That's why you can `EXPLAIN` your query, and maybe even add indices, to speed things up!

Plus in the last few years SQLite has gotten a lot more powerful, and has added lots of JSON support and has improved index usage. I'd avoid working with lots of data as flat ASCII text, because of all the I/O and wasted cycles to read the data and insert it into some data structure and then write it out as flat ASCII text, but it can be super debuggable.

Length is big. I cut my hair on about a 6 month cycle. At the beginning I can go a week or more without shampoo, towards the end I look overly grimy after just a day or two without shampoo.
People are irrational and complex. Its not surprising.

Whats really disturbing is the amount of "my team is the best" thinking that is out of control, which I believe is learned from the various sports franchises? Regardless, when applied to politics, it can lead to a very unhealthy outcome. The worst that can happen if your team loses in sports is: they lose in sports. The worst that can happen in political battles is that you're economy is hamstrung, your community doesn't get the support it needs etc.

Flat taxes would not help at all, because the government still needs to know all your data. After that it is just computations which computers are pretty good at.
Why is security not talking about compartmentalization?

Well, this is one article and it's always possible this is one of those "write down official X's talking points" articles, and official X doesn't talk about compartmentalization because the impression they are aiming for is "look us, we're helpless, helpless against these threats, please give us unlimited money and power and might be able to fix things, if we're lucky."

That's too bad, as eucalyptus trees are some of my favorite, with plenty found in East Bay parks :(

This is true, but you can be asked to pay gigantic fines. IRS wanted me to pay more than 50k in fine (luckily they were wrong and accepted that right away). So maybe jail is hyperbole, but it can get pretty serious.
This command is even covered in LPIC-1.
My opinion is that the theory starts to make sense after you know how to use the models and have seen different models produce different results.

Very few people can read about bias variance trade off and in the course of using a model, understand how to take that concept and directly apply it to the problem they are solving. In retrospect, they can look back and understand the outcomes. Also, most theory is useless in the application of ML, and only usefull in the active research of new machine learning methods and paradigms. Courses make the mistake of mixing in that useless information.

The same thing is true of the million different optimizers for neural networks. Why different ones work better in different cases is something you would learn when trying to squeeze out performance on a neural network. Who here is intelligent enough to read a bunch about SGD and optimization theory (Adam etc), understand the implications, and then use different optimizers in different situations? No one.

I'm much better off having a mediocre NN, googling, "How to improve my VGG image model accuracy", and then finding out that I should tweak learning rates. Then I google learning rate, read a bit, try it on my model. Rinse and repeat.

The fixes you've listed get overturned by Microsoft. Just because you can hack around windows to make it temporarily do the things you want, doesn't mean it's a resolved problem.

Microsoft only does this because they've been able to reduce consumer expectations. Being a part of that means the next version will be worse.

It is not insane, just not obvious what Grover’s aim is. He is anti-tax for a large number of reasons. By making paying tax painful for the majority of people he is trying to increase the percentage of the population that hate the IRS and taxes. All very sane if your aim is to lower taxes.
I live in a hot climate. I've never used deodorant. A/C+I shower and swim a fair amount and that seems to be enough. I personally find the odor of perfumes 1000X more offensive than BO. I once had to leave the gym because of an older woman that was radiating her perfume in ~25M radius. And that shit was on her skin. My eyes were watering at the edge of her halo so I don't know how she could even breathe. If I didn't smell lilac in there I would have thought it was a chem attack.
I have had a similar thought in mind for years!

1) I should've said the UK has a private tier for clarity.

You will get to see a private consultant a lot quicker, than the very same physician via NHS referral.

Quite literally you could wait months, or pay a few hundred and see the same exact person in a couple of days. In fact, when paying private - the private consultant himself will be treating you, vs. when on NHS - it will likely be his students/trainees that will be hands-on.

NHS hospitals are on a fixed budget, but of course cost controls means nothing - only putting patient interest first /s.

