Yes, and MIT (correctly) dropped Sussman and Abelson's head-in-the-clouds intro class in favor of a practical one that actually teaches you about computers.

I took Abelson and Sussman's class myself, as an MIT undergrad, just before it was phased out. I got a lot out of it, because I had already been using UNIX and writing code for years at home as a teenager. If you didn't have that background it would be useless to you.

"Computer science isn't about computers" is a similar statement to "English composition isn't about pens or keyboards." If you can't use the tools, you won't get very much work done. A writer is fortunate that our grade schools generally teach handwriting and/or typing - but if they didn't, a college degree on how to tell compelling stories and understand the monomyth isn't going to help you actually write books. Computer science isn't about using editors or shells, but if you don't come in with knowledge of editors or shells, you won't get very much done.
Saw this two nights ago installing the driver on Windows 10. Read the UELA. Did not consent, closed the window. Is that good enough?

By the way, My tablet works MUCH BETTER on Ubuntu and Mint than on Windows 10. Krita and MyPaint are cross platform so I might just do my art on a *nix box instead.
Just wanted to say thanks for this tip. It's now implemented live on Soundslice! :-)
Apparently, there were some issues around not completing the app with time to get into the App Store, making users by-pass their phone’s security settings. Something like 75% of the users couldn’t figure it out.

I also understand that there were security issues but I don’t know if that’s true or not but it seems plausible for a rush job.

So you’re saying it was no big deal and the media exaggerated the issues? I don’t doubt it.
Time and money.

Example: I grew up in a large joint family. In the family kitchen, everyone had a chore. Often around 20-40 mts time investment each benefited 12 people’s meals. Cooking for myself or even two people is at least one hour. My time is better spent doing other things. I would rather hire a cook.

Otoh, it’s also a timesaver and money saver if we could have a hired a cook to feed 12 people, but the family had seniors, kids, teens and working adults and stay at home moms. It was also a way for our grandmother to teach us family recipes and chores. That was invaluable. We also learnt time management, budgeting and cooking informally. Those are life lessons. Priceless. Now this..As an adult in a nuclear family, it’s a drain on my time. And time is money too. Ditto with driving.

Example: it costs $6.99 for A2 milk from Whole Foods delivered free. $5 tip for $40 worth of deliveries. The cheapest A2 milk in a store is 9.99/three cartons at Costco. That’s one hour shopping+driving plus gas. And I can’t buy in small quantities. I can’t manage groceries on a week to week basis. Net net, the seemingly more expensive option is the cheapest one.

Not including the carbon footprint benefit. One person delivering to ten homes on a route is better than 10 people driving to different stores to pick up milk. Time. The arrow of time goes in only one direction. Can’t reverse time and hence it has become more valuable. Take communal time and communal value for money too.

If I were a mom dropping off my kids at two different schools, that time shopping and driving for milk runs is better spent as quality time with my kids. Even if it’s pure comfort factor. Kicking back and watching a movie is totally worth the money. It’s hedonism at a very small price. Discomfort is not a virtue nor is it a teachable moment.

There is a quality I’d like to call ‘slack’. It’s the stress adjustment factor. If your inner space is taut and always stretched end to end, it would snap. Makes you inflexible. Frayed. No ‘give’ to personality. That has a huge impact..esp with relationships even if it’s with yourself. Slack makes it better. Let’s you live longer and better without snapping. Avoiding discomfort is a survival skill.

Having said that, discomfort is essential to children. It is an experience and a teachable skill. Interestingly, I have been observing that we pad our younger generation’s life and make them soft by catering to their every need while parents fray and become brittle. When the kids grow up, they are never going to understand ‘discomfort’ and when it becomes unavoidable (as it goes in life) and unable to adjust, they are going to break down.

Adults need to embrace slack and pass on discomfort to the next generation. They have rightly been dubbed entitled. And we are no longer children and our time in discomfort training camp is over.

Perhaps it makes more sense when viewed from the perspective of the child?

Every child has the right to spend time with their parents. Every child has the right to an education. And so on. You should not be given less parental time just because you were born with nine siblings. It's not your choice.

