Surely you can reconcile structured representations and something like the Unix command line.

Imagine if the default wasn't bash, but something like Ruby + pipes (or some other terse language).

What is the argument for shell scripts not working on typed objects? How much time has been lost, how many bugs have been created because every single interaction between shell scripts has to include its own parser. How many versions of " get file created timestamp from ls" do we need?

Something Windows does get right is the clipboard. You place a thing on the clipboard, and when you paste, the receiving program can decide on the best representation. This is why copy-pasting images has worked so magically.

I could see an alternative system where such a mechanism exists for shell programs.
Just to provide a contrarian viewpoint -- strong disdain for the military is one of the criteria for a weak state rife with degeneracy and malignancy.

Uhm, no. For example, Liechtenstein, Palau, and Vatican City do not have a military and they do not seem to be "rife with degeneracy and malignacy" - well perhaps Vatican City, but not the other two.

It's not that it is 'benevolent' - I think the article was making the point that what OD is trying to do is harder, and socially more beneficial, than just matching demand & supply using an online service/app (like Uber, Airbnb, RedFin. etc).

The service OD is providing is liquidity - and the risk they are taking, which they are compensated for, is liquidity risk. This is what 'market making' is - you stand ready to buy & sell and create efficient market.

Beyond the 'data science' of pricing the property, and the tech of automated visits, - the main operational task would be to build an efficient market making business. Anyone who has spent any time in a bank trading desk would know how difficult this is. In a rising market - volumes and upward pricing and demand all tend to go hand in hand - the real test, will be when when the market turns - and maintaining liquidity (and a thin 'bid-ask' spread) in a falling market.

Someoned use the analogy of London trading houses... Another good analogy would be what Marc Rich (and others) did in the 1970s when the broke open the oil market - which had been dominated by long-term contracts - into a more liquid 'spot market'. OD is trying to create a liquid, 'spot market' for a previously illiquid market.

OF course - the market which need the most liquidity (ie the ones outside the 4-5 main metros) is where providing liquidity will also be the hardest. Unlike bonds, shares and oil - housing is not 'fungible' (for one, you can't move a house).

Sounds like a difficult but valuable enterprise - good luck to you and your team.

Based on Reddit threads and an immediate need due to hardware failure I tried the edge router. I have to say I like UI and it was painless to set up. There a plenty of sample configs to choose from and the community seems active and helpful.

Unfortunately, the internet being the hostile place it is, my edgerouter struggles to stay up for more than a couple of days before I have to power cycle the device.

There may be a fix based on packet filtering beyond a simple NAT ruleset I'm using but it wasn't really worth my time to fix a $60 device when another refurbished PC from Microcenter is twice that and will stay up for months. Move two NICs, a hard drive and done.

Still at some point I plan to set a bridge mode packet capture device between the edge router and cable modem to see what's knocking it over. But at least for a painless setup that my wife doesn't have to reboot the edge router didn't work out, which is too bad. I would otherwise recommend them on price alone.

> With an armband you lose a hand for interaction.

Absolutely true.

What you gain is (some are more or less debatable and/or situational):

1) Stability. The device cannot be knocked out of your hands or dropped, unlike 5" phone. I can give you two situations where this is very safe where a phone isn't: in a store, and on a bike.

2) 24/7 on you, with the advantages you mentioned.

3) Less chance of the device getting grabbed out of your hands. If the device looks like a normal watch (and not like an Apple Watch) the chance of getting robbed for your watch stays approx the same.

4) Information leaking. Phone has this too. Phone has larger screen, watch with t-shirt is 24/7 seen.
> We must let go delusional thinking that with current AI we can safely throw autonomous car in a dense urban area.

I think IIS is a bad example, many of it's config settings are a complete mess of partially obsoleted legacy settings. And some of it has no definitive reference, e.g. the threading and concurrency settings which seem to change with each IIS version, but no documentation is available that defines what settings are available in each version.
Well, maybe because they built prototype cars and used them in their PR?

so it was most likely changed because of the backlash of the name being associated with invading your privacy and seeing what you were doing in uber. this again is why everyone is upset about uber forcing their app to be always on.

