Yes to all of those. If you said "to pay Microsoft licenses" I qould squirm and say yes. Taxation, then democratically elected representatives get to decide what to spend the money on, even if I personally dont agree.

> Anyone can read a number? Hardly. A huge number of people would have trouble getting all the digits, precisely and in order without mistakes.

You only need 3 decimal places for ~100m accuracy. So really you're talking a 5 digit number and a 4 digit number (in the UK). A sensible presentation of that data would not be hard to read for almost anyone who doesn't have sight problems.

Moreover, a service like the theoretical "999.gov.uk" could log a person's GPS location and give them (say) a three word codephrase to pass to the dispatcher to lookup the record on the backend. No more or less effort, but not proprietary and harder to mess up.

> Also, words have audio redundancy. If I say "apple" you get the same data as if I say "a_ple" or "_pple" or "app_e" or if you don't, you know there was a glitch and can ask for retransmission.

This is true. I don't think there's a good way to fix that with numbers.

Here’s a quick blog post that points out a few problems with the report.

https://brontecapital.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-flat-out-sill...

It looks like Markopolis claimed GE’s margins were too good to be true, even though they’re below the industry average.

Also he compares this section of the business with another company that GE spun off, seemingly not knowing that they were originally linked.

Doesn’t seem like a very credible report if these 2 things are true.

There are two economists – one young and one old – walking down the street together.

The young economist looks down and sees a $20 bill on the street and says, “Hey, look a twenty-dollar bill!”

Without even looking, his older and wiser colleague replies, “Nonsense. If there had been a twenty-dollar lying on the street, someone would have already picked it up by now.”
This survey asks for the “best” programming language.

The effect is very dependent on program structure and actual code running, but for a suitable application it's reasonable to expect anything from 5-15%, and sometimes much more (see e.g. Firefox reporting 18% here: https://glandium.org/blog/?p=3888 )
Svelte author here. There's a couple of things to note:

- as Glench mentioned, it's not destroying and recreating stuff unnecessarily. By default it will create or destroy blocks at the end of the `each`, if the length of the array has changed. If you use a `key` then it will diff the input (as opposed to the output) and move elements around accordingly.

- `$$invalidate` is just an implementation detail, and is subject to change. There a couple of directions in which we plan to do so. One is to use bitmask-based change tracking, which would allow us to generate more compact code resulting in faster change checks (e.g. `changed & 7` instead of `changed.foo || changed.bar || changed.baz` when updating the view). Another is to track which nested properties of an object or array have changed — at the moment, `items[i] = item` invalidates all of `items`, but it would be great if we had a way to invalidate `items[i]` instead.

So what's your solution? You have to put in something, and putting in the real maiden name seems like the worse option to me. Social engineering is going to be the weakest point no matter what you do, so I don't see how anything you do could defend against it and why you should account for it if there isn't anything you can do.
So I'm writing a unit test. I bet everyone here can correctly guess the language.

I also happen to pay attention to the linter fart^Woutput:

I totally admit my thorough hate of pylint, it hasn't really ever helped me once -- mostly led to more `#pylint: disable=…` garbage in the source. I still force myself to use it, as a duty by fellow... other engineers. But that's an aside.

Please, tell me how much more "natural" and "un-ugly" the 3-line snippet would read to you had it the third line assert flipped away from Yoda style, just as pylint suggests. I'm eager to hear you.

Football laws: What are the new rules for the 2019-20 season?
The brain volume largely correlates to body size [0] in mammals. More muscle cells require more nerves to control them which requires more coordination and hence a larger brain.

How the mammalian brain divies up this process depends on enviromental factors and the body plan. Dolphins and whales have specific parts of the brain used for ecolocation and the water pressure affects the volume of the brain. Elephants have larger areas devoted to using their trunk. Aye-Ayes have large visual cortices as they hunt inscets in the dark for food.

Cut off the worst causes of pollution, what's hard to understand ? We don't have to go back to a pre industrial world, we simply need to adjust the balance, we're clearly fucking it up right now. Just don't spend 4 weekends a year 1000km away from your home, stop shipping fruits from the other side of the world, don't drive a V8 when you can drive a small 3 cyl car, don't eat meat at every meal / every day, don't buy the next iGadget as soon as it's released. Are any of these going to seriously impact your well being ? nope.

It's not like getting shitfaced on a beach in Ibiza or taking pictures of the Eiffel tower is going to deeply change your life (because let's be honest 5 min, the majority of travel is for leisure).

Travel is a luxury, not a right, people need to understand that, it might be cheap money wise but you're selling away the future of mankind.

The Anthropocene's Impossible Task
There's an old saying in marketing that half of your advertising money is wasted, you just don't know which half.

