How do you prove that employers did or didn't use Equifax or an equivalent service?
Probably because it's always been legal for you to refuse to give that information.
sounds like any other piece of software except that with it being open, someone can fork it. Software dies sometimes. That's kind of life. But it is better for them to go this new track than to push out closed items that people legitimately stake their livelihoods on and then kill it off when something else comes along.

When Windows Phone 7 was the new thing, I went to one of the Microsoft dev camps for it. I vividly remember someone in the audience, standing in the walkway berating the guy on stage talking about Windows Phone 7 development because he had been focused on some Microsoft technology (Silverlight? WPF? I can't remember) and they had basically relegated it to the past by switching over to this new framework. At the time, I was kind of just mind blown, but in retrospect I can see his disappointment. If it were open source, either another entity could champion it or it would still go in the heap of bygone frameworks, but at least then it stood a chance.

And I'm fine with Microsoft playing around with something, open sourcing it, and then they decide there is something else out there they want to work with. Mostly in cases like this where it isn't a "product" they're attempting to market. Seems to be an okay process and perhaps someone can look at what they left in their wake to gain some kind of insight from it.
These are very subjective, I've never done half of the 'high' priority items, and I've never had any issues with my site having a 'disfunction'. Take this list with a gigantic grain of salt.

For example, your site certainly won't break from missing the 'lang' attribute.

Oh come on, he's a tenured professor at an elite university and very, very widely known. I ignore most of his output because a) he's inconsistent and engages in apologetics, b) I have a big problem with how he constructs his arguments - basically he never looks at things from the side of the people he's criticizing, and thus leaves his readers poorly equipped to field counter-arguments, and c) there are lots of other writers who I think do a better job.

Maybe I'm judging him harshly, and if I'd encountered him at a younger age his writings would have been a worthwhile on-ramp into the same field of knowledge. But as an adult I find his writing like pouring gasoline or kerosene on a campfire: it flares up satisfyingly for a few seconds, but that's no way to build a fire that will burn steadily for hours and sustain people through a cold night.
You're right that it can do async io. But you compared a framework to a language. Rust has Tokio for async - Iron is just not using it.

It's similar with Ruby/RoR - yeah, they can do async. But not on their own. With unicorn server, you still get no threading and just a bunch of processes. With puma you can do threading (async cooperative really) - as long as you keep the configuration/code within the limits of what's allowed.

And due to the extra care needed whenever you do caching/storage things, I expect unicorn is still the king in RoR deployments. (GH uses that for example)

The very fact of science is that you can take the same experiment and under the said assumptions; you can repeat the same experiment yourself and come to similar conclusions as the one done by the original scientists.

"Voiced" in the phonetic sense [1], i.e., spoken with the vocal cords vibrating. Voiced 'x' sounds like the /gz/ in "eggs", /ɛgz/; voiceless 'x' sounds like the /ks/ in the American English pronunciation of 'x' itself, /ɛks/.

Many, if not all, American English dialects pronounce the words in the fashion I describe. In them, the name 'Alexander' would be

/ˌæ.lɛˈ(gz)æn.dər/

while 'Alexa' would be

/əˈlɛ.(ks)ə/

- in both of which, the phoneme corresponding to the letter 'x' is parenthesized.

Generally in English 'x' is voiced when it precedes a stressed vowel, which it does in 'Alexander'; in 'Alexa', 'x' precedes a reduced vowel, and therefore would always take the unvoiced pronunciation. (It'd sound very odd to an anglophone ear otherwise - say /əˈlɛ.gzə/ one time out loud and see if you don't feel the same.)

That said, it wouldn't be incorrect to pronounce 'Alexander' in American English with an unvoiced 'x', as

/ˌæ.lɛˈksæn.dər/

but, while I believe some dialects of English may default to this pronunciation, certainly not all do. (Neither of the dialects I speak does so, at the very least.) This pronunciation also produces a "hitch" or break in the word between the unvoiced 'x' and its preceding vowel, which would tend to make it a little odd both to hear and to say.

