As far as rebellions go, that one was pretty understaffed.

One important thing missing here that even without signature verification you can only cast votes for people registered to vote. That really isn't very fraudy in my book.
PayPal was founded on this premise in 1998: Contactless payments through Palm Pilots. Wasn't a new idea at that time either.

This wasn't to you specifically. It's a common complaint I have that buttons that take me somewhere and act like links should be links.
I agree that genuine exchanges with the people in your life should be kept. As well as anything about purchases, invoices, salary notes etc. But my point is that these days newsletters, spam, notifications, ads, etc. make up a huge part of many people's email traffic.

If you are in the habit of exchanging a large amount of documents and pictures over email, a dedicated storage solution might be more appropriate.

Work-related communication, as in freelancing, might deserve a separate mailbox that is kept clean of unimportant things.
Not really.

For Example: When GDPR went into effect many companies here in Germany were not really surprised and did not have to change much (if anything).

Why? Because it has always been like this. Some of the specifics changed but in the grand total, things stayed the way they were.
I enjoyed this but I think it could use some refinement.

I feel like you should either remove the timer, or accept any correct three words. Being punished for coming up with three words that fit, but aren't the three words you expected, is kind of frustrating.

To be honest I find the fact that it evaluates one word at a time to be pretty jarring. I want to be able to try letters in spots without the game yelling at me that they're wrong before I've committed to them. Instead I basically need to replicate the game board down below in the negative space.
Sure. Yes, security is hard. You got me there. Javascript does not decrease your attack surface, and is not, in fact, magic.

That's not a free-pass negation of my point that crashing a browser tab is substantially less severe than a kernel panic, and thus likewise greater engineering due diligence is needed for its code. There's nothing magical about it.
There were a few alternatives on the client side. Not many, but they do exist: Java was supposed to be the alternative for building web based applications, but Applets didn't gain wide adoption. Flash did better but eventually became unnecessary as the web stack itself got good enough to build things like Google Docs, Processing.JS and such. Then there are the "transpilers" like GWT and the various *script dialects that compile to HTML/JS/CSS. On the server side there are tons of alternatives, of course. Even things like Virtx.io that has bindings to a number of languages including JS.

Those are some of the alternatives - at the end of the day most people seem to prefer going back to straight HTML/CSS/JS to build things. They're not perfect but they're pretty easy to learn, they separate the concerns of content, presentation and logic, and they work everywhere (sometimes with a little help from jquery or modernizr).
> I feel like its just hurtling down a trajectory of becoming the assembly of the web.

IMHO that's the best possible thing which could happen to it. JavaScript is a hideous, ugly, horrible, broken language. But so is machine code, and it doesn't matter because I can write in real languages and let a Sufficiently Intelligent Compiler™ figure out how to encode my program. If I could write in a real language and have it compiled to JavaScript, I'd be a lot happier about writing browser-based apps.

(I'm still not happy about every single web page demanding executable code in order to, e.g., display a blog entry, but that's a different issue)

Even if it won't ruin you, unexpectedly having to shell out over a thousand dollars for a new laptop might be so much of a hassle that it's worth "wasting" a few bucks each month to not have to worry about it.
This point-free programming style is good thing but requires knowing the exact method signatures. Luckily there are ways to easily adapt callbacks http://bahmutov.calepin.co/point-free-programming-is-not-poi...

Yes. However, it's "something else", meaning that the ecosystem is dramatically different. Furthermore, the majority of that ecosystem should be evacuated on a regular basis. E.g. bury an apple in soil during humid warm weather, and a week later it may be substantially decomposed; float it in a regular toilet bowl and it will recognizably still be an apple.
Ultimately not everyone will want to take part and the ones that do will form a clique that is in the know. I’ve experienced this and other unofficial cliques over the years. People who smoke was one; people at all levels of the company forced into a small area a few times a day. They were always well informed. Another is people who like to come in late and work all evening. This excludes those with family, and I worked at several places where important meetings and work were done after 6pm
I’m 20 years into my career and your results are as good as or better than my last job search. You’re doing fine.
> I think as professional engineers it behooves us well to prefer actual argument and exposition of engineering tradeoffs over authority ("whole industry does it", "learn from good books").

