No stack I advocate in particular. I'm trying to say that the web is a wonderful platform and I hope it will stay for a very-very long time.

For the client side ML libraries, I don't think it makes sense to use it for tracking. You can already extract information with a high accuracy.

Tracking is a natural consequence of money flowing into the industry and tracking can be achieved with high accuracy. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but at least we can do something about it.

It might just be me, but it feels like that comment indirectly addresses losing one's religious beliefs as they get older. There's probably too many confounding factors, but I've been curious if there are any noticeable differences in depression frequency amongst irreligious folks that had religious upbringing. It seems it's something that is difficult for people to talk about or study.
Several companies have written their own implementation of datacenter automation, but it would be great if you published an open source framework that people could contribute to. What hardware do you plan to support? Which devices have you already automated?

We stand up servers, switches and routers fully automated, just like VM's, but I doubt we could transplant our code easily into another company.

By including features in the manual. The alternative is that they don't, people rely on the features, they change the features without notifying anyone, and when shit goes wrong they can say "It wasn't documented: shouldn't do that".

The real question here is how commonly this feature was used. If it was common, then not putting it in the manual is a big problem!
Ideally the US Postal Service could offer a service like this, then it wouldn't require any extra steps.
Part of what we do to balance this out is to have the team make some of those third party packages; the regex crate is a good example of that. It’s still maintained by the team even if it’s not in the standard library itself.
That said, we had no issues with the John Deere trackers we had. Same with IH, for that matter.

> I think the main catalyst to increased anti-trust scrunity will be a mind shift away from the "consumer welfare" view of anti-trust.

I don't think it even requires that. If we're paying for these services with our information and attention, more sophisticated tracking and increased data collection are a form of price increase. The anti-trust argument only requires that put a price tag on the data collected or inferred by Google/Facebook and it becomes obvious that "prices" have been going up for years because of monopoly power.
Its still unbelievable to me how much these phones cost. It feels like a bubble itself, but a bubble of consumer spending. Someone tell me I'm wrong, but it feels like eventually people will realize that they don't need the newest phone to check facebook and instagram.

I think we've reached the point where consumers no longer need a "faster" computer (at home or in their hands), but we've been trained over the last 30 years to just think newer=faster and faster=better.

I had a Galaxy S4 that I bought in 2013 that I was still using until a few months ago. The main reason why I bought a new phone was I wanted to change networks, as the S4 was locked into the sprint network. If the S4 would work on any network, I would probably be able to use it until both my batteries had degraded enough to affect functionality. Who knows, that could have been another 2-4 years.

So come up with another way, maybe rate limit changing an image's source? Rate limit creating new, visible, image nodes? Just because ad pushers will try to work around something doesn't mean we should just give up. At some point the worsening user experience will negatively impact a site's reputation and people's willingness to view/use it.

The other assumption here is that the bad actors are actually ad pushers. In fact somewhat reputable news sites like SFGate often push auto playing videos that take a few seconds to stop/close. The likelihood of SFGate, WaPo, or the BBC going to such lengths to display videos seems low — especially since the more aggressive solutions require more bandwidth.
Windows also had the equivalent to HIG, and it was just as rigorous as Apple's in many cases, especially by Vista. Take a look at this:

Oh, great. More product to sterilize the soil and reduce microbiome. I've had farmers tell me that they wanted a more accurate free-carbon soil test because it was indicative of microbiome activity, and by extension indicative of healthy soil. Farmers know the importance of active microbiome in the soil and I suspect they won't want to kill it off as it will further increase the burden of farmers to overfertilize.

Unfortunately, some insecure developers sign up to be interviewers precisely to feel superiority and power over interviewees. I've both worked with and been interviewed by some of these people - they seem particularly prominent in the valley. Anecdotally, Google was the worst of the big tech companies with cocky, condescending interviewers that came in wearing Ivy league sweaters. By contrast, all of my interviews at mid-level tech companies were equally difficult technically, but much more pleasant and engaging.
Hatari was also the starting point for "Previous", the NeXT Computer emulator, and some code has been submitted and included from that project for 68030/040 MMU functionality.
This is a great suggestion that closely aligns with my own thoughts and experiences with technical interviews.

I've had some recent experience with technical interviews, and my first big takeaway was that the current interview process is broken largely because it's too common for the interview to never surface the _strengths_ of a candidate, and instead only to highlight their weaknesses. For every candidate, there is literally an infinite number of things they do not know. Surfacing those deficiencies has no purpose or value unless those weaknesses are _directly_ relevant to the job role–which is hardly ever the case when talking about DS&A questions.

The second lesson I learned is that interviewers need more training because there is a vast difference between good and bad interviewers–and almost all of it comes down to communication skills. If we don't finish a warm-up problem because it takes me 30 minutes to decode and understand the question that the interviewer is trying to ask...that's a problem.

Don't be ridiculous. The Galapagos are on the equator.
I'm assuming you know already the difference between an inference and a fact.
For the past several years I've become deeply involved in interviewing at my company (hint: it's big and is really good at things like search and ads). I've done hundreds of technical interviews here, and I also teach a class to train employees how to interview. I'm also involved in evaluating candidates who have gone through the interview process.

