Still bitter that Fitbit bought Pebble and did apparently nothing worthwhile with the tech or the team they acquired.

I loved my Pebble OG and kept searching for a nice secondhand Pebble Time Steel to upgrade to -- until the Fitbit acquisition where we learned the Pebble ecosystem was unfortunately doomed.

I've since "upgraded" to an Apple Watch S4, but to be honest it's really just a "side-grade" as there are major downsides compared to the Pebble OG, like battery life, lack of always-on display, and the lack of useful tactile buttons.

Being able to switch the currently-playing music track _without having to look at it_ is one thing the Apple Watch can never provide for me. I have to look, see where the UI button is, and tap on exactly the right spot on the screen. It frequently doesn't recognize that I tapped on the fwd/next track button either (presumably because I didn't tap perfectly within the hitbox). This hugely defeats the purpose of a subtle wearable that can stay "out of the way" and not steal your attention.
I am talking about economic slavery when you get 10 cents for a $1 product that you produce. The rest is taken by intermediates and tariffs of various kinds.
A statement like "most statistics don't actually tell most people anything" demonstrates both a profound lack of understanding of statistics. So why comment?

As the old saying goes: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."
Not a lawyer, but isn't this essentially a "corporate gift"? To be treated in the same class as "swag" given out at a conference. It may even be deductible by you up to X dollars ;)

If the project in question is related to your IP, you'll possibly need the full kit: Work-for-Hire contract, W-9 form filed, non-disclosure, etc.

Best of luck and keep us posted what you find out as I'm sure many others will be interested!
More like Javascript is the new Ruby and Go is the new Java.
I think it is worth mentioning that I learned TCL through the Pure Data audio language, which was designed with the idea of continuously supporting at least 20 years of hardware IIRC.

It is such a useful language.

Why should Facebook now be responsible for fact-checking political ads? Watching the testimony where a bunch of politicians basically berated Mark Zuckerberg about how it’s now Facebook’s job to police politicians and keep them honest (because, you know, ALL politicians lie and cannot be trusted) is very telling about the state of our government and democracy. Our leaders cannot police themselves or their peers so they are looking to an outside entity to do it, and moreover casting blame for their own failures.

Political attack ads have always been on cable TV, spouting bold-faced lies and half-truths for as long as I can remember. It now seems that politicians have found a new medium. And they want that service to bear the brunt of their operational status quo. Why not address the real problem in politics that leads to the symptoms of the disease at hand instead of shifting the work and burden of honesty to someone like Facebook? Has it even been proven they are equipped and capable of the task?
All the works-with-nest integrations got killed recently. Infuriated me as that was a major selling point of the platform. I used to have my lights rotate evenings when I wasn't home. Also had my outside lights activate based on nest cam motion detection. All that is gone now and they haven't improved the base services for ages. It's too bad since the hardware is all really top notch.
> It's always "from one language to another“

Hmmm, sometimes it’s “from one version of a language to another version of the same language”. As is the case with Babel[0] and JavaScript.

I agree with parent that while people will still start JS projects today they'd probably be better off with TS.
Well I can't know all intricate details but I've heard and not once from my friend's kids something in line of: but dad everyone has an iPhone and I must have one too. Maybe it is not representative but that's what I've heard.

On top of that I got customers for my software and ones that own Mac/iOS are are shall I say very vocal. Here is the literal quote: when are you guys going to have your product for Mac? You should know that Windows sucks and no one will take your product seriously. All my friends have Mac and iPhone.

I’d say this stance is based on the presupposition that a solution implemented imperfectly is in fact good, or at least better than no solution implemented at all. You say yourself that this would require FB to make (naturally subjective) judgements about what is or is not political. The very best case scenario would be that FB ends up marginalizing fringe views.

But would you even trust FB as an organisation to reach a level of neutrality where only the most fringe views were marginalized? I certainly wouldn’t. The alternative is simply that FB leaves it up to the audience to make their own judgements about the credibility of the content they view, something I’d consider to be a far superior outcome. Nothing FB does will ever relieve people of the burden of thinking for themselves.
> Admittedly, I don't know it isn't just falling back to v4 for a period when the prefix changes.

