There's lots of 3rd party solutions for .dropboxignore personally I've used many of them and am not a fan of it (perl scripts, 3rd party apps, etc). I wish dropbox would natively implement .dropboxignore, but its probably never going to happen since only a small % of users voice their concerns for it. Average dropbox user probably doesn't care or doesn't know what a .dropboxignore is.

I don't think iskander though you were advocating using ML, but generally saying that the approaches _usually_ used in ML would not work in some datasets which are way too small.

A 12-point dataset is not desirable _per se_, but sometimes it's all one has - as is the case, for example in health-related research.
It's exactly the "laissez les bon temps rouler" mentality in NOLA that keeps it from becoming a booming tech incubator (for the reasons in the article), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's nowhere else like the Crescent city, and I hope it stays that way.

Although you're more likely to overhear discussions about last night's debauchery than the next billion-dollar startup, you'll never be able to relax in Cambridge, Mass. like you will in New Orleans. I think the idea that a high-intensity environment is inherently better than a more laid-back one is exactly what leads to the "work till you burn out" mentality in places like SV.
"'We’re trying to figure out if we can predict how much shortcutting ants will do given a geometry of their environment,' Garnier said."
Garnier clearly states that they haven't figured out the algorithm. Then the separate researcher says “We describe army ants as simple, but we don’t even understand what they’re doing"
They’re probably referring to the 5c which clearly didn’t do well at all.

There is a positive feedback loop, more water vapor in the athmosphere double the CO2 greenhouse effect, and factoring in other feedback loops we get over 3 times more greenhouse effect, which warms the earth and increase water vapor in the athmosphere, etc.

This process could lead to oceans boiling out (though not on Earth, but it may be the case for Venus).
What I'm getting from this is
a) It's mostly conjecture

I've been studying state machines and specifically statecharts (which are essentially state-machines with hierarchy) for a while now. Here's a great resource to learn more https://statecharts.github.io/

I absolutely fell in love with them and haven't looked back ever since I learned more about how they work. As the author explains in this post we're implicitly writing state-machines all the times in the form of code. The idea of making them explicit, rather than implicit, helps us visualize the behavior which would've otherwise been hidden in code.

I'd highly suggest to also read this paper by David Harel, the creator of statecharts, On Visual Formalisms: http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~harel/SCANNED.PAPERS/Visua...

And once you're confortable with FSM's, you might try Abstract, State Machines (ASM's) for formally specifying or verifying software:

Microsoft even had a gool, AsmL, for this method. TLA's PlusCal specs look similar to some Ive seen in ASM's, too.
Fascinating! Never really thought about this before, thanks for the link.

(Come to think of it, this seems very song-dependent. For instance, I definitely find myself clapping on 2&4 to "Thriller" and "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". But I think I'd still clap 1&3 to some of my favorite classic rock and metal songs. Also, I felt 1&4 pretty strongly in that Harry Connick Jr. clip. Maybe they're just clapping too fast: if they were only doing half the claps, I think 2&4 would feel more natural.)

I did have an account there. I should probably find my login and delete my images. It was fun, but in the age of image sharing everywhere, I didn't use it much (I uploaded 5 images). I had more friends on flickr and later instagram, so thats where I ended up.

With Flickr->Yahoo->Verizon and instagram->Facebook, there seems like a lot of consolidation in this space.

The state machine is a powerful/clear metaphor to align your design. IMO hierarchical state machines (aka Harel statecharts) are a superior variant that makes behavior yet clearer and easier to design.

I had dropbox for awhile and I answered a good question which they gave me ~300GB. It was convienent for a few years but I slowly started to not use the service. Collaboration with friends moved to other services. Now, I plan on moving my files off of it to Amazon. I only paid for the pro version for version history. I think its nice as a free service but now since I have so many Apple products and Airdrop I don't really have a need for the product at all. Also, if I want to share larger files or work documents I would always use google docs (now moving to aws work docs). I hope to be off of both Google services and dropbox soon as I really only use Dropbox for archiving stuff I don't want to lose.

I think my answer is biased due to the 300GB unlimited account I have though.

This entire thread is probably being massively selection biased by one crowd that wants to costly signal their purity by talking about how no one they know does things in that nebulous 'drugs' category and they would never consider it. And then it's being selection biased by another set that wants to countersignal their insight by talking about how actually, everyone secretly does drugs, how do you think people manage those all nighters, clearly they sit on a throne of stimulants.

