Interesting. What I really admire is the work that went into it, like documenting how to construct a permalink, and hide various elements. Or use the JS console to disable the dynamic Monte Carlo length.
Correct.

A few people have landed with their wingsuits, but that's pretty rare. Look up Gary Connery or Jeb Corliss for example.

You are still going pretty fast, you need ideal terrain (angle, water or boxes), and a hundred things have to go perfectly fine. It's a pretty insane feast.

Has anyone watched the live entry of the US mirv's launched from one of our subs to the range of 4k miles? The warheads enter and hit the intended targets within 100m. US ICBMs eliminate guidance error using multiple methods, some of which require no outside signals. They are wicked accurate, without GPS or ground signals. I assume the Russians have the same. Ergo we are all fukered
I like this part (paraphrasing): "software is paradoxically information and machine"

Like a dark planetary body that invisibly perturbs the motion of an incandescent star, I suspect it's only by their influence on others who have fame that such people may be found, like the casual dedication on a park bench that turns out to be... unusual.
I'm a native English speaker and I have never met anyone who makes this distinction, after having spoken English with many thousands of people in my life.

Etymology doesn't determine meaning.

I'm open to the possibility that in 1950s England these words meant what you say (even though in my native dialect of English they don't), but to argue that you would need to give citations, not etymologies.

Now here we are doing yet another layer of unrealistic stuff utilizing these systems -- it's brutal.

EU- wise - who knows. On a global scale though remains to be seen who is going to be "left behind". Tourism-wise Budapest and Prague already look much more attractive than Paris or some places in Germany.

Yeah sane wasn't the best word for those hypomaniacs, but you got what I meant - they are not irrational tin foil hatters.

Why does that sound like a cop out? Economic decline, the U.S. erosion of the fundamentals of a quality life, overpopulation / too many dependents and not enough young workers, etc... those are all valid reasons to prepare.

As is preparing for car accidents, sudden layoffs, floods, and so on.

IMO the middle ground is to move!

I live in a place where other than a 3-4 days of average annual disruption due to snow, the only real natural disaster risks are associated by poorly engineered and maintained sewers backing up.

I find it bizarre that I've spent millions over the years providing disaster recovery and resiliency for relatively unimportant things, but the combo of a devastating hurricane in Texas and major earthquake in Northern California could essentially trigger a economic calamity.
You forgot your /s
A lot of highly experienced jumpers are also dying, probably due to a mix of complacency, envelope-pushing and the inherent lack of margin for error in terrain flight. This point is made in the latter part of the article:

> Figuring out why the best are dying confounds, saddens, and even irritates just about everyone I’ve spoken to in the wingsuit BASE world. “It’s really puzzling to me,” says Rich Webb. “I wish I knew, but I think it has to do with complacency.”

> Webb points out that many of the best are dying on flight lines that might be considered either “easy” for them, or they’re lines that they’ve done before. “It comes down to the fact that they're so comfortable in a stupidly high-risk environment,” says Webb. “We just don't have the luxury of margins in our sport, so at some point it catches up to you if you're not on it all the time.”

> Andy Lewis speculates, “I would say so many experienced wingsuiters are dying because they are trying to execute jumps with very low margin for error. Eventually when you make a mistake you hope you have room. And now low margins are so standard in the sport. It just kills people.”
- because they're going too fast when they hit the ground?

- because their sink rate is too high, and gets worse when they stall?

- because 3:1 is a lousy glide angle?

- because their wings are too small?
Unless a competent CEO comes along with a plan that is better than betting the companies existence on solving autonomous vehicles in the next two years they are going to run out of money either way.

If Uber wants to be a player in autonomous vehicles they have to become profitable enough to survive long enough to realize that goal. Kalanick's plan was always a pipe dream. Driverless cars just aren't going to be ready in time.
Under "Browsers" Tor browser is listed as an alternative to "You are the product".

I'd like to take a shot at a quick counter-argument:

1. Tor gets money by delivering a workable privacy overlay to organizations that fund it for such a purpose. The largest funder is the U.S. government.

2. To operate properly, Tor needs a relatively large anonymity pool.

3. The Tor service itself-- while still certainly useful (esp. its hidden services, even for purposes that don't require anonymity)-- doesn't generate a large enough anonymity pool.

4. Tor Browser Bundle adds to the anonymity pool by making the Tor service usable to a much wider audience of non-technical users.

5. To actually attract such users, Tor Browser Bundle must allow Javascript by default so that sites do not "appear broken" by non-technical users who don't understand the intricacies of a low latency privacy overlay.

