From the opposite perspective, you have to limit yourself with how many things you can care about in a day. Aside from all the people living in ignorance and spreading the same, there is also a torrent of rotten luck. Many people do a lot of good, but for how much bad stuff is out there it is hard work.

I'm glad to see kids in school are not being brought up to be as rotten as my classmates, and from listening to my parents they seem to say the same in turn. My grandparents say little about their experience, save for hints of savagery. Things are improving, albeit slowly.
I've seen plenty of articles about Lambda where aside from one or two quips about "Acktually, it's not really serverless yanno" the comments are largely constructive or technical.

But this is "use serverless by setting up and managing one of our servers," so I think the derision is pretty well placed, and I say that as a huge fan of DigitalOcean.
We can improve shells and terminals a lot.

Shell:

Currently shell code is limited to one language. If you have bash, you can only do bash. But we could imagine a shell that understands webassembly, and hence we can use it with many languages. We could even imagine tools to inline webassembly generation, so that you can code directly in your favorite language in the shell, and it gets transparently compiled and executed.

Terminals:

I use a combination of GUI and TUI all the time. I like my mouse. I wish there were a terminal that behaves more like a file browser, with back and next button, an address bar, and a way to temporarily switch the view from text to icons to select files with the mouse then enter a command for thoses. Some file operation should also be available from a right click on a file path.

Not every shell lover wants his hands on the keyboard all the time.
What do you think dividends are paid on?
Right, I used bochs too: it was a full emulator, none of this "let's just let the CPU really run these" things. :)
1.5 million paying users and 200M in arr is certainly impressive.

Thanks for the link

Because they already have a deal with the post office where you can send something to your nearest Netflix distribution center without having to specify where it is. At the moment the only thing you can send there is Netflix DVDs, but fixing that is just a negotiation away.
My layperson's understanding of depression is that it's your brain lying to you. My wife's perception of things that happened to her were often 180 degrees different from mine. She would take compliments I would give her, process them through the “depression” filter, and they would come out the other end as insults. You could actually watch it happen; there was a perceptible mental lag as the filters worked. To this day, her memory of those times is very different from mine.

It's not just that you lose track of normal, although that is certainly true. But it's also that you can't trust your own sensory perceptions. You are viewing the world through distorting lenses.
The Volt (and probably Bolt) offer a number of options.

In 'D', releasing the accelerator coasts; in 'L', it decelerates, presumably subject to the same limitations as the Tesla.

There is also a paddle on the steering wheel which activates regenerative deceleration independent of the brakes. This does not completely stop the car, and has a longer braking distance.

So with the car in 'D' the controls become: press accelerator, go, release accelerator, coast, press paddle, slow down, press brake, stop.

Probably gave those poor females a serious complex. Can you imagine how messed up you'd be if every time you approached someone of the opposite sex, they got shot from a helicopter?
Not sure. Chatted with a few other devs and they shared similar experiences when working with their APIs. The biggest issue is that prior job postings data isn't expose on the API so you can only see current postings, which wouldn't be useful in terms of showing trends, which is what I hoped for.
Ok; the classic 640x480 figure is also in pixels, so I'm not sure why the parent commenter would use a different unit to try and draw a comparison.
> Explainable isn't the same as justifiable. An expert system may be able to readily explain that it determined the chance of recidivism is high due to factors x, y, and z. However, there is no guarantee that those factors correlate with recidivism at all since expert systems were simply built to emulate (human) expert decisions.

Re-reading the article now, it may very well be an expert system. The "big data" mentioned isn't training data, but pre-existing databases like bank account info, salaries, contracts, property ownership, etc. FTA:

> Disciplinary officials need to help scientists train the machine with their experience and knowledge accumulated from previous cases. For instance, disciplinary officials spent many hours manually tagging unusual phenomenon in various types of data sets to teach the machine what to look for.

As far as explaining the results, it's hard to draw any conclusion without knowing exactly what "not very good at explaining the process it has gone through " means.

Pedantically, AI really encompasses and represents a broad range of ML approaches, many of which are fundamentally just algorithmic. If there's a rubric for producing these and its intended to simulate the approach a human might take, one could argue it's artificial intelligence.

This is a classic case of 'work to spec' vs 'work to practice'. Yes, people should go of the official documentation rather than what works in practice, but it is obtuse to presume everyone will do it in the same way.

Normally, I'd say that those who ignored the spec deserve less consideration. However, when that involves giving less consideration to 100+ passengers as well, that changes.

Atom, Brackets, VS Code are all built with JavaScript. npm is itself built with JavaScript... most of the tools built in/around npm are build with JavaScript.

I do all my CI/CD orchestration around node and JavaScript, even for applications/services not using JS.

React, material-ui, redux, react-jss etc, all JavaScript.

