I think many CS degrees teach FP, I remember learning a variant of SML (mosml) for my first programming course. Now the same university is teaching the same course in F#.

Of course a lot of the data science/machine learning is being done in Python, but that is likely due much of the frameworks/tooling around is Python in general in that world.

Honest question: Have you ever used a MacBook trackpad long term?

From my experience with Dell XPS/Precision, Lenovo Thinkpads, IBM Thinkpads, and finally MacBooks, the MacBooks are far ahead. The Thinkpads trackpad are way too small, and Dell's are now days large enough but too imprecise. Both the Dell ones will sometimes trigger a click when typing on the keyboard since the trackpad is too sensitive.

It is really uplifting to see so many places, always felt there was far fewer out there.

Agree with you for most recipe books and websites, however a few rise above the crowds. Serious eats, Cook's Illustrated, and most likely more.

The main problem with both algorithms is that they seem overly sensitive, many times neither of the options seemed to be offensive.

This is a cool article in the sense that it gives an idea of tuning that can be done on one extreme. While most applications won't need this level of tuning and some of them might be hurting if one isn't CPU bound, it is great to know which options exists.

Does anyone have further articles exploring the topic of os tuning for various types of applications? Maybe also for other OS, BSD/Win?

As a member of the Nordic societies I find it important to point out some important information. In these countries we already have rather sizable unemployment benefits. If you read the (better) article by NYT[0] on the same subject, you will be given an example showing her income under basic income only increased with 50$ out of 635$.

It might not have fiber, but on the other hand it has far more protein.

Leaving is of course an option.

The fact that they don't leave mearly show that they value the gained social contact higher than the cost of data breaches.

I'm not sure if it is still the case nowadays, but back when I had an iPhone I remember that Apple had a killswitch which allowed them to remove already installed apps on one's phone.

Nevertheless, I doubt that Apple is more inclined to give away their control of your device. I would guess that they could do the exact same as Google did.

How does it "make sense"? Are you implying that the local company will behave more ethically? Baidu is also a mega corporation, that will surely allow the government access to your data at a whim. Right now, it is merely stifling competition leaving the users without choice.

Is using an outdated version of windows grounds for a complaint?

I don't know much about the OSHA standards, but I thought it was primarily about the safety of the lives of the workers. What part of their standard does old OS violate?

I'm not quite sure about the national transportation being 100% green, or at least I misunderstood what you are saying.

As a Dane I can promise you that our governmental public transport is not 100% green, our main long-distance trains (IC3) currently operate on diesel. Neither is the private transport 100% green, since people can buy traditional combustion engine based cars.

Kindness is not strictly speaking always supposed to be legal -- it can be considered kind to aid someone in escaping from prison but it's not legal and I think most would agree that it's wrong/immoral/unethical.

Her defence against the legal trouble is that she did not know about the legal requirement; this is not a valid defence in the eyes of the law and have time upon time be struck down in Danish courts.
