You all are kind of scaring me a bit...

I just finished my Bachelor's and am starting my Master's this month. I have no formal research experience, but I planned to dive in during my Master's. For anyone who has done/is doing there PhD, if there is any advice you all could give me in order to get the most out of this next year before I apply for PhD programs, that would be great.
I find it amusing that anywhere with the option for wired internet is considered "rural". Is bufferbloat an issue for satellite based internet in the same way that it is for DSL?
For scientific computing, showing the package ecosystem is the most important thing. When you look at this thread, people are asking about dataframes and differential equations. Julia's site reflects this: yes there are things like Pandas, and for plotting, etc.
A demo isn't the product. Sometimes little details matter. Sometimes they don't. It depends on who is selling what to who...when. The rounded corners all matter if the sales pitch hinges on design. Simulating an iPhone X matters less if the pitch is earlier and about basic function. What and how much to include in a demo varies. Most of it is between pitch perfect simulation and nothing.

I understand free transit does not generally work. However, the Salt Lake region is rather unique in the first place, so I'm curious the effects it would have there. It may still fail but I suspect it would be different than previous studies on free transit.
Apply straight to a PhD program. Don't pay for a graduate degree.
If that worked well enough, these people wouldn't be declaring bankruptcy.
Go's primitives are not really ideal for CPU parallelism. To make CPU parallelism nice you want things like parallel iteration constructs, which Go can't have because of lack of generics. Furthermore, any CPU parallelism work wants the best optimizer around and SIMD support to make best use of those cycles—otherwise it'd be better to just write in C++.

Goroutines and channels are best used as concurrency primitives, not parallelism tools.

I just looks to me like whenever someone mentions a pro point of Signal, it's something where WhatsApp shines even more (e.g. "brings end-to-end encryption to the masses", "it's available on the App stores", "better iOS support than something like Tox", ...).

It helps with figuring out long-term trends, but it's also an improvement even for a single snapshot-in-time decision. If your blood glucose is 150mg/dL and you're trying to get it to 100mg/dL, the difference between "150mg/dL and rising 3mg/dL/min" and "150mg/dL and falling 3mg/dL/min" is the difference between wanting insulin and wanting carbohydrates.
As you intimate, it's a very common misunderstanding that sign languages are forms of spoken languages rather than languages in their own right.

This page (https://signly.co/, for a sign app that gives prerecorded interpretation of public info) has an example of BSL vs English grammar - see "Show Example".

It appears the user is doing an ASL form of Signed English.

ZX Spectrum Vega+ blows a FUSE: It runs open-source emulator
It is not possible to rely solely on rote memorization, and to get a PhD is supposed to require making a substantive original contribution to a field.

Having said that, the skills required to get a PhD are pretty specialised - it's absolutely not a given that people with PhDs are highly-functioning human beings, or even necessarily capable of holding down a conventional job. They will at a minimum have demonstrated the ability to self-organise, a high level of bloody-mindedness, and some very deep knowledge in a probably very obscure field. But unless you move straight into solo academic research in the same field, that's not the same thing as being trained in any strong sense.

Which is why julia doesn't make any assumptions on how your axes are indexed. If you're working in a numerical domain where 0-indexed arrays, or symmetric arrays about the origin, or arbitrarily other transformed axes make sense, just use those.

I do agree with your point but this is about more than just language safety. The point the GP was making was more about expressiveness of languages (or at least that was how I interpreted it). You can have safety even in arguably unsophisticated languages (eg Visual Basic pre-dotnet). However it's true that some languages use their expression as a method of enabling developers to write less buggy software.

Nothing about this commercial[1] suggests there are privacy concerns or serious consequences when it comes to sharing DNA information with Ancestry.com.

I'd be careful with such assumptions. Docker forwards implementation details of the host system/userspace and isn't a VM after all. A Docker image is not forward-compatible with future Docker or host versions. Which implies the question whether people use Docker for the wrong reasons if their intention is to obtain future-proof reproducible builds etc., rather than merely increase image-per-machine density
^ important. If you're trying to provide free access, I always seek ways to mitigate cost. If the API can be slowly updating, like once a day or w/e, then I stick everything behind a static CDN or something such that it should cost you next to nothing. Just a small CPU somewhere to build the JSON endpoints per update cycle.
Use f.lux or an equivalent (most OS have their own implementation by now) that filters out the blue light at software/rendering level, it's not perfect but you do instantly feel the comfort it brings to your eyes.
Been using f.lux for over 10 years and it also helps alot with going to sleep at night. When it's off your eyes/brain thinks that they are in daytime / broad daylight, when it's on I fall asleep 2 or 3 times faster than without.

It’s great that this was found and that the locals hadn’t gone for growing the standard varieties that are used elsewhere.

A local told me it was partly done as an insurance policy against disease. It makes you wonder what else is out there.
>No more OB1 errors

That makes no sense. Neither 1-based indexing or 0-based indexing will save you from OB1 errors.

As a matter of fact, if you make more OB1 errors in a 0-based indexing language, it's probably because your brain is wired to think 1-based.

The problem: there are legions of programmers whose brain is wired to think 0-based and are guaranteed to suffer through a lot more OB1 errors if they try to adopt Julia.

0 based indexing is not because of C's influence. It's because that's how computers work. ASM is 0-based indexing. The first memory cell on a computer doesn't start at address 1.

Yes, UV rays cause damage to pretty much any organic matter, that's the reason we wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and why cheap "fake" sunglasses can be harmful for your eyes (the glass is simply tinted and does not filter out the UVs, which is what they should be doing)

edit: the way I remember it is that like any type of radiation, anything that goes into your body stays there pretty much until your death, the only way to keep your "uv capital" in good shape is to be proactive about it, cant do anything retroactively. This is why about 1/3rd of Australians will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime.

You're correct that they're very similar; PurgeCSS even describes itself as an improvement to PurifyCSS. (Purge tries to actually parse for matches, whereas Purify just looks for the presence of words -- so if you have a .arrow CSS rule in your framework, and you happen to use the word 'arrow' in body text somewhere, Purify will needlessly include that style in its output).

But yes, I actually use both tools in series. I get a small reduction from Purifying the output of Purge (I haven't actually bothered to diff it to see where), and Purify stitches the files together and minifies in addition to pruning.

It doesn't mean you can't request it directly with the bank. It is more cumbersome but they have to be able to provide that data as far back as the country's laws require them to keep it.

It's just that usually data older than 12-24 months is archived and I can guarantee you no API no matter how open it is will allow you to get the data directly from the archive. That's not what the system is meant to do. You'll still get 1-3 years but using a generic app instead of a proprietary one.
And you just moved the goalposts.

> So hold on, does this means we now need regulation on how we can use cash?

Moving your own cash has always been your business. But touch someone else's cash or account has always been regulated, yes. Some companies manage to exploit some gaps in that regulation and give you something but that's not because they should, it's because they can :).

Let me give you an example: you can treat your illness as you please. But if you want to treat other people's illnesses you need a medical degree. A pretty high bar. Unfair, right? :)

> How about we let people be responsible for their own data, and let them do whatever they want with it?

You're basically advocating for the removal of most regulation anywhere. I'm not sure you understand the implications. Which makes me think you'd be the first one to complain that nobody put rules in pace so you don't get bitten just as soon as "being responsible" bites you back.
