The flip side of this that it's not limited to the arts. I came to love math later, more and more as I got into higher-level math, because I realized lower-level stuff tended to be taught in this way that is very focused on minute almost irrelevant details. If people had started with big-picture principles and worked down, I would have been much more into it earlier.

I had a stats professor in college who said (in a course on nonparametric statistics) something like "there are two types of statisticians out there, those who are horrible at arithmetic, and those who are great at it." His point was just that it's possible to get very abstract math concepts really well and also be kinda sloppy with other things.

I guess my point is that early exposures to anything can really bias people's perceptions a lot, even when it's not representative or necessary. Vocational stuff I think can be like that too: early exposures to different types of careers can be really biasing even when your understanding of it as a broader field is really misleading.

They mistakenly treated the corporation as a person, which noone should do. The corporation is accurately modeled as a sociopath. They misassumed the corporation would have the same honorable intent they did. They've hopefully learned their lesson.

It depends on whether it's end-to-end encrypted or not. Unfortunately only some iCloud data is, not all of it (nor is there an option for all of it), but they have been slowly expanding the magic circle there. Health data is a recent addition actually, according to Apple's iCloud security page (HT202303) it is E2E as of iOS 12. Before that it presumably would have been available via warrant, but if someone has all their current devices updated it shouldn't be. Looks like the current full list is:

Home data
Health data (iOS 12+)
iCloud Keychain
Messages in iCloud
Payment information
Quicktype Keyboard learned vocabulary (iOS 11+)
Screen Time
Siri information
Wi-Fi network information

One odd and notable exclusion though is iCloud Backups. If you use that feature, at least from what I can tell it can actually compromises the E2E of some of the others since keys are stored as part of the backups. I guess Apple considers backups to be more important to the general population to have fallbacks for, but it's also a big privacy hole and I still consider it a bummer that they don't at least have an option to not store keys with Apple there and just have it be an encrypted blob (with UI for printing out recovery keys and such of course, but they've long had that for FileVault already).

Also worth noting that Apple's overall scheme for multi-factor and general Apple ID auth and management remains an irritating worrying clusterfuck, but at least there have been some ongoing improvements I guess.

You don't get better at what you don't do.

English books use different registers, vocabulary, and grammatical tenses than found in everyday speech also. Basically every language has differences in formally printed books and daily speech.

And it's not like you have to read dense texts only. There are plenty of short books, or books with lighter material, that learners can definitely read. It's a very good way to discover new vocabulary and see how words are used in what contexts.
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail principle. Come on admit, you've hammered in a screw before.

Good easy read though.
Languages require continuous practice. Immersing yourself in it is the only way, or else just forget it, it won't happen. Every language in particular is hard on the tongue depending on your linguistic background and upbringing. An arabic speaking person would have challenges with french that are similar to an english speaking or spanish one but still not the same. How? Well for starters for example, such as in "de rien", the "e" vowel would threw off the Arabic speaker but not the "R". With Spanish the "R" is a nightmare and also the "e". For the English speaker the combining both brings pain and suffering. This simple comparison is about not just the non existing tones and sounds that one must master before uttering the correct word, but like I said before, it rhymes with immersing oneself in the language. Learning the meaning of "de rien" and using it correctly in a sentence is far from speaking it. Observing its context, ways of pronouncing ( think state of mind, a word can be spoken following many colors, something a non native lacks. as his or her speech comes flat). I wish I could use other words to deliver what I must say, but I hope you get the idea that Spoken language runs deeper than pronunciation and mastering grammar. Another side note I wanna add is that occasional practice is not gonna cut it. You wanna learn a language? Make it a daily activity. Music, TV,trivial conversations etc..You'll realize you're stepping out of your comfort zone, and that is a huge sign enough that you're building actually something solid.

My experience in France is people in many places are very happy for you to attempt to converse in French. Outside of the main tourist areas, many people only speak French so you have to at least try. Of course in Paris, this is often not true.
Question: If they would be, don't you think Netflix would go that route?

"Better" is contextually dependent. There's no silver bullet to anything we do in tech.
You think you're being downvoted because people like dynamic typing very much.

You're being downvoted because:

A) You left a comment with a strong opinion without expressing it while dismissing other peoples' experience
B) Python is in fact a type safe language for a while now https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html - you have pluggable "a la bracha" types.
Even the printing on the face looks terrible (top of the E and X in Timex).
From a legal standpoint, the relevant language is "no benefits shall be paid to an individual under this chapter for... the period of unemployment... after the individual has left work (1) voluntarily..."[1]. I hope we can agree the employee did not leave voluntarily. There is no statutory language I could find that makes the fact that the employee intended to leave at some point after the date of actual separation relevant to the eligibility for benefits.

