In this case a smoke test on such a Mac could have sufficed, yes.

But even when I have a QA team, which is less and less often, I like the devs to be involved in setting up stuff like this. QA is often not so good at engineering robust tests. But if they could write better code than we can they’d make more money as devs. So I’m still not letting the devs off the hook.

This class of error comes down to our chronic insistence on using stringly typed APIs for path/URI manipulation. It’s tantamount to a SQL injection attack, but with less data in the “query” instead of more. You should not be assembling file paths for destructive writes or deletes by string concatenation. But this is on almost nobody’s radar.

Is anyone else in this thread advocating for a change in software design? Mostly we are all blaming Google for fucking up. This is the headspace everyone but PHP was in for SQL fifteen years ago.
All of those things are intimately connected.

If jQuery were just as fast to work with and had the same bug count, it wouldn't be harder to maintain. It takes time to work out what jQuery code is doing which means it takes longer to modify the code. That difference in readability also leads to a higher chance of bugs due to misunderstanding something.

The one case where this does not hold true is when your site only needs a few click handlers or something else that is simple (and in those cases, you should probably be using jQuery -- or just the normal DOM now that compatibility is less of an issue). But that is not what modern JS app devs deal with.

The entire reason for using Handlebars on top of jQuery was to move toward declarative programming in order to reduce bugs and speed up development time. React was more declarative, functional, and native (use JS builtins instead of embedding a turing-complete DSL) along with also being massively faster. React was marketed more on performance than anything else at first, but that was mostly because Handlebars and backbone had already solved the worst parts of jQuery in large codebases -- procedural UI and holding state in the DOM.

The paper has no problem there at all. Many prior papers have demonstrated that neural network models significantly outperform non-neural network models in transportation forecasting like https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.01926, http://www-scf.usc.edu/~yaguang/papers/aaai19_multi_graph_co...
As this paper has chosen the state-of-the-art neural network models as baselines, it has already done enough and decent jobs on choosing baselines.
That’s a meaningless statement.

> Federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) are public-private partnerships which conduct research for the United States Government. They are administered in accordance with U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 48, Part 35, Section 35.017 by universities and corporations. There are currently 42 recognized FFRDCs that are sponsored by the U.S. government.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federally_funded_research_and_...

FFRDCs have a special legal ability to provide “neutral” input on technical matters. In theory Congress could hire Mitre or other FFRDCs to perform this service for them. That might take some tweaks to the law because FFRDC contracts seem to be aligned to specific executive agencies.

Personally, I’m a big believer in Federal in-sourcing combined with civil service reform. Using contractors for public interest positions, even contractors with special designations like FFRDCs, clouds the issue with contract management.

Of course, it’d be very difficult to design Civil Service reform properly and politically impossible to implement it, so creative contracting is probably the way to go for now.
YES!
I'm going back to college to finish my degree. I'm seeing this a lot and it's sort of difficult to get used to.

So the thing is, in some classes I think it could be totally fine. But in others I'm not so sure. For example I'm taking the statistics 1 and 2 to brush up. The first one was given by an instructor that's an enormous inverted classroom type. I aced the class and the thing is it feels like I didn't learn a single thing. I can barely tell you anything about statistics. It moved sooo slowly and we spent so much time at every tiny step. He'd talk for 10 minutes and make us get together with our groups to talk about what he just talked about. I'm now in the 2nd class and honest to god it feels like I've learned and retained more the first 2 days than the previous 11 weeks. The new professor is more "inverted-lite" almost as if she was told by the dept they need to do this (from my understanding the schools push it hard) so the group stuff still happens but it's a lot less frequently and we're always working on our own thing and not having the group turn in the assignment.

I can see how it can work. Especially maybe with the Arts or soft science classes. With a talented instructor and implemented correctly. But honestly it feels like a cost savings thing. A method to have larger classes by making the students learn for themselves. If this way really works for some people then I wonder if a 100% online course might serve some of them better.
We know for sure that at least the radar from E-2C Hawkeye plane in the area that had returned was confiscated by plainclothes officials who landed on the Nimitz via helicopter.
A big question is how much these recommendation engines have led to us surrounding ourselves with the "same old" stuff, from music to political opinions.

For running, I've gone exclusively to the "SmartWool" type shirts. To me they're just as cool when it's warm as the give-away nylon shirts you get at races, and I can get the stench out that simply refuses to leave synthetic shirts. Works well in the wet, and when I was bike commuting through Seattle winters I'd probably be wool all the way to the outer layer. Back in the day, wool cycle shorts were common, but I've not looked for them recently and just stuck to the usual spandexey shorts.
I know “I don’t trust the government” is a very popular trope in the US, but I am a bit curious how the solution to this lack of trust is always diminsishing government power instead of say trying to figure out how to properly compartmentalize or divide it?

