Yup.

Although I'd like to add a typical issue when there's a small change in a large quantity.

Say time. If you measure time in microseconds, and use floats, your precision will be halved to 2 us in just 33.5 seconds. In 24 hours, the precision has detoriated to over 2 milliseconds. One famous example is the deadly Patriot missile bug: https://sdqweb.ipd.kit.edu/publications/pdfs/saglam2016a.pdf

> Furthermore, you're more likely to use nastier equations (logarithms and exponents are particularly bad for precision), so single-precision could well introduce error with real-world consequences.

Some other ones are iteration and simply long computation chains introducing systematic error.

What do you mean? How is integral over half R more powerful than integral over whole R?

Yea, I guess that's a good point.
Let's see. I don't agree with many of the points.

5G Network? Every phone will have it in 3 years.

>1TB storage? In Android land you can already buy a 1TB microSD card and stick it into your phone resulting in >1TB total storage. Are many people doing that?

Fingerprint reader in the screen: Who cares if its below the display or on the back of the phone? It's a rather small improvement.
There is a setting to disable keyboard shortcuts in jira. It don't seem to do anything, but at least there is a setting for it. My guess is that the jira ticket to implement that didn't include what the setting should do, only that the setting was required
Like other states with income taxes, California deducts state income taxes from employee wages just as the Federal government does. Yes, as a contractor, you are supposed to do that yourself, but enforcement is an issue and I assume at least some Uber drivers (like some taxi drivers, bartenders, and others) have been underreporting, so this should bring in more tax revenue to both the state and federal governments. Not sure the drivers are going to benefit from that, but it's a real thing.

There are also immigration issues -- Uber will need to collect documentation so that workers can set their W2, and even though CA bans requiring businesses to use e-verify, Uber does business in many states and this would fall under interstate commerce concerns, and the federal government requires it for some border states and also for any business that sells to the federal government, so there is gonna be a whole host of immigration issues around e-verify, right in time for the election season. (E-verify is one of those things that is wildly popular, supported by both a majority of Democrats and Independents as well as the GOP, but hated by CA legislators and some in the business community, so expect this to set the stage for an e-verify showdown and battles over executive orders in 2020).

Then there are all the issues about whether Uber is going to limit hours, require working hours, or otherwise regulate their workforce a lot more than they currently are. Here by Uber, I mean all the taxi driving apps/companies, of course. Will Uber just "fire" drivers that don't generate enough fares to justify a set minimum wage? Will it no longer be allowed for drivers to come down from Sacramento and work in SF? Will Uber limit lunch breaks to a certain length, and force the app to be turned on during pre-arranged hours? A lot depends on how Uber responds.
The article is still click-bait.
There was no plan to assassinate Orwell. There was a plan to arrest him and make him sign some confessions and/or maybe die in prison, but he was simply not important at that time. Just some foreigner, who fought for a marxist militia, not under Stalins control - and that was enough.

But by doing so, they created a powerful enemy. I believe animal farm and 1984 are due to their popularity a very big reason, bolschewism went down in the end.
It's possible that information which a person reads doesn't synthesise as well with other ideas and information once it's in the mind.

When you discuss something complex with a teacher in an interactive way, the teacher can probe for subtle gaps in your knowledge to make your understanding more complete.

With reading, you build a foundation of knowledge with many gaps and you just hope that they will consolidate over time but the foundation is weaker and so you can't synthesise that knowledge as well until those gaps are closed off through random learning events.

It requires a more flexible kind of intelligence and a modest personality to be able to constantly keep adjusting your old knowledge.
Such an overstatement is not honest and doesn't help to analyze the current political situation in Spain, nor helps to understand why the Civil War is a touchy subject.

Vox is a far-right party but it isn't a fascist one because they play under the Spanish Constitution rules.

Describing PP in that same political spectrum is a bad joke, the same kind you make when saying 'Spain has a disgraceful recent history of anti free-spech legislastion' (sic). Can you please give us any example? Any sentence? Any ource? Can you honestly say that you can't speak freely in Spain?

In the caricature you've drawn, it looks like the 'fascists' have all the power, keeping everyone with their mouths shut, but you need to take the whole picture, from far-right to far-left, and don't forget the disproportionate power of the regional nationalist parties.

