Deep Diesel Pt2 – Detecting Diesel Cars with a HOG Detector
From YouTube description:

"This Model S was stolen in Epping, Essex. The key was at the back of the house, but PIN to drive was off and passive entry was enabled.

EDIT: According to Tesla, even if the thieves disabled Remote Access, Tesla could still turn it back on and/or track the vehicle. The fact that they are unable to means either the thieves removed the physical SIM (apparently easy to get to) or they used a battery powered device to block Internet access in the vehicle."
I remember how school physics teachers face lit up when the discussion about moon landing came up. He told that there was great speculation and differing opinions on what would happen next (like Heinlein and Clarke do here) but nobody thought that next 50 years would be just "Boldly going where Yuri Gagarin has gone decades before".

Simple rule for futurology: Economies of scale + incentives >> inspiration + technological ability.

Our smartphones match or outpace what science fiction of that time thought possible. Internet has transformed our culture in just few decades. In space only satellites are good business and they make just $260 billion revenue per year. There is not enough ROI in space to justify investing significantly more money into it.
Very strange experience. As far as sharing anecdotes go I have witnessed two people coming to Apple without previous experience and having zero problems.
You yourself state how happy you were to go back to familiar land of Android. So it may be, that Apple is not an issue here.
Okay, tell me if this is readable to you:

fn accumulate<'a, T: Monoid>(tuples: &[(&'a str, &Fn(i32) -> bool)], i: i32) -> T
where
T: From<&'a str> + From<String>,

this is JUST the function signature

yes, every single thing in there is necessary, it can be written in a more gruesome way, but the where clause clarifies it a bit

But let me cheat a little bit

( $(#[$attr:meta])* enum $enumer:ident { $($i:ident => $e:tt $( ( $($m:ident),* ) )* ; )* } ) => {

Hi AnnoyingSwede, myself and many others disagree with you and cannot see how you could want something other than a meritocracy. In what way is meritocracy lacking merit? I've not seen anyone explain this - but rather just try to force their view points using authoritarianism. It doesn't take much more than the Tweet history of the author to realize that their level of crazed vulgarity way surpasses Linus, if that is the charge (which it seems to be):

I'm sure that if you can make WASM secure without the GC part, then you can create a safe interface. Yes, it may leak memory (remember, so can a GCed program that forgets to unreference objects), but that's just something you have to deal with when programming at a low level; and languages built on top of WASM can make that a non-issue, actually.

Let's keep WASM simple. It's probably the best thing one could do in view of security.

I think the reason for the changed topic is that privateSFacct is trying to be a pain in your ass. I have no idea what his motivations are, but shifting goalposts is one of the techniques he is using. It's obviously working.

Asparagirl keeps saying things like "you seem to be under some misapprehension that we are a company or are “bidding” on a project. Please educate yourself about state Freedom of Information Laws or Sunshine Laws."

privateSFacct seems intelligent and informed. I suspect that he knows that he is making absurd arguments. I recommend you stop engaging.

It's easier and much more efficient to get resources such as raw materials and metals from the ground. Being in the air without option of landing means you are completely dependent on import of raw materials to repair/expand your habitat. Very inefficient as well as not economical.

It might be cheaper to get to Venus than to Mars but on Mars you can actually start mining and building factories on the ground. At some point, it becomes much cheaper and more economical. It's just the initial hurdle of getting there with enough stuff and people to start a colony which can self sustain itself and grow.

Once you have brought enough initial stuff to Mars, you get to a point where you can start extracting materials from the ground and free up all the cargo in the ships for just people and perhaps some special items you still cannot manufacture on Mars. But majority of cargo space is freed up.
Same here. I just learned yesterday that iOS 12 allows you to rest your finger on the space bar to begin moving the cursor like you would a mouse. Use another finger to tap the keyboard (anywhere) to start and end selection mode.

No we built our own. I started working on it in 2015 before much of the seeverless hype.

> How do you know how big the business can grow in terms of revenue when the vast majority of your users are free?

