lol - as if those are coming anytime soon with the way Uber and Tesla are killing people. It's not like they're making a real argument here anyway - it's just a red herring.

It's interesting to see how easy people are swayed by a simple knock on the door. Are there any campaigns/koch-brothers-types like this but on the other side of the political fence? I feel like I don't know of any off the top of my head but maybe that's because I only pay attention to news about the right and not listen to news /from/ the right.
Try doing the vertical arrow technique by David burns (google it) to see if it helps.

Basically sometimes the thing you're worrying about isn't actually the thing that is the core of your worry and this technique helps a lot with that.

For example if you're worrying about going out ask what does it really mean.. you'll come up with something like "the other person may not like me" again what does it mean "I'm a total bore" what does it mean "I'll be alone and lonely", etc. Once you get to the bottom of it then put the cognitive distortions and rational explaonations as explained.. the bottom line is when you write things down it becomes easy to see where the distortions are and fix them. But you will need to do it a lot and soon you may starts seeing results. Of course it's just my 2 cents and so ymmv.
Yeah, I was being somewhat rhetorical. :-)

cached images go in /var on the boot drive

Something so commonly-known that even I, not exactly a Darwin kernel dev, knew that. Another comment called TFA "blog spam", and I can't argue strongly that they're wrong.
That's a big one for me, particularly with the way I prefer to write all my React components: as stateless functional components (just a function that takes props as its only argument and returns some JSX). For adding state, lifecycle methods, etc. I'm using recompose, which is also generic enough that I could easily see myself reimplementing it for some future view library.
I have no experience with either of these. I read this as "that framework which makes native applications for most major platforms now targets the web browser".

If the above is even 2/3rds what happens, what stops QT from taking over all multi-platform targeted applications "one <toolkit> to rule them all" style?
You're right! I'm sure there's plenty of high-grade apps still out there that are built on jQuery plugin spaghetti code. No problem with that at all. No reason to criticize that either in any way shape or form. jQuery spaghetti is still a perfectly delicious way to enjoy a web app. Who doesn't love spaghetti?

> You can drop frames at 60Hz ss well.

Yes, what I was trying to get at is that just because the hardware is capable of 60 frames in a second, that doesn't mean the software was delivering 60 frames a second. The iPad Pro has a different processor than the iPad (A10X Fusion vs A10 Fusion), and in a lot of tests it's significantly faster.[1]

The iPad pro does have more pixels to push around, but that doesn't exactly negate the CPU difference, it just makes it more complicated to draw an actual comparison. That that's before we even get to the actual graphics processor, which itself could do a better job of offloading some processed to hardware (better OpenGL/Metal/whatever support). For all we know, you were seeing a average of 35 updated frames a second on the iPad, and you're now seeing an average of 55 updated frames on the iPad pro. In that case, the doubling of the screen refresh might help a little (in reducing noticeable laggy frames a bitas it can update between what would be frames at 60Hz), but it wouldn't be earth shattering. I doubt it's that bad, but as an example, this should show how a Hz rating on what a screen is capable of doesn't mean much.

The real benefit of higher screen refresh rates is to better support different lower native refresh rates. Much video content is at 24 FPS. A 30Hz or 60Hz screen can't represent that faithfully, and will need to double some frames. A 120Hz screen can perfectly represent 24 FPS content[2], and that's the real reason screens (and TVs) ship with that refresh rate. Different media (television, internet video, DVDs, Blu-Rays, video game systems, etc) all have different refresh rates they want to deliver.

2: I'm ignoring that it's often actually 23.976 FPS or something.

The NYTimes article on yanny/laurel [1] was quite good, though: it included a tool with a slider that applied a pitch shift and frequency gain to the sound clip in order to bias it towards either "yanny" or "laurel". This let people hear both words even if their brain could only hear one of the interpretations of the original clip, and it was interesting to experiment with how much shift was needed to make it cross over. (Personally, I beat them to it :) – when I first heard of the clip, I uploaded a quick YouTube video for some people that just pitch shifted the original up and down, which is enough to make the interpretation cross over. But the interactive slider is better.) There was also a spectrogram visualization. Besides that, the main article had a thorough explanation of the origins of the clip, quotes from several different researchers about how the illusion worked, and other bits of relevant context. All in all, I'd call it high-quality reporting, and I don't see any problem with it ranking high on Google.

