I work as a data scientist (like many others in this thread) and Altair is a great tool for exploring the data. I really like the grammar of graphics approach and the ability to do things like cross-filter and the general ease of enabling interactivity are great! Amazing work by everyone on the Altair/Vega team.

There are some drawbacks though that have been holding some of my colleagues back from switching from e.g. Seaborn to Altair:

- No zoom by selecting the x- or y-range. Almost all other libraries implement box-zoom, Altair does not have this. This is probably the biggest complaint I have heard so far.

- Annotating data inside the plot is difficult. I don't mean `mark_text`, I mean placing an annotation that you would do in Matplotlib via `ax.text(...)`.

- Along side that: No TeX support.

- It does become slow once there is a large number of points in the chart (and you don't want to aggregate).

- Missing mapping features. I know you can have maps in the background of your plot, but I'm talking OSM like mapping.

- Working with layered + faceted charts takes some time to get used to.

- It used to be that if you had a dataframe with 100 columns and you were only plotting two of them, still all 100 columns would be saved to html. I think this is addressed in VegaFusion?

Still, I want to just emphasize how much I love Altair. To understand relations in your data, it's amazing to just assign color to a column, shape to another column and so on. Really neat! With a background in mathematics, it was also helping me to think about the whole tidy approach to dataframes, so that was an added benefit!
Hacker conferences hardly decide IT planning business decisions, and very few attend them.

In any case, I would bet they are outnumbered by fruity laptops.
well, i was thinking more like..... something that could spit out an android app because it's source is 5k android apps binary/hex code...i.e. it goes off internals, basically its a model of models. So it could find some common ground between all models, and create a new model that's the best of all of them. Then add itself to that list of models, and start up the next generation to do it all over again, including itself, and keep repeating until it can't get any better maybe, or until it finds a new way of doing training, or something. I guess I'm looking for a way to speedup the ai singularity when ai can build upon itself, or really learn like a human -as in receive new input and it's added to the whole of the thing in real time.
Hydrogen generated by hydrolised cooling water, ignited by irradiated zirkonuium giving off sparks.

If you proposed the catholic church running the reactor, that would have been a better gotcha..
In the context of assistive technologies used to people recovering from TBIs, our tool is very inexpensive.

They typically are looking to cover dozens, not hundreds/thousands of users. If that were the case we could offer a discount on ongoing usage, as long as they covered the one-time cost of contract review.

The level and type of sanctions directed at Russia have been nowhere near what those others face. Until the recent war broke out the west was happily doing almost ever kind of business with Russia and even now many of these connections remain. There was even a big push to open economic relations throughout the 90s.
Whoa, a printed ebook!
I think removing persistent storage and the ability to add websites to the home screen makes it obvious what their strategy is. The EU shows that they want interoperability for big players like they do with messenger interoperability in the DMA. The web is such a fundamental standard and its interoperability is so important I guess the EU will fine Apple for such behavior. The question is how soon this will happen.
There's a very old post which was on USENET and then on Reddit, which was a wry look at life on a sub, and an even funnier post of how to re-create the experience at home. Mostly it consisted of getting your SO to lock you in a cupboard under the stairs, run a vacuum cleaner outside the cupboard 24/7 and periodically throw a bucket of shit over you, while you were wrapped in a black plastic bag (CBW)

That’s a moot point. Yes, socioeconomic factors do negatively affect birth rates, but what you don't understand is that even before those socioeconomic factors were in play, male fertility was already on the decline. A good example is Canada. Before contraceptives were popular, before abortion was legal, and before economic incentives for having nuclear families disappeared; they already lost the ability to replenish their population in 1972 (birthrates fell below 2.1), meaning their birthrates were already declining during decades of an optimal socioeconomic environment. ie that’s what it means when the male infertility studies accounted for socioeconomic factors.
Keep in mind that going through this strategy will take you hours and hours, and with Software Engineering salaries it's quite probable that you should instead rather be working on stuff that you're actually good at with this time.

