I find basecamp's refusal to add useful features quite obnoxious and I avoid it like the plague. It seems to work well for mamagers and creative types that just basically want to share files and short term tasks/TODOs.
February-ish is normally acceptance letter time, but it doesn't make sense. He'd already graduated, and nobody get an MBA and then applies for further graduate study.
It seems there's an opportunity for additional employment there.

The waste is a problem, cleaning and disposing is an undesirable task.

I wouldn't say that you can't correctly diagnose the failed AOA sensor in the majority of cases, but the conditionals to disable a safety system are probably going to have to be more rigorous than "AOA changing between extremes without significant change in pitch, airspeed or altitude". Just for starters, imagine you've hit a particularly violent updraft and then a downdraft... Though I'm not sure if such weather conditions would exist anywhere you'd plan to fly an airliner.

(And I'm kind of being "perfect is the enemy of good" here, sorry. Any "AOA sensor is wonky, disable MCAS" methodology would probably have resulted in better outcomes than the one they used. It's just that none of them are really perfect)

How's this doing the push notifications? If it's using the trick that FastMail is/was using, I believe Apple stopped supporting the project that was enabling creating those push certificates in the first place.

I'd assume FastMail gets a pass on the notifications trick due to time implemented, but wouldn't a smaller player be SOL?
Uh, no. In the 1400s, the maritime powers in the western fringes of Europe were attempting to build seagoing routes to modern Indonesia and Australasia that bypassed the Venetian and Ottoman trade monopoly, and aimed to use their sea power (mostly, fast sailing ships with guns on board to shut out potential competitors) to do so. Columbus argued that it was easier to cross the Atlantic Ocean to do so, but had a bad map and underestimated the size of the Atlantic. He was saved by the fact that there happened to be another landmass where he thought China was instead, and there wasn't much interest or activity until people realized that the natives were literally covering their houses with money (at least, what the Europeans thought of as money--the natives didn't think the same way), and, well, the rest is history.
Which is, IMHO, a ridiculously short-sighted approach that ignores the difference between theory and practice.

If there is a vuln in (or before) the GPG signature check, using HTTPS has a good chance of making it a lot harder to exploit (because the attacker will likely need to get into a trusted position instead of MitMing any HTTP connection).

"Far less valuable" depends on whether access to your site is particularly valuable. If you hash passwords once on the client and twice on the server, your site itself is no more secure than if you only hashed passwords once on the server (and not on the client). If you hash passwords once on the client and once on the server, your site itself is drastically less secure. The secondary protection of shared passwords on other sites, from a narrow class of data compromise involving request logs, is not the purpose of hashing, so you have not actually contradicted my statement.

If you are concerned about transmitting passwords, use SRP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Remote_Password_protoco...) instead of inventing your own bad crypto.
Versatility is one of the main things offered by a physics degree. It might not be the most preferred degree in a given area you're likely to move into, but it's probably at least acceptable.
Exactly. The brains were actually donated due to suspicion of CTE and one of them was a punter who died in a motor cross accident.

The game is only getting safer right now. IMO there’s no reason to play tackle football before the middle school level but after that I have zero issue. I played offensive and defensive line in high school and have been following these studies closely; there’s a ton of scare mongering and data slanting happening to create the headlines and very little coverage being given to rule changes to make the game safer.
Initially wolves will prosper as the food source is abundant. The net change in poop will go slightly up. Adding wolves to the biosphere will make it more diverse and green. See Yellowstone. Eventually though wolves will consume all of the available resources, birth rates will fall, and migration will start. The poop will lessen. At some point we’ll reach a stasis where the wolf, homeless, and poop is in equilibrium.
Look at the appalachian and pacific crest trails. Its really hard in occidental countries to be more than 50km from a city, so you always have places to buy food.

I guess it depends on... what "work" means. So I worked on Deep Networks for quantum chemistry (I'm not a physicist or chemist but) I can tell you people were ecstatic about the possibility that the approximations that the neural nets come up with might get closer to real physics than current approximations right now. This w/o any needed advancements. Some challenges are so difficult in these areas that approximations are the best that are possible. It's kind of similar to drug discovery now.. like if there are models which can help narrow down potential molecules / targets, that has tremendous potential even if the system needs to be double checked by a person. So it's hard to see "don't work" as anything but buzzy. BUT I will agree with you neuroscience will help develop our understanding of cognition.

I just wanted to blast these other applications, because I think people get this idea that AI has to be AI for anything interesting to happen... but there are really niche applications where people don't think these tools are experimental. And what you describe may already be happening, Geoff Hinton's critique of modern deep nets seems to be a call to get more biological. (Thinking of capsules nets).

