> some children learn to read when they're 2, some when they're 8, and by the time they're 12 you can't tell the difference

I was sort of that late kid. I couldn't read a damn sentence by the time I got to 1st class. While probably half of the class could reading. But I learned to ready during the 1st year and never had any problems with that.

On the other hand, I did learn simple calculus yearly on my own. Didn't do virtually anything during 1st class maths. I got in trouble for that in 3rd? year when I (or my parents?) realised I was falling behind. I did catch up. But math is definitely giving me harder time than reading/writing. I wonder if that's precisely because I got lazy thanks to early start.

P.S. following card game is awesome for teaching kids calculus. No idea how it's called in English, but Google Translate should be good enough to understand the rules https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karuselė_(kortų_žaidimas)
My problem with GA has always been that when you get a new device, you have to have a manual process to transfer your setup to it. Yes it’s more secure. Yes it sucks. I recently switched to Authenticator Plus, which is commercial, because it has iCloud backup. The seeds are locally encrypted before they hit the server. To me this is an acceptable trade off for not being locked out of my accounts if I lose my phone (no, not everyone has sane backup methods and SMS isn’t secure). Does FreeOTP have this feature? I can’t tell.
Good advice, but the article adds nothing to the headline.
But they're meaningless--step out in front of a bus tomorrow and you will have proof!
Ha yeah. That's highschool level of knowledge, at least in my country.

it'll also be harder to learn how things work... i wonder how much we've learned from reverse engineering the easy to read inline script tags... I definitely remember teaching myself JavaScript by reading blizzard.com's late 90s markup... figuring out that mouse over effect with onmouseover and onmouseout... works in ie4... but whats that strange bug in netscape 4..
Police investigation? Parliamentary one? Alibis, inconsistencies in the story, etc.? People are cleared of alleged crimes/improprieties all the time.
Also true for Windows 10 Mobile. (My phone gets an update today, why doesn't yours?) Android is the only smart phone platform that carriers still have a say in.
While I don't disagree with your point, your argument is a poor one. "must have a minimum of ego" is a requirement for any productive endeavor. Software development is not a special case.

"is not built on top of personality traits" is parsing the complaint too literally. It's unquestionable that the personality traits of those in charge turn many people off from wanting to contribute.

Finally, the fact of success is very weak evidence that any particular personality trait involved was necessary to that success. It's a fallacy of the successful to believe that their path was the only one that could be successful, but at least they have reasons for believing that to be true. It's silly for observers to fall into the same trap of false logic.
Wasn't that a bug with other phones as well?
How to Avoid Survivorship Bias and Know What Consumers Want Next
For non-coders, import.io is great. However, they used to have a generous free plan that has since went away (you are limited to 500 records now). Still a great product, problem is they don't have a small plan (starts at $299/month and goes up to $9,999).
If you are scraping specific pages on a site, curl. Then transform that into the language you use.

It's more than UI changes: the update from iOS10 to 11 removed support for 32bit applications, rendering dozens of applications that I use daily (and have paid for a lot of money) unusable. So now I have to decide between two bad options - not being secure or losing all that invested money.

Did anyone even read that article? You have to scroll a lot to get a tiny fragment of text, so I gave up.

It must be depressing to be a BBC writer and then see your hard work shredded into tiny chunks.
I wonder if this will cause any changes to the existing adverts paying customers see. At the start of each episode they often play adverts for their other shows and devices. Ok it’s not an advert for toilet roll, but still, adverts are what I wanted to avoid by paying for TV.

Guess it depends, when I used to travel to the office every few months I was lucky enough that the train would terminate at my destination. So I could sleep in safety.

I've certainly observed commuters set alarms on their watches/mobiles based on their expected arrival times. I find that a little rude, but nobody else every seems to comment..
Seconded.

AntennaPod supports the two ways I want to add a podcast: search and by url. Haven't run into the problem of it not finding anything either (but if I did, I agree that it's not the app's fault).

Recommend it 100%.
It's not mentioned in the article, but one flaw is that it makes a 51% attack easier. If many miners switch to BCH then it takes one big mining pool to get above 51%. And then what?
For non developers dexi.io is great.
So, fell free to lock both JS and WebASM on it.
When I used it (until after their ad whitelisting came in), I found that they did a poor job of blocking obtrusive ads, then. Either that, or their standards for "unobtrusive" were low.

I switched to a better adblocker, so now I just whitelist sites whose ads I'm willing to see.
Their apprenticeship model could be replicated though. A lot of service economy or other non-outsourcable/exportable jobs could implement it. Even IT. The old StackOverflow was somewhat like apprenticeship actually. Learning from the masters, although not working together.
I have a prime subscription but I hardly use the video streaming service for this reason. It's just too crappy and user-unfriendly, especially on Linux. And like with all video streaming services the selection is not good enough to be my "go-to" provider to watch shows and movies.

So instead I keep torrenting everything I want to watch (using a RSS feed to download TV shows automatically) and I end up with better usability and a much better selection than legitimate services for zero kopeks. No DRM, no shows randomly made unavailable (or missing seasons) because of licensing shenanigans. No need to worry if it'll be compatible with $device.

