This is pretty easy to handle correctly with sufficient training data. A good demonstration is the deepmoji sentiment predictor: https://deepmoji.mit.edu/

Try:

Your service is sh* t!

Your service is shit!

Your service is the sh* t!

Your service is the shit!

Works pretty much perfectly.

Edit: how am I supposed to escape the * without leaving a space after it!?

Two things are needed for a decentralized social network to go mainstream. One is that it be technically competent, the other is that at be designed so that a large part of the population will actually enjoy using it.

Both problems require very high ability. The problem is that the relatively small number of people who are both motivated and able to solve the first problem are generally techno-geeks who are average or below average in social ability,and so foul up the second problem terribly.

However, the need for such a network is becoming widely enough known that I am pretty sure that rather soon we will get someone who can solve the second problem who will take up what the techno-geeks have been doing and produce a network that will become popular.

You need to add an exclusion or two to Windows Defender. The yarn folder in %APPDATA% is one (if you're running yarn locally, same deal for npm), and the path to where you keep your repos is the other (which is a lot easier if that doesn't exist entirely inside your WSL filesystem).

The reason it's so slow is because the virus scanner is running on the insane amount of tiny files a typical JS app will have. Used to take me 30 minutes each time until I did that; it was still slower than Linux/Mac but it was coffee-break slow, not three-course meal slow.

Building on decades of insights from the information retrieval world, and using highly-scalable, battle-tested open source packages, we’ve found it invaluable for exploring genetics in novel ways.
You've got it backwards though.

A paper isn't good because it's in Nature - it's in Nature because it's good.
This is absolutely wrong. Academic journals provide value through scientific aggregation, review, editorial curation, publication, archival curation, and promotion.

Yes, you can bypass all of this and put your non-reviewed pdfs on your personal website. No one will care, in part because no one will even know and if they do, they have to do the hard work of review in order to decide whether a paper is worth trusting. But how will anyone find out?

As an author, I've made a point never to publish in a paper not backed by a non-profit scientific society with a decent open-access policy, after doing so in the past. I also put all of my pdfs on my website including appropriate white papers that are working drafts, making it clear to others that they haven't been accepted through peer review.

As a reader, however, I keep up with the literature (aside from targeted Google Scholar searches) through Table of Contents emails from a few journals--mostly non-profit society journals but a few others including Nature. The editorial curation aspects which limit the number of accepted papers per issue make this possible. I'm not going to drink from the firehose of shit that is produced each month, especially before peer-review. Yeah, it sucks when your paper is accepted by reviewers but gets nixed by the editors because it's not cool enough, but... you know, get back to the bench and make it cooler if you want people to care. Welcome to the 21st century and attention scarcity.

You can change the name 'Nature' to whatever open-access journal you'd like, but the power behind it is that it's a sign that Important People have decided your paper is one of the 10 most impactful papers in your field that year. That's why people care.

A spokesperson pointed out that the owner's manual reads, “Autosteer is not designed to, and will not, steer Model S around objects partially or completely in the driving lane”.

I haven't seen the encouragement to not pay attention. In some ad on TV, maybe it was for a new Cadillac, the driver opens a soda with both hands off the wheel, and that seemed to be as far as they were willing to go.
I wish they had just copied Rust/Cargo. I remember reading a comment on GitHub somewhere from one of the Go maintainers who responded to someone expressing a similar sentiment and his reply was basically that Go is somehow different than every other language and they need to explore and find a unique custom solution for their particular use case. Has it ever been addressed anywhere why the tried and true "list of packages" + "lock file" paradigm is not good enough for Go?
If you think calendar apps are a pain try television broadcast automation... frame accuracy instead of per second, with fractional frame rates (29.97, 23.98, fps) and a mix of content of different frame rates on the same playlist and conversion to different frame rate on the way out, plus operators in a different timezone than the channel and the need to handle timezone changes without messing things up on air.