Ethically, the thing I have the biggest problem with is the employer characterizing the circumstances of the separation as anything other than a firing on November 1st. Effectively they are trying to say they fired the person on November 1st, then they rehired that person on January 1st, at which point they immediately resigned. I just don't think that's an accurate description of the circumstances.

Nope. Two syllables is correct, as you can see by looking at the IPA transliteration, /də ʁjɛ̃/.
I thought it was education. Like, about why carry-forwards make sense. If there's a (somewhat) reflectively consistent reason why we want to break the "only tax profits" model, and voters generally understand the tradeoffs, great, that sounds like a good debate to have. As it stands, like the OP suggests, it comes off more as misleading rabble-rousing.
Yeah I came to say something similar. Good art education (at least with criticism) is really focused on the strength of the arguments and the strength of the expression of those arguments.

This is an impressive article and an impressive couple. From the site's about page:

My name is Eric Vallabh Minikel and I’m on a lifelong quest to develop a treatment or cure for human prion diseases. I originally trained as a city planner at M.I.T. and was working as a software engineer and data analyst in the transportation sector when, in December 2011, I got some bad news. My wife and the love of my life, Sonia Vallabh, tested positive for a mutation (PRNP D178N cis-129M) that causes genetic prion disease, and that had claimed her mother’s life one year earlier. Sonia was 27 at the time. The mean age of disease onset for her mutation is around 50, and the mutation is highly penetrant, meaning she is exceptionally likely to develop the disease unless a treatment or cure is found.

Sonia and I set out on a quest to re-train ourselves as scientists. We both started taking night classes, reading papers, calling up scientists, going to conferences. We left our old careers and found jobs in research labs, and eventually enrolled at Harvard Medical School, where we are now PhD students in biological and biomedical sciences.

One thing I've learned from smart family and friends about medical care is that you can sometimes improve outcomes quite a lot if you apply brains and effort. I have relatives who managed to convert their dad's brain cancer outcomes from a couple of months in palliative care (which the doctors were recommending) to five more mostly-good years, by finding better surgeons, signing him up for clinical trials, and getting to the cutting edge of the research and applying it. For example they switched him to a ketogenic diet back when this was just starting to show results for cancer. These guys are taking this approach to the extreme! I hope they get the result they're looking for.

Refusing to tell a computer what to to is an odd choice, because what else is a computer for?
I had imagined they were talking not about depleting the battery into the grid, but rather choosing when to charge them. Right now Tesla is pretty primitive about when to charge, all you can do is give it a time to start charging.

But it is easy to imagine something much more advanced. Given some input like how long we've been plugged in, if we use the app to say "charge now", what utility we have (by selection or by GPS possibly), interact with the utility to adjust the charging rate.

At the moment I'm just set to charge starting at midnight. This is for 2 reasons: We recently switched to a 3x higher utility cost from 7pm-10pm, and also the car charging when I plugged it in made it hard to read my bill. We have these bills that say "You use X% more energy than your neighbors, can you think of anything you do from 5pm-7pm that you could cut back on?"
Yeah, purely from memory here but it's not that the save icon went out of fashion, but the concept of an icon bar or ribbon has gone; Microsoft's current UI standard for their native apps still has a ribbon IIRC, but I feel like that's one of the last vestiges. Using real world analogies went out the window after skeuomorphic design was no longer a thing too.

Oddly enough, for me I had trouble adjusting to the 'folder' icon (or referring to folders as folders), we grew up with the term "directory" and I never had an association with anything physical with that.

Releasing Software: From Chaos to Sanity
> Languages require continuous practice. Immersing yourself in it is the only way, or else just forget it, it won't happen.

I wonder if this applies to programming. I have tried many times to pick up Swift and Python. I am interested in it but I tend to get distracted by something else and then completely forget the languages.
I know any skill requires constant practice. But I still feel like programming falls more towards learning a different language.
Wow. Looks like all five manufacturers pled guilty in the original US case. Given that the suit from last year is ongoing, this seems to be a real problem in this industry.
Because before they knew you wanted to leave they did not knew you wanted to leave. If employee A is plotting to opportunistically jump boat the company can only (preventively) act after it knows that A wants to leave.

The same usual problems with false positives and false negatives.

(also 99.9% of employees are not leaving, considering them all a risk can be expensive)
What function does the stanza break serve? She says she
put it where it is because she's a performance poet and
thought it should go there.

That was just side commentary though. The question wasn't bad because the stanza breaks were arbitrary. The question was bad because the poem wasn't formatted correctly in the test itself.

The teacher was writing her because he himself couldn't figure out where the stanza breaks were and had to ask.

> go out of date

Pause for a moment on this one. Why would it go out of date?

