There are several businesses that grew out of people that worked in law firms or corporate legal departments and spotted the numerous deficiencies and opportunity for automation. I know this is true for most businesses but having worked in that area for a few years made me think they're specially lacking process automation considering how bug the Legal industry is in the US.

I am not a fan of your category (1) books before getting the intuition about the underlying concepts. However while searching for such a book i came across the following which might be to your taste (note that i have not read it);

* Neural Networks and Deep Learning: A Textbook by Charu Aggarwal - https://www.amazon.com/Neural-Networks-Deep-Learning-Textboo... The author (from IBM Watson Research center) also has written several other books on related domains.

Under your category (2) though not a pop-science book, i found the following old book (hence no DL) very good to really understand the intuition behind ANNs.

That is a number with significant digits. 0.00000... emphasizes the fact that it's not just close to zero, but exactly zero. 0 in a physics context can be read as "0 to one significant digit", which can be non-zero. For a real example, see discussions about the total cosmic curvature, which is 0 to some finite number of significant digits, but that doesn't let us quite be sure it's totally zero.
> worked within the system of laws and public behavioral mores

Would you say that freedom riders operated within the system of laws or public behavioral mores? If I am not mistaken, breaking the segregation laws was their whole point. And the reaction they received from the white mobs doesn't suggest they operated within social norms either. Or do we have different definition of "working within the system"?
Reading through comments on async/await-related articles, I wonder if I'm the only person who find the whole concept of async/await utterly weird. Specifically I have troubles embracing the need to mark function as "async" – it just doesn't make sense to me. Synchronous or asynchronous is something up to the caller to the decide – not to the function itself.

Like in real life I can do something synchronously (meaning paying full attention), or I can do the same task asynchronously (watching youtube videos in the background while cooking, for example), but it's still up to me. Being "async" is not a property of the "watching youtube" action, it's the property of the caller running this action.

That's the reason why CSP-based concurrency models really works well for me – it's just so easy to map mental models of system's behaviour from the head directly to the code. You have function/process and it's up to you how do you run it and/or how synchronize with it later.

Async/await concept so popular in modern languages is totally nuts in this aspect. Maybe it's just me, but I find myself adding more accidental complexity to the code just to make async/await functions work nicely, especially for simple cases where I don't need concurrency at all, but one "async" function creeps in.

I was under that for a long time and I'm still learning through therapy how to express myself properly, because it was simply drilled into me that men don't express feelings besides rage, that anything else you feel is "weakness," that it's important to remain stoic and focused in all situations, etc.

No. Caesium 137 is probably the worst offender, but there is not much you can do as an individual other than to stay away from contact with it.

Also, this is not about lethal doses. There is typically very small area in immediate vicinity of the explosion that is directly lethal (like, LD50 lethal).

Most of the effect on large area is through increased radiation and through radioactive elements getting concentrated in food chain and in various tissues of your body.

You might never know if the radiation from the event was what is killing you but this can be measured statistically to say "over X years there is Y deaths additional to what could be expected that could be attributed to increased radiation".

There aren't _fatal and inherent_ flaws known in TLS 1.2. But there are flaws.

For example Padding Oracles are not an inherent flaw in TLS 1.2, the protocol itself doesn't oblige you to tell attackers "You guessed wrong" until they guess right. But it becomes your responsibility to not let them know, an apparently optimal TLS implementation functions as a timing Oracle for CBC mode and can be exploited. Making CBC implementations sufficiently opaque that an adversary can't tell if they guessed the padding bytes correctly is really hard, OpenSSL have failed twice so far already. In TLS 1.3 this isn't an issue, it only has AEAD primitives.

And lack of Forward Secrecy is a pretty serious problem for some applications. It's not fatal, but it's a problem. In TLS 1.3 you always get Forward Secrecy. In TLS 1.2 it was optional, so unless you're explicitly configuring the ciphersuites used there's no guarantee.

Why? Most everyone knows this.
I'm in agreement with you about Typescript, but JS has other deficiencies that contribute to typing issues.

Anecdotally, I'm frequently enough bitten by type issues in JavaScript, but I can't recall very many in Python. Certainly not 15-38%, perhaps 1%.

Which furthers my point (for my set of circumstances): I find the majority of my bugs when I'm writing tests.

If you like yarn I think you will like poetry.

Using --user here, no per-project virtualenv, used to have a virtualenv in ~/.env, where i keep everything up to date and have many -e installs from ~/src. For production deployments: --user in containers.

This means all my projects have to work with the same versions of dependencies.

This means all my dependencies have to work with the same versions of dependencies.

All my dependencies have to be up to date: all versions must be latest, or next to-be-released.

When don't support new versions of other dependencies: I deploy a fork and open a PR.

At such, I'm not spending time trying to make obsolete versions work, rather, I'm spending time making new versions work together.

My perception is that this strategy offers better ROI than all others which I have tried, not only for me, but for the whole ecosystem. That's also how I made my Python 2 to 3 transition, and have been using 100% Python 3 for a while (once you've ported one big software, porting others and their smaller dependencies is easy).

