This has been the case for a long time in applied mathematics and computer science (not so much pure mathematics). There are hedge funds using work that is not only unpublished, but also unknown to research labs like FAIR and Google Brain. The easiest way to be scouted by one of those funds is to publish research that looks like you’re on the verge of re-discovering their work.
Why bypass the code review for high priority fixes? That's when you need it the most.
At a medium sized company. Everything gets code reviewed by one or two teams. Only one or two approvals are required. Stash/bitbucket is used and we leverage the Default Reviewers feature. The process works very well, is integrated with our ticketing system (Jira) and build system (Bamboo). We are nice in the code reviews but thorough and a little pedantic about style.

The only reason I can picture not doing code review is if there is only one developer. It is an excellent way for everyone to learn, reduce bugs, reduce spaghetti code, force you to write tests, etc.
If you're learning something foundational, it's usually incredibly dull until after you've learned it. Its difficult to imagine anyone finds matrices, and associated basic operations, to be an interesting representation until after they've learned to make use of it to understand bigger ideas. Those first few lectures are horribly boring. And of course, undergrad is mostly foundational learning.

And then you should consider that at least in the US, you have 2 years of general education; that is, you have 2 years of courses outside the field you've explicitly decided liking.

And of course you can have a preference of practical over theory, where most lectures on theory are uninteresting unless they clearly lead up to a practical implication, that you're currently interested in.

It's absurd to imagine that anyone goes to college with a 100% interest in every course, unless the college caters directly to each student's whim. And we know they don't, and im not sure we want them to.
I, too, meditated for 10-30 minutes a day for about a year before attending a Vipassana retreat and had the same experience. Even upon returning from the retreat and meditating 30 minutes in the morning and 30 in the evening, I was not able to replicate the experience of the course. I returned and served for three days last fall, during which time I meditated for 3-4 hours a day and began to approach the feelings once or twice.

Speech and words can be loaded with ideological stances. Those can amount to political violence over time, and normalize such against others.

Speech and words aren't passive, but rather loaded ideologically and politically.

This doesn't begin to decant the fallacy of "unlawful."

The system by which people have to spend 8 years in school to become doctors and the limited amount of spots in medical schools is one of the main impediments to lower health care costs since doctor salaries are astronomical compared to other countries.

Quartz is publishing such interesting content.
Yes i do whenever possible - that is, if the team i work with as a freelancer already does or is willing to follow my advice to do it. That is - disturbingly - not always the case.

I only worked with gitlab abd github pull/merge request code review tooling and found it ok.
There’s Gerrit, but i had no chance to work with it yet.
Obviously always depends on how they need to be done. When in doubt, just sit next to each other and look at the part of code and changes for the current task your working on that is about to be merged. Not always a special tool necessary and if you don’t know which one to use better just start than let the tool choice get in the way. That being said I’m not against tools!

Suggestions?
As with any process or meeting, define what the scope is!
Is it about coding style? Which are your guidelines for that one then? Is it about getting a second look if the story is implemented in a good, efficient way?
Is it to verify definition of done rules are met? About having (good) tests?
It’s probably not (counterexample i just had) to discuss the actual requirements defined by the story the code should fulfill... that should have happened at another time, probably with other persons, like the Product Owner.
How often? I think it’s best to do it with each merge request for the code it contains, and maybe in defined tinespans for the whole project.
> Yes, Anaconda + Jupyter is an environment and org mode is not. That’s a big reason Jupyter is so popular.

You're again comparing apples to oranges. If you want to use Jupyter, you need to install a whole lot of stuff (easier to do if you're using Anaconda, agreed). It's "not simple" enough that there are public docker images for it. My point is that when tooling is an issue, you can do the exact same thing with an org-based setup.

>My point was Jupyter inflicts far less technical burden and debt on other people. There’s a huge downside to custom environments. If that’s not obvious, that explains why it’s hard to understand jupyter’s popularity.

I agree that there's difficulty in achieving reproducible environments, and that's why there's tools that handle that for you. I think that much of Jupyter's popularity comes from the fact that it's easily available, and based on Python, which let's non-programmers get started moderately quickly. I just don't think that it's the best choice. This is not to shit on Jupyter, I've mentioned a bunch of advantages of using org (which by the way, you haven't really addressed, other than focusing on the setup aspects)

> I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way, but this borders on white tower programmer centric dismissiveness.

