In my experience there are basically no people with measured low IQ making good posts on forums. If there were we would see way more people speaking up about it. Throughout my entire life reading posts on many different forums I only saw a single person admit he had below 100 IQ, and he wasn't a good poster.

If IQ didn't matter we would see tons of people say things like "I have an IQ of 85 and still am a software engineer at Google, IQ is total bullshit!", but we don't.
I don't find the argument against version control very convincing. They basically say that not forgetting git committing and pushing is too difficult. I don't think that it is actually that bad. They also claim that they do not need version control, because they never go back. Well, the thing is that you don't need to go back until you do. And when you do and you don't have version control, you can start redoing things from the scratch. Overall, they really did no convince me that putting all your code, data, figures etc. on DropBox is really that great of a deal. I think that they should instead hire a guy to create proper git-based processes for them and then train their people to use them.
Mathematician too. I would say we still don't really know what a set is. ZFC "explains" sets in terms of... axioms and models of them which are also just sets? Should I worry about this recursion? Who knows, we just pretend things work.
My comment may have been vaguely worded. I meant that I hadn't met someone who held both of those views simultaneously.
Modern Fortran is a bliss, very high level comparable to MATLAB and Python, yet lightening fast, only a professional careful C programmer could get to its speed. Meanwhile, the only high-level programming language that provides a very simple native builtin syntax for one the most difficult types of distributed parallel computing. If you begin to learn Fortran, start from Fortran 2008 and beyond. Most major compilers support all of Fortran 2008 and and most of Fortran 2018, including Intel Fortran, NAG, GNU, Fujitsu, Cray, PGI, ...
"> Because in the real world, the therapy method I have mostly seen, was and is keeping people calm with pills.

I consider that offensive"

You might also consider, that other people might have a "skin in the game", with close, intimate relationship to mental illnes patients, too. Some of them tragic.

And my experience simply is not, that in general psychotherapy evolved a lot. I see rather a trend to favor pills to keep people calm as this is cheaper, than deep psychoanalytical therapy.

So consider that offensive, if you must, downvote, if that makes you feel better, but it does not change my personal experience.

The article goes off the rails right at the start when he compares having multiple career tracks to having a diversified portfolio. Diversified portfolios tend to have better risk-adjusted returns because their returns of individual investments are (supposed to be) relatively uncorrelated. Financial risk managers are always on the lookout for previously unidentified correlations between investments in their portfolio since that might increase the risks beyond what what has been agreed upon as acceptable with the clients.

The payoffs of multiple career tracks on the other hand are almost never uncorrelated. First off there is the obvious case that it is the same person doing all of them. This makes all labor-intensive careers very correlated in matters when a single event touches their health. Also, investment success of one stock usually means nothing (neither negtive nor positive) for other stocks in your portfolio. In most careers though, the payout of many careers is heavily tilted towards the higher end of the achievement spectrum and that may not be attainable without a full-time investment into that career. I don't think anyone would argue that an athlete dividing their time between three or more sports has a really good chance of becoming a professional in any of those, for example, because to be a professional athlete you need to be at the very top of the game and can't afford to spend 66% of your available practice time on other things. The correlation of these activities is actually very far from zero and therefore diversifying careers does not make sense from the start from an risk-management perspective. The rest of the article builds on that flawed premise.

Yet if everyone made supporting their family through the generations their primary goal it would lead to incredible inequality as the advantages of those born to well off family allowed them to make their kids even better off and so on, while the less well off could never catch up. We know from experience that excessive levels of inequality leads to destruction of society.
It’s a boring language and I avoid it where I can help it. Its facilities for abstraction are too limited, everything is a loop, if err return, and so on. It’s just not a language I’d use by choice for anything.
It really isn't clear what kind of distinction you're trying to make.

You replied to a post about companies trying to appease the CCP trying to imply that it's a problem with chinese companies trying to appease the CCP

You've just been told western companies are also trying to appease the CCP.

How is that not comparable? Somehow not being China-based gives you a pass to play the appeasement game?
One difference is that Cloudflare doesn't directly do business with you if you visit a website that's using cloudflare, whereas signing up for GitLab (or cloudflare, for that matters) means entering in a legal agreement.

