It's a nice concept. But I don't see the necessity of this over writing and understanding HTML.

- What complexity are you actually making easier? I still need to know all the properties in order to set them to the right value.

- Why is this easy for beginners? You don't learn the basics of HTML (or XML, for that matter). All you learn is an abstraction of HTML.

- How is this improving readability? Nesting is still tab or space based. And syntax highlighting in almost all editors automatically focuses on the right parts.

At least to me it makes no sense to mix a "premium" product, i.e. extra virgin olive oil with sunflower oil, so - personally - I doubt that the 20% olive oil (provided there is actually 20% of olive oil) is actually extra virgin.

I find also queer that on the label of something with the name "Iberia" is depoicted what appears as an Italian (likely Tuscany) landscape.

And BTW is actually Tuscany, more precisely San Quirico d'Orcia:

I am using a programmable keyboard that I’ve set up with a Dvorak-based layout. Here: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/ENb6/latest/0

Games defaulting to WASD are fine as long as they allow changing the keybindings in the game.

I prefer that games do not try to detect keyboard layout because they’d probably get it wrong anyway.

DDG shows multiple results. The bing one is result number 4.

I think they include Bing results but augment it with their own spider.
The biggest problem with multiple repositories is to manage consistent versions (commits).

>freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences

Usually when I see that statement it’s to make the point that freedom of speech (in the first amendment sense) protects you from government consequences, but not societal consequences. The government won’t stop you from saying something offensive, but your country club can kick you out for saying it.

I agree with you that this sense doesn’t really apply here, though.
Yep, I totally agree with you. It's hard to summarise this stuff without leaving out important things :-) Possibly interestingly, I learned Japanese grammar when I taught a course on English grammar in Japanese (it was what I was getting paid to do... not necessarily what I thought was best for the students, but that's another story). I had to continuously find Japanese equivalents for English grammar. After I finished teaching that course, my Japanese language ability really increased a lot. I wish I had gotten my students to do what I did! Sometimes when teaching you learn at the expense of your first students...

This could be a huge opportunity. We have a web monoculture now. It's only going to get increasingly so over the next few years. Google will let the platform stagnate, as it has little to no reason to compete. It's time to come up with something better. Something designed for both documents and applications.
There are mail services that do this - it's like a PO box, but not provided by the postal service and they will forward your mail to anywhere. These services are quite popular with RV folks and world sailors. Some will even scan your mail for you.

This is a legislation problem, not a conference problem. I've had my badge scanned for a contest at a European conference early last year and the person at the booth pointed out that it's pointless because they'll have to delete all that data when the GDPR is implemented anyway.

I never heard from them again. Nor should I. The GDPR pretty much got rid of data collection without explicitly informed consent and makes it trivial to withdraw at any point.

As far as I can tell, the author deplores that SemVer doesn't tell you the magnitude of changes as used to be the case.

Or it could be that it isn't perfect, but clearly neither is the system it replaces.

My problem is that it argues from a premise about what SemVer is/means to people. SemVer is not magical it's just a simple contract linking the public interface with the version number.

As such it's just a different trade off from the old ("magnitude of change") model. I personally find it more useful — it tells me whether I should look up breaking changes or not.
Bank’s software chief jailed after withdrawing US$1m in ‘free’ cash from ATMs
SEEKING WORK

Location: Hyderabad, India

Remote: Flexible.

Willing to relocate: Yes.

Technologies: iOS, watchOS, tvOS, Git, Bash, Objective-C, Swift

Résumé/CV:

Email: nimeshneema@gmail.com

I specialise in development of iOS, watchOS and tvOS app and currently learning macOS app development. As a programmer I have a good understanding of Apple's user interface design paradigms (HIG's) and what makes a great app.

I am a big fan of beautifully designed software which are well crafted, end-to-end, keeping the intended users in mind. In my opinion, a software should be designed to work like a good appliance; easy to setup and operate, with minimal to no intrusion and predictable in behaviour.

I believe crafting a good software which fulfils the aforementioned goals requires careful planning, execution and concerted symphony within the team. Keeping the said in mind, I continuously strive to hone my craft by exploring and learning best possible tools and technology for the job at hand. I am also inclined towards growing as a software engineer by constantly enhancing my understanding of fundamental concepts and tooling.

