I think you're placing too much emphasis on the act of invention itself. Figuring out how to build a microwave oven, i.e. inventing it, is but a small part of the enterprise of putting one in every home. Supply chains, marketing, servicing, cost cutting, etc. are all important and tricky parts of it.

I've never used Vue, and in many ways am the target audience of this post. From my perspective, I think he took the right approach. Starting right off with a .vue file would be pretty alien to newcomers.
Sorry for delay,

> There is no connection between the number of sources used and whether or not they are anonymous.

there is - If there is only one source it requires more scrutiny. Multiple independent sources might at least be checked for consistency.

I don't, as I already stated, I don't know much about WG - you brought it up.

Depends on what you are trying to prove - If it's "what Trumps said" then people not in the meeting have no reliability on the matter.
Python's significant indentation is also off-putting for a lot of people who are no longer newcomers to the language. I think some people are also unhappy with its effects without realizing that the significant indentation is contributing to those effects, such as how significant indentation interacts with other language features to force trade-offs between some programming techniques and longer lines of code.

Code I write for work these days (not including Puppet config, which is Ruby, or shell scripts) is all Python, and I still dislike the significant indentation. I do not dislike significant indentation per se, but I do dislike some of its effects in concert with other language design decisions. I did have a knee-jerk negative reaction to Python's significant indentation by itself when I first encountered the language a long time ago, but I got over it when exposed more to a couple other languages with significant indentation where it felt less off-putting. For instance, I never had a problem with Haskell's use of the off-side rule for specific block types (though I'm far less familiar with Haskell in general than Python), and did not even realize the language used the off-side rule for a while because it blended so seamlessly and naturally with the "obvious" way to organize code in every case where the rule applies. To repeat and clarify my feeling on the matter, though, I still dislike the off-side rule in Python, because of its interactions with other language features.

I don't want to distract from Nim discussion to create a whole separate debate, so I may not respond to further questions on the subject here -- I just wanted to point out that significant indentation is not devoid of its trade-offs for the benefits some people enjoy. I understand that some people like significant indentation so much that the other concerns that arise might end up beneath their notice, and others may hate it just out of some stubborn attachment to the conventions of other languages, but it is worth noting that it really does come with trade-offs, and there are also many people who dislike it specifically for the effects those trade-offs have on their code, and that this is a perfectly valid and reasonable position to take (even for those who find it difficult to identify or articulate the specific, undesirable causes of those effects they dislike). There are problems in practice, but not problems so big that one cannot reasonably ignore them if one likes the positive effects of significant indentation.

My usual solution to the problems Python's significant indentation solves would just be to fire people who lack such attention to detail that they cannot learn to format code nicely, though. As such, the language enforcing it offers less benefit for me than it might for others.
Because becoming fluent has a cost value trade off, and I think there are a lot of people who simply don't think time invested in that is worth it.

I touch a terminal a lot, and I don't value vim enough to become fluent. I certainly know how to use it, and I know a fair bit of the commands, but it's nowhere close to my preferred workflow.

Plus, there's a huge array of tools out there to allow me to work with files in the editor of my choice, even when working on remote machines.

Finally, I grew up playing video games and using a computer, complete with modern input. The mouse is a first class input device, and I know how to use it effectively, quickly, and precisely to perform a wide variety of actions. I prefer an editor that treats the mouse like it's useful, rather than an add on that you can enable with extensions if desired.
Auto shufflers are all about dealing speed. Hand shuffle at high stakes is about service. It isn't about increasing house edge. In fact house edge will fluctuate so little that when it occurs and you make a max bet you'll be spotted and stopped.
There is no guarantee that under different management the same success would have resulted. So blunder?
I am sorry to say that your reasoning is simplistic. The mortality risk implied by a potentially longer excision is not that trivial. Actually, this is exactly why the morcellator made it to widespread use. If that wasn't the case, you would be saying things on the order of "why use such primitive techniques when you can do it through less risky incisions? Whoever thought this was a good idea should be disqualified"
Benefit versus risk of the use of a morcellator remains to be established. Which is why the FDA did not ban it altogether. But in an overly legalized society such as the US, manufacturers will often find beneficial to push the complication risk back onto the practioner by discontinuing their product in hope of avoiding trial.
> That is part of the thing, right? You don't stick up with anything like that, you are mainstream and know that you are accepted by colleges

You make a lot of assumptions..
Good for you, simplifying your life is useful (I work in LA but live two blocks from my job in Westwood).

