Only a very, very small selection of cars support this.

As it stands now, the documentation is very much misleading as Smartcar makes it sound as if you can use this on any vehicle. Look again at sahaskatta's response, he/she made it sound as if you just have to read the docs to 'unlock your car with an app'. But in reality, you'll also need to have a brand new and very specific car if you want to do this.

Sahaskatta also asked for 'any feedback I have'. I gave that and now I'm being downvoted for my criticism...
Out of curiosity, why do you have Python on your list? Python doesn’t really support metaprogramming? I’ve written my fair share of Python but don’t remember ever coming across anything meta in the language. Even if it has some passing implementation, it definitely doesn’t have it in the way Lisp/Julia/Rust/etc have it.
There is no call in the article for a deeper C++ code analysis by the compiler. Deeper analysis will be the future of C++ - the article fails to foresee this.
I can recommend this one too! It skips right over the boring stuff and focuses on the (Dave-Thomas-flavored-) good parts. Definitely worth it if you're already somewhat proficient in Elixir.

Github is a publishing platform. Publishing is the act of releasing something for distribution. Cloning or forking a repo is the standard method of distributing something using Git. All Github's terms of service do is ensure it's clear that if something is published to their platform, they will distribute it in those ways.
I love it. Defining a global variable by adding a property to Object.prototype is clever indeed.
I agree with your main point - it's the inequity that's the point.

In the UK tampons and pads have VAT charged on them (as they count as a luxury); there is a campaign to remove this and it has been reduced to 5%, but it's still there (due to EU regulations I believe).

As a side point, in many parts of the world, toilet paper is not an essential; it's regarded as a dirty and unclean western practice.

5g Detrimental to Insects
I switched to OpenShot about 2 months ago after working exclusively in Premier Pro for 3 years. I made the change because the price I paid for Premier simply wasn't justified for my video needs. I had looked at many free editors in the past and never found one that could handle 1) variable framerate, and 2) .MOV with transparency. OpenShot does so with very little trouble. It took me a little while to adjust to the UI and shortcuts, but I'm doing daily videos with minimal editing, and my editing time is comparable to what I experienced with Premier Pro. The only thing I "miss" from Premier is the built-in audio de-noiser... but I was using it as a crutch for poorly captured in-camera auido and have since fixed my audio setup.

Being a nice guy to today's society often meant being that person in your story.

I am also one of them. And after all these years is still no good at salary negotiation. And unless you are exceptionally good and could afford to do consultation, ( which isn't really a thing in my country ) you still have to suck it up.

I know I am late. But I am starting to think may be claiming the ladder is a different set of skills.
I evaluated it against a few other free (beer/speech) ones recently. I've used OpenShot a bit in the past for very clunky short videos and found it decent enough for basic clip editing but I was looking at editing longer clips that would have lots of cuts (i.e. camera was just left recording and there were multiple "takes" in one very long clip).

I dont think OpenShot supported ripple-delete? At least I couldn't work out how to do it anyway. In my limited experience of video editing, ripple delete is up there as one of the core features I'd say (way ahead of any fancy transitions or effects).
> include only elements that have a somewhat settled, "obvious", lowest-common-denominator semantics

Can you, from the top of your head, tell me what irregular modified cylindrical Bessel functions are and the last time you needed to use one? And yet, they were included in the standard library in C++17: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/special_math/cyl_b...
I have read the article and I have no clue how the facial recognition is responsible.

Instead of giving snarky comments you could at least acknowledge that the article is utter garbage.

The only link between the thief and the person who was arrested is the NAME.

Edit: and here is better article:

https://googleness.com/unitedstates/student-sues-apple-for-1...

Apple identified (using facial recognition) the same person who stole multiple items across different states and since the thief used a fake name - they associated all crimes with that name.

So in the end the only link was NAME due to the stolen id.
Native pointers do a bunch of different things depending on the context. In contrast, optional has clear semantics.

For instance, the ++ operator doesn't work for std::optional. For a native pointer, you just have to know (how?) not to use it.
Linear regression should be regarded as the statistical equivalent of stripping down a rifle, reassembling it and checking its function. If you develop any statistical software, you're going to end up doing it at some point.

I've tried both. I think for basic tasks the openshot ux is more refined and it's what I gravitate towards.

Kdenlive seemed a bit more powerful but it was harder for me to understand how to use it.

Unlike others I've never had any technical issues with openshot. I use the output preset profiles and it does great for me.

Disclaimer though, my need are very basic.
Sure, I know there are ways I could work around it. But I shouldn't have to. It's supposed to be easy for a visitor to refuse consent for all that unnecessary tracking - which has no justification in terms of legitimate interest for the purpose of publishing a news article. It shouldn't require technical countermeasures (that 99% of users will not understand).

