How could an error combinator possibly approach something like a misnamed variable? It would need access to the current scope's environment, or a version of it, to suggest what the spelling error might be. Not-yet-in-scope errors are similar, but need both past and future scopes as well.

I don't know of any parser combinator that can handle those very human mistakes, because they require partial evaluation to understand.

I might be mistaken, but if I'm not, parser combinators are great for saving time, but if you have the time to do it right, then a hand-rolled parser will give your users a much better experience.
That is really great - I never would have guessed how you did it.

> photoshop my legs and arms out

This reminds me of the first time I saw Forrest Gump. For some reason I didn't know who Gary Sinise was, and all through the movie I thought the actor playing Lt. Dan actually was a double amputee.

And in the flashback scene that showed him walking, I marveled at how they were able to fit him with artificial legs that let him walk so naturally!

I'm reading "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" by Eliezer Yudkowsky right now. Never thought I would be interested in fanfic, but this is just brilliant, give it a chance.

In epidemiological studies we refer to these variables as confoundimg variables. There's another term as well that I can't seem to remember.

When you try and correlate one specific variable, like coffee, to trends like mortality, you must control for every other variable. Socioeconomic factors like income generally cause confounding of your results.

For example, there was a recent paper that showed that women with gum disease were at higher risk for certain cancers. Is it a wide stretch to believe that people with gum disease may be of lower socioeconomic status, and also probably not take care of their diets and health anyways?

Can someone link the PDF? My login for the acp journal article the parent linked to describing the health correlations won't work for some reason. I want to see how they controlled for some of these factors.

Edit: I found the full PDF through my institution. They note that their study may contain confounds, and note possible ones that they tried to control for. The paper isn't perfect, but I applaud the authors for being as thorough as they could. That being said, this sort of article is bound to go viral as soon as possible, with many misleading headlines.
> * Electing a GOP congressman one DAY AFTER assaulting a reporter, on live tape.

To be fair, something like 30-35% of votes were cast in that election before the assault (postal, early, etc.)

(What should have happened is that he was then ejected from the party and the election re-run. But that would require honour and dignity from the GOP...)

I have recently bought a brace type hand drill and I prefer it over my cordless drill. It is great not only for drilling, I also use it to drive all types of screws since it will accept any bit the powered version would. It provides more torque than a screwdriver and is more pleasant to operate than a socket wrench.
Yes.

The idea that there are cops on safari hunting black people is a fundamentally absurd notion. When it is clear that the officer was involved in a "bad shoot", those officers are removed from duty and charged with murder/manslaughter. If you can point me to one that was not, I'd be very interested to learn more. However, it is often difficult to determine a bad shoot from a "good" one, which is the primary issue.

Cops disproportionately target black Americans because black Americans commit a disproportionate percentage of the crime in America. And you don't need to stop at the overall crime rate, you can look at how black Americans kill a disproportionate number of cops.

There were 511 officers killed in felonious incidents and 540 offenders from 2004 to 2013, according to FBI reports. Among the total offenders, 52 percent were white, and 43 percent were black.[1]

And according to the 2010 US Census [2], the racial split in the US was:

White: 72.4%
Black: 12.6%

I think the numbers speak for themselves. Do these numbers justify cops killing unarmed civilians that pose no threat? OF COURSE NOT. But that is almost never the case. Remember, cops are not the military (they are not tried in internal military tribunals), and they do not have immunity. At the end of the day, it is up to the DA to bring charges against a police officer, and the DA will usually not bring said charges if that DA does not think he/she can prove in a court of law that it was a bad shoot. So yes, there are racist cops. But that should only be a crisis if you believe the US' entire justice system to be racist against black people.

Economic Macro Note for This Morning
> similar to other protests in USA where you usually notify local governments about the land you are on and have to ask for approval in some manner. If protests are approved, then they can be held which is what happens in China

EDIT: Yeah, my apologies, you're probably not a bot, I'm being paranoid. That said, your argument might as well come from one if you're trying to suggest that the way China handles protests is approximately equivalent to the US.

