I remember HERO from my university robotics club, some 10 years ago. Punching in hex codes for machine instructions was so fun, especially since that encouraged us to drop the computers and code on paper.

Nevertheless, someone made an assembler, figured out the code upload interface and future instructions were uploaded using a mini jack and a sound card.
Perhaps some of the scooter companies are arguing that they provide a solution to overcrowded mass transit; SFMTA provides options like the Lifeline Pass (https://www.sfmta.com/fares/lifeline-pass). Additionally, they are relying upon public streets and areas to sell their services (as I understand it, you don't go to a private depot to pick up a scooter you wish to rent), whereas BMW dealerships conduct their business on private property.

Not quite. The DPO is a different subject matter.

Article 27 stipulates that data processors outside the EU should designate a representative, a whipping boy, if you will. The representative should be subject to enforcement proceedings in the event of non-compliance by the controller or processor.

In most cases it would probably be the same person fulfilling both the representative and DPO functions but those are actually two separate roles.
Yes. Apple’s chips have enabled amazing performance (far above Android on a single core) and very low power draw, letting them get buy with less battery/heat output for equivalent performance.
Heh, maybe. We tried teaching both my kids ASL at 6 months. The first one managed to get four of five signs before she could talk. The second one has zero, but then again, he doesn't really talk yet either.
It's also useful even after they learn to talk, because you're still gonna have a hard time understanding them until they're well into their second year.

Signs my kid has learned and used, without a lot of prompting from us:
"All done"
"Please" (also means 'yes' -- "Do you want jelly?" "please")
"help"
"water"
"milk"
"food"
I can 100% vouch for this, roughly 90 days ago I implemented:

* 16h+ intermittent fasting

* increased exercise (>600kcal Apple Watch active kcal)

* caloric restriction (average of 450kcal deficit).

I lost 20lbs in 90 days (5ft5in 145 -> 125). I've since gone to a full ketogenic diet as an n=1 experiment.

I find the research on this lacking, but fascinating -- its been a very educational experience. Based on the many papers I've read, and talks I've listened to, it seems like society's current ailments of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease (and maybe Alzheimers) tie back to excess carbohydrate consumption leading to hyperinsulinemia.

Re: this paper -- they cite that "Mice fed a high‐fat diet ad libitum develop obesity, elevated plasma glucose, insulin and leptin levels, and impaired glucose tolerance"
However, reading the source for that, the diet of those mice was: "18% protein, 61% fat, 21% carbohydrates" -- probably still too many carbs.
The general idea that certain statistical problems are intractible is fair though.

But we don't exactly discourage the idea that we will solve, say, nutrition some day.

the principle of parsimony is just that, given equal evidence one way or the other, the simpler explanation (flight only evolved 1 time in birds) is more likely then the more complex one (birds gained flight, lost it, then gained it again).

The fact that there are only 4 times it's happened that we know about is just evidence that it's a fairly rare thing to evolve.

> Companies release these libraries because they benefit the companies. The successes of projects like React help Facebook.

The success of projects like Haskell and OCaml help Facebook too. Should we consider not using those technologies?

It seems the only difference you can point out is that Facebook "owns" React. But this doesn't make any practical difference when it comes to open source. It's like public transportation. If Facebook sponsors a high-speed railway that benefits both them and two cities, so what? That's great for everyone.

If you were talking about a paid SaaS run by Facebook, then I would agree with you. That would be more analogous to supporting Uber than supporting public transportation.

For those who are truly concerned about water rights and extended droughts, I think the simple solution to that person is simply "dont live in an area with very limited water resources." In the next decade, there will probably be a multi-year regional drought that hits a US city (not a countdown to running out drought, but an actual "no water in the domestic pipes" drought), and it will properly force states and the fed to come to grips with reality.

Lenders and fire insurance will be the first to obligate some level of water supply chain assurance. But not until they get burned badly first.
By that logic, doesn't the entire Internet fundamentally violate GDPR?

Yes, I likely commit a couple felonies a day unknowingly. Still, I've never been arrested and I don't have a mug shot. It's not inappropriate for law enforcement to automate processes that are valid and legal for them to do. They are allowed to study the mug shots but it's not reasonable for them to memorize every mugshot. However, automating their recollection via machine learning is reasonable.

