All languages I know of _default_ to a radix of 10 though, allowing other radixes where a prefix is added like 0b111010, 0xa7b45fd9, etc.

Seems intuitive that if parseInt allows omitting the radix parameter, that it should default to whatever radix a standard integer primitive would default to.

I was always interested in electrical engineering and after a couple years of watching stuff on youtube and trying it out myself, all from a leisure time perspective, it turned out I became qualified enough to do it professionally. I've been doing firmware forever and now I design the gadgets too. It has been very valuable.
Corporate welfare comes in more forms than tax rebates. Reconfiguring your educational system to suit the desires of a company also counts, as much as it does when places change their transportation policy to suit a big shop.

Why would you use parseInt over Math.round if you only expect a single arg?

Seems like you'd only want to use parseInt if you expect to need radix changes at some point, e.g. converting between hex strings, decimal values, and binary strings

['1', '7', '11'].map(Math.round)
// => [1, 7, 11]

[["00000001", 2], ["00000111", 2], ["0x0B", 16]].map(x => parseInt(...x))
// => [1, 7, 11]

Wow. That's pretty telling.

More telling is that these tax incentives all seem off-the-shelf. Like these cities are crazy inflating the sticker price of their taxes just so they can turn around and boast to businesses about how much they are taking off. Like a cheap salesman.
Good. Children are missing or in cages, separation of powers is being flagrantly dismantled, and we're on the precipice of a destabilizing global war. This fascist party needs to be snuffed out like a candle.

I'm not trying to crap on Wiedefeld, but all he's doing is what every one knew/knows needs to be done, it's just that no one else before him would actually do it because it's a very tough pill to swallow. Turns out fixing things improves reliability, but he's had to inconvenience a lot of riders to get it. Some have switched from public transit completely.

The reality is that Metro still has a lot of work in front of it and still has to crawl back form decades of neglect and poor planning. Metro could operate at 100% reliability, but it still wouldn't offer sufficient travel options for a large majority of the area because it doesn't fit the commuting patterns of the area. Short of extending lines and adding new ones, there's only so much the metro in it's current incarnation can do.

CDC has some information about HF gas but they don't tend to link it to battery fires. Not sure about any of the amounts but it's just not something you want to burn in a firepit I suppose.
There's nothing here to indicate which parts were relevant or mattered to Amazon's decision.

The critical words in the statement are not "We will not scan or read your Gmail messages"; they are "to show you ads."

In other words, they reserve the right to scan or read your Gmail for any purpose other than showing you ads. So they can still read your email for things like creating that purchases list, as well as a myriad of other tasks. As long as that task doesn't involve showing you an ad, your Gmail is wide open to them.

I wonder if OSMand could take advantage of having a few street numbers. Right now, in the "address search" mode, if the number you're looking for doesn't exist, you're out of luck. But theoretically it could accept any street number, and if a street even has a few numbers in place (I often find random street numbers probably entered by residents or shopowners) it could at least tell you "it's somewhere between here and there". Even that would be vastly more useful.

Then mapped crusaders like yourself could first focus on adding numbers in the middle of streets, and then gradually, in binary search fashion, continuing to halve unnumbered street sections.

> Find me ONE professional graphics designer who works 100% in GIMP and Inkscape

My partner does, as do a number of studios and collectives I know in Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris and Porto. They use of course way more tools than Gimp and Inkscape, but work on Linux and exclusively with Free and Open Source software.

For them I feel it’s both about the philosophy, the challenge, and discovering new ways of working. Trying to reproduce an Adobe way of working will always feel lacking. Yet working in a free software ecosystem will make you also discover new tools (Latex, Graphviz etc.) and new ways of working (a lot of people are experimenting with doing print layout with HTML for example).

Of course sometimes it is painful--preparing for print production and especially spot colours without Adobe Acrobat is difficult and requires a a collaborative process with your printer. But it also comes with the thrill of trying a different creative model and the exchange with a small but thriving community of people who are excited about these things.

