This is correct. By sticking to pure Win32 controls it allows screen readers to do their job properly. While making your own controls or using third party UI libraries will give you a nicer looking UI it makes the screen readers job much harder if not impossible.
I actually wasn't making an assumption, I was talking from my own experiences. Myself and my friends did learn about event-driven programming prior to university.

We were taught both Visual Basic and Pascal and taught the difference between event driven (VB) and procedural (Pascal). Though weirdly we were never taught about OOP, but it was a fairly average UK college and a pretty general computing course so there was a lot to cover in 2 years.

Outdoor varieties do grow that tall, or more. Indicas and modern hybrids tend more towards about 5 feet, but it all depends on training, pruning, whether you use clones (every serious grower uses clones, not flowering a single plant grown from seed).

The seeds in your crop only happen if you have male plants, or a problem with hermaphrodites. Most people cull the males or use female clones. If you have a female plant, it only produces female flowers. Triggering flowering is quite simple as it only requires manipulation of photoperiod.

Growing cannabis is really not that complicated… mot only has hemp been domesticated for thousands of years, but herbal varieties have been bred like heck for decades to be easier to grow and productive especially grown indoors. Fertilizer wise, it is a lot like tomatoes, loving rich soil, drainage and nitrogen, and then switching to a bloom cycle. Overall it's a very hearty and resilient plant (weed?). It's true that doing it well takes time, money, facilities and skill, and ideally passion.

For the small, self-contained unit you described, it soubds like what people call a cabinet grow. I think there's a subreddit for that. The subterfuge aspect is less important these days, now that more people live in states where it is legal, but some still do cabinet grows for space or privacy reasons. The automatic aspect is a great idea... definitely there are vast opportunities in helping people grow their own healthy herbs.

It speaks to the trends of the day that an article which says something patently obvious to people in the tech field is considered news.

This reality seems like it may pose a problem though, as some people's business models and valuations depend on this article being wrong.

The thing is, we don't need full level 5 to get useful stuff out of this line of tech development. But in terms of the futurist vision of driverless cars everywhere, fleets of cars replacing private ownership, etc -- hard to see that happening. If the tech takes more than 10 years to develop, it's very likely something else will develop in the meantime which will essentially invalidate all of those earlier visions, as the world will have gone in a different direction in the meantime.

There are no good technical reasons why trains are not automated more often. The technology is there, many trains do in fact run autonomously. It's just unpopular for long distance trains because current systems don't do obstacle detection and its hard to secure long distance tracks against obstacles. But for high speed trains at least there is no point in trying to visually recognize obstacles: if you see an obstacle it's already too late to brake meaningfully.

Maybe I'm ignorant (very likely) but I've never understood the difference between full autonomous driving and a fully intelligent AI.

If a car can drive in any environment and react to any circumstances surely said AI could also do anything else, no?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses everyone. Though, to clarify, when I think of "full autonomous" driving, I'm thinking of a car that can go from A to B regardless of the context. Meaning, if some of it is offroad it'll handle that, if there's traffic that'll be handled. If there's something wrong with itself, aka the car, it'll be introspective and call for assistance, sending its location, etc. Not just following marks on a road and pulling over and giving up if it can't get there.

Also, I do not think a "fully intelligent AI" can necessarily solve any problem, but is capable of learning such that it could. I the purposes of a discussion I'd equate it to maybe a 5 year old.
Very nice, I've been wondering when someone would implement some Clojure-like data structures in C++. I will be playing with this next weekend.
People are joining because Tesla is scaring them into it. Musk is a dumbass, but his idea self-driving is happening now may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Consumers LOVE it. So even having some level of driving assistance will win you more customers.
People are jumping in because they get attention and money for doing so (and because lots of non-experts who tend to be the money-distributors believe the hype) including government grants. The real threat is not that the hype will waste private investors' money (although it is) but that it will draw government funds away from transit projects that would be a far better investment.

Maybe this is where regional differences come out as most students in the UK have had some programming lessons before starting uni (albeit they often haven't done any recreational programming).

That was my observations at the time anyway. Things may have changed and/or I might have introduced selection bias by hanging around with the nerdier kids. Who knows - too late to find out now.

30,000 people in the USA alone are killed each year because of human driving error. Humans are not getting any better at driving. Car safety mechanisms have reduced road death rates significantly in the last 50 years, but still - 30,000 deaths/year in the USA alone due to human driver error.

Cars will be automated because cars have to be automated.
I am a novice in this area, so forgive me if I am missing something, but I have some questions regarding the two approaches in the article, specifically if there is a performance trade-off being made between them.

To my untrained eye, the initial version seems to be doing a minimal set of updates based on the input it receives, whereas the latter version will call the monolithic render procedure no matter how small a change is made to the state.

Does each of the sub-procedures in renderTodo! check internally if the state actually changed (by keeping a copy of the previous state?), or do they just unconditionally re-render the entire UI? If the latter is true, then doesn't this supposedly better way of structuring code come with a large performance penalty? Or is it simply the case that this penalty is outweighed by the added test-ability and improved consistency of the state?

I believe that React and similar frameworks run a diffing procedure to find out which parts of the UI actually need to be updated (so a more minimal set of updates is actually applied). In the first version, however, it seems like the same diff occurred naturally as part of the code's structure - only a subset of the render* functions are called - and therefore the diff does not need to be computed at run-time.

