Great article.

But one detail seems to be wrong:

It says "I had to do something, so I went out on to the balcony. I could see the fire on __my left hand side__, it was heavy and I realised that if it reached my room I wasn't going to survive."

The provided image circles the balcony on the right hand side of the fire, so it would have been either his right hand side where he saw the fire, the image has been mirrored, or BBC just circled the wrong balcony: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p06ynx4y.jpg
I've been using 2 x 27" 1440x2560 (Dell U2715H) for 2 years now. (Dell monitors are typically a pretty safe purchase in this respect as all the mid range ones seem to come with rotating stand.) I've been very happy with this setup, and I've no intention of changing. It's a good aspect ratio for editing text and viewing PDFs and whatnot, and makes very efficient use of desk space. My 2 portrait monitors are only about 12 cm wider than one landscape one.

I also don't understand why more people don't use it - but perhaps people try it out with a 1080p monitor, find it a bit cramped, and decide against it. (I used 1200x1920 monitors for a while, and the screens always felt a bit too narrow even with that. A lot of programs and sites seem to assume you've got a monitor that's at least 1280 pixels wide, so you end up with extra scroll bars, cramped UI, or stuff that's simply inaccessible.)
Healthcare and unemployment act more like insurance than a service though I don't entirely disagree I just think they're not great comparisons.

> Most tenants do not have "audit trail" requirements in their contracts and their existing physical locks don't provide one.

No, but the contract was signed at a time when physical locks were the only norm and the security and safety characteristics of a physical lock can be considered to be implied by that contract.

[For example a typical rental contract does not say "the landlord will maintain a working and suitable lock on the front door" but clearly a landlord would nevertheless be in breach of contract if the lock needed replacing due to wear and tear and the landlord refused to fix it]

This wouldn't rule out installing a smart lock in the future, but only if the security and safety characteristics, as implied by the contract, are not regressed by doing so.

A remote unlock facility wasn't agreed by the tenant, so it's reasonable to ask for an audit trail requirement in this case as previously the landlord (or their agent) would have had to be physically present, so their memory would serve as an audit trail.

I think that the perspective that [the addition of] a remote unlock facility without an audit trail compromises the security and safety of a physical lock and thus breaks the implied contract is a perfectly reasonable argument, especially given the prevalence of general industry failure (known vulnerabilities in specific models) in this area.

Note I use the phrase "naive implementation" and was never talking about nor clamoring for "just use HTTPS".

The real discussion is not "blindly use HTTPS, or leave it like it is", for me the real interesting question is: can we design a package distribution system that preserves privacy against nation state level actors? can we virtually force those to attack the ATP servers themselves? could we use oblivious transfer ? could we design a fresh minimalist onion router (as opposed to bloated TOR) for package distribution?
"C with classes" was never any sort of "source code preprocessor", except in the sense that every compiler is.

From day 1 it was a full compiler that happened to generate C at the back end. At the time this was novel, and was easier for people to understand as if it were a preprocessor like RATFOR. Nowadays, generating C is an extremely familiar approach to bootstrapping a new language, and nobody pretends your compiler is "just a preprocessor". (Also, nowadays, you might better generate LLVM. But that option is new.)

So, saying "C with Classes was a preprocessor" amounts to simple slander.

I think alot of it comes down to the fact that the internet, and frontend-development (web development mostly) is relatively new. And as with anything new, the community is just trying everything they can to make it work until something eventually sticks.

As someone who has done this for a while, I remember how difficult it was to try and build a UI using flash, then later with just html and jQuery, and now with modern libraries like React. So while it seems like every year there is a new "better" way to do something, but that is mostly because is is getting better and easier over time.

Author _RECINDS_ GPL (YES HE CAN DO THIS) from “GeekFeminists”
I have been amazed at how many "data science" interview questions can be answered with "look it up in the hash table" or "look it up in the literature".

That last one is a real problem-solving strategy, I can't tell you exactly how to balance a Red-Black tree but I know what a Red-Black tree is and where to look up the algorithm for balancing it and I think that's good enough.

One of the master skills for interviewing is "don't choke." Often good people will make mistakes under the pressure of interviewing and will drop out.

When it comes to a practical session there is the same issue that some good people will choke. Just the sample of who chokes in which environment when is different.

Issues like this turn up in all cases where people try to measure merit. For instance, it is known that some low-SES (socioeconomic status) people will choke on standardized tests like the SAT or IQ tests. It is also known that some high-SES people are as dumb as posts and will have that revealed by standardized tests which are harder to bribe or bullshit.

The hostility towards testing is explained by the combination of those two groups: primarily the Emperor doesn't want you to see they have no clothes, but people have sympathy for poor people.

>p46 "As long as the project continues to honor the terms of the licenses under which it recieved contributions, the licenses continue in effect. There is one important caveat: Even a perpetual license can be revoked. See the discussion of bare licenses and contracts in Chapter 4"
--Lawrence Rosen

>p56 "A third problem with bare licenses is that they may be revocable by the licensor. Specifically, /a license not coupled with an interest may be revoked./ The term /interest/ in this context usually means the payment of some royalty or license fee, but there are other more complicated ways to satisfy the interest requirement. For example, a licensee can demonstrate that he or she has paid some consideration-a contract law term not found in copyright or patent law-in order to avoid revocation. Or a licensee may claim that he or she relied on the software licensed under an open source license and now is dependent upon that software, but this contract law concept, called promissory estoppel, is both difficult to prove and unreliable in court tests. (The concepts of /consideration/ and /promissory estoppel/ are explained more fully in the next section.) Unless the courts allow us to apply these contract law principles to a license, we are faced with a bare license that is revocable.
--Lawrence Rosen

>p278 "Notice that in a copyright dispute over a bare license, the plaintiff will almost certainly be the copyright owner. If a licensee were foolish enough to sue to enforce the terms and conditions of the license, the licensor can simply revoke the bare license, thus ending the dispute. Remeber that a bare license in the absence of an interest is revocable."

