Maybe, but it's hard to agree with that when the information is restricted to two paragraphs and a footnote.
I would say that successful theorists are exactly those who discover phenomena. Saunders Mac Lane is perhaps the epitome in mathematics of someone who was guided by phenomena.

This is why category theory was not discovered, it was reverse engineered! The reverse engineering steps were:

3. Natural transformations

2. Functors

1. Categories

Edit: Of course, when he said theorist I think he meant people who don't experiment physically.
At some place I worked there was a policy that a small prank was allowed if the workstation was not locked when someone left. I'd almost recommend that policy for some places.

Acceptable pranks would be things like:

- innocent videos (annoying videos for toddlers etc)

- change Spotify playlist from rock to childrens songs or rickroll or something

- open MS Paint and draw something (those pranks weren't necessarily small, we got three huge monitors side by side on those workstations)

- etc

Unacceptable pranks:

- anything that wasn't possible to revert in a hurry

- anything a customer couldn't see (we were on display :-/ )

At another place I know someone sent a mail to the team from someone elses account that they would bring cake the next day.

I once burned myself by doing what I thought was the obvious thing: leaving a message in a text editor and locking the machine. Turns out for some reason he couldn't unlock it after it had been locked that way and he needed to leave the campus to have IT at the main site unlock it. (When he locked it he always did it by closing the lid instead of through the system menu.)
From what I can tell in the news, Apple will share data if ordered to -- “WE GAVE THEM ALL OF THE DATA IN OUR POSSESSION,” SAYS APPLE from (https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21054836/fbi-iphone-unlock...)

The iPhone unlocking for the mass shooter was slightly different -- FBI wanted them to create a new tool (that did not exist) to unlock an existing phone.

I very much enjoyed the first level. Already quite proficient in vim, I balked at the cost of the full game - but it might well be worth it in your situation.
Would love to talk to you further. Our stories are very similar.
> From an early age, Asimov was drawn to the communal aspects of fan culture, but he made it more difficult for women to experience that sense of community. Women have long occupied an ambiguous place in science fiction, where they have been alternately welcomed, dismissed, and harassed...

There's a common refrain heard recently regarding basically any historically male dominated domain, that women are not welcomed or encouraged. This is unfortunately all-too-common in software engineering. As a male software engineer, I feel as though no-one is welcomed or encouraged. I feel as though women are reacting to industries that have always been harsh and unwelcoming and feeling uniquely victimised.
The reductions are absolutely coming from new treatments in particular immunotherapy.

When I started Med school 19 years ago the average survival of metastatic melanoma was 6 months, it is now closer to 5 years (ie basically remission). Many other cancers (including lung, which this article pinpoints as being the main driver in falls over the last 12 months) are now benefiting from the second and third generation of these drugs
> Doctors earn high salaries because if they didn’t we wouldn’t be able to convince kids to become doctors.

Are you arguing the reason we can't have more doctor's is because not enough people want to be doctor's? Have you looked at medical school acceptance rates?

> No easy solutions. We have built this problem up over many decades and it will take many painful decades to unwind it all.

There are plenty of easy solutions. Stop requiring a college degree for medical school. Increase the number of medical school slots. Increase how much nurse practitioners can do. But the is fighting all of them tooth and nail.
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

I would like to note that the `Canvas` React component should not be an issue to the HTML `canvas` element. However, I can definitely understand that it might look confusing to some. At the moment, it is still the most descriptive name that I can think of for what it does.
Nevertheless, I'll keep this in mind and I'm open for suggestions for better naming alternatives.
And assaulting women at conventions is cool and normal because it’s what Asimov did, right?
I would say theories and discoveries go hand in hand, or maybe leapfrog each other. They both travel in the direction of the fog at the edge of our understanding.
And with D as Better C, (-betterC switch), it's easy to convert your C project to D, one file at a time, and not require the D runtime library (only the standard C library is required).

The original impetus for this was so I could incrementally convert the D compiler backend itself from "C with Classes" to D.
That sort of defeats the whole purpose of what au pair programs are for, which is primarily cultural exchange, not employment. For some reason the article deftly glosses over this. The general rules for being an au pair are: you’re under 30 (depends on country of origin and country entering), your native language is different than that of the country you are visiting, and you are unmarried. The foundation of the program is you get free room/board and a small living stipend in exchange for being immersed in a culture and helping out with a family - an au pair is more like an older sibling than an employee. Or is supposed to be. Obviously there are ways a host family can abuse the system.

There are a variety of programs like this (Peace Corps and AmeriCorps come to mind) where young people are provided unique cultural opportunities at the cost of earning little to no money.

