You also need a lot fewer trains than say cars or trucks, so on the whole they might be better off.
Lots of people do all sorts of theatrical security things without having any real savvy for the real threats they face.
This is hardly tricking the Tesla. In the video they have no cars nearby for the Tesla to also infer from, so saying it's "driving into opposing traffic" is misleading.

I would imagine the Tesla would do fine if there were cars in front of it, and cars in the oncoming lane that it could infer with.

With that being said, I'm sure there are plenty of corner cases where the car can be legitimately tricked.
> I've played something like 1500 hours of Overwatch that I bought for $30. The depth of the game is just spectacular, and it keeps you coming back to play more. They add new heroes and new maps regularly. The core game itself is fun. I've made many friends. I met my girlfriend in that game.

A lot of people could say many of the same things about Nethack -- or MUDs. Neither of which are business-card-sized, but they're closer to that extreme than to the AAA extreme.
His violent actions are aligned with the prevailing politics in that area. He is thus protected. The politics also go against a meritocracy, and this is extended even to the court system. The merits of the case were less important, while the values espoused were more important.

IMHO this is corrupt and is a path toward being 3rd-world country.

The notification prompt should be a good lesson in feature creep for browser vendors. Pretty much applies to all "engagement" features: If you build it, it will be abused.
Alternatively you can workaround the issue by telling firefox to delete history on close. This will allow you to block notifications per-session.
I'm not anthropomorphizing the animal

You are, actually. You're extending a human concept, with human morals and human judgement, to a non-human animal. It is not known whether non-human animals understand the concept of autonomy, let alone value it.

Given that many humans do not understand autonomy, I doubt that any non-human animal does.

But that's all beside the point. With these automated machines, if the animal chooses not to give milk, then no milk is collected from the animal. Since the animals do choose to give milk, it can hardly be argued that they are coerced in any way.

Almost thought this was an April fools joke (the app icon also makes it like more. While it's good to have option for non-technical people who needs to protect their network traffic and privacy, I'd stick to my own DIY WireGuard (now that we've got working client for iOS, Android and macOS, etc., also performs exceptionally well over IPsec - performance, simplicity), strongSwan based IPsec VPN as backup whenever network traffic encryption over untrusted network is required.

>> Most patent disputes are resolved behind the scenes, long before anyone sues each other

> To my definition that makes it not a dispute! It's a commercial discussion with an agreement at the end of it.

Patent trolls send thousands of companies demands to pay royalties on a technology they never directly used. Fighting the troll costs hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars, but they are only asking for $50k. Most companies begrudgingly pay. To me, that's still a dispute.
Downgrading the prompt to a non-popup icon in the address bar unless it follows a user action sounds like the perfect balance.

This won’t entirely stop sites which are properly trying to request the permission in the worst case, and the navbar icon is unobtrusive enough that if it gets spammed it’s no big deal.

Actually I think it makes sense to persistently show the notification icon in the navbar once the permission has been granted (same with mic, audio, and anything else) providing a quick glance at any privs that have been granted and an obvious way to revoke them.

The icons would then need granted and non-granted states, and perhaps even three states;

- Black : requested but not authorized

- Black with green check : granted

- Grey with red x: requested and denied

Hi, I am a recent Computer Science graduate from Northern Arizona University, I Interned at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory where I worked on the Mars 2020 rover. Looking for a full-time position.
Anti games? Most triple A games are interactive movies with no systems.

When video games lack actual gamification, people that enjoy depth, challenge, and systems design are likely to be jaded.

I mean look at something like the original deus ex. There is not a single modern game that could even approach the level of immersion and depth that it offered.

A lot of people grew up playing real "games" in the truest sense of the word- meaning there are rules, challenges, and twists other that "shoot bad guy". The other thing missing is player choice. Most modern games offer ZERO choice to the player, or faux choice with zero consequence or effect on the game world.

Hence people are revisiting game design and exposing the irony that you can make a much deeper game with very little resources compared to the flashy yet vapid "games" being pumped out by the big publishers.

It shows, too. Look at how badly EA and co are doing. Turns out alienating actual gamers to appeal to the masses isn't a great long term strategy. On the flipside, look at the mini renaissance we are having with indie games. I've had more enjoyment from no name companies for the past 5 years than from any bloated publisher.

