The team working on Spyder (the Python closest alternative to RStudio) have something like R Notebooks in their roadmap for a while now, but it keeps being pushed into the future.

I wish they could use RStudio for a while and understand just how important is the feature for someone using Python for research.

Since, this system is a layer outside the kernel, just a bunch of normal applications I don't think this would work as smoothly. I think you'd need a custom storage server to serve the audio card from the other machine. It doesn't by default serve the entire host filesystem.

That said, I think the goal of upspin is that you easily can re-use its interfaces to do things like this. There are already some guides about writing custom shim storage servers like that (the main example being a webcam server), but I think this sort of experimentation is still in the early phases.

If it was an ex-admin he might have deleted all the backups also. But they should be able to tell this publicly, otherwise it's similar to recent case where the newbie deleted the prod DB without any backup.
but he had assets there and his business required access to a us-based store.

one story said he met his wife in the us. if she was a us citizen that could be an addtional reason he might want to be able to travel to the us.

in other words, he had reasons to care about potentially having an outstanding judgment against him in the us.

or maybe the appeals court date was before he changed the name to pirate joes?

to be fair, i am making an assumption when i say he picked th wrong name (original name was transilvania trading): that he did not want to be sued in the us. but maybe he did. does not sound like he had a large legal budget though.

there is also the possibility that the name of the business and the other things he did to mimick trader joes had nothing to do with courts reasoning. the fact that he sold goods with a us trademark on the label was enough.

in that case maybe the name matters little.

but if that is true, then shouldn't we see some changes in the risk profile for all sellers of grey market goods even when the names of their stores bear no resemblance to any us trademark associated with goods they sell.

all of the grey market stores i have seen have names that do not mimick any trademarks held by the manufacturers of the goods they sell. but maybe i have not seen enough of them.

my opinion is he picked the wrong name. what consumer would think "transilvania trading" was an authorized reseller of trader joes? otoh, "pirate joes"? but what do i know? not much.

Eventually its gets unwieldy when you have lots of classes. I've worked on old code in that style (DI w/o a library), it produces a lot of boilerplate. Piles and piles of "container" classes filled with deps getting passed around gets real old, real fast.

Are you implying that it's illogical to avoid some shared surfaces, if you can't avoid all of them? I don't really have enough evidence to argue either way, so I just avoid touching things when a convenient alternative exists.
The entire world is not quite ready for what these devices are and what they enable. It's not surprising at all.

Also worth noting that the FAA has been trying to regulate these devices and that attempt failed in court. So right now the rules are incredibly lax, and most folks don't file flight plans because usually the folks at airports won't even talk to you when you try and call them about it (or so has been my experience).

But it's disconcerting, because its just not that hard to imagine someone using these devices for all sorts of previously unimagined crimes.

Maybe but then you need to maintain a whole separate windows installation with separate printer and scanner drivers and network logins and so on. Plus your files are hidden away inside a vm disk image. If all you need is some light internet/mail access and your legacy applications, while still being able to use your peripherals, 32bit windows fits the bill perfectly as long as 64bit windows refuses to implement 16bit compatibility.
FWIW, when I was in GIS school, they talked about the fact that many GIS jobs would say crap like "requires 5 years experience in X software" when the software in question was not even 5 years old.

I took Kuk Sool Won in college (Korean art focusing on joint locks, throws, pressure points, so not too different) and very nearly the first thing they taught us was how to break a fall in every direction.

Saved myself from being concussed twice in college (falling on ice, low speed collision with a car).

Now I do tai chi and I've had at least three bad stumbles on steps or sinkholes that would have put me in a leg cast ten years ago and I was just fine because I took all the weight off of the misplaced foot and sank to the ground.

Several of these remind me of similar injuries friends and family have experienced and I'm very glad I didn't have to go through the same thing.

If I were in charge of PE, every kid aged 10 and over would be a tumbling master. Then I would start teaching them sports.
I have a few suggestions at the intersection of psychology/neuroscience and UX.

I found Universal Principles of Design to be a good read that talks about human-computer interaction with some examples of psychology. Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a psychology book that often gets quoted in interaction design theory. Another one I’ve read is Emotional Design.

