It might be a fantastic tradeoff, considering how loud vehicles are anyway, and how much it might improve car traffic and shorten rush hour.
Another happy customer of PocketCasts. When I moved from Android to iOS, I still find PocketCasts to be superior to alternatives.
I’m curious, if a local community doesn’t want to adopt a technology, don’t you think they should regulate it locally, instead of fussing about the fact that it may work fine for a different community? If a city doesn’t want flying taxis I don’t see why they can’t just pass an ordinance banning them.

If flying taxis work great for New Zealand’s use cause, are you really opposed to developing it because it won’t work in your country? What an odd way to think about technology.
With all the talk of Vim vs. Emacs, it surprises me that Emacs is in the low single digits, while Vim is 25% of all respondents.

It does not surprise me that it is 40% (and #1) amongst sysadmin/devops practitioners.
> I am talking about full-scale replacements for Google’s entire Android development stack. Microsoft has Xamarin, Adobe has Cordova, Facebook has React Native, I mean it’s crazy town. [...]

> It’s like everyone who’s ever tried to do Android programming gave up and declared: “This is so bad that I will do my own startup to make it better.”

> And Google, not to be outdone by their competitors, responded by saying, “Oh yeah? Well you can’t compete with us, because we’re going to compete with us!” and they launched Flutter, which is — I am not making this up — a 100% serious Android development stack that competes with native Android, and whose existence the actual Android team simply refuses to acknowledge.

This is incorrect. Every one of these I've heard of (all the big ones) and probably the rest don't exist because Android development is so terrible, they exist mostly to facilitate one codebase for both iOS and Android, or to allow the use of a different language.

I mean, that's incredibly obvious, so I don't know why he's got this here.
The cookies were persistent, and evidently I was still logged in. Granted, I should have logged out, but it has happened more than once that someone has needed to watch me purchase something (perhaps we were purchasing something together for a gift, or it was for a class project, etc.), and then they could see my history. I have fixed this and worked around it on 3 other websites so far, but Walmart is the first one that did it with offline purchases, and that made me angry.

The fact that my offline purchases are linked to an online account WITHOUT my permission and AGAINST my will is only the first issue.

The fact that I do not even have the option to DISABLE this intrusion is a second issue. It is, in a manner, leaking private information. You may not have to use your computer publicly while logged in; I have had to on numerous occasions in just the past year.

I want the ability to maintain my privacy.
The long term maintenance costs of the aircraft will drive the cost structure and those are unknown right now. I suspect the price at launch is going to way lower than what most consumers would think is possible.
Trump blocks Broadcom's bid for Qualcomm on security grounds
I don't really see how that would help. The victim's computer expected to connect to the router, because the victim's computer was intentionally downloading and running dlls from the router.

I don't think it would help with the initial compromise of the router either. Buffer overflows (for example) can be exploited over https just as well as http, and that would be similar for other cryptographic strategies.
Very relevant story. I thought of linking to it in my original post, but it was already getting to be quite long. Thanks for including it here, though!

Feels like billionaires solving billionaires problems - this doesn’t scale.
This library does not come even close to doing what it claims to.
This is excusable because it is actually a very difficult problem with no simple solution. Depending on your hardware and software, it may have no guaranteed solution at all.

Let's start with the fact that modern disc controllers cache megabytes of data and there exists no way to force them to write it out. There exist a few ways to suggest this. Some will listen, some will lie. SSDs even worse in this respect, they cache hundreds of megabytes, and while they're doing garbage collection, even more data may be touched and modified. Depending on how good their algorithms are, you may lose the data that you are writing if they're powered off suddenly, or entirely unrelated other data, or perhaps a little of each. There is no standard way to tell an SSD to flush its data to actual Flash either, of course. In fact, depending the the logic in the FTL in use, this may not even be possible to do quickly (say, you discover a few bad blocks during garbage collection and need to relocate a lot of data suddenly). This changes even across firmware updates.

And then we arrive at modern file systems. The default mount options generally only sync metadata to disc no matter how many times you call the sync system call. All the dirty pages containing actual file data will be written whenever the system damn well feels like it. And of course, as mentioned above, they're only written to the volatile RAM inside the disk controller.

This is actually an insanely complicated problem. If you want to see how it is solved professionally, take a look at a databases. People who work on sqlite spent countless hundreds of hours making stuff like this work reliably, or break in ways that are predictable and recoverable. Generally this involves extreme amounts of journaling, sometimes multiple levels of journals. Oftentimes there is a whole lot of os-specific quirks handling to fix the differences between what the OSs promise functions do and the reality.

