A lot of drivers also look ahead of the vehicle directly ahead of them, so they have some sense of when the vehicle in front of them is likely to slow down so that they can be better prepared to slow down themselves. If the AEB has a false positive and suddenly slows the vehicle, it would likely catch drivers following that vehicle off guard.
I believe they are talking about that. I've seen that methodology of UI take off lately, too.

I literally responded to a thread where someone said the world would end in 25 years, someone had a more measured response, then someone used the warm weather where they live as proof of impending disaster. Think about what I responded to.
But that's a one time thing. When you're doing an OS upgrade, I guess you're expecting some extra work. Your also have to reinstall xcode, update other apps etc.
A rear-end collision is caused by the following driver being too close. A car in front could at any time, for any reason, use full breaking force and you have to plan your following distance appropriately.

That said, a good way to get an angry rant from a truck driver is to talk about cars cutting in front so they no longer have an appropriate stopping distance.

Picking something that is more extreme than what was said, and asserting that this could prompt swift Chinese organic reaction... does nothing to address whether the reaction to what was actually said was organic.

Due to the memory unsafety of C++, memory debuggers are absolutely used, including valgrind's memcheck and the Google sanitizers. Memory leaks and double frees are easier to avoid in C++ than C even without tooling, but use-after-free (for example) is absolutely a problem. And "modern" C++ won't necessarily help you here: even heard of string_view, span, or ranges? Memory debuggers are also often used in conjunction with fuzzing to track down bugs that the compiler may not tell you about.

FWIW, every program looks like one that usually is set to start at startup; the intent is to have the dialogue only show up when you start an app for the first time. Since so many background apps were running at startup they all slowly needed to ask for their permissions.

> create a migration UX

Might not be possible if the previous MacOS isn't full-on tracking what folders a program is accessing, and it still would likely encourage allowing all permissions if the user has more than 30 different programs accessing enough folders.
It is irreleveant if AEB fails when a human doesn't- the human and AEB systems are complimentary. When the human driver doesn't fail, then it's okay for AEB to fail. AEB only needs to pick up the slack when a human isn't fast enough to get on the brakes. Even if it only works in 10% of those situations, it's still preventing collisions.
It's also the only example that could possibly make PHP look good, because it's the problem domain PHP was invented for. Nobody is innovating on Perl's CGI so it's not going to make use of any improved language features from the last 20 years.

You mean, the jobs that could support a family on a single income?

Those jobs?

It's a unique aspect of tech-people that the disappearance of a class of work that was actually able to support people at a reasonable standard of living is cause for advocacy of "more wealth redistribution, please". Where I come from this is viewed as both naive and insulting. I don't mean to imply you were trying to come across that way - but realize that it can. "Look I know we took your dirty disgusting low skilled manufacturing job and shipped it overseas ... but here's a welfare check from Uncle Sam" has not exactly done well as a political strategy for the last few election cycles.
In most cases k << n. For 64-bit integers, byte wise radix sort k is 8, which is less than log n whenever n is more than 256. So, radix sort is typically much faster than an O(n log n) sort of your data support it. It just isn’t as widely used because it is not as general as a comparison based sort.

Are your interactions with the ruling sovereign within a given jurisdiction arbitrary or governed by Law?

Are the actions taken by the enforcement arm of the sovereign power fairly predictable according to the code of law they publish, or is there are there numerous uncodified “rules” you must also abide by?

Are political enemies executed or punished during regime changes, or are regime changes regular, peaceful and governed by law? Are the families of political enemies also punished?

Does the legislative power pass ex post facto laws or Bills of Attainder? Are property rights respected? Do laws pass through a formal process or at whim? Are Courts of Law and Equity independent?
The trade war, as far as I understand, started largely because companies were complaining about Intellectual Property being stolen. Although I figure the larger reason is China is a threat to American global influence, and we're trying to make sure we're the dominant country.

Regardless, I don't know how you quantify "if the US economy was hurt" in a consistent and accurate way. I'm sure some would want to use the S&P 500 or our GDP as a single measure. Neither of these things would immediately account for whether the obvious goal (not having IP stolen) or less obvious and quantifiable goal (dominance and global influence) are maintained, or suppose there's some other goal I don't know about, but it's more complex than saying we produced more value this year than last year.

I picture someone saying, "Look the S&P 500 went down, therefore the 'trade war' failed, see!" I'm not saying you would say that, I just think your definition, "if the US economy was hurt, then its a failure" leaves room for vague interpretation, where virtually any metric could be selected as proof of failure.
I took this idea to be: since methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2, and since it takes decades for CO2 to decay in the atmosphere on its own, maybe we could speed up the decay process (via combustion) in order try and avoid triggering extreme positive feedback (the clathrate gun).

