Sure it is; those that know the difference. Just call it something else. Like horseradish for instance. Which is what it is.
I tried Revise and the fact that it doesn't require you to restart Julia doesn't mean that it allows you to change code on the fly. It means that you don't have to close the REPL and restart it and that you don't have to explicitly reload code. To see the effects of a change to a function invoked in a loop you have to wait for the loop to complete and return back to the REPL. This is not really SO interactive. In CL you see the effect of any change immediatly at the next iteration of the loop.
What Revise does is to automatically recompile updated code by detecting changes automatically. I hope that this interpreter brings the same level of interactivity as CL. I'll try it for sure.

If an app for kids said that you could reach a magical land of unicorns and rainbows by drinking a cup of Bleach, do you believe Google should be obliged to host that app?

If we can establish that yes, some advice is far too harmful to allow propagate, then we can accept that we have to draw lines as to what constitutes harmful advice. Which then brings us back to the core point: Would conversion therapy constitute harmful advice?

Considering statistically it seems to increase the rate of suicide in people exposed to it and does not actually succeed at what it's supposed to do, I think it would be reasonable for a person to consider it harmful advice.
> When do you call high blood pressure too high? Greater than 140 mmHg? 130? Someone has to pick an arbitrary threshold for practical reasons.

We have no choice but to stratify disease into low, medium and high when there are only low, medium and high dose interventions.

For the most part, this works because individualisation is such a pain.

But if individualisation wasn’t, you’d get 1 of a thousand different doses to optimize and eek out slight additional benefits.

We could apply high frequency trading algos to an implanted infuser, or deep brain stimulator or wearable TMS when we get around to accepting/funding them for more common and non-extreme diseases.
That's a great news! I search for a new general use (for me) language. I come from C++ and C land. I don't like Python for bigger projects, because of it's typing regime, performance and white space significance. So far Julia seems nice and improvement in tooling is always welcome, because tooling is crucial for the language survival.

A side question: How is Julia for web development? I'm not really a web developer and my mindset is more in realms of C, shell and CGI or Go. I mean a small to mid scale operation so SQLite integration is probably enough and Julia has a package for that.
He also posts a negative comment about Tesla in every Tesla thread -- I guess this is his hobby or something.
This is 2 different problems you've coupled.

The first problem is people shaming people with conditions they can't control. The second, unrelated, problem is how to act on the effects of the condition.

For example:

Someone feels a strong desire to cut off their own limb[1]. They are told by important people in their lives that is shameful, they can internalize that shame. Conversion therapy reinforces these feelings, etc. leading to increased anxiety, suicide, etc.

This is how I perceive you have framed the issue.

If you decouple the two problems you can solve them one at a time.

Firstly, you need to solve the problem of people emotionally abusing those with conditions they can't control. Secondly you need to solve the problem of how to deal with the effects of the condition.

Now the narrative goes like this:

Someone feels a strong desire to cut off their own limb[1]. They are told by important people in their lives that things like this happen, and not to feel bad for something beyond their control, and that they are there to support them. The person with BIID now has a choice - they can act on their condition and get the limb amputated, or they can attempt therapy to try to mitigate the effects of the condition.

This same logic can and should be applied to any mental condition from pedophilia to BIID to gender dysphoria.

Therapy should be available to adults for any unwanted mental condition, even LGBT-related ones.

"Firefox is developed by a non-profit company, Mozilla, explicitly dedicated to users' needs. Google and Microsoft make money off of users in different ways and we can never be sure that their business decisions are going to align with what we would want as users."

This gives short shrift to what is a complex set of interdependencies.

All these browsers rely on the existence of web advertising, including Firefox.

Are web ads among "users' needs"? Who decides what comprise users' needs? Users?

The reality is that whatever Mozilla defines as "users' needs" will also, at least in part, represent the needs of the company authoring the competing web browser.
That is because the Firefox authors are paid indirectly from the coffers of their competitor.

Mozilla Foundation cannot take a stand against web advertising because its competitors rely on web advertising to make money. And Mozilla Foundation in turn relies on money from its competitors to pay its employees. Mozilla is aligned to some extent with the business decisions of its competitor.

Ideally employees of Mozilla Foundation would be volunteers and Mozilla Foundation would pay them solely from donations from users. This is not what happens.

Mozilla Corporation (for-profit) can, e.g., sell access to Firefox users' searches to Mozilla's competitors. e.g., Google. The profits might then be used to pay Mozilla Foundation employees. Some of those employees might leave and go to work for Google to start a competing browser.

Firefox may be the lesser of multiple evils, but let's be honest it is not solely dedicated to users' needs. It has its own needs -- paying 100's of employees -- and, given the current arrangement, it must to some extent serve the needs of its competitor in order to meet them.

