It seems like the way this preserves privacy is that you only upload your location information once you're tested positive, where it is "redacted" (I have very little faith in this) and then sent to everyone else so they can check to see if they were in contact with you. It's better than mass surveillance, sure, but I'm not sure if you can claim that this doesn't give up individual privacy.
Apple Watch can't detect long QT, which is one of the risk factors here.

"no reason to think that they couldn't have done that in the same amount of time with the same amount of effort"

There is EVERY reason to think they were not in a position to a "proper" test. They are in the middle of an epidemic!
Are you looking to develop server-side projects in javascript, client-side applications, or both?
We might mean different things. I meant Chinese money in US real estate.
> The secret, apparently, is to linger on your chosen card as you riffle through the deck. (In our conversation, Olson wouldn’t divulge how he engineers that to happen

I've done this trick plenty of times and it never fails to blow peoples' minds. I do it by taking the card I want them to see and slightly push down the card in front of it. This will cause a small break when flickering through.

That's a good thing to clarify. It's not an open core system like Mac OS X. SmartDataCenter is open source and Triton is our product branding.

There is work in progress to clean up and open source the self-serve portal and its dependencies.

The propriety bits are not ours:
"The Joyent SDC USB images offered to our customers contain certain firmware binaries for use with Joyent-branded hardware. We cannot make that software generally available in the open source builds; however, it is available to all who have purchased Joyent-branded hardware and is of no use without that hardware."

I'm just going to note that the people most frequently mentioning the "Apple is Doomed" narrative are Apple apologists themselves. I discussed this in the previous article: http://www.elischiff.com/blog/2015/3/17/critical-sharks-part...

Yes the media distorts things. But that does not mean that it is invalid to say 'this wouldn't have happened under Steve.' Jobs had clear differences from the new leadership.

Further, the media's inevitable distortion of stories should not make criticism something regrettable or something to hide in blog posts or podcasts. If the developers in question have legitimate grievances, which they clearly do, then those should be aired accessibly and publicly. Otherwise what's the point of writing them?
Wow, somehow I missed this fact after 30 years of programming!

Yay for sarcasm. My point is that changing the performance characteristics of the lower levels of the storage hierarchy does not necessarily mean we need to make radical changes.

The lengthy boot-up process is now living on a set of cultural expectations. There is no longer a technical reason for its existing.

Maybe so; my point was just that I don't see how SSDs vs. magnetic disk fundamentally effect the boot-up process. Hibernation vs. power-off is orthogonal to the type of storage used.
I'm not sure about Go specifically (as I have yet to write a non-trivial project in Go) but D at least allows you to do manual memory management, if you so desire--down to using std.c.stdlib.malloc, which is exactly what it sounds like--although garbage collection is on by default. I usually tell people it's "...mostly garbage-collected," which tries to convey the flavor of a choice between fine-grained systems-level control and instantiate-and-forget application-level control.

To be fair to the author, I'm going to assume that the most esoteric (read: non-C-like) language he knows is probably Python, because he doesn't compare it to anything besides Python, C, C++, or Java. I also assume he left out Java because by "compiled languages" he meant "compiled to native code without relying on a runtime which is external to the compiled application." He's still missing a whole swath of compiled languages, but there is a point of view from which his comment makes sense, i.e. native-code compilation of C-like systems or applications languages.

("...you will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.")
That's downright cruel.
What's the alternative? Accepting the dev's favourite misspelling npm-style doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

To counter with an extreme example: plenty of medical progress was made via Nazi and Japanese experiments on live subjects during the second world war. So no, categorically the ends does not always justify the means.

I think there should be an addendum to that quote that "third time founders are obsessed with runway management and getting money for their products". Companies die because they run out of money and you ignore your balance sheet at your own peril.
The most amazing thing in this video is NOT how we can read signals from the monkey brain, but how a monkey brain can learn to generate signals to control the cursor. I think it is remarkable that a brain can learn to have such fine control of its neural activities.
The way we study the nucleus is kind of funny: Throwing stuff at it and seeing the distribution pattern of how it bounces off or breaks out pieces.