That really depends on what you want to achieve. e.g. if you want to retain the possibility to fire a whole team and replace it with newcomers, or external contractors, at any point in the development cycle, it is muuuuch safer to stick to what is taught in most schools (which is "tradtional OOP").
Do you have Proton (Valve's supercharged Wine distro) on macOS? Here on Linux, Steam's game coverage has improved significantly because of Proton
Does that mean you _would_ agree with this position if the qualifier "that has existed for more than X months" or "makes more than $X/year" was added?
I guess "great test tooling" and "broad library support" are subjective, but there are several contenders these days that I would say might fit those criteria

So how does this unit get its data onto WU? Does it transmit to the base unit using RF, which is connected to a computer, and then the computer (with special drivers/software?) sends the data to WU? Would it be possible to connect the base unit to a computer or RPi through USB and 'sniff' the weather off it, when it's transmitted to WU? Or to have the DNS resolver point to localhost and MITM the data, so to say - eventually without even sending the actual data on to WU?

I'm looking for a way to measure the weather and integrate it with my home automation system, and the central heating control eventually, and I'm willing to shell out for a high quality, reliable outdoor measuring device - but I'm not paying 300 bucks for a 'LAN module' nor will I rely on connectivity to the internet for correct functioning of the system.

Actually I think this is a major flaw in the OP's setup - if the weather is bad enough for him to need such a system, then surely it must be so bad that he loses internet connectivity every once in a while, probably at the times he will need the weather measurements the most?
So the title is "How My Mom Got Hacked" and the only thing it actually says about that actual title is:

The virus is thought to infiltrate your computer
when you click on a legitimate-looking attachment
or through existing malware lurking on your hard
drive, ...

So, there's really nothing about how his mom got hacked.

Don't get me wrong, it's an interesting article, interesting to read about the process that ensues once you've been hacked, and I've up-voted it, but I'm disappointed not to see anything about how it happened.
If events like Oklahoma City, Boston, and Sandy Hook have taught us anything, it's that terrorism doesn't have an ethnic profile. It's not only insulting, but also extremely unsafe to assume otherwise.

I'm surprised and embarrassed by how representatives of my country treated him. I'm embarrassed by their cultural ignorance. There should at least be some better training.

However, this should be a technology discussion and I completely agree with your comment. The question is about the machine, how often it provides a false positive, and how likely it is for someone to come in contact with a legal and common chemical that can set it off. In short: what have we sacrificed for this measure of safety, and does it really provide the advertised benefits?

If we have decently calibrated explosion detectors, then in the unlikely event that they do go off, I for one want that individual questioned very thoroughly, ethnicity and religion aside.

The title of the article should be: "Don't fly after handling Permethrin."
Wish it didn't require iOS 6. I don't upgrade my iPad after previous updates made it slow.
Oh, there may not be a choice about that.
Representative of themselves, really. The point being that even if PHP is different from everything else, PHP is big enough that their wacky antics are still significant, and PHP alone is enough to say that escaping parameters in SQL is still widespread.

Their vehicle safety score was 0.42, the closest one was 0.50. That's a big difference. The lowest with a 5 star rating was 0.66 and the average was 0.60. That's totally something they should be allowed to brag about, but they should have just used those numbers or clearly explained their methodology. I think they were just trying to show off that number in a familiar way, and I can't blame them too much for that.
On the enterprise or business to business side, signals are weaker, and signs of traction are harder to identify. However, Mattermark has found that tracking sales support materials (videos, whitepapers, and other documentation) is a signal and makes it easier to view traffic as an exhaust of the sales process.

Through this method, Mattermark listed cloud hosting startup Digital Ocean as its top pick for a pre-Series A company. The company raised a healthy round a few months later, mainly because of its success with developers.

