Run-time program modification is possible, to a certain extent, when debugging or using libraries like JRebel, which I mentioned.

Again I am not saying you can do everything that Smalltalk allows for, after all it enjoys the flexibility of a dynamic language, just that those environments (.NET and Java) are the closest to the overall experience, from the point of view of someone that used Smalltalk/V back in its golden days.

The dynamism of those IDEs can be traced back to what Xerox PARC was doing on their Mesa/Cedar developer's environment.

These ideas influenced the IDE experience of other statically typed languages.
So it seems that it was just a matter of trust (but it is not clear what trust you were looking for) and frustration with your feedback not getting heard?
Of course there's a distribution of those folks at all other universities, especially at top public ivies like GTech and UCB. But the cumulative effect of being at a lower tier institution can be pretty significant when searching for future opportunities. One thing I've noticed among people at my school is that even if they are very capable, they often don't apply to top internships, top programs for grad school etc, just because they don't see it as an option.
Thank you for posting this. A clean, curated set of samples is a valuable thing.
If you did that, the arbitration decision would get vacated by a court. You can't just choose any arbitrator willy-nilly who will always rule for you. That's just not how this works. Here's a decent-looking article going through some of the bases for getting a court to overturn an arbitration decision: https://www.floridabar.org/news/tfb-journal/?durl=%2FDIVCOM%...

As for why not change the law to let parties choose at the time of the dispute, what you prefer ex ante and ex post is rather different. Ahead of time, you don't know who will be the one claiming wrongdoing of the other, so you'll be willing to agree to binding arbitration. After all, most people go into a deal intending to abide by it, and everyone goes into a deal at least trying to convince the other side of that. But after the fact, the party likely in the wrong would prefer to impose the high cost of litigation on the one likely not in the wrong. It can then unfairly capture a portion of this potential cost by proposing a settlement.

An example with made-up numbers: say you owe me $20,000 and refuse to pay and that it would cost me $5,000 in court and attorney's fees to sue you in court for it. You could offer me a settlement of $16,000 and it would be irrational for me to decline it, as it would leave me better off than winning the lawsuit (and I might not win). Now you have unfairly but legally taken $4,000 from me. If there was an arbitration option at the time of dispute, providing for a process that would only cost me $1,000, you would never accept it. Why would you?

It has to be binding and agreed to before the dispute arises for it to work.
I had a similar experience. My mum had cancer, they gave her “good 7-10” years, she died after 3. I don’t get why they not say instead: “we don’t know. Say everything you want to say, do everything you want to do. Quickly. Be greateful for every (additional) day.”
> Try to work in a BTB product, not a BTC. BTB means way fewer customers, and fewer customers means fewer eyes looking for bugs

This! I worked for two huge (~60 and ~600 million page impressions per month) online communities for a total of 15 years. The level of stress induced by the users whenever something broke, was changed (even only slightly) or they just had a bad day was horrible and led to all kinds of fuzzy health problems (mainly panic attacks and hypertension). I was very attached to the product and always strived to make the users happy, and that played a big part in the problem.

Making slight changes to the interface oftentimes resulted in users insulting us like we had renovated their living room without permission. Can you imagine what it was like when a bug in Apache's mod_cache suddenly cached session cookies?

I always loved the job, but that made it so hard to draw a line and not letting it get to me.

Afterwards I switched employers and started working on a B2B platform in the banking sector. Of course, the enterprise has a different set of problems (in my case, no clue what the requirements really are), but your corporate users are just used to a different kind of standard (hint: way lower than your average Bootstrap frontend). They pay very good money, let you work on interesting things, technology-wise, and users are mostly easy to satisfy.

Targeted killings don’t work, they only “help” replace some leaders with other (often times even more radical) people. This is not just an issue of “maybe we will get better at killing people up from the air soon” because the US has been at this game for almost 20 years now and we are still having the same conversation. War has been and it will always be about politics (meaning how people live and interact with each other, even with their enemies) no technological “breakthrough” is going to change that.

I also take issue with that statement. I've been to Christiania 3 times as a tourist and the drug market looks about as diverse as Copenhagen in general.

Is it not?

1. Having something comes with the risk of loosing it.

2. with risks comes the potential to add worry.

3. People with more to lose have more potential to be worried about it

How is my reasoning flawed?

The only thing you cannot lose is your past. You might lose the memory of it, but that does not nullify it's existence.
PCA for example. It is essentially SVD. And it is quite funny though, I believe that there is no learning in PCA(maybe depends on implementation, but the popular one I believe used heuristics), it is still categoried as ML techniques all the time.

The biggest drawback of a new alphabet is that we burn word shapes into our brain (we don’t read words by letter unless they are unfamiliar), so we would have to get used to a bunch of new shapes (a major disadvantage) even if pronouncing unfamiliar words was easier (a minor benefit).

Go to their website (tech giant companies website), and see what is their selection procedure. Make your aptitude strong. Improve your personal skills. And prepare for an interview. Some interview questions are available on Google so you can give them a shot if you can.

if you want to stand out from your competitors:

1. if you are a fresher, then do some internships

2. do valuable certification course and get a certificate in which you interested (like for who want to get the job as DBA (database administrator), it will great if you are ORACLE certified )

3. take part in online competition (refer this site: Hacker-rank, kaggle, etc.)