It's entirely possible for most people to find advertising either useless or creepy and for significant amounts of advertising revenue to nonetheless exist. And even if ads work some small fraction of the time, they can still be genuinely profitable for the advertisers.
Vectornator looks pretty awesome! Auto-trace feature is especially intriguing.
I really recommend the book Consciousness and the Brain as a summary of modern neuropsychology. The long story short is that conscious thought is only a small fraction of the brain. There's a tremendous amount of pre-conscious machinery that pre-processes and evaluates sensory input.

The role of consciousness is only to act as a sort of "global workspace" to reconcile any discrepancies that can't easily be evaluated and explained by the pre-conscious modules of the brain. As such the vast majority of sensory input never even makes it to the conscious level.

A small bank that I use sold itself to a slightly larger bank a few years ago; one of the things that I appreciated about the old bank was that they made this a "short arbitrary secret" field instead of "mother's maiden name" I had given them two randomly-chosen words, stored in my password manager.

Earlier this year, I opened a new account with the (new) bank and discovered that they already had my mother's maiden name, were going to use it for identity verification, and wouldn't allow me to change it to something arbitrary (even another fake name that I sometimes use). Quite frustrating, this security based on insecure information.
>It isn't false that they're paid to tweet.

Which is not the allegation being made.
This is exactly the point I'm making; if we must ascribe agency at all (I'm thinking that's a category error here, but human thought is fuzzy and I'll roll with it for now), it would belong to the "==". Don't read it as English at all; read it natively. There is a reason we call these programming languages, no joke, no pun.

"But I do wonder if you’d be equally happy if I went through your codebase and replaced every for loop condition from i < length to length > i..."

You'd have a hard time of it; I'm a vigorous believer in doing whatever you can in the language you're in to avoid the old 3-element-style C-style for loops in favor of "for ... in ..." or local equivalent. I'm pretty sure you'd get single digit hits for C-style for loops with multiple clauses in the condition.
Seems like a randomly selected fake name and fake address would work.

I find it strange that they bother, since in the end you can always just run a fullscreen Linux VM and hand it over 99% of the computer’s resources.

Maybe Apple’s true worry might be revealed by considering the difference between what they allow and what they prevent. Apple allow you to have a wholly-Linux UX on an Apple laptop; but they don’t allow Linux developers to run a Linux kernel directly on Apple hardware.

Maybe what they’re really concerned about is Linux having an easy testbed for developing MacBook hardware/peripheral drivers, such as for the T2, such that people could build apps in other OSes that take advantage of the touchbar, and thus in some way “commoditize” one of the costlier USPs of macOS?
I only with that with the advent of all these different anti-tracking movements, that there was a clear, documented way for "good faith actors" that require technology like localstorage.

We've worked really hard to implement a embedded experience via an iframe, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for our software to walk on egg shells as to not trigger it being labelled as a tracker (as it is definitely not, we only utilize localstorage for storing authentication details). Combine that with the fact that without using cookies, there isn't any way for us to support AMP sites, which often incorrectly labels us as a third party tracker.

edit: I do realize that the WebKit Tracking Prevention Policy essentially is a guide of how it works, I'm mostly interested in a "this is how to work within these defined walls to not be flagged as harmful"

Why SQLite succeeded as a database (2016)
Storage is an interesting problem, but it's also a problem for nuclear. You don't get nuclear peaker plants because they cost so much you need to run them flat out, and then export your excess to other countries, plus subsidize your nuclear program under the table, before the math even starts to work out.

Someone suggested that you could use the excess electricity to generate hydrogen. Yes you could, but you could generate more hydrogen for less money with solar/wind.

Two options, with similar drawbacks, one of which is cheap and easy to build (well, conparitively, those windmills are stupid big) and roll out around the globe and one that isn't.

People are seriously working right now on how to get to 100% renewables. Lots of interesting proposals and plans. Basically every government is on board with this. It's just fiddling with the details. 80% is considered pretty easy.

No one is working on aiming for 100% nuclear because it's just a plain stupid idea. Build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it levels of stupid, as similarly it wouldn't even solve the problem.

Yet somehow you can pretend to be the adult in the room by armchair quarterbacking it as what we should have done if the sensible people were in charge.
Honestly, the biggest blocker to us having a 'blessed' story around testing isn't figuring out how to test (which is relatively straightforward), it's figuring out what to test. Do you really need to test that `<p>Hello {name}!</p>` results in `<p>Hello world!</p>` if `name = world`? Because then you're really just testing that the framework itself isn't buggy, rather than anything to do with your app.

Which isn't to dismiss the concern — just to offer an explanation as to why it hasn't been our top priority so far.
