had to deal with.

I'm unclear how a procedure that might be illegal is related to buying a cheap ticket. We're talking about a man who bought a ticket, legally boarded a plane, and then was forcefully removed AFTER boarding.

The CEO remarked: The man was removed because employees were following the “involuntary denial of boarding process.” How do you deny boarding to someone who is already boarded?

United says its denial of boarding provisions only apply in the event of an “oversold flight." United defines oversold flights as:

> A flight where there are more Passengers holding valid confirmed Tickets that check-in for the flight within the prescribed check-in time than there are available seats.

Employees are not considered "passengers holding valid confirmed tickets that check-in for the flight within the prescribed check-in time." To reinforce this reality, the CEO admitted that the flight was not oversold.

But most importantly, there are different laws for customers pre-board and after you've board the plane. There's a very specific set of rules that allow United to kick a boarded passenger off a plane(Rule 21 Refusal of Transport), but there's overwhelming evidence that none of it applied to Dr. Dao.
This is probably the reason United is going after the passenger's personal life. Their PR team is overworking on creating a different narrative instead of feeling remorseful.
In other words, the USA does not have a housing shortage.

We just want to live in the most desirable places -- no surprise -- and we'll even be homeless to do so. Having a house of your own in Detroit is evidently less desirable than being homeless in San Francisco. Dignity has gone out of style, and the assistance is pretty good these days.

You can make the same argument for assembler.
My story about United was when I was flying from Vancouver to SFO. For some reason, we could not land at SFO so we ended up in Oakland. I said fine. Let me off and I will catch a cab.

They said that the plane was too big for Oakland. We sat on the runway for 2 hours then flew back to Vancouver with nothing put warm coke. By the time we got to Vancouver, it was late so so all airport and hotel food was closed. We had vouchers but nothing available to spend it on.

Of course they lied about the plane being too large, another airline flew the same plane to Oakland regularly. i had to spam fax their customer support line to get vouchers.
Incidents like this are a wake up call to process driven cultures. If the flight crew really cared about the passenger, they would have handled it differently. If the CEO really cared, he would have personally apologized to the passenger and taken care of him by now. No amount of process and regulation can build a brand as much as culture does. That's why I'm a loyal Southwest customer. They've never let me down when it comes to common sense and empathy.

Shell history is awesome, I'm always really intrigued when I see someone like a sysadmin who doesn't use shell history very well (read, at all...)
That too. :-)
That's an unfair judgement toward the C development community as a whole.

There are legitimate use cases for C. If you're writing low-level, bare-metal programs then there is no other portable programming language that offers better semantics. C programmers often laud that language because they can easily reason what the output of the compiler will be. That is an extremely important and rare property for a portable programming language.

But hey, don't listen to me, listen to an actual experienced C programmer: https://youtu.be/MShbP3OpASA?t=20m45s

UWP is not the successor to WPF for a simple reason: it's sandboxed, and comes with a very prescriptive UX platform (no tree-view, hWnd, or FileOpenDialog here, folks!)

For line-of-business apps it's DOA because ADO.NET is not available. Custom widgets (e.g. for industrial control) are much harder to develop because there's no replacement for GDI. The list goes on. UWP is, and was intended to be, only a platform for "apps" which act as a frontend for externally hosted web-services - not "real software".

What we should be campaigning for is for the XAML "Jupiter" platform within UWP to be made fully available in the pure Win32 world, with no special runtime, sandbox, or artificial restrictions.
No, I don't, but some of these are apples and oranges, that was part of my point. You're conflating many different types of things.

Specifically, the ones I talked about are for storing large tabular datasets on disk. Stuff that lays out data on disk so that it's easy and efficient to query only a part of the dataset, e.g. only certain columns or only certain rows that match a predicate or within a range of indexes. These can store hundreds of gb, no problem. They often have some sort of compression, like LZ, snappy or blosc that has relatively low CPU overhead while giving decent compression. I tried to separate the file formats (which are readable from other languages) from the python libraries that write them. For this, I'd default to pytables / HDF5, barring some specific use case where you'd already know what other one you need.

Dill / pickle are for serializing generic python objects. I wouldn't really use them to store anything big, but it's very convenient for complicated data structures, like hierarchies of objects and classes. E.g. to save the current running state of your program. You don't have to think about storage formats and layouts and serialization routines, if you have a list of python objects you can pickle it. Pickle is built in, while dill is an external library that nicely handles a bunch more edge cases.

PMML seems like an XML based format specifically for trained machine learning models. Don't really know much about this.

I am wondering how many of these wise commenters have actually taken the CISSP exam, or even know what it is? It costs $600 and only has a 60% pass rate even after it requires certain validations in order to achieve a test appointment.

In discussions like these I really wish people would post up front if they had taken the test (regardless of pass or fail). This lets me know which comments I can ignore as completely ignorant.
Damn that sucks! Just searching for Spider Search Analytics LLC brings up so many patent cases.
They prey on weak minds. The best defense is through a long-term meditative practice such as that detailed in "Turning the Mind Into an Ally" by Sakyong Mipham and Pema Chodron.

Years ago I dabbled in Golden Dawn ritual and almost lost my mind. A Buddhist friend told me I needed to chill out and gave me that book. After a month of 30 minute per day meditative sessions, my paranoia and delusions went away. There were many more benefits that came from continued practice - I could detail them but most people would scoff. Most ignorant people don't believe in magic, so why would they believe in mental powers attained through meditation?

Completely different situations.

Node and Scala for example are open source projects first then a company comes in and hires engineers and provides support. That model tends to work fine because you still have a rich, diverse community.

It's different when it's a company that open sources a project. It can sometimes be difficult then for that project to have that same diversity of views.
