I gave my generalisation in terms of frequency, and not in terms of "number of rectangles" in the Riemann sum, which I conveniently assumed to be infinite.
A better generalisation: if a function is thin-tailed, and its Fourier transform is thin-tailed, then it's Riemann sums converge to its integral at an exponential rate. In particular, this applies to the Gaussian function.
I think it a little funny that you are attacked for this. Personally I have a hate for China due to nationalistic reasons, perhaps unreasonably. But it is good to question the source of information. After all that is the idea of a free press, no? Should we not all question the source of the information to find bias? For myself overall, I would say fuck China.
So, HN has a culture of not explaining down votes, but in this case I can only reason that it is because I said "fuck China". I do not know what experience the down voter has had with China. Myself I made the mistake of loving a person who was later imprisoned in a forced labor camp in China. I understand that that is partly my fault(they were never shy about their beliefs). At some point though it should be okay for a person with grievances to rail against the machine that imprisons them and separates them from their desires.
Ask yourself if you have to worry about your love having all their organs after an act of civil disobedience. I have and do every night. I do not know how to state that in a way that is palatable.
> But it is good to question the source of information.
Not when it's done in lieu of a rational discussion of the information, which should be the majority of the argument. Hitler liking dogs does not invalidate loving dogs even one iota - so what did you gain by attacking the source (when the subject is not the source but what it says)? It's a distraction and a (dark side!) rhetorical method, attempting a shortcut through evoking emotions.
I have found from the opposite way that the English alphabet is not so dissimilar to the Cyrillic. Once you get past that a bectop is a vector, and everything is nearly the same. I find there is a vitality in the region that I cannot find anywhere else, but it feels like living when I am there. I have been to many countries in the region and they all feel close to home.
BEKTOP (K everywhere where you’re used to C) just like the use of B,K,P in modern Greek, e.g. coma is κώμα rho is ῥῶ, B, βήτα (beta character) is pronounced "vita."
If you know Greek alphabet already (which many people do from math & science, or heck, even Greek societies in the USA), looking the shapes of the capital letters in it gets you almost all the way to explaining the differences between Latin and Cyrillic, since Greek is the common ancestor of both.
I have wondered about this in the context of future secrets, I have enjoyed that someone else has thought about the present case and come to not dissimilar conclusions as myself. I do wonder about research into future secrets, and coordinating disclosure of a future event.
I am sorry, I am not American, though I live here. Does this not in itself contribute to the uncomfortable feelings of women and minorities in your city?
This question kind of reeks of the non-American who consumes so much American media that they think their place of origin doesn't have the same characteristics like mostly men out and about at 4am operating the third shift or wandering home drunk.
And I'm not too sure men at work, regardless of race, rank very high on the scale of people you're scared to run into in the early morning, even in your place of origin.
So, I am a person who wishes there was a proper article I could read for this. I don't know how much this matters to people, but I can understand written English far far better than I can understand spoken English. I know auto-translate works for some. I am trying with applet and get nothing. I like core idea. I feel often people outside English land get second class experience.
I've followed Gary's stuff for a bunch of years now. His preferred medium seems to be screencasts and the occasional conference talk. His blog dating back to 2011 has 10 posts (he does seem to tweet often, though). His screencasts are very thoughtfully done and dense. So I imagine you'd have to find that article from someone else.
As a native English speaker, I generally have the same preference you do. Articles I can skim, they're easier to refer back to, and I can search.
I hope you can take solace that I will sometimes search for an error message and the only result is a forum posting in a foreign language that Google Translate barfs on.
People inside English-land get second class experience too. Audio and video are inferior tools for this kind of content, in the same way a linked list is inferior to a vector if you need random access.
In this particular case, I'm annoyed too. I've learned (what I think is exactly) this concept from other sources, and I've been recently linked to this video a couple times. What I would love to do is to quickly diff my existing knowledge with contents of the talk, but I can't do that because it's in a video format. I've been putting off watching it for couple weeks now.
You're not alone. I immigrated to the US from Asia in the 90s. For many years I didn't understand spoken English fully. Arguably I still miss some words now and then, even nowadays, after over 20 years living in an English environment. I had great grades throughout high school and college here mostly thanks to having excellent reading and writing skills in English, since I came from a place in Asia that emphasized learning English since childhood. Listening to spoken English is not easy for non native speakers.

Thank you for saying this. You clearly have a good understanding of English(far better than mine at least). I feel like this is an area that is glossed over. For every article that is written in english there are at least 10+ non-native speaker struggling to understand the work, who could extract something useful or help explicate the work.
In the case of this video, you aren't missing much. It's deliberately 'dense', according to the author, but the concept is simple.
Almost any app will involve some imperative code, but using pure functions within that, where possible, makes it easier to reason about what is going on. That's all there is to it.

That is a point not oft appreciated. There is a price at which your bank can maximally use your funds. The should use them at that rate. So what is the rate, and what is the bank that allows that?
A person who thinks in such terms must inherently be an artifact of the past. How else could one imagine the future properly? Attacking satellites of any type, is an inherent dismissal of the idea that there could be a peaceful purpose of such a device. It is better if going forward we get a type of basis for understanding the threat models that the actions we perform necessitate. A common vocabulary is the basis of trust.
Where I grew up, there is a majority group with fair skin, later(possibly incorrectly) attributed to the fact that they worked in the fields less. The minority group is darker skinned. If you train any reasonable machine learning model on any financial data, it will pick up on the discrepancy. If it did not I would say it is a flawed model. But that is more a sign that people should avoid such models.
I have. My roommate in college. A lot of students in his group studied very year for internships with finance companies.
