If we are moving towards a future with self driving cars there needs standardization of road markers so that cars can recognize what's going on.

This crash is looking to be the autopilots due to the strange lane markings.

Have you ever driven down a road the lines grinded away and replace by new ones? Sometimes you can still see both sets, it can be pretty confusing for a human.
I’m curious as well.
Handyman is more like $50, and it's insurance against permanent hearing damage, breathing fiberglass, etc.
The point is more that processes holding on to a lot of memory often fork and exec and don’t actually need 2X their current allocation in-between.

Yes, there are alternative APIs that avoid the need to temporarily hold on to that memory in both processes, but the idiom is still incredibly common. And it’s not unusual for server-style processing to fork without an exec and largely share their parent’s allocation via copy-on-write. That defers allocation until there’s a page fault on a simple memory write, which doesn’t have a particularly helpful mapping to C if you want to return failure to the copying process.
Ya I dont know how much sense this makes. Knowing the final detected position is information that you are throwing away when you have a single detector. The ultimate would be to know the exact ray as it entered and then the exact position (and angle) as its detected.
Lots of great conversation here.

With the private game farms, some more context for people who are not familiar with them. They are generally facilities with 100's of acres of land and high fences around the perimeters to keep the animals in and the poachers etc out. Each animal has a dollar value associated with them. A Blesbok(type of Antelope) goes for about $400(what they charge a hunter if they get one) and it goes up to $50,000+ to get a Cape Buffalo.

Needless to say there is a lot of incentive to take care of the animals. For example one time I was visiting a family member that owns a Cape Buffalo farm in South Africa when someone left one of the gates open overnight. The herd of 50 got out and went a few miles down the road. That day was a "all hands on deck" to herd the ~2.5 million dollars of live stock back to the farm. There was a vet on stand by and they brought in a helicopter to do a survey and assist. The operation makes makes money for him, he employs a people and brings in money from tourists etc. and he is incentivised, by money he makes from his business, to take care of the animals.

This is in sharp contrast to the government of South Africa that has trouble taking care of the basics for the majority of the population, like education, at times maintaining reliable electricity (ask people there about the Escomm rolling power cuts when the grid is over capacity, or water in Cape Town... the water crisis has much more to do with poor utility management than climate change), most middle class people hire armed response private security services and don't rely on the police for security, etc..

Another relative works for a company the does municipal land valuations for tax assessments. It is not uncommon that they will get a contract, perform all of the things required for the contract, but then the municipality will hold off on paying (6+ months) until his company takes legal action, puts on lien on the municipalities assets and begins to seize them by going in and physically starting to take furniture, cars etc..

Some brought up a good point with the conservation efforts to hunt the older animals in the wild. Those permits can help to fund the conservation effort, but given how corrupt the government is there, someone with money could pay off a bureaucrat to look the other way with a permit etc... and then will the money actually be put into conservation efforts.

I could write a book on this (and have to an extent here) but this is in one of the larger, more developed economies in Africa that some refer to as “Africa Light”. Now imagine what is happening in African countries with even less functional governments.
I think I should stress out that my hope is not to use lisp instead of our languages of choice, but to simplify metaprogramming tasks in them with at least equally simpler approaches that lisp has.

E.g. all C constructs can be described in a set of structs. IfStmt, CallStmt, BinopExpr, etc. Generating or inspecting these on the fly could allow to create hundreds of metaprogramming frameworks, few of which could prove their best fit. But instead we locked in ugly cpp macros and C++ templates that even seasoned haskell monader hardly understands and has no tools to explain. Debugging is hard and manual, metadebugging is not even a thing, cppcheck and other code analysis tools are enormously complex and rare, apple ARC is a propietary language feature for NSObject instead of two pages of metacode available to anyone with an “int rc” in their struct. I hope that snippet above is now more clear.
This is rather crappy QA or the lack of verification of the QA process at Apple. I really hope they pick up the slack they have been forming over the past ~5 years, it's starting to get predictably bad.

You may have a sticky wax or otherwise blocked ear that was trapping the water. Wax or other buildup in the ear can cause tinnitus (and of course attenuated hearing, ranging from imperceptible to completely muffled).

It would be worth going to see a doctor and get them to check inside your ears.

You certainly wouldn't want to spend weeks thinking you had permanent tinnitus or hearing loss when it could be as simple as an ear flush. I can tell you that from experience.

How to get your first 10 customers
IntelliJ Idea + Cursive.
Is that your only requirement? In that case even my very simple one would be enough: https://github.com/ptman/urlredir
This is totally true, and I agree; I tried to guard against this at the end with the "I think this is enough to state a hypothesis, which would then need to be tested.." paragraph.

However - the same is true for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 model XC90s, and they are just one of 10 models that had no fatalities in those four model years in the study. I just picked that year and model to get one data point for mileage to compare; the other model years of XC90 have similar sales, so the same applies.

So, while you're right, I don't think it's an entirely useless comparison; it indicates there could be something here, which could then be used to state a falsifiable hypothesis, something like: "Similar cohort drivers would be safer in <one of these ten models> than in a Tesla.".
Have you seen some of the drivers out there? Next time you’re in a parking lot take note of all the cars in terrible condition with scrapes and dings all over.
Typescript is a language that compiles to es5. Your comment makes it sound like typescript somehow makes an old runtime support new features.

