Some projects use issues to represent maintainer work items.

So if no maintainer plans to work on something, why not close the issue? It can be reopened anytime.

Locking is a whole different thing because it prevents people from commenting. In closed issues, commenting is allowed though.

I think closing an issue with a “thanks, we don’t plan to work on this anytime soon but PRs are welcome” shouldn’t be frowned upon.

No, your "mitten" is getting blown apart, not getting progressively stronger. Your intuition is not tuned for space.

"the actual truth"
> Is it correct to state that in 5 to 10 years we’ll see Julia as the default for new Data Science projects?

No, it is not correct to make this claim. Nothing is going to de-throne Python in the next five years and it is EXTREMELY unlikely that anything will de-throne it in 10 years. Any language that replaces Python in these tasks will need to be significantly better, and Julia just isn't that. Incremental improvement in a few areas that reek of premature optimization is not going to be a compelling argument for the masses.

The language that de-thrones Python has not been invented yet, and it will probably need some sort of hardware-coupled advance to have a chance (e.g. if the next big leap in mass-produced hardware were to drop 4K cores into a cheap SoC then a simple scripting language that handled internal data and execution concurrency might take over.) Julia is nice, but if anything you are probably going to see more migration from MATLAB and similar older dead-ends to Python over the next five years than you are to see migration from Python to Julia.
I think the article casts to many people ("All managers") as unreasonable. That seems significantly wrong to me, and feels like it would be counter productive.

> Application 2: Finding the Missing Number

> You are given an array A of n - 1 integers which are in the range between 1 and n. All numbers appear exactly once, except one number, which is missing. Find this missing number.

We can "find the missing number", but we don't know where to "put" the missing number. If you want to put the "missing number" back into the sequence, you still need to know the location to put it into from some other mechanism. (Ex: hard drive #5 failed, so you know to put the number into slot#5).

Seems simple enough? They only have stuff they use, and they use them until it becomes unusable. I'm frankly much the same, I don't buy new things often and I repair them (or have them repaired, for clothes and shoes) until they start do disintegrate.
I absolutely loathe stale bots. It essentially assumes a problem is irrelevant because nobody has fixed it yet.

Sometimes I bother to ask the maintainer to put issues I report on hold. Mostly I just assume if you have a stale bot that you are going to wontfix all my issues and I should find a different project.

>I wonder what the sequence of events was where nobody said anything about putting shackles on kids that aren't prisoners or being arrested.

I also wonder, because the default position is to not shackle kids obviously. Social workers really are good people who try their best in real hard situations (and dealing with 'at-risk' foster kids is one of the hardest areas of social work). It may be the case that this bad solution came out of solving something, like kids running away, or physically hurting themselves, other kids, or social workers - during transport. It's not totally fair to impugn motives, as others in this thread are, without at least understanding what it is they were trying to solve.

Again .. I'm not justifying or excusing this policy, but I do want to understand why this policy exists in context with realities on the ground encountered by good people doing really hard social work.

Public ISSUES are important, because they measure the need for a feature. An important issue will generate more noise, and that indicates a lot of people struggle with it. "Me too" is a valuable metric, as is additional reproduction information from other users. User requirements are not final, so the answers to it should not be.

On the other hand, stale TICKETS make it difficult to get an overview of the project and its priorities. Actually important issues can get lost in a sea of wishes. You can't have the team vote on the priority of 400+ tickets with no description, no justification, and no owner. Those tickets just sink to the bottom of the backlog, never to be seen again. On occasion, they're actually important, but hard to notice amid the 400 other tickets.

I always liked Kanban, because the to-do column is sorted. You can only sort a list by going through every item.

When I was the agile whip, I always pushed for separate "triage" and "to do" tickets. The former is a bucket of wishes and stream-of-consciousness tickets. The latter is for tasks we understand and commit to. Our backlog refinement sessions cleaned the triage column, then sorted the to do column.
The differential equations are themselves in many cases an abstraction over statistical numbers of discrete events. Arguably, in those cases, they are the wrong abstraction - a thesis which can only be proven by demonstrating the superiority of a different abstraction. Has one been demonstrated? Not yet, for most purposes. Is this a promising avenue of study? IMO, yes.
Schizoids are lonely and they choose (quite paradoxically) to be alone because of it. The internal fantasy of the schizoid exists solely to fill the hole left by their lack of emotionally intimate relationships.

That is, the steps of the schizoid personality is:

1. Loneliness

2. Escapism in the form of internal fantasy

3. Choosing to be alone, because the internal fantasy is judged to be enough
Some people are attributing the Georgia senate race outcomes to the fact that many republicans didn't bother to vote in the special election (because they heard it was "rigged").

I think the short summary is: Dijkstra is best when you don't know or care where you're going (there's no heuristic to tell you how close you are, or you want to know distances to all locations), but if that heuristic exists, A* is better.

I once used A* in a coding challenge for a job. Create a grid (in React) where you can place obstacles, wormholes, a start and a finish, and find the shortest route through it. The wormholes normally break A*, but I'd figured out a way to take them into account. Was a fun challenge. (Didn't take the job.)

I don't want to minimize those abuses, but we have to be cognizant of the destructive effects of hyper-focusing on negative impacts on a small minority.

> I would sincerely like to get a breakdown of all the factors that contribute to the Japanese living to such an old age, rather than the usual "this one weird trick" bullshit that Economist and others try to swindle on the Western readership.

Why is it that the term “western" is so often at some point introduce with some implication some culturally cohesive unit called “the west” exists any time Japan in particular is mentioned somewhere?

I find that very often when this happens, and when attributes of this supposed “western” culture are listed, it seems to mostly mean “The Anglo-Saxon world”, not so much “the west”.

