Around that time you had periods where banks didn't know if their competitors were going to be around next month, there were also periods where they didn't know if several major European nations were going to be defaulting on their debts.

In that kind of situation do the normal rules apply? I don't doubt during the banking crisis several 'dodgy' deals were done between the central banks, politicians, and banks. And if it stopped the entire global economy going tits up, I'm ok with that.

Now the devil is in the details obviously, this could just be a case of personal enrichment.

You know this is exactly like watching youtube for motivation. Self motivation and self control are the best thing we should consider doing. Get control over the life and be productive. I know its easier said than done
It seems like The NY Times could do this by separating tiers. Let me subscribe to the magazine, which has good long-form journalism, separately from the breaking news daily machinations that the average person doesnt need to pay attention to.
Disagree. "Dash to Panel", "Gnomesome" and "Topicons redux" extensions have got GNOME back to where I wanted it exactly. They're not extensions that add any appreciable CPU usage, because they're altering shell behaviour, rather than rendering stuff in a tight loop.

My favourite tiling WM is awesome, and the majority of the interesting functionality for that is scripted in Lua, which is fast but more of a niche language.

However, awesome doesn't support Wayland, and the awesome-clones for Wayland are all early-development and don't work very well for me.

GNOME supports wayland, has session management, styles things consistently, has sensible defaults, and thanks to the JS engine and the extensions repo, can do exactly what I want it to do.

(Except for those !£$"£$% gigantic title bars which GNOME apps like to stuff navigation things into so you can't really remove, wasting SO much screen estate....)
I don’t get why people fall over themselves to point out the differences in these images. They both seems fairly neural to me.

Ranma 1/2 is probably technically child porn in the US. Do they sell it there? Even Inuyasha has a full nude picture of 14 year old of Kagome in the first book. I was going to send the Japanese version to my niece in Canada (I live in Japan) and quickly scanned it first to be sure...

It's funny though, Rumiko Takahashi is probably my favourite mangaka (all of her manga was easy enough for me to read when I was first learning Japanese). But when I mentioned her to my wife, the first thing that came to her mind was Urusai Yatsura, which I had never heard of :-) She's written a lot of popular manga!
Interesting to think of sign language localisation. ASL and BSL are completely different languages for example, and Swedish Sign Language another one still.

One thing I find indispensable when trying to navigate the crazy amount of JavaScript frameworks these days is the RealWorld demo app [1]. It's a spec for an application that is more complex than the standard todo app, and there are implementations of that same app in dozens of frontend stacks. I usually take a look at the code when I'm not sure how to structure something in my code, because the problem was often encountered there and has a sensible solution. By contrast, when I Google around for some design/architecture dilemma when writing frontend JavaScript, the quality of content is terrible and I usually find dozens of alternative solutions, often by people who've obviously used none of them.

And it's always amazingly convenient and user-friendly when a MacOS application freezes and you can't move its windows or interact with it at all. Especially when it's fullscreen. At some point perfection in one area impedes functionality in another and I think having one frame lag between window frame and window contents is an acceptable price to pay for having always accessible window controls. I know I'll never use GNOME and I'll live happy, but the issue is that their stubbornness starts leaking GNOME implementation details to everyone else. They are not acting like good community contributors.
My thoughts. I remember Autodesk made a resin print of the Eiffel Tower and some other object with plastic polymers catalyzed by light about 4 years ago, there is a video on Youtube of it somewhere.
You can make your points without being so inflammatory and combative. Clearly that person has some fears or has had some troubling experiences, and it's not helpful or kind to be provocative.

I too support free speech and worry about the current enthusiasm for stifling it. But I don't like how many people use it to justify indecency and cruelty in their speech. If nothing else, it gives ammunition to those who seek to restrict speech.
This is pretty similar to my approach. In the context of developing an API I use integration tests more than unit tests. It is straightforward to spin up an application server against a test database with some test data. Run some example requests against it and verify the results.

I frequently have Test classes which contain a full scenario related to a specific resource or action. For example:

* create resource
* lookup resource
* modify resource
* list all resources
* delete resource

The JSON files for the integration tests are then used as examples in the API documentation.

