I remember years ago I needed to parse some html(which was about 2-3 million characters) and after a fair bit of time, I had it up and running with beautifulsoup. Now, my use case was likely quite atypical to most html parsing, but my god was it ever slow! I forget the exact numbers, but I think it was taking about 150 seconds to complete. So, then I wrote it using lxml, which was an improvement, but that was still taking around 100 seconds.

Now, I very rarely have any need to scrape and parse html data, and I was scratching my head at how it was taking these parsers so long to parse a 3.5 mib html page. I mean, it should be able to go through that and get what I want in under a second right?

So, I said screw it and wrote some regexes. 10-15 seconds was how long it was now taking to parse that html. It actually took 1.5 or so seconds to parse the html; the rest was waiting for it to download the webpage.

Ironically, implementing the regexes was actually quicker than figuring out how to use those html parsers and write the code. Of course, that's assuming you know how to craft regexes. Since it was set-up to run every 5 minutes, I wanted something that could do it without spending 1/2 the time parsing the data(amongst other tasks the processors were needed for).

3 Things to Know about Android as React Native Developer
A bit related: just last weekend I learned about [0] a YouTube channel that shows railroad crossing in (mainly) The Netherlands: https://www.youtube.com/user/SAjustusSA

The most viewed video has 16M views which seems spectacular and at the same time totally logical to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rTJjIsKTa0

I've been using the ColorHug 1, and found it worked quite nicely. The included Fedora CD (yes, this was some time ago) let me calibrate just fine. Once I wanted to do it straight from XCFE, I ran into a few challenges, but it wasn't unsurmountable:

Basically, you have to run xiccd in the background, since XFCE doesn't have built-in colord support to set the X11 atom[1]. I've never used multiple monitors though, I don't know if that's possible with xiccd+xfce instead of Gnome.

I think it was combination of factors that shut down FireFox OS:

* The foundation was bleeding money and had to limit it's focus

* The Matchstick on KickStarter made FireFox OS look like a non-viable product

* Not a lot of chimerical interest outside from outside the community
I'll believe it when i see it
I kind of agree. This Troy Hunt guy is doing a fantastic job with HIBP but this particular release is just so nebulous it's a real time waster.
It would be nice if it used unlicensed spectrum in all countries, and then all anyone would have to do to connect to the SpaceX internet is get their hands on a modem that supports it. That would be very liberating for many countries, and I'm not sure there would be much the local governments could do other than throw a tantrum. They could start requiring a license for all free spectrum, but that would have non-insignificant consequences for their local economy, too.
You're using regex to parse html? Have you not read: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/1090568 ?
FAT32 is not a bad choice. It's a relatively simple filesystem that reduces the amount of stuff the UEFI has to deal with while also being understood by basically any modern operating system (modern = since 2000)

The only other option I'm aware of that is cross-OS would be UDF, which back then wasn't popular outside DVDs and even today people continue to ignore. Though it would have been patent free.
> because that is who America has designated as their community support system.

This seems unjustified. Your statement assumes (a) Support systems in the community are run only by religious people. This implies (b) Non-religious people do not run any community programs.

Assuming (b) is true (which it may very well not be), the question that needs to be asked is, why do non-religious people and institutions not run more community programs.
Not rail against the religious people who do.

How many non Apple phones run iOS?

The strength of Android is that you can customize it. Some people like Touchwizz. I prefer oxygenOS.
Mozilla is not holding your back against browser, device or user fingerprinting. There are many attacks to fingerprint a browser/device/user, and Firefox doesn't protect you against them but instead it gives lots of data right away. It's disheartening to see so little care for defending the user.
There should be a way to check entire domains, outside of known public email providers. I use a different email address for every website I use and a catch-all rule on my domain to redirect them all to a single email account. I won't check them all simply because I don't even remember them all. I know this could have the downside of being useful in email address enumeration though.
The Samsung Galaxy S9's Biggest Competition Isn't the iPhone
I think there was a recent report from the FCC that said only ~60% of Americans have access to 25+ Mbps internet. So, at least in theory, SpaceX has an enormous market.
Thank you for answering. At first I was surprised at "someone who's a productive expert in their field in some group, will not understand, and not be capable of working in some other group", but I guess at some level I as a Ruby/JS (and learning Elixir) programmer am drifting apart from the other languages. Like right now I can't visualize myself coding iOS/Android apps just because the tooling is different. I probably could if I really wanted to, but it'd be really hard.

