Like anything, it's usually the payoff that is exciting and glamorous. I know the old hacker mantra: 'boredom and drudgery are evil' hence why we automate everything, but I don't think the mantra holds true for most hackers. The best hackers know that programming essentially works against you when you do it, because there's no instant gratification. You have to constantly bang your head against the wall (even because of simple syntax mistakes that make you feel like a n00b all over again).

The payoff is always fantastic though. Whitehat or blackhat, knowing that all that hard work and grunt pays off is a wonderful feeling. I tend to veer towards whitehat stuff though because of the old saying: 'If you can't do the time, don't do the crime'.
Where is this “idea that felons have opted out of civilized intercourse”? Spaghetti Westerns? North Korea? It certainly isn’t an idea aligned with American values.

Imprisonment is meant for rehabilitation in addition to punishment. There’s the idea, at least in theory, that people who commit crimes can eventually be functional members of society with full rights given a second chance. So we send people to prison and then let them resume their lives as citizens afterwards. If they owe money due to a civil suit they can still vote because why wouldn’t they? Franchise isn’t tied to financial means and shouldn’t be.
So why write this comment? What is your comment adding to the discussion?

Knowing when to shut up is a valuable skill to have.
It is, but not to the point where people are killed by the police or denied voting rights. The fact that you are trying to make things look good by saying it happens in other places too shows ignorance.
I think it’s unlikely that CBP has armed aircraft. Might be the same model numbers as things the military uses, but they likely don’t have any reason to have them weapons capable and probably don’t have the weapons even if they weren’t actually demilitarized prior to them obtaining the aircraft.
What? No, the hardest thing about producing an atomic bomb is spinning up enough U235. To produce highly enriched uranium requires huge numbers of gas centrifuges. This makes your facilities very large, conspicuous targets for espionage and sabotage.

If the hardest part was knowing nuclear weapons are possible then the world would be a giant glass parking lot by now.
Further to my original comment, as you can see, bringing this up results in your comment being flagged while other users freely go about spreading racist rhetoric. Just a few days ago I had a "discussion" with a user who drew an equivalence between "black lives matter" and an honest to goodness white nationalist slogan, and when I challenged this, mumbled about the ADL's "agenda". Guess who got flagged?
Apart from in a mathematical sense, how do you actually rotate a spin 1/2 particle say 360 degrees? Does this only apply in derived theorems like the spin-statistics swap of identical particles or is there an actual physical process where say an electron can itself be rotated 360 degrees and then acquire the -1 sign on the quantum amplitude (and then this could be measured by interfering the rotated version of it with itself, sort of like in a double-slit experiment)?
I have 16 GSuite accounts setup and have never had this issue in Mail. Even if my account login fails or the server is unreachable, the app does not automatically come to the foreground. I don't use full screen or spaces though (I prefer Moom) so maybe that's why I have never seen the issue.
Using Access Policies in Nonfig
The state doesn't know how much they owe because they weren't all that concerned before. Also, the Florida DOC has a nasty habit of inventing fines and fees.

According to you it should be simple. Whatever the sentencing judge has put in the sentence is the sentence. But that has proven not to be the case. The governor wants the DOC to find any and all unpaid fines and fees. And they want to be allowed years to resolve it.

The judge looked at the excuses the DOCs counsel was offering and quickly swatted it down. An ex-convict that has satisfied the terms of his sentence as it is written on the sentencing docket has no reason not to have their rights restored.
The paper you link to claims that hand-crafted queries used to evaluate the
knowledge and understanding of language models are "sub-optimal" because they
do not take into account the context in which a LM was trained. For example:

These manually created prompts (e.g. “Barack Obama was born in _”) might be
sub-optimal because LMs might have learned target knowledge from
substantially different contexts (e.g. “The birth place of BarackObama is
Honolulu, Hawaii.”) during their training.

In other words, the paper considers hand-crafted prompts like in the example
to be "sub-optimal" because they are not in the right format. To paraphrase
them a bit, such prompts are like making a mis-formed query to a database.

It is difficult to see how this is an argument for the ability of LMs to
demonstrate "understanding". Imagine asking a child: "how much is 4+2?" and
getting a correct answer; then asking "how much is 2+4?" and getting a wrong
answer. Most people would probably not take that as evidence that the second
question was "wrong". They would instead conclude that the child does not
"understand" addition and has only learned to reproduce specific answers to
specific questions.

