godmodus··on When Factory Jobs Vanish, Men Become Less Desirable Partners
I should read more about k/r-selection
godmodus··on When Factory Jobs Vanish, Men Become Less Desirable Partners
I understand your argument, but it assumes humans don't adapt.

So what if the coal mines close down?

We dont live in aculture where needs stop evolving. Where there's a need, there's industry of some sort.

Humans brains adapt, especially generationally.

I dont see Germany suffering any detrimental consequences of the modern workplace (where I am right now) and infact it's flourishing.

That Said, the education system and the industrial system works close together here, and it's a better system than most. So countries need to pitch in to the effort if educating it's populace for modern day jobs

Uhm, monogamy is just one way to ensure offspring survival in times of strife, and reduce Std transmission.

That said, infedility is also a corner stone of our civilisation.

I disagree with the title and message with its overall sentiment.

Yes, old school partnerships are dying, but that doesn't make males more disposable.

If anything,it gives men and women more options and opens up our society to fine tuning. (effects of large scale single momhood/dadhood, competetive job markets and novel family and supporting social structures) the old was nice, but if a single unit can function and achieve what a complex unit used to, wed all benefit. Supposing the experiment doesn't end in failure and twist society. Though even if it does, we'll self correct. After all, nature still rules us.

It's a culture of work hard, fuck-young and marry-old(er) for partnership for the coming future, we'll see where that takes us.

godmodus··on Amazon to install at least 50 solar systems on its fulfillment centers by 2020
"solar systems" had me scratching my head there for a minute.

solar power grids. excellent!

godmodus··on Scientologists ‘infiltrate Munich art gallery’
i wonder what's their long term plan is.

as long as they stick to being rich and stay out of our lives, i guess they'll be ok.

if they actually manage to take over some major power or gain major political power to suppress us, well, that could/would end badly, unless they manage to convert the world. im really interested to learn more about their philosophy and their inner workings - sad they're so secretive - that only gives more weight to the suspicion that they're a malevolent organization, especially if what the news portrays is true.

sort of reminds me of the movie equilibrium.

godmodus··on The myth of using Scala as a better Java
I did :p sort of reminds me of how haskell needs itself to Compile.

Honestly, I don't see it as a problem.

godmodus··on The myth of using Scala as a better Java
Oh god I remember reading so much about till and until. covers face in shame

I think I even forgot the difference between conjuncts and adjuncts, too. Grammar 1/2/3 were tough courses.

I'm leagues below the level of a native speaker, I'll admit that! But I did still do a ton of reading, which did improve my English, but won't protect against common pitfalls :P it could've been worse. At least I don't make those "your" "you're" mistakes, too often :D

godmodus··on The myth of using Scala as a better Java
As a defense I'll say this: I'm arab, grew up mostly on online and speak and write four languages. Their grammars do intertwine, and I can't help it much. my colloquialisms and vernacular are not on paar with that of a native speaker's - my academic work had a higher quality of writing due to proof reading and tight work with a thesaurus.

And it's been a while since I was a student. Cut me some slack :p

And I know I should've written 'i have' instead of 'i've' - in Arabic we say 'ill efforts blacken the face'

This any useful for sentiment analysis and plagiarism detection? I might give it a go after I'm done with my current projects

Care to expand on that? might save us noobs trouble down the road!
godmodus··on The myth of using Scala as a better Java
Ironically, I've have an English bachelors degree,and I've never seen it in writing before, till now! Language is active learning. There's no real way to avoiding these pitfalls, besides reading and engaging with others. I'm OK with it aslong as those offering corrections do it kindly.

I've learned German, too. German is 'difficult', not because of its grammar, but because how mistakes are handled. Which is often with harsh commentary, ridicule or confusion. Not sure why that is the case, but English speakers are often kinder when offering corrections!

godmodus··on The myth of using Scala as a better Java
Thanks for that!

Yeah there's,some magic involved in the background for sbt, but Google helps :D

Here here.

Im new to scala and I love it.

Also sbt > maven!

Might get one for the wireless and use it as an extender
godmodus··on Mathematicians becoming data scientists
A few fellow students graduated with a BA and had their aplications rejected by most companies due to a lack of experience.

Theory is nice. But Experience trumps all. Esp when you think it mostly boils down to PCA/DBSCAN, regression and scatter matrices.

A month of Python/R/D3 on some initial data like pubmed/twitter or any toy dataset would go a looong way.

godmodus··on Weaponizing PostScript
I see your point in the second argument. That said, a Turing complete language, with out os-level checks, is not. For a language thought up to print and display things, it's hard to argue that postscript is as harmless as HTML, for example.
godmodus··on Weaponizing PostScript
Reason gives way to production deadlines and some measures were implemented at viewer/av/printer levels. That said, it comes down to budgets, effort and deadlines. As to why doesn't one of us do it.. We I had a friend who wrote a pdf parser and he tells of the nightmare still. Pdfs apparently vary in their implementation, and there's no sure fire way to parse them all in the same.e way. Differences are usually small things, but it's enough to cause a non trivial amount of issues and cases to account for. The specification is also apparently a nightmare. Least to say, he would never touch pdfs again.

Pdf is a curious case, sort of like flash, but has no real html5 variant, if that makes sense.

godmodus··on Association between polygenic risk scores for ADHD and cognitive outcomes
This is awesome advice!

Just be aware of how you function and work around it. At 32, things are still stressful, but I manage alot netter and have developed a sense if humor to help cope. Read books! Learn jokes and Ice breakers!

The challenge in the end, I suppose, is to overcome yourself. Being 10, you're only starting, and things will get better, especially mid-twenties, so you've a good road to walk. Step by step :)

godmodus··on Weaponizing PostScript
Post script is Turing complete. So this is not a long shot at all, in fact since most people consider documents safe, it's a very exploitable attack vector.

Pdfs also allow arbitrary code execution, which is not a new result.

godmodus··on The Only Thing, Historically, That's Curbed Inequality: Catastrophe
His premise is the issue, not its conclusion. I don't deny that peace follows war. My argument is against his premise of peace only following after war.
