It was a light-hearted comment about a country that was part of Europe and now isn't.
Really?

We experimented with heaps of different fonts, colours, sizes, and OpenDyslexic is the one thing that worked the dyslexic in our family. It has significantly changed our lives for the better.

You’re doing people a huge disservice by dismissing it out of hand or sprouting some bullshit about children’s preferences. It costs literally nothing to try out - you just have to visit the web page ffs - and it either works or it doesn’t, but if it works it can be life changing.

The problem here is not Science. It's the perverse incentives in Academia and Journalism.

In Science as it should be practised, yes, a scientist talking to a journalist should "explain the the data and results and why that data makes sense". The journalist should then paraphrase that clearly for their audience, without altering the essential conclusions of the study/paper/experiment.

But this is so naive it's laughable now. Nobody, ever, does this. The scientist wants maximum impact, so will maximise the sensational aspects of their results. In turn the journalist wants maximum clicks, so will sensationalise more. What ends up being read by the public can be a very long way away from any conclusion that the data actually supports.
See, in the USA we have this thing called the Americans with Disabilities Act, under which providing accessibility options for people with disabilities to access your goods and services is required in order to do business.

No professional musician is going to use anything else other than wired headphones. You deprecate an old technology when something better has replaced it, not when you want to create a new market for a product to increase your revenue. The majority of BT audio codecs is inferior to a direct connection, and suffer from > 50ms latency.
I think enough of VS Code is open sourced to where if it truly were necessary to do a more serious fork with a community market place and all that jazz it would probably build up a userbase. Developers dont like certain amounts of shennanigans from companies. If Microsoft doesnt want to risk a mass exodus they will make sure not to do anything extra stupid with VS Code. Especially considering for some its the one Microsoft product sucking them in.

Update:

On the other hand with Neovim being able to run headless you may just need that and VS Code stripped and use Neovim for the underlying editing and plugins if you really wanted to have a more open VS Code ecosystem. Kind of a hack, but it would work.
code-server has most extensions available. They do it by scraping GitHub for extensions and building them.

https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/3da6c561b83d2a4c57f3...

The Microsoft extensions are notably missing, but they have a lot of other ones. There's an issue template for requesting another one if you find something missing.

Not sure if their second extension store is available for use by software other than code-server, but it's not an impossible problem.
I don't really understand the 'doomer' debate, that is to say complaining about negative news when the world in fact is facing enormous negative events.

It seems to me sort of like the 'three-wise-monkeys', just think happy thoughts and the world gets better or something. It seems infantile. I don't see how you can fix problems if you aren't willing to in the first place look at them, as we've seen in this pandemic the virus doesn't care how optimistic you are.

The prevailing opinion these days seems to be that people are too negative, honestly looking at the world in sober fashion I think most people are probably not scared enough.
Adding new SQL support to the Django ORM is tricky. There isn’t a nice low level abstraction for generating and composing SQL. It’s mostly a bunch of lists containing different kinds of data (strings, Col, Expression) and they don’t compose well.

On top of that, you’d need to come up with a decent frontend syntax that aligned with the existing methods.

I think Django made a mistake when first defining the language of aggregates by overloading the values() method and not using group(). To support rollup, values() would need to support it but only when used after an annotate. Not nice.

I often think about what it’d take to use alchemy for the sql building beneath the Django frontend. That would open up so many more possibilities and features.
You could use Google Docs, save it as ODT or some other format, and then convert it to Jira markup, (hopefully) preserving formatting. It sounds manual, but I am sure there are ways to automate it.

One fourth category to consider is "quick wins" (papercuts). The smallest things you can do that make customers feel delighted. Not everything will be game changing. These are the items that are easy to build, and still provide minimal value. These often don't qualify as "features", but do make life easier. For example, a simple "copy url" button or keyboard shortcut might fall into this category.

Good example from the Github Team: https://github.blog/2018-08-28-announcing-paper-cuts/

It saddens me greatly to think that scientists could not share data that they can't fully explain if it has any possible social injustice angle to it.

How many scientific breakthroughs across history took more than one person to figure them out and where subsequent thinkers built atop foundations and tidbits of those who went before them? (Almost all of them, IMO.)

Imagine if in the early days of AIDS, we couldn't talk about the role HIV might play in AIDS for fear that it would cast a negative light on communities affected by AIDS.

Imagine if we couldn't talk about the effects of parental, community, and early educational involvement in children's outcomes in life until we had perfect proof. Imagine we couldn't talk about the effects of inter-generational poverty until we had perfect proof.

"Until we have airtight causal links, we need to keep this quiet" is certainly not the way to make the fastest nor most effective scientific progress.

Thanks!

