What did you use to solve these two use-cases?
What strikes me most is that the first paragraph is only dedicated to the benefit of Tesla, trying to downplay the event by comparing it to human drivers.

After three more paragraphs to deflect damage from Tesla the last paragraph - like an afterthought - is about the tragedy of the death of a person.

Perhaps this is just me.

I at least would have wished the first paragraph would have followed the headline of "A tragic loss".
Oscobo is a Yahoo partner. It is Motherpipe.com, so similar setup as DDG, but without the "owned" server in between.
It was explained elsewhere that the radar does not scan "up" to avoid collision warning for overpasses. Actually I remember reading a reddit thread months ago saying that a Tesla in Autopilot could, theoretically, hit a steel beam that was sticking out onto the road at around the roof height, because the radar wouldn't see it.

And I absolutely agree with your last sentence - these cars need more sensors.
While you're right that certain things may be quite difficult, just getting to zero or baseline is not enough for me to respect someone when I view their poor circumstance or difficulties as the direct consequence of their poor (and illegal) choices. I get to decide the way I feel about people, and breaking an addiction doesn't meet my bar. Similarly, I don't tell others how they should feel.

A quarter of our team was working remotely from Romania, so we decided to relocate. I had plans to go back to CA as soon as everything was in place, but for a while I wanted a vacation...

Are you seriously saying this lawyer is doing the wrong thing? Why don't you go and exercise your judgement what you think is right in your own life instead?

Its a long read but worth it.
Because you rip the benefits of being surrounded by people that had an education paid by the state, that were allowed to live because they had healthcare paid by the state, because they had mobility paid by the state, and a big number if things paid by the state. Not only that but you most probably benefited from all those things paid by the state as well.

You are contributing to being surrounded by members of society that are uplifted by that same society and that favors all. And again, if you don't like that, go and live away from civilization and don't pay your taxes, but stop complaining that you don't want to pay and then rip all the benefits the same.
It really depends on the kind of product you're building.

In certain situations, non-technical co-founders will have more work on their plate than the engineers. In other situations, they'll have very little to do.

It sounds like you're building the kind of product where engineering is most of the work. But it's still worth asking yourself: is engineering going to end up giving you a real competitive edge in your market? Or is it the marketing, operations, sales, or other back-of-house departments that will drive your business? If the former, maybe you don't need the founder. If the latter, than his might be the most important role.
Yeah, it seems sort of discomfiting to hear a claim that 'experienced professionals will sniff at this and not learn a thing from it'. You're not supposed to learn anything from this - its there so that the standard is set, and professionals - experienced, or otherwise - can refer to the standard, and measure performance against it.

An 'experienced professional' doesn't treat every document like a Bible from which new enlightenment can be gained. Often you need such things as this manual in order to quiet the rabble and give the mob something else to argue about, instead of eating themselves - as often happens when standards are not set and expectations not set and met.
For me at least this isn't didn't work. As just a small example I went to Europe for 3 months. Helsinki->Stockholm-Antwerp->Brussels->Berlin->Copenhagen->Tromso->Amsterdam->Koln->Dusseldorf->London. Seeing each city was great but the actual things to do start to get very similar. Each city has 2-3 churches. A bunch of art museums with many of the same artists. Yet another farmer's market or marketplace. Shopping centers with the same brands. etc..

I think it was "Happy Money" by Elizabeth Dunn that claimed their studies indicated that long vacations are not as effective as short vacations because most people get used to it quickly and the novelty wears off. That certainly fits my experience.

If her research is true then it would suggest taking a short trips every once in a while (a week or less?) would be more rewarding than a long trips.

Of course everyone is different. I'm sure some people love infinite travel.

The basic problem with Google is the age old software engineer problem, not knowing when enough is enough.

They kept tweaking results and trying to be helpful, and over time building a "bubble" around the individual user rather than trying to produce the objectively best results based on the query.
https://github.com/cht8687/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore#_... - the Array.prototype.find() method that's suggested has no support on Android's stock browser or Chrome for Android. That's a huge chunk of the browser market, but there's no mention of it on the list. In fact, there's no consideration for mobile at all on any of the suggestions.

