To your second point: I find that I can be passionate about almost any problem that needs solving, but only if I manage to sufficiently immerse myself in that challenge. This is where the struggle is at for me, to keep my focus on a task long enough to reach that zone. Some days it is easy, other days it is impossible. Other days I manage to force myself into it, but it takes time.
Yes. A very quick, less than a minute, skim of the article would tell you that.

Thank you for feedback. HTML behavior is useful when authoring plain text

<pre>
foo
</pre>

But I write in browser, by content is DOM, HTML is a poor serialization format. Each time I save and reload it eats newline.

Other arguments - </script> inside <script>, </style> inside <style>, <ul> inside <p>. It just works in XHTML, as it would in JSON, EDN etc. HTML parser is a beast [1] [2], you would have much more problems.

World around us clearly states there is a need for a rich text format. Hardly anyone objects web browsers for document consumption.

"The number of hours with negative power prices in Germany increased by around 50 percent to 146 hours in 2017, which translates into 1.6 percent of total time"

So if you're only going to run it when power costs are negative, you're amortizing the capital costs over running the plant for the equivalent of six days a year in 2017 Germany.

Say we have a system of implementing some ethical framework in an AI application, how do we actually decide on what those ethics are. The problem gets harder the more global the application is - ethical values held in one place won’t be the same as another.

That would be great, but reality is that product development at many places depends on a few people to be aware of accessibility in the design process.

And there are situations outside of product usability it will be helpful to know what is commonly seen. For example, when someone asks you to pick up X item at a store that is a color that you have a hard time identifying.

That society already exists in e.g. Nordic countries. If we look at Sweden, Finland etc, total tax revenues as percentage of GDP are 48-54%. In USA, they are 24.3%.

So here's a smaller community where the majority is fine with high taxation in exchange for freely available health care, higher education etc.

Family funds exist here (e.g. Novo Nordisk is 25% owned by a humanitarian fund, Mærsk) but are less important than US.
This format seems to support one-space indents, so you could use an editor which highlights spaces easily and set indent level to 1 for visibility. The alternative is unfriendly config or another method of doing the same thing, and both are antithetical to having a simple data format.

When living in japan my apartment came with this microwave that wasn’t smart by any means, but had like 50 buttons and I only ever had to use one of them.

The Start button.

It would start heating and I would guess there was a temperature sensor that would automatically stop the thing once the food was hot. In a case it was not hot enough, you would press the same button again and it would go on again for another 20 sec or so.
Brilliant.

You are so on point! I was exposed to the music as a toddler. Totally forgot about it. At least so I thought...

I just clicked some audio samples and it all came rushing back, as if it all happened yesterday. I seriously hated those songs. Still do. I remember what I was thinking about it: the music tortiously drags it's tempo; individual sounds resemble decay and disintegration. Everything is so slow, as if embedded in tar. Instrment players seem to be just out of hospital and pumping their last breaths into those trumpets. I can almost hear arthritis squeaking in player's joints.

Those are the exact thoughts I had when I first encountered the music. I could easily be an 8 year old at the time. What a trip down memory lane!

of course the tables have turned and, I imagine, I'm coming off as the same grandpa to the newer generation

Rudolf Carnap worked hard on formalizing ethics (and everything else) in the 20th century; the project was a total flop.

It turns out you can't formalize anything that doesn't have proofs -- in other words, it basically only works for what we'd call "mathematics" or "pure logic". You can't formalize literally anything else in philosophy, at all.

The regress argument has nothing to do with ethics in particular. It applies just as much to any non-proof area of study, including all of science, history, and even ordinary observations and recollections.

"It is a common assumption that stone drilling
originated during the Upper Paleolithic, but gained the
features of a well-developed technology only during
the Neolithic. The comparatively archaic method of
two-handed drilling was replaced by the more efficient
bow drill (Ibid.: 62). The process of stationary drilling,
i.e., with the help of the bow drill, did not leave signs
of drill vibration. These progressive features have
been noted on the Denisova bracelet. It constitutes
unique evidence on an unexpectedly early employment
of two-sided fast stationary drilling during the Early
Upper Paleolithic. All of the other known Paleolithic
implements with signs of drilling bear features
suggesting relatively slow drilling with a considerable
drill vibration."
So, this is basically YAML, "but better". I can repeat once more that "easily understood and used by both programmers and non-programmers" is unapologetically stupid concept that can never succeed. So I see how all of this will sound all too familiar to anybody with a little experience, which makes them to automatically dismiss this YAYAML.

