Oh, ok. I thought I raised some points that were at least plausible (e.g. transgender women in women's spaces) and then you start ranting about conspiracy theories, mathematics, the president not being able to read, not liking gay people and so on. Where did you see this conversation going? It was just so obviously doomed to fail with your attitude. I hope it felt good to take out some frustrations and now you feel better? But I doubt it.

Just some friendly advice man. You goal should be to treat me with respect and try to convince me of your point of view, or at least mutually learn. When you respond like you did, using shame and outrage as an argument tactic, it doesn't work. I just think you're emotional, a bit of a dick and not willing to really engage in a genuine discussion so I just tune out. If anything, it'll just solidify what I think even more because it shows to me you don't have a proper retort.

Yes those intuitions could be entirely wrong. You're reading it as I'm saying "if we know one individual can cover 100m in 9.58 seconds then we can confidently understand everything about the alien species, their biology, their origin, the world they live on, with 100% accuracy" and saying no we obviously can't. I agree we obviously can't say all that. It's the other way round, we start with a blank slate and can say absolutely nothing about their origin, biology, world, etc. But when we find out one member can cover 100m in 9.58 seconds then we can say ever so slightly more than nothing about them, a non-zero amount more than nothing.

Maybe not much more. But definitely more. And not with 100% confidence, we can't conclude anything. But there is information there, and we would be daft to ignore it completely because it isn't conclusive. We should adjust our predictions.

> "you can't conclude anything about the average speed of an alien species by finding out that one individual can run as fast as Usain Bolt."

If you know that a sloth takes 6min40s to cover 100 meters, a giant ant takes 1min40s to do it, and you run it in 30 seconds and a cheetah can do it in 5.1seconds. I say "I'm thinking of a creature, what is it?" your answer has to be "I don't know". If I say "an example of the creatures I'm thinking of takes 9.58 seconds" you ought to be thinking "slow cheetah or fast human" not "could be a sloth because ackchyewally the distribution of sloth speeds could be very wide so we don't know".

You could assume the individual was the fastest of their species, but why would they be? You could assume the individual was noteably slow, a famous creature to be laughed at. With no way to know which is the case, you may as well assume the creature is a typical example - not because you know they are, but because if they aren't you have no way to know which way they aren't.

Before we knew nothing, now we have more information than nothing. We ought to update our predictions based on this information, even if it's not much information and we can't know for sure. We ought to think the alien is less likely to be an immobile plant or silicon intelligence, less likely to typically move at the speed of a sloth. Not impossible, but this isn't meant to be a trick question where we get a deliberately wildly misleading time. 9.58 seconds is more like (cheetah, human, giant ant, jellyfish) than it is like (panda, mushroom, saltwater snail, sentient light beams). And yes, there might be nothing like those creatures at all, but "we could be wrong" is no reason not to adjust our best available guess.

There are some tricks with this too.

If it looks cultivated, then neighbors generally think it is supposed to be there. If parts of it is set aside to let it grow out with borders, it's amazing how people think that it is somehow contained.

I have seen people put signs out on the front declaring the space to be a wildlife habitat. I have no idea if there are anything official like a registry that protects that.

Boston has a lot of students but it's also a major coastal city. I probably wouldn't live there--but that would be because it's urban (and expensive), not because there are a fair number of students there.
As with many checklist items, it is a useful technology that when set up and followed, can be totally awesome.

Turning on and adding some "proper" filters on the audit subsystem won us the first spot in a CTF, as the early markers that "something is up" turned out to be excellent.

But if all you do with it is pipe it to your log server and ignore it? Well, then it's not really going to help you, and is only a checkbox item.

I feel that much of this disparaging on various "checklist" items is crappy half-assed semi-elitism. Checklists are _amazing_ tools for preventing accidents in many industries, everything from surgery to trains and flight use them with great success.

