I got a bad taste in my mouth from Udacity when I tried their React Nanodegree. It was oozing with the expert-in-a-week, fake-it-till-you-make it mentality.

Early on, I asked for help for why my code wasn't working, explaining why I thought it should. My question was handled by the actual face of the course -- the ostensible expert, Richard Kalehoff, and yet he had only a superficial understanding. All his answers were some variant of "I don't know why this isn't working, copy the example more closely." The conversation went roughly:

Me: Why isn't this code working?

Him: Obviously, because you called .setState in multiple places. Didn't you listen to the lectures? It's asynchronous, so you can't guarantee that it happens in the expected order.

Me: Yes, I know, but the docs say that if you chain them as callbacks, you can ensure that they happen in a specific order <link>. Why isn't that working?

Him: I don't know, no one does it that way. I think it's being overwritten.

<several other commenters point out why that can't be the case>

And I paid $800 for that expertise!

When I was a kid visiting family in Bangalore, a motorcycle hit the rickshaw we were in. The rickshaw driver and motorcyclist stopped right where they were, in a large (4-6 lane?) roundabout, and proceeded to argue with each other for a couple minutes. I still have no idea what they were saying, but the motorcyclist eventually picked up his bike and left in a huff. For his part, the rickshaw driver got back in, kicked a huge dent out of the sheet metal on his rickshaw, and we set off again.

Yeah, the problem is more with the headline than the study.
It depends on your preferences, but if you can afford it, my recommendation would be to live in Manhattan (below 100th St) somewhere close-ish to where you work when you first move here, even if that means compromising with a smaller/less nice apartment than you could get in Jersey City or the outer boroughs.

It's hard to find a great apartment if you don't already live in NYC and know what you're looking for, so you'll probably only be in your first apartment for 1 year anyway. Living in Manhattan will give you a central base to explore the city, get to know your transportation options, and make trips to other neighborhoods around the city that you might be interested in moving to. You will also avoid locking yourself into a commute that might be longer/more variable/more miserable than you might originally understand.

At the end of your year in Manhattan, you'll be able to make a more informed choice about whether to stay, or to "upgrade" to a nicer place in Brooklyn, Queens, uptown Manhattan, Jersey City, or even the suburbs.

I would rather see microsoft contribute to existing projects rather than throw code over the wall.
I could imagine some sort of scheme where home versions are free to download, but the right to redistribute is not included in that license. So OEMs still have to pay for an OEM version, and the server version still costs money.

But that would only work if it's legally possible to open source even that much of it in the first place, which may not be the case.

NULL isn't a Boolean value in ternary logic any more than 3.2 or 'Hello' or December 12, 2018, have Boolean values. It's UNKNOWN. UNKNOWN is related to NULL, but they don't work identically.

NULL is a value that any column data type can potentially have. NULL is what comparison and evaluation operators work with. UNKNOWN is a ternary Boolean type, and the Boolean type is what Boolean operators work with (AND, OR, NOT) and nothing else. This Boolean type in an RDBMS is unavailable to the user and is for internal evaluation purposes only. RDBMSs that support a "bool" type are not implementing the same thing. You can never say UPDATE MyTable SET Col = Value1 AND Value2. That's not going to work. Many RDBMSs have a documentation page that explains this difference, like this one[0] from Microsoft SQL Server.

Notably, NULL + 3 and NULL * 5 are both NULL. Any mathematic operation on NULL is NULL. But UNKNOWN AND FALSE is FALSE, and UNKNOWN OR TRUE is TRUE.

> I'm not sure how Microsoft would make the revenue work out

Isn’t Windows 10 already more or less free? You can download it on their site, install it, skip the activation and that’s it. There is a message “Activate Windows” at the bottom right of the screen but it doesn’t matter for most people I guess.
I think it's probably unlikely not because of any opinions of Microsoft, but because Windows is vast and contains large volumes of code they've licensed to use in closed source code, but not bought the ability to re-licence as open source.
It looks really great! It's stylesetting is miles ahead of plain text, available elsewhere in msdos.
Wall Street Journal: 50 years behind the times.
Sorry, I'm not sure that publishing a paid app source code would be a good idea. There is a chance that somebody will publish the same app under different name. Somebody has already published a crack for it. And another Safari app already reuses some code from Dark Reader for Chrome.

There was a long discussion regarding this review https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/9y0s2a/dark_reader_d...

You know, some Apple developer can also put some malicious code into Safari, but for some reason you trust them and use their browser, even though they used to slow down older iPhones without a warning, forcing users upgrade to newer devices. Who knows what they will do the next time.

I keep repeating this: two things Steam does right are effortless no-questions-asked refunds, localized prices in many regions of the world, so that people in poorer countries pay affordable prices.

I do think that Steam is only going to grow bigger, because most of the growth in game sales are going to come from China, Russia, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Africa, Mexico, Brazil etc than US and Europe. But most other stores does not seem to understand that expanding to these markets is key, and seems to be operating in US&Europe centric strategy.

