Not to be snarky, but a comment like this makes it look like you did not bother to read the submitted article, as it states:

> This new paper found that among kids whose mothers had a college degree, those who waited for a second marshmallow did no better in the long run—in terms of standardized test scores and mothers’ reports of their children’s behavior—than those who dug right in. Similarly, among kids whose mothers did not have college degrees, those who waited did no better than those who gave in to temptation, once other factors like household income and the child’s home environment at age 3 (evaluated according to a standard research measure that notes, for instance, the number of books that researchers observed in the home and how responsive mothers were to their children in the researchers’ presence) were taken into account. For those kids, self-control alone couldn’t overcome economic and social disadvantages.
I'm having trouble building with this. Can you elaborate a little bit more about the steps after adding adding all three project. I can't understand this

>> " Now let's connect our databases to our app by adding their "keys" to our app's environment ("env") files. You should generally keep connection keys like this secret, so first we'll rename our environment files to keep them from getting committed into git (the new filenames are listed in .gitignore). "
Because it was still the stone age and they wanted to be first to market without having to wait for bronze age technology to make it out of the lab.

Hah, my idea was "ok, so the sensors will shush people? Like play some audio? That seems a bit odd but maybe it could work?"

Come think of it, this is not the first time I've gone through the whole evaluating idea-thought process and even sometimes reaching "I can't believe nobody thought of this before!" before realizing that I read something into a title that wasn't there.
I call bullshit on this. Literally they are the generation who fostered war in Europe. Look at Brexit its the younger people defending peaceful and gradual unification, the older people want Britain to be "great again". We've learnt in a deep way post WWII not to repeat that. Look at the history of war in general and its happening way less often especially between countries, most is civil wars now. The loss of historic memory of old ill-will is more likely to enable further peace than hinder it.
Sounds like a pretty run of the mill sexual assault. Guy follows drunk girl home and is too aggressive in trying to her to do something she doesn’t want ending with him forcefully putting her hand on his junk against her will.
Only ofcause this is all very “troubling” because the sexes are reversed.
i am interested in something like this, if i can ask a few questions,

- is azure beginner friendly, for someone who has never done web app before?

- how does azure pricing and support turn out compared to other services mentioned around here?

- would it be easy as well to use PostgreSQL or some other database?
Your edit got there before I did :)

I live in a high-rise next to a motorway in London and at 3am I can measure the noise as 60-70db using a mobile phone noise meter (inaccurate but indicative).

I investigated the feasibility of using my stereo speakers as noise-cancelling for the room... mics on the window sills and the speakers to reduce the noise in the room. I figured it would work well enough to remove the constant background hum of the road. I was wrong. It doesn't really work, and it is just noise upon noise.

The best I've managed to do is hang materials inside of the windows (quilts, sheets) and have been able to knock off just under 10db of noise in the best case (when it's just the drone of vehicle volume rather than specific engines or sirens).

The downside is that my high-rise is a high fire-risk tower block and I'm trading one life affecting issue (noise pollution) for another (fire risk) as now I have flammable materials inside my windows. Hard to know which affects sleep more, certainly the noise is the most real and present issue.
>People are gullible. Humans can be duped by liars and conned by frauds; manipulated by rhetoric and beguiled by self-regard; browbeaten, cajoled, seduced, intimidated, flattered, wheedled, inveigled, and ensnared. In this respect, humans are unique in the animal kingdom.

a lot of this could be mitigated through better awareness and early education. Unfortunately "how to think" or "how to reason" about logic is not something most of us learn from their parents or from the education system (even though it would be trivial to do so).

If you know your Kahneman, Tversky (and others) and learn and understand Cognitive Biases the advantage is huge. It's like Neo in the Matrix when he picks the bullets from the air :-)

But it needs to be applied continuously using practical applications (not just by reading 2 papers). People don't have to be an expert on psychology, game theory & risk but at least should expose themselves to the basics (preferably at an early age).

