Your theory does not take into account pretty normal human psychology and biology, both male and female. No, you can not communicate away resentment over what is rationally speaking unfair situation. It will not go away when you set expectations (and actually only one of partners is in position to set expectations), those can only prevent you speak which has tendency to just bottle things up.

Yes, it feels good to be provider especially if you provide out of job you love and are successful in. It makes you feel important, capable, like you matters and so on and so forth. That is why even rich people don't want to retire all that much. Of course, you don't consider that women might like that feeling too. Or at least dislikes feeling like dependent lazy incapable freeloader - which can be her own feeling independent of what man does (meaning not caused by his bad actions).

If you however has to work long hours in job you dislike with boss that treats you like disposable dirt, pretty normal situation in bad economy, while actually capable adult person who depend on you watch tv/call with friends/does some hobby, then certain amount of resentment is absolutely normal human psychology. And this does not even have much solution, because if she starts to work, she is endangering his masculinity.

Men happen to be human, which is not the same as idealized saints with zero consideration about themselves. But also practically speaking, even this discussion has men resentful over "loosing half of his money" in case of divorce in traditional family. And past stereotypes about women are full of what is basically resentment over the above.

From the female side, in the rosy view she is allowed to do as she please - except being truly useful or achiever. It is fine to watch tv or do some home embroidery, but the real full focus on success endangers his pride and his status of provider.

The feminism of 1960 did not happened because women were going against their biology. It happened because our biology and psychology has deep build in need to be useful, do something real, not just hang around coffee whole day. In other words, adult women need to be adults and cant be happy living as children. It was first time when large enough portion of population really did not needed that much home work, did not needed to sew their own cloth, did not needed to earn money (lower classes and peasants needed that always), cooking took much less time and so did shopping. And quite a lot of them were not happy and were quite vocal about that.

They were not possessed by aliens nor on drugs. It was their psychology and biology in action, making themselves heard.

I still love WordPress. It's one of the biggest open source projects. It's one of the few major tech companies who's CEO will post to HN.

The famous 5-minute install is still by far the simplest I've seen.

It has by far the widest use of translating.

If you love your tech then sure install something else, but if you just want to blog then WordPress is your friend.

But similar to using Windows you do indeed have to be careful because of it's popularity so it's a target.

Almost entirely it's the plugins that are the problem. Just be careful with those.
I recently got a few pairs of glasses from the most common optical retailer with their best lenses (Ray Ban Rox Plus in sunglasses and BlueIQ in the regular ones). I have a light single vision prescription (about -1.5 sphere and -1 cyl in each eye) but still, I find these are not very good lenses -- I see plenty of chromatic aberration on the sides (I guess they're both made from polycarbonate where I'm more used to getting CR39 plastic) and they both appear to have other abberrations in the plastic that I can see when I pass different parts of the lens in front of my eye.

As a photographer, I'm really interested in having excellent optics in front of my eyes, but I don't know how to achieve it. I agree with the comments above -- it's sucky that you have to make full .25 incremental jumps, and that the axis for astigmatism is still determined by me having to say "1" looks better than "2" and "3" looks better than "4", all done with antiquated equipment manually operated when it should all be readable right off the retina.

Couple this with high pressure salesmanship and no transparency at all about the lenses and it is obvious why it's so hard for the consumer to get this right.

Yesterday I learned that Sam's Club offers Nikon, Zeiss and Seiko lenses. Some of my favorite glasses I got in Japan for $80 and they included standard Seikos with UV protection and great AR coating.
Note that alertness checks are (somewhat) effective in commercial aviation because the industry AND the pilots accept them as normal.

A big ship will have BNWAS, which is supposed to alert everybody else in crew quarters (e.g. officers asleep) if the officer on the bridge (who should be actively controlling it) doesn't do anything for a prolonged period and doesn't respond to a local warning alarm.

When there's an accident investigation with suspicious circumstances like a collision in an otherwise empty region in the middle of a calm dark night, almost invariably either the BNWAS was "mistakenly" switched off, or its mandatory logging was "mistakenly" erased or turns out never to have been enabled at all. Why? Because the alarm is annoying and there's no acceptance by owners, masters or crews that it's keeping them alive and so they must use it, so they switch it off, muffle the alarms or otherwise disable it and then, inevitably, someone falls asleep and an accident happens.

