The same is true even for dogs, to some extent. And, to some extent, some people are just born very slightly sadistic or mean and there's no noble underlying reason in the first place.
Nope. No computers with signal processing capability yet. There was usually just a wave guide (or voice tube) leading to a man listening with his ears, or later models had a microphone.

The waveguide was rotatable so that sound direction could be roughly determined. This was done by slowly turning the guide until the sound was at its loudest and then reading off the angle.
Flight attendants should totally have a tip jar on the way out. I try my hardest to message the company and state why any particular flight attendant was particularly exceptional but it would be nice to have an easier way to say thank you.
Can you rename it to "the lamp"?

“He took these books home and tried to find out. He succeeded after some trouble, but found some of the properties of vectors professedly proved were wholly incomprehensible. How could the square of a vector be negative? And Hamilton was so positive about it. After the deepest research, the youth gave it up [and] died.

My own introduction to quaternions took place in quite a different manner. Maxwell exhibited his main results in quaternionic form in his treatise. I went to Prof. Tait’s treatise to get information, and to learn how to work them. I had the same difficulties as the deceased youth, but by skipping them, was able to see that quaternions could be explored consistently in vectorial form. But on proceeding to apply quaternionics to the development of electrical theory, I found it very inconvenient. ... So I dropped out the quaternions altogether, and kept to pure scalars and vectors....” —Heaviside
Seems like Apple has forgotten who their customers are... instead they are going for people who worry about specs and technology etc.... this is not kind of apple i have viewed in the past.
Tabs Outliner doesn’t remember the hierarchy of your tabs between browser sessions. Every time you quit and then start Chrome, you end up with a flat list of tabs.

That’s a huge non-starter for me. Not fit for purpose.

I installed Sidewise Tree Style Tabs a few hours ago and it seems solid so far.

You should showcase your product better.

Add a text input box so that prospective users can try it themselves.
You should have said "G Suite calendar". Technically I suppose it's "Google" calendar, so you're not wrong, but a number of things aren't really available on G Suite, which Google positions as their "business" offering. And a lot of other things aren't available on consumer GMail. That's probably why you're having issues adding others to a family group.

Should it be available? I suppose it should. But it's not really a problem for 99.99% of their users. The rest can use Alexa. :-)
Why does it have to be LA though? Is there any place in the US where her skills could translate to being able to pay for a housing/shelter?

I know real third world poverty and people that barely earn US hourly minimum wage in a day, and yet in the US, the richest country in the world, it’s OK to live off of others and demand “rights”
Use WPA3-Enterprise (you can use Let's Encrypt to get a valid certificate so it works fine in a home environment).

Don't use SAE (which is, indeed, an instantiation of Dragonfly). I have a strong suspicion that the way it is used, there will be a practical attack.
I am not entirely sold on Netflix Originals. The way a network grows, NTFLX is a network, is by creating quality content that stands the test of time. Great works of art that you constantly want to re-watch Mad Men, The Sopranos, The Wire, BB etc.

Name one show on NTFLX that you want to re-watch 5-6 years from now. They produce good content, its good enough for streaming in one day but is it worth revisiting in the long-term, does it get you excited about any other future projects ? Hell ,no.

This is incredibly subjective, I live in India and found that I was using it less and less even though I was keeping the subscription on. I have Prime Video and Hotstar, Hotstar is a shitty streaming service but they have license to content from HBO and FX and they have live streaming for EPL & Bundesliga my main reason for subscribing.

I cancelled my NTFLX subscription a few days ago. I might switch it on for a couple of months, when I its off-season for live sports, but otherwise I intend to use it sparingly until they start producing quality content, which I have a high bar for.
I like this. The only worry is that sometimes it can take a long time to get to the center and in the process of making that journey you may realise that you chose the wrong center to go towards.
The security implications are no different than those for hosting any other web application which most developers are already comfortable doing.

I think it is just philosophy / logic 101.
I'm not entirely understanding the motivation for this. The most naive method would be to just UCI move notation, that's simply square1-square2. Eg: e2e4 e7e5 g1f3, etc. That's 4 bytes per half move or ply (5 bytes for the once in a blue moon promotion). At an average of 80 ply per game, that's 320 bytes per game notation.