At the very least, IPv4 fallback takes a few seconds for each DNS query, and I've experienced it failing completely in some cases (can't recall if I ever figured out why). So regardless it's a PITA when it happens.

I tried disabling the option for it to advertise itself as a DNS and instead insert the local IPv4 address in the DHCP options but to no avail, clients still ended up with public IPv6 as main DNS.

After a few hours of trying to fix it I just turned off IPv6 again.
> Monero which might have claim to be truly untraceable

They haven't. The developers are very upfront about its limitations.
The Next Firewall Chasm Is
it started more than 10 years ago. My hunch is on a mutual undestanding between major providers and some maturity of the equipment that supports IPv6.

googling "what is my IP" from Telekom or MNet results in a IPv6. Virtually all routers support this by default.

Unfortunatelly, mobile/4G is still on IPv4. Can't really explain it.
I did; it sounded mostly hand-wavy.

Maybe there are deep reasons why it's impossible, but they are not well presented in the OP, unfortunately.
FWIW you can upgrade to the S5 to get an always-on display. I upgraded from S2 to S5 and I love it. Better late than never. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a red herring - there's no law against untruthful political advertising. Such a law, broadly enforced, would likely be unconstitutional and how do you suppose that you enforce it? Also, if that was the law, it wouldn't be up to corporations to determine what is true and the responsibility would fall between the politicians and the regulatory body that decides what the truth is. That sounds to me like a totalitarian nightmare but I suppose YMMV.
You would exist again and after you die from that theory for infinity. I'm confused how you associate existential dread with it?
I tried Lucky, Amber, then finally Kemal which is more of a Sinatra. It was the only thing that compiled fast enough to feel productive.
Actually, law does not always use intent. Intent is the primary basis for one of the philosophies of jurisprudence, not every judicial body/judge follows that. See textualism for an example where intent is irrelevant.
Sorry, why do you think that?

More complete combustion would result in more CO2, H2O, and energy. The by products from incomplete combustion are the ones we want to limit - CO, C, various N and S compounds etc.

Have you looked into Garmin's watches? Granted, they're expensive, but these are some of the main reasons I love my fenix. (In addition to it functioning as a very capable bike computer.)
FWIW my Apple Watch S4 can go a whole weekend on a single charge. I don't use mine extensively, though I do use Apple Pay for every transaction that I can. You can def go 2-2.5 days on a single charge.
Who is gonna play wait-and-see in this day and age? We're not in the 90's where one had to wait for the product to be announced, then built, then shipped on a CD.
In the EU, yep. I remember in Austria having to withdraw "80" so I wouldn't get stuck with yet another 100 EUR note. You get used to finding the ATMs that let you get the smaller note sizes, because damn I hate being the jerk in the group that forces the waiter to break up your 50 or 100

Give a non-technical user a copy of Windows 10 and Chrome, wait a few days for the third party ad networks to catch up, and then watch as advertisement after advertisement pop up in the lower right hand corner.

I'd also like to mention the Microsoft News program as being an annoying delivery mechanism for such content (it seems to have some relationship with the browser based on how the user uses the Internet).
You're correct that CDE used to be the standard for GCCS, run on HP-UX.

I think it's mostly Windows based for that particular thing now (the actual real time consoles use a Unix but with a custom UI - not CDE -- as I recall), but it's been a few years since I was in that world.
My idea is that the minority will be false negatives.

The key principle of security is to deny all, allow a closed subset. Same here: allow what is obviously clear and has no hidden parts, and ask a confirmation for all the rest, legitimate or not.
In what way can you not open it? Are the torx screws stripped? I did the "display shim" fix a couple times and it worked very well, but indeed it does rely on opening the case and putting it back together...
You're arguing past the GP. They're saying "here's some practical tips, in the real world, at this point in space time, to stay safe while riding a bicycle". And you're talking about how that sucks, and it shouldn't have to be that way. Ok right, it shouldn't. But that's how it is. Do you want to ride a bicycle safely or not?
> Facebook has no business saying which ads are wrong/lies

I mean it can and it does. The problem for Facebook is who Facebook should pander to. Politicians that want to break up Facebook, Google and co, or their opponent? There is an obvious conflict of interest, but many businesses have no problem promoting this or that political camp or politicians.

