What I am saying is that when two cars are side-by-side going very near the same speed, they both feel vindicated by the fact that they are driving relatively slow, because there is a propaganda-fueled culture that focuses on speed.

They do not feel like they should do something, like drive faster or slower to allow traffic to flow around them.

This causes much more dangerous traffic situations, because traffic gets bottled up, and there are always a few cars that want to go significantly faster, and aren't afraid to drive more dangerously out of frustration.

Those drivers who drive more dangerously are seen by the slow drivers in the front to be the real problem. The drivers in the front then feel more vindicated in their "correct" driving style.

If you need to force yourself, or if you need extra special motivation to use Clojure .. most likely you will never use it

You might spend sometime learning it out of curiosity, but you will never use it

The languages I used, are ones I had to use, either because they were the only option, or clearly the best option for my solution (C#, VB.Net, Powershell, SQL)

Clojure will never be your only option, and .. it being the best option is highly subjective

I tried to like Clojure, because of all the blogs and talks, and the reputation of it being a smart language for smart people (I obviously, wanted to belong to this group, and still do) .. but for my work, and use cases (Business Intelligence), it will never be the best option, or the only option

The same list that include Clojure, for me also include F#, D, Dart, Ada 2012, Idris, Julia, Rust .. I am sure since you asked this question, you have your own list too .. and you know, nothing will really work to motivate you

Not really sure what you think that adds.

Nobody is denying that the "anti-hijacking" forcing of CTRL-ALT-Delete adds to security, what they're saying is that it has nothing to do with this topic.

This topic is about keyboard input focus. In Windows, due to the process hierarchy the login UI isn't running in the same context as desktop applications, so stealing focus or focus drift couldn't occur.
In addition to the many xscreensaver bugs over the years that the sibling post mentioned, last year there was a systemd root escalation exploit that was the same class of programming error as Apple's bug that enabled the root account with an empty password. From my understanding, in both cases they misinterpreted the return code's magic number (-1) as something it wasn't.

Also, Linus' Law has some doubters. Things like Heartbleed show that Open Source isn't immune to long-standing, very impactful bugs.

Thanks for being the first to reply. I was worried I'd just get upvotes and no replies!

I think you have two separate points, one with which I agree and one with which I disagree.

First, I agree (and other commentators about AlphaZero seem to as well) that human learning "algorithms" still beat AlphaZero's on per-game ROI.

On the other hand, I disagree that AlphaZero's self-play is no more interesting than a human playing someone better and learning from them. AlphaGo, AlphaZero's predecessor, followed a strategy more like what you described, learning from a large corpus of existing expert chess matches. AlphaZero, on the other hand, requires no training beyond an encoding of the basic rules of chess that it can understand. From there, it bootstraps its understanding of chess without input from experts.

This is the piece I find most interesting, see as potentially useful for the future of human learning, and believe differs from practice with an expert teacher. And so I wonder, can we design learning environments where the learner bootstraps their own understanding from a limited input without continuous feedback from an expert or teacher?
> Simply contest the ticket, since the worst case scenario is you get the same punishment you would have gotten if you hadn't fought the ticket.

Wrong; actual penalties for traffic offenses can be greater (both in monetary value and may add license suspension) than the fine assigned with a ticket (which is a mixture of bail applied for certain modes of contest and a plea bargain offer if you choose to plead guilty.)

Plus, whether or not the base fine is higher, you can also be assessed court costs.
> Do you think RoR is a good choice when all you really want is a service with a REST API?

I'm going to be honest with you. I love building pure REST apis in rails. The experience is so clean and effortless.

That being said there is at least one caveat to using RoR for the first time, and thats that the learning curve is probably going to be a little steeper than a rest lib like flask where things are more explicit, since there is a lot of convention over configuration in RoR. Once you learn the conventions, the development speed is ridiculously fast, but until then things can be pretty opaque and take some time to get used to, especially for people who don't understand well how the ruby runtime works. I've witnessed this on multiple occasions with multiple projects, if there are more advanced/not-stack-overflowable things that need to be done, devs who are working in RoR and ruby for the first time, will run into a lot of roadblocks. This has little if anything to do with their particular skills as a programmer and more to do with the dynamic nature of ruby and a lot of very tricky hacks rails does under the surface to make the end-user api clean and succinct.
If you're looking to roll your own HTML rendering https://browserless.io/ is great for doing just that and allows you to use puppeteer to do the HTML generation.

