It’s cool that you live in that wonderful country where no one gets thrown into jail unjustly. Unfortunately I live in the United States of America, which is not that country. I have spent three days in jail for something I didn’t do. It is also probably true that everyone violates laws during the day – we simply have too many laws to avoid this from happening.
Why quad data rate? The fundamental advantage of double data rate is that the clock signal has the same maximum frequency - and the same signal integriry requirements - as the data lines, whereas in single data rate it runs at twice the frequency making it the limiting factor. I can't see much obvious advantage to going above that though.
Interesting. On Windows 10, it shows a in/out "Headset (AirPods Hands-Free)" and an out only "Headphones (AirPods Audio)." So this transition would be very easy for the user to see. However, I've as yet been unable to get a straight answer on what profile the "Headphones" mode is actually using.

Detecting GPS Jammers in Augmented Reality
I have Toothfairy and it is amazing as a quicker way to connect my AirPods to my Mac, but I've tried that option for disabling input and it didn't seem to work for me unfortunately. Still absolutely worth the $3 for the other features though.

The look at the actual rulebook is fascinating. It reminds me a bit of Google's guidelines to the outsourced workforce that hand-reviews search results (https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en...).

I wonder if Facebook has had to hire political experts in every region to draft these guidelines. I would think you would need a sizable task force of political experts to have the necessary expertise to do this accurately for every country in the world.
When I lived in Denver I recall being far more worried about the characters outside the liquor store than the weed stores.
This article comes from someone who is well-credentialed but not in the specific topic of Vitamin D. His attribution of its current popularity is based on a flawed hypothesis: That the current popularity surrounding it is about fracture cases in senior homes. He focuses on correlations of fractures to supplementation, speedily dismissing any other evidence of benefits as cherry-picking, giving no figures about how many overdose cases he is seeing(what cases there are must be quite rare, since I've observed that clinicians writing about D3 have gradually bumped up their recommended upper limits for the past decade running with no end in sight), and failing to discuss other causal factors of his main point(e.g. D3 has been shown to be anti-inflammatory which would lead to less pain, more mobility and increased fall risk). I have to conclude that it's a scare piece.

I will stick with my D3 supplements, TYVM.
It should translate directly to a Surface and Surface Pen. So you get the slow thought of doing something with a pen and the accessibility of a digital medium.
Pricing plays a pivotal role in purchasing decisions in India. Additionally paid apps aren't a huge driver. That shifts more focus to hardware specs and features the local market cares about (dual-sim, uSD card slot, FM Radio).

iPhone XR - Apple's cheapest offering - clocks in at a cool $750. For that dough, there's no dual-sim, uSD or FM Radio - things valued in India. Compare that to something like a Xiaomi Mix 3 starting at $550. It's packed full of hardware features [3] and sports the latest Android, with an impressive DXO mark rating for the camera [1], that is higher than the iPhone Xr [2]!!

Even if Apple's brand mileage gains it a few new followers, I'd call it an extremely uphill battle for them to be relevant in India at the Price:Features game they're playing.

Go to the internet sales manager at the dealer. Last time I did it it was no-nonsense. They ask for my requirements, quote a price. I compare prices among a few dealers and went with the best. I go there and a car is ready for me to test drive. I had pre-negotiated a loan with my credit union so 30 minutes of paperwork and I'm out.
I'm a programmer, but I can make a cake without a recipe. Don't ask me to juggle though.
When I read these stories it always strikes me how arbitrary the system is. You can have insurance but you still may lose everything. There really is no way to do it right. It's a pure gamble.

Can you buy your carbon offset wholesale? How much would it cost to buy your estimated carbon footprint of a year?

Also, air conditioner and heater consume a lot. Try to get use to a wider temperature range (like 60°F to 80°F), it's not so bad.
Looking at the link, wondering if perhaps the Travis CI logo got pulled into the title?

Either way, thanks!
Same. I tried to debug why does my Ford sometimes get stuck in a state where it disconnects immediately after the phone starts playing. (Then fixes itself after a few days) I've learned many protocols, but BT was the worst experience. Had to give up rather than deciphering the mess...
One thing that I wish Linux kernel code had. Maybe it does but the few times I have found myself reading Linux code I go to the top and there is zero context in the comments, just a bunch of licensing information.
Why you should secure your customers data in order not to lose them
Because any time you say some is "the first", you obviously looked at some sources to find who was the earliest one fitting some criteria. Relaxing the criteria and/or looking deeper is very likely to find someone else. But you can never win an argument either way, because the criteria are arbitrary. So many disputes boil down to definitions.
Don't be confused by "C" compiler. This is a K&R C compiler that can compile legacy programs from the 70s on x64 machines. Great for software archeology.

