I don't know if these fears ever actually pan out. In the 90s we had a world full of kids learning on Windows, and many of them later in their career switched to Linux or Mac. In the 2000s we had a world of kids learning Rails and plenty of them moved on to Javascript or Clojure or Python. The world was no worse for their first experience, and alternative tools did not cease to exist.

The people who learn on AWS and have an actual desire to continue their knowledge will always find ways to continue their knowledge. Learning on AWS first is not going to stop that.
The sync data is said to be locally en/de-crypted. The same couldn't be true of the monitored addresses - a hash might be possible but then the alert wouldn't be certain merely probable and couldn't be reasonably sent.
As is cmake. Make is about to hit a mid life crisis, other projects like Ninja are faster and more lightweight, projects like WAF/Premake use a scripting language instead of a DSL, others liek FASTbuild claim to support distrobuted builds. At a certain point, sofradre has to be accepted for what it is, not what it claims to be.
That's highly individual. I did it by leading several fairly involved projects at Google over the course of nearly a decade, and then building two high performance engineering teams from scratch outside Google. I also built a bit of a rare talent stack, which happens to be in heavy demand right now. If you do a good job, people want to work with you again, and don't mind paying pretty penny.
Companies don't really put too much emphasis on tools that someone has used when hiring. It's nice if they have expertise in some areas but mostly people are hired for the quality of their work and they will learn new software depending on what the company uses.
They do actually have regulations that specify yellow duration. In fact, one of the most high-profile and borderline satirical red-light camera cases in the USA[1] was one where someone challenged that the yellow light was not lasting the duration set forth by law.

What do you know what's right? To know what is right you need to see the future and I highly doubt anyone can. Let people decide by themselves. If they get in debt to study some "useless" degree it's their fault. The rest of the tax payers shouldn't be forced to pay for their mistakes.
I'll be so disappointed if it does not have native support for VR. My Rift has been gathering dust, when I first bought it all I could think about was a great flight sim... been waiting so long now.

the dongle should be able to handle 75Mbps (searched for some speed tests), which leads me to believe the problem could be
a) position of the 4G antenna - it is internal so not as powerful as their previous router which had external - have they tried placing the dongle on the top floor of his house near a window facing the nearest 4G mast? not a lot is explained about the testing process
b) the mini router consumes 0.5W power! could the USB 2.0 port even provide the standard 2.5W, or anywhere near it for that matter?
c) a combination of both

I find it odd that they didn't have more folks in the same category as myself. I would want to warn myself about the circumstances of the deaths of some people I knew. A phrase such as "Make sure he doesn't get on that bus" seems a little more important in my eyes. I suppose the warning about horrible events would have more effect, but if limited to personal experiences it would seem saving folks in your orbit would be more popular. Maybe its a sign of how much safer the world has become.

> As an industry we’ve failed all horribly at making secure the easy default option.

This will never and can never happen. Security and sharing are at odds.

If I don't want connectivity, I don't even buy a connected controller as it is more expensive. So, the fact that a connected controller got bought means someone wanted connectivity.

Of course, the person who wanted connectivity didn't allocate any actual money to the person actually doing configuration, maintenance, auditing, updating, etc.

Only at this point, do we have the fact that configuring a secured device is a pain. So, the default is to turn off all the security to get it up and running. After that, if someone can't tweak the software to turn the security back on in a couple of hours, it gets left off (remember--nobody actually allocated budget so these are unbillable, wasted hours).

All of this together collides into a nice big pile of fail.
Right, so there needs to be solutions that work for everyone. That’s why I think food access is key (i.e. more grocery stores in low income neighborhoods). People who need more food can get it, and people who need healthier food will have access.
AGREED. Upvoted.

I'm pro GMO, the science is very sound and uses techniques directly from nature to modify plants, so it's not like we are making something that can't shouldn't exist. But I've always said, its our addiction to the pesticides and soil neglect that is far more harmful than any of these approved GMOs are going to pose.
Mozilla supports WebExtensions since 57+ afaik. Not sure about this if there are some differences in implementation and API's between Firefox's WebExt and Chrome's.
Faith in a non-predatory system is the crux of the issue, not the presence itself of more cameras.

For instance, a well designed system only issues a ticket for an improperly crossing plate after an opposing light has turned green, and fines are proportional or variable eg- to a person's wealth or the extent of the violation. Ideally, there would be a manual review request built into the automated process, a limit on the revenues allowed from the cameras, and the source code would be open for scrutiny in court.

In the US through the 2000s, companies licensing red light cameras to cities were designing them to issue tickets immediately upon red and sometimes sooner, the process to contest was cumbersome in time and cost and heavily in favor of the cameras, and people in areas that were ticketed most were less likely to be able to afford a lawyer or else not equipped to test and evaluate the cameras in the absence of any oversight.

And so the cameras had the opposite effect. It made better sense to speed through yellows than chance getting caught crossing around a red, ensuring that collisions were more destructive and fatal. Others who were afraid of ghost lights would stop at yellows or else slam on brakes coming up to yellows, creating a high risk of rear end collisions.

