I would never hold it against Google if they purged malware from Play Store. Particularly since android makes it easy for alternative appstores to exist, most notably the superb F-Droid, which mitigates some of the risk of Google getting it wrong.

When alternative sources are not readily available, the calculus changes. When the platform is a walled garden, the matter of banning the wrong script/app becomes more serious. Apple's appstore, Mozilla's firefox extension platform and Google's chrome extension platform fall into this category. Because they make it difficult to install apps/extensions from other sources, they have a moral responsibility to perform to be more careful with what they ban.

(Also, I do not accept the premise that Google is actually trying in a meaningful way.)
Are there no fair algorithms? I urge the authors to at least give Bogosort another chance!
An exit is not always bad. Big companies have vast resources and established sales channels. Acquired companies can offload peripheral corporate functionality to their new parent and focus their efforts on core competencies such as research and development.
> those with lack of critical thinking skills as they are actually a minority

Where do you even come up with this?
> No, it didn't. They had a single, sub-brand model (the i3) that was neither technologically interesting nor performant.

The i3 didn’t exist 8 years ago. What BMW did have then, and for some time before, was essentially a test fleet of electric 3-series sedans. They had a graphic applied to the sides so you could tell it was one of them.

Those were essentially what you’re asking for, and what the article says was poised to be a sensible strategy. For whatever reason they decided to do the i sub brand instead, and that’s where there strategy makes no sense.
I can’t say whether it is an ear hearing or some other sensitivity to resonance (of the skull?).

The sensation is stronger on one side/ear, and it feels like the pressure you feel if someone goes “puh” softly in your ear in a quiet room... except that it happens over and over at a low frequency.

I have experienced it in several different places. One place was at college on the cliffs overlooking the Mississippi river, and I suspect it was from the boats that push barges (cargo) down the river.

Other places have been near heavy freight train routes, particularly when a train is idling somewhere within perhaps a mile.

It’s like if a big truck is idling a few houses down the street in a quiet neighborhood.

In one location in the mountains of Colorado, the sound could be heard a many locations throughout the valley. I know this because i drove around in the quiet and remote regions, stopping periodically to listen. Some spots were impressively loud, and others were not audible. In that environment I suspect it was due to wind over the mountain ridge (sharp edged on one side, and the wind would cause a pressure differential to build until it would break and the air would take a chaotic path briefly). This is similar to what you see and hear with a fireplace where the fire is burning mostly on one side of a log, but the air flows in a way that creates a pressure differential... and it may cause a puff puff puff pattern that is both audible and visible (flame leaping around the other side of the log exactly at the moment you hear the puff).
There's no advantage to using Node in a lot of cases though. Maybe if you're creating a microservice to generate email html or something. Data/state management, stream/job processing? Java or Kotlin all the way.

I have written a lot of Node services. Spent six years doing it. Gimme Java plz.

No, they're independently corrupt, and have overlapping interests.
Snow Leopard was tongue in cheek as it comes up among OSX fans as the best OS made.

To your point, there are plenty newer MacOS versions that might still suit ones taste, still run 32 bit apps, and still get patched.

There are plenty alternatives to surfing Safari. Heck, you can even get modern Firefox compiled for Power Macintosh G3, G4, or G5 (not for Lion 10.7 or newer, which dropped Power Mac support): https://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

iCab (at icab.de) is another labor of love, though release notes look like 2018.

The legacy banks all seem to be moving to voice-recognition IVR systems which primarily exist to provide the same service as the website/app, but in a more frustrating manner.

If I had a problem that could be solved on the website, I wouldn't be calling in the first place...
I’m mostly working with Rust, and I really like it, and I can even understand why WRITING Golang can be frustrating at times, but it should be clear to everyone that Golang is the best language to READ.

It becomes a monopoly when the supply of browsers is controlled by a single entity and the entry of new market participants is prevented or highly restricted.

Having a large market share does not make you a monopoly if you do not control the supply and restrict or prevent new market participants.

Since a browser is a piece of software you can install with a couple clicks in a couple minutes, and anyone who wants to can make one, even mostly based on the same code as Chrome in fact - I fail to see how Chrome can be considered a monopoly. Even if it had 90% market share.

Chrome got where it is by computer savvy users telling everyone who would listen to just install Chrome and going to every computer they helped keep running and installing Chrome on it. The exact same thing could happen for Firefox over the next 5 years if the winds really start blowing in that direction.

Even if the software itself ticks a nice box as a feature add to some other product, the patents wouldn't have fit into the portfolios of any of those companies. To make it a profitable investment they would have had to pre-meditate a licensing deal... with Apple.
I used to live near a freeway exit, and motorcycles were by far the worst compared to literally any other traffic. They are dangerously loud, and can cause ear damage.

