StellarGraph v0.10 Open-Source Python Machine Learning Library for Graphs
StellarGraph is an open-source library featuring state-of-the-art graph machine learning algorithms. The project is delivered as part of CSIRO’s Data61.

Dramatically improved memory usage is the key feature of the 0.10 release of the library, with the StellarGraph and StellarDiGraph classes now backed by NumPy and Pandas. This will enable significant performance benefits.

Version 0.10 (https://github.com/stellargraph/stellargraph/releases/tag/v0.10.0) also features two new algorithms:

- Link prediction with directed GraphSAGE

- GraphWave, which computes structural node embeddings by using wavelet transforms on the graph Laplacian.

Other new algorithms and features remain under active development, but are available in this release as experimental previews. These include:

- Temporal Random Walks: random walks that respect the time that each edge occurred (stored as edge weights)

- Watch Your Step: computes node embeddings by simulating the effect of random walks, rather than doing them

- ComplEx: computes embeddings for nodes and edge types in knowledge graphs, and uses these to perform link prediction

- Neo4j connector: the GraphSAGE algorithm can execute neighbourhood sampling from a Neo4j database, so the edges of a graph do not have to fit into memory.

The new release also incorporates key bug fixes and improvements:

- StellarGraph now supports TensorFlow 2.1

- Demos now focus on Jupyter notebooks

- Supervised GraphSAGE Node Attribute Inference algorithm is now reproducible

- Code for saliency maps/interpretability refactored to have more sharing, making it cleaner and easier to extend

- Demo notebooks predominantly tested on CI using Papermill, so won't become out of date.

We welcome your feedback and contributions.

Until next time, the StellarGraph team.
My understanding is that people who want this sort of thing use a client server set up with a server that does all of the AST parsing and linting separate from the editor.

I feel like there’s a weird power thing some people get sucked into that ends in forcing everyone around them to use their preferred (often IntelliJ or vscode) editor often via the argument that the linter configuration only works in it.

Some ten years ago there was an online spreadsheet startup called Hypernumbers which, I believe, at one point pivoted to letting people build websites using their spreadsheet. Intriguingly close to this, but without the mashup angle, which is important.
Can anyone explain why from the XVII century standpoint, heliocentrism required stars to be huge, much bigger than Sun? Which observation or measurement hinted at that?

Yes there was lack of observable star parallax. But XVII measurement precision was so, so much worse than the one required to detect parallax (15" was best precision achieved at the time vs <1" required to tentatively detect parallax and ~0.3" required to be sure about it), that stars could "be" 50x closer than they really are, and 50x smaller, and the world would still "fit" the observations if one assumes that parallax is just tad small enough to escape detection. Which means, nearly every star being much smaller than Sun. Such a small star is impossible, but since source of the stellar energy wasn't known anyway, that couldn't be determined.
Totally agree. It’s also about respecting the food you have and not being wasteful as a principle. Plus it can bring new recipes to light.

Sorting Large(~1TB) Data Using 1 GB RAM – Microsoft, Amazon Interview
I still use Apple and love it, but the hardware and software hasn’t yet moved away very far from what it started out as after the switch to OS X.

You do realize Mac OS X 10.0 was released in March 2001. Here are the specs of the early 2001 iMac: It featured a 500 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, a 20 GB hard drive and a 56 kbps modem,was available in Indigo, Blue Dalmatian or Flower Power, and was priced at $1199 U.S.

So yeah, we've come a long way.

I can see development limited to a few approved vendors with deep pockets for expensive licensing, but the bulk of it coming from Apple.

I doubt this will happen; there's no point. The recent release of Swift Playgrounds [1] for the Mac has the potential to create a new generation of Mac developers.

Apple wouldn't have created Catalyst to increase the number of apps for the Mac by giving a path to iOS developers to bring their apps to macOS.

Darwin isn't going anywhere; you'll still be able to run all of the Unix stuff, with the vast majority just needing to be compiled for ARM.

Not to be pedantic, but sandboxed apps on macOS goes back to the 10.5 days. I just checked on my Catalina machine; most GUI apps are sandboxed, but none of the Unix apps are. By definition, sandboxing has to work differently on the Mac than it does on iOS.

There's no doubt that Apple has to do better; the 10.15 Catalina release was way more buggy than we're used to seeing. Apple seems to have a lot of balls in the air, with macOS 10.16 coming in a few months at WWDC, plus new iOS, watchOS, tvOS and who knows what else.

If the transition to ARM is going to happen about a year from now, that means there are alpha versions of macOS running on prototype ARM Macs right now.

Hopefully, the Catalina release was a wakeup call for them to get their act together; guess we’ll know soon enough.

Google sent me to: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-case-against-...

