I have done strength training without a coach for 6 years. My squat went up to 185kg/407lb without any injuries. You can do it, and depending on the coach, you may be better doing it alone. However, with a good coach (not easy to find) you will progress much faster. I recently started competing and found a good coach, I wish I had found him earlier.
Not really.

It's not the particular choice of words that bothers people. It's the fact that they either have to submit to the frivolous power-trippers or die on a hill they don't particularly want to, in this case defending the word 'slave'.

You're saying they should just submit, despite the fact that they realise the whole point of it all just is their submission.

In other words, submit to the bully because, otherwise, you're just as bad as him.
Very few entities have the resources that do what Facebook (or Google or Microsoft) have done, in creating an entire new language (or languages) that suit their particular needs, and in a relatively short time (hack was being used within facebook very quickly). Twitter certainly doesn't have those kinds of resources, but they do/did have the resources to migrate to a language with an existing developer community and existing tooling.
I've been using Airtable[0] as a headless CMS to good effect. I'm enjoying the flexibility of creating and modifying 'tables' using a spreadsheet interface, with the nice bonus of using relationships between tables as well.

The free tier should be more than good enough for simple sites. There's no real concern with lock-in either, since you can just export to JSON/CSV and move on.

You can do forms too. If you're using something like Netlify[1], you can write a function that receives a form request and adds that as a record to Airtable.

And if you're using Jekyll for your site, you just need a few lines of Ruby[1] that lets you pull in content from Airtable.

In the longer run, I'd prefer to use something that uses a similar spreadsheet-like interface, but something that's open source so I can self-host it. But for now, this works.

Note: No affiliation with Airtable or Netlify.

Really interesting, and what a cool niche to work in (although I also think it would be ... frustrating).

This part didn't parse for me:

The hair of what? Can "pearl diver" mean something else than a human diver, hunting for pearls? Do they really donate their hair to make brushes? Why them? What ... ?

US certainly has a cultural problem, out of all major countries out there, US has a weird position where a significant population denies evolution/climate change, and turned those topics into highly political charged issues.

Also the US education system prior to college takes an another interesting aim to cultivate students' confidence, not by equipping them with logical training, but circumventing hard subjects like math/science, which is really ironic. A very lazy excuse to insufficient investment in maintaining their domestic pool of potential STEM candidates.

While on the other hand, what China demonstrated here is, that it is totally possible for a poor country to bootstrap itself into a major science power, providing the society has strong focus on science education and an effective rewarding system to provide incentives to study science.

Plagiarism concerns aside, it is pretty successful, otherwise we won't be talking about it here, let alone compare it against US.

Maybe it's time for US to let it down its own myth about American exceptionalism, and revisit the true cause of its current lead in global research: large influx of foreign talents, first from Europe, then Soviet Russia and now China/India. US was lucky to have this constant grab of the best minds from the rest of the world, but sadly, or maybe not, I can't see this would continue.

Time to wake up.
Er, that's not what I meant. By "this issue" I meant leap days. If there are no leap days causing issues then you use the normal calculation. If you're trying to figure out stop or end times on a leap day then you use this. It'd still be used for all considerations, so being legal age in all respects would be the same for the same person. The only "problem" is it discriminates by like 1 day for different people which hopefully we can still sleep soundly with.

If you actually read the Wikipedia link you posted you would see that nicotine's effects are minor in adults. Definitely less dangerous than, for example, breathing car waste everyday by living in a city.

This of course regards only nicotine, and not all the other chemicals associated with any kind of smoking/vaping.

Regulatory complaint about massive data breach by Google and ad tech companies
7nm+ in 2019, 5nm in 2020, 3nm in 2021, 3nm+ in 2022.

That is TSMC Roadmap. Also likely to ship according to Apple A Series SoC / iPhone shipping schedule. The 2020 / 2021 scheduled are not set in stone yet depending on EUV yield. There are work on 2nm that is likely coming in 2023 or 2024. All the nm numbers are TSMC's, i.e don't compare them against Samsung or Intel.

People likes to talk about barriers, but as you see we still have 5 - 6 years of road ahead of us. And it is hard to see further ahead than this. I am pretty sure we have many ways to improve even beyond TSMC's 2nm technical barrier, but the problem is cost barrier. Who is going to paid for 3x to 5x more expensive SoC or R&D.?

I think using dynamically typed languages is a mistake today, but that it probably made more sense a few years ago. What changed:

- More developer familiarity with type systems that aren't Java and C++. Type inference.

