Crap I got this backwards, but I'm sure you still get the idea.
Is there any alternative modal for neural networks without math in it?
Where did you emigrate to?
London, UK.

What do you work as?
Enterprise Architect

How long do you live abroad now?
10years

What is the bottom line? Was it worth it?
Totally. London is a big city and there is a lot of things to do compared to D (NRW). Pay is much better and you get to know people from around the world.
Why is airplane mode a fair distinction? You can unplug a listening device or put it on a timer plug so its only active for certain hours.

If it's possible that your cellphone could lie to you and monitor you, then it's equally possible your smart speaker could lie to you and monitor you

Both are managed by the same firms, with the same rules. If one can, both can. If one can't, both can't.

And just because one bug is required for modern life and another bug is not required, doesn't make one bug more acceptable than the other. A bug is a bug is a bug. If you care about bugs, then carrying one around is hilarious silly. Better to re-align your morals so that you are not hypocritically violating them.
Unfortunately the 4 year old is also dead now. :-(
My anecdotal experiences are as good as yours.

Better pay attention to MS conferences then, they have stressed multiple times that VS is going to stay .NET Framework and how they are commited to keep it as long as there is Windows.

And at .NET Core 3.0 release conference it was visible in multiple occasions how they are fighting the re-writing fatige from many enterprises.
I think we need to get out of this "capitalist" vs "communist" mindset. There are not just two economic possibilities: "everything is an unregulated market" and "everything is top-down planned".

There exist possible future economic systems which use markets where appropriate. Centrally plan where appropriate. And regulate where appropriate.
First, it's been nearly two decades since Norvig's examination, and Python grew the `ast` module in the stdlib, which improves things greatly:

>>> ast.dump(ast.parse('2 + 2'))
'Module(body=[Expr(value=BinOp(left=Num(n=2), op=Add(), right=Num(n=2)))])'

Not perfect but much improved. There are two reasons why Python ASTs are richer than Lisp/Scheme ASTs. First, Python simply has a richer syntax and semantics. (Too rich IMO!) Second, Python ASTs contain extra annotations, like line information, which are indispensable for production-quality code transformation; I assume that production-quality Lisp parsers do the same thing one way or another.

Honu does indeed have a lot of complexity, but I don't think that it's bad; I think that it's table stakes for offsides-indentation layouts. By merely having its primary goal as a goal, Honu must be complex.
It is a true reflex I practice breath holds due to the fact that I spearfish, when I started I could hold my breath for about a minute out of water and less than 2 in water. Funny part is usually you second or third hold is the longest as your body due to the reflex tends to adapt to the higher CO2 levels in it, on the second and third breath hold. I can now hold my breath in water for over 5 minutes due to CO2 desensitization. The average person with training can hold for 8 minutes without loosing consciousness if they are calm and and resist the urge to breath. I have never tried to push past 5 as it leaves a decent window and 5 minutes is a really long time underwater. I can spend 2 minutes at 100 ft with a 5 minute breath hold. I am 45 and am in average to just slightly above average shape for a 45 year old.
You know that something is wrong with a lot of Americans if they're dropping $1100 on flowers or $6000 on a casket... I mean c'mon, $6000 on a piece of furniture (?) that you'll see for maybe an hour and then bury it into the ground to rot?
Javascript disabled here, and I've seen no paywall. Just saying.
I teach mathematics at a community college. This includes teaching a lot of elementary algebra courses. These are pre-college level math courses. In elementary algebra we introduce solving quadratic equations by factoring. In the next course intermediate algebra we teach the quadratic formula.

Students in elementary algebra are not equipped to understand change of coordinates. This is too hard of a concept at that stage in my opinion. The method described in the article is a very nice one and is appropriate for elementary algebra. It ties in nicely with factoring and makes solving quadratic equations quite easy. I will be using this method in the future.
>It's also all entirely pointless, with no hope for de-escalation or positive resolution.

That's making a pretty bold assumption that we can see all possible or likely outcomes. As with most of history, the flow of events carves it's own course, with developments surprising contemporary onlookers and only becoming obvious through hindsight.
> ... I used to use...

I recently actually started using matomo (away from google analytics)...So I'm curious why you seemed to no longer use it?? Is there something that i should be wary about now using matomo?
The logic is simpler.

The makers of Firefox (and apparently Safari) do have an incentive to keep your privacy.