4. take part in hackathon

this way you have something that most people (means your competitors) don't have.
and this also makes you stand out from a crowd.

You might find it helpful to do some testing of some sort to try to identify your pain points, even if it is free on the internet personality tests, like Briggs-Meyers. For example: Introverts will be stressed by having to deal with people too much. Extroverts will be fine with that, but will lose their marbles from social isolation.

Then do some informational interviews to find out actual working conditions for various jobs or at various target companies.

Consider the possibility that you may have a hidden disability. They can create areas where a person lacks flexibility and adaptability. If you have some kind of disability, you may mostly need control over things related to that.

Knowing exactly what your pain points are can help you figure out what works and what doesn't. You may not need a low stress environment per se. You may just need low stress surrounding X thing.

It is true that main perceived benefits for alternative layouts are a long-term affordance rather than a peak speed, but in my experience the threshold is pretty high, if not non-existent (the professional transcription typically uses a dedicated keyboard layout with lots of common phrases anyway, so the general-purpose layouts are not relevant there).

I'm not a proficient English writer but I had been in a similar debate for Korean keyboard layouts, with a major split between consonant-vowel models (두벌식 "bipartite type") and initial-medial-final models (세벌식 "tripartite type"). For your information, a single Hangul syllable consists of one initial consonant, one medial vowel and an optional final consonant, with clusters possible for each part. Tripartite models can be (at least theoretically) more accurately optimized as frequency distributions for initial and final consonants would be pretty different, at the expense of slightly more keys to fit in. This theoretical consideration, combined with the fact that distinct keyboard layouts were directly tied do distinct typewriters in 70s and standardizing on the existing layout would effectively encourage a single typewriter, made the Korean government to standardize on entirely new layouts [1] with a bipartite basis. Nowadays tripartite layouts are supported in all major OSes but users are hard to find.

I had been a reasonably fast typist both in English and in Korean. I can continuously type Korean at sustained 600--700 strokes per minute [2], both in the standard bipartite layout and in a well-known tripartite layout (though I do feel pain after typing too long in the former). I can also type English at sustained 90--100 wpm in QWERTY. For both cases these peak numbers were highly meaningless even in the most favorable condition; a brain is not that quick. I had even done various transcription works from time to time and the main limiting factor was a recording quality and not the typing speed. (My work is by no way professional, but I have heard that one task was also sent to a professional transcriber and he/she had gave up due to the recording quality.) That's why I finally gave up learning DSK or elks.

[1] The standardized layouts were different for typewriters and computer keyboards; two are similar enough to be considered as a single layout but the former is typically termed quadripartite rather than bipartite.

[2] "Strokes" because consonant and vowel clusters often take multiple keystrokes. Roughly comparable to 100--150 wpm in English. Of course, all these numbers are not directly comparable to those in the typewriter era.

It the vendor specific tool facillitates the work of the user, why not use it? An academic is another type of a job, and using proprietary tools occurs in multiple professions. It’s use is not that different compared to other jobs.

What are the benefits of taking CBD oil post training?
I find your comment ironic. Consider that you are stating that everything must, at some level, be like humans. This is the most clear cut example of anthrocentric thinking I can imagine! This view is also contradicted by experiment which shows that creatures that are extremely genetically similar to us, still respond very differently to various stimuli thus making the logical view that they indeed do experience the same stimuli in different ways.

Beyond experiment I think it also fails through basic logic as well. Evolution dictates what we become, and we can see the vast variety of changes that evolution has forked among us. Go back far enough and even humans and plants share a common ancestor. To this day a banana shares about 60% of its DNA with a human! But of course it's not just what's on the outside the evolution changes. The way things act, behave, perceive, think, and so on is also controlled by evolution. To assume that somehow everything must, at some level, have internal mechanisms similar to a human is also just not very logical. It'd be like suggesting that everything must have opposable thumbs, because we do. Of course we know that to be very false, but the only reason your statement is not immediately similarly absurd is because you're referencing things that cannot be directly observed.

We had a morally similar concept to "machine learning" in academia during my grad school days: "non-parametric statistic". To me they were anathema, but non-parametric statistics are shockingly common both in academia and in industry. They work well, except when they don't.

Every single living language out there has unstable pronunciation and a lot of local variants. A language is a living thing and is constantly in the flux, both through time and space.

One problem with English spelling lies in tradition, with many pronunciation changes not being followed in spelling -- it used to have quite a phonetic spelling: if you read today's English phonetically it will be quite similar to Middle English. Another problem are inconsistencies added just for the sake of it: e.g. "queen" was originally spelled "cwene" (it's an Anglo-Saxon word) but the spelling was changed according to rules of French orthography used by Norman scribes.

English could adopt phonetic variant of Latin alphabet quite easily -- there is a clearly defined set of phonemes it's using -- but it probably won't because there it is too widely spread across a large number of countries (it's an official language in 59 countries, twice as many as the second language, French, at 29 [0]), and there is no central standardisation body whose decisions might be accepted by all of them.
