Your last paragraph just made my point for me.

Once you get out of toy frameworks that won't scale, refactor or "age well" - you end up with a JEE style framework.

It's like that famous cliche about unix - "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly."

You are right about older versions of JEE being a pain in the ass to use - but that critique hasn't been valid since 2004 when EJB 3.0 was released - 13 years ago. JSF is really slick for front end development.

But even prior to the release of EJB 3, can you name any EJB equivalent (from the pain in the ass xml era) that is still used, supported and actively developed?

We literally still have 15 year old EJB's - that "just work". People just inject them into the new EJB's they write and they work!

You might think rewriting services to keep up with the latest and greatest fad is a productive use of your developers time - but I prefer to have my developers focus on solving new - revenue generating problems, with building blocks that have already been written instead of constantly reinventing the wheel.

We have a mix of American developers (junior, mid-level and senior), offshore developers in 6 countries, and H1-B developers - all of whom are paid at or above market rate for their work (150K+ for the State side workers). I don't think any one of them considers themselves "disadvantaged" in any way because of the technology stack.

They understand that they have problems to solve and JEE are a tool to solve their problems and I am sure they grateful we aren't making them re-write 15 year old code to keep up with the latest fad.
Not my experience.

Vagrant encounter 1: it would always exit immediately after barfing some garbage that messed up the line discipline. It wouldn't even print help menus. Reinstalling, 32 vs 64 bit, slightly different binary versions etc didn't seem to affect this behavior.

Vagrant encounter 2: on a nearly virgin Windows box, "vagrant up" on a bog standard centos image stalled out for an entire work day. No stdout, no stderr, no logs, no exit status, it just sat there.

On a scale of 0 to 'flake', it's at full flake.
Curious if anyone's done any work to determine if changing the P-value threshold for e.g. Psychology studies (as they call out Psychology in particular) measurably affected replicability with p > 0.005?
Thats a pretty awesome list!. I'd love for these to be the reasons but somehow I doubt any of us are that thorough.

The only reason I used python is that it was the first result that showed up in a Google search "write program to scrape web page" (ah beautiful soup. How I love thee!)

The only reason I used flask was Udacitys course taught their web app course with it.

I'll admit it, I've never actually analysed the benefits of a language in that way. My only judgement has been "mmm does it feel productive to use this language for what I'm doing". And "how quickly does the documentation take me to a hello world". Which is terribly subjective I admit. I'm suspecting I'm not alone. Or at least I hope I'm not :D. Yes. The embarrassment I feel is real.

PS - it's also how I ended up using nginx over Apache. I couldn't really understand Apache in 30 minutes so I used nginx instead. I even remember an interview where I was asked why I used nginx over Apache and I said "um... because it was easier I guess". Definitely not best practices and I'm trying to be more objective nowadays.
You are correct. I was a little loose in my language, and should have said material non-public information. Material information is exactly what you describe: Information which would be reasonably expected to affect the market.
As a juror, I can base my judgement on my own analysis of what is before me, I don't have to rely on what they tell me it means. I can consider the MRDA rule[1] when something seems too convenient for the person saying it. I can consider whether or not that oddly-timed eye blinking is a tell. I would be able to form these opinions privately during the testimony and then share these opinions with my fellow jurors during deliberation.

Based on instructions I received as a juror, I think it would be inbounds to send in a factual question to the judge, and maybe that question would lead to additional evidence that could be presented and also balanced with rebuttal or otherwise handled fairly.

You don't, unless it's to create off topic arguments/trolling.

To answer your question if you know the sex, you say the sex.

If not you use sexless pronouns like "their" and "they" even if they are not 'proper' by old strict standards, basically they are, because language evolves.
> Google and apple make a fortune from their app stores

Google has a web app store already, and makes vastly more money from web ads (including search, where most people would find non-store web apps) than it's app stores, anyway.

I suspect that busting Apple's app store in favor of web apps would be a bigger win for Google than losing Play Store would be a loss.

I think the Facebook + Microsoft thing is definitely a response to TensorFlow. Google seems to be positioning Keras as the portability layer above frameworks and frameworks are implementing it too.

This seems more straightforward in that IBM has money and MIT has a good reputation and also a lot of smart folks that they may be able to hire.

I really don't see how 'excited delirium' in any way absolves Taser. It's supposedly a condition related to chronic drug use and mental illness that has no easily identifiable symptoms. If an officer (or really anyone) isn't able to determine with certainty that someone is not currently suffering from it then using a Taser is at best 'probably non-lethal' and that's before we get into people with heart conditions or pacemakers.

Assuming that Tasers don't cause any long-term damage I'm actually okay with them as firearm alternatives. Just so long as we communicate that if an officer wouldn't pull out their gun, they shouldn't pull out a Taser.

Sure nothing I said disagrees with what you mentioned. Yes you can make you own opinion, draw from your experience, consider whatever evidence you choose and deliberate with your fellow jurors.

What the judge instructs jurors is that they shouldn't research related information or talk about the case during lunch or if they go home and have to come back and so on.

So in this case you might hear the defense "experts" talk about "delirium" and presenting it as peer reviewed, settled science. A juror would want open up Wikipedia page on it and read about and find that it's mostly bullshit. But they are instructed not to. Now maybe the plaintiff's attorney is good enough to call their experts and testify against the other expert. Or maybe you already know or is familiar with these topics. No problem there then, but you might be struck out initially by the defense if they say "is anyone familiar or an expert in X" as a preventive measure to bolster their chances of winning.

Now here is something interesting to think about - maybe there is a way to find out a-priori about all the cases on the docket for that day you are called and research and learn as much as possible about them. For busy court house that could end being a lot of cases.

