“And Phoenix would be the Rails to Erlang's Ruby (Elixir). The learning curve is steep, you will need to learn OTP. Which is probably why adoption lags."

The author has no idea what they are talking when it comes to the alternatives.

I was making simple CRUD apps in Phoenix (the types of apps I would normally use rails for) for a year before I even looked at OTP. You can become productive in elixir and Phoenix very quickly especially if you come from a ruby/rails background.

I recall a blog post by dockyard where they said they had new hires making commits within the first week.
Correlation isn’t causation. China could have done even better than it did if it was a more open market, and indeed it didn’t start growing rapidly until the government started getting out of the way in the 80s.
People on Twitter have mentioned that this probably extends private set intersection where each party learns the intersection of a set without learning either input set, but that wouldn't quite be enough.

If you assume there is an algorithm where Google can provide some "encrypted" form of their "users who have seen this ad" list such that the amount spent can be computed without knowing the intersection, you could exclude people who have opted out from the list Google inputs into the algorithm.
Couldn't even read the article. The ads are so aggressive that my instant reaction was to just close the page.
Never trust experimental evidence presented by the author of the theory that it validates.

However, if subsequently verified by others - wow - instant Nobel Prize for Sir Roger.
If you make substantial sum of money and try to use it in the real world, they have to show it's origin or it's confiscated. In most of the world anything larger than $10,000 or 10,000 EUR is tracked.

We have anonymous money for the most of the history and laundering the money into legitimate money has always been difficult and expensive process. It can be done but you pay typically 20-30% for the service and it's risky.
I don't see any bulk ciphertext dump yet, but conclusions after analysis seem to be available at https://archive.org/details/thevenonafiles&tab=collection

If anyone knows if the raw ciphertexts with metadata (say date, source/"lane") are available please share! I think it would be more fun and educational to exercise on real quasi-OTP ciphertexts...
Where did this happen? Even if it actually happened, do you seriously feel that this actually works in changing the attitude of a society?
These are what Microsoft calls "suggestions" (aka adverts). I think they only actually install when you first click on them.

Fortunately they're UWP apps so are easy to completely remove. Turning off the "Show suggestions" settings will stop them coming back.
As safe as a smallish motor cycle? I would think so. But "safe"? The word describes a feeling a person has, so unless you specify some kind of measurable metric, like "50% of the population would feel safe using it" or fatalities per mile would never be less than 3 times that of cars, using it is just you personal feeling about things. Useful to you but not so useful to people that don't know what safe means to you.
I wonder if the wheel is more suited to wheelchairs because they are pushed at the rim, rather than turned from the hub (as in a bicycle or car). The whole mechanic whereby the hub moves eccentrically relative to the rim when the springs compress seems likely to create all kinds of rolling resistances if the wheel is being turned from the hub - or even if it is being pushed along undriven by a load at the hub. But the unusual rim-driven mode of wheelchairs maybe is the sweetspot for this kind of thing? In particular, it seems that by compressing the springs in particular directions, torques on the wheels will create linear forces on the load - and vice versa - which might be helpful for things like getting a wheelchair up a curb, or over a bump.
Lol. This was the first domain I bought back in 2001 when I was running an ultimate frisbee clothing brand in college. Those were the original designs and are there for friends / fans from college and as a nod to my first online business.

I was also the founding cohost of Summit.co

I created The Love Game (PlayTheLoveGame.com)

AnthonyDavidAdams.com has a video of me coaching the founder of Ben & Jerries, but most of my work is of course confidential.

What I find interesting is that a free offering to help someone that is feeling lonely is met with such vitriol and projection.
The usual amount of snarkiness I've come to expect from the Ruby community. What a smarmy tweet:
"Lol 20 something developers using new tools when they could just use this ancient slow dynamically typed OO language I allied myself with doing the exact same thing 10 years ago"

Ok I'll bite:

- Because it had it's milkshake drunk by nodejs which has better support for modern front end workflows and great languages like typescript built in top of it. And is faster and better supported.