This post seems to imply that Mattermark identified Digital Ocean as a promising pre-Series A company before anyone else. This isn't the case. Mattermark's Digital Ocean "call" was published on June 22, 2013. At the time, Digital Ocean's rise was being noted by others based on more meaningful criteria than "sales support materials" (see http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2013/06/13/the-meteoric-ri... for example), and as a 2012 TechStars participant, the company was almost certainly on the radar of investors for over a year.

For new investors, Mattermark and Dashboard.io aim to be a check on a startup’s performance. Both companies are also experimenting with their notifications system. Based on an investors’ specifications, they may be able to alert customers to a hot opportunity.

One of Morrill’s favorite examples is Instagram, a startup that was acquired by Facebook for a cool $1 billion, making its investors extremely rich. Back in Instagram’s early days in 2010-11, before the founders raised any significant funding, the photo-sharing app was growing its Twitter following at a double-digit percentage each month.

“It would have been a great signal that consumers were hooked, [and] the reality is that we could have identified it,” says Morrill.

This is a horrible example. Instagram's co-founder, Kevin Systrom, was a former Google employee who raised $500,000 from Baseline Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz in 2010 for a location-based service called Burbn. Instagram grew out of that, and when Instagram raised its Series A about a year later, the roster of investors was a who's who of Silicon Valley (Benchmark, Jack Dorsey, Adam D'Angelo, etc.).

The idea that Mattermark or a similar service could have identified Systrom and company before they were tapped into top-tier funding sources, enabling a less-than-well-connected angel or second or third-tier venture firm to get in on Instagram's Series A, is utterly unrealistic.

The serious angels and firms are actively engaged in the market and talking to founders on a daily basis, and serious founders looking for funding are making the rounds on Sand Hill Road, volunteering the most salient data that is almost never shared publicly (think revenue, revenue growth, etc.).

Mattermark's proposition seems to be "There are a couple of young guys who are wet behind the ears in a garage somewhere with a hot app, and if you call them up, you might be able to convince them to take your money before [insert prominent angel or firm] discovers them." That is a flawed proposition because this is simply not how the game works.
Now this is exciting stuff! Makes me hopeful that we might reach star trek level of mass replicators in every room within my lifetime

I wonder how well it actually performs though?
I am not claiming a contradiction in experimental outcomes, I am claiming that the quote draws an incorrect inference.
"A programmer sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and feels thirsty. Soon, he thinks of a solution. He will leave 2 glasses next to his bed. One full of water, in case he wakes up, and he is thirsty, and one empty glass, in case he wakes up, and he is not thirsty."
PG, Robert Morris and Paul Buchheit all at one company. Talk about hacktastic overload. In a good way. :)

Interesting point, I googled for 'who owns copyright blog comments' and found this (Google cache, the site itself is down):

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:6GfoIFr...

I'd like to hear if anyone else agrees or disagrees with this article (it seems to be a bit of a grey area).
No, I built my own. It really doesn't do much: it can turn a QScriptValue (think that's the name -- been a while and I'm on my phone) and turns it into one of a few basic types on the .NET side, and does the inverse. It also let's you call methods on QSVs, or hook up to signals. I just built it as needed to make my FTP hack work. It's got some nice magic that allows you to find connections between QObjects, though, which is how I can get access to everything in the client just from the lobby/table window handle. Qt doesn't provide the neccesary functionality, so my framework patches and hooks a few things, e.g. signal connections.

Edit: to address the separate release part, I really don't think I'd want to do that with this. It's one of the few serious barriers to entry (the object traversal magic, specifically) that makes it non-trivial to bot the hell out of FTP. While I like poker bots and all that, it's the most valuable part of what I have, by far.
I think it's more that the audience for a TextMate type editor is extremely small.

On one side, you've got all the IDEs, like NetBeans, IntelliJ & Eclipse (not to mention XCode) that go far beyond TextMate, really making the cost of TextMate seem ridiculous. On the other side you have free products that offer almost everything TextMate does for very simple editing.

Textmate was a good idea back when support for interpreted languages in an IDE was pretty much non-existent. Now that true IDEs have support for interpreted languages, there's no room for a TextMate type editor. Its time has come and gone.
Thanks. I applied it earlier.

