Also, another point here is that I'm speaking of the consequences having no longterm effect. But even in some parallel world where they would have a longterm effect, the short to midterm benefits would often still outweight it.

CFCs are a good example. They were largely responsible for ozone depletion and the primary developer - DuPont (now another player in genetically engineering foodstuffs) - was well aware of this. They lobbied the government for about a decade to prevent regulating them until they had a new, patented, replacement and then turned 180 and acknowledged they were destroying the ozone. But even had they not managed to successfully corrupt the government there and we prohibited CFCs a decade earlier, as we should have, they would have made immense profit in the time leading up to that period such that the fear of their actions being stopped were not really a concern. The fact that modern democratic governments can be broken so easily by large enough corporations exasperates, rather than creates, the problem.
Quite the opposite.

Python had deep problems that could simply not be fixed without BC breaks.
The decision was made, and in hindsight it was the correct decision by Guido and other core devs.

Look at PHP, and look what a total cluster of madness the language has become.
Humans don’t have lidar. If machine vision isn’t good enough to drive a car at human levels without lidar, then it isn’t good enough yet.

(IIUC, it is superhuman overall but with some really dumb edgecases where humans go “well that was obviously wrong, why didn’t it see the thing?”)
The syntax of C is a thing of beauty. The decision to use = for assignment and == for equality was natural, since assignment is more common than equality testing; similarly, articles are usually short words in natural languages. Algol 68 and Pascal got this wrong, and where are they now?
I've been disappointed by nearly every film adaptation of Asimov novels. I, Robot and Bicentennial Man had big budgets, but seemed like they were written by people who simply didn't like Asimov at all and wanted nothing to do with the kinds of stories he told.

So, I am extremely pessimistic, even though I would like to be excited about this news. The team behind it also leaves me feeling ambivalent. On one hand, it's a guy who has just made superhero movies (just the sort that would I would expect to destroy a thinky story like Foundation) but also the guy who made The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which was actually pretty good (though rarely as smart/deep as the cast deserved; Lena Heady, in particular).

I love that scifi TV and film is seeing such a resurgence, but I sure do hate to see my favorites get butchered.
Lobsters is down
It does sound like it was a sham. However, what is really going to make a difference now that Facebook has critical mass is people voting with their feet. This doesn't just mean attempting to remove yourself from their system but also communicating broadly how the system actually works. Most of my non-tech friends still just see it as a way to keep up to date on what is happening in the world.

It's great that so many of his thoughts live on. Where as there are lots of books that live on after people these books go through lots of editing and you're never sure how much of the direct thought of the author is still there.

But these posts are direct from Aaron's thoughts, so it's much more personal reading them.
You pay peanuts you get monkeys !!! If you want to outsource for cost then good luck with that, but if you want to do it for skill then you have options. There are really good shops who provide amazing service.These companies hire from the right schools and provide great training . Too much generalisation and lack of information in the article.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but towards the end of the bubble (2008) GS had insured (bet against) the CDOs that it had previously been propping up.

"Python 2 has been deprecated
Python 2 will be replaced with Python 3 in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) major release."

So, deprecated in RHEL 7.5 as a fair warning to everybody and replaced with Python 3 in RHEL 8.

You'd know this if you had actually read the linked release notes you mention. ;)
But then they also need to download other large files regularly. So I think their policy is to tell people to do it over wifi, and most people can do that, because their car sits in a garage or near a house all night. Seems sensible, no? Why take the risk of messing about with deltas when most customers manage fine.
I am building a rule engine quite similar to this. An AST parser will run all python DSLs and generated list of tables for INNER JOIN, then SELECT all the tables data out with filters in one pass, then run all results through the Python code.

It's quite fun.
But the file system overrides the (former) file content eventually. You don't have a guarantee you can retrieve the content anymore. You'd need to use forensic tools for that anyway. I think any jury can understand this. Setting a flag in a database column is a big difference, as the data never becomes purged eventually.
Client certs always prove that niftich is niftich. This _might_ be fine, but most people aren't comfortable giving the same credentials to their bank, Facebook, and RedTube.

This thing has a masking step, so you always prove to any particular site that you're the same person you were the last time you visited. But you don't (deliberately) present them with any clue as to who that is exactly.

There's even a deliberate choice where though you can specifically identify models of product [ e.g. "This is a Mattel Barbie brand authenticator" so that in principle a bank could agree to use this standard but they only want to accept official bank-branded tokens ] the specification says DO NOT put unique serial numbers inside the tokens, if you want to distinguish them, make sure only large runs are distinguished e.g. "Batman authenticator" versus "Barbie authenticator" but never distinguish "Steve's authenticator" versus "Dave's authenticator" so as to preserve the privacy mechanism.
The startups I worked in/with/for that had under 30 founders were all pretty hampered by lack of experience and "age". An extra 10 years of making mistakes and dealing with people in work situations would have eased things a lot.
I’m sure they do generally, but this particular update is to an entirely new navigation database.

