In the beginning of the year I compared Vue.js, Angular and SAP OpenUI5. I chose Vue.js for its simplicity, performance, documentation and underdog status. I still need to learn React.

During the summer I also took the "CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript" class on edX. It taught me about Flask and Django.

Since then I've made two apps for work:

- one is a data visualization to coordinate railway infrastructure works using Vue.js/D3.js and an API made with Flask

- the other is a standard (server-side rendered) Django app. It is a search engine for scanned PDF documents. There are also scripts to extract text from documents using OCR with ocrmypdf based on tesseract. The text is then loaded in a PostgreSQL database to make it full-text searchable. There are 30k documents and 130k pages.

Both apps are currently running on my company's internal OpenShift cluster so I also had to learn OpenShift, Docker, Kubernetes...

Since September I'm back at the university every Monday for an Executive Master in Datascience. I'm currently learning machine learning (using Python, scikit-learn, numpy/pandas, matplotlib, tensorflow etc.), graph mining and data visualization. Here is our dataviz project: https://ufo.kediss.eu based on the UFO sightings dataset on Kaggle. I'm currently studying for the exams in January.
As long as those spreadsheets/database files are accessible to someone with technical skill, people can pull in the data and use tools to make it more accessible and useful. Ideally, yes, the data is useful to begin with, but as long as it's available, there's nothing stopping individuals with the skills from making it useful.

Of course, there are exceptions: the PDFs that are often provided by the prosecution as part of the discovery process are prohibitively difficult to deal with, and should be considered a violation of Brady vs. Maryland, IMO.
TypeScript. I still have a lot to learn, but I am confident it will pay massive dividends in the long run.
Not true, the US is quite prudish and successful. The OP I'd a fine example; if Google would be French or Japanese I doubt this would be an issue.
I don't have any problem with people complaing about Monroe's argument. I am fairly certain he wrote what he did in consultation with optics engineers, and then modified it so it was intellectually comprehensible by a nerd-but-not-optical engineer audience.
> Imagine a workplace where your ... colleagues are naked.

I just imagined that - and indeed, you're right that the possibility is quite offensive to my personal taste, and even frankly disquieting. But whereas you might try to explain this as the result of "too much sexual tension", I would instead place the blame on its very opposite. (And the fact that the colleagues might be of the gender I'm occasionally attracted to does not improve things one bit.)
What's the source for that claim? I'd like to read more. I'm also interested if the statistic is true for men as well (i.e. basically all men get married).

The larger cities and suburbs of New York definitely do have distinct district boundaries that follow the municipal boundary. It's only the smaller communities that expand their draw to township boundaries.
Docker and lots of AWS
The point is that chrisseaton said they didn’t know where the city of Chester ends and I mentioned that there’s a pretty big change of admin at the edge of the city (or, in this case, the borough of Chester and West Cheshire, as we are talking about administrative borders rather than cities). Basically, if you live in Chester and don’t know where the boundary is then it’s because you’re not looking at the signs. The city border is also a national border in this case.
Does this work with JSX and TypeScript/Flow? These language extensions, when enabled, have nontrivial performance impact.

On that note, they don't say what plugins/presets were used in the Babel comparison. Was it the same set of features that are supported in swc?
Yep, I think it's more that the US and other similar countries have become less community oriented and the social fabric has weakened. As we've become less religious, many people in towns/cities have lost their primary shared social gathering point (Church/Temple/etc), and it doesn't seem like anything has really replaced that yet. Social media has to some extent, but it's a meager gruel compared to gathering in person.

Sometimes I've thought about what could replace this. Maybe some updated version of the Rotary Club/Lions Club/etc?

Re: record transfer, I recently found that there is a way to create an encrypted file from the patient’s chart that can be emailed , put on a flash drive, whatever. I’m planning to give it a try soon, but in the meantime, my clinic still uses the prehistoric method you describe.
There have been many times when I have felt I was a much better programmer 4 years ago. One advice is to understand a good, sufficiently complex open source code base. Maybe something you use daily and perhaps wanted to add a feature or fix a bug. Chromium, Sqlite, django, etc. If you have access, discussing solutions with peers also helps.
Lots of people provably want to consume mj every day.
None, this year I decided to study leadership rather than plowing thought it with brute force.
If you take honesty away, you cant improve upon yourself anymore. Then its all a race of smoke and mirrors, defeat-devices and faked statistics.

And honesty hurts. That is why, feeling hurt by words is a attack on honesty, if the information presented in those words it true. And from their, its all downhill, all competition, all the virtues of creating something are dissolved.
I really dug into APL style languages. I learned Mathematica which really opened my mind to new ways of programming. I also learned a lot about how web pages actually render. I highly recommend everyone checks out Chrome's Advanced Paint Rendering performance panel.
Okay. But give me way to pay 5 cents for this article, not 12$ all you can eat. There are 200 articles per month I am willing to pay, spread along 80 magazines. How?

