It's time for humans to disappear from the world stage. The lack of self replication means that in the future more and more robots will be needed to care for the aging populations. Humans are already incapable of building robots without machines. The only value humans will provide is by giving them orders through programming them. General AI will never arrive but we will only ever need a million or two robotics developers the same way we only need a few million software developers.
Interesting, how is it better?
Many IR cameras have actually two cameras, a normal optical one with high resolution (~10^3 x 10^3), and the IR one (microbolometer) which is low resolution (~10^2 x 10^2). They ensemble the two pictures later and produce these results.

It is difficult for an average user to set up a proxy, and there is still a possibility to detect PC by analyzing unencrypted DNS queries to MS domains for telemetry servers.
Interestingly I find this personally to be almost completely untrue.

In particular.

When I am exercising I'm generally less likely to be bored and sitting around snacking and eating. Running, paddling, hiking, biking especially with friends take up a lot of time. Recently I haven't been excercising and so am sitting around (and yes, eating a lot more).

After exercising my appetite is different. I'm hungry in a different way (I tend to eat a bit healthier etc). So after a lot of exercise I don't want the bag of Doritos or highly processed junk food.

Being in shape helps tremendously with things like mobility. Even basic core strength. I've seen folks get VERY sedentary and then start eating a lot more because of mobility issues. I'm convinced in part this is because when you have mobility issues you don't have as many other things to do with your time.

I have worked outside in less developed countries for a few months at a time (ie, no desk work). I ate a relatively poor diet (lots of carbs etc) but boy was I in GREAT shape. The truth is, if you spend the day outside working with your body you WILL be fit. Again, you often don't snack as much as well, it's three meals and then if you are working there isn't usually much food that's easy to snack on.

Shouldn't we fix that by acknowledging that men can be the victims of abuse instead of forcing those in lower income areas to deal with the downsides of tourists?
N=2, agreed.

After even a medium-sized protein shake I don't even want to look at food, but if I skip the protein and mainly build it with fruits and such then I'm hungry much sooner all the while consuming the same (or more) volume of stuff.
Yes, this is a good point. Hiring "the best" is more like a multi-variable optimization problem. Pareto showed mathematically its very unlikely that there is a single "best", instead there is a population of non-dominated solutions that form the "Pareto frontier" which is a population of "less bad than other" choices. One variable in that might be gender. But again, forming a list of female engineers seems like its premature optimization on a single axis.

The best approach in these cases is as I said on another comment, take your top candidates, some are likely to be female and you can weight that dimension fittingly (e.g. we have no women, its slightly more important than having just any another C++ dev).
Stunts? A curiously personal attack. I was merely saying that this was the first time Blender did not run on any of the machines I happened to have lying around as it so admirably has done for years. I was not saying the change in requirements was wrong. And I will of course continue using 2.79 until the smoke comes out of my computer. I don't make a habit of throwing away otherwise functional computers, and if I was a dedicated enthusiast instead of a dabbler, yes I'd have sent dozens of computers and GPUs to landfill by now. To each their own.
I would be immensely happy even if it was just on interstates/major highways in clear weather. That's at least 80% of the worst and most mind-numbing driving right there. The rest I don't have a problem doing myself.
Faking emotions is much easier than faking rational thought. People interpret any behavior as emotion-based, even with obviously non-sentient objects.
Really that seems to be an obvious pretext in a way worrying to rule of law from how blatantly selective it is.

Literally every merchant large enough for store brands uses their own sales data to gain an advantage! They know they get a good deal of sales so they can reduce expenses by vertical intergrating commodities.

Mm... yes and no. Exercising will trigger EPOC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_post-exercise_oxygen_co... which will make you burn more than 700 calories overall.

But I agree with you, the calorie to volume/satisfaction of the fast food meal is a horrible deal.

As someone firmly on the "women in tech side", this is an awful method of attack. Gender should be a consideration but it should truly be (one of) the last one(s), way after skills, work history, personality, etc. Measures like this are dehumanizing and useless, and more importantly they provide fodder for actual sexists with which to undermine their female colleagues.

