I think the way the question was worded raised my eyebrows a bit. It left me thinking that "sharing socially" would be turned into "let's include this social sharing widget that will track our users" (which always turns me off of a product) vs "let's make sure a shareable link works a single (or multiple) times for people who have the link".
Sometimes when I find myself stressing or procrastinating on something I'm supposed to implement, I eventually realized that I've semi-consciously told myself that the task would be "easy" (e.g., "this will only take an hour or two"), and it's become apparent that my internal estimate is wildly off. In effect, I've told myself how things "should" be, but reality has chosen not to comply.

At this point, it helps me to step back, dismiss my prior estimate, and look again with fresh eyes. Break the problem down into tiny pieces and ask myself, being as realistic (i.e., pessimistic) as possible how long each part is really likely to take. That's kind of hard, because you're marking to market and realizing your paper losses. But it can actually be quite motivating, because now you've got a whole new game, a game you actually now have a chance to win.

(Along these lines, I also think you should call off your demo.)
I'd prefer to give a reference to how risk-taking while involving others is an undesirable trait. When I mortally hit a motorcyclist, even without a fault of my own, I might feel guilty the rest of my life. So indirectly, the irrational risk-taking of others is involving those who are trying to act responsibly.

So, I suggest to take the risk-taking elsewhere: go climb a mountain, do base-jumping or take the motorcycle to a racing track (bonus: real competition!). But leave other motorists out of your game.

No, it's accounting for the large numbers of people involved.

For clarity: people claiming Universal Credit will have been compelled to apply for work at Amazon, and will have had their benefits cut if they had refused to apply. And, once employed, people face a minimum 6 week wait before they can apply for benefits if they leave Amazon, and that time is extended if they chose to leave or were fired.
He would have revised his economic modeling I mean, not his historical argument which is still sensible to me, albeit potentially irrelevant.

I dont think the reserve army makes any sense in todays world. But it did in his were labor was so interchangeable that people migrated for labor in masse all the time. I dont think out of work janitors put a lot of pressure on software engineer jobs. That unemployment in general drops wages, or that full employment increases wages, is a much older concept than Marx's.
Hey, I saw the post that got the ball rolling on Electrino and I've been meaning to reach out to you. Do you have any tips on where to start on porting Electrino to Linux?

Ah, yeah. In that case, there is definitely a little hurdle to jump to make links to the results work, for sure.

It's big in historical fiction, as well. Patrick O'Brian goes on at length about burgoos and wine, and soused hog face, and suet pudding, not to mention the infamous toasted cheese that Killick is always whipping up in it's special sterling silver chafing dish.
I am guessing the author would say that you are supposed to only use integer amounts. Amounts are measured in cents, so $15 is `Dinero({amount: 1500, currency: 'USD'})`.

It is a serious problem that `Dinero({amount: 0.1})` doesn't immediately throw an exception, though—if you design a library that horribly breaks on non-integer inputs, you must reject integer inputs loudly and immediately.
Everything in that series is over-described. The whole series could have been a trilogy.
Maybe a 1 minute delay between attempts 3 and 4. And double the time for each failure? And permanently lock after 6 attempts? Or make this configurable? I have gotten sloppy with passphrase entry more than three times in a row, so getting permanently locked out seems like a high penalty.

Brad seems to be invoking Paulo Freire. Whether he is conscious of Freire’s work or not

The themes of yesterday conflict with the themes of tomorrow as society exists in a period of transition

Freire referred to it as an epoch where new themes have the chance to take over

My guess is we’ll end up in the same spot: rich elites pushing their theme of “insure my wealth and power” while the majority do the actual work
I always find this an odd reason to be against usable features. I have inherited codebases in extremely confined languages as have I inherited codebases in very permitting high-level languages Python, and never have I though "Thank good this language decided to restrict its reach in order to confine the programmer to a smaller subset which made it harder for him to mess up."

Often have I though "My good, if only the language had better supported what the programmer is trying to implement himself through horrible hacks, then I wouldn't be sitting here trying to wonder exactly what mistakes he made that casuses everything to crash inexplicably."

I don't understand why we're going around in circles on this, but the author could afford to make the payments. According to him, the net cost was approx 60k over 10 years, split between the price to buy his ex-wife out and the after-rent operating costs. I don't believe bankruptcy courts are going to help with a payment this person could make without particular difficulty, even if it comes with plenty of regret.
You have to do this with subway construction anyways, because New York ended up boring relatively close to the surface. If you're boring twenty or thirty feet (eight to ten meters) down you're still in the danger zone of misplaced utilities.

Going deeper is possible but does have drawbacks; access shafts must be deeper and it takes a longer time for people to move between platform and street level. New York's older cut-and-cover sections also do not deal with ventilation systems, because regularly installed grates to the surface essentially use the piston effect to circulate air in and out of the system.
My guess is that the difference in speed is mostly due to hardware, not the browser.

Apple hardware benchmarks well beats Android hardware: http://browser.geekbench.com/mobile-benchmarks

Given Safari can optimise for a single GPU target (which is also probably faster), it is likely the speed differences are not due to the browsers per se.

That is not enough.

Converting an amount to cents, e.g: $1.99 becomes 199 cents, will help you only briefly.

As numbers become larger or you have successive divisions, numbers will start to suffer from issues such as absorption. Then you may also suffer from issues when comparing numbers, since floating point equality is different.

e.g:

> 1e16 -1
10000000000000000

Note that this code should output 9999999999999999. But it doesn't because of absorption. In this case, "multiplying by a few thousands" makes this situation more likely.

