True. Maybe we lose in the creative side of learning, but in the effectiveness and speed I would say we get better and better with years.
It's hard learning when you basically don't know a lot. But when you have a large knowledge base and you are building on it - you can learn really fast, basically just linking the information you already know and adding some bits.
People who advocate censorship because it currently favours their views will get a big slap in the face when priorities change.

Shocking to see how in the US entire groups of people are discriminated against at such a scale. Sure its not as bad as in India or China, but it is appalling. In a way I understand these violent protesters - for years peaceful voices have raised the plight of african americans and native americans, yet nothing changed. For us in Europe this and the many other things we see going on in the US make us question wether the US is a first world country or not. The HN commentariat will downvote this to oblivion. Because just like in any country there are those who dont mind it as long as it doesnt happen to them - it’s just the “bad guys”.
Why would they prioritize behavior during catastrophic failure over the strength-weight ratio?

The great news about frameworks is that they can have a catalytic effect on delivering a product that falls within their approach.

The other news about frameworks is that you had better be an expert if you need to deviate from their approach.

I prefer Flask's minimalist approach, for all it means spending time (as noted in TFA) wading through various libraries to "build your own framework", which isn't for noobs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_electron

My line of thought has been similar: If all mass/energy curves space time, then by extension all particles curve space time in proportion to their mass. You can't have only planets and stars curving the fabric of spacetime, it has to be the individual particles that make them up, because duh: if you split a planet in two, each half will keep half the mass and hence half the curvature.[1] You can repeat this all the way down to atoms, nucleons, and electrons. Probably photons, quarks, and neutrinos too.

But that's not how anything works in field theory, QED, etc... they just assume that there's a locally flat background with some "stuff on top" that doesn't distort the background at all. Like a function above the number line.

The key insight is that whatever makes particle curve spacetime must be some inherent, fundamental aspect of their nature. Not an extra "m" attribute that can be anything. That's why rest masses of all particles are consistent, their mass -- their curvature in spacetime -- is the very essence of their nature.

My current best hunch is that particles are like knots or tangles in the fabric of spacetime, inherently curving it. All information is encoded as curvature, and curvature is the only thing that truly exists. In this model, black holes are regions of maximum curvature, vaguely like a ball of yarn. If you want to add one extra "strand" going into the ball of yarn, its cross-section has to be added to the surface area of the black hole, which is why black hole area is proportional to its matter content, not its volume.

1] Not quite though! There is the gravitational binding energy. You have to put energy into a planet to split it up into separate particles, and conversely, planets release energy by the mere act of their forming. Jupiter releases more energy from its interior due to gravitational contraction that it receives from the Sun. In effect, particles are heavier separately than together.
I think I would agree although, but MOOCs can compete with the best lectures, they just can’t compete with the best interactive discussion. Can that be recreated or so we need intimate physical rooms with low class sizes to achieve it?

Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Machine Learning diagnosis based based on the rating of nine cellular characteristics.
Sphere packings are quite a deep and fascinating area of pure mathemaics. It has close relations to coding theory, lattice theory, number theory, modular forms.

John Conway [1] (who recently passed away due to COVID) wrote a famous book about it: Sphere Packings, Lattices and Groups -- which summarizes the subject concisely.

A recent (2017) break through, was the proof that the Leech Lattice [2] yields the optimal sphere packing in dimension 24 [3]. The error correcting code constructed from this lattice is the Binary Golay Error Correcting Code [4]. It is able to correct 3 bits for every 24 bits, and maximally efficient in doing so. It was used to communicate with the Voyager probes.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, because both things can be true.

There is a tendency to glamorize and retroactively justify every action connected with something you support, as both positive and intentional.

It is possible, for example, to support burning the police precinct, but be opposed to looting the grocery store.

Huh? The podcast says exactly the opposite. The octopus was not observed to die, but she was observed to deteriorate.

> We knew we were at the right place, we could see the -- the patch on the rock. And there were all of these tattered egg cases just in the spot where she had been.

> Tattered egg cases means that the babies had been born?

> Well, the first thing we did was search. Are there babies on the rock? Are the babies still here? Or did any of them survive? Or was it some sort of apocalyptic demise at the hands of all those hungry looking crabs?

> So they’re frantically sort of searching around the rock. Searching and searching and searching. And then they begin to see little babies that are her species. And they see a little baby here ...

> And a little baby there.

> Little octopuses crawling around.

> They’d been feeding and growing, and it was pretty clear that they were hatchlings from that clutch of eggs that we had observed.

> And did you see her?

> Nope. I’m certain that she had been consumed by some scavenger.

How did "the mother definitely died after the eggs hatched" turn into "this octopus differs from others by not standing guard until the mother dies of exhaustion"?

