What's an effective way to evaluate third party studies? I usually find that those are more biased. Someone might defend an iPhone simply because she has an iPhone, but it wouldn't be very strong product loyalty. Blogs, news, articles on iPhones could actually be paid.
when is it launching?
What you have just said is very postmodern and the meta-narrative (or meta-sentiment) could be applied to virtually anything. I was merely trying to shift the focus of the heated discussion here as things were getting homogenous and reddit-like.
Theoretically I would agree. Medical science mostly just tried it in clinical studies. Of paramount important though is that the patient makes the decision to take the risk. This is were economics is lacking in my opinion.

But even if you are sure you got the model right, you still need a long time study to prove it. The current discussion on e-cigs are mostly about informing people that they are taking a risk because there are unanswered questions.

Putting a man on the moon was a lot of risk and there were many unknowns and I am sure the pilots knew that very well. Gladly, they still did it.

> experimental psychology

had precisely the problem that their patients often didn't really have a choice in that matter. So I think the field deserves its place. They might need to shed a lot of hubris before they can be taken seriously again. I wouldn't put economics on that level, but they often seem to gravitate to similar mistakes.

It is exactly as you mentioned, you click the notebook, it renders and opens a Kernel on the background.

The plots have a default dark theme, but can be changed in the same way as if it was inside a normal Jupyter instance.

It's pretty convenient, but a bit buggy still for larger notebooks (I have to constantly save or some actions cause the cells to rollback in time).
Same here. I didn't want to give them my number and they blocked my account because of 'suspicious behaviour'.

Now I wrote to their support after reading this and I am very interested in their response.

I think if they go on trying to force me I will just delete the account. This is the only thing that helps those companies to understand their users needs when they have problems listening or seeing them on their own, I'm afraid.
> it isn't SMS 2FA that is insecure, it is the telco themselves

I have some rope at home. The manufacturers specify it's blue, 8mm, polypropylene and for 'general use' but they don't say anything about its strength. Cost about $5.

If I lift something with it and it breaks, is it the rope's fault, or my fault for selecting the wrong rope?

SMS is the same way - is sim jacking the telco's fault, or is a company using SMS 2FA as dumb as lifting a piano with my $5 rope?
Destiny 2 is free on Steam, no gold needed.
Considering the first part of that challenge is that they submerge the hilux in the sea, I can't see the tesla holding up too well. Would love to see it though!
Like stated on the page it probably helps to stop comparing yourself to others. You call it "information disadvantage", but exactly this is the feature. Social media is distorting our views. I see your point though, this doesn't defeat any biased algorhitms. But I don't think that is the point of this addon either.
Also 1password has built in support for TOTP codes. The killer feature is that must have saved me ~hours is that it automatically copies the TOTP code to my clipboard after login

That page is a bit too much marketing fluff for my linking. A couple other interesting pages on the 4004:

* An oral history from the developers [1]. One interesting part is that Intel procrastinates for months on developing the chip. Faggin gets hired to work on the chip, and Shima flies in from Japan the very next day to check on progress. He's very upset to find out that nothing has happened and starts yelling at Faggin, who just got there. They eventually work together to get the chip finished.

* Federico Faggin's website [2] with his perspective on the chip.

[1] http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/Oral_Histo...

[2] http://www.intel4004.com/

And I should mention that Texas Instruments built and announced the TMX-1795 microprocessor chip before the 4004. This chip's architecture and instruction set was basically identical to the 8008 (since both were copies of the Datapoint 2200). Texas Instruments patented the TMX-1795 (which was a hugely valuable patent) and then abandoned the chip because it didn't work well.
Sorry for these mistakes. Thanks a ton for the feedback. Will update ASAP. :)
In the late 90's there were several great QBasic communities (NeoZones was one I would frequent the most). I think these more than the fondness of the language/IDE were what kept me interested in learning software. Most of the communities seemed to die along with popularity of the language in the early 2000's.
This is fantastic. My first game was in GW-BASIC, but I quickly upgraded once I discovered QBasic on DOS 6.22. I also loved the MS-DOS Shell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_Shell) found on the supplemental disk of v6.22. It felt like multitasking...but wasn't.
Do you have an actual answer to that question? Because it seems like a bad plan to spend trillions of dollars on something if you can't even show that it works.
Function outlining can be done, if it's not being done, you don't have the right options or it's deciding it's not profitable.

