For theoretical computer science, Berkeley in 80s and 90s was a fantastic place: the foundations of cryptography and complexity theory were developed here. A sample: Goldwasser, Micali, Blum, Impagliazzo, Rudich, Arora, Sudan, Karp, the Vazirani's, Rubenfeld, Naor, Sipser, and more. These are the who's who of cryptography and complexity theory, and they all overlapped in time over 1982-92.
Chris-Chan is arguably the most documented person in history(click around sonichu.com for some idea of the scope of documentation), but there's still so much of the minutiae of their life which is unknown, but they would probably consider those things incredibly important.
I should preface this by saying this isn't directed at the parent I'm replying to. It's just the point where I couldn't read anymore without posting. What is offensive is Stack Overflow using this obsequious, cloying, patronizing language and false equivalence -- that women/PoC are broadly inexperienced ("newer coders, women, people of color, and others in marginalized groups") -- to virtue signal for more clicks and advertising dollars, or to push their recruiting effort. I find Stack Overflow's post shockingly distasteful. It takes a lot to offend me, but this is disgusting.

And couldn't they find a better person in this tech company to deliver this message than a white dude VP?

Then they explain that this is really, actually happening because the marginalized groups "do feel less welcome... because they tell us" (emphasis mine). Do these marginalized groups know how everyone else feels? Have the marginalized-but-anonymous users invented a telepathy device with which to gauge their feelings against others?

Please demonstrate how any Stack Overflow user can know that they feel something more or less than any other user.
It's the best. I love Dan Carlin.
It sounds like Peter Thiel's argument about how natural monopolies can afford to invest heavily in R&D because they're financially comfortable. And how competitive industries supposedly don't offer the same room for research. I think he's mistaken on this but nonetheless it's a compelling argument in some cases.

Here's his essay where he expands on it:

Whoops, missed that word. Changes the meaning a bit.
It's bizarre there are few or no offerings in that elusive middle ground. Rails & Django seems a little heavy. Flask & Express a little lite.

I've never written an app that did not need user management, sessions, admin, db access, form processing, views/templating. Web2py is the best I've found (python).
Seconded. Interesting discussion.
Python is generally less to type. Go isn't hard, per se, but it is statically typed and tends to be a bit more verbose.

For me:
Python if there's a specific library I want to use, I'm just hacking out a proof of concept, or I'm working with text.

Golang for higher performance, concurrency, stream processing, and cryptography (it has good libraries for that kind of stuff).
I have limited knowledge of the industry but I know of at least four commercial airplane sellers: Bombardier, Embraer, Airbus, and Boeing. Between (at least) those four (and buying used planes), airlines have drastically cut the cost of domestic flights. The state of the airplane market seems to be "okay".

I do know that the US government did side with Bombardier (CA) from a Boeing (US) lawsuit: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/26/boeing-loses-trade-case-over...

So it seems anti-trust is at least a "threat-in-being".

> but since it's a government controlled company there's a good chance it won't take the offer.

Though the most recent news on this says the deal is in advanced stages (according to Estadão). Apparently, it's likely to happen, given the appointment of a government representative to the board of the newly-formed company.
Actually all of that, together, make him a suspect. Any of it might not, but all of it does. Each piece of evidence reduces the likelihood of coincidence. Now that they have the suspect in custody they should be able to do a one-on-one test with the old DNA and confirm their suspicions to a reasonable degree of certainty, assuming they do their jobs well.

But yes, good luck explaining that math to a jury.
Why is Zero Versioning a good idea?
Without investors pouring money in it, the R&D will stall and that's not something they can sustain.

- AMD has a superior multicore manufacturing process to its competition. They are able to glue multiple die together to form their high-core chips. Others try to stuff as many cores as possible onto a single die. The problem is that the failure rate during fabrication increases exponentially in the number of cores in a die. Through this innovation, AMD has much lower costs when manufacturing many-core chips.

- EPYC has some serious advantages over its main competitor -- 128 PCI-E lanes, and comparable performance on other dimensions, at a lower cost.

- AMD APU's are not something that Nvidia can compete with. The fact that AMD can manufacture both CPU's and GPU's gives them a huge advantage over Nvidia in this space.

In other words, AMD already has a couple of nice moats. It's not like if they don't come up with a breakthrough within a year, they're screwed.

There are many western countries without a single-payer (socialized) system. E.g. Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Greece. That said, almost all of them have national price setting, almost all of them have a mandate, and almost all of them are much more generous to the poor who cannot afford insurance.
I think the cause effect relationship here is not quite what the headline implies. The fact that the trades are high paying, is obviously just correlated with high school grads lining up for university. For example not taking the trades job and going to school instead, lowers the trades' supply of workers, raising their wage.

edit for speculation

Young people see trades as something that will be automated away and there is little future in them. Thanks AI headlines!