You could even go so far as to remove all unnecessary JS and CSS, but that'd require a bit more elbow grease.

While I appreciate your apparent motivation and message here, Oliver, I'm sure that others beside myself would like there to be some attempt at insight into how you generate the number of kilograms of carbon generated according to your calculator, as well as the very important question of:

How do I know that I am sending my money to a legitimate mission to plant trees. You reference the World Land Trust, but I don't see any request for Bitcoin on their website. The address appears to be brand new, and I can only assume is yours. https://blockchain.info/address/1GqUcWivNngEzgoC1VRBz6Knhw9t...

There is no process. There needs to be one. Some people might even more gladly give if they can be assigned a fiat value for their contribution for tax purposes, but even besides that there is simply no confirmation that the money would ever get to be put to work planting trees.

And of course, the glaring logical problem, that the effort to gather Bitcoin for this purpose will only heap piles upon the cost its trying to offset...

Maybe a better mission would be to try and partner with an exchange and the charity in order to ask people to donate a portion of any profit they see in selling off any cryptocurrencies, and take the value in fiat on the way, then all of the above issues could be mitigated.

You have to understand, there are so many scams out there, that the seeming lack of process ("Just send money to this address") doesn't instil one with confidence.
Apple's core competency: sell flat computers.

Anything that brings you deeper into that ecosystem, feeding the likelihood of buying another flat computer, is fair & likely game for Apple to buy or compete with. Shazam: you hear a song, use phone to recognize it[1], download album from Apple Music, ... you're a little more likely to stay within the iOS ecosystem and buy another iPhone.

[1] - Recently I stopped at a traffic light; cheap chopped car pulls up with music blaring hard edgy electronica. Something sounded interesting about it. Yank out iPhone, run Shazam, identify song before car drives off. Download album which is about...software engineering?!
Are we sure AlphaZero has better learning efficiency than human?

Sure, it reached peak skill after 4 hours of learning, but how many games did it play during those 4 hours? How many moves did it memorize perfectly and analyzed? Are those numbers even achievable by a human in one's lifetime?

Even with AlphaZero's efficiency, it still evaluates 80000 moves per second, which is by far more moves than a human grandmaster evaluates in an entire game. If we cut AlphaZero's "processing power" to that of a human, can it still beat a top level human player, let alone other AIs?

To me it seems like there is still a long way to go to improve in this space.
Would love to answer,however not in a public forum like this. I can say that I paid my dues and had people take a chance on me.

'Fake it til you make it' is about getting access to opportunities you wouldn't generally have otherwise. It's not a learning strategy, so it's not surprising that it's not an effective learning strategy.

You're supposed to be faking feeling like you belong, that you are successful; not knowing something you don't.
That's a great point, and great example to illustrate it. IP geolocation should definitely be treated as a "helpful assumption".

It's likely the only option unless you live in a large metropolitan area or can drive a couple hours. I guess there aren't enough clients to support both so we get the one that can do everything.
> "faking it", even if that's just networking politely, cold-calling, and doing some basic research on the companies you're applying to.

That's definitely not faking in any sense of the word!

Well, I've really heard it three ways. "Fake it till you make it," can mean any of:
- Slightly untrue positive thinking will help you build up enough confidence to get started.
- Present yourself to other people with the confidence of someone who's already done what you want to convince them you can do.
- Falsify your qualifications and dodge questions about what you've done in the past, don't worry it never catches up with you.

I think 1. can work for some people, 2. works for essentially anyone in every situation, and 3. is very, very false.

The fact you persisted this long without making that claim makes me question the veracity of that statement.

I'm just quoting that out of incredulity at the statement.

I never said anything about Discord blocking Cloudflare.

I am happy.

People who try to argue about how terribly misunderstood corporations are never enjoy talking to me. The same is true for people who attempt to correct me on the basis of their opinions that aren't rooted in factual necessity.

I don't need to have a positive interaction with someone who tries to starts an argument with me over how my worldview is wrong because of their personal opinion on how the world should work.