I'd have to look at the exact text of the sanctions to see if providing service like cloudflare is a violation, but it's not really the same thing as having an account.
It doesn’t need to. Just put it in as default on iOS.
What, exactly, does "sending your IP all around the internet" even mean?
> They’re not comparable because the western companies are not doing this due to the threat of retaliation from their own government.

Iranians are banned from using some western apps by threat of the American government.
Very interesting to know roughly how much energy one can create doing this! Being part of the current trend of people riding at home on Wahoo Kickrs/Zwift and other turbo trainers, I do feel like that energy could be put to use somehow! Even if it were just to power a fan to cool myself down whilst riding, it would be nice to think the energy was being put to good use!

I've read this type of comment a few times on HN and always find it interesting. I've been using Bing for probably 10 years on desktop and Google on my phone (because Android). Generally I've found that I prefer the Bing results to the Google results more often than Bing. I've honestly had the opposite experience (frustrated with Google results, so I switch to Bing) so I wonder how much of it is based on subconscious assumptions about which we assume is better?

I'm sure there's some site the obfuscates results and could probably answer the question a little more scientifically.

If the printers are accessible from the internet, it should not be hard to demonstrate there being a problem.

For example, once a day, make them all print a page saying "Your printers are accessible over the public internet, which puts patient information at risk."

It's still very likely they'll try to shoot the messenger though.
I'd imagine one day this will be determined by whether you can copy the resulting 'brain' to another system

China didn't drop the nuke on harmless civilians, the US did.

China didn't displace tens of millions of people in the middle east from their homes, the US did.

China didn't destabilize dozen of countries (via assassinations, coups, and other unsavory ways to initiate regime change), the US did.

There's one threat to world peace, and that's the US. It's ridiculous that people think that somehow China could be worse than that.

Right, it's not the same level. Kazaa and Limewire faced theoretical liabilities in the billions.

That doesn't mean that the programmers of youtube-dl, or those who choose to engage in spreading the program, can't be held liable for much lower levels of damages which are still financially ruinous for an individual even if they're small on an absolute basis.

Bees form a mass in winter and work their wing muscles to keep themselves warm, rotating bees between inside and surface so none gets too cold for too long. So they did have a base behavior from which the surround-and-cook behavior could evolve.

When I first heard about the hornet defense I wondered how on Earth the bees could've come up with that. But if they already clumped up for warmth it's a lot more scrutable.
Yes, I'm not defending the original guy, I'm just stating what I believe his argument to be.

He's basically saying he doesn't believe the die is fair/unweighted.

So stating the odds of a fair die is kind of immaterial to his point. We need to demonstrate to the guy that the die is fair.

Someone else posted a link (I think) of 538 going over on how accurate they were. Whether their odds bore out. Here it is: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/checking-our-work/

Basically what they did was bucket every prediction by odds. If they predicted 70/30, it went in that bucket. And they're "right" at about the rate of their predictions. In other words, for every 70/30 prediction they made, the people/teams with 70% chance to win, won about 70% of the time.

That shows that 538 in this case is pretty decent at calculating odds.
Seriously. At one point I curated a similar dataset to OP, but because it was largely worked to which I didn’t own the copyright, there’s no way in hell I was going to distribute it to others (because that would be doing what that internet library got sued for). I can’t freely distribute the last 20 years of TV and movies just because it’s useful for academic research.

Hell, unless you paid for it, you shouldn’t even have the collection to train on, whether you distribute it or not.

Effectively, everyone’s focusing on whether your story(/model) is sufficiently transformative from Die Hard to be fair use for you to distribute it, without addressing the complaint that you snuck into the theater too, and held the door for others to follow me in.
Could you elaborate on why you think it doesn't scale well for teams?
"You seem to be suggesting that having more conversations about mental health is to blame for an increase of people committing suicide."

I do not see him suggesting that. He was suggesting that "labeling" more and more people as mentally ill might cause more bad, than good.

Allmost everybody has psychological problems. And yes, it is very important to be able to speak about it openly. But it is a different thing to have "mental problems", or to have a "medical mental condition".

Wayland is both a code base and a protocol unless you are being unreasonably technical about terminology (distinguishing between wayland and libwayland) to the point where you are deceiving casual readers.

