If you're on a POSIX system, I'd argue that this is a bug in the client. Typically, the client should call getaddrinfo(3); as part of that, the application would either specify directly that it's only interested in AF_INET results, or just filter out non-AF_INET results.

(Further, if you support IPv6 in the client, and thus request such results from getaddrinfo, you should skip to the next result if the connection fails.)

On the server, you can also bind to both the IPv4 and the IPv6 addresses. If you listen to ::, you should get IPv4 connections too. (Through this[1] mechanism.)

Pytorch is awesome especially with automatic differentiation. We used to do the training in torch and then convert the trained model to caffe. The only problem is that the conversion script supports only torch 7.
I heard that at Facebook they experiment and do the training in pytorch and then they convert the model to caffe 2.
I hope they will release the conversion script.

I totally understand where you're coming from with it emphasizing quick thinking. Unfortunately, that's part of the game and it can't be taken away. Even so, I love that game, I credit it with helping to stoke my interest in patterns and logic at an early age (love you mom!). Not necessarily related but Tangrams is another (math related imo) activity, a tiling puzzle that exercises spatial thinking.

Did you read the sentence right after that where they talk about attributing factors, and do not end any of those sentences with "and thats what gives you your peronality"?

"A plausible explanation for this is that acts by women in individualistic, egalitarian countries are more likely to be attributed to their personality, rather than being attributed to ascribed gender roles within collectivist, traditional countries.[109] "

I wonder if anxiety and neuroticism reports by women are results of historically not being equal or having equal opportunities for venues for independence. I Wonder how living in collectivist traditional countries or working in environments with traditionalist roles about what females roles should be would cause a women anxiety if she didnt really fit those roles.

I wonder if its ever wondered if women are just a certain way or rather is anxiety and "neuroticism" reports are due to the world they live in.

I wonder if we could change that world.

nah...its probably just their personality...
This is still subject to a popularity distribution, although you may want that.

The Science Behind the “Google Manifesto”
Where does the misguided notion infrastructure should make a profit even come from? Everyone hates on Amtrak for not being a profitable company. When in history has infrastructure ever existed for the sake of the network operators profit? It is always for the sake of profiting those who use it - the infrastructure enables profits, but in the same way sticking profits into medicine cripples the efficiency of the system, trying to stick rent seeking into infrastructure defeats the point of using it.
I don't think I am, but I could be wrong (as always). Specifically I'm talking about yield to maturity which is one kind of return calculation (just like mean is one type of average calculation).

Total return can only be calculated after the fact once capital gains are factored in. Since this is a forward-looking calculation we can't do that. I'm using the term "yield", more specifically "yield to maturity" because I'm assuming bonds were held until maturity. In that situation yield to maturity should be the same as total return; ie, total return is equal to yield to maturity in the special case that there are no capital gains or losses and the bond is held to maturity. So in this case I'm not conflating them, they are the same thing.

Yield to maturity is based on par value, coupon rate, term, and purchase price. The yield to maturity formula is:

YTM = (C + ((F-P) / n)) / ((F+P) / 2)

Where C = coupon, F = Face/par, P = price, n = years to maturity.

Looking up historical data for Apr 2016 you get P = $137 (secondary) and C = 1.7%. Plug it all in and you get a yield to maturity / rate of return of -1.7%.
I like the way this article flips the commonplace 'What are the criteria for selecting my perfect mate?' to 'What are my motivations for getting married?'.

However, it needs to be said that if and when children arrive on the scene, everything changes. So really, in my opinion, the predominant issue is 'Do I want to have children and how do I want them to be raised?'
I asked a firefighter what she thought about controlled burns awhile back. She said that one of the advantages of controlled burns is that you can set them when conditions are favorable so that they won't get out of control and burn areas they didn't want to burn just then.

So, the "just let it burn" strategy when fires start might lead to a lot more property damage than a strategy of proactive burning.

Also, from a carbon footprint point of view, it seems advantageous to mix burning and logging, so that not all the carbon returns straight into the atmosphere.
Thanks for the link, the abstract seems relevant. I agree: a control algorithm seems like it should work. The challenge is figuring out the metrics and parameters to make something that works "well enough" for most applications, like TCP does for networks. I would really love for someone to figure that out, so we don't run into this very often.
Range helps address infrastructure by not needing as many charging stations. Since EV owners typically charge every night, that means only trips that last over 200 miles need any kind of public charging infrastructure at all.

Also, if evenly spaced over an area, you need only a quarter as many charging stations as you do with 100 mile range (besides the above effect of having to do fewer trips that require charging stations to begin with). And with a larger battery, the vehicle can accept a much higher rate of charge. That's partly why 75-100kWh Teslas can do 120kW Supercharging and 30kWh Nissan Leafs can only do 44kW DC fast charging at most.
He's essentially saying that debating people you disagree with about sensitive topics that have real world consequences is not worth the time because those people are wrong and they aren't going to be affected by the outcome one way or the other. So because he thinks the other side is wrong from the outset, and is quite certain they have no skin in the game, they aren't to be listened to. This is why people are leaving the left in droves.
Norway's best kept secret: puffin dogs (2012)
In addition to those who don't have reasonable options to move elsewhere for family and many other reasons, NYC (and Manhattan specifically) is filled with people who can't imagine living anywhere else. A lot like the Bay Area in that regard. Even those who live elsewhere (e.g. bedroom communities to the north) often have to take the subway once they reach the city by train.