2) As for the insurance payouts - that was regarding systems where physicians bill on fee-per-service model, the most predominant setup in the US:

Is it? What do you think they think of urbanites? Do you think city dwellers being more polite is going to sway their minds? Make them realize the error of their ways?

I do not agree with the language in the OP's comment since this isn't Reddit. However, the argument that Trumpism is a result of City Dwellers holding Rural folks in low esteem does not hold much water.
Have you read Goodfellow / Bengio / Courville’s deep learning book? The later chapters go in more depth than most other resources I’ve found.
> Once a government program exists, it is very very hard to stop it and get the funds back ( from a political perspective ).

Experience in the UK tells me otherwise. Our government has been doing little else for the last decade.

> It's not so much saying that all government is bad, but it's looking at worse case scenarios and balancing risk.

It's funny how worst case scenarios (like monopolies or oligopolies) aren't considered for private companies. Doesn't seem like a balanced risk analysis to me. Internet service would be a prime example of this in the US.

Edit: oh, I forgot about healthcare. You guys are currently living pretty much a worst case scenario (bar there not actually being any healthcare provision).
National Parks exist because we are a nation of united states, not an independent fiefdom of states. All citizens of these united states deserve the same right to enjoy the natural beauty of this country, and no individual state should have the right to remove such privileges from the rest of the citizenry through inaction, nor through lack of management make it less than ideal to enjoy.

Conservation of land is a national priority. As such, no state or private entity should be entrusted or made to be solely responsible for the upkeep and management of said valuable resource for all the people. That's why Yosemite Valley's management was transferred from the State of California to the Federal Government.

As Wallace Stegner said, "National Parks were the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst." (Except for that whole disinheriting the native peoples of their own lands thing... but definitely American...)
The notation is shorthand for the composers' intent, not a computer program to perfectly reconstruct the music every time. Ambiguity is a feature, not a bug.
Arghhh I wish people would stop talking about DPI like it's a resolution. "I don't need a 4k monitor, my 1080p one is already too big!" and "<x> doesn't support 4k" are two types of comments guaranteed to come up during any mention of DPI (which is neither of these problems).

I wonder if it has an internet law already.
Could the US Government’s Objection to Glyphosate Verdict Be a Turning Point?
Here's a breakdown of this particular bait-and-switch:

The first, strong-but-indefensible claim is made—the one that argues "open source" was in play and that there was some "original" meaning that predates OSI and their attempt to co-opt the term.

This is disputed.

We then see a retreat from out of the bailey into the motte, where we appeal to the "intuitive" understanding (presumably first mover now doesn't matter). Later we're back somewhere in between, except this time musing that perhaps "open" didn't mean anything at the time the Foresight group decided to embroider "open source" on their crest.

In summary, the only thing we've seen is a bad argument that was subsequently vacated, leaving a void in its place plus nothing more substantial than vague suggestions that some other arguments exist that can quash OSI's stake in the term "open source".

So you'll have to forgive me if I haven't yet responded with a counter-argument that requires guessing what claims your mercurial stance is going to have you calling for me to take down next without you actually going through the effort of arguing them in the first place—and thus pinning them down into a form that can actually be squared. Are you able to commit to laying out what you actually believe here and your rationale for why it's valid line of thought?

In other words, if you want to hear a counter argument, you're going to first need to articulate the initial argument that you expect to be countered—preferably in the form of complete sentences that can be read as a deductive play-by-play, each point following from the last, rather than non-sequiturs appealing to incompatible values and adhering to no common goal besides opposition to OSI.
That's a great point. Air travel has gotten measurably safer and people survive car accidents at much greater rates.

I guess there's just something more "understandable" about a plane crashing due to an engine failure rather than software fighting the pilot. Or it's more understandable when someone died in a car crash because they couldn't control a skid rather than Autopilot driving into a concrete barrier it avoided previously because something inscrutable in the programming changed.

Perhaps we're heading towards a world with on average better, but less well-understood, outcomes.