- because it's slow and difficult to scale

- because it has years and years of baggage

- because I prefer elixir it golang or rust or Scala

- because it's not a perfect fit for every project

- because I do not like stateful object oriented languages with magic so I can trust my intern and Jr devs to write something decently maintainable
Shouldn't that have the opposite effect? No need to go to a nudist beach if all you want to do is stare at naked people.
Also,the major social media companies are rather prudish. Want to post a selfie from the beach? You better be covered up!
> As an Indian I'm not sure I endorse all this as 'anti-colonialism'. This is a bunch of government bureaucrats who want e.g. data to be stored in the country so they can access personal info more easily...

As someone who's also Indian, and also remembers Indian pre-colonial and colonial history, I'm entirely on board with taking active measures to ensure we don't repeat the past.

Yes, all governments have an incentive to spy on their citizens - just look at Australia or the US or the UK. But India has very legitimate reasons to oppose foreign control of its technological infrastructure. And unlike those other countries, India has also established a right to privacy.

Always worth a read in these discussions. Hanson has a prediction market business, Consensus Point, so there’s at least two sides to the issue: convincing specific customers to care vs the general applicability.

https://www.cato-unbound.org/2011/07/13/robin-hanson/who-car...

Hanson is not naive about the social and political barriers. This goes far beyond prediction markets, extending to all kinds of uses of forecasting and statistics in industry where political gatekeepers want to control the implications of models, rather than caring about objective truth first and mollifying it towards business concerns second.
Haven't used it for a while but there are other FOSS options, like Calligra or Gnumeric. It might make sense to start there?
FWIW, my experience is different. I spend almost no time in Rails doing anything other than implementing the business logic that is unique to my app. But I’m a go with the flow kind of a guy.

You are right. For more on the demise of the big city alt-Weekly, see the linked excerpt from a 2009 summary by Marc Cooper, who used to be an editor of the LA Weekly. This was also taken over by Mike Lacey, and as Cooper recounts, they tried to cost-cut their way to profitability.

So, first off, this is something you can easily look up. No, it's not banned.

Second off, I think banning a card for non-gameplay reasons sets a pretty bad precedent.

Third off -- banning it wouldn't accomplish anything except bringing more attention to the card. This isn't a card that sees tournament play. This is an old card so it's only legal in Legacy and Vintage, the formats that allow basically every card ever printed -- that's what it's competing against. It does not remotely meet the bar to show up in Legacy or Vintage tournaments. Banning it would not reduce its tournament appearances because it doesn't have any. It'd just draw attention to it because it'd have to, y'know, show up on banned lists. Better to just apologize and otherwise let it die in obscurity.
That must be why I have 3 dofferent browsers installed in case a website doesn't work on one of them.
Is it unique? Seems a lot like the zaibatsus of prewar Japan (which became today's kairetsus), hence their concern.
andrej karpathy is kinda pretty freaking legit but I think the waymo team is probably stronger/larger and has significantly more engineering maturity.

This really shouldn't be surprising.

Commentators seem to still be missing a core tenet of Mastodon: decentralization. The different instances are not some homogenous community. Each instance forms its own community with its own style of moderation and its own rules. It's absurd to comment on "Mastodon's" moderation policies or style because Mastodon itself doesn't have any. Kinda like there's no single defining set of rules for every "club" in real world.

So if you join an instance where moderators are willing to kick you out to entertain frivolous reports of misconduct, the failing is a deeper social one, and those are notoriously hard to fix technically.

So sure, if Gargron comes up with a feature that mitigates trolls' ability to bully someone they don't like off the platform, that's wonderful, but I don't think that would necessarily be in the scope of the program. You can go start your no-wheatons.club -instance with blackjack and hookers and moderate it however you like, but to me that makes you a petty person and a bad mod who can't bear the responsibility of running a social media platform.
I think there's a version of elinks (or one of the other text based browsers) that can display images if you are running on a framebuffer console
Simmons is a great athlete, but not being able to shoot jumpers is more of a physical limitation than a mental one, so he still serves as a good counterexample to the argument that NBA success is primarily mental in nature.
Seems like the kinds of people who'd make/watch a video rather than read/write about the topic are not likely to be able to answer "yes".

