> I imagine the SpaceX guidance/control software was written in a way that less resembles bridge-building/Apollo 11 lunar landers and more like the organic processes we see elsewhere in the software industry.

For the guidance/control systems, I bet you're wrong.
This feels like hyperbole. Instead of saying you are wrong objectively, I’ll say instead that my subjective experience of “the city” is in stark contrast to this. Green spaces and the ocean abound. My neighbors are wonderful people. The businesses around me are owned and operated by local people. I can’t walk down the block without running into good folks with smiles on their faces. I try to bring the same energy to my neighborhood. I couldn’t imagine not living here.

I think the city and the country and everywhere in between can be a wonderful or terrible place, but I would hesitate to say that any one place is right or wrong for any one person.
> Aren't A/B tests super short-term and specific to single advertisers?

They don't have to be short term. I currently have an A/B test I'm watching that I've been running for over a year, and other people I work with have some that have been running even longer. The reason to run a test long term, though, is either (a) you think the world might change such that your results won't remain valid or (b) you think a short-term measurement isn't a good estimate because of user learning. I'm not sure why you think a short-term measurement would be a problem in this case: a short experiment where an advertiser switched from personalized to pure contextual ads would lose a lot of money, and I don't see why you would expect that amount of money to decrease over time.

> In the end the money in the system is limited, and if one competitor achieves a high level of revenue via A/B testing, someone else probably loses that amount of money.

It's not zero sum, not at all! Let's say you sell board games. You advertise on board game review sites, but there's not that much traffic there because most people who buy board games spend most of their time on unrelated sites. If you figure out a new way to identify people likely to buy games and start advertising to just them you bid up the cost of advertising to those users, and displace, say, low-value belly fat ads. What happens? You start bringing in a lot more money, because you're selling more games. Some of that money goes to the sites you're advertising on, which now make more money because someone has figured out how to better advertise to their audience. And the belly fat advertiser makes less money, because the pool of ad space no one wants for anything has dropped slightly. But the amount of money they're losing is much less than the amount you and the site owners are gaining, because people are buying more board games.

> I wonder whether Ad-tech has seen a reduction in revenue after Apple introduced Intelligent Tracking Protection, as these users can not be tracked via cookies. This source claims there was no significant dip for Criteo for example.

I would guess Criteo isn't losing money because they've switched to tracking users via other means. They were caught [1] using HSTS supercookies, which led browser makers to remove HSTS as a tracking vector [2], and I suspect they've moved on to other methods. But (a) it's hard to tell externally since so much fingerprinting can be done passively and (b) I work for a Criteo competitor so I'm probably biased to think poorly of them.

> If you’re expecting some really smart solution to this problem, I’m sorry to disappoint but my solution is the most un-smart of all. Each piece that needed to move was in its own grid, and all the grids were stacked on top of each other with positioning.

Yeah, definitely a weird and complicated way to solve the problem. Much simpler to just use absolute positions for the pieces and a grid or background image for the board.
Sleep is a very technical thing, it's a 'Brain maintenance time'. It's not about saving energy or anything that could/should be bypassed (otherwise we'd be tired awake at night, useful for defending against predators in the wilderness -- nature accepts a great cost for this shutdown). I find my memory improved significantly once I started being more careful with my sleep, for instance. I wish I had come into contact with this instead of the bragging 'I barely need any sleep!' culture.

The company I worked at was a clusterfuck, to put it mildly. It was going to shut down (this is not public knowledge, and very few of the employees are aware of this) before SoftBank injected a stupid amount of capital into it. I fully understand VC portfolios are about the aggregate, but I do not see how a competent firm could possibly see that as anything other than a waste of money.
This article is FUD, and click bait, when the real people violating the rights to your photographs are probably hiding in government buildings, and they will use these photos against you... because you thought the threat was a Russian startup or Zuck.

The media should stop pretending they're lawyers. IANAL either but I was a pro photographer and I know there can be no FaceApp nor Facebook without you granting them rights to use your photos. If you refuse to grant them the right to use your photos: you get no FaceApp or Facebook because you'll sue them if they do whatever with your photos (which is normal). No right to publish your photos? they can't post it to Facebook without you giving them the right to it. No perpetual rights? you could sue them after 2 years for using your photos all that time, because they're still on Facebook.

