Not at all. They could have actually put effort into it. The problem was that they didn't maintain it. They let it languish, staying exactly the same for years, good enough that nobody wanted to compete with a free product but not actually doing anything to improve the RSS ecosystem, so pretty much nothing happened with RSS for years besides it just existing. And then they decided to just shut down Google Reader with a relatively short time frame, because they never figured out how to monetize it.

They had 3 perfectly good options:

1. Don't build Google Reader in the first place if they weren't interested in actually maintaining the damn thing.

2. Put some effort into it, keep improving Google Reader, make the whole RSS ecosystem better rather than causing it to stagnate.

3. Sunset Google Reader over a much longer period of time, like a year instead of the 3.5 months they gave. Those 3.5 months were just barely enough time for people to build replacement services.
To add to this; It's not a framework but a theme.

Looks alright tho.
You are totally right. It would be ideal to have a package called `users` which does everything related to user. But if proper care is not taken while laying out the packages and types that go inside, you might quickly run into cyclic-dependency issues (for the lack of better example: post requiring User type and User requiring post type). This does not happen in encoding/json or enconding/gob because of the fact that they are completely different domains and are simple enough. But in this project for example, they belong to the same domain and user and post entities have a relation between them.

I am not saying it's not possible to move towards the pattern you are suggesting. But since i decided to demonstrate Clean Architecture in this, i went with the current pattern which shows clear boundary between layers. In other words, what is used and what you are suggesting are just 2 patterns having their own advantages and disadvantages. It is probably not appropriate to call one or the other `non-Go way`.

But now that we have discussed this, i am interesting in trying that as well. Not sure if i should refactor or create a new project.

> every major Elixir library brings its own special macros which is a pain.

Is this actually a problem? The macros are not really overused, most library developers are sane about limiting the use of macros, and the lexical scope of any given macros is limited by the require/include semantics. "use" is pretty bizarre, but I've never had a problem with "just roll with it"
> The completely free market does not work in practice, because people are not rational, perfectly informed actors. They make non-optimal choices and tend to not learn from them, and they're easily swayed by advertising.

I mean, I agree with being being irrational, but I'm not sure that that's the reason that free markets don't work. If you're comparing to government intervention, then you're also comparing to people, after all, and even worse, to people who often make a less-informed decision, because:

1. They're not as personally aware of all the relevant info, since they are removed from the situation.

2. They often care less in general because it doesn't affect them.

3. They often make decisions that tend to stick around long after they are no longer relevant - but unlike biased humans who often don't learn from their mistakes, these actors' mistakes are written into law and can't be changed.

4. They often have different motivations than the irrational people they are supposedly helping.

(Of course, 4 is often the whole point - we as a society have different desires than individual people, and we sometimes want to enshrine those things, even at their expense.)

The only way you're doing better than individual actors is if you're assuming the people creating the laws/regulations are better informed/better educated/smarter or for some other reason can make better decisions (which obviously is sometimes true, but sometimes not).

The main places where "government" provides value, in my opinion, are where there are market failures, or where collective action gives a lot of benefit. And of course, that's assuming a lot of basics are met, like strong rule of law, police force, etc (these could themselves be thought of as collective action).

How to Install Nagios on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
1. Erlang has parse transforms, so it's not like Erlang has /nothing/ in this regard. They are painful to write, though, although that could probably be fixed by introducing a parse transform (apparently someone else thought the same, just found this: https://github.com/bucko909/uberpt). I just didn't really /need/ parse transforms. The only ones I ever used were lager and exprecs, and regarding the latter it turned out to be much easier to get the specs right by just writing modules manually.

2. Depending on the framework you use (we just use cowboy directly), Erlang HTTP pages/endpoints are pretty light on state as well, you need to pass them information or call global functions to make them stateful. Maybe I'm not getting you right here.

3. This is an issue to me as well, but I think most Elixir and Erlang developers would agree that this would really be nice to have, at least optionally. We're right now in the process of making our codebase "dialyzer-safe" but there are so many parts of it that could be checked statically. From what I got from different talks and articles on the subject, the main issues are the dynamic "dispatch" mechanisms, like throw/error/exit and general message passing that allow for arbitrarily typed data to be thrown at arbitrary other code.
But then you’re not preserving the interactive piece of work; you’re merely recording a performance of it.
Awesome work Christine! I've only ever heard you play classical music in concert. Any plans to perform bits of your AI generated music live. Perhaps with Ensemble SF?

Also, I noticed your data format has a flag for instrument type. Have you considered generating for voice? Obviously a very different beast but it seems the same principals could apply. It would be important to restrict the music to a model of what a human is capable of to make it singable. Adding physical constraints to the piano generated music might also be interesting. Fingers are so long and there are usually only ten.
It must be hard working on the border when people bring children that are not their own to fast tack their way through into the country.

What I meant by that is that CLers usually complain about hygiene as if it was impossible to break. I don't know how many times I have had to explain that syntax-rules is the high level macro facility and that all schemes provide their own lower level macro facility, be it explicit/implicit renaming (chicken), syntax-case (r6rs) or syntactic closures (Chibi?).

I understand the complaint that this isn't portable. It isn't. R6RS tried to standardise it. Hopefully r7rs does better in that regard.

