>With that said, I'd think that Redbox basically does Netflix-by-mail more efficiently, no?

No, actually, because the killer aspect of DVD-by-mail is the depth of selection. Redbox machines are even MORE limited.

If the camera is streaming or recording video, then it is likely to be significantly warmer than ambient; a thermal camera (they’re not super-expensive these days) should easily reveal hotspots.
I'm surprised they couldn't arrange for some government officials to shake hands kicking off some sort of above the board tech collaboration with the usual fanfare and political mumbo jumbo speak. MA and PRC would get along well. Both are totalitarian one party states with capitalist economies that the state meddles in when it has sufficient interest. Other than wildly different levels of regard for human life it seems like a match made in heaven. The powers that be in MA would have fallen over themselves rushing to have their educational institutions collaborate with the kind of totalitarian state they can only dream of. Seems like this whole "spy operation" could have been avoided by having some politicians have a face to face and tossing a little money at the situation.
Part of the problem is that "smart" crap becomes hard to avoid if you want non-shitty devices.

We've run into this with refrigerator shopping—we want a counter-depth fridge with what amounts to maybe $50-100 worth of "luxury" improvements in terms of cost to the manufacturer (a little more metal where some have plastic, castors for the drawers so they move a little better, "soft close" would be nice but its absence isn't a deal-breaker, some slightly more thoughtful than usual layout & organization) but all the ones with that kind of thing also bundle auto-opening doors and fancy smart junk and cost double what a mid-range fridge does. We just want to pay slightly (say $200-400) more for a fridge that doesn't feel like a (cheap!) kid's toy, but without a bunch of fancy junk. Such a product does not exist.

Then there's smoke detectors. Do some reading and it seems like they all suck, badly, except Nest Protect, which achieves best-of-a-bad-lot status. I just want smoke detectors that, you know, work, and don't annoy me so much in the kitchen that I end up unplugging that one permanently. Ideally they'd wirelessly trigger one another so I don't have to worry about wires for that. I don't really want or need them to connect to the Internet or to spy on me. Unfortunately sucks-the-least comes bundled with spies-on-you.

Iraq is an interesting example because we only found out it was false after the fact. In the run up to the war, perhaps questioning the sources and information provided by the government would have been labeled fake news.
How come fetch hasn't been integrated directly into node, like how its integrated directly into browsers?
What you're responding to (and disagreeing with) is partially a misquote; see the full paper Computer Programming as an Art, which is Knuth's 1974 Turing Award lecture. (Available at http://www.paulgraham.com/knuth.html or http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~canf/knuth1974.pdf and reprinted with some minor corrections as the first chapter of the collection Literate Programming.)
Problem with Axios is that it has almost 500 open issues and not enough maintainers.

We've moved to fetch, which is not as handy, but is the standard lib in the browser. Actually we use wretch which adds a more convenient API on top of fetch.

For Node we use node-fetch which mimics the fetch API using the native HTTP module in the background:

I don't think you can be kicked out like that (bar committing an egregious breach of company rules / the law) in the UK with zero notice (although I'm not a lawyer, obvs.) (unless the company goes into immediate liquidation? But can that even happen?) You need a consultation period for redundancies and I'm reasonably sure you have to have HR escalation for most other things, IIRC.
Somebody starts a site for collecting "scholar dropouts"?
An article qualifies as a scholar dropout if:

- it was previously available on Google Scholar

- it cannot be retrieved, or the search on Google Scholar gives a misleading result (for example it gives another article, as explained in [1])

Please help to make a list of scholar dropouts! Thank you.

That would be interesting, because it seems like a lot of blogs pretend to be from the present by updating the post/last modified date frequently but leaving the content the same as several years ago.
I have been noticing (what appear to be) truncated search results in Google for some time now. At first I thought that was because I was accessing Google through Startpage. But that's not the case.

Anyways, I find myself using Bing more and more often these days, because the search results dig more deeply into the 'obscure'.

