> Steve and I both showed up at the show in dark suits and white shirts.

I thought Steve always wear his turtleneck. Even going with investment banks. My guess is that those days it was way more formal then what we have now.

>He loved hanging out in art museums. My memory could well be off, but I remembered it as 300 new white shirts. He wanted a new one each time he dressed up.

So he doesn't do any clothes washing? Would the old one be recycled? Throw away?

Fascinating Story, I miss Steve. I miss the old Apple. Where they are relentlessly innovating. It is not that they have stopped now, but it has definitely slowed.

And I think with this story, Cake will now get lots of invitation to its site.
>People should only be conditioned to live the ways you want them to, of course. It's only "cultural conditioning" when you don't like it.

Or you know, conditioning can go either way, and a society should decide what's better (including for the environment) and push for one or the other.

Suburban sprawl, wastelands designed around traffic, obese citizens who seldom walk anywhere, no urban center for communities to meat, and unfriendly crime ridden cities don't seem to work that well...

Turning off the ability to enter recording mode. I still occasionally type :Q instead of :q and I’d like that to also quit...or even to just no-op.

Any tips on how to just rip recoding mode completely out of my vim?
I'm native and I think it sounds pretty damn close. I could see myself getting through a simple conversation with it without getting suspicious (that's assuming that I had absolutely no reason to believe it was a system from the start)
The author of the talk here. I am excited about the Multicore OCaml upstreaming plan.

We're going to phase it into 3 distinct phases. First, we will upstream the multicore runtime so that it co-exists with the current runtime as a non-default option. This will give a chance to test and tune the new GC in the wild. Once we are happy with it, it will be made the default.

The second PR would be support for fibers -- linear delimited continuations without the syntax extensions (exposed as primitives in the Obj module). This will help us test the runtime support for fibers and prototype programs.

The last PR would be effect handlers with an effect system. Any unhandled user-defined effects would be caught statically by the type system. The effect system is particularly useful not just for writing correct programs, but to target JavaScript using the js_of_ocaml compiler where we can selectively CPS translate the effectful bits à la Koka. As a result, we will retain the performance of direct-style code and pay extra cost only for the code that uses effect handlers. In the future, we will extend it to track built-in OCaml effects such as IO and mutable refs. At that point, we can statically distinguish pure (as Haskell defines it) functions from impure ones without having to use Monad transformers for the code that mixes multiple effects. I'd recommend Leo White's talk [0] on effect handlers for a preview of how this system would look like.

Macros, Macros, Macros. These are a game changer when editing large files. Use the `q` key and followed by any letter you like, I default to `a`. Perform some action, like deleting a line, appending to the start of a line, or searching for a word then deleting it. Press `esc`, then type in the number of times you want to repeat the action, followed by `@` and the letter you chose. I.E `10@a` and it will perform that action 10 times.
You mean easier, yes.

Here's the requisite quote from Echopraxia, by Peter Watts:

Nowadays it seemed like half the technical data on the planet were being stored genetically. Try sequencing a lung fluke and it was even money whether the base pairs you read would code for protein or the technical specs on the Denver sewer system.

Those Wikipedia pages are kind of awful for pedagogy, but they have the right equations, so I won't cover those.

Say we have a curve that corresponds to how good of a fit your model is. We want to try to find the maximum on that curve. However, calculating every point of the curve is too expensive, so we want to minimize the number of points we have to check. So, we start with a guess as to the highest point on the curve and take the first and second derivatives of the curve at that point. This gives us enough to fit a parabola that approximates the curve in the neighborhood of our initial guess point. Then, it's pretty easy to solve for the highest point on the parabola. That's our new guess. Repeat that a few times until the guesses stop shifting much. If the curve is nicely shaped (i.e. smooth everywhere, only has one maximum), the guesses will converge on the highest point.

This is a often faster than a similar method, gradient ascent, which relies upon only taking the first derivative. This would yield a line in the vicinity of our guess, and then we just move our guess a little bit, such that it goes up the line. This is pretty slow, since it can't just go straight to a guess of the top, and if you go too fast, then it'll blow right past the maximum.

