Religion only gets involved when people cite it to justify their behavior.

As much as I intellectually and emotionally support people's right to self-determination, it is a little frightening how fast things are changing. It's even more frightening how polarized things are getting. My best bet is listening carefully, being polite, and avoiding offense. Not that I'm always successful.
1. It's not clear from your snippet if the vehicle will arrive empty or with passengers.

2. Even if that sentence is unambiguous, it is not hard to come up with sentences that are ambiguous.

3. Colloquially people do all sorts of imprecise and grammatically inadvisable things like "Give 'em a hand." That does not mean the phrasing makes sense for formal, professional, or technical writing.

4. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If people are confused by singular "them" (they are, but someone please do a proper study to confirm empirically), the construct is confusing.

5. If an author feels it is ambiguous in some cases, how do we accommodate that without branding the author insensitive or even hateful? It seems also unwelcoming to not leave room for agency in grammatical decisions.

People hijacking the thread with their own program without even commenting on the submission. Nice.
While Galloway is always interesting, I felt like this was not one of his better posts - the thinking feels quite shallow.

- Those graphs seem poor. He took a small sample size and drew the trend line that fit his narrative even though the data sure doesn't look to me like it can be fit with a linear trend line.

- I don't think any analysis of Vision 1's success or failure can be judged solely on short-term returns given Son's described long-term vision. NVIDIA and Uber are shown as failed investments in this piece, but, while I'm certainly no expert in the area, it seems like both companies are quite well positioned for long-term success as dominant leaders in their industries.

- The Vision Fund is sure fun to shit on, but I'm not 100% sure what they've done to deserve being described as criminals.

- That is definitely not the right definition of addiction.

- I'd be curious to hear more about his evaluation of Robinhood. I've used both Schwab and Robinhood for quite a while and in my mind Robinhood's advantage has been less about the fees and more about Robinhood being a tech-focused company that makes interacting with the stock market so much more convenient than Schwab does.
Hi,

I've had the luck to work on a 10 years old Django System. Everyone from the 6 people working on it said it was the purest sh.t they saw.

On the other hand, I need to learn new stuff. I tried Express or other JS fmw but these are not new things.

You can get pretty sh.tty unusable code with a monolith, while state-of-the-art is expected to be understood and seek by people that crave for more.

Tbh, I think it all depends on how well a team is prepared, and ofc it is more complex with the later tools, but they definitely avoid a lot of useless and shame code.

It is also very common that business hasn't validated their initial client base.
A matter of taste, probably. I love every other game by Zachtronics except Opus Magnum. With TIS-100 the clear favorite.

Somehow the highly geometrical puzzles don't give me a feeling of achievement. They're not very interesting but do become quite difficult towards the end. But of course many other people just love them.
Why not? How much abuse is too much for you? Is there a threshold I can read about and about any logic behind it?

I could buy a five bedroom house about every year or two in my hometown for the rent I pay for 1 bedroom 1000 sqft apartment in Mountain View in an equal amount of time.

I am actively unhappy with the situation but am ultimately owned by some decisions I have made so here we are.

Many aspirations towards tiny houses i think are motivated by economics and fear or ignorance about what exists everywhere else.

Maybe I could buy an enormous house in the middle of nowhere and throw gatsbyesque parties to lure visiting friends from cities and have the best of both worlds.

Actually the FP fanboys, all the way back to those IBM mainframes where Lisp ran.

Even C abstracts the machine, the ISO C standard is written for an abstract machine, not high level Assembly like many think it is.

Abstracting the maching is wonderfull, it means that my application, if coded properly, can scale from a single CPU to a multicore CPU + coupled with GPGPU, distributed across a data cluster.

Have a look at Feynamm's Connection Machines.
I think you are right about the problems with the EFF arguments and the issues of providing easy shelter to criminals such as traffickers of child pornography (and many other, less emotional offenses).

I'm not for legislation against end-to-end encryption. But Facebook does have to answer those questions about its policy. They will also have to answer for cases, where predators go free because the texts to their victims can't be recovered...

