I really don't see why not choosing to archive their data for privacy reasons is that big of a deal. I personally find it much better than having everything stay forever. I've always found the notion that everything must be shared with the whole world quite strange.
Oh my.. if you think the Pixel leaks were bigger than the Dragonfly leaks, then it's definitely you living in a bubble. Google has been condemned by leaders around the world, including the freaking Vice President. Facebook and Google are being fined for billions for their evil behavior. Literally hundreds of Google engineers and managers has publicly condemned their employer because of the Dragonfly project, risking their job and future promotions. When has that ever happened before? I certainly can't think of another instance.

If you think Facebook and Google hasn't been affected by the evil "nonsense" then I suspect you greatly underestimate the quantity and quality of the HN engineers, as well as how big the topic of privacy has become outside HN/Reddit/etc as well. The ivy league school I went to certainly discussed the evil practices of Facebook very often, and several would be ashamed of working there.. I graduated long before the Dragonfly project came to light, but there's no doubt in my mind that it's a hot topic at all the top universities, as well as workplaces around the world.
It's more of her having an emotional discovery of how she can still see and view her daughter's life, even if she hasn't figured out how to be an active participant yet.
Sure she used her position to write about it and throw it up on NYT but the bigger point is that it could help many parents who have similar issues find some solace, or maybe another avenue to reconnect with their teenager's life. I think this is something that resonates with those who have children that are pulling away.

This is - of course - historically wrong.

Through most of history, in terms of "general", "average" lifestyle both parents have worked from dawn to dusk doing manual labor or. If they saw their (over ~6 yo) children during this time it was because the children were working with them.

It's always been normal for children to grow up and be less known to their parents.

20 years ago the same people would complain how their kids would go to the mall and they'd never know what they were doing.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. -- Socrates, ~420BC.
Of course. This is a blatant challenge to the government's authority.
> I'm wondering if someone might be able to give a description of what 'boosting' is, and how it benefits a player?

Bragging rights as far as I can tell.

There are a few games where boosting helps (helped?) you gain higher tier items. In WoW TBC my team would sell spots on our teams. The buyer would stand around in a corner while my 2s/3s partner and I would play 2v3 win maybe 8-9 out of 10 games, and the buyer would then be rewarded with in-game currency used to buy items they wouldn't be able to get on their own. Eventually Blizzard patched the game and changed the rules so that it was not possible to boost without account sharing, so we stopped.

But, as far as I can tell that's usually an exceptional situation, and most of the time it's exactly what you describe - bragging rights that would quickly disappear if you tried to play on your own, because you'd tank your rating.

Correct.

> The reason is not important.

I didn't say it did from an objective point of view, but in order to remove the inflammation you need to identify and discontinue the emotion that's causing it.

Maybe the use of the word "trauma" is a red herring for you. It's any emotional state that causes a chronic negative physiological state.
BART has a lot of above ground track, but so does the New York MTA. With all of the above snow on the tracks will translate into problems underground.

> hey are complaining that they can't implement rolling block scheduling because they don't know where their cars are or how fast they're going, and they're saying they need to spend an absurd amount of money to remedy that situation, and that's what I'm objecting to.

Collision avoidance is an inherent part of scheduling and tracking. The reason they run so much distance between trains in New York (and almost anywhere else) is almost entirely because they're allowing enough distance for the train to stop without hitting the vehicle in front of it. Locating the vehicles with enough precision and accuracy is more than simply sending a signal — although the inductive loops used by Muni work well enough[1] underground until the trains (or, most recently, contractors) themselves destroy the loops. CBTC in by its very definition is more than simply vehicle location.

While I'm mostly in the camp that BART is wildly incompetent, they tried to reinvent an even simpler train control in the 70s and demonstrated quite explicitly what happens when you underestimate the problem at hand. More recently they've spent tens of millions trying to come up with a CBTC (and so has Caltrain) and failed completely. If you know something they don't, talk to a lawyer and file some patents as you could make a mint.

1: For the first decade or so after Muni went to a CBTC[2] setup even something as basic as the transponders were huge pain points and you'd see massive failure rates over time leading to all sorts of problems underground.

2: The big selling point of the CBTC setup Muni chose was that it could be installed with a minimum of disruption AND that it used cheap, off-the-shelf parts. Alcatel/Thales abandoned that design almost immediately after pawning it off on Muni.

Yeah I don’t think the modern minute-by-minute generation who live on their phones are interested in dedicating an entire hour or two per show. Even Youtube with its 10-min videos seem long now. Netflix might need to create some ‘microshows’ to keep the younger generation’s attention.

I rarely notice PWM strobing with most LEDs at home.

