The core problem is that many political activists, from both the left and right wing, need "fake accounts" because Facebook is quite ban-happy and we don't want to risk our personal accounts being banned for political speech.

Given that Facebook now is more or less neccessary to stay in contact with friends and family, it should be regulated like a public communications utility - which means that banning people from communicating with friends and family must not happen, unless that is abused for spamming. Your DSL or phone provider is not allowed to cut your service for anything than abuse, too - so why should Facebook (and also, Twitter and Snapchat!) be excepted?!
This is ridiculous. Your anecdotal stories about a few thin women isn't harming the general population's fecundity, or even those womens'.
Your last paragraph could clearly be implemented in k8s / etc. but the defining characteristic is that you've built organizational controls to protect & optimize a distributed system. And the main problems you bemoan in the first paragraph are issues of, again, organizational control & maturity.

It's almost, like, technologies are just tools that can be either applied or misapapplied to a given domain, either for better or for worse. Huh.

> (hint: the US Constitution does not guarantee you a right to use Facebook, or any other private-sector service)

Oh yes, it does - your phone/DSL provider, for example, is not allowed to terminate your service for anything but missed payments and abuse (spamming/hacking). Facebook and other social networks must not be excepted from this!
I use Talend Open Studio a lot for this kind of stuff.

It might not be the best tool for the ML part; but for moving data, and ssh'in automatically to servers and executing commands is really good.

I used it (a long time ago) to ssh to a set of Juniper routers, execute a command, parse the results (in XML), update some db tables, and execute another commands in other routers...

At very low wage levels, near the subsistence level, the supply curve may also be curved backwards for a completely different reason. That effect creates an "inverted S" or "backward S" shape: a tail is added at the bottom of the labour-supply curve shown in the graph above with the quantity of labour-time supplied falling as wages rise. Then, because families face some minimum level of income needed to meet their subsistence requirements, lowering wages increases the amount of labour-time offered for sale. Similarly, a rise in wages can cause a decrease in the amount of labour-time offered for sale, and individuals take advantage of the higher wage to spend time on needed self- or family-maintenance activities.

For me it has a few factors: I learn, memorize, and internalize through argument and learning to explain things to others. Eventually my skill ceiling rises in a topic where this no longer applies much. But, if I can spend 5 seconds to save someone 5 hours, I'm likely to help unless I thoroughly dislike the person - it's just too high of a positive impact. With my peers, I'll accept much worse ratios (e.g. spend 1 hour to save you 2) under the vague unstated assumption that you'd do the same for me, or it'll help accomplish our common goal faster. And in the special case of helping people with research and problem solving skills, it'll sometimes make people less annoying :)
of course! and there is nothing wrong with it.

but it's disingenuous to claim you're motivated by something else in your pleading.
What you mentioned JIT is exactly my thought when IBM explained why they like about Swift over Java in JVM.

More technical explanation:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com...

"In practice, methods are not compiled the first time they are called. For each method, the JVM maintains a call count, which is incremented every time the method is called. The JVM interprets a method until its call count exceeds a JIT compilation threshold. Therefore, often-used methods are compiled soon after the JVM has started, and less-used methods are compiled much later, or not at all. The JIT compilation threshold helps the JVM start quickly and still have improved performance. The threshold has been carefully selected to obtain an optimal balance between startup times and long term performance."

Not really. Go is used to replace Python. Rust is used to replace C/C++.
It seems to me that humans can predict 3D spaces pretty good.

I've done alot of construction work. After some practice you can measure quite precisely what does fit where and even how long something is. Our brains seem to be able to "compute" such things despite all the difficulties of constructing a coherent image of our surroundings in the first place.

Or think of moving your huge couch through the narrow stairway of your house - we can predict how you need to turn it so it fits. Or think of truck drivers that are able to maneuver their large vehicles within cm range. Even when they can't see some of it (dead angles) and need to rely on their mental model.

Both TypeScript and JSX are optional, you don't have to use either with them.

There is a ton of different choices out there to choose from if React and Angular are not your thing.

One example: Ember.js recently moved their rendering into a standalone library called Glimmer (https://glimmerjs.com), which is a bit React-like in its approach but nonetheless different. They advocate Typescript as well but don't require it.

Elm seems like a thing people like as well, check it out here: http://elm-lang.org - but it's a js compiler so it's also what you might classify as a "proprietary" tech.

Ah, I misinterpreted this as you saying that you dislike the fuzzy geometry of the human mind in general - not specifically for measurement purposes:

> My problem with our brains (...) is exactly this "fuzzy geometry"
Yours is a common sentiment but it is not very accurate. Deep learning is not separate from or a more evolved form of machine learning. It's a learning algorithm, with its own structural biases, such as from architecture and optimization method. There is a duality between optimization/search and sampling, they're two sides of the same coin. Instead of giving labels, I prefer thinking about shared/unshared properties and assumptions of the algorithm. Deep learning is unique in its ability to use gradients and credit assignment through a hierarchy when possible.

