While I love the detailed growth article, I've been disappointed by Grammarly recently.

It used to do a really good job fixing my notes, but I feel like it's detection ability dropped off a cliff recently. I've had some pieces with pretty obvious mistakes that it has previously caught not get highlighted on a regular basis.

I saw the same thing happen with FoxType's V1 product, and then they pivoted away from it and eventually closed.

I wonder if there is some issue in aggregating people's writing mistakes into AI that lowers its value over time?
Tool for Reverse Engineering of Malware Binaries Released on GitHub
May be the case, but 10 hours is plenty for me so not a real issue. The other advantages making up the full package are a big win for me. I still have an use full linux laptops and they are fine but they take a little more effort to set up and such.
The alternative is that you build the cost of installing, maintaining, and removing the GPS into your loan terms and/or purchase price.

Breaking stuff out into fees can make sense when you want to discourage certain behaviors and therefore charge a fee for them. But everyone with a loan will have the device installed, maintained during the term, and removed at the end of the term or on default. There is not a behavior to modify, so these fees are stupid nonsense.
> and can do 3d scanning

Very badly. I'm very disappointed by Tango in this regard.
Yep, lowers the entry barrier to add it to a project. I think most of the modern frameworks have decent support out of the box but for projects started a decade ago it's useful
They never went away?
Would you mind sharing the system or what it looks like?

I haven't tested the re-build process, which is why I'm almost certain it would fail me/require a lot of terrible manual steps.
Me too, because Solaris, Irix and NeXTSTEP were the only UNIXes that had attempts to be something better than just XWIndows on top of POSIX.
Surprisingly, the .zip files themselves contain an embedded TLS signature. There's a link in the footer of the download page which explains it.

But you're right, it's not GPG, and hence no web of trust behind LineageOS.
Your ADD meds can be as neurotoxic as MDMA, especially with seratonin syndrome. The real discussion here isn't quite safety though. It's more just having the ability to legally study them in the first place. As schedule 1 drugs, its nearly impossible for researchers to even obtain/synthesize the drugs to study in the first place leaving existing research limited to small sample sizes, old data, or subjective stories. This is a huge deal for a lot of reasons.
It makes sense, right? Keep selling decent quality WD branded drives to consumers who don't care for best-in-industry MTTF, often in external enclosures, but buy HGST so you also get money from super nerds.
You didn't read what I wrote, I'm talking about the natural progression as to how HW and SW platforms evolve. I use 3D accelerator hardware as an example of initial fragment and divergence followed by convergence.

Where did I write that there's no legitimate use cases for AR? I find games the LEAST PLAUSIBLE use case because holding your phone and moving around a virtual plane is a nice demo, but sucks for extended game sessions.

Indoor navigation and stuff like Google Lens is the most plausible use. And many of the examples you show in your ideas link like showing seat positions, aren't possible in ARKit because it doesn't have persistence.

A lot of the examples in the ideas thread require area understanding like Google's Visual Positioning System, or Tango. If you want a consumer to be able to pop open the camera and instantly have it tell him where his seat is on an airplane, you will have needed to already have stored persistent features of the interior of the plane. (e.g. Tango ADF https://developers.google.com/tango/overview/area-learning)

Look at the Tango app in Lowes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAQ0y19uEYo) This is the kind of AR that is useful to the majority of people, it's the kind of AR that is a killer app, and it's the kind of AR that won't be available without area understanding capable HW deployed for creating these maps so they can be consumed by cheaper SW-only AR stacks.
I don't think anyone is saying that accepting the DPRK is a good option. I'm saying it may end up being the best worst option available to us at some unspecified point in the next decade or so.

Hopefully we can encourage or entice China into forcing systematic reform on a post-Kim DPRK. I don't think China will all too keen to foster democracy and open markets, so we shouldn't expect too much. But we can probably inveigh on China that an economically and socially stable DPRK is preferable to an unstable one, and that the global soft power China desperately craves will come when it is seen as having at least a shred of concern for human rights. Up to us and China to come to terms on exactly what the bargain would be. But my best guess is that it won't be something we'd currently find conscionable or acceptable.

