I learned that you can have a birthday every 10'ish months and no one will notice. (Except for people who actually know when it's your birthday obviously.) More than that and people will start to catch on.
It's good enough, but more importantly, that's where people already are.
Are there any F/OSS for this? I imagine you'd have to run the gross equivalent of a mining pool server.
Norway is very simple too. Most people can just do nothing at all. The way it works is that the tax authority creates a proposed tax record and notifies you by SMS or email or both or even by letter if you ask for it. If you agree that it is correct you don't need to do anything at all, otherwise you log in to the web site and adjust whatever needs adjusting in a bunch of simple forms.

The tax authorities also have a duty to calculate the taxes in the way that benefits you most.
I definitely think you're right that as ORMs move farther away from the bare SQL abstractions leak and when things break they break in bizarre hard to grok ways.

But I also think that heavier duty ORMs have their place. Recent circumstances have meant that I'm building out a lot of applications from start to finish in one to three weeks. These applications deal with very little data, the largest tables are in the 1000's of records and in circumstances like that I need crank developer productivity to 11 and for that I'm willing to sacrifice performance and simplicity. And for that EF has been a great companion.

I've also used a combination of EF and DACPAC. Where I used DACPAC to manage the schema and migrations and used EF for CRUD and that's been a pretty great combo.
And I definitely have to drop down to sql, especially for reporting/analysis type queries.
This is true, but I think it's worth mentioning that core.async lets you freely mix "full threads" with work scheduled from a thread pool. You use the same channels for both. You do the lightweight stuff in go blocks, and the I/O heavy work in a `(thread)`, where you use `<!!` and `>!!` for blocking gets and puts, respectively.

I find this to be amazingly flexible. You are right in saying that it's a gotcha: you do not want to do I/O heavy work in go blocks in general.

It is also worth noting that core.async works just as well in ClojureScript, which when you thing of it is pretty amazing. No threads there, of course.

There‘s a relative to Helvetica, Unica, with quite an interesting story:
https://lineto.com/Lineto.com/Frontpage+Features/LL+Unica77/
+1 for Univers!

Honestly, it's right there in the names. Helvetica projects a very Swiss Modern feel to it. Sometimes that's what you want, sometimes it's not. Univers is the most neutral typeface around that's got any personality at all. (I've always felt Haas Unica and many of the modern sans faces, especially the "brand" ones, have so little character to them that they're just completely bland and uninteresting.) Univers just... is. It's Frutiger's best design, and that's saying something.

Other favorites of mine include Trade Gothic (& friends) and Futura. I'm a huge fan of the 1930s-1970s "industrial" look, like you might find stamped on motor nameplates for heavy machinery, or the Apollo cockpits, or the IBM 360 consoles. These designs just scream _solid_ in a way that modern stuff... doesn't. (Maybe because it isn't.)

(Tangent to a tangent: does anyone know what typeface HP used on their equipment in the '70s through '90s? It's a very close cousin to Univers, but not identical. Maybe something internal only? I don't think it's just an odd cut of any of the usual suspects either. This is another typeface that has always connoted reliability and stuff that Just Works to me.)

Still, though, like you, I'd say Univers is my favorite more days than not. If I had to pick only one typeface, it'd be the one (more days than not)... just don't make me do that :)
> And it’s unclear such resources are being ‘stolen’ if it’s stated in the sites ToS.

Unless I, as a user, explicitly consented to crypto mining, no such thing should be allowed to take place. Same thing goes for auto playing videos.
Please see my other comment about using the same channels and calling I/O-heavy (blocking) functions from a `(thread)` instead of from a go block. You indeed shouldn't call blocking functions from go blocks, but core.async gives you the option of freely mixing separate threads and go blocks.
I really wish they would add memegen to G Suite.
> Politicians don’t put the bribes in their pockets.

That is also my understating. That is where the revolving door comes in. Many a career Senator or House member has capped off a career with a lobbying job. It's also good to note that most people who ever sit in the House or Senate were quite wealthy before running. You kind of have to be.

