Yeah of course, like when you kill someone and make a baby the next day it cancels out and everybody is fine. We need to stop with this bs "carbon credit" and other "just plant trees" making dirty petrochemical industries wash themselves from any responsibility (with their argument "hey what are you talking about i just invested as much into fighting climate change as building new refineries, this is huge money"). There is only one way to win against climate change and it's to solve the root of the problem, not pour money into the consequences, ignore the causes and call it a day.

Of course investing money into problematic consequences is useful, but as a society we need to stop lying to ourselves about the root of the problem which is our lifestyle. We consume too much energy, we need to lower petrochemical industry to it's bare minimum (eg eliminate most plastic packaging and recycle it more), we need to stop intensive agriculture and extremist exploitation of natural resources and ecosystems. And we need to change our personal lifestyle, buy less ultra-packaged cooked meals, buy fruits/vegs/cereals/sugar in bulk, not buy a car to our kids just because why not. And make people around follow your lead by hassling them. And yeah, i meant "around you" literally, do go after people that leave trash in parks or throw cigarette buts on the street (be nice, pick it up, but do engage conversation).

When LEGO will replace plastic with something nicer they will be doing the only useful thing they could do, which is actually solving once and for all the environmental problems their business creates. Not simply being "concerned" and rolling out a green logo.

My question was specifically about the rationality of offering these wages, not about accepting them. Whether or not companies deserve blame for the employees taking jobs with low pay, that wasn't my question at all. My question is whether it makes sense to entrust security to people with low pay.

By your argument, it doesn't; a single well-placed argument from you can have all the security guards from Google tomorrow and someone helpful in every aisle at Target.

And I can't tell you much about bananas but in my first tech job out of college my management sat me in a room one day and said, "We think you're doing a good job so we're going to pay you more." Apparently this is called a "raise" and is not uncommon? There must be some rationality behind it, even though I've never give a so-called "raise" to a banana.

Yes, for personal projects I've moved away from SPAs to backend frameworks and as little JS as I can get away with. I admit I don't know how easy Turbolinks or PJAX are. A while back when i played around with Intercooler in Django it wasn't seamless.
No, I was living alone while going to school. I would starve myself so I could save more money. What is the difference between X day fasts and what I did?

I am not trying to claim that fasting doesn't work, just noting my personal experience. For me it certainly worked in the sense that I saw the fakeness of "if you don't eat for X days you get super hungry or weak/sick/you die", I was perfectly ok.. but not amazing.

"Female" is an adjective and "women" is a noun.

In English you can very often use a noun to qualify another noun (like in "house brick"), but it's rare for "A B" to mean "B which is an A" (more often it's something like "B for an A" or "B concerning an A").

The form "Woman X" is relatively recent (it's appearing because using "female" for humans is becoming mildly taboo), so it seems odd to someone who isn't used to it.
Bullshit. My kids lived for years within 10 houses of a trailhead. They could have explored 20 miles of trails on any given day. Not once. Not ever. No one goes outside. And the soccer moms are now Facebook moms, their own screentime making them so anxious that the vanishingly low possibility that some kid could get kidnapped is enough that they don't throw the kids outside and lock the door.

Being locked out of the house was my default state most summers.

What have I bought lately that I've seen an ad for?

I signed a lease for an apartment after searching google maps for the closest corporate apartment buildings (Bozzuto) near my job.

I bought Verizon internet because that's what the building is wired for.

I bought an LG phone because I impartially reviewed the specs and played with the phones at the closest Walmart to my house.

I bought a bag of onions and some ground chicken from the closest/cheapest super market to my house.

I think you get the point. I don't buy things like RGB keyboards or concert tickets, that require exposure

That implies eating breakfast at work for most people. Also you need to be leaving work promptly at 5pm, not have too long a commute home and then start cooking straight away if you want to eat dinner by 6.30pm. (I do this, but didn't pre-kids, and don't think it fits by default into most people's lives).

DRF is nice, but what I'm looking for is something more radical where the frontend and the backend is more integrated. The way it's done now data structures are duplicated. Of course this has to do with how things are done with REST over HTTP. Meteor actually implemented their own websocket protocol -- it's ideas like that I'm looking for.

Of course you risk making monoliths with this approach, but like I said I'm primarily looking for something that makes it easy for solo developers or small teams.

The Conversation We Really Need to Have About Bias at Google
Every time - every single time - I have started building an application using Sinatra I have regretted not building it in Rails from the start.

I totally understand the desire for a minimal and clean codebase. If I’m not going to use 80% of Rails, why would include it, right?

