Defo, my Mum's partner had an Atari ST with cubase etc. and a couple of keyboards and he used to have fun and make music. Ever since he bought his first PC, he has made no music whatsoever, he spends his time in the Internet wormhole and optimising his hard drive (no kidding). Very easy to focus on your tool set and not actually use them.

>> if all we had was machine code, and that code had a complete description of the machine which could run it and how to create it

That's a reasonable analogy but it's not what the original poster said.
The point is: there's no guarantees it will be delayed by just a few months. But besides, even if they had hit all of their targets, they might just succeed, if they really pushed it, to make as many as Toyota managed to sell of _one_ Prius model (the liftback) last year, in Japan alone.

If it's only a few hours, sure, not a big difference. But when I fly Melbourne-London, premium economy is a difference between being a zombie for the next 48h, or arriving just tired. How much is the day after travel worth for you?
This site doesn't seem terribly useful -- looks like they're mostly looking for shiny things; pretty buttons, nice on-boarding flows, fancy modals etc.

What I would like is a nice in-depth analysis of the UX in highly complex applications -- does anybody know of a book or site that de-constructs web apps (and/or mobile apps) that aim to replace desktop software? Thinking about document management, hierarchical and context-aware menus, best-practices for editing stuff on a canvas (including alternatives for right-click menus).

Too often we just replicate what we would have done on a desktop, in the constraints of HTML, but usually that leads to poor UX (or at least sub-optimal).

Any suggestions appreciated...

After-thought: Does the 4th Edition of About Face go in to any of this? Back in the early 00's, v2 of that book was an enlightening read, but I haven't picked up the newer versions.
Can you require both face and password?
Another thing is that an attacker only gets a few chances to use the face unlock before the phone requires a pin. How many tries did it take them while having to re-enable FaceId after locking the phone? IMO, it's only 'broken' if they can get the face right the first time without causing the phone to lock itself.
New mechanisms discovered that bacteria use to protect them from antibiotics
>> For spies, spooks, government agents etc. I suspect that Face ID would always be a no-no

You are correct. Face recognition, like any other biometric, is a bit of a farce. The face doesn't unlock the phone. The face is read by software which then generates some string of numbers, essentially a hash of the face/print, than then unlocks the phone. That hashing process can be hacked/intercepted/replicated just as with any other password. Biometrics is a convenience feature, not security device. But the real reason that biometrics aren't used in highly secure environments it the difficulty of repudiation. If/when a break-in does occur, how exactly does everyone reset their faces? It's like asking everyone to reset their passwords and everyone then using the same passwords. What you have to do is install a new hashing regime and rescan everyone's faces.

The best system, the one that is used most everywhere, is three-factor: (1) A card you carry/scan. (2) A password/code you enter into a pad. (3) An old man behind glass, usually a retired soldier, who has been in the job for years and knows everyone in the building. That old man can recognize people better than any biometric scanner.

Job postings on job boards, or talking with real people from real companies asking for and ready to pay for the skill? The perception of what is needed could be skewed by someone investing more in postings, recruitment spam is notorious as well.
> Are passwords/double authentication the only way to keep things private and secure these days

That's always been the case. The main promise of biometric security was not "better security", but better convenience. The best argument for it would be that it makes average security better, in the sense that more people use it than not use anything at all or re-using passwords, but it's not the best way to secure your devices.

Password manager + U2F token is the most secure way to lock your accounts.

I think this is a big case of cognitive bias (and get-off-my-lawn-ism ;) ).
It's only a small step for you between using a text-based Linux and coding because you've already taken the huge frontload of internalizing the mountains of cognitive load and neccessary, but ungeneralizable knowledge that bash, vim & co. bring with them.
They are mix types then.

Most businesses have broken websites. I like to show this to whoever wants to break into IT and thinks there's too many clever people already working on it :)

Yesterday a friend ordered a sofa from a well known online retailer in the UK, then chose to finance it 12 months 0% APR. The retailer site sent him to a very well known bank's website, pre-filing part of the finance form with things they had already like forename and surname. Except he's Spanish and the site wrote his middle name and both surnames in the non-editable surname field.

Once he finishes filing the form with all the addresses he lived in the last 3 years he clicks on "continue" and is greeted with a "surname is in the wrong format" message.

Remember, that filed is non-editable and it's pre-filled by the retailer's website; so he effectively can't do nothing at all about it.

Conclusions?

1) This is living proof that diversity is a business advantage (they lost at least one £1200 sale).

2) The Internet is stupidly broken.

3) People working in IT is as clever or as stupid as anyone else.

Junior and Senior can mean different things in different companies. One company’s senior is another’s junior and vice versa. IMO go ahead and apply for senior roles and junior roles and learn more about what skills they are really looking for during the interview process, don’t worry about the label.
I wish both companies would allow us to have both PIN/PASS + biometric together and not strictly separately as it is now. At least as an option.
How do you then decide who gets paid to make content?
GTD is the utopia of productivity. Everyone attempts to reach it but almost no one (if any) ever will. Those who get the closest realize that you can't live your life like that.

In my world GTD become a goal in itself rather than a way to better manage your life.

