Tech giants brace for sweeping EU privacy law – TheHill
The trolley dilemma is something that people are not very receptive to in real life, because the very fact that someone presents such a dilemma leads to suspicion about the accuracy of the number of lives saved vs. destroyed.

The type of mentality that would sacrifice one life to save five is instinctively assumed by a lot of people to be the sort of mentality that would deceive themselves and/or others about the correct statistics and the uncertainty thereof. Assuming the ratio of 1:5 to be accurate and worthwhile is largely missing the real issue, in my opinion.
There's a lot more to consider than just performance when deciding whom to share your browsing habits with. Why would you choose Cloudflare or Google?

This isn't an endorsement of Quad9 or OpenDNS; I just don't know enough about them. However, the fact that Cloudflare and Google are privacy-and-security nightmares is well documented.
It's unbelievable how narrow the overton window is, and people think it's larger than it really is. There is very little separating Democrats and Republicans in 2018, at least from party officials (I believe the population is further left than represented). Voting rights, universal healthcare, public education is not a concern of any "left" wing media any longer; that ended a long time ago. "Left" wing media also helped push us into the Iraq War, helping to set the stage for American approval.
China has effectively been waging a trade war with the US for the past 20 years. This is a narrative that has not been emphasized enough. America just hasn’t responded—which I find baffling. Investment into China is difficult, you need to have JVs and IP hand overs, local companies have political advantage over foreign companies, entire industries are off limits. China is going to be the world’s largest economy soon. It’s time to take off the kids gloves and live up to their WTO promises. The biggest beneficiaries of this are the large multi nationals, not the American workers. The argument goes that the benefit is to the consumer, but if the latest 65” TV cost 50% more then everyone would spend their $1,500 for a 45” TV instead and be just as happy—maybe happier because they’d have good paying jobs. If you think a trade war is bad, imagine being a vassal state of China where the US has no industries left and their political/economic clout is so strong that we live under their rules. And discussions like this would not happen. The fact that I thought about deleting this post is actually chilling.
The unmentioned history here is memory use. In ye olden days, machines had much less memory and required more passes, simply because there was no space for all the data. So one might see a pass for preprocessing, lexing, ast generation, optimizations, code generation, etc. Note some of this exist today, ie gcc integrates with gas and flags to dump the assembler.
I wonder how Fengari does on code size and performance? I don't see any benchmarks offhand.

I'm pretty sure mantis shrimp (stomatopods) do the same thing. Apparently they're capable of smashing through the glass of aquariums if not properly reinforced.
It's not the end of Windows. The title of the article is a bit click bait-y.

Without the "we need to dominate the market and be everywhere" people pushing devs to implement feature nobody wants and have to deactivate anyways, Windows will get better for the people that love (and need) to use it.
Sinclair are a media company that owns local news stations. For the past few years, they've been feeding "must run" content (in the form of pre-recorded segments or scripts for anchors to read) to those news stations to be presented along side news.

Those segments are, overwhelmingly, right-wing talking points.
My experience is that outside of "major urban centers," Ubers are pretty thin on the ground. I live about 40 miles outside of Boston and the couple of times I've looked, there's been little or nothing available around me.
They also will never drop windows because it's probably gonna be an extremely useful platform when the next generations of devices will come up, think of AR.

The fact that they dropped the mobile market (where windows could not fit as very different hardware was involved in the beginning) doesn't mean they will miss the next shot too.

They will have an entire ecosystem up and running, and windows 10- level flexible to be tailored to whatever comes. Of course it would be crazy for them to drop it now
The article begs to differ. They fear a whole new generation of nicotine addicts. Hence my question.

Btw, do you know if schools in the U.S. sell sweets? (My school used to have a 'tuck shop' for this purpose).
I still have a Chef's Choice "TeaMate" stored in the basement. Interesting machine - it makes a samovar-style brew where it steeps a concentrate for 5 minutes and then dumps that into the pot and dilutes it with the remaining water in the tank.

Given that it takes about 5 minutes to make tea with an electric kettle it's not really worth the trouble, though.

The fact that non-relational or quasi-relational dynamic solutions already exist show there's a need for dynamism. And, I agree that SOME changes are necessary to get the target feature(s), such as dynamism, but it's logical to change as little as possible when inserting the features to reduce the learning curve.

