Mathematics. Which branch of math is domain dependent. Stats come up everywhere. Graphs do too. In addition to baseline math, you really need to understand the problem domain and goals of the analysis.

Languages and libraries are just tools: knowing APIs doesn’t tell you at all how to solve a problem. They just give you things to throw at a problem. You need to know a few tools, but to be honest, they’re easy and you can go surprisingly far with few and relatively simple ones. Knowing how, when, and where to apply them is the hard part: and that often boils down to understanding the mathematics and domain you are working in.

And don’t over use viz. Pictures do effectively communicate, but often people visualize without understanding. The result is pretty pictures that eventually people realize communicate little effective domain insight. You’d be surprised that sometimes simple and ugly pictures communicate more insight than beautiful ones do.

My arsenal of tools: python, scipy/matplotlib, Mathematica, Matlab, various specialized solvers (eg, CPLEX, Z3). Mathematical arsenal: stats, probability, calculus, Fourier analysis, graph theory, PDEs, combinatorics.

What does "Data Scientist" actually mean these days? Does it mean "Write 10 lines of Python or R, and not fully understand what it actually does"? Or something else?

I just see the term flinged around so much recently, and applied to so many different roles, it has all become a tad blurred.

Maybe we need a Data Scientist to work out what a Data Scientist is?

JIT engines usually don't do static analysis. I'm not sure if that is because the cost for that is that much higher, but a hint towards why could be that the engine simply does not know which parts of the (potentially huge amounts of) code that was loaded is actually going to be needed during execution, so analysing all of it is likely to bring more harm than gain.

As an example for something that static analysis could have caught, take the example from the article about the "Argument Adaptation"[0]. Here the author uses profiling to learn that by matching the exact argument count for calling a function, instead of relying on the JS engine to "fix that", the performance can be improved by 14% for this particular piece of code. Static analysis could have easily caught and fixed that, essentially performing a small code refactoring automatically just like the author here did manually.

Google Colaboratory Now Supports Python3 and Tensorflow
You're being downvoted by people who... actually think you should pay Qt for support, rather than enjoy the mountain of information that HTML5/Electron/etc has with a simple Google search.

Even setting aside the argument that, sure, it'd be nice if people paid one another for good work... that's just a hellaciously slow turnaround time. The greater mindshare in the web ecosystem makes dodging a bunch of issues much easier.

The purpose of the post is just to provide some general information about the different concepts provided by CoreData. The framework first lacks of a clear documentation I would say. Regarding reliability, if the rules are respected, I would consider CoreData as a reliable framework.

Regarding speed, I would say that CoreData is far lower than other low level approach. It is up to the developer to estimate the needs in term of speed/performance.

The biggest advantage of CoreData, according to me, would be the integration with the UI libraries, but this is only my opinion :)

Aside from this being a terrible decision on their part alltogether, why did they bundle malware? It means that legitimate customers get a program installed that at least potentially shows up as malware. That in itself is bad enough.

This is a desktop program, if they wanted to perform something bad on a condition, why not just code it in their own program? The chrome browser history and password db could just be decrypted and uploaded, for example. It's exactly the same thing and just as bad, but at least they didn't install third party malware that shows up in AV, at their paying customers. It's also MUCH easier to deny since at the legitimate users there is neither any suspicious signature, nor any suspicious network activity.

Nature through nuture: "The larger suggestion is that it is the combination of the right environment and genetic cocktail that causes mental illness — not nature versus nurture, but, as author Matt Ridley has written, nature via nurture."

Crime: "The more common antisocial behavior, limited to peer relationships at a young age, she termed “adolescent-limited.” She also identified a less common “life-course persistent” antisocial behavior, which resulted in a persistence of violence into midlife. "

Weed: " unlike tobacco users, marijuana users tended to stay healthy into midlife."

Self control:
""boys and girls with less self-control had worse health, less wealth, and more crime as adults than those with more self-control at every level of the distribution of self-control.”Another related study suggested a 5-item questionnaire at doctors’ offices could identify children who needed motivational counseling to make healthy decisions, which would greatly increase their chances of better health later in life."

> no you don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis

> yeah, those carnivores consume so much carbohydrates!

Fresh raw meat actually has a good amount of carbs. The muscle glycogen (animal equivalent of plant starch) starts to turn into lactic acid after death, but it's there for a carnivore that immediately starts eating after the kill. Also carnivores have jacked up gluconeogenesis. Carbohydrates are vital for carnivores who need to use anaerobic energy system to catch prey. They might not be vital for coach potato ketoers.

People usually claim that Inuits somehow survive without carbs but that's not true at all. Inuits are eating 15-20% of their calories as carbs in the form of muscle glycogen: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/25/8/737/4733245

You're right, my comment was needlessly harsh and I apologize for that. You didn't deserve that and it was rude of me.

The subject of Elm often gets me riled up because there's so much good about it mixed with what to me is a greater portion of frustration. I strongly disagree with how the language is managed, with the closed nature of its development, but mostly with what looks like the constant dismissal of any concerns about any of these issues any time they're brought up. By far, the most common response feels something like "everything is fine and your opinions are baseless."

