I really don't think the article is saying much more than you do.

A simple, silly, trvially fixable design oversight caused a number of deaths when the product became common enough. The only way to nudge the manufacturers to fix it is by raising awareness, which is what the article does - which would, hopefully, lead to proper regulation.

Additionally, we can only expect the number of accidents like this to rise as the number of newer cars increases. This article is also a PSA.

While a lot of people die in car accidents, I see it as an orthogonal issue. Using your analogy, it's like complaining about floods in TX while there's a tornado in KS heading North.
I think I see some flaws in how we automatically label a company's value based on how much an investor is willing to invest. Why isn't a startup's "value" pegged to real metrics? So in that sense, an investor is free to invest more, but they can't automatically raise the company's value simply by the fact that they were willing to invest more.

Semantically I guess it's accurate, but we really should come up with a better way, or different words, to explain what it really means. Distilling it down to "a company's value is X" is extremely misleading IMO.
Wow. I first came across Microsoft Chat in the late 1990s, at age 11 or 12. To this day it seemed ahead of its time... avatars with multiple options of facial expressions, comic book layout. I miss it.
Agreed. Java was first, so that's primarily why it is where it is today in terms of market share. But C#, and its functional cousin F#, are now leading the way in the evolution of modern programming languages. With .Net Core now being open source and all-platform, we should all look forward to it supplanting Java and JVM as the ubiquitous language and runtime.
It depends on if you view a lack of features as a positive or negative.

Pharmaceutical R&D spending isn’t all that high. It’s around $300 per capita in the US. The money is not coming from high insurance premiums.
Meh. The Oracle bashing mostly feels like FUD. Yea you might run into license issues if you use the Oracle JDK, but the world has rapidly moved to using OpenJDK which is just fine these days.
Touchdown Australian Technology Stories Podcast Ep#5 Basarat Ali Syed TypeScript
As a regex implementor, I am super appreciative of this document. I've consulted it quite a bit, and it helped guide me towards picking and choosing which Unicode features I should support and what their semantics should be. The upshot is that many other regex engines have either inspired this document or been inspired by it, which gives at least some consistency between implementations.

I also think it's clear from reading this document many times that it was very much informed by regex implementors. The text seems quite self-aware of the fact that some features may not be practical to implement in all scenarios.

It is certainly far from perfect, and I bet that if we got in a room together, we could vent about things in (or missing from) this document. But I am determined not to let perfection be the enemy of good, and this document has, at least in my experience, done much more good than harm.

You mean in retrospect? Or was that the prevailing opinion of citizens at the time that had anything to do with trade or total war?
Good article with lots of epic photos that are not credited to anybody.
It's nostalgic too, I read Takedown over the Atlantic on my honeymoon.
Well thank you! That is exactly the feedback I was hoping to hear.... the skill I'm trying to develop is copywriting and the key objective is to catch peoples attention and keep them reading so I'm glad to hear that's what you did.
Why wouldn't you rather learn a new one if your old one is changing rapidly into a weaker version of some other language that did it better already? I personally don't care at all about those new things; I have them in Scala, I don't need them in Java. I can mix those two as I like anyway.

I'd much rather see type erasure fixed, as that messes up every single language based on JVM. But that would be like "the incompatible change" of a decade...
Even more Orwellian, you received a letter "claiming" your samples had been destroyed. You have no proof this was done unless the samples were returned to you.

It’s clearly a market where large expenses are required to make progress. I’m thinking the discoveries should be made public goods through rewarding breakthroughs somehow. Or, devote some fraction of the National gdp to research. We’re talking at least the amount the market currently allocates, but preferably more.
I'd add:

One you set it up, document exactly that setup in readme. If you use something specific for dep management, document it. If not, document it. Document how to run tests. Document everything...

At work I often run into issues with "random project X on GitHub" and do a bit of drive-by fixes. But many times when I find some Go project, I have no idea how to get from a fresh repo to running tests. And if that requires a lot of time to figure out, you're getting a vague issue that I may not want to spend time on, rather than a ready PR. Unfortunately this happens for go projects much more than other languages in my experience.
The day will come when DNA sequencing is so fast and affordable, that the storage fees for all these samples will be less (over some period of time) than the cost of sequencing each sample and storing a digital copy. Indexed, identified, searchable.

