I don't know...I don't care much about the specific degree of weather(fahrenheit has a finer integer resolution than celcius, but celcius users manage just fine talking about the weather without going to fractions). It's really irrelevant to my life what the exact temperature is between 68 and 80 degrees. I may adjust my plans if the temperature is outside that range, but not if it is within that range.
After logging into netlify drag and drop a folder and you have a new site. Or deploy with a git push. Setup netlify cms to push changes to the git repo. Setup a build command to run hugo etc on netlify. Push lamda functions. Setup rewrite rules in a config file. Mirror their setup locally with the new dev feature.

Possible... but I don't think so. I believe the hatred is pretty visceral. For one Taleb is/was pro-Trump, Silver definitely not. Taleb, despite being a professor/author/elite in his own way is pretty anti-elitist in rhetoric, again very different from Silver. Personality-wise, Taleb is pretty abrasive and has very few 'friends' in the public sphere that I know of, despite the high profile of his work--this is regardless if you think he is right or wrong.
I think what I've described is possible given the API documentation.

In my mind there are 2 defining axes of data science:

The first is Statistics <-> Machine Learning.
On one hand, you can be a data scientist that primarily uses statistics to model user behavior, create metrics, test hypotheses that then inform product design. On the other hand, you can prototype and develop machine learning systems (recommendation engines, predictive analytics etc).

The second axis is developing production code. Some data scientists live in their notebooks and analyses and never write code that directly makes it into production. Others are expected to sit alongside the SWEs and write production level code for the models they have created.

Examples: Data Scientists at Google are statistics heavy and not often writing production code (though this varies by team). On the other hand Quora Data Scientists are mostly developing machine learning models and are expected to write production level code to implement these.
Looks fun!

Nothing beats personal experience. The last Sun I've used was Blade 100, which is almost 20 years ago, indeed. At that time, GNU tools were vastly superior.

It also happens to be time, since when the Real Unix(R) is dead. Yes, there is an occasional zombie, but that doesn't change the point. So they caught up with GNU? Who cares today?
Thanks for the feedback! I went with a minimalistic concept and focused on the game mechanics and the design of the characters/enemies plus the various menus. I am currently working on improving some of the backgrounds like the dungeon feeling you mentioned.

The game pretty much starts in it so the second and third screenshot are fights you already do inside the dungeon so I totally get your point!

Being my first iOS game I am really curious to see and hear reactions and shape it along the way. I was really lucky to be able to collaborate with friends on assets and music to keep it free and without the annoying ads.
This is dangerous and would increase fuel usage. If the EU taxed jet fuel, airlines would then do several things:

1. They would load up with maximum fuel for inbound flights. Carrying all this extra fuel means they need to burn a bit more fuel for the inbound flight.

2. They would skimp on fuel for outbound flights. This produces a risk of a low-fuel emergency.

3. Many outbound flights would stop just outside the EU for fuel. The additional stop would burn more fuel. Norway, Iceland, Russia, Switzerland, Serbia, Ukraine, and Turkey would all become busy refueling stops.

I've been really happy using Netlify (with Jekyll) for https://www.checkbot.io/ - I didn't have to think about server admin at all when I got traffic spikes from Hacker News and Product Hunt traffic, and development features make working on the website really straightforward.

Features I like:

- Git based deploys automatically when you make a commit

- Git based rollbacks if there's a problem with the latest commit

- non-master Git branches are automatically deployed for preview

- automatic CDN + HTTPS setup

- no servers to admin i.e. they deal with security, scaling and configuration for you

- they do instant cache invalidation of images/CSS/JS files for you so there's no stale files being served after deploys

- before deploying you can run complex build scripts on Netlify to generate files to be deployed e.g. any static site generator you want to use, run arbitrary NPM scripts, you can download data that to be rendered on to a page

- you can use Netlify CMS as a friendly web interface to edit blog posts, articles and FAQs. It's easy enough for non-technical people so it's possible to use for standard business websites that would normally require something more complex to admin like WordPress.

You can cobble together something like the above yourself but Netlify makes it simple and robust so you can get on with more important things.

