Also, in case you misunderstood, I'm not using a camera with these devices, I am using these devices as a camera. I plug the HDMI out directly into my capture device to test capture/rendering/encoding/etc. Previously, I had to use a real camera and point it at a move to get some nice motion and color. Now, I just power on my RaspPi and use the HDMI out. Our assembly line now also uses them to burn in our devices.
As always, Zuckerberg is a lying slithering scumbag, I predict the EU will play his cat and mouse lawyer game and rewrite their law as much as need be to make it enforceable for facebook as it applies to their territory, and the fines will start rolling immediately . . . what will facebook do then ? Pull all any and all FB locations out of EU and snub them on the fines ?

I thought about this. I don't think the comparison is correct. Theranos was not delivering what was promising product-wise. Tesla is accused of hiding injuries.

I don't know the truth here, but I would be surprised if the other car companies are behaving better. That was my point: How do these reporters know that the other factories do not underreport injuries the same way? If they have never done this before, they wouldn't know. So it appears as if they picked on Tesla.
+1 for Game Maker, what an awesome educational tool. You could start with building blocks, Scratch style, then move over to code when you needed a little more power -- with a 1-1 relationship between lines of code and the blocks (IIRC), and the ability to run that code as "just another block". A wonderful gateway to the real stuff.

This seems like a good thing. Admittedly, before reading this I did not even realize companies could force employees into arbitration.

I’d be curious to hear a concrete argument saying this is a job killer. Would companies hire less employees if they could not settle with them in forced arbitration? Maybe. Seems weak, just like non-compete agreements - for which there’s very little evidence of actual harm from not enforcing them (in California).

A problem we've run into with Radar is that it only kicks in when you attempt to create a charge, and not when you attach a card to a customer.

This means that if your business model involves "try before you buy" or usage-based billing, you'd better be sure to make an initial charge, otherwise the customer might incur costs before Radar decides to block the charges.

Even if you do require an initial charge, if you allow customers to change their credit card between recurring charges, the new card could be extra risky and "fly under the Radar" until the first charge attempt.

Are there any plans to offer fraud risk and blocking when attaching a card to a customer, or will still be limited to just blocking charges? With Stripe's new emphasis on recurring billing, it seems like this would be important.

We currently see Radar as a liability for us. It might block the occasional fraud and avoid a chargeback, but it also allows customers to incur costs with dodgy cards before we know they're dodgy, and then blocks charges outright before we know.

Why would the US congress want Facebook to go out of their way to maximise their liability to a piece of legislation intended to cripple US corporations and supplement EU budgets with US corporate profits?!

Well first of all, I agree with a book called Databases Demystified that recommends you sort out your user interface before you make your database. To a programmer that might sound backwards, because isn't the database the foundation of your interface? The reason it works is that your user interface helps you decide what is important to store. There are so many facts you could store about your subject, and if you make your database first, you likely will choose the wrong facts or format them in the wrong way.

After that, I don't change my database much. But when I do, I prefer vi and psql:

> vi tables.sql

begin;

drop schema stuff cascade;
create schema stuff;
set search_path to stuff;

create table blah (
id serial primary key,
name text unique not null,
kind int not null references kinds
on update cascade,
color int not null references colors
on update cascade
note text
);

rollback;

> psql
psql=> \i tables.sql # yay, no errors
psql=> \q
> vi tables.sql # change rollback to commit
> psql
psql=> \i tables.sql # table created

Whenever I want to make a change, I use vi to edit tables.sql. Then I run psql and its \i command to run the stuff in the file --- which drops the schema and all its tables, and recreates everything again. I don't know if any other database treats schemas as Postgres does though, as folders for tables.

By the way, you only want to do this on your test database, while making it, before users start using it, because it drops all the tables and their data. After you've gone live, it's alter table, baby.

Even after go-live this technique is useful for idempotent commands like creating views and functions. But instead of the drop-schema-cascade command, you have to put commands at the top to drop each of the views or functions, usually in the opposite order you create them, in case there are any dependencies.

If you like GUIs or are new to SQL, this way is daunting. I think it is the happiest way long term, though.

