The APL family languages (and their users) have always fascinated me somewhat because they seemingly go against the common wisdom of what it means for a programming language or code written in it to be "readable" --- i.e. instead of the widespread notion that good code should be like English, it turns that concept around completely, treating a programming language like an actual language. APL is as foreign and unreadable to a typical Westerner as Chinese, but just like with natural langauges, you realise that there are many who have learned and are proficient at using them.

In other words, with many programming languages it's "the code is unreadable because it's not sufficiently English-like"; with APL, it's "the code is unreadable because you don't know the language."
Did you know...

Ken Thompson wrote an APL interpreter for early Research UNIX.

McIlroy:

"APL influenced the development of pipes. APL did not allow the use of operators with variants, which many utilities had at the time. It only took a willingness to throw in a new separator, the vertical bar. About four years passed, from the time they started talking about developing a new separator, to the time it happened."

6 Steps to Storytelling Your Data Like a Senior Data Scientist – Coding with Max
When we found out about Zelle (which our banks advertise) we switched to it immediately (me and my fiancée) it involved no effort on our part, just maybe telling them what our email was so other people can send us money by email. The rest was handled by our banks. If venmo can be that frictionless then I can see them taking over, but I wont bother installing venmo or giving it a shot now. I'm more likely to paypal someone funds if they don't have Zelle or Google Wallet.

I guess I fall somewhere in the 20-30 market though.
With a proper sink they are pretty convenient actually. And unlike their wall units I don't risk touching the unit accidentally.

Did you notice that the recyclers are saying that the new macbooks are difficult to recycle.

If Apple wants to continue to do this then they should be force to pay for the cost of recycling their product.

The non-repairability is imposing a real pollution cost on the rest of the world. In recent news China has decided to stop taking in the rest of the world's garbage. The toxic metals are now going to be leaching in to US water supply not just China's. Recycling/reuse/repairability has a positive economic benefit.
Whatever advantages that make consumers choose to buy it.
(2) except the blame falls on company leadership - developers are not in charge of funding teams.

Leadership funds teams that generate positive ROI. A successful bot-hunting team will likely decrease revenue... although kicking out bots makes the platform more sustainable.

It's not just social media. The same question kicks around retail sites like Amazon - why are external researchers better at identifying fraudulent reviews? Because review factories propping up shoddy Chinese imports are very profitable for Amazon. These days customer obsession is just a "nice to have".
Notebooks are not much better than copy-pasting from a notepad or editor into an interpreter. They’re great for reports, but dangerous for presenting the illusion of reproducibility.

At best you’re constantly restarting your kernel and clearing output. More likely, output from cell #7 has modified output [138] but you haven’t updated the chart produced in cell #17 (or some similar craziness). Not much better than programming with GOTOs.

“But they’re great for reporting and visualization!” you might say. If you’re building any report of value, though, it will influence important decisions. That’s the reason your code shouldn't live in a notebook. It should be in a library, covered by unit tests, so that those decisions aren’t based on faulty logic.
Vision Therapy Success Stories
I am more amazed that there is almost no version that supports English words properly. I get that APL fans are married to the terseness, but 1) it's trivial to do, all the symbols are named anyway, 2) if you're going to abandon the "custom symbols as a tool for thought" you might as well use words instead of line noise, since you have sacrificed the symbol-concept mappping, and 3) it'd be a great way to smooth the learning curve! You already have to remember what a concept is called and what it does - why impose remembering the symbol immediately?

J supposedly supports English verbs as an alternate syntax - there's a library that purports to do this - but I have never managed to make it work in the interpreter at all. It's certainly a second class citizen, if not entirely broken.