The silver lining is that obnoxiously loud bikes are a dying breed (Harley Davidson sales have been taking for years) + general electrification of personal transportation should quiet things up in the not too distant future.

So about a year before I moved out of Seattle I started hearing this HUM around the University District. It was low pitched but it was everywhere. And it was especially in my bedroom. All night long. My sleep became a lot less sound.

My boyfriend never heard it. Ever. He’d sleep right next to me. His ears just didn’t go down that low, I guess. Or maybe my skull resonated with this noise better than his did, I dunno.

I have no idea what caused it. It went down over time, but I’d still hear it pretty much every night I slept in my apartment. Sleep elsewhere and it was gone.

I moved to another city. It didn’t follow me. I’ve mostly forgotten how glad I am to not have that low frequency hum be a constant presence in my life. Thanks for reminding me how grateful I should be for it being gone! ️
But what would be the geopolitical effects of having found the ruins of an old datacenter, under the dust of a couple of millions of years, old hardware, looking like maybe 500 years more advanced than the state of the art on Earth.

You would know there's tech out there, the first able to reach to it will have the edge over the rest for centuries ahead.

The effects will be massive, no one dolar, yuan, yen, gold bar would be left unspent in the quest to get there and learn before the others.
Hey again! I was thinking only functions, not templates, just wondering if C++ had changed things to not require the type promotion. CUDA has printf, but I suspect it’s implemented differently, not according to the C variadic function spec, reflecting on some of the weird ways that I’ve seen printf fail in CUDA code...
+1000 about the quiet -> less stress. It's something very few people get. Mostly just old people that get a few acres know about it.
Uh, it seems obvious that the question is not tree trimming in particular but maintenance generally. The gas explosion the killed thirty people might hypothetically have been just an accident but logic, rules-of-thumb and actual evidence available all pointed to it being a problem of inadequate PG&E maintenance. Assuming the cause was a defective power line, maybe it was totally an accident but it seems unlikely in the scheme of things - most likely it was part of their pattern of negligence.

Edit: Note, the Camp Fire has bankrupted them. They are bankrupt, in bankruptcy proceedings. They are also on criminal (not civil) probation. None of this stopped their stock from rising after the recent events - where a more naive me might expect their stock holders' money would be forfeit once they reached the level of bankruptcy (unsecured debtors and all).
Awesome. I hope this doesn't become exclusive for Apple TV.
The California average is 16.06¢.

PG&E doesn't serve all of California. While we're being pedantic, PG&E's (non-low-income) rates are generally closer to $0.20-$0.30 per kWh. Their rates are a bit too complex to easily summarize but during peak hours you are pretty much guaranteed to be paying more than $0.20/kWh (and in many cases above $0.25/kWh). Off-peak rates are all above $0.12/kWh, generally more than $0.16/kWh.

One thing to look out for is that until you’re wholely absorbed in, expect your parent company to offer high powered but disgruntled or burnt out managers and individuals from elsewhere in the company positions in your department. They’ll do this in an attempt to retain these folks by offering them an interesting new challenge, but in the vast majority of cases, they’ll spend a few months to a year half-heartedly trying you out and then leaving anyway.
I thought there was an iX3 in the works? No mention of that.
Or stop buying Apple products, which is my end-goal after all of this. Their stuff costs too much money to have them undermining my workflow at their whim.

Apple used to about things that "just work", now they're about things that "don't work anymore".
So how is the state culpable for PG&E's corrupt behavior?
I have a roll of black stickers that get stuck on everything. Latest offender though is a power board that has an LED near the USB ports. I've covered where it's supposed to shine through, but its bright enough that it shines through the USB ports as well. Even if something is plugged in to them!

Is it generally safe to assume that cutting a noisemaker (or LED?) off wont break the rest of the product?

Subversion works with large code bases, but not crazy massive codebases.

The version control is just the tip of the iceberg though, and is largely a solved problem: git or subversion, then perforce or straight to Facebook's mercurial stuff.

It's the other tooling that breaks on large enough mono repos that you have hard time with publicly. Searching your code takes awhile. Cross references don't go wide enough or take too long to generate. Builds take too long. Refactoring tools either take too long or don't support the repo of sufficiently large size.

Mostly this isn't a problem though, because few repos are actually large enough to cause real problems.
As much as I can, currently:

On colo’d hardware:

- off-site backup server (Borg backup on top of zfs) - this is a dedicated box

- a mix of VMs and docker containers - mostly custom web apps

- email (it’s easier than you think)

At home:

- file server using zfs

- Nextcloud

- more custom web apps

- tvheadend

- VPN for remote access (IKEv2)

- gitlab

- gitlab ci

Also run an IPSec mesh between sites for secure remote access to servers etc

While my workplace uses AWS a massive amount, I still prefer to run my own hardware and software. Cloud services are not for me.

