This. And https://ml-cheatsheet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backpropagati... . I am currently doing MIT Micromasters in Data Science, specifically the Machine Learning & Deep learning course. Last week's assignment was to build a neural network from scratch and these two resources have been a lifesaver.
I think what I tried to reply here is to the idea of not liking to play with the operating system. I love it. Systems programming, understanding how your OS works AND being able to go to the lowest level and fix things by yourself.

It's a pretty good deal and I'm not doing this just because Apple and Microsoft force their own ideology and tracking down my throat, but because this is my passion... I hope I can stay in my niche for the rest of my life and there's no sudden movement to closed systems that will take it away from me.
I’m sure some people would take this seriously.
macOS and Windows have them, the problem is the uphill battle to get them adopted.
The best headlines _on Facebook_. Given that FB is the world's most notoriously bad/spammy content recommendation system this is like an article about “What you need to cook the best food” that focuses on the McDonalds menu.

But hey, I clicked.
For years now this site has been a secret weapon for discovering music and artists hitherto unknown. Classical is often the most surprising. The scan time is too short, as mentioned, so I add new background tabs when I hear a snippet of interest for further investigation. Doing this is an exercise of the mental & physical, and time well spent. How artists and tracks are tagged is not always consistent, but the sheer number of options usually delivers.
This is what Ubuntu tried to achieve with Unity. Even as far as being able to search for GUI commands within individual applications. I thought it worked pretty well and was gutted when they scraped it.

This sounds like discounting a Bill of Exchange. Although the Bill of Exchange is drawn only against the delivery of a physical good, so this may be the difference between the two.

For example, let's say I own a sheep farm. I hire people to trim the sheep, and they produce a bunch of cotton. Without the Bill of Exchange, if I want to pay the people I've hired then I will need to ship this cotton to the spinner, who then ships the spun cotton to the weaver, who then ships the woven cotton to the clothier, who then makes clothes and sells it to a consumer. Only after this has happened can I pay my employees with the money of the paying consumer.

With the Bill of Exchange, a bill is created when I deliver cotton to the spinner. This bill will require the spinner to pay me for the cotton delivered in e.g. three months. I can then take this bill to someone who trusts that the spinner will pay me in three months and ask them to buy the bill at a discount, such that they are paid in three months (when the bill expires). I can then use the proceeds from the sale of the bill to pay my employees immediately. And the buyer of the bill earns a bit of interest because he pays less for the bill than he is paid at maturity.

> I sent in my measurements and they sent me a trouser with wrong measurements and a postcard that said that they adjusted my measurements with AI for a better fit

That is nothing short of hilarious. The machine knows best! Who are you, human, to pretend you are able to measure yourself?!

> AI for memorizing generic trends

It's possible "AI" may be just a pretext to sell mass-made junk and pretend it is adjusted to each individual.
So hot it's almost 20 years old!
The vaccines have proven highly effective at protecting against COVID and its highly transmissible variants, and it's unlikely that we'll see a new variant arise that exhibits sufficient immune escape to result in severe infections in vaccinated people.

The criteria for the various levels of reopening at the beginning were due the need to protect vulnerable people who did not have the opportunity to magically protect themselves by getting vaccinated.
What differs your product from products like Matomo (besides being a single-binary)?
Compared to deaths from regular flu each year.

In 2017 there were almost 80k deaths in the US due to flu.

In 2018 around 40k.

Yes currently its being reported that there has been nearly 500k deaths due to covid only. Note the only part.

I smell number fuckery here...
Yeah, I feel the same way.

On the one side, I get it: air-conditioned buildings, railway cars etc. must have solid windows so that the system works.

But it does not work emotionally for the humans trapped within. Opening a window and feeling the rush of fresh wind against your face is an important feeling, we are creatures of the vast outdoors by ancient heritage, not cave dwellers.

In Silmarillion, Tolkien wrote that even the High Elves of Valinor need to feel the fresh air of the outer lands from time to time. I would say that this extends to us mortals too.
can't believe I watched the whole video
One thing I've tried recently is running the terminal command inside vim. You have vims features of tabs and windows, plus being able to copy and paste between the terminal and editors all within vim. I'm still undecided if this is a good workflow or not.
Funny you would use an idiomatic term like poppycock to dismiss etymology.

