Facebook has tried a lot to copy snapchat, even released atleast couple of apps that i'm aware of but failed. Eventually they started to copy features of snapchat in Instagram, Whatsapp, messenger and facebook app. Heck now you can send snaps in Instagram. Not stories, snaps. that is fucked
It's an interesting article, but left me feeling that what's "special" about Utah is less the qualities or decision making of their government then it is the willingness of the population to make an active effort to help people in their community on a purely voluntary basis.

Everywhere I've lived has really felt like the opposite - you're on your own. Of course, a strong social support network works better - but we don't have that kind of culture in the US.

I don't think System76 would be wise to get into the Ultrabook market from the get-go because of the much tighter thermal/power requirements.

If you're going to get into the laptop market with a focus on maintainability, your competition is the T470, not Ultrabooks in general or the Thinkpad X1 Carbon in particular, which, as your Reddit link pointed out, has a downside in that the memory is soldered to the motherboard.

>Talk to your advisor about that. Everybody is pretty sure that journals are to support your academic curriculum: good luck getting postdoc positions without Q1's under your belt.

I agree with GP. The view that conference publications is less important than journal papers is inaccurate, depending on your field.

In my field, it's as you describe. Conference papers are not polished, and journal publications is what matters in your academic career.

For many of my peers in some disciplines in CS, it was the opposite. Getting into a highly regarded conference was much more valued than publishing in a journal.

Then I found this was not limited to CS.

It really just depends on your discipline's culture.

I'm actually a huge fan of spaced repetition. Kinda mad I didn't know this about the brain back in college. I now use this interval method paired with Deliberate Practice for everything -- even working on an app that mirrors my current workflow.
I don't know if you're joking but this is why everyone is so concerned about automation causing unemployment. There isn't a huge leap between controlling a video game character and controlling a robot. Quite possibly the majority of current jobs could be automated in the near future.
I don't think it's accurate if you take it at face value. If you genuinely solve the world's problems, that's a better place to be (business-wise) than having solved your own problems.

But trying to solve the world's problems vs. trying to solve your own is another matter. You probably better understand your own problems.

1. Software

2. Hiring Process

3. Replace meaningless whiteboarding interviews AND silly notepad algorithm questions, with a live coding interview on a laptop and a real development environment.

Companies would be surprised how fast and efficient the hiring process would be. They would stop eliminating a bunch of great candidates by running relevant technical interviews and not silly CS academic stuff. I can spend 3 month memorizing 500 algorithm solutions and nail all your 45min technical interviews. I would get an offer, a kick ass package and I would join your team. Then, on my first day I'd ask for help from my colleagues because I can't even setup my development environment. I'd write buggy code that doesn't integrate well and wouldn't be able to understand how to design a system. All I'd know is how to write text in a notepad and how to flip a linked list on a whiteboard.

But hey... I'm smart! And now I'm rich :)

> Lidar is great for distance representations, but requires a highly consistent and exact timing source.

Just a small FYI:

If you are doing time-of-flight measurement, then yes. But many (not all) LIDARs out there don't do time-of-flight, because to get the resolution wanted or needed, you need to have an oscillator (and sensors for the return pulse) capable of many, many gigahertz (it can get absurd quickly if you want anything below a resolution of around 10 CMs). This isn't easy or cheap (the oscillator actually is fairly easy and cheap - it's the return sensor that needs a very fast rise time that is expensive and difficult, though such devices do exist - some all solid-state, like flash LIDAR).

What many LIDAR sensors use (not sure about Velodyne) is actually using a kind of "doppler shift" of a laser modulated with a carrier wave. It still needs a high-speed multi-gigahertz oscillator to resolve small changes in distance, but everything else is fairly off-the-shelf and nothing real special. One downside of the method is that there is a discrepancy at farthest vs minimal distance measured due to ambiguity when comparing the received modulated beam to the outgoing modulated beam; you can't tell at such a point what the distance is (because both distances look the same).
The fuel bill per hour for the 737 going over my house right now is easily double $2200. I can visualise what is going on with a plane burning through fuel/money but with 220000 CPU cores it is all imaginary.

How big a house would be needed for such an array of 'cores'? How much electricity is required, and again can that be compared to aeroplanes, Teslas or even toasters?
If it's dominated by a single player then the information isn't actually free. Hence rather than anarchists we get the neoanarcbists fighting against tight control of the information rather than fighting control over the people themselves.