I don't think facebook is very used in Iran, at least it was blocked in 2015.

I live and work in a suburb of NYC...and effectively MUST drive everywhere...and that sucks. I would happily pay more taxes IF they were devoted to supporting and upgrading and growing any/all public transit; and of course bringing any cost down to users/citizens. (I would much rather be able to take public transit myself to work instead of driving.)
Whatever I'm looking at when writing I want it centered on the screen. More screens don't help since I don't want to twist my head for extended periods of time. A bigger screen would probablåy have the same effect. When I have 2 screens all I do with my second one is place things I don't care about on it, such as a mail client. It could just as well sit behind my active window.

My ideal solution is to just get nice quality screen that's big enough and has a decent DPI for its size. E.g. 27" 1440 or 32" 4k is nice for unscaled (100%) content.

For clarity on my thought process: I had interpreted lisper’s original comment as “Religions aren’t true because no afterlife exists.” After what lisper’s said in responses, I see that their actual argument is “Religions aren’t true because no afterlife exists because no deity exists.” The claim about no deity existing had been assumed implicitly in their original post. I hadn’t thought that it would be taken as a given, since we were discussing the truth value of religion. I’m now satisfied with the chain of logic now being strong; it just requires assuming the given that no deity exists.

Most IDEs handle dual screens handle multiple screens very well, usually by supporting multiple windows and allowing tabs/panels to be detached and moved between them.

If not, it's a flaw of the IDE not the monitor setup.
The birthrate dropping is a good thing. This happens to countries that are seeing rising levels in education and security. The Saudi's are not poor or uneducated; great.

It does create a big baby boom problem. They have a big generation that is going to grow old relatively healthy (unlike earlier generations) and wealthy. They are going to be dependent on a new generation that is much smaller and currently struggling with unemployment. So, the good news is that there should be plenty to do for these people when their parents retire. The bad news of course is that at point the saudi's will have some economic issues of having to produce more with less people, while facing issues with their oil revenue dropping.

Other issues that are affecting them are the fact that their cities are becoming inhabitable due to rising temperatures. Regular temperatures above 50 degrees are not very sustainable. They are apparently already planning to create some new cities to address this.

The political situation is of course the big topic. The royal family's power is rooted in oil money. As that dries up, the geo-political landscape in the region will start shifting. There's no shortage of countries in the region with similar issues and competing agendas to address their issues. E.g. Iran and Saudi Arabia is a war waiting to happen. The proxy wars have been going on for decades with the US and Europe having played no small role in the history of both countries. Weapon exports to the Saudi's and other countries in the region are substantial.
Not in this case, just read the tl;dr in the article (you don't even need to read the whole article).
This isn't true at all. Luxury hotels, most especially managed or chain brands are some of the safest places in third-world countries.

The odds of buglary, petty crimes and those vices you listed happening is close to zero. This is the reason why they are attractive to expats and high-end clients.

They have the best security and are usually located in prime areas making them less susceptible to some of those claims you made.

And they also have a brand to protect. Except they are very expensive relative to the cost of living of those countries but their target market is foreigners, short-stay expats and government delegations so they still get patronized.

Agree completely. Anyone who actually has kids and has tried to arrange care for them will know that it's a lot more complicated than just putting up an ad and waiting for the perfect nanny to descend from the clouds on an umbrella.

You can pay someone to keep them nourished, pick them up from school, read them stories, and tuck them in at night. This person might even care deeply about their well-being. But there's little substitute for a parent or close family member when it comes to instilling values, managing discipline, modelling compassion while still maintaining firmness. These things are hard to measure, and the fruits of the labour that goes into them won't show until years later, which is why the person doing this work needs to be someone with a long term commitment to the project.

Do any smart locks actually do that? That just seems negligent from the manufacturer. To access my apartment building I need to go through two magnetically locked doors, so if the power is off they are off, but I assume that's for safety reasons so you can easily get out in an emergency. I was under the impression smart locks just exposed the normal locking mechanism on the inside.

Maybe you are the outlier.
If your goal is to be able to step it in the debugger and follow what is going on, then it is definitely still a debug build.

If you want sanitization instead of stepping through the debugger, use that.

The people who are best at debugging avoid debuggers entirely, and use logging statements inserted in release-built code, and little proofs. It is hard to persuade people who don't think that way, but it is the only route to mastery.

Yeah, that's a problem with petitions in general; they're really only useful for demonstrating _some_ minimum level of support or public interest in a particular issue.

They can't be used to gauge public opinion on anything remotely controversial, both because they're heavily influenced by selection bias and because it's much harder to express opposition to a petition than it is to express support.
A good solution to that is to google the link to the video and often times you may find a site that listed the title of the video before linking to it.
