If you accept the premise that the problem is how to only allow the government access to encrypted messages, you are implicitly agreeing that people have no right to conduct themselves in a way that hampers surveillance.

Carry a fully charged phone linked to your name at all times, don't wear face-obscuring items such as hats or sunglasses, make sure your license plate is clean and well lit for all the automated readers, pay for taxi's with your credit card, don't use cash, and always speak clearly and into the microphones. If one of your home's microphones should malfunction, a licensed technician will arrive shortly to replace it. They use a master key, which all locks licensed for consumer sale must obey, so you don't even have to be home to let them in - how convenient!

Why? That doesn't surprise me at all. As a (Computer Science) student, there were a lot of jokes (e.g. connecting to other computers, and doing... stuff) involving scripts that most people just blindly copied, without understanding them at all. And I have seen the same last year during an internship.
Thx for trying out.

lance is very new (you can lower "active" filter to 0.1 and it will show up)

BrowserQuest does not refer to its github repo in package.json, so (at least for now) there is no easy way I could reach it. It neither defines any keywords nor description in package.json so it will not show up at the bottom either. But even if it had, you would have to lower or remove "latest" filter. Not to mention, the package itself does not even exist on npm so it's not easily installable.

Is it widely used? Latest commit was 5 years ago, pull reqs are not merged, etc.

BTW: latest reindex was done 2 weeks ago, so next time lance will probably show up by default.

BTW2: I am starting with npm and then I try to find linked repositories so I can get stars -> only npm packages are searched

Abstract Meaning Representation
Economics keeps confusing me. Is this not the very goal of international trade? If someone else is better or cheaper at producing specific goods or services, then you import them, let your industry die, and move the people to a different industry. At least unless the other country is just trying to kill your industry with subsidies or something along that line only the gain market dominance and raise prices later.

"At the time, none of the major automakers had spelled out a serious plan for getting fully self-driving cars on the road."

Even if it had worked out, a deal with Waymo would not have been a "serious plan". This deal only amounted to throwing money at a hype factory in order to gain credibility in an imaginary market. Waymo hasn't proven it's even on track to create a workable product in the next decade. Google in particular has a proven track record of having a very short attention span. They won't make a good partner in the long run, no matter what. Carmakers like Ford would be a lot better off playing the long game on this, focusing on building out practical semi-automated safety features in the proven iterative manner they know, and growing their own expertise in self-driving engineering in-house.

"We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run." -- Roy Amara

AI is similar: in the 1960s, it seemed machine translation was "just around the corner," but it turned out to not be practical for a long time. Until it was, in the 2000s or so.
Not really. If you aren't able to concentrate for a long time, how can you join a meeting and catch the important stuff? If your mind is wandering and you appear to ask questions which have been answered you are going to sound like you didn't pay attention. I have seen people struggle to keep up because they have so many meetings so many emails and so many questions to take care. Sure you donmt code anymore, but you have a lot of little things to take care of. I work in infrastructure/operation so maybe that's different from a manager working on iOS product. Point is you will get frustrated and that's bad. It lowers your confidence, maybe.
Way late, but your response sort of proves the point. You're having to argue about what I can infer about the language.

What JS/Ruby/Lisp/Perl/Java do is irrelevant. Hey, C/Go/D/C++ would all be more likely to append by value, but neither of us care a whit because it's asking about Python, which I know nothing about.

So (and this is really hard) try to forget that you've got experience with the language, and approach it as a random pseudo language: this question has no clear answer, because it depends on the memorized implementation details of the standard library of a language...

That's bad.

---

Finally: JS doesn't have matrix as a base type (boolean/number/string/null/undefined/symbol is it, baby), so for this same question, I'd strongly argue that you're simply wrong about bucketing JS with those other languages. Again, for JS the question would revolve around the implementation details of the matrix object and its prototype. Trust me, I can write a useful matrix implementation that appends by value in JS.
> RE the group assignments, my university quite successfully dealt with this by introducing a scaling factor based on peer assessments within the group.

This is something my university has done, but didn't implement quite as well. I think the key here is making it completely anonymous (ideally filled out online individually) because otherwise objectively assessing a group member's performance in front of them is difficult.

With that said, I think I'd still find it hard to outright fail a group member via these means unless they literally put zero effort into the group project - it seems a small thing to threaten their entire degree over.

But that way they learn manipulating people instead of programming. The point of a programming assignment or exam is to force people understand programming. If you're hiring programmers you likely want "Masters Degree in IT" to mean "this person can code", not "this person can manipulate people".

Good for them, not necessarily good for other people and the company in general. And in my experience romantic or erotic relationships in a workplace is a very bad idea. It's probably this reason that a woman on a ship used to be associated with bad luck - in an all-male crew people are likely to fight for her favor, instead of cooperating. Note I'm not saying women shouldn't perform traditionally male jobs, I'm point out that an unhealthy proportion of men to women can encourage extra cheating.

Good insight, that would explain the mechanism propelling a fractionally small minority of cheaters at best.
They subsided solar as well. It's probably the reason why no one could make a profit in solar energy. Too many small companies competing over a small share of the energy market.
I wonder to what degree this is motivated by an attempt to stifle the expansion of renewable energy. I sometimes get the impression that the "conservative" position has morphed from "cheap energy is good for the economy" to "Coal power, even if it's more expensive than solar or wind, just to annoy the environmentalists".

Note that this isn't about "dumping" (selling below costs), but a much weaker WTO provision allowing to temporarily slow down the pace of change to allow the domestic industry to adapt.