The Hessian matrix is the higher dimensional equivalent to the second derivative there and the gradient is the equivalent for the first derivative. For example, if we have a two dimensional surface in 3D, then those matrices will be 2x2 and capture the curvature of the 3D paraboloid in the vicinity of the guess. As you go up in dimensionality, they're called quadric hypersurfaces.

When you're fitting a logistic regression, your hypersurface is the logarithm of the likelihood that the data you have fits the logistic curve with parameters at that point. The logarithm makes the hypersurface better behaved and makes the calculus easier. You just need the gradient and the Hessian, evaluate those at your initial guess, fit a quadric hypersurface to the guess there, pop up to the top of that hypersurface, repeat a few times, and you've got your model.

> If they had separate currencies, Spain could inflate away a lot of their debt.

Which is why Euro is good for Southern European countries: it forces them to concentrate on productivity rather than economic alchemy.
Spanish labor got too expensive? You don't need a government to inflate your currency, you just start lowering your rates.
My fellow Italian workers cannot find a job? Stop talking about "articolo 18", stop looking for assured indefinite term contracts, accept the reality! Enterprises know ups and downs: when thing go well, they'll be happy to pay you good money for your services, but when hell breaks loose your salary will be a burden for them. Either accept that employment contracts can be terminated before your retreat, or keep up the good work... uh, keep up the work... just keep up!
The weird thing is Milo was apparently removed not for his own specific tweets being mean to Leslie Jones, but because he has lots of followers and he's apparently responsible for their actions.

Can semi-confirm: I worked on Site Integrity (Infrastructure) at FB in 2013–2014, and iirc there were many instances where a benign URL was automatically flagged as spam, and someone had to explicitly go and whitelist it because we were getting complaints. Could be any number of things—I’d guess URLs containing things like “video” and “anonymous” are often sketchy pirate sites that try to install malware; or perhaps that URL was a malicious site in the past but isn’t anymore.

The policies are explicitly written in code (Haxl) but a lot of them invoke machine learning models to do actual classification of stuff (URLs, images, comments, &c.)—although I’d imagine an increasing amount of the computation is being moved over to the Haxl side because it’s so much less resource-intensive than the FXL system it replaced. Where possible, SI usually errs on the side of “better safe than sorry” when it comes to spam, malware, fake accounts, &c.—hence users’ complaints of “getting zucc’d” when someone reports them, or their activity on the site triggers a filter.
In several ways.

- It is very likely that drugs are more addictive when you are uncertain about obtaining your next fix. http://www.stuartmcmillen.com/comic/rat-park/

- The criminalization of drug addicts turns them into an excluded class. They find it harder to get jobs or even to stay out of jail. If they start young -- and many will, once the problem becomes generational -- they are prevented from developing certain life skills and successfully develop their personality into adulthood.

- If drugs are criminalized, people will be afraid to ask for help.

- The war on drugs guarantees an unregulated black market for drugs. This means there will be no quality controls. Drugs are laced with all sorts of things that can be much worse than the pure version of the substance.

- Being arrested for something that harms nobody instills a distrust on society that, many times, never goes away. Imagine being sent to prison for years for smoking cannabis. Your life ruined. It doesn't take a lot of empathy to see how one would never trust society and its institutions again.

- The solution for addiction is, many times, other drugs. For example methadone for opiate addicts, and Ibogaine -- which appears to be a miracle cure for many addictions, but that is Schedule I in the US (and by consequence in many other countries). The war on drugs is based on pseudo-science and fear.

These are not just a bunch of hypothesis. They have been empirically confirmed by a nation-wide, multi-decade trial in Portugal.

Policy-makers that ignore all of this are not driven by the desire to help people. They have other incentives and/or irrational biases.

In many ways he's understating the problem. At least there used to be file formats to support, and files to lose. But how much of the data you interact with daily is even directly accessible to you? How much of it can you access when you're offline?