I do wonder why people wouldn’t hire older programmers or engineers though

The same reason the military prefers younger over older. Younger developers are easier to manipulate, overwork, and underpay. They are easier to mould and shape in conformance with corporate "culture fit", and they're less likely to question authority. They also don't have the wisdom yet to know when they are being asked to drink the startup Kool-Aid.

You're looking for Feynman's Lectures on Physics. It's a 3 volume set (and accompanying audiovisuals are available on youtube) that gets at exactly this kind of thinking.

For example, the double slit experiment came out of a really simple question. Bullets seem to behave like particles, waves in water, like waves. Light seems to behave like a wave, as well. But we know from other experiments that sometimes it behaves like a particle (Einstein's paper on the photoelectric effect demonstrates why). In fact, you can show that the diffraction of light is due to the behavior of light through a single slit, with spacing set appropriately for its wavelength. But what happens when you try to put electrons through? I don't think anyone expected the results. They're unintuitive and rightly stunning. But it was trying to understand the weird particle/wave duality of light that led to the result on electrons and subsequently other particles. The books go into a lot more detailed on the variants of the experiment people tried to try and understand the incredible results they were getting, like varying the rate at which particles were going through, adding detectors, etc..

How does that fail? I have an integer for an appointment. I am at that appointment at that given integer. This applies for all timezones. If the timezone changes, the integer does not. What you are saying is that the timezone changes and the integer changes aswell, but then it's not the same appointment anymore.
I tried out your command and got different line count compared to the output of the commands mentioned in the post. The man page for comm says it assumes inputs to be pre-sorted. To do that, you need to sort the input files before passing them to comm.

comm -1 -2 <(sort -u a_list) <(sort -u b_list)

# show only items unique to a
comm -2 -3 <(sort -u a_list) <(sort -u b_list)

# show only items unique to b
comm -1 -3 <(sort -u a_list) <(sort -u b_list)

More accurately, it can be used for any command which expects a file and doesn't do anything too weird in reading it (e.g. doesn't seek to the beginning and read it again)

Obviously throwing money at insurers isn't the solution. We've been doing that for decades. Other countries have already figured out how to provide healthcare for their citizens. America can too if people stop opposing it. Instead, we have movement in the other direction because a lot of people hate others so much they do not want them to have healthcare. That viewpoint is inexcusable in my opinion. Also, your first paragraph in unintelligible to me.
I feared this story would end with some version of "no one could tell me how I received this message". So, I suppose it's heartening to hear that you were able to resolve it, and relatively quickly.

But, I do think that's where we're headed fast: with so many interconnections, "affiliate" side-deals, opt-out limitations, etc., we'll soon not be able to manage the byzantine trail of entities that have access to our data in a given scenario. Our efforts to even understand who has our data and how, let alone control access, will be near-useless.

As someone who uses Venmo regularly and with friends who all have accounts they use regularly, to summarize many of the points below:

1. No one asked for this. This is Paypal trying to make a payments app social and people staying for the payments app despite the social feed.

2. So long as you can change the defaults, no one cares about if the company has sane default settings etc. Millenials / Gen Z care about privacy and most of my friends default to private. A company's defaults is not reflective of the privacy concerns of users because they know they have the better product.

3. Venmo messages are often jokes and payment amounts aren't shown even when public/friends

https://qz.com/359903/the-emoji-of-venmo/

4. Square just didn't catch on and Venmo's integration with other apps makes it locked in (Splitwise and Tab to name two main ones. My friends refer to Venmo and those two as the payments holy trinity)

5. This article is crap and no one I know looks at the feed. If you're dumb enough to cheat and use a public Venmo payment, wow. When I hit it on the splash page I see payments from a few people, nothing more interesting than pizza, rent, or utilities. Incredible, I know people have basic functions! The privacy invasion!