My goal for the next few years is to just keep on mastering the craft as to make it easier to make things or make decisions on things, I hope to continue programming to at least make tools for myself and for other people.

I completely agre re: "its the people you do things with that matter", but I'd like to add "the people you do things for", too. I think everyone (bakers and soldiers included) likes working with nice people and working on something that will be used by other people.
Does anyone know what kind of circuit would be able to convert 12VDC (e.g. from a small lead acid gel. cell battery) to 20VDC (which my Lenovo E470's DC charging voltage)? The E470 is my work computer and does not have an easily swappable battery, so I wanted to experiment with some kind of external charging system I can use when working remote at sites without accessible outlets.

The great big Spotify scam: How Bulgarian playlister swindled a fortune
I was at Motorola when Iridium went up, and witness first hand the changing market dynamics that were happening even before their first satellite was deployed. Was thinking then that if they mad the satellites generic data switches instead of a flying phone switch, they would have had a much bigger market.

So for Musk's network, it really depends on if 80% of the potential customers (people with money to spend on the service) get saturated with ground-level 3G - 5G by the time the network is operational or not.

Something else to consider, if the system allows for land-based carriers to tap into it and re-broadcast it on 5G (with different pricing). Imagine if there is no coverage in your area, and anyone can purchase a box to put on their roof that pulls down the satellite Internet and makes it available to everyone's 3G - 5G phones in the area. You lease the box from someone, and you get a commission on every client connection.
I brought my 8x42* binocular on an international trip last year but I found it took up space and weighed my carry-on luggage down (every kilo makes a difference with lengthy time in transit and tired walks through large terminals). I also didn't end up using them all that much enroute. On my return trip, I simply packed it as checked luggage.

I imagine pilots and flight crews would have similar considerations as to how useful binoculars are on a typical sector - most seem to not pack all that much with them. It sounds that if pilots were to be issued expensive binoculars for the purpose of identifying unidentified objects, rare events would need to become a lot more frequent?

On a vaguely related note, in 2012 an Air Canada passenger plane was diverted to help locate a stranded yacht off Australian waters. Apparently, there was a call out to any passengers who might have had binoculars, but it's not clear whether they were instrumental in the end: https://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/18/travel/australia-yacht-re...

* While smaller binoculars are lighter and more compact, they also cost a lot more if optics quality is to be preserved. Also, smaller ones don't work as well at night - so that probably rules out any real chance of identifying stealth aircraft when it's dark.

I've noticed with my 8x42 binocular at daytime, large aircraft at a certain height (I can't remember if it was 10,000 or 30,000 ft) on a clear day with no contrails cannot be seen by my naked eye on the ground but shows up clearly in the binocular - but only if I know where to scan (after looking up FlightRadar, etc). While they do bring the view closer, they're not magic and come with tradeoffs like a narrow field of view, etc.
>> “We need to scale AI out to more people,” Fei-Fei Li, chief scientist at Google Cloud, said ahead of the launch today.

Problem is, when Google says "AI" they mean deep learning, on ginormous datasets with humongous clusters of GPUs. That don't scale.

Accordingly, when Google says "we need to scale AI out to more people" what they really mean is "we need to make more people use our services".

Sure- but most developers would be most happy with an AI system with the same predictive power as deep nets (or thereabouts) that used let's say 1/1000th of the data and could be trained on a cheap laptop in a couple of minutes.

That capability means either abandoning deep learning as inherently impossible to train small, or spending major resources to make it possible to train deep learning on small datasets with little compute.

Is Google working on this problem? Is anyone?

You have every ML vendor (disclaimer: My competitors) following google with this name trying to get a piece of the hype pie spreading more confusion in their marketing material. It drives me nuts.