Similar tech in private cars would, I think we have to assume, end up just like BNWAS on big freighters, disabled because it was annoying. Sometimes nobody would survive the accident to cover up the fact it was disabled, but that's cold comfort.
Do you have any recommendations on learning Prolog with the goal of writing practical/real type systems? Ideally a book that has runnable example programs?

MCTS has always been popular and probably the best online/out-of-the-box MDP technique. But fundamentally its different than RL methods. In MCTS you assume you have a perfect simulation of the MDP which is rarely true outside of games. MCTS also doesnt really have a learning phase.

> My intuition is that MCTS is better for planning, but takes longer to train/evaluate.

There is no training phase in MCTS, rollouts can take a while, its important to have a fast simulator and rollout policy (like random/UCT).

> Is there some games one will work better than the other?

Games with simulators and perfect information!
Just razing you a bit. Nice tutorial. Node.js/Lambda was my entrance into Alexa Skills. Which took me down a serverless rabbit hole.
You are right. I forgot about the visible planets. They didn't come to my mind since I've rarely seen them since I've only lived in light-polluted cities all my life.
It has been a while since I read the paper, but I believe they have some results where they ran AlphaZero without MCTS, using only the policy network. My recollection is that is still performed pretty well, but it was clearly outperformed by MCTS.
Yes, I agree, but there's still a humongous difference in scale - backchannels are not public posts, and "trolls" / harassers picking up on public information are different from "trolls" / harassers with direct connections to people with information on their targets.

"Both sides did it" isn't a defense (both sides can be wrong), and it's definitely not a defense if one side is doing it to a much larger and more organized scale than the other, and the other side is generally trying to do the right thing and happens to have some outside trolls who are being misguidedly sympathetic to the cause.
It's not even about deskilling. I raced road bikes for years and in large part drive like I rode: highly defensive (bordering on aggressive as I've been lectured by LEOs). I commuted for years in my roadster with a manual transmission & power steering set for the track where I'm highly engaged as I can feel every crack in the road and the car can accelerate to unholy speeds in seconds. When I drive our sedan, it's boring and I find my mind drifting. If I turn on assisted cruise control, it's mind numbingly boring and on any long drive I'm guaranteed to fall asleep so I don't use it anymore because it's too dangerous.

Without being engaged in the act of driving, without the adrenaline, I switch off. This is the key problem I suspect everyone at some level suffers from wether they want to admit it or not. Even awake, on full autopilot I suspect most people are in full-on daydream mode.

> Why didn't they say "Bigots should be fired?". By inserting race or gender into the statement, you're singling out a group as being the only offenders.

IIRC, there's bit social justice ideology that essentially says that only white people can be bigots. I believe the typical formulation is "racism = power + prejudice." "Power" in this context is a function of your race and other identities, for instance white people axiomatically have "power" but black people don't. This assignment of "power" doesn't change based on context, so if your boss is black and you are white, you're still the one with "power." Therefore, by this "logic," a black person can't be racist because he lacks "power." An identical procedure is applied men an women with sexism.

There is another related social justice idea that you should "never punch down, always punch up." In this context "up" are those with "power" (again, assigned by fixed formula based on race, etc.). The act of "punching up," by the people who think this way, has connotations of "fighting for good," and "punching down" with "oppression."

Combining these ideas, "white men" are the most "powerful" and therefore can and should be "punched" in the name of social justice. This is one source of the gratuitous negative references to "white men," and associated hostility to them, that you see in social justice circles.

IMHO, these are pretty screwed up ideas, and they're a recipe for polarization (and bullying) and not progress. Unfortunately people do believe them and think this way.
I feel like there is a legitimate market for "the old ways" (TM).

Social media is "great", in the same way that the invention of alcohol was "great" - the bad part of it is that it is literally designed to drive clicks and addict us, and we have no way of turning it off (temporarily) that we can't just switch right back on (yes, I have seen all your handy scripts and tricks).

You know what was awesome about walking into a brick and mortar building and buying a piece of software? It almost certainly would not contain a virus due to the prohibitive cost of getting it on a shelf, and it was not flogged to a state of near-death by app store restrictions. Yeah we killed some trees, and we liked it that way! (shakes fist at sky).