So if we have a billion games that'd just be 320GB. And as you mention converting this to binary yields 6 bits per ply, for a fraction of that. In other words you could naively encode every single game that's ever been played online, offline, or anywhere for a small fraction of the space on a regular large consumer HDD and still have plenty of space left for centuries of games to come. 20TB RAID kits go for less than $1k now a days. And you could load critical (likely to be accessed multiple times and/or concurrently) games (every game ever played by a very strong player, all games within the past year, etc) on a single SSD for rapid access.

Of course saving space is much better than not saving space, but the proposed method does not come for free. It involves some fairly complex heuristics. That means you're trading space for computational complexity. The former is practically free for things on this scale, but the latter very much is not. The article mentions that their decoder was only able to process around 1,111 games per second on average.

Lichess has been pushing around 40k players at some times and will presumably continue to grow. Performance this low on a critical and invokable task also seems to expose a clear denial-of-service vector. And adding new servers is vastly more expensive than adding some new hard disks. By contrast encoding and decoding games in UCI is practically free.

So what is the motivation here?
Doesn’t that destroy your SEO? I was warned 6+ years ago never to do that, but can’t recall the technical reason.
I'm not sure how angular works and pretty noob with Vue but IIRC yeah Vue works in a way that it modifies the existing template, so indeed I agree that's a recipe for disaster in this case.

With React (at least the way I use it in those cases) is that my main Rails template only renders an empty div container with props for React to render in it. So my full rendering is handled by React, so there is no mix up between Rails and React with data/rendering.
Sounds good on my speakers
Not many computers about from 1910s to 1930s! :) (apart from mechanical ones used for e.g. artillery)

My guess is basic lines being drawn on a physical map using observations spaced over time, and then humans trying to spot the pattern. I think these sort of sound mirrors are fairly directional, so with a bunch pointing in various slightly different directions you might be able to find the "sweet spot" and at least get an idea of where the enemy is, even if it is not precise.

From my own personal half-forgotten memories of seeing these as a kid in the 90s, they always seemed to be aligned with the coast, e.g. facing directly out to sea, not at an angle. This I guess would get you a lot of subtlety different directions to take a sounding from.

Very interesting.
Wait till they start asking for tips for pilots as a percentage of your airfare. And charge them up front. No tips? An extra turbulent, puke-your-guts-out flight for you!
Agree about anecdote, but you're off about the X. Apple discontinued the X, so if someone wants a cheaper phone in the X form factor, they're getting the XR. It's unusual for them to discontinue a model after just one year but the X was an anomaly in a lot of ways.
Well, I wasn't going to fly Frontier anyway, but now I'm putting them with United in the "actively avoid" bucket.

What bullshit. We need less tipping, not more.

Employers: it is YOUR job to pay your employees an acceptable wage, not mine. If you need to provide some monetary incentive for employees to do their job (beyond their salary), then use commissions, not tips.
why would their reason have to be noble? Human motivations can be complex.
Try resetting it or add an alternate face while it's in the cradle. Mine unlocks from pretty far away.
This has been a pet peeve of mine for the past two years now.

There are points where Cocoa development feels like reverse engineering a framework to figure out things that shouldn't be an issue. On top of that, an often undiscussed point is that _so much documentation_ for this stuff suffers from link rot, or is buried in old forums, or is buried in Apple's own forums that login-wall you from a Google search. There are weird things that are buried in release notes that are not mentioned anywhere else - e.g, taking over the scroll event on some scrollviews will actually completely disable smooth scrolling.

Every time I see someone out there argue about why Electron (yeah, I'm going here, hold the eye rolls until the end) shouldn't be winning, I point to this issue. Nobody knows how to write these apps except the old-school crowd, who tend to sit on Twitter and insist on keeping up this idea that "it's straightforward!". It's a massive issue, one that I've had confirmed to me _by Apple engineers in the interview track_.

I guarantee you that the replies to this will be some Apple devotees who refuse to believe this is an issue.
Dementia May Never Improve, but Many Patients Can Still Learn
Hi all
I'm gathering a lot of valid information. Looking forward to learn more from you all.
BA has "golden tickets" they give to the top tier rewards customers, which you can then hand to any member of BA staff that has made a positive impact for you.

They don't get cash for it, but I understand it goes in their file.

