I'm curious to hear about your specifics, since I was at a shop where front office used all floats (doubles).

Not sure what the back office did, but I doubt it was all done in arbitrary position arithmetic.

Note that if an accountant says things need to be accurate down to the penny, that's probably an exaggeration [1]. Financial statements are typically rounded to the thousands, e.g. Intel's are rounded to million [2].

The IRS also lets you round off dollars [3].

I agree though that if you're building a large complex system with many coders, and either 1) nobody has a full view of the calculation and can do the numerical analysis or 2) there's a high chance that at some point in the future you need penny-accurate bookkeeping, then it's safer to use a very wide int or float type.

Of course, there's also the case where the accountant or auditor doesn't actually need penny precision, but it's easier to just tell the coder 'just in case'.

Hospital rooms aren't hermetically sealed. Helium dissipates so quickly that this isn't a realistic safety concern.
Wow, they kinda buried the lede at the end there. He was apparently assassinated after the publicity, from the sound of it.
The "bureaucrats in Brussels" are nominated by EU Parliament members, who in turn are elected every five years directly by citizens in European elections. They are there not because the EU is anti-democratic, but because you cannot realistically expect elected representatives to deal with every single detail. Otherwise, you would be in a direct democracy.

Doesn't the same thing happen in the US? Federal and state agencies are full of non-elected employees that take impactful decisions on a daily basis, but I don't see many Americans complaining about a lack of democracy in the USA because of this.

A question would be whether the replacement forms a valid analogous statement, one which reveals unrecognized hypocrisy.

In this case, it's a partially successful analogy. Both mass tourist and immigrants travel to foreign lands, but one of them does so optionally while the other typically does so out of real or perceived necessity.
Resin (now Balena Cloud) is good but relatively bare bones at the moment. Issues we ran into:

- PagerDuty integration of device up/down (had to build our own similar to [1])

- Pinning specific devices to not latest version (not possible)

- Pinning specific devices to branch (not possible)

- Incremental / gradual / staged deployments (supposedly API has support for this but missing from standard tooling)

- Semantic versioning of releases (not possible, it only accepts and shows git SHA256)

- SSH access is technically possible (we reverse engineered their CLI tool which connects to their SSH reverse proxy) but it would be nicer if the resin ssh command provided a way to run remote commands non-interactively (e.g. to scrape load average, etc.).

- No prebuilt instrumentation like load average, memory usage, etc.

"Centimeter" is an long and ugly made-up word; not to say anything about all these "tera" and "nano" (not sure what the Greeks think about them).

The main point is that with the advent of automatic computers the original reason for "metrification" is no longer valid.

That is not true by any stretch of the imagination. If gases behaved like that then we'd all be choking on a layer of argon with all of the oxygen out of reach above us. No, gases diffuse and mix easily.

Amusingly, no. Folks have done just that.

That said, you can define away a large part of the problem.

Edit: For trivial examples of "org-mode" in an org-mode document, you need only look at the documentation of org-mode. That said, I expect there to be limitations, because they make sense. Similar to how you can pretty print json inside a jupyter notebook, but don't expect to have a notebook interpreted in the notebook. (If that makes sense.)
I think the problem comes when you define it as ‘some’ political ads.

The marketing seems to hint at premium product / premium price.
I think that sticking iPhones in helium balloons is now going to the top prank of 2019.
A generation of consumers have been raised to rent their content. I have DirecTV now, bundled with my cell plan so I pay like $15 a month. I have an MLB.tv subscription and I buy most of the rest of my media on iTunes. When movies are on sale they are like $6 and tv seasons for $10. I bought the entire Seinfeld catalog for like $60–easily worth the price and not to have to watch reruns with commercials. Generally, I spend $30 a month, so after a few years I have hundreds of movies and a dozens of TV shows. So most of the time I watch news on DirecTV, MLB.tv, or a movie in my iTunes library. I literally don’t understand Netflix and most of the shows on there haven’t been worth it for me to subscribe yet. But I definitely wouldn’t pay for a monthly streaming subscription. Maybe if I had kids.
it doesn't just take an iot device. every of app on your phone or pc or appletv or tablet could be hacking stuff on your local network and many of those apps have vulnerabilities which can be exploited to gain access.