I'm extremely happy about this strategy and my life has just been better since I started working this way, and highly recommend it.

For my own (countless) packages: I use setupmeta which simplifies auto-updates (I think it succeeds what pbr tried to achieve).
This really was excellent. It actually helps with the category theory def.

A corporate point of view is than any programmer should be interchangeable with the minimum amount of fuss. I understand why someone building an injury organization has a responsibility to think about the future.

My issue with using "lightweight" DEs in linux is they're so badly polished. VSync is way off. There are minor glitches all around the place. I used to use AwesomeWM which was by far the best DE experience I had in my life. Currently I use OSX and even though OSX looks more aesthetic I can never achieve the simplicity and efficiency of AwesomeWM. Even then, when I occasionally go back to lightweight DEs and say watch a movie, I immediately realize the VSync issue. Gnome and KDE does NOT have these minor issue but they're also not nearly as efficient as awesome, XMonad, ratpoison, xfce, lxde etc.

Debate Arises over Teaching “Growth Mindsets” to Motivate Students
I think that's sort of the point of most nuclear weapons, to inflict massive damage and spread radiation where they land. Kind of hard to put that genie back in the bottle now.

The history of Russia and the United States shows they are not terribly concerned about casualties or making large sections of their homelands uninhabitable to further weapons development. Why would you expect that to change all of a sudden in 2019?
The generic and ambiguous description of the device may have been chosen specifically in the hope that one might think that. If it really was an RTG, there does not seem to be anything to gain by not saying so. Furthermore, an RTG does not seem to be a likely cause of an explosion, though I suppose you could seal one up in a fluid-filled vessel without effective cooling and without a safety valve.
In my industry, the companies that have standardised on Python and consequently now have large Python codebases are not very productive environments anymore. Perhaps they were once, for the first few people, in the first few months.

Disclaimer: the sum total knowledge of the freedom riders that I have is from reading the wikipedia page on them just now, so I don't hold myself out as any kind of expert here.

Because you asked for my opinion, yes, I do consider their actions as working with the system of laws (obviously) and public mores.

I believe they had federal law on their side and were seeking to make the changes in real life that the law demanded. In that regard, they were working even more within the system than Rosa Parks.
Using Atop in Lieu of Top
The ability to route steering, throttle, and other critical controls previously locked to a couple of stations to ANYWHERE in the ship (including, say, the CIC) is a pretty convincing argument to an Admiral, I'd say. Combined with some modular control systems (a la the modular synth comments in the thread) it would be pretty awesome. The problem here was that they kept getting swapped between stations. It wasn't JUST the touch screen, it was also WHICH touch screen, which is a problem that should be resolved in case they're still looking to allow for control switching.
One of my favourite episodes of Deep Space Nine, "Little Green Men", involved Quark, Nog, and Rom accidentally traveling back in time to 1947 Earth, crash-landing in Roswell, and being captured by the US military. There's a wonderful conversation between the three about nuclear weapons and ultra-cynic Quark of all people being surprised and horrified by the concept.

ROM: I'm working as fast as I can, brother, but there must be some kind of interference disrupting our translators.

QUARK: What kind of interference?

ROM: I'm not sure. Could be solar flares, or maybe ionic interference. Or I suppose it could be beta radiation, but that's only produced by nuclear fission.

QUARK: Don't be an idiot. Nuclear fission doesn't happen within planetary atmospheres.

NOG: It does here. In the twentieth century humans used crude nuclear reactors as weapons. They called them atom bombs. They used to blow them up all the time.

QUARK: They irradiated their own planet?!

ROM: If Nog says so, they did. He knows all about Earth history.

QUARK: You'd better fix those translators fast. The sooner we start talking to these savages, the better off we'll be.

What a clickbaity headline and a sloppy reporting job, didn't expect that from Bloomberg. The title says reactor but the content implies RTG, which is hazardous but many times less radioactive, and is completely different from a nuclear reactor. Also a bunch of unrelated facts, they even managed to mention Kursk disaster somehow. (I guess that's inevitable when there's little to no info available but you still need to write something)

As a French, I didn't expect to see José Bové on HN. He is indeed a controversial person. A lot of his action where as much praised as they were criticized. Especially when it came to GMO which he was fiercely against.

But overall, all his fight, kind of as what the twitter thread says, where against globalization (in the food industry) and in some way for protectionism within France / EU. I know a lot of people consider protectionism a bad thing, but a free market only works when the different actor have roughly the same power. It was (and it still is) not the case, as US had the power to make other actor accept their term and their product, which was heavily damaging the local farmer.

I was very attracted to LXDock, which allowed you to provision LXD containers declaratively. But it is unmaintained, mangled host file permissions, and was not cross-platform. I had to go back to Vagrant, which was heavier, but perfectly cross-platform. I look forward to LXD as a Vagrant/Docker [Compose] alternative but Canonical seems to pay more attention to Kubernetes.

I feel too dumb to be a Docker [Compose] user. Also Vue build tool requires a terminal with full color, handle printed backspace characters and draw everything. So vagrant ssh it is.