If you're going to use any of the suggestions, check MDN or CanIUse first.

I think many people fail to understand that safety critical software can't rely on "highly competent programmers". No matter how competent, programmers can't be trusted to write safety critical code.

Safety critical software is all about the process and organization. The process must be so good that you can hire total newbie to write code and none of his sloppy work would get into the final product.

What you need is software engineer who writes 20 lines of code and can then justify each of the 100 lines in a resulting spreadsheet that is full MC/DC code coverage in processor instruction level. Then you need two testing engineers who can do the same for code that others have written. Then you need everyone to go trough every change, justify them, rewrite tests and provide reports.
In Australia police are funded at the state level, and most fines go to the state, but parking fines etc. go to the local councils.

The benefit is that you get more consistency between police training across the state and pooled resources. Certainly I think the police are more trusted here.

Is that still the case with Etcd v3? I remember reading somewhere that they were rewriting the Raft implementation in Etcd a good while ago.
27 and I feel the same way, in that I don't feel much excitement around technology for technology's sake anymore. The latest version of macOS? Neat, but unlikely to be as "game changing" as Apple might have you believe.

The rate of change in some areas of technology can make you think that you're missing out on some kind of important development, however if things are changing that fast then perhaps nothing is really changing at all.

Mostly it's important that in whatever you're working on you're applying technology to a problem or area that you find interest in, otherwise the only "fun" can be found in the tech stack, which is not (in my not-too-humble opinion) a good place to find enjoyment. You can enjoy your tools, sure, but it shouldn't be the case that "We're using X, Y and Z" is more important than "to make Foo".
What's interesting, I didn't know what exactly a tipper truck is, and I did a Google image search for that query. All of the trucks shown to me had highly visible underrun guards on their sides.

Security insanity: how we keep failing at the basics
Didn't see the original comment, but why wouldn't Apple do this? It could be as simple as allowing more complex visual effects (blurring, stereoscopic views), more features in general causing low-RAM devices to suffer.

It doesn't necessarily have to be evil or crazy that they do this. In fact it would be strange if they worried excessively about preserving the performance of all legacy devices.
Read the Greenpeace response in the update shown at the end of the article. They might be right.
According to the numbers there's a 25% probability it would have taken more than 130 million miles before the first fatality, assuming an average of 1 fatality every 94 million miles.

That's ignoring the fact that Tesla's autopilot might only be used in situations with a relatively low average number of fatalities per million miles.

Instead of searching for the compatibility of each individual function I would much rather just use a custom build of Lodash with the collection of functions I need (which can even be handled by your build process now and some tree shaking). And I get a lot of utility functions with it too that I use a lot like Throttle and Debounce.

I understand, that is a good observation. The Dart community is more closely knit, however the Nodejs community is a lot bigger and in a way is built up of multiple subcommunities around various frameworks and tools.

I like to think that it does yes, but I also like to think that we differentiate ourselves in more ways than that. Making that clear to the customer is of course a challenge but we are working on it and feedback like yours are valuable in that process.
> Why Continuing to Work Is Good for a Man’s Health

This title strikes me as overly sexist.
> Interesting idea that I just came across that is somewhat relevant: The author of LuaJIT 2.0 says an interpreter written in assembly is just as fast as a baseline JIT and way easier to write.

I believe this is essentially the long-term goal of V8 with Ignition: an interpreter written in what is essentially a macro-assembler (which mostly just relies on the code-gen from the JIT, as I understand it, so you get as much portability as the JIT has for free) and TurboFan as the only JIT tier (unless they have some plan for multiple tiers varying only in what optimizations are enabled within TurboFan, similar to Chakra?). Of course, this is still very different insofar as TurboFan still ultimately works at the function level, whereas LuaJIT 2.0 uses traces.

An interesting counterpoint is JavaScriptCore, which has both an interpreter written in a portable assembly and a baseline JIT. Presumably they believe they get enough of the gain from it to justify it?