Answering your questions:

- If you log in and create a public notebook, it's stored on Starboard's server, then you can just share it by link. If you create an offline notebook it's stored in your browser's LocalStorage. Right now you can't create a notebook yet that only you can see or can be shared with a private link, to do!

But of course you don't have to use the Starboard website, you can just save it as a text file on your disk. In the future I want there to be a CLI tool that serves that notebook for you on localhost.

- No examples yet, it's future plans for now (but I hope to land that in a week or two!)

- No forecast.. It's just myself working on it, so you'll have to bear with me. I am working full-time on this.

Musk in particular has been... let's just say somewhat ill-informed about a bunch of recent events, though.
I stand corrected. Perhaps my point (or my understanding) then is more subtle. Perhaps what I mean to say is that the GPL license comes with additional virility, not found in BSD et al.

Perhaps the difference is most noticeable in libraries (where I do most of my work). Using a GPL library in a commercial app is generally impossible, where BSD (or LGPL) etc is completely acceptable.

In my experience companies are allergic to GPL specifically, whereas other licenses - especially MIT and BSD are far more palatable, and are frequently used.
There was also "some good news" briefly, but that was purchased by ViacomCbs.

Maybe this OP is also looking for a media deal.
The project readme seems to be lacking a good description of how powerful it is or which software and which workflows are supported (maybe with a list).

I remember pyEDA (https://pyeda.readthedocs.io/) interfacing with SAT solvers and BDD libraries, as well as some logic minimizers. The (EDA) field is large and pyEDA was good for general logic constraint solving, though I never tried to verify hardware.

With the HDL-Focus it seems "hardware" is a specific target here. This is not very well explained. But maybe for someone who works with HDL on the regular, this is not a problem.

Yes, 100% sure. Bridge posts come within 8" of the car and when you approach the bridge the return of the two (steel) posts is enough to trigger the radar based collision detector. Pretty dumb really, if there is nothing in front of the car and you're going forward you can't possibly collide with it and hard braking in a situation like that is much more dangerous than simply rolling through. I figure with the cars' GPS and a list of exceptions they could fix that sort of thing in a band-aid style fashion but they were not interested. I'm not going to wait to see what other edge cases aren't covered.

I’m sorry for your experience but dyslexia is not a singular condition and not everyone responds to the same stimuli.

OpenDyslexia has been a godsend for our family. I’m sorry it doesn’t work for you. I also know someone who found that coloured lenses helped her, but it made no difference to us.

Like most things in life, YMMV.
> - Almost no one does accessibility properly in web apps.

Screen readers can still (badly) work on web sites that haven't been made with accessibility in mind. And if you find you need to add proper accessibility to a web or native app, you can. With something like godot, you might have to rewrite the entire GUI to get accessibility working properly.

> - Using Electron does not give you accessibility in any way.

Yes it does. Electron gives you basic out-of-the-box crossplatform support for accessibility, just like chrome. And you can tweak the screen reader output the same way you would a website. See: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/accessibility

> - What laws?

EU: According to the first google result, by September 23 2020 all websites and mobile apps must be accessible to everyone, have a public accessibility policy, provide a feedback mechanism for users to report inaccessible content and provide a link to the enforcement procedure:

https://siteimprove.com/en-au/accessibility/eu-web-accessibi...

California (govt): As of July 2019 all websites made by the state of california must be accessible: https://www.levelaccess.com/california-passes-new-digital-ac... . There's similar results at the US federal level.

> - I don't know of any business doing general purpose commercial applications that has faced any issues with that.

You don't know anyone who's faced issues yet. Momentum behind these laws is growing in most countries, bolstered by the 2008 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities - which requires countries to "Provide information in accessible formats and technologies appropriate to different kinds of disabilities in a timely manner and without additional cost". In the US and Canada the law currently only requires government websites to be accessible, but its not a safe bet to assume things will stay like that.

>The net security result is worse.

Depends on what you're looking for.

Secure password written on a monitor (or on a pad in a locked drawer) is better than using "Passw0rd" (or some other trivial to the point of uselessness password that all the scripts will try) for most use cases assuming you have some semblance of physical security. Your coworker might login as you and F up something but some guy in Nigeria or Belarus is much less likely to encrypt the network share than if you had chosen the former. Just like everything else in security it's all about what your threat model is and what the trade-offs are.

The effectiveness of chronic opioids for pain is really patient and disease dependent. My SO has chronic abdominal and widespread somatic pain diagnosed with autoimmune small fiber polyneuropathy (by biopsy) and also chronic intermittent small bowel obstruction (diagnosed by gastrografin small bowel xray, thought due to peritoneal adhesions). Local surgeons refuse to try to lyse adhesions.
But opiates have been helpful and remain helpful 8 years into the disease process. They are pretty much the only thing that helps (have tried pain psychology, acupuncture, physical therapy, occupational therapy, several antidepressants, lyrica, gabapentin, celiac plexus block).