Org-mode. Since it's a plaintext format it's easily searchable, and it's the most feature complete and ergonomic piece of software I've ever used for task tracking and knowledge management (including MediaWiki, TiddlyWiki, Google Docs, Evernote, plain txts, and more).

One major pain point: no totally seamless mobile sync that I'm aware of. I just write things down in Google Keep and transcribe them when I'm on my laptop next.
It’s a start. I wish the CCPA took a few stronger stances to match GDPR for end users, and consistency in compliance would be nice.
Japan's problem is multi-faceted. What the facets are and which one had more impact, I don't know. From the top of my head: Low pop growth, high savings-low domestic consumerism (low investment), reliance on exports, reliance on economic intermediaries (friction), relatively closed markets (reducing competitiveness), recent-graduate hiring system, private-public industry ties (misallocation), gender bias in labor (low labor part by one gender), political system which does not foster long-term strategies from gov't., etc.

I use OneNote currently. Dump (almost) everything in there. The UX leaves something to be desired - Evernote is so much better. Shame that Evernote kept losing my data.

I still use Together 2.6.8[0] for collecting and organizing just about everything. Multiple libraries, built-in previewing, editing, and Spotlight search, no proprietary database (uses Finder under the hood), etc.

There were some changes in version 3 and the subsequent rebranded Keep It[1] which kept me from upgrading, but it might fit your needs.

How about trains of vehicles that are automatically driven, can spit apart and only pieces with people in that that want to stop, stop, and the rest of the train just keeps moving? You could even let people pay extra to have a train car just to themselves and their friends. It would never have to stop for other people and go directly to where the group of people wanted to go. These train cars could even be designed to run on public streets and you could take it from the train tracks onto the road system. People could maybe, if they thought it was worth it, even own their individual train cars. They might like to carry around lots of stuff or pick up some furniture or a pile of groceries. Who knows. With such flexible train cars, most people might like using the train.
That's right. For a fully connected layer the matrix is of dimension (batch size) x (number of neurons in layer k) which gets multiplied by a matrix of dimension (number of neurons in layer k) x (number of neurons in layer k+1). People do this because going through the network with a batch is more efficient than going through the network separately for each element in the batch, mainly because multiplying two matrices is more efficient than doing n matrix-vector products. The batch size is limited because you get diminishing speedup out of increasing your batch size. Stochastic gradient descent also gets less improvement out of each data point per pass through the data set as you increase the batch size, so you need more passes. If you take the whole data set to be your batch size then you get ordinary gradient descent, which needs a lot more passes through the data set than stochastic gradient descent.
I really think what we need for this is a new sort of file manager, and it should look more like iTunes or Kodi than Thunar or Dolphin.

I always enjoy reading this post about tag-based file organization, which feels like it would be a great foundation for this: https://www.nayuki.io/page/designing-better-file-organizatio...
I try whenever possible to push as much personal knowledge into Wikipedia and Stackoverflow, and then use bookmarks to keep track of that info in my browser. This ensures that others can take advantage of that info, forever.

EDIT: I'm still trying to find a good machine readable way to represent the metadata for all that information. Alas, there are only so many hours in a day. Will probably end up with tags and Pinboard.
I know I have put extra RAM in laptops and once brought a new battery. You are correct in that you are limited to the chipset that came with them, but HDD->SSD is not a trivial upgrade.
> It is the fact that I felt that this is derived from the way Tesla designed the car, it is intuitive just like when the first Iphone introduced.

I beg to differ. The iPhone was intuitive in that all the (built-in) apps were nicely laid out so you could easily interact with them while you are looking at the phone and giving it most of your attention. Kind of like a Tesla is nicely laid out so that you can mostly easily figure out how to, say, adjust the ventilation while looking at the big display and giving it a decent amount of attention.

This is far better than the car I grew up with that made you press the totally unintuitive recirculate button when you wanted recirculation.

