It should be noted that Roman history of this period is highly mythologized. Rome was sacked in 389, and it is commonly believed that most of the records from before that date were destroyed during the sack. This would make the earliest source possible come from a century after the major events, and our primary source, Livy, was using those sources three more centuries later.

Our current versions of these events are likely based on populari politician's recreation of the events, then further altered to promote the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

It depends on how companies staff their data science teams. I’m comfortable with a lead data scientist that oversees “less math” data analysts who build the models.

If you get the high level concepts of stats and linear algebra, it should be enough that someone else with a PhD can help fill the knowledge gap.

No, it doesn't. Unless you're an absolute beginner, it takes you a couple of seconds to realize that in this codebase, "ev" (or "evt" or even "e") means "event". The same goes for "remEl". If that's consistent, then it's not a big deal at all.

Having less characters makes code more readable (or rather "scannable") as well, it's just another tradeoff.

> This reminds me of Ruby's return-the-last-evaluated-thing-in-a-function semantics (which sadly Rust copied). Having to type one extra word is not such a burden that you should add cognitive overhead each time someone not intimately familiar with the language has to read your code.

I think the concept of returning by default is fundamental enough that doing so or not is mostly a matter of what you're used to. If I'd started out with Elixir or Ruby I'd probably find it strange that I have to manually return stuff from a function.

Furthermore, at this point ES6 is common enough that knowing at least some of the core additions (among them arrow functions with their implicit return) should be something any front-ender knows.
Don't think there's any connection between 5 eyes and immigration. The Five Eyes refers to intelligence cooperation between the major English-speaking nations. That arose directly out of them having been allies in WW2 and facing a common adversary (the Soviet Bloc) in the cold war. In WW2, they didn't have as deep collaboration with many other Nato powers because France was occupied and Italy and Germany were the enemy they were fighting. It was natural for this close cooperation to continue from there.
As someone who has been producing value in a data science/machine learning role for multiple years, it's disheartening to see comments that I may be blacklisted from positions due to "only" having a bachelor's degree.

Somewhat non-humbly, I was valedictorian at my high school, I triple-majored at a respectable Big 10 school, I actively use all 3 majors on a daily basis, in a foreign country, and sometimes in a language that is not my mother tongue (as an American).

I can't justify spending time and money on a master's degree (millennial wealth problems) where many courses would just be putting a formal, academic spin on ideas that I'm familiar with from a practical business-value-producing point of view.

Any advice on how I can effectively jump off the black-lists?
Your analysis is predicated on the fact that the war is being done to protect against terrorism, when in fact its a war being waged for economic gain and geopolitical influence.
In my experience, the title 'Data Scientist' has become to mean data analyst at most companies, meaning working with Excel, Tableau, and SQL. Maybe R if you're lucky.

Companies doing ML/AI will usually have a small team of Research Scientists who mostly hold PhDs, and a team of supporting ML Engineers.
>Having less characters makes code more readable (or rather "scannable") as well, it's just another tradeoff.

Only to a point, otherwise minified js would be more legible than plain source. It takes "a couple of seconds" to scan the codebase and find out what el or ev refer to, but it would take zero seconds if they were just called "event" or "element."[0] There's no gain in readability from shaving off one or two characters in that case. It just "feels" more efficient because it resembles the common style of lower level code.

[0]Assuming those aren't reserved words in javascript, I don't know.
Having anything take a couple of seconds more to read something is by definition making something less readable.

Okay so perhaps a couple of seconds doesn't matter. How many seconds does?

The UG online masters of computer science is a good option. Many people in this site speak highly of the curriculum[1]. Last time I checked the total for the entire curricula if you pass every course on the first try is around $7000. As a bachelor holder myself looking to break into some of these higher-salary and in-depth roles I’m certainly considering it. It’s even better if you have a company that will pay for it, and because it’s so cheap even the most meager offerings from companies will cover a good portion of it.

> such a number could be calculated

Compute this from the start of page load. Adjust the scale of the final output if desired.

# automatically scaled to local hardware
# in units the user actually experiences
t := "total wall-clock CPU time used (in ms)"

# yes, allocations - NOT total usage
m := "Total heap allocations (in kB/kiB)"

# magnitude of about:blank
a := typical_m_for("about:blank") *
typical_t_for("about:blank")

# score is computed similar to decibel
score := 10 * log10( (m * t) / a )

A variant of the score that excludes media data in <audio> or <video> tags should also be computed. Both versions should be presented.

Continuously update these numbers, so the user can see the impact of any background JS/etc.

Please don't assume people are stupid. If you give people real data consistently and it affects their life, they will figure out how to use it.

You only know this an isolated abstract sense. You do NOT know how much network bandwidth, CPU time, or RAM the user actually has available and wishes to use for you page. They may be using their bandwidth for other important things on another computer. Their RAM an CPU might be needed for other uses - inside or outside the browser.

Approximately nobody only uses one application at a time. Your app or webpage is almost always going to be competing for resources in an environment you do not control and can never truly understand (you do not know the user's ultimate goals, environment, or requirements/restrictions).

I find it hard to imagine it ever being that clear-cut, even with the panopticon. Besides, the Geneva convention doesn't allow you to do this, on either side; the US has simply unilaterally declared that "terrorist" is a new category of person who's neither military nor civilian, so they can be murdered at will (as if they were military) but aren't subject to the laws relating to PoWs (which would affect Guantanamo).

The "double tap" practice of murdering first responders with a second missile strike is definitely a war crime. The whole thing relies on the certainty that nobody in the US will ever be prosecuted no matter how gratuitously they murder those deemed to be "enemy".

True, but in practice messages that are deemed important are secured at higher OSI levels, and the identity of important bus participants is cryptographically checked during vehicle startup.

> The idea of attaching an internet-connected infotainment computer to the same CAN bus as the brakes is absurd. Doing so on a production car, even more so.

Which is why all vehicle architectures I'm familiar with have a bunch of CAN (and other) buses.
Maybe it used to be different, and I certainly know only a few bus architectures, but they make a honest attempt at securing the important bits at least.
