Because it's even more ridiculous than raising normal animals for food. Producing a whole animal minus a functional brain is no less wasteful than raising a normal animal and you have the added expense of developing this tech (which, granted, goes to zero with time). We can already grow meat without actual animals, just using animal cells, and even engineering meat from completely plant tissue is viable. And that's for the case someone is psychologically “desperate” for meat as such, because we don't really need any animal products in our diet.
I wonder if these imaginary super-AI couldn't come up with a solution, does that make this problem of growing just the brain a NP-HARD problem in this imaginary world?
It doesn't have to be bulletproof to serve its purpose, as anybody who remembers downloading "Boon Joovi" MP3s from late Napster can attest. And if some transformations are ambiguous between multiple original spellings, so much the better.

I do not pretend to be any kind of expert, but on our team we needed to teach people a little bit about TDD as it related to Angular using Typescript with and intro to bundling and a whole slew of other things, so I made a video series that covers synch and async fundamentals inside of that framework using Jasmine: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr4KpsL6BPn0dzn84zjmx...

There are tons of really good books out there on the subject from Packt too. React using Jest isn't super widely filmed, but has good docs. If you do become a master, create a video series and help the next guy out. =) Happy coding!
You can get 2-3 ms response time (sans network) with any of Django, Flask and Pyramid. Database queries tend to eat a lot, esp. if the queries are bad (long wait in the DBMS or post-filtering in Python/whichever); sometimes ORMs can eat a fair bit as well. But it's fairly rare to get that low, most pages for me (that I cared about) will take 10-30 ms. Using the correct tools and the right approach is fruitful as always.

When using Google or Amazon assistant, I wish they would do the machine learning on the device. I understand they want to protect their models but just this morning:

Ok Google, what's the time ?

* 2 seconds or so, nothing *

Hey Google, what's the time ?

* Another 2 seconds or so, nothing *

Alexa, what's the time ?

* 2 seconds or so, again *

"Here it currently are the is 9:42 search results for"

What happened ? Network had a hiccup (okay, it sucks), with as a result that Google's connection was blocked for a while, this caused me to repeat the question, which caused Google assistant to resend the query (in other words send a cancel down a tcp connection that hadn't gotten through it's buffer yet, resulting in even more delay). More delay let me to ask alexa instead. Alexa got lucky on the network.

This resulted in Alexa and Google answering at the same time, alexa with the time, google assistant with the search results for "what's the time hey google what's the time alexa what's the time". I was ready to throw things out of the window.

But the root cause of this problem was the delay due to the network.

So PLEASE get local voice transcription going, please ! Save alexa and my phone from getting thrown out the window.

That's interesting, at my job we almost get these: we tend to dump tracebacks to the user, and it's common for them to screenshot the traceback (despite the "copy this error" button).

You should make a deal with the engineer that he will do overtime if there is a lot of work to do and he will spend unpaid hours in office if things are slow.

Welcome to Capitalism. In this case, there are no H1B pilots to put the blame on in this field. Like cheap H1B engineers from India are taking away our jobs, cheap field workers from Mexico are taking our jobs, cheap Chinese products. Emirates..I can go on. If anyone knows how Capitalism works, they will stop complaining that why their jobs are being replaced. Its not the cheap employees fault, its the very same capitalist organizations that you work for. Dont put the blame on a worker for taking away your job.

Indeed, there is a control of only a few percent per year. So how is RentBerry legal?

Um... yes. I missed a flight due to major flooding on the route to the airport requiring me to take the loooooooooog way around. The flooding didn't effect the airport itself (or my flight) because I don't live in a town with an airport.

It's also very, very easy to miss a connector flight if the plane coming in is delayed, or even if the airline decides to route you through an entirely different city. I've missed a couple that way. You can get held up at customs or security when landing in a new country and that country requires everyone to go through customs and security again.

Then there is illness, accidents, and emergencies that come up all the time.

To be clear, are these estimations of wealth "money in the bank" wealth (minus liabilities), or "worth of assets in the eyes of investors"?

Things like stick price are, in my opinion, a fickle thing. Until you sell yours stocks/shares for money, their value is still shifting.

In that sense "wealth" is similar to "perception"/"confidence" - it's not the same thing, because you have to figure in market/investor hype/rationality.
The reference at the end talking about comparing changes over time reminded me of a problem I've been kicking around. For this particular system that's not too hard, since you're putting each word on a one-dimensional femininity/masculinity scale, so you could plot a word on a line graph or something. But what do you do if you want to evaluate the changes of more complex relationships over time? Not just mapping words to a constant vector space, but modeling the relationships between words, such as clusters or word2vec representations. With something like word2vec you can take a bunch of words and project the vector space onto a plane so you can see the relative distances, but how do you express changes over time? You could show a bunch of planar projections for different instants in time, but it's hard to look at that and capture the changes.

So how do you visualize changes to these more complex interactions between data points, and also how do you mathematically quantify some of these changes? I'd really appreciate any advice on this. And sorry that this is kind of off topic for the article :)

>I don't want to fly on an airline with profit margins so slim.

You should probably consider switching to Greyhound in that case. The last few years have generally been good ones for commercial aviation but, historically, the industry lost money as whole since its inception.

