> EVs actually do better in stop and go traffic than driving flat out at 75 mph, because of the lack of wind resistance and the ability to do regenerative braking.

This may not be true for Teslas. Most EVs and hybrids will increase their regenerative braking when the brake pedal is pressed, and use mixed braking at slow speeds and hard stops. Teslas, however, maintain a constant rate of regeneration when not accelerating, and apply the mechanical brakes when the brake pedal is pressed, without increasing regeneration. Thus, Teslas waste most of their energy as heat when not driven in one-pedal mode.

My Camry Hybrid has a "CHG" section on the lower "tachometer", where the needle dips when I press the brake pedal. Braking carefully to a full stop from freeway speeds regenerates enough energy to maintain 35-40 mph for 10-15 miles. Often I can get above the estimated 40mpg (sometimes over 50mpg) in stop-and-go freeway traffic, rolling along on battery, only using the engine for a few seconds to occasionally sharply accelerate.

The Model 3's abysmal (and recently improved) stopping distance may have something to do with this. Many EV enthusiasts tout the reduced stopping distance benefit of mixed braking. However, Teslas do not currently perform this sort of mixed braking, so they miss out on this benefit. Could it be a software update away?
There are lots of interesting radios that can give you a few miles of low-bandwidth coverage - gotenna linked above, lorawan, or even borrowing a temporary tower from your local cell provider, but the challenge is that $40 tablets don't support any of those frequencies. The best you're going to get is to deploy a mesh of ubiquiti nanostations or similar (which actually works pretty well)
Golang can be the biggest offender in this regard because you import by typing the URL to a github repository... Better hope someone mirrors those projects if they ever go poof. It's not even a generic import to a package[0]. Gotta be fun to have to update all those imports later if a project moves to another host to avoid Microsoft.

I dont disagree, React has some solid underpinnings but for now VUE has some momentum, till the next one comes along. Google gave up on the idea long back. Google develops Angular but doesnt use it in any of their core products. They themselves use Google Closure library for gmail or word processor.
This is a bit of a stretch. There was a lot of work done on improving tablet support in K, L and M, including work to specifically support the Nexus 9 and Pixel C. There was also the addition of multi-window, etc.
People have accused PG of that.

I don't see it in Naval.

He's neither excessively/falsely modest, nor an egomaniac blowhard like plenty of others in that sphere.

He just shares the concepts he thinks have been beneficial to himself and others in achieving success.

His success speaks for itself, so it can't be dismissed as shallow.
Another version of this is that the Vitamin C gene itself mutated into something useful, or that not having it was in and of itself a small benefit given ample dietary C. A quick google shows there has been some speculation about this, but nothing definitive.
Also smartphone screens became larger and took usecases from tablets.
There actually have been a few attempts at "convergence," notably Canonical with Ubuntu phone. The reasons behind the failures are complicated, and IMHO haven't been proven definitively, but IANA expert in that field (just a consumer that really, really wants that).

I only mention this because it's possible Google watch the others crash and burn and decided not to enter.
rDNS can be populated with a great deal of useful information, if you are trying to diagnose an asymmetric routing issue between two internet service providers. Particularly if both of them have had the forethought to give reasonable, understandable, hierarchical names to their globally distributed POPs. Other things like "ae" that show up in a traceroute can be indications of an 802.3ad aggregated link, which juniper calls an Aggregated Ethernet. Same as interface abbreviations for Cisco and juniper you will find like "hu", "te", "xe", etc.

One example: say you have a $200/mo dedicated server customer, as an ISP, you're giving them a /29 of public IP space. That /29 exists as a vlan subinterface of one of your juniper routers and is trunked across the datacenter through various switches to the server. Let's say it's vlan 2659. Somewhere in the public rDNS for the default gateway IP of that /29, you would have the string "vl2659”.
Well stated. I think there's also a key difference between happiness, which my parents' generation [boomerish] constantly cites as a kind of fixed life goal, and contentedness, which I consider as a state of being more or less able to tolerate your own existence.

