> In PowerShell, you have to write 'programs' to get things done, in Bash (as an example), you write commands to get things done

Huh? I use PowerShell (almost) daily. I do not write 'programs'. I use small steps, modify and repeat if the result was not as desired, just as with any REPL.

If you are referring to how one creates commands for the shell, PowerShell cmdlets can be written as PowerShell functions or as .NET classes. Not "programs". A very nice feature of PowerShell in that regard, is how the shell performs the parameter parsing. The cmdlet declares the parameters with name, type and optionally position, and the shell does any type coercion from e.g. string to the parameter type.

This means that PS cmdlets - unlike sh commands - contain no parameter parsing logic whatsoever - only the logic and declarative parameters. This also means that the information is readily available to the shell (or extensions) to be used for auto suggestions ("intellisense"), tab completion, early error checking etc.
When the social contract is not working for you, there is absolutely no reason to honor it.

The student loan system is a predatory system that practically forces young people into debt. The upside is not comparable: schools in the US are not That much better than any other developed country, and most of those countries provide an undergraduate education for free. Even Oxford and Cambridge, comparable to the top undergraduate education in the US, are only $14000 per year for UK students.

The terms are draconian, and practically enslave a student into indentured servitude. It is not hard to think that serves (as Chomsky calls it) a disciplinary measure to stop students from being too independent.

What I'd like to see is EVERY student in this country refuse to pay student loans. Just fucking refuse. Let the lenders collapse, it would serve them right for making predatory loans.
For people who have absolutely no technical skill and are extremmely business oriented, who want to build a high-tech concept but don't have the time to acquire the skills, I'd recommend to outsource the development of an MVP and start monetizing. If a technical co-founder sees that he is more likely to join.
The most "meta" book I've ever read. Fantastic approach to the methods of narrative in novel and kind of an homage to Borges and Bulgakov among other masters.
> But the poverty IS effecting the ability for these parents to feed their kids right, even if technically money isn't the limitation.
> my argument is that the effects of being poor are preventing these parents from the tools, time, education, patience

This is assuming the conclusion all over again, one level further out. How do you know that the lack of education, patience, etc is caused by lack of money?

> My main point is that poverty is creating an interconnected web of issues for kids.

There is a web of issues, that much I agree with. Lots of outcomes are worse for poor people, and one bad result interacts with another. But the fact that it is an interconnected web means it is harder, not easier, to indisputably assign all those effects to a single cause.
As the article stated, you can make the hardware do what you want to by changing the software (OS X to Windows or Linux); in other words, the hardware isn't the limitation, only the software. In my example, your computer's hardware is fully capable of being used for SSH, you just have to use the right software.

My point being, unless Apple sabotaged the hardware to make it only usable with their brand of displays, there's really no harm done here. You don't buy a 4K TV, hook it up to a 2005 era DVD player, and expect to see 4K resolution on the screen just because your TV had a plug that accepted the DVD player's cable. Just because the plug fits doesn't mean the capability is there. If you want MST over DP, use the software that allows for it, and if that means installing another OS, then so be it. Petition Apple to allow MST over DP as well as Thunderbolt and explain to them that they lost a Mac user to Windows or Linux because of this.

I hope that makes it easier to understand.

food only effects mental abilities when they are extremely deficient in them, which is virtually impossible in the united states. it may not fit your world view, but even junk food isn't going to destroy their brains - i grew up on junk food.

it really just comes down to one thing: valuing education. most people who are poor don't value education, and those values are passed on to children.

these types of studies are dangerous because they measure one thing (poverty) and try to garner one outcome from it and suggest claims of causation.
What should go in the else? A comment saying "// Do nothing here"?
Here is a perfect example of irrationality. These companies process data that the user wants them to process (emails and other conversations that the user can search from any of their devices). Not collecting that data would obviously (to everybody except irrational people like scribu) make those products impossible to implement. That same data that is so useful to the users is also useful to the FBI and anybody else investigating a person.
maybe the ploy should be to get to V3 as quickly as possible as this pyramid / growth rate collapses or cut costs in V2 (cheaper servers, more efficient code - if possible). This is an interesting thought to me nonetheless.

