And your evidence for that is what exactly? Since this replication problem is already known to appear in multiple disciplines, it's quite likely that the same misconduct is happening in other areas too. I think you're being a little too quick to hope that it doesn't affect those areas where you have a vested interest.
I used docker, that's what I used before. I'm aware of podman, but did not try to use it. But thanks for suggestion, I'll look into it.

PS I just tried to use it. I've got some permission denied errors from containers which were not present with docker. I guess podman is not ready as a complete replacement of docker for me.
Setting aside the question of whether beliefs are influenced by genetics, there's no dichotomy between 'innate' and 'choice.' My religion or political views may not be 'innate' (whatever that means), but they are also not a choice. Can they change over time? Yes!

But not because I woke up and made the free choice that today, I will believe something else. You cannot simply decide to truly believe something else in the same way I could choose between two appetizers on the menu. You cannot choose to legitimately hold a belief. (You could choose to pretend to hold a belief.) If you don't believe me, try choosing to believe Nazi ideology is right and true.

I would actually say sexual orientation is quite similar. Someone cannot simply choose their sexual orientation. A huge conflux of factors come into play, such that people develop a sexual orientation. It may change as we 'discover' new things about ourselves, but there's no choice involved in how we feel.

To be fair, Bellard has the luxury of doing that because he's generally writing things from near scratch and he's not beholden to other people or outside requirements.
Are you going to be limited as to how many words you can say?
this is very true. I kinda realized this early on. I wanted to be a physician. When I did the volunteer time in a hospital, I realized for the most part I did not want to do what doctors did.
What... Have you seen the piping syntax in tidyverse? It's incomprehensible unless you put in a lot of effort to understand all that's going on.
That seems unnecessarily pessimistic. There is literally an mbti personality type called counselor “INFJ”. An INFJ is a born counselor. https://keirsey.com/temperament/idealist-counselor/
Example: Gandhi. I doubt he cared about being Bond. His ideal of non violence would interfere with a license to kill.

Indeed. Logo offers a great "my first programming steps" experience. Often translating the programming language (and syntax errors, etc) to the native language of the programmer.

This is unmatched, and can never be matched, by Python.

To state the obvious, no one knows what it is like to be someone else. We can compare what interests us, motivates us etc and say "I am more like that person than this other person". So I suppose the question might be framed in that way?
The advice with going with what are you good at and makes you happy 80% of the time is a good one if you're not 100% passionate about something. If, on the other hand, you do find a passion on a profession then go with it 100% percent and "follow the dream".

Even with this context "the dream" can change over time though. In the beginning I thought my dream was electronics since at 16 "the bug" hit me and started to devour tons of books and practice little circuits on garage. However once I failed to enter at my desired Uni and landed on an adjacent one the dream changed once I was face to face with a computer.

Currently, having a 25+ years career in software development, I can also do electronics on the side. With IoT and hardware-software integration I am involved in both worlds but I consider myself a software developer first and secondly a "good enough" at electronics.

I do realize I am one of the lucky few that got to "follow your dream" and land on a lucrative one at the same time, but for the first 10 years was not that easy in Europe to do that. EU market drop at beginning of 2000's combined with my "amazing" country's politicians made me struggle just above poor line at times. Only after 2005 onward I could say this career also allowed me to live good.
Teams is a case study in subtle and not so subtle bugs and ux issues:

Just yesterday we spent time in a team meeting because someones Teams instance was malfunctioning.

Sometimes restarting the application completely (be aware it idles in the systray) works, other times restarting the pc or disabling (or enabling) hardware acceleration will work. Other times it helps to move it to the built in monitor it seems.

And sometimes, like yesterday, nothing including

- all the above,

- disabling incoming video

- and reinstalling the application

works.

As for UX issues there's clicking on "join meeting" and continue working for a few minutes until you realize "ah, the first join meeting doesn't join the meeting, only opens the join meeting dialog".

Another winner: when you click on the 7 more people icon to see who else are online and it does nothing.

Or the fact that joining a started meeting is a multi step process (find calendar, find today, find the meeting click join and join).