My understanding is that the new database uses vector rendering rather than rendering image tiles and it’s supposed to be much better than before.

This is also why so many Tesla owners are so keen to switch over to it.
It is absolutely necessary. Windows will happily downloads tens of GB worth of updates (or, you know, a full OS that MS is trying to push on you) without the user being able to do anything about it.
The Satoshi example isn't very interesting until or unless those coins start moving. Short of that, over time he has done the broader Bitcoin community a tremendous service by restricting the maximum potential supply of sellable coins. His position, and that it will likely never be dumped, has acted as an anchor of some stability. It's a vast supply of coins that the market doesn't have to worry about torpedoing the price. Seeing as it appears to be permanently locked up, and the market very clearly believes that, the market is distributing his value to other Bitcoin holders (equivalent to destroying those coins).

If those coins had been fully distributed, the condition of the Bitcoin market would be that much worse presently.
Thanks! I’ll update it shortly.
The article points out that the extremely short time limit for each senator's questions made following up on anything almost impossible, but their overall poor understanding of the topic was just as significant.

It was obvious that, for a lot of the senators, the questions had been supplied to them and they didn't really understand what they were asking beyond a superficial level. They'd start out with a pretty solid question or two, but then be completely unable to follow up. Quite a few of them ended up wasting almost their whole time getting sidetracked by unimportant misunderstandings.
Side questions, but what sort of hardware & connectivity do you have for supporting that number of forums? I'd have thought at that level you would be in to duplicate hardware etc.
I think Python 3 was not brave enough, to be honest, to future proof Python:

* an optional type system without hacks was not introduced (types in comments, really?)

* the GIL was not removed or at least a solid parallelism story was not included, one that would allow Python to use all cores on a system while sharing, if needed, memory

* no true performance improving changes were made; by this I mean stuff that improve performance by an order of magnitude; Python is still way too dynamic and this basically sunk Google's Unladen Swallow and Dropbox's Pyston, at least in terms of worldwide adoption

I say this because I'm a bit worried that long term Python has locked itself into a corner where it will keep getting pushed into as the other languages develop a better developer UX. Python was a bit lucky to catch the ML train but who knows how long this will last. And Go, Kotlin, Typescript, Swift, Julia, Rust even are improving their ergonomics and edging towards Python's core competency.
This is very true. Especially if you're from a "normal" background with no safety net to catch you if things go south.

One true Scotsman fallacy at work is what it is.
I have found a way around all this, which nevertheless requires a thin layer of interaction with the walled garden, and this to put everything in a VM, expose only the things that need to be exposed from the host OS, and run a common framework across all possible platforms.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of these kinds of projects out there, mostly obscure, probably by necessity because in fact it is a lot of work to maintain such a system. But, due to the abhorrent nature of the OS vendors, sleeping at the wheel, there is no choice other than to build another, OS-like, system on top.

And where that is always happening, and still will for quite a while I hope, is in the games engine department. Sooner or later, games engines become operating systems, become hosts for spreadsheets and collaboration and other such nonsense...

All this is to say, I have my xcode builds running in a VMWare container, they're safely backed up and replaceable, etc., and all they do anyway is build the target hosts: android, ios, linux, windows, macos, etc. for the .. separated through an abstraction layer .. application.

The use of Lua, I think, is a good example. Lua on all the mobile platforms, would deflate the whole thing...
It will download the updates anyway if you only use metered connections for long enough.
I was struck that on the surface it looked quite adversarial. Senators were trying to ask fairly pointed questions (despite any technical ignorance). But underneath the surface, the two parties here have fairly well aligned goals -- less freedom on the Internet. The senators want to show that they're doing something, and Facebook welcomes regulation in order to suffocate would-be competitors with it. I'm sure they're going to collaborate to find something that works well for both of their interests. We're witnessing the death of the free internet. It was a nice experiment while it lasted.

Because they don't want to come across as pushing their own product, I guess.

He was extremely reluctant to name Fossil explicitly, although he stated upfront that he has developed similar software.

Despite this, because there is NO way to trigger a “guaranteed” maps/nav update (sounds like Elon will only allow triggering firmware updates), I might need to be without my phone for weeks on end. That’s obviously not a reasonable solution.
Even great channels like computerphile and numebrphile do it.

I tried this a while ago.

I think Conda allows installing different versions of Python (good) but it doesn't play well with Pip (bad)? Last I tried it also bundled dependencies in its own particular way (ugly)?

There's no CTO on https://movio.co/en/company/

Seems like a red flag.