Then we're really going to have some interesting privacy concerns.

I often say that the CTO's job is to shut down all the Mr Clueless. Every layer should come with their own mix of technical managers and systems analysts who are there to filter out the people above.

My own job is to basically read all the docs and just point out some documentation that tells the higher up that this is not a good idea, or this feature is not likely, or draw diagrams explaining the complexity of the feature. The programmer who is doing the work can't do this, because it will sound like an excuse. And the analyst is also there to help higher ups figure out whether the developers are just giving excuses or saying something true.

If that isn't happening then you should probably get out, as things won't get better.
Is an understanding of TCP necessary to do AI/ML? As someone who does work in ML (and has no formal background in CS but in physics), I see it as being mostly a combination of statistics and numerical computing. CS concepts outside of algorithms don't really come into it all that much.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried counter attack. The downside is in turn DoS the origin, which often are victims like infected host in a botnet. Double-edged sword. But it would be very interesting to see how quickly one could defeat the attack.

I also wonder why attack often last only a few hours.

Both those articles are heavy on marketing and light on detail, but if the PAL they're talking about is anything like the one described here...

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/12/how-a...

...the "PAL" is basically the Win32 libraries with a different interface on the other side (in some ways, like WINE), so no, Win32 is not going away.

I wonder how many people died because they locked their keys in a running vehicle in the garage, called a locksmith, but didn’t think about CO entering the house while they waited.

At the rate of 2 per 100’s of millions of people per year, these scenarios become plausible.
Yeah, most ultra rich people have a business and maintain it like a business. Everything is automated without them being around. They might even have a person dedicated to managing the hiring and firing security guards, pool boys, maids, lawn mowers, etc.
I am a victim of possibly "lawful" surveillance and tracking. The law is a very thickle thing of the business courts today. Right and wrong regarding to the court has a very loose connection to the constitution and morality. If I've learned anything about the law is that people will do anything they can get away with legally. It's a scary world out there, and it's just going to get more scary.

It did a number of things. It had logic for controlling power on a low power device, coordinating between a number of other micros. It also acted as a last ditch watchdog system that triggered a recovery of the device
The dimensions of preferences and signalling contort the actual valuation.

Remember that 409A valuations are generally drastically below preferred price. I'd be much more inclined to discuss startup valuations in the terms of 409A valuations.

Doctors should be the ones making the medical decisions, not the faceless employees working with spreadsheets at insurance companies. Our system is backwards and needs to be overhauled.
While tragic, I don't want my government protecting me from myself. I mean, where does this end? What about leaving the stove on? What about using my barbecue indoors?

There have been cases where government intervention to help may have actually been worse than that original problem, such as the rise in cases of forgetting children in rear seats on warm days after laws were written forbidding car seats in the front where parents find it harder to forget their child.
Toronto van attack: Inside the dark world of 'incels'
We used to be a Microsoft/.NET shop, and switched to Java for the ecosystem, as well as the fact that all the interesting things in cloud happen outside of Redmond.

Somewhat nicer syntax and some functional features isn’t going to fix the wider problem Microsoft has, which is the reason for .NET core existing, I suppose.
Some fair points... some comments and one question:

1. Java 10 has type inference so that should improve your first point going forward to some degree. That said, I would also say type system syntax != type system.

2. Compared to what other modern high-level languages? Also slight changing of goal posts, but what other modern high-level language that has some market adoption?

3. Agree with passing `Foo.class` or type tokens around. Very annoying.
I was expecting a way to organise a golang folder structure for web apis (2018), as there are some old tutorials out there
Surprizingly, most don’t. You need to run the water, maintain a standard temperature in the house throughout the year, flush regularly, use all the appliances, etc. You can’t just have your gardner coming once a week, your cleaning lady twice a month, you need someone to live in your house to make sure it works properly. It’s like an engine in a car or a motorcycle, it needs to run to stay healthy, otherwise it needs to be conditioned for storage purposes.

