You're moving the goalposts! Previously it was "anything but install scripts". Now it's "logic and arrays".

I actually think we agree with each other, but we express it differently. I never write bash scripts, I write POSIX shell, so all the array juggling of bash is something I never deal with. As you say, by the time you need arrays, you should have switched languages already.

That said, I think there's a fairly large domain of problems - apart from install scripts - that are better solved with shell scripts, because of their clarity. Anything which relies on invokation of lots of other tools, and in particular problems that fit the pipe model (take output from this tool, extract interesting bits from it, and feed it to that tool, etc).

Here in Spain there are lots of fantastic wines around 5€, although I assume you're surgically taking about the states.

Perrin's CdR is ~$10 I believe—we used to drink that almost every day when we lived in NY. Also Jelu from Argentina is a fantastic Pinot Noir for ~$10 as well I believe.

Be careful with your price ranges there, the most expensive wines in the world are Pinot Noirs!

It's easy to confuse people trying to escape their lives using drugs and rationalizing it by saying things about self-development with people that actually use drugs to improve themselves. It's easy because the escape artists are lying to everyone, including themselves. And it's hard not to believe someone who's convinced even themselves of their lies.

I made a similar build but with the Streacom FC9 Alpha case. I put a slim 1050Ti in there and replaced the GPU fans with Nuctua 1cm thick 9,2cm fan with Zalman Fan Mate 2 that I turn up when I play games. I have to run it without lid though, as any computer I have really, convection is your friend.

I also went with 32GB RAM because I make multiplayer games and I need to be able to run multiple clients at the same time which takes alot of memory.

Are you asking how useful fingerprinting is, or are you asking how effective it is?

For the former, any amount of fingerprinting lets ad companies make the case that their ads are better or worth more money. For the latter, the EFF Panopticlick research project seems to be pretty good at giving you an idea:

https://panopticlick.eff.org/

I don't have an iPad/iPhone etc. to test Safari with; seems like they'd be amongst the most homogeneous of devices. Perhaps someone with one of those devices could tell us if the EFF can uniquely identify their device. It was able to uniquely identify all of my devices.

Keep in mind that sniffer dogs are used to filter the trials. What's missing in that statistic is the total number of bags the dogs sniffed.

I'm going to make up a number. Keep in mind that I know it's a made up number, but I hope that it will illustrate my point. Let's imagine that 1 out of every 100 bags contains drugs that a sniffer dog can detect. If the dogs have an 80% false positive rate, that means that in 100 bags they will indicate the 1 bag carrying drugs and 4 other bags not carrying drugs.

If that bags carrying drugs (1:100) were correct, and I'm not saying it is, then of 100 bags, 4 bags were searched fruitlessly in order to find the 1 bag with drugs. That means that 4% of bags were searched fruitlessly. That sounds a lot more encouraging for the dogs.

Another way to look at it is to say that when the police get a bag that was indicated by a dog, their chance of finding drugs is 20%. With our 1:100 scenario (still not trying to say it's true) their chance would be 1%. So the chances of finding the drugs increases by a factor of 20 at the cost of inconveniencing 4% of the people.

Of course, I'm being a bit silly. We don't know how many bags the dogs checked so we have no idea how effective the dogs are. However, I suspect that relatively few people carry drugs in their bags (surely less than 1%? Maybe I'm wrong), so this 80% false positive rate sounds pretty effective to me. It potentially disrupts a tiny percentage of people and potentially increases the odds of finding drugs pretty dramatically. Without more information, there is no way to say what's going on, though (which is why I hate newspaper articles like that).

I used to spoof my user-agent and don't remember much of a difference... As a dev, everyone tells me I should just throw literally every possible version of newer attributes into the CSS anyhow, so on most websites you're bound to get at least some of the right ones.

When I found myself applying for jobs that required homework I realized I had been organzing my resume in an ieffective way that was presenting my skills in too generic a light. When I went back and re-wrote my resume in a focused way to highligh the skills that make me special I was able to avoid these. Homework is fine when you're starting out but when you're on a very senior level its pretty insane.
Yes, that's what I was getting at.

Your note on "more well defined problems" is spot on. Chasing single percent improvements and SOTA is indeed the name of the game there.

But defining the problem in the first place, figuring out the cost matrix and solution constraints, is typically the bigger challenge in highly innovative projects. Once you know what to chase, 80% of the job is done.

Disclosure: building commercial ML systems for the past 11 years, using deep learning and otherwise. What you call "metric you care about" is often not the metric you care about. This is why people coming from academia are sometimes taken by surprise that logistic regression, linear models, or heck, even rule-based systems (!) are still so popular. Model simplicity, developer sanity and performance do matter, too.

No, anyone that offers an unregistered security to a non-wealthy (unaccredited) investor is committing a federal crime. It's disingenuous to ignore the full scope of the law, by not mentioning how it criminalizes certain classes of victimless interaction.

>>Yes, it does put some limits on individual freedom but I think this is one area where the trade-offs has been chosen decently well.

This is Big Brother ideology. No one in a free society should have their freedom restricted.

The practical results of this paternalism have been disastrous too, so it can't be justified on consequentialist grounds. Practically all small businesses are denied direct access to public capital markets atm.