I'm biased since I'm married to the author, but I highly recommend "Poached: Inside the Dark World of Wildlife Trafficking". Rachel (the author) does on the ground reporting in 12 countries interviewing poachers, traffickers, customers, conservationists, and government officials. Her description of meeting Sudan, the last male northern white rhino that died earlier this year, is haunting. There are also some other great scenes like her sneaking into a South African prison to meet a convicted trafficker. It's entertaining, informative and important:

Where I live in California, the sales tax is different between cities.

Leading up to July 4, fireworks are not legal to sell in every city, so you can tell city boundaries by where the booths selling them are set up. Which city you're in is also important if you want to set them off legally.

Local laws and regulations also have much subtler effects that help shape which cities are desirable to live in, but those aren't going to be as obvious if you're just passing through.
I think it's clear that the US political system isn't exactly serving the people. Personally, I'd wish for recall elections or 'votes of confidence' for the presidency ... say, to replace the 'State of the Union' mirror.
> and easy to avoid by not using it

Judging from this thread and all of the guesses re: the mystery industry that uses glitter perhaps that's a bit of an overstatement. How can we easily avoid something when we aren't aware of all the ways it's used?
That playing with blocks is a precursor to theorizing about what exists does not justify a field that purports to make true statements about what exists. Similarly, throwing a football around does not justify a field that purports to describe the behavior of entities in the world. These practices need external justification. The point is that the substantive content of the field of metaphysics has no such justification.
It seems advertising on crap sites with annoying blog spam is dominated by males, and I say that as a male who has considered doing that for my startup. I don't know if it's unique to men or if it's just because there seems to be more men than women founders, but that's the impression I get.

When I see a startup with a woman at the helm, it seems that advertising is a bit less aggressive, but again, that may be selection bias.
MIT Technology Review – The China Issue – Edition
Yeah I've had a difficult time figuring out how this was tested:

I would recommend using the benchmark at https://github.com/v8/web-tooling-benchmark in the future if it's currently not possible since currently it only seems to be testing ES5 (jquery.min.js) for the parser and a short ES6 snippet for the transforms.
> These men are marginalized and exist on the outskirts of society for reasons beyond their choosing.

I can assure you that the reason that most self professed incels are on the outskirts of society is that they’re fucking creepy. I mean have you read their subreddits. They make my skin crawl. And I have no idea what any of them look like.
Of course none of these might apply to you, but they are a big deal for the people they impact.

1) marijuana enforcement can be a huge deal, getting let go vs going to prison

2) fireworks enforcement

3) zoning and permitting, is absolutely huge

4) taxes (sales, property, and even income)

5) "sanctuary cities" can have huge implications for illegal aliens

6) homeless policies

etc
etc

A Field Guide to Lies: Critical Thinking in the Information Age - Daniel J. Levitin

Amazing book. Title says it all.
Babel makes extensive use of Flow. So I guess that counts as expressive static typing.
Just using tsc to compile a hello world with 7 tokens takes over a second in my experience. Sure, most of that is initialization, but compare that to the C and C++ world, where GCC spends tens of milliseconds at most compiling hello world.

Hot reloading _helps_, but it's definitely an issue that javascript tooling spends seconds on tasks other languages' tooling spends tens or hundreds of milliseconds on. (The issue isn't just limited to tsc either; just starting the build system can take a decent amount of time with webpack, while make or cmake starts in milliseconds.)
> it’s a safe bet that if you’re within city limits anywhere in the U. S. you best assume discharging a firearm is illegal (it probably is) until proven otherwise.

That's an example of you having to care about which city you're in. You can't just rely on your knowledge of federal or state law there.
The police and CPS don't name them, but MPs do for political reasons. Even if everyone couldn't, MPs can say things in Parliament more freely than outside.

More broadly, embedding is a mapping from objects (e.g., words and entities) to vectors of real numbers.
And as described in the mcxlog's comment, an entity refers to an entry in Wikipedia in this paper.

Where are the test cases?

Babel's parser alone has quite a formidable suite of fixtures (a few thousand as I recall): https://github.com/babel/babel/tree/master/packages/babel-pa...

The nice thing about implementing a JS-JS compiler is that there is already a huge number of tests out there, like these, that you can use to TDD your compiler's edge-cases.