I have over 7 years of experience working as a Software Engineer. I also have experience working as an independent consultant.
From the definitions section of the act:

> The term 'deep fake' means an audiovisual record created or altered in a manner that the record would falsely appear to a reasonable observer to be an authentic record of the actual speech or conduct of an individual.

This limits the scope of the act to prohibiting deep fakes that are not explicitly labeled as such. If the recording (or, potentially, links to the recording) contains any type of disclaimer, that should be sufficient to establish that no reasonable observer would consider it to be authentic.

But I wonder if this provides enough protection to victims in the case of deep fakes where a person's face is grafted onto sexual content or other content that might embarrass the person, whether or not a disclaimer exists.

For instance, if someone puts an acquaintance's face into a sex scene and distributes it online, then even if there's a huge "This is a deep fake" scrolling disclaimer across the video, that person may still feel as if they have been defamed.

They're supposed to respect the limits placed on their power and they're supposed to guard the powers they are given jealously. Instead, they trip over each other to run away from their lawful authority, and when they finally decide to "do something", limits are dismissed with a wave of the hand.

Its quite reasonable to not support your employer if there are disagreements. But one might be at the wrong job in the first place then, although not all have the luxury to choose. That's why there are unions and strikes and stuff. It's quite strange Amazon would fire them. Google didn't fire anyone for not supporting or cheering for various government work. But I guess, warehouse workers have less rights/power, and that's what this comes down to. Which strangely enough might also be the reason the went on the streets in the first place.

>> House numbering logic wildly differs between countries. In Tokyo, houses are numbered in the order in which they are constructed.

>Isn't that the case for most countries?

I don't think so.. as far as I can (subjectively) tell, it's more common to set up a logical system. Another poster mentioned the Finnish system, where the number reflects the physical distance from the start of the road (123 = 1230 meters). Another common scheme is to use even numbers on one side of the road, and odd numbers on the other side, and numbering the houses sequentially, leaving gaps for not-yet built houses. In my street, for example, there's a large gap in the numbering because the next building is nearly a hundred meters away. On the occasional 'two buildings squeezed into one spot' just add A and B (and C and so on) as needed. And around here the numbering always start from the most southern part of the road or street (and if you ask "what about roads going exactly east-west", then a) I don't know, and b) It's really hard to find a roading that goes exactly east-west. I suspect, however, that there's a system for that as well - "if in doubt, start from east" or something).
> My grandmother's house (in Australia) was assigned a house number (in the 70s?) but she refused to use it, continuing to give her address as the house name and insisting that we grandkids address letters to her by name. As far as I know they always arrived.

-My parents once received a postcard addressed simply to their first names - period. No last name. No street. No town. No postcode. No nothing.

It goes to show that:

a) Norway is, as such things go, a pretty small country with at least one postal clerk bored enough at work to do a little bit of investigating, and:

b) Having a central database in which every Norwegian is required by law to be registered with the address of his or her residence does have its benefits for the less privacy-conscious. (This was pre-internet everywhere, and they were not listed in online yellow pages or similar - so someone must have made a query to the folkeregisteret database along the lines of 'Is there a $male_name which lives with $female_name anywhere in the country?)

Of course, you're free to speak ill of your employer at any time. And they're free to fire you for anything they hear about.

It may be shortsighted of them to do so; with a good employer, you should be able to criticize in a productive way and work to change things. But that's not an issue of legality.
Did you just call git a fad? The vast majority of software in version control is in git, including some of the largest and most important open source projects.

The title and the content are different. As I read through

> Le Parisien cite l'exemple d'un employé qui aurait donné rendez-vous à des collègues "devant la porte de son lieu de travail pour partir bloquer un entrepôt voisin, à Lesquin", dans le Nord. Un autre aurait lancé : "Il faut du renfort et des palettes, les amis !"

Basically the guy organized with his co-workers to blockade a warehouse (I assume of Amazon).

I don't think they fired guys that vocally supported Yellow Vests demands. Those would be in the hundreds if not thousands. It seems to me like they fired trouble makers.