If you want to get beyond the basics then read also D Hofstaedter, D Dennet, K Popper, B Russell, NNTaleb. I wish I would have come across this when I was 10 yro not in my 30ies.
While it's true that the "big 3" controlled strategy, there were quite a few more than that:

At the start of the war on 1 September 1939, the Allies consisted of France, Poland and the United Kingdom, as well as their dependent states, such as British India. Within days they were joined by the independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.[1] After the start of the German invasion of North Europe until the Balkan Campaign, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, and Yugoslavia joined the Allies. After first having cooperated with Germany in invading Poland whilst remaining neutral in the Allied-Axis conflict, the Soviet Union perforce joined the Allies in June 1941 after being invaded by Germany. The United States provided war materiel and money all along, and officially joined in December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. China had already been in a prolonged war with Japan since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident of 1937, but officially joined the Allies in 1941.[1]

I'd be extremely interested if this could be used to build a rudimentary Wi-Fi spectrum analyser / interference scanner. It doesn't even have to be very good—hazy and vague measurements are a million times better than no measurements.

The commercial option is Wi-Spy, a product that is so massively overpriced it's borderline absurd.
The term AGI I find quite misleading. It promotes the idea that the wonders of the human mind, knowledge, feelings, sensations etc can be quantified and turned into something algorithmic. I think a lot of AI researchers could do with a basic introduction to philosophy of science and the different forms of knowledge —- episteme, phronesis, techne — and perhaps also the structure of scientific revolutions (Thomas Kuhn, notably). The whole paradigm of AI presupposed that generalised intelligence can exist without biology, feelings, a body / senses. This is one of the reasons that AI reached the so-called “AI winter” in the 70ies where researchers boiled language and human knowledge down to algorithmic manipulation of symbols.

For some context on how bicycle sharing system was started/invented, it is from '70s Amsterdam. That incarnation was dockless and publicly owned. See Wikipedia "wittefietsenplan" (white bicycle plan, use translator) [1] or e.g. this UK song about it [2] by the band Tomorrow. This English Wikipedia article also contains some history about bicycle sharing system [3]

Recently it has finally been more broadly adopted (though also with a variant, the station-based bikes). One major advantage of station-based bikes is availability. You know beforehand where you can grab one (possibly using a mobile phone to see if they're available on the spot), and can plan accordingly. Dockless can compete with that availability via sheer volume though.

Thanks so much for your reply.

I was inspired by libco, and it is a great library.

I am happy to collaborate.

I tested the aarch64 implementation on a raspberry pi. Sometimes it's tricky to test. I was thinking of setting up a test harness for the different architectures.

Another idea I had was to distribute compiled `.o` files to avoid the assembler nightmare, which I agree is a problem.
I'm a huge fan of Phoenix, in part because it addresses the main issue I had with Rails (too much magic).

But I do agree that losing the huge ecosystem of gems is a significant downside. Hopefully that'll change over time, because other than that, Phoenix really feels like the next iteration of Rails to me.
Love this. Best thing I've seen in photography in a while!

Chicken and egg, right? If Google declares it not ready for production, then nobody uses it for production apps, so it never gets the kind of testing it needs to really be production ready.

If Google declares it out of beta, then people assume nothing will change, and if things do change they complain.

So the current wisdom is to have a 'production ready beta' which indicates an in-between period where things can change, but you're encouraged and expected to use it in production.
> why am I being downvoted for this?

It's somewhat complicated...

If members of the Western ruling class believed in heritability of all the good traits, they'd feel pressure to limit themselves to a mating pool they don't find entirely to their taste. They really want every freedom they feel they deserve, therefore collectively insist that "good breeding" is all about the right schools.

In a sane world, nobody else would give a damn and that would be the end of it. Alas, the aspirational middle class tends to always mindlessly ape their betters. They also need to really believe what they're aping, otherwise the cognitive dissonance would be too much to take. That true belief is why they downvote you.
Private keys don’t prove you don’t have a gun to your head.
Take your experience and look for jobs doing what makes you happy. School is over, you don’t have to do stuff to please other people anymore. Don’t take a job to impress your friends, belong to a “club” or make your parents happy.

