There is one mushroom called the Poison Fire Coral that can poison through touch. It just made the news rounds for being found for the first time in North Queensland.

Yes! A former engineer at Google put together this blog post[0] about an interview question he asks and its pertinence to what's done day to day at Google. It sheds some light on the usefulness of having these algorithms memorized.

Some mushrooms kill you, others save your life, and yet others expand your mind. It's subjective, but I consider it incredible.
> However, we do not need to follow leadership from those whose views we fundamentally disagree.

I hesitate to bring up Trump in this context but I know many wish they didn't have to follow a man who casually joked about sexual assault. Yet Americans do have to follow Trump on matters of law related to his office as President, like it or not.

> [...] organizations need not and should not elevate spokespeople and leaders who speak regularly on unrelated issues that organizations find do not advance their mission, and/or that alienate important constituents.

I agree on "need not" but disagree on "should not".

Just because Kuhn chooses to keep his public persona free from conflicts with his personal commitments to organizations does not mean anyone else must as well. Nor does his belief that he is doing something worthwhile mean it is a universal moral law. I appreciate his integrity but I do not consider it a requirement for leadership of software advocacy organizations.

I find it troubling that a common tactic when someone disagrees with someone else is they want to ruin them. They want them de-platformed and unemployable. It isn't enough to combat their ideas with better ideas, they need them to go away permanently. I would have preferred both Kuhn and RMS to stay on the FSF and engage in a public healthy debate.
And nor is frameworkless inherently wrong, right? Plenty of footguns, but a decent mind for security can deal with them.
I think he presents a line of reasoning that also helps to formalize why finding a convex hull works.
Many languages don't have different language for sex and gender either, but American puritans are forcing the whole world upon their own weird ideas. There's no need for sex or gender on stackoverflow anyway, it's so bizarre to read all these dramas happening in programming circles.
If RMS had said "diversity is important but not our only goal", there wouldn't be any FSF drama. He didn't say that.

His comments are the wrong comments to defend, I think, for reasons adequately explained in the article. Minimizing the harm powerful people have caused to their victims is not "dissent" we should avoid stifling.
Thanks for your work! I've used it and it is simple and just works. No fake loading bars to boot.

> Penicillin works by killing other similar things

Pencillin is an antibiotic derived from fungi (Penicillium spp.). It kills bacteria. Bacteria and fungi are in two different kingdoms on the tree of life. These two groups of organisms are just about as dissimilar from each other as any two living things can be.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Please tell me how taking a controversial position on sex advances the cause of software freedom. The free software movement isn't about providing a platform for people to discuss their sex lives.

Imagine you're in court, say you've been charged with something extremely serious and you're completely innocent. Your lawyer decides to argue your case by referring bitterly to a different, utterly hopeless case that he's losing. You wouldn't cheer him on for exercising his right to free speech -- you'd fire him and get an attorney that knew how to focus attention on a persuasive argument.
I can think of a few: free speech advocates, libertarians, and long-time RMS supporters.

The thing I feel bad about with RMS is that he's clearly not able to read the room, which used to be considered quirky at best and unpleasant at worst, but now he finds himself unable to function at all in a society that he doesn't understand.

Most of the stuff he's saying would have been fringe in the 90s, but now it's unacceptable and worthy of exile.
Love this video and bless his parents for being so supportive of a outrageous hobby! I'm going to shamelessly quote a comment from YouTube that always makes me laugh:

> "This young man has a screw loose. Kudos to his parents for not tightening it!"
I mean, that's the point. People care what RMS has to say in part because of the work of the FSF. Work other people are doing shouldn't necessarily amplify his stupid opinions.
That was in the section wondering why he survived but the other 2 people in the same hospital didn't. Would those 2 people have gotten different doctors or gotten less effort from the doctors?
Sorry, I mean scale as in "large scale projects".

Spark is the quintessential Google-scale FP project - it was even born out of the MapReduce paper by Google!

And there's plenty of other large-scale projects that are arguably in an FP style specifically to deal with the problems associated with scaling them: the Agda/Isabelle proof checkers, the seL4 kernel, the Chisel/FIIRTL project, Erlang/OTP, the Facebook Anti-Spam system (built on Haxl), Jane Street's massive investment into OCaml, Twitter's investment into Scala.

Not all scale problems are distributed problems. Some distributed problems are tackled by FP, and some aren't. Ultimately, these large-scale projects pop up at similar rates to the usage of the language themselves. It's intellectually dishonest to say that FP can't be used to tackle large scale problems, and the problems that occur at scale, because its repeatedly validated that it can.
Cool, so there is an exception of 1!

