That is a fine answer to mieseratte's question but I feel compelled to mention that the propublica article you link to is...pretty bad.

Here's a pretty good summary of why:

I'm not an expert on this particular business org, but there's a general emphasis in big companies on 'paying for what you use' so the partner program probably directly comes out of his budget. In my experience this was true at Google and is true at MS. This means it's not just 'short term revenue' and instead 'your program costs way too much, it's not allowed, fix it'. Clearly this particular program needs to be an exception, but it's not his fault that universal policies are a bad fit for it (and he probably inherited it).
It wasn’t clear what part of “microMath+” you meant should be replaced by μ, but I eventually found the app. It’s μMath+, on F-Droid at https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/com.mkulesh.micromath.pl... and on GitHub at https://github.com/mkulesh/microMathematics.
I presume they left out that 13kV is what the street level transformers get- which in turn will turn into 240v split phase, 240v three phase, or 480v three phase.
Using ML to auto-learn changing log structures
The government calls it a deposit. The law that collects it and refunds it refers to it as a deposit. The charge on my receipt says deposit. The refund I get back is called deposit refund.

Except when I buy a can of Cola I pay 10 cents deposit. When I return it I get 5 cents deposit refund.
Using zip codes to implement discriminatory policies isn’t ML, but has almost certainly occurred. It’s referred to as redlining, and has been around for a while. The New Deal had some pretty indefensible redlining conditions. A lot of people will say the practice continues to this day, but the modern examples are a lot more open to interpretation than some of the historical ones are.
Who exactly are they "extinguishing"?
If he wasn't doing it as his job, using a work mail address to contact someone over a security issue sounds like it would have been a bad idea.
This also stood out to me, as I've become increasingly aware that most of the landfills around me are not lined.
Staying relevant is good business.
I do about one hour every other day at an average pace of ~29spm keeping my heart rate mostly in zones 4 & 5.

No question about it: It is BORING as hell. Much more boring than running. I just listen to podcasts and am very glad when it is done. The nice thing compared to running is that, in addition to being a full body workout, there are no excuses. No "its too hot" or its raining, or snowing, or whatever. The machine is always in my spare room waiting for me.
No. That’s an incredibly ignorant statement that is unfortunately commonly believed by many people these days.

We currently subsidize a type of agriculture that is very extractive. But farming isn’t inherently that way, and has only been that way for a few decades. I’ve seen the right way — working on a midsize farm that was producing a variety of crops and dairy from the late 1600s until around 2006.

Techniques like crop diversification, rotation, low-tillage, etc it is very feasible to create a sustainable agricultural environment. Think about the tragedy of all of the incredibly fertile and water-rich land that fed NYC in New Jersey that is now subdivisions. Now “environmentally concerned” people are drinking half gallons of crushed almonds, sugar and water grown in arid areas with threatened water supplies.

It does mean that you need to roll back the direct and indirect subsidy that creates exploitive markets. That means you don’t grow lettuce in the California desert. It also means seasonal vegetables and smaller scale farms.
>The dominating idea in this application of mathematics to physics is that the equations representing the laws of motion should be of a simple form.

But are they the rules of nature and not a set of relationships in nature accurately communicated by the language of maths?

For example, famously, Newtonian gravity turned out not to be fundamental rules by which nature followed, but further inquisition found a deeper, suprisingly more complex relationship of rules.

Feynman talked about this, saying "nature may be for the foreseeable future like an onion, where we just keep pulling away the layers and there are more and more layers."

I'm not an expert in physics nor math, but it seems we still have little-to-no fundamental understanding of what the fundamental rules or causes of the game of reality are. The rules we are finding (that physics seems to have stalled out on discovering, but that's a tangent) are not really fundamental truths or rules, but perhaps even more accurately mental models on describing relationships in the universe. Einstein himself actually said math was an invention of the human mind, and I believe the jury is still not settled on that.

Perhaps someone here has a better understanding and can help me here?
Sky Credit Solution, the Credit Builders
I have a great income but I was a bit careless during my youth and this has a negative effect on my credit score. I have been bothered cos I haven’t been able to get a decent home to cos I have some evictions in my report. My friend Clarence Ledbetter told me about sky credit solution and how they helped increase his credit score and cleared all the negatives. I wondered the possibility of getting that done within 14 days and contacted them to make mockery of them when they fail. Seeing my credit score now, I’m astonished, I cant keep such miracle to myself so I decided to share my testimony. If you have a similar challenge, you can contact them at SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM / (620) 399 6316.
Libra is a Fiat currency proxy; all on/off-ramps will be KYC and AML protected, no significant money creation action will be allowed by Facebook. It’s basically an SDR for the great unwashed.

