It is fascinating the interplay between the Chrome team, and WHATWG on SMIL. It's one of those W3C standards from the W3C's "XML all the things" years that you can tell browser teams aren't entirely thrilled with. Quick searches seem to indicate that WHATWG's overall take seems to be that all SVG animation support would be better in CSS Animation and that they'd also prefer to punt SMIL.

> It's also a bit circular to "prioritize based on how common the standards are found used in the wild" when they're single-handedly responsible for preventing developers from using SVG animations "in the wild" in the first place.

It certainly is a chicken-and-egg bootstrapping problem. Though the increasing prevalence of "Works Best in Chrome"/"Works Only in Chrome" dominance may suggest that Edge is still in a position to follow the trends than attempt to lead them on ancient W3C standards like SMIL.
Not to make light of railyard hazards, but:

> the union had more than 30 railroad employees take photos of their workplace in an effort to demonstrate the hazards firemen could help navigate around.

suggests that the presumably union workers may have tended to
choose to take photos of the more (or most) dangerous locations.

'Not healthy' and 'cause immediate death' are vastly different.
The title of this article seems to imply that face painting was intentionally used among Juggalos to deter computerized facial recognition - of course we know that's not the case. Though to be fair, somewhere in the history of the practice, it may be argued that it was to throw off human face-recognition.

I don't know that. It is not enough to compare raw numbers, since the cost of living is so different. Healthcare is a famous example. But even leaving that aside, wages and standard of living differ already significant within Europe and I assume the same goes for the United States.

My colleagues and I live a comfortable life with a pay well above average in my country (The Netherlands) and while no country is perfect, I don't think I'd move away from family and friends even if I was payed double overseas.
Your response reflects some misunderstandings about patent law. It's true that the law is complicated and there is a lot of misinformation out there. And, unfortunately the EFF doesn't help that situation when it misconstrues the law and gets people all riled up. I'll address a couple of your points:

Regarding your 3D printer example, there will always be ways to "invent around" to accomplish the same result. For example, if the patent claims a 3D printer with a conveyer belt, that would not prevent someone from building a 3D printer with a turntable to accomplish the same goal. (There is a caveat here if a turntable is considered an equivalent to a conveyor belt.)

Historically, there has been an experimental use defense for those seeking to improve upon a patented invention. Theoretically it still exists, but it wouldn't apply in a commercial context, which would include a hobbyist distributing small numbers of infringing devices. This exception should be more clearly defined, but that probably won't happen because patentees don't bring frivolous lawsuits against non-commercial experimenters. Again, patent law is all about business interests.

Another way to avoid infringement is to make either (1) a component which has substantial non-infringing uses, such that it does not fall under 35 USC 271(c), or (2) an a improved replacement component for the patented device. Using your 3D printer example, a generic conveyor belt might be a staple article with substantial non-infringing uses. You would be able to make and sell those without infringing on the Makerbot patent. You could also sell a replacement component that only works with the Makerbot printer, because that would fall under the Patent Exhaustion Doctrine, which says that once a patented device is sold, the buyer can replace worn-out parts without infringing.

Patent law does not prevent anyone from sharing information about the invention or about improvements to it. A problem only arises when people cross the line to actively inducing the infringement of others, knowing of the patent and knowing that their actions will induce others to infringe.

Again, these issues are primarily about business interests and competition, not civil rights. Unfortunately, the EFF does a lot of misconstruing the facts to get people agitated, and very little to actually educate the community. Communities of hobbyists who fear lawsuits would be better served by an organization that taught them how to accomplish their goals without getting sued, rather than one which just wants to agitate to overthrow the entire patent system.

If those lists are anywhere on your hot path benchmarking with a deque build from two vectors, or a circular buffer as you suggested, would be worthwhile imho. The constants in linked lists are such that the O(1) operations are often slower than the O(n) operations in vectors, at least for lists that fit in cache, and depending on your allocator etc. Chasing pointers to more or less random memory locations is pretty much the worst case workload for a modern CPU.
The short answer is I don’t know, but if I read your question correctly I suspect the answer is “not much impact, if any.” Cell transmission towers would be dangerous at close range, but cell phones themselves would be like flashlights as you say, but not bright ones, and probably not noticeable at all, except at very close range. They’re not listening to these frequencies.