I suspect the reality is less dramatic. ADHD is one of the most common adult mental disorders, just on this basis alone we should expect a lot of basically non-abusive stimulant use (and some basically abusive stimulant use, it is an addictive drug after all). My informal impression is that ADD is more common than base rate in programmers, I don't have any formal proof of this but the LessWrong Community survey indicates a rate far above normal.

http://lesswrong.com/lw/nqa/2016_lesswrong_diaspora_survey_a...

Of course, that almost certainly has other selection biases involved than just being a computer programmer.

Beyond that you have a large number of people who are higher on Big Five Openness than normal, and are probably willing to take substances in a cautious way for benefit. The entire 'nootropics' strain is testimony to this particular brand of cultural oddity. I suspect these people are distinct from the sort of people you normally think of as meth junkies.

And then of course, nobody wants to talk about this but even just reading hacker news you'll get people occasionally come onto anon accounts to discuss their struggle with heroin or ridiculously unhealthy doses of stimulant drugs. These people are often invisible because their sort of drug use is not fashionable, and so it's often assumed that they simply don't exist in polite society. They of course do, and I suspect their mindset and lifestyle look different from the groups mentioned above.

go to the same dusty corner where so many other CS topics that are never used in practice lie already

I've been meaning to write a letter to the CS department of one UC school: What the hell are they teaching in CS nowadays? If presented with a situation where the user can create circular references, there's one UC school that produces graduates with high 3.8+ GPAs, virtually none of whom I've interviewed can give you an implementable description of how to detect circular references. As a general pattern, they also tend to say silly things, like that a null pointer member of a structure uses up no data. I can go on and on. It seems to me they are being taught by TAs who would also flub such points in an interview.

I love this suggestion, and thank you for elaborating! FWIW, the interviews that I've talked about taking as a candidate actually used this approach. And, when I give interviews, I use this approach too.

The only thing I'm really defending here is using a 2nd stage screening process that only takes 30 minutes, before I go to the 3rd stage that takes a half day or full day. @BitL seems to be fighting the screening process, which is a necessary practicality and isn't going away.

The first stage is reading resume and glancing briefly at any side projects, which is ~5 minutes. The first stage is invisible, and filters out more people than any other stage. If anything unfair is happening, it's happening here, and there's little a candidate can do about it.

My thoughts on your outline:

A - getting rid of the whiteboard is of course optional. In my case, having graded exercises doesn't mean I stop using the whiteboard. I only provide a whiteboard for people who want one, and I don't ask people to whiteboard things better done in an IDE.

B - Yes! I do like having exercises that range from super easy to not solvable. It helps to know where people get stuck.

C - Yes! That's very helpful for language specific jobs. Personally, I also like exercises that are language agnostic, to let the candidate pick the language they're most comfortable with. I've loved doing coding quizzes in Python during interviews, and would prefer that over, say, C++.
Yes, Sthephen Dolan's project (along with others) was definitely an inspiration for me! Although, I like to think I made a lot of performance and design improvements over his work.

The answer I want is a clear explanation of these so called enlightenment values.

What I'd also like is for you to stop putting words into my mouth, I never advocated for disregarding all knowledge generated before 1970, nor did I suggest that we must disassociate ourselves from anyone.

I just want to point out that the so called values of the enlightenment were never really put into practice. Rule of law and democracy didn't exist for African Americans or colonial citizens of color, the power of nonviolent protest and it's ability to effect change was mostly thanks to leaders who stood in opposition to those who supposedly represented the values of the enlightenment, and the relative peace of the last 60 years is a result of the devastation caused by great wars that were entered into by societies that were supposedly enlightened.

I'm just calling bullshit on the notion that the ideals of European nationalism fuelled by the industrial revolution can claim any credit for the social progress we've made as a nation. Technological progress? Sure. Social progress and justice? Not at all.

I do see some stimulant usage (adderall, modafinil, caffeine, 5 hour energy), but it's usually in people with ADHD who are taking prescribed medication. Sometimes others will take it too, though I suspect some of those are are people who probably have ADHD and aren't getting treatment. Hyperfocus and love of novelty make tech an appealing field for ADHDers and those with ADHD tendencies.

I've only known one techie to use coke, and thought he was crazy and way out of the norm for my group.
