Of course your example is the government, and because you have to chip in for the many services it provides people that makes it slavery in your mind. Eesh privilege.

At least cite low paid workers forced to keep working at the same low paid job because they can’t afford to take time off to look elsewhere let alone upskill to get a better job. Or prisoners who are essentially forced to work for pennies and then charged up the nose when their families go to call them. Or the many literal slaves that still exist and often prep your shrimp if you eat any.
How exactly would you make a serious attempt to message them?
Optimized for GC and figured it out. But that point also coincided with a job switch; I went to another ad tech company, but on the exchange side rather than the bidding side. And all our ad server infrastructure for that was written in C/C++ (with embeded V8 JS for biz logic stuff). Then that company was bought by Google, and I worked on the exchange side at Google, too, where everything was also in C++.

My successor at the original startup rewrote everything in Python. And I watched from the exchange side as they struggled for two months to meet basic performance constraints. They eventually got it though. It certainly can be done.

It's worth pointing out this was 10 years ago. And in the meantime we've had the usual improvements in machine performance, and SSDs are a thing in data centres, etc.
I don't know if that's true though.

Your standalone plot is surely worth more in an area that more people want to live in, and where developers could potentially buy it off you to subdivide and turn into multiple homes?
Texthero: A Python toolkit to work with text-based dataset effortlessly
Yeah this is odd. I didn’t spend much time there as it’s not a topic I particularly care about, but from what I saw it was mainly discussion around transgender and women’s rights from a perspective critical of TRAs, which is the standard view in the west from my admittedly limited understanding.
Which will tank home prices because suburbia is genuinely not livable without a vehicle.

Public transportation doesn’t work since people are super spread out, all commercial activity is miles away, your work is probably 20-60 min away by car.

Abolishing parking minimums or generally discouraging cars in isolation just makes everyone worse off. You have to make the area livable without a vehicle first.
> Go's error type is something declared as being returned from a function, there's no try-catch with an exception being handed up a call stack. That's like saying ASM has exceptions because you can leave an error code in one of the registers.

But Go's functions "recover()" and "panic(...)" are very much like "catch" and "throw" and are all about the callstack. There's just no "try", because this special snowflake implementation of exceptions works with slightly coarser granularity than is typical (function granularity instead of block granularity), since it's living under the same roof as the error type.
What do you think (ex)terminate means, while not being a quite direct reference to catastrophic events?
Absolutely. If you want something that's no hassles there's a lot of great options.

Heck I'll just do the straight Google maps api often, it's really easy.

OpenLayer is like vim/emacs, some people think the hassle is worth it.
One can look at it like how us developers look at testing.
You have multiple steps on the way from code to delivery. There are unit test, more realistic test frameworks, test environments and then finally tests at a customer / usage by a customer.

In the same vain I could see (and even hope) some mice tests could be decreased or removed as better models and simulations gets created. That would be quicker and more cost efficient for everyone. But in the end you want a real world test before giving it to a human. And maybe we could find better things than mice for that as well, but right now I think that is the best we have got. I am not a medical researcher though so I don't know if there are alternatives out there.
Sure but there isn’t a growing population of people who actively support randomly killing children in the same way that hateful/racist movements are growing in the US and elsewhere. That context matters.

This doesn't make the scanning dubious; it's just shows it's limitations of simply being a check of known vulnerabilities.

If you hadn't scanned, would you have fixed the CVE at all?
You could encode the deltas cleverly and likely use much less than 240GB.

Many ML models are like this (anything used in CV e.g. ResNet, VGG). For example, if you want to classify images as being hot dog or not hot dog (classes that do not exist in ResNet), you can take weights from a pretrained ResNet-50 and finetune the last layer based on a small training set of input images labeled hot dog and not hot dog. This lets you reuse the ResNet's feature detector layers, while plugging in specialized "is this a hot dog or not" fully connected layer.

I'd change it. Why do you ask?

> pre-emptive effortless empathy

Because the world is filled with negativity, and our language changes to refect the world: if we kept dropping every word that gained a negative connotation, within a few generations we'd be left with nothing but a child's vocabulary - if that.
Our team had someone who's an orphan. We try to avoid using the term because a joke became a pretty sad lunchtime when they revealed the fact afterwards.

Words have different impact to different people. It doesn't cost us anything to use "isolated" node rather than an "orphan" node, but it made the dev feel less excluded.
We've never had a truly open agora.

That's very much the point. But it's also a distraction, because the Englightenment idea that politics somehow operates on the basis of disinterested rational persuasion and public debate is clearly nonsense.

Politics operates on the basis of applied force and leverage between competing interests. The terrible thing about cancel culture is that it makes this explicit. Groups who are not usually allowed political leverage suddenly act as if they're no longer willing to stay in their usual place of political impotence.

This isn't entirely a good thing, for various reasons, most of which will be familiar. It also isn't an entirely bad one.

But it is unarguably a reminder of how power dynamics really work in this culture, as opposed to the rather self-congratulatory narrative of how we're supposed to believe power dynamics work.

It's also a reminder of what happens when political and business leaders ignore the rule of law and basic standards of representational social justice. Cancel culture and wokeness wouldn't be necessary - and wouldn't even be happening - if there was a general sense that the culture was fundamentally ethical.

