It's a utility device, not an entertainment device.

A good toolbox is filled with balanced tools. That there isn't some hyper-addictive time-suck application isn't a bad thing.

However, if it's a case of no one actually using the device, then there might be cause for concern.
FWIW I was in the same boat for many years, first on Windows then OS X. I'd learn a Linux trick or two then lose momentum and more importantly lose confidence that I could get around the CLI (and just as important, the maze of config files).

What made a huge difference for me was setting up Arch Linux on my XPS 15 laptop. Following the install guide[1] forced me to go through the process of standing up a functioning Linux desktop from a much lower level starting point than I'd ever done with Ubuntu or CentOS or even Slackware. The whole experience reminded me of the first few times I built PCs as a kid: At first they were intimidating boxes full of complex circuit boards and imposing nests of ribbon cable, but putting a few together demystified all that in a hurry. Setting up my Arch laptop had the same result as it relates to Linux configuration in general and command line operations in particular.

In other words, ignore the problem and do something else that gives a warm fuzzy feeling. Replacing milk with a more expensive, processed alternative has nothing to do with a plastic bottle.

The global solution to reducing plastic packaging is to reduce the use of plastic packaging, mostly by using cardboard and glass instead. That's driven by manufacturing, not consumer action.
Not really. It just requires HTTPS mitm. It is harder to have a CA that can create a cert that looks like it was issued by the original website you are trying to achieve but this is standard practice in gov agencies to mitm HTTPS communication. The mitigation of these sort of attacks is called certificate pinning.

Understood. However, combative language strongly degrades the constructiveness of discussion, so avoiding it is most important for issues (e.g., life and death) where constructive discussion is most needed.
> The collection of systems on that flight deck misrepresented the state of the aircraft to the people flying it.

This is definitely the case. Forcing humans, in an extremely stressful situation, to reverse engineer what different sensors are reading (or if they're broken), what their own control inputs are doing and what the computers are thinking/doing based solely on perhaps-misleading computerized annunciations and observed aircraft behavior doesn't end well.

Critical measurements -- like angle of attack -- must be shown explicitly (a recommendation of the BEA) to the humans and not solely reserved for computer-consumption. Furthermore, there is likely room for better presenting the current state of the sensors that affect the flight control computers, the status of all the automation, and the current flight control laws to reduce the "what is it doing now?" factor that is unfortunately so dominant in these incidents that combine aircraft upsets with system malfunctions, maybe as a synoptic diagram on its own ECAM page -- not crammed onto the PFDs for a pilot actively flying the aircraft.

Cache hit ratio increases with the size of cache and decreases with the number of "hot" items regardless of cache eviction policy - LRU, FIFO, etc. Cache hit ratio reaches 100% when cache size becomes large enough to hold all the "hot" data.
It would be great to see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/fastcache in the benchmark results. It is faster and it uses less memory comparing to other solutions for caching the same amount of data.
I think the problem with your app on Alexa is the interaction model - if your app could push to my Alexa so I can open an article on my phone and then say "Alexa read this article", or use the iOS share menu and share to your app on my Alexa that'd be pretty nice. But I don't see myself saying "Alexa, tell Articulu to read ...." if that's the interaction model it'd force.
It’s a tough market when spending $5 bucks/month brings such anguish. Even if you only save 20hrs of development time per year at the USA minimum wage, it should be worth it. Is breakeven analysis really that difficult for so many people? For god sakes, somebody make a breakeven analysis app.

I agree with you -- it's a fad product with limited utility.

The inability of any of these solutions to identify the user in a meaningful way or interact usefully without involving the whole room kneecaps the utility of the products beyond actions that you take in a public space.

Would you be happier if I called it a knee jerk reaction?

The fact of the matter is that 2 is a pretty bad sample size to draw conclusions from and we don't yet have ANY idea what caused this most recent crash. It's easy to say "just ground them" when it's not going to affect you.

Throwing medium sized wrenches into the global transportation network has very real costs and shouldn't be done lightly. People's lives are disrupted, sometimes catastrophically. The lives lost already are a sunk cost. It comes down to a calculation of risk vs the cost (in human terms, in case that wasn't obvious) of the disruption.

Unfortunately it's impossible to have an adult discussion about that kind of thing on the internet.
I use both uMatrix and uBlock on Firefox for Android. I must say, compared to desktop both are comparatively awkward to use. It'd be nice if Firefox could overhaul the way extensions are handled on Android.

As an example the reload button in the extensions screen does not work (it doesn't seem to open in the context of the current page). As well I needed ages to find out that after opening the uMatrix screen I had to tap the phones back button to get back to the originating page.
Another strawman. The existence of biological sexes other than the two most common (male and female) doesn't negate the existence of male and female.

Biological sex isn't actually a spectrum (it's not one-dimensional), but using that analogy, it's bimodal, not binary.
> I think Firefox/Mozilla is still a bit on the "too big" side

One of the machines I use is an old Dell Latitude D620 (2006, Intel Core2 CPU T7200 2.00GHz[0]) on a debian base. I can tell you from personal experience, on this machine, that Mozilla's latest Quantum Browser is heads above Chrome and their "clones".