A quick thought on regulation:

1. It will generate huge bureaucracy that will most likely be a huge overhead both on money and time.

2. The bureaucracy still have no idea what’s going on.

>I suspect it's the other way around. The supply chains, manufacturing expertise, automation, and skilled labour that are now China's main advantages were created through decades of investment that began with a search for cheap labour, and gradually crept up the value chain.

Of course China started at the bottom of the value chain and moved up. The point I'm making is that China is no longer just a mass of undifferentiated cheap labour and low legal standards - it's a serious industrial power with a lot of unique strengths. A lot of low-skill, low-cost manufacturing has already left China in search of cheaper labour, but China is likely to remain a powerhouse in many industries for the foreseeable future. They're heavily investing in automation and are well-equipped to remain competitive despite rising labour costs.

> Doing this for real-life sports could really change how people train.

Strava live segments kind of do this already and it's more of a curse during training. The hardest part of training for running, aside from the consistent long hours, is taking it easy most of the time. Strava segments cause you to compete with yourself and others and go too hard. This quickly leads to burnout and injury. Slow, consistent runs are what you need during training, and a GPS watch can already give you that.
I've been part of two buyouts, have joined recently bought out teams, a recently IPOed team, and part of four teams looking for a buyer.

I'm talking for personal experience from someone mid-career that moves around a lot in the industry.

The best buyout experiences are the slow embraces instead of a big bear hug. A slow embrace allows both sides to grow while they learn how to support each other. A big bear hug will suffocate the purchased company while all energy is spent assimilating instead of helping customers.
I've got a low frequency hum that has been permeating my environment for years. I have no idea where it is coming from. Low frequencies are especially hard to locate by ear due to their omnidirectional nature. I'm pretty sure there is nothing I can do about it. It has messed up my ability to record music though. I used to be able to record and mix in my living room but that has not been possible for many years now without constantly hearing that noise.
I had the same situation with a partner who couldn’t hear it and got tired of me complaining. I asked a neighbor, and he said he heard it but his wife did not... and that she got tired of him complaining too!

The only solution I found was to turn on an air purifier to generate soft, low pitched white noise. With just a little increase of noise across more frequencies, my brain would relax. I suppose it’s like water drop torture compared to a soft shower.
Does that make hello word the most perfect program? :)
If Uganda or Bangladesh or Libya could make and export vast quantities of cheap consumer electronics, they would. China exports lots of cheap crappy 3d printers because they're the only country on earth with the industrial capacity to make lots of cheap crappy 3d printers. Most of the expensive non-crappy 3d printers are still made in China, because China is really good at making stuff.

This saddens me to hear this. I see in Zillow sooo many instances of a Yellow dot (sold, say 1/2018) then a red dot shows up as of 5/2018 and just sits on the market. The problem? the new neighbors. After analysis my wife and I have concluded, after seeing hundreds of homes (even with acreage) that neighbors are far far far the #1 reason a house goes for sale. It might be kids, dogs or music.

That's what was so weird to me. The guy was an engineer and it never occurred to him to go out and get some scientific measurements? Instead, he just wastes time sending daily emails to city council members and contacting other authorities like the police. It also appears that the sounds not only don't bother most everyone else, but they can't even hear them.

If you are going to make such a concerted effort to fix something, at least get some objective data or else you risk looking like someone with a mental illness or like someone who is "allergic" to WiFi.

Don’t even bother with a tech screen until you know that.

I’m actually a bit relieved to read this, a few weeks back a third-party recruiter submitted me to a pretty well paying Senior DevOps role at a massive fintech company. Their overview and write up of the role was pretty minimal, so I agreed to be submitted hoping to learn more.

The very first interaction from them was a no-reply@ email from HackerRank. I didn’t even know who the internal recruiter was, not even a “Hi my name is blah you, we got your resume from agency” email from a warm blooded human being. Straight to coding test.

If it weren’t for an email address in the HackerRank invitation to contact their recruiting team if the test failed to load or some other issue taking said test, I would have had no means of contacting them.

I sent a polite email thanking them for considering me, and that I’d be happy to help them assess my skills but only after learning more about the company, the team I’d be hired into and having at least a nice to meet you conversation.

They declined, I removed myself from consideration.

Wondered off and on if that was the right call, eventually got over it...but that practice just didn’t sit well with me at the time.
