I've always thought that English / many other humanities departments learned to avoid much of the controversy that plagued Psychology departments by simply avoiding any data altogether.

If Fredericks and Losada had written nearly the same thing, using the same evidence but without the fancy maths, it would no doubt be accepted and lauded within English departments. Any attempts to fight it could be battled in the same way the humanities departments responded to Sokal in the 90's: by derriding him as "a pedant, a literalist and a cultural imperialist".
worrying about success is unmitigated idiocy. everyone gets caught up in this herd mentality of wanting to have the best image on instagram and etc. when i was in college, 90 percent of the other people in the cs program were blatant zuckerberg wanna-bes. they all carried around a silent, bulging arrogance because they thought they were going to be rich. they also felt anxiety about being successful and their response was to double down on computer science. instead of questioning the anxiety itself -- the basics -- they embark on a long, demented journey of trying to become rich and look good on instagram at the cost of everything else in their lives. one day the waves of time will wash over the stories of these peoples lives, leaving behind the rational and impersonal perspective that is only ever widely endorsed in retrospect. and those people who agonize over how successful they look in this time of instagram will be considered idiots. you got bent over by the sentiment of the herd. you allowed your life to be made miserable for no reason. and the ultimate precipice of irony is that this success mentality and social media posturing goes completely against everything that the founders of computer science believed -- their culture.

here is my advice to you. take care of your financial needs. engineer your life so that you are stable financially while maintaining the most modest life-style that is comfortable. in other words, get yourself to a point where the practical aspects of life no longer are a problem. no, i never said it was easy. after that, pursue the tangible aspects of success, or pursue anything you want to, without worry. i say that almost nobody said on their death-bed that they regretted not working harder or that they regretted spending too much time enjoying nature, traveling or spending time with the people they loved. use that fact as a guide-line for choosing what to do.
Texas, Utah, most of the Western US. Saipan, Marinaras, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico... It starts to illustrate how silly the Chinese stance of offense is, now that you mention it.

Why _is_ China so brittle when it comes to Tibet, one wonders? Is it perhaps in their hearts that they know the claim of historicity underpinning current Chinese domination of Tibet is actually flimsy?

One might even consider that it approaches hypothetical and laughable claims launched in the future by the US over Cuba or the Philippines or much of Central America as historical parts of the US.

Yeah. There's a very different expectation for people in their 20's, 30's' 40's, 50's with chat. That is, our expectations around email response times is fairly close, but our expectations around chat (jabber, slack,etc) are less aligned.

Personally, I hate all "chat" channels. My attitude is that you can show up in person, or send an SMS...if it's that important. I get that doesn't align with the new global order and all, but it doesn't change my reaction.

I do two things

* Log anything and everything that feels like it needs to be done. You can't always add every bit of info but everytime logging something new, I do as much as time allows me to.

* Have regular meetings (every two weeks on a wednesday seems to be working great so far) with the whole team to talk about issues that already exist and the new ones that came.

The team can together decide what's worth fixing, help you understand what's not (at least for now).

I've learned everything the hard way so I'm not sure if this is accurate but I believe this is process is also called as backlog management in the agile world.
Name calling is not a valid principle of reason.
To succeed or fail at something, you have to have a goal you were trying to meet. If you're confused about this, I can only assume you don't know what your goals are.

Why would you even consider flagging a reasonable comment containing information you apparently don't dispute?

According to Politico: "Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence"

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/01/antifa-charlottesv...

As you say, I'd like to see both sides of the story, so I would love to hear any evidence you've heard of right-wing groups attacking left-wing demonstrations. I haven't heard any yet.

> What about the far-right protests in Charlottesville

Evidence for the very point you were disputing.

By all accounts, "Unite the Right" was billed as a march to protest the removal of a statue. As far as I know, no one has proven how the violence began, but it is clear that Antifa was there, making this another example of Antifa's presence at someone else's political rally ending in violence.

> the “tiki marches” on Virginia Tech campus

I'm not familiar with the details of this one and can't find it. The Charlottesville march (at UVA) dominates the search results. Was there violence at Virginia Tech? Were Antifa or similar groups involved?

I'm not defending neo-nazi's here - I think their beliefs are both despicable and factually incorrect - but they've been marching in America for years without violence, until Antifa.

There's a lot out there saying to focus on the journey and not the destination.

The best advice a mentor gave me is to realize that the destination is developing the best mindset for any journey.

There is no better feeling than learning, knowing and remembering where your compass is headed and chasing after it without thinking of success, because it is success.

Results, and progress become a product of multiple destinations on the journey. What kind of mindset?

Reframe success to be having the opportunity to try things and learn things every day. If you do the right things, and become the best you can be, success will chase you.

The other is to learn a practice of patience while working hard.

In the meantime, grow. Travel to places that make you uncomfortable to widen your spectrum of human experience - it will not only stretch you apart, it will create space for new growth. The more life experience you have, the better you'll know yourself, and the more well rounded you will become. It is a self-feeding loop of positivity.
I think its so awesome that you are not only bringing this up on HN, but you also seem to have a genuine desire to be successful. Its probably for a noble idea, perhaps it is to make your parents happy, perhaps it is to improve other people's lives around you?

I don't know your goals, but I felt something similar myself a few years ago. Looking back, the main cause of my unhappiness was that my idea of 'success' was what the media depicted: nice house, nice car, big philanthropy initiatives, etc and that wasn't normal. It wasn't normal for me to work hungrily towards financial success. When my friends wanted to hang out, I declined because I was 'too busy trying to change the world'.