How do you measure your urinary ketone levels? I'm interested in trying out a ketogenic diet.
In a normal company, you could absolutely not create a fictitious account that way, or re-use the credentials of someone who just left. But more important, there is a very, very long way from having created a fictitious person to being able to push stuff to production in their name.

The former restriction is maybe difficult enough to efficiently implement in an organization that it's excusable (we have a scheme for it at $work, but it unfortunately means that sometimes people show up at work and the paperwork isn't ready yet and some of the accounts they need aren't yet ready).

The latter, on the other hand, is security 101 and not implementing it on the production floor is just irresponsible. I really hope it's not what happened.

With the new discounts on preemptible GPUs (https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/06/Introducing-imp...), the economics of quickly spinning up a fleet of GPUs with Kubernetes for a quick parallelizable ML task become very interesting. (assuming that Google allows enough GPU quota for a fleet of GPUs for nonenterprise users anyways)

What I want to use Kubernetes + instant-GPU-fleet for deep learning hyperparameter grid searching. (i.e. spin up a lot of preemptible GPUs; for each parameter config, train the model on a single GPU in parallel for linear scanning speed scaling).

Kubeflow (https://github.com/kubeflow/kubeflow) is close to this functionality, but not quite there yet in user-friendlyness. (you have to package everything in a huge Docker container and launch jobs from the CLI; ideally what I want to do is to spawn containers and start training directly from the JupyterHub notebook on the master node)

Sure enough, out of the woodwork comes the Marxist brigade, ready to pounce on anything that does not privilege the good of the group over that of the individual.

It's an irreconcilable difference that lives at the very heart of an individual's soul and that no amount of intelligent discourse can tackle.

You're either putting the individual first and the other side immediately and without a second thought classifies you as an arseh*le, or putting society above the individual and the other side immediately sees you as a sheep that has surrendered everything that makes humans interesting, who willingly chooses to be an ant, trading his pride and individuality for the safe and warm meekness of being protected by the group.

Caches it where, on the root filesystem? Which is encrypted by default since... ages?
I won't speak for the file managers in particular, but on linux it is common practice for cached data to be stored in dot files like ~/.cache/ even if the original data is on a different encrypted mount. It is a pretty deeply engrained practice that can easily leak secrets if you aren't careful. Another example of how security is hard to bolt on after the fact.

One example I've seen was that if you filled out a form in Okular, it would store the form data in a dot file in your home directory rather than in the original PDF or a file adjacent to the PDF. Not sure if that was ever fixed.

This is what I learned from Dale Carnegie, which seems to help. Imagine the very worst thing that can possibly happen, and try to imagine your life with that reality. See that it's not actually so bad. Then, do everything you can to prevent that from actually happening. Taking action, instead of thinking about it, helps. Also, distract yourself with positive relationships and exercise.

How does increasing the resolution cause aliasing? Shouldn't it be the opposite?

There’s nothing enjoyable about Vue’s syntax. It’s not really HTML, and not really Javascript (it’s Javascript-like ... sometimes). Same goes for Angular, Polymer and Svelte.

And on the Javascript side Vue actually breaks existing assumptions about code. For example, it hoists methods and properties and makes `this` available where it can’t be available.
I've never heard anyone say that you can do X in Vue much easier than in React. I've heard a bunch of people say that it's easier to learn than React, but I found React very very easy to learn anyway. Basically, I've not heard a convincing reason to look into Vue yet, so I haven't.

Also, people contact me about jobs involving React several times a week. I've never been contacted about a job involving Vue. Not once.

I'm sure Vue is good, but shrug, so is React.
Is that true? Do you have a source on that?

You are actually the one doing bad math. In statistics, you start with a null hypothesis, which is represented by the status quo (in this case, autonomous vehicles aren't any better than humans in terms of crashing), and use the data to try and prove it wrong.

