yeah, I was in Durham, NC and was pretty close to the tower. I don't think there was much congestion.
I got a few paragraphs in before I had to stop.

My Mum fought tooth and nail against my Dad for me to get my first proper computer after I spent over 2 years cobbling together an ancient machine out of scraps and garbage.

I had the carcasses of 4-5 machines stashed under my bed by the time I got a single good (in the loosest sense of the word) machine to boot.

My childhood was defined by the conflict between my parents where Mum tirelessly defended my right to learn.

Fathers are incredibly powerful and they can make a difference. Whether that difference is positive or negative depends on the father in question. I have slowly rebuilt my relationship with my own father over many years, but we will never be close. It hurts.
Look for the "Anytyme" brand of 4K TV Monitors - they are only a monitor, no "smart" no built in CPU of any sort, it's just a big, beautiful, dumb mutherfucking 4K monitor - and they cost around $200 US - I have 4 of them.
It's really not. Knowing how to solve those leetcode questions has not improved my professional life one bit. I am not a better programmer.. In fact it probably made me worse. At my work I pretty much never deal with the kind of coding that leetcode requires. I'm more interested in writing larger scale software rather than throw away toy problems which completely ignore code quality or maintainability.

In fact, I'm not even good at solving leetcode problems that well so I wasn't able to get a job at the big N companies...although it did help with passing the interview at one of the smaller companies.

> "A human paying attention assisted by a computer paying attention is always going to be safer than either separately."

> No. Stating something as a fact without analyzing it in the slightest is bad.

> Example:

> (1) Only a computer is "paying attention" performing the "assisted emergency breaking" role. The computer has an effective reaction time of 1/100 of a second. Within 2/100 of a second of a qualifying event, the vehicle will be in full antilock brake mode.

> (2) A human and a computer are "paying attention" performing the "assisted emergency breaking" role (this is a little silly in that the human is already the primary brake operator...). The computer still has 1/100 s reaction time, but the human's reaction time is 25/100 s. What exactly is the human bringing to the table? It is true that the human may detect an actual threat the computer doesn't...however that slow reaction time means it likely won't make a difference in the outcome. On the other hand, the human may "detect" a false alarm, and emergency brake by mistake. That activity often leads to wrecks!

> I submit that the computer-only emergency brake assist is safer than the combination of human and computer. Further, all of these "human in the loop" systems suffer from a fatal flaw - the inability of people to pay attention unless it's absolutely crucial.

> The way people use Tesla Autopilot shows that full autonomy is necessary, and will in fact be safer than any "assisted" system.

I think your example is uncharitable because you allow for a human to react to a false alarm in the second but don't account for a computer to react similarly in the first. Personally speaking, I have seen very few occasions of people exercising extreme braking wrongly. I feel computers would be less apt at discerning from a false positive than a human operator with even a little experience behind the wheel.

Given that autonomous cars can be misled by painting roadways certain ways [0], it's clear to me that the number of unknown unknowns that must be handled by a car are large in number, and I have less faith in the skillful handling of those events by a computer than a human.

It happened to me few times while crossing border to Switzerland.

We usually smoke everything we have a couple of kms before the border, just to be sure we have nothing when they are going to check on us, after all that's their job, they're gonna check anyway.

It also happened on the border to Slovenia, with my girlfriend, they separated us and told me they had a new test that detected every known drug and could charge me on the account of using.

I laughed so hard that they let us go.
Your opinion doesn't trump 70+ years of Human Factors, guy. Touch screens are dangerous to yourself and other drivers because they don't provide tactile feedback or physical presence.
I'm a little confused by the link, seems more like it is "they support linux" than "I can buy one with linux preinstalled"

And yet, every single phone today is nothing but a “picture under glass” and, far from a paradigm of permanent numbness, humans are intimately connected to these devices they carry with them everywhere.

Rant is the right way to describe this.

Do you remember the first time you used a map on a smooth multi-touch screen? The joy of panning and zooming around, tapping to learn more about any particular point! I remember that first experience was a total rush and extremely stimulating.

Feeling like
the digital map was connected to my fingertip as you pan with that point stuck under your finger — absolute magic.

There are some interfaces which are absolutely superior when provided as picture under multi-touch glass.

Denying a touchscreen entirely is to make huge compromises in the overall experience when configuring something as fully featured as a modern vehicle.
For me, Slack has fully replaced email for any time sensitive communication. Email still exists but only for the following:

- Company or department wide announcements

- Welcoming new hires

- Artifacts from build systems and automated tools

- Inter-team communications when planning something new

Anything with a real deadline is communicated through slack or skype.
True, you can have as many divs as you want. But it can't be in a more sensible element and there is no good reason with today's CSS layout to want to put it in untold wrappers. Maybe it is a react thing where everything has to be in div wrappers.

Anyway, if the spec matters more than the toolchain it should not be anywhere but directly under the body element.

