Yeah exactly; which is why ideally, the container or box running Redis:

- Has practically nothing other than Redis on it.

- Has Redis running with minimal permissions and capabilities.

- Has no ability to make outgoing connections.

Which I'd say is vital security practice for anything running in production.

Few people will bother with TLS and you can see that based on the fact that I don't think cloud providers generally support it, but I personally did do this with stunnel at a time. Apparently Redis now recommends spiped, which looks good to me.

I love it. It's spacious enough that I can pack everything I need for a week away from home, yet compact enough that it fits under the seat in an airplane. Kind of pricey but sturdily built, I've had it for six or seven years now and it isn't showing any signs of wear or tear.

Fly-by-wire does not necessarily imply that there is software interfering. You can have a very linear system that just translates yoke input into control surface deflection, but uses software and cables instead of hydraulic lines.
fighter jets are the more extreme and established example, it also applies to most modern airliners which have software systems in place to prevent human controls from exceeding the aircraft flight envelope

fuel efficiency in these modern aircraft has been gained with swept back wings, larger intake engines etc. which with direct control and no software would be almost impossible to keep flying

discarding all of these systems because of a problem with one would set airline safety and efficiency back decades
Why does the "powerful" computer need to be in your pocket. I have a Shadow Tech machine, and with their IOS app I can access a really nice computer from my phone.

As long as I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, I'm having the full desktop experience from an iphone that's 3 years old. I can even cast my phone to a wall sized projector which is really fun. Only caveat is that it requires a very good internet connection.
Maybe it's just your observation bias. Try talking to some blue-collar people in a provincial town.

They are raising FUD about the research. One of the guys has a PhD in medical psychology and appears to be a right wing nut. There is a nice quote in the article:

"It's kind of like the same issues that came up with tobacco denial of health effects or denial of climate change health effects," Frey says. "There's a very small community that have scientific credentials but are moving outside their area of expertise to try to raise doubt after doubt after doubt on issues where they really don't have the strongest competence."

All but the two of the reasons boil down to, they are more men in that subject than women. A higher men to women ratio of astronauts, scientists, infantry soldiers and athletes mean that it makes sense that more of the equipment would be oriented towards men. Similarly I would assume that make up sets have small parts that are more appropriate for smaller women hand's than women's.

As for office temperature, I have never worked at a place where the temperature was dictated by a study. Everywhere I worked it was either the person sitting closest to the thermostat, the manager or a consensus that picked the temperature. But I assume that there may be places that go buy the stated study. Even in that case saying something like:
> "For all the corporate talk about teamwork, it's hard to feel part of a team when you are placed in an inhospitable physical environment."
Is a huge exaggeration and doesn't help accomplish anything

As for phone screen, I assume that men buy about the same amount as women. Yet the phone companies realized that if they make larger phones people will still buy it. The fault lies on the women for buying large phones rather than smaller ones, thereby letting phone companies know that making phones bigger is okay.
Bilateral certification agreements. Canada and U.S. have one as well (it goes both ways): https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/int-baa-usa.... It's good in theory (cutting down on a giant amount of repeat work), as long as both certifying bodies maintain their standards and don't get politicized.
If this were the only test, that would be a bad test. They're probably verifying that the flight hardware has characteristics consistent with all the previous test cases before blasting it to Mars. (I work near this project, but not on it directly).

This reminds me of an old legend (probably made up but what do I know) that when early European explorers first reached North America, some native American tribes, then settled on the shore, were unable to see the ships coming on the horizon, until one of their shamans pointed at them, because only they had the necessary conditioning and open mindedness to perceive and anticipate things that were unfathomable to others.

From https://www.bostondynamics.com/handle :

Handle is a robot that combines the rough-terrain capability of legs with the efficiency of wheels. It uses many of the same principles for dynamics, balance, and mobile manipulation found in the quadruped and biped robots we build, but with only 10 actuated joints, it is significantly less complex. Wheels are fast and efficient on flat surfaces while legs can go almost anywhere: by combining wheels and legs, Handle has the best of both worlds.

Handle can pick up heavy loads while occupying a small footprint, allowing it to maneuver in tight spaces. All of Handle’s joints are coordinated to deliver high-performance mobile manipulation.
You're optimizing the spending that you were going to do anyway. For instance, I have to pay the utility bill no matter what; I spend about $3k/year in utilities. I could put that spending on my 2% card and get back $60/year in rewards. Or if I take the time to do my research I could find out that by putting it on my US Bank Cash+ card, I can get 5% back which comes out to be $150 in rewards/year (a gain of $90/year). The only additional work was the 5 minutes to apply for the card, and the 5 minutes/month it takes to log in to the website, pay the card, and log out. A $90 gain / 60 minutes of work per year = $90/hour in "reward income."