The word "happy" is related to luck and chance -- like 'happenstance' -- and used to mean something like "fortunate." [see 'Hamlet' - "We are happy in that we are not overhappy... on Fortune's cap we are not the very button..."] Whereas lately, it's come to indicate an emotional state somewhere in the vicinity of joy. Even so, the word's earlier use points up something key about high emotional states : they are fleeting and fickle, just like the strumpet Fortune.

For my part, I think that if I'd heard more about contentedness as a goal in my formative years, and less about happiness , the hedonic treadmill would have been much easier to avoid -- or, at least, consciously manage.

Because much of the free software world uses it as a coordination place - it's a weak, undefended target. If they were to buy it and quickly shut it down, the free software world would be in a tailspin for quite awhile. Microsoft could use the delay to push for legislation across the world to force developers to have a Microsoft(Linkedin/Ripple enabled) license attached to their (Microsoft) global ID. Within a year or two it could be illegal, worldwide to possess non-Microsoft licensed crypto software, then eventually all software. Especially look for software relating to the boot process/BIOS related stuff - that's another weak point right now, but there are probably others.
This really needs to happen. I want all my state in the cloud. Whatever device should sink up with that state down to the desktop and window manager.

AI Grant | Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | REMOTE/ONSITE | aigrant.org

AI Grant is an AI research lab. Our goal is to invest in promising people around the world working on AI. We think the world is filled with extraordinarily productive people that don't come from a traditional background. We're making software that screens for them and supports them with a community. We're a very small team. We'll remain small for a long time. We're looking for a generalist who can build web and mobile products without much detailed guidance. ML experience a plus.

Lack of a credentialed resume is fine. The only thing we'll be looking for is experience building lots of stuff. Even a bunch of side-projects on Github. We like working with people on-site, but we're happy to start remote if there's a path towards eventual relocation.

Just email us to apply: team@aigrant.org. Include your resume and an example of something you built that you’re proud of.

I totally agree. There was a rumor a couple years ago that Samsung was going to make a "pure Android" phone and I got pretty excited for that, but alas the "pure" experience shipped with crapware and their custom launcher D-:

I do actually know someone that loves Samsung software, but it's rare. I think they'd get really far if they would make it light and easy to remove. I really don't see any disadvantages to that approach, unless they're being paid to include things (which is entirely possible).

Yeah, that's a good point. The old 7" tablet market is kind of pointless when 6.5" is a normal phone size.

That's not really a problem with jQuery, that's a problem with the way people were using it.

Also, a slow loading JS lib wasn't as much of an issue 5-7 years ago when jQuery was really in its heyday. Web pages were simpler and more information based back then and it was usually a requirement that they be useable without javascript. Since you are (should be) loading jQuery at the end of the page (or asynchronously) the page should render just fine without jQuery and probably would have been loaded by the time any user interaction would have happened.

Also, since users were on computers (mobile wasn't really a thing) and data usage wasn't a limiting factor (most plans were unlimited), loading extra data didn't really matter that much.

Yeah, jQuery had extra functions that you didn't need, but it didn't really hurt much at the time and there wasn't really a better option.

Read the nightmare letter.

How hard is it to reply to just “a few” questions like that?
I hope you never have to experience the non-theoretical side of that decision.

The benefits of being able to resolve internal IPs external isn't even really a benefit - if I can't resolve internal.hostname.domain then I'm not on the VPN, which means I can't reach the machine anyway, so where's the benefit?

A perfect example of why this threat isn't merely theoretical is the $36k bug bounty that Google paid out recently[0]. With additional knowledge of their internal network exposed by the information leak from DNS, the damage a blackhat could have done is untold.

The problem isn't the exposition of hostnames and addresses, the problem is if blackhats do manage to get access to the internal network (through whatever means; breaking into the VPN, a hole in the firewall, social engineering, RCE in the public facing website as in Google's case), it's undoubtedly easier if they've been given a list of juicy targets, rather than have to discover them for themselves.

