I was thinking that any function like f(x)=e^(-x(1+o(1/x^2)) would work, provided that it can be expended into an infinite series (say, f(x)=e^(-x(1+e^(-x))) )
Yes, small cobblestone streets in Philly? I wonder how it handles other bad/rude drivers? In the video I saw it merging on to the freeway, but sometime you have to go over the speed limit to get in front of the car that is in the merge lane, will it be courteous to allow others to merge properly?
You have to remember that Firefox's core was first written in a very different era of computing. E10s required a complete rewrite of really core components for Firefox. It took years to get it working, and it turned out to be impossible to make compatible with existing extension code, etc etc.

FWIW, give a try to Firefox with E10s, or better yet, firefox developer edition. I find it much faster than chrome.
This is 100% accurate in every aspect.

I think this is the same as the hypothesis for Planet X that has been around since the 90s. Seems like they've just modified it slightly. They take observations they can't explain, and then make something up out of thin air that will explain the observations.

Not saying this is a bad strategy, just that in my view it's not much different from hypotheses for additional planets which have come before.

>Go read the original Peanuts strips. They weren't about entertainment, they were a look into bullying and the depressing life of Charlie Brown.

From his phrasing that seems to be the parent's problem.

They would probably like the lighter, more fluff and less serious Peanuts better.
I've received these as well, but it's always been "Hey, it's been 6 months since your last oil change with us -- come on in!"

I could very easily see if you go to the same mechanic and they input your mileage between visits and a system having a reasonable chance of getting scheduled maintenance correct based upon time or average mileage.

I've never heard of a company pulling data from a car OTA to do this type of work. (some car insurance companies are a different story though)
That's awesome thanks. Its always been intuitive for me that texture would affect how air mixes with food in the mouth and would also affect flavour distribution of sauces in the mouth but its good to see someone put actual study into it
The best thing about Google Cloud is the Console. I haven't seen a comparable console for managed services. Think about the UX nightmare that is the AWS Management Console and take that complexity and separate it out neatly and make everything available in a fast search box and you have Google Cloud Console.

It's the primary reason I've switched over to Datastore and App Engine.
Hash functions: An empirical comparison (2008)
My mother in law is currently $150,000+ deep on a Facebook romance scam. I believe she's about to send him another $200k or so when her house is sold. Instead of living out her retirement in relative comfort, she will be scraping by on social security. Adult services can't help, because moonshot-level stupidity is not a mental disorder. She can't live with us, as she can no longer be trusted. She can't live on her own, as she obviously doesn't understand how fixed income works. It's a very strange situation to be in, having a parent desperately trying to abandon you as an adult, basically dying without being dead.

I don't know how these people justify it to themselves. They have taken 100% of her money, plus a unknown amount of debt (I've found $100k in loans so far). My mother-in-law is not 'going to be okay'. To be honest, once she figures out that there isn't $3.5MM in the Bank of Israel, she's probably going to look for the quick exit.

At the moment, I'm afraid I'm unable to muster the empathy necessary to understand how you could even begin to help the scammer.

According to your citation, texture and taste and aroma are separate characteristics with some overlap that combine to define flavor. The defining component difference in Su Filindeu would be texture, enhancing the flavor.

If you have 20,000 style issues, spending an hour to make a .pylintrc that matches your style spec will take care of all of those. And once done, it can be shared with all of your coders. It's not really that onerous.

Because if Tesla is legitimately able to use the force of law to prevent me from using the car in a a way I see fit, Tesla owns the car not me, and they have not sold me a car, they have sold me a perpetual license.

(Which your linked article makes clear.)
With the current generation of laptops, the problem is the controller chipset. If you're not extremely careful, you will likely buy a machine that can only take up to 16 GB, no matter how many sticks you can attach - only the very few top-spec big-ass "portable workstation" models can run up to 32 GB, and if you're dropping money on those, you're likely to go full-spec straight on anyway. That's been the situation for several years now.

