Just to take the mountain analogy a little further, if you're stuck in the traffic jam on top of Everest because all the other high achieving people are there, too, and then you run out of air, you're going to die on that hill. Some things are not in your control. In fact, all the people that have died on Everest are high achievers.

The key moment for me when I first had an inkling that being smart wasn't enough on it's own came at my grade 11 math final exam.

I finished it in 45 minutes. No problem. Got an 88%. Felt awesome. Simon, the prototype of the "jock" football player, took the full 2.5 hours offered on the same exam. He got a 99%.

It bothered me for years because it went against everything I knew. I was smarter, so I deserved the better grade. I finished so much faster than him! If I'd spent the full 2.5 hours I'm sure I'd have gotten 100%... But I didn't do that.

It took until college before I finally came to understand: nobody cares how clever you are. There are no points for that in life. Points are for getting things done, for accomplishments.

(I should also mention that despite the jock stereotype of acting superior, etc, Simon was one of the nicest guys!)

In my experience, in the context of artificial and human intelligence, any statement of the form "X is just Y" or, equivalently, "Isn't X just Y" is neither sound nor complete and X and Y are not well defined.

In your example, for instance- I have no idea what are "fuzzy rules" and how they apply to tennis playing, or how they relate to predicting the position of the ball etc.
I think the floating-point precision interpretation is negated by the author's suggestion that the loss of precision is "because of the small sample size". I can sort-of see how a purely analytical solution might be susceptible to rounding issues (and I say sort-of because I don't think such an approach would actually include multiplying millions of fractions, and the straightforward approach involves numbers near 1 instead of near 0), but the reference to "sample size" makes me think that this was a numerical simulation.

But presuming the author ran the simulation more than once (wouldn't you do this if you had such a surprising result?) I don't see how there could be any consistent effect unless there was a bug in the logic of the program. Unless maybe they ran it multiple times with the same random seed and got exactly the same results?

Considering how much camera sensors have improved in the last few years I wonder how outdated these sensors are (or not)

Unlike the Europeans, who don't have to deal with unions:

> In Europe, too, subways cost less. Madrid's recently-opened Metrosur line is 41 km long, with 28 stations, yet was completed in four years at around $58m per km. Recent expansions in Paris and Berlin cost about $250 million per km.

> In Japan and continental Europe, Levy found, tunnels usually cost between $200 million and $450 million per mile; the most expensive, the North–South Line in Amsterdam, still cost only $660 million per mile, more than twice its original budget. Spain, Italy and South Korea were especially economical, building tunnels for less than $250 million per mile. (Since 2011, US inflation has increased these numbers by about 12 percent.)

What I like about generating this picture is that the color of every pixel is completely independent. If you have 2 cores, you can generate it twice as fast. If you have a million cores, you can generate it a million times faster.

Apparently I attempted this in Haskell 10 years ago: https://gist.github.com/jrockway/291074. I seem to recall adding things to that GTK image builder the slowest part by far. I bet things are better 10 years later though.
That's the hardest part. Once you're passed day 3 it's easier. I only fast for 7 days once or maybe twice per year. It's also easier if you're eating keto the weeks prior to the fast.
To a degree if demand for Linux support was loud enough, they could probably swing a mandate to add support to both. I'm not sure if it'll ever get there but one example is that Valve is now aggressively investing in tools to enable playing existing Windows games on Linux. This could result in more happy Linux users asking for improved compatibility or direct Linux ports (for a better experience), but we'll see...
This article is setting off red flags for me. The whole conflating traffic, traffic jams and pollution seems slimy and the really short quote excerpts seem to indicate the author is trying to take the politician's statements out of context. Urban pollution has several facets (heavy trucks vs cars, particulate vs Nox, local climate, etc, etc,) and none of them are mentioned. Conflating residents in the affected zone voting for "the other guy" with specifically supporting the existing policy is seems dishonest.

Is there someone who actually knows this issue and can tell me what the article is omitting? I don't know what I don't know but the way this article is written makes me think there's a lot of nuance being glossed over.
You can cast between byte arrays and strings in Go. The difference is that strings are immutable (so it does a copy).
At what point do you differentiate it when a location was literally designed to be a wrapper around multiple train stations.

Why does this tired argument never seem to come up here when Facebook is doing Bad Privacy Things? They are still a private company in that case, so it seems to equally apply (especially the trash-heap part). But I don't ever see it being made in those threads. Weird.
If you want to use a browser to generate the Mandelbrot set I think the best option is a WebGL shader. I found this, but there should be plenty of variants out there as it's a classic example of a parallel problem that benefits immensely from using the GPU.

Mailbox.org.
One simple example: battle.net installs its own root certificate to the OS trust store. How do you do that for Linux? There are plenty of distributions with different rules. That would be some work.
I've literally never used a mail client that behaves this way. If the EXE even makes it past attachment scanners, I get a 'save'/'run' prompt and then if it's not signed and trusted, SmartScreen usually prompts me again to confirm that I really want to run it.

The app is usually in an installer package or ZIP which adds a couple more execute barriers.

