I'm of the opinion that 5-12 of these 32 classes are not relevant and just add additional debt: Anything with the word BSAI in the descriptor, and the ethics class can be gleaned from reading a single book. I'm sure I will get a lot of consternation from that statement, but it's time to eliminate the bloat from college and realize that college debt is real and weighing down an entire generation, and the truth is no matter how you spin it, most of this stuff is NOT necessary for your field. If you don't use the knowledge, your neurons will atrophy in that area.
This will be a big step up from what I have now where my Roomba immediately heads to one never-travelled corner of my apartment and does its best to get stuck there.

It also has an uncanny knack for doing stuff like getting into the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, then banging the door shut behind it and proceeding to thrash around until it dies. Or heading out a just-opened front door and trying hurtle itself off my landing.

I think my Roomba may be trying to off itself.
The article is also reporting numbers for a one-off setup that has scaling challenges, so it seems appropriate to compare against that type of number.

I appreciate the nod to smooshgate.
A cursory search ( https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22patched+zero-day%22 ) reveals many industry sources misusing it following that definition. How can a 0day ever possibly be considered "patched" if the vendor had no knowledge of what the patch is for? etc.

Games like EU4 often make me think about the role that video games have in education.

It seems as though all educational games are created with a primary goal of "education" and a secondary goal of "fun game". The result is always an unfun game. What if the ordering were reversed? Create a fun game, then try to tack on some educational elements after the fact.

Perhaps some games like this already exist. I'm sure you could make a claim that Minecraft is a fun game that also teaches resource management and spatial awareness.

The scale of WW2 manufacturing is wacky.

I find that certain musical expressions invoke the same feeling as something very real like the feeling of seeing the New York skyline for the first time or the feeling of taking off in a light aircraft for the first time, almost as if the music was pressing the same buttons.

The interesting difference is that the music buttons seem to get pressed every time I hear the same music (i.e. I never get tired of certain music) whereas visual stimuli quickly become mundane as we get used to them?
Bison's probably the best example I can think of regarding an animal, whose population recovery has hugely been driven by that purpose.

There are small select herds of wild bison in protected areas, and I imagine that would be the case even without ranching. But these bison herds are often carefully managed, as else wise the herd population would start to conflict with ranchers and farmers surrounding the protected areas. (This is the case with the Yellowstone bison herd for instance -- https://www.hcn.org/articles/the-science-behind-yellowstones... )

The bison population has grown from near extinction in the early 20th century to roughly half a million today. About 96% of these half a million bison are bred for consumption by humans. ( http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/five-things/the-great-a... )
Modern calculations are usually multiplied with several 'security factors'[0], anywhere between 1,1 and 1,5 as far as I can remember now (at least in Germany through a DIN [norm], and now Europe-wide via EN). These design factors come in at many different stages of the calculations, from materials to static load distribution (not sure if these are the correct terms in English)

You might be interested in ImageJ [0] or FIJI [1] (which is ImageJ bundled with a bunch of plugins).

It can:

1.) handle hyperspectral images

2.) handle images with 32-bit floating-point pixels

3.) handle gigantic images, streaming from disk as necessary

4.) record edits as a macro, which can be replayed on other images

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of, and a little searching didn't uncover, any capability for handling complex pixel values. This could be (poorly) implemented with 2-channel images and some user macros for specially manipulating them.

Yeah that's a better one (which I think is discussed (or a similar one) in Theorems for free!), but the wording of OP weasels itself out of that being a problem.

Can you connect the dots for me?
Some (but far from all) libertarians believe that government should not build, own, or maintain roads (including directing those things or enabling them through the exercise of compulsory powers like eminent domain), but that private parties should privately acquire land via the market, build roads, and operate them as supported by the market, either for their own direct use or by selling access to other users.
Be super careful with that line of thought: it is precisely what they will use to deflect blame from the construction, engineering, and maintenance issues. "The bridge wouldn't have failed if it weren't for that pesky diagnostic procedure that also happened to raise all sorts of problems about corrosion and structural integrity"

edit: also - not an expert but interested and somewhat informed - this is a very common structural engineering technique and should under no circumstances, ever, lead to this kind of outcome on a sound structure.
One person? Anyone else feel their spidey senses tingling?
Reading that paper, it seems it solely comprises attaching sensors (I'd imagine piezo transducers bolted firmly onto measurement points, most likely) and listening - so it's hard to see how it could have had any effect, unless they attached the sensors with a method that would damage the bridge, which seems unlikely.

* Integration with Python and Django, Flask.
* Test runner (running the failed tests etc).
* Amazing type hinting support.
* Python console.
* Support for pipenv, pip, virtualenv, etc.
* Remote Python interpreter (working on Windows, but Python is inside a VM.)
* Crazy Git support in one place (going through all the file history or selected lines history.)
* Fast indexing.
* ...

Some of the above or maybe all of them can be achieved in VSCode, but they never feel native and well integrated in there.

To me PyCharm seems to be built for these, they create, design and develop an IDE exactly for a specific audience. That's why PyCharm for Python, WebStorm for web and PHPStorm for php development.