Deep learning, like all learners, must take assumptions and there are trade-offs. You trade time spent thinking up features (which reduce learning time and improve sample efficiency), for time thinking up architectures and the appropriate biases (graph conv, rnn, convnet, etc). Though still limited to a particular domain, you hope to gain an architecture that works with broader applicability than a feature based method. You also add more complex training, longer experimentation waits and gain a level of indirection between the problem and the learning algorithm. This means that the gains from new knowledge and understanding of a domain filter through slower for deep learning.

In deep learning, it's a very experimental science. Theory is usually after the fact and not very filling. People try this or that and then write a show and tell paper, but knowledge still helps. Where as in shallow methods, learning something about how images work can directly inform your algorithm, in deep learning you now have to think what sort of transformation will best capture the invariant I am looking for.

Deep learning (especially when you can get it end to end) has removed the expertise threshold for impressive results (the bigger your budget the better). But if it were really so magical, the way some people go on about it, then it would already be obsolete as a field because, minimal need for human expertise.

The mere fact he was asking himself those questions show that he's conscientious.

Offloading view changes to clients can both give a better experience (changes are reflected ~instantly vs a refresh and a round-trip to the server) and can scale much better (e.g. Server only used to process CRUD operations, CDN or nginx / Apache used to distribute static assets like the JS app, index html, CSS + images etc).

It can also potentially help with things like caching, but more traditional server-side templated designs can also use things like Varnish with the ESI feature, utilizing caching mechanisms in the framework / app (e.g. Memcache or whatever), etc.

I used to think SPAs were dumb, but now I love Rails 5 API-only mode + EmberJS + EmberData. It also makes server-to-server a breeze, because you already have your API. Mix in JSONAPI, swagger, and oauth and it's a pretty happy environment to build software in.

This evergreen topic comes up enough that there will always be multiple sides to this topic. I've gone so far in past threads to imply that other devs were "wrong" about being more productive in open office plans, and got bashed for that. "Don't tell me how I'm more productive", etc.

There may never actually be hard data on this, because it's, at core, likely very hard to measure, but I'd love to read some research/findings on this issue more.

I'm in a coworking situation now, with a private space, and I'm always more productive in the private space. But I do relieve some stress and get energized by interacting with others in the common area. And in previous jobs, there's of course always times when you need to talk to colleagues about project issues, and that's a requirement.

To the folks (devs) who insist that they are "more productive" in open plan offices, I wonder if the rest of the folks in the room with you are equally as productive, or if the productivity is just being shifted from some people in the room to others.

Dictators are dictators only as long as the military supports them. If you're the dictator of say, Egypt, and you decide to "sell" the Great Pyramids, I'm sure some people in the military would have a problem with that.

Not really, you've identified something where the compiler spots a special case pattern and rewrites it, something available to any compiler writer who is sufficiently chummy with the standard library. I'm not saying it isn't useful, but it's nothing like the runtime optimisations the OP was talking about. It can't even handle a for loop...

Closest real world example to a sufficiently smart compiler is GHC, and that can be plenty dumb at times.

It's a pretty late hour here in the USA (where I expect most would-be respondents are living), and yet you followup with a smug edit, since no one has met your challenge in a mere two hours:

> As anticipated, this comment is unpopular. However, no one has yet attempted to articulate a criticism

You aren't owed a fruitful discussion, and it's clear you're not looking for one. That's criticism enough, but I'll continue.

> spits in the face of process that has produced every genuine, valuable human insight in history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelics_in_problem-solvin... and other anecdotal experiments and experiences seem to indicate otherwise.

> I haven't encountered a single LSD advocate that wasn't conspicuously unstable and self-hating

I'm sorry that this has been your experience. That hasn't been my experience. There are a lot of quiet users of LSD, so given your aggressive stance against it, you're most likely to only encounter the most outspoken/optimistic ones. How about someone like James Fadiman? How is he conspicuously unstable and self-hating?

> we don't say a word when they encourage others to risk everything

Many recognize that not every psychological experience is harmless or positive. I see a lot of people warning of the risk of correlation with schizophrenia, and others warning that a negative experience can do a number on your psyche. It's not for everyone, and not for anyone all the time, and many make the point to responsibly disclose that.

Tit for tat. When you gain particular categories of guaranteed correctness there are things you needn't worry about, and that saves you lots of trouble down the road.

How much ergonomical pains such a gain is worth is obviously debatable, but I think it's absolutely reasonable to say that trading guaranteed correctness for comfort more often than not is going to be the right thing to do in systems-level programming. And the lower-level you go, more so.

Amazon Subscribe and Save gives you 15% off on your order if you schedule 6 or more items.

Economies of scale to drive prices down by 15% over what you would normally pay do exist. E.g.

The promise (and likelihood) of continual recurring revenue means the net margin made per transaction can be lower yet still sustainable for Amazon, while benefitting the consumer.
