I don't think anything in my house was getting wet. The stuff outside seemed to be in pretty poor condition, and was underground where it could get immersed and such. Their techs liked to just forget to put covers back on things after they were done working, which I'm sure didn't help. In any case, I don't live there anymore so not a problem I have to deal with now.
The experiment was repeated with cats, however when the plate was placed out of their reach they simply glared balefully at the slave^H^H^H^H^H human until the error was corrected.
Point, but again, it's not really the equipment itself that's valuable there - it's the design of the process, and the fact it's been validated.
> Although if we were doing something like this, they would call that terrorism. Because anything that they can possibly insert themselves into automatically becomes terrorism.

That's an interesting way of looking at it.

I would have said it the other way around: "If the 'good guys' found out the 'bad guys' were doing something like this, they'd call it terrorism.
These days I seem to prefer extended series of books that develop a detailed alternate universe. Three truly excellent series (Author-Series-1st Book):

Eric Flint - 1632 - "1632"

David Weber - Honor Harrington - "On Basilisk Station"

Stephen Brust - Vlad Taltos - "Taltos"
Any ideas if all the code behind the editor will be released as open source?

Edit: To be clear, I am not talking about all the supplementary repositories that are already open source, but rather I am wondering if the core application will be OS.
Why not just use Vim?
This is a good point. Someone doing mostly-not-effective volunteering isn't there 99% of the time. But that's kind of the point -- they've made a connection and now care about the project. That's got to have ongoing value in terms of things that'll be more helpful (either valuable help or money). Perhaps even sufficient for people who are there 99% of the time to re-lay some brick and call it even.
Name one language that doesn't have "a permanent trap for the unwary and a huge liability for people coming from other languages."
I tried it years ago. It wasn't 1/5th as good as Dropbox!
There are a few recycled interviews from The Living Dead in ep 2 for sure.
I mean I like it, but I don’t think that’s very relevant as I don’t have a few billion dollars.

There is just so much money splashing around in investor driven companies right now because of cheap money that I don’t see it working out.

I also think investors provide more then money that is hard to overcome. They have a network you will only get access to if they get cheap investments and for some type of companies that is necessary.
I think it's worthwhile perhaps asking some random musicians what they think music "theory" consists of. They will probably be the first to agree that it's not the same as "theory" in the sciences or "theory" in the humanities.

I'm a jazz musician, and have learned very little theory myself beyond basic notation, scales, and chords. I can hold my own on the bandstand.

But without exception, the musicians who are capable of composing and arranging new material of any quality have all studied theory. I think it expands your creative vocabulary in ways that I can't really explain.
A more efficient method is a skin allergy test (skin prick test). It allows for testing lots of allergens in parallel.

A quick search shows that it works for gluten intolerance/celiac disease too.

My mom went through this back in the 80s or so after having mysterious issues - turned out it was raw(ish) onion that was the culprit.
> It's about the employee, and what their life allows them to work for.

So rather than compete in the job market based on your skill set and what value they bring to a company, you should instead focus on not starting a family and living as cheaply as possible in order to make yourself attractive to companies. I'm sure employers would love for you to center your life around making yourself as cheap to hire as possible, but from the point of view of the employee it sounds extremely unhealthy.
Actually, most music produced on physical instruments in the west doesn't have such nice ratios. I suggest reading about equal temperament (or watching some Adam Neely videos) if you're interested in learning more about how our tuning system diverges from the Pythagorean ideal.
>When people tasted the wines and the bottles were hidden, people accurately scored the wines.

>All but the experts were susceptible to this effect.

I dont understand

If people managed to "accurately scored the wines", then what does "all but experts were suspectible" actually means?
Dodged a bullet there.

2020 hindsight (pardon the pun)

A year ago, what now seems basic precaution seemed inappropriately paranoid to some:

"Some have criticized comparing the coronavirus to the flu because it has a far higher fatality rate and that it distracts from the new virus’s severity. But the fact remains that, so far, the flu has impacted far more people. The CDC estimates that 10,000 people have died from the flu this season, with some 19 million people in the US having experienced flu illness. Data from the CDC suggests that the flu is a greater threat to Americans than the coronavirus."
But you're tied to Bank-Id/Mobile-Id. If you lose your phone (or it's stolen) with all your certificates etc, will someone be able to do bad things with your account?
I don't understand. Ruby on rails is still one of the (if not the most) advanced web framework available.

Mind to develop your point ?
Haha alright Captain Buzzkill, let's give it more than one day before we start burying this one.
This article doesn't make him look like an idealist at all. It makes him look like an entrepreneur that cares about success about all else. The idealism seemed to come later, as a justification.
You seem to be confusing the expected value of a startup with the value of one's equity. There is a reason that the vast majority of vested stock options go unexercised when employees leave companies.

