Different people tend to have completely different ideas about what an integration test is.

At one extreme, some people think it means that you have your entire system running and then you have some headless bot simulate clicks and evaluate the system's behavior based on the UI...

From my point of view, any test that traverses through the logic of more than one kind of object is an integration test. Primitive types don't count.

I actually find integration tests much more useful than unit tests. It's unusual for me to come across a unit of code that is so complex on its own that it needs to be tested in isolation. I think that simple units of code is actually a sign of good de

Your no answers reminds me of an experiment I read about where they determined people were more likely to accept a request if you included pretty much any justification, even when totally self evident.

E.g people are more likely to cut in line at the copier if you say 'can I cut in line, because I need to make a copy'. Even with an inane excuse like that (everyone else there also needs to make a copy) people are more likely to accept.

So your first example is likely the better one, even though the reason given is basically void of explanatory content.

I don't mean to endorse such behavior, but the folks who used a loophole after stealing my ATM card details from a data breach never got caught using a variety of ApplePay based variants of this attack (now fixed, btw).

In general folks who get serious about it never get caught. Which is why folks who give a damn about the world don't talk about specifics on public forums.
The proxies already existed at that time, but the idea of using them in the native code to replace hooks did not :)
Value proposition on theaters is very low.

The popcorn isn't even good. I want butter and salt evenly distributed throughout the entire bucket, not a disgustingly over seasoning top inch, and a bland inedible bottom 90%.

The cheapest matinee is a Tuesday 5.75 about 20m from me. It's just not worth it at all. Serialized dramas that I binge watch are killing movies. Attention economy continues to forces changes in old media.

I don't blame them. Bitcoin's fees have been way too high. I had to spend $6 just to make a $20 purchase. This is ridiculous.
Would love to see this over time. The tax breaks fall off pretty significantly after a few years for the average person.

How do they expect this to be successful when the average customer should be able to understand 1/day > 1/month?

> Doing that badly might have that effect, but there is no axiom which states that accurate counting must be slow or manual.

No, but there is an axiom that says the more expensive an attack is, the less likely it will be carried out. Hacking manual counting requires so absurd amounts of coordination between so many individuals, that you can pretty much discount the possibility. High technology is a vehicle of multiplying the power of individuals. The same process that makes electronic counting more efficient, makes it also much cheaper to attack.

> This is a solved problem (ask the USPS if you want details).

TBH, postal services screw up in that department regularly, but nobody cares, as the impact is very small.
I guess this sort of misses the main point, IMO.

Sure, my taxes will go down, but I have grad student friends that may have to drop out because they now have to treat waived tuition as income, and pay ~10k tax on it somehow with their 20k-30k stipend they get. And I've got friends with kids that are going to see their tax burden go up by thousands.

Meanwhile with all of this 'simplification' and 'getting rid of subsidies', we're not doing the same for corporate or high income 'subsidies'.
Distributing Tracing: Announcing Jaeger 1.0 Release
The wise words at the end:

You can tell where there is too much money and too little money by looking at valuations. When valuations are extended, that means there is too much money. That was seed in 2014, growth in 2015/2016, and ICOs in 2017. The trick is to get into these sectors before the money shows up and get out when it does. And then get back in after it leaves. And not get burned along the way.
I just remembered a specific use case which we had where we where told no re: looking at code and it completely screwed us.

One of the banks owned by our parent company was using a system built by HP to determine loan rates. Now, being a bank that's kind of their core competency so letting someone else build it just seems silly.

But two years later I was on a project trying to hook a bunch of stuff up to this system and we noticed that we couldn't get a proper test run because it kept giving us different figures for the same inputs.

After asking again for the code, or even pseudo code that would explain the behaviour we again told no.

A bunch of lawyers got in a room and they explicitly threatened to sue us if we tried to decompile their code or monitor the system to learn the logic. My response to this was immediate alarm bells because that meant we where not allowed to actually test the system which paid for most of the development of and hosted internally.

A discussion with just our lawyer revealed that, because it was related to home loan rates, our liability was actually significantly reduced if it where technically possible to decompile the code and verify what it was doing because the cost of not being able to explain it to auditors would be so high and the amount we would be sued for might maybe max out in the 10's of millions.

After a bit of very low level analysis we found that their algorithm for determining a load rate included a random number generator to determine an arbitrary discount in the case that very similar data was input repeatedly.

