"denounced" is not good enough; this should make the government fall and trigger reelections, this should be the trigger that makes people exercise their 2nd amendment and form a militia for their own safety, because civilian are oppressed, murdered and abducted by the police and masked, unmarked militia.

But no, let's focus on the Karens who claim oppression because they need to wear a mask in Walmart instead.

Bloomberg has a steep learning curve but it's amazing once you've worked for it for a few months. I can access the most exotic functions or sub menus by just typing in a string of numbers. I don't think any other software allows you to already select menus on a page that hasn't even loaded yet. Changing anything is a huge annoyance for users.

There have been a few newer functions that don't allow accessing everything by number shortcut and they're certainly not the most favourite parts of the terminal.

Just as I will have a talk with my son about how to interact with the police (the same one my dad had with me), I'll be sitting both my kids down at the right time to explain to them that they need to do the essential process of exploring transgressions/norms in a manner that does not stay with them for the rest of their lives, even though they live in a world where most communication is over recorded channels. I said 10x worse things growing up, but none of it got written down -- they'll need to understand pseudonyms, awareness of whether they're being video or audio recorded, etc.

Go back a little more and you've got US concentration camps where they put in anyone Japanese or looking vaguely asian.

Go back a little more and you've got Mexicans at the border branded as dirty, forced to take bleach showers and have their clothes fumigated using Zyklon-B, inspiring the Germans to use it to mass-execute Jews. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_Bath_riots ).

Go back a little more and you've got slavery and states trying to segregate from the US to maintain the system.

Go back a little more and you've got immigrants genociding the native population using biological agents, bullets, and mass rape to conquer the land as their own.

The US has NEVER had the moral high ground; their best claim to fame is helping to liberate Europe from the Nazis, but other than that they've absolutely shit.
The 2003 protests were in a weird time. The Internet was a thing, yet the old media still controlled the image to a large extent. There were hundreds of thousands of protestors in large cities, but it was pretty consistently under-reported.

Today it would be impossible to ignore something that big, it would show up on social media.

To people arguing these are "arrests", well funny the arrested are just let go when they ask for a lawyer. It's an intimidation tactic. The rubberhosing and disappearing will come too, when that's deemed an acceptable intimidation tactic.

It's going to backfire in cities with popular support for the protests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onmsFzEtK7U
Likewise, but that cause is lost. They’ll be leaving the UN Security Council in the next few years most likely, in the name of control and sovereignty. I’d get out while you can.

With this method, you can derive all of statistical mechanics from information theory with constraints originated from thermodynamics. The observation of thermodynamic quantities, which are high level observations on particles (i.e. related to means, etc., and not to individual particles), puts constraints of the same kind as the ones listed in this article. This approach was pioneered by Jaynes (1952) "Information theory and statistical mechanics, I": https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Information-Theory-and...
Probably not, but would it be as widely distributed and read?

Honestly I DON'T trust my own reasoning. I can do this adversarial process as described in this article on my own, but that's incomplete. People outside of me have information and ways to view things that I don't. Others work as a discriminator and you update your opinions and views as more information comes in and challenges your own ideas. But it is because I don't trust my own reasoning that I read textbooks, seek out experts, and try to get as many views as possible, because no one has the complete picture.
I'd guess they were going with a theory such as "The subscription model out-competes the sales model on a few axes, therefore (all else being equal) a company relying on the sales model can't compete with a company relying on the subscription model. Sales companies fail, leaving only subscription companies."?

I think you have been misled. The sudden benefits of masks is a fiction invented out of whole cloth just weeks ago.

Here's what the US CDC was saying about masks before COVID:

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza

The idea that anything about this topic is clear or demonstrable is ridiculous. Masks are an ideological issue by the left, which is why my entirely reasonable post has been so aggressively downvoted.

PyMC3 does a lot of AST manipulation. More metaprogramming support a language has the easier and more at home this feels. The easier it is to inspect and modify the AST, less is the disconnect between the modeling language and the host language.

I've never understood why anyone uses the number of pages of the reference document as an argument. It feels like making fun of the hard work of people put into making the reference. The bulk of the reference probably consists of minor details that can be skipped but can also be extremely helpful when you actually need them. Should we make worse references just to appease some bean counting?
I heard (no refernece, sorry) that oranges do from green to orange when the temperature drops. Apparently colour change does not affect taste, nor necessarily indicate ripeness. Would anyone knowledgeable please chip in and correct or elaborate on this please.
I don't think this is a great timing. I also think the brexit was bad timing overall.

UK's engineering/scientific corp is good with electronics and biomed especially, areas where patents are really important, and having a voice on unifying EU patent without a doubt would have helped them.

