So if Google has distilled someone's emails over the years into "closeted homosexual with a deeply repressed leather fetish", that's not an invasion of their privacy as long as they throw away the source materials?
My question was regarding the ForkLift app but happy to file one for Marta!
It takes quite a bit of tweaking to get JetBrains IDEs to work like other macOS applications. Even AppCode has some issues there.
They have to have the full goalie gear on in advance and for the entire game. You'd be sacrificing a skater for that game. It's not like baseball, where some non-catcher on the roster is considered emergency catcher (generally anybody bilingual and with past catching experience).

I saw this happen in pro roller hockey (RHI) where the San Jose Rhinos' then-GM (but previously a champion goalie) had to sign himself to a 1-day contract and dress for a game.
Are you blocking trackers with something like ublock?
I would need to see something about how much electricity they're talking about here. I am not seeing a way to do this with less than the electricity you got from burning the fossil fuels in the first place (and inevitably, somewhat more). The only way I could see this being useful is if at some point in the future we are no longer burning fossil fuels for electricity, and we want to get the CO2 back out of the atmosphere. But, you know, turning them into living trees is not a bad way to do that, and it already exists...
> how much we screwed things up in other places, so we don't want more people to do it

Dunno. Look at EEU; all the garbage that was known not to work in WEU was thrown into it instead of giving them the newest, safest and cleanest tech. Also pressuring them to cut their forests and sell raw wood for cheap to WEU, Ethiopian-style. Do you think Africa will fare better?
Pilots have extensive aviation training, the general population thinks of "autopilot" as a thing that will automatically pilot your vehicle. What did Tesla think would happen?
> DSLR killer

> "Their lenses are impressive, but they’re not going to magically transform smartphone photos into DSLR-quality images."

Is this just paid content?
You’re not alone in thinking this.
Plus you're on the ice for the entire game rather than one 40-60 second shift at a time (with no chance for a rest in the penalty box, either).
Political arguments inside Google have gotten so bad that employees formed group
I would put that under "environment". An environment that is always expecting you to make heroic efforts and take away from your work life balance isn't worth it. That seques well into my personal priority breakdown. The three most important things personally to me are:

Health - if I'm not healthy mentally and physically nothing else matters. I'm no good to my family and my finances are going to suffer.

Family/Friends - at the end of the day I would rather get a new job than be forced to get a new wife because I'm spending too much time working.

Career/Finances - I've got to work to live but I can't live to work. Your company will never be loyal to you - you are just resource and so are they.
Am I the only one that thinks that drivers with auto-pilot and back-up drivers for driver-less cars should be ready to drive at any instant? As an engineer, I'm seeing these features as beta at best.
No I am not. I was interested in if people would click the bottom links and I have got quite a few events so far. I wonder if there is a way I could detect if google analytics is blocked and just fire the window location change.

Edit:

I added a check to make sure google analytics is not blocked, it should work for you now.

Thanks for letting me know.
Not to mention I don't recall him really calling himself a "scientist" in any formal sense, but my exposure to him has always been tangential. He was the "Bill Bye the Science Guy" in his original show, and afterwards I've always seem him explained as a science advocate.

I mean, what's a scientist anyway? If it's someone in constant pursuit of knowledge, does a constant reading of new material to learn more count?
I imagine Tesla will make this argument in court. California is a comparative negligence state, so they can claim that some percentage of the negligence should be apportioned to him since he knew that the autopilot didn’t work great in this location.

I’m not saying this is a winning argument, especially since he did so much to bring it to their attention, but just that Tesla would be expected to raise it.

Of course, they’ll probably try to settle this quietly and hope that everyone goes back to worrying about the Uber self-driving fatality...
If we add that up with the lack of control from governments and Facebook attempts to solve the issue, we have a ticking time bomb. The only positive, Galup says, is that services like the ones on offer from Cambridge Analytica are prohibitively expensive for most political parties in Latin America.

In this case, the only thing saving elections in the region from outside corrupting influences may be the greed of those same corrupting influences.

Jesus, that’s rough. We’ve been screwing with elections South of our border for generations, and now we’ve de facto privatized it! We have a talent for cultivating blowback, and I really hope that FB doesn’t become the new face of that story. I guess Bosworth would just shrug and point out that this is all good, and if Americans are subject to potentially lethal backlash it’s just growing pains for FB.
Thank you, I can't even keep track of the option names for long enough to properly curse them. I wonder if there could be a kind of POSIX schema for similar options across utilities, such as

-o fieldseparator=,

-o fieldkeys=2,1,3

which could be used by any program whose capabilities require such a specifier, could be parsed from config files and environment variables, and aliased for reduced verbosity.
Do you think you can be a good programmer?: Your journey to become one
There are definitely times when the victim is to blame - in this case I think it's too early to assign blame to anyone (or anything?) so if your warning was against speculating on the cause of the crash, I'm in agreement.
Used to be able to do it with Microsoft Groove via OneDrive, I moved to Amazon when MS cancelled that. I generally avoid Google and Apple products.

