Exactly. I feel like I've had enough bad companies/relationships to be really content just to be on myself. And I feel so, so much better off with it. I have total tranquility of mins and can concentrate on what I'm passionate about, instead of being always upset, disappointed or have my attention taken away and all that. I still actively engage in online communities and this makes me happy. Also I maintain occasional contact with a few friends, who I sense to share my values and are generally reliable, which seems more than enough really.

People might have tended to "tolerate" others because it was harder to survive without the others, when technologies were not that advanced. But do a lot of people really want to be with the others that much? This I really doubt.

Also I feel the couple mentioned in that article might have well been better off if they could actually pursue their passions instead of focusing solely on personal relationships, or why not both indeed.

I bought a used three-zone Weber Summit-series barbecue for a really good price. It was well-used. Many of the screws keeping it together were corroded and falling apart. There were a couple of holes in the main cooking box. I repaired and restored the entire grill to a very workable condition with the help of Weber, who sells replacement parts and offers great customer support. Unfortunately, I don't weld, so my solution to patching holes involved washers, nuts, screws, and custom cut sheet metal.

Restoring this grill required a few hours of labor and lots of patience. The grill retails for a few thousand dollars. I bought it for less than 10% retail, used and requiring repair. The parts cost less than 100.

Many of us value our personal time in a way that rationalizes avoiding a project such as this. However, the cost savings and value created by this project were sufficient to justify the effort.

I like to consider this strategic mending..
Good point... The origin of the acronym is a bad joke at the office (AIL) because in French AIL means garlic and we had another project called Potiron https://github.com/CIRCL/potiron which means pumpkin and then AIL was used as ingredient to make a pumpkin soup. Sorry, we are bad at naming projects.
Civil service rules make it very difficult for the government to hire people for limited periods of time. What would the government do with highway construction workers after the job was done? Sure there might be another project three states away, but it’s not reasonable to tell workers they have to move every few years.
During undergrad studies I used to wear a jacket with a cross-stitched logo from a game I was playing at the time. It was unbelievable how everyone assumed that it was my mother’s doing. What bothered me was not the thing about the gender stereotype but the fact that putting a string in a needle and using it seems so hard for anyone from teenagers to grown up adult. Sometimes the barriers are just in the mind.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but you are probably not important enough to be their target. Unless they could exploit you in order to exploit someone more powerful they care about, like a corporate or political leader. This is more to protect our leaders, which in turn keeps you more protected.
It seems America is scared by mini-vans from Canada and sedans from Germany as well and pretty much anything that creates an economic gain for anyone other than America.

Huawei could pose a security threat but we already know by now that this is all about the economy and maintaining America's indisputed supremacy at all costs. After China, EU will be the next buggy man.

I hate that argument if it's used to cripple the users ability to have full control of their own devices. It is NOT a privacy hole when you install software that has access to your data. If you don't want that, don't install that software. If you don't trust that software, don't install it.
Content addressing can help here. If every asset is identified by a cryptographic hash, the user agent is free to fetch it from any available source. In the case of images, you can hash over the rendered pixels instead of the file encoding, so all transparent 1x1 images are concise red interchangeable.

Alternatively/in addition, the user agent can treat embedded assets like textbooks do, and present them all as numbered, boxed, and captioned figures.
I've been developing using Swift for three years and built several apps for myself and published them. Those jobs were coding purely in Swift developing apps from scratch and using frameworks I've never used and learning about them (like AVFoundation), I think that's a great start and some basic experience.

Its worth noting that “tried hard” isn’t a good description of the things necessary. You need to creatively manoever into a position to do so and you need to know how to do that.
Good read. It's also refreshing to see a mainstream article that talks about ML without once mentioning 'AI'.
The Path Amazon Rejected
Integrity doesn't change, it's either there or it isn't. If you start a business with somebody, then after 10 years they suddenly backstab you and take your business, we don't say "they changed", we say they had no integrity to begin with. Integrity that somebody won't stick to is almost by definition not integrity, as "keeping one's word" implies keeping it unconditionally.

My first marriage ended in divorce, and we settled entirely amicably, out of court, because we both thought it would be pretty horrible to drag the other through the court system just because it turned out we wanted different things in life.