While there are "flip" style laptops, most of them are not. Try typing on a laptop (and its keyboard) while standing/walking around and without a table or any surface to rest the laptop on.

It's really cumbersome.

The solutions are to hunt and peck type with both thumbs, or use one hand to hold the laptop and type with one hand, both of which are pretty dumb really, IMO. (Especially on a 15" laptop.)
vcs are millionaires because they invest other people's money and only need a little bit of success. why aren't we all trying to be vcs? lots of failures are just fine.
I don't think "utilitarianism" incorporates any principle that homeless people are worthless. Really, depending on how you define utility, it can be molded into anything. Note that harvesting organs means he will definitely die, but the organ transplants may fail, or may only work for a limited time. It could be rather than assuming "two lives saved minus one life lost" you should use "probability/quality adjusted years of life gained". And incorporate uncertainty.

Also, in your example of pushing someone in front of the train, wouldn't your moral intuition depend on the stakes? Suppose that the train not being stopped was going to set off a chain reaction that would kill all life on earth?
The problem with Microsoft's attempt at convergence is that they're making Windows computers worse to make tablets better. And the other half of their convergence play - windows phone - failed completely. Making tablets more like computers is cool, but let's not turn real computers into tablets while we're at it.
Most of this comment is just you being dismissive about an idea without any real reason presented for being dismissive. The only useful bit here is actually in your linked comment which most people will probably not see and that is that lazy loaded images tend to fail a lot on poor internet connections. I would argue that even in that case, lazy loading images arent necessarily bad depending on the situation: imagine a site like imgur, where you will likely browse to another page without ever loading all of the images. In that case, the browser would still have loaded the image if it were an img tag and this way you get to the next page faster. Sometimes the browser will cancel the img download, but its not reliable. If the js were coded to handle errors on loading the image, that would probably be a better situation overall.

I feel like the word "proprietary" means something different to me than the author. When I think of proprietary I think of a closed standard that may or may not be copyrighted/patented. Something like React would not even come close to my definition.

Brad Frost makes most of his money telling people what they should do instead of actually _doing_ himself.

And GDPR doesnt help with that. I cannot send Facebook a request for my shadow profile, nor demand they delete all such data, as I have no way to ‘identify myself’ to them unless I have a Facebook account.
Being used to jQuery, I really see no reason not to use it in new projects. I could learn all the new native equivalents, and even then still ending up doing more work than if I'd been using jQuery, just to save a little bit of page load time and filesize, but it would almost certainly not be worth it.
It's a mathematical construct that is a core part of the theory physicists use to make highly accurate predictions about many of the low-level dynamics of reality.

It seems to usually be visualized as 2d plane-like sheet that can oscillate, and those oscillations represent particles. In reality it should be 3d, but that is much harder to draw.

Ok I see your use case: you load page on good connection, then connection get worse and images are not loaded when you scroll to it.

This component allows to retry image load (click on it).

It can be even more smart, like if network is good go ahead and download everything. Need to think about it
I switched from a Surface Pro 3 to an iPad Pro 9.7” and found Apple’s stylus to be much more accurate. It’s not a huge deal for roughly capturing handwriting, but the Surface’s Ntrig digitizer relies a lot on smoothing out strokes, if you try to draw a slow diagonal line you can see a ton of wobble as the stroke gets pulled around by the digitizer’s grid.

You lose out on having a full desktop OS when you need it, and not having an eraser on the back of the stylus is an adjustment, but it’s a fantastic device for writing and drawing. More recently they’ve brought the stylus support down to the entry level iPad, so if you have an Apple Store nearby I’d definitely recommend stopping by to try it out.

