>That sounds like an interesting article, would you send me a copy later on

This one makes sense to me since it roughly gauges the non-verbal aspects of interpersonal communication. If the interviewee does send a copy, it's a signal that he's dependable in some sense but perhaps more importantly if he goes a bit beyond and sends a few other articles on the topic, it shows passion for the topic and a desire to communicate that knowledge to others.

Hmm, interesting. I'm in no rush, so will certainly be doing more research.

I currently have some counterfeit boullion and fake Magic the Gathering cards. I find the idea of effectively-worthless items that appear very valuable to be quite aesthetically appealing. Fake art seems cool, and I've been looking into movie prop money.

"Real" counterfeits would be an interesting collection item, but would probably deface the back/front of each bill with word "FAKE - do not spend or accept" so I could display them, but reasonably say I did not intend to spend them.
I did not know they did that to produce CO2. Very interesting!
Why not resistively heat that cooling loop? Or release it to the cabin? Turn on the de-frost?

I kinda wish my ICE car would crank everything up while engine-braking down a hill to reduce brake and fuel use.

It's a pity there is not a real answer.
At least with subway construction, it would be very interesting to see the breakdown costs for Portland vs London (for example).
Sure, but you'll eventually be able to buy these things used as well.

I didn't mean to contradict you. Speaking personally, I would go through these bouts of "trying to be good" and I could pull it off for a couple of days max before the mask dropped. I just couldn't ever stop judging, criticizing, blaming, etc. I love the analogy, by the way. Or, "I double-clicked it, it's right there! Why the fuck won't it open?"

In general capacitors have much higher power density but much lower energy densities than batteries and supercapacitors are somewhere in between.

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2012/ph240/aslani1/

Using a capacitor for the last 10% might make sense, or it might not. It's all about the specific numbers. It might be that a larger battery charged up to 90% might be better than a slightly smaller battery charged to 100% with the assistance of a capacitor. If you're adding a capacitor for power reasons anyways this might be a way to get more use out of it.
I like this in principal. I’m pretty damn predictable at the command line and far too lazy to make shortcuts.

It's trying to add some "human interest" to the story. It annoys those of us who want "just the facts". But for others, it makes the story come alive.

Just fixed it.
I'm implementing something similar right now, using parse-server. parse-server is the application layer in front of a mongo database, through which all read/write operations transit. parse-server uses "triggers" like "beforeSave" and "afterFind" that can modify the object(s) or request(s) made by or returned to the client.

I am using beforeSave to encrypt objects, and afterFind to decrypt them, using envelope encryption via AWS KMS. There is one customer master key (CMK) per deployment, one tenant data key (TDK) created per encryption operation (update or insert).

The goal is to mitigate the risk [0] of a breach of the database (due to misconfigured mongo, for example). This way, sensitive data cannot be decrypted without a simultaneous and ongoing breach of KMS credentials. Even if a hacker gets a DB dump, and somehow gets the KMS CMK and AWS credentials, in order to decrypt sensitive data they still need to make a bunch of requests to KMS, which should trigger CloudWatch alarms.

Envelope encryption has some obvious tradeoffs:

- Lose ability to filter queries on plaintext value of encrypted fields. Can be okay if all filtering operations are done client-side (e.g. in a CRM-like application)

- Speed tradeoff due to multiple round trips to KMS to decrypt data. Alternative approach: instead of decrypting in afterFind, explicitly decrypt data on field-by-field basis, in response to user action in client-side UI (e.g. "click to decrypt...").

- https://github.com/cjbischoff/kms-envelope-encryption-aws

- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/concep...

[0] Keep in mind, this only mitigates one risk; that of access to the database or a dump of it. Your security is still only as strong as your application server. In the case I described, if the user can access a sensitive field via parse-server, the user can decrypt that field. Security of sensitive data depends just as much on the application-level permission system as it does the database storage. For example, Equifax was breached because of a flaw in the application level of Apache Struts. It didn't matter how they stored sensitive fields in the database, because the user could just make queries via Apache Struts and receive the decrypted data.
Are you suggesting that an end user should be able to click a button on your site that will run client-side JavaScript spin up a Heroku instance to perform an action? That sounds dangerous and slow. How is destruction of the instance handled?

Where in Germany do you live? I was just in Munich and the U-bahn there is fantastic compared to anything I've ever seen in America. It was crowded during rush hour, but aside from that, everything was clean and organized, and the trains were really quite smooth to ride on unlike the ones in DC and NYC.

Interesting! Yep, a lot depends on the distribution you use for your random sample.

But also, any attempt at objective weighting like this is going to pick a single winner, but it's not the case that everyone is better off using the same mapping service, since you mostly want coverage for the places you travel to and that's different for each person.
> If you can't grasp this, then we can't get anywhere.