To assess integrity, it's not enough to look at how someone treats you, the person they love. It's also important to look at how they treat things they don't care about, how they treat things they hate, how they approach things they don't want to do but have to do anyway, how they treat people under their power like employees or serving staff. How they treat the promises they don't have to keep. Because if the love dies, that may be how they'll treat you.

The same kids will run rings around most parents no matter how tech savvy when it cames to using social media.

The key here is going over te same muscles more often than what a typical more mainstream routine would have you do, ie go over a muscle group once a week. The smaller the muscle group the faster they recover, day or two, and then the protein synthesis goes down the muscle begins to atrophy before the next stimulus arrives.
ML is not causing a reproducibility crisis, it just exposes one that is already there.

> If we had an additional dataset would we see the same scientific discovery or principle on the same dataset?

The same holds true for traditional science based on traditional statistics. It just seems that traditional datasets are under less scrutiny of reproducibility and are taken more easily at face value.
Securing the Kubernetes API with Open Policy Agent
On average, men are better off financially after divorce and women worst off financially after divorce. However, women are happier after divorce then men who are more lonely and depressive. Then again men are more likely to find another partner.
Exactly this. We think we are tech savvy because we are better than them at our tech. That tech was plumbing for your dad, and it’s something 90s-00s for me. My kids do stuff better than me that I don’t even consider tech but it probably is.

That’s how you become an old person that know nothing about tech - you keep being good at tech and don’t consider the stuff you aren’t good as to be tech. Eventually that other tech is all there is and you are now your dad.

We are expecting our first child, and the amount of second-hand clothing that found its way to us via family is astounding. Children outgrow clothing fast, so even without mending clothing gets reused as a matter of course.
> A further thought: `apple_pie` wouldn't actually be problematic, in the sense that we could deduce `¬even(apple_pie)` from the way it's currently written.

Yes. We can have the same behavior with the following Prolog implementation:

not_even(X) :-
X \= 0,
( X \= s(s(_N))
; X = s(s(N)),
not_even(N) ).

(This is a translation of the article's definition, except that I added the "X = s(s(N))" condition to make the case distinction explicit and actually bind N in the second branch. It wouldn't work without this for the reason I mentioned above, of deducing this equality from a failure.)

?- not_even(s(s(0))).
false.

?- not_even(s(s(s(0)))).
true .

?- not_even(apple_pie).
true .

> Of course, this might not be desirable philosophically since it might be preferable to consider applying `even` to `apple_pie` nonsense since they are of different types (informally speaking).

Right. This is one of the reasons why some Prolog extensions and Prolog-like languages like Mercury add static type systems. It makes little sense to ask whether apple pie is even or odd.
You are completely missing the point of government surveillance.

Yes, indeed, as an individual nobody cares about you. However you are a part of general census and by spying on you and everyone around you they can predict what you are thinking, what you are craving, what political stance you hold, what are the risks of you being involved in some future problems for them etc. You can go wider and wider to a city, to a state and finally to a country. Then, for example China can really see what american citizens are thinking in general and this is valuable information.

Also, second reason why you are completely missing the point. Let's say you are one of those "I don't care if they spy on me, let them record me on my toilet." - Now your kids are involved in some political activity and you did not pay your taxes for one month 7 years ago. Government wants to suppress your kids political activity and just tell them either they stop or their father (you) go to jail. At least this is how it works in totalitarian countries.
Is machine learning really to blame for the reproducibility crisis? I'm not in academia, but it seemed to me that the problem was entirely present without machine learning being involed.

For example, Amgen reporting that of landmark cancer papers they reviewed,
47 of the 53 could not be replicated [1]. I would have assumed that most of them didn't involve 'machine learning'

Both the MacBook and iMac lines look confused to me. Why are they still selling iMacs with hard disks rather than SSDs? What is the point of the iMac Pro when they have a Mac Pro? Why is the new MAC Mini so expensive, it used to be the budget option. There doesn’t seem to be much of a strategy around their desktops, it’s as if nobody is in charge.

Also why can’t they offer on site service for a £10,000 desktop? Lenovo can do it.
It seems plausible to me that societies that developed a marriage type situation could have benefited from more stability due to men being more settled (or at least having the veneer of being settled) and not competing with each other for every woman they see.

