I shop once a week out of habit and because it's when I refill my car (I could shop every two weeks now that I've found fresh milk that has a very long expiration), except for meat and veg.

I go to a gigantic butcher's shop once or twice a month, portion out the purchases and then freeze them.

I get a veg delivery once a week from a local farm who also locally sources what they don't grow.
> how do you perform your database changes as part of your deployment system?

Usually you run a database migration tool. However, the application has to be coded in a resilient way, so it can work with current and the immediate previous version.

In dev/test environments and if you have initial data that needs to be loaded, you just bring a new database up with the latest schema (hopefully in version control). You can have test cases that load old data, perform a migration and use the latest app version.

For production, it needs to be done more carefully if you're doing huge database changes. Ideally, you shouldn't exactly because CI/CD is letting you make smaller changes constantly... but sometimes your data is just too big and not trivial to migrate (e.g. a table with 1bn records now needs a new column base on data from another two columns)
It's what a psychopath looking for a competitive advantage would say.
that works for people living on their own, but people with families/children can't live in a room in a 5 bedroom house for 350/month. You also presumably can't go any lower than 350/month (which is the 20-30% cutoff the parent mentioned) - 300 quid a month might be nothing to someone who can afford a grand a month, but to someone whose income is 6-7 hundred a month, it's a massive chunk.

There are also costs associated with living outside of a city. If I live 5 miles out of a city, and work in a city, I have to travel there and back every day. Depending on where you live, this can be very cheap or very expensive. Public transport as a method of commuting is also not suitable for many people (in particular the people who would be affected by low wages who work awkward shifts). The alternative I assume is car ownership, which is definitely not cheap, and if you are driving into a city is probably going to cost you more in parking than you'll save in rent.
Thank you! I already had Prof. Yaser Abu-Mostafa's course in there too (also amazing), but I will check out Prof. Blitzstein's probability course as well.
I am currently learning Tensorflow and Keras. I found the learning curve quite steep with Tensorflow and the whole static computation graph thing puzzling at first (I thought it was dynamic...). Now I am a lot more comfortable with both.

Really welcome new libraries and frameworks to make deep learning more accessible. My only fear is that the field becomes cluttered with a myriad of frameworks like the JS world. It would add a lot of confusion and apprehension for people entering the field IMHO since they would not know what to use and where to start.
I would say that this is happening at the critical time when Twitter is under a shit ton of pressure: not fighting bots and abusive accounts, not implementing features requested by its users, its overall incompetence to roll out new features in a sane way, and them fucking up the homepage with algorithms.

If there's any decentralized service that has even a remote chance of succeeding, I would say that it's Mastodon. Simply because of the time when it appeared.
I share your skepticism, generally. But I think other countries face sanctions if their local laws disagree with our drug laws, no? This would explain a lot of the agreement.
The British studied this very question in India (where such use was pervasive) back in 19th century. Here's what they found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Hemp_Drugs_Commission

"In regard to the physical effects, the Commission have come to the conclusion that the moderate use of hemp drugs is practically attended by no evil results at all.
...

In respect to the alleged mental effects of the drugs, the Commission have come to the conclusion that the moderate use of hemp drugs produces no injurious effects on the mind.
...

In regard to the moral effects of the drugs, the Commission are of opinion that their moderate use produces no moral injury whatever.
...

Viewing the subject generally, it may be added that the moderate use of these drugs is the rule, and that the excessive use is comparatively exceptional. The moderate use practically produces no ill effects. In all but the most exceptional cases, the injury from habitual moderate use is not appreciable. The excessive use may certainly be accepted as very injurious, though it must be admitted that in many excessive consumers the injury is not clearly marked. The injury done by the excessive use is, however, confined almost exclusively to the consumer himself; the effect on society is rarely appreciable."
Genesis 11:6-7 New International Version (NIV)

The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
Only if you are resident in Canada. A lot of countries do that. The USA will tax you even if you aren't resident as long as you have at least a green card or other immigrant visa.

How many people are collecting income from a full time job while living in Canada anyways? Doesn't foreign income (vs. say capital gains) generally imply non residency?
Thanks, I'll clear that up in the copy! But in short, the ablator server decides which user gets whic flavor. Right now, this happens randomly, but I'm thinking of adding more rules in the future.

Exception tracking is not built in, but you could use something like sentry, and send the flavor value as metadata.

So this is essentially a creative implementation of the contracts model from Eiffel. I like Racket's implementation a lot, which is coupled with its module system.
You're encouraging a money-grubbing attitude, which is not really a healthy one to have for long-term happiness.

Furthermore, if they only see it as a path to money and not an end in itself to construct great, helpful, beautiful programs, they're gonna burn out real quick.

Also, "having money" as a goal is just somehow repulsive. Seemingly all the sleazeballs of the world are oriented like this, and as a result they tend to be very shady and use people as means to getting money rather than actually people, with whom meaningful relationships can be forged.
If obvious inefficiencies are not being fixed, nobody's incentives are aligned with fixing them. A sustainable solution must address the wrong or weak incentives, not try to fix the inefficiencies one at a time. Business owners are uniquely empowered and incentivized to address inefficiencies in their businesses and to compete for the customer. They lose money if they provide a product that isn't good enough. Making cities businesses would allow you to leverage that.
In the US, the winning party in a civil suit can sometimes get their legal costs paid by the losing party. It depends on the type of case, and sometimes on whether the losing party is determined to have brought the case frivolously or for the purpose of being a nuisance.

