You are not the only one. I generally despise it, as it often delays getting to points that could have been made as effectively but more succinctly. I think narrartive storytelling has its place, but it's way overused, and I see it in many articles that simply don't warrant it, like ones about current events. If the first paragraph starts out with some kind of "it was a dark and stormy night" narrative, my eyes just glaze over. I want to be informed, not read a novel. I only have so many hours out of my day to learn something, and I hate to have that time wasted by fluff.

Followed by a pretty long list.

How does he do ? There are 23 items on the list. None of which include daily tasks such as : dishes, sport, talking to family, to friends, eating, cooking, washing clothes, having a social life. All of these tasks take a lot of time, esp. if I consider the time to switch between them (which can be quite long since, hey, it's a non work day, so I'm slower...).

We're not equals.
Yeah, someone did it well one time and everyone thought it was the structure alone that was good and not the person doing the writing.

That's a good idea, I'll give it a try with fewer words. I did notice that I'd just come back to a word I'd seen 30 seconds ago and not recognize it, maybe I need to reduce the number of switches in between so it has more opportunity to stick.

> The noun cases would be completely foreign to non-Slavic language speaker.

Picking those up was actually fairly straightforward. Cases may be completely foreign but the grammatical concepts behind them aren't. For example Russian has nominative, accusative and dative but English has subjects, direct objects and indirect objects and I learned all those in school.

I think somewhat ironically, the biggest grammatical problem I had with Russian was the tenses. English has 12 and Russian has ~5 so it was hard to figure out how to express a given English sentence in Russian.

But I think the biggest problem is phoenetics. On the surface it looks simple (unstressed o -> a) but there are so many extra rules if you want to speak properly (e.g. voiced consonant before a voiceless consonant becomes voiceless).
I think it's always best to avoid comparing neural nets with biological neurones and their networks. The comparison just doesn't hold since they are completely different in almost every way.

Also I think that it actually proves that humans use their general intelligence to drive, since Humans can learn on the go and add almost any type of new knowledge and act upon it without even realizing it. The brain is not looking for anything in particular, just any type of information that would be relevant to driving.
An A/B test might be interesting, but we have scores from any conference that takes feedback seriously. Commercial conferences will sometimes be ranking speakers on individual tracks and you'll get a pep talk about expectations before and a review after.

I was thrown into one of those conferences with a colleague once and it was pretty intense. I sat in on sessions and had access to the scores and feedback later and people would have very specific things they didn't like about the speaking. Having listened you can sort of agree with the attendee, but access to formal training, or a good mentor can be tough. Former employer offered an hour with a speaking coach at one point and that made a big impact on my issues, but people don't give similar feedback in the local dev speaking circuits.
Given where this is going, couldn't we just skip a couple iterations of the hype cycle, and simply port BEAM runtime to work directly on machine clusters instead of machine code? This way we'll jump straight to one actor = one microservice = one VM.
These are not DMCA claims.

It would be entirely reasonable for Youtube to block them from submitting the current style of claims and require them to submit actual, proper DMCA claims which open the claimant to all kinds of counterclaims, require the claimant to assert under the penalty of perjury that they own that content, etc.
Every problem should in theory have some of breaking it down

I don't see why we should expect that to be the case. For example, I once had to implement an algorithm to visualise a certain set of data using a certain type of diagram, where there were a lot of technical factors that determined exactly how that diagram should be drawn. IIRC, it took a few weeks to implement that algorithm, but there weren't any natural breaks where you could, say, draw only half of the data set or half of the diagram features and get a meaningful result. It was inherently a relatively complicated, all-or-nothing feature.

Github's interface is a big part of the issue (only for those using Github, of course).

Say you branch off of master, make some changes, and make a PR. Call this branch A.

Then you want to make a new branch, that depends on branch A. Call this branch B. The PR for branch A is still waiting to merge when you finish with branch B.

If you make a PR to merge branch B to master, you get a diff showing both PRs worth of changes. That's annoying to review.

