How well does this handle dynamic constructs? Eg if I rename a method and elsewhere have

if hasattr(obj, ‘foo’):

does that get caught or not?
In jazz the aesthetic emphasis is on the empty space in between the notes. In the 30s you had a bunch of folks mixing weed with heroin in a way that seemingly unlocked the ability to create art out of these interstitial moments.

As a social term cool just means the same thing, referring to things whose positive qualities come from what they lack.
the irony that a product which top feature is literally "Does not run Google Android" serves their javascript from google cdn :)

...also the fact that they have boot up sound means that they are not focusing on user experience and needs, but on copying any and all features from the current phones :(

In SoCal we have teachers starting out with salaries in the 60k range. Not too bad, but they do have to have 6 years of schooling for most high school teachers.
The most bullshit thing I've experienced in my engineering career so far was making "business cases".

I was to make a business case for getting me a decent PC that would allow me to perform simulations that would allow me to test some concepts without risking damage to hardware.

Another business case I had to make was when I proposed we give give out one unit of our product (valued at 400-1000 eur) for Google Summer of Code developer working on a library that we supported and it easily generated around half of the product sales.

In the same company I had to get out of my way to make them buy heaters in winter and fans in the summer because the building was a badly insulated warehouse made of metal.

This experience made me highly allergic to bullshit rules and being cheap. My philosophy now is that is you can't afford a reasonable working conditions and hardware then I can't afford working for you.

> What a misleading, fake title.

The title is accurate. The Google account linked to says just as much.

> The post quite literally says it's an experiment, accidentally enabled. A bug.

And this can be accurate too, without being in conflict with any claim in the title.

> Literally an A/B test, which they do all the time.

On accounts enrolled into beta programs. Not on regular accounts. This one happened to phones with only regular accounts.

> The title makes it sound like they hacked in your phone.

The title makes it sound — at best — as if it was unexpected. Which it was. The title does not make it sound like they "hacked in your phone". Perhaps you're reading some outrage in the title that isn't there.
Hahaha! Gold. Thanks, you made my day. Sorry you lost mana for it, I'd +100 if I could. Well, I was reading about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayre%27s_law on here recently.

Inside the fantastical world of live-action role playing
I made this comment earlier but to me the most logical explanation to the Fermi paradox is the vast amount of time between existence of any 2 civilizations. While many could in theory exist in the same Galaxy, the cosmic scale makes it unlikely that any two will ever share the same time scale, thus making any possibility of contact unlikely.

Waiting is inconvenient to buyers and to explain it away, Xiaomi provide some silly reasons such as saying they are trying to thwart sideloading of apps and custom ROMs by resellers, that does nefarious things like steal data... it's a silly excuse, and the wait time inconveniences buyers who want to unlock and install custom ROMs.

Edit: I suspect Xiaomi do this to keep you using MIUI as long as possible because they make money from showing ads in various parts of the system, and also sync your data back to their cloud which probably is resold in some derived form to advertisers. In my opinion, MIUI sucks. MIUI vs. LineageOS proved it is the phone OS (software) which influences how much a person likes a phone, rather than the hardware.

They've recently increased the wait time from 2 weeks to 2 months which had buyers complaining loudly on forums. So for their newest device (the Pocophone) they reduced the wait time to about 3 days. But I think the long wait times still exist for other phone models.

The wait time depends on Xiaomi's mood-of-the-day. They keep fluctuating it.
I agree with your praise of EM. But hypothetical aliens might want to explore some trade-offs. The game we are playing is to find some advantage in the known physics of a medium even if we know of no practical way to create and detect those signals.

Neutrinos spring to mind: we can't work with them because they don't interact with matter. But if you had some technology that could interact with them, you would have the advantage that nothing in the natural world screens them much.

Even if that technology was much more cumbersome than radio, aliens might have special cases uses for it (e.g. for signalling to and from their secret base at the centre of the Earth).
Special relativity says it's not possible.

General relativity says that maybe you can get something equivalent by taking non-linear paths through space-time but those sorts of things require very radical types of matter to avoid collapsing into a black hole. And realistically, it's IMO very unlikely that these sorts of things would remain in a more complete (e.g. quantum) theory of gravity.
Oddly I turned on battery saving a few days ago and missed this.

As much as I like my Pixel, simpler times of loading apps onto a Palm trek with a wire like syncing music onto an iPod comes to mind.

> I think that Docker is a great time saver for those who want just to play with a new piece of software, and don't have the time to learn all the details of some arcane install procedure.