I find online courses not really as all in one but all-the-best in one. Meaning, all the conventional bits you need to know to be productive and, importantly, the gotchas that are often undocumented. This also means that it's not all in one and you still have to look at the docs. I usu go through an online course before a docs deep dive, and find this approach less time consuming than figuring out the docs coming in blind. I've got nearly all of Wes Bos' courses, and several Udemy courses notably Maxmilian's and Grider's. Also, 'Bash Shell Scripting' on Udemy that I usu. recommend to colleagues new to Linux.
Bose SoundTrue Ultra Review
There is also another problem - exactly opposite to what you describe. Stripe can't block fraudulent payments as good as others (Eg. PayPal). I don't know why or why not, but they simply slip it up. And here's the worst part, when there is a chargeback, you can't get hold of anyone to prove your innocence and eventually the case will slide with the customer. If you are selling physical products, this sucks because the scammer now has your product AND your money. Sad.

To be fair, Stripe is excellent for developers. For businesses? Not so much. You're either stuck with a monopoly, with shitty documentation and archaic APIs (PayPal) but works well for businesses or you're stuck with a new age (Startup?) that's really great at everything except helping you make money.

Here's me hoping for a better Stripe alternative. There's really a lot of space in this market.

They could straight up disallow the versioned pages in their robots.txt and for the current version they could have a full copy of the docs without version number in the URL that instead has .../current/... and those pages would be allowed for crawlers to index. Then people could jump to older versions manually from there if they needed to instead of everyone having to endure the land-on-an-arbitrary-version-number-page annoyance.

That really is my only problem with the postgresql docs though and that’s saying something. The content itself of the postgresql docs is of stellar quality.
If you can SEO yourself to top rankings for tons of keywords, probably. But you probably can’t do that through pure SEO without strong existing organic ranking. Also highly product dependent if SEO is a viable channel. Probably best to cover the basics, optimize page load, and forget the rest.

Having toured the Tesla plant a few months after touring BMW in Munich, they're worlds apart. I also toured the Fremont plant back in the NUMMI days.

Here are some thoughts with no real point.

For me (26), part of what kept me interested in learning to program was the sense that I was working through something convoluted and solving some personal problem. Overcoming some sort of adversity. In this case, it was writing hodgepodge pascal to automate Runescape and Neopets, then also Flash for fun and profit.

I now have friends that are interested in the concept of programming, but have no application for it. I'm happy to aid in their journey, but when they ask me "What should I program?" I have no idea what to tell them. "Pick something arbitrary" I say, only to hear "What's that mean?". I feel like programming is something most people either come to organically or don't follow though with, regardless of challenge involved.

If we are to think about what would make a successful programming class, would it look more like math such that "Today we'll learn math, because math will totes be useful later for some reason" or would it look like "Make a computer do something interesting or useful with minimal human interaction".
I have this pretty much 100% of the time when I'm playing a piano piece, especially an older piece that I've somewhat forgotten. It's not so much that I'm re-learning the notes, it feels more like I'm coaxing the requisite movement back out of my hands. It's hard to explain, like... I can't really start a musical phrase halfway through because I don't know what notes I'm actually playing without the sheet music in front of me. But if I start at the beginning, my hands will do the right thing from muscle memory.
In the greater Boston area, I think I've only seen Zipcar spots on private property (though I'm not sure what the ownership is of the MBTA parking spaces) and I would expect the rate to be somewhat negotiable, based on supply & demand for the neighborhood.

And how is this any different from a potential cyber-attacker attacking the US? They can't just harm the US without repercussions either.

But at the end of the day, death is permanent. If you want someone to die, shooting them with a weapon is outrageously effective.

The fact of the matter is: the current world order has a lot of bluster. But we generally don't want to kill each other. That's why Cyber is so "effective", because we aren't killing each other. We just sorta annoy each other with relatively minor inconveniences.

If we REALLY wanted to kill someone, we have ICBMs and other such weapons of war. But really, we don't like killing people. So we don't use those tools. The F-35 is one such tool, in preparation for the day that we might start killing each other for real.

I'm 21, and have a fair bit of programming experience now (did some internships, have a job, know Python/C++ well and JavaScript/Go/Ruby/Lua reasonably well) and I learned to program using Scratch.

I had a lot of fun making games with Scratch, and I think it taught me a lot about logic and gave me a great way to express myself. I definitely got way more into the weeds about it than everyone around me, but one of my favorite things was opening up a game I admired on their website and trying to figure out how it works. This skill has definitely transferred into my broader programming career.

I have really high praise for it! The only thing looking back I wish we had was a way to export it to a .exe self-contained runtime to share with friends. I just used to pull my friends over at lunch.
