They have far more important things to focus on, I wonder why they waste so much time for such a useless feature.
For all the (well deserved) Apple Maps hate, using Google Maps in South Africa on a recent trip was just as bad. Good at finding POIs, but navigated to dead ends and through wrong roads quite often. South Africans, what do you use?
It's common knowledge that it's nowhere near compiled languages for computational speed. It's advantage is massive parallelism and reliability.

Saying Erlang is slow is like saying Ruby is slow. But both are built for problems other than crunching numbers. Not a knock on either language.

Crystal is built in the same vein as Nim - meant to be as quick as C++ but easier to write. Erlang was built for a different use case altogether.

Kind of unfair but any thread about Maps turns into piling on the product rather than actually talking about the issue at hand. I thought Apple maps is actually quite good now. What would it take for that impression to go away?
That is even more delightfully pedantic (and I learned something)
How about stats, similar to serverfault and stackexchange, where you can see how many times the person has upvoted and downvoted?
I believe all requests made to the Apple Maps service does the same thing Siri requests do and cycle through brand new unique identifiers every 15 minutes, making it so Apple can’t identify requests made over more than a few minutes as coming from the same device (and it includes no other identifying information).
Granite, Jennifer.cr and Crecto are the most popular ORM's at the moment.
If the North didn't have a capable fighting force any more, and still overwhelmed the South shortly after the US withdrew, that means the US did not actually establish a "a viable and increasingly democratic society" during the time it had a military presence there. Societal viability includes, at a minimum, being able to survive one's enemies. Enemies that were already drastically weakened during the period of US involvement, by your own account.

Not as bad as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao... could the bar be any lower? If the only way you compare favorably is considering the greatest mass killers of the last century, that should tell you something.
It's been really common for years to split test headlines[1] for content. Even most email marketing platforms have a variation of it, where they stagger out emails, sending out a few variations with different subject lines to a subset of users first, identifying the one with highest engagement, then releasing the email to the remainder/bulk of your email list using that subject.

I wouldn't put it past the major publishers to have moved beyond A/B testing for an overall headline winner to more segmented optimization based on tying A/B performance to first and third party data they have available on you, and further optimizing their headlines to reflect whatever performed well for traffic like you, rather than just performed best overall for all traffic.

Yes, they do, but my parent was saying that his location was worse, with wifi off in the last week, than it was before, also with wifi off. Apple Maps being up and down won't affect your location accuracy if your wifi is off.

(My parent was almost certainly incorrect. Having wifi off has always made location pretty bad on iPhones.)

Hi, Twitter OP checking in.

I was laying in bed at 2:30am after watching a TV show and then playing checkers with my wife, and was about to go to sleep but decided to check Twitter one last time (yeah I'm pretty addicted!)

I usually search for "reactjs i" ("i" to filter out blog spam) and this time I saw a few people commenting on this "star race". I knew both React and Vue are close to 100k, and I found it amusing that just as I opened the website tracker, it was leading by 2 (!) stars.

I knew this would be exciting to a lot of people (folks don't hesitate to tell me they prefer Vue to React every day, as I often seek out negative opinions to learn more). So I shared it with some of my personal thoughts on Vue (see follow-up tweets).

Not sure if you implied I had some sort of hidden agenda but you can just chat to me. :-)
Yes, but you originally said there was no reason for a control key to exist.

The modifiers serve two different purposes: control+something is sent to the remote host, cmd+something is handled by the application.
Does 1 in 1000 false positive mean that 1 in every 1000 passwords not on the list returns a true? If so, that's not good because good passwords vastly outnumber the bad ones so even a small false positive rate makes a positive very very unlikely to be a true one.

For example: let's assume all passwords (including all of the ones on haveibeenpwned list) are exactly 8 chars long and composed of 50 characters.

This gives a lot of headstart to this filter since the way possible passwords outnumber ones on the list is extremely more crushing in reality due to many possible lengths, unbounded length and there being 95 printable ASCII chars to use (even alnums themselves is 62 chars already).

passlen = 8
passchars = 50
badpasses = 501636842
allpasses = passchars ** passlen
falsepos = 0.001
print(badpasses / (badpasses + falsepos * allpasses))

The above script prints 0.012679079642336052, which means (in these extremely forgiving scenario from above where possible passwords are limited to next to nothing compared to real life) only just over one in a hundred positives is a true positive.

This apparently comes up with FP rates for cancer and AV and such (most people dont' have cancer, most exes aren't viruses, etc.).

