Wish I'd seen this a few weeks back before building my own command line app, it seems I've taken an almost identical approach to them in everything I've implemented, though obviously they're much farther along! Still, part of the motivation for building my own was to trick myself into getting the habit of checking the list every day since I'd be keen to dogfood it - that's worked out pretty well so I can't complain!
I'd say HtDP is a good book for learning programming, but I don't think it's the best introduction to Racket. It also uses a specially crafted languages (a series of them) and focuses on the process of coming up and implementing the design, while removing most of the usual problems (cryptic error messages, too complex docs, too advanced techniques) which the beginners encounter. It's great as an introduction to programming, and it's even worthwhile a quick read for more experienced programmers (esp. self-taught), but it's definitely not about learning Racket, at all. The Little Schemer may be slightly better, but on its own, it too is not about learning Racket. Actually, I guess there's no book about Racket itself (EDIT: other than this one to some extent (in "explainers")) - existing books either focus on the basics of programming (HtDP, Realm of Racket) or on specific algorithmic problems and techniques (The X Schemer, SICP). Which is kind of natural given the educational background, but it makes it harder for already established programmers to learn Racket to get the job done.
It's fully managed, so you don't need to worry about OS security patches, rotating logs and all the other administration that comes with running your own server. Basically the same benefits as using Cloud SQL/Aurora RDS vs maintaining your own MySQL server.

> So a bot that acts like a human (with hems and haws) is just wasting my time.

Duplex largely uses hems and haws like humans do - to signal that they're thinking about what to say next.

The system also sounds more natural thanks to the incorporation of speech disfluencies (e.g. “hmm”s and “uh”s). These are added when combining widely differing sound units in the concatenative TTS or adding synthetic waits, which allows the system to signal in a natural way that it is still processing. (This is what people often do when they are gathering their thoughts.) In user studies, we found that conversations using these disfluencies sound more familiar and natural.

https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/05/duplex-ai-system-for-natur...

Natural-sounding TTS improves the accuracy of speech recognition, because people tend to speak in an unnatural and over-enunciated style when they know they're talking to a bot.
I think you meant to write "town crier" instead of herald [0], though its wikipedia page does mention herald in the "See also" section.

Every time I drive my feet are mere inches from a roaring engine that works by exploding toxic fuel, reaching temperatures high enough to give third degree burns, other cars flying past mine in the opposite direction with a combined speed difference of 60 to 150mph. Clearly we need to change the way cars are laid out so that there are ten additional feet between my gas pedal and my engine and an additional thirty feet between cars going opposite directions. For safety.
I feel like a lot of people who are pointing out the limitations show a failure in imagination of where this will go in the future. I don't care about the obscure technical limitations now, those are just engineering problems that will be solved in very short time.

I'm not afraid of the machines going all singularity or skynet or whatever, becoming sentient and taking over the world as some kind of robo-Hitler. That's moronic. But what does worry me is the normalization of having a machine do everything for you, plan your whole life, access every little detail of every bit of your personal data and lifestyle.

Of course we've already had that for a while with the way phones work. But this is another step towards getting public consensus for using it in new ways. Once people are used to this, we'll have more and more systems with conversational software that manages your life for you. Speaks on your behalf. Interfaces with the world for you because doing it yourself is far too stressful and inconvenient.

And of course it'll be a free, advertising-supported model so all that data will have to be shared with, among many things, shady political organizations to try to gain every little advantage possible to manipulate public opinion and steer themselves into enormous power.

Think of where the cell phone started off: just a phone in your pocket. It's so much more now. Remember that when thinking about these AI assistants and what they will develop into. I'm not afraid of the classical AI apocalypse. I'm afraid that these systems will do exactly what they're designed to do. That people are underestimating just how much power lies in these little inconveniences in life, once they're all added up and analyzed and tallied.
This article is making strategies out of tactics.

For example, Gmail's new autocomplete apparently helps people write email faster. It doesn't write the email for you. Why isn't that a bicycle for the mind? It's partially helping you do something you could do anyway, but faster. (And maybe better, if you're still learning English?)

Maybe someday, for some emails, Gmail will be able to ghostwrite the entire body of an email for you? But that's just a matter of technical competence, not a change in strategy. Tech companies will change tactics based on what's feasible.

But maybe the big change is when you let the machine take full, mostly-unattended responsibility where safety is on the line (real driverless cars).
This is also an excellent idea for system security and civil defense.

