> Sounds like you are also trusting that car. Would this system follow a car into a dangerous situation?

This is more true than it can seem at first. For the GP's point, adaptive cruise behind a car slowing to turn can cause unexpected braking and startle drivers.

Adaptive cruise around sharp corners exposes the current limits of self-driving car vision. These systems usually have a cone of vision in front of the car, that only sees stuff moving 25+ mph in the same direction. Once a leading car is too far around a curve, the adaptive cruise can lose track of the leading car and accelerate sharply.

Some adaptive cruise systems intentionally don't accelerate while on curves, likely for this reason.
People with DSPD DO have a regular sleep cycle. Its off, however. You mixed up DSPD with Non-24.
Angular has always been bloated, but, how has React gotten bloated? Do explain.
Agree that it was harsh response. One definitely don't get evicted for 3 day late rent, I think OP's question is his eventual homelessness. But its hard to tell from OP's question why he is getting evicted for 3 day late rent.

Often it is the other way around.
> Why should Facebook pay for that?

Because the overall health of the open source ecosystem around React and React Native depends upon the cost of development being somewhat predictable.

Most of the bugs in this category are inefficient for most teams to tackle because they get below the surface of the APIs and tooling. Not only is there (by design) no contract for how these things should work, but the appeal of React and React Native is that the developers and teams using them can be selectively ignorant about these things.

In life one must choose which things to devote energy into becoming expert in. These kinds of bugs tend to be show stoppers for teams impacted by them. It's a coincidence that Facebook itself has not been impacted, but someone needs to adopt a higher level view to realize these are very important issues which the maintainer should be addressing as top priority.

Facebook is a many billion dollar company and can surely afford to put a few more top engineers on the team to do this stuff. These things create major credibility issues for React Native supporters in their own orgs.

If Facebook decides to upgrade to a newer Babel library (for instance) and it creates a major issue with an open source library that is used by 30% of React Native projects, this warrants direct attention by Facebook.

If a RN update causes thousands of teams using RN to get failed builds, there should be someone at Facebook trying hard to reproduce the problem even if there is no obvious theoretical reason why it should have occurred and it is not impacting Facebook's builds.

React Native is a great project, but this stuff causes a tremendous amount of thrash and wasted time for the teams impacted. It could be much more efficiently dealt with by Facebook directly (and should be).
If X is the number of times that a Github repo star button has been clicked, minus the times that it has been un-clicked, then as of today X_vuejs > X_reactjs.

I'd be curious of what other metrics Github stars correlates with (# of applications in production, $ in revenue/investment, etc.), but I suppose if Vue ends up replacing React in clear popularity that some will point to this as a significant moment in that history.
The same people that funded Juicero funded Google. It's called risk/reward, and it's a astronomically successful strategy.
Same here. Recently discovered the RSS reader Cappuccino (thanks HN) and so far it seems to fix the problem. It even syncs unread posts between Mac and iPad.
I have one word for you - Polaroid.

Polaroid had really high resolution, a mostly dry development process, and was simple enough to be done by anyone.

20th Century Engineering is amazing.
Exactly. And I think it's safe to stop after the first statement. OP made no mention of offering to go on their own time and dime, and being rejected.
I wouldn’t use the adaptive cruise control on a mountain highway, or any other setting with possibly sharp turns where I have to adjust speed up and down. I wouldn’t use normal cruise control in that setting either.
>"[Harvard] lashed out at the founder of Students for Fair Admissions, Edward Blum, accusing him of using Harvard in an effort to orchestrate a challenge to race-conscious admissions that would go to the Supreme Court."

I feel that in 100 years we will look back on quotes like this and shake our heads at institutions like Harvard actually defending "race conscious admissions".

Absolutely I agree that paid sick leave is discriminating against healthy people. If you're going to pay people to not work, everyone should be equally eligible.
Looks cool, in a similar vein as Zig or NIM it seems?