6. The set of TBB users who view sites with Javascript on by default are subject to a wide variety of de-anonymization attacks which, while generally not trivial nor cheap, put them at greater risk than users who are not using Tor with a browser frontend.

7. Either the U.S. government funds Tor with the intent to use it with a browser frontend, or they fund it for use without a browser frontend. If they fund it in order to leverage the Tor service without needing the browser frontend, then congratulations! You-- the non-technical TBB user-- are the product.

What do you think?
you can rote-memory them if you don't care to understand them.

That's how I passed my General test, using a flashcard app. I studied the theory and practice as well, but for passing the test I just flat out memorized the answers.

The reason I don't do that with the Extra test is because there's a lot of that stuff I truly need to study up on, and I don't want to "pass" a test for material I have little clue about.

"Finally, not all programs need be fully automated - sometimes the middle ground between manual and automated is exactly what you want. For instance, a REPL is a great environment to run ad hoc queries to your database, or perform ad hoc data analysis, while leveraging all of the automated code you have already written for your project"

This is exactly why I love Python. My Django webapp gets features (DB reports, external API pushes, etc) added as the client's budget allows, and before they are I'll often do them manually. Given that the UI for a new feature is usually the most work, it's been working well.

So the process usually goes: REPL/Django shell -> Django management command -> End-user facing feature. I'll grab what I did the first time in the Django shell, and put it into model logic plus a tentative management command. Then the next time I have to do the task I'll make sure the command works properly. And then when the budget allows I'll add access via the UI.

Ninja edit: I forgot to mention that `import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()` is invaluable to get to the point in the HTTP response code where you can start adding new stuff or diagnose errors directly.
> was ignoring tax law

Most online/catalog companies don't collect sales tax and leave it up to buyers to pay usage tax [which is legal absent a physical nexus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quill_Corp._v._North_Dakota]. This remains the case. Amazon just got pressured into collecting because they're so big and have affiliate sales programs.
It occurs to me that 'complication' is a better engineering term. Next to 'complication', 'feature' seems like an unfortunate euphemism.

You can use practically any language for games or web servers; they are certainly not constrained to the ones you listed. Game engines are usually written in C++ but the logic usually isn't. Even more importantly, the reason they're written in C++ is because it's usually the best tool for the job, NOT because nothing else is available. Nothing prevents you from writing a game engine in Rust or JavaScript or assembly language or whatever you want. And on servers, anything really does go.

A Dozen Attributes of a Scalable Business
People are not "just swiped up". A grand jury is presented with base facts and asked to issue an indictment so that the suspects can be arrested. Without the issuance of a True Bill (indictment) the investigation must continue but no arrests can be made. Since they apparently received the indictment and warrants issued arrests were made. Now it goes to court where the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

If these people did nothing wrong they will have the opportunity to present their defense. But just an aside, these are not the only occurances where our law enforcement must wait for individuals to leave a non-extradition country in order to gain access to make an arrest. It happens with suspected drug dealers, murders, etc
It shouldn't be that confusing.

The mortality risk here is ridiculously high. No matter how good you are at something, you're not perfect. In any other sport, you can be a half-second late and have normal consequences, recover and be okay. In BASE, you're dead.
Thanks, this is awesome!! I'm totally going to be checking this out and saying hi/connecting at some point in the future (when I have a server etc).

Furthermore, there are plenty of sub-zombie-apocalypse situations for which you might again get back to something resembling normal life. Consider for example any of the genocides of the past century.

"It was made to aid in discussions about missile development, since the technical nature of honest-to-god 'rocket science' can make it rather impenetrable from the perspective of laymen, yet many of the fundamental questions are key to local understanding of geopolitical questions (e.g., 'could North Korea hit my city with their latest missile?')."

And in case you're curious, here are the latest figures I could dig up on N. Korea's launch capabilities. Caveat emptor!

Range: 10,000 km (Hwasong-14 aka KN-20 test successes indicate >6690km range, though the missile appears to break up on reentry)

Circular Error Probable: ? Poor. Could not hit a city, especially since it breaks up before hitting the target. The fine article says 2 km is what early Chinese ICBMs could achieve, so it makes sense as a starting point.

Yield: 7-8 kilotons according to seismic estimates.
Pretty much everything.

There's a landmine of bugs in even the best EDA software. I'd just like for the software to run nicely once, like TensorFlow... sigh.

