I haven't tried it myself but I'm pretty sure both TypeScript and Flow has support for JSdoc, so while you don't have to transpile your code you can still use it as a linter. And you should also get the auto-complete and re-factory goodies. Also note that TypeScript and flow can do inference, eg they can know the type without you annotating it. Microsoft will not fully support inference and doctype though as it's their strategy to Embrace and extend JavaScript, but they have tried for many years and not succeeded. Google also tried with Dart, which is a much better language but too complicated/hard to learn compared to JS. It's very nice that they make tools like static analysis for JavaScript, but they don't have to turn it into another language! For example instead of making the programmer write annotations everywhere, show a hint where inference fail and where interface is needed. Ohh and don't get me started on "correctness", even static type systems like in Java can't prove "correctness" and has to rely on runtime checks. And it's not like the type system will detect all bugs, just the obvious ones. And JavaScript is far from static, it can change many times during runtime. Instead of bolting on a type system, embrace the dynamic nature of JavaScript, and write dumb naive code that a five year old can understand. Use abstractions, use proper naming (even name the anonymous functions), comment where needed. Check function parameters and throw errors! And write tests!
Ironic that you accuse someone of being a cock-sure know nothing asshole without a shred of evidence that app store rejections are somehow malware-deterrence driven.

Unless your vitriolic rant arises from some jingoistic fervor for Apple, and it bat-blinds you to Apple's totalitarian rules of engagement, the evidence is really, really apparent!!

Or maybe you really enjoy the Stockholm syndrome of Apple telling you want apps you can and cannot run on your iPhone. And you really crave for your Mac to get locked down in a similar fashion, in some sadomasochistic homage to your tormentor. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

respectfully, this isn't the way to conceptualize any medical therapy. it's never "this will save you" or "go die", it's always "you will eventually die, this might forestall it, we're never sure, and there's a big list of potential drawbacks."

a person who can be helped by a medical intervention will die no matter what, but if they get an organ transplant or a pacemaker or continuous dialysis or a cancer removed, they may live a little bit longer, as far as scientists observe, although sometimes with significant difficulties. immunosuppression and chemotherapy both deactivate certain organ systems.

no one can see the future. cancer treatments seem to help some people and be useless for others, and it might all come down to something like, "uh cancer stem cell #13491340 was not destroyed, and there was metastasis." the idea with tumor excision is usually to prevent there from being so many potentially-metastatic stems.

I'm not exactly the biggest Scrum fan, but just a few weeks ago, I had this exact issue (we're dependent on getting fixes and changes accepted upstream), and it wasn't a big deal to fit it into the framework.

You can only get folks to commit stuff they have responsibility over. External dependencies are not really part of Scrum per se; they are part of the the larger project management part of managing every team.

We assigned an LOE task to me to shepherd/beg/nag my bits through. I (nor anyone else dealing with an outside party) couldn't commit to getting it done, but I can commit to helping it along.

> It's absolutely perverse that, instead of striving for a more egalitarian society, we would effectively force the most vulnerable among to sell themselves to scientific experiments to survive

So, you think the situation they're in now, where they don't have this option, is preferable to the one where they do have this option? Nobody said anything about 'instead of', either.

The point is: unless you have a perfectly egalitarian society, some people will have more stuff and other people will have less. Jobs offering stuff are, inherently, more attractive to those who currently have less stuff. There is nothing wrong about that, in fact, that's the mechanism by which people with less stuff acquire more stuff. Why, exactly, do you believe they shouldn't be able to make that choice for themselves?
How does this increased productivity benefit the workers? Are they getting any personal upside for working harder, I wonder?
"This is a similar problem to the ratings of religious books on Amazon and similar sites. Appeal to a very narrow niche, disappeal to anyone else, satisfy that niche, and your percentage ratings will be very high (even though almost all customers know, correctly, that they dislike your product)."

That makes the ratings more useful, I think. The rating is only really interesting to those who don't know if they'll like a book, and those are the people in the niche.

Sounds Datomic, but way less efficient.
I am really confused by what you are saying. It sounds like you think that electrons are point particles with charge that have some position somewhere. This is frequently a convenient model, but the last 100 years have showed pretty convincingly that the "reality" is that electrons are wavefunctions (or if you want to be pedantic, excitations of a particular quantum field).

At this point, arguing about "are atoms mostly empty space" becomes a futile semantic argument. The model you picked in order to defend this statement is indeed useful in some limits, but it has been proven wrong. Imagining electrons as clouds has proven to be much closer to reality.
It might be a plugin called String Manipulation.
It is actually when the primordial black holes are too large, that we can't find them with lensing, we know the mass density of dark matter and if the black holes are large on average, then we would not see them with lensing because lensing events would be too rare. If the black holes are smaller, then there are a lot of lensing events and we can detect them. At somewhat larger scales one expects to see black holes due to interactions with stars.