But YAML is really quite complicated, and JSON (which shouldn't be used for config files at all) and TOML (which I love and wish it would gain more popularity) aren't exactly alternatives to YAML. So, I would be actually totally ok with "YAML, but better", as a way to deprecate YAML.

Now, it is clear from the start that this cannot deprecate YAML, because it doesn't even have booleans and numbers. But, surprisingly, I can accept this as well: ok, let's just assume that being good at dealing with strings may be enough.

The problem is, it isn't clear at all from the docs, if this is better than YAML at anything. It raises dozens of questions. I'll start with the most basic ones (using [] as a wrapper/delimiter): how do I represent values [ a], [a ], ["a"] and [""] in this file format?

It refers to https://osm.etsi.org/

In essence, it's an attempt at an open source management and orchestration layer for virtualized telecoms networks (i.e. 5G). In the telecoms world, since everything moves in 10 year standards cycles, they're only just moving off black box dedicated hardware towards white box.

Until now, management and orchestration has been vendor proprietary in the telecoms world, and this is an attempt to standardise an open and interoperable way of doing it, more like how we do in IT.

Don't read this to be a criticism of telecoms as being outdated or backward - they just have very different tolerances of breakage (which IT tolerates as inevitable or necessary or "move fast and break things"), so this is a big step. In many countries they have a 7 or 8x 9's uptime requirement on their main telecoms core network, and similar expectations even in access networks. NFV is network function virtualization, which is the move towards each component of a 5G network being software, rather than dedicated hardware, running in a hypervisor instead of on dedicated bespoke silicon.
> Did you know you can make an XML file that reads your /etc/passwd file when it's parsed?

Not only can SGML (but not XML on its own) read /etc/passwd, it can format it into fully-tagged markup and then render it into eg an HTML table. Demonstrating what SGML/XML is actually designed for: encoding and authoring semistructured text. This can't be overstated in discussions like these where use cases for config formats, service payload formats, and actual text authoring are all thrown into the same basket when they shouldn't.

Btw: you can parse and canonicalize this new config file format into markup using the same SGML mechanism you'd be using for CSVs like /etc/passwd, namely short references

Btw2: you can skip/ignore markup declarations in XML, including whole declaration sets (DTDs) since these can be recognized using plain greedy regexpes, though you can't ignore entity declarations when actually used in your XML body text
But which of these are problems in configuration files written by a human? That is the aim of the format. Moreover in applications were there could be issues, it would most certainly be tied to very specific fields and you would want specific application logic to handle that field. Now if people misuse it as a data exchange format or so, yes I agree with you, but at that point just use a binary format instead.
I did a course where they played the same playlist before the next part of the course after the break.

The last two songs were:

Danger zone

Chosen for their relative lengths!

You know when danger zone is on there is one song left, it gives about 4 minutes for everyone to kinda get ready, finish coffees etc.

Then we will rock you is short so once everyone is kinda ready it’s not long before the lesson starts.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. hmm any machine learning project has to start with a dataset. Most of the time you will have to construct it (or take an existing one and update it) manually. Sure there are tool that generate a dummy dataset for you but that would be just for playing a world and certainly not for a real world use/production.

We are actually working on adding support for text, excel and json format in igel.

We already implemented some of the famous preprocessing methods in igel, which you can use by providing them in the yaml file.

Now about preprocessing libraries, I personally use numpy, pandas and some of sklearn functionality to preprocess data. Furthermore, I use matplotlib and seaborn for some visualisation & further analysis.

>What all these have in common is a desire to create irreproachable systems. Like math, like physics. In practice, they created religions. Religions are irreproachable too. The way religions become irreproachable is by banishing heretics. That's what the "secular" rationalist philosophers did to. Rand was famous for her banishments.

I'm not talking about using mathematical, logical approach to find the "most correct" philosophy. As Wittegenstein noted in Tractatus, the "most correct" approach is:
"To say nothing except what can be said, i.e. the propositions of natural science, i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy: and then always, when someone else wished to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had given no meaning to certain signs in his propositions".

