As a math student with lots of physics friends. Physics and math are very different.

One way to explain this might be that physics isn't about doing math, but using math to do computations. Meanwhile, math is about abstract ideas and rigorous proofs. Physics doesn't care about wondering if an integral is a well-defined concept, nor does it care about the real numbers being uncountable. Similarly, maths looks at the formulae in physics and thinks those things are way to complicated.

Our lin-alg course is joined physics and maths. The older physicists complain about all the proofs needed there. Mathematicians lament the lack of rigor in the same course.

There is no such thing as a single "intelligence". "IQ" is measuring at least three different forms of cognitive ability, is an inherently flawed and culturally biased tool and may be illegal to administer unless you can prove it's relevant to the work.

Additionally, what matters is not natural talent but the set of skills and techniques an individual has built up using those talents, compensating for their weaknesses and taking advantage of their strengths. I've met plenty of very, very smart people who flounder the first time they encounter a code base they can't hold entirely in their head at once: someone who was less "smart", with a smaller working memory, but who has been developing skill with abstraction and system metaphors since CS 101 is often a better actual developer.

The myth that developers need to be "smart" is pernicious, and the cause of most of the really horrific code bases in this industry.
Good inspiring story
Sorry to see this happen. They were nice folks. But the big guns got AR religion and just pulled away with more money, installed base, etc.
If you want to have the reverse map, you can trivially build it yourself. But if the reverse map did exist (rather, if the map started off as bidirectional, which is the only option on the table), it'd be impossible to properly construct the one-way map.
Bingo! Some one with big enough balls to say the actually and undesirable reality of homelessness on the streets. The richer the city the greater the homelessness, because the homeless like every animal in the world (us included) goes where life is the easiest. And rich cities, have richer populations that then donate more money to homeless people.

In my hometown there are people that quite there jobs to panhandle, because they make more money doing it. It's not common, but it happens and it shows that it's not a simple issue.

FYI mental illness is also common in the homeless population and for them I'm very much in favor of looking at any solution that'll help them have the success they desire in their lives. *Just saying.

You know, I had a sad thought about fusion-powered CO_2 and that was once it will be built, the energy is likely to be used not for CO_2 scrubbing but instead to mine Bitcoin.
Japanese internment during WWII is laughably incomparable to the damage inflicted upon African Americans over the last few hundred years or so. I think the OP meant age-range, or at least that was how I initially interpreted. Though I'm not sure that's true either. Even if OP meant something different, there are waves of Cubans, Chinese, Hmong, and many others. Who knows?
Maybe! You never know who you're going to inspire. :-)

I don't know, but I would be surprised if Scala.js does anything in that regard. It's a Scala-to-JS compiler, its job is to translate Scala code to JS code.

Scala.js lets you require any npm modules, so you can `require()` any JS polyfills you want just like you would do if writing JS code by yourself.
Been using Firefox mobile for a while now with uBlock Origin... Creating rules to hide annoying elements on sites that I use a lot.

Most times when I try to browse pages on a family members phone I want to throw it... Guess I really don't know how bad things are most of the time.

1) Those aren't regulations, those are statutes. It is disturbing that you are attempting to advise people on this subject but do not know the difference. Statutes are written by Congress, regulations are written by the Treasury Department to implement or clarify statutes.

Cornell is not an authoritative source but it's easier to read than the GPO website. If you want final authoritative sources, you'll need to read the House and Senate resolutions and to track down a physical copy of the appropriate issue of the Federal Register.
I guess I respect having the intestinal fortitude to do the responsible thing, but at least in the U.S., seeing any service position with obvious privilege connotations makes people uncomfortable. The meal-in-a-box industry is another clever way to work around this taboo, by hiding the lower-class service workers behind a clean user interface.

Similarly, what's the value-add of Github? Primarily, it's not having to talk on the phone to some guy with a thick foreign accent with kitchen noise in the background. Dealing with a website, even if it's slow sometimes, is a much less socially complicated experience.
That kind of behavior is particularly annoying because their vegan mayo is apparently really good. There's this terrible Silicon Valley disease where you can never just have a small profitable company with a great semi-niche product, it has to be huge and it has to get there by any means necessary.

"Learning to code" is somewhat vague.

The "Sorites paradox" is something like: how many grains of sand form a heap? if you remove or add one, is it still a heap?

So, exactly what exactly makes you a programmer? that varies a lot depending on who you ask. Someone said a programmer should be able to detect and report a bug to a hardware manufacturer. Some others say that "learning" (partially, because most programmers don't know every single aspect of a programming language) a general purpose or Turing-complete language makes you a programmer.

