I think Mozilla's privacy scandals are much worse than that screenshot service.
I've just read i.e https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1096098366545522688 and even though it's "best of 25" (I guess cherry-picked by a human) - this is mind-blowing. I am actually having a very hard time believing this is legit generated text.
I've used Dvorak for ~10.5 years (currently on my MacBook, Model M, and Android) and I definitely don't regret it at all. Couldn't tell you my WPM offhand from either now or 10 years ago, but I type pretty quickly and have no issues touch typing.

I might not necessarily recommend it to anyone else unless you're bored or have a good reason to invest in typing more quickly, but I don't recall the adjustment being very painful aside from a week or two of slow typing at the end of the summer break before my sophomore year of high school.

The only real downside is that writing code on someone else's machine is a PITA. On the other hand, it's a good deterrent to others asking to borrow my laptop (no one ever does more than once).
Things like this are my problem with the pull style payment systems. It would be nice for online systems if you were given an invoice, and you had to tell your bank to push the money to the other party. (or confirm the pull). For recurring bills that are always under a certain amount, he was a customer can give a business some limited amount they are allowed to pull every month.

In a system where we turn over our payment information to all these companies and they can accidentally pull any kind of money from your account, it just leads to problems.
This is also the main argument that keeps me on the side of SPA for our own project, at the moment. Our product is a specialized database with a fancy GUI on top, but we have customers that only use the database through its API; by using it ourselves for our frontends we make sure everything is doable that way.

The other argument is that frontend developers are looking for SPA work because they see SPA work everywhere. There's an element of everybody having to go with the flow...
I find it ironic that he announced this on medium.

Anyway, anything that supports the decentralization of the web is fine by me.

(And yes, blogs still benefit from a centralized resource, the search engine, but that is far less intrusive than a platform like medium.)
Funnily enough, it was introduced as a euphemism to "idiot" or "cretin", primarily in a medical context, because those other words were considered too unsavoury.

Now, I daresay "retard" is considered worse than "idiot".
I've been a colemak user for a number of years, which has similar pros and cons.

I would say that it is not worth it for most people to change. You could get a lot of the benefit of colemak, with none of the pain, by converting your caps lock key into a second backspace.

The benefits are that it is slightly more comfortable, and you'll have less people trying to use your computer. Also, prior to learning colemak, I had not been typing fully correctly, and learning it forced me to realize that I had been using the wrong fingers for certain keys.

The downsides are the pain of switching, and the likelihood that you'll actually forget how to touch type on QWERTY.

And unless you buy expensive new keyboards with native colemak support, then things like BIOS screens, virtual machines, and so on will likely switch back to QWERTY on you, without much warning.

But on the other hand, buying a quality keyboard is actually a solid investment, considering how much time people spend at the computer. Personally, I recommend a heavy mechanical tenkeyless board. Heavy so that it won't move around. Tenkeyless to save desk space and so you don't need to reach your arm far just to use the mouse. And mechanical because it is much nicer to type on.

Rtl-sdrs are great, probably one of the best accidental discoveries I've seen. So many things being sent out from 0-1.5GHz that you can sniff. One that I see often are the unencrypted pagers broadcasting patient details, hotel security information etc. Then you've also got amateur radio, air traffic control, GSM, key fobs, weather stations, satellites, all within the reach of anyone with $15 to spare.
You might be able to tailor things to individual people very specifically based on what their views are and what might push their buttons. Like spearfishing but for propaganda. Not with this exact tool, you'd probably need some more knobs, but a similar one. This would be impractical to do at scale without computer assistance.
They try different solutions, before the impact gets bigger. I guess Chrome will introduce sometime in the future a disable ad blocker feature, so sites can ask the user to disable the ad blocker to continue and the browser will pop up a confirmation for the user, so the user can simply choose Allow without knowing the technical details of how to disable the ad blocker.
There are a few strategies you can use, dependent on the time of year -- they don't like it cold (assuming you don't give them a chance to adapt), nor overly hot, and the suitcases can also be quarantined. I wouldn't drag them into core living areas of your space, right off.

Mens rea means you intended to do the criminal thing that you did, not necessarily that you knew it was criminal. Homicide is homicide because you intended to kill someone, even if you didn't know that was a crime; if you did not intend to kill someone, you lack the mens rea but may still be guilty of negligent homicide or some related crime.

