One thing that annoys me about static typing is that most of the CRUD programming I do merely martials data back and forth between the screen and database. Only a fraction is processed, or should be processed by the application.

Things like null-ability, base-type, and max length should be supplied by the database and therefore not echoed in source code per the Don't-Repeat-Yourself principle (DIY). If the screen validation needs to know such info, it can get it from the database dynamically. But, our stacks don't typically do this for unknown reasons, and thus we reinvent the field attribute wheel in app code.

The most common use case for SGX is Digital Restrictions Management. The purpose being to deny ownership. You do not own these devices, for they obey Intel and not you. You may do with them what Intel permits you to do.

GPDR, prviacy, etc, these are side projects to the actual purposes of "trusted computing". Its so your property DISTRUSTS you at all times.

- the author suffers from inflammatory bowel disease. Things she learned adjusting to chronic illness:

1- Mental pain is underappreciated. Examples: stress over how to pay for care, anxiety over loss of autonomy, fear of death or disability. Consider getting a therapist.

2- You grieve the passing of your previous self. You may have to give up career goals, hobbies, and family plans, and adjust to a new version of yourself.

3- Everyone offers you advice, without realizing you research your disease ad nauseam. (Advice to friends: don't offer advice to people who don't ask for it)

4- Other people won't care to research your disease. You need to be proactive about researching for your own good, then teaching others about your disease.

5- Finding a community of patients like you helps a lot. It makes you feel less alone, lets you ask questinos, and connects you with resources.

Yes, but the only way to keep that freedom is to use it responsibly. In democracy, you're entrusting the people with control of the government. This is why we have public education, to teach people our principles and responsible ways to exercise their freedom. Some people will find their own way and go outside the lines of respectability, sometimes for good, sometimes for ill. Society depends on most people not doing this though. Take guns for example. We have very permissive gun laws, which is nice as long as people don't use them to shoot up schools for example.

It used to be that while we had free speech, publishing companies had standards of respectability. Newspapers weren't going to print smut even if it would sell more papers for example.

The problem with YouTube is that it's basically a newspaper editor with no ethics, it only cares about selling papers/maximizing on screen time. My son has recently been into watching videos of the moon landings/the lunar rover. If I leave YouTube running, the recommender will automatically start playing moon hoax conspiracy videos. What's worse is that it uses this same asinine recommender algorithm that tries to get me to watch as much YouTube as possible even though I pay them $18 a month. Given that they already have my money and aren't showing me ads, I would appreciate it if the recommender had my best interests at heart rather than just showing me videos that an algorithm thinks will addict me.
Okay I'm feeling left out here. I've no idea what this is. Can anyone please explain what is this and what is its use?
Happy they designed the robot with a replaceable battery! I received an Ollie as a gift back in 2014, and the battery is flat-out dead. Wish I could still fiddle with it.

I’m a bit surprised Sphero is using Kickstarter for this campaign — they’re a large company now with access to plenty of cash, I assume. Pre-orders have usually been a part of their independent product launches (i.e. the products that aren’t Lightning McQueen), so I could see this as an extension of that strategy with a maker/hacker/DIY aesthetic. Crowds out Kickstarter and makes it harder for the smaller operations to get discovered though.

In general (and take this with a grain of salt because I don’t know robots, only familiar with Sphero’s history), I think Sphero accidentally positioned themselves super well for building out products like these. They started with a robot-in-a-ball. Literally a two-wheeled robot driving like a hamster in a ball. In order to support a user-friendly driving experience with the original Sphero, they invested in the accelerometer and gyroscopic sensors and the way they provide feedback to the drive system. So even when the wheels would slip inside the ball, the robot would detect the change in heading and adjust to suit the driver’s original intent. They mention briefly in the video how this RVR bot can hold its heading on bumpy terrain, and I assume that’s the same platform at work. It’s neat to me because this feedback mechanism sounds like the kind of thing that’s hard to patch onto a robotic platform produced at scale and get it right, to the extent that folks won’t bother. They kinda got that one “for free” by validating that folks will buy a ball, and it looks like it’s been a solid platform for other variations on driving robots. (But again, I don’t know much about robots. This could be standard practice for all I know.)