They already need to import civil, construction and production engineers, and Brexit will probably end with a no Deal when the country is trying on giant infrastructures with a bit of central planning smell (and great job Corbyn&Friends on that by the way).
Honestly I rarely remember the full details of why I chose a particular tech. I did the deep research, picked what I believed to be the best tool, implemented and deployed it and now that tool is my baseline.

If you asked me a couple years later “why the hell did you chose that?!” I probably couldn’t give you many details that formed my opinion originally and couldn’t vociferously defend it by arguing minutiae of spec sheets. But I do know if you want to sell me on something new its gotta beat that baseline tool, not whatever opinions I might have had at the time of choosing.
Not even are there no further requirements, it's also one of the very few products where you as a single user will pay about the same as a bank licensing several thousand terminals. I don't know of any other product that doesn't come with meaningful volume discounts no matter what volume you order.
There is an entire industry devoted to giving people strong opinions about stuff they have not researched themselves.

They hide behind the false idea that people are unable to evaluate evidence. They will chew it for us. As proof of this, they offer up endless anecdotes of others believing things that the viewer is really sure are either true or false. The most effective 'bias hacks' are easily shown to be false; all that matters is that the viewer believe that "other" people hold that opinion.

A real test is who is willing to discuss it without getting emotional and derailing. The side that needs insulation does that for a reason.

Gaming confirmation bias is perhaps the 2nd most effective tool used to manipulate mass psychology.

They tried, it failed. They did a big redesign about 10 years ago to allow accessing functions also by search. So now you don't have to know codes anymore, it's just faster. But other attempts to redesign have been rolled back or never made it past testing stage.

Which doesn't mean it hasn't changed. A lot of elements see minor improvements over the years. Also, a terminal with enough elements open easily takes up 16GB memory, something that wouldn't have been possible 10 years ago. Bloomberg was the reason we had to equip all machines with at least 32GB to run smoothly.
Sure. It can't. Even GPUs will beat a CPU. In my paper I commented:

> GPU memory bandwidth is an order of magnitude higher than CPU bandwidth, so a GPU implementation of the Tanimoto search kernel should be about ten times faster. Chemfp has avoided GPU support so far because it’s not clear that the demand for similarity search justifies dedicated hardware, especially if the time to load the data into the GPU is slower than the time to search it on the CPU. GPUs are more likely to be appropriate for clustering mid-sized datasets where the fingerprints fit into GPU memory.

Corporate compound sets have ~5 million records. That can be searched on a laptop in about 50ms.

A large data set containing physically measured properties is ~100M records, which takes a bit over a second. The largest data sets people search, with synthetically generated compounds, is around 1G records. That requires distributed computing. But most people don't work with them.

They say the best camera is the one you have with you. Most people have a CPU with them. Fewer have massive parallel HW with them.

I can't see the UK voluntarily leaving the UN Security Council and as we usually act as the sidekick of the US I can't imagine they'd want the UK to leave either.
The guy you're replying to states flat out that (he believes) the police are correct, and the Portland DA is refusing to press charges for political reasons unrelated to whether any crime actually took place.

In effect, he's arguing that rioting has been decriminalised in Portland without any popular vote and without any explicit decision ever having been made. If that's true it's unsurprising the police keep arresting people and they keep being released. The issue there wouldn't be the police. If Portland wants riots to be legal when the rioters support leftist causes, they should explicitly adjust the local laws to allow it.

That said, the link they provide states the guy was released "on own recognizance" which basically means he promised to turn up in court at a future date, albeit with no bail money paid. So it doesn't say charges were dropped.
Leaving their permanent seat on the UNSC would be the last thing the UK would do if they were committed to control and sovereignty.

Then go to your Government and ask them to make such a Service, look there is just no point arguing about that, as a private firm you don't have to serve everyone, especially groups that are potentially bad for your brand.

Syntax highlighting shows something that's already visible. What could be highlighted that isn't already visible?

Undefined variables? Those really should get a squiggly underline, as with spell checkers. Some IDE probably does that already.

Anything more subtle?

A key point in language design and program tooling is detecting that thing A, which needs to be consistent with thing B far away in some other module, isn't. Most hard to find defects involve some distant relationship. What could be done with color or other automatic annotation to help?
> And 'waiting for the details to come out in a few weeks' is never justified.

Given how distorted and contextless the politically relevant information we get is, waiting a few weeks for the details is almost always the right choice. This situation may be an exception but I doubt it.

Not sure if you're joking but the UNSC is associated with power and prestige. The UK would need to be dragged out of that. Same goes for NATO.
There are plenty of options that are half in/half out. Any of them would be more appropriate than what we are heading towards given how close the vote was.
Yes, it's not ideal because of its lack of tail call optimisation, but as a Vim user I'm kind of envious now and then when I try to write a custom function myself.

