on: 'Remarkable' MIP*=RE proof describes how to solve seemingly impossible problem
These classes often encourage you to collaborate - with others in the class, and also with outside resources. That is: they would encourage you to go read the paper, so long as you cited it as a source and provided a proof in your own words you had reconstructed from memory. The idea is to encourage engagement in the community and teach people to build off of existing results, a skill often overlooked in undergrad where that would have been considered cheating.

Correlations. Language and framework preferences are driven heavily by the environment in which those languages are used. My hypothesis is that firms which still use Rails are likely to be less responsive to their developers' demands and interests in exploring new technologies and thus "working in Rails" has an association of "working somewhere which makes me use Rails."

Actually, it ships user choice now. (You can select VS Code if you like.)

Just curious, around how long ago was this change made? Can you find web.archive.org links for a page which was changed? I'd find them useful for discussions with my peers.

Most of the finance industry is also not about profits on the time-scale of retirement savings, or about minimizing variance for every sample.

No, because it was emphatically not opt-in, nor was there an open conduit for others to provide alternatives.

on: Airline revenue from extra fees increases
It's worth noting that in my observation their fares jump in price as the flight approaches to a higher degree than some other airlines, though not too much higher, and I still prefer this to change fees.

Unfortunately, they don't really have control over that. I'm sure every airline would love to decrease the hassle of flying - it would be great for business.

I'm aware of it because it's the inspiration for the message system in _A Fire Upon The Deep_ (Vernor Vinge).

on: F-Droid 1.0 released
Its gesture-interpretation algorithm has gotten absolutely terrible for me recently, to the point that I frequently have to type out whole messages letter by letter because it will keep spitting out really strange guesses when I gesture. (It used to work a lot better, and when I revert to old versions they work great.)