So why can't information security professionals use them without being derided by others in the business? Perhaps the same reason as doctors insisted that hand washing was time consuming and unnecessary, or the financial institutes that insist that oversight and auditing is unnecessary.
I can't speak to Boston, but in the couple college towns I've lived in, it really depends on where you go... there were certainly plenty of places where so-called townies frequented way more than the students, even in towns were the seasonal student population dwarfs the local one.

And before anybody jumps on you, I fully agree with the sentiment, college students in party mode can be extremely annoying to deal with if you aren't in the same mindset.

6th Street in Austin is a really good example of this phenomenon.

I totally agree on having a balance and doing what makes sense.

If you want running around and sporty activities, lawns are great (no accident pitches, and sportsfields are grass). If you want low maintenance, go with native vegetation or boring gravel.

Never the less, you have to know the effects of native vegetation. It attracts things you may not want, so you may want to design your flora for the fauna you are willing to accommodate.
It's a nice joke, but IMHO it's not true... unless you don't know how Docker works
Laws around recording typically also cover cases where an outside person, who isn't a party in the conversation, is recording. The idea is that there are three possibilities: all parties in the conversation consent to recording, one of the parties consents (almost certainly the person who wants the recording), and none of the parties consent (ie, someone is spying on the conversation). One-party consent is legal in a variety of countries and regions of countries, while zero-party consent is illegal pretty much everywhere I know.

Like art, discounting the human experience in mathematics strips away so much of its meaning.

The mystery had gone, replaced by deeper understanding. And there, with that very personal, emotionally rich, intellectual journey of discovery that we all must follow if we wish to understand mathematics, we find the deeper beauty of mathematics [...]

Having conducted technical interviews at FAANG companies for over 10 years, I've gotten to the point where I never believe anything anyone claims on their resumes unless I can independently verify them. I also make it a point to ask probing questions about where they got the idea of "inventing" what they did and what alternatives to "making a brand new thing" they considered at the time.

However one of my favorite questions to ask is, "What don't you like about what you invented?" A true creator of something is always acutely aware of its flaws. They're unsettled about its shortcomings and wants to do better. In describing the flaws they demonstrate deep insight into the problem space, and they explain expertly how things don't go perfectly in certain corner cases or how the code could have been better organized.

The poser will almost always struggle to come up with criticisms of what they "invented" and try to pass it off as a spectacular feat of engineering brilliance.
A yard takes 1-2 years to fixup into shape. Less if you go with the quick and easy 'rye' way, but that is only good for 1 year. If you can afford it hire someone who does it for a living and it will be amazing. But if you want DIY just buy plants that fit the area. Aeration and proper grooming will be the top items on the list.

I would go house shopping with friends and family. I would walk into houses that were basically amazing. But they would hate the backyard had not been mowed this week and nope out.

When buying a house keep an eye on structural, shape, layout, and location. Everything else is mostly decorative. For example I had to kind of move recently fairly quickly. So the apt I ended up in is very 70s. There is no fixing that structural. The owners have tried with paint and colors. But it still has a very closed in 70s build to it. No amount of paint will fix the walls that are in the way.
Because they are competing on a vaguely equal footing with all the other researchers around the world. Funders want published results in return for funding, and will typically give funding to the researchers that have the perceived highest chance of publishing results if given the money. This incentivises researchers to publish anything they can. It means that money gets sent to China if it looks like the Chinese researchers are likely to make good use of it and return results. That's how academia works.
I think most containers also run "bare metal", they just are more isolated as far as process/memory/fs, etc.

Having worked with and without Docker for various web apps, it removes some dependency management and server setup at the cost of another layer (or two...) of complexity. It's not always worth it to go to containers.

Docker seems to make the most sense in cloud environments that scale horizontally.

I'm not sure.

I wrote a highly complex analysis engine for Wikipedia and Wikidata that fetched Wiki markup through the API and tried to parse the Wiki markup.

It was big mistake.

The feedback loop that Wikipedia editors work on is "does the HTML output look OK?" and not "does the markup conform to an unknown specification?" so part of the problems is fixing up "errors" that exist against what you think the markup meaning is that don't exist when the document is rendered.