So no, sticks vs soldered DIMM doesn't really make any difference in today's market for people who want more than 16 GB of memory.

(On the other hand, soldered battery is stupid and I tolerate it only because they're really good batteries.)
When this happens, is this a reasonable sign that the depression is clinical? My understanding of clinical is that it's chemical.
They serve two completely different purposes. Testing ensures the logic is correct, linting is checking the code for syntax errors and bad practice.
Some people trick the scammers into traveling places, or losing money. They've managed to get them stranded for months in war-torn countries, to sell their cars for airline tickets, and gotten them thrown in prison in foreign countries for immigration violations.

I have some family who was tricked by a scammer doing "Microsoft support" once, but we convinced her it was a scammer in time for the police to trace the call. So now he's in prison.

Ask Lots of Questions. No, Seriously
But they intentionally don't cover the same ground frequently, which is a key part of the Tesla data. The same intersection in many different conditions is pretty important.

I'm assuming that once a Google Maps van has covered an area, it intentionally avoids that area until a significant time later.
A quick Google search suggests the flight [in 1980, the word "cockpit" was used as people weren't vocal about being offended by it] voice recorder would be analog (just like an old fashioned cassette recorder?) so would be readable very easily but probably need some processing to overcome damaged sections. Exposure to UV for extended periods of time could cause serious deterioration, so reading it ASAP is probably sensible.

The flight data recorder could be more difficult but if there is a model number, more technical data would be available, again via friendly Google.

The issue with a non-official person reading is that any results are not "official" findings, so don't get official flight crash investigation status. However, since none of the official authorities in either country are interested, that's probably not important.

The only thing people should be concerned with would be if there are any criminal sanctions available if authorities get pissed off at being shown up for their lack of interest/incompetence/failing of some sort. It's standard in the US for authorities to strike back and shoot the messenger (sadly, literally in some cases).

Perhaps a low profile recovery and gentle leak of the information would be safer for those involved (e.g. tell the family members who are interested, like Judith Kelly). The internet will take care of the subsequent publication.
I remember reading that line a few years ago (when I was new to computers, and actually read EULAs), and wondering how in the world someone would use a music player to design nuclear weapons?
This is awesome. I fear how accurate it might be, though. Even if the technology is accurate (i believe it is), this, like most things with this presidential campaign, seems prone to fudging.
Do you have a favorite watch?
First thing I do with a legacy code base is to commit it to git, then pass it through pep8 and pylint to get a sense of its level of dirtyness, then run autopep8 to fix all that can be autofixed. Then commit the autofix. Then manually fix the remaining pep8 warnings after muting the ones that are too many. Then run pylint on it. I'll mute some of the most offended violations, and fix the others, so to have pyflakes and pylint run with zero warnings. Then hook the linters in ci, so the dirtyness do not come back through the window.

In this process, I may exclude a folder or two if they are non vital and have a lot of dirty files. I think I have fixed code with nearly 10.000 violations this way, it takes 3 hours max if you use an efficient editor. Then the code is is some shape that you can start working on.
Well, yes. That's why I didn't say that. I asked if the parent had any evidence for the otherwise bald assertion of a dubious fact (other than being a fanperson).

It would be a perfectly reasonable response to my comment to say "why yes, I do, and here's my evidence (along with a great reason that I didn't provide it in my original comment!)"

It stands to reason that if the parent had a better argument than "test-driven development on steroids", then they'd have provided it. But asserting that someone's well-informed comment about sensor quality "underestimates" the power of big-data-AI-TDD-learning-rapid-innovation-foo, well, that sounds like magical thinking.

In any case, this is a meta-discussion about voting, which is definitely not okay, so I'll leave it at that.
Interesting.

Wonder if I have the option to opt out of the "Network" and join Uber or a future entity?