Additionally, you are not factoring in liquidation preferences. Rhetorical question: what's 10% of $10 million when your investors put in $5 million and have a 2x liquidation preference?
Right but WhatsApp was a paid app. There is no reason to believe that paid apps are ideal for privacy - WhatsApp is the perfect counterexample. So we need a different solution, or direct payment at leasts needs to be one part of a larger solution.
Ok, but their multicore score is only on par, not better than equivalent class chips on older fab generations. Where is the huge gap?

https://wccftech.com/intel-and-amd-x86-mobility-cpus-destroy...

Or check multicore scores here:
https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

m1 is better by 20% or so, but is 2 fab generations ahead of the intel chips
Nice insight on how new systems can lead to apparently unrelated discoveries!

I'd like to see not only switching to atomic time, but also to UTC globally, which would be far more convenient, but also may have it's own set of interesting minor discoveries
Distro repos are notorious for containing super out of date stuff (especially when it comes to these kinds of apps). It's why we now have flatpack, AppImage and Snaps. Always check the version numbers when using repo stuff.
> They were understaffed, and it was clear that they could not protect both the building and the people. They correctly prioritized evacuating the people.

This is all true but might be crediting the Capitol Police leadership with a little more coordination and planning than they truly exhibited. There were clearly some law enforcement officers who did not simply step aside and let the rioters have their way once lawmakers had been evacuated.

Based on some of the comments here I get the feeling it's not common knowledge yet that at least one involved law enforcement officer has died [1] and a couple of dozen were injured. Possibly they could have done better for themselves if they'd all been as easygoing about things as the officers photographed in the rotunda.

> This costs money and is not free

I have been a reviewer at Elsevier, Science and many of this journals for a better of the decade. I personally know the editors of many journals including IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, Science etc. They don't get paid for their time. So yeah, the scientists voluntarily review for free. Most journals only archive and index, they do not do anything more than it.
The social engineers never sleep oh
80/20 rule goes a looooooong way, but relying on a 3rd party to handle your infosec is terribly misguided. Offloading your net/infoseq issues to a 3rd party doesn't guarantee you understand the attack surface nor mitigation steps. The advantage of doing it yourself is you learn and integrate knowledge as you go. Yes, more error prone, but imo it is more lasting as you (generally) retain the knowledge as time goes on. The issue with relying on a 3rd party is it becomes a "don't-care" because 'someone' else is taking care of it for you (github, sr. sw engr, sysadmin, etc.).

There will never be a 100%-fool-proof "Did you mean to commit this sensitive unicode string?" but getting in front of that with a, "ok, I've checked my code, ran my tests, pruned the sensitive data, is there anything I'm missing?" will go a long way both in present and future times.

There's an issue with your example. Google looks for the substr 'attach', but does it know that a file with a string 20 chars from the newline 50 lines deep with two single quotes is actually your root password? There's a world of difference between keying off of a word/phrase and understanding the context of a larger document+metadata. Trusting computers to do the latter will result in bad times for all, while learning for yourself can help spread the knowledge to those that are both technically inclined or not (infosec is everyone's issue!).
Could you please elaborate a bit on what sorts of horrible experiences you had with the individual offices arrangement? How frequent were your team meetings? Did you guys use Slack-style chat softwares?
That's a fair point, but for some mental disorders, the brain is wired into a state of permanent anxiety, wherein it becomes extremely difficult to 'learn' that normal situations do not deserve heightened stress responses. The most famous book on this subject is probably Bessel van der Kolk's book The Body Keeps the Score. For people who have been so traumatized that their ability to regulate emotions is nigh-totally kaput, medication can offer a window of relief that enables the kind of healing that sticks, even when the medication has worn off.
> fear of famine . . . often led me to take on too much work to have a side project.

A model I really like is one "big" engagement at 20 hrs/wk and a few smaller ones to fill in the rest of the hours. This gave me a lot of confidence walking up my rate and saying no to discounts. Knowing I had stability from other relationships took away a lot of fear and let me be more willing to hold out for better opportunities.
You do realize that it's the Indian government at issue here, right?
I would agree that getting a license in the US is significantly easier than in Europe. I'm American, but I lived in Scotland for 7 years and go my first drivers license there. I was told the pass rate was around 40%, which may or may not have been the truth. It was about a 45 minute test. Fast forward a few years to when I returned to the US for college and my drivers test was about 5 minutes long and an absolute joke.

