That sounds rude...

I am assuming that a "touch typer" has her fingers on the keyboard most of the time, usually on the home row. In particular, her hands will be covering most of the keyboard. Also, even if the keyboard shows something interesting, always switching your view up- and downwards is bad ergonomics and context-switching. Thus showing that information on the screen like which-key is more useful than having to lift up your hands, read what is written on your keyboard, put you hands down again, press the now covered keys.

True! Would a license or plate on the bike have changed that?
and no one is willing to say so.

Except most engineers are perfectly willing to say so in my experience but management decides to ignore them or force them to say a made up number promising falsely not to hold them to it. Even worse what happens very often is an engineer would give an estimate and then a manager would "bully" it down to a lower number.

On the reverse of course it makes sense to have estimates otherwise how should managers or product people decide what should be done next?

A big part of the issue is we don't have good knowledge how to estimate work. It's not a skill that is heavily invested in and is wrongly assumed as an inherent ability.
> I'm sorry it inconveniences you, but our society exists because we're willing to be slightly inconvenienced by our neighbors (especially those with different preferences than us) in exchange for certain benefits.

There's a certain amount of trading inconveniences that goes on in life. Think about an apartment building--maybe the guy in 4B has a dog that barks occasionally, the couple in 7D throws a big party twice a year, the woman in 2F hasn't bothered anyone in two years but back then she threw up all over the elevator and didn't clean it up, and so on. There's no explicit accounting but there's a rough justice. When that gets too far out of balance people get justifiably angry.

If you routinely drive in Manhattan and each time inconvenience thousands of people, how can you ever hope to balance those books?
Reading the issue it looks like Poettering confidently replies that these aren't valid user names, but then when he's challenged to defend that he tries to walk it back to being just not a good idea. So that's how it happens. People make unwarranted assumptions.

I agree absolutely. It's similar to previous companies I've worked at that do phishing test emails for all their employees (usually at 9am on a Monday). There's little evidence it works, it is security theater and generally harms productivity. Knowing when not to bother people about security can be really helpful.
> Maybe we mean different things with the word, sharing

Pretty much this. The BSD community doesn't see code being used in proprietary solutions as "ripped off".
You could think of FIDO Security Keys as having private keys, and in a sense they do, but you're more likely to mislead yourself if you think of them this way. Keys are tied up with identity, and one thing FIDO tokens deliberately aren't designed to do is have an identity.

The trick WebAuthn/U2F do is equivalent to if somehow, magically, the device could have an effectively infinite number of private keys, not just one, or one per site, but one for every enrollment on a site. If Alice and Bob share the same FIDO key for, say, Facebook, the only way even Facebook itself could discover this is to ask Alice's key to authenticate as Bob which will work. Every attempt at such a guess requires a human interaction (button press) and risks discovery. So probably no one will ever try.
True -- fixed. Thanks.
> We have millions of black people incarcerated

Give how important this subject is, it's important to not invent facts.

Your core statement is false and off by at least four fold. There are roughly half a million black people in prison at all levels, not millions. That destroys your setup by debunking the extreme exaggeration. However given it is an important subject, we shouldn't stop there, let's examine the situation.

There are around 1.2m-1.3m people in state prisons, 500k-600k in local jails and 200k in federal prisons. Roughly 1.9-2.1m total across all jails and prisons at all levels. Several hundred thousand of those people are processing through the system, awaiting trial, etc. at any given time.

Roughly one million of those people are there due to rape / sexual assault, murder, assault or robbery.

As of 2016, 339,000 hispanics were sentenced to either federal or state prison; 439,000 whites; 486,000 blacks. That's from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (no figures for local jails). Over the last decade black people saw a decline of roughly 120k people in prison at those levels, white people saw a decline of about 60-70k, hispanic figures were steady.

Can you explain what part of society forces people to rape and murder - whether hispanic, white, or black? I grew up poor, most of the people I knew growing up were relatively poor or very poor, many with broken homes and absent parents, I'd like an education on this. I never saw anything related to social oppression forcing people to rape and murder.

There are a lot of societies with enormous oppression, corruption and poverty, which lack high murder rates and high violent crime rates. China is one example of that and there are several others in Asia. Eastern Europe has also had many examples of that over the last several decades.

