The depressive episode I suffered and recovered from was not me thinking realistically. With the way the world is at the minute, if you're not angry then you haven't been paying attention. But anger and realism are not the same as clinical, psychological, physically unexplained depression.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a free alternative? In an ideal world I'd be looking for a paid one but I'm a member of a community group with no real affiliation, so there's no mechanism by which everyone could chip in. Plus, the obvious free alternative is a Facebook group. I'd like to suggest an alternative if I can.

This is interesting - tho I would question the sanity of anybody who watches it all - perhaps a daily 10 minute highlight (extended for anything particularly noteworthy)?

If nothing else, the goldfish bowl effect should keep you focused...

Best of luck.
Nobody's saying this is an impossible problem. The paper shows how much additional work is required beyond a traditional data science workflow.

The team behind the paper built a model that had good performance on training data. They're a smart lot so they knew they needed to cross-validate. The results held up in cross-validation! Hooray, the model works! ...right?

That's as far as a lot of data scientists go. This paper points out that you need to have a model that does (at least) three things:
1. Generates good scores with training and testing data
2. Outperforms existing models in the real world
3. Runs really really quickly
There are a lot of data scientists who have no idea how to do #2 and #3. This paper says "These parts are really important!!!"
I think this will happen the moment he cashes out his shares, and goes somewhere else, probably never.
In fact, to increase clock speed you need more pipeline stages, which means higher mispredict penality which means you need a better branch predictor...

Open Sourcing Reagent: A Platform for Reasoning Systems
Being "realistic" is often linked to depressive mindsets because it focuses on how things are, and lacks the imagination for how things can be.

A depressed mindset says, "There's no good food in the house", and focuses on this as a negative fact.

An imaginative mindset says, "No good food. Time to go grocery shopping".

The first is simply "realistic". The later is realistic, and imagines a solution to the realistic problem.
I would like to point out how the PPSSPP project circumvents this problem. It's an open-source PSP emulator.

They have the a free version available on the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.pps...

They also have a "Gold" version available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.pps...

These two apps are functionally identical, only difference is the logo and that the "Gold" version costs money.

So if you want to contribute some cash to this project, you just buy the "Gold" version. Other open-source projects could adopt this model too to evade this policy.

The price you pay however, is that a part of the money goes to Google. Which is obviously the reason why donation links are not allowed in the first place.

Why not use: (x > 0) - (x < 0)
At Onshape we're considering doing this for our language FeatureScript[0], as discussed here[1]

This would make the call e.g. v1->cross(v2) syntactic sugar for the call cross(v1, v2).

The main reason it's not just an obvious win for autocomplete and readability is that it provides for multiple ways to do one thing, and is one more thing you need to know when learning this new language. Rather than having some code call plane->yAxis() and other code call yAxis(plane), it might be nicer to have only one way.

The other counterargument: the OOP-like syntax could support the expectation that polymorphism works like e.g. Java, where e.g. v1.cross(v2) would only considers the type of v1 when deciding which overload to call. FeatureScript has multiple dispatch and will consider the types of all arguments when choosing an overload.

All that said, the change it seems like a win overall, but we're waiting for the language to mature more to see if clearer arguments emerge.

I can. But it's more a workaround. I have to allow all non-google-appstore apps to do this. Why not just allow this specific store? Similar to how repositories work.

Microservices are for scaling development teams. They're not inherently better to maintain.

You just can't reliably work on one artifact with dozens of people without creating a lot of complexity, this is why microservice architectures can be better in some cases.

If you're not going to increase the development team beyond a single smallish group of people, you'll be much more productive and your service will be way faster as a monolith.

I'm pretty sure most SaaS companies want to scale their development teams, so it's basically a given that most want to use microservices as well.
Well, generally speaking, in the world of elementary particles there may be other kinds of interactions (and decay paths) as well as the good old mechanical energy - all waiting to be converted into the electromotive force.
This was awesome. I’ve taken astronomy and physics in high school and then later physics and mechanics at university. But this article explained gravity way better than anything I’ve encountered before.

Probably because Wordpress offers something a bit more integrated and a more complete package than "just" a database. Most people don't only use MongoDB or Elasticsearch, they use it along with something else which then forms a complete product, even if those dependencies are vital or truly what makes them shine.
Their goal is the same as every company's goal, earn money.

If they introduce anything new, the first question is, how that will make money for them. If it is collecting data, the question is, how they can use that data to earn more money.

Also as it has been mentioned by someone in the comments, I'm really not keen being surrounded by another set of devices that can "see" me CCTV is more than enough already. I also I don't want to invite google to my home to map it out.

Writing Great Mystery Plots
No, this is one is just confirmed as far as I can tell.
If the aphelion (furthest point of its orbit) is significantly farther out than the Oort Cloud, then it fundamentally can’t be from anywhere inside our solar system per orbital mechanics. And in this case, its “orbit” is hyperbolic. Meaning it’s going faster than the escape velocity, so will never return.