Of course it isn't. Given that, there's no need to feel surprised that pushback is happening.

Senpai kohai would be the clear winner but unfortunately then we face problems of cultural appropriation.

I jest, but then what else is there to do other than that when children of color are being gunned down in the street by the only people supposed to be protecting them and the best that the white tech elite can come up with is some token renaming in their infrastructure documentation.

"but that's not all they're doing". Yes it is, if it wasn't things would have changed significantly before now and it hasn't and at this rate it won't this time either. It'll just allow white tech to keep attracting the types of white liberal employees they want to employ so everyone can go on avidly avoiding the truth.

Why are companies going out of their way in cost and effort to mass employ using visa schemes rather than work locally? Where are the grass roots campaigns to promote tech education in uber privileged areas / cities? Where are the paths to employment and leadership? Where are the programmes to promote tech hubs in said locations and create opportunities for people who can't move to the tech elite areas? The best answer to that so far is covid-19 forcing people to look at remote working options for employees. We didn't even manage that by choice.

What this hell is any of this achieving other than a few feel goods until the next horrific avoidable death?

> it is obvious why master/slave has negative connotations

how? it only represents a kind of relationship (a terrible one, yes) between people. But it's only a historic terminology.

Killer is a word that, following that logic, has negative connotations and it is used when people say "that's a killer feature". Stopping using those terms won't make past events to disappear. At worst, they'll be forgotten, making it possible for history to repeat itself.

Is it better to have representation when making policy
decisions? Pretty much everybody is saying yes. And
somehow, this "yes" gets interpreted as "can't have
an opinion on any topic as long as I'm not part of a
certain group". That's identity politics taken to the extreme.

I would encourage you to think holistically.

Here's (part of) my thought process. I don't know your demographics so I'll share mine. As a white man living in America...

1. Will I still have plenty of power and agency in my life, if I have the humility to refrain from forming opinions and/or exercising authority over matters in which I have no personal experience?

2. From a purely selfish perspective, won't I learn more and therefore become a better person if I do much more listening than talking when it comes to matters that affect groups I'm not a part of?

3. What are my odds of having better ideas on a given topic than the subject matter experts themselves? As a Ruby programmer, I basically don't have opinions at all on Python or how the Python community should run things. Why wouldn't I extend the same courtesy to women, or people of color?

4. Are there already a lot of areas in my life where I practice this kind of humility? When I step onto a plane, do I assume my opinions about flying the plane are on par with those of the pilots?
It might just prevent you from living in it, for instance if it happens to be in between a discotheque and a pig farm.

What makes me nervous would be not knowing if my long term investment in a living space could be erased by some arbitrary use of the neighboring land. And individual homeowners would have no power against corporate owners of the land.

Should such an arrangement be subsidized by federal mortgage subsidy and federal road subsidies?
Yeah to be honest we don't use Python for anything other than the build system, but it is available on all our systems so it is easy to use, and I couldn't find anything better. I would have liked to be able to use Typescript, but there's no really good simple way to say "Node: compile and execute this typescript file, please don't save the output on disk anywhere, or try to read tsconfig.json or package.json or whatever".

Hi Dr. Correa,

Thanks for writing. I've taken a quick look at your paper and its OSF page, and you all clearly know what you're doing and have some great work here. I am not your target audience (I am not an academic), but if I were peer reviewing this, I'd suggest one of two avenues.

1) As Angrist and Krueger put it, "In our view, good instruments often come from detailed knowledge of the economic mechanism and institutions determining the regressor of interest...progress comes from detailed institutional knowledge and the careful investigation and quantification of the forces at work in a particular setting." With this in mind, is it possible to contact the maintainer of Sci-Hub, email her your paper, and ask if she can think of any plausibly exogenous sources of variation in papers' availability on Sci-Hub? Some possibilities that come to mind for me:

* In my own experience, papers without DOIs are often harder to find on Sci-Hub. Are there closed-access journals that don't mint DOIs on which you could use propensity score matching to create something of an apples-to-apples comparison?

* Is there an identification strategy somewhere in journals with optional APCs for which only some of the papers are open access?

* Were there ever any sci-hub outages that lasted periods of many months, and, however long down the line, did the citations of paywalled articles decline relative to their open access peers?

2) If none of this is possible, I suggest removing all causal language from your article and sticking to a predictive model. Observational research is appropriate for exploring and identifying causal hypotheses rather than confirming them; no statistical techniques that attempt to control for unobserved population heterogeneity will persuade me otherwise (I am admittedly an extremist on this position, but my own views hew closely to those of Gerber, Green and Kaplan (2003): http://www.donaldgreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Gerber...). The Lewbel (2012) paper you cite looks interesting but, to paraphrase Gerber et al., statistical techniques can't account for nonstatistical sources of uncertainty (the inherit unnkowability of whether you've specified the 'correct' model, in the absence of randomization or exogenous variation, means we can't say anything about the biasedness of your estimation procedure).

Observational research is great! Generating hypotheses is as important as confirming them. It's just that some research designs license causal inference, and some do not.