To be fair the ability to return a correct answer given a question in the
right format is not without use. That, indeed, is how databases work. But it
shows none of the "understanding" or "knowledge" the paper claims is acquired
by Language Models.
I personally feel the same is true for those protesters as well. We all have the right to protest for Constitutional rights and the right to do so free of invasive surveillance measures. As far as I know the VA protesters were not Nazis or other individuals with violent ideologies, they were just normal gun owners.

Most of the MPLS protesters are also normal people fed up with the lack of attention given to the plight of minorities and the poor in the United States. So yeah, no false equivalence/hypocrisy here from me.

It is not a bug, it is a feature.
Someone out there had to write the code that pushes the mail app to the front. It does not happen spontaneously, someone made it happen. And made it an exclusive behavior without user control.

> Post US Civil war, we encoded a set of rules that on their face did not discriminate on race. But their effect was basically to prevent black people from voting and enjoying their civil liberties.

The laws about voting (poll taxes, grandfather clauses) did claim to not be about race to pass muster regarding the 15th amendment, but the same is not true of laws concerning exercise of other civil liberties. The bulk of Jim Crow laws were quite explicitly discriminating on race.

I have this showerhead that has a mist setting: https://cirrus-shower.com/ (I didn't buy the "aromatherapy" add-on stuff). It's good, but water flow is indeed a problem, and my heater switches off mid-shower when the showerhead is on the finest setting and uses the least amount of water.

> don't you end up fighting the editor to just get things done ?

That is often a problem, yes, but not just for the editor but the whole product.

By using such an integrated "game development framework" you basically also buy into all the tradeoffs. You get a lot of stability, robustness, WYSIWYG-editing and ready-to-use features, but you also need to align your whole way of thinking and your workflows to the design principles of the framework.

I like to compare game creation in Unity or UE4 to Photoshop. Sometimes ImageMagick or even MS Paint are the better choice, but if you only know how to use a hammer, every problem looks like a nail ;)
I feel that's an apples vs oranges comparison. I'd prefer to write complex scripts in python, but for simple scripts, I find a mix of bash and perl to be useful.

If you want to make a comparison though, I think perl vs sed is a more meaningful one. You can do things that's possible in sed with perl one-liners in a more portable way. It's installed by default on major Linux distributions, and even works on macOS without the GNU vs BSD incompatibilities.
The screen coating is still an issue. It crops up again every few years. I’ve gotten a few macs replaced for free because of it even when I didn’t mind.
You can't by the conventional means i.e. by voting. The military intelligence industry complex has evolved into something that ordinary people don't understand and ordinary officials can't control. It's already too late to vote them away.
I don't have any issues with Apple Mail but I do have issues with zoom, randomly switching from full screen sharing to the desktop and back again, it's incredibly annoying. It doesn't happen when I share my screen, only when others do. It seems to have gotten better recently but still happens in occasion. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe it's related?

Another approach is to just not use these stupid tools. I don't want to propose anything in particular, but it is nice to have an environment with bounds. I like to have something that just lets me create my own shit. And lets me use the occasional library to avoid a year-long extra project, without requiring me to buy in to another ecosystem.

> A "C++ monolith" allows me to potentially bypass a lot of this deployment stuff

No it doesn't. Let's assume you write that application as a C++ monolith. Congratulations, you now have source code that could potentially serve 10k users on a toaster... If only you could get it onto that toaster. How are you going to start the databases it needs? How are you going to restart it when it crashes, or worse: When it still runs but is unresponsive. How are you going to upgrade it to a new version without downtime? How are you going to do canary releases to catch bugs early in production without affecting all users? How do you roll back your infrastructure when there is an issue in production? How do you notice when your toaster server diverges from it's desired state? How do you handle authorization to be compliant with privacy regulations? I'd love to see that simple and safe shell script of yours which handles all those use cases. I'm sure you could sell it for quite a bit of money.

What you fail to understand is that k8s never was about efficiency. Your monolith may work at 10k users with a higher efficiency but it can never scale to a million. At some point you can't buy any bigger toasters and have no choice but to make a distributed system.