Also yeah a lot of people don't understand climate science!
I'm astounded with some of the user security dialogs that Macs display. I got one today: "VSCode wants to make some changes. Deny or Allow." That was the exact wording.

Seriously? THIS. BENEFITS. NO. ONE.

The only thing I can figure is that, somehow, Mac has required applications to display something to the user to get their permission to make some substantial system-level changes. But the application is, I guess?, allowed to fill in the message dialog. I can't believe that wording came from Apple; I assume it was Microsoft, who I do trust as much as anyone, so I'll approve it, but this leaves a lingering question:

Either Apple actually did write that, or they allow applications published by "whoever" to fill in "whatever" messaging they want to get the user to click Yes. It's absolutely unacceptable behavior.

I'd say I'm done with Apple, but there isn't a personal computing platform who gets this right. Every Apple employee reading this article should be ashamed. Every Microsoft employee should be ashamed. Everyone just Needs To Do Better.

What is Better? I don't know, off-hand. It's not easy, but I'd imagine why that's why these companies are paid billions of dollars. For starters: If I install around your centralized certificate signing authority to install something, I Trust That Application. It doesn't need to alert me every time it makes a change. And if I install it through your store, then I also trust it, because you trust it. So why do I get so many damn "Approve This Change" notifications? I should get ZERO after the install.

I get that most users aren't as savvy as me, but that's why you're making it so hard to bypass that central certificate signing authority, and I'm fine with that. It's the lingering notifications that make zero sense. Fix your shit, Apple, because I haven't encountered anyone that's ecstatic with anything you've released in the past 18 months.
That's a small difference.
Oh good, so we have time?

Not sure what you're point is unless to say that this problem is on a long enough time horizon (where the survival rate for everyone drops to zero ...).
Be careful with terminology: the thing defined in SQL:2016 is called the SQL/JSON path language, and although it’s similar to the older JSONPath, it’s not the same.

"The infer team is only like 15 people, last I checked."

The Infer team is claiming to get results on C/C++ with both sequential and concurrency errors via a tool they open sourced. I value scalable results over theories, team counts, etc. Does Google have a tool like that which we can verify by using it ourselves? Even with restrictions on non-commercial use? Anything other than their word they're great?

"that it seems odd to pivot to Infer here."
"So you'll just have to take my word that Google doesn't have a vendetta against static analysis. "

You really messed up on 2nd sentence since I linked an article on Google's static analysis work. I told people they're doing it. I mentioned Infer was Facebook pouring a lot of money into a top-notch, independent team to get lots of result. I mentioned Google could do that for companies like that behind Mayhem that built the exact kind of stuff they seem to want in their published paper. They could do it many times over. If they did it, I haven't seen it posted even once. They don't care that much.

Your claims about team size and "vendetta against static analysis" are misdirection used to defend Google instead of explain why they don't buy and expand tech like Infer and Mayhem. And heck, they can use Infer for free. My theory is something along the lines of company culture.

While you are correct there is just no way that this is going to happen. Even if you could convince all the West to give up FF then I don't think you could convince China and India. Also there is no way you could convince the majority of people in the West to give up FF because a large percentage still don't believe climate change is man made. I was having a discussion a couple of nights ago with someone who thought it was all a conspiracy and when I said well NASA says the number of climate scientists behind it is 94% they still prefer to believe the right wing radio.

I really can't see this being turned around unless a major technical breakthrough is discovered which I consider fairly unlikely.

At this stage no one knows exactly how bad it will get. I've got between 30 & 40 years left (and no kids) so I don't think it will be catastrophic in my lifetime but I still have basic plans in my head about becoming more self-sufficient in the future as one way to deal with a potential fallout should there be some kind of calamity in the future.

Users are notoriously bad at being able to explain what they want, or even knowing what they want.

This is why UX/usability studies are the gold standard of delivering value: put a user in front of your tool, give them a task and watch the actual actions they make to complete the task. This has been the norm for decades.

If you are illegally camped in a dark field and your phone, tablet or laptop is the only source of light, bright white images emit much more light that can give away your position than dark ones.

IIRC, the two primary things we did to conserve battery power were 1. Avoid certain games and 2. Turn down screen brightness.

In ordinary usage, the screen on our tablets was typically the biggest drain on the battery. This was especially true for tablets with a large screen.