Express, cocket.io, hapi, etc... all JavaScript.

I'm not sure where you are coming from here. As to your reference of Make... you don't have to write npm before you can use npm... the same argument is true of JS tooling.

As to your shell scripts, do they (including your make configuration) run in Windows, Linux and Mac without issue? My Node/JS scripts do.
Yeah, I figured it's usually many minutes but didn't want to underplay the stress and difficulty of following a checklist in an extreme emergency. In contrast, car major mechanical failures generally resolve themselves extremely quickly.
End users aren't the ones accused of violating the GPL. The issue is the non-GPL binary NVidia drivers linking against the GPL kernel without releasing the source code.
Don't get me wrong, but no high-school teaches operating system development.

I did go to a kind-of-special school (Mathematical Grammar School in Belgrade) that did have advanced (for high-schools) IT subjects like assembly language development, database courses and similar, but as I said, even my teachers were surprised I actually had something to show off after presenting my work on an OS.
The strategy drug dealers use is they know the cash limit before required notification. Let's say it's $5k. Buy a $4k car, drive it a couple months, trade it in for an $8k car paying the difference in cash, rinse and repeat.

I don't know about the comparison of Discord vs Slack on searching, but both apps have had the multiple workspaces/servers feature for ages now.
Um, no. Private equity is not what you're describing, and is the opposite of how Warren Buffett operates.

Private equity specializes in leveraged buyouts of companies. The typical deal is that the private equity partners put their own money into a fund, that they then get others to invest in. This fund puts up a downpayment on a company with the bulk of the loan being taken out by the company, and then buys out the current owners. The private equity folks then try to "put lipstick on the pig" by making the company generate what looks to be good numbers, and then flip it to someone else. The profit is then shared with the fund as returns.

Sometimes the deal goes wrong and the private equity partners have to run the company for longer than expected.

Sometimes the deal goes very wrong, and the company goes out of business. Like happened to Toys "R" Us.

Even when the deal goes wrong, the private equity partners typically make their investment back between the fee for setting up the deal, and fees for running the company. This leaves the investors in their fund and the bank holding the bag as everything crashes and burns. But hey, that outcomes just proves how much smarter the private equity guys were than everyone else all along!

Compare and contrast to Warren Buffett's approach of buying whole companies cash, keeping current management in place, and running them for long term returns.
Discord definitely lets you connect to multiple servers through one client. As for searchability, all chat logs are stored forever (unlike slack where only so many are stored unless you pay for full logs). The downside is that discord stores all the logs on their servers instead of yours, so it may not be suitable for some companies' security policies.

FAA regulates commercial drone us in America. I'd imagine places like the Galapagos may not yet have regulations around drone usage.
I used to work in a state government job as a student intern, and they said they wanted an internal directory for some various tasks. You can think of it like an inventory manager sort of website, purely on our intranet.

The mad lad my lead was, said we would need a database for retaining some of the basic data we needed to keep track of. Nothing all that special, just a few tables, and by nature nothing sensitive would be tracked.

This got rejected immediately, and our IT literally cited "no database installations are allowed per security team."

Needless to say 4 months later, after some back and forth, he eventually said "whatever, we'll just store everything to files then" and that's how he came up with the world's slowest inventory manager - I suspect just the way they like it.
Mozilla demonstrated they don't care about retaining old users when they broke all the extensions in 57.
>as science still is by far the most reliable method for obtaining a working model of the world

Where did I say otherwise?

Science doesn't allow us to make value judgements. The closest ethical framework we have to allowing us to use science to make value judgements is utilitarianism. But it still relies on axiomatic assumptions about what is intrinsically good. The decision as to what axioms to choose is philosophy, not science.
I think they must have been doing this on a smaller scale in the 80s as well. When I was a kid my dad was doing some work with the Ecuadorian park service, and I went on a goat hunt on Isabela. The park rangers killed a lot of goats, and we barbecued one of them on the beach.
Capitalism, according to all these men, is about frictionless, seamless engorgement.

The writer is losing the thread a bit here. "Eating" in this context, means to disrupt with a more efficient way of doing things. "Eating people" is replacing manual jobs performed by people with automation and networks. If a job can be "eaten" then that means keeping it is just top-down mandated make-work.

More generally, he argues that we are, in fact, in an all-out return of the Gilded Age — and perhaps only the clothing has changed.

We are, in fact, in yet another variation of a "Gilded Age." [1] Only the clothing and particular cultural artifacts have changed. For years on this site, I've been making an analogy between SV of today and "Mad Men." I think people have misunderstood. In both cases, there's a tribe of people, recently imbued with greater socioeconomic status, mostly from all of the same schools, with the same subculture, dressing the same, consuming the same non-mainstream products, becoming increasingly out of touch with mainstream people and mainstream culture. In both cases, the interests of the subgroup have diverged and come to odds with the interests of society at large. In both cases, many members of the subgroup have come to look down upon the society and mainstream culture they originally came from.

