Honest question, when you say "sibling", do you mean an identical twin? Because if yes, then fingerprint sensor won't save you from that either.

After googling for a bit, I think I found what you have been referencing. Turns out, FaceID learns as it goes, even from non-successful attempts. So if every time your non-identical-twin sister tries to unlock your phone using FaceID, fails, and then you immediately unlock it for her with your face or password, then the system will slowly over time learn to recognize her face as well. This makes sense to me.
I agree with the GP that it seems weird, and with you that it has its benefits. Of course, other approaches have their own benefits.

Personally, I feel like the top-level directory ordering for a monorepo is somewhat arbitrary, in that you can argue for anything, but it probably doesn’t matter; especially if you have a decent build tool.
Apple will never get the same P/E love, because they only make like 4 things (Mac, iPhone, iPad, services).

Everyone loves to hate on Apple on multiple fronts (elitist, expensive, over the hill), whereas the hate on Amazon is really about one thing.. that ol "makes no profit" canard.

CLARIFICATION: I’m talking perception, not my beliefs. Uber’s a scam, as far as I can tell, but they will either pull off a miracle or be the biggest Groupon of all time. And Snap isn’t very good at being a public company.

It never was true. The army played a bigger role in the Pacific than the Marines and pulled off D-Day.
If you’re talking about the YouTube video, I don’t think they captured the glitch from A to B, just the unfiltered capture.
I can give you a real answer. If you use go's image and color interfaces then boxing can stress the allocator if you process pixel by pixel.

But assuming you represent and process your image as a packed slice of rgba or something, the gc wont be in your way at all.

A dozen submarines would be an enormous group: China and Russia each only have about a dozen nuclear attack submarines, and non-nuclear submarines don't have the undersea range to get close to a carrier battle group undetected. It would be a huge gamble to throw them all in one attack.

The other problem is that the submarines would have no way to communicate without giving away their position. It would be very difficult to execute any sort of coordinated operation.
I'm glad someone posted this again, since a couple weeks ago I was trying to remember exactly how it worked! (Not for any particular purpose, but I had just remembered it being a nice design for a combinatorial feedback loop.)

>Important journalism isn't free.

Isn't it? It seems that most journalism these days consists of taking things from a news agency feed and polluting them with garbage opinions. Might as well read the source.
In contemporary society you are usually quite the outcast when you say you don't do social media. You have the choice between being an outcast and being spied upon. Similarly for government spying in messenger apps: if you are an outcast who doesn't buy a smartphone or computer you are not affected.
Perhaps because so many Americans are financially insecure, and long-term health, happiness, and social concerns take a backseat to simply surviving the next month?
If you target modern browsers only, and if you're building non-web facing apps, you should be able to... you can absolutely use this stuff today.

Right now, for example, the apps I'm working on require at least async/await support as a minimum test.

> There has only ever been one goal that has actually driven us to push our horizons further out into space, and I think it's the only one that really makes sense: We do it for the challenge and for the adventure.

Individuals may think like that, but I think you're downplaying the Space Race. There was immense fear of the Soviet space domination, it was seen as an existential threat. If there could be only one goal driving us to those furthest horizons, it'd have to be conflict.

From the same speech as your quote:

"For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding:

JFK to Congress

"If we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all, as did the Sputnik in 1957, the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere, who are attempting to make a determination of which road they should take. . . . Now it is time to take longer strides—time for a great new American enterprise—time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on Earth"
Oh I know. I’ve deliberately chosen to follow the new default. I’m one of those people who avoids customisation because I often have to work with students and remote machines.
Reminds me of "A Commodore 64 Is Still Being Used to Run an Auto Shop in Poland (gizmodo.com)"[1] though I was not able to afford such a luxury when I was young.

It is a LONG standing dominant philosophy in US business that "morale" is pretty much the last thing to be concerned with. Someone not working well? Get rid of them and replace them with someone better. This has been going on for generations, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's taught all day long, every day, in every business school in the nation.
> On top of that subs can also launch missiles not just torpedo’s.