But in this case, the outcome of interest is quite rare. Despite the high numbers of people dying in car related accidents each year, the number of accidents that occur for the total number of miles driven by US drivers is very small. So in order to draw inference about whether autonomous vehicles improve on that rate, you need a huge amount of miles driven by autonomous vehicles. None of the companies have really approached that level of testing, to say nothing of the fact that most of the miles driven so far aren't on similar, real world conditions that US drivers face, making any statistical conclusions even more difficult.

For a period of a few months a couple years back, I was extremely worried about my house being broken into while I was asleep. Eventually it got bad enough to effect be seriously effecting my sleep. I would stay up late worried about it until I basically couldn't stay up anymore.

One of the things that helped me the most was sitting down and thinking, if I was going to break into someone's house, would I choose this one?

There ended up being a lot of reasons not to break into my house. We always kept our front and rear porch lights on. We had houses extremely close by on both sides, so the chances of being seen are much higher than if you broke into one of the houses at the edge of our little neighborhood. We had two larger dogs that would definitely bark if anyone unfamiliar so much as walked by. There were much larger and nicer houses nearby to break into instead.

This thought experiment didn't put the irrational part of my brain to rest immediately, but it did help considerably with the anxiety. Eventually my anxiety went away entirely - I think it was being caused by the fact that I was out of work at the time and facing a lot of stress trying to find a job. It just happened to manifest as an irrational fear of break ins.

Anyways, I recommend anyone suffering from excessive anxiety talk to a professional about it. However, it can take a long time to get an appointment depending on where you live, so I would recommend my strategy as an interim measure while you wait.

For what it's worth, I've also had a phobia of spiders my entire life and have recently been applying a similar technique to fix it. Watching videos of spiders on the internet, especially videos of people handling spiders, has decreased the anxiety I experience around them significantly. I can even kill them by myself now, instead of freezing up and asking my wife to do it. I hope to keep working on it until I feel comfortable enough to either not kill them and just let them be, or to transport them outside.

> What do you mean by “being full access”?

In general I just meant that the GUI would attempt to reduce assumptions and be as flexible as possible. Ie, I would want to be able to control multiple cursors. Control multiple highlights. etc

Bonus points if it provided various events to trigger built in IDE features like auto complete popups, debug breakpoints, file panes, etc.

Fwiw, I don't think a "generic" interface is ideal. Perhaps for basic editor tasks, but when writing a kak<->sublime (fake example), I think it's acceptable to write it specifically for sublime. Having that binding be interchangeable between sublime, atom, xi, etc seems overreaching with little to gain.

Though, to a degree a subset of general commands which all editors support would be really handy. Similar to the Language Server Protocol, if Sublime implemented the fake "Editor Server Protocol" it would allow Sublime to instantly support Kak, Vim, Nano, etc. ESP extensions for Sublime, VisualStudio/etc would provide full functionality without affecting the ESP Core.

Hmm, this is neat. Perhaps a bit lofty, I just want a nice GUI for Kakoune hah.
Great article! Can you also do an analysis of the lack of security in that galaxy?

I really want to use Go and I already know the language itself but this post[1] makes me scared to the point where a language as big as Scala makes more sense to me than learning a simple language but with a ton of things on the side to know. Is it really accurate compared to this post?

The only thing I hate about it is the super slow CPU, but that's only partly because of Apple.

If apple had upgraded the MBP internals for WWDC, it could have had the i7 8650U by now, instead of the i7 7660U. That's a quad core part compared to a dual core part, which runs up to 50% faster in multi-threaded workloads.

It’s not encrypted by default. FDE is something you have to enable.
I don't think it should be framed as Vue vs React in the first place.

I would love to convert from dot files to roughjs images. There are a lot of tools that come close to bridging this gap, but I can't quite find the combination. Maybe someday I'll write the missing pieces.
I agree completely, but not everyone does. Either way, my point still stands. I think it'd be just as much of a tough sell if people with (for example) depression were being given free flying lessons.

People have a hard-wired need to feel that things are "fair". I think we'd probably all get along a lot better as a species if we could drop that notion and concentrate on what A) works and B) is cost effective.