“If found, the fungus should not be touched, and definitely not eaten. Of the hundred or so toxic mushrooms that are known to researchers, this is the only one in which the toxins can be absorbed through the skin,” said Dr Barrett, a mycologist from the JCU Australian Tropical Herbarium (ATH) who specialises in the study of fungi.
What's the crazy part?
Ah, ok. I only have one experience with such a flight, and there it was much different, but that was also many years ago. They might well have improved it.

Nevertheless, I still felt "exposed", and there were indeed people walking in front of me a lot. So given that I don't need the leg room, it's only fair that someone who prefers having it should get that row...
I wrote the code and you're wrong :)

1. Diagonal moves have a slightly higher weight.
2. I have an edge weight of 100 to go through another person. This makes it possible to go _towards_ the right direction even though there is no path
3. For the perpendicular lines method, the distance is modified to 1e-3
4. A* doesn't work because the heuristic becomes pretty useless when you have moves that are very "cheap": you need a lower bound that's pretty much zero

So for all those reasons, I just went with plain old Dijkstra!
Calling it an alternative to SageMaker might be a bit misleading, as SageMaker is also a platform for training the models in automatically allocated EC2 resources, even on spot instances.
I gave multiple examples. Software liberalism is California liberalism and examples were given. Your failure to address any of the many examples I gave demonstrates exactly what I said, that California liberals are not interested in logic and information. They're only interested in what the group thinks. The individual is always wrong.
The problem is that RMS undermines the FSF's progress by being a dumbass. No one's expects him to solve a moral issue, they expect to him to avoid harming their mission by being a ridiculous troll.
Sagemaker has notebooks, training and serving. This seems to be only about the serving.

The NBA is absolutely huge in China, while it would be a big hit to owners and franchisees, the NBA should announce they are pulling out of everything in China indefinitely.

This strategy would reverse the pressure back onto China, as Chinese citizens will be very upset to not have NBA games and merchandise available. It would shift the focus back onto the Chinese government from its own citizens.
Only wacky if you think insider trading is a bad thing. There's a pretty vocal minority of economist who thinks it does more harm than good.

One of the most objective summaries I've seen is from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (1).

Subjectively: intentional or not, insider trading laws drastically protect and enhances wallstreet's information asymmetry advantage.

They fooled me once. I picked and ate one, noticed it didn't taste right almost immediately. Once you look more closely, the fruit is quite obviously different in shape and texture, but the leaves are near-perfect and the fruit is the right color.

It certainly gave me a quick and fortunately danger-free reminder that there's a world of difference between "hey that looks like..." and "yes, after careful examination, this is...".

>>Less than half of the homeless population neither has an addiction nor a mental illness.

Above quote implies close to half. I just find it hard to believe.

If a person is otherwise "functional" (or as you say "like you") I would really want to know more about their situation if their time on the street is longer than one month.

For contrast id like to point out that in the cases of migrant caravans comprised of THOUSANDS (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/10/20/migrant...) of people and families. Caravan migrants are so poor they cant afford a bus/train ticket. As far as i know most of those people do not WALK to the US to sleep on the streets. As far as i know they are able to find housing.

Just to recap people with almost no education/English/money and minimal social network DO NOT endup on the streets of major cities in their thousands.

I make a point of this - because for this problem to get resolved we have to think critically about what the problem actually is.

And to be super clear - we absolutely need a better safety net for people who fell on hard times and could no longer keep their previously expensive home.

But also we need to be clear about the causes of homelessness we see in major US cities.
Lawyers are required to charge a standard fee and
are paid by the government for their work.

Your goal is noble and I agree with it, but surely we need to recognize that some legal cases require orders of magnitude more effort and resources than others. I don't know how a standard fee could possibly cover this, even if we had different standard fees for different classes of crime.
Fair enough! I think elevating his types of position to the level of "dissent" sounds like a defense, because dissent is something I think is admirable.

He's absolutely free to speak his mind. Similarly, people and organizations are free to disassociate with him if they find his opinions offensive (or even just distracting).

Yeah that's what I disagree with. And its not about board members only - rank and file employees regularly get fired for expressing opinions not endorsed by their orgs.
That isn't strictly true (not in the UK anyway). I was out for a beer tonight and serendipitously bumped into the secretary for the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society[0] and proceeded to have a discussion about the Society, cattle, beef production etc.

