At my last job we had to do builds constantly and put it on hardware, which was annoying because builds took 15 minutes and putting it on the hardware took another 10. Couldn't solve the latter because it wasn't in our domain, but the first half I managed to "multithread" a build using a really hacky batch script compliation method, with a make file calling the compiler in a new command window for each file that needed to be compiled, with some checks for "needs to be compiled" or "wasn't changed". An extra script at the end of the process made sure that all the compiler instances finished before continuing with the next step. All of that work got it down to 2 minutes, or in small change cases, about 30 seconds. And another part of that was integrating some configuration data with existing files, which was simple as writing up a bunch of excel macros to do the copy/pasting and file output. It was hooked up to a shared folder on the network so the other team could just do their part, and then my part was entirely automated. In fact, the team testing things could do everything by themselves without any input from me at that point and only needed me to answer certain questions.

Yes, it's really hacky and the whole thing is entirely silly and could have been solved by using more proper tools (i.e. not a defunct make software without wildcard support for input files or Excel for configuration), but I was VERY pleased when I got it working.
I think the point of the article is that taking away someone's identity because she happens to be a woman is something that she has the right to oppose, especially if she is that woman. Also, they were dishonest.

Personally, I would side with her view regardless of what kind of religion or publication type it may be.
She is not, she clearly identifies herself as part of Conservative Judaism.
This is awesome! I wanted this so much. Need to play with this asap.

> Why pay a senior “brilliant” engineer $$$$

there are very few brilliant engineer of yesterday whose job role today is to train the next generation of brilliant engineers so that their vast experience doesn't get lost in time; the brilliant engineers of today have to relearn their experience walking the same mistakes, so that even companies that pays those premiums for senior engineers will have to face the same generational problem as everyone else, because they don't want to waste highly expensive professional to something as mundane as training on the job.
This is the core of my point. Therapy was helpful for me learning it as well.

Actually, despite the headline the article states it clearly.

>> NASA managers listened to the engineers and their PowerPoint. The engineers felt they had communicated the potential risks. NASA felt the engineers didn’t know what would happen but that all data pointed to there not being enough damage to put the lives of the crew in danger. They rejected the other options and pushed ahead with Columbia re-entering Earth’s atmosphere as normal.

This is it. Not any slideshow or wrong communication of risks, but lack of responsibility.

I wouldn't say it's big per se. Spirituality as a whole is much bigger than astrology, though astrology is a tiny branch of it.

It looks like SV is thinking that it can monetize meditation, yoga, and esoteric practices, but it will be in vain. Your shitty, lifeless, little smartphone cannot provide a direct and emotional connection that replicates a real human interaction.

The most disturbing part of this article is that the investor openly says, "Yeah. These girls are struggling, but fuck them! I want to make money, even if that means further exploiting these girls!".

Sadly, this is your average SV perception. Good luck finding peace or enlightenment in your device!

‘Fake Reviews’ for Tech Products Are Rife on Amazon, Which? Says
Wow, I had no idea those things were maintained by the same guy! That's amazing! Is there somewhere one can contribute to his development efforts? I guess just donate to GNU Foundation?
I took it to mean that getting support for those languages would require management audit practices i.e. "why are we installing a new package on all of our servers?". In that case, awk would be better since the gnutils are much more likely to already be installed and in use. The resulting awk code would still probably fall under code management.
I did a MSc in ML and my dissertation was on classification of fake reviews:

https://douglas-fraser.com/FakeReviews/index.html

Some years ago, there were some studies trying to estimate the percentage of fake reviews. It came out to 2% to 6%. I'm sure things have increased since then, it does look quite bad given all the anecdotes I have come across.

But unless Amazon has thrown away the bulk of the 140 million or so reviews they have between 1995-2014, I doubt there really are more fake reviews than real ones now, in total.

It would be interesting to do a follow up study to estimate the percentage, given all the blatant issues (such as reviews for other products, etc) Amazon is obviously ignoring. Given what I know, it shouldn't be that hard to process the obviously suspect things but the important question is always: how much profit is there for Amazon to do all that work, given it probably won't increase sales/revenue that much? It is not in Bezos' interest.

The easiest thing would be to block off all of China's IP addresses....

It's technically possible to write in a concatenative style in a non-concatenative language, but in most cases, it's nowhere near idiomatic. How would you define a function that squares a number in a concatenative style in Javascript?