This serves a completely different purpose than GCC or CLang.
I’m rather surprised that whiz kids like Sweeny and Carmack often end up becoming excellent executives as well.
In a worldwide software ecosystem there is no universal standard for ethics or diligence. Unhappiness in human interactions can usually be traced back to a mismatch of expectations. When I use software I expect nothing more than the formal legal agreement explicitly spells out. That way I'm often pleasantly surprised when software does anything useful at all!

For production software I've found it's wise to have a paid vendor to hold accountable (single throat to choke). Paid support is available for most major FOSS packages.
Bluetooth is equally or more universal than Wi-Fi, though. There aren’t that many connectivity standards that are present in just about every single device under the sun, including stuff like headsets and wireless mice and keyboards. It’s effectively wireless USB (from a user perspective), with all the good and the bad that that brings.
First off, marijuana is a flower, not an herb.

Second off, much work goes into developing and stabilising a strain.

Thirdly, high quality MJ is grown indoors, with artificial lighting.

Fourthly, it requires a curing process.
While the individual examples listed here are not good, what is the false-positive and false-negative rates for FB's method of censorship?

Globally scaling hate-speech censorship is a problem that many content websites (Youtube, Twitter, etc.) face. This article with it's leaked deck and false-positive examples seems like it's trying to generate shock at "how the sausage gets made". Any process involving humans will have outliers, but the question is, how effective is the process really?
Is this a joke or the idea is that the iron will be like a fertilizer to algae that will sequester more carbon and die and sink to the bottom?

(Is it posible to use raw mineral ore? The production of steel/iron use a lot of carbon.)
They can’t have this responsibility. It gives them too much centralized power and fails to devolve power locally where people are better fit to understanding the audience and the content.

I really think the answer is in localized, community-based moderation (with appeals to localized corp) like forums used to be. Obviously that goes against their will to control every aspect of their platform.
I don’t 100% remember, but it’s efficient immutable data structures, written by Bodil, who I assume you know.
Quite possibly the least helpful piece of advice I've seen around here. If you have concrete advice, then say it. Otherwise, you're just making baseless claims that don't help anybody.
It has 20 years of organic growth and includes a lot of lessons learned from the initial underspecification. Lots of profiles were specified but never used (video delivery, over bluetooth, anyone?). Many were not fully thought through and had to be revised (often in nasty ways to remain backwards-compatible). Sadly backwards compatibility makes it worse and worse every year. If you go and write a stack that complies with the spec 100%, you'll find that it works with maybe 50% of devices out there.

BT 4.0 was a chance to start over, and it will help a lot, in time... BT 5.1 will likely finally bring stereo audio over BT LE, with a cleaner spec than A2DP is. But once again, until all the EDR (classic) devices out there are trashed, BT classic remains a huge pain in everyone's rear and a mandatory thing to support. How soon is that? More than 10 years from now! Why? Cars are a major BT use case and many still ship with BT 2.1 car kits. People do not replace cars as easily as headphones.

> What you can do is _gamble_ that you probably won't have a collision, which is the same thing you could do with regular UUIDs and you'd be (nearly) guaranteed to never hit a conflict with UUID4 (or probably UUID1/2 if you trusted your mac address uniqueness).

UUID4 is no more safer than ULID since they both rely on randomness.
That’s maddening, because of course that’s just the kind of horrible, random outcome insurance and the modern social safety net was supposed to prevent. Are we going to have to go fully Victorian before the pendulum swings back?

To add to this: if your library is a part of a system (as most are in the US), you could go a little farther to another one to get a change of scenery. Sometimes working in just another room from your usual work space will improve your clarity of thought immensely.
Assuming the coded algorithm works as specified, it’s possible to specify in probability terms what the likelihood of an algorithm outage are.

