Nah. Like I said, it was a distraction project and I don't do dev for work anymore.
Honestly, making a basic ML framework is not hard. I'm not the greatest programmer. Hell, I'd barely say I'm even decent. So if I could get something working, just about anyone can.

My recommendation though, it must be kept neat and tidy. 100%. Plus, keep paper notes. It gets complex real fast. Spend your time on good naming conventions and being VERY well organized. Obviously all projects should be that way. But this is one where it's not really a recommendation. It's a flat out must. Don't fall into the trap of "hacking" in something to make it work. Not even once. If something is wrong, fix it completely the moment you notice it. My experience, neural net hacks compound really fast into trouble.

Plus, I had fun with my naming conventions. My hidden layer cell class is called a "centralized understanding neural tracker" with the input cells called "data input command kontroller". As you can tell, I'm not a very mature adult. Pretty sure it wouldn't be appreciated in github.
I think that actually it's quite relevant to consider that social institutions actually are owned (in the practical sense, not in the legal one) by someone, and that it matters by whom and how they are owned.

Yes, there's the common scenario of social institutions that are owned (controlled, funded, etc) by the whole community they're serving. But there are cases also of important social institutions (for example, education) "owned" by particular subgroups of that community e.g. the various historical examples of key social functions being performed by churches, or funded by particular wealthy individuals for their community, or social institutions implemented by a foreign government/elite for the locals (both in the case of conquests and colonial empires) - in which case the ownership mattered quite a lot; because in this case the social institutions run for the local people weren't controlled by the locals and were significant instruments of political and social influence and control by the "owners" of these social institutions. Which has interesting parallels with the current megacorps controlling much of the information flow.
Bitcoin fixes this.
If you take a core sample from an established forest it's often got at least 5-6 feet of heavy dark carbon rich soil beneath. That's the case on my property anyways. I had some trees moved with a giant tree spade some years back. Sandy soil, but the top 5 feet was nice and dark. The area would have been forest and marsh only about 50-100 years ago.
Yes that would be a great use! They should also repave the Autobahn, build some gas pipelines so they aren't dependent on a geopolitical enemy, invest in a broken military, and cut taxes and increase benefits for people with a high marginal propensity to consume, that is, the poorest people who work for a wage.
Could also have a lot to do with Ruby. Chocolatey is way worse though (Windows).
Not gp, but I currently use a Lenovo T 480s dual booting Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and it's the best development setup I have used so far. No driver or hardware problems whatsoever.
I've been doing a similar thing. It's amazing what you can learn from CTFs. IppSec on YouTube is also a great resource for walkthroughs of HackTheBox VMs.

YMMV but I use a X1 Carbon 6th Gen. 1080p/Matte screen. No dual boot so some things to tweak but not much at all tbh.

Installed erpalma/throttled from github to squeeze my CPU perf to max. Also make sure to set sleep to S3 in BIOS. Otherwise nothing else to do. Everything seems to work just fine.

The 7th Gen just came out so there might still be some issues but I would look around and see if it's good to go.

I use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Once 19 is done I will more than likely move on to 20.04 LTS
I recently started hosting a dotfile repository on Gitlab (I will migrate away to self-hosting on the long term), and although it doesn't hurt to use the git or tig from CLI (and learn the arguments) I've found Sublime Merge to be an exceptionally easy to learn Git client.

I also made a repository for my shell scripts, and one for my fonts.

I'm using GNU Stow to manage the symlinks. I sync my shell config together with $PATH (includes hostname and OS specific $PATH variables).

Its some work, but the more you refine it the better it is going to work for your different machines.

As for imaging, I'd build a script which you'd run after install and "does all the things". On macOS you got brew, on Windows choco/scoop, and on Linux whatever package managers you use. I use Topgrade to maintain all the different package managers in existence.
Sure, but saying "it's not cost effective" isn't the same as saying "it's not profitable".

If a low-use bus route ends up costing the city $25 per ride that's not cost effective to the point that a different transit option would be a better use of resources and still meet the communities needs.

The comment you point out reminds me of something Margaret Hamilton said:

Also, what became apparent with Apollo – though it is not how it worked – is that it is better to define your system up front to minimise errors, rather than producing a bunch of code that then has to be corrected with patches on patches.

Yeah, time/inertia strikes me as a huge one. I'm impressed that the business is already 25% legal; that sounds like a huge transition to me.

