Hearing about Niki Lauda brings back memories of the death of the Swedish F1 racer Ronnie Peterson in 1978. I was sitting on a commuter train, and heard whispers moving through the coach saying "Ronnie Peterson just crashed". There were of course no mobile phones at that time, so the information came from F1 fans who were following the race while listening to their portable FM radios.

Some survive, some die.

George Harrison (of Beatles fame) later dedicated his song "Faster" to the memory of Ronnie Peterson.
That’s not understanding integrated circuits at all, that seems to be just understanding how a device functions on a chip.
The fingerprint protection this new setting refers to is simply a blacklist of a couple of known JS fingerprinters. Those are not relevant for the majority of users, because fingerprinting with these kind of scripts is only used by a very small number of obscure sites.
Trucks follow well-defined routes that are already well served by several truck stop operators. I would expect the first truly self-driving trucks to partner with Pilot or Loves to offer some kind of full service option where the truck pulls in and someone comes out to fill it up and scan a tag to charge the fuel to the right account.
Businesses should probably start tracking technical debt as a liability on their books. Maybe depreciate code as an asset like a business does with a truck or piece of equipment. Management would probably understand the concept better if it was represented on the financials.
So the control algorithm for the glide vehicle is going to correct for damaged ablative/control surfaces? I don’t believe this technology currently exists.
Yes, but I mean income. Real Estate is pretty conspicuous by its nature.

The fact that this is so down voted supports my premise that this makes people uncomfortable. I don't have an agenda, I just think this is something people try very hard to hide.
But they knew the consequences ? The guard says she wants to save more and doesn't want to live in an apartment for that reason.
I think more people are concerned with his poor performance (in several companies), and poor human relations than just with shorting the stock.
Third party keyboards are a lot cheaper and work just as well, plus you get real F-keys if you want.

While I personally wouldn't buy it (I'm kind of picky about the tactile feel of the keyboard), you can get this fully functional Bluetooth keyboard for $20.

That's kind of ironic, actually. Here she's telling us to be more tolerant of other people's preferences, but in the OP article, she's basically saying "my preference is objectively correct, and if you disagree you must not understand the situation."
Are you suggesting that government is fighting to protect people's privacy in a world where cameras and sensors are being erected on every streetlight, commercial building, and roadside pole? Is government not one of the primary consumers of personal data?
Just thought I’d chime in to say I’m loving my Thinkpad X1 with Debian.

If you want to install Debian on the X1 it’s pretty easy. Just make sure to fix some of the sleep issues using the (easy) instructions on this page, which in my experience still apply to Debian:

Not being associated with COBOL is hardly a bad thing...
I have nothing against paying for content (and I do so regularly) but there's no way I'm ever paying for something hosted on Medium. The persistent sharing dickbars, the annoying attempts at getting me to sign up, the ridiculously over-sized header, it all really ticks me off. It's funny how a website that portrays itself as a home for great content consistently displays the utmost disregard for content.
I don't really have a horse in this race (I've never driven a Tesla, but a few of the points in the article seem valid), but I think its worth remembering that the Nielsen Norman Group has a few clients amongst the large automotive companies (Ford and General Motors, if I recall correctly). This was more-or-less paid for by Tesla competitors, so maybe take it with a grain of salt. YMMV.
Perhaps you could explore some humanist groups in your area. There’s nothing special about the religious ideology that means it’s the only one that can create community. Keep in mind that when you leave your religious ideology behind you don’t have no ideology, you have a new ideology. There are surely people out there who have adopted a similar ideology.
Could be both. Some have it in their formal identifications, but many don't.
Why does having more cash make a business strategy better? Just because they have cash to spend, doesn’t instantly mean there are synergies.

In fact, most corporations tend to spend cash for acquiring irresponsibily. At the beginning of any MBA class discussing mergers and acquisitions, they’ll cite the fact that the majority of these fail to produce the intended value.
I disagree that productivity cannot be measured. Measure productivity by the time it takes a developer to achieve a proof of accomplishing the business requirement through test automation. If it takes a developer 1 hour versus two business days of 8 hours there is a 16x factor of productivity.

Tech debt are all the factors that erode productivity. This includes many technical factors from inefficient systems design to unnecessary testing. It also includes slowness from weak developers and developer training.

I know it puts me in an extreme minority, but I am a big fan of extreme simplicity, which is not what it might suggest. Extreme simplicity removes everything in a system present for the easiness of the developer so that all that is left is only that which is necessary to accomplish a business requirement as directly as possible. If there is less to read (including dependencies) there is less to maintain and less to test. Simplicity is not easy.

