I was making a point about language culture and decision making.

Conformance is a property of the code, the programmer's decision process is the really interesting thing here to me and I was arguing that such a solution is not unusual for C, but it would be for C++ , where a programmer would avoid it not because it's not conformant, but because it looks odd. pjmpl further clarified that it depends on the type of C++ programmer - I agree.

I admire his attitude toward pain and wish I could have that same attitude as well. Like the author, I have a herniated disc (more specifically a disc protrusion) caused by a sudden weight lifting injury 4 years ago when I was 23 that damaged L5-S1. There's not really any hope of it healing on its own, and surgery is far too risky. It's just constant pain pretty much all day every day. Some days aren't too bad—other days are really bad. But the pain is always there, and I think that just knowing it's going to be there tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day after that for the next 50-60 years of my life is really the worst part of the injury.

I closely follow the latest studies on disc regeneration, but unfortunately medical research is still in the dark ages in that field, and no significant breakthrough is likely to make it past clinical trials anytime in the next decade.

So... sorry for the rant, but if there's some deep wisdom to be gained from suffering, I still haven't figured out what it is.

I'm not sure using the lack of socialised health care as an excuse for not managing your finances is sensible. It's only a minority that need expensive health care before 65 but it seems it's the majority who aren't managing to live within their means.
Check and Match are so well written. JSON schema/ajv also. Validation shouldn’t rely on a module/codebase to work and should be able to be built dynamically or stored in a database without needing eval/hacks. Runtime validation is important, not just dev experience/typescript.

Sure, results need to be published. The problem is that the cart is put before the horse: we decide to publish the results, and where to publish, before we have an inkling of what the results will be.

Hmm, I don’t think 48 MP is very suitable for smartphones. That sounds very large and unwieldy with the often limited space (not only on phones but even more so cloud backups). Who is asking for larger photos these days anyway?

The inproved DR is interesting though! Smartphones are currently very behind APS-C and full frame sensors there since it’s traditionally been more or less tied to sensor size.

When I read an article like this I'm reminded that Pamela Jones (PJ) [1] of Groklaw [2] -specifically, her last Groklaw article [3]- might be one of them.

Quoting from the last article:

"The owner of Lavabit tells us that he's stopped using email and if we knew what he knew, we'd stop too.

[...]

Oddly, if everyone did that, leap off the Internet, the world's economy would collapse, I suppose. I can't really hope for that. But for me, the Internet is over.

[...]"

My point isn't that a significant percentage of the 11% consciously don't use the Internet for similar reasons. I don't know how significant such as percentage would be. My point is that there are people around who consciously do not use the Internet (at all) for privacy/security reasons. The Internet isn't a panacea.

> Don’t worry about girlfriends/boyfriends, focus on yourself

I am 23 and I have been focusing on coding/studying over the last 3 years since I broke up with my now ex-gf. Now I believe I will have a promising developer career but I feel disconnected to people as I'm not used to hang out anymore (except w/ my friends) and enjoy small talks..

I have recently discovered personal development and I'm getting over that step by step but it was a harsh time.

Is it just pedantry? Even in the strongliest of practical strongly typed languages, two functions with the same signatures might fail to return on some inputs in the new version that it didn't in the old.

That's a practical distinction I care about that can't be computed.
I have the opinion that is the job of functional tests anyway.

Unit tests should only exercise public interfaces, with internals and private parts being tested as side effect of calling them.
>It is improving very slowly, actually, by any standard of improvement. I have an almost 6-years midrange MFT camera, which I wanted to replace with the latest and greatest MFT, but things haven't changed in a significant way.

Yeah, just 4K at 200mbps (GH5 and co) and 10bit color, 6MP snapshots from video, 5 axis image stabilisation that's rock solid, sensor-shift 40+ MP images, much better low light, and so on.

>While there was difference, it wasn't as large as one would expect from a ~5 years timeframe.

Analog cameras image quality didn't have ANY difference in a 5 or even 20 years timeframe, so there's that...

>Nowadays the best sensors are in the top-of-line camers, which are very expensive (on par with APS-C), and it seems they're not permeating down to the midrange segment, as they used to do.

Err, Panasonic for one has several cheap models with essentially the same sensor as GH5.

>I don't imply that using MFT doesn't make sense (it's my favourite format), however, it's nowadays far from being revolutionary.

