I don't think we should. I don't see any rational argument for the inherent moral value of a species. And we should keep in mind that species is just one rung on the taxonomic ladder. It's also an arbitrary grouping with multiple, competing definitions.

I'm saddened by the pain and death of individual organisms, but not the loss of a species that they make up.
That info is available. If a pipe fd is open for reading, then that's the fd for reading...
Thanks, you're right. I've been using the word wrong for a while.
It is really not difficult if you go the petgraph way. Just use a vector and indices into it instead of references.
I think you have downvoters not because people don't believe you, but because there still are people who believe people you sarcastically ridiculed as "good guys" are actually good guys.
The "doxxing employees" thing only carries so much weight with me, because I feel that your correspondence in a corporate environment which impacts billions of people should have accountability, and the corporate party cannot be entrusted with it.

People should not say things even in a private corporate setting that they would not be comfortable if was someday public. Not only can a lawsuit or investigation bring internal correspondence to light, but for instance, some of my correspondence could be FOIA'd! People fail to realize their corporate correspondence is not their private place, and treat it accordingly.

I do have a lot of sympathy for targeted folks like LGBT folks getting harassed, particularly after events like Damore and the related lawsuits and embedded posts/content. But in many cases, they are already publicly identifying their RL name, gender identity, and political positions on Twitter, for example. They weren't so much "doxxed", as they became higher profile due to having been in the news.

This sucks a lot, but we can't hide important information from the public based on the unfortunate reality that soul-sucking nightmare trolls chase every name that gets even the briefest of public attention... imagine if we took that approach/mindset with leaks coming out of the White House.

PS - I really wish more of Memegen was leaked/public. I can't count how many times a news story has led to the thought "darn, I wish I could see what Memegen looks like today".
Fair warning: its 98 pages (!) long. It looks interesting though.
SendGrid has a newsletter/marketing product called "Marketing Campaigns" that's worth a look, it satisfies those three requirements.
Her vote was provisional and removed on review:

Wow - I would've never thought things could be so easy when you just give in to loving big brother!

It's a bit disingenuous to describe this as an "experiment" when the actual effects of the increased surveillance won't be felt immediately, or even in a concentrated fashion. Card companies could easily implement untraceable payment technology. But they don't because they want to profit not just on transaction fees, but on selling your personal transaction data on the back end.

I've personally begun a deliberate effort to use more cash, especially for routine purchases (like groceries) that would be easy to default to using a card for. If needing to interrupt your plans to find ATMs becomes a burdensome occurrence, the problem isn't cash but your planning.
I'm not sure I see the difference between having your text editor configured vs. having your shell configured. My shell is my primary interface to my computer and I spend at least as much time interacting with it as I do my text editor. I just don't see the advantage of leaving it un-configured. You must jump systems much more often than I do.

> I suppose we all look at the world from the perspective of our own experience.

Yes, but in addition to that, I think you can likely sell an idea to people much easier when it's couched in something they are already familiar with. There's been lots said about the functional programming capabilities of Rust, but if people don't already equate what they do as following some functional paradigm, they might find themselves uninterested in the discussion.

I think Python especially, with its "one way to do it" and (my perception) how people adhere to "the way to do it in Python", there's a good chance some people don't really know when they are using common functional patterns.
I would recommend giving Pyramid a try: https://trypyramid.com/

It's a framework that allows you to start with a single file, but also allows you to more logically then split your application up and grow with a huge amount of plug-ability while providing many sane defaults to start off with.

It is not a batteries included framework, so it gives you the flexibility to figure out what is best for your application vs being forced into a certain convention.

>> I've never worked at a company that takes data protection as seriously as FB, or has the caliber of people protecting data.

I don't doubt this, but I think Facebook has a flawed culture that allows and encourages employees to use this mindset as a rationalization for unethical things like:

- run emotional experiments on news feeds

- silently logging all Android users' calls and texts

- allow proliferation of fake news

- allow buying of propaganda ads from state actors

- zero safeguarding of data to ensure it wasn't sold by app creators/devs.

Data is central to facebook's business model and the ability to collect, analyze, and sell lots of data (a natural result of the 'big data' hype) became an infatuation for facebook employees.

