I have an admittedly simple minded opinion about this: If I can’t operate it without looking, it’s dangerous.

Of course, there’s always a learning period. After that, with knobs and buttons, you don’t need to look (and sometimes very little).

We have one vehicle with Apple Car Play. Once you understand the cognitive load required to operate certain functions it quickly becomes a scary thing to consider.

A second simplistic perspective: If I can’t operate it without looking, while doing 120 at Willow Springs, it’s dangerous.

Third perspective: I would not want touch screens on our Haas and Bridgeport CNC machines. It would be very dangerous. Why would I want one in a car.

Touch screen UI’s are fragile and potentially dangerous because you don’t know what you are touching, the controls don’t maintain tactile state and it is too easy to click the wrong thing.

I do understand the value for manufacturers. I have designed and worked on a range of knob-and-button and hybrid control panels, including one that went to space.

Physical control panels are difficult and expensive to design and manufacture. They also require tons of testing because it’s a hard commitment. In sharp contrast to this, you can just throw a touch screen at something and worry about the UI later. Easily a 1000:1 development cost advantage for any non-trivial project.
> Fuck if I know what it's doing

It's the Network Manager command line tool (nice to know its name, that's why I could never find it). The option you are setting has this description: "Do not use DNS Resolver from DHCP".

I didn't find a GUI switch on my computer with that meaning.
Hey Thanks for building this - looks really cool! This may be a more basic question but I'm curious how we would lock down the application for internal use alone. Ex. is there any built in authentication / user management?
Agreed!

Shell scripting would be so much more sane (and safe) if filenames couldn't contain spaces (or control chars) and couldn't begin with a '-' character. Then the shell's default $IFS would work as intended in the presence of pathname expansion, and there would be no need to use '--' to delineate the filename arguments from the option arguments when executing commands.

I recommend you read this short bio of Trump's economic advisor Peter Navarro (aka Ron Vara) [1]. I am deeply familiar with Trump's policies on immigration which were not just evil (as partisans pointed out) their real hallmark was how incompetently they were implemented. Same his happening on the economic front.

I am not passing a value judgement on China or US trade relationships but from a developed nation like USA I would expect a broad policy first using which we can reliably predict how a successful Chinese company be treated in USA. That helps consumers, business partners VCs and so on.

This seems to be a recurring theme with the M1, and one that, in a sense, actually baffles me even more than the alternative. There is no "magic" at play here, it's just lots and lots of raw muscle. They just seem to have a freakishly successful strategy for choosing what aspects of the processor to throw that muscle at.

Why is that strategy simultaneously remarkably efficient and remarkably high-performance? What enabled/led them to make those choices where others haven't?

I offered an explanation for how one can get that kind of treatment in Poland and not in the US in its current state, not as a permanent dynamic. Obviously, if the US focused its resources on providing healthcare to its people in a similar manner that other nations have, they could achieve it.
Has anyone actually sued yet? Most of them say "considering legal action".
> Facebook has shadow accounts

This is typical for every company to the extent that they have the data to do it. Reddit for example, can personalize your feed without needing an account, because they are able to track your behavior based on IP address. Google does the same thing across all their properties, such as YouTube, and arguably their presence is more pervasive than Facebook's.
How does everyone else who deleted FB deal with the "old friends" problem? I don't have email or phone numbers for dozens of old friends from HS and University, it'd be fun to ping them with this or that once in a while.

So mad about this. I am a paying google customer and this is a feature I use all the time.
The main issue there is just that if you see something in operation sufficiently different from training you may violate those penalties. Eg. you can train an arm not to hit a person in simulation by penalizing it, but that doesn't guarantee there's not an input that would still cause the safety violation. Generalization in these regards can be still be shockingly bad for modern approaches.
You can use the .psqlrc for this purpose, though I suppose you could also real that in via a file on demand, too. You make entries something like:

\set show_slow_queries
'SELECT
(total_time / 1000 / 60) as total_minutes,
(total_time/calls) as average_time, query
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY 1 DESC
LIMIT 100;'

(got from https://www.craigkerstiens.com/2013/02/21/more-out-of-psql/)

and then later at the command prompt you access it as; ":show_slow_queries".

I have a few system queries like this in my .psqlrc file, but I don't do much which this feature often truth be told. I have a pretty strong knowledge of the database schema I work with, I do a lot of work on systems I don't regularly control so its not dependably available, and readline history suffices for more immediate needs.

This issue was the main reason that we decided against Google Apps for our email system. If we're running an Exchange or Domino server then even if MS/IBM stop supporting it we can continue to use everything and plan a migration. Google could turn off decide GMail was unprofitable and turn it off tomorrow, and everyone would be screwed.

I went to a Google Enterprise sales event and asked them about an internally-hosted version, but they were very clear that this wasn't something they were considering.