I'm a Rust developer and I see some projects using Dependabot. The reason why I'm not adopting it for the projects I maintain is as follows:

* In library projects, many Dependabot PRs are just increasing the patch version of the library. Unless they require new features added in the new version, I think libraries shouldn't do this. This does actually more harm than good because sometimes, downstream might not want to update the patch version of a dependency but might want to update your library. The only argument in favour is that you might miss it if your library requires a new version, but in general, libraries should strive to require a larger range of versions. A hammer is only more useful if it works with nails bought 30 years ago.

* In application projects, I prefer doing dependency updates in bulk rather than as soon as possible: Replacing a dependency high in the tree causes all its dependents to be rebuilt, which causes CPU overhead for everyone who is building my code: Sometimes you need to rebase a PR and you shouldn't have to wait for the dependencies to compile because master branch had to do some update. Similarly, when you bisect some regression it's annoying if you have to rebuild the dependencies of the project on every bisection step. Thus I'm generally waiting to do dependency updates (cargo update as well as semver-noncompliant version updates) once per month. It's no strict rule but still a rule. Exceptions are e.g. when a dependency fixes a bug that affects my code or when a dependency update requires nontrivial work. I rather do that sooner before it bitrots.
Even most Americans struggle to understand this actually. It shocks me at the amount of Americans that still think the government is gifting them money at tax time.

No it is like buying a stick of gum at the gas station, you give the cashier a $10 and he gives you $8 back. That $8 isn't a gift, the cashier was giving you back money you gave him that you didn't owe. The majority of tax refunds are exact this, a refund of your own money that the government took from you, and is now giving back to you without paying interest for holding it for ~1 years
Is that the case this time? I was wondering why I hadn't seen the usual local (NZ) news coverage of fire fighters being sent across the Tasman. It was becoming a regular story for the last few summers.
And even worse if the government institutes some horrible system that benefits some key group it will never be removed.

Isn't it more like international relations working? US citizens didn't vote to end Ireland's tax loopholes, instead multiple countries pressured another country to level the playing field.

No. You will not get beyond copy-paste level without being comfortable with ML foundations. That doesn't mean you need to be able to prove variational inference bounds in your sleep, but you'll want to know why we need things like lower bounds for approximate inference.
This is a bit over my head and I'm out of the JVM world now but I found it all very interesting and well written. One small thing I'd suggest is to change how footnotes are done. I was very confused when I hit the first footnote "1" but there was no title text and it wasn't a link so I just scrolled to the bottom of the article and saw "1. Employing this technique seems to work on Windows and Linux..." and I was very confused as that had nothing to do with "three million devices.". The "1: n = 3,000,000; ..." in the next paragraph didn't register when reading through. I thought it might be a "pull quote"-type thing that would be explained below. There are about a million ways to accomplish footnotes so I won't try and say which is best but some color difference (both footnote number and then the text for the footnote) might be helpful in making it more obvious and seems like an easy change.

Again, great article and I really don't meant to nitpick, the footnotes just confused me a little.
Curious if you're of the square-er or wider crowd.
I was trying to join two 300M lines CSV files using SQLite and Postgres and it took days to merge them on c4.xlarge.

Later, I tried Miller and it took less than 4-6 hours.

It also takes some time to tune Postgres to make it faster for this particular task.
I normally rinse my hair and scalp thoroughly with just water, working my hands around the scalp once or twice. I have a friend who uses baking soda as a shampoo substitute, but I've never felt the need to try it.
As someone who has used that sort of software professionally in various capacities, I think "must-have" is a strong term these days. A lot of everyday software at work is no longer the massive-cost, massive-installation, licensing-headache behemoths of yesteryear.

Also relevant, we do have some software along those lines on our Windows 7 machines that are about to run out of support, but the only way to get them on new machines running Windows 10 is to jump on the subscription bandwagon and deal with all the incompatibilities with the older but stable versions we've been using effectively until now.