This is actually why, if you ever start needing to "write things reliably", or "store more than a few of something in a file, and update it", and you can spare the code size, just use sqlite for your storage. Because there's a whole lot of problems you're going to hit that they have already solved for you.
exactly. I also gave them my sad upvote for a really spot on commentary on the diversity and inclusion issues. :(
Well, they do provide a mechanism to exclude the purchases. I have also begun using ad blockers to hide them.

The biggest issue, though, is that WM had linked and is showing offline purchases on my online account without my consent.

SpaceChem was my favourite iPad game. It was great when travelling when you had some time to burn and it could be really challenging. It’s a shame that Zachtronics decided to drop support for iOS.
I guess no one but you saw connecting offline and online as so conceptually different that would require anything additional...

Clarify something for me. Is your problem that the two datapoints are connected within the company's databases, or that they display that on your computer screen?
This is a silly analogy. A piece of paper does not provide safety. Only when the codes are exercised (And well at that) they might be any good.

This is the same fallacy politicians always commit when they pass laws rather than regulations. Or when the regulations are then not observed and penalty is ineffective.

A technical margin of safety is different as it is built into the system and works all the time. A safeguard is different as it requires no action to work at all.

Rules require observance and agreement.
Using Router with ReactPHP Http Component
Hi. I can't find anything about robotics or planning using the serach box at the top and a serch for "logic" turns up the page for Biological Neurons.

I think you're being attacked by spam bots.

Edit: There's also a lot of that under "wanted pages".
No idea what I will be using it for yet, but I am sure I will!
Yes. Except that I have to use my computer, logged in, quite often, publicly (in front of others). I have resorted to using ad blockers on some sites to get around it (amazon, ebay, aliexpress, etc.).

My question is simple, though: Why can't I as a customer disable this invasive "feature"? I don't want it. If I want to get into my history, then I'll navigate to my order history page. Otherwise, the website is leaking my private information.
I don't believe that "Almost half of professional developers contribute to open source projects.", even if you count every single half baked unfinished project on Github as contributing to open source.
Any takers for doing this in lisp? ;)
You correct but Quantum many worlds has no relation to the arguments of the article.
Yes for Mask-RCNN. For FCN, there is R-FCN.

Overall I'm really happy to work in a domain where people share their code and models in such an open way.
I take issue with detectron in particular though, because a company the size of facebook in the year of 2018 has no excuse to publish a major software package in python 2.
The oldest models they implement are from 2015 (excluding VGG16 which is so prolific it's available in literally every library as python 3) and caffe2 is quite a bit more recent than that. Like I said. No excuse...
The article doesn't actually talk about preventing injection attacks, but rather identifying potential attack surfaces by doing an AST search for eval/exec in combination with mutable variables. The article does not explain what limitations exist for their runtime check:

> This results in 5 false positives (out of 56 benign inputs), which are caused by limitations of the static analysis (3/5) or node types outside of the safe set (2/5).

Besides that, it's good to see more security tools - especially when the research is open source: https://github.com/sola-da/Synode
TxN? Do you mean Transactional NTFS (which is shortened to TxF in the documentation). And isn't that deprecated with a warning that it might not exist in future Windows versions?
Increased pageviews, yet many users also hate constant outrage and leave the platform entirely. It is not obvious that a platform with civil, high-quality discussion would lose in the marketplace (not obvious it would win either, though).
The Space Time Quantization theory of Prof. Auguste Meessen [1] leads to an explanation of the accelerating expansion of the universe, the cosmological constant suggested by Einstein (drak energy) and dark matter. It uses just simple and basic physics. The only new hypothesis leading to this theory is that measured distances would be quantified. That means that there would be a minimal measurable length.

Geez if only programming language designers had come up with a way to bring code from other files. They could call it "include" or something like that. But that's just some crazy talk of course.

This brings back PTSD for anyone who implemented ad-hoc RTL and UTF-16 surrogate pairs support in an environment that lacked them. Thank g-d I insisted that we at least omit diacritics as nobody uses them and they're a huge pain to implement and QA properly.

Also, can we please, please, please keep source code files as pure ascii? Asking as a non-native english speaker. There're a lot of tools that we developers need to use on those, and their encoding issues tend to follow the Murphy's law and appear at the most inconvenient moment.

Edit regarding localization: all projects that I've worked on had localization in separate json or XML files, with automatic import/export from spreadsheets that would be filled by third party localization company.