Is that really the usual case, or just the narrative of the Qing dynasty?

There's a lot of mismanagement and climactic shifts in the pre-modern period. Often those are tied together, with failures of the hydrological infrastructure. But another common thread is high imbalances in male/female populations, leading to lots of disaffected young men, and millenarian religious movements.

I'm not sure what practical intervention you're suggesting there. We can rebuild existing buildings to be denser, but I'm not sure how you'd make that cheaper than a new suburban home, let alone as appealing to the kind of person who currently buys a new suburban home.

Except part of the problem is that it's not even doing a very good job of giving a good authoritative answer either.

In the earlier days, it was designed to straddle the line more with a wiki; there were "community wiki" questions and answers, but people couldn't get reputation for those, and if someone's question or answer was edited enough it would automatically converted to "community wiki". However, people would get upset about losing the potential karma, so that feature was taken away, and major edits to other people's answers that change the meaning of it started to be discouraged.

However, there's no way for anyone other the person who originally asked a question to change which answer is accepted. So if someone asked a question 10 years ago, and someone gave a bad answer or an answer that is now out of date but which was accepted, and those two people have now left the site, there's no good way to get the first answer to the question to be the correct one. You can write a better answer, and even if it's upvoted, there will still be the accepted answer ahead of it.

I've tried following the original, more wiki-like spirit of the site by editing such answers, and then gotten other people reverting me because the edit would "give reputation to someone who didn't deserve it."

I feel like the incentives, and balance, and community of the site are just off right now. It still serves a useful purpose, but it could be a lot better, but whenever I've tried making suggestions for how to improve, I've gotten so much pushback that I've just given up.

Is it really likely that you'll catch a type exception hours into a training run? The way tf works it'll catch a shape exception before you even start training.
My understanding is that it's actually not all that common for engineers to do quite the same things attackers do, since a lot of intel is fairly specific. Sure, abnormal network or process behavior might cause interest, but if it's not connecting to "superbadmalware.org" or running "known-exploit.exe", a dev probably doesn't cause very many false positives. It probably depends on the company, and the people looking out for that company will know the difference.

As for what to do with all that information, it's definitely a great question. Right now I think the answer is person-driven (get eyeballs on the intel), but obviously that's not going to last. Everyone in the space (AFAIK) is trying to take what analysts do, and productize it somehow.

I'm sure you've got insight into how that's happening on your end, it's a pretty straightforward leap when faced with, "Do I scale my service?" questions.
I was starting to use Kitura but it seems the community is more in favor of Vapor right now. I moved on to Vapor as a result. IBM seems like it might abandon the project like they did their Swift Packages website.

No, not often. For some common words yes. Depends on keyboard at that point. Some will take it, some won't.

In game terms, input can approach that speed, which is really what I was writing to. Should have said, by analogy.

For me, a whole lot depends. If I am transcribing, I look at the screen, and it can matter. Same for a quick type of a common phrase. I'll blast that out.

For most things, it's a few CPS and slower.

And this is all modal. Interactive, like cursor navigation is different from general character input, which is different from common, short words.
It's a programming language not a consumer product. Who cares? The gopher was fun.
Mouse commands are preferred for simple, mindless tasks.

I'd rather rearrange my entire file hierarchy with a file browser like XFE than do all of that shit in a terminal.

Even Ranger/Midnight Commander make it less of a pain in the ass, but it's still a pain in the ass. Combos and typing require a lot more brain bandwidth than the simple, mindless or rather spineful, motions of a hand flick and click.
I think they've identified a major problem with the site, and I wish them luck changing it.

I was a very early user of Stack Overflow, and racked up a bunch of karma long ago, but I fairly quickly felt pushed out. I felt that the site became less useful as a place for me to get answers, and I felt that it became much less welcoming as a place for me to answer questions. Much of that revolved around the increasingly militant gatekeeping and arcane rules the community adopted.

Nowadays, I mostly run across Stack Overflow when someone links a fascinating question thread which will - invariably - be locked for being the "wrong" kind of content. (Because of course it is.)

It is a bizarre, broken community, and one I don't think is meeting its original goals. (And I say that as someone who had what was, back in the day, a pretty high score.)
It's 'theft proof' as in insurance. You don't have to worry about it being 'stolen' from you or damaged because your only responsible for it when your using it.

Unfortunately, you can't legislate kindness.

The best you can do is harness jerks - that's what capitalism does; that's what stackoverflow does.