If you make a PR to merge branch B to branch A, you get the correct diff for B. Huzzah! But if branch A's PR then merges, Github deletes the branch B PR and any comments/review. You have to remember to retarget branch B PR to master, then merge branch A.
> why do people write articles about how much women's unpaid labor is worth, but not about men's?

I think the article makes its case via the quote I provided. It does talk about men’s unpaid work, albeit not in as much detail. The article was also published to coincide with International Women’s Day. Aside from anything else there are clear and obvious differences in unpaid work between men and women (as everyone in this thread agrees) so why not write about women specifically?

It honestly feels like parody to see an article like this and reply “won’t somebody think about the men?”
Non-trivial here means something specific (see the other reply), people say "non-trivial" in this context as an abbreviation of what it means, it's not a vague term that readers are asked to give an interpretation to.

The author seems to have a very narrow view on how adults can / should communicate, almost a child's view of an adult "Grown ups should be boring and convoluted"

The British Legion example they give is odd, they have an interactive story that explains what the British Legion is about on their website. Seems fair enough to me, but the author has a problem with it? I don't get it.

People like consuming information in story form, should stories be reserved for kids?

The web is an interactive medium should we not make things interactive unless they are for kids?

I don't get it.

I see a lot of people with this narrow view point, people who get upset at south park because it's a cartoon or GTA because it's a video game.

The bigger issue I see is the low quality police work.

Back "in the day" it wasn't uncommon for US police to frame random black guys for crimes in order to consider the crime solved. Sticking a homeless guy in prison over something that's a natural right in other parts of the world and in the presence of substantial doubt that it was even his (plausible other reasons for his DNA to be on the gun and no motive to have it in the first place) seems to be about the same level of quality.

Using Anki is less important than keeping relevant and digested notes. I use Anki daily but I don't really need to memorize everything. It's enough to be able to fast retrieve previous collected info. In the end I just don't want to repeat myself. For that I simply use one searchable text file (and a github public repository - to maintain some quality - for digested notes/cheatsheets).
Having done a lot of geo-spatial web projects, I would, hand down, use OpenLayers as my go to over D3. Not that there is anything wrong with D3 and it is a great library but man it's a pain to maintain and extend a D3 mapping solution.

I just ported a D3 solution to OpenLayers for a client and they where over the moon with the speed at which they could implement new features. Mobile touch was the killer for them and made them finally bite the bullet and port, getting a D3 mapping solution to behave correctly on both the desktop and mobile requires a lot of wiring.

An insinuation.

>I would never believe that everyone is satisfied

I've worked in this industry long enough to know no one is ever satisfied. That is background noise. I consider something to be a good implementation if I don't get consistent questions or issues about it. There will always be users that have issues with even the most basic and intuitive UI.

> Language learning is an obvious use case

Memorizing word pairs can certainly be done with spaced repetition, but it’s unclear how much that translates to actual language ability. Second-language acquisition appears to be primarily dependent on reading (or listening to) the target language for content, and most words are learned via seeing them in context instead of being looked up in a dictionary.

I have no experience with law or medicine, but I expect the story is similar: practical knowledge is what you need to hand, and not book knowledge. Book knowledge is what gets you through the exams and into the practical part of your training.

Yeah, but out of all the self-driving test miles Uber is doing, how many are in the self-driving cabs vs non-public road testing?

I would expect them to be very careful with a passenger in the car scrutinizing but much less so in a test car. If a high enough percentage of the millions of miles these companies are doing are tests without passengers, there could be a lot of road miles happening with a single overburdened driver that the public isn't seeing much of.
I don't know about the Starship a week but he definitely fulfils his hyperbolic bullshit per day quota.

OK let's pretend Elon builds one Starship a week, at which cost and for what? the promise of "immense riches in the New World?". Why are these people slaving away to entertain a rich boy's wet dream?