Is it really outlandish for people who grew up loving games to be upset with what is happening to the medium?
MSX was a hit in Brazil largely because of our closed market at the time, where importing computers was always very expensive and often illegal. A computer had to be a "national" product, even if that meant just a clone of foreign machines built with mostly imported parts (and very often violating copyright, e.g. I had a ZX Spectrum clone which manufacturer was sued by Sinclair, unsuccessfully, despite copying even the ROM code). In that environment the MSX was a great solution, local companies could join the party of selling a computer/peripherals/SW that benefited from a (hoped) worldwide market, without the costs of licensing or the hurdles of straight piracy.
I’ve held a similar opinion for a long time now, but not from an anti-game perspective; enjoyment is simply an overloaded term, and trivial to hack (want to make a nearly any mediocre game enjoyable? Play it with friends.) It often just amounts to “I was content to lose N hours into it”, which on its own is a pretty worthless statement (and if its the only statement, a pretty damning one).

Games are often treated as, and judged as, timesinks. A good game is simply a good timesink. A good timesink makes use of addictive/gambling mechanics. And most games rely heavily on them (sometimes unintentionally; this is likely less true the closer you get to today).

But in my opinion games can be a lot more interesting than that, and “enjoyable” is a crass description of it. For example, I probably put over 2000 hours into league of legends when I was younger, but those hours were mostly a waste. Back then, I described it as enjoyable. Now I realize I never cared about LoL, I just had my social life there. The game was never actually good, and what little I actually think of it is only about the human components (and a little about how not to design a competitive game). The 15 hours I put into star control 2 were far more valuable (if only because it informed me how little, if not backwards, we progressed from it to mass effect, in terms of game design).

I have a negative opinion on games, but its because I like them. Most games are shit, and the industry has mostly been getting worse over time.

Also out of your three, I know you were referring to “complex games with storylines” as the “good” type, but taking a random lottery, multiplayer games are the only ones with any reasonable hope of actually being interesting, mostly by accident. Most “complex games” are completely superficial; multiplayer games naturally bring depth by “cheating” — the humans bring 90% of it.

But I like games. Theoretically. Sometimes, in practice.
I'm still shocked that anybody thought the first generation implementation of this (in any browser, not specific to Firefox) was ever a good idea. I can see making the request visible to the end user, but... as a dialog? Why?

At least make it a narrow bar across the top/bottom that doesn't obscure web site content and can be easily ignored. Perhaps better would be to make it a button like there is a button to favorite/bookmark a site. A dialog isn't even near the top of the list of good designs.
> I absolutely believe that it should be discussed, and that people should feel safe.

Agreed!!

> I just want there to be an awareness that all therapies aren't created equal, and people could be lead some bad places depending on how poorly educated they become. After all, people still use alcohol to cope with mental health. Who knows what ridiculous notions someone could come up with given enough ingenuity and misinformation?

Unfortunately in my experience, the level of education doesn't help. I've known medical doctors that know exactly the risks involved yet still make poor choices because they haven't resolved the underlying issues. Medical doctors can be good at treating other people, but very bad at "treating" themselves and family.

So the best answer I can come up with is, who cares if someone wants to use alcohol (or heroine, etc.) to get relief as long as it's not causing anyone else physical or mental harm, recognition by that individual that its a crutch therefore temporary, and a focus in resolving the real issues.
Yep! "Clever" code always reminds me of Kernighan :

I enjoy working with other people, and I'm good at developing practical solutions to problems. I am capable of quickly learning new tech on my own time, or absorbing knowledge by working with others. I've both worked remotely and as a member of a team. My work experience is focused in full stack web development and running IT infrastructure. I am comfortable outside of this range and have worked on systems ranging from USB duplication automation, warehouse inventory systems, and 'complex' proprietary databases.

I am open to entry-level roles, but I could be a good fit for roles where my experience applies. I took a break to complete my degree a few years back, and have a programming resume gap that can be discussed.

Current personal projects:

Built a server out of off-lease enterprise gear and using it as my own virtualmachine server. Working on automating the deployment of any programs or services I host locally.

Developing a real-time general purpose notification system. Reading through "Designing Data-Intensive Applications."

>The court order targets a total of 57 domain names, including various mirror sites. The academic publishers had asked the court for a more flexible blocklist, which they could update whenever new domains would become available, but this was denied. If the publishers want to expand the blocklist, they will have to go back to court. This ensures that there remains judicial oversight over local website blockades. Also, a request for a specific IP-address block was denied.

So a DNS level block... This should help to educate some French users on what a DNS is, and steer some of them away from using their ISP provided DNS servers.
Why doesn't France care as much about other laws?
Big companies are indeed using FP for some of their stuff. For example almost every big company uses Spark for data processing, and the best API for Spark is Scala. If you are talking specifically about Web apps, it's probably because MVC is almost ubiquitous.
Same reason as Germany: a large copyright lobby.
If the work was less fun, or at least less desired, then the wages and hours would match the rest of the software industry.
I think it's interesting that there are people who are naturally focused and can make every minute count. While others have to go through loops and hoops to manage themselves both externally and within their workflow.