That's probably trillions in lost economic gains and potentially a massive contributor to income inequality.

When you create gatekeepers, and prohibit anyone from transacting without their intermediation, you create a concentrated power structure that inhibits economic development and exacerbates income inequality.

The new crowdfunding rules are a tiny step in reversing this dire situation, but the real solution is to stop treating the adult population like children that need to be protected from their own bad judgment.

Swiss Police Investigate Fatal Crash, Fire Involving Tesla
Not.. really. I mean... almost not at all.

There certainly was some of that but they were, for the first 100 years or so, glorified bounty hunters fighting bandits & marauding highwaymen around the Holy Land. Basically a religious police force.

They also were the favored money donation/papal favor buying scheme used by nobles. Quite quite rich.

The certainly DID fight of course in things like the defeat of Saladin at Montgisard but they were usually not a very present force (for example there were less than 500 knights in that battle but about about 9000 infantry)

In fact relatively few Knights were combatants! The others acted in support positions to assist the knights and to manage the finances.

They were mostly a rich proto-banking guild by the mid 1100s tbh and by the 1200s they rapidly became utterly pointless.

They had about 50 years of being involved in any real combat and it wasn't very involved when it did. You've been paying attention to too much myth making about them and not their actual deeds.

If you're now in an apocalyptic mood, you can also check out Budapest's subway shelters. The two socialist-era subway lines were designed to double as shelters in case of an emergency, and there's pretty substantial infrastructure built out to enable this usecase: gates to seal the tunnels, air and water supply systems, storage rooms, toilets. Occasionally there are drills [1] to practice for a real emergency. The linked article contains some fascinating pictures in their gallery, when you advance after clicking any of the embedded ones. Combine with the fact that some of the rolling stock is still Soviet vintage, for that extra Metro 2033 feel.

As for other underground passages, Budapest has several caves too [2][3][4], and a set of passageways that connect the famous Gellert Baths with its historic source deep in the mountain [5] and now contain mechanical rooms and other boreholes for the Baths' thermal water that are further from the Danube, so they don't mix in times of high water.

What Worksnaps does and how it can help your business
I'm making a point on how indulgent it is to spend technical resources on something of so little consequence, and then write 2(!) 10,000+ word blogposts (including https://airbnb.design/working-type/) on it and also produce a video to announce it to the world.

The second blogpost actually says After 18 months of creating, refining, testing, and integrating, we flipped the switch and released Airbnb Cereal across our brand and product. 18 months?! This is HBO Silicon Valley level insanity.

Spend 18 months figuring out how to stop real issues on the marketplace like discrimination against minority guests. The only solution Airbnb has offered to quell the #AirbnbWhileBlack controversies that started in 2016 has been to force hosts and guests to click a button pledging to not discriminate. That is an actual issue. This is throwing idle bodies at a non-existent problem.

How legit a tool is Money.net? The founder's book on oil is amazing, but I've always been curious about Money.net
it needs to create 2,000 more residential options for those employees

But that's not how it works because they can't discriminate in housing that way. If they build 2,000 homes and put them on the market, most won't go to employees, especially given that they'll be extorted into designating 20% or more as "affordable". The rest would just join the general inventory.

Look at the protests trying to pressure Google in this direction for land in San Jose between 280 and the SAP Arena that they don't even own yet. (The same parcels that San Jose offered to the Oakland A's at considerable losses).

The big developments proposed in Menlo and Mountain View are both on parcels trapped between 101 and the Bay with few connections to the rest of civilization... and no access to rapid transit. They are not a panacea.

Bruichladdich is good stuff, but for the stuff I've tasted, it's never been best-of-class.

Taste-wise, I'd put them pretty close to the less hyped Bowmore.

Depends on EU country of course, but any court can invalidate such clause or even entire signed employment contract without much effort, especially in such highly unilateral uncompensated unbounded case.

I am sure refusing the contract is tough decision for some but I think in a long term it is a wise move. Companies with such shaddy tactics usually are quite bad toxic places to work in and lack any reputation. Just check some other non-compete/confidentiality clause threads here in HN. You will find similar experiences.

From my experience it is extremely rare situation in EU nowadays, but I may be biased as I work with reputable companies from my network recomendations.

Developers make the things users use -- there aren't users without developers. Developer interests therefore often overlap with user interest, even if they don't always. Where they're in tension, the particulars of the solution matter.

Users aren't winning if their web audio apps inexplicably stop playing sound in a new version, if Chrome's decision makers decide to muck around with a standard in such a way that devs acting in perfectly good faith find their Web Audio API stuff breaking/working from release to release, and those devs either have to burn time adapting to the hoops du jour particular to each browser or simply give up trying to hit a moving/multiplying target.

As others have pointed out, there are simpler ways to offer users consideration for opt-in audio.
It’s incredible to realize how foundational the Roman Empire was to what we now commonly consider Western civilization.

Rome certainly was a highly advanced society in its time, but what a shame to think that because of vast abundance of slaves the Roman society never pushed further with technological innovations, effectively preventing the human race from having mobile phones by the year 1000, if not earlier.

Some argue that with less slaves an industrial revolution might have triggered much earlier, and Roman society was certainly ingenious enough to push the boundaries if there ever was a need to do so.