The real threat is malware hidden in document formats like docx or pdf, which usually have fewer clicks before open + get exploited.
I realized that being selected for a gifted class wasn't so much about helping my peers as it was protecting the order of the classroom. If someone said today, "hey, these people are exceptional, let's isolate them from the people they seem to lead," I'd recognize it for what it was. When I look at former gifted kids, it's almost as though a generation of young leaders were sabotaged by appealing to their parents vanity.

Sure, some kids need to get out of absurd public school situations, but knowledge these days is basically free. The only skills that matter for life outcomes are social and political, with things like abstraction and mastery a distant third.

The theme among former gifted students I know is a kind of naivety where their social segregation deprived them of experience with the tools for how less abstractly oriented people must survive. It makes them soft targets for someone with a chip on their shoulder, a double digit IQ, and an instinct to lie to cover their weaknesses. Few would argue against the idea that, teaching kids to solve problems using intelligence and creativity over collaboration and management is to put them at a disadvantage. Problem solving is what talent does, it is not what management and leadership does.

I'm sure there are many gifted students who are just fine, but the outcomes are arguably much more polarized than for typical students.

You don’t need so many package managers. they exist, but they are virtually equivalent these days. Docker is (almost) alone as a result of timeline.

And the ppa juggling is somewhat accidental historical complexity, and some trust management issues.

Non-official dockers in widespread use will, I believe, explode as a security nightmare sooner than later.
I've very rarely seen setup scripts that don't have implicit dependencies on the details of the host environment. Whether it's assumptions about the OS or file system or what related software may be installed or whatever. Often because the original developer can't predict every permutation of the possible interactions because of a combinatorial explosion of possible system setups, sometimes because the script is poorly written, and very often because the language or tooling itself is poorly isolated (eg, pip and npm). Docker is a lightweight way of guaranteeing deterministic setup script execution. Obviously you can still screw it up by pulling from unversioned base images etc, but the numbers of failure modes are limited, typically easy to locate (ie within a single dockerfile rather than across an entire OS), and relatively easy to prevent with some best practices. And best of all, that's true across languages. I can achieve the same effects with pipenv, yarn, or other tooling specific techniques like folder level postgres installs. But then as a developer I have to know the thousands of idiosyncratic pitfalls that occur across the plethora of tools I have to deal with every day. And realistically, I have to deal with a ton of poorly written applications and scripts that I want to execute with some degree of isolation without a ton of overhead. More than I could possibly ever fix.
I also use safari as my main browser. When there is the rare case when a site malfunctions (not so rare anyways... sheesh its like IE all over again) I have brave-browser pulled from brew.

I’ve tried chrome in the past but it installed some sort of GoogleUpdater daemon without permission and I absolutely hate that. The same reason I don’t install MSOffice on my machines.

There is a lot of work done in analyzing holding patterns. Would probably be interesting to see comparison to usage and price of gold as a store of value.

For me, buying and holding seems to be legitimate usage. I guess that would count as "speculating". What else should you do with a store of value that you expect to appreciate in price because it has inflation going to 0?

This might be a stereotype, but certainly in my case, I hated team sports and strongly resented the way everyone presumed that I liked football cause I was a boy.

The advice to find something they enjoy that shows progress is great (I did that with theatre), but don't force them into anything, especially not team sports.
As someone who also follows the rules well like your sibling (but isn't gifted), the more time passes the more I understand it to be a serious character flaw.

Are most websites run by businesses which employ 15 or more full-time employees?

To be illegal the website must be run by a business which employs 15 or more full-time employees. Or the business is some form of public accommodation like a hotel. From what I have read.

Of course it would be better to make sure the website is accessible, but I'm mostly commenting on the statement that it is illegal.

That's a bit cynical. There are many examples of NASA missions that had far exceeded the original expectations.
My brother was always a better learner/student than me as well. He would study 10+ hours for an exam...or all night if that is what it took. I would cram 15 minutes before an exam. We both got similar grades. The difference is that he retained most of what he studied. A month later I didn't remember it. We adjusted our jobs similarly. Mine requires large amounts of information being take in and used quickly to solve problems...sometimes only once. He teaches difficult students a very difficult subject.

> it isn’t really an accurate way to discuss modern chips

I think it’s still mostly accurate, CISC/RISC is about public API i.e. instruction set. What’s inside a core is implementation details, very interesting ones and can be important for performance, but still.

> ARM has instructions which do complex operations as well

True, but I don’t think they combine these complex math operations with RAM access, in a single instruction?
> do you want your process to be isolated, or not.

No, not always. Why?.

At work I have a few coworkers pushing hard to dockerize (isolate?) everything.

This makes debugging when things go wrong a lot harder.

I see isolation as one of several qualities a process could have, that sometimes is valuable enough to be worth the sacrifice.

Isolation is not some absolute quality that is without significant tradeoffs.
According to relational theory, relations are immutable sets of tuples. The way you “change” a relation is by assigning a new relation to the name, e.g.:

R1 <- R1 union R2

Is the relational algebra way of “inserting” R2 into R1. Of course, most RDBMS’s (and the SQL family of languages) are only reasonably faithful implementations of relational theory under some practical constraints.