People that say you can do something similar with e.g. a Digital Ocean droplet are missing the point and are for sure paying with their time. If you've worked in web dev for a while you've probably tried to automate many of the above features yourself but it's just never going to be as robust as a service that has a dedicated support team behind it.
Geocities was enormously popular for good reasons.

However, I don’t think it had the ability to preview a deploy or roll it back with 100% certainty that it will be exactly as was before, which is something you really need when deploying is (too) easy.
This is probably the biggest thing that lead me towards self learning, I always felt like I was stuck with gatekeepers in the way.
Taleb in person at a talk is very different than Taleb with a bottle of wine on Twitter.

To both of their credit, they’ve expanded my knowledge of probability and statistics.
As I understand it, the feud in its current form started from a tweet from Dinesh D'Souza [1] in which he interpreted Nate Silver's statement that "Dems, GOP winning House are 'both extremely possible'" to mean that they had gone from an 80% chance of winning to a 50% chance.

Taleb inexplicably chose this as the hill to die on [2] and wrote a lengthy and technical paper to refute, and replied (on the [2] thread) "When someone says are event and its opposite are extremely possible I infer either 1) 50/50 or 2) the predictor is shamelessly hedging, in other words, BS."

I've often found Taleb's ideas to be profound and interesting, and unfortunately offset by his arrogance and occasionally cryptic pronouncements and colorful colloquial "Brooklyn-ese" intentional misspellings of words (like "gabish" for "capisce"). But in this case I'm having trouble following what his criticism even is -- forecasts, especially probability forecasts, are hard, and evaluating them is hard -- the dimensions of skill vs. calibration vs. precision are hard to evaluate, and Nate Silver does a fairly good job of describing the tension.

So we are back to square one. If automation makes whole populations jobless, then we should be ready to take care of them. If it doesn’t, we are good as we were. Therefore, if automation makes unemployment go up, those unemployed should have a plan waiting for them that makes sure they live above the poverty line.

It is a mistake in 2019 to think about building an audience first and revenue later.

The one model for free publishing that makes sense is content marketing: (e.g. "I wrote a book about X. If you have a problem with X and hire somebody else, now you have two problems.") Other than that, free publishing is a game that (at best) Google wins.

If you have a plan to make money, then you can determine a customer acquisition cost you can afford. Otherwise it's your funeral.

Interesting proposal. Thank you for your work on this! Carbon emissions seem to be a classic tragedy of the commons and I believe the only effective way to prevent a tragedy of the commons is through better governance. Creating these kinds of promising new policies is one half of the solution, activism to generate the political will to enact them is the other half. (Disclaimer: I work on the activism side. We haven't given up and neither should any of you)
I'm not backpedaling. You're desperately trying to mold the 1849 Gold Rush analogy onto Bitcoin, which can be mined from anywhere there's electricity...so basically anywhere within range of civilization. This is an absurd argument. Gold is only found within certain mineral deposits. BTC can be mined in Russia, USA, Mexico, Iceland, Britain, or Outer Space.

I get this experience using non-netlify-specific tools and processes already. I've also been doing this type of work professionally for 15+ years. If I was just starting out today, netlify would be a huge time saver, at the cost of a ton of knowledge you gain doing it yourself.

"But wait...there's more". If you're a new to development or operations, you might be tempted to use something like netlify. If your project has a high probability(>75%) of generating real income, then DEFINITELY use netlify. Anything that stands between you and deployment is costing you money. But... if your project is a hobby or non-serious-revenue-generating endeavor: please please please do it yourself. Learn apache syntax, learn nginx syntax, explore why `setenforce 0` is for hacky amateurs. You'll learn marketable skills, that will help you in your future career endeavors.

Netflify creates a skilled "user of netlify". Doing it yourself creates an "engineer". Which of those two would you rather be?

Whilst the fighting between the two is childish, I've always found this interesting in a "statistics vs probability" perspective.

They may look like similar fields of art, but are radically different in their approaches and how they seek to understand the world.

It also doesn't help that probability theory takes digs at statistics with rules such as the "Law of the unconscious statistician"
I've seen the 1950X as low as $450 at Microcenter. TR4 motherboards are quite expensive, but right now the Taichi is around $260 after rebate at Newegg. Note that not all of the motherboards are designed to handle the higher-TDP 2970WX/2990WX, if you think that's an upgrade you'd make then look for one with a beefier VRM. Also, the cheaper ones lack 10 GbE or some other higher-end features.