Of course they need you to give them these rights. And no, they won't do bad things with your photos. Despite "owning" billions of photos, Facebook is still selling ads, not your photos.
With higher resolution sensors, small imperfections are more visible. To extract the most from a high-megapixel camera, you need spot-on focusing, a higher quality (more expensive) lens, and more care (e.g. higher shutter speed or tripod) to avoid camera shake during exposure.

If you nail all these, I wouldn't call it crappy even at 1:1.

But there is a residual imperfection from the Bayer pattern on the sensor, since each pixel records only one color (R, G, or B) and the other two values for that pixel have to be guesstimated from neighboring pixels, so the de-bayering process isn't perfect.

One way to fix it is to use a monochrome sensor and color filters, taking 3-4 exposures (luminance/mono plus R/G/B) and stack them.

A few cameras on the market have a pixel shift feature that can do something similar - multiple exposures, shifting the sensor one pixel between exposures so each pixel get a true R/G/B sample, and stack them in camera or in post.

Edit: Forgot to mention the anti-aliasing filter. It sits in front of the sensor and deliberately blurs the image at the pixel level. This is done to avoid aliasing and moiré artifacts, but obviously has the side effect of not-so-great image quality at the pixel peeping level. The fix for this is to get a camera without an AA filter, many modern high-resolution cameras don't have them.

I denied FaceApp access to my photo library and all apps are denied access to “Background refresh”. I didn’t post pictures directly to any social media. So exactly what does FaceApp have access to besides a few selfies? I was more interested in seeing how good the machine learning was than anything else. It was pretty good, it recognized different angles, it didn’t try to put glasses on my face when I was already wearing glasses and didn’t try to add a beard when it saw I had one.

This is from 2014, but it's equally relevant today. I'm unsure if I agree with the premise. Today is very unlike 18th century France. We have television and cheap food. It seems unlikely that inequality will become so bad that pitchforks become the only option for large swaths of society.

The point about about a thriving middle class being able wealthy enough to afford consumer products, which then drives business to grow, is spot on. We need growing wages and a healthy middle class to maintain America's standing in the world. It is perplexing that plutocrats or even average Americans wouldn't want it -- we should all value our country's future.

What choice did they have? Birth control wasn't widely available until the 60s.
I've talked to many international students in the US pursuing a Master's degree. Most of the time their only motivation is to increase their chances of getting approved for an H-1B, or having more time for a STEM OPT. People who really like graduate school tend to do a PhD.

Ok, this is just bad logic. Setting aside the actual figures. If "most women" are waiting until late in their life to have kids, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd wife you marry, regardless of your age, is waiting until later in life to have kids.
It's a problem for women over 30. If men merely have to delay reproduction by 40 years to their 70s you can quite easily kick the can down the road for the next generation to deal with. Given how much worse each next generation is doing this may well seem like a great deal in 2060 to the women who are born in 10 years time.

Why didn't Mozilla continue leading the project?

(If you happen to know)

Here's a blog post about the change: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/01/22/the-coral-project-i...

It writes: "After 3.5 years at Mozilla, the time is right for Coral software to move further into the journalism space, and grow with the support of an organization grounded in that industry", and "... The Coral Project will receive the backing of a large company ...". — However, Vox could back the project, also if it was still led my Mozilla, right. Still unclear to me why Mozilla didn't want to continue leading the project? Maybe Talk was too different from other things Mozilla does, and maybe it cost money and didn't bring any revenue?

How does this work technically?

I understand that by making people install the government cert, any website with a cert signed by that government cert will happily speak TLS.

But, how can they read data transmitted between websites they don't control? When the client asks for Facebook's cert, wouldn't the government have to sneak in and show a fake cert signed by them instead? How does that work?
I don't think that's necessary. The 'friendly' language could have a write(file, data) command implemented at a lower level in an 'unfriendly' language as:

// try, catch, error handling, etc.
// omitted for clarity
friendly_write(file,data) {
open(file)
write(file, data)
close(file)
}

It would be an engineering tradeoff of code brevity for possibly lower IO performance. Sometimes it might be worth it. Other's it might not. Java's design reflects the engineering opinion in favor of finer grained control. This is consistent with it's heritage in the line of Algol inspired languages.
This is what it always boils down to. Right and wrong is irrelevant. Those with the biggest guns win.
Most women today yes. Most women in 30 years? Depends on a lot of factors. Given how poor genz is at 20 to the next generation the stability of living in a one family house vs working a minimum wage clerical job could well be worth giving up the idea of a career.
I think HTML is bad. I think DOM based development is bad. I really feel that Desktop UI development is much more mature and has much less legacy to compete with when developing a web UI.

