Ok, lots of separate issues there. In terms of actually using a map I think my original point still stands. You need to use online navigation information to localize yourself within the map before you can use it. There is also the non trivial issue of actually doing a bayesian update of "can I go around this corner" given the error budget coming from how accurate is the map, how accurate is my position within the map and how accurate my other sensors are. Weighting all these probabilities and actually updating the state in a principled way is a bit of a nightmare (given the long tailed and multimodal distributions flying around).
In a well principled controller the lack of certainty of the state should simply result in a more conservative control action. In your vision only scenario the correct control with high uncertainty is caution. i.e. slow down and don't turn until it can work out what is going on. This has nothing to do with sensors. It is possible to be safe with poor sensors but it will probably result in an unacceptable closed loop performance (will drive like grandpa). A big problem here is that it is really hard to get this stuff right. Probabilities will not be actual probabilities and solving the correct control problem is intractable in real time (i.e. actually solving the stochastic program for the optimal control action).
Engineering problems always have constraints, I don't have a problem with a limited sensor set. Sure it is always better to add more sensors but money is a problem. So are logistics. I do have a problem with doing this hard problem badly and practicing in public. Really difficult problem to solve, being cavalier probably isn't the way to go.
Well, the Earth doesn't care about humans, per se.

So the Earth will still come back from it. And even the human species will likely come back from it. But technological society? That's a lot more iffy.

Humans interactions already feature those, so, no, they don't eliminate the possibility of community or the word would have no meaning in the real world.
Handling concurrent requests delivers business value.

Migrating to HTTP/2 delivers business value.

Responsive servers are more satisfying to customers than slow servers. That has business value.

Improving tangible metrics is not done to satisfy your emotions, it's done because of engineering rigor.
Another way to think about this is, for every 32 bit RGB pixel in an image, all the combinations of 16 million colors (or more as high dynamic range, if you forego the alpha channel and use the fourth octet for aditional color space; your choice) for even a 2x2 unit punnet square are quite insane to consider.

Technically, with just four pixels, it's a set of combinations matching the entire IPv6 address space, since it's a full 128 bits of entropy.

A 2 pixel by 2 pixel image, at 32 bits per pixel, packs enough bits to max out all possible MD5 hashes.

Being asked to abandon a current role is way different than Google deciding to remove said positions. It's the same difference between leaving the company and being fired. Even though in both ways you're not in the company anymore, how it was done is an important factor. Google is basically asking the employee to resign instead of telling her that her position has been removed.

Simple: Poland and Hungary are under multiple investigations for turning their systems to "illiberal democracies". Austria is on the list because their right-wing party FPÖ is in control of the security agencies (both police and secret service and military), which has led other EU countries to restrict information exchange with their secret services (https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/spionage-...).

For what it's worth I'd also put Italy on the list, with the open fascist Salvini as Interior Minister they're also not a stellar light of democracy any more.
No, I am not. The US implementing "security" is a embarrassing failure in my opinion. They even created a whole new pointless agency. Probably didn't have enough already...

My national ID is valid for 10 years from now and does not use any biometrics. It was optional, but if I had chosen to add biometric information, it would just be on a relatively insecure device but not in any database. That is a huge difference. Not that I would accept either. So the problem is postponed at least.

It will be inconvenient, but managable. Even if credit card usage will be more difficult, but there are alternatives.

I fully acknowledge to be the weird dude paying the car in cash.
>I strongly disagree. It's quite obvious that the C++ standard library does not need to add support for "common things", because they already exist as third-party modules.

It's not obvious to me at all.

In fact, if that was a valid argument, it would be for C++ not having a standard library at all, as everything (including vectors, strings, etc) also exists as "third-party modules".
What C++ intended and what C++ should have intended are two different things.
Would showing a photo ID have prevented those hijackings? I suspect not but I am ready to learn otherwise.
NVidia is designing their GPUs with C++ in mind as source language.

desktop-GUI: I guess you might be joking here with Electron, I rather use my GPU for something else other than blinking cursors. Even with Cocoa, UWP and WPF, the underlying UI shaders are written in C++.

Embedded: Yes, C does rule over C++, which is a reason why embedded is so open to security exploits due to wrong manipulation of string and arrays.

Parallellism: HPC, FinTech, GPGPU all domains where C++ rules for the time being.

3D game development: C++ is king here, even with Unity the core engine is written in C++. Yes many of us hope to see the day when Unity is 100% written in a mix of C# and HPC#, but even then, LLVM will be part of the stack.

Scientific: Someone needs to write those Fortran and C++ libs called by Python and Matlab.

System development: Google, Apple and Microsoft use C++ on their driver layers for their respective OSes.

