For an FP person, you might want to instead start with skimming, for half an hour, the R5RS or R7RS Scheme paper, for the base language from which Racket grew (don't worry about the first-class continuations unless you want to). Then go to the Racket Guide or Racket Reference table of contents, to look for things that you might be looking for from your past FP experience, like `match` (though it's maybe not used as much as you're familiar with). Then look into some of the strengths of Racket, like syntax extension and `#lang`. (If you want additional treatment of syntax extension and `#lang`, see things like Hendershott's "Fear of Macros", and Butterick's book.) Also skim the large list of add-on packages, to get a sense of what's there. Eventually read through the Guide and Reference at your leisure.

There's an imposing wall of manuals at: https://docs.racket-lang.org/

Racket isn't purely FP, but it can be used that way, even with the base language. There's also at least one lazy `#lang`, and you can make more.
It's true that you could mostly replace the "rga" binary with `rg --pre=rga-preproc` and just publish the rga-preproc binary, which does most of the work.. But rga itself adds convenience regarding filter selection and other config options like caching.
Ok so why blame the pilots initially? Why petition the administration to not ground the airplane even after the second crash? I think Boeing still isn't being open. Nothing's changed. Vague platitudes of accepting some responsibility is not a substitute for specifics of the entire timeline of the feature, testing, approval by all parties.

If regulatory capture isn't part of the Congressional investigation, then it has no credibility, and we can assume that there is Congressional capture as well. The NTSB does have a history of criticizing the FAA, manufacturers, and pilots, with regard to the facts. Therefore I'm reasonably confident they will indicate inadequacies in the regulatory regime for such a misfeature/misdesign to have escaped into the wild.

I really do not trust GNU enough to say "or later". There's no reason to think the next GPL's terms will be what I want.

Putting "or later" at the end licenses your software under unknown terms. It could become CC0.
Google uses the lyrics to link you to Google Music, so they end up profiting from the content they scrapped.
Honestly if it was any small business doing this, there would be no harm, but considering Google can place themselves at the top of the search results for lyrics, then it is shady. They basically take Genius content, rank Genius low in the results and place themselves at the top.

Apple does all their driver and API development in house. Supporting Vulkan would mean a lot more effort on their part.
Unlike windows and Linux where support is handled by the GPU vendor instead.

Why support Vulkan, which is arguably harder to use and takes more resources of their internal development teams, when they have an API that provides all the benefits and is arguably a better API? Especially when the major off the shelf engines already support metal. It's diminishing returns at this point.

Personally I'd be quite happy to have Vulkan support on mac, but if you take a step back from your inalienable position that it's a conspiracy, there's actually very sound reasoning behind it.

You may not agree with the decision, but you weaken your argument when you're trying to force everything to fit a black and white narrative. The reality is much more nuanced.
That's a pretty cool feature indeed, I had missed it (and now I understand the need for a separate binary with archive handling & streaming logic). Thanks for correcting.
While I agree with your other words, is the last paragraph really necessary? If you want us mainlanders to trust you, it is advisable to not praise Japan when it is not directly related to the conversation.

Mainlanders are also perfectly capable of doing it, although we are not doing as good as we can.

Yes. Both are generally pretty dishonest. Pointing to another industry's guilt doesn't make the first industry innocent.

Are you disagreeing with my example? How many companies actually DON'T try to trick people into giving them their mailing address, and then stockpile the emails?
I agree with you so I should clarify what I mean by “jail”. The reform aspect is absolutely crucial and I am not advocating for simply locking people up as we do today. When I say “jail” I should probably say something like “adequate social safety nets supported by state mandated rehabilitation” but the marketing needs work.
At the end of the day, if the gene is self-modifying, the meta-code that modifies the gene also lies somewhere within the gene. Or are you talking about externally modifying a gene by inducing certain mutations?

I am no expert, but I have read a couple of good books on the topic and my understanding is that while it is true that your DNA can modify itself to some extent in response to stimulus, the extent to which this happens is very limited in scope, and limited to ancient genetic pathways, which means these get activated only in times of severe biological stress, like through starvation or famine.
The article fails to acknowledge that drug abuse can be caused by homelessness (which also makes sense when you think about it). In fact all it says is that homeless people use drugs, and then goes on to say that therefore drugs cause homelessness.