We later discovered that a developer was trying to be clever and get more home lones sold and had entirely missed the point of risk profiling properly. Ie. We don't want to sell you a home loan at a low interest rate if the risk of you defaulting makes it less profitable.

Eventually the resolution we came to was that HP would fix this shit up and they would provide us with all of the original source they had access to.

But for the next 20 years or so we will be carrying the liability of potentiallt hundreds of loans (this system wasn't used by most business units at the time but we where thinking of expanding out its use, hence the project) that have an interest rate that is lower than it needs to be (like 1-1.5% lower!) to cover the risk profile of the person who got the loan.

And all we needed was the code and that wouldn't have happened.
You forgot broken seats, sticky seats and floors, other movie goers talking and looking at their devices, etc. The last time we went to the theater a woman seated next to my wife kept getting up and leaving. Finally she came back and spilled her beer all over my wife. Then sat back down without apologizing. We haven't been back to the theater since.
It doesn't look like this is actually usable...

> The first step, which has landed in Cairo’s trunk, simply detects if GL ES 3.0 is available; if so, it creates a surface that’s able to talk with the GPU with this version of the protocol. Additional coding to leverage the new functionality will be introduced later as follow-on work.

I would really love a cross-platform, hardware accelerated 2D API though. Right now the web's Canvas API is actually the best solution to this, which is really annoying because you shouldn't need to depend on the entire browser stack just for an easy way to draw a triangle to the screen. If accelerated Cairo could be plug-and-play with SDL (like in https://www.cairographics.org/SDL/) it'd be amazing.
Well you should definitly look into them.
In the past we used corosync/pacemaker a lot (even for different things than just database-ha) but trust me... it was never a sane system. if it ain't broke it worked. if something broke it was horrible to actually get back to any sane state at all.

we migrated to patroni (yeah stolon is cool aswell, but since it's a little bit bigger than we need to we used patroni).
the hardest part for patroni is actually creating a script which would create service files for consul (consul is a little bit wierd when it comes to services) or somehow changes dns/haproxy whatever to point to the new master (this is not a problem on stolon)

but since then we tried all sorts of failures and never had a problem. we pulled plugs (hard drive, network, power cord) nothing bad did happen no matter what we did. watchdog worked better than expected in some cases where we tried to fire bad stuff at patroni/overload it. and since it's in python the charactaristic/memory/cpu usage is well understood. (the code is also easy to reason about, at least better than corosync/pacemaker.) etcd/zk/consul is battle tested and did work even that we have way more network partitions than your typical network (this was bad for galera.. :(:()
we never autostart a failed node after a restart/clean start. we always look into the node and manually start patroni. and also we use the role_change/etc hooks to create/delete service files in consul and to ping us if anything on the cluster happens.
How on earth can you tell if someone is a native citizen from their name?

And what difference does it make if they're native or naturalized? One of the bedrock principles of American democracy is (or at least is supposed to be) that a citizen is a citizen. There's a reason that the phrase "second-class citizen" is supposed to have universally pejorative connotations.

Yes if someone gets to 51% it’s game over but with PoW you can more easily handle a takeover in progress and it’s easier to combat it’s potentiality it by simply constantly increasing your own hashrate.

My biggest concern with Bitcoin is that atm we have no guarantee that the Chinese mining cabal doesn’t have 51% already.

With PoS you can’t use the same strategy without negative consequences since you would harm the liquidity of the currency in the process.

You can have some PoS system which would tie the number of new coins created to the liquidity of the network and a few other attributes but I don’t see how this could not be fooled by simple moving currency around the network within wallets in your control or to side channel attacks (primarily gaining controls over wallets in the real world rather than only on the block chain).
Thanks for sharing. My experience, received benefits are similar to yours.

These techniques http://www.thewayofseeing.com/ helped me get meditating again. The drills I had done as a kid no longer worked, and the many variations I tried since haven't worked, for whatever reason.

Considering this as fact (that concessions make the money), I would think a theatre would do everything in it's power to make purchasing and consuming concessions the most pleasant aspect of movie going that they possibly could.

Having to juggle sodas, popcorn, napkins, etc., is always an adventure in the negative sense when I go to the movies.
He's not wrong about it being more difficult for people with dual citizenship to get security clearance, though. At least in that sense you can be a "second class citizen."

