What he meant was that they (being fresh out of school) don't know what statistical work for business is. They can crunch numbers, but they don't actually know what questions they need to be answering for their employers. And their employers don't really know what's needed either, just that they need a statistician. So they end up doing number crunching on the computers, which is all fine and good, but of relatively low value. Additionally, and many who have programmed can attest to this, computers offer an emotional satisfaction when you work with them: Oh, cool, I finished this neat Travis CI integration so now my workflow is more automated. But I spent two weeks doing that and what value have I added to the business? (Not that automation is bad, but people get distracted by the side problems and not the core problem.)

Of course things have changed, you don't have to invent your own statistical packages anymore. But see some comments elsewhere in this post: People are saying that the data scientists are the ones that know process automation better than anyone else in their offices. The ones who best understand docker and continuous integration. This leads to a question: Why are they so good at that? Is it because it's solving real problems for them and letting them be more effective? Or are they like every "data scientist" in the last couple offices I worked in: They have no real work to do because no one knows what's expected of them, so they solve interesting (to them) problems rather than business problems.

I'm not trying to knock the whole field, but it's a trend we've seen play out before. Smart companies and smart people figure out that they need X. Or they discover a technique or process that works well (see devops). They do it, they create a position called Xian or X Scientist or X Analyst. Now everyone wants to be like the successful guys and start imitating, without comprehending the value or purpose of the work or process. Lots of people take on the new title, schools offer courses in the techniques they use, but with a poor emphasis (due to time or their own lack of understanding) on the business case for it.

The current trend with data scientist is no different. There's positive value when it's understood, and negative value when it's not (best worst case: just an extra body being fed but doing no harm to the business other than the cost of their salary).

> marketers come up with the copy, art, offers, banner ads, ux, reporting, email marketing and more

Most of these are done by a) outside agencies or if they're big enough b) in house design staff or c) templates
Because data science and machine learning are applied statistics, and if you don't understand how it works under the hood (and not necesarily a very deep understanding, sometimes just a broad understanding is enough) you will have trouble adjusting things, debugging edge cases, or simply not know why something works and something else doesn't.

it does, the same as how it does in clang with -O3. There's an open issue for adding guaranteed tail call semantics: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/694

it's an important issue for the project because one of the things it is tackling is the problem of unbounded stack growth. zig wants to get to a state where upper bound stack size is known at compile-time.
Theoretically yes, but then you still face other problems when the website has not been designed to be used as a desktop app. Slack's own application offers e.g. an easy way to switch between multiple teams (I have 16).
I ride my bike to work every day. It’s a 25 km journey, so with 250km a week I think I ride quite a bit. The fastest I’ve ever gone was 58,8km (ran out of hill before I got to 60) and holy cow that was scary.

I can’t imagine getting to 80, must’ve been terrifying.
Well, one could easily make the opposite argument: the life of a young person is worth more because more life is left. Presumably that's why we find it more tragic when a young person dies than an old person.

Few Questions: How likely is this to be blocked by uBlock Origin/Firefox private mode (easy-list etc). Do they have any rules what they consider to be 'ethical analytics'? How much overhead does this analytics package have on page load.

Have you considered a free tier for up to 1k page views a month for example?

How can this track conversions for A/B testing? This is one of the most common usages of analytics in my experience. Is there a way to have user based conversion tracking whilst still being GDPR compliant?
You sound an awful lot like me. The first 3.5 years was great, maybe even stretch that to the first 5 years. All downhill from there.

I'm starting to understand why everyone says the best jobs are never on public display and you should network and making a brand for yourself. Working actively on that now, will see where that brings me. Also working on my own projects. The most important point for me is to try to make it better.

It's different, certainly. I'm talking second hand about someone so I don't want to attribute too much of what are my observations as truth - but he's definitely more aware of when he's struggling and can articulate that better compared with when he was younger. He's also at a secondary school with very small class sizes that's set up to help with cases like his, which helps.

He does have other health issues that make day to day life difficult in other ways, so I don't want to say everything's rosy. Still lots of hard work for my parents to manage.

The idea is great, but price is way too high for a simple site. Many people are interested in anonymised data like pageviews and geographical distribution, for example, but these people pay 10€/year for domain and often 0 for hosting for static site generators. 12€/month is just really expensive at this level, but good luck and I’m sure for many people it’s totally fine price.

It was my third time snowboarding and the snow was compact and icy. I was going relatively fast for my control. Caught an edge and fell on my back with my head doing a whiplash. I was probably unconscious for 10 seconds or so. Lay there for another half a minute to gather myself and stood up. Checked the helmet, there was a massive crack. Checked head for bleeding. No bleeding! I walked away and went to the car to get some rest.

The helmet literally saved my life.
This look great—have bookmarked it for future projects.