From the blog post:

"Or can they avoid this by using missiles? Unfortunately, this is not likely to be a healthy choice. At best, an SSN might be able to fire 18 missiles in a single salvo. Even with the benefit of popping up close to the target (which requires going through a lot of those same defenses they’re trying to avoid), this is unlikely to be enough. Launching missiles is extremely noisy, and Aegis is set up to take cues from sonar. The missiles will likely be shot down, and the patch of sea the submarine launched from is not going to be a safe place."

Decades.

The JSF (F-35) program began in 1993, the first flight was in 2000, the first time in combat was in 2018, and they're currently shaking out production bugs on the few hundred which have been built. They're slated to be operational until 2070.

We catch lots of stupid bad guys.

Smart bad guys get away with it.
Why, this makes sense.

In every industry, there are employees whose influence on the company success is outsized, and who are hard to hire or train. In software industry, they are experienced engineers and product managers. In a fashionable restaurant, they are experienced cooks. In an airforce, they are experienced pilots and repairmen. Etc.

When these people are happy with their work, they achieve great results. When they are unhappy, they look for ways to conveniently jump ship, because they have a number of opportunities elsewhere waiting for them to become available. They are in short supply. Every boss has an incentive to keep these people content and loyal.

OTOH every industry has positions for which supply is plentiful, compared to demand. Aspiring game developers without experience, dish washers, burger flippers, etc, can be readily hired, paid little, and easily fired, too. There is no incentive for their bosses to walk an extra mile to keep them happ, especially when pressing them a bit more yields an extra bit of performance, so they mostly aren't happy about their jobs.
+1. I have never read anything else as crazily synesthetic and almost uncomfortably rich as Schulz's writing. It just goes on, page after page (but only a couple hundred in total) of gorgeous and often bizarre imagery. Imagine an author combining Updike's descriptive power and Calvino's fine control of story and myth, then feed that person some hallucinogens, and you might get something like Schulz.

Some snippets:

> all colors immediately fell an octave lower, the room filled with shadows, as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea and the light was reflected in mirrors of green water

> they blinked in the light; their eyes, still full of night, spilled darkness at each flutter of the eyelids

> there are things that cannot ever occur with any precision. they are too big and too magnificent to be contained in mere facts. they are merely trying to occur, they are checking whether the ground of reality can carry them. and they quickly withdraw, fearing to lose their integrity in the frailty of realization. and if they break into their capital, lose a thing or two in their attempt at incarnation, then soon, jealously, they retrieve their possessions, call them in, reintegrate: as a result, white spots appear in our biography - scented stigmata, the faded silvery imprints of the bare feet of angels, scattered footmarks on our nights and days - while the fullness of life waxes, incessantly supplements itself, and towers over us in wonder after wonder

I wonder if she was knowingly committing fraud for the purpose of amassing wealth, or if she genuinely believed they would be able to deliver if they could keep the R&D going.
It's useful to remember, when we end up with incredibly expensive and totally ineffective weapons systems, that our military budget is more than double that of the next highest-spending nation, that it's about 3/4 of our federal discretionary spending, and the 3rd largest category of federal expenditure overall, at roughly 692 Billion dollars. We spend more on social security and health care, but far less on Veterans, Transportation, Food & Agriculture, Education, International Affairs, Housing, Energy, Science, and Labor.
> whereas the hate on Amazon is really about one thing.. that ol "makes no profit" canard.

Ahem [1], and while we're at it, [2]

My criticism to Apple isn't that they're being expensive; it is related to right to repair and their constant efforts to hamper that. Amazon just undercuts everyone, and Turk globalizes cheap workforce. For ridiculous low payment. These are just 2 examples you did not mention. You can read more in the sources below.

Very rich? If you replace it every year and spend $1000 each time, that's only around $3 / day. There are an awful lot of people that can afford that.

When you consider how a phone is the primary computing device for a lot of people, it's an even easier decision.
Minor nitpick, the Sunday NYTimes is $5 in NY or $6 elsewhere. Mon - Sat are indeed $2.50.