The main point you forget is the interest of many parties to re-write History, being the Spanish Civil War one of their favorite subjects because, at the end, most of them were supporting a dictatorship, not a democracy. Or a Franco dictatorship, or a Stalin dictatorship, but none of them fighting for democracy or for the original spirit of the II Spanish Republic.
This is hardly possible. The whole idea of exceptions is that each function only deals with a subset. If no one does this, there's always a top-level handler that handles all. The default handler normally terminates the program, but it's totally possible to write a custom top-level handler that does something else. E.g. normally "out of memory" is an exception that causes a program to terminate, but in old Adobe Photoshop it was a routine situation that simply prompted the user to free some memory (by dropping the Undo, for example).

I agree that the concept of the top-level handler and customization should be more visibly documented.
But we're the smart ones engaged in intellectually stimulating conversation, while everyone else is just a vain, endorphin-addled monkey in a Skinner box sharing cat memes, links and mundane trivialities. /s
If you do not know Ruby, it is neither easy nor fast. You have to learn a brand new language and Ruby is quite a departure from C-like languages that most people are familiar with. Then you have to learn Rails and its conventions.

It is a huge mountain of work you have ahead yourself if you are a newbie in both domains.

Sure you might be able to slap together a simple CRUD app following a tutorial but truly knowing what you are doing will take months, if not years. It is a huge investment.
Sure, and yet it's entirely different from solving hard problems.
> moving between states as hard as moving between EU countries

It depends on the country of origin, but for many, moving between EU countries is about as moving between states is now. There's some bureaucracy to deal with, but it's not like moving between states in the US is hassle free. Most US states require immigrants from other states get a local drivers license and local car registration, which requires multiple proofs of residence. Don't forget the nightmare of having to deal with two states' taxes (where applicable).
I agree with this, but when you get drained all day on mindless tasks, you want to go home and forget all that rather then jump straight into work again even if it's interesting own project

Duo supports TOTP and U2F, it also supports now touchID on new Macs which makes it fairly easy to use.

What they are saying is that every language runtime, even stricter ones, has its own safety implications and you have to consider them when writing the specs and the code.

Simply switching to a language with a stricter runtime may automagically take care of some simple cases, but no system is devoid of failure modes.

Overflows are classic sources of disastrous bugs (e.g. the infamous THERAC-25). Switching to a system that detects them and raises an exception is a step in the right direction, but you still have to handle the exception cases correctly. And in some cases (like the Ariane V), incorrectly handling an exceptional condition turns out to be worse than allowing it to happen.

I think some quants even skip the NLP part, and just trade based on the immediate reaction. ie. They detect a trump tweet. Entire stock index dips. they sell everything. or vice versa. why do the NLP work when thousands of other quants have already done it, and have just as good a latency as you?
I’d add: if you do pagination, do large pages instead of a huge number of small pages. It’s easy to scroll quickly through a fixed size page, it’s a pain in the ass to have to click through pages.
Does everyone here also drive a base model Honda Civic because “car hardware is done”? This is a luxury product and people upgrade because it’s fun and feels great to have the fastest phone and fanciest camera. It’s not that big a deal, and it’s definitely not a ripoff.
I suspect most people using those other social media sites don't feel such an urge. If anything, some people use it as their primary means of socializing, communicating and consuming media, which is unhealthy, but they do so because the medium is convenient, not because it drives them in some relentless pursuit of "likes."

Highly biased opinions... What about articles where access to all parts is needed, like scientific articles, manuals, reports, etc? And for the general public too, at least part of readers are able to concentrate on reading much longer than thru a couple of paragraphs.

> document the meetings behind decisions, document the rationale for cutting corners

... document the API, document the project goals, document the company values, document checklists and routines, document processes and personal instructions. DOCUMENT THE GOD DAMN HISTORY OF FAILURES AND INCIDENTS!

And then rely in job on all those documents, not on talks and experience or memory of some key engineers. It hurts when you start, people tend to blame all those unnecessary staff, but it pays off in so high rates later. Often it's possible to say if a company will be successful on long run only by seeing its documentation.
Even in some case scrolling back to the top makes you lose the progress. And that happens automatically when you do a Ctr-F and start typing, the matching of the first character you type will likely be at the top of the page.

The notch is a rather small issue that only affects looks. When the display is off, you don't see it. When the display is on, you usually look at the display, not the notch.

