Sure. Powered flight went from "not invented yet" to "fastest and safest way to travel" in less than 100 years. Nuclear power has had a couple significant disasters but is otherwise mature. Antibiotics. Rockets and satellites (like GPS). Filmmaking.

For the most part, I think major new inventions of the 20th century have taken much less than 100 years to mature. We have science and engineering now, so being able to apply them to new fields is generally feasible.

I'd flip it around: what fields still have not matured yet? In what fields, since the dawn of science and modern engineering, is the median project still a failure? I'm hard pressed to think of any outside of software.

If you write 100 ~50 line "trivial functions" you've now written 5000 lines of code that doesn't actually solve your underlying problem, it just makes it slightly easier.

And you can't write this particular utility function in 5 minutes and support all the uses-cases, particularly if you are going to write a bunch of unit tests.

The reason to depend on someone else's code in trivial use-cases is entirely because they are trivial. There's nothing you're doing aside from wasting time by writing it. lodash is literally a massive library of mostly "trival" functions that no one is every going to write themselves because WHY waste the time?

The only cardinal sin at play here is thinking that wasting your time reinventing the wheel is time well spent. This approach is what I'd expect from either a very young developer or a very self-centered one.
> "The car will almost never be on the left side of the road, and the cameras will never flip angles, so training on flipped data forces the network to overgeneralize to situations it will never see." What could possibly go wrong?

That quote jumped off the page for me as well. This sounds like the start of a
new blog post: Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Driving

You can throw a few more in there.

- "Pedestrians will use crosswalks"
- "Pedestrians will be walking"
- "Traffic signals will always illuminate one of the three lamps"
- "Traffic signals have three lamps"
- "Lane markings are either white or yellow"
- "Lane markings exist"
- "There are lanes"

Your other comment is right on I think. Relying on DNNs to get near-100%
coverage on possible scenarios is a fool's errand. There's a very long tail of
possible circumstances on the road that no amount of training data is going to
cover. When you're trying to classify your photo library, this is okay. When
making real-time decisions on live input, it's not going to be okay. A more
structured and scrutible system is needed.

Until there's a breakthrough in our ability to understand what a NN "thinks", I
don't think we should place too much trust in them.

Or, I guess, we can wait and see if the imperfect NNs are doing better than
humans in the long run. From what I read, that may be true today only in ideal
circumstances (sunny, dry, maintained roads, etc.)
TNCs creating congestion makes sense to me for the same reason, so many of my trips simply wouldn’t happen if I had to take public transport.

How to Build the Organisation of Tomorrow?
From a 5 min glance, this framework looks really inaccessible. Most outlines ("focus rings") are removed and it's really hard to navigate the components with a keyboard, even as a sighted person. The focus indicator for buttons is just another shade, which is not sufficient. I was not able to set a value in the "Rating" component using my keyboard.

All those things can be fixed, but I would rather go with a library with accessibility in mind.
Prime Video has it with English subtitles: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071PF4WCM

My youngest son has been watching ChuChu TV, and a year ago he could count to 10 in English, and knew the name of every color in English as well.

Most 2 year olds can do that, but not in a foreign language, so for us it has been educational.
Yeah, no shit. I own a bike and hardly ride it because if I ride on the sidewalk I’m screamed at for endangering pedestrians; if I ride in the street lane I’m screamed at and cut off by drivers for going too slow; if I ride in the handful of bike lanes I’m at extreme risk for being cut off by an Uber taxi, Lyft taxi, delivery vehicle, or some random person in a car and they always say “I’ll just be a second you can go around me!!” but if I do then I’m in one of the other two areas and here comes the screaming and the maybe dying.

So if I can’t get there by walking, busing, train, or biking in wide open spaces, I’m just not going because damn, people in cars sure do act entitled to the spaces where I’m supposed to be and think nothing of swinging that two ton block of deadly metal around in ways that may smear their paint but could injure or kill me with little effort.
> This ist just an example for why one would favor well-tested utilities over re-inventing the wheel

No, it really isn't. The library does not dictate how things should be done, that's the fantastic thing about using your own utilities. In my implementation, we return the value itself if it's falsy. In yours, we return an empty array. Again, trivial "fix" (not that there's anything to "fix", it's a matter of convention, not correctness).

