Having looked through the contents of a couple of data science moocs they often try to give intuition without math.

When trying to put it into practice, if we go the slightest distance off piste we are lost without the math. So it's a fragile form of knowledge.

If we take someone who's already strong at math from some other training and teach them more stats/ML concepts and intuition, then great. But the value add of the mooc learning is quite low in that scenario.

The best alternatives (barring a formal course) imo, are text books that have exercises like Bayesian Data Analysis by Gelman.

> It is simple and lazy to label something "backward".

Couldn't agree more. Having said that, I'm not sure the "blame the colonials" is vastly better. For at least 2 reasons:

1) One of the laws the Penal Code replaced required death by stoning as a punishment (unless you were a slave in which case you were just flogged). As poor as the law was, it wasn't really replacing an enlightened legal framework.

2) Post-colonial India didn't exactly rush to replace the law. The first attempt wasn't until 2009, and that was overturned.

The simple truth is that, even supposedly liberal, countries have made these changes disappointingly recently. Personally, I'm glad this is happening but blaming others for the slow progress is somewhat disingenuous.

This leads me to wonder: what abstractions are we missing today that will be obvious to future generations?

Assuming that at some point we will stop writing code and machines will generate programs for us instead, then we need abstractions that make this possible: a way to describe the purpose of a program that is precise enough to generate code satisfying the purpose and that can be derived from normal human communication instead of having to be explicitly coded. In other words: a way of describing why the program exists, instead of describing what it should do.

Additionally, to avoid paperclip maximizers we would need a system of ethics and values robust enough that it becomes computable. Then it can be integrated into the code-writing code in such a way as to constrain the code it generates to only choose approaches that are in line with the value system, and to refuse to implement purposes at odds with the value system. As long as our best stab at ethics largely boils down to long lists of behavioral rules written in holy books with few underlying principles we aren't ready to build truly advanced AI.

Probably some philosopher has already figured out the right model of abstract ethics, but has gone mostly undiscovered so far.
I thought we had a similar law in France until the 1980's but apparently I was at least partly mistaken:

>Although same-sex sexual activity was a capital crime that often resulted in the death penalty during the Ancien Régime, all sodomy laws were repealed in 1791 during the French Revolution. However, a lesser known indecent exposure law that often targeted homosexuals was introduced in 1960 before being repealed twenty years later.

So vive la révolution I guess.

The comment that "it won't last" was made in the context of decriminalization, the implication that something will be illegal again is hard to escape.

This is great, though it also illustrates how much farther India (and other countries) have to go in legal protection of LGBT people.

Also, a bit off-topic here, but it also reveals how stupid and hypocritical California's policy is, forbidding travel of state employees to US states that don't grant certain protections to transgender people. You can't go to Oklahoma because they don't have self-selection for bathrooms, but travel to places like India and China is just fine, for some reason.
The history of Breakout is worth knowing, Steve Wozniak built the game. It was not his concept but by doing the actual hard work of implementing the game in a reduced chipset he 'made' the game and thrashed out some of the finer points of gameplay.

Atari sought him out for this as Steve Wozniak had made a viable version of Pong by reducing the chip count. Although he did a splendid job of getting the chip count minimised for Breakout this design was not good for production so Atari did their own board design but the game played the same, as per Steve Wozniak's version:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakout_(video_game)

I wonder if the Steve Wozniak version has better gameplay than this JS in PDF hack?

Either way it is in the same spirit, the point of Breakout is more about optimising the game to available resources - 'hacking' - than playing the game.

The world is so weird. I never understood the motive behind tyrannizing other people. How is that winning at anything other than being an asshole? Why don't people just leave other people alone? Is it so much different to tyrannize a woman for being feminine, or just being attractive? Most of us are instinctively disgusted by that--or at least claim to be?

It's naive to think western liberal cultural change is a one-way street. This is the kind of thing that comes in waves.

Just look at the radical transformation of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Buganda into present-day Uganda with its sodomy laws and internet meme pastors, perhaps ironically catalysed by the west, a west that has since flipped the complete opposite direction. It's only a matter of time before the tables turn again.

