Not sure if this qualifies, but an interesting development which was new to me not so long ago was discovering the iPhone X has the ability to measure things with the camera. I.e. the measure app allows you to designate a point in the scene, draw a line and add another point and it will measure the distance. Also has nice snapping features and the ability to take a pic of the scene with the measurements superimposed on top.
I 100% agree but I would bet the issue is unit cost for the hardware. Anything with reasonable resolution is going to be in the four digit dollar range per sensor.
> in Spain I’m told that would not make much of a difference

If you are told that, is simple. You are being lied (and pretty gullible).

Lied by the same people that keep repeating "Spain is baaad!, baaad!, baaah!, baaah!, baaah!".

Okay, Lets talk about judicial safety procedures. The entire trial was public, transparent, broadcasted in direct on TV, and can be watched in internet if you want to freely make your own opinion (and die of boredom). The sentence was justified in 493 pages that you can also read in this link, because... surprise! we, the PIGS, had the same ancient laws than in the rest of the stupendous Europe. We adopted this laws earlier in fact and Roman law is still studied and relevant for lawyers.

> the "worlds of abundance" are made of relationships. And not in a good way.

That doesn't sound entirely true. Imagine TNG, the typical abundance utopia (or Culture, insert your favorite post-scarcity society here). While it's true that you need relationships to be on the Enterprise, you don't need relationships to go to your replicator and get whatever material product you fancy.

Instead, dependencies seem come from two things combined: abundance plus centralization. Or economically: a fixed cost, and abundance beyond that fixed cost. You need a relationship with Spotify because Spotify is the one who holds the keys to the library. Contrast it to a world where piracy is legal: you wouldn't need a relationship with BitTorrent to download music, because it has no entry cost. You might need a relationship with private trackers if you're not content with the public ones, but again - that's because the private trackers hold the keys to the abundance beyond.
That's why taking your phone to a demo is a bad idea.

Better build your own device.

No, because car lights only illuminate some of the surrounding area. You can't illuminate much more without causing issues for other road users (which is why there are laws around car head lamp & bulb design & usage).
The FreeStyle Libre is a way cheaper option (and also way easier to gain access to for those of us in the UK under the NHS). Strictly speaking is not a CGM, as you have to manually scan the sensor to retrieve the last eight hours of data. However, there are devices sold by smaller manufacturers such as the MiaoMiao [1] or Blucon [2]. You mount these devices on top of the sensor (I have heard that wig glue is a good choice to attach it), which then reads the data via NFC and sends it out via Bluetooth to whatever “smart“ device that you may own. Effectively turning your FreeStyle Libre into a “CGM lite”, albeit with lover accuracy than a Dexcom.

[2]: https://www.ambrosiasys.com/our-products/blucon

A word on accuracy, as a type 1 diabetic I have not pricked my fingers once since I got onto the FreeStyle Libre almost six months ago and I am achieving excellent control of my day-to-day levels. Take from this single data point what you may, but I want to offer it as a counter weight to the “need for calibration” I heard before I received the device.

I am currently holding off on getting a MiaoMiao2 until mid-November just to avoid the first few batches of the device that may or may not have manufacturing issues (simply being cautious, I have no evidence). Having easy access to continuous historical data changed my life as a type 1 diabetic, imagine having pain-free and instant access to your levels when you are on the go, stressed out, sick, or just as you wake up in the middle of the night. Then add to this being able to look back eight hours in time to adjust your mental model when things go wrong. It is a matter of night and day. Now I am hoping that turning it all live will make things even better.
I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. I'm only talking about the logical objects, not the physical representation. You can still store diffs and you can still have history hashes if that helps you with storage, processing, etc. -- that's perfectly fine. The storage optimizations should be independent of the logical structure. I'm just saying the logical identity of a commit shouldn't depend on its history. For example, if someone removes a commit from the history, that shouldn't have to trash anyone's repo and be such a massively destructive operation. It should only cause a client (in the worst case) to resync its history hashes from that point onward the next time it pulls -- which is quite a cheap, fast, and non-intrusive operation. (Say, 100k commits with 20B SHA-1 hashes would just be ~2MB.)
So you can earn points by picking your favorite designs, but why can you lose them?
Hi, I maintain httpx. I'll try to answer your concerns.

The API was not a question of preference. If you look at most http lib APIs (python requests included), a single call returns a response object. My goal was to keep compatibility with this API to ease the migration effort, while baking in support for concurrent requests, which was the whole point of the lib.