Russia has a murder rate about ~8-12x worse than China along with far higher violent crime rates, despite the two countries being at similar levels economically per capita and both having oppressive political systems. What's the difference? Russia has a much worse culture of tolerating and encouraging violence and murder.

I've known a lot of poor people, the only difference I've ever seen between poor people that were violent and poor people that were not, is culture and it was always a choice.
Curious to see how this goes. IANAL, but wondering why it's taken 3-4 years for this claim to surface? Is there a statute of limitations on IP infringement?

If I'm Ford, I surely would have triple checked every IP angle before putting a new technology in every single vehicle I make. So I'm just guessing that there was some original arrangement which now looks inadequate for the inventors. That or Ford's lawyers messed up in a big way. Just speculating of course.

Usually I want all tabs to be closed when closing Firefox. Sometimes though I don't, and then I do ctrl+alt+esc and click onto Firefox. Works in X11 at least. It will kill the process and the next time Firefox starts it'll recover the closed tabs because it thought it crashed or something.
Having it clear not just in your own head, but your entire team's head what an event is, quite important, especially to keep in mind what happens when you "play back" a log. Do transactional emails get sent out again? Do upstream services record the playback as duplicate events? How are transactions handled? What external state are you unknowingly depending on for that playback to produce the same result?
Las Vegas has some, but they seem to breakdown with any rain (like a lot of things in Las Vegas). It seems like the currently deployed tech would only work in a few locales.
The thing with the grazing animals is that you want to limit their numbers heavily . A few cows here and there is beneficial to butterflies etc. (personal observations). Economically sustainable ranches can't usually "waste" their land and the outcome is literally shit but whatever pays the bills. Keep in mind that just owning land is taxed in many (probably most) places.
I don’t know and I can’t explain it. If you mention a train to an American they will start talking about how far it is from Miami to Seattle as if that matters and despite the fact that Ohio is more densely populated than Spain. If you bring up walking someone will ask how you can walk home from the grocery store, apparently unaware of the fact that 95% of people bring home their food by foot. If you talk about biking Americans will wonder about rain and snow, as if nobody bikes in Netherlands and Finland. It’s a strange, willful ignorance that allows Americans to look around and say “what this town needs is a hyperloop.”
It can take a long time for a lawsuit to actually happen. There's a lot of ways to drag out negotiations over a patent and it can be a while before both parties can't come to an agreement, resulting in a suit being filed.
People with enough technical knowledge to know that they need a VPN to evade something like the Great Firewall, but not with enough technical knowledge to set it up manually.

They may have heard of so-and-so app, install it, and boom, it works. That's very appealing, especially if it's a custom protocol that is supposedly harder to detect.

Or maybe their grandkids have set it up for them, and don't want it to be any harder than it needs to be. Yada yada.

It's not really hard to come up with answers like this. The two options aren't "complete expert" and "blithering idiot".
This is how things are done at the Federal University I'm currently attending. I have filed a complaint against the university on the grounds that they're using Federal resources (the students' labor, whose place there is being paid by the government) to enrich a private, international corporation (Google).

This is wrong on so many levels.

There's no decision yet, and the process is still running.
It seems to be one of those things that you probably don't need. And when you do need it, it becomes obvious that you need it. Specifically, in my research, you really shouldn't use it until it becomes painfully necessary to horizontally scale writes.
We attribute self-awareness (or other attributes) based on the results of behavioral tests that we perform on the test subject. Assume, for the sake of the argument, that I built a machine that exhibits the same kind of self-awareness as an elephant. So it would recognize itself in a mirror test etc... So if it manages to pass all these tests, is it self-aware? According to Ernst Mach, two things that are indistinguishable by observation are actually equal.

This is essentially a part of the Chinese Room Argument: how can you draw a distinction between two things, when you cannot observe it?

I'm surprised she didn't use bitcoin or some other type of cryptocurrency. This is the exact type of scenario they are designed to address.

I am not a lawyer, but this 6th Circuit case might be relevant: Taubman v. Webfeats.

"Even if [the] use is commercial, it must still lead to a likelihood of confusion to be violative of the Lanham Act. 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1). In Planned Parenthood, the defendant used the plaintiff's trade name as a domain name, without the qualifying moniker 'sucks,' or any other such addendum to indicate that the plaintiff was not the proprietor of the website. In contrast, 'taubmansucks.com' removes any confusion as to source. We find no possibility of confusion and no Lanham Act violation."