The confusion is that a system must achieve a certain level of easiness or it will be rejected by some developers outright or require training at great expense. My basic premise for making any challenging decision is to never compromise on integrity, which includes being honest about the challenge at hand. You can embrace that challenge directly and solve for it or you can hide from it behind layers of easiness.
Is it really cheaper? I would expect rail to be somewhat cheaper but an order of magnitude or more slower.
For practical purposes, nothing. If you have used Mathematica in the past, and know what it is: the "Wolfram Engine" is basically the Mathematica kernel.

Note that this free version only includes the kernel, not the notebook interface. But there is nascent support for Jupyter, so productive use is very much possible.

"I'd expect that many of the things I'm used to doing in Mathematica wouldn't work here"

What's amazing is that this isn't true. There are no _technical_ restrictions. You can't do Manipulate because the notebook interface is no there (or rather: it's there but it's read-only). But all the computational power is available.
> Devs generally aren't spending their days editing video or sitting in Maya and they are targeting those markets - people who need power but don't wrench into their OS internals or open a debugger when something goes wrong. Those customers are also a lot less flighty as long as their creative tools work.

But their requirements aren't much different to developers in terms of the machines. They need reliability most of all - a MacBook failing in a production location you've had to shift kit to or have performers at can be a huge concern. Dongle life makes everything harder for no benefit. They still need to type sometimes, even spaces or the letter 'e'! MacOS's development on emerging creative technologies like HDR is not exactly setting the world on fire.

I can assure you, there are a lot of creative professionals in outright dismay at the state of Apple's current laptop line.
The study cited is by a fellow at the Hoover Institute. His bias is in favor of blue-dogs (like HRC who lost in 2016) so that they keep losing.
Well, if nothing else, at least GRRM confirms that he still plans to complete the books.
I mean that’s the folly. People destroyed federalism, devolving all power to the federal government, and now they’re upset that the voting system in the federal government is stacked against them. If they hadn’t made healthcare, for example, a federal issue, folks in Maryland wouldn’t need folks in Alabama to get on board to have “Marylandcare for All.”
> ... my desire to climb mountains. I just wanna see what it looks like on other side... aka curiosity.

I wonder for some period of time why people like to climb, so I am excited by your answer. Given all the documentaries, news and travel ads, one can reasonably imagine what it looks like on the other side, don't we? Moreover, its geometry would remain the same in one's life time, for any specific mountain. One can get a pretty close idea from Google Map's terrain view. If one is not that into the details, like the precise curvature for each piece of a mountain, then they are largely the same.

I find myself not attracted to climbing for exactly the reason that they are not different enough from each other to satisfy my curiosity.
What has the hackintosh experience been like for you?
This argument only works if you think of "Lisp" as a single, linearly developing language. It hasn't been that for decades. (That's why they created "Common" Lisp, after all.)

Lisp is a family of languages - within which Scheme and CL are just as syntactically incompatible as CL and Clojure.
Plenty of medical science has been done with less greedy motives, such as eliminating suffering. For that reason, medical science can easily survive the capitalists abandoning it.
Matthias Wandel has some excellent woodworking from the perspective of an electrical engineer; Andrew Camarata's channel has hundreds of hours of practical ingenuity and problem solving.
Yes. It is an unnecessary and over-engineered feature, where effort should have been spent on other parts of the machine.
>> Even though it's science fiction, it actually seems hard to argue with the theory in the book -- that civilizations must act to eliminate each other or they are overwhelmingly likely to be eliminated themselves.

This is a great conceit for a sci-fi novel (two, actually) but I wouldn't take it too seriously as a real-life argument. To begin with, it's a theory about essentially evolutionary imperatives. It says that every civilisation, regardless of species, location, or any other condition, will eventually reach the same conclusion about the nature of the universe and the rules defining the co-existence of civilisations inside it.

To put it lightly, that is a very long stretch. We have no way to know anything about how a non-human civilisation will think, or even if it will "think" in the same sense that we do (they may be space-faring social insects without a real capacity for conscious thought, say- a classic sci-fi trope). We have no way to know what are the goals and rules that such a civilisation might choose for itself. Some may see it as their duty to protect and help life in the universe, as something unique and irreplaceable. Some might indeed see it as a survival imperative to go out and destroy or conquer other civilisations. Some might choose to develop along a sustainable path that will not end up in them exhausting their local systems' resources (eliminating the second axiom of cosmic sociology).