The oldest content currently listed on the front page of my website is from 2005. What is in it has not gone out of date in the slightest. In fact, nothing from the intervening fourteen years has gone out of date. I could probably dig back through archive.org and pick out some more from sites I had back in the 1990's that would still be perfectly good, up to date content today.

If what you're writing is substantive, not gossip, there is no reason to think about it going out of date. Just don't wrap it in a blog format where the structure of the site makes it look like it's going out of date.
Early Java took a stupid decision to deliberately restrict expressiveness in the name of being "blue collar" (ironically enough Go largely retreads the same mistake). The result was a language so cumbersome that people would do anything to avoid having to write actual Java. Stupid policies at large companies that subject "configuration" changes to much less scrutiny than "code" changes compounded the problem.

The decision to use XML was actually quite reasonable for many developers given the constraints at the time. Thankfully Java has mostly seen the light these days, adding generics, first-class functions, and good-enough multiple inheritance (though it still has very restricted and cumbersome metaprogramming - classes are not first-class, and the lack of HKT makes it very difficult to work with functions generically since you can't abstract over arity), and people are gradually realizing that this different environment warrants different choices. (Companies still have terrible policies about code versus "config" though).

Oh yeah I misunderstood the definition of flamebait. It did create discussion (mostly about how you were inaccurate/wrong), but it itself wasnt very thoughtful. You used rhetoric/mocked to stir up people's feelings which puts down opposing views and makes them seem like nonsense even if they are logical arguments, just like reddit. I don't find it HN-worthy

It seems you're attacking Musk as a person more than the idea. SpaceX is doing undeniably well, who you can attribute that to is up for debate, but my point is you should be critiquing the idea, not the man.

How about hope for the best and if you don't believe in them, then don't invest?

Imo it's a really good idea, and I'm glad someone is trying to solve the broadband issue in rural America, because there's a serious one. I live out here, you're out of touch if you don't think there's a market.
I like the idea of user curated summaries much more, the scrolling is a bit distracting. Short news articles are surely attractive, if they are summarized by the community and the community checks if the summary is unbiased I might use that.
As much as i would like this...taken to a logical conclusion, not sure if it would help. Walk with me a bit, and see if this makes any sense (or not)...

1. A new search engine appears and focuses on "personal presence" sites - however a personal presence would be defined.

2. Google, bing, etc. begin crawling this new search engine, and its index of sites.

3. Users by default simply use google, bing, etc. to search for people...but how would google, bing, and other search engines resolve the conflicts of "which is the correct John Doe site?" between the results they've captured (such as on silos/walled gardens) vs results from this new personal site search engine?

Well, if its google, i suppose they'll use some signal like relevance. And, as i recall google uses link authority (big boys pointing to YOU gives you authority, which leads to "relevance" in the eyes of google)...which would suck because the big boy silos likely have a bit more "authority" by way of quantity of links, no? Unless i'm missing something, having another search engine - focused on personal sites - may not help the layperson find your personal site any more than current environment. Please someone correct me if my logic is flawed here, because my scenario is quite depressing.

(Let me caveat that I'm very much a proud supporter of personal websites, and would love having a new/additional "personal site-focused" search engine...I'm just not hopeful that it helps much.)
Oh, excellent. This is promising.

I still enjoy writing about it, and have almost always stuck to the rule, so I don't think an employer could take offense at any of the several hundred thousand words I wrote.
Democratization of Real-Time object detection
The moments where the electrical demand is the highest during the day, in addition to being at the time when solar production is starting/is winding down, is the time people are either leaving for their commute and so are expecting to have a full charge, commuting or finishing their commute with partially empty batteries in need of a reload.
> The only disadvantage of this token to date was the possibility of time drift. This problem is inherent to all TOTP tokens, without exception. TOTP tokens contain an on-board clock. Inevitably, the clock gradually gets ahead of or falls behind the actual time. Per RFC 6238, the time difference between the token and server should be monitored by the server software.

> But users often don't have access to the authentication server, so Protectimus figured out a way of correcting the token's clock instead. The time will be resynchronized when a secret key is flashed to the to the token.

Not sure I follow... the sync happens because when the user sends an attempted TOTP code to the server, the server calculates a few codes just before/after the current time, and if they match, the server updates its cache of the token's clock drift. Nothing is stored on the client. Why would this not be an option? (It requires the same access as required to send it a code in the first place, no more.)

It seems like a serious negative to have a hardware token with significant complexity on board; at that point you're better off using a smartphone which gets software updates, because you have a platform that's rich enough to have vulnerabilities and an attack surface. (And you can do things like put a password on the smartphone.) Hardware tokens with no inputs, like RSA keyfobs, make more sense.
