the problem with guns is the same as many other forms of suicide that the harm you may do to those that find you. the best way to go is to disappear completely without a trace. but doing so successfully requires a huge amount of research to pull off in a way that you won't be found ever. it also leaves the question if those that you leave behind (if any) will be hurt by your disappearance. this is an incredibly hard problem which I expect will take me a long time to solve. it's a reason as good as any to continue muddling through and live another day.

Yeah I have. I'm confused about it b/c https://github.com/ivodopyanov/MTGML/blob/master/train.py looks like he's doing a similar deep learning type deal with no handcrafted features, but http://top8draft.com/about suggests he's using a totally different approach.
Jpeg compression was my thought exactly. This author knows extremely little about computers.
Responding to your edit: I downvoted you because your comment was not constructive and basically was just chastising a project composed entirely of a few geographically-separated volunteers.

The article has so many errors that it is hard to write a reply. Let's pick one:

My wording is stronger than I intended it (I don't feel that strongly about Magic), but the author did claim that his model "definitely understands the concept of colour", that it is "better than humans" and made several other strong claims besides.

This is absolutely about selfishness. Growing up in the suburbs, every Saturday at 10 AM and every weekday at 8 AM, the leafblowers would start. They wouldn't be done until the early afternoon. And most of the people who people used them when they weren't home, and would just hire contractors to blow their lawns several times a week, while disturbing their neighbors.
I concede the ambiguous 7 item thing, but where are you getting 120 watts from? The only figures I get from my googling say the entire human body only uses 100 watts on average, with 20% of that used by the brain.

That’s true. No one is saying be good at everything. But you should be surveying your local market, seeing what an in demand tech stack looks like and align your skills with it and have a cohesive story to tell.

But you can’t be proficient at an architectural level with a stack in two weeks no matter how good you are.

Would you say that you could me an iOS/Android developer in two weeks just because you picked up Swift/Java?

Take improv acting. You learn two highly relevant things:

1. Loosening up creatively(which helps you develop the pitch)

2. Playing a character appropriate to the scene. e.g. during the job interview both parties can play characters that represent themselves/the company in their best light.

Playing a character isn't about lying - it's in the word: play. Every conversation involves some performative aspects, and these skills simply give you additional ways to conduct conversation in business and in life.
My guess is that it's related to Indonesia's poor historical air safety record. This goes for ferries, buses and trains as well. Penalties for not ensuring safety are far too lax hence this cycle continues.

JavaScript is used for its virtues, and its flaws can be mitigated.

Other languages might not have those flaws, but they have other downsides.

It's not like English is the best choice for language either!
It protected against a weird javascript edge case in the distant past and against flash injection in the past.

Oh so it could imply that Boeing is responsible for two independent contributing factors: sensor malfunction and failure to disclose system changes, correct?

Wouldn't Lion Air processes still remain relevant as a third contributing factor, since fixing any of these factors could have reduced the probability of the accident?
I think ubuntu has done a decent job with universe by and large. I find it in much better shape overall than epel. A good way to judge the health of these auxiliary repos is to look at the age of chromium. Ubuntu is generally good with patching at least security issues in universe. epel is still running behind by a month or two despite the security disclosures. So RH ought to take a page from Canonical's book when it comes to epel and make it a more official thing than the entirely community driven thing it is right now.

For me, a lot of that seems like wishful thinking. We didn’t exist before birth, and we think nothing of it. More than likely, that’s where we are headed. We just have a really hard time excepting something that is so fundamentally against our current state of existing.

Totally agree. It's really easy to categorically say "If X happens I will do Y for sure" until things really happen and then suddenly there is much more nuance that makes decisions really hard. A while ago someone I knew broke her neck and was paralyzed neck down, couldn't talk, couldn't eat. Before this I was always thinking I wouldn't want to live that way but now I am not so sure anymore.

I think you did the right thing developing a plan for taking your life. Now you are in control of your life instead of being caught in the medical machine like a lot of other people.

A very big tech company releases software updates that contain bugs for their devices with fruit on them. One would think that they could produce software without major problems, but it happens. One would also think that a very big aerospace company could produce products without significant bugs, but it seems that it unfortunately happens too. Talk about a fatal error.

First off, that sucks for your friend. I would hope they would be able to learn programming. I think the policy should be changed, but I'm also not even sure if it's a policy, or if different prisons get to make those decisions.

I think one of the logistical issues is I'm not sure prisoners have great internet access, in terms of either time, size of things downloaded, or having a persistent space to store their own data, if it's on a public computer. I'm not sure for example if they are allowed a laptop in their cell, or something like that. Probably not?