A few questions:

Out of curiosity, is there a company behind Crystal? or is it a BDFL situation? The press on Crystal has been pretty significant lately which is great. I ask mostly out of historical interest. IIRC Rust/Go seem to had company backing while gaining traction but Python/Ruby were more organic BDFL led projects. Naturally C/Java/C# were literal company products.

While the Ruby-like syntax is not to my taste (prefer Python) it got me thinking about what are the big syntax families?
Off the top of my head I count: Lisp, C, Python, Ruby, Prolog, ML, APL? Preemptively apologizing for only knowing the popularizers over the originals.

Good news then, criminality rates are going down. In particular youth violent criminality. Kids also drink less, get hooked on drugs less and get less pregnant as teenagers.
Also the rate of breaking changes with react is pretty intense. While you can author react without a build tool, and I certainly am using webpack with vue myself, your same vue know how also works for spots where you may not have a build tool available, like freelancing updates to wordpress for people for side money. In those cases you're stuck sticking js into a CMS editor. But vue has you covered in all scenarios from the complex app with webpack and vuex to simple reactive code entered into a cms editor without the benefit of a build tool.
Is outline.com entirely legal? Do we have a guarantee similar services will be available if outline.com goes down? Otherwise, de-GDPRizing and depaywallizing functionality is much needed in adblockers, or even a standalone extension.

Any kind of accept-before-read prompt should die a fiery death. They are making life impossible for those of us who browse in anonymous/incongito mode by default. If it's published via HTTP, it's mine to consume the way I choose and simply reading it has no legal implications on my part.
There is often a positive career boost from presenting at a conference, which I guess you could so weirdly and pejoratively spin as "recognition" or even "self-centered". But not looking out for oneself is stupid and managers who don't look out for their employees' career development are bad managers.

Being weird and shitty and making claims of "narcissism" should come with evidence, or at least an argument.
The project will be financed by the Boring company, not by the city. The Heathrow express in London work on a similar concept, it takes 15 min to go to Heathrow compared to 1h with the tube, and they charge ~10 times the price of a regular tube ticket.
The design is bullshit. People would have their legs crushed as the car descends, and then they would fall into the hole and die.
Interestingly, I feel the opposite: people aren’t getting married because they don’t feel compelled to by society. Marriage is more highly valued than before.

Personally, I’m mid-30s. I’ve been in a long term relationship that, had I lived decades prior, would have been a marriage and ultimately a divorce. She wasn’t right for me, but it was hard to discern at first. Now, if/when I get married, it’s for life - divorce isn’t on the table, and I need to find someone that I’m comfortable marrying with that constraint.
> This is only benefitting people for whom 25 minutes is worth $20/$22.50.

This is not true for everyone though. Business travelers take cabs between the loop and o'hare. So, $25 is actually faster and cheaper -- so it's a great use of their money! Even if it was more expensive than a cab, most business travelers would happily spend a little more of someone else's (company) money to get there faster.

Lenovo Unveils ThinkPad P52: 8th Gen Core or Xeon, Quadro 3200, and 128GB RAM
I'm barely making it but that for me is better in every way than my life as an employee. Corporate products were always disappointments, the teams rarely stayed functional for long, there was zero security, and the money simply wasn't worth the cost of not being able to even try out my dreams in the real world.
I wonder about vulnerability to terrorism here? How easily could a sufficient bomb disable the entire system for weeks or months?

I started thinking this way while standing in line to go through security at JFK. There were about a thousand people milling about, and we hadn't gone through any sort of substantial security yet. And I was thinking that a bomb there could kill more people than taking out an airplane. Yay security theater.
It lends itself to social stability, and has a bunch of benefits for the people who are in those stable marriages. E.g., the life expectancy for men is significantly higher when they are married. It's also generally found to be better for kids to have a stable home life, and we know that being a single parent is very difficult.

That's not to say you have to get married.
One common reason religious/cultural/governmental groups have done so is to build ubiquity, spread ideology and compete regionally or globally.