> The means they were able to do it through were likely rich family (no one here of course will say their family is rich) and high paying job ($300k+/yr). Both of which I am not in (for my position in my region). I'm at a startup. Watching my peers, who are not in companies like mine, just skyrocket in wealth is rather discouraging. It's even more harsh because it's usually a couple who are sky rocketing and I'm just sitting here with a SO who will never make anything substantial. Love them to bits but the lack of financial contribution is practically suicide here.

I don't see what is the problem here. That you'll buy a house a couple years later than some of your peers? That's life. Some people have cancer at two - not THAT's shitty. Waiting a couple years more to buy a house is just hilariously insignificant in comparison to anything serious.
Japan,S.Korea jointly tackle problem of social ‘shut-ins’
Small correction: Tiananmen protests started in part because of the death of one of the biggest reformist voices in the Polit Buro, Hu Yaobang. Other reformers were sidelined during the protests.

Basically, in the beginning many voices in the CCP and Deng Xiaoping himself were sympathetic to the protests, but as they dragged on and more radical voices gained ground with demands like opening the country and introducing free elections, the tides in the upper (and lower) branches of the CCP turned against the reformers.

It is also interesting to note that while the reformers have been mostly side-lined since then, and Xi especially is a hard-right hardliner, the party is still at least paying lip-service to reformers. - For example one of the key policy goals of the last 5-year plan was to continue to develop Hong Kong into a global financial centre and broadly liberalize the chinese economy.

The default out-of-box runtime can only handle one general scenario. The runtime designers choose to print the error message and terminate, and this seems to be the only sound option for default behavior. It's up to the developer to replace this default handler when the scenario differs that much.
As others have mentioned, software engineering is not a science, it's a craft strongly entangled with communication: not only requirements-to-product, but also product-to-the-next-developer.

I mean the notch is basically the symptom of having gone into anti-feature territory. Removal of headphone jack, removal of physical home button, removal of TouchID for face recognition that is much slower, removal of 3D Touch... the iPhone 20 at this rate will just be a slab of metal.

You touch on the two things that make me hate free to play games.

I'm native Sinhalese speaker, and we have many characters that were not included in Unicode up until 10 or so years ago. To "fix" this, we created different font files, so that when you type "w" in an En-US keyboard, the font glyph is "අ", which we pronounce "A" sound for. This worked out OK in place where we had control over the font. So rich text documents, this was less of a problem.

In web sites, however, these text become mess because they use regular fonts with correct glyph/code-point match. We just abuse the fonts to get the characters we needed.

When Sinhalese characters are in Unicode, we couldn't immediately translate them because you need to check if the fonts were using this botched font or not, and needed to do some serious replacing which is difficult because even with Unicode, we have diacritics and certain glyphs needed more than one unicode code-point to represent them.

One glorious regex replace, in theory, can perform the similar migration for Burmese as well, you just have to write it.
I take it you mean Uber? I find it hard to believe Slack has 27000 employees.

Anyway, as another commenter pointed out, on an enterprise scale I'm sure you can get a good deal. I can also imagine however that at that scale you'll want multiple Slack servers / instances - which would add cost given how slack charges per person, per server.

So there's a few alternatives then; self-hosted (some parties will offer enterprise customers the option to host an instance of their application on the customers' internal hardware), or rebuild it yourself. The latter one however takes a bit of math - how much is it going to cost to build, maintain and run it? It's easily underestimated.

And yet, it's also easy for people working in an engineering culture with nearly limitless engineering capacity to just build it themselves - motivations being "how hard can it be", and "I need something more challenging than tweaking this button for my employer to earn 0.1% more money on this particular feature". I've seen it happen far too often.
Just keep in mind, that unless one has very specific career goals (like a Manhatten top tier law firm or something else very selective) there is just no real evidence that a better school will end up getting you better income over your lifetime. And yes, that takes into account the "connections" that one might get at higher caliber institutions.
But at the end of the day it's not the opinion of a super-set of consumers that really matters. For owners of iPhones its whether the phone meets their own requirements and expectations that matters. Not whether huge tranches of non-iPhone owners agree with them or not.

I don't give a rat's butt whether 70% of consumers don't care about the features and characteristics of my phone. I care about them, and that's all that matters. Currently rocking a 6s which is serving me fine though.
I doubt many people are buying iPhones for extra privacy.