PRIOR: You're a China bot. Anonymous, newish account, comment history is a mix of tech industry opinion (as cover) mixed with "America is just like China" soft-propaganda on topics like Tibet and public protest.

And China doesn't approve protest requests. But you know this.
Sure, that quote with no context is reduced to meaningless platitude. The context is that no matter what a leader, the person responsible for making decisions and owning them owns it all and never puts blame on a subordinate for failure. If something goes wrong, the buck stops with the leader. When a team can rely on it's leadership to take responsibility for failure and to share the success broadly and generously amazing things can happen. It really is not so different in philosophy from Adam Grant and his whole take on givers and takers. Takers are basically selfish and focus on themselves. Givers give freely to others and seem much more likely to be good leaders willing to take responsibility and negative consequences onto themselves to spare their team, but also to understand a failure and improve. It also allows teams to share success and is in my book a "proven" leadership style that yields results in the real world.

Edit: Also -- it is a fair practice to be skeptical of any group that gets beatified in the media and by military PR wonks. But I have read his book and listened to his words and directly applied his general principles to my day to day life and it has helped me personally. It did not change my political views or dislike of military culture one bit.
>We're also modeling the whole thing in 3D ...

Can you elaborate on the process for this? I'm curious what software you're using, how many modelers you have, and if you're using 3D scanning equipment.

Modeling everything by hand has to be unimaginably laborious.

Regarding your point about economic value. Things don't have any in inherent economic value. Price is a function of demand and supply. A thing is only worth something because somebody wants to do something with it.

So, a theorem which says decentralised scheme "costs" more than economic value is not possible to have.

For example, say gold is very expensive to synthesise. But if it is absolutely necessary for some job the cost becomes worth i9t and the price would reflect that.

Maybe you should change your attitude and think that this is an insult.

If you don't have experience, you need to find a way to prove that you hold the skill that you do. You'll be competing against other candidates, try to figure out how their CVs look like and try to be like them. Complaining won't solve anything.

> moderates who dislike Trump from the start can fairly blame left-wing shenanigans, at least partly, for the rise of Trump

What? The rise of Trump was entirely down to the GOP - for years - stoking both racial and anti-liberal resentment with only one goal - to dismantle anything Obama touched.
You're ready right now. If you keep waiting for the right time to come or the perfect conditions to fall into place you'll quite likely never start but keep asking yourself that question.

So, start by talking to potential clients and try selling your services. At the very least this will provide you with invaluable information as to which skills you might need to improve or acquire.
Do black cops that kill black people not think that black lives matter?

And the reasonable response to that is to loot and destroy a black neighbourhood by its very inhabitants (among others)? It really seems quite ridiculous from here at least.

(And no, the fact that black people are over-represented in cop shoot-outs does not prove that cops have something against black people.)
Running a mixture of OSes comes with its own costs too. Having every machine running the same OS (and ideally the same version) can make a lot of things much easier, e.g. no more prod/stag-only bugs that aren't reproducible on dev machines.

There is no left in US politics, there’s just hard right and centre right.

Seeing as there seems to be some disagreement to this post, let me back it up with recent US election pages from politicalcompass.org:

There are a few choices for very minor candidates (Bernie Sanders notwithstanding) but very little mainstream choice that’s not wedged over to the right hand side.
> Is it people who support Nazis who downvote this

There are certainly a lot of people on here who are very keen to point out that the Nazis aren't that bad because [bullshit reasons], yes.
That's not the same thing as single payer. And, like Henry Ford said, if he asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.
It really depends on the use case I think
I'm sure the online Master's program at Georgia Tech is strong and it's certainly priced much better than an average MS in CS [1], but I think this is an apples-oranges comparison because the audiences are so different. As you mentioned, you have an engineering degree already. The overlap between people who are considering a dev bootcamp program and people that are also considering and are eligible for a Master's in CS must be a very small (or nonexistent) pool.