Good question! In this case, the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing their solar industry. The only way for us to compete would be for us to heavily subsidize our own solar industry, but what is the likelihood of that happening?

Good column but this ongoing idea that the smartphone is the new personal computer is wrong. It's a different type of device. Smartphones are not replacing computers in terms of a device to get work done, other than email and phone calls. Doing real work for just about any job on a smartphone, even a big one like my iPhone 7 Plus, is not really viable. You still need a laptop or desktop to work in a spreadsheet, design a full page ad layout or do serious programming.

We need to let go of this idea that new technology is always a version of some other one, or replacing some other one. That's actually rare. Most of the time new inventions are just that; new.

Given this, why would someone want to get a CS degree, usually at a significant cost, when their coworkers will happily cover the same content while getting paid to learn it? To put it more succinctly, given this, what is the business case to expect increasing enrolments in CS? You will always have some who are passionate about the study, but it seems unlikely that the segment of passionate people is growing over time at this point. CS is not a new field of study anymore.

You don't need strong AI for it to be dangerous and useful. Climate change isn't going to kill us all, AI or astroid hit might.
One of the principles of effective altruism is finding causes which are important, tractable, and neglected. Climate change is definitely not neglected - you could certainly make the case that we ought to be doing more, but not that it's ignored.

Research into x-risks from AI, though, remains an extremely niche field - its total funding is probably several orders of magnitude less than the amount spent on climate change. 80,000 Hours care about effectiveness on the margin, which is why their list of priorities looks the way it does.

Emphasis on "can make" is due in this case. It's still a different dynamic with respect to status and a different pay scale in general (that is to say, exceptions of course exist).
Interesting.

At the state schools in my state, the curriculum generally consisted of math up through and including three semesters of Calc + Linear Algebra + Discrete + 3 semesters of calculus-based Physics with labs + two semesters of algorithm design and formal methods (which I count as math courses) + Stats + an Operational Research course. You could also swap one of the sciences with a semester on diff-eq if you wished. I think you could get a math minor if you took something like 3 more higher-level math courses and a dual major wasn't that much more after that. It was brutal and I think the second highest number of required credits of any major at the school after EE. It wasn't uncommon to start a semester with 100 students in the class and end with 8-12 at the end.

The non-CS "Info Sys" or "Software Engineering", etc. dropped all the calc, linear algebra, OR, formal methods and required only two semesters of science classes that did not require any calculus (they were called something like "Physics for Business" or something) and no algo design. They actually had fewer classes than the CS major, but the rest of the gap was filled with major specific courses like finance or econ or whatever.
Don't think of it as "a mind", but as "the knowledge held by a mind": one of the defining properties of knowledge is truth.

(That's not intended as an endorsement of Lucas-Penrose. There are deeper flaws in the argument, like the assumption that the truth of the knowledge of the mind implies that the mind KNOWS its own truthfulness.)
International Travel to the U.S. Sees Double-Digit Decline Under Trump
When I stopped in 2009, I went tourign Europe with bands for four years, doing mainly roadie/driver/merch guy stuff.

It's been a relieving experience, I went back to thinking only about today, what we had to do for today's show and nothing more, eventually planning tomorrow's trip, but without much stress.

No planning, no meetings, no standups, no due dates, just load/unload the van, mount the stage, check check check one-two-one-two, waiting for people to show up at the merch stand, with a glass always filled with something.

I was in charge of checking that the venues were respecting our rider, so my job ended up being counting beers and having fun with friends while having party every night.

It has also been cheaper than living in my city, everything was already paid: meals, sleeping accommodations, booze, even drugs most of the times.

Then the band I was working the most stopped for a couple of years to write the new album and I went back into programming, learnt Elixir/Erlang, and now I am consulting for different kind of companies (including banks, video games and insurance companies) to eradicate Java from this planet :)

p.s.: during this awesome times I also had the pleasure to work at an EOTM concert with Nick, their merch guy who was brutally killed in Paris at the Bataclan.

He truly was a great guy, may he rest in peace.

p.p.s.: I think I should add that I left because I had been working home for too long, I was stressed, almost burnt out, plus I was having big problems getting paid on time (if paid at all).

It's been one of the economically lowest moments of my life, I barely had enough money to buy cigarettes, but absolutely one of my greatest and funniest achievements.

It gave me the boost to rethink my life in terms of working better and do less, not more.

I was absolutely no kid anymore (I was 30 already) and still doing it from time to time, when i need to take the steam out.

Scandalous Weird Old Things About The C Preprocessor (2015)

Of course you got downvoted for telling the truth. Essential seems to be in pre-launch and Rubin is one helluva competitive advantage who early adopters will know about.
I'd disagree on this. Is it important for the university to cover the theory (algorithms, compiler design/automata/languages/parsing, logic, discrete mathematics etc)? Absolutely.

Does that mean there isn't space for a module on software engineering theory (design patterns, development methodologies, OOP principles, testing, version control...)? I really don't see why that has to be the case. Some of the worst code I've seen has been written by academics - undocumented, undescriptive nonstandard single letter variable names everywhere, huge monolithic functions named "compute" that span hundreds of lines and several levels of indentation.
Actually, at least to my knowledge, ppst scarcity is defined as producing a good or service at very low cost.

You might be interested to also know that traditionally the scarcity problem is defined as limited resources. When JMK talked about the scarcity problem, he was talking about limited resources--so when we talk about food, that's looking to be getting very close to sowthing that is not a limited resource. It's almost not even scarce, and it's easily produced with little input*
