In short: it is inconvenient to use mutable state and unidiomatic to not use the STM.

The long version is that you could use 'set!' with Vars. But this is very much an avoided practice. Another caveat is that Clojure is hosted (primarily JVM and JS), so any code you call via interop has the characteristics of the host target.

But idiomatic Clojure uses at least Atoms or Refs and even those are discouraged for anything else than storing state, all the algorithmic (transformation, branching and so on) code follows the FP paradigm.

A Rust analogy is the 'unsafe' escape hatch. You can use it but it would be unidiomatic, inconvenient and in most cases unnecessary.
This post makes a significant amount of unsubstantiated claims. While I'll concede that some things are common knowledge, things like drinking a cup of coffee before sleep (with Daniel Pink cited as a source, who is a motivational writer not a scientist) and not making important decisions in the afternoon really need credible sources to be even remotely believable.

Any time I see "studies cite" I immediately associate the article with those tabloid pieces about milk being the worst thing you could possibly ingest, only to say the exact opposite in a week or two.

Many people overlook one moral problem we have in the post-Soviet Union countries. Business, money making of any kind in general and just about any life efforts apart from "struggling for the victory of Communism", were portrayed by Commies as inherently evil. Young generation is not affected by it directly, but they life in a culture that was, and so the deal is, when you are into money making, you are free from any moral barriers - it's same thing as crime (and quite literally, doing most business you have to commit actual crime because the markets - prevalent prices - will not let you work lawfully, as everyone is breaking laws). I seen very serious people wearing suits, with absolutely no kind of criminal record or intentions, saying in a friendly conversations things like "it's a business, moral things aren't applicable here".

As a side note, working with people from high-trust societies is always a fun experience - they struggle to understand how you can productively cooperate and be on best terms with people for many years not trusting them a tad bit. The idea that in Russia people live that way all their lives, sometimes even with their spouses and parents, is just perplexing to them :)

Why Graph Will Win
Its not possible to get any vitamin D from the sun in the winter in these high latitudes even if you outside in the sun all day with short sleeves. The angle of the sun is too low. We are just beginning march now, so the sun should soon be beginning to be high enough to give some benefit.

How big companies are dealing with such a case? At my company, we have a mandatory audit step in the CI. Of course, one can still bypass it by dropping the step in order to deploy but I'm curious to know how others deal with that.
While I never read Tolkien's notes and letters, I did read the Silmarillion and it does not consider Gandalf/Olorin/Mithrandir to be an elf. He is a maia which is not the same thing.

We do know that whatever Maiar are, they can have children with elves, from Melian and Thingol. Deducing that maia = elf from that is quite a leap in logic.

EDIT: Author was referring to Gandalf being mistaken for an elf, as per this excerpt of the unfinished tales:

"Mostly he journeyed tirelessly on foot, leaning on a staff, and so he was called among Men of the North Gandalf 'the Elf of the Wand'. For they deemed him (though in error) to be of Elven-kind, since he would at times work wonders among them."
Agree with everything except induction.
This was actually the reason why Graydon Hoare created Rust BTW. He wasn't looking for a way to get rid of garbage collection or an alternative to C++ (those two characteristics came later from Mozilla, the first versions of Rust had a GC and a heavy runtime with green threads and all), but he wanted a language that helped using all cores on the machine without the traditional issues of shared-memory multithreading.
South European winter is pretty okay, IMHO. Especially South Turkey and Cyprus, if we are not strictly speaking about Europe the continent.
But you could say the same for building roads, if you’re comparing to cars.

Unless you’re implying they reduced the number of buses/trains to compensate, this is surely a very positive thing for the citizen.
This will be based on models using what we currently know about the time it takes patients to show symptoms, the number of people currently detected showing symptoms, and the expected rate of detection of symptomatic patients.

I'm sure Google has the edge in terms of technical know-how but launching a successful game streaming service is about so much more than getting pixels on a screen fast.

The biggest priority with small computers like this is thermal throttling. This doesn't talk about that at all, but whether you are buying a tiny case that barely fits a mITX motherboard or one of these, handling thermal throttling is the difference between a computer that feels smooth and one that feels more like a raspberry pi with UIs, video and web pages.