There are people I know who, like me, have tried to convince employers to even consider Elm and have been shot down because, in management's words, "there doesn't seem to be any idea where the language is going", or its "too unsafe, its all dependent on one guy" or "looks like its dead now anyway, no releases in over a year and apparently it sucks at basic things like dealing with json". And yeah, some of those things, like the json nonsense, shouldn't be showstoppers. But not having an idea of what the roadmap or timeline looks like is a big deal. No releases in a year is a big deal. So then you bring that up on the elm forums or the slack, and you end up getting blasted there too because now you're seen as criticizing this thing that everyone loves.

Obviously I'm just a jackass on the internet with more mouth than brains and I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for me to ever make anything as interesting or yes, successful, as Elm is right now. I appreciate the work you've put into making Elm as good as it is.
I have a dual boot system, my windows is my container for games :D.
I do not want to be employed. I want to do with my time what I want, and when I want. I do not want to continue living in the age of want, I want to live in the age of plenty. I think it's fair to assume this wish is pretty universal.

So I do not give a rats arse about 'productivity', and neither does anybody else, what we want is to live in paradise, today.

Paradise, for me, is when I can have all of the below as a matter of basic human convenience, 'free' as we call it now in the age of want:

* min 4000 calories of excellent and varied nutritious food whenever I want it

* 1kl of 60℃ water / day to my exclusive disposal, I will generally lie around in it

* 1l of alcoholic beverage, typically high hopped beer, I'm not fussy

* sex on demand with a like minded individual, I'm not fussy, hotness would be nice but I'll be happy with someone less ugly than me

* I want to be able travel to any place in the solar system that humans have built homesteads, on demand, by getting on the nearest bus to Titan

* I want to live as long as I please, in excellent health until life literally bores me to death and I decide to die of some ancient crippling disease as an expression of art, or some other bullshit like that.

Now, if I can have the above, you may own all the AI and tech you want, no worries.
Pebble made a bet on more growth than that niche userbase could provide.

But the US dollar was defined by Congress and can be redefined by the same. And they have.

Scientific knowledge [0] is in principle the only true knowledge in the word. It is repeatable and testable, which means it is reliable and can be applied. (By the way, too many people do not know what science means. They think it is just one of the ways to discover the world...)

If the meaning of life exists, it must be possible to find it with science. I see no contradictions here. If you see, you are welcome to reveal them if you will.

Well, that's not fair, in many ways. Using dictionary definitions to attempt to settle anything is well-known to be silly.

This piece—which reads like a really bad student essay—is so awful for the reasons I stated in my other comment, nothing to do with it being critical theory or not. There are good writings within that, and awful writings without.

Critical theory is philosophy, not science, so your dismissing it for not being science is just confused. (Scientific realism is an attitude towards science/scientific theories, not philosophy. Yes, philosophers write about it, but as philosophers of science.)

Critical theory is generally political philosophy, so no wonder it's concerned with human freedom, 'emancipation from slavery', whatever whoever wrote that meant precisely, and such things. Marcuse, the philosopher/guru of the USA's 60s hippie cultural revolution, was Critical Theory. Read a potted version of what he stood for and it all sounds pretty sensible. A lot of it has just become totally mainstream.

Erich Fromm is my favourite of these guys, my favourite psychologist still, writer of wonderful and inspiring books. In him the critical theorists' mix of Freud and Marx doesn't seem strange or weird. It just means they're very interested in both psychology and politics - life in the mind and in the world, everywhere. Critical theorists write about anything, whatever interests them. And usually they don't quote other writers constantly like this guy! But they're informed by a lot of the thinkers of the past.

I was into Adorno for a while, but gave up. Too often deliberately obscure, although sometimes not, wrote some illuminating stuff. e.g. his essay on jazz, although ignorant and unfair, is pretty classic. Horkheimer I like more.

They're all from the original Frankfurt School of critical theory; there are many later people who might be called critical theorists - e.g. Raymond Williams, of whom I've loved everything I've read.
Deaths per joule doesn't account for the safety issues if nuclear power were more widespread. The deaths caused by weapon proliferation and the long-term ecological impact of more nuclear accidents doesn't scale linearly. We can handle an accident every decade or so. But if nuclear power replaces fossil fuels, we're looking at closer to one every year. It's unknown what the long-term consequences of that are.

Thanks for responding.

wrt point #1, SJW and Social-Justice Advocate are different terms. Justice is a subjective term, the word itself may have a positive implication, but the implication of "SJW" is that their brand of social justice is neither just nor good.

I disagree with point #2 though: the word "racist" is used to denigrate (label people who do not accept the label) more than otherwise. A person can absolutely say an "SJW thing" - the kind of thing an SJW would say. This may be ambiguous, but so is racist; it depends on a personal definition of what constitutes racism just as mush as SJW does.

In fact, willfully creeping the scope of words such as "racist" to include e.g. microaggressions is partly what differentiates SJWs.

Only if you look at the most refined and treated flours. Overly refined and bleached flour is obviously not great nutritionally, as with all processed foods.

Even just unbleached wheat flour is significantly better, and whole grain types are much better, plenty of fiber and vitamins/minerals.

I hope you're not claiming a good wholegrain mixed-grain sourdough bread is the same as eating white sugar.
