Yea, it's really tough to find an analysis course. I looked around online for a long time and never found one. Ended up picking it up as a regular college class and learned a lot. I don't understand why nobody has bother recording analysis lectures and posting them as they have with other subjects. It seems the only autodidactic way to learn analysis at this point is to download a book and dive in. If you're looking for pure math though, http://www.extension.harvard.edu/open-learning-initiative/ab... is a really great Abstract Algebra course taught by Gross at Harvard though.
Yes... Legislating gender-neutral advertising for children's toy is clearly the solution for the tech sector gender gap.

Give me a break. That is a violation of the first amendment.

I don't "get" why anyone cares about the "gender gap". Who cares? If there is overt sexism, obviously that is wrong, but there is no law (nor should their be) that every field of employment should be an even 50/50 gender split. Men and women are different, and differences should be embraced. We shouldn't be legislating society to fit a utopian ideal of exact gender equality. Biologically human genders aren't equal.

No the PR that was chosen ensures that it doesn't commit it - so it can be setup fresh on start. So it is up to each container's startup to set it up as it needs before continuing.

Dart is a language worth considering if you want something with static types that compiles to js.
In the case of Apple or Microsoft, most of the value (r&d) is generated in the US, so it would be fair to tax them there. Other countries already have sales tax.
I largely agree with you, and can only think of one minor argument: Perhaps the implicit feature is the booming message from the toy industry, not to girls, but to the parents and grandparents who buy toys. The latter may be the people who need to be reassured that engineering is OK for girls. (Or science, math, music, whatever).
Do you mean aesthetically or the proposed specifications?
I wish I could use the same shenanigans that these companies get away with using to avoid paying their taxes. I could just imagine my conversation with the IRS:

"No, no, no, IRS, you don't understand! My employer didn't hire me. They hired my fictitious doppleganger who lives in the Bahamas, where there's no income tax. I license my name and know-how to him for a monthly fee. My invisible clone then does all the work remotely and earns the pay check. But, since we're really the same person, he should be able to transfer those earnings here to me tax free! Why should I have to wait for a tax holiday to use all this money? It's so unfair!!!"

These companies pulling this B.S. need to man up and pay their taxes like the rest of us.
Just wtf is this. Mozilla now jumping on the "omigod teh childr0n" bandwagon, too?

Any reasonably educated child can easily disable all of these "safety features" (e.g. boot the machine at night from USB stick...). These "features" are nothing but placebos for parents too incompetent to educate their children.
I think Python had one chance to do what you suggest - remove bizarre behaviors. This chance was Python 3.

This is also one of the things that bothers me a bit about Rust. The complexity of the compiler means that writing an actual language spec is hard, and the spec is very much tied to "what rustc's borrow checker is capable of".
If you value time spent writing code higher than preventing bugs, I have doubts about the size of codebases you were maintaining. The reality I have experienced is that working with a large codebase in Python (talking 100kloc+ here, and teams larger than 3) is an absolute nightmare. Lack of explicit typing on argument values and returns means that everytime you add an argument to a function, or move things around, you are frantically grepping trying to find all the callers and hoping that you caught all of them. Add in the more functional aspects such as passing functions around and lambdas and *args and kwargs and different return types depending on function behavior and it gets very ugly. Given the fact that adding functionality and refactoring are the most common activities when working with a large existing codebase, this becomes very old, very quickly. I suspect that Guido's newfound interest in explicit typing coincides with his employment at Dropbox and Google and realizing the very real pain that comes with maintaining large Python codebases.
I realise that it's become common to trust cloud services with your IP, but as expensive and onerous (and often impossible) it would be to prove that someone ripped off your code, it seems foolish to develop anything proprietary or patentable on a platform like this one, regardless of what legalese they put in their TOS.

It would be far more sensible for Codeanywhere to offer / license a VM or Docker appliance that you could host on your own server, that you could monitor its network traffic, and so on. This way you could have some sense of security.

When a chunk of source code can ultimately be licensed for millions of dollars, you probably want to have a bit more protection for your IP. Not being so much paranoid as practical.
I like this article a lot. I think it's important and instructive, especially for beginners, to think about machine learning from this high level perspective, because that's what gets drowned out in books and papers, and it's what's required to be able to come up with your own solutions.

If I didn't like the article I wouldn't come here to say this: The text needs urgent proofreading. And I mean some of the sloppiness like extra words or missing blanks on the left-hand side of braces, not necessarily the kind of grammar errors that non-native speakers are bound to make.
The uplifting air currents theory sounds like something unprobable for me. Since Europa (one of Jupiter's moons) is known to have an ice cape, and water is the origin for life, I trust more the theory that suggests that life forms have been traveling through our solar system in asteroids and other celestial bodies. This discovery increases the probability of there being some kind of life form in this moon, and it's definitely worth exploring (sendind a rover or something like that).

I'm so excited to finally know that we are not alone here, and it's even more exciting that it's something as close as the ISS! This can really take our understanting of the universe to the next level!

the very concept of structured courses in education is because we don't know what to study to understand XXX things.When it comes from a teacher , it comes with a dependency graph drawn by a person who knows the course.If proper knowledge gathering is considered an objective.This dependency is a natural consequence of subject-matter than an optional one .

