Great to see they have a nice introductory section to feature engineering! Feature engineering is often the most impactful thing you can do to improve quality of models and a place where I often see beginners (and experts for that matter) get stuck. Google walks through how to work with json files and categorical variables https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course/....

If anyone is looking to get more indepth, I work on an open source python library for automated feature engineering called Featuretools https://github.com/featuretools/featuretools/. It can help when your data is more complex such as when it comprised of multiple tables.

We have several demos you can run yourself to apply it to real datasets here: https://www.featuretools.com/demos.
120 real units. By that you mean plotting 120 paths simultaneously using a common flow algorithm used by internet routers which is more than fast enough and reasonably easy to speed up or truncate.

The tricky part is on assigning nodes on a contiguous map or reducing number of nodes. (Or expanding node resolution on demand.)

Of course many games of the time side stepped it by using greedy truncated pathing instead. Easy, dirty, mediocre results.

Anvil | Cambridge, UK (London OK) | Onsite, Full-time/Part-time/Flexible | https://anvil.works

Anvil is a platform for building full-stack web apps with nothing but Python. We’re looking for Employee #1: a developer with good communications skills to help people build awesome things with Anvil.

HN called us “amazing”, “just what we need, in the language we need”, and “really really cool”. Our customers range from individuals to growing startups to huge tech companies, and they say the same. Check out our six-minute demo; I promise you it’s worth it: https://anvil.works/#about

You’ll be building example applications, writing tutorials, and helping our users build their apps. You don’t need to be a Python expert already, but you will be pretty soon: most of the code you write will be read by someone working out how to do what you’re doing! Don’t worry - you’ll have the Anvil authors themselves to get you up to speed. Joining a startup this early means you can help shape who we are, as well as who you are in the company. You'll also be shaping how everyone uses a shiny new development tool. We’re friendly, open, and have good work-life balance - and we want to stay that way. Come join in!

My email is in my profile, or you can drop us a line at recruitment@anvil.works.
That's a very long string of words to ask "Can you present evidence that calling people who aren't serfs serfs is degrading?" I don't know what sort of evidence you're looking for here.

That requirement applies to over-the-top communications providers, not to communication in general.
IPFS supports censorship, theoretically.
Well, that's the question - is his 416-planet system chaotic? Do perturbtions get amplified or do they get pushed back to the stable configuration?

Of course, when you're talking about a civilization building 416 equal-mass planets equally spaced in 8 counter-rotating orbits, worrying about how stable they are is kind of silly; as long as they're "mostly" stable the maintenance of monitoring and tweaking their orbits for a billion years would presumably both be feasible and cheap compared to the initial construction.

YMMV but I haven't noticed any change from places that list on delivery services. The local places around here typically just inflate their prices in the app to cover the delivery cut and then push customers to order directly with coupons, or takeout deals.

You could be right and it might not last forever, but independent customer acquisition has a tangible value and I'll be basking in the 35c wings because I'm okay with calling in my order for as long as possible.
Sure, if you totally reframe the entirety of what it means "to solve philosophy" to mean what you said, then gaius's comment makes sense.

I'm not sure I agree that solving a lot of the then/now "problems" with philosophy is the same as solving the entire field of philosophy. Especially since it requires mobile goalposts.
Absolutely not, while Uber flaunts their noncompliance with TfL et al they should not receive a single penny of taxpayer’s money - and there’s the matter of them dodging employer’s NI thereby directly undercutting the NHS too.
The crazy thing is with all those fees, service charges, and markups they are still just barely contribution margin profitable.

Amazon Prime Now / Restaurants guarantees a delivery driver a certain wage (say $XX/hr, depends on market). However what that really means is while your tip is technically going to the driver, until they exceed $XX/hr, you're just saving Amazon from having to pay them instead. I still tip, but my generosity went down when I realized that most of my tip is really just a handout to Amazon.
It doesn't seem that outlandish, though, that he might be in possession of controlled substances. The point of stop-and-frisk isn't to catch someone "heading to a mugging;" how would you even discern that?
The question is: why does cloadflrare even use them?

There are like ten thousand other options...
What happens if they are caught before they have a change of heart. Say a kid is caught 10 steps from school grounds with a weapon and intent to attack the school. Would you say they haven't committed a crime since there is still 10 more steps that they could've had a change of heart before they were on the school grounds?
When was it higher, and what made it higher? The only extra thing that you used to have to do is pay money....
A clear example is self driving cars.
In my first job in 1981 the first few weeks we had 7 people sharing a single terminal. We had to write code on paper until it we got an hour or so to use it. This lasted two week before they got a couple more. You still had to sit at your desk with paper for 2-3 hours a day. I have less than zero percent desire to write code on paper again. It's hard for people not from back then to imagine a time when most desks did not have access to any computer system. I think of this today as the Desk Operating System. Thankfully that only lasted a couple years and I moved on to PCs.
We just finished our first year of formal performance appraisals (self-review, review by manager, etc).

The best thing I can say in favor of the current system is that the managers I know realize that it's a mess/work in progress. It seems like the poorly aligned official standards are being duly ignored for now. I'm not a fan of subjective evaluations, but they're better than completely random "objective" ones. We'll see how it goes in a year or two.

How is it a mess? Line engineers and managers had opposing goals (maximizing bug counts fixed, minimizing bugs--and those are terrible metrics even without the mismatch), individuals had goals that had no relation to their work, or which they had no power to affect.

Team leads had to give feedback, but there was zero structured discussion about standards: I had to ask a manager how to translate my evaluation of a developer into a numeric scale.