As somebody who grew up in the german language area (Central Europe) and dealt with Nazi history and extremism for half his life, I am quite sure that a too strong government without proper division of forces is equally dangerous to a weak government that can be taken over too easily by political movements like Germany was in the late 20s.

The whole history of how the Nazis came into power is really something people should study, because I am convinced similar things could easily happen today in multiple democratic nations.

Power is after all fluid and if you weaken your elected government just enough it will flow somewhere else. And if you are unlucky that somewhere else is even more out of the control of the citizen than a government would be.
Okay, but you are conflating moral harm/duties with tangible physical harm. The first one is arguable, the second one (pollution of air, etc) isn't.
I feel much the same. D.C. and even a lot of political positions are a bit divorced from common life. In my experience it is seen as a lack of knowledge of the cost of things, and the hardships of most of the US.
I don't think he is insecure. The author admits that she barely talked to him during the time he wanted the surgery. It seems equally likely that he was secure while wanting the height extensions to get a leg up in life. You don't have to be insecure to want something better for yourself.
Your view of modern republicans is outdated. Many Republicans are non-religious like myself and align themselves closer to the views of the founding fathers. We simply see the rampant corruption in government and propose it is a better solution to limit governmental power as opposed to increasing it.

If I were to paint democrats in a similar manner they would all be bike lock wielding liberal arts professors and that would be unfair.

what happens at the end of such a trip, when the propellant is exhausted, and can no longer evaporatively cool the core?

it has to contain enough propellant to come back to Earth orbit to refuel the propellant coolant?

even if the core is throttled to its lowest levels, it will still produce heat in the vacuum of space? or will radiative cooling balance the remaining production of heat?
I think we just got stuck in endless loops of tier 1 support people trying to run through checklists over the phone and then again via email. It was essentially the business class version of "Have you tried switching it off and on again?" repeated seemingly endlessly, bouncing from one support tech to another. Clearly several of the techs didn't even understand that they also sold these laptops with Linux on them and that's what we had.

Eventually, literally months later, someone finally seemed to escalate it to a person with the authority to send out a technician, who as mentioned before then fixed the actual problem in barely any time at all. We were on the point of just writing off the machine by then, as the amount of time we were wasting dealing with Dell was in danger of costing more than just buying a new box, and at least we would been reasonably confident of having a working system the next day in that case!
I've seen some people asking for boosts on facebook, and my circle isn't even that tech heavy. So people are gaming it, but it's hard to say how effective they are.

>I wouldn't anyway because I know precisely why there are separate bathrooms for men and women: because men usually pee on the seat.

Do you realize there are some places where they don't have separate bathrooms, and men and women both go into the same restroom?

In a civilized society, men who pee on the seat accidentally would clean it up before leaving the stall.

Of course, this wouldn't work too well in America, where people are too selfish to bother cleaning up after themselves, and where they have ridiculous gaps in the partitions between stalls with very little privacy. In more civilized nations, the restrooms have far more privacy and people clean up after themselves.
It adds friction, but for those who jones for that rush, I don't think it'll be anything but a speed-bump. But it may keep future users from getting hooked. Maybe.

In memory. MMO servers store all world state in memory, and each server has a capacity usually in the 10,000 player range.

You'd be impressed how fast computers actually are -- 10,000 objects isn't actually that many. Since the server knows where all clients know, the server knows what the client can see, and the server only has to update the client with relevant information, like the 100 closest players to it.

Usually, you keep all the state in memory and save at specific points/actions to a database. Then, not all state is shared with all thousand players, but only within a visible range. And then, not every kind of state is shared with other players. In the end it’s manageable with simple TCP or custom UDP connections.

I hear that this is something they are looking into adding support for
It is becoming Kotlin/Bigdata fairly quickly.
Clients in MMOs don't need the entire state, just the state in a small area around the player's location. Some times it works like chat channel with a limited number of maximum players. When the limit is reached, player are put into different channels, so the state of one channel doesn't need to communicated to other players.

It'll absolutely make the experience nicer (no one wants to see that Aunt Doreen just "liked" Grandpa Bob's cancer announcement), but I don't know if it will make those who feel bad about likes feel better.
Another approach is to do the opposite - always store all local variables in the heap, and rely on scalar replacement of aggregates to put them back onto the stack where possible. This is what I do in my Ruby interpreter.

That’s definitely not compatible with a single-pass though!

The fact the consumer didn’t do any due diligence doesn’t change the situation. Perhaps the situation should change - but somebody has to lose when promises can’t be fulfilled.

As for dine and dash there is a difference when there is no intent to pay. If somehow between when you ordered and when it came time to pay you declared bankruptcy then the resteraunt is SOL. The short timeframe just means its very unlikely you had intent to pay.

