The thing is, since we don't have a separate neutral in French, masculine is also used for neutral. Which means it isn't that weird when we use masculine for groups with women, as we also use genders for everyday objects. A desk is masculine for some reason, and a table feminine.
Agile is A) vague and inspiring enough that everybody can project their desires, hopes and dreams on it and B) vague enough that it can be twisted by any authority to serve pretty much any purpose they like.

This is intrinsic to the entire movement and was from the very beginning as far as I can see.

There were some good ideas that emerged from the auspices of the movement but the movement itself never really committed itself too hard to any of them.
Perhaps his real views were always just greed and power for the sake of it? What kind of ideology would cause someone to spend so much supporting a presidential candidate who has no ideology?
Sorry my point in the demo isn't to tell you how it works (we're compiling TS to JS, not really mind blowing) but to show you what is possible in terms of iteration time with a browser native game engine.

I'm also not trying to say you can't have fast iteration time in other ways. Just that the statement about the browser was incorrect.

Interesting - what is it that makes you care? (Possibly related question: why didn't you just donate ~100 to the artists you found and enjoyed?)
That's a good point. I guess I should've said "influence society" or have maybe just said "seeking political power." He's started and funding multiple political campaigns, spending lots of money on it, and has been giving speech at various conservative events since 2016, or so, plus his involvement with Trump. So I guess I'm just interested in why he's so interested in politics all of a sudden. In this article from 2009, he was trying to avoid or get rid of politics.
It's impressive they did that already in 2014!
Like I said, I do not approve of the horrible ideas we have, with dots everywhere - this transforms words that are fine as they are. I am for simplification, though (nothing to do with the current topic, just a thought).

What I am missing are the concepts young people are bringing in more and more, where they have words that become unisex (potes for instance). I listen to my children and (without any scientific analysis), it sounds to me that there is less of a boy/girl cut that there was in my times (this may be regional - this is for west of Paris).

And I agree with you that only naturally appearing changes will stay, not the ones forced on us. A typical example are the surrealist ideas of the 90's to have French equivalents for everything computer. Some stayed, the majority is now part of comedies.

People do believe it, because thinking that intent matters makes it impossible to defend their other position: that the most important thing is how the "offense" is received.

If intent matters (as you say, anyone with half a brain knows it does), then if you receive my comment as being offensive, I am still right because I didn't mean to offend you. What they want is to make sure they can tell me I'm wrong anyway because the person was offended... hence, my intention didn't matter.

>I don't know why but the whole cryptocurrency space feels like a philosophical parody of the real world. Money without people. Contracts without enforcement. Ownership without property.

The common denominator between these being: process without purpose.

And this is why the parody works so well. The world is already like you describe, though it's hard to notice if you view it through the rose-tinted glasses that the ever-shrinking in-group is more than happy to sell to you for good "old" fiat money. (If 50 years ago is old.) Neoliberal "infinite growth" capitalism is already an inter-generational MLM, sanctioned by a global monopoly on violent enforcement. All power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and we have all become so delightfully non-violent... The logical conclusion: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia locked in perpetual war upon the background of a collapsed ecosystem?

Well, fuck that. Techno-capitalistic nation-states are an early-stage performance optimization. And since violent uprisings lead nowhere, we're doing the sane thing. We're refactoring 'em the fuck out of existence.

If "having a court enforce [a] process" is "simple", how come so many people already have "avoid courts", "distrust lawyers" as rules of thumb, and "don't side with authority" as a general life principle? For the marginalized majority, every state is a failed state, and every system is hostile and oppressive. The thing everyone's getting out of crypto is the same thing they've been getting out of all the other silly pyramid schemes, from Tupperware to contraband. Which is to say, the same things they've been aggressively denied by the state-sanctioned economic mainstream.

Hope. Opportunity. A voice.

A functioning parody of existing economical processes gives people the hope that there's a better economic system right around the corner. Maybe we just have to collectively sort of stumble into it.

Of course, it's only that simple if you have a simplified view of human creativity. But that's OK, too. Every invention that truly revolutionized our way of life was a somewhat accidental result of thousands upon thousands person-hours of organized research. And that's exactly what we're doing here - about as haphazardly as virtually any other kind of software development, but at the same time crowdfunded on a global scale.

Today, we're offering people the same sort of economic "junk food" that the current system has gotten them addicted to for the better part of the 20th century. Tomorrow, someone finally sneaks distributed consensus technology into the mainstream, and makes the world a little less corrupt.

It's beautiful.

Why was the University actively passing along supposed evidence, or even commenting on some kind of ongoing investigation? It could only be seen as damaging - wether something is technically 'made public' or not is almost secondary issue.

" it would chill public discourse "

Well it might 'chill' and restrain Universities ability to have someone 'suspended and investigated' in a public spectacle, and to communicate those issues to alumni, which is possibly materially damaging to individuals careers.

