You don't need a smart lock for the second one, a cheap indoor camera that can send you alerts achieves the same. An even simpler solution is a spare Android running Haven[0] (I don't know if Edward Snowden actually created it, but he's usually associated with it).

As a tenant (and a hotel guest) I've used both of these methods over the years. Granted, I've never lived in a home that has a smart lock, but I know I would feel much safer using my own hardware for the purpose.

I guess it's easier and feels more scientific/less arbitrary to regulate on some numbers that come out of seemingly objective test.

Typical roadside walk the line test might not be all that objective, as it's judged by the eye of the officer, and some people may be better walking the line, while still having reduced reflexes and being a increased danger on the road.

Though, I'm not an expert and despite this feeling arbitrary, there may have been studies comparing effectiveness of various forms of testing on predicting the harm of DUI, or comapring breathalizer with the walk the line test, or touch your nose test or whatever.

I'm not for locking people up, but I also prefer safer roads. And what helps and what does not may not be all that obvious on the larger more aggregate level.

This article deals with "big picture" aspects, not specific syntactic details, so there is no reason for it to include code.

It's an introduction. It's a very common writing technique. You don't start with the core content of the article, you start with a paragraph or a sentence about why you wrote the article in the first place. You did the same with you "I love programming language" opening.

In Australia you’re legally allowed to change the locks on your rental but you’re required to give a copy of the new keys to your Agent within x hours (my contract says 24hrs).

We do it for all properties and highly recommend it, as we’ve had an ex-contractor (had worked on renovations) walk into our rental a week after we moved in, letting himself in with his keys thinking no one had moved in yet. Wifey was on the couch and let out a hell of a yell, and we chased him out before calling the Police.

>Anyway, the emphasis, in my opinion, should be on behaviors that indicate loss of coordination, reflex issues, etc. not some arbitrary value.

Any such test is likely to be highly subjective and therefore open to bias and abuse. A breath alcohol content of 0.008% might be fairly arbitrary in terms of risk, but it's objectively measurable. A cop can claim that I was driving erratically just because he doesn't like the look of me, a jury can interpret dashcam footage unfavourably based on their prejudices, but a correctly calibrated breathalyzer doesn't lie. Drawing an a line in the sand between "sober" and "too drunk to drive safely" based on a biological marker of alcohol intake is almost certainly the fairest means of enforcement. There is of course the broader issue of who the police choose to stop and test, but there's no obvious technological solution to that risk of bias.

It's legal in the UK for a tenant to change the locks, and there's also no law requiring them to provide the landlord a copy of the key. You do have to allow the landlord in for certain reasons (like maintenance) with advance notice, but you can do that by just being home and letting them in yourself. However, the letting contract might prohibit it, and I think commonly does. It's not a right of the tenant to be able to change the locks, so the contract can restrict it, but it's allowed by default if the contract doesn't say anything.

Noob question, having played around with CUDA and NVCC a bit: in languages such as Julia or Python, why does every algorithm have to be specifically adapted to be able to run on GPUs? Couldn't algorithms be written from higher level building blocks? Eg. implement map, reduce and scanl in CUDA/OpenCL, and have a default parameter like backend='cpu' than can be set to 'gpu'.
In my experience (UK), a typical rental agreement will require you to inform the landlord/agent and provide them with a key, or even get their prior consent to make the change. (I'm not sure if there's actual law on the subject or if it's purely down to the terms of the contract.)

The book was not published by the writers of the article. They just wrote that the book exists and what is revealed.

I would also like a link to NYT or WaPo but they avoided to cover the book (and even more to analyse the materials leaked). At least you can still buy the book. The material itself is still reachable on the wikileaks site.

Unless the landlord does it, this is actually illegal as far as I know. The locks are property of the landlord and they have a right to enter the apartment under certain circumstances (previously announced visit, danger, ...).

