> Before giving the treatment for a stroke, a potent blood thinner called tPA, the doctor decided to do an informal ultrasound of the patients heart.

Out of curiosity's sake: IIUC blood thinners help a patient with an ischaemic stroke, but are harmful for patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Am I right? If so, how do people usually quickly rule out hemorrhagic stroke?

Well, you probably meant assert(A || !A), but even so that will of course never be an issue if A is a value, it becomes only a problem if A is replaced by something like a() (which I assume to be a pure function for the purpose of this comment).
Of course a() || !a() is never going to be false either, so assert(a() || !a()) will never abort your program, but that doesn't mean a() || !a() will ever be true (if a() never finishes calculating then neither will a() || !a()).
We could build solar-thermal plants that melt salt during the day and run off stored heat in the night. They're a bit more expensive than photovoltaics I believe, which is why they're currently not very popular (the storage problem is not so bad while we're stilling using fossil fuels for base load).

"I fear I might if they continued to wear something overly formal at work"

Why would you be bothered about what someone wears at work - formal or informal?
I disagree with this article, to some extent at least. Perhaps it's specific for trendy companies and startups. Most of which are just looking for the next shiny object, true.

However, when you look at companies that move the needle in different industries, companies that have repute, market share and profitability, they couldn't care less what is trending these days. They look for domain expertise and excellence.

I have friends who work at Renaissance, the hedge fund. The company couldn't care less about your grasp of the latest ML framework or Keros or whatever you were. As long as you know what you are doing and are exceptionally good at it.

Having worked, full time, at Microsoft, I'd say the same goes there and at Apple, Oracle, even Google for the most part. They don't care about what is trending, just prove your weight.

I think this conclusion was drawn from the companies that make the most noise but are actually not major players in industry. The same companies that are hot for a minute until they meet their eventual demise.

The most robust, relevant and profitable companies out there basically say, 'F* trends, show us your worth in salt'.

It's the hippie companies that ruin it all yet dictate social media conversation...for the 2 minutes their company is hot, then it dies.

Long live domain expertise and exceptionality.

They're wasting time in the same sense that bitcoin is wasting energy: maybe they're technically doing something, but it's still a waste.

Bitcoin wastes a lot of energy. Does it technically get used? Sure, it does, it's used to verify transactions. Is that still a waste of energy? Yes, because there are way better things we could do with that energy, like verifying transactions using coins that aren't obsolete i.e. aren't bitcoin.

Similarly, they're wasting the user's time here because while yes, the user is doing something by writing an apology, it's still much less valuable than what that user could be doing.

Based on my own stay in the USA a number of years ago, and I don't mean this in any bad way, the dollar has a primacy in American culture that isn't so matched in other countries.

What I'm describing is something more subtle than "money" or "wealth" which are pretty much universally human, but that the dollar as a fundamental unit of exchange of worth is universally regarded as a fundament. The faith that Americans have in their currency, regardless of social class or ethnic background.

> So when I say that TOR isn't safe, I mean that it isn't safe as it's presented.

Sure. But it is no more dangerous to use Tor on its own than it is to use a VPN privacy service on its own. So your claim that the US Government is enticing people into using Tor to entrap them is nothing more than an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory. It would be easier for governments if criminals didn't use Tor.
The mobile stores come closer to that less hesitation scenario I think. Your card info is already there, you only need to input your pass to spend the money.

I just think it makes it a lot less interesting to cover that kind of intro use case, as it's not very compelling exactly because of reactions of "but that's not how I'd do it".

Even more so because the "try" syntax is exaggerated. This works fine:

fax_number.try(:gsub,"+1", "")

And with a new enough version of Ruby, this works too:

fax_number&.gsub("+1","")

You still need to remember to do it of course, but using the "old" syntax makes the problem seem exaggerated.

Granted, I haven't really taken any large doses, but for me psychoactives don't expand my perception in any way.

Maybe i'm wrong, but i really feel that keeping go minimal is enabling lots of experiments with it, as well as providing very powerful tools around the language. I'm not sure what design "school" it is following (maybe unix single purpose command, but maybe there's something more relevant), but authors of the language really made an interesting point by sticking to their initial feeling, and delivering.

Although i wouldn't use go for "high level" development (that is, end-user apps or web services), it has really proved to be a great tool for middleware / technical layers.

This is probably because Spain is a sovereign state, and therefore is a different juridical entity.

Spain is not UK. Both situations aren't neither correlated nor comparable. In the same way that Londoners can't play with firearms in their backyards arguing than people in Texas can explode things all the time; Catalonians shouldn't enjoy the same level of independence than X merely by the argument than X exists somewhere.

The truth is that Catalonia would strongly reject a referendum to achieve the current Scotland status. They enjoy currently much more privileges and freedom to manage their resources at will, than scots can dream.
"boys"

Not sure what this was supposed to mean? Yes, I think Fei Fei Li's datasets are much better tests than MNIST if that is what you were getting at?

I don't see any of these people submitting MNIST to NIPS in 2017

None of them submitted things as entirely new and different as this, either.

Having said that, I think my point holds.

The completely awesome 2017 "Generalization in Deep Learning" paper[1] was co-authored by Bengio and uses MNIST - because everyone can follow it.

Yann LeCun was co-author on the 2017 "Adversarially Regularized Autoencoders
for Generating Discrete Structures"[1.5], using MNIST

Ian Goodfellow Autoencoder NIPS paper[1] used MNIST as one of its 4 datasets. Yes, it was 2014, but when introducing a new technique using familiar datasets isn't a bad thing.

