Kmart has felt like that ever since I was a little kid in the late '80s and early '90s. It's always come off like they made it trashy on purpose.
>one of the women in the article referenced a boss commenting about her breasts

This is not a problem that's unique to STEM or CS or anything like that though.

>another talked about being encouraged to drop out so a more deserving man could take her place... that's not lack of interest, that's actively discouraging those who want to be here

Again, I don't see that as a problem thats particularly tied to CS or programming or STEM or whatever. I'm not saying its not a problem but thats simply a general problem. I mean a woman could literally name any field and state those reasons and it would have the same impact, and be equally as bad, but those aren't problems specific to the field of STEM or CS or programming or whatever.

>I've been in more than one professional situation where I was made uncomfortable with how a co-worker or manager was referring to female candidates/co-workers

I've literally been in the room when my boss made weird sexual comments to a female coworker. We looked at each other wide-eyed like neither of us could believe this was really happening, and it was like something out of a training video it was so stereotypical. She thought it was weird but it didn't really phase her, she just let it pass and didn't call him out on it. I think he was just socially weird and didn't realize how his comment would be received until he saw our faces. Nobody said anything and we just carried on with our meeting. She seemed to just take it as "this happens occasionally" almost like encountering road rage on the highway, like I'm not going to give up driving because some people are annoying. I think she took this type of attitude.

These things happen and the level of behavior control/policing that would be required to eliminate such occurrences would be onerous. The cure would be worse than the disease in my opinion. Particularly heinous harrasment can already be dealt with in the legal sphere. I don't want to hand wave it away but, I don't think it can be eliminated in a practical way TBH.
I see this in a different light, perhaps because of a nuance.

If I were to navigate to a sub-forum /on/ Reddit for a controversial topic it would not surprise me to see some Reddit IP involved in the theme/art; it's a recognition of the underlying platform and the context of the speech makes it feel more like the community using it is paying respect to the platform than the platform overtly supporting/endorsing that community.

When you see the logo on actual items outside of that platform the context has shifted. Now it's a holster, tee-shirt, or something else that is advertising an association between the groups; maybe without even a contextual link to where the sub-forum is.

The context changes the perception of what is being said even with the exact same work.

Gmail used to be the argument to log in to their services. Now, if you use Gmail, it’s probably better to dodge the other services, by fear of losing Gmail.
I suppose I like the readability too, but there are a number of things about the language I would rather had been done differently; I still insist that its approach to scope is worse than any choice except making everything global.
A thin atmosphere is still very different from no atmosphere. If you have access to CO2 you can break it apart to get breathable oxygen, or use it as in ingredient to make methane to fuel a return trip. If you have no atmosphere to draw on at all, then it seems like it's a lot harder to become fully self-sustaining.

There is also something to be said for sending humans to a place where humans have never been able to go before. To many people, that's an end goal in and of itself.

Dictionary definition for abuse is: "treat with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly."

I don't think Linus has ever treated anyone with cruelty or violence.

Saying to someone "shut up" or that their specific work item is garbage, is not abuse.
"a 2000 sqft house costs less than 2x to build than a 1000 sqft house, but within the same hypothetical neighborhood, will probably cost 2x or more"

That's certainly not true where I am. The lot is 75% or more of the total value. Even if the bigger house is 4x the value for 1.5x the build cost, that's still not 2x the total purchase price, and those are wildly optimistic numbers. I suspect the same is true in most high-cost neighborhoods. Building bigger nicer houses does improve the ROI somewhat, but that's like an optimization after picking the right lots in the right neighborhoods.

I don't think one signals knowledge by choice of vocabulary, but rather by what is said. If you've ever been pitched something in a field you're an expert in by an imposter, they're more than capable of talking the talk. It's the content of what is actually said where their fraud is exposed. It's not for a lack of knowledge of vernacular or even its misuse, but for lack of understanding the topic which they are discussing. By contrast if you translate e.g. Socrates to pidgin, I'm certain the wisdom would no doubt still resonate simply because of what is said and the logic behind it, regardless of how it is said.

The precision is certainly a reasonable argument, yet that may be begging the question. The reason these words are more precise than alternatives is because these words are the ones chosen to associate with whatever 'thing' we might be referencing. Blue berry is hardly precise in terms of the words used, yet you know exactly what I am referencing with those words. Had we adopted such a tradition there we might find ourselves calling them vaccinium cyanococcus in a parallel dimension, and certainly there they would likely find the notion of blueberry to be an insufficiently precise alternative.

in my experience, the python ecosystem is a mess. yes, there are lots of libraries, but that is just one part of the ecosystem. for one, everyone uses a different distribution, whether it's anaconda, python(x,y), or just the default python install. this creates a lot of fragmentation, and it's hard to come into a project and fix the mess that's been created. then there's the 2.x vs 3.x issue that is still a problem. i have been introduced to three python projects at various times in my work, and all still used python 2.7 and even python 2.6. (these were projects that i helped out on and didn't create or own.) in each case, python made it quite difficult to even understand if you had setup the environment correctly.

