For me, it was difficult that I couldn't have reproducible builds. I would kick off a deploy and it would one day break due to some dependency (incorrectly) making a breaking change. It's important to keep packages up to date, but I believe it should be a conscious decision of the developer.

Oh, I definitely agree that a lot of this is an outgrowth of humanities in academia. I think it's clearly originating from gender and minority studies academic programs, and the translation from social sciences and cultural anthropology to general culture loses all the nuance and technical detail as well as the historic and academic background that informs all these terms. I took a few humanities courses in the late 90s, and all these ideas were clearly already present in those student's thinking. I shouldn't have difficulty passing a physical anthropology class just because I don't believe that all humans should be hunter-gatherers like the Bushmen (San) in Namibia. That was my first exposure to some very odd groupthink.

I won't deny that women and minorities still face actual discrimination, but as some minority groups are being normalized in general culture, there seems to be a drive from the same people to normalize every potential minority no matter how small or unusual. Simply put, there's a limited amount of accommodation that's reasonable to make. We're at the stage where some of the minorities that are left are well below 0.1% of the population and they don't face significant discrimination due to appearance like races and women do. Maybe someday there will be an "Other" on a form for gender, but it's not ever going to be there on a medical form where genetic sex has a real and meaningful impact on your healthcare treatment.

However, I still don't think it's necessarily a good idea to separate leftists from liberals. First of all because I'm not entirely sure how large this "leftist" group actually is. I suspect that it's actually radically smaller than the group of liberals, and it's only the Internet and social media and shitty journalism that reads individual Tweets from regular citizens on the national news that amplifies their voices. Furthermore, I don't see why they wouldn't be better classified simply as radical liberals. Just because they have extreme views doesn't make them less liberal, just less centrist. In a time when being centrist and favoring compromise is apparently a sign of weak morals, I can understand the desire to instead excise that group entirely, but I really don't believe that's correct.

I think it's also useful to note that in most European countries, they always seem to have four or five political parties: far left/liberal, left/liberal, central, right/conservative, and far right/conservative. Sometimes you'll see multiple parties in each area or an occasional party that breaks these -- some parties might be left/conservative or right/liberal -- but by and large most can still be pegged to one of those five, and the parties clustered around the middle always tend to get the most seats. It's possible that the geography and politics of the US has simply allowed the far left to stay hidden within the normal left, largely because our election process tends to favor rural communities slightly, and they tend toward conservative and right.
You didn't address their point that zoo animals have to sometimes be kept on diets to remain slim, in spite of their all natural diet. This article seems to think it's a whole gamut of things that keeps these animals thin. http://sciencenordic.com/can-wild-animals-become-overweight

Appetite and satiation are far more complex than just "eat until your full and then stop", for instance amensiac patients have been observed to eat waaay more than they should have just because they did remember eating (Rozin et al. (1998)), even they should have by all rights been physically full. There's whole layers of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns with excess food consumption.

Personally, I have been able to effectively lose and keep off weight while still enjoying all manner of unnatural foods (Ice cream, McDonald's and candy, oh my).
I wonder if it's possible to make auto-updating CSS. CSS can use @import url("another.css"), and "another.css" might be returned with delay and import "another2.css", but I'm not sure if browser would process current css before it'll import everything.

If this would work, it could spy even without React. Detect first character, then server returns next CSS to detect second character and so on.
It definitely strays into that gray area between nutritional mechanics and human psychology that makes for dramatic headlines.

Hi there,
guess there are plenty of companies out there with success stories. Personally I have been quite septic when I was asked to use MongoDB for a government project in the area of tax income prediction. We stared small more in terms of an POC, but the success came faster than we thought and we had to scale out. Luckily this was a really easy task with MongoDB. That it is purely made for it but it is one of its pros.
An other project, last year was in the area of health / hospital software with faily high security and HA targets. Also this was easier that thought in the beginning. The more I use MonogDb the more I like it.
Personally I think the success story of MongoDB is just in its Beginning but this is my own opinion. The best thing you can do it to give it a try. But please do not make the same error like me. First get a very good understaning of the document model than design your DB. Many calls for help I get can be boiled down to a design which was obviously make be some one who was still thinking in relations instead of documents.
Have fun and enjoy, as soon as you climbed the hill and start thinking in documents you have passed the line. :-)
Is there another McCarthy story the Coens have done besides "No Country", very late in their career? I would also call McCarthy "the anti-Coen".

