As I read it, you missed the point. Here's my reading: Are the digital devices just current rationalization for connective breaks that happen in family settings? Yes, some families have trouble connecting. No one is arguing that. But would they have trouble connecting even without the presence of these devices?

My opinion is that disconnects are typically about joint values, interests, and expectations. Or, more appropriately, lack thereof. Yes, there's the possibility that the parents don't understand digital devices and therefore are limited in joining the party. But, again my opinion, if it wasn't digital devices, it would be some other thing that was new or foreign to the parents. And so perhaps the real failure is the willingness of the parents to engage at the children's level. It also might represent a lack of shared values and expectations in connecting in the first place.
Thanks much for the posts. Skiena looks fantastic.

Sounds like a great course. I love hearing about learning techniques like chunking and seeing how I can utilize them to better learn.
From Wikipedia:

"Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes."

I'm guessing a common error is to think a child can't have movement difficulties and that OT is solely about workplace issues.

This page, http://www.wellesleyot.com/, gives a short synopsis of the types of assistance given to children by an OT; along with specific conditions that may increase the need for such help.
I took the course as well and wrote a post about applying the lessons learned as a developer: https://medium.com/learn-love-code/learnings-from-learning-h...

Feedback welcome! Would love to learn what other techniques devs use to learn and level up

I think it has more to do with the fact that they are finally starting to allow their researchers to publish.

The Box is a _great_ book. Easily one of the best books I've read in the past 10 years. The history and analysis was fascinating, and remains surprisingly memorable and relevant even 5 years after reading the book.

In the past 20 or so years a literary genre has emerged that uses esoteric subjects as a narrative device for exploring broader social topics. The Box doesn't fit neatly into that genre because, AFAIU, the historical material is novel, rather than recapitulating a standard theory or, on the other hand, reframing beliefs with a contradictory or counter-intuitive narrative. The book remains earnestly focused on the history of container shipping, albeit at a more macro scale. The broader relevance just naturally follows from the keen, objective description of that history.

> The argument that people always throw at me is that too hard for people to know two languages, well, for frontend devs to know two languages.

This is ridiculous from the point of view any professional developer. I know that this is your point, and I'm just amplifying it. I (and many other professionals I work with) know - and use on a daily basis - so many more than 1 language that it's sincerely baffling to grok a world that promotes "One language fits all". That's without even considering the parlous state of npm and its libraries.

Except, Waymo's is still in the R&D stage where this stuff is being worked out. The bag issue is exactly the kind of thing that will be fixed before production because it's in their training data. It's really the 'unknown unknowns' that will be the problem and they are going to be really odd.

As to the ball case, it does not need to stop just slow if it's possible for a kid to run out fast enough to be a problem. aka on residential streets when it should not be going fast in the first place not a highway where there are no major obstructions. So again, what your describing is in the 'to be dealt with' pile.

I don't mean it's working right now, just they are going to hold off on mass production until it's working.
> What are you measuring? The current autopilot already appears to be materially safer, in certain circumstances, than human drivers

That's a good question. Clearly, existing self-driving tech is safer than human drivers on average. However, "average" human driving includes texting while driving, drunk driving, falling asleep at the wheel, etc. Is the appropriate comparison the "average" driver, or a driver who is alert and paying attention?
Yeah I'd love to test it out. Just sent my email address to the splash page.
I'd disagree here too. Trains and planes have extremely catastrophic failure modes, while cars do not. Cars have the added benefit of being able to quickly come to a stop in most situations.

An even bigger driving factor (pun intended) will be that the cost of a driver relative to operation is much, much higher in a car. A solution that is better on both safety and cost will be quickly adopted.

Electric power assisted steering. Few cars on the road currently are correctly termed steer-by-wire. Actually, only the properly-optioned Infiniti Q50 comes to mind.
There was discussion I read on HN today, where people compared European cities where average developer can earn 100-300k per year.

In region like Slovakia you can get highly senior people (with decade of experience writing world class software for blue chip companies with hq in US tech hubs) for 30 or maybe 40k a year, which is considered sky high salary. Juniors might make 10, maybe 15k.