Besides, microservice vs monolith is orthogonal to using k8s.
I've had this issue for the past 2–3 years. It seems to happen because of improper error handling. If you look closely at the app in the instant it opens, your affected account will have a “disconnected” symbol next to it in the sidebar. However, it goes away before an error can be shown.

My theory is: there is a momentary connection issue with these G Suite accounts, and Mail.app starts to show an error by focusing itself, but the error is resolved so quickly it doesn't actually get to show the “connection problems” modal.

I hope this can be fixed soon, it's been a daily annoyance for me for a long time now.
I suspect they would need the lua-posix extension, which appears to be maintained by a fairly small number of people. Lua doesn't have some basic stuff they would want, like stat(), chmod(), sleep().

Edit: Sort of makes me wonder why a VERY C-like, small, dynamically typed, scripting language never emerged. Squirrel is kind of close, but not quite what I mean.
"The way a tool is used is the way that is encouraged by the tool."

Knuth is one of the most perfectionist computer scientists out there, and he still got it wrong.

The market economics are simply not in the favour of people doing extra work, and no amount of shaming will get that to change.

The alternative needs to be designed with accessibility builtin, and with decidability/markup as a conscious design choice.

We have such a format, HTML. The chances to get academics to use HTML with the coming open access wave are much better than getting them to rewrite all of their TeX templates.

Anesthesia’s effect on consciousness solved, settling century-old debate
I would speculate that for companies these two statements will be exclusive:

• Company saves money by not having to hire Linux sysadmins

• Company saves money by not having to pay for managed cloud products if they don't want to

As a developer I want to right code, not manage a Kubernetes installation. If my employer wants the most value from my expertice they will either pay for a hosted environment to minimize my time managing it or hire dedicated staff to maintain an environment.
> Someone out there had to write the code that pushes the mail app to the front.

Sometimes the code you write doesn't do what you had in mind. Or worse: gets triggered by side effects of something unrelated.

I don't think it's intentional in this case but even if it would be intentional after seeing this many bug reports everywhere you'd have to reconsider and make connection errors less intrusive.
As does Perl if you use Config::Inifiles or Config::INI::Reader (depending on whether you want a full blown solution or just a quick INI file => hash solution).

I am still not on Catalina yet and it started for me ca. 6-9 months ago. Perhaps with some Mojave update.

I am more and more turning off system updates (not only Mac) as those bring more trouble than good. Being a very late adopter pays off.

Most probably, but at those depths they should be relying on other "sensors" to survive as there is not that much light to illuminate their surroundings anyway.

I use php for small scripts that need to read csv and database lookup from the command line. It has built ins for these that work without any environment setup which is great sometimes.

Perl has some easy oneliners too. Depending on where I'm working sometimes I don't want to set up an environment.
I believe experiments were conducted in a way measurement capacity is irrelevant. Either it's an effect of things being rendered (as in a real "simulation",much like pixels in a game depened on the "camera" to render) or there is an undiscovered quantum property that is confined to dimensions known or unknown that have yet to be discovered.

In QM you have the observer, in relativity you have the reference frame, I think physics is exploring fundamental properies of the reality we experience,that it is a subset of something else.
Additionally, for larger eneterprises, the operational overhead quickly grows and slows down new app development, if one is tied to a traditional server approach.

Within our teams, we’ve found we can do with an (even) higher level of abstraction by running apps directly on PaaS setups. We found this sufficient for most of our use-cases in data products.
In general I find macOS handles alerting the user very poorly.

I don't know why but it infuriates me when icons bounce on the dock for attention. The animation is too insistent for whatever trivial thing the app wants to let me know.

Or an app will open some Important Dialog Box that I need to deal with, except it's hidden behind some other windows somewhere and the rest of the app refuses to respond to my clicks until I find the dialog box. It doesn't bother foregrounding the dialog box for me.
Two major issues that I can remember offhand:

1. Deletion/rectification of all copies (that includes backups!) of personal data on demand. We currently are not sure where (in which systems) we store all that data, not to mention adding features to delete/update all data on request in each of those systems.