The last time it happened on H.N. where someone complained about a sensationalist “western" article about Japan, it was pointed out that it was posted in a Japanese newspaper, and a translation from an original Japanese article, however sensationalist it might be.

Other than that, yes, there is probably not a single simple rule that governs it but a myriad of factors that contribute with many no doubt also working in the opposite direction, such as Japan's famously stressful workplace life and the high suicide rate of office workers.
Eh, who says it needs to be hard? As long as it solves a problem, it seems useful to me. And there may be people out there who aren't super familiar with Ruby or forward proxies who can learn a lot from this implementation.

Is it this or would these kids simply have been sent off to child labor sweatshops, coal mines or the streets in the past? Early death would mean they'd never see prison. Same with many other social issues that in the past would have simply been solved by letting someone die.
I did youth work with a family who fostered then adopted 4 half brothers from the same mother. She was a heroin addict. Every other year she'd have a baby, malnourished, underweight, in withdrawal, neglected taken away. 4 kids: 2 had adhd, 1 was developmentally delayed, 1 autistic, 1 had ADD, plus all were smaller and weaker than their comparative age peers.

After taking the forth one, they were too over stretched to take anymore. Lovely kids. It was amazing watching them socialise gradually. So sad what happened to them really.

The nurses in US schools (I've been out for 15 years, things may be different now) are mostly there if a kid gets a bloody nose, deals with a kid's allergic reaction, verify a sudden extreme temperature to dismiss the kid or generally stabilize before a paramedic arrives if it's serious. In high school, one kid cracked his head open on the gym floor from slipping while playing indoor soccer. Pretty much all she could do was slow the bleeding. Plus, school nurse isnt a cert nurse's first pick in jobs. Which I dont blame them. Who would want to deal with kids all day trying to fake sickness so they can skip class? A simple cough and low fever wouldn't get you out of class. You needed head lice, vomit 3 times within 1 hour, vomit blood, or a 101f fever to get out of class back in my day... or a cracked skull.

Giving frontend clients the keys to the castle to send text messages and make calls on your app's behalf seems like a bad time waiting to happen. How are you thinking about the security aspect? I see the word "Security focused", but that doesn't really tell me anything.

Kinda the same deal on Stripe - if someone can guess / find out customer identifiers, which is a lot more likely when you're shipping them to frontends to use with your library (XSS...), they can create charges on your behalf? That's definitely a big risk fanout
I disagree heavily because closed issues are less visible. An unresolved issue may be notable for other users to see and communicate about, a closed issue should be "done with". Either it is invalid or it is addressed or fixed.

I'd argue developers who use the issues list as a personal todo list are using issues incorrectly.
No this is not the same, because on one hand there is a governemnent that is the emanation of the people's will, and on the other there is a private company with its own rules.

The current problem is that we don’t have a reliable, scalable way to merge in features of knowledge engines that have ontological relationships of entities with generative engines that are good for making more natural looking or sounding qualitative output. There’s certainly research going on to join them together but it’s just not getting the kind of press releases as the generative and pattern recognition stuff that’s much easier comparatively. The whole “General AI Complete” class of problems seems to be ones that are trying to combine multiple areas of more specific AI systems but that’s exactly where more practical problems for the average person arise.
From the title, I was hoping for more "tangible" reasons. Most of the reasons given have to do with mitigating potential problems. Bad privacy, single point of failure, closed, censorship are purely theoretical problems for most people. Moreover, these are points that are harped over everytime mastodon is mentioned. It's not that they are not important, it's just not going to convince many people. I'm really curious: what are some user experience reasons to join?
I am not saying it has to be hard. Probably shouldn't have to be. I am saying that why is it noteworthy when it's just the exact glue code you'd expect? There is like 10k LOC that this is using underneath so the 100 LOC is very misleading here.
I have been using Julia only for a few months, but I’ve been surprised in the speed up that’s possible vs python code using pandas. Depending on the size of your datasets the JIT might slow you down a little, but the speed of Julia outweighs this. Liberally using functions really allows Julia to shine.

One thing that I’ve recently seen which concerns me long term is the creation of various competing macro syntaxes for reducing the wordiness of Julia. There are many competing implementations of pipes and other syntax sugars. These macros definitely make things easier, but as you use them the code becomes more difficult for another to understand and since there is at this time, no one set of macros to use, you’ll have to know each of the competing sets to make since of examples.
I suspect we’re starting to hit diminishing returns when it comes to lighting. Probably better if we start pouring research into how to better electrify our heating and transit needs (AC is already electrified and very efficient).

- doctors are paid higher in the US than in another countries

- billing staff overhead because of the insane insurance system

- highly paid hospital administration

- lots of middlemen that stay invisible because there is no price transparency

- shiny new buildings that are built by friends of the hospital administration
This is the question exactly.

The difficulty is that there is a downward spiral: if fewer talented people enter the public service or politics because it is becoming relatively unattractive, the average performance of that class goes down. That makes it harder to justify any increase in salary or other benefits, reinforcing the dynamic.

please take a look at this,

"The major empirical finding from this research is that medication use by Medicare beneficiaries is significantly negatively associated with hospital spending. Moreover, the cross-effect is quite large: each additional prescription drug fill reduces hospital costs by slightly more than $100 or about 5 percent measured at the mean level of Medicare payments in 2000 for inpatient hospital services for study subjects.

I haven't heard of queryverse, thank you for that. This also brings up a good point I wanted to highlight.

I get that Julia is a young language with a growing ecosystem. But the lack of "one obvious way to do something" may scare new users away.

"I need pipes to help me wrangle data more efficiently do I use Base Julia, Chain.jl, Pipe.jl, or Lazy.jl?"
