For the curious, there is a detailed discussion of the ellipsis in menus in the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines (PDF):

http://interface.free.fr/Archives/Apple_HIGuidelines.pdf

Search for "ellipsis" or go to pages 91-95 of the PDF (labeled as pages 67-71), in particular:

> The ellipsis character doesn’t simply mean that a dialog box or window will appear. For example in the Finder File menu, the Get Info command doesn’t have an ellipsis character and shouldn’t. When you select a Finder object and choose Get Info, a window appears displaying information about the object. The window appearing simply completes the command. The command doesn’t require additional input from the user before it executes.

Also in the Windows 95 Interface Guidelines (PDF):

https://www.ics.uci.edu/~kobsa/courses/ICS104/course-notes/M...

Again search for "ellipsis" or go to page 109 of the PDF (labeled along with several other pages as page 143):

> If you provide access to copyright and version information for your application, include an About application name command on this menu. When the user chooses this command, display a window containing the application's name, version number, copyright information, and any other informational properties related to the application. Display this information in a dialog box or alternatively as a copyright page of the property sheet of the application's main executable (.EXE) file. Do not use an ellipsis at the end of this command because the resulting window does not require the user to provide any further parameters.
It’s interesting how much implied context is in this: that someone old, and related to the military (presumably right-leaning from the “snowflake” term), likely distrusts/disrespects someone young and wealthy from the coasts (presumably left-leaning from geography).

Are we really so polarized? Are hundreds of millions so gung-ho to flock away from the center? Can the whole American situation be approximately summed up, statistically, by these two exaggerated caricatures?

It seems that’s the tone of the article. Maybe it’s right, maybe it’s wrong, but either way I would hope that the real situation is more nuanced than that.

Maybe the situation on the ground really is that bad in some places. I don’t leave my house in the US much other than to fly out of the country, and only know what I read online about it. Can someone with direct experiences in these places shed some more light?
It's also unfortunate that what was once a perfectly accessible skill for most to build relationships without substance abuse seems to be a requirement in later life.

In my country I can use the ATM of any bank (even competitors) and won't be charged by my bank or the ATM owning bank. It's not a feature on my account, it's just the standard way things work here. It's not reimbursement either (as was mentioned in another thread about the US), they just don't have fees for this.
Why are people not allowed to choose for themselves? Should we start banning what people can share on social media too for their own protection? Also not everyone can pay for content so you're punishing people who can least afford it by having direct payment be the only way forward.

It's the other way around. The AI was clearly real and important, but absolutely unreproducible according to the metrics in this submission. GPT-2 is much the same: the dataset was never released, nor was the training code released. Yet would anyone say that it wasn't an important contribution to science?

I admit that it's possible the entire world is currently "doing AI wrong," though. T5 and other new projects have been better with respect to replication. But many datasets are still locked behind paywalls, or only accessible if you have an .edu email address.

I am comfortable enough with latex that I often work through problems on latex. For certain cases, with long expressions, it is actually simpler than handwriting, because I can copy an equation onto the next line and edit it in-place, hence, taking less time and ensuring I am not missing terms.

I have a friend who got so into latex that a few times he would mindlessly use latex code while handwriting things, like writing "\alpha" on the board instead of drawing the greek alphabet.
> it’s one way broadcast so there isn’t a way to request a different view of data

I think what you mean is there isn't a way for _you_ to request data.

I'm sure you are operating a SDR on 1090 MHz as an ADS-B receiver, but that is only half the equation. Aircraft transponders also listen on 1030 MHz for interrogations and will respond appropriately. Secondary surveillance radar does exactly this in the United States around towered airports.

ADS-B is just a dumbed down version of the Identify Friend or Foe system deployed by the military.

Hmm, that’s interesting - I enjoy REPL-based development, having spent a lot of time working in Python, and a little Clojure. How does the REPL experience play with the static typing (that I think) Julia has? If you change the type signature of a function in the REPL what happens?
Just one note: Ctrl+Alt+M is a horrible choice of shortcut, as it conflicts with typing characters on many keyboard layouts. μ on my keyboard, for example. Ctrl+Alt is identical to AltGr and thus should be avoided for shortcuts in general.
It's more complicated than that for ads but GDPR is incredibly vague and contradictory to the point that it has major issues in effectiveness.

