Still stick with Atom as my main text/code editor here. I started out with it mainly to write LaTeX, but since do most of my code editing also in Atom. I looked at VSCode back in '17 but found it quite clunky and not as intuitive as Atom. Things like changing key-binding based on a profile for example needs a quick Google - or maybe I am just slow!

I keep going back now and then to VS Code especially when I need to use the debugger to step through some code. But otherwise, my workflow since has evolved around the little niggles of Atom(like having to open separate terminal windows) so I don't feel the need to switch.
> Lyft now at $61/share, ouch, there just is no other way to put it. THey pulled a lot of financial engineering tricks to boost their IPO price and well the results speak for themselves:(

I don't understand why this is seen as a negative. An IPO is a share issuance — the higher the price per share, the more money they receive in exchange for the same percentage of the company. Post-IPO "pops" represent money left on the table, effectively a transfer to the high-dollar investors with connections to the underwriter who can buy at the issue price.

I have no idea why everyone isn't blocking all ads, trackers, beacons, or even using Facebook to begin with. Everyone knows what they are about. An ad-free Internet is a good Internet. Personally I have not seen a single ad online on my computers or mobile in years. You already pay to use the Internet. Keeping a website alive is the cost of doing business, not tracking people and allowing their ads to infect, slow down, or interfere with content.

> The C++ compiler does exceptionally few transformations that can change the behavior of a well-formed program.

So all of those conversions between numeric, pointer, or string-ish types are just figments of my imagination? The rules for which constructor to use, which template or overload to apply, aren't a form of inference? "Auto" doesn't exist? Maybe there's some class of transformations and some definition of "well formed" for which your statement is true, but I can't imagine what those are.
Data set for supermassive black holes and candidates

Not really new. Andromeda, our next galaxy, is 2.5 million light years away and it will collide with our Milky Way galaxy in about four billion years.

It works fine, except when it doesn't. They let another guy sign up with dots and I get his emails, letters from his girlfriend, bank statements and what not.

And at some point, they stopped doing these erroneous signups.

But I still keep getting these emails because they strip all the dots and relay them. This is just terrible.

I don't care about the -4 as much as I care about someone understanding how serious this issue really is.
From a data scientist that has been working as an architect for data systems for some time now, the way that data science was done 2 years ago changed considerably to how we do data science and design data systems geared to machine learning today. Data can be the "fuel" the economy, but the extreme demand for data scientists that need to know a huge number of things, from statistics do machine learning to programming, databases and so on, is reducing, and more specialized roles, like machine learning engineer, is growing. That´s the reason for my comment: the bubble of data scientist highly skilled over a vast number of areas is dying, and data scientists need to start to specialize to survive.

So is this the first moon wreckage?
I think you're both correct and incorrect.

There has been great progress made and I don't see any reason why we won't see them in less than a decade. However, this is only going to be in very specific areas. Really complex driving, like roads with no lines, a single lane but allows two directions, etc; I think that type of driving will take decades.

So in 8 years I can totally see getting off a plane, jumping into an autonomous car and having it drive me somewhere specific. But I can't see driving through all roads until much, much, much later.
Yes, it's very interesting. I moved to a city (in the US) where driving a car is actually unnecessary, so I sold mine and ride a bike as my primary transportation. I am so happy to not have to deal with car ownership -- it's improved my life tremendously.

Although I haven't been subjected to any abuse about it, more than once I have had people make comments about when I'll be able to buy a car, as if finances are why I don't have one. The funny thing is that my income is in the top 5% of the area, and I have enough liquid cash right now to buy almost any car I want outright. I just don't want one.

People make weird assumptions.
Because Dissenter was created by Gab, a far/alt-right online platform. Such groups are known for fostering hostile environments online towards people of various religions, races, cultural/political views, etc.. It is by no means a stretch of the imagination for Mozilla to claim that users of the app were using it for such purposes. As such, it would be apropos for Mozilla to remove an app that provides a platform for individuals to disrespect others.

Were Mozilla to keep it up, they would not be "respect[ing] their users".
Bezos' Annual Shareholder Letter
Cool. To be clear, I think that it’s maybe not even possible with symbol versioning, because you need more information than that. The compiler has to know “is this function unsafe or not”, for example, not just “does this symbol exist.” I’m not an expert at symbol versioning, so maybe there’s a way to do this I’m not aware of. There’s also other stuff you’d need, too, I believe... but the real point is, you cannot do it today, and that’s really all I’m trying to say. :)

Lol the image I linked is obviously very different.