[1]: It's worth mentioning that one can effectively do a MS in CS at a research school for "free" with a graduate research assistant position that includes a tuition waiver. Some of these are competitive but again the pool of qualified Master's in CS candidates is relatively small to begin with.

Maybe, just a suggestion, also monitor the list of urls you provide. So many are no longer existing... Maybe if you want to provide this service, try to keep a certain quality.

That includes not listing things willy nilly because YOU think there is proper reason. At some point there will be a party that will call your efforts, in case you keep listing things without proof/reason, defamation or libel...
As an aside ... I find it curious how common the phrase, "Chinese equivalent of Twitter" is. I know the brand is probably not well known in the US, but is it that much of a stretch to imagine people would connect the dots if they say something like, "social media site, Weibo"?

> Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists terrorized a town

They had a permit to hold that meeting. They could've showed off their bigotry peacefully, but police pushed them where Antifa counter-protested so both sides started to shout at each other which turned into a fight. It happened that way in Berkeley. Now it happened in Charlottetown. And it's going to happen again unless police starts doing it's job and protect people from themselves and prevent those clashes.

> killed a women.

When a muslim plows into a crowd it's a lone wolf and we should jump to conclusions. But now that it was a white guy the second it happened the media reached the consensus that it was an act of terrorism. This kind of double standard is what fuels white supremacists.

> And our morally depraved president couldn't bring himself to put a name to evil.

He specifically named KKK, Nazis and white supremacists. But you wouldn't hear about that thanks to your echo bubble.
And that's why the "Why won't people just TALK to the Nazis?" nonsense is nonsense.
It was not caused by a bug in Ragel, though.
but leadership doesn't demand obedience, it earns it. A good leader sets an example that others want to follow, they don't shout orders at people with no justification for following them. In fact, one of the traits mentioned in the article is that an effective leader tells their people why they are doing what they are doing, which is much more humanistic than the """leadership""" expressed in most large organisations (which is really just superficial authority, rather than leadership).

> You have to organize, but there is nothing there that cannot spring from strength and cooperation

Ritual itself can be very satisfying. I've taken apart also in Ethiopian coffee making, which is an awesome process.

On the internet these days take it as a badge of honor honestly.

You hear people chant speak truth to power when they repeat the safe narrative and everyone pats their back.

The fact that the media, large corporate business leaders, online forums, and government representatives are dog piling all over this narrative and ignoring even basic facts and events that happened in very recent memory, it should shock anyone paying attention to what is currently going on.

It's called censorship to blatantly disregard and shout down any opinion or factual information that works against the popularly driven editorial narrative, which is now apparently that Trump and his supporters are extremist violent Neo nazi kkk communist Russian spies, and I'm not even joking when I put that list together.
Not sure I see the difference.

It's not a conspiracy. You can have emergent bias as much as planned bias. That's basically the position of various HR departments who offer unconscious bias training.

At any rate, every study I've seen has confirmed that most media orgs at least lean left. Have you seen any that disagree?
Sadly, you have either say outlandish things or buy airtime.

He’s not a Nazi because he’s not a member of the National Socialist party, but is he a fascist?

Big data: they nailed it! Every single application of 'big data' i ever saw was hype-driven, and much easier solved by boring, traditional things that were there in K&R era already: hash maps, Berkeley DB, and memory-mapped files. Sometimes taking 100x less resources, like literally doing on a single computer what took a huge Hadoop cluster.

Maybe on a Google scale of data, that doesn't work as easily. Maybe when you have a billion dollar infrastructure bill, big data works better. But it leaves out 99% of companies who's data isn't that big.
Not everyone needs copy on write and checksumming, it doesn't make sense to waste CPU cycles on checksums when the use case doesn't require it.

ext4 is a perfectly fine filesystem for most desktop users and a wide range of servers simply by not being ZFS.

If you need CoW and checksumming, there is btrfs too, which is natively supported on Linux and IMO fine if you're only on a single disk or use md or LVM for RAID.

It's quite amusing tbh when people think that a filesystem needs to do everything.
