The dual numbers, in my opinion, are a lot easier to understand with some background in differential geometry. In differential geometry, if I_x is the ideal of smooth functions vanishing at the point x in the ring of smooth functions, then I_x / I_x^2 is a real vector space called the cotangent space (these elements are given the suggestive dx moniker; the “infinitely short line” you mentioned above is just a modern interpretation of the infinitesimal from calculus) and dual of this vector space is the space of tangent vectors at this point. Another way to think about R[X,Y]/(X^2) dropping all the non-linear terms for X to create a flat (co)tangent space.

Also the original motivation for sheaves was about creating a way to deal with multi-valued complex function. The complex log function is multi-valued so in intro complex analysis it’s studied locally by choosing a branch of the range where it’s singular valued. Thus it’s impossible to “do differential geometry” by talking about a global ring of analytic functions. But you can talk about the “local ring of analytic functions” at a point and specific branch and glue these locally ringed spaces together to get global insight.

Teachers are leaving and few people want to join the field
I had a professor once that said he found his most professionally successful students weren’t the ones who got A’s but the B students and he calked it up to the notion that the B students were better able to know where the maximum return on their invested effort was where as the A student invested whatever it took to get the A even if the incremental effort required wasn’t proportional to the incremental benefit of the next hire grade.

The notion that perfectionism can be harmful reminds me of that.

You're repeating this and providing zero information to back it up.
> Chun explains: “There are 3,003 scenarios where 10 people can be chosen from the 15 applicants, and only 11 scenarios where all 10 are men. All things being equal, the chance that the top 10 applicants would all be male is 11 out of 3,003.” Or, as Chun calculates it, the likelihood that gender discrimination occurred in the tenure process last year is over 99.6 percent.

Everything else aside, this is a very poor argument. "All things being equal, the chance that John Smith won the lottery is 1 out of 10,000,000. Or, as I calculate it, the likelihood that the lottery was rigged in his favor is over 99.999%."

There are plenty of arguments to make to support the idea that gender discrimination occurred here, but this is not one.

This kind of reasoning has had disastrous consequences in criminal trials. People are inclined to think "given that this person is innocent, what is the likelihood of this outcome happening" when they should be thinking "given this outcome happening, what is the likelihood of the person being guilty", i.e. you need to consider actual evidence.

No, it just makes it your opinion that the bills are similar, and my opinion that they are not.

This bizarre obsession is clearly just to distract from responding to my rebuttal of your actual position.
Let’s try again:

> that make life harder for smaller developers Nobody is making the Apple App store illegal. Those developers can continue to use that, if they prefer it. It is just other companies can choose something else if they want.

This simply isn’t true.

If a developer has to negotiate with a multitude of different stores, each with different rules, their life will be harder.

Given that the alternative is to lose access to customers, it’s the small developers who will be harmed most by this.

These bills are supported by giant corporations who want to run their own stores. It’s just about them taking a cut, and has nothing to do with consumers or small developers.

This was an opinion piece, not really hard news, and it begs the question as it were by assuming that some news sources are "accurate" and other are not. I think that a more easily verified test of quality -- or perhaps worthiness of my attention, anyway -- is this: Does a purported news organization have a journalistic code of ethics (don't pay sources, &c.), a history of enforcing that code, and an easy-to-find corrections page on the Web? I want my media diet coming from those sources that admit error, publish corrections, and hold their reporters accountable to a standard. And from those that do appear to do these things, I can make selections that seem to support an empirical approach to the truth and an abhorrence of patent nonsense. (Do they have a science denier on their op-ed page, like the NYT? Do they sponsor events featuring Deepak Chopra, like the Atlantic? No thanks.)

It is also amusing that NPR is not behind a paywall.
I see what you're driving at -- but on balance I just don't see a slippery slope here.

Whether the executive branch is technically entitled to make such pronouncements or not -- or whether they "should" -- their rationale is that this isn't so much a basic press freedom issue, as a shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater issue.

I can see some pushback on that stance -- but not all that much. And at the end of the day - it's not like their pronouncements have any coercive weight. It's just an instance of them using their office as a bully pulpit (which every presidential office has, to one degree or another).

That is to say: an exercise of their own freedom of speech.

And I definite get GG's point also -- that the government's "stance" doesn't need to be coercive for it to be effective.

But he's missing the boat, nonetheless. He's making Rogan out to be the likes of Galileo or Andrei Sakharov. Or a real-life Winston Smith. I don't where Greenwald thinks he's going with that -- but that's where (to my ears) his language becomes manipulative and intellectually dishonest.

Yeah, I run my own email server and have the same issues with the same services as the person who wrote the piece this links to.

In my case users are sending estimates and invoices and monthly statements to their clients and while fake invoices may be a spammer thing those clients know who's sending them an invoice, and why and what for, so an 'Unsubscribe" link would be completely out of context because they are not subscribed to any email list.

I've had the same domain name for over 20 years now and none of my users have ever used my apps to send spam. And as spam and email volume go my server isn't even close to sending out a lot of email.

When I set up a new email server last year, with a new IP address, I had to go through the process of getting white listed. All the big email service providers have ways to do that. Google made it very easy. They gave you a unique string to add it to your DNS records and that's it. Microsoft is so convoluted I've still not gotten anywhere with them. Comcast and others had a few hoops and ladders but nothing that got me stuck.

Personally, while it's a bit of a PITA to setup and manage an email server, it's been worth it.

I used "Mail-in-a-Box". It's pretty easy to set one up with that. It has a built-in DNS server and that's a really great thing to have for managing several domain names and as many email addresses as you want. I've setup email accounts for family and friends as well as throwaways for my wife, who signs up for everything she sees on the internet.