I think a more interesting question to ask is: Why do we care who is responsible for our success?

Is it so that we know how to engineer more success? Or, is it to validate our egos? And, if the latter, aren't we asking the wrong question?

The UK had a 3 day week for a short period when coal supply was restricted (because of a miners strike). The economy was in a bit of a mess then so I'm not sure you would find any useful information from it.

When I was a young buck, my dream schedule was two 20s (that's a 20-hour shift, followed by a day off, followed by another 20-hour shift, followed by a 4-day weekend). That's not as appealing as it used to be, I seem to require more sleep these days. And my schedule has gotten pretty flexible, which I enjoy. But if I had to go back to something rigid, I'd still take four 10s over five 8s.
I sense BS. As is the case here, a mediocre mathematician using the race card to score some political points.

Wow, you sure took that to a great place. Can't imagine why you'd have a hard time having this kind of conversation with people.
Okay I definitely agree with you in situations where people are being invalidating.

Tone is hard to read on the internet. Personally I read that comment as reassuring rather than invalidating. (Of course it wasn't directed at me). I get anxiety quite regularly and have battled depression since age 10 after experiencing something very traumatic. When someone manages to successfully reassure me, I'll take it. It can help break me out of my digging.

>I do not think any race is inferior/superior to any other and as such people of all races should be treated equally in all fields of professional achievement

>Conservatives and Liberals should openly talk about these issues for the common good

What's difficult to process here is that you lay out a cogent argument--or at least a coherent rationale--for why you oppose affirmative action. Essentially, you believe no race is superior to others. That's great.

But, of course, people can plainly see that you are excluding the actual reason that affirmative action exists--having nothing to do with the inherent features of any race, and everything to do with historical racial inequities. And, it is very difficult to believe that you are unaware of these inequities (or their bases for affirmative action, for that matter).

Now, you can make the argument that you don't believe affirmative action is the appropriate remedy for past racial injustices. But, that's not the argument you're making. Instead, you ignore this salient factor and instead posit some saccharine, red-herring rationale for eliminating it. And, this must be purposeful. I mean, surely you don't earnestly believe that affirmative action is intended to mitigate inherent racial inferiorities (or do you?).

So, given this, it appears that you are not earnestly interested in "talking about these issues for the common good", to say the least.
This article reminds me of the first time I had to get a class C (commercial) truck license. I work as a diesel engine mechanic, and in order to test our work, or diagnose problems, sometimes we drive the trucks themselves. Ive driven school buses before.

School buses are the black sheep of heavy duty trucks. they need a pretty good duty cycle on the engine, and cant cost much because cash strapped states rarely chip in for stuff like tinted windows or turbos. Durability takes precedence over performance, so you have a 26,000lb vehicle up to 45ft long built on a lowest-bidder chassis. Brakes are commonly "whatever" and its somewhat rare to see jake style engine braking provided. there are no luxuries like low air alarms, TPMS, or over-angle alarms for hills so you need to be a damn good driver considering youve got up to 90 screaming kids as your cargo.

they are miserable in corners, and because the rear axle is fixed the offset considerably affects your turning radius. Id rather park a 53' commercial diesel than try to back a schoolbus into a spot.

TL;DR: Steve picked easily the hardest truck to drive in my opinion, other than a tanker.

This is like all those politicians and journalists lamenting the rise in violence, when both war and violent crime are actually at historically low levels. We are today in a golden age of science, where people's beliefs are on average the most fact-based they have ever been. You wouldn't believe the ridiculous things people believed in the past.

Yes, we have a long way to go and we should continue to seek improvement, but don't try to tell me that things are getting worse when that's clearly not the case. Or at least provide some evidence that's not anecdotal.
My first trip out to the valley working for a company out there someone turned to me and asked "So what do people do out there?" I thought he meant "for fun" but he meant regarding jobs or a career.

