I agree that it's an anectdotal point, but I don't think it's extremely unlikely. Covid affects a greater age range and there may be lifestyle factors at play, some people may know many people at risk of covid and few who are at risk of flu. It may be extremely unlikely in a random sample, but this isn't a random sample.
McKinsey DS here. I don't think I've ever heard such a claim about data science whatever, although I would probably believe it. I do hear such claims a lot in the context of big transformations.

These claims are usually high level and based on surveys or whatever. Failing usually means leadership gave up. As far as high level awareness of project success rates, it's probably accurate enough to justify the point: companies are generally bad at doing X. This tends to be true for many different kinds of X, because business is hard.

I generally don't agree that people make up destined to fail projects for selfish gains. I'm sure it happens, but that seems bottom of the barrel in terms of problems to fix. With DS specifically, leaders just don't know what to do. So they hire data scientists, and the data scientists don't know anything about the business, so they make some dashboards or whatever and nobody uses them. It's really not easy. Business is hard.
> Strange to see the American Revolution called leftist

The American Revolution was absolutely leftist in the traditional sense right as "support of the monarchy" or conservative and left as "royal abolitionists" or progressive.

Of course, this maps a little awkwardly onto modern American politics. For example, the Americans of the 1800's were progressive in a lot ways, but they kept supporting the system of kidnapping Africans for slaves (and chattel slavery in general) for a lot longer because they benefited so greatly from it.
They did eventually stop. I have no idea whether that's because I stopped trying to log in, or because some customer service agent actually read one of my pleas for relief.
I experience the same thing. It's bad. Mine is more related to not knowing where the universe came from and why we exist.
That's a pretty generous interpretation of white flight. You leave out the redlining and segregation that were huge factors in white flight and subsequently reverse white flight and gentrification.

No amount of natural evidence (that is, empirical evidence) can ratify a supernatural belief. Following Popper, then, the burden of evidence is on you to overcome quantum mechanics.

We're both deists, by the way. I follow the Flying Spaghetti Monster. However, the FSM is absurd, which means that I cannot use the FSM's existence to conclude facts, and additionally doesn't affect the material universe. Also, the FSM doesn't maintain cults, encourage child abuse, start wars, nor allow simony.

Your "traditional theism" is metaphysically and epistemically weak; it cannot say anything about the world other than that its deity exists and has material affect upon the universe. However, empirically, there is no evidence of the deity (because they are supernatural), and so the deity cannot have any scientific method associated with it. Simply put, there's no room in the natural world for a supernatural being! Every empirical effect is instead considered scientifically.

The only gap left would be for you to show that miracles or other supernatural phenomena are real. On that, I have nothing polite to say, just to wish you good luck on what will definitely fail.
What does "pounding sand" actually mean in this context though? Considering that the people in question are complaining because it's already happening to them? You can't just tell people to stop complaining about grievances.

Any language is non-IDE-friendly compared to what you have out of the box for languages such as Java, C# and even Python in IntelliJ's IDEs.

Most languages at most have autocomplete and definitions look up (and even those are often very brittle). That is a far cry from what an IDE should be able to provide.

Granted, recently I only tried OCaml via Reason, but I remember that some of the errors the compiler produces are not IDE-friendly either (something like "Type A provided but elsewhere wanted B" with no indication where :) ). But that's mostly due to the age of the language (most "old" languages are very user-hostile and have very terse/cryptic error messages).
My impression too. I earn my money turning your mess into a data "landscape" - I saw people wanting to jump on the ML wagon, who did not even heard of version control for code before. Not a winter, no, but a long bumpy road ahead.

There are some things, like OLS and logistic regression, that are commonly used for both purposes. But there's a sort of moral distinction between machine learning and statistical inference, driven by whether you consider your key deliverable to be y-hat or beta-hat, that ends up having implications.