That's true, but if you do that in production you're running untrusted code that could do pretty much anything.

If you don't have your own Docker registry full of containers you either made yourself or have audited yourself, you might as well let anyone in the world run their code on your servers.

And if you do have your own registry, it's a lot of work and it involves chasing down libraries and working with arcane install procedures. You can't really trust the public base images unless you fork them and audit them yourself, or just create your own.

At some point you need to take responsibility for your own stack. Docker fine for messing around on your laptop but the real work starts when you need to get past that.

"PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story"
by Dr. Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin

The Phenethylamine Bible. As a kid I was fascinated by Shulgin and his work advancing science for all of these genuinely good and positive reasons. I watched politicians with no understanding of science use hype to outlaw all of Shulgin's fascinating chemicals against the recommendations of experts in their relevant fields. Shulgin's work is open source and the 2nd half of PiHKAL was my first exposure to open source code.

Translation: You all get in here, collectively spend billions of dollars of your investor's money developing commodity chips that run this middle-ware project we control, then compete on price for a chance to get subsistence level gross margins on your silicon instead of writing it all off. Or maybe we'll just use all of you to get better pricing from another vendor entirely, like we did with all these ARM server CPU wannabes. And they'll get plenty of suckers big and small. Looks like Qualcomm and Marvell(Cavium) are signing up again. Cadence is the smart one here, because it will sell EDA tools to all of them, so at least it will make some money.
Why reading 100 books a year won’t make you successful
Respect???? Hah
It should be noted, though, that from physics perspective it makes sense to cram as much as computing power (although in case of MF, which unlike supercomputers do relatively simple calculations on high volumes of data, it rather means I/O throughput) into as small space as possible.

So having interconnected commodity servers will always be marginally more expensive to run than mainframe boxes of the size of fridge, which have dedicated hardware for interconnect of internal components (for example on-book CPU caches and shared RAM).
Can you provide a reference for the fact there were were armed terrorists? I just did a web search on this and found that there were investigations about the live firing by the Israeli military (https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-first-idf-opens-criminal-pr...) and that some of those protesting and injured or killed were in fact terrorists but they were just marching with the crowd and weren't armed (https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-says-5-members-among-16-...). I mean it could be that it was a massive terrorist tricky attack, but all evidence that I see is that it was not terrorists who were approaching the border.

Any you are very wrong that "I do not in anyway believe that Jews have a right to life". I do think they have a right to a safe life and protection, just like I want for Palestinians. But I don't think anyone's right to protection extends to indiscriminate killings just because they feel a little bit threatened; of course this applies to my own country too, the us.
"For users who opt in, Brave can deliver better quality ads, without the risk of personal data leakage. We do this by using local machine-learning to understand the user better, and making local decisions as to which ads should or should not be shown, and when (the user controls all of this). Furthermore, the user gets 70% of the ad revenue for browser-private ads."

Sorry. This is just wrong. You don't nor never will have the volume of data that the major ad platforms have collected for 15+ years. You don't have the pure analytical power of these companies in compute capacity. You will not serve better ads by disabling third party retargeting platforms.

There are many positive ways to spin an obvious blockchain-craze inspired endeavor, and I applaud the Brave team for blazing a trail, but you are calling out all the wrong value propositions.

Fraud is not as big of a deal as you state it is. It is not a problem for the primary ad networks to which the lions share of the ad revenues goes to in the first place. Companies like WhiteOps and Moat already do a great job of fraud detection when an advertiser is not buying from one of the popular and safer exchanges.

I applaud your conviction, but the problem with advertising is not solved by attempting to de-throne Google and Facebook.

It turns out to be very difficult to sue a municipality. They need to be on the hook for a lot more than towing fees to make it cost effective.
Staying grounded in current physics is not a good idea. Humans are primitive and other civilizations capable of traveling the solar system is not.

Its like if you would ask a human 500 years ago how he think aliens would travel. He would say something likely in that age according to his understanding. We are exactly the same.
Don't short if can't afford to. Remember shorting has unlimited risk. What you should do is buy a put option, if possible.

Of course - the whole point of talking about zoning in LA is that many people believe you're getting an unfair advantage over people who have to rent because you have the money to afford a house. Most people do not.

It's a crap double standard that people fall over themselves to explain how CEOs deserve to get paid 1000x their employees because of how deeply and personally accountable they are for the success and behavior of their companies—yet shrug when they clearly eschew this role under a bit of pressure.