but yes, there are lots of libraries. i think people need to take a stance and simply pull those libraries into other languages (which many are already) or simply realize that most are just wrappers around some other language library, which can be easily done in other languages as well.
The benefit of purely functional programming is that side effects can be managed explicitly and checked by the compiler, speeding up code refactors and making them safer. Using high order functions to save a few lines of code is not the big benefit of functional programming and is more a superficial feature more akin to syntax sugar. Same with list comprehensions. This seems to be the case in many hybrid languages that borrow superficial purely functional language features.
I've been using the V2 scripts for a while now to get SCSS support without tinkering or ejecting. They just work. When I look at all the dependencies in NPM for create react app I always shudder (I think am allergic to complexity) but it 'just works'. Kudos to the team!

Asking from a point of ignorance, but are there major paradigm changes that are possible by having a "drydock" on/near the moon? Why is this seen as a major waste by critics?

- Are we largely constrained in our ship design since everything has to be structurally capable of handling launch and re-entry from earth's gravity well?

- How would our ship designs change if they were just meant to transport heavy loads and never actually re-enter a major gravity well? Similar to the Gateway hand-off mentioned in the article

- Wouldn't asteroid mining, resource harvesting be easier from a semi-permanent base that's still reasonably close to earth?

- Doesn't "Moon Base" just sound really freakin' cool?

The argument used by the author for 'abs' and 'min' can also be useful for all of the functions in the operator module:

In particular 'attrgettr' and 'itemgettr' are very useful functions to map over objects and sequences.
The problem with the comparison to Visa and Mastercard, is that settlement is never really final with those services. A transaction can be reversed even 6 months down the line, as anyone who runs a business probably knows. The cost of fraud-protection offered by these companies is the reason Bitcoin was proposed as a cheaper alternative. By making transactions final, the cost of fraud protection is put on the participants between each transaction, and not on every network user as a whole.

Bitcoin can be expensive to transact small volumes when the network is busy. This is due to a limitation in the amount of transaction data that can fit into a block, and blocks are limited to 10 minutes on average. A transaction fee however, is not measured as a percentage of the value being transferred, but is measured in the bytes occupied in a block. Since the transaction amount is just a 64-bit value, the transaction fees are the same whether you're transferring $1 or $1M. In the latter case, it will be far cheaper than existing payment processors and banking settlement systems.

This is why Bitcoin has emerged to become a settlement layer for larger value transactions, because block space is valuable (it costs money to replicate and store over hundreds of thousands of machines). People looking for a cheap payment processor for smaller value transactions are looking at solutions other than Bitcoin.

The trade-off is that to scale their own blockchains, they deprioritize decentralization (fundamental to Bitcoin), or they print own currency (undermining the idea of finite supply). Since anyone can do this, it becomes difficult to tell which are scams. As more and more blockchains exist, the value accrued in each blockchain will become less and less as it gets shared between them. The logical conclusion is that the value of tokens in this myriad of chains will converge to nothing.

On the other hand, if you could make a payment processor which does not undermine Bitcoin's decentralization or limited supply, then perhaps this would enable small, cheap transactions at a global scale. This is what the Lightning Network, among other solutions, are aiming to provide.
i am not for sure what you mean by "original name". the value of each of those function definitions are:

val test1 : x:int -> int

val test2 : x:int -> int

you call them the same way, and they have the same type. a caller has no knowledge of how they were defined because it isn't important. they're identical.
I like those documentaries because they bring my ordinary personal worries and fears back into perspective. Very inspiring.
I can't agree with this article, but I fear it may be a case of over simplified examples. For example, I generally prefer a simple lambda as a `key` to a named function I have to go find the definition of when I want to understand it and I find lambdas more readable than itemgetter at al. Ofc, pass around normal functions and use generator expressions when you can.
Fluids and Thermal is my jam! Having a faster and more accurate model would be awesome. However, most of the cutting edge CFD tends to be extremely expensive. I look forward to a low cost (computationally and financially)program for the general public. However, using CFD tends to be pretty tricky since you have to define the boundary layers pretty carefully. GIGO. Currently, when a model does not converge, it's normally because one of your boundary condition does not make sense. I wonder how these deep learning model handles this.
> I have a bunch of notes for an article pitch about how AI/ML tech could easily create resource cursed economies and governance (akin to Jeffery Sachs description), but don't want to wade into writing again yet.

Sounds like an important subject though. Any chance you can share or will post an outline of your thoughts?

