That's hilarious. :) I agree that non-techies have plenty of ways that they're actually more balanced on average, and there are plenty of ways that a lot of techies probably seem scary to other people as well.

However, I think GP's point that the open Internet is that vulnerable to people's short-sighted social media desires IS scary. Equally scary that some people spend no time outside.

So I had to point that out despite enjoying your ironic jab.
What if facebook isnt trying to get rid of the media? What if that is actually users being sick of it?

Mind you facebook has driven me to the point I stopped using it entirely.
Not necessarily. Even without GPS, commercial airliners have a good idea of where they are using their INSes (inertial navigation systems). That technology well predates GPS receivers being common in aircraft. Most of the Boeing and Airbus aircraft you fly, for example, have 3 INSes and probably 2 GPS receivers. All of the data feeds into the computers to average to the position the plane thinks it's actually at. When the GPS signal is reliable, that may be used as the actual position and can be used to keep the INS drift minimized, so if the GPS signal is lost (or the receivers malfunction), the INS takes over as the primary source of position data. This is all further supplemented and verified with radio navigation aids -- as the planes fly along their routes, the airplane computers automatically tune in to various radio navigation aids. In short, even for the newest big commercial jets, functional GPS is very much optional and positional data is quite good without it.

As for the moving maps on the seat-back displays: I guess it all depends on the data source they use. If they have their own GPS receiver for the plane's "entertainment" system, that doesn't get the computed current position from the real navigation systems, then the map would presumably stop working or make up (e.g. interpolate) data from when it last had good position data.

But now that I think about it... I've only ever seen those maps draw the route as the great-circle path from the departure airport to the destination airport. So they're fictional in that regard -- whether they're interpolating the position on the great-circle path as a percentage of the actual track distance flown and remaining from the real navigation data, or doing something even more fictional, I don't know.
This. The regulations in this area are onerous (justifiably, probably).
I wonder what future generations will _despise_ us for. For which behaviors or beliefs will they take down our statues, remove our portraits from display, take our names off memorials, and revile us as evil?
Nothing because it doesn’t show a method about the distribution of prime numbers but it says that given the Riemann hypothesis is true then the leinhoff problem is true .
It's not a point that can be addressed honestly. Expect to be down voted massively...
Ketamine is one of the safest, cheapest drugs on the market. It is even used on babies because it doesn't suppress respiration.
> “Why is a typedef/typename better than using auto in this case? You can literally look up the actual type the auto keyword is deducing by looking at the function parameters two lines above.”

Because a typedef makes the syntax equally as short as auto in all practical senses, while keeping the item type explicit. Even when figuring out the item type only requires looking up a few lines, this limitation of auto is still worse while not providing any “terseness” advantage. And obviously ising auto as a kludge for a type of polynorphism where you switch around header files, etc., to arrange the upstream type to change and rely on other code’s use of auto to “just work” is a severe and critically flawed kind of anti-pattern.

In most cases it won’t be anywhere near this easy anyway, the the type of the function parameter should already have had an application-specific typedef to understand its meaning, so the extra use in places where auto is used would amortize it further.

And since you get much more benefit from the typedef way in more complex situations, it would be better style to just use it consistently by using it in simpler situationd too, especially since when the situation is simple, like this example, auto by definition doesn’t provide an advantage.

This is why I specifically used the word “strictly” like the mathematical sense of strictly increasing or a dominated function. The typedef approach for this is superior unilaterally.
Broken downloads, yes. Corrupted downloads, no. Given that files served from CDNs are still usually served without HTTPS, there aren't many checksums between the two ends of the pipe to protect it from on-the-wire corruption. Doesn't matter much for video streaming ala Netflix; matters a lot for a structured dataset.

BitTorrent and related protocols handle this automatically by breaking the file into large (megabyte-range) chunks, and then putting the cryptographic hashes of all the chunks in the manifest. As long as you've received the manifest, you can protect against both passive corruption and active MITMing in the same way you resume broken downloads: by just discarding chunks that failed to complete to a state of "has all the bytes and hashes correctly", and trying those chunks again.

(Sadly, HTTP doesn't support a digest response header that applies to each chunk of a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" response stream, or it could vaguely compete with this. The Content-MD5 header could have done this, but it was removed precisely because implementations were in conflict on whether it was for this, or for hashing the document as a whole.)
This is what Blue Apron recommends for "recycling" their freezer packs:

"We recommend cutting the ice pack open and disposing of the gel in the trash. You can then recycle on your own or send back to us!" [1]

Yes, you take the stuff out of the freezer pack bag and put it into a new bag, and recycle the old bag. Where does the new bag go? In the trash.

