There's plenty of other phones. Bluetooth is absolute utter shit. No, it's worse than shit. It's an atrocity. Half the time it doesn't connect. Another third it says it's connecting but it's playing from your phone's speakers still. And when you finally get it working--if you do before smashing the damn phone into the ground--it has shitty sound quality. The engineers who work on this should be ashamed of what they've put out into the world: an ugly monstrosity that seems to be a terrible solution looking for a problem. Reliable wireless connections would be nice, but I'm done hoping it will ever happen as long as Bluetooth is a standard. Not a single Bluetooth product I've ever operated has operated with any reliability whatsoever. It's just absolute garbage.
Totally fair point! I'm only familiar with the Internet era of Monsanto complaints.

Does posting on Medium make a big difference?

I wrote a blog about my struggles to learn Chinese, and it's self-hosted.

https://pingtype.github.io/docs/blog.html

Also, where else should I tell people about the blog? As Roman says, posting around Facebook groups and buying ads didn't help him. I put so much effort into building a program, but now I don't know how to do the marketing, it feels futile. I'll give my code away for free, I just wish I knew how to tell people that it exists so it's not useless!
I am not sure I understand your point, how do you expect to be able to apply a style across multiple elements in a HTML document using attributes of existing elements?

Nevertheless you'd have to define selectors or use classes, even XPATH had to come along for XML.

Then you would also have to define property names and value. And you pretty much invented CSS. To apply it by classification, it has to be declared independent from your document tree, then you might as well separate it.

Be careful what you wish for. The fact that CSS can be so easily declaratively analyzed is the reason why it can be made reasonably fast at all. CSS has some key restrictions—for instance, that attributes always inherit top-down and never bottom-up—that makes it amenable to parallelism (which is no longer a theoretical concern, as parallel CSS implementations are starting to ship). Adding a full programming language would have the potential to make styling much slower than it already is.
There's no point in me repeating the most hateful things that have ever been directed at me, but they certainly were hurtful and made me feel bad.

With that being said, having been the victim of assault multiple times in my life, once needing extensive hospitalization due to the injuries sustained, I can comfortably say that I don't view these two things as being remotely analogous and wholly reject the notion that speech, even speech that I find hurtful or distasteful, is assault.

>It's not just a list of stocks. It's also a basis for the purchasing of stocks by ETFs, Mutual Funds, etc. Being in the S&P provides a lot of "depth" to a company's stock.

It's still just a list and the reason it exists is to indicate some level of vetting. That's the reason that it's used by those funds.

Being excluded from the list just means you don't meet certain requirements but it doesn't block anyone from purchasing your stock.

1. You can use host-mode port binding (equivalent of `docker run -p` as opposed to the routing mesh), you could also use macvlan/ipvlan to do this.

2. Indeed this is tricky right now. One way to sort-of fake it is you can do something like `--mount type=volume,source='important_data{{.Task.Slot}}'`... I'm not sure I would call this a recommendation, but worth playing with. But also I'm not sure if automatic failover of databases is truly a thing, it's just not that easy (outside of the storage aspect).
> I don't believe in audiobooks because you don't retain the same amount of information as you do from read words.

Huh, I'm the opposite, but I think it depends on the subject matter and how much you're reading. I have read about 70+ fantasy and science fiction audiobooks in the last year, but only each one once, and remember most details of all the books. Some characters from some series I've no doubt forgot their names, but soon as I listen to passage from the series my memory is brought back and I remember the details.

Non-fiction on the other hand I don't do too well with audio books. e.g. listening to an audio book on programming is never going to happen for me.

putting 250mi range on a european car just feels like premature optimization.

my thinking is that bmw is going to sell electric cars with a diff spec in the US, same way bmw doesn't sell 1.5L 3 series there.

that said, given China's penchant for American sized cars, I feel like they're missing out on the two biggest economies in the world focusing on europe/asia exC.
Crossfunctionals? wild guess.
A watt is a measure of power, not distance. The equivalent unit for a car would be horsepower. You could express the capacity of your fuel tank in horsepower hours. Since both are measurements of power and horsepower is defined in terms of watts you could even measure the capacity of your fuel tank in kilowatt hours. Similarly, you can define the output of your engine in kilowatts.

