Any plan you follow, make sure you learn the "new" JavaScript syntax, ES2017/ES8. I find every ES release significantly simplifies JavaScript for beginners. So make sure it's _at least_ ES6. ES7 brings little to the table, but ES8 in its new features has async/await which is huge.

Shameless plug, I write daily about JavaScript and frontend development topics on my blog https://flaviocopes.com, with a very beginner-friendly style.

I don't have prepared learning plans _yet_, but I plan to work on that very soon, certainly before this summer, as a way to navigate my tutorials and go from level X to level Y.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot! :)

Is there not something of an expectation mismatch here?

I don't expect a newsfeed to be an exact representation of everything that I'm going to find interesting, nor can it guarantee that it is never going to miss anything - the best that Facebook is ever going to do is a 'best guess'.

A good analogy might be my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist - it is pretty good, but it isn't a complete encapsulation of my musical tastes, and a lot more manageable than a chronological representation of everything that has been released that week.

What Facebook has always been missing is a low friction, invisible way to say "show less of this kind of thing", without it seeming like I am unfollowing that person, or the social baggage of it being a 'Dislike' button.

If I need any more granularity than that, it's probably more worth me contacting the person directly.
> It was intended to stop the large abusers but it just stifled small companies

It also hasn't gone in to effect yet, so I'm not sure how much stifling it has done so far.

That's the very definition of "you're driving way too fast (and if that's your only detection method, you shouldn't be on the road)".
Good data point, though they may have just not invested much in writing a good emulator, let alone dedicating some extra silicon to speeding it up. If Apple makes this shift, my strong suspicion is they’d do both.
I do it sometimes too, if there are many comments.

The new UI makes it more complex to make that choice though, because the position of the actual link isn't fixed, it is placed inline after the title.

Currently, you can browse the home page without moving the cursor horizontally (by keeping the cursor in place and scrolling, mostly).

Not anymore with the redesign.
We do not even know if we feed the pets a healthy diet because nobody cares.
Some think they know what constitutes a healthy diet for humans but there is very scarce and conflicting evidence except the grandma advice of "eat your greens". And not with big effect sizes either.

Not "be vegan or vegetarian" mind you.

The fun part is that humans are likely much more adaptable in terms of diet than other animals.
By no you mean yes? The point is that sudden braking of the car in front is easy to detect on radar, but distinguishing static objects which you must avoid from the many which you need not (signs, trees, cat's eyes, gravel) is very difficult.

That's a good way to get off the road - e.g. at night, in the snow. Seen that more than once - the previous car might be going straight because they lost traction in a curve. Do not overestimate the wisdom of the crowds, especially in a crowd of one.

It wasn't fixed immediately after release. Apparently all they did at first was:

1.) Take down site for 2 hours
2.) Require logins to access api.
3.) Get on fox news and say it's "fixed"
...
then we come to find out you can still access all data from the API once you login
"Well, which one? Some communications are harmful to third parties."

A recent example of this are the ability for conspiracy theorists to communicate news stories after these mass shootings that these attacks were staged or the victims are "Fake". This further pushes harmful propaganda that there is not a real threat to students in schools, and the "third party" children are the ones who suffer from this communication.
Migrating from Pets to Cattle for server names also means you no longer are attached to the server, so it can be replaced or shut down without any personal attachment.

That is also how I feel about Microservices these days. I may still name the service with a "pet" like symbolic name, but I treat them as cattle.

They can be split, repurposed, deleted, rewritten any day without much remorse or delay. No personal attachment.

Great question biasforaction! Snap/insta is used primarily for broadcasting your life "at" people. Our new video format is all about talking "with" your friends. We use speech to text and NLP to embed what you say in the video, that way your friends always get the message. The result is fluid communication that flows as smooth as texting, but with the personality, character and connection that only video can offer. We've then built upon this foundation in clever ways to bring you closer together with the people in your life that matter the most.