I believe the "unwashed masses having lots of children and draining the wellfare systems" is a quite popular far right anti-immigration trope. And while that may even be true somewhere, as long as it remains individual cases, the economic impact on society is still net positive as long as those kids get an education and a job.
Unless I'm very much mistaken, there are no application specific configs set on default install of Wacom drivers, just a generic 'All' profile.

If, and only if, I had set up an app-specific config, then maybe Wacom would be vaguely justified in tracking when I open that specific app.

'wantonly collecting unrelated data' is exactly what they're doing.

Software side you're right, it makes sense for the driver to keep track of the current application for things like button binds, etc.

But that doesn't mean they need to transmit that information off your computer.

Although I agree, this is likely relatively benign, it's most likely useful as a market research tool to see what applications they should prioritize support/testing for.
Your line of conversation was spiraling towards the philosophical underpinning of knowledge. The parent poster cheekily pushed you off the cliff and ran away.

Appealing to the authority of Jacobin and Chomsky won't get you back. Doubly so when the question that started this whole thing is (I hope you don't find this uncharitable paraphrasing): when do claims of foo rise to the level of "genuine foobar"?
Yes, frequently. Although I prefer that to being interrupted by instant messaging.

I learned how to cope with this many years ago. I developed a habit (meaning I don't even really notice that I do this anymore, so it doesn't break my concentration) that if someone is trying to interrupt me while I'm "in the flow", I'll just raise my hand up to them, a bit like "talk to the hand". They know this means go away and come back later, or send me an email.

In any other circumstance, I am very responsive to people.
Yeah I remember visiting it before 2017. No offense, but before that it was a shady looking website. I tested it once and the drop rate was high, slow delivery time, etc.

Now its professional looking and I guess is an actual competitor to Mailgun. Glad youve turned it around.
I'm a director of engineering with tech leads/engineering managers who are considering their career paths carefully. This post was helpful to us. My highlights from this post:

It was interesting to read her reasoning for why a “tour of duty” as a manager should be 2-3 years. That’s a very tight time range, so if she’s right then that increases the stakes for making good decisions along the way.

There is a tension between her point that management is painful and engineers shouldn’t pursue it long-term (and in the comments said that she doesn’t know many engineers who are happy doing it) but and her point that if managers earn more than engineers it becomes harder to move back to engineering. The increased salary for managers is at least partially a result of the fact that many people wouldn’t become managers otherwise.

My favorite piece of advice was “stop writing code in the critical path”. Someone told me that when I first started moving into management, and it was very helpful.
You are doing it exactly right.

Exceptions are when you spend a long time and things (service, ambiance, whatever) stand out to you and your party: then feel welcome to tip whatever you like.

But an important observation is that here money is respected. 0,10 0,50 1,00 it is all treated with respect. This is why "overtipping" is frowned upon.

>Being indoors all the time or having to care for a child 24/7 can be extremely isolating

This doesn't jibe with my experience at all. My wife is quite enjoying being at home with the baby, and gets to spend as much time outdoors as she cares for, even in the harsh Canadian winter.

Sure there are some sleepless nights (for both of us), but I'm not sure where this idea comes from that caring for a baby is a 24/7 slog. Close friends of ours had 3 children in 4.5 years, and even they don't talk like it's utter drudgery. I guess YMMV.
Your child is not a human-to-be, that's a trap I fell into. They are a human now, your son or daughter. We might think we're educating, nurturing them, growing them so they become good adults -- but it's the journey as much as the destination. Children deserve fulfillment in their lives too, not just a hope of future fulfillment. For a baby that means warm cuddles, soft voices, smiles, the care of those that love them -- despite their infirmity and dependency.

I think you're both missing out substantially if you think you can just jump in later after all the messy, hard, stuff is over.
In my experience from spending several years in Japan where a lot of women opt out of continuing their career after getting married/having a child: a lot of time is spent socializing with other housewives. But the harsh economic realities mean that more and more women have to work to keep the household afloat, whether they want to or not.
They also often share power among some number of blades. When the spectrum is how co aolidated software and hardware are, it is a bit apart from separate physical instances, as the fault tolerance isn't quite the same.
“ While the illusion of motion works at 16 fps, it works better at higher frame rates. Thomas Edison, to whom we owe a lot of debt to for this whole operation (light bulbs, motion picture film, Direct Current, etc.) believed that the optimal frame rate was 46 frames per second. Anything lower than that resulted in discomfort and eventual exhaustion in audience. So Edison built a camera and film projection system that operated at at a high frame rate.