Best of luck.
> The composition of the NBA is staggeringly disproportionate relative to the overall population. That's a problem, too, right?

Yes, and it's a symptom of the lack of opportunity for blacks. Why are blacks far more likely to make the necessary investment of time directed at that end with the extremely low probability that it pays off? Because they are far less likely than Whites to have much other opportunity that they are sacrificing to do that.

Bluntly put, it takes time to die from any disease.
I’m surprised that free market enthusiasts don’t see zoning laws as a limitation of freedom, even though it’s probably the most direct limitation by government today.

There could be so much innovation in solving the NIMBY problem. Make a cash payment to neighbors while construction is happening to compensate for the nuisance, give them equity in your new building if their view is damaged, obligate builders to also build bus stops/bike lanes/whatever to make the streets navigable with high density, mixed use construction with privacy to avoid strangers.

So many problems that people have with construction can be solved and incentives aligned if people had the ability to try to convince their neighbors.

Instead we’ve ended up with city councils that have high incumbency rates because voting in city elections is cumbersome requiring you to convince the whole city to change zoning rather than just your neighbors.

And I’m surprised politically liberal people aren’t even more in favor. So many people want to move to the west coast but can’t due to cost of living. Instead they move to the south and southwest. Even if California got a million staunch republicans, the state would vote democratic overall and get more electoral votes. In fact, I wonder if some of our political polarization is the consequence of reduced mobility due to high housing costs for new people.

I’m hopeful the millennial generation fixes federal housing policy. That alone would be a meaningful contribution to society.

> What invalidates me as a good tenant?

Nothing, I believe you are a good tenant. But this competitive market with limited resources has "perfect is the enemy of good" situation. Landlords can choose and they want perfect.
Bet you won't have to dig far to find that the author of the article is an apartment developer or very adjacent to one.
For distances of 10 miles or less, a bicycle would work as a vehicle.
I think the title's a bit more provocative than the point I took from the article: that right now the premiums for that "small piece of land" ain't quite high enough due to that being specifically subsidized, and that we should remove restrictions preventing the construction of multi-family homes or residential/commercial hybrid properties.

My problem with apartments is that they ain't "mine". Not once has an apartment in which I lived allowed its tenants (myself included) to even paint the walls, let alone hang pictures with nails (gotta use those adhesive strips that absolutely suck) or mount a TV to the wall. And no way in hell would they allow me to do crazier things like putting Ethernet jacks and speaker hookups in the walls or replacing the light switches/fixtures (hell, most get uppity even if I change a burnt-out bulb) or putting in those fancy outlets with the built-in USB ports¹. Even if I were to "own" my apartment (i.e. as a condo) there's no way in hell they'd be okay with me swapping out the windows, or putting in better insulation, or installing a solar power system (and they'd probably still object to me ripping apart the walls to put in those Ethernet jacks / speaker hookups).

And then on top of all that, there are countless other things I can't do by nature of not "owning" the outdoor space, either. Shed? Nope. Barbecue? Usually not. Workshop? Not unless I'm lucky enough to have an attached garage². That DIY smelter I wanna build³? Hell fuckin' nope.

I feel like a happy medium (for me at least) between "stuck in an apartment" and "suburbia" would be townhomes or something similar: still "detached", but thinner and much closer together, with an emphasis on building vertical. Could even be on the same square footage of land, just thin and long instead of fat and square.

More critically, though, I strongly believe the distinction between "residential" and "commercial" zoning should be significantly blurred. Both in the sense of mixed-use buildings⁴ and in the sense of small business owners living where they work / working where they live (e.g. shop or restaurant on the first floor, and the owner lives on the second floor, as was once traditional).

⁴: I'm a strong advocate for underground parking + ground floor(s) for shops/restaurants + additional floors for apartments/condos or offices; even if apartments/condos ain't my cup of tea, I'd rather live in that sort of place than a building that's just apartments

Nevermind that the master copy doesn't control anything at all, it is a master copy of the repository, nothing more.

I guess that's what they meant. However, that's a bit misleading, since the runtime doesn't care about that that's a value type captured in a closure, as it's a class field in IL already. And those are always allocated like their containing type.
Not having a parking minimum doesn't mean that people won't build parking. Just that they aren't forced to if it doesn't make sense.

The flip side to this is that it doesn't work in the context of on street parking. Or at least it allows some freeloaders to overwhelm the public resource.

But that's kind of the point for them. The goal is to make cars unviable so that people are forced to use public transportation.
I'm a minority. My culture has had slavery as an institution for millennia, likely including some of my own ancestors. It also didn't legally abolish slavery until decades after the end of the Civil War in the US, so there's more claim to recency. And, honestly, I couldn't care less. I have better things to do than to try to collect imagined debts from more than a century ago for wrongs that were never done to me.
Federal mortgage subsidies are tied to single family housing as well.
That's what I did when calling OpenBLAS and MKL, but I confess I don't know the internal details of a non-inlined `matmul` call in gfortran when you don't use `-fexternal-blas`.

Just writing three loops and letting the compiler optimize it was much faster for `A * B'`, so it must be a pretty naive implementation getting called.
