This is really exciting for the team! However I don't think that I am particularly sold on the notebook style of coding.. its possible that I simply haven't found a good use case for it, can anyone suggest an example where the notebook style outperforms a simple script based style?

For reference, I use Matlab and Mathematica pretty heavily, and python in a text editor like sublime along with a terminal running ipython shell.

Jupyter was already one of the greatest Python projects out there, this just takes it to another level. I can't wait to use this. Enormous kudos to the Jupyter team.
> Your bullet points these may well be immediate causes, but if you say something like 'real wages decreasing' well then you need to ask, what's the cause of that? And what's the cause of whatever caused that?

The root cause isn't a known thing to my knowledge.

Robert Putnam (Harvard prof who has advised several presidents) has been looking at this for a while now. I had the privilege of hearing him talk about it a couple of years back.

His objective is to identify the mechanisms through which economic inequality interacts with things like social cohesion, examining hundreds of indicators over the past century and further, such as the frequency of bipartisan bills, the incidence of social club membership, unions, incidence of interracial relationships, etc.

I recall a few notable points; Firstly social cohesion had a low around the turn of the century (1900) and peaked around the mid 1960s and is currently dropping. Secondly, economic inequality indicators follow the same pattern, but trail social cohesion indicators by 5-10 years if I remember correctly. Thirdly, the effect is noticable in the US (and to a lesser extent the UK) but varies a lot internationally.

(I don't have links, this was all verbal. He said he was considering putting it in a book, which to my knowledge is not yet published)
I'm not sure about the "not making money" -> "use it as PR" causality. From that website, it reads like the researchers retained the right to make it available to poorer countries when they sold the patent, i.e. before Syngenta found that they wouldn't be making money with it. So I don't think it is fair to accuse them (the researchers) of only doing it for the PR.
In fairness, there are an incredible amount of incompetent “hackers”.
So I can now use a decent text editor (emacs) to edit Jupyer notebooks? Great! I do wish it was possible to interleave languages like with org-mode, though. I've yet to find a literate programming/notebook format I'm truly happy with.

Edit: oh.. I misread. It doesn't support using external editors. All I want is some way to edit those text boxes with another program. I can't do any serious work in a web browser. It's awful.
I cannot find much valuable content on deletionpedia.org in general and nothing interesting about clocks. If you know about articles with valuable information that were lost, you can ask an administrator to give you the page's text. Full edit history for all deleted pages is kept and more than a hundred administrators are happy to give it to you, it's just not publicly viewable because it can contain copyright violations, personal information, and so on.

Totally agree - what a nice route to get to work. From what I could see, it looks like a lot of long, straight and - most importantly! - flat routes. Perfect for nice easy cycling.

I sometimes run to work, but never ever run home as in London it is downhill to get to the centre, but uphill to get back out to the suburbs :)

They could start by paying every one of their employees a decent salary starting from janitors up. They could also not hire cheap contracting companies for a lot of services but instead hire people directly and pay them well. If they want to understand inequality they just have to look at their own company and see how the higher ups reap most of the benefits.
They would only have to make one mistake and would be exposed. You would be surprised how often that happens.

The fact that Model S has "S" in it doesn't put it in the same class as Mercedes S, it's more in the class of Mercedes E class / BMW 5er, so this article doesn't make any sense.
I find notebooks to be great for prototyping longer pipelines or processes. Instead of having to constantly get fresh data, particularly if it's from an external API, the notebook can persist the data in memory and you can iterate on the next piece of the process right there.

I then take that and make it a more formal script/process w/ version control and all that fun stuff. They're also really great for learning. I just wouldn't put them in production :-)

Yeah, nobody buys a 7 series to drive themselves. The 5 series is BMW's driver flagship, IMO.
Excellent, I'm all over this. Thank you!
Loving Jupyter, I use it every day and for sure I will try this out. What I do miss though is good separation between code and data, it is a pain when someone just takes a look at your notebook and it autosaves, the code block counters reset, this alters the file and GIT reports a lot of alterations.
Using python in an editor next to an ipython console is exactly the sort of workflow that JupyterLab supports. See https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/documents_k... for a walk-through of how this workflow can be used in JupyterLab.

I enjoyed it but took exactly the opposite from it, I thought Rieman's argument was weak whereas Pinker's seemed more empirical.

WW2 is interesting, Europe had been squabbling for a very long time before then, since then not very much. It's hard to imagine modern countries carpet bombing cities when technology offers us highly targeted weapons.

As far as I can see the only fly in the ointment is the environmental destruction we have been going through, I see almost no evidence that we are going to deal with climate change in time to avoid a catastrophe.

I always found Pinkers optimism simply as a counter against the perception that the world is going to hell, which in turn fuels effects like "fake news" which turns such reporting into a self fulfilling prophecy.
>Am I suffering from some form of undiagnosed ADHD?

You can very easily resolve this question by talking to a doctor, or two. If you are curious, don’t just sit and wait and keep “wasting your life away” in the indecision of whether or not to get checked. The lack of decisiveness to even get check may itself be a symptom of ADHD.

One obviously cannot understate the value and importance of having a healthy life, regular sleep, good exercise, good diet and hygiene and all the like, but for some people it’s a little harder to get things in order than just that. Also you don’t need to consider getting medical help as a terminal situation; perhaps you may just use meds long enough to retain your brain with what it means to be productive and do meaningful work.

No solution is one size fits all, and you need to find what works best for you, but if you have questions or doubts about whether or not you may have an attention disorder, the best way to discern with any real certainty is to ask a professional.

What about the Identity monad? Does that "force sequencing"? What "sequencing relationship" does it create?