Here's the best I can come up with:

function compose(...funcs) {
return stack => funcs.reduce((acc, cur) => cur(acc), stack)
}

function dup(stack) {
stack.push(...[,,].fill(stack.pop()))
return stack;
}

function mul(stack) {
stack.push(stack.pop() * stack.pop())
return stack;
}

const square = () => compose(dup, mul)

console.log(square()([4]))

Then again, this could be a trick question someday - if the pipeline proposal goes through, it'll be possible to write idiomatic concatenative Javascript. (If you want to play with the pipeline operator, see here: https://defseg.io/etc/pipeline.html) You'd still need to define all your functions as accepting a stack parameter, but you wouldn't need a compose function, so you could do something like this:

function dup(stack) {
stack.push(...[,,].fill(stack.pop()))
return stack;
}

function mul(stack) {
stack.push(stack.pop() * stack.pop())
return stack;
}

const square = stack => stack |> dup |> mul

console.log([4] |> square)
console.log([2] |> square |> square)

For one, we're partnered with the largest RPG store so there is quite a lot of potential to grow and integrate DriveThruRPG brands and publishers into a virtual tabletop. Second, we're not trying to do too much with automation. Our goal is simplicity. My goal when starting Astral was to make TTRPGs fun and appealing to everyone. One of the biggest problems I sought to solve was the complexity of the existing services and I think we do an excellent job fulfilling that need.

No, they're in the North Tower.
The bells are suspended in a wooden structure that is free-standing, and free moving inside the stone structure.

This allows free movement when the bells are ringing, without stressing the stones.

It was a priority to extinguish the north tower fire to prevent the bell structure from collapsing - the falling bells would have destroyed the stone structures on the way down, presumably triggering the collapse of both towers..

Good plan. See my previous comment; I did my MSc on classifying fake reviews. The behavioral / non-text features are far more useful than the text, based on all the research. There is no technical reason Amazon could not capture all the signals, except for the scale of the effort. So I'd say someone has decided it is not worth the effort/cost given the likelihood it won't improve sales that much.

As for NNs, .... an ensemble of classifiers would be best (but of course I'd say that).
I'm entirely on Kaplan's side in this, but the way you express it gives me pause. "All sexism is bad" is true from my perspective, but it clearly isn't true from the perspective of the community concerned.

In the interests of pluralism (not relativism), I don't think it's a good idea to attempt to universalise social norms in that way.
Are you suggesting people would prefer ads that are completely irrelevant to them?
Yes it does. Just click on the link labeled "parent" at the bottom of any comment.

For a straightforward todo list I use the tools that come with the machine: Apple Notes, Google Keep, whatever. But for something a bit more complicated I use Trello. It’s great for personal projects though it can also scale to larger complicated projects.

EDIT: I’ve never used Evernote but it is generally well-regarded and my impression is that it is a complex todo and note-taking app.
Following the GDPR is easy though, if you have any kind of decent data policies it's usually almost done already.

> a) read articles of companies that spend $100.000 for law consulting companies so the company is sure they follow GDPR rules, b) not read any articles at all.

Which company do you know that spent that much money to make a simple news website GDPR-proof?

Yes, it was a lot of annoyance to deal with a year ago, because we had zero precedent, badly worded laws, idiotic domestic laws, and predatory lawyers creating urban legends. Yes, I hated it too. My guess is that about 30% of sites in Europe are compliant. Nothing happens to the other 70%. How bad was the transition? For your average website, it cost you about 50 Euros and a few hours of work to understand the basics. Once you've worked on one, the time required drops massively, and the money drops to zero.
I can’t speak to foreign operators but in the US that most certainly does not happen. The captain flies in the left seat and the first officer flies in the right seat. Turns are taken on who is flying and the automation is selected to the side of whichever pilot is deemed the pilot flying.

Well, you can forget about worrying about whether microplastics are harmful to the environment, because they are out there now, all over the damn place and there's no going back. Plastic is literally and figuratively the 20th century turning itself to dust and getting sucked up in Earth's massive recycling systems. It's in everything from seawater to freshwater to salt (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/10/micro...) to the air we breathe. It's in the entire food web--our food, our food's food, our food's food's food, and our feces of course (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/10/news-...). And it's bad for everybody (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/from-fish-to-huma...). It will be in sediment for aeons, a permanent part of Earth's story, forever. There is absolutely zero chance of ever cleaning it all up.

Good job, 20th century. And right on, 21st century! We really doubled down on money-making at the expense of the environment!

After sifting through the dust, if they ever figured out that it was our refuse, future intelligent beings might well refer to us, quite aptly, as trash monkeys.