Can someone explain to me why this matters?

It feels like CPU advancements in recent memory have brought nothing at all. It used to be, in the early days of smartphones, every generation brought something very new, something that can truly be considered an improvement. I remember the first dual core phone, the first quad core, etc. Nowadays, there is no noticeable difference at all.

Even now, where phones have indeed caught up to computer CPUs in speed, we have yet to see a phone really do anything more with that speed. The one thing I want to see, but nobody seems to be doing it, is a phone that converts into a desktop. Your laptop doesn't have to be separate from your phone. Your laptop could be a dock for your super-fast phone that converts to a desktop operating system. Of course, there have been a few products on the market that have attempted this, but none that lasted.
That's a sociopolitical question more than a technical one. I posit that:

1.) Road safety -- as far as the current operating concept of cars is concerned (eg., high speeds in mixed environments) -- is not a problem that can be "solved". At best it can only ever be approximated. The quality of approximation will correspond to the number of fatalities. Algorithm improvements will yield diminishing returns: the operating domain is fundamentally unsafe, and will always result in numerous fatalities even when driven "perfectly".

2.) With regards to factors that contribute to driving safety, there are some things that computers are indisputably better at than humans (raw reaction time). There are other things that humans are still better at than computers (synthesising sensory data into a cohesive model of the world, and then reasoning about that world). Computers are continually improving their performance, however. While we don't have all the theories worked out for how machines will eventually surpass human performance in these domains, we don't have a strong reason to believe that machines won't surpass human performance in these domains. The only question is when. (I don't have an answer to this question).

3.) So the question is not "when will autonomous driving be safe" (it won't be), but rather: "what is the minimum level of safety we will accept from autonomous driving?" I'm quite certain that the bar will be set much higher for autonomous driving than for human driving. This is because risk perception -- especially as magnified by a media that thrives on sensationalism -- is based on how "extraordinary" an event seems, much more than how dangerous it actually is. Look at the disparities in sociopolitical responses to, say, plane crashes and Zika virus, versus car crashes and influenza. Autonomous vehicles will be treated more as the former than the latter, and therefore the scrutiny they receive will be vastly higher.

4.) So basically, driverless cars will only find a routine place on the road if and when they have sufficiently fewer fatalities than human driving. My assertion was a bit tautological in this respect, but basically, if they're anywhere near as dangerous as human drivers, then they won't be a thing at all.

5.) Personally, I think that the algorithms won't be able to pass this public-acceptability threshold on their own, because even the best-imaginable algorithm, if adopted on a global basis, would still kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. That's still probably too many. I expect that full automation eventually will become the norm, but only as enabled by new types of infrastructure / urban design which enable it to be safer than automation alone.

Understand that agriculture water use and people water use are not comparable. There is typically 10x to 20x water use per acre of farm as there is for one person, Penn state ran some numbers for their region [1], it is even worse in California where people are literally farming in land that is essentially desert.

The bottom line is that if people and communities are replacing farmland then there is a net increase in the availability of water by a large margin.

Something to keep in mind when looking at water availability.

It's really not that bad. Set up a Kubernetes cluster manually, then go set up a Nomad/Consul cluster manually, and you'll see that while just Nomad and Consul is much simpler, you haven't really gotten where you need to be unless you plan on having each of your clients to make separate DNS SRV requests beforehand AND have client-side load balancing. If you want that to be handled transparently for you, you're going to need some kind of virtualized networking or service mesh. You get this out of the box with Kubernetes, and in practice you don't need to set up these clusters manually. That's only valuable to help you understand each of the components better.

tl;dr both fully managed (GKE, EKS) or semi-automated (kops) Kubernetes deployments are less operationally expensive than the "simpler" alternatives. If you think Docker in general isn't worth it relative to just VMs...than you may be right for your use case. But I and many others will tell you that they've migrated from VM based environments to Kubernetes and it's done a lot to reduce operational overhead and increase productivity.
I don't think it's a catch-22 at all. Either the language has an official style guide (C#) and/or formatter (Rust, Go), or it doesn't (C++, Java). Given that black doesn't even seem to comply with PEP-8, I don't consider it acceptable.

