On the flip side, this approach to learning means you know next to nothing beyond the dozen first bits of terminology or buzzwords for each new topic, much less the concepts. The moment you finally meet someone interested in discussing one of these things, its going to be immediately apparent the basis of your knowledge is a brief article/book or a weekend watching videos on youtube. Furthermore, these are all going to be little self-contained treatises without any prerequisites -- they are written for a general audience, so you are completely limited to, as the article describe it, the appearance of mastery to people who don't know better.

What's worse is that you seriously have to question the qualifications of any single source claiming to be a valid resource for a wide range of topics. Even if the individual course is written/taught by an expert, they are paid or motivated by another entity with their own set of bureaucracy and expectations. What works for learning tennis isn't going to produce the same class format as what works for learning Film Scoring (I'm looking at you Masterclass, for producing that joke of a class).

In my mind, the best approach to learning requires you to initially commit to either a top-down or bottom-up strategy. If you want to master the topic, you should go bottom-up; focus initially on theory and gradually more on practice/experience. If you want to ramp up as quickly as possible, go top-down and experience something for a more general audience to get a taste. If you like it, you can keep pursuing that route or commit towards a more bottom-up approach, which provides a higher ceiling albeit on a longer timeline. But don't go to a general resource like the one in the article, go directly to the expert's material, first-hand, for the raw, unadultered version.

“Duck, Duck, Gray Duck” Isn't Just a Stupid Regionalism, It's a Better Game
Is how much "justice" the victim really equally important to the recidivism rates? I don't think it is.

If one treatment method is "more unjust" towards the victim, but it leads to a lower recidivism rate, I think we should use that one. For example, in the case of murder, I think it's obvious that it's in society's best interest to optimize the justice system around reducing the murder rate as a whole, not how much "justice" the victim receives.

Now, if there's 2 methods that (somehow) lead to the same recidivism rate, then we can consider the one that is "more just" towards the victim, but even then, I'm not 100% sure.

Note: I put justice in quotes not because I'm trying to minimize it (it's definitely that has to be considered, or people will lose faith in the system), but because it's an ill-defined term right now.

I guess what I don't get is how even LD debates were able to be compromised by technicality, "spreading" and increasing velocity. As other commenters mentioned, spreading can be judged on a know it when you see it basis. Velocity could be similarly judged, or stopped with an explicit limit on rate of speech. Technicality is more difficult but probably becomes less of a problem if the other two are sorted out.

It sounds like the real failure is the failure to meaningfully regulate the offending behaviors. Maybe there is difficulty regulating it, but the "gee, we'll never be able to fix it regardless of how we regulate" is more likely an attitude of lethargic helplessness rather than a meditation on the nature of competitive debate itself.
This reaction is nonsense. These are all vendors that circle pays.

It's an industry wide bad practice and a risk, but forcing password changes or notifying people is quite frankly ridiculous.

This is a world where internet banking and healthcare, arguably the canonical 'highly-sensitive applications', are using 3rd party js services like this. I think we need to redefine 'reasonable' as the industry clearly isn't acting reasonably (IMHO).
... so if salary is zero, gross margin and profit margin are the same. Which is the case for a single person business.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but it's still a bit silly to suggest that my business is not profitable because I may eventually spend some of the money it makes.
What do you mean by a "invested in a Perl workflow"? Do you mean "comfortable with Perl regexes"?

Other reasons that you may want to use ack:

* You want to define your own filetypes

* You want to define your own output using Perl regexes

* You need the portability of an uncompiled tool in a single source file that you can drop into your ~/bin when you can't install or compile anything on the box.

* You don't want to have to deal with a Rust runtime.
Hi dboreham, thanks for the feedback.

BillBuddy started as a project for myself, where I found that it was a big hassle to keep track of all invoices I received without manually processing them and filling in the amounts in my own bookkeeping software.

Instead of now having to open every invoice, I simply forward the invoices an let BillBuddy do the reading. Once per month when I do my taxes, I log in, run an export of the parsed data and see all the data I need at a glance.

