Probably because it's taught badly. From one of the other responses:

> you just need to assume the sub-calls do the correct thing.

This is technically correct (and I remember hearing it when first learning recursion), but it's not useful. The two most common problems were not having a good stopping condition, and handling two or more levels per call because they didn't understand at what point the function should call itself.

I think the first thing that needs to happen is just draw a diagram of common data structures and show how they can be looked at as a recursive data structure. Like a tree is a node and two more trees, or a list is a node and another list. As odd as it may sound to some people, I think starting with something that has a visual representation like that (even if it's more complicated in code) is easier to understand than pure math like recursive fibonacci.

This would also double as an answer to the "why would I use this when I can just use a loop?" question. Just challenge the student to walk a tree with loops instead of recursion to see how much more work it is.

A "filesystem" is really just a key:value store, in the unix system the key is hierarchical and each value can have more than one key. The real unix innovation was to combine all such stores present on a system into one tree. The point is to have a nice human accessible address to get your data at.

Now, theoretically, all memory access on the system could be done via one simple api. and as plan9 showed most IO can be done via that same api. It is sort of like having all networks be IP or all protocols be HTTP. The implementation may not be ideal but having that narrow waist is a huge quality of life improvement.

Realistically, it is only used for items that need to persist outside of a processes run cycle.

I know that Toyota is looking at low-end Hilux and trying to determine if those low-end trucks can enter the US market.

I dunno, Toyota's got a great car / SUV reputation. But Toyota's truck reputation cannot keep up with Ford or GM. It'd be nice for Toyota fans I guess, but its hard to beat the Ford Maverick + Ford's reputation in trucks.
SLAs with public cloud providers don't mean what people think they mean (not saying you do, but i bet a lot of other readers do).

SLAs just mean "if you can prove that we didn't meet our SLA, we'll give you a refund, and by refund we mean some % of your bill for some duration".

It's not nothing - it's obviously $$s, and so teams get measured and have goals about improving their availability and latency.

But most customers don't seek out those refunds, and so there is no real pressure connected between the SLA and their true performance (which is often much BETTER than the SLAs, but not because of the SLAs)
I think the difference in cooking oil is in how the oil is used. What I hear abour Chinese households in US is that their kitchens tend to become more greasy, because their cooking style tends to produce more oil fumes, and fume extractors tend to be less common in US than in their home countries.
> Because Ruby and especially RoR is a strict downgrade in every dimension compared to .NET.

And that line of thinking is damaging in the tech world. There is no one ring to rule them all. Each tool, language, framework has a place - everything has tradeoffs.

I've worked with enough .NET world to know what the tradeoffs would have been.

For instance the critical library that enabled this piece of functionality, the nearest thing in .NET world looks to have 1 star on github, last updated 4 years ago. The ruby gem has 1.8k stars, tonnes of commits and upto date.

So if you were to implement that in .NET you would be (a) hitting the books (b) re-writing that library or (c) doing a hugely in-effecient/naive implementation that wouldn't scale.

In RoR land - drop in the gem and be prototyping that afternoon.

Sure if I was VC backed, and had money to burn, it might be a bit more interesting to use .NET - if were targetting more enterprise oriented clients and potentially wanted an on prem option, then yeah - .NET. Wanting more access to developers in our country - .NET, that's the predominant market. Etc etc.

In our use case RoR isn't a downgrade.

Statistics Ph.D. here. This phenomenon is the scourge of our existence in the big-data age. It's why we have endless stories about miracle medical diagnostic methods that can tell everything about you from a retina image or a recording of your voice or gait or whatever. When the method fizzles out in practice, there's not an equivalent news story. And don't get me started on those annoying personality tests for employers claiming to predict job performance.

Everyone can now do a train-test split, use a canned algorithm to get a classifier with good apparent accuracy on the hold-out data set. Like, yeah, so what. That accuracy score is only a fair estimate of how accurate the method will be out in the general population under the most restrictive circumstances (keywords: the generalization problem, the representative training set problem, stationarity, data drift/model drift). And when the subject of study is humans rather than atoms - humans that can change their behaviors in response to being studied and classified (keywords: Hawthorne effect, Goodhart's law) - all bets on future predictive ability are off.

The paper talks about decorrelating age/gender/ethnicity. Statistical corrections (keywords: causal methods, confounding, instrumental variables) aren't magic; they should be thought of as best-efforts attempts to cope with an ultimately intractable problem, not as something that, if done right, solves it. So, it's perfectly possible that the vision model is picking up on subtler demographic clues.

