Ah, they went with the "electric kilogram". The other plan was to build up a regular structure with a known number of silicon atoms. That idea was to make a perfect crystal and count the number of atoms on each face. Apparently that's almost possible, although hard to do.
Meta: There are lots of very good VPS providers around like Vultr, Digital Ocean, Linode, etc., but none are able to compete with EC2 on the storage front. Backblaze should partner with or even create one that leverages its immense storage capability to provide S3 and EBS competition integrated with a cloud offering. That would be awesome, since EC2 actually kind of sucks on the compute and network front (slow, flaky, no IPv6).
Those UI screens look gorgeous, but are they really practical? By that I mean the software-based buttons. Would they be used in something this critical, surely a physical switch/button (maybe as a backup?) would be far better in this kind of situation?

That being said most of those displays look like information displays rather than control panels.

The study was very flawed. The 85 percentile walking speed for pedestrians (1.2 m/s) is for when people start the crossing at the end of green man. So some 15 percent of the people are slower. However if youo take into account most people start crossing before the end of the green man, then the time is ample. "the sensor-controlled systems" - are hopelessly inefficient and actually confusing for pedestrians.

A countdown which displays the time until the red-man is best for a balance of all users.
The piece does say this: "In 1942, the Museum of Modern Art praised the functionality of Pyrex designs by featuring several products in its exhibition “Useful Objects in Wartime under $10.” Around the same time, the company was developing a line of tough white dishes for military mess halls made from tempered soda-lime instead of borosilicate, making them less heat-resistant but also less likely to shatter when dropped. After World War II, this military glassware evolved into the brand’s popular Opalware line of kitchenware."

...their technology infrastructure is a JOKE! Try writing BIM automation scripts when your network admin won't even let you have root access.

You aren't suggesting that such root access would be any less of a joke? Maybe it's just me, but deploying scripts should be authorized for one or more separate roles, none of which are "root" or managed by the network guy.

Well yea. That's no different than that Amazon would have to develop an app for Roku or AppleTV.

Everything else remains constant, the only difference is supporting Chromecast is just implementing an API to your already existing application versus supporting another device is developing a whole new application for that device.

Third-party support is much easier to gain for Chromecast.

> Honestly, it sounds like you just haven't been to any city with a high (15%+) bike modal share, because then you'd see how your assumptions are wrong. If you live in America, that's understandable, because we don't have any major cities like that. But they do exist, elsewhere in the world. Visiting Amsterdam or Copenhagen could be eye-opening.

I believe you, for sure, I just don't think the concept in this article does it correctly. You're right that I've never been to Copenhagen or Amsterdam, but honestly, do they have roofs that slope to the ground so they can be bike ramps, and extra wide hallways to permit bike riding indoors, with pedestrians marginalized to the side of the corridor even inside their own homes?

A more bike friendly city is definitely more inclusive. But prioritizing bikes at the expense of pedestrians isn't correct either.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if every use of language that can somehow be etymologically linked to a questionable cultural norm is worth expunging. Human languages are such that many expressions mutate to points where they entirely shake off original meanings. For instance, in some Slavic languages to this day it is perfectly normal and mundane to refer to Germans and the German language as "nemci," which literally means "mute people". It might have been intended derogatorily, but after centuries of use it has become neutered and most people don't even realize the etymology, nor do they say the word with any negative intent.

To tilt too much in the other direction is to preemptively assume the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis as an objective reality, when it is nowhere near that strong.

I like Python better as a language, but Python's libraries take more work to understand and the APIs aren't very unified. R is much more regular and the documentation is better. Even complicated and obscure machine learning tasks have good support in R. BUT the performance for R can be very, very annoying. Assignment is slow as all hell and it can often take work to figure out how to rephrase complicated functions in a way that R can figure out how to do efficiently. I think being much more functional than Python works well for data. I mean the L in LISP stands for list! Visualizations are also easier and more intuitive in R, too, IMO. Especially since half the time you can just wrap some data in "plot" and R will figure our which one it should use.

I think the conclusion of the article is correct. R is more pleasant for mathier type stuff, while Python is the better general-purpose language. If your jobs involves showing people powerpoint presentations of the mathematical analysis you've done,you'd probably want to use R. If, on the other hand, you're prototyping data-driven applications, Python would probably be better.