Take Slack. You can install it locally, but that doesn't matter, because it won't start without an internet connection, and its local storage is completely opaque. Compare this to a mail client, where everything is stored locally, indexed and searchable offline, and can be exported into a universal albeit messy MIME format, as well as imported into other accounts.

Of course this is necessary for the business model, the Slack free-plan event horizon wouldn't be effective if it only applied to which new data you can sync down... and if users only discovered this when e.g. moving to a new computer, they would quickly start to wonder why they can't just transfer the data they already have themselves.

With Google Drive, your 'docs' are just placeholders pointing to the cloud. You can export them individually to Word or print them to PDF, but it's a manual process, which you will likely only think of when it's too late.

For an example of how this can really matter: an acquaintance is embroiled in a legal dispute with an ex-employer. Thanks to Apple's sane implementation of IMAP Mail on iOS, she still has access to all her company communications there to use as evidence. Unlike on her PC, where she was just using webmail the entire time and has nothing.

The incentive in the cloud age is to create dysfunctional products that provide an illusion of permanence instead of the reality of tangibility. I expect this is only going to become a bigger problem over time.
Well, Portugal and Spain were not really affected by the war. They were, however, affected by the isolationist dictatorships that they had to suffer under for another 30 years.

Back when I was interested in Django I'd go to Python meetups and hear people complain about how the Django project would not accept their patches. They told me that third party changes never make it into Django. That "contrib" is a lie, and that it's made almost entirely by core developers.

Ultimately I found Django to be more trouble than it's worth. I only use it if my work forces me to. I find its design to be obtuse and unpleasant in many places.

Thanks for embellishing Portugal. As a local, I'm not as bullish as you.

Portugal is nowadays a paradox: it has 2 contrarian political systems. One for locals (pro-socialist) and another (raw liberal) to attract foreign money.

E.g: Foreign pensionists don't have to pay taxes, €500k 'investment' (buying an house is enough) will grant you citizenship, Websummit (and consequently raw capitalism) was seen as the Truth by government. All this done while rising taxes for local middle class (freelancer's taxes are a joke), advocating a rigid job market and other ideologic measures that promoted a brain drain like never before.

Yes, Portugal is a great contry for hollydays and retirement, but, sadly, it stops there. However, if you afford to live as a semi-retired (like many remote devs) it might worth it: sun, sea, food and safety (on the places where you'll be at least).

I think that the right title should be "Marketing Firm Exactis Exposed a Personal Info Database with with 340M Records on Internet". This is not a leak, at least there is no evidence of it yet.

> Spain is one of those countries where civil servant is a dream job

Not any longer, at least not in my circles. Years of neglect by the goverment and bad publicity by all actors have made civil servant's jobs both scarce and not that attractive. If there is any other alternative it's prefered over this.

> 'Low level corruption' [...] doing some underhanded businesses

Unfortunately Spannish economy depends on this. People have a meager salary, self employed people cannot demand the correct price for their services (most of the time) because people cannot pay it, so they don't have enough to pay taxes, that means less money for everyone in a vicious circle.

So we don't have enough jobs for everyone, and the taxes self employed people suffer impose most of them a decision: evade some or close shop. Being that the second option is non-sustainable (not enough jobs, remember?) they tend to do the first.

The rest are quite spot on and I agree with them.

Those things - I don't understand or currently agree with your view, so it's a "bad faith question" - are Bay Area culture.

When Melbourne made all trams free in the city centre, trams became unbearable to ride. It used to be just one tram line that was always filled up, now it's every single tram as soon as you get to the free zone.

The transport system was better before Myki in my opinion. More affordable, weekly passes, and paper tickets. In contrast, Sydney's transport used to be a mess with every operator requiring a different ticket, so no transfers from train to bus or ferry. Now with Opal, everything is much simpler, and the best part is going to the airport is really cheap now, if you let your Opal card go negative :)