"The most devastating argument against the Copernican universe was the star size problem. When we look at a star in the sky, it appears to have a small, fixed width. Knowing this width and the distance to the star, simple geometry reveals how big the star is (right). In geocentric models of the universe, the stars lie just beyond the planets, implying that star sizes are comparable to that of the sun (below). But Copernicus's heliocentric theory demands that the stars be extremely far away. This in turn implies that they should be absurdly large—hundreds of times bigger than the sun (bottom). Copernicans could not explain away the anomalous data without appeals to divine intervention. In reality, the stars are far away, but their apparent width is an illusion, an artifact of the way light behaves as it enters a pupil or telescope—behavior that scientists would not understand for another 200 years."
What’s fascinating about Bernie is how familiar he is.

A 1960s radical who went to a top level university (UofC), has never belonged to a union, has worked in government or non profit sector all his life, etc.

Never worked for consulting or finance or academia.

There sorts of folks used to be much more common in politics. Now they’re mostly retired.

It’s not bad per se. But not really new. In fact, very very old.

I guess Bernie is the last roar of the 1960s generation.

Very telling that his generation is rejecting him in the polls. 1960s radicals were always divisive an unpopular in mainstream America.

The left hasn’t done a very good job figuring out what it’s next step should be, so taking a step back might be a good idea.
This is essentially the early Filemaker Pro all-in-one desktop app (pre-Apple), maybe even Microsoft Access, but in the browser. I always liked the flexibility of Filemaker, being able to add a new field and pull data into it. I could never find anything comparable. Good to see a revival of the concept.
macOS is bad in terms of discoverability, but iOS or whatever they call it nowadays is ridiculous.

I have a brand-new iPhone I bought for testing websites, and I use a beat-up Motorola just because iOS is so frustrating to use.

Apple needs some design lessons, Microsoft has been doing such a great job with Surface devices that if they could make Windows just a tiny bit better people I bet a huge percentage will switch.
So you won't use a Mac because you need it to run a Windows app?

> You’re happy that hens are cheaper, because now you can build your egg business even faster

And so can your competitors. Except each dollar they spend buys them twice the number of chickens. Which means they’ll require twice the amount of certain equipment, which is likely to drive those prices up in the short term. They can also sell their eggs at a lower cost than you. Perhaps lower than you can afford.

Capital costs for an operating business matter. Ironically, they matter less for non-professional investors.

For an investor, both obsessing over and ignoring market signals is a bad strategy. The market may be pricing in new information. Or it might be safe to ignore.
I've been following this lab's work for a while and actually suggested to them that the implementation for this be based on an RDF style data model. Ontology languages are the level of abstraction up from a spreadsheet and are an atomic unit in semantic web technologies. It looks like the way this fits in to the existing architecture is that the site adapters would extract data as RDF triples.

Professor Daniel Jackson runs this lab. His book, Design by Concept, is a phenomenal read. It made me understand why software can be so unintuitive for people who haven't grown accustomed to its idiosyncrasies that I've come to internalize.

What a good writeup. It's fascinating to me how much of modern software can only be understood in historical context. Some years back I had to explain CR/LF issues to a young programmer who had never seen a carriage returning or a line being fed. I imagine that's the majority of programmers now.
Tot • Your tiny text companion for macOS and iOS
I've been using macOS for about 10 years after 20 on the nameless platform.

1. Get KeyCue or something like it that tells you (almost) every keyboard shortcut within any application by using the accessibility API.

2. Turn on that accessibility mode option where it makes it possible to cursor through multiple-choice modal dialogs.

3. What I find maddening is AppleScript. It's incredibly powerful except for three deficiencies a) an inability to introspect applications to find their nouns and verbs b) the lack of complete AppleScript documentation c) they fired the AppleScript guy. You could do a lot in it if you only knew the syntax and how to call things. AppleScript needs a minor UI overall to show what possible keywords, operators, nouns or verbs could be used during contextual code-completion.

4. macOS (and iOS/iPadOS) support most *NIX Ctrl- shortcuts within text fields. Ctrl-k to kill to EOL, Ctrl-a go to beginning, Ctrl-e go to EOL, etc.

5. Assign keyboard shortcuts to speed-up common actions (both system-wide and within particular apps) that don't have hotkeys by default, like Command-Shift-, to open Settings.

6. Get BlueToggle & AirToggle to bounce BT and WiFi.

Bonus for iPad/iOS: use the triple-click accessibility feature set to only the Magnifier (with no zooming) with the darkening filter to get a darker display at night.
Ah so the Airy disk was confused for the star size? Then true; but that is sick, one had to just observe same star with the same telescope, once with full aperture and once with the aperture diaphragmed to half diameter, to observe that the star has become 2x larger (and 4x dimmer).

Also let's see, so a typical telescope aperture of the era have been 25-30mm (bigger will make focal ratio too big and chromatism totally unacceptable), which means Airy disk 5" big, or 1/40000 of the distance. Assuming stars being 1/15 parsec away to make their parallax just barely unobservable, it means yeah, stars 25x the size of Sun, which is whole lot and isn't a reasonable assumption.