It's disturbing to read the comments here about what is 'chilling' because the obvious irony here is that this man did absolutely nothing wrong, and has suffered material damages due to a brigade of ideologues. I don't think we should be concerned about the Unis ability to sanction profs.

This is evidence of a form of 'cancel culture', in this case private interests cancelled contracts and probably made it more difficult for him to pursue future contracts with other parties more than likely out of concerns of public outrage as opposed to any real moral condemnation. Everyone at the University has taken note, surely there's a 'chill' on campus.

Do you think profs are going to likely speak their minds and have reasonable discourse about these difficult issues? Or will they avoid having any opinion other than what is sanctioned by the most radical elements on campus so as to ensure there will be no uproar?

It's deeply illiberal.

The conversation should be about appropriately addressing the concerns of the students (whether accommodating their demands or not), and then protecting everyone, staff, students included from inappropriate outrage. The University probably should be contacting the firms that cancelled contracts towards asking them to reinstate the prof in good standing i.e. repairing the situation, and then repairing the culture on campus to allow for reasonable dialogue.
Sadly true. But I reluctantly stop short of attributing that nasty side-effect as a defining goal of the CoC movement, because - you know - I always try to assume good intentions :)

Yes, I've read the linked blog post, thank you very much for making an ass of u and me.

And btw, that Herodotus, while being "the father of history" was full of shit, is something that any Greek school kid will tell you readily, so bringing this up is just a shallow dismissal of my point: that all we know about ancient times is what ancient authors have written, like Herodotus, Xenophon, Thucydides, Plato, and Plutarch. You will not learn more about ancient times by a blog post that quotes them second- and third-hand, all the while expressing strong personal opinions about what they have written, than if you read the actual first-hand sources, biased as they may be.

Like, you're the second or third person who makes this point: Herodotus confabulated. Sure. And who else didn't? Who else are you going to get your knowledge of what happened 2000 years ago than from the people who wrote about it all around the time it was going on?

I mean, do you think there are some other, magickally objective and accurate sources about ancient Sparta, than the ancient Greek authors I suggest people read?

You seem to spend too much time on leftist web sites.

First, they aren't being paid for unlimited. Do you think that $39.99 or $199.99 per month can cover the cost of transferring unlimited amount of data to another continent?
Of course, it doesn't. Somebody pays $39.99 to download 10 emails, another customer runs BitTorrent 24 by 7 consuming TB's of bandwidth for the same price.

Second, they don't want to sell "unlimited" - they could make more money by selling differentiated services.

I don't think that's a fair framing. As others have said, the users of the broadband pay for their bandwidth. It's not Netflix pushing data, it's the users pulling it. If you have 100 users that pay you for 1Gbps/s but your network can't handle 100Gbps/s that's your failure to adhere to the contract you made with your users.

In the road example, it's more like if every person paid for the ability to put one truck on the road and everyone delegated their truck space to a shipping company who now has millions of trucks hogging the roads. Yes, they're using tons of infrastructure but their usage has been paid for already.
I agree, just like exotic words that are wildly accepted (eg. Umami, Zen), they're handy.

Though, people might not know the word Biaomei at all and get confused by the codebase: people know the word "Umami" because Japanese food is popular; people know the word "Mujahideen" because they come from political events and news. I wonder what would lead them to Biaomei...
Not just if they identify it as the cause. It can also happen if the cause or location is undetermined. Like if you did some electrical work and they could determine that it was an electrical fire at the box but couldn't determine which circuit caused it. Even if you do the job perfectly, you could still unknowingly get a faulty material. Not to mention that even without an issue they can drop your policy due to risk associated with unpermitted work.
I asked my wife, a double board certified general&plastic surgeon that has worked as both a breast surgeon, breast surgical oncologist, and plastic surgeon, currently with a plastics practice that is 75% reconstructive, and 25% cosmetic to comment on this article.

>FIDE’s statement leans heavily on the concept of post-breast cancer reconstructions in order to legitimize this sponsorship, with managing director Dana Reizniece-Ozola providing some statistics on the prevalence of breast cancer in women: one in eight, with fewer than 10% of those electing to undergo reconstructive surgery afterwards. The spectre of breast cancer is real and terrible. However, FIDE’s focus on post-cancer reconstructions is an unrepresentative portrait of reality: around 75% of breast augmentations are performed for cosmetic reasons.

"When it comes to surgical removal of cancer, there are two mains methods: a lumpectomy, or a mastectomy. A small lumpectomy does not require implants, a large lumpectomy may, but this is a patient's decision. Mastectomies require breast reconstruction roughly 80% with implants and 20% by autologous tissue harvesting such as a deep inferior epigastric perforator artery (DIEP), a breast-reconstruction using stomach tissue that also doubles as a tummy tuck. By law in the US, doctors are required to offer breast reconstruction. There is a method of doing a closure of a mastectomy without implant, using a Skin-Sparing Wise pattern internal mammary perforator (SWIM), also known as the Goldilocks procedure, but women rarely opt for it (3-5% of the time) in her practice."

