As you can see in that definition, intent is irrelevant. Assuming good intent doesn’t change the fact it is regarded as an instance of discrimination. Might be unintentional, but it still is what is is.

You keep saying “imaginary”, but microagression is about what has been said, not relevant to dwell on what the person might have wanted to mean.

You keep coming back to this perceived paranoia: “as if people are secretly trying to hurt you”. This is not what this is about. This is people that got hurt, and no matter what others are trying, secretly or not, that hurt is better be documented.

It doesn’t mean that someone ought to be punished right away for each comment deemed offensive by anyone. It’s just that these occurrences might be relevant later on and if they’re not documented, it’s gone.

Documenting all offenses is a good idea for people who are at risk of finding themselves needing that later. And if you don’t think this happens frequently enough, you haven’t been paying attention.
I didn’t really read it as snark. It has historically been pretty shocking here to find a top comment so confidently wrong and just seemingly totally made up (farmers going bankrupt just like the Great Depression.. because food prices are going up?), and it’s fair to directly call it out. It wasn’t done in any particularly mean way as best I can tell.

I think it's important to note why the 75 citations isn't just 75 dummies who also haven't heard of integration.

If you're writing a diabetes paper and want to use integration for your analysis (even if you are fully aware of its background), you'll be forced to justify your approach and defend it's applicability to diabetes. Far easier to say 'as per Tai et al...' and take it as given.

It's usually not even that they are so much worse. It's just that the monetary value differences make up the difference. These people can live a much better life in Poland with a Denmark subsistence wage, then they can in Poland with the minimum wage. So they sacrifice some months of their lives living in worse conditions in order to make some money for back home, where they can use that money to improve the lot of their children.

Do you mean "trip" rather than trap? If not could you explain what this means?
Lots of truths there but also colored by someone who evidently has not been a fan of technologies before and seen how it works.

I am not as pessimistic as a Julia fan. Why? Because I have been where this guy is now ever since I was an Amiga user. I was like that with Python, Ruby, Go and a whole other languages.

And what I learned from that is that it takes time. Neither Python, Ruby or Go had success over night. Yet almost all these languages I homed in on in the past have seen what I would call success later.

I was certain Perl would go downhill when it was at its top. I kept argue with Perl fans that Python was a cleaner language that would see more success. Ditto with Ruby. That turned out to be quite accurate.

I said while D looked like a nice replacement for C++, it simply wasn't big enough improvement to go anywhere. That also seems to have been an accurate prediction.

Go on the other hand had a very obvious appeal from the get go. It did something important different and sufficiently better than before while keeping things simple.

I am confident about Julia, because I have not in 20 years since a language with so much potential and so many advantages. You just got to give it time. This reminds me of myself following solar and wind energy in the early 90s and deciding it was not going anywhere.

Ironically I see people like Michael Shellenberger having become a cynic about wind and solar now that it has actually achieved some measure of success. Why? Because it didn't happen fast enough. He poured all his enthusiasm and hope into this industry long before there was reasons to do so.

People have to be aware of the same about Julia. It is not taking over the world any time soon. There is a long road ahead. And I would not define success as getting to Python scale. But if Julia can get to a similar position as Go is today, then I would call that success.
> A US senior software engineer making that much would live in a major tech center and would probably work for a very good company, so a lot of people are excluded because of location and others just because of selection. It's hard to say, but I can't imagine more than 30-50% of US senior software engineer making that much.

Well, in Germany, a software engineer making that much simply does not exist..
This must be satire... someone remarked about the guy being darker than she thought. I am not sure why that's supposed to be a negative remark someone should be offended by?! I had people tell me something like that when I come back from a sunny vacation, and I actually take that as a compliment, bronze skin looks to me healthier than never-seen-sun-in-my-life skin :D (BTW I am darker than the person in question, and I get very dark after being exposed to a lot of sun)... They then make sure you know the guy prefers pronouns they/them, and dutifully follows on with awkward English sentences like "Cruz went on medical leave, and hoped to take the company up on its offer for a new position, they said. But Cruz was turned down from every role they applied for, so they were forced to quit."

Wow.

Unconvincing.