However, once place where I do notice it and it's annoying is with taillights on some cars - sometimes when I sweep my eyes across the cars ahead, I see the strobe effect from LED taillights.

It doesn't seem to happen with all cars.

I've noticed it in a few bike taillights, but not nearly as much as in cars. I used to have an early LED bike headlight, and the strobing was very apparent when the light was dimmmed, I could only use it at its highest level.
> That's a strawman

It wasn't intended to be; yes that's what I meant; don't check full output, check the relevant sub-section. Plus, don't check for order in the output when order doesn't matter, accept slight variation when it is acceptable (e.g. values resulting from floating-point computations) etc. Don't just blindly compare against a textual reference, unless you actually expect that exact textual reference, and nothing else will do.

> "Accuracy", aka the output of your functionality is a non-functional test? What?

Don't act so surprised. Plenty of products have non-100% accuracy, speech recognition is one of them. If the output of your product is not expected to have perfect accuracy, I claim it's not reasonable to test that full output and expect perfect accuracy (as functional tests do). Either test something else, that does have perfect accuracy; or make the test a "performance test", where you monitor the accuracy, but don't enforce perfection.

> And I never said regressions aren't acceptable.

Maybe, but I do. I'm not advocating that you don't know about the regression at all. Take my example with speech - you made the algorithm run 10x faster, and now 3 results out of 500 are failing. You deem this to be acceptable, and want to release to production. What do you do?

A. Go on with a red build?
B. "Fix" the tests so that the build becomes green, even though the sound clip that said "Testing is good" is now producing the textual output "Texting is good"?

I claim both A & B are wrong approaches. "Accuracy" is a performance aspect of your product, and as such, shouldn't be tested as part of the functional tests. Doesn't mean you don't test for accuracy - just like it shouldn't mean that you don't test for other performance regressions. Especially so if they are critical aspects of your product/ part of your marketing strategy!

> And it would be tedious and pointless to accompany every result with a disclaimer about PAC learning assumptions- "this result is only meaningful if we accept that our dataset came from the same distribution as the real world" etc.

That assumption is not necessary, as I mentioned and mlthoughts mentions above, we do have tools to deal with discrepancies between test and train distribution.

BTW I want talking about research but meat and potatoes applications.

I think it is intellectually lazy to raise questions that even the person asking the question and everyone else knows that there cannot be an answer, especially when we dont define things (example 'real world'). Its easy-peasy to ask for things that are epistemologically impossible. On the other hand working within the limitations of impossibility theorems, under assumptions that seems reasonable, to obtain theoretical results as well as practical algorithms to solve real problems -- now that is a valuable proposition.

Sorry, I certainly don't mean you in particular!

It's a common pattern. When a software system becomes complicated and fragile, it's quite common for the developers to get scared of breakage and move slowly.

Sometimes there are fundamental reasons for moving cautiously, and sometimes they're accidental reasons that could be fixed with a better process (such as better tests). Either way, just being more reckless isn't going to help.
Windows 10 comes with defender which is sufficient for my needs.
We're in trouble, then.

I have to agree that technology has to play a big part in mitigating and surviving climate change. I don't believe we have the social means to change our consumption patterns enough.

Right now, to meet the approx. 1.5 tons of CO2 per capita long-term target implied by the (inadequate) Paris accords, you basically have to be homeless in the west. Just your share of infrastructure puts you over the limit.

I don't believe for a moment we can, as a society, voluntarily reduce our quality of life to the point that our emissions would be sufficiently reduced. Any political system that tries that will collapse, because that's what happens when economic growth stops. And if your society is in upheaval, you're not going to be solving climate change, except possibly through self-destruction.

So yes, we definitely need to act, but that action needs to include some very impressive technological change, because without it, we're all but guaranteed to fail.

> Ultimately wouldn't that all be for little if you then play consistently against much better players than you, and lose continually until your profile reaches equilibrium again?

"Boosting" is most common in team games, where some players believe they're being "held back" by their low-rank teams, and believe that having their account boosted will allow them to join the ranks of players that they belong in.

In practice, they're always wrong. All that a boosted account means is that the boosted player will ruin a bunch of games for other players until they drift back down to their true skill.
I really don't think making a claim of 1000 followers is a humblebrag in any kind of sense. It's only slightly above average (the average being 843), so kind of a weird thing to think of as a brag.

His main theme is: build for humans (can apply to anything, software also).

But today we are all about status. We think what we possess is who we are. This is a lie created by marketing. But it's very hard to change this in our cultures.

We now see movements like the tiny house movement, minimalists, healthy food movement and so on.

Imho those are all anty riactions to the marketing we are now hearing for years.