I wrote something that turned the HTML to a DOM tree that could get photo metadata out of a flickr page knowing just a few things about the document and URL structure; I gave up on maintaining the API-based tool and was able to get highly accurate (better than a week of work on the markup parser) extraction of Wikiiedia Commons metadata in about 20 minutes out of the HTML.

As an engineer I also know the business folk tend to design APIs to maximize their business value and minimize my business value. Usually I look at a web site, see information I want to scrape and I "just do it". With an API you tend to make a big investment before you realize exactly how restricted your access is.

Frequently it is "RPA and done" as opposed to "you can't get from here to there" with APIs in commercial practice.
You have it right. Now of course if your project expands and has a front-end build step or some other process, etc. then maybe it's helpful to add a container to not have to get that working in two environments.

But with just a Go binary, I think you're doing it right.

I think an unintentional lab leak is going to create less issues for Asians than the other theory of "dirty" Asians eating bats, don't you think?
I had a friend who worked at Compaq on tools that did desktop imaging. There was one tool he used that had a big splash screen when it started naming the author. Everyone was in awe of that guy so he used the cachet of people knowing his name to move on to bigger and better roles. My friend decided to see if he could replicate that success and when he wrote the next version of the tool he too had a big splash screen with his name up front. Sure enough it worked and for a certain subset of everyone, everyone at Compaq knew his name and he too was able to move on to what he considered a better role.

There were a couple of downsides; he got calls for years after asking for help with the tool, and one boss seemed envious which led to other issues.

Basically every headline on this site fits the pattern "<progressive thing> ruins <other progressive thing>" (and if you read further, they've done so generally by being too progressive).

How Stonewall have sacrificed gay rights! (Someone needs to look up the origin of their name)

How universities ruined feminism!

And SF is causing Asian Americans to be harassed by not locking up enough criminals. A black member of the LGBTQ community is quoted as saying it's gone too far! And we all know the first rule of progressivism is that you can't disagree with black people or minority sexualities, so that's like 200% settled. Let's not bother presenting facts or statistics to support the argument.

edit: just googled one of their contributors and their latest tweets are on the topic of "woke people causing a wave of anti-Semitism" and "trans-rights would appal suffragettes".

> Broad based high levels of education weren’t great for Ireland either last century

Can you clarify this remark? Ireland didn't provide free secondary school education until the late 60's (my Dad was sent to secondary school for three years as he was the smart one), so I'm having trouble understanding what you mean here.
It probably matters how this opinion is formed. Often it’s formed first by your own pain, and if you start talk to people and do user research you might discover that you’re on to something.
Possibly. Of course they could have contacted me first rather than modifying my program to pass it off as theirs.

I mean it was GPL2 so they could have just used it as is.

Of course this was the early 2000s where many people saw "open source" and felt like it meant they could just do whatever they want. I bet they never entertained the idea I would ever find out let alone be sitting in a sales pitch :)
I am still struggling to convince myself that complex numbers are more than just clever notation for polar coordinates.

I know that the real numbers aren't "just notation" because things like $\pi$, e, $\sqrt{2}$ etc can't be expressed using pairs of natural numbers (i.e. as rational numbers). I'm having trouble finding an equally simple example of "can't do this using pairs of reals" justification for complex numbers. Are there any simple and obvious applications that require continuity/calculus or topology on the complex plane that can't be restated in terms of real-pairs (and calculus/topology over those)? Trigonometry arises whenever you are able to take limits over any kind of cyclical/repeating process, so the fact that sin and cos appear in Euler's Identity does not seem terribly profound to me.

Also, why stop at complex numbers, since it's "turtles all the way"? Quarternions, octonions are neat too. Why doesn't Feynman think octonions are "our jewel" too? At each step (real -> complex -> quaternion -> octonion) you get a larger class of formulae having roots, but sacrifice more properties of the ring structure. For example, the reals have a total order but the complex numbers do not.
The thing about LSP is that you really want to minimize latency for the user, which local is still the fastest at. Particularly with newer incremental completion engines that don't need to re-read the entire giant project.