It's like if Oumuamua[1] was thrown at us and some giant gas cloud entity that wanted to see if we had planets by measuring the trajectory anomalies as it came out. Or if meteor showers were to probe atmospheres.

Alright, back to work.

Rust is usable for web development if you consider vanilla Python Flask without extensions to be the pinnacle of all web frameworks. The abstraction level in non-nightly Rust frameworks is shockingly bad. Standard features like diffing and generating migrations that are found in mature ecosystems like Django/Laravel/ASP.NET/Prisma are non-existent in Diesel. There is no maintained, out-of-the-box authentication solution. The only framework that try to tackle some of these problems is Rocket and it has been perpetually in nightly despite stable Rust compatibility having been achieved last year. (Companies using Rust need to donate and sponsor more)

Since that time when you can order a nice book made out of your photographs, for ten bucks, and 3D print complex parts.

The people who are in the business of providing packaging likely upped their game with new production techniques that let them use better images, colors, materials and so on. They probably did that to edge out other people in that business.

Packaging sells; people are attracted to attractive packaging, so there is obvious motivation behind it. Once everyone is doing it, you can't be left behind.

Half the arguments are along the lines of "because you can use it wrong, don't use it all". And the argument about SVG being more crisp is wrong, I'm trying real hard to make my SVG icons look crisp but sometimes it's just too difficult and I end up with a partially blurry icon. "speak: never;" in the icon class should work for screen readers, although I'm not sure. Whenever the icon isn't just a design element, I use SVG of course. And lastly, gzip is the wrong compression nowadays. Compress text (be it html, xml, css...) with brotli and use content negotiation properly, for optimal compatibility.
I mean, people probably said the same thing about leaded gasoline. Just because things are “fine” doesn’t mean they’re ideal.
I like <use> but for the WWW I'm reluctant to stray from the absolute most common SVG elements and forms of combining them; I've had too many cases where what works on one browser fails in another, or sort of works but far too slowly to be usable. It's a lot like HTML in the 1990s that way.
Neither the F-35B nor the F-35C carries a gun. The USAF's F-35A is the only model affected by this issue.

Also, the Marines want the STOVL F-35B for operation on LHA/LHDs, as well as small island bases with short/limited runways. It's not just the ski-jumping Brits who want that feature.

With that said, you're right that the STOVL capability has added substantial complexity to the airframe.
* Stealth is not always about not being detected, it's also about reducing the distance you will start being detected.

* The F35 has battle awareness, but I wonder if those systems could have been integrated into existing airplanes, I'm not a aeronautics or avionics engineers though. Obviously it might increase pilot effectiveness, and decrease the amount of stuff pilots have to learn.

* I also read that the f35 has been designed around many sensor systems, allowing it to see enemy aircrafts much more before they would, giving it more time to react or to avoid dog fights: that's the argument against a non maneuverable aircraft, that information is more important in a fight situation. Also stealth is not always about land radars, it's maybe also about embedded aircraft radars, which are much less capable.

* The only point of VTOL is because air bases are hard to come by and build. It requires a large strip of road to take off, and flat areas are hard to defend. VTOL allows a jet to land in remote areas.

Maybe the F35 is all about electronic, detection and spying and not about dog fights, maybe the military also doesn't want to talk about the functionalities that make a difference so that other countries don't pick up on it. Although it's weird to see that so many will be built, since it seems like a very specialized jet.
The F35's avionics suite is not just for controlling the aircraft (which is difficult in itself), it's for controlling, analysing and displaying the data from sensors (radars, RWR, IFF, infra-red, etc) on an integrated display system, data transfer (can transmit its own sensor info to other aircraft and receive it from others), and interfacing with a variety of NATO weapon systems.