Is this something worth being concerned about, or is letting the framework compute the diff on every state change not that big of a deal?
TL;DR: Intel put a special High Assurance Platform (HAP) mode in ME for the US government. If toggled on, it disables all non-critical ME functionality. Questioned, Intel responded:

> In response to requests from customers with specialized requirements we sometimes explore the modification or disabling of certain features. In this case, the modifications were made at the request of equipment manufacturers in support of their customer’s evaluation of the US government’s “High Assurance Platform” program. These modifications underwent a limited validation cycle and are not an officially supported configuration.

Atlanta, Fargo, You're the Worst, Bojack Horseman, Rick and Morty, Kimmy Schmidt, Hannibal, Review, Twin Peaks (The Return), Stranger Things, The Good Place, Santa Clarita.... and probably three dozen other ongoing or started-after-2010-but-now-finished shows I'm forgetting right now that are excellent, by the standards of all TV before 2010. Many others are top-5%-of-TV-series-ever material but kinda skippable now because there's just so damn much excellent TV. I've dropped ongoing shows that are merely very very good because I can do that and still have more TV left than I can watch.

Right now is the best TV's been. It's frustratingly good, almost, because I know there are lots of good things I'm not watching simply because there's no time (I do other stuff too, ya know?).
> One thing I would love someone to explain is how can people assume cars are going to be automated soon when both planes and trains haven't been automated for various reasons.

Planes are mostly automated, except for liftoff and landing. They can probably automate those too ... but there's no point. You'll still need a pilot. Would you get into a plane flown entirely by computer with no pilot available to take over?

Trains are entirely automated. At least, the ones where there isn't a union enforcing some form of employment. I've been on a number of trains in airports that don't have any kind of operator.
... I am kind of embarrassed to admit I know neither of these. I know NetSurf by name, but that's about all I know about it. Maybe I should give them a try. ;-)

As for C++, all of the "major" browsers are written in C++, and as a mere user, I don't feel as strongly about it. ;-) As for the single-process model, I don't mind - without Javascript or other plugins, the drawback is much less noticeable. I just wish it had proper session managment.

The price of a plane/train is astronomical compared to what you have to pay for a pilot. I mean, you could literally buy a pilot for a millenia for the price of a jetliner (100M$ for jetliner / 100k$/year for pilot). There just isn't a very large economical incentive to automate that job out.

Where is the suggestion that Intel ME isn't a backdoor? The article states:

> In this article, we describe how we discovered this undocumented mode and how it is connected with the U.S. government's High Assurance Platform (HAP) program.

> Googling did not take long. The second search result said that the name belongs to a trusted platform program linked to the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).

>We believe that this mechanism is designed to meet a typical requirement of government agencies, which want to reduce the possibility of side-channel leaks. But the main question remains: how does HAP affect Boot Guard? Due to the closed nature of this technology, it is not possible to answer this question yet, but we hope to do so soon.

You work your way up to it. Open up a podcast app and start listening at 1.5x. After a while (days to weeks), that becomes comfortable. Then work your way up to 2.0x. Once you're at that point, listening to familiar shows (familiar people/voices), at 1.0x makes them sound drunk. They seem. to. speak. so. slooow.

Some podcasts I listen at 3x which feels near my limit of comfort (comprehension drops off at speeds higher than that), but I suspect nearly any normal person can get used to 2x speed. When you are, you can absorb twice as much information in the same amount of time.

(The above applies to talk type podcasts. Music is best at 1x, and dramatizations and such are often best left at 1x to get correct pacing).
They don't mention dependent types at all which is unfortunate. IMO, it's the most promising subfield of logic now.

Consider the proportion of the cost of an Uber ride that goes to the driver compared with the proportion of the cost of an airplane ticket that goes to the pilot. A driverless car has the potential to be much cheaper, but a pilotless plane would not be much different. Many new train systems are automated. The cost of retrofitting older systems is just too great.

The other key difference is that the 1990s startups were for the most part aiming to take advantage of a novel form of distribution rather than a novel means of fundraising.

Even though many of the nineties startups lacked the skill or timing to execute it, the advantage of replacing catalogues or human agents already using computerised reservations systems with an always-available, easily-updated website was huge, obvious and real as was the size of the future online advertising market. So there was every reason to believe that some internet companies would eventually become huge. By contrast, many ICO startups boast no tangible advantage or difference over the existing congested and conventional markets they purport to serve except for a novel funding method which allows their investors to trade any oversight or traditional legal recourse against the company for a theoretically liquid market to dump the "coins" in if the founders don't even attempt to deliver...

With this sort of model in mind, both you and person you are replying to can both be correct in that it is possible that social media is sub-optimal compared to some alternative that delivers some combination of increased immediate happiness and/or increased probability/reliability/sustainability of future happiness.

nope. Because they're not building something that has decision making or consciousness. What they're building is a very complicated and nuanced math equation, that reads along the lines of: when a camera sees a line of X whiteness at Y distance, and we are travelling at speed Z, in this geographic region, turn the wheel left E percent. What these companies are doing is trying to calibrate such an equation so well, that it can successfully navigate roads on its own.
With regards to airplanes, you have several issues. The main one being that airplanes are not equipped with sensors capable of detecting other aircraft nearby. Without a complete picture of the airspace to a very significant distance a fully autonomous aircraft isn't possible. Today that is managed by the air traffic control system which is entirely run by people communicating with other people. That said, aircraft are capable of fully autonomous landings - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland.