Those effects linger today in many formerly camera'd intersections, and neither is an improvement in safety for pedestrians or cyclists.
An FAA Qualified Level simulator can easily cost six figures, no one is suggesting a VR simulator is going to replace it - however once you've tried a sim in VR you'd likely never want anything else again.

Does it matter if you pronounce it wrong - half the words I use for internet things I'd never heard anyone say until I'd used them for a long time.

"my SQL" vs "my-sequel" (I use the former), NginX I still pronounce as "en-jinx", similarly GIF.

If people call it "lib-ruh" software it doesn't really matter as long as the meaning is conveyed.
I don't think that was the reason. The reason they waived the safety rule is that a further year of modelling and tests determined that the plant was still safe to run. The motivation for keeping it running was jobs and energy supply. But the extra modelling allows it to continue.
“Companies will regulate themselves” is libertarian orthodoxy, and suggesting otherwise is ahistorical and silly. (But then again so is libertarianism.)
I don’t understand this reply. It would make sense if they were arguing that it needs to have VR support or else it will fail, but all they did was state their own personal opinion.

> I suppose if you used a minicomputer in the 70s or 80s then you used this or something like this chip.

Most likely. What I liked about the old microcoded minicomputer designs back then was how accessible they were. The parts being fairly easy to understand with simple interfaces.
It wouldn’t matter. An error would have to occur in such a way as to also corrupt the data and the checksum in such a way that the corrupted checksum is valid for the errant block.
Microsoft definitely still did as of late 2017, when I was still there. You're absolutely right, it was easier to just get a job elsewhere and that was what I did! Hah. I'm trying to avoid that here, because I like the company, just hoping to work on a different product.

Is a transfer interview not common elsewhere? Anyone know if Amazon or Google requires something like that?

> It’s the path of least resistance in action

This. Combined with the fact that the handful of people who have the knowledge/experience to properly secure the systems are probably too busy/overworked to expend the time to improve the situation. Note that the time to improve the situation includes not only the actual time to implement the changes, but also the time to play politics and get funding/resources.

At least at the company I work at, management cared about security for about a month after Wannacry happened. Once all the PCs were patched for that specific issue, it was back to business as usual.
Had this same problem too. Compared two sata controllers and noticed one was missing an inductor from the board. Amazing it worked at all

> contrast this to say the Apple Cloud leak which led to the infamous "fappening"

This breach was not due to missteps or problems with security on Apple’s part (though Apple has had issues with security lapses, notably passwordless root login on macOS which was never reported to have been exploited [0]).

In the instance of “The Fappening”, the breach that lead to the exposure of iCloud data was “revealed to have been gained via spear phishing attacks”. [1]

The big issue with blender compared to some of the other options on the market is the cluttered ui- it doesn't look friendly to artists/tech artists and the controls are very unintuitive for someone who uses other 3d softwares.

I'm curious as to why the community working on it hasn't taken steps to change this- the software is equally if not more functional than alternatives like Maya and making it a bit more familiar to industry professionals could go a long way

> Do you believe? do you have no doubts? Do you try to think about those doubts or you attempt to push the thoughts away so you don't upset God that you are considering what if he does not exists or what if your religion is the wrong one, really bad one.

Honestly I'm not sure what I believe. I lean towards believing in a God but I'm full of doubt about the essence of God. I was brought up in a Christian home and like you really religious when a kid. We had a "high ceiling" both at home and in the church, encouraging individual thinking and discussion so I never felt brainwashed. If there is a God I think He/She is greater than any religion can encompass, so there may be strands of truth in many religions.

I don't worry so much over having the correct faith (IMHO any God worth their salt would not condemn a man based on things unknowable) as about the consequences of my actions (or in-actions). So for me, any religion that encourages its followers to do good things to other people, and not bad things to other people seems like it can't be really bad (it can still be practiced badly..). Following the teachings of Jesus then seems like a good idea ("Love thy neighbor...Do unto others... etc"). Unfortunately, while a lot of Christians do that, a lot of them don't.

While I tend to believe myself to be quite rational, I still prefer to keep an open mind about these things. If you've read C.S Lewis "The magicians nephew", there's a part in the book where all the animals start talking, but the magician only hears growls and animalistic sounds because he has convinced himself that it simply cannot be that the animals speak. That's my greatest fear, that I've closed my mind to possibilities outside of my very limited comprehension.

> Not sure I buy your Judas story, if he believed then he was stupid to sell God.

I'm not sure I think Judas believed Jesus was God, I think Judas may have believed him to be the Messiah, who many Jewish groups had differing ideas about. Some believed the Messiah would be an earthly king, and I believe that Judas may have been one of those people.
Well written pure julia programs tend to be about as fast as C, or in other words about 100 times faster than Python or R.

Before that gets you too excited or sceptical, let me say that end users will not really see many significant speed boosts. When I say end users, I mean people who are just loading packages and writing scripts where they plug variables into functions from the package. The reason these end users won't see much difference is that a well made Python or R package (including things like Numpy) are actually Python and R wrappers around C, C++, Fortran or Julia code. However, if you are trying to do something that your packages weren't directly designed to do and writing non-trivial code, then you're going to start seeing the speed advantages of Julia.