Finding apparent patterns that are correlated with any trait of interest in the population has always been easy, and is now essentially automated. That's superstition / stereotyping / phrenology / pseudoscience, all the stuff humanity worked so hard to get away from.
Designing a clean experiment to isolate a consistent effect that's akin to a law of nature? That's science, and it's hard, and the scientific method and statistical methodology can only tell you the pitfalls, not give a recipe for making discoveries.

For most things - we find patterns. They work for prediction for a while, and then they don't. Finding genuine causal phenomena from the data - that's a rare and precious thing.

(no blame on this study's authors; they're highlighting an curious phenomenon, not suggesting that that it be used for decision making or claiming to have found a law of society or biology)
And they'd act like you were imagining things if you said otherwise. It was like:

- (email) Delta: Your flight has been cancelled, and we are unable to rebook you onto another at this time. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Here is a voucher for a travel credit within the next year.

- (phone call) Me: Hi, I got this e-mail. I would like a refund for the flight.

- Delta: Oh, well, right now we're offering a travel voucher.

- Me: I saw that. I don't want a voucher. I paid for a flight, and that flight didn't happen, so now I want my money back.

- Delta: Well, that's not our policy.

- Me: Actually, I'm reading your current contract of carriage for domestic flights right now, and it says that you DO give refunds for cancellations upon request. And that makes sense, because I'm also looking at the federal regulations, which say that you are required to do that. So it is definitely your policy to offer refunds upon request. And I'm requesting.

- Delta: Oh. Well. I can put in a ticket, and we'll see what happens, but I can't guarantee anything...

and then a little while later I got a notice saying my refund was approved. It was a ridiculous runaround that never should have been allowed in the first place.
> Over 50% of Asian American women who have lung cancer have never smoked

Is this really that surprising, considering that only 2.6%[1] of Asian American women smoke? If 0% of Asian American women smoked, then 100% of the lung cancer cases would come from non-smokers. As it is, the group with the lowest percentage of smokers should have the highest percentage of lung cancer cases in non-smokers.

The article gives no absolute rates to compare, and I can't easily find the article they quote for the rising rates of lung cancer in Asian American women. Given the poor interpretation of the subheading, I wouldn't be surprised if it was entirely explained by aging, or was a reversion to the mean from a very low baseline.

As a kid, when I asked an uncle why he was always reading, he said "we read to know we are not alone". I don't know if he was quoting someone else, but I took it to mean that there are things that we think privately and don't share in any other medium but fiction. Not in conversation, film, etc.

We've all had that moment when reading fiction where we instantly recognise something and think to ourselves, 'huh, so I'm not the only one!'

For this reason, I think that fiction is an invaluable aspect of human communication.

I personally think this line of thought is due to people just not accepting how profitable advertising is to the end business. We're taking a clear and massive increase in profits that dwarf advertising costs. People don't advertise on meta/Google because they are duped by bots or some conspiracy between ads marketplace and marketing teams to hide the fraud. They advertise because their bottom line goes up and it's clear and direct. I once worked for a company where the only reason we'd ever drop some amount of advertising was due to supply constraints. We sold too much at certain points! It really does work.
It doesn't double the security surface area if the abstracted API goes through the low-level API. The outer one is just chrome, and so the risks of screwing something up there is far lower.

> Imagine replicates being a thing you have to think about when debugging a program. Like in software, running your code again with no changes after it just failed is insanity.

This is a common requirement in software QA. "Can we reproduce the issue? Does it happen every time? Is it sensitive to timing of user actions, or anything else? What part of the initial state of the system could affect this outcome? What other external or environmental changes will alter the result?"

Sometimes, the initial failure seems to have an obvious answer, and sometimes an immediate code change is the best first move. But replicating a behaviour does is insanity.
> All of this stems from religion, yet our system is supposed to have a separation of church and state.

Restrictions on prostitution are pretty far downstream of core church-state separation territory. The original constitutional prohibition is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" ("establishment clause") "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" ("free exercise clause").

The core territory of the establishment clause is that there can't be an official state church or an officially designated state religion. Later court cases extended that by analogy to require fairly broad religious neutrality, as well as to avoid various forms of "entanglement" between church and state.

But so far, there's no official interpretation of it that implies that laws that were originally motivated by religious sentiment or religious morality are invalid. (If I remember correctly, Scalia's dissent in Obergefell expressed concern that the majority was gesturing in that direction, although the majority definitely didn't phrase it that way.) Particularly, there's no clear constitutional law that all legislation always has to be justifiable in terms of addressing a harm (usually that only comes into play when another constitutional right is implicated).

I agree with the idea of legalizing prostitution and I agree with the idea of separation of church and state, but I don't think you can directly get one from the other.