Certain crimes do require knowledge of the law, like tax evasion: the tax code is assumed to be so complicated that to be guilty of criminal tax evasion it must be proven that you knew you were evading taxes. Wikipedia has a summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea#Ignorance_of_the_law_...
I would really like to avoid app stores, too. Unfortunately F-Droid has been unreliable for me - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ is down right now, for instance.
sure, i agree, except that they also apply this 'narrowing down' logic when insufficient or no results are returned, thinking the query needs to be more specific in order to work. i have observed the following sort of behaviour:

1. entering 'invisible marmalade teapot' and getting no results
2. changing to 'invisible marmalade teapot with tartan cosy', again nothing
3. so 'invisible marmalade teapot with tartan cosy in outer space', ditto

you get the idea...? it's just like in the real world, when you might go to a bookshop and say

You: do you have that new crime novel in stock?
Bookseller: er, i don't know which one you mean?
Y: the new crime novel by john grisham, pelican something or other?
B: oh, right, yes, here it is!

and everyone is happy.

default OR in a search engine would mean my first example eventually starting to return results about transparent space coffee pots with tartan cosies, ignoring the first few terms but the rest match, which is often helpful, particularly if you're doing an exploratory search for something where you aren't sure of the exact details.
Even I would hesitate to pick up upholstered furniture from the side of the road.
Wrong, i works for me. Anyway, youtube is toxic and waste of time.
privacy.com allows creating credit cards with preset spending limits, either one-time or recurring. I use it for subscription services. (No affiliation just a happy user.)
It seems disingenuous that this article fails to quote examples of GPT-2’s stunning results, or give any contrasting results from BERT to support the claim that this is all normal and expected progress.

Like many, I was viscerally shocked that the results were possible, the potential to further wreck the Internet seemed obvious, and an extra six months for security actors to prepare a response seemed like normal good disclosure practice. OpenAI warned everyone of an “exploit” in which text humans can trust to be human-generated, and then announced they would hold off on publishing the exploit code for 6 months. This is normal in computer security and I’m taken aback at how little the analogy seems to be appreciated.
Yeah, I have the same issue with "Go", so I append "lang" right next to it, i.e. "Golang". I can find projects/issues/solutions/whatever easier where they use the term "Golang" vs. "Go". This is how it is.

One Thing – The art of becoming result oriented
> - The _whole point_ is that our model is not special and that other people can reproduce and improve upon what we did. We hope that when they do so, they too will reflect about the consequences of releasing their very powerful text generation models.

If this is your whole point, then I think you are missing something fundamental. Implementing these models doesn't require reflection, or introspection, or any sort of ethical or moral character whatsoever; and even if it did, all that will happen eventually is someone (without the technical background) will simply throw a lot of money at someone else (with the technical background, but who needs to, you know, eat, and pay rent, and so on) to implement it. You are fooling yourself if you think your stance makes a single mote of difference in this arms race.
> clearly you did not work with enough clients to understand hourly is painful, invoices never paid in time, and you will get micromanaged very quickly.

As a full-time solo web developer for the last 8 years, I disagree and find your comment distastefully dismissive.

Hourly billing can provide flexibility, transparency and freedom. I have never had a problem getting paid for any of my hourly invoices and I have never had any arguments about my hours.

Different companies, projects and developers have different desires, needs and dynamics.

I totally buy that there are a large number of freelance developers who are billing hourly and would be better off switching to billing daily or weekly.

However, to claim that billing hourly is never the right choice is idiotic and naive. Hourly, daily, weekly and per project billing all have their upsides and downsides and work better in some circumstances than others.
I’m a buyer and made a couple purchase last night on Etsy. All my credit card info was saved on checkout with no verification required to use the card. Surprised me in comparison to how Amazon or other retailers typically require the full card number be re-entered on checkout. I understand this is different but seems like a bad convenience trade off.

As if it's somehow common?

The main other known examples ares Julia and Ada (which is in honor of a real person).

The Tiobe index of top-100 languages doesn't have even one female name apart from the above and a language called Alice -- so, like, 3 in 100. In the past there was also Miranda and a couple others. Nowhere near the 5% of names.

For the complaint to even be remotely justifiable female names should have been around 30% or more of programming language names...
This is very cool to see, and something that should have been at the heart of the EU monetary union project, we're it to serve "the people" and not just "the corporations, in the hope that trickles down".
Very similar to the just unjustified and unnecessary (and hopefully soon to be gone) telco cross border BS.