(and FWIW, ICC has done this for at least 8 years)
Is there a solution for when you have anything more than 5 primary sections in your app? The Apple suggestion would probably be to reconsider the scope of your app, but what if that's just simply not coincident with your goals? Shit out of luck?
Many topics branch exponentially as they become more complex making it difficult to train on the many variations that may occur. Do you want to get a student comfortable with the concept and get them going and then guide them to a place where they can begin to help themselves.

In tech, docs are difficult to use if you don’t quite know what you should be referencing. But after becoming familiar with the concepts, terms, and having gained some practical experience, the docs begin to unleash their power.

Saying that I agree that there is often quite a bit of track left even after the basics. At the least, taking the student down an increasingly complex path that although maybe not directly useful, helps build more experience.

But, you will probably get fewer views from content that is possibly more difficult and time consuming to build.
I worked with it about 10 years ago.
Yeah, I wouldn't go as far as say that it impedes communication, but it's more common than one might expect for a random conversation to derail into a conversation about dialect differences.
True, although in the vast majority of cases JWTs are sent via HTTP headers (specially if you're making requests to multiple domains).
Finally! This is what I've been waiting for.

Remember that Skynet was written in COBOL:

The author has no idea what the average bodybuilder thinks. How laughable would it be if I, as a bodybuilder, grabbed a handful of comments from assorted /r/cscareerquestions threads to demonstrate what the average programmer thinks about some topic in software engineering?

Even worse, BB.com is a traditional forum with no voting system; there's no way to validate whether the opinions expressed are held by most bodybuilders or just the musings of a slightly-informed bro.
If he really knew how to make money the stock would have performed better. Perhaps he knew how to make money in some industries, and lose money in others.

> Back in the day while I was at Google, you could look at anyone else's calendar

Maybe that is why google screws up its data security outside too. Such things shouldnt be allowed in the first place.

Outlook is great comparing to this.
Don't be a sucker. This is very standard union-busting behavior: demonize the organizers and make it seem like their organizing behavior is egregious.
I mean, it is pretty ironic to have Google fire someone for intruding on someone's privacy... Quite a turnaround. I don't know if I fully believe their side of the story but not sure if there's much reason to think otherwise. Does Google have a long history against unions or something?
._.

Thanks.
You shouldn't be able to see exact activity with details, no reason for that. Just availability info. Another point is, how stupid is somebody when they put their personal activities in their work calendar. Google enabled this, and I am pretty sure there isn't a part in the original contract that prohibits that.

At our 80k multinational mega corp, we don't see each other's calendars, and we do those meetings with staff around whole globe. No real issues with this.

All this looks very much like google trying to paint leavers in as bad light as possible. This vengeful approach is very unprofessional and casts bad light on google and individual managers involved.
> A good chunk of countries, counties and cities on the planet have mythical beasts in their official signage. So do the militaries and companies dealing with them.

Yes they do and that isn't a problem. There is a difference between using symbols and names and then branding your entire website with said things.

> From the other end, entrepreneurial scene is full of discussions about a particular mythical beast, the unicorn (as 'DoreenMichele pointed out upthread).

The link 'DoreenMichele sent is not the point. I don't care about signage I care about branding. Starbucks isn't using the Mermaid mythology in how it describes its company, it uses it as signage. That's fine no issues there.

Side note: I think the "unicorn" obsession in the tech sector is stupid and overrated. If a company advertises that it's looking for its next "unicorn-x" then I pretty much write them off.

> Really, it doesn't seem to me that you're uncomfortable with mythical beasts per se. It's just this creature isn't part of the old, baseline culture. It isn't Greek/Roman/Chinese mythology. It's a part of the nerd subculture. That's what I think you're uncomfortable with.

I think that's a pretty big leap to make. I have no issues with a company calling itself "Cthulu". I have an issue with how it is plastered all over the site and has even formed its mission statement around it.
Comment age is also a factor: an older comment has more points than a similarly ordered newer comment.