MFT does not exhaust mirroless (which is what the parent spoke about).
It's worth noting that HTTP->HTTPS redirect is, in some sense, game-over already. A malicious actor upstream can mitm by blocking the redirect and providing an HTTP version to the client while communicating HTTPS to the server. sslstrip is one implementation.

2. The economic limit to growth for developed countries is that you can't just force ideas out of people's heads. Automation/robotics improve things, but the productivity difference when averaged over a whole country is still not 10% per year, between developed countries. Keep in mind a growth rate of 7% means a doubling of an economy every 10 years. It's not reasonable to expect a doubling of economies every 10 years for developed countries, history has shown this repeatedly.

3. I'm an optimist, I don't see any signs of the foundation falling. The counterargument is that the fall is rarely seen ahead of time. Still, I think we can just file this as a difference in perspective and call it a day :)

4. Georgia, the state, I assume? Assuming it's the state, ok. But how come the vast majority of high-flyers still don't move to these states? How come those "oppressive" taxation regimes keep producing heavy hitters? Same thing is happening in Europe. Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, the UK, etc. have high productivity and high taxation. You'd expect everything to leak over to the low taxation countries. Yet these countries to lose a percentage of the high productivity members but come up with new ones. There must be something at work here (such as high taxation, coupled with half-decent administration, creating a good overall environment for productivity).

A phishing attack can often involve local compromise, making the user install malware etc. In that case, it's a simple attack variant to spoof the USB communication and get valid credentials whenever the user uses the key.
I probably didn't do a good job of explaining it, but fixing the schedule was part of the suggestion. So for your example, rush hour timing would allow ~50 minutes between your stops, then after that only 20 minutes.

Perhaps if you have the 'same' image shot with different cameras side by side you could point out some minor differences. Sure. But if I showed you (or anyone) a shot with no context and background information you wouldn't have a clue. And that's a good thing. Equipment shouldn't matter, and now the playing field is more level than ever.

Very small for what? You can print 6MP in A3 size, and nobody would even notice...
They built tests that explicitly assumed that the library's interface wasn't going to change:

>When we upgraded, all our tests passed (because our test fixtures emulated the old behavior)

Doing that, upgrading your dependencies and expecting everything to work just because those tests passed? That's naivete.

If they'd built decent integration tests that used the actual library (instead of "assume nothing changes" fixtures) and made more of an effort to simulate realistic scenarios then their tests probably would have flagged up most of the issues they had.

Alas, this seems to be one of the side effects of following the "test pyramid" "best practice".

Well, maybe I'm over-reaching, but I think that most banking "security" sucks.

Last month I tried to make an e-banking account in South Europe. In 2018.

- They required "6-12 characters as a password, and no special characters". You can't hash special chars?

- Apparently it's okay, because "2FA". Which is a "changeable via a call" 4-digit-code, which the bank employee knows "only" two digits.

I'd be far more inclined to trust Twitter or GitHub than my bank with my data.

Out of and interest in both computer protocols and medicine, I'm curious to know if you have any specific examples of those concepts you mention.
We get bombarded with the term at nearly every turn. We see it in movies, television, and video games. So for the part what researches expect AI to become is not what the public thinks AI is. Marketing has a way of taking something that sounds cool, is just too complex to fully understand, but not so complex that they cannot convince you that you need it, and from there the terminology gets corrupted.

Sure most people dismiss most over the top depictions in tv, movies, and games, but it is surprising how many out there still believe governments and the mega rich have something "close".
I use a cheap shared web host. My current and previous host both have LetsEncrypt implementations that take a couple of clicks. The former one was just default cpanel I think.

It is difficult if you want to understand the process, though no more so than, say, using Git IMO.

Most BBC sites in the UK have already been switched over the past few months. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news was finished about a month ago.

We redirect to http in the meantime to not have both being indexed.

Triggers for me are poor/insufficient sleep, stress, and large upwards or downwards changes in my caffeine intake.

Regular exercise seems to have dramatically reduced the severity of my migraines. Frequency seems to be decreasing too, as I am getting better at controlling my triggers.

I don't like taking triptans, they seem to give me a nasty hangover that almost as bad as just waiting the the migraine out, but it's hard to disentangle the migraine and drug after-effects.

