> Yes, because knowledge isn't SEO-optimized by default.

Isn't it? I thought Google was trying to optimize their search engine for finding useful information, so if someone were to make an honest website that just tries to provide useful information (anachronistic as that may seem) wouldn't they hypothetically have the full manpower of Google's search team optimizing for finding it?
It's hard for me top put into words fully but I'll attempt. Also it's not just web development in particular but really any sort of user facing / LOB / etc. application (I've done a little mobile and desktop dev as well)

For starters I haven't felt challenged by anything in years. I understand this could easily be more of the jobs I'm working, but for a while now it's seemed that the solution to almost anything is "grab x dependency and plug it in" or becomes related to hardware more than anything. It feels like majority of the fun / interesting problems have been solved and I'm just gluing them together with business logic, and the times I do end up diving into debugging what I think is an interesting problem, it was just me doing something stupid.

it also feels like all the tech is the same. Look at the job listings for any city outside the West Coast or Northeast and all the jobs are Java, .NET, maybe PHP or Node.js and likely several versions behind. I don't personally mind C# (what i currently work with), but it just kinda gets dull quick.

Finally, I guess there are just things I'm interested more. Particularly low level stuff (played around with 6502 programming and design probably around five years ago, and more recently have played with / theorized integrating vintage hardware with modern OS's for fun),etc.

Maybe the fact is that I don't fully understand that stuff, so it intrigues me more and when I finally feel knowledgeable, it will quickly lose interest, but even if I go back to doing web applications or something similar in the end, it's nice to try other things while I'm young.
Calling out fraudsters also gets you attacked and harassed and there is essentially nothing you can do to stop it.
Graham disparages it as not being useful to "good programmers", but it seems like being able to build by accretion is useful to everyone. It means (ideally) you can build things in any order and the result would be the same. That flexibility seems pretty valuable. Painting yourself into a corner and having to do a redesign (or worse, a rewrite) isn't a good thing.

Being able to build by accretion means you get a thriving community of library maintainers with lots of packages available, and hopefully less churn.
and be replaced by a bunch of other problems instead. E.g. no publishing of existing repos on Github if they happen to contain a commit with a non-linked address...
It is better called "ability". And "luck" is better called "recognizing an opportunity".

If you're unable to utilize an opportunity, which takes skill, or are unable to recognize an opportunity, which also takes skill, you're out of luck.
This is really a bad comparison. The Pros for React are the virtual DOM? That's the same what Vue is doing. In fact Vue is more entry level friendly and the reason is that it can be plugged similar as jQuery could be back in the days, while React wants you to dig deeper into the infrastructure, with a development setup and JSX. That wasn't even mentioned in the article
Watching the videos it looks like they only use a standard spade to break up the dirt and then slide the tree into place.

Is there no specialized tools that would allow that without bending over?
Love the idea!

Would be cool if you supported left and right arrow keys to quick navigate to next / prev article

And because there's not that much content you could probably preload it
Makes it trivial to remove any build dependencies afterward, and the instructions/script are the same no matter your distro (delete the VM). Also, only one script or set of instructions needed to install the deps to begin with, if a VM's used and it's always the same distro & version.

Personally, unless I'm running Gentoo I don't like all that crap hanging around my system packages, and this is simpler than learning the best way to deal with it on whatever distro & package manager one happens to compile on, especially if you don't compile from source very often.

> We are lucky that they decided to vandalize instead of hiding something.

We do NOT know this.
I have worked remote for a lot of years. Tools will differ based on employer and on what you are doing mainly.

Slack is the norm for communication and JIRA is common for project planning, defect management etc. But to me the tools are secondary to the environment you try to setup for yourself.

I feel strongly you need to have a place where you can isolate yourself from distractions if you work out of your house. So whether it is you setup a corner of a room or dedicate a whole room it doesn't matter but you have to remove things you know will distract you. For me, I have family and people around the house 90% of the time, so I have a dedicated office, that is setup as an office would be at work. This helps me separate work from home, and lets me close a door if I need to for noise or just privacy etc.

I also will from time to time go to a co-working space or just head to Panera Bread or someplace similar. I do that just cause it is nice to be in a different space sometimes and honestly can help kickstart me when I get stuck or distracted.

As for my office too, I have an electric standup desk and I have a tall office chair to go with it so I can stand, sit and play with the height of either. I also built a workstation on one wall for dedicated tasks because I also do some hardware work, so I have a place to solder, a place for my oscilloscope, power supplies and parts storage etc. Just lets me stay organized and focused.
Yes this seems right and this won't be last automotive executive who makes this mistake.
Is it really easy market? I thought about running a VPN service, but how do I deal with abuses? People would use VPN for all kinds of things including bad ones. And investigators will come at me.
> Sean explained the setup: it was an autopilot he had built using a windshield wiper motor, gyroscope, television remote, and a Raspberry Pi – a palm sized computer costing less than $40.