My original comment was clearly anecdotal, which is not the same thing as being '100% feels'.
Climate is not ternary, it's definitely important for driving in cold climates. To the point that if you can't see ahead, you need to stop on the expressway in order to adjust the airflow to windscreen, so that you don't collide into the other guy who has stopped to adjust the airflow in his car.
Except in the fact that they did as proved by multiple intelligence agencies (including the Dutch) and multiple infosec security companies?
None, but probably it sends the message "all hardware is supported" to users who can't find the information for themselves and wouldn't buy otherwise.
That's a great point. Someone else could have even modified the page content before taking the screenshot, which would make the modifications undetectable.

It seems like the agent has to claim he took the screenshots himself; otherwise, they are worthless as "evidence."
Why do you say "less than ethically"?

Copyrights, patents, and trademarks have clear limits. An overly expansive theory of copyright would be stifling to innovation and free expression.

It was sourced from someone who was liberal about taking legal risks, but I have a hard time seeing what ethical rights were broken. Indeed, the opposite theory is that if we don't exercise out rights, they go away and Google's source is risking litigation to preserve our rights.

The rightsholder here are the artists and their proxies (publishers and agents), not Genius. I wouldn't feel bad of they asked for a takedown or royalties.
I think the reason they are doing that is because if people do notice that all their rights are gone waking up one day in 2047, what would happen then would dwarf the protests we see now. They would rather portray HK as bickering over something minor many times then being in open revolt over a huge infringement of all their rights at the same time.

I am not a lawyer, but presumably at least part of the reason they're wanting to execute a search warrant on 8chan is to gather evidence with a clear chain of custody.

These screenshots are part of a court filing to get that search warrant. Imagine if I sent in an anonymous tip that my neighbor was running an illegal dogfighting ring, and I included photos of dogs I'd seen in his yard. My possibly-faked photos probably wouldn't stand up in a trial, but they certainly might help convince a judge to sign a search warrant for further investigation.
Ruby 3.0 Redux
Search for Quirk CBT. I think the core is open source and they have supporting apps for the various phone platforms. It isn't a general survey tool, but specifically tailored for CBT from what I understand.

I've not used it, so I can't endorse it one way or the other, but the author was interviewed on a podcast I listen to [1] and it seems like exactly what you are asking for. He went through a situation similar to what you are describing and created the project when he couldn't find software like what you are looking for.

Good luck.

Is there any benefit to ordering a thinkpad pre-installed with Linux vs re-imaging it myself after purchasing (besides cost)? I’d have a few one-off cases where it’d be nice to boot into a windows environment but would otherwise love a dedicated Linux laptop. I’m wondering if there is any special configurations that Lenovo adds to their Linux installs that I would be missing if I just reimaged a windows one.
If you have a strong background in both C and Java, I’d encourage you to give Go a fair shot. I also had long runs with C and Java, but ever since I’ve tried Go, it has become my favorite Swiss Army knife. Basically, it’s my default language until I have a reason not to use it.

I've discovered functional CSS some months ago, and I don't think I'll ever look back. Building everything with simple classes makes it easy to keep things consistent, appearance concerns live firmly in the style layer, and once patterns of classes used together start to appear, I can break the rules a little with SCSS and make classes like "button" ("ps ts cap rc2 box1") for the shorthand convenience.
You have a lawyer you meet at trial and don't get privacy with, and that's provided they're not incentivized (with money or otherwise) to deliberately fail to defend you.

This used to be a stock feature in a lot of phones. I haven't had a phone that did this since my HTC Droid Incredible back in 2011.
It’s fundamentally different for a hyperpower to do this versus a failed superpower. There is no comparison and as an American it’s in our best interest to utilize our cultural and military hegemony for the best of our interests.

> a strain of leftist totalitarianism

A strain of leftist totalitarianism which - as it turns out - originally came about as a result of Russian (well, Soviet, but still) political interference. Isn't that deliciously ironic? Of course the memetic infection has been self-propagating for a very long time, also merging with other strains originating from e.g. Maoist China at the peak of the Cultural Revolution. It's a bit like a zombie invasion which has no real underlying goals of its own besides memetic success - but the Russian propaganda component was definitely there originally!
> I submit that the computer-only emergency brake assist is safer than the combination of human and computer

You're choosing to ignore the fact that computers still make mistakes.

My friend's car (an Acura) recently slammed on the brakes @ 70mph because it mistakenly thought a car in an adjacent lane was in his lane. Had there been someone following close behind him, it probably would've caused an accident.

This is not an uncommon occurrence, especially with Honda/Acura's system. You can find tons of complaints online about AEB systems reacting to false positives.
The advantage of computers that you can buy without a pre-installed OS or with a free OS (freedos! Linus, etc...), is that you don't pay the Windows tax.
Very nice. I didn't know about the Mist box and now I want one :)

My girlfriend's 2019 Mazda CX-5 has both a touchscreen and analog controls. Carplay will use both but Android Auto has always just used the analog controls.