Thanks, yes I'm somewhat familiar with the story under the current jupyter notebook. E.g. when I'm feeling very energetic, I sometimes manage to come up with the right series of shell invocations to get a notebook running in a browser and a terminal python shell sharing the same kernel via `jupyter console --existing`, with the right python version and virtualenv. Or even have the shell running in emacs, though there's usually something broken somewhere along the way in my setup.

I'm vaguely aware of autoreload but it seemed a bit confusing; there are various similar-sounding alternatives.

Yep, heat dissipation is one of the big factors. The other is that 2.5" SSDs mean you can only easily use the front 6" of your server for hot-swappable storage. The Intel Ruler/EDSFF Long form factors let you devote much more of the total server volume to storage that's still accessible from the front of the machine.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. What you said resonates with me - with a few changes. Spark 2.3 will come with Arrow UDF, that should be a significant performance boost. In that way, yes - we are taking at a forward looking bet.

About mllib - yes, we concur with you on algorithmic coverage. And yes, training is the major issue. For example, what I read of Uber's Michaelangelo infrastructure - it seems they train using Spark and save to a custom format that is deserialized (using custom code) and made available as a docker image .

There is value in consistency - using Spark thtoy2and through. Wonder what you thought of that ?

Sure, Mathematica has had a long head start. I don't see the gap widening at all, though. For me, e.g. SymPy (and more specialized algebra systems for e.g. quantum mechanics I've built on top of it) now match and sometimes surpass what I could do with Mathematica. More importantly though, Mathematica's closed nature makes it quite hard to integrate with other systems and workflows (as others have pointed out in this thread). The benefits of the open scientific ecosystem around Jupyter far outweighs the few areas were Mathematica still leads in functionality. This is a subjective assessment, of course.

IMO The point of the rules are to remove as much subjection and interpretation to how road users should behave as possible.

For example, what should the rules be when overtaking other riders? Should I overtake on the outside or the inside? We know that having a rule on overtaking makes it much safer.

Courteous and politeness are great, but a lot of people don’t drive/ride/walk like that. What happens then?
The article says,

> Like any technology, we need to consider the ethics of its application carefully so we don’t build tools that are open to abuse, or worst case, terminators that can travel through time to kill people.

So no, they took the opportunity to clear up any fears or concerns about the project and used it to make a really, really scary joke about robots specifically designed to identify individuals by using cameras and kill them with guns.

Nobody at this project gave one real thought about ethics. Ethically, you can't make that joke about your software, it's nauseating.
I never got the point of that. You can use a hdmi/dvi splitter to allow your accomplice to see your screen, and you can use your monitor's PIP function to allow your accomplice to send messages to you. both of which are totally undetectable to the student's computer.

I disagree with the article title - counting calories _is_ the key to weight loss. Aside from gut flora and the random virus that increases your body's propensity for storing fat - your body's only source of fuel is food. Calories are a simplistic, yet generally close enough, approximation of a normalized quantifier for food. Drop the calories and you drop the fat.

The title should be "Counting calories is not the key to sustaining motivation for weight loss".

My source, albeit biased, is my own experiences losing weight. I started counting calories 10 years ago and lost ~120 lbs. Over the last 10 years I've put on ~40 lb bringing my 6'4 frame to 200 lbs while going to the gym and counting calories.
My mistake, I guess I didn't really think that through...
You absolutely should have dessert because compliance with a diet is the true #1 indicator of weight loss. If you can't stick to a diet, you will rebound. To achieve this, look up If It Fits Your Macros.

Essentially, you can have dessert, but it eats into your daily caloric budget. That's why you see people go for meats and veggies, because they give you the best nutrient bang-for-the-buck, allowing you to eat the most volume of food for the least amount of calories.
This is a good example of prejudice. A TV dinner can be healthy if it contains suficient legumes and low fat meat. And depending on exactly what steak you are proposing and the manner of preparation, it can be significantly more calorie dense and packed with cholesterol and saturated fat.