South Bay 10 Week Machine Learning/Applications Class $439
Hello People,

I invite you to attend my class:

Build Machine Learning Applications with Linux, Python, and Spark

Registration Link:
https://register.asapconnected.com/CourseDetail.aspx?CourseId=109653&ext=1

This class is unique due to its dual nature.

We focus on both Machine Learning technology AND Application Development.

The type of ML-applications we develop are web-applications and REST API servers.

The Web frameworks we study are Ruby on Rails, Flask, and Flask-RESTful.

The Machine Learning technology we study mostly focuses on preparing and feeding observations of training data to the API layers of popular ML-frameworks: Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Keras, Keras-js, Spark MLlib, R-glm, and Postgres-MADlib.

Often we rely on ML-frameworks to build predictive models and then generate either predictions or forecasts from newer data.

For the ML APIs we use these languages: Python, JavaScript, Scala, and SQL.

Next we rely on the Web-technology to help the end-user consume and visualize predictions or forecasts.

The class meets ten times on Saturdays 10am to 2pm.

The winter session starts on Dec 9 and ends Feb 17.

The cost is $439.

I don't think it will ever be solved. It will be a continual effort.

Some of the best tools I can think of:

* cultivating a culture of critical thinking and strong opinions weakly held

* increased awareness of cognitive biases and how to reduce them

* educating people how to evaluate evidence and understand how theories develop [1]

* open and honest discussion

* shaming intellectual dishonesty

* constant vigilance

Don't you have that backwards? They require people with lower ticket prices to pay the same amount as people with higher ticket prices. So the "poor" (or people the movie theaters think won't pay more money, anyway) are paying for the "rich".
If you vote on a decision directly, it makes sense for it to be fast. But for large elections, when you select future rulers that will hold their office for years, a few days of delay between the vote and the results makes pretty much zero difference - especially that you usually do the vote while the old politicians still have months to go.
For a till tap, do deputies compel the business owners to open the till, or is there some kind of skeleton key that law enforcement use?
It's only unsustainable because of the current royalty structure. Most of the money actual theaters make is on concessions and I'm more likely to buy concessions when I'm not paying $15 per person for a single movie ticket.

It's a psychological thing. It's the dirty work. Someone has to do it.

I just grab a couple cans of Red Bull, some L Theanine, pull up my metaphorical gloves and go in.

The book Mythical Man Month states that in large codebases, about 1000 lines of code are written per person per year. Coding style can be perfect and it could still be a pain to go through. Sometimes it's a pain simply because the coding style is "perfect" - it could end up verbose or too clean for comfort.

But you gotta do what you gotta do. Think of all the lives you improve by doing this. Reward yourself afterwards.

I think the best you could get is a comparison of the per-capita debt incurred under some economic models, vs tax change realized individually, and possibly who/what accrues the benefits of the difference between those numbers.
I'm confused why Movie Theatres don't actively promote MoviePass to their customers.

Isn't MoviePass paying full ticket value to the theatres? They should be offering people discounts to show their movie pass cards on concessions, and otherwise get people showing up for free subsidized movies while they can.

Am I missing something?

I used to manage a data science team for an ad-tech company.

> When you have to judge papers/findings by the motives and qualifications of the authors rather than by the data, you no longer have science you have opinion.

To a significant degree, that is exactly how the scientific community operates. Amount of funding, prestige of journal (in which the research is published), and acceptance of results depend highly on reputation. I'm not a scientist, but I've heard that from many scientists and I believe there is research and journalism that support it.

As in any industry, the ideal is not the reality. Think of programming; how much code actually follows the norms, ideals, and theories of how it should be done? Very, very little; OpenSSL comes to mind as an obvious example; OpenBSD tries to do it 'right', at least to a degree, but they make significant sacrifices in functionality and productivity, and many people think they are over-the-top, self-indulgent obsessives. The reality is that getting things done requires a lot of hacks; few people review any code, even open source; and if Linus Torvalds and I submit competing code to something, his will be accepted regardless of the quality - probably,
Just want to repeat what lisper said, and even more emphatically as this is personal to me, you cannot tell a native US citizen from their name. I myself have an 11 character surname from the Baltic States. I was born in Washington DC.

In general, inference requires the creation of new information, in a Kolmogorov complexity sense. I.e. perfect inference uses Solmonoff induction, and Solomonoff induction is only possible with the ability to enumerate all elegant programs. But infinite Kolmogorov complexity is necessary to enumerate all elegant programs.