As someone on HN once said, "bureaucracy is systems design for people who are bad with APIs". That said, I'm not sure naming your product after one of Spain's autonomous communities is the best idea.
Helium breathing mixes are for deep sea divers, not submariners. Most submarines run an interior gas mix nearly identical to regular air.
I'm very excited for this. I have a pretty nasty love/hate relationship with my personal Thinkpad P51. It's a fantastic device on paper, and the build quality is great to match, but... I try to boot Linux and I remember why Linus once gave Nvidia the finger all over again. Even on Thinkpad, issues you wouldn't see with nearly any Linux desktop system crop up when Optimus is thrown into the mix. Nouveau actually outperforms proprietary Nvidia drivers in certain circumstances, which had me extraordinarily confused.

It would be nice to boot into a laptop actually designed to use Linux from the ground up. And I don't mean what Dell does - I'm grateful for what they do, but I really want unmodified Linux to work as well on my laptop as it does on nearly any desktop I've built. System76, with both properties that they are going open with firmware and designs, AND building entirely for Linux, seems perfect to me.

I wonder a lot about their stated goal of a completely open compute platform. Sure, there's ISAs like RISC-V on the horizon, but I get the feeling many components like GPUs are quite far away from having open source equivalents that can act as drop-in replacements. There's a whole lot more than raw computation in modern CPUs and certainly more in the motherboard. Id still be moderately pleased with a "mostly" open platform, which is better than today where your choices are basically Lemote Yeeloong or something useful but nearly entirely closed off.
Emacs is, amusingly, a lighter client than most browsers nowadays.

On point, a browser can not remember ifa notebook. Just parse the json. It can also parse text/plain. So, could show the org document without styling. The org document is actually readable. Json... Not so much.

To see the notebook, you have to have a Jupyter setup somewhere.

Edit: For example, see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taeric/taeric.github.io/ma... which is the source for http://taeric.github.io/ChangeForDollar.html Not styled, and that is a short document, so probably woudn't be that tough to read in a json document, but I'm glad I don't have to.
you're right, sorry.

I see no real reason to feed it back to iOS. If Apple manages to integrate iOS apps into macOS well, I can see them shipping iPads/iPhones with i+macOS. Both OS's run the same kernel anyways so why not just tweak them a bit, glue the environments together, and have one run a superset of apps?

Apple's superior UX team and control over app distribution makes them much more likely to succeed than when MS tried to go down a similar road. Even their long-term investment in LLVM helps here. One can only hope us consumers don't end up with a more locked down macOS as a result.
Still can't plug in an external USB hard drive? That's a deal-breaker.

Any "pro" device needs to allow wired external storage and basic access to files for transferring to and from storage devices. That's just common sense.

To get my video files and large files, for example from my computer to the iPad, I need to go through iTunes or some annoying and slow wi-fi process, which is needlessly limiting.

In regards to the keynote, the constant applause and cheers from the audience is back, worse than ever. Why would the audience applaud "amount of units sold worldwide"? Just because Tim Cook ramps up his voice and prompts for applause at every bullet point in his powerpoint, doesn't mean the audience should oblige like well-behaved school children.

Not the greatest example, to be honest, since:

a) the very article you linked states "...no publicised cases of blasphemy have been brought before the courts since the law was introduced in 2009 and a source said it was "highly unlikely" that a prosecution against Fry would take place." - and indeed, the case was dropped after an investigation found, effectively, that not enough people were offended to be worth proceeding...

and b) earlier this week "voters overwhelming[ly] supported a referendum to remove [blasphemy] as an offence in Irish law." [0]

Java is pretty much all these things, except the highly subjective "looks pretty". It's kinda funny how Java was hated for not using native widgets, and now using native widgets is considered a negative.
Personalization. People love to express themselves with different cases and having the device even a several mm thicker would make most of the customers look at in disgust, because then with the personalized cases it would by huge. And trust me, outside of tech community, no one wants thick phones.
> You could always encrypt the payload, but all you're doing is giving your adversary another (trivial) hoop to jump through when you could've just encrypted the message to begin with.

Wouldn't "an encrypted message that no one is sure you sent in the first place" sometimes be more useful than "an encrypted message that any eavesdropper knows you sent" in oppressive-surveillance-state scenarios? (It seems that, if you find some subset of bits in a JPEG/PNG that normally have random distribution and don't affect the image that much, putting an encrypted message into those bits might be indistinguishable from a "completely normal" image even to a well-informed attacker.)
Would the amount to be repaid be at all contingent on when it is repaid? Or is it a fixed multiple, no matter when it's repaid?