My point is, from a realist perspective, our bargaining power is only going to incrementally diminish over time. Today we have the strongest hand of cards we are ever going to be delt, and it is a really shitty hand. Tomorrow our hand is going to be even shittier, and China's stronger. You dont need to stretch your imagination too far to see that we have no real way to win this game. Previous presidents have tried checking. Trump has tried bluffing. Sooner or later, someone at the table is going to call.
Why is the Lambda Architecture so complex?
Funny about all this is that they are charging $200 to remove the immobilizer, and by immobilizing the vehicle it's clear it's not been removed... so why are they immobilizing his vehicle for the $200 charge for removal of a product that they didn't remove? My brain, it hurts.

They are asserting that it's their property, but they want to charge to get it back, and will punish you if you don't pay. Man, I love car dealerships.
By Asana, I just meant employee. More people intuitively understood our metrics when we switched our framing.

I have a question: do you feel like you can think okay until you sit down and look at a screen? Sometimes, for me, it feels like the physical properties of looking at a screen destroy my ability to think.
The advice in this thread is pretty good - Ruling out the obvious by seeing a doctor and a therapist seems like good advice. Sounds like you're under a lot of stress. When you're under stress even the simple things in life gets many times harder.

Once you've cleared that. I always recommend meditation and exercise. Plus reading. And writing. It's tough when you're under stress to see how you can fit it in, but it makes everything run so much better.

At 33 you shouldn't really be having these raft of issues. However, if you're anything like me, you've spent the last 10 years running 1000%, hacking till 2am regularly and generally not taking good care of yourself. Stuff that you can push yourself to do at 18 gets harder and harder each year.

Finally. You're right. Web Development is crazy at the moment. It's one of the fastest moving areas in tech at the moment. I don't know how anyone can keep up. So don't overload yourself with expectations.
I think there's two factors here

1. The relative risk is reduced only when your risk pool size becomes huge, and it would be difficult for a start-up charity to weather the initial storm.

2. The execution of such a charity would be non-trivial. As a dumb example, if someone wanted to make "uber for the poor", a charity that provides free ride hailing using donated time and resources donated entirely by the drivers, you would still need to build the app and run the infrastructure. Actually owning the vehicles and maintaining them only adds to the burden.
Thus why this new approval is such a big deal. We can finally research it and make some scientific conclusions instead of DEA conclusions.
In the EU, I think that's specifically prohibited - a lot of work done to open things up has been done by the EU, to allow (for instance) warranties to be valid providing the correct servicing has been done, regardless of the garage doing the servicing.
"First see a medical doctor and rule out an physical / medical problems. Once you rule that out then see a therapist. Talk it out with a professional." – this.

Reasons: (1) If there's an organic cause, it may be symptomatic of something else; it may be amenable to medical treatment; and whether or not either of these are true, you'll know whose experiences and advice are more likely relevant to you. (2) At least part of your issue (the panic) sounds amenable to behavioral treatment, whether or not there's any other issues going on. (And if it's not – if there's an organic cause for that too – that's worth knowing.)

You might have to iterate through several doctors and several therapists to find one who's effective.

In parallel with this, you might want to explore whether you can work on a different schedule. I've rarely managed to do six hours of work within a 9am-5pm slot, but I can get 12-14 hours of work done a day if I get to choose the hours – align them with my energy level, take actual breaks when I flag, feel a sense of ownership and autonomy.
Unless it's some trusted hardware with key verification, i'm finding it hard to believe this. Surely this can be reverse engineered.

Besides, I imagine they make most of their money off people who don't realize this is an option, let alone understanding how to do it.
> Perhaps we need to see what Google and Facebook actually have on us...

A great approach to spreading awareness is doing exactly this. There are groups like the one linked below who have been staging immersive theatre pieces which simulate a scenario where a devious actor has gained access to your data. And they do this with the audience's actual social media data (voluntarily given and erased after the show) so that the implications really hit home to them.

This applies to things like houses with objective values too. People don't treat risks rationally.
Initial coin offering. Basically selling a cryptocurrency instead of shares to skirt around brokerage laws. But it also removes a lot of the investment protections offered by those laws, so it's a lot easier to get scammed.
Then again, taxi rates should go down once you no longer need to factor the driver's wages into the equation.

Also, insurance should be cheaper and running costs ditto (presumably, the bulk of autonomous vehicles will be electric)

Besides, in some markets taxis ARE the cheaper option if you don't need a car very often - when living in Norway's #2 town about a decade ago, the annual road tax, insurance, leased parking space &c added up to a cost equivalent to more than 200 4-mile taxi rides. And that is leaving depreciation and maintenance out of it...
The Socialism America Needs Now
I second seeing a doctor as digestive diseases for example result in vastly reduced energy levels. EX: "Albumin levels low" = your starving even if your eating plenty of food.