I would think it perhaps analogous to ultrasound. Our electronics are giving off all sorts of ultrasonic noise that we can’t hear (but sometimes annoy dogs and millennials). We have ears capable of hearing, but not at those frequencies. But you could nevertheless expect hearing loss if you put a 1kW ultrasonic beacon right next to your ear.
The junior to senior ordering makes so much sense. I didn't realize it until now how affective it is, and how I try to always encourage that in my teams.

How do you handle situations when you see a need for this but don't want to step on the toes of others? From my experience, some people react poorly to hearing that type of feedback or approach, and while I try my best to avoid those working environments it does happen from time to time. In those situations, I try to encourage, inspire, and explain why it's important.

Let's not act like the voters don't want this stuff, people were clamoring for Amazon to make their city its HQ. Not just politicians, the constituents. I think it's funny people think this is all because corporations buy politicians, but that's such a simplification of the issue. Sports franchises, landing factory jobs, etc are big "wins" for politicians because it makes people vote for them. People want to spend -other- people's money on things that benefit them or their community, even if it's short sighted. People want things now. Long term investments don't show gains for years, and as Keynes famously said, in the long run we're all dead.

But how do you read "How To Read a Book" by Mortimer Adler?
For some odd reason, a lot of mechanical engineering and machining in the US is still done in inches and feet, though I think most of it is related to the defense sector. If you get into the automotive sector, for instance, you won't see that any more; they finally went all-metric in the 90s or so. Anything where the product is going to be sold internationally is probably metric.

In other engineering disciplines (except maybe civil), it's all metric. You won't hear EEs talking about semiconductor feature sizes in fractions of an inch.

Physics is still a problem there as well. 1 THz = 10^12 Hz. The speed of light is ~3E10 m/s so at 1 THz light can only move ~0.0003 m/cyc = 300 um/cyc. Electric current moves slightly slower than the speed of light through copper and silicon but its close enough to approximate here. That means in a CPU running at 1 THz it would take multiple clock cycles for a signal to move from one side of the CPU to the other. You also have to take into account the switching speed of transistors and the distance from the CPU to memory. All together, you would just end up wasting a lot of clock cycles achieving nothing and driving the current required to run a CPU at those speeds would generate a lot of heat.
I have this same problem as well. I don't know if the world is getting noisier or I'm getting more sensitive. Probably the latter. My neighbor to one side has two vehicles with massive car stereos that he enjoys just letting run most of the day on some days. He's told me to pound sand when I ask him to turn it down. My neighbor to the other side has a straight pipe Harley that he warms up at 7:30 on the morning. He's told me that loud pipes save lives when I ask him to not do it so much. My neighbor on the other side of the duplex has a stoop that faces my window and enjoys holding mobile phone conversations in the outdoors where it's nice and breezy. That's roughly the same effect as people gabbing in the open space.

I tried renting one of those small offices in a quiet neighborhood. Nope, they're apparently built with tissue paper so when the tattoo parlor moved in across the hall and started dropping the beat, there went all semblance of calm. Same for the small business just to the other side where they have loud stand-ups (with applause) and lots of sales calls.

So, yep, I know the old saying of "if everybody else is the asshole it's you who's the asshole." I still can't shake the feeling that I have nowhere to escape. Work is people loud, home is people loud, away is people loud, even the bus to and from work is getting people loud, the plane ride to vacation is people loud. Maybe I just need to hermit.