- Better languages in general, which give more flexibility and power without writing a bunch of hard-to-type code.

- Moore's law is dead, so the poor performance of your dynamically typed language actually hurts. Not to mention how atrocious many dynamically typed languages are at threading in a multicore world.

- Projects are much more complicated, so it's even more important that things glue together well.
Using symbols from newer libgcc and libstdc++.
Actually neither of them has English as their "official" language in the EU because you only get to pick one, and they both want to promote native languages (Irish and Maltese) instead.

Now there's a funny game of chicken to see if one of them will blink and switch to requesting English in the EU: https://www.politico.eu/article/english-will-not-be-an-offic...

But as a matter of practicality, I'm sure English will continue to be used as a working language across European institutions.
PHP is still more widely deployed for small/medium websites than any other language. WordPress still powers more websites than any other single application, for example.

Facebook was always an anomaly in supporting/using PHP at that scale. PHP was never a major player in very large companies...until facebook. I think this is a return to the mean, rather than a seismic shift in a new direction.

That's not to say PHP isn't fading...it is. But, I don't think this is a huge hit to PHP.
Who cares who was first?
These numbers really depend on the compressibility of the content, compression scheme and the type of batching used. The metadata overhead is fairly minimal. LogDevice allows you to configure this on either the client, sequencer or rocksdb level.
> It's technically scripting, not programming

Nope. Dynamic types have nothing to do with scripting vs programming. What a nonsense!

Sorry I had to:).
So, I'm not talking about total use. English isn't the most popular first language even today.

I'm talking about which language is the most popular second language used in international dialogue, especially research.

And the relevant speed there is not population growth but how fast the interconnections and traditions of science change. On the one hand, you have a lot of new scientists coming online, but on the other hand, the bigger the network of scientists, the harder it is to change -- e.g. the lockin effects are bigger.

Rather, I think today a lingua franca is much more sticky than it was in the past, when you were talking about scientists from just a handful of nations communicating with each other. It was mostly just Europe and North America. Now, it's global. The best chance of another language displacing english isn't today, it was in the past. Now, even if China, India, and Japan all ban English and adopt, say, Japanese as their Lingua France, the rest of the world will continue with English and they'll be pulled back into the orbit. Also, there is much more trade today than in the past, so you have a network that is bigger and more interconnected, that has settled on a lingua franca, and that system has much more inertia.

"bin/logdeviced"

All daemons and system administration utilities belong into sbin, because bin is for end-user applications.

Historically, the "s" in sbin meant something else, but it always contained applications and scripts only root could run.

When I see these examples, it's depressing to see just how much understanding of UNIX is missing.
A common algorithm used in Spiking Neural Networks is called STDP (Stochastic Timing Dependent Plasticity). I do not know what exactly brainchip uses though. It is also possible to gradient descent your way through some SNNs although this is very inefficient. Also it is possible to directly convert many CNN architectures to equivalent spiking architectures. (i.e. Learn a CNN using gradient descent then approximate it as an SNN).

There have been tons of research and nobody seems to fully understand it.

Collectivist, most messages are intended for the whole group, with ocassionally talking to a specific person, but it's expected the message will be understood by other people who are present. There is very little "code talking" within the group.

In individualist cultures, it's expected that most messages are targeted to specific people, and there can be whole dialogues meant to be only understood by the two people. Or a message may be superficially said to one person, but is actually meant to be overheard by another person. Very often what is said isn't actually true, but it was only said as a means to an end (to make somebody do or say something) and the people involved are expected to understand that. Very litle detail and deeper information is shared, things are rarely said that are not strictly necessary to know.

How ironic that youtube might have contributed to the radicalization of the world (see recent discussion). They realized too late or valued their revenues higher than values.

Or they adopted the value of a neutral stance, which is good. At least in theory; in practice there hardly is any true neutral.

They don't have to, they can simply wait a sufficient amount of time, usually a workday before they can enact further measures such as a C&D, which usually requires atleast 3 days before it can be considered received, after which you can take it to court.

If you are on holiday at that time, the court will in almost all cases instruct the other party to wait until you return at which point you can respond to the C&D.

There's no concrete way to measure intelligence, and if there were, copying a web browser from google and calling it their own would not be a sign of intelligence to me.
As indicated above, it doesn't really fit in a single comment on HN. But, very incompletely:

Dietary changes:

Current standard medical advice is a high fat, high salt, high calorie diet. To meet those criteria, they literally encourage people to eat junk food.