The F35's integrated system design was a (possibly too much) very audacious design, and includes over 10M lines of C++. It was questionable why C++ (instead of using existing ADA software) was used from the "re-inventing the wheel" perspective, but existing software in ADA very likely wasn't good/sophisticated enough and would have required significant re-writes anyway.
Over the past 10-15 years there has also been a huge move away from ADA to more COTS languages/solutions by management in order to "save money".
I have made a point - that he knew, or should have known what he was getting into. If he failed to do that (which I don't believe) then he should not have trusted his own judgement about what was or wasn't constitutional and what should be leaked - because the vast majority of what he leaked didn't expose any wrongdoing whatsoever.

My thesis is not tha the joined with the intention of leaking secrets. My thesis is that he joined up thinking it would help him straighten out his sexual identity issues and when it ended up making them worse it's unfortunate (largely for himself) that he didn't seek a medical discharge on basis of his gender dysphoria and the severe stress it was causing him. I don't think he's an inherently bad person, but if you're going to carry a top secret clearance you have to be aware that that's some Serious Business.

Do you have any experience with people?

More than you seem to imagine. It's because I've spent so much time out at the fringes of society that I have so little patience with this infantilist bullshit. Like Manning, I left home and (broken) family at a young age to make my own way int he world, instead of going along with the crowd on the conveyor belt. I sympathize with him, but I also think that respecting his right to make his own choices also involves investing him with the responsibility for the outcomes of those choices.

I like what I see of Manning, but think he made some catastrophic mistakes that's he's going to be paying for for the next few years. Your view of events is predicated on him being a helpless automaton that joined the army and earned a top secret clearance without understanding what any of that meant, which is to deny him agency for his own actions.

If I may inject a shameless plug, this is exactly what http://www.pixtulate.com does to serve up responsive images and hi/low res images depending on screen resolution.

Yes, unfortunately we have to rely on a small client side javascript to detect your client's properties but the solution allows you to both upload and reference one and the same image and URL regardless of client and we'll scale, re-sample and even crop on the fly and cache the formatted image for future requests. We are trying to provide an experience as seamless as HTTP content negotiation.
The ability to compare different cars is probably more important than preventing designers from sticking a five foot thick plate of metal on the precise diagonal of the crash test, which would be obvious. A major part of crash testing has to be the forces felt by the test dummy, so there's not a whole lot designers could do to reduce those forces in exactly one direction without also reducing them in other directions.
That's exactly why I do run completely own servers, email, website, private communication platform etc. I don't like Google at all. Using Gmail is a trap, as we have seen here in other discussions.
I'm sure they want to replace Gecko with Servo but they can't because it doesn't have xul/xpcom and it never will. There was a post a while back about a side project called Firefox.html which is to rewrite the interface in html5 instead of xul.

Anyways they shouldn't replace gecko but instead make a new browser with it's own branding like the Internet Explorer team is doing with Spartan. Because no matter what Mozilla does with Firefox it will never gain market share because they've lost momentum and don't have resources it takes to brute force users to their product like the big guys have.
It isn't government regulation of the internet. It's government regulation of cable companies that provide the internet.

I don't want the government monitoring or restricting my internet. I would like the government to prevent companies from doing that to me.
YC offers 20k+ for a few percent. Startup Chile is 40k with a co-investment of around 10k. That money is supposed to support the founders for a few months while they get the prototype out the door and build traction.

In comparison, 750k is a metric ton of cash, and should be enough to support a founding team for several years. Not judging, but if you're positioning it as a seed round instead of Series A that may be part of the problem.
Reminds me of remote working. Some people claim it's bad, some people claim it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. There's pros and cons to each. People build successful companies with both methodologies.
Along these lines, are there any accelerators/funds willing to fund a solo founder? If not, this seems like a good opportunity for a company which can quantify the risk of solo founders.
we're talking about "'o clock"

As an aside, in high school I had an English teacher with such clear and correct diction, that people said you could hear the apostrophe in "o'clock"...
This puts 100% of the trust on shared, high value server farms controlled by organizations that have a financial incentive to misuse people's data.