It also fails to acknowledge (in CA at least) that the 80s republican plan to save money by closing mental health facilities put a large number of people on the streets without any means to afford necessary drugs, and so no ability to work (assuming they had somewhere to live). This dramatically increased the cost to the state as now people with mental health issues get put in prisons. Keeping someone in a prison costs much more than in a proper treatment facility, and also fails to provide any rehabilitate support, and now they have a criminal record so even if they could get treatment in prison they can’t get a job when they get out, so end up homeless, and then back in prison.

It also ignores fairly basic concepts: there are fewer rooms available to rent in SF than there are homeless people, so even if the city just paid the rent for them (which is cheaper in the long term), there isn’t anywhere for them to live.

Cool beans.

If you've only got a few classes it's faster to transfer learn a model from a few hundred examples, get that model to relabel your entire dataset and then fix any mistakes it's made. This is less than ten lines of python using fast ai.

If you've split your labelled data into folders then you can scan through several thumbnails at once to catch any misclassified pictures.

Rinse and repeat until the model is good enough.

In that specific case, the police did not consider the confession by itself to be enough to falsely convict Mr Kogut and his two friends.

So the police took a hair from the victim, put it in an evidence bag, and testified under oath that the hair had been found in the defendants' van.

It looks like the innocent men were released in 2003, and have had to wait 15+ years for compensation.

The company behind this seems to be genuinely interested in a greener web: https://www.wholegraindigital.com/

Unfortunately, I feel like lots of things can be understood in a variety of ways. Take this:

> The products and services we provide will use the least amount of energy and material resources possible.

What does that mean ? Should I use C to create websites, so that each web request takes less energy ? What about the energy I use to code : is that accounted for ?

And this:

> The products and services we provide will support an economy that nourishes people and planet.

What kind of products and services does that exclude ?
I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for, but yes, Craig Venter's team at JCVI and later Synthetic Genomics has been building synthetic organisms starting with Mycoplasma laboratorium in 2006. Most recently, an E. coli analog was built using DNA synthesis (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1192-5).

To be clear, @aeorgnoieang's response is basically correct. The central dogma holds, the epigenetic program's role is well-characterized to be relevant to development/differentiation only under normal circumstances, epigenetic imprinting effects are weak, etc. As @aeorgnoieang correctly points out, the other things you cited (microchimerism, rearrangements, chromosomal organization/spatial effects) don't actually conflict with the "DNA as source code" metaphor in any way.

This is not to say that the popular understanding of these things is perfect - there are lots of misconceptions - but the way to fix that is by finding better ways to describe what we know and put it in context. A big issue is that as we learn more, media events around new discoveries make it hard to put the relative effects (of things like chimerism/mosaicism, polygenic risk factors, horizontal gene transfer, etc.) into context if you're not already an expert.
I would rather the media not be involved. The media presents biased perspectives on behalf of powerful interests to mislead the public. If the media got behind one measure or another then I would be immediately skeptical of it. For the integrity of science we should keep the media as far away from this as possible.
It's supposed to. We don't even know for sure that there's a flaw in it; they might have just bypassed it, found a way to read the flash memory directly.
By this argument, prop planes, jets, helicopters and rockets don't fly because they don't flap their wings like general flying creatures do.

Loss of biodiversity is like throwing away millions of years of the results of the execution of a blind search algorithm running over an unimaginably high dimensional space. Human civilization will forever be trying to recall the dream from which it has awoken, but the details are gone and every second we are awake they slip further away. Who knows what questions we could have answered if we still had the record of that search?
Strikes only work when the media portrays them sympathetically. The media will never even report a strike happened if powerful interests are against it.

Fundamentally we should focus on rehabilitation instead of punishment. If the non-violent offense is theft in support of a drug habit then rehabilitation should be made available. It should not be optional.

That's exactly right and I don't know why people would downvote it unless they've never had it happen to them.

No, not unless they're insane. It looks more like they deliberately worded it to appeal to mentally retarded individuals suffering from persecutory delusions and the like. 'Terrorist Foiled' sounds better than 'Delusional Idiot Entrapped', especially when taxpayers are footing the bill.

You could theoretically see better real-world performance. As someone who is currently working on very high-performance C++, I have noticed Clang being much more 'confident' in optimising code than its counterparts (especially compared to MSVC++).

That being said, in the grand scheme of things any performance improvement would probably only show up on benchmarks.

Again, that's not how our modern understanding of genomics works, and hasn't been since the 1980's. There's much, much more to it than genes+environment. See all the mechanisms I've mentioned in GP. Also, you brought up 'variation between people', which can be aditionnally confounded by things that have nothing to do with DNA at all, such as the various microbiomes.

