Agreed about privacy, but the "Mobile phones continue to work during a disaster" is a very optimistic view.

It was no a disaster, far from it. In Belgium, few years ago, a fire under a bridge broke an bunch of fibers from the main telco operator.

Result on a region of about 200,000 inhabitants:

- no radio (on my usual station), first thing I noted that morning.
- no internet
- no TV (comes via internet)
- no cell phone coverage
- no land-line either
- emergency calls impossible (by cell-phone or land-line)

This started early in the morning and was only solved in the afternoon for most people.

Amazing that the monopoly taking a 30% cut doesn't feel like it has to resort to selling user data. I wonder if app makers on a free and transparent platform would act more ethically?

Matt Levine once (or twice..) ripped me apart :(
Its been cited 155 times. Which directly contradicts the pointless, obviously false claim that its been 'suppressed'. Combined with the paranoia about downvote reasons, and I suspect a troll.

Elon Musk makes stupid statements with confidence all the time. You cant just say "he's joking" in hindsight for everything he's wrong about.
The journal (Interdisciplinary Toxicology) is on both lists of predatory publishers I just checked. So it's about at trustworthy as a blog post.
> It seems like a lot of the tech innovation of this decade revolve around enabling scale?

sick and tired of reading about containers k8s etc. Those are google's scale problems, not of the revolutionizng company that is starting today. Scale just made centralization easier.

One question i have is whether in the past 10 years, due to the advent of too much javascript / virtualizations / taxing UIs, inefficient programming languages the compute requirements has increased drastically, increasing tech's footprint for no particular gain.
try 90. if it's 80 degrees i rejoice and turn the aircon off...
Just like programming in general.
The Model X is considerably heavier, and in most configurations also has much more rapid acceleration. It'd likely be more dangerous to pedestrians. The reason I'm comparing to the Model 3 is because that's how far down you have to go in Tesla's range to find something as light as the Macan. (Oddly enough, the Kona Electric which is technically an SUV does seem to be a similar weight - probably because SUV is such a broad marketing term that it includes relatively small cars.)
Google has an effective monopoly on search engine market - you _can't realistically_ block google from scraping your website. They have this power and they are abusing it.

Also robots.txt is bullshit, if a person can access a public website why automated script shouldn't - technically speaking it's the same thing.
call me crazy but why dont they just fire it off into space... ahaha!
> Is a fact also that radioactivity is bioaccumulable.

This is a very vague and inaccurate statement. Some radioactive substances bioaccumulate, while others do not.

For example, caesium -137 could be a problem for bioaccumulation, but tritium is not.

> I never understood why CPUs were not running at max clockspeed by default.

Pretty sure the machines were usually shipped in "turbo" configuration.

> Was it because some applications were clock dependant?

Lots.

The original PC CPU (8088?) ran at 4.7MHz or something. Lots of early games (not only games but that was very obvious for them) were developed with a "fixed hardware" mindset and would rely on busy loop and CPU clock for the "game clock". So when you got a faster CPU the entire game would speed up.

Things got funky on an 8MHz 268 and outright screwy on a 386 or 486 (whose latter models reached 100MHz).
That doesn't seem to explain anything. The higher-dimensional space isn't low-resolution. We don't live in a flickery monochrome universe?
Sure. Each aug is a clip-path partial. That is, a series of points meant to be put inside a clip-path: polygon(...here...); stored in custom properties.

All augs, by position, store their partial in the same internal variable. (--aug-_TlPath and --aug-_BPath for example).

So <div augmented-ui="tl-clip"> would store in the --aug-_TlPath a partial polygon path that draws the simple clip shape on the top left corner. Other augs in the tl position would do the exact same.

Then, to actually perform the clip, you use an executable option (exe for simplicity) like so: <div augmented-ui="tl-clip exe">

That executable option creates a clip-path: polygon(var(--aug-_TlPath), ...); on the element which combines all the partial paths into a single final path. They're applied clockwise from tl on.

Each partial is packed with calc() for every point, math based on the size options available for the position/aug, and sets up a lot of other internals. (like corners leave behind a variable for where they start/end so augs on the edge can find the mid point and center itself between the corners)

These vars are all applied to the same one element so even though the vars are set up in separate rules, they all have visibility with each other. With appropriate defaults in the custom properties, eg var(--aug-_TlPath, 0 0) this enables a pick-and-choose sort of plugin system for each partial.

In total there are 3 clip paths created. One for the element itself, one for the inside edge of the border (that loops back around and outside the element, creating a frame), and one for the inset.

Each aug in each position is responsible for providing all 3 paths. Each layer inward also degrades or compounds its size based on border width and inset distance respectively so a constant border and gap width are drawn the whole way around.

...That's pretty much it.

Oh and the automatic elliptical border radius fallback for pre-chromium Edge and iOS < 11 does the exact same thing with corner aug data but instead of making a clip-path, it makes a border-radius rule.

happy to clarify any point you're interested in!