This way I know what I spent and my quarterly tax-forms are filled in much more easily.

That's the backstory and how BillBuddy turned out to what it is today, where I feel it mostly supports small companies of which the bookkeeping is not too complex but a small hand comes in useful.
Until AI for vehicles massively increases, humans are going to be better at navigating the truck through smaller roads, abiding by weight restrictions that may not already be known about, having local knowledge of the area that AI might not have. Every delivery location is going to be a little different so you would need a really general AI to understand how to just get the truck up to the loading dock (if you are that lucky).

The long haul portion of the journey is much more suited to the AI of today, cars already have enough tech to get this done with pretty good results.

No wonder it has been gamed. Intellectual pursuits can never be scored simply, and to do so means you'll get rule gaming that defeats the whole purpose.

Should go back to which team "developed a more convincing argument" and leave it up to the judges.
Thank you for the feedback. Nice idea, I will keep this in mind :)
> AFAIK, you have to pay a yearly fee for the privilege of doing so.

That hasn't been the case for a number of years. As long as you have a Mac, you can download Xcode for free, compile an app, and sync it over to your iOS device.
.NET Core feels very much simplified and has a lot of really wonderful Front End templates, specifically JavaScriptServices for their React + Redux, Vue, and Angular starter projects. They feel very much like a Node and React + Redux project but with a C# backend and TypeScript. I've found it to be really enjoyable having a type checker, server side rendering, webpack, and a great deployment story. All out of the box.

You can see an example of something similar here: https://aspnet-core.azurewebsites.net/ and https://github.com/kriasoft/aspnet-starter-kit

Excellent point, I have developed in asp.net mvc for quite a while, but I am currently doing a asp.net core project, and it is a nightmare, there is absolutely nothing but the most basic libraries ported to core, even entity framework itself doesn't have lazy loading yet, which is the most basic feature anyone would want from ef.
My current dragon to slay is doing things with pdfs and reporting on asp.net core, there is nothing truly open source.
It's not just standard of living. There's a lot of safety net you forego. In the US, you won't qualify for employer health insurance, and in most states you won't qualify for unemployment.

You won't be eligible for promotions, career advancement, or vacation benefits. It's remarkable how many policies are in place to ensure a 40 hour work week.

Novice restauranteur. . .. is just another word for failure.

You cannot purchase a restaurant without knowing the industry (eg by working in it), and expect things to just flow.

Don't take the leap, actually learn what the hell you're getting into.

As for the landlord, bloody hell. Needing to spend 20k on plumbing and they didn't think that was a bad place to rent ? There is no excuse for that, even if there was more than 20k of equipment on premises, they should have seen the warning signs.

Tldr: foolish investor thinks buying a restaurant is easy money, learns the hard way that it isn't.
> Yes you can compile and install your own software, but AFAIK, you have to pay a yearly fee for the privilege of doing so.

While this was true in the past, this hasn't been the case for a while if you want to build and run on your own personal device. There are some minor caveats, but if you want to compile and run an app locally on your device you don't need to pay Apple the $99 any more.

The idea that the version of Android that most people actually use is "open" is arguably a myth - when you look at what the "closed" parts of Android now include, it's a large amount of the feature set that actually matters to most ordinary consumers, and is often the "stick" Google uses to get OEM partners to follow the overarching vision for the platform.
On Android 6 at least, double tapping the home button brings up the camera immediately.

My experience is that LINQ pretty much beats every other way of interacting with a database I've ever seen.

Core is likely a more restrictive right now - EF Core for example is still in a very weak state, but things are improving and in a few versions I fully expect it to be a solid product.
Its a real solution, for YOU personally. I use and love umatrix (whitelisting ALL js/content by hand on all domains).

We need to consider the good of the many, and client side solutions like umatrix are not a solution for the many.
If you actually read the study referred to by the article, you'll see that they aren't making the claim you and jackshultz are arguing against. Nor does the article define "cheating" the way you seem to.