It's important to note that heritability is not some kind of magic bullet that explains everything with "genes". If you want to convince a biologist that "genes" are the cause for a given phenotype, you've got to show an actual genetic causal mechanism or you've got nothing. This is, again, due to the myriad of interfering mechanisms that make "genes" very, very removed from the actual phenotype. And again, I'm not talking about the environment.
The initiative reminds me of this:

The modern web made possible to represent knowledge in completely new forms and to easily collaborate with people in your fields of interest. From your home you can now find a 3D animation of how some piece of engineering or science works. With AR and VR you can comprehend complex concepts faster. The barriers to enter science and contribute to solving big civilization issues are lower than ever. The parts are already in place. What I'd love to see is how to teach and organize people to use the existing web more efficiently.

> Why there isn't something like Facebook for science?

I hope not, why would there even be something as dreadful. Interdisciplinary research and science communication are great things and yes there are those who pursue PhDs in that but it's very difficult career wise.

One huge problem is the amount of jargon each and every field accumulates, there are also a too many gibberish meta research papers written and published, they're using the right scientific words and packed with clever explanations but are mostly utterly worthless. And the worthlessness doesn't end there, splitting one subject and it's findings into different articles is just one of those anti-patterns made to show the number of papers to receive more grants.

If you can I would at least advise running tests using memory sanitizer, which is also built in to newer clang versions. They're much more precise, but only catch problems occurring at runtime. also adress sanitizer for the out of bounds accesses, use after free bugs, memory leaks etc.

> The ambiguity is intentional; the statement is intended to capture all of those cases, because the differences between them don’t matter in practice.

If an alternative remedy is effective, in fact, it matters to people who could benefit from the usage, but have been told, or led to believe (through dishonest, vague, weasel language that "covers" or "captures" more informative descriptions) by doctors or acquaintances who lack skills in logic or epistemology.

> No studies, only one good studies, one hundred bad studies: they’re all conditions where the right response is “don’t rely on this as evidence until you’ve done more studies.”

Tell that to doctors and half-educated iamverysmart people who confidently assert that an "alternative" treatment does not work, full stop, as opposed to "has not been found to work in clinical studies".

> You can’t prove a negative

Correct. And therefore, you shouldn't speak as if you have.

> you have to treat a negative the same as an absence of evidence.

Incorrect. You could simply state what is factually correct, for example: "Herb X has not been found to successfully treat ailment Y in clinical studies. This should not necessarily be treated as conclusive proof that it does not, but at this time scientific studies have not found any evidence of effectiveness. Be wary of anyone who states otherwise, whether for or against the treatment - anyone who claims to have conclusive evidence either way is mistaken."

> That’s because doctors don’t use their own judgement. Doctors are embodiments of a system mapping a symptom-recognition model (mostly random, gets better with experience; this is the part humans are better at currently) to a fixed, explicit expert system of guidelines built by panels who study meta-analyses to reach recommendations.

Doctors (and the general public) should be informed of the difference between guidelines resulting from our current, incomplete understanding, and absolute facts. Very few people, including doctors, seem to realize there even is such a difference.

> Doctors don’t need to know why the DSM recommends what it recommends to be right by making recommendations using it

A recommendation and a statement of "fact" (without actual evidence to support the fact) are two very different things.

> In both cases, the commander giving the orders has better “line of sight” on the problem than the person on the ground does.

You have no way of knowing whether an individual patient may happen to have a factually superior understanding of a particular ailment than their doctor. This is a fine example of a lack of understanding of epistemology.

> And, in both cases, usually information-retaining expert consensus techniques are used to allow the commander+advisors system to actually have a greater-than-1.0xhuman level of rationality.

This statement is better, in that it expresses uncertainty via usage of the word "usually".

And note that within the UK there are some big differences! The wiki link in the parent comment is for the England and Wales version of the police statement made at time of arrest, which points out that:

> You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

But in Scotland, which has a slightly different (and obviously, of course, much better) legal system, the police statement is:

> You are not obliged to say anything but anything you do say will be noted and may be used in evidence.

The difference is due to the fact that under Scots Law, no adverse inference can be drawn based on a persons silence.

I am not a lawyer, but I would assume that they would recommend getting arrested in Scotland, rather than England, if you absolutely must commit crimes in the UK...
> and then fix any mistakes it's made
