This is why I believe the future of source code management will be via relational databases instead of in hierarchical file systems. Large projects are too involved for trees. The same with GUI specifications: They are too complex to manage with OOP/OOM. Plus, a GUI spec in a database is (mostly) language-neutral so that you are not tied to a GUI library written in a specific programming language. You learn one engine, and then use it for PHP, C#, Java, Python, etc.

You know, I totally forgot this was a thing. I'm sure modern phones do it. Last time I was on an airplane, couple months ago, I was messing around with airmon-ng, and I was amazed at the amount of personally identifiable information that people's WiFi drivers were just spewing into the ether.
Your first point is being worked on and there are a few upper ontologies being used. I find BFO [1] quite promising.

I believe that we actually can generalize modelling. We have dictionaries filled with definitions, given enough time and discipline, I don't see why we couldn't make them formal. It's not an engineering problem though.

I just have a Master in Physics, but here is my take:

The thing is that mathematic proofs work on different levels of "zoom", ranging from just stating "it follows trivially" to formal proofs.
And this is a normal process, that's how Mathematicians boil down long proofs to simple lines of reasoning.

I think what happens here I that the author of the original proof is arguing on a high "it's obvious" level and seems to be unwilling to go into detail.
So... Can you not just memorize the questions?
Senate can’t protect senators, staff from cyber attacks, Wyden warns
I once tried proving the very first theorem in Cannas da Silva's book of symplectic geometry in this style. Screw that.

The proof that I eventually used in my dissertation is even wordier and with less display-mode equations than the one in the book (I became very influenced by the prose in old topology books).

Most of the time, the point of proofs isn't to establish something is true, but to communicate something about the internal structure of a piece of mathematics.

The problem with Mochizuki is that he did his work isolated from the rest of the world, so the internal structure of the kind of maths he invented is opaque. Accordingly, what mathematicians are really trying to do is to examine what makes this new maths tick; the books that make this accessible to mathematicians worldwide will not be fully-verifiable proofs of a statement, but webs of separate propositions whose statements are illuminating and whose proofs are easy to understand. If they're really successful, some may even be left as an exercise to the reader.
I came here to say this. This is a case of bad design and it goes beyond database constraints.

>Learning a new layout is one of the most frustrating experiences that I’ve had so far. Muscle memory built up from touch typing on a QWERTY Layout for years meant that during the learning phase, I would constantly press the wrong key. My brain didn’t like that feeling — this is what I imagine a stroke victim must feel when relearning a basic skill.

Learning a new skill as an adult can be be like this. If you would have given up after hitting the wall on something as minor as learning Dvorak, you're going to miss out on a lot of life.
NCIX, Able Auctions, and Bowra Group Data Breach
This should be prosecuted as such instead of concealed.
It is pretty disingenuous to compare correlating political opinions to being "controlled".
I have been using Dvorak all my life - I never learned to touch-type with QWERTY - and for the most part I'd agree with this author's conclusions. While my typing speed is higher than average, it's not so much higher that I can confidently credit the use of Dvorak, and in any case I have never found that typing speed has any significant effect on programming productivity.

Contrary to this author's experience, however, I very rarely need to do any serious typing on anyone else's computer, so the fact that I become an absurdly clumsy two-finger typist in front of any machine but my own is nothing more than an occasional source of amusement for my coworkers; nor do I especially mind their reluctance to jump in on my machine and type for me. I can imagine how this would be more of an issue if you worked in a pair-programming shop, but I never have. In any case, this problem has been trivially solved for decades now, on every OS - you just enable a little built-in menu bar widget which selects the keyboard layout, and you can flip back and forth in less than a second.

It was supplanted by AI and machine learning.

Not only did these outbuzzword the Semantic Web, but as it turns out it's much easier to have a bunch of GPUs running CNNs to extract semantic info from the dirty data you have rather than attempting to cram that data into a well-specified ontology and enforcing that ontology on new incoming data.

> A camera rotating or tilting

> I'm pretty educated on what I'm talking about.

