It seems to me that Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat are causing extreme narcissism to embed itself in younger cohorts, along with workers being more mobile causing family units to fall apart. The shitty parts of human behavior are being exploited by tech companies for obscene profits with no governance of their actions.

Data shows that loneliness kills, but we shun extended family living arrangements in the US (you still live with your parens/grandparents?). Data shows that social media networks trigger the same parts of your brain as cocaine, and are just as addictive.

Just my two cents.

To be fair, pretty much any platform (operating system) provides rich APIs and basic functionality like built-in UI components. So I don't think there's a lot more pre-existing functionality in a browser vs Windows or Android.
Sure Tesla is in a 'war' against the existing auto-industry but I wouldn't say it is one that they won yet. From a canceled-reservation holder, I'm not quite sure if they will.

They did a pseudo-release to employees only, as the article mentioned, that never even gave the final specs out to customers with existing orders. Not a single order has been delivered to a real customer nor have they even accepted orders yet. Sure reservations can continue to climb but we're still waiting around for an actual delivered car. If you are adding more orders in a week than you expect to produce in a week at the end of next year, those reservations are pointless.

Reading through Tesla forums, you'll quickly find out that Tesla has a service problem. A lack of centers, parts and awfully slow turnaround times. It doesn't appear that they really figured this one out yet. Sure they may be doubling stores, but they will be more than doubling cars in that same period. How will they manage all their new cars, with new customers who aren't as welcoming as the early S/X owners?

I feel like I just sound like one of the doubters mentioned in the article now, just slightly longer term. Oh well, I guess we'll see if Tesla can actually manage it soon.

GW is a very important characteristic of an energy storage system, especially as a ratio of GWh. A technology could store 100TWh, but if it can only release 1kW, I'm not interested.

The comment you replied to said "just a valid and important measurement as the amount of energy it stores". The comment didn't say power was the same thing as energy, it says that the power is as important as the energy. I don't think this would fail high school physics.
Safari 10 supports an older version of Web Cryptography. 2 weeks ago on the WebKit Blog there was a post about the current state of Web Cryptography and the differences between the older version (that Safari 10 supports) and the new version (that Safari Technical Preview supports). And it says that the older Web Cryptography only supported AES-CBC but the new one supports AES-GCM.

https://webkit.org/blog/7790/update-on-web-cryptography/
Why do you think that? I read a lot of about grid storage, and I can't come to the same conclusion as you on this one. It's very common to talk about GW in isolation of GWh for storage systems in the press, and for GW to be talked about before GWh.

And if you're used to thinking about utilities, it makes a lot of sense, you think about power capacity, and then the duration afterwards. GW is a more direct way to approach that. If you want to get duration from GWh and GW, you have to do a mental division, which is slower than multiplication.

I assume the Touch Bar and the corresponding decision to remove the ESC key is part of the strategy to make the transition between iOS and MacOS as seamless as possible, even if the 2 systems are never completely unified. I can't remember the last time I've ever used the ESC key in day-to-day computing but I notice its absence all the time when using the iPad Pro's smart cover keyboard.

I don't own a Touch Bar laptop myself but as someone who has to teach people how to use computers and applications, the Touch Bar bothers me as much as Microsoft Office's Ribbon toolbar, in which functionality somehow becomes even more difficult to memorize because of the seemingly arbitrary decision in how the context buttons are arranged (nevermind how they might change with each software update).
Disagree. The parens are a missed opportunity. If you use geometry instead, you gain extraordinary new powers of analyzing and editing large programs in 2 and 3 dimensions. Not possible with the parens. The benefits still are not obvious but we're working on publishing more data and tools

EDIT: It looks like it's using the rubrail package, which links with the private DFRFoundation framework. rubrail itself is using the objc package. I think this code snippet from the README[1] is enough:

let obj: *mut Object = msg_send![cls, new];
let hash: usize = msg_send![obj, hash];
let is_kind: BOOL = msg_send![obj, isKindOfClass:cls];
// Even void methods must have their return type annotated
let _: () = msg_send![obj, release];

Ugh. Why?

prefix notation mimics of how we call functions

setv result (my_function arg1, arg2)

to me this is as readeable as

set result= my_function( arg1, arg2)

I realize that specifically arithmetic expressions in prefix notation look foreign, however I think most of the code are function calls -- and that's very normal.