I don't know the specifics of the regulation, and I'm sure there's a lot that can be improved. But I'm ok with toughness in general. The weed stores in my area are clean, orderly, well-run businesses. I'd love to see the liquor stores brought up to a similar level, as some of those are sketchily-run trouble magnets.
I wouldn't try to talk you out of giving Steven King a shot. He's a good writer, I just don't like his writing.

As for my own recommendation, Phillip K. Dick has a ton of great short story compilations if you're into Science Fiction. Technically he's not the most gifted writer, but he was good enough and his ideas were very creative.

To give an example, he wrote the stories that inspired Total Recall, Blade Runner, Imposter, A Scanner Darkly, Paycheck, The Minority Report, and many others.
> records the interactions of hackers

Before you get too excited, I would say that a common mistake of inexperienced sysadmins is assuming all those brute-force attempts in the logs are results of those "hackers" and "crackers", it's not, not even a scriptkid.

All you can get by running a honeypot, like this one, is pretty boring activities by soulless, ancient worms and viruses, or automatic global Internet scanners running 24x7, not humans. Most of those are not even worth your time to block (e.g. if you only use strong password or pubkey, there are few reasons to fail2ban).

It's nothing personal. Any machine will be port scanned, vuln probed, brute forced, blindly hit with ancient "1 shot" exploits (e.g. ?file=../../../etc/passwd ). This is how the Internet works.

Another lesson is: never run any unsecured webserver/service on the public Internet, never ever, not even for debugging, period. Don't listen 0.0.0.0:80 if you have just installed your PHP management system, don't reset your forgotten MySQL password by disabling privilege checking before turning off networking first, if you just installed a new VPS with root password 123456 in a morning, don't wait until afternoon, change it immediately, etc.

The reason is exact the opposite, not because of "hackers" but those stupid worms. Ordinary life is boring: if you run a webserver with password 123456 (e.g. for debugging an issue on a disposable server - just for 20 minutes, you think, then you forgot it), you won't (or unlikely) to see someone hacking into your system, but it's a certainty that one of those stupid worms/viruses would infect your machine within hours, sometimes it's as quick as having your lunch. And it probably won't do much damage, but you would spend your time to reinstall the system again...
Yea this is a great route as well! Considered it but found a deal I couldn't pass up on a refurb x1c6 haha
That's an unnecessarily hard route. Take Dewey around to Laguna Honda and turn onto Portola. Then you can coast down Market or Clipper to your heart's content.
It's interesting to compare some of those things, though.

* OCaml has now landed monadic and applicative binding syntax ( http://jobjo.github.io/2019/04/24/ocaml-has-some-new-shiny-s... ), which I think makes it a superset of F# computation expressions.

* Regarding Span<'T> (or my preference 'T Span :-), I believe F# and OCaml have developed different optimizations and constraints. For example, in OCaml allocation is really cheap. But there are still well-known techniques for minimizing it.

* OCaml also has the PPX system, which allows to programmatically transform a program's syntax tree into a new tree. I believe this allows somewhere around the same power as type providers and quasiquotations, combined.

* Anonymous records are cool, OCaml objects are pretty similar in that they are structurally typed. Also interestingly neither of them supports pattern matching–if I recall the F# limitation correctly.

* Slices and ranges are cool, in practice there are pretty powerful and well-known OCaml libraries that provide those, e.g. https://ocaml.janestreet.com/ocaml-core/latest/doc/base/Base...
Putting aside the accuracy of the NYT's definition, what's confusing to me is...why even mention "DevOps" in the first place, as if it were relevant elsewhere in the story, or as if it were something the general readership would know enough about to use as a point of reference (which I'm assuming they don't)?

Remove the reference to "DevOps", and you have a concise enough explanation of "so-called agile software development" and a cleaner paragraph overall:

> One solution favored by Winter during his recent tenure was agile development, a popular software engineering methodology used for quickly testing and evaluating features for new products.

(Since software teams in the U.S. government, such as 18F, also use agile dev these days, so it's not particularly relevant to point out its popularity in the "private sector")

California's Legal Weed Is So Heavily Taxed and Regulated That the Black Market Might Survive

I am not surprised by this.
Please re-read my question. I'm not doubting there are pockets of change, innovation, etc. That exists. The question is:

What percentage of the economy can be truly competitive? And how much is closer to commodities wrapped in some semi-fancy marketing?

How many investors / VCs are willing to solve the problem of (say): How to make a better kitchen chair? And improve the manufacturing there of?