So is he not planning on offering Internet access then? Just transit to other Starlink stations? Presumably even that would allow somebody to offer a "real" ISP on top of this service with a ground station and then peering to the Internet. Still, paying for Starlink and then separately paying for a Starlink-Internet bridge isn't the greatest consumer experience.
I'm a little surprised he doesn't share actual password lists with at least some other security researchers. I get there are legal issues involved but I thought researchers had legal protections?

"Dark web" (lol) hackers are already going to be circulating the sources of this list and in any case could probably crack sha-1 reasonably quickly. So if you do a minimal amount of verifying the person who asks (e.g. ring their university) you can surely help the good guys with little risk of misuse?
I would imagine that those governments would make it illegal for people to own the receiver equipment. Just like some (in the past) have made it illegal to own a shortwave radio.
it avoids all of the annoying issues that cartels spent a lot of time setting up on a state-by-state basis in the US (which results in limited choice).

Effectively you could connect to this anywhere in the world without the approval of local (e.g. Chinese citizens could get an unfiltered internet and the only "tell" is that they have a satellite dish). That makes the potential of this reasonably neat but it will depend on bottoming out the price and having enough capacity.
No way for me to verify it because I use different username on different sites, and I have a self-hosted catch-all email server, I would have to extract all my usernames or emails from KeePass and check each of them separately... I'm too safe to even know I was hacked.
In the days of burning CD's I was always told that you should be quiet and not touch the PC when you were burning. In my experience there was indeed a correlation between noise and the success of burning. I'm not sure if this is a placebo effect or not, and if this also holds for reading CD's.

On the other hand, if you have a laptop with an SSD (which is non-mechanical) there shouldn't be too much sensitivity to vibrations, I think.

The GP said that he has severe emotional problems, related to childhood trauma around spending money and also broke down when buying the bed.

Why are you criticizing his choice of bed? You are showing a lack of empathy to the poster's actual point, which isn't "Help me find a cheap bed". It feels like you're just looking for an opportunity to brag about how good at buying beds you are. Even if you're not, your response doesn't say anything about the article or add to the wider discussion in any way.

Build a Web Chat Component
I've often wondered why that 2D event horizon is necessary. The space near the event horizon also gets stretched, from the perspective of things falling towards it. That is, if you're falling towards a black hole, the event horizon is a point that's getting closer, but it's infinitely far away (collision with event horizon will happen at a time in the future further than any other event in the future). Sufficiently stretched space would provide more than enough space to contain all the objects falling in and make it look from the perspective of someone falling in like nothing at all is happening.

It even preserves relative motion ! If A and B are both falling towards the event horizon, their relative movement doesn't change : by that I mean that if it was 2 moons, and someone launched a rocket from A towards B, it would take, say 10 hours to get to B. When both fall towards the black hole that time can still lengthen from the perspective of someone standing on A or B. It can shorten. It can stay the same. Depends on how it was changing before they started falling in.

So it could simply be that relativity stretches the space time near the event horizon enough for everything to fit in there, like that tent in Harry Potter. It looks weird from the outside, but if you're falling into the black hole it's the opposite: everything outside of that (very, very large) space near the event horizon is what looks weird. But if the black hole is big enough, it looks weird, but ... not very much.

The entirely weird thing is, you can choose initial conditions where all distances lengthen proportionally, in fact that's the more common scenario. So for all objects that are falling into the black hole, and objects not falling into it, all distances lengthen. Make the black hole big enough and the difference between things falling into it and things orbiting it or even moving away are very very small indeed.

And now you look at our universe, and that's exactly what you see. The value of the cosmological constant (ie. the universe is expanding, but ever slower and it will never actually stop expanding) can be explained by the assumption that we're falling into a very, very large black hole.
The Challenge of Testing Mobile Apps
One factor could be that hospitals get reimbursed differently depending on treatment. "Observation" status is low-paying but reliable, whereas "Inpatient" pays higher, but may be deemed unnecessary by an insurance company and thus not paid out. https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2012/08/09/observati...