I'm not saying there's merit to it, but it has certainly bolstered the "importance" of marriage and children.
I absolutely agree. For some people, polyamory works better, and more power to them. But for others, a single partner, married or otherwise, is what they choose. Marriage is itself a strange, archaic ritual.
Awesome. Thank you for your kind words. A lot has changed in 6 years and I learned much more as well. I'll ensure it's a worthwhile upgrade for those who read the first edition as well.

Anecdote, possibly no longer relevant because of political changes (especially 9/11):

I've been in the US for six months, back in 2000. A few days before my visa expired, I was in a fast food and started talking to the guy selling me food. (Not a McD.) Turned out he was the owner :) One thing led to another, I told him I was bummed because my visa was expiring and I had to leave; he said "you speak English very well, I will hire you - none of my guys here have a visa". I didn't want to take him on, the company I was working for at the time had promised me they would try to bring me back (they didn't) and I didn't want to overstay since that would have been an automatic rejection.

The worst thing was... the company I was working for (as a programmer) was paying me around $15 / hour. He offered me $17 :)

Anyway, back to your point. That event had also led me to believe that finding a job in fast food is incredibly easy... I'm surprised to find out it's not.

Bitcoin and ether are not securities, SEC official says
I was intrigued to learn that Musk wanted to build what is essentially a new take on the subway, but after reading this article am totally against the proposal. This is looking far more like an option for rich people to get away from the poors. Short of private helicopters, this is one of the few cities where the public transit option is faster than taking a limo. Musk wants to correct that imbalance by creating a faster option for those who can afford it.

Cities should not support such things. I'm not saying that it shouldn't happen, just that the project shouldn't be given any special treatment, indemnification, or tax breaks. And what do we think will happen to the public option when all the influential people start using the premium service?

Notice also that none of the people in the renderings has any luggage. They aren't even wearing coats. To which magical airport are they headed?
I, too, would like to pat myself on the back for having excellent code management skills, and problem solving. But most of all, for going completely meta on people.
I watched a couple of hours of it myself and saw moments like the "senator, we run ads" moment happen. A lot of the things the media was running off about was taken well out of context. That moment, for example, was not nearly as "oh my god look at this old fart" as Twitter made it. They had already established the fact that FB makes money off ads and the senator was basically poking to see if there was any thought towards another way to make money.

Honestly a fair number of quality questions were asked and deflected by Zuck, and he knew how to play some moments to make the senators look stupid for those social media soundbites. But to be fair, an alarming number of questions were also either very poorly formed (intention was there, a millennial proofread would have helped though) or were thinly veiled self indulgent political maneuvers. Zuck actually did a good job defending net neutrality at one point where the line of questioning was obviously a nod to the ISP cabal.
I believe the reasoning would be that it's good for kids. Statistically it is - relative to divorced or unmarried parents.

If the new norm were flexible open relationships however, that wouldn't necessarily correlate with worse outcomes for children. I think we just don't know.
I'm guessing they meant "Explain like I'm five". Though I usually see it abbreviated as ELI5.
Thats a great point about the CMS use case!

I've been in the kind of spot you're in. I survived it. There's nothing so special about me. You can do it, too.

Every day make a careful, accurate inventory of the things that are under your control and the things that are not. Don't worry about the things that are not under your control; they're none of your business. They're like the weather: they come and go as they will.

Focus on the things that are under your control, on finding out what is the best thing you can do about them. Do it as well as possible.

You can survive the loss of a job. You can survive losing a place to live. You can survive diagnosis of a debilitating, incurable illness. You can survive the loss of the future you thought was ahead of you. I survived all of these, and went on to do things that I judge to be good and worthwhile.

Like I said, there's nothing so special about me. What I can do, you can do.

Some of the other comments have good ideas and good advice. Take those and use them.

Some comments are unhelpful. Forget those.

Remember: I lost my job, my family, my home, my career, and my health. I'm still here. I still do things that I think are good and worthwhile. Some of the best things that have ever happened to me happened after my great catastrophe.

I did it, so you can do it.

