I think its more just an accident of history - lisp became popular, prolog faded. Sometimes some technologies just happen to fade out due to chance.

I have heard, that people who have never programmed before often have an easier time learning prolog than people who have, so I think there's an element of forgetting what you already know. When I had to learn it for school, there was this book of small puzzles (Sort of like the little lisper but for prolog) that was really helpful, but I can't remember the name of it.
Just one thing I would like to point out. Many of the suggestions I've seen here are about interesting books. These may give you insight into part of a profession, but I think we need to remember that these jobs also have boring parts or that the protagonist is exceptional. After all, most people won't read a book about an unremarkable person nor would someone write a book that includes all the boring bits. For example, most police/investigative work involves reading through papers, waiting, minor offenses, and other boring stuff that isn't sufficiently portrayed in media.

As much as I'm a fan of Emacs, I don't think a .emacs file had much to do with that startup's success. He just wanted to see the UX and features that were possible for a particular purpose, for ideas and competitive analysis. But I did opensource a minority of the bits. :) https://www.neilvandyke.org/emacs/

It's fairly simple: Find people you would like to connect to, find their email address, send a request.

It helps if you have a "weak ties" connection to them, even if you don't really know them: you may be connected via someone else (in which case, asking for an introduction will almost certainly work), you may both be alumni of an org or institution, you may both have attended the same event (this works in a sort of 'missed connections' fashion), and so on.

One somewhat counterintuitive tip: you don't need to connect to a lot of hyper-connected folks, probably just one or two that are actually in your industry. Intros through indiscriminate folks like that tend to be disregarded unless there is a highly targeted ask simply because most of the folks they are connected to don't actually have an existing relationship or particular affinity with them. Similarly, so called "LinkedIn Open Networkers" that accept all incoming connection requests are also something of a red flag, unless you are actually in an industry like recruiting, marketing, or PR, where a 'reach' numbers game is a viable strategy.

Once your network starts growing, you'll start to get more incoming requests from folks trying to do the same thing you are. Don't accept the ones that don't make any sense (eg. If you are a medical software dev in the Midwest, feel free to decline that random connection request from an accountant in Azerbaijan), or you'll start to get a lot more of those (because folks who connect to lots of random folks tend to be mostly connected to others who do the exact same thing).

Absolutely reject and report requests that are outright spam. If you aren't sure, you can reply to ask what led them to try and connect with you before you make the decision to accept ignore or reject the request (saying "Hi, thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry, but I have a terrible memory, and I don't recognize your name or profile image. Did we meet at an event last year?" will work without being insulting).

It all boils down to this: if you want to have a large but high quality/relevance network, you need to be prolific but not indiscriminate in making connection requests.
I don’t think it is important to think of any of that on early stages.

All of those are, to me, the same type of distraction as deciding the color of the Maserati you will buy once you get rich with your startup. More introspective for sure, but still a distraction.

I feel that I am perfectly fine making this decisions when the time arrives. Not only that, but it is totally unreal to expect that my answer to those questions now when my startup is generating almost no revenue will have any influence on the real action that I will do when there is a ton of money on the table and the stakes actually matter.

These seem to be real questions for late stage founders.
I learned touch typing from out head football coach/athletic director (my school required you taught one class as a fte). Giant man. Basically said "don't be like me kids" and comically fumbled through 20wpm. For some bro kids back in the 90s having someone like that mock your typing was very effective. (He was nice to non jocks).

College football coach cemented it a bit more saying he had to pay someone to type his master's project in for him. By that time I had started coding classes and that's what really upped my wpm.

I think not being able to type is one of the more ironic reverse sexisms currently. Many schools didn't allow boys to take typing or home ec, nor girls to take shop. Now you see granddad's struggle to communicate (my uncle doesn't even have a phone my aunt does), and the grandmother's being quite fluent.

