It's true the same species implies fertile offspring, but it does not go the other way as you seem to be implying. In other words fertile offspring does not imply same species. For some examples, chihuahuas and wolves can produce fertile offspring, as can lions/tigers, killer whales/dolphins, and many more peculiar pairings.

It's quite difficult to pin down a precise definition for species. Even genetic definitions don't work so well. Depending on how it is measured chimps hit around 99% genetic similarity with humans. Nature isn't so kind as to provide clean and concrete delineations for us, at least not that we're currently capable of measuring.

Jira projects massively benefit from a PM who is an expert user, or another expert user involved in care-and-feeding of the projects, in my experience. Just throwing a bunch of developers at it and hoping ... doesn't lead to a good time.
It's hard to see how they'd enforce that. You get a bill with $0 for labor and $x for materials, you just bought parts.

How did it go over with your coworkers?
Totally. Apple even says that their services make more money than their hardware. But without the hardware, the services will also go down.

Apple need to keep people in their wall garden. There's a threshold they need to keep at or else their influence will wane considerably like the Mac vs PC fight.
Which is exactly what we're talking about. Instead of getting paid what we're worth, we have mega corporations like Uber breaking laws, ignoring regulations, and then lobbying for regulations when it suits them. It's rather disgusting.
Then should it not be possible for the smart folks here to fork Android and provide a linux style experience on top of phones that run Stock Android OS? Can you do that with target hardware like a Pixel or Samsung or Motorola phone? The App store then becomes github, gitlab, or an apk you get from anywhere. Right?
This looks really cool! I'm not sure if I wanna register myself on this service yet so I haven't seen a lot of it but I'm curious: How is my transaction data imported? Are there APIs for that or do something else? (Sorry if this is explained somewhere on the site already.)

This is exactly what happened in LA toward the end of 2018. Uber tried raising fares in order to pay their drivers more, but Lyft didn't follow suit and consequentially the market shifted toward Lyft in response. Ridesharing consumers are fickle. It seems the only way for prices to be raised are a) a stable duopoly where both companies' strategy is price matching, or b) through regulation.

You could try reversing that and asking them to set an agenda before you a accept the meeting. Keep asking specific questions if needed. If they won't answer, you can pull the "it's your job" card on them.

This article is a great example of where the submitter should improve the title. As it is, I thought "Was there a Computer Science Alert in 1890?"

There's nothing wrong with an informative title here. If it were me, I would write:

That does what a good headline should do: give a taste of the story without venturing into clickbait territory.

If you keep a child out of the kitchen because the stove is hot, you'll protect them burning themselves, but you'll also prevent them from learning how to cook.

If people don't get the opportunity to fuck up, you arrest their development. Stupid software users then becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Users will become dumber than they ever were before, and therefore more and more reliant on software developers to do/make everything for them. In my cynical moments, I suspect this is all intentional... Imagine if the fast food industry were throwing their weight around to promote the idea that children should be kept out of kitchens.
I don't necessarily disagree. This could be a net good for drivers, I'm just trying to point out the validity of the anticompetitive angle here. Regardless I certainly don't think you could argue that Uber is being more competitive by doing this unless they are willing to take the initiative themselves first.

Uber will just "ride it out"

This is part of the problem with software eating the world: it replaces physical processes which obey physical laws with metaphors, and the only laws metaphors obey are the ones their creators set for them. So they take processes that used to be predictable and repeatable (if unwieldy) and turn them into processes that are easier to work with, but maddeningly unpredictable.

+1 on the hot water. Also, use it on your face. Wash your face thoroughly to get rid of the dirt that can cause the razor to slide unevenly. Then try to wait to let that warm water soften the skin. Drag the razor gently across the face. A sharp razor blade should be able to cut without you applying pressure. A 30 degree angle is best for safety razors.

Finally, rub your stubble to get a sense of which direction your hair grows. Shave with the grain before shaving against it.
Tapping the cable still allows the enemy to talk.

Sometimes, if the enemy is trying to be sneaky, it's better to overhear them and thwart their efforts.

Other times the enemy might be trying to coordinate a massive attack for which timing is key. It wouldn't matter if you overhear because you need to disrupt the attack before it starts. In that case it's better to not let the enemy communicate at all.

Hey, congratulations, this is a really cool algorithm! Thanks for sharing it.

I'm interested in this paper because I worked on a somewhat related problem some time ago, but got stuck on how to handle data that morphs into a mixed-modal distribution. Modes that are close together are no big deal, but modes that are spaced more exponentially apart are tricky to deal with. For an example of something that would be in DataDog's purview, it would be like trying to sketch the histogram of response times from an endpoint that sometimes took a "fast" path (e.g. a request for a query whose result was cached), sometimes took a "normal" path, and sometimes took a "slow" path. (e.g. a query with a flag that requested additional details to be computed) If the response times from the slow path is much bigger than the others, e.g. by an order of magnitude, their statistics might essentially drown-out the data from the other two paths since you're using them to calculate bin size.

