I'm following the course using Julia/Turing.jl and it's simply awesome. Richard McElreath clearly has a talent for teaching, and both the lectures and his book also give a very insightful discussion on the philosophy of scien

You'll probably need some basic notions of statistical distributions and data analysis; I recommend reading the first chapter of the book or the first lecture and seeing whether you're missing anything important.

Even if you don't like R, your can do the entire course with Julia/Turing, Julia/Stan or Python, the course github's page has a list of “code translations” for all the examples.

If this gets more people to use safer, better messaging apps and/or fund Signal, I'm all in. There's no place for purism, I just hope they add a way to disable stories for unwilling users.

It has improved gradually. The community is targeting latency optimizations in the entire ecosystem, and that effort has been moving rapidly.

Thank you! I did notice the regional discount, which I really appreciate (not sure if it's based on PPPs, but it's refreshing to see from LatAm).

Also, please consider NGO/non-profit pricing. I work as a volunteer on a local NGO working on government transparency. We're severely underfunded, and we'd love to be able to use tools such as these, but it's a pretty di

This looks awesome, but sadly, your education plan is practically unusable for most of Latin America, where .edu (or .ac) email addresses are very rare. I'm a college student and I can't apply because my university uses our countr

I've always thought the same. The data is there, why go through the trouble of downloading it again?

Like just an organization? A non-profit or other type of cooperative depending on your local regulations might fit exactly. I don't see how it improves any part of the process.

Clearly it's meant to be a political campaign, not an informative post. That's exactly what I expect the EFF to do, and their technical content (which is separate) is also great.

The problem is C shouldn't be as safe as your design as skills, modern languages provide assurances that prevent programmers from shooting themselves in the foot and as we know, all programmers do that sometimes.

The fact that almost all industries have some level of ethical problems does not mean that there aren't worse industries than the rest, or that you should somehow take no moral responsibility in choosing a job.

Isn't this just an extension of design by contract? What advantages come from using a framework like this instead of traditional assertions for contracts?

In the course Introduction to Computer Science: AI (CS50AI) by Harvard, one of the first homeworks is implementing a search exactly like this with Python. It was extremely fun!

I can back this completely. I'm working on a search engine for government transparency records with an NGO and Typesense really solved most of our problems with MeiliSearch, and our experiments with Sonic have been pretty good too.

It's a message of solidarity to the engineering team trying to solve a major outage or crisis. I don't think customers paying for it matters: most of us have been in their place, and it's not a great place to be in.

This is actually something I'd consider adding to all of my big projects. It really does help with discoverability.

To be fair, "dinosaur biomass" would be innacurate, but "biomass-derived fuel" is a perfectly fine description that you'll find in a lot of places.

As for (1), I can directly recommend Personal Security Checklist ( https://security-list.js.org/#/README ), it has complete, updated and reasonable advice for most people.

I'm confused, so you admitted that a wasp enters but there's still no biomass? Does the wasp just go out again?

Users can make reports manually, and you would even expect them to do so at a high rate in bugs like this. This implies a high correlation between bug reports and rarity.