It's not, really. My point is that when you're doing presumably advanced analysis on presumably complex data, you (should!) certainly have the capacity to deal with tooling.
I would not like to discuss the first question in a public forum. I was below 40 when it was discovered - the total amount was unknown (how much is stored), but fortunately (not common for low-dose chronic exposure) I had significantly elevated levels on blood, urine (well, of course) and also in hair.

The biggest effect from the doctor's point of view was when the endocrinologist found that my double-size right thyroid with a 5 mm nodule had shrunk back to normal and the nodule had disappeared, which I had had for decades. It could be a attributed to the chelation therapy because during the first year already the tissues surrounding the that part of the thyroid became very active for a few weeks after each DMPS injection. That was the reason why I went to the endocrinologist again in the first place: I had suspected - hoped - that this had happened. Since a nice biomedical-imaging supported proof was worth a lot more than everything else, because saying "I always had more and more severe and longer-duration colds from year to year and now it has all stopped" and a long list of other things just don't sound very impressive (although the impact is much greater, I never had thyroid trouble, the condition was just there).

This is precisely the kind of question for which you won’t find any meaningful, public answer. I’d be thoroughly shocked if you could find someone in the know to give you an answer even anonymously.
Responders have been making the argument that Jupyter is beating Mathematica because of financial or social issues. I'd like to posit a different interpretation, which could be construed to encapsulate these reasons, as well as additional other factors.

Jupyter has a lower friction to adoption and usage than Mathematica, for a definition of friction which encompasses ease of acquisition and sharing. I include economic considerations in the ease of acquisition and sharing. Lack of proprietary walled garden lock-in/lock-out factors in as well.

People are also likely considering the longer term scenario, whereby data, model, and information interchange has been hindered by proprietary formats (the "wall" in the walled garden) and lack of complete information on how to get information in and out. Which is what the OP was complaining about, as they were not able to easily construct a publication quality preprint/submission from one, but could do it easily from the other.

Some of these sources of friction are effectively "own-goals", that is, you increase friction in such a way as to prevent something that people need to do, to be effectively impossible. Or you hide it. Or disable certain groups from using that functionality.

Then the question is balancing the longevity of the format, the proprietary value against alternatives. Increasingly, people are less interested in this friction for a number of critical systems.

I am looking at this from the perspective of someone who has a few 10's of MB of data/writings on 25-30 year old 3.5 inch and 5.25 inch floppies. These are in formats for which I may not have an ability to extract the data/information without some significant effort.

The formats that have survived well for me over the last 30 years have been either open, or readable/writeable with open tools. The closed ones, not so much luck with.
And it's not even all about ads. Troll armies were not a thing until a few years ago.
> I will say I suspect your point will have a hard time gaining traction.

Actually, I think it's pretty main stream in medicine. Not exactly my point about cold/flu and heavy metal poisoning (which is extremely specific) but in much more general terms: "Do no harm" and a reluctance to do anything unless a person is clearly and identifiably sick is something most doctors subscribe to AFAIK, apart from those who make headlines (as a group and occasionally individually) for over-treatment and even too much surgery. They (doctors) prefer to wait and see because they are aware things are much more complicated than what they can diagnose. That's true even for fever, cold and flu treatments, where you'll find plenty of doctors who prefer to let the body do its job and only help around the edges and if it gets bad.

There also is the "too much hygiene" hypothesis not just for allergies, so I don't think that the thought that killing even something as mild as a cold and thereby keeping people's immune systems even less busy than they already are for most people these days might have negative consequences.

I get the feeling a company like this would only make this kind of leap because they have the data to show it will pay off. I.e. they can formulate algorithms to make the best purchases and the most profit. I foresee big gains from this
If the Taiping Rebellion had been successful, China might have become a (very unorthodox, not accepted by any Western church) Christian theocracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion
This is a somewhat confusing way of putting it. This Bible isn't written in Mandarin (PRC or Taiwanese dialects thereof) and that's why it's using these non-Unihan characters. A Taiwanese Mandarin version wouldn't be using these characters. This Bible is written in (Taiwanese) Hokkien and that's why the GP is having issues with finding these characters in Unihan.