You could protect yourself against this by building an internal IMAP server and syncronising it with Google regularly. But that's a lot of work, and maintaining your own email server negates many of the benefits of outsourcing to a cloud service.
Didn't Google switch to one time passwords? At least partially?
Microsoft recently did the same thing called "Keep the Cash" or something similar. For every app you successfully submitted, they paid you 100 dollars(limit 10 per store).

I actually had a Microsoft engineer come to my school to do a workshop to promote this. It was done to show how to submit apps to the windows store, but the process involved using 3rd party software to create crappy whack a mole apps.

My class that day had about 20 people submit various whack a mole apps, most of which I know were successfully reviewed and approved. So we essentially got paid to attend a work shop while Microsoft got a nice boost in apps in their store.

I am not sure how widespread this promotion was, but I know my particular engineer that day said he had been to 3 or 4 other colleges in my area that month.

Also last I checked my wonderful whack a mole app had about 50 downloads. I am sorry to whoever downloaded that crap.
When you enter debug mode in SpiderMonkey most (all? I forget) jit'ing and optimizations won't happen; code becomes a lot slower. The new debugging api allows you to debug specific tabs, while the old one would force all of the browser (including the chrome js that handles the browser's UI) to enter debug mode and the whole browser gets slow.

Because Honza is working on porting firebug to the new debugger API, it will get faster, and so will all of firefox when you are using firebug.

IIRC, Honza is not just working on porting from the old api to the new one, but also on top of our remote debugging protocol. This means that we improve the debugging server, and both the native tools and firebug get better. Plus, you'll be able to use firebug on your laptop, connected remotely to firefox on your android phone, or firefox os.
Perhaps we need a bifurcation of US computer law to divide malicious hacking from more benign misuse like this case. It seems a bit absurd that a major bank hack should be prosecuted under the same law as unauthorized webscraping. Perhaps a civil misuse akin to a speeding ticket is necessary for the internet (though this clearly brings its own questionable enforcement questions).
I think the "corrected" title works fine, actually. The point of the article is not just that complaints declined (though that may be the point you care about the most)...the point is that even though cameras are credited for this improvement, larger (more politically known) police departments are opposing it, for various reasons.

I was really surprised to see that Bloomberg opposed it. Yes, the startup cost is high, but it seems like it'd be offset by the decline in fighting lawsuits.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/14/nyregion/order-that-police...

> But when Judge Shira A. Scheindlin, of Federal District Court in Manhattan, ruled on Monday that the city’s stop-and-frisk program was unconstitutional and ordered that police officers in certain precincts strap tiny cameras to their uniforms to record their dealings with the public, Mr. Bloomberg’s response was immediate and emphatic.
>
> “It would be a nightmare,” he said. “We can’t have your cameraman follow you around and film things without people questioning whether they deliberately chose an angle, whether they got the whole picture in.”

Um, just like you can't have cops carry guns because you'll have people questioning whether they were right to shoot and kill someone? Strange reasoning from the mayor.
I'm a software developer and would potentially be interested in helping you (or anyone for that matter) out in terms of getting a basic product / prototype developed. I'm always looking for new projects to spend some time on.

Yes, but wouldn't you agree that the high profile valuations are over way over the top? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc. were/are valued extremely highly, I would say unjustifiably so. If there was a mechanism to go long against them and I had money to gamble with, I would.

My go to example for this is Facebook's IPO. Their valuation was at the time at $50/user. Can they extract that much lifetime value out of every user they have? It seems rather high to me.

I don't believe there is an industry-wide bubble going on. But it seems to me that if you hit the right keywords (social, sharing, advertising), you will be valued at the top of the range, not the bottom. Moreover, I believe these particular valuations will get market corrected sooner or later.
I’m sure you’re right.

So it’s websequencediagrams.org with more options.

Alright, I’ll try it. But I’ll echo that others have said, I’d like to see it open source so I could take my designs to another site if this one goes away.

Also, the people comparing to draw.io, plantUML, and other actual programs I don’t think get the lightweight fast sketch idea here.

In fact I have written more than one DIY static site generators for small sites in the distant past. The bottom line of my experience was: they don't worth the effort. You will start missing features sooner than you think, and it will be entirely up to you to implement them from scratch. Instead of actually adding content to your site, you'll end up adding features to your feature-strapped hack.

In the presence of excellent tools like Jekyll or Pelican that are also fairly easy to use and extend, I'd need a concrete use-case before going DIY. If there is no concrete use-case, the DIY static generators is just another version of the "not invented here" syndrome. Just my 2¢.
Well. Depends, if your package Version links to a commit hash, you should be rather secure. One could delete it but not overwrite it as easily.
Don't try to frame the false dichotomy that the only existent browsers to choose from are either Chrome or Edge. There are many more popular browsers than Edge out there, such as Firefox, Opera, Brave, and Safari, as well as various open source forks (Palemoon, Chromium, etc.) The point of the parent comment is that to a privacy minded user, Edge would be the LAST option to consider for someone switching from Chrome, especially due to Microsoft's history of aggressive spying "analytics" as well as general anti-competitive behavior. And if you believe competition is good, why on Earth would you chose a browser that locks you in to the Windows monopoly?