> It would be quite a bit of work, but it's well aligned with the core-competency of banks

It is, and it’s difficult. Perhaps fundamentally impossible, given it would have to predict consumers’ tastes and preferences to estimate B2C companies’ creditworthiness.

Rates are negotiated instruments, a combination of the return on safe assets today, the risk of that rate changing tomorrow, and the credit profile and availability of borrowers. There is no known algorithm which can robustly balance these variables. If it were discovered, it would be worth billions, perhaps more, and fundamentally change finance. Pretty much every crisis has a story about smart people thinking they’ve solved this problem in some narrow niche of the economy and then being shown disastrously wrong.
Guess it just sucks for people who make a modest living and want to save a modest portion of their income over many years.
Caution for folks: I ran this for a few weeks and it was very informative. You see how simple many attacks really are, how many corporate assets are comprimised, and where most of the source attacking countries are.

But, there is a downside.

The downside is any site you put it on will be flagged and attacked 100x more since it registers as a vulnerable destination. After turning it off, the deluge of attacks for the site continues and I ended-up rigging a fail2ban setup to just deny if a destination port is hit. (See >> https://mergy.org/2019/08/setting-up-a-killswitch-for-attack...)

But, it is fun and interesting to see. Highly recommend but know the legacy on that as well.

Government budgets might not be the same as household budgets but you can’t borrow endlessly.
Well, I guess at least we're cheaper than that since $300 will easily get you 30g at the legal venues. (an ounce is 28g) Still, on the street that is quite a crazy price to pay for it, since an ounce is much close to $200 than 3.
No, I don't believe that adding the ability to reduce the security of your account is necessarily a good idea.

tl;dr: Clojure, Spacemacs, and gardening.

I had similar thoughts about Go. I got excited about it but didn't find that learning it was really that difficult. That's good if you're learning it to quickly use it but I'm looking to expand my mind.

Now I'm learning Clojure. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but learning it (like people always say with Lisp) has been an experience. I'm still working through learning it and I won't lie, it's been challenging. Been having to remap a lot of mental models and re-thinking loops and objects.

I'm also learning Spacemacs. I've been a hardcore Vim user for nearly a decade now. I've tried also learning Emacs but just couldn't get past the C-x and M-x for everything. I know it's a tired punchline, but it's like it was created to be anti-ergonomic. I've been using Spacemacs for just a couple of days and coming from Vim, it's amazing. I'd highly recommend it to anyone that's already very familiar with Vim. It's got a learning curve, but after using for just a couple of days I feel I'm already coming out on the other side of that curve.

In non-tech, I just bought a house and have been learning gardening. Nothing serious and in fact intentionally NOT taking it too seriously and not over-planning. I've already grown my own carrots, peas, radishes, and even some pretty flowers for my wife. It's been incredibly satisfying to make dinner and look at half my plate and say, I grew that.

I've even had some failures but you just stir it into the dirt and keep on.

I know it's not tech, but having a hobby that isn't in front of a screen nor sitting down has been great. I used to just play video games and my body was just not having it anymore.
I've been following the development of this plane for a while now. I remember reading in a different article that the intention of this plane is to be a sort of everything to everyone type of thing. It's meant to replace a lot of other planes that are more fit to their specific purpose and has a ton of bells and whistles. Pilots hate it. I find that striking and it further validates some principles I've developed over the years. Namely, smaller units fit to purpose that compose together to make a larger whole will defeat a single unit designed to handle everything. It also validates that management cannot force a project to be successful no matter the stakes. At best you get a half assed final product delivered on time but untested and brittle.
I just installed Pop OS!, and while not perfect, it sets a lot of default super keys which you can turn off and set the super variants in Gnome shell, etc. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten emacs-like ctrl-a to work by default, though I've tried. Especially in Firefox which doesn't seem to follow any Gtk settings.
Write a report or paper or blog or something about it I guess.
> savers are already joint investors in the operations of a bank

And highly privileged ones. First in line. Guaranteed by the government.

If savers want to be pari passu with the bank’s capital, they can buy bank bonds and stock. Those yield well, even in the EU.
> I had assumed they the prices were set by the market

How could this be the case when the Government distorts the market by price controls, subsidies, regulations, and so on?
CEQA doesnt work that way as I understand. We need to repeal it.
I've considered switching to arch because of that.
I have Comcast and Fios in my market, I can't say they are competitive. They are like airlines. They operate with a sense of parity. There's no incentive for them to be competitive. In fact, if one of them had too much market share might find themselves in legal heat.