But those differences re important, and I think the authors are proposing a new relational model (though I don’t think this is a totally new idea; I’m not a database researcher). One that incorporates time and history of a relation as first-class citizens of the theory, that allows sql to operate natively on both traditional relational-theoretic relations and streams of data. Pretty cool! Can anyone who knows more than me comment on how this relates to Kafka tables, which seems to me a similar concept?
Succeeding at work is often way more nebulous than succeeding in school. School is entirely based on tests and homework with transparent grading systems and syllabi.

Work is so much more relationship-based. It's not just about doing what your told, but also about collaborating and communicating and leveraging a network, mentoring peers, and generally getting things done for which there is no clear path.

I always felt "leadership" was a meaningless buzzword in school (especially since it had no impact on grades), but now that I'm working I can see it's a real valuable skill and essential to motivating others to do good work.
Still have nightmares from my first job in help desk, sweating bullets while handling decades of Outlook .pst files for a C-level in my company. Only place they existed were on the laptop itself, and a cheap 250GB external drive.

Context switching can kill up to 80% of your productive time
Yeah, it really is like night and day. I'm an old-school Linux fanboy. I remember when the Halloween documents were fresh news. I had a four-digit Slashdot ID. I've built LFS just for fun. I used to use a dollar sign when spelling the company's name. For most of my adult life I've had absolutely no love for Ballmer-led Microsoft.

But the last few years have shown that Microsoft under Nadella is a completely different animal. Ten years ago, if someone told me that one of the best IDEs on the Linux desktop would be an MIT-licensed project from Microsoft, I'd have thought they were drunk, crazy, and high. But lo and behold, we have VS Code, and it's awesome. There's MS engineers contributing code to the Linux kernel. One of the best ad-blocking web browsers on Android is Microsoft Edge. A Debian distro (albeit one without a Linux kernel) is a 1st-party app on the Windows app store.

It's gotten to the point where I'm seriously wondering how much code under the hood of their prototype demo "Modern OS" is from Microsoft, and how much is actually from Canonical. They're already adding a proper Linux kernel for WSL2.

Interesting times.

Fuzzing Unit Tests with DeepState and Eclipser
I agree the way I said it was harsh -- I don't mean Docker the company should die or Docker the project should die or anything of that nature, I mean literally people referring to everything in containerization as "docker" + <whatever the thing is>.

Also, Docker itself is very much trying to be more than what it is right now, Docker swarm, compose, and basically everything Docker as a company does to improve their product offering moves them farther away from the way people are using "docker" in conversation right now.

Basically, when people say "docker image" they should be saying "container image" (for lack of a better term, at least).

> That is all we want. A few instructions to get a system up. Devs are sick of setting up machines. Demand is there.

This is pretty vague -- "setting up machines" can mean a lot of things. I want to make it clear that it's not the container runtime's job to set up a single machine, it's to enable a process to pretend that the machine it has access to is it's own. It's a subtle difference but it's worth noting IMO.

If you want to fix setting up your machines, you should be looking at tools like Packer, Container Linux distributions (formerly CoreOS, now Atomic I believe), Nix, Guix, and Linuxkit. Docker does not set up machines, it sets up processes, but happens to bring along a filesystem (amongst other things).

A linux container is not a machine (virtualized or otherwise), it is an isolated process, I agree that devs are sick of worrying about machine configuration when setting up the required dependencies to run their processes, though, containerization is here to stay -- it was around before docker and will be here after.
That sounds like a serious medical condition, you should contact your doctor.
The limiting factor ends up being competition much more than it ends up being rate of reproduction.

For example, we'd get sick a lot more if we weren't teeming with more or less symbiotic organisms. A fungus that specializes in infecting Anopheles and also destroys the resource that it is optimized to consume isn't just going to up and start dissolving rubber.

> nobody in their right mind should add a script that fingerprints users

Fingerprinting users is no more a problem than using cookies, there are far more legitimate reasons to use these things than illegitimate. The problem is Google and Facebook using these techniques to spy on people at massive scale.

Once again the problem is Google and Facebook not the internet.
The worldview of this comment baffles me. Do you think living to maximize some imaginary "life score" is a good idea, a healthy idea, a utilitarian idea? Why not make yourself useful in whatever situation you are in, trying to make constant progress on what is important to you, and be a benefit to the people you care about? They won't put my life score on my tombstone.
Good catch... that sounds pretty silly. It should probably read more like "converting relationships to be represented by single bits"

As a concrete example, we took the NYC taxi ride data set which is something like 300GB of CSV files and when it was indexed in Pilosa, the total size of all the bitmap files was closer to 40GB.
Could say the same about anything. Should we ignore the reality that people like to steal things and make it illegal even though some still will?
I'm against automatically mining on people's computers, but I think it's interesting as an opt-in: click this button to run the miner for a fixed amount of time in return for {posting a comment, attempting a login, etc}.