My beliefs aren't going to change just because you feel your opinion is validated by niche popularity. Niche popularity got Trump elected lol. That isn't the sort of thing you want to base your views on if you have the self-confidence to realize that _sometimes_ the majority view is wrong and something needs to be said.

"You Can Negotiate Anything" by Herb Cohen. While not a sales book per se (like the title implies, it's about negotiating) it gets you into the "sales" mindset. The sales mindset is about figuring out what matters most to the other party, and how you can provide it to them at minimal cost to yourself. Put like that it sounds very abstract and obvious but the book has a number of amusing anecdotes to illustrate these ideas.

My assumptions are that I can save money by not using them, that one should not take on a debt burden that one cannot pay back and that pumping billions of phantom money into the world will result in bubbles.

Look I know, the average economist disagree with me. But the ideas (other than no inflation, which is more a moral thing than a thing of economics) are not mine - they belong to Hayek and to some degree Milton Friedman. Friedman got a nobel prize in economics; Hayek was the opponent of Keynes, and despite a bit less than a century after the disagreement we haven't gotten rid of cyclic boom and bust.

I believe economies are significantly simpler than economists believe - and macro economists have an atrocious record of predicting the future.

Bad news: Warmest climate models might also be most accurate
I very much disagree with you. While traffic engineering failures may not be as acute as a medical doctor, the effects can be much more expensive and far reaching. For example, let us say that a road has a design speed of 55 mph. That would dictate the maximum curvature of the horizontal alignment. If an engineer chooses to ignore this design speed and makes the corner too tight, there will likely be a crash cluster at this location. The cost to mitigate that kind of mistake could be very expensive and possibly cost multiple lives.

Another more extreme, yet more common, example is structural engineering. While the basics of structural engineering are relatively simple the consequences of failure are very high. If a multi-story structure collapses, a lot of people will be injured or killed. That is why it is important to know more than just the basics of what goes into structural engineering.

I am not trying to down play the importance of training for medical doctors. I am trying to highlight that engineers need to have training and a regulatory board that is used to track and prove that the training has been completed to an acceptable level. If any yahoo is able to say, "I am an engineer, trust me," how do you prove his credentials? Just like with a medical doctor, you would look up his certification.
Pretty much all of my time. We're a small shop. I network like crazy, both paid and free networks. If you have to choose, always go with paid. I also setup lunches with potential partners, clients and people who know people. About 3-5 lunches a week. It has a compounding effect and people will start referring others your way after a while.

My company's website is solid and it's purpose is to confirm that what I tell people is real. My online profile is also thought through.

Trying out new technologies isn't relevant, that's improving your skills as a SE. The others in my shop get to do this on a more regular basis since they hardly have to do any sales / networking.

Bot won jackpot in largely winner takes all industry. There cant be possibly thousands Rowling or Notches worldwide. There can be three at a time in each category. And most often, there is none.

Neither of them influences politics enough to be considered elite in the parent meaning. Both are just someome with a lot of money and a little influence. They don't fund think-tanks to push for favorable tax policy nor know how to do it nor have enough money to do it.

Clamshell mode has notoriously been a problem for many years over a bunch of models. Sleep/wake has usually been way better than Windows or Linux, but has also had it's share of problems. The sleep/wake issues usually get fixed, the clamshell issues from what I've gathered get resolved less often.
I agree that AlphaZero's per-game learning efficiency is much shorter than a human's (as mentioned in my other reply). The part that interested me more was the fact that it bootstrapped its learning from the basic rules of each game.

Now that I think about it though, one might argue that human learning in a given discipline starts as isolated with feedback only coming from the outside world. This is what we typically call research. But the magic of our education system, when it works, is that we compress the output of this slow process into a faster one and feed it to learners, allowing them to build understanding of knowledge which originally took generations to discover. Riffing off Matt Might's illustrated depiction of a PhD (http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/), expanding the circle of knowledge is exponentially slower than getting close to the edge.
You know to be honest, even in your second scenario, I've found more success approaching others with the stance that you are a young, energetic, and driven student who has the potential to learn, willing to listen to the advice of the experienced, and an admittance to your own lack of concrete knowledge.

For some particular case examples, "Faking it Till You Make It" may work better, but overall, the work relationships that are generated from being authentic tend to be more genuine and overall the other person seems more invested in your general learning and growth.