You don't. You have some plan and some people back you knowing that you're probably wrong about part or all of it. If you're careful and don't balloon the company (we're 6 people and hire very very slow) and get to default alive then you can have a near infinite runway to figure it out.

One rule of thumb is that if your developers are making money using your tools then they're more likely to pay. We all know devtools is a tough space but we're very driven, ambitious, yet conservative at the same time. Take every opportunity to cut burn and make revenue.

I am not sure that the way files are usually presented is actually that much better.

You and I know that a file is data and a file format is defined by the structure of the data.

Most regular users I have talked to don’t know this. If you ask them what a file format is they will say that the file format is determined by the extension of the file.

Even with a file system presented to the user you still end up with most people not having a real understanding of what files actually are.

Likewise, a lot of users will insist that certain file formats “belong” to some particular program, just because the extension associated with the format is handled by that program on their computer.

Furthermore, most users have no idea what really happens when you open a file in a program.

In fact I would bet that at least some are completely unable to distinguish the data of the file from the interface that they are using to edit the file.

A file system is a powerful abstraction, but I don’t think it teaches the “truth” on its own.

Neither do I think knowing about files is the most important for someone wishing to understand computation.

The most important to understand is what a data format is, and knowing that knowing the details of the byte-level structure of the data is what allows software to be implemented to interact with and optionally transform that data.

Furthermore, I wish more people knew some fundamental things about data like

- the difference between text and an image of text

- the difference between bitmap and vector graphics

- the difference between lossy and lossless compression, and how these work

- why some formats are hard to work with, for example extracting data from PDF files

Etc.

Understanding these things does not require a user visible fs, nor will a user visible fs help most people understand these things for reasons I stated earlier in this comment.

We can put that another way: the odds of a populated Mars being an anarchist utopia are nil. Politics and power dynamics would remain.

Come on, the whole new world discovery had bad roots. It was to expand to find wealth and get fat. Colombus isn't responsible but the big picture is that the ~amazing discovery resulted in massive genocides from north to south america.
well yes you could if you put it like that, my main point is that in that case you would have to make sure the community as a whole (all the main devs) share that point of view.

I guess that one of the only ways of learning to be a founder is to found a company, and if it’s the founders first startup that would, by definition, make him inexperienced.

People react differently to the pressures that come along with being a founder. From what I’ve seen the ego and lack of faith in employees could stem from the founder’s insecurity. Some people handle insecurity by asking for help, others handle it by charging ahead. Insecurity can make it hard for founders to ask for help or accept input from employees.

All in all, I’d say that what you’re experiencing is extremely common.
Another thing, bridge's weird trajectory is reflecting decades long conflict of Shenzhen municipality's and economic planners in Beijing. For long, they tried to maximally deprive "Shenzhen upstarts" from economic benefit from them neighbouring Hongkong.

The bridge was more about diverting economic influence of HK's away from Shenzhen, than providing an economic benefit to HK.

Shenzhen's answer was building their own bridge to another bank of the delta with their own money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen%E2%80%93Zhongshan_Bri...

Once Shenzhen–Zhongshan bridge will be operational, it will completely jeopardise Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge economically.

On top of that, there is a persistent rumour that there is a political will to do a tunnel to Nei Lingding island, and add another connection to Zhuhai from there (so called revived Lingdingyang tunnel.) This is also the very reason why Beijing has declared the tiny Lingding island a "National Level" natural reserve, thus depriving Shenzhen's officials jurisdiction over it.
Thank you! this sounds very close to what I'm building

Hands-On Labs: Serverless and OpenFaaS with Python
#1 I find is not worse than C++, granted there's more complexity here than in Python but in terms of cleanness its ok IMHO. Because as you said there's nothing unnecessary. Rust addresses different problems than Python, so we should compare apples with apples.

