As far as I understand, the quoted figure was meant to be reparations.
Do you need this much money? Can't making money be experienced as a game?
Python provides the buffer interface, however (which `array` module implements), which links Python's buffers and memoryviews to numpy arrays to multiple other 3rd-party array-like and table-like types and structures.
Same process applies in Switzerland.

You must apply in person for a new passport and your picture and finger prints are captured and integrated into the passport.

Fingerprints, however, are stored in a central database. This was (and is) extremely controversial and the official reasoning was verification in case a passport needs to be replaced.
The ones who realize this have a greater chance at achieving long term security.
>> "rich kids" advocate against it

Of course they do. That's their direct leverage against those who actually need money to live on. You don't need to be smarter - you just need to work for free. At the end of their degree they'll be the ones with an interesting portfolio and poorer won't.
It gets weirder, often they'll insult you because it's not a 'real job'.

I still cannot understand but to many, sitting at a desk idleing is incomparably better than doing something on your own. Be it maths, electronics .. doesnt matter.

> In my experience the minute you share your work with others, that’s when it becomes slightly less fun and it’s all downhill from there.

Unfortunately, this is often true -- but there are exceptions. I've had a couple of projects where the experience has been almost entirely positive. There's a lot of satisfaction in seeing that something I designed and created purely to suit my needs has turned out to be used and appreciated by others as well.
If I was mistreated by the police for a few days with no permanent harm, arrester on insufficient evidence, the police should pay me a few hundred or thousand dollar a day, maybe. Apple should pay nothing because because they did nothing wrong by sending evidence to the police.

The real problem is that the government considers arrest without conviction to be a civil duty, not a tort.
> “Maintaining a clean whiteboard is much more of a pain,” he said. There’s the cleaning fluid, which costs money, and the chemicals can cause health problems.

A clean blackboard is not that fun either. To clean it nicely you need to sweep the whole of it down vertically with a wet sponge. This requires a water source and it's a messy deal. In high-school there was a daily designated pupil who was responsible for wiping down the boards and keeping a wet clean sponge.

> That all suddenly felt silly when my first was born. (...) I think one of the greatest boons of parenthood, for me at least, is the complete and total conviction and faith that I'm doing something meaningful with my life.

As a soon-to-be parent, I really worry that I start thinking like this. I mean, there must be something more to life than just growing to adulthood and having children, who'll then grow to adulthood and have children, ad infinitum.
I think it's quite ironic that even below that short note I can see an ad.

> Can you write down the algorithm that you use to avoid writing memory bugs? Can you teach others how to do it?

Structure the code in a way such that it is obvious what happens. Use "semantic compression" (e.g. be clear about your concepts and factor them in free standing functions), but don't overabstract/overengineer.

Eliminate special cases. If the code has few branches and data dependendencies, then successful manual testing gives already high confidence that it will be pretty robust in production.

Prefer global allocations (buffers with the same lifetime as the process), not local state. This also makes for much clearer code, since it avoid heavy plumbing / indirections.

I tend to think that modern programming language features mostly enable us to stay longer with bad structure. And when you hit the next road block, fixing that will be correspondingly harder.
My work implies long periods of desk-sitting while cutting a large problem into small ones, then focusing on each one. This "Descartes/algorithmics FTW!" way may sound familiar to some...

Practicing a physical and skill-based activity implying many simultaneous urgent inputs tremendously enhances my focus and attention span. Most martial arts are adequate.
What are these reasons to be optimistic? Experience is that nuclear is big and complicated, and doesn't produce good experience effects. Technologies that experience rapid improvement tend to be things that involve small items produced in high volume, with rapid design iteration.

I think nuclear energy optimism is largely based on wishful thinking.
I agree, they've done a bang-up job pivoting the company towards driving traffic towards their cloud services.

That said, they spent so many decades driving towards desktop OS sales that plenty of ruts and lane barriers remain. Those things were designed for lockin in terms of APIs, file formats, and with no interest in portability. Now, they're eroding but still enough to be a major irritant. Eg, good luck using Teams to have an actual meeting cross platform. Eg, dotnet has made progress but portability is still painful.
I don't see how you can blame something for adding complexity based on what other people _think_ is an anti-pattern.

In fact, it's most of the times not desired to update your store before you know the data has been validated anyway. The store should always be the source of truth, but that also means that it should be valid.