So, when scanning downwards, score is inversely proportional to age.
Sort of mirrors the 10,000 hours of practice theory.
The "recognize our own assumptions, prejudices, biases, or point of view" part is really difficult to do.
A bad team isn't going to be made good because of lunch. But I think the point of the article is that it can make a good team (full of very skilled people who are unenthused about their work experience) into a great time (full of very skilled people who enjoy spending time with each other much more). And sure, a group that constantly bickers isn't going to instantly transform because of spending time together, but it could build enough of a community to bring together groups that get along fine but aren't that friendly.
Do you honestly think MegaCorp One has no protections/oversight in place to protect other MegaCorps that use its services?
I worked at a very well known animation studio in a kind of Intern position for 8 weeks (I worked on a movie that rhymes with 'Fungle Book Three'), and my short experience sounds very similar to this bloke's. The most prestigious companies that everyone is happy to brag about working are sometimes the worst to work for? I've had nearly 10 jobs and this was _the worst_.

What causes it? Talented people continue to work there and middle management and infighting rips everyone to shreds. I worked during 'crunch time' which apparently 'happens on every production'.

The most psychotic thing from TFA is where a higher up pulls him in to a meeting room to accuse him of "questioning their authority" over a private email saying "I know the schedule is unrealistic, but guys we shouldn't be watching youtube videos during work hours". Who does that?

> pizza? that's not "pizza", that's a dressed up keema naan at best.

May I ask where you live? In some US states it is tough to find pizza good enough to make you see why this type of pizza can be so amazing. If my first hamburger had been ordered in England, I'm pretty sure I'd think hamburgers were terrible and pointless.
They're both round and relatively flat (in proportion to their diameter).

For "deep dish" pizzas especially they are even baked in a similar pan.

C'mon, it's not THAT much of a stretch.
Test::Unit is a testing tool. However, it can be used to facilitate design. That's a lot of what TDD/BDD is about!
Microsoft needs more then a horde of clone phones. Maybe MS and Nokia can create something special that helps both? (Yes, MS wouldn't do HTC, Samsung etc. a favour with special Nokia treatment).
But you're right, Android is certainly more market proven, but also more ordinary.

Exactly. I only alluded briefly to Shoulda (and Coulda) in my post. I live and die by them.

Context is king.

BTW, while I may beat up on RSpec, I learned much of how I perceive TDD indirectly from David Chelimsky. I may not be an RSpec fan any more but I'm a huge David fan.
The inflated value of Tesla as a company is mostly based on full self driving whose status Musk has continually lied about for years. Gates/Jobs did nothing of the sort.
Correct, though could be an insider (friend of a child for example). If my house burns down and my trousers with it I'm toast.
It also shows a lack of understanding of how JS and CSS works in the browser. Disabling only JS would prevent anything from happen as CSS doesn't execute any code here, the JS part is responsible for that.

Except for enjoying a web without styles, there is no reason to disable CSS (together with disabling JS). You're not gonna prevent any more JS fudgery by having JS and CSS disabled compared to just JS disabled.
Banner of the Stars addressed it by cooling peak loads via disposable coolant instead of solely relying on radiative cooling. It became a limiting factor during a large-scale fleet battle.

> But it's not giving up on Intel fabs to get their stuff produced by TSMC.

Manufacturing at the leading edge is getting increasingly expensive, to the point where every fab other than TSMC, Samsung, and Intel has bowed out over the years and has never operated on the leading edge again.

A major part of the reason for this consolidation is that fabs need more and more economies of scale in order to make up the cost of the initial investment in the fab. If you can't achieve those economies of scale, then the manufacturing node will never be profitable, and whoever's bankrolling it will quickly pull the plug. (GlobalFoundries exiting the 7nm market is the most recent example of this.)

If Intel outsources leading edge production to TSMC or Samsung, they will lose operational experience and infrastructure needed to operate fabs at the leading edge, and their fabs will never be competitive for leading edge production again (barring a major misstep by TSMC or Samsung).
That’s precisely what is so amazing about it, relative to even a well-captured snapshot in time
Terrorism is not justifiable.
The Canadians did as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Canadian_internment
Nitpick: Those things are not p-values.
Sure it's plausible. It's just incredibly unlikely (not least because this notion that the TSA is some white power apparatus seems to be at odds with the reality that the TSA is a very diverse workforce. Add that the passenger list in most urban centers is incredibly diverse, and this idea that it's just xenophobia seems quite nonsensical. Another post talks about how this demonstrates how the US views "foreigners" -- have these people never been to New York City, where this happened? It is about the most inclusive, vibrant, multicultural place on the planet).