You can also find the 1700 as low as $130 if you watch around. Needless to say, if you have any batch-processing type tasks that don't need AVX2, that's a hell of a deal too.
So I guess the follow up question is, whats a low cost method for customer acquisition?

> the recent outcry from game journalists to add an easy mode to Sekiro to allow them to "experience" the game when for a From Software game, the difficulty IS the game experience.

Based on what I read on Kotaku (and elsewhere) about Sekiro and the difficulty issue, this is an incredible mischaracterization of the truth (with a healthy dose of opinion) and, for me, enough to disqualify the rest of your comment from serious consideration.
This likely will be just another book on the long list of books I've owned but don't get through, but hard to ignore a 700-page book with a topic both esoteric and pragmatic (I use git daily but have very little knowledge of it beyond what commands to Google).

Article 11 is not a link tax, because it, surprisingly, doesn't tax links. Julia Reda is opposed to the copyright legislation, and has chosen to re-define it as a "link tax" because it helps her push her agenda. She spends a LOT of time meeting with Google and organizations directly funded by Google, which she does, helpfully, disclose on her website.
There are situations where they can be both correct or wrong based on how you judge them.
You can learn to do basic proofs the way old school Tsarist and Soviet Russia students did, by studying geometry from Kiselev. It should be pretty straightforward for any adult, and a nice stepping stone to build your knowledge on.

A more advanced approach would be to go through a logic book like Velleman that teaches proofs as structured programming.
Seems like writing laws for the government should be work for hire. Once it is done the copyright is transferred to the government and then opened to the public. The organization gets paid, everybody is happy.
Probably not, some ferrets are keen to eat everything soft, including rubber, but metal? Not really.

Could be due to a suboptimal diet though, ferrets have very short intestines, can't digest anything besides meat and easily develop problems because of that.
It's a canard to talk about this in terms of 'representation or votes'.

MEPs have very little power, and it was designed that way.

Were this democratic, the underlying MEP issues would have been integrated long ago as the MEPs would have had a hand in crafting the bill.

As it stands, they are a rubber stamp, or failsafe on some legislation.

MEP's cannot even punt the unelected entities which make the law in the EU - a democratic deficit which is unique in the modern world.

A better alternative to the A13 conundrum would be to 'start creating Googles' instead of having to legislate at them from 10K kilmoeters away.
That is irrelevant. You aren’t being realistic or practical. The US government didn’t, and couldn’t blackmail every past, present, and future employee who may come across source code or documentation or communication about a backdoor for every company that produces a hardware or software product. They also did not blackmail every independent researcher who might discover one. To even attempt this and expect it to remain a secret would be incomprehensibly stupid and we would definitely know about it by now.

There have been cases where specific things were targeted. This isn’t even close to every piece of hardware.

“There are no mistakes” is a ridiculous notion for anyone who has ever had a career tangentially related to software or hardware. I don’t know how someone who holds this viewpoint even managed to find this website. You really don’t think bugs ever happen by accident?

Yeah that's pretty much the case with Modern Compiler Implementation in {ML, Java, C} by Appel. The Java and C ones are basically transliterated ML and not everyone appreciates that.

On the one hand, people do buy the Java and C books. On the other hand, I think they eventually realize it's probably easier to learn an ML dialect and learn the "real" code.

This may or may not apply to the git book though, since doing it in Ruby is already not "idiomatic".

I've found twitter not to be a good forum for this kind of thing. Leaving the current pair alone, I've had a few times where more public figures can't determine easily that you're not one of the trolls, that and the fact that they almost certainly don't follow you and have an understanding of your context and goodwill.

For the most part, I've stopped following anyone that doesn't follow me in return on twitter.

Let me put it very simply for you. Those who try to extend the copyright in all directions are often proponents of censorship and police state methodology. It's commonly the same ones who push for DRM and anti-circumvention laws.

Example: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/GeoHot/

Public should not tolerate such kind of garbage, especially when corrupt politicians lie through their teeth about the consequences of such kind of laws.