Then you should know that tilting is rotation. Unless by rotation you mean specifically around the optical axis to differentiate from pitch and yaw... in which case you should know that such rotation is uncorrectable by optical systems - though it is correctable by sensor-shift systems.

I think the point you're trying to make with "a few degrees has magnitudes more of an impact" is that rotation has more impact than shift. I agree that the rotation caused by moving the lens a few millimeters has more impact than shifting the camera a few millimeters for sufficiently distant subjects. This is why early IS systems were focused on mitigating pitch and yaw as opposed to shifts: moving lens groups to counter millimeters of rotation is within the physical capabilities of a system that can fit within a lens and it gives a lot of bang for the buck in a narrow sweet spot. Rotational movement is most prevalent in hand-held cameras while operating the camera - for example pressing the shutter button - and less so when it's just being held. This is why there was a standard trick in still photography of using bursts of continuous shooting to get clearer captures: the first frame is impacted by sudden pitch but subsequent ones are much less so. OIS does an excellent job of addressing that first frame blur.

Due to inertia, when a camera is attached to a larger object in motion (athlete, surfboard, vehicle, etc.) random rotational movement is much less pronounced while continuous shifting is. Correcting sustained directional movement - be it rotational or shift - is not something OIS systems are designed to handle. They are meant to correct random movement around a mean, essentially they provide an instant mechanical "reversion to the mean" of sorts. Correcting tens of centimeters of shift is well outside their capabilities and shifting a camera tens of centimeters during exposure will absolutely result in noticeable blur. It doesn't remotely require "the fastest possible athlete" to achieve that level of shift during a 1/30s exposure.

The point is not that EIS is better than OIS - the systems serve different purposes. The point is that OIS doesn't bring as much value to action camera use cases and it comes with the significant downside of reduced durability.
It's not so much to prove that 1+1=2; rather to set up the definitions and background entirely from scratch. If you had to define the grammar and vocabulary of English before you wrote a sonnet, your sonnets too would be exceedingly long.
Looks like the likely top prize on these is 50 GBP.

From https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-gambling-businesse...:

"What is the maximum stake/prize on an SWP?
As you don’t need a licence or permit there is no legal limit for stake or prizes.

However, it would be very difficult to manufacture a genuine SWP machine that is economically viable and offers prizes over £50 (the prize limit set by the industry trade body following discussion with us).

We would be likely to raise questions about machines with prizes above this range."

If you think JS frameworks are used only for data manipulation, you're sorely mistaken. Runtime styling has been a primary aim of JavaScript code since even before the popularization of jQuery.
If you have all the questions and answers; couldn't you just study them? It's not as fun, but probably just as effective, depending on your ability to retain useless knowledge.
Another way to think about it is to consider what needs to happen for rad(abc) to be much less than c. This can only happen if the "dropping" you mention drops a whole lot of factors. In other words, it can only happen if a, b, and c all contain mostly large powers of primes.

The prime factorization of a number is essentially "random". That makes numbers that are large powers of primes rare; it's like rolling a die and continuously getting the same face. Now if you add two numbers, the prime factorization of the sum does not appear to be related to the prime factorization of the summands, so adding two very rare numbers and getting yet another very rare number seems unlikely. And that seems to be roughly what the abc conjecture says: it is not likely that all of a, b, and c are rare.

At the very least, they probably mix up the order of the answers. On that basis, you immediately multiply the variants by 4!. I wonder if it would be faster to do that comparison or not. And this ignores any potential background animations or other non-static entities on the screen there might be.
Indeed--as Socrates is famously quoted, around 2400 years ago:

Re: "[flexible schema change is a] huge problem with SQL in general." -- I've been a proponent of the idea of "dynamic relational". You can add any column on whim to a row just by including it in an INSERT or UPDATE command, unless an explicit constraint/rule forbid it for a given table or database. You could even make tables similarly create-on-write. No DBA's needed! (within reason) Comparisons have to be done with care, though, as with any dynamic/implied typed system.