Affirmative action can work when it's considerate and sensitive and humane--which sounds like the polar opposite of everything you're trying to do here.
I'm a pretty strong supporter of free speech, but I don't see how it's relevant when you're talking about the speech of corporations.
For all the people arguing that healthy food can be cheap. Not really... My cousins on my mom's side grew up in a house hold of 3 generations, the house had one car, which was used for getting to and from work. Breakfast was walking to the corner store and buying a thing of donuts. None of them knew or could afford to cook. Things like cooking are more difficult if you are constantly having utilities turned off on you, don't have a car, etc.
The modern language standards (C++11/C11 and newer) explicitly take multicore machines into account, and the memory model was specifically designed knowing the capabilities of hardware.

The language standard says that the programmer is not permitted to write data races, even if they are benign. You either need to provide synchronization in the form of locks or explicit memory barriers, or you need to use special atomic variables whose semantics allow concurrent access without synchronization.

Without these rules (or something substantially similar), compilers would instead be forced to add sequentially-consistent memory barriers around every memory access they couldn't prove was only within a single thread (i.e., add it to every single memory access). The resulting performance would be completely unacceptable.
It's all still limited by the throughout of the phone though. You could just as well open 4 streaming apps on the phone and pull the same data.

To me, metering a "tethered" connection differently than the phone making the same requests is just as disgusting as an ISP charging you because you have a different number of computers connected to the internet on your residential connection. Or charging you more because you went to a streaming site. It's a blatant violation of net neutrality.

If a cell phone company can't fulfill their advertised service of x mbit down / y mbit up, they shouldn't be offering it. Anything else is false advertising.

As it currently stands, you can listen to podcasts on itunes online. If they decided to do "premium" content that the user would need to pay for, I would assume they would also make an android app, like they did with Apple Music.

Your right, requiring a device to access content would be bad, but seeing that Apple is trying to transition to a service based model, I don't think access will that much of an issue.
It is storing your passwords in plaintext locally, since this is about passwords that are saved by the user in Firefox's password store (the Saved Logins feature). These can (and should) be protected with a master password, but you obviously need to unlock the store before logging into a website.

They're not storing your passwords remotely, though. They're asking haveibeenpwned which maintains a list of leaked login information from past breaches.

The first amendment only covers political speech. The government can and does censor things like profanity and pornography (there’s a reason why you can’t say “fuck” on the radio). Advertising isn’t political speech and wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be protected. Considering that advertising is basically psychological manipulation to get you to buy products, especially products which directly prey on your lizard brain things like hunger, I see no reason not to censor junk food advertisements. It worked with cigarettes.
I think the real reason for this might be that clever hacks using current technology are looked on with disdain, whereas yesterday's hacks are seen as impressive ways of making the most of limited hardware and tooling.
There's an issue of accessibility in the tech industry caused by tradition that still is influencing people's life decisions. Changing outdated stereotypes is worth a celebration (skills are getting quite enough well-deserved attention)
How about automating traffic lights? This could ease traffic in urban areas and I don't hear anyone talking about it.

You are confusing the government with your employer.

Also, you would also be out of a job if all the tools you use as a programmer would have to be made by americans and not imported from cheap overseas labor.
I've never understood the "not full eating carbs" thing. This isn't the first time I've heard it either.

Myself ... I get full eating food. Carbs, protein, whatever it is. If I eat a lot of it, I'm full.

I guess what I find interesting and the point of my response is that there is clearly a difference from person to person in how their body produces the "full" feeling. Somehow in your case, a belly full of carbs, blocks (or inhibits) that full signal from firing?
Sometimes you just have to ask.

Tl:Dr - Weekly management meetings were held. Was not a part of them. Asked to be part of them and now am included and have a better understanding of the company's operations.

My company hired me to be an internal IT guy as they would outsource everything (which got to be expensive when people just need their excel worksheet restored they deleted or something easy like getting a printer installed).

Started small by learning the infrastructure, applications and how they do business and the workflow. Now one year later I'm in charge of the security systems, server maintenance, remote help and pretty much I'm acting CIO of this general contracting company. It's not a huge company but I have 4 servers and 100 computers to monitor/update and another 50 in the field to keep updated.