Not that I know anything about manufacturing but from outside it looks like Apple's secrecy hasn't exactly prevented Chinese competitors from copying either.
You’d have to plug them in at exactly the same time though.
I'd much rather an external 3rd party case. When my $20 case gets worn or damaged I can spend $20 on a new one.

If that was built into the phone it would be much more expensive to replace, and I'd end up just putting another, slightly bigger $20 case around it to prevent that from happening.
Right.

But the hijack proposed detaches the Home from the Google Account with which those integrations would be attached.

The attacker could expose his own lights to the victim, but not the other way around.
But you can not just take any words and say it is a metaphor. I can not say "this is a walnut desk" when it isn't and just claim that it's a figure of speech metaphoring a very solid and beautiful desk. A metaphor must be widely understood as such before you can use it.
This is the best thing that can happen to this country. Well after getting rid of them all and their children.
Good question. So many companies go out of business because of Chinese competitors undermining the R&D margins. But then again, somehow companies like Prusa Research have steadily increased in sales even after three years of Chinese kits flooding the market before he (Prusa) even started his company. I hope it's the same for System76.
It's already like hacking some alien computer in a short amount of time :)
> But if you're already on the wifi network

The proposed attack is a way to take control of Home (and attach it to a new Google Account and network) when it loses wifi connection, it neither relies on nor provides the attacker access to the rightful owner's wifi network.
Yes, and the market size for that is…?

We don't all grow our own crops, make our own clothes, brew our own beer, refine our own crude oil etc, even though we may have the knowledge to do so. Some things are better left to specialists, due to efficiencies/legal reasons. Surely we can agree on this?

The only trickery involved is making sure it survives twitter's compression and image cleaning algorithms. Other than that, programs that read images will ignore garbage data after what should be there for a jpg or whatever, and programs that open archives will ignore anything that comes before the archive header, so it's literally as straightforward as appending a .rar file at the end of a .jpg file.

> Helium isn't toxic but it displaces oxygen.

While technically correct in theory, in any real world environment Helium will not displace Oxygen unless you are dumping orders of magnitude more helium than in this scenario.

> Heliox still contains enough oxygen to breathe (at sea level it's 21% oxygen just like normal atmosphere, and when diving the partial pressure of oxygen is the same as oxygen in normal atmosphere).

There’s so much wrong with this (and the rest of your post) I can’t think of a polite way to respond, so I’ll just wish you a good day.
Indeed, and historically, a slower RTC clock was also preferred because it would draw a lot less current during sleep mode. And it allows the rest of the system to throttle the main system clock up and down for power savings.

I said "historically" because I don't know is if these are still important issues on a modern system relative to all of the other things that are probably using the main system clock during sleep mode, and the more generous battery.
My "Never again" business/ people lesson is to avoid anyone with toxic nature be a part of a startup team, howsoever genius that person might be. Once bitten, twice shy about this.

For a Startup, destination obviously matters, but making the journey enjoyable should be one of the top priorities.

The three physical buttons are an anti-feature for me personally, because they reduce the size of the trackpad. And the trackpoint is a net neutral. I've used ThinkPads on and off for years and I still feel like a trackpad is more efficient than a trackpoint.
The problem with Jupyter isn't with what it does. It's the people who use it.

My experience as a data engineer/architect/application developer attached to data science teams for a while now is that most really good data scientists are very good at what they do, write somewhat competent code, and do not--in any way--care about writing good software or good application code.

Jupyter is a bane of my existence because people who use it want to use it for everything. Oh, it can have a web interface? Okay. The app is done. DEPLOY TO WEB USERS! NOW!!

It's a great tool. A lot of the people who use it are not software engineers, and they don't want to be. For a lot of people it's the straight line from point a to point b.

But in my experience, legit data scientists are pretty smart and are willing to learn a little if you're willing to give a little. This is a good exercise because they are typically skeptical about everything. So you have to be really secure about why you want certain things done certain ways, and why you definitely don't want things done other ways.

It's a good exercise for everyone involved if you have the right team dynamic and mutual, healthy respect for each other.

If you don't . . . well, then Jupyter notebooks completely suck.
Online outlets have a specific exemption for user-created content (https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230/legal); print outlets do, indeed, have to pre-screen ads and that's worked very well.

Even for tech companies, that exemption is limited; Craigslist got an exemption, but Roommates.com didn't because of the level to which its platform actively encouraged discriminating on prohibited categories.

If you are ever between jobs, or wondering what things you could be really good at or what careers might be a good choice for you, I highly recommend signing to take their extensive testing procedures, and then following up with them over the decades.