I started in ML about 7 years ago so well before the hype and back then very few people wanted to be ML engineers.

What's happening at least in Australia now is that contract rates (a good indicator of the supply/demand ratio) has halved for ML engineers. Which means (a) a lot of people want to be ML engineers and (b) there aren't that many jobs for them.
I use outline dot com to get around paywall :)
I'm not suggesting those were good ideas, only that they were rumors about innovative products that got a lot of attention, in part because everyone thought Apple must be up to something, because they hadn't made a big splash in a long time. Maybe the problem isn't that Apple's isn't innovating anymore, but that so many others now are as well, so innovation gets lost in the crowd. Companies like Tesla, Amazon, and Google share a space now that Apple had to itself for a long time.
In America, it's probably more accurate to blame government labor unions for the preference of more lower skilled workers to fewer higher skilled workers
Strange that they went with plain text when the industry is converging on (newline delimited) JSON logs for structured data. This also serves as the backbone of observability with metrics and tracing also being folded into and output as JSON.

Call them events and you can claim all the event-sourcing buzzwords too.
I'm using Webpack + Babel... but literally only for features after async/await. All major, current browsers support it. That's the baseline support for the apps I'm working on now.

The payload to fill promises, regenerator and async are huge, and without them, my payload is significantly smaller. for preset-env...

{
loose: true,
modules: false,
useBuiltIns: 'usage',
corejs: 3,
targets: {
browsers: ['edge 15', 'safari 10.1', 'chrome 58', 'firefox 52', 'ios 10.3'],
},
exclude: ['transform-async-to-generator', 'transform-regenerator'],
},

from here, I only need the features not part of stage 4 that I want to add. I have the following in a test script...

try {
eval('(function() { async _ => _; })();');
if (typeof fetch === 'undefined') throw new Error('no fetch');
} catch (e) {
window.location.replace('/auth/legacy.html');
}

With async functions, and fetch api available, you get a LOT in the box.

It is supposedly like Vim, intentional or not. It's contextual (Vim: command mode, insert mode, Blender: object mode, edit mode, etc.) and reverse-polish (e.g. "UVSphere 16 16"). It is an efficient, streamlined and, honestly, superior interface.

You cannot explore it, and that's the problem. RTFM is required.

> it's easy to use for Maya/Max

When I was 14, with not prior 3D software experience, I first attempted to use Blender (it's free!). After maybe 20 minutes I gave up trying to add a sphere to the scene. I figured out the Max interface in less than a minute.

Change aversion is a factor, but it also alienated complete newbies.

How about agree with them? And connect with them?

I don't necessarily mean to agree that the Earth is flat.

But maybe if you think that we don't know all the answers and finding out things we don't know is fun, you could find common ground even with flat-earthers.

Probably 99% of humanity has one element of common ground: we all want to be happy.

So start from there and work outwards. How does believing the Earth is flat make them happier? As you discover the answer to that (one of which is certainly community as the OP points out), maybe there's other shared common ground.

This could apply to almost anything. Even racists want to be happy. They think that they'll be more happy by holding people different from themselves back, but likely part of this is they hold a relative sense of success (are they better off than their neighbors) than an absolute sense (are they better off than they could be). Maybe compare those two pictures of success, and show that even if someone different from them gets successful by getting a good education and curing cancer, they will directly benefit by not needing to worry about cancer.

And connection matters a lot too. Pretty much every instance I've seen of racists dropping their racism was a direct result of direct interactions with people they demonized that they realized they had more in common with than they'd believed (and in some cases more than their racist buddies).

To me the saddest part of the movie was the cross cuts between the science meetup and the flat-earth meetup. Those two groups would actually have got along pretty well, if they focused on shared passion for the unknown and not their differences.