This article covers it well: https://theawl.com/a-complete-taxonomy-of-internet-chum-de0b...

It's about the ads you usually find at the side and bottom of dodgy sites. An exact quote from the site:

"Like everything else on the internet, traffic flowing through chumboxes must be tracked in order for everyone to be paid. Each box in the grid’s performance can be tracked both individually and in context of its neighbors. This allows them to be highly optimized; some chum is clearly better than others. As a byproduct of this optimization, an aesthetic has arisen. An effective chumbox clearly plays on reflex and the subconscious. The chumbox aesthetic broadcasts our most basic, libidinal, electrical desires back at us. And gets us to click."

So you get all kinds of disgusting, disturbing and yet fascinating things that entice you to click. Clicking the most disturbing thing encourages more content like that.
You're a moron.

The military has a rank structure, yes. But Officers just starting out learn quickly that while their Senior NCOs fall under their command, they must earn the trust and respect of those NCOs to accomplish their mission.

A product manager that manages a team of developers is in a very similar position.
I guess the hardware does exist, but I was thinking of a different use-case for it: not for fault-tolerance per se (i.e. waiting for the power to come back on or the generator to kick in), but rather for giving the disk cache up to 30 minutes (after the rest of the machine is well-and-truly cut from power) to flush to the disk itself before finally shutting off, rather than a few seconds to empty its pending writes and park the disk head.

You could, therefore, have a really, really big disk cache, and a relatively slow-to-flush disk. With such an architecture, you could build systems that use disk+cache the way Optane NVMe is being used, without having even needed to invent Flash memory to get fast, highly-parallel writes first.

We can't know anything at this stage, but from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like the guy wasn't anything but a white hat.

There's also this:

> Hutchins’ employer, cybersecurity firm Kryptos Logic, had been working closely with the US authorities to help them investigate the WannaCry malware. Hutchins handed over information on the kill switch to the FBI the day after he discovered it, and the chief executive of the firm, Salim Neino, testified in from of the US House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space & Technology the following month.

If true, then the guy would have to be incredibly stupid and naive to live such a double life. Not to mention traveling to the US.

Anything is possible, of course. The problem is that the guy has become well-known, and retracting such a mistake would be politically costly. This guy will probably have the book thrown at him.

It's also a very bad thing for cyber security if researchers cannot do their jobs out of fear.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. My Keybase release contains KBFS, and I'm pretty confident it came from the releases page.
I don't think the skills translate from a kitchen in the manner described. No doubt being in a kitchen environment is demanding, requires rigorous prep, can be high pressured, is high energy etc. These are attributes of the environment though, not the people within it. New people who enter the environment just adapt to it.

Having worked in tech and as a cook, being in an office environment can be draining and torturous and could turn Gordon Ramsey into the worst slacker. This is also due to attributes of the environment, and not the people within it.

If you want the personal attributes described (ability to work under pressure etc) then seek them from people within the corporate world, e.g. people who do field sales, because at least then there's a chance that these skills will remain.
In this case it seems like they're after him for creating and distributing something that was tailored for criminal use. Do we have any examples where the same laws were used to prosecute people who made multi-purpose tools like debuggers, packet sniffers, key loggers, etc?
Yeah, Tesla is probably somewhat overvalued right now, but what were you thinking of doing? Investing in BMW or Ford instead for their breathtaking and innovative self-driving electric cars?

I couldn't agree more.

The worst project managers I've worked with have been keen on deadlines without understanding what they're asking for. They're more interested in schedules than understanding the details of the project.

The best project managers are ones that either know the domain inside out or are good at getting the best out of people (and that doesn't mean acting like a slave driver). I've never met one that had both, but I can imagine they aren't short of money.
I've had a MacBook Pro w/Touch Bar since Dec 2016, and the touch bar has mostly gone unused by me other than the core functions (changing brightness, volume, and ESC and function keys).