>as it's much easier for the NATO to project power into Turkey than for the USSR and because willingness is much higher.

This doesn't make any sense. It's easier for a distant foreign power to project power than a neighboring country? And the distant nation would be more willing than the neighbor?

>Not only did the treaty limit what kind of ships the USSR could pass through for military reasons,

Or "regulated military access."

>for which being into NATO hands completely prevented the USSR from becoming a naval power,

Both Soviet submarines and aircraft carriers were usually allowed through, the symbols of post war naval power.

>in the case of a war against NATO it is impossible to defend the passage without an invasion of Turkey.

War with NATO meant Turkey was at war, or that a NATO member was the aggressor in which case Turkey may reconsider their position.

Your entire point seems to be that the US placed a much higher value on Turkey than Egypt already. I find that hard to accept given how they sided with Egypt during the Suez Canal crisis but were immediately willing to sell out Turkey during the Cuban Missile crisis. Either way, I'd still describe the treatment they received "similar" as my original post claimed.
I've got an M1 Mac (mini) sometime ago. This is my first mac. What surprised me most is how buggy the OS is. I frequently see crashes of core system services (system settings, app store), night shift with "sunset to sunrise" doesn't work at all, on second boot spotlight search stopped finding any programs whatsoever without giving any error messages hinting what went wrong. And of course resizing windows, something that you don't really think about on Windows and Linux, is something that requires effort and focus. And of course the OS is ugly as hell.

What bugged me most though is the keyboard and the mouse (I got myself the official ones). Last week I gave up and decided I'm not using this computer until I get alternative keyboard and mouse, because my hands just can't stand the official ones.

I'm writing this, because Mac had a reputation for being polished. But what I'm seeing is a lot less polish than even desktop Linux in 2021 has. It really surprised (and disappointed) me.

Coupled with better developer tools, I think Windows is more pleasant to use these days, but we'll see, maybe after changing the keyboard and mouse I'll change my mind.
I use Vim every day and love it. And I found tmux' configuration style and controls so confusing that I gave it up completely.

You want Vim-like controls? Use dvtm. It lets you open the content of any terminal in Vim, and from that point you can do anything from selecting/copying text up to saving a snippet in a file with a simple ":w foo".

All that aside, clipboard copy-pasting in Vim is absolutely horrible out of the box.

> Jetbrains are also vi-inspired

Not sure about that. The tab management and window splitting alone feel near unusable to me, because like many other modern apps they are convinced I only want to switch tabs in a seemingly random order(instead of, you know, the order that's literally shown on screen), and none actually have Vim's tabbing where a tab can contain multiple buffers, not the other way around. And guess what, no Vim plugin I know ever touched tabs. Probably because people not using Vim think the UX is all just in some arcane keybindings.
You get a lot of features, but not all of them. We've just fully migrated a web app to a native app. Reasons:

1. Camera is an absolute pain on web - you can take photos, but when you want to deal with things like EXIF data, cropping, zoom, and every device has multiple front cameras now.

2. File systems are a pain. Where does it go when you download? Are you planning on using a cache? Offline database? OK, great, your hack works. Now try again with the new Android 10 scoped storage.

3. Can't easily handle things like calls.

4. RAM usage by browsers can be massive, this is part of the reason for the lag.

5. App Store optimization is easier and more effective than SEO. You can create a shell around your app, sure but you still should upload it and you have to go through quality control processes.

6. DOM manipulation and UI is much harder than on native. If you're using a template, it works, but if you want custom UI, it's a lot easier to control on an app. Even small things like toasts. CSS is hard enough on desktop, try web browsers. And then create a "back stack" on top of your app.

7. You can use something like Cordova, but bits and pieces go obsolete every few months. And making Cordova plugins is an absolute nightmare. I did something in 3 days native recently which I couldn't do in 3 weeks previously.