Ironically, I had my golden tickets go unused as most BA staff I've flown with have been average at best for the past few years, even when sitting in business / first.
I neither work on Alexa nor on Google Assistant. But based on my experience, going from 99% accuracy to 99.9% would require much more data than 0.9%. Same with adding each subsequent "9".

And the perceived quality difference between 99% accuracy and 99.99% accuracy is much much bigger.
I've got terrible eyes, and I've also used my camera phone to zoom in on tiny serial numbers. Sometimes it's enough to use the built-in zoom for magnification; sometimes I actually snap a pic and zoom it after.

I've got a desk in a co-working space with a locking cabinet underneath that has a godawful (three-wheel, not dial) combination lock that is impossible to read in low light. Worse, the dials are chrome so shining a light on it produces specular highlights that make it even harder to distinguish the numbers. I regularly have to snap a photo of the lock, zoom in, and adjust the wheels based on the photo.

Are there any good, free hosted options for blogs about programming?
I wonder if the same thing is happening to Apple as happened to Disney - the visionary founder died, and the company slowly lost its way and became a vehicle for corporate profiteering while resting on the laurels of the visionary's pre-existing ideas.
It is Frontier after all. I'm pretty surprised they haven't installed coin operated toilets yet.
If you are willing to spend $2.99 on a can of soda do you really need to complain about a $0.50 tip which you don't even need to give?

That isn't really what happens though. For the people who are still working, they get paid retroactively once they pass a budget. So they live on savings or borrow money for a while, which is no fun for them but is what actually happens, and then replace most of that money when they get the back-pay. The actual loss is what they lose in interest over that period of time, which is a small fraction of the total.

For the workers who are actually sent home and correspondingly never get paid, that means the government still has the money it would have had to pay them. So either it goes back to the taxpayer (in theory) or more likely they find some other way to spend it. Either way it goes back into the economy again.

So it's not about the money.

There are some other issues though. One is you lose whatever value the government employees were providing. Though this is mostly the broken window fallacy. If you give someone a month off, they may still do something productive with it -- work a temporary job, catch up on home repairs, take a vacation or attend a conference etc. Whether or how much this is less or more productive overall than their government work is a case by case determination, but it's not as if typical government work is renowned for its efficiency.

Another issue is that if it extends for too long, the furloughed employees will find other work permanently. That can be a problem if you only have to turn around and pay recruitment and training costs to replace them again. On the other hand, it may actually help to thin the herd -- it's a lot easier to reduce or eliminate inefficient programs after some or all of the people who normally lobby to keep their jobs are already gone.

Ah, well, the nice thing about the current system in the USA is that nobody will stop you from forming a commune. If things were flipped around, with the government being socialist, you couldn't escape that.

No, it isn't perfect. In either case there would be a national government demanding taxes and conscription and not assaulting people, but in your case this is a very minor issue because you're wanting the more-shared option.

Good luck.
Are you sure you can't do getUserMedia on localhost? On Chrome at least it overrides localhost to be considered a secure URL, so service workers etc function fine over HTTP.

With this particular image, there's virtually no DO configuration (just standard size / region settings which have smart defaults IIRC). You do have to SSH in, but the new Ghost 2.0 CLI handles updating Ghost much more smoothly than in the past. I've been happy with it personally.

The intent was there would be several microphones that could be triangulated. With a hut full of human computers and sets of trig tables presumably.

The chap mentioned here, Tucke, was active in developing sound artillery ranging, which survived well after WW2. Artillery didn't have the speed issues that killed off sound mirrors before they ever really got going.

Watson Watt and his team fortunately gave us workable radar with height and direction finding by war's outbreak. Just.
I switched our company to google - I’m someone heavily in the google ecosystem and not supported by google.

Alexa does support me even though I don’t pay them for email. This is just one point, but illustrates the point.

Google has better tech, but weird product delivery approach. And I moved to AWS from google compute for a similar set of reasons.
This answer is vastly underrated. Sometimes, a simple question begets a simple answer. Especially
when asked in earnest. We can assume it’s a troll, but someone out there asking this, is not.

I know there are people with an agenda who aren’t interested in an answer, and will say whatever to poison the water. But I honestly believe that, at least in their sphere of influence , they captured well meaning people who just happen to be getting a very one sided perspective on it all. Sure, they too might not always seem honestly asking , but they are human and we are tribal creatures. We can’t expect everyone to constantly question their friends.