There is no evidence (known to me) that variety is actually beneficial. (Past the obvious "get known required amounts of vitamins and minerals")

There is some evidence that certain kinds of atypical diet are slightly less beneficial in terms of mortality.
(Low carbohydrate long term. Cause unknown, not CVD or cancer. Very good review, thoroughly recommended. The key word is "all cause mortality and morbidity")
And the varied (in certain ways) Western diet is also shown to be quite bad.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I like to review nutrition papers fairly and thoroughly but have never seen one on this...

China protecting their country from free roaming of foreign capital can't be considered act of trade war. That's the only way to get ahead of current leaders in any market.

On PPC you could either dual-boot or run OS9 (and 8?) apps seamlessly on an OSX desktop, which was pretty impressive.

The seamless emulation of OSX-PPC apps on an Intel processor was extremely impressive though. I remember the majority of stuff working surprisingly well with little slowdown (though this might now be rose-tinted).

I understand I need to become more accustomed to the culture that I immigrate too, but that does not mean that there are not more efficient solutions compared to "the way its always been".

As for the card reader not working, this is usually only a problem with older machines or places without a strong internet connection.

DSA-4163-1 beep – security update
I see an article that is not congruent with actual tech facts. They can warn all they want, because the precedent says otherwise. Even if you wanted to make the argument that Intel is against emulation on non-x86 systems, that’s not true - see Virtual PC for Mac, FX!32, qemu, bochs and countless 8086 emulators to run VGA ROMs on various legacy free systems (either in OS or firmware). If you wanted to make the case that efficient emulation on non-x86 is is disallowed, well, FX!32, qemu and Virtual PC all used and use JIT.

Intel’s position amounts to cage rattling and vague insinuations that efficient execution of x86 code is impossible without hardware support. That’s nice, and their ham-fisted approach already hurt customer choice in the past (Transmeta and nVidia Denver, before the later implemented the Arm ISA) but the Windows on Arm solution is completely software and not coupled to any specific Arm chip implementation.
I don't mean of marking this spot, but soemthing like
1 this is a new road, "autopilot" will not engage but collect data and add it to the map

2 after 100 or other better number of cars passed that point and the maps are updated enough AP can engage

3 if radar+camera detects something that does not match the maps it slows down and asks the human to take over, the maps are used as a way to double check what the AI wants to do.

This system will not work on small roads with few Tesla cars on them but it will prevent problems on big roads and collect useful data to add to the unit tests
Supposing I have the inspections and language injections I already use: move the ~/.PhpStorm2018.1/system folder (or whatever it's called on your box) to RAM. This will mean that the project is reindexed after a computer restart, but then searching is lightning-fast.

I agree. Facebook's News Feed is a culmination of years of research in retention and attention management. While that isn't really what most users want, it's exactly what Facebook has optimised the News Feed for.

We'd all benefit from a very different system which would structure things as we need it to, but that's sadly not what our economy incentivizes corporations to be right now.
The first two points involve the way the citizens "feel" and not is actually most productive.

As for the preparedness of a nation to handle a cashless economy during a time of war, wouldn't a electronic ledger be must safer and reliable than if the government say just started printing more money leading to inflation problems. This has happens numerous times throughout times of history during war and could be avoided with a cashless economy.
When 1.1.1.1 launched here in Spain, it was inaccessible from several major carriers. Some had network-wide routing problems to that IP address, and some had installed CPEs that included static routes to 1.1.1.0/24 and stuff like that, probably for internal purposes.

Nothing of this strikes me as odd, let alone malicious. It's such a weird IP range, I even remember having my LAN configured as 1.0.0.0/24 at some point, because who would ever use those IP addresses?