The only APL dialect that uses English words I've ever found is QNial. It's a lot of fun to program in as a result (its syntax is also cleverly compatible with s-expressions), but it's hampered primarily by the ancient interpreter and lack of bignum support.
I was wondering about that. It magically sets up an event handler and callback with the next statement? Yes please.
I believe it will be difficult in land than it is in air or water. For e.g., how dependable would be the the recognizable features, especially in lesser known roads. Without that if the vehicle narrowly misses a road (could be due to a new road coming up or slight mismatch in the map or a temporary diversion) then the direction and distance would quickly become useless as it can't place itself anymore in the maps. Human beings can use their intuition or ask someone to correct themselves, but it would be very sophisticated to implement on a self driving machine.
Twitter has a much higher cost for false positives. If 1% of the accounts this article thought were bots were actually legitimate, no big deal. If Twitter banned that 1%, that's ten thousand pissed off people.

Also, bot makers don't care about fooling the New York Times, they care about fooling Twitter. If Twitter applied this analysis, the bot makers would adapt to it. It only looks like it works until you start to use it.
I'm really less interested in speed though. I want to optimize for file transfer bandwidth. Going all mobile data for a week has shown me two problems. JS has severely bloated websites, and staying up to date with software patches is expensive. In both cases, the amount of new material being transferred is very low. A point update on a JS library or patch is a few lines change, but we must download the entire library again. Compounding this for JS is every site using the same libs are sending the same data, because of browser origin policies. One way around that is CDNs, but then you are submitting to a centralized point of failure/spying.

Sending the whole file again is the easiest route for developers, but the most expensive for mobile only cord cutters.

Really? Why is Grendel characterized as "evil" and a "fiend in hell"? Why does Beowulf exemplify traits of courage, bravery, and self-sacrifice? Why is Beowulf already famous for his "good" and "glorious" deeds?

I was re-reading the intro, and ran into this gem[1]:

Totally forgot about this literal reference to Cain (of Cain and Abel fame). I mean, you're about as wrong as wrong gets.

There are a wide variety of life courses exhibited in the natural world, when plotting mortality risk over time. The human early start on an exponential increase is just one of them. Flies that reach a mortality risk plateau in late life is another - they just stop aging, they don't get any more damaged in ways that cause mortality than they already are. More complex organisms don't seem to exhibit this phenomenon, but the data for humans is pretty sparse at the ages of interest.

Naked mole rats and humans age for the same underlying reasons, the same types of accumulated damage. The difference in outcomes in terms of the shape of the mortality curve no doubt has to do with quality of repair mechanisms and resilience to particular forms of damage. Naked mole rats have less error-prone DNA replication, repair, and protein manufacture processes, a lack of lingering senescent cells pumping out inflammatory and destructive signals, a mitochondrial composition that is more resilient to oxidative stress (and they have plenty of oxidative damage, judging from the usual markers, they just seem to shrug it off; it doesn't cause further problems). The net result of this is that they do pretty well then fall off a cliff at the end.

It is interesting to speculate on what the cliff might be, a high threshold of damage needed to break an important repair mechanism, or a slowly accumulating form of damage that only really hurts the mole-rat at high levels, for example, but this is probably not very relevant to human medicine.

We know why humans age. We know what the damage is. We don't need to poke around in other species for further illumination in order to make progress towards rejuvenation - we won't learn anywhere near as much as we will from selective repair of the damage in humans or in mammals that are similar to humans. We don't need to improve human damage repair systems (comparatively hard) when we can repair damage (comparatively easy). It clearly takes a few decades for pathological levels of damage to arise, which gives plenty of time to deal with it through periodic applications of therapy, given a working repair biotechnology.

The comparative biology of aging is pure science, unlikely to produce meaningful applications of medicine when compared with other courses of action.
So you are saying that we should treat entire classes of modern people differently based on the events involving ancestors with similar superficial characteristics like skin color and sex.

Your excuse is "history."

I know of some other groups who have engaged in that sort of ideology. One is the KKK. The other is the Nazis. Also, the Soviets all throughout the USSR, particularly in Ukraine.

