During a flood I once saw a HV line that was occasionally dipping into the river. It would float down for a little bit, build up some tension, then shoot into the air creating a ~4-5 foot blue arc as the line shorted into the river before landing back in the water and producing a huge thumping sound.

That completely changed my perspective on all those quite lines dancing in the wind.
Can’t not mention acko.net ; maybe not a typical ‘portfolio’ but more or less fits the bill too
Actually they don't. I use Linux Mint Cinnamon for 5 years and find it a very convenient operating system, better than Windows (at least 7 — I hear nothing good about Win7 except its Linux support) and OSX (at least Snow Leopard) in almost every respect, except commercial app support. I very reluctantly reboot into Windows for things like Office, Lightroom and CorelDraw. Maybe Visual Studio.

edit: btw, I agree with you on the "attitude" thing. There should be more commercial options on Linux desktop.
Of all the sources on the Internet, why did you have to use the neo-nazi platform Breitbart when there are dozens of other legitimate news sites and opinion platforms available? :/

The question of Breitbart aside, tariffs actually do have economic reasons and back in 2007 it may have made sense to introduce them. The problem arises only when tariffs (and, generally, other laws) are not reviewed for applicability after a certain time.
> I'm American and I find most American ice cream too sweet. I much prefer Italian-style ice cream (gelato) and custards for this reason.

That's odd, considering Gelato tends to have less fat and more sugar than American ice cream. [1]

I prefer Gelato, but it's obviously denser and more sugar-heavy than the equivalent scoop of plain ice cream.

I didn't see it that way. The article argues for a very clear and curated Backlog of tasks. If engineers can't define tasks well and PM lacks understanding to structure backlog well then no amount of Engineering Olympians will help.
I'm not the one claiming that Autopilot is able to make a cross-country trip but delaying the test because it would be "too easy" to prove anything. If it were actually that easy, Tesla would have done it, because Musk has never passed up the chance for that sort of publicity.

Ergo, logically, if Tesla has not performed such a test, it is strong evidence that Autopilot is not currently capable of passing it.
I guess the conclusion might be: Unimaginative people are bad at predicting the future.
Is there any benefit to having Python implemented in Go, or is it just for curiousity?
I've been working in offices a few blocks away from "The East Cut" and I never heard of it. Google's SF office is actually in the East Cut. I wonder how many Google employees there actually heard of it.

Also the area is mostly office buildings. The few residential buildings are mostly high end luxury apartments. I doubt most residents are even aware of the neighborhood nonprofit organization.
Neither of the two main people that you talked to on that talk page were, or are, Wikipedia administrators. If you cannot get that part of the story straight, people are naturally going to ask what else you aren't recounting accurately.
>College education and healthcare /should/ be free for all in this country(USA). They are fundamental to the social mobility and freedom that our founding principles were created for.

We had this. It was called high school. But then standards were lowered so it was no longer a good filter for intelligence and conscientiousness. Standards were lowered to increase "social mobility." This did not work. Now college performs the same function. But the average IQ of college graduates will continue to decline as the percent of the population that graduates approaches 100, and so masters degrees are becoming increasingly common.

Will this, too, increase social mobility?

Social mobility in a meritocratic society is hard given the heritability of valuable mental traits. If we keep sacrificing our schools on the alter of social mobility, we will end up burning the first 30 years of or lives getting Phds in mopping floors.
DDG claims to have multiple searches, like local or specialized search engines, but if Bing shuts down they would probably be in trouble.

That said it’s irrelevant. Microsoft is happy to keep the competition alive for Google and I bet they are winning some revenue from their DDG deal, so it’s a win win.

And if DDG gets big enough, and it probably is already, they can develop their own web crawler - because in case you don’t know, it’s the crawling part that’s really expensive.

Duo's "Duo Push" push based second factor says it "can protect against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks" but I don't see how this type of push system can do that.

Quite a funny hybrid indeed: if I pay you to take my money, and you pay me to take your money, somehow GDP would have increased.

It's a measure of economic activity (of which our little give-and-take game would be an example) and it is meaningful under the assumption that all that activity happens for more rational reasons than just trolling economists. Note that our little give-and-take game would be a very expensive example of such trolling, if somehow the tax-man got involved.
FOSSCAD use to be called DEFCAD but they changed their name to let defcad.com become a for profit website. FOSSCAD has been releasing the Megapack for years. This is not a Defense Distributed repository.
I think there's an important distinction between searching for a "nickname" and showing lines on the map.
You have to wonder if this has anything to do with their Neighborly app. Maps are how we collectively tell our stories and controlling the language used in those stories affects the outcome.

Well in 2001 you had 1+ Ghz CPUs at the high end being pretty popular with 1600x1200 resolution. If you were using a 300 MHz PII I'm guessing you had a 800x600 monitor attached to it as well (if that). Today, monitors that are ~1900x1200 are common (if not more - 4k & multi-monitor is also really popular). So for one you're looking at ~5x more memory required for graphical assets. Probably closer to 6x-9x since 16-bit displays were more common for the machines your talking about.