They measured some basic indicators of metabolic health, and found that e-biking is moderately effective cardiovascular exercise. The metabolic response they saw is well outside the noise, which is typical for these experiments: Sedentary humans respond remarkably well to exercise. (If that's not good enough for you, they also analyzed heart rate and GPS logs and found that their e-bikers were averaging about 5 METS for 40 minutes a day, 3 days a week. This is roughly what a doctor will recommend to an office workers who wants to lose some weight.)

Thus, you are not 'cheating' by pretending to exercise. If you want to know whether e-biking is "cheating" compared to regular biking, you can look up similar studies on the health benefits of biking and compare the numbers.

Controls are necessary when you're looking for more subtle effects, but the health benefits of replacing no exercise with moderate exercise are not at all subtle. All this experiment had to do was establish that e-biking elevates one's heart rate. Which is a gigantic 'duh'.

So what exactly are you hoping to accomplish by kvetching in the comments about their lack of scientific rigor?
Would you give up your job to just subsist on Basic Income? I thought not. So why do you assume that huge numbers of other people would?
There is a game in which players are shown a series of words that name colors, i.e. "yellow", "red", "green", etc. Sometimes the words are the same color as what they state - "yellow" being drawn in yellow, for instance. Other times, the words are written in a different color, for instance "blue" being written in green. Then, participants are asked quickly to state either the color of a given word, or to read the word, in a sequence of words according to different patterns. Studies on this seem to indicate that everyone has at least some capacity to confuse words with the sensations they evoke, and if anyone has not done one of these exercises it can be very interesting.

EDIT: Also, the descriptions people report of their imagination when reading a narrative description or exposition of a scene often include details seemingly arising in a loose associative way from the words themselves, without being explicitly described in the text.

EDIT 2: And I'm not entirely comfortable with the notion that people experience the world in a "fundamentally different way" when there is evidence that this may not be a fundamental difference after all. Different it is, no doubt, but this seems to be a difference of magnitude rather than fundamental nature. The predominant character of the experiences may be subjectively different, leading to a different approach to many situations in a person's life, but the mechanisms appear to be fundamental to consciousness itself.
It depends on the GPU arch. Some of them use a separate 2D compositor that uses much less power so if you're just scrolling layers you aren't lighting up the full GPU.

It is funny, Mc Kinsey consultants are the prime source of (poor) stategies for Telcos. And here they ask to Telcos to reinvent themselfs?

Well Mc Kinsey, why did you not tell about clues you may have had 10, 20, 30 years ago when you were asked what strategies should be implemented?
Minimalist doesn't mean you can't use paragraph tags! And they seem to have wrapped some of the lines but not others, and did so manually.

There are many high-quality libraries that can do pretty much everything you need. Is there a specific example of something you're missing?

Also you're right that the standard framework libraries are very comprehensive, which in fact lessens the need for 3rd party dependencies in the first place. Stuff like LINQ and await/async is incredibly productive and unmatched elsewhere. Why rely on various outside libraries when you already have what you need?

There are a lot of ways outside of the C# sandbox so you can always just call Java code if you need it.
And this can be ratcheted down further by leveraging something like the measurement protocol. It would eliminate the 3rd party calls/code in the browser while giving GitHub the ability to anonymize the source (e.g. IP address, user agent, etc.). Twitter does this with some of their 3rd party integrations.
An implicit assumption is that the universe is isotropic and homogenous at that scale. Meaning, it looks the same from any point and any direction.

So you might not detect photons in one particular direction, but we should assume that they should be going in all directions. Otherwise that theory is just moving the goal from "where's this energy" to "why is it pointing towards that".

CMB is consistent with, every direction is the same, so you would have to say "photons are going everywhere in this range, but towards that in this segment of the spectrum".