That said, while this article is somewhat good, it's also very niche. So, not necessarily something that would apply even to the majority of HN users.

> If you're developing something novel and it's not deployed as it's completed you risk a competitor beating you to market.

If you're competitor is imminently releasing a competing product then what you're working on isn't really novel. It would also be potentially patentable if it really was novel, which would grant you a monopoly on the space.

> As well as this, the time between having a product or feature complete and ready for release equates to lost revenue.

What's the lost revenue from releasing a buggy product? What's the lost revenue if your competitors are about to release a working one? What's the lost revenue from your developers jumping ship and all the related turn over costs? Some of those mistakes could sink the product/business entirely.

> to maximise possible revenue.

You agree that maximizing revenue at the expense of everything else isn't the goal don't you? If that's all that mattered then development would be outsourced to a third world country to save on expenses. But we've mostly learned no to do that because despite promising revenue gains they lead to several bad outcomes in the short and long term, pushing hard deadlines is no different.
I wrote some basic for the first time in like 25 years. Forgot how there were no local variables nor parameters to functions. Everything is a global variable and GOSUB is just GOTO with a return stack (no parameters). Also forgot depending on the BASIC that some BASICs only allowed 2 letter variables.

Those were my biggest issues trying to get back into it.
Sony had probably the most stylish designs among MSX manufacturers. They were not afraid of using curves compared to e.g. Philips' boxier style.

I have no idea who this lady is other than what was posted in the article. I read the tweets posted above and I see it as being a big leap to being transphobic by definition. Her concerns/points are valid and that view is shared by a lot of women. Many take those concerns not because of someone who is transgender, but those would would/might abuse the equality hospitality for their own ill reasons.

I don't think OP is actually suggesting that everyone should play business card skiing games instead of Overwatch. This argument is overkill. It's like critiquing a hobbyist woodworker because the Burj Khalifa exists.
I understand where you come from, but that's one harsh sentiment right there.

The companies are exploiting loopholes in a system to maximize profits. It is probably one of the softer evil things that companies do.

If anything it is the US govts fault that their lack of regulation has let these bad actors free.
You can't ezpect profit seeking companies to not act in their interests. But you should expect your govt. to reign them in when they go out of line.
I don’t think the value prop of TripleByte to busy CEOs is “you get employees cheaper”, if anything it’s going to cost more than other sources of talent that don’t take a cut of salaries.

I don’t see how customers of TripleByte are looking to pay less any more than any other ceo that’s trying to maximize profits while minimizing costs.
I've been told this and I'm pretty sure it was true, and I was underpaid, and everyone else was underpaid worse.

It's a lame argument even when it's true.
I think a bit less than the US, because we don't have Disney or Hollywood in general, but it's still pretty high.
The way I have factored these and other type of tech debt is to factor it in as development efficiency.

Particularly for startups, as they grow, one engineering team objective is to remain efficient as the team is growing. The way to achieve that? By refactoring code and introducing automation (like CI, CD, etc).

This gets reflected in the cost of developer time per feature / project. Which can be represented as a KR in the. OKR framework.
I was hoping this was a joke thinking that "Environment and Climate Change Canada" was made up too. The name's real. Climate change folks have to do better PR. Don't release info on April 1 if you want to be taken seriously and not get lost in the noise.

"Government report scheduled for release on Tuesday"--could still be a joke.
The article is trying to present quasiparticles as something very mysterious, but there are many usual cases.

In particular the phonons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon In a solid, you can imagine that the atoms are moving somewhat randomly, or you can decompose the movement in "quasiparticles" called phonons. It's much easier to understand some behavior of solids if you imagine that phonons are real, for example you can calculate the probability of the collision of a phonon with an electron in a conductor, and use that to calculate the conductivity. The idea is so useful that the people that work with solids talk as if he phonons were real particles (in spite they know all the details).

It's awful how easily they prescribe addictive medications, and how uninformed doctors are. Benzo withdrawal can cause seizures and even death. There are much less addictive sleep aids such as trazodone, and those should probably be prescribed first.
Well, this was mostly a very long rant. This guy seems to be full of frustration. Also the intercept about narcissists? WTF? That was completely beside the point.

I would summarize it like this: this guy have a lot of anecdotes to tell and now he is projecting his prejudice and sour experience to everything and everyone.
I agree. Code is ultimately for human consumption, so optimize for human readability and good organization.

That is of course very different to bloat. Bringing in hundreds of dependencies, tracking, analytics and using engineering patterns that are over-complex for the use case are probably habits we coule get better at in the industry.
