Nope, you shouldn't have to. I really wasn't attacking you, but on the contrary, was trying to be helpful, since you had expressed desire to have kids, and then were deciding not to.

It seemed necessary for me to qualify my encouragement for you to not abandon the idea of kids, on the condition that you could make yourself feel safe in the relationship, since it seemed like you did not.

It just makes me sad to see successful people deciding not to have kids, given the subject of this thread and given the very few number of my friends, my wife's friends, my family, and my wife's family that had kids.
> What is f'(0), the derivative of f at 0? It doesn't even exist, therefore it has no discontinuity at 0.

This is definitely wrong. The derivative of |x| is -1 where x < 0, and 1 where x > 0, and doesn't exist where x = 0. That is a perfect match to the definition of a jump discontinuity -- the limit from the left is not equal to the limit from the right.

It's not at all necessary for the function to exist at x = 0 in order for it to have a discontinuity at x = 0.

But hey, don't take my word for it; why not check the definition on Wolfram?

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/JumpDiscontinuity.html

The original claim was "the derivative, if it exists, cannot have a jump discontinuity." This is badly stated. You're defending the idea that if the derivative exists at a particular point, then there is no jump discontinuity in the derivative at that point. But there can be a function f which satisfies both of these properties:

- f is the derivative of some other function F. ("The derivative of F exists.")

- f has a jump discontinuity, somewhere. ("The derivative of F has a jump discontinuity.")
Well, if you already know the icons...

For example, Android tablets have three or four icons at the bottom, by default. (Minor wars have broken out over the order in which they are displayed.) Back, Home, Menu, Recents.

For a few years now I've been installing LMT https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 on all my Android devices. LMT implements a radial menu that your finger can slide in from any (selectable) side of the device screen. And, of course, you can customize how many slices, what each slice does, color, translucency, highlight color, and a myriad of other small choices which can make the thing feel exactly right for you.

It frequently confuses other people, and why not? It's not like I'm going to let other people use my phone.

Gaining the sympathy of the public is an important elements in organizing a strike. For brick and mortar business, a strike shuts down the business and prevents serving customers. This isn't much different. I would think tho that the SDK shouldn't disable local functionality, just remote functionality.

This just doesn't include enough context. Clearly the existence and popularity of the phrase in contrast with the absence of "toxic femininity" points towards what the parent was referring to.

Additionally, the central claim of toxic masculinity is basically that certain aspects of masculinity are universally toxic, which is really the only reason for such a term to exist. Aspects of most things are sometimes toxic, and thus don't deserve their own term.

IMO, the level of general acceptance that the concept of toxic masculinity has is mostly a product of the moral high ground that it's proponents currently hold in the culture and not because of serious intellectual underpinnings. The whole thing requires very specific framing that seems to have been constructed by starting with the conclusion and working backwards from there.

Your response seems to completely ignore what I said, which had nothing to do with data. It's as if you're just making an appeal to emotion.

I keep smelling this false dichotomy: either you're complying with the GDPR or you're doing something nefarious.

Others may be arguing against the spirit of the law, the extent of the protections, the tradeoffs between data and privacy, or any of those topics actually related to data or its storage. I'm not, nor is the GP.

I'm arguing that businesses can make perfectly valid decisions regarding risk with respect to regulation that have little to do with the compliance in spirit.

Some years ago I worked on 6 of the 7 volumes of The Works of Lord Byron for the Project Gutenberg editions [1], which entailed careful reading of every line. Which led to reading the Fiona McCarthy biography. Yeah, he was a shit no doubt, but he had an astounding, rarely-equalled talent as well. Verse just poured out of him. He had a high intelligence and great sensitivity to emotional nuance -- those are common enough qualities -- but was utterly unique in that, whatever he thought, he could express in perfectly-chosen words fit to exact meter and rhyme.

>It doesn't even say if they're going in or out? What exactly can be measured with this metric, apart from a very generic 'activity level'? Can it detect swarming, robbing, total bee count of a hive, bearding, anything useful?

AFAIK it can't do this yet, but detecting bees in an image of the entrance is a first step towards doing any more advanced monitoring. A good next step is to track bees across successive frames, which gets you a) approximately how many bees enter/leave the camera view at each timestep and b) approximately how many bees enter/leave the hive at each timestamp. From that you can integrate to get the total number of bees moving in and out each day (which isn't the population, but is presumably correlated).
I think a lot of these reactions (and this website) are bitterness following a rejection. I'm not sure why people take it so personally when a company doesn't accept them. I've done whiteboard interviews and got a rejection before, and I thought it was fine. Maybe if you're putting all your eggs in the same basket and want THIS company to accept you, that might be annoying. But that's not a very good life strategy.
I’ll let OP share it if they want, but FYI if you search a bit that information is freely available on the Internet.
I have a fantasy. In the fantasy, an interview candidate says "this problem has an optimal substructure" or "this problem can be broken into overlapping subproblems" and then observes "reusing the results of overlapping subproblems to avoid re-computing them is sometimes called dynamic programming"

At this point, balloons and confetti fall from the ceiling as Donald Knuth jumps out from under the table to hand the candidate an award for being the first known example of a candidate using "dynamic programming" correctly in a sentence.

