It's rare that a statement as stark and simplistic as "doesn't make the cut" applies. Usually there are deeper issues to consider.

Start by inviting them to comment on the job environment and responsibilities they've been given. If they demonstrate lack of understanding of the latter, or provide comments that differ remarkably from other reports' and your own personal knowledge of the former, then you're either wearing rose colored glasses about the quality of the environment and/or the employee is laboring without sufficient guidance (i.e. management is poor), or else they're just not "getting it".

In the former case, determine if this deficiency can be remedied in a timely manner. If it can't, deeper problems exist in the organization: seriously consider that other employees might need the "termination treatment." In the latter case, dive deeper to find out why their performance is not up to your standards: if it can be rectified allow appropriate time to do so, otherwise terminate their employment.

The correct way to do that is in person, in a private setting (e.g. manager's office or meeting room), with a severance package ready and appropriate consideration for the professional future of the employee: that they aren't a fit at your organization should not be something that diminishes their ability to make a living elsewhere, where it may be a better fit.

To expand on eref's comment a little: you absolutely could apply this or MCTS to ALE (and Guo et al 2014 did it very nicely). After all, the ALE is deterministic and simulatable by definition, so of course you can explore the game tree and reset the simulation as necessary. But people aren't much interested in this approach because using the ALE as a 'simulator' is cheating as far as testing full-strength AI techniques (we don't have simulators of the real world, after all), and the ALE games themselves (unlike Go) are of little intrinsic interest so there's no real benefit to engaging in cheating.

It comes down to not wanting to do WP work, so I charge a lot when someone wants it.

I don't know what this book argues specifically, but the problem of color is very much a special case of the problem of qualia. If one takes a presumptuous and shallow view of science, one might be inclined to accept Galileo's characterization of color. However, that's just an accident of history and not the result of having comprehended some essential scientific fact concerning color. The invention and subsequent consignment of qualia (here, color) to conscious experience is the consequence not of scientific discovery, but of a metaphysics -- and a deeply flawed metaphysics at that -- that has been lurking in our thinking since Galileo and Descartes. That metaphysics proposes that the world is composed of two kinds of substances, namely, the material res extensa (things extended in space) and the immaterial res cogitans (for all intents and purposes, minds). What can not be attributed to res extensa (e.g., color) is attributed to minds, so really, when physicists talk about color, they are not speaking of color in conformity with the common understanding of color, but in terms of a redefinition of color.

The problem of qualia comes into play most especially when a materialist metaphysical position is accepted of the kind where the immaterial res cogitans is denied. The materialist is then faced with the task of explaining how all of that which was attributed to minds (e.g., color) -- and indeed minds themselves -- is really something that can be attributed to res extensa. The kicker is, of course, that you can't, at least not without radically reforming how you understand matter. It is by definition impossible to locate color in matter given a Cartesian understanding of matter. Many physicists, in their more philosophical moments, tacitly accept a metaphysical position of that kind.

What's important is that the modern understanding of color, one that attributes it to consciousness rather than things, is not a scientific position. It is a metaphysical position and a very problematic one that is running its course as philosophers and scientists try helplessly and in vain to explain things like consciousness and the objects of consciousness.

This could all be taken care of if the internet would be classified as a utility like the telephone services.

It solves the problem I was directly replying to:

> I like the ability to make a big, complex change and checkpoint stable portions (subsets) of the work as I go.

However, it does not replace all use cases of the staging area, which is why I gave it only as an example.

Of course, `commit --amend` with `-p` could solve your problem as well.

Alternatively, “create a new, 'pending’ commit, without a commit message, don’t point HEAD to it yet, and change most of the commit-related commands to modify this commit until it is finalized” also solves all the use cases of the staging area, because that is what the staging area is, but it is presented in a much more confusing way and ends up being yet another new concept for git beginners to grasp.

Jim Simons is a super interesting person, which makes this a very interesting read. What doesn't is the writing.

"Simons has an air of being both pleased with himself and ready to be pleased by others. He dresses in expensive cabana wear: delicate cotton shirts paired with chinos that are hiked high and held up by an Indian-bead belt. He grew up in the suburbs of Boston, and speaks with the same light Massachusetts accent as Michael Bloomberg, with frequent pauses and imprecisions. He sometimes uses the words “et cetera” instead of finishing a thought, perhaps because he is abstracted, or because he has learned that the intricacies of his mind are not always interesting to others, or because, when you are as rich as Simons, people always wait for you to finish what you are saying"

Gawd, that was awful.

There is a rigorous notion about how well an irrational can be approximated by a rational, related to its continued fraction representation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction ). I'm having trouble finding a better description than the note in that WP page, but the idea is if the cf representation has a "surprisingly large" value, then the rational number you get by truncating the sequence there will be a very good approximation, like 355/133 is for pi (see the comment in https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/435668/finding-the-...).
I used fish twice for about a year each time, but I keep switching back to zsh, because:

* The main things I like about fish are predictive history completion and syntax highlighting, both of which work about the same with a pair of zsh plugins;

* The syntax occupies what is, for me, an awkward middle ground: it's a bit better than POSIX syntax if POSIX shells didn't exist, but not enough better that I care to juggle the two syntaxes;

* I don't like that fish tries to be "helpful" in certain cases such as lying to you about the delimeter actually used by $PATH.

