So we should be just as complacent about radioactive waste, as about lead poisoning, because lead poisoning is (ostensibly) worse? Is that the general idea?

I thought the article too quickly dismissed the skull-and-crossbones. Sure, it has been trivialized, but if you came across a door with a skull-based symbol on it, I would guess you would give that more thought than an abstract shape that you did not recognize, and words in a language you do not know. My guess is that skulls and skeletons will hold up better as warnings than abstract shapes, in which case the desire for a meaningless and abstract shape was counter-productive.

Similarly, the symmetry criterion strikes me as unnecessary, as people are good at recognizing shapes regardless of orientation, especially when the shapes are figurative.

On the other hand (literally), the corrosive substance symbols (not shown in this article - [1]) are figurative, asymmetric and, IMHO, pretty clear.

The one other figurative symbol in this collection is the postal one with a snake, but it could be mistaken for a caduceus as long as that symbol is known. There is also the possibility that we might drive snakes to extinction.

There is a need for distinct symbols for different types of danger, but perhaps they should all include a skulls-or-skeleton generic danger motif.

I wonder how long it'll be until this technique becomes feasible for recording professionally? Like, instead of capsules and diaphragms, we just have a laser that gets the cleanest, clearest possible signal it can, from the room around you ..
They’re not even close to the same thing though. ARC gives deterministic performance rather than GC’s effectively random pauses.

Compare a UI framework that uses garbage collection on the hot path to one that uses ARC, it’s night and day when it comes to smooth animations and responsiveness.

As a minor nitpick it bugs me a lot that there are no truly anonymous functions. You either have to use a lambda which is limited to expressions, or name a function and use it as a first class object. Every other language in the same domain has this feature.

Alt+<number>, command is Emacs / readline etc for "Repeat this command number times".

The number doesn't have to be a single digit, so Alt-3, Alt-6, Backspace, or Alt-3, Alt-6, Ctrl-H also work (delete 36 characters.)

(Your command would normally be described is Alt-9, Alt-Backspace; or M-9 M-Backspace; to show the Alt/"Meta" key is held for both strokes.)
This reminds me of the culture around Hatsune Miku.

That’s not much different than managing multiple JVMs and classpaths: 1-2 lines of code and you never think about it until you do a major upgrade.

If you need to use Python again, look at pipenv – it automates all of that for you down to one command, similar to e.g. Rust’s cargo:

I sat outside an ICU once. At a not-first-rate US hospital. The handle-pull door was plastered with signs, variously saying "use hand sanitizer before opening door". It was right next to the door. It worked. There wasn't an alternative one inside. That it wasn't used by the traffic back and forth to the adjacent bathroom, seemed odd. The nurse who also flushed (hand lever), without associated sink noise, was a bit boggling. The error induced mortality which occurred shortly thereafter, did not entirely surprise.
The biggest issue is that consumers don’t read privacy policies or user agreements. If a company gets a user to waive their privacy, their data can and will be traded on the secondary market. It’s just simple economics.

I think most people who reside in the US would be shocked if they knew how much PII is traded about them. Very few people these days don’t have a personal record. Knowing what’s out there, I wish I lived in the EU.
That has been true for a few years, sadly.
S1mOne (sp?) is a movie about that. But there will always be TMZ and gossip, they don't rely on celebrities to exist they rely on juicy stories involving anyone.
I used to have a command “vi” in eshell that basically ran find-file. It took some getting used to using Emacs keys after invoking a command vi, but it worked.
Biggest usecase for me will be to create golden data set to create some hold-out set to iterate algorithm on.
>Imagine a world of no celebrities. No TMZ. No gossip columns. No infotainmant on the news. No faux outrage scandals.

You'd still have all of those things, because those are all part of the business that drives entertainment. The entire scandal complex would just be automated and generated by AI along with the rest of consumer culture, but it won't go away. Why would it, when there's so much money to be made?

There will be probably be more of it, not less, because once you have perfectly convincing virtual celebrities, you can include perfectly convincing virtual dead celebrities as well, and fictional characters within their respective fictional worlds.
If you think the airblades are bad then wait until you try out the airblade + tap combined: https://www.dyson.com/hand-dryers/dyson-airblade-tap-overvie... # I've only seen (and used) them at a service station in Gruyère.

They're one of the most ridiculous non-solutions to a non-problem I've seen - you end up setting the dryer off when washing your hands (if washing your hands properly) and blow water everywhere. Even if you don't set them off you still end up blowing the excess water all over yourself as the sink acts as a nice surface for it all to bounce off.
This is covered within the first 2-3 minutes of the Emacs tutorial, along with some other shortcuts for moving around.

I think the closest thing to "python with types" is probably Julia:
https://julialang.org/

I think the efforts of adding type/type hints to python are interesting - but there's a tension between "weee! Look at me ducktyping, metaprogramming all the prototypes!!"-design and leveraging types as part of your design. Haskell/f#/ml are great languages, but they feel very different from python (ml maybe less so,but afaik there are no full featured implementations with areasonable standard lib...).