Besides - with everything we are learning about how consensus across entangled observers may be deterministic of the resulting reality (quantum Darwinism, which is supported by recent experiments but not yet proven), perhaps flat-earthers, by abandoning recognition of a shared consensus of the rest of the world, have in fact created a mostly overlapping Venn-diagram sort of pocket reality where the Earth being flat is as real as the notion it is not for the rest of us. And if we adopt that belief we can enter into that reality, and if they adopt the scientific method's application to their premise they'd necessitate returning to ours (perhaps the scientific method is exactly that - a process to evaluate disparate realities and converge to a norm).

In fact, maybe that's what cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias really are -- a desire to stabilize our version of reality by way of consensus. Almost like a psychological gravity both of an equal but unobservable entanglement.

So it stands to reason the only way to get a fringe reality to reconnect with the rest of the herd is to start from consensus and work to re-entangle the detached observations from there.
Note that 'm' in this title is 'miles'. Not a great idea to use this format and abbreviations for alternate measurement systems.
There was a brief golden age of newspapers that went away with industrialization. It hasn't been Ben Franklin's game for a long time and I think people need to think about what that has meant and will mean.
Compensation is easily measurable and comparable than something like 'happiness' and wellness. I'm definitely not on the company's side for neglecting company happiness, but it so so subjective and it's probably easier for them to set this standard and have people find happiness and balance in their lives.

Google - the only thing they are doing profitability is selling ads.

Just look at Apple’s revenue split (second graph). How do you think that compares to Google?

A “successful” product is one that you can sell for more than it costs to make. Anyone can sell dollar bills for 0.95 cents.

There is a fine line as most people don't have very good conversation skill's and will use you as a surrogate to a psychologist. You have to pull them in line with eye contact and silence and then giving them the benefit of the doubt, and finally have to say they're in a conversation/discussion. If that all else fails then you leave the conversation.
At my last case, the company doing really well put a lot of stress on me to maintain. Overworked and undercompensated, I developed a terrible case of Ursine dementia in combination with Grizzly depression.

Because they're dependent on selling hardware, not software. It's not rocket science, hardware doesn't scale as easily as software, so it leads to a smaller multiplier.
Another hypothesis that equally well explains the data: employees at successful companies tend to be happy because the rising tide lifts (almost) all boats. Companies that are doing poorly will tend to look to cut staff, wages, and benefits, which could be a source of unhappiness. Etc. I don't really think the evidence presented here gives much reason to believe that seeking the well-being of your employees will do anything for the bottom line. OTOH, it's easy for me to believe that improving the top line will improve your employees' happiness.
Most of the happiless business seems susceptible of robotization.
AFAIK the ramp precludes anything other than rotary wing AEW, or at least it precludes the E-2 in particular. That seems like a bigger deal than which models of jump jet can be used. An E-2 can be flown an hour or two longer but twice as high as a Merlin HM2. At 4.5 km up the horizon is 241 km away. At 10.6 km it's 367 km. Translated to area covered up to the horizon, that's 18,000 km^2 vs 42,000 km^2.

So because it has a ramp, the HMS Queen Elizabeth has less than half the AEW coverage.
I'd always wondered how they made money. I've had the (outsider) impression that Blender was substandard in comparison the the paid suites (3Ds Max, Maya) in part because of my interactions with GIMP—my impression has been its lower quality in comparison to PS is a result a of its lack of funding.

Could the GIMP foundation follow Blenders example or is it politically untenable?
A preceding B does not imply that A causes B, it only implies that B doesn't cause A. Which doesn't really reduce the world of possible causal relationships by all that much, since there may be any number of other factors that weren't considered.

For example, it could just as easily be the case that adjustments to dysfunctional aspects of the company's internal politics improve both morale and productivity, but the morale change becomes apparent more quickly.
The popularity of investigative journalism podcasts from NPR, Gimlet, ProPublica, Center for Investigative Reporting, etc. seem to disprove this theory.

Outside of a few exceptional pieces the typical content on print "news" sites is utter garbage. The pressure to have a bunch of different columns publishing multiple stories a day seems like it really drives the quality down. All the super cool long-form investigative journalism gets totally buried by "stories" or "updates" that are basically just a headline and a sentence or two of actual content.