In practice, you don't use most of the 5% categories. Whenever a quarter with useless categories comes around, just stick the card into a drawer and check back in 3 months.

You're correct that the ongoing rewards rates are typically fairly anemic overall. The real rewards in credit cards comes from the sign up bonuses. It's pretty easy to get $500-1000 of value by signing up for a credit card and spending $3-5k in the first 3 months of card membership.
This is cool. I have an app that uses Vue and Go (in Electron, communicating via gRPC) and this looks like this could make it a lot simpler. You should consider adding a small bridge so you can run the resulting code in a native app box (i.e an Electron bridge), that would be a winner combination.

This is a surprisingly good article. As a product designer of 10+ years (having worked at Facebook, Atlassian, and now Lyft), I would recommend anyone outside of the design field to read this.

It provides a much crisper picture of what modern designers workflow looks like than other resources.

Typically when these types of guidance are shared they're littered with more harmful advice than good. For example: "Look at what other apps are doing and copy it!" Except what another product is doing may not work for your product. The design of a final product isn't just the result of visual decisions, it's also driven by things like: business objectives, budgets, team size, time constraints, tech capabilities, target market size and demographics, etc.

So to have the article call attention to things like Dribbble being home to designs that are primarily "conceptual as opposed to the finished product when it comes to real applications" was refreshing.

Great read!
Microsoft did have Windows phone. Metro was an attempt to converge desktop, phone, and tablet environments. From what I hear, Windows phone was an excellent product, but it was late to market and did not have a healthy app ecosystem.

This would still be the case if you put Windows 10 desktop on a phone. The problem is that even though the Windows desktop has a healthy app ecosystem, these apps work poorly on touch devices. This is true for touch devices with large, high-quality screens (various desktops) and for smaller, more portable, but still high-quality screens (like the Surface). Rewriting an app to work well with touch turns out to be an enormous amount of work for the typical Windows app developer. This is true in the ideal case, for C# devs working with WPF/XAML, but it is much worse for devs working with older apps... WinForms, MVC, etc.

Without the desktop apps, you're left with something that is basically an also-ran in a market saturated by iOS and Android. In the meantime, the desktop experience is still not completely touch-friendly and has suffered from a fair amount of design damage in the process (e.g. two control panels). Any developer that would go through the process of getting their existing Windows app working with a touch UI is going to evaluate porting to iOS or Android, and probably prioritize those options.
What version of Go are you using? It sounds like an older one. Try the latest (1.12.x).

> You can be a 20k rep Stack Overflow account, but land on a Stack Exchange question from Google and it's a complete crapshoot if you'll even be able to upvote the question.

If you have 200+ rep on any one site, you can upvote on any other site (assuming you didn't spend/lose the rep somehow) if you actually create an account there. Downvotes require more rep (125), so that requires some participation on that specific site.

This Association Bonus (100 free rep on all sites as a reward for earning 200 on one) is designed to address a lot of your concerns. It allows upvoting, flagging and commenting. If you see something that should be closed, you can flag it for closure to bring it to the attention of users with sufficient rep to close or indicate non-answers as such so that higher rep users can vote to delete them.

The system as-is definitely leads to a lot of confusion, though. The explanation I've heard for the siloing of reputation between the sites is that reputation is an indication of trust and expertise in using a specific site. If you know how what's on or off topic on SO, that doesn't necessarily mean you know what's on or off topic on Puzzling or InfoSec. Each site has slightly different cultural expectations, and the belief - which maybe should be tested - is that that expertise doesn't cross between sites.

One part of the problem here is that someone can spend hours using a site and know what's on topic or what should be deleted or downvoted or closed and still never have any reputation on that site... and on the other end of that spectrum, you can find very high rep users who either don't use those moderation tools or use them incorrectly because they haven't actually taken the time to understand how the community expects them to be used.

It's a hazy indicator of expertise at best but it's also a relatively low-effort one to implement. It takes work to balance it and decide what actions warrant a reputation reward but it's okay. Finding a better/different way to achieve this indication of expertise and privilege may be worth considering and may allow users to "test out" in a privilege to earn it without needing a specific amount of points. This would allow invested users access to privileges without requiring them to also be expert askers or answerers.
I just want to say that you captured the pain and suffering you feel very well here. This is very well put, it's beautiful and poetic in its own way, and it really helped me understand how you must feel.
Well done. Does this apply to all images that have ever been uploaded to the website, or only to the ones uploaded after your update? If an user uploaded an image 2 hours ago, will their image be stored or has it been deleted already?
Well, its a matter of degrees. I might want an app that I trust to have access to photos, but not my whole SD Card. That hasn't really been possible in the past.