I work directly under the President and CEO and although I'm not a specialist by any means in one aspect I am a good generalist in terms of knowing all the software they use and means of the company only one year later.

Now they would hold weekly "management" meetings to discuss progress on the various jobs. Originally I was never invited to these as they didn't see why the IT guy needed to be involved.

After about a year I asked the CEO, "May I be included in the management meetings going forward so I can better assess the company's direction and help plan for future projects?"

Without hesitation he replied yes and I have been attending them ever sense. Although most of the meetings are about numbers, profit and how the various projects are running it helps to see the 'big picture' and where the company makes most of it's money, where it tends to lose money and my plan is to mitigate that impact with the use of technology and better on boarding in areas where technology can prove useful.

Long story short, ask and usually you will not be turned away from wanting to learn/grow yourself in a company.
You will be happy with the move, if you're coming from Chrome, most extensions/add-ons are available on Firefox so the transition was not tough for me. There are some things like getting used to the dev tools but that shouldn't be too bad :)
The reason that there is so long of a wait for people from India is because they aren't applying to other countries and working there.

There are many, many countries that the Indians could apply and get work, but instead they are focused on the US.

For example, Canada, Japan, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many, many other nations need programmers. One has to examine this obsession with the US when there are so many opportunities throughout the world to work as programmers.

The import of cheap Indian labor simply lowers the wages of American citizens and takes jobs away from American citizens.

There are so many countries throughout the world they could work including their own country of India.
That's a great deck, I love the presentation and aesthetic.
This is a better analogy, but still not quite right.

This issue constantly comes up with keeping the internet free and open. Take the following:

The customer pays for their connection, say 10mbps over Verizon's network. Under a free and open internet, the customer is allowed to use that 10mbps that they PAID for in whatever damn way they please.

Why should I be subject to Verizon's idea of what my connection should be used for? Congestion happens, but a properly designed network means that the pipes are mostly free and available under normal circumstances to all customers for all the bandwidth they paid for. Doesn't matter how many devices I use on the other side of that connection, I bought 10mbps and I should be able to use that 10mbps the way I want.

This is price gouging. Plain and simple.

”The easiest way to pick up a new language is to just build something in it.“

That’s an opinion. If you build something, chances are you only learn part of the language, and you also have to learn part of its libraries and build system. For some languages, you’ll also spend significant time setting up a programming environment.

I prefer learning languages by reading the language spec (many languages start out with a fairly loose one) or the ‘authoritative’ text from its creator(s). It has to be halfway decent for that to be good, but that frequently is the case.

(The Python language spec is only 160-ish pages, for example, 140-ish if you skip index)

Examples of texts that I found good when I read them, some over 10 years ago: Stroustrup’s books on C++, the C# spec, Apple’s “the Swift programming language”, Odersky’s book on Scala (the spec, IMHO, is not good for learning the language)

Note that these books vary widely in their level of detail. I don’t think that matters much.

I also think reading the docs of the entire standard library (not necessarily in full detail, depending on the level of detail in the text) is a better way to learn the library than googling around for answers. It gives you better answers, and, eventually, it takes you less time.

That's creating artificial scarcity.

Paying for usage sort of makes sense, but paying for a license to share with other people? That's outrageous.

Imagine if you had to pay an extra license on your water bills for sharing water with your guests..

The cultural industry from your first example has been unjustly profiting from artists and the public alike for decades.

Now ISPs need to apply this model to survive because we don't pay for bandwidth usage or for guaranteed bandwidth. We pay for a mirage of advertised 28Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s, or even 1Gbit/s nowadays.. the cost of which bandwidth is actually shared among many clients.

So it's specifically because of their own marketing lies that ISPs now need to find ways to restrict users from sharing their access. Good luck with that!

In the meantime, we'll keep on building our own self-organized non-profit ISPs (such as NYCMesh or guifi.net) to overthrow their rule.

> It would be great if we could replace the whole Internet with modern technology rather than relying on ancient systems like BGP and email

I've occasionally though of starting a long term project that could eventually do that assuming that politicians screw up things the way it looks like they going to do over the next few decades.

The idea is that a group of interested people would develop these new system with no requirement whatsoever to have backward compatibility or interoperability with the current systems.

