R is for people who lean maths and stats from mathematicians and statisticians. Its scripting is quite well aligned to the way its taught in those disciplines. Computer Scientists dislike its huge inefficiency, but for its problem space its a good fit.

Python/Numpy/Pandas is where I think R should be, but I get there are two models here. I use both. Python+plotly gets you to print ready SVG output really quickly. I like Jupyter. I also like Shiny/R.

I tend to think Haskell is a quant thing in data science. You think a lot about the model. You type the royal french bejesus out of the inputs. You adopt strong formalisms about moments of exchange between types, and compositions over types because when you stand up and say "this $32b dollar play has about a 15% upside, if the model holds" you really want to know the model holds, not a pile of bugs I didn't consider holds.
Ariane 5's commercial launches are directly subsidized by the EU. But it's a muddled story all around: if SpaceX rents an unused launch pad from NASA instead of spending $1 billion to build a new one, is that a subsidy? Was NASA's competition for commercial cargo to the ISS a subsidy?

Something is odd about this example. The relative SVG path he gives as an example is missing two segments in the B.

Most of the authors for opinion pieces that get posted here have backgrounds that would imply they're less than impartial. Nobody ever checks when they agree though.
But wasm doesn't do exceptions at all, nor does it have a GC, so it's very far from being able to generate a stack trace through Lisp code. You don't seem to be comparing like with like.

Bytecode has its flaws but the trend is away from using bytecode for all languages and towards partial evaluation of AST interpreters. That works well for managed OO like languages, and also other managed scripting languages, and it can also run C/C++/Rust/FORTRAN etc, with interop between the languages.

WASM has no real roadmap to get to running anything other than small, manually memory managed programs. It's being billed as "generic" but I don't see it. GraalVM is generic. WASM struggles to run anything that requires a more sophisticated runtime than malloc.
Full Unicode is supported nearly everywhere but HN these days. ;P

Also GitHub has long supported :emoji-name: expansions for those that want to limit UTF-8 in their git commits, and for those on operating systems without dedicated emoji soft keyboards. (In recent Windows 10, Windows+. and Windows+; bring up the emoji keyboard. It's great.)

I've seen projects require emoji as prefixed commit type descriptors: a bug emoji like ant is more interesting than FIX:, a wrench more interesting than TOOLING/SUPPORT:, etc. A neat benefit of that is it leaves the commit types as one character width lining things up nicely and leaving more room for meaningful text in the commit header.

I tend to do something similar with my personal repositories though not nearly as systematic.
It's bad for society if the media the people need to effectively express their first amendment rights is preventing them from doing so. In which case freedom of speech loses its meaning. Why even have it if businesses can take over the channels of communication and limit them for profit gains? What kind of principle is that to stand for?
The number of core developers will scale with how well they can separate concerns / components. Three is probably a good number of core developers for this project, but they could probably use a fourth to do things like write tests and do things like test interoperability/compatibility.

But it is controversial. This is the most frustrating thing with ultracrepidarians - you can use a search engine so you think you know better than people who devote their lives to studying this stuff.

If good diet and exercise was effective to prevent depression we'd see lower rates of mental ill health in athletes, but that's not what we see. We see similar rates.

I read a good article once (can’t seem to find it, I’ll link it if I do) where a UX designer had a similar reaction to a website. He was angry that he needed to provide an email address to access the “show me what this tool even is” part of a website. He concluded it was bad UX and wrote an angry tweet.

Turns out the UX of the website had been user tested extensively. The design they chose was the most successful at achieving their goal (new user signup or something).

The learning lesson was you may not be the target user for the design. Or you may not realize what the primary goal of the design is.

Edit: This was the article I referenced https://medium.theuxblog.com/there-are-no-ux-best-practices-...

To clarify I wasn't trying to defend dark / grey UX patterns. Just thought I'd share as it helped me look at (what I consider) bad UX in a different frame of mind.

Enhanced privacy if you consider what's between your device and the DNS operator. But the DNS operator itself learns more about you. They can more accurately fingerprint your devices with DoH than regular DNS due to HTTP sessions, HTTP headers, and TLS tickets.

This concern started being addressed in the latest DoH draft.
> Want to make a team? Find a room, move your desks in there and ->poof<- you have a team. Need to sit nearer the two people you're working closely with this week? Just move your desks together for a while, while staying in the same room as the project. Need your own office for a month or two? You can probably find one, or at least find an out-of-the-way corner that is quiet.

Wow, sounds great.
I think that valuing your uninterrupted time over the team and the product shipping is the truly selfish mindset.

I struggled mightily to find a tactful way of putting this to words, but this states it nicely.

My focus in responding to a teammate asking for help isn't on my time, or at least, it's less about my time and more about the objective behind what motivated a teammate to ask for help in the first place: shipping the feature/product.

