I have a GPD Pocket 2 and I want to like it _so much_, but I just can't get used to the keyboard layout. Everything about it is perfect except for that, but since I just program directly from the framebuffer a keyboard that I can't get used to and use intuitively is pretty much a deal breaker :(
I think there are a couple of neat examples there:

plus I learned about the "unquoted string" feature that is the reason why the joke works

Before we saw a huge inflation, we'd see very low unemployment then inflation would uptick to 2%. And in the current interest rate environment we could probably use an inflation rate closer to 4%.

> but id guess theres a good reason.

Sometimes there are no good reasons, and we should have the ability to question it sometimes, that's how progress is made, in science and in engineering.
> I mean, I personally think Rust is cool and all that, but come on, who does that?

Some people have an LDS complex (they've found their messiah and want to spread the word). Apparently there's also people who've decided that over-the-top inane "evangelisation" was a good troll and way to turn people off. A significant number of PL threads on /r/programming have a comment attempting this sort of shit-stirring.
> Even more concern, 70% of consumers don’t answer a call if the caller’s number is anonymous. While that might cut down the number of unwanted robocalls, it also potentially prevents consumers from receiving vital communications—calls from the doctor, banks that are flagging issues, schools calling about parents’ children.

I don't understand how this helps with anonymous callers?

Why would you think Gojek will not have a talent and cannot manage engineering?

If you have used their app and done a review of their platform comparing it with Uber, can you please share.

Indeed Uber did try to enter Indonesia they failed, they were out of most of South East and East Asia, because they don't have enough engineering talent to build a system for those specific countries, local companies like Grab in Singapore, Gojek in Indonesia, Didi in China beat them. So why would you think those companies do not have a talent to build systems better suited to their own environment than Uber.

> I’d say opportunity is the most important. I often meet talented entrepreneurs who put an incredible amount of time and effort into solving problems that ultimately lack real market opportunity.

All other problems can be solved, coded or worked out. But, market opportunity is the only thing that can't be fixed. If no one wants what your selling, then no amount of talent or hard work will save you.
A Raspberry Pi 4 based tablet/laptop may be interesting.

Though I don't know if the RPi4 is actually competitive, in terms of battery life, with intel-based netbooks and the like.

If I were to do that, I would probably arrive at a ridiculously thick tablet with a couple of 18650 cells for power and it would need a good fan to try and save the screen from the heat.
I don't know why you got downvoted. This is about new drivers. I suppose some existing drivers might later get rewritten, but that's later, when there's been more experience with it.

In any case, FF shows that rewriting a complex C/C++ codebase in Rust bit by bit is feasible, though again, that doesn't seem to be the intent in this case.
Hate this is a problem that needs to be solved.

Love that Twilio is trying to solve it with a cool, seemingly useful approach.

Hate that Twilio will probably use something proprietary for this that locks people into their ecosystem even more.
BTW, these are ensemble models for the NOAA GFS (FV3) and CMC GDPS models. Ensemble models are where the starting conditions of weather simulation is perturbed slightly and the simulations re-solved. They do this 20-odd times and you end up with 20-odd tracks. So for both GFS and GDPS there will give 40-odd paths.

Sometimes, it can be interesting how the cluster of GFS tracks may differ from the GDPS tracks.
I was told once by some startup founders that there are iris scanning cameras that can acquire 50 irises per minute from a distance. I don't know if that is true, or what the resolution and accuracy would be, but nothing about that seems physically impossible to me.

When I was a child I was obsessed with the "grade level" function in Microsoft Word. It was a preference you could enable on spell check to tell you the "grade level" of your writing.

Every essay I wrote, I'd always force myself to reach the max "12.0" grade level. While writing I'd struggle over word choice, sentence structure, rearranging paragraphs, working on my tone etc, all in pursuit of the 12th grade way to phrase things. All my revisions were subject to the approval of the Grade Level checker.

Whenever I could I would check the grade levels of my friend's writing - usually by showing them a "neat feature" they could enable. Then, I'd smugly applaud myself for being the better writer whenever their grade level was below 12.0.

The Grade Level feature fascinated me and to try and master it, I found a book about Microsoft Word and looked through it in a bookstore. I was absolutely gobsmacked at how simple the formulas was. I had childishly been expecting something, like perhaps Utah educators imagine they have. I genuinely expected the method to be complex beyond my understanding.

Instead, Word used a variant of Flesch-Kincaid. There was a direct relationship between sentence length and grade score, and polysyllabic words and grade score. Meaning, the longer your sentences and words, the higher your grade score.

As soon as I got home from the bookstore I loaded a draft of something I had written. It was "pre-12.0" writing from me. I simply deleted all the periods but one and checked again. 12.0.

Automatic grading is a wonderful lure. It's nice to imagine that there's some objective writing quality easy to tap into. At the moment, I think we're far from that ability.

Personally, I feel the solution to insufficient teacher time is to use peer grading much more, and spot checks. Get kids to read and revise each other's works frequently, and teachers should aim to grade at least N papers per student where N is much less than the number of papers a student writes.

Revising is a really vital part of writing. Getting more chances to do revision, plus having to write something good enough to show your peers, plus having the risk of any paper count for your grade should compensate for incomplete teacher grading.
It's either spread out or build up. This is a choice communities need to make.

Small business is a broader term. Something for small businesses could be aimed at people running a restaurant. If I'm looking for something with a high degree of relevance to my team, which is definitely the case if I'm looking at this instead of just going with big well known products from big well known companies, then that makes it a less appealing statement.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but these drivers wouldn't be merged into the kernel tree itself, right? They would be written as modules. I doubt any of the core developers would feel comfortable reviewing Rust code at this time.