8. Multithreading, e.g. an app that supports chat or a download queue.

Pros of web app:

1. Prototypes and MVPs are a lot faster. npm has most utilities. And there's custom templates for everything.

2. It's easier to integrate other web functionality, e.g. Facebook posts and TikTok.

3. Architecture is "flat" on a SPA. So you can access something 3 pages back easily, or do something like change data on every page. Whereas native architecture often has several layers. Duck typing is a nice feature.
I’ve seen some comments here saying this is one in a million. Here’s the thing: while that may be statistically true, it’s not an argument to convince people to take the shot. You can’t tell folks “hey, listen, there’s a very slight chance you’re gonna die, but don’t you worry - mathematics is on your side”. It looks like a lottery nobody wants to play. People don’t care about mathematics. Mathematics didn’t make sense in school, it sure not gonna make sense in their life-or-death situation. Ironically, this is the kind of irrational thinking that needlessly exposes the very same people to the virus. The difference is the virus is an accident, while the antivirus is a choice, so I guess they’re essentially saying “I’d rather my death was an accident not my deliberate choice”.

I don’t blame people, though. A friend of mine did the AZ shot recently. The next day he had chest pains and palpitations so severe he thought he was going to have a heart attack. He has a heart disease, but the doctor said the vaccine was safe, and he trusts doctors. Now he’s sh!t scared to take the second dose. The doctor says he’s gonna do fine, and he can’t get tested to see if it’s safe. The vaccine is the test. Should I tell him about statistics? I’d be heartless if I did. He’s well aware of the numbers, but the fear of death (or the desire to live) win against mathematics.
Stop geocoding by separating out addresses into singular fields, for one. Stop showing mostly irrelevant contours on maps, for another. OsmAnd~ is unfortunately the only game in town, and the UX is freaking terrible.
One of my favourite articles on the internet is "an app can be a home-cooked meal". It's something you can make for your own enjoyment, with no plans for scaling on monetisation.

I have started making this sort of software, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I target the platform I use, I solve the problems I have, and my only metric is pleasure.

I wish we all had more of such projects.
That was trippy.

Great question! This allows you to control your own data for later custom analysis if you would like. It also allows you to track custom metrics / custom data from the backend so that it cannot be spammed.
Do you honestly consider Mono an attempt to "sabotage" Linux??

Those must be new openttd features, i don't recall them being in the original game which i played to the death.

Anyway, I've found just to easy to get insane amounts of money when industries where enabled. So playing with passengers only made a bigger challenge in the beginning
We can always switch to Qeng Ho time units, since we all kind of already using them now anyway.
> Water levels aren't any higher or lower before or after.

Yes they are. It's a fully functional sluice, and the water level on the city centre-side is higher than the water level of the Vecht outside the city. They cannot open both sluice doors at once. During summer, sluice operators are active all day to guide boats through, and they cannot pass the sluice after the operators' working hours.

(Also, the footbridge already exists.)
> It doesn't matter till we'll be actually able to settle down on Mars permanently

Mars is the least useful planetary body in the Solar System for human colonization, so that time may well be "never".
> By that, you are not only implying that once engineers could do so (and their modern day counterparts cannot) but also that modern engineers aren't taught first principles—at least not to the extent that they once were.

I think what he means is that complexity today has scaled so much that a new graduate would have a hard time to be able to do and remember and understand everything. We are so vertically specialized that I doubt an electrical engineer could, as an example, build a basic computer fast enough and use it to code a functioning basic web server from scratch.

At the start of 1900, not so much.
Stacker (YC S20) | FULL-TIME | REMOTE ONLY (limited to Europe!)

.

Stacker is a no-code app platform.

We're on a mission to let anyone create software. We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems:

.

If you're a PRODUCT-FOCUSED ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.

You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser.

You'll be building a Python-based backend that can connect to any data source, and simulate running complex data processes.

You'll taking ideas from programming language design and turning them into flexible functionality that can be used by non-programmers.

You'll be shipping new modules daily, which are used immediately by our users to make their apps work better and do more.

.

If you're a MULTI-SKILLED PRODUCT DESIGNER (UI+UX+Product), come and help us design a modular product that empowers non-developers to build the software they need.

You'll be creating a flexible design system that we can be customized by the user and still look great.

You'll be taking common web features like news feed and messaging, and stripping them down to their most pure form so they work in any app.

You'll be designing a set of modules that let non-technical users feel empowered and able to create amazing, innovative apps.

.