Makes me wonder if there's a way to compile resources on a USB drive that would have the software required, and the books / knowledge, without necessarily accessing the internet, and a place to store files on. Kind of like a class on a stick.
I can think of a few companies that might want to buy Docker. I can think of no company that would buy it at a billion dollar valuation.
I don't think it necessarily needs a monorepo, but having every package on Salsa (Debian's GitLab installation) would help.

My comment will probably get down-voted for this next part, but it's not meant to be mean-spirited, self-righteous, condescending, or anything like that. Just one person's point of view.

The author seems to be hung up on a distinction between two representations and trying to argue that they cannot be the same thing, despite the fact that we have abundant evidence that both are readily interconvertible. Now, I would agree that a neural net that converges to a grammar might not be a grammar, but at that point we would seem to be missing the forest for the trees.

Well where I work is the same way, but presumably it's not the same where the person I was replying to works, since he refers to himself as not having a boss (i.e., presumably he is pretty high up the hierarchy).

And even though managers can't arbitrarily fire you at big/reputable companies, they certainly have a gigantic amount of influence in performance review discussions.

I’ve felt that way before, and it was kind of freeing. I actually went out and did more because my acceptable of risk was higher, and I didn’t worry so much because I was ready for it to all end anyway.
FWIW I came to a somewhat similar conclusion in my mid 20s. Many many years later, and I've come to realize how wrong I was then.

The way to change the politics is to jump in and participate. If you don't, someone else will. Probably not in a way you like. And possibly by someone who is catering to the lunatics you're fearing.
Sure! Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I thought you didn't have a point.
But it probably does have a better chance of motivating change and maybe you are still trying to help. Obviously there are different ways to air your grievances, privately might be better, sure. I'm not sure if you are advocating for leaving without even giving some reasons in private. That to me would be an actively unhelpful way to leave.

In a former life I was a cognitive neuroscience researcher.

This reads like a piece written by someone who heard a neuroscientist take issue with the "brain as computer" metaphor, but didn't quite grasp what it was all about.

The "brain is not a computer" meme has to do with the fact that the brain does not process information in the same way as a digital computer. It is not saying that the brain is not a symbol-processing/computational system.
That's subjective - I would much rather spend a few minutes sorting out the 82 bad ones than miss 9 good reports. (Actually, I would much rather have 18 good reports and spend several minutes trying to see if there's anything of value in the 82 bad ones: see for instance the high-school kid who found the Apple FaceTime vulnerability and who couldn't figure out how to report it.)

One of the principles of the Debian Social Contract reads:

We will not hide problems. We will keep our entire bug report database open for public view at all times. Reports that people file online will promptly become visible to others.

Dissuading people from filing bug reports feels like it's not in the spirit of this principle. You're basically hiding problems because you don't think the problem reporter is worthy.
I’m not sure. Here’s some evidence that it doesn’t always work for cows:

I'd counter that with the fact that DDG returns SO answer cards and various cheatsheets when searched (i.e. "tmux cheatsheet".) I think Google beats DDG in some ways (better news search results, for example.) But DDG is a much better programmer-focused search engine IMO, they just don't market themselves that way.

Back to your bang feature point, I really appreciate that DDG makes it easy to search Google instead by simply using !g. Tech companies don't always make it easy to use a competitor, and there's something to be said for DDG not creating barriers to using other search engines.
Not OP. I've enjoyed "Artificial Intelligence for Games" by Ian Millington. One of the best books in this subject I'd say. Thank you Ian!
Depends on the exact problem definition. This is a small, single-binary server, offering a built-in web UI & API, requiring very little configuration, working with a mobile app for Android phones. Took me 5 minutes to start getting some notifications from things around my house.

Sometimes you don't need a cargo van or a jumbo jet to get the job done when a skateboard will do.
I think the tone of the article was pretty stoic and so I didn't take it as "whining". I believe he just sees no future in an ever growing Debian bureaucracy and decided to voice the reason he is moving on. I've been with Debian since it's inception and can relate to what he is seeing.
>0.6% of 737 MAX aircraft delivered have been lost in unsurvivable accidents... similar numbers to orbital rockets. yikes.

This is what immediately struck me as well. Boeing has delivered 354 aircraft, 2 of which have gone down with all on board in the last 12 months. It's looking like they have a Comet on their hands.
The idea is that your browser is running their site, and their site is trying to be malicious and steal your data for a remote site. Your data there can only be accessed with your cookies/auth, so they can't just do it by themselves, they need your computer/browser. If they try to request the json via XHR, CORS will deny it. If they try to read it using a <script> tag, they can't access the response before the response runs as a script and hangs at the infinite loop.
While this is sad and painful to read, I can't say I'm surprised.