Truth is once you set it up, I stopped running the Java controller. I got the edge router because it's half the price. One thing I really dislike is it doesn't do DNS name injection for statically configured hosts. You can use Dnsmasq instead and make it work, but then you can't see the leases! I ended up using a raspberry pi to run pihole and do DNS.

This video had a good overview:

The edge router is nice cuz it also has doing and great firewall. One annoying thing is there's no idiot protection... You can lock yourself out of the admin interface and only way to recover is restore factory defaults.

Hayao Miyazaki's thoughts on an artificial intelligence
When recruiting for web development (heavy JavaScript SPA work), I look for 3 technical skills:

1. Core JavaScript. You should be able to read modern idiomatic JS code pulled from an open source project and explain what it is doing and how you would modify it to add features.

2. Core CSS. You should be able to review Bootstrap source and explain how it works. You should be able to create static HTML/CSS to match UI mockups.

3. Higher level SPA library/framework (e.g. React, Angular, etc). You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the core concepts of your chosen framework.

I find that these 3 skills are sufficient for productivity in SPA web development.

- Let the radio keep playing while the user scrolls the map and until they click on a different spot.

- Run a kickstarter for creating a mobile app for this and getting a paid key to the Bing maps. Having the MVP already running I think it'll sell like candy!

- Labels for the stations, cities, etc. The UI should be great on this, so the user feels like traveling across the world! Maybe even include Google Street View? Not sure, just a thought..

Depending on your application domain, but if the software has timers and clocks I bet what I'm going to say applies, the good strategy is to use domain specific languages which offer strong guarantee on the produced code. Here I'm thinking specifically of synchronous dataflow languages. Those are formally defined and are designed for critical real-time system. They come with formal verification tools (often, model checkers) adapted to their semantics.

Lustre, Esterel, and Signal, are such languages.

"stalk celebrities and their exes"
sounds to me like it could mean:

- employees stalk their exes and also some celebrities

It's obviously the latter but couldn't the same sentence imply the former as well? Is their a better way to formulate this sentence in a non-ambiguous way?

Aside: that's what the stat command is for. My big concern with types is how would you make sure that the output of a command will always have the right types? Otherwise you'll have runtime type errors which would be just as bad as runtime parsing errors.

Any structured data can still be serialized and diff'd, but it isn't always the clearest. Where is the contrast here?

Depends on the constraints. There are few on text files, possibly excluding sudoers.

If you aren't sticking to good practice you can just as easily rm a text file.

> has a bug or vulnerability?

What happens when the kernel has a bug or vulnerability? There are quite a few mature db systems. Plus, all text files depend on the file-system, which is why you store root on something stable like ext (still depends on hdd drivers though, unless you have some some ramfs on boot).

Minority War veterans and the shabby treatment was a big argument for the civil rights movement and allied politicians. They can die next to a white man in Korea but they couldn't buy a sandwich at a lunch counter next to them. Many veterans coming back from the war refused to be oppressed anymore and became civil rights leaders.

The Felix Longoria affair in which a Mexican-Texan veteran was denied who died in the war was denied burial by the local funeral. The American G.I. Forum an association of mexican american vets helped organize a protest and sent a letter asking help from Senator (and future president) LBJ, who arranged to have him buried in Arlington and initially publically supported the veteran but later ducked and covered from the conservative backlash. The G.I. Forum would become a powerful civil rights organization over the years.

Isaac was an African American World War II veteran who was beaten while still in uniform (hours after an honorable discharge) until he was blinded (because he had talked back to the bus driver when the bus driver refused to let him use the bathroom. the driver called the cops on him). This was a major scandal that helped inform the nation and especially President Truman about the evils of Jim Crow but he couldn't pass civil rights laws past the senate. All he was able to do was desegregate the army and federal goverment by executive order.

It might be something already mentioned below here, on mobile so might miss it.

However, what we do : we use PG role row level access. E.g. each database user has explicitly defined the subset of data ih has access to.
All you need to ensure your application business level views do not mix/confuse logical view of partial data. And! You choose to use correct database user in your back-end data stream/feed.

Have I already mentioned the PG is a great tool and the feature gap between MS Sql, Oracle and PG constantly narrows down as we speak?

RtbF is possibly not relevant here. More important would be the EU regulations on data protections.

But even the EU has exemptions and complications around data that's used to prevent crime.