The Boz memo supports my point - except he cleverly hides it as 'grow at all costs' rather than the underlying 'collect/analyze/sell data at all costs'.
I feel like my original answer ended up playing to that tendency to undervalue design here. Which ain't great. I guess my point was that it's super easy to look at a design and feel like it looks great and miss the fact that design is developed closer to the conclusion of a process that begins with developing a compelling message and story. Because folks miss that, "what's a great landing page?" is a question that usually ends up delivering a lot of landing pages that look the dopest, appeal to the most people, whose design and message is accessible, rather than landing pages that are actually successful at doing what they need to do (which may fly right by folks not in the intended audience).

Fwiw, I think you're right. 3x is probably what the match of design and message results in, especially because a lot of what software does can't be described merely in words. It needs design to put the accent on the right things, or else will fail to communicate (most of the time).
Kids under 18 used to be valued as factory workers.

Our society decided humans become more valuable when they are given the opportunity of a childhood filled with education instead of manual labor.
These specialized teachers are non-existent in many schools. You may have a PE teacher, but they may or may not already be full time. Art teacher? LOL

Many school districts around the country are far too broken to worry about start times. The republicans have done a very good job of starving education for money over the last 20 years, and rampant corruption within the teachers unions and school/district administrations doesn’t help the situation.

I had been under the impression that you could just feed text into neural nets, and then ... magic!

But, no. As it turns out, the very first problem you encounter when trying to implement ML on text is that you need to transform the text into some set of numbers (the "vectors"), with the elements in the set matching the number of nodes in your input layer.

This is a tricky thing to do. You're essentially trying to "hash" the text in a way which uniquely represents the text you're working with and also gives the neural net something it can operate on. Which is to say, you can't just use a common hashing algorithm, because the neural net won't be able to learn anything from the random output of the hashing algorithm.

There are several different approaches being used for this. One of them, mentioned elsethread, is "bag-of-words", where you build a big dictionary of word-to-number associations and then do some variety of transformations on that. Another is "feature extraction", where you might try to input a value representing properties like the length of the sentence, the number of words, the vocabulary level of the words, and so on. (This would probably be a bad approach for most ML goals on long text.)

This paper presents another approach.

Uh... lots of high school students literally fall asleep in the middle of class. There's a reason it's a pop culture cliche.
Then it’s better to “rewire” these kids before they get to the real world and have to wake up early, or else they will be poor performers.

> Pretty embarrassed about our current state of leadership skills. In my current organization, we call this syndrome "bring me a rock".

This sounds like an example of the AZ problem[1].

Python has good facilities for a solid chunk of functional programming “in the small”. List comprehensions, map, filter, and reduce are all there with clear, easy to understand syntax. It’s no Haskell, but these are definitely niceties.

That said, I don’t see where the author put forward the idea that functional programming is Pythonic so much as “these are functional things that are great in python, here are some analogs in rust”.
While I would like to agree with the article and say it's something else's fault, it's totally my own doing that I stay up late watching TV or playing games. It's not my "biological" clock keeping me up, it's the stimulus I'm getting that's keeping me up, especially with games. I'm sure if I pulled myself from a screen starting at 9pm, I'd be asleep by 10 or 11 instead of 1:30am
It would be like canning a pudding. They're quite mushy when ready to eat.

I think it's nice that more and more languages take inspiration from the Python community.

For example, I've recently found a way to use Python-like type hints in C++. Crazy, huh? The trick is to replace "auto" with the concrete type name, e.g.:

auto x = 5;

becomes:

int x = 5;
As someone who has done a ML course, did a primitive Word2Vec but doesn't really follow the field all that close - how important is this and how does it compare to what came before?
Kids will learn. Tween-aged kids have no conception for how difficult life can be and it doesn't matter how much you tell them so. The point with kids is to build up their confidence and sense of possibility, and help explain to them the specific consequences for the mistakes they inevitably make as they test out this possibility.

Telling young girls they can "get rich quick" is not the best way to go about all this, but it mostly serves to show, in part, what is possible. Girls are not reading these flashy magazines for deep reading. It's not something they consciously mull over as they read-- the effect is subconscious. The more magazines consumed, the more the messages of what's possible become more concrete in the background, and she will start to pay attention to the Youtubers she loves from a different perspective-- one of gathering tips and watching for how they became successful. That is, if she wants to start a business anyways. Mostly moms pick up these magazines for their kids.

edit: I also want to say that becoming successful in an enterprise like Youtube while one is young is phenomenal for confidence. Even just starting to create is very good for confidence. The venture won't last forever, but the adult will always have the confidence they built in their younger years.