It's a huge universe. There's space for any number of different outlooks on life, the universe and everything. I don't doubt that the Dark Forest theory is one thing that may well have arisen somewhere, somewhen, but to assume that everything that is conscious in the universe will have "developed the hiding gene and the cleansing gene", that's just assuming way, way too much (and first of all- about the way genetic information is transferred).

We don't know anything about other technological civilisations. Cautiousness is well advised, but part of that is not assuming that we understand how they will necessarily think.
For anything with an research element, symbolic is huge. On the other hand, if you're just implementing already well-researched algorithms and methods, it's much less needed.
I highly recommend Ben Eater's youtube series.

The city doesn't let Google do anything either.
For better or worse, if you take good care of yourself, are debt-free and have money, women will find you.

Do yourself a favor and don't marry the first one out of a sense of desperation, there's plenty to go around.

Just FYI:

Huawei is one of the first companies that promoted the "996" schedule. https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU

Huawei started the trend of laying off engineers once they reach 35 years old in China.
According to the article this is a part of the antivax community, now trying to "cure" autism with some kind of woo woo fluid. In the end a call for youtube to "moderate" this misinformation spreading through their channel. Where does it end and where is youtube able to say look "the kid swallowing the most marbles is not going to have kids of his own"?
Do a sleep study. Any number of hours can be insufficient if you have sleep apnea, as the body is not getting the rest it needs.

I had the same problem. Using a CPAP since over 2 years now, and it has been life changing. The effect wasn't evident overnight for me and I think I am still recovering from decades of lack of proper sleep due to the apnea.
People would complain (remember the pre-loaded U2 album?)
Any comments on performance today or in the near future? Any features which should provide a big speedup in the future as compared to competitors (kdb, pandas)?
Coincidentally I was recently working on a project of localizing my company's product into Japanese, and the client who had requested the project asked if we could also address the name ordering issue. It turned out to be pretty non-trivial and we ended up not doing it, but a cursory search of our competitors showed that not many western SaaS products who localize to Japanese seem to do it either. I wonder if this policy stance will change that trend.
I really hope this become the Standard for all Japanese names in Western Media.

It is annoying when you hear how in Japanese Anime speaks and you have subtitle or online discussion using the name in totally different order. Or other forms of Media when you know that is not how the name was suppose to work.
Node.js – v12.3.0
I cut my teeth as a developer on the Windows operating system. Because we were a platform, we had learned that when we shipped an API it became more or less permanent. So technical debt was a huge part of our planning and thought process.

When I joined Netflix I was assigned to add DASH support to the Silverlight web player. I spent weeks working on the new architecture, refactoring the streaming code, etc. One day my manager stopped by my desk and said that "I needed to wrap it up. It was taking too long." I was still weeks away from being done. I explained to that I was cleaning up a ton of technical debt and that's why it was taking so long.

He explained to me that they had different values on his team.

1. Most code will be rewritten every 2 to 3 years.
2. For code that doesn't get rewritten often, preserving battle tested code trumps paying down technical debt

Just remember that technical debt doesn't apply to all software.
To be honest, apart from huffing and puffing, I really find there isn't really any motivation for an actual divide of the country at the end of the day. Also, the divide is often within states, not just amongst the states, just look at California.
3rd world country? Just looking at employment, Alabama has a lower unemployment rate than NY, CA, WA.

They seem to be doing just fine, jobs wise.
I can understand why someone who watches Fox News, and/or listens to a lot of Ben Shapiro / Lauren Southern / Charlie Kirk / Candace Owens, and/or is subbed to r/The_Donald might believe this. (Sorry if I'm being presumptuous) These sources push the narratives that "The Left" is trapped inside of their own radicalizing echo chamber, but don't go far enough to acknowledge that "The Right" is not immune to that problem either. What's dominating US political discoure is the bases of both sides focusing their outrage on a small percentage of the other. Both sides say that the other is becoming more radical every day. When it comes to the Democrats, however, the vast majority of candidates vying for the nomination are really the "centrist" (translation: "swampy") types.
No you don't
Leaked Apple service documents did say that the intent of the latest gen was to fix the reliability problems, so I don't think it's just an assumption.
Really just the MagSafe is the big difference they lost. Supposedly the keyboard sucks, why don’t they just fix it or go back to the previous iteration.

Either way I think these are still the best notebooks you can buy.

Ubuntu doesn’t even work right on my dell desktop - it never remembers dual monitor settings, even with Nvidia official drivers installed.

