It’s not. But the FCC isn’t capable of doing its job, and prosecutors are very cautious about using the evidence.
Notebooks for me were something I found after iPython Qt console, when I was getting frustrated at how hard it was to replay a set of scripts to get back to my state.

I always view them as an execute in order abstraction. I suspect what we really need to improve them is a subset of python which only deals in immutable data structures somehow - and then let notebooks branch off that immutable state but still be "execute forward" only.

There is lot of equations and geometry that are hiding under the hood along with some clever programming. Personally one of my personal favorites is Fractal art which involves lot of recursive programming.

What exactly has Mozilla done for my privacy? The effects of Mozilla on my privacy have only been detrimental, given that I use Firefox and they have screwed me over a few times already.
I know this is sort of the commonly held belief, but I disagree. The problem is that the things you mention are primarily things that makes Linux useful for people who are already using it. For everyone else they would just use Windows if that is what they need.

That said most businesses don't care about those things either. They will happily use some old version of Internet Explore (in some weird mode no less) and force as many as possible to use Office 365. On top of that a lot of companies have all sort of esoteric solutions for machines sharing, authentication and storage.

There have been plenty of efforts to "streamline" Linux for different platforms, with different applications and modern user interface. There just that most things, including the ecosystem, beyond that are lacking.
Someone else in the comments made a good point about capturing the common words patients tell providers and being able to parse that. If you could transform what a patient is telling you from their words into a concise set of standardized symptoms, then you have essentially done what any other provider does when they obtain a focused history. That could allow a model to prompt the specific questions needed, or request the provider to look for pertinent physical exam findings.

On the other hand (maybe easier?), I think we could also improve the use of some of our less costly and non-harmful techniques, such as ultrasound, to improve our screening.

What does Ruby's standard library have that makes it superior to Python's?
I'm hoping to add some rough OCR to allow searching in the future. In the meantime, if you turn off pressure sensitivity (Pen menu -> Custom Pen), you'll get raw strokes in the SVG instead of filled paths.
My experience with notebooks matches the one presented here. For me the most disappointing thing is that notebooks are JSON, and not just marked up .pys. The cons of this decision outweighs the pros for me.

One thing though--one of the best books I've read, Trefethen's ATAP, was written as a collection of .m files, which when run would produce a pdf of each chapter. The .m files were filled with small formatting details that were simply omitted from the generated book. The slides suggest something equivalent is not possible with notebooks. That's unfortunate.
I could see a SERP neutrality act in the near future, like net neutrality I expect it would be proposed but not passed.

EFF headlines (like any other pressure group) are usually like that.

From a legal perspective, not certified means the feature doesn’t exist. So it is technically an accurate statement.

Data science career advice to my younger self
The article is good but it completely ignores the rise of Python, which is the main thing challenging Ruby in 2018.

Elixir doesn't really compete with Ruby. It may be technically superior, but will never supplant Ruby because it's just not very accessible, and the timing was bad. So it attracts different sorts of people. Same with Clojure, although they really, really tried.

Javascript is the opposite; it gained and held the popularity advantage early on, but is inferior to Ruby technically in painfully obvious ways.

Python is very close to Ruby technically, syntactically, and philosophically.

When I started to learn Rails, the intro was a Twitter-like messaging app. Somebody that knows what they are doing could turn that out in an hour.

I suppose the same can be said for DuckDuckGo. Not sure if there is an easy solution.
There is probably something wrong in the way medicine is being taught. Unlike physics, medicine might be still a largely empirical occupation, devoid of rigorous experimentation and evidence based science.

It is slowly changing. For many years, the cause of peptic ulcers was thought to be stress - countless doctors repeating this mantra to the patient. It took a heroic act of Barry Marshall [1] to conduct an experiment (on himself) and demonstrate that it is, indeed, false, and identify the root cause.

I wish we approached medicine more like physics and less as a closed and secretive (and lucrative) skill.

As far as my personal experience is concerned, a PhD has no bearing whatsoever on your capacity to do solid research.

That is all well and good, but I can't name a single person in my research field who has a decent publication record without a PhD (finished or in progress).

> it's hardly the first time that search neutrality has been questioned?

True, but since last year and the giant mess around FB, people are really starting to realize how deeply a site like Google can sway opinions, and without being noticed at all.

T'is a huge power that goes entirely unchecked. All we have is hollow-sounding "don't be evil", "we would never do that" type things.

The search engine needs to become decentralized.
Or assume you aren't an outlier and can do it in 0.5-3 hours.
I went ahead and tried a search site I never use (DuckDuckGo) to search "Trump News".

I got results from:

1) trump.news

2) politico

3) huffington post

4) the guardian

6) donaldtrumpnews.co

7) dailymail.co.uk

8) nbc news

9) fox news
People want to, and choose to, broadcast what they are doing and who they are doing it with. This shouldn't be news to people. Why do people have public Instagram and Twitter accounts? Some will see no appeal and are turned off by the thought of this, but for others it's their way of life. So instead of criticizing the app, maybe what you really want to do is criticize the people using the app? Lastly, clicking "private" on a post is dead simple; the company shouldn't be forced to change the default setting that differentiates them because somebody can't figure that out. Come on.
It is worth noting that often conservative and liberal Americans believe they have a point of disagreement as to whether regulations on corporations are a good or bad thing, in general. But really they do not disagree on this point. Only the minor details of what those regulations should be exactly.