I wish you the best of luck.
Despite its flaws it generally works in terms of creating a stable social structure and especially in raising children. Which I mean I suppose we could just decide that’s no longer important...we’ll probably be dead before society totally unravels. Besides, at least that way we can one-up the baby boomers on something, even if it is destroying western civilization.

Okay, so I’m being a bit hyperbolic. But still — in a world which is increasingly isolated and people are more atomized and mentally ill than ever, is it really a good idea to abandon “the family” as it currently exists?
Every new developer I know is picking React because that's what the jobs want.
> open and polyamorous relationships in a large way.

There is the concept of PACS in France, which is a legal association between two people, that doesn't have any predicate on sentimental relationships.

Of course it is mostly used as a lighter version of marriage, and ersatz for people who can't marry in the first place, but on the legal framework it's open to any pair of two people.

I'm bringing it up because the main issue with open relationships is who gets legal standing for anything official (even trivial stuff as legal representation, inheritance, shared resources etc.). A system like PACS lets you have open relationships while setting a pair of strongly binded people for when the proverbial shit hits the fan.
If all you ever deal with are what are known as "embarrassingly parallel" problems, where you don't need to do any synchronization or intermediate communication between cores, then true parallelism isn't really needed and you can do whatever you were trying to do with simple process forking or something of that nature. Problems that are not embarrassingly parallel often require frequent and complicated communication and synchronization between cores. For this you need to use a real multi-threading library, or do some complicated message passing on a per-process level. If you need hundreds of workers, it is better to use something more light-weight than a thread, as Go does. Once crystal's parallelism support is added, it will have these light-weight "go-style" threads, so this complaint will disappear.
Because Ruby is a really nice language to write code in (minus some quirks) and everyone would love a language with similar programmer experience, but much faster.

I'm confused about the state of threading in Crystal. See the last message in : https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/1967#issuecom...

I'm hoping to see more languages with light-weight threads automatically mapped (multiplexed) to physical threads, like in Go. So far, based on the crowd-sourced table I started working on, it is otherwise only Ada, Haskell and Pony (in addition to Go) that seems to meet these criteria:

I have no data on this, what is polyamory in practice? Is the equilibrium polygamy for a few alpha males and the rest maintaining their wives and children?
I'd add:

Unless you have a good reason to say "No" [1] to stuff, say "Yes". Doubly so in outside of a "work task" context[2]. More experiences/involvements means more opportunities for fortune to look your way.

[1] Good reasons to say "No" - already committed, the ask will hurt you, I need rest, i can't afford that.
Bad reasons - this is odd/out of my comfort zone/not interesting, it violates a routine, "I'm waiting for..."

[2] I really really mean "outside of work tasks" because just saying yes to every little request at work can result in work overload and the inability to do life. The point of work is to enable life, not to spend the entirety of it staring at $IDE.
Not to interfere with your cynicism, but the important information here is that Boring Co. is funding the construction itself. It's not public money being spent, and schools would be unlikely to receive any extra funding without this project.

And, of course, this project is far more important as a real-world proof-of-concept for the technology than it is for its expected use for travelers. Reducing tunnel costs by 95%(!) would quite obviously result in dramatic quality-of-life improvements.
> In Toronto, where the subway system doesn’t reach the international airport, a brand-new airport express line has fallen seriously short of ridership expectations, even with its one-way fare of $12.35

The reason this is failing is because of awareness. I travel to Toronto for work 4-5 times every year (for the past 12 years). I heard about this extension being approved a couple years ago and I've never seen a sign for it in Pearson (there must be some somewhere). I've also asked people who live in Toronto whatever happened to this project and nobody even knows what I'm talking about.

Meanwhile, I learn from this article that it's actually up and running and they not only consider it a failure but they're using it to say other transit systems won't work. A Musk built project won't fail on awareness like this project has.
> "Otherwise I'll be happy to do it, as long as you're OK with pushing X back a week"

While I agree with your sentiment, this only works in a workplace where management is willing to adjust deadlines and expectations in these situations. I've seen and experienced (bad) managers with a mindset of "Just get it done" or worse. It's usually a great sign that it's time to move on.