Yesterday I'm also sure I had an instance of sound getting through before I joined.

Still, somethings works flawlessly for me: jumping seamlessly from one device to another during a meeting is fantastic.

Sound is OK for me. Background switching is ok etc etc.
Android 12 will have the option on the user side to give precise or approximate location data, which should be sufficient for privacy.
Some subset of adults want their work to provide the same warm and fuzzy validation of their beliefs that they get on Facebook. Another subset distrusts "anonymous polls" and will quickly click the right answers to make HR go away. That might add up to 66%.
I have set up PHP on Apache (both php-fpm and mod_php) and Nginx countless times on different Linux distros and never ran into problems. It might have to do with the fact that I have so much experience with web servers but it takes me only a few minutes to set it up on any Ubuntu/Debian based system (download time of the packages excluded).
Fedora uses btrfs by default. I don't think that snapshots are enabled by default, but quick googling reveals some instructions which should enable snapshots for updates. I guess that might help to achieve similar behaviour.
Most CI vendors offer caching directories between builds, and then you set the pip cache directory. Failing that, I made a proxy server that can work transparently if you can set default environment variables: check out proxpi
R might be a perfectly fine language, but the culture and ecosystem around R seem to produce a lot of untested, difficult to read code. Globals everywhere, mediocre requirements resolution, and a lack of forced namespacing come to mind. Maybe it's a result of being used by people who are not primarily programmers.
I can name several high school students who conducted studies and led first author papers to leading HCI venues. They were supervised by academics though. Would that suffice?
I’ve seen this a lot. The biggest reason for failure is people assume they already know everything about the VM and language. Erlang + BEAM are the most integrated pair of VM and language I know of. It’s the only VM that will preempt running processes. It’s also truly functional.

A lot of really brilliant folks have written truly shit Elixir code because they underestimated the challenge. Oh you’re passing that blob to four different gen servers? Cool expect you blew out your memory copying terms between them. It’s also operationally complex and doesn’t like the normal way of doing things because quite frankly it’ll do it better.

Take metrics or logging, both will slow down your application in Elixir/Erlang/BEAM by a not insignificant amount but people just shovel as much as they can into their apps assuming truths from other languages still hold. When your request times are measured in microseconds, that instrumentation is gonna slow you down. People literally buried boxes with erlang on them in the ground and they’ve worked for 20 years. Maybe give sampling a shot if it worked for a telecom maybe it’ll work for your blog :p

I’ll stop rambling here. While I truly love elixir it’s a lot more of a rodeo than people expect and it extremely subtle ways. It’s also extremely expensive to hire developers. Because you’re not going to be able to hire juniors. They just don’t exist for a language like Elixir.

If your dream is something that can be achieved by hard work rather than luck or being a statistical outlier then go for it, especially if it gives you a livelihood.

Another idea is to time box it. Dedicate every fiber in you to it for a fixed amount of time and at the end of that truly evaluate your odds. This kind of dedicated application and focus does transfer into other areas.

When it comes to sports, you are only young once and school and a vocation will always be there. But have an exit plan and a hard cutoff where you really evaluate your trajectory.

If you have a dream and a well defined purpose that fills you with passion don't throw it away casually. It is a rare thing to know exactly what you want. Figure out a way if you can.

For the rest that can't determine their dream, choose goals and paths that give you the most options at their end. Don't decide what you are going to be for the rest of your life, pick a place you want to be at in three to five years and shoot for this.

I use a powerful IDE (Intellij) in a static language (Scala). And I do use the refactoring support all the time. But I use the multiple cursors feature just as often. Sometimes you want to change more than just a variable name. Sometimes you want to replace just a part of a variable name that's identical over several different variable names. Etc etc.
I hate the self-help industry with passion. But I liked Cal Newport's book So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love [0] exactly for this reason.

He debunked the "passion hypothesis" and gave practical advices along with the stories of several successful people from real life.

He is vehemently against "follow your passion" advice. He said in his book that if Steve Jobs focused on what he was passionate about, he would be a Zen monk in some monastery, and not a tech billionaire.

