But you can never really know if A causes B or not. You can only create models, some that have A causing B and others than only have them correlated, and get rid of models as you find contradicting data.

What actually causes a ball to drop to the ground when I release it? We don't know. The best model (that I know of) is the bending of space time, but that isn't the real answer and may one day be overturned just as the older idea of mass attracts mass.

I guess the question is, are we sure enough of our model to be able to trust the airplane isn't going to drop to the ground like the ball does, and how do we achieve equivalent certainty in the biological sciences.

I'm not talking about scanning your passport when you hand it to the customs agent.

Why, for example, do you think they've started rejecting passport photos where you're wearing glasses, even if you otherwise wear them all of the time?

I read an article once that made a very good point re. why trying to anticipate industry needs is a fruitless effort compared with providing deep education, which mentioned how little would be gained by a focus on cobol during earlier decades, but can't find it at the moment.

If a college started offering a Java course in 2004, because that was a popular language then, in 2008, they would have been employable. Ten years later, they could still find plenty of Java jobs. The same could be said about .Net in 2004.

If it's an advanced programming course, I'd focus on weirder topics to expand the students' minds while possible. They'll presumably get all the industry language practice they need later on.

Later on when? They are coming out of college with theoretical knowledge but no practical experience competing with outsourced developers who do know the language and people who come out of a 12 week boot camp who can hit the ground running - or at least walking.
Techno was the precursor for drum and bass, dubstep and trance. Back in the day, it all existed under the rubric of 'techno.' That was the generic name for it.

And it did originate in Detroit. Kraftwerk and others were early adopters based on what was happening in detroit.

That's not how that works. You can go to bed early, but you won't fall asleep. You'll close your eyes and try to sleep, try to relax and empty your mind, yet you will not fall asleep.

Speaking as someone who suffers from the same as OP and heard this suggestions over a million times.

The worst part of this is that society sees those with sleep "disorders" as being lazy and undisciplined, even when their grades (or whatever other measurable output) are higher than their early bird counterparts.

But to be fair to your comments about "no size fits all", there is nothing stopping schools from offering two different schooling times. The school I went to offered classes from either 07:15 to 13:00 or from 13:15 to 19:00. The ratio of early/late students was about 50/50 amongst the younger and 70/30 for high schoolers.
can you elaborate? because nothing you mentioned has anything to do with education. the expected use of VR in education reminds me of the failure of nearly every other forced use of technology in education.

my mom was a teacher, and i clearly remember the required use of powerpoint to be a major detriment to her teaching. as another example, i was horrified recently during a volunteer opportunity at a local high school at the use of chromebooks in the classroom. it seemed like such a blind use that served no purpose other than to further seaparate the students and teachers from social interaction and communication.

i think something like dynamicland is the only technology that has promise to be used as an educational tool.
Not at all.

All successful mainstream languages have embraced a mix of OOP and FP.

OOP is not a synomim for Java and C++ way of programming with classes.

There are other ways of doing OOP, even all those map/filter/fold patterns were already present in Smalltalk.

I learned OOP with Turbo Pascal 5.5, followed by C++, Clipper, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Oberon, Component Pascal, and many others.

Parallel to that, also SWI Prolog, Lisp and Caml Light as introduction to other paradigms.

It helps to keep an open mind, and approach learning by thinking about paradigms in abstract and not getting too focused on language details.
How well do neural networks train with no normalization at all, compared with softmax?
It's still that way with Object Pascal (Lazarus/FreePascal and Delphi). You can do all of the things mentioned in the blog post without the compiler screwing you by trying to interpret what you're doing with the pointer arithmetic/access. You still get really good performance, so I'm not sure why the compiler developers feel the need to go this deep into optimization territory on what amounts to "one step above assembly" code. If a developer is doing pointer arithmetic, then the compiler should step back and let them perform any necessary optimizations themselves because they're already working at that level.
Yes, unless they are used for business logic where certain outcomes must be accounted for.

Other than that, they're randomly scattered around the oldest parts of various apis and mostly ignored.

If that was the extent of your drinking, I doubt that was the major factor in your improved health. I would look to the things you consumed while drinking, such as rich full-fat restaurant food in big portions, salty carb-heavy fatty snacks and second-hand smoke.

Cutting out alcohol completely is certainly not a bad thing health-wise, but I think it was much more significant that you stopped going out so much.

How to Speed Up Slow Clients
Interesting! How would one say that... he never married?
No, that is not just MySQL. Just do a little googling and you'll run across enough information on why it's bad practice in any language or database. You need to avoid converting dollar values to a floating point at every place in your stack otherwise you will introduce floating-point rounding errors.