That said, I really like Julia, but can't justify really diving into it at this point. :\

under a Richter magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquake
with an epicenter near the Bridge, it would experience
severe damage that could close this important
transportation link for an extended period. If a Richter
magnitude 8.0 or greater earthquake centered near the
Bridge, there would be a substantial risk of impending
collapse of the San Francisco and Marin Approach
Viaducts and the Fort Point Arch, and extensive damage
to the remaining Bridge structures, including the Main
Suspension Bridge.

Honestly the desktop Linux (and BSD) world is rather better served by fun new language technologies than iOS or Android is.

Sadly, I don't know of any hotbeds of high fashion from the Netherlands.

Wanted to be the “Zappos of pants”.

I’m a frequent shopper of Bonobos and Zappos. One glaring flaw is their shipping speeds. I felt in its earlier days, Zappos really paved the way for fast and convenient shipping. Order a pair of shoes, and you get it on your front porch in 1-2 days. I rarely shop at clothing stores now. I like to have clothes and shoes delivered so that I may try them at my leisure in the comfort of my own home and debate whether to keep the purchase for a couple of days.

Bonobos shipment takes approximately 5 business days if you live in Northern CA (which is where I am at.) Returns also take awhile. Approximately 2 weeks from when I initially ship the item, to when I receive the return on my CC. You can’t be the “Zappos of pants”, if your shipping speeds take 5 business days.

Their customer experience is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. They are really polite and really responsive.

Additionally, if you visit one of their brick and mortar shops, and you order through their reps at the store, you will get a sizable discount. Grab that person’s card, and try to make future orders through that person for discounts in the future.
I think there's a different culture in places where bikes remained (like Netherlands & Denmark) as a major vehicle type and where they can back in recent decades.

In the places where they came back, it was a trendy sporty thing. Very expensive bikes became normal and when these new age cyclists try to use their bikes for transport they hit the theft and vandalism issue. Part of the solution in (EG) Netherlands is riding fairly inexpensive & simple bikes so that theft is not such a show stopper.

To the sporty newcomers, this seems like a crappy trade-off.

In fairness, The Netherlands is flat & small. You can cycle from the outskirts to centres of major cities in 30-45 minutes and even between some cities (EG Hague & Rotterdam) in an hour. Even with the wonderful infrastructure, it's probably not applicable in places like Sydney. To get from the centre to the western suburbs where most people live would take 3+ hours cycling. On a rickety Amsterdam classic it'd be quite a chore, much hillier and hotter. Even inner city Sydneysiders travel farther that Amsterdam Suburbanites. So, sydney cyclists dreaming of a bike-first world are thinking about maximum speed, the fitness to power up hills, sweat clothes and showers at every destination.
Bad at English and attention to detail are two different things. Thoroughness, attention to detail, and knowing how to rigorously shake something down for at-a-glance defects are all skills -- disciplines -- I would expect out of a good software developer.
We tried Mattermost at work, and it was pretty terrible. Things like "show new messages" didn't work, which sort of defeats the purpose of a chat app. After that we tried RocketChat, which seems a lot closer to Slack in terms of features and appearance. From our perspective they were just too rough around the edges for functionality, with a lot of things almost-working-but-not-quite. The caveat to all of this is that we wanted something that JustWorks, so while we did put in some effort to fix configuration and even some bugs in the software, we didn't commit to them 100% so YMMV.

We started up on Zulip when it came out a few weeks back, and it's been much better and more consistent. Streams and topics take a while to get used to, but they make it easier to have public conversations with some semblance of organization. If you don't like / can't afford Slack, or if you have privacy needs that make it a non-starter, I would recommend giving Zulip a try.

To complicate things a little bit, Intel actually funded the research underlying this patent. This was the crux of the WARF vs Intel suit a few years ago — Intel argued they received a license to the patent as part of their grant.

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1557536/intel-settl...

"Intel had supported Sohi's research with about $90,000 in gifts in the 1990s and argued it was entitled to the intellectual property that resulted from Sohi's work.