While you do want your build to be as fast as possible, the constraint is often throughput and not latency.
There's too many unsubstantiated statements in this paper to take it seriously.

Theoretically, no, the hack wouldn't happen if they knew there was no chance.

Realistically, yes, the hack would still happen. Because there will never be a world where people don't pay ransoms, especially if they have no other options / backups.
First it needs to be shown why higher fertility rates are a good thing.
Finding the truth should be bipartisan, there should be no controversy.
I am always fascinated by people complaining about decades old programming languages which are still alive and well. Some of those commenters seem to be trying really hard to prove APL and it's offspring are bad/wrong/etc., but history tells us otherwise. Even Numpy relies on the APL family as one of the language groups which guided its design.
Seeing this division of PM:why, what, vs. EM:how, when, and who is vincidating, but in multiple organizations, I have never met an EM who did not want to be a PM (n~=20), and this misalignment created friction. PM envy is a real thing.

However, it's because of a lack of distance between the skills in the EM/PM pairing. The successful pairs I've seen, there was no threat to the skills of the other. A non-technical PM who is content to take the EM's technical views at face value and takes incoming flak on behalf of them, and an EM who recognizes the complexity of the multiparty dynamic of sales, board/investors, customers, and finance, and defers on those issues - together, these are very distant and so they work together in a complementary way. Obviously it's more nuanced, but the complementary difference was key.

Where the PM is an architect with skills (my own conceit), and the EM thinks the tools they have for solving problems can also be applied to managing complex dynamics, the overlap is going to make bad neighbours. You need real complementary skill diversity, because if one thinks they are too similar, it's going to be a hyper-personalized war for their percieved security, and the whole thing goes bonkers. Negative team conflict is essentially "mimetic violence," to use the Girard/Danco framework.

The best EMs I've seen loved the tech problems they were solving and really liked leveraging people to scale teams to solve them, and found that satisfying. IMO, an EM who doesn't get excited at how cool their stuff is is a liability.

The best PMs I've seen both knew and genuinely liked their customers, albeit with benevolent boundaries. One guy I saw was like this happy monk who listened and relieved suffering with new features. Whatever the unicorn he's now at pays him is not nearly enough. They have an invisible, energizing effect.

If you are in a PM/EM conflict, consider whether you think you can do the other person's job, and if you think you can, not only are you wrong, but you are likely at least half of the problem. However, the solution is to recognize the other person doing something you can't (not telling them, rather, admitting it to yourself and your unintentional behaviour will just change). IMO, there is no point in talking it through, the conflict is based on your internally held beliefs about how similar you are, and the only way to resolve it is to adapt those beliefs with new consideration. Mentally treating what they do as a kind of alien magic can create enough breathing room because that exercise of creating that conceptual distance is the opposite of holding territory and security.

If you literally can do their jobs, you are a mismatched pair, and if you are an exec creating these pairings, consider reassigning pairs that are too close in skills and lack complimentary properties.

I wonder if this magnetism and/or superconductivity happens and impacts anything in some deep and sparse pockets of space where it can naturally get to super low temperatures? Is that a thing?

Trying to imagine how an object in space made mostly of iron moving around in the coldest parts of the universe might act or interact with other objects around it. Seems like if it is cold enough and there is enough metal around it might force some clumping of material.

Maybe nothing happens or it can't because where space is that cold there is also not much there to interact with? I am a casual consumer of science info, I don't know anything really. Just thinking out loud.

Not sure if this is applicable to your case, but if the application is/can be used by an end user, then having it available as a Docker image can be really useful to the user, and reduces friction to try out your program.

Many times while looking through a project I find on GitHub, if they have a docker image available to try it out, I can try it by running a single command. But if they have more than 3 installation steps, I usually pass.
Property-based testing requires you to define the condition of success or failure (the "property" you're testing for) too, right? Whereas fuzzing just looks for crashes?