I picked up his book because he is a CS PhD and Asst. Professor, and not another 'buy-my-book-because-I-am-successful-in-selling-this-book' guy.

This is a short book and I highly recommend it.

Off-topic but do you mind sharing some of those helpful techniques?
You call it a "threat", but that's literally the whole point of Bitcoin. It cannot be censored that easily. It's a feature, not a bug.
Can anyone provide an example of a situation where something like this is a pragmatic solution? Please also provide the drop dead simple version too and explain why this would be more elegant and intuitive in comparison.

Types of examples I am not interested in seeing:

- a DropDown list using a state machine (or something similarly simple that’s been solved a million times in a simple way).

Edit:

I just think stuff like this is too weird and dangerous to evangelize, and I’m at my wits end in dealing with simple components that have been over abstracted.
Difficult to find out and it's difficult to compare an AMD GPU with an Intel or NVIDIA one at this point.

Because they do things differently and the laptop that using is doing things differently too. And... about those other laptops, they do things differently too. (ASUS Zephyrus vs a Legion 7 differs a lot.)

This is one of the reasons why I use openSUSE, it has automatic btrfs snapshots that let you roll back in case anything breaks. Tumbleweed is already one of the most stable rolling-release distros, and I haven't had anything break yet, but it's nice to have regular snapshots as an an extra layer of safety.
This seems like a reasonable place to start: https://online-learning.harvard.edu/subject/r
We did this when I worked on factorio (on all three desktop platforms, not just linux), it works really well. Side bonus is you can make the inevitably required small tweaks inside the library easily because it's all integrated in the same build system as the rest of your game.
R is used almost exclusively in stats. Most in maths use python, c++ (there's a surprising amount of hpc code, e.g. pde solvers and other stuff floating around in c++), matlab, etc.
Just the design. Firmware and software probably not except for FOSS purist products.
Eh. Poverty is a state of mind. I'm not reffering to the actual state of having no money and being stuck there. I'm reffering to the feeling of inferiority and shame people that grow up poor acquire. Often the latter does more damage than the former.
I think follow your dreams (or perhaps find what you’re passionate about) is ok but only part of the advice.

The rest is:

- Understand what the job really entails. Speak to people who currently do it, try get work experience doing it etc.

- look at supply and demand, if only 0.01% of the people who are doing it are making any money, that’s a tough market to do well in.

- look for barriers to entry that you can overcome that limits supply. See what’s involved in building a moat. Passion helps with this.

- work to address the bias towards jobs that sound interesting to everyone eg YouTube celebrity, game designer, footballer etc, although these also fail at the supply and demand stage. Actively look for jobs that are less obvious that have the properties you like.

- consider you’re career holistically e.g. does it fit with the lifestyle you’d like, is it populated by the kinds of people you’d like to work with, how likely is a stable income.

- think long term, dreams change, how hard would it be to pivot

etc.
How’d you go from people not wanting open conflict and harassment to being anti-diversity? That’s a big leap. There is a place for civil discussion but if you get kicked out because you start screaming at people and flipping tables it’s not because you’re being oppressed, it’s because you’re being an asshole that no one wants to be around.
This project is more on the academic side -- disclaimer, I was involved in it, but it's led by Justin Harris at Microsoft Research: "Sharing Updatable Models on Blockchain" https://github.com/microsoft/0xDeCA10B

The idea is that the smart contract is a learning algorithm, and people can donate data to a public repository stored on a blockchain. The learned model is publicly available for everyone. People can also receive incentives for donating data in some implementations.

Could someone explain what is being done here?

I see they are using a GAN, and doing unsupervised training. But then they appear to compare their model to supervised-trained models.

How do they do this? Do they tack a supervised-trained model onto the end of their unsupervised model? I imagine they must do supervised training at some point, else how can they convert sounds to text?
>Apologies if I projected. Not attacking you, just explained which neurons got triggered in my head.

No worries, and I probably didn’t take the time to explain my perspective better.

I don’t think any comforts are “bad”, assuming they aren’t built upon oppressing someone else. And there’s nothing wrong in my view with pursuing them. But there’s a needle to thread between pursuing comforts and needing comforts to be happy. The hedonic treadmill really seems to limit the latter.