> The only thing I find inconvenient in Python is you can't simply put every function (including every member functions of a class - that's what I would love to do) in a separate file without having to import every one of them manually.

When you create a .py file, the CPython interpreter treats it as a "module". You can basically treat a Python "module" as if it were a class because the global variables are automatically scoped unless you import them explicitly. You could actually write some code that would allow you to instantiate the entire module in the same manner you would instantiate a class. Though, I have no idea where this pattern would be useful.

It’s not just about the money, there is also the intangible experience when it comes to information and family education. I’d argue that will put an even a stronger influence on a kid’s mindset so if a parent is giving a 15k loan to a child it doesn’t mean the kid isn’t helped significantly to bootstrap her otherwise. On the contrary, it feels even more like a status symbol of demonstration from the parents to illustrate to society how confident they were about the kids paying the loan back.
I've done a lot of charger teardowns, and very cheap chargers always violate UL safety rules. It's a combination of cost (e.g. triple-insulated transformers), it's hard to fit clearance distances into a small charger, sloppy manufacturing, and they don't seem to even try.

So Apple removed Facebook login capabilities or they just used the web-based login instead? I did this with a native iOS application before, just used the web-based login while checking for the completion hook and it was about the same experience as using all of Facebook's native SDK's while keeping the app size down and very little possibility for snooping on FB's side.

How to Create a Social Media App
Social media apps have taken up a great part of our lives and the application market already, and their number continues to grow. With the increase of smartphone usage worldwide there have emerged the opportunities for social networks with more advanced features.

For the solar, truly eternal case (which isn't strictly possible because sooner or later you're going to lose a bearing or blow a capacitor or something), I think the limiting factor would be less on the aerodynamic side and more on the power-to-weight ratio you're able to achieve with solar.

A lot of that is going to depend on things like power system efficiency, latitude, and altitude which makes it hard to give a definitive yea or nay on whether this is feasible. I'm not really an expert in power systems but from an aerodynamic perspective it seems at least within the realm of possibility.

Like anything, the details of the implementation are going to make it or break it but there's not enough concrete info in the video.

> A recent study from Merrill Lynch and Age Wave reported that 79 percent of the parents surveyed are providing financial support to their adult children, at an average $7,000 a year

Wow, this can’t be right. I mean I’ve had friends whose parents paid for their university and stuff like that, and mine helped me a little bit with tuition at a cheap state school, too, for which I’m grateful. But ongoing financial support, year after year? And 4 out of 5 parents? Yow! Guess I’m naive, but I had no idea it was that common. Maybe age is part of it. I was lucky enough to go to uni before the days of 6 figure student loan debt.

I know exactly one adult whose parents pay for all their bills, including rent. We’re friends so I give him hell about it. “You’re a grown-ass man with a decent job. Let mommy and daddy retire already!” I think once you start down those tracks and get used to the “extra funding” lifestyle, it’s hard to get off the train.

The irrelevance of physical location is one of the advantages of the Internet; adding that to addresses just to provide an unique key seems absurd. Would a company have to change all their addresses if they move their headquarters? What if the country's street system changes? And what about individuals?

I don't see a need to change the current system, but I'd rather move to random strings than tying them to some irrelevant and mutable piece of data.

That might be how newspapers win on quality, but it is not how they will win eyeballs. Clickbait works. Low quality content sells volume. Biased sources are extremely popular because and not in spite of their bias. The fundamental problem here isn't the lack of quality content, it's that we're deeply flawed and easily hackable creatures.
Maybe names that have obvious “generic” squatter value—i.e. names that (at the time of their attempted purchase) describe entire verticals, rather than uniquely identifying a business—should be put up for auction rather than being first-come-first-served.

(That would also include names that describe a vertical that someone tried to trademark into being the name of a business anyway: pets.com and the like. If that trademark isn’t already well known, then this is just an attempt to end-run the auction system, rather than a valid claim.)

Given that TLDs can decide their own allocation policies, I’m surprised none of them have tried this yet.