But deep down inside , perhaps some people aren’t as sure as they pretend to be. Perhaps they are honestly asking, somewhere, deep down. And if they are , they’re not asking for facts. They’re asking for trust. Is it, really, real?

Showering people in facts doesn’t always help. Sometimes, we just need to look across the divide and say: Yes. Yes, it really, really, is real. Please take our word for it. This is serious. We beg of you. And we need your help.

At least, that’s my theory.
I don't feel my safety is assured when I'm asked to stow my laptop during takeoff. I mostly feel annoyed. Likewise when I have to find a place to stow the bag at my feet simply because I'm in a row without any seats in front of me.

In my opinion, the "safety" provided by flight attendants is rather dramatically overstated. But I'm happy to be told differently; please educate me if you believe the attendants meaningfully increase the safety of the modal passenger's flight.

In any case, I'm absolutely never going to tip a flight attendant. What a regressive policy.
Nissan Showcases Tech That 'Sees' Around Corners
They’re only going to design the building to be strong enough to withstand the loads it needs to bear, plus a standard safety factor. If they use a stronger material, they’ll use less of it so that the resulting strength is the same.

I can understand being skeptical of decay, fire resistance, sound deafening, or other factors like that, but being worried about the strength makes no sense.
FWIW, I live in a brick and concrete building and hear all the things you mentioned, sometimes not just from immediately adjacent units, but also often units two or three floors away in some cases, e.g. loud parties or drilling/hammering (the rigid structure conducts the sound around the building I think - kinda like tapping on a metal pole or rail: doesn't matter where you put your ear on the pole you still hear the noise from the tapping)

Google works very simply on the inside: you get rewarded for launching _new_ impressive stuff. You rarely if ever get rewarded for fixing old and busted _existing_ stuff.

Whether the newly launched stuff is suitable for the user is a tertiary concern. So yeah, no disagreement there, Google is not very user-focused, and has never been. But they're so far ahead technologically that in a lot of cases I'm willing to forgive them their ADHD.

Bought and returned iPhone XS...

- It lacks a home button

- It lacks Touch ID which unlocks your phone instantly before meeting your face (need this when sitting idle in traffic). Face ID takes longer.. that's bad UX and possibly dangerous UX which probably has caused some dummies (many out there) to have accidents.

- It's too big ... i can not text with one hand as Ive done with my 8 and all models before.
We also have higher life expectancy rates and lower infant mortality. No need to go tin foil hat philosophical about all things scary and ‘modern’, it paints a black and white view of the world, progress, and the general concept of change.
That depends on whether the user had enough foresight to check on XDA whether the phone they're going to purchase is supported on XDA. Not all devices are, and most cheaper ones definitely aren't.
funny how at the end he says "but that's ancient history, it doesn't really matter any more". Something about history repeating...
And people who would do that are a tiny rounding error in comparison to the general market.

For 99%+ of the general market, if the update is not available by clicking update in their phone, it doesn't exist and end of support is when the carrier/OEM stops releasing them.

Well, Clojure doesn't have programmable reader macros either way.

As long as you're not dead set on specific characters you could do:

(defun extract-from-objc (obj)
(objc-typecase
obj
(%@NSDate [[[[%@NSISO8601DateFormatter @(alloc)]
@(init)]
@(stringFromDate:.) :pointer obj]
@(UTF8String)]s)
(%@NSString [obj @(UTF8String)]s)
(%@NSNumber (parse-number:parse-number
(objc-runtime:.:extract-nsstring
[obj @(stringValue)])))
(%@NSArray (map-nsarray #'extract-from-objc obj))
(%@NSDictionary (fw.lu:alist-string-hash-table
(pairlis (map-nsarray #'extract-from-objc [obj @(allKeys)])
(map-nsarray #'extract-from-objc [obj @(allValues)]))))
(t (or (funcall-some (cdr (objc-pick-by-type obj *objc-extractors*))
obj)
obj))))

The reason I say they're good for DSLs is exactly for re-purposing to have a special meaning.
Yes, nowhere close to being as powerful as reader macros.
But the nice part is everyone can and knows how to work with these primitives.

I do wish we had reader macros like CL, but I'd still totally want the built-in [] and {}.