But, I would also add getting even modest regular exercise can make a massive difference. Even just 1 hour a week split over 3-4 days can also dramatically change mood and energy levels.
Cash being tied to goldbars is a one-way street. You can't just take some two week old goldbars to an ATM and feed the goldbars into the machine to get cash.
As I understand it the Broad Institute discovered that these 'cleaning' cycles are unchecked and essentially overclocked in schizophrenics
C'mon now, everyone knows that ATM machines prefer stray cats.
Depreciation/market values do not correlate at all with your rankings. What did you base them on?
I would also suggest that you do the same with a metric for "slowest action in 15 minute period of user input". 99% of actions are fast but you have hundreds of actions over 15 minutes, people will notice those slow ones.
The death of every drug study thread is anecdotal stories. They are doing these studies so we can stop referring to that time we got shit faced with our friends.
Wow, this brings back vivid memories of late 80's, when I was assigned to write atan2 by hand on Multiflow's 28/14/7-wide VLIW machines.

(Everyone in the company who could hand-code (even us OS guys and gals ;-) was assigned a math routine--it was an all-hands-on-deck kind of performance situation in our competition with Alliant and Convex.)

Imagine trying to hand-schedule up to 28 operations at once, including all memory loads with 12 or 14 (forget now) clocks to memory, all bus contending had to be done by hand, etc, etc. What fun! That's why VLIW compilers were so challenging to write: all resources software-managed.

But, alas, in the end the mini-super market died. We all lost to Sun eventually, as everyone wanted his own machine, even if much less powerful--never bet against having the computer power closer to the user (starting with mainframes): minicomputer / workstation / PC / mobile / etc, right down the line to today.

(What's going to displace mobile, IoT? Doesn't seem likely. Perhaps when you reach the limit of what you can hold in your hand, that's the last form factor? I don't believe wearable computing will ever really catch on, but I'm old fustian.)
> In Node, if you use Express (find out in the next article why you shouldn’t , but most people do)

Now that's just mean. Why can't he just say it there!
A lot of their growth is due to a lack of mature ORMs. If you're using Django it's super easy to use Postgres. If you're using Node you're out of luck. So for certain ecosystems MongoDB can be easier to work with due to the available libraries.

I personally much prefer Postgres though.
Yes, but not publicly.
I wonder how much of that is is lost wallets ect as it's very easy to have unrecoverable issues.
Jesus! Nicely done.
Another benefit of switching that framing is that it makes aggregation easier.

Panda Antivirus Pro 2017 Crack and Activation Key Is Here  [FULL LATEST]
Been looking at using B2 to back up a few systems including a remote server. I've gone through the docs and didn't find anything on this so figured I'd ask here since this post popped up with perfect timing!

Can you have multiple API "keys" set up for different buckets within one account? And can these keys be permissioned to constrain an API key to bucket(s), and to control the operations possible within that bucket?

My use-case here would be for the remote server to have a B2 API key available to it which only permits data to be added to the bucket. That way, if the server were ever compromised, an attacker couldn't tamper with or erase the backups.

I'd use another (more privileged) API key to do any maintenance of deleting from buckets as-and-when it was needed.

The reason for asking about having separate keys for buckets was purely for "isolation", so a laptop backup bucket API key wouldn't be able to do anything to the desktop bucket (and vice versa etc.)
Which model do you have?
I have heard (third hand) that WD has been pretty hands off with the HGST part of the business thus far. It remains to be seen just how long that state of affairs can last.

Because I want one service that has everything built in. Like CrashPlan backup app, or your computer backup app. I have mentioned this in my comment.

I understand the price difference but I want the ease, peace etc, not something where I need to hook two or few things together.
The Anxiety Epidemic
First ZFS don't need much RAM, you are fint with as little as 2GB.

You can still use hardware raid with ZFS if you export each disk as its own device and assemble the raid with ZFS. It is not the parity calculations that are slow, it is the additional io operations that are required and ZFS writes these directly to disk. A hardware raid controller writes these io operations to memory. Another advantage with ZFS is if your data compress well, you will get additional speed benefit from that.
VR also has a ton of non-game use cases. This is one of the biggest issues with VR marketing. But yes, as other commenters have mentioned, AR development still benefits from using a game engine (maybe rebranding 3D application framework would make it more palatable to "serious app developers") because you probably want do work with 3D models\rendering.
Try to BS your way to managerial position, and you will never have to write a single line of code.
Anybody gets these three things reset every time they open a page on an enabled youtube.com/new ?