CockroachDB is also built on a key/value layer using a Spanner type design. MemSQL is OLAP that does OLTP well, and Citus can make Postgres handle OLAP pretty well too (as used at Heap).

The database world is rapidly changing and we're seeing new technologies that are enabling a lot more than we could do before. Just looking at some of the SQL on X engines alone shows massive improvements.
I think that's what they did, though.

I've noticed it too with a friend's TV. Some shows / movies become unwatchable because it's so distracting. -- I think part of it is that many of the artificialities of the screen become too obvious: the lighting, the makeup, the fact that many elements on a set a plastic / CG, oddities in perspective, etc... all of these elements are "fuzzed up" by a lower resolution and FPS, forcing your brain to fill in the gaps -- ironically more convincingly.

Sometimes in art, less really is more. Many modern Sci-Fi flicks fail to achieve that feeling of wonder precisely because they are shooting for too much realism in their special effects, I think. The problem is not CGI itself, but the technology does seem to make it too tempting for the filmmakers to fill in blanks that are perhaps better left up to the viewers' imagination.

And non existent for most of the planet.

EDIT: In regards to the numbers not adding up, You do understand that children don't work right? Remove children (the largest generation ever is currently in high school), then the roughly 40% or so of adults that are unemployed, retired or otherwise out of the workforce and it makes more sense. If you aren't convinced take a look at salaries in European nations, if you happen to find some reasonably high ones on average take a look at the population numbers of those nations.
Yours is a good description of publication bias. I think it's worth mentioning that funnel plots can give you a visual sense of whether there is publication bias, and tools such as Egger regression can help to try to tease out a less biased estimate in the face of publication bias.
Could be considered fraud. This law removes a lot of concern by providing clarification. Some employers ask for pay stubs, but I agree with you, making up a number should have been OK on the grounds of privacy. Even creating a fake pay stub for this seems reasonably moral if the sole purpose is to set the salary expectation at a new job. Current salary and value aren't necessarily correlated and hires should be judged on their skills and value.

> police have pulled back patrols as was demanded of them

That's an ungenerous interpretation of what BLM and sympathetic parties want.

Maybe BLM is demanding the police go away, but most of the rest of us want the police to learn how to deal with people, especially minorities, without shooting them.
"What you see as practical limitations are seen by me as practical advantages. What you see as convenience and power I see as loss and destruction."

That's not quite how I see things: I see static typing as a constraint that trades solutions for guarantees.

"To my eyes, the reason is that you’re most interested in abilities that help you fluently write programs/create values. I’m interested in balancing the power to create with the power to analyze."

I don't believe that power and convenience should be pursued above all other considerations; if I did, do you think I'd use a language where data structures are immutable by default? Immutability is a significant constraint, yet clearly I think it worth the cost.

Constraints like static typing and immutability are useful only if the guarantees they deliver are worth more than the solutions they remove. You say that assoc-in is "not valuable", because it cannot easily be written without discarding type information; it's a net loss, because type information is more valuable to you.

Where we ultimately disagree, I think, is the value we place upon static types. I don't think they're particularly valuable at all. Their cost hugely exceeds their usefulness, which to my mind is minor at best, and non-existant at worst.

But my problem is not that you disagree with me over how valuable static types are, but that you seem to think they're not a trade-off. Forgive me if I've misunderstood you, but you don't seem to acknowledge that static types have any disadvantages associated with them at all.

They say it uses Tensorflow, but is it a limited subset of Tensorflow designed only for image processing, like running a pretrained model on a TPU?
Because Chess is a simpler game than Go.

Minimax with Alpha Beta pruning works in Chess because the search tree is way smaller. The reason why all this "Monte-Carlo Tree Search + Neural Nets" are being used in Go because Minimax + Alpha Beta pruning DOESN'T work in Go.
Ah I see. I still think if you're measuring that way, there's no reason languages like Python et al. can't accomplish similar too. And if they can't, well, there's always adding more machines. Horizontal scaling tends to occur no matter what you're using, so is the argument just that with less productive (probably a matter of taste for many at this point) languages you'll have to scale out later? That's a tradeoff to consider, but there are other tradeoffs too.

https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r14&hw=... has some interesting benchmarks, apparently we should be using Dart or C++. Go does slightly better than JS but not a lot. Some newer Python frameworks aren't on there yet. None of them reach near 50k, but I don't know the details of the benchmark and they aren't all using the same DB. Certainly you can get crazy numbers depending on what you're testing. e.g. https://github.com/squeaky-pl/japronto gets one million requests per second through async and pipelining but those requests aren't doing much.