I even torrent shows available on Amazon Prime Video because I can't be bothered to use their crappy webplayer instead of kodi. One day I'm sure we'll have a "spotify for video" and I'll subscribe to it. In the meantime I can't be bothered.
It's much worse: on every knob turn, modified value is written to EEPROM, and then real volume is set to value immediately read from EEPROM. So after some time volume control stopped working at all! (Audi Concert, Chorus)

no, not even a JSON datatype is now supported. I cannot use a database without JSON for my use case https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/2969
An compatible interface is not compatibility and JSON as an example is not the biggest magic stuff inside PostgreSQL.
OP here, happy to answer any questions.
None, it's a hardware problem.
Any source on Dirty Jobs dude and Google ban? Never heard about it.
Isn't the EngineerMode APK an MTK app? I have been involved in developing an Marshmallow MTK based phone in the past and in my experience their BSP's were pretty messy. I.e. a lot of cleaning up is necessary if you want a relatively quiet logcat and debugging APK's removed - even for user builds.

Edit: I must have remembered wrong or I saw the EngineerMode on the QComm device we developed before our MTK based device. The OnePlus seems to be a QComm device.. :)

Use an alarm on your phone in vibrate mode. After a while you won't need it.

The other trick is to keep your naps under 20 minutes. After 20 minutes you fall into a deep sleep, making it harder to wake up and leaving you feeling groggy after you do wake up.

Computers are for running code as much as cars are for consuming fuel. They both need them to function in the manner that we currently use them, but that's not what they are for.

Both computers and cars exist to perform tasks that enable humans to do other things. It's possible to have a useful car that does not consume fuel and it's possible to have a useful computer that runs no code (hint: hardware's not just for mounting those pretty lights in your computer case).
Earlier models were supposed to be robotic mules for military use.

This... was an unreadable experience. Gratuitous animations, football field sized paragraph widths, proportional/fluid CSS sizing (thought maximizing my browser on a 1080p screen would allow me to see more), bite sized paragraphs interspersed with information-thin graphic inserts, full width graphics that have a larger height than your browser viewport, text swooshing down the screen while you're scrolling because the above graphic is dynamically resizing.

I appreciate the desire to experiment with the medium, but it just does a disservice to the content.
Isn't it "code"?
I use OpenCamera on a oneplus X with lineageOS. The camera hardware is not great, and definitely far from the 2017 state of the art, but it works ok.
Would you still recommend Scrapy if the task wasn't specifically crawling?
I have a onePlus 3 (which anecdotally has been a lovely handset, just extremely fragile. And onePlus and their repair company have been entirely useless at communication...)

I also have the EngineerMode installed and it's also using data; "61.34mb since 1 Aug".

It's worth noting that the data usage (752kb since Nov 1st) says it also includes other apps, I've listed them below for reference as I've not seen anyone else mention this yet. There's certainly some interesting names.

It's worth always keeping this in mind, and not just taking extra worried people to the gp, but also giving unwarranted peace of mind to those who have a problem.

Even just having them get in a car and go to their GP, or increase their stress levels, have the potential to cause harm. It may be an exceedingly low risk, but applied to a large enough number of people and it starts adding up. When applied to conditions that not everyone has, this can easily tilt the balance.

Consider a hypothetical condition and a population of 1000000. If 1% has the condition at any one time, and the accuracy of the test is 97%, then 10,000 should have the condition. Of those we'd expect 9,700 to get the correct diagnosis; 300 would remain undiagnosed; But 3% of those who don't have the condition - an additional 29,700 - will be wrongly diagnosed.

Let's say this is a condition where 10% would die untreated without this new intervention, it'd be tempting to suggest we've saved 970 people. But early detection might not make that much of a difference - for many things the most severe cases will be noticed anyway and/or late detection is still sufficient to save the patient.

Let's assume for this hypothetical condition, earlier detection will save 10% more of those. In the above that'd save 97 people. Awesome. But lets say it causes 10% more of the undiagnosed ones to die because they wait longer. That's 3 more dead. So net 94?

But if only 0.33% of those wrongfully diagnosed end up dying as the result of the misdiagnosis, be it car crashes on the way to the GP, or the visit leading to a follow up error leading to an intervention that is generally but not always safe, then the wrongful diagnosis would kill 98 people.

I'm not saying that would be the case here. But it's an illustration of why it is important to consider not how many problems are detected, but what benefits early detection gives vs. the cost of wrongly diagnosing people, even when it seems benign enough (just another test, and they'll confirm it was a mistake?)

E.g. there's been pushback against large scale breast cancer screening for this very reason: They're very successful at finding cancer early, but most gets found eventually anyway, and the improvement in long term survival rates from the earlier detection is reasonably small.

Couple this with low overall rates of occurrence across the total population at any given point in time (cancer rates look high when considering "will X get cancer at some point in their life?", but most people will be free of cancer at any given single point in their life; even most people who have had cancer), and the impact of false positives and potential health implications of a (very small but still existent) risk involved in even something "simple" like a biopsy, and it's unclear if large scale screening is ethical (over general populations; screening of groups with sufficiently high risk factors is another matter entirely).
Vapor Ware is always a great example.
Sony's Aibo suggests otherwise.