Hardware Guy – A short story (2010)
DNS and IP routing (in the bgp/ospf/isis/rip/etc sense of the word) are two different things - you could theoretically build a rather large ISP with many peers and upstream transits but with no DNS. Just AS numbers, prefix lists, acls, vrfs, and v4 and v6 blocks from ARIN.
I got a bit of that recently. After finally grasping a bit of electronics (which eluded me for years), I ... ended up thinking then what.

Got me thinking that these are important but to an extent only, basic human life is what makes you (only me?) happy. Smooth schedule and smooth people interactions...
Sure, but without the Royal Commission, I doubt there would be consequences.
I wouldn't say jquery was bad. It was really a nice API with interesting innards. Easy to abuse, of course, it was too popular not to end up being the first thing people try to have 'modern' websites.
> It made functional programming mainstream in front-end development.

I totally agree, and in fact I would take it a little farther and say it's making functional programming mainstream on the backend as well. Many people I've worked with got their taste via React/Redux and then started adopting things like Elixir/Phoenix for the backend.

Maybe it's an overstatement, but I credit React with driving at least some of that.
The problem is that people just don't buy a lot of tablets compared to smartphones. This is true of iPhones and iPads also. If you take a look at the most recent annual SEC report for Apple [0], you can see that Apple sold 5 iPhones for every iPad in 2017, and the number of iPads sold has dropped for the two years prior to that. It doesn't matter if Google/Nvidia/Samsung could or couldn't make a good Android tablet when people just don't buy many of them, unfortunately.

That said, I still have the Nexus 9 I got at Google I/O 2015, which didn't really live up to expectations despite costing as much as an iPad a the time. The rubberized plastic has begun to wear off, the display has started to show a small air bubble (!) in the top corner, and the flash speed is so slow that you can actually watch Chrome animate a new tab open. Not to mention Android 7.1 is the latest update for that device. I don't think Google tried to make a tablet that people would really want, so a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy there.

I say this as a full-time Android developer, so maybe my expectations are a bit high, but who knows...

Eh... this is way overstated. You don't have to be a lawyer to file a pretty solid 12(b)(6) motion, which gets you through the obviously idiotic suits. I'd rather file one of those than do GDPR compliance documentation.
Yes. Otherwise you end up with carve outs like happened to a friend in Bellaire, TX. The City of Bellaire uses Nextdoor to send out emergency alerts and other useful information, but the citizens and not the city decide the Nextdoor boundaries for "City of Bellaire".

So my friend who lives in a neghborhood of condos that the snobs in million dollar homes intentionally left out can't get the alerts from his own municipality.
It’s not ‘nothing to worry about’ until the various enforcement bodies across the EU all establish predictable patterns of behavior and sanctions. Until then, nobody wants to be the first wrist slapped just to see how much it hurts.
They are busy going after Kim Dotcom.
It still doesn't hurt. Less than 300k of a cachable library isn't a big deal for mobile data, and jQuery has never (in any example I know pf at least) been the reason a mobile page is slow. Sites like the default mobile reddit manage to be absolutely atrocious without it (10+ seconds to load anything even on wifi), yet lots of sites with it are completely fine on any smartphone in current use (such as the same phone mobile reddit takes 10 seconds to load on because it's using some awful ajax setup - seriously, they had perfection with .compact and just abandoned it for this crime against humanity).
I feel this in relationships from time to time as well. We end up talking about it though, and figure out that the situation we ended up in was not a good one. We bring what we can, don't try to make the other person happy but rather try to make oneself happy and that in itself has a positive effect on the other partner.

I myself rather watch someone when they have something that they are eager to tell or show, rather than on a schedule. It feels like we all got that nerve as watchers, when we expect something to occur at a certain point in time with a certain quality we are effectively eating up the spontainious creativity.

My advice is to tell the audience that you need a break, you still want them to hang around. But you need to have faith in them being there, very much like any relationship. Or else it's up to you to satisfy the audience, when it's actually up to them to enjoy the stream.

Audience is a toxic that we should be vary with, not healthy to be in too much, but that's just my own opinion. It's nothing weird, just how it is.
