This is how my 2016 CX-5 operates. The touchscreen aspect stops working above 5 mph. It does suck if you have a passenger co-pilot, as it's impossible to enter detailed nav directions without stopping. Thankfully Mazda offered an Android Auto/Apple Carplay upgrade after manufacture that allowed you to use better voice control then their built in solution. (Touch in Android Auto is entirely disabled even when the car is stopped)
if the fan is kept inside with it pulling and pushing through filters, the noise levels could be considerably lower.
I suspect that at least some dog owners who think they've verbally trained their dogs have actually trained them (and the dog has trained the owner in return) based on body language and gestures they don't consciously know they are making, or at best through intonation rather than actual spoken command words.
Middle men don't like confronting their own mortality. If Tesla succeeds, they can't sink their fangs into the revenue stream. If Tesla really succeeds over a longer period of time, the other car makers might start getting ideas.
As a politically right-leaning person, I have an instinctive aversion to the state intervening in the process of the market and was convinced Tesla would end up along with Solyndra, Fisker, 123 etc in the pile of failures.

I will also say that I was clearly wrong in my prediction, and Tesla has been a great success (I guess the virtue of having political opinions but not political office is that one can actually admit they were wrong and change their mind).

I will state a view that (sadly) may very well be heresy on both sides of the political aisle: the success of Tesla is not a blanket validation of government intervention in green industry any more than the failure of, say, Solyndra is a blanket indictment of it.

Politics aside, I'd like to ask the question: why was the Tesla investment successful where others were not? Was there any pre-investment indicator that Tesla was more likely to succeed? Did it have something that others didn't?
There is a parody defence for trademarks as well, normally it's disallowed if it's done for commercial purposes (typically a company poking fun at a competitor), but it seems to depend very much on the judge who's hearing it.
Another death-related unit meant to provide perspective: http://www.raikoth.net/deadchild.html.
He's still doing it now, although just in 'maintenance mode' doing it 1 day per week instead of 2.

He's maintaining a website and has done a couple of books on fasting, and the 5:2 diet in particular: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/
It's a fairly ridiculous scenario in any case.

1. Attacker needs a .gov from a swing state

2. No they don't, because nobody who'd fall for this would analyze the sender address/website URL, let alone for .gov instead of .org/.net/.com, and there's zero need to emulate a gov website anyway, when emulating a news site would be at least as effective

3. It relies on people reading an email on election day before voting and then not bothering to verify what it says anywhere, not having someone tell them it's fake and not hearing about the scam on the news they're watching for the bomb story
If we are still talking about rsync.net, and an attacker gains access to your account and deletes your borg archive, you can still restore your backup from the rsync.net ZFS snapshots.

The snapshots are not deletable even with your full credentials.
> Maybe now we can get some wage inflation!

We have been. Real (inflation adjusted) median household income has been going up in recent years, from ~$57k / household in 2014 to ~$63k / household in 2018:

Why would I want to eat vanilla ice cream?

chocolate ice cream has some taste advantages, it's the largest reason I eat it - but without cocoa, and all of the core flavor that makes chocolate, chocolate, I just don't see the point. (like your post)
Question: how lean does a Racket GUI app run? Any samples I can use? Just did the tutorial and I really loved it!

Only thing that’s difficult for me right now is named parameters because I’ve been using Objective C which is really clear on that front.

If they can be hooked together too...that would be fun :)
I have to wonder, why does Apple even make Darwin open source?

It doesn’t seem like it’s of much use to Apple—there isn't some large community of outside contributors submitting pull requests. So why do they bother?
Mobile apps are such a shitty situation; it seems like one either has to submit to the ridiculous walled garden approach or stand constant vigil against every app one installs.

All OSs need fine(r)-grained permissions, they need to supply fake data to apps that refuse to run without permissions, and in general make it deleterious to abuse the user's trust.

My ideal vision is sandboxed applications that can reach out to shared data stores or open external apps via some kind of intents; but only if the user allows them to. Also apps should be signed and the user should have the option of installing third-party CA certificates.
I believe pong has less entropy than the initial task of putting the cursor into the box. Pong is a 1D game with one degree of freedom, where you are effectively moving the cursor along the Y-axis. The previous task involved moving the cursor on the XY-plane, which involves two degrees of freedom.