Just few hundred of kms, within same EU can make huge difference.
Quite possibly, but they never tried to prevent him from flying, so that's irrelevant here.
I'm surprised you're able to get Turing to run faster, to be honest. I looked at Turing and was impressed by it, but in general my experience with MCMC libraries in Julia is similar to what the OP posted, being much slower than Stan (MAMBA and Turing being the two Julia libraries I've tried--both have seemed nice but have run significantly slower on the tasks I've used them for).

Incidentally, I haven't been able to get Turing to run on Julia 0.6, and am not going to reinstall an earlier version just for Turing. I've been waiting for a little while now.

My experience with Turing and MAMBA have kind of diminished my enthusiasm for Julia. Both libraries kind of represent what I was looking for in Julia (similar to what you mention about using your Julia stack), but the speed was a kind of a rude awakening. I'm kind of coming to the opinion that LLVM-based languages need to demonstrate much more consistent performance before they're really ready to replace C (Rust, Nim, and Crystal seem like they might be on their way, though).

I recommend someone thinking about Julia pay attention to these benchmarks:

https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

Yes, Julia is really fast with some things, but for other things it's much slower, and those slow parts become the lowest common denominator.

Hopefully things improve, though, because I do like Turing and MAMBA on paper.
I am just pointing out that you do not need to go "find a buyer yourself" like op suggested. I agree there is a lot to be suspicious about with new coins/tokens.
I like things like this not because they make the underlying tooling more opaque/encapsulated, but because they expose that tooling to network-API-based management, through tools like AWS's CloudFormation et al.

To be able to set up firewall rules for my app in concert with installing the app—and to roll out changes to those rules as part of rolling app updates—my cloud orchestration system has to be told that a given box "is" a firewall, or discover that fact through SNMP or WSDL probing. If it has that capability, then it may as well let me assign properties to the "box-as-firewall" object in its convergence model, rather than the "box-as-box" object—and then, given that it's not doing anything other than being a firewall, maybe let me leave the "box-as-box" object unspecified and have it created automatically by requirement of the "box-as-firewall" spec.

Now we're back to the "opaque appliance" abstraction (at least by default), without ever having chosen to design things that way.
> Is the appropriate comparison the "average" driver, or a driver who is alert and paying attention?

The most appropriate comparison set would be the drivers who will replace themselves with autopilot-steered vehicles.
I think their audience (i.e. style) are new college students.

It gets worse, if your Tesla is following a car in front of you, and they switch lanes, but you can’t switch lanes because another car is coming from behind in that lane, the Autopilot will switch nonetheless.

This almost killed a tester from the German federal motor vehicle approval agency. Their overall report is devastating, and shows the Tesla autopilot is little more than a glorified cruise control, marketed in a very deceptive way.
> Why aren't all of them? These weird little "small gestures" make me feel like people have lost control of their homes.

Fairly judgemental on how people should live their lives no?
That's a very interesting point, thank you for the explanation!

I beg to differ. I've got Comcast in the PNW, and their IPv6 stack on Business class is atrocious. A short list of the issues I've had/am currently experiencing:

- Account is registered for a /56, their router only responds to requests for a /59

- Once my CPE is configured for that /59, routing from anything smaller than that /59 is just dropped on the ground (no delegation to/from /64s, etc, is allowed)

- significant investigation later, the root cause is because I also have a /29 static v4 block on my router. Removing the v4 block from the Comcast end, everything works great (as a /59). As soon as the Comcast equipment receives the static v4 config, v6 delegation grinds to a halt

- Comcast Business Support is WOEFULLY under-trained on v6. Talking about v6 netblocks gets me strange stares and "But I see your /29 on the account, is that what you're talking about?"

- Comcast line-managers have told me on multiple occasions, "Oh, if static-v4/v6 doesn't work, then it's just not supported. Sorry, just take your business elsewhere if static is important to you"

That is not the paper. It appears to be a summary.
Eastsiders are always trying to pretend they live in Seattle.