I noticed you had some results from measuring DDSketch's performance on a mixed-modal distribution that looked pretty good (that "power" distribution on the last page). I was wondering if you had done any more investigation in this area? E.g. how messy/mixed can the data be before the sketch starts to break down?
The biggest win of predicate-based formal verification (or really any formal verification at all) is forcing you to carefully think about invariants and properties of your code (independently of whether you can prove them). Even if you can't prove them, these serve as useful formal documentation for maintenance purposes and help guide and maximize the efficiency of other techniques such as traditional testing. If you can characterize your code with useful invariants and properties, then you can write useful unit tests and property tests, rather than writing happy path tests that fail to actually catch many bugs.

Assertions are one piece of the puzzle, but often times you want to reason about how something fits in a larger context (the canonical example of this is something like the associativity of an operator, which isn't something you can check for with an assert statement within the operator), which is where independent predicates come in handy.

In general, I think of fuzzing and property-based testing as a lightweight and practical stand-in for the verification part of formal verification. If your formal properties can be proved quickly (e.g. by a short manual proof or some sort of automated engine) then great! If they can't, you can still often times convert it into a fuzzing-friendly format or a property test and get a fairly high degree of confidence of correctness that way.
Here's the difference. If I said "what's an implementation of Common lisp?" You'd say SBCL. If I Said "What's an implementation of C" you'd say GCC. If I said "What's an implementation of Javascript?" You'd say V8, Spidermonkey, etc.

When I ask "What's an implementation of Perl6" The answer is "Nothing implements perl 6, isn't that wonderful!" It used to take forever diving around to find something that could run some subset of perl 6, usually with the disclaimer of "This isn't really perl 6, but rather a language that seems like perl 6" And you'd get the same thing from the mailing lists/etc.
The handheld / pocket form factor is just a different device category, the kind you can have always on you.

It's more competition for your phone than your netbook.

Of course, it arguably suffers there: 600€ will buy you a lot of phone right now (def more processor). So there's there's a reasonable question regarding whether the keyboard + controls and more open nature add enough value. The answer is probably "no" unless handheld gaming and tinkering is your thing.
Maybe instead of arguing about who deserves to get hit by the trolley, we should be changing the system that is tying people to the tracks.
This is counter to my experience. Every one of my female friends prefers Uber to taxi's because they feel much safer. They've all had at least one taxi incident where they were afraid for their well being but haven't had a single one with Uber despite using Uber far more.

This makes sense to me because it's far easier to track down the an Uber driver than a taxi driver.

I really love when apps like this are free for small teams.

Most of the time I work alone or with 1-2 people. We would look for free options anyway. Because it's free, I get hooked up and then I stay with the tool for bigger projects.

Breaking a regulation is not the same as breaking a law. We have two types of law in the US, civil and criminal law. Civil law is enforced through lawsuits by the aggrieved party using the legal concept of tort, criminal law is prosecuted by the state in a process we're all more familiar with due to media attention.

Regulations are enforced by regulatory bodies that operate under a different legal basis than civil / criminal law. Regulatory bodies are not legislative in nature but rather executive. Being sanctioned by a regulatory body is a very different thing than getting prosecuted.

For one, a regulatory body does not enjoy legitimate use of force, and cannot imprison individuals. They can only sanction according to their mandate. If you refuse to pay a sanction, this may escalate to a prosecutable criminal infraction. But simply breaking regs isn't a crime.

For instance, if you're operating an illegal home-based business, you may be subject to sanction by the zoning authority and the entity that you were supposed to register with. Like the local real estate board if you were providing realtor services without a license.

Only in rare situations is it a criminal offense to provide commercial services without the proper licenses, such as providing legal or medical services. It is not, as you say, the norm.

Even in the case of environmental regulations, rarely are they elevated to the status of crimes under criminal law. More usually you'll get contacted by the appropriate environmental protection administration and fined. I recall hearing about one company who would simply call up the authorities whenever they needed to dump into the river and pay the token fine.

There's a lot of room for improvement.
For those of us who are introverts, being inside on a stormy evening means we don't have to justify why we're not going out - only a fool would go out. And we know no one will come by. So we lock our door and enjoy the sound of raindrops on the roof, as we inhale the solitude.

My understanding of FileKit is that you do trust the Tanker server, but only for delivering JS and handling identities.