I have only a couple words: Good riddance. Saying this as someone who has been affected by blockades (in another country) and seen people, companies and business being affected and devastated by it.

There is a difference between complaining and blocking a road/access.
I think it's likely a lot of good stuff that gets posted never makes it to the front page.

As I look over at New, at 8am EST on a Monday I see 27 stories posted in the last 30 minutes. I don't know if that's average, but I suspect it's low compared to later in the day when more people are awake.
Technically, maybe, but it’s ugly, since at first glance the badge seems to have a name on it, but anyone who then makes the effort to read it get nothing for the effort. (Yes, it takes a conscious effort to read a name off a badge.) It would be better if it was immediately obvious that the badge had no name, to spare everyone the wasted effort.
Bah, your estimate is meaningless anyway, since someone five levels above you in the org chart has already promised the customer that feature X would be available in 3 weeks. And that promise was made last Tuesday, so by the time it gets to you, there are only two weeks remaining until the deadline.

You'll know this is the case when you say "at least a month", and the PM looks at you like you just shot his dog.

Merriam-Webster defines freedom of speech as "the legal right to express one's opinions freely".

Something I liked immensely from a conference that dealt with under-represented people in tech is that a lanyard colour denotes whether or not you can be photographed.

If they do, they will be replaced, just like iexplore was. So they won't stagnate unless they are stupid and want Firefox to take over.
The ‘miracle mineral’ the world needs
Fair objection and, I think, true to some extent.

But first off, most people didn't do that sort of reading (if ever) until they were a couple of years into school, because of the reading skill threshold, and second, the books tend to hook you only to the extent that they offer a compelling story, and generally run out pretty soon, with some reservations about re-readability.

Contrast that with things like the parents at a New Year's party I attended recently, giving their two-year-old daughter a touchscreen phone to keep her pacified, and she sits mesmerized poking stupid bright colors and sparkles, not making eye contact, ignoring grown-ups when they did talk to her, except when pressed about being offered ice-cream, which she declined.

Ponder that. Poking brightly colored sparklies is higher priority to that kid than even taking a break a few minutes for ice cream.

I think you did pay with other opportunities for your reading, but I suspect it also gave you a lot that you would be willing to pay that for over again if you were asked to consciously make the choice.
There are real trade-offs involved.

But anecdotally from what I see, the books were introduced at a less sensitive stage, hooked into better motivational systems in more benign way, and gave more back for the time spent. Time on the sparkly poking slabs can also be paid with time that would normally be used to tune the fundamentals of how it works to be a functioning human being, and for a great many uses it's not clear to me that it gives all that much back at all beyond cheap thrills in the moment, whether it's some slot-machine-like like matching game, restyling your selfie with a cartoon dog nose, fall-on-your-ass-videos or Facebook.

The quantitative differences are so big that they qualitative differences, and some caution is in order.

I've observed this discrepancy between scientific conferences and more industry/community oriented ones. In scientific circles it makes sense not to de-emphasize last names. As you say, last names are how you identify authors whose work you've seen. Emphasizing first names may make more sense in communities where you aren't expected to know exactly who works on what. Compare "ah, you're M. Wollstonecraft, I've read your book" vs. "nice to meet you, Mary, one of the many faceless persons who work on a project named Frankenstein at Huge Company, Inc.".
Picketing is simply standing on public land outside the gates, holding slogans.

Blocking the way in either direction is usually an offence (you can get arrested).
That’s a contribution and then they feel entitled because folks who don’t see the business case in the first place are going to be a pain.
It's funny how a very simple DL architecture any beginner could prepare ended up in a prohibition act - essentially training two convolutional autoencoders, one on the face one wants to replace (extracting dataset by e.g. tracking face with OpenCV in target video), the second on many pictures of the face one wants to replace (e.g. scraping from Internet or known videos), then essentially gluing together encoder from one and decoder from the other, assuming latent variables match, and suddenly a fake video is done.

IMO if you really want to control deep fakes, you should use a blockchain and track all processing steps, starting from image/video acquisition. I don't want to give anyone ideas, but they will do it anyway.