So even if Christopher is right about how to build it can be very hard to change the way we think (about building).

> Seems like he was suggesting that old traumas led to maladaptive behaviours which led to ailments.

Spot on, and it's a very interesting point. Chronic negative emotions can have a direct harmful effect or an indirect effect by leading to maladaptive behaviour.

A chronic anxious state might cause impaired immunity that leads to chronic infections or greater vulnerability to acute infections.

Or it could lead to heavy smoking or drinking or recreational drug use that could cause or compound said immune impairment.

Consider, was someone who died of alcohol-induced cirrhosis afflicted by a primarily emotional or physiological illness?
>Firefox that ran Tree Style Tab properly

Indeed. I remember sitting there thinking about the ridiculousness of all of these 1 narrow-skinny column webpages on screens that were wider than they were high, and not having the tabs vertical. This was back when most regular users were browsing at 1024 x 768.

Now we're at 1920 x 1080 and it's even more ridiculous.

For what it's worth, I used an outdated version of Palemoon (27.9.4) which still (mostly) supports TreeStyleTabs.
> This is tentamount to saying, "a good meal of delicious food can lift one's spirits, therefore eating a rich diet everyday will make one happy!"

That doesn't strike me as a faithful analogy. The original proposition is: emotions caused ailment at time t1, so why can't emotions cause ailments at time t2?

That's a perfectly valid hypothesis reached from simple deduction. You assert a false equivalence of the two key propositions (lift one's spirits/make one happy) which invalidates it as an analogy.

Yeah this is very not new at all. Before industrialization they were tiny workers that did actual work on the farm when both parents were working. Those lucky enough to be nobility were trained from a young age in the various areas a noble needed to know.

Marriages tended to be a bit older among peasants just because there was 'less of a point' but nobility had marriages at 12 or so - and not even always with a comparable age partner. Certainly not stating that this is /right/ but the point is that normal doesn't really mean much and don't look to the past for arcadia.

Really historically if anything kids are growing up 'slower' than they were for centuries - and that is a far better adaptation to our current needs - we need more skilled specialist work outproduces manual labor thousand fold.
Back when DLP projection TV's were popular, I used to see the "rainbow effect" and it was distracting enough that it was hard to watch anything on the TV.

Many people can see it, but don't really notice it... until you point it out. I pointed it out to one guy that owned his TV for a year and never noticed it, but after I pointed it out to him, he couldn't stop seeing it and could never enjoy his TV after that.

On many servers you can have a single physical ethernet port that works for both the service processor (BMC) and host processor. If you want someone to have access to only the host system and not the BMC then you place your trust in a bunch of hardware and firmware that does the sharing of the port.

Having the port shared can save in cabling, but you trade that off for trusting some firmware to do the right thing.

Isolated ports mean that you can have one cable that goes to the BMC and only the BMC, and one that goes to the host and only the host. i.e. you place trust for isolation in the fact that two cables go to two different places, and don't involve another bit of firmware.

At last a comment mentioning alternatives.

Jira is the primary target of the article when it probably should be how people run agile projects, and how organizations tend to struggle findind the most efficient (software development) processes to reach their business goals.

This article could have been written for any similar Jira direct / indirect competitors like you mentioned, and the like of Asana, Trello (Atlassian), Aha, plain old Word, Excel and so many others.

But it wasn't, because it's just easier to pick the elephant in the room and have a go at what remains a great tool when used wisely. Kind of like pen and paper, after all.
If we do change course, that would cause the deaths of hundreds of millions if not billions of people. This is what it would take to change course. You'd have to send the dissenters off to prison camps, which would realistically become death camps. The required level of control was tried in the 20th century, for just a moderate portion of the world, and that is exactly what happened.

You simply can't make the entire world change course, not without killings done on a scale never seen before.

The headline and the article don't match up at all:

> The National Institutes of Health announced today that enrollment for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is now complete and, in early 2019, scientists will have access to baseline data from all ABCD Study participants.

> Researchers interested in accessing these data can visit the NIMH Data Archive https://data-archive.nimh.nih.gov/abcd . As findings are published in various journals by both ABCD investigators and other scientists, study coordinators will continue to post information on the study website https://abcdstudy.org/ at https://abcdstudy.org/scientists-publications.html
It'd be better to watch it boot over serial (which can also be done via SSH to the BMC) rather than this graphics port.

the BMC chip (ast2500) has support for being a GPU for the host processor. It's a good old pretty dumb 2D framebuffer. Good for running an OS installer on.

Because (currently, we're working on it) boot time is more than a couple of seconds before we could bring up a discrete GPU, this connector will get you boot progress (and let you see an error) that occurs before we could fire up a PCIe GPU.