Edit: spelling.
Well, there are lots of pigments out there available that hold well to long-term UV exposure... Even if you're talking decades, I don't think that metal-based pigments uv-degrade easily ?
Or we could learn from the past, like human beings have before. By acknowledging past mistakes and reassessing behaviours so we don’t repeat them. It’s called progress not rage. If anything, the tone I got from the author (and which I get reading it, as a fan who didn’t know this about Asimov), was one of profound sadness.
> Does that mean the ants were unable to communicate the upcoming danger to each other and had to rely on first-hand observation

Humans can communicate with each other and yet they behave surprisingly similar to those ants and maybe also often need first-hand observation.
At this price just doesnt matter what size of display is or anything else. It is like selling toothpicks for 10 dollars. Yes they are usefull, yes I would like to have them, but the price is so overblown that I would feel stupid if I would buy it.

Eink is a typical case where instead of scaling up, they try to get rich by much too expensive product. This is a maximum stupidity as instead anyone having their product in their home, they will also loose the ebook market over time.

This extends even as far as Chinese dress-up MMOs like Love Nikki where people will use bots to vote randomly in competitions because there are substantial rewards for mass voting. This means that people are directly injecting randomness into one of the core parts of the game, but the players who do it feel it's justified because it's a pain to get those rewards otherwise.
>I'm not sure I follow. The popup shows you the tab you're hovering over. You wouldn't be hovering over the last tab because it's not in the visible area.

That was my point.

>But that's unrelated to the problem they fixed. Right now, when you open a large amount of tabs, it always shows favicons. What it used to do, when tabs got smaller than about 30 pixels, was this...

I mean, I guess it is better, but I wouldn't consider that "fixed".

And how long before the regulations change to allow it? And how much longer before local zoning allows it? And how much before a utility clears all the build and commissioning hurdles and plant trials? And how long before sufficient quantities are in place to supplant natural gas? I hardly think one should say “if sanity prevails” and “easily” when talking about reviving nuclear. We’ll be on mars before we see meaningful levels of nuclear power.
I read his biography about 20 years ago, still one of most entertaining books I've ever read. Don't remember him talking about this stuff, other that his female fans were very rabid. Strangely, was never a fan of his fiction, but the biography is wonderful!

>— Cook County prosecutors drop all charges against Smollett, calling it an “appropriate resolution to this case.”

>“After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” the statement said.

WTF? Since when bribe constitutes a ground for dropping charges?

Sadly, yes.

I worked on an extension deployed to Firefox and Chrome, initially, Firefox was taking around two days to accept changes, while the app was being released on Chrome pretty fast (taking a couple of hours), at that time, the extension was built in TypeScript without minification, my guess is that this lack of minification helped to get changes accepted on Chrome.

After some time, the extension was migrated to Scala (thanks god for scalajs), as Firefox asks for the source code while submitting updates, I guess this change was not a problem, it was being accepted on Chrome as well.

Some updates later, Chrome rejected an update with no clear reasons (it was a 1 line change to fix a bug), after trying to fix everything we could and until it got accepted, this review process took more than 3 weeks!

After the first rejection on Chrome, most updates started taking days to get reviewed (a week long was common), the last update was rejected again with no clear reason, i tried contacting support (good luck trying to find the email, not unusual in google products) and even offered to share the source code or even open source it to simplify the review process, they didn't commented on this and just gave some hints about the rejection.

I have the feeling they flagged our extension since the first rejection and that causes the delays but I don't what could have possibly cause your delays.

You can try contacting support on chromewebstore-dev-support [at] google.com

Good luck!
I don’t get how it’s not a photoshop though, it’s just a really specific photoshop. See the stuff how it would be on land... but it wouldn’t be like that on land at all. This is no more real or fake than any other filter applied to pixels.
I wonder what would happen to the suicide rate with medicare for all, and creating a max-wage that is (avg of contractors + employees * 150), or something similar, w/ additional 'bonus' multipliers for increasing # of U.S. hired.

UBI would also probably help. As a freelancer I've had some really slim months and depression hits hard when money is tight.

There's a very direct correlation between income security, insecurity, stress, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

My favorite aspects: more restrictive hardware access (e.g. no tracking through Bluetooth or running in the background), having access via platforms that typically don't have apps (e.g. desktops), ability to modify behavior through extensions, caching can clear asset data if I don't use the app frequently (e.g. ridesharing)

I have a chat app that my girlfriend and I use. It's an installable pwa, has push notifications, does some caching of images and code, mobile and desktop views. Simple username and password signup and login so it's easy to use on a work computer.

The big hindrance is that iPhone doesn't support browser notifications. So it is really only app-like on Android. I think they are awesome but you are missing half the market.
District heating and cooling, and seasonal energy storage, are both approaches to an integrated energy system which distributes needs over space (district) and/or time (seasonal).

District heating distributes heating (or cooling) from sites with an excess to sites with a need. Industrial processes are frequently utilised, though in sufficiently dense construction, office cooling can be a source of heating elsewhere. Many office towers have a net cooling load at all times of year, even under cold ambient conditions.

Seasonal energy storage banks heat from warm periods of year for use in cold periods. This may be completely adequate for general space heat, and sufficient for a large portion of higher-intensity heating (e.g., water). Storage may be in geological structures, if those are sufficiently stable (ground-water migration will also migrate out your stored heat), or constructed energy storage facilities, often little more than well-insulated water tanks with vertical thermal stratification.