Therefore, pong is less impressive than the previous task.
Sometimes there isn't C++ or Rust. Many embedded platforms only have a C compiler. And sometimes an existing codebase is written in C, and adding some C++ or Rust creates undesired new dependencies. See the Linux kernel debate on using those languages.
Maybe some important context that's missing for a lot of people is - on Windows hibernation is disabled by default too. So perhaps the question is, is hibernation still relevant in 2021?
At its heart, a corporation is just a pile of money that hires people to make itself bigger somehow. The expectation that it confine itself to a few related lines of business is a reaction to the fad in the 1960s of making leveraged buyouts of arbitrary companies to game the share price of the resulting conglomerate.
http://inform7.com/ is a successful counterexample, to some degree: it gets used, and it's much closer to the vision than older attempts like Applescript and COBOL. On the other hand, it's bad at the kind of programs Dijkstra liked to think and write about. I'd say Dijkstra expressed a basically sound but overly narrow viewpoint.
I've seen enough mention of 3 & 4 on this site to say it fits in well with this crowd.

I'd recommend checking out Philip K. Dick for science fiction worth reading (more on the nature of self than on rocket ships).
That gets parsed back into data again by HFT bots probably. It's a mad world.
Data-driven design rarely inspires culture and emotional identity. For that you need to start with a vision.

Thanks for the link to this. The full report (PDF) makes for interesting reading: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/...

Some additional damning quotes:

Another check airman at Mesa said the FO’s stick and rudder skills were weak, and he also struggled with basic flight management system tasks. This check airman described the FO’s piloting performance as among the worst he had ever seen and noted that the FO tended to have an excuse for each of his poor performances, such as blaming his simulator partner, his instructor, or the hotel. A third check airman at Mesa said that the FO had weak situational awareness, did not realize what was going on with the airplane at times, and had difficulty staying ahead of the airplane. She said the FO was completely unaware that he lacked skills, unwilling to accept feedback, and unhappy with her about his failure to upgrade to captain.

An instructor who taught cockpit procedures on the flight training devices at Air Wisconsin Airlines recalled that during one emergency procedures training scenario, the FO made abrupt control inputs that triggered the stick shaker and overspeed alerts. The instructor said that instead of staying engaged in the scenario and addressing the problem with his training partner, the FO just stopped what he was doing and turned around and looked at the instructor. The instructor found this reaction highly unusual.

Turns out Amazon didn't know about any of these failures, because here's your government in action (inaction):

Ten years ago, Section 203 of the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 mandated that the FAA create an electronic pilot records database (PRD), which was intended to improve the timeliness and efficiency of the PRIA records retrieval process by providing hiring operators and DAs with direct access to pilots’ FAA, NDR, and former employer records in a single database. By 2016, the FAA had not yet implemented the PRD, and Congress imposed an April 30, 2017, deadline, which the FAA also missed. Although the FAA has begun phasing in the use of the PRD, the PRD is not yet fully functional; it contains only pilots’ FAA records and is available to hiring operators for use on a voluntary basis.
> their flesh, unless processed through a lengthy and complicated ritual, is highly toxic

...and even once processed, is disgusting. For a few seconds it's just bland seafood. Then the ammonia punches you in the face from inside your sinuses.
I've play Star Citizen more then any other game in the last 5 years, well maybe on par with Skyrim. If you haven't seen it in a while the original scope of the game ( spaceship based sim ) is quite complete and polished. If all you want to do is hop in a ship, fight some pirates, do some pvp, missions or cargo hauling for credits to upgrade your ship or buy a new one its all there. Its a blast to play with a friend as most ships are multi-crew.

The scope creep has changed the goal from "Best damn spaceship sim" to "Best damn space sim". So yea the apple pie is going to take a while to bake.
At least we're spared the smell...for now.
It seemed to me like his site was providing value. I meant SEO in the strict "do the best you can as far as google is concerned" way.
I'd want society to side with truth over falsehood when either are not easily quantifiable.
Suffering-based punishments disproportionately punish the chronically unhappy, who have less non-suffering.
In the Midwest a 1-2 hour commute is normally 70 - 120 miles.
> Google Cast Ready speakers come with Cast technology built-in, so you don’t have to buy any additional equipment.

Except for, you know, the entirely new speaker(s).

I love this idea, but I want a simple, small dongle, like the chromecast, that outputs audio only rather than HDMI. I already have a speaker/amp in my living room that has a mini-stereo in. I simply want a way to connect a chromecast to it.
His earlier Apple Maps article ended up getting 1250 points on HN:

And an earlier one than that got 1960:

So clearly some people like this style of article (myself included).

I don't like being a downer, but this is completely one-sided.

What matters is the ratio. I would like to see the other list and see how the ratio of MBAs versus non-MBAs look.
This is spurred more by your username than anything else, but how is it pronounced? Minus, or "Min dot us"?
I think people are entitled to whine a bit. My anecdotal evidence suggests times are hard (in Europe at least).