Maybe it's different where you live, but I'm in UK and I see lots of Teslas as taxis(uber or other) - it just makes perfect sense. Even though the lease on a Tesla is very expensive compared to a regular car, it's much much much cheaper to run(especially with petrol/diesel being around $7-8/US gallon), requires a lot less maintenance, and retains strong value over time. So actually, buying a Tesla to drive as a taxi is very attractive, and I wouldn't be surprised if these two diagrams were actually very closely overlapping.
5-10 years seems very optimistic. We've been waiting over 25 years for HURD.

How to create your own native bridge. Chapter 2: JSVM and the first adventure
A huge payoff that Rust provides vs Ruby or JavaScript is when writing development tools. It saves so much time and trouble to install a binary than to try and get someone to download the right version of Ruby, gem install, etc. Rust, while having its tax, is really great about telling you why your code won't compile and keeping you from footgunning yourself.
Bundling the runtime/core framework isn't required. .NET Core applications can be deployed as portable or standalone.

Portable: runtime must be installed on target machine
Standalone: runtime bundled with application

Portable is how non-Core .NET apps have always been, and I believe all the templates in the Visual Studio preview tooling are setup as portable apps.

The docs have a good explanation of the differences, and how to configure a project to support either deployment strategy:

>I purchased a Toyota last year and magically get updates and phone calls about scheduling maintenance.

I bet if you were willing to waive the warranty they'd stop calling you. But, being as how the warranty on cars is now 5+ years, and that the maintenance variance among owners is high, I don't see this as a bad thing.

Granted, it's not happening to me (yet), so I might complain too.
Pylint complains about:

because it thinks foo is a global constant and thus should be upcased. It can DIAF.

This is more like your computer coming with 2 hard drives.. One active with your OS, one empty. You can at any time pay $100 and start using the other drive. Otherwise it sits empty.

DO is VPS, so there's not the slightest chance for tenants in the same machine to see or modify stuff from other tenants (besides attacks through the network); also you have a guarantee on the amount of CPU and memory allotted to you. The best kind of shared hosting only relies on unix user permissions for security and that's not enough, plus you don't get the CPU and memory guarantees VPS offers.
Lego-like wall creates holograms of sound
these experiences were mostly > 10 years ago, and since working for myself, it's largely a non-issue. I posted here not so much to complain/whine as much as to add (yet) another anecdote about ageism. Visual impressions do count on first meetings (well, all the time), and there's often little or nothing you can do about them (skin color, eye color, height, etc), and yes, a certain degree of "just get on with it and present yourself with confidence" is needed. There's also an issue about "if a hiring manager is that shallow, you may not want to work for that company anyway", but it's easier to take that mindset when you've got savings and prospects, vs having been out of work for a year and having trouble getting past a f2f interview (after having aced phone conversations) because of your hair color or age (not happened to me - yet? - but have had a couple friends go through this already just in late 40s).
And for that I reference you to the second part of my comment. It is highly unlikely that a highly reviewed, frequently reviewed charger on Amazon will light your phone on fire. As for the second point "what if there is no reviews?" Simply don't buy a charger that doesn't have reviews.
There seems to be a lot of commenters here saying Johnny is playing the long con. Whereas I don’t entirely disagree, I think they are missing the point of the story. The point is not just that Johnny’s life improved from below average to average. The other point is that Maria’s life improved from average to above average. At an age where many Americans are retiring and spending their days trying to stay busy, Maria is traveling to Africa and working with aspiring artists. Maria took what could have been a financially crippling event and used it to launch herself into a new endeavor. She’s taking her passion for art and helping others pursue a similar passion in a climate where they may not normally have that luxury.

Regardless of whether Johnny is still conning her, Maria’s life is now better because of it. She took a situation that would normally make a person critical and suspect of others and decided to learn from it and become a better person. My take away from this story is that bad things will happen to me. Some will be my fault and some won’t. However, how I react to it will make all the difference. Sometimes it is better to light a candle than to simply curse the darkness.
I'm receiving the communication about 2-3 months ahead of that schedule due to the excess mileage I'm driving. At about 6k miles, my tire sensor was going on and off for a few days, then I received an email specifically to come in to check the tire pressure. It may have be coincidence, but it's highly unlikely at this point.
I don't think self driving cars need to work on say dirt roads to be useful. So, ALL situations is kind of misleading.
Scientists Create Fully Functional Eggs from Skin Cells
The erosion of the concept of "ownership" continues.