I would however a little more skeptical with tools claiming to be privacy-first than I would be with GA (who I presume are not privacy-first). On that note, some quick questions:

- Any plans to open source? I've used Piwik/Matomo in the past, and while I'm not a massive fan of the code-quality of that project, it's at least auditable (and editable).

- You say you're transparent about what you collect—IPs aren't mentioned on that page[0]. Are IPs stored in full or how are they handled? I assume you log IPs?

- How do you discern unique page-views? You seem to be dogfooding and I see no cookies or localStorage keys set.

While kicking the tyres of OneNote I had an issue where it wouldn't paste all the text I copied, I think because there was a link in it.

I know in my case it's because prior to finding out about being on the spectrum and having Aspergers I just thought it was everyone else who was defective. For some people on the spectrum including me, the biggest difference was that everyone else was some kind of weirdo who knew rules without being told them. As a kid, you are told to be careful on a road and that's why you are, you are told not to have your hands on a soccer ball but you aren't told make sure to lie to people when it comes to certain conditions. In a way, it's weirder than most people figure out without being told by anyone okay don't tell people that they are fat and don't ask questions about why someone is so certain that their religion is correct.

I had to be taught that but outside of that, most people who didn't spend too much time with me then think I am smarter than average and are willing to rely on me for help with some stuff. I am proud because Asperger's is related to how one's brain is wired if I was embarrassed or considered Asperger's to be defective it would take a toll on my mental health because then I would be thinking of myself of a defective thing and defective things are usually thought of as something that should be thrown out.

I don't think the effort was wasted; you made money and hopefully had fun while doing it. The system was probably useful to the customer either directly or indirectly (by testing a hypothesis, for example).
The PLs (Procedural Languages) in PostgreSQL let you write stored procedures (i.e. functions) that can be called on their own or via a trigger (e.g. when a row is inserted or updated).

For instance, if you had a field that you wanted to be the output of some complex expression, algorithm, &c, you can write it as a function. For instance, something like Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) or geometry functions (e.g. intersection of two geometries, the union or intersection of two geometries, &c). Another example is custom aggregate functions.

This just lets you do it in Lua, if that's your thing. I think by default there is PL/pgSQL, PL/Tcl, PL/Perl , and PL/Python. There are plugins for a variety of other languages (e.g. ruby, java lua, R). I actually thought Lua became a default recently, but maybe they're still talking about it.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. I merely pointed to the undisputed popularity of psychoanalysis in much of the 20th century, and Nietzsche's undisputed influence on it, especially the conception of memory. This is orthogonal to questions of whether psychoanalysis is right or wrong. The

Guardian article adds nothing to my claims about popularity and influence.
This is ridiculous, if you want to be clued in to all the bullshit flying around then you should move into management because as a developer it will kill your productivity trying to keep up with and interpret it.
>Linguistically and culturally, the US has massive differences within it.

Culturally: Compared to a small European country--yes. Compared to the EU-- not at all.

Linguistically: 92% of the US speaks English. Within that group, dialectical differences are relatively small even compared with much smaller countries like the UK.

African American vernacular english is the only major dialect that is different enough to really impact communication, and even then, the majority of African Americans (and speakers of other smaller regional dialects) can easily understand the prestige dialect.
Being accessible to the G Suite administrator is understandable, but this is saying that anyone with an account on the school's G Suite plan could see the passwords for any other user.

This has to be something where the admins changed some default setting to change the default security on everything in G Suite, so that all other school accounts could have access to it.

Maybe someone intended to set it up so that all google sheets and docs were shared among everyone on the plan, but didn't realize the change they made applied to other things that got synced to G Suite, like Chrome sync passwords?
This is pretty much exactly what I have been looking for. I recently ditched Google Analytics and all other possible third party resources (except for YouTube which I implemented a click to play system) on my blog (consto.uk).

I just have a quick question. What subset of the javascript implementation does the tracking pixel provide? If all that is missing is screen size, I might just choose that to avoid running third party code. For performance, I combine, minify, and embed all scripts and styles into each page which lets me acheive perfect scores in the Chrome Auditor.

I love reading code at this level. 1. You get to see into the mind of the programmer and learn new techniques. 2. Boring?! 3. A good text editor makes it attractive to look at for hours :)
An Interview with the Founder of QGIS
According to this FTC site https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/chi...

You’re covered by COPPA if:

- Your website or online service is directed to children under 13 and collects personal information from them;

- Your website or online service is directed to a general audience, but you have “actual knowledge” you’re collecting personal information from a child under 13; or

- You run a third-party service like an ad network or plug-in and you’re collecting information from users of a site or service directed to children under 13.

and

Although the Rule doesn’t define the term, the FTC has said that an operator has actual knowledge of a user’s age if the site or service asks for – and receives – information from the user that allows it to determine the person’s age. For example, an operator who asks for a date of birth on a site’s registration page has actual knowledge as defined by COPPA if a user responds with a year that suggests they’re under 13. An operator also may have actual knowledge based on answers to “age identifying” questions like “What grade are you in?” or “What type of school do you go to? (a) elementary; (b) middle; (c) high school; (d) college.”