So, it basically reduces USD to a weighted component of a currency basket. That’s the only thing this bill is trying to prevent - reducing the supremacy of the USD. Look past the propaganda. Facebook won’t be allowed to bypass existing regulations. They’re... regulations, after all.

Modern economics is only “so stable” for big players; small businesses and flyover country slobs like me and you are sheep to the slaughter.

And, no, Libra isn’t going to do a thing for us, other than insulate is from a bit of currency instability and lubricate retail transactions and perhaps remissions back home. It’s a proof-of-oligarchy permissioned global-consensus blockchain; nothing interesting. No improvement to the risky one-mistake-and-you’re-dead PKI security model, so most normals will eventually lose their money, to either incompetency or theft.

If you work on what you believe are decentralized crypto currencies, please describe, precisely, what occurs when your global system experiences a total N-segment Network Partition — as will occur in the first 15 minutes of the next hot war; specific focus on A) system livenness, and B) account “values” after 1+ week of total partition, followed by global network restoration...
Sure - agree with all of this. That's more to do with institutions than 'western medicine' as a science. Most science disciplines are similarly imperfectly implemented when they hit the real worlds of politics, inertia, profit, tribalism, etc.

Who was it that said "comparison" is the source of all evil? Everyone gets caught up in it. What to do that works for me is to practice gratitude and feel inspired from people ahead of me regardless of age. They might just end up as a boss, friend, partner, lover, savior.
Conversely, there's a humble brag my grandfather loved to tell:

"I'm working on my second million!"

(pause for people to act impressed, while secretly loathing you)

"I gave up on my first."
I've yet to meet someone I would trade places with. If they're smarter than me, maybe they make less money. If they're richer than me, and smarter, maybe I don't care for their spouse. Or they're in bad physical shape, or they're neurotic and difficult to be around. If all else fails, you can consider how many people have it worse than you, and how, even if you had it worse, it would still be ok.

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken. ... Which is okay. Sometimes it's all right just to be a little bad. To know your limitations. Make do with what you've got.
I can believe it, the best person to test software for low hanging fruit of the "What happens if I do this thing that no sane person who knows anything about what the software is supposed to do would do?".

It's one of the reasons why I don't trust myself to test things fully, we write the software with all sorts of assumptions in our heads and subconsciously steer away from doing silly things - in that context it's really difficult to aim at a point a zero-knowledge user would hit.
Reddit UI became impossible to use. Only using old.reddit.com if at all, but I generally block the site as it's to much distraction.
the people that seem to have the least trouble with rust are coming from ocaml or f#. if your c++ style is highly imperative it seems to beat you up until you quit or figure out the patterns it prefers the prefers is the hard part, because it isn't wrong it just isn't a well supported style. I am concerned about the amount of syntax rust has accumulated. if I play in my subset I'm fine but I often find supposedly idiomatic rust that looks like an entirely different language to what I write
Liebig's law of the minimum

Liebig law of the minimum, often simply called Liebig's law or the law of the minimum, is a principle developed in agricultural science by Carl Sprengel (1828) and later popularized by Justus von Liebig. It states that growth is dictated not by total resources available, but by the scarcest resource (limiting factor). The law has also been applied to biological populations and ecosystem models for factors such as sunlight or mineral nutrients.

By then, there won't be any insects...
if the 10X is a comparison between the best and worst developers then there are 100X developers out there, during the early 2000s I once worked with a guy who spent a day wondering why his VBscript that instantiating an ActiveX object worked in Internet Explorer but not in Netscape. Yes, I or the other programmer in the office were more than 10X this guy, but I don't think it made us 10X developers.