"We support SQL on our distributed data platform" has to be the new big lie of distributed systems salespeople.

I'm not saying that computing joins, aggegates, sorts, etc can't be done in a distributed fashion, it just takes time, a lot of network reliability/reattempts, and understanding of the approximate nature of results if there are ongoing "eventually consistent" updates rolling through the cluster(s).

I suspect Rolex is a bit victim of the bullshit job culture. I know that their very expensive models are slid in the production schedule with a planning manager.

I would expect that if I paid my watch $10M, either it's been made by a very limited number of artisans on a desk away from the production line, or they just trashily stop the line at random moments to fit my watch as a sign of my importance, but certainly not have paper pushers quickly slide my watch between 2 batches of plebeian $10000 Rolexes.

What I really want to know is how did they learn the skills to do this? And more importantly, if they had that kind of access to outside information, how do they not know about the atrocities they are involved in? Or is it a catch 22 where if they don’t help then they become a victim?
Paint.net is a wonderful, wonderful application that I'm unfortunately very hesitant to recommend to friends/family because the website has a lot of malware ads with giant download buttons right next to the actual download button

Examples:

I guess the Windows Store route might be better or providing a direct link to the download, but I've actually stopped talking about paint.net because I wouldn't want someone to Google it, go to the website, and end up with malware instead.

Part of the problem with research as it stands is that the software tools have become bloated, and are doing too much at once by having to be "commercial" and profit-motivated. If the tools were being made to do one thing well within a single discipline - or even better, to fit the needs of a single experiment, it is my belief that the processor and RAM loads would drop precipitously. They could go even further down if the tool didn't need to be pretty enough to sell to non-scientists, both in terms of money and of mentality, but rather that these research tools were focused entirely on simplicity of raw data input and clarity of data output without interpretations.

Even in sciences where it shouldn't be the norm, we tend to have "dumb" people reliant on smart computers for interpretation of results, instead of smart people using dumb computers as tools to aid computation.

Frankly, even if you still believe there's reason that certain research scientists would need that kind of processing power and storage at times, that doesn't excuse the fact that the OS should not be taking up that time. An OS should exist to load user programs, allow data access by users and programs, provide a platform for peripheral connections as needed, and otherwise get out of the way with a bare minimum load.
It still should be an option under save-as.

I can do this with paint.net.

I do this all the time with Corel Painter. Any work in progress gets saved in a way that opens with the layers (corel's format). When I'm done, I can simply collapse the layers and save in a number of formats. No big deal. I understand that some formats simply don't allow the layers. That shouldn't be an issue, though. All it takes is a popup telling the user about this.
This part of the article discusses that:

> But engineers gradually recognized that the structure had so few crucial supports that if even one of them failed, an entire section could collapse.

> “There is no robustness, or the possibility of redistribution of the forces,” said Massimo Majowiecki, an architect and engineer in Bologna, northern Italy.

> That lack of redundancy, as it is now often called, “is not necessarily inconsistent with how bridges were designed in the 1960s,” said Donald Dusenberry, a structural engineer with Simpson Gumpertz & Heger in Boston.

The design was such that as long as all of the parts worked, it remained standing. But it was also such that a very small number of failures would push the remaining supports beyond their capacity to withstand the loads, leading to collapse.

The SF-OAK bridge likely had a much higher level of what this article calls "redundancy" or more generally of simply "over design" (design for loads some multiple of normal loading) such that collapse of the top deck did not push the lower deck beyond its load holding capacity. I'm surprised that "bridge design in the '60s" (as stated in the article) did not take these details into account.

When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time improvising on the piano. I had been taking classical music lessons for years, but always loved to play around on the piano, composing little pieces for myself—mostly they were pop inspired pieces, nothing complicated.

One day, some researchers worked with my school to administer a test to find out if there was a connection between standardized test scores (in our case, the ACT) and musical aptitude. Pattern matching was the way they decided to test this.

They set a tape recorder in the middle of the room and gave us a multiple choice sheet. First, they played the beginning of a melody, which stopped abruptly. Then, they played four different ways the melody could resolve. Our goal was to choose the most likely.

Sometimes, the pieces would be something classic, like Mozart or Beethoven. Other times, they were more contemporary.

I glanced around the room to see the reaction of the other students. The choices all seemed very obvious to me. Afterwards, I asked around and most people said they had to guess on most of them.

The next day, the teacher pulled me aside and told me that I had scored the highest in the school.

I never did follow up to see what the results of the research was, but to this day, I believe I wouldn't have done that well if I had not spent a lot of time listening to music and tinkering with melody lines in my free time.

> Intellij IDEs are really fast

I would strongly dispute this. I love the JetBrains IDEs and have been using IntelliJ IDEA for many years, but performance in general is definitely not one of its strong suits (though it has improved significantly over the years).

IntelliJ just feels very sluggish to me, and regularly lags and hangs on our (rather large) work codebase. Anything that causes the IDE to start indexing takes about a full minute before it is usable again. Then there's the occasional crash due to a bad plugin. And it definitely (at least for me) uses more battery on my MacBook than any other editor I've tried.