SWC's CONTRIBUTING mentions this:

> Include tests that cover all non-trivial code. The existing tests in test/ provide templates on how to test swc's behavior in a sandbox-environment. The internal crate testing provides a vast amount of helpers to minimize boilerplate. See [testing/lib.rs] for an introduction to writing tests.

But I cannot find a `/test` directory, and it does not appear in the .gitignore either.

EDIT: Ah, the tests are in `/tests.rs` with JS embedded inside rust code. This makes it a bit harder to compare directly with babel's suite, but claims to be lifted from test262, which babel also based many of their tests on (albeit recategorized). hzoo's comment here has details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18746905
Thanks for the additional details. It was not present in the article, which is why I am glad I asked the question. It seems that the extent of the copying is greater than I had assumed from the original article's text.
Yep there's been various PRs for perf over the years but it's never been a focus per-se, and we've had help from various people including the v8 team https://twitter.com/left_pad/status/927554660508028929. Haha yeah no one wants to hear about open source sustainability in a thread about asking that tools be correct/fast/easy to use at the same time :D

It's true, speed is not really a concern on my mind at the moment - rather that we have enough people even willing to contribute back at all
The cleaners: sorting through the world's digital garbage
APL & Mathematica are both pretty awesome. I wish I could use them enough to become truly proficient.

Do you use those at work?
This is a good point, and I agree with you completely. Perhaps the Brave org will come up with a working solution. It's likely the largest problem with the Internet economy today.

Personally, for now, I'm paying monthly to those news sources that respect my attention and provide an honest representation of reality.
Dunno about op but can tell what I see here: dating on tinder has become kinda an online shopping experience with a convenient return policy included.

That's to say I see people just so focused to look for a prefer match that they forgot what a relationship and growing tougher is.

There's far too romanticism and unrealistic expectations involved and too little effort and commitment put into it.

Hard to quantify and pinpoint the issue exactly, but in general looking for that one love seems the issue.
Finally a bipartisan moment, looks like most reps were onboard.

We Americans love our world domination (Militarily, culturally, economically), why wouldn't other countries not want the same?. Especially a country like china with a culture of success which goes back thousands of years. With all that being said, i certainly would never want China to dominate the world. Last thing i want in America is a culture that is so damn deferential to authority.

Agree, I thought I knew everything about the story, but the book had even more in it. Well written and highly entertaining. I couldn't put it down.
I think he is saying there are a lot of 80% solutions like user based isolation that could have been made more secure, but instead people invented a new solution that has its own problems, and that the fractured landscape of solutions we see now is due to the freedom of open source.
You need to match in order to message (on Tinder at least).

That’s partially because Chester isn’t run by a separate local authority - the local council is “Cheshire West & Chester”.

Places where the City is a unitary local authority will sometimes have a noticeable boundary. For the city I live in, the on-pavement (sidewalk for US people) cyclepaths swap sides at the city boundary - inside the city the cyclepath part is furthest from the road, outside it’s closest to the road!
I agree with what you say. I think the trouble starts when the economical burden of recovery is not on the customer, but on the company.

If I tell somebody that something's unrevocerable because I know they wouldn't want to pay the recovery, I'm not lying. But saying nothing can be done when I'm just afraid of the cost of righting my mistake: that is lying.
>> but I see most of the results are quite recent: within the last few months

I think you've answered your own question. I don't know how long this has been around and I'm not sure how long people have been calling it this. Regardless of any of that, it is now getting a name and recognition under that name. The world changes, and you're seeing a little of that here.

On a related note, I wrote some code to take a piece of music and output guitar TAB. I'd print a number on every string where it was playable, and this left me to manually search for optimal fingerings (some notes have 5 or 6 options). Wave Function Collapse is exactly the type of thing I had been trying to devise to reduce the TAB to something easy to play. You could even change the constraints for different picking styles.
The first problem here is the data formats state and federal governments use. You'll see a hodgepodge, but primarily MS Office $version .

The biggest problem with this terrible binary format is that metadata can leak a great deal that should have not been released. So this leads to PDF output of word/excel.

The next area is that especially local government offices have no way of setting up a data portal. I'm working on this right now, where the only way to get data out of Bloomington,IN is to do FOIA requests every week/month over the data you want. This absolutely should be available via a portal, and not locked behind "in person, mail, fax at cost of .10$ a page".
It should be said that Singularity does actually rely on setuid scripts to actually work with images.
Inceldom is an extremist manifestion of a growing epidemic of loneliness. Frankly, they have nothing to do with this actual discussion, and stifle discussions around male loneliness.

>is that they’re fucking creepy.

That's the point. They're different. What does creepy mean? Difficulty with social norms? Unusual interests? Physical unnatractiveness? You think these are choices? Incels are just especially self aware and bitter "geeks" and "nerds" of yore, back before those terms were coopted by the mainstream.