This idea is explored further in Nick Bostrom's Vulnerable World Hypothesis under "Preventive policing". It's depressing but does walk through this scenario in more detail than most.

My guess is that an engineer who can build space stations has every employment option in his field that he could wish for. Wave with SpaceX's employer's reference letter and get the job, basically.
My issue, and I only have one, with these pilot projects for basic income is that its not realistic. The people in the project know that it will end at a fixed time, so their actions are different compared to what would happen in a BI/UBI system.
I use the Android app Materialistic, which I really enjoy.

In particular I like the fact that I can bookmark posts and comments with it.

I very often jump to the discussion to read opinions - there's often a treasure trove of stuff there of someone who knows something more than what the article states.

A really annoying, missing feature for the discussion/comments parts, is that the threads are extremely difficult to tell apart and traverse. On a small screen, the threads are very close together and only distinguishable through color differences. Scrolling through them is a nightmare, whereas I've really come to love the Reddit app's feature with a button that allows you to scroll to the next sibling comment, e.g. if you want TO quickly see the next comment to the OP, instead of scrolling endlessly and not knowing how far along you are.
I suspect we have a few groups. Those who drank the kool-aid and liked it. Those who used to believe in it but after abuse are now stuck in an endless cycle where they have no time for job searches. And those that never drank the kool-aid and will leave after getting time on their resume.

It takes a great mix of super smarts and super stupid to work there.
The reality is that we're at the mercy of clients and bosses, and I don't see that changing. Every once in awhile someone will come along that realizes they have hired professionals, and trust the professionals to their job. But that's about 1 in 10, in my experience.
I've have never understood this attitude that shuts down all 'complaining', especially about things that are free.

Why not take the opportunity to have a discussion about the purposes of journalism, instead of complaining about the commenters complaining? I think the comment invites valuable discussion about this.

36 isn't that bad but Russian also has 253 irregular verbs [0], each of which adds another set of combinations. A lot of them are just small tweaks and there are some that follow a set of patterns (e.g. идти with its various prefixes) but it still adds a lot of overhead.

This seems ... not very accurate?

My understanding of the history:

Intel hired William Kahan (a professor at Stanford, already quite eminent, and familiar with FP on existing mainframes) to help get the FP design right, precisely because they hoped to make it a standard.

Then other microprocessor companies got an IEEE standardization effort going. Kahan went along to the first meeting, went back to Intel and persuaded them to take part too, and brought a proposal based on the (still in progress) 8087 design to the meeting. There were rival proposals from other companies.

The Intel proposal won largely because Intel had thought through the details better than the others.

(For instance: The biggest fight was over something called gradual underflow. Intel wanted it, DEC didn't. DEC hired a numerics expert to look into gradual underflow, with the expectation that he would report that it wasn't useful. He looked into it and reported that in fact it was a good idea and ought to be done.)

So: (1) it wasn't just "some freshers", it included at least one really big name in the field; (2) the standard and the 8087 were being developed at the same time (and indeed the 8087 didn't quite do what the standard said; later 80x87 generations did); (3) the standard was an inter-company effort and if it ended up being more or less what Intel proposed that was because Intel's proposal was actually better.

I have to admit that my summary above is based to some extent on things written by William Kahan, who of course was the guy Intel hired as a consultant to make their floating-point design better. So there may be some bias. If anything above is wrong, I'd be glad of corrections.

The F@H paper I was a coauthor on (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24345941) has been cited by many in pharma. I honestly can't say whether it has directly contributed, but many people have been thankful for this work because it helped establish the concept that proteins aren't super stable rocks, so virtual drug discovery screening can work better if you can simulate the dynamics of a protein (in this case, we simulated a GPCR, which is a common pharma target).

With alloys, the formula given is akin to the 'empirical formula' for molecules, i.e. the simplest integer ratio. For the mass fraction, the relative masses of atoms of iron:neodymium:boron are approx 56:144:11, so Nd2 Fe14 B should be 27% Nd, 72% Fe and 1% B by mass, I think.