I'm all for companies releasing technical blog posts, but there's some really strange framing here.

This is actually a story about how decisions get made, and how better ones can be made. Reading a company's mea cupla tells you they are well-informed and well-intentioned.

This is not a story which presumes good decisions were made and "the (tiny, startup) database company went bust". That's their framing. Yikes.
Well Apple Music is available on Android and you can also access it via iTunes on Windows. Current Apple original video content is accessed via Apple Music (and third party movies via the iTunes store) so it’s probably going to be one of those options.

Personally I pay €15 per month for an Apple Music family plan because at the time it was cheaper than Spotify and it works well enough for me. Hopefully Apple’s new video services becomes part of that same subscription but with the mess of their iCloud storage options I won’t hold my breath.

Did you read the article?

"I call it the overdramatic worldview. It’s stressful and misleading. In fact, the vast majority of the world’s population live somewhere in the middle of the income scale. Perhaps they are not what we think of as middle class, but they are not living in extreme poverty. Their girls go to school, their children get vaccinated. Perhaps not on every single measure, or every single year, but step by step, year by year, the world is improving. In the past two centuries, life expectancy has more than doubled. Although the world faces huge challenges, we have made tremendous progress."
I would write these as

a = b = (c == d)

and

a = (b == c == d)

respectively. And I think it would make sense to have a syntax rule that strictly enforces parentheses around truthy expressions used in such contexts.
I believe writers from the Guardian would sooner hand over control of the United States to the EU rather than try to understand why the US does things differently; but I think this question bears repeating: ethically, what has Facebook done wrong?

Understanding the full context of this hearing is vital to your opinion on the matter. I'm nobody with an outsider's perspective, but to me Facebook has made very few errors in bad faith. This whole uproar has been about Facebook's well known (or, what I once thought was well know, I guess) practices as a data and advertising platform. We know Facebook cooperates with governments around the world to produce data on its citizens. We know what can happen with our data if we _let_ it fall into the wrong hands.

I started using Facebook when I was 13 in 2007. (As a side note, I think Facebook should not be sharing data about minors to any parties.) I filled out a fair few questionnaires and I may have even participated in "Your digital life" somewhere along the line. At that time I started using Facebook it was providing an interface for establishing informed consent (basically their OAuth flow), to the extent at which it was reasonable for them (which to this day extends beyond the requirements of the law in the US as far as I know.) I consented to sharing my data with the 3rd party, which was essentially a license for that party to own that data. I knew that, and I did it anyway because I couldn't predict the ramifications of its collection and aggregation by a hostile party.

I think the people who are most upset about this whole controversy are the ones who blame it for Russia's Active Measures.

In my opinion, the solution isn't a GDPR-esque approach. I think we have to teach people why data is valuable and how it can be used against them. This is important for both creating an intellectual barrier to the efficacy of propaganda and so that people can make real, informed decisions about their privacy so that when they're asked if they want to share their friends' birthdates and phone numbers, they know what their answer should be.
"My writing isn't bad, I just follow different conventions."

Here's a simple example:

- Eve has a repository, Alice and Bob have access to it. Eve goes on vacation and nobody commits to "master"/"trunk".

- Alice makes a branch "alice-fixes" and creates commits on it.

- Bob comes and creates a branch "bob-features" from some point from "alice-fixes".

- Bob then merges "bob-features" into "master" and deletes it.

- Alice gets fired and her branch is deleted without merging.

In git, you can't see that some of the commits in the history came from "alice-fixes". Fossil, on the other keeps track of branch names and _changes_ in commits:

When Alice created her branch: -trunk +alice-fixes
When Bob created his branch: -alice-fixes +blob-features
When Bob merges his branch: -bob-features +trunk

https://imgur.com/a/yRxAD

You can't delete this information, because it's recorded in the commit artifacts. You can't delete branches — you can only close and hide them (you can also apply edits to commits by adding "edit" artifacts [don't remember what the are called], but the history is preserved, not modified.)
I would not call "hg log -r tip" a lot of arguments.

Also, on the git/hg debate, I feel I've had problems (like the stash your modification and redownload everything) more often with git that hg. I mean perhaps it tells something about my capability to understand a directed acyclic graph, but hg seems less brittle when I'm using it.

Git main target is Linux. Obviously. Performance on the truly secondary platform was not relevant and it is mostly caused by slow lstat call.

Instead Mercurial uses additional cache file which instead is slower on Linux with big repos. But happens to be faster in Windows.

And the octopus merge is used by kernel maintainers sometimes if not quite a lot. That feature is impossible to add in Mercurial as it does not allow more than two commit parents.
Ah. Still weird to say that "Python 2" is deprecated as of RHEL 7.5 when both the installation frontend and yum use Python 2.7.5, and Python 3 isn't even on the installation media.