It is so quick to load (even loaded with extensions), it replaced Pale Moon as the default browser for this laptop. I was stunned at the performance improvements in Quantum. I remain surprised, every single day, that the modern web has been made available on a laptop that's 13 years old.

All other Chrome-like browsers (Chromium, Opera, Vivaldi, etc) take much longer to load, cause the cpu to throttle (fans kick in) which can lead to overheating and shutdown issues. They are essentially unusable on that machine. Firefox Quantum, otoh, is snappy on this machine.

I say this because I'm genuinely curious by the "too big" comment. I honestly find it puzzling (unless you're comparing a modern, full-featured browser to Dillo or Links2/GUI: both of which are favs of mine for their use cases).

I had turned my back on Firefox for a few years because of performance issues, caching problems. They didn't just correct these issues, they've done so in a way few software upgrades have ever managed to do in my experience (dating back three decades) and have blown past their competitors from a purely performance standpoint.

Pretty much same, the Wink integration lets us turn on/off lights and do other things like “Turn on Movie Theater” which dims certain lights and turns off all others.

Handbook for Spoken Mathematics (1983) [pdf]
The big issue here is how much of the existence of this system, the desire to NOT make OTHER changes to the plane that would inhibit the pitch-up tendencies, and the lack of necessity for another type rating were all driven by simply an attempt to skirt existing regulations and save Boeing and Southwest a ton of money.

The reality is that this was the whole deal with the Max. All of these decisions were made in a context were avoiding the requirement for a new certification or type rating for pilots was a must. We can't avoid the reality that had the necessity to skirt regs not been there, Boeing would have definitely come up with a different solution from an engineering perspective.
I think we still don't have a good model for how voice UI needs to work. The equivalent of GUI for mouse-and-keyboard machines or tap-and-swipe interfaces for mobile.

If we did have a UI model, I imagine we'd be controlling car stereos and driver-mode mobile phones with voice already.

This is the mode how I run Windows with WinSplit Revolution.

It doesn't change anything by default, but with alt-keypad I move certain windows to the upper left, upper right, bottom right, bottom left and so most open applications have their exact position, but everything else is floating.

I guess I'd use a full blown tiling WM if there was one, though, I don't really see any downsides once you configured it to your preference. So bad for new machines, good for regular use. (for me).
Interesting read, but I think the first part would benefit from a detour toward interfaces, why they are not good enough to solve the sort problem, and how contracts can help.

IIRC it is along those lines :

You could define a `Lesser` interface with a method `Less(Lesser) bool`, and implement this interface on what you want to sort, but then you would have no way to assert at compile time that x and y are of the same type in `x.Less(y)`.

As I understand them, contracts allow you to assert things like this.

That's slightly inconsistent with the OP's interpretation because the vulnerability would be traded so it could be exploited (presumably), but by the OP's definition that would make it no longer be a 0day.

It depends on what your threat model is. A lot of people prefer the no doubt privacy tire fire that Chrome is over the security tire fire that Firefox has become. It's one thing to trust Google, quite another to trust Mozilla and ever more 3rd parties which it adds to Firefox.

In my old version of Linux I've been using straight Firefox primarily for one-off financial transactions. On the scratch installation of the new version I'm now reminded again of all the intrusive third party screwups. I'm moving my primary browser, with shields like a very paranoid uMatrix, to Chromium to party address the privacy issues, and have about decided to also install Chrome, starting it up just for my financial transactions and then exiting. I think there's a lot lower chance Google will siphon off my account information than one of Mozilla's current or future 3rd party partners, especially as Firefox's declining market share makes it ever more desperate.

Well, looks like you just have to assemble known parts in specific order to make something users like.
I think this reinforces the parent commenter's point. The range of salaries for just new grads in the US is wider than what you've mentioned. In lower CoL areas you occasionally see as little as 30k-40k, although that seems to be pretty rare, while the high end in expensive cities is around 250k or so. In my experience a solid established company will frequently offer around twice as much as a funded startup for the same candidate.
I too sympathize with people for whom $5 is a lot of money.

I'm saying it is critical for anyone who cares about this to do something. Organizing to get laws changed, subsidies stripped/rerouted, and other structural changes takes effort from everyone who has a stake in this. We just disagree on what it is that is critical to do.

As an aside, one thing I like to point out though is that the definition of “good approximation” seems to some extent determined by what has the cleanest theory, than what one may naively desire, as in this paragraph from the article:

> Emily consider ways of giving each answer a score. Initially, she thought that for each fraction, the score could be the (absolute) difference between her number and the proposed fraction, and then multiplied by the denominator. (The lower the better). However, after talking to some of her tech friends, she decided to make it even stricter [...] denominator squared.

A similar thing comes up in many expositions of “best rational approximation” in books and on the internet, where instead of |x-p/q| we use |q(x-p/q)| = |qx-p|, and here in this post for even cleaner theory we're using |q(qx-p)|. A post I wrote a while ago to clarify this issue, with a small C program: https://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/not-all-best-rat...