As for the last point about American roads being larger and safer, I'm not sure the second part is true. They are definitely larger, but there's been research done to indicate that larger != safer. I'll try to dig up the article, but I'd tend to agree with the sentiment. I've seen significantly more accidents on large laned freeways in America with a 55 mph speed limit than skinny backroads in Scotland with a 60 mph speed limit, even with adjusting for the larger amount of traffic on the American freeways.
No ads would mean no Google, which (given Google's market share) I respectfully claim would not be maximized user experience.
I can deal with the 90s website, but some numbers he's presenting are off with what is mentioned from the micro-deflections of his experiments

I can buy a micro-deflection (after some independent replications are done, surely)
It would be really interesting to see how much variation there was between two groups using the same method as well, to get an idea of how much different team vary, and how much controls can be relied on in such comparisons.
Unrelated tangent, but this is the third time in two days that I've seen Anatoli Burgorski be mentioned. Twice on HN, once on YT.

I guess I'm just noticing his name more?
I think you should read this article "Misconceptions about the Big Bang": http://pages.erau.edu/~reynodb2/LineweaverDavis_BigBang_SciA...

The big bang was an "explosion" of space itself. There was not previously empty space.
Hushsms is one, but requires Xposed Framework.
Carl has a long history of twisting truth and sources.

For example https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2007/dec/09/wikipedia...

Or the discussion page of the wikipedia page about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Carl_Hewitt

Constantly using "Prof" to prefix his name speaks for itself too.

(In other words, it's (2), but that's not a recent development.)
> My grandmom legit still uses Netscape dial-up as her ISP.

I wish all the websites which reasonably can and should would have mandatory lightweight versions optimized for dial-up and comparably slow connections so you could still use your bank, read news, chat (I mean WhatsApp which doesn't even have a PC client app you could install once), download books, book hotels/flights, order stuff from e-shops and online marketplaces etc while on narrowband. Thanks G-d we still have plain old POP3+SMTP e-mail servers and clients still available at least.
Silly like wrapme.sh?

Programming is not some very special skill, so that the question can be described as: how to learn scientifically and efficiently?

You can find a certain book about learning, which must be backed by sufficient scientific evidence, and then you can get more relevant content by using Amazon book recommendations, and the references in the back of this book to gradually acquire the latest knowledge in this area.

Of course every industry has some distinctive experiences or informal rules, but those things are often not the way to learn, but one of the materials to learn.

And don't expect anyone to give you the best study plan, because studying is a very individual thing, don't try to copy other people's experiences.

Reading relevant research gives confidence and allows one to avoid a lot of obvious mistakes, but it doesn't mean one can find a panacea, hard work is necessary.
Ah fuck. I was wondering about this because I was in the same boat as OP. Even weirder - I checked my profile settings and my phone number was listed even though I'm certain never added it and stopped using mobile years ago.
It's just a reference, it's not making a value judgement about the different ways to evaluate the truthiness of a list or something.
There might be. One financial sage gave the following example: buy nickles. Currently, the value of the material is ~30%(?) higher than the nominal value of the coin. Therefore at some point in future the government will have to switch to a different material. At that point you'll be able to sell at 30% gain. If this for some reason is not possible then you'll still have whatever you started with. This way you are sure not to lose any money (except due to inflation) and possibly make 30% profit. You have to consider the likelihoods of both outcomes, etc. Anyway, he bought nickels worth of a couple of million dollars.
I don't get his part on Dunning-Kruger. Where is the "obvious" correlation? Why doesn't he specify which figures he's talking about?

Each figure shows how the bottom quartile is overestimating their ability. And that's exactly what people call the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Politicians on both sides are already setting the stage for this. Words like "insurrection" and "coup" are being thrown around, even though there was clearly no path from "protesters enter capital" to "protesters seize government power". Using the word"insurrection" also primes people for activating the "Insurrection Act" and using military for policing. We already see Twitter and Facebook moving on censorship and people generally supporting it because of outrage at capitol being breached. Trump supporters had absolutely nothing to gain from storming the capitol, but the politicians had a huge amount to gain by winning this their easy, which opens lots of doors. I'm of the opinion that with the actions already being taken, more will follow shortly. Instead of calming everyone down, they are whipping up public opinion, for what? Probably new laws and restrictions.
On the other hand, having other people read what you have written can be quite a thrill (especially if it becomes popular). Submitting your blog posts to HN and reddit/r/programming also can get you good feedback and alternative views (and, for that matter, mean comments too).
data is awesome! keep scraping those view counters!
This is a property rights issue. If you sell somebody something, they own it.

Extending the old-school boxed software "licensing" model to everything on earth which contains a computer undermines the basic concept of property rights. The result is a bizarre neo-feudalism where corporations own everything and people just lease it.

