Reading this felt like a breath of fresh air.

Her blog is really worthwhile to read, also this article about the first picture of a black hole:

I'm not qualified to judge either way, but I like the style of her reasoning very much.

There are other open standards such as Plus Codes, but I actually disagree that (what it looks like to me) a hash-based system (which is more or less what W3W is) is better than a numeric system like GPS coordinates.

41, -73 (removed all decimals from your example location) still gives me the general location that it's somewhere in New York. My understanding is that removing a word from W3W completely invalidates it as it's like a hash.

Incomplete GPS coordinates can be augmented by other information. W3W doesn't look like it can, if your phone cuts out before you said the last word of your W3W to the emergency dispatcher you're screwed. If your phone cuts out before you said the last few decimals of the GPS coordinates the dispatcher still has a chance of finding you.

So they did. Then was then, now is now. The effect of being good and responsible - and thus its importance and the degree to which you want it praised - is proportional to wealth. One change of heart of a fund like this can easily help more than the whole country's worth of individual efforts.
City Journal is pretty weird. It used to be a mainstream magazine of urban planning, but now it seems to have been infected with the far-right brain virus.

Edit: I also can't believe that an article on San Francisco homelessness never once mentions zoning laws.
Checking Telerik UI for UWP as a Way to Get Started with PVS-Studio
That's a difficult argument? Is the manager not part of the team? Depends on the org, I guess.

Either way, I'm not so sure the statement means much. The point of agile is to do what's helps, so if a standup is useful for the above reasons, it's entirly possible that another approach solves the same problem, negating the need for the standup.

Thank you for sharing. For you what are the best resources out there to learn how to do a proper design for blind people or having other disabilities? Also do you have some examples of website done right in UX for blind people? Like for instance I remember using tab on Youtube and they placed a very handy hidden `Skip Navigation` button after 2 tabs that makes navigation faster and easier. Do you have example of that?
StateFun: Function-as-a-Service Powered by Apache Flink
... only to find it won't boot, as the OS was on some kind of SSD storage that died after ~2-3 years without being powered on. :(
My computer had a problem (not uncommon apparently) that forced Windows to be the default EUFI boot option. Admittedly this is perhaps more of a laptop manufacturer bug than a problem from Microsoft.

I used a workaround suggested on the VeraCrypt forums: renaming the Windows boot loader, replacing it with the VeraCrypt one, and pointing VeraCrypt at the renamed option. This meant that any Windows update that updated the boot loader would break the whole arrangement and to fix it I needed to boot from a USB stick.

I think I most recently tried on version 1.22. It does sound like this version has some relevant fixes though.

Having helped to design some early CD-ROM drives many years ago (initially using Philips CDROM components), the information here brings back memories. :-)

On a hardware level, the first thing we do is do a eye pattern check to see if all the modulated signals are coming in as expected [1]. If not, a hardware check on components is performed.

Wow, not a single feature managed to spark any interest whatsoever.

Have they fixed mission control's top bar not expanding by default yet? That would be the only reason to upgrade.
Yes, it can be done.

Microsoft had great documentation in 1998. It is called MSDN VS 6.0. You can find it at WinWorldPC. You had everything there (in the documentation)! DirectX, WIN32API, what ever you wish... Hit F1 on random keyword and it would still pull out the documentation for it with code examples too. No need to connect to the internet.

Comparing that to nowadays Visual Studio documentation... it's... bad. Offline documentation has links to online resources which is missing the point. You have some information there but it is not complete, it is full of holes.

>Let’s put aside the fact that one cannot directly observe what is inside of a proton or a neutron and that it is quite a logical leap to assume that the extremely unstable particles that come out of a collision exist in a stable form within the non-collided particles.

This is nonsense, deep inelastic scattering experiments have for example directly shown that protons have the predicted internal structure [1].

The Redis threaded I/O does parsing as well, but parsing does not change the obtained speedup a lot, so it is disabled by default (but you can enable it via config).
How many bitcoins can you mine in 30 seconds with a silly-low CPU cap?

Somewhere in the region of $5e-9 worth of bitcoins.
I wonder whether there's a tool that could make websites tactile. Like, a pad with pins that can be programmatically raised and touched, and are used for drawing the website's layout. You could put your hands on it, touch it and feel the layout of the website, scroll around, and eventually click your selection. It can substitute braille font for the font used on the website.