I did the opposite. I got very picky about food quality, salt quality, types of fat consumed etc. My focus is on nutrition and an anti-inflammatory diet, though saying that falls far short if what's involved.

Lifestyle changes:

I gave up my car and made other changes that reduce my exposure to chemicals my body doesn't cope well with. I do a lot of walking and I currently do freelance work from home to reduce my exposure to germs and increase my control over my work environment.

Health changes:

I've gotten off all medication. I used to be on 8 or 9 prescription drugs. After getting off of them, I took OTC drugs for years. I'm now drug free.

The hole in my lung has closed. My sleep quality is vastly better. My energy, mental clarity and mood stability are all better. I am less sensitive to allergens and chemicals. I get cut less easily. I no longer have chronic low grade nose bleeds.

It seriously doesn't fit in a single comment, but there's your nutshell version.
If PHP was only useful for juggernauts like Facebook, Wikipedia, Wordpress, Magento, Tumblr, Slack, Dailymotion and Etsy, PHP would be a very obscure language. I think it's alive because it can be (and is) used by everyone.

Why would a prosecutor argue this other than to be personally evil? I assume to not bring it up would NOT set a precedent so the trail would just go on.

I see why the defense argues the opposite and how this is good, because the law must er on the defendants side.

But to fight this, to try and get a technicality over a "day" to decide if they are a child or adult shows a broken system.

The prosecutor should be "punished" in some way.

For the defense it costs them money at least, for the prosecutor it just costs the taxpayer money to be evil. There needs some sort of fix.

I don't believe that's what the poster meant, which you're replying to. xlwings is a python library used to connect to excel files and e.g. change their contents programmatically. I don't think you can use it (out of the box anyway) to display and change data 'as-a-spreadsheet' in a jupyter notebook [e.g. by showing an iframe].
According to my experience PostgreSQL is very efficient at this game (and many other ones).

"select (date '2000-02-29' + interval '18 years')" returns "2018-02-28 00:00:00", so the Court may be right.
That's another tactic often employed: to try to make it seem as if there are no facts therefore it does not matter if one side or another lies with abandon. So therefore you should not believe anything you read in the newspaper, because after all 'nothing is real'.

Truth is a matter of degree, there is no black and white, so yes, it is hard to get to an objective truth when there are more than one participants to any discussion of a real life event. Witness the variety of stories you will get about a car accident that happened 5 minutes ago with several eye witnesses. You will get as many 'truths' as there are people. But a majority of them will usually agree on the bulk of the observable facts, even if individuals can be - and have been proven to be - spectacularly wrong.

But that sort of analysis does not pertain to the kind of bullshit that the likes of Breitbart will stir in with the soup to get the ratings up and the blood boiling.

Those are calculated efforts at inflicting maximum damage and to get people to respond emotionally rather than rationally. Think 'pizzagate' rather than 'blue vs turquoise'.
Right, I guess my point is, where does the term originate, really?

Scroll to the bottom and click on "More", both your comments are visible there. When a thread has too many comments, it gets split into multiple pages.
Of course this thread is guaranteed to be an absolute shit show, but it's revealing the level of intense emotiveness shown by your post and the one before it, and most of all by the Google execs.

Were this directed at a tiny ideological fraction of the population it could be OK, but we are talking about give or take half of the voters of the USA, UK, Poland, Hungary, Austria, etc., etc.

And when Google has such a near monopoly on massive swathes of the web that is quite concerning.

These architectures are hardware implementations of simple integrate-and-fire-related architectures. You can usually implement simple plasticity algorithms like spike-timing dependent plasticity.

They don't exceed ANNs at this point, but are closer to biological neurons. Some researchers are looking into how the backpropagation of errors might be implemented in spiking networks. Example: https://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S0896-6273(13)01127-6?c...

What is most worrisome is the absolute lack of ideological diversity. Google might want to consider tackling this on their diversity policies and work groups. In the light of this video and James Damore reports I can imagine that the company is not a safe space where conservatives can freely express their points of view without feeling uncomfortable or taking the risk of being ostracized or penalized throughout their career. It would be interesting to know what led to this lack of diversity, potentially addressing some recruitment bias with conservative quotas or positive discrimination while hiring. Additionally, anonimously investigating whether a compensation gap exists between conservatives and democrats could identify whether the discrimination also happens during other stages of the employee career at Google, e.g. promotions, bonus, projects... This could be done by the company or enforced by the state itself (like what happens in the UK) and the results should ideally be publicly available.
Your understanding is correct.