I'm not at all upset by this. It seems to me that as Google's results are not completely satisfactory, more people will make use of various alternatives. Maybe one day, search will become decentralized again, somewhat like it was in the 1990s, when you regularly made use of many search engines, like Altavista, Lycos, Excite, and Yahoo.

I would imagine that there must still be metasearch sites out there somewhere that submit your query to several search engines. I need to find one again and would appreciate recommendations.
it reminds me of all the discontinued crap I tried and never comited to. Google and Microsoft are basically a minefield on that front.
GCP is 11 years old. It’s a paid service.

Is there any reason to believe it would actually be deprecated? This doesn’t seem like a google reader or other free B2C product.
please don't quote things this way. even if I maximize the browser window on my desktop, I still have to horizontally scroll each line to read. it's even worse on mobile.

I've posted some details explaining why gitstatusd doesn't use inotify in https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus/commit/050aaaa04b652e15.... The short version is that the default max_user_watches limit is much too low to be useful for gitstatusd and I cannot ask or expect users to change their system settings.
Google is the new Yahoo.
That's interesting...and disturbing.

Why? Someone should press Tim Cook about this.
And the reason they are not making money (I'm guessing) is because older web sites are much less likely to use one of Google's spying plugs, such as Analytics or Fonts. Or the ads themselves after all.
And blockchain peddlers can certainly over-promise/under-deliver without contradicting any of those points.
Is the implication that every library module with async code must be rewritten to use promises or else be obsolete?

A lot of businesses don't have the luxury of positive cashflows that software businesses do.

> oil is getting increasingly expensive to get

Agreed. That is obviously a factor increasing oil prices, and may certainly more than balance the 4 factors I listed.

> alternatives are getting better

central to my argument

> we may soon not have much oil left worth getting

Oh I certainly hope so. I'm saying that we can't rely on oil prices going up substantially to ensure this. We need to invest in alternative energy sources and consumers and use carbon taxes to ensure it.
How to Build a CLI Tool in Node.js – Using Heroku’s Oclif Framework
None of that, but to some extent you can't fill a blog with stories like this. It's not really original content. It's happened to so many people, and they eventually find a job, just like this person did.

By zero content I mean a reader will come away from it with no new knowledge, and it will be forgotten soon after.
Not nearly as practical as taking a look at your garage door while leaving though. If you're paranoid you can install a timer with an override switch. Surely telemetry and high-level automation has advantages, but is it worth the hassle, the abandonware light switch which is useless now, the privacy and security concerns that come with network-connected equipment? That is a personal choice and I have to say I'm not a supporter.
I think the general assumption here is that a hidden camera would be likely to use active IR illumination.
I miss those days. There seemed to be so much choice back then. I do remember throwing the same search into 3-4 search engines, not knowing if the reason I couldn<t find anything was because of the engine itself, or if there literally was no information about it on the Net...something that was a possibility back in 1999.
I've had the opposite issue when searching for how to do something in perl. I'll frequently get 15 to 20 year old results from the perlmonks.org website instead of something more recent.
Yeah, healthcare standards are peculiar..
Not just HL7 though, I find that a lot of the communication formats (with government services etc) are either badly documented or badly designed. Usually, both.

>> Just fine/arrest/ban the hosts who actually do it, given evidence that it is them doing it.

The Federal voyeurism act of 2004 made it illegal in the US to record video of someone without their consent when that person had a reasonable expectation of privacy [0]. Fines and up to one year in prison.

But I don't know of any actual convictions.

I bet if this happens in some jurisdiction with a politically ambitious prosecutor and the host were recording children then it will blow up.

The issue here isn't beautiful code vs quick code.

I think it's between spending some time and thinking about the problem you are trying to solve vs brute forcing a quick prototype to get it done.

I think your code will look beautiful by itself if the engineer fully understands the problem at hand.

This process takes time and practice. I personally throw away my quick first solution and let the fog clear first.

Somethings that have generally given me good results: drawing stuff, taking small breaks, listening to my tests (if my tests hurt, it means my design is bad)

Would love to hear other thoughts on this !
You're not wrong, but the fact that some work is being done on this is at least a good sign I think. A proof-of-concept is necessary before you can integrate these things organically into the language, and I that as a result it could be pretty interesting.