My manager had to stack rank 5 people on a 1-5 scale. This was theoretically not just ranking "first" through "last", but ranking from "exceptional" through "unacceptable".
Can't speak for SF but it's a little trickier with NYC.

Thing is, a lot of middle class white collar workers live here not expecting to ever have any of the above (owning a home, good schools) in the city. They know the city is expensive and home owners here have either been here for decades or are wealthy.

They're here until their mid 30s when they move to a suburb. What I am saying is, a lot of middle/upper middle class people don't care that they can't buy a house in NYC - they were never expecting to.

I would also argue that the middle class lifestyle you describe is not as popular as before.

--

The areas in NYC that are affordable to own a home in are not much further away from jobs than areas where one can get a bigger house and not live in 100 year old, poorly maintained building. People will choose to commute an hour away from upstate, Long Island, or even Connecticut than still live in the city 40 mins from work in a smaller, older building.

You might be more rational than most people I've interviewed with. Many interviewers are less skilled and experienced than I am; my feeling is that egos can be bruised and folks can feel threatened. Interviewers don't want to admit their companies (and they) have problems. This is basic human self-preservation instinct.

The Dinner That Destroyed Gawker

The monolitic nature of embedded key-value stores based webapps makes it a poor solution for scaling horizontally. But who cares?

Mind the fact, that given the database is embedded in the webapp processus, you need some auth machinery to hit the database from the outside world anytime. Which leads to more wheel reinvention like background process scheduling like Celery.

At the end of the day, embedded key-value stores are great because they require _less_ administration and have great performances but the community is fragmented and tooling is not there yet.

I think embedded KV stores have still a chance in niche applications for building expert systems that require persistence but don't change a lot. For a web application which specifications (and schema) change all the time, it's a poor solution.

edit: also, in the context of e.g. wiredtiger having transactions across tables like the full-text search index and plain tables is very great and save quiet a few painful experience of setting up the project.

I don't believe Apple designs for "planned obsolescence", but you appear to have been cautious or lucky enough to buy mature products, not new product lines -- in some cases, the very final iteration of a design.

I own 1 early-model and 2 first-of-its-line Apple products from the 2000's, and they've all had quality issues and are no longer usable. In every case, the flawed feature was improved or simply removed in subsequent models. It's a shame, because I liked them all more than what I replaced them with, apart from the reliability trouble.

On average, I don't think Apple is any worse than any other manufacturer, but they do tend to be more enthusiastic about trying new materials and designs and manufacturing techniques. Perhaps there are people who run out and buy a completely new model on day 1, and discover it's not as robust as the 5-year-old one they were using before (i.e., sample bias).

I was anxiously awaiting the second iteration of the black cylinder Mac Pro, simply because I'm paranoid about buying a first-generation product. Now I'm going to have to wait even longer, because once again there's going to be a completely new design.
Anecdata is not proof, but plenty of people actually make money in LuLaRoe from sales rather than the pyramid structure.
But the internet is real life. It isn't some alternate reality. Your actions online effect real people offline, and they also reflect you. I think a lot of people forget that.
Of course some percentage will seek religion on their own.
But the main point of that fathomless hypothesis is that, on the scale of humanity, today's religion would fall back to old traditions initiated in a previous era and now only followed by factions of lunatics.
I really like finite state machines, for sketching out a basic program flow.

Nothing as complicated as big formal UML diagram, but IMO a quick sketch of a program as a 'grid' is a nice way to visualize and quickly iterate on logic flows.
I like it. It is officially once a year, but reviewed quarterly. My dev manager never fail even if is to busy to say anything constructive. We both chose objectives, we scheduled the next appointment at the end of the current one. I basically have to talk about my performance and say what I think is good or bad with me, or managers.
I am always reminded of the first chapter of Lev Manovich's The Language of New Media where is writes about growing up in the Soviet Union and he took two years of computer programming without ever touching a computer. At the end of the course he got to use a computer once where he put his program into the computer and it doesn't work because he typed Os instead of 0s.
Having done this course 6 months ago, this is a fantastic introduction to the major concerns of practical machine learning.
going off on a tangent here, since you mentioned weather prediction, chance of rain % or probability of precipitation (pop) are computed not only for probability of rain in a given area but also for area of location that will receive the rain if any at all, ie 60% here expresses combination of degree of confidence that rain will occur in an area and geographic coverage of that rain.

What makes you think I was being serious?
This market failure is neither bizarre nor unexpected. The CAs are like ratings agencies in the financial crisis: they are in the business of selling to one party (the website) a credential that they offer to a third party (the browser). Their incentives are aligned to make them sell certificates as cheaply as possible, and they are of course willing to trade off as much security as possible for convenience/cost, as long as they don't go over the lines defined by internet governing bodies and browser vendors. And when they're pushing those boundaries, every once in a while they're going to make a mistake.
Harvard Blew $1B in Bet on Tomatoes, Sugar, and Eucalyptus
Allowing bad behaviour in order to get something cheaper is IMHO the wrong way to do things. If you want to look at why everything is so expensive, look at capitalism and all of the for-profit layers people add to cost structures - extracting value from society and adding a constant negative pressure to the quality of everyone's lives; whether the amount of extracted is reasonable or not is what needs to be looked at in each case. A certain minimum of transportation should likely be a right.
Same here. On top of that, the delivery itself can be pretty sub par. I had one delivery person not understand the concept of entering in a code on a keypad to get into an apartment building. Not having difficulties entering the code, mind you, but not knowing what the keypad was even for.
