Neat, thanks for mentioning Caddy [0]. I hadn't heard about it before now, and just from looking over their docs it looks very promising.

Their website is superb, with simple explanations of what the tool does and transparent pricing for their paid options.

The only thing I'm initially a tiny bit weary about is their claim of it being production ready. Being used by thousands of sites is an amazing feat, but how big are the loads on these sites? Production-ready can mean completely different things depending on what you're building. I think it'd be a nice improvement to see a bit more data backing up that claim. Just from a quick google search it looks like there's a decent number of articles comparing it with nginx, so I guess I"ll stat digging in a bit deeper.

Snapdocs (YC W14) Is Hiring a VP of Engineering
Red light cameras increase rear end collisions and decrease side impact collisions; but side impact collisions are more dangerous.

The problem, of course, is that there is a better way to reduce side impact collisions -- and red light running in general -- which is to increase the length of the yellow light.

But because doing that actually does reduce the number of people who run a red light, the intersections with red light cameras do the opposite of that, because they need people to run red lights in order to generate revenue and pay for the cameras. And if you compare the results at red light camera intersections with short yellow lights against normal intersections with appropriately timed yellow lights, the cameras are killing people.

That's the problem with all of these—they're all ambiguous. Which is fine if the person you're talking to knows which you mean, but when you're talking about something new, you have no way of actually making clear what you mean. It seems like the best you can do is reinvent agglutinative languages, badly.

I think the biggest cost in this business is the human component. For that all you need to do is check the price difference between renting for a day or getting taxi for a day.

Given a choice, Uber would love to be the first to have self driving cars. Once they do that their business model scales predictably with capital.

Whoever gets self driving technology right, will own all transportation and logistics - which is huge!

However, I doubt they can do it. The quality of engineering talent is subpar compared to Google. Given that they couldn't compete with R&D they probably resorted to other means.
Sounds like a procedural error too, giving patients a probability, not a test result.
While that is true between 1995 and 2005, if you look at the data [1] between 2005 (roughly 10 years after both drivers and passenger side airbags were required equipment) and 2015, you can see the fatality rate dropped from 1.46 down to 1.08

Given the average age of a vehicle on the road is about 10 years give or take, then by 2005, the majority of vehicles had both drivers and passenger side air bags and crumple zones. Traffic speeds have also increased to some extent in the last 10 years as well.

It depends what you were trying to communicate.

toki pona has a reduced vocabulary. It builds more complex concepts that other languages have lexemes for as compounds, and these are somewhat standard, though more flexible than in other languages ('tomo tawa' is almost always the way to say 'car'). All languages do this, of course, e.g. a firefly / lightning bug, but toki pona does it more.

Most people would understand 'tomo tawa li utala e mi' to mean a car hit me, unless the context indicated otherwise (e.g. we're discussing trains). If it really mattered that it was a private passenger vehicle and not a bus, or some other kind of vehicle, you'd have to say more. But if I said 'I was hit by a vehicle', you wouldn't necessarily need to know exactly what kind. You would probably infer that I didn't mean an aircraft.

Part of the zen of toki pona is realising how little you need to specify.

And again, this happens to a lesser extent in other languages. You typically don't specify pronouns with Japanese verbs, relying on the context, with the occasional explicit pronoun as a topic marker (which Japanese language learners from, say, English, use much more often than native speakers).
God, that's backward. I can't believe that your license is not taken away for YEARS if you hit someone.
And that was basically the pitch... "We aren't magic, we just do what you would do. If you have the tim to recruit yourself, do it. If not, give us a try, and if it's not working, fire us."
...But it does work on iOS. It's just not built in. For example, Transmit for iOS supports FTP, and includes a document provider extension so you can directly access files on FTP servers from any app that uses the standard document picker.

Searching the App Store I also see some apps for SMB, but I don't know whether they have document provider extensions.

Haskell is generally more popular, and has more active feature development. I imagine Haskell is probably the better choice in the general case.

There are a few differences such as Haskell being Lazy and OCaml being strict. The general way you write code will be similar as the semantics (besides strictness) and syntax are fairly similar.

There are specific cases where the ecosystem may have better tools for X or Y subject however this would depend on the particular domain.

That's an interesting technical problem. PID controllers answer a similar problem in control theory. I don't have the answer here, and I'm not certain there is one. It really depends on how many more cops we'd need to get to a state where enforcement can be rigorous, and whether we as a society prefer the tradeoff of paying for those enforcers to get safer roads. Tough question. But I like tricky questions aimed in a true direction better than easy, wrong answers like, "ticketing people has no effect on speeding."

I think Matt Levine succinctly said it best:

I think Sonja thinks that the ambiguity of toki pona is a feature. (Another way to see it is as a challenge, like a puzzle or a form of constrained writing.)
> It seems quaint now, reading her expectations and worries, but it's honestly infuriating that in less than a decade we've gone from an expectation of net privacy to haggard indifference at government's best efforts to engineer electronic panopticon.

Lots of cheerleaders for that right here. It's a sad state of affairs, to put it mildly.
> The pace of a traffic stream is defined as the 10 mph increment in speed in which the highest percentage of drivers is observed.

Doesn't the upper limit of that usually match the 85th percentile speed of traffic?

> There is very little benefit to increasing speed limits beyond the 85th percentile.

Assuming traffic speeds follow a normal distribution, even those who exceed the 85th percentile speed don't exceed it by much (more than 5 mph). Beyond that, we're talking about 97th percentile speed or greater.