> with strongly typed languages [...] it becomes more prudent to design your classes and interfaces before you start coding, because changing interfaces part way through development is a much larger undertaking

Quite the opposite. With strongly typed languages, it becomes safer to make changes, because the compiler will catch mistakes. On top of that, with mature strongly typed languages, there is tooling which takes advantage of the types to help you avoid mistakes in the first place.
> Of course, but I think that your portrayal of the regular user is not of a regular user at all.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Someone mentions a problem with the Linux Desktop and immediately the excuse is "normal user doesn't do that".
If this is true, this has the deleterious impact of making red areas redder and blue areas bluer and increasing the disagreement and conflict between red and blue. This is one of the huge problems with Facebook.

Now think again about this "doing well to their customers"
It was a couple of years ago that I wrote my dissertation using Pandoc, so things may have changed. At the time, I started out using pandoc-citeproc with my BibTeX database, but eventually I needed more control over formatting and I switched to writing \cite everywhere. Even with hundreds of references, it only took an afternoon, so I'm happy I did it the way I did. My approach with Pandoc is to use it until you have to invest LaTeX-level effort into making it do what you want. At that point, swapping in LaTeX is rarely painful. Often you can get away with editing Pandoc's generated LaTeX and pasting it back in to your source.
I don't think there is any deep critique of the way Google operates here. If the majority of the "MSM" is against Trump then, wow, look at that, there's a lot of articles that critique him. Surprise surprise. Trump is whining that some people don't like him, as usual.
Sounds like a regular computer but small and with an LTE modem. That should be the future, but, barring making cell networks a free, national utility, I don't understand how there still aren't carriers (ISPs) that map customers to a device (unless they charge a flat, global fee for general access) and possess at least some of their data.

(In general, though, SMS 2FA is a bad idea; device, not SIM-based, things like Google Authenticator are much better and render SIM hijacks toothless as far as 2FA is concerned. You're still hosed with respect to your payment method, address, carrier credentials, etc. of course.)
Ah I was refering to the website because the title is also about a handwritten website.

That's also why I commented about how to create your own handwritten font that can be used for a website.
The problem with generative art is not that it isn’t considered art by everyone. The main problems are:

- It is very difficult to value. One can’t see at a glance whether it took time or skill to create. And similar to other types of art that involve mechanical reproduction, e.g. photography, generative art can be produced on demand, it’s not irreplaceable like a sculpture or painting is.

- It usually lacks a good story. Getting attention in the art world may depend more on the artist’s narrative than on the art itself, and many art consumers will similarly buy when the story is right, and avoid art they love when it has a bad or boring story. I think people legitimately and reasonably need to be able to have something interesting to say when their friends comment on the artwork in their house.

I say this as a generative artist and absolute generative art lover myself. I explored what it might take to make a living from generative art for a year, and I’ve met a lot of people who hate all things digital, as well as a lot of people who get what I do and love it. The thing is, the people who hate it or don’t get it have a point.

> Myth Two: The artist has zero control and the autonomous machine is randomly generating the designs. The computer is making the art and the human deserves no credit, as it is not really art.

This one I’ve run into a lot. People who don’t think I deserve full credit, or just don’t know how to assign or think about credit.

> Myth One: The artist has complete control and the code is always executed exactly as written. Therefore, generative art lacks the elements of chance, accident, discovery, and spontaneity that often makes art great, if not at least human and approachable.

This one I haven’t seen much of, and I’d question whether it’s a common myth. But, more importantly, I cringe at the idea that randomness leads to discovery or spontaneity or human approachableness. I would never compare randomness to surprises or creativity in traditional art, but that idea is fairly pervasive among generative art initiates. I use randomness a lot, but randomness is very boring. It’s mechanical variety without surprise, randomness rarely leads to surprise without a lot of generative creativity on the part of the artist.
That’s what the sensational headline would make you think, but the opposite is true. According to the company, the devices do, in fact, detect and let 911 calls through to the real tower. It is all other calls that are blocked.
Processing is the most popular among artists, and so it has the most artistic tools ready to just drop in and use. If you want to focus on the art-making, it's your best choice until you feel you've outgrown it. You can just jump straight into brushing and blitting and blending and whatever without having to scour GitHub or craft something yourself from bare metal.

The only caveat is that if you're coming from a programming background (and it sounds like you are), it feels a little rudimentary and wonky. You might sometimes feel your style of approaching a problem straining against Processing's control flow and language constraints.
There's an emacs package for that [multiple cursors] :)

I'll entertain this line of thought.

1. Most of the trees that are cut down are coming from farms. The trees were planted with the express purpose of being harvested.