If it helps clarify ambiguity or confusion for me to wheel over to this person and verbalize the solution they're looking for and work out the blocker with them by sitting right next to them for 5 minutes when they ask for my help, and we get the best possible outcome as a team, that's what I'm going to do.

Excellently said, snowman.
Companies will keep installing Spyware on peoples computers because they never receive any negative consequences of doing so. Sony installed rootkits on millions of computers and nothing happened, nothing will happen here. The law needs to catch up and actually defend our privacy, principles aren't going to cut it.
A few months ago I launched my first commercial video game, Omnicube. It's a really hard puzzle game set on a talking cube in space.

After the initial launch sales bump, we've been earning about $400/month.

We launched the game on Steam, Windows Store, and itch.io.

I'd be happy to discuss any aspect of the project in more detail. Here are the links to the store pages for anyone who is interested:

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/800860/Omnicube/

Windows Store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/omnicube/9njcwkrx4mm...

None of that constitutes constructive dismissal, because it doesn't constitute discrimination against the complainant (quite the opposite, in fact).
>It has to be mutually beneficial, otherwise drivers would be doing something else. We don't have slavery in this country anymore.

I want to be clear here, and I'd appreciate it if you did not put words in my mouth. I never claimed rideshare drivers were slaves. I was questioning the degree to which the arrangement was beneficial to both parties.

If everyone was perfectly rational, I would agree with you. But many of these additional costs are hidden. Uber advertises ~$8 an hour, which sounds pretty good. But they don't mention the wear and tear on the car, the increased cost of mechanics, etc. I'm not convinced most drivers are aware of that or look into it.

Clearly it is somewhat beneficial for the drivers. $4 an hour is better than $0 an hour, but I still think it's worth pointing out it's not even minimum wage in the US.
> Truthfully, if Europe ever did develop a reusable rocket, one that could fly all the missions in a year, this would be unhelpful politically. What would the engine and booster factories sprinkled across Europe do if they built one rocket and then had 11 months off? The member states value the jobs too much.

It feels incredibly short-term to me. How many jobs will be created by opening up spaceflight at 1/100 the cost? How many new types of satellites, technology, human transport will be created?
Although I agree that buying everything organic is irrational there are certain products where the organic version is quite different. A good example are tomatoes where market bought often taste like plastic. This is my

This is simply untrue.
Are these proposals "a la carte" or does each accepted proposal make the basic WebAssembly spec bigger?

Like if the GC proposal is accepted, does every WebAssembly implementation now need to support GC all the time? Or can a slimmed-down version of WebAssembly still load modules that don't use GC?
JD Unveils HD Maps for Robotics and Autonomous Driving
Honestly, my feeling is that proprietary systems preclude reproducibilty in principle. One can argue that, in practice, people rarely dig i to the guts of R or Python to validate routines. However, in SAS, that just isn’t possible.

Open Source isn’t pixie dust, but at least it doesn’t a priori preclude digging down to the bottom of the stack.

More pragmatically, I wouldn’t want work that I do to only be validatable by people who can afford SAS. I’d rather not impose other socio-demographic biases into knowledge work if I can help it.
What type of thing is N? What you wrote doesn't seem to make sense if N is just a constant, but I don't see how it makes sense if N is a function? Or maybe you didn't mean multiplication?

E.g. N = 3, x = 2, y = 3

N(xy) = 3(2 . 3) = 18

N(x)N(y) - N = 3(2) . 3(3) - 3 = 51, which is not 18

Hey, look at my cute granddaughter. Those conventional raspberries must be great, right?

We can use a little less land to grow most crops if we do it conventionally, that makes it okay, right?

Some big bad marketers work for companies selling organic products, which makes organic bad, right?

Agree. Unless I missed it, I didn't see the author acknowledge the huge leaps in tuition costs. Should be noted that the author is a Libertarian, so his range of solutions will (likely) be limited by that perspective.
> non-self-inflicted chemical imbalance,

This is a flag that shows you don't know what you're talking about. No one credible talks about chemical imbalance; it's a model that's been out of use for many years now.
He addresses safety and chemicals at length in the article. Natural chemicals do not mean they’re non-toxic. Organic does not mean no pesticides.
Enjoy your environmentally-wasteful famine-enhancing feel-good food.
My point is actions speak louder than words and their actions paint a very clear picture.

Really, it's more than just being divisive that's at issue. At core you need to consider two factors.

1. Strong minority support vs general but weak opposition
2. Minimal direct impact

Assault Weapons Ban is a similar thing. Something people really care about, but can go months or years without thinking about it.

The point is these things both provide support and distractions. But, when one side gets into power they don't actually try and change much.
Those are good for supplementary exposition (especially 3Blue1Brown), but they're not suitable for learning on their own. They're also a bit of a hodge podge beyond calculus and linear algebra.

To understand what's going on here in any meaningful sense, the parent commenter should pick up an accessible undergrad textbook on abstract algebra. It doesn't have to be particularly advanced. Then they'll have a better foundation for understanding the algebraic features of various number systems.