The question, though, was whether a person in a criminal case would be reimbursed the cost of their defense by the government after being found not guilty.
You are implying/assuming that the programmer has free will. That is nonsense.
I've never used an HP calculator, but I've recently been getting interested in emacs' calc, which is also RPN.

Could someone who's used both talk a bit about how they compare? Are calc and emacs missing something that made HP great?

That's a really interesting topic in my opinion, as well as coordinating migration of shards, etc. Is kubernetes the right later to orchestrate all that ?
The address exactly how you say deep learning should be taught in the course overview video. They aren't against learning all the maths, they just don't think you should do it first.

It's a top-down vs bottom-up teaching approach. The advantages are better motivation, better context and more immediate usefulness.

> All of that is guesswork if you don't understand what the CNN is doing at each stage.

Pff, it's still mostly guesswork even if you do understand what it is doing.

Interesting topic but the article itself has no detail, just lots of advertising.
The few countries that banned it early on, usually did so because of its vague association with opium, which was seen (rightly so!) as a serious problem.

For those that banned it later, it's usually because they signed one of the global drug control treaties:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Opium_Convention

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Convention_on_Narcotic_...

Both have been heavily pushed by US (indeed, it effectively organized the first one), and in both cases US was the one that targeted cannabis specifically. In the Single Convention, US was the one that demanded it to be placed on the most restrictive Schedule available.

Here's a good read about all this:

Under Napoleon in France, marijuana was banned because it reduced the soldiers' initiative to fight. Alcohol use was tolerated.
I literally started this course yesterday. One of the annoying things is the software setup. Yes they provide an AWS image but it's fairly expensive and I already have a powerful GPU on my desktop. Unfortunately the Windows setup instructions are long, complicated, use out of date software, etc. You have to install a lot of different pieces of software, including Anaconda which apparently is yet another package manager (seriously?).

It's not quite as bad as the Javascript npm/gulp/bower/whatever insanity but it's not too far off. Get it together ML people!
Got a link to that twitter list?
There should be a way to pull energy out of it without risking releasing the current pressure. The hot solid rocks above are pretty good at transferring heat, and you only need to drill part of the way into them. A very small hole can move a lot of energy.

A big difference is that with e-mail we've long ago stopped expecting discoverability. You don't expect to be able to search <insert random celebrity> and find their e-mail address. You do expect to be able to search for them on Twitter.
Is Swindon really better known for its art galleries than its ludicrous roundabout? It does have a massive train museum though, if you like that sort of thing.

Fun fact: you can go the wrong way around the magic roundabout due to its lovecraftian geometry.
They are sensitive little buggers at times, the physical version of dealing with SJWs. Had to calm things down a few times.

Juries don't get to choose the cases put before them. There is also the minor issue of what is reasonable doubt.

As we have learned from the number of innocent people freed from death row in recent years juries don't always get it right. Let's give them more than a black or white option to a grey world.
In the US can you not order food for delivery directly from supermarket, same for restaurants?

I would have thought in the UK Tesco, Sainsburys etc do as well as any delivery only services (Ocado, Amazon Fresh etc).

I would have guessed direct restaurant orders are as large as justeat/uber eats style services. They would certainly deserve a place on the pie chart...

I also dont believe the average US consumer spends $105/month on meal kits...

All of that is guesswork if you don't understand what the CNN is doing at each stage.

Well, what the CNN is doing at each stage is very simple to understand. There is a forward pass which is a matrix multiply (and addition of there is a bias) and then the matrix weights are learned in the backward pass, which is just basic differentiation and chain rule application. Now I am not trivializing differentiation ( when you try take the differntial of a vector, you are tearing your hair apart) but it's fundamentally a simple concept to understand.

Even with this understanding, designing deep neural nets and tuning hyper-parameters is mostly guesswork. Yes, the frameworks have little or nothing to do with this.

What I've found is that TensorFlow is difficult to wrap your head around for programmers because it's more like a DSL. You declare a computational graph and then run it multiple times. So when you are declaring a computational graph, you have no way of debugging that graph, unless you run it. Also the conversion from numpy arrays to Tensors and back is an expensive operation.
PyTorch simplifies this to a great extent. You just create graphs and run like how you run a loop and declare variables in the loop. This is great for imperative programming. However, think about it - every time your graph is recreated. Now if it's just a variable re-initialization it's not a big deal, but we are dealing with Tensors so you give up efficiency for flexibility.