> Does that concern have anything to do with the pronoun code of conduct problem at issue here, or is it totally unrelated other than Cellio's involvement?

No, it's an entirely seperate issue. However, it's a symptom of the same general problem of the company prioritizing its political/profit-seeking/marketing agendas while ignoring its community (there were dozens of relevant feature requests that had been ignored for years, yet the company took drastic action within 40 minutes of a Twitter post).

> I'm puzzled why "avoid using pronouns to refer to people where possible" would be a controversial view.

None of the details are public; all we really have so far is a couple vague summaries, plus a few more hints and implications. However, it seems the company's reasoning seems to be something along the lines of "if you avoid using third-person pronouns, then you're refusing to acknowledge people's identities."

The Cyberthreat Handbook: “Who's Who” of Cyberattackers
I’m a native speaker of one such language, where plural is the respectful form (though lately cultural Americanization imports singular/familiar tone into even business contexts). It has gendered plural pronouns and no natural way to be gender-less except “it”.
It would be interesting to understand why an American basketball team thought it would be a good idea to make a public political statement, on a foreign issue that does not concern them, when their (main?) sponsors are apparently from the country they decided to effectively criticise... It is puzzling.

I suspect this might just be their Twitter guy who screwed up, and might now be out of a job.

I've worked a decent bit with stochastic search (not necessarily just EAs/GAs but also Metropolis-Hastings and extensions of MH) and the search process tends to favor probabilistic and inaccurate individual units but gangs many of them together for reliability.

> every year 2 billion plastic toothbrushes end up in the oceans?

Really? I dunno how many toothbrushes the world uses, but I'll guess 2 per person per year, so 16B/yr. So 1 in 8 used toothbrushes end up in the ocean? How does that happen? I would have expected 99.9% to make it to landfills.
I never claimed there is no abuse. I specifically stated that surveillance, even limited through laws, is essential to most of law enforcement.

Transgressions about such limits don't somehow make it untrue that many criminal convictions in all sorts of areas are based upon entirely lawful surveillance. I don't think there is any solid argument society would be safer if all such surveillance was deemed illegal.
To be clear, there is no way to pass those streets/freeways on foot or by bike?

That's shitty planning. I've never seen such a place in Europe.
I think the bottom line is that 'RTFM' is not a professional way to reply to anything. There's no need for a "retort" when a stranger is asking a technical question - it's not like it's personal or anything.
at the same time good chefs are getting paid way more than engineers and traders have starting salary comparable to senior engineer and stupid rappers and hookers make more than all of the above combined - conclusion is life is not fair so get used to it and adapt.
How do you know the abuse from having those new surveillance tools will be lesser than the good they will provide?
The Jakuza probably appreciated that!

Now they have to be more careful.
Not especially, but it supports multi user and organisations, so different use cases, although it's a decent choice for personal use too.
I worked at Google for many years. Google has so much idle compute at any given moment, they tend not to care _at all_ about you using it. It's not a problem for a Google employee to just grab a few thousand cores on a whim and do whatever they want with those cores, and many people do use this freedom. No permission is required if your tasks are preemptible (which by design they mostly are, at Google). I'm not sure if the same applies to TPUs (I left before they became prevalent) but I'm sure for the right subset of people the right permissions could be procured. Most workloads follow the diurnal cycle, so at any given time anywhere between 20 and 80% of capacity is sitting idle. That's far more than you need to do most kinds of deep learning research. That's why you see work from them that would cost you $100K+ to replicate end-to-end (e.g. neural architecture search). At Google you get those resources for basically free, so it's not a huge issue to just spin up a rack full of TPUs. That's just how things are done over there.

I don't get your opposition to introducing approximate exaflops spent in training as an additional metric by which to judge "goodness" of a model. It is well known that some models are much easier to train than others. It's also known that some optimizers converge faster than others. All this stuff directly affects reproducibility of research. We're getting to the point where some of the papers aren't reproducible unless you're at Google or DeepMind or OpenAI or Microsoft Research. I think you'll agree that this is pretty terrible.