I think the very near future will be web assembly code that paints a canvas. Mature desktop methods with GUI design tools will be ported to web assembler and retrofit for the web. QT5, imgui, are just the beginning.

I think a good exercise would be to open the Full Stack React book again and port the first few running examples to a Qt Quick Controls application and then target webassembler. I am willing to wager that anyone who gives it a real shot will be impressed at the productivity gains -- which generally stem from QML's expressiveness and not having to deal with React's over-complicated design. Not to mention, you'll not waste time because some component you made behaves differently across browsers. You'll also notice a complete lack of the dogma that tends accompany modern JS frameworks and libraries.

It also feels good to know that your UI may be a bit more performant that DOM based UI's.
In light of recent crypto legislation in Australia I find it surprising that when the idea of a flight recorder was first suggested, it found such resistance in Australia... 70 years since then is a long time however!
Not really - and that's why I like it. I like JSX too.
The difference is that in the cljs version you are writing clojure at all times using clojure data structures and types (vector, map, keyword, string) which lets you manipulate and generate things easily, and, you don't have to jump between "jsx" mode and "JS" mode.
Yesterday is the time. I keep seeing these 'we must do X here first' posts and they are all built on the same bad lines of thinking. We are never going to solve our problems here on earth sufficiently, that's just how the human condition works. That said as we find new challenges we are great at creating solutions. Trying to say space is a waste of resources is silly, when space is filled with them, and you dont have to worry about many kind of pollution in space. Millions of metric tons of heavy metals that require huge amounts of ecological damage to mine on earth could be refined in space and dropped on earth for example.

Suburban playgrounds are way better than urban ones and the rest of your examples require a lot of money. I'm biased because I grew up in the suburbs, but playing sports outside for free like I did as a kid sounds much better than having to get job because the only thing you can do in the city outside of your house is pay for "culture" at "coffeeshops, more live music, more social clubs, more classes, more museums".
Hi, I'm one of the authors. CraftAssist communicates with the Minecraft server via an implementation of the Minecraft protocol available at [1]. This is compiled into a pybind module which is imported by (python) agent code. You should be able to write a network client for Minetest that provides the same python interface (e.g. functions to move, place blocks, and fetch cuboids of blocks from the environment) and import this instead, while still making use of the pure python modules built on top (e.g. the semantic parser, the Tasks, and the memory system).

It's Apache 2. You can use it for anything though we do road-map against our own uses of course (mostly Kibana). There's nothing specifically tied to ES in it.

Imagine being a designer at a place like Netflix. Your product is among the most ubiquitous in the world - if there's a device with any kind of screen, Netflix has an app for it.

Now imagine developing a skillset, as a designer, that totally locks you into one platform (the web in this case). It makes absolutely no sense. I don't care how "easy" React makes things, or how "easy" layout now is with CSS Grid. It takes serious time and effort to develop these skills.

So I ask myself, why would a designer do this? It's one thing to have domain-specific knowledge (iOS design is _very_ different from web, for example). It's another to have implementation-specific knowledge, which IMO a designer really doesn't need.

This is great and all for Netflix's web designers, but what about iOS, Android, Apple TV, Playstation, Xbox, Roku, etc etc etc?

Depends on your definition of embedded.
I'm not trying to criticise your decision (I think it's up to you to choose the best path that's good for you), but moderation policies seem like the ideal thing to have under an AGPL license. It would certainly allow users to know exactly what's going on rather than speculate (sometime vociferously and accusatively). Obviously the downside is that being able to look at the source may allow them to game the system (and maybe it's not great for spam detection). However, even that might be turned into an advantage in that if gaming the system forces them into better ways of communicating then it's fine.

From a commercial perspective, I think you would be better off with the AGPL as well (perhaps dual licensing). I don't think you'd be able to sell such software on a per-license basis anyway (or, at least you'd not make much money at it as the audience is pretty limited). I think you'd be much better off positioning yourself as an expert in the area and selling contract services for other (perhaps proprietary) systems. Cheaper to hire you than to implement it themselves while tip-toeing around your implementation which they can't infringe.