Counterpoint- "the community that will not allow you dignity" is not a homogenous entity. The city of San Francisco contains multitudes, many of whom are compassionate individuals who take active measures to help those on the streets. By pooping on the sidewalk / in front of City Hall / etc., one indiscriminately targets both those who are compassionate and those who aren't.

Furthermore, one isn't likely to create a community that does allow dignity for all, without first winning the hearts and minds of the less-than-compassionate members of the public. And one isn't likely to win those people over by pooping on their doorstep.

Most recent version of Ubuntu.

There will be pain. You get the choice of horrendously outdated software where really annoying bugs don't get fixed for 2 years (if you go with LTS) and major upgrades that rarely go smoothly every 6 months (if you don't).

I'd recommend not going with LTS; one day you'll hit some missing feature in GIMP, Inkscape or whatever you're using and start cursing your life choices.

If you are disciplined enough to document the changes you make to the system (installed packages, changed settings, anything outside your home dir basically) you can simplify your life a lot, because you can reinstall from scratch easily. While the update process has gotten better, old wisdom often suggested to reinstall instead of attempting an in-place upgrade.
I’d argue it is “best practice” to present credentials to an authentication server, and provide a token to the various user services to reduce the impact of things like over-logging.

You wouldn't have any planes (trains or automobiles) under such a standard. Keep in mind that horses killed far more people per mile than planes, trains or automobiles ever did.
You can set a different scale for each monitor, and it will remember it every time you connect it. Windows has improved a lot in the past few years in this regard, and I rarely notice any scaling errors anymore.

I have a Surface Pro 3 that works best at 175% scaling, and every day I connect it to a 27" 1080p monitor at 100% scaling. When dragging a window between the two, it will switch to the other scaling factor when it's halfway across. It works very well, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Maybe take another look at it?

I have also experienced the pain of trying to setup Ubuntu on my SP3, and eventually gave up and went back to Windows because it was such a nightmare. Which is weird, because I seem to remember that Ubuntu used to support non-integer scaling factors in the past.

I work with a group using machine learning for drug discovery (I'm not a biologist/chemist) but the bio people around me loved to talk poorly about Watson's drug discovery tool.

Lots of focus on the algorithms in the comments here, but from what I could glean generally they lacked domain experts when developing the datasets... we spend 90% just finding the best data... and even then it's tricky. I think they may have had lower standards for the input into the system... garbage in garbage out.

The intern probably had direct access to the data and access to the people with domain knowledge inside the company.

The engineers at IBM were probably separated from the problem by many layers of bureaucracy (meetings, project managers, technical specs).

I have a degree in Engineering Physics where I concentrated in Electrical Engineering. I also minored in Industrial Design. I currently work at a product design firm as an "Embedded Systems Engineer", where I primarily design and write software for embedded microcontrollers and microprocessors and couple that with user experience design.

I have been able to utilize my understanding of physics to work on things like designing sensors into products that require real world math (motion, position, motor control, etc), though not as extensive as it could be if it were academic research. And have used my circuits foundation to understand how to get answers in the realm of embedded micros.

The thing I emphasize the most though, is understand where you want to have an expertise and make it happen, work on it. Mine is embedded software with a user focused design process.

Fresh out of college, your degree is not going to separate you unless it's coupled with experience from internships, school projects, or personal projects.

My opinion is that a degree in engineering provides foundation, but real world experience is where you grow and learn for your career.

Side note: You mentioned "other than learning code", I think that is a valid option to supplement this degree. I started writing code in eighth grade, so it was something I was already doing and interested in. I never wanted to be a plain ol' software developer, so this path was good for me.

TL;DR Went to school for Engineering Physics, I am happy with my career path, but took it upon myself to find a way to provide value beyond the name of my degree.
The graph in the article shows a pretty steady upward trend in the number of poop reports. There's no real spike corresponding to the bag ban.
It pains me that this is mainly a list of (well, first it pains me that this is a list at all and the idea anyone would seek to learn from it is heartbreaking) of apps that happen to be current in the field as though knowing what submenu in Photoshop contains a certain option is useful.

To implement, yes. But you'd have to think about this as a problem first. The very fact that we're having this discussion here now shows that it's not all that obvious, at least for your average dev. How their privacy and/or security review missed it is a more interesting question.
Getting a Bit Rusty
This appears to be what happpened.

If so, it amounts to criminal negligence. People should go to jail, but if anybody does, it will certainly not be the ones ultimately responsible. Most likely Boeing will pay fines and court judgments, something probably already factored into their stock price, impacting people holding the stock this year, not those who might have demanded better management five years ago.

Certainly the whole top tier of management should be fired, but that won't happen either.