But in practice, I have found there is basically zero cost to using Rails instead.

Apologies, I did not mean to imply it was only a matter of multiplication. Only that training has several steps that are a giant matrix multiplication. The more data to train, the larger the matrix.

Edit: also, it isn't the activation function that makes it deep, is it? Rather, it is the literal depth of the network. Right?
Perhaps I’m a bit simpleminded here, but the answer to me seems pretty obvious. A lot of people spend a lot of time driving places. You can’t use your iDevice while driving. But you could if you had a self driving car. Owning an autonomous vehicle would open up a bit more free time in one’s day to use consume content and use apps. Which seems like something that might benefit Apple. Whether they actually produce a car, or just license the software that powers the car, or contributes their research to the industry as a whole, self driving vehicles seem strongly in Apple’s favor.
They went digital-only last year.

Fair criticism of my post. I will try and pick this up to take a deeper look. That quote just set a lot of my hairs raising. Sounded too much like someone selling me something.

This is pretty amazing. Both GitHub and Shopify are huge, billion dollar companies running on the original apps made over a decade ago. And they now both on the latest Rails, helping to push the framework forward [1]

I can't wait for y'all to see what we upstream now that we're in a position to give back and improve Rails. My keynote; Rails 6.0: Scalable by Default [2] at RailsConf was just a small portion of our plans for Rails. [3]

There are also work from Discourse on Rails performance, Ruby is getting a Method JIT. [4] and working on more pref work. TruffleRuby is close to 1.0 and it is available on all ruby manager [5]. The Open Source build is now also available on macOS as well.

There are lots more, and all of them were years in making, It took a year for Github to get to latest Rails release.
For the past few years, many have been writing off Ruby Rails, Ruby is comparatively expensive to scale ( and it still is ) , we expect other frameworks to catch up in terms of productivity, and will spell doom to Ruby Rails. Not only has such framework yet to appear, Ruby Rails continues to improve on all front.

I say the best days of Ruby Rails has yet to come.

This was my thought. Am I correct in saying the batch size influences the size of the matrix? Or is there a more natural limiting factor?
If you truly believe that MySQLs MATCH comes close to be plethora of different queries you can fire at an ES or Solr server, you’re missing some fundamental part of the picture. Sure, it might have been possible to squeeze Lucenes or elasticsearchs query language into something that looks like SQL, but it would still remain a custom SQL dialect which would require substantial domain knowledge to handle. The fundamental problem in that domain is not the query language, it’s knowing which query on which underlying field definition will produce the desired result. Squeezing the query language into some sql-like shape will provide marginal gain at best.

I like your interpretation as filter/signal logic.
I should have qualified my post with the assumption that such a compiler could be written. I don't know if it could. I suspect, if a compiler was focused on one specific micro-architecture rather than a general ISA, that it could.
No doubt predicted by the horoscope.
As we transition to a more multicore, multi threaded environment Ruby cannot perform well. And thus by induction Rails.
An interesting way forward is functional programming, because of its composable nature can perform really well in such environments.
I dont see where Rails ideal niche exists going forward, is it in Large Apps that need really scalable apps that exist on multicore environments?
Does it lie in small SPA like apps for which it has virtually no support? or
Does it lie in the middle where you just throw more hardware at the problem before rewriting the whole app?
In the last one yr i have seen more enterprise apps being activated in Nodejs than in Rails. Why does the enterprise Like Nodejs while Rails is on its downward spiral? i suspect it has to do with Nodejs being Beginner friendly.
I left the Rails ecosystem 3 yrs back never looked back, and i dont see why i would ever go back.

Interesting points. Also, I've always wondered how you do prevent lying when it comes to self-reporting? Extroverts, who are expected to be happy, could just self report as being happy, even when they are not. How do we know that participants are really being honest?

> This constant push to be "happy" makes life worse for the "sad" people.

It also makes it worse for "happy" people because they have a higher bar to climb.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of "teens are lonely", "teens are depressed", "loneliness epidemic", etc. We know that media content influences everyone, especially teens. What effect are the news stories themselves having on the kids.
> is an effective way to lock up that carbon for a long time

It is not. It may be locked up for a little while (~100 years) but we're talking about ridiculous amounts in comparison of the millions of years that make up for long-term carbon cycle. When it degrades (burning, decomposition) it just releases the carbon. The tldr of the environmentally problematic human action on the carbon cycle is that we are pumping carbon from the long-term cycle (coal, petroleum, eg inside the earth's crust) into the short-term cycle (atmosphere, biosphere). Biosphere already so huge that there's no way we can make up for our pumping by making it bigger. We just have to stop emptying the long-term cycle. (or find a way to pump the other way; i'm no geologist or chemist but this sounds very unlikely for energy efficiency reason)

I didn't listen to the whole thing nor do I care about any one individual thing, but they did talk about the co-founders as well from what I saw.