If they don't offer an opt-out that is as easy as opt-in, I'm going to assume malign intent on the part of the site, and they can do without my traffic.
Also, better comparisons are perl, python, ruby, etc. Many other languages have centralized package repositories, but they aren't controlled by a for-profit, venture-backed company.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that npm inc's model is a new way to develop and operate a language's repo sustainably. Python, for example, has struggled to get the resources to evolve theirs. I'm not sure npm's approach is working well in practice, though.
Just thinking aloud, but GitHub could warn, when setting up new projects that don't have an OSS license, that the user may wish to make the repo private.
Sometimes you could get on the plane and buy the ticket aboard.

I remember the first time I encountered a metal detector at an airport (my parents were concerned that it would terrorize us kids but I just thought it was interesting). Before then we just walked onto the plane, like boarding a train.
> Of all the kitchen-sink features that Nim has, I can't accept camelCased == under_scored names otherwise it could have been first.

Just to clarify for the general public (because this is often a source of confusion and misunderstandings): first letters are case-sensitive in Nim, so you can do `var car: Car` (where `car` is a name of the variable, and `Car` is a type).

When it comes to style-insensitivity, I also thought this would be a problem when I discovered Nim, but now—2 years later—there was not even one situation where that would cause a problem. (And if you use different styles of the same name to mean different things in other languages: this will bite you sooner or later)

Nim's standard library is written uniformly in camelCase style, which is what I also accepted for my code (even though I come from snake_cased Python).

So why this even exists? To make easier to use libraries written (in another language, e.g. C) in another style, while keeping the uniform style in your code. Basically, this feature makes it easier to use just one style consistently.

To conclude:

If this is the only (or just a major) thing that keeps you from using Nim: I would suggest you to reconsider and give it a chance.
It tries to do html, but it is limited. So I'd rather use Javascript to manipulate the frontend directly.

It tries to do functional programming, but the documentation is not satisfying. The responses and behaviour is perplexing.

I spent around 5—10 hours trying to get a Shiny GUI to work and eventually got to the conclusion that 1) if you want a big project do all the frontend stuff in something else, like JS and 2) if you want a small project try something established (I am not advocating, it's just an example) like Power BI.
From what I can see, the whole point of C++ is to wrap existing C libraries and call them OO :-)

The last Electron app I've used (one of these new chat apps, forgot the name) was dog slow (on my $700 computer from 2018), and gave my computer a hang up (probably triggered a graphics driver issue, or sth related with too much memory consumption).
The article links to a design document that clearly states that this is a new system. Modern journalism still way better than some random guy commenting on HN. qed
I cannot understand why I would use Python over R. R is designed from the ground up for massive amounts of data processing at speed and with ease. Even if Python continues accreting computational functionality, it will never be as fast or as efficient as R. Improving Python for something R is designed to do seems to me to be a huge waste of time: familiarity should not be the driving force behind replicating R's functionality. That's just so wrong.
It’s still nice to have a decent denoiser for those times when your audio doesn’t come out how you were expecting.

Everything can go right on a shoot and for whatever reason the audio comes out bad. It’s nice to have a backup option for when you really need it.
Social pressure on this is also ridiculous. Every time you start doing things, even if you actually stick to it as a hobby to make you happy, people, inc. family, will go "but you could make money out of this".

Don't fall for it. Most of us will not be able to do money from art, from photography, from aikido. Enjoy it, do it for your own sake, to balance your life.

Why do airlines even need to know your name (much less your gender — remember the press ballyhoo a few months ago when some airlines expanded their list from male and female)?

I can see that they might want to know that each passenger has paid for the seat but that’s about it.
Thinking about this a bit more, I think what I'm trying to say is that Zeno's paradox is more about supertasks than it is about the problem of computing the sum of an infinite series. There's a nice summary article that I found here:

I can understand that. But, do you debate specific points in the article based on the views you formed by NOT reading it?

I get that some comments can be interesting without reading the article. But someone discussing and finding fault with an article they haven't read (properly?) ... that's the bit that just baffles me.

Reading the article seems like a reasonable minimal entry requirement, IF someone wants to discuss the content itself.

This idea ignores the levels at which we are manipulated on today's social media platforms. The manipulation is so inherent in the platform that we don't even realize it's happening. This is a different thing from say, a statement like "There's nothing stopping people from going back to riding horses instead of driving cars." Cars didn't manipulate where you went. They just made it easier to get there.

Social media platforms control, manipulate, curate and dictate the destination you arrive at all in an effort to generate clicks and then cash. They are a different thing, playing on our basest instincts and we have to ask ourselves if they actually are net benefits.

The title is editorialised ("5g Detrimental to Insects") which is not what the original title is, nor what the conclusion actually states - which is that at >6GHz RF energy absorption increases. The conclusion suggests that this may have effects, but didn't actually study those or figure out what they were.
There are two seperate parts to a financial judgement.