That said, my original question is:

But how much of the economy can be truly competitive?
In one home, yes.
That is by design. OCaml philosophy has been to be explicit about code. It's very Go-ish in that sense. So for example integer and float operators are different:

let int3 = int1 + int2
let float3 = float1 +. float2

However OCaml does allow operator redefinition and shadowing, so you can redefine and use any operators you want just by opening their specific modules (local opens, i.e. module opens that last for the scope of a single expression, are preferred):

let int3 = Int.Ops.(int1 + int2)
let float 3 = Float.Ops.(float1 + float2)

Note: the above modules Int.Ops and Float.Ops are for illustration purposes only, they don't exist in the standard library. You could write them pretty easily, though.
Could you elaborate on how the behaviour of German savers differs to those in other countries?
Damn It. Where are these problems today? Or is it a matter of just choosing between getting paid vs passion? As a hirer in a FANG, I feel ashamed at how much we put some of the smartest and hard-working people to work on yet-another-crud-rest-api.
The same thing is happening in Canada too, particularly in the provinces that are taking their time in distribution network setup (looking at you Ontario).
EMH says that prices reflect information, if anything it's a statement about the mean/expected return. What you are probably referring to is CAPM which has this baked in as an assumption on people's preferences.
Creating a lightweight library would make C programming much more productive, and I'm sure many have tried, but I wonder why none of them see widespread applications, instead of writing some half-baked, ad-hoc helper functions.

One reason, I guess, is the diverse range of applications of C, another reason is the lack of advanced features like generics and templates.

But it would still be useful to create a simple library, intended for Unix-like platforms (beyond the BSD extension of stdlib). So it's more of a cultural problem?

Yeah. I used to commute by bike in Seattle but stopped after hamburgerizing my face trying to dodge a car coming out of a garage on the hill between 2nd and 3rd. I have plenty of coworkers with similar stories of accidents or near-misses that spooked them out of bike commuting.

I still enjoy cycling in the area in general, but downtown during rush hour is a meat grinder.
10 minutes ago and already downvoted out of sight, lmao.
are y'all going to pretend this isn't exactly the kind of rhetoric that was and still is used against "the war on drugs"? "legalize it, regulate it, tax it". as it turns out, and as you've been told it would, the black market did not disappear, and it won't as long as the taxes and regulations are present, which I suppose will be the next thing you people will decry.

It seems 3 new separate aircraft would have been much better and cheaper.

It's true that the F35 seems a little beefy, compared to other aircrafts.

A single engine is quite bad for survivability.

While I can admit that vertical liftoff can be an asset if you want to respond quickly to an attack without building airstrips every 50km, it's hard to really justify building so many aircrafts with a airframe shape that allows VTOL. VTOL is a tough compromise on aircraft.

Having an aircraft that can play several roles is not a good idea. Regrouping roles is a good idea, but regrouping them all into only one is really not a good engineering decision.

That's like deciding to design a pen-lighter-laser-pointer-usb-drive-knife-screwdriver into a single device. It sounds cool, but in the end, it's better to see what can go together and what should not.

Unless the F35 has a next gen radar which allows it to see enemy aircrafts from farther, it will be bad at dogfights.

SpaceX is mainly alive because NASA/government poured tons of money in it, so not exactly the best example:

"As a company, their total contracts are worth $12 billion including commercial satellite launches as well as NASA and U.S. government missions. Of that total, $5.5 billion is from government contracts from NASA and the Air Force."

Basically what could have been done (and was done, and reached the moon and built the space bus etc) on government money, is now paid to a private constructor to do (plus profits, minus the patents going to the state).

Tech-related I've been learning Postgres recently. Postgres had some features that MySQL lacked that I wanted to use in some projects. I didn't initially expect it, but in addition to now knowing basic Postgres, it has improved my generic SQL knowledge and even my skill with MySQL. Always helpful to increase the ability to look at a problem from different perspectives.

Non-Tech related I've been (trying) to learn the guitar. I think music is a great counterpoint to coding. I've been enjoying Coursera/Berklee's Guitar for Beginners [0].

Which is a great segue to a shameless plug. I mine HN for comments that mention online courses and rank them over various timeframes, including the last year [1]. Oddly, it's how I found the Guitar course, though obviously most recommended courses are tech related. It's a good resource for finding interesting courses if that is your style of learning.