If I knew anything about elaborate type systems, I would try and address your complaints. Sadly, my knowledge of linear logic and whatnot is very ad hoc.
In the article, you write:

>If you firmly believe we are blank slates, and the only innate difference between the sexes is body shape, take a look at this thread:

But very few people believe this; it's better to characterise the argument as saying that many of the differences we see relating to the dynamics between the sexes are a product of society and culture, and the Reddit thread you linked underneath doesn't really refute that notion. I think it's more important that we try and understand the culture that produces these effects rather than inferring essential traits about humans without consulting the historical record.
Thanks for this! I've wanted to learn more about WebRTC and Go, and digging through the source seems a good opportunity.

This looks like negative news for the Facebooks & Youtubes, but I think it's the opposite. Whenever the law, Facebook & Youtube will adapt - they have the resources to do so. Smaller players, and potential future competitors, will not be able to adapt.

This just draws a moat around existing behemoths that will protect them against future disruption.

There's always a call for prayer warriors about literally every major news event--elections, judicial confirmations, catastrophes, droughts etc...

Yes there were people praying for her to be fully healed, but there's a difference between believing it's possible to be healed and arguing that we should keep her alive primarily because of that possibility.

The focus of the argument was that her life was already worth living because they believed she was still conscious, and other sanctity of life issues. At the end, the most common argument was that it was cruel to deny someone food and water. They were talking about how the family couldn't even give her ice chips.

The pro feeding tube people believed she should keep being fed regardless of whether God was going to heal her.
Or everyone could stop pumping oil _right now_. Economics are great and all, but economics is an abstraction layer on top of production - and the economics that we use today are basically spaghetti code on top of production.

The largest issues if we were to stop oil production immediately wouldn't even be monetary, they would be ethical, as it would massively reduce food production and distribution.

Basically, Norway is working closer to the hardware when they stop oil production.
Photopea is amazing, it actually replaced Gimp for me. Only thing I am missing is ability to close many tabs (e.g. close all except this one). Amazing project.
It's funny but one of my first contact points with iOS (after owning a 3gs some years back) was when I tried to fix the mail settings for a friend and I had the exact same problem described here.

After finding out that you have to add the account via settings it kinda makes sense, but the first thought is: you have an email account, you have an email app, of course you add the account in the app, why would it be anywhere else? The account and the app could not possibly be more directly related to each other.
If you already know how accounts are managed in iOS you will think this is fine, but it is absolutely not intuitive, let alone easy to understand for people who do not know about sso and shared accounts.
The article was actually better than I expected.

In my short career experience, there is no dream or perfect job. As one gains experience, you can find better and better opportunities, but instead of a single dream job, you end up moving along a pareto optimal border of tradeoffs.
I'm uncomfortable about the fire, too. And I'd like to trust the firefighters to handle the fire, in this case. Not alarm non-firefighters, to go rushing in the way of firefighters, kicking in doors of houses that are not on fire, etc.
Medicare for All Critics Are Telling Lies
I didn't downvote, but you link to a comment by yourself that isn't much longer and links to a blog post by yourself, and you already made a comment with basically the same content elsewhere in the thread. That's close enough to spammy self-promotion to get you downvoted irrespective of whether people agree with you
My favorite painting in the world is Jackson Pollock's Mural, his first major painting. It's owned by my alma mater the U of Iowa. The canvas is 9x20 iirc, just huge. They used to display it in a large central gallery, where you could look at it from more than 50 feet away, or get your nose right up to it.

One of the great things about this painting is how it is a totally different experience at different distances. From a distance, the sense of right-to-left motion is palpable. Get closer, and figures seem to pop out of it. But really close, you can no longer see the entire painting, but you can see individual brushstrokes (mostly 3-6" house painting brushes, I think). The subtlety and detail of each stroke is extraordinary. There are patterns across the canvas that are a result of large-scale patterns of strokes - it's almost like cursive handwriting.
While the idea is good and kind, it's not as easy as it seems.