Freezing and preservatives don't significantly alter nutritional value, and there exist low calorie frozen meals specifically formulated for dieters. Highly processed, but much healthier than some very natural wholesome steaks.
> I mean, I guess this is technically true. But seems like it shouldn't be an issue in practice as the API you're calling shouldn't have changed, just the implementation. If it has changed, then downgrade the dependency?

40GB seems like a lot of cached writes to lose in a power loss.

Assuming best-case write speeds of ~1,700MB/s, you'd need almost 30 seconds of power. Could an on-board capacitor satisfy that or is a RAID-style battery necessary?

Though I suppose Samsung expects these drives to be put behind a RAID controller (SCSI 12-Gbit, not PCIe), likely with battery backup.

Correct, besides that we also don't wear helmets. Note however that our road infrastructure is very different from most of the other countries.

Getting hit by a car is not something we worry much about. Besides the bike friendly roads, chauffeurs are used watching out for bycicles.

Then there's special laws where a car hitting a bycicle is always wrong. The reasoning behind that is that a byciclist is much more fragile. This also makes car drivers more careful.

Yes, physical dimensions ratio is 18.56 / 4.48 = 4.14. This makes 3.5" drive max out at 124TB. However, a good portion of the space is "overhead" for enclosure, connectors and circuit board. This overhead won't need to be multiplied by 4.14. So we may not be able to fit 1 PB into 3.5", but it will be closer than just 124TB.
Sorry for the confusion, but that's what I meant. I was addressing the use-exact-versions-all-the-time argument. Maven goes too far in that it is taboo to do anything but use specific versions. Cargo, composer, etc do follow the proper approach. Maven w/ version numbers like "[1.2,1.3)" shouldn't be so taboo IMO. The "commit lock files for apps and don't for libs" is also practical.
I also think reproducable builds are very important. Vendoring has solved this for me in Go even before it was officially supported.

My main fear is that when people get used to the idea that their master repo doesn't have to have a backwards compatible interface, then updating dependencies will look awfully similar to NPM where authors change interfaces based on their weekly mood.
Polisis Uses AI to Read Privacy Policies for You
In an election when the two parties combined spent almost $2 billion, I'm not particularly concerned with an alleged ad buy of "thousands of dollars per month" [1] The same group, by the way, which was promoting "Not My President" stories after the election. [2] This is a story of Russia sowing discord, but since the MSM played directly into their hands in that regard, they don't want to report it accurately.

Even 538 [3] can't get it right. In their analysis of whether IRA had any impact on the election ("Who Can Say?") they claim the IRA had a monthly operating budget the equivalent of $1.25 million USD. In fact what the indictment actually claims is;

"By in or around September 2016, the ORGANIZATION’s monthly budget for Project Lakhta submitted to CONCORD exceeded 73 million Russian rubles (over 1,250,000 U.S. dollars), including approximately one million rubles in bonus payments" [4]

But in the paragraph immediately above;

"CONCORD funded the [IRA] as part of a larger CONCORD-funded interference operation that it referred to as “Project Lakhta.” Project Lakhta had multiple components, some involving domestic audiences within the Russian Federation and others targeting foreign audiences in various countries, including the United States."

So when 538 writes "The indictment alleges that an organization called the Internet Research Agency had a monthly budget of approximately $1.25 million toward interference efforts by September 2016" this is simply false. In a story attempting to assess the reach and impact of Russian interference in the election, IMO this is a fatal flaw in their reporting.

Now that the "collusion" narrative is dead, the new buzzword is "interference". But personally I'm not convinced "thousands of dollars of ad spend" are convincing evidence of interference. No doubt Russia loves sowing discord in the US and has done so for decades. The story simply hasn't lived up to the narrative, and it's playing into Russia's hand to try to make it bigger than it really was.

I guess maybe we're just about ready to move on from anger to bargaining. Really, this has gone on long enough.

It is not about learning everything by doing it yourself from scratch. Hosting a service yourself on your own server is becoming simpler and simpler by the day.

Singapore is pretty light on motorbikes compared to places like Hanoi.

I cycle year round in London and would rather cycle commute in Singapore. Once you are acclimatised to the humidity it's not that big a deal, and it's always similar so it's easy to plan for.

You do have to pull off the road to wait out a real tropical rain storm... but so do motorbikes. That's why they have shelters for then under the today bridges.