"Despite the fact that our capability to diagnose is improving, women are regularly opting for mastectomies instead of lumpectomies for a number of reasons. Most surgeons or hospitals, not patients, choose the implant company, for logistical reasons, or simply experience with that brand. Mentor, Allergan, and Sientra are the FDA approved implant companies in the US. Because congenital defects happen, fixing them may be considered cosmetic, when it is bringing a patient to a normal appearance."

There's a big difference in usage patterns: Netflix has a small number of videos, each with huge viewer count. That's eminently cachable. Youtube otoh is the long tail, orders of magnitude more videos with small view counts. Some of it may be cachable, but that's going to shave off on the order of 20% of the traffic cost, whereas in Netflix's case the gain could easily be 99%.

No, it wasn't. It had a broadly similar population; it's just that most of that population were slaves. And they did have slave auxiliaries, so it wasn't necessarily a manpower issue.

Can you give an example of the proprietary entity you're referring to? I was curious so I took a short course that covered minting NFTs with Solidity, and the way it seemed to work is that the JSON strings (which contain the base64 encoded image) are stored (as an ERC-721 token) on the Ethereum blockchain. Eg. you can see a random such token here: https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/token/0x6b96751051cd25c29cdcea7...

The only proprietary entity involved in that process seems to be Alchemy. My understanding of them is a bit vague but they seem to just help with making miners aware of the new contract and getting it distributed. But that's just the contract, once it's deployed it's nothing to do with them and the NFTs AFAIK don't pass through them at all.
Typically the process is after 10~15 years, pretty much everyone realises that someone just like them - or even more capable - has already tried & failed to improve the situation.

At the point, the rational thing to do is just go with it and try to get in the path of the government's money hose. Principles are all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that the government is deciding who gets to win.
One problem with gradual typing is that it has comparable performance overhead to dynamic typing: You can only optimize out dynamic type checks, dispatching, marshaling etc. if you have sizeable, self-contained portions of your program (i.e. modules) that only use static types! So the "graduality" of it goes mostly unused in practice.

It can be a useful pattern when designing interface boundaries across modules (e.g. ABI's, data interchange formats etc.) to allow for the required flexibility in a limited context where the overhead isn't going to matter all that much.

History says otherwise. A mass of disfranchised people can stay disenfranchised indefinitely.

A ruling class tends to be toppled by some external cause - such as a foreign invasion (e.g. Iraq in 2003) or long-term changes that slowly undermine their power base. Successful revolutions and coups tend to be carried out by a small, disciplined cadre that is able to seize the moment, such as the Bolsheviks, or a clique of military officers. Unfortunately, that usually results in "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" as far as it goes for the disenfranchised masses.

Peasant revolts however generally end in failure.

Isaac "white men need no apply" Schlueter. This guy never resigned of any group he was part of, or NPM leadership when he said some objectively racist comments... rules don't apply to them...

The people who push these "codes of conducts" are the one harassing others and codes of conducts give them a way to harass other developers into ideological submission without being punished for their harassment tactics, because CoC are written in such away that if you're not following the intersectional ideology then you are fair game.

All that had never had anything to do with programming, it's purely partisanship. And if you don't cave, harassers are relentless because they have their own massive internet mobs on social media, a well oiled ideological war machine.

With my wife, we are working on visual interface for creating Python scripts in the notebook. We created desktop application MLJAR Studio. In our app, user has a list of predefined steps. Each step has a graphical interface with a form that after filling generate the Python code. The Python code is the source of the truth.

Currently we have a few steps for training Machine Learning model on tabular data. Here you have few gifs with screenshots: https://mljar.com/docs/how-does-python-notebook-work/ how it looks like, and example how to build ML model: https://mljar.com/docs/create-first-notebook/ on tabular data. The created notebook is compatible with Jupiter notebook.

In the near future, we are planning to add notebook scheduling and more steps (probably with some dynamic manager for steps loading). We see MLJAR Studio as an alternative to visual programming environments which are node based. Because the Python code is the source of truth, it offers a great flexibility to define new steps or to add custom Python code.

The app is desktop based (it is using electron framework). It automatically installs Python 3.9 with miniconda and required packages. The installation is local, without change to the environment path. You can see installation instructions here: https://mljar.com/docs/install-notebook/. The application is only for Windows. If you are interested in MacOS or Linux versions, please fill the form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeB5-hA326sBg9fg-pp... and we will notify you when ready.

If you would like to try the app (currently Windows only), it can be downloaded from GitHub release page: https://github.com/mljar/studio/releases