Having every home at capable of maintaining at least basic energy requirements to keep water pumps, some lights, refrigeration and comms would change a full-scale grid outage (e.g., from a Carrington event or deliberate attack) from a major disaster to a mere (major) inconvenience.
OK, so then tax the power sources that have bad externalities, in proportion to how much they are a tally costing the world.
Precisely, even at the micro level. Coding a video platform is different than coding an analytics system. 90% of coding is research and lots of that is done without as another commenter said money+deadline, ie. not a contract. Musk surely has lots of hobbies and Hammock Driven Development happens (Rich Hickey/Clojure style). If Musk ever starts getting chubby then I’ll worry—elsewhere in thread I qualify this.
I'm in the same boat as you, interested but don't know what to do. So I've done this:

1. Read 'A New Trading for a Living', this will teach you about how to trade without a computer, understand indicators, trader psychology. I figure if you can't trade using daily charts, you won't be able be any good in a shorter timeframe

2. Learn how to use quantopian (or similar). I figure that this would be helpful getting into how the right mindset for automated trading

3. Go look at open jobs for HFT firms, see what skills they're advertising for, talk to a recruiter, etc. I'm lucky in NYC and that job area is available
Part of the justification (which you may or may not buy) is that it's not intended to be viewed as static content. Therefore, a PDF or eBook is not an appropriate medium.
Pluralsight unveils IPO plans
> Something that I think would help is if the social types in the engineering department (often men!) would post interesting tech events in Slack.

I think this is really important. But should add that if you want to do something don't be afraid to make said post. If you feel lonely, reach out.

I moved across the country and had no friends there (into an engineering firm, in an engineering town, with few people my age (mostly engineers)). Being mostly an introvert I was fine being alone 99% of the time, but everyone needs friends. I figured out that when I need friend time that I had to be the one to organize such events. If I didn't then no one did anything, or the groups that already existed would just do their own things. (Can't blame them for excluding me. Not like it was a malicious act. Just no one knew me.) It can just be something simple as "Hey I was going to do $X on $DAY, want to come too?" (direct works better than an open invitation) After learning this I did actually develop friends and got invited to things.

So what I'm saying is that if you feel lonely you have to reach out. I completely understand that this sucks as an introvert. But you do have some control over this and you can't completely rely on others to invite you to things.

>It's easier for you to prove he fired you because of your sexual orientation than for him to prove you harassed him.

So, I can't understand as a gay man because I'm immune to accusations of sexual harassment because I can just use my orientation as a discrimination shield? Eh, no, not really. Frankly, it doesn't make sense and er, it doesn't address the fact that the other person could be gay?

While I concede that a false allegation of sexual harassment carries a different weight than a false allegation of murder... false accusations are lies and presumably will happen even if you avoid all contact with someone, no?

I guess I don't know what the alternative is. If I have to choose between ignoring workplace harassment and having folks err on the side of caution in the workplace behavior, I know which way I hope for us to err.

This comes as a surprise to me, as the majority of people vaping are hipsters, where I am.

I do know someone who tried to use it to quit smoking, but that lasted about a week.
LOL, yep, I was completely honest about it. My boss said something like, "Hm, I guess maybe things sound different here under the cold lights of the office environment" (I don't remember his exactly words, but "cold lights" was something that actually did come out of his mouth). In the end, they filed a report, gave me a warning to keep their bases covered, and I got on with my life. She was as difficult for everybody else to deal with as she was for me to deal with, so she left not too long after that anyway.
Considering around 850 000 Norwegians have automatic free Tidal subscription through their cable TV, and they don't even bother to close your account or make you pay when you switch TV providers, it's probably accurate to within an order of magnitude.
It is foolish to trust Tidal's numbers... they're privately-owned by artists in a genre known for fictionalized details

Because it IS entirely possible to befriend a women and not come across creepy, regardless of your physical appearance.

This is very highly dependent on perceived relative status. I remember just standing in an entryway literally doing and saying absolutely nothing, watching a woman melt down into delusion and accuse me of being a creeper. If you can be mistaken to be a homeless person, it's a lot more likely. If you dress well in an expensive suit, you're immune. Heck, you're a bit over-immune.

The problem is that ATO relies on the underlying technology to be working and maintained. Maintenance requires money, which WMATA doesn't have. That's the issue. Humans don't require maintenance the same way something like ATO does.

Politicians continue to underfund WMATA, which means they can't assure safety using an automated system, so that have to use humans.
Your post literally says: "the reason for your creepiness is that your intentions are to attract someone". GP's post never refers to intentions or situations or behaviors or anything. You are castigating GP for intentions and behaviors that exist entirely in your imagination.

>I normally suggest eschewing the javascript class model in favor of using stateless functional components.

So I do this whenever possible, but the way this advice is worded (both here and often in the wild) makes it sound like you can just use them everywhere.

Most UIs have state. I can't imagine a UI that doesn't. Every third component or so I write I end up using classes for, so I've got a mix of classes and functional components throughout the codebase. Do you _never_ use classes? If so, what do you do instead? Otherwise if you're like me, you get to use functional components occasionally which is nice, but are nowhere near being able to get rid of the class syntax.