So, to answer your question, family members, friends, etc are what ultra rich people use in order to maintain their real estate portfolio. Not only personnel. Personnel is useful for an occupied house only.

It was silicon (or, at least, optimized general compute) in the mid-2000s, but who knows anymore? It could all be user land TCP/IP on Linux today. High speed network processing got weird.
It makes more sense in nature for females to be more selective than males, since once they choose a mate they have to deal with that choice for a while, resulting in males competing for females. So I think it makes sense that men would naturally be competing for women, and would have to take more risks, and try and get more money/recognition, to do that.
I'd like to see some AB testing results on the actual effects of these tiny little details. I just suspect most people don't really care, but hey, maybe I'm wrong...
Thanks! I will be on the look out for google changes to update accordingly.
I wonder how many deaths there are per year due to remote start. A kid (or another key in your pocket) presses one button on the dongle twice, and the whole household dies.
A jobs guarantee is a flawed idea
> We ought not look at it through our normal understanding of goods in a free market.

This is the biggest flaw in how we think about many important issues. Market economics isn’t something you decide to apply or not based on public policy. Instead, its the framework of actions and consequences against which you must determine public policy. If your policy is to have private companies develop and commercialize medicines, then you need to ensure functioning markets from drugs. That means avoiding antitrust issues, but also avoiding free-rider problems that result for drugs being easy to copy.

You can, of course, do something else, such as having the government pay to commercialize drugs. What you can’t do is eat your cake and have it too, by deciding that you can somehow “opt out” of market dynamics for industries you deem to be of public importance. It’s like saying that “supersonic flight is important, so we ought not to look at it through our normal understanding of aerodynamics.”
Sometimes those terms are added to advertisements to attract people who want to be doing those things, not because they are actual job requirements.
Why not host it on GitLab and set up push mirroring to GitHub? You get the advantages from the extra features that GitLab offers and the extra visibility from GitHub.
If you're reading this and you don't have carbon monoxide detectors in your home, please go buy some. They are generally integrated in modern smoke detectors, and the standalone units are pretty cheap.

I'd recommend having one in the garage if you have a gas water heater. But you should definitely have them in the house no matter what.
So you're saying there /are/ things that the social sciences can contribute to data science?
This is my complete lack of surprise...
The "Tour of Go" web pages are nice, this way.
In the early 2000s you could get a long way with just the 5-tuple, some basic aggregation inference, and a RRD histogram. The tricky parts were having the ability to divert and process the traffic once characterized. The actual processing wasn’t that complicated; it just needed way bigger rules than could be fit in a switch TCAM.
Here's the thing: leaving a car running and unoccupied is, from an engineering perspective, completely stupid.

Running a car on idle for a long time basically slowly degrades it. It's just sitting there getting hot and wasting gas. Without adequate cooling, the engine will overheat. And if you have multiple catalytic converters, the car can explode from built up gases. Many manuals explicitly state not to idle the car for more than 10-20 minutes.

You don't even need to idle it. Many cars today have automatic engine shut off and start when the car is stopped at a red light. New cars could easily add this to prevent idling.

Now consider the non-technical reasons not to let it idle. One, someone can steal it. Two, it's wasting gas. Three, it's pumping harmful gases into the atmosphere and creating smog. Four, someone could die from carbon monoxide.

The solution is simple. The default should be to turn off the car if the keys are gone after idling for 10 minutes, with an override switch to let it idle for, let's say an hour. After an hour you have to flip the switch again.

Regardless of whether you think this is necessary, there are hundreds of such modifications already that add up to make cars safer and more reliable. You can't switch into or out of park or reverse without depressing the brake. You can't remove the keys without being in park. Your can't operate Bluetooth controls while the car is in motion.

So it's not like these changes are new or difficult. Automakers add them over time as they see the need. But when they don't act, it's up to us to pass legislation to require them.
This is a step in the right direction. C++ exceptions in practice are difficult to get right, and depending on dynamic allocation in an exception seems problematic to me.

One of the main reasons to use exceptions is to save code. In one of my projects, using exceptions instead of checking error returns saved 11% in code size. The exception version of the code was more correct, since there were many fewer places where error codes were handled. The golang people just don't get this.

The subtleties are not longer fresh in my mind, but "throws" rubs me the wrong way. Why declare whether a certain function may throw an exception? The beauty of exceptions is that you can use code that throws exceptions without having to know exactly where exceptions can occur.

But how did that fix it? It sounds like what you are doing is managing a cavity, not fixing it.
The worldview of Tolkien and Lewis was deeply inspired by their academic understanding of medieval cosmology. Dwarves and other fantasy creatures were not strictly "made up", but were types meant to reveal the reality of invisible spiritual and celestial creatures within the model of the universe. Disney's treatment of said creatures was barbaric in their minds as it completely missed the theological and philosophical significance they were supposed to communicate.
Interesting no mention of Ravencoin?
"...he also called Disney a 'poor boob'"

My Prius also has that feature. As far as I know, they all do.
I'm not a C programmer but I spent some time analysing major parts of C code for a SAP integration library that I maintained to get a better understanding of the SAP RFC interfaces. Never had an issue with the C code and TCL side of the integrations very easy to reason and maintain whilst covering massive amounts of integrations to SAP.

More often then not, the problems I was involved with resolving on emergency escalation (line down) calls was on the SAP side of the world and never in the integration code in TCL and C.

The biggest drawback with the TCL implementation from our application vendor was that they did not implement multi threading for TCL and instead implemented a node.js like event loop. As SAP calls were locking, this did cause locks for all other TCL calls.
+1 for bringing aus beer culture into this. I lived in China for 3 months and once I came back, VB tasted as good as any craft beer - a luxury. My friends thought I was crazy, but it taught me just how relative our experiences can be.
It is a little tricky to get right. For instance, it shouldn’t trip if the car is in motion.

Even harder to get right (and very likely to increase the current, extremely low accidental CO death toll), it definitely shouldn’t trip if the car is stuck in stop-and-go traffic in a tunnel full of idling cars.
Shortening exclusivity would increase the need for marketing, because companies would have to get the word out to consumers and doctors much more quickly.
1. That would be just as illegal as the original attack; cybersecurity laws have no provisions for self-defense. (It's true that nations are attempting to negotiate clauses like that in international relations, but even if that pans out, it will definitely never be a privilege afforded to individuals)

2. Attack what? It's a distributed DoS, the calls are coming from all over. You mean going after every node sending traffic? What would "attacking them" even mean? It's not like you can shut them down.

3. All those nodes are innocent and being used unknowingly. Attacking them would be both illegal (see point 1) and pretty unethical: you're deliberately aiming at innocents and not the attacker (whom you have no chance of locating). Imagine if you took down a hospital attempting to stop an NTP flood on your dumb blog. Have fun explaining why that was necessary.

"Counter-hacking" sounds cool and sexy, but there are reasons why it is never done.
Would like to see my own. How do you do that?
" Personal computers were thought of as mostly useless hobbyist technology until years later when spreadsheets were introduced."

"Cell phones suffered a similar skepticism"

The people that invented them could tell you what you might be able to do with them and you'd find that way better than your current situation. Whereas, the design of these cryptocurrencies are worse than our current situation in a lot of ways. The problems they allegedly solve appear to be fixable with better forms of existing technology, law, etc that's used in centralized systems. The people pushing cryptocurrencies never even try to do that. They're ideologically against it rather than looking for whatever solutions are most practical.

So, the potential usefulness of the desktop vs the terminals connecting to shared mainframes/minicomputers or mobile phones vs fixed-location phones is nothing like banks, cards, Venmo, and contracts vs Bitcoin or Ethereum. Actually, the current system works so well at what it does that most people are happy with it. The gripes they have are usually on policies, fees, etc that a non-profit, centralized, customer-focused organization can solve. A series of them cooperating via a standard protocol (i.e. better SWIFT) across jurisdictions and currencies can reduce those risks, too. There's nothing about the problems of current system that makes most people think: let's ditch existing currencies, databases, and accounting practices for decentralized, blockchain-based, crypto algorithms. A solution in search of a problem is an apt phrase.