Minimizing context switches has been my angle after I burnt out. I automate things that take me out of context and use every last feature of my IDE to make sure I don't have to alt tab all over the place. Terminal, database, docs and code is all in my IDE. It feels more like sitting down at a specialized workstation than a general computer and it keeps me focussed and in flow. Not only is that a less stressful state of mind to work from, it also means I ultimately spend less time in work mode and I can cleanly delineate work from not-work.

While we're on the topic of tracing, does anyone know an _easy to use_ (!) tool that would roughly mirror the functionality of Apple Instruments for user-space tracking? I know there's lttng-ust and TraceCompass, but using either (and especially TraceCompas) is worse than pulling teeth. To display a simple trace in a "piano roll" / Gantt chart view with TraceCompass one has to read an encyclopedia sized tutorial and fumble their way through obscure XML (!) files to create their own visualizations. Let's just say, ease of use did not seem to be the goal at all.

EventSourcing is not a Framework, but a concept.

The idea is to store not the current state of your app, but the transitions (events) that derive into the current state.

Think about how git stores your source code as a series of commits.

In theory it is a beautiful idea; in the real world, it is hard to implement.
Chrome is easy. Just hit X to close it normally, and then on re-launching:

menu -> history -> recently closed -> XX tabs

It will open all the tabs you had going when you closed.
I think the clearly wrong statement here is "Workstations were really the first networked computers."
Ya, I think that is part of the importance of separating out the effects that resulted from the command. If I want to benefit from the "state rewind" capabilities, to bring my DB back to a certain point in time, for example, I can simply play back the DB writes that occurred and perform those updates directly.

Otherwise, I would have to replay the commands, ensure that my application state for processing the commands is exactly the same as it was when it last processed those particular commands, ensure that all undesirable side effects are disabled, etc.
The simultaneous layoffs in many news outlets prove they lost access to a common source of funding, perhaps that source was something like Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act which recently expired.

Reform for only commercial property is what we're voting on in 2020. It'd be great for public services if that passed but housing will remain as fucked as ever. Empty lots will stay empty, entrenched wealthy homeowners will continue to organize against new housing, long time landlords will keep thier fat profit margins.

This disregards the strategy of actively predicting the risk of infringing a patent and maximizing profit even after damages are considered.

Your approach is the expectation. The reality is quite a bit darker.

Wasp are f*ckers who deserve no sympathy (not saying that they should not even exist, but they really don't need any sympathy), bees are the good guys. For example, wasps destroy bee colonies.
So they say they own a patent for dual port- and direct-injection? It will be interesting to see how it plays out; Ford is hardly the only company using the technique on their DI engines. I also wonder if it will pass a sniff test -- is using traditional port injection on a DI engine novel enough to be patented? I guess I can see where it might be, but what a low bar for innovation we have.

Crypto-Currency Events Across the Globe
The article seems pretty upfront about the fact that we are nowhere near a solid theory. One of many quotes to that effect: “ […] beginning to build the rudiments of a theory of neural networks.”

The main point seems to be why such a theory is highly desirable. To that end, it does a far better job than the somehat tired Feynman aphorism about good theories “giving us more than we give them”. Namely that the current state of the art of “intuition” and vast trial-and-error runs being somewhat embarrassing for a field so closely related to math and statistics.
I wouldn't count the highways. If you take the BQE to the Harlem River Drive to the George Washington, I'd call that fine.

I minimise the impact of unexpected context switches by keeping a running log what I am doing or should do next in a document for each project. It might seem like a waste of time but I can safely mentally let the whole current context go when I am interrupted for an urgent job and I don't have to keep a stack of contexts in my head at once. It is especially useful in getting back up to speed in a context that had to be ignored for a week or more.

I'd like to point out that U2F has been superseded by WebAuthn[0]. It's backwards compatible with U2F keys and doesn't require a bunch of JS since support is built into browsers[1]. Some hard/software combinations allow you to the platform native authenticators instead of an external key, such Chrome/Android biometrics, Chrome/Macbook Touch ID and Edge/Windows Hello biometrics. Besides 2FA it can also be used to build a passwordless login experience[2].