The reason Apple's actions aren't terribly anticompetitive is because the Android ecosystem is the competitor. Plus, while Apple is no doubt a major player in the phone business, they don't have anywhere near a majority market share.
You don't even have to read the library source, just verify the SQL statements generated. Most ORMs let you drop into raw SQL for advanced clauses and sub-statements. For me there value of an ORM is composable business logic. For example, if whereHasLotsOfTrees is a complicated SQL subquery and has it's business logic definition changed, I can edit only one function and have the new logic work everywhere.
They can do review-time checks of system calls that show the popup. Look for keywords in the dialog ("password", "account", "ID" etc). At runtime, check if a password entered in a dialog matches the user's Apple account password. Suspend or remove suspicious apps from the Appstore and advise the affected users.

When was the last time you checked out the open-source lib situation in .NET? I haven't had an issue with this in a long time (check out https://www.nuget.org).

On your second point, isn't that a good thing?
I think you're painting a caricature of 'fast' debate, which is an extremely rigorous activity filled with incredibly smart people.

You'll not hear me argue against the point that 'fast' debate is extremely rigorous and filled with smart people. At its core, debate is a game, and certain people have figured out (and more critically, achieved mastery of) the skillset required to win it--that requires intelligence and a lot of hard work.

If my comment came across as negatively characterizing this kind of 'fast' debate, it's mainly because the intent of my post was to say, 'here's what an outsider/layperson might not know about high school debate.' The fact that debates can be won with cogent arguments, and the fact that it's a competition that attracts a lot of hardworking and smart students, are not surprising to most people. However, other aspects of the competition--the incredibly fast pace of speech, and the fact that debates can sometimes be won with absurd arguments based on the "rules" of debate--are probably not consistent with what most people think of when they hear "high school debate."
Or that if you don't have any paid work you still might not get welfare?

What do kids want? Your soul. How much do they want? All of it.

I love my daughter. That's the truth of it though. Sometimes it makes me you happy and you want to give and give and give. Sometimes it makes me you unhappy and you want to curse them for their wretched selfish neediness. It doesn't matter though. They'll take and take.

Of course I was the same way with my parents so it's all fair enough. But like you say, sometimes I find myself humming Hungry Heart ("I got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack, I went out for a ride and I never came back") and just wishing they'd all just leave me along for a week. A day. A couple of minutes.

It's an inherently moral question, so it's hard.

I personally think that the 'Doctor who murdered his wife and children' - should spend 30 years in jail - even if it might technically increase his likelihood to 'do it again'.

It's also hard because the US system - as a basis of discussion - is kind of a mess. Crazy rates of incarceration, aggressive prosecutors, racism, private prisons, massive prison gangs, overcrowding - etc. etc. - it's such an anomaly.

It's easy to point out how the US system utterly 'non optimal' and in some cases actually 'unjust' because it probably is.

Which also makes it hard to compare to Scandinavia.

This comment invariably pops up in these threads; If it was going to, it already would have.. It's too late now.

Would it have been a better solution? Probably, but the investment required (laying down the rails, land buyouts, copious use of emanate domain, political greasing of the wheels, etc...) has always been prohibitive. The gains would be shared between many disparate groups that would need to fund this together, taking years to decades for any ROI - certainly a longer time-frame than most publicly traded, quarterly measured, corporations can afford. At the least this would have required some government subsidization.

With driver-less tech around the corner, returns on this investment for any one company become even more dubious, and thus make it less likely to happen. I think the parent comment here will always get some up-votes, but that is as far as I see this going anymore. Maybe it'd go farther if we threw in words like 'Hyperloop' ;)
In my opinion, UBI should be earned not freely given away. Perhaps it is earned through education coupled with community service. This ensures that those who are rewarded UBI know that they are expected to produce something of value (to give back) to society and their communities. In return, we are given valuable education (it could include entrepreneurship, computer science/programming, cooking, personal finance, communication -- stuff that should be taught in schools!). In the end, UBI serves as a reward for completing this rites of passage to become part of society through education to better ourselves for our communities.

If given freely -- based on our current society where the poor gets the lowest amount of education -- it will help in some cases, in most it will not. It is very hard to wean yourself of a mindset without education.