On the second one you got me though, I find the macro syntax a bit horrible. Sometimes I just want simple text substitution.
Even without the burden of understanding business requirements, it still takes programmers a fair amount of analysis to program without making a mess that will kill their ability to make progress; learning the latest JavaScript framework does not help at all in that regard. I'm glad to hear you manage, but your employer may want to consider hiring fewer programmers and paying them higher wages - I know a lot of companies would benefit from that.
I would not mind if all misanthropes went somewhere else and left humans on Earth alone.
What are the current thoughts on what caused oceans on Mars to disappear (with some remainder concentrating in ice caps)? Was it some impact of a really big meteor/comet? It is accepted that Mars used to have liquid water oceans and rivers in the past, correct? You can see geological remains of rivers and oceans, for example, quite clearly on Mars.

Yes, they modelled it after Epita which was also about code, code, code.

Also, while it's nice that Xavier Niel finances a school that is free, most of the universities and Grandes Ecoles (where many developers graduate from) are also free, and financed with public money. They work great and produce really skilled developers and architects.

The reality is that Xavier Niel didn't do a Grandes Ecoles, he's mostly self-taught. When he started to succeed in the telecom industry other companies, full of alumni from Grandes Ecoles didn't see him with a good eye because he didn't have the pedigree (and didn't hire many of them either). So he has a grudge about the Grandes Ecoles system, and creating a school with private money is kind of a middle finger to them.

Not that I believe the fierceness of the assertion however.

The CoC's writer's blogpost https://where.coraline.codes/blog/my-year-at-github/ certainly proves she has issues with the term "meritocracy"

> At first I had my doubts. I was well aware of GitHub's very problematic past, from its promotion of meritocracy in place of a management system

And most articles I have read detail the idea that "meritocracy" is inherently biased because it is men deciding the merit (since male dominated) https://readwrite.com/2014/01/24/github-meritocracy-rug/

She wrote a COC and various projects have adopted it to a lesser and greater extent and with varying levels of controversy
> it's just quicker -- like days quicker -- for me just to throw everything to the wind and clone the repo again

In this case, I have a single suggestion for you: Give the following extra arguments to git clone.

--reference /path/to/existing/clone/ --dissociate

This will download objects from your existing clone rather than from the remote repository, thus saving you a great deal of bandwidth if your repo is appreciably large. Also, this operation is absolutely safe. It will only copy objects over into the new clone that are referenced in the remote repository.
You don't need million threads to be really fast. You need enough threads for your load. If you need to handle 1000 requests per second with each request taking 10 ms in average, you need 100 threads. It's absolutely adequate number of threads for OS to manage. If you would write this code with async style, you won't achieve anything, because bottleneck would be with database or another service or disk I/O. Million threads is very rare case.

It is extremely easy to look this up... Just check the screenshot in my above comment, Twitter, the post-meritocracy site, Coreline's blog, etc... When Coreline was Corey, he was not an activist - and was not given such power. When he was a man he worked in a meritocracy. Now that he's changed his gender he wants a "post-meritocracy." This is not hateful to say; it is merely an account of history. And if you're going to call me out for saying "he" - remember every cell in his body has a Y chromosome in it, and what language policing you will have to endure if it were enforced (which is it becoming, as you can see by the fact that my comment history is mostly censored).
When I read articles such as this one I still see a lot of hype.

I'm not a Luddite or anything, bu I think the future of sustainable, productive agriculture lies in agronomic science, not laser-robot overlords or the next OGM fad.

If driving a car is less demanding than driving a tractor, let alone a tractor coupled with equipment, since we're still some years away from generalized self-driven cars, what can we say about farming in general?

There's a lot of work to be done that would make agriculture sky-rocket in terms of efficiency and environment protection.

The last great changes in agriculture have been to lock away the farmer from the equipment, managing software, and crops they use, and to make it easier for large companies to guarantee sales and futures markets to gamble on predicted yields.

In the past, the food industry was in between farmers and consumers. Now it seems independent farmers are the middle man corporations want to remove: an annoying part of the chain of production.

So this has nothing to with technological advances, but in feeding the hype that everything can be automated with ease. This is a publicity stunt for the zeitgeist of the AI dream.

And, by the way, pest and weed control is not a triviality. Not if you want to do it right. Automation is not the mere substitution of humans: it's also the adaptation of the chain of value so that it can be automated. It always comes with a cost that is sometimes underestimated.
Except for Unix kernels and version control systems, I would say.