Want to work on technology X? Look for jobs doing that. If you get a job at Google, do you know what you’ll be working on? I’ve heard they assign you to whatever google wants you to work on. Sure, you can move to another group someday but as I once told an interviewer: “Why should I pay my dues working on something uninteresting in hopes that I can someday move to another dept doing what I want to do, when I can just work for someplace else, working on something I want to do right now?
As Hollywood was originally mentioned, I did not think it needs clarifying that I am talking about professional careers. Of course somebody could be an amazing actor playing Santa at the mall from the point of view of children sitting on his lap.

> If we define developers by money they are expected to make for the studio, I'd imagine EA and King employees must be pretty high up.

It depends on employees, both EA and King own multiple studios and have thousands of people working on projects, which don't make a dime of profit. However, on a studio scale you will notice that studios making successful games repeatedly do not have many horror stories about them and if you look into credits for those games you will see the same individuals working on such games for many years.
Use a thing called google? Most uk job sites let you specify remote only in the search options anyway. You could really find this out in like 2min.
>No cutting edge incomplete frameworks

So what, you rewrite a templating engine every time you want to make an application that outputs user data? Or are you reliant on making damn sure you always call htmlentities every time you echo something to prevent XSS? Are you sure you've not slipped up anywhere?

What about CSRF? Do you write your own filtering mechanism every time you make a web app to check for the existence of a CSRF token in all state-altering (e.g. POST) requests?

There are reasons people use frameworks. Security is one of them - I _love_ assessing apps which are written in plain PHP because they're almost always a trainwreck. You don't tend to see SQLi from devs who tend to use ORMs, nor do normally you see stuff like LFI if they're using a well-known templating engine.

Can you write secure code in PHP? Absolutely. But it's more effort and easier to get wrong.

Your client may not care about the technical details, but when the security assessment report says your PHP app has a stored XSS and an equivalent ASP.NET MVC app is safe..
Don't forget that with Clojure, anything you would do in Java or on the JVM using any language, you can do in Clojure. So for example, Scala has Akka, a powerful actor model. And of course, you can use that in Clojure if you want:

(This is just one way to use Akka).

Basic research needs those people. And in the end they win. That’s how we got the alphabet, iron working, etc.
Lots of BBC news ? Nothing else to tell ?

BBC is full fake news, no thanks.
I liked the idea of Flutter since I saw it for the first time probably long time ago.
Dart as a language choice was throwing me back though, but in general this language is very similar to ES6 and makes OO easier. For example it doesn't require to use `this` in methods. I wish it was TypeScript instead, because it has more mature tooling and community support.

I'm still hesitant to put my hand on it for side project until it's more popular. Chicken and egg problem I guess.
Quite a number of ex-bloc countries ban cars exceeding sanitary norm for sound emission.

My surprise upon my first days in the West was that no Western country seem to have them.

I live in Barcelona. It is a _noisy_ city. It is just normal for young locals to sit outside in plaças or on wide streets on weekend evenings, socialising, having a drink, talking loudly, and even sometimes singing. By evenings I mean the Spanish definition of evenings, which last until way after midnight.

As a foreigner living here, I try to accept the noise as part of the culture, even though the noise annoys me. So it is great to read of locals actively campaigning to reduce noise levels.

On Friday I was in the very plaça (Plaça del Sol) mentioned in the article with a friend, and it was crowded and loud. All the tables were full, people were sitting on the steps, and indeed all over the plaça. My friend said, "it must be bad for the residents". It is good to know at least one plaça in Barcelona is now moving the crowds on after 11:30pm.
The Chinese Room Theory
I don't know about CNTK, but Tensorflow and I think PyTorch don't have _good_ distributed training.

They use a distributed training model that utilizes parameter servers, which scales nowhere near Horovod's mpi solution.

Even for single-machine-multi-gpu solutions, only now in Tensorflow 1.8 is pure tensorflow as fast as Horovod with it's estimator MirroredStrategy. If you watch Tensorflow dev days 2018, the devs say they're working on bringing something like Horovod to pure Tensorflow
Haha true, but since the resolution is 128x128, you probably won't see a quality difference with a cheaper lens.