The web back then was also a wasteland of bad graphics & terrible UX (things aren't universally better but they are vastly better). Those all take advantage of the more compute/memory available today.

Finally, the features available on the web today weren't possible for the web in 2001. E-commerce is now a given rather than an obscure thing geeks do. Interactive media/video, video chat, etc are all things that are possible.

Additionally, security has costs. The OS you were running on your 300 MHz PII was faster because it wasn't properly isolating processes from each other.

You can complain all you want of course but the complaints are pretty "why can't things stay the way they were" rather than a recognition that advancement has tradeoffs (e.g. cars are more polluting than horses but it's revolutionized & democratized travel & made it orders of magnitude more efficient in a way not possible before).

an article that I read about this claimed that turned off phones were allowed... It is still a step in the right direction though...
#1, so you agree that it is undervalued?

#2, Samsung's business is diversified, not vulnerable. During the DRAM glut years ago, the mobile division's higher profit helped cushion their chip division's lower profit. Now, it's the other way around. Also, unlike Apple's reliance on a single product line, their mobile sales come from many different models, greater than the sales of Apple's in aggregate, but, as individual models, lower than that of Apple iPhone. CNN's comparison likewise is nonsensical.

Apple accounts for about ~3 or 4% of Samsung's overall sales last I checked. Apple has significantly cut their reliance on Samsung, especially after the legal battle started in early 2012's, and stopped using Samsung's parts before -- for instance, the earlier iPhone Ax chips were designed and manufactured by Samsung in Texas, USA, but now Apple designs them in-house (after PA-semi and Intrinsity acquisition in 2008 and 2010) and outsources manufacturing to Taiwan/China. That was about 6 years ago and Samsung is still laughing their way to the bank with about $50B in profit last year.

#3, I've too noticed that a lot of Apple fanbois are out of touch with the reality at times (is that what you call reality distortion field?). Congrat Apple for achieving such huge milestone and I love my MBP which is 6 years old and still going strong, but surely, no sane mind would believe that Samsung would be out of business (or vulnerable) without Apple.
Everything looks good here. The biased Wikipedia editor can no longer edit pages on post-1978 British politics. The whistleblower can no longer speculate on any editor's off-wiki behaviour.

Well done Wikipedia.
#1 is a good point. Samsung's cash pile is $40 billion, decent but quite a bit smaller. Apple should be worth more than Samsung, just the size of the difference seems a bit out of step.

About this moat. A fab is not exactly a shoe, it's not something that anyone can just do. The idea that Apple would make their own memory is out there. Apple still uses TSMC or Samsung to make their SoCs, and will have to keep paying those companies for that. Designing the chips is relatively low cost in comparison. Apple cannot easily just make their own. I mean this stuff is advanced technology, it's at least harder than switching from iPhone to Android. People talk a lot about the wall garden and how that prevents switching but this moat is theoretical, it's never been tested. Apple has been good about keeping pace or in front of the competition hardware wise. For a company making good products it deserves the profits, but if it falls behind I don't expect the "moat" to save it. Majority of apps people use are free and are cross-platform. There are only a handful of relevant apps like iMessage or Sketch that are truly apple exclusive. Mac sales have been declining recently and I personally use 5 platforms, linux, mac, windows, ios, android and have no major problems.

#3 :)
Exactly.

Avoidance of repercussions for people in positions of authority because of tenure is a steep slippery slope to hell.
Google puts far too much stock into the "accuracy" of its Maps data.

Here's my fun story: in order to verify my dad's website with Google's 'My Business' service (now a defunct product?), they had to mail a physical postcard with PIN code to ensure the address was legitimate. Picking the mailing address was hooked into Maps/ Maps data; a "real" address had to be among their existing database of addresses.

Well, my dad lives in a somewhat-rural area outside St. Louis. His street is "Alt Road" -- named after the Alt family, German immigrants who started a large farm in the area 150+ years ago.

Yet Google Maps had the street listed as "Alternate Road". Clearly some data entry person presumed it must be an abbreviation and took liberty to 'correct' the apparent mistake.

So it was literally impossible to have a postcard mailed to his address on Alt Road. I had to have it sent to Alternate Road instead. I recognize, of course, the verification steps taken thereafter will have permanently corroborated what was bad data in first place. Now I'm part of the problem.

I'm guessing Maps will now forever have renamed the street. Should I alert the county to Dad's 'new' mailing address?
Yes, and look at how well all that fragmentation works.

We're clearly of very different opinions about what personal computing is all about.
Yeah, if you had just hit the jackpot on a $100 slot machine, you would get a way bigger ROI than investing $100 in APPL at any point in its history.

> Why anyone would spend more than $200 on a phone unless there is a business requirement (ie, it makes you money) is beyond me.

