IMHO things like WASM, web vr, and LLVM are all converging this year after years of cool demos, prototypes and gradual progress. Having Rust out there as a first class citizen is awesome. This year we should see the beginning of a minor revolution in front end development, where essentially anything targeting LLVM will be able to compile to WASM, be bundled as an NPM, and be usable in the context of web application for essentially anything done in javascript until now whether it is performance critical algorithms, manipulating the dom, writing to canvas, driving IO via web sockets, dealing with web gl and web vr, audio, etc.

Breaking the monopoly Javascript has had on this space for close to 25 years is a good thing. Perhaps people will continue to use it but it will have to be on merits rather than just merely being the only game in town. In any case looking forward to having more choice in this space.

IMHO, modern JS based frontend development is a combination of tedious, error prone, and backwards. If this honestly is the state of the art, then WTF. happened in the past 20 years.
You can also just write plain, vanilla javascript and make a working web app. I have one, no npm is involved! It is nice.
At the store just the other day - shopkeeper ringing up the guy in front of me asked "Do you want a bag for that?" It was a product, in a box, wrapped in plastic. And the guy had his own canvas bag out already.

If he'd accepted, he'd have had the product in a box in a bag in a bag. My god. When does it all end?

What was the product? Plastic bags.
I'll be checking out bitwarden for sure. It looks great. I'm ready to move away from Dashlane. While I haven't had any issues with it, I'd feel more comfortable having the data stored on my own servers. And the cost difference is pretty huge.
It's illegal to rent space to businesses you know to be conducting illegal activities. The mall operator can't rent space to a drug dealer or arms dealer, they can't rent a brothel, they can't rent space to human traffickers. Mall operators are not common carriers.
Gives buzz like alcohol does - for whatever reason you might enjoy, but does not contain alcohol.

Lots of people drink as a social lubricant. Some people just don't want to drink alcohol, like myself, but miss out on those aspects of life. It's interesting because there's movement in a direction that allows for more options?

It also looks like they are trying to make it not as intoxicating as most MJ products tend to be, which can be overstimulating and overwhelming, so yea, I mean, how is this different than the stages of craftsmanship that's gone into literal millenia of producing alcoholic products?
On the contrary. It's very useful for certain people and certain uses.
My 1password only autofills if I do ctrl+\, otherwise it does nothing.
Similar experience here. They really do try several tricks to get you to bite. The one trick that they tried was that once we were in the restaurant the lady claimed that it was a mistake and that we were not supposed to be there. The free meal was only for members but she would overlook it and continue with the presentation just for us. Pretty laughable.
There was a funny issue with that sort of thing in (IIRC, the American version of) several Fire Emblem games. In an attempt to make the RNG feel less random, they actually generated two 1-100 numbers for each roll and averaged them. This has the effect of making numbers close to 50 likelier than extreme values, which in turn makes extreme probabilities even more extreme: a 5% chance to miss becomes a .3% chance to miss after this averaging.

We can't restrict what they do with something once we sell it to them. Only Congress can. So, we can refuse to sell it to them or make it for them.
More than $10k in cash is considered "evidence of criminal activity" in many jurisdictions.

It's one thing to have a few bank envelopes with $10k in cash and a withdrawal receipt in a zip lock bag or something that's pretty obviously non-criminal. It's another thing to get pulled over in a $90/day rental with $15k hidden under a blanket in the trunk. The latter will almost always end up getting seized.
I went to an unknown state school and I got a damned fine education. Top schools don’t have a monopoly on good teachers or good students, not even remotely close.

Prosecutors' offices have other incentives. Keep in mind that the chief prosecutor in any given jurisdiction is likely often egotistical, ambitious individuals. Also, there are plenty of more serious and/or complicated crimes going on in any given jurisdiction.

Also keep in mind these scams tend to occur in well-populated areas.

There is not a single statement in that article that is not some type of fear implied concept that fails under observation. The "FR is biased towards people of color" issue was publicized a few years ago, and the industry adjusted - most are no longer biased, and that bias was a mathematical color space issue and nothing racial. It's an empty article cut and pasting fear statements from popular media, and simply Kiaros getting their name in the news.
We tried Traefik, but ultimately went with Fabio, which also integrates with Consul nicely; plus it does tcp based stuff for unencrypted gRPC services we shuffle around (which at the time, traefik didn't have.)
Hand gestures do not sound futuristic and really reliant. While brainwaves, well, is another talk... Especially in the world of disabled people.
Note, that's if you use autofill at all.

I use an installed 1Password app, and avoid browser autofill extensions like the plague. Browser extensions don't have a good track record I believe, regardless of company. I don't blame the companies, I blame browser extensions.

I see little benefit in autofill integration, I just click the button in my task bar, click copy, and paste. LastPass has been pretty sketchy in the past too, I don't trust them. I've been quite happy with 1Password, fwiw.

But the browser is part of the UI/UX.

When Firefox warns you that you're (possibly) pwned when you browse to a website or try to log in, then you can't get around combining step 2 and 3.

Or when Firefox compares your password database with HIBP, you can't get around combining step 2 and 3.