Of course these new systems would not get widespread adoption. They'd probably only be used by the developers and a few others who are willing to essentially have two completely different systems in parallel: the new stuff for communications among themselves and the current stuff for everything else. That's fine. It means no pressure to compromise to get something out faster.

Lack of adoption is not a problem. That's where politicians come in. What we are counting on is that those idiots are going to manage to cause or fail to prevent some apocalyptic event(s) that will sufficiently destroy the current systems that when the survivors get around to rebuilding the Internet and communication infrastructure they are starting from a clean slate.
Hah, that's rich. Good luck avoiding google ads, recaptcha, or google analytics. Those aren't products we're direct users of, but they definitely aggregate our data. I guess you can avoid them by simply not going on any website.

recaptcha in particular is extremely vicious: you can't avoid it without giving up access to the website - even though that website isn't Google's property. With cloudflare forcing recaptcha if they don't like you, this effectively blocks an extremely large portion of the internet out.
Calories in, calories out.

Important note: calories are generally estimations... calorie counting apps even more so.... so if you're not careful your 3 strips of bacon (listed, 160 calories)) can easily be 250 calories.

The listed calories on many cooked foods are "average expectations" of that kind of product with "average cooking". Who defines average? No idea. But I advise people interested in loosing weight to research food labels and assume them as "ballpark" values. Failure to do so, on top of missing the extra tablespoon or 3 of coffee creamer can easily wipe out your 100-200 calorie deficit you planned.

Also, look at regulating your blood sugar (diets like keto help), or, if you like carbs, do smaller meals over the day -- this reduces the spikes in blood sugar that trigger hunger.
Check out the research on the life of a fat cell. Basically, fat cells live for years upon years; they shrink when they don't need to hold anything, but are always ready to take on new fat as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
I can't read the article, so only going off the headline, but how does the conjecture that self driving cars are far off jive with the fact that my understanding is they are already deployed in production in Phoenix, AZ? And are being used regularly in the bay area in testing?

Obviously it's incremental. I fully expect in the next 24 months I will be able to call an autonomous car via an app on my phone in the bay area under certain known conditions, like good weather and common, low-risk routes. Or, specifically, that I'll be able to direct my model 3 to drive me to the San Jose airport (a 10 minute drive) without the need for me to actually take any manual interventions along the way. (Though I will still be asked, by Tesla, to be ready to take control.) If true, that's progress, and I expect the progress to continue until eventually this technology is widespread and covers the vast majority of routes and conditions.
> It’s not like people going to switch to Goggle’s competition

I started using Bing more than 6 months ago and haven’t switched back. I don’t think Bing is better, but it isn’t much worse.
Last year I called T-Mobile for some relatively minor reason and then got into a conversation about this "upgrade" I could get that would knock my bill down $20 a month, provide option X, Y and Z.

It sounded too good to be true so I just kept asking if I'd lose anything. I was assured, no, it's all benefit.

In the past if I had an internet outage at home I'd switch to to tethered phone and have no drop in speed. In fact, it was faster than work or home.

I recently moved and while waiting for internet installation suddenly found my tethered rate went down to .25/mpbs, whereas in the past it was up around 40mbps up and down. My phone itself reached these speeds via LTE. It became immediately apparent what I'd signed up for in my "upgrade" the year prior. I had been on some grandfathered plan that had no such restriction, and by "upgrading" sacrificed my ability to tether without moving to a One Plus plan.

Of course in the heat of all of this I asked myself that same question: "how does T-Mobile know?" Some of the suggestions here seem unlikely since I'm still able to get good speeds via the phone simultaneously while limited via computer. The MAC address thing seems compelling but I'm obviously not going to go around spoofing anything just because I got duped by my provider.

I've been a T-Mobile customer forever, but that kind of deception was really, really insulting.
Secure code can absolutely be correct and be optimised in a way that reduces its security.

For example, to prevent timing attacks positive and negative code paths should take the same amount of time. An optimising compiler could decide that the operations in the negative code path are irrevelant, which in terms of the actual work its doing is true, and remove them. Except now it has reintroduced the timing attack.