You'd (and I was) be surprised to know that Aberdeen Angus sires impregnate dairy cattle for offspring that end up as prime steak. And this isn't just for burgers, it's for premium supermarket cuts such as fillets.

Also (in the UK anyway), most beef that is labelled as Aberdeen Angus only need to be 50% Angus (i.e. be sired from an AA bull)...check the small print on the packaging. It's actually rarer (pardon the pun) to see 100% Angus steaks on the shelves (say as cuts of fillets or sirloin) because their muscle structure is somewhat less appealing to consumers.

The company, PG+E, went bankrupt. The shareholders did eat a big loss. They might still be incompetent but it’s not like they’re making huge profits off this shutdown.
There's a big difference between solving those issues, and, frankly - being polite.

Which is what this is generally all about: politeness. Not making people uncomfortable. Making them feel welcome.

Okay, so given this answer here's what I would do:

1) I wouldn't make it the entry level course. It's clearly a paradigm that's used by a minority of people, so it doesn't make sense to start educating students with it.

2) I mandate that all students take it, maybe in their 3rd year. We're going to mandate it because there are tangible benefits (which we've assumed for the sake of this argument). They're going to find it harder and more confusing because its's different to what they're used to. A lot of them may not like it and won't see immediate benefits. Some may even come to dislike it. Frankly, I don't care, some will pick it up and learn about it further. And when the students that disliked it inevitably run it into the future, they sufficiently prepared to deal with it.

We're back to square 1: forcing it down student's throats. If you still think that we shouldn't be forcing students to learn FP in schools, I think you have a problem not with FP but with structured curriculums.

One of the features of the 787 is that it not depends on bleed air from first phases of engine compressors. While bleed air is considered safe, there are studies claiming that it can have a small degree of contamination.
Besides the trivial rule of "pick no mushrooms", of course.

"I found out that of three people admitted in 2006 to Strong Memorial with Amanita poisoning, I am the only one to have survived; 66% died."

The death rate for Mushroom Poisoning in the US was apparently something like 2.9 per year since year 2000.

He's really just discounting the 99.something% who survive for effect because two died in the hospital he was at. If that is even true.
Lisp lost in a much more profound way recently, and it's very rare to see anyone mention it, especially on the Lisp side of the conversation.

Over the last 10 years or so, we have come to the painful conclusion that mixing data and code is a very, very bad idea. It can't be done safely. We are putting functionality into processors and operating systems to expressly disallow this behavior.

If that conclusion is true, then Lisp is broken by design. There is no fixing it. It likes conflating the two, which means it can't be trusted.
>Are people in prominent positions not allowed to have opinions or interests outside of their job?

They can always share opinions anonymously. I don't know you who are: for all I know you could be the president of the US.

If you're seen as a figurehead of a company/organisation/movement etc, it makes sense to limit what opinions you say under your real name. As the article says, it can be a distraction from the organisation's purpose. Musk is a good example: I work in a company that has links to SpaceX, and when Musk dives off the deep end on Twitter every conversation about SpaceX eventually leads to a discussion about him.

Where I am from (Sweden) many, many people make mushroom picking a regular habit. However, most who do are aware of what mushrooms are safe, which ones to take extra care in identifying (definitely all white ones) and which ones to never pick. Wild mushrooms are perfectly safe as long as you have some knowledge about it. We were taught by parents and on school trips.

Well, it's just advertising that's terrible. Businesses can spend their money in lots of different ways. If advertising is understood to not be effective, perhaps we'll see more investment in things like wages and product quality, which, unlike advertising, deliver real social value.
> The 787 itself is a big factor in my comfort. The strength of the carbon fibre fuselage means that the cabin altitude is set to 5000 feet instead of the normal 8000 feet in other aircraft, and the air is recirculated more often I believe, which leads to less fatigue and high altitude problems.

Also, the 787 doesn't use bleed air from a compression stage to pressurize (risking the intake of various fluids). It just pressurizes fresh high-altitude air electrically.

Look for the word lanolin in your ingredient lists. It's basically boiled down sheep hair. It's a source of vitamin D, but mainly it's used to make things really crispy (when fried) or shiny and slippery (when straight up).

You get vitamin D from a whole lot of other things you eat (it's not rare), and it takes some laboratory wizardry to derive the vitamin D3 from it (versus simply eating normal food to get it...) so nobody is adding lanolin to your food for it's wholesome goodness. It's literally only there for the texture. That's why its in your shampoo, chewing gum, leather polish and french fries, amongst a whole lot of other foods you eat.