Unit tests are reserved mostly for verifying business logic components. There is no need to setup a complex ControllerTest with mocked out Services or Repositories as you don't care about the internals anyway. Just the input vs output and the integration tests cover those already.
I think we need to give professional journalists the benefit of the doubt and assume they studied journalism at university and the fact that what they learned is the correct way of doing journalism. Just like computer scientists go to university and learn how to write software properly. What I think happens in reality is that people with no journalism training call the shots by setting the budget and direction in these news agencies. This introduces the bias these journalists have training to actively avoid. Must be very frustrating for them.

Of cource, just like software developers with no formal training, there are plenty of news writers with no formal training either. And just like developers, these journalists can self learn proper journalism themselves or hack it and give a bad name to other journalists.
And then the iPhone becomes the same security nightmare that Windows and Android are.

The only reason that the Mac isn’t infested with ransomeware of the month is that it isn’t a large target.
In my experience, a lot of unit tests are written with mocks, expectations, and way too much knowledge of the implementation details, which leads to broken tests simply by refactoring, even if the behavior does not change at all.

If you test units in isolation, while adhering to SRP which results in many smaller units depending on eachother to do a task, then simply refactoring without changing behavior screws up a considerable portion of your tests.

As for "tests cast away fear", that is definitely true. Whether or not the lack of fear is warranted is something else, and depends heavily on the quality of the unit tests. I've seen plenty of devs confident of their change because it didn't break any unit tests, only to discover that it broke something they forgot to test.
Nice little touch in Fig.7 (actually, all of their visualizations) is that it uses the Orange/Blue contrast they identified!
It's possible to see why anti-vaxxers are afraid while disclosing verified facts.

There is no one "correct" side amongst people and events, only impressions and accounts, which can vary tremendously.

It's also important not to take a side in the news, but to lay out facts and people issues involved as fairly as possible, rather than what happens these days: hiding datapoints, falsifying statements, taking sides and rarely understanding anything about or relating to the people involved.

Perhaps on stories of grievance or accusation, journalists musy play devil's advocate by asking for a response to opposition and ask the question most people are too afraid to ask.

Taking sides is for the editorial, not news, lest it become merely a TV church espousing gospel and seed faith, while the polarized others are turned off and away. Neither group communicates to the other, and neither challenges the others ideas... a dichotomous, divided-and-conquered, atomized society falls apart.

PS: I've been around the sun a few times, and I note a liability red flag whenever a person espouses black-and-white thinking. It's usually an unreasonableness better kept at a distance.
Right. I was answering the last part of the comment, perhaps should have made that more clear.

Google Voice provides text transcripts for voicemail, but I'm not aware of it having ever supported anything like the screen call feature.

When you activate the feature the caller hears the following message: "Hi, the person you’re calling is using a screening service from Google, and will get a copy of this conversation. Go ahead and say your name, and why you’re calling."

Then you'll see a live transcript with whatever the caller says, and you're given multiple choices with which to respond. Here's some of the available actions / responses, along with the message the caller hears:

* Is it urgent? - “Do you need to get a hold of them urgently?”
* Report as spam - “Please remove this number from your mailing and contact list. Thanks, and goodbye.”
* I'll call you back - “They can’t talk right now, but they'll give you a call later. Thanks, and goodbye.”
* I can't understand - "It's difficult to understand you at the moment. Could you repeat what you just said?”

You also have the option to answer or end the call at any time.

Another important detail is that this is done exclusively using on-device technologies, so it works offline and it preserves your privacy. Voicemail transcripts are generated on Google's servers.

All of this information is taken verbatim from the two articles I linked as part of my original response.
After seeing fractional scaling in Windows, I'd rather just not. 150% was really, really bad on my 1440p screen. Fonts were probably the most horrible I've seen in my life, even for Windows. I just turned scaling off and increased font size where I could.

They're at the very least substantially misleading, sometimes to the point where I reckon people would have a more accurate view of the world if they didn't read them. For instance, the one where the New York Times pretended that giving people the ability to use manufacturer-provided smartphone apps to view content their friends shared with them was the same as giving that information to the manufacturer of their smartphone, even when it never left the device: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/03/technology/fa...