1. There's plenty of niches. I don't think anyone is pushing Julia as the new general purpose programming language.

2. Ecosystems and network effects are real, but if you conquer a niche, you can still win. R's doing fine.

3. Specialists seem to like Julia and are writing good stuff in it. I don't see why that attraction shouldn't bring more users in. Indeed, it's still rising in PYPL, as linked by another comment.
I was really on the author's side till I read these responses. Initially in my head it was just a case of misunderstanding or ignorance, but through her letters she has made clear that she thinks it is significant enough. This is borne out by her tone which is palpatably aggressive and contradictory at some points. She says she didn't publish this model for glory, but she also named it after herself. Also, no effort was made to connect it to already known elementary mathematics. And I don't understand why people would need a citation instead of just saying its calculated using the trapezoidal rule. The whole point about model vs formula is IMO pathetic, models are not just bunch of known formulas. They are supposed to give a new understanding of the system (also who brings up Marriam Webbster in a medical journal? Even in letters it sounds incredibly condescending).

Yes. There are multiple observers, they're cloned along with everything else.

> laws that give someone automatic month to month terms after the lease expires..

A bit off topic, but are US rental contracts for fixed periods? In Europe I'm used to a "valid until further notice" model, with possibility to break the lease with a given notice period (1-3 months) and a chance of yearly rent increases. Very much similar to employment contracts with notice periods and yearly raises.
The Lunch (2016)
Great post. I think line laser though is just a point source that spins, creating an illusion of a plane. So it only looks like a line but is actually a moving point. So if the mosquito travels its own length+the line thickness in a time that is less than the time between laser passes, it won't be touched by the laser.
It's also quite well-known to users of certain psychoactive drugs.

It is worth listening to the podcast that accompanied the TV show. One of the things they mention quite a bit is where they deliberately deviated from the truth for practical/dramatic/pacing reasons[†], had to pick a narrative path from conflicting records, or had to make bits up to fill gaps in the (publicly available) records, and one or two cases where they toned down rather than ramped up an issue for tonal or "no one would believe it was quite that way" reasons.

It is both an enlightening insight into the process of making a show like that, and gives useful context to start on your journey if you want to delve deeper into the real reality of the events.

[†] merging many people into a single character, exaggerating immediate effects, reordering/repurposing actual events (a helicopter did crash but not at that point), pretty much that entire courtroom scene in the final episode, ...
The best bet for Julia might be to be a Trojan horse in the Python ecosystem. By making the best of breed packages in specific domains it can become the first pick in the Python community rather than C/C++ based packages.

If Julia is the engine that drives all the critical parts in Python rather than C/C++, then it has a way to get the foot in the door. People will stop and ask: Why am I using Python if I could just use Julia directly?
It works fine for me, client v2.3.35, but the tunnel is in *.ngrok.io for me.

Maybe not buy food directly for personal consumption but buying commodities is a possibility that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy (like GameStop!). When all financial assets increase to all time highs and commodities don’t then speculators push them up to eliminate cross asset price disparities.
Julia is a language that looks very simple, but the more you use it, the more you realize how complex and unpredictable it is.

I think that Union types do more harm than good (why would you want a function to return Union of int and float instead of compile error? It totally slows down the program)

Array{Number} is totally different from Array{:<Number}, and shouldn’t be allowed, as it is inefficient.

1-based indexing was a mistake, and I have seen it emitting inefficient code in the PTX compiler.

But the worst and hardest part is the rule/heuristic for multiple dispatch: it’s so complex, that it isn’t even documented. It should probably throw more errors and be predictable instead of trying to be so smart.

From written record. We know for sure, since Old Egypt/bronze era, marriage was almost universal.

Heck, we even have tablets of workers that built the pyramid that were writing about how they think they made a mistake marrying their wife, as she is miserable and complains all the time, and suspicion of her cheating.

While I somewhat agree with the sentiment of your comment, one of the reasons I believe Hacker News is so civilized is because the arguments are always very rationalized. That is, it is easy to point out faulting logic.

Following up with your example: If someone simply states [y] then the context of where [y] came from is lost and the discussion turns into a person saying [x] and a person saying [y], which is a step too close to becoming Twitter.

While I agree it can sometimes be a bit tiresome to read and write, I say this significantly improves the overall quality of the conversations.
Also, I hope people realize that as a workplace becomes more diverse the probability increases that one person will be offended by another person's casual turn of phrase. For example, the phrase 'went south' which means that something went badly might be deeply offensive to someone from the South.

If you assume that the landlord prefers to do repairs/maintenance/improvement between tenants and that that's the most common reason to not let out a property, then not counting that time makes sense.