Cryptocurrency Codex Review
Does it? I remember as a smart ass kid setting up fake meetings with people in various chat rooms on AOL. My friends and I were doing it thinking we were trolling other young kids who just wanted to meet up but, as an adult, I wonder how many of those other 'kids' so anxious to get into private chat and set up meetings were even kids at all. Also we were too dumb to think about things like indicators of what we'd be wearing/etc (to know how to identify us) were almost invariably unidirectional. Where did A/S/L? even come from?

4chan has turned more into a whipping boy for any sort of inconvenient issue, which is certainly not to say they aren't indeed heavy into trolling and other stuff - but they're also not this hive from which all issues originate from.

People seem to forget that things like worldwide organized pedophilia networks, and worse, exist. And the internet provides an excellent venue for these people to organize and try to further their ends. Many of the 'elsa style' videos extensively feature sexual and sadistic content alongside drugs and alcohol. And then you get into the bizarre messages in the comments for each video. Those videos have been watched for billions of hours by children, on loop.
I think I already responded to you elsewhere, but in case I'm incorrect: No it is not worth it. You are re-inventing the wheel so you can pat yourself on the back. Nobody hires a software engineer to write leftpad. Rolling your own diffing algorithm is exactly what actual engineering entails.

A lot of the DVD collections of Sesame Street now has warnings that they're for adults due to content that they consider dated and not suitable for small children any more... I don't know how much I agree with that, but a lot of content that seems 'timeless' to people who grew up with it will seem wildly out of place to younger people.
I believe many of us will say that such a law should also be passed in our own countries. It's just sad how the school system destroys great works, just by virtue of making them assigned reading.
I've used it as a very simple equation solver in a pinch. Yes, it's a very naive approach for most equations, but getting started solving it satisfactory with a solution given is very welcome.
I also recommend at least the "Conclusion" section of this document, selected as an example, not as the one definite document: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3611719/ It is a good read overall too. You make it sound as if it does not matter. Apparently that is not the general medical opinion.

I also don't see what the problem with the selection of people is supposed to be. Those selected are more likely to not be able to repair DNA damage? I think this particular selection makes no difference for the purpose.

Overall, OP said "there is no evidence" and it seems that yes, there is. What you think of that evidence is not the question, OP had said there isn't any. When I look at the actual recommendations it seems that most medical people don't think so, after all, the recommendation still is to limit the radiation exposure, not just for the frequently exposed (radiation workers) but also for those one-time patients.

Even on a per-event basis reducing the amounts of radiation was and is a major design goal for the devices. Does not look like those who are involved in all of this think there is no problem.
There's nothing actionable, except for longer term investments like where to live and how to plan your spending vs saving. Brexit is horribly fascinating in this respect, as the outcome controls whether I'll need do leave.

As I discovered watching our kids go through school, if you had cable and the "in backpack", kids at school would almost certainly have found something else to dig at.

Those that react get picked on. If they can't single out lack of clothes, or knowing current music, they dig at too fat, too thin, wears glasses, wrong hair colour, wrong accent, you name it. In short if you react you lose.

I don't know that I made any extrodinary claims.

You did ask me if I audited things before and I answered honestly. I frequently report vulnerabilities in a range of open and closed systems and read a lot about those others find. I also don't consider myself an expert and generally distrust people that claim they are in this space because it is, as you say, really hard.

I initially started a spreadsheet to document the very high level objective traits of messengers I find useful and others found it interesting/useful and helped extend it.

It is far too much cognitive overhead to do deep dive evaluation of 75+ messengers, but what this list allows one to do is quickly eliminate services from consideration that lack features vital to address their use cases, platform targets, or threat profile: for instance the ability to self host, or end to end encryption.

From there once you have your short list, you can then make more effective use of time reading code, doing audits, reviewing audits of others.

If a list like this simply makes someone aware of new up and coming projects in the space, or old ones that have been quietly evolving in capability... then I feel justified in having shared it instead of having kept it as a private document of my personal notes.