The only difference the podcast mentions is that this octopus has a gestational period about 50 times as long as other, better-known octopuses.
In R&D things blow all the time.
You just usually don't see it. In labs when they are looking for new drug or vaccine - thousands of variants fail. And it's ok. When you are developing anything new - you do thousands of try and fail. IF you don't - then you will even ever invent anything new. The best you can do is a little bit upgraded iteration.

And here a few fails and it is disappointing?
Nope. Its the only way to discover something new.
I don't think the main problem in this article is that "," doesn't look like a function because we are told that it is overloaded so we know it's a function.

The problem is that the behavior of the code silently changes when a function is moved and this is because of the overloading feature in C++.
You can get those types of problems in other cases too when you overload functions that have a good name,
but maybe it's less likely since I guess the comma operator is already defined for all different types but named functions have to be defined by the programmer.
Why is TCL out? Is it about a perceived bad track record or about inherent properties of the language?
It might be a bit extreme but the more I'm exposed to operator overloading the more I think that it's a bad idea 99% of the time.

The only use that seems absolutely in my opinion is when the overload is absolutely transparent mathematically, for instance to implement geometrical transformations on a Matrix class.

That works because in this case you don't actually end up with "custom" behavior, you just expand the standard and well understood notation of the language by plugging the standard and well understood mathematical notation for matrix operations. Anybody who understands this mathematical notation will be able to understand what the code does without additional context.

Anything beyond that is just asking for trouble IMO. It's basically code obfuscation.

Of course C++ has precedent for that sort of insanity, especially with the IMO absolutely bonkers use of the bit shift operators for... input/output processing. A notation that you'll note hasn't had a lot of success outside of C++.
> • Company saves money by not having to pay for managed cloud products if they don't want to

In some cases, the cost of a managed cloud product may be cheaper than the cost of training your engineers to work with K8s. It just depends on what your needs are, and the level of organizational commitment you have to making K8s part of your stack. Engineers like to mess around with new tech (I'm certainly guilty of this), but their time investment is often a hidden cost.

> The alternatives are all based on kludgy shell/Python scripts or proprietary cloud products.

The fact that PaaS products are proprietary is often listed as a detriment. But, how detrimental is it really? There are plenty of companies whose PaaS costs are insignificant compared to their ARR, and they can run the business for years without ever thinking about migrating to a new provider.

The managed approach offered by PaaS can be a sensible alternative to K8s, again it just depends on what your organizational needs are.
Perl 5 is in my humble opinion a really convenient to have installed. I use it all the time as a replacement for those shell scripts that become too big or too cumbersome, or to remove out of the equation the quirkiness of different implementations of standard tools (i.e. GNU sed has certain flags that BSD does not have, gawk is different from mawk, etc). A Perl onliner is often faster and works the same way pretty much everywhere.

Are people here seriously upset by technology used to identify rioters? I'm glad it exists and hope it helps to remove dangerous criminals from society.

I'm noticing a dangerous pattern emerging in the left where people are siding with rioting. You know nothing about what riots do to cities. It destroys them.

This is the moment where Trump wins the re-election because of a growing movement that is sympathetic to destroying the great city of Minneapolis over criminal conduct of a police officer.

We do, by making less things crimes. "Resisting arrest" should not be a crime, for example. Should a suspect attack police, we have assault laws to cover this; why do we need another law for "was not absolutely passive while being put in handcuffs"? (Genuinely curious here, happy to hear other perspectives).
Those stocks will run out eventually. Huawei is probably betting on the sanctions being resolved through negotiations and the Chinese government making concessions on trade.

However, I wouldn't count on this happening since the U.S. knows very well the power of being able to spy on adversaries and allies using network and telecom equipment. I don't believe Trump will back down on Huwawei no matter what the Chinese government offers.

the communist systems so far were mostly autocratic and yeah, most of them were not worse after a transition period than the previous autocrats and provided far more social mobility and care for poor people than a lot of other systems... I'm not sure how you mentioning an 88" TV helps for anything but blaring out you're a far-right bigot.

Btw: making the oil-companies pay at this point means no dividends from them immediately and them eventually folding very fast - how do you propose they pay for that transition then (especially with most of past dividends safely stored awy in trusts on Panama)? You could always tax fortunes I guess...

I'm not sure I follow your protest. I was talking mostly about the difference between "checking in" and not leaving at all, as most mother octopuses do.
I'm somewhat surprised this loophole is allowed to exist at all. More likely companies involved in this trade will be put on a blacklist as well.
Meh. Reeks of Not Invented Here and reinventing the wheel.

It almost reads like "we get why people use wheels. We're not saying wheels are bad."

I like your random bespoke shit less than frameworks that tend to solve the same problems but in a more standard way with slightly more robust design.