But with the slowness of film stocks and high cost of film, this was a non-starter. Economics dictated shooting closer to the threshold of the illusion, and most silent films were filmed around 16-18 frames per second (fps), then projected closer to 20-24 fps. This is why motion in those old silent films is so comical, the film is sped up.”

https://www.filmindependent.org/blog/hacking-film-24-frames-...

Another take on film speeds says that films were projected at a variety of speeds, depending on the original filming as well as the economics of fitting multiple showings into a schedule. https://web.archive.org/web/20110724032550/http://www.cinema...

Well, picking up the language itself is one thing (and I agree, that's quite easy with Go), but getting familiar with the ecosystem, best practices and avoiding habits from other languages? That's an entirely different thing.

And that's also how management usually sees it, and if they're smart they also realise that the first project using an unfamiliar technology is usually one to throw away.

Those couple of months in the beginning are not going to change the fact that right after that those kids are going to end up in some nursery because the women have to go to work just so the family can pay the rent.

So instead of at least a mother being "actively present in their life" and a father that finish work at 5 we now got two parents working late just to make ends meet.

Most of the women in the workforce are not creating any new businesses or jobs or anything of value, they are still sponsored by men work in all kind of myriad ways, unless working in some form of care taking, effectively outsourcing other women motherhood roles. That's why you got so much more problems these days with kids like ADHD and kids on the "spectrum".

Feminism destroyed the western family, there is no way around it and no bandages are going to solve the issue. I can see how much time my parents generation had for us and how much we got today for our children, it is not getting any better, mothers are miserable and the rate of divorce or single motherhood are huge. We must think of a different way and stop sticking our head in the sand while patting our backs for this disaster.
So you think it’s coincidence these orgs are made of former high level Clinton campaign staffers?
If you want both parents to be independent, then (for the vast majority of people who are not very wealthy) of course both need to be employed or able to quickly become employed. Do you need a source for that?

Both of those take time, and that's time taken away from the children, which parents do not have in abundance. Do you need a source for that?
As this caucus was administered and paid for by the Iowa Democratic Party, a private corporation, this is not a classical example of government waste and corruption, unless you're making the subsidiary argument that government shouldn't farm out or privatize essential functions like elections, which I would agree with.
Fixed that for you:

Because it's not about individuals making good or bad decisions, but about building a good, equal society. And importantly this means caring for children as a collective society.
I agree that nothing's wrong with making the choice to be a stay at home mother (or father), especially when children are very young and not at school. But as a society we have organised ourselves in such a way that this choice is economically and socially much harder to make than it used to be and in my view much harder to make than it should be.

One of the problems in particular is that it is far too hard for people to come back to the workplace after taking a 5 or 6 year career break to look after children while they're young. People know this and it too often forces them into one of two paths - give up on their career entirely, or go back to work much sooner than they wanted to.
Hopefully when you have a family you'll have the awareness and empathy to notice that the mother actually might need more than zero help or companionship during the months she's trying to live on no sleep with tears in her vagina and letting your child bite on her nipples.
You can buy tablet computers from Wacom, I have a “Wacom Mobile Studio” gathering dust that I really should get rid of someday. Just didn’t fit into my art workflow better than a laptop and an old Wacom Intuos 4 stuffed into the bag next to it.

They do mostly make external pen input devices, with or without screens. Which people have been calling “drawing tablets” since loooong before “tablet computer” was a phrase anyone used outside of maybe science fiction.

EDIT can you think of a destructuring method that operates with access by name, rather than by position?

(lo, hi) = getLim();

It seems to me it would have to be something like:

Lim lim = getLim();
lo = lim.minimum;
hi = lim.maximum

Pwrhaps records could define an ordering of their fields, so as to enable destructuring by position?
I would rephrase that as "society has an interest in how the children grow up" so that the reader is clear that it's not a third party, but themselves that is benefited by having fellow citizens that grow up in stable families.
First glance at examples -- looks like Svelte
Sorry I'm not understanding how this relates to conflict of interest.
> Perhaps a rule that anyone in a decisionmaking position who earned over $1m total comp last year is partially liable for fines against the company?

