> For speech to be powerful it requires the consent/cooperation of the spoken-to

This is where you are wrong.

You already admitted that there are involuntary aspects of speech processing, and this is a step in the right direction.

Your mistake is dismissing how powerful these involuntary aspects are, and this mistake probably stems from your irrational faith in human agency despite all odds.
A lot of machine learning datasets only include metadata with a link to the original source (e.g., a full resolution image which might be too wasteful to include with the dataset).

So the first step is to write a crawler and async is a really fast way to do that because everything is network IO bounded.

I did not see a threat to kill.

The "knife" comment was a crude, terribly crude, reference to a "transitioning" operation.

Again, I am not condoning the crude language and possible actions, but among those I don't see "denying the right to exist".

Objecting to use of bathrooms is not denying the right to exist.

A CEO can talk frankly in his office or on the golf course. Perhaps even in front of the board. At any other time he should be scripted.

I occasionally had a call from the CEO's secretary to review any statements about systems in my domain. Usually that was distilled down to one bulletpoint on a slide, but it still had to be checked and approved. Too much at stake to let him ad lib from memory.

One of his predecessors did so in the late 90s and publically committed us to a Web retail presence within a year. That was not a fun year.

> OSX has decimated the Linux on consumer baremetal use case.

By consumer baremetal you probably mean laptops and desktop PCs, because if I would include routers, NASes and phones, your argument would be dead on arrival. Even if we limit ourselves to laptop/desktops, OSX did not decimate Linux, because the Linux desktop never actually had a high market share to begin with. All the charts I have seen show that the Linux Desktop market share was consistently low, the existence of the Mac didn't affect it much.

The 3 main reasons the Linux desktop isn't reaching bigger audiences are:

- driver issues, which is partially because of the way kernel development works
- no one good consistent UI
- too many distros and versions and configurations to support

If you would erase the Mac from history, these wouldn't be affected.

The consistently low market share has little to do with the kernel.

> but the intent is clear and confirmed.

The interest was there with Google Wave, Google Reader, Dart, Google Plus, Picasa and Google Desktop Search as well among other things, companies can change their mind.

> but containers and platforms like Kubernetes serve in part to weaken Linux's position in that space.

Containers were made possible by Linux kernel features, the container images are all Linux, I don't see how that weakens it, at the end of the day, your application still runs on Linux.

> followed by Azure-specific features being made available through proprietary extensions making the next versions of those containers some combination of a Linux-compatible userspace mixed with WSL-specific extensions for the Azure-specific magic.

I'm failing to see what does this speculation has to do with the original argument.

> It would be pretty sad if in another decade the only time we encounter Linux running on baremetal is on gadgets for tinkering like the raspberry pi.

There are plenty of laptops and desktops that work well with Linux if that's what you need, there are vendors like System76 that are dedicated to giving you just that.

But I'm not sure if I have the same opinion of asyncio. To be honest, I don't even know if I understand it completely. There are so many concepts and IMHO they're not really intuitive, so it's difficult to put pieces together and find out how those individual concepts relate to each other or work with each other.

On the surface it looks simple, but it's really like going down a rabbit hole. The more I try to understand it, the more I agree with Armin Ronacher's article on asyncio [1].

Yes. But you usually don't do that to trigger an aegism detector. Also, if you include previous work experiences (with dates obviously) one can still determine how old you are.

Nevertheless, once you go there in person for your interview, people will notice anyway.

First one is obvious, every person is ... a person. 2nd and 3rd are not determinable by looking.
There are some use cases in web programming. For example, if a request handler (view, in Django's terminology) is in turn calling out some external endpoints, you don't want those external requests to block other requests to your API. For things like those, async is actually quite nice.
> Isn't this a misuse of Github? Surely there's a more suitable website for hosting a page with text and pictures than a source control system?

This part of your reply was too silly to even warrant a reply.

You are the one setting up a straw man. The article does not say (nor do I): "speech causes harm, if x causes harm, x is violence, therefore speech is violence", which is what you are arguing ("not everything that causes harm is violence"). Violence, obviously, is meaningless unless there is some person behind the violent act. This is why your silly sentence "bananas are literally violence" is incoherent: you are confusing an act (speech) with a thing (banana).

You are constructing a meta-straw-man by construing me as a straw-man construer.
So then let them be people. Why do you need to distill a person down to one adjective?

Anyways, I can see this is pointless. I hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

It's the simplicity. That's all. Making things easier and more accessible. I don't know how can I explain it more because that's the whole point of Github Pages, like on their site "Websites for you and your projects". And that's it.
My point was that depending on how you structure your tests knowing the location of the assert might not help you, for instance you could have a helper function that would validate something and generate a failure if something goes wrong, in this case knowing that this specific function failed doesn't help much understanding what test specifically failed. My point was that if you need GDB to figure out what exactly failed then you don't have a very user friendly test framework.

> you almost grasped my point. In fact you even managed to produce spontaneously one of the most famous examples of this principle

Hmm...try to think for a second. Which do you think is more likely: (a) that I "spontaneously" produced this famous example, or (b) that I am actually quite familiar with the field in general and Lakoff's work in particular, for example by having studied linguistics?

Hmmm...

Rest assured that I disagree with you not out of ignorance of the point you are trying to make, but by knowing the point quite well and disagreeing with it, because it is incoherent.