It depends on when you want to commute, if you want to fight it out 7-9:30/4:30-6:30 with rush hour traffic, then ya, it might take 90 minutes (wait, no, it would never actually take 90 minutes unless you were commuting from north or south of Seattle....or maybe West Seattle, I guess you are exaggerating a bit here). If you travel off peak, its like 20 minutes between OTC and downtown by bus.

That being said, if I had to choose between a toxic work environment with a great location and a great work environment with a crappy location, I would probably pick the latter for my own sanity (best to have both, though).

Some of the things you mentioned, like SLAM, are not tied to cameras and used with LIDAR as well.
They are pretty similar, though one thing this article lightly touches on is the standalone .vue file, which works absolutely beautifully. JSX feels like a hack to me, and the ability to write HTML, JS, and CSS as such in a single file greatly simplifies everything. You can even use different flavors of each (ES6, Sass, etc) no problem. I would be shocked if this feature doesn't find it's way into react, angular, and others.
Wouldn't it make sense to escape markdown syntax in the HTML? In HTML which you're converting from. * has not special meaning.

if Germany had more intact pre-WWII industrial sites than is commonly portrayed, that makes the original question even more interesting. how did German industry become, and remain, so competitive in the first place?

the US also had intact industrial sites after WWII, but its middle class job base has not been so well preserved in the face of recent global competition.
One of the problems with the current peer review system is the ease with which a reviewer can recommend rejecting a manuscript based on personal conflicts of interest (for example, viewing the work as competitive with their own). Making reviews open, and possibly de-anonymizing them, could alleviate this (allowing the public to review the review itself). Since the review requires the manuscript itself as context, the manuscript then needs to become publicly visible regardless of the reviewers' decisions.

Another problem is the difficulty that editors have in finding reviewers (to work for free essentially). One solution could be to require authors to act as reviewers before they can submit their own work. For example, if a manuscript requires N favorable reviews to be accepted, then for each manuscript an author submits, they must provide N reviews of other manuscripts.

There is still something missing from the above in terms of "reviewing a review". The closest thing I can think of is comment threads where the post is the manuscript... There needs to be a way for low-quality reviews to be reported as such and invalidated. Right now all this is on the shoulders of the editor, who doesn't have time to do more than add up the recommendations of the reviewers.

As a single hop proxy, VPNs are pretty limited in terms of the OPSEC they provide. Personally I only ever use them to route traffic over hostile networks, and spoof my geolocation to access geo-blocked content. That's all they should be used for[1]

They for obvious reasons should not be used for anonymity[2] although for some this is the sole reason they use a VPN. I think, since they are a single hop proxy, that chaining VPNs together and buying subscriptions anonymously with tumbled Bitcoins/Monero is the only way you might get anonymity, but the overhead and potential for things to go wrong is massive. Things like Tor already solves many of these obstacles and provides reasonable OPSEC, providing you use it correctly.

Yes! The ability to add custom fields is missing from so many apps. Also necessary for task management / bug repos is:
* The ability to view and edit the data like a spreadsheet.
* The ability to customize your view with an SQL query.
> and that unsychrnoised concurrent access to data structures will not cause errors

Python doesn't ensure that unsynchornized concurrent access to data structures won't cause errors. As I understand and experience Python multithreading, all the GIL ensures is that of the "load - inc - store" stages running amonst N threads, each separate stage will be locked, but not the overall sequence. So you'll still have data races, even with the GIL, and you still need to use mutexes etc in your Python program, which is why they are there.
is there any reason this is trending? i've been using this site for years..
AirBnB seems to have largely avoided high-profile examples of blatant abuse, like Uber's controversies. The only case of tech company dickery-for-the-sake-of-dickery (or maybe just social insensitivity) I can think of is the bizarre passive-aggressive ad campaign after S.F. passed the tax on them:

Good luck passing the interview without thorough CS education, of which a lot is achieved through memorization and memory training. Your interviewer would never be patient enough to wait for you to figure things out in a couple of months.
I was going to say the same. Nice exercise but poor performance for broadband speeds. A more interesting offering might be the MinnowBoard Turbot. It has an Intel Atom with Intel's AES-NI acceleration instruction. Cost is around $150.
Are you kidding? Gates and Zuckerberg live in a borderless world with access to nearly anything they could ever want. They could take their personal jets to any country in the world and not go through customs. They can call up any socially connected individual on the planet and get an immediate response. They don't eat at Michelin starred restaurants every day, they have their private chef make homecooked meals tailored specifically to them. They could effectively pay to enact laws directly benefiting them. Every day that they work is a choice and is devoted to their passion.