That leaves a rather small window in between were black holes as dark matter works, but nobody has postulated a plausible mechanism to only generate black holes in a narrow mass range, so the idea can be made to work, but fell out of fashion because the wimp miracle looked theoretically more attractive.
That sounds like considerably more work.
> it's because they don't actually understand the process

That's my point. They paid money to get "certificated", get jobs as project managers or scrum masters but have no idea how development or agile actually works. I've have come across a lot of these types of people.

Chemistry education research describes US pre-college chemistry education content as "incoherent". A challenge when teaching high-school stoichiometry, is students not viewing atoms as real physical objects.

... I've had repeated conversations of the form "What do you think of this alternate way to teach X, which seems to yield a deeper understanding?" "Nifty! But... my students take the MCAS [high-stakes exam for medical school] soon, and all they need to know there is [rote-memorized superficiality]. Instruction time is short, and I'd be doing my students a disservice to spend time doing better."

... Plug-and-chug is a thing. Among teaching staff too. A widely-used text, repeated revised, for years had a problem 'apply the idea gas law to <conditions which would make it a solid> Argon'.

... Innumeracy is pervasive in society. There's more than a half century of journal letters from professors complaining that their physics/geology/other PhD candidates lack a quantitative feel for the field. http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/ started with one graduate student realizing their own lack, and trying to do something about it.

... A five-year old wishing to know what color finger paint to use for the Sun, had best not ask first-tier astronomy graduate students, who pervasively get this wrong. Of the few local outliers, as many learned it in a seminar on misconceptions in astronomy education, as in their "successful" astronomy education. Asking a follow-up question of "what color is sunlight?" often elicits as double take, as two rote-memorized inconsistent factoids collide, apparently for the first time.

You can do good astronomy research, without an informed five-year old's knowledge of Sun color. Years ago, a front-page NYTimes article went by, accurately reporting(!) a claim... that the Universe is green. Some folks working with spectra, had for outreach pushed them through some buggy open-source color code, and lacked the basic understanding to recognize the result as nonsense.

The then Brazilian education system was capable of training for rote regurgitation. But not for research. The US system is capable of training for research. But not for numerate multidisciplinary understanding. As is perhaps needed, for example, to create non-wretched science education content.

So as we look at the dysfunctional memorize-and-regurgitate of the Indian education system, it's worth remembering that we're facing similar challenges^W opportunities for transformational improvement.
Tricks Make Virtual Reality Feel Real (2016)
Particles like that would be ordinary matter. In the quantities necessary to produce the effects attributed to dark matter, we would be able to detect them easily.

Even if they remained "dark" - not emitting any light of their own - they would block or otherwise interfere with the light coming from everything behind them.

The reason PBHs can be a dark matter candidate is because they can compress enormous amounts of matter into a very small space, and are difficult to detect when they're not interacting with ordinary matter.

As usual, common sense applies. The issue is regarding unnecessary names. If it's really a product name or industry wide then use it, but many companies tend to come up with acronyms that are only used internally or within a single team and this hurts communication.

Yeah, right. Personal references aren't worth squat because nobody gives references that are going to badmouth them.

The worst hire I've ever seen had a highly positive reference from a previous job.
The plots I linked to are for a single atom. If you have many other atoms around it, the smearing becomes different. For instance, in metals some of the electrons are completely smeared over the whole macroscopic piece of metal (this is a bit handwavy, but not incorrect phrasing). Chemical bonds also happen due to deforming and sharing of those "smeared" clouds between neighboring atoms.

If you have too much external pressure (gravity), those smeared electron clouds come too close to the nucleus, react with it, and the only thing left is neutrons.

How the mud near this small Japanese island could change the global economy
Sure, if you want to think of the thing that is formed by all combined requests from all clients over the lifetime of the database, as a program - then that might (or might not) be a complex program. But the unit in which exceptions are confined with this architecture is the simple, dirty request handler script.

Which likely doesn't even try to handle any errors, and may actually be a bad, faulty program - the edge cases just don't matter that much for businesses. Maybe an e-mail will be sent out twice in a few circumstances, etc: nobody cares.

Transaction management is implemented in the database server, and very likely that doesn't employ exceptions. And more complexity is implemented by the OS (the "process server" if you will) - if your program dies it specifies how to handle the condition, etc. Another part of complexity is dealt with by the language runtime, for example garbage collection - no exceptions to be seen there.

I dunno that this is really any easier to use than a Shapeoko, which is $1900 for the largest version (33" x 33" x 3" working area) with router included. The software for Shapeoko is pretty idiot proof, it can do a 2D carve from an SVG file with no more difficulty than the Origin, while you also have the ability to do 2.5 and 3D operations, which I don't think the Origin can do very well if at all.