Imposing a ban on "public" and practically making sure that it is followed by the huge population of India is really difficult. We have seen such bans imposed on public before, and none of them were successful till the date.

On the other hand, keeping an eye on the handful of (big) companies to restrict them from supplying plastic to people is comparatively an easy task and requires less (man, money and infrastructure) power.

Besides, government(s) can also think of funding research program(s) to synthesize an eco-friendly material alternative to plastic which can be produced with same cost as of plastic; or funding program(s) to at least efficiently recycle plastic directly proportional to its growing usage.

Is this what people are doing in their free time? I might have no friends, but this is another level. Salute, sir.
My wife and I had a lot of trouble having children, and went to Mexico for IVF. Although we were staying in Cancun, we basically had no money. We had planned on just lounging on the beach for a week, but several different groups were offering free little day trips to different destinations if you set through a timeshare presentation.

We ended up doing that three times, and even knowing what I was getting into ahead of time I found their "hard sell" tactics both persuasive and exhausting. I didn't get roped into anything, but I can definitely see how it happens.

Whenever you're shown a new gosh-wow fusion design, ask "What is the power density of this design?"

The power density of a PWR fission reactor core is 100 MW/m^3.

The power density of ITER (gross fusion power/volume inside the cryostat) is maybe 0.05 MW/m^3.

There are fundamental engineering limits to fusion that guarantee the power density will suck compared to fission. So my default take on any fusion design is that it will never be competitive with fission, never mind the things that are cheaper than fission.
It's not a good thing SCOTUS is looking at a convicted drug dealer for a CAF case. If this gets upheld the bar to get another CAF case in front of the Court will be even higher, and police departments will continue stealing from citizens on the side of the highway with impunity.
I think they're confusing the 1Password browser extension.

1Password has a native app, which I use on both windows and osx, and I just don't install their browser extension for autofill features.

Though, given that I avoid autofill like the plague, I could easily be misunderstanding the issue too. I'm speaking of a subject I don't use, I don't think anyone should haha.
For a less casual RNG game without quick-save-and-reload, I heartily recommend FTL [1]. Without the in-game ability to start over after making a mistake, you're forced to deal with whatever the game throws at you. No excuses, no rationalizations.

It plays amazing, punishes you at every turn, and is tremendously popular.

FTL creators simply loved the problem they were trying to solve, "starship simulator", even more than the various solutions they eventually executed upon.
In my view, it is that focus on fun which separates the greats the from second-rates.

I'm not saying it's hard to work around but I maintain it's broken. You have a function that deals with C-string that in some conditions returns something that's not a C-string but can't be trivially distinguished from one and will trigger undefined behavior if used like one. It's terrible ergonomics and almost certainly not what you want to do in any situation.

You can argue that truncation is an error condition but then it ought to notify it somehow, for instance by returning NULL in such a case. And even then it's incoherent with snprintf which doesn't have the same behaviour and does always terminate with '\0' even in case of truncation (assuming non-0 buffer length, of course).

It's just an unnecessary footgun that serves no practical purpose. It would be like a date function that gives you the today's date except on the 4th of December where it replies that it's the 31st of February. Not hard to work around but still broken.
If they rented that space out to a brothel, would they be liable?
It's really complicated to explain where I'm from. My passport is British. I was born in Switzerland. My parents live in France. (My dad worked at CERN, if you've been to Geneva you'll understand).

I went to university in the UK, exchange programme in Santa Barbara. I did summer jobs in LA, Switzerland, Taipei, Vancouver, Auckland, Korea, China, and India. I decided I like NZ and Canada the most. I need 3 years prior continuous relevant work experience to get the visa. So I came back to Taiwan to do that. Now I have the academic and work qualifications needed.

I really want to stay and settle down. I don't have a "home" to go back to. If I live with my parents, I'm unable to marry or have kids. Those kids would be stateless because I'm a citizen by descent and can't pass on citizenship. NZ's Skilled Migrant Category can get me Permanent Resident status in 2 years (the fastest). That's my plan, but I need a job to help me do that.
now by no means am i in any way against weed, in fact im a regular recreational user but im not entirely sure i fully agree with this stuff considering the status, if im not wrong its legal for medical use not recreational, say i have a headache, can i pop to the chemist for a can of paracetemol infused iced tea? anti histamine ice cream? no, because medicine is supposed to be functional not fun. id pobably even be fine with it for places where it is fully legal for recreational purposes

or maybe im just bitter because itll never be legalized here
Casting epoxy is a thing that exists, but the chemicals involved should most definitely be kept away from the skin until after they have cured.
I think comparison with Manhattan project is appropriate. Manhattan project also had unsolved engineering problems, which they solved.
Indeed, lol. That feeling when you check all the spam about GDPR and understand that it is the last time you see such spam.
That's absurd. The legal test is whether a reasonable person could have known that they were an accomplice to a crime.

The article makes it clear that this man knew he was building these for cartels, and tried to weasel his way out by claiming he'd never seen drugs with his own eyes, but had seen almost a million in cash from some very shady guys.