Or then you outsource this whole process to someone else and pay them a slight premium, which is what I would do. My time isn't worth an email battle and spreadsheet acrobatics to save $3k.
I don’t think MS is interested in sharing back its improvements, like a directx integration layer it would have to build.
Stay curious!

Almost always there's good reasons if a seemingly-obvious solution isn't much used. Sometimes it can be hard to understand why without a lot of in-depth knowledge, as it can depend on somewhat non-obvious aspects, typically in the practical realizations like in this case. With perfect sensors, dead reckoning would work like a charm.

However I find that thinking about the problem, coming up with these what-if solutions and then figuring out why they don't work, can be quite fruitful. Often leading to new knowledge that might actually be relevant down the line, and if not it's a great exercise in problem solving.

The precious little framework idiots I worked with couldn’t even keep up with Node versions.

None of us can write most of this on our resumes, and we can’t just spend our way out of it.

What I really don’t understand is why people are so fixated on getting version 1 out the door. Like it’s the Mount Everest, and afterward it’s all easy sailing, or everyone lives happily ever after.

Anyone can ship a version one. It’s shipping a version 2 that’s hard. And it sounds like your coworkers, like quite a few I’ve encountered before, couldn’t ship a version 2. That takes pacing and stamina and reaping the rewards of having said “no” enough during version 1 to normalize it.

Those things are getting really good. The drift specs keep getting better - a few degrees per hour now. The last time I used that kind of thing it was many degrees per minute.

Linear motion is still a problem, because, if all you have is accelerometers, position and velocity error accumulates rapidly. A drone with a downward looking camera can get a vector from simple optical flow and use that to correct the IMU. Won't work very well over water, though.

They're saying that the person above was misrepresenting average working hours by choosing the farming industry to make their comparison.
From your description it sounds like you're placing "making money" / "success" as your main motivation for these projects, which would explain why you're losing it so easily. Extrinsic motivations are very easy to lose, it sounds like you need to prioritise more intrinsic things such as having fun or learning something interesting.

But being 95% performant compared to native speed is not worth a lot if the "only 85% performant" alternative costs millions less, since you can often spend half of those millions on more or better hw and still come out with a decent profit.

It's cool and great to have the best product, but if the "only" edge is that if you spend a million bucks on license, you save 10s or 100s of K in hw expenses, the business proposition is actually not that great.

I get that the whole ESX ecosystem has a lot going for it, but as some of the VM loads are getting more and more dumbed down, being the one with most features and some more percent better perf is not going to win out in the end, as I see it.

I'd be suspicious. Are you saying that China exports/production is actually coming from North Korea; because based on that North Korea would be the actual super power.

My guess is that this is a rather limited trade that on the scale of things (700million chinese workers vs 100K North Korean) is really negligible.
10 years ago I walked in a dealership to buy a used car and employed a negotiation tactic that I had recently learned online. The problem was that the technical price negotiation worked so incredibly well that I basically got (politely) thrown out of the dealership.

The tactic was simple: disarming empathy. It was a method presented by a hostage negotiator via this NPR podcast: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/167802325 Basically you agree with the salesman that whatever price they are offering is actually very fair, and in a normal situation you would accept it... but you apologize profusely saying you just can't spend this much because it is too expensive for you. When he says such and such product quality justifies the price, you wholeheartedly agree with him... but you can't afford this.