It can be costly to be in perfect compliance but nobody is really is afraid of GDPR risk anymore, especially since most internet companies are not in the EU anyway and are completely unaffected by regional legislation.
Whether 100Mb usage is unacceptably large is mostly dependent on the precise features in play:

* 32-bit vs 64-bit application(64 bit will bloat all pointers)

* Methods of loading and editing documents(modern editing attempts a lot of introspection based on highlighting syntax or project environment)

* Character encoding support(Supporting current Unicode rendering would almost immediately take you beyond 4Mb)

Interactive editing is a pretty memory-hungry task compared to a simple viewer or batch processor. There's more reason to keep things cached. If you actually go back to old text editor versions from the days of 4Mb desktops, you'll find yourself missing stuff. Not so much that you can't get by, but enough to give pause and consider taking the hit.
A year ago, I moved to the suburbs of Saigon from NY to work remotely. My cost of living is 1000usd</month + rent, utilities, food, motorbike/gas, etc. While my savings have improved, I do miss socializing with other developers which in turn creates future opportunities. The isolation is great if you're looking to work in a distraction free environment and relax.

I'm a bit torn as I consider myself a mid-level developer at 7 years of experience. At the moment, I'm looking to relocate anywhere to be surrounded with senior engineers who can push me to the next level.

With that being said, I'll probably go back to the remote life when I feel more comfortable with my skills.
As soon as someone puts a price tag on the human cost, diesel engines will go extinct in no time at all. The alternatives are nearly there technically (for practically most use cases) and once that excuse is removed from the table, operating diesel engines will become very expensive and legally risky very quickly. As soon as people wake up to the notion that smog kills a rather large amount of people (affecting the smallest and weakest first), the notion of going after people that produce, operate, own, or otherwise are associated with them might gain popularity. Think very expensive class action suits followed by expensive inspections, heavy fines, area restrictions, damages payed, etc.

Right now the status quo seems to be that we pretend everything is fine even though we already know that it is not. All it takes to change this is to stop pretending it is fine and just say no. It will make diesel engines extremely expensive and will cause people to get rid of them as soon as they can.

If you think about it, parking a continuously running ginormous diesel engine anywhere near where people (or anything for that matter) lives seems to border on criminally insane. Then if you consider that the sole purpose of these things is to sustain and transport a population of tourists the notion becomes ludicrous.
A very interesting read, to be sure. But as a citizen of a country that has been bullied relentlessly by the US, I admit I was a bit angry as I read it. I felt this way because the american empire's position is truly enviable.
For us anti-americans though, there is still hope, it looks as though in the past few years the american people willingly voted away their biggest strength. Bigger than its geography. More and more qualified immigrants are giving the US a 'pass', and with that, the only true creators of value in that country will dwindle in number.

Yea, I felt the same way, but I realized a couple things after living here for 4 years... Vietnam is now a very young country... in the same way that kids born in the late 1990/2000's don't remember the Gulf War, kids in Vietnam have no association with the war. They don't care about it at all.

The kids also do not trust their govt. or the education they get in school. They now have access to the Internet and can learn things on their own.

For the older generations, the other part is that America has, in a way, redeemed itself. First was the attempt at the end of the war to rescue millions of people. We've also brought great wealth to the country and for better or worse, taught them capitalism (Clinton in the 90's). People may be dirt poor, but nobody in Vietnam goes hungry anymore.

So yea... it just isn't how is looked upon anymore.

> They’ll be graduating into the strongest economy in American history. They’ll be just fine.

How are you forecasting that future? Seems strange to read it with what you see now and as you phrase the lost generation that's struggling from inflation & low wages..

I'm skeptical but I think the worst is yet to come for the next generations. Unless all the young adults that are struggling don't just all commit suicide in the years to follow. It's going to be a disaster when time comes and they need to retire but cannot. The burden will go on the young even more so than what we can imagine today.
Indeed. The millennials that have graduated and entered the workforce after the crash of 2009 have it the hardest.

Who hasn't shopped around for a new job every couple of years is stuck with lower salaries than new grads entering the workforce right now.

Most companies seem contempt to punish the loyalty of their older employees who decided to stick around and reward those who job hop, which is ironic.

It's mostly white, NYC people are used to segregation of blacks on their own neighbourhoods and they want to keep it that way. They will miss the faux diversity during the day when the blacks venture into other neighbourhoods for work but it is a small price to pay. Worst case they will demand Montana to have more diversity which means ruining working class poor people life while segregating their own places exactly the same way they do it in NYC.

Which is the really super awesome part of science. You find chimps that don't care when they hear music. You find chimps that make "dance like moves" when you play atonal non-syncopated note structures, you find chimps that make "dance like moves" when you play dialog. Then you go through and plot your results and you show that this particular study isn't really indicative of what is going on.

My mother once lamented "How can they call that science? That isn't a valid way to test that statement." And I reminded her, publishing a paper isn't "science", forming a hypothesis and a set of experiments to prove or disprove that hypothesis, and then having others test your hypothesis in different ways and getting the same result. THAT is the scientific process. And after that happens you know something new and you can demonstrate it on demand, each time, every time, because you know what is going on.
The theory is that Article 3 stops the EU from coming after you (however they might try) if you don't offer goods or services to EU data subjects or monitor their behavior. The GDPR is roughly the size of a novel, and proving you're doing everything it requires is a hell of a lot more work than proving you're out of scope entirely.