But measuring Airy disk size is easy by using a hair put in the focal plane to see how quickly it crosses (will be 1/2 vs 1/4 of a second)... Easy experiment to check that Airy disk isn't a "star".

Does anyone have links to the “well-documented” evidence mentioned above?
Yes, I find it plausible. But you specifically said that this monitoring is often leading to baseless firing. Do you have proof there's a link, are there multiple cases where this was proven? If not, you don't have grounds for claiming that it's often happening in the context of data snooping. That would be just useless speculation of what could happen.

India and Its Colonial History
Taking back control of website seized by the US Government
I have my own answer for #4 (which, to me, is the only interesting question about this affair). I've actually done a fair amount of literate programming on my own, although I only have a couple of examples that one can look at these days. Here is a small library for fluent matcher system for Jasmine and React: https://github.com/ygt-mikekchar/react-maybe-matchers/blob/m...

You will see that I've included yet another monad tutorial :-) I don't link to this as a way of saying that I think this is a good example of LP. It's not really. I was experimenting quite a lot. However, I can tell you one thing about it: it is practically impossible to refactor.

As a result, I decided that LP is not particularly good for working on living programs. Or, at least, it is not conducive to my style of programming, which encourages refactoring. Nothing I write is "frozen". It is all in flux and so the value of documentation is transient. Additionally, it is rare that a programmer wishes to read code from the top to the bottom. If they ever do, it's usually the first time they have read the code. After that, they will want fast access to the parts that they want to modify. Sorting out the code from the text becomes difficult. If you make a change, you also have to review all of the text to make sure that you haven't clobber something that is referenced elsewhere. It will work well for something short, but it's not great for large projects.

I still do LP style things. Here is an unfinished blog post on ideas about OO: https://github.com/ygt-mikekchar/oojs/blob/master/oojs.org However, to contrast with this, I would invite you to look at https://gitlab.com/mikekchar/testy where I put some of those ideas into action (especially see the design.md and coding_standard.md documents to show what constraints I chose in this experiment). Crucially, after this code had run its course, I'd changed a lot of my ideas and never went back to my blog post. For me, the actual code is far more instructive than the blog post ever was. Of course, I'm the author, so I understand what I was trying to say and I only need a quick peek at the code to remind me what I was thinking.

For me, that's the dilemma of LP: once you know what you want to know, the text is in the way. New people will benefit from the Gentle Introduction (sorry, couldn't resist the TeX reference...), but 99% of the time nobody will benefit from it. Is the other 1% of the time worth it. It may be, actually, but boy is it hard to convince yourself of that!
The reasonning of Tycho Brahe, taken from "The Great Ptolemaic Smackdown" (which could probably provide a much better answer to your questions) :

- Procyon has the same diameter and brightness as Saturn.

- If Procyon is much farther than (say) 100 times Saturn’s distance, simple geometry proves its actual size would dwarf the sun.

- All the stars would dwarf the Sun, which would then be the only pea in a universe of melons, which is absurd.

- But if Procyon were any closer, there would be visible parallax from the Earth's revolution.

- There is no visible parallax.

- Lack of parallax plus the apparent size of the stars therefore requires a stationary Earth. QED.

The problem with heliocentrism is that it requires a lot of additional hypothesis that are not needed by other (better performing !) models.
Not to mention that the in-app menu prices are frequently inflated compared to dining in. To be fair, I believe this is set by the restaurant in order offset the huge cut that delivery apps take.
Lots a things are invented multiple times. It's more common that one might presume. I'm generally wary of claim that someone was first to invent fairly obvious things.
What Are the Risks in Surrogacy?
That doesn't change anything. The RPi is all about the price point. Yes, you can get other configurations, but the whole point of the Foundation is that $35 (or cheaper) machine - an affordable computer, built to a specific price point, with the aim of putting a "tinkering" computer into the hands of as many kids (and interested adults) as possible. It's nice that people are buying the things for various more mundane purposes, as that sort of subsidizes the main purpose... but the main purpose is still to provide an educational machine at an affordable price, and the $35 price point is a big part of that.
This seems to assume that all the relevant data is present in memory on the client, but this is often not true (e.g. due to paging issues).

What happens if you try to sort listings by price and the actual item with the lowest price hasn't even been fetched by the browser yet?
Using “watch” [1] to run your program is a bad idea. The watch command executes a program at regular intervals, by default it runs once every second.

What you should use instead is “inotifywait” [2] to execute your program(s) whenever there is a change. This way the program will run, for example, every time you save your changes. There are many utilities that make use of inotify (the library that powers inotifywait) some of them are fsnotify [3], fswatch [4] and watchexec [5].

The solution is good public transport. If every car owner dumped as much money into public transport as they do for only the registration of their cars, we could have a (methane or better) bus every 5 minutes on every street. This would still be better for the environment, cheaper and safer than cars.