If you are convinced that the Identity monad does "force sequencing" then you are also convinced that lazy evaluation "forces sequencing" (because the Identity monad is just lazy evaluation). That would be a fairly controversion conviction. If you are not convinced that the Identity monad "forces sequencing" then can you explain in more detail the meaning of your claim "What a Monad does is to force sequencing by creating a data dependency.".

Uh-oh. In other words, there's a smart road ahead, you can 100% trust it. Except when it's not there, because it hasn't been maintained for decades, and it's unclear where the missing pieces are. Can't see what could possibly go wrong.

Plus there's also no incentive for anyone to waylay the smart road off the physical road, because there are no evil people (i.e. with motives that are incompatible with the vehicle's survival).
I disagree. In Sweden, at least, it is my opinion that there are more things in society that are disadvantages to men rather to women. Still however, people who vouch for sexist laws as this one always seem to see women as victims.

I personally believe that this is just a part of their ideology. The idea of a patriarchy is a fixed idea which will never change no matter how much legislation that gets pushed.

I will never support such an ideology and I will probably not really respect quota hires since they are just that. They are not hired because they seemed best for the position, just to appease to some social justice laws or beliefs.
> Pinker wants to claim things are getting better but it seems blind to how we can use our "progress" to bring forth previously unimaginable horror

In The Better Angels of Our Nature [1], Pinker posits a single measure of progress: the population-adjusted frequency of violence. He then proceeds to argue, on very long time horizons (e.g. thousands of years), that this metric has almost monotonically declined. The horrors of the twentieth century, in his eyes, are balanced by the larger population. (There is disagreement regarding his pre-historic data [2].)

TL; DR If population keeps rising with technological ability, ceteris paribus, the average person will be better off tomorrow than today. Even if ever-more terrible things happen from time to time.

It wouldn't necessarily need to be in-road, but there are numerous places where you could adapt. For instance, cats-eyes in the UK (retro-reflective markers) are placed on virtually all motorways at lane boundaries and the car could look for a signature from them (I imagine at night, autonomous cars already use them as a feature for lane boundary detection). Nobody bats an eyelid about re-setting cats-eyes every time a bit of road is replaced. You could also put boundary markers on either side of the road, in the central reservation or something similar.

The idea would to put the smart tech in the car. What's going at the roadside could be made very cheaply and integrated into existing features without needing to rip up the entire road.

Other countries have toll highways which are well maintained, that's another option for installation.

I don't see this happening in rural/country lanes, the cost would be obscene (but again, we do liberally use reflectors in the UK). I also don't see this as a panacea, it would simply be a backup in horrendous weather.
Getting home at 17:00? I don't even get off work until 17:30, and if I'm lucky I get home before 18:30. Even cycling I'd only shave maybe 15 minutes off my commute, and if I'm really lucky I'd make it home alive.

I wish I lived somewhere with more sustainable work hours and bike-friendly traffic. I'm totally drained when I finally get home.
> There's a reason professions like doctory, investment banking, and consulting pay so much, they involve lots of sacrifice and/or job unhappiness that you have to pay people a lot to get them to commit to the job.

That's partly true, but there are other dynamics at work as well.

Expert sewage/waste management workers get paid a lot less than those trades, though their trade is necessary and involves lots of sacrifice/job unhappiness.

On the other hand, private military contractors and undersea welders make a premium, despite being nominally "service" or less popularly lauded jobs.

There are other factors at work in addition to this.

I don't think "smart people" actually do too much "arguing on the Internet". You reach a point where it's "debate" and over time, those arguing from opposite extremes will tend to move towards the middle ground.

I personally never lose an argument - I'm either right or I'm wrong and learn something from it. (the reality is that there are snippets of truth embedded in most of my wrongness which is what kept me there to begin with).

You just have to look at the domain name and you already know that this is backed by someone with a clear agenda and probably paid by lobbyists. I don't know why they all have to name their domains in the same style. Must be SEO I guess.
That's not quite right.

Let's define an operator `|> = (flip $)`, which has a type signature `a -> (a -> b) -> b`, which, by your reasoning, should force sequencing too. Except it doesn't: Laziness is a bitch to work with, and `a |> f |> g` evaluates to `g(f(a))`, and g is evaluated first, which then evaluates f(a) on demand. If you consider `1 |> (+1) |> const 4`, this will evaluate to 4 without ever performing the addition.

Instead, let's compare this to the monadic equivalent. `(return 1) >>= return . (+ 1) >>= return . (const 4)`. The sequence that's being forced here isn't that (+ 1) is evaluated, it's that the `return` in `return 1` is evaluated (producing a 1) before `return . (+ 1)` is ever touched, and that _that_ return is evaluated (presumably producing an unevaluated thunk for (1 + 1)) before `return . (const 4)` is touched.

In IO world, this corresponds to guaranteeing that the IO operations happen in sequence irrespective of the order in which the pure computations they wrap are evaluated in.

These are the experts on the panel: https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/experts

The overall consensus used to be that fat was bad, but science has advanced and our view on the subject is a lot more nuanced than "fat bad". Clinical dieticians and other experts have updated their recommendations accordingly. That's how science works, we continually improve our collective knowledge.

Going completely off the rails and jumping on fad diets instead is not a wise choice.

The current recommendation of a diet heavy in plants, low in saturated fat, moderate in carbs (complex carbs, ditch the simple ones) is perfectly sound, a good average diet for the average person.

My main pain points with python currently are distribution and GUI. PyInstaller is working fairly well at the former, but is by no means perfect. For GUI, there are a lot of options, but they all come with suboptimal trade-offs (licensing, non-native look, dated look, etc).

The recent features that have been added have been amazing, though. The new Windows installer, type hinting, asyncio, and f-strings have all made my life easier.