There’s nothing wrong in pursuing good nutrition as an example, but I don’t want to be the person who can’t enjoy a good meal because I can’t ensure every ingredient is organic. The obsession with comforts can pull us out of the present because it’s rooted in subjective comparison.

Avoiding discomfort as a primarily goal doesn’t seem particularly healthy to me. Avoiding intense exercise because it’s discomforting or avoiding tough choices regarding climate change because they are uncomfortable don’t seem to me as particularly enlightened.
My dream was to do something loosely related to science and be able to sustain myself. ( un-employment was really, really high and made scary by the media where I grew up. )

Mission accomplished!

Joke aside, I grew up with a undertone of “whatever you do, think about the fact that you will have to pay the bill son”

A experience that is wildly different from my US wife. Bless her heart.
Obviously, you can't undestant what you do not experience yourself ( at least a bit). And saddly this lack of insight could justify hunter/prey dynamics and win/loose approaches as social games. However,because most society members are inevitably loosers in such games then these games are unstable and backfire periodically ( but could take even hundres of years until a culture fails and resets the evil games)

Prostitution.
> I am getting more and more convinced that to have a sustainable and fulfilling career you need to be honest with yourself and find out what you like to do not what you'd like to be.

I think the vast majority of people in the world do not have this luxury. They should be working backwards by figuring out what their goals are, prioritizing them, figuring out how much they cost, and then figuring out what they can sell (including type of labor) to make that requisite income happen with the highest probability.

For example, do you want to write about science more than you want to have children and be able to purchase a home in a high end neighborhood? Do you want to be not working in the evenings and weekends and find and marry a spouse who also is not?
Citations of replicated papers should be multiplied by a high factor to counter balance this effect.

> PHP's own type system is usually expressive enough.

I'd say it's one of the worst type systems. Expressive enough not to need docblocks, ok. Expressive as a type system: hell no.

> I never understood the why for this 'send-a-message' way of talking when what I do is really call a function

Because you don’t, dynamic dispatch means you don’t know and are not supposed to care how the object handles or responds to the message.

That is maybe more flagrant in Self.
The language changed a hell of a lot between 3 and 5 and between 5 and 8.

It has improved markedly and while it still has it's warts modern PHP8 code is very different.

However the ecosystem has absolutely matured alongside it as well, Symfony and Laravel are excellent general purpose frameworks, composer is an excellent package manager etc.

It's what I write for my day job and while it'll never be my favourite language, it's a pleasant enough productive language and it pays the bills.

I'm still looking for the equivalent of DataViews (leading GUI builder in 1998) for modern apps. I'm serious too.
> I agree with your diagnosis of the problem, but don't think your solution is a good way forward - immediately after undergrad is way too early to be evaluating research potential and would just shift the hyper competitiveness earlier.

Immediately after undergrad is how it used to work in the golden days of science, more or less.

If the competitiveness is the problem maybe tenure should be a lottery that you enter once at a fixed stage, preferably before you're expected to start publishing in journals.
Interesting, thanks! It seems the difference is indeed that rural US is a lot more rural than rural UK (England for sure).
I basically worked as an R troubleshooter in a Pharmaceutical company, and honestly I wish python or Julia would take its place. There's so many instances when R would return a nonsense answer rather than fail, but you wouldn't realise until you did a deep dive of someone's code.
Oh wow. This needs to start just being a part of GTK.

Something I recommend to all is to install uMatrix and only allow first party CSS and images by default and only increase permissions if necessary.

Because I block all cookies by default, I never run into this problem.
proxpi is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! The straightforward Docker installation is especially great, I can have it running with one command.
> Aren't there welfare programs in the US?

Welfare supports are very patchy, mostly run at the state level. As a general rule of thumb, long-term cash benefits are almost impossible to access, and "in-kind" benefits like subsidized housing like subsidized housing tend to have long waiting lists.

"Food stamps" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplemental_Nutrition_Assista...) are one of the larger broadly-available benefits.