Are you also surprised that people spend over 50000€/$ on a car? The answer is simple: because it turns out that having nice things is nice.
The WinRT environment enforces non-blocking async.

Any operation in the library that can take time is async. Async is everywhere.

I've always worked on embedded UIs where we had a physical watchdog timer (an independent chip power cycles your main device if a keep alive function isn't called periodically) that was set to ~30ms.

In test, anything running longer than 30ms had to be broken up.

The entire system was written in C and C++.

The lesson is you can write responsive apps in any language, but the entire underlying stack needs to cooperate. IIRC WinRT's requirement for "async" is operations that take more than 1 second. I disagree with that, I'd set the limit at 100ms, but I guess that'd annoy programmers even more. :)
Has Tesla demonstrated any progress whatsoever since that 3 minute demo video they posted over a year and a half ago? If they were really making amazing progress they would have shown it off. Tesla LOVES showing off their tech when it's actually working, and it is often very impressive.

Waymo has been operating a real actual passenger service for over a year now. They drive tens of thousands of miles a day. They're "not out in the market yet" only in the sense that they're not charging money for it yet, which they seem to plan on doing soon.

Or implementing limits to it so that we get mostly the good of it.
Yep, and when they work on hot lines, they treat them as such, using the protective gear you mentioned.

I cannot think of a time that I saw a lineman working on a power line that was not shorted, without protective gear.

Working on a hot wire is a whole different story because every thing around you becomes a hazard.

I do work on towers, sometimes in hot-RF environments (TV and radio antennas transmit with up to ~100,000 watts). The antennas will literally cook(like a microwave oven does) you if you get too close while they are live. For lower power situations, you can even hold your hand near the antenna -- it feels like a heat-lamp. Even at reduced levels, it can be harmful to areas of your body with poor circulation and cooling(such as your eyes), often causing damage before you're even aware of it. We wear an RF monitor when in those situations that alerts us if the RF field becomes stronger than is safe. I wonder if linemen wear a similar device that can alert them if an EM field becomes stronger than expected?
Yes, I understand, but I'm not sure how you address that without changing literally every existing plug and outlet in the USA.
The wording is a bit confusing, but I believe they are saying that it would take that long to catch up to Buffett's current wealth. If you assume his assets continue to grow at the same pace as yours, you will never catch up.
Something tells me that less than 1 percent use the phone like that. Most of them would text, watching various social media crap with nothing related to the class. To use them effectively the teacher should be able to put all the phones in a "class" mode with restricted apps and content.
Speaking as someone who has spent decades mastering a hobby craft (playing guitar)... first, if someone is involved in a hobby consistently at all, then the label applies. Terrible guitarists are as much guitarists as geniuses are. This is not to equate the players - only to equate the labels. You need something more precise to distinguish. My son is a hardcore gamer. My spouse is a gamer, but not a hardcore gamer. When more committed gamers say "That's not a real gamer", it's about exclusion and snobbery, not a real measure of anything else, including talent and skill (fwiw, my spouse would probably trounce you at her games). So be very careful when taking this position that you're being distinctive rather than judgmental.

Another thing I've observed is that people who have committed their 10,000 hours and become really, really good are often in doubt about their own abilities. That's because they notice things that less experienced people do not. After 35 years of playing guitar, I feel I know less about it now than I did when I'd been playing for two years. The sense of scope of what I don't know is overwhelming sometimes.
"TR" plugs are another "innovation" that someone got a patent on and then lobbied to get into the NEC. In my experience, their only functionality is to bend up the prongs on plugs when the plastic bits choose to not get out of the way.

Why should everybody have to pay a continuing overhead simply so people with small children don't have to install outlet covers?

If you're actually concerned with electrical safety, you're much better off installing solid "commercial-grade" receptacles than pretending that garbage-grade ("residential") has been rendered safe by being more difficult to use.
Nice that the C++ SDK is C++11, but they could have it at least C++14.

Or good old XMLTerm http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/06/07/xmlterm/
No, not really. But I understand that I, for the most part, have to participate in a system that I believe is fundamentally broken.

There's almost nothing I learned during my 4 year college education that prepared me for any of my (tech) jobs post-graduation. And, due to poor decisions that I made, essentially as a child, I dropped out of high school when I was 16. So, a GED and a college education seemed like the only way out of the hole I dug myself at the time.

I guess now that I am 30 and know myself a lot better, what I do regret is not being more creative. I probably could've figured out a way into a job similar to the one I have now if I had been more creative and avoided getting a 4 year degree.
It’s because most people get insurance through their employer so the costs are less visible up and down the line.
Those make sense... except the hanging stuff on walls is a stretch. You'd have to use a 6" nail to manage to hit a wire or pipe behind the wall. Most likely, they just don't want lots of little holes in the walls.

Faust is a library that you can import into your Python program, and all it requires is Kafka. Most other stream processing systems require additional infrastructure. Kafka Streams has similar goals, but Faust additionally enables you to use Python libraries and perform async I/O operations while processing the stream.