Facebook Breakup Call from Co-Founder Easier Said Than Done
I don't know what the tenancy law is in NY, but in the UK this is supposed to require the permission of the tenant except in an emergency.

I can't speak for America or NY, but Switzerland has exactly the same tenancy law.

The landlord must announce a visit to the appartment like 48 hours in advance an he cannot abuse the privilege. Essentially you "own" the rented appartment during your tennancy.

Emergencies (i.e. a burts pipe) is different, of course.

You're right, but you cannot accuse the entire language of being insecure, ultimately it's the responsibility of the developer.

Also you can't always say we don't use C only for security reasons, as other languages also have their security issues. There are many modern ways to avoid those flaws. Like someone answered, it boils down to a matter of development cost.

I'm also quite skeptical when people always rise the objection of security when writing software. Security is not so simple, and so far it's its own specialty, and pretending that it's worth it to make things slower and that the security gain is actually there, is not really completely accurate.

Security is almost a post 9/11 paranoia knee jerk reaction.

Depends on the key, really. Some keys herearound can be very expensive to replace and require written authorization by the landlord.

>statistically, he had to be right about something

There's a dangerous propensity for people to look at something someone says and go "well. he's right about that, so he must have something to offer to the conversation".

What people say usually has a deeper reason than the face value of the comment. Taking random quotes from philosophers / religious texts / leaders / raconteurs can support pretty much anything you want it to. The original quote probably had a deeper reason. In the case of Hitler (and pretty much any despot throughout history) the "right about something" quotes were carefully crafted to lower the guard of otherwise moderate people to bring the bigger, "core" message closer to being accepted.

The point is that the "strong men" line, although possibly true, is historically only used by those looking to appeal to those who self-identify as "strong men", and usually in order to manipulate them to a cause that pits them against the "weak men".

The statement may have truth in isolation, but historically it has red flags hanging all over it.

Also, I'm amazed we haven't gone all Godwin at the mention of Hitler!
“Sort of useful”?? 8-bit versus 24-bit color is like night and day!

Transparency for video is kind of a niche thing, sure, but when you need it you really need it. A good example would be compositing green-screen footage. (Keying transparency on a specific color is exactly the kind of hack GIF uses, whereas PNG does it properly, with a separate alpha channel.)

Omitting obvious stuff like an alpha channel because you don’t think anyone needs it is exactly the kind of oversight that makes all these “modern” video formats unable to completely replace GIFs. Looping is another example.

I also lived in LA for quite a while about 10 years ago, and for certain routes (like venice/sm -> downtown) it wasn't that bad. Unfortunately if I wanted to get anywhere outside the major hotspots, that involved the aforementioned walk half mile to bus stop/10-15 minute wait/take bus in traffic/get off and walk several blocks to next stop/wait 10-15 minutes/take bus in traffic/walk to destination loop. I highly suggest getting a motorcycle - I was able to cut some trips that took almost 2 hours down to about 30 minutes and parking was always easy because you can park end in between cars.
There are some startups in Madrid[1], also, apply with LinkedIn and Glassdoor[2] to companies in Spain[3]. Speaking English and somewhat-entendible Spanish you shouldn't have any problem getting and interview. Indeed your English native level can be an asset.

Thus, you should bring to the interviews that have experience working in USA. I think that is pretty valued in Spain.

On the other hand, Madrid seems to have an American expat community, there are some meetups [4][5] and facebook groups, etc.

That really depends on the locks and the lock mechanism.

> Wait a few years for the price to drop in half.

I'm only familiar with PS4, but it's much, much quicker than that today.

Battlefield V [1] was released Nov 20 2018 for $60, in Dec 6 it was $36 (60% of original in 16 days), and in Dec 18 it was $30 (50% in 28 days) with PS Plus, which you need anyway to play multiplayer.

God of War [2], to take another example not plagued by BFV's troubled release and also being a single-player game, it took at bit longer to go down. It was released in April 20 2018, was down to $50 (83%) in June 8, $34 (58%) with PS+ in Aug 17, and $22 (37%) in Nov 16.