Yeah, I think it's more likely to work like there's some psuedo-integration and more standard data-sharing between Uber/Lyft and transport hub owners. An added check-box to schedule an Uber or Lyft when you're purchasing your train/plane ticket, with U/L paying a percentage of each ride to the rail company/airport. That also allows U/L to better predict how many vehicles they would need to have on standby for arriving passengers, even being able to update on the fly as they receive info on delays and routing changes. I doubt they're at all interested in owning a airline.
Keep in mind that this is showing the "reported" hours, which can be misleading.
For example it shows that people in US works more than Japan but I know for a fact that people in Japan works A LOT more. However, since it is a cultural thing and they expect you to work long hours, no one reports overtime. I even heard that you can get fired if you report it.

> I think the relationship between streamers and their audience is a more extreme form of the relationship between celebrities and their fans

I totally agree. One of the things the Internet has dramatically increased are asymmetric relationships between people. Some amount of asymmetry has always been part of life — the peasants know who the king is but the king doesn't know the peasants.

But now that anyone can broadcast to millions, it's easier to have a one-sided relationship that a peer-based one. I believe that's profoundly unhealthy, and a problem society is going to have to confront and learn how to deal with.

> But I'm not sure, and in any event leaking loop vars was fixed at some point. (Good. It was useful but bug-prone. Just like this PEP!)

So, basically, they have a proposal for an expression that explicitly says "I want to leak this variable into the enclosing scope" and it is less useful than the implicit old way?

Python's variable scoping rules are a mess anyway -- some are function level, some are block level and I usually can't tell which is which until the compiler complains...
What the article largely discusses seems to be a problem with the metrics one chooses as a proxy.

Let's say you're actually trying to optimize total transaction value on the site or total number of transactions or something like the overall fraction of users with at least one transaction within a certain window of time. Then - as the article rightly observes - getting users not to bounce on a particular page is a TERRIBLE proxy to what you're optimizing for. If that's not clear to you, you have no business running A/B tests without supervision.

>>> used among Juggalos to deter computerized facial recognition - of course we know that's not the case.

Yes and no. Such levels of makeup are meant to be a mask. They are meant to at least partially obscure a person's true features or emotions. Facial recognition is having a very difficult time with women's faces under heavy makeup. Styles with strait lines or geometric shapes (right angles) really throws them off. I'd expect that no facial recognition system could yet survive comicon.
Uhhhh, juggalos paint their face and it JUST SO HAPPENS that it beats face recognition sometimes.

I assure you there was little to no intellectual effort on their part towards that end.

Fucking magic. All in the motherfucking air.

This is a good question and I used to have this opinion. Then I noticed how I didn’t really like video games that much and that they largely all had microtransactions.

Sure there are a few, but creatives are limited and if the are making a game, they choose between designing for $50 for a complete experience or for $13/month for the rest of your life. These affect gameplay drastically.

So people liking microtransactions mean these games make more money, so they are made, so stories are worse, so my game play is affected.

I loved Mass Effect 1. The mind set of “why would I care if multiplayer charges for stuff?” led to the franchise sucking. And while there are other games to play, none as good as Mass Effect exist.
"Even white-noise apps make me feel like I'm getting barraged with sound. I want "library quiet.""

The middle ground I have is noise-cancelling headphones (bose qc20) with white noise app playing a low volume mix of grey noise and... maybe brown. The grey gives a low feeling, and helps mask out some frequencies that the noise cancelling headphones miss. It's not perfect, and it's not "library quiet", but I've found the combination is relatively calming most of the time.
> In many ways Trump's aggressive trade practices may be the only answer to this if Trump focused on China.

That's circular, US "aggressive trade practices" (which means unilateral tarrifs, let's not spin, please) came first, so making them "the only answer" is sort of self-fulfilling.

Frankly it's much more likely that Chinese trade shenanigans like this are the result of the escalating trade war. The volatile climate makes "big steps" like enjoining a whole foreign company more attractive as the relative threat of retaliation is less. If you think your opponent is going to pull the trigger, you shoot first.

Now we just have to wait for more, ahem, "aggressive trade practices" to be announced by the White House, and we'll escalate further.

This is what a trade war looks like, folks.