One of the problems is that you may be willing to pay a few dollars more but most will just go with whatever is cheapest.
Just remember that automated tests only prove that the tests pass; they don't prove that your product works. You still need some amount of manual testing.

What automated tests do, though, is make it significantly easier to test. You will find bugs faster, and dramatically shorten the amount of manual testing that you need to do.

IMO, the best way to learn TDD is via experience. You need to work with a team that's willing to support a junior engineer. From a senior engineer's perspective, the amount of handholding that some junior developers need through writing decent unit tests is quite time consuming.

Thus, if I were you, I'd just be selective about who I work for. I'd look for a team that's willing to be patient while I learn, and that has enough senior developers that I can learn by following a good example. A team that wants a lot of experience in this or that is probably not able to allow you the time needed to learn.

the arm strength that appears necessary seems high, I would hope there is some sort of exo to assist with that or perhaps logic in the motors to shut down if they get into an odd angle
That's sort of what systemd could have been, before it tried to do everything.

Kiss is not something the systemd designers don't seem to understand, nor modularity
The problem is that a given provider (doctor or hospital) charges different rate to patients for the same service (procedure). Now lets not confuse what the patient pays with what the provider receives because insurance can be involved. the thing is the insurance companies "negotiate" lower rates in addition to paying their portion of the bill.

Say two people get their appendix out and the hospital bill is about 15K. One person is uninsured, so they get a bill for the full amount. The other is insured, so their insurance company gets a bill for 15K. The insurance company has an existing agreement with the hospital and says "We're only going to pay 12K" and that's what the hospital gets. Then they pass on the 30 percent of 12K to the patient and get that. This is seen as a bonus the insurance companies provide - negotiating better prices - 12K vs 15K. But what's really happening is the hospital is going to try to get 3K more from the uninsured guy.

My argument (how I think it should be) is that the hospital has to demand the same payment from everyone for that procedure - you will be responsible for whatever portion your insurance company doesn't pay, which is full price for the uninsured. Now the other hospital across town is free to offer the same procedure for 13K or 8K or 25K - whatever they think they can get, but they have to charge that price to all patients. This promotes competition between providers AND insurance companies and it will result in lower prices for both.

Web design vs. web development. What is the difference?
Heh. You have no idea. English doesn't even have proper genders. You're on easy mode.

If I say: "Your manager is good.", it's neutral. You can't figure out if I'm talking about a man or a woman without something additional.

In Romanian, and I guess in most Latin languages, no such luck. Except for a handful of neologisms, everything clearly mentions the gender, for better of for worse.

The direct translation in Romanian: "Managerul tău e bun" is masculine (both the noun and the adjective make that obvious).

The whole neutral gender movement in English sounds kind of funny for us... we could try to do it Romanian but it would be like lobotomizing the language.
I wonder what a few hundred years of using external gestation would do to early development.

Technologist who are trying to create an A.I. empowered robot with silicon should take note. Why complicate stuff when you already have millions of years of evolution giving you a good framework to start. Genetically design babies, and then produce them. Bingo, there you have your A.I. new born.

Creating real A.I. robots that are close to humans (intelligence-wise) is just complicating the process and pushing us a bit further from the ethical questions. I say let's face them now and push A.I. through biotechnology.

> it could be 4 hours hard work..

"Targets" are a pretty low end way to think of such an open ended job.

You can think of your job as "They asked me to do X and I'm going to do X and after that the rest of my 40 hours don't matter." Or, "I'm going to do as much as I possibly can in 40 hours." From the start of my career I always thought of it as the latter. I don't understand the mindset of the former in a professional job. Maximize your value to your employer or you'll be the last one to get promoted and the first one to get laid off.

There's always a backlog of defined tasks and there's always open-ended opportunity to make progress in ways you can think up yourself. Do you want to sit around waiting to be told what to do or engineer your own path?
There is nothing more reliable about manual testing than automated testing. If you are finding that your automated tests are often passing when the product is broken then your approach to testing likely needs more work, this is common when people rely too heavily on unit testing.

A good approach to avoiding this situation is, what is that manual test you do to make sure stuff works? automated it.

What is the state-of-the art way to block those annoying autoplay videos?

I have previously enabled click-to-play for flash, but now that videos have moved to html5, that no longer works. So then I installed the "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" chrome extension, which worked for a while, but seems to be less and less effective these days. Then I resorted to picking site elements with Ublock. Amazingly, this didn't work today for this Fortune article. I finally had to just block their CDN (brightcove) via Privacy Badger.

Surely there must be a better way. This is just getting insane.

If the each team member commits to a certain amount of work,

If you're committed to Agile, I don't understand why you're talking about individual commitments at all.

The team commits to sprint scope. The team succeeds or fails in meeting that commitment as a group.

Beyond that the team should be free to figure out how the commitment is met.

We have one team that works 10:30 to 6:30. Another that works more traditional 9-5 hours. One is largely remote. Another is co-located. They all produce high quality work at a solid, and most importantly consistent, rate.

If we tried to force some work pattern on them, I doubt they'd be as successful.

Well, we're talking about gender here, not sex, and given that there are two genders [commonly represented in literature], it stands to reason that they would have different tendencies of behavior, or else there would be no difference between the genders, and the concept would not exist.