LGBT is at its core a small minority interest. It's an unstable system, it all depends on what the majority population happens to be interested in in this particular century.
The headline is weird - instead of legalising, it should say "decriminalises" in my opinion. Someone made it illegal at some point. The headline now seems to indicate "we've made a new law that allows it", but that makes it like it's an exception.

> but I thought the everyday meaning of "sorting" was ordering, not categorizing

I think I've always thought of ordering as a subset of sorting, not something different, both in computing and in "real life" language use.

When sorting washed laundry I categorise by type and order by a fairly arbitrary mix of target position (undies in the top left draw, socks top right, daily t-shirts the draw below, "better" t-shirts the draw below that, then trousers, ...), hue/pattern/subject, and a few other properties. As with your cards example there are both grouping and ordering operations present in the sorting operation (in the cards example there might be two orderings: one for the suits if you want them to be in a specific order and one by the value of the cards within the suit).

Sorting numbers in a computer seem quite different: each category has at most one item and the are ordered by the same property they are categorised by, but the process is similar enough.

And sorting in computing is not always simply ordering. There are many examples where it is categorising (just by some variety of ordinal value). Some sorting algorithms explicitly categorise the input data as a divide-and-conquer process. Sometimes you don't care about the precise ordering (but it is done precisely anyway because a fuzzy sort would be no more performant).

The only examples that immediately jumps to mind where there is a definite distinction made are data management languages where there is a distinction between ordering and grouping (quite explicitly seen in SQL's "order by" and "group by" clauses), and even there I know that internally ordering/grouping/both are performed by what I would identify as a sort operation.

Sorting doesn't mean something different in computing really, people just tend to pick out a more specific definition in that context.
The really interesting joke here is from SpongeBob: Sea-weed composition = 50% Sea, 50% weed

Sharks seeming to be able to digest some celulose from seagrasses is not enough to classify them as omnivores, (cats eat grass sometimes but are still hypercarnivores) but is very strange in a fish, because fishes are notoriously bad using sugars. They use fat as main source of energy. Cats have similar problems and will be normally uninterested in sugar.

Just yesterday I saw a documentary (in German TV) about magazine ads for overprized health products with little to no actual health benefit (like a shoe insert which, literal quote, "instantly cures 100s of chronic ailments"). These ads always have testimonials from doctors, but when the journalists tried to find those doctors, they always turned out to be stock photo models.

That's marketing at its worst. But also the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of marketing.

Maybe marketing is similar to infrastructure. When it's good, it's invisible; so you only notice it when it fails.

The model city of StrongTowns is European cities and suburbs. Carmel Indiana is far from that.

Compare the densest parts of Carmel to the densest part of a suburb of similar size and distance to its city Huddinge:

Carmel: https://www.google.ch/maps/@39.9641636,-86.1445548,1732m/dat...

Huddinge: https://www.google.ch/maps/@59.2347134,17.986286,1277m/data=...

The most noticeable part is that Carmel has way more roads and parkings. This is due to its bad public transport, notice how Carmel lacks a train station. Also if you look closer you can see that Huddinge has tens of bus lines running through covering most of this area (they are shown in Google maps), I can't find a single bus line in Carmel.

Another thing you can notice is the diversity of buildings. In Huddinge you have small dots of dense housing near its public transport/shopping hubs, with lots of freestanding houses filling the gaps. In Carmel on the other hand all of the places which would be filled with free standing houses are instead taken up by parking lots. In order to find any freestanding houses in Carmel you have to get further away, far enough that it is no longer within walking distance to any public hubs forcing them to take the car, which is why there are so many parking lots and large roads instead of houses in the center...
While it's certainly true that people from Gujarat are business minded, I have observed that they are equally narrow minded, especially when it comes to selecting whom they work with and they almost always select a fellow Gujarati.