6. Most people I know transfer to their bank immediately. The intermediary step is a pain but far less than using any other payment service. I'll get over not earning my .03% interest at my bank and letting Venmo skim the interest on their end to keep the service free. Yes customer service is crap and so is Paypal generally but the reality is that it removes far more pain in life than it creates.
You can use it as a scripting language for your app. For example, a go binary with customizable hooks scripted in JS. That way anyone who knows JS can customize the binary for their specific use case.

Even something as simple as "tomorrow" can be ambiguous. I often ask my phone to set a reminder for tomorrow. If I'm asking after midnight, what I really mean is "today" since I haven't gone to sleep yet. Google seems to get this right, thankfully.
I wish it was as simple as that. Instead it's that that Russ Cox is fundamentally against SAT solvers, and has opted take this alternative approach instead. I think they would have been better off iterating on the things that have worked for other languages and tools, and arguably a SAT solver is one of them.
This is great news for scientific research- diamonds for experimental purposes are a huge market that's impeded by their artificially high cost. From a material standpoint there's a multitude of uses for them- ranging from use in CERN's particle detectors for their high optical clarity, to creating nanodiamond transport mechanisms for drugs because of their resilience to microcellular activity.

By creating a mass market and demand for these artifically produced diamonds, the cost of production will significantly drop where it could be more affordable for researchers and companies to invest their time and ideas into.

I am not aware of a corpus for political sentiment specifically. There's a general twitter sentiment dataset[0], the link appears to be broken but it's what everyone cites, not sure why it's down.

This paper[1] uses tweets and emoticons in the tweet as a soft label for sentiment, there's obvious issues with that, but it's a cheap way to get lots of noisy labels.

Are you aware that a battery pack and a battery cell are different?

Nobody. Nobody’s ever done that.” Munro says that Korean suppliers LG and Samsung have long been considered the best in the battery business, but that the Model 3 pack “blows them both away.”

That's not just branding, although maybe you would call it packaging.
Which in a way kind of brings up a point - sometimes you need idealists to see things through, to have a chance. A crusty pessimistic person isn’t necessarily battle-hardened, they may be battle-broken.

Of course, that doesn’t have much to do with age - one can be closed to new ideas at any age.
> Maybe Go's mistake is searching for the one-true dependency resolution system and deprecating everything along the way until something good-enough turns up. Maybe it'd be better that developers are encouraged to use dep while vgo is still in proposal stage so that there is an easy migration path from one standard to another, as opposed to immediately rendering obsolete.

The odd thing is I get the feeling that their search for the one-true system is causing them to repeat every other package manager's mistakes. I'm likely misinformed, but I get the feeling that they think they can do the same thing other package managers have considered or tried, but it will work for them somehow. I don't get the feeling that they seriously considered the criticism of VGo's approach. It smells like hubris. Also, there's Cargo, which is lauded by all, but the proposal doesn't seem to consider that perhaps the Cargo folks had a reason to make their dependency resolution scheme complicated. Again, this smacks of hubris.

I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise, and it would really only take a link to a thread in which some VGo proponent thoughtfully addresses Sam's criticism and the "why not copy Cargo?" criticism (and no, the "Cargo's dep resolution scheme is overly complicated" rationale from the proposal doesn't constitute).
I get that and put jokes in the memos sometimes, but I still have my history set to private. I just don't want the complexity of deciding what should be public or private when any potential gain is so small.

When I'm just trying to settle a bar tab or pay for my share of a work lunch, I don't want to think about whether a joke I make or a new acquaintance makes is going to be hurtful to somebody else who might send me money later.

I don't want to have to think about whether the fact that I got a meal with somebody and didn't invite a third person is going to cause me personal or professional strife. I don't even necessarily want to advertise that I'm briefly in a particular city if I didn't tell all my contacts there I'd be in town.

From the user's perspective it is the same appointment. They think they have an appointment at 3:00 PM on Thursday. If there's a timezone change, and you just stored an integer, then from the user's perspective the meeting changed from 3:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

Of course, if you have a meeting that spans timezones, this is unavoidable. I think the real solution actually lies in how the meeting time is expressed to the user so they don't have misconceptions about it.
