pretty sure my problem is >50% of my pay goes on rent :P

The original point was "why would I learn a new thing, when I already know something which works". The response "some people don't have something they already know" is valid.

You're really bringing up a separate point which is "should we be reinventing the wheel?", I think that's a fair point, but it's not a response to the original commentator.

it's a fantastic reference book - not great for learning the fundamentals

Doing this stuff will take time, you can later remove sequences where the person later developed symptoms

It's a bit slow to start, intro ends around 5 minutes, but probably the best thing I've seen on COVID-19 so far.

The batteries are powered by solar panels. In either case the same arguments apply - space is notoriously low power.

Phones can't use directional antennas, otherwise you'd have to point them at radio towers. Using phased array antennas in which directionality is software controlled, there's a trade off between size of antenna and how much you can focus the beam - it wouldn't work in a phone (and would be too expensive anyway).

In the UK I've heard it said you can make a subject access request (SAR) for any information a company holds on you. This would include interview notes for example.

I assume something similar applies in the rest of europe due to GDPR?

It might fix what the OP has, whether or not you call that narcissism. I'd say they've already shown self-reflection by posting their question

And when initially prototyping new code I'd also normally have both code editor and notebook up at the same time.

I think adding feedback for marking cells as dependant on each other might be a good idea.

I'd also love code completion in notebooks.

I think the cleaning and code reuse problems can easily be mitigated by putting functions into libraries and using auto reload.

My normal workflow is hack something in a notebook until it runs, then refactor and put in a library I import with auto reload. I work on production ML and I use this for both software development and research.

Seems like a PR price for GEM pawnbrokers.

Wow this looks great, thanks!

I'd be interested in a citation, first thought which springs to mind is sample size and size of the bias.

I don't disagree with most of what you say, but I do disagree with your implied conclusion.

Setting a baseline of limiting/banning provably false information is a good thing. Yes, it doesn't stop all forms manipulation of people towards any given agenda, but it certainly doesn't make it easier, and means things have to be at least slightly anchored to reality.

Just because it doesn't completely solve the problem doesn't mean it's not an improvement.

As someone who has studied biology, there are lots of edge cases where it is far from clear cut what biological gender a person is.

Another example is rockets. Most fuel in rockets is used to propell the remaining fuel up the gravity well

Although I agree that raising pension age disadvantages the poor, not for that reason. Life expectancy is not the same as age most people live to.

If you compare the percentage mortality between the ages 65-75 it's pretty equal (about 1%) both for the UK [1] and Glasgow [2]. Lower life expectancy looks to me due to much greater death rates in the 25-40 range.

Raising the pension age hurts the poor, not because the poor won't experience pension, but because they have no hope of an earlier retirement, and so you are forcing people to work when they are potentially unable to effectively do so.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia at age of 8. At the time I couldn't spell my name with any reliability (it's not a complicated one), and I was failing primary school across all subjects. My reading level was, perhaps surprisingly, about average for my age, although I do find to this day I have to be very careful not to skip lines or misread words while reading (I usually use my finger IRL or highlight the text I read through as I go along online).

I see dyslexia now as an umbrella term for a wide class of learning related symptoms. The justification for receiving additional support and understanding as a means to reduce waste of potential. If there is such a large gap in one area of development that that it overly impacts the measurement or development of the other areas then failing to compensate for that seems negligent.

Given the choice between bored disinterest and confrontation I would say confrontation is the better tactic, at least it's memorable. Now maybe it's not the ideal method, but of the two presented here it seems the more reasonable.

Exactly, it is much like using a fan on a boat to blow a sail.

Does anyone have recommendations for good resources on writing your first compiler?

So reading this has made me realise that my mental visualisation might not be normal. I definitely can't visualise images photo-realistically, there's maybe a similarity to synesthesia where I visualise some colours but I know it's my mother, a room, etc and it's sort of helpful for remembering other properties of that thing I'm visualising. Some things I can kind of visualise photo-realistically (in the sense it might be similar to a dark room where you only catch flashes of the thing): things I build from first principles (like say a mental model of a pulley system or an electronic circuit).

I'd literally always assumed this was just how peoples brains worked, I'd be interested in hearing if this is or isn't similar to other people.

Around 3 years of experience in research and industry building (to name a few): bio-printers/neurally controlled robotic hands/ai for car insurance.

I love the story that lobsters used to be peasant food before they became rare, and that it was limited in how frequently it could be fed to prisoners except as a "cruel and unusual" punishment.

I used this a while back when I was researching a way to help people with macular degeneration. I'd created some visual distortions which could be applied to a VR headset (if you had eye-tracking information) which I hoped would improve reading ability in MD patients. I used Rant to generate some random text in Unity and then measured how reading speed varied.

'it is generally well-known that gifts/free things are never really "free"'

Although for some definition of altruism, this could always be argued to be true, I think this misses some nuances.

If you give to charity (say with motivation being a relief from guilt or a feeling of social duty), I think most people would consider that an altruistic action. In that situation, you have no real expectation of future return, so I would say the gift was "free".

Or similarly, when you care for a dying relative, there is often no expectation of benefit other than from the act of giving itself.

If you assume K is unchanging, yes. Like if it were a fixed point on the board.

I didn't think that was possible. Otherwise it would make determination of a fair price very messy -> In the extreme facebook could set an arbitraily high price if they didn't want to change their business model.