If I would to think of an example where LISP notation is un natural -- it would be the if-statements.
8/mth really isn't that much. If you go to grad school for history or something you have to learn to crush whole libraries. It's a developed skill like any other, hard but achievable. Personally I closely read one dense, rich book a month or so, then alongside that another dozen or two with varying levels of thoroughness. For example, I spent about two afternoons on Happy City, but it took me several months for just Vol 1 of Schopenhauer's Parerga and Paralipomena.

Personally I've found over the years that this balance between reading a very small number of books closely and a whole lot casually has worked well and has led each set to complement the other.

I'd not worry about "retaining" in the sense of being able to mouth all sorts of facts and figures and arguments and story details several weeks later. Sometimes this stuff is important, but for me anyway I only "retain" in this sense when I take the further step of taking notes after finishing a chapter, etc. Most books aren't worth that IMO given you can just pull them off the shelf when you need to look something up. But books can affect you in other dimensions, especially in slowly enlarging your perspective in ways you hardly even notice.

(But I mean, if you literally couldn't talk -at all- for a few minutes about a book you read last month, that's a different story!)

80% of arrests would be non-malicious, so a very strong prior that a given arrest is malicious would be completely unreasonable.

Sure, but we're not talking about a randomly selected item here. Looking at US arrests w/r/t "cybercrime" and given the history of overly broad interpretations of the CFAA and what-not, I think it's a lot less clear than you are suggesting.

"US law enforcement is the bad guy, therefore any given choice they make is probably evil" is fiction-logic. It works in movies, not in real life.

We're not talking about "logic" (as in "deductive logic") here... w're talking about the kind of fuzzy reasoning, based on abduction and bayesian inference, that human beings use in the face of limited information... and with an understanding that you revise your position as new information is acquired.

The first sentence/paragraph needs to be the first sentence/paragraph. I'm personally sick of people optimizing things to "hook" their "audience". I much prefer when people simply write honestly and to the point. Not everything in life has to be a sales pitch.

(This post was definitely not "to the point", but that's a stylistic choice of the author; I can respect that even if I don't like it.)

The Touch Bar has revolutionized the way I accidentally invoke Siri once per 30 minute period.
I had it on for a day and the constant context switching was annoying. I flipped the setting back so that the default toolbar (volume, esc, brightness etc) is always displayed.

I still don't like it at all. I'll sometimes look up while thinking and one of my fingers will accidentally be resting on the brightness dimmer. I'll look back down and my screen is black and I'm like WTF??! Only to realize where my finger was with no feedback I had done so.

I wish the touch bar would go away.

You did not "totally misunderstand something": Immutability is a virtue in FP, you should write in this style. But it is only a "fundamental principle" and "core concept" in highly pure languages - and even Haskell allows mutable variables[1].

Sometimes you just need them, e.g. when handling potentially very large vectors in finite memory. CL's (sort ...) for example mutates the input sequence (or "destructively sorts" it [2]).

I love Logo! Advanced Logo by Michael Friendly is one of my programming books.

Logo came very close to TN and ETNs but adding the parens and other visible syntax I believe was a design mistake. It's not obvious, but when working with large programs in 2 and 3 dimensions (only possible with parens free lisp, or ETNs as we call them), you gain tremendous productivity benefits
I was issued a new gen MBP at work and have been supremely disappointed. The touch bar is (to me) a useless anti-feature, and am also completely dissatisfied with the new keyboard (reduced tactility across the board, varying tactility from key to key, a loud static noise emitted from the keys when the machine heats up, etc).

I went so far as to try to return this thing, but my employer wasn't willing to indulge me. The GPU upgrade and smaller form factor, to me, aren't worth the sub-par keyboard. If they allowed for more than 16GB of RAM the new models might be worthwhile, but as it stands I definitely do not recommend it as a work machine.

I don't have kids myself but can refer to my nieces.

They have iPhones and access to the internet but they have limited internet time. Not limited in some sort of technological way, but their parents simply tell them they're not allowed to use the devices before 5pm during weekdays and they quite simply listen to their parents.

Why don't other parents do this?
I got why you used that as a reference. I was just saying it's a bit of a stretch to say your arguments about the aforementioned rule are the reason nobody else attempted to implement Argon2 when we already have a long list of examples of people who do roll their own ciphers.