Not necessarily. Depending on the version of Office you're upgrading from, you can do regression tests on a model office machine, and then just pump the upgrade out using WSUS [1].

Good points though.

One thing I've learned these past 4 years is that most Americans don't "care" about much until you start shitting in their backyard. Democrats or not, I think there will be an outcry of "social media did this to us" and legislation will be used to get this "behind us".
Firing on a mob is risky as hell and not morally clear. I can't blame Capitol Police--at least for the actions after it already got out of hand.

If federal security at Court House shoots BLM protestors who are entering a federal court house, those security people would probably get charged with murder.

It's unreasonable to expect Capitol Police to make that sort of moral choice in the moment. And if you give cops the greenlight to shoot people to protect property, there will be a lot of unnecessarily death going forward.

That said, they may (probably?) screwed up containing the crowd contained in the first place. Though to play devils advocate, the President had just told a mob to go "wild." Not sure if Capitol Police could successfully manage that.
Without any specific knowledge on this case one way or the other, both of these things can be simultaneously true: Some Capitol police stuck to their duty and tried to keep the insurrectionists out, while others agreed with them, let them in, and took selfies with them.

"The Capitol Police" is not a single, monolithic entity; it's made up of individual people, with their own political views.

I tried it for about 3 months in 2005. Things I noticed:

- I gave up caffeine the month before the trial. I had pretty significant withdrawal effects (migraines) for that month.

- I was pretty much completely non-functional for about half an hour before the scheduled nap times

- I didn't think I was impacted very much, but friends commented after that I definitely seemed less bright than normal. I hope that it was for the half an hour mentioned above, but if you want to try it you should definitely try and get some objective measurement of performance.

- I still notice effects to this day. I can nap pretty much wherever & whenever I want, and fall asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. Before the trial, it used to take me hours to fall asleep.
I mean you can corroborate it with a plane ticket most likely
Fat is an essential nutritional component. As an example, cholesterol is necessary to produce hormones such as testosterone, estrogen and cortisol. Thankfully, it's pretty much impossible to avoid if you eat meat.

Carbs are not essential. You can live on zero total grams of carbs.

Also gluconeogenesis only converts proteins to glucose, not fat, at least not directly.

>I described specifically what the difference is. The difference between them is that one is more effective than the other. Do you at all recognize how different methods of censorship can be more or less effective than others?

Of course some censorship is more effective than others, but the idea that banning a subreddit is morally wrong because it's somehow "more effective" (by some metric) than banning a user (which apparently is OK?) makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

>For example, would you seriously argue that every single grocery store in the world, banning all people who want to raise their taxes, is the same thing as a random person kicking a friend out of their house?

Reddit doesn't have a global monopoly on internet forums though. Websites like the Daily Stormer still exist. Your analogy is not really applicable to this case. And even if Daily Stormer didn't exist, private individuals have never been legally obliged to signal boost and publish hate speech at any point since the US was founded that I am aware of. That would, ironically, violate the 1st amendment.
The site itself was set up (by me) just to host this open letter, just as the site masks4all.co was set up to host the similar open letter that happened for masks in the spring. The credibility isn't of the site itself but of the signatories of the site, which are listed plainly (with any conflicts of interest). Look through the list yourself to judge their credibility.
>I'm going to skip over defamation for now

Would child porn, trademarks, advertising regulation, nutrition labels, and threatening letters be more interesting examples?

> But because power corrupts, we cannot afford to give out the power to prevent speech because it is too easily abused.

Why can the same argument not be made for, say, food regulation? Or in most countries, for some weapons regulation. All of these could be easily abused to some very powerful, political ends, yet they very rarely, if ever, are. Most abuse of such laws actually comes from companies skirting them.

>the power to jail you for speaking counter to what it believes is right.

Nobody is arguing for that - that the government should be an arbiter of truth. Instead, the argument is that the principle of an absolute right - which cannot ever be overridden - is insufficiently justified. I have some scholarly work from philosophers of law cited in this comment if you're interested in this point of view: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23136757

Ultimately, I do agree with you - but not on the basis that free speech should supercede all other rights, but because the (capitalist) state cannot be trusted, and has a worse track record with censorship over other kinds of regulation. This is because I do not have faith in the populace to decide such regulation.

This may be true, but there is a difference between studying together and working together in a commercial enterprise. I've found the people I studied with drifted away whereas people I've worked with stick closer by. That, and people you meet through study all tend to be of the same skillset, whereas people you meet through work have varied skillsets.
