I would rather pay for Free Software than use zero cost Non-Free Software.

To elaborate, if you take the time to learn how to use this, and incorporate it into your workflow, you're at the mercy of the developer. If they decide to stop distributing it, and you get a new computer, then you're not even legally allowed to install it.
Well, that's just it, the fact that underperformers aren't recognized is also a symptom of the process, and the fix is fixing the process, not throwing away the process.

Every problem is organizational, even those caused by individuals, because it's the organization's job to recognize and remove those individuals where appropriate.

I would argue that learning both is important, but its always better to learn the dumb tools first (IDE). Dumb tools were made for a reason because they are the lowest common denominator and therefore easier to get things done. Your time spent on tooling could have been used elsewhere.

VIM / emacs are great if you work in a unix environment, but as a windows user Id rather have nice GUI tools. Requires less memorization to do the same tasks.

I would also argue against memorizing shortcuts as well, and if you do, only a select few that you often use. Rather have a quick reference file on hand for these shortcuts to memorize.
I'm feeling uneasy about this particular strand of this scandal...

She was a 23 year old intern, and had already left Cambridge Analytica when she send that email in 2013. The comment on the forwarded message within CA was "Ever come across Palantir?" If employees at CA did not even know the company, how was she supposed to see them as the shadowy big brother company that is their image today?

The timeline is also important: First, she left CA. She then send that email in summer 2013. Only some time after that did CA start its program to syphon Facebook's data.

It seems perfectly plausible that she had just completed a completely benign internship at a company that presented itself as a sort of next-gen online advertisement agency with a bend towards academic psychology.

There is also no indication that her father is involved, nor are there any plausible reasons to believe that he would have any interest in the sort of seedy activity that later transpired.

The connection to Eric Schmidt seems little more than a curious coincidence. And while there are obviously many people worse off in life than her, this attention doesn't seem entirely warranted and possibly quite unnerving.

This article is pretty sensational, it's not really a secret. Ducey has been a big proponent of autonomous vehicles, it's known to anyone paying attention. When Uber, Waymo, and GM (the 3 biggest autonomous development operations in America) started testing in the Phoenix metro area it was publicly announced.

Michigan, Florida, and Georgia also have similarly lassiez faire policies towards autonomous vehicle testing, but most of the action has been around Phoenix because of Ducey's active courting of the autonomous driving industry. In the wake of the Uber incident, a violation of Ducey's trust in Uber's obligation to test responsibly, he has ordered Uber to suspend their operations:

Interestingly, cities don't have much power to decide whether, or how, autonomous vehicles can test in their cities. When NY state governor Andrew Cuomo and Cruise Automation jointly announced GM's plan to begin testing in NYC, Bill de Blasio and the mayor's office were surprised, they hadn't heard anything about it, but NYC testing appears to be going ahead anyhow.
Sound could be produced by PWMing an i/o port to an integrator, so no need for the SID, and PWM could be generated through a register loaded with the desired value then decremented setting that pin to a 1/0 ratio according to its value, that is, turning the value into a duty cycle which once fed into the integrator becomes a voltage.
It's simple in theory, but being the parallel byte serialized into essentially a single bit that would require some speed the 6502 could hardly be capable of.

Hello everyone,

A month after our french roll out, I come here to present you our last product. It's called Axeptio and it's basically reCAPTCHA for user consent.

Backstory:

In november we were attending a conference about GDPR and we learned that opt-in and personal data collection was about to change, a lot. It was pretty obvious that no one except the GAFAs were to be ready on time and we saw it as an opportunity to create a new niche. We came up with the idea of a "consent-as-a-service" platform.

Technically, it's a iframe served upon HTTPS, displaying a form that follows the guidelines of the regulation. When a user checks to give its consent, we store the event and take it as the "proof". We don't know anything about the user and just store the information of acceptation.

If you have any question please leave a message here!
Agree completely. Training self driving in cars "virtual reality"and collecting data from human driven cars and then processing that data through the self driving engine should be done extensively before they are ever allowed on public roads.

The driver assists you talk about will increase the safety of human driven cars to the point the self driving safety argument becomes less and less relevant.

The idea of a fully autonomous self driving car that can pick you up from your cabin by the lake and drive you into the city is in "flying car" territory for me. The AI required to execute that journey is so far off that the society could have changed enough to make the idea obsolete.

Self driving approved routes are the only way I see this working. Eg. goods haulage or reducing congestion in city centers.

That’s the plan (and it’s what the blog post says).

However both Facebook and large products at other companies have too much code that depends on those lifecycles. Potentially thousands of components. So it’s infeasible to completely deprecate them. At least not within a time frame of a year.

This is why we’re still leaving the “unsafe” aliases in React 17 so that people can opt out of async rendering and keep using those while they’re not ready to migrate.

Since we need some version of the hooks to stay, we need to clearly differentiate them so that new code doesn’t use them. Hence the prefix.

It's not "unfortunate". It's a known drawback of the tradeoff chosen by Go.
Right now the way society is organized, you can cut costs by becoming impersonal and standardized. Like McDonalds has lower cost per sandwich than a mom-n-pop shop. But this is being subsidized by effective slavery of the working classes. If they weren't coerced by starvation, they'd walk off the job.

But the job they'd walk onto instead, is quite likely to be a return to personal food, retail, etc.