Of course, if the cost of currency exchange is estimated, it won't necessarily solve the problem I faced transferring money from a German to a Swedish account to pay my rent at the time: not knowing exactly how much of the sent money would end up arriving, and how much would be used up for fees, I had to resort to other payment services with much higher fees... This is purely a UI problem of the banks I tried, but that also means apparently the almighty market does not give them enough incentive to solve problems that are not those of rich people. Who'd have guessed.
Sort of on the same path right now.
Biggest obstacle I'm running into is that most of the work I'm finding is through recruiters, which of course means that a chunk of the money goes to the recruiter before I receive it.

The rates are still decent, but I'm not working with enough of a financial buffer to compensate for the downtime I'm having. I'm brand new at this though and I expected this sort of difficulty curve to start out with.

On a side note, if you've got an Angular or react project you are working on in the Atlanta area or remote and need some help, reach out to me :)

I generally tend to write inline functions as closures, which I feel are a bit more flexible (you can assign to them, for example) and syntactically lightweight. One thing to note is that closures cannot have generic parameters, so you will have to write a function in this case. Another annoyance I have with closures is that they require explicit annotation of their result type if you use them to encapsulate complex initialization; I’m still convinced that the compiler does know the actual type but forces me to put it there to spite me (or, more likely, it’s required for clarity).
Charge them with inciting an entirely preventable epidemic.
Interesting read. Thanks for posting.
Some manufacturers "get it"

timbuk2 fixed my backpack 2+years into the deal. It was a close to zero paper overhead engagement. If I'd known what their intended fix was, I would have done it myself (it was some simple stitching mainly) but the point is they did repair, not replace. and I'm content.
Gendered "feminine nouns" doesn't mean anything if they're from another language like German or Portuguese.

In those languages almost half of nouns are gendered, that doesn't make it a "female's name".
Hiring Full-Stack JavaScript Developer – Blockchain – Remote Position
I never really understood the obsession about WPM that some programmers have.

You're a programmer, not a court reporter. You don't need +200 WPM. You need to think before/during/after writing each one of the characters you type. And more often than not, you actually spend +5min of 20 lines of code, so your +200 WPM ability doesn't matter at all.
Tesla isn't an outlier; the problem is far more systemic than I'd wager most realize.

E.g. Helm[1] is the official publisher of OEM technical manuals for at least 23 vehicle makes--the same manuals used by their respective authorized service shops. Something happened circa 2012-2013 that caused most of these manufacturers to stop allowing direct purchase of their service manuals by the general public, including Acura, Lexus, and Honda being the 3 that I've kept a close eye on over the years.

Which brings us back to the problem of banning AI weapons.
I find it surprising that a person who does not know touch typing would be interested of Dvorak in the first place; I mean for hunt'n'peck the layout does not really matter that much so they could have not understood the relative benefit of Dvorak all that well, and on the other hand learning touch typing (in any layout) would be the obvious first step. But I guess there is all sorts of people.

If you are interested in something not QWERTY, Dvorak is not the only game in town, and indeed many more modern alternatives (such as Colemak-DH) are supposed to be better by almost any metric. Of course that also means you are going deeper in to the niche, and there will be even less support out of the box for those.

If you are European programmer and want a quick easy ergonomics win, consider modifying your layout to put punctuation etc to more US aligned positions, or wherever they would be convenient. I do recommend following the US layout though. The punctuation crazyness in European layouts is one of my pet peeves.

If a recruiter tells you the name of the company up front and you are really interested, you might ignore their message and just apply to the company in which case they don’t get their referral fee.
Is your game marketed? If you do not have people to download it, it won't download itself. You'll have like 5 downloads even if it's free. If you think there's enough people that want to download it for it to be much more profitable if you make it p2p go for it
Being able to say no thanks is great in general.

You always get the best deals when you don't need that "something" right now.
I've been typing dvorak primarily for about 20 years, also since I was in high school, and I highly recommend it.

I agree that switching is a pain in the ass. It will make you essentially unable to type for about 2-4 weeks.

Ctrl-C/V/X is a valid concern. I fixed it by mapping mouse buttons to copy/paste, and also getting an Advantage2 Kinesis into which I've programming custom keybinding for Undo/Redo/Copy/Cut/Paste.

I can still touch type qwerty and often do at work on co-workers' keyboards. I'm pretty slow though, about 40wpm (100 on dvorak), and I usually have to look at the keyboard.

I also use qwerty on my phone - I tried dvorak and also found it to be a hindrance there. That makes sense, since dvorak is designed specifically for ten-fingered typing.