</sarcasm>

To Tesla’s credit, their on/off/drive/reverse control is vastly superior to anyone else’s. Heck, several brands still screw up their “off” button badly enough that it kills people by CO poisoning.
I think it's all looks. Even OKC has changed their system recently to be more like Tinder. The first impression is never the profile, but the photo. Pretty much everything else is weighted against that in most peoples' minds (either consciously or unconsciously).
I can’t speak to 9 but I have to work on a site that requires Java applets (yeah) and the only browser left is IE 11. So until that changes it gets supported.
A lot of people have made the point that the vast majority of its value is for people who want to commit crimes, which is exactly the use case you described.
Curiosity, awe, love. My job however I see as hindering in most of that (Project/Product Management non-bullshit¹ job offers welcome).

I love to learn, I like science, to analyze and to attempt to shape our information environment. This act of discovery is also great on a personal level, but that was a stronger factor when I was younger. Well and I love people (though I have sympathy for many, that doesn't mean I'm not selective on whom to spend my time with). Some hedonistic sprinkles on top are also welcome (music, travel, good food, a beer).

If I could I would divide my time between exactly those things: 1/3 learning, 1/3 building, 1/3 people and all at a nice place with good food.

Personally I use vimwiki. It stores everything in plaintext files that I can search, keep track of in git, and also comes with quite a few useful features for building articles.

The main downside, as someone else has mentioned here with org-mode, is the lack of a good mobile editor. This is something I’ve wanted to find time to fix for years but still haven’t had a chance.

I did enjoy Titanfall 2's single player campaign. The cinematics were quite amazing, almost as good as the cinematic feel of Mass Effect 3.

The trouble with it was that it was waaay too short. There are only 9 single player levels. I realize the game is geared towards multiplayer, but I honestly couldn't even get into multiplayer. Everyone was so good it made multiplayer insanely difficult. You pretty much have to be able to beat the game on hard to even begin in the multiplayer space, or grind a shit ton to get powerups.

Probably fashion more than anything else. Feels like it's trying for the 'flat' design aesthetic that's become the norm online nowadays.

And I suspect that design was made to appeal to more 'casual' users, with the assumption being that a more minimalistic look would be more appealing/popular/usable for them.

But it's not really working. Based on people I've spoken to, many seem to despise the new design and almost everyone I've asked wanted to switch back to the classic version. That's not about techies either, it's more casual and often older users that seem annoyed by the new design too.
Ha ha, probably so. It wasn’t research, I was just testing some equipment and figured I try it. It probably works best starting at 1/2 wavelength resonance of the brain, then maybe higher modes where a certain region may be stimulated. Just a hunch.
No one avoids Ruby/Rails because it's old, we avoid it because it locks you in to conventions that most other modern languages / frameworks considered bad practice, like magic, metaprogramming, one process per request, locked in to OO, the concept of "controllers," separating templates from view logic, and doing everything at runtime.
DEVONthink - great for all things bookmarks, data, searchable PDFs etc - can also use it for org-mode files and open in your fav editor. Many sync options. Mobile too.
It is a tough spot to be in. I think you are quick to identify the skills gap. It might be worth raising this issue with management and see if they can hire a senior dev. If not then I'd say clarify your skill set to management and say you might need some time to do reading and get your skills up to scratch. If no cooperation from management then screw it, go with flow and give it your best shot.

Unexpected in the sense of unwanted? Yes.

Unexpected in the sense of “oh my puppy chewed up the table leg”? No, this is pretty much expected behavior from npm.

Unfortunately Yarn has a bug in it that I don’t know how to fix. There’s a lot of stuff going on in both code bases and I can’t help but feel like they’ve exceeded their intrinsic complexity via coupling, and that’s why people are struggling to get them to behave correctly.

I wonder if splitting this job up into separate tasks and working on them separately would net some sanity.

One bidding system for a certain State Procurement Department uses Flash. It's horrendous.

I guess we can include Internet Explorer in there too.
The amount of work/effort put in will have translated to something that's more easily quantifiable/measurable like growth (what kind differs from company to company), improvement in product or even the team.

They never made it online in a meaningful way. Not once have I had a must read link to their website. There are news websites that even if you hate the paper will lure you back due to content, for instance the New York Times will get stories on here, one will visit even if one hates the bloated paywall. But the Village Voice? It never made it onto most people's surfing radar.