If Python is the starting point, I think there's probably four approaches that makes sense if python ends up being limited (in part due to lack of typing): move to a language like Julia, proto-type in python; re-employment in go, prototype in python; reimplement parts in cython and/or rust, add type hints on top of python.

[ed: almost forgot, secret option number five: use restricted-python and the pypy framework to implement a language suited to the problem domain..]
"... all versions of BSD incorporated proprietary AT&T Unix code and were, therefore, subject to an AT&T software license. Source code licenses had become very expensive and several outside parties had expressed interest in a separate release of the networking code, which had been developed entirely outside AT&T and would not be subject to the licensing requirement. This led to Networking Release 1 (Net/1), which was made available to non-licensees of AT&T code and was freely redistributable under the terms of the BSD license. It was released in June 1989."

In past I wanted my employers to pay for VirtualBox commercial licences (to support the project and in some cases it was a requirement that all software used in development process is properly licensed) but I couldn't even find it anywhere as a product. Nowadays it is available[1] (not sure since when) but minimum number of licenses to purchase is 100.

It's amazing that not more people realize the complexity is by design and intended to be so. There is a thriving AWS consultancy business that relies on AWS being overly complex. This in turn incentivizes hundreds? of thousands of consultants to push AWS to their clients over simpler solutions.
I was wondering about using smartphone cameras as drum-head pickups, but the frame-rate problem put me off the idea. With the rolling-shutter trick it seems that it might be almost useful on bass drums, at least as a trigger rather than an audio source.

Censys? Probably not. It depends how much you value having the data provided in an easily digestible and searchable form that's hopefully updated often.

On the other hand, if you have a small subnet, say, less than a /24, you might as well just nmap it yourself, and then you're also guaranteed to have the latest possible scan.
That's exactly why I chose it when I made a PoC ransomware. That and using a virtual file system that bundles all assets into the executable, having a decent stdlib, tons of well written libraries and being able to cross-compile with ease.
One might argue that Python doesnt need as much tooling. In java you need tools to autogenerate code, refactor, etc. Because its so strict. But with python, you can use the language itself to do things, such as adding a parameter to a function without actually modifying any existing references.
In other words, in java, the language is the canvas and the ide is the paintbrush, but in Python, your editor is the canvas, and the language is the paintbrush.

I was in cab in Napoli once and noticed that the driver was drumming his fingers to the beat of one of the latest American pop songs playing over the radio. However, he couldn't speak a word of English. I thought this a bit curious.

However, the article frames it in context for me. It seems like Italian music has tried to pick up on the beats and sounds of American music, so even if the language itself was foreign the music was not.
Their AWS bill seems like it would be a lot higher than it needs to be. They're spinning up always-on staging, testing and development environments in 3 different regions. I know they've got autoscaling configured, so their production environment should be significantly larger than the others, but it still should be possible to be much more economical while accomplishing all of those non-production workloads.

The whole point of infrastructure-as-code should be the ability to spin up environments on-demand, do work, and then spin down. There's no reason to spin up an always-on shared development environment when developers can easily spin up their own environment when they need to do testing and kill it when they're done. Most development tasks can be tested in a single AZ, let alone region. Similarly, QA shouldn't need an always-on, 3-region setup.
not everything needs to be on the blockchain. we are thinking about putting only the most crucial touchpoints of flatsharing on chain, such as reputation and trust data. but immutability is not necessarily desired for some of this data either (even if it's just an IPFS that's put on chain). we're still actively thinking through this. also, it's not just about the ability to pay with crypto obviously, although that leverages the core stength of the technology. We take a small fee in the beginning which goes to 0 after a few bookings. Compare that to the 20% fees on Airbnb.

A lot of the complexity parent describes in billing is Amazon's own fault for their user-hostile "reserved instances" feature. If Amazon canned reserved instances and replaced it with automatic volume discounts, or just discounts, then they could well simplify billing quite a bit. But they made design mistakes by introducing reserved instances in the first place, they've dug in their heels on it with revisions, and they don't want to give up the fatter profit margins they get from this differentiated pricing.

Parent attributes that to Amazon's age, which I agree has merit. But if Amazon has become inflexible and impenetrable with age, then we should up and leave for better platforms.
Ted's problem is that he still thinks his specs are perfect ("close your eyes" line from a few days ago).

The specs are never perfect, and are almost guaranteed to be wrong prior to any sort of half-functional implementation. IETF is living proof of that.

No, it is fine to admit you don't know something, and bad co-workers are something for them to correct, not for you to be embarrassed about. If Bootstrap wants to educate people on their way of doing front-end work, fine -- but playing on the emotions of newbie developers is just cheap.