I am at my most qualified, experienced and mobile but have never had the difficulty I have now getting work. I am looking at jobs which earn below what I was earning in 2005. I was job hunting in the early 90s recession and the dot-com burst but have never experienced this lack of response when putting my CV forward for work. I have had 1 interview in 5 months and 1 "dear john, your not suitable email". Apart from that - silence.

I can imagine what new graduates are going through. If they aren't coming from a top University then they are going to have to endure the challenges of long term unemployment before starting on the career that they have invested significant time and money on.

The economic problem was not caused by this generation of graduates. However, they are feeling the full brunt of its effects. Older people are not going to understand, because most of them haven't experienced anything like this in IT.
Curious: Can this be done in pure html/js or is Flash still the way to go to make this work cross-browser/cross-platform?

John: Great implementation. Wishing you much success. I'll be using it for my public images.
You can use Google Calendar's SMS notification. In Europe it's free to receive messages and calls, so it costs nothing.
Studying higher math does not automtically mean you miss out on practicality and people skills. Perhaps in your case it did, but a good engineer will be dealing with some of that.

It's important to have a balance - there are infinitely many things that you could advise would be useful, and time is limited. When solving problems it's important not to dive in immediately, but also to ask "What of this has already been done?"

But even then, solving some of the problem first gives an appreciation of what has been done, and often makes you better understand the strengths and limitations of existing solutions. Your example of an IDE is one where re-doing it from scratch is unlikely to give a better result, but Linus re-did the source control idea, and did it better.
Pronounced Minus. Sorry, we've been having to use "mindotus" as username on twitter,facebook etc.. as minus is taken. Still trying to get twitter to release Minus w/o any luck :\

Perhaps he (and the dealership) were making more money from the financing than from the sale of the car itself. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case...
Imagining this as a tool for autonomous robots to communicate to people with devices without needing pairing or apps. Like R2D2 but that produced articulate text.

I'm also already thinking about how to implement a batch sending mesh protocol like uucp for bots to have sessionless interconnect.

It seems so simple and obvious, but we didn't have robots the way we do now when 300baud was around. Cool project!
While the article certainly emphasizes that the non-technical board was a detriment to the company, I think that the fundamental problem is revealed in the quote “We completely failed to execute.”
Their product didn't work well, and this problem existed before the influx of money and board members. Blaming it on the board is conventient, but even the best board can't make a company successful if their product is broken.
Hopefully it's back up now?

And that might even be the right thing for you. Not everyone has to sell to anyone.
They are microwave degrees. CS enrollments are up, so give it a few years and most of these programs will go the way of the for profit technical schools in reputation and there will be a lot of consolidation etc.. For all of the shortcomings with a CS degree there are fundamentals that are taught that can't be replaced with a coding academy. The only one I give any credit to is the Nashville Software School because they are a not for profit and have a much longer program.

Back during the .com boom days of the late 90's if you could spell the word computer you could get a job making over 60K+ a year as a "programmer". Some of what is happening today is beginning to remind me of that. History shows us that the market will correct itself. It's just a matter of when.
Not really relevant to your point, but introversion vs extraversion most likely isn't determined by genetic factors. It's essentially a choice (albeit one that was made at such a young age that it's impossible to change).
That's the NTLM support the post talked about. And you're right, it's very helpful!

I seem to recall being able to make a payment with a credit-card via PayPal without setting up an account. That was at least a few years ago; is that no longer possible?
I'm not saying it's far-fetched. I think our government is crooked, and probably do make an effort to insure they have access to citizens encrypted communications.

But, let's be fair here: A well-respected developer involved in security projects has been declared untrustworthy. He has a right to be angry, and a right to defend himself. Just because the federal government does nasty things, doesn't mean we should just accept unbacked accusations about the integrity of someone, particularly when it seems the guy actually didn't have much to do with the code in question.

He touches on this:

"Even in the age of social media, it is still often about who knows you, and knows you can do a good job. If your boss did a successful project he will often seek to 'reunite the band' for another gig years later. A big company gives you a chance to impress and end up in the address books of lots of future high fliers. And they will take your call when you have something to sell and arrange an introduction for you on the strength of your past performance."
It justs points out the version of Chrome used was 6 instead of Chrome 8. It doesn't say they used dated version of FF or Safari. Also, Chrome 6 is handily beaten by IE8 and chrome 6 was in use till recently

Interestingly enough, despite malaysia airlines claiming that this is just a DNS hijack. It appears that their own CDN (Akamai) is now serving the deface page. (The page was being served by cloudflare before)
While the releases are awesome, you can very easily build blender from github and preview all these things well ahead of time.
I think the issue here is a little more nuanced than right hand vs left hand, etc... Incognito was developed as a feature to hide your browsing history back when all users having individual accounts on a computer was much more rare. It wasn't developed in a world where "privacy" meant what it typically means today.