You really pay a premium to play at launch day or a couple of days early by pre-ordering. If you wait a month you usually have the first discount.

There's a nice community at Reddit called Patient Gamers [3]. You don't have to take vow to never buy new games, but people there usually wait at least six months before buying a game. Three super nice benefits of that:

1. Games are cheaper.

2. The game has been patched to fix bugs or add more content.

3. You can read reviews or check the Metacritic page to see if the game is actually as good as claimed or if it's hype based on the trailer. You can watch some real gameplay not carefully produced by the designers.

Still, a lot of people apparently pre-order games or buy mega-deluxe editions for $100, so game companies can get money from that group and then lower the prize a month later for the rest of the gamers.

Aren't security locks common over there?

The typical night latch (Yale lock) is super easy to pick, but it wouldn't be easy to get UK insurance without a 5 or 7 lever Chubb lock, or one of the newer security locks. So pretty much everywhere has one - and quite often both. Newer doors tend to have multiple bolts in three places, operated by the single security key.

Just a night latch might be used for internal doors, or a garden shed.
My rental contract in the Netherlands forbids it, but at one time I discussed it with a lawyer and it's not an enforceable clause. Eventually I had to get the lock replaced and I have no intention of giving the property company a key.

>the apartment owner notices it, tries to enter your apartment to extinguish it, cannot enter because of changed lock, and the building burns down.

The fire department/emergency services would absolutely be allowed to (force) enter...why should the landlord be the savior? Perhaps it's different in Germany.

It will be much more ahead of interpreters running on MCUs (overhead of parsing alone is enough to disqualify them for production use,) but still hopelessly far behind native code.

WASM was made with running on regular desktop CPUs in mind. Wasm is not a truly a state machine, nor stack machine, but a horrible hybrid in between them thanks to design by committee.

Changeable locals, accessible undefineds, use of stack pointer protection technique that kills both pipelining and speculative execution. Yes, that's combined downsides of both stack and register VMs.

There were MCU that were naively running Java long time ago, but all failed on the market. The idea proved non feasible

That is certainly true.

But the language can have a big impact on the difficulty of getting the implementation correct.

> If I recall correctly one of the arguments for lack of generic was that they would make more obvious code

I don't believe that is a reason ever articulated by the core team, but a post-hoc justification by apologists. The reason the core team gave was that they had not settled on a design that would fit well with their other goals for the language, and it simply didn't make the short list for 1.0.
That's not obvious to me.

>You still haven't explained why SQL in particular has ruled over its problem domain for over 40 years

Well yes, because I argued that it was irrelevant to the original question: can SQL be improved?

Additionally I actually did address the question of SQL’s stability, at least partially: it’s not SQL thats so stable, but the relational model. SQL just happened to be IBM’s, and IBM was highly successful pushing its DB around, and Oracle (kind-of) cloned it to push their DB around with less contention, and so it went on. But its the RDBMS engine that primarily pushes a DB’s value; The SQL language is a ride-along.

And once more to be clear: its longevity is not a result of SQL’s quality, but the quality of the relational model. Thus its popularity, and stability (its also not that stable, in that its heavily extended by everyone in arbitrary fashion), is irrelevant to the original question.

>SQL is not that popular, as the NOSQL movement

If people are trying to make use of NoSQL because they want to avoid the SQL language (not the relational model), they’ve made a grave mistake in understanding their technologies; I don’t think such a naive opinion should be considered relevant to the equation.

If they’ve chosen NoSQL to avoid the relational model, then their choice says nothing about the SQL language.

This is how a lot of interpreters work - they compile source code to some intermediary bytecode (usually an imaginary stack or register machine) and then interpret that.

It's usually faster than executing directly over some sort of AST, and also fast when you re-execute the same script over again (that's why Python creates .pyc files for modules).