As I explained before, you are combining two very distinct things, first the more or less autonomous speech processing that we do and second the longer term effects, positive and negative. These two are not the same at all.
> The "knife" comment was ... reference to a "transitioning" operation

Just because you dress up violent language in multisyllabic official-sounding words like "transitioning operation" doesn't mean the violence of the language disappears.

Interesting musings. I think the author dismissed graphs a bit too early. Making lists another first-class object (e.g. by always having nodes be lists) might be a bit less elegant but would work for his constraints.

The data structure he describes in the last article is actually well known in Prolog as difference lists (except that you can't do higher order logic programming with them). Converting between terms and lists is also well supported by Prolog. Granted, the syntax is not as nice as using S-expressions with special sugar for terms.

I concede that being able to handle segfaults as test failure is a very nice feature, however dealing with signal handlers is a bit more involved that simply using return values and I believe that it might cause portability issues (does it work on Windows for instance?).

I agree that for a decent test framework it might be the best approach but I think at this point we're no longer talking about "a minimal unit testing framework" which was the point of TFA.
> You argue that these US documents apply in China?

Not at all. I argued that certain human rights are inherent to being human. The US Constitution does not invent or bestow those rights, it recognizes and guarantees them. (And yes, the US government has fallen short of that now and then.)
For what it's worth, my resume to this day is still this style. I'm around 40, been in various forms of IT since end of high school. My resume has never been more than a bullet point list of my skills, and my experience.

I've gotten almost every job I've applied for based on that + the interview. The few I haven't gotten, weren't because of the resume (I've always asked why, so I could improve).
One, you choose your occupation.

Two, if you really want to reduce redundancy just use "person/people." Everyone knows if you say "homeless person", that that person is, in fact, a person. Seems like an extra word there.

If you want to be precise and point out someone is homeless, use "person, who is homeless." If two words and a comma is too redundant for you, see my first point.
People often critique C without acknowledging the simplicity and versatility of C as a platform: C always comes ahead when you need to write portable, simple code without dependencies and without overhead(zero-cost abstractions).
Writing big monolithic projects in C is hard, but making dozens of components, libraries and utilities turns out much easier(Unix way) and they can be optimized/combined at every level as tools instead of monolithic parts of a projects, creating lots of code/program reuse scenarios.
C is also simple in terms of code generated, assembler doesn't expand to 1000 lines from 1 line of C. C keeps performance predictable and easy to reason to about.
“As they planned the trip, however, Ostrem and Wernstedt-Lynch noticed a pattern.

This mirrors most of my experience for travel advice. Why do people give advice when they haven’t been there and don’t know anyone that has?!?
All the known species of flowering plants are documented. By definition there is an holotype and a paper describing it, but often is a pain to unbury the info. It happens all the time in taxonomy; lots of old documents are not in digital format other are in a different country and you need to lend books and journals in other countries or to ask for obscure papers on forums. Some species are forgotten except by maybe ten people in the planet able to differenciate it.

This is a quest to put photos of all the species in one single place, but 1) there are a lot of digital herbariums around yet promoted by universities and 2) this is a battle that google won long time ago.

Simply, this is a too big goal for two people only, and there is not need to duplicate efforts in another page like this. Just correcting and keeping trace of the everchanging scientific names would need an entire team of experts. You just can't build a "wikipedia level" webpage alone.

>> > The "knife" comment was ... reference to a "transitioning" operation

The ellipsis: "crude, terribly crude,"

If the only way you can make your points is by egregious selective quoting, maybe you should reconsider those points.

Anyway, I've already stated that I find the language not just crude but also despicable. While I think it is rather obviously over-the-top hyperbole it could also in my mind (no legal expert) rise to the level of incitement to violence, and of course the language is violent, though not "violence".

None of it is "denying the right to exist", which again, does not mean it is not completely wrong and despicable.

The Europass CV lists various personal information for inclusion, including address, date of birth and sex. The online editor[0] mentions that all fields are optional, and some of them are listed under extra fields, but before the online editor, these templates circulated only as Word documents for about a decade, with less nuanced instructions.

It was implied that you had to fill out the template properly, including adding a photo, and as a result we were sending unnecessary personal information to all companies we applied to.

Take AlphaGo, because I know Go quite well. A computer is making better decisions than a human, using a pretty reasonable approximation of the same mechanism as a human but scaled up. It needs relatively more resources (gameplay time, expert attention, etc) to a achieve a more focused result than a human expert.

At the moment, it is very easy to suspect that it is only the economics of training a neural net (hardware, specialist attention, data gathering an processing) that is holding us back from AGI.

Human brains can evolve by chance. Nothing fundamental is stopping us from creating a synthetic one. Natural Intelligence isn't that smart either, realistically.

As to the discussion about 1 page v. multi-page c.v.'s: a c.v. is ADVERTISING. If you get the interview, you bring along a more comprehensive document in which you can go into detail about subject areas which may be relevant but don't merit inclusion on a one-pager.

FWIW, I was at a talk by an asyncio core developer at EuroPython and he said they are looking very closely at how to improve the asyncio API in upcoming 3.8/3.9 releases. In particular, looking at good ideas they can pull in from libraries such as trio.

Maybe Python 4 will mark a maturing of asyncio?