The sun reaches its highest point at a time sufficiently far from 12:00.

That's answering by reformulating the question. Now I would ask why is having the noon "sufficiently far" from 12:00 wrong.

What would happen is that times would lose all intrinsic meaning.

You did it again.

When you schedule an international call, people can say "that's 5 o'clock in the morning for us". If the whole word were to use UTC, you would loose that, and we would have to invent a new way to say that. You know – some kind of "localized time" :).

Is scheduling internation calls really the biggest problem that would arise? Good.

Anyway, you would say: "we are available from 22:00 to 4:00" and that is all. The way to say what time of the day is already exists: morning, afternoon...
Just curious: what are negative connotations of "female"? I'm not a native speaker.
Makes me wonder: is there any research showing how much % of cold calls results in customer satisfaction, short and long term?
Enterprise moves over to Node mainly because of hype, sometimes performance. Node is very library based, there is no framework that can compete with Rails there. In the wild Node web projects often lack a coherent structure because there is no agreed upon way to do things. Rails is perfect for e.g. inhouse websites in the enterprise.
Not only that but Flint, Michigan and some other communities have tons of kids with huge quantities of lead in their blood.

At least in my limited experience, matrix multiplication optimization is some combination of a) so specific to the specific matrices being used that the optimization amounts to finding "tricks" to reduce the problem (dgemm to sgemm or sgemm to syrk, etc.) and thus is not generally useful or b) so highly tied to IP that general optimizations (be they mathematical or advances in GPU or CPU low-level code) are kept secret.
Another thing I wondered about is the impact of automation and volatility on, for lack of a better word 'involuntary' micro social interactions.

Until fairly recently people had 'forced' social interactions when doing their finances, shopping etc. Even if involuntary they 'trained' people's social skills and withered away at their acquired/innate social anxiety.

Furthermore, even in these situations the persons you interacted with, the cashier at the supermarket, the bank teller, the shop assistant, were often there for a fairly long time, so that all those social-micro-transactions added up over the years. Yes, they were 'strangers', but stangers you to some extend 'knew' or where familiar with. Being around those made you less lonely.

Now you do your banking through an app and a teller machine, you shop online, and if we are to believe the proponents soon your pizza and beer will be delivered by a drone and your online groceries and other purchases by a self driving van. The few contacts in those situations you might still have are not with the same person, but with randos fulfilling a 0 knowledge scripted for efficiency procedure. These interactions can't compound into a latent unspoken social bond and thus contribute nothing to alleviating the feeling of loneliness.
I'm not sure I agree with this, you can always achieve parallelism with multiple processes and IPC, and can do so fairly efficiently if communication is light.

Rails' biggest problem is that it isn't JavaScript, and thus code is not portable between client and server.
Would you consider laravel to be that framework that allows rapid development increased speed and provides an easier way to scale.
seems like very strong confirmation bias
It is not an oxymoron. An item can be simultaneously seen as "affordable" and "luxurious". Since it's just a phone, anyone can save up enough money given enough time and/or external sources of money (e.g. parents), but that doesn't mean it's cheap (not luxurious) - "cheap luxury" would make an oxymoron, but this is merely "affordable".
Then close the bug tracker, don’t waste everyone’s time. The serious bugs will pop up in some ways.

I’ve filed proper bug reports that went nowhere and guess what, I’ve lost interest in doing so since it was pointless. I’ve moved on to other projects that took them more seriously.

Right. But without an activation function, the matrix multiplications would just compose into a single matrix for the whole net. I guess the floating-point rounding brought up above is supposed to serve as an activation function for this purpose, though I haven't looked into it.

I have rarely seen the mystical pattern of "sharing Javascript code between client and server" actually work in a scalable and maintainable way outside of having a shared "enums" file.
If that were so true why would people rewrite apps in Go or use a JVM Language? Process based parellelism is memory intensive and you a=have no control, the best one can do is hope that the scheduler of the OS will take care of everything. Also code portability is not the issue, it is about what gets you started quickly scale well for a long time and dont ask for rewrites. Rails doesnt fit the bill, you cannot get started fast, It doesnt scale well unless you throw more hardware, MVC breaks with slightly complicated apps.