Intelligence, Creativity, and Mood Disorders
This is a solid observation. I made a personal decision sometime in my late 20s to never do anything for money that I wouldn't also be willing to do for free. As a result of this decision I make a lot less money than many of my peers, but I'm always working on projects I'm excited about and I have more free time than most of the people I know. If anything, like you, I feel sorry for the people I see working all the time, always stressed, alienated from their families, and often using unhealthy habits to cope. You can buy a lot of stuff with money, but you can't take it with you when you die. I prefer to optimize for moments of contentment.
By "not testing" you mean automated and no manual testing. Still somebody needs to manually test some cases to write them down next as a code to cover constantly changing product, but even the best automation won't resolve unknown unknowns.
Canary is only a way to reduce one deployment impact.
The acceleration of erosion on farms is mainly caused by tillage (plowing), the building of fast farm drainage networks (vs infiltrating water to recharge aquifers), lack of trees to block surface-level winds (vs winrows), and heavy biocide application which kills the plant roots/fungal hyphae/bacterial aggregates that hold soil together.

>wouldn't that ultimately be the same as when mining operations remove whatever minerals they consider waste?

No because soil isn't waste, it's a valuable material.

Out of curiosity, have you talked to your dad about typed FP/type theory/Curry-Howard etc.? If so how did that go?
I do like performant apps, but I've never understood the emphasis on startup time for most of them. There's the odd utility (eg. screenshotting) where an instant start is desirable. But the main things I use (terminal, editor/ide, browser etc) are started once per week at most.

I personally wouldn't want the developers of the software I depend on most to waste resources speeding up something of such marginal significance.

[Edit: an instant-start editor for config file, vim commit edits etc is of course crucial]
> It made me intensely uncomfortable to have someone hanging around just to attend to my needs, and tell them to do menial chores for me.

>And yet, when I thought about it, I realized that I had no problem with janitors or baristas doing dirty work for me.

In order for the economics of having a personal servant to work out, there needs to be a fairly grotesque level of income inequality, driven by high levels of societal and legal inequality. That isn’t the case when ‘being served’ by waitstaff or a barista, who can both walk across the street and afford the same level of service you got from them at a different establishment.
Thank you very much. I wanted such a list for more than a year.

As people suggest below, it can be improved by adding more languages.
Toyota was selling mass-produced plug-in "hybrids" and Nissan was selling 100mi range 100% electric Leafs before Tesla had even produced the Model S. Yes, Tesla made them sexy, but Toyota, Nissan, and even Ford & GM did the very early path-finding that I think we needed in order to move ahead with the technology and get to the point where people would feel comfortable considering them at all.

There isn't any way that its going to be worth the return on investment though. Especially considering the 5 million dollar figure is calculated based on the amount of time "wasted" by commuting to meeting. People in corporate headquarters are not producing a quantifiable output per second like someone on an assembly line, so it doesn't even make sense to calculate a cost by counting the time it takes to walk. Basically, this whole thing sounds like it's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Space is a negligible amount of energy. Absolutely tiny.

I’d wager that GPS alone has made space a net energy positive by saving energy with better routing.
I am a software engineer. I recognize the need for good tools, as computers. In the end of the piece I imply that tool use in and of itself is not bad of course, nor that one shouldn't strive to use better tools. However, one should not strive to research tools as a end in and of itself rather than the means to do real work. Don't spend a literal week of time researching. This is the crux of what I aimed to say.

I spent so much time researching tools that I forgot what I really wanted to do, and in that same amount of time, had I spent it doing the work I wanted to do, I would have finished the project. I talk about true obsession over material things rather than mere research of them. The latter is fine, but the former can have severe psychological consequences.
I'm not saying it's more functional than another language, also depends on the dialect of lisp.

In general though, lisp is a functional language.

It’s not obvious, then, why “inverse Confucianism” has taken hold.

Probably at least in part because humans tend to actively reinforce pecking order. Institutions will let you escape it.

Humans will actively seek to put you back in your "place" and maintain the status quo where they are socially superior to you.

If you graduate college and get a better job, the college is okay with that. So is society, so long as you pay your student loans.

But mentors, masters, etc want to remain above you, even if they have to tear you down to keep their superior position. And it's really poisonous, insidious stuff to deal with.
I assumed i and x were because they are the most common variable names in loops, i and f are used in if statements. So he is saying these guys write lots of loops and if statements - I am not going to write a conclusion here because I am trying to lay off the cheap wit.
What you're describing are perverse incentives. The incentive to take care of your family or yourself means that you build a career by short term value because that's what gets you promoted. Taking care of the customer or user first is generally a path to stagnation or getting fired in most companies. Directives come from the top, first things that get cut are training and travel, then customer impacting tools, then sales incentives, then the company downsizes and executives give themselves bonuses for "being decisive" to save the company, when all they've done is gut the company of any long term viability for short term stability.
Elixir is Ruby like wrapper to a prolog based syntax to do actor based programming. It's more of a mess trying to move Erlang's syntax forward than interesting, but ok.