It only contains public keys and encrypted DEKs (data encryption keys); see this image: https://docs.tanker.io/filekit/latest/going-further/file-enc...

The file content should therefore only be accessible by holders of private keys for which the file was encrypted.
> Say all you want about DDG and alternatives, but they still can't hold a candle to Google's search quality

I started using DDG, believing that "it shows me inferior results, but privacy-wise, it is worth it." Yet I've come to learn that DDG's results are often on-par or better than Google, and inferior only a small fraction of the time.

Often when I "!g" a query, I find that I get pretty much the same results with Google too. There are maybe 10% of cases where the results significantly differ.

My perception now is that Google performs better on programming-related queries, and much better on giving me local results (especially results related to my city). But when searching for content that you'd often find on blogs, or looking for reviews of products, DDG almost always beats Google by showing less SEO-heavy, more authentic results.

I've been using Arc 6 beta for the last month or so, and Arc for about half a year.

I mainly got into Arc after seeing Angelina Fabbro's talk where she compared creating the same app with an .arc file vs using serverless.com. It's been pretty straightforward since, particularly not having any previous lamda experience.

Things I like about Arc:

- A full featured local development server with EVERYTHING. Much faster than deploying lambdas all the time. It watches files and auto-reloads too.

- It's focused on what things do rather than AWS product names. @http routes (ie lambdas), @static folder (which is s3), @cdn (whatever AWS's cdn is called), @ws for websockets.

- Excellent support for SPAs. I'm using Arc with a Svelte SPA and hydration and Arc's @static supports this setup (though I'm not yet finished)

- For node users: async/await middleware. You can combine multiple lambdas into a single lambda using arc.http.async. This is way nicer than express-style middleware (which Arc also supports, but I prefer async/await). Note I worked on this so I'm biased, but I really do use it in almost every lambda.

- An active community and responsive developers on Slack. https://architecture-as-text.slack.com
There's no difference between trusting the server to deliver Javascript cryptography source code and trusting the server with your secrets. The server can just deliver code (in a number of different ways) to compromise those secrets.

Um, no. Not at all. I’d argue that it’s the exact opposite. There are so many new novels that are very political, almost too many that I don’t care to read anymore political novels. Especially in the Trump age. All the writers feel compelled to resist Trump through their writing/art.
Surprising that the author of such a technical piece talks about “particles and waves” in the expository paragraphs. Let’s be clear. We are talking about bosons and fermions.

Now let’s consider what is going on. We have two photons in and two photons out in different energies and directions although the total energy and momentum must be conserved. Anything could be happening in between, so let’s stick with known phenomena.

We know about photon -> particle/antiparticle, and the reverse. We also know about particle/antiparticle -> dual photon, and the reverse, which must exist by time symmetry. So it’s not hard to see that dual photon -> particle/antiparticle -> dual photon interactions are very possible.

So how do we get scattering? First, if the input photons are opposite momentum, then the output photons may be in any opposite directions. Actually, any two incident photon momenta define a cone of output direction possibilities, and the lifetime of the +/- particle system translates that cone along the total momentum vector. Thus, many observations are possible at the detector.

I'm not familiar with US salaries I guess it greatly depends on the state/city you're in. But in the UK I don't think this amount is uncommon for some doctors or software developers, especially outside of London.
Beards are actually a lot of work to maintain. Yes, you get to avoid shaving while it grows in, but after that it takes a lot of work to keep it trimmed (looks scraggly unless you do) and keep it clean while eating.

The best middle ground I found for me was shave once per week. Keeps it short and tidy and shaving isn’t a huge chore because it doesn’t get that long in a week.
At this point I honestly wish chrome never happened.
That's not a problem with their logic, that's a problem of your pedantry.

Draw the line wherever you think it should be drawn. Their argument is still true. The argument doesn't change whether full-time is 25 hours or 75 hours.

Isn't that where you put random code snippets + a vague description of what you expect it to do into a question on stackoverflow and wait for some rep hungry dev to turn it into working code?

Jokes aside, even with humans doing the interpreting and high costs incentivizing those defining the requirements to be precise and clear, I see a lot of friction. A not-really-smart automaton won't help there, I'm afraid.

That’s the entire point. As Apple integrates more stuff, by its nature it’s harder to replace. Ifixit was even bemoaning when it was harder to replace the screen when the pixels were fused to the glass around 2010. Soon, the cellular radio will probably be a part of the SOC along with the processor and GPU when Apple’s acquisition of Intel’s modem division starts to see results.

We are already seeing third party suppliers with shoddy screens that don’t work as well and battery replacements that lie about their lifecycle.

If you really want to use the car analogy as others have, how easy is it to get third party repairs for high end cars or Tesla’s?