If for example there was a user who did not wish to support the web ads business then Mozilla's decisions could never align 100% with what that user would want because she does not want to support the web ads business. Mozilla is paying employees by doing business with a competitor that gathers user data and sells access to users to advertisers.

I am not downplaying the value of Mozilla. I am only pointing out that they are probably not 100% aligned with all users. They are also partially aligned with their competitor who is selling ads in order to make money.

Counter anecdote since that's what you're doing: I have lived in downtown Oakland for 5 years and have had zero issues with any kind of crime.

Statistics are more valuable than the weight either of us put on our good/bad personal experiences.

Mixing up homelessness and adiction with serious violent crime in a single statement and saying both need to be dealt with by increasing policing is an very imprecise and inefficient way of addressing different issues.

Not exactly. Before recorded music, a live band (or one man show!) was the only game in town. It was either that or silence. Everywhere that wanted to fill that silence had to hire musicians.
> In the US at least, the 21 yo drinking age is mostly a wholly pragmatic law [EDIT: laws. It's state by state but there was a big federal stick attached to highway funding.] to reduce teenage drunk driving (which affects more than the individual).

To add another voice of dissent to the Danish poster's point of view, in Australia, you can drink at any age with parental consent (though child abuse laws would come into play if you do anything ridiculous) and you start to get your license at around 16 depending on the state.

Also, getting a full license in my state is a much involved process. It takes around 5 years if you aim to get it as young as possible: 1 year of supervised driving with a fully licensed passenger (there must be 120 hours of driving until you move to the next stage), then 1 year of a limited probationary license ("red P's") and finally 3 years of a less limited probationary license ("green P's").

Throughout this entire process, you cannot have _any_ alcohol in your blood while driving.

I think this, plus public awareness of drunk driving, is much better than just restricting drinking until you're 21. It means that usually, before you even get behind the wheel, you've had years to experience the effects of alcohol and get the thrill of it out of your system. Then once you're driving, you get used to the idea that you can't even have "just a little bit".
A good place to start is with a simple description that you can carry in your pocket: MMT proposes that a country with its own currency, such as the U.S., doesn’t have to worry about accumulating too much debt because it can always print more money to pay interest. So the only constraint on spending is inflation, which can break out if the public and private sectors spend too much at the same time. As long as there are enough workers and equipment to meet growing demand without igniting inflation, the government can spend what it needs to maintain employment and achieve goals such as halting climate change.

Today's inflation manifests itself, not in consumer price increases, but in asset bubbles. Asset bubbles always pop, usually uncontrollably.

The last major asset bubble nearly took out the US economy with it. The next one may finish the job.

Debt matters because the only politically palatable cure for the aftermath of a debt-fueled bubble is more debt. And more bubbles.
First: You can buy straight from Amazon even if you don't have Prime.

Second: Using their store makes you their customer. If I go into a store and buy a product, giving them my credit card number to purchase merchandise they advertised, that store can't claim that I'm not really their customer, that they're just a distribution platform for the manufacturer, and that they're not responsible for the counterfeit they just sold me.

> Bitcoin is an asset -- "always represent more value" is another way of saying "increase in value". What's the thesis here -- Bitcoin will decrease in value because it will increase in value? I think you'd do well to take a moment to digest what your argument is.

Where am I saying that bitcoin will decrease in value? Bitcoin is a deflationary currency, not an inflationary one.

If bitcoin was the only game in town, it would always (disregarding short-term cycles) increase in value, because the economy is growing.

Scaling Relational Databases with Apache Spark SQL and DataFrames
Psychiatrists can prescribe medication (I think the "ch" are related - psychiatry and chemical?). They can do what I'd call "conversational therapy" but they're main job is dealing with medication.

Psychologists are usually more of a traditional conversational therapy - and there's different forms of that, CBT, DBT, etc.

Social workers - I'm not 100% sure but in my experience they're more of a "intermediary" - they diagnose and refer you to an appropriate therapy. That or they're more of a "general psychologist" say with a school. I don't think you really meet with them regularly. There's a huge shortage of Psychiatrists/Psychologists at least here in Michigan, and a becoming a social worker requires less schooling I believe.

(I've suffered from depression for years, I've met many doctors, social workers, etc. and currently see a Psychologist and Psychiatrist regularly)

Yeah - Google are definitely different to Amazon, but I'm not sure the Google Cloud part of Google can take credit for all the cool software Google release.

And I'll give Amazon credit for Lambda and Kinesis, but at least in my head, S3 is just ludicrous-scale BerekleyDB (or any of the persist-to-disk forks of memcached including the one I wrote back when it was still written in Perl).

