Just wanted to say: I'm thoroughly impressed with how far in the weeds you're replying in this comment section. I'm learning a lot from the threads.

I try to "think my own thoughts" but then I see them elsewhere all the time.

My twitter bio has been "Thoughts expressed here are probably those of someone else." for over half a decade.

I appreciate this community when I see replies like this. Friendly, humble advice is hard to come by in this world.

It's like using "certified pre-owned" instead of "used".

Can you talk a little more about worksheets? I'm not familiar with scala worsheets at all.

Follow-up: How do you transition to productionizing your code after iterating in them?

I love the idea of a positive (yet critical) feedback loop instead of the tone on display here.

Your comment, among the sea of others, got through and made some sense to me. My follow-up questions are:

Does that negate the truthfulness of LeCun's response? What would Gebru rather he do or say?

I feel like I can't tell what the desired form of action is from the article, and I'm unsure what good it does for removing bias from ML to attack prominent figures (on twitter let alone anywhere public).

I was surprised to see Gab as a top reply to one of his tweets. Gab has a verified Twitter account, and it was offering itself as an alternative to the 'censorship'.

I don't find it surprising, but do find it sad. Few people understand how the internet works, and that there's probably an alternative to every platform, utility, or library out there.

I recently discovered: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

It takes a lot of the legwork out. Obviously you're referring to the likelihood of a major email provider marking you as spam, which is pretty likely if you're sending much volume. But if you have all your ducks in a row, you just might be able to make it work with this.

I forgot how quickly a web page can load with no JS. Kudos!

From that page, it looks like odd lots are still transacted damn near the same rate. '1 to 2 basis points' off would be .01-.02% extra

Especially because it's not the default weather app on any Android device. Users have to seek it out. They're not punishing every android user, just the ones that have already supported the application they've purchased.

It's spiteful.

Does "N=16" mean they've approved this test after such limited testing?

I think my high school stats class told me not to trust studies where N < 30.

As a fan of nginx, I really liked your comment. In sleuthing after reading I came across this:

https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/integrations/nginx-consul...

It appears that if the consul client has the right permissions it can restart the nginx service after editing the configuration file. It uses the consul templating engine to generate an nginx config file.

I haven't tried it myself but it looks promising.

.NET core has been a godsend in making .NET an interoperable option for cloud architectures. I'm continually impressed with the open source embrace from Microsoft.