EDIT: I do appreciate that "Taiwanese" as in Taiwanese characters is ambiguous. I initially also read that as a "characters used in works written for a Taiwanese audience in Taiwanese Mandarin."

> Jupyter isn’t competing with emacs, it’s not an editor.

I'm fully aware of that, my point was that functionality- and ergonomics-wise, you're better off using Emacs/org. I agree that it's not for everyone, but for people working on data science, it's a much more powerful tool.

>Adding git as a dependency to sharing is too much in general, that would prevent sharing.

I think we probably have vastly different target audiences in mind.
Seconded. Code reviews obviously helps for catching the small bugs/inefficiencies that the submitter hasn't thought of, but a surprising side-effect of having mandatory code reviews is that it actually helps everyone learn about the system as a whole, together. There's no better way to learn than to see someone (sometimes even yourself!) try something, hear that it's not correct, and see the fix. The failing and recovering steps are sometimes more helpful than just seeing "this is how we do it"-comments.

Regarding the big diffs: sometimes it's inevitable because you're doing a big formatting of the code, or you're just doing a no-op refactoring introducing new primitives. If you do so, separate commits with one being the refactoring with no functional changes, and one being the actual changes. Makes review much easier.
A thought: Don't let some of the (valid) criticism alone dissuade you from reading this.

IMO the author makes some very valid points about fuzzy products and endpoints in the current AI/data/ML/magic craze. These are under-articulated elsewhere, because, well hey there's a lot of money flowing! Who wants to be a killjoy and not "get it" (just like in 1999 ;)?

Two more specific points:
1. The descriptions of the CEO are eerily familiar to me. This guy is almost an archetype. Reminds me of a person I've worked with in that role who was also associated with a similar-ish company. It really paints the con-game side of all this.

2. A deeper point (and worth the read for me) was the author's thinking about how all this didn't fit existing needs and workflows and then has a chilling thought:
"It’s possible that the market for a user-hostile data
system that inaccurately predicts the future and turns its
human operators into automatons exists after all, and is
large."
You can make an argument that this kind of thing has already happened in modern customer service and, with greater negative impact, in healthcare. I.e. where the tail of easy metrics and saleable endpoints ends up wagging the dog of quality.

I suspect this may not be too well received, but I've thus far managed to avoid regular formal reviews, and I'd advise others to think twice before imposing them.

It can be a lot faster, but it can also be slower. With databases, the answer for almost everything is "it depends." Here, it really depends on how big the table is, how many rows you're updating, what the indexes are, how much RAM is available, etc.

My point is that, in a vacuum, you can't really say anything about what the performance difference will be. Yes, you can certainly find instances where the performance is better, but it may not be much.

My point is that the complexity of writing the statement is non-trivial, and unless you have a good reason to you shouldn't use CASE. It shouldn't be your first choice, is all I'm saying. For example, the example you provided here is not even valid SQL. It should be:

UPDATE TABLE place
SET rating = (
CASE WHEN id = 1 THEN 25
WHEN id = 2 THEN 94
WHEN id = 3 THEN 16
END
)
WHERE id IN (1, 2, 3)

Keep in mind, I also said: "If performance becomes a problem on this query, you can fix it later when you can focus on just that one issue and understand the specific problem much better."
From what I know about go and JSON and what is possible in other languages I would never call it wonderful.

From wikipedia on Morse code:

> In his earliest code, Morse had planned to transmit only numerals, and to use a codebook to look up each word according to the number which had been sent. However, the code was soon expanded by Alfred Vail in 1840 to include letters and special characters, so it could be used more generally. Vail estimated the frequency of use of letters in the English language by counting the movable type he found in the type-cases of a local newspaper in Morristown. //

M [1] is always well down the frequency in general lists. I wonder if Vail's corpus was biased, whether he discounted local names.

Interesting to note that Morse planned a code using a dictionary; should we be calling it Vail code?