When it comes down to it, groupthink is the underlying motivating factor in all of history's great tragedies and great evils. As an intellectual in 2019, it behooves you to constantly look over your shoulder for its approach. Look across the media landscape for its encroachment. Look the hardest at yourself and those nearest to you.

([1] - yes, I know the one referenced predates the Mad Men milieu. There are many gilded ages.)
I'd rather not get a job that very probably do not fit me anyway, instead of finding out after having left that my new boss is an asshole.

The overhead of starting again the job search from scratch, explaining why I want to quit after 6 months (for real this time) is much bigger.
Fantastic! Thank you so much!!!
No, I don't enjoy Google Books, but that's really not the point.

If that's what I'm helping you do then tell me that and let me opt-in. Maybe I want to contribute. But, don't instead throw up a road-block to the service I'm actually trying to consume, under the guise of providing that service, then double my required effort to help you provide some other service.

It's actually implemented as a dark pattern. If you want cheap labor then use Mechanical Turk or otherwise. But, don't steal thousands of hours of your customers' time under misleading pretenses.

It depends on your definition of "civil servant". DoE national labs are run by contractors, such as the University of California, who have their own tech transfer policies and offices. As a result, I can't legally use most of the software I wrote as an NIH-funded postdoc. (One of the many reasons I don't work there any more.)

It is likely they don't realize or understand the actual issue. The decision-makers probably don't ever look at the menu on a mobile device. Even if they recognize that there is an issue, they may be intimidated by the prospect of finding someone who can fix it.

This is in stark contrast to kitchen-related matters, which they are likely much more experienced at identifying and dealing with.

Intermittent Fasting Methods: Which One Is Best for You?
A 14" CRT monitor from The Olden Days has an area of about 523
cm². An iPhone X has a screen area of about 127 cm². A 5.8" screen is tiny, regardless of its resolution.

Resolution will only get you so far; people don't have infinitely acute eyesight and infinitely precise dexterity. Most people can't reliably hit a touch target of less than ~10mm in any dimension, which equates to ~180 real pixels on an iPhone X.
Situational attitude is critical for these scenarios.

My example: As a teenage shift manager in a mall store, my boss had an opportunity to break the lease and close the store.

He paid me to do some cleanup and other work. For reasons unknown to me, he needed to get the safe and it’s contents out of the store in a hurry.

So picture an 18 year old kid rolling a large safe with a hand truck at midnight though the mall. A security guy stops me near the door, says “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

My response: “What does it look like, I’m moving a safe. Get that door, dude.”

The guard opened the door, said nothing and watched as me and a guy in a hoodie loaded the safe into the back of a white rental van.

As for Gulp... I don't use it anymore... I know most of the guys behind it, and I was a proponent early on, as grunt was painful in contrast.

These days, most of my build is using Webpack via npm scripts. In fact, most of my CI/CD orchestration utilizes the scripts section of a package.json via npm and a scripts/ directory with JS scripts that run via Node in Windows, Mac and Linux and in our CI/CD pipelines which include Windows and Docker targets without issue.

It's cross platform and it works. The fact is, node/js is good enough for pretty much everything, and you're an ignorant snob. That last part is really the only thing I can gather from your opinions here.
1.2% of the GDP. That's all it would take to green the economy
An unpopular opinion I guess, but the article is saying if you receive government funding, it should be open source.

That's more than just government employees making code. It's also any company, individual or agency that even accepts $1 of public grant money or any external contracts.

We're talking about hundreds of thousands of coders who's daily job is partially funded by the government having to push their code public.

I worked for an ad agency for a time that created websites and sent emails for tourism. The tourism website needs to be open source? The program that sends out discount coupons to public attractions and parks? Each HTML email I code needs to be submitted to repository somewhere?

I don't think people realize just how many millions of lines of code per day we're talking about here. Most of them being inconsequential things. 99.999999% of that being noise.

You've just jacked up the cost of working with the government. More time spent coding. More documentation for things that shouldn't need it. More time spent with compliance issues. Companies need to charge more. More tax dollars wasted.
Would trust-busting do any good? The main reason no practical alternatives to Facebook exist is the network effect. The main reason that competitors to Google don't do well is that people will just use the search engine that returns the most relevant results (unless your internet connection is censored).

This is a great puzzle game. I am absolutely hooked!
Yeah I think neutral has gotten a lot easier to pull off in the last five years just because of all the design resources put out by Google, Apple, and MS. Even though I don't like Material as a strict design language, just the fact that it's clearly explained and all the resources behind it are free is a much better starting point than being more limited to reverse engineering existing sites and picking up their biases along the way.