I might be wrong, feel free to point that out. I'm not a statistician or a doctor, I just had a statistics class as part of my CS degree. :)

Extremely slick.
100% agree. I'm in the Netherlands (Europe, next to Germany) and live in a city with a population of ~120000 people. I often don't find places in Apple Maps, even in the middle of the city. Google Maps just finds everything.

Recently, they build a few new roads which Apple Maps didn't know about (Google maps recognised it very early), so they keep sending people in the wrong direction. After about 3 months i got so annoyed that i sent feedback to Apple Maps to have it added which took me like half an hour to get through the process of adding/feedback.

The sad thing is, the reason why Apple Maps is worse, is probably because they respect peoples privacy. Unlike Google, who follows android phones everywhere (1), and thus has more data, and better maps.

>I don't understand United State's extreme support for Israel. No one ever explains it. You just get either accused of antisemitim or that it's because of AIPAC money. But there has to be more to it than that, there is strong bipartisan support for Israel. Why is it so much in our interest? I'd love to get the real realpolitk explanation.

We use Racktables [0] (currently migrating to Netbox [1]) and a naming scheme like $product-$environment$servertype-$optDetails0[1..n] with a well known set of abbreviations.

Just an aside, I used to work at a custom label printing place (in Ohio even, funny that), which often got convention orders because they had holograms on them.

I think security around conventions can be concern (you don't want someone doctoring a phony badge and walking into a convention with a few thousand people.
I’m not sure why I’m getting downvoted. With your writing skills, you can sell articles. I did that when I started and didn’t have enough connection to get real programming gigs.

Articles pay range from $150 to $500. It’s not difficult to get an article per day done if you have enough commitment.

The second way is least profitable short-term but more rewarding long-term. Start a blog. You’d be surprised how many random people contact you through your blog looking for devs. And some of them are very good clients.
It's getting weirder when you factor in shareholder value: sacrificing the future of the company for looking good in all the fashionable metrics might be exactly the leaders job, depending on how the board is made up.
Because Israel deserves to be supported. They are an open, liberal democracy surrounded by people that hate them and are forced into a very difficult position by their enemies.

The real question is why does the world take such a myopic and shallow view of Israel? Again Israel is forced to do what it must by its enemies. This is a perspective that is ignored by much of the world.
The are subsidies everywhere. The US government subsidized the oil industry for dozens of years, same for agricultural sector and major sectors of the economy (See Great Depression). Currently, electrical vehicles are also receive subsidies in most states.

I'm not a big believer in IP (go Free software!). I find though if we have to strictly follow IP, then the US would have to pay for the use of paper and gunpowder, and many other inventions originating in China.

What I hate so much about that it assumes it's all due to Chinese secretly stealing American IP. Nope - just go to China. People are working extremely hard and industrious. There is also 1.4 billion Chinese. And while there are good American products, there are also great German-made robots and tech, Korean chips, French nuclear reactors that Chinese would rather have than American products. Focus on building better products, work hard, and it will work out.

The limit on guessing can't be enforced if your databases are ever leaked, but even so they would almost certainly be per user, and if you just want a bunch of accounts to post spam, you could just select the 3 most common passwords and brute-force accounts.

Slightly more sophisticated would be to use a botnet to do this, so that you can't block the source.
>Nothing in that article discusses interpersonal neurological response systems or anything relating to how mores and boundaries are created.

Well, we weren't discussing social reasoning and behavior, so I linked an article talking about the systems governing the brain's "objective function".
You could argue the same about their CI/CD features.

I don't necessarily consider this a useless feature. I've edited files live on Github (usually things that are safe to edit, like READMEs) and I wouldn't mind the editor being a bit more feature-rich.
So I have a question. I played around with Web IDE-s a few years ago and they felt really sluggish back then. If anyone is actively using one, how are they now, viable?

My `g pum` alias pushes master to 4 remotes. GNU dislikes GitHub and has 2 gitlab instances plus their primary savannah git hosting. I don't care, GitHub is still the best to work with internally.

Yes, it'd probably be better to look at their Grafana stats on web requests to see if people are staying around.

To me it looks to be up a decent bit, but less than you'd expect from a proper mass exodus event.
I mean other than some file loading they should be fairly comparable to electron based IDEs. The few times I played with one it seemed fine.
That's really what I hope the future is.

I'm shocked Google hasn't tripled their efforts to make the chromebook a code editor masterpiece. You'd think they'd have spearheaded it themselves.

>Your point to me would seem to argue that forcing companies to dig holes is good because it will create a bunch of new hole digging startups.