There is no parallelism in that call btw. It's in the Readme. If it's http/2, it'll multiplex requests. If it's http/1, it'll try to pipeline, and if doesn't work, it'll fetch them one by one (with or without keep-alive). If they're different origins, the requests will be managed inside an event loop.

> Why not use composition instead?

You'll have to explain with an example of your own. However, there's already a ticket for implementing an event-based request handling, I just never prioritized it because no one asked for it yet, no one has shown interest in contributing, and frankly, I haven't needed it yet.

> Now you're stuck with this API forever.

It's still early 0.x days, so I might still remove APIs I don't think are future proof. That said, a lot of libs have lived with similar APIs all these years, and I don't see any reason for removing it.

> And we also have to abandon 1.3 billion people in the process. For example, people in North Korea are starving[0]. It's just we don't pay much attention to it. Is this evil necessary?

Can we save them all? We've given North Korea free grain shipments before to help their population, the government just resold it for cash. And we can't topple a government that's willing to use nuclear weapons just to stay in power.

At some point you just have to wait for a better chance. The Soviet bloc was just as unjust and abusive, but before Gorbachev, there was simply no chance of getting rid of it without a hundred million dead in the process. We can only hope that North Korea (or China, hypothetically) appoint benign reformers at some point.
>I don’t know how they can claim autonomous driving “coming soon.”

How is easy: it doesn't cost anything, and makes them profit.

It's like how the had the gal to nam their system "Autopilot" when it's not, and full awareness is required from the driver in the small print...
Do you mean, that vs something like this?

responses = HTTPX.get("/page1").
get("/page2").
start

My guess is that the focus of HTTPX being parallel requests, the author choose an API that explicitly groups them together. The documentation is pretty sparse, I wonder if we can pass an array of URLs to get().

Alas, according to statements and actions by US police forces, they do feel these types of products are legitimate for use by themselves. The way to change that is by making this illegal - there will always be suppliers so long as use is legal given how deep the police forces' warchest is.
Nokia had big screen touch-centric smartphone model prototypes long before Apple even dreamed doing phones. It was not like the idea was not there.

It was classical engineer vs. designer/marketer viewpont.

It's slower to write in touch-screen. From objective engineering perspective it's backwards in ergonomy. But most people who are not power users like Obama and his blacberry addiction. They just want to point and drag and big screen is better for pointing.

Steve Jobs saw the trade-off. Uses are willing to write slower and do more errors in exchange of bigger screen. Nokia engineers were doing ssh connections with Nokia Communicator and iPhone UI sucked small planets for anyone writing a lot. Touch-screens are still slower for writing.
Trying it now. At 0.3x it also has these weird ripples in the sound as if it just loops very short sequences.

There must be a better way!
> The C-family of languages has quirky syntax, grossly unsafe semantics and slow compilers but is overall quite flexible to use. This is mostly thanks to its meta-programming features like the preprocessor and, in C++'s case, to templates.

> The Pascal family of languages has an unpleasant, overly verbose syntax but fast compilers. It also has stronger type systems and extensive runtime checks make it far safer to use. However, it lacks most of the metaprogramming capabilities that I wanted to see in a language.

While Nim somehow is not appealing to me, this absolutely nails it.
ASCII was designed for typewriters, not video terminals.

"×" is the same as "x". "÷" can be made by overstriking ":" and "-". The quotation marks needed to also function as
accents, by overstriking: "ë é è".

CR and LF are separate operations on a typewriter. You might want to simulate bold type by sending CR and retyping part (or all) of a line.

[ and ] were added for the benefit of Algol, and other programming languages with an Algol-derived syntax. Though it was recognized that these characters were less essential, and these code points were left undefined in ISO 646, the international version of ASCII. This is also why the brackets were put in the alphabet part of the ASCII table, in other countries these code points would've been used for letters that weren't part of the English alphabet.

It was anticipated that some manufacturers would use a 6-bit subset of ASCII. (Even 5-bit and 4-bit subsets were considered.) This would mean that the lower case block would be collapsed on the upper case block. So they needed to find characters that could be useful but would still make sense when rendered as [ and ]. Hence { and }.

Hope this helps. A lot of thought went into ASCII, but many of the considerations became obsolete during the 70s. And you could say that any terminal that does not support overstriking, does not properly support ASCII :)
It's a comment by @rfc1459 on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/5672 "The CFO trying to overrule issues raised by the Director of Global Risk and Compliance. \n\n Just... wow." relating to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/merge_requests/14182#no... - which on closer reading refers to snowplow, not Pendo.