I define an "X programmer" where X is backend, frontend, data, whatever... as someone who can not only implement a feature, but do it through understanding rather than through a heuristic of trial and error or reusing code. Also, a person that is able to troubleshoot what is going on if some of the underlying systems is not working as expected.
That's exactly the reason. Microsoft were dominant, Apple wasn't.
Ask HN: What do you use to track application knowledge?
When developing applications, there are always artifacts involved: requirements docs, contact sheets, the code itself, diagrams, charts, etc. How do your projects keep these artifacts organized? File shares? Sharepoint? SCM?
Excellent point.

Conversation would be so much more lively if the general population knew the basic results and definitions of maths. :p

I'd wax poetic about most reals being uncomputable, but good luck explaining cantor's diagonal theorem, measure theory, why we need measure theory, what a real number is, why we need real numbers, how sqrt(2) isn't rational, how numbers can be transcendental, what a limit is.

There is so much background needed for maths. People feel like they don't have the talent to get it, whereas really it's a matter of putting in the time to get comfortable with the basics.
It works!!! Thank you for creating this resource. I'm on the hunt for research around this topic, especially on the various manifestations of Oberon.
Some ML applications will replicate expert behavior (e.g. document discovery in law) or improve on it (quant trading). A lot of the gains will be at the other end of the skill spectrum though.

Universal human abilities like speech and face recognition have made some low-skill jobs harder to automate than expert ones. We've only just invented algorithms that solve those problems adequately. If your vertical ML application is a machine that picks fruit when it's ripe, it's a stretch to call it an expert system.
That's the distinction of coding vs CS.

Building CRUD apps using existing frameworks is coding.

Building said frameworks and the rest of the software that powers those CRUD apps takes more.

I don't mean to rag on simple projects or coding either. It's just as noble as any other profession. But to say that a random Rails or Node developer could write something like Postgres is laughable.

It's not the degree that makes that possible either. There's plenty of idiots who've graduated. It's the difference between studying how to do something and studying abstract concepts. People who have done CS degrees are more likely to have been exposed to the latter.

If your company is looking to see if R&D credits are available, consult with an established major accounting firm or R&D-specialist firm. (But not cde-v's firm.) Most firms that do R&D work will charge a percentage of the R&D credit recovered rather than an out-of-pocket fee, so you generally won't have any financial outlay if your business doesn't qualify.

Generally speaking, any US-based systemic research- or experimentation-based process that results in the development of new or improved (cheaper, better, etc.) business components (broadly meaning goods, services, processes) can qualify for the R&D credit.
Consider the idea that maybe you are wrong; read the book I'm recommending (which is short and thoroughly cited) and I will read The Mismeasure of Man a third time, which may be one of the most dishonest books ever written.

It is the case that social science post 1950s largely failed to address the idea that cognitive ability is heritable (and the heritability of most mental traits). I agree, the situation is absurd and embarrassing for these fields. But this is what happened.

I would like to say again, please do read the book. There were times when I was outraged by a position, to the point where I insult a person who is writing in good faith (as you have just done); this is usually a sign that I am reasoning backwards and am defending a position out of emotional attachment rather than trying to understand what is true. I would suggest this may be happening to you now.

One thing to keep in mind is just because something is true doesn't make it good. You can preserve your moral outrage even as your descriptive beliefs change.
Same with stir-fry. A lot of "simpler" cooking methods can be adapted as ways to recycle leftover ingredients.

For the record: Re-confirmed that Google Scholar's "support" page is useless. It simply replies with an email indicating that while you can go ahead and complain, they're not going to bother to do anything to fix their algorithm no matter how wrong-headed it is, so tough luck for you and the rest of the unsuspecting, misinformed, current and future universe. Same result as from the previous 3 tries to correct the record. And same as with recent attempts to contact them via email and even USPS snail-mail.

They don't even seem bothered that this in turn leads to Google's own data-miners publishing false results based on Google Scholar's error-filled data; Sean Henderson and Anurag Acharya both have their names on the erroneous blog entry, and still it remains uncorrected. One might think that they would't want their names associated with false information, and messing up the true historical record.

Anyway, congratulations on being presented with ACM SIGACT's 2017 Gödel Prize "for the invention of Differential Privacy" in the "Calibrating Noise to Sensitivity in Private Data Analysis" paper at last week's ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC). Too bad Google Scholar seems intent on hiding it. Maybe all the search-terms I've semi-awkwardly included here will help future (re)searchers find it, as well as Dwork's "Differential Privacy" ICALP 2006.
Thanks! I find Bootstrap to be one of the shining examples of great UX in open source projects. Their UI, documentation and overall experience is probably in the top 1% of all projects. I am looking for projects like Audacity and Calibre that really need a bit of UX work done.

Freshly made sandwiches? Don't supermarkets sell those?