Lack of humility. Over the course of a long career, you will (must) discover that many of the things you learned early on aren't so, or at least don't apply in some situations.

The major issue seems to be that construction unions do not negotiate with the public authorities paying for it, but the construction contractors, and the contractors are more than happy to just pass along the cost and pad their margins. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

Most (all?) famous people end up being understood as a caricature of themselves. It's like the urge to stereotype, we're limited creatures and try to understand things in simplifications.

There has to be enough good stuff within that leader to overcome the negativity and create the positive result we all rely on every day.
The problem identified in the article seems to point to the OTS inventory system, which was a Whole Foods initiative. Amazon doesn't seem to know much about it (which may partly be the problem), but it isn't evidence against Amazon per se.

Ridiculous, thats not how unions work. Look at the history of argentina, where unions have constitutional protections, and tell me thats what help grow the economy.

Unions can only raise a workers wage in two ways: by increasing productivity (which they seldom do) or by restricting the amount of workers.

Second Avenue Subway construction lasted a decade and the stations still had to be built as cut and cover (you do need access shafts to the stations).

In light of that cut and cover sounds downright peachy.

Perhaps. The number 35 is a US factor, but similar orders of magnitude can be seen on the Dutch roads (factor of 22 if I recall). On Dutch roads, we have mandatory motorcycle training, obligatory helmet wearing and relatively save drivers.

All I am saying is: it's fun to enjoy a sport, I get it. As a top-roping climber, I also empathise with the thrill of adrenalin. But I just did the numbers: an average motor-cyclist will have a 6% chance to be involved in a serious motor vehicle accident in his lifetime, causing extreme trauma. 50% of those accidents involve other drivers. Think of them. They did not choose for cyclists driving 200 kph while overtaking through the middle. Did that cyclist take that other driver into account when he lays there on the tarmac? Did he take into account the years of psychological trauma he caused by his reckless behaviour?
The sentiment behind COPPA is understandable, but the practical logistics never made sense to me. It basically makes every website that has any kind of account feature add a box that says "Are you over 13?" and if you click "No," then you get redirected to a page that says "Sorry you can't use this website" or a search engine.

So it takes about two seconds for a kid to realize, "Hey, if I tell the truth, I can't use this website. But if I lie about my age, I'll get in and nobody'll be the wiser."

Maybe it works for babies, but I'm pretty sure kids are smart enough to figure out how to get past it by the time they're 7 or 8.
As someone who was in the UES a lot, right in the area where 2nd ave construction was happening, I can't imagine cut and cover being much worse than what they did there. Constant explosions, tons of dust, a lot of restaurants had to close because no one would go there.
> They will then deobfuscate two strings that they use together with LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to obtain the address of the QueryFullProcessImageName function from the Windows kernel32.dll library. You can already kind of see where this is going.

The wordiness and begging the question is highly suspect. Any [Windows] developer who reads this should know how to enumerate processes, find their binaries and hash them (without having to "deobfuscate" and other scary words for non-technicals).

No working set information is included in the hash (not that it would be much use) and so the leakage of information here is extremely low. The author then complains about the hashes being sent over an "insecure protocol" but, suddenly, all information regarding which protocol is missing - that would have been genuinely useful to know (unlike the prior wordiness).

Private US money didn’t just build NY subway lines, London’s Central Line was also built by an American.
If one takes out all of the defensive posturing (entire paragraph explaining that Twitter, LinkedIn, Amazon, and Google all do the same thing), and the intentionally simplified (cookies, which are identifiers that websites use to know if you’ve visited before), we are left with this:

Facebook tracks virtually every website you visit, as well as usage data from many apps, even if you aren't logged in to facebook or don't have an account. We use this data, and tie it to your identity whenever possible, so we can charge advertisers more money.

You still need access shafts. New York builds subway stops that have access from the sidewalk; purchasing property for that would be too expensive. And if you build entrances from the sidewalk you also need a way from a sidewalk to access tracks going in both directions. So you end up digging up the entire street anyways.

Well technically you could just defragment your physical ram to free up contiguous memory, this is also what Linux does with thp enabled.

But, unless the analysis in the OP is wrong the problem stems from Windows handing out freed huge-pages again before zeroing them, so whichever program gets the page the second time might write data to it and then have it wiped a moment later, which sounds like a plain bug to me.
> What would be your reaction if I suggested everyone should watch videos instead of read books?

Videos are just another useful tool for learning; they don't obviate the need for books, but they're better at conveying some ideas/information than books alone.

Just like videos and books aren't mutually-exclusive tools for learning, graphical tools and textfiles aren't mutually-exclusive tools for building programs.
While not a new problem at all, this is a perfectly good application of machine learning in support of a useful feature. The article is more direct and matter of fact than you'd expect from a hype obsessed company like Apple, suggesting that an engineer is in charge of these blog posts. I'd imagine that the marketing team isn't too thrilled with something as mundane as Siri being able to recognize the device owner's voice being portrayed as an achievement when she's supposed to have solved world hunger by now, but I found it refreshing.

Thanks for sharing the comment, but it's got a number of inaccuracies. For example...

> "The problem was that OS wasn’t completely prepared for that, but clever people from Phase5 found a way - they made their own microkernel (called PowerUP, later WarpUP)"

PowerUP and WarpUP were competitors, and were the seeds for the later Red vs. Blue civil war.

I never proposed for others to consciously select for certain genes.

Especially considering that it is predominantly 16-24 yo who die in motorcycle accidents.
The main benefit from the proposed merger would be solving issues with Penn Station: you could eliminate some of the separate concourses, easing overcrowding; by through-running trains, you could also increase the number of trains serviced without having to build an expensive new station.