Yes, use a language REPL, whatever you do with pipe in UNIX shell, is done via function calls or composing operators like |> in F#, or -> threading macros in Lispy languages.

Then since it is a full programming language REPL, not only you have text, there is also structured data to act upon.

On top of that comes the capability to directly access dynamic link libraries, the libraries of the language being used, and when the OS exposes it, application automation APIs.

So you can do stuff like select an open application, or something inside it, then switch to your REPL and execute some script over that selection.

Basically you open something like Jupyter Notebooks on the OS, and interact in a graphical way with everything that is running, not just executables that can only talk text via stdio.

Some real life examples, were the Xerox PARC workstations (Interlisp-D repl, Smalltalk transcript, Mesa/Cedar devenv), AmigaDOS shell with REXX, OS/2 with REXX as well, Native Oberon with its command modules, and for something more up to date, Powershell with COM/DLL/.NET/OLE Automation/WMI integration, AppleScript / Automator.

In modern UNIX clones something similar could be achieved via DBUS, KParts and a scripting language of your liking, like Python, Ruby whatever, but it remains a niche thing.

Isn't that why kinder eggs have a rather large plastic shell that contains the toy? I haven't seen one in years, but from my memory, even an adult would be unable to consume - or swallow enough to choke on - the plastic shell.
This was my first thought. If you'd stopped for a drink, because you really wanted a drink, you'd be more than a little annoyed to get some small cash prize and no drink when you opened it. One could probably curb their anger if they won 1k-100k. I feel like this was their biggest mistake here, not just putting Coca Cola in the can.

EDIT: According to the advert it could be up to $500 in a can.
> But the crypto design of that was botched, and it's easy to crack.

This seems like it depends upon a perspective unavailable at the time.

Until June 1943 (by which point Germany has in fact lost the war though it will fight on for a long while, the Eastern Front campaign is going terribly and the United States is increasingly diverting resources to a "Europe First" strategy which Germany can't conceivably overpower) the only breaks of Lorenz at Bletchley were based on what they called depth. Multiple ciphertexts using the same key, a fatal flaw for a cryptosystem even today.

For example a German radio operator begins encoding and transmitting an important message, and then is interrupted by some matter, after a few minutes they begin again but use the same key because it hasn't been impressed upon them that they absolutely must use a fresh key each time. If they make even a trivial typographical error the two ciphertexts will be different and that's enough to recover the messages.

Only in July 1943 do Bletchley begin actually decrypting any messages for which there is no depth. They do this because they have a (very primitive) electronic codebreaking machine, something that has never before existed. This machine is unsatisfactory in many ways but it's ludicrously faster than manual codebreaking.

So it seems unfair to critique Lorenz based on the fact that a suitably powerful electronic machine can break it. No such machines had ever existed before. Plus it took several years to even conceive of how to do the attack before the machine could be built, because of course programmable computers didn't exist yet.
> That's similar in spirit to scientific method

Yes! I think that science also demonstrates how Bayesianism, the author's proposed remedy, misses the point somewhat.

What probability do I put on my belief in quantum mechanics? Zero! It has to be wrong, because it doesn't account for gravity. On the other hand, I'd bet on it for every question it can answer.

Scientific theories are the strongest opinions of all. If you can imagine how the laws of physics, the antiquity of Earth, or natural selection could possibly be wrong, you don't understand them. But, historically, those theories replaced previous theories, which were strongly accepted in their day, and did turn out to be wrong.

There is no way that some theories could possibly be wrong, but it's almost certain that some of those theories are wrong. This is about a deeper type of uncertainty than probability can describe.
This is awful, a mess. I prefer little to no syntax highlighting, just a grayscale theme with some bold and italics. Actual code clarity (naming, etc.) and structure (indentation, whitespace, etc.) is what is important.

Recently there was an article here about what makes a good photograph, one element was few colors, bringing focus to what matters. That is what code should look like, like a good photograph. Not like a rainbow exploded.
I need one function in a wiki platform that I haven't seen so far. When I write text, in its WYSIWYG editor, I need an ability to paste in an image (a screenshot that I just grabbed, let's say) and for it to automatically upload it and embed it into text. Does this support something like that?
Hmm. I'll go check it out.

The main thing I'm worried about with other wiki software (including Wiki.js) is that if it's compatible with gadgets, userscripts and all of the other neat tools already available.

It doesn't have to be MediaWiki, or even a distant relative of it. It just has to work with them.
A really good post, but problem 2 is the biggie here:

> What if something needs to be colored two things for two different reasons?

As another commenter points out, JetBrains already do a lot of the ideas this person has raised - but they do it in response to actions. Eg. Put the cursor next to one bracket, the matching bracket is highlighted.

I think the key to breaking this open is an editor that does different highlights at different times in response to user actions; the key will be getting the right user actions so this is seamless and easy to use.
