It's really interesting that XGBoost failed when ran on a dataset that had no noise. I've also seen a similar thing occur with the Adam optimizer when training neural networks on perfect synthetic data [1]. Always interesting to take a dive down and understand why this is happening -- it gives you a glimpse into the internals of your algorithms.

Cool Idea, can one use hashes like sha256 to prove that the article original content has not been modified? Is that already in IPFS?
Ah, so if you had compared the Model 3 to a similar-segment petrol car such as the Mazda 3 (4-door), it would be the other way around and the petrol car would come out $10k cheaper in TCO. The Audi A4 is only that expensive because it's a premium segment sedan, the Model 3 is (by design!) not a premium segment sedan.

To clarify, I think you're not comparing "electric car" with "petrol car", you're comparing it with "petrol car for which I happened to pay a $20k premium because it's a status symbol".

Cappuccino, Cocoa in the browser with a Keynote clone written in it.

Way ahead of its time when the idea of writing full-fledged desktop apps in the browser still seemed ludicrous.

In a complete shock to me, the project is active and recently hit 1.0!

Is it possible to have a second meter installed on a different tariff?
You should spend some of each day feeling at least a bit hungry. If you're not hungry when you sit down for a meal, you've eaten too much already.

There's a huge difference between "a bit hungry" and actually properly hungry. Most people with weight problems probably never let themselves feel more than peckish, and so their perception of hunger adjusts to amplify that feeling. When I'm below my target weight (sitting at a fairly low body fat percentage) and I try to maintain a calorie deficit, the hunger I start feeling is insanely more intense than when I'm a bit chubby and losing weight.
I lost 30lbs just removing sugary drinks and side dishes. In other words instead of burger + fries + coke it changed to burger + diet coke. Went from 210 to 180. No other changes, no exercise. Just my results. I don't remember how long it took but I don't remember it being more than a year.
I've been seeking exactly one of these concepts to understand how people can interact with a limited system and yet still find it engaging: lusory attitude from Suit's 1978 book "The grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia". Thanks!

I have a friend who I watched try a bunch of diet systems. Pills from amazon that she researched. Trying to not eat as much. Calorie counting. More expensive pills. Doing one of those "we send you all your meals" programs. Nothing worked or was even close. Maybe she'd lose 5 pounds and then immediately gain it back.

Finally she went to a clinic. The Dr. gave her a prescription to phentermine and she had to show up every week for evaluation. It worked great, the pounds melted off her, and she has kept it off. She lost something like 35 lbs in a few months (from 160). It basically made her not want to eat, her daily calorie count was stupid low, but it never really affected her energy levels - she didn't have any health issues.

The doctor said her body would get used to the drug in about 3 months and it would be less effective, and that was true. So you can't really stay on it continuously, I guess..

I feel the pragmatic approach would be to start with "what happens when I type a URL in a browser and hit enter?". Set up a simple HTTP server in any language and log what the browser actually sends you - the various header fields as well as the body text. From these fundamentals, you can increasingly build up an understanding of how to serve clients - layer by layer.

I appreciate this sounds like trivial advice, but I've seen countless developers (including myself initially) that e.g. start with Ruby or PHP and don't understand what happens before their script is called, what receives their request, how paths are mapped, how this magical $_POST object is populated and so on.
I struggle with all the alternate 'installation managers' for Windows. Microsoft has already done this with their MSI system (Although even they have basically abandoned it in favour of the APPX stuff). MSI was a good format, and could be installed silently with the right switches (/q/b), support alternate installation options via MST files, and even patches via MSP files. Even the specific DLL dependencies ('DLL Hell') got fixed via manifest files/attributes. Microsoft published the MSI specification early on, and encouraged everyone to support it.

However, the core problem with Windows software is there isn't a primary software repository for all approved and tested software, like there is for *nix platforms. Ideally that's what needs to be fixed first before yet more client-end installers get created.

To fix this, based on the current landscape, all third-party client-end installers need to support all existing third-party repositories. Even better, everyone agrees on a standard JSON format (or whatever) for their repository manifest and all third-party installers understand that. Then just like Linux et al. all you have to do is add the new repository URL to your installers config, and all the packages advertised within are immediately available.