Both parts need to be considered.
Why is that weird - its weird that post ww2 that there wasn't more of a backlash against id cards in Europe.
I feel this too. It's perverse and it makes it feel like nothing is worthwhile unless it scales and earns a profit. I get that it's all in my head, but it's a real undercurrent in the west, particularly in tech. I'm not quite sure how to free myself of it...

It's useful as well for describing tipping points in network effects, the power of tools or products that have multiple interlinked features and uses, conditions for non-linear growth, and moving from applicability to enough specific cases as to become a new form of a general case.
Everything profits from wide terminals, except the user who has limited screen space. (And while you can in theory buy more screen space, turning your head all the time has a large cost)
ACE was an attempt that is basically dead.

There was some talk about an std2, but I gather support for it is too low to be pursued seriously.
The MVC approach seems to have been abandoned.

I typically write my code as a library that can then be called by an interface (or other program) rather than as a monolithic unit. Also makes it easier to run on diferent devices.
This is too dystopian for me. I'm increasingly thinking of moving somewhere less technological. Let the fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

About the only thing I could see you getting in Denmark is a cost of living raise or maybe something to the whole department or team.

Some EU countries have a much stronger emphasis on sectoral bargaining. (Often there's a formal mechanism for everyone to work together to negotiate more pay)
"It doesn't make sense to invest time into R if one already knows python unless one specifically focusing on academia pure stats type stuff."

Ha! I knew it! So it is familiarity with Python then!

R does have something else going for it: phenomenal documentation and consistency. Replicating R's thousands of available libraries will be a gargantuan effort. It is cheaper and more efficient to master R.
Some people have turned off all notifications without reading any book ;)

Incidentally, I know this is iOS, but the OS X of old was very good at not letting any background stuff disturb your work. These days we have notifications even on the desktop and apps that steal the focus just because they displayed a dialog. Not even Apple is what they used to be.

It doesn't matter what they "want". The fact is they becoming totalitarian by banning speech, even if they say it is the opposite.

Yeah I was speaking about Tegel. If you fly out of the main rotunda, it's great because every gate has its own security and bag drop so there's no long waits, even if it's busy. Schonefeld is like any other budget airport.

Yes, that has been going on for a little while now. It started with refugees having to have such, and is getting rolled out wider now.

It is rather a pointless exercise, since people can slip past the border, and once within the country there is no need to carry or produce ID. So as long as one avoids interactions with the authorities, one will not be tracked.

About all it will do is allow a count to be kept of the number of law abiding (non EEA & non Swiss) foreigners within the country.

If Brexit ever does occur, it may then also include the EEA countries and Switzerland (depending upon what reciprocal travel arrangements develop), but would not include the Irish.

This has happened to me. I was learning Haskell until finally the pressure of "how will this help me pay bills" persuaded me to stop and learn Python instead. Even with Python there's the pressure of "I can't make an online sideproject by it" which has tempted me at times to switch to JS, but I've resisted that so far.
In pandas you could/should use dataframe index and column labels that way, it automatically aligns by column and index names before arithmetic, unlike raw numpy arrays which aligns by position. It takes more discipline and some performance hit though.

You could even do it with SQL field (column) names and natural joins. The performance hit is even bigger and discipline/retraining is even bigger, as few SQL users are used to thinking about column names (rather than types) as type definitions.

Further, this would only catch a class of bugs that are relatively easy to spot manually. The difficult case is when the processes that generated the numbers have slowly changed in time (e.g., you have a very different mix of visitors/customers now than during model training).

I'm doing the opposite - doing unpaid work for a local hackspace like caring about the local non-profit mesh network and doing it-stuff for a local university group.

People just don't seem to grasp the concept at all: a lot ask why we run the mesh network and how we finance it - if you explain them it's run for free and there is no profit motive they think you are crazy. It's also surprisingly popular to assume for free = useless - some declined running a node due to this.

On the other hand working for free in uni context is basically self-slaverly - lot's of work, lot's of stuff breaks constantly if you run your typical FOSS stuff and nobody is seeing the work and most don't care or at worst you are blamed and new people advocating their favorite commercial cloud services.

It's still fun and I can learn a lot, run some infrastructure for free where I can test stuff but you really need to be careful to not foul yourself and depending on the org you are in to not just work for free.

The saddest thing about the university thing is: If you advocate to pay that position a lot of - I'm just blunt here: "rich kids" advocate against it because you are at uni anyway and they tell you it's an honour to do this... however if they don't get refund for partly insane travel costs for their university pet project hell breaks loose...
Try to find other ways to justify spending time on it. I often justify spending time on stuff because I know I will learn a new skill. Or spend time on stuff where there is a social aspect, where others depend on you.