Not doing this is essentially breaking someone's leg before a sprint, and when they lose and they say "Wow, that was super unfair!" we say "Wow you had the same rules! What are you upset about? That whole leg breaking thing happened a _long time ago_"

You are super ignorant of history, because you are buying into a far-left propaganda version of history used to justify inter-group conflict. If slavery is leg breaking, then also note that Koreans have been doing it to Koreans, Europeans have been doing it to Europeans, Africans have been doing it to fellow Africans. If there has been a lot of leg breaking going on, the solution is to stop the leg breaking, not engage in recriminations about it.

Since when have recriminations been the solution to peace in history?

For the longest time, spammers and fake accounts on Twitter were just a name with a long ass random number on the end. I guess that particular cancer hit a local optimum where Twitter was pumping its numbers aka misleading the shareholders.
Um, by definition, all of them? I feel like I'm being trolled here.
How did they get this data?
Economy and culture must grow together for healthy society to develop and thrive. The "A" is crucial in that respect. My opinion.
In reusable mode (with all 3 cores recovered), they will barely hit 18 or so tons to GTO, and probably just barely more than D-IVH (~7000kr or so) to direct GEO insertion.

Much more when expended, but not so much when reused.

Could still launch double shots of heavy comsats as Ariane 5 launch heavy + light, though.
Those are still repairable with the right equipment (SMD/BGA rework station) and training. The hard part is getting access to schematics (to diagnose which part is bad) and spare parts.
4) It's not hard to identify bots with 95% accuracy, which is good enough for reporting, but you need 99.9% accuracy in order to delete their accounts or else too many genuine accounts will be wrongly terminated.
The author doesn't describe the most reliable indicator of new opportunity, which is economic change. Change can come in the form of shifting demographics, new tech, or new product adoption. These are the events that increase demand or decrease cost for a new product opportunity. They should be where you direct your attention.

From the third sentence in the article:

I know I'm not supposed to say 'Did you read the article?', so I won't say that.
Not correct calculation, as FH may be $85M only when reusing all 3 cores, for a big payload penalty.
It has nothing to do with dems vs gop. The group of people in charge of anything jealously guard their turf.

> a monster problem.

A monster - literally evil personified in semi human form. You can't really get more good guys Vs bad guys than that.
The interesting thing, to me, is that the original Star Wars stick out to me as not being pointedly good guy versus bad guy. There is villainy, but the main arch that sticks out is not Luke versus the villain, but Luke versus the way of the villain. He does not defeat the emperor and the "not Jedi." Instead, he finds the Jedi path and acts as an example that redeems his father.

I'd go so far as to say he even rejected the jedi teachings in the original story. They were teaching that Vader had to be defeated by him. And that his attachment to his friends was a bad thing. He manages to win, despite not following the directions of his teachers. Yoda literally disappeared right after telling him he has to confront and defeat Vader. Something Luke throws away his saber while doing.
When I first met Ted, ca. 1991 or 1992, he was indeed doing most of the Xanadu work on his houseboat in Sausalito. But Autodesk was also in Sausalito, just down the road, so Ted was definitely in the neighborhood, if not exactly in the building.

There was some amount of coding happening at the houseboat, though I have a vague recollection (which may be wrong) that Roger Gregory might have done much of his work offsite -- at his house? -- and then come to the houseboat for meetings.

I saw Ted perhaps a year later and it was definitely in his office at the Autodesk facility. He had quite a nice lab there, and an assistant.
Nor have we been lulled by Soma and subliminal brain programming into a hazy acquiescence to pervasive social hierarchies.

It seems to me that there may be a more benign explanation: Facebook/Twitter/etc are in a large-scale, iterative, adversarial game with many opponents.

It might be relatively easy for humans to catch clusters of fake followers, but that doesn’t scale. If you try to create heuristics to catch the fake folllowers, the adeversaries will try to adapt. If you try to learn rules, you can update your heuristics faster, but you need trading data, your adversaries could learn too, and adversaries could try to do data poisoning attacks.

It seems like a really tricky situation for Facebook and Twitter.
> If Twitter applied this analysis, the bot makers would adapt to it.