The primary benefit that the author of this post completely overlooked is comfort. It just feels... easy and comfortable, in a way that Qwerty doesn't even come close to. Whenever I am forced to type Qwerty I feel like I am doing finger calisthenics. It's tiring. My wrists never hurt after full days of typing, and I'm hopeful that the reduced motion and strain will help me avoid carpal tunnel or other hand/finger issues.

I plan to spend my entire career and much of my free time in front of a computer. Why on earth would I subject myself to anything less than the best interface system possible? That would be like a professional chef using the $20 knife block from the grocery store, or your doctor using WebMD to try and diagnose you.
And what do they do above oceans? Interpolate? Or are there fallback sources of flights positions?
I used Dvorak for 5+ years. I eventually stopped for a number of reasons:

* Occasionally coworkers or friends will need to type on my keyboards and I grew tired of having to switch back and forth.

* Similarly, using someone else's computer would require me to type QWERTY anyway.

* I've been trying to reduce the amount of custom configuration I have to maintain and backup to the bare minimum.

* It didn't make a difference for me ergonomically. Typing for a long time still took a toll. I saw a much better improvement simply by occasionally changing my sitting position.
You are confused as to the definition of a “structured transaction”. There is no issue with performing an immediate rollover. Rolling over IRA contributions into a Roth is not only legal, it is explicitly endorsed by the IRS.
Well I am going to send my barbour A7 jacket off to be patched didn't rewax it and it dried out when I was in hospital.
One instance in which it's still used is for retarders, a form of brake often used on trucks and trains. Some forms, such as the jake brake, are very loud so you'll occasionally see towns put up signs that say "no jake brakes" or "no brake retarders" (because 'jake brake' is a generalized trademark.) As you might expect, these later signs can turn into a source of amusement...
The talking unicorns piece was shockingly good. That is at least as coherent of a news story than the average human could easily invent about it.

Virtual ChIP-seq: Predicting transcription factor binding with the transcriptome
You're building your mathematical model based on the knowledge you have, which is from the data you have, and there is still the same risk that your theory won't generalize to new observations.
Obviously because it alludes at the "books of secret knowledge" of yore, hard to find books, compiled by masters of some domain and filled with useful knowledge.

It's like calling your Chinese restaurant "Golden Palace". It's not golden and its not a palace. It's just meant to convey "typical chinese", "luxury", etc.
Why coroutine is long lived? I image this as event loop machinery just stops processing events and all sockets are closed [by OS].
"Technical Recruiting is Broken" is very click-baity IMO, as the "is broken" bon mot has become rather popular and reveals absolutely nothing about what the article is about.
Well, in our case moving from server side MVC to SPA approach has drastically increased productivity and stability of our applications.

MVC approach was a hairball of code where 2/3 was dealing with synchronization of state between client and server, and only 1/3 being related to actual application logic.

Clean separation of frontend SPA and backend API made both sides simpler and more robust.

I would also wholeheartedly recommend separating the development into two teams (frontend / backend) . It makes both pieces of the application even more robust due to both teams guarding the interface with the other part even better.
It didn’t, and doing an immediate rollover is not considered structuring since rolling over IRA contributions into a Roth is explicitly legal.
Start contributing to Angular or React core, reach out to developers on the team or conference sponsors, let them know you’re available for consulting, put up a targeted “Angular.js consulting” page...

Every company you reach thru the recruiters, if you make a good impression on the employees there tell them to reach out to you directly to hire you again if they move on.
title is a bit click baity. It's not broken just poorly done. I agree with a lot of the thoughts though.
I recently invested [1] in a leather backpack, that's hand-made here in Finland. These things are built to last and I expect to get far more lifetime out of it than any of the lightweight crap I've bought from major-brands in the past.

I've generally had poor experiences when dealing with clothing/equipment manufacturer warranties. Some claim lifetime warranties, then don't stock parts for repairs. Others will just say they can't help after a year or two. A lot of modern products aren't designed to last.

That's exactly how it works where I live.

The businesses sends the invoices electronically, and I get an e-invoice in the bank and have to confirm it before it is being paid. Nobody has access to my account but me.

One can also set up auto-payments with limits per business, like one limit for the energy bill and another for rent.
Or, you know, an enticing name.

Not everything has to be "clickbait". Let's keep it to those who make money off of news posts, and blatant examples like "You won't believe what Lindsay Lohan did...".