I use clang format because it gives me full control over the style I cede control to it because it happens that I can express all of my personal minutiae of hand formatting in clang format rules. In contrast, I currently am writing Java in VS Code, and the Java formatting plugin doesn't give me an easy way to change its rules, so I disabled it entirely.

Oh, it's much worse than that :)

Do the same, but from any country in the world, and make sure your welcome page has multiple languages, including some EU ones. Now you're specifically targeting EU users and you're liable for up to $20 million euros.

The response from GDPR fans is that: a) regulators would never levy such a fine, or b) they can't enforce it, or even c) that of course you should be fined because you're a filthy scammer who is stealing people's data and violating their human rights!

But all that misses the point: in what universe is it reasonable to even make such a claim to begin with? And why should I have to trust that the regulators will be more reasonable than the law requires, or that they won't be able to enforce what they'd like to do? And why should I have to comply because you sent me your info voluntarily??

Is there something that makes the internet different here? If someone in the EU puts some personal info in an envelope and mails it to me and I never get around to opening it and it just sits on a stack with other junk mail, am I now violating their human rights by keeping the info they voluntarily sent to me?

There is a distinction but it has little to do with Linux.

Netops - do you know how to properly configure AWS resources and architect it. This has nothing to do with Linux. If you want to tie your fate to AWS (no judgement), you learn how to do that via the AWS Console, the CLI, CloudFormation or scripting. If you don't want to tie yourself to AWS, use something like Terraform.

Devops: If you're a Windows shop, you can set up a Windows Jenkins server (I wouldn't) or use a CodeBuild agent running on Windows EC2 instance. If you're using Lambda, you can use one of prebuilt Docker containers and create a yml file to run your commands. You can then either use a Lambda or CloudFormation template for deploying your code (if it's a Lambda function - never tried using CF for any other type of deployment)

If you're a Windows developer using the various AWS services, you use the appropriate package.

Where does having to know Linux come in if you're not developing on Linux?
Colons in slices are implemented to the letter of PEP 8. Your disagreement here probably stems from pycodestyle mistakenly enforcing a different rule (no spaces before colons on if-statements, defs, and so on) in the slice context.

The language itself doesn't have an established standard in terms of string quote usage. If it did, Black would follow it. What repr() does is a weak indicator and how the documentation is written is random, there was not only no enforcement as to which quotes to use, there wasn't even a recommendation. Black standardizes on double quotes since it has clear benefits whereas the other option does not.
Totally. I'd say business in general is rather un-intuitive.

Apple's Reputation Tested by Latest Revelations
So you can pitch an unpermitted tent on a city sidewalk, full of stolen bicycle parts, but you cannot leave a scooter there?
There are more histrionics in this reply than the person you’re responding to.

The parent makes an excellent point: it’s easy to argue the other models (micro transactions, subscriptions, paywalls) failed because they were in competition with an industry that has safely operated with little to no regulation for a decade or two.

The ad industry in this situation has an insane advantage because it can make money from end-users without them even being aware that they are involved in a transaction. They don’t have to see a banner ad in order for dozens or hundreds of other businesses to learn about them.

There is no explicit contract between the website and the user in the way that there is when you agree to pay the business money in exchange for the value it offers.

So GDPR levels the playing field by removing that advantage. If an advertiser or another business runs above board they don’t have a problem. More to the point, if they can convince a user to opt in, then they have a serious value proposition to the user too.

Advertising itself is an easy and almost fallacious target. People know about adverts so they use Adblock. People have no idea what a business will do with all of the data that reaches their servers without any JS required.
Now that is cool :-)
There's a lot here. People have been writing books about this for decades.

Two things that need to be succinctly said:

1. Project Management is just another skill, like database management, security, or any one of a hundred other skills a tech team might have. PMs keep trying to take themselves out of the trenches and claim a special place. Every time they do that it is a mistake.

2. He touches on "waterfall" a few times. Physical things decompose into smaller physical things. That's why bridge-building is the way it is. Creative technical work is not a physical thing. It is infinitely decomposable. You take a job creating new tech and split it into 10 pieces, you've got the same job with just a lot more overhead. You can go on forever. Very quickly this natural tendency for decomposition leads to doomed projects.

Intuition will lead you astray in tech project management. Every time.