At my last job I wrote a build system that build maybe 30 or 40 executables from several hundred source files. Sometimes when I'd run make -j with no constraint my desktop environment would crash.

It turned out that the OOM killer was triggering because I was filling up memory with compiler invocations.

I was really proud of that bug.

Companies in Japan have zero expectations that students know anything and will train them from scratch anyway. The rely on the university to make the selection to ensure they don't hire just anybody, but college in Japan is mostly a waste of time (necessary to get the paper) in terms of skills you get compared to any good college in Europe or the US.

I very much look forward to the day when ActivityPub becomes more pervasive in platforms...beyond websites/apps that interact directly with other sites/apps and other use-cases, ActivityPub should be a boon to comment systems.

Another possible source of unexpected extremely loud noises: cleaning things with compressed air. If you blow it through a small orifice of the right dimensions then it can act as a whistle. The energy will be concentrated at one frequency, and compressed air generally blows a lot harder than lung power.

What you are saying here is: "I really wish the PR person who wrote this chose words that would cause readers to feel as though the company empathized more with the victim."

Ultimately companies don't have feelings, their employees do. PR statements and the words chosen (unless written by an individual like the CEO) don't somehow make a company into a person and don't reflect the feelings of their employees: they are a crafted tool to create a certain outcome by instilling thoughts in the mind of the reader and/or providing legal cover.
What Apple will do with our data when provided with a legal warrant or subpoena is a very, very different question from what they will do when provided with an opportunity to monetize the same data.

The problem with Facebook is not, and has never been, that they will give the data they have to the government as part of a properly-conducted investigation into allegations of criminal misconduct. It's that they themselves will use it, and will sell it to a wide variety of other corporate entities who will use it, for a wide variety of other corporate purposes.

There may be a clue in the story we’re commenting on.

I think it's impossible to talk about "most secure" with out being more clear who you're trying to protect against.

Rogue apps, hackers, law enforcement and state actors are 4 different attack vectors that jump to mind that all have different mitigations.

We'd also have to talk about how usable you expect the phone to be afterwards; for example if to make it secure we have to disable wifi, mobile-data and apps, is there any point in having a smart phone in the first place?
This won't work for consumer facing desktop apps though.
That's what they all say at first.
They should (on closed tracks) test self driving cars with drunk and deliberately stupid drivers. Do they do this? Because if you mass market such a car you will get people using it to drive themselves home drunk.

> If you want to be sure people don't try to organize things like this in the future, this is how you do it.

If by “things like this” you mean poorly organized events, then yes, this is how we discourage companies from organizing an event like this unless they actually have done their homework properly.

Plenty of events like this get organized all around the world, go very well, and people are happy to return the following year. There’s not going to be a shortage of festivals, conventions, etc any time soon.

If these sort of lawsuits discourage the Fyre and Niantic people who have no clue as to what they’re doing, then great.

Developing on a remote server (without Jupyter and Vim)
After the initial “cost” of figuring out how to configure the services, I’m finding the complexity far less than containers.

Many concerns are removed from my application code and build and deploy systems by Lambda and API gateway.

You just throw some zip files in S3 and you have a web service.

No more image registry, container orchestration, load balancers, AMIs, autoscaling, etc.

You also get to remove things code around CORS, auth, polling etc. from your app.

I love OVH and have used them for a few years now but I'll echo your sentiments about a confusing jumble of dashboards and settings.

It does seem to have got a little better over the last year although their Openstack cloud service is made a little more difficult to manage because of their pre-paid servers discount being tied to a specific instance, it makes auto scaling difficult.

Upgrading existing OS install to new versions is a known issue. On a non rolling release distro you are better off keeping /home separate and doing a fresh install for major releases.

This takes about 30 minutes every few years with Ubuntu lts for example. You don't lose or even have to move your files.
Well, Microsoft certainly is. Apple is simply because it has all that cash.

I must have missed the part where they explained why their autopilot system drove into a concrete divider at high speed. Please can you quote the explanation you're referring to.
Using global statistics greatly skews your argument. While all these deaths are tragic, many of them could be prevented through law and regulation of human drivers.

CO2 levels have steadily declined from 3,000 ppm over the last 150 million years. How do you explain such enormous, steady decline if plants do "[not] even trap carbon"?

Further, how do you explain the Carboniferous CO2-fixation that started with CO2 at 4,500 ppm and ended down below 210 ppm?

Contrary to your claims that only bogs or permafrost could keep plant-fixed carbon in the long run, phytoplankton absorb carbon in vast quantities, and when they sink their accumulation in sea floors for millions of years is the primary origin story of oil and coal.

Scientists say that plant life has exerted and continues to exert "massive power" over geological eras. Are they in error?

man PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE(3) says:

> The stack size attribute determines the minimum size (in bytes) that will be allocated for threads created using the thread attributes object attr.

and:

> A thread's stack size is fixed at the time of thread creation. Only the main thread can dynamically grow its stack.

My understanding is that it is referring to virtual memory. The kernel would allocate a giant blob of RAM, [stacksize + heapsize + some other stuff] large. My reading of the manpage above is that the main thread can change this allocation, while other threads are stuck with what they started with.

But why would the kernel actually realize the stack portion of the allocation? Surely if I create a 1G stack child thread, it will not realize those stack pages until I actually use them?