In my position, I get the occasion to read a ton of assessments written by interviewers. Some of the most striking assessments are the ones where the interviewer is cock-sure that they completely nailed the candidate's utter and complete incompetence. It's usually an interviewer who's been asking the same question dozens of times over a year or more. They've seen every variation of performance on the question, and they've completely forgotten what it was like for them when they first encountered a question like that.

It's total lack of empathy at that point, and if the candidate doesn't exude near-perfect interviewing brilliance on that specific question, the interviewer judges them as essentially worthless. Interviewers like that sometimes even get snarky and rather unprofessional in their writeup, "Finally, time ran out, mercifully ending both my and the candidate's misery."

If I were to diagnose one of the causes of this phenomenon, I'd say it is bias. The interviewer best remembers the candidates who performed exceptionally well on their question, triggering the availability heuristic.

There are tactics that I think can be effective to bust those biases. One might be to put an upper limit on the number of times an interviewer is allowed to ask any given question. Once they've asked maybe 20 or 30 candidates the same question, it's spent. They have to move on to something substantially different.

There are some other experiments I'd like to run. One of them is to have interviewers go through a one-hour interview themselves for every 50 or so interviews they give. Maybe match up an interviewer who has a track record of being especially harsh on candidates for not giving a flawless performance on the question they've been asking for a while. The idea is to see if we can't bubble up some empathy.

My "own interests" are to be a good example to my kids, so they themselves don't become selfish people. There's a dichotomy here, self interest working side by side with interests for others. You simply cannot help others if you don't do what is right for yourself.

The trick is to find the things that are right for both/multiple parties, not _only_ yourself. There's possibly no such things a pure selflessness. Even an act of giving provides a benefit to the giver, even if it's only an emotional one.

And, I am allowed to disregard everyone else's opinions, it's a fundamental right of every living being.

More importantly, if we only rely (or somehow over value) science instead of common sense, then all it takes is another counter argument from "science" to change our minds. This is being blown around by the wind instead of thinking for yourself.
Nothing wrong with using the hacker mentality to carry out a victimless crime. I don't think anyone's going to cry about the NFL losing out on the cost of 1 ticket for a game where so many millions are being flung around.

That's so cool. There's a few old programs I'd love to see but since it's been over 30 years I can't recall their names.

- A music composer that took advantage of the MIDI ports. Connecting the software to synths etc would allow the Atari ST to not only control the synth, but also to record the music in note form as it was played.

- A BASIC interpreting environment. Noteworthy for no reason other than this was the place where I wrote my first program ever.

- A desktop publishing application with similar functions to the early Pagemaker.

For the French, I don't know, but you could argue that it would improve the French economy I suppose.

However, for programmers, I don't see the benefit: programmers do not have any trouble these days finding jobs, and in fact are in high demand regardless of how they dress. Dressing more "professionally" doesn't seem like it would actually help them any, so why bother?
That's what I thought at first, but after reading the description of the publication in question, it isn't really a science publication. It's more of an op-ed specifically designed to promote things that are definitely not science in a manner that makes them look like they are.

I think a dynamic scripting language is a poor choice for software that has non-trivial performance needs. The fact that so many people complain about the speed and memory performance of Electron apps is a testament to this. I remember for a long time also that Atom couldn’t open a file larger than 2MB before crashing.

I don’t appreciate you telling me what I think either.
While true, I think cold temperatures might be the more applicable scenario. When the batteries are cold, the amount of power you can extract is limited, as is the amount of power you can inject by regen braking. This is one factor that leads to crappy range in cold climates.

Capacitors can smooth out the power curve - need 1000 amps of current for 4 seconds? No problem, that comes from the capacitors and the battery only sees a draw of 200 amps. Need to regen 600 amps for 15 seconds? No problem, dump that into the capacitors and recharge the batteries at 50 amps for the next minute.

Knowing Tesla, they will use capacitors to offer both; a super-plaid mode that can supply 1800 amps momentarily, as well as better cold weather performance.

Are assignment expressions the only linguistic change?

For years,I've been holding my breath in Python for sum types, totality checking, and an enforced, complete type system -- one where you can say "this should be a list of lists of integers" and it won't let you put any other kind of thing there.

(Yes, there are external typing solutions like PyPy, but last I checked they did not offer complete type systems (you could specify that something is a list, but not that it's a list of ints), nor did they permit totality checking (so if type X is a sum type with two constructors X1 and X2, and f is a function that takes an X as input, and you forgot to define what happens if f is given an X2, it would not know to complain that you hadn't covered all possibilities).

I'd love a golf cart type car but the days I need it most it's -10C or -20C (Think around zero freedom degrees) and I don't trust these manufacturers to do the kind of winter testing I'm expecting. If any plastics give up, or battery thermals don't at least allow the same kind of range-fraction a Leaf or Model3 does in (really) cold weather, it's not going to work. Even my french petrol car is absolutely terrible in winter compared to a German or Swedish. Drive a few miles through slosh, leave the car out over night, then the brake calipers seize (No handbrake applied). My VW is excellent in comparison with a folding out rear view camera for example, that works even when ice covered (Tesla should take a note).

This is the problem with cars: you can't get one for just 3 seasons.