It seems really simple to fix - but people have to co-operate.
It is. You want to download Tor in some hard to track way, you probably shouldn't use an easily trackable source. There are better options including getting sent an email and torrents.

The current financial system does not price taking care of the environment. Tragedy of the commons, air co2, oceans pollution. Further it is unstable there is always credit booms and busts in cyclical fashion. Further besides thrashing the planet it sends wealth from the middle class up to the top of the pyramid. I am curious why the middle class tolerates it? Could it be that most people do not understand the financial system?

If it calls 10 functions, then the equivalent "inlined" function written under my rule is at most 100 lines long, which means it fits on one page easily, and it's almost certainly easier to read than one where you have to follow 10 different function calls. Function naming usually sucks. As they say it's one of the hardest problems in computer science. If your code is 10 lines or less, it should be self-evident (perhaps with a short comment) as to what it does.

Also, as an aside, inlining "for performance" with the inline keyword doesn't always inline. You have to use a GCC hint to force it.
What is the role of the `async` keyword in Dart? I couldn't understand it from the article.

> the outcome of the method is a Future

Isn't the function signature sufficient to express this?

> it runs synchronously the code of that method up to the very first await keyword

How is this different from non-async methods?

> the next line of code will be run as soon as the Future, referenced by the await keyword, will have completed

But the await keyword is in the caller which is not statically known.

What is the difference between an async method and a method that returns a Future?

> a more polished F-Script[1]

F-Script was one of the many inspirations for Objective-Smalltalk, it is way cool!

In fact, my first plan was to just extend that, but looking at things more specifically, I noticed it didn't really match up with what I wanted, which was always to have a full-fledged programming language that's a peer.

And after a bit ObjST diverged more into an architecturally-oriented programming language.
Banks don't literally print money but they do create it when they issue loans.
I'm sorry, but this is just a ridiculous comment and terrible advice. I was driving a borrowed Mercedes over Christmas purchased earlier that year. When I filled it with gas it clearly said, "minimum octane rating 91." Sure, you can use regular gas and on any modern car it shouldn't cause damage, but it's silly to pay that much for a car and cheap out $.20-$.30 per gallon when it is designed and recommended for it.

I included the cost of regular gas because even that showed the article was being disingenuous about cost even using those numbers.

Per a 2017 jalopnik article[1], any short term gains by using cheaper gas are likely to be lost because of decreased performance. While any short-term problems will likely be addressed by anti-knock sensors, long term problems aren't known. If you're that price-sensitive, buy a car designed for regular octane fuel.

The M3 has knock sensors, like everyone else.

If you look up engine knock on wikipedia, it will tell you the same

From:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking#Knock_detectio...

"Due to the large variation in fuel quality, a large number of engines now contain mechanisms to detect knocking and adjust timing or boost pressure accordingly in order to offer improved performance on high octane fuels while reducing the risk of engine damage caused by knock while running on low octane fuels.

You probably mean systemic fraud, because there has been plenty of systematic fraud.

The subprime mortgage crisis is in fact an excellent example of systemic fraud which happened in the US, fraud committed by ratings agencies (AAA CDOs) and banks (autosign). The system was corrupt, and probably still is - the incentives are all wrong.
> Technically, there is no such thing as a tech company. They are all selling something, usually software directly or better software-powered versions of existing industries.

Oh hush, you. You know how much extra they're paying us because they have low profit expectations? Let the investors keep calling it tech.

But seriously, I think one could make a distinction between companies that focus on using new technology to scale businesses (which are mostly old, but can be scaled in new ways using technology) vs. old businesses that focus on just remaining old businesses. The idea being that if you are a "tech" company, you are rolling the dice on being able to expand much harder/faster than a company could have with older technology, and also have significant downside in that regard. To be a 'tech company' in this regard is to be trying to get big in ways that make it more likely you will get big or go bankrupt, whereas a more traditional company might take a more conservative approach.

I mean, the important distinction here that the market is maybe missing is that if an old company puts enough effort (or rather, has enough success) scaling their business using new technology, they probably should be put in the same risk/reward bucket, and if you do succeed, well, you probably should no longer be thought of as a 'tech' company by this definition. Like I think you could argue that Apple might not be a 'tech' company by that definition (you could argue that they were a tech company when they figured out how to sell pocket computers to normal people - of course, you could also argue that they try to do that all the time, it's just they are at the point in their product development lifecycle where they have a super successful old product and none of their new stuff is really that visible.)