For example, I can get pretty preoccupied with multicollinearity or heteroskedasticity when I'm wearing my statistician hat, while they barely qualify as passing diversions when I'm wearing my machine learning engineer hat. If I'm doing ML, I'll happily deliberately bias the model. That would be anathema if I were doing statistical inference.
OP didn't mention how long the previous owner had it. In this case, not long, but imagine paying for a .io domain, which used to be > $100/yr, for 10 or more years and then someone comes along complaining that they can't have it for $100. Does it really matter why they were "squatting"? How many of us register a domain, with the best intentions, for an idea we never get to and then won't let it go for less than the sunk cost + the opportunity cost?.

"working for" then "starting their own" yeah. See, you get it.

Your analogy gets even better, just not in ways you expected, in that people who go work at Michelin starred restaurants in the kitchen do so for low-to-zero wages because the real benefit is the experience they're gaining initially.

Are you sure about that? Catalina has this "developer tools" permission that allows running unsigned/non-notarized binaries. Xcode grants that to itself, but you could as well grant it to things like Terminal and run your app from there. Bonus points for including a shell script with your app so the user doesn't have to run "scary" commands manually.

Yes, there are going to be (one-time) UX compromises, but I think it's possible to make it feel more or less okay for the average user.

Interesting; when my wife and I both get sick we always note this recurring theme where I get this intense but brief bout of illness, and her's are more drawn out and prolonged but significantly less intense. Timewise we're talking about 1-3 day sickness for me and 1-2wk sickness on her end. That recurring observation has caused a bunch of speculation between us about evolutionary protections and stuff where perhaps the man being down has more immediate risks that can threaten the family in the protecting role or something like that. Not sure entirely but fun to imagine about.
It's not that they "could only" do that, it's that their primary life wasn't full of cultural entertainment as the comment made it sound. They came to the cities looking for work and and opportunity, not from a late-20th-century sense of "small town life isn't interesting enough".

There is one benefit of having people in the loop in that they come with a completely independent set of sensors for flying the aircraft. Look at the recent issues where the single sensor on the Boeing Maxs crash the aircraft. They're far from perfect for sure though(see the times people did the opposite and ignored the correct sensors causing a crash) but there's a definite benefit to having two completely different systems monitoring the data. It's unusual to see that level of safety differentiation, not only having multiple copies of a sensor to take measurements but multiple different designs and types of sensors measuring the same thing to avoid correlated failures.

> ...like so many careless anglicisms

Actually, I believe the etymological root of "default" is exactly the same as "difetto."

"from Old French defaute (12c.) "fault, defect, failure, culpability, lack, privation," from Vulgar Latin *defallita "a deficiency or failure,"" [1]

The issue is that in English this was then used to mean "failure to pay a loan" (in 1850s) and then someone in the 1960s started using it in computing to mean the option chosen if the user fails chose."

So English just stretched the meaning way beyond the original, so it's no surprise that this new meaning doesn't really match in other languages' cognates for the word.

We at NetToolKit have been working on related problems for years and might have two products that directly address what you are looking for.

We launched Shibboleth (a CAPTCHA service) about a year ago, and you can select from a variety of different CAPTCHA types (including some non-traditional types; different types have different strengths and fun factors): https://www.nettoolkit.com/shibboleth/demo There are a variety of options that you can set, and you can also review user attempts to solve CAPTCHAs to see if you want to make the settings more or less difficult.

Recently, we launched Gatekeeper ( https://www.nettoolkit.com/gatekeeper/about ) which competes against Distil and others, but without fingerprinting. Instead, site operators can configure custom rules and draw on IP intelligence (e.g. this visit is coming from Amazon AWS or this IP address has ignored ten CAPTCHAs in two minutes), and Gatekeeper will indicate to your website how it should respond to a request based on your rules. There's also other functionality built in, such as server-side analytics. Some light technical integration is required, but we're happy to help with that if need be.

As with all NetToolKit services, we have priced both of these services very economically ($10 for 100,000 credits, each visit or CAPTCHA display using one credit).

We would very much appreciate a conversation, even if it is only for you to tell us why you think our solutions don't fit what you are looking for. I would be happy to talk to you over the phone if you send me your phone number via our contact form: https://www.nettoolkit.com/contact

I asked myself, would the same images, if rendered in CG or photoshopped, lose their charm/appeal? My conscience responds with a resounding "Yes". So, then the process itself must be the art and not the end result. The process being actually flying the drone, taking long exposures instead of pressing buttons on a keyboard and moving the mouse to generate or modify an image. Why is the former process more appealing than the latter? Both are intellectually challenging processes. I always struggle with this internal dialog.