All of this, by the way, is a topic that's rarely discussed when people are going "build up!" and otherwise densify cities. Without the rest of the infrastructure it's a recipe for complete gridlock.
Awesome this is exactly the sort of system I had in mind when I wrote that article, I'll take a look, thanks!
Constructive/Computable insights into variants of choice:

https://mathoverflow.net/questions/22990/choice-vs-countable...

The way mathematics is taught it's easy to think that there's only one notion of truth and logical justification. For mathematics of finite objects that can be a very compelling story. Once you let infinity in, and you will because infinity is where all the fun's at, there are a multiplicity of concepts of truth.

The axiom of choice is an incredibly powerful statement about infinite objects in a system, namely logic, which is inherently finitary[1]. Any strong statements about how infinity works is going to imply bizarre things to us finite mortals.

For example, if you assume the negation of AC then you can prove that there's a collection of nonempty sets whose cartesian product is empty. Equally bizarre!

AC and not AC are both independent of ZF, which makes sense because ZF is an axiom system for reasoning about monstrously infinite objects. Stronger infinities are harder and harder to say anything about.

In a constructive mathematical universe (yet another notion of truth that's perfectly good), as usual, you have to be careful in how you state the axiom of choice. One formulation is a theorem and another implies law of excluded middle. The latter one ought to be considered the right importation of classical AC into constructive universes [2].

[1] There are infinitary logics but they don't magically allow you to perform infinite amounts of reasoning. All physically plausible logical reasoning is inherently a finite process.

Yeah, but here it is again: "rant." You're using your voice, which we have agreed will, in however small a way, influence an important decision, not to disagree with the content of the email, but to (IMO) misrepresent the tone of the author. Again, I would request an example from the text that supports the "rant" or "toxic" descriptors.
Sure, sure, let the fires burn. It's an easy argument to make when it's not your property. What about when the fire does over $3 billion dollars in direct damages, burns 1.5 million acres and forces the evacuation of over 80K people [1]? I'm fine with tax dollars going towards trying to prevent that.

If you mean how to turn the energy in the wind into electricity in the first place (rather than transporting it to the grid) there are two basic ways:

Ground generation, where you let the kite unwind the tether and have generator connected to the spool. Occasionally you need to expend energy to wind it back up, but this can easily be made work out as a net positive.

Airborne generation, where you have small turbines with generators on the wing and lead the power down through the tether.
Nice! I was just thinking of a similar idea the other day.

Some new updates to IOTA
The US high school math curriculum relegates deductive proofs to a course in “geometry”, which typically ends up being a somewhat watered down version of Euclid, with a few extra topics tossed in at the end.

Arguably there are better subjects to use for teaching deductive reasoning, and better formalizations for teaching geometry. This particular approach has a lot of historical inertia though.
> seriously, modded down? I'd much prefer why you think I'm wrong. I've seen 300+ comment threads about "sexism in the tech workplace" more than a few times. They devolve to screaming matches and dry commentary nobody responds to.

If automation will take over certain "jobs", then whatever is needed by humans will be produced without anyone doing those "jobs" and people will have all those things without paying for it for very cheap (because if everything is automated, at some point there is nobody to pay to). What do they need this "universal basic income" for?

A few hundred years ago, most people's job was agriculture related. Then, humans discovered fossil fuels and industrial age came about taking away most agricultural jobs. Did it mean that 5% farmers became rich and everyone else needed some "basic income" to survive? Or did food become so cheap that more people started dying of obesity than that of famine?

If all our current needs will be served by automation, we will be free of these menial jobs and exchange something else for money. People are already making money by:

- Playing games live (twitch)
- Drawing a cartoon of someone which looks like a penis (https://www.fiverr.com/tampbomb/penisify-your-friends-and-en...)
- Rubbing your genitals and streaming it live (chaturbate)
- Filming yourself watching a video and uploading that (reaction videos on YouTube)

And this is just the beginning.

Besides, one can't eat money. Let's say we agree to give everyone in the world a million dollars. Does it mean that the amount of food produced and exported to South Sudan somehow magically increase? Or will money lose it's value and everything else will remain mostly as it is?

Am I missing something? Is there any literature which addresses the obvious problems and make reasonable arguments for universal basic income?
> The way it teaches you to begin with a premise and reach logical conclusions through concrete, connected steps is applicable to all fields of thought. Anyone unfamiliar with Euclid should remedy that immediately.

I majored in math and work in software. I feel comfortable with my ability to reach logical conclusions, regardless of the fact that I haven't read the Elements.

And no, proofs courses (I've taken a few) never changed the way I thought about mathematics.