I don't have (anec)data specific to dark mode on websites and power usage. I just know that using our devices carefully was the difference being kept occupied for three or four hours until we could sleep or running out after an hour and having nothing to do but talk, which is not a stealthy activity.

That's why they need to be included. Companies are using automated systems and/or non-technical HR people to filter resumes. The bigger the company, the worse it is because they get more applicants.
I just took on a project that uses micro service style architecture (8 services total) and runs on AWS, has no customers, and costs more per month than I've seen very high revenue projects spend in over 6 months for hosting. I can't imagine how bad it would be with older projects with more cruft.
It does feel like a cliff.
Unexpected problems appear often when giving automated decision making free reign to make decisions without human intervention.

It is simply that I see zero evidence that the Nick Bostron, Lesswrong, and etc. school of thought provides any insight in regard to these problems. The thing the "AI might become autonomous" school doesn't seem at all interest in the processes of human bureaucracy or in even AI as it exist now but rather views as simply a god, devil or Genie which grants wishes or damns to hell. If anything, the approach seems counter-productive.

Youre thinking in the short-term. Of course there are going to be short term economic losses for the US when Trump announced the bans and the tariffs. But its only short term until the west figures out how to defeat the communists. In the long term, theres gain, not just in the economy of western countries, but most importantly gain in human rights, human dignity, and most of all, liberty! China's oligarchs would get mad at the CCP when the economy starts going to shambles and when they cant take their money out of the country.

Not in a way that scales or is user friendly. You might be able to use those as a base for something very hackey. I helped build a full suite to do everything in that list for a coworking "start up". It gets complicated pretty quickly and you need a custom ui and good control of the data model for custom business logic.

CLion is an amazing tool -- I've purchased licenses for my personal self in the past, but my employer pays for it these days.

My problem is they've done a terrible job of making it scale up to large code bases. I work on the chromium tree -- CLion is completely useless on it. I have a dual 24-core xeon with 128GB of RAM and SSD and I've given it a wackload of memory, and it becomes completely inoperable, freezing all over the place.

Awful because I have such muscle memory for the JetBrains tools, and such a fondness for them.

I've gone back to using Emacs, but now with Eclim. I just couldn't get into VSCode.
There are many reasons, especially for taxes on the value of land:

* The value of land is largely created by public services such as schools, infrastructure, parks and public transport. Therefore, it makes sense to recover this value through taxation.

* Almost all taxes reduce or distort what is taxed. The supply of land, on the other hand, is fixed and cannot be reduced. This way, public services such as schools can be paid for without distorting the economy.

* Property cannot be hidden or moved to tax havens.

* Land taxes prevent vacancies and thus speculation. The reduction of vacancies also helps against urban sprawl.
Demand better public transport, then. It's the solution for every other city in Australia.

I recently started using Magit, and one of the first things I did was cruising through a gnarly interactive rebase full of fixup commits with it. It was amazing.

One of the things I appreciate about magit is that it gives you sane default behaviour. For instance, the -f option when pushing with magit is —force-with-lease, rather than —force, so that you don’t inadvertently overwrite someone else’s work. When stashing, it helpfully prompts by default you to enter a message for your stash to differentiate it from the 10 other stashes you might have on a branch. Sure, these are things you can get on the command line, but they’re not the defaults, and you have to remember how to get to them.

I only have emacs open for magit (:

Really? I’ve worked with a lot of people who are just trying to make the thing do the thing.

Even most of the people who are interested in good abstractions often are under such pressure to perform “I’m just shipping here don’t mind me” that they largely stop thinking about the right abstraction.

Maybe I’ve worked at too many troubled startups though lol.
I guess I am a somewhat neutral bystander here. I'm from India and the way I see it, these sorts of actions, will simply force China and Chinese companies to develop alternatives to US products. For the short to medium term these blacklists will hurt Chinese companies severely, perhaps even put some of them out of business. However, in the long term 15-20 years, I would imagine, China would have fully caught up with the US particularly on semiconductor design and fabrication. Once that happens, the dominance of the US tech stack will start to falter and eventually erode away. If I were the US govt., I would invest every available dollar and minute on building up a technological lead, because, oh boy it is going to need every last bit of advantage it can get. And even that may not be enough.

For the world, this may not be a terrible outcome, (although don't get me wrong -- no trade war would be the best outcome.) . For one thing, it breaks monopolies across the tech stack from E-commerce all the way to semi-conductor manufacturing equipment. That competition between US and Chinese companies can only benefit the world. It's happening in 5G already.
