There isn't a specific feature of Flux that requires a new language, although part of the language is a query planner and optimizer that is tied to certain functions in it. Technically any Turing complete language is equivalent, but in practice that is seldom true. Performance is one vector, but so is expressiveness, aesthetics, ease of use, etc.

We chose not to use Lua because it's not a widely known language. Instead, we chose to create a language that looks and feels much like Javascript, which I think is the most widely used language today. However, we wanted to limit the scope of it and to add new syntax over time to make frequent tasks easier to express.

Any time you create a new API or library, you create new surface area for a developer to know. A language is no different than this. Some languages are also much easier to learn than others. For example, I found Go a language that I could pick up the basics in very quickly, while Rust is something that I'm still learning over months of effort. I like both languages, but their learning curves are very different.

I think Flux is quite easy to pick up for many programmers, although I'll have to see questions and have countless interactions with people trying to learn it to prove that out and make adaptations over time.

Finally, one goal with including the UI in InfluxDB 2.0 is that as we improve it, most users won't have to learn Flux at all. They'll be able to accomplish what hey want by just clicking around the interface. We're not there yet, but it's what we aspire to. And we want to have control over the language to build it in conjunction with UI tooling to automatically manipulate it.

Isn't CS teaching the kind of thing that ought to be able to scale?

There's no other subject that's as well covered on the internet; nothing in an undergraduate course isn't public knowledge. There's loads of video lectures these days.

And the coursework is incredibly scalable too, in addition to being similar to what people actually use in industry. My brother did CS at an Ivy, and they were just pushing repos to a server, and the UT software would check you'd done it properly.

Couldn't you just let everyone enroll, then make sure they do their practicals?
I don't thinks it's old fashioned. Not being lazy and having a conscience is enough to avoid them.

I have a 2018 XC60 and it's been really great on the whole, but very clearly Not There Yet™:

+ During a dark and wet night a few weeks ago, I used Pilot Assist (lane/speed/steering control) and it genuinely saw the lane lines better than I was able to during major unexpected downpours. I was in control the whole time, but it was a great help along the way and made the drive a lot more comfortable.

- Some of these systems work together rather poorly. For instance, the Pilot Assist system seems to identify white lane lines better than yellow ones, and on US highways (where the left-most edge is often yellow) it will drift left. However, the lane keeping system seems to see the yellow line just fine, so it will vibrate the steering wheel to warn that I'm getting too close, while Pilot Assist continues to insist on moving left. The solution is to get out of the left lane.

But I'm very optimistic and supportive about Volvo's trajectory in this area, to all of your points above.
Sibling comments mostly cover it. Outside of truly specialized professional programs (engineering, nursing, architecture), US colleges delay specialization until year 2 or 3.

The other notable difference is an undergraduate degree in the US is typically a 4 year program. Many in the UK are 3 year programs.
Interesting comment. My question is, how much of what you saw was Palantir and how much of it was just a set of techniques and a way of thinking? Could somebody have done virtually the same thing with other technologies (e.g. Powerpoint, yED and qGIS?)

UK banks are already very good about refunding fraudulent transactions and associated fees:

"In most cases the bank must refund the payment without undue delay and by the end of the business day following the day on which it became aware of the problem, unless it has reasonable grounds for suspecting that you have acted fraudulently."

"When your bank refunds an unauthorised payment it must also refund any charges and interest you have paid because of the unauthorised transaction."

Not the poster you're replying to, but it's just that you said "that's not how it works", and then suggested that the only way to get F is through data, even if it means generating synthetic data.

So that's wrong and untrue, as you recognize in this latest comment by saying you can partially define F. To make a concrete example, the convolution operator, the number of layers, their connectivity--all of that partially defines F. Finding a structure is what allows you to learn from the x/y pairs instead of just storing them in a look-up table.

It makes sense, then, that finding a better structure may allow you to learn from fewer x/y pairs. This is Apple's purported approach.