>Do you not believe that super-intelligence is possible

I don't believe super-intelligence is possible. I don't believe we're anywhere near modeling intelligence, and even if we did I don't believe intelligence will "exponentially increase" given more computing power (the same way there's a limit to speeding up barely- or non-parallelizable programs).
Good code is like a good book, it's written to be read. A lot of people don't get that. Small single-use functions are like footnotes.
I imagine they're getting downvoted because, while it's technically true in the short-term, it's a terrible idea. If you're trying to do an apples-to-apples comparison between electric and gas, unless you're going to measure and calculate the fuel efficiency loss, it makes no sense here.

If you're paying for a higher-end car, it makes no sense to cheap out $.30/gal. Fuel costs, especially the difference from regular to premium octane, are so little in relation to everything else. While anti-knock sensors should avoid short-term damage, the long term effects aren't known [1].

Not yet, but I like the idea. There are two things stopping us from pulling the trigger at the moment:

Socialization. For us, this goes beyond the normal bit where your kids don't spend as much time interacting with other kids and learning how to live in a society. We live in France, so the local village school is the perfect chance to toss the kids in head first to a new language. Both are swimming nicely, so it'd be a shame to pull them out and lose that before they're fluent for life.

Stigma. In the US, it seems that homeschooling is what crazy bible people do to shelter their kids from the real world. I don't want to set our kids up for a lifetime of having to explain themselves to everybody they ever talk to about education.

But the upsides are pretty tempting. Work-wise, I've been 100% remote for a long time, so the only thing keeping us from traveling the world instead of living in a house is having the kids in school. I expect we'll try taking the kids out for an entire year before long and booking a one-way flight, just to see how well it works...
I learned Haskell in 2001, was super excited by it but there wasn’t the “day to day” stuff to get things done that you had in Java or C++. So for practical work I felt I couldn’t use it. Fast forward now, with the rise of open source sand devs volunteering to code in their free time, we have Haskell kind of useful. Definitely for web software and backend. Although I question desktop development in Haskell.

I really enjoyed "Business Dynamics: Thinking and Modelling for a Complex World" by John Sterman. It's an older book, but it answers all of the questions that you ask. The book starts out by giving a high level overview of how systems modelling (and iteration on these models) occurs in practice, along with case studies and models that represent those case studies. The book talks about stocks and flows and real life examples on how stocks and flows work. While I wouldn't say this book is as rigorous as an engineering math text, it has a section on nonlinear dynamical systems and the math that these models represent in some sparse detail, so you can try to apply rigor to the models presented.
They can but they do not because servers are broken (and terribly so) and it brings less than zero gain for big files.

if you've got an app that constantly uses more memory then it's either a memory leak or poor tuning which results in that.

An app without a CPU limit can completely consume the hosts CPU and take down everything else on that node. If you've got a very large instance with a lot of apps, a bunch of them are gonna experience a poor QoS.

Their tale suggests their sidecar pods/containers (which likely didn't have limits) made their production issues worse. a CPU limit on those pods would have limited the damage those pods caused to the rest of their infra.
This is hilarious considering that the NYT's web section on the 2016 election results showed HRC as having over 50% of the popular vote from Tuesday night on.

Only later was it qualified to say (paraphrased) as "uh, we meant percentage of the popular vote that went to HRC or Trump". But they had never, ever computed their masthead popular vote counts that way before, and they didn't qualify those limited counts until 11 days after the election.

The people who come up with the spec don't fully know what is required. It's even worse than that actually; the requirements change constantly to account for changes in the technological and business environment within which the project exists.

I think this is a bit of an overstatement, because it implies an often unrealistic separation between writing specs and writing implementations. There may be several levels of each, and the middle levels may overlap.

For example, it may well be the case that the management on a project don't get heavily involved with the technical details and just specify "A needs to communicate with B" as part of the high level requirements. That doesn't mean the technical people responsible for implementing those requirement won't specify detailed protocols at a lower level and wouldn't benefit from formal methods to help ensure correct implementation.