Things have changed and perhaps Google should have changed as well, but to paint this as some sort of nefarious plot is a bit disingenuous.
I think it really depends on what you're trying to do. I'm the only person at my company running linux and I still can't really do things like seamlessly plug/unplug from an external monitor because while some apps scale correctly from HiDPI to normal resolution, the UI doesn't really. There are thankfully linux version of things like Zoom and Slack, and they work, mostly, but for instance I can't use zoom without headphones because pulseaudio is too problematic, whereas it works fine on a mac.
Near as I can tell? The buck stops with the American public and the representatives they elect.

The problem with the ‘accountability == removal’ is sometimes you run out of people you can remove, but it still doesn’t work. :s

I guess a Dictator does solve that, technically though, since then they’re the final accountable source? No wonder people keep electing dictators. :s
I am on Vyvanse and Adderall XR. Vyvanse has a much cleaner feeling to me and it is easier for me to skip a day (if I want to, like staying home and playing with kids) where as with the Adderall I cannot skip a day without harsh side effects.

Edit: and I forgot to mention, my insurance covers it, thankfully but they wouldn't cover something like Mydayis
Along those lines, is there more detailed information available on this "new technology" that is supposed to prevent contamination? Wikipedia says that the Russian bore hole was filled with freon and aviation fuel to prevent freezing...

Erlang annoyed me in the same way. The syntax was fine, except for the comma or semicolon and period issue. Made moving code a pain.
I think that it may have been just a misphrasing in your post that I responded to, but:

> If a LEO mishandles evidence or otherwise makes a mistake (henceforth referred to as "screw-up"), and then admits such a thing under cross-examination, it's perfectly relevant to the trial.

I didn't say "whether an LEO screws up is irrelevant to the trial".

I said "whether it [the mishandling of evidence] is admitted under cross examination is irrelevant to whether it [again, the mishandling of evidence] is a screw up."

In response to your statement: "When these mistakes are admitted through cross-examination, then yes, it's a screw up."

But I don't think that statement is, from your subsequent post, what you actually meant there (though I'm not clear what else that sentence could mean.)
Yes, but the important difference is that on the whole, the stock market goes up.

On the whole, the collectables market does not.
Sorry to burst your preconceptions, but... no, it isn't. 'Gaol' is barely used in British english outside of affecting an olde-worlde charm for tourists. British usage tends to words like 'prison', 'custody', 'cells', 'remand', 'detention'... barely even use the word 'jail', let alone an archaic spelling of it (and the pretrial/postconviction jail vs. prison distinction common the US system doesn't apply to the terms in the UK). HM Prison Reading might have a sign outside noting that it is the eponymous "Reading Gaol" that Oscar Wilde wrote about, but nobody's calling it that outside of a guidebook.
Swede here.

Our government was extremely slow to act and didn't shut down anything which let the COVID-19 virus spread rapidly in Sweden and now we have an uncontrolled spread with no testing except for the groups at risk.

The article is basically clickbait, Sweden has one of the lowest amounts of hospital beds and respirators per capita in EU.

We have much fewer ICU-spots than Italy, lower hospital beds etc so we will certainly have a worse time than Italy if we cannot contain the spread somewhat.

The government still hasn't imposed a lot of restrictions compared to other countries. If this is good or bad, will be determined in the future.
16000mm is 16m. Still impressive.
Depends if we want an automatic solution, that is filming and directing automatically, or if we want to have the facilities for people to come in and control the cameras individually (and direct the resulting feed). The labour intensive approach is probably simple enough in terms of tech.

I used to do this as a kid, and noticed it at one point and thought it weird. I must have subconsciously corrected it over the years since then cause it's not how I breath any more …

I wonder is it related to prevalence of sitting?
Really, is that a helpful comment?

A doctor who might reasonably know what's what, identifies a problem and a novel solution is found.

> we have been contacted by a former head physician of the Gardone Valtrompia Hospital, Dr. Renato Favero, who’ve got in touch with Isinnova through a doctor from the Chiari Hospital, the health facility for which we were manufacturing the emergency valves with 3D printing process. Doctor Favero shared with us an idea to fix the possible shortage of hospital C-PAP masks for sub-intensive therapy, which is emerging as a concrete problem linked to the spread of Covid-19

And the best you can do is identify another problem that it doesn't fix?

The example demonstrates how you can define a macro that runs its code in Clojure but can emit code to both Clojure and ClojureScript. How would you do this with feature expressions?