Don't forget though, T-Mobile was one of the first carriers to use zero rating as a marketing ploy (with Netflix IIRC) which is exactly the kind of shady practices that net neutrality was supposed to defend against. But everyone thought T-Mobile was great for being an "un-carrier". Really they are just as hostile to net neutrality as all the others
You're going to need a lot more than half a billion dollars and 5 years to create processors that can compete with the single thread cost/performance of Intel or AMD chips.
I don't believe that's what people who are getting into the RISC-V game are necessarily aiming for anyway.
Terra itself is static, yes. But, the idea is to use Lua to parse your own language then compose Terra on the fly to execute your language. So, it's a roll-your-own-language foundation rather than a language-specialized JIT.

Why not just RMA the motherboard to get the update?

That's what I did on a refurbsihed motherboard no less from ASUS.

the CPU was AMD Athlon 860, it came out just before Ryzen, and used the older FM2+ socket.

It was totally free, all I had to pay for was shipping.
I barely understand why you would have more than a few full stack engineers ever.

The guy talked about having beautiful SCSS. At some point, you are talking about design and less about engineering.

Full stack is a job to be taken on by a small team. Having a large team with lots of full stack makes 0 sense.
Maybe how we treat refugees, or watch Syrians being bombed on the news before carrying on with our day.
And Apple is not a "fast growing business"? Have you looked into their "Services" category? IG's REVENUE is claimed to be $10 billion. Apple's Services NET SALES was $9.19 billion. In the last QUARTER. So, yes, Apple is a "fast growing business", and is growing faster than Instagram. If Bloomberg was fair, Apple's services alone is a $400 billion company.

Taking a long-term view, IG's revenue comes from advertising i.e. it's a one-trick pony, just like Facebook. Apple is a diversified company; even though iPhone makes up >60% revenue, is anyone with an iota of financial sense going to complain that it's a bad thing?
You are are right with all you're saying here.

I was not suggesting that `docker build` executed at a given time point is less secure than `unattended-upgrades`. My point in referencing the vulnerabilities was to simply show that there is a constant stream of vulnerabilities that you need to keep patching, and that picking a new base image "every now and then" isn't enough. `unattended-upgrades` just makes it trivial to automate following this constant stream of updates, while with Docker you have to manage that yourself.

Yes, most CVEs don't affect your use case and operations, independent of via Docker or full OSs. But every now and then there is a severe CVE in that stream that affects you. You don't know when it's coming.

There are two ways to be safe: Automatic upgrades, or reading through / subscribing to the CVE stream and analysing everything that passes by (as you demonstrated here; that takes real effort and you need to be awake when it happens). Most people don't do the latter.

"But can you just change this?"
Ubuntu used to, and Apple's measures are wholly ineffective. They're token gestures.

But I don't trust any given computer os very much. They're all projects run by folks that have given me 0 reason to trust them.

One of the most insufferable parts of your post is the assumption I don't use Linux as a primary OS. I do. I hate it slightly less than OSX. But they're all awful in equal but unique measures.
I think the idea though is most companies that have such small development team usually don't have the need or expertise to take advantage of those features.
Makes sense regarding trying to focus on a niche and scale up. It's very hard solving the chicken and egg problem for marketplaces, I've been there before.

As for regulatory concern, I'm not familiar with the laws, but is it really your responsibility to prevent things like insider trading? It doesn't seem like it would be any different from someone just waiting outside of a company's office to approach its employees.
This really comes off as a rant by a front-end developer complaining about full-stack devs not being as good as them.
In the past, I've been a hiring manager receiving resumes treated this way by agencies.

They always, always screw them up. The resume is hard to read, formatted incorrectly or whatever. Most of the time, I simply went by the linkedin profile.
One-Shot Imitation from Watching Videos
The only assurance you have that Apple isn't producing a profile is their honest promise. Nothing stops them as it stands other than some hand waving.

And you cannot disable application telemetry in the App store which everyone has, including Apple's apps. Apple's approach doesn't stop anyone from turning their apps into a privacy disaster.

But sure. Windows telemetry is unique. Right.
What Living in Silicon Beach has taught me about innovation
If an API is undocumented, how can you know that it doesn't exist? It might very well exist for internal debugging purposes, just not at the URL you might expect. Or maybe it's at the expected URL but returns 404 to everyone whose access token isn't flagged as an employee in the appropriate department.

