I was speaking to one of the stars of Star Trek once, and he mentioned that he'd never actually seen an episode of the show. When I asked him why, he said, "I'm not really a fan of the sci-fi genre, I prefer old Westerns".
I am shocked, truly shocked at this development. An app that collects user data and passes it on to third parties without users’ consent? Unprecedented!
I've found https://tradingeconomics.com/ to be a good source for a lot of economic indicators for various countries.
The API, though I am not a fan of the RI for one reason. It is the first JSR RI that I am aware of where the authors advice against using, it is unsupported, and intentionally low quality. All other RIs that I know of were production grade quality to ensure it met user's needs. This one was to pass a specification requirement.

- The API violates many of Josh Bloch's guidances [1], including items in Effective Java.

- Many of its features are incompatible with itself. For example, the AOP support cannot be used with loaders, writers, or listeners.

- The AOP support does not support atomic memoization (dog piling [2]) and can crash if initializing the same cache concurrently.

- The JavaDoc dictates implementation details that matched the lead's product, rather than being open ended to allow alternative algorithmic choices.

- The JSR defines an configuration API that is not suitable for production use and promotes the silent usage of unbounded anonymous caches.

- The interfaces do not attempt to feel natural alongside the Java's Collection Framework nor the direction that the language has been heading. It redefines terms, like "access", in an incompatible way.

- Despite numerous delays in being accepted, the JSR was not modified to take advantage of significant changes in the language (java.time, lambdas, CompletableFuture, etc).

- The TCK is not robust, does not check concurrency, and bugs in it languished.

- Most importantly, writing code using JCache is not enjoyable and it is often not flexible enough to solve most needs.

There are likely many more, but that is a short list that comes to mind in a few minutes.

I like the iPad Pro but for that kind of workload it seems an Android (or Windows) tablet would be a better fit.

You get mouse support for proper text selection and with ie. Termux you can work locally without the need to ssh into a server all the time.

I use an old Sony Android tablet with bluetooth mouse+keyboard this way and it has been great while travelling or for any spring time "I want to work in a park" flashes. (It is also water proof which saved it quite an embarrassing number of times already.)

Yes, but what is the evidence it's the nicotine that's damaging the heart? The heart is part of your respiratory system. Inhaling regular wood smoke damages your heart:

https://samharris.org/the-fireplace-delusion/

>There is no amount of wood smoke that is good to breathe. It is at least as bad for you as cigarette smoke, and probably much worse. (One study found it to be 30 times more potent a carcinogen.) The smoke from an ordinary wood fire contains hundreds of compounds known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and irritating to the respiratory system. Most of the particles generated by burning wood are smaller than one micron—a size believed to be most damaging to our lungs. In fact, these particles are so fine that they can evade our mucociliary defenses and travel directly into the bloodstream, posing a risk to the heart. Particles this size also resist gravitational settling, remaining airborne for weeks at a time.

And Heart disease is associated with pollution from burning fossil fuels: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/More/MyHeartandStro...
Wonder which iPad size is he using?
Ha! Excellent point.

Tesla Autopilot failing where there was a fatal car accident [video]
Odd I find hotkeys much better on Mac. They follow a more logical predictable pattern and are much more standarized. E.g. what is the standard windows hotkey for getting info/properties of an object. Never found one.

Also if an app doesn’t have configuration of hotkeys you are screwed. On Mac hotkey config is OS wide.

The command console experience on windows is horrible.

Office apps are better on Mac. Pages, numbers and keynote offer me a totally superior experience. The ribbon interface on Windows is a disaster. You spend too much tome hunt around among a zillion incompethensible icons.

In fact I do GUI design at work and use MS Office as an example of how to NOT design a UI.

Not sure why you complain about Finder. You got plenty of alternatives on Mac. I use Terminal and Finder a lot in combination and they interact with each other a lot better than on Windows. E.g. does windows have an “open” command yet?