I seem to remember a statistic that said, essentially, traffic waves propagate backwards at approximately 12mph. There are a set of circumstances where you can set up a "standing" wave of traffic where cars will have to tap their brakes at the same place for hours, for no reason.
Good way to identify which companies you shouldn't work for, I guess.
Something similar existed years ago with ME10 running on HPUX. Many similar things existed. Workflows centrally hosted, on site, with terminals or workstation clients. Literally many engineers could work on a single drawing or design and individually created or updated. And of course the updates would synchronise between clients.

Nix hosted, colloborative workflows. What is old is new again.

Personal Computer software like Solidworks or Maya might seem "cool" or cheaper; I once made money as a contractor recreating what companies lost from older solutions and refused to pay for from platforms like Catia.
These frustrating paradigms are not excuslive to CAD or DCC.

So many designers and architects I know still use pen and paper more than software, I am not sure if the tooling advancements in PC hosted software has outweighed what was lost in centralised, transaction backed, collaborative workflows.
Do you ever use any of them or get back to them? I used to do that too on a smaller scale but realized after a while that I don't really need them to find things as the browsers address bar is usually enough and worst case I can fall back to a web search.

I never really had a case where I couldn't find something again that I would've found through my bookmarks as these are usually not tagged well or there's not enough information in the URL / title of the bookmark to have a big surface area for a fuzzy search.

It took me a while to realize that but I noticed that it's very refreshing to keep less things around and try to hoard them (bookmarks, browser tabs, downloaded movies, shows, music) like I did in the past. After observing it for a while I realized that it never happened that I couldn't find something again or re-download if necessary.

I suspect they didn't - Google's notion is a human-like conversation with a real person to accomplish a simple goal on the user's behalf. Comcast's notion is to make it as hard as possible for a user to accomplish their goal (cancelling, switching, complaining).

To me, the biggest issue with writing an email with this auto suggest is that I think it'll take me longer to write the email that way rather than just writing it.

Maybe I'm wrong, since I haven't tried it, but I feel like I'd have to pause every time I'd see a suggestion to think if it is actually what I'm trying to say, rather than just writing what I'm trying to say anyway.
> Pay is never never never about value.

Pay is 100% about value.

> It's about supply and demand.

The supply function is a reflection of value perspective of potential suppliers.

The demand function is a reflection of value to potential purchasers.
Keep in mind, this is hodinkee. They peddle style. It's the wristwatch equivalent of auto "journalism" (R&T, C&D, that kind of thing, not Motorsport).

So yes, you read it correctly.
For the same reason that "Just don't drink, what's so hard about that?" would be in a discussion of alcoholism.
I think if you approach someone with "this person is very attractive" at the fore of your mind, you're likely to present in a way that could be perceived as creepy, and maybe not approaching that person could be a good move. If very many people have that effect on you, it might be worth checking to see if you want to change something about yourself, though.
You seem to be misinterpreting my comment:

a) My comment about nursing meant that the workplace barriers within opposite-gender mentoring exist on both sides of the spectrum...not acting as an excuse. Your reaction is just like telling the author to "get on with [her] life."

b) Who said anything about "weird fetishized platform of unobtanium"? I was just pointing out the legal realities that exist within the workplace.

c) The line is not in "workplace romance and sexual power politics land", the line is the HR department. Who may share your sense of humor and attitude. Or not.

I just don't buy into social stuff. People at work to work. As long as she is treated with respect and provided the same opportunities as everyone else it should be cool.

I can't deny you service if you don't agree to my terms of service? That seems to fundamentally break contract law.

I love the bus because it runs express from my Chicago neighborhood directly into the loop.

I get on, play with my phone, and get off 25 minutes later. I don't have to fight traffic driving myself and I can multi-task if I choose.

The problem comes when trying to take the bus to any other part of the city. It's slow, stops at every block, and is unpredictable when it arrives. It's a mode of transport that supports everyone and that inherently makes it less useful to the individual.

Personally I'd like to see bus systems get more fine-grained about their routes, timing, and size of vehicle. We should be able to model some optimizations that improve service while remaining accessible for everyone.

It'd be a shame if over the last several years major cities haven't been collecting the required data to make this possible. If not, now would be a good time to beging recording this data.
Yeah, social hobbies often don't fit the “no deadlines” definition.
Hi,

What’s your app and how does it work?

Thanks in advance
It isn't magical. A bicycle computer style senor to measure speed, record that once per second to a raspberry pi ish computer. When the e-brake triggers (simple momentum sensor is enough) log that too.

From the above I can be close enough to how fast you were going. If you should be going 15mph and are doing 16 and slowing down - well that is in the margin of error and you are fine. If you should be going 15mph and are going 25 I'll know that.

The key to the above is margin of error. I don't need centimeter level accuracy, just enough that I can reconstruct if you were close to right or not.
Your point is that regulation is needed for people to make decisions that will save them more money. Basic econ/finance will tell you this isn't how the world works.

As toss1 mentioned, some states let you choose your supplier.

Another way to do it is to tax it when the utility buys it. This moves the math around for where they source power from.