I'm not sure many people can pull this off. The author here was also great in his presentation about automated NES playing, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCurBYI_gY. You don't see often academics & hacker work that is also combined with the right amount of humor. He even 3Dified the original Zelda!
It’s true it’s very difficult to completely replicate the look and feel of a native toolkit with something like this.

However, my experience has been that most people want a heavily customized and styled UI that looks similar on both iOS and Android because a generic stock UI doesn’t have enough visual bling to attract users or establish a strong brand. And it looks like doing that kind of customization should be a lot easier with Flutter than it is with either native platform’s native APIs.
It is used on the control plane.

Netconf (rfc6241) operations un most routers (not just Cisco) are handled from an Erlang application.

Some years ago the best netconf implementation was from tail-f systems. Cisco and Juniper licensed the software from them...

... And Cisco bought the company for the Netconf and orchestation/automation part.

I'm not sure that healthy food is more expensive when you only look at the items, because vegetables are not (some fruits are, but veggies are far more important). With even limited cooking skills you can produce pretty cheap and yet very good meals.

However, I still think your point is valid, because it's not just the food items themselves. You need time to prepare them, plus a stressful life puts psychological pressure (which is real and not "imagined") on your brain for swift and easy rewards. So if you don't just look at the stuff on the plate, but see "eating" as a system consisting of sooo much more, the entire context, I think that's a big part of what in the end indeed makes bad food more expensive.

I almost forgot to mention a possibly even bigger part: When you live in poor areas availability of certain foods is vastly limited, and availability of bad foods is through the roof. Try shopping in supermarkets in poor areas and compare it to a wealthy suburb supermarket.
Objects vs. Data Structures – 2/2 – When to Use Which? (Scala)
Can someone educate me on why the article is written like this? Does the type of discourse have a name? Is there specific target audience, like philosophers for instance? Is it this particular author or should I expect the same of most content on that site?
How does Go compare to Erlang these days? When would you choose one over the other?
Wouldn’t that traditionally be a Release Candidate? Something you think is good to go, but needs wider testing before you can say that for sure?
Noise cancellation can be a little tricky depending in the frequency. Low frequencies are easiest. Trying feeding the signal through your PC and adjusting the delay, using different delay for different frequency ranges.

Some nice thick shag pile carpets, and wall-hung rugs will also help. If you like posters or pictures, consider using a block frame and putting some sound adsorbent material between the paper and the wall.

Double glazed windows are your best bet, but probably quite hard to install in a high rise. Ideally you want the ones where each glass layer is a slightly different thickness.

Otherwise get some custom fit earplugs from an audiologist, if it's just sleeping that is a problem. They can even fine tune them, so that voice frequencies pass through, but other frequencies are blocked.
When I was in school I used to joke that my greatest aptitude was for taking multiple-choice tests. I can do well on almost any multiple choice tests by using elimination and observations about the system of the test writer.
There are probably laws against noise pollution that the visitors was breaking with impunity.
Roblox also has IMO some dark UI patterns intended to make kids buy things in the game. Minecraft is a much healthier game.
Interesting, okku seems completely outdated but I'll try to look out for an Akka integration as it is a really powerful and stable actor model implementation. Has backpressure and all of the other reactive niceties too.

You might just have converted me to clojure, haha.
Replace Chinese with logarithm and the Chinese Room seems ridiculous. Searle could produce logarithms without knowing logarithms, that doesn't mean the knowledge to produce a logarithm isn't contained in the room -- just that Searle isn't where that information is encoded. By the same logic, a computer can't perform any operation because the RAM can't perform operations.

>> Is that a valid thing to do? If "will power" was a strongly inherited trait, and the theory is that will power leads to increase household income in adult life, then this controlling would remove most of the signal.

Exactly. The way to control for the income of a child's household while not filtering out a possible inherited trait, would be to do the test with only adopted children. Then it would be ok to control for parents' income.