Good on them for making it there but none of us have that level of freedom. In the end I don't care about Spotify or smartphones. I care about what I spend my life on, where I spend it, and who I spend it with. In those regards, Gates and Zuckerberg have freedom which I do not.
> Currently the US spends $598 billion per year on the military. To me, the US would be better off spending $548 billion on its military and and extra $50 billion on education

We already spend over $600 billion per year on education. What concrete goal would reallocating $50 billion from the military to education achieve? It's also a false dichotomy. If the goal is to really help people, let's cut 10% from both and cut a check for $200/month to every school-aged child.

I think this is a big contributor:

A further pillar of the Hidden Champions’ competitive strength is the unique German dual system of apprenticeship, which combines practical and theoretical training in non-academic trades. The Hidden Champions invest 50% more in vocational training than the average German company.

I think a 4 year college degree does not make sense for a lot of jobs. It just puts students with more debt, and sometimes skills that don't lead to a job.
Interesting food for thought. So what exactly do you lose in jython?
This made me find and read "Growing a language"

https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/steele.pdf

"In a race, a small language with warts will beat a well designed language because users will not wait for the right thing; they will use the language that is quick and cheap, and put up with the warts. Once a small language fills a niche, it is hard to take its place."
The obvious solution here is not to have the bytes being illegal.
Since you used the phrase "trickle down economics" as if it were a formal economic theory, I discount every thing you stated because you don't understand the phrases you are using.
"What we heard was that people didn’t want any more diversity," David Gabriel, the company’s senior vice president of sales and marketing, told an interviewer at the summit. "They didn’t want female characters out there. That’s what we heard, whether we believe that or not ... We saw the sales of any character that was diverse, any character that was new, our female characters, anything that was not a core Marvel character, people were turning their nose up against."

It's tempting to jump to the conclusion that Marvel's fans (or at least the ones voicing such opinions) are mostly on the socially conservative or reactionary part of the political spectrum. It would be interesting to hear from the fans themselves about this, expanding on what it is about diverse characters that they don't like.
Ya this is propaganda (inheritance taxes affect mainly the very wealthy, not the lower and middle classes). Germany's real secret is that labor still has voting rights within corporations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany

And actually if you look at the history of the United States, the civil rights movement depended on a strong labor sector. They don’t teach this in schools, but Martin Luther King, Jr was a threat to the establishment more for his emphasis on unifying workers than for breaking down racial barriers:

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/02/al...

The labor movements between WWII and Ronald Reagan’s election led to the US becoming the largest industrial superpower in the world, with some of the highest per capita incomes. The loss of unions and the decline of worker’s rights in the US (and accompanying stagnation of wages post-2000) coincide exactly with the loss of civil rights as we’ve moved to a more authoritarian society.

Things like the loss of habeas corpus under GW Bush and Obama just blow my mind, and I think if the electorate knew what was really going on they would not elect the people they do. But they don’t, that’s why capitalists have traditionally pushed for the privatization of public schools and funding propaganda (infotainment) to preserve the echo chamber. The more striated, divided and polarized a society is, the more wealth can be concentrated in fewer hands. Older nations like Germany have a better handle on this because they’ve seen it repeated in history so many times and are more aware of the dangers of unilateral thinking and monarchy. Inclusivity has paid off handsomely for them.

UBI is not the solution.

The fact that someone else might be in need does not give him any right to my money, or time. Forced social welfare programs ignore this. UBI does not reduce the negative imapct of these programs, but actually enforces and concretizes them and the mentality of "social debt" and "inherent social debt" (both do not exist) by declaring every citizen equally guilty.