Ponylang is listed as "--" instead of "concurrency as a primitive type".

I'm not sure I can trust anything on the list, so it doesn't motivate me to investigate further. YMMV
Natural rates of formation are ~1 in/century (2.5 sanetimeter units).
One big reason, yes - one mistake and you lose your money. Statistically almost guaranteed for an account with regular usage! Look at the statistics. These are non-ergodicic probabilities; you don’t get to “play again” when they affect you. Losing your money in cryptocurrency PKI systems is closer to “Russian Roulette” than a “roll 1, you lose your bet” dice game. Screw up just once and it’s all gone.

So yes, the algorithms are a big part of why normals don’t use crypto — and rightly so.
I haven't had that issue much but one thing to try to do instead is try to observe them learn from them and their failues and successes. Even if you could never directly match them you could assuge yourself by continuing to learn, grow, and avoid their pitfalls.
I have worked with -N (negative N) developers before, where the team would be N times more efficient if they were ejected, does this count?
Blockstack engineer here.

The protocols under the hood ensure that each user chooses where their data gets stored -- all that's required is that wherever it is, it's available via HTTP(s) so it can be loaded into your Web browser. As such, Blockstack-powered applications hold no user state -- the user takes their data with them, and "brings their own storage" to the application. The blockchain component acts as a discovery mechanism, whereby any user can discovery any other user's public keys and storage locations, given a username.

Blockstack PBC gives users a small amount of free storage space to help onboard them, and runs some publicly-routable Blockstack nodes. However, nothing stops you from electing to store your data in your own storage provider (e.g. S3, Dropbox, your personal server, etc.).

Perhaps it's time to change your perspective. No one is ever the smartest in the room. There's always something that can be learned from someone else.
U.S. proposes barring big tech companies from offering financial services
A recruiting tool used by Amazon developed a bias against women despite not being told candidates' genders. It penalized candidates who were graduates of all-women's colleges and also those who had the word "women" in their resume (e.g. “women’s chess club captain.”) It had been trained on resumes submitted to Amazon during the previous ten years, so the tool's bias was likely reflective of real human bias in Amazon's recruiting process.

I think you are making an arbitrary distinction between levels of response.

“more closely correlate with the environment” that’s leaning.

A tree that grows to light will physically reflect information in learned about the environment. It’s encoded in it’s physical form rather than neurons, but it’s still encoding information. In that case lack of sunlight is clearly not what we would associate as pain and I would not say it has ethical implications, but it is a negative stimulus from a tree’s perspective.

Anyway, avoidance is assumed to already happen as a separate system. “it’s already been shown in lots of different invertebrate animals that they can sense and avoid dangerous stimuli that we perceive as painful.“ Fruit fly’s have 250,000 neurons they can encode quite a bit to their mental model. This is simply changing the thresholds before learning occurs, or updating the system that updates their mental model.

As to the encoding, I think physical damage as a negative stimulus is kind of obvious.

He’s wonderful. I’ve met him a couple of times and he’s always super friendly.
I would like to make a personal statement to the tech community in view of this thread's comments:

A vast majority of you drastically overestimate the information processing and retrieval of the healthcare system.

We MDs can all see your superb AI/ML results in journals, and yes you can improve things with technology. What we can't see is how we're going to use it. In my day-to-day job, there are a myriad of new-super-devices-that-automatically-do-that-thing but NONE are integrated into my workplace. NONE make my job less painful. NONE make me gain time instead of losing it.

You want to help. Cool, then stop masturbating on the results of your unusable new oncology deep-learning thingy and push for WORKPLACE INTEGRATION of technology, damn it!

Maybe if the tech community comes to understand how it can really help clinicians, things will start to change the way you fancy and we can finally end the age of rote memorization and criminal overtime for MDs.
Brag, I've been reusing the same backpack from high school for over a decade. It carries about 30l or 16lbs of fluids, I've had the zippers repaired once, and I probably use it at least one a week.
I wouldn't say primary or foreign keys in databases is business legic (unless your code relies on the primary/foreign key existing for relationship logic); my view is that these keys are meant to enforce data integrity, not define it.