When I moved here ~12 years ago one of the things that surprised me the most was how comfortable companies were at flat out deceptive marketing. The lesson I learned very quickly was to assume any claim made on any package by any company was unsubstantiated and usually a lie.

What I took away from this is that as a consumer you have to be very engaged in evaluating your food choices. Unfortunately most people aren't, it seems. I continue to be surprised by how many otherwise intelligent people fall for claims of "low fat", "sugar free", "high calcium", "organic", "natural", "gluten free", "kale", other fads etc.

The other thing I learned is if you want to be a low-information consumer, there are far better countries in the world for you to live than the US, places where the government takes a stronger hand in enforcing population health and consumer protection. If you live in this country, you had better be smart and look out for yourself, because the companies and the government not only don't care, they are actively trying to screw you.

> I will absolutely keep my word when dealing with other people. I don't care about companies and businesses, because they are amoral and I will be amoral towards them. You're a fool if you treat companies like they're people, they don't treat you that way...

On the one hand, you say that you will absolutely keep your word when dealing with other people. On the other hand, all bets are off when you are dealing with companies and businesses, "because they are amoral."

How do you square these two claims with the fact that "business" is just another name for a collection of people who have decided to work together to achieve some outcome?

For example, if I'm a contract software engineer (in fact, I am) and you hire me to write some code for you, will you pay me when I deliver the work I agreed to deliver, because I am a person, or will you default on the payment because I am incorporated and therefore also a business?
> Let the lenders collapse

I think 2008 proved that this won't happen.
This kind of judgmental appeal to worse problems is completely counterproductive to solving western poverty, and ignores those who do not have access to abundant food, leisure, and health care. This can happen for a number of reasons, including stigmatization of welfare assistance, lack of awareness of available programs, incomes too high to qualify for aid but too low to live on (especially for those poor who do not have children), medical conditions that prevent one from reaching the social services before 5PM close (even things as simple and unappreciated as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, delayed sleep phase, and PTSD), or lack of transportation ($5 for food, or for bus/gasoline?).
How would one determine that "fluoride alert" is any different than e.g. the anti-vaxxers?
At least powershell has command names that describe what they do.

That's always debateable. Since nobody writes command names that are incomprehensible gibberish (to them), then I think if powershell command names describe (to you) what they do, then good. Almost certainly, a sizeable fraction of any populace will find those command names "unintuitive".

There are two contradictory claims:

1. The brain is like a neural network (which is purely logical) in the sense of ML.

2. Human brains cannot be explained by purely logical things.

The author also uses "concept," which is a technical term in computational learning theory with a specific meaning, as if it meant "intuition." How can you present "intuition" to a neural network? This distinction is swept under the rug. Not to mention all the recent work showing how easily neural networks can be fooled by slightly adversarially noisy inputs.

There are many grains of salt required for a useful discussion on neural networks. Instead of taking something we have no understanding of and making grand philosophical claims, we should be using the tools we have to understand that thing.
I think this is an incredibly bad way to try and study the mind. The neural net bears some passing resemblance to a neuron (both have graph connectivity), but the neuron is a biological structure with complex biochemical inputs and outputs. In addition it took us twenty or so years to proceed from simple feed forward neural networks to so-called "deep learning" neural networks. How shallow such networks are when measured against the complexity of an actual neural system is unknown. We may be standing at the shore of a great ocean with one foot in the water congratulating ourselves on our understanding.

> I'd be really interested in developing an agreed dialog about this. Will you send me an email?

I've sent you an email, as requested.

From the sound of it, though, the answer to my puzzlement, is that it doesn't apply to this universe. In which case, I don't think it's a problem at all. I'm quite happy to imagine mathematicians doing work on geometries that don't map to the real world, for example.