There's some cases where the Origin would be killer (e.g., DIY furniture), but I feel like for most makers a stationary CNC router is a better choice. There are some really good, easy to use options at that price point, $2400 seems a bit crazy.

Supposing that the GRU hacked the DNC and RNC, but only gave WikiLeaks the DNC stuff, the RNC stuff would not see the light of day. Now maybe that exculpates Wikileaks, since they didn't have the RNC stuff to leak. Maybe it implicates them- if they knew the info was from Russia, and knew that Russia was trying to damage Clinton, and coordinated with the GRU to maximally damage her. Both things could be true.

On the third hand, Assange spent time suggesting that the information definitely didn't come from Russia, and suggesting it might have been Seth Rich. But information came out the shows that he was talking with Guccifer 2.0, who was widely suspected (at the time!) to be GRU and if he wasn't, was meant to be a Romanian hacker, not a DNC whistleblower. So there's at least tenuous evidence that Assange was willing to both work with Russian intelligence and rope in an entirely unrelated death to muddy the waters on where the info came from.
I don't see how the analogy works. The entire point is you have a medical record with objective characteristics that can be tied to the risk of any given procedure.
That means there's an opportunity / gap in the market.

Demand for risky operations by motivated buyers, should lead to some doctors taking on the role / label of risk-takers / explorers.

Since they can get the customers other, risk averse doctors are turning away, and pull in rare-treatment seekers on their own.

We rotated through all of them and our pay was tied substantially to them, which I guess also created an incentive to make it hard to get good metrics all the time on the part of someone else in the organization.

Since the Wikipedia article does not say, we can not be sure. I interpreted that sentence to intend to describe the long term operating costs without consideration of the up-front installation costs (which obviously will inflate the actual long term operational costs if installation costs were amortized over the lifetime of the unit).

To be more technically correct. "Dark matter" is the word we use to describe the thing that would explain why galaxies and the stars within them do not move in accordance with the gravitational model we believe explains what we see.

We assume that our gravitational model is correct and that an additional item is needed to bring the model into agreement with the observations made. When a model seems to work so well, we are generally unable to go back and look at the basis (and assumptions) on which our theories are made. This applies in all areas of our lives, including all of our science. That is the nature of who people are.
I mean, in general, a hostile tactic like this is likely to get the agent to do as little as possible as he can to help you while staying within the rules.

Calacanis Launches Open Book Challenge to Counter Facebook
I hit a number of walls professionally, interviewed more ambitiously (and unsuccessfully), and in general discovered the delineation between my perceived and actual values. It was more "look at me doing what people go to school for and make careers out of just because I can" novelty instead of realizing what kind of role I was serving, understanding my market, and trying to have good business sense. I thought of what I did as a series of problems to solve for cash instead of a mutual relationship, and I was just good at getting my foot in the door. Pretty obvious mistakes, really.

Even more generally, I left my comfort zone and put my experience to the test against people with either a lot more resources and education. I either was unable to complete these larger scale jobs, wasn't able to negotiate effectively or else let them run all over me with pay or feature creep, or had to be able to say (read: admit) I couldn't actually do or understand the work as I was.

The echoes meme comes from a neonazi podcast who would play an echo sound effect behind every single mention of a Jewish sounding name. When people on Twitter put the (()) around their own names, they are intentionally marking themselves as Jewish so as to raise a middle finger to the neonazis who started the meme. So if someone references "people with (()) around their name", they're talking about Jews. That's who puts (()) around their own names on Twitter.

Well, right, you might not immediately understand and identify with someone else's problem. That is, you won't empathize with them. But you could say that you sympathize with them, if their pain causes you to feel pain as well (or joy, or...whatever). Or their situation may cause you to feel compassionate, if their suffering makes you want to help. I think that there are already words that name the feelings you're talking about.

"Empathy" has a generally-accepted meaning. You can disagree with it if you'd like...but it will hinder communication to use words in ways that they aren't commonly used.
> But the electron or many electrons filling out its entire orbit is not compatible with any of that or any experimental evidence.

On the contrary, imagining the electron as a smeared cloud (a complex-valued wave function with a bunch of specific properties), is pretty much the only way to explain chemical bonds.

The confusion stems from semantics. Sure, nobody claims that an electron has been detected at two spots simultaneously, not because it does not happen, rather because to say that you need the premise that the electron is a point particle with a position.

Sure, it is useful to claim that the electron is a point particle - in plenty of circumstances it does look like one. But modern physics pretty conclusively has demonstrated that it is actually something described by a wave function, that is most certainly smeared over space.

I am a physicist, so I will leave the discussion of whether "smeared" is a good word for it to the philosophers and linguists. It is a good enough word for me, when I try to derive properties of atoms.