This would be like running a "Taxi service" that catered to Balaclava wearing gentleman exiting a bank, claiming that you had no idea you were helping with a robbery. Perhaps they're just really ugly businessmen in a hurry? Would that mean nobody could drive a Taxi anymore? Of course not.
So you read the last sentence of what I wrote, after the comma? Like I said; I like the options, I just find calling a non alcohol beverage ‘hangover-proof’ a bit weird advertisement. Besides that i’m all for it.
I appreciate that there is a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with doing something 'from scratch' but why wouldn't you use https://phaser.io/ or any of the other libraries/frameworks for HTML5 development? It's built for almost exactly this type of game.
Does anyone know if there is a framework for turn based strategy for HTML5? Phaser seems to have more of a real time and physics focus.

> Shit salaries, overpriced housing, and everything is expensive

You're not kidding. A decade ago I looked at buying Autodesk Maya. It was $US3999 if I were in the US, so how much was it from the local reseller in NZ? $NZ13,000, just because it could be. At the time, that was enough to make a deposit on a house. A group of us started calling it "the New Zealand tax," because we noticed that almost every price for an imported good was 2.5x what it would cost to purchase, ship from another country, and pay tax - often more. HDMI cables were $40, and my friend from Dick Smith (roughly equivalent to Fry's) told me they bought them for $5.

Yes, average human hair is somewhere around 80 microns, based on ethnicity/nationality. See figure 5 here: http://www.jle.com/fr/revues/ejd/e-docs/diversity_in_human_h...

When I saw this phenomena in person, it was apparent that there was no way that the diameter of the spider silk is close to the diameter of human hair.
> the particular universe we observe around us appears to be staggeringly improbable

Says who? Anybody who knows what he really talks about will tell you that there aren’t any real physical data to claim any “probability” at all to the physical constants we observe. Let me repeat: you can’t use “probability” for that in mathematical or physical sense. That’s all.

Also please quote who actually says that doing experiments to learn more should not be done. If somebody just says that some philosophers talk about something they don’t undestand, and that there isn’t enough data from the experiments we’ve already done to say more, that’s what I can imagine.

I dunno. We already had the Orwellian scare when security cameras started getting ubiquitous. We keep kicking that fear can down the road, but we don't have to. We've already seen what security cameras are really good for, watching the watchers.

It doesn't make sense to surveil regular people, but it makes a heck of a lot of sense to surveil public officials while they're doing their jobs. We went from "the police are going to sit back and watch cameras of everybody and show up at our doors to arrest us!" to "Damn cop department won't release his body cam footage because they claim it was out of battery power!"

I think facial recognition is going to follow that same sort of acceptance arc. Nobody except China is going to have the stones to build a bureaucracy around deploying it and we're going to want it to solve a way more pernicious problem once we find a killer app.

If you're really worried about government malfeasance, all you have to do is to actually read some of the Wikileaks dumps and go looking for smoking guns. Everybody else already did that and other than the NSA programs, nobody's found anything really interesting.

“We chose software because there is something wrong with us.” - Crockford
Some of these promotion companies pay a lot of money just to have their cars as part of promotions (and the sweepstakes companies can get into big trouble if their systems are not setup to give away x cars. Most of them are time seeded so someone is guaranteed to win one a week).

If your already investing that much money, can't the company also cover the taxes, or do most states have laws forbidding that? It seems like bad publicity if your "winners" have to pay several thousand in sales tax to get their "prize car."
I thought a debit card was just for withdrawing cash? We have bank cards (Bankomat Karte) for withdrawing cash - in fact, when you pay and want to use the card, many people just say "karte" (literally: card) to mean a bank (debit?) card and not a credit card.

Our Visa cards can also withdraw using a pin, but I don't know anyone who does (anecdotally speaking - but I do pay attention to shoppers ahead of me in line, seems like a rare occurrence). I personally use it to (very rarely) purchase products for which I don't have enough cash on hand, and because banks generally set the withdraw limit to 400€/day. On top of that, most places (IMO) still don't accept credit cards or will charge 3-5% fee (such as the official Apple dealer McShark). Visa transactions are also hindered in comparison, there tends to be less information available about the purchase and seller names are truncated to ~20 characters. Also the booking is often delayed (online) until the statement is sent per e/mail, unlike bank transactions which appear online within 24 hours.
seems to me like a combination of that original reason, being persisted by bureaucratic momentum and lobbying from police retirement funds and for-profit prisons.
Summary: "I can't tell the difference between discriminatory hiring [rejecting based on identity] and targeted hiring [seeking people out based on identity]."

Author even acknowledges the previous policy (which does sound discriminatory based on their framing) is no longer in place at LLVM, which is the focus of the article.

This is not really about "open source." It's about LLVM, and springs off randomly at "open source" using poor-quality non-citations, weasel words (of the species "some people say"), and other hallmarks of bad, ideologically-tilted writing.

I often think about what would have happened if the Lib Dems didn't commit political suicide by going back on their single biggest campaign promise (by tripling tuition fees)

The mathematical bias was the fact that dark skin has less illumination range, therefore less information to separate dark skinned faces. The bias was not such that a darker skinned person would be confused with a different toned person, it would have issues telling the difference between people with the same darker skin tone and similar facial shapes.
Huh. I never realized that's what those were for.