With all that in mind, I'd say the main reason for end users to use Julia is not the speed, it's the expressiveness and the top notch libraries.

Expressiveness is kinda a vague concept, but what I'm basically saying is that through things like multiple dispatch and macros, julia is able to provide ways of writing programs in almost any domain that feel incredibly natural and various programs will compose with eachother in ways you won't see in any language except Common Lisp.

Finally, because of Julia's native speed and expressiveness, it doesn't get in package developers way like Python and R do and so we're seeing that even though julia has a much smaller community than Python or R, we have a package ecosystem that's quite comparable and in certain specific regions, flat out superior. As adoption grows, we're going to see the julia package ecosystem accelerate and Julia will make sense for more end users.

For now, whether or not Julia makes sense for you really depends on what field you're working in (ie. if there are good packages already for the tasks you're interested in) and how advanced a programmer you are / want to be (ie. if you're going to be trying to do something that's not already covered by existing packages).
Test in production? Yes you can (and you should)
Thank you, too.
Seemingly unpopular take on my experience with various review sites:

1) In the US, Yelp's reviews of restaurants have a significantly higher correlation with reality than any other review site. Google reviews are okay.

2) In Europe, Yelp reviews are mostly by American tourists and are sparser and higher variance quality-wise. Google reviews seem to be generally the best in Europe. (Canada might be a toss-up between Yelp and Google.)

3) In both continents TripAdvisor reviews are pretty much meaningless. I've been to multiple restaurants on TripAdvisor with ~4.5 that have absolutely sucked in terms of both food, service, and atmosphere.

I don't have much experience with reviews for local businesses that aren't restaurants or outside of the US/Canada/Europe. But in the US, for all of Yelp's supposed manipulation, their reviews are noticeably better than other sites'.

Why not money? In a capitalist society, it's the one thing that really counts. Money represents resource allocation.

Trying to solve the problem by changing your own behavior, and only your own behavior, is low-order thinking. The real problem is that the cheapest behaviors are not also the most eco-friendly behaviors. Sure, you personally might be able to afford to (for example) pay more for glass containers, mentally chalking up the difference as an unaccounted externality in plastic bottles. But until that difference is accounted in the price, society's behavior will not change.

If you really want to solve the problem properly, it's better to spend your money on things that will change everyone's behavior, not just your own. That means things like lobbyists and scientific research. It's less personally satisfying but more effective.
I first started using zfs in 2005 when my hardware raid failed. Since then I’ve moved the disks to a new server in 2009 and replaced all the disks twice (one at a time for redirecting). Finally I built a new server this year. This time I’m using zfs send/recv to copy data to the new disks. The old server is still working 10 years later & its latest disks have been in use 24x7 for over 5 years now. Zpool scrub on the old server takes days now (compared to one hour on copied zpool on the new server).

Even back in 2009 I heard some Linux enthusiasts tell me how btrfs was going to be better than zfs!
This is a general issue for software I find - where is function X [now] (when I know function X exists).

For settings, eg on phones, MS Windows, Linux, this used to be a big problem to and it has been solved by simply including a settings search.

Is it time apps had a "search" on the application menu that would then open the relevant dialog, or perhaps optionally allow the finding of the menu item (eg open the menu, open the sub-menu, highlight the menu item that opens the dialog, pause, open the dialog)?

I had the same issue earlier, where is the Voice settings in Steam -- it strikes me if I can type "voice" in a function-search on the main menu that would be better than trawling for help info online.

well, if you’re talking about 30 years ago, it was probably a different world then. It probably was less of a certification than entry into a guaranteed job.

today, the only analog to such a selection criteria in Singapore would be combat pilot selection. Every year probably a few thousand apply, about 200 manage to pass medicals, aptitudes etc, to go basic wings and only about 15-20 make the final cut.

That doesn’t happen in academia today though. A certificate doesn’t guarantee you a job, fewer tenure positions available, school fees rising, less govt support, administration getting more powerful due to corporatization etc. The certificate is seen as default end product, not a trophy for the top performers.
I don’t. I’m just wondering why not?

There’s a strong assertion that it’s a bad idea, but no actual reasons given. The link doesn’t address it. So I asked the question.

So far the answers have been downvotes and evasive questions, so I’m leaning toward the idea I stepped into some kind of ideological thing. That’s fine, I don’t really care so I withdraw the question.

Unless you have a competitor making a nearly identical product. That's why I said it was exploitation of a monopolistic position. There is no other car company close to Tesla, so they get to pay these games.

Same as a chip manufacturer, say Intel, developing a process to make say 3x faster chips. But instead of releasing the fastest chip they could make, they titrate their new ability to the market over time. First a chip 50% faster, then 2x, etc., so they can milk the market.

I don't know about what you're willing to accept, but I don't like being treated like a farmer's cow.
