great to hear! The reason I don't use libraries is because I want the code, in itself, to be educational. So people can read the code and see what algorithms are being used for every step. This project is less about trying to compete with amazing performance, and more of an educational play ground.
I agree. Just saying it isn't evidence for future big plan success. I'm glad some people are optimistic for it. I wonder what will happen to all these goals if / when the next recession hits. But that's more of my cynical view coming in. You keep being you and I'll be me ;-)
Except they are also doing the dev-ops yucky work to do the scaling. It is a lot of extra work with no value until later.

Say they are making a crud app. Keep no state in session. Deploy as easily as possible. Boom, done. Later you can add a load balancer to scale to 100 servers. Right now you can run it on 1. It is 'designed to scale'. But actually running your single app in a 1 node k8s cluster? That is days of extra work for nothing right now.

I prefer solving it through the low-tech expedient of turning my head.

I think rear cameras are wonderful. They make reversing maneuvers so much easier, and cover a blind spot that is impossible to cover in any other way short of getting out of the car.

But I don't get the worry over side blind spots. They're only blind spots if you keep your head pointed resolutely forward.

I have often thought that autistic people or socio-path people who have had to learn the appropriate responses to various human emotions would be a good resource for AI research in the area of developing more "human like" interactions. I am not autistic but I think I have elements of that lack of empathy, so I have had to also learn certain rule sets in a similar way: if someone says thing A that is supposed to have reaction B. Intensity of A implies Intensity B depending on situation C and so on. It would be interesting to capture all those rule sets from various subjects.
I'm better at Python than Clojure, but I appreciated this article anyway. Clojure and Python take different approaches, so a comparison of Python and Rust and one of Python and Clojure highlight different parts of Rust.
Cheers for feed back. The cost/error function is simply the 1/2(a-y)^2 ...(I think its called the square cost function). I wrote all the code myself (no libs) so people like yourself can see all steps required to train an ANN. I was thinking of getting things working for GPU, which should even make cython look slow. All depends on how much attention I get. Right now it's still got quite a few bugs, and in general is under done.

I am 100% against those cameras on everyday cars(not trucks). In a few minutes im heading to the local pool to swim laps. That parking lot is a nightmare. Older people in the nicer/largest cars heads-down watching the screen while backing up. Ive seen far to many close calls. Cars should be limited to 0.01 mph while using such cameras.

Remember what happens next. They will want to remove mirrors. Then rear windows will go. Backing and changing lanes will become like instrument flying. Pedestrians and two-wheelers beware.

> Why Germany Educates International Students for Free

One thing to remember: That university education may not be that expensive does not mean everybody is allowed to study. Universities often set high barriers.

In Germany 27% of young adults get an university degree. OECD average is 40%. It's not because Germans are more stupid, but because there are less students allowed to enter University education. Also there are other means of advanced education outside of traditional Universities. Many jobs base their education on the dual education system.

How would that make it nonviable? The whole point of the gas motor in a Volt is to let you drive beyond battery range. Once you deplete the traction battery, you're essentially driving a standard hybrid that still gets excellent gas mileage and has similar range to standard gasoline cars. It's not like the i3 range extender where you lose substantial power once it kicks in, it has a microscopic fuel tank, and it's really just a last resort if the batteries can't get you where you're going.
Test your hypothesis then, look up tuition for the top 100 on that list and check if there is a clear gradient.

Hint: there isn't.

In this case it's especially ironic. The Army regarded themselves as the guardians of Turkey's secular democracy - even if that meant acting anti-democratically. This is of course a problematic position.

Now Erdogan - as a result of genuine democratic support- has gained enough power to make his move and has resolved to dismantle democracy and weaken certain factions in the Army to protect himself against any similar future coups.
Uninformed decisions by masses who can't be expected to have the general knowledge to solve every issue. In a republic, we trust that our representatives will find and tap such experts to inform them. We don't always agree with the end decision, but, at least we are not on the chopping block. If some portion of the voting public became directly responsible for a poorly engineered bridge failure, or Flint water, I can only imagine the backlash. With a republic we can hold a small few responsible without upending everyone for their votes all the time.

I'm curious if you've ever lived in these areas and had friends that fit the description of your comment.

I think you'll find that inner city kids get just as many breaks as suburban white kids. You'd have a point if it was the black ghetto kid in the suburbs being caught at a party - but within the city environment absolutely no way. The kids who got in trouble for that stuff growing up were on their 14th chance.

I lived in such a neighborhood and had local friends growing up. It took a lot to get arrested for something as simple as a joint. You were generally well known as a troublemaker by then, and rightfully so.

The typical response to those issues was dumping out the liquor/drugs and telling the kid to go home unless he was a known problem, in which case yeah - the cops used broken window policing to get them off the streets.
The budget of top US universities is at least an order of magnitude higher than the top german universities. I doubt that tuition is the biggest factor though. Donations from alumni is more important. In the US loyalty to your alma mater is cultural. In Germany it is not. The biggest donation ever was 200M€ from an SAP founder [0]. Even two digits are noteworthy in general.

Very true, that's the thought I had when I saw this. Cross-culture dialogue and understanding is very important, and it would be nice to see more and more, especially when it may be threatened by growing nationalism in various countries.
Again I believe that it is the concept of not achieving typicality that is the driving force of continuously deepening the autistic's state of alienation, even when typicality itself is an abstract "average" state that no person actually embodies.

edit: Just wanted to add, I'm not saying that autistics are not clearly at the avant-garde edges of personality, I am just suggesting that the source of the difference is created by the autistic's self-understanding.
I am not autistic but I relate 100% with the author. In fact I have given lots of thought to this same subject.