Correction: from watching his videos, it looks like he's using a Raspberry Pi Zero, which costs $5, or $10 if you need Wifi.

This is damn impressive. I've always wondered what it would be like to live on a sailboat, and this guy has actually gone and done it successfully without dying.

Personally, I'd opt for a bigger boat though...
I have to disagree on all points. If you leave it on, you don't have to worry about its speed because it's always up-to-date. The first backup may be slow but you shouldn't be waiting until an emergency to do that anyways. I have also had 0 issues backing it up to my Synology. I literally enabled Time Machine on the Synology, enabled it on the Mac, and I've never had to worry about it again.
Right, DotA was a mod no one asked for.

Portal was actually a similar thing. It started as a student game called Narbacular Drop. Valve hired that team, who turned the concept into Portal.

Likewise they hired Icefrog from DotA to work on DotA 2.

That's a good strategy.
> Some of the people who hated those weasels decided that Craig Wright must be great since he says he is against the same people. Instead of everyone rolling their eyes and fighting an OBVIOUS con man interested in VC funding and patents some people thought everyone calling him a con man must be on the 'other side'.

That's an interesting summary of the situation, with parallels again to our current political situation.
The problem is handling failures. We could do automatic landings back when the British introduced Autoland, and in fact any serious autonomous landing will use ILS as the backbone. The problem is that we barely got to the point where an autonomous plane was capable of reasoning enough to do a go-around, but I have zero belief that it would handle failures in other ways than "crash in unoccupied terrain" (if there's any).
The situation with the 737 MAX has shown the FAAs independence to be suspect.
But sometimes you want to go shopping with the family to shops that you normally don't/can't visit. Everything that's within 15 minutes walking distance isn't going to be those shops. Regardless how you design a city, most shops even in a small city are going to be outside of that 15 minute walking distance too. The main problem I think is that there isn't always somewhere to put your bike safely when you go into the shops.
And what do you expect to see when you look at the morass of tracking and advertisers?

> It always stuns me how relatively few people are able to spot frauds (although it explains a lot about our current political situation). I'm guessing 40-50% of the population is susceptible to this kind of trickery.

It seems very likely to me that frauds and those who can detect them are locked in an evolutionary arms race. If that is the case, it would have to be true that there is a substantial number of people who can't detect frauds.
Have just run this test and it does appear to confuse some USB-C ports (my phone and 3.0 usb-C port on my laptop detect the pi gadget however the 3.1 usb-C port doesn't detect the gadget if the pi is powered by gpio).

This is a feature, not a bug.

Healthy communities are comprised of people who are trusting and permissive by default. The cost is that on occasion these communities will be exploited.

Personally I think it's a very low price to pay for all its benefits.
Good question. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. It seems like existing client-side options don't cover these 3 uses that a third-party service might:

1. A recipient-specific "Do Not Track" option could apply to recipient-specific link/click tracking, not just open tracking.

2. Ideally, all email clients would have an option not to load images by default, but based on the comments in this thread, some don't. One popular example seems to be [Gmail for iOS](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/145919?co=GENIE.Platf...): "Images will always appear in the Gmail app on your iPhone or iPad."

A third-party service could give some control to users of clients without this feature. (Whether the responsibility belongs on the sender, the recipient, or both is totally debatable and in practice, not very relevant. For all stakeholders, the goal is to communicate in a way that satisfies all parties well enough to keep communicating. Recipients have been at a disadvantage due to lack of information, and as their awareness increases, their expectations will rise.)

3. Right now, there's no way for companies which actually care about privacy and/or recipient preferences to stand out from those which don't, or which don't yet claim to. This would be one of few ways to discern white/light grey-hat senders and mail delivery services from dark grey/black-hat ones.
If they were so advanced, presumably they would go to the trouble of learning to communicate with us before they arrived or announced themselves. If this were the case, we should probably just listen as we're at a fairly significant disadvantage and we have more to gain from them than them from us. In that case, I'd probably send the Aga Khan, Dalai Lama, a Pope and other religious leaders because they deal with this specific existential problem in a fairly in-depth way, and and billions of people will credibly listen to them.

However, if the aliens just YOLO'd it and showed up, this sounds completely insane, but I'd send the head rider of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna or the Cadre Noir of France, as an advisor/translator because they have spent their entire lives cultivating the ability to listen, empathize, and develop sophisticated communications and relationships with beings that are non-human and completely alien to us, while also necessarily embodying human leadership characteristics people develop, and are therefore probably the only humans trustworthy to represent us to an alien species.

Nuts, but we're way past nuts if this happened.
I don't even expect people to call out fraudsters. But I do wish they would quit promoting them, or minimizing how much they are indeed fraudsters ("well, maybe he's not been totally honest about that, but what about...").
Heatwave is an old news in Europe. Its cold July now, after hot June.