Unless someone is forcing your kid to eat food with sugar in it, it's not a good comparison.

I'm sure your neighbors will love being woken up in the middle of the night. Perhaps some of them would be glad to live in a society where there are reasonable limits on what situations other people can force you into for their own pleasure.

Please note that this comment isn't really directed at you specifically - you might not have close neighbors or they might be truck enthusiasts as well. It's directed at all owners of obnoxiously loud trucks who don't care how it affects other people, which may or may not be you.
Here in the UK, train tickets are also 0 VAT, whether domestic or international.

Is this really true?

Decades ago, the Pascal camp hijacked the term for the requirement of explicit conversions in a static language.

Pascal would be strongly typed because for instance, characters and integers will not inter-operate without chr and ord, and also floating and integer conversions must be explicit. This is in contrast with something weakly typed like C. The weakness in C can be a problem. For instance, a floating to integer conversion that is out of range of the target type invokes undefined behavior. Also, when in range, it can produce a value not equal to the original integer, due to lack of precision. So an innocuous statement like f = i; that passes static type checks without any required diagnostics can go wrong. If a cast were required to make the diagnostic go away, then that at least creates a visible record in the program text that a dangerous conversion is taking place.

Another use of "strongly typed" in the realm of Pascal is that it refers to name equivalence for type alias definitions. The C typedef mechanism is weakly typed because "typedef int user_id_t" doens't create a new type; user_id_t is the same thing as int, such that a pointer to user_id_t is compatible with pointer to int and so on.
> a realistic path to a reusable rocket

Technologically realistic. Politically unfeasible. ArianeGroup's factories provide high-paying jobs across Europe. Re-tooling them will not be possible for another generation.

Source: I worked with launch start-ups. Their dismissal by EU politicos was resounding, particularly in contrast to the American and other countries' responses.
The GDPR uses the term "personal data" rather than PII. Any data can become personal data if it could be related to an individual by any practical means. Whether or not you collect my name, address or social security number is largely immaterial - if you can figure out who I am based on the data you collect, then it's personal data.

As Getting Things Done taught us, our inbox is not our to-do list. For example, in the screenshot at the top of the landing page: what action do I take on "Jennifer: Privacy Policy draft #3"? So in this state this would not be a benefit to me.

But a fairly simple tweak would change the equation: a feature to process emails by converting a message into 0, 1, or multiple actions that would then go through the board. Those actions would include the email for context.

A card board that allows me to stay on top of my duties without a separate email client (and without turning my inbox into my todo list) could be a very nice tool.

Congrats on shipping this!
Look up "Ancient Aliens debunked" on youtube. It's essentially a three-hour long feature about ancient technology and what could be done with it. Very cool.

edit: and yeah, they go into great detail when discussing ancient masonry. Basically, the ancients used sand (as an abrasive) and wooden saws to cut hard stone like granite.
Embedded maybe, but it's a good feature for literally the rest of applications.
We see what you did there, providing an example of not mentioning numbers too soon in the process, right? Except that in this case it seems.... slippery. Hmmmm.
But organic farms still spray 'chemicals' on their fruits and veggies, they just use 'natural' chemicals.

Whether a 'chemical' is harmful to humans or not has nothing to do with how it is manufactured, so there is no reason to believe a 'natural chemical' is safer than a synthetic one.
Using their tool (https://www.henleypassportindex.com/compare-passport)

> Can you blame people for trying to make a career out of it when that's how Uber and Lyft marketed themselves when they first started to grow?

If Uber/Lyft really marketed it as a viable career option, then yeah, they definitely hold some responsibility there. The vibe I got was that ride sharing was something you could do on the side for fun, or maybe to/from a long commute or something for some bonus (but not sustainable) side income.
Sure, if you ignore the data around wage stagnation, income inequality, accumulated wealth, etc.

When you actually look at the data it tracks with another development, one often ignored (as you yourself did here): the decline of union participation and activism.

I distinctly remember a debate that occurred for a time under GWB around "values voters", with "the left" (broadly and generally speaking) asking why Americans voted against their economic interests in favor of "moral values" and "the right" (again broadly and generally speaking) arguing that for some "moral values" hold more weight than economic interests.

I mention this because there is a deliberate attempt to remove responsibility of blue collar workers from their plight. All those guys you mentioned? Yea, they were elected. GHWB on the strength of being Reagan's VP, Clinton was re-elected after NAFTA and his VP Gore won the popular vote, GWB won in 2004 on the strength of "values voters", etc.

Well yeah, math books...

Jokes aside, i too think we need a new framework for divulgating math that actually tells what you need to know, without just handwaving at it, BUT without the amount of technical details of a mathematics class.

What do you know, i think this is Possible, too.. You can communicate a surprising amount of information if you use words properly.

Of course, since this has never been done except from basic maths, it would be quite a task to embark in, and one would only do it if it made economic sense..