It is for all practical intents not possible to implement a useful wayland compositor without relying on libwayland, because mesa links to libwayland and expects to be passed pointers to data structures defined in libwayland.

Like I told the other guy, I'm not defending his position, I'm stating it in different terms. And stating why pointing out the odds of a fair die isn't a good counter argument.

Grandposter doesn't believe the die is fair. That's a different argument than the guy I responded to made.

> I mean technically the election is a 100% accurate poll. You get data from every voter.

Actually an election is literally a poll in the sense of a sample, you are counting people at "polling stations" in order to gauge the public mood about who should be president.

When you see it that way, Nate Silver is predicting a sample of an unknown distribution, the "true" distribution of people's preferences.

The fact that you can only make one officially binding sample ("the voters") is a practicality, as is the fact that there's an electoral college that means votes have different values. The fact that turnout matters is another issue, a statistician might call it a sampling problem.
Yes, it is still heavily used in the world of numerical computing. Many of the world's largest numerical software have been written in Fortran and are still developed in Fortran, although Fortran is not alone anymore in the field and every language wants to claim the crown.

If you intend to do heavy numerical or scientific computations, then Fortran is definitely worth learning. It is a high-level language comparable to Python/MATLAB, yet with speed that can be 500 times faster than MATLAB/Python. Its math-oriented syntax is absolutely nice and has inspired many other languages, such as MATLAB, R, Julia, and packages such as Numpy and Scipy in Python and Eigen and ... in C++.

Whatever you pick up to start reading, keep in mind that you should only learn modern Fortran 2008 standard, 2018, and beyond. You should not waste your time on learning any standard older than Fortran 2003, in particular, F77 (which is more than 4 decades old now). Keep in mind that Fortran has the easiest learning curve of all compiled languages, in particular when compared to C/C++. If you already know MATLAB, then Fortran syntax and rules will look quite familiar to you. That's because MATLAB inherited a lot of vectorization and array syntax from its ancestor, Fortran. With regards to where to start learning Fortran:

Here is a good start to learn Fortran 90:

https://www.uv.es/dogarcar/man/IntrFortran90.pdf

This notebook contains almost 70%-80% of what you need to start productive programming in Fortran. For more advanced features such as Object-Oriented and Parallel programming with Fortran, the following is an excellent guide:

https://books.google.com/books/about/Modern_Fortran_Explaine...

If you are in grad school, you could likely get access to a free pdf copy of the book, just as I did myself in grad school. There is also a new 2018 edition of this book covering Modern Fortran 2018 standard: https://books.google.com/books/about/Modern_Fortran_Explaine...

There is also an amazing online Fortran-Jupyter binder by which you could test your serial as well as Coarray "parallel" Fortran codes on shared/distributed memory architectures in real-time: https://github.com/sourceryinstitute/jupyter-CAF-kernel

You can test it here: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/sourceryinstitute/jupyter-CAF-ker...

There are also lots of other online Fortran compilers for education and testing on the fly. Just search the terms on the web. Here is a good one I often use:

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/compile_fortran_online.php

The book "Modern Fortran Explained: Incorporating Fortran 2018" by Metcalf et al (or the older Fortran 2008 version of it published in 2011) is an excellent resource (although it is too comprehensive for an absolute beginner). Whatever book you pick up, make sure you learn the new features of Fortran, most importantly, 2008, and 2003 Fortran standards. These new standards as well as the newest Fortran 2018, contain extremely powerful and useful concepts (Coarray Fortran parallelization syntax, advanced (sub)modular programming, OOP) that are essential for modern scientific computing.
Gnome hasn't provided a good desktop experience since 2011. By the time they figure out how to stop sucking insofar as Wayland performance they will surely have discerned new ways to err.

There are other environments that have worked well for a decade and will work well for the next decade.
Yes, in that case the receiver and all other custodians in the party would need shared access to the same Gmail account, or many emails would be sent to the ever expanding list of custodians, leaving a nightmare of 1000+ email long chains of unsearchable information. It's not a feasible solution.
I also agree, and even if I did think that the modern stuff with the impossible to see borders and the buttons that you can't tell were up and down looked better (I don't), I'd still prefer smooth remote operation.

Alas. That isn't the way the world has went, and it's extremely expensive to be weird.