When I open my MacBook Air I can just use it without waiting or worrying. That much is still the same; except now you have to worry about someone tripping over your power cord

But you're doing it too! You're trying to make it sound abundantly reasonable that the OP's ideology is inconsistent, when lots of people would completely disagree with that, and then you're pretending like it's obvious and not up for debate. More fanning the flames. Why?
Plus there's a shared sense of fundamental worldview values in a congregation that you don't get in an affinity group like chess club.
Well, cash and a distraction of earnings calls is a symptom of the real problem, weak demand. The 3 has been cannabalizing the S and X, which before were the major high margin products that sustained the company.

If they have to keep raising cash just to keep themselves afloat, there’s never going to be any return for shareholders. It will all get eaten by debt and dilution.

doing it now will also adversely affect many millions, potentially billions, of people. Tesla relies on that data to improve their autonomous systems.

We don't even know what % of ppl are actually opposed to sharing this data. I've not heard many tesla owners complaining about this.

Making false equivalences between this and your personal health information and spreading fear is so counterproductive.
I've come to adopt the metaphor of Technical Tax instead for this reason.

Technical Debt is something for which you have a repayment plan and a timeline on which it will be repayed and you are making the repayments.

Technical Tax is everything else. And your tax rate will keep climbing higher and higher unless you make a change at the policy level.
Of course everything is matter of preferences, but for me jus having such a huge display in the middle of the dashboard is a distraction, that leaving aside the fact that aesthetically is totally out of place and not even very well integrated, the UI is made to look edgy instead of functional (tiny minimallistic icons). To me the whole thing is there just to add wow factor without adding any extra benefit for the user.
Yep, we disagree on this :).

Sure, I'll take a stab at that. Data is data, it doesn't belong to someone just because they played a role in creating it.

You don't care about the water company tracking your water usage or knowing how often you flush your toilet is my guess. Yet that is data you are creating. If you found out the water company was checking your dropping for drug usage and selling that to the government you might care. Or if they were selling it to employment screeners who didn't want to hire people with Crohn's disease that might be another.

I would argue the intent of data is what matters and this discussion is really about. I want to see data used for improving society and discussin how we draw those lines and who gets access.
Another misleading title. The article says that some airlines would like it, but Boeing has no intention of doing this.
Maxima is a serious CAS and can do serious work, but it’s a few decades behind the latest R&D. It can do algebra and calculus usefully.

I'm not sure what's being asked here. So direct mail is a source of profits for the USPS that effectively subsidizes first class mail (and perhaps other things). Personally, I'd not be in favor of a sharp price increase to mail a letter as the price for getting rid of direct mail. (Which, in any case, covers a fairly wide spectrum of "junk" from stuff I throw away unopened to catalogs that I'll at least flip through to offers that I'll at least consider.)

Among unsolicited contacts, direct mail is pretty far down the list of things that annoy me.
No. It's better than no driver. (I'll assume it works at all in some capacity.)
While there are some companies that make wifi cards you can't use easily, that's just one thing you check before buying, just as e.g. general reliability/performance.
I would wager that unless you were a practiced artist/designer, you would have trouble replicating a 2d UI from memory with much accuracy. Our brains don't work like that in 2D either. You could probably tell me that ABC is in one corner and XYZ is in another, but you probably couldn't tell me the relative font sizes and widths and heights of boxes and cards. Unless you're a frontend developer or a UI designer, in which case you're trained to see and remember those things.

There are plenty of examples of people who are able to fluidly navigate 3D systems. RC helicopter pilots are a great example. The helicopter's controls are relative to it, not you, and it takes a while to retrain your brain to think in those terms. But you can see plenty of videos of stunt pilots pulling off tricks that clearly require an excellent understanding of the controls, the mechanics, and the space around the helicopter.

Sculptors are also an excellent example. Even with a reference, I'd bet that it would take you a really long time to replicate an object with clay. However, I once watched an artist friend carve a block of butter into a Buddha over a one hour dinner. I think that would pass your test for having an effective 3D mental model.

Speaking not as any authority on the topic, I'm arguing that our brains aren't usually asked to deal with 3d problems, so we don't have developed mental muscles for it. Except for the people who do deal with 3D regularly.
You're not the target market.

As a matter of fact, that's how just about everything apple works. They are "for the rest of us" and they don't pander to professionals (no matter if they name their products "pro")

Totally ridiculous strawman.
Thanks for the downvote on what I thought was not even controversial. If we have to discuss whether "SSD is undoubtedly the single biggest system performance upgrade in the past 10 years." is correct then I think we can call it agree to disagree.
Backup company doesn't allow backup files or VMs for their official "business tier" plans?