I have the impression that this is not an issue coming from me not being able to grasp this concept but from your inability to communicate efficiently without using a condescending tone.
I use the verbal ones for interviews where I haven't had time to prepare, or they are not there in person.

Really, listening to a request and following up is just one of those key things. If I had them come in and do a longer interview which I had prepared for, I still find it useful!
> Nondeterministic regenerative braking as described here seems like a serious bug in a vehicle

I wouldn't call it nondeterministic, there's a notification window alerting you to the limited reg and there's a "gauge" below the "speedometer" that shows power input/output. That being said, it's bad UX/UI and they could do a better job representing it. The power gauge is a hair thin line with no labels or scale that you must intuit the purpose of by observation.

The Gen1 Leaf isn't really better, it's just different. Theere's again a power gauge that shows power input/output. You can clearly see the scale of the gauge which is better but again you must observe it to understand it's purpose. The Leaf also has rings around each tic in the gauge that denotes if that level is accessible. When the batter approaches 100% charge or it's terribly cold you lose rings on the input side of the gauge and when the battery is exceptionally low you lose them from the output side. Again it's nice if you know what it means but the only way to know is through observation of the gauge.

I'm guessing other EVs aren't any better. We're probably going through a phase much like early automobiles where each manufacturer comes up with novel UIs to complete the feedback loop between car and driver. Eventually they'll all standardize on something universally understood.
I'm willing to share my reasoning and logic with anybody who asks, and will refine it if it lacks clarity. I enjoy having my logic tuned by other minds; it makes me even MORE logical to be challenged, even if it hurts my pride in the short-term.

Even that: if you lack trust on your part, that does not imply what someone else is doing is an invasion of your privacy. If you claim someone is invading your privacy, that is an accusation... a serious one at that. To support it you need to actually describe how that is happening, not merely how you have problems trusting people who deal with your information. I don't see how this is not obvious.
You can have information that is public domain but still secret. Open source falls under copyright; secrecy falls under whatever national security laws are in place.

I'm not sure that this is what the article is advocating, though.
Better way to do API documentation using Swagger UI
I think this is interesting in it's own right - but this in particular interests me:

"the titles will now be available [...] by subscription to libraries and higher education institutions, or for free at the library’s reading rooms in London and Yorkshire."

But not, I note, online for general consumption despite the BL being a public institution. Presumably because this is in collaboration with a commercial publisher. I assume that it will be correspondingly rights-encumbered to the extent possible.

I agree this could work with regen, but not for "supercharging".
"Road legal" has a different standard in the US. To sell a car in the US it must have airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, a backup camera (also implying a decently-large full-color display on the dashboard), and it must meet USDOT, NHTSA, and EPA standards (each of which are slightly incompatible with standards from other regions, and intentionally so as a soft trade barrier). I'm guessing that the Lada 4x4 would be too close to a "real" car to be sold as a "not-car" offroad-only vehicle but would require too many changes to be sold cost-effectively as a "real" car in the US.
To extend the analogy, I would like to have the option to go to a restaurant (site) order a salad (visit a page) and have that come the way the chef (developer) intended, with cheese (autoplay video). If I don't like this developer or restaurant's judgement I can eat somewhere else. (Or, in the web case, install an extension that blocks autoplay video.)
Wow, thanks! This is really helpful, thanks for taking the time to decipher this.
That is sort of equating a business with the road that leads to it.
OK, so you don't agree that being a bum (systematic, i am not speaking about it as a random happening event like a house fire where the documents were lost too, or running away from home violence), is a crime against public order?

>Punishment doesn’t help a woman who uses alcohol or heroin to soothe a brain and nervous system that is damaged by trauma from childhood abuse

No it doesn't, but in Belarus case, she will be sent (forcibly, but probably without a criminal conviction) to a rehab to try to fix her addiction, not to gulag or a gas chamber. And of course if she has kids, they will be taken away and put for adoption. I can't see what's wrong with this, or at least how it can be done better.

Being a bum is not the same as being poor. It is the kind of a criminal behavior and/or mental disorder. It is especially so in the deep welfare state which leaves very little chances for someone to fall out, such as Belarus is (it is a poor welfare state in the sense that most of its inhabitants are poor, but yet, it works in a way ensuring that no one is left without ways to make basic means for existence, it is not a dog-eat-dog society in any way).

Ah. There is no lawful way of becoming homeless in Belarus. Everyone is obligated to have an address of registration by law and government ensures everyone has a place (in nothing else works, it will be a bed in adult dormitory, but still). Bums are very rarely actually homeless (although their place may be a dilapidated house in a countryside in a place with no work).

My 'rigid system of right and wrong' is pretty simple: society should follow the interest of law-abiding, working, tax-paying citizens.
It makes you wonder why such a seemingly important alert is optional. Cars these days can't come without seat belts, brakes, ABS, traction control, ESC, and more, but apparently seemingly essential safety features on planes are optional??