The problems listed are precisely the kind of problems that Redhat strategically supports fedora with, in terms of investment of resources. For all the hate Redhat receives it has consistently been a good community member by being willing to help fedora in areas that it knows are hard and yet not 'cool' enough to attract volunteer contributions.

What has Ubuntu done for the debian community along the same lines?
Do those need to be leaf-free? I mean I thought the point was lawns, with less labor than a rake. But on land far too steep for lawn, can't you just leave things alone?

The stereotype of SW engineers is that we are asocial, as in socially inept, but antisocial (as in breaking the rules of society) AFAIK we are not, if anything the stereotype is the opposite, we are seen as tranquil calm persons (even shy) respecting the laws around us.
I think it's pretty disingenuous to pretend like "true believers" and "blinded by utopian visions" are legitimate talking points when you consider that at the time most countries were recovering from one or two world wars and there was a literal standing army of Nazis with known explicit goals to eradicate and/or dominate Jews and Socialists.

This isn't "you gotta crack some eggs to make an omelet", this is "everybody is cracking eggs and you're next".

If anything, you're expressing a heavily idealized version of a very complex, difficult, and dangerous time.
You're exaggerating the impact of that layout decision. I use many keyboards (including ortholinear) and this is never really a problem.

You can always remap the dot key to be only be triggered when pressed with super or fn key (and that can also work with shift).
You could add the following CSS to the container (`.row` here but you should make the class name a bit more specific) which will stack the sidebar and your content into a backwards column (so the sidebar shows up after scrolling past the content, which looks and feels ok for a quick & scrappy mobile fix.

display: flex;
flex-direction: reverse-column;

Put that in a media query to only target phones/small devices.

Feel free to message me if you're confused and would prefer a fast PR, but you strike me as someone who wouldn't mind learning a bit & I'm in Morocco with limited internet.

If you use your own CA you have to make sure all your apps trust it. With the public CAs that's not a problem because all the standard libraries usually trust them, and often 'apt-get install ca-certificates' is all you need to do.

>"Software combined with sensors would ensure the airplane would not tilt upward at an unsafe rate. The combination of the two would keep the nose at the precise right angle during all aspects of flight to prevent a potential stall.

This immediately struck me as completely negligent insanity. The thought of flying on a commercial airliner with no inherent stability, akin to a fighter jet, is horrifying to me. How this got past regulators is just mindblowing.
I use Docker for development stuff too. I (and team members) have spent countless hours battling with setting up things like RabbitMQ, and I only wish I'd done it sooner - being able to instantly spin up a working, consistent development environment is amazing.

I know you can do this with VMs too, with tools like Vagrant, but containers start in a couple of seconds - great for integration tests.
I have read that the reason pilots were not informed of the software and procedure changes is that part of Boeings sales pitch for the 737 Max was that it would require minimal re-training of pilots who had already been flying earlier 737's.
>We didn’t exist before birth

At the risk of sounding all "woo-woo", this statement bears some qualification.

How do you define existence, here? Are you equating it with consciousness? Surely your constituent parts (atoms, molecules, particles, etc) existed before your consciousness, and continue to do so afterwards.

I think you'll also agree that the arrangement of matter and energy you call "your life" is regulated by natural processes.

In principle, it's possible for the thing you call "your life" to be a brief window within some larger process (a meta-life, if you will) of which you have no recollection.

I don't know if I believe any of this to be true, but metaphysically speaking, it's not at all obvious that we "didn't exist before birth".
> You can cast your vote as often as you want; only the last vote cast counts. So someone could coerce you to vote A (often a spouse), but afterwards you just go and vote again for B.

How does this help you? If some one can coerce you once, they can coerce you again (and coerce you in showing when you voted last). Your assumption seems to be that the person forcing one does not understand the system.

"thats how we did it before" is the number one inhibitor in the name of progress.

Remember your windows pre updates. Full of security holes and no way to patch, or bugs that linger and create problems that could never be fully eliminated.

Let me tell you something you didnt think of. Imagine i am doing my diligence before releasing a software but didnt fully factor in all the unknowns in the process. It happens, shit breaks all the time, right? Now imagine instead of uncontrollably calling everyone in house, i start 1% roll out, and gather data, find some problems with that investigate and push the real fix. See the efficiency gains? I prevented the chaos of 99% of cars, and i did somrthing data driven

Good luck on that without an ota.

This was addressed in the article; the overall sound output was much more dense in the equivalent two stroke versus a battery powered options at 75dB.

The lower frequencies generated in the two stroke options output link to human biological issues over time as well as the distance traveling issue of the sound at the heart of the article.
