Slightly unrelated, but since this seems to be the primary motive behind an Apple Watch(notification improvements), I'm curious how your workflow works out for you?

Yes. Fantasy football is Dungeons & Dragons for jocks - and I mean that in the most loving way possible, having become "a jock" as an adult, and that's where much of my current friend pool comes from.
I wish peanut butter would be more popular in France. Nutella is basically the breakfast AND the break of 4PM for millions of people here. This country is addicted to sugar.
The header inclusion model (where you will be textually including hundreds of thousand lines of random code in a translation unit) doesn't make it easy to have version flags.

Also many of the issues are intrinsic to the way the language has evolved (the template compilation model for example), it is not just a matter of deprecating a few features here and there (although that might help)

The Outline: real good journalism for the 21st century

The Verge: good for tech updates, but kind of click baity. I have a love/hate relationship with it.

Polygon: sister site of Verge about video games, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously, so I like it more.

Scientific American: makes scientific papers (mostly about philosophy and the mind) really accessible. They seem to try too hard to be trendy though (eg: recent articles on BTC).

Hacker News: less for actual news and more for well articulated opinions on the news. Favorite site to visit after an Apple keynote.

They are treating people differently depending on their age. How is that not literally age discrimination?

Something can be discrimination even if you don't feel bad about it, and conversely you don't need to feel about something just because it's discrimination.

A degree in philosophy is at least as helpful as any other degree in many jobs where having a degree matters while the specifics don’t.

And, yes, there are many such jobs: consulting (McKinsey, BCG,..), finance, politics (not just elected, but staff), journalism, etc.
A more accurate way of looking at this is that the government is incentivizing a desirable behavior by matching a portion of any money a person contributes to the common good. You have to give up some of your own after-tax wealth to get the govt to kick in 20-30%. Since an individual is mostly putting their own money into the charity, they will want to maximize their good feelings by chosing a charity that adds a lot to the common good. And this is especially true for people who make large gifts.

...At least for the US tax system(where this gift was made)

Ctrl+F the article for "hash". What Luhn invented was a checksum, one that is apparently still used today in IMEIs (among other things), but the article says nothing about him furthering checksums into hash functions (and there is quite a distinction). Sure, a hash function can hardly be invented without going through the checksum stage, but it's like saying the person who discovered there's oil in the ground invented cars just because he laid the foundation.
Yes this is clearly not age discrimination, just the prejudicial treatment of different categories of people on the grounds of age.
I interpreted it to mean that the resulting price was nothing special but that the Nutella was perceived as cheap due to "anchoring". Could be wrong in that though

Tinder depends on both network effects to become a market leader and overall gender asymmetry to create a network that is very valuable to those who are looking for a match. Those other examples may use network effects, but they don't exploit the overall gender asymmetry to the same extent, making the comparison between the services weak. It's fine if you disagree, but to many people, that $20/month may be worth it if it improves their odds of finding someone.
Yes, that's why there's laws concerning it.
This is absolutely is, literally, age discrimination. I think you're confusing "not discrimination" with "not illegal," "not uncommon," "not something I personally care about," or "not something I personally think should be illegal."

The real question/issue is is it illegal discrimination? Something can be discrimination but not illegal discrimination.

Attack Targets Automatic Speech Recognition Systems – Motherboard
Exactly.

There have been plenty of from-scratch languages that are designed as a better C++. Many have died, of those left no one has yet gained significant traction [1].

It is not clear why yet another an incompatible language would be better just because it happens to be called C++. The effort would be better spent on improving one of the existing alternatives.

[1] Plenty of newer languages have had breakaway success, but no language that is meant to be a full C++ replacement has yet. D has passed peak hype without a breakout. Rust might still make it, we will see.
I think it may be the degree in those cases.
Dr. Judith Curry is one of them. She's a Georgia Tech professor wrote the book Climate Models for the Layman.

Here's also a somewhat more editorialized report about the recent adjustments/recalibrations to the Remote Sensing Lower Troposphere Data:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlnwhcO5NC0

I don't like some of the political/Orwellian stuff he goes into in the beginning, but the remote sensing data is interesting to me as I'm currently working on a project to get soil moisture data in Ethiopia to use it to re-calibrate satellite (remote sensing) data.

I've also talked to some farming/loan startups that talk about data variability in remote sensing data and accuracy problems. There's a lot of current climate change work that directly depends on RSS data.

In what context, and a plus over what other degrees? I don't agree that it's a plus unless the candidate has double majored in a relevant degree, or did a philosophy BSc. and a relevant MSc afterwards.

If I were reviewing applications for a software engineering role, I would primarily prioritize computer science and electrical engineering degrees, then secondarily mathematics and physics degrees. Of the subset without a degree in STEM, I'd probably weight philosophy higher than some alternatives, but they still wouldn't have priority unless their professional experience was more impressive than other candidates.