I'll probably end up reviving a Plex server and setting that up, it was just nice to be able to mix streaming services with owned music in a transparent manner.
Here’s what I just realised, while doing the washing-up. The people reading this are all capable of rolling their own solution or using some esoteric Unix-only MIT-licensed command line doohickey. That’s fine. Go for it.

Your family and friends, however, are not. They need advice. They need your advice. And your advice should be that they use 1Password.
For those that saying this will take energy, this is a means of storing and concentrating enormous by diffuse renewable energy resources. Of course it's highly endergonic, but that's not the point.
A 14-year old opinion based on a 26-year old experiment.

C++ has evolved tremendously since. There are better arguments.

(and I say this as a C developer who doesn't believe C++ is the right answer)
npm has namespacing https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/scoped-packages

Command+Shift+/, then type your command?
I believe the accident happened on US 101, which is a multi-lane highway with 5 or 6 lanes at the spot where the accident occurred. How many of the trips Tesla is citing occurred with the vehicle in the same lane as this guy? Comparing apples to apples would probably greatly reduce these 85,000 / 200 per day figures.
You're mostly right, except that trees are now understood to not be a great way to sequester carbon: They eventually grow old and die, and the carbon in them is released as they rot. Over (non-geological) time trees are net carbon neutral.
According to what I know, in case of desktop applications, the revenue drops almost to zero, unless you have a Free and Pro versions. "Free edition" then lacks almost all features that make the product competitive, and it's not really good.

It's reasonable, though, if your potential user base is totally different. For example, IntelliJ IDEA has a Community edition that lacks enterprise frameworks support, but that's not a problem for "single users" because they basically don't do any enterprise. But it looks like it won't work for Marta.

So I'd rather choose the Sublime Text strategy (though I think that Sublime costs too much).
you can tell that there can be a _huge_ difference in skill

I would say that the huge difference is in speed and size rather than "skill" (puckhandling, etc.).

If you want to see scary-fast hockey, go to an NHL training camp where everybody is fresh and rested, and half the players are fighting for jobs.
The problem is that that's not how human cognition works. If the auto-pilot is working well your brain will inevitably become accustom to the lack of stimulus. Ironically I think that these systems have a kind of uncanny valley type area where they are probably safest when the auto-pilot is poor or great, but not in the middle.
If they make estimates like us, software developers, this is likely 50 to 100 years :-)

The real revolution is that we won't have to drill oil and everybody will be able to make fuel from the air anywhere in the world. The economic and political consequences will be huge.

However this process doesn't seem able to reduce greenhouse gases in the air. They say the fuel they get is carbon monoxide, methane, ethylene.

Methane burns like this: CH4 + 4 O2 = 2 H2O + CO2.
The process to create that methane from CO2 probably starts with one molecule of CO2 because there is only one C in CH4, so we had one CO2 and we end up with one CO2.

Carbon monoxide burns like 2 CO + O2 = 2 CO2.

Ethylene burns like C2H4 + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 2 H2O.

They also seem to preserve the number of total CO2 molecules around.

To really reduce the CO2 in the air we should find a way to turn it into stone, something like this plant in Iceland https://qz.com/1100221/the-worlds-first-negative-emissions-p...
"...estimate that a grand bargain would allow the building of roughly 411,000 new private housing units over 10 years, as well as generate some $54 billion in extra revenue for the MTA during the same period."

Thats a lot of money for the MTA.... it ends being about 12-15k per apt, which is chump change for NYC standards.

Too bad the MTA is a semi-corrupt organization, that can't build efficiently enough.
Came here to say this. It's unfair to start talking about autopilot mishaps in this case, and what this family is saying, etc. When there is NO evidence yet as to whether autopilot was engaged.

Further more.. if the barrier was already hit previously by another car, as the reason why it was collapsed prior to the Tesla crash, this may simply be an area where the road is not designed very well and causes many human error in that location. This happens all the time. In fact, road design is a significant cause of vehicle crashes.
Aren't many AI methods also inherently probabilistic? That would make it by definition impossible to definitively explain any particular behavior.
You can study on the job. It's, in fact, the best way to study. Even if you're using technologies you already know, there's almost always something you can learn on the job. If not, switch to a job where you're not learning.