We should be careful not to be too dismissive. In my opinion, dismissive attitudes have hurt Python considerably in the last 10 years.

As people pushed the limits of Python's performance and were only met with answers like "use C for fast code, the GIL is probably never going to be removed", Go and Swift emerged, clearly intending to provide a Python-like development experience with performance characteristics more similar to Java, including the ability to run real threads.

Other runtime developers should pay attention and be careful not to fall into the same trap.
Sure, but all of their actual hardware is not available that way. If you're just buying accessories, then you probably could've just bought them online anyway. Downloading an app to go shopping at the store isn't appealing.
I don't think solving inequality in a purely mathematical way was the problem. Maybe the author should have spent him time doing something more valuable, like pretending to squish a far away person's head between his fingers by squinting one eye.
We are all bound to our basic needs. Whether we satisfy them by earning a living in a windowless office, or hunting for food and potentially dying in the field, does not change the reason we all do what we do: for survival.

A person today is less of a slave to his environment than in the past, although this is more the case in Canada and Scandinavian countries, than in the US.

Please don't refer to it as 'a set of neurons' - it only serves to fuel the (IMO) absolutely ridiculous AI winter fearmongering, and is also just a bad description. Neural nets are linear algebra blackboxes, the connections to biology are tenuous at best.

Sorry to be that guy, but the AI hype is getting out hand. COSYNE this year was packed with papers comparing deep learning to the brain... it drives me nutty. Convnets can be reasonably put into analogy with the visual system.... because they were inspired from it. But that's about it.

To address your actual comment: I would argue that this is not really interesting or surprising (at least to the ML practitioner), it is very well known that neural nets are incredibly sensitive to initialization. Think of it like this: as training progresses, parameters of neural nets move along manifolds in parameter space, but they can get nudged off of the "right" manifold and will never be able to recover.

Sorry for the rant, the AI hype is just getting really out of hand recently.

Machine learning is specifically not magic. Blackboxes are not useful. Convnets work so well because they build the symmetries of natural scenes directly into the model - natural scenes are translation invariant (as well as a couple of other symmetries), anything that models them sure as hell better have those symmetries too, or you're just crippling your model with extra superfluous parameters.

It's my opinion that TD Gammon was solved in the 1990s because backgammon is a 1 dimensional board. It didn't need the convolutional techniques of the Go neural nets to gain insight into the game and could thus be solved by a traditional neural net.
Salary negotiation is a part of life. People need to learn to at least do the minimum amount of negotiation. If you're making $X and a new potential employer offers you $(0.9X), and you just accept it without countering, that's on you.

People need to get over the fear that they'll lose their offer if they negotiate. The potential employer has already put in a lot of time (and money) to get to the offer stage; they're not going to rescind the offer just because you ask for more ("That amount isn't going to work for me; I was looking for something more like $(1.1X)"). At worst they'll tell you that they can't go any higher than the original offer, and then the decision is entirely up to you.
I recommend trying Lindt chocolate bars. It is a good, entry-level (sort of cheap) chocolate brand that is pretty wildly available.

We got kind of lucky at my office. Our floors missed the big sweep the last CEO was doing to make everything open office. They apparently hit some floors in this building and did a sort of halfway job with it to poor effect. I've been to another building where they finished and it's nice, but seems a little tense. Walking through there for meetings garners stares from everybody working in the area.

Not my field, I just thought it was an interesting question. Obviously mechanical systems have fatigue, stress, wear and tear. But new they can have undetected manufacturing faults, or assembly errors.

Given that stress and fatigue are generally well understood, at some point, will insurance on a new rocket cost more than insurance on a used rocket? And will SpaceX start charging more to use one of their "flight tested" boosters?
