You make that sound trivial. It isn't just about barbies. Technology has infinitely times multiplied our communication bandwidth. Giving government complete control over the personal data of people literally makes the government all seeing eye, which has never been possible before.

You might trust your government enough to be okay with this, but don't forget that government is made up of humans, with there own personal whims and idiocricies. Do you really want to live in a world where people around you might have power to completely end you? Will you be able to speak freely in such a world?

This level of power is a very new thing, and the people on higher order (wrongly) think that it's all good and they can keep going about there business as before.

Something has to change.

I think that's extremely dependent on context.

I write mostly SQL and bash and would argue that both languages are not conductive to try to reduce size at the cost of future maintenance.
It really does, if you look at different engineering companies like Rolls Royce whilst the military takeover in Chile, a group of engineers in Scotland stopped working because they knew where their product was being sold too. HN seems to think that Programmers can and should get away with everything. Disturbing to say the least.
For the kind of thing you've just described, a Python script would need just one dependency to do it all in roughly the same number of lines:

Ideally the authorities are working to achieve efficient use of parking space and funding for local government. I suspect such "anti-authority" protestors are not really informed enough to make a reasonable guess as to whether their interventions will be a net benefit. As is, to me, it just seems like people messing with the system because they can't compare the abstract benefits of increased parking efficiency, to the more obvious costs of someone experiencing the displeasure of a parking ticket.

Last time I had my brakes serviced, the workshop didn't know which discs to order because they used two different dimensions in the same model year. I had to come in, they had to take off the wheel, and measure the disc.

So I don't think this is unique to Tesla.
Phoenix’s LiveView actually does exactly this via web sockets, to allow a purely server side framework to provide live updates. A big drawback is that this does t work as well over mobile internet connections, which is a bitter pill to swallow.

I fail to see how this takedown benefits Nintendo.

How could a C64 port of a NES game released more than 30 years ago could threaten any sale of anything ?
"is that a work PC or personal?"

I disagree with putting this one into the same category. The "personal" in "PC" means "used by a single person; not shared" which is quite different from the meaning of "not belonging to an employer".

While UNIX was playing with sh, there were already platforms with REPLs, graphical displays and integrated debugger.

In fact Jupiter Notebooks are an approximation of that experience.

So give me a REPL with function composition and structured data, over pipes and parsing text for the nth time.

Thankfully PowerShell now works across all platforms that matter to me.
I’ve been using ActiveInbox to achieve the same thing. It’s not perfect - and has been a bit buggy with the redesign - but its been an effective tool for me.
Very cool. Congrats on the progress made. Hope you keep making iterative improvements to your product - that's the only way to built a successful startup.

I'm not so sure why this is getting downvoted as Nintendo's approach to this kind of thing does seem unnecessarily hostile, and it's certainly a pattern of behaviour, not a one-off instance.

It doesn't make any sense to me either: I mean, do they really think that because I've bought a copy of SMB 64, that I'm not going to buy any more SMB games? I've kind of lost track but, just with the 3DS I carry around fairly regularly, I have at least 3 SMB games (one or two for DS OG), plus a bunch of other games around the Mario IP.
I respect the choices of tech sector workers who choose to protest against certain company policies and even refuse to perform certain types of work that enhance mass personalised surveillance and the enhancement of military lethality.

It’s a different world from 30 and 70 years ago.

70 years ago nearly all R&D spent was specifically military in nature. So it was pretty clear from the point of hire that you were(or weren’t working on military or related(surveillance) projects.

30 years ago military and commercial R&D hit parity and it was still quite easy to known going into an employment contract what side of the fence one was on.

Today, almost all R&D is commercial in nature, but with vast duel use military/surveillance potential.

So it’s much more convoluted and nebulous to delineate project output, perhaps a major contributing factor to recent decisions and actions.

Combined with the long standing low supply, high demand for talent enhancing leverage.

I agree that tech talent conscience is critical.

I only hope we see the same from Chinese software engineers working at Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, etc.

I wonder if the future will see a convoluted analog to the Manhattan Project, the Rosenbergs, and apex talent migration out of 1930’s fascist countries.

Perfect example. This owner added 110 miles of range in 45 minutes, or ~26kWh, which means an average charge rate of 35kW. He charged from approximately 48% to 83%.

With V3 he could add the same range in about 15-18 minutes -- that's based on eyeballing the charge rate curve in your other link.

The S and X will see similar gains now, because this generation of technology is the same as the TM3.

I do not believe that Tesla has published an actual charge percentage vs time curve for this new S/X update, but you can rest assured the many tech blogs which cover Tesla's every move will have one posted as soon as someone can get their hands on one. There will be parts of the curve which are significantly more than 50% higher charge rates (perhaps up to 400% increases at most), and parts which are virtually unchanged (above 90% capacity).

In the meantime, you should be confident that when Tesla says "expect to charge 50% faster" that's a real average number based on actual usage data they collect in the field, and sometimes you will beat it, sometimes not, depending on many variables which can impact charge rate.

One things that won't be impacting your charge rate on V3 are the Teslas charging next to you. In the article you linked, I would speculate the 35kW average charge rate is due to shared main feeds in V1/V2 Supercharger stations.
I have attempted this at least three times over the last few years, but ultimately given up.