It's not just the data type that it's stored in, if you convert it to that at any point, you lose the exact precision and introduce those errors. It can add up to some serious differences over a lot of values.

I did some analysis on my database to see if I had stored any of those numbers is floating points, what would the amount difference be in total, and what would be the absolute difference for any single account. it was awhile ago, but I believe that the absolute difference per client was around $20 or $30, but the absolute difference per account within that client was as high as $100. Obviously that's pretty damn unacceptable.

It is the law of the land since shortly after 9/11 that CBP is required to have biometric evidence that the person has exited the country. In some airports, the I94 dropbox was literally just a dropbox in the secure area, and there was nothing stopping you from leaving as many I94s as you wanted to there, or even just dropping in yours and leaving.

The fact that CBP is just now bothering to comply with the law should be more alarming.

The BFS is part of the whole stack, it is the second stage. It is unclear because of lack of technical specification from SpaceX but at the moment it seems unlikely that the BFB will fly without the BFS. So you can't look at the BFS as a separate thing as you are implying, it is a core part of the architecture. It'd be like saying that the Saturn V can haul x amount of payload in addition to its second stage.
I just read a related book, “The Shockwave Rider” from 1975, which apparently Brennan said was derived from “Future Shock”. Despite some big misses in predicting future tech, it was a very interesting exploration of the effects of rapid change on individuals and society, and of course the protagonist smart enough to ride the wave. Looking forward to watching this and reading Future Shock.

Some highlights:

- Plug in culture for skilled workers, seamlessly moving from city to city and leaving everything behind.

- A few asteroid mining companies have huge clout with government and dominate the economy. Huge benefits and protections for executives. Higher access to restricted data.

- Average joes reduced to tribalism and street fighting.

- Delphi prediction market allowing people to bet on and influence social change.

So don't write quicksort in Idris. It's not going to work very well anyways. It's not at all well-suited, and isn't really even an especially important sorting algorithm in a world where linear time sorting and constant time indexed searches are a thing.

But most of the work you'd be doing to write quicksort is writing the machinery for structurally recursive sorting, which a lot of tutorials write not because you have to, but because it's a very good exercise for learning how to write total functions that are recursive in a way DT systems can prove totality on.

Most of these tools are in the contrib library (and the book mentions this). For example the preorder interface you need:

https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev/blob/master/libs/con...
This is exactly the opposite recommendation I give.

Never handle an exception (always rethrow) unless you know that you can do something specific in that exceptional case. In most cases just rethrowing the exception is the correct thing, and many bugs come from people mishandling exceptions.

A perfect example is InterruptedException, where really bad things happen if you don’t rethrow that.

Just rethrow, it’s generally the best thing.
This isn't a technology issue. TI has a monopoly because they spent a lot of money going after the teachers. Teachers just want something that they know. They already don't get paid well and have a struggle just to get kids to learn the basic stuff. They just just want something that works and is well supported.

Here is a good article about the how TI goes after the teachers:

I'd still rather write markup in a format that looks like markup. I think this is why JSX is so popular.

This is why I prefer something like lit-html with actual markup.

Example from hdom readme:

// component w/ local state
const counter = (i = 0) => {
return () => ["button", { onclick: () => (i++) }, `clicks: ${i}`];
};

In lit-html:

const counter = (i = 0) => {
return () => html`<button @click=${() => i++}>clicks: ${i}</button>`;
}

Yeah, there some extra weight to the close tag, but it looks like HTML.

And it's only one of multiple myths in this piece. Creators don't need to be paid for their work, but to live. This is a crucial difference.

They may be additionally compensated for having created something (or contributing to the creation of something in a collective effort), but it's that stretch between conception and emergence that is most critical, and for which the market, as it stands, has no answer. And cannot have an answer.
You can use it just like a TI-84, its just that it uses Python (which programming curriculums in k-12 are increasingly using) instead of TI-Basic.
I realize money is an abstraction - what I'm saying is that the model - its mapping onto real activity is questionable to people besides hippies. Usually when a small town or community provide their own currency there is an surge of economic prosperity. Eventually central banks act as a leveler and the connection between small businesses like startups and the macroeconomy is so attenuated it might be compared to those projects in physics to reconcile small physics and big physics.

The topic is much more mysterious than you're allowing for!

For me personally, smaller file sizes and less verbosity both improve readability.
Where I worked in the past they had a rule to only hire DBAs that could manage schema changes and such without downtime. Proper planning up front can mitigate the need to take a lot of those outages.