What surprises me with Pyston is the fact that they're heralding one of the big gains of the baseline JIT as being inline caching, "[transforming] the bjit from only being able to remove the interpretation overhead to a JIT which actually is able to improve the performance by a much larger factor". Surely the better fix then is to use inline caches in the interpreter, given that'll give most of the speedup?

ah....the description is ambiguous then. Embed a browser in another application isn't very clear either. Is Servo like framework where devs can build apps on top (something on electron line).

Or is it really about embedding browser inside your application. That one can do today with QT framework where you can embed a browser inside your application. But QT itself moved from Qt WebKit to Qt WebEngine. So, 'embed a browser' in your application sounds old to me.
One reason is that more people will be willing to move somewhere they understand the language. Sure you can get by in many places without knowing the language, but if you're going to live there for any significant length of time you're going to have to choose between learning it (a time commitment) or not fitting into society. Some people are happy with one or the other of those options, some people wouldn't be.

You also make moving somewhere more complicated. When I moved from UK to Paris, I was fine with work, with socialising, but my French was (and still isn't) nearly good enough to deal with government paperwork, appartment searching, reading up on tax law... etc. Sure, this problem can be solved either by the country making it easier for forigners, or by people moving paying for somebody to help them in these areas, but again its another barrier and/or additional cost.

There's also the matter of local work-related communications. Anything from taxis to tax offices, courier/mail services, etc...

It depends on people's preconceptions. I live in a country where taxi drivers race like in that Taxi movie, and often remove seat belts from passenger seats for macho reasons, so self-driving taxis would be something that would allow me to ride in a taxi without fear.

A lot of the "unsolved problems in the world" are either problems that more technology won't solve, or aren't things that can be solved easily by current technology. They are social and human problems, which essentially boil down to "how" we live.

I think that poster's point about the same ideas coming round again and again was that in some areas of technology "keeping up with the state of the art" is just a case of re-learning how to do something that you already understand and know how to do, but in a way that is now structured differently. Broadening your horizons can (in some cases) end up in you seeing the underlying same-ness in a lot of things.
To offer one example - in Poland, the motorway limit is very high, 140km/h(90mph), highest in Europe I believe if we ignore the unrestricted sections of the Autobahn. That leads to two things:

1) most people actually drive slightly below the limit, since vast majority of cars are not comfortable cruisers at 90mph, sure you can get to 90mph in your 1.4 Polo but it will be very loud inside and uncomfortable.

2) Even less people drive significantly above the speed limit, so the police does not see patrolling motorways as worth their time - even if you were doing an otherwise crazy 120mph(200kmh) the largest ticket they could give you would be like ~$100 and a few points on your licence(you need 21 to lose it). So it's not worth their time.

As a result, when I drive there I don't have to worry about constantly being 5-10mph over the limit, since 90mph is fast enough. Setting the speed limit on a 4-5 lane highway to 50mph like in some places in the States is just asking for trouble,and I'm sure it's an excellent source of revenue for the local law enforcement.
> your social connections to be abruptly cut off once you leave the company.

I work for a company that fosters a community of our company alumni. Mostly by having a side chat alongside the main company chats, and arranging alumni meetings every now and then. So nothing that big really.

But it does help I think -- some people decide to come back later, there are perhaps new business opportunities for the company, you get to keep in touch with old colleagues. I think it's a very good thing to have.

This is why i'm skeptical of tesla rushing out autonomous features. i think augmented driving being confused by customers as fully autonomous is extremely dangerous. teslas rush to market and resulting accidents could set back the whole industry.

I also don't understand how tesla can make the leap to fully autonomous vehicles learning/using training data from the semi-autonomous vehicles that are in the customers hands? google has driven 1.5 million miles fully autonomously (with some human oversight) on city streets how many has tesla?

another thought: if tesla does get to fully autonomous vehicles... wouldn't that destroy their sales? its generally agreed upon the demand for car ownership decreases dramatically with self driving vehicles. maybe theyre not afraid to cannibalize themselves akin to apple?