Hi I watched the Cadence talks and read through the golang code a while back and love what you're doing with cadence. Really glad to see you're moving from Thrift/TChannel to protobuf/grpc - that was a blocker before.

If anyone could help me understand the following I'd appreciate it...

I understand that the event history is cached at worker nodes and the whole history of events is only delivered to workers if needed (ie if out of cache) and that normally cadence manages to deliver events for the same workflow to the same worker.

My question relates to what exactly happens within a single worker process.

On each new event, does the worker process loop through all events in the history - starting from the beginning - in order to get back its internal state, and then process the new event, and then shutdown ready to repeat this for the next event.

Or... does cadence keep the internal state around by keeping the goroutine alive waiting on a channel midway through it's workflow logic and waiting for the next event to continue execution.

Thanks

My S 75D has 384km range (not really near the EPA 417km) and it is approximately 21 % optimistic which I would not call "little".

Route planners (ABRP, previously Tesla) will not let you drive 300km without charging, because you would arrive with less than 10 % SoC.

There are however cases where

Node neighbor = data[x+1][y];

does not require an index boundary check when you know that 'x + 1 < length(data)' for any 'x'. This could be due to the iteration of 'data' excluding the last element or any other condition that's always hold.

Doesn't $1bn seem excessive for being wrongly accused of petty theft on multiple counts? I get that it's a very disruptive thing to have happen to you, but still.

Also, the case seems like it has nothing to do with the case except that it was the cause of false identification. I think people are misidentified in photos by other people all the time, though important to note in his case apparently the detective immediately recognized the guy as not the one stealing in the photo. Seems that maybe someone at Apple didn't do their own diligence, which is probably the more concerning thing here.

Any details on where to find these jobs?

I’m pulling in 150k (AUD) +super, 10+ years in Java, web, streaming data, functional programming, Scala some Haskell, cloud, devops etc.

Looking at the common job listings I’m seeing 120-140k for full-time perm. I work for a niche specialised consultancy that bills me out at $1500-2000 per day doing Kafka work for some tier one companies but I’ve not seen any publicly advertised jobs in that salary range advertised. Saying that some of the tier ones in Australia I’d also not want to work for as a perm after spending a few months at them, some are very archaic/disfunctional, so far it’s been 50/50 on good vs bad contracts.
I think this is an even bigger problem for local news papers than the major mainstream news channels.
Those don't solve anything, because the core problem is a human one. It needs to be legal in all the countries that they might apply to, and that still requires a lot of expertise. The person you are responding to says "this is a problem technology can't fix", I assume this is the reason.

But also because crypto is totally unregulated -- and by the rules of the game, if you have the keys, you have the coins -- you have zero recourse. Not that it could be reversed anyways. In both these real-world cases, you've got the police.
Code base is fair game DMCA-wise. I wonder about the private keys though. I don't think they are copyrightable (although it would cool to have a poem as the private key). So, does DMCA cover that too?

No, it turns bilinear maps into linear one! If you have three R-modules (one can read K-vector spaces if unfamiliar with modules) N,M,P and a bilinear map N×M→P then there is a unique linear map N⊗M→P compatible with the map N×M→N⊗M which is part of the structure of a tensor product. (What's really going on here in fancy terms is the so called Hom-Tensor adjunction because the _⊗M functor is adjoint to the Hom(M,_) functor, but just thinking about bilinear and linear maps is much clearer)

Serious question: why does society not push billionaires to put money towards society-wide issues like this? Because it’s “bad business?”

To use Mr. Buffett as an example. His current net worth is 86.3 billion. If he took 1 billion of that and created a fund to support independent journalism, it could employ ~500 full-time journalists at $60,000 each (all-in cost) purely on the interest (3% annual return.) Not to mention the fact that he would likely receive donations and support from the public at large.

For comparison, The NY Times employs about 3,800 people. So, for a miniscule amount of his net worth (of which the principal is unaffected), Mr. Buffett could create an organization 1/8 the size of one of the largest newspapers in the world.

So again, why do we give people like this a pass when they very clearly have the ability to make a difference? Especially when they are publicly complaining about the issue.

Not even that thick! When your battery is about 4mm thick and only takes up part of the phone, you can roughly double the battery life by taking the phone from 7.5mm to 10.5mm.

Why do you think that the DMCA would lead to some sort of deletion of repositories that was sent over a wire to a website that the DMCA was meant to be into?

It's not a simple case either. But it feels a bit strange that there aren't any links to this kind of DMCA takedown. It seems strange that a company like BitBucket would even have this kind of information without the DMCA notice.

Or maybe I'm just a cynic.

Audit/Security/GRC.

"I help companies pass their audits".

You tell me what audit you have to pass, and I will work with you to pass it successfully. It could be just a 3rd party audit you got coming up, or some regulatory/contractual requirement(s) you need to fulfull (PCI-DSS, VISA PIN, GDPR, HIPAA, SOx, ISOs, etc.)

You name it. We sit down, make a plan, put dates on that plan, put names and roles on that plan, provide the proper support/Sponsor and (with a little/a lot of pain) you pass the audit. But you PASS your audit. There is no miracle recipe, no 'feeding the multitude'. Good old smart and hard work.

It sometimes smells as if it was standard practice to convince the client (intentionally, or unintentionally by also convincing yourself) that correlation is causation and therefore their success is attributed to ad spending.