Between two models with approximately the same validation accuracy metrics and inference timings wouldn't you choose the one that's more economical to train? I know I would. Why aren't these metrics even mentioned most of the time? Beats me. Even better if the model requires less _data_ to train, but that seems to be less tractable than just estimating and surfacing the cost of training.
Putting aside the question of what they do and don't teach in law school - over in my part of the world, where, as is normal in the British Commonwealth, law is normally studied at an undergraduate level, it's fairly standard for law students to double major in the humanities or social sciences, where those questions do indeed get asked from a non-legal and more anthropological and cultural perspective.

This looks nice, and seems to support the most common methods for fingerprinting/hashing. This comes with some heavy dependencies, though (which is reasonable):

install_requires=[
'numpy==1.16.3',
'Pillow==6.0.0',

'scipy==1.2.1',
'tensorflow==2.0.0',
'tqdm==4.35.0',
'scikit-learn==0.21.2',
'matplotlib==3.1.1',
],

A while ago, I asked about sth like this (or more about the underlying methods) here on SO:

There are some interesting discussions. (Nowadays, such a question would have been closed...)
How are you going to check the age of somebody?
Requiring them to sign up with an ID?
From my experience PayPal for example doesn't actually verify your age, although you have to provide an ID.
As much as I wish you weren't, I think you're actually behind the curve on this. Barely anyone defines left-wing politics this way any more; it's all about idpol and capitalist realism now.
Too true. I'm in the market for a new phone and came across dontkillmyapp.com [1]. I find this ranking lines up pretty well with high privacy risk + low cost given the hardware.

For those unaware, a new thing phones do is quietly kill apps in order to extend battery, and the extent to which this is done can vary by device and/or software.

I'm only guessing this is what PowerShell was supposed to enable. I've never used it but I gather programs are supposed to offer enough metadata to do this?
Why? Houdini offers an API for laying out DOM objects through custom algorithms. Knuth-Plass is an algorithm for laying out Boxes/Text Characters.

Maybe I misunderstand something here, but the paint analogy doesn't help!
I think both apps are a wrapper for diskutil or its underlying implementation. And UI-wise, APFS didn't warrant introduce any substantial UI changes, especially not ones that couldn't be added to the existing software.
The manufacturers don't need to fix anything though, they just need to push out the update. The entity that needs to fix (and has fixed) the bug is Google itself.
To me, it sounds like a direct transliteration from the native language to English. In Lithuanian, "certified" is "sertifikuotas" which is way closer to "certificated" than "certified."
Adding more partitions will definitely have impact on latency and availability, and you will always have a trade-off between throughput and latency however, Clockwork will work fine for most of use cases as kafka supports upto 200k partitions per cluster (https://blogs.apache.org/kafka/entry/apache-kafka-supports-m...). Beyond that we will need to have multi-cluster support, definitely in the pipeline wink

When you say 'given up', do you mean you don't ask/answer anymore yourself or also that you don't use it at all?

Anyway, would be interesting to know which part of SE exactly you talk about. I've been sort of active for years on e.g. C++ tag on SO and never had any of those problems for any answer given or question I asked. On the contrary, I got a proper answer within hours. I admit that it happened more than once though that while typing a question I did some extra research and while doing so found the answer, on SO itself, and didn't have to post the question anymore so that rules out duplicates.
> It appears to me that your reply was that titles aren't important...

I didn't say it wasn't ever important. I said the U.S. isn't big on honorifics and they are largely unenforced.

If somebody wants to get snippy about honorifics or other so-called manners like elbows on the table, it's largely on them and everyone else is free to consider them a pain in the neck and avoid them.

Very rarely are there more than interpersonal consequences for ignoring honorifics. To the extent that they are honored (doctor, your honor, ranks), there is usually an involuntary imbalance of power involved with immediate consequences, at least in effect.

Nowhere am I able to put "Her Ladyship" or "Esq." on a plackard and enforce it with more than dirty looks and lectures. And, in the U.S., one would be considered tiresome for trying. It is plausibly an establishing scene for a bullying high society character in a film.
I've done this as well using scraped recipes from a website that conveniently labeled all ingredients with data tags for their referral program.