I think these men are bitter because they exist with the same needs for romance that you and I do, but have no realistic way of actualizing these desires. Their pain is involuntary and real. Look past the vileness of their rhetoric and understand that they are suffering.
Canada Prohibits Piracy Settlement Demands in ISP Copyright Notices
This seems like it could be applied to any app designed to display user-generated content on a single site or family of sites, obviously including Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. since I'm pretty sure it's possible to find nudity on any of those just with some casual browsing.

Should also probably be applied to Messenger, Hangouts, Skype, Duo, WhatsApp, etc. since I'm pretty sure there's nudity and sexual content on those as well, and you can likely find it pretty easily.

For that matter, I'm pretty sure I can find explicitly sexual content in Chrome running on Android. Has Google considered what a potential disaster this could be for them? Perhaps they should remove Chrome and other general-purpose web browsing apps, or define what it is that makes those applications different from the ones they do ban.

On a different note, can this be applied to reverse some annoying things? Does Reddit allow access to "adult" areas in the mobile app and if not do they play the annoying "wouldn't you like to use the app instead" in those areas on mobile browsers? Can you bypass that by marking your subreddit as "adult" if you don't have a significant volume of under-18 readers?

Edit: "Google Android: Like AOL, but with less porn! And we have Candy Crush!"
A brief reading of Wikipedia states that the ancient Egyptians and Greeks didn't have much against nudity. Minimal clothing was worn in Egypt. And the Greeks even said that other countries disliked their nakedness: "generally in countries which are subject to the barbarians, the custom is held to be dishonourable; lovers of youths share the evil repute in which philosophy and naked sports are held, because they are inimical to tyranny;"

Edit: Reading further, it's saying that public topless-ness was common in Japan until the American occupation after WWII, so there's a more recent example as well.
My favorite tidbit of this story:

In 2014, Relotius sold two stories to the monthly magazine of a Swiss paper, both interviews with hairdressers. The second one (still online: https://folio.nzz.ch/2014/februar/blondinen-faerben-ihr-haar...), a supposed interview with a Finnish hairdresser immediately received a comment from someone in Finland ("this report seems to be fiction"), complaining that the mentioned salon doesn't actually exist, the mentioned prices were all wrong and the mentioned name had the wrong gender. The magazine printed a correction and decided to no longer work with the author.

No offense to Finnish hairdressers, but if someone completely fabricates a story this meaningless, it's reasonable to assume that he's a pathological liar and not a single written word of his can be taken seriously.

Given that the guy was such a pathological liar, even about trivial matters, I find it very hard to believe that no one supposedly ever had any suspicion about the truthfulness of writing.
Im a little confused, its just Word2vec pretrained on content of wikipedia.
Trust me, I am well aware that even big open source projects don’t get the resourcing they deserve. Everyone always has to make do. Babel is a fantastic project.

Thanks for sharing. I've been planning on building a deep learning box with 4x2080's, but I've been concerned about the loss of the blower style coolers in such a dense configuration. Have you seen any good 2080 Ti's with blowers? Alternatively, I might just go for 2 Titans. The larger memory via 2 way NVLink and faster tensor cores might outweigh the loss of FP32 compute for my purposes.

As for the Epyc, I've seen more people going for the TR2. Seems like the clock on the 7401P is lower, maybe that's why? Or maybe people are just less familiar with dealing with server hardware and are worried that they don't know what they don't know.
College educated single women outnumber college educated single men in nearly all places except 6 communities: San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, a part of Los Angeles, Austin and a part of Manhattan. Certainly not Chicago or Miami, or surprisingly not even Seattle! The difficulty of college educated single women to find partners in most places in the US is legendary.0

No, what you’re observing is a uniquely tech industry, predominantly California phenomenon. Look at those cities soberly.

On the other hand, among the non college educated, single men outnumber single women everywhere, at practically all ages.

There is no logical root of this problem. It doesn’t arise naturally from the math, or some innate human behavior. Most demographers studying this believe the education gap is responsible for a feeling of not living up to social standards of companionship. That’s where the data leads.

See http://labs.time.com/story/see-the-ratio-of-single-men-to-wo... for a simple version, or read Date-o-nomics or Dataclysm for more discussion on the matter.
No, I am not a Chinese agent. I don't know how to prove this to you definitively. However, I'd like to ask you if you consider my query legitimate, given that I did not have access to the full affidavit when I asked it, only the original article which was skimpy on the details around the extent of the copying. Mostly, I was more worried that my company could have me arrested either for accessing or copying a file arbitrarily deemed outside of my duties, or for violating their IT policy.