It also means that if you have a huge number of x/y pairs, you might benefit from (or get away with) using a simpler structure. This is Google's approach in the domains where they have a lot of data.

It is true that an important lesson has been "when designers build structure into machine learning systems, they often build in the wrong things, and they end up making commitments that the data cannot undo". But there's still a lot of structure that we put into machine learning system, and we're still learning about what good structures are for different applications, and different regimes of data.

I don't know about other countries, but for non-professional degrees in Sweden a program is essentially only a guarantee to be able to take certain classes. Otherwise you can take whatever courses you want, at whatever school you want, as long as you in the end fulfill the degree requirements. Which usually means half your bachelors are credits in the same subject.
It seems that no one objected to the (slightly off-topic) claim that "the vast majority of western music uses equal temperament". As I understand it, equal temperament is just a way of tuning keyboard instruments so that they sound the same in every key; a string quartet or a choir doesn't use equal temperament. (And some people claim that J. S. Bach, who insisted on tuning his own keyboards, didn't use equal temperament, either.)
Lua was certainly an option and it's one I was even considering as an embedded scripting language back in the fall of 2014. I gave a talk in London where I asked for a show of hands about Lua vs. Javascript as the choice and the majority raised for JS.

One of the reasons we didn't go with that is because we didn't want a separate query vs. scripting experience like you have with SQL engines that embed programming languages. We wanted something that felt and looked seamless.
Even Newt Gingrich (who caused the second longest shutdown) said that, in hind-sight, it was a terrible decision on his part. So, if Republicans really believe that this is giving them a good image, they’re using the wrong PR firm.
I'm curious what challenges you faced. I went once (a little over 3 years ago) and used a vpn fairly frequently (on and off as needed.) I think I even found and signed up for one while completely behind the great firewall.

Now, of course, I'd recommend setting it all up before going, but I've heard that it's still relatively commonplace for Westerners and PRC mostly turns a blind eye.
Oh I see.

Yes, I thought the two migrations were the same thing. I think maybe y'all thought they were too until recently when you realized you weren't gonna get it done in time?

After all, if the migration to .com really _had_ started in Q2 2018, it probably would have been done long before Github Services went away, and you wouldn't have had to fix .org like you do now. Maybe that's what travis was assuming originally... if at some point that changed, it wasn't communicated clearly, as you acknowledge.

I also was thinking in terms of "the GH api that .org uses that's going away", and "the GH api that .com uses that isn't." I didn't realize there are actually THREE separate GH integration APIs involved? "Github Services", which .org used to use, and is going away. "Github Webhooks" which .org will use soon. And "Github App", which .com uses?

It's all very confusing.

But that's why it's incumbent on y'all to explain it. When we get a warning from Github some ~8 months ago that travis is using deprecated API's that will go away on Jan 31st, and travis is unable to tell us anything much about the schedule or plan for doing something about that until Jan 20th, and it's still pretty vague... that's either a failure of planning or failure of communication or both on travis' part. None of us, your customers, would wait until the week before drop-dead to remove a deprecated dependency in production software when we had 8 months notice... unless we were in some kind of crisis.

On Jan 31st we will see if travis.org hosted projects keep working without interruption...

(I also don't understand why I can't _choose_ to migrate my app from .org to .com at any time. _Some_ of my peers _have_ migrated their apps, with self-service web UI, but my projects it won't let me. NEW open source projects can be on .com for free. But my existing ones on .org are stuck there waiting on nobody knows what, I don't think I can even delete the project and create it anew on .com... If I'm explaining this unclearly, yes, right, exactly! I know I don't even understand what's going on, and don't want to have to, I just want it to work!

Anyway, I'm not blaming you personally, but trying to give you a flavor of one part of leading to loss of confidence in travis, which I historically have loved, for me personally. And part of that is I used to consider travis _really good_ at communicating what was going on, which as we all know is something developer-customers often value.)