Why is this cancer allowed to exist and not blocked by every antimalware/safe browsing lists? They fit most definitions of malware, it's annoying, designed to trick/mislead you, can lead you to other malware, and spies on you (so it's spyware as well).
Yes it is. You are maybe not considering the challenge of putting all those accommodations across the globe in one place. Accommodation providers don’t care about how they fill up their rooms as long as they get filled. Booking, contrary to many other tech companies, is very successful financially with 14.5b of revenues and something like 25+% EBIT. I find hard to believe that a coop is going to be able to build such service worldwide.
The whole idea behind Wazo Platform is to bring to the community a programmable platform for communication which is at the same time open & hybrid.
Open: it uses the most standard programming language (Python vs. Erlang for Kazoo) to aim for the largest interoperability and to make it most accessible to anyone.
Hybrid: the programmability are delivered neither as a service (Twilio), nor on a cloud-based platform (Restcomm) but as a product, so that you can use it from any kind of infrastructure (public or private clouds, bare metal) so as to keep the control on what you are building.
The communication platform is made of open source components only, which are fully api-centric and cloud centric, so as to be in a position to manage every single component.
The team behind Wazo is made of 15 developers from both open source Telecom and open source IT orchestration, as well as a strong community.
Any feedback/contribution is welcome to make of Wazo Platform the missing open source communication stack for communication!
A pre-tax salary of CHF 2500 looks well below the poverty line....
This. If they were at least up-front and said what it collects, how, when, and how to turn it off (or better yet, followed privacy best practice and turned it into informed opt-in), I'd be more eager to upgrade.

With that said -- there's still room for due diligence. I've built systems which handle personal data, and we pretty much started with Debian minimal and worked from there. To make damn sure, we stuck them behind a whitelisted firewall. They had access only to things we allowed them to see, and only in the direction we allowed.
Big corps can't escalate things as a reaction or on a whim. They have much more to loose than a single protestor does. It has to be planned. Preferably with all other big corps in tow. Google tried and their market share went from 35% to 2%.

Now if they had got together with other corps, and drawn a line the story might have been different. That said, with each attempt comes learning and the next attempt wont go the same way.

The Chinese aren't immune to pressure (as the tariff wars show) and there are invisible lines in the sand, they can be pushed to step over that will unify opposition and escalate things.

Intelligent protest is about finding those lines.

How would you go about parsing logs in R?

The problem with logs is that lines have different number of columns depending on what that line is logging.

What a given line is logging can usually be determined by a regex (e.g. ends with a ip-address, starts with this words, etc., etc)

I'm genuinely curious, as this is a use-case where I have a lot of difficulty using python or R. I can see how grep + awk are strong as a preprocessor, as they can scan through a larger than memory file, and select columns from rows that match your criteria.
Reminds me of the old Robin Reliant; I believe the 3-wheelers were exempt from licensing in the UK, or counted as "motorcycles". Some manufacturers have attempted to do the same with electric vehicles such as the Renault Twizy.

(The French insistence on maintaining rural life exactly unchanged is charming - most of the time)
who says they're not blocked? ublock origin certainly blocks it for me?
Pathological myopia can't be corrected with glasses.

TBH we call it "myopia" in the plugin because it's short and what we think most users would understand. Many visual disabilities cause a similar blurring effect, such as cataracts.
You are not necessarily right. It's because of limited knowledge of structure and architecture. Eg. developer giving someone `create table` statement (without table data). In MySQL engine this statement by default contains last auto incremented id. So someone executing that statement and then inserting record could end with id equals to 12345 even though it's very first record.
This is a great comment.

Imagine the investment that would suddenly start in accessibility if Google publicly announced it was an important part of search engine rankings.
Had a similar problem when buying a used copy of Metal Gear Solid 1 on the PS1, the game and both discs worked fine but if you died on the second disc while in story mode the game would lock up. Added a bit of extra difficulty at any rate!

This year all their OSes seem to be riddled with issues at release.

- iOS 13.0 was so bad they released 13.1 in less than 5 days, but even now many things are still hit and miss (with 13.2 in beta)

- watchOS 6.0 is also still pretty bad and not yet fixed (with 6.1 in beta)

- macOS 10.15 GM seems pretty buggy

- Well, I think tvOS 13 is ok?

While the situation might be better for people who use the latest betas, it is still a horrible current user experience for all normal users just updating their devices.

Lots of cross-platform features introduced across these updates (like the new iCloud features and new Reminder apps, etc.) are also in a horrible state.