I used the list at https://instances.social.
Yeah, the figure[1] on the side in the article seems to show something different, because there the response goes over the recursive resolver again. Maybe the text is wrong?

All seems to hinge on the recursive resolver acting as a proxy, so a direct response from ODNS server to the client stub doesn't seem safe.

> Will road markings be kept in better condition for the sake of self-driving cars, I wonder?

Don't self-driving cars already navigate these situations successfully? I would guess that Google/Waymo/GM had been testing on the stretch of interstate where the Mountain View Tesla fatality occurred.
So that was not an April 1 joke?
On the other hand, in Git there is no difference between a branch, a check-in, a shelve set and a code review (which is also a shelve set).

How nice would it be if you could just compile and run the code review yourself, reject it, and then immediately continue with your own work?

Or even better, just run both the code review and latest at the same time and see the difference, not just read it.
Once again, this is why CI is important, it acts as a final test to make sure things build and run correctly. If your deployments go through the entire CI process before going anywhere important, the source of the work (developers' particular workstation setup) is not as important.

> Are all the VM's exactly the same

Is the silicon die on your processor exactly the same as everyone else on your team? If not, you're not a TRUE professional.

> Can you 100% prove that the vm behaves identically on all the varied hardware.

No, but I also recognize that I (and many other devs) are not writing space shuttle / train control / self-driving car software that is responsible for human lives. If I were, I wouldn't be advocating for the style of development I mentioned above. That is a different situation which I imagine most people on this site are not dealing with.

> And no "professional" would consider "Everybody likes something different" is ever valid for a paying job!

What does this even mean? Of course it can be "valid" for a paying job. There are literally companies out there who offer different OSes and machines to use for a job and the developers get paid. You get to deem they are not "professional" because...?

> No problem if its a hobby project but on a project with even a small number say 5 or 6 the risk isn't worth it.

The risk doesn't lie with the number of people on a project but the scope of the project itself: basically, can human lives be impacted in a significant way if a dev screws up? Then yeah, there are better, more rigorous ways. Are you writing a web app, a desktop GUI, some CLI tool, or perhaps...the Linux kernel? Then develop on the machine you like! Have a good review process, set up CI to build for the platforms you support, and implement a good set of tests.
I wanted to post same link, the post was gone from first page much faster then other less interesting posts IMO so I am suspecting that maybe Tesla fans are downvoting discussions about this crashes.

In this case someone reproduced the bug, the blinking lights are a timed warning not related to what is on the road.

> "there’s about to be an uprising of the Buddhists, so make sure that you are armed and go to this place"

> Facebook's systems detected what was going on and stopped the messages from going through

Wwwwhaaat?! Some people may have just seen that message and interpreted it as "shit hit the fan, let's hide my family in a safe place until this cools down", even if it was intended as a "call to violence". Censoring messages like those could have just as well caused deaths because innocent people just didn't get the heads up.

Corporations should clearly define themselves as either "medium companies" and stay completely neutral to whatever flows through their platform as long as it not "explicit content" (yes, this include allowing "hate speech" as long as it's toned down, because that "hate speech" can also contain useful information, and it's not something clearly identifiable), or "message companies", in which case they can clearly take sides in conflicts, but also be responsible (legally) for their actions.

This muddy "middle ground" position that some companies take is "the root of all evil". Either let anything happen (including bad things), or pick a side, so that you can later be judged according to the side you picked. It's condescending to imagine that you're actually smart enough to "properly filter" information. You're not, or you're a tyrant imposing his value system on others.