Indeed, the narrative of this very story seemed to be overwhelmingly focused on figuring out why he was setting off the explosives detectors. They repeatedly went through his belongings and tried to figure out if he was indeed in the business of making explosions. They almost certainly used a secret warrant to go into his apartment to, again, see if there was an explosives lab there. They really thought they had something when the explosives detector found something it didn't like, and there is no rational reason they would do this just because someone was Muslim (again, Muslims make hundreds of millions of flights in the US -- do people seriously think this is what they go through?)
The pressure to succeed vs the pressure to show progress in any form or fashion, eh?
I'm more/also interested in the note about paid sick leave.

For a Californian out there -- is the state going to directly provide this benefit, or is it a requirement of the employer? I can't imagine a state agency being able to efficiently manage providing it but the article isn't clear.
I think my assumption is justified. To address your suggestion, it is safe to say tht early stage startups which are inclined to over meeting are guaranteed failures no matter what.
Love it. I started my career in International Development and one of my team's first projects was figuring out how many miles our organization's 1000+ staff flew in a year (why is a separate story). The travel agent could only provide records in PDF. 1000's of them.

The intern I shared an office with was assigned to go through each record, type the origin and destination airport codes into an online flight distance calculator, and enter the results in a spreadsheet. After two days of watching this I volunteered to take over and spent a few nights learning enough Java to read/write CSV and make the HTTP request. Saved days of pain for the intern and was a satisfying accomplishment as a novice.
I don't know how oscilloscopes work. Is the sound in the game producing the actual image or is it generated from something else?
> "Talking it out" isn't an option when you're dealing with code that's older than last week, let alone code written by developers that you've never met - you can't talk it out retroactively.

Omitting dots and parens is so superficial that you could change the code purely mechanically to your preferred style. Just like running an autoformatter on someone's code before reading it because you don't like their indentation style.
Cocoa was named partly as a pun of Java. Remember when NeXTStep was folded into Apple, Java was getting a lot of attention.
> I've always found it curious how nonchalant people are with dangerous substances before it's realized how hazardous they can be.

Well, we smoke cigarettes knowing that they are harmful to us.
You say: "Ironically, Microsoft unintentionally helped create Ajax. The x in Ajax is from the XMLHttpRequest object, which lets the browser communicate with the server in the background while displaying a page. (Originally the only way to communicate with the server was to ask for a new page.) XMLHttpRequest was created by Microsoft in the late 90s because they needed it for Outlook. What they didn't realize was that it would be useful to a lot of other people tooÂ—in fact, to anyone who wanted to make web apps work like desktop ones."

I think that's slightly off -- I think the folks who designed XMLHttpRequest fully understood its general utility. I think they're thrilled that lots of really interesting apps are being built on top of it. I think the problem was that the people writing apps at Microsoft didn't realize you could now use this to write compelling web-based apps.
A better algorithm than marching cubes is surface nets, which doesn't have ambiguous cases and isn't patented AFAIK. See: https://0fps.net/2012/07/12/smooth-voxel-terrain-part-2/
It makes sense to me. I channel 100 per month for the winter heating bill, no need to think about that, it's automatically there. I channel 500 per month for petty cash, don't dive into the rest, it's automatically there. I channel 200 per month for annual insurances, no need to think about that, it's automatically there. Etc.

It's a personal direct-debit, like using rules on one's email.
You know what a good manager looks like after they leave. It's like being a newsreader, you don't notice a good one but a bad one is very obvious.

Password rejection rules are the primary cause of sticky notes with passwords under the keyboard/on the screen - and they are phishable, loggable, videoable and can be deduced from the keyboard click sounds.

Awesome! Completely agree its in the early days. Out of interest, how did you find these part time jobs, just by searching Google?
On the plus side, Firefox for Android loads up quite a lot faster relative to the built-in Browser and Chrome today than it used to in the XUL days.
Exactly, a cellphone app can get the job done but it is a great cognitive deviation from whatever task you had at hand at the moment you realize you ran out of something(1). So amazon's dash button is not an innovation on getting something done, but get it done faster and more conveniently, and that alone makes sense for an enterprise whose profit depends greatly from understanding consumer behavior. So I agree with TeMPOraL, it is not ridiculous at all.

And there's a bigger picture outside of comparing the convenience between using this little button as opposed to mobile apps, but that's off topic for this branch of the conversation, if you're interested IMHO & my brief reasoning, read this other brach[2] (also because DRY).

(1): Optimally you realize you are about to run out of something before it happens.