As someone who relies very heavily on logs to debug issues in immature and/or fast-moving products, I would be surprised if they didn't log everything. It's sysadmin 101.

Yes, I had not thought of it that way even though it has been obvious since school days. The pertinent quote is worth remembering because it covered all the bases and was so well explained:

"One of the best tools an activist can use is humor. If you can get folks laughing at your target’s expense, you diminish his power. I wanted the country to have a good laugh at Helms’ expense. I wanted his fellow senators to have a little chuckle behind his back. And I wanted Senator Helms to realize that his free ride was up - if he hit us again, we’d hit back."

The article was written after the event, I wonder how well thought out some of the nuances were before the event, e.g. the fellow senators having a chuckle behind his back or that power is diminished.
Nothing, because after a certain point, only artificial and semi-synthetic life will exist.

'Positioning Your Product to a Tiny Audience' (Article)
Of course, but more so means the probability is greater by the very least an O(1) factor.
> In that case, it sounds like very bad general software design that is not well-crafted to the problems you are solving.

That does not sound like bad software to me at all. It is quite a stretch to say that types changing during the course of software development implies the software is badly designed. This sound very backwards.

On the other hand, I believe a software that is malleable enough to handle changing types easily during the course of software development is good software.

In this case, the differentiator between my current option and the lower cost ones is the level of cell service living out in the sticks (aka 45 minutes out of the metro area). More would be nice, but rural life typically has fewer options.

That is really changing though, on all fronts, as technology does.
So basically you're a front-end guy who can do some basic back-end stuff. If that's full-stack then 80% of developers out there are full-stack.
The contract was drafted by a team of expensive lawyers over a period of weeks or months. You, a complete legal novice, are going to read it in five minutes. Who’s more likely to win?
LinkedIn is also problematic as they could potentially tap common connections in your network without your knowledge.
I've become a heavy user of attrs, a small library that makes it easy to replace named tuples with a class that automatically includes initialisation and string representation functions.

So I'm very glad to see data classes bringing this to the core language.
Simplest solution: Switch to a much cheaper prepaid plan. If everyone did it, industry-wide revenue would tank, the stocks would tank, and a cornucopia of slime bags would be fired.

If you are under contract, contact their legal department about the unexpected rate increase. When they reply, threaten small claims court / arbitration.

Simply paying a lawyer to call your bluff will mean they lose money on hiking your rates.
Throwing recyclable goods in to the landfill bag nets you a fine. That's the whole point - you sort correctly, or you pay up. If you are unable to sort your trash - you don't buy stuff. The landfill bags are for non-recyclable items.
I don't know if this is to protect so much as it's an undocumented and immature API so they never made it public and kept it for internal use only.

Of course, it's software. We can change anything!

Even better, I'm not busy trying to keep your current software working - so I can get right on it.
I once had a recruiter cold-call my employer's main line, ask for me by name and falsely claim to the receptionist that they had already been in contact with me about a position. The whole office heard about it within 30 minutes.

Not a good way to make friends.
As a life-long musician, I found that the tedium and aggravation of fighting the software and associated hardware to get it to do what I wanted - a wholly left-brain activity

- was taking up half my time.

And that was after the learning curve of trying to adapt to the melange of hardware, interface, and software options.

That time and energy was taken away from creativity and experimenting with music to improve its richness,interest, and originality.

Modulars can be more expressive in expert hands (seldom the case). But making good music requires a different kind of expertise. And I hear that difference - and the cost of all the lost creative energy - on the radio every day.
Could anyone ever honestly believe this data was not logged by Microsoft??

Except ICE doesn't abide by your rules. You have no rights when being questioned or investigated by them.

At least, that's the way they operate.

Now, if you take them to court, maybe you can get a reversal of their action against you. But you have to be a citizen or legal resident to do that, and you still have to suffer the consequences in the meanwhile.
My bet is on irresponsibility on dealing with global warming.
Ask HN: Web developers who didn't go to college, how did you get your first job?
I'm writing a book teaching developers how to take their skills to a professional level and learn the soft skills required to be a great developer (communication, personal branding, collaboration, etc.).