The trick is to aim for stylistic rather than photorealistic.
Report from the SNAFUcatchers workshop on coping with complexity
Can someone with a longer attention span than me provide a summary? I didn't get far enough to glean what the "scam" is.
These release summaries KN publishes are awesome (and to be fair far from simple summaries!). I recall reading every one of them back in the days, only to learn about random stuff I've never heard about before. On the other hand, the ridiculous amount of "commit" links in the generated page... :-)
1. The cost of false positives is too high.
2. There is no incentive (yet) to not count fake accounts in "3 billion people use Facebook!". That's coming though, when ad prices fall.
It seems disingenuous, even sleazy, to submit this question and then answer it by plugging your own conferences (http://thebln.com/team/).

I got a very cheap huawei Y300 which stopped working recently.

I think I remember having this app, along with many other weird ones preinstalled.

Also, does anybody knows why some android phones have some "debug mode" when I plug them via USB? I mean if you think about it, that also sounds like a backdoor.
Any details on this anywhere, or is it not for public consumption? I'm just getting started in Python and want to do something with Gumtree and eBay as an idea to help me in a different sphere.
So we're both agreed then that the goal isn't to "use less code"? I get your point though, so I'll rephrase:

> The goal should be to try harder to use less code

Why is this the goal? At best it's a performance optimisation that some (probably most) sites could use to speed up time to render. But at the same time, there are many other sites where this doesn't make sense or for which the purpose isn't the traditional document based web that is sped up by removing JS. Why should sites that actually benefit from something like WebAssembly be limited just because other sites will use it and (continue to) be slow bug ridden monsters?
True, but...

Older hardware has older chips (and possibly slower memory) so... a larger size alone would still likely have an actual processing speed impact, no? The newer OS and app versions are developed with chip/memory speed "XYZ" in mind, and that's the target they aim for. That the OS does run on older hardware is great, but if your memory size goes up 2-3 times for apps, I can not imagine that there's 0 speed impact.

HaxeDevelop is a rebranded version of FlashDevelop. While it's built in .NET, apparently enough of it was built with Windows-only code that porting wasn't in the cards.

HaxeDevelop's best (IMHO) feature was that it could switch targets easily and integrated seamlessly with the Flash runtime's debugger. So you could build and debug quickly using the Flash runtime and then compile your project to native code for production.

But yeah, in a perfect world VSCode integration would be the way to go forward.

See my long response elsewhere. Depending on incidence rates and whether or not the effect of following up earlier is sufficiently large, there can - and sometimes is - a net detrimental effect to wrongfully diagnosing someone with a condition. Even when following up is relatively simple and risk free, and lives are saved by finding conditions early.

E.g. cause an extra million doctors visits due to wrongly diagnosing people, and the incident rate of e.g. extra infections transmitted from another patient, or compounded misdiagnosis leading to extra interventions which have some risk of failure, or even just accidents on the way to the doctors office, very quickly leads to extra harm just from the sheer volume.

That extra harm might be worth it, if the early diagnosis of others save enough lives - the same way seat belts kills some people but save far more. But it also might not, e.g. if the condition is rare enough, or early detection have little enough effect in improving outcomes.
While I doubt anywhere but the US or a military battlefield will get hundreds of bullet wound patients at once, it's quite possible to get dozens of patients in one go at any hospital. One memorable story I have been told is a tour bus that overturned on a tight hairpin mountain road. Most tour buses do not have seatbelts. The only hospital within reasonable driving distance got 40 elderly patients with head trauma, multiple broken bones, and exposure. Gunshot wounds are not the only Mass Casualty Incidents that can happen. Think about a riot at an Aussie Rules Football game, for instance...

The article doesn't go into detail about your two areas of concern but does mention two items: Infection control was mostly glove changes. Record keeping was on the triage tags from the MCI; cards are attached to patients and travel with the patient. Yes, both of these are a "bare minimum" effort and may not have been used, but when the priority becomes throughput of a system many features of a system can get dropped and picked up again after the crisis is over.

A much simpler way to look at the same argument is simply to describe Australia as a Chinese mining province. There's no shame in that -- my native Australia has only a bit more than half of the population of my current home, California.

The widely reported "104 quarters of growth" is indeed impressive but it's ironic that the achievement was breaking the record of the Netherlands -- who set their record through extractive industries (oil in their case). And in fact Australia suffers some of the "Dutch disease": a loss of other primary industries, like manufacturing, wage and property inflation, and a sectoral imbalance.

None of this means the sky is falling (or doesn't) -- the economy is flexible, and China's economy, being huge, has a lot of inertia. But people should be honest in how they characterize it.
If colleges concentrated on 'be able to write, read and communicate', 'understand basics of math, physics, chemistry, biology, finance and IT' there would be no one to pay salaries of professors/teachers/staff/leaches in women's studies, basket weaving, and african interpretive dance departments.

Edit: No amount of downvoting will change that taking a classes in african interpretive dace department that satisfy the "cultural enrichment criteria" needed to graduate is a waste of money. Money spent on fluff and money that will need to be paid back.
