This is definitely not the 'recency bias' I expected.

I've always noticed that when a show is released it gets WAY higher ratings in the first week or so of the release date. I've learned not to trust the ratings until at least a 2 weeks after a release.

It looks like this analysis focuses on the year a film was released. This seems like it would be a lot harder to determine because film quality changes (subjective) and the audience writing reviews is probably changing over time.

This article doesn’t provide evidence for your claim that plastics are not so abundant in the oceans, it only points out that a specific study that relied on a false premise (that PVC is a high percentage or is well-represented in ocean plastics) is flawed. It makes almost no mention of the abundance of actual ocean plastics.

This would be excellent. I'm hesitant about the prospect of an ARM based macbook, but having both seems mighty compelling. As a lower power application CPU for light usage, or a full x86 with accelerators / co-processors when needed.
> It's no different than requesting a certain nickname or shortened name over one's legal name.

You're asking to be treated more special than everyone else because you're asking for changes in the way people speak, not simply to remember your name (and people have a hard enough time remembering names). It would be similar if I asked to you to avoid a specific set of commonly-used words around me and if you said them, I would perceive it as disrespect. Eventually, people get used to using the right words, but not without effort.
I think what happened 200 years ago is still relevant to the present (heck, 200 years ago we were full steam into colonialism and slavery, and no one would argue it has no lasting consequences anymore)

But my argument is not about distant past.

I think the US is not caught into widespread IT theft and other public scandals partly because it has experienced agencies with good operational knowledge.

And partly because no one has been pushing the US enough to get into overt intelectual “war” against a country, but I feel we’re getting closer everyday. The day a country gets enough ahead of the US, we’ll get back to a public “us vs them” stance with stealing IP from that country becoming basically a patriotic feat, because you know, they’re the “ennemy”.
You're right that the end user doesn't care about what technology you use, but do they care about things not working? Do they care that a new feature takes 3 months to develop when it could have taken 1 month if the code had been better architected?

Its funny to see management types dismiss the programmers as being "airy-fairy" when they talk about things like code quality and technology stacks but then they wonder why things get completed on time, why bugs happen, why sites get hacked etc.

Somebody else has mentioned this analogy before in this thread, but if you had a house built would you say the same thing about the structural integrity? "As long as the floor can support me then thats all that matters", "House dwellers don't care what kind of structural beams are used to support the floor they just want it to not collapse". That kind of a mentality is ok for an average person living in a house but you'd you have to be off your rocker to hire a building manager who said that.
I worked for an employer where everyone quit in unison when it was revealed he had refused to pay taxes for nearly a decade, the company account was being levied by the IRS, people hadn't been paid.

The company was run poorly and the passwords to most services were held by random people in the company. He did get the key to the kingdom (the domain name) but he's just too incompetent to realize that with domain ownership he can just set up new email hosting and use password reset on all the services... Instead he keeps making legal threats to get things he trivially can get access to himself.

I've been deeply unimpressed by the "chaotic" behavior of Lorentz systems ever since seeing a web page that showed an example (in only two dimensions), with some discussion of what people meant by calling it "chaotic".

You could click anywhere in the plane to launch a particle. That particle then moved in very regular figure 8s through the Cartesian plane. The idea of calling the system chaotic is that, given the position of the particle at time t_0, you can't answer the question "where will it be at time t_n?" in the form of a coordinate pair. Two particles launched near-simultaneously from near-identical locations may, at a particular future time, wind up in any two arbitrary points in the orbit. So, "unpredictable behavior".

But it seems to me that you can make a lot of high-quality predictions about the particle's position. You can say it's going to be in a small 8-shaped region of space, which is pretty good when the universe is an infinite Cartesian plane. If you know where it is right now, you can also say with quite a bit of accuracy where it will be soon. But as your prediction gets more remote in time, it will necessarily fuzz out spatially across the whole 8, as if the particle were an electron.

On the analogy to butterflies, this certainly can't justify claiming that a butterfly can cause a hurricane somewhere by flapping its wings. The most you can say is that the butterfly might move a hurricane that was going to happen anyway from e.g. March to July. (Though even then, as this article notes, that conclusion is only valid if the rest of the world is static; in reality, there are millions of other butterflies.)

But though this article focuses more heavily on interference from many other minor agents, what really bothered me about the popular concept of chaos theory was the idea that a particle moving slowly in very predictable patterns was a good example of "chaotic", "unpredictable" behavior.

Come on, even Dale had to acknowledge that his "apology" was totally fake and inadequate, and issue a more convincing one later: https://makezine.com/2017/11/19/apology-to-naomi-wu/ If that tweet and article was the only thing you had to go on, "do not forgive, do not forget" is a totally sensible attitude.