EDIT: This is not to say that it would be a viable approach for everyone. It’s just to say that such designers do exist, and to try to make their motivations more clear!
Probably true if you can't remember how to write if/else or a for loop. But it's very useful for the bits of knowledge that you might not be needing all the time. Don't know how many tweets I've read from developers saying things like "I've been coding for ten years and I still have to Google this one particular thing". Those things are perfect for flash cards.

Example: I am almost never in need of grep. But sometimes I want to know which files in my project contain some string. Never could remember the right flags and order of arguments until I made it a flashcard--now I don't have to Google it anymore on those rare occasions when I need to know. Using flashcards for lots of little things like that really speeds up development; my cognitive switching costs are greatly diminished.
Making the flashcards on your own definitely helps with remembering things.

No foolishness. Such features intended to enhance handling of sensitive data when users' laziness, or lack of understanding is the problem - and it works well in this way. Malicious recipient can do anything, of course, but usually you don't send your secrets to people you don't trust at all.

The part that is relatively unique to JS is where extra arguments passed to a function are silently ignored. In most every other language, the function passed to map takes 1 argument, which is also the common case in JS. But JS always passes 3 arguments to that function. I don't think it's optional parameters that people find confusing, it's the interplay between optional parameters and functions whose interface depends on functions they accept as arguments ignoring extra arguments.

Its actually not clear what you'd get. So I set it up on a server, and it shows as Stratum 3. So that means Cloudflare's service is a Stratum 2. I'd much prefer if they were a 1 and the servers would get a 2, but I guess for free that's what you get.

The advantage for this is if you are running servers in production, this is easier to set up.

Its so bad that only the largest space rockets use liquid H2. All the others use kerosene or the like.

Either way, the Soviets tried gaseous fuels in the 80s - See Tu-155. They ran on liquid H2, CNG.

If I recall, the weight increase didn't make it practical. On the other hand it was a turbine powered plane. It might work out with fuel cells (although you'd need a big and heavy compressor to run it)
tl;dr: parseInt takes an optional second argument, the radix. It defaults to 10 (so the number is parsed in base 10). Since map() passes in each item in the array as the first argument, and the index as the second, you're parsing each string with the radix of whatever the index is.

Not too weird IMO.

Not really mentioned in the article. As someone who moved from NoVA to New York during the HQ2 search, these are my thoughts: New York's plan was more direct subsidies and tax breaks, less infrastructure and schools. Much more unpopular with the locals (who wouldn't benefit as much). And the locals let them know. Because Amazon made everyone operate under NDA they had no chance to build the public support that would be necessary to support such largesse.

> Deciding when a piece of information should not have been forwarded is the job of the workplace or law, not the e-mail client.

You seem to misunderstand who controls the workplace. Within limits, the employer has significant control which increases or decreases based on jurisdiction.

Yes, these measures could limit an individual, but there are generally options like just asking the sender to forward a copy of an agreement/contract so that an outside counsel can review it. Denying review of a contract is a good way to get it invalidated.

I guess harassers could use this feature of the system to try to protect themselves, but it won't stop someone taking a photo from their phone. Realistically most organizations don't want to be complicit in that - even if they tend to default to silence - and HR only exists to protect the company.
There’s probably not an existing technical solution to this problem. You either need to get GitLab to fix it, create some kind of interface, or rework your schedule to accommodate in person reviews.
Traveling with Pets? Know the Best Solutions
The linked article paints a slightly less heroic picture of someone who used a loophole in the ordinances to allow construction crews to jackhammer after 10PM in the residential areas and got away with it. So while families with small children were kept up in the long hours of the night, the loopholing hero was enjoying his quiet 9 hours of Zzzs.

All hypothetical of course, I am not from the area.

here's the paragraph describing the loophole:

"""
“The parking areas, all the travel areas…the pedestrian walkways…that’s all considered inside the station,” Kirst added, explaining what the noise waiver granted to Metro covers. Crews working in those areas aren’t allowed to perform “excavation, demolition, saw cutting, and jack hammering” between 10 pm-6 am on Sunday through Thursdays, and 10 pm-8 am on Friday and Saturday. Those restrictions don’t apply to the tracks outside the stations, however.