The problem with the arms-race argument here is that it implies that just because an arms race is inevitable that the only acceptable course of action is total capitulation. Twitter is bigger than any of the botters, and if it wanted it could raise the cost of entry of botting high enough that nobody would be able to afford the bots in any quantity large enough to make a difference. They just simply don't want to.

(As for false positives, I've seen plenty of people whose accounts were suspended for reasons unclear to them; Twitter seems to care very little whether its captive userbase is pissed off or not.)

> Nowadays if you want to have your protagonists shooting at their enemies or hitting them with sharp bits of metal you basically have to choose between a good-vs-evil narrative or having only anti-heroes rather than plain heroes (and both choices are now common).

Or you need story-telling that capitalizes on information deficit differences.

A good kind of story arc i've seen recently is having the protagonist do things in what looks like a basic good/evil conflict, then learn that the situation was different than it looked like (ranging from "the 'evil guys' were misguided but good-at-heart" to "protagonist was wrong and unwittingly fucking everything up"), then focus on how that aftermath is handled as the actual primary story.

And depending on how much "screen time" you have available, you can also keep expanding this and go through various twists and turns and kinds of information deficits without ever having to delve into actual thought-less "they're good/evil" stuff as you zoom out in scope.
Notebooks (and this command-line ebook) assume that the input data is static (i.e. an ad-hoc analysis) which is a more typical use case.

Dynamic data/reporting is a different thing entirely, at which point things like business intelligence software and dashboards come into play, and outside the scope of a command line anyways.
de-identified is the key word here. That's how they attained the data in a HIPAA compliant way.

Yes there are problems with combining that data with other datasets to re-identify. Google would be in a rather good place to do that.
Here's why I advise extreme caution when partnering up if you're a programmer:

If you have a co-founder or co-hacker that goes postal, off on their own, acting shady, behaving badly, for whatever reason, you're lost at sea. If you don't have a safety net or savings in place to catch you, you're going to be living on the street. Thanks to someone else.

You can't control other people. Your co-whatever could become a saboteur. The reasons why and how don't matter, it's about the ramification on your life and how deeply it reverberates.

If that's the only thing you have going - your life is wrecked. You're humiliated by being kicked out of what you created. You have to start over, with an added penalty to all your family you can't support, your networking in tatters, and so on. Make no mistake - have a co-founder - you're one person away from having collateral damage done to your life.

And they'll probably make the company tank afterwards. The main reason a co-founder was there was to keep each other's ideas/egos/visions/whatever in-check. Without that personality mechanism in place, the business is rudderless.

So consider me a skeptic to this whole idea of sharing when I coded everything without safeguards in place for myself. That's the exact opposite reason I run my own thing. This is the one thing where I get control.

If you got cash stashed away somehow, or other cash flow sources, you're in a safer spot to take your chances with a co-founder and bounce back should stuff hit the fan.
And call to update servers?
At the least, disclosure.

I contacted an e-chum who is a lawyer specialising in the field of IT, IP and media law [0]. He pointed me back to Article 17 of the Regulation, Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'), which is contained in [1].

This states that:

"The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay ... where .. the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based..."

Paul also expressed the view that: "It’s certainly been written in a way that should require systems to be created to allow for the deletion of personal data, though!"

That intent is key here. Basically: if someone asks you to remove their data and you refuse (or fudge, etc.), then don't be surprised if the EU comes knocking.

How long until advertisers get in on this? For example: imagine that Facebook shows me a video of my friends and I having the time of our lives at a casino: winning the jackpot, eating great food, relaxing by the pool, etc. It’s entirely convincing but I, try and I might, I can’t remember when the trip took place. That’s because the video was actuslly an ad for that casino generated from our profile data

Or perhaps companies will start offering services that let you fake trips for social media. For just $25, they create videos of you having the trip of a lifetime anywhere in the world (basically a modern version of Mr. and Mrs. Everywhere from Stand on Zanzibar)