The makers of Chrome have an incentive to keep you tracked.

So it's not the technology, it's business models. (Basically it's the rude awakening to TANSTAAFL.)
If you're going to rename the constants to make a=1, you might as well also replace b with b/2. The solution to x^2 + 2bx + c = 0 is

x = ± √(b^2 - c) - b
I think this would be great as a resource for programming students. What are your plans with it?
Can Genius Win Its Lawsuit Against Google?
Thats nonsense, even if you ignore the past problems we had with race and creed like the genocide of native Americans, enslavement of Africans.

Today Americas police and prison system has institutionalised racism. USA has camps they keep Mexicans in and separate their families.

China and Russia do these things too I know but that doesn't white wash what we do.

> Americans (and Europeans) are very used to the idea that no matter your race or creed you can be just as American as anyone else

As long as your race is white and your creed is western. I would say the same thing about china as long as you are Chinese.
Stop replanting eucalyptus trees. They are highly flammable and don’t biodegrade, and instead litter the ground with kindling in the form of oil-rich non-roting leaves.

People have to find a balance between climate solutions and retaining biodiversity. Looking at Australia, and California, where Eucalyptus trees were introduced a common thread behind these massive bush fires is these highly flammable trees.

It’s unknown why eucalypts thrive and promote bush fires, but the evidence is there.

We should be planting high growth European deciduous trees that have strong roots and give back to the soil.

Instead, environmentalists take a hardline “only native plants” view. In the coming years, if Australia is going to combat this we’re going to have to rethink our love of Eucalypts and start looking at less bushfire promoting plants.

Apologies, I misread your statement, and my response was overly broad. This is my mistake.

I may also have not been sufficiently clear in my messaging. I am talking from the perspective of someone born and raised in a "first world" western developed democracy similar in many ways to the USA (in this instance, the UK).

> I am immensely privileged to have had the amount of support I have had.

The intent here is to drive the point that the support I have received is not financial, and while coming from a financially wealthy family is hugely advantageous to future financial success, there are many other variables in play that are not financial.

When I talk about the support I have, I am recognising the time and effort other people have given me.

Having good parents isn't a right. It's entirely luck of the draw. The same largely applies to your teachers. It really shouldn't, but that's what the situation looks like today. If you're in a good school district, your chances of success are significantly better than if you're not.

I'm not talking about Saudi Arabia, I'm talking about being immensely grateful that not only were my parents incredible, hard working people, who did the best they could with what little they had; and that my teachers, overworked and underpaid, never gave up on me, even when I was a total shit in school, and persevered to ensure that I actually got a good education.

My relative financial poverty during my upbringing doesn't change any of that. I still attribute my success to my upbringing. Not the (lack of) money, and not myself.
The process is called "targeted temperature management" and it's pretty common in EMS protocols. It's a part of the standard cardiac arrest "algorithm".

Haha you're why the commercials work. Hook line and sinker.

Many 'poor' people are poor because of spending habits and lack of saving discipline, and it's a hall mark of the modern poor in America to drive a car you can't afford, own an expensive phone, have a big TV, etc. Whether buying it on credit, or buying with money that could/should have been used to pay off debt, save fore retirement etc, it's trivial to buy something like an iPhone for almost anyone in America.

iPhones are BELOVED by the poor as a "rich" status symbol, for all the same reasons why you think the poor don't own them.

P.S. you can get a brand new iphone for like $30/mo from any major seller. An 18 year old with their first fast food job can buy a big shiny iPhone today.

P.P.S most of the 'upper middle class' I'm familiar with doesn't do iPhones and especially not brand new ones, they do budget phones or cheaper android devices because you don't get wealthy spending $1000 every 2 years on a device that costs $275 to manufacture.

That's due to content creators, not YouTube.
Was going to reply precisely this. Completing the square is, I believe, already taught in standard curricula (at least, it was when I was in grade school), and is a trivial way to derive the quadratic formula.

They’ve also said that .Net Framework is in maintenance mode and won’t get any new features. Does that sound like a carriage you want to tie your horse to?

As far as cloud and server adoption.

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/linux-market-share/

On Amazon EC2, standard Linux (along with its various distros) controls 92 percent of the market. It boasts more than 350,000 individual instances. Again, Windows is responsible for the other eight percent.

Even MS said that 2/3 of their VMs on Azure are running Linux.