They still took a window a year for changes where there was no alternative. That is still seems preferable to me to the kinds of ongoing problems that distributed eventually consistent databases produce. You might have better availability numbers, but if customer service has to spend money to fix mistakes caused by data errors I don't know that is better for the business.
But memory isn't a linear address space. If you're forced to treat memory as strictly linear than you're denied many optimizations.
I hated learning Java but I have to admit it teaches a lot of basics:

- strong static typing (I saw a lot of my teammates without CS background struggling with that when we moved from JS to TS)

- compilation vs runtime

- OOP

- software engineering, including using a framework, using a database, managing dependencies, unit testing

This is from 1994. My recollection is that the average American of that time would refer to any electronic music as “techno”, especially if it had a strong beat. Checking a few cultural markers (Wipeout and its soundtrack: 1995. Pi, the first movie I saw with a soundtrack full of the music I was listening to: 1998.) matches my memories.
It's not even really possible to "adopt" dependent typing today. It's only emerged from the realm of academic curiosity and only two implementations exist that are anywhere near "practical" in the context you're describing.

Both of those implementations are very honest about their shortcomings, and nearly every talk and blogpost for them mentions you can't yet use this in many industrial contexts.

It's very difficult to see this as anything but the usual distate for PL theory that constantly swirls around this community. If the author didn't intend to associate a post with that, then they've done it by accident.

I disagree completely, drum and bass came from Jungle music, and Jungle came from the 1980's ragga scene. Classic Trance came from High Energy and Italo Disco..

Typically you don't need to catch at this level of granularity. A generic UnavailableException would cover it. The reasons why a method can fail vary by implementation and you typically don't need to expose this at the API level. It shouldn't be a breaking change for a method to fail for a different reason because the implementation changed.

If you take this approach, there are two kinds of methods: those that always succeed and those that can fail. It's similar to how Go's error type works.

Java is a mess not due to the existence of checked exceptions, but because they created an unfortunate exception hierarchy and that resulted in inconsistent API design where there's no consensus about what to do.
Libraries solve that need, so if there's a way to help fund that type of initiative, especially if it already exists, we should all promote it aggressively.
VR is just a medium. Why would it not be just as capable at teaching kids to solve integrals and write essays? You may argue that it can't possibly do any better of a job than a book could, but I think it's unlikely that there is anything a book could teach you that a VR headset could not also teach you. After all, you could just digitize the book and read it in VR.

Also, it doesn't matter how good books are at teaching kids to solve integrals if 90% of them won't even give the book a chance, but can't wait to get on their headsets.

> Authors and public figures in fields as diverse as Complementary and Alternative Medicine and progressive politics (including Deepak Chopra, Rupert Sheldrake, Gary Null, John Pilger, and George Galloway) have complained of persistent negative coverage on Wikipedia despite the site’s vaunted neutrality and the promise that “Biographies of Living Persons” are held to the highest standard.

Don't bother to continue reading if you think that a "diverse" range of failings are going to be discussed; it's really just about alternative medicine hucksters and left-wing journalists and politicians.

1) I'm happy that Wikipedia doesn't cover health scams as if they were reality based, and

2) As a person on the left-wing, I understand that we are attacking the most powerful elements in modern society, and I don't have the unattainable standard for a publicly-edited encyclopedia to somehow manage to be neutral on those people who are attacking those powerful elements. All of the types of sources that encyclopedias should use will be filled with attacks against the left-wing on a constant basis.

Superficially, both classes of people seem the same (health scammers and left-wing reformers), because they face a similar challenge - attacks by the corporate mainstream media. I hold the same standard for both types of cases: that factual misstatements be promptly removed (which I think will do good things for the left, and bad things for alternative health practitioners.) I do not expect Wikipedia to remove the editorial biases of its sources. Somebody trying to find out more information about Jill Stein in an encyclopedia might actually be trying to discover the nature of the slanders directed at her, or the content of a particular slander; I'd like it to be there and well sourced.

I wrote a mail client, two actual, focussed upon the console. (Think "scriptable mutt".) Writing a mail-client is hard. Partly due to the sheer amount of bogus mails you'll get, and partly due to people having very firm beliefs about what they want.

The user-interface is the easy part. More important is to design how you're going to work - Originally I allowed something similar to google's tagging, so you could "open a folder" which contained mail from multiple Maildir collections. It was not a success.

Using a database to store your state is a cheap alternative, but risks issues getting outdated if you ever interact with the mail outside your program. You either have to force an "indexing" step - like notmuch does - or scan the filesystem tree. Neither of those approaches are great, for obvious reasons.