Don't flatter yourself, Eastsiders "pretend" out of convenience to those that don't obsess about Washington geography. I say "Seattle" because I don't expect someone from Iowa to have any clue where Redmond is. Just like I'd tell people "Charlotte, NC" when I really lived in Gastonia; nobody knows where the hell Gastonia, NC is, and being 20 miles away, "Charlotte" is close enough. I otherwise am quite content to have nothing to do with the city of Seattle proper, nor pretend that I am a resident.
In addition to other responses, I'd like to point out that it also reinforces shared values and expectations of connectivity and communication between family members.
Yeah, this is 100% false.
I've owned a Tesla for over a year.
I take several curves on a daily basis with the speed set to around 82 mph. Going into the curve, the car slows down to about 65 mph, which is the speed every other car on the road takes that curve. It's even stated in the AP documentation and release notes. Go ask other Tesla owners as well. I've never heard of a Tesla being "swung" out of a lane on a curve.

Tesla uses a combination of the visual lanes, cars in front, and an accelerometer, to determine the curve and how much it needs to slow down.

Other than a freak situation last year (not on a curve, it was the hill crest with the white truck crossing the highway), every SINGLE accident has been shown to be the drivers fault with autopilot disengaged. Not a single accident of what you described has happened.

"Collective litigation — when meritorious — usually results in settlement negotiations (or bargaining), a “collective” settlement agreement, an improvement in working conditions, and a reduction of industrial strife"

"Meaningless and endless" would be how I would've described cable TV ~20 years ago, ~10 years ago, ~5 years ago, and today. Go back further than that and it's just, "meaningless" because it wasn't as "endless" back then.

Youtube at least has some interesting/useful content and lets the creator and the viewer engage each other in various ways.

When I was 10 I watched hours upon hours of television and played NES games until I ran out of content. Now my 10 year old son gets about 2-4 hours of personal screen time each day (depending on the day) and in that time he plays loads of games, watches loads of game-specific videos, and a fair share of pointless videos (e.g. "top ten ugliest dogs", "most satisfying video", etc). Contrast, "top ten ugliest dogs" with say, 1990s Transformers cartoons and you'll probably come back realizing the the ugliest dog video is both more interesting and entertaining.
That's odd, one of the reasons I love hot pot is that it's really hard to have your phone out, since cooking the meat/fish requires focus and at least one hand.
I also took the course, and I more or less agree with your assessment. However as someone who went to school a pretty long time ago and frankly never really learned how to study it was helpful. It reminded of one of those books you read where the author doesn't really say anything you didn't know, but puts the pieces together in a way you had not really thought about it. So I found it pretty worthwhile and I think if you are spending a lot of time trying to learn new things (i.e. foreign language, online courses, self study) it can be worthwhile, even if you are familiar with most of the techniques.
Yes, a "career in tech" and a tech-lifestyle are different things and you can keep them separated. Based on the article and your comment it seems they have more of a problem with the latter.
You seem to be assuming that the function of the multi-person dinner is always to engage each other. Have you considered that, for some couples at least, it's simply not the case, and there are other times when they talk?

Personally, I would rarely bother with anything other than random social chit chat in a place as public as a restaurant. More involved conversations take place somewhere else more private. But why would I do random social chit chat with my spouse? It's the kind of stuff reserved for strangers and casual acquaintances.
As to your first point I don't disagree, but are you saying taking steps to organize boycotts is trying to wish away something?

I was thinking organizing boycotts would have been an affirmative step towards turning wishes into action. Therefore, could you explain how organizing boycotts to address (at least) bad corporate actors behavior would be rewarding bad behavior? Is that a any press is good press argument or am I missing something else?
What does 'inexpensive' mean to you? I am otherwise-supremely-happy with my commercial pfSense router, if Comcast gets their v6 poop in order I'm sure I would be even more ecstatic with it.
Indexed loops are just a bad problem waiting to happen. They introduce arithmetic bugs, are the least efficient way to traverse most any data structure but a sequential memory segment, maximize the opportunity for error, and are often harder for compile-time optimizers to work through (since it's harder to prove what they do in situ).

Abstracting away your iteration is important.