I have more sympathy for a corporation that does evil deeds in the service of profit, than for one that interferes in "muddy" ways in social issues and prevents clarity and free flow of information. Sometimes this flow of information cause blood to be spilled, but sometimes problems get solved this way, if a society is not evolved enough to solve them in more peaceful ways. Toning down discussions and letting tensions accumulate is worse.
Right. I got a boxed mattress back in 2007 or 2008, from a place imaginatively called bedinabox or somesuch. It was a fraction of Casper price, too.
Don't you think that is counter productive if you're actively trying to improve?
Did you finish high school before 2005ish? You may remember a time when 80% of the population didn’t have pizza neck, now it feels like it’s flipping. Since I lost 50lbs in 2013 (only carried for 2-3yr, BA food), there’s been much lifestyle reflection, been pretty unplugged since then. By all means use tech, but reflect on what it’s adding and conduct accordingly. Tech’s been my hobby and career forever; so much potential to empower, entertain, and aid in universe construction—of course the tool has two sides.
I honestly don’t feel this way most of the time when doing pure FP. There are a few tools I wish were better but my code reuse is astounding, the refactor-ability is high, and it is easy to jump into unfamiliar code bases. Just mho from the experiences I’ve had.
That is absolutely normal in the high performance RC world. You even get 40C and higher rates cells. No point carrying around a heavier battery than necessary for the power required.
Most people will understand reddit if they give it a chance. Problem is that they're less likely to do so if they find the design and UX unintuitive.

I know I disliked reddit's design when I saw it the first time, and I've spoken to several people who never got into reddit because they disliked the design.
>Would LIDAR have helped, or would the presented surface area of the concrete block be too small to act upon?

from the beheading accident discussion couple years ago i remember that Tesla had radar in front. That incident back then happened supposedly because the radar was observing only low-height sector along the road surface. The concrete divider seems to be exactly the thing that the radar would see. LIDAR as well as stereo of course would see that divider easily. It seems at this point though that Tesla's autopilot is only something like single camera image recognition, probably still is or like a MobilEye.
Most people who understand how difficult it is to produce a new line of cars, or have been listening closely to what Elon has been saying pretty much expected that ramping up production would be hard and Tesla would miss their goals many times. Tesla has never delivered a car on time. But there is enormous demand for this car and they will eventually make it work. At the current run rate they are already able to produce around 100,000 Model 3 per year, and are ramping up quickly

What will happen if it stars snowing? The self driving cars will be stuck on the roads?(I mean in the future where the passenger can't drive the car back home)

Following the line is too basic for a self driving car, I remember some students having small toys programmed to drive toy roads by following the lines, and that was more then 10 years ago.

Tesla should have detailed maps of this big roads, so maybe when the maps and what the car detects do not match it should be less confident, the collision detection should be extra sensitive, the driver should be alarmed, the car should slow down, if they have problems on this big roads then they need a new kind of hardware and software to navigate any medium road.
People are so excited about Tesla that they may overlook the risks. It is responsible of the press to highlight the problems Tesla faces so people can make responsible financial decisions when buying Tesla bonds and stocks, and so Tesla is pressured to minimize these risks.
Oppo makes a great product but the thing that set them apart for me was their ability to play SACD disks. The number of players that can play this format have been dwindling and Oppo's demise is just a sign of the times. I wonder if physical media for very high resolution audio (and video?) would be as far removed a memory as sony beta or if the vinyl sales trends would imply a reversal of fates down the road, vindicating the high resolution video and audiophile crowd.

The linked pull request ( http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1804.0/00306.html ) is informative, in particular:

In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.

And they have families to feed and their income depends on thier PhD being enough of a barrier to entry that they can pay thier bills. So much human progress has been lost because the economic model is broken. We seemed to make more progress when science was restricted to a smaller group of practitioners, many of whom were wealthy enough that they could be guided by the science rather than the funding.

Maybe with graphic design, but not necessarily with acting. The death of an actor is self awareness. The last thing you want to do on stage is think about the fact you’re acting. You’re not. You’re there, you’re feeling this, this is happening. Not knowing what you look like can be very liberating.

Let your coach look at the performance and tell you what to change.

This is why Stanislavski himself, the alpha and omega of modern acting, said never to rehearse in a mirror.