I’m pretty sad that it took a long time to solve this. I know there was a lot of work put into bringing Firefox back up to snuff, but this single issue seems to have caused a lot of trouble. This Bugzilla link is light grey for me, so I’ve visited it before, most likely a year or two ago. Since then I’ve been running Firefox with the gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque flag set to false, which doesn’t even cause any issues aside from sharp corners on browser windows, and HTTP auth prompts having a black background instead of a nice macOS blur. That was the best workaround available, one I almost wish they could have made some compromise to enable by default in the meantime. I’m glad it’s been sorted now, but this seemed like it should have been a release blocker to me when I first started switching back to Firefox during the Quantum betas.

"Many states have laws now that prohibit operating any sort of handheld device while driving" I don't believe you, otherwise most uber drivers, food delivery drivers and taxi drivers would be getting pulled over by the police.
> (apkmirror) We're especially concerned about security, given how dangerous downloading apps from third-party sources can be, so we go out of our way to manually review and vet every APK that hits the site.

Kudos. I wonder why PlayProtect didn't catch this? On one hand project-zero does stupendously well and on the other a project like PlayProtect fails at checks that an untrusted third-party routinely does. It can't be incompetence? It can't be blind reliance on AI?

Android has a 2B install base, and security will quickly turn into an unprecedented nightmare as more and more people get exposed to scamware, spyware, scareware, malware for the first time. This is not even factoring privacy encroaching viral apps like Helo, ShareChat et al that have in some cases 100M+ installs.
It seems like a small pivot in their model. Before they sold cheap access to programmatic telephony and now they sell access to customer-valued telephony. Assuming there’s some stick against abuse (e.g. company verification + response to complaints about the purpose tag) then Twilio can profit by doing good.

> I agree that would be nice, it's just not possible in a free market. Is there any country where everyone lives comfortably working full time at any job?

I mean, except for historical edge cases, we have minimum wage and social welfare programs in Germany that can be used to supplement income if it's really not enough to drag you over the poverty line. While it is by no means perfect and there of course still is poverty and people requiring multiple jobs, if you work 40 hours you can rely on full social benefits, pay into your pension fund and at least live some form of life. The US isn't really a posterchild of how to treat employees w.r.t. wages, vacation, health care, ... the question of "everyone living comfortably" seems weird, of course not. How a society handles their poor/low-income earners is no black and white question, there's a huge range between giving corporations free reign and at least trying to improve living conditions for the majority of citizens.
Public transit in the U.S. could benefite greatly from privatization.

In the U.S. we don't nationalize heavy or large industries because the President lacks the power for it (see the Steel Cases), Congress mostly won't bother, and the States have to compete with each other, so they know better. But the cities, oh boy, the cities love nationalizing, and what have they nationalized? Transit. NYC's subways were built and operated by private companies until around WWII, when after twenty years of starving them of fare increases, the city finally acquired them. NYC used to have great trolleys and buses, but now its bus system is no good, not in comparison to, say, Buenos Aires' bus system.

I mentioned Buenos Aires. The bus system there is privately owned and operated, and it is fantastic. In Argentina the federal government is extremely powerful, so over the years they've nationalized (and privatized, and nationalized, ...) lots of things, while the provinces and cities have little power. When a government nationalizes enterprises, it tends to nationalize the ones that capture its imagination/attention -the big ones-, and the bigger the government, then bigger their targets. So the bus system in Buenos Aires gets spared because it's small potatoes to the central government. Meanwhile, in NYC, where only the City has the power and inclination to nationalize anything (the State and the Feds don't or don't bother), all they get to nationalize is... city-level enterprises -- and public transit fits that bill. What they did not nationalize in NYC, they regulated (taxis!).

This pattern repeats all over the U.S., and so most everywhere you go in the U.S., if there's public buses, they run no more often than every 20 or 30 minutes at rush hour, no more often than every hour otherwise, and not at all over night.

If you want better public transit, privatize it. Let the market go nuts and see how it goes.
This sort of construction is reminiscent of topic-prominent languages, e.g. Japanese, but English is a subject-prominent language and phrasing it that way would sound awkward to a native speaker.

I read the statement and to me, the future progressive seemed to be the most apt way to phrase it. When I tried to find examples to illustrate why, it occurred to me that the future progressive predominates when delivering bad news. For example:

"Unfortunately, we won't be renewing our contract with you"

or

"We regret to inform you that we will be going with another candidate"

Changing those to the simple future makes them sound much harsher to my ears, so I would venture that the progressive is a mechanism for softening the impact.
Strongly (but respectfully) disagree with a lot of this!

This is related to current fairness-in-AI discussions. In many cases the basic problem is ML systems leverage correlations for making causal decisions. Here, there is a huge ethical difference between scoring a person based on "is this a good essay" and "do the features of this essay correlate with features of good essays". Just like there is a huge fairness and discrimination difference between "is this person qualified for a loan" and "do the features of this person correlate with features of people who qualify for loans" (algorithmic redlining). Your last sentence has a big discrimination/fairness issue also, since you are testing even more for parental income and parental free time.

Go-Jek has been huge for us as holiday rental managers in Bali. But lately there seems to be some sort of racket by drivers:

Example for Go-send (sending a package):
"I have motorbike problem please can you cancel".

A minute after cancelling I get a message on WhatsApp:
"Hey fixed my motorbike, still need?". Same thing with food orders.

Example for the Go-food:
"Hey I'm at the restaurant, the phone is down. Can you cancel order? I will do manually".

Obviously the restaurant and the driver gets the full customer payment this way. Go-jek gets zero. This depends on the customer cancelling as otherwise the drivers rating takes a hit.