In one class we we're building a custom circuit to talk to a custom 8-bit computer over the ISA bus. I accidentally put one chip upside down (it was some off brand and I mistook a scuff on one end for the marker for which way is up) and killed the DOS PC :P

The custom 8-bit computer was fine though.

I also didn't say that restrooms aren't provided, but it seemed like it wasn't obvious to everyone why inconvenience or lack of dignity leads to non-use.

- Kathy Griffin and her famous bloody head photo

- Jim Carrey and his gruesome drawings

- Chris Evans attacking the Covington Catholic high schoolers (along with others)

- etc.

So why publicize only the right siders? It seems to me there's room to ban some on both sides.
My favorite configuration for my day job (big tech company, writing high availability storage firmware):

- Ubuntu

- Git, mercurial, fd-find, ripgrep, exa.

- Vim + spf13 + ctags + cscope as a fallback for text-only sessions.

- Eclipse CDT: most of my work is C/C++, huge code bases, kernel and userspace. Nothing beats CDT in terms of navigation (go to definition, call hierarchy, class hierarchy, to name a few). It's a little tricky and involving to get the indexing right, but totally worth it.

- Gdb and crash (life savers!).

For my side projects (mostly rails), it's pretty much the same as above on a mac and vscode instead of eclipse.
Trying to grow a stack too much will cause a segmentation fault, which is recoverable but usually not something you would want to do.

Anarchists used the socialist red flag most of the time. They switched to black flags when red flags became forbidden in protests e.g. in France after the repression of the Commune. They used a loophole there: they said that this was not a political symbol but a sign of sorrow and commemoration.

Later on, communists and anarchists would part ways, mostly during the Russian revolutions even though some diverged earlier.

But make no mistake, there is very little ambiguity in most historical anarchist movements: their ideals are socialists. The reason why a lot of them they rejected communism was not because of their socialist ideals, but because of the policies they implemented in practice, that were very authoritarian. Anarchists were very early considered political opponents by USSR. Censorship for instance is totally incompatible with anarchism.

Yes, generally you have to use something like a bill.com or routable (https://routable.com/) if you want to track an AP flow starting with the bill in that way.

(There's a more premium version of Pilot Plus where you basically just forward the bill to bill.com and we'll code it and submit it for approval for you, etc.)

As for expense and revenue accruals, you and we have to mutually agree on a mechanism for you to communicate that information to us. Exactly what that mechanism is will depend on the details of the revenue or expense accrual, but sometimes this is as simple as "You tell us you have a recurring expense of X amount, so you need to accrue y% of it every month", sometimes it's just you report "I'd like to accrue X", etc.

> The agency’s projection that the system will “no longer provide [required] risk reduction as early as 2023” illustrates the rapidly changing conditions being experienced both globally as sea levels rise faster than expected and locally as erosion wipes out protective barrier islands and marshlands in southeastern Louisiana.

The article repeatedly refers to sea level rise without noting the contribution of this factor relative to erosion. Equal? Highly tilted toward sea level rise? Does erosion account for most of the problem, and if so how does one separate this factor from seal level increase?

Neither the article nor the source document offer much insight:

Also from the article:

> “I think this work is necessary. We have to protect the population of New Orleans,” Vuxton said.

I'm not so sure, especially because the full costs of doing so appear to be so uncertain.

How much money will people living in other states be willing to dump into a cause with cost increases as far as the eye can see? It's not like sea level rise is expected to suddenly stop dead in its tracks.

Ever-greater engineering efforts are one option. Mass evacuation of the most vulnerable areas is another. There may be options in-between.
what should be done for cities like new orleans as sea levels continue to rise? trying to save them feels like a losing, expensive battle - but "moving a whole city" feels even harder
I'm not sure. Given all the romhacks of SMW produced in the last couple of years and nobody getting sued (even though the authors are known/popular), I don't think they'd bother with suing for the C64 port. Just search for "romhack" on twitch.tv if you haven't seen those yet.

I probably didn’t provide enough nuance in my original comment. I think we’re in agreement that ownership can be a productive feeling. I agree that giving stuff away isn’t guaranteed to lead to a sense of ownership. The main idea I’m submitting here is that, if we can somehow give more people the opportunity to experience ownership, society will function better. Stuff like what we’re seeing in SF is less likely to happen. If we’re in agreement then the question is, how do we go about giving more opportunities for ownership in society?
To be fair, anyone claiming to be an anarchist and not strongly opposed to neo-nazis would be in a weird ideological spot.

Historically, anarchists have always fought authoritarianism. Anarchism often seems vague as an ideology because its foundation is not an ideal, but the rejection of the values that are at the core of the fascist ethos.