It’s turtles all the way down from there, but it’s still valuable to scope “best case scenario” with probability math regardless of potential bugs in code.
Having a bunch of likely millenial aged individuals with limited life experience based in Menlo Park to have a say in discourse that crosses so many boundaries? What could possibly go wrong?

This needs to be challenged.

The New York Times author Bowles is referencing a video by name where the Youtuber Benjamin explains his position. This video is not linked to. There are other hyperlinks in the article, though. The author chose to not give the interested reader easy access to the opinion from the subject of the story. Why not? We have a completely one-sided story where the only the Patreon side have their say. Is this online journalism?

I will provide the links:

The video is properly titled "The Patreon Witch Trials (#PatreonPurge 2)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkON93drONQ

Its predecessor is titled "You Cannot Trust Patreon (#PatreonPurge 1)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ThPdCicEsg

Youtuber Benjamin claims the incident that got him banned did not happen on Patreon (and that Patreon only has rules for Patreon users what they can and cannot say on Patreon). Patreon employee Hart claims it happened on Patreon.

These are two opposite statements, they cannot be both true. If you've read the article and watched the videos and thus now know both sides of the story, whose statement do you think is right?
Almost all the storefronts have closed in Vancouver since "legalization", that's the big change I noticed.
This. It’s the second function in the file.
I actually built something very similar as a UWP app but didn't get as far as you have with the feature set. The "no proprietary formats" thing is the most important to me. All files stored as markdown in a simple file structure makes so much sense. Any other app can read the data. In fact, because we both went that way our apps can now share a note database, minus the tagging stuff.

Ill be downloading this to give it a spin.
My reaction to reading that this happened when the microphone was turned on was also a mental "well yeah, welcome to Bluetooth".

I have literally shifted my rating scale for crap technology completely to make room for Bluetooth to be far enough below everything else.

The nice part is a monkey brain interprets that as everything getting better, so I am generally more content with software and tech in general. So, thanks Bluetooth?
What’s stopping me timestamping a tonne of other people’s content before they do, and then claiming that they stole it from me?

Then we’re literally back where we started - proving ownership by other means.
Good find. I wonder if Andy Hertzfeld said one of the first and I misquoted him.
The Twinkie diet and similar diets are straw men. The fact that it is possible to consume high quantities of sugar and not gain weight is not surprising. The reality is that consumption of high sugar foods (especially high sugar low calorie like many sugary drinks) prime you to eat more. There is a causative relationship between consuming sugary foods and consuming too much. This can be overcome with unnatural levels of attention, however this is a fringe edge case and generally not relevant to discussing the broad impact of sugar in western diets.
You’re right about having it deducted from pay, by one other human report to NYT anyways:

A lot of the reason for creating something new, besides money, is to do something because it’s fun. It’s regrettable that the rise of programming in business has transformed most of programming into business. Nowadays it seems hard to present a new project as done-for-fun without being bucketed into the category of “not serious.”

HN was arguably created because it was fun to design programming languages.
A lot of things seem to get lumped into “functional” programming. The lexicon changes so I may just be behind the times, but ensuring every condition of branch logic is covered is not an aspect of functional programming as I understand it. And I may be wrong.
This seems like YouTube feedback loops on hot videos.

A former coworker's brother-in-law ran into this. He was a finance officer and got laid-off back during the Great Recession. He found a position as the CFO of a dispensary, and one of the first problems he had to address was employees doing cash pickups from the stores using their personal cars. So there were people moving $20k+ daily in their Toyotas (not especially safe!)

So he called some of the armored car firms to inquire about hiring them, and they all turned him down flat because they didn't want the chance of his cash getting intermingled with that of Wells Fargo, etc. What he did was set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to do the transport, buying a couple of armored cars to move both the money and the product.

For background on how actual Space Shuttle flight control software was written I recommend reading the "NASA Manager's Handbook for Software Development".

I like Tyler Cowen's voice and find it to be expressive.
I think 1-4 are ordered the way they are by priority.

That makes me extremely uncomfortable because I feel like in my career I've been a master in the reverse order, 4-1.

This could explain the unusual paths that I've taken, but I still feel like I'm a long way from reaching my full potential while still in my mid-30s.
Plenty of places can get me a significantly better burger in under a minute. McDonald's is not high up inside its category.

That seems like a strong way to put it... How about "stripped of opportunities not taken away by the state"?