The Verge also did an interview with the designers [1]; I prefer The Verge interview to the Creative Boom announcement [2] that's the article link at the time of writing, because the interview adds detail behind the design process and reads much less like a marketing announcement.

Truly the most amusing thing about the new typefaces are the alternate forms of certain iconic letters. The alternate forms are more classically resemble the legendary Akzidenz-Grotesk, in the tradition of paring back the few flourishes that Helvetica did have.

Ironically some of the alternate forms also make it resemble Arial, Monotype's famous metric-identical Helvetica clone, despite Monotype's long insistence that Arial is less grotesk and more humanist. But I also found the not-sure-if-serious dissing of Arial to be mostly signalling and snobbery. Other alternate forms seem a bit odd, as if someone was playing 'design your own sans-serif typeface' and filled out the missing cells of a big row-column table for completion, like here's a geometric 't', and a humanist 'l'.

But all that aside, the new typefaces look nice and are redrawn with purpose. The micro variant actually makes Helvetica usable at small sizes for the first time. It's a well-crafted family in the honor of a classic.

Tactical Osint – Learn How to Use Osint for Pentesting and Security
So let's say I'm in a regime where I'd like to train something like a language model RNN on a private text dataset. If I train the RNN directly on the data then I'm essentially leaking private data to the output. Do you know of any approaches to generate fake data using GANs, train a language model on that fake data and still get a good classifier that does well on test data while still quantifying how much private data is being leaked?

Related: do GANs work well as a data augmentation technique and can their exact contribution to how much a model could potentially be improved be quantified.

EDIT: Added some clarifications
Good question.

I think there are a few ways to do this e.g.:

1) multiple certifications as mentioned above;

2) brand recognition / brand responsibility (the analogy is myself with the South African butter); and an option that I have suggested which amounts to

3) an/multiple environmental quotient(s) that would score higher if you have a nature reserve on the farm, use less pesticides, use compost, etc.

But, unfortunately, unless you are remarkably well informed on all the suppliers, you simply can't always know. There is an app in France that tries to do this, but I am sure that also opens the door to corruption. In the next 10 years I expect to see more such apps.
My system doesn't have 32GB RAM, and I really don't want that because my users don't have 32GB of RAM, they have 4GB. I don't want to get in the habit of just throwing away RAM because some target devices may have much less available, and I may want to port to such limited devices (phones, Raspberry Pi, small VPS instances, etc) where RAM is hard to come by or expensive.

An app's resource use should just justified by what the app does. It's really telling when a 3D game engine uses about the same resources as an electron app.
I've got a decent coin collection going, and a few legitimately noteworthy pieces like ancient coinage and what I call my conflict diamonds (South Vietnam, Japanese occupation currency, Somali coins, etc.), but I think it's ending up a lot like stamps. Except for the very high end museum quality collections, little of most personal collections is worth very much (except in currency its face or bullion value), and I do it purely for the historicity of the artifacts.
I think Asylum is no the appropriate category for this. Instead create a "brain drain" visa specifically aimed at them.
Even just proof that 5c worth of crypto or something was burned would would a good alternative. Let the site/app designer work out how often it needs to happen (maybe just the first few times if they're new) to stop spam and not cost honest users much
Unfortunately, our sense of prosperity seems to be relative.

If 90% of the town has a free house and free food, but the other 10% live in bigger, safer, cleaner houses and are eating better testing/healthier food, I don't think the 90% will be as excited.

I think most humans strive for the best available rather than being content with the minimum they really need. This probably isn't a great way to find happiness but it is a pretty powerful motivator.

I took the deep reinforcement nanodegree and was disappointed. The course had several instructors, only one of whom I thought was a really good teacher.

When you're competing with free material like the David Silver lectures you need to produce something really awesome to justify a $1k cost. I think the potential was there, and the partnership with Unity helped, but overall it felt disorganized, outsourced, and of insufficient quality (after the first section which was awesome).

Hopefully Thrun brings a renewed focus on course quality as well.
The ICC seems like a racket.

>Its model codes and standards are developed by committees made up of volunteers from its membership and ICC staff. The ICC lobbies for the code to be enacted into law, and earns revenue by selling code books and running accreditation programs.