Although my goal was to find recipes that shared ingredients to cut back on wastage. I used a constraint solver (https://developers.google.com/optimization) and asked it to produce 5 recipes requiring the minimum number of ingredients, and was rather amused that the first run included such classics as "boiled egg", "butter potato" and "toast".
ZFS volumes can also be backed by files. In this case, the volumes can be corrupted by opening the backing file in a text editor, and perform a search/replace. This is simpler but of course less interesting :-)

Another interesting article I've mentioned in another post, is a demonstration of ZFS' self-healing capabilities: https://blogs.oracle.com/timc/demonstrating-zfs-self-healing.

But there are implementations of knuth-plass in js, only they are usually not used, as the speed trade-off is not worth it for the web. If you are only using chromium to render a PDF then the speed stops being a dealbreaker.
Yes, in fact, they are. Under the current state of jurisprudence.
It’s not like this is the first time this has come up: what do the crime statistics look like for 2016, the year WhatsApp implemented end-to-end encryption?

If an effect can be isolated to being caused by WhatsApp going dark that would help qualify how essential these warrants were to preventing and/or prosecuting crime.

It’s easy to bend statistics, but it would be better than nothing. Right now it feels like we have to take the government at their word when they say this is an important thing they need, with the only evidence for that either being “we used message warrant evidence in court so it must have been critical, right?” or “think of the children!”
The text of the US constitution has no explicit exceptions to first amendment, those were introduced by the supreme court upon interpretation of the purpose of the amendment.
No that's just re-stating who they didn't rent to. I mean who did the motel rent rooms to? Only people in the town? Why would they be renting rooms? It doesn’t make any sense.
Daily standups are often a panopticon for those who mine story points and their wardens that micro manage them. Anyone not coding (RE, BA, managers of any kind) usually don't need to justify their contributions to the team. It fits extremely well in the story point driven "agile" world where working on stuff that does not provide immediate business value, like code quality and technical debt, is highly discouraged.

I have seen so many dysfunctional standup cultures: Places where you had to showcase and exaggerate how much stuff you had to do and people were looking at you funnily when you said what you are doing in under a minute, places where discussion that only interested a third of the team were started and standups took half an hour, places where the managers interrupted and asked why stories took so long...

I honestly think the admin of that site is living on another planet. SO is an pretty hostile place relative to other help sites. But to beginners. I have no idea where all this drama and handwringing over gender and sexual orientation is coming from. How/why would you even know somebody's sex or sexual orientation on a site mostly concerned with tech support and science questions?
They aren't, though they seem to be most successful at it currently.

To me, this phenomenon feels like a memetic equivalent of transplanting a species into a perfect niche far away from home, where it faces no predators or restrictions, so it's free to grow extremely fast. It usually ends up with it devastating the new ecosystem it was introduced to.

I think the difference is made by the medium. In any meatspace population, most quirks and beliefs are close to normally distributed. You have to deal with people who are different from you in many dimensions. The cost of associating and forming groups is high. On-line, all differences except those a person is willing to express themselves are masked by default, the cost of associating and forming groups is near-zero. Any group that finds purchase in their attempts at gaining influence can very quickly exploit it.

What I'm not sure about is why gender and race, and not religion. It would seem that religion was the original hot topic on the Internet, but we've managed to develop ways of dealing with the issue in both meatspace and on-line. Then again, maybe it's because the way we did it was to stick to the letter of old anti-religion-discrimination laws, but otherwise marginalize the religious - if you bring religion to a discussion you're by default "in the wrong", the same way that when you bring race or gender identity to a discussion, you're somehow by default "in the right".
He. You are in for a disappointment if you think about moving to Madrid for the nice weather. Extremely dry, very hot summers, quite cold winters, Its more continental than Mediterranean.

In that case it's simpler to find the right password entry, click edit on it and add the current domain to the list of domains it keeps for the entry. That way you won't need to mess with the copy/paste button.

I use Bitwarden myself and I only need the copy/paste button for stuff like email and WiFi passwords. If you're manually copying and pasting data, you're probably overlooking one of the many (sometimes not clearly indicated) features Bitwarden has.