That's the approach I am going with in any case when working with some kind of global state.
If apple giving evidence to police is their fault, then the kid giving a billion dollar lawsuit to the media is his fault.
I don’t know why you’re bringing up these hypotheticals: Apple is equally likely to have not lied to the police. Do you believe they were purposely acting in bad faith?
... and with proper use of Design Patterns!
Will do! Thanks for building ;)
I wonder how many people bought at 19K USD (or anything between 5.5K and 19K) and are now in the red, or indeed if they bought at e.g. 19K and sold at 15K, swallowing 4K of losses.

For sure there are Lamborghinis out there bought with people's retirement money.
I dunno, maybe a couple thousand dollars, assuming there was no permanent harm?
> If I'm going to walk into any physical store with that technology inside

Alas, in London, that technology is being trialled outside by the police (and, if you believe certain people, is already active on the inLink kiosks)
You've been posting a lot of uncivil and/or unsubstantive comments and we'll ban the account if it continues. Could you please review the guidelines? The internet has plenty of snark already; we want to hear what thoughtful and insightful things you have to share.

Our press' is complete shit. It focuses on trivialities instead of real political issues. Not their fault though, it is an economic reality forced upon them.
Very nice build indeed! I was comparing it with Lambdas build and it's pretty good on comparison, any thoughts on the Threadripper vs Intel? Also regarding the PSU, I've seen some pretty nasty reviews on that one (https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-HERCULES-1600-Continuous-Has...). How did yours perform so far?

we take donations for the mesh-network and organize events with the money and stuff like that - it's not totally without money - some do consulting if asked but we want to keep network non-profit because most users don't have much money.

I hate this dynamic so much. I was in a cybersecurity club (back before every school had a program) and the school fought tooth and nail for every dime they gave us. We got reimbursed for a rental car and hotel once a year for a particular red team/blue team competition and that was it (and a certain professor was the only reason we got reimbursed). The bus going to take "activists" to protest at occupy wall street (or whatever) was paid for no questions asked.
First off, let me assure you that I have a lot of respect for the developers of free software projects like this one, and I hope that it continues to evolve in the future. Still, from a user's perspective, none of the existing open source NLEs have fulfilled my needs, even though my needs are not that exotic.

I'm running a tiny YouTube channel for a few years now and I'm regularly releasing videos on it. I need to edit and render projects in the order of 2 hours or more on a regular basis. This includes simple color grading, cutting, multiple layers of videos and audio, simple effects and transformations (and it must run on Linux).

I have basically tried them all: The MLT-based editors Shotcut, Kdenlive, OpenShot, Flowblade, as well as Blender and Cinelerra. I used Shotcut (which is made by the developer of the MLT framework) for a long time and also contributed at least a little bit, mostly with bug reports and hints where the problem may be in the code. I wanted to like Shotcut, but at the end of the day, all of the solutions were too slow, had too few possibilities to realize what I had in mind, or were too unstable.

After Shotcut even disabled the experimental and unstable feature of GPU-accelerated effects, which really helped to make it usable performance-wise, I finally gave up and tried one of the two commercial, cross-platform NLEs that I'm aware of (DaVinci Resolve). And even though - like I said - I wanted to like the open source alternatives, I have to admit that Resolve is on a whole different level regarding performance and possibilities. (Note that other editors like Kdenlive also support GPU acceleration, but at the end of the day this is a feature of the underlying MLT framework, and it showed that it was about as unstable in Kdenlive as in Shotcut.)

Maybe a NLE is just the kind of application that requires a big(ger) amount of dedicated (and possibly paid) work to really lift it to a level that actually makes it usable in the real world. Especially since the MLT framework is used by so many different editors, which appear to be developed independently, it would be worthwhile to join forces to develop one strong application and the framework itself.

P.S.: If you want to try the free version of Resolve, be aware that features like H.264 support and even audio output using non-Blackmagic-hardware is not available in the free version (not sure about the new beta of version 16), but they work beautifully in the paid version.
That isn't irony, that's proof of what the author is saying...
Obscure notation. what I wanted is:

t_internet - t_arpanet = 2^p

t_history - t_gutenberg = 5^p

where t_internet is in the range [t_arpanet, 210] (in decades) and t_history is in the range [t_gutenberg, t_arpanet] (in decades).