I've gone down the rabbit hole with both a NUC and an AMD APU and thermals are everything. There are lots of BIOS options to control dynamic overclocking and throttling on both to make them not generate so much heat, but allow them to run much hotter before they throttle. Then there are windows power settings as well. Anyone who expects to plug them in and get the best performance is unfortunately going to slam into reality.
Ask HN: What is the simplest but still useful NN example you know?
I find neural networks pretty interesting, but most useful examples I know of require too much training data to be useful when it comes to trying to understand the whole process. I used a DOS program over 20 years ago in school to train an NN to do a simple table lookup. That isn't very exciting of course, since it is pretty obvious that a simple array would do much better.

I am wondering, are there any small, self-contained NN examples that actually do something useful, while still being small enough to play with an implementation in my favourite programming language?
Because it's not actually about "optimizing time," it's about a feeling. A lot of people find themselves in a pattern where they binge-watch a show they don't really even like to fill time. Likewise with social media, at some point you're not sure why you're even doing it. Likewise for people who cut back on video games.

It's the behavior, not the medium, that gives this uneasy feeling all of your time is going to a thing that you didn't mean to spend it on.

On the other hand, if you find yourself sucked into a book for a weekend, odds are it's because you can't put it down and will regret nothing. Nobody binge-reads bad books.
Agreed. Having more games built on linux and vulkan seems lik ea nice benefit.
Or anotherway to put it: Now everyone pays for transport through their taxes, even those who do not use it.
People have said this about every media since the book was invented.
I’ve gone down the certification rabbit hole twice in my career.

The first time was in 2008 when I was trying to pivot from an expert beginner C bit twiddler to “enterprise development”. I took the six courses for MS certifications. Even then I knew that certifications were meaningless. They were basically a guided study method so I would know what I didn’t know. I never put them on any resume. By the time I went looking for my next job, they had expired and I didn’t need them.

The second time started two years ago - a AWS certs - and they are for the same reason, a guided studied path but this time the company pays for them.

AWS certs are good to have because they are requirement for a company to maintain “partner” status, it gives clients a warm and fuzzy and it helps to get through the HR filter. But no actual hiring manager (including me) gives them much weight when accessing candidates.

I got a Stadia though some re-seller partner program at work. Honestly it plays really well for me. I often forget I'm playing a game in a browser. The problem is lack of games and the controller on PC still has to be plugged in.
>As a layperson it feels to me like research in the "megadose on vitamins to prevent illness" area is kind of tainted by the legacy of Linus Pauling

You're completely right, biochemists and medical chemists know fully well it's tainted by Pauling's late work and will tell you so. If even a small positive effect was missed because of that taint, that's a terrible legacy that led to many avoidable deaths (all the people that suffered or died until the positive effect is finally recognized). We should be better at salvaging such effects from their imperfect creators.
I don't necessarily disagree with your argument. Zoom is trading at PE ratio of like...1.4k, Logmein trades at a PE ration of 20. Is Zoom just a thousand times more likely to grow to dominate the sector? I mean, it wouldn't surprise me (I've hated every interaction I've ever had with Logmein-created software), but a PE ratio over 1000 is still kinda nuts.

That being said:

This has nothing to do with IPOs. Zoom IPOed at a much more reasonable price, and the public market (rightly or wrongly) has decided Zoom has a great future. This is all well past the IPO process, has nothing to do with investment banks or greenshoes or the first day bounce or any of that. So while yes, you can poke around public markets and find things that look mispriced, that's just a thing that happens (and has always happened) in public markets. (Also, history suggests it's a lot harder to correctly identify bubbles than you'd think...)

In other words, I don't think your wrong, but I'm not sure there's anything systemic here. Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, they want to invest it, they're not super good at finding investment opportunities, so they've managed to throw some of it away on dumb things like robotic pizza trucks, or buying Adam Neumann a lot of houses. That's bad (for the investors), and weird (for all of us watching from the sidelines), but I don't know that it means much.
You are misunderstanding my point - I'm saying that because the majority of cyclists are adults, who got into cycling after they turned 18, the majority of them have learned to drive (at least from my experience), not that the cyclists OP is talking about aren't adults.

I do not hold a driving license either, aged 29, but I am in the minority. I am also learning to drive this year, to stop burdening my friends and family members.
Genuinely, yes! If you have a child, you need to consider your child's needs and best interests ahead of your own hopes and dreams and desires.