If you get paid the big bucks, you'd better be ready to face the music.
I had my car stolen in San Francisco and had to pay to get it out. The city contracts out towing services and the contract doesn't say they can't charge for stolen cars, so...

The city made an effort to change this a few years back but stopped when they realized that they would have to pay the towing company a bunch of money from loss of revenue with the modified contract.

Speculation over fate of missing Dutchman linked to WikiLeaks
I'm not arguing against any of that, including your statement that the GDPR might be the last drop to destroy a compliant-in-spirit company which has been surviving just so. I'm merely questioning the scale of the problem (based on my own experience implementing the GDPR in a low operating margin context) and their right to exist to begin with (based on my personal view on the sad necessity of data privacy regulation).
Well there's the argument that it educates the citizenry and thus strengthens our democracy.
I have absolutely no idea why your comment is being downvoted, I guess people incorrectly read your comment that any kind of self-described child service (or caretaker) is necessarily abusive. The problem is when people blindly assume good faith without any provable and verifiable system to ensure this is so.

Or perhaps they think you hold this opinion because they blindly suspect you don't think kids (or peoole in general) in trouble deserve care.

Under such criticism, how is it possible to demand publically verifiable care, if the moment one demands it you are branded as cheaping out on poor souls???

Tesla Autopilot Not Working After Latest Over-The-Air Update, Owners Say
The CPUs in the zSeries mainframe actually support 3 floating point formats (in fact there is like 10 of them if you count all the sizes):

- IBM legacy hexadecimal floating point you mentioned

- IEEE 754 binary floating point

- IEEE 754 decimal floating point (they were a first implementation of it)

So perhaps you were downvoted because on the mainframe, you don't have to use the legacy format at all.
Well, the company might do something negligent and damage the employees stuff. Then the company might incur some liability.

Or potentially someone could get injured through corporate negligence (eg, if there is a fire and the software engineer sleeping under the desk gets burned; power goes out for 12 hours and someone with a fridge gets food poisoning).

Focusing on GP's comment specifically, if the government (local or higher) discovers that a premise is being used for habitation I imagine there are a whole bunch of rules that kick in that the company does not want to be involved with.

It is much cheaper, easier and more internally consistent to mandate that all employees have a standardised work space. Then not only do you cut your risk profile, you also might find opportunities for efficiencies elsewhere.

Compare personal risk profiles to a company. If I am a bit risk-prone maybe I tolerate a lifestyle where there is a 1 in 200 chance of a near-fatal accident each year each year (so I'm expecting to make it to old age with a near misses or two in life - I've met people who I judge to live to this level of risk). If you try that sort of approach with a company of 150 employees, in a given year you now expect:

1) More likely than not to have a near fatal accident in the workspace

2) To be imprisoned or have your business ended by the government for being a menace to your employees

Corporations can't tolerate risk at anywhere near the level individuals do; because they have to scale everything up to their entire workforce.
anecdotal story with absolutely zero proof

If you lack real control over your device, "absolutely zero proof" is the new normal, and everything that gets zeroed out of RAM is rendered anecdotal thusly.
I've been running LineageOS (on Nexus 5X, then Galaxy S7, now Nexus 5X again) since it was Cyanogenmod. It pains me to say it but it seems to be getting steadily worse. The first install after the Cyanogenmod fork was perfect for two years until I broke the phone. I then got a Galaxy S7 and it was fine initially but an update introduced a bug which made it drop calls randomly. It took a couple of months of updates not helping before I wiped it and went back to the first ROM which worked perfectly. Now I'm back on a Nexus 5X again and there's an intermittent problem with voice calls where the sound goes quiet/muddy, and just in the past couple of weeks they broke Bluetooth music streaming (the music app crashes and needs to be manually restarted - which is great when you've hopped in the car and started driving!)

When I have time I'm going right back to 14.1 in the hope that that fixes it.
Yeah I needed more RAM to load humongous log files and filter them. Submit the business case - avoid 20 minute waits to do a search, save hours each day and finish the project faster.

So, of course the RAM showed up 2 weeks after the project was over.

This is how it goes.

Remember when Microsoft started to move faster then specs with IE? At first, all office applications required IE to work and nobody cared. Then games. Then it was a mess and netscape died. Then it got better again.

Now we have chrome, with google moving faster then the specs. I can't even join a hangouts in my office because google didn't bother to update the plugins (after they forced their own plugin into obsolesce by pushing the chrome extension format as a standard and lobbying firefox to adopt it). Now games. Wonder how long firefox will last this time.