KiCad is rapidly becoming truly good; I strongly suggest anyone interested to give it a try. It isn't OrCad or Altium, but it's now very compelling, and it is already better than Eagle.
Yup. This is my point. Granted, I'm mainly speaking from anecdotes myself here, but the only place I ever hear about how terrible Amazon is because of counterfeits is here or reddit (rarely reddit.)

I'd wager that modern vinyls and record players are significantly better than those produced in the 60-70s, so you get very decent sound.

Julia's main focus is on scientific computing. Basically think of it as a Matlab or Python + Numpy or even a C++ replacement for numeric computing.

A lot of the libraries are focused on optimization, differential equations, statistics, matrix operations...those sorts of things. It doesn't have classes in the way you would probably think (not really an OO language).

Probably because most guns are illegal so we don’t need them.

Yeah, I don't see the "move to a different state or country" much less of a barrier. As if people ever moved countries just to get e.g. Netflix or some chain they don't have at theirs?
Obey & Survive
It was not "that" or silence. You're not considering that learning to play a musical instrument was itself more common. Performing music was a community activity people used to entertain themselves; the hiring of musicians was for the wealthy aristocracy.
> x86 can't multiply two 128 bit numbers at a time.

What's happening here then? Are these not two 128-bit integers? One's a 64-bit recasted to 128-bit, the other a 128-bit constant. Code would be doing faulty math, if it just decides to drop any bits. Coincidence, maybe, that the upper half of the recasted is in this case 0x0, but the code must work for 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF as well, and probably does too.

"Cattle class" is an established joke, best employed by those actually riding in it.

"Don't sit with the cattle" is (IMHO) pretty harsh, and unnecessary.

And, for the record, cattle class seats are (or were) about the size of first-class airline seats, in the days before the bed capsules. It's not a cabin but it might be the least-cramped train seating you will ever encounter.

It's because of the artificial scarcity caused by the copyright laws. Now, with cheap digital distribution, that's changed a lot, even though you can't (legally) copy music and pass it around in most places. So it's going back to performances being the place for musicians to make money: the recorded music is how they advertise mostly, and then they make their real money by getting out on the road and performing in front of big crowds.

I think you should seek out someone whose priority is understanding your problems and helping you understand them. Practitioners from any of the groups you mentioned can take that approach but not all do. My opinion is that, all things being equal, a psychologist or psychiatrist with an analytic approach is the best general purpose choice.
The arrest rates at least are given per 10,000 juveniles, not as an absolute number, for exactly the reason you mention. Some of the other numbers aren't adjusted though.

> it's just an EQ on the original recording

I'll be pedantic and say that it's actually not just an EQ, but a non-linear compression function. The needle has a different frequency response at different amplitudes, due to its mechanical properties. They used to master music specifically for that, but now they just cut the Spotify master into the record and hope everyone attributes the sound differences to "analog warmth".
It’s no YouTube video haha but Wikipedia has a pretty good description of the rules [1]. Everyone needs a license, long guns you’re free to own unregistered, everything else requires registration.

"> The chemical-imbalance theory, like the revamped DSM, may fail as science, but as rhetoric it has turned out to be a wild success.

This has always been my issue with psychology. It is inherently unscientific."

To be clear, the chemical imbalance theory and the DSM are part of psychiatry, not psychology.

Broadly speaking, the difference between the two fields is that while they attempt to treat the same issues, mainstream psychiatry (at least for the last 50 years) views the root cause as biological; psychology looks at social or environmental factors.

If you replace "psychology" with "psychiatry" in your comment, it would make more sense.
I was baffled with the style transfer announcement. It seems arbitrary, random, and out-of-place. Style transfer (applied to art) is really neat, but I can't see it being used to re-clothe games for production.

Before I get downvoted, yes I do think it could be useful for prototyping and conceptualization during development, but I doubt anyone would actually ship a complete game with the entire camera view transformed by style transfer.
Maybe hire is the wrong idea. I meant more generally, “provide a venue for...”.
That's a rather naive view apparently based on a consumer-level underestimation of the complexities of asset management and funding on a big movie/show.

I'd guess from a studio's POV the trade-off is between spending money updating an ancient show in the hope of making a little cash now and a little more from residuals, and making new shows which are more or less guaranteed to bring a profit.

But that aside, I'm not sure there's any way to make something like Star Trek public domain. Never mind the studio - the actors, writers, and producers will still be relying on residuals for continuing income.

And even if that weren't true - what exactly do you make public domain? You can't just hand out the original unedited film stock to anyone who asks for it. How about the scores for the music? Or the audio mix files? Or the EDL? Or the various revisions of the scripts? Props? Set carpentry - if there's any left? Wiring?

Reality: very few elements are digital files that can be copied/shared, even if you wanted to allow the public to copy/share them.