Mostly, I follow my doctors advice and take the maximum safe dose of Ibuprofen as early as possible when I notice onset symptoms. Sometimes I use diclofenac instead. Check with a pharmacist, but if you can safely take paracetamol, you can combine paracetamol with ibuprofen or diclofenac.

I don't bother with over-the-counter medications that include some codeine - the codeine is not sufficient to do anything useful, and the dosage of whatever they are mixed with is often weird.
I don't know what triggers my monthly migraine but I have found that Citrulline malate (an extract of watermelon) a vascular dilator prevents it for me 100%. Originally I had started taking it for sport reasons but subsequently found it fixes the migraine! Must be that my migraine is due to vascular constriction.
I don’t see this often in SF (at least on the E-W routes). Lots of factors though: overcapacity, mass-transit friendly population, express buses, sparse car traffic, linear routes, etc.
Quattro is unfortunately no longer "true Foveon", as they do something akin to 4:1:1 downsampling, making it more Bayer-like, IMO obliterating the main advantage so apparent on Merrill sensors - when I take a picture of a model face on a top-end Nikon, I can see "mushy" areas on the skin all the time when zoomed it, moire on clothes, whereas with Merrill I get unbelievable sharpness (like individual hair); I can't go back to Bayer as it can't be unseen and working with Bayer-like cameras just leaves a deep sense of artistic dissatisfaction. Also, when shooting clouds on Merrill, the dynamic range is way better than any camera I've seen; some call it "cloud camera" for this reason.
opting-out is not OK via the GDPR. Only Opt-In is allowed or at least that's my reading

GDRP section 32

Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her, such as by a written statement, including by electronic means, or an oral statement. This could include ticking a box when visiting an internet website, choosing technical settings for information society services or another statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject's acceptance of the proposed processing of his or her personal data. Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent. Consent should cover all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes. When the processing has multiple purposes, consent should be given for all of them. If the data subject's consent is to be given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.

They could be relying on the "public interest" part of their TOS, in which case they'd possibly argue that this processing was necessary as part of the provision of service, and therefore wouldn't require any further consent from the user.

For the record: I'm not suggesting that what they did was ok, just trying to think about it from a GDPR perspective. Anonymising account information is great and all, but how can you be sure you've obfuscated all PII from information saved to file storage, unless you audit all that information - which in and of itself seems ropey from a data protection point of view.

The best way I have found to write stable code is to capture all exceptions with sentry and just fix them.
But traditional operating systems still assume RAM contents is volatile (because currently it is), most filesystems assume disks are glacially slow etc.

A traditional spinning rust HDD has an effective latency of ~10 ms. The NVME version of the 3DXP has an effective latency of ~50 us, or two orders of magnitude better. Not sure how low the DIMM version will go, but maybe another order of magnitude?

If so, we're talking three orders of magnitude difference. That would radically affect the assumptions going into storage algorithms. Suddenly you can no longer spend millions of instructions trying to avoid I/O. Batching of I/O is also not needed to the same degree. Complex syncing of memory and disk is not needed. Etc etc.
I used to think making it more automatic was a clearly good idea _until_ I listened to that episode and was introduced to the counter-argument that people should well know what taxes they pay, to make it harder to sneak things in there or make the existing things swell without scrutiny.

The answer is quite simple: They're bad drivers.
When I'm on free airport wifi they'll often limit the session to half an hour and then start MITMing your traffic to try to bounce you back out to the sign-in page to agree to the terms and conditions again. When that happens, the redirect won't work if you're trying to browse to an HTTPS URL. Worse, for many sites you can't tell your browser to "just go along with the MITM" because of HSTS.

So in airports I rack my brain for a website that might serve content over HTTP, not HTTPS. Alas, they're getting harder to find, and it's getting harder to keep those airport wifi sessions going. I half considered registering "alwaysinsecure.com" or "alwayshttp.com" so I could reliably find one... Now I'll probably just use qq.com, it's short and easy to remember.

EDIT: Thanks all :-)

That's where you're talking about sensitivity-related quality - noise, colour rendition, dynamic range.

There's other quality issues in an image though, edge definition and depth of field for example. All things being equal a larger sensor with equivalent glass will always provide better edge definition, and having both 35mm and m43 chip bodies I would say the difference is noticeable. And for depth of field it depends what you want. I can isolate a subject much better with a large chip camera, but that's no use for a macro image where the small chip camera is better.
