This could be fine as long as there are very strong regulations against de-anonimizing the data (including jailtime for violators) and there was a regular rotation of the keys used for anonimization. People's privacy usually isn't

I noticed Elm is listed as an inspiration by a number of Rust front-end frameworks (seed and iced for instance). It seems a lot of people feel the same in the Rust community.

OnePlus Nord seems like a nice replacement for a 5t. I'm looking to replace mine as well.

Brexit was caused by London to some degree. Their financial industry creates a huge demand for the pound, which hurts exports for the rest of the country. This has dampened standards of living outside the Capitol for a long time now. This p

Doctors are required to get a doctorate for their career. This has two major consequences. For one, research standards are lower because many doctors are only doing it because it's mandatory, and there's a lot more people doing si

A state machine is more about modelling and restricting the transitions between states of your program. This is a great way to make complex algorithms tractable and less bug prone.

Plotting directed acyclic graphs while displaying the edge weights and node sizes is a bit of an unsolved problem. I agree that in most cases chord diagrams are more confusing than illuminating, but so are the alternatives.

While this seems to work against several current techniques, there's no guarantee it will work against all of them. It also offers no guarantees against future developments, and anything you put on the public internet is likely to be r

One important example of this is pensions. Some people argue that we should settle for less consumption and economic growth. However, our concept of retirement is predicated on these. If you want to change the workings of the economy, you h

Interesting. So for training they use features: > In the past, how often did this test fail when the same files were touched? > How far in the directory tree are the source files from the test files? > How often in the VCS history

There's a Germany-based competitor to myfitnesspal called Yazio that has a good privacy policy. Don't know if their database of nutritional information is as good in your location though.

These initiatives appear to me like the ultimate form of bikeshedding. Making real change to society is extremely hard, so instead people focus on the superficial and immediately available.

Managers always have a means of gauging progress: asking the people doing the work.

Techcrunch links are redirected through a tracking domain: https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers? . This breaks lots of things, especially if you're blocking ads.

It's complicated. One thing we do know is that the variance in intelligence is larger than any group differences. People therefore often assume that anyone that insists on emphasizing the average difference is using it as a dog-whistle

Why would I know whatever code I'm reading well? Most of the time I'm reading code it's unfamiliar to me, like for instance library code, picking up a project after a long break, or in this case on a blog.

Ideally yes but in reality no. Governments are the ultimate "enterprise" IT environment. Highly ossified and completely dependant on outside suppliers. On top of that procurement processes take a while. So there's a whole eco

This has never happened at the nation state level in Europe. I don't think it's a good idea anyway to switch every client over, but it would be nice if governments would consider Linux for servers more. The default assumption of n

Maybe the two-language problem is not a problem after all. I've been coming around to the idea of writing the core algorithms in a fast language with a lot of features around correctness, and the rest in whatever language is most produ

vctrs [0] is the latest effort by the Rstudio developers to help people write type-stable code. The R standard library has a lot of issues with silently casting types, but the wonderful thing about it being so scheme-like is that many of th

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know where I can find good sources of similar analysis for the eurozone? I feel like I know more about U.S. monetary policy by now than my own area's.

There's been a lot of work in this area over the last few years, clustering and tagging text and video. Facebook even has an open source library for it called Starspace.

Confounding variables don't invalidate research, they merely inform us on how to weigh the evidence, and shape future research. Studies can have interesting conclusions even in the presence of confounding variables. Sometimes the state

There may also be compliance costs. (Will this model satisfy an auditor?)