Therefore, if a historic event related to the printing press occured at t_history time (in decades) then the equivalent event related to the net occured at t_internet (in decades), given by te formula:

t_internet = t_arpanet + (t_history - t_gutenberg)^0,43067

where 0,43067 = (ln 2)/(ln 5).
As a boat owner, here are my two favorites:

"BOAT: acronym for 'Break Out Another Thousand'"

"A boat is a hole in the water into which one throws money."

Sadly, it's true. Worth it to me -- for the sublime life experiences I think my family and I wouldn't have had any other way -- but it makes no fiscal sense.
Yes that's bad in the US, many important and high paying jobs ask this question during the interview process, and it could disqualify someone if a roughly equivalent candidate who answers "no" to this question is also in the pool of applicants.

It gets even trickier when applying for jobs related to the government. If nothing else, it adds stress and time to the application process because you have to explain it several times.

Based on the number of articles that get posted on here complaining about suboptimal hiring processes in US tech jobs, I think it's fairly obvious that this guy is not going to have a good time applying to jobs for the rest of his life.
To add to your comment. Manufacturing Consent came out in 1988, 31 years ago. That book manfully built the case that this stuff has been going on for well over a century, but that it really kicked up in the post WW2 era with the erosion of labour-class news media.

Today 6 US media companies control 90% of US media, and any hope one has of the internet disarming them dims more than a little at the sight of a P.A.T.R.I.O.T act author crossing over into the arms of a tech giant.
Add to that that the convenience argument is pretty much bullshit. At least when you apply it to travels in the Schengen countries.

On such flights you essentially (can) check in remotely, receive the QR code via mail and essentially badge yourself into the plane all the way without ever showing ID.

I can't fathom that scanning my face is any faster than that.
(2015) - I wonder if production has been revived since then.
> Anything were you end up collecting stuff, especially things which has gained value over time because of rarity and interest from collectors.

At this point questions might start coming back. Just hope your hobby won't be destroyed by speculators who don't care about it, but see an opportunity to see it like a different stock market.
In the section for 'Schengen Border Checks', under the image of the Russian passport, there is a picture of a scowling Gérard Depardieu[1], which is a thinly veiled attempt at a display of mirth and disdain in equal parts,
by the Directorate General of EU Commission - Migration and Home Affairs.

Although, his body of work and extracurricular activities could provide a further source of fodder for ridicule. However, it reveals the general message from EU after this vote i.e. we don't care if you object and irrespective of your views, this project is going ahead [2].

We're building a product that provides a web interface for creating videos that users can share as stories on social platforms. This includes applying transitions and effects to input images/videos, and generating a resulting video.

Maybe we could be using ffmpeg for this. We never really explored that in depth since OpenShot seemed like an obvious solution :P
Find a hobby that is highly unlikely for you to make any significant amount of money from and it will eventually make you change your mindset.

I'm never going to become the next Avicii but I like to produce music and DJ and while I do make some money from it, it's far from enough to live on and there is no way for me to to go full time on it.

So I stick to it as a hobby because it's fun and a therapeutic way to cope with everyday life, stress etc.
I recall reading this one somewhere:

"There were two happiest days in my life. First one, the day I bought a boat. Second one, the day I sold that boat."
The scrollbar is easy to bring back, though: just scroll a little bit.

> they should have immediately figured out something was wrong

Even if the warrant had looked sufficiently like him to confuse people, it should have been a quick conversation about if he'd lost any ID, what kind, where, and then where he was on certain dates to clarify that he wasn't the thief.

Do US police have to arrest someone to question them?
Try helping someone else. You could discover joy in that. I have a developer friend who is acting as a CTO to a disabled person - taking care of hands-free communication, smart home stuff, etc. It doesn't seem to take a lot of his time and he always seems happy when we ask him.
hmm not bad!
My favorite hobby is playing video games. And programming could be 2~5th position on the hobbies list.

Every time I think about this, I would be so glad I chose to be a programmer, instead of a pro gamer.

Now I can imagine how I would literally hate my life if I chose another path.
I was going to ask if - You - actually read the article, like really read it, or just skim it?

Thanks for answering that question.
Is there some kind of decorative value to random hexadecimal strings that I’m not aware of?
I've spent the past two years remaking my first game from 2013. I know that even though it has come a LONG way since the original, it probably won't sell, but I do it anyway simply because the original was a pile of hot garbage with a terrible engine and I wanted to do better.

