I'd like to offer a friendly early warning of the ... debate you're about to encounter with your description of our vastly superior electrical outlets and plugs as "arcane".
You shouldn't be downvoted. The article is clickbait nonsense written by someone who's just making things up. There's no actual scientific basis to believe that the article or referenced books have any more insight or predictive power than astrology does. The reality is that no one has any clue what's going to happen and everyone is just guessing.
There’s probably a market for bank cameras with image recognition that automatically set a silent alarm if they spot a gun. Several cameras inside and out could track the individuals.
It sounds like you're looking for something like distributed tracing (vs. vanilla logging).

Zipkin (https://github.com/openzipkin) and OpenTracing (https://github.com/opentracing) purport to be vendor/platform agnostic tracing frameworks and have support with various servers/systems/etc.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Why Does It Matters?
Agreed! I made reference to the patent in the exFAT Wikipedia page for years ago and it was reverted within hours.

When Apple was at death's door (around the arrival of OS X) they were very open about protocols and formats (e.g. JPG, mp3, ssh, whatever) and happily paid the Danegeld so their customers could encode mp3s and RTF files etc. They proclaimed how important open formats were and managed somehow to get unprotected files in their music store. I thought to myself that they would lose "religion" if they ever achieved any success and indeed, they don't really care so much. They don't even oppose it, just don't care.

So I wonder if this is MS seeing that exFat might be replaced just to save a few pennies of BOM cost and that they need to be in the thick of IoT things, having lost the embedded OS competition. And while exFat is hardly a big money earner, staying relevant matters. With linux beating Ones in the Azure cloud, every bit helps.

BTW I'm a long term apple user; my comments about the waxing and waning of their commitment to openness is a dispassionate observation.
Often enough. Like how many times is too many when we are talking about sending people away for years? If they find something that exonerates you, who is looking out for you, do you have the right to find evidence that clears you? Can you ask Google for such information? Anything they find can and will be used against you, and anything that clears you they are under no obligation to disclose. Does that sound like a fair bargain?
Apache logs to go rsyslog via logger (apparently the best option with Apache 2.4). Syslogs go to a central rsyslog server over RELP (which mostly has been reliable, but a recent bug in rsyslog daily caused us to have to reload a week's worth of logs).

Central rsyslog server uses mmnormalize/liblognorm to parse the apache logs and load them into Elasticsearch.

haproxy logs directly to rsyslog via a domain socket, RELP to central server, lognorm to load into ES.

ELB logs go into S3, and logstash pulls them down and loads them into ES.

The remainder of syslog messages just go into files on the central server.

We also have Sentry set up with some newer applications logging into that.
I don't think you understand the problem scope. Guns are hidden behind clothing and you're going to have a lot of false positives.

Moving from Norway back to Australia felt like going back in time 20 years when it came to banking! In Norway I'd get a new bill and enter the code into my banking and it would offer me an option to "automatically approve up to X per month for this vendor".

Automatically approved bills didn't get auto paid - but they appeared in the "upcoming bills" when issued, with a pay date of the due date on the bill. I could go an hit "pause" or "stop" on any bill - and it either wouldn't pay or would be removed entirely. Anything that wasn't auto-approved would start in paused mode and I'd have to manually approve it - but that was a single click.

Still, I agree that when I'm in the states it feels crazy old tech. They still require signatures on credit cards!
If you were a cop, would you want the AGPS range data? or some triangulated range of phones?

Cops are only doing what makes sense. You can't really blame them. There needs to be a law that prevents them from doing it. Absent that, people need to stop being so liberal with their information.

This was a bank robbery, but the principle certainly applies to other activities as well. I mean really, do you really need your phone on you if you're going to see your mistress? I don't think you do.
Engineering is nothing like a trade school if you mean Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering... etc (probably not what you meant here by context, but I felt I should clarify).

You basically do 4 years of math and physics with several years of calculus, differential equations, numerical methods, programming, and solving difficult problems. It is nothing like a trade school (no offense to that line of work...they probably make more money than me :)).

That college should cost less isn't the debate we're having. You're unlikely to find anyone here to disagree with about that. For this thread, college costs what it costs, and it costs enough for a deliberate bankruptcy (the technical term for that, by the way, is "ruthless default") to be a practical option.

We're referring to the same time period, by the way. Have you looked for evidence of defaults in the late 60s and early 70s? Where did you look?

During the housing crisis, a material number of people defaulted ruthlessly on their homes. There was even slang for it --- "jingle mail", for people mailing their keys back to their lenders. That is, defaults were a problem even when lenders actually had a valuable asset to seize.

Later

A more tenable suggestion would be to restore the status quo ante of the 98 Bankruptcy Reform act, making loans dischargeable in bankruptcy after 7 years. It'd be interesting to go look for the rationale for the '98 act's indefinite non-dischargeability provision.

This is an interesting paper, one you'll probably like as it's skeptical of arguments against non-dischargeability, that goes into some detail about what other countries do (they do address what the paper calls "opportunistic" default):

A proper type system offers a level of safety and correctness that simply cannot be achieved without one, especially as the complexity of an application grows. Also, the supposed lack of cognitive overhead without a type system is actually a subtle form of technical debt where you move faster because you eschew thinking deeply about your data structures up front, but inevitably pay a bigger price in production when you have to debug data type errors at run-time. The debt has to be paid again by every new developer tasked with working on the project because they have to organically absorb an understanding of the application's data structures that could have been explicitly defined and enforced by the computer. Finally, the extent of defensive programming required to begin to make up for a type system actually adds a ton of extra code itself (e.g. tons of guard blocks testing brittle application values at run time). Not all type systems are created equally, but a code base without types is pretty much always worse than a comparable one with types (the exception being shell scripts and other relatively simple programs that aren't maintained by a team of developers)

the generator in the wind turbine is not generating at 66 kV. There is a transformer in the base of the turbine to step the voltage up to 66 kV. A 10 MW generator is typically at 6.9 kV, although could be up to 13.8 kV.
The subjective theory of value is just that if people think something has value, then it has value. For a Marxist, telling people they are wrong about their subjective judgements is irresistable, so I can see why they strongly reject it.