It’s also a dead giveaway if the eccentricity or direction of its orbit are significantly different than those of the rest of the solar system

Edit: For objects as far out as the Oort Cloud, a few relatively small changes in velocity can actually result in hyperbolic orbits. The real distinction is a big difference in velocity.
no, there is another step (at least).. That is, to understand the benefits of something specialized, to .. say economy overall; society overall; research and innovation; education; governance.. you must understand benefits to others past yourself and your team. This is a higher mental function, do not assume everyone understands this, or that you understand this, at all times. Volunteering your own time is yes, a question, but there are systems effects to something as specialized as modern code.
My app also got taken down some months ago. I had a menu entry called Donation that linked to a web page containing a PayPal donation button. I'm guessing they are just looking for the string Donation in your app.
Windterm will be moved to its own web site in the coming months.

And windterm repository will still exists on github, as I said, many code of it will be gradually released, like some library, classes of data structs, schemes, etc. That is why I created windterm repository on github. I just need time to clean these code when many new features are still waiting to be realized.

I love github and open source, but after experienced last failed open source project of mine, I won't release the whole windterm project any more, lots of feature requests and several tough issues make me exhausted.
There are occasional cases where, with some Python libraries, I need to use a “hidden” _function to do my job. The one time I had to do that, I made sure to contact the authors to let them know what I did and why:

I agree that it _shouldn't_ take that long. This project was first started in 2011. Construction won't start until some time in 2020 (optimistically).

From https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-transit-board-approves-ca...:

> Better Market Street will be implemented in three phases: Market from Fifth to Eighth streets is phase 1, Market from Fifth to Second streets is phase 2, and Market from Van Ness to Octavia Boulevard will comprise phase 3.

> The second phase will also include the construction of a loop in the Financial District for the F-Market & Wharves historic streetcar...

> Phase 1 is scheduled to stretch at least until 2022, according to the project’s website. The construction of the streetcar loop is expected in 2023, and future phases of the project are dependent on identifying funding

So 1/3 of this project is projected to be finished by 2022. And the other two portions of market street don't even have funding or a timeline yet. We will be lucky if it's finished by 2026 (no delays, no recession puts funding in jeopardy, etc).

By the time everything is done, it may be _20_ _years_ to build protected lanes. In the meantime, we have sharrows and intermix with taxis.
Your assessment resonates with me (someone who has depressive and hypomanic episodes). I've always conceptualized hypomania as having a much higher rate of false positives (in such a way that e.g. every attractive woman in sight seems to be heavily flirting with me), but false positives cut in both directions: when depressed, I will e.g. notice and lament minor aches (as representative of an enduring state of physical pain) in excess of what "balanced me" would.

You have given me new perspective on my wobbly biases. Thanks a lot!
> I've seen several fandom wikis

Internet subculture surfing and archaeology is my favorite hobby, I do it for fun, not for researches. I have seriously considered quit software engineering and move to social science, but it will remain as a hobby.

I've spent a long time browsing alt.folklore.computers and Usenet FAQs from early Usenet archives, or reading the long-deleted 4chan posts from Bibliotheca Anonoma [0], a repository of history and folklore from Something Awful, 2channel, 4chan, and looking up and laughing at memes that nobody remembers. Or read the early writings and thoughts of online personalities long forgotten.

The biggest frustrating in my exploration is meeting a dead link that hasn't been archived by archive.org, if it occurs, all bets are off, the journey ends officially. By erasing a webpage, parts of the collective history and culture is thereby removed.

I've also seen the death of endless small communities due to changes of circumstances, usually without a warning and happens overnight.

The lesson is that we should donate to archive.org today, just click here. https://archive.org/donate/

We should just have stayed with NNTP and usenet in general but it had a big flaw. It could not be controlled by corporations.

It's a miracle that email has survived to this day using open protocols, but they're desperately trying to control that too using all kinds of blacklists and tricks to keep "regular" people out of setting up a private server.
Very cool tech! I've always wanted to deploy this on something. Will be contacting y'all in the future.

Seriously no. This is not science. Hallucinogenic drugs also make people psychotic on occasion. Please don't take them, you'll be better off. Take the word of someone who's worked with recovering acid addicts. This shit ruins real lives.
Tversky was big on measuring things, and I wonder if he ever measured this theory. Measuring happiness is difficult, but I don't necessarily buy the idea presented here that it's simply a matter of totting up the number of negative events.

I have arrived at what I consider a rational level of pessimism about some things. When they occur, it bothers me, but not for very long. I shrug and don't dwell because for me, it was just what I expected. Sometimes good things happen, and I can't quantify that those outcomes are "better" for being unexpected, but I wonder if Tversky would.
america has 350 million people. california, for example, has 40 million people.

netherlands has 17 million people. india has 1300 million people. population density of netherlands is 488 people/km2. population density of india is 416 people/km2.

usa is 98 people/km2. we are not netherlands or india.

https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/netherlands/usa : netherlands and usa country comparison

https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/india/usa : india and usa country comparison

continual improvement is aka constant readjustments for optimal function. america functions just fine because of our less than highly dense population/km2. stability is not a negative point. change and progress occurs with stability too. perhaps india and netherlands ought to consider stability and aim for lesser population density.