It's your car, you own it, the end.
I look forward to it, let me know if there's an email list to stay notified
Makes one wonder if Sievers should be allowed to touch any more projects...
Doesn't matter that much. C++ is better to know, but you should do whichever one of those options will look better for your college applications. Then, if you have the time/energy, do the other one as well.

There are a billion jobs in Java, and I think the language itself is ok in a lot of ways, but many Java projects are monsters. Learning Java is a helpful way to understand the pros/cons of using a highly rigid language (and I'm strongly in favor of rigid languages).
I don't think it matters particularly. But there is a tendancy for people to treat their negative attitude towards homosexually as an intellectual or moral position. This completey side steps their own behaviour which could be rude, bullying, abusive, invasive etc. There is simply no moral or intellectual justification for that behaviour regardless of what you feel or think. And using words like phobia reinforces that impression. It's a position that should be incomprehensible like being hostile to people with particular hair colour.
It's pretty old news these days, guessing it's mostly what's leaked out of private to public sector stuff, is probably just the beginning really.

Would suggest starting at arxiv. This is not a hidden field for the active and/or keen researcher.
90% of the code is jQuery / third-party (also includes jquery / polyfills) / polyfills btw.

At some point, convenience wins.
What about motors and batteries, are teams allowed to design, buy their own?
I find that removing the daily standup altogether fixes the problem even more effectively.
5G isn’t a substitute for fibre.
No, the point was that there was a ruling on it from a highly divided court that only applies to Pennsylvania.

The article didn't really argue something like that. It only reported on a court case and really didn't say if they agree with the decision or not.
Shouldn't there be figures in watts (a measure of power) rather than watt-hours (measure of energy) on the project page?

Right now it seems to me there's non-monotonically increasing energy expenditure when looking at the Wh figures.
Given how many small design jobs happen on Fiverr, I'm sure there's a viable potential business here as well.

The landing page isn't particularly attractive, easy to read, or clear. It might be worth hiring one of the designers you have a relationship with to have it professionally done. Everything on the "how does it work" page should probably be on the front page, which doesn't do a good job of conveying what you're offering or what a buyer can expect for that $99.

The headline doesn't really capture what you're doing either -- "we design so you don't have to" might describe the web design profession, but not you as a middleman offering unlimited design work on retainer.
Well, with bicycle helmets in particular the odds of the particular type of injury they are effective against are very low, while wearing the helmet itself is risky (cars drive closer to people wearing bike helmets), and the helmet costs money, and it looks bad. My judgement is that the helmet's cost outweighs its benefit in most circumstances, just like walking helmets (yes, they exist!).
Well, that "problem" presupposes an upward or stagnant trend, which are not demonstrably true. Then the admittedly harmful act of racism was used to accelerate resolution of "that problem".

Here's the problem with that:

- it was not demonstrated that other more productive forms of change were ineffective; in fact, history shows there has been tremendous progress in the absence of "racism to fight racism"

- it has not been shown that "racism v racism" has improved "that problem"

- it is yet to be shown the negative consequences of such a strategy, but history is full of examples of further suffering, not less

You call it "reasonable", and yet I find a complete lack of reason in its use. When challenged to provide reason, all responses I've witnessed reflect an attitude of, "I don't need to give you a reason/justify it".

To my mind, that is precisely absent of reason, so I challenge your assertion that it is in any way "reasonable".
Bitcoin's a little different. It seems to peak every 4 years when the miner rewards are halfed.
While I certainly agree that aggressive timelines often get modified, especially with new launch systems, initial estimates in 2016 were for first flight in 2020.[0] Then they pushed to 2021.[1] Additionally, the fact that they called out Q4 2022 (late in the year) doesn't give me a lot of confidence they'll even get it done in 2022 either.

I mean, that's a poor man's excuse because you can say that about anything. USD is only worth something because enough people believe it is, same with gold, same about anything worth value.
Why would they bother going into the EU or US?
But I mean, you can just buy a different type of car. Like, if you feel really strongly that every car ought to have a headphone jack because otherwise consumers are stripped of their right to play music through a headphone jack in their car, you can buy a car that has one. You aren't forever stuck on the bus, you just have to look at more than one whole car before you decide which one to buy.

Same goes for Apple; I would never use an Apple device, because I like to have control over my technology. Somehow, despite my amazingly brave stand against tyranny and capitalism, I still have a phone, running a LineageOS install that took me 20 minutes and an online guide to get running years ago. On the other hand, if I wanted to give my grandma a device I was confident she couldn't somehow force into a bad state, I would like it to be legal to sell me one.