Well.. as a developer who probably works more with CSS and HTML than anything else, I really enjoyed this report. I found the visualizations and even the overall design provocative, and I even learned a few things in the process (overscroll-behavior?!)
Totally agree on that! Sometimes we're so focused to the product we ignore who is using it.
I would but then I cant use netflix on it.
I think the vast majority of the issues come from the fundamental disconnect between what people want to believe they are hiring for ahd what they are actually hiring for.

I have been in this industry for over 25 year from being a grunt, all the way to three letter jobs. The most uncomfortable question in decision to open a job is "What are we trying to accomplish by opening this job?"

In my experience if one is cut through the posturing the answer is "We need two developers with the following credentials because we believe that by having those developers we can increase the output -- more lines of code that we need to generate to make feature we promised on a road map ship. They need to know Angular/Javascript/Css/Node/Go/React/Kafka/K8s/RMQ and be ninjas". Should one drill down what that feature is one would find "It is a new dialog box and if a user is to click this button some things will happen and X email would be sent. Our users want this. We currently use backbone but we will be using Angular in future. API is written in node but we have a few projects to explore Go and we are using RMQ for queues though there's a team that is tinkering with Kafka" That's what the manager is actually hiring for.

So the real job requirement is:

"Need to get two butts in seats to build a dialog box to trigger an API action that would publish a message to a workflow queue. Must know a bit about backbone/css/javascript, nodejs and rabbitmq" [0]

Recognizing that one wants to put butts in seats rather than someone who can spearhead the API move from nodejs to Go would change the entire dynamics. Hardcore interviews for the 1st make no sense -- if a person can think, you can teach them how to write some javascript, mangle some backbone code, create a new route in an existing Express application and publish a message to a queue.

[0] Look at the hiring ads here. It looks like everyone is hiring Chief Architects that code.
Mr. Trump surrounds himself with people who has the explicitly stated goals of:

1. Preventing China growing further thus surpassing USA in economic might and by extension military might.

2. Regime change in China, the communist party's downfall from power and possible breakup of mainland China.

They even have revived the cold war institution "Committee on the Present Danger" whos public lectures and discussions can be found on youtube.

Secondly I think the anti-China sentiment in USA is so strong that mr. Trump can be reelected on it.

For China this is a sputnik moment where they realize that for them to continue growth beyond this critical point, they need to become completely self-sufficient.
Would “what is one of the most interesting bugs you’ve ever encountered?” allay your concerns? I think that’s the main intent of the question above.
I think we have pretty similar views while talking about the tech and usability itself. It is just that I fundamentally disagree that you need to touch or look at anything while driving.

You say people need to interact with navigation while driving, which is simply not true. People want to interact with navigation while driving. They could cope without it. We didn't even have navigation all that long ago, to say we need it is a stretch let alone to touch it while driving. If it's causing accidents, and it is, it should be considered dangerous. Perhaps the Model 3 is better at it, but it is still a danger to look away from the road even for a second or two.

That means screens are out, and we need better ways to display and interact with information while driving. HUDs, sounds or feel is all I will agree is safe.

I'm sorry, but no. Yes, important all going same speed, but all else equal slower = safer. more time to react to unexpected events. better traction to road. less energy in a crash.
That's no excuse. React has no opinions about which elements nest within which others. Since React 16, it doesn't even force unnecessary wrapper elements thanks to the inclusion of `React.fragment`.
If you don't control the build env (e.g. FOSS work), then of course relying on -Werror might yield unnecessary trouble.

Nice! Honda have always put some great effort into their designs. I had an Accord Euro Luxury '05 some 14 years ago, and it was such a pleasure to drive around. Still regret selling it. It was the first semi affordable car on the Australian market to offer stability control and full set of airbags (as long as you got the luxury model).

I'd love to read that article you proposed. As much as I'd love a Tesla, my last #2 car (now sold) was a '14 Mazda 3 Astina and the rotary knob just worked so well - and so did the buttons, not to mention that simple heads up display, that I felt this is better than what the expensive cars are getting.

I have an eye for the new Civic Type R; it looks like the engineers had a field day designing that. For now, just riding a bike as health for this ageing office chair worker had to take priority.

This polyfill is useful if you want your Firefox-based extension to seamlessly run as a Chromium-based extension.

However uBO's code base was primarily that of a Chromium-based extension (it predates Firefox WebExtensions), and Firefox extensions API does not require a polyfill to run Chromium-based extensions.

So roughly I just needed both `chrome` and `browser` references to access the same API, the long term goal being to opportunistically replace all instances of `chrome` with `browser` (I find the later more vendor neutral).
I've always been accustomed to black text on white. If I switch to black background, the text is blurry and I either need to put on my glasses or physically move my face closer to the screen.

Yes, you can use most Unicode in a domain name these days, by using Punycode, but not all browsers support it. In this case, "xn--h4haaaa.ws" displays as "️️️️️<5x skull-and-crossbones emoji>.ws" in certain browsers, including iOS Safari.

This site is using a bit of clientside JS [1] to automatically redirect the user from "xn--h4haaaa.ws" to "pixelpirate.club" and vice versa, depending on if your browser supports "Emoji domains" [2].