(Off-topic: Incidentally Indonesia is not far behind the US in population, but current predictions show that they aren't going to overtake the US anytime soon, however Nigeria is on track to overtake both US and Indonesia to become the 3rd most populous country by 2050).

Ok, I learned to drive in Kanpur, infamous for drivers not following anything. Driving around there, you felt alive as you needed to constantly scan the road for potholes, unpredictable vehicles, unannounced speed bumps, running pedestrians, animals and high beam oncoming traffic with no lane separation. Bad Side, driving in other cities has painfully boring and an easy task for me, as you now have lesser variables to worry about.

Google's employees make up the bulk of Chromium's contributors and leadership.

Microsoft is of course free to diverge from it as much as they like but, like any other Chromium-based browser, they are either going to be joined at the hip to Google's decisions, or they'll be downstream consumers. The bottom line is that while MS will be contributors to Chromium they won't be in the driver's seat.

Great news, I'm looking forward what Discord is pulling off. As far as I heard, they also want to push into the game distributing market?

Epic Games seem to me really as one of the very very few game companies who, beside of marketing, also act very generous.
It doesn't scale, at all. Not when I am interacting with upwards of a hundred microservices.

And after a malicious ToC change, the company can immediately act on the policy, meaning if you're even a few minutes late to the party, or if it takes more than a few minutes to completely scrub your data from the website (it does) then your data is now subject to the new ToC.

So the ToC offers no legal protection from data abuse. It's just a nice thought.

> this will be a major blow to steam

we'll see. i'm in no hurry to rush out and buy anything that isn't on Steam. all these articles talk about the cut Epic will take, but as a customer, I couldn't care less. what i do care about is e.g. Steam's excellent return policy. maybe i'm just getting old and am not that interested in games, but i'm happy to pass up games if they aren't on Steam.

i'd venture a guess that Steam and Epic Games Store may not be competing for quite the same market; Steam is likely to remain dominant for PC gaming (maybe rightly so, they have worked hard to get there), and Epic Games Store might focus more on mobile gaming instead. so it's a bigger threat to the App Store/Google Play than Steam IMO.

How to Accept a Compliment – Even If It’s from Yourself
I read a neat criticism of ai techniques. The author pointed out humans can pick out a strong signal as well or better than ai. Humans could pick out signal from an array of weak sources. Ai would identify that case with fewer weak signals required, but it was hard to trust because it was sometimes wrong.

I wish I could remember the source. I’m sure it was an article here a few years ago. I want to say it was medical diagnosis based on charts.

Anyway, the point was there is a very narrow valley where ai is useful beyond an expert. And that valley is expensive to explore. And, there might not be anything there.
I would completely agree. Our decisions are made based on previous stimuli. Our networks of neurons are altered by stimuli as we grow, this determines how we process later stimuli and the process repeats.

No system is breach-proof; security breaches happen. We as engineers should strive to reduce the break-ins and diligently push for high standards nevertheless.

Having said that, this is pretty much a perfect response to the situation.

2. Concise description of what happened
3. Owning the mistake
4. Update of their mitigation
5. Promise to follow up & actionable items.
6. Additional technical detail for more interested: https://help.quora.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020212652

It sucks that this happened, but for that alone I'd like to applaud Quora team. Yes, it would've been great if they didn't have to force me to sign up from the first place. It would've been great if this breach has never happened. But for the context, they're handling the issue as well as possible.

Bill Gates: Books I loved in 2018
It is not possible to have a NULL type that works for all situations and has stable semantics.

The issue is, NULL should be a concept, not a value. I see no problem with using sentinel values, so long as they are well designed, and such good design comes with skill and experience, just as with all other aspects of architecture. The quest to have a single value that can be used for all the various possible meanings of NULL, to me, is the root of the problem.

People may have different intuitions about the capability of the average person, but they're wrong. Not all opinions are equally valid.

Reality is one way, and we build models of it in our minds to differing degrees of accuracy - the better your models the better you are equipped to make decisions in life. This applies to political decisions, major life choices, what you eat for breakfast.

Politicians are not only not very well versed in the fields they need to understand, they're sometimes purposefully ignoring it in order to do something popular among their voters. Direct democracy makes this a bigger problem - it turns into tyranny of the majority and there is no check on what is popular (in Switzerland there are actually a lot of checks, but I'm talking more in general here about Athenian style direct democracy.)

Imagine a direct democracy in France once they have a majority Muslim population - you could start to watch the freedoms we take for granted in the West being rolled back one at a time. And it's not that their ideas are equally as good as our Western ideas - not all ideas are equal, and I think despite being obviously biased, it's true for me to say that many of our ideas are superior.

If you had a direct democracy in South Africa, they would take all property from the rich and redistribute it. The country would promptly fall apart like Venezuela and Zimbabawe where similar things happened. In Switzerland I think people understand the ramifications of doing, what on the surface, sounds like a good thing.

Representative democracy doesn't save us from this at all (the scenario in South Africa looked like it would come to pass, and they reversed course under international pressure) but it may curb some of the worst excesses of a direct democracy.