We're recently funded, and are a fully remote team, but (pandemic permitting) we get together every few months.

We believe in Radical Transparency, being Empathetic and Kind and Making a Dent in the Universe.

> There has to be a historical basis for Norway's approach. Viking law?

Late but I think it is from Judaism via Christianity. I used to read a lot in the Bible when I was young (still read but not as much) and I think there are rules about intentional vs unintended killings in the old law, more specifically there are rules about cities of refugee where someone who has killed someone unintentionally can flee to.

Viking law is more about blood revenge, at least in practice (I've read a fair bit of Snorre and other Icelandic stories as well when I was younger.)
No it was a fair question. Real answer here:

To continue your tangent:

> The crew refuses to hand over control to a computer

Star Trek universe lives in this strange place of being on the very cusp of technological singularity, edging on the threshold and yet not crossing it. Both in TOS and TNG era, their computers are so advanced they keep accidentally creating sentient AIs[0]. And yet, whenever that happens, the AIs are met with apprehension; Starfleet, in particular, would like to see them gone. In some cases, the protagonists stand against the zeitgeist and fight for the rights of digital sentience, but in others, they're desperate to put the cat back in the bag.

In-universe, I explain it to myself like this: the society of Star Trek is afraid. They do not understand their technology at all. All the scientific and engineering knowledge people in Star Trek demonstrate so frequently[1], it's all in context of what computers tell them. They almost never look at raw data, they almost never deal with raw reality. They grudgingly accept this state, but do not want to make that last step and actually let computers run things.

Out of universe, it's obviously because Star Trek was meant to be a humanist story - the adventure of humanity, exploring the universe and becoming a mature, respectable, good people. Anything that threatens it, anything that would immediately turn humans into NPCs, dethrone them from the role of protagonists, is shunned in the series. That's why both artificial intelligence and genetic augmentation receive such negative treatment, a glaring exception in the otherwise inclusive and forward-thinking show.

Circling back a bit - I think our real-world society is approaching the level of "too smart technology", and we're going to become afraid too. And unfortunately, developments like this article aren't the kind that would happen in a Federation research facility - they read as something straight from Ferenginar. Our civilization is not proto-Federation, it's more of a weird blend of Ferengi Alliance and Cardassian Union.

[0] - See e.g. "Emergence" (TNG: 7x23) and "Elementary, Dear Data" (TNG: 2x03) for Enterprise D's computer forking off sentient AIs, "Evolution" (TNG 3x01) and "Quality of Life" (TNG 6x09) for Federation robots accidentally becoming sentient, "The Offspring" (TNG 3x16) for how easy it is to fork Data, "The Ultimate Computer" (TOS 2x24) for what happened when they let a too-smart AI run the ship for once - and that's not counting all the cases where sentient life was created with involvement of alien entities or objects.

[1] - One thing I love about this show is that competence is considered table stakes. Everyone, whether they're Starfleet, a Federation civilian or a member of non-Federation species, is educated, curious, good at what they do, and expects the same qualities of everyone else. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the real world.
View maintenance, rendering and compilation are instances of the same underlying problem: efficient incremental calculation of an acyclic computation graph, a.k.a. differential dataflow. When the graph has cycles or feedback, you enter control theory country. It’s not surprising that neural nets look like feedback control systems.
I disagree, actually. I think we already have Windows and OSX for that, and even Android and Chromebooks. I think the biggest value of Linux Desktop is that it is an experimental playground for a melting pot of ideas.

I have used Linux on the desktop exclusively at home since ~1998 and, like Miguel, I went through a lot of pain. Heck, I remember the days when I couldn't even boot my machine without tampering with the kernel. And to compare that to what we now have, well its a world apart. I have been using Debian Testing for some 8 years or more and in that period I probably had one or two (at the very most) dist-upgrades that borked my system. And those have always been due to binary NVidia drivers.

For me, the importance of Linux is that it offers something that no one else can offer - I could take this exact same setup back to my home country and start teaching kids and they would have exactly the same setup as me, with top tools, even though their hardware would be extremely old. I do not think its important that Linux takes over the desktop, much as we all would love it. What is important is that it remains viable without changing its fundamental characteristics. And that, I think, has already been achieved.