Try five different things. For example: attend a church service; take a meditation class (Buddhist or otherwise); spend the weekend in the woods; volunteer at a hospital (reading to terminal patients maybe?); etc...

The idea is to gather information. Listen to your heart (literally.)
Agreed. I like the idea of cultivating "the resolve to resolve" conflicts by transforming them into positive sum games wherein the tribe commits to finding a way to meet everyone's needs and unifying behind of mission of contribution rather than allowing conflicts to devolve into zero sum games which suck the soul out of a once great company and pave the way for its corruption.

I work as a Data Scientist, but my grad degree is in Political Economy. On the math/stats side I'm definitely weaker than some of my colleagues (and I appreciate their skill, and learning from them). But I often see people with much stronger math skills than myself make very critical errors when trying to make inference on data generated by humans.

I think a nice team can have some balance, with enough overlap that we can find common ground. I'd be uncomfortable without knowing I can rely on some of my peers on some of the heavier algorithmic or SDE stuff.
Yeah, that was my reaction, and it made me sad that Google has so eroded my trust over the decades that I was turned off at seeing an announcement implying they are deeply involved in core open source tools. I mean, who else but companies swimming in cash can truly deeply support this stuff, and for the most part, the people working on these tools really do care about the open source community. But Google's reputation is so tarnished that my gut reaction is at odds with my rational one, and that's a sad thing to realize.

> All others are multiples of 1 and 5.

Assuming you used “and” when you meant “or”, that's trivially true (and redundant) in that all numbers (irrespective of base, which has no effect on this) are integer multiples of 1.

But no primes other than 5 are integer multiples of 5, in any base.
There won't be a "used market" for media in the future, because media won't be delivered on physical substrate. The publishing interests have been working to eliminate it for years. Between DRM and streaming I think they'll manage to kill used markets.
I understand better now. I didn't read the post in detail, to be honest. I dug into the rest a bit.

Well it all looks like a pretty immense amount of effort and work to put that all together. I'm not a game dev, but I signed up to poke around. I've done a little VR tinkering before, so I'm curious about the potential applications in that realm as well.

I'm looking forward to see what comes of it.
Don't you mean "How apropos (appropriate)"? Or (on the nose) maybe.
This is extremely cool - great work!
In an iterative solution, you have to get your loop conditions correct, and you have to create a bunch of inputs before you know how you are going to use them,
sort of a "solution in search of the problem". Recursion takes a problem and expresses it terms of similar, but smaller, unsolved problems, unless you can solve it directly (base case). It's a "problem in search of a solution", that always makes progress (unless you have a bad algorithm, as always).

If a recursive solution works on a small input, it will work on a big input. If you missed a base case, you'll see it immediately because trivial (literally!) input will make your solution fail to terminate.

In production, the main problem with recursion is stack size limits (or more generally memory limits) if you can't/don't use tail-call elimination.
Why didn't he include gothic-industrial post-punk jam bands?
At least the one I respect more (Samuelson) has a decent quote:

Disagree. Reason: 'This would be a great idea if the market for service provision was competitive, but is less obvious
with our current market.'

On the other hand, it's sad that smart people that should know better (Chetty, Altonji) answered like that.

One interesting observation is the IO/Finance divide.

IO experts (Liran Einav) are in favor of NN, while Finance folks (Darrell Duffie) are against. Probably because the latter almost always think about efficiency, while if you work in IO you have to be aware of the market structure (and natural monopolies, etc)
If you systematically analyze it, you don't need to be clever on a per-problem basis. Every recursive solution can me methodically converted to DP.

I'm a very (very) minor contributor to git.

If you are at all interested in hacking on Git, it's not that difficult. Knowing C and portable shell scripting for writing tests are the big things.

One sticking point, you need to submit patches to the mailing list, you can't just do a github pull request.

See https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/Submitt...

I still see github pull requests rather frequently, even though they have never been allowed. All discussion AND patches go through the mailing list, much like the linux kernel.
>But I don't think it's wise or diplomatic to phrase it as a growing "intelligence" deficit in Chinese people. That word is tricky enough to define as it is, but people can hold deeply one-sided views about a lot of things and still be highly intelligent.

I think the term "intelligent" has more than one meaning, and one of them is what I was trying to get at, something like "able to act in an effective manner." But perhaps you can suggest a less ambiguous term.
One example that the US government's OFAC is considering is blacklisting addresses and tainted UTXOs [0]. Miners would be forbidden by law to confirm a transaction related to a tainted UTXO. This means if the transaction is spending a tainted UTXO or sending to a blacklisted address (and thus creating a tainted UTXO), it wouldn't be confirmed. "taint" in this case travels forward in a chain of transactions and is a well documented property if you google it.

Companies like Chainalysis have become really good at not only clustering related UTXOs but also monitoring taint as UTXOs are attempted to be obfuscated. [1]