> As vehicles speed up, the distance between vehicles increases and thus the total number of vehicles that can occupy a given segment of roadway is decreased. At 30 mph, about 36 vehicles can fit within a one mile stretch (assuming 3 second following distance, 15 ft long vehicles and one travel lane). Under the same assumptions only about 16 vehicles would fit in a one mile section at 70 mph.

As traffic volume increases, the overall flow speed decreases which should offset the issues you noted.
I'm interested to read a citation that shows that increasing yellow light length is superior to RLCs. Please send it my way. Thank you.
> agglutinative

?!

Do you really mean that?

All languages have compound lexemes. And all languages can use description to disambiguate.

The balance in toki pona is at a dramatically different point to English, which has a relatively large functional vocabulary. But it isn't a difference in kind. And most conlangs, in my experience, rely more on compounds than English.

The "Badly" at the end seems to drop your comment from curious bafflement to prejudice. Why would it be bad?

Can you elaborate a bit more on being an atheist in Pakistan? i had conducted a little bit of research a few years ago, but was unable to find any organizations that were openly atheistic (the best I could find were curated but anonymous blogs).

Technically which would be possible and to what degree: 1) being an atheist, 2) Informing immediate family and friends, 3) Informing the local/town community, 4) Widely publishing atheism via media.

Thanks

It's really better and safer to drive at a speed similar to the speed of the rest of traffic. If the speed limit is 55 mph and the pace speed lies between 65 to 75 mph, then the minimum speed you should be driving is 65 mph.

Having less speed variance leads to smoother flow and traffic that's more spread out. That increases safety overall.
The value of Toki Pona is in making fewer distinctions rather than more. You really couldn't have the conversation we're having right now in Toki Pona, but that's not what it's made for. Criticizing it in these terms is a bit like criticizing Perl because it's hard to read over the phone.
Could we get a source on this? It's very hard to believe Reddit is rolling out a change that removes CSS.

EDIT: Source - https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/66q4is/the_web_red...

We’re designing a new set of tools to address the challenges with CSS but continue to allow communities to express their identities. These tools will allow moderators to select customization options for key areas of their subreddit across platforms. For example, header images and flair colors will be rendered correctly on desktop and mobile.

We know great things happen when we give users as much flexibility as possible. The menu of options we’ll provide for customization is still being determined. Our starting point is to replicate as many of the existing uses that already exist, and to expand beyond as we evolve.

Sounds like they're trying to keep the same flexibility as the existing CSS options, which is a bit different than removing styling.

On the other hand, there are a lot of concerns with the approach Reddit is taking: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/66q4is/the_web_red...

Right now, nginx 1.13.x requires compiling against OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer to get TLSv1.3 supported in browsers.

Respectfully, none of what you said has been my experience.

Remote work is available for competent security engineers and consultants in spades. Entire teams at Optiv are distributed across continents (or they were when I worked there, back when it was Accuvant). Delve outside AmaGooBookSoft and you'll find many companies are quite amenable to remote employees for their internal teams, too. Check /r/netsec's hiring posts.

As for learning on your own - I'd cautiously disagree here. If your goal is to learn appsec and you're already a competent developer, you can do that by picking up literally one or two textbooks and participating in bug bounties. Job offers will be more or less thrown at you if you have a pulse and have found more than, say, three non-trivial vulnerabilities in recognizable programs. The companies themselves will often try to recruit you.

Machine learning is, like a lot of software engineering, easy to pick up and play with over a weekend, yes. But it is more difficult to become competitively competent right now for two reasons: 1) the field is exploding with incoming talent looking to capitalize on the new AI wave and 2) the amount of research you'll want to keep up with to stay informed is much higher than infosec.

To be fair though, I still believe someone can pick up machine learning. It's just that (most of) information security is rather more straightforward to ramp up to competency, in terms of resources available.

While I understand your exhaustion, I wonder why they aren't suing companies providing certifications with 'Engineer' in the title. Say, Cisco Certified Engineer, MCSE, etc. It would seem that it would be a far more egregious violation to offer to certify someone as an engineer. Do they not go after the companies claiming to provide these resources as a service? I'm just wondering why it seems so selectively enforced.

I've been driving through rural Serbia for the past day on two lane highways with no sidewalks & not much of a shoulder. There are ton's of people walking along the edges of these streets, traveling from one town to the next. I even offered of a couple of them a ride, and they were happy to keep walking. Another man reading a newspaper was leaning up against a guardrail on the side of the road, again no sidewalk, on a two lane road with a speed limit of 80 kph. And I came across many tractors driving slowly, and a big cart of wood being being driven buy 2 peopled & pulled by oxen. I also drove by 2 kids walking side by side holding hands, walking along the edge of the road in the same lane I'm driving.

These roads are not just for fast driving cars.

This depends somewhat on the number of lanes and the situation. In California it is possible that you could be ticketed for impeding the flow of traffic, although most officers are unlikely to pull you over for this as long as you get out of the lane when they come up behind you (unless you were causing a serious problem).

One of the reasons they would prefer to flush you out of the lane rather than pull you over and give you a ticket is that the very action of pulling you over (possibly across all lanes of traffic) and sitting on the side of the road while ticketing you causes other drivers to slow down (sometimes erratically) and increases the likelihood of a collision.

The CalTrans manual for setting speed limits includes some references for many of the issues this article is discussing:
