you can see the moniac running if you happen to be in wellington on the first(?) friday of the month. there's a refurbished one in the foyer of the reserve bank (invented by a NZer - while employed in another country of course).
I think it's just about how much legacy code, and in which sites.

+1 though. I'd really like to see a version of JavaScript not only with new features, but also without some (all?) of the weird semantics it was once dreaded for. That can certainly only happen if it's versioned.
I would never defend VW for the emissions scandal (although they were just the ones who were caught, far from the sole offender), but they certainly deserve praise for their ability to market good affordable vehicles to the masses.
My bad feeling about this is coming from another perspective: this reminds me pretty closely of the Motorola-Apple Rockr fiasco. Cars are very different from phones, though.
I’m surprised that Apple couldn’t sign a deal with the Japanese or the Koreans though.
People are suckers for complex, over-engineered things. They associate mastering complexity with intelligence. Simple things that just work are boring / not sexy.

I’ll be in my corner doing asking “do we really need this?”/“have you tested this?”
Autopilot is generally pretty smooth - what you describe is more characteristic of texting while driving, which idiots can achieve in any car.
Change your focus from getting excited about HOW to make things to getting more excited about WHAT to make. Come from the outside in.

So for example, if you are doing React stuff and Redux stuff for a financial application that helps users in "Dealings" to position trades effectively, find out more about those aspects of the equation.

If this doesn't improve your fulfillment, maybe it's time for another set of toys besides programming.

We already have L4, Waymo works right now in L4 with real people without any accidents (where Waymo would be clearly at fault).

The fact that it isn't yet scaled up (mass production just started few months ago) doesn't mean that it doesn't work.
It seems that work has already started: https://github.com/martanne/vis.
I have seen that when production and after production are handled by different person, company or partnership have tons of success. Because each can be in his bubble forever.
This is like me who knows nothing about making music, convincing a bunch of actual musicians to create a band, not pay them, come up with a vague idea for an album and then send them e-mails every other week asking about progress, and then calling myself a failed band leader when they go off and get actual jobs.
Sure, a lot of things /could/ happen, but my issue in particular was that the original comment was (intentionally or not) misleading people to believe something that was very far from reality.

As it is, they don't have ads and they don't record without consent. You could argue all day about what they could or would do in the future, but I will reconsider my decision to use he device then. Let's get the facts about how the product works now straight for now.
> forgot perl

Or maybe, hiding out in PHP?

Steeling syntax, releasing versions bigger than 5, smoking regex benchmarks...

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
yeah.. I like the `s///` syntax in sed/perl than the `sub/gsub` syntax.. plus the regex is lacking in awk.. no backreference(gawk provides, but only in replacement section).. and perl has non-greedy, lookarounds, code in replacement section, etc

other nice features I'd like in awk is `tr` and `join`

Not really a fan of the title here…something about it just seems too editorialized. Maybe "significant mean differences found between mens' and womens' brains?"
An email idea is on the way, via post.
The IRS previously said these types of programs were fine [1], although in a way intended not to set prescedent. There are a lot of other cases referenced in the memo, some of which probably did set some prescedents. State governments could easily set up targeted funds, if just dropping the money into the general fund is a non-starter.

This is a terrible move. They had effectively years to prepare for the GDPR and they already have some sort of rudimentary export and delete options.

This step removes all the trust in Instapaper that I had in the past: They either are mismanaged or are not willing to tell the users what data they are collecting and how they use and monetize this data. And it should worry all users, not only users from the EU.
Well, it's not in the standard lib and I couldn't get my program to compile. Compare that to D or Go, where you don't have to fight the copiler.
thanks, that means a lot to me :)

if you are interested in text processing in general, do check the other chapters for grep/sed/perl/sort/paste/pr/etc

I learned a lot writing them up and marvel at the speed and functionality provided by these tools.. for many cases, it is lot easier to write a bash script combining these tools than to write a Perl/Python/Ruby script..
Title using 'very large' does not come from the article, which gives a more subtle image:

>Sex Differences in the Adult Human Brain: Evidence from 5216 UK Biobank Participants

>Males had higher raw volumes, raw surface areas, and white matter fractional anisotropy; females had higher raw cortical thickness and higher white matter tract complexity. There was considerable distributional overlap between the sexes.

Personally I wouldn't call the difference between a mean of 1115.76 with an standard deviation of 89.68 and a mean of 1233.58 with an SD of 98.31 very large (all in cm^3)

Mostly music with no lyrics. That’s key.

I’m currently enjoying brain.fm set to 30 minutes and synced with a 30 minute pomodoro timer. I enjoyed the trial enough to purchase a lifetime membership (using a discount code) as I feel much more productive, especially when combined with some Bose noise-cancelling headphones. I’ve spent more money on less productive things so I figured “why the hell not?”. It may just pay for itself.

If not brain.fm, then I’d prefer to listen to movie soundtracks, such as Another Earth, I Origins, Manglehorn, or The Wilderness.

Some artists I’ve enjoyed while coding:

Piano: Ludovico Einaudi, Dirk Maassen, Johann Johannssen, Olafur Arnolds, Joep Beving

Electronic: Tricky, Moderat (particularly the instrumental album).

Heavy Rock: Earthless, Russian Circles

Post Rock: Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You
>Wouldn’t it be possible to introduce a versioning mechanism, similar to strict mode, where you could opt in to a newer version of JavaScript?

Some people in web standards community and dotcoms will protest. There are big believers in "Live version"

It is very sensible thing to do, but you need to kick these people out of committees. Despite the numerous attempts, none has succeeded at that yet.
> Safety officials cited Mark III Construction – and not Tesla – with violations following the accident. However, Nguyen’s suit states that Tesla “controlled” the contractor and safety on the worksite.

Seems like a bad contractor ignored safety and now they're blaming Tesla. It will be interesting to see who the court finds responsible here.
Mods, perhaps "Sex Differences in the Adult Human Brain: Evidence from 5216 Participants" would be less editorialized while not overly long.
That the majority of high school seniors would benefit more from trade school, apprenticeship, and small business entrepreneurship programs than four additional years of formal classroom education.
Wait, what would that look like?

Because I don't know what would happen if you don't define your version in script tags, it'll default to I guess LTS, which wouldn't have fixed this issue, right?

I get free unlimited google searching, gmail, google maps in return. I would pay a hefty amount if they starting charging for those and am happy to trade the use of my fairly benign data usage patterns in return.

> starts selling your information to the highest bidder.

I am confident they will never ever sell my personal information (not population-level aggregates, but actual raw data with PII) because they will lose their only source of revenue and will soon go bankrupt if they did so.
Website uses Mootools. Mootools messes with built-in objects. Language moves to change built-in object. Mootools breaks.

So what is to be done here?

How about leave it up to Mootools to release a new version that is compatible and the website owners can adjust their code accordingly.
Safety is a HUGE problem in all industrial workplaces.

Employers always have "extensive protocols" in place, but managers and workers are often pressured to work in unsafe conditions in order to meet their performance goals.

For example, it's very common for workers to avoid donning PPE or properly setting up safety equipment for "simple" yet risky tasks such as routine cleaning of powerful equipment.

It's one of the "would you jump off a bridge just because everyone else did it?" type things, but complacency and peer pressure are real things.

There is always a battle between productivity and safety.
Could you please share a link/quote? I'm not across what Grimes has said about this (although surprised that her commenting has much to do with anything - even if she's dating Musk... She's not exactly an industrial OH&S expert from my understanding)
They vary over time (I assume they test different algos), but are mostly comparable to google. Qwant isn't bad either.
15 years ago I was working at a utility and was re-architecting our meter-data solution as the state government was about to mandate a change from manually read meters to remotely read interval meters. Had to rescale the database from processing less than 2 million reads a year, to over 50 million reads _a day_ (for our roughly 1M meters). Needed to keep 16 months online, and several years worth in near-line storage. We went from a bog-standard Oracle database to Oracle Enterprise with partitions by month. This was being fed by an event-driven microservices[0] architecture of individually deployable Pro*C/C++ unix executables. The messaging was Oracle A/Q.

At the time, I thought "wow - this is big!", and it was for me.

[0] we didn't call it microservices back then though that's clearly what it was. The term I used was "event-driven, loosely coupled, transactional programs processing units of work comprised of a day's worth of meter readings per meter". Doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily.
>YMMV! If you're looking for a ton of features or customization, look elsewhere.

I don't need much customization, I simply rely on a lot of features for daily convenience. Either way, it seems good enough and I might be able to work around it (or submit a patch if I'm not lazy).

Update rate is merely a concern because I don't want to spam some hosts with repetitive updates for no reason, might be worth another patch.
I am glad people are starting to see the irresponsibility in some of Teslas Marketing. It was clear from day one that Teslas autopilot is a glorified lane assist and therefore should not be sold as some sort of autonomous ready vehicle.

When I first complained about how autopilot was being marketed here on HN, I was down voted and told I don't know what autopilot means.
What kind of ski racing did you do ?

I've never heard about Yamaha skis. But I am from Europe so in alpine skiing (FIS races) I just know the European brands (Rossignol, Fischer, Head, Atomic or even more obscure ones like Stöckli).
>When is ECMA/JS going to be versioned in <script> tags so we can avoid this the next time around?

Unless there is a will to plow the ranks of committee sitters, and remove inadequate people, you will never see that till the moment the web platform kicks the bucket.
After reading this comment, I genuinely wondered in which aspects Apple Maps is better than Google Maps, since I've mostly used Google Maps for years. So I just opened up the Apple Maps and searched a few places, and it was surprisingly responsive. There are a few deficiencies, but I could see why Apple's map itself could be good enough for 90% of people.

IMO, navigation is a different story. I think navigation is one area where the up-to-date accurate information matters, and it seems Google has advantages in this part, thanks to Waze and its massive geo data. Also, Apple navigation UI really needs some critical improvements, like first-person perspective.
UWP has access to the notification area, with badge and toasts to control interaction. The term systray has gone away, as Microsoft reaims developers to use that area differently.
That's the first time I'm hearing Perl being praised for its elegance of all things. Elegance is certainly in the eye of the beholder, but by default is understood in the context of programming languages as "containing only a minimal amount of syntax constructs". By that measure, Perl is spectacularly/absurdly bad with its "sigills" and "there's more than one way" idioms. In fact, I find Perl one of the ugliest languages of all time.

Edit: a-ok, probably elegance is meant in the same sense that C is elegant by cramming everything in a single statement using pre-/post-increment operators and assignments-as-expressions
I may be preaching to the choir here (because this is largely a tech audience) but I don't buy into the stereotype that gamers play videogames (video games?) because of laziness or sloth or some other unfairly negative characteristic misattributed to them.

I saw a post on Reddit where a group of gamers had recreated King's Landing, the main city from Game of Thrones, in Minecraft. The entire project looked like it took years to complete. It was something of an architectural marvel and a sight to behold.

The reason I bring that up specifically was because it was not the work of a lazy and apathetic group of people. I would imagine the entire project took more hours than I spent studying for much of my undergraduate degree. Not to mention the collaboration involved. The entire project was a collective team effort towards a goal that the group deemed meaningful. I have seen multiple projects of this scale on Minecraft. If the people involved were lazy and slothful, where would they muster up the energy to work on such an endeavor? A project like this involves a certain level of planning and discipline to see to completion.

I have felt the same way about competitive games like Starcraft in that I'm amazed at how much effort people put forth to obtain proficiency and competency. There are thousands of hours of YouTube videos online dissecting every aspect of that game, not unlike the way a football quarterback might analyze game film. Again, there is nothing particularly lazy about this. I see it no differently than I would see a chess player studying old chess matches and strategies to improve their skill.

My preliminary thoughts are that video games offer a fair simulation of perfect competition in a world that is otherwise devoid of fairness. Reality is messy. Much of it, maybe most of it, depends on where you started out economically, who your parents were, and what kind of people were around you while you grew up. It's easy to fall into patterns of thought that resemble a "Why Me?" view of the world. I suspect a lot of gamers fall under this umbrella. I'm not making a moral judgement here. Instead, the way I see it is: If the real world has been disappointing to you for whatever reason, why wouldn't you seek out a more "perfect" world in a simulation? Especially when the simulation offers you what you crave in the real world: status, competency, hierarchy, friendship, community, etc. All of those can be found in video games. To me, many of them resemble a sort of perfect and fair world where one lives and dies by their own merits. I see the appeal of disappearing into one of these.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I was thinking about this recently and I am still hashing out my thoughts.

If there was an arc flash risk he should have been wearing appropriate PPE. Arc flash is something you don’t argue with. It burns and blinds you almost instantly and fires vaporised metal into your torso potentially killing you.

I’d like to understand the policy and procedures and equipment that was available first. A lot of electrical engineers refuse to use the PPE aware of the risks because it’s uncomfortable and takes time to put on.

Here’s typical PPE for that event to give you an idea the dangers involved: https://www.utilityproducts.com/articles/2012/01/arc-flash-p...

From his injuries it was clear he was not using it. Possibly just a flash visor looking at the lack of direct facial injuries and that was it.
Yes but... I don't envy those who would have to maintain and publish several subsets of the Javascript language.

And you would almost certainly have to specify in the source code which version of the language you wanted to adhere too. You couldn't assume it would be the latest, because that would break your code in the future, when the latest version has deprecated whatever feature you relied upon way back.

Ugly no matter how you look at it.

The version used on the NSFW subreddit(s) is not capable of that. The jump is not far though, as it is 'just' a more perspective-considering application of mostly the same technology.
IIRC the issue is mostly with the regular deepfake showing poor quality if the face is shown from the side, which makes the artifacts rather blunt.
You still have to worry about this. There was a season of the TV series 24 (second half of season 2), which dealt with an audio recording almost causing WW3. The season ran winter 2002/3. Google already has the technology to synthesize voice at a quality that easily passes examination, provided the minimal artifacts can be hidden in (non-white) noise. Considering this is full synthesis, and that we already had real-time face morphing [0] in 2016 (with hardware capable of reaching NTSC quality available for under $1k in a laptop at that time), the point of faking multi-angle video using motion capture technology and similar, as well as humans for guiding the software/eliminating artifacts, is likely not far.

This is very interesting to me. What made you adopt this habit? It does seem counterintuitive to everything I have read and heard throughout my entire life. What sort of improvements, if any, have you noticed from adopting this style of eating versus the standard 3-4 meals per day?

A tactical question: Do you load up all of your daily calories in that one meal e.g. if your usual intake is 2500 per day, do you have all of that at once or do you eat less?
In what way have they not "figured out" maps? It isn't a defective product, Google just has more user features (partly because they monetize location data, partly because they monetize priority display of businesses, and partly because they were around 8 years longer)