I was initially a philosophy major during my undergrad (up to and including 300 and 400 level courses in Kant). I don't think philosophy degrees are a useful signal to compare against more targeted degrees. They can certainly teach logical and abstract thinking; however, at at the default level of effort I've observed, most students do not graduate a philosophy degree with significant enough critical thinking skills to overcome the sheer amount of domain knowledge they're missing by not having studied computer science. And it gets difficult to specify exactly what it would look like for a philosophy major to make up for the lack of computer science education by having superlative reasoning ability, if that's the case.

Ideally you want a student who demonstrated that they put significant effort into their academic work, enough to intellectually grasp it, apply it and reason about it. If you have two students who appear to have put equal effort into their studies, I can't see why philosophy would be a plus. A philosophy degree will be a net negative for the professional functions of a software engineering role unless the applicant has spent significant time overcoming the lag in programming experience and computer science understanding.

In other words, I think people use philosophy degrees as a proxy for overall intelligence and reasoning ability, or maybe even academic effort. But I consider that to be a red herring - philosophy studies are useful, but they don't intrinsically encourage more effort and engagement than more relevant degrees do, and the skills they offer are far less relevant for the professional work of engineers (not irrelevant, just missing quite a lot). If a candidate demonstrates strong suitability for a software engineering role with a philosophy degree, they probably would have excelled with or without it because they had to be motivated enough to self-study computer science anyway. The philosophy major in particular doesn't encapsulate or confer that kind of motivation and engagement, so it's better to just look for a targeted degree.

Again, this isn't to say philosophy isn't useful - much of my dialectic style comes from Wittgenstein. It's just that on its own philosophy is like arithmetic: fundamentally useful and broadly applicable in everyday life, but not nearly enough to prepare one for a software engineering job.
There is a danger in overreliance on private donations, which is that they are rarely targeted well. People tend to rarely donate millions to regabilititation efforts for middle-aged Sex offenders.

So here's what I can't seem to get my head around. I keep reading how we - programmers, developers, software people - are in such high demand while observing a world where the perception, at least, is that we're a dime a dozen. On the one hand, I make good money doing something I genuinely enjoy all day - not retire early money, but not "how am I going to pay the water bill this month" either, and I've only been out of work for a month in the past 25 years. On the other hand, I sit in a wide-open bullpen next to people who are shouting into speaker phones all day and inputting timecards at 15-minute granularity. I have to forecast how I'm going to spend my time weeks in advance, and that forecast had better not include anything as mundane as "reading the Bootstrap documentation" because education is my responsibility, not their problem. I've been rejected from four times more jobs than I've been accepted to. Now, you may say that I'm in this relatively low-status position because I suck - and you may be right - but I have decades of experience and a master's degree in CS. Nobody can say that I don't at least look good on paper. We "technology people" ought to have the upper hand here. We shouldn't need a union - we should just be able to say what we need to produce what we're being asked for (time and quiet) but the prevailing atmosphere is more like "you're lucky you even have a job; shut up and stop complaining".
As far as I understand it, proxying it is dangerous because IPFS will announce all your IPs so that the shortest routes can be established. You probably need to run it in a VM/container that only has access to Tor and no other network adapter.
Add me to that list too. I hate the ribbons, they just eat so much real estate and as I age, it's slower for me to scan, differentiate and spot the icons for the commands I want to perform.
1. Yes, but linear controllers can be applied to nonlinear systems given criteria I listed in a comment above.

2. Yes, but the transfer function is usually only to simulate the system in Simulink or some such software. In the real-world, you never have the transfer function.

So how do people do it?

You either identify the transfer function model using step/impulse tests (covered in undergrad courses and not that hard to do -- the least sophisticated way is to just measure the response to a step and graphically estimate parameters K and tau; it gives you a good starting point), or you can tune a controller by hand starting with a tuning heuristic and then refining.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller#Loop_tuning

More advanced ways of identifying the transfer function is to collect data (either using pseudorandom binary sequence, i.e. PRBS step tests, or just simple plant step tests) and then doing "system identification", that is, fitting a transfer function model via statistical methods. Matlab's System Identification toolbox is designed for this purpose.

I suspect your course professor did not specialize in control, and/or doesn't have real world experience. This is not unusual of course. Faculty are often assigned courses to teach, and some of these courses are outside their area of expertise.

I had the exact same experience, sans farm. I grew up in a small town, though. Spent a ton of time in the country on friends' farms, lying in long grass in shorts no shirt—all of it. I never had a single tick bite. Horseflies, mosquitoes, spiders, all of that, but never ticks. Even in the city I've (thankfully) never seen one.

Now beaches and parks back there (rural south-western Ontario) are littered with "Tick Warning" signs.

You're not the only one who's confused and curious about it. It's like they used to be a non-issue. We were warned about them, I remember that—but that's all.

Yes, and a lot of it was painstaking backend work. OpenOffice has its own cross-platform widget toolkit, which nobody else uses, and a lot of work in LibreOffice has gone to cleaning up that ancient code. For instance, all dialog boxes had hardcoded sizes and positions; each one was manually converted to a flexible layout in the Glade .ui format, and a backend was written to load these files and instantiate the corresponding widgets. Now that this conversion is mostly finished, it's become easier to modify the interface. But there's still work to be done.