While Wiley`s cybersecurity bundle with 14 books had some great books on Security Engineering and cryptography, Packt`s bundle covers a wide array of topics with their books as well as videos. Besides having coverage on key techniques and strategies being used by security professionals it offers greater depth on Penetration Testing with popular tools such as Kali Linux and Metasploit.

So if you are working in IT security domain or looking to venture into it then Packt`s bundle is a great opportunity to get your hands on some really cool titles. With books and videos on core topics associated with cybersecurity as well as leading platforms involved in pentesting and infrastructure security this bundle is a steal!

”If we really believe this is true, then a shrinking population is what we want, to "soak up" those destroyed jobs”

students rated identical teachers

Did you actually read critically the papers you cite?

[1] claims to be comparing "identical teachers" but [1]'s sole claim to courses taught by male and female instructors is "neither students’ grades nor self-study hours are affected by the instructor’s gender". Clearly those are hardly the only factors relevant to teacher quality. Moreover [1] claims to use "objective measure of the instructors’ performance", and which includes -- I kid you not -- "self-reported number of hours students spent studying for the course".

[2] is similarly vague, and claims that "the courses were identical: all lectures, assignments, and content were exactly the same in all sections" only to to state in the next sentence that the "only aspects of the course that varied between Dr. Mitchell’s and Dr. Martin’s sections were the course grader and contact with the instructor". Well, isn't "contact with the instructor" significant?

Both [1, 2] use p-values [3], which doesn't increase confidence in the results.

As an aside, neither paper discusses potential bias the authors might have, in particular their own social desirability bias [4].

“EternalSilence”: a year after NSA hacking tool leak, the aftermath continues
In my experience, the quality of NFS client implementations varies significantly between different operating systems. We made _heavy_ use of NFS for home directories and application backing stores at the University where I used to work, and it was a very good experience -- but this was on Solaris 10 (and later, OpenSolaris) machines. We had heavy NFS client use on many multi-user machines (shell servers, Sun Ray servers, etc) and didn't see reliability problems. On the odd occasion that we needed to reboot the file server for updates, clients would pause and then resume promptly after the server rebooted.

Towards the end of my tenure there, I gave a Linux desktop a try. The NFS experience was amazingly bad by comparison; lots of issues with locking, with becoming disconnected (often until a reboot) from NFS servers, odd performance issues, reliability issues with the automounter, etc.

In the last few months I have tried the NFS client on my current Linux desktop again, thinking things might have improved -- they have, I guess, but not by much. It's still pretty easy for the client to get into a hung state if there's too much packet loss, or if the file server reboots, or whatever. I have to imagine that not enough people are really using Linux NFS clients in anger to drive fixing the issues with it. There is often no escape from the Quality Death Spiral.
Go is a great language for building GraphQL servers, the https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen library helps you by build type-safe GraphQL servers and reduces the boilerplate. You can find an example here: https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/master/go/gra...

Otherwise I'd recommend TypeScript - the tooling ecosystem around GraphQL is definitely most advanced in the JS space. If you're interested, you can check out an example here: https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/master/typesc...

Initial Steps to Take to Attract the Right Investors to Your Business
I've studied this. There is an old art-form, there is extensive literature on this, there are professional organisations, there are annual conferences (the next major one being Electronic Literature Org. 2019 – ELO2019 – is in Cork[0], Ireland, where I study – please come, we'd love to have you).

This is such a great idea!

I would use this as an annotation tool in meetings, particularly architectural diagrams and other complex information-rich image artefacts. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet but loading images would greatly add to its utility in meetings.

Have you given any thought to adding image loading?
I would pick variational auto-encoders (VAEs) as the closest analogy to how the brain functions. Brain observes data and encodes it to a latent vector. When we imagine something or dreaming, brain decodes latent vector to video.

Moreover, usually our brain cannot imagine something as sharp and real as GAN's output. It's more like a blurry image from VAE's output.
It is a matter of preference. Sometimes you end up using gensym in scheme as well, especially for introducing identifiers in bulk.
I'm really curious how much effort there was in building up the data set - before, training the model before you got to "music"

Reading the steps feels like 9 months to a year before you got to credible music.

What kept you going in the belief this would work. I can think of 20 reasons why this shouldn't work - hence its "surprising" that it does. Its quite easily something you could have worked on for 5 years with no results.

reading your background - it also sounds like your time would be tightly constrained hence figuring out where to deploy it - you need to have some conviction you'll have success

I remember listening to a UK Parliamentary Committee that had invited the head of a popular grassroots anti-TTIP campaign to give evidence. There wasn't even a pretence of trying to be even-handed or gain a better understanding of popular objections to TTIP. Instead, all the MPs present took turns to berate him in an imperious manner. He was simply a prop for them to lecture at.

I suspect many of the forums Zuckerberg is invited to participate in are similarly vehicles for politicians to gain exposure by being seen as attacking a popular bogeymen. I can't really blame him for not wanting to spend his life traipsing around world capitals helping these politicians get TV coverage by acting as a rhetorical piñata.

Yeah, I envisioned this as a place to trade the remaining 20% of the project. Or at least find people who can take a dispassionate look at your project and take it to market. Too many times, the creators are too heavily invested and hesitant to take things live.

Heck, you could even buy/sell "nearly there" projects that the creator doesn't have the energy to launch, or doesn't want to launch because of other commitments. Creators make some money (and see their projects live), buyers get nearly-done ideas for cheaper than live projects.