For bankrupt companies you will see attempts to limit future expenses (i.e. cancelling employee trips etc) but the fact that there is a continual stream of transactions makes it much messier. It is fraud if the company racks up large numbers of unusual expenses just before bankruptcy is declared.

> Pretending that there is some sort of subjectivity to this discussion is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. You keep trying to shift this back to opinions and points of view, which I find is a common tactic when discussing animals, but we're not talking about anything subjective.

Well, I think this answer is even more condescending. A discussion from here is not possible since you entirely deny every other opinion on the topic and assert yourself the objective truth. You ignore the various aspects of the problem, for example professional hunters. A quick search reveals philosophers discussion the question and coming to different or complex answers that depend on various factors (most importantly: why does the hunter hunt?), so I can't be the only one not buying into your line of thought. I originally was honestly interested in you opinion, but it seems there's no depth to it. You can't even defend it, you're just reinforcing that you're right.

EDIT: since there's another answer in a similiar spirit there's at least one other opinion that rejects or doubts your statement.

EDIT2: An interesting example to reinforce my arguments is that the statement "women, who have abortions, don't respect human live, because they obviously do not" is seen as trivial by some but rejected by others. These things do not live in a mathmatical world where axioms are stated, agreed and theorems derived using proofs and pure logic. So one talking about those topics can never assert the obvious truth to his statements. There are no right or wrongs in philosophy and ethics (in a mathmatical sense), just statements the people agree on.

[Ford] slowly drew out from the wallet a single and insanely exciting piece of plastic that was nestling amongst a bunch of receipts.

It wasn’t insanely exciting to look at. It was rather dull in fact. It was smaller and a little thicker than a credit card and semi-transparent. If you held it up to the light you could see a lot of holographically encoded information and images buried pseudo-inches deep beneath its surface.

It was an Ident-i-Eeze, and was a very naughty and silly thing for Harl to have lying around in his wallet, though it was perfectly understandable. There were so many different ways in which you were required to provide absolute proof of your identity these days that life could easily become extremely tiresome just from that factor alone, never mind the deeper existential problems of trying to function as a coherent consciousness in an epistemologically ambiguous physical universe. Just look at cash point machines, for instance. Queues of people standing around waiting to have their fingerprints read, their retinas scanned, bits of skin scraped from the nape of the neck and undergoing instant (or nearly instant - a good six or seven seconds in tedious reality) genetic analysis, then having to answer trick questions about members of their family they didn’t even remember they had, and about their recorded preferences for tablecloth colours. And that was just to get a bit of spare cash for the weekend. If you were trying to raise a loan for a jetcar, sign a missile treaty or pay an entire restaurant bill things could get really trying.

Hence the Ident-i-Eeze. This encoded every single piece of information about you, your body and your life into one all-purpose machine-readable card that you could then carry around in your wallet, and therefore represented technology’s greatest triumph to date over both itself and plain common sense.
He probably chose to do that. You can't force someone to physically appear in your store. What if they're disabled?
I think it depends who you're getting from those companies. We've seen a lot of Googlers standing up and publicly denouncing the company's practices. I suspect a lot of people would be inclined to regulate the crap out of their old employers if they were sufficiently divested. But if you're getting people who want to basically rotate to the government for a couple years and rotate back to Big Tech, that's not going to go great for us.
Wow, that’s a beast of a laptop. I just configured one and the cost isn’t all that different from my 18mo old iMac Pro :) I have to imagine that the battery life isn’t great given the non-mobile parts, and that it must weigh a ton?

I’m enjoying the combo of a powerful workstation where I work most of the time, and then a thin & light portable device for when I need portability. For me that combo works well and hits the right trade offs, especially the silence I get to enjoy.

I’m also remembering that Apple ships the same SSD setup in the newer MacBook Pro machines, which weren’t yet out when I bought this iMac Pro. Definitely nothing unique or unusual about that speed anymore!
Having no alt and having alt="" do not produce the same results to the audiences relying on those attributes to perceive images. The W3C's tutorial on decorative images (found at https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/) says to use alt="" to mark an image decorative, as some (prominent) screen readers will read the image's file name when no alt attribute is set.

>>What difference does it make if someone willingly gives up your personal information, or someone is tricked into giving up your information?

We must really have gone off the deep end here, because I can no longer tell who is trolling and who is posting for real.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and answer your question in good faith: whether you willingly give your information, or are tricked into giving it, makes a world of difference.

The only thing in common between the way the Obama campaign utilized Facebook data and the way Cambridge utilized the data is that, in both cases, the users sharing the data (whether willingly, or without realizing) also unwittingly provided access to their friend's data.

That's where the similarities end.

But no, the real reason most people were angry at Cambridge Analytica is that it (quite possibly illegally) obtained the data from Aleksandr Kogan, one of the researchers in Cambridge University who developed the original app. Furthermore, when Facebook noticed this and told them to delete the data, they did not.

THAT is the real scandal.