Also reminds me of when Spanish ISPs were given IP ranges by RIPE for their customers beginning with 37.* -- those had never been used, so many network administrators had them added to their bogon list, which meant for those customers lots of web pages were inaccessible. The solution was to reboot their CPEs until they got a good ol' IP address from the ol' ranges :D
The article claims that 1.1.1.1 is a joint project between CloudFlare and Mozilla. But the source it links to for that never mentions Mozilla.
Cake Solutions - A BAMTECH Media Company | Manchester (Visa, Onsite)| London (Visa, onsite) | New York (Remote avail)

Senior Scala Developers | (Senior) DevOps | SRE Lead

Until last year (2017) Cake had operated as a Scala Consultancy, helping businesses globally build Reactive, Distributed and Resilient Systems using our hybrid Agile method of small cross functional teams. We're big advocates of the tech community, and have been blogging, hosting meetups and presenting/sponsoring conferences for 5 years.

We were acquired last year by BAMTECH Media, and are now building the next-gen DTC media streaming platforms for partners like ESPN+, Disney, Riot Games, and EuroSport, as well as migrating existing partners (MLB, NHL, MLS, WWE, HBO) to our new multi-tenant platform.

Most of our current roles are at the Senior level (Scala, DevOps, SRE) so we would like engineers who have experience with functional programming (futures, category theory), DevOps who have experience with micro-service architecture (Docker, Jenkins, AWS). https://www.cakesolutions.net/careers

Well, obviously the truck driver won't be in charge of the final delivery, and if the buildings are not by any mean standardized then don't use an automated truck or do standardize that location. Simple as that.

> As It would be pretty unwise IMHO to rely on external people to "not fuck up" when handling heavy objects around a costly automated truck.

I agree that this will be an issue and the people on the ground would need to be educated. But I hope you don't think this problem is unsolvable in practice. We somehow do it for aircrafts (I don't think the pilot does the actual leg work there).
I tried an xps last year with an i7 and it was slow as well. Turns out it was thermal throttling like crazy. Returned it right away and just stuck with a MacBook Pro. Do miss all that ram though.
Note that apart from privacy issues and technical problems (Puerto Rico blackout, anybody?) numerous studies indicate that people spend less money when using cash instead of credit cards. That's one reason for the big push by the banks, shops, restaurants, and media to "go cashless".

Sorry if I was confusing, Tesla hardware seems to detect the static objects(like cans on the road) but they put software to filter some objects out, I hope we will get some logs of the crash (can people pull the logs from their Teslas or are DRMed?) If we had the logs we would know if the car ignored the object or the hardware it is just blind for some objects.
Coincidentally earlier today, from a distance, I saw a colleague browse that very article (without seeing what it was about), and the white on cyan header-bar immediately reminded me of the good, old X11 window-manager CDE[0][1].

And it made me feel really nostalgic. I actually wanted to, just for one day, switch my laptop over to it. I bet it would have been blazingly fast.

But alas, Ubuntu (and nobody else) seems to ship it any more. Seeing how building and running it from source required me to put some system-services into a insecure configuration, I reluctantly put the project away.

I guess it comes off as no surprise that I on overall hate the reddit redesign and consider it a net negative change w.r.t. usability. I generally dislike how "modern" design things they make things better by taking away options and removing features.

The "old" reddit gave you full overview of what was going on with all your activity in exactly 2 clicks. Super neat. Super efficient.

The new ... I don't even know. I'm guessing much more than 10. And it involves scrolling and modal dialogues too. Fuck it.

May the old layout remain an option for as long as I keep bother using the site.

Serverless doesn’t have to be an infuriating black box
I agree with you on that. A service such as social media (the connecting part, not the advertising part) could easily be seen as a necessary service being that we are all social creatures by design. But at this point in time it’s a massive Wild West where the laws haven’t been able to keep up with the advances in tech. So now we are stuck in this situation where every step you take is one in which you have to be very careful if you don’t want to have your personal habits exploited against you. The truth is I have been doing my best to educate the people close to me but up until very recently, with the Facebook scandals, it all fell on deaf ears. And maybe that’s another reason why I do find it so unnerving, as people are aware of these things going on but either don’t care enough and in some cases fully support their extremely private data being used on them for advertising. It’s also very conflicting because in this day and age of big data, real change could be made but all we seem to hear and experience is the opposite of positive change in this era. (I’m not normally this much of a negative guy but this topic specifically makes me feel very powerless)