The only thing I've used on the TouchBar that I did find very useful was scrubbing in QuickTime when the video is fullscreen.

Still, I would have much rather had a the best spec'd 2016 MacBook Pro wo/TouchBar and physical function and ESC keys.

Edit - And for the record, I love the keyboard over my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro keyboard. No complaints there.

What are some good websites/apis built using government data? AFAIK, most countries have started publishing open datasets about things such as weather, transportation, politician backgrounds, even law!

But I've yet to see some useful websites/apis built on top of them. Most are related to politics, visualization and/or research (which is a laudable enough but doesn't make them worth checking regularly).

I thought the "use" was the destruction or movement of the value, in which case an object is used exactly once.

You may never use a C++ object, but it will be destroyed (under normal circumstances).
The best product managers in my opinion are hands off. All too often I see PM's micromanage every little detail of their product instead of letting the engineers/designers (the experts) do their work. IMO the PM should be involved very little in day to day things and instead focus their time on user research, new features, feedback, etc.
A picture is no evidence. You could take a picture of a ballot but then put another one in the ballot box.
This has nothing to do with free speech, which is protection from government prosecution only (and even then it's tempered by certain situations like threatening attacks against others).

Private organizations or communities can do whatever they want. It's frustrating to constantly see the same argument as if everyone must be allowed on every platform - that's simply not the case.

I usually see recommendations for a 72 character limit. I doubt there's any particular reason for 72, but as you say, it's enough.

Login attempts (should) get rate limited independently of password length limits, which makes the difference between hashing 8 characters and hashing 72 characters even less meaningful.
> "Just because an AES implementation matches the test vectors does not make it correct or safe."

Actually, this does make it correct. Whether or not it is safe depends on the application. For example, I sent my friend Bob some cyphertext that I calculated by hand with a pencil and paper using the AES algorithm. I sent it via my trusted courier Eve. It took four hours for me to do the calculation. At the last minute I started to second guess my math so I double checked it against a respected crypto library. It was fine, so I handed it off to Eve. I am pretty sure that in this application my choice to calculate the answer by hand was exactly as safe as if I had just used the library. In fact, I am so sure (given that the answers were identical), that just as Eve was walking out the door, enroute to Bob, I pulled her close and whispered in her ear: "Eve, be very careful with this cyphertext, it took me four hours to create it."
From the example of FOSI in the article, it looks like the SGML elements aren't directly contained within the elements they style but refer them them from attributes (gi="h1", gi="h2", etc.), which is actually more similar in functionality to having external CSS stylesheets than inline CSS (which is what I think you're referring to).

Colors are a way to present more information in the same amount of text. They are effective. Modern text editors color literally every single word, even displaying them different fonts and styles. Should we all just go backwards to using vi?

'Exa' hard to type? 3 characters! What savagery is this??? How could anyone possibly think you're capable of that? It must be so hard for you given that you've been suffering from congenital deadly ineptitude syndrome. And your left half of your body was entirely devoured by a bear when you tried to escape from the mental asylum. Everyone ought to accomodate you in every way possible. They owe you, since you are a true patriot and an exemplary human being doing the whole of humanity such a great service with your utmost and unrelenting dedication to laziness.
You can switch to that model using "box-sizing: border-box", and thats the default for bootstrap and a lot of frameworks these days. I actually much prefer that to what ended up being the default, but maintaining a stylesheet that had to account for the two different models was a big pain.
You don't. It doesn't happen often, but it is frustrating. Each time it eventually rebooted on its own.

But with Google your Mom can find out when the store is open and where it is. Facebook lets grandparents see photos of grandchildren. Reading a blog replaces reading the gossip column in the daily paper. You could finally buy plane tickets without driving somewhere.

That's awfully cynical. They took a wait and see approach. Would you run your engineering team any differently? How do you tell a viable fork from the (many) others that have failed? If BCH falls to $10 in two weeks, would you still direct your engineers to support it?