Note the "if a user responds with a year that suggests they’re under 13" part. If they don't, that would mean that there's no "actual knowledge" that the data being collected is associated with a child under 13. So "they lied to me" does appear to be a valid defense.

>I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted

"retroactively aborted" is a dark joke, if you have a sense of humor, and conveys how bad a decision Linus think is to make a system call to read each byte.

saying "should die as a baby" is a spin. To be precise is important.
Another eeason for this is to keep drivers alert. Even small "course corrections" raise awareness of a driver which is the driving force behind non-straight routes in Europe, besides geography of course.

The only rwaly straight sections on the German Autobahn are relicts from the Cold War. The plan was to use them, no joke, together with any parking lots next to them as back-up military airfields. But they are getting rare nowadays.
English is such a plastic language that it even imports diacritics from other languages! Still, vicuna is also correct in English: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vicuna

But I guess importing letters from different alphabets is the limit.

EDIT: Actually ñ is a letter in the Spanish alphabet, so in this case, English has imported a foreign letter.
I've moved away from using any kind of script embedded in my webpages for tracking and instead just use Goaccess (https://goaccess.io/) to analyze my logs. Though there are obvious caveats with this, you need to install it, configure the server logging to match it and so on. But personally the benefits outweighs the cons, it all runs on the server, you are the sole owner off all the data and this tracking doesn't require any kind of JS on the webpage.
Don't worry mate, it's $12 (USD) not €12 (Eur). ;-)

> They used to be unheard of in skiing unless you were a racer and now are probably worn by most--especially kids.

Yea this one surprised me recently. I learned to downhill ski as a kid in the 80s, and never once saw anyone with a helmet. I obviously gave it up when I moved to Florida, but now, decades later I’m living somewhere I can go skiing again and was shocked to see so many people (even adults!) wearing them. The group from work I was with was equally shocked that I wasn’t wearing one. They were also shocked that I was wearing jeans and not one of those hundreds-of-dollars skiing outfits, but whatever. I mean I guess helmets make sense but it just feels unnatural, as unnatural as bicycle helmets (which we also did not wear back in the 80s) feel to me. I’ll never get used to wearing one of them either.
A lot of data scientists are doing very light statistics, though. Many of them don't have formal degrees in stats at all. There's a huge range of ability represented by that job title, ans "statistician" doesn't capture the lower end.
On your last point, it takes a few seconds to create an Apple ID and sign up for a free developer account. Both parts together can be done in less than a minute.
At some point, the purchasing power of consumers was important in order to produce more surplus value for the capitalists, but it looks like the tendency is not that strong these days. Apart from third world countries people, in fact, can buy a lot of stuff, but the shift to financial market from products widened the gap and functions like an "isolated" market. I think an interesting point is to compare this to the digital technology that allowed for the product to be virtualized, where the classical Marxist rules of exploitation don't apply directly. Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri in their collaborative works emphasize this.

In 1957 Procter & Gamble bought Clorox Chemical Company, which at the time made only bleach. The Federal Trade Commission challenged the merger on anticompetitive grounds -- specifically, that ownership by dominant conglomerate that makes soap, detergent, and cleaners, and spends enormous amounts on advertising, would dissuade other entrants to the liquid bleach market, a chemically bland product whose marketshare nonetheless appeared to correlate with advertising -- and ordered them to divest Clorox. A prolonged court battle ensued, eventually decided by the Supreme Court in 1967 [1], which held that they indeed must divest.

The new, but still Oakland-based Clorox then embarked on a plan to be a little brother to P&G, acquiring a diverse array of marketable brands -- many cleaners, but also Hidden Valley Ranch in 1972, at the time still a hometown California phenomenon, and still a dry packet of mix to which consumers had to add buttermilk to make [2].

Clorox first reformulated the dry mix such that it could be made with milk, then in 1983 they began selling a premade, shelf-stable bottle of it [2], which was instrumental in helping it attain the popularity it has today.

Clorox has a very approachable blog entry [3] about Hidden Valley Ranch, where Curtis Stettler, a former longtime product developers for KC Masterpiece and Hidden Valley, recounts the history of the product line from pre-acquision to today, covering some wacky 90s flavors along the way, and insider comments that recount flavors surviving decades of branding renames, and frustrations with bacon bits trying to poke through the packaging.

To give a concrete example of what marketing staff "do".

When facebook & "viral" was mainstream, our marketing staff decided they wanted to make something go viral. It was an image with the word 'SALE' (90% of image area) & our company logo (10% of image area).

Company wide email: "blahblah blah..Let's make this go viral!!"

It was then that I realised job titles don't equate to talent or impact. Marketing is 90% admin and the 10% that is creative can be better handled by more creative people(frequently not in the marketing dept - engineers/designers)