Another source code that demonstrates how things that are easy to write, read and understand in FP languages are a nightmare in Rust. Maybe making functional code indecipherable is not the best example of what Rust may actually be good for.
Note that if you parse the MFT itself you can calculate this info for the entire drive in the time explorer can calculate it for a single folder. I know there is some overhead with the official api of course and it needs to support other filesystems but we really needed a way to iterate directories faster just to gather this kind of info. There are several disk space utilization / treesize apps and file search apps that take advantage of the speed you get by bypassing the API.

You're advocating for the users to make their choice at the worst possible time. There's no reason to give a new app special trust when you sign up with it.

But if you come to trust the app, and Apple excommunicates it, should you need to rely on Apple to help you reestablish your own contact with it? That won't work -- Apple already demonstrated that they don't like that app.

That's why makomk's complaint is

Time is also my problem (I have 3 childs). I also think that the amount of effort needed to produce something with enough polish to be useful (software or hardware) is very high.

IMHO, the quick pace at which everything change is a major cause of this complexity. Even for professional products, for example it is already difficult to find hardware supported by redhat 6. As opposite, see the effect of stability of arduino or ne555.
This common prediction has not at all been borne out by facts. Physical books still remain popular -- maybe not as popular as thirty years ago, but there's a lot of reasons why that would be the case (general availability of entertainment from competing media). Most importantly, there was a 2017 study that showed that young children prefer reading physical books to reading books electronically.

Physical books have been with us much longer, culturally speaking, than vinyl records were. We're talking millennia. It's going to take much more than the iPad to kill them off.

> IIRC, some years passed between when Hitler and the Nazis came to power in Germany, and when they came to be considered "evil incarnate".

Hitler's anti-Semitism and his use of paramilitary thugs to beat up political opponents were well known before he came to power. He wrote about his plans for German conquest of Europe and racial purity in Mein Kampf in the 1920s. The only question, when he came to power, was whether he would put this extreme views into action, and whether the people who installed him in power would constrain him.

He didn't waste much time showing that he was going to pursue a radical agenda, violently suppressing almost all political and cultural institutions that opposed him (the "Gleichschaltung"), having himself "voted" dictatorial powers (the "Ermächtigungsgesetz," and I put "voted" in quotes because he had to throw the Communist parliamentarians in jail in order to get the measure passed), enacting a boycott of Jewish businesses, kicking Jews out of positions in the bureaucracy and universities, and passing strict racial separation laws (the Nuremberg race laws). There was also, before long, the overt remilitarization.

Because people in non-English-speaking countries are perfectly within their rights to name source code entities in their native language instead of either having to mangle words into ASCII representations (possibly even leading to ambiguities in case of near-homonyms that have identical ASCII bastardizations!) or being forced to awkwardly translate domain terminology into English which is a task that may be any of the following: a) against organization policy, b) not what programmers are paid to do, c) lead to ambiguous or outright misleading translations, d) require good English skills from anyone touching the code, e) make documentation more difficult, f) present unnecessary hurdles when onboarding new people to work on the code.
The iOS App Store tries to do this since a version or two ago.

Apps still stick a bunch of junk in their names though. Partially because there are app name squatters, and one way to get around an app name being taken is to add stuff to it. Partially due to SEO myths.
With growing power and capabilities of individuals the only thing that really stands between us and disasters of any kind (physical, social, environmental, ...) is the utter incompetence and lack of creativity of bad actors.

Worth noting that Harry Laughlin was not an outlier. Many of the 'great and the good' at that time were supporters of eugenics and included Winston Churchill, GB Shaw, Neville Chamberlain, JM Keynes, Jack London and HL Mencken. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland all brought in eugenics laws in the 1930s. Those deemed to be unfit to reproduce were sterilized.

> We are not software engineers, and we won't be until regulatory bodies exist, and we develop codes of ethics.

Nobody said that you are software engineer, you can just call yourself whatever you want

Those who called themselves software engineers are indeed software engineers, no one can forbids it

Fancy term like engineer is for marketing purposes, just like you said it's prestigious, they use it because they want to impress people, anything wrong with that? No, it's correct.

And it's also correct if anyone think they don't fit the title engineer, because it's his/her opinion which the software engineers won't likely give a fuck.

No one can stop them from using the term.

As for the Canada's law, the earth is bigger than that AFAIK. China and US software engineers are waiting for arrest. Except for Texas FYI

Standardization/basic practices mean shits by the way, it's research and development phases during engineering, people can invent what they want in their own ways as long as their products are legit

I still find it absolutely ridiculous and extremely unlikely, something that you shouldn’t have to account for. I can understand breaking an iPhone screen since you carry with you at all times.