I'm not at all surprised if some landlords are over-leveraged, particularly not now. A lot of people have bled money in the past year.
> I very much believe that Dutch politicians are less corrupt than U.S.A. politicians in no small part due to the fundamental operations of the electoral system.

I believe corruption goes hand-in hand with two-party systems. This eventually results to partisan politics and loss of all accountability. The two-party system may be either de facto (e.g. USA) or emulated (e.g. Greece), but the result is still chronic corruption.

> In 1916, the Netherlands switched from a district-based system to a simple, proportional system. This change surely did not benefit the parties in power, but they did so anyway for the purpose of democracy, and probably because the voters wanted it.

Simple proportional systems all the way. The problem is that if you didn't do the switch early-on (like the Netherlands), then it's almost impossible to do later because of deeply vested interests. E.g. Greece attempted a switch to a simple proportional system in 2016, but the move was smeared with FUD articles by the mass-media. In the end, the current government restored the previous election system, which gives a ludicrous number of bonus parliament seats to the first party.

That aside, I'm reading Adam Grants "Think Again." He mentioned at least one study where appearing infallible can be a bad thing. That you can become less believable, less likeable and so on. There's more to influencing others than coming across as Mr / Ms Know-it-all. Showing too much confidence can work against you.
I'm also skeptical of TIOBE but the post is not based only on that... The author seems to have been very active with the language, and even drafted a book on the subject. It seems to me that he may have a good feel or intuition for the scene; while this is not very scientific, it is miles ahead of basing an analysis on TIOBE alone. I'm going to be lurking this thread for potential counter-arguments though.

Julia has advantages over Stata and SPSS as well.

The main thing holding it back is its ecosystem. R has better libraries and a much better IDE (RStudio), while Python is still the best option for machine/deep learning (and general programming).

However, Julia has much better performance. R is arguably easier for someone with little coding experience to learn, but Julia isn't that much more difficult, and it's much more intuitive to code in than Python.

Julia + RStudio + CRAN/BioConductor would take the cake.
the cause of the would-be war is that the two sides could not agree whether or not they are the same country. By calling it a "civil war" you just dismissed the whole point of it.

also ethnicity has nothing to do with sovereign, nor that it exists a single "China" ethnicity, for Taiwanese people (who themselves are not a single ethnicity) to be lumped into. China just like all countries in the world, has many ethnicities.

I don't know why they went for SQL Server, .NET has had good support for other databases even back to 2009. I imagine that was a huge amount of their licensing cost.

With .NET Core running so well on Linux now they would have no Windows Server licenses to worry about too. The first production version of .NET core was released in 2016.

Even back in 2009 it was possible to run web apps on mono on linux too, I know a lot of shops around that era that used windows for more complex parts of the app but then used mono for 'simple' high volume parts to save $$$ on windows licensing.

There is a self-selecting process where people promote other people who make those small decisions in a particular way.

You are using something like the same logic as the algorithm itself and describing how a newcomer to the game would play chess. I think this is what they mean by "12 year old". In fact the algorithm probably beats this strategy as your approach probably doesn't identify 2 move 'tactics'.

If you fancy learning more about the game take a look at tactics, and maybe try a tactics trainer. The next level of play is about understanding things like forks and discovered attacks where you aren't assuming that the other player is just going to make huge blunders that give you pieces.

1. Your age is a big disadvantage. Ageism is pervasive in tech, especially for entry-level coders. Someone your age who had started at 22 would likely have been in a management role for ~10 years already.

Ageism is pervasive in some corners of tech. I'm nearly 50, and in my R&D group, there are few developers under the age of 35. Few of the older developers are managers, either.

I think you are conflating age with experience. If the OP has enough skills for an entry level position, then I would not expect him to have anywhere near the same level of expertise as someone in the industry for nearly 20 years. If the OP wants to get into web development, then they should work to progress their skill set over time (which, by the way, is a reasonable expectation for any number of career paths).

Yeah, once you start talking about "not pure ref counting" (that is, ad din cycle checkers and what have you), the cost of ref-counting goes up dramatically.

I was trying to differentiate between "garbage collection" (the memory management family of techniques) and "specific species of algorithms for GC" (where I would class "pure reference counting" as one, and various augmentations of ref-counting as several more, as well as stop-and-copy, o the easier side).