About a year ago, I started looking into current nutritional advice. One thing that stood out was that the average American used to get 40% of their calories from fat and 1/6 of Americans were obese. The government recommended reducing fat to less than 30% of overall calories, and, amazingly, Americans actually followed the recommendation. We now get about 30% of our calories from fat, and 1/3 of us are obese.

That doesn’t say much about what kind of fat we’re eating (e.g., if it’s oil), but the advice to reduce calories from fat was based on them being empty calories. It appears that they also help people feel full longer.

Personally, when I eat a salad for lunch, it doesn’t bother me that literally 85% of the calories come from fat (15 calories for the lettuce, 90 calories for the salad dressing). Even if I have low-fat salad dressing (30 calories), I’m getting 66% of my calories from fat.

Then again , maybe I’m reading the data wrong: it’s possible to reduce the percentage of calories coming from fat by eating the same amount of fat, and more food overall. Maybe Americans just did that.

I had several classes taught by adjunct faculty who had "day jobs" in my years at UVA. Although they were all in economics, not CS.

So, it can work. But, you need a good supply of local professionals with the aptitude to teach. Probably not too hard for entry level courses, but 3rd or 4th year courses are likely harder to find suitable adjuncts. I'm sure I could teach CS101, but no way could I teach a senior level OS class.
> Are we going to ignore that Google responded that they published this as part of a legal defense rather than a lobbying effort.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. I'd go as far as to say that this actually makes it _worse_, not better. Saying that that those protections are important is easy when there's nothing at stake. The fact that they then called for their overturn when the chips are down is how you know what they really think about it.
So based on this comment and the one you made a few levels up, it is "routine" for someone to graduate college, go to Google, and 6 years later (when they're 27-28 years old) be making $370,000 a year?

I wonder how many of the posters here pontificating on various methods/products are women, and how many men have actually discussed this topic in depth (no pun) with females they know personally. As a man, I think men must stop being opinionated wrt two specific matters about women - menstruation and childbirth - as its impossible for us to imagine/simulate the real ordeal.
Follow the money. The cost per credit hour is the same regardless of what classes you take. That 500 person freshman CS (or engineering, or bio, or whatever) class is a big money maker for the school compared to that 40 person capstone class. Schools want to make money so they pull out all the stops to freshman enrollment.

The school doesn't care if students drop out because they already got their $$. The school doesn't care if students who can't hack CS switch majors because then they take more money making 100 level classes in their new major.

Oh computers can make the risk/reward calculations, their criteria for risk and reward is wholly in the hands of who develops the logic.

and there in lies the problems for companies developing these systems. with current law they would be liable for any negative outcome. logs would be required to be kept and every decision would surely be pulled apart by whatever paid experts each side can find.

so without legislation, legislation the consumer must be very wary about, comes about limiting liability to such systems they will have to side with caution and even then every event is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

finally, would you or anyone you know trust a system which states it can do something you find adversely risky to actually do with you or your loved ones at risk? what would that take? it might simply be a decision of local values

> Google’s attorneys wrote that the 2014 standard “should be overruled” and a [...] precedent [...] should be reinstated.

Reconciling this information into an opinion that only gives credit to PR words, while completely ignoring lawyers' actions is strange.

“...Native American protesters, one of whom found himself in the midst of the high-schoolers.”

It looks like the author left us a nice example of ideology impacting reason.

There is zero possibility of watching the video in question and coming to the conclusion that the Native American “found himself” there.

The video clearly shows him marching directly up to one of the boys while beating his drum in the boys face.

It’s a really strange force, an ideology so powerful in one’s ego that one can ignore all facts and reason, even when pretending to reason about such phenomena.
Kind of. I use a good headshot from my wedding.
Yes, price aside I really like the US approach of basically giving everyone a chance and slowly siphoning people into specialization (or out of university). In comparison to some of the "free" university systems where you end up with huge competition for a tiny amount of slots, the US seems to do better at finding those students that just didn't care about high school but are exceptionally talented in the one domain they are interested in.