Also, achieving results is not done by working long hours. It's done by avoiding unnecessary work, by prioritizing. My experience, and that of others who work less than 40 hours a week, is that we become far more productive as we developed the relevant skills. E.g. https://lobste.rs/s/hvjwd6/how_become_part_time_programmer#c... talks about it.
LA to NYC is the distance of London to Poti, Georgia.
Ok, that's a good confirmation that it's the right approach. Sorry I don't have a timeline for you but we'll get there.
In Texas, I've seen crushed barriers remain collapsed for weeks on end. Either that or they are just hit again right after being replaced. Which tells me, it's a poorly designed road and causes confusion for drivers. Which in fact may be what this Tesla crash turns out to be.
Dunno about that. I type pretty fast (don't have exact numbers to back that up, just other people's comments)
But regardless of that, typing two characters that are on opposite sides of the keyboard and each use a separate hand is, for me, pretty much error free. I make mistakes when letters are closer and using the same hand.
> You can't expect new technology to be safe.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I expect all of the technology in my mass-produced car to be safe, where safe is defined as “will not steer my vehicle into a barrier at freeway speeds.”
Many places with <=25mph speeds have pedestrians, and they're a lot more delicate than vehicles are. Drivers aren't the only ones at risk.
Thanks. I am always willing to try new things.

For c++ I just write what I need if I can’t find an api I like.
I would suggest not working in the evenings for a while. You'll do much better if you take a break and go do something completely different.

When I didn't have a kid I took liberal arts classes at Harvard's adult education school in the evenings. Very different kind of intellectual challenge, and lots of fun. Turned out to be useful for programming too, but that wasn't the goal.
Extinction in the long term is pretty much guaranteed for any large animal that doesn't evolve the capability of getting off this planet, or an alternative method for surviving huge rocks falling from the sky.

As it stands humans have the best shot at doing this. Perhaps we'll manage to save the giraffes as well and take some of them with us.
>> I never understand this “If you’re so worried, take action” argument.

I never understood the lazy people of the world who want someone ELSE to make everything better for them. The greater your concern, the more likely no-one else cares more about it than you.

Saving a copy of rare footage on Youtube is literally a couple clicks and letting it save in the background while you sit on your butt watching it.
You’re missing my point, which is that there have been radical cultural shifts in the past 50 years which have completely transformed expectations about sex, relationships, family life, careers, etc.

The old pattern might have had less infidelity (though I wouldn’t be surprised if available data about past prevalence of infidelity is inaccurate and unreliable), but it also had many other severe social problems, some of which have improved substantially between 1970 and today.

A culture (and the laws, mores, economic relationships, etc. which enforce it) isn’t a simple system that you can poke in a particular way and get a clear and simple result out.
There is no evidence autopilot was engaged in this crash yet.
I think we get too caught up in the terms and appearances of the discussion. If you don’t know whether there is any depth behind a statement, why not probe rather than reject out of hand? As it is, you’re literally saying “I don’t know what you’re actually trying to say but it is superficially reminiscent of something I find disagreeable.” Just because someone is using terms and abstractions outside of your background does not mean they’re meaningless. The fact that scam artists and charlatans peddling pseudoscience try to co-opt scientific terms and outward appearances does not mean that science itself is nonsense, though someone with no background in science might be unable or unwilling to distinguish between them. And likewise the fact that many scientific models and abstractions that were popular in the past were later shown to be inaccurate or to be carrying fallacious baggage along with them does not mean that they weren’t useful steps toward a more refined model and a deeper understanding. Instead of rejecting discussion on the basis of superficial differences, why not look for the similarities between your abstractions and try to use that to build understanding? You may be surprised at how well your models map to each other, and in what you can learn (or teach) from the places where they don’t. Eastern traditions had thoroughly developed the basis for a safe and effective method for coping with mental disorders (which we now refer to as mindfulness) long before psychologists in the West were jamming ice picks into people’s eye sockets and calling it treatment. Just because someone’s terms and abstractions don’t easily mesh with your own does not mean that they cannot describe the same reality with varying levels of fidelity, and just because some parts of a tradition are found to amount to spurious (or even actively harmful) nonsense does not mean there’s no value to be found in it (early psychologists produced a huge amount of unscientific drivel and ruined a lot of people’s lives, but the application of rigor to understanding human behavior was a virtue in itself that ultimately led us to deeper understanding).
I've heard that external GPUs have too much latency to be that useful for a lot of applications.

What I'd like to see is a Mac with a nice big fat Nvidia GPU. Why can't I buy a Mac with a 1080 ti? My suspicion is that Apple wants to get into the GPU game themselves, and bring some of the expertise from their mobile GPU team to laptops and desktops.

That'd be great, if they actually released something competitive. So far, they haven't, and Mac users, who would love to pay for better technology, are left out in the cold as a result.
I think this is a key point. SLOC is going way up.