Here in Vienna, there is a thriving small-business, local IT economy... but it is rapidly being countered with "cloud all the things" new-economy bollocks.

Also, I once saw a "Linux-friendly" PC shop, literally sign-posted "LINUX SHOP", out in farm-boy country, in the lower Austria sprawl, so.. pretty sure there is a mom 'n pop/cousin shop mentality for a lot of IT needs...
If the cars were able to push and pull each other, engines/batteries could be used optimally. Cars with nearly empty batteries would recuperate and recharge if absolutely needed, cars with full batteries would pull the rest. AP would put the most suitable car in front to minimize the total air resistance... Lots of possibilities.

Might be worth designing a new type of car for this kind of use though.
Cloudflare I believe will remove the site if other nameservers are added. Simply using a non-CF registrar and having a backup authoritative nameserver will suffice.
Some times chrome is dictated by googles profit interests and likes to brute force implementations for their own interest and masking as making the web better when we have consortiums that they can contribute to. It’s not the speed of innovation it’s the why of speed (especially with things like PWA (3/4 years ago), AMP, and Houdini).
This was an Intel Atom chipset with a GPU commonly found on smartphone SoCs, so there were no drivers that one could install on a mainline Linux distribution. It's really a shame that all the Android drivers are Android specific. The machine wasn't bought with Linux in mind, so the exotic hardware not working isn't really that big of a surprise. The reason Linux was installed was because the OEM Windows 10 that came with it was designed for a different market and it also eventually borked itself - complained about updates yet wasn't capable of updating itself. I got tired of trying to debug it remotely and installed linux. Hopefully with a retail license of Windows 10, we'll be able to install a pure non-crappified Windows 10 version and let it be. And the retail license will allow us to transfer it to whatever the next hardware will be.

There really is no difference between hardware support on Debian and Fedora given that the kernels remain the same - this isn't the case most of the time of course as Debian maintains stability whilst Fedora is very close to upstream most of the time.
Department of State OSAC Guide: Basic Evasive Driving Techniques
Living in Italy, in Milan, I can try to outline the situation in Italy

Even admitting that the study is true, which I don't believe, there are factors at play

- most Italian English speakers have been moving to foreign countries for the past 20 years (between 100 thousands and 250 thousands a year)

- Italy, after Japan, is the oldest country in the World, many Italians have never met an English speaking person and the last one for many of them was soon after WW2

- English has never been important in Italy, unless you had to communicate with anglophones. German, French and Spanish are much more widespread either because they were studied at school, are easier for us to learn and we have the majority of exchanges with those countries (France is the main commercial partner, Germany is the second largest buyer of Italian products, including tourism)

- immigration brought here a lot of people coming from non-english backgrounds, in Milan the second most spoken language is now (probably) Chinese. It's easier to meet a Japanese on the streets than an American and a lot of workers in base services (transport, delivery, cleaning etc.) come from south america, northern Africa or East Europe

Speaking a very good English is almost irrelevant, the majority of the people an Italian needs to speak to speak a worse English than them, assuming they even speak English at all

it's not uncommon to meet a Tunisian transporter speaking with a Bosnian mason in a Chinese bar and they use Italian - their own version of it - as lingua franca

It's fascinating

Edit: forgot to mention that many Italians in the past migrated to Germany or Belgium, that's why they speak German or French, but not English.

The tools you specify are already readily available on a Mac.

Office 2016+ I believe runs macros, earlier versions did not.

MS even has Visual Studio available for Mac now, mainly to support C# / .net development (GTK Gui).

You'll find iterm2 to be the best terminal available for Mac, it's a tool I use every day all day long.

Xcode is a phenomenal OSX native IDE, focused mostly on Swift / Objective C, C, and C++ though.

I run multiple Linux VMs using virtual box, just because I have to build things to run on embedded systems and some of the tools are difficult to setup on OSX. I think they can be, but at times it's easier to just push the easy button and build on Linux. I do nearly all my development with Xcode though, but I'm focused almost exclusively on C/C++ and sometimes Swift if I want a Gui layer for something I'm writing.

You'll want to install Homebrew, that will give you tons of tools that you're used to using on Linux.

Hexfiend is my goto hex editor.

Anaconda of course will give you all the python functionality you want.

Smartgit is a good Gui git tool.