UBI sounds nice on paper because everyone wants a cut on their taxes (and that's not bad) but it quietly pushes the agenda that you are entitled to something from everyone else just because you are alive. This will only lead to worse problems in the long run, because then very few individuals would understand that people can actually live without UBI.

The increase in taxes for the majority of the earning population would cancel out the benefits for them anyway, and might even be a negative for them.

UBI gives people something for nothing, which means that people would opt to not get a job but just stay on UBI for as long as they can. And if the government does enforce a criteria, well then, it just increases the surveillance surveillance and mandates it. And to say nothing of the illegal immigration that will increase if UBI is introduced, because UBI unconditionally sacrifices the money and time of people who produce for those who can't, and/or won't.

I just see this as a move for guys like Elon to snuggle up deeper with the government. This kind of short-range thinking is what has led to the massive debt right now and will only increase it. Who knows where this self-sacrifice will stop? People in america cry at the 1%, but being born in America already puts the majority of its citizens in the 1% of the world's population. What will happen when those people say it's unfair for so few to have so much? The people clamoring for UBI do not have a reason for it, and their reason for it is that there needs to be none. The other countries can and will do the same, and that's when people will understand their importance of not basing decisions on feelings.

Vue has electrolytes and it is gluten free. Seriously though I think Vue is the latest shiny example of everything that is wrong with the javascript community.

Javascripts huge problem is the lack of a standard library or better yet a standard way of doing anything. To fill that void alone came NPM. With a million tiny fragmented micro libraries. Then it became a common to start reinventing the wheel and selling your idea to build up your community by claiming the trivial syntax changes make it so much easier to use. I like you have no clue why people are getting so excited about rewriting their apps all the time.

I think of Vue like attempting to reinvent the calculus of react with a clever syntax and more simplified form but results in a Riemann approximation.

I think Vue is more frontend focused where react is achieving far more like react fiber. I do not doubt the power of js community to keep cloning things into forms they are more familiar with and claim a smaller payload is best metric of success.

Who would have thought so much open source collaboration would lead to so much fragmentation?

I wonder what machine learning algos will come up with when they design their own programming language, because I think programming languages are being held back by discussing what syntax makes me feel good to type out.

The article goes into thorough detail and is very well structured until the part on Bayes Inference. It is just a formula with some lines drawn on it and NO, i repeat, absolutely NO explanation beyond 'yeah, this is the part where math occurs.' Who is this article for? Judging from your intro to the fundamentals of probability it's for the extreme lay, but the core of this article has no content whatsoever.
Sigh I feel like I just wasted my time.

I can see where you're coming from when it comes to comfort with the mouse, though I don't think you should emphasize it too much if you've never experienced some kind of "never leave the keyboard" system that you're fluent in. It may or may not be faster than a mouse, but it's faaaaar more precise and for me feels very satisfying in a tactile sense.

Though in my experience, once you go all in, you start trying to get it to work on everything; in my case that means vim keybindings for everything, including web browser, and it can be a bit jarring to give it up when you use someone else's computer.
One thing not listed in the article is that German tax policy is very export-friendly.

STM in Haskell seems quite promising, but the approach of just outsourcing that problem to Redis gets you pretty far.
For as much as Americans complain about regulations, there's very little standardization in automobile driving environment (rules of the road, road paint and signage) or in the driver (uncle Joe can teach you how to drive in a few weeks, and essentially once licensed you're licensed for life as long as you pay a fee and don't become legally blind). Anyone who drives in the U.S. and either is a pilot or has driven in another industrialized country knows how non-standard automobile driving is in the U.S. This might make us fairly defensive and adaptive drivers, because our fellow drivers are so unpredictable due to non-standardization.

I think that makes the task of integrating autonomous cars a difficult task, not for the human driver, but for the computer. It has to be more adaptive and responsive with a lower error rate than the best American driver, while simultaneously sharing the exact same physical environment with non-deterministic actors.

Once we solve the pollution problem, all the HOV lanes can become autonomous car lanes. Only qualified cars use those lanes and they must be in autonomous mode. And conversely in mixed zones they can only be in some kind of hybrid mode. How insurance sorts out liability in the hybrid case will be interesting.
watching these videos just freaks me out at how bad human drivers are.
