I don't see what your are arguing at all. I see full intend of abusing the "misunderstanding" to push fake news. We should be more cautious to the adversary trends lately instead of focusing on someone's own feeling.

I used to be the young people who love the work and made the work dominate my work life balance. My reason was quite simple: I felt this is the first time I have my ability validated, furthermore I was constantly surpassing my own expectations, I don't want it to stop. So in other words I don't belong to the group that are pretending to love work.

For a long time I automatically think others must felt the same way. On the other hand I think it's not efficient nor effective to pretend that you love your work: you are evaluated based on your performance/competence anyway, although in work environment we like to call it your "enthusiasm", the pretending only works in certain working environment with a certain culture, theoretically.

I have wrote an intro to the problem for lay-person. To the best of my ability. I hope this will be helpful for some of you[1].

> What am I doing wrong?

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Depending on how the book is written, some might be really boring and unchallenging, pick another one! If you are looking for brain-wrecking adventure and some good story telling, pick something that starts with number theory. If you are looking for understanding the bread and butter for most recent big discoveries and theory crafting, pick something that focus on Complex Analaysis, High dimensional calculus or partial differential equations. If you are planning to stick in the field of computer science for good, pick something that focus on abstract algebra _and_ probabilty theory.

> I often get bored because I don't see the usage in my real life coding.

Then you don't need mathmatics. Depending what you do in coding, there is really rare type of work that need mathematics. Sciences and Mathematics are so far from practical use they are there purely for the sake of knowledge. This isn't just you, it's the case for everyone. Unless some day you find the interest to battle that boredom, the probability of you finding some usage from mathematics might be very unlikely.

> As a fundamental right, doesn't that mean that the government needs to abide by it as well? Can an EU resident demand that their image be removed from all footage collected by public surveillance cameras, for example?

Yes, in Germany, everyone, meaning citizen(EU/EEA) or not, enjoys the right of forgotten from surveillance cameras or any image/personal information that is not subject to the legal registry, from public record beyond 90 days. Unless you are targeted for an otherwise legal reason.

Which explains why most of us are surprised/shocked that AlphaGo developed a winning strategy in favouring battling in the middle.

A Chinese Go teach phrase for kids: "Gold Corner, Silver Side, Grass (paper) Belly (mid)"

  - A corner is the best place
  - Side comes second
  - Carnage in the middle

So 'we' can block it. NLP for ads detection would be disastrous as a problem to tackle. And if users need to spend considerable effort to distinguish ads from actual content, the tech-platform will soon die due to angry mobs.

I'm also surprised that no one (of significant voice) has voiced enough to pressure Apple to think about their developer user population. Everywhere I go I see devs using mac. I'm sure the reason behind this is 2 folds: supported hardware, x64 + Unix platform. So if they make the transition, say, in 2020, the dev world must be prepared by the end of 2019, I mean, from every toolchain to dev Apps. And this would seem quite a big endeavour, not that devs world moves slowly but the amount of work...

Is my anecdotal too far off?

I would love to see zsh navigation tools[0] be integrated in fish. There is a long standing issue in fish which is the support for CTRL-R history, while many are pondering on the UI of it. I would like to see znt's UI be adopted (not saying it's perfect, but quite a good starting point for user conversion).

As a native Chinese, I can't produce 嚔 either. I'm interested in the statistics among college-educated Chinese how many _can actually_ write down that character...

I enjoyed the blog article and I would like to gently reiterate the notion that a _typed nil_ in Go 2 would change the semantic of _nil_, as seen in the example expression at the end of the article:

    var b *bytes.Buffer
    var r io.Reader = b
    fmt.Println(r == nil)

We might need to use other expressions to capture the _nil_ type of above assignment but we should enable the _value only_ equality check with `r == nil`

I'm afraid your follow-up is even more inaccurate.

We developed shadowsocks for the exact purpose of battling machine learned DPI head on.

The real challenge is the (poor) quality of the networks and the topology of censorship body all around China. The Blackbox nature of such state system made each improvement feel like experiment at best, simulated annealing at worst.