When I was doing my research before starting to hang drywall, I had difficulty determining a few things about the various techniques being advocated:

- Is the technique required for what I'd consider "normal" quality results? I.e., when I walk into most houses I just don't notice anything about the drywalling. I was shooting for that level of quality.

- How well would the technique stand up over time, given the particulars about my climate, house age, framing style, etc.? I saw lots of confident statements about how the longevity / reliability of various techniques, but not much evidence that people had actually verified these statements empirically. (I.e., I saw few statements of the form "I've used technique X in over 200 houses in Georgia, and after 10 years I've only been made aware of problems with 3 of the jobs."
The #1 criteria is DC.

The government is 25% of the economy, and it's just starting in the cloud.

The amount of money the US Gov. is going to spend on AWS will be jaw dropping.

It will trickle down into states, cities, and other governments like Canada.

And of course the deeply entrenched lobbying power.
Clive Robinson on Schneier's blog predicted lots of these problems after arguing they were a law of nature. He said any form of matter or energy connecting two machines might create a side channel. He said we'd have to clock all the inputs and outputs, make them predictable, and then "energy gap" the systems. We both already knew about CPU leaks since that was described as risky in 1990's. Sure enough, air-gap-jumping malware and processor leaks showed up.

Later, getting a high-level view of hardware reinforced it was a law of nature. First, there's all kinds of RF leaks that attackers might pick up from normal operation. Second, most systems aren't fault/leak-proof if attackers actively hit the system with different physical effects or RF. Finally, each process shrink increases how easily chips, including mitigations on them, break. It looked like the stuff at 28nm was kind of broken by design with fixes and stuff built in to delay failures user would notice.

This all sounds like the laws of physics are a huge obstacle to computers (a) working at all and (b) keeping secrets. Achieving (a) takes hundreds of millions to billions in R&D each year. I can only imaging what (b) might take.

It may be logical but:

- I know all that, have been programming for 15 years, yet I still would have done the mistake.

- Simple unit tests may very well not catch this bug the first time.

- The language design allows your brain to ignore the index parameter because JS accepts superfluous parameters, which is a terrible decision.

- map() is a mapping primitive. It's supposed to adapt a type to another type so that you can pass it to a monoid. JS breaks this convention.

- Even traditionally not functional languages know better than that and separate iteration from indexing. E.G: python map() just maps, and if you want numbering, you use explicitly enumerate(). Ruby has each() and each_with_index(), etc.

Just another of the numerous sucky things in JS. They are not big, but they accumulate very quickly and make it one of the worse language existing. Certainly the worst of all modern stack languages. It's a shame it has a monopoly on the most awesome platform in the world: the web.

In fact, it's such a big problem the most popular JS projects are all things to avoid coding in JS or workaround JS deficiencies: typescript, coffeescript, jsx, babel, webpack, lowdash ...

Why so few motors? Electric motors have low cost and low maintenance, so I would expect electrical planes to have many of them.

Overpowering the motor during the entire take-off would bring a high risk of having it fail too. But overpowering it to overcome the most common obstacles is perfectly viable in an emergency.

Anyway, about fires, they are a reasonably easy problem to deal with. Fires on liquid are much more dangerous than fires on solid, and batteries have a lower tendency of exploding and creating fumes than the gasoline that propels smaller planes. I imagine the largest problem of a fire would be on losing power. You can mitigate this by creating many independent battery banks, but this adds weight.
Programming is to software engineering as telescopes are to astronomy. It's one tool that you use, but is not the only tool you use. Planning what you're going to make is as important as making something; as you move higher up in your career development, you will realize that a few hours of talking can save months of work. It seems "productive" to spend months at a time programming, but if nobody uses what you produced, how productive is it really?