Mostly, then, is this just a question of presentation? I mean, if you said "this does not apply to the real world, but to some fictitious mathematical assumption that assumes things can be divided up infinitely," I don't think anyone would have an issue with it. It sounds like it's a problem to most people because it's presented as if it's a real-world result.

Or, at least, that seems to be the impression I get, given the other comments.

What I mean is, is there's a question of misdirection here? I.e. the theorem is presented as this non-intuitive thing that can't possibly be the case in the real world, then when someone asks what would happen if you tried it in the real world, the answer is "it's assuming some things that aren't true for the real world." Because if that's the case, I'm not sure I see the paradox. Assuming a weird set of ideas, I would expect you can come up with weird answers.

Here's a question, though, because something is nagging at me. And I'm going to assume this is a universe of infinite points and no atoms (as I understand it, at least).

Let's say we have a sphere of volume 4/3 pi r^3 = 100

Now you do your cuts, but don't reassemble yet. The sphere is still the original sphere, with all the shapes it has been cut into still in virtually their original spaces.

The total volume still has to be 100, right? I mean they all still fit into the original space.

So now, you immerse it in water, in a bathtub ready to overflow, and start manipulating the pieces.

At what point does the water level rise?

Yes, Nazis are bad, and war is bad.

Also you're ignoring "small band". France could not have fallen to a small number of troops. An area without a strong government could.
Permutation City, by Greg Egan. It's one of my favourites.
There are many other countries that have similar poor plumbing infrastructure like India, but no where near the rates of open defecation. I had a friend who took a summer job in Mexico with an NGO that built pit-style toilets, and the villagers used them.

Heck, even within India itself, the vastly different open defecation rates between Hindus and Muslims point to the fact that the main factor is cultural, not just logistical.

I would make the point that C++ unordered_map is not remotely optimized for this use case, so it is not surprising that it is less efficient. You normally would not use it for something like this. In fact, C++ unordered_map is not tunable enough to offer excellent performance for most use cases. It is a very generic implementation of an unordered_map.

In any code base where performance matters, most important use cases for unordered_map would be replaced with a purpose-built implementation (like with GraphEngine). Not only is it pretty trivial to design and implement custom maps for various use cases, you can usually ensure at least a 2X improvement across all relevant metrics relative to the standard library unordered_map.

Based on the relative metrics for GraphEngine and C++ unordered_map in this article, I would expect a purpose-built C++ implementation to be significantly faster than GraphEngine. I know that is not what is being measured but it in real-world C++ implementations, it is how most properly engineered architectures would do it.

By suggesting that people with schizophrenia have no control GP post is contributing to the culture of fear and ostrasizing that blights many people's lives.

Also: it is intensly frustrating that people leap to absurd extremes. Nothing in my post can be read as "it's okay to ostracize him".
I suffer from schizoaffective disorder and I don't behave and act as Terry does. It ruined my career when I developed it. I could still do the work, but once you are mentally ill people start treating you like crap. A lot of my symptoms are like Asperger's Syndrome but I have enough social skills to get married so I couldn't be that, so they used Schizoaffective Disorder instead.

If I was diagnosed with autism it would be different, Microsoft and others have plans to hire autistic people. But schizophrenia and autism get treated with the same medication.

I learned meditation from Buddhism to screen out negative thoughts. You can correct a schizophrenic. John Forbes Nash Jr. was a schizophrenic and he got better over the years until he died recently in a taxi crash.

But history, grammar, chemistry, physics and all those other subjects "are", according to most school curriculae. Arguably, those subjects are really not that necessary for most of the population to function in day-to-day situations, and yet we drill and drill it into students incessantly.

Financial sense, however, is very important for the majority of the population. Even more so for those not-so-fortunate to win the oh-so-often-complained-about "genetic" or "parental lottery".

The inner conspiracy theorist in me would have me convinced that not-teaching such important topics is the only way to keep the economy-engine churning. Efficiency and money-sense in the general populace are not things that will drive "growth" and "GDP". But I could be wrong.
