No, I don’t think sewing opportunity for scammers to take advantage of others is better. I used to agree with you in my libertarian utopia stage as a uni freshman but
looked at things differently when I watched my tech unsavvy parents lose money to scams like subscription antivirus software that just played the same bullshit scanning
animation every time. “Personal choice” is probably the same justification the scammers have. To me it’s just naive. Power users can already use Android and bypass such constraints. Win/win.
I would expect sys.exit() to be more efficient since it skips the final GC and calls to finalizers. Sys is always already imported, so 'import sys' amounts to a dict lookup.

These are not the same semantically. It may or may not be practical for you to prove that your program is still correct if finalizers are skipped.
What Carriers Aren't Eager to Tell You About Texting (2008)
Very interested in this. Would like to try it out for an AI framework that combines knowledge graphs with word embeddings and expert systems, and although the Python ecosystem is the de facto standard (despite lack of safety and performance), and Rust seems theoretically the best, Swift seems to check all the boxes in terms of safety and expressiveness for me. Swift even has a relatively huge community, but it's so focussed on iOS stuff.

I know Chris Lattner did something with TensorFlow though.

Is anyone into this?
I still worry about DoorDashes security - someone has signed up for services with my email account - not an issue, I just will never verify them. But they had signed up for DoorDash, and I didn't realize it, and then I tried to sign up for the first time via the Android App with that same email account. I selected the email account to my surprise it immediately let me into the other persons account! They had ostensibly set up a password, but I didn't need it and could see their phone number and bits of their payment information. I sent in a support email for that one, and got the account closed, but still, not a great sign.

A guard statement requires you to actually handle the error, though. The exclamation mark will crash the app.

For anyone who wants a concrete experiment to challenge your ideas of just how complex nature is, try making a cell. Just one cell. From scratch with nothing but ions and proteins. If you find that to be achievable (there's likely a Nobel prize in it for you), try making one that divides. Now imagine that somehow an elephant can be encoded in the ions/proteins of just two cells. Humanity has never built anything that even comes close to such complexity. And then to imagine that ecosystems operate on the complex interactions between these immensely complex organisms.
if that's true, maybe we should just heating up the earth while it's going to be frozen, so we're actually doing our future generations a favor?
Poll: What language do you use for iOS development?
This comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21084327 got me curious. What language do you use for iOS development?

I think you are underselling yourself. Your knowledge in this area exceeds well over 90% of the market. For most people, effectively (as in, in practice) you have two choices - use FAANG services or don't use the internet.

Also, and I don't know this, but if I were to look at your service stack, are you telling me I could not find ANY google/amazon/cloudflare service or something that significantly relied on on them? I would be shocked to find out that's true (i've literally never seen it before) and in that case. the difference between you and a consumer is one of degrees.

Sorry, not trying to attack you but on HN i see a widespread "I can't believe how dumb people are selling out to google for nothing" mentality that makes no sense to me. If you use the internet at all, you use big tech services. Period. Some people don't like saying that, but it's still true.
It's nice that they packaged this as a powershell module since a lot of people that would use this may not be the type that wants to muck around with powershell. While it's nice more treats out of Microsoft for powerusers & linux users, I'm curious if it is or will ever keep people from jumping ship to Linux/Mac.

Right unless you routinely go on 500+ mile trips with a longer range Tesla or 400+ mile trips with the shorter range models there is no need for a gas car. I road trip a decent amount but I've released 4-5 hour drives aren't really an issue.

And of course those trips are possible you'd just need to stop 1-3 times for 10-15 mins (you charge faster at lower batter % vs fill up more range once). Now if you want to go 2x your battery range, then you actually start to have a mild inconvenience with charging time.
If You Liked This, You're Sure to Love That (2008)
> we can be absolutely certain

Such a thing does not exist. You can only add more nines (e.g. heartbeats, check sensor jitter etc.). At some point you're more likely to be ran over by another car than the tesla slowly, patiently crushing you at 2km/h.

Of course that doesn't mean tesla is actually that reliable.
I have recently become a customer of Bulb for my energy. They won me because when I tried to sign up and this failed, they followed up with an email explaining that my existing supplier had a weird set up for my smart meter which made it impossible to take over automatically and how to get them to fix it, which appeared to have been written by a real human.

In most companies, that'd just be an error in a log file somewhere. They then followed up later to ask if things had been handled well. They also have one single, good value tariff with no option not to have green energy.

Principled, with A++ customer service and a competent mobile app, complete with a time line for switching and starting my account with them. I'm totally sold. They could be quite a lot more expensive than my existing supplier and I frankly wouldn't care given the whole experience so far.
Seems like that'd be a tricky proposition. There are a lot of people who would be happy to buy your $500 gift cards at $450.
I've sold Amazon and Best Buy gift cards for more than face value on eBay.