There is some groupthink going on here affecting people like you and others. The above is obviously plain.
Sure. I consider that the way we do data science and hire data scientists is a bubble because it´s unsusteinable and business are asking more and more about the returns of the large, expensive investments on "artificial intelligence". No doubt that working with data is getting more and more valuable, but the way it is done today is changing, and fast.

It's per the RFC standard but it cannot be blindly followed in Gmail due to their signups issue.

Yes, they did allow A.B@gmail.com and AB@gmail.com to sign up, and each of these is mapped to a different Inbox. And an email that goes to A.B@gmail.com also goes to AB@gmail.com.

And yes, this opens Gmail users for attacks, phising amplification and much more!

This isn't about Assange trying to crack a password this is about punishing Assange for journalistic work he did. Since such journalism is not a crime in itself they have found some other minor crime which they can make a federal case out of.
So 44% (4.4 billion) of their 2018 revenue was 'Other'.

If this was pure cash going into their bank account, does it mean they ran out of cash in 2018? Their working capital was 4,900 billion at the end of 2018.

The folks involved in the project very likely had nothing to do with the business side of the New York Times website; as well as likely to have the ability to turn off site-wide embedded snippets of code.

> The effort to extradite and prosecute the WikiLeaks founder threatens the free media.

No, it doesn't; press freedom is the right to publish, not the right to actively participate in breaches of non-social (e.g., physical or technical) security measures.

> The charges leveled against Assange stem from the 2010 Manning leaks, which were judged to have been in the public interest by some of the world’s most significant and thoughtful news publishers, who ran some of the revelations in their pages.

News publishers don't have any binding authority to decide what is in the public interest; there is no Constitutional prerogative to an institutional press pardon for criminal offenses. Further, this claim is outright dishonest: the decision to publish some of the information as being information whose publication was in the public interest is not a judgement that the leaks themselves were, on balance, in the public interest.
0.1% the budget because they didn't have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to research and build the last 60 years of space technology - rolling progress forward one painful, costly mistake at a time - to do it. Hardly seems reasonable to use such a comparison or make such a point given the actual context.
Netlify?
The indictment just has to establish enough to arrest the person. And many prosecutors work hard to make sure it contains no more than enough to meet that standard.

They’ll get a chance to amend the indictment before trial.
It would be unfair to say that we must grapple with the particular, legal questions of the current charges but don't have to speak about the general, not-necessarily-legal, questions of Assange's overall behavior.

Al Capone was indicted under charges of tax fraud, though that was not primarily why authorities wanted him. We must consider both consider the justice of those particular charges as well as the justice of general punishment of Capone, whatever the source.

What I mean is that we have to consider both things separately and simultaneously. You're correct that we need to think about if we agree with this particular charge. I'd also say that you have a similar responsibility to say if Assange should be charged for, as you said, "anything else 'bad'" he's done.

I prefer paying for hosting, so I know that "I'm not the product".

I agree with the other posters so far: Static generators are the way to go today. Jekyll + Github Pages is common but I don't like it (I don't "trust" the free nature of Github now that its run by Microsoft. I wanna pay for the service.). Jekyll is a fine program, but the Ruby warts means that its a bit difficult to setup unless you have all your Gems lined up.

Hugo's installation process was far easier and practically does the same thing as Jekyll. Since its easier to setup and use Hugo, I prefer using that. But you really can't go wrong with either.

----------

My preferred webhost is "NearlyFreeSpeech": https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

Its great for static sites and shared hosting in general. The payment options are very clean and clear, and its very cheap. A simple SFTP or RSYNC to transfer your Hugo or Jekyll generated files over, and you're set. Simple if you know how to use command-line stuff.

NFS has a very simple "Lets Encrypt" based command line program to quickly add HTTPS encryption to your site.

---------

Other popular options for static-hosting are Amazon's S3 and Cloudflare. And of course the free options: Github pages, and Neocities.

Ford was working on autonomous stuff before Argo though, from what I understand. Argo was bought I think in hopes that they could significantly advance their tech with startup ingenuity. It's a bit disappointing because I think it's a good testing platform to develop these vehicles in Detroit given our variety of weather and road conditions that would be great for applying all of this in non-ideal conditions, but all I ever see in this city are May Mobility shuttles.