That's because React is a UI library, not a monolithic batteries-included framework. Amazing to me how often this is misunderstood. React's relatively narrow focus is one of its strengths.
I fail to see how this company could survive a recession. The first thing companies do during a recession is reduce their headcount. Less headcount means less desks required.
It’s a visual metaphor, the ballerina represents the language and they are supporting / comforting the programmer. I’d say its pretty corny, especially when a bunch of literal engineers need it explained to them, but it’s not just a random picture of a back rub
Oh really? I always thought it would mainly be an image container like Dicom, which is in practice abused to exchange text just as well. Haven't had the pleasure to work with HL7, I was just tormented by Dicom and have always been told that HL7 is just the American version of it.
I've heard that advice as well, but I have a hard time explaining how it would be all that important. PDFs are editable, after all, you'd just have to spend a few minutes looking up a tool. So that would just cut out the absolute laziest or most incurious of scammers, right? How much value could there really be in that?
I wonder how other SoftBank businesses like ARM will be impacted.

I don't think many investors dispute the ~$28b valuation that Softbank paid for ARM.
I think california taxpayers should be treated fairly. Amazing how rent in SF is higher than what these drivers make, and the state solution is to make sure they pay more taxes.
Depended on the implementation. Some turbo buttons were wired to run at low clock when pressed, others to run at "real" clock when pressed.

That's why they often had some sort of LED or display (2x7 segments).
One of the crimes propagated from that issue was, Intel deliberately crippled the data-move instruction because folks who shipped lots of software (OK Microsoft) used it for timing. So as CPUs increased by an order of magnitude, the one-byte ultra-fast data move opcodes become the slowest way to move data. A crime against humanity.

For this reason I'd asked Intel (as a senior programmer at one of Intel's largest CPU chip consumers) for a fixed-rate timer register when they made the 386 e.g. 1MHz free-running counter regardless of CPU speed. While they did implement other requested features (breakpoint registers) somebody screwed up the timer feature and made it full-clock-speed and accessible only thru a privileged instruction. Thus useless for applications.
Except that Christian factions has stopped using that excuse for killing each other?

Would it really be in IBM's interest to kill (or soft-kill) CentOS? I thought the reason RedHat had embraced it is that it kept more folks/companies in the mind-space of RedHat: if they weren't going to make money from CentOS users then at least those users wouldn't move to the outer edge of Canonical's sales funnel by going with Ububtu Server.

Maybe IBM sees this differently.
Imagine you are a bank or investment firm or hedge fund or VC. You want to do business with person A, I shall call them “Alice.”

Alice says to you, right up front, “I need to make one billion dollars, or I look for a different partner.”

Are you going to accuse Alice of being greedy, when your entire business consists of making money? You don’t cure the sick, or bring the Internet to rural communities, or manufacture safe transportation, or serve healthy food. You just make money.

So you say, “Fine, Alice, but a billion dollars is a lot of money.” Alice says, “How much do you need to make, such that my dream can come true?”

So you work out how you can make ten billion, while Alice makes one billion.

Now the conversation becomes, “How does Alice take her one billion out of the business, tweaking the knobs for risk, tax advantage, estate planning, and so forth?”

You bought into Alice making a billion dollars, so everything else is just details about when she gets the various bits of her billion.
Birds are like the dinosaurs in Jurassic park because those fictional dinosaurs were modelled on birds.

Linux Permissions: An Introduction to Chmod
What are these possibilities? You only get IP and client side information that client is _willingly_ sending to you. So if a script/user/bot/etc tells it's Firefox from 1.2.3.4 then all you know that it's a request from 1.2.3.4 that says it's Firefox. You can ask it to run Javascript code but that's beyond classic web interaction and then again you need to trust the client.

This interaction is impossible to be trustless thus every client can only be served based on their IP or some convoluted, hack exchange that is cat-and-mouse game at best.
Catchy doesn't mean marketable or hospitable. You don't/won't go out saying you love Ballerina. :P

Compared to dumping metric tons of toxic gases and particles right next to where we live/work/sleep as well as moving 2 tons vehicles to displace 1 person ? Using 50% of the streets to park cars that move 30 min per days ?

Just because we're used to something doesn't make it less insanely dumb. ICE / personal cars would never be allowed if created today.
I think people who came away from that video thinking Elon won don't understand the Chinese sense of humour. Jack Ma was trolling the shit out of Elon ("Alibaba AI", "the future is not IQ or EQ, but Love Quotient"), and not only did Elon take the bait, he seemed like he was trying to one-up Ma's ridiculousness. "Protect the light of consciousness!". Musk even managed to mention aliens at one stage. To me it seemed like the kind of video someone might show their children: "Don't do drugs, or else you'll end up publically making a fool of yourself like Musk did!".
You forgot the first part:

Sorry if I am a bit frank, but I simply do not believe you when you say you have users who prefer the "hybrid DAG mixed with stages". That's a bit like Microsoft saying that there are users who enjoy the 255 character path limit. My use case isn't an "improved DAG model", it is a DAG model without the pointless restrictions introduced by broken legacy.