We'll also have neoluddites who are fine with physical machines leveraging human labor to great heights but who fear and rise up against expert systems and machine learning that threaten to automate away human control of those machines.
I just watched "The Founder" last night. I had always assumed Ray Kroc was the genius who pivoted to focusing on real estate for their expanding franchise model when really it was Harry J. Sonneborn who convinced Ray that was the way to go. Worth a watch.
The Fed’s Inflation Goal: What Does the Public Know?
Interesting. But note that that's from a different Wikipedia article from the one the box quotes from. The box quotes from the "Tintinnabulum" article, which talks about Roman Catholic churches; you're quoting from the "Tintinnabulum (Ancient Rome)" article, which talks about wind-chime-figurines with enormous penises.

The photo would make a good accompaniment to the latter article but makes a very strange, er, bedfellow with the one actually quoted in the box.

I wonder whether Wikipedia's "Tintinnabulum" article should be renamed "Tintinnabulum (Roman Catholicism)" or something, and "Tintinnabulum" just take you to the disambiguation page, or alternatively whether those two pages should be merged into an article about small bell-like things, with sections on Ancient Rome and Catholic basilicas. Either way, there'd be less likelihood of a hilarious mismatch between picture and text in the Google answer-box.
You can follow individual accounts on other instances and their posts will show up in your home and federated timeline, but there's no way to, say, "follow" the full local or federated timeline of other instances. I assume that's what OP was referring to.
Or move.
You are describing the paradox of our work as programmers: when we do our job well, we are automating away tasks so they don't have to be done by hand, so there isn't any more work to do.

When I was a consultant, I knew I was on track to provide positive value to a client when I was working myself out of a job by automating everything that I could and by writing thorough documentation so that the full-timers could easily maintain what I had left behind.

And no, I don't think you made that person's job more pointless: you made it more comfortable by eliminating waste. As the saying goes, "Machines should work; people should think."
That's why most manufacturers have extensive QA on their input side to make sure that what they ordered is what they get and that quality does not change from what was supplied in test batches. In other industries these problems are so large that QA is done in the country of origin of the parts to make sure problems are caught as early as possible.

In some cases that means that company representatives are found dockside inspecting containers and taking samples before they are being loaded.
Your use of the term "network effects" is a touch loose. Network effects refer to a situation where the product becomes more valuable with more users. This is not the same as simply having a large customer base. Probably the better way to say it: "Microsoft and Facebook both gained advantages because their customers had high switching costs."

FB users have high switching costs in terms of opportunity costs (by leaving FB they forego value) and those opportunities costs are large mostly because of network effects.

In the case of Microsoft, you say "network effects of their enterprise sales channel," when you really mean Microsoft had a large customer base to which they could quickly and easily deploy new products. The fact that one business had a sales agreement with Microsoft didn't necessarily increase the value of a sales agreement with Microsoft for a different business. (Maybe there are some network effects there, but they aren't obvious and I'm fairly sure you aren't talking about them.)

I think Microsoft did (and still does) benefit from network effects in a different way, related to collaboration: the more people who can open and use an excel spreadsheet, the more valuable it is to learn and use excel.
Currently my process for discovering what to follow is to look at the federated feed, looking at the local feed, and looking at hashtags - the parts of other instances I see on these views is limited to the parts of those instances being followed by at least one person on my instance, so if I'm on a small instance it's very unlikely that between the few dozen people in my instance that all of another small instance is covered - I'd like to just say, "merge bookwitty.social and mastodon.technology in my feed" or "search for #scifi on bookwitty.social and mastodon.technology".

Ideally, I'd like a seamless experience that allows me to see a "virtual instance" that is the merger of two instances. Like I said - I think the part that I see can be handled client side. Getting other people to see me, and having a portable identity, is another question entirely.
I don't know anything about it, but how is it known that this is not the case with Snapchat as well? (I realize you're not the OP in this comment chain, but still.)

What impresses me most about McDonald's is the highly effective and efficient incentive structure. You have the franchise owner who is very committed financially and can make a high income, plus lots of low cost labor following a very precise process. And they seem to be able to replicate it at almost any scale.

What impresses me least about McDonald's is their ruthless child-targeted advertising.

EDIT: in sort of a quaint way the incentive structure is reminiscent of the manorial system.

Aggregate Productivity versus Aggregate Technology
I think the main issue is library compatibility, which gives people the impression that compatibility is an unreachable target.

