Essential reading for all prospective traders is Taleb's "Fooled by Randomness."

Markets are full of feedback loops, so you can't expect the same results with "paper" backtesting or "paper" forward testing as with real trades, especially in larger amounts.

With such paper testing you can discover and fool yourself with amazing high-probability, high-earning strategies that come with the hidden surprise of low probability catastrophic losses.

For example, many naive gamblers think that a strategy with a 45% chance to win, combined with betting to cover losses, will nearly always succeed because the odds of losing ten times in a row seem low. However, when the inevitable 11th loss occurs, it can be devastating.
It's not.

These countries were not thriving democracies. So saying "if it wasn't for the US, these people would be living in a democracy" is false.

No, you got it exactly backwards.

A thing has shape and form and so many other aspects just by the virtue of being.

Giving a name to it doesn’t change the thing in the slightest, and mostly tells about the namer, not the namee.

One of the most infuriating things today is large swathes of people getting this wrong like you, and then acting on their limited view.

These are great guesses, but it doesn't look like they match with what's known about the earlier forms of these letters.

Particularly, the degree of sharpness or roundness of a particular letter may have changed a lot over time. I guess it's still possible that there's been some kind of psychological effect at certain times, but it doesn't look like it was a strong and consistent factor in the history of the alphabet.
I had one of these and quite liked it. Then one day I plugged my phone in before bed as a million times before and the cable display popped and started emitting smoke.
By exaggerating the example and moving out of shared constructs I was trying to get wegfaw... to see how it is to be "annoyingly sensitive". That even though "hit by a bus" is "well-understood", it could still invoke very graphic memories if for example someone actually has lost someone in a bus accident. Sometimes words are not just words.

But i could imagine someone who states that it's his "right" to be as irreverent as he likes to whomever he wants to is not open to the concept of other people's perspective.

And just to be clear, I wasn't saying that you should use my example instead. :D

These tools, like any tool of the type, bring your code to the 90th percentile. This is good for nine out of ten people, because it improves their code. It's also good for the tenth person, when he has to read the code of the other nine.

If you're the tenth person, and you work alone, or with other fastidious people, you won't like the formatter. That's fine, you don't need to use it.
Breaking-in is the traditional approach. Horse whisperer style is more effective and takes better advantage of the horses domestic nature.

It’s a spectrum, some cattle breeds are pretty wild. Dogs are special.

One good measure of domestication would be to compare with zebras which are considered relatively untamable - as in unlike horses they’ll always maintain a violent streak. Ponies tend to be more violent than horses.
That's fine for your solo projects. It's definitely not okay at work.
Although in general I also count the difference in months on my fingers, this particular example from March to September just automatically pops a "six" because they are both ends of financial quarters.

The OS won't let them track your location when you're not using it. They'll profile you based on your credit card info whether you use the app or not. And they need bulk data for psychological profiling, it doesn't make any difference whether you as an individual opt in or out.

The mom-and-pop places that people who make a fuss about these kind of business practices tend to love do all the things that those people claim to hate - track their customers, try to figure out how much money they have, offer special treatment to particular customers, notice where else their customers spend their time - so I've never quite got what exactly people are objecting to. But hey, if you don't want the discount, more for me.
and the extremely difficult to access mechanism for moving anywhere from one to three small, perpetually damp pipes into position inside the bowl, themselves accessorized with numerous little hinges, cavities, crevices to collect and accumulate offal in effectively unclean-able (but mostly out-of-sight) recesses.

Although initially intrigued, after staying in Japan for a few weeks I came to despise those overcomplicated, ironically un-hygenic toilet systems - especially in public facilities, and tried to avoid using them as much as possible.

On the other hand I greatly preferred the old fashioned squat style setup, I would seem to be a lot more practical of a solution on a number of leven.
This is an interesting phenomenon in language change. There is the question of what sounds are legal in the language (or what sound combinations, and in what contexts), and there's the separate question of which of those possibilities actually exist. For example, syllable-initial "th" is never followed by L in English, but the sound sequence generally doesn't pose difficulties to English speakers, who are already familiar with words like e.g. "three", "shrink", and "sleep".

For a sound to occur in a language, there are two requirements:

The obvious one is that it has to be possible.

But the less-obvious one is that its precursor in the ancestral language must have been possible there. This is what causes strange gaps where it looks like a sound should be possible, and yet it never occurs.

Quite a long time ago I worked at a company developing games for mobile phones in J2ME. The J2ME runtime had a lot of (different) quirks issues on different phones and the phones where also quite different. We used the C preprocessor a lot to make porting the games for different models easier.

This discussion is not about if the current prediction methods are good or not, it's about if we should even try to develop these methods to begin with. How many cancer researchers would there be today if you had to cure one yourself, with no grants or outside ressources before you are even allowed to enter the field? Probably not a lot.

Your argument is a self fullfilling profecy. You justify preventing them to research how to predict earthquake by saying that they have not already predicted one.

It's not a solution to all of Takeout's problems, but if you just care about backing up email within a Google Workspace, check out Got Your Back:

https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back

It is, I believe, written by a Google employee. It's a really great CLI tool that allows you to dump mailboxes to disk as a bunch of text files. You can also restore them to another account. Lots of flexibility as well.

I gave up on Takeout and Google's own Data Migration tool, both of which I found just too flaky and inconsistent - my experience was not dissimilar to that in the OP.

There would be beggars. It's less obvious that there would be homeless, assuming you exclude the Amorites, but it's possible.