IDE tooling: C++ is known for not having IDEs that match what Java/.NET are capable of. Languages that want to take C++'s place, are even worse than C++ in IDE tooling.
its a harmless offense by Apple

Given the way society has a tendency not to wait until a court proves someone guilty and defaults to a "no smoke without fire" assumption of guilt I'm not sure being falsely arrested is actually all that harmless. If this person ever applies for a job and is asked "Have you ever been arrested?" he may have to say "yes" (unless there's a way to expunge all records of the arrest, including any media coverage). That could have a material impact on his future.

It would be nice if GUI desktop environments that already have miscellaneous notification APIs would give you a transient notification when the agent gets a request. That's a low impact change (you can just ignore it) that highlights to users what's actually going on. It improves security passively by giving users awareness.

Your agent _should_ always be where you are (ie not inside a container, a bastion host, or whatever else) because otherwise that means you aren't actually in possession of the key material and there's plenty of opportunity for much _worse_ surprises than with SSH agents if somebody else has the key material.

Because it's where you are, and you're probably not on a 1970s video terminal link but a laptop or something, the agent could just ask you to OK each request out of band, e.g. popping up a "Really log into machine X?" request. Once such a mechanism existed it could be refined (should it let you say "Yes always to requests from machine X" ? How about "Yes always for the next five minutes" ?) and if necessary SSH auth could even be tweaked to better support any real world behaviours that are popular (e.g. I don't recall off the top of my head if the agent can tell from what it's signing either where you're signing in, or where that sign-in was used, but the binding mechanism in SSH auth could certainly enforce either of those if they're determined to be important and don't exist today)
I am assuming you're flying within the schengen zone.

Can I ask what countries you fly in? I fly frequently within the European Union and I am a EU citizen. However, even for flights between the Netherlands and Germany I have to enter my ID details during check-in and it's checked multiple times throughout the trip.

It's not just random checks, but it seems mandatory. When you drop off the luggage they ask for your ticket + ID. When you board the plane, they again ask for your boarding pass + ID. The exception is large, modern airports such as Munich where you simply scan your boarding pass when boarding the plane.

How do you do this? Do you just refuse?

Definitely not the case in the UK - in fact there was quite fuss made when there was a plan a few years back to introduce ID cards.

Mind you I suspect mostly people do carry 'official' identification documents on them most of the time (e.g. driving licenses) but there is no requirement to actually have these on you at all times.

Considering, your first point. Facebook no matter what could use their platform sway elections. That's just part of the problem with centralization. At least with user selected filters there is some decentralization with decisions again.

Really, your second point only applies to calls of violence. Even in the US the exceptions tend linger around violence. Then after that people worry about what is called "inflammatory speech". Mainly since it may lead to violence. However, policies to counter inflammatory speech that are punitive or censorious have problems. First it gives inflammatory speakers a potential real grievance. Secondly, and more concerning is it may limit nonviolent avenues for them to state their believed grievances or views.

How much do we know about how packages behave on the NPM registry?

With no more serious problems than have been seen under the new regime over a much longer period than the new regime has been in place.

Well, no, not literally, because I'm under 50. But I do remember the much lighter than the current regime security checks that were put into place which ended that, and reduced the base rate of security incidents so low that it's nearly impossible to detect whether the much more intrusive current measures have any added effect.

Well, you know one now! I have a copper IUD and I cannot recommend it enough. My body reacts poorly to hormones, so the pill wasn't an option, but a condom-only based approach to birth control wasn't going to work in a monogamous, multi-year relationship - over a ten year period, 86 in 100 women who only use condoms become pregnant [1]. This probabilistically makes sense, given that 10 years includes hundreds or thousands of chances for intercourse. Do check out the NYT article below - it is terrifying!

We must have saved thousands of dollars on condoms at this point, and intercourse is much more enjoyable for both parties (with no unexpected risk for my career).
For some unknown reason (cultural?), while the UID is very popular and obviously the best choice in parts of Europe, there remains some taboo around it in the US... anyway, I wish I could save all this money on disposable products with the cup, but I do not want to risk pulling it out or entangling it.

I guess it comes down to a difference it what people look for. When I set about creating this site, it was because I like getting these deals and try out new software myself, but I found myself missing some of the best deals. So I set up alerts, signed up for lots of fb groups, and checked lots of sites, but it took a lot of time, and suddenly I hade made myself a dashboard. As it is right now, the site does what I personally like, it shows a list of ongoing lifetime deals from any source I can find, and one can get the same info in email alerts or rss subscribtion. Personally I hate comparison tables, because how can I know the person who made them has tested all tools compared and know them well enough to make a fair comparison. So I actually thought it more fair to just post the links. But these comments have given me some food for thought, so I think I need to make things clearer in writing on each page.
> Rust's learning curve isn't exactly a shallow one either.