Now, one may argue that add-ons to existing RDBMS give dynamic abilities, but as I suggested before, they are awkward and verbose. If dynamism is a primary feature one wants in an RDBMS, then the verbose approach is not desired.

I welcome other suggestions to achieve similar goals, but as of now, the D.R. suggestion seems the best balance. The goals are: dynamism as a primary feature, and a small learning curve for those already familiar with RDBMS. Go!

Junior/Middle/Senior is vague terminology, but I'll take it to mean "does what is told", "can work a little independently", "can work completely independently".

Being a senior engineer is often not about understanding the technology deeper, it's about other skills. For example, a senior engineer wouldn't need to ask which technologies to learn, because they would be able to figure it out on their own. A senior engineer would just learn these technologies when it's necessary.

At the core is ability to work towards goals: rather than someone saying "do this" and you do what you're told, you're able to figure out solutions on your own, and even more so identify problems on your own, and then work out a solution.

Knowing a "trending" or "popular" technology won't make you a senior engineer. What you do need is ability to solve and identify problems better. I talk about this in more depth in context of productivity here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2017/10/04/technical-skills-pro...
Is DNS configuration ever considered as a factor in "DNS performance"? IME as an end user, it makes a significant difference.

For example if it takes seven queries to resolve a name "A" versus two queries to look up a name "B", then in almost all cases, irrespective of the distance to a cache, looking up A is going to be noticeably slower than looking up B. Indirection is only one example. Even worse are configuations that knowingly trigger retries and wait for client timeouts in order to present a client with a particular nameserver.

Indirection and other "DNS tricks" come at a cost. IME, these are not compensated for via the proximity of a cache.
Best Text-to-Speech Applications in 2018 review
I stayed a few years for a few reasons, first because it is still a good company with a “real” product, and also because 99% of my time there was spent working on open-source (clang/llvm).
When I decided to quit, it was in part because of their open source policy.

I agree that lines should be fixed, however humans rely on things other than lane lines, and autopilots should too. When you can't see you get cues from other cars, estimated distance from both sides of the road, sign placement above your head or on the side of the road, etc...

If we need to repaint all roads to make them work for auto-driving cars, we might as well just move to one of those simple systems like where a robot follows a pre-drawn line on a piece of paper. Maybe throw some bar codes in there so the car knows where it is.

If the cars can't deal with environments that even humans can, I'm not sure what the point is anymore. I expect a self-driving car can see through things like fog and darkness better than a human.

If you mean southern Ontario like London or a small town down there, yeah 70k isn't bad. But in the GTA? With the current housing bubble? I kind of agree that this is a bit low. Especially if you want someone with experience.

My last GTA position paid $120k CAD, and I'm only seven years out of University.

That said, it's not fair to compare the two- virtual team could mean living in Orillia or Tilsonburg, where cost of living is lower.

Telcoin | ONSITE (REMOTE for some positions) | Software Engineers, Designer, Community Managers | Full-Time (& INTERNS) | Tokyo (& Paris for some positions)

Telcoin is a Tokyo-based startup focused on providing financial services to developed and developing countries using crypto tokens delivered by mobile operators.

We are hiring for our Marketing, Product and Engineering departments. Therefore looking for community managers (experience with chat community management like Telegram or Slack is a nice plus), marketing managers and creatives/designers. We are also looking for programmers on Android, and back-end programmers (we use Rust and, for the time being, Solidity for our smart contracts).

As a young but properly funded company (raised $25M two months ago), we do test our software, have a flexible vacation policy, very competitive packages including tokens and equity, enough runway for several years, and are potentially open to remote workers for some positions.

We believe in fair interview processes so we won't ask you to whiteboard your way out of a red black tree, but will make sure you can perform on the task. We also won't do more than two rounds of interviews, as we're respectful of your time.

If you're interested in financial inclusion, Rust, blockchain/cryptocurrencies, or simply want to write software that helps people send money home efficiently, please email jobs at telco dot in.

For back-end positions, some experience with Rust, fraud management, payment processors, or telecom software would be a nice plus, but not necessary.

We also welcome (paid) interns.

>Wasn't old windows desktop technology the one proven to be bad? I mean I can say this because I like windows, but people have made fun of windows bugs and viruses for three decades now.

A lot of that stuff could have been (and is now being) fixed incrementally. Lots of that tech is available to Windows desktop applications without needing to switch to UWP. Some of it is UWP only (except for a backstage pass for Edge, which tells you everything you need to know) only to push developers to the Store.