California didn't give anyone a "right" to buy/use weed, they just said they wouldn't stop you. Notably, it's still illegal at the federal level...
The Sidney Awards, Part II
It’s faith, and a means to comfort and insulate oneself against a seeming impotence in the face of the unknown. The other alternatives are denial, or acceptance, the latter of which takes some real psychological fortitude. Prepping comes with communities of the faithful, rituals like practicing bugging out, and paraphernalia like bug out bags, gas masks, etc. When something looks irrational, involves a lot of faith, and takes on the appearence of ritual it’s helpful to think of that thing in religious terms.

With and average of 45 questions per day, how good can be the questions?
majority of the people won’t sing up for this

But have they (Facebook, Twitter or even Google) tried though? FB has billion plus users last I checked - if 10% of them pay $3 a month for no ads/no tracking etc, that is 300M a month. They can also charge businesses a lot more ("official" pages or whatever else they can cook up) and that can be even bigger revenue stream. I am not on FB anymore, so I don't know if they charge for anything - I won't be surprised if they didn't even bother to try
Do you want to be ‘right’, or actually have users?

The whole ethos of startups and Silicon Valley has been around finding a market for your product. If people don’t want to use it then you can’t blame anyone but yourself.

Feel free to chat with yourself using an ideologically pure system... it’ll be lonely though.
Also, the instance prices are already some crazy multiple of buying a machine, racking it, and running dozens of VM’s on it for 5 years.

I don’t know the prices for hyperconverged or converged infrastructure off the top of my head, but doubt the amazon rates are even close to competitive unless you’re at a tiny scale (or need a ton of tiny presences in different regions).

Thanks for the reference to the Go spec (link for the lazy: https://golang.org/ref/spec)

It is actually fairly comparable to the Rust Reference (https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/introduction.html), though the way the Rust Reference is divided into chapters makes it a bit hard to see everything at once or search.

They both do contain some examples, as well as things like the syntax in a BNF like format.

Perhaps what I'm looking for is just to have the Rust Reference made a bit more complete and a little more accessible in format (the division into chapters doesn't really seem to help much), as well as improving the SEO since it doesn't show up in Google searches often.
I recently saw a Kona in Palo Alto and immediately called my wife to have her google it. I didn't even know it was an EV — I just didn't recognize it and thought it was a great-looking vehicle.
The key thing to avoid with dealers is the "come on in". I don't "come on in" until we have a car agreed upon, a price agreed upon, and they've confirmed they're okay with me using my own financing/cash. If they won't do this, they're not worth your time.
If your kid is only eating sugar once a week that's really not the norm anymore and you've got my admiration.

Here's the thing I noticed when I was a single father. I'd have my daughter with me and she'd be fine doing what toddlers do. Someone would see us and whip out a piece of candy and give it to her, and then we'd say our goodbyes. 5-10 minutes later my daughter was bouncing off the walls, every single time that happened.

It's the sugar, and most all moms who spend a lot of time with their kids will tell you the same thing. That's who I learned about it from. And when I got up the nerve to start telling people, "Please don't give her candy" I stopped having that problem, when I was successful at stopping them.

I've seen the same thing with my youngest step-kids when my wife and I met and I took over the day to day caring for them. And I spent a great deal of time with "moms" learning from them and listening to them because when I started caring for my daughter myself (at 14 months) I realized fast that I didn't know shit about momming, and I was a very active father before then.

The funny thing about those who've posted links to "studies" here that dispute this is they must know there are many studies that do make this link for both sugar and Red 40, and that Red 40 is banned in many other countries because of it's links to making kids hyper and other issues.

I'll readily concede that these may not affect all kids the same, and that it probably affects young children most, but that really makes sense when you consider doses (serving sizes) and body weight. But in my experience it affects most children. I've not met many it doesn't, but I've met a lot of adults that ignore it.

The longer term ill effects of too much sugar are pretty well documented too. If you don't raise children to eat healthy foods you're pretty much failing as a parent.
The City of San Diego is the second largest city in California and the eight largest in the United States. For the latest election cycle the City Council fundraising was in the low $100,000 — hardly “millions.”

I think the total across all races in the entire county (school boards, ballot measures, multiple city councils, water districts, everything) was about $33 million for all candidates. SD County is so big that if it were a state it would be about 20th.
