A single person can be diverse relative to a group, though. Like a black woman would add diversity to a group of white men, for instance. When we talk about diversity in recruiting, usually we mean diversity of the candidate relative to the

It’s pretty hard to just sneak up on someone in public. It’s not like your eyes or ears stop working when sitting on a park bench.

But did they really enter into these hedges after the GFC? It seems like rates were already near-zero so it wouldn’t have made much sense to hedge against lowering rates.

I don’t really see a good way out of this for the UK if pensions are in such a bad state that they can’t tolerate any change in interest rates. The era of free money is over, at least for now. The BoE can’t keep rates at 0 any longer. The g

API changes are way more common than adding keywords. That’s one difference.

I don't think the GP is saying the government needs to enforce laws on the usage of the blockchain, in general. Rather, one use of the blockchain is to run a centralized investment bank. In such cases, the government should regulate th

Of course the government subcontracts the work out to do the actual construction. By the government has no incentive to build livable housing. Government employees don’t live in the housing. The government doesn’t have a business reputation

Communist countries did succeed because they controlled demand. Although I don’t think people would like the solution that much, e.g. three families living together in a 3 bedroom apartment, one family per bedroom.

One of the founding principles of this country is “no taxation without representation.” Disregarding the will of the voters seems to run contrary to that.

I don’t think the public can building housing well. Public housing projects aren’t typically seen as desirable places to live.

ts-node isn't an official part of the TypeScript project. It has notoriously bad module support. Try this: // tsconfig.json { "compilerOptions": { "outDir": "dist",

d.ts files allow you to add types to imported JS. You’re free to import raw JS as an any type and the compiler won’t complain.

You can directly import any valid JS module using TypeScript if you have “allowJS”: true in the compiler options of your tsconfig.json file. The comparison to FFI doesn’t make any sense. FFI requires compiling a special library that explici

That’s not true. You can import JS directly into TS or use ts-ignore annotations.

Perhaps it's just me, but if I ask myself whether or not the comments on this post, or the article itself, was written by GPT-3, I'm unable to decide one way or the other.

In populated areas, Japanese Knotweed is a pain, but at least people see it and try to mitigate it. I go fishing in upstate NY, and you used to be able to walk along the river banks that were mostly just flat stones deposited during times o

Pretty sure Chrome also uses libav to play back the media as well, so FFmpeg usage alone isn’t what differentiates this thing from a browser.

ML has shown more promise in MT than any classical algorithm. Unless you believe there is a fundamental limitation to ML, or a new frontier on the horizon in classical CS, I don’t see a path for classical CS to hold a candle to ML in the ma

I’m not really sure how machine translation being less than perfect is related to whether or not the end of classical is near. Unless your argument is that because ML based translation is bad now, it will never be good unless there are deve

Machine translation isn’t for translating literature at the moment. Maybe that’s why you’re feeling it falls short. For conversational vernacular or straightforward instruction, it’s great. I can’t remember the last time I used pork-pie hat

The test was mandatory for all HS students to take, but I do think there is an element of selection bias. Those who took the test on the weekend may have been more invested in the result. They certainly dedicated at least an extra weekend&#