It's not a group of camel herders in the desert in regards to their cybersec team. They managed to recruit TriCk/Junaid Hussein(associated with TeaMp0isoN), to be their teamleader.
TeaMp0ison were fairly well-known(at the time at least) and actually quite talented hackers.

He was later killed in a dronestrike.
Thanks. You're right.
I wish they showed percentages, or the total number of binaries. It doesn't really tell me much that 141 binary use Swift. I want to know what proportion of iOS uses swift.
assertionFailure is not any more "handling the error" than a forcefully unwrapping the optional.
Nope. I was using the built in Android Account linking (like if you link up your Facebook account to an application OAuth style), but the person who set up the account couldn't have been - they would have set it up with a password as they can't access my email account.

Of note here, I never verified the account when the user first signed up, so DoorDash has always just been going on the first guy's word that they are who they say they are.
I'm not sure what you're trying to point out, but it seems like the data was stolen from a third party DoorDash uses, and that they only had data from users that registered on or before April 5, 2018. The breach actually happened on May 4, 2019.

(And the 2015 reference in the comment you're replying to is about a Flipboard breach, not DoorDash)
Same. The Tesla Model 3 is great. I'd get one if I didn't have crushing doubt about their ability to service their cars. Or stay in business long-term.
It's kind of disappointing to see you and others in this thread being so hostile towards the developer of FSNotes and assuming the worst.

I guess I'm a bit biased since I use it regularly, and I really like the business model of an open-source application that is available for free, and is purchasable if you wish to support the creator.

It seems like you're ignoring the fact that an actual person (and presumably, fellow developer, I am assuming you are also a dev) who provides a useful tool for free and spends a considerable amount of time and energy on it is going to read your posts that just shit on him and his work with no sympathy.

Also, please keep in mind that $500 is a LOT of money for many developers, both inside and outside of the United States.
Considering that they haven't perfected the "don't accelerate into stationary objects" algorithm, I'm not sure I trust this in an area with a lot of pedestrian traffic.
I'm in the same boat and also raced motorcycles around closed circuit racetracks in sanctioned events so I understand the draw. I have 25k miles on my '18 Model 3 now and can't imagine going back to even the best gas car I ever drove. It's just apples and oranges. Both have a special place in my heart but I'll take the EV nine times out of ten these days! Anybody on the fence should just give it a whirl and see for yourself!
Firefox's updater breaks significantly more than Google's.
Heartbeats won't catch UI freezes, which I've seen on phones. Hopefully, those would result in a drop of the input signal rather than it locked in its prior state, though.
Their "profit" would probably be much less than that - they have their own overheads for doing the actual laundering.
Other car manufactures have tried avoiding those two because they want to maintain control over their ecosystem. Read up on how Toyota failed at this with their special infotainment Linux OS.
I strongly disagree. I would rather an application crashed and provided me with an actionable crash report rather than it continuing on in some random state. (This isn't to say that you should ignore errors; it's just that if you don't think there should be an error at a certain location, I would really want to know about it if there is one.)
I'd agree.
should I ever have thought about ways to launder money, it's the ability to scale, not so much the % that's important.

There are a few common scams that directly demand Google Play or iTunes gift cards from the victim. The most depressing one I've heard about is a phone scam where the caller claims to be from the IRS and demands that the victim pay some overdue taxes in the form of gift cards. This is common enough that I've seen notices specifically warning about it on the gift-card displays at drug stores. The fact that this scheme apparently works says a lot about America's civics education.

Well, right now I can get within 1-3% SOTA performance for models I need but I expect that in 2-4 years I'll be much farther away with laughably outdated models nobody would want to pay for. Like now I can replace 100s of people in e.g. quality control as they make e.g. 15% errors and I can bring that down to e.g. 8%. But later big boys might be able to bring it down to 1% for $2M training cost and I wouldn't stand a chance.
I agree that Apple should do those things, but they can set their own prerogative here. It's their ecosystem. Let the market sort it out, right?

Google is not entitled to anything here, and for a competitor to expect as such is absurd.
I've seen people doing this with Turo.

Sorry, but if you're renting out your Chrysler 300C at $550/day and it's booked (not just unavailable) for weeks at a time...

... that's not legitimate. Someone is laundering money, there. The best bit is if you're coordinating it, you don't even lose access to the vehicle, because there's no verification that an exchange of property took place.

This article is worth reading just for the description about the take-home coding challenge.

I agree that 4 hours is a good target, and that the coding challenge must be fun and in an language of the candidate's choice.

> One common objection I’ve heard to take-home tests is that they are too time consuming, and candidates won’t be willing to do them.

As a candidate, I encountered this situation twice, but it was because the coding challenge was poorly designed.