With a few exception (calendar) I lived my life in a way that would make a GTD enthusiast cringe.

I am always impressed by those who attempt to do it but never surprised when they finally give up.
When I'm seated next to a window and the middle seat is vacant (rare), travel in coach becomes much more bearable. Do airlines allow a passenger traveling alone to purchase two adjacent seats? Probably not, but it would be an interesting social experiment to do this and observe how passengers and crew respond during boarding.

Sure they don't want to release a chip using the draft.
You're already losing the allocated seat and maybe even the booked class if that happens. I don't think a seat would matter in this case.
I was hoping they released more details about the process. One possible method is that they trained the iphone's Face ID on the mask by repeatedly failing to unlock it with the mask and then entering the passcode which trains the iphone's neural net on the new face (mask in this case). There was a video a few days ago where the iphone X was unlocked by a man's brother by doing this : https://9to5mac.com/2017/11/04/face-id-siblings-fail/ .

This was posted 2 days ago, any statement from apple on this story?
Fingerprint or face or retina is not a "password", it is a "login". And we should have a proper password in addition to the login, not as a substitute.

It would make a lot of sense for the new iphone actually, since with the PIN you're usually already looking at the screen.
Sounds exactly like 'How to get what you want' by Raymond Hull, 1967. Just that the system was reversed.
This is nonsense. You can be critical of libertarianism but this is not a “reason that libertarianism doesn’t prevail”. You can easily find reviews online - airline x has bad service, airline y has small seats, etc. and then make a choice whether to fly on the airline. And to be frank, right now the airlines suck pretty hardcore (and airports too) because they are regulated (TSA anyone?).

I’m all for critiquing politics ideologies, I’m a social democrat and I think it’s valuable to find flaws and improve them, but this is a very silly “critique” of libertarianism that just doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny.

The rider network is somewhat global. In any larger city, Uber could probably sustain a minimum viable driver network just from international visitors. This does have value.

But this value is also impossible to defend against the combination of more local networks aggregated by some global directory specialist who follows a low cost/low commission/high volume strategy.
I respect the authors of celery and think they've done a good job of making RabbitMQ a bit more accessible over the years. I don't think celery's just for novice users, there are a lot of devs out there who don't really need to invest in learning about their message brokers (short lived projects and non-essential parts of the larger system can easily use celery without needing to worry about it). That said, I really do agree with you on other points.

We ditched celery after many years of use in favor of just connecting to RabbitMQ ourselves. Over the last few years, it's saved a massive amount of time and effort and has made debugging and tracing issues so much easier it's rediculous.

I don't think many long term celery users really appreciate how much time is getting wasted. I understand how it may look like being able to ignore the underlying technology is a time saver, but that time easily gets blown away the second something doesn't behave as it should (and having gone through many of these problems, they're not exactly uncommon).

For anyone curious how much effort it took to write our own consumer/publisher, both are less that 200 lines of code and can be arguably cut down further without losing much (the author liked whitespace etc). Both were written in less than 2 days, including learning time, and are reusable enough to use in other projects.

Hmm. I read somewhere that if FaceID doesn’t work and you use the PIN, it adds the face to the dataset. Is it possible they just slowly worked the mask into the dataset?

Well that was already the case for fingerprints, so, nothing new there. Matter of time before a 3D representation of your face becomes mandatory in biometric IDs / passports too.
Which is absolutely awesome since it goes very fast to go through the checks.
> if you can think and communicate precisely enough to describe your ideas then you can enter them into a computer fairly easily in a language like python or basic

Try "thinking and communicating clearly and precisely" the process of multiplying two numbers larger than one thousand, in Roman numerals.

For me, it was very difficult if I didn't cheat and implicitly convert everything in my head to normal (Hindu) numerals first.

Now, try to do the same thing with Babylonian numerals (base-60).

(I tried and gave up)

What I'm trying to illustrate is that the tool you use to express an idea, imposes a hard limit on how "clearly and precisely" you can think about that idea in the first place.

Hindu numerals are one tool (one notation) that make processes such as multiplication and division easy to express. If such tool wasn't invented, we'd be spending too much time 'thinking' and 'expressing' and 'teaching' multiplication, and be left with too little time to actually benefit from it.

I get the dystopian flavour of surveillance in general society -- but I don't really get why it's specifically dystopian that you are recorded by a camera while you stand in line to hand over your government issued photo ID to a government agent with pretty broad discretion to make your day pretty awful.

I'm pretty sure those cameras at Gatwick are supposed to track how long the waiting time is, not to "surveil" you in any meaningful sense.
JavaScript is subject to CORS, but "opener" isn't generally, except in Edge.

Your article is from 2016, while I was walking about 2015. This is pretty important since the events from sylvester 2015 were an important changing point. But please let's do not discuss single articles, it is more about the general sentiment the media wanted to convey. E.g. the infamous "Dunkeldeutschland".

Since you mention the left Die Zeit: it's chief editor criticized the media for its news coverage during that time: http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/medien/bilanz-der-beri.... There have also been studies about the role of the media in 2015: http://www.zeit.de/2017/30/fluechtlinge-medien-berichterstat....