Plus, the delay slots are typically _fixed_ 1-5 cycles depending on CPU architectures. The problem is sometimes the real delay could easily be 200+ cycles (TLB/ cache reload, bus contention etc.) and _variable_.

There's no way you could cover all variable latency scenarios with fixed delay slots, unless you have a highly specific scenario like a GPU where you control all the internals.
>Any individual or business processing transactions with Google payments must adhere to these policies.

Are the developers using google payments for other things/apps? Because in the context of these specific apps they are not using Google payments, so the policy wouldn't appear to be applicable.

I'm a longtime NetHack player who switched to Crawl, and I've been thinking a lot about the differences between the two games.

One neat NetHack feature is that objects often do have unexpected uses (as well as uses in combination with one another), and at least in a few cases you can make these uses by applying an unusual action to an object. The first example that comes to mind is that when polymorphed into a different monster, you may be able to eat things that your human form couldn't, sometimes with especially desirable (or undesirable) effects. NetHack players probably appreciate on the whole that the game doesn't actively suggest this possibility to them and that they have to think of it or try it to see what will happen.

Another example is that there are a couple of things that can be used as weapons to good effect that are not obviously weapons, so the ability to wield arbitrary objects is important there.

On the other hand, NetHack uses these possibilities as a source of humor and challenge to the player (partly to create a slightly more open-world feeling, typified by the saying that "the dev team thinks of everything", and partly to increase the amount of knowledge that a player can master and bring to bear on the game). Crawl has a very different philosophy and the actions available to the player are, compared to NetHack, more straightforward and obvious in their implications.

This is the one and only suggestion so far that makes sense. It would be nice when cooking. If I was sitting in a bus/train/plane/concert/<public space>, there is no chance in hell I am waving my hands at a phone. I would even feel silly doing it at home.
I'd agree with everything you said.

Yes, we do want talent to rise. But what if we're so overly worried about incompetence that we're overlooking the opportunity to increase talent across the board? What if the way we keep incompetence out is actually preventing ten times as many people with potential from reaching their potential?

Yes, poor kids shouldn't be locked out. The issue is that meritocracy may be providing the illusion that poor kids are not locked out, because they're allowed to "try hard", while in actuality being a major mechanism for locking poor people out. By filtering for the byproducts of privilege, people can claim to not be filtering for advantage while still filtering for advantage, right?

I don't have good answers either. Ideas like basic income and free education seem like potentially good starts, but there's certainly a lot of political agendas and dogmatic opinions surrounding those ideas. This week I'm just feeling like the solution somehow has to invest more in those without as much access without obsessing over the individual returns. It should be okay for society to try to educate and support poorer people and not expect each and every one to make it. For some wealthy people, I suspect their deep down collective cultural fear is that if you gave all poor people enough money to have stable home lives and not have to worry about money, and sent them all to the Harvards of the world, that just as many poor would succeed as rich succeed. That would undermine the idea that we need to filter for talent, and support the idea that we need to nurture talent instead.
People have learned to distrust all machines as unreliable, capricious and unredeeming. Most people attempt to minimize the relevance of computers in their life, despite the massive tidal forces that handily defeat any such sentiment.

Indeed, right here on HN, the very idea that many people simply do not like to use computers at all will raise an eyebrow or two as borderline unthinkable, so strong are these tidal forces, and so betrothed computing acolytes are to their parasitic machine twins.

This doesn't mean that regular people have the capability to step away from retaining limited skills as a novice computer user, but they instinctively deflect the degree control that any one entity (such as laptop, mobile device, online account, financial institution) can leverage against them, where possible, and minimize the damage that any single fault can inflict.

Use of computers is often begrudgingly required, in some cases legally enforced, and with that awareness of obligation and power differential, people are prepared to suffer the cost and pain of being forced to trust something they never asked for. They know that sometimes it will hurt.

Sometimes, they bite the pain and watch it burn.
The short answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no, like with a lot of software. It's not universal protection.

For example, there if someone mails you an attachment that you open, there is a program that can find your dropbox and encrypt all your files....including on your local machine (whatever filesystem elements are linked to dropbox) and drop new virus vectors on your dropbox directories. Windows Defender didn't notice when it happened in our office.

Of course you just revert your file folders in Dropbox (machines that are also linked to that dropbox that aren't the original vector, which should be quarantined) and lose all the work since the last synchronization, but you aren't dead in the water.

This is where i cringed hardest. Wetlands are, as you say, disproportionately valuable in ecological terms. Not just for wildlife, but for nutrient recycling.

Wetlands are mostly found around bays and estuaries.

Now, where are major cities found? That's right, around bays and estuaries! Because that's where you can build ports and lowest bridging points, and those are fundamental drivers of the development of cities.

There's something about this failure to consider basic geography and ecology that complicates an otherwise shockingly bold and simple plan that is characteristically LessWrong.