We call it "Tim and Struppi" here. Never liked it very much. Though I also forgot e.g. Lucky Luke which I liked very much. There are quite a lot good series.

I'm trying to remember the name of one specific comic or series though: sci-fi theme, floating city in space, many different races live there, there is an elite humanoid alien race with blue skin and 6 eyes in 2 columns, with blue blood wearing skin-tight shiny armor, with psycho-kinetic powers, human male poses as one of them and kills a female alien possibly to steal her power, steals also her space ship, IIRC a chase through the space city ensues.

Maybe somebody knows the book, I absolutely cannot remember if this is from Valerian or something else, any hint would be grately appreciated. I think I read it last 20 years ago. Text was in German. Typical Carlsen/Egmont comic book format.

Edit: It's NOT Yoko Tsuno "City of the Banished Ones". Different series or one-shot.
that arguably is another form of political bias - if I want to push position A, I will choose the most ridiculous and deranged proponent of position B to imply that "all rational people choose position A". Like on the issue of climate change - there's clearly some fraction of people who choose to deny it completely, but the more meaningful debate at this point is around how much we can do to prevent it, and what approaches might work (iron seeding, carbon sequestration, artificial photosynthesis, planting/algae cultivation, etc). Presenting a climate scientist who advocates a move to solar panels against a conspiracy theorist who thinks climate change is an invention of the new world order to seize control of the manufacturing industry is not a balanced presentation of the available angles.
I'm guessing that referral is a big drive
Replying to myself: but 17 USC § 111.a.5 does apply and it's very specifically applies for "... other nonprofit organization, without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage, and without charge to the recipients of the secondary transmission other than assessments necessary to defray the actual and reasonable costs of maintaining and operating the secondary transmission service."
I agree with the idea that we're mostly automating manual work.

The really nice thing about automated tests is that they can also go much further than I would ever bother to manually. For example, I might manually check that a couple of product pages are showing, with an image, price and description. With automated testing I can check all product pages, every time. It can also test a tedious amount of interactions, e.g. various interleavings of "add to cart", "remove from cart", "checkout", "press back button", etc.

Manual testing still gives me confidence that automated tests can't, e.g. that an "unknown unknown" hasn't taken things down. Yet that's all I need to check manually; if pages are loading and look right, I don't feel a need to manually check all of the ecommerce arithmetic, permission logic, etc.
You can't legally not pay for the bbc and then watch, say, ITV, though.
> Its not easy. Does some one have a better way to deal with this.

A boycott. Don't buy the stuff.

Seriously, the core of the problem is not moral judgement (although that may be worthy discussing at a second, non-fire emergency, time.

The problem is automatic moral contagion. A publisher may make the approximate market or moral guess that it should suspend its relationship with an author. But a literary agent doing the same at lightning speed is deferring moral judgement to the amorphous crowd, the "They". And the "They" is structurally incapable of thought, let alone moral thought. The consequence is bookstores getting caught in the wave and erasing traces of the author's existence.

I never thought Ayn Rand's Fountainhead, which seemed so overwrought and sanctimonious ten years ago, had this much wisdom about human nature. Search wikiquote for some choice rambling about "second handers".

It's really badly written too, so it's a shame human behavior is making it more prescient and deeper than, say, 1984.
It is analogous to moral hazard. People with insurance take greater risks, and vice versa.
Humans are really bad at scanning and interpreting large amounts of visual data. When driving a car, your brain is already nearly overwhelmed by the amount of information it needs to process and analyse.

You want to add yet more information to that.
This is not a traditional resin printer like the Form One.
So what’s the purpose of a “global filesystem” besides having a repository where you can store files and share them across applications? You’ve been able to use iCloud to do that and install third party storage providers that work across apps since iOS 8.
Capitalism cares about value, not productivity. If people value something, capitalism will deliver it for you.