That's called a support line, and it requires good understanding of the project by non-dev support. That requires to educate someone about your project, and maintain their knowledge to be up to date.

That's not an easy task even in commercial projects with a team of several people, and ability to delegate, and requires a non-trivial skill of leadership.

In other words, the project is very lucky to have such people. And while it sometimes happen organically, it's hard to implement this intentionally.
Is "Big" Media actually a popular term? Or was the word Big just injected so that people wouldn't associate the article with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories?
It's the right decision. If we keep extracting every last drop of oil, the effects of climate change are going to irreversible (see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/09/tipping-...). If less oil is extracted, the price will go up, and that will hasten the transition to renewables.
I only just played this game last summer/fall (I guess once it showed up for PC). While there were definitely enjoyable aspects and I played through the whole thing, it really did feel like half a game.

I'd played most of the NES/SNES/PS1 entries (some all the way through, some partially before getting sidetracked) and while the stories were often convoluted or just poorly localized, they were lengthy and had a lot to do.

The latest FF game looked great and I could deal with the sketchy plot logic but right around when the pacing suggested that I was getting to the "meat" of the game, it went on rails (in some aspects, literally). I was used to the idea of a long setup with a false sense of conclusion, right before it "hits the fan" and the big bad shows up/you end up in the world of ruin/whatever.

When this game went from the peaceful storyline and fun time world exploration with your buddies to "oh crap wtf shit is going down!" it was followed by a series of simpler missions in a few locations, then the end.

I don't even care that the ending itself made little sense unless you had watched some movie or whatever. I was mostly just bummed that the exploration, discovery, dialogue, etc. ended so abruptly so you could fast track to the inevitable showdown with the big bad (who was disappointingly the guy you were led to expect, not the usual fake-out where he was just a pawn of the real ultimate baddie).

Later I read the same thing about how the game was cut short (which also explained all of the locations marked on the map
that you couldn't actually visit). Made total sense.

It's a shame they put it out like this. As I said, I only played the PC version which came out two years after the initial release but I would've loved it if they just waited until 2018 and put out the full product. I hadn't played one of these since maybe FFX in 2002 so it was kind of a bummer.

No is the short answer.

More to the point, they've managed their oil money differently, investing it in various things. They have state philosophers on board to help invest. The country itself is relying less and less on oil - lots of hydropower, for example, and lots of encouragement to buy an electric vehicle and/or take the bus.

They've had help: Others responding along with you mentioned an Iraqi that has helped them.

The fund itself is pretty amazing. It might even be more of a blow to see the fund shrivel up than the oil, honestly.
If most anonymous speech were like The Federalist Papers then I would agree. I think the mean-value of anonymous speech is either zero or negative. I'm aware this is a feeling and not something I can prove.

Once you get past one kid, having a whole house when traveling is... the only thing that makes traveling seem tolerable, really. Some more touristy places have cabins and such, but in others it's AirBnB or nothing, except maybe some expensive townhouse-like hotels out near airports.

We've also used them for away-from-kids weekend retreats with other couples. Hotels wouldn't work at all, the whole point is to find some place pleasant to hang out in for a couple days, that's not your own house, and that can handle 4-6 people without feeling crowded. Hanging out in a hotel's just sad, not pleasant and relaxing, at least at prices we can afford.

There's PDF/A.
I concur. For example in telecom getting operators to update anything is just a pain. Unless they are seeing service affecting issues, they are totally fine running decade old software. Also sometimes if they have lets say version 5 and current is version 12, latest, and they need some fix, then depending on the size and wealth of the company they may force manufacturer to create version 5 plus fix, making it a new branch just for them, even if all versions 6 to 12 were already tested in production.
Has it been tried to offer such unproductive users paid support?
The part about prices is true to any cloud provider. Amazon increased our prices by 170% over the years, same usage. I was not surprised when I saw big shots falling back to self hosting (like Dropbox from Amazon to own hardware).