I don't think Waymo is really all that much ahead. Their testing is largely still in very ideal areas. Arizona has been attracting firms not just because they passed some permissive laws, but also because it's a place with lots of sunlight and relativity mild weather compared place like the Great Lakes or the Northeast. Same goes for California. Their progress however looks much better because they're really aggressively testing this stuff in ideal real-life conditions, but I think even they are a long way off from deploying those vehicles to places like Michigan year-round (a state that also has allowances for autonomous driving).

We regulate most professions e.g. builders, doctors, lawyers, pharmacists etc. Why can't we regulate journalists ?

If you did a college/university degree, if you are a member of some association, if you follow some code of practice and abide by some definition of ethics and values then you are a journalist and a protected entity.
Article subtitle: "The failure of the landing highlighted the risks of a fast and cheap approach to space exploration."

I would say the opposite. Not specifically just in reference to this mission but in general. They now have a lot of experience and data to use going forward for "not much" expense. A lot of extremely expensive missions were lost because they didn't have the opportunity to iterate.
> can't imagine how Uber is worth anything

If the operation doesn't make an economic profit, and if there isn't sufficient moat to defend the operation until it can become profitable, then I agree with you it's not worth anything.

But in fact, Uber does have a massive moat -- its network of drivers and riders in thousands of cities around the world. No competitor is even close.

It takes tremendous capital expenditure to build that network, and it will take tremendous capital expenditure to neutralize it.

It remains to be seen if Uber can make an economic profit, but with an operating loss of just 10% of gross revenue, it's not at all inconceivable.
This project wasn't started by the state or by any university. This was a, mostly, volunteer project that wanted to excite children about STEM and space and to educate the young generation. The Prime Minister was invited because it was cool, but it was a private endeavour.

space is hard
Far from it. Both the USA and USSR have crashed multiple landers before successfully touching one down. And that doesn't even count intentional "impactor" missions that came before that.
While you're right in general about a pop, that doesn't really apply to Lyft. Their IPO price was $72 and they're now hovering around $60. They had an initial pop up to around $75 IIRC and then have been on a steady decline since.
You are right. The main problem is that companies thought the full solution would come in a few years and not on a few decades.
A successful landing, followed by rapid unplanned disassembly.
> I don't think the fact that he once worked with a sincere whistleblower

I don't think that it's at all clear that Manning was a “sincere whistleblower”, even if some of the leaked material was in the public interest, so much as a seriously emotionally damaged individual lashing out collaterally and simultaneously seeking external validation in response to signficant personal institutional mistreatment.
Two things about VSC, in comparison to Atom, that are Done Wrong:
1) Extensibility. There's like a dozen times more friction involved in creating a plugin for VSC than for Atom. Atom was built to be as easy to change as a web app. They also created apm, which is sort of a clone of npm, for installing plugins.
2) Configurability. I can set personal keyboard shortcuts very easily, and in a way that's easily transportable between installations. I can create a new theme in minutes. Also, the way it handles the config for individual packages is well thought out. Plus, I can tarball my packages directory, extract it to a new machine, and it's basically ready to go with everything.

It's very possible for VSC to improve in these areas. In fact, I'd love to see an "Atom mode" that changes the UI/UX to more closely resemble Atom (and, somewhat by extension, Sublime). You laugh, but there's a reason that every editor takes a swing at a "vim mode". People get comfortable with the aesthetics of their tools.
No, they would have been the 4th country to land on the moon. Both ESA and ISRO have previously conducted (intentional) impact missions.
I have something on the order of 20m^3 worth of clothes. I'm seriously weirded out by how none of the "fashion tech" companies do anything regarding appropriate outfits for the weather conditions. 50% of my outfit choosing time is spent figuring out whether fleece works for 0C-but-windy, what the right number of layers is for stuffy public transit, breezy outside, and chilly office AC, and whether something is at risk of majorly embarrassing malfunction if I run. I don't need an AI to have taste for me (thanks but I have it we can't all be clueless-and-nerdy...), I need it to have fast, appropriate decision-making in case my original plan falls through because of surprise snowfall.

You're welcome to make a startup based on that idea ;) up here in Canada where we have real seasons I'll find you some great test users!