So that day I had identified a specific car I wanted, online, at a dealer in my area. I went in to see it in person. I explained I was ready to buy it today, got sat down at a desk with one of their salesmen. And he starts by presenting his price. I explained it's a really good price, but I really can't afford that, and asks if there is anything they can do to reduce it? After a while he says, sure, OK, what about this new number? And basically I keep doing the same thing over and over. I profusely thank him for reducing the price, but explains it's still too much. Over a span of 20 minutes, he cuts the price down 5 or 6 times, up to a point where I finally say we've reached a price that I am able to afford. I don't remember the numbers but I think we had started around $19k and got down to $16k. The salesman is mildly happy, but I distinctively remember him not being that enthusiastic. He said he's going to get the paperwork ready to finalize the sale. He leaves me at his desk while he walks way. And a few minutes later he comes back, with a very sad look on his face, and apologizes while explaining that the owner of the dealership refused to let the sale close at this price. He says there is nothing he can do for me, shakes my hand, and remains awkwardly silent, then apologetically stood up to make me understand it was time to leave. I kept thinking the guy probably had just been yelled at by the owner about he could have screwed up the negotiation so badly.
Look, this guy totally invented driving an old beater instead of a modern car!

Inspired by you, I've started using a Nokia 3310 instead of those new iPhones that keep getting more expensive and last for two years MAX!
The fact that you can't install apps from your own xcode and run locally (used to be at all now I guess seven day limit) is silly.

On Android, with Android 12, we can now have apps on neostore (fdroid frontend) auto update. There is no good reason to defend apple here. You as a user are always free to not install third party app stores.
For non-Chinese Android, there are ASUS, Samsung and Sony. With Google Pixel not available because in Typical Google fashion they have no idea what they are doing. However even including Google none of the four provide the fit and finish of OS or Hardware.

And this paragraph sums up everything wrong with today's Apple;

>The switch also made me cancel the Apple One bundle that I still had. The kids never really liked any of the games on offer with Apple Arcade, I never found any shows worth the time on Apple+, and I always did prefer Spotify’s playlists and UI to Apple Music

All of them sucks. Most of them have launched for at least a few years with Apple Music close to its first 10 years. And they are still the same.
This was highly embarrassing though I doubt it changes the equation of nuclear deterrence. Even if only half the trident are functional, no nation in its right mind will want half of the UK ICBMs heading their way. Even if you think you can shoot down most of them.

Problem is, if you sanction all the countries willing to launder for Russia, you'll probably end up with a few Western countries (and not even all of them).
Not sure if that's "negligence" on the part of the officer. Non-facetiously, I'd expect that police officers are trained to draw their weapons on people who absolutely will not comply with police orders / commands. I believe we've stopped using "reasonable man" standards for police officers a long time ago, so it's not relevant what a reasonable person would believe was egregiously negligent.

Idiocy on the part of the officer, perhaps. Negligence on the part of the department training, perhaps. But I do believe it's customary and normal for police to draw weapons on non-compliant citizens, regardless of threat level.
Well, the "true character" of any company is essentially being a greedy asshole - and that's no surprise, if they weren't that way from the beginning, the shareholders would dictate this behavior. I know some people think Apple is an exception - maybe these latest shenanigans will change their minds, but I wouldn't bet on it...
Interesting idea but I think one huge factor for cosmetics in games is status. Other people see, what cosmetics you have and this encourages people to show off expensive stuff. This does not apply to a personal UI.

And what about people judging the app on the first look? Good design can interest people in checking out what the site is actually about in the first place.
Yes and I've worked at such companies, and all of them had internal ui libraries that were way worse (along every metric: features, performance, consistency, documentation, a11y etc) than most popular options like MUI out there.
Early immunotherapy for Crohn’s disease significantly reduces complications
I had the same experience. When we think about being our own boss we think it just means that we can code whatever we want, when in reality it means we are responsible for _everything_, including things we don't want to do. I too realised then that I absolutely hate selling, marketing, and dealing with angry customers.
Nobody is talking about IP here, it's about using standard and open protocols. HN and Nekoweb are both proprietary services, that's fine, but they run on HTTP and the only thing you need to interact with it is a web browser of some sort, whereas nekoweb's discord “server” relies on a third party (Discord) and uses a nonstandard closed protocol.
Can you give examples of when you'd want to use the other methods?
They could do that just fine if they picked an existing UI library on a company level. There's no need to invent their own.