If you don't want to use it then fine. Totally depends on your needs. To create a movement shunning frameworks entirely just seems to be a totally fashion driven idea.
I've never got the hate for Maven - all the design decisions people dislike seem to be the same things that people praise Cargo et al for. If anything it suffers for being ahead of its time.

Use the Scalor plugin, https://github.com/random-maven/scalor-maven-plugin, and then Scala.js just works. I actually hooked it up to Netlify by treating Maven as a static site generator: http://m50d.github.io/2018/11/29/deploying-scalajs-with-netl...
The point is not what stores that gets looted. It's that stores are being looted at all. This only happens when people feel they are not being heard and when there is no other action than rioting and creating chaos. Looting happens because of the "protection" of the chaos, but you have to look further than just seeing people stealing stuff from stores.

The issue is so much larger and the system is actively forcing the people to create chaos, because there are no other way to get the leaders to listen to them.

People have been trying to fix this problem for decades now. Still the police is murdering US citizens. Of course people are gonna get mad as hell when that still happens.
I'm also curious as to what the "security" issues are that TCL would be rendered "out".
This reminds me of my wish to see a unified theory (and notation) that encompasses formal logic and probability. On their own, each is lacking. A unified system, for example, in which we have all the tools of first order logic and Bayesian probability would be very powerful.

Lol sure it will.
There are many who call GNU people license zealots, and who imagine that GNU somehow shuns BSD licences. But the opposite is true! GNU people happily use BSD licensed code, and include BSD licenced code in the GNU “free software” term, while it is the BSD people who, as can be seen here, reject software like Python and GCC for having “unacceptable” licenses.

Interesting. I suspect there is a natural limit anyway to how much data one person could curate, given the demands to keep it up to date. It would be interesting to see what a tools UI would encourage/discourage here.

One Minute Presubmits
A few follow ups to my comment above.

1. It’s only fair to compare the retirement amount vs the average marginal increase of salary obtained from having a college degree. Not sure this is a large number these days.

2. Most don’t pay full ride but for those that do it’s hefty. And also, those that can afford it, typically have a lot of money to begin with.

3. I raise this question because unlike the smoker comment, I can determine if I just want to put money away for my kids (in a trust) and give them that lump sum when they are older (not 60 but maybe much older) as opposed to pay for college. I likely won’t do this but for argument sake, if you have a motivated kid, I’d bet they’d find a way to learn what they need to learn.

4. As from the “Silicon Valley” show. “The real value of education is intangible!”. I do think I gained a good amount from college but I think a majority of that was social/independence growth rather than learning. Although, one or two of my computer science courses really got burned in my head and I believe added a ton of value to my way of thinking.

Anyway, original comment was a bit in jest but it’s still an important discussion because I think we should be paying for education and not “branding” which, let’s be honest, is a lot what school is used for - a market-accepted currency for purchasing a good career.
Only if you forget whether you're reading German or C++.
The spread of Covid-19 appears to be heavily dependent on individuals who are "super-spreaders" and on "super-spreading events". For example, the guy who was involved in horse-racing at Yonkers, the choir practice in Washington, the conference at Boston.

So a simple model where each case results in R new infections doesn't capture this at all. Instead, networks of infection appear to be like other social networks where some nodes are much more highly connected than other nodes.

The task that colleges face is to ensure that students with large social networks don't infect their contacts and to ensure that large events conducive to infection don't happen. Otherwise, no amount of wiping doorknobs and fogging classrooms with disinfectant will be effective.
What the hell is this? Is this even legal? Aren't these completely different concepts?

Their biggest problem is procuring EUV machines from ASML. Setting up a factory with these machines is no big hurdle for them if they are able to buy the machines. The U.S. is pressuring the Dutch government to prohibit their sale, with some success.

More likely China will now try to steal ASML's secrets and manufacture or duplicate the machines. ASML is known to have a large number of foreign contractors, and there are sure to be a few Chinese among them. If I where them, I'd quietly ban al ethnic Chinese from working at their company.

The math on this doesn't add up because your career doesn't just have to finance your retirement, it also has to finance the decades of your life before that.

Sure, if you had 150k at age 18 and weren't going to need another cent until you turn 65, you could drop that money in the stock market and wait for riches to come to you. But as it is, you're going to need some kind of job. And while there's a few pleasant careers available without college these days (software engineering being one of them), for most jobs that aren't heavy physical labor or minimum wage drudgery, you're going to need that college degree.
The mother octopus never left at all. It didn't move until the eggs hatched. The "checking in" was done by the scientists ("they"), on the octopus ("it"). Not by the octopus ("they"?) on the eggs ("it"... cannot be used to refer to 160 eggs).