I for one learned about a number of new projects when putting this sheet together, and interesting new approaches on solving these problems.

The thing that is pretty subjective about the list is how I sorted items based on my own research and threat profile.

I won't sit here and say Matrix or briar or any other items near the top are perfect, or lacks any security flaws. I personally place my bets on Matrix at this point based on my deep dive evaluation of it and similarly featured alternatives, but that is subject to change! Others are free to share your view that a well funded but closed source messenger like whatsapp is the general best bet.

To sober up on this topic a bit: Matrix has had glaring security flaws in the past, but also so have the options you personally recommend like Signal and Whatsapp.

At the end of the day all one can do is collect data, look over all the options, deep dive into the relative merits and claims of each to the extent one can, look at the research provided by others, and make a judgement call.

This list should be considered a starting point for research and a way to discover lesser known projects as it was for me.

It should -not- be seen as an end all "use this it is most secure" recommendation by any means. Anyone that looks at any one high level list of binary data points and makes an exclusive choice on that alone is doomed to shoot themselves in the foot with or without my help.

Hopefully that addresses your concerns about my intent here.
Key Tips to Improve Customer Experience Tactics
I think there's a risk that Facebook won't be replaced, because may early adopters won't sign up for any new social network. Both Facebook and Google have severely hurt the trust of many, to the point where they will be reluctant to sign up for any new alternatives in the fear that they will eventually be equally "evil".
Maybe the author doesn't have the power to do said updates :). Does a low flexibility index indicate that companies should not be opened in France, or even considered? Your point is totally valid, however I don't see how it invalidates what OP worked on

Eh, it depends on how you look at it. If you are comparing Lyft/Uber to public transit, yeah they lose out by a lot, but I don't think a lot of people are doing that. I think a lot of people are comparing Lyft/Uber against the cost of owning a semi-new car in a major city and that's much more comparable.

Here's a super ball park monthly cost breakdown:

- Car payment: $250

- Parking: $200

- Insurance: $85 (~$500 every 6 months)

- Gas: $50

- Registration: $40 (~$500+ a year)

- Saving for maintenance: $50 (assuming $600 a year, which is probably low)

That's super super napkin math, but that's almost $700 a month for a car, which is basically the same as $30 each work day for a month. On top of that, you don't have to deal with the hassle of parking in a city, which has to be worth something.
Where can I see one page with all the components?
> The "Social security" pays around of 10% of most usual costs, the mutual fund pays the rest...

What? The basic insurance scheme pays at least 60% of a set of reasonable, negotiated fees and the "mutuelle" covers the rest. There are a few corner cases (complicated dental work, optics) but these are being addressed. Usually the out-of-pocket expense is minimal to nil (a "forfait moderateur" of around 1 euro per doctor's appointment for instance)
Correction noted and accepted. Thanks. In this particular thought experiment, dark energy (not dark matter as originally stated) has been replaced by the shape of space, and due to our inability to directly detect such extra-dimensional curvature we have defined this energy as a placeholder (which would not exist if this experiment proved to be true).

Here's the thing: following the news is not the most effective way of paying attention to what's going on. For that, a citizen needs to seek out some more information about what's happening around them; the news is just a constant feed of overt ads, hidden ads, and outrage-inducing reports on current trends in tribal politics.
Collating a private database of health history is an extremely dangerous practice and I will just drop this article from rms which has further links to other systems [0].

The article in this post, however, is lacking an explanation of how MIB gathers the medical records. It is therefore unclear if the users gave their consent to share the information even if it was through vague fine print. On the other hand the story would be very different if the data was gathered and shared without consent and I might wonder if a legal case can be made here.

In SF, Uber pool rides are cheap ($20 can usually get you anywhere in the City, and shorter distances at off peak times are often under 10). Compared with just cost of parking which is easily 300+ a month at many apartment buildings and only a piece of the cost of car ownership, commuting via Uber/Lyft actually makes economic sense.
France is a fantastic country to start a company: very little things to pay until you actually make a profit, company creation process is easy, consequences for failure are very low to inexistant if you’re a startup.