And we've seen that apps that are trustworthy can be bought and sold, sometimes by companies that are very untrustworthy.
That acronym is well established in psychology.
Yeah I was being sarcastic. My point is that theres a limited technical challenges on the scale of feasibility ("anyone _can_ build...). The big challenges are on the cost/return side of things. Google Fiber faced tremendous pressure for if it was responsible spending or not, which they ultimately decided it was not. So there's good skepticism here about why the valuation would be that high, but I think its a stretch to say they don't have a moat and they're doomed / you cant build a successful company that way. AT&T / Verizon seem very comparable (they don't have a technology moat, they have a first-mover advantage which has been stable for a long time).

I don't get the point. There were two mediums, she decided she wanted a medium AFTER saying she wanted a large.

The options were available, but the change couldn't be accommodate in the timeframe. The second paragraph doesn't really seem to follow from the first.

"There are two medium-sized suits on the International Space Station, but only one had been properly configured for a spacewalk, and getting the spare up to standard would have taken hours.

Ms Criado Perez says it's still telling that the sizes available were medium, large, and extra-large only."
My guess is that [1] 4 wheels don't solve the fundamental problem of lifting - counterweights (unless your 4-wheel "platform" is so wide to not easily fit / maneuvre in the warehouse), and [2] 2 weels are enough - with modern motors, microcontrolers and feedback algorithms, 2-wheel platforms (think Segway) are perfectly stable.

I wouldn't say that. SD Cards and local file selection are still possible under this model, and it is still possible to share files between apps like this.

It is just that now there is a lot more control to insure that the user is aware of it, and some new technical limitations.

Its disruptive, but not nearly as limited as iOS.
ints are really the best. They are handles, i.e. identities. All my programs use ints almost exclusively. I have a few pointers in function signatures and for global arrays, but the rest is int.

When you need a void pointer or whatever information from some fiber, just have an array to map from the handle to that information.

Of course, if you are not willing to make a global array for lookup, you are screwed because some additional context is missing.
That's not necessarily a bad thing though. Sometimes it's good to revisit some (seemingly) "forgotten" technologies which still have a lot of potential.

If I were to learn a new language, I would try to immerse myself in it as soon as possible. Ideas: change your OS display language, select a VPN server in a country where it's the primary language so you occasionally get localized pages, partake in online forums, read children's stories, speak the language with a friend (I usually have at least one friend whose native language is the one I'm learning) or get a pen pal, watch movies and listen to music, write poems.

As for the actual learning methodology, I would use the one I always use: study, use/experiment, rest. I call that one learning block, of which I can do one to three in a day. A study phase of tops an hour focused on few concepts followed by a use/experimentation phase, and then a rest phase of twenty minutes to an hour (I prefer walking, no earphones, just the quiet--I don't want any new inputs during this phase).

The resting phase is critical for me, you can also call it a timeout, and it's something I do many times in the course of a week. It's not actually resting, it's a period of time I set aside where I "disconnect" and block all inputs. I don't listen to music or any other audio, I won't allow anything to disturb me, the phone's on silent and won't be touched or looked at, no screens at all. During this time my brain is processing new information and relating it to old--making connections. My only job is to think about nothing in particular while I walk or just sit/lay on the couch. This is when most ideas, insights and deeper understanding come to me. When I'm done, I jot down whatever manifested.

To maintain knowledge, you must actively engage. And why would you not? I would not learn a new language as a project or challenge and then not use it, I would use it for the rest of my life. By learning a new language, you can open new doors, alter your perspective, and gain understanding and empathy for people you previously knew little about.
Frankly, I'm currently for as aggressive and restrictive a containment policy against Russia as possible. We've seen what Obama's 'reset' did - it created the diplomatic space for Russia to maul Ukraine. Giving Russia any slack whatsoever is a terrible mistake every time, they always use it to make more trouble. Just ask Georgia.
I use an Osprey Aether 70 for search and rescue. I used to use a Kelty Tioga 5500, but the external frame snagged branches in awkward situations. I've also done the Bataan Memorial Death March, civilian heavy, 10 times, with all but one or two of them using the Kelty. When I tried the Osprey for that, it was too hot.

One of my two upright tubes on my (third) Tioga broke during BMDM this year after a punishing training schedule, so I'm going to use something different for 2020. However, I was doing three training runs a week with bulky dried food (beans and lentils) taking my pack weight to 40 pounds and that's not what the Tioga is designed for, so it's my own fault, not Kelty's.

Tons of technical details on the helicopter here [0]

For power in particular, charged by solar panels (the things above the rotor), worst case end-of-life flight time is estimated at 90s, depending on season it might take more than 1 day to reach full charge.

Edit: And the two numbers for range I can find in that document suggest 300m flight range, and "outbound sorties" of length 100m (suggesting always flying back to the rover?).