Also it is representation of approximator itself and data compression.
For cubic splines to approximate some NN you likely would need enormous number of intervals covering input space.
The talk about gaming in Emacs is particularly interesting to me, because I think there are possibilities here that haven't been adequately explored. With XELB, the X client library used by EXWM, it's possible for Emacs to quickly draw arbitrary geometry at screen resolution without a C or dynamic library extension. Some testing I did when I fooled around with it showed that it would be fast enough to use as a simple 2D game engine.
Does it actually work? It seems to crash and freeze my machine for 15 seconds at every startup. It also loves going full screen on my 4K monitor. Spews out 404 errors half the time when I try to log in. Freaking 404 errors! That shouldn't even be a thing.

Google let's you link to a page without transmitting PageRank. There's no notion of transmitting negative rank because of course that would be horribly abused by competitors trying to sink each others sites.

I think the web is pretty good as a decentralised systems for ideas. A lot of basic stuff isn't exploited though. For instance a simple way to set up networks of caching proxies and point browsers towards them, so sites can survive ddos attacks and be fully anonymised would be good. CDNs like cloudflare provide that today but tools for smaller scale equivalents would be great.

What are the leading theories for why this seems to be the case? Less nodes to capture and direct decisions?

You assume that government is good and prohibited uses are bad.

But your gov banned wikileaks bank accounts in the past and that is the perfect example of the case when the gov is definitely is a malicious actor (while their behaviour perfectly rational from their side of things).

Govs do war crimes, mass espionage and human rights violations. That should be addressed as well.

> The most successful colonizer has been Google. A recent report indicates that Google’s G-Suite for Education is being used by half the teachers and students in the U.S.

Are you fucking kidding me?

The most successful "colonizer" has always been Microsoft! In most schools around the world the PCs are running Windows exclusively and you are taught how to use Microsoft Office tools.

The influence and vendor lock-in Microsoft have had in the education sphere during the last 2-3 decades is much bigger than whatever Google is doing now.

This all began with the DEW line. I worked at the lab years ago, and I believe it was Edwin L. Key as a guest of William W Ward that gave a very long and rather entertaining Friday morning lecture on the topic for us. Aside from the radar technology and logistics problems, there were three areas of computing innovation that came out of it. First, signal processing, which created demand for increasingly complicated circuits from Bell Labs. Second, the user interface to the data, which included both hacking large-format oscilloscopes into displays, and converting radar signals into sound. Third, the communications systems linking remote stations thousands of miles away. This was critical to be reliable during wireless jamming or wire cuts, so this was the front line of coding theory, including Fano and then Solomon at LL, leading to digital switching systems like Arpanet. My first job there was to implement Solomon’s work for a space communications system, so I’m a little more familiar with that line of work at the lab.

I’m running heavily on memory here, but there is more information on this here: https://archive.ll.mit.edu/publications/journal/pdf/vol12_no...

Excel already has the ability to write custom functions in Javascript (and VBA), this is the ability to write them in the formula language rather than JavaScript.

(So no, Google Sheets does not support this)

The latest improvements in Excel really do seem to be re-widening the gap between Google Sheets and Excel (Dynamic array formulas, Let, Custom data types, powerquery improvements...)
Well at least Slack doesn't even offer such stupid policies, so I prefer Slack. I began the deprecation process of SMS around 1999 with the first Blackberry which supported this awesome new thing called e-mail. E-mail is this FANTASTIC new thing that offers more than 140 characters, allows larger attachments. It works just like SMS, except you can receive them even if you change your SIM card while travelling! Your inbox moves with you from provider to provider! How COOL is that!

Seriously, nobody should ever require SMS in 2020. Kill that nonsense.
"Customizing" is something everyone loves to do in a lot of aspects of our lives. Programming is for those weirdos in IT. Building stacks in HyperCard wasn't programming either it was just writing interactive presentations.

I put retired in my profile as well, but didn't come up with a snappy title like space Marshall (I'll work on that.) My actual complaint is hat I expected to get sent stuff about other interesting things retirees were doing. I mean, a lot of people in the tech field retire relatively young with a lot of money and they just don't sit home watching wheel of fortune. LinkedIn is really missing the boat IMHO. I'm happy looking elsewhere, but it would be cool if LinkedIn did a smooth transitions for retirees. I wrote to the CEO about but got no response, which only heightened my feeling of being a ghost on LinkedIn LOL
Thanks. Around the time when I first figured out the algorithm, Betfair independently approached me about possibly working with them, and then banned me when I mentioned the algorithm. I’m not really sure whether it was the algorithm, or whether they just ban anyone who applies for a job. They wouldn’t give me any information.