DeepMind's "Bayes by Backprop" (ICML15) used MNIST[2]

Another example: the (June 2017) John Langford (Vowpal Wabbit) et. al paper[3] on using Boosting to learn ResNet blocks used MNIST.

So yes, I agree there are much better datasets to compare performance on. But to prove something new works, MNIST is a useful dataset.

We actually shouldn't. The psychoanalysis is contempted and forgotten however psychoanalysis is something like a computer language, the language of human inner world.

Some kind of lisp with probably terrible interpreter.

The modern neuroscience is of course something like an assembler. So lisp or assembler? If you want to write modern OS, then you know the answer.

The Freud, Jung, Lacan theory is related to psychotherapeutic work is like automata theory relationships to writing modern enterprise applications.

I don't believe there is something 'true' or 'objective' in psychoanalysis - deep inside is some ocean, some chaos of different introjections, emotions and feelings. But the psychoanalysis helps to create structure there, to look and make sense out of the ocean.

There is no substitude for psychoanalysis except really good prose probably or poetry.

And of course Freud was a genius.
We have a great product, targeted towards enterprises, well tested in the local market, looking to expand internationally (including US). We have a couple of international deployments in our portfolio already.
Our product could be categorized as a analytics, planning, data science solution. We've been on the market for 7 years, growing organically.

Currently, we are looking for an investment to fuel sales internationally and create new SaaS revenue channel to target medium and small companies.

is this a problem just in areas with the big trendy companies?

I've always liked working at smaller companies as it always feel like what you do is more significant and a lot more diverse. I know other smaller companies < 30ish people and they tend to like broader experience and people who can get stuff done. School background counts for little.

You are right, most people don't have the engineering time to implement this. Though there is definitely a market for this kind of optimizations in a SaaS solution (I know that because it has something to do with my job)...

Now, implementation of this by browsers is going to take a long time, and then we will see incompatibilities trickle down all the way, with Safari taking a few years after everybody else has it and IE/Edge also taking forever.... I should rather work in a farm and harvest tomatoes...
I feel like a reasonable solution to this might be a digital currency? Any coin with a fast enough block time that using the site is fluid would be fine (one minute or less) and could allow for a small value exchange without any further authentication.

Example: you're presented with the meme of your choice with the watermark and for X coin value you can remove the watermark, you send X to the requested endpoint (maybe sign up for an account or you're given a location where the new meme will appear once payment is confirmed) and you get your un-watermarked meme. You leave happy, they've received value for their services.

I´ve recently been in charge of hiring a lot of people and have probably done +100 interviews in the last year.

I generally don´t mind the stack/language candidates have been using but I always value very highly that they have used different stacks and languages during their whole carrer. When I interview 5+ years .NET developers who haven't used another language, not even in their spare time, the result is usually a rejection. Since the time I can spend on interviews is limited I need to discard candidates based on signals, even if that means discarding good candidates.

> But as they remained with arm's reach of each side, radicalism never took that much of a hold. Granted, we did have a sitting vice president kill the first secretary of the treasury in a duel.

I think this is a rather rose-tinted view on the amount of corruption and discord that has prevailed in the US, such as the Harding administration.

It also rather depends on your definition of "radicalism". Is white supremacy radical or mainstream? Does that change over time? Does that make it right?

There are many phones out there that are easy enough to fix the common problems with the right tools (heat gun, opener tool, set of small screwdrivers and picks). Replacing a dead screen is about an hour's work for a beginner and there are enough tutorials on youtube that most beginners will get it right first time. Most parts for common phones are commonly available on aliexpress. Most other problems can be dealt with by replacing motherboard/daughterboards or battery rather than needing to bother with reflowing solder.

The real problem is that phones depreciate so quickly that replacement parts (especially displays - Samsung LED screens etc are notoriously expensive) are often more expensive than buying a new second-hand phone on eBay unless you're willing to go down the route of separating bonded LCDs from glass/touch sensors is economically viable but that is much more difficult to do right, even with the right equipment (temperature-controlled hotplate).

I ended up taking the Thread offer, and despite working with people who's job it is to be good at fashion, I've not once felt out of place even though I have no real idea what I'm doing.

> And last time I tried typed racket I had some weird slow downs when specifying types less generally (like: integer instead of real, positive-integer instead of integer).

This is probably not your fault.

Scheme (from which Racket descends) has a very intricate numeric hierarchy. Typed Racket models the numeric hierarchy very accurately, and the technique they use to do this (intersection types) has bad worst-case complexity -- you can encode arbitrary SAT problems in it pretty easily. So the numeric types are actually aliases for quite complicated formulae, and this can tip you over into bad cases for inference. Writing a more specific type gives you a smaller formula, which makes typechecking faster.

In a clean-slate design, you would set things up to minimize the use of intersection types, but to get smooth access to the pre-existing Racket ecosystem, this is a price you have to pay.

(Warning: my information is a few years old. Racket's type system could have changed in the meantime.)
Charity fundraising
I cannot believe the model watsi are pursuing. I think it could help reinvent charity fundraising, moving it form "Push" (i.e. TV adverts, Bus adverts etc.) to "Pull" (i.e. Social Media, whereby the donors share the cause being promoted.) Ad spending by charities is Dead Weight Loss (Money wasted). ALL the money they have should go to their causes.