I'm not sure what their QA team is doing this year but it seems almost everything planned for this Fall would have been better off if pushed back a couple of months. Well, if it weren't for device compatibilities... (the iPhone 11/Watch 5 seemed to be more important than stable software across all their platforms and other devices)
I'm not aware of the local news outlets or leanings, but my visits over the last few years are pretty consistent with what I've read in this article. It's an undeniable problem and the current response is clearly not working.
Google API Directions does not gives out the transit information for Tokyo for licensing reason unfortunately :(
This is historically not correct, the threaded I/O branch was started 1.5 years ago, you can check the history online, it's all public. Moreover before me, and after me, a number of individuals did the same work many times, including Alibaba team, AWS team, and so forth. It's an obvious feature, the reason for not doing this, or doing this in a very limited fashion, is philosophical rather than technical. Btw Keydb way of doing threading has nothing to do with the trick used by Redis I/O threading AFAIK, of just fanning out to N threads only in the hot places.
Have you tried Emacs?
I mean by mainstream antimalware including the built-in safe browsing lists that most browsers use. The world would be so much better & safer for non-technical users if operating systems blocked such trash out of the box, as most non-tech people don't even know ad/cancer blockers exist.
Even when I don't have adblock running, those two I block at the hosts file or DNS layer. Some of their clickbait photos are offensive or disturbing (although of course not quite enough to get them banned)
There's an idea for this called the Braille e-book. I don't think anyone's actually brought one to market, though.
So what you're saying is that this is exactly how the Supreme Court works if someone comes and makes an appropriate argument?
The result is absolutly not similar since there is no censorship at all. This is even the oposite since those epsiodes are available... If you're not happy with Netflix deciding to filter what's available, just stop using netflix.

Because there are a myriad of perceptual issues and the idea of reporting specific perceptual needs is likely an unnecessarily severe data disclosure, wouldn't it be best for non-app websites to have their content mapped out according to some standardized API for consumption by their client?

> However the problem is because the situation in HK is not as straight forward as people think.

Agreed.

> SCMP has been for the past few months been very supportive of the "protests", so I am not even sure why they put this video up in the first place. As we can see, these guys are not the "peaceful protesters" people would like you to believe, but more rioters or even terrorists

The masked, armed people in the video may be terrorists, but have you considered that the SCMP is doing a form of nonviolent protest? That if all protesters were terrorists, they'd have a larger army than the Islamic State ever had? The fact that the Hong Kong government remains in power despite their inferior numbers shows that most protesters disapprove of violent tactics just as much as you do.

You seem to have realized that a black-and-white view like "protesters are good, they should be supported" is too simple and requires more nuance, but then you went and replaced it with the black-and-white "protesters are bad, they should not be supported."

I think a better alternative is "some protesters are good, they should be supported; other protesters are bad, they should not be supported." Spend some time figuring out who fits in each bucket.

Treating groups of people as single entities with a unified will is only going to lead to confusion when they don't act like one. (That applies also to the Hong Kong police, the Hong Kong government, the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese people, and other participants in this conflict.)
This could easily be solved by requiring that the disabled person first contact the company and explain how the site is not accessible and if the company refuses to provide a solution then you can sue. The idea being that it never gets to the legal part because the company knows it is much cheaper to fix their website.
More than once I've had to engineer a bug into new code to make it "bug-compatible" with old clients.

I've quit Adobe when they moved to the cloud, what a horrible scheme. Now I'm using Inkscape already for years for all my digital graphics work. It's not on par with Illustrator, but still an amazing open source project we should cherish.
Apperantly reddit intersperses posts with advertisements. I was so confused when suddenly there was a post saying "Goland IDE helps thousands of developers..."

OT: The hot page does look funny. I'm not sure if I ever could enjoy something like this though - I seem to lack imagination. Perhaps it's the same reason I can't get into Roleplaying games (D&D, or online variations).
Not (really) in the South, but around here I've seen more than one such establishment with a sign that says "Eat Here - Get Gas". Ha!

While folks are thinking about CDs: I've not been able to get an F2/F3-frame CD image. If anyone has such a thing (not copyrighted, just a CD containing a text file or public domain music piece is fine), I'd love to get it so I can implement a CIRC encoder/decoder! My GitHub repository (linked in the article) has an RSPC Reed-Solomon encoder/decoder, a disc scrambler/descrambler, and Q-subchannel encoder/decoder. I'm trying to build up a comprehensive ISC-licensed C++ library for working with every frame level of CD data.

For folks interested in the lead-in / lead-out data, to my knowledge only very few drives allow reading this raw data, namely older Plextor drives with the 0xd8 (READ_CDDA) command. If there are any hardware engineers who want to save an entire generation of CD history in a more exacting archival format, we could desperately use either hacked drive firmware for a modern CD drive, or custom CD reading hardware to preserve this data. Time is really of the essence.

The vanguard of CD preservation right now, to the best of my knowledge, is Claunia's DiscImageChef project: http://discimagechef.claunia.com/

I'm also working with the Game Preservation Society in Japan ( https://www.gamepres.org/ ), which has archives of thousands of rare and obscure Japanese CD media, so by all means if anyone reading this can help, please let me know.

That's right, in large, society doesn't care and never will. Learn from your mistakes and move on. From reading all your posts I can tell you being assertive didn't get you fired, but probably your cynical attitude.

2-3 years wasted - please, even working a job out of your field for that amount of time will teach you new things. You are hooked on this school situation as being the roadblock that's seemingly impossible to overcome. Figure it out.

The choice is yours to be a victim of circumstance. Time to get your ducks in order and have a little humility and compassion for yourself instead of throwing your hands up and calling bullshit. This is life.