Like, Amazon might have trouble finding warehouse workers, but owner-operated bookshops would boom. McDonalds would have to go robot, but the cooks would be working at Mom's Diner.
It seems these big tech companies have become de facto arms dealers. After all, their munitions ("big data") are being loaded into weaponized algorithms designed by military contractors and deployed against civilian populations.

What an ingenious racket it is to have your target produce the munitions that you then turn around and use against them.

I'm not against regulation on principle, but how specifically would you write something against these patterns? I have a hard time seeing how to describe them in a general way - and "I know them when I see them" doesn't make good law.
Possibly related – one of my most used keystroke-saving aliases/functions is:

mcd () {
mkdir -p "$*" && cd "$*"
}

…which, quite obviously, creates a directory and jumps into it.

Note: the name overrides the GNU Mtools' mcd (https://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html#mcd) on some systems – choose another name if you need the tool. The original mcd "changes MSDOS directory" according to it's manpage, and wants to do something with a floppy drive when i run it by mistake.

>perform multiple renderToString

The downside of this is that the cost of rendering is multiplied. We know it’s an existing workaround but it’s not a good long term solution. We want to enable something better.

>Removing componentWillMount will force us to rewrite everything to the suspense API.

This is not accurate. The blog post states that `UNSAFE_componentWillMount` is here to stay so you can keep using that until we have a first-class data fetching solution that works both on the client and the server. You can also use the constructor for this (it’s technically equivalent to `componentWillMount`).

While it contradicts what I said earlier (avoid side effects in constructor) you’re already using a hack (rendering twice) and I’d argue this is no worse as a temporary solution. Don’t forget that `componentWillMount` is equivalent to the constructor for all intents and purposes, and only exists because it predates ES6 classes (and the ability to define a constructor). So you were already doing side effects in what is effectively a constructor.

Still, the upcoming Suspense API mentioned in the blog post is the intended long term solution to this. It will work both on the client and the server, and it will allow you to remove the double rendering hack. But to prepare for Suspense, we need to make components compatible with async rendering (which is what the blog post is all about).

We added a section to the blog post which I hope clarified it:

>When supporting server rendering, it’s currently necessary to provide the data synchronously – componentWillMount was often used for this purpose but the constructor can be used as a replacement. The upcoming suspense APIs will make async data fetching cleanly possible for both client and server rendering.

So you can keep using `UNSAFE_componentWillMount` or constructor for now, and migrate to Suspense when it’s ready (and render your app in a single pass).

How do you define "punishment" for dog training? In the psychological sense, punishment is going to mean either denial of a positive thing (treats, toys, etc) or use of a negative thing (scolding, physical methods like spraying water or citronella, poking (dog whisperer's method) or straight up violence).

To me, this is not the way to train a dog. You can still be a leader by providing their food at set times, by giving them play time and ample walks, and by truly mastering yourself so you do not unnecessarily use physical or verbal abuse on them. To me, I've never had to punish my dogs, all I'll do is say "No" in a particular tone of voice. Other than that, I just reinforce the good behaviors, allow them wiggle-room for breed-specific behaviors, and make sure they have plenty of exercise and a good diet.
What? Most Webpack setups I've seen use UglifyJS or something similar, and those definitely build ASTs.

If people want to lose weight, the worse advice you can give them is to "exercise to lose weight". Exercise has little to no effect on losing weight. You have to exercise at such a level of intensity and duration to make any meaningful difference that most people can't or won't do it. Losing weight is almost entirely about what you eat.

As I said in another post, I was a part time fitness instructor for 12 years and I would exercise intensely between teaching and my own personal workouts 10 hours a week. But it didn't take "willpower" because it was harder to get out of exercising (I had to find a sub), it was part of my social life and I was getting paid to stay in shape. How many people could handle that level of effort?

Even now, to see any effects from exercise on losing weight and keeping what I would consider a fairly normal caloric intake, I exercise 2 hours/four days a week and trending toward 3 hours/four days a week. How many people can actually do that?

I also have a separate room in our house reserved for exercise equipment so I don't have to find time to go the gym - a treadmill, elliptical, and soon a magnetic rower and adjustable weights. When all is said and done, I'll have about $5000 worth of equipment in my house. I would never recommend most people spend money on exercise equipment at home unless they are already an avid exerciser.

There are a lot of good reasons to exercise that should be emphasized but so wouldn't even mention "weight loss" as one of them.

Brain-Computer Interfaces Show That Neural Networks Learn by Recycling
The discussion about exposing the bit was to allow network administrators to detect retransmissions. The bit is supposed to flip constantly, if it doesn't, then retransmissions happen and thus something might be wrong with the network.

Because it's just one bit and it can have two values and both are valid and both values are seen with about the same frequency, a middlebox won't be able to just drop a packet if the value is either 0 or 1.

This is why there is even a discussion happening. It's felt to be reasonably safe to include to provide some actual value to tools.

The debate is though whether it's really safe and/or whether it provides enough value to go through the trouble.

If you ask me personally, in my professional life, I have been bitten by protocol ossification way more than by not being able to make sense out of a packet stream, so I personally would absolutely not expose anything.

But then again, I'm an application level developer and not a network administrator.

I used them mostly for server side rendering, if I remeber correctly.

componentDidMount will fire only on the client and componentWillMount on client and server.

Since the server rendered stuff wasn't interactive I could only do a subset of the things the client allowed, so I would do these in componentWillMount and the rest in componentDidMount only on the client.