I have a couple of friends, both white-water guides and accomplished outdoorsmen, and they both put whitewater in a different category of risk: you can do everything right, and still die just due to the unpredictability of it. One of them said he had an instructor who basically said "if you stick with this long enough, either you'll die or someone you know will". They were both in the latter category.
Sorry, but as a human who eats real cheese, its not very good.

French living in Japan here. I think the same happens in the US: they use "French" like a trademark to sell random shit. If you are going to buy a 5-10$ bottle, all that the "French" label will bring is an increase in price but not quality.

Chilean and Australian wines are what I drink here when I go for a cheap bottle. Still, I feel like they add some kind of preservative in wines here, even good ones. There is an aftertaste I dont get with wines (even cheap ones) in France.

But yes, complacency is also a factor. Wines are getting better everywhere and foreign wine compete favorably in the cheap range.

Now I am just hoping that one day they will compete in cheese and that I can buy some at the local supermarket without having a 5x multiplier because of the "french" label.

When did Tor Browser start enabling JS by default? It was blocked by noscript by default for me, when I started using it years ago, and that was still the case the last time I installed a new workstation OS, earlier this year.

I use TBB for about 20% of my browsing, a habit that I cultivated while traveling and working overseas. Now, with all the crazy identity politics going on at the major data companies, I think that anonymity is becoming much more important for the general public.

Thank you for playing devil's advocate. The fact that the project is funded by the US govt is certainly concerning, no doubt about that. I can only hope that their motive is just to enable their own agents to operate online without being identified, profiled and social-graphed by the private sector.

I can understand why you're torn, but - speaking here as someone who owns such a watch - people vastly overestimate the Veblen status potential of expensive watches, which is unfortunate because that can lead them to be quick to judge their owners. I have met wealthy people in the sort of industries you might typically associate with this kind of pedigreed excess (Wall St, Big Law), and those folks don't appear to recognize what I'm wearing at all. Often they're wearing smart watches these days.

The truth is that extremely expensive watches are a poor form of wealth signaling unless they're loud (think of a Hublot encrusted with diamonds, or something extremely iconic like a Rolex). If you walk into nearly any room wearing a Patek, Lange, Vacheron, etc. I can virtually guarantee that your watch will simply go unnoticed.

I actually like Rolex watches quite a lot for the real engineering work that goes into manufacturing them, but I don't own one specifically because I'd rather not broadcast an expensive item on my wrist. I consider watches like these to be a form of art that emerges from the idea of practicality but also frees itself from it (as do most collectors I've personally spoken to).
Why is that a good thing? There's network effects to package managers. Using one of the common ones is beneficial.
> This is a good point, and the fact that advertisers don't allow it is evidence that they're doing something immoral.

I don't think it's that deep. The advertiser, the ad buyer (some digital agency), the ad deliverer (some exchange or third-party network) and the publisher (the site where the ad was displayed) are all distinct entities with budgets fired up and ready to go at that specific moment.

The advertiser would surely love for you to search for their ad again (and again, and again). The buyer wouldn't mind, if only to show that their placement has increased reach. But the deliverer or the publisher won't see any additional revenues off of this, therefore there's zero incentive for them to support it.

I work on TypeScript at Google, so just one point about scaling. Ultimately the only way to make things scale to large codebases is to make separate compilation work. That's what we do: separately compile separate pieces of the codebase. Even if A depends on B, we only recompile A if the API shape of B changes. Our incremental compilations while editing code are generally in <1s range, and our codebase is much larger than VSCode.

I used to be a big fan/user of OCaml and though I haven't looked at BuckleScript in particular it sounds like a cool project. I think one con you overlook is that OCaml syntax/ecosystem is pretty hard on newcomers, though maybe Reason helps there. (And also my OCaml experience is years out of date so I'm sure it has improved since then.)
The main competitors in the FP reactive frontend space are Elm and ClojureScript I think. Those have significant mindshare and users and good tooling.
Had an experience like this while surfing, years ago. I trusted a friend and went out surfing when it was double overhead. Had no business doing that, being a fumbling idiot on a board but trusted him.

There is no reason to reply. The emails state as such. A contact email is included. I literally do not care about anyone who thinks they can reply to these emails and I'm not concerned about user hostility.

My users aren't the kind of users that will respond to such emails.

Again, I don't see a reason to why I need to reply to emails which are explicitly only ever sent if the user chooses to at which point they have been warned about noreply and the emails themselves reinclude such warnings with the proper contact email, especially since this group of users are knowledgeable enough to not reply in the first place.