Biometrics are usernames not passwords

That such a meaningless slogan. Passwords and biometrics have different pros and cons, but they are the same in that they increase security.

Biometrics should never be used on the sole authentication method

* Biometrics is always better than no security.

* Biometrics done well is certainly better than a 4-digit PIN.

* Biometrics on an iDevice is in fact always used with something else, which is device itself: Touch/FaceID on an iPhone can only be used to access that particular iPhone. Ie. if you manage to steal my fingerprint, you can only use it to access the devices that I have set up to use my fingerprint. This means that my fingerprint alone is not of any value, unless you can also gain physical access to my phone. Compare this with a password which, if stolen, allows attackers on the other side of the globe to access to my accounts.
Would be good if there was a way to switch off internet access to apps in iOS.
I stand corrected. I wrongly believed that many of these including Fejer and von Neumann were not Jewish.

I think the comparison with other populations such as Poland still seems to point out that something about Hungary in the 20th century was special, other than the presence of many Jewish people.

Why Ageism Never Gets Old – The New Yorker
It is discussed in the book. You should just read the book if you want to consider this seriously.

If you're just looking for a summary: there is very little point writing things in a list if you don't read the list, obvs.

The key to GTD is that if you actually do write everything in lists and calendars, then you are freed from having to remember things. If you can reach that inflection point, then it frees up a lot of mental capacity and is glorious. Remembering things is surprisingly mentally draining, as it basically consists of thinking about them every now and then.

Read the book.
Russia (Soviet Union actually) had somewhat similar mail in programs that IMO we're very useful to stimulate those with high interest in specific fields beyond what a school would do.

IMO stimulating and developing top end is something sorely missing in US education, which is mostly focusing on helping those behind to catch up. That is useful, but pushing 1-2% of best students as far as possible is just as important for the society long term. My 2c.
With recent investments in both Lyft and Uber, it will be interesting to see how Lyft executes on it's international expansion.

> Kristine Hubbard, Beck Taxi’s operations manager, expects Lyft’s entry to worsen Toronto gridlock. “It’s another reason to encourage cars to cruise the streets of our city — many of them who come from outside it — who otherwise wouldn’t be there.”

This is the correct answer.

The NSA doesn't spy on Americans.

If you look at the Snowden leaks, it talks of filters limiting access to collected data to foreign nationals and people contacting foreign nationals only, as per laws allowed under the US constitution.

Why would a TOP SECRET program have these filters if their operations were illegal?

Everything the NSA does is legal. It's now up to the public to accept that fact.
Of course you can. The good old {-# LANGUAGE OverlappingInstances #-}.
Doesn't sound like they took that approach:

> However, we knew about this "learning", thus, to give a more persuasive result, we applied the strict rule of "absolutely no passcode" when crafting the mask.
CORS is only for http requests.

The same origin policy for DOM access allows setting the location.href attribute (getting any attribute is still disallowed).
Setting location.href also works with frames in both ways, e.g. frame.location.href as well as parent.locaton.href and top.location.href

No offense, but this sounds a lot like "I can't be bothered to learn about the tech but I want to put it on my CV anyway".

The "95%" of use cases probably don't need a message broker at all. Far too many "modern webapp" developers are shoving message brokers into websites so they can pretend to be more important and sophisticated than they are. If you're not even willing to learn how to connect to RabbitMQ, or any broker, without a big giant messy crutch, I'd suggest you shouldn't use them at all.
It's not about libertarianism, it's about a race to the bottom and apparently, there's more than enough people willing to sit in smaller seats if it saves them a few bucks.

JSON should only really be used in a machine-to-machine context i.e. for serialization. If you want something that's easily editable with a text-editor then use YAML. XML is horrible for hand-editing, but is easier to read than either YAML or JSON and is super flexible, and has heaps of support in terms of tooling and libraries, and is well understood, so it's great for information interchange. Issues around verbosity aren't a huge issue for machines and again this verbosity is actually helpful when doing data-integration. Concerns about wasting space are spurious since any redundancy in data can easily be done away with with some basic data compression, and as somebody else mentioned, xpath is actually pretty good, and makes the verbosity actually a net positive for certain applications.
They probably do actually, the larger overweight people don't fit in a single seat.
A few might move, but most wont. Despite no income tax property taxes are really high in NH. The state is getting its money somewhere.

Plus the advantages of living close to where you need to be when traffic can be just terrible. I worked in an office in Bedford which moved north to Woburn MA half way between the Mass and NH borders. All of a sudden living in NH was an option. I think a lot of people considered it and like 2 moved, one had family up there and one was kinda a libertarian.

Its worth noting NH bid to amazon points out the close proximity to Boston for food, schools and theater. It close then you factor in traffic...

I got a lot of emails regarding Shakti's positioning. As can be seen from our webpage, specific cores have been positioned to offer alternative to commercial cores including ARM's cores. Whether ARM gets affected by this or not is not for me to say. But to conclude that SHAKTI and the RISC-V eco-system in general could affect ARM significantly is not an unreasonable conclusion.So the reporter is well within the realm of reason to arrive at the conclusion he did. I am just making a distinction between causal reactions and intent !