It is like comparing and shopping for a car based on whether it will accidentally catch fire. Unlikely and there more things to worry about than breaking your monitor screen.

I have the 2204A and can second the recommendation. Really good bang for the buck (120EUR here in Germany, including two probes), very compact and robust. Of course, with 10MHz you shouldn't expect too much, but for looking at low-speed communication it is perfectly OK. What I really enjoy are the many different trigger options (and they actually work).
When buying an USB scope one must remember that it is nothing without the software, and the one from Picotech is well done. They also support Linux although that one is still in Beta and still has less features, but they say they are working on feature parity. It's not (F)OSS, though.
That’s eerily good at replicating the style. Even the links are styled properly.
Apple said that they are going to allow the user to disable an auto forwarding address. I’m assuming there would be some way for the user to see a list of app -> email address associations.
You’re attacking a strawman. I didn’t say readers should take anything as unbiased. I just pointed out that the guardian neither pretends to be unbiased, nor would it be obliged to be. So what’s the point you’re making?
I think that was deliberate, the idea was to allow tinkering. The message being you don't have to be an engineer to build stuff.
Explorer/Finder/File Manager is one type of app I wish someone would make a nice Electron version of. It's more or less the last piece of platform-specific software I use.

I currently switch back and forth from MacOS and Windows and I dislike what both have to offer. I used to be ok with Explorer but somewhere around Windows 8 they "improved" it in several ways that made it alien to me. I hate Finder, the fact that there is no simple way to copy the current path is just completely beyond me, and the fact that enter means rename will never make sense to me either.

I know that there are a number of cross-platform "commander" apps that I could use but though I was addicted to the original (Norton Commander), I don't much care for that paradigm anymore. Does anyone know of other good alternatives?
I don't completely understand the logic. After all, if they shut down, the VCs won't get anything, either. So why not keep it running and reap at least little rewards.

> People are paying significant markup on Cars for BMW, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bently. You could buy a Car from Toyota or Kia with Same Horsepower.
The thing is they are NOT the same. They never was.

this is kind of an interesting comment. especially since you mentioned bmw. with bmw, you literally are buying a brand. i know at least two motorcycle dealers that stopped carrying bmw because bmw required very specific, and very expensive, signage, paint scheme, flooring, etc. to just be a bmw dealer, even if the dealer carried other motorcycle brands (which were typically high-end italian brands).

the new kia stinger performance destroys the equivalent bmw car, at a significant fraction of the price. not to mention the stinger looks better (subjective) and has insane fit and finish.

https://youtu.be/sPD1joDOlLo

my kia optima has a better fit and finish and leather than any tesla i have been in. with those companies, you are buying a brand more than anything.

> Apple's products still deliver Better Build Quality, Better finishing, Better Trackpad ( I hate the new enlarged size, but still one of the best trackpad out there ) better software integration.

every apple product i have purchased has quit working. my iPad air stopped after just two years of babied operation. it wouldn’t even turn on or charge. apple wanted $300 to “repair” it after claiming it wasn’t a battery issue. my macbook pro’s wifi card stopped after just five years, and many keys barely work due to key failure. the bluetooth never worked with speakers (a common and well documented issue). the chassis would shock me in certain scenarios (another well documented and known issue by users). again, it was babied. my macbook before that required three unsuccessful replacements of the dvd drive before they replaced the entire macbook. my brother’s iphone 7s plus stopped the day after the warranty ended. apple did nothing. another friend’s iPhone 6s plus would just barely work, less than two years in, even after a battery replacement by apple.

and better software integration? not even close. iOS has been a travesty on the iPad in terms of integration. (just try to use multiple audio, music apps and see.) hardly anything about apple’s software just works anymore. i constantly had issues with audio software breaking after basically forced os upgrades.
That doesn’t require a blockchain based system though. A single entity can secure a crypto currency.

You can convert PayPal directly into US dollars at your bank, so I don’t think they would see any benefit to supporting such a distributed token system unless the could make a cut on every transaction.

I’m having a hard time seeing Facebook being able to support a stable coin without being subject to the same regulations and cost as any other system.

Perhaps they will get a competitive advantage through data mining and could charge smaller transaction fees.
To me this is a fair rule and benefetial for the end users, it will give more options to them. It simply says "if there are competitors, you must include us".

I'm not an Apple user, but I would expect Apple to provide and guarantee that you can log in any app with your Apple login. Seems fair to me.

Also, I'm pretty confident that Google offering a privacy-oriented SSO on Google Play would be appreciated by everyone. Privacy on Android is such a joke : any app can freely read the accounts present on your phone, they don't even need you to sign in to identify you