For me it's ad-hoc analysis on large CSV files. Large meaning well beyond what Excel would be capable of, often larger than fits into memory on my local machine (10s of GiB).

Sometimes I also use xsv to just do a step of the analysis and dive deeper on some subset using pandas.

In my experience both SQLite and Pandas aren't as fast as fast for large files. So they are not really good options.

Pandas is especially bad because it uses a column oriented data structure internally so reading from or writing to CSV is incredibly slow in Pandas. If you can use parquet that's not a problem but unfortunately parquet is not nearly is ubiquitous as csv :(
NYT's "interactives" features are an excellent example of presentation directly thwarting reader utility.

There's a classic format for side-by-side image comparison. It's called "side-by-side image comparison".

Display both images (or all images in a series), and allow the reader's eye to move between them at will, picking out differences and similarities.

By scroll-hijacking and overloading, this is defeated. I cannot toggle between images, and instead have to scroll up some indeterminate and majickal amount before ... I'm parked several paragraphs or images above, or my viewing position simply jumps randomly about the page.

Some designer is having a fun time, but this is too clever by half.

Please stop.
So instead of the public electing the President who appoints generals etc, the military elects its own leaders? Not to be difficult, but I think history teaches us that's how you get a military coup.
I agree, really cool, also have a small suggestion -- it'd be nice if you could click and drag to "draw" tiles into the main board. Currently you can only click tile-by-tile.
Not sure why this bothers you. Musical notation is, by necessity, a greatly simplified representation of the intended performance. Not only that, but the composers themselves well understand that the interpretation of their notation is itself an artistic activity that is independent from the musical notation they write. There are thousands of recorded performances of any particular Bach or Beethoven work, every one different, sometimes very very much different. And none of them are “wrong”. We certainly don’t know for sure how Bach’s and Beethoven’s works were performed in their own days—there’s uncertainty over tuning, dynamics, and tempo, to say nothing of stylistic details—but we do know that the instruments they had available were very different, and yet their works are still great today, even though we can never reproduce what they were “supposed” to sound like.
Sample size of one:

Study constraints, such as potential adverse effects and accessibility to EEG hardware limited the study to two participants, the researcher and one other participant. Due to time constraints, the other participant elected to discontinue participation and dropped out on study day 3. The researcher is a 34-year old male, graduate educated

It is what it claims to be if you keep in mind that it's based on the Smoothlife extension[0] of Conway's Game Of Life. Words can have more than one definition.

The abstract of the paper linked in the readme[1] makes it pretty clear that the usage of the word "life" should be interpreted as a reference to cellular automata:

> A new system of artificial life called Lenia (from Latin lenis “smooth”), a two-dimensional cellular automaton with continuous spacetime state and generalized local rule, is reported. Computer simulations show that Lenia supports a great diversity of complex autonomous patterns or “life forms” bearing resemblance to real-world microscopic organisms. More than 400 species in 18 families have been identified, many discovered via interactive evolutionary computation. They differ from other cellular automata patterns in being geometric, metameric, fuzzy, resilient, adaptive and rule generic.

I personally started with Kaggle competitions and lots of googling (duckduckgoing right?), but quite quickly hit the wall of not understanding, I felt like a mindless creature who makes a decision based on couple of guides out there. Watching lectures from Andrew Ng, reading some books helped a lot, but I can't see a reason why one doesn't wanna start with theory. It's no gold and glitter, and no one promised you that, unless you're really want to delegate your work to AutoML
The regression application here seems flawed, that assumes a fixed percentage is applied to a fixed amount, where that amount is invariant to income. That is not the case with a flat tax where a fixed percentage is applied to a variable amount. The flatness of the flat tax is on the percentage, the amount (income) is the variable portion that will be more or less based on the individual. The percents however will be equal. That's about as equal and fair as you can get as far as I can see, equal treatment for all, namely everyone pays the same percentage whatever that percentage is. It's a simple inequality too: p$XXXX(rich) > p$X(poor) so the rich still pay more right?