While About Face and Designing for the Digital Age are more general interaction design books, these have an extensive discussion on user goals, which I've extended a bit in the ebook I'm writing.

While I haven’t read it yet, Dr. Susan Weinschenk wrote 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know about People. She’s a behavioral scientist who has worked in UX for over 30 years. Her site is at http://www.theteamw.com.

I agree with all of this, but would add that even the federal government describes power infrastructure with sentences like, "aging and ... being pushed to do more than it was originally designed to do" (https://energy.gov/oe/services/technology-development/smart-...).

I'm not a power grid engineer. I don't have the knowledge to make useful, specific suggestions. I do live in an area with semi-regular power outages, whether caused by demand (summertime AC usage), thunderstorm, falling tree branches, vehicle vs. pole accidents, and other major component failure (the occasional transformer light show or squirrel suicide-by-transformer). In every case, PG&E appears to be coming out and replacing failed equipment with ... identical equipment. To their credit, they do it fairly quickly.

I seriously doubt though that the current situation is the best they can afford to do, especially with the current political focus on infrastructure.
Long-haul lines in North America are rarely buried, the cost is too high. One notable exception is Quebec's grid which, after the disatrous 1998 ice storm which brought down a huge portion of their lines, buried them to avoid a similar catastrophe in the future.

Maybe they "thought" it was "weird" retroactively after the Peloponnesian War. Athens was mishandled pretty badly after it's defeat by the pro-Spartan government of the Thirty Tyrants. That on top of being at war with Sparta for more than twenty years would have made them pretty averse to anything Spartan.
I mean wouldn't that be an issue for areas with tectonic activity? I wouldn't imagine they would be as easy to repair if they were under ground.
We're undergoing a transformative shift in the nature of jobs. I am an optimist, we will experience a lot of uncertainty in the next few years but come out the other side with full employment.

Listened to an engaging interview Jason Calacanis had on TWIST with Ryan Carson from Treehouse. He said that our universities are graduating 400,000 programmers a year but we need over a million. He's arguing that education needs to change.

http://thisweekinstartups.com/ryan-carson-treehouse/

There are plenty of people right here in America that are either unemployed or under employed that can take those jobs. But it's going to be with $8000 for a developer bootcamp or if you're able to learn online for $1200 with Treehouse.

Someone has to service the robots of the future and the driverless car software. Just like Twilio allowed even average developers to create telephony apps a future company will allow smart people to knit together expert systems with API calls to a framework with something like Google's TensorFlow on the back end.

well back in 2012 was literally the first time a code bootcamp had been done. I think because of that, a lot of smart people saw you could take this business model and get started really cheaply and it could be huge, which is was/is.

If you look at the early cohorts of DBC, anyone of those people could have learned to program on their own or already was. I think a lot of smart risk takers saw a huge opportunity that was wide open and ran with it.

It would be interested to see how startups like SkySafe (https://www.skysafe.io/ - backed by a16z) respond to these kinds of incidents. I could see users of these startups wanting to create "no-fly" zones to protect assets of theirs such as powerlines.

I think as drones grow to become more common in our daily lives, the "Drone Security" industry will follow along.
I can see why the author is drawing this conclusion...

I wrote ASP.NET controls for a long time, and I see a lot of similarities in how I structure react components and how I would have written WebControls in ASP.NET.

I think in hindsight, my conclusion/realization from reading this article is that the lost opportunity for Microsoft was to re-invent the whole presentation layer with things like WPF and Silverlight, instead of trying to make it actually fit within the technology stack that people had settled on (HTML/CSS/JS).
My database courses were pretty terrible, everything besides basic SQL syntax and some implementation specific stuff I've had to teach myself (some classes were pretty much an ad for MS SQL). And judging by many people I've worked with, I think this may be true more often than not.

"Let'em burn" with respect to "the banks" has been researched and cited as exacerbating the great depression[1].

I know there are folks legitimately concerned with moral hazard, and genuinely believe letting it all burn down would have been the better approach. I'm just glad they weren't in charge when everything went into a tail spin. I think it would have been a LOT worse for everyone.