For e.g. for someone to learn abstract algebra ,its highly suggested that they take up linear algebra first.As for me, i've always the dependency graph quite seriously .May be the gifted brains can leave linear algebra and directly take up abstract algebra , is that so?
I'm the author of Gura. Thank you for commenting on this language.

I found some of the comments are mentioning about related points each other, so I issue an independent comment instead of responding to each.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn't know about Icon and APL at the time I decided to develop Gura. Now, I'm being encouraged by the fact that these languages have already paid efforts to sophisticate repeating process, because that teaches me there certainly are some people who need that as I do. Unintentionally, Gura ends up to be what tries to inherit these language's feature just like today's major OOP languages are affected by their ancestors like Smalltalk.

Do you think that an effort to sophisticate repeating process has much less significance than OOP paradigm? I don't. Repeat is a quite primitive part of programming and is likely be a critical bottleneck of performance. Gura's mapping feature is aimed to eliminate side effects from a repeating loop so that it can be optimized for higher performance with parallel computing.

Actually, the topic of parallel computing is currently just an idea, and you can't get any benefit regarding it for now. It's for the future. In addition to mapping features, Gura has some unique mechanisms like a flow control generating an iterator and a quoted value that can get an expression without evaluation. I'd be happy if some of them inspire you to try this language.
Python 3 should have been a from the ground rewrite of a new core runtime written to a language specification. Maybe we can get that in Python 4.
Bahahah....

Any site using captchas for anti-bot security is already broken. There are plenty of web services to solve captchas for fractions of pennies.

I wonder how this scales? Would it be possible to get bulk data on phone locations? You could imagine an unscrupulous company repeatedly grabbing the location data for every phone on a list to improve their own customer profiling or advertising.
Android does as well. (Source, worked in an Android development company, those alerts are really annoying when you are in the same room as a dozen test devices).
> Which is not to say I’d be happy about the NSA using this method to collect location data. But better them than the Iranians.

I have the opposite concern. There's really not much that Iran can do to an American citizen continents away. The NSA, on the other hand, can target, track, and detain me without any recourse.
Is that a typo? I read that as '[The type named] "type" claims that it's a subclass of object'

I think you're taking this the wrong way. Ideally, most of what I've learned could be used under different scenarios. I mean, you can learn programming to hack music, understand data or create an intelligence to do some of your work for you. There are different applications, and everyone has a different end goal in mind.

If you allow for this kind of modularity, it allows people to adapt their courses to what they want to make in the end.

With regards to the pumping lemma or the master theorem, the point is, no one is forcing people _not_ to learn bout these concepts. However, people should have the right to choose what they learn to meet their own goals. If you can't make an informed decision by the time you're at college regarding what you need to study or what's important, then you need to think long and hard since life's about making decisions like this.

I mean, I had a choice to take automata theory. I did so, because I wanted a better understanding of how computation originated. I'm pretty sure others would be interested as well.
I guess I'm lucky that the shirts from Uniqlo, one of the fast fashion giants, fit me quite well (though I have to go to Japan to buy them since I've heard that the US sizes differ from the Japan sizes, naturally).

That being said, I had large thighs from my soccer days, so I get to experience the bad side of the situation as well. I still don't have a very good solution for jeans :(

I agree. I don't like this either. It's due to my poor sense of designing an image. I'm ready to replace it immediately if a better one is available.
Hackers Claim Playstation network take-down

I wonder if separate markets for boy and girl toys has a couple of straightforward economic benefits:

1. Two isolated markets are less competitive than a single consolidated market -- possibly enabling higher prices.

2. It's a sort of planned obsolescence, due to the fifty-fifty chance of having to go out and buy a whole new set of toys when the second kid is born.
What Does Your Startup Do?
All good programmers have done a compiler as a project. Sadly, there are many many retard-nigger planet of the apes programmers who stare confused, "It's impossible! Nobody can do a compiler."
I would be interested in seeing if there was any difference in rates of girls that played with Lego growing up and whether or not they went into engineering.

I remember sitting with my class of 120 on the first day with my Mechanical Engineering class. One of the profs asked us how many of us played with Lego growing up. I believe that every single hand in the room was raised to that question (about 20% of those were women).

My suspicion would be that Lego is pretty much universal and that very few children grow up not playing with it at least occasionally.

The Complete Guide to Mobile Optimization
If you have ever programmed in a language with strict enforcement of something like a "maybe" or "option" type then you'll see that it's fairly trivial to have a separate type for a nullable pointer and a non-nullable pointer.

It is essentially brain-dead that the type Foo really means "Either a Foo, or null" Failure to properly check for null is a source of many, many bugs, and there is an almost trivial way (assuming you're creating a new language, like C# was) to completely prevent it in statically typed languages that was well known when C# was invented.
MOOCs and the archaic university structure in general should shift to this.

There's obviously something really important to have in mind and it's that knowledge is cummulative, meaning that in order to learn something you need to have some previous knowledge of something else, which would be a disadvantage for what MIT is proposing.