...and it's not even just the controversies. Manjaro feels like they play fast and loose with everything. Arch doesn't include AUR helpers by default specifically because of the potential for user-generated packages to install malware or do something damaging (with the intent being that if you want to use the AUR you really ought to understand the implications). Manjaro not only includes AUR helpers--it seems to actively encourage its use for packages not officially maintained. Though, in their defense, their wiki page does (finally?) include fair warnings borrowed from Arch[1]. I'm just not sure it shares the same visibility.

Otherwise it feels like a parasitic project masquerading as "Arch but easier." While there is truth to the latter, the oddly curious aspect to me--having been helping newbie Linux users for a couple years now--is that it seems new users generally have more long-term problems with Manjaro than they do with Arch. I don't have any facts to back this up, but speaking from my own anecdotes one would think the "easier" distro wouldn't be subject to this sort of trouble.

Also, they recently lost all of their support forum images earlier this month[2].

> I think it shouldn't be too difficult to add intellisense for Haskell-like syntax to IDEs as well. Especially with all the types available!

On the contrary, this should give Haskell an advantage because all the types are known and the IDE should be able to autocomplete only the correct parameters. But that requires compiler-as-a-service, and GHC is not. And writing your own analyser for a language is quite a task.
Where does that time series come from? Can we get one for say, Terraform or Django or some other baseline to compare against?

Smalltalk's editor...wasn't great. And I was a vi user at the time. (Not vim, vi.)

SCM? Hah! The image was path-dependent. I seem to recall getting into a position where the code you filed out of one image couldn't be filed into a new image---you had to get a previous version and then upgrade.

Deployment strategy? Ship 'em the image. Maybe you should disable the editor first, though.

No matter how bad you think "modern" dev is, Smalltalk was worse.

I'm not sure you can draw any conclusion here. (Except, seemingly, "I don't like this, don't have any rational argument, and so should downvote" ;)

The only one that you can make, based on the data, is that US politics trend much further right than many other places, and that talking about "Democrats" and "the left" in the same breath doesn't make any sense in a global context. They just aren't.

And I think that is very relevant when you want to talk about US politics. It defines the available spectrum.

> Throws an error if two of those types are non-comparable

The problem is that practically everything in Javascript is comparable. This doesn't really solve the sorting conundrum, it just rephrases it. What's the intuitive way to handle:

5 < {}
5 < '10'
5 < 'hat'
5 < function () {}
5 < { toString: ()=>15 }
5 < { toString: ()=>'15' }
5 < { toString: ()=>15, valueOf: ()=>2 }
({}) < ({})

If your assertion is that all of those should just throw errors and we should stop doing type inference entirely, then that's kind of reasonable, I guess, but that's a much more drastic change to how Javascript works. If the assertion is that thinking through Javascript operator conversions is easier than thinking through string conversions, I just disagree with that.

Javascript's operator conversions are more complicated and have more weird rules and edge cases. They are (somewhat justifiably) one of the biggest things people complain about in the language. The last thing I want is to have to explain to a new programmer why `5 < '10'`, and `5 > '3'`, but also `'5' > '10'`. Given the way that Javascript is set up at its core, I think using comparison operators for a default sort method would be a disaster.

Using `<` as it's implemented today would mean that even a simple array like `[5, '10', '3']` would sort non-deterministically depending on what the sorting algorithm was and what order the indices were compared with each other. It's unusable unless you're going to change how Javascript operators work.
Probably a crazy unpopular opinion, but I kind of agree with the Hyperbola (GNU / formerly Linux-libre, in future using a fork of the OpenBSD kernel https://itsfoss.com/hyperbola-linux-bsd/) devs that Rust in Linux is not necessarily a good thing, for the reasons they mentioned when they announced they were switching kernels (https://www.hyperbola.info/news/announcing-hyperbolabsd-road...)