The UK has shops like Pret A Manger where the selling point is that all the sandwiches are made fresh in the shop every day.

We also have Subway franchises who tweak your sandwich ingredients.

Or independent sandwich shops who do the same thing.

But the cheapest sandwiches are ready made in Tesco or Sainsburys or Coop or Boots or Waitrose or WH Smith's or Marks and Spencer or whatever.

I guess the public transport in UK cities makes distribution easier because you can pick up a sandwich at the station on you way to work.
That is the big question, isn't it.

It depends on so many things it's hard to define specific things, as each combination is distinct. It's like striking up and holding a conversation. How do you do that? That is what you are doing with the community.

Find out what they like
Find out what they need.

Reminds me of one of my favorite short stories:

I’ve been homeless for six years now. If there’s such a thing as an effective homeless man, then I suppose I’m effective. Being homeless is probably the only thing I’ve ever been good at. I know where to get the best free food. I’ve made friends with restaurant and convenience-store managers who let me use their bathrooms. And I don’t mean the public bathrooms, either. I mean the employees’ bathrooms, the clean ones hidden behind the kitchen or the pantry or the cooler. I know it sounds strange to be proud of this, but it means a lot to me, being trustworthy enough to piss in somebody else’s clean bathroom. Maybe you don’t understand the value of a clean bathroom, but I do.

Ask HN: How do companies like Telegram exist anonymously?
It is known that Pavel Durov is the creator of Telegram. But Telegram itself doesn't seem to have a real address (except some shady proxy address). It all looks like some elaborate shell company construct.

How is it possible that they submit their apps to the stores and also operate Autonomous Systems for their servers? Isn't this very cumbersome?
How in the hell did they blow through three hundred million dollars in one year on this? According to figures they have to provide the Federal government for assistance this is for a population of approximately 7500. Seven thousand five hundred.

Utah took a decade but slashed their numbers by making sure the homeless had an apartment and phone. For the amount of money SF is spending they could buy them homes. The real crime here is the wasteful spending. They are burning close to 40k per person. People harp about wasteful spending on incarceration need to start looking here.

So how is that for even a third of this they cannot house the thousand that still need a bed each night? That number should have been taken care of in the first few months. Sorry for the hyperbole but if we want an example of a government needing a expose on waste and bureaucracy this is an ideal candidate.

Hard numbers as provided by the city.[1].

7,499: 2017 total homeless population

5,518: 2017 single homeless adults
5,342: 2015 single homeless adults

1,363: 2017 unaccompanied homeless youth

Not any more than any other means of assessment on which outcomes differ on a protected axis of discrimination like race; yes, the rule was first articulated in a case involving a fairly blatant use of IQ tests to effect racial discrimination, but it is by no means restricted to IQ tests.

It is, although it isn't really a 'kill switch' in the sense it can't be deployed universally, but per system it works. This could be considered temporary though, as is turning off your computer if infected and NOT turning it back on. The encryption only takes effect after a restart.

AHK has been working great for me over the years. My addresses, snippets of emails, expansions are all stored in an ahk file. I use various email addresses for different sites; so a@a would become aj(at)ajonit(dot)com or a@l would become admin(at)learnqtp(dot)com. The possibilities are endless.

Millions of homeless people in hundreds of other cities around the world suffer from the exact same conditions you've described. Yet nowhere but the Bay Area have I seen those conditions caused those people to behave the way they do in SF. The city has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on safe injection sites, needle disposals, and public restrooms, and yet still must continue to spend money to pay city employees to clean up needles and human waste from the streets and transit stations.

Homelessness is a massive problem in SF, but the attitude that they behave this way "because of the situation they're in" is untrue and counterproductive.
Is the reddit app even an a real app? It feels like they just packaged their equally awful mobile site. It's really amazing that they can mess things up so badly when there are multiple apps that already do the same thing much better.
A homeless woman spit on me in SOMA a few months ago for no apparent reason. Just walked up to me squawking like a bird and spit on me. Probably was on something.

My immediate reaction was to jump out of my chair and aggressively move towards her - I'm actually not sure what I would've done next because it all happened so quickly. Probably shoved her? That seems like a legitimate response to someone walking up and spitting on you. Thankfully I was with a few friends and they restrained me before I could do anything and the woman ran away unscathed.

The entire experience left me so confused. I am legitimately concerned that if I had shoved her I would've been considered the 'bad guy' here be the absurd SF hyper liberals and could've ended up in jail been fired if my employer found out.

What are you supposed to do in this situation? There needs to be some sort of disincentive to this behavior but it seems like the way things are in SF it's actually socially acceptable behavior.
Agreed. Prose is a decent start, but could use some updating.