The problem is high-karma jerks, because "maybe they are right to be a jerk about your helpfulness" and you can't do anything about them anyway.

Traditional clubs/organisations like Rotary International, masons, toastmasters, churches or even AA might have more insight on making an organization welcoming, yet preserving rules.

I would love it if copy and forms could have at least some impact, so looking forward to see how this goes.

Is it laziness if a novice has spent hours trying to figure something out and doesn't even know how to ask the question properly because of some fundamental misunderstanding or hole in their knowledge? I see and answer this sort of question on reddit occasionally. I'm sure there are times where I've dashed out "You're totally barking up the wrong tree, try ..." while I'm waiting for my code to build and saved somebody several(more) hours of hair pulling frustration.
I think you're mixing up different news reports. Cuba reduced their mother-child HIV transmission using five generic antiretrovirals that were invented in the USA and Canada: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2688320/

I'm not sure what would be a perfectly comprehensive metric for health innovations by country. Drug patents might be sort of close[1], but maybe Cuba doesn't apply for patents on principled grounds. For Cuba, it would be helpful to know the ratio of the USA using drugs or other innovations developed in Cuba versus American ones used in Cuba. I hear that drug development can cost billions of dollars[2] so I'd be surprised if Cuba could afford it, but maybe they've done it. Anyone know of any new drugs invented in Cuba?

I guess they produced export which is similar or exact format to the exports of one of the popular sites and imported it. For example 23andme currently has DNA day promotion which lets you import ancestry exports. Seems a bit shady to me.
Yes, singular "they" is confusing and incorrect. "He" is gender neutral in that context.

Bottom up is also C and Unix:

It is the way I think. I am a very bottom-up thinker. If you give me the right kind of Tinker Toys,
I can imagine the building. I can sit there and see primitives and recognize their power to build structures a
half mile high, if only I had just one more to make it
functionally complete. I can see those kinds of things.
The converse is true, too, I think. I
can’t—
from the
building—imagine the Tinker Toys. When I see a top-down description of a system or language that has infinite libraries described by layers and layers, all I just see
is a morass. I can’t get a feel for it. I can’t understand
how the pieces fit; I can’t understand something presented to me that’s very complex. Maybe I do what I
do because if I built anything more complicated, I
couldn’t understand it. I really must break it down into
little pieces. - Ken Thompson, Unix and Beyond: An Interview
with Ken Thompson, 1999
I, and a lot of other people, don’t like this thought process. We are quite bad at estimating how much someone has left to live. We are worse at estimating the quality of the life someone will experience. And then that someone may be single, with no family, or have 3 kids still in elementary school. Are you going to consider the quality of life of their dependents. What if that person is about to solve the nuclear fusion, or the Riemann hypothesis, would you pay 1M to keep them alive one more year? Would you let them die after their work is done?
Zone Rouge
I'm not sure it passes the “do they have a target in mind” test. If they had a particular suspect in mind and asked whether that suspect's DNA matched or not, that's one thing. If they indiscriminately look for arbitrary people with matching DNA, then it seems to fit the definition of a common statistical mistake that even has a Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor%27s_fallacy

(Although again, if the match turns out to be a prior suspect rather than a random person, that's another story—see the “defense attorney's fallacy” lower on the page.)
Sad. If the deal doesn't include a clause for local operation or project continuity, they might just dismantle the local commercial jet division to kill competition and keep selling revised 737s :(

You should feel upset and scared. Sites like 23andMe are just a small subset of genes and variations of them. The number of false positives due to this limit is significant. In whole database fishing searches by non-experts (ie, police) it will result in false positives every single time.

And also contributing is the increased sensitivity of the DNA amplification methods and lax procedures at most labs. See http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/03/forensics-gone-wrong-...

>In 2013, geneticist Michael Coble of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, set up a hypothetical scenario in which a mix of DNA from several people had been found on a ski mask left at a crime scene after a series of robberies. Coble asked 108 labs across the country to determine whether a separate DNA sample, which he posited had come from a suspect in the robberies, was also part of the mix. Seventy-three of the labs got it wrong, saying the suspect's DNA was part of the mix when, in fact, it was not.

A half-way decent welder can generally make $20/hr, and live in low cost of living areas. That's a good living for many people.

If you're willing to accept the boom-or-bust nature of construction projects, or remote (as in, go to where work is in demand) work, you can make considerably more. Then there's overtime, which your salaried white-collar worker doesn't get at all.
That is by no means the case.

It just takes a good number of people getting together and settling on a set of standards. The beauty of the general purpose computing device is it can support any and all at will.