The point of the rule is to discourage those who don't know what they're doing from compromising live systems. The kinds of people interested in Argon2 are the kind who are already security minded so will understand the point behind the rule and will understand it's fine to ignore that rule if you understand the caveats that rule implies.

The fact Argon2 hadn't been reimplemented can easily be explained for a number of other reasons too.

Most people with even a casual interest in security do understand that point behind the "don't roll your own" rule so I think it's odd to suggest that we are all too literally minded. As evidenced by the fact that a great many people do write their own hobby libraries.
It should be still rewritten in rust.

Unfortunately, it only does this if STDOUT is a TTY. If it's a pipe, then it outputs a single 8 character long password. So I'm afraid you've been generating rather low entropy passwords by piping the output of pwgen through md5sum.

You can confirm this by piping pwgen through cat: pwgen | cat

As I have said before, I can deal with almost anything if you pay me enough.

But they don't pay anyone enough to deal with unlimited bullshit. And that's what you get when your boss's boss has no idea what you do or how you do it, and whenever he does the manager's power walk, it looks like you're just sitting there, doing nothing.

The polygraph machine is a psychological trick. The actual lie detector is the operator, just like in Meet the Parents, and the ritual and setting is intended to intimidate you, belittle you, and make you stressed enough for the human to get a read on your reactions.

The test isn't entirely bullshit, but the machine sure is, and I sure wish they'd find a better way to do it without all the gratuitous bullying and humiliation. And since the detectors are human, there's no way to guarantee consistency across tests w.r.t. false positives and false negatives.
> PS. Patreon, please make a Japanese version of your site!

So you know, https://enty.jp/ is largely this. Some of the creators I follow there are moving to Patreon though, interestingly.

The Japanese creators I see (mostly visual artists) also don't seem like super huge fans of the idea of digital content, which is what Western folks on Patreon largely expect. Japanese creators seem to like selling books and such at conventions and rarely sell their books digitally, which is a bummer for someone who doesn't want to pay international postage. I have seen some change this though (the ones who moved to Patreon).

I am not the original thread author, but I would postulate that it first depends on what each individual considers time wasted vs time well spent.

Many consider a relaxing, entertaining read to be worthwhile after a hard week of work in its own right.

For those who need a more "tangible" return on reading, though, many fiction books, intentionally or not, introduce ideas, philosophies, thoughts and perspective.
Some explore political systems, others philosophies, others social/economic constructs, yet others interpersonal relationships, etc. From that perspective, one can learn from many fiction books, exercise one's mental muscles, gain new perspectives, and even take actionable insight.

I'm not saying Danielle Steel or Sydney Sheldon are necessarily likely candidates for bringing lifestyle change; but I have personally found many fiction (particularly SF in my case) books to have played a large part in influencing my perspective on the world and people within it, impact my likes and priorities, and so on.

I don't agree with ideas in Starship Troopers but found them challenging my own worldview. Arthur Clarke put Sri Lanka / Ceylon on my bucket list, made me interested in astronomy AND computer science. Neuromancer instigated my trip to Japan and visit to Tokyo, where I very much experienced the night-time vista through Case's eyes. A lot of Tom Clancy (I know... I know;) renewed my interest in flying and geopolitics, and I've happily used the word "nekulturny" in my daily usage since. Karl May's doubly-fictional accounts of American West and Arabian Peninsula added them to my own imagination.
Tau Zero, Childhood's end, and Children of men made me realize how much I empathized with success and continuation of species more than Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" or Dawkins' "Selfish Gene" ever did. And so on...

I'm using a machine with a touch bar right now and I have an escape key in the upper-left corner of the touch bar where it always was. I don't understand this complaint.
Speaking for myself, I tend to alternate between fiction and non-fiction books. Generally, fiction books are story-driven (any sci-fi/fantasy/general fiction) and center around relationships between characters overlaid with some other topics. This means any good fiction is a setting custom built to examine specific aspects of humanity or some aspect of the world we live in or could live in. Any reasonably 'good' fiction is an exploration of highs and lows and challenges and redemptions, and I believe that these lead us to be better able to understand our fellow humans, and allow us to better think about and imagine the situations we might face in our lives or re-examine experiences we've had.