The truth is, once most libraries are 3.x compatible, porting is very easy (as easy as a 2.x -> 2.y transition). And now, we've reached that point. People are starting to catch up.

There are some exceptions of course, those who heavily rely on 2.x unicode behaviour and such, but all in all they are rare. So now, it's much easier than it used to be.
Without widespread adoption of a must-staple extension, OCSP is cosmetic. The decision to disable it didn't come from simplicity fascists; it came from people like Adam Langley. AGL isn't right about everything, but if you take the position that something he does with Chrome TLS is ludicrous, my default will be that you don't understand the issue as well as he does.
Not a one. Have run it for years and years and years, overloaded with extensions. It has never failed me.

But this! The post outlines a three year timeframe. I do not believe it. I believe Mozilla will be gone before three years, and Thunderbird with it, one way or the other.
re. Autocomplete - have a look at Vanilla vim's help files on Completion. Not the greatest, but still quite good and easily extensible (even without compiling in YouCompleteMe).

And a debugger doesn't have to be built into an editor to be functional. PDB, GDB, PRY, your browser's built-in debugger... all are quite useful without being built-in to your code editor. As a bonus, all but the last can be easily accessed from your terminal (which, hey, you have multiple terminal windows readily available in tmux!).

Sorry, troll fed. My apologies.

I think emacs falls in the same camp as vim in this regard. Setting up emacs is just as painful as setting up vim.
Yes, it is infuriating. I didn't even realize it was in the dev tools until today. I thought they'd just dropped the functionality altogether.

The dev tools are nice, and I like using the multiple profiles for both dev (logging in as multiple users) and segregating my banking cookies. Otherwise I'd drop chrome for safari.

(I also wish they'd expose certificate metadata to plugins, so I could write my own cert checking/pinning code.)

That's not Docker. That's Moby.
That's not necessarily a Python thing, but a Linux distribution thing or whichever package manager or installer you are using. I like all my Python 3+ installs just called python, personally.
Most of the people who complain hate speech and abuse are conflating it with dissenting opinions, sometimes stated aggressively or insultingly and in large numbers.

The first is a consequence of people, the other is a function of Twitter and the fact that you probably read it from a person with lots of followers, who have at least somewhat similar ideas and therefore many are going to disagree with you. Because there are many of them, it can feel overwhelming when they all answer you.

And having not kept my mouth shut during the rocket-guy-shirt fiasco I can tell you that you get the same result when you are on the other side too.

The complaint covers genuine abuse like what happened to Kathy Sierra.
What's your alternative? A customized Chromium fork? Every other browser is markedly less secure than Chrome.

Academia. I'm going to pick on something specific:

* Reproducibility -- running code months or years later, on another machine.

Current tools, like VMs tend to be too heavy-weight. Docker is too hard to set up.

The main problem with these various tools is that exploration is slow -- Often I'll take an experiment, tweak it a few dozen times, then finally get the code for a paper. At that point I don't want to package it up, I want to be able to "freeze" where my last execution.

You believe your means of production are entirely self-contained which is entirely false. You need all of civilization for your production to be useful. It's not unreasonable to have to pay for that civilization.
Indirectly I think Google does need Kubernetes to be successful.

If they can drive adoption, it makes it much easier to move customers away from AWS and on to GCE.

"We'll see how it goes" and "it can't be worse than what we have now" are my basic postures to this kind of critique. It's very, very clear that Twitter (for example) is hardly an exemplar. If you are concerned about moderation being in the hands of just a few people, I presume you're super-concerned about Twitter, facebook, etc etc.

Again, I think it's important to be explicit about what you mean by "free and open speech", "dissent", etc.

I don't really see the analogy to sub-reddits, or shared forums in general. On my instance, the only stuff that's eligible for ejection is illegal porn, hate speech, abuse/harassment, etc. If that's an "echo chamber", then we don't have a shared vocabulary here.

T470 is also an ultrabook as it comes only with ULV CPUs, but it provides a certain level of upgradeability.

Soldered memory is not a real downside if 16GB is enough to run all needed tasks, as it helps to make laptop more lightweight and portable (1.144 kg !! and in the same time Carbon has a decent set of ports). So Lenovo provides a good choice for the folks that need to maintain something -
T470 and for the users that do not do any hardware upgrading - X1 Carbon (gen5).

I loved Lynch's Dune. Whatever the cause, the end result was a film that felt as weird and surreal and alien as Dune itself. The retro-futurist aspect of the tech only added to this.