So persons with chronic (apparently incurable) disease with pain that responds to opioids <should> have access to the medication that helps. Maybe only 1/100 or 1/500 persons with chronic pain caused by an underlying disease do have a good response to opioids, apparently that was not your experience -- but please don't deny others the benefit of a medication that is helpful because you found it unhelpful!

You can inject any data (in numeric form if you want) as a second data input into your neural network (assuming you are doing something custom).

For example we do this to represent the position of specific sub-image parts we extract in an original image.

> just curious if it would help

Depends what you are trying to do.

For example normal CNNs aren't rotation invariant[1] so if you know a gravity vector it can be useful to make your image upright.

(Whilst CNN's aren't rotation invariant, it's common practice to augment training data by applying some rotation to the same image, so depending on how the CNN was training it may be fine)

Yes, the income is usually straightforward, but measuring the expenses requires some work and discipline.

It is not that difficult, though -- the greatest problem is to develop the habit. You need to make a note whenever you pay for something (there are smartphone apps for that), and have some simple categories defined (that you can refactor later). At the end of the month put your notes together with your online banking reports in a spreadsheeet... and you have the entire picture, which you can later compare to other months.

People who did this usually found some surprises, and were able to save some money. But it takes some time, and if you are employed and have kids at home, time is scarce; it is better to develop the habit sooner.

author here - was toying around with WAL-G as one of the many possible solutions for creating physical backups in Postgres. It has been my choice so far given its relative simplicity. My main motivation towards writing this article was to create an up to date and hopefully easy to follow end-to-end guide for it. The tutorials I referred to beforehand were rather dated and only referenced its predecessor, WAL-E.

>They’re tools, not sports teams. It’s kind of weird that they’ve developed fanbases.

Heads up but insulting critics by basically calling them weird obsessed fans is not a good PR strategy. Just saying. Personally I try to avoid companies that do that since I don't know when I may end up on the receiving end for some perceived slight.

edit: Also, odd to name it YOLOv5 presumably due to the strong brand appeal of that name, and then to go and insult people for that brand appeal.

That Goldman Sachs article from 2017 is looking a little bit outdated in light of Goldman Sachs own press release about their new European HQ in London in 2019 - https://www.goldmansachs.com/careers/blog/posts/goldman-sach...

So GS haven't moved headquarters, even though they have moved a small number of personnel.

Some others appear to be increasing capacity in Frankfurt and other European centres, or at least they were two years ago. All very predictable and sensible given what may happen.

But this still doesn't add up to "Banks kind of had to move their headquarters out of London". In fact so far there hasn't been a single example (here, in the thread) of a bank that has actually done that. Just a lot of speculation.

(I'm not making any strong claims that it won't happen, by the way, I just wanted to challenge the trope that it already has happened)

I think the insight is not incredibly original and follows naturally from OpenAI's Sparse Transformer. The idea is similar to Longformer. Two teams at Google had a similar insight, hence the high number of authors.

The original implementation only took a couple of months and was primarily motivated by internal Google applications. Natural Questions was the first external benchmark we tried to validate on, which took a few months to find the right setup. All the other datasets, took a few weeks but the effort was done in parallel given the large team.

There was quite a bit of frustration dealing with Tensorflow, TPUs, and the XLA compiler that maybe set us back a few months, too.

I've seen people try a similar maneuver when discussing Pocket. If you point out that the reported plans/expected outcome of Pocket being made open source have never come to fruition, even though it's now been 3 and a half years since Mozilla Corp acquired them, there's a certain type of person who will do a cursory search and point to the Pocket org on GitHub in an attempt to score some points and say you're wrong...

One thing to understand is services which deploy personal knowledge questions for password reset do NOT take security as their primary aim. The primary aim will be a cost-benefit optimum between user security and cost of customer service.

This cost-benefit analysis is strictly from the point of view of the provider. If their costs for a customer security breach are low, they will be willing to trade lots of insecurity for a little bit of reduced customer support.

I preface my comment with, I have a math degree.

First, I'm not sure what politics versus math reading has to do with the topic at hand - namely, car headlights. Second, you're complaining about downvotes. Third, you're complaints sound like "kids get off my lawn". So yeah... that's why you're getting downvoted.

To more directly engage with your point, politics isn't just an exercise in group think. It has very real consequences for many people - consider the number of deaths per capita in Germany versus that of Sweeden. The difference in response is one partly of politics and resulted in unnecessary deaths.