I have a couple of specific gripes about the syntax, which aren't really inherent issues so much as unimplemented features.

I think if I was going to deviate from a POSIX shell, the alternative would have to be more better than fish to be worth it.

You just made an excellent argument for starting to enforce antitrust laws again. But not a very good argument for net neutrality. (And Title II actually exempts ISPs from FTC regulation.)

We need to fix antitrust. Of course, one of the biggest sponsors of every net neutrality-supporting website on the Internet (Google) doesn't want to fix antitrust. This is why net neutrality regulations are carefully designed not to apply to tech companies, and why things like the old ISP privacy rules that were repealed solely targeted ISPs. (When states tried to reimplement those privacy rules, but including tech companies, Google, obviously, came out strongly against them.)

Which is why Comcast slowing a competitor is a mortal sin, but Google's websites not working on Firefox (or them outright blocking Amazon devices) is no big deal, legislatively.

Let's get the FTC back to what it was built for: Breaking up companies like Ma Bell and El Goog.
The real answer is Arthur Whitney is a god-like being with coding powers beyond the mortal realm. Seriously though they're a lot of stories of his excellent work if you search for them. He's supposedly working on kOS so you can run kdb+ on bare metal. Tiny, fast code is what he does. Sure it might look incomprehensible, but it is a few pages of code he can store in his brain at once. Aaron Hsu (someone has some links to his HN posts on here) explains this with his compiler which converts APL to GPU code. His entire compiler (which he has worked on for a long time) is a handful of pages. He says something like "there's no need for an abstraction if I can see everything at once". Most programming languages have implementations that are very long...which do you think has less bugs? Steve McConnals Code Complete has a statistic somewhere on bugs per 100 loc. That doesn't leave a lot of room in Arthur's code base (although you could say his code being so terse makes it an apples to oranges comparison I guess).
I'd say there's no point just framing your site in a native container, but it's still viable to use webviews where it makes sense. Particularly if you're just delivering loads of static content.

>I think it's fair to say climate models are modelling a very complex, near chaotic, system.

That's exactly the point. I don't think we should be pumping carbon (or any other adulterants) in to our environment. But remaining skeptical of the claims of climatologists who can't reliably predict the weather 5 days into the future while claiming the ability to definitively predict the weather 5 years (and longer) into the future does not make you a "climate change denier". I have very little doubt that the destruction we are wreaking on the environment (of which carbon pollution is a tiny part) will end poorly for us. Its fine to speculate on how exactly this blowback will manifest itself but hubris to claim to know with certainty.
There some answer is because different applications require different latencies. VoIP and video conferencing, for example, have hard latency requirements that even other high bandwidth activities like viewing YouTube or Netflix do not.

As a user, I would prefer if my video calls are the highest priority, whereas I wouldn't care if my YouTube videos downloaded in batches in the background, as long as I didn't encounter buffering.
It would be neat to have a mesh topology that uses the bandwidth and redundancy of multiple fence paths in order to prevent an outage from damage to any one particular fence. Solar-powered routers anyone?

Why are Litecoin's transaction fees multiple orders of magnitude smaller than Bitcoin's? Is this a result of genuinely better technical decisions than in Litecoin (mining is cheaper because it's less hardware-friendly, blocks are generated more quickly) or just lower transaction volume / demand for transactions because it's less well-known? That is, if Bitcoin somehow implodes tomorrow and everyone moves to Litecoin, would you still expect similarly low Litecoin fees?

Was this an on-chain transaction or a Lightning transaction?

Yes, it is technically true that it is the current that disrupts the heart rhythm. Theoretically, a 9v battery can supply enough current to cause a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia, if it's shorted through a person's blood. But it's also being pedantic.

Consider Ohm's Law: `I = V/R`. Why is it so frequently printed in this way, rather than the simpler `IR = V`? If we don't care about simplicity, why not `V = I/R`? What is special about `I = V/R`?

Resistance--be it your work load or your human fleshy bits--is usually roughly considered a constant--or at least a known--for a given application. And most power sources that you'll encounter in the wild are voltage-controlled and able to supply practically as much current as you want (aka "more than enough to kill you"). So Voltage is the independent variable, leaving Current to be the dependent variable.

While it is true that "it's the current that gets ya", it's the voltage over which we have control, so we tend to focus on that instead.
Did you see Shin Gojira which he directed?

He wants ISPs not to be permitted to discriminate between network traffic based on its content or the identities of the senders and recipients.

He also wants a standard way for web browsers to receive and display encrypted media.

The issue, I think is not about net neutrality laws. It is the lack of competition between ISPs. And this is what the government should enforce, for example by requiring established ISPs to rent their lines at a reasonable price and make access to utility poles easier.

In countries where there is competition, there is no need for net neutrality laws, because people don't want arbitrary restrictions, and they will naturally vote for net neutrality with their wallets.

Furthermore, net neutrality rules don't solve every problem, because it doesn't deal with peering. For example if an ISP is also a content provider, they can connect their servers directly to their backbone, it will be fast. But their competitor isn't, which mean traffic will have to go through the global internet, which can result in congestion. Effectively having a fast lane without explicitly violating net neutrality: they don't discriminate traffic, they just deploy their network following their best interests.

I'm not saying that it is a bad idea to enforce net neutrality, but IMHO, the priority should be to restore competition.