I still use TextWrangler, it's deprecated (not 64 bit), and replaced with Bbedit which requires a subscription. This makes me sad and I'm working on switching to TextMate at the moment, but I have used TextWrangler for many years. Probably TextMate will be a reasonable replacement I suppose.

Karabiner is nice for remapping keys.

Caffeine is a handy utility to keep your screen awake.

I'm sure others will have additional suggestions. Play with it, don't be afraid to spend a few dollars on tools that will make your life easier -- everything I mentioned above is free but there are other things out there.

I love doing development on a Mac, there's no reason to be afraid of it.
I'd say whichever perspective gives you motivation and urgency to set goals and accomplish them is 'better'.
> I would argue he does not represent the main stream of American foreign policy and has continually fought against the majority opinion to protect institutions that preserve these freedoms and liberty (NATO / OTAN) and oppose actions that threaten said freedoms (annexation of crimea, etc).

The mainstream of American foreign policy is completely divorced from mainstream voters, which is one of the reasons for Trump's election: the foreign policy establishment has remained utterly impervious to American political sentiment for decades.

Most Americans are non-interventionist and veering on isolationist. They don't want to send foreign countries billions of dollars of foreign aid and they don't want endless US military expeditions. The US foreign policy establishment has ignored this at their own peril. They were able to neutralize Obama's foreign policy electoral platform; they haven't been so fortunate with Trump.

It's not very clear that American foreign policy has done anything to serve the interests of the average American in the past fifty years. It might have done great things for Europeans - I'm not a European, so I don't feel qualified to judge - but decades of American empire building have, if anything, hurt Americans, who have died in terrorist attacks caused by US foreign policy, been maimed in endless wars, and who have suffered from the economic globalization promoted by the foreign policy class. And frankly, I don't care about European interests or Crimean interests if they come at the expense of my interest.

They don't say Chrome itself is bad, and therefore do not seek to explain it. The page is less a technical break down and more a call to action ala activism. Chrome itself isn't an issue, it's one of many tentacles, and one of the bigger ones, leading back to Google.
As much as elementary clearly takes inspiration from macOS, the developers have been quite clear that they're not trying to make a mac clone.

You can agree or disagree with that mission, but it is what it is.
Part of the problem is that modern hard drives are hard to destroy. E.g. try taking a hammer and chisel to them - you might manage to destroy the connectors and PCBs, but those are replaceable, and someone having hacked the pcb to pieces is a good sign it's worth trying to get to the contents. Getting to the platters is a pain, and destroying them enough to make recovery impossible as well.

If you don't have a facilities department that is prepared - e.g. with protective gears and an angle grinder or similar power tools, odds are someone will decide it's easier to bypass that process you describe than to get the equipment and do the job properly. It takes firm management by someone who knows and understand the risks and cares about preventing them to ensure it's hard enough to bypass these processes, and hiring someone that takes this seriously just isn't high up on peoples list (e.g. I've never been asked about what approach I'd take to physical security of server infrastructure by anyone wanting to hire me to roles where I'd be responsible for server infrastructure).
You'll want to look at colleges that offer financial aid to international students, specifically colleges that are "need-blind" in their admissions, even internationally. My school, Grinnell College, is one such institution, which is why we are 20-25% international students. Total need-blind admission and a 100% meeting of demonstrated need for international students is somewhat rare for colleges but such schools do exist.
Having taught elementary algebra for many years at a community college I think your perception of what is complicated and easy are not correct. The method in the article is far easier for elementary algebra students than what you describe.

You’ve proved the quadratic formula. This is a formula students in elementary algebra will struggle with. It’s a formula whose proof will be lost on them. What is shown in the article is an easy to apply mechanism for finding the roots. The method in the article is one that I can use in the classroom. There’s no way I’d attempt your explanation in an elementary algebra class.
What platform do you like for development?
If you're interested, I suggest looking at "readable Lisp". Details here: https://readable.sourceforge.io/
An Amazon interviewer once gave me the word ladder problem unmodified.

I am not a recent college grad, and I don't encounter a lot of interesting algorithm problems in my work, so I had prepared by working through some leetcode problems. But I had worked through only "easy" and some "medium" problems because I had the impression they didn't ask the harder ones. I was able to recognize it as a BFS graph problem and gave the time complexity (and space complexity, IIRC), but I did not finish it on the whiteboard.

Live and learn. Maybe I'll have another go in six months. Can't argue with the money and the resume cred.