1. dark theme ON (back to OFF)
2. auto play OFF (back to ON)
3. sidebar hidden (back to shown)

Also does anyone know of a way to get those settings to stick like they did on pre-new youtube?
I have an email specifically for account recovery and alerts on any changes to my other email accounts. All except the recovery email have two factor. The recovery email also has a max length password.
This reads akin to the logic behind a witch hunt - a bunch of people are very upset at a person, therefore the person must be a witch. I disagree with the premise.

The people are indisputibly angry. They may have reason to be angry. I don't see it, but they may have it. But the entire line that "he's accused, therefore he must be guilty" is flawed.

Even ignoring the general-principle common law complaints, Canada's general witchcraft^whacking statues should be more than enough to put someone at the dealership away for life. If the regime is similar to the US, then the victim should find a technical expert to bill $100k for analyzing the extent of damage, thus conjuring a felony.
Understood! Thank you for the additional color!
I have carte blanche for the first project I'm working on which involves "customer" premises devices I will not be able to connect to, to be deployed in unreachable places, interacting over flimsy connections of different types, so there are considerations on power consumption and data plans (scrounging for bytes and milliwatts).

What I lack in experience I make for in other ways: I daydream all the time about the ideal scenario regardless of skill, and write the code to make that happen ramping up the skill. Then I daydream all the time about the worst scenario to ruin the perfect scenario, and write the code to prevent that from happening.

After a daydreaming session, I have a bunch of behaviors to be exhibited by the code to deal with different triggers, where the absence of a trigger can be a trigger.

Murphy's law states that things that can go wrong will go wrong. There's another law that states: "Even things that can't go wrong, do". Having that mindset makes me think of a lot of actionable goals to make real, and potential bugs to kill in the egg.

A flyback diode and the dying gasp are some of the most beautiful things I've seen. Designing, whether in hardware or software, for power outages is a thing.

I also think about space probes all the time and I try hard not to fall into Nietzsche's "admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it."

It sucks to know of software that brushes off solar flares for 40+ years like it's nothing and have mine die because of unicode.

Not dying because of unicode is a measurable, actionable, goal.

The Impact of Copy&Paste on Android Application Security [pdf]
That's obviously facile. Information asymmetry is not just about information contained within the four corners of a contract, but also about information that is not.

A market participant who engages in a very small number of borrowing transactions over a lifetime by definition has less available information than a lending institution.

For what it's worth I have a degree in economics, and in my experience I almost invariably hear this sort of characterization of economic systems as simple and Newtonian from people who are generally unfamiliar with contemporary economic theory.

The economy is a complex adaptive system that has a penchant for reaching inefficient local maxima. Not every market clears. It's quite plausible that subprime lending is one such example, a theory that is also well contained within the general heading of "market economics".
I'm not sure that logrocket belongs on such a "security" checklist. While I understand the value that they propose to offer, I'm not sure that wholesale recording your users' sessions and then sending them to a third-party server for storage and retrieval really meshes with my idea of security - especially if the site contains PII. I fully understand that you can intentionally do work to hide that information from logrocket, but that is putting a lot of trust in both devs and in logrocket to get that one right.

While there may be such a tool, I'm not aware of something like this that runs as a first party script and uses local storage. It would indeed be very useful to escape the logs->screenshots->can't reproduce cycle mentioned.

I love Zachtronics games! One of the few complaints I have about them is, they stopped maintaining (actually retired from the AppStore) SpaceChren for iOS. I was happy enough playing the PC version but man it was a bummer. Shenzhen has been also one of my all time favs from them.

My only request for them is please learn the lesson and don't hack a C# game into iOS again! I understand the pain but supporting multiplatform games is hard: do it the right way or just don't ...
Agree with all the above. Definitely add github, plus make it the first link in your profile description (unless you have a more active blog).

One more thing I'd add: Tell a story. Even something like "I started developing for the Web because..." is much more compelling than "I develop for the Web". Narratives stick with people.
So, could this be used for an app game creator, to create an 'app arcade' for a collection of apps, using only the colored coins as 'app arcade' specific tokens?
My point is that the efficacy of a punishment as a deterrent isn't sufficient reason to instate that punishment. There needs to be proportionality between the offense and the punishment.

So, just because lifetime bans would be an effective deterrent doesn't mean that we should instate lifetime bans.