So what's "good enough"? Even if these systems don't prevent all collisions they'll often vastly reduce the speeds at which they happen.
This is more than a buzzword - this a metaphoric tool of thought that could drive a whole marketing (anti-marketing?) campaign by itself.

That's debatable. Also, it depends if it's persistent, reflected, or DOM-based XSS. Persistent XSS would be more likely to be considered an attack against the server/application, though I could see the counterargument as well. Reflected could go either way, and DOM-based would be the least likely to be considered a server attack.

> Essentially every song is on Spotify

Lucio Battisti is possibly the most popular songwriter in Italy ever. His songs were added to Spotify one month ago for the first time. And even now, the catalogue is not complete.

The Beatles today are there, but they were missing for a long time. King Crimson have been added in June.

I don't know what you mean by "essentially every song", but they are just now adding albums from the most popular artists, I would think many minor things are still missing

Meta data from regular operation, combined with data from apps, and OS telemetry is probably be such a treasure trove that backdooring the baseband processor is probably overkill in most cases, and while I suspect there are phones backdoored in this manner the real threat will not likely be government agencies for most people; it's the risk that non-government actors discovers it and abuses it for criminal purposes.

I suspect various alphabet agencies are perfectly aware of this, and that they're actively avoiding such measures unless they're considered strictly neccesary. After all, imagine the media shit-storm if some North-Korean hacker group managed to start mining bitcoin with 2 billion Android devices and it turns out that NSA put in the back door that allowed it.

Except, it's not labeled as opinion. At this point I just consider the entirely of The Guardian an an opinion piece.
The article has obviously nothing to do with mindfulness and is a cheap attack on capitalism from the growing socialist revolution propaganda machine.

Anyone who actually knows what mindfulness is can immediately see that they're building the biggest strawman ever with the sole purpose of forcing anti capitalist agenda down our throats.

Remember this: It used to be that news were facts and you formulated an opinion on them. Now the news is opinion and you're trying to figure out what the facts were.

I think you missed part of the subtitle. The one on the left has had contrast adjusted, the one on the right has not and matches the one you posted. The watercolor artifacts are just as visible on your link as they are on the right half of the picture I posted.

I find them incredibly noticeable, even on your link.
China is a genocidal state, and the supposedly hundreds of millions of supporters of that state policy in China are also genocidal by definition. I see no reason not to disrespect them. This is not "a difference of opinion" it's an ethnic cleansing, not something you brush off to polite disagreement. Yes, absolutely ostracize them, that's what you do to people who support genocide. 100% of the time any civilized person should resist them in any way they can.

This is not only ridiculous, it may actually be dangerous journalism because it hints at the fact that this may be a conspiracy by the people 'ruling the world'. And it does that with no real evidence.

Yes? At any point in time you can buy or sell a discrete number of shares in a finite universe of stocks.

The bigger difference in equity trading is that it's a "game" of hidden information with asymmetric and maybe unknown payoffs. Of course, computers are pretty good at trading stocks, too, but I can say confidently AlphaZero won't be the most useful approach.
You're possibly right about the relevancy, the figures aren't accurate either.

There is a whole industry catering to people buying 'luxuries' on credit they can't really afford.

Over here in the UK, the main culprit is a company called Bright House. They sell new household electronics and other goods on credit at around 70% to 100% APR.

They exploit the rush you get when you buy something shiny and new. For a lot of their customers, it is the only way to kit out the house with new appliances and furniture. The ability to do that gives their customers a false sense of achievement and secuirity which is exactly what these lenders exploit.
These are indeed the places where Apple extended their version of Pascal. C-style calling convention support, pointer arithmetic, much better I/O, and a host of things I can't remember. Suffice to say that when I started working at Apple (towards the end of the Pascal era) I was pretty comfortable, even though I'd been doing mostly C for a long time. This was definitely not the language we had to use in college.

(No tagged unions, though. Systems guys are allergic to 'em, apparently).

Apple also added object-oriented features, but I don't count those as addressing anything borken or awkward in the base language.

I own a 3 and my opinion is while people are raving over the new summon features they should instead realize that it also shows how far off autonomous driving truly is. Just go watch all the videos, all we truly have is a 60k RC car that moves slower than a RC car and still requires permission to move.

Now the current software does very well on limited access roads; highways and interstates; and has for over a year that I have owned the car. It does fine on two lane roads but the use cases there are far more limited and mostly to showing off for friends. Well that and doing stuff you normally would wait till your stopped to do.