I don't know how people can be so sure of this. We know essentially nothing about how to teach or learn Rust effectively, it's something that the community is just starting to look at. However, one thing we do know is that the detailed support that the Rust compiler provides to the novice programmer is quite simply unparalleled in other mainstream languages. It's basically the ultimate T.A.
Changing programming language neither reduces the need for test coverage nor does it magically increase coverage.

I was just going to say I've done this in the UK. You put your passport on a scanner and look into the camera, took a full 5 seconds though, but since there are many more of these than border guards it's still faster.
Yes I think there's a ton of potential benefit for facial recognition in terms of streamlining processes which require a lot of ID checks, like air travel, but I would only be OK with it if they implemented it within some parameters which should be enforced with regulation:

- The identification step should be completely anonymized. I.e. the facial recognition step is completely black-box. When I buy my ticket, I submit a photo, and a token is produced which is shared with the airline, and they can compare this token with one which is produced when I show my face at checkin. Like with password storage, even if the facial recognition dataset were somehow compromised, it should not give attackers a way to link my face with my identity. And it should not be possible to type in my name and get to pictures of my face.

- The dataset used to identify me should have a finite lifetime (i.e. from when I check in until the plane takes off) and should be verifiably destroyed afterwards.

- It should be possible to possible to opt-out and identify myself by other means.

R has a nice web development framework called Shiny. While it is not comparable to say Django or Flask, Shiny does make it incredibly easy to share data analysis. If one wants to share statistical analysis or create a data oriented dashboard, then there is definitely a reason to consider R and Shiny. Note that Python has Dash, which is comparable to Shiny, but it is less mature as far as I know.

While previously Shiny was primarily deployed through RStudio's solutions, there are now open source initiatives such as ShinyProxy, introducing Kubernetes as an option for deploying Shiny applications. The latest iterations of Shiny related libraries are facilitating automated testing and deployment. These developments allow companies to use Shiny in production, but it has to be said that the R ecosystem is not as developed as Python's from a traditional software development perspective.

Then make a private repo. Hosting a public repo that a company would have to pay a mechanical turk to scrape every single file from manually by viewing the RAW data is just obtuse.

If you want it open source, understand what that means before complaining about it. Otherwise don't release your software on an open source platform.
A type system changes the need for test coverage because it eliminates whole classes of bugs statically that would need an infinite amount of tests to eliminate dynamically.
Definitely not in the UK.

We had them after WWII until sometime in the 50's when they were removed due to abuse by the authorities. Hence there is still a distrust of them. The scheme recently introduced and then scrapped could have had some interesting consequences.

This is part of why we have such "fun" with the free movement provisions, in that we do not have a population register. Nor a requirement to keep the authorities notified of where we live.

Hence unlike the other EU countries, we can not enforce the 90 day limit on EU folks being here without means to support themselves.
Yes, it is a great course. I also keep myself updated with her newsletters and book recommendations.
I feel like the description we should be using for that class of machine is "former mainframe". (I'm sort of joking)

In seriousness, though, I'm both curious and a little bit skeptical of what user experience benefit that architecture would give over a server-side request queue and a single worker against the queue. That would allow you to pay the cost of networking for the next request while the mainframe is working. You could even separate the submission of jobs from collecting the result so that a disconnected client could resume waiting for a response. Anyway, I'm not saying you needed all that to have a well-functioning system, I'm just not convinced that a single threaded architecture is ever actually good for the user unless it gives a marked reduction in overhead.

A harmless offence by Apple? Consider that AI facial recognition is already known to have a bias which disproportionally affects people of colour [1]. Then consider that in the US the police also have documented bias against the same group [2]. This particular incident may have had a relatively small effect on this individual, but the potential for harm for this group of people when using this technology is increased by its use. That to my mind makes its use unacceptable for law enforcement, at least until this bias is addressed and corrected.

Writing memory safe programs in C++ is possible. Most coding styles and some problem domains don't lend themselves to it naturally, though. In my experience, restricted subsets used for embedded software vastly reduce the risk of introducing errors and make actual errors easier to spot and fix.

It's antithetical to their business strategy. They charge for premium accounts to give access to private repos. Nothing wrong with that, but OP should probably try out Gitlab if he wants an enterprise-level solution for free.
Isn't there a typesystem that can help with this?

E.g., give rows a type, give columns a type, and then if you multiply two matrices, see if the type of the columns of the first matrix and the type of the rows of the second matrix match.

Also, the typesystem could use units, just as they are used in physics.