2. The transportation network for traditional building materials is built for scale. Outside of the last mile, that transportation network is far more energy-efficient than transporting materials and equipment for non-traditional buildings.

Counter-points can definitely be raised:

- Tree farms use a good deal of water and fertilizer

- The same argument can be raised against most industrial farming

- Natural environments have been destroyed to create and expand tree farms

We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Traditional building materials end up being better for the environment than concrete and many non-traditional materials.

What C++ web server library/framework do you use? Or did you roll your own? For the database, are you using SQLite or something else?
Are you certain the managers know about this and push back or have you heard this second hand? I ask because I am the founder of a saas application (see my profile for details) and one of the major concerns before buying from prospective and current customers relates to security. A lot of time is spent making sure the application is developed with the best security practices in mind. We take it very seriously. Here's the kicker: the app is only used to store test/fake data, we do not handle any production data or any of their customers' real data. Even so security is a major concern. The fact that your application is handling customer's real sensitive data, including financial data and communicating with financial entities makes me think your management should be making security a top priority, otherwise how would their customers have any faith in them? I would bet the management cares, and if they don't then there are serious problems with the company and you may want to consider leaving.
It does one better according to the company. It detects the 911 call and lets it through to the real tower. The headline is very sensational. Read Mr. Wyden’s statement in the article for the non-sensationalized version.
I don't think this is a reasonable scenario for the vast majority of people, even if you know someone who can SSH to your desktop for updates.
I don't see anything clear about it being a browser. If you want to ask silly questions like this, expect silly responses. There is a zillion ways to answer this question, I imagine the idea here is just to see a persons thought process, and not being 100% accurate.
I think the fact that this question is even being asked says a lot.
I find sequelize really cumbersome and syntactically ugly. I would recommend typeorm or maybe loopback (haven't tried loopback though)
IRC channels and mailing list are excellent for informal questioning about a project. You can search for guidance, see if a feature would be well received, and receive a green light before starting to implement something.

Other day I thought about contributing to Yarn, the Javascript package manager, but the only way that I found to communicate with the developers were issues in GitHub. Since I didn't know if the feature I wanted would be well received, I just quit.
Missouri becomes first state in U.S. to regulate use of the word 'meat'
Let's break this down as an external party that uses neither products:

> "That is not an opinion based on any marketing material - 389DS is an unreliable dog"

The press statement you linked to reads as an advertisement. You posit a statement as fact without any information to back it up. Why is it so unreliable?

> "and even today it's still built on top of an Oracle-owned database engine."

Whether the product is built on an Oracle-owned database engine or not, is not a reflection of the stability of a product. It's clear that you mention this as a negative to reinforce your position, but while technically correct, looking through the history of the product, it was developed by Sun and acquired by Red Hat in 2005, years before Sun was acquired by Oracle.

> "There is no need to attack Symas"

@amyjess's comment simply declared your linked article as biased, which it clearly is. This is not an attack.

> "Meanwhile everyone is free to share links to counterpoints in support of 389DS, assuming you can find any."

Why do we have to assume the product is broken and find proof that it is not? You have posited an opinion without any sources to back it up; the burden of proof lies with you.

Consolidating SQL Server Instance by Clustering and Stacking
If you are on linux, use vim or emacs or a linux-centric IDE. I prefer vim, but others like emacs/etc. But one reason why I will never use VSCode on linux is because they collect data ( or reserve the right to ).

If you are on windows, use VSCode for the light stuff (though I prefer other editors ) and Visual Studio for serious coding. I know Visual Studio is "heavy", but if you are going to do windows programming, you should have the hardware to support their IDE.

All this evangelism by VSCode and the other side really doesn't contribute much. The key is to stick to a tool and develop some expertise.
I might be biased here, but I come from a long time windows OS background. I started recently using macOS as well. If I used linux as my primary OS, I probably would use VIM/emacs much more.

Editor is the most important tool, I agree with you. I still use VIM when working with servers, but that's about it.

I mostly do frontend development so I don't see a huge amount of value investing in emacs. My perspectives might change down the road, when I start working on backend infrastructure.

I still think emacs has too high of a learning curve for the value you get out of it. Installing emacs on windows is not entirely straightforward either, I have to go watch a video to even install it. I write my own scripts and macros on windows all the time though.

The reason why I prefer GUI interfaces is because I can only deal with so much cognitive overhead. I still initialize most things using a CLI (e.g. cloning a git repo). However I don't only do programming, I also do UX, graphics design, and 3D CAD modelling among other things.

Emacs should have enough value to warrant the amount of cognitive overhead it cost. It does if you only program though.
I didn't use LaTex for years, is it still a hell to make tables? And also very difficult to use templates to generate good looking documents that doesn't like an academic paper?

I don't agree with this statement. Yes, both conservatives and liberals believe there is an amount of regulation that is acceptable. Conservatives typically aren't anarchists. Liberals typically aren't full-socialists.

The disagreement is the amount of regulation, and where to draw the line.

Though this is the idealized version of reality. In actuality, there are of course a host of political reasons conservatives may want more regulation in some places, and vice versa.