For me, the most interesting problems are governance & economic development models. It's obviously broken and it's obviously being supplemented by corporations to AI, so I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
Copyright law is a little hazy for me there. There is apparently a distinction between "slavish reproductions", as one might obtain by photographically scanning the original, reconstructions, as one might get by painting a forgery with the visible part of the original as reference, and reimplementations, as one might get by returning to the same scene the original artist painted, and doing the same landscape with similar style.

Depending on the camera view, the reproduction object might only be indistinguishable from the original when restricted to certain viewing angles. Going from 2D to 3D clearly involves some creative effort. I don't think you can seriously say that a printed object can be a copy of a movie frame.

If you're that far into it, you probably need to consult a lawyer.

I maintain that making a 3D-print of an object file inspired by a prop in a movie is not protected by copyright, should never be protected by copyright, and that anyone suggesting otherwise ought to be kept far away from any business involving intellectual property protection.
Ah! Nice catch. Thanks for this. Fixed!

Nah, it would take the coordinated effort of just a few big mining pools to change the rules of Bitcoin completely.

Or another fork happens and the "primary" fork decides to have different rules.

Make your kids share a room and limit how much crap they accumulate. My brother and I grew up in an 1,100 square foot house with our parents and never felt cramped. (On the flip side, if you don't aggressively limit crap accumulation, a substantially larger home will feel small. Our house is about 2,800 square feet, and we're looking to finish the basement and add another 800 because everyone has too much crap.)

In terms of layout, big bedrooms and big bathrooms account for a lot of square footage but don't add much utility. Our main floor bathroom is the size of a small bedroom, and we got furniture in it so we could store some of our crap.

Many delivery mechanisms for explosives aren't regulated because like everything it requires a cost benefit analysis.

Can we effectively prevent bad actors from acquiring them without too much cost to everyone else? (plus how bad is it if bad actors acquire them) For some things the answer is yes : rockets, missiles etc... For others no: slingshots, skateboards, lawnmowers, scooters, remote control cars etc....

Drones are too easy to build to effectively prevent bad actors from acquiring them without a huge cost to society as a whole. Restricting all the components you'd need to prevent a terrorist from building their own drone is just too disruptive.

Less restrictive regulations like requiring licensing may be effective for other purposes, but not for preventing drone terrorism.
Good catch. Also taking recommendations for better autocorrecting keyboards :)

What I don't get is where these claims of faster development time come from. Toolkits like Qt make it way faster and easier to build UIs than trying to use HTML/CSS garbage.

Finally a thread where I can contribute!

I was part in the Finnish APPAC trial (published on JAMA/2015).

In April 2012 I was in an out of the hospital for four or five times with intensive stomach pains, but as they weren't localised in the mcburney area and my white cell counts weren't elevated, I just got sent home with painkillers.

The last time my white cell counts were slightly elevated (around 36 when under 14 is considered to be normal) and the stomach pains were worsening while jumping and the pain localising in the lower right of my stomach I was personally sure about what I had. Doctors still disagreed.

I was then told that there's an experimental trial and if I sign up for it, they'll do a CT scan (I had begged for this the previous visits). Lo and behold, the scan showed inflammation not caused by a stone.

I got ertapenem intravenously for three days and 7 days of metronidazole and levofloxacin. For about a year everything was fine, but I started to get occasional localised pains again, but they came and went and never really worsened. I think between 2013 and 2017 I've been to the hospital about 6 or 7 times because of the pains but they've always resolved by itself.

Two months ago it came back again and it was worse than the first time I got diagnosed. Spent two nights in the ER waiting for surgery. Again, ct scanned and blood levels show inflammation. I get sent home with pain killers and metronidazole and floxacin. ER nurses and surgery doctors were baffled by the case, said they've never seen an inflammated appendix been put on the non-urgent surgery waiting list.

Got told today that it's going to be removed this year, lol. After six years and asking every time to have it removed.

Approximately 80% of the appendicitis cases are not at risk of bursting anytime soon so an immediate surgery is not necessary. The rest are complicated and need urgent surgery.

I've been told that about 74% are fine after the antibiotics for the first year but a majority in the trial have ended up with it removed within a 5 year window. So, while having an appendix would be ideal and it's cheaper to throw a ct and some medicine at the patient, a surgery is still almost always needed.

In my personal experience, I have a strong gut feeling that a low carb diet might've affected how many times my appendix has shown slight signs of inflammation. Up until 2016 I was in ketosis for a four years and that was when I had issues most often (although the latest has been the worst overall). The sample size of this idea is just n=1 so take it with a grain of salt.

Oh, a sidenote, latest hospital ordeal put me in bed rest for almost a month because metronidazole did not play nicely with my ankles and I lost my job during that time so I'm also going through talks with my lawyer about a suit for unlawful termination. Fun times.

Please do ask questions if I can clarify anything or you want to hear about something specific!