Otherwise, it seems possible we could end up with a situation where 20% of men get 80% of women like many other species and the males have to keep fighting each other to determine who gets them.
Isn't it the other way around? Someone who mends their own clothes looks capable, creative, and economical. Also, elbow patches are trendy.

Of course there is a difference between mending otherwise fine clothing and having to go on wearing worn or threadbare clothes, as you rightly point out.

Although I would like to think that the next generation will be renowned for the "tinkerers of something else that comes out", it is also true that industry and society has changed a lot in that regard. Back in your parents day, your dad was able to have a holistic view on his car and repair many parts also because it was more simple back then. And it was also possible to repair TVs, toasters, lawnmower and whatnot. This has just completely changed for many reasons. Things are becoming more complex and more "consumer-friendly". But in fact "consumer-friendly" nowadays feels more and more like keeping the user limited (or maybe even stupid) to never even try to ask questions/put the technology into perspective finding new use cases for him/herself or even fixing things for themselves (think about Apple policies...). So I do believe that for "tinkerers" to have a come-back a completely new era would first have to evolve again.
If you get the same amount of money and then twenty years of leisure, surely you are meaningfully better off than someone that had to work forty years for it?

Every 6 months I used to go to my mother and use her Bernina sewing machine to fix some clothes. The machine is old already but still works good. Recently she bought me a new mechanical one. I really hope it will last all my life. I don't need it much, but it's a pleasure to fix things or make something small. Plus, the use of a powerful machine makes it way more fun than stitching. Also, it still wastes less time than me searching and buying something new.
Generally, riskier and more expensive are shared properties, you want to do those first since then you save the grunt work if you mess it up as well as you have more space to work with it.
In many tribes, the implicit contract is that if you are unable to have children, raise a family, suffer a loss of family, or become disabled yourself, then the tribe is still there for you.

Tribes that have an every man for himself ethos don’t really work out in the long run. Turns out, working together and spreading risk over the tribe (or country) is more sustainable and productive, hence they thrive and have a competitive advantage.

Isn't it "come", short for become?
MGTOW don’t merely “check out of the idea of a romantic relationship” and proceed to focus on something positive and healthy - plenty of people do that ime, they’re happy being single and focusing on work or hobbies or what-have-you - instead they spend their time spreading misogynistic hate wherever they’re not banned, and using bans as further evidence that women have taken over the world rather than reflection on their own behaviour.

Look at it this way: “I think society should put less expectation on men to be the primary provider while women care for children and the home, and both should be expected to take equal roles in both”, would be a perfectly reasonable approach to solving the problem of childbirth affecting women’s careers (the problem that alimony is currently meant to solve) that everybody could agree with... and in fact feminists have been arguing for a very long time. MGTOW don’t argue that because they don’t actually want that - they often seem to actually want those traditional roles, but don’t want to make things right if a relationship fails.
Yes, and everyone thinks they're a great judge of character and integrity and they won't get backstabbed. Just the unenlightened and unwashed masses around them who don't know how to really look at a person and determine how trustworthy they are.

Then life goes on and someone who they thought was decent goes through a difficult time in life and backstabs them.

Even ignoring the very simple fact that people do change, there's the undeniable fact that the circumstances around a person change and it can and does push people to do things that they typically wouldn't do.

People who've lived comfortable lives and never had money troubles think they'll always be fine, but the minute their finances take a slight dip, they panic. It's a problem they never expected and it's probable they'll make some irrational decisions. Or maybe that person you've trusted all your life found out their brother has cancer and they're desperate to do anything to pay for the bills.

Shit happens. People try to adapt to it however they can. Thinking you'll avoid problems just by judging their integrity with a firm handshake and getting to know them is setting yourself up to be screwed over by people who know how to find an easy target, if not setting yourself up to be one of those virtuous people who screws over other people because your motives are good and theirs aren't.

In the previous parts, I've explained how the line and cell magic works and how to create your own by decorating a function.

In the last part, I'm explaining:

* How are they different from magic functions and when you might want to use one or the other?

* How to create a type checker for Python type hints (that works on previous commands, similar to how %history works)?

Trying to engineer the entire lifecycle from within the webserver has a wide array of problems that the author is bending over backwards to end up only partially solving.