"Many patients are never informed of their hospital status, and physicians say the care provided does not depend on status. However, the status change can have a major impact on patient costs:

- Hospital stay costs: Medicare pays significantly more for inpatient stays—which fall under Part A of the federal program—than for observation stays—which fall under Part B. As such, much of the cost of a Part B hospital stay fall to the patient.

- Post-discharge care costs: Medicare does not cover post-discharge care for Part B observation stays. As such, a patient who is placed on observation status for a broken bone will have to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. In comparison, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following an inpatient stay that lasted at least three consecutive days. However, patients who are shifted into inpatient status after spending days in observation status must spend three full days in inpatient status to receive the benefit (the time spent in observation status does not count toward the three-day requirement)."

I wonder how relevant is the question asked in the original article, or - maybe better said - to whom the question has been asked.

>The researchers asked real people of various socioeconomic strata if they were willing to travel an extra 30 minutes to save $50 on a $300 tablet. Some said they were. But when asked if they’d drive that far to save the same amount on a $1,000 tablet, some of the respondents changed their minds. Their answer depended on their income.

I wouldn't even think to ask such a question about buying a $300 (let alone $ 1,000) tablet to someone who clearly cannot afford it (the actual poor people).

I mean, when you are dealing with someone who is homeless or that is on foodstamps (or similar assistance for the very basic needs) are you really going to ask them about the $50 savings on a completely voluptuary item such as a tablet, particularly a $ 1,000 one?

And the question is about "driving" (implying that the "poor" has a car).

Well, I don't know much about Lithuania, maybe it's paradise on earth, but I assure you that here in France and in most of the world, stealing, begging and dealing drugs also happens in "integrated" populations :) But I hear you, Rromas are often linked to that, and it doesn't help.

Regarding the "way of life", I find it funny it's considered a problem while I know so many friends, who nobody would say they are not integrated, who live just the same. They do seasonal winter work in tourism in mountains, seasonal summer work at beaches, and travel in between with their home/truck to visit friends and family, or just visit new places. I know three of them who have been living that way for 15 years, and nobody finds anything to say about it (except parents, of course, who would like to see them have "a real job").

Are you sure, deep inside, there is absolutely no problem of racism implied in your problems with rromas? (no need to answer this question, that's more something to ask to yourself)
I take some issue with calling La plus que lente a vulgar parody. A parody, yes, but an affectionate, if self-indulgent parody; he said it was written for the taste of "ladies who take tea," and he lavished too much attention on it for it to be vulgar.

A couple of interesting things - I spend more time reading code now than I used to, less time actually typing out code. I think this is natural with many years of experience.

After this many years you start to see patterns, not design patterns but organizational ones like:

- You really aren't involved with tech decisions. If you are on the IT side it is likely VP's meeting with sales people making decisions. On the product side you are more involved in decision making but if you aren't in a startup, those decisions have likely been made already.

- Tech decisions don't make/break a product. Sure a really bad choice or design of an overall system can have bad impacts but if you want an RDBMS, MySQL vs Postgres? it really won't impact your product enough to make a difference. Picking Oracle might impact your budget a whole lot.

- Learning people's behaviors and personalities and how to interact. This comes with time but can greatly help your career to learn how to communicate and work with people that have diverse ways of working together.

- There are times to craft wonderful code and then there are other times to just get shit done. An example is spending an elapsed 3 months building a solid, extensible way to call an external service, knowing you will have a few of these coming. Then a couple months later, take 2 days to add on a 2nd external service (or Nth). The business goes "its done already? awesome!" Feels good and maintaining that is easy.
Hell of a lot of places without 5G, or any, mobile internet. Don't forget aviation and to a lesser extent maritime either. People love their onboard wifi.

Owning the launch platform could mean that he's able to significantly undercut current players, although funnily enough soon-to-be competitor Iridium recently launched a whole bunch of new satellites using SpaceX. Good position to be in when your competitors are dependent on you!

There are certainly challenges, though. Latency is a huge problem with satellite internet, for obvious reasons. I'm not sure what the intended bandwidth is but satellite will always "feel" slower than mobile data of equivalent speed. The fact that it's a mesh network with who knows how many "hops" presumably makes it even worse. So it won't ever compete with mobile, not even 3G probably.