Value theory was entombed by Marx' followers. Marx offered a theory that was a) a positive theory on how the economy functioned, b) a normative theory on why capitalism was immoral, and c) a mechanical explanation on why capitalism was doomed. In terms of a and c it has failed. I don't even think this is a damning criticism of Marx -- Smith and Ricardo were wrong about plenty as well. The neoclassicals moved on from Ricardo, but Marxists have refused to move on and instead of enveloped "the theory of value" in a cloud of words to insulate Marx from criticism. Mysteriously, while Smith and Ricardo can be criticized, critics of Marx are always "missing the whole point of the theory".

Economics is not all of social science. The core of economics is the study of markets, though it touches on history, or psychology, or sociology. Markets were pretty peripheral for most of human history, and historical, or psychological, or sociological explanations are more important. Maybe you can explain everything that has ever happened for all of human history, but I sure can't.
If bootcamps churn out employees who are productive from day 1 that will fix the problem. However, when you see a resume from a bootcamper who over the course of 4 months learned Linux, AWS, Javascript, jQuery, Node, SQL, Ruby on Rails, and React, it invites skepticism.
I was really hoping optional chaining would be in, but turns out that's scheduled for the next minor release, 3.7.

The generator improvements are appreciated, though I wish it went even further and supported uses like redux-saga better (so the return type of a yield expression could depend on the type of the value that was yielded).
No, that is patently untrue. Please provide sources for your claim.
In this instance, it certainly would have worked.

I don't see why you would suspect them of not being serious. Not everyone on this site is a native English speaker. I know when I was first learning English I'd get tripped up by things like awful and awesome, terrific and terrible, being the only one left after your friend has left, turning the alarm off after it goes off, and so on. Plenty of things in the English language that can look like the opposite of what they actually mean.
There is basically no limit to the amount of money that it would be worth paying for a government to get those HSMs, since they could decrypt nearly all the world's communication.

Except that unfortunately all of the following can be (and I wouldn't be surprised if they are) true: (i) Tesla cars are safer than most, (ii) Tesla drivers are safer than most, (iii) Tesla accidents cost insurers more than average, more than offsetting (i) and (ii). (You could also possibly add (iv) Tesla drivers are more likely to be located in states/countries where running an insurer is more expensive).

The cost (to the insurer) of providing car insurance isn't about how "safe" a driver is, it's about a combination of (1) how likely they are to make a claim (including accidents which aren't their fault - locality plays a part here - and thefts etc), and (2) how much will the average claim costs their insurer (and repair costs factor in massively here).

> Wine was a little syrupy and could have a high alcohol content compared with vintages today.

This is tangential but is there any evidence for this claim? It’s my understanding that yeast simply will not grow beyond about 14-15% alcohol, no matter how much sugar you feed them, and this is what puts a cap on the alcohol content of “current vintages”.

I’ve always heard that older wines (and other fermentables) were lower alcohol and that even 14% is only feasible due to modern yeast strains.

Sometimes it's not a rational belief, but rather an insecurity brought about by a culture that always took this belief for granted.

It's complicated precisely because it's signalling, so in context insecurity over the size of the diamond might not be an actual red flag. You might decide to take a principled stand on the matter, and I agree that insistence on a large diamond is a deal breaker, but not everyone has the same upbringing, cultural belief system, or social environment.

Companies have to face it. Community-which was once considered auxiliary bullshit that needed lip service—has now become the de-facto requirement for how to engage users and customers in a technology business. Now that we see them doing it we want to criticize them?
I set up Sentry a few years ago, based on a PyCon hallway-track talk I saw. We had a few false starts with it, but have integrated it with a couple of our newer platforms and have liked it.

It takes a kind of "ticket" approach to messages, it'll deduplicate and combine similar errors, and you go into a dashboard and see "We got ten thousand of this error, let me track it down, fix it, ack it and see if we keep getting it."
By standard VFAT is required, but on most Windows PC, the UEFI partition is in NTFS.
So if we priced airlines in regards to all of their externalities, they would have to pay for climate change but would get a portion of the all revenue derived by business trips (ie. the time saved traveling by air compared to other modes of transport and what the employees traveling would have been able to produce during that time). I wonder if they would end up better off under that system.
g++ drove me insane with its baroque error messages, but clang++ did not. However, I hear that g++ has improved.
"correctly rounded" is implementation defined is the problem. You cannot do it portably, and you cannot query it portably. As such, different platforms, compilers, etc do it differently. Thus using formatting for rounding is inconsistent.

Here's [1] where you can query the current floating-point environment in C: "Specifics about this type depend on the library implementation".

Here's [2] where you can set some rounding modes in C++: "Additional rounding modes may be supported by an implementation.". Note this does not have by default bankers rounding which is used to make many scientific calculations more stable (lowers errors and drift in accumulated calculations). Many platforms do this by default, but it's not in the standard.

You can chase down this rabbit hole. I (and several others) did during the issue on the last project, and got to where it was well-known in numerics circles that this is not a well-defined process in C/C++. If it were, printing and parsing should round-trip, and it does not before a recent C++ addition, and now it only is guaranteed in a special case.

Arrian mentions that veterans were regularly allowed to return home to Macedonia, presumably for good. But no mention of the generals being allowed to leave.