I have realized that while I usually struggle to find the appropriate emotion to express to people, sometimes I do have authentic emotional experiences, and I wonder if the author does as well. For instance, do you laugh at jokes?
Again I'm talking out of my ass here (very new to Rust's async) but AFAICT running core.run(work).unwrap() inside the loop is the same as just running it synchronously (unwrap is waiting for work to end, i.e. there's only a single concurrent connection ever per thread.)

It'd probably be better to continously run a core per thread and .spawn many tasks for it so that there are several concurrent connections per thread. Or maybe just .run a future which is the .join of multiple .get futures?

Two things missing that I wish I knew when I had learned Haskell.

First, Haskell is just another programming language. It has many papers written about it, and many people have strong opinions about it, but at the end of the day it is not that special.

Second, the Haskell community is not friendly and welcoming to many groups of folks. In particular, if you are a fan of dynamic/gradual typing, objects, distributed systems, etc. do not expect a warm welcome.

A personal anecdote: I left #haskell on Freenode because a regular and popular user proposed and endorsed an extended analogy wherein all humans are divided into "dynamically-typed" and "statically-typed" people, and statically-typed people are superior because they are more reliable. This kind of bias pervades the community and ruins any kind of cross-ecosystem collaborative efforts.

Edit: Was I being confrontational? I wasn't even part of this conversation! I was lurking, and I saw this ridiculous thing play out unprompted between regulars.

Contractors must go through the same security clearance adjudication process as gov employees. They must work in NSA accredited SCIFs at the facility or may even work at an Agency building. Additionally, the executives at a contractor need to go through a security review process as well (I do not know much about the extent of this).

Your concern absolutely makes sense when thinking of "contractors" in the private sector (in the sense that one may think security may be more lax or that they may cut corners to save money, but in the IC it is usually very close to being an Agency employee, just that contracts are used for specific needs for budgeting / forecasting purposes.

A language with pointers also allows a function to alter its logical (not syntactical) argument values in a way that negatively affects the caller.

There isn't much practical difference between using

// void c_func_alters_deref_pfoo(Foo * pfoo)
Foo foo = { ... };
c_func_alters_deref_pfoo(&foo);

and

// void cpp_func_alters_foo(Foo & foo)
Foo foo = { ... };
cpp_func_alters_foo(foo);

besides the ability to pass null or otherwise invalid pointers in the C-style version, which can (depending on situation) either simplify your API or be a source of bugs.

Yeah, the wry humor throughout is great. Another good bit: "While the Rust project doesn't start off with any equivalent to Clojure's namespace declaration, once you move beyond a single source file you'll need to use it. This isn't C or C++, where you just include files like a caveman. Rust separates code into modules, and each source file is automatically given one based on the file name."
> the whole dodge that the first amendment only applies to the government is dangerous

As a supporter of that "dodge", allow me to defend it (though I don't really disagree with your comment in general).

Freedom of speech as a principle has a fundamental tension. One person's freedom to speak must be balanced with another person's freedom to exclude that speech from their private life. Private folks having the ability to go places where they can ignore the people they've chosen to ignore is an important part of why free speech works at all. For instance, we don't need laws against Holocaust deniers, we can simply choose to frequent places where they are excluded.

Freedom of speech as a law is the release valve for this tension. If every private individual and organization in the country has chosen to ignore a person's views, that person is still free to make themselves heard with the government. They can write letters and go to meetings with no fear of punishment for the unpopularity of their beliefs. They can't be legally kept from starting their own private organization where they are not ignored and advertising it to attract others.

Personally, I just find this all to be a very good solution to a difficult problem, so I'm skeptical when I see suggestions that it should be done differently. In this case, the suggestion is that the freedom to exclude (as a principle - there is no law in this direction) should be more tightly regulated. Maybe that's a good idea because of the unique circumstances of the internet, but I'm not yet convinced that it's better than the current regime, which has existed for a long time, and which I think works pretty well.
I have no personal experience of it, but I know people who have. As a result I've read a bit about it. It seems that people in these circumstances can be content with who they are, but the external pressures from society can be overwhelmingly unbearable.

I don't know how common it is, but you can look up the terms "non-binary" and "transgender" and find out more.

Again, personally, I think we should just let people get on with being who they are. Respect them for who they are and the work they do, and just stay the hell out of their personal lives. No business of mine.

I'm a stickler for appropriate use of literal/figurative, and I think it was used correctly here. In addition to the clarifying effect mentioned by other posters, the literal use of the word "wall" is being emphasized. No, you're not a literal flower on the wall, but you are a "wallflower" (figurative) that is standing by a wall (literal). Applying "literal" to half a compound word is unusual, but I can't think of a better way to phrase the concept.

I seriously doubt the average Ivy League/Oxbridge aspirant would ever consider a Germany university as an alternative. Below these few elite universities you have another upper tier which in the UK would be Imperial/UCL/Durham etc. (although some departments in this supposedly lower tier are superior to the top tier). Below that you have another tier, and looking at this tier in the global rankings you are starting to see some German universities crop up. Basically, and I'm not looking to be offensive, but with these universities your market is by definition the more mediocre students, and it is in this group that I think you would start to find students for whom price is more of a priority than quality. Students at the better than average universities expect their degree to deliver a premium that will easily wipe out the cost.