But create-on-write doesn't solve cross-table relationship flexibility problems: such as changes between 1-to-1 to 1-to-many and/or to many-to-many. If you already have data, that's usually a tricky domain problem regardless of what kind of database technology you use. It's about the semantics of your data, not machines.

More precisely (Quantum Mechanics, McIntyre):

"Postulate 5 (projection postulate): After a measurement of A that yields the result a_n, the quantum system is in a new state that is the normalized projection of the original system ket onto the ket (or kets) corresponding to the result of the measurement: ∣ψ′⟩ = P_n ∣ψ⟩ / sqrt( ⟨ψ∣ P_n ∣ψ⟩ )"

I agree that there are reasons to prefer waves to idealized point-like particles as the more fundamental description (singularities are always difficult to handle). But that's essentially unrelated to the single-world / many-worlds debate, I think.
I agree with some of these. It's really annoying that Facebook can't figure out how to hire a dozen or so talented developers to focus on the open source side of react and try to minimize the number of warts that people in the community end up having to deal with.

While React Native is open source, Facebook does not prioritize needs that are outside of its core use cases. So many frustrating aspects of RN go unfixed by FB, and issues and PRs about them get ignored by the arrogant guy who closes issues without any explanation. Not sure how he thinks he's helping anyone by doing that.
> Modern HTML is really nothing more than div tags everywhere, with a handful of span tags. We went from abusing tables to abusing the entire document.

True but there is some reaction to this. On one hand there are people like yourself that just make the document from data and javascript using lots of build tools, frameworks and ever more specialist technologies.

On the other hand there are people wanting to get back to a pure document that has next to no javascript needed, using HTML5 built-ins for forms, CSS Grid for layout, no polyfills for legacy browsers and no frameworks. This is not widely given exciting buzzwords but 'intrinsic web design' is happening.

When I watch conference presentations it seems to me that there are two groups of people, those to whom the ever more complicated appeals and those to whom the make it simple appeals.

The 'make it simple' currently does not fit with existing workflows, maybe for startups but not for most web agencies where a good decade has now been spent nesting divs in more divs and making it a big mess of un-maintainable 'write only' code, with 97% unused stylesheets that have got to the stage where nobody knows what anything does, they just add new hacks to it.

With where we are with HTML5 it should be easy to markup your document semantically, however, Google have kind of given up with that and if you want to put some semantic goodness in there then you add some JSON-LD on the end rather than put property tags in everything throughout the document. It is as if Google would prefer the document to be doubled up, once with trillions of divs for some bad CSS and then done again to be machine readable.

Regarding mobile, 'progressive web apps' is widely supported and has removed the need for custom mobile applications. This is progress.
Some fun large counterexamples to conjectures: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/514/conjectures-tha... So maybe Fermat's Last Theorem etc isn't always obviously true. But I do get your point.
This isn't about database design, per se, it's about data model design in general.

Starting a software project by thinking hard about the data model is always good advice, but even knowing this it is almost always impossible to design things perfectly up front.

You need to hit problems square on in practice, and reshape your model to deal with them. If you think otherwise, if you really think you can think through in advance all the possible unexpected permutations of how your model might not work in practice, like with this address thing, you are just kidding yourself. It never happens that way.

So, maybe the best advice is not only to start by thinking about the data model but to have a mindset of continually thinking about and changing your data model, and to build your software using languages, tools and technologies that better accomodate this.

Where high-school mathematics was analogous to learning to form letters with a pencil, undergraduate BSc mathematics is analogous to learning to form words and short sentences.

By the end of your BSc in the analogy, you can look at a sentence and recognise at least what sort of genre it might be part of, and you can write down many of the most common words as well as a number of rehearsed useful sentences.

An MSc is like reading some examples of long sentences and short paragraphs, and being shown some long paragraphs or even chapters of books (which you have no hope of understanding, but you try, and the experience is salutary). If you're lucky, you did a research project in which you perhaps rewrote a certain very specific short paragraph in your own words.

The job of a research mathematician is analogously then to read and write books.