They are the ones that come up with rules to follow, then they lobby the government to make the rules into law, and then sell access to the rules/law. How is this not a racket?

Not only that - aren't they also a monopoly that is abusing their monopoly position?
It's too late. Firefox already has compatibility issues with sites I use heavily. There's a much better chance I'd use the new Chromium based Edge than Firefox at this point. And with it's usage share dropping...if moral superiority is the only thing Firefox has going for it, it's a sinking ship. Having more contributors/users of Chromium/Blink seems to be a better path towards a less Google-dominated browser landscape at this point.
Engel’s Pause
I took about 80% of the Introduction of K8S without certificate. The content is brief, very brief, or you can say that it is shallow in terms of details. But I found it very informative for bootstrapping the first steps if you know nothing about that field. The big picture is pretty clear, clear enough for you to digest other real resources or materials.

Fundamental courses might be solid. I once scanned some courses like Signal Processing and I think one can real learn the subject from the course.
But it's really not a one-off. This has become modern day marketing tactics. Guarantee someone gave a presentation today to a bunch of execs about how to manipulate a percentage of your users to achieve [x] goal by lightly "nudging" them.

It still feels like 3-6 months is far too short for a curriculum for people making career changes, as there is a great deal of depth for each topic covered.

For example, in their Robotics Software Engineering degree, one of the topics they cover is Mapping and SLAM. That topic alone is a full university course and a specialization, i.e. Cyrill Stachniss' lectures on YouTube.

I think online courses try too hard to squeeze too much material in a short time, whereby students only acquire a superficial understanding of a topic.

Lol. Ifs, buts, shoulda-beens, almost-weres. I'm sure most successes flirt with failure at some point. So what? There's no arguing that both men created immense value. It's totally appropriate that they're lauded for it.

I don't know why you're trying to be such a spoilsport about it. Don't begrudge smart, hardworking people their success, it makes you look like a bitter wingnut. I mean, really: Microsoft and Apple are shams? That's the hill you want to defend?

The elephant in the room of functional languages is that they all, somehow, fundamentally depend on garbage collected memory management. This GC is never coded in the functional language itself. Why? Because functional languages are very, very bad at resource management.

Real programs typically need to manage resources besides memory. So, they look good depending on GC for toy problems, but fail to graduate from their sandbox.

The only powerful languages not dependent on GC are C++ and Rust. They have facilities to manage any resources needed, and that are equally adept at managing memory.

As a consequence, it is possible to write libraries for these languages that can work in any program.

Programs in obligate-GC languages always need to compromise some aspect of GC to be practical, but that makes them incompatible with the majority of libraries. Thus, you don't see good library ecosystems grow up around them.

A functional language that did not depend on GC could be useful, but academics would kneecap it immediately. Academia absolute detests the idea of non-obligate-GC languages, for purely tribal reasons.
While I wouldn't say my thought is strictly verbal, I often form understanding by letting my verbal stream of consciousness ruminate. I starts off as a technical almost schizophrenic rambling. Over time, as my stream of consciousness passes over the same ideas, they become coarser grained and easier to express to other people. Unfortunately easier != easy since I still need to translate from my idiosyncratic vocabulary to normal human speak.

I left Google about a month ago and use Github now. Things I miss:

- the ability to batch all comments in a single send. GitHub has the problem where replies are immediate and don’t necessarily represent the PR state.

- built-in fixes and lints that show up as comments

- the ability to diff between snapshots instead of losing all previous context every force push to a Github PR.

- Github’s diff is really bad for code moving or changing indentation.

- auto submit if tests pass and you have an lgtm. It’s frustrating having to wait for tests that will probably pass.
Well, the felons never stop being prisoners in the time they work. This tends to result in an unmotivated workforce no matter what the activity. No only this project but most prison labor projects fail.
I disagree. I think that if the codes are legally binding (and the government funds them) then they should be created by a government body. Private entities shouldn't be making money off of creating regulation. That's literally the job of the government.