2. The requirement to complete description of all processes within the bank which touch personal data. That involves creating a fuckton of documentation, a lot of it for systems where required knowledge is missing (i.e. no one is quite sure how they actually work).
>> This article doesn't mention anything about GANs or Autoencoders or VAEs or Flow or recent NLP advancements which are clearly way way better than what we have seen 5 years ago.

I agree we should be more positive, but I think it's a mistake to think that if we understand enough, we stop calling things bullshit. I think that there are two common meanings of the term that are analytically useful.

One is Frankfurt's, as explained in his book On Bullshit [1]. His definition is "speech intended to persuade without regard for the truth". There's a lot of this in tech. Ego-driven posturing. Blind ideology. And a bunch more that comes from American business culture, where we have a special legal category for bullshit so obvious that it legally doesn't even count as false. [2]

The other is what Lean process experts call Muda [3]. It can be translated as: "futility; uselessness; wastefulness". But bullshit is often a perfectly good translation. As the original article points out, there can be an enormous amount of wasted effort coming up to speed, like "the footguns that will cost me a day to debug". Just yesterday I spent a day on what turned out to be a bug from 2015 that hundreds of people have voted on, but the tool maintainers have refused to solve because it doesn't fit with their initially chosen architecture. I am comfortable calling that bullshit.

I also think your "I don't have to spend time on it" bit is, well, let's gently call it "erroneous". Languages aren't like books, where a reader's choices are infinite. There are a finite number of languages popular enough for practical use, and every one of them was built with the express intention of having a lot of people use it. Every one of them has people who make their living from maintaining it, and many are purely corporate profit-driven considerations. When people set out to insert themselves into other people's lives, there's an inherent level of responsibility there. It shouldn't be handwaved away.

Hi guys, I know some of you may have already seen this project. I have made some big updates and add some interesting new features. I wanna share it with you guys and once again ask for more feedback.

The original feature of this project is only shot analysis, it could trace the basketball shot and determine whether it's a score or miss. And now, it has a brand new feature! It's capable of analyzing the shooting pose. Besides displaying the angle of elbow and knee on every frame, it will also show the average pose analysis of each shot attempt. Release angle and release time are also included!

1. I implemented OpenPose to analyze the shooting pose. The angle of elbow and knee is calculated with the data collected by OpenPose.

2. The original shot analysis has a big problem which is that it would misdetect a head as a ball, and that will really mess up my algorithm. I solve this problem by avoiding the detections near the head coordinate collected from OpenPose.

3. The shot release angle is calculated with the first two detection points of the shot analysis.

4. Please note that there will be a relatively big error for the release time since it was calculated as the total time when the ball is in hand for each shot. I would be glad if anyone has a suggestion to solve this problem.

Please feel free to check out the README on GitHub page for more detail.

BTW, I would like to add more and more features. Please feel free to suggest what more analytics you would like to see on this project! I'm currently doing research on YOLOv4. I think it will significantly improve the efficiency of this project.
To me, this is the best argument against price gauging.

That said, I think it still doesn't matter because

1) You can substitute hand sanitizer with soap. In a way, hand sanitizer is a luxury item.

2) There is no monopoly on hand sanitizer. There are always less-savvy hoarders who sell their products so manufacturing the pandemic by hoarding doesn't work

3) Preventing the early spread of the virus requires state-level coordination to be successful or else the virus spreads anyway. So for the low reproduction number scenario, let's assume massive state intervention. In that case, containment is very likely and there is no future excessive demand for hand sanitizer, thus even savvy hoarders will sell their stock early on.
What the fuck is it with this site and shitty, specious analogies?

Society is not a game or stadium. There is no outside.

Justice is imperfect.

Laws are not all as obvious as 'breaking the bat'.

Now, responding to the part of your comment that isn't the shitty, specious analogy. You beg the question, saying that felons don't get to vote because they've opted out of civilized intercourse. You don't bother to argue the antecedent, you just assume it. That doesn't address the question being asked in the thread, it just affirms the way things are.

> But in the short term there isn't a difference in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Sure. In the short term almost nothing humans do can make a difference at Earth scale. It's a very big planet. But we have been burning huge amounts of fossil fuels for centuries now, which has got us into trouble.

> And I don't think wood burning should get a free pass just because somewhere a tree is growing. Ideally a carbon tax would apply.

Agreed.