The 'single line if' is even cooler than that in rust, IMO. Everything being an expression allows really neat combinations inside statements.
Np, just to be clear my experience is "insider's experience" in the sense of being involved with others in the tech scene in the area, not the first hand experience with the company myself. I've known and worked with plenty of people who have worked for the company, enough to know it wasn't a place I wanted to go. So take what I said with a grain of salt as well.

I merely wanted to offer a counter point based on what I know. There are definitely far worse companies out there.
I'd recommend a Thinkpad T series (or even P series if high budget), use the perks code found on the r/thinkpad wiki and you can get a T series at a really good price. Great Linux support, quality build, great keyboards and screens (esp >FHD models), and up to 32GB RAM as well. The new T480 is light and powerful and features Intel's 8th gen ULV quad-core CPU, or you can get a T470s if a dual-core is acceptable.
Yes, but then that prop would need to be passed down explicitly through every component. This would require a _lot_ of boilerplate.

I'm honestly torn between two explanations here...

1) The people who wrote this had no idea what they were biting off because our legislators and courts seem to continue to fail at understanding technology before they seek to regulate it. They thought this did some narrow thing and just ran with it while failing to understand the implications.

2) They are so focused on 'protecting the children' that they knew and didn't care.

I'm honestly torn on which is worse.

That being said, I am somewhat shocked that the major tech companies are interpreting this so broadly already.
I've got an idea. Is there any way to place targeted advertisement inside Facebook's internal communications feed?

Based on Facebook's latest reactions to media coverage and memos shared to public I was able to deduce an ad profile which I'd like to sell. Facebook, it appears, might start looking for external psychological and legal counselling, and I might have third parties interested in targeting that circumstance.

The next version of the MacBook will likely support Thunderbolt. Current Intel chipsets require a rather large (and power-hungry) chip for Thunderbolt (MBPs actually have two of them!), but it'll be integrated soon; they'll get it for 'free'.

Don't forget that a React project might be made of many libraries--not just React itself--that might be worse at supporting legacy versions and guaranteeing mooth upgrades.
Yeah that's nice but telling individuals to be curators doesn't help them solve any coordination problems, and no individual can reasonably curate more than a tiny sliver of what they might find valuable, not least because there is great content that a person might value but has yet to become aware of.

It's mentioned at the top of the linked page, but just to highlight it, this is only an excerpt from the longer piece "Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big" which was written in 1991 and talks at length about the then-current state of the Lisp world and its future.

Re: wires getting crossed - If our energy systems aren't flowing properly then our own magnetic field and energetic defences are prone, weak. Part of how Ayahuasca/DMT functions is breaking down/limiting the ego mind's control, so if someone's maintaining normal appearances using ego mind's control - then who knows what's underneath once ego has lost its grasp. This is in part why yoga styles like Kundalini and Laughter Yoga are contraindicated for people with schizophrenia, as these practices purpose is to let go/challenge the ego, and therefore it seems that a person prone to a schizophrenic state uses ego control to gain function.

Depending on the company, it can also be a symptom of excess management layers.

If your grand-manager tells your manager "ok, today your job is to cut $X from this team's budget", then she'd better do that. She might know full well you have the time and capacity to do it yourself, but if she passed it down the chain someone might notice she wasn't doing anything.

Which, obviously, is equally dysfunctional. But it can explain why someone who isn't generally a micro-manager is churning up extra work.

It probably depends on the size of the school or school district.

I went to large schools for both MS and HS, and all of our PE teachers only taught PE throughout the day, as it was offered all seven class periods as there were simply too many students to only offer the class two to three periods.

In HS, freshman tended to have the largest class sizes as they only had two class periods to choose from, and were split between male and female. They'd rotate through all sports during the school year. All other years got to choose their class period and were able to select the sport(s) they wanted, and would rotate through different teachers quarterly, within that same class period, based on those selections.

Coaches that only taught electives usually rotated in teaching Health/Sex Ed and Driver's Ed.