And if that child's needs are better met by taking a decent job in a lower COL area than by working for poverty wages at UCSC, then you should take that job. Your child is more important than your selfish dreams!

Does it matter that they are easy to spot when the damage they can do would be well underway before a trusted service invalidates the image?

I am coming at this from the angle of, who would use this type of service other than the courts? Certainly major news organizations could benefit but we have numerous recent examples where they have either run with CNN imagery but they have also purposefully run video and use images of similar events to portray the view they wanted for a current event.

Of course in the end, if the end game is to have news, image, and video, validation there will need to be more than one and in separate enough areas of the world to have some chance all would not be intimidated / infiltrated to the point they are not trust worthy

What about DHA/EPA? Iodine and vitamin B1?

Our modern diets could cause further nutritional deficiencies. I doubt that many people in the West eat fish regularly or supplement with algae oil due to the conveniences of processed food. Same with iodine.
Wheat germs have the highest concentrations in vitamin B1, but whole grains in general (rolled oats etc.) are good so you should probably cut the processed food out as much as possible.
Still probably a good thing to do. This belief probably came from Japanese Water Therapy.

There are other browsers better than Ff that focus on privacy just the same, if not more aggressively.

Mozilla lost track when they started with their FfPhone, FfOS, and other bullshit projects. They forgot about their core product and it shows. Ff is still way slower, even with the Rust parts they took from Servo.

Then that they kick out their best developers if they have a "wrong opinion" (in the sjw's view) doesn't help either.

Yes I can :D

While my experience is obviously not definitive scientific proof it can still bring some value.

To give you a more simple example: when I broke my leg I went to the doctor's and put it in a cast. That helped me tremendously. Is that a well designed randomized controlled trial? No. Is it good advice to anybody with a broken leg? I would say so.
Yes, correct, scores of people in the areas the CDC report there being cases, and in which they say people are at increased risk. That's not 'widely in the united States'.

They also say that widespread transmission is eventually likely to occur. They are simply, and as far as I can tell very clearly and responsibly, drawing a distinction between what is happening now and what is likely to occur in the future.

Yeah, this is absurd. Surveillance testing isn’t even being done at anywhere near the levels to make this claim, nor are any of the only known effective mitigation strategies, like bans on mass gatherings, being put in place.

Compare this to what is being done in Singapore with effective quarantines and extensive contract traces, or Korea with on-demand, drive-thru testing, and the complacency is staggering.

The CDC isn’t even releasing treatment details for recovered patients so doctors and hospitals can prepare to respond:

> you are making assumptions about the fundamental structure of the mind based on our current narrow understanding of it

I'm trying to think of a way that would not have us go in circles ad infinitum. So I'll try one last time to convince you that this is a misrepresentation.

My assumptions are indeed, given the body of data we have gathered so far, that what lies ahead will fit into what we already know - as opposed to being something extraordinary that invalidates most of our current understanding.

Whenever there are unknowns in our scientific understanding (and I'm sure we'll have more than enough of those for aeons to come), it has so far not been fruitful to offer magical external influences as the explanation. It has so far always turned out that natural forces were at work, forces we can reason about rationally. From my perspective, there is nothing unusualy going on with minds in particular that would warrant a different approach.

Our current understanding may be narrow by your standards, but it doesn't follow that people just get to make up whatever lies outside and then insist on those doubting them being unscientific.

> "based on our current understanding of the mind, our metaphorical model X is the best model we have created, but it is merely the best answer up until now, not the ultimate solution."

That we can agree on. What we don't seem to agree on is the amount of credibility we should assign to claims that lie far outside of our physical expectations. Just because there are unknowns doesn't make it reasonable to assign extraordinary values to those unknowns.

> The onus is not on me, as I am not making broad unscientific claims

If you make a claim, especially one that falls widely outside of extrapolated scientific understanding, the burden of proof does indeed fall on you. By contrast I am making the claim that whatever gaps we have in our theory about minds will eventually turn out to be an extension of what we already know, as opposed to some revolutionary but as of yet unseen aspect of the universe. My claim is small, yours is quite large and also seems vague to me.

Research done by National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in 2008 found that the influenza virus has a "butter-like coating". The coating melts when it enters the respiratory tract. In the winter, the coating becomes a hardened shell; therefore, it can survive in the cold weather similar to a spore. In the summer, the coating melts before the virus reaches the respiratory tract.[8]