The Automaker bailout, in hindsight, seems like it was the better call than letting them fail. If they had failed, the surviving ones would have acquired all the valuable scrap on a fire-sale, expanded to fill the void and you'd probably have more or less the same auto industry today. But in the interim, a lot of people would have lost their jobs. So that's a LOT worse for some, and I honestly can't tell who wins but on aggregate I assume it's a wash.

I've been in Pirate Joe's (several years ago now); I can't imagine anyone thinking it was a legitimate Trader Joe's store - it felt very obviously to be a parody/rip-off.

I remember back in Windows Vista days (and early Windows 7 builds) doing extensive 32-bit Vs 64-bit testing and the 32 bit system outperformed the 64-bit in everything from startup time to application launch time.

This being said, PAE doesn't seem to work great and out of a lab, when you start running multiple applications, you will usually want 4GB memory on the smallest system and typically 8GB, so, I think 64-bit is worth the sacrifice!

Cancer Drug Proves to Be Effective Against Multiple Tumors
> More evidence that power lines should be under ground.

I agree in principle, and there are places that do this, but there are a lot of practical considerations too. A neat story about what it's like when there's a failure in a big underground line: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/net/user/tytso/archive/high-power

In California, you have problems with tectonic movement -- even small fault activity will stretch, relocate, and damage buried lines. In nearly everywhere else, you have underground water tables seeping in around your buried lines.

None of these are insurmountable, but they don't make it an easy job either.
I've been on the wrong-side of this unfortunately.

Rather than implementing a sane archive delete strategy, data was left there to collect so there was pretty much no hope for a particular join not to generate page miss.

Eventually we settled on a NoSQL DB with denormalized data in partitions. A few years later we realized we made a poor choice in having too few and too big of partitions, and basically just repeated the mistake with a different database technology (made even worse because now the things on disk were even bigger that we needed to fetch!)
> Unleash a flood of random drivers on an unsuspecting populous.

Not sure if it's a "flood", but the volume of drivers is self-adjusting for the demand. As to the quality of drivers, I have no reason to believe Uber/Lyft drivers are worse than taxis. Chicago taxis drive like lunatics, but this hasn't been so much my experience with Uber/Lyft drivers, who seem to be a cross-section of Chicago drivers. And I don't know that the populace has been meaningfully "unsuspecting".

So all in all, this seems like a net positive--one less thing for the government to spend money regulating in the long run and a better system for everyone else (probably the former caused the latter, but anyway...).
I mean, hopefully the bird-proofing on those planes is enough to keep a drone from stopping the engine. Otherwise we need to outlaw birds.
It’s nice to see the mention of Wirify. Seeing a finished website as a wireframe provides a great understanding of an existing site for embarking on design improvements or redesigns.

I was pleased that this article differentiates between information architects and interaction designers, but it unfortunately treats UX designers and graphic designers as the same role. These are two different fields.

A graphic designer ought to be evaluated according to their visual design style and the way they communicate through design, whereas a UX practitioner should be evaluated for how well they solve research and/or design problems. While some graphic designers do cross over into visual design or UX, UX designers can also enter that field from development (as I did), psychology, marketing, and more. There’s a reason why there’s a joke in our field that most of us can’t draw much more than a stick figure.
But why do they offer 32 bit windows to consumers? I get why you'd keep some embedded skew for just this dos emulation legacy case, but why are 4% of backblaze customers running a 32 bit windows? Microsoft shouldn't be offering that as a choice.
They do regulate. Uber/Lyft flout the regulations...
Haha. I helped out IT for a major corporation. This was only a few-ish years ago, but we were just moving to Windows 7 from XP.

It was funny, because the only XP image they had was 32 bit. So we had really new PCs (Dells that are now 5-7 years old) running on these 32bit machines, with no choice by their IT staff: they couldn't make a new image (was a "global IT" thing).

So, they gave us a Windows 7 image that was only 32bit. Fun getting that one sorted before it was on everyone's PCs.
The funny thing is that he's primarily after unidirectional data flow and anti-data binding. I can actually get behind that. I worked on several large WPF projects many years ago and TBH I don't think it would be impossible to implement a uni-directional/redux style system within WPF. Would be an interesting project.

IF WPF was still the primary UI tech on Windows I probably could get behind implementing such a library.