I have personal experience with this, I had a Gujarati classmate and we had plans for starting up after our college, he later went on to work for his brother in law (who you already guessed it worked in the hospitality industry), he only told me later when I asked that he was pressured by his family to work with them exclusively. You may think that this is a one off example, but it's not, nearly all people I came across had similar mindset.

Also they contributed largely to the election of Modi as a PM in India, who is also (drumroll) a Gujarati, now this may be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

After living in western countries for well over 50 years (calling themselves American, Canadian and British etc), they ooze pride about their entrepreneurial heritage; but they still vote and contribute money towards electing a man whose past screams bloody murder and that is plain hypocrisy!
What I don't understand is why the "top executive" has to be the one to attend from Google. Another source said Google offered to send "someone", just not the top level execs (e.g. Pindar; a la Zuck, Jack)

Can someone explain this to me? They're big companies, the "top executive" may not (or even likely is not) the best person to attend anyway. As much as I equally appreciate they are also the figure heads. But I guess that's kind of my point... seems more like a governmental marketing exercise in some ways to want those people only specifically.

I see what you're getting at, but in my experience at my own company, the hype around k8s didn't come from the CTOs, it came from the actual users and cluster operators. Our team adopted k8s in 2015, not because any manager told us to, but because our lead architect pushed it inside the team. Other teams started using it themselves and it became so popular that we built not one, but two Kubernetes-as-a-Service solutions in different parts of the company (in a sort of accidental grassroots situation).
That a post like this even exists saddens me.

Maybe it’s easier to accomplish this outside the Valley, but despite being a woman engineer I’ve never had to explicitly choose any of these positions.

Why not? Because I’ve always worked places where I was taken seriously and treated professionally. It is possible (and at least in NYC, not at all difficult) to find and choose workplaces and teams with high standards of workplace professionalism. Where people know better than to suggest team building in a sauna.

It also is a good idea to have an emergency fund that will allow you to say “fuck this” and walk out of any job where they lack that professionalism, but in 15-ish years I’ve yet to sign on to such an environment in the first place.

That such toxic environments seem to be so prevalent in SV is infuriating in part because it’s so clear that it doesn’t have to be that way.

Congress is getting better at questioning social media executives – The Verge
Decriminalization AFAIK is a reducement in criminal penalties while not necessarily making the act in question legal, while legalization is an outright removal of the crime status. I'm not sure whether it makes a difference that this legalization hinges on a new supreme court ruling, not legislative action.
That's not entirely accurate, because the 175 was changed quite a lot over time. Initially it was jail-for-sex, but then in the late 60s it was changed such that basically the age of consent for gays was 21 (IIRC a notable exception was that if _both_ partners were below 18 then it wasn't punishable anyway -- so only if one was younger than 18 and the other 18-21 it was punishable, which is very weird indeed). Then there was another reform which made it so that >18 having gay sex with <18 was illegal. And then, finally, with the abolishment of 175 in 94 everyone got the same age of consent.
There are books that are outrageously famous that say that gay people are bad. Many people find these books so convincing that they adopt the books' views as their own.

I think you are wrong. There are minor setbacks and reactions to liberalization of society, but ultimately the trend over the past many hundreds of years has been generally toward a more equitable and accepting society almost everywhere in the world.

Also, LGBT is definitely not a small minority interest and the more accepting society becomes, the more people realize that these issues are incredibly mainstream.

All these proposals are far too explicit and cause too much boilerplate code, someting that the Go team so far tried to avoid (or so it seems).

I‘d prefer a macro-like approach to generics where generic parameters are unconstrained like interface{} until they are used inside the function with constrained operators/function calls, which define the limitations for the parameters. Just like a macro that expands to code that only works with particular types, it will simply generate an error when the compiler detects an incompatibility between the types used by the caller and the operations inside the function. This would be powerful enough and simple to understand.
No, "decriminalize" means "reduce or eliminate the penalties/enforcement for a criminal act (but it is still against the law)" while "legalize" means "make a criminal act no longer criminal (it is no longer against the law)". Oddly enough, this means that "criminalize" is not the opposite of "decriminalize" but of "legalize".