Traditionally, goods are subject to the first sale doctrine--once I buy a shirt, it's my property, and if I want to sell or rent it, I can. It's mine.

But software is licensed. When I buy a piece of software, I'm actually paying for a limited and revokable right to use someone else's property. And now companies are putting software into more and more goods.

As software is eating the world, it is also eating our concept of what it means to buy and own things.

Amazon in 2009 remotely deleted George Orwell books (you can't make this up) from customer Kindles without asking first. Amazon didn't need the customers' permission because a Kindle book is legally a license, not a piece of property.

John Deere tractors have been prized by farmers for their durability and flexibility. Now they come with software and a prohibition against customer modification or repair.

It sounds silly but the right to repair our own property is under threat. It's now something that we need to fight for.

And now apparently even paying $100,000 will not be enough to give full ownership rights to a car.

In-App Popups – Are they worth it?
That headline is rather misleading. The key quote is:

"Under the new rules, heterosexual single men and women and gay men and women who want to have children will now be given the same priority as a couple seeking IVF because of medical fertility problems. "

I am quite happy that the WHO is taking that stance to support the human rights of non heterosexual couples.

I feel like the people who are jumping all over the use of the term 'disability' are doing so disingenuously rather than standing up and saying that they believe heterosexual couples are inherently more worthy of having children.
I'm a designer, and from my perspective these are all either incredibly generic or very poorly executed. It's an open exploration though, and they do admit the need for refinement.

Direction 2 is the strongest in terms of execution, but it's like they googled "stock developer logo." It's literally something any developer-facing tech company anywhere could use. Nothing about it is unique to Mozilla.

Direction 1: The crocodile-looking thing seems to be an effort at modernizing the dinosaur mark, but it's just so bad (the mark without the mouth feels decent and unique, but once you add the mouth it's like a bad joke). Stylistically it feels like something HotBot would have done in 1998 down to the random caPitaL lEttEr treatment.

Design direction 4 is trying to capitalize on a really popular (but now dwindling) faceted/stained-glass "data" trend... it's already starting to look dated due to overuse, and on top of that is really poorly executed (blobby rabbit, anyone?).

Design Direction 3 is mind-numbingly literal, it's like the first idea from a Sophomore design student. Some of the supporting patterns where the mark is simplified and abstracted beyond the "M" start to look interesting — but the main "M" mark is muddled mess. Just look at the all-white example on a poster, it's almost objectively hideous.

I think their existing lower-case 'mozilla' type treatment is generally friendly and recognizable and there's nothing wrong with it — this exercise would be more interesting if they stuck with that and looked into more options to modernize the T-Rex... I could easily imagine mozilla as a "mascot" heavy brand in the same vein as Mailchimp (but maybe dialed back a tad in the cuteness factor).

Addendum: Look at the homepage for their design partner Johnson Banks (http://johnsonbanks.co.uk/), and look at the shirt in Option 2 — give me a break. You don't even have to go beyond a single degree of separation to see how generic that concept is.

Addendum 2: Holy shit, look at these other options their agency partner has explored — these have their own issues and would need a lot of refinement, but are infinitely more interesting than these posted options:

route B (very '90s and the 'mozilla' treatment is a bit too abstract, but I think it could be pushed to a really nice place): https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/design-route-b-the-conne...

route F (combining a few existing trends, but it's eye-catching, fun, and I'd like to see more of it): https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/design-route-f-the-impos...

I'm not sure if these options mean that Mozilla doesn't know who they are, or their agency partner doesn't know who they are — but it really seems like a brand lost in the woods.