It's sort of natural - it's "why not". We can afford to have more SLOC than ever before. Why bother to try to reduce it, that's not a priority, our priorities are features and fixes. It becomes too much to really understand and manage, and then it's all automated checks and automated tests.

It's very hard to get the average/common developer to spend time thinking about how we can remove stuff, clean stuff up. And managers don't want to pay them to do that. In some places it eventually becomes a big problem, and then it's time for a big rewrite. Most software is throw-away. Website front-ends, mobile device drivers, etc ... mostly thrown-away roughly every year. It's the relatively rare and stodgy classic open-source stuff that's re-used (with minor updates) for decades. OK, I'm getting off-topic ...
Physics is applied Maths, of course they build on each other. History and historical knowledge builds on other things, geography most obviously, but primarily on itself. It’s easier to learn and remember history if you already know some. But having studied history it’s quite obvious that at an undergraduate level it builds on itself much, much less than something like Math or Physics. The degree to which upper level courses depend on lower level courses is minimal.

Different fields differ in how much they are built on mental models and how much they’re just a grab bag of connected facts you have to know and learn. Biology has more disconnected you just need to know it stuff than Chemistry.

It also means they don't have significant representation of all driving conditions on the stretch, placement of sun, overcast, lighting conditions at night, traffic, weather, etc. I can imagine at least a dozen very distinct conditions, and many more subtle variations. 85k isn't very large to get good coverage of all conditions and generalize from them.
If it’s not safe you shouldn’t be selling it.
Would that thing return precisely the same output for all possible inputs as the new Linux max()? I would imagine that even if the answer was yes, it would also require quite a few provisos.

To be honest, I'm just a bystander here but I did actually find the C based max() presented easier to appreciate than the C++ one you present here.

The C one looks more like a maths proof: build the argument ... et voila. It also does not have comments inline because it is a sort of comment. The C++ version has two inline comments, one of which is incorrectly formatted (space or no space after indicator) and the second one seems superfluous because it uses code to describe code. The C++ version, after you strip out the comments, looks very concise. If it does the same job then good stuff. After that we are down to whether x,y is a better choice than a,b. On balance I prefer a,b for arbitrary inputs and x,y etc for functional dependent - so the C++ example wins here for me.
My opinion: EVs, self-driving or directed, need an ejection mechanism for their batteries. Petrol has the advantage that it may ignite, where batteries are almost guaranteed to when damaged. Ideally, it would be an active system (launching the batteries no more than a meter away) - but that could fail under the conditions which caused the damage to the batteries. An alternative would be a passive system made of materials known to melt when exposed to a lithium fire - providing a few centimeters of separation from the cabin. Either way, the current situation is not ideal.
Just carry the one a few times. You'll be fine
This was 14 years ago. In that time

* C++ has advanced considerably, and features like constexpr, lambas, unique_ptr, etc make writing code easier without runtime overhead.

* The C Compiler that Linux uses, is now written in C++

* Clang tidy checks make it relatively easy to keep problematic C++ features out.

The fact that C++ is largely a superset of C means that just like GCC did, there can be a gradual migration of code.
This protects against a tremendous amount of local and ISP level DNS request collection which is great; however, we ultimately need a zero-trust DNS system. KPMG auditing Cloudflare provides security through bureaucracy/obscurity which doesn't help.
Speaking of which, back before the NHL took over all team website architecture with common branding, the Capitals were infamous for having the best website.
The best case with a clip-on lens is that image quality and light transmission don't get much worse than they were before. The only thing you can really achieve with something like this is a different focal length (or focus distance range).

Smartphones need more sensor area to compete on noise performance and dynamic range. No aftermarket accessory can help with that.
I have an IPv6 address that has never changed. My IPv4 address changes fairly often. The DHCP servers most definitely log the end-point MAC which can be tied directly by the ISP to my modem and router behind it. It's fairly easy to trace this stuff, if somewhat impractical.
Yeah I know about that, I wanted to play around with the links in the bottom and see what got clicked the most. I added a check to make sure google is loaded, can you try again?
I don't either. But I do want things like that to be more eyebrow raising, instead of everyone just assumes they're making a joke.

Pedal that went to the floor and then fixed itself probably mean you lost a brake pad and now you're using the Piston/caliper to stop (it should make grinding noise and your rotor / Piston / caliper won't last long)

I'd get this fixed, if I'm right you're going to lose half the braking power of your car soon. (Pretty much all cars have a dual braking system, if shit happens you lose one front and one rear brake but not everything)
So, I see a plugin API for this, as well as a sample Swift plugin: https://github.com/marta-file-manager/HelloWorldPlugin. How are you making this work? As far as I know, creating plugins in Swift is a bad idea because trying to load two of them with incompatible runtimes (a likely possibility, since Swift doesn't have a stable ABI) would cause bad things to happen.