In UK banking now there are regulations that manager above a certain level are legally liable for decisions made below them. This means in the worst case, a director level manager can go to prison for a decision they or one of their subordinates makes. If it's a subordinate, I believe it is their responsibility to prove that the information was hidden from them, i.e. they are required to know what's going on below them as far as they reasonably can.
I've heard about the "numbing" effect of those peppers, but never tracked down the real thing here in the US. Are you aware of any literature on it?
Except that visiting a website is a known, expected information leak to the website owner, and for 70% of web users also automatically to Google.

On the other hand leaking the list of apps on your local computer, and to a third-party to top it off, is unexpected and thus more harmful.
Not exactly, I'm saying that if you stay behind and don't adopt something, where that something is whatever the industry switches to after C, you will eventually be left behind. Of course it is also possible (and likely for many people) to die or retire before that happens. It's not like C is going away any time soon.

I think making the mistake of "unscoped find" that "atom_enger" was referring to is just as easy a mistake to make when writing a REST backend (to support a SPA front-end framework) as when using a traditional non-SPA web framework.

It's tempting, when writing a REST backend, to respond to e.g. "PUT /message/:id" by just executing "UPDATE ... WHERE message_id=?" from the parameter, without checking that that message belonged to the user whose credentials have been used to access the call.

That's possible with a non-SPA web framework, and it's also possible when writing REST backends.

Twitter and other social media companies already heavily censor users that fall outside of the overton window (left or right). And now they have another justificiation to keep doing this, with all the buzz around deepfakes.

It has become pretty standard in Hollywood where at the beginning of a production, the actors have headshots taken from various angles specifically for use in post. Enough actors have died during production to make this necessary to complete the project. I wouldn't be surprised if it has become a mandatory practice insurance companies require (this is pure speculation on my part) to minimize payouts.
I've read a lot of comments recently about how Google Analytics is bad, but no one explain why. Can I ask why this is not something people want? Is it not anonymised?
I think the type of explainability Yann LeCun is describing in this post is not the same as what people really want when they talk about explainable AI. To use his example, I think most people would be fine with an AI that said "we're doing X because that's what heuristic Y prescribes for the situation", and getting from where we are now to something like that is the challenge. FWIW i see a similar dialogue in biomedical contexts quite a bit, where there's some cool but hard-to-trust work being done in data-driven image restoration (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/236463v5.abstract). There's still a lot that could be done short of programs providing a priori mathematical proof for all models.

I'm a dad (of three) and I am not convinced that time spent at the very start of their lives is as significant as that later in their lives (note the "as", I am not saying it has no value!) when you can really nurture their passions, knowledge, etc.

I did spend a lot of time with my children in their earliest days because it was the right thing to do, but I don't feel either they or I particularly gained from it (than if I'd spent a bit less, say). Do I feel the time I spend with them now they're older pays serious dividend for their futures? Absolutely.

I own a company and can spend an above average amount of time with my children.. but are companies or the government going to support the majority of parents spending prolonged periods of times with older children? Sadly I can't see it happening, but I think that's a more important task than having two parents on tap for a newborn. All purely IMHO, of course.
Yes, what a nightmare that was!

The triumph of Facebook over MySpace has been attributed, repeatedly, to the customizability of MySpace, and how relatively unpleasant the result of that was. I would say the same is true of customizing Windows.

Me, I love being able to switch from Solarized to Solarized Dark to keep track of which window is which app, and I think Apple could provide slightly more customization than they do, but if the choice is between Windows 3 and no-dark-mode-just-a-tiny-accent-color, I'll take the latter every time.
Hi, it seems that the software engineer position is not being actively recruited for?
Yes, I mean paid parental leave, not just parental leave. FMLA doesn't even apply to employers with less than 50 people. There's a handful of states that offer paid parental leave, and even those have many caveats. It's 2020, I bet it will be at least another 4 to 6 years before we have a federal law, and even that will be a couple decades behind other progressive countries.
They are flogging religions not for sexual misconduct or tolerance to sexual misconduct but for not reporting suspicions of sexual crimes to the police where they can be properly investigated.

That's plenty to differentiate atheists for religions. "We report our members to police if they are suspected of sexual misconduct and cooperate fully and religions do not. Because they pretend they all are saint and we don't."