Writing impressive code used to be a highly valued skill, limited to the few who put in the time to piecing together arcane knowledge. Now we are just surfing on the backs of giants and locked into their ecosystems. So long as you can write a laggy javascript app and google how to do something you are safe in this world. (shakes fist at sky again, why not)

You can just say that there should be no personal attacks, people should be civil to each other, and nothing that a reasonable person would construe as racism or harassment. This is similar to the rules on wikipedia, and it works very well there.

The problem is that there is a small minority of people who don't/can't see things from other people's perspectives, so they either make blatantly offensive comments without realising it, or they get offended and their feelings hurt when no reasonable person would have taken a comment to be offensive.

Perhaps there could be a peer-based mediation panel within Google to make non-binding, non-public rulings on these cases without them going to HR (if both parties agree on the outcome). If these panels were make up of reasonable people (think wikipedia admins), then it might work quite well.
The point is there's now one more person in the world who knows C++, which is better than there being one less person in the world who knows it. The fewer people who learn these systems, the fewer people there will be available to innovate/maintain these things going forward.

Entire trades are facing slow extinction for lack of people who bothered to learn. Almost 3/4 of electrical or electronics repairmen are over 45 years old, and 30% of them are over 55 years old [1].

24-72 hours is common from my experience, but that likely varies widely and depends on volume and resources.

If you're running this in the cloud and properly automated everything, and its not a billing issue, responding and fixing things could be as simple as a few hours.

If you're running your own physical machine, repair times for hardware issues can be days.

If you're on vacation for a week or longer, and are making a concerted effort to step away from technology and lines of communication, or worse hit by a small bus and in the hospital for any length of time, you may not be aware of issues for some time.

That sounds like a pretty big deal to me.
There was also a risk, with things like mod_php and the like, that a user could hit your app in the middle of an upgrade. Commonly in those days (for many, not all), the app was tied rather tightly to the webserver. That is no longer the norm, it's more typical to reverse proxy to an app server or something like that.

And sure, staging then copying everything would be faster and safer than deploying straight on top of the old version, but that's still a not-insignificant amount of time when the app is in a transient, partially-upgraded state. And that would only get worse as your app grew.

I suppose to way around that would be to deploy twice and use a load balancer that you could temporarily disable, upgrade one deployment, point the load balancer only to there, upgrade the other one, then re-enable load balancing between them.

Man, that's a lot of work, though.

I'll agree that maybe it's a relatively minor complaint, because there are likely plenty of solutions I just never needed to find, but I really do like avoiding anything that can and should be avoided. I'd rather have a "Please wait while we upgrade" page than risking something going south due to some kind of race condition.

Was skiing more fun or laid back in the 70-80s? It seems that way from most of the videos I watch. Lots of comments on the Warren films I watched are saying it's gotten far too serious these days and people aren't letting go and having fun on the slopes (besides maybe the 'extreme' guys doing jumps but even they are working hard on a skill)... I'm not much of a skier, but I got that impression myself the few times I went.

I've run my own mail server since probably 1998 or so. I have had a few problems here and there, but nothing major. The worst is when the power goes out, but smtp has a wonderful resend feature when the destination server isn't responding.

I know my emails aren't being farmed from the NSA (at least from my side). I know Google isn't scanning all my emails to sell me garbage. I know it won't be shut down because of some errant algorithm. I have a really short email address. I can setup family and friends easily. I can send newsletters without having to deal with someone else's policies (on my side anyway). I love it.

I do exactly that with a /links.html page. Unfortunately it requires js because it's just pulling in my latest shares from Pinboard. (But the link to that page gets added to the navigation with js, so non-js user agents don't see the link to it.) Pinboard provides a RSS feed I can link to for my shares as well.

I've been thinking about moving from Pinboard and setting something up myself and compiling it into my site's static html instead of syndicating from a third-party.

Or, perhaps, some people are truly terrified to be away from their smartphones. That is itself a scary thought.

If a person's smartphone is removed from the picture for some reason, how would they be able to function? If the cell network went down, would the crowd descend into mindless chaos? There are no more pay phones, no more cozy landlines, so how would people manage if there were an emergency?
"I'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership."

To be clear, I don't think Damore is a member of the alt-right, nor do I think that Damore planned to disrupt anything at Google.

I believe there are lots of other people at Google doing this, though, on purpose.