One thing that drives me insane: I cannot see path of files in a folder. If there are duplicate file names, I have to modify the file and then open directories where I think it could be and to see if it has that "not yet saved" state.

Is there a quick way to do this I am unaware of? Or is it a feature coming in the future?

Hope you enjoy a nice restful weekend after your hard work getting this one out.
Sometimes it's interesting to think about how much better the world could be if we could design things without worrying about griefers.
I was in agreement with you until the final paragraph in which you basically attempt to rationalize why protestors breaking into the congress building are somehow much worse than the protestor behavior during CHAZ. A bunch of protestors kicking police out of your city block for a month is an affront to democracy every bit as much as protestors disrupting a congressional meeting for a few hours. In a democracy we obey laws and protest peacefully if we don't like something. Breaking down rule of law is never acceptable.
He should start digging around college campuses. We chopped down a bush in front of our fraternity house during undergrad and inside the foliage found beer cans dating back twenty years at least.
I recommend digging back into TD.W posts from the 4th and 5th; while most content wouldn't pass a strict test of an explicit threat, their clear intent was not to protest or express dissent, but to prevent vote certification from taking place, along with the usual invectives about "helicopter rides" and "Day of the Rope", etc.

The line is very tricky, as to what constitutes colorful metaphor, vs. explicit calls to violence. (My favorite satire on this dilemma: https://youtu.be/eg3_kUaYFJA) Regardless, the emotional energy and goals of that community on Jan 6th was extremely clear: to alter the due process of law by threat of force.

All that said, I'm quasi-absolutist on free speech issues, for the slippery-slope reasons you describe. Free speech doesn't end at 1A: it's a cultural value as well. Yet, it's also a tall order to enforce that value proactively: if a newspaper is not obligated to print every letter, should Twitter be obligated to let everyone have an account? There's a good argument for a "digital commons", and regulating tech giants as utilities; but the balance between an individual's freedom to share offensive views, and the freedom of service providers to choose to whom they offer service, is extremely murky.
I think you're conflating 2 different issues here. Or maybe I misunderstood you? If so sorry.

Trump did launch a Muslim ban back in early 2017. Scotus struck it down. People called it racist.

Trump later, separately, banned flights from China (with a bunch of exceptions, after most airlines already suspended them).

I don't think anyone mainstream called him racist for that did they? Nancy Pelosi criticised it for being too little and too late (since the virus was already spreading fast in the US). But did she call it racist?

Can you point me to who called Trump racist for the China travel ban?
Nothing about the singularity specifically requires creative AI; indeed, a large part of it is enhancing the existing potential of humans; replacing them outright is not necessarily the case. As it is, an article titled about AI and creativity without the gratuitous "singularity won't happen" would be more accurate, but so much less sensational and clickbait-y that it might not even be able to justify its own publishing, I guess.

Also, had to laugh at gratuitous misuse of "supercomputers".

Yet another layman grasping at concepts they don't understand... yawn. Such an interesting coincidence that someone who says "AI can't be creative" also happens to be an artist... Reminds me of Roger Ebert dismissing the potential of games vs. movies as he felt threatened by them. As it is, that is one of the most gross and ignorant misunderstandings of singularity, that people will be somehow marginalised or not valued rather than the main point being the next logical step of tools (post-)humans use for their own benefit.

Edit: Oh, look, that whole "...the greatest scientists are also artists." canard again. Why am I not surprised? There have been maybe two or three who were exceptional or even widely appreciated in both, which is indicative of a "renaissance man" who is proficient in many fields and not an overall tendency/requirement. While many are skilled in nonscientific fields too, I would hardly call Hawking, Feynman or Dawkins an artist just because they were good at speeches, lectures or books, for example.

I would also remind everyone that predictions of the future are so often pessimistic...

To be fair, the WeChat desktop client also requires that you scan a QR code from your smartphone to log in. I'm not defending WeChat, but it doesn't seem like the author knows WhatsApp is not alone there.

Agreed :)

Also agree here. I would prefer if you could minimize the number of actors you have to trust though.