Naive question: Couldn't they "just" simulate the regenerative braking effect by automatically engaging the brakes when you lift the foot from the accelerator, so that the behavior would be identical over all temperature ranges?
I feel lucky that I was over a year into university before Facebook arrived. I still remember socializing without Facebook or smartphones - that it's not only possible, but in some ways more intimate and fulfilling. It must be really tough for younger millennials to grow up with Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp and be confronted with quitting.
Off topic: over the next couple of years I'm looking to develop a small-scale ion-beam coating system for applying DLC as part of a single-piece-flow process cell. I currently send out my products for DLC coating, and the coater does a good job but they keep making process changes (which affects color) without warning me, so I want to bring it in-house to avoid that and to eliminate the need to batch components for them.

I would release the design as open source after it's completed. Sounds like you have some knowledge in this area so let me know if you'd be interested in collaborating!
Sure, if everything else is ideal then many plants will grow more with more CO2. Even this study's authors don't deny that; they say that other factors will often not be ideal:

"climate change is generating warmer, drier conditions that could make them grow less in many places"

Overall, conditions are definitely getting warmer on average, and many places are also getting drier, sometimes with occasional very heavy rainfalls that wash away topsoil.

Another factor I didn't mention is forest fires, brought about by drier conditions, as we've been seeing in California.
In would be interesting to see if this was done at the Benz stadium. I’m a local so I’m pretty familiar with the stadium.

I’ve done this in my younger years at Auburn and Georgia’s stadium. The hardest part was getting into student sections. In the 2000s you can pass back student tickets and get by the ushers once inside the stadium. It’s much harder once they started asking for student IDs.

Going straight through the front gate is very ballsy. I usually tried to find a weak spot in a fence or watch for others who knew weak spots. Hiding in a bathroom or dumpster before hand is a good idea too.

I’ve revently seen people at music festivals use the shotgun approach. Break through a gate with 10 or more people then run in different directions.

I can afford tickets now and I’m not really interested in getting into legal trouble anymore but I love to think of ways to do it.

This looks nice! I'm especially interested in the claims of performance.

I've also written an autojumper[0] (in rust) after being frustrated by performance issues in other autojumpers, among other reasons.

For mine, I've gone to the effort to write a test and benchmark harness, and I also ended up with about 10x faster than fasd/autojump[1].

I'm excited to benchmark pazi against z.lua, and if needed take some ideas to be even faster :)

In the beginning the author of the comment said that a broken model results in a loss of confidence which then prevents us from acting on that model and forces us to figure out a better one. They're saying that's what depression is - the downtime when you're supposed to play it safe and re-analyze the data and build a better fitting model. I can see how it can be better to not act on a broken model in case it could result in some harm, but it also stops us from gathering new data that might be important.
Or that the system fights your stomping hard on the brake by accelerating. In the Lion Air crash, the system fought the pilots by aggressively nosing down. That it was doing this because of faulty sensor data, is different than how other 737's behave in the same situation.
Notice how much more we pay vs how much they pay:

RetDec: An LLVM-based decompiler
The cool thing about Istio is that you do not have to modify your current K8s application. You simply need to reroute who your microservices call. So instead of calling another service or message queue; you configure all of your calls to call the envoy proxy. Then the proxy takes over and gets configured according to the control plane definitions.

One of the great things about Istio is that it is a super interesting and informative way to better understand the Kubernetes, Docker, Helm stack.

When I first started learning Kubernetes it wasn't clear to me how a small startup or company could leverage the power of Kubernetes because in reality you need some scale to make it worthwhile.

However, once you can play with, observe and better understand some application infrastructure which sits on top of Kubernetes like Istio the light goes on in your head and things get much more interesting.

Here is a really nice short simple introduction to Istio

This specifically addresses the air brakes you're hearing:

>Dynamic braking alone is insufficient to stop a locomotive, as its braking effect rapidly diminishes below about 10 to 12 miles per hour (16 to 19 km/h). Therefore, it is always used in conjunction with the regular air brake. This combined system is called blended braking.

Judging etc. seems to me to correlate with blood sugar... So I don't think anyone can or even should try to completely exorcise their dark side since, I mean to say, it is a symptom and not a cause.

Totally agree with this. We need to create shells based popular languages so language syntax stops being a barrier to entry for new people. How many times do we search for "if statement bash" or "function bash" because the if and function syntax isn't modern and isn't easy to remember?

Transforming the shell is a great opportunity for a new project, and as you said should probably should be done in Python or JS. Lua is a good option as well for its elegance, though it's a bit less popular than the others.

As for Z.lua, this is an interesting project and I really like seeing modern languages enriching what we do every day on the command line. Very cool!
Perhaps we could just stop making weapons software? I mean, someone needs to go first.