These are used by python's documentation tools to extract documentation from running objects by importing and examining __doc__ of objects, instead of extracting docs from comments like Java or c++ doxygen. It also makes it easier to document python modules written in c since you just attach their docstrings and examine them at runtime same as any python module

Either pythons stdlib crappy pydoc module

`python -m pydoc -w ModuleName`

the simple pdoc tool

`/path/to/pdoc --html ModuleName`

or the complicated and fully featured sphinx (too complicated for a single command

`sphinx-apidoc ModuleName` to generate a default project

and `make`/`make.bat` to run it
)

They are also useful print help in repl (with `help(obj)` or `obj?` in IPython)

Also in python comments are everything after a hash # till end of line.

Non assigned Literal strings in python are just literal objects not comments.

If they are the first thing in a class/function they become the class/function/method __doc__ attribute.

If they aren't they have no use but are simply created and then garbage collected because there are no references pointing to them(cpython the default python implementation uses reference counting and the occasional cleanup of unreachable cycles so it would be deleted right after creation). Its the same with literal numbers or dictionaries.

def a():
5
[]
"whoop de do"

is a legal (and totally pointless) python function that will do nothing(other then allocate then cleanup some objects).
Nowhere there did the authors "embrace" fork(). Quite the contrary.

While the article points out that the NT kernel natively supports fork, it certainly isn't arguing for any extension of the call.

So all we're left with is "extinguish", which this article certainly does. And it is persuasive. I will look at posix_spawn() for my own code in the future.

In fact, I would go even further and say that it should be illegal to force somebody to follow laws and regulations that are not publicly and easily accessible. By this I mean that people enforcing this or pushing for it should be punished. It's basically racketeering.
That is only true as far as the site owner knows of and understands the consequences of their actions. I would be extremely surprised if more than 10% of their users understand this. Whether they care is a whole other matter, but this is very likely ignorance rather than malice on the part of site owners.
Do you have a list of those sites? I use Firefox as my only browser and I honestly haven't had to use chrome for anything beyond debugging web stuff on chrome.

I'm sure Mozilla would be very interested in fixing any issues there are.

However, most of the issues seem to be hard-coding to Chrome's nonstandard quirks, which is really a sad state of affairs. Do we really want a more cross platform IE? Because that's what we're getting if everyone jumps to chrome-based browsers.

"What if Walmart decided to have the greeters at half of their stores be rude to customers and compare sales numbers? Would that require advance consent? "

To me, this could definitely qualify as "psychological experiments" if it were intentional as you describe. Most likely a failed and useless experiment though, but that's due to the medium and the difficulty to implement correctly (how would you guarantee none of your greeters step out of line? What if you wanted to quickly evolve and modify the experiment?).

The fact is that it's much easier to run these sort of experiments on a web site than it is in meat space. It can also be much subtler and far more specific. It would be impossible to manipulate the variations in the real world as efficiently (or at all) like you can online.

The ability to actually do this stuff efficiently and at scale is pretty recent, and we ought to consider and deliberate over the consequences.

Ai Hashtags – Generate smart hashtags from your pictures
I like what udacity is doing overall but I think they've failed to really comprehend the nature of the education industry in the United States. Overall, the biggest problems are simply perceptions by employers in terms of what is considered a quality education. First, employers don't view self-studied or online education to be good. Second problem is employers overwhelmingly gravitate towards traditional degrees from government or private universities. This ends up corrupting the entire fabric of education.

Students, seeking some sort of way to make themselves marketable in the job market, will only obtain education if it results in some sort of valuable degree. Hence the reason people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands to obtain these degrees.

If you really want to disrupt education then you need to be directly figuring out how to change those perceptions. Start with the basics of making educational courses that would be considered the best in the world and then leverage the powerful benefits of an internet connected computer to create the best learning experience for the student. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. The way universities are teaching now is good but it is just not efficient and too costly overall. Take what works from traditional universities and then solve the weaknesses through the benefits of a computer.

When I took udacity courses I just felt that the quality wasn't fully there. They felt more like something that would be a supplemental project you would take if you were studying a traditional course. You still need a way to obtain those key foundation skills before tackling the bigger projects.