This is the line of code I find my cursor on literally the moment I switch to HN:

questIcon.Text.text = ("Quest:" + World.current[index].template.trueId + "_title").T();

Where T() is the extension method from localization system. Why on earth would you include user-facing strings in the code itself?

I actually tried 1Password recently. Their online offering is new. The browser addons had problems. I'm a Linux/Android user so that's an extra problem. I'm just looking something that works xplatform and potentially has family/team sharing.

I do like 1Password team/ui better and it's probably going to be a solid eventually, but couple month ago it was a bit too raw.

I've also found https://bitwarden.com/, but haven't checked it yet. It can be self-hosted, but it's C# which may or may not be your cup of tea.

There are also pass (the cli tool based on PGP) based browser extensions, maybe worth investigating that stack again.

Laser Liposuction Manhattan NYC – SmartLipo Liposuction
I’m actually surprised that around 64% of the developers are having a “Computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering” degree.

I do my personal statistics for colleagues I’ve met and the percentage having no degree or degree in another field is around 7 out of 10.

Maybe that’s because I primarily work for startups and do my survey in the startup culture, but still it’s fascinating how much of those developers took the decision to become one at around high school age.

The military is the antithesis of hacking culture:
- Play by the rules, even if they don't make sense, because I said so.
- Listen to people above your paygrade, even if they are clueless, because that's the way we do things around here.
- There's a simple rulebook and checklists to follow to complete your task, and if you don't follow the rules you get punished.
- Low pay for extraordinary work.
- Endless meetings and powerpoint slides.

I know a lot of security folk, and none of them like any of these things. I don't know a single one who would enjoy making 40k a year while shining their boots for some drill instructor.

What a total joke. You want to get good hackers? You gotta pay up and stay the out of their way. This is not a problem you can throw bodies at, and you can't coerce people to be good at hacking.
Yes, I was going to say, it's not a "lottery win" at all. All his employees have contributed to the pot (their salaries are less than the company profits+capital gains), and as the company owner, he's the automatic winner.

Cool to see Redis to be in top position. For what is worth, Redis confessed to love developers, so it is definitely a reciprocal feeling.

Btw surprised to see "contributing to OSS" at ~50%. Looks like an incredibly high number (cit. Trump), so would be awesome to see this question more fine grained next time. This may be an indirect measure of all the work that goes into OSS to make it sustainable.

I would like to see: kind of contribution (Opening issues, PR, managing a project, ...) and average hours spent per week.

I'm sure he is working on improving it. It's all in his article.

Still, he is stil "working on it". While Slack has already "delivered".

It is childish to say that whatever feature Slack has is "simply" something that can "just" be added to XMPP.

To me, the author's complaint of how Slack rips users of is the same as customer who complains when it takes month to "just" add a feature.

He himself hasn't even done it. He planned to do it, anybody can plan to do things. Anyone can be working on something that will change the world. Only few delivers. He complain about funding, while he is adding feature that he claimed was "simple".

Why does simple feature needs funding? And if Slack is ripping people of on feature that can simply be added on XMPP, then put your house on loan, create better XMPP client and earns millions of dollars. You don't need funding. That's what being adult is.

Former mac user, now Dell XPS user - my first impressions were great, second not so much. XPS laptops have a horrendous coil whine and a lot of model lines have an issue where the computer won't go to sleep(instead stays on with the fan off, resulting in the machine reaching burning temperatures if you just close the lid and put it in your bag). I've had the motherboard replaced 3 times now - both issues are still present. There's thread upon thread upon thread about both on Dell forums - and it seems Dell doesn't have an engineering solution, despite being on the 7th(?) generation of that laptop.

When you build a small house, you don't account for the curvature for earth. Same for when you walk down the street.

When you build a runway for a plane or a long bridge, you do.

A model is not necessarily useful in all contexts. People still use the flat earth model in useful ways because it's simpler to assume the earth is flat in some situations. Of course, once you go beyond the capabilities of the flat earth model your numbers will wildly diverge into the realm of useless while the round or spherical models provide useful numbers for longer.
The case that was being made is that the poster themselves wouldn't like the outcome they wish for because people in general have a tendency to under imagine others' behavior with a new tech, over their own benefits.
I suspected somebody would bring up Bundys. However, given that the whole dispute is about grazing fees in some piece of federal land, I can't really take it as a political statement. Yes, Bundys proposed some political theories as justification of their actions, but if there wasn't $1M in grazing fees, I don't think any of it would happen at all. The fact that violence was threatened is bad - but it is hard to take this as a genuine example of politically-motivated violence.