> Rotenburg (Wümme) in Lower Saxony recorded a record low July temperature of 2.9C on early Thursday morning, according to Wetter.com, breaking a station record which had stood since 1946.

The record low came only four days after Germany logged a record high June temperature of of 39.6C in Bernburg an der Saale in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday.

There is a huge fundamental difference - you can't stop on the curb and send SOS when something breaks.

There's no margin for error.
Yes that's the problem with electrics, even when they try to make them unappealing people still love them.
It’s just survivorship, without the bias. I’m pointing out that I was lucky, not concluding that my odds were any better than they were or better than anyone else’s. I literally said it could have gone bad, I’m aware childhood mortality rates were higher in the past.
I also didn't like it, the title calls him a physicist and in the article it says mathematician, they did an experiment with 500 samples and got how many 9s, the presumption that Newton was the greatest scientist (von Neumann?), the comparison between such theoretical luminaries and someone who did a numerical optimisation of someone else's theoretical work, ... it reminds me of A Beautiful Mind, where the real accomplishments are obscured (and here greatly exaggerated) purely to tell a story to lay-people. More attention to the facts please, less attention to the sandwich.
Not all 5g spectrum is shorter wavelength. Opening up the >6GHz range is part of 5G, but it also includes improvements to utilization and additional bands in the existing sub-6GHz range.
Well, sure... but doesn't increasing the RAM clock increase the throughput as well?

What I'm asking is, is there a good way to test the effects of just memory latency?
12 nines? Yawn. Let me know when they get to 15. j/k

That's some serious precision. I wonder if this would have been possible to calculate on a Pentium?[0] After last week, cloud service providers would be happy for 3 nines.

That is obviously not true because of two things:

This has been a problem with AMD for as long as I can remember. I remember about 10 years ago when AMD made a strong push against Intel and they traded memory latency for larger LL cache sizes and a directory based cache architecture where the better utilization was supposed to make up for the smaller L1/2 sizes.

Didn't work. Intel smoked them, especially on server workloads that were cache optimized. I wonder if the same things is going to repeat itself?

I haven't build a desktop in almost a decade, so I was thinking of it when the top shelf ryzen chips hit the market. I don't play any games, but would use it for server dev and basic ML work.
It's annoying to have people twist words around, and this isn't the first time you've done this to me on this same subject. There is plenty of public information to be concerned, not least of which are all the dead people. There are no public facts that demonstrate the 737 MAX failed to meet any requirement of FAR 25 without the aid of a computer.

The article you cite doesn't even mention FAR 25. The strongest statement it makes is this:
“to address potentially unacceptable nose-up pitching moment at high angles of attack at high airspeeds,”

For my purposes, that whole statement is rendered useless bullshit by the word "potentially". It's like saying "maybe, maybe not, who is to say?"

That statement in the article implicates the 737 MAX as not conforming specifically with FAR 25.173(c), but does not come right out and say that. Further, no source has said, one way or another, that the FAA permits computers as an aid to certifying airworthiness for designs that without computers would not be certified under FAR 25.

There is not enough public information to decertify the plane. Realize exactly what you're really saying: the airplane should not have been certified airworthy to begin with. You can't really decertify it without, in effect, saying malfeasance has happened. It isn't merely that MCAS wasn't good enough. It's that it should never have been considered appropriate to use software to paper over aerodynamic problems in the first place.

Am I suspicious that's what has happened? Yes. But is my suspicion evidence or a relevant fact that demonstrates it has happened? No. And all we have with articles thus far is speculation and suspicion. Where are the facts that prove this?
I do not understand why everybody is hating the guy so much. Listen to what he sais. He does not want Bitcoin to be used for buying drugs and child pornography. He wants to use it to make companies more accountable towards their users and governments more accountable towards their constituents. What's so terrible about that?

Then there is his claim to be Satoshi. At this point, nobody knows if that is true or not. Yet everybody is acting as if they _knew_ he is a liar and a fraud. That seems to be the justification for hate. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

My take is: I do not know if he is Satoshi or not. I also do not care. I listen to want he thinks about Bitcoin and I like what I hear.
It's also possible that the organizers of the conference know (or suspect) that he's a fraud, but invite him anyway because they know the controversy will generate buzz and attention around their conference, increasing its attendance.

It's entirely possible to find a happy medium. You can be trusting without being totally naive about individuals with bad intentions.

It's pretty clear that most people saying "we don't need 5g" or "we have better things to do" are completely wrong. The implications of losing the 5G race are enormous, from economic to national security. To the point where some are calling for a "Manhattan project" for wireless.

Based on the comments I've seen here, the public is completely misinformed and ignorant of the stakes.

If you seriously think that Malcolm Gladwell, who writes for the New Yorker, is right of center, much less the far right of center that "reactionary" means, then your idea of where the political center is, does not match with reality.

Whether you think he is correct on a given topic is debatable, of course, but where he is on the political spectrum relative to the rest of the nation, is objectively determinable, and it is left of center.