Having said all that, I try VSCode and other editors every couple months, but I always find myself coming back to IntelliJ IDEA for the reasons you mentioned. Currently, it's just a superior and "smarter" IDE, though I expect Microsoft to narrow the gap over time.
I've been pretty happy with PyCharm, having come from a java+Intellij background, but I'm open to other options.

So I'd be curious if someone can comment how VSCode compares to PyCharm wrt language aware features, such as: contextual selection, refactoring, finding usages, method/function extraction, auto-fixing, etc...?
I've been a GIMP man for about as long as I can remember (1999?), but a while back I had some reason to try Paint.Net at work, and I was seriously impressed. The GUI is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Too bad it is only available on Windows.

Doesn't really make sense to "blame" the Islamic tribes/kingdoms for the fall of the Roman Empire. Perhaps some other power would have done the same.

Hard to play historical what-ifs, but let me try. By the end of the 13th Century, almost all Crusader holdings had been taken over by the Sultan of Egypt Baibars. He used his consolidated power to defeat the Mongol horde at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, the first time a Mongol army had been defeated.

It's possible that if there had been no Islamic power at the time, either the Golden Horde or the Ilkhanate would have eventually swept the Eastern Roman Empire away. Or maybe not. Who knows?
FWIW, this is a case-control study, which has huge limitations in generalizability of conclusions. You probably learned about them in your intro to statistics course. Take this with a grain of salt.

Case control studies in themselves can't prove causation. It can, however, make shadowy insinuations that are definitely worth following up on in a more rigorous way. The first indications smoking caused lung cancer came from a case control study.

Ask HN: Is Udacity's Machine Learning Nanodegree Worth $1k?
I'm considering applying for Udacity's ML nanodegree program: https://www.udacity.com/course/machine-learning-engineer-nanodegree--nd009t

Syllabus:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/iridium-content/documents/en-US/MLND+2-Term+Syllabus.pdf

I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Udacity's ML-related courses. I see that they have a Deep Learning course and a Data Analyst course as well, which are appealing.

I've been studying these topics in my spare time, and I've been able to pick up the basics thanks to a few good books. Judging by the syllabus, would I come away with skills similar to what a working ML engineer actually uses in the field?

I'm interested in programming my own AI bots similar to OpenAI's dota 2 bot.
> bonus points for the children eyesight falacy, as studies already proved its mostly caused by reading/studing long hours in poor light.

Nothing to do with reading or studying (i.e. "eye strain"); it's purely the poor light.

Facts for fun, from what studies I've read on the subject:

Photosensitive retinal ganglion cells produce dopamine when they're struck with daylight-like light levels; this dopamine affects the flexion of the musculature around the eye, which in turn affects the shape of the eye as the eye, those muscles, and the bones of the skull all develop and grow together (the muscle under flexion "reserves" more space for itself, so less is filled with bone, and so, when relaxed, it allows the eyeball to expand.)

The human body has evolved to assume this effect, and so the eyeball develops into a "normal" shape only under the presence of this chronic photo-mediated local dopamine release. Without it, the eye develops into a more ellipsoidal shape, distorting the cornea.

---

One thing I haven't been able to glean from these studies is what light level qualifies as "daylight-like." Do the photosensitive RGCs activate only under full sunlight (~100K lux); with shaded sunlight (~10K lux); on overcast days (~1K lux)?

My own hypothesis is that the limit lies somewhere between "shade" and "overcast", since a lack of photosensitive RGC stimulation leading to a lack of SCN-mediated dopamine release to the brain generally, is a good explanation for Seasonal Affective Disorder; and—more anecdotally—the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder seem to me to line up with the common experience of living in regions of the world with persistent overcast weather (e.g. London, Seattle/Vancouver, Tokyo.) I'd love to see a study of whether those regions have higher-than-normal levels of nearsightedness in the populations that grew up there (though this effect might be totally invisible next to larger effects like differing choices in indoor/outdoor activities for children.)
I'm not sure what we disagree on really. As I mentioned, both immigration and tourism only work in balance, I haven't attempted to exclude immigration from a topic that has issues which is sort of the impression you seem to have gotten from me.

What OP did say was, if they don't want you visiting, they certainly don't want you saying. And that may be true for some, sure, but I've said it certainly isn't necessarily true. And it's precisely because for very few people in the anti-tourism movement it's driven by being anti-foreign, it's a question of balance.

That may well be true for anti-immigrant movement, as well. But there's no denying that part of this movement wouldn't accept, view or treat any degree of foreigners as welcome and equal. The same can't be said for people who are frustrated by mass tourism.

We already have protected categories defined. You can take issue with the process but it's not a new thing. And no I don't think that when powerful interests have committed eugenics campaigns and taken the vote away from certain groups of people that those groups have more political power. As for how it will go in the future, it's of course possible that it will be abused and there will have to be accountability. But so far it's looking OK and that gives me some hope. It's not like women voted to give themselves the vote, or black people overpowered white people to get schools desegregated etc.