I can move the IP address of my email server to the top of the list in my Mac's System Preferences for DNS and start testing new domain names and changes to the DNS immediately. I don't have to wait for those to propagate to whatever my access provider is using.

So I have 3 servers. An Email/DNS server, a database server, and a website/webapp server running on DigitalOcean's "Droplets". It's a bit of work for a small shop but it's much easier to manage once it's setup and I don't have to worry about any 3rd party service selling out or going under or changing their API to something entirely different. All of which has happened to me in the past.
For desktop publishing, Scribus does CMYK.

RGB color in Gimp is fine for me because I only use it for photo processing, and cameras shoot in RGB so you aren't losing any information by doing your photo processing in 16-bit or higher RGB.

You can do color space conversions to CMYK after that stage.

On an interesting side note, realistically though, I've found the vast majority of people I've had to work with don't understand the difference between RGB and CMYK and just want "PDFs" and don't necessarily let me choose or interact with the printing agency directly, or the printer is some friend's wife's father's friend's friends' friend's company on WeChat that is going to be doing the printing at 1/10 the cost of every other commercial printing agency out there and they've chosen to use that company and it would look silly of me to suggest to use a company that costs 10X more just so I can get proofs. In those cases, I've found that if I don't have access to proofs, these days, RGB PDFs often seem to get more consistently rendered than CMYK PDFs.
You have to wonder if they know how absurd their comparisons are.

It's weird how people want so, so badly to be in some counterculture. And to be "owed" something, in the moral accounting. That Green Day song plays in my head, with the music video: "I Want to be a Minority!"

First, my main desktop is a librebooted KGPE-D16.

Second, it matters if those possibly-hostile cores have network access. Technically they could subvert the software on the main CPUs to communicate with command/control, but that seems like raising the bar to such an attack. Whereas with the standard mobile architecture, I can totally see some phone manufacturer getting the "bright idea" to have the baseband processor collect statistics on the application processor's software for market research.

But I agree with your general point.

Still, I think moving in the direction of Linux phones gives us a starting point to do something about this insecurity - proving the market allows there to be devices that truly separate out the cell modem.

One of the games I made was hosted by my company, it’s sequel was on cloud.

Was annoying because Crimea was not allowed to connect to the cloud, but we sold our game there as it was part of Ukraine/Russia and there are no trade embargo’s from my publishers country to theirs.

So the situation was that people who were able to play the first game were able to buy but not play the sequel, which must have been frustrating as hell- and it’s not like the citizens did anything to warrant that.

That was annoying, we need European cloud providers really.

> So you you knew it was an opinion

I don't make much of distinction between an opinion, and making a statement. I only went with that, because apparently calling it an "opinion" is important to you, for reasons that are a mystery.

I am happy to call it an "opinion" because my main point is not whether it is a statement, or an opinion, of which I don't care or make much of a distinction, my main point is that you still did not give any reason or justification for it.

> whether I have that information or not.

Well since I just mentioned it, I now know that you are aware that the EU is working on laws that allow alternative apps stores.

And if you are aware of it, then your statements, or opinions, or whatever you want to call them, are false, because that is a pretty clear similarity.

>Because the problems they solve can’t be that challenging, largely because the students won’t have the requisite problem solving skills. Now we hit the actual problem – coding is useless without the ability to solve problems, and I don’t see anyone advocating for teaching problem solving skills (in any form).

The author seems to miss the point that "teaching coding" is "teaching problem solving" by proxy. Problem solving is not taught on its own, in a vacuum. There needs to be an adequate environment where feedback is quick, problems are manageable, and information is available. Appropriate coding exercises provide that environment. It's an excellent way to teach problem solving.
There aren't. Kind is more stable, is more JS-looking and less Haskell-looking, which makes it more practical IMO, has a super fast JS compiler and you can write React-like apps on it easily, but some work is needed to improve the type-checker performance when certain syntax sugars are used. The core's performance is superb, though.

Idris2, I can't comment much. All I know is that I envy its unification algorithm and synthesis features. Its syntax is more haskellish, if you like that. It seems less mature in some aspects, though. Very promising language overall.
Quantum friction explains strange way water flows through nanotubes
Algebraic geometry has many deep and powerful ideas. It started out by looking at the space described by the zeros of a polynomial, eg

y^2 - x^3 - x = 0, x^2+y^2+1=0

But actually you do not need to talk about the underlying space directly. If you want to talk about a space, all you actually need to think about are the possible functions on the space. If you want to talk about geometry, you only need the algebra of functions on that space, so in the example just the polynomials themselves, rather than having to say explicitly solve it for the points. You can use this big idea in a lot of other areas of mathematics and physics.

"Terrorism, regime destabilization, and policy change related objectives are by far more often assessed as failed, as compared to the other policy objectives. Overall, the average success rate [of sanctions] of around 34% across different policy objectives is very much in line with the effectiveness rate of 34% that is reported in the analysis of Hufbauer et al. (2007) and falls in the middle of the success rates ranging between 27% and 37% form Threat and Imposition of Economic Sanctions (TIES) database of Morgan et al. (2014)."

The paper also notes that "the success rate of sanctions has gone up until 1995 and fallen since then."

http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~cas86/GSDB_FKSYY.pdf

20-35% success rate of sanctions has been replicated a bunch of times. Sanctions are the foreign policy experts form of collective punishment. It seems they largely exist to satisfy the bureaucrat's need to "do something."

The "it's vs its" fight's dilation is overdue: I knew that it was going to become a grammar mistake spreading throughout, reaching almost every pseudo-professional writer...

As a non-native speaker, my language credentials may be slim, but I can't really stand the -quite widespread- extra apostrophe when it's a possessive "its". The reversal, though, doesnt bother me that much. I guess that it's about character conservation.