In one case, the coding challenge basically required me to learn two major Java frameworks. As I had minimal Java experience and never touched the frameworks, I estimated that it would take me 2-3 days just to understand what someone else could probably do in 2-3 hours. I have no desire to be a framework jock, so I walked away.

Another time, I did a challenge for an open-source company. They had a list of some bugs, and I picked what I thought was easiest. The language wasn't one that I did any work in. No one responded to my questions, so again, I walked away.
For the energy consumption per computation, it is supposedly ~10x better. That matters a lot when you have to account for a limited battery/range and cooling/extra hardware adding complexity to the car.

One potential use for this, even with it just memorizing answers in a clever way, would be to speed up a CAS. For problems that are taking the CAS a minute or two, it is could be faster to have the model outlined in this paper propose solutions that the CAS simply has to check.
> The information accessed is not sufficient to make fraudulent charges on your payment card.

In other words... "We leaked a bunch of your personal information, but at least it's not enough data to steal your money!"

All of these leaks have the cumulative effect of making ineffective very commonly used security verification questions: "Can I verify that last 4 of your social? And the last 4 of your credit card?"

How long will it take for us to accept that this kind of data can no longer be assumed private? The sooner, the better, mainly so companies stop using it as a secondary form of identity verification.
I remember Mondo 2000 very well - there was nothing like it. It went away and Wired sort of filled the gap just a bit for a little while - the very early issues of Wired were actually pretty interesting. Now not so much.

Yeah, it's also something you shouldn't do.
Worth noting that there is nothing actually FSD specific in the chip. It could've easily be a cookie cutter smartphone SoC. Though it is significantly more powerful than anything on the market in such package for as long as regular SMP goes.

I'm sure that they are not sure themselves where would their future developments go, so they just added a lot of everything.
That's an interesting discussion, and one that will still keep happening.

At a given point, you can handle errors, but there's nothing you can do about them

It's good when languages (and developers) realize there are errors you should handle but there are errors you "shouldn't" because there's nothing you can do but bail out.

I do, without good reason. I never programmed for iOS. I learned it for fun and now it's my favorite language. I use IBM Kitura for server-side development because of it's well designed API.

The ecosystem is indeed the greatest downside. A lot of the existing libraries are also polluted with UIKit code making them unusable on Linux. Just recently wanted to use an existing API client of some social network, but couldn't, because it contained UIKit code. Forking it and fleshing out the parts needed feels kinda wrong.
There is nothing differentiating this one from all the others I’ve lived thru.

We’re at a natural cyclical high, and the century-hence dire predictions are objectively well within noise levels (1° and 1 foot).

Capitalism is moving us to lowered emissions because we prefer them when possible (my office is 100% solar). Emerging nations will get there too. Strange how the imperative of radical change is directed at US, not others producing far more emissions.
Again, I don't see how antivirus scammers are any different than other IRL scams such as lotteries (state-sanctioned!), ponzi schemes etc.

I thought that, too, but I have taken a couple of longer (800 mile or so) trips in the Tesla and was pleasantly surprised. I thought the 'charge for 30 minutes' at a supercharger was going to seem like a lot of waiting, but by the time we unloaded the kids out of the car, went to the bathroom, etc, the car was already charged.

Being forced to stop every couple of hundred miles was really not that bad. Broke up the trip nicely.

Also, the autopilot is AMAZING for long trips. Even though you have to pay attention, it is so much less exhausting than fully driving. I kinda feel like a supervisor, watching out far down the road, looking out for strange things coming up, etc. Just a very pleasant experience.
> This is just the reality of a faceless bureaucracy which isn't accountable to anyone or anything.

Please. They're accountable to their one billion plus customers who depend on them to keep as much riff raff as possible out of the app store. They're likewise accountable to the developers who created this market.

Apple's process is imperfect. They certainly raise a lot of false negatives. The requirements are sometimes onerous and nebulous. However, the alternative is knowingly peddling hot garbage and harming their customers, partners, third-party developers, and thus, their own business.

You hope the car relies on continuous signal from the phone to proceed. It's certainly possible that the phone freezes in a way that the "keep going" signal continues to be sent, but it's probably not the more likely failure mode. Definitely a good thing to be concerned about!

This is still so easy to circumvent.

If it is purely by domain, switch away from google.ca and use google.com to get the results you need.

If it uses geolocation of any kind, use a VPN that allows you to switch between endpoints, and use an endpoint in the States to bring up Canadian information.

In the end, this is nothing more than privacy theatre, in that these changes are only cosmetic and skin-deep.

Granted, I am of the firm opinion that all data is sacrosanct, and that the only thing that should be scrubbable from the Internet is misinformation that has been _proven_ to be demonstrably false by a court of law. Things like prior convictions should not be admissible unless you were later cleared of all charges and the convictions are clearly not in the public’s interest.