Sure, bringing in some extra cash would be nice, but at the end of the day, I get precious few hours to myself at night and on the weekends, so if I didn't take some joy in my hobbies, I'm not sure how I'd stay sane.
As other people in this thread have already pointed out, lots of people have children either primarily or at least partially as a way to attempt to financially secure their future. The OP makes it sound like they're doing it wrong.

PS. I am in no way opposed to the idea of having children.
On the contrary, I find issue in some implementations because they install JavaScript scroll event listeners and can adversely affect scrolling performance. It’s definitely not something that everyone does right.
I do software development and have to also fill some tedious forms now and then. I have a good experience of these three things to boost my productivity:

Shell scripts and Python based automations are good to perform repetitive tasks. Python 3 is everywhere and easily installable, which makes it a good base for writing automations.

Cron helps ensuring the automations are executed on time. This is nice for some backup activities.

Automator (on OSX) is a good tool to connect key events to your automations.

"Say" (the shell command to perform text-to-speech synthesis) is nice way to stay up-to-date on the executions.

I also utilize macro capabilities of editors when working with larger data files.

The trend is that the existing tools are continuously being made more and more powerful which also reduces the need for extra scripting on top of them.

Finally, I'd like to mention that the company I work for, Softagram, https://softagram.com is also offering a tool to boost productivity when working with larger or more risky code changes. The tool automates dependency/risk analysis and offers the output in nicely integrated visual report right to the comment field of pull request in GitHub, GitLab, etc. systems.
On the other hand, this could mean a joint effort to make it more secure, since stakes would be higher.
How is Azure functions still not a lock in? You can’t do anything with what they’ve open sourced.
My experience from teenage/early adulthood as well. Neighbours knew I was the local "computer whiz", so they'd come to me and ask to fix / "devirus" their computers. They always tried to give me money, no matter how much I opposed.
I think this might be an american phenomenon. I live in Germany and almost everyone I know is doing some non-profit work on the side, it's pretty common here.
It makes sense economically, but still feels paradoxical. A similar example would be building houses with 3 bedrooms, where 2 bedrooms remain locked and inaccessible unless you pay for them. So a significant proportion of the population ends up living in 1-bed houses even though there is no scarcity of resource.
I've had the same attitude for a long time, and I've filed away lots of fun project ideas because I didn't see any way to monetize them. My goal has been to get back to those fun projects and hobbies once I have enough income from SaaS apps or investments. If go back to a full-time job, then I would probably start working on them during the evenings and weekends.

I've also been tempted to try making a career out of those fun projects, with YouTube, Twitch, Patreon, etc. I'm a huge fan of Colin Furze, Simone Giertz, Abhishek Singh, and Mark Rober, to name a few. Sometimes you can also leverage your following into a successful Kickstarter campaign. I think it would be possible, but I don't really have the right personality for it, and it's also really hard to make a decent income from YouTube.

If I didn't have to worry about money, I'd probably do it anyway and upload some videos. But only when inspiration strikes, and I would ignore any pressure to keep making videos if I didn't feel like it.

I should also mention that it's awesome when people are willing to pay for some software that solves a real problem. Sometimes you can get more meaning and satisfaction from serving customers and solving a pain point (and earning real money), instead of making a silly project that entertains people for a few minutes. So I'm actually not feeling a strong desire to go back to these silly project ideas, and I find it very interesting and rewarding to build monetized SaaS apps.
This analogy isn't making sense to me at all. Please elaborate.
I don't agree with your interpretation of the story.

Apple associated the criminal's face with the victim's ID. The police arrested the victim. The victim's face was never even in Apple's system! (If I read the article correctly.)

The exact same thing would happen if Apple hadn't used Face Recognition software at all.
I'd just like to thank you for this. I love all your content and have supported the site in the past. But I especially love the curated section - it's better than recommendations I get from other places like Pocket or Instapaper.

Thank you for doing this. Your site is a treasure.
Is it really that different from the housing bubble that popped in 2008? Leading up to that point plenty of people bought houses they couldn't afford with large loans from banks, on the idea of getting rich in a short time.
Somebody at Otonomo used the Smarcar OAuth 2.0 documentation as a reference for their own documentation because it is pretty much the same (as it is for anyone who runs an OAuth 2.0 server).

To conclude from this that Otonomo is "illegally cloning [their] product" is misleading at best. The Smartcar CEO is obviously pissed that they have a direct competitor with more funding so he tries to smear them over some trivialities.