Edit: I guess that meshes with the article title; assume other people's servers are compromised too.
UE is much more of a "batteries included" engine, so there are a lot more existing systems that you have to learn to integrate to make anything worthwhile. UE is a lot more inheritance-oriented than Unity. Unity's C# scripting is a lot more flexible and composeable. Also, even if you are an experienced C++ coder, learning Blueprints is absolutely necessary so that you can get a handle on all of the included APIs of the engine and common interaction patterns. Even if you do get a good grasp on the C++ APIs, it is much easier to compose a complex game object with Blueprints because there isn't really a "Prefab" concept like in Unity. (Some people will compare Blueprints to Prefabs, but I initially found them much less useful). The mental model for how levels work is also very different.

That said, I think UE is much more powerful overall, and worth learning if you take game development seriously.
Fair point. I might make an edited version of a recording available, but can't make promises at this time.
Right, it’s called a signaling server, which is mainly what PeerJS seems to be. You need a method of connecting peers through the signaling server, they decided on generating uuids that are shared out of band or through a peer discovery api. You can do this pretty much however you want, the spec doesn’t clarify at all by design.
Voters typically like the idea of universal coverage, and strongly dislike the idea of being forced to give up their health insurance. The idea of banning private insurance is deeply underwater.

This is one reason why some advocate for a strong public option; if it’s seen as superior to the private choices it would either win out (resulting in de facto single payer), or drive down the cost of private insurance until it’s price competitive with the public option.
WebRTC doesn't use any public CA certificates to my knowledge. DTLS-SRTP uses self-signed certificates on both sides, with the certificate hashes or key fingerprints being included in the SDP signalling messages.

Maybe you're thinking of the "secure origin" requirement? (The page hosting the JS needs to be a "trusted context", i.e. no file:// and no http://)
I'm quite thankful so much of How it's Made is available on youtube by Discovery, curious why they've even done that.
While I agree that these interviews can be a bit much but what's the alternative? If I am a job seeker I feel much more comfortable knowing that they expect me to write code and answer DS+Alg questions and prepare for it as opposed to companies selecting based on the the prestige level of the University you went or based on subjective judgments based on the resume and/or company fit. As someone who went to a University in Canada that no one working at big tech companies in SV would have even heard of I appreciated that I was given a chance to show my skill as opposed to them just hiring out of Ivys/Stanford/MIT or other big name schools (like what happens in Law).

I also hate the new trend of "take home" tests. That just seems disrespectful of the candidate's time.
Some opinions from UK[1]. Although they’re not part of Europe any more. But you got the idea.

My one face-to-face interview (put me off for life): Some interviewers were there because they’re committed.

Some were doing it because they had to (last-second substitute) and it showed as they were rude about it or highly disorganized.

You don’t have to take it and it’s okay to cut interviews short as the interviewer (I’ve done it before), but it’s a mistake to be unprofessional about how it’s cut short.

I too am very skeptical of startups. I'd rather get paid by the hour, then get paid with a promise that's not likely ever to be kept.

I understand one-half of American businesses - in general, not just startups - fail during the first five years.
These all sound like things a permit was applied for, or at least the action was worked out in advance. Similarly, a protest should be able to do the same. But any of these listed actions, if attempting without clearing it with the controlling interests, would be cause for concern in my opinion.

The difference is that if a resource is known to be unavailable for a time, people can plan accordingly.
i agree that as a software developer, google is an essential tool, it goes where sometimes stackoverflow doesn't go, but there are true alternatives that aren't local like yahoo, bing, duckduckgo, these are all foreign and work more or less uninhibited, it's just that these companies actually follow local protocol which google outright told the chinese government to fuck off.
From the page:

The problem of finding and pricing flights in response to a user's search request may not seem particularly difficult. However, any serious attempt to find the best solutions to a user's search unveils the true complexity of the problem, which is staggering. First, we'll give a simplified, but hopefully intuitive, back-of-the-envelope explanation and then we'll look at a specific example with some real numbers from an actual query that our QPX search engine performed.
That list seems more than mine of my life.