I avoid a lot of liberal "popular" sites because of this BS. It's not right.

It's become a moral situation for many people. in fairness, some of the social politics are literal life and death for certain subcommunities, so that is as deeply moral a question as it gets.

I think a lot of the reason for this is there's been a strong drift into separate parties by certain communities. so there's no diverse viewpoint in each (US) party and a consensus in-party that they can present...

E.g., if you believe trans people shouldn't be able to choose a restroom, you're probably Republican or affiliated. And if you're trans, you're probably Democrat. That's kind of a big deal in terms of public health to the transperson! Very much a moral question to them!

And that should be considered in why it's so hardcore of an issue.
The comment you refer to was about how programmers getting yelled at on the mailing list of the Linux kernel and how that's not OK.

And I'm saying that no one would have faked it, even as a backup, because it would have been so easily discovered had it been tried, and with huge political downsides.

Even as a reserve, where was the budget hidden? how many people would be needed? are they the same as the real staff, or is there an entirely new cast sworn to secrecy? In the latter, if the option were used, how do you explain all of the new voices and people? In either case, how many rehearsals would be needed to be ready, just in case this backup plan was needed?

How do you convince, say, the Australian staff of the dish at Parkes that they were receiving a "real" signal ... or would they have been in on the secret at the last minute?

What do you say when the project boss asks "how do we keep the Soviets from finding out?"

What's the odds that the Soviets have no spies, agents, or sympathizers who would find out? Even if they did find out and decided to keep it secret anyway, how did that secret survive past the collapse of the Soviet Union?

There's nothing about the "also faked it" proposal which makes any sense, politically or technically.

Trump is right about this: Americans need to move where the jobs are
1. A claim about universality across human cultures.
Demonstrably false: http://s3.amazonaws.com/fieldexperiments-papers2/papers/0004...

2. A sweeping variety of claims about the personality differences of coworkers at his own company and why these differences make it okay for him to discriminate.

Debunked here: https://www.fastcompany.com/40449759/according-to-employee-p...

3. A claim that there is "a bar" which is "lowered" for diversity candidates

Rather, diverse teams are demonstrably more effective than homogeneous teams: https://hbr.org/2016/11/why-diverse-teams-are-smarter, so even if by the author's chosen metrics "the bar" is "lowered", those are not good metrics. There is no single bar, when developing a cooperative group.

4. Various claims about unconscious biases not being the reason for the gender gap
It is demonstrable that competence is evaluated with bias: https://www.theladders.com/p/22203/brunette-blonde-women-lea... (links to studies)

It is demonstrable that social factors hold women back more than men: http://www.aauw.org/research/why-so-few/

There's lots of other false claims, but I don't really want to do the digging. I've already engaged with this more than I think to be generally productive. And that's kind of the point: from a comfortable position where the author is not affected by the policies he argues, those who are must defend. For the author, it is a hypothetical. For the attacked, it is not. There is a fundamental asymmetry in any discourse here.

It's a great question - first of all, we require very, very little(usually zero) technical integration work for games that aren't heavily dependent on steam!

As far as growing our brand, we're going to use all of the typical avenues that a games company might! Twitch and Youtube influencers, physical presence at cons, and twitter/fbook/instagram.

It's taken some work to get things moving, but now that we've got great games like Evoland, Cluster Truck, Redout and tumblestone, we think we've got a virtuous cycle instead of a chicken and egg problem!

The Moon's Origin Story Is in Crisis
I'd say later than 1910, see the 1988 Yellowstone fires: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_fires_of_1988

"Before the late 1960s, fires were generally believed to be detrimental for parks and forests, and management policies were aimed at suppressing fires as quickly as possible. However, as the beneficial ecological role of fire became better understood in the decades before 1988, a policy was adopted of allowing natural fires to burn under controlled conditions, which proved highly successful in reducing the area lost annually to wildfires."

"In contrast, in 1988, Yellowstone was overdue for a large fire, and, in the exceptionally dry summer, the many smaller "controlled" fires combined. The fires burned discontinuously, leaping from one patch to another, leaving intervening areas untouched. Intense fires swept through some regions, burning everything in their paths. Tens of millions of trees and countless plants were killed by the wildfires, and some regions were left looking blackened and dead. However, more than half of the affected areas were burned by ground fires, which did less damage to hardier tree species. Not long after the fires ended, plant and tree species quickly reestablished themselves, and natural plant regeneration has been highly successful."

I visited Yellowstone a decade ago, and remember seeing the great wide swathes of equally-sized small trees growing in the aftermath of the burnt-out areas. I met a few older people who had seen the park before the fire and were sad at its present state (some even said it was "ruined", though this has to be hyperbolic, as Yellowstone is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen), but to me it was a beautiful thing to get to witness the cycle of rebirth on such a grand scale.
And continually revisit it. When you're knee deep in requirements, corner cases, and industry best practices, you can lose sight of why you were building the damn thing in the first place, and end up with something that doesn't satisfy that need.