But their numbers would be low. The number of homeless and beggars you get is a function of how much support exists for a homeless / beggar lifestyle. Establishing institutions to help them creates them in large numbers.

I'm basing my assumptions my own experience, both learning to code and teaching others to code, which isn't nothing to me, but may well be nothing to you. (No shade intended, that's totally valid.)

I would certainly be interested in the results of a study that put a simpler interpreter / compiler and a language reference in front of motivated non-programmers, but I strongly suspect that the amount of elegant tail recursion we'll see will be limited (and I'd very much expect there to be a correlation between that and a training in mathematics).

Imho, data comes from experiments, but experiments come from hypotheses, and hypotheses come from experience.

There are some neat videos and images in the repo: https://github.com/ccli3896/RLWorms

Basically they took a worm and hijacked the genetic machinery such that a subset of neurons could be activated or inhibited via a light sensitive protein.

Then they hooked up an unsupervised RL algorithm to a camera, and it learned how to control the lights to direct the worm towards a goal like food.

The learned algorithms were able to navigate obstacles and generally enhanced the capability of the worm while coexisting with the remaining uncontrolled neurons.

Speeches of politicians is just one aspect of it. This technology makes it easier to both deny the reality and construct new ones. Beyond the horizon of your own eyes, there will be only subjective facts, fed to you by the media of your choosing. Is war in Ukraine raging, or is it all fake? It's a matter of opinion, not a fact you can establish (apart from shipping you and your discussion partner there to see it with your own eyes).
I've seen toposes declared as some fundamental notion, and I'd very much like to understand them.

Is there a short definition somewhere out there of what a topos is in terms of first-order predicate logic? Something I can understand without reading through 200 pages of preliminary material first?

I've seen statements that such a formulation in first-order logic would be misguided, because category theorists have their own notion of logic, but I'd like to understand it using my own notion of logic first.
I'd be very interested to hear of other books and articles like this, too.

Edwin Hutchins's Cognition in the Wild is one of my favorite books. It's very technical and ethnographic, but less historical. It doesn't deal with code, but that's because it's about the nitty gritty of navigation on a Navy ship (pre digital computing), and (here's the historical aspect) it compares this to some traditional Polyponesian navigational practices.

The closest thing off the top of my head are titles in MIT Press's Platform Studies series, like Racing the Beam, about the Atari 2600, which is historical and technical. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262539760/racing-the-beam/

Maybe Casey O'Donnell's Developer's Dilemma? https://direct.mit.edu/books/monograph/4469/Developer-s-Dile...

If you make a Venn diagram with history, ethnography, technical details, and code as different circles, the central intersection may not be huge, but I think there may be a lot more if you remove some of the constraints. But I want to see more work at this intersection, and I hope more people do it.

Why? I saw the diagrams in homepage and reasoned the code will occupy a fraction of the real estate, not to mention advantages of version control, copy paste etc. AST walking programs can turn code like `a = slider(min=0, max=10)` into a widget or visualize control flow.

As a counter argument, every mammal born outside of a domesticated setting/structure is quite wild. Horses may seem wild because they are fast movers.

Sheep and Cows will also act wild if not domesticated; they are just not fast by nature.

Even humans can be on the extreme wild spectrum if not domesticated. There is plenty of evidence even to this day.

> The OS won't let them track your location when you're not using it.

I can't speak to IOS but it will on android devices (with some limitations https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background...) If you give an app permission to access nearby wifi devices it can track you that way as well. If you give an app permission to use bluetooth it can track your location using that too.

> They'll profile you based on your credit card info whether you use the app or not.

They might, but they'll have a lot less data to connect with your purchase history. You consent to a lot more data collection by installing their app than you do just by walking into their store and buying something,

> The mom-and-pop places that people who make a fuss about these kind of business practices tend to love do all the things that those people claim to hate - track their customers, try to figure out how much money they have, offer special treatment to particular customers - so I've never quite got what exactly people are objecting to.

No one wants to be tracked by mom-and-pop places either. All this data collection means that you aren't getting a discount, you're actually being screwed over and the data they collect will continue to be used against you for the rest of your life in any way that they think will let them take more of your money or would otherwise benefit them. They aren't collecting that data and paying for the collecting/storage/use of that data for your benefit.

"Special treatment" doesn't mean what you think it does. This kind of surveillance leads to discriminatory pricing (see for example https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-special-price-just-f... and wendy's recent attempt at surge pricing) which companies are desperate to get consumers to accept because it stands to make them much much richer at your expense. Don't fall for this! I promise that you won't feel like you're getting "special treatment" if they get their way.
It’s not just you. Category theory has been called “abstract nonsense” for a very long time and even referred to as such by Saunders Mac Lane [1], cofounder of the discipline itself! The subject is just very difficult to motivate because it’s so abstract that it’s hard to see the relevance of its results.

Black supports ignoring sections with a `# fmt: off` directive, and a hand-formatted constant table is a common use for that:

This one is pure pain. Thankfully, the only implementation I have encountered that does this is Heirloom's [1]. I doubt POSIX will do it, but I wish they would just define this behaviour out of existence for the built-ins as it is a minefield when trying to write prose (or comments, for that matter).

As for outputs being interpreted iteratively, there is no way around it that I know of. To make invocation more explicit, I have just settled on prefixing macros with an underscore and it has worked well so far as it is uncommon in English text, HTML, and CSS.