Again, all of this is immaterial for learning how to build deep neural nets. I would say, just stick to whatever framework you can wrap your head around. I am learning that my ability to tweak numpy arrays, visualize them in pyplot, load data from csvs using Pandas and the like will take me a lot further in learning deep learning.
The idea that you can change power by removing wealth by force has the same legitimacy as believing you can extract an egg from a baked cake.
Maybe this is only a nitpick, but To Kill A Morkingbird had nothing to do with consensual sex. IIRC the accuser in that story really had been raped, but the rapist was not the accused.
Maybe visits are split among couples? As the average age in this dataset is 32, a significant chunk of the people must be partnered or married.
Oh great, more JS frameworks.
Equality of wealth is too strong a condition, but when you start to think about it, equality of opportunity is actually a pretty weak one. Of course, it would be good to have - I don't disagree with that. But one of the things the principal of equality is supposed to rule out is slavery. Suppose everyone is given the same education up to age 12, was then required to take an exam , with the top 1% becoming owners of the other 99%. That would still be equality of opportunity - but I think you'd agree that wouldn't be real equality.

What I think people mean by equality is that it should not be possible for an individual or group to obtain some overbearing degree of dominance over another individual or group. So that even if there is a disparity in wealth, there should still be a sense in which you are dealing with each other as equals.
The Evolution of the Testing Pyramid
Yeah they decided it wasn't worth their time, probably because the market shrunk. They could have made money on the education market because their RPN is a wonderful thing but it would require to explain things to kids and teachers .. so now it's all built by another company.

I sniped a 48SX on a Craigslist equivalent for 20$, the guy even sold the full manual and 3 math/asm books, I couldn't resist.

I'm learning electronics, I plan to mod it if I can, maybe an ESP8266 "coprocessor", a rechargeable lithium bat. and a usb port.
Too much water will kill you eventually. Funnily enough, we know how much water it takes to kill you, but we haven't discovered that limit on cannabis yet... but there surely is one.

In any case, the question isn't so much how it affects you while it's active, but how it affects you long-term. Transitory effects of any nature are not a concern, unless we're talking about rage fits or other behavioral changes that are actively and directly harmful to others.
Because this site is clearly in need of 250 KB surveillance JavaScript.

I like Andrew Ng's new Coursera deep learning course. You start by writing your own NN using just numpy and then slowly improve it over several sessions. By the time you get Tensorflow you've written several NN's from scratch and have a good understanding of how a NN works under the hood.
There are several magic roundabouts - I grew up near High Wycombe which has one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout#Magic_roundabout

The Swindon one is notable because it was the first, and because it has the tightest geometry, which makes it harder to see how it works.
Why do you need to encrypt your connection to that site? No sensitive info sent.
I agree with both statements. It's not because a rich person has more, that poor people have less.

If we were to start from scratch and redivide all the wealth in the western world between the people, it wouldn't take long for some individuals to rise to the top again and build up their net worth.

However, with wealth also comes power. There's just so much more you can achieve with good money in the bank. One simple example: a wealthy person with the good lawyer will almost always end up receiving a lighter sentence (if any) in comparison to the poor person with the shitty lawyer (if he even has a lawyer). That is clearly unfair, yet the way it is.
A 42S that a high school friend had was how I first learned about RPN and HP calculators. Bought a 48G soon after which I still have. I use the prime app on android now which works well when needed.
Hemel Hempstead, North of London, has an even better one.

It's actually 6 roundabouts forming a seventh (the Swindon one is only five forming a sixth) and it's also over a waterway.

As the taxi drove us through that madness, my boss turned to me and said "okay, you were right, it's best we didn't rent a car and try to drive to ourselves".

* To stop internet providers from injecting ads and tracking scripts.

Do most people just simply ignore the outer roundabouts? Otherwise I don't know how to explain this picture: https://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/wired_see-h...

There's a group of cars on the very right simply driving through the roundabout instead of around the center dot; and the two red cars on the left side of the image also couldn't have ended up where they are without ignoring the roundabout right behind them.
Directors of Canadian companies who are living abroad is probably one example.

Also, people who, say, commute from CA to the US on a daily basis will generally be exempt from Canadian taxes because the work is performed in the US (just an example, I have no idea whether you can commute from CA -> US on a daily basis)
That only works if it rewrites the git history and removes the function completely.
Sorting Out Sorting (1980) Excerpt
One question: could you have an RSS feed set up for the blog?

"Only one fatal crash in five years." (mentioned in video)

That's hardly a good fact to support the claim that roundabouts are safer that well-regulated conventional intersections... which they are actually, and more efficient in terms of the traffic flow. But the "1 fatality in 5 years" is an useless data point that proves absolutely nothing.
This is like the Calvinistic version of source code.

>To overcome government censorship and surveillance.

But the site isn't being censored? Also https won't stop the government from knowing that you connected to those servers. I agree that we want to avoid censorship and surveillance in general, but it really doesn't seem relevant here.

>To stop internet providers from injecting ads and tracking scripts.

Is your ISP actually doing that to you right now? Or is that just hypothetical?

"you've been stacked"

-- HP calc owner

Last year I finally read the whole manual (as a teen I only used the symbolic differentiator, most useful and magical to my brain at the time). Since I learned about Lisp, so RPN programming features appealed to me. I realized that:

1) RPN has lambda << 2 + >> means (lambda (...) (+ 2 ...))

2) RPN has a short syntax for them << a -> a 2 + >>

Yes, 1990 HP RPN had arrow notation out of the box. Take that ES6 !