Never in the history of software has one lost a sale due to how the buttons of their product look like.

And I guarantee you that their internal library will be worse than popular options out there. The amount of time I've been in meetings where 10 smart, well-paid people from 10 different products in a company are endlessly discussing paddings on an input field... It's just a complete waste of time.
To complement your comment, you anyway need a set of PIDs to control your process to your set point defined by your MPC, so good underlying PIDs are a prerequisites to the higher up algorithms (but unlike you, I am not an expert in control, only dynamic simulation...).
I completely agree either your goals. I'm still not sure though what law you would propose that would move the needle in the directions you are hoping for.

While I agree iteration of laws to refine the outcomes is a useful approach, it's also an approach govt is bad at. So having a reasonable starting position might be helpful to discuss. Frankly, I don't have one. At least not one which isn't immediately gameable in the real world.

For 200 years the "young" have been waiting for the "old" to age out the system, then discover when they do that they're the new "old".

It's hard to change the system when the rule-writers are where they are -because- of the system, and where huge swathes of the country are against any change at all.

From what I understood Japan has pretty strict rules and is also heavily regulated. Are you sure building standards are higher in the US than in Japan?
You should know that any attempt to change that culture would have the international community screaming genocide.

I wouldn't say so. When you're on assembly programs, you hold things like "register values" in your head as well as other low-level things. It's not only about abstractions and language features.
> For example, see the differences between South Korea and North Korea.

This is mostly a doing of the country (or elites) itself. North Korea could be much better (it's actually doing a lot better than many third-world countries despite their backward system) but they choose not to.
Don't look at the now, the moment, look at the long run. If they had missionaried for a religion that creates a reverance to natures creation and destruction for self-gain as a colonial, anti-god ideology, that would create longterm prospects for this to survive.
If they had planted plants poisonous to goats and sheep, this could have endured longer.
If they made this sort of work a yearly festival. That would have done more then a incentive driven strawfire.

Long term? Yes. Long term as in "by 2100". Until then, the more immediate issue is the aging population, making everything from health care to retirement financing (the public, European-style models), in the current form difficult. This was a topic already discussed in the late 80s to a degree to be part of classes when I was in my very early teens.

Migration helped to mitigate that. Regarding fertility rates so, the developed West is just ahead of the curve. With economic growth and stability, the rest of the world is following the same curve Europe and the US do for quite a while.

I think, that ultimately, global population will stabilize, including individual countries. There will be dips and spikes, as usual, overall so we should be fine as a species.

How to support the elderly in a world where the same GDP is produced by less and less working age people is a question so: using salaries as a basis for social securoty and public health care won't really work as well anymore. Taxing corporations and wealth (as in really wealthy, being a paper millionaire just because you happen to own a house does not qualify) is one option.
It's a member of the European parliament asking a question to the European Commission (the EU executive). The reply is linked at the top of the page, but note that both question and answer are by now quite dated.

> Overall, at the end of 2016, 630 North-Korean citizens were holding a valid residence permit in the EU for work purposes, predominantly in Poland (534).[1]

> When processing the applications for residence permits for work purposes, it is the responsibility of the national authorities to check that the conditions are fulfilled, in line with the EU acquis on legal migration, working conditions and on health and safety at work.

> The EU acquis on legal migration ensures that third-country nationals working in the EU benefit from equal treatment with nationals in terms of remuneration, access to social security systems and other conditions of employment. It is the responsibility of the national authorities, including the labour inspectorates, police and judicial authorities to ensure that the prohibition of forced labour is enforced.

> The Commission will keep monitoring the transposition and application of the different instruments by Poland.
My mother is a children's book illustrator. She has always done it by hand until very recently, mainly because she doesn't understand computers, but also because the watercolour effects she understood how to do by hand were tricky for her to achieve on the computer.

But I think she prefers using the computer now, the dual monitors, layers, and undo button are huge value adds.