The cages these animals are in looks horrendous and I think that any result that comes forward from such an experiment is biased at the very least. With the current state of technologyouldnt it be more possible to set up these experiments in their natural habitat? I'm thinking about a large amount of cameras that track the animals. At least the animals have a better habitat to live in because this view is abhorrent, and so far I've het to see an animal experimention plant that has a beter environment for animals.

And in another light, how valuable is this kind of research where an extremely intelligent animal is out in solitary confinement and is given tests? There is so much information lost in the process due to interpretation and external factors. Let alone the hilariously low N size.

Also horses, elephants and a large swath or other animals have been shown to appreciate music. I don't even get why this party got funded to study an even higher echelon animal of which it is very reasonable to assume it is able to dance.
And no mention of the elephant in the room - climate change.

It feels like we're already seeing it here in Sydney, Australia. We've had dangerously low air quality from bush fires for the last 1.5 months and we now have a serious water shortage.

I've been accepting of climate change up until recently - now I'm genuinely worried about the future here.
Your "delay 0-6 ms" only delays 0-4 ms.

Not to mention the fact that the only obvious effect of that delay is to expose entropy information to timing analysis.

Can confirm. I use to work in hardware before and the pressure was to reduce BOM costs whenever possible and compensate via firmware. BOM cost is also why Apple's top €1000 device is stuck with an 18W "fast charger" while the competition is eons ahead. If they can save money and line their margins and people will still buy it why not do it?

> all those things you're mentioning are side effects and are captured by the same concept, of representing effects by carrying a parameter through a chain of function calls

No. The state and environment monads fall under that rubric, but many of the others are far removed from what you're describing. You can't implement backtracking in a purely functional way simply by passing around an extra parameter, because backtracking affects the control flow. Continuations are even stranger—they're not even algebraic!

> I'm not backing down from the core claim that Moggi realised that CT monads are a nice formalization of side effects in pure functional programming

No, Moggi's paper was about formalizing the semantics of impure programming languages. It wasn't until Wadler that we started using monads to model side effects in pure functional programming. Please read the actual research before citing it.

> For every repair and every upgrade, The Strand would have to go through the slow bureaucracy of the Landmarks Preservation Commission which adds to the expanses to keep Strand alive.

The reason they bury this line is that it's a lie. 826/828 Broadway was only designated for its exterior not interior (http://s-media.nyc.gov/agencies/lpc/lp/2615.pdf) as was widely reported at the time (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/30/arts/design/strand-bookst...). They can repair anything they want inside the building, small outside repairs are allowed, but anything that changes the character of the outside of the building must be approved.

This was a great move by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
It depends on what are your goals?
Is there any solution in sight?
Massage (part 2) – Indian head massage
You often receive tax breaks when you own a landmark property to compensate for the increased difficulty and higher standard of maintenance, as well as the fact that you're effectively providing a public service. Many historic towns have an equivalent status. Why do you say it's a cash grab for the city? I could be wrong, but I don't believe the city receives any revenue for this.

Also, I wouldn't really describe NoHo as a hipster area. It's basically a commercial zone,albeit sandwiched in between two areas that might be considered hipster (East Village and Greenwich Village).

I don't think reproducibility is about scientific method. It is about trust -- ie is the claim correct and stable. This is also why reproducibility is important in science.

I don't think the scientific method (in the sense of hypothesis->experiment->observation->theory) has anything to do with reproducibility. Frankly, I am not even sure it is necessary for good work, whether it is in ML/DL or in an established basic science. Scientific method is definitely not how most practitioners experience doing research.

> Ideally I think I'd want a remote cabin in Montana with a high speed internet connection

That's a fantasy unless you consider 3mbps DSL to be 'high speed'.

And that's not even remote, that's often the highest speed available not even an hour outside of many major US cities out west.
On the other end of this is the proposal to redesign the Notre Damn to have a glass ceiling after the fire. A glass ceiling is actually surprisingly popular and would make the building look amazing both outside and inside it. Unfortunately, this proposal was shot down pretty quickly despite public support in order to stick to the status quo.
That sounds pretty annoying, even just for the exterior. Right?
My daughters only experience with linear television programming is in lobbies and my families houses for the holidays/visiting grandpa. It’s interesting to watch a generation grow up that literally doesn’t know what traditional TV looks like, and I’m fucking glad because it sucked.

Too bad new issues of content fragmentation are developing in its place - I’m at least thankful Apple is starting to tackle it with “channels” in the Apple TV app and hardware, I still have to juggle subscriptions but at least I have a consistent interface to all of them.