I’m definitely not arguing that it is good, just acknowledging that’s the way the World works. Just as you acknowledge you don’t understand how to avoid the tariffs, all these comments suggest the same, but I assure you the special interests who got this legislation past have no intention of paying them.

But now when you see the inevitable “tech start up(s)” who take advantage and offer it as a service being championed as disrupters, you can laugh with me at the irony.
The line is pretty blurry these days. If you install enough extensions, it's very difficult to differentiate between Atom/VS Code and a "real" IDE.
It might not be about Microsoft specifically.

It might just be about github no longer being independent.

Or it might more to do with the $7.5 billion sale price, and a wish not to join in a game of "you have to be on github because everyone will look for you on github because everyone else is on github".

(So much the same reason as some people leave Facebook: a wish not to be someone else's product.)
This happened to an Uber driver when I was a passenger, too. He needed to get off the highway and then turn left, he got off the highway and Google Maps told him to make a u-turn, so he crossed the (paved) median and got onto the on-ramp. Once we passed the hotel, Google Maps told him to stop and let me out... still on the on-ramp. We had to turn off the mapping and turn on some common sense.
Seriously, how hard can it be? It's not like it's a completely new form of interaction. Vim and emacs are the ones that are exceptions in regard to UX.
GitHub is a company, not a technology. "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" doesn't apply. Unless of course you're worried about them doing that to git itself, not just GitHub.

This is actually a follow up to the next paragraph in that it doesn't address your specific point but it's also sort of more important: "poor people" go to BK and MD, and we can't be having with the idea that poor people are equally rational but existing in a world of different circumstances/choices. Nope, they need to be told whats best for them. On the left we tax junk food, on the right they demand SNAP/TANF/WIC only cover a very specific subset of food.

None of the soda taxes are particularly well thought out BUT Starbucks does not offer a 64oz anything unlike 7-11, so it's less obvious.
Skype was far more recent than 1995. They have integrated a lot of companies over time and some have done vastly better than others. The risk may be low, but the impact is high enough many are just going to jump asap.

If I am importing a chip and reselling it I am not a manufacturer and yes I pay the tariff.

If I import the chip and use it as a component in my manufacturing of the end product I don’t pay the tariff on that chip.

The idea of the startup, as I mentioned in another comment, would be creating the zone and charging manufacturers to use my Zone. Like an Uber or On demand or WeWork (whatever SV analogy works best for you) of Foreign Trade Zones.
inaccurate in what ways?

I have found them to be fairly accurate in terms of roads and what not. Finding precise locations of addresses is hit or miss. Google and Bing have a huge head start there, but in my opinion are still full of inaccuracies. I have even found some things that google is just wrong but apple maps get it right. I'm obsessed with maps though, so I will spend hours comparing the results of google, apple and bing.
I seriously doubt that their cost of soda runs even $0.30. A 5 gallon bag of Coke syrup (in relatively small quantities) runs $75 and makes 30 gallons or ~500 small cups of soda. At another 10c, the ice and an expensive cup might cost as much as the soda itself, but $0.20 total is probably high for Costco.

Germany. As EU citizen coming back from the US Visa was only a problem in the US. Jobs are much harder to get as in the states. Only professional references and academic titles do count. But I'm not looking seriously enough. Enjoying working for myself.
This is a subtle point. The court ruled that you can't be guilty of threatening to hurt someone unless you actually intend to hurt them. But if you play in the grey space, by intending to create fear of harm without (in the vein of It's Always Sunny's infamous "because of the implication" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yUafzOXHPE), that's apparently legal. Presumably because to some extent the law is not intended to directly prevent crime, but only to deter crime by punishing it. At a social level, it may make sense to "sacrifice" a few people to murder in order to maintain a free society while detering most murders by punishing completed murders, but that's cold comfort to victims and potential victims, and not particularly fair if the risk of victimhood is not uniform across the population.

Bloom HIBP – check Have i been Pwnd with bloom filters in pure python
I am not an art guy but I have read a lot of ARTFORUM. The problem the FA articulates is that in respect of surrealism, Kahlo knew what she was doing and where she was going, but because Mexico was perceived as a "province" or colony and Kahlo was not a dude, they basically treated her as if she were a 5-year-old who had naively stumbled on a craft of making surrealist-like kitsch pictures (per the article, I myself don't know what people were doing with Kahlo in that time frame). No potential for innovation or influence over the "true vanguard" of Art, just a sideshow. Doing something on her own in a way, but a dead end.