Eventually, my scope shifted from "changing the world" to helping those around me. I taught a few friends how to code over the years and helped them get jobs. Now we all bought modest houses next to each other and we hangout all the time, volunteering together and teaching more people how to code. I'm much happier now that I have redefined my meaning of success.

I hate mainstream media and the unsustainable consumerism and desires it creates. It makes it harder than ever to find yourself. Get off Facebook and other media for awhile, hangout with your friends and family more, and I hope you successfully redefine what success mean on your terms.

> "[...] wobei dieses Studium überwiegend von den Bereichen Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik geprägt sein muss [...]"

"dieses" refers to "Studium in einer technischen oder naturwissenschaftlichen Fachrichtung" which means only technical or natural scientific fields qualify.

From my understanding Bioinformatics would qualify, because it could be considered a natural science and the learning content is dominated by topics from the natural sciences, computer science and technology.

Pure computer science would not qualify because it is neither a natural science nor technical. It does not qualify because it doesn't satisfy the precondition to the sentence you quoted.

I'm not a lawyer and this is just my reading of the law and I didn't find any court decisions or anything regarding this topic.

While PM role means different things in different companies (even between teams in bigger companies) let me tell you what you will miss the most transitioning over from Eng:

You can no longer hit a button to compile your work and see the output (even if it is a small part of the whole). As a PM from initial proposal to outcome is typically 6 months or more. And you fill that time with negotiation, communication and a whole lot of politics (the good and bad sides). Then you may see the outcome you had envisioned (but no guarantees).

It is just, different. Be prepared.
It's tough to read the tech workers quoted in the article talking about how they're doing things that farmers did long ago, like figuring out how to maximize egg yield to chicken feed.

There's no point in your life where you'll cross some barrier and think "well, I'm successful now." Stop caring about it so much and focus efforts on better things: finding fulfillment in doing good work, nurturing relationships with other people, and enjoying life.

Just post the link what do I care if someone gains or not in some personal way.

Having taught the topic for almost a decade, I know that both among undergrad and grad students, Stats is viewed as a roadblock by most. In addition, most people who teach the topic, don't want to teach it, so they do it in the easiest way possible: Compute this number, look up this table, tell me if the result is "significant" ... "There, you get an A. One less obstacle on your path to becoming the best doctor, the best journalist, the best I-banker, the best consultant, the best of everything ... To bad you don't know what this all means at all."

Edited to add: Also, I can't bring myself to forget the positive reception Sam Wang got here for absolutely meaningless statistical statements. But, again, most people see Stats as providing the tools with which to make such statements so they can be popular.
The SCSS requirement is weird, especially for something meant to be imported by other projects. Why not use styled-components or emotion instead?
Statistics is barely complex math, hardly more than Algebra formulas one plug in numbers. The theory behind the formulas are the foundations of logic, so the idea that even any significant fraction of professional psychologists do not understand statistics is damning of their their profession. That is similar to accountants being bad at addition and subtraction! Astounding.

As you surmise, I have not read the ruling. I was basing my understanding from the following in the article:

> Q: Why didn't Project Gutenberg block access until the Court made its judgement?

> A: PGLAF's legal advisors disagree that any foreign Court or entity has jurisdiction over its actions regarding copyright. The Court in Germany has promoted a theory that it has jurisdiction, mainly because the www.gutenberg.org site has some content in the German language. ...

> Q: So the court thinks that the presence of content in German means that courts in Germany have jurisdiction, regardless of the fact that PGLAF is entirely in the US?

> A: Yes, that was the original basis of the claim for jurisdiction, which the Court accepted in their judgement. Since then, there some more recent decisions in the European Court of Justice, and other German courts, that support this theory based on a Web site being accessible from a country. I.e., if a Web site is accessible from Germany, there are some cases where German courts claimed jurisdiction over that site, even though it was operated, and based, outside of Germany. These cases involve companies that actually operate (for-profit) in Europe, and the cases were between two European countries (i.e. part of the EU). They are not consistent with prior laws and cases, even in Europe, and also not consistent with provisions of the Berne Convention and other international law.
Allegro + DJGPP does miracles

Hrmmm. I thought something was fishy with the statement: "Tangent: in the real world, there are no real numbers". The reals are defined as the set of all rational and irrational numbers on the number line. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number for a reasonably pedagogical discussion.

There are reals, they do exist. In the "real" world (as poorly defined as that is).

The issue is, fundamentally, what programming languages call "real numbers" are not real numbers. They are an approximation to a subset of the reals. This approximation has holes, and the implementations work to some degree to define regions of applicability, and regions of inapplicability. Usually people get hung up or caught in the various traps (inadvertently) added to the specs for "Reals".

Its generally better to say "floating point numbers" than "Reals" in CS, simply because floating point is that subset of the Reals that we are accustomed to using.

I definitely agree with the comment on rationals. I am a fan of Perl6, Julia and other languages ability to use rationals as first class number types.

Sadly, as with other good ideas that require people alter their code/libraries, I fear this will not catch on due to implicit momentum of existing systems.
Wonderful tool. Thank you!
There was another Tesla software update announced as "almost done": a major update to Autopilot 2, with an all new neural net and what not.

This all new navigation system might include functionality to help, not only the human driver, but that new Autopilot as well.

At some point Autopilot and Navigation will have to merge.
Right now, both systems operate completely separate.

But if those upcoming updates will allow Autopilot to follow the navigation system changing lanes thru highway intersections, than that would indeed be 'light-years ahead'.