The articles and songs analogy is really accurate and necessary to point out. It's not that the internet is creating an attention deficit disorder in us, it's that it's giving us new alternatives on how to consume different products that satisfy us more.

The best excercise to take learning to a whole new level in any kind of field is "learning by doing", building something. Modules should not be focused in throwing lots of information to the student and ask him to replicate it, but it should be more about both teacher and students learning together, discovering and inventing new things.

But the device detects movement doesn't it? Is it not able to detect seismic activity or any other force? So if a person was in a car accident or in an earthquake that would be something that can be measured.

I don't know about useful -- physics is not currently as useful to a programmer as, say, probability theory -- but I'd recommend volume 1 to anyone ready to follow it, just for the mind-stretching. Volume 2 is longer, harder, and less different in its approach to its main topic, electromagnetism. Volume 3 is short, unique, and doesn't depend too much on Volume 2 -- I was able to profit from it without mastering volume 2. (Nowadays there probably are better intros to quantum mechanics, though. I don't think there was any one really good intro when I studied it back in the 80s. The most enlightening were Feynman vol. 3, Dirac's Principles, and another whose authors I've forgotten.)

Added: There's only one other introductory physics text by a historically first-rank physicist, and that was Maxwell in the 19th century. (Maybe there were earlier ones, like Euler's books on mechanics, which I haven't read. Einstein's Relativity was a popularization like Feynman's QED or The Character of Physical Law rather than like the Feynman lectures. Newton's Principia has also been used as an intro text, which seems hilariously inappropriate.) The lectures are also unusually full of the this-is-how-a-physicist-thinks thing which is hard to pin down.
Did they really dispose any of the users data though? It appears they displayed a chart.

That graphic, it could be argued, is based on an entirely new data set.

So while individual data sets may been used at some point behind the scenes, it's not like those data sets are the ones being disposed.
I'm a bit surprised to hear there is such a thing as lab-grown human brains... sounds like high potential for controversy there.
MOOCs are great for autodidacts who want to learn small lumps of information, and who generally already know how to educate themselves. They're not great for creating balanced professionals, or for non-autodidacts.

Plenty of universities offer some flexibility in their courses anyway, so there already is some modularity. Some base subjects (if you're doing medicine, you need biochemistry, for example), and some electives.

The thing that function annotation syntax is good for is the ability to catch errors before they hit your production server at 2AM on a Tuesday. If you can describe the types that a function accepts and returns, violations of those rules can be caught by static analysis such as pylint and let you know before you commit. The current approach in Python after refactoring a large chunk of code is to grep through all the existing callers, fix what you can find, run the tests and hope for the best.

Parameterization: Part 2
the issue is that they're collecting this data in the first place.

I cant help but wonder how much it would cost to get the sleep records of a competitor of mine - or if it's not for sale, how much the data would be worth on the black market if their servers got hacked.

I have doubts this information is being kept as securely as it should be, that's where my concern lies.
I think it's a fine line. The article did mention that the robots were guided by an algorithm, and traffic lights are, too, controlled by algorithms, so what's to say this situation isn't the same as following traffic lights?

There are programming languages in the App Store. A couple I've tried are:

- LuaBox Pro https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/iluabox-pro/id437557082?mt=8

- Lisping https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/lisping/id512138518?mt=8

- Ruby for iOS https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/ruby-for-ios/id535080197?mt=...

The sticking point is that they can't download substantial new functionality. So you can't make it easy to import scripts from elsewhere to be run as is they were native apps.

This is probably to avoid 'trojan horse' apps which appear to be a REPL but are really meant to be bit torrent clients or bitcoin wallets or ... anything else Apple wouldn't let in the front door.
Who's going to work on that, and most importantly bless it as official and unite people? I haven't seen anything from Guido on the criticisms of Python 3 and CPython, like this post and other unicode complexity complaints in Python 3. It seems that a lot of people who like Python because it lets them move fast hit a wall when they encounter main Python developers as moving so slow as to consider it okey to have two major versions of a language competing until 2020.
Imagine when NSA starts to publish such charts. They have really COOL data.
iOS First. Android Much, Much Later
Thanks, but that's not enough. The error seems due to the fact that `meter` is passed as an argument to `1` which is not a function, and indeed I don't see how that could be valid haskell code (unless there's some language flag I should enable, but unfortunately the wiki/docs of unittyped doesn't seem to be comprehensive enough)
Intelligence is pretty much a result of health (just as beauty, that's why there are a lot of beautiful and intelligent people, that could even explain why IQ correlates with life expectancy). Eventhough medicine has and still is advancing a lot, we could say that exponential population growth and the increase of inequality are making people less healthy. In addition to this, ,just as the article suggests, kids are eating junk food and watching dumb stuff all the time which contributes even more to the decrase in human intellect.

All this years I thought human intelect would constantly increase for ever, but this article certainly gives really good arguments as for why not.

Intelligence is more environment dependent that genetically dependent, we really need to change the environment if we want smarter future generations in this planet.