I'm trying to do a bit of research. I learned web development using online resources, built a few sample apps, and used that to get my first job as a developer. I'm just wondering what everyone else's path was here who didn't go to school for development or computer science.
I think it's because any information we gain about the Riemann Hypothesis (Lindelöf hypothesis is implied by RH) gives us information about the distribution of prime numbers. Any time you gain information about the distribution of prime numbers you immediately gain information that can be applied to any form of cryptography that makes use of prime numbers. You could use this information either to break existing forms of cryptography faster, or apply it to building newer and stronger cryptography.
Full stack engineer means knowing CS fundamentals. With that you can do most anything, except good UI/UX development. Leave that to the web developers.
I read the paper, they had 11 patients with known cancer and trained the NN to detect volatile organic compounds in the breath from raw GC-MS (gas chromatography mass spectrometry) data. From what I understand, the interesting and novel application is in the NN learning to parse the data for the detection of the aldehydes they were interested in. Nothing about this paper involves testing in patients where you aren't sure if they have cancer or not from what I read. Lots of false positives as well. Furthermore, whether or not this type of breath testing is useful in diagnosis is an open research question.

In my opinion, from a medicine standpoint this paper is pretty far from being applicable to patients, and may never be, although that is par for the course for a lot of medical research. I'm not smart enough to comment on the ML details.
You should talk to the last couple MBPs I’ve had. Sometimes they pretend like they’re going to sleep but they actually stay up late and when I pull them out of my bag the next day they have 30% of their battery left or less. Sometimes I’m lucky and the fans will be screaming so I realize before I put it into the bag that it didn’t actually sleep.

You could say it’s my (non-OS) software and you might be right, god only knows how much redundant shit security teams put on there to protect us (read: cover their asses) but why is any software allowed to prevent the laptop from sleeping when I close the lid? It should be assumed it’s going in a bag and should take protective action.

Also, you may want to talk to my laptops about kernel panics on docking or randomly losing window placement for no apparent reason.

I think it’s pretty neat that you’ve had such a bug-free experience but unless you work for Apple and are intimately aware of the frequency or infrequency of these types of issues it might be worth exploring a decrease in snarkiness.
Not if it’s an iPhone.
That depends on whether the Overton window continues to shift leftward, or if it is pushed in another direction. There were LGBT rights movements as early as the 1890's, but those didn't last.
If you read the article, this trend began before the recent "Facebook is the devil" trend in the news. Perhaps instead it's the other way around? Perhaps the news organizations are trying to hurt FB for a drop in their readership?

Either way, the news and social media spaces do not have a healthy relationship.
IIRC, I populated the thing with 10TB or thereabouts.

For small block sizes, I got hundreds of IOPS.

Latency was pretty terrible in almost all cases.

I wrote a great deal on this topic for internal consumption. Those benchmarks weren't really meant for the general public. My biggest conclusion is that EFS isn't useful for any workload where performance is a concern. Unfortunately, it's priced so high, that I'd never consider using it otherwise.
Basically, you can’t really use an additive method for that purpose.

Bluray has a watermarking technology[1] that works by modulating the existing sounds in the content. It transmits _very_ slowly, but the result is moderately imperceptible to the typical person. It’s also fairly durable against distorion.

Well in other places, the HSR just tunnels through the mountains. Rome to Bologna, which is a comparablyish distance to Harrisburg to Pittsburgh is a good example. Highish speed rail already exists between NYC and Harrisburg and Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Toledo-Chicago is comparably easy (especially if you can use the already-electrified SSL tracks to get in Chicago).

By my count, a NYC-EWR-PHL-HAR-PIT-CLE-TOL-SBN-CHI train would directly serve metros with ~50 million people (and indirectly serve much of the rest of the northeast and midwest).
PoC||GTFO-18 [pdf]
You can discourage the behaviors (or better, encourage safer ones), and this is a very good idea. However, per the article, Senator Helms was blaming and reviling the people involved (“There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy”) and actively discouraging any attempts to fund prevention measures which would reduce the spread of the disease.

This is precisely the opposite of your suggestion, but the way you have phrased your commment suggests that you are condoning his behaviour. I guess that this (and not the other commenter's claim that your point “[cannot] be addressed honestly”) is why you are being downvoted.
That was my first thought too. We'll be branded heretics, unfortunately.
Not a python coder, but from my understanding they are essentially auto-constructors?

This is a little bit outdated. Nowadays you pay with both your money and your data. For example, see Windows telemetry. It even collects the full command line for applications elevated through UAC.
I agree it’s hard to really stop being tracked but I’ve been trying to become less of an easy target lately. Stopped using gmail as my main email and made duckduckgo my default search engine. Plus the traditional browser extensions.