Thorstein Chlupp of Rienna LLC designs zero-net-energy homes in Fairbanks, AK, utilising seasonal thermal energy storage. His videos run long, but are exceedingly comprehensive and explain in detail design and construction decisions.

Seasonal storage is covered here beginning at about 1h18m, to about 1h30m:

Interesting. The cannons would be so loud that, if they're at 0db, the rest of the orchestra would be waaay down there without substantial dynamic range compression. You'd have to crank the amplifier waaay up to listen to the orchestra at seemingly normal volume...

I think the purpose of democracy should primarily be to avoid civil conflict and only secondarily be to represent the median voter. First past the post voting ensures a two-party system which means that people will make compromises while voting and not outsource that responsibility to politicians. The latter might cause voters to not own the consequences of trading favors (which is necessary for coalition building) and potentially lead to civil conflict.

terrible trolling attempts.
> The backbone of the USA in its formative years was slavery and outright slaughter of native Americans.

Actually, most founding states sought to abolish slavery when the Constitution was being drafted. The Southern States were vehemently opposed to such action to the point that they would not ratify the Constitution. As a compromise, slavery was allowed, and no law could be made restricting the importation of slaves until 1808.

Consider, though, that the importation of slaves was banned on the first day which was legally allowed.

I think your problem is that what you refer to as "the USA" is really "the South." The South fought hard for slavery because of economics; slaves were cheap, and plantation owners were powerful. My view is that the powerful Southerners who benefited from slavery created a cult which poisoned the minds of other Southerners into believing that slaves were necessary. It takes a long time to erase all that.

> the last lynching was in 1981

And a school district in Alabama was ordered to desegregate less than ten years ago. What's your point? These are outliers. They don't represent the majority view. You're cherrypicking to make things seem worse, which is exactly what the post discusses.

> white Christian America still worships a vision of a nice, pearly white European looking Jesus

Consider that the book (and movie) "The Shack" portrays the three parts of God as an African-American woman, a Middle-Eastern carpenter, and an Asian woman as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, respectively. "White Christian America" still ate it up. But, according to your logic, they never could have because Jesus wasn't presented as white. Perhaps your viewpoint isn't actually correct here.

> And not to mention their pseudo worship of a man who is so laughably espouses the exact opposite of the Christian teachings. A man who had sex with a pornstar while his second (or third?) wife was pregnant at home and has never read the Bible.

Should a Muslim hate Trump? Should a Jew? Should he only be loved by athiests? What are you saying? People are far more than their religions.

I am close to someone who does things I could and will not do in my regular course of life. I see their lifestyle as degenerative and a coping mechanism, and that's my damn right. Yet, I still bought them a book on their least-harmful hobby.

People can still care and want to see others do well for themselves while recognizing the limits of their ability to affect change. Should we hope that Trump is a failure? That's like hoping for the bus driver you hate to crash into a tree; if that happens, you're gonna get hurt as well.

Maybe those people just see the world from a different perspective than you. It sounds like you're pretty "woke," but have you ever had a kind, thoughtful conversation to genuinely understand their point of view? By mocking them in this way, you're invalidating their opinion. But wait, isn't the left tolerant...
By this logic, you should have no concerns with parents genetically modifying their children at conception, since it's something they've been doing already by their choice of mate. It's just a choice of tool.

It's common knowledge not to bother running a deep model like ALBERT, BERT, or XLNet, etc without at least a GPU. Training and inference with models of this size on CPU's is typically considered to be intractable.

I am not sure if this is common knowledge, and if it is, it is wrong. With read-ahead and sorting batches by length, we can easily reach 100 sentences per second on modern CPUs (8 threads) with BERT base. We use BERT in a multi-task setup, typically annotating 5 layers at the same time. This is many times faster than old HPSG parsers (which typically had exponential time complexity) and as fast as other neural methods used in a pipelined setup.
Why would it matter if it is a "photoshop" or not?

We already use filters all the time on normal camera photos (e.g. Low Light ML on pixels). As long as it's correcting the colour for us to be able to assess it better, and it's accuracy is reasonably high, than it is gravy.

There are real drawbacks to native apps:

- 30% app store payment cut
- users don't like dealing with updating apps all the time
- employees don't like installing apps on their phones for work
unless it is a work phone (not as common anymore)
- cross-platform frameworks have their own bugs and
performance issues
- dealing with app rejections / takedowns / searchability on the app store

There is a lot of accidental complexity in web technologies, but it isn't insurmountable, and there are of course plenty of successful native apps and apps written on cross-platform technologies. At the end of the day, the technology matters less than whether you are solving the problems your customers want you to solve. Many of the technical issues you list are also true for other technologies, cross-platform or not, and picking something that you and your team are comfortable with is almost always the right decision (assuming you aren't trying to do something at the hardware level that PWAs don't have API access to do, of course).