In the DAG model (which really is just the model implemented by every sane build tool ever made), stages give you no extra expressive power, they only add arbitrary restrictions to that model and aren't useful at all.
"Stack" is the name of a product; it wasn't a generic reference to "the Haskell stack".

LinkedIn’s public facing content is exactly that: public. This ruling merely says accessing public content isn’t hacking and so LinkedIn cannot use the CFAA as discriminatory weapon to limit access to that public facing content.

If LinkedIn wants to block access they need to do so by another means that isn’t described as hacking.

It doesn't matter if it's deliberate action or not, cars do not drive themselves into accidents. The same logic, the car not driver, used for subject of the ban. Ban reckless driving and dangerous behavior.

SUV ban won't stop accidents like these. At best they will achieve less injuries because the cars being drove into pedestrians gonna get smaller.

The syntax of lisp is objectively bad from a UX perspective since it doesn't properly separate different kinds of objects. Our brains are very good at parsing symbols and very bad at parsing text, and lisp forces you to parse text to understand the structure of the code. That is great for computers to parse and generate since the structure is uniform, which makes lisp great for meta-programming, but it also makes it a horrible language for humans.

Any language which PL enthusiasts considers elegant since you can do so much with few abstractions will be a really bad language in practice since humans prefers different kinds of code to have different syntax and look different.
You'll never get back where you started since most cars are parked in front of an office / house / whatever 95% of the time using space for no reason whereas taxis are always moving.
This article says 10 euro: https://www.expatica.com/fr/employment/employment-law/french....

There are actually 4.43 weeks in a month. The shorter French work week also hurts here. Over a third of minimum wage workers in the US work full time, which makes their monthly salary about $1,950 per month, or 1,765 Euro per month. (15% higher than French minimum wage.) There is serious debate in France about getting rid of the 35 hour work week: https://www.france24.com/en/20170413-french-presidential-can....

Also, the US has a substantial tax credit for low earners (EITC). But that’s a bit far afield from the point OP was making, which is that working people shouldn’t have to draw on public welfare benefits. European minimum wages are low enough where companies are still “subsidized” by benefits paid to low income workers.
If the taxi service is free, there will be no fares, and no incentive to drive faster.
Oh, if you're not talking about medical data, then yes, personal identifying information is everywhere in America society. Counties have public lists of property owners, states have public lists of business owners, almost all court proceedings have online dockets and public access, etc etc. Just take a walk to city hall or where the local area keeps records and you'll find PII on basically everyone who lives there.
Yeah, I guess jokes don't always work in this format on the Internet.

If I remember correctly, Invisible War was so bad that the entire team was fired. I've played the original several times. It's a classic. I wouldn't regard any of the supposed sequels as sequels. I played IW once. It was hot garbage.

I haven't tried HR and beyond, but from gameplay videos it doesn't look as though they've captured the spirit of the original.
Many people in healthcare in general, not just health insurance, would be paid less or made redundant in a "universal" system.
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, and the other two in the trilogy too. Hard, but accessible. I've never read a series so dense with cool and believable ideas that are unlike much I had come across before.

The Reality Dysfunction by Pete F. Hamilton (and the rest of the series). If you want something a bit more traditional in form. More sex, violence and so on.

Ach, loads of others. Roadside Picnic really stuck with me too. Though might not be what most people would call 'hard sci-fi', not sure.
Agreed that picking the right tool for the job is essential. But you might want to revisit your assumptions about the benefits of baking in such a hard separation of "frontend" and "backend". See Gatsby for example.

Very pretty graphics and a good way to see a complete listing of products they offer.

I fear that GitLab has simply bitten off more than they can chew. They try to implement so many features that many things feel half-baked. Ultimately - those features that aren't finished are useless to paid or enterprise subscribers.

GitHub has been successful because they focused on doing one thing very well. Now that they have established market dominance, they are slowly introducing new features - but in a way that makes them feel like useful pro-level products right away.

I don't know how GitLab recovers from that other than continuing to march forward. If I were them, I would stem the tide of new product introduction and focus on building out what is already there. It's a very ambitious roadmap they have given the number of features they want to implement.
Oddly enough, it seems like tech is closer to doctors in Germany than in the US. Just about every Hausarzt (general practitioner) and every internist and ob/gyn has an ultrasound machine in their practice and uses it themselves. When I've been in the emergency room, the doctor does the ultrasound, not a technician, though nurses set up and run EKGs.

And it's all amazingly cheap compared to the US, even as a private pay patient. An overnight hospital stay is about 200 EUR, including the attending doctor's fee.