I published this code while still thinking I was banned, and later found out that I wasn’t in fact banned anymore.

I’m currently looking for a job, and figure that I’ll get more money mentioning this as a project than I will make from creating an automated system. I’m still giving it a shot. As I said, I am quite sure that anyone making money has this algorithm as well. In that case, you’re competing on latency.

I am not completely sure though, as I cannot see all trades as they happen and compare them with my odds. I can only see a subset.

I will never know what the requirements of getting banned are. Maybe the API access for Hi Lo is just a front, and it’s just Betfair laying bets. I don’t see any incentive for them to allow others to lay a game for which exact odds can be computed.

Thanks for the tip on the link. There are actually two versions: standard and turbo. I will update.

You might just be on the money.

Having come from a similar background, where the childhood abuse was real and looking back on my life I realize how much of my stress to succeed and achieve was really an attempt to appease/show up my parents. Addiction to work and "bad" habits was all a part of the response to that childhood abuse.

Like I wrote in one of my tweets [1], Gabor Mate's work has helped me to see and work towards reworking my relationship to stress.

It's unfortunate that Gabor Mate's work isn't part of our conversion around addiction, stress, crime and suicide.

As a frequent user of Excel, I very much welcome this. Being able to build a function library beyond User Defined (UDF, VBA functions that can be called from a formula) and a Personal.xlsb file (VBA that's available in any open Excel file)

One common use case this helps takes the general form "If A2+B2 > 10,then A2+B2, else 10". "A2+B2" needs to be updated, it has to be updated twice. Alternately, you could have a "helper column" C2=A2+B2, but this adds clutter to the whole spreadsheet.

I have a number of UDF's which lend themselves well to this, such as a triangular distribution calculator. Execution through Lambda should allow the undo stack to continue working (normally ditched by executing VBA) and hopefully give a performance boost.
Is busy-waiting with a delay really the right solution here? Wouldn't it be simpler to just register for the event and sleep until it's delivered?

I've been using forwardemail.net for years. When I started the project was a few scripts on github and it's grown into a fully-fledged (excellent) product. If you're in the market for this I highly recommend you check them out. You can get pretty far with the free plan, and the paid is priced just right ($3/month right now) so that's what I do to support them.

I have also used ImprovMX and had good success there, although I ended up leaving because the free plan was too limiting and the paid plan was too much ($10/month last I checked).

Both services have great UX. It's hard to go wrong. I'll probably try out Mailway as well just for comparison.

Note I'm not affiliated in any way with forwardemail or ImprovMX, just a happy user.
So... they resort to intercepting traffic rather than outright blocking them. Interesting. That would mean they want people to speak and they can take them out? In India administered Kashmir, they just banned the entire intenet for months, then whitelisted websites one by one. Prevention is better than cure? Fuck these governenments.

The number one reason that I use Google Sheets instead of Excel is the availability of the REGEXMATCH and REGEXEXTRACT functions. No human should forced to use a ridiculous combination of LEFT, RIGHT, and MID to extract things from a string. I just can’t fathom why Excel hasn’t yet introduced regular expressions.
I'd be curious if re-framing a trained neural network model as a SVM gives you insight into it's support vectors and maybe a little understanding on why the NN works the way it does?
I see three problems with your dismissal of the NAS finding:

* Whatever skepticism you have toward NAS, I have a thousand times more skepticism toward a tweet thread from Sharon Weinberger.

* Peer review is a BS credibility threshold that validates tons of garbage research in a way that financially benefits publications. The peer review process is not itself a form of research. The paper should be judged on its own merits and the credibility of its authors.

* Contrary to what Weinberger said, a 64-page NAS document is available at https://www.nap.edu/read/25889/chapter/1
EMACS was developed on ITS, a multi user timesharing operating system with no security. I developed a complex init file (in TECO of course) which was a compiled module in my home directory.

One day I changed something in an incompatible way and received complaints. Unbeknownst to me there was a community of people who linked (symlinked) directly to my init file and whose workflows were disrupted by my change.