Rather I'm talking about using formal methods to analyse existing systems. Identify their axioms, identify the deductive rules they permit, and determine how consistent they are. Maybe even formally verify this in a proof assistant. Then it'd be also possible to e.g. explore what different systems can and cannot prove (somewhat akin to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_mathematics). An example kinda along these lines is Lawvere's work on modelling Hegelian philosophy as modal type theory: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Hegel%27s+%22Logic%22+as+Modal....

That Einstien anecdote sounds more like ADHD. Despite the general impression being that it causes lack of focus, its sometimes better thought of as an inability to choose what to focus on. Getting absorbed into something they are passionateky interested in is sometimes described as a positive aspect of ADHD.

I think the fragmented chaos of the JS ecosystem arises as much from the structure of the language as it does the dismal standard library.

That said, I don't buy that language vendors skimp on their standard library due to some marginal cost issue. Quite the opposite, commercial PLs like Go, Kotlin, Swift and the .NET CLI family come with extensive and often surprisingly well-considered standard libraries, and even open-source projects do better than JS (the standout being probably Elixir since it inherits Erlang/OTP). The idea that JS's ecosystem is the template for future languages seems unsound, which is thankfully a relief since it would also be so disheartening.

One cool advantage this format has that is not mentioned anywhere is its potential for localization.

For the life of me, I cannot discern any performance difference between the two. One thing I can discern is that the screen on the newer one has a big yellowish blob all around the edges of it, its left command key works half the time and it crashes constantly.

Hmm I think it would be nice to reserve US for when you have multiple entries in a single column.

Like if the column was phone numbers and occasionally there's more than one, that sort of thing. Thinking of each cell as a "record" and allowing it to have more than one "unit" makes sense to me.

But anything would be better than ever having to whip up a script to fix a CSV with comma-separated dollar values in it, ever again.
Native support for complex types like URLs and UUIDs is a mistake. It just makes it more complicated and harder to interoperate with other formats like JSON. Look at all the archaic types ASN.1 supports.
Often you can get pretty good results from just knowing that cache misses are expensive and working from that point: Store together what is accessed together, use linear arrays to help prefetcher, prefetch manually if really needed (it usually isn't and the prefetch instruction isn't free), if your data is accessed effectively randomly try packing used parts into smaller amount of cache lines, etc...

The latency numbers are still useful for making back of the envelope calculations about how much it is possible to gain and whether it's worth the trouble.

The idea of respiratory viruses not being airborne sounds silly. What's the viral charge supposed to do, not jump into droplets smaller than certain size?

Of course they are present in the smallest droplets! They are present in the mucous secretions of the infected individual and they will get expelled through the big and the small droplets.

The distinction shouldn't be a qualitative one, airborne vs not airborne. It's a quantitative one, sufficiently infectious viruses may pose a risk at much smaller doses, the kind that you may be exposed by the smallest droplets expelled that simply stay afloat.

It's also worth noting that human immune response is a complicated beast, what may not be infectious for an average healthy individual may put down someone with a weakened immune response. So even supposedly "not airborne" viruses that are very unlikely to infect the average healthy individual at very small doses may pose an "airborne" risk for individuals with a weakened immune response.

There are more factors in all of this, atmospheric conditions may play a role. For example, cold temperatures may be more suitable for the virus to remain infectious outside of a host, thus increasing the likelihood of "airborne" propagation.

TL;DR: The distinction between airborne and not airborne viruses is an artificial one. That only makes sense statistically for an average individual at certain atmospheric conditions for a concrete strain of the virus. But as any real-world statistical distribution there are tails and you will find "airborne" qualities for pretty much any respiratory virus in those tails.

I'm not the OP, but to me the world "corruption" is a blanket term used to refer to the apparent or actual distortion of a system for personal gain.

Thus corruption can be found on any system, no matter the scale, and regardless of the shape and form of the gain that may be attained.

This definition implies that hypothetical cases such as a college professor using his right to park free of charge on campus to store his car collection, or a secretary using the company's printer to print out fliers, might surprise people who believe that corruption is the fruit of sinister morally and ethically empty sociopaths who are super wealthy and very powerful.