People do value the arts, but the pricing is broken because a present-day artist has to compete not just with peers but also the ancient greats.
Sorry, I’m on mobile so I may not be reading the thread correctly, but is the logic here that there needs to be laws against public backlash to admitting sexually assaulting people (louis ck)?

Edit: what I took literally here is that if you knew someone admitted to sexually assaulting their direct reports within the past year or two, and you didn’t hire them, you are personally on the hook unless you can prove you didn’t hire them for another reason?

From my experience, a PM being technical can not do harm, but as a PM you work with multiple people: both front end backend engineers, data analysts, designers and maybe sales/ops/etc.

You can't have a background in every talent you work with, so for me as an engineer, if you don't have a technical background, no big deal.

What's important in your behaviour is, as some other comments as stated:

- Don't fake it. If you don't know, say you don't know, it's ok.

- Be (honestly) curious, and do everything you can to understand how things work. You don't need to understand how a specific database scales, but if a specific product connects to 3 different databases, understanding why, and what that implies technically is very important.

- Being honest and curious will build trust with your team. You also need to trust 100% your team. If someone tells you that something you thought would be easy is in fast hard, don't question. Ask questions to understand why and get more context on how your product works. Don't ask to make sure the person is not BS'ing you, ask to know, out of honest curiosity.

- Be on top of 100% of your product. Nobody else should know your product better than you. If you own a complicated onboarding flow, you should know exactly, by heart, all the different steps, situations, how someone gets to what steps, what happens when someone signups with a wrong email, etc etc.

All those previous point are true for engineers, design, data and every other role on your team. You are the CEO of the team. That doesn't mean you have authority, but that means you work with VPs that bring expertise, from it, you make strategic decisions on where to bring the team. So you don't have to have a technical/design/data background, but you need to be broad and curious enough to understand what everyone explains you and what to do of those.

The worst PMs I worked with were the kind of PM who would not make such efforts, ask repetitively the same questions or make the same wrong assumptions because they don't know their products and don't understand / learn / remember when you explains who/why something is hard/not worth it/not possible.

Missiles left in orbit are only effective as first-strike weapons, because you just wait until they are over the enemy then launch your strike. As response or retaliation weapons they are useless. If the enemy launches an attack while your missile is in orbit over the Indian Ocean, or it's current cycle wont put it over the enemy for another 10 orbits, then you might as well not have it. This is why space based nukes were completely banned very early on.
it appears that you're suggesting that the only sides to politics are the perfect good people (presumably the progressive left), and their evil opposition comprised entirely of fascists, fascist apologists and cynical hypercapitalists. I presume most readers are already aware of this, but that is a highly inaccurate presentation of the range of political positions people hold.

To present politics as a battle of good versus evil is extremely harmful to discourse because it dehumanises the opposition. In my experience, most conservatives and liberals alike are moderate and policy-focused, believing that one approach or another will solve any given issue. Of course you do get extremists, but they are a fringe minority on both sides.
As long as they are not found guilty naming them would equal to putting up the pillory. Always a bad idea.

When people are proven wrong, does the conversation move forward, or do large swathes of people grip onto their beliefs anyway?
Only one publication passes the Gell-Mann test for me, and I pay for it. Nothing else comes close. Definitely not NYT. Just yesterday I came across an article in NYT that was hilariously wrong. I've spent all my working hours in the past year and a half on it, whereas the journalist spent maybe a couple of hours on it. They drew the most outlandish conclusions from the snippet of data they looked at. Very disappointing because it erodes the trust I have in that publication. If they could be so wrong about something I know about, what's the guarantee they're right about anything else?
No it isn't. A normal SLA printer like a Form One prints a slice at a time and crucially it doesn't "print" in the middle of the liquid - only at the surface.

This works as the article says, like a CT scanner in reverse. The resin solidifies all at once in the middle. It's very different.
I don’t see how paying for news would have any effect on fake news, unless people start to believe that only paid-for news can be accurate or trustworty.

That is a chilling and terrifying idea. Even if I pay for news, a lot of other news and non-fiction content is still freely published.

As long as people believe some free news is trustworthy, there will be an incentive to create fake news.
>In that kind of situation do the normal rules apply?

Yes.