However US District Judge Barbara Crabb laughed Chipzilla's argument out of court and ordered the case to trial.

She said that the funding terms did not give Intel the right to use patents resulting from the work. However she said that any infringement by Intel was not willful because the funding agreements were ambiguous."
I thought this was for real up until he showed Sheri his painting.
Just to flesh out my parent's point, while the internet existed and was widely available in 1995, its impact over 3 years was far less impressive than expected, but its impact over 20 years is far more impressive than expected.

The internet "bubble" is the surest sign of this. Many people thought that everyone would buy groceries via the internet by the late 90s. Grocery delivery via the internet can be a good business, but it wasn't ready 3 years after web browsers got popular. The experience wasn't good enough, the cost of operation was too high, and not enough people were there to use it.

Today though, I can speak a few sentences to a wireless black glass box I keep in my pocket, and groceries will arrive at my house in the hour. Beyond that though, I can instantly feel a tingling buzz when someone on the opposite side of the globe wants my attention. Major celebrities have lived their entire careers on the internet. World leaders converse and issue statements via a short-message public-ish broadcast system we can all see instantly. Multiple currencies powered solely by shared public work and cryptography are in wide use. Major mathematical discoveries have been made by free associations of mathematicians in blog discussion threads.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, but it's already far more profound than online groceries. The effects of the internet over decades are essentially unfathomable, but we were far too optimistic about them in the short term.

I'm also not sure I'm getting you. In JSON, types can be unambiguously deferred by syntax/via gramar. You can't mistake JSONString for JSONNumber/JSONNullLiteral/JSONBooleanLiteral, the type is absolutely clear from the syntax. So I don't see how a schema would help here. What would the schema express? Surely not "this is a number" as it is clear without the schema. What then?

And what exactly do you mean by "semantics around type handling are implied", especially in `{ number: 1.0000000000000000000000000000001 }` case?

I just read through the LightSquared story and am pretty intrigued!

One of the fascinating demonstrations of the fact that GPS is relatively interference robust is that Galileo (ESA GNSS system) runs on the same frequencies as GPS; the different spreading codes mean that receivers can choose which signal to listen to.

Reading about the LightSquared system though, they do talk about a quite real concern: overloading the receiver's frontend entirely. That's one of the concerns that would be addressed by using directional antennas (if you're receiving interference, rotate your antenna so that the source is in an antenna null). As far as I know, most civilian receivers wouldn't have a directional antenna, they'd have an omni so that they work in any orientation; it'd suck if your iPhone could only receive GPS signals if it were sitting flat. On a military vessel, it'd make a lot more sense to mount an upward-cone-looking antenna high up on a mast to avoid sources of surface interference.

I'm super curious now though! I've got a software GPS receiver set up, I'd like to try injecting noise into the (virtual) signal chain and see how much noise power is necessary to lose lock. If anyone's curious, GNSS-SDR works great with $20 RTLSDR radios: http://gnss-sdr.org/source-code

Edit: I did a bit more research, and it sounds like overloading the front-end is the most common approach to jamming. People are turning on multi-watt transmitters in their vehicles (e.g. to block fleet management GPS from detecting their location). Despite the amount of power they're putting out, they seem to be limited in range to around 50 feet.

It's also pretty satisfying to see http://www.novatel.com/assets/gajt/pdf/gajt-white-paper.pdf which indicates that the solution I came up with (directional antennas with nulls pointed at the interference sources) is a solid strategy for mitigating jamming.
You already can (sort of): http://RoboVM.com
It also works with other JVM languages such as Kotlin which is somewhat similar to Swift.
When Bonobos first came on the scene, it was difficult to find a pair of men's pants with a decent fit at a decent price. I don't consider myself a Bonobos enthusiast, but I can say that putting on a pair of Bonobos pants after years of billowing tent pants was revelatory insofar as a pair of men's pants can be. It is worth noting that I bought these at a heavy clearance discount ($20 to the normal ~$90).

But now, it isn't difficult to find well fitting men's clothes. Since buying that first pair of Bonobos, I've found clothes that fit just as well, for similar quality and much lower prices.
It's the fit. If you have an athletic build they are a godsend.