Two metrics stood out in my experiments with CNNs back in May 2017:

1) Compilation speed for a jumbo CNN architecture: Tensorflow took 13+ minutes to start training every time network architecture was modified, while PyTorch started training in just over 1 minute. PyT suits my style of interactive coding far better.

2) Memory footprint: I was able to fit 30% larger batch size for PyTorch over Tensorflow on Titan X cards. Exact same CNN architecture.

Both frameworks had major releases since May, so I am sure these metrics might have changed by now. However I ended up adopting PyT for my project.
"this sort of analysis" is a bit wide ranging, so can't comment, because some 'such' analysis might not sit pretty with twitter. But "this" is in line with policies, we in fact work with twitter and twitter is aware of this application.

This in fact has the potential to make twitter data useful for a new kind of user (product manager at a software product), so has the potential of making twitter useful for a sort of new segment of users.
Hmm, I guess you could call it slander if the person and the dossier were perfectly interchangeable. But all the institutions know is that someone has been failing to pay back loans that were issued based on the information in a dossier. After a series of fraudulent loans to "Alice Doe, SSN 123-45-6789" (the file, not the person), when some random shows up at Yet Another State Bank and tries to take out a loan under the same credentials, the credit reporter is right to warn of the risk. They don't know if Human Alice is a risk, but Paper Alice definitely is.

Building off your analogy, you don't order mandatory evacuations every time you see a tropical depression form out in the Atlantic. It's only when the tropical depression actually turns into a hurricane and is on a collision course that you warn the public.

Data breaches are the same. If you put out a press release every time your infosec team discovered an attack, you'd be putting out releases every single day, multiple times a day, even though most of those breaches would turn out to be inconsequential after investigation. The public would become totally desensitized to them. That's why the investigation has to be done to determine if there actually is something to notify the public about.

Now, there's surely a point in the investigation where you "know" that the public needs to be notified, but you aren't completely done with the investigation yet. It would probably be in the public interest to notify then rather than waiting, but I think companies are scared to do this because many companies in the past have been lambasted by the public for doing just that. Apparently people don't like it when you release a statement saying "we had a major breach and some customers are affected but we don't know who yet", so it seems that companies are opting to get all the facts before saying anything.

~10 um actually. You might like the "How to remember sizes" section of http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/Atoms . If you imagine zooming 1 millimeter to arms-sized (1000x), then a grain of salt looks like a cardboard box. And a red blood cell, looks like a red M&M candy. Finger-nail sized in this 1000x micro view. So ~10 micrometers. Once you care about a factor of 2, M&M Minis are better match than regular M&M's, as rbc's are a bit under 10 um.

This post is spot on.

Google is actually very scared of PyTorch since nearly all new AI research papers are using PyTorch. This means in 1-2 years or so, most companies will be using PyTorch for training and Caffe for deployment. Tensorflow doesn't even have an implementation of the latest ImageNet winner, DenseNet, but PyTorch does!

I have sources on the Tensorflow team saying they are scrambling to make another higher level wrapper for tensorflow at the level of PyTorch.
zeromq is still very much in wide use. nanomsg doesn't have nearly as much documentation and community support as zeromq does.
This totally makes sense for Google. You charge back a purchase, and you've set a precedent about your relationship with them. Regardless of the circumstance, something about your account was shaky enough to lead to a chargeback. In your purported case, it was a brother in law accidentally disputing it.

You know how many people make apps/IAPs and charge back? A lot of people, so they can't go through every single case, ban one person but not another, and have inconsistent policies. Otherwise, the people who get banned see posts from people who CBed and didn't get banned, and they wave the exceptions in the face of Google. You're basically asking for a workaround to a fraud-related shutdown.

Once you issue a chargeback on a merchant, it's like pissing in their bed or cheating with a girlfriend: you can apologize and never do it again, but it breaks the trust, sometimes irrevocably. They don't owe you shit, as they already paid the bank $25 and Visa/MC about $8 per chargeback.

Even if you paid them back, they have no idea if you'll continue to pay back the CB fees with stolen cards until you either give up, or make enough IAP money to run off.

Non-rev refers to any non-revenue passengers. You're conflating NRSA (non revenue space available) with non-rev generally. There's also NRPS (non revenue positive space) and "must ride" flyers in that category. This flight was picking up airline personnel, not revenue passengers.

Your having lived through hurricanes on the ground is entirely irrelevant to a discussion about the safety of overflying the hurricane.

At the flight altitudes of a commercial jet none of the effects you mention happen. You need to plan your path carefully for the descent, landing, and takeoff. But at cruising altitude, hurricane winds are not a major safety concern.

This appears as Layer 4 load balancing, IPVS is more of Layer 3.

So the person who was voted down by mentioning HAProxy might not be too far off. It could be implemented through HAProxy + TPROXY enabled in the kernel[1]. Then just make sure that default gateway configured on targets routes back to the load balancer or it is the load balancer.

Two reasons multivariate polynomials are not commonly used in machine learning:

1. The number of parameters grows as (number of variables)^(degree of polynomial), which is highly inefficient. You could assume that the polynomial is a linear combination of easily factored ones, but that's equivalent to a neural network with one logarithmic-activation layer and one exponential-activation layer, followed by a linear layer. And most multivariate-polynomial theory probably hasn't focused on this special case.

2. To handle potentially unbounded sequences you'll have to use your multivariate polynomial in some kind of iterative/recursive scheme. That's what an RNN is. You could build an RNN out of multivariate polynomials. It probably won't work very well, because accumulating error will put you in an area of fast divergence. LSTMs use addition with a bounded function to avoid this.