What is interesting in Facebook case is the internal struggle between the top and some political activist employees who disagree on who Facebook should give a platform to.

It used to be fantastic when you could click on the help button on a form or hit the F1 key, and a local help file would come right up. This capability used to be very emphasized in the Microsoft documentation - a million years ago, before 2000.

Sadly, it's all gotten lost in the shuffle over time, and 1.) Nobody writes comprehensive documentation anymore and 2.) Nobody knows the capabilities that are built in for desktop software to take advantage of.

Isn't that already the case? You can already search all political ads and see who ran them, how much was paid, and the number of people who saw the ad.
I wish I could help, but it sounds like I misread in the other direction! I have not actually tried it out, it's on my list of todos. Good luck!
I have just been interviewing at several companies that have highly technical interviews in London, and about 80% of the interviewers who asked questions about hash maps expected me to assume that hashmaps imply constant-time lookups.

People tend to dismiss the statistics related to hash collisions because they think they are absolutely irrelevant to “real-life scenarios”.
You could check logreducer.

There’s another tool, but I can’t think of the name right now.
The drug convictions draw the most attention because they're the most absurd - an entire sector of criminality created by moral crusaders pushing sadistic fundamentalism for what amounts to a public health problem.

The forgeries presumably wronged someone, and so it's easy to see it deserves some kind of punishment. Even if the magnitude of the sentence is draconian, subjectivity means this isn't as clear-cut of an argument.

Nah, I already got the Apple Watch S4 as a gift so it will be a long time before I am looking for a new smartwatch! One day though, I'd definitely scour all the options available to me :)
The only reason people use tether is to avoid AML/KYC. It's why the other stable-coins from "legitimate" sellers like Coinbases' USDC aren't used by anyone for anything. If I just wanted "electronic dollars" dollars I'd just fire up my web banking portal. The only value it provides is crime. Yes, it should be illegal. In fact it probably is.
Ah yeah, I have iCloud sync off for everything except the one free iCloud email account. :)
What I've ended up doing is charging my fitbit for 15min every morning while I get dressed.

It's enough to go from ~60% to ~80% and fits in as a daily habit, so my watch is almost always between 65% and 80%, It can track my sleep (I exclusively use my watch for tracking sleep, tracking exercise, tracking heartrate and telling the time. I don't have notifications enabled)

Then perhaps the best feature of charging the watch in this way, is that if you forget to charge (or unexpectedly away from home), the watch will always last for 3 extra days.

And if you are going away on short weekend trips, you don't need to pack your charger, just make sure it's at 100% before you leave for a reliable 4 days of usage.

Ousterhout's book on Tcl has a chapter one that is essentially "How to do small reusable things in unix and win" - it's absolutely brilliant and explains how to think in unix and why composable entities with simple interfaces have done so well. SQLite and TCL are the best of unix philosophy made concrete. I just read in this thread that he expanded it to an entire book - I'll be reading that as soon as I finish binging The Family Man on Prime Video. Extending TCL with a new C command is exactly as hard as a CS 101 C program (which at the time was the lower limit on easy for CS folk).
Happily paying for the alpha, and using to host a personal project. Sourcehut already has more features than I'm taking advantage of. It does very well the thing it needs to do most, which is to be a git remote I can access from anywhere.
Ah yeah I am aware of that -- though I understand the S5 also has quite a bit less battery life? Is that correct? I'm pretty happy with battery life on the S4!
Absolutely agree! Also I think many of us have so many systems that either can't / won't support IPV6 that it is just way too much hassle vs private addreses & a NAT gateway!
Education probably doesn’t matter. Convenience will always trump education. What would work would be enforcement, if you’re fairly likely to get slammed with a $500 ticket for blocking the lane that will actually stop the behavior.
Hmm -- assumed time complexity for well-built hash functions for get / put operations is O(1), is it not? Sure, absolute worst-case means every operation is going to collide. Hash functions themselves are O(1)... I'm not sure what you mean by "implicit factor of D"? Like hashing is going inflate the runtime by a small factor basically equivalent to the edit distance in Myers' approach?

I've been looking through a little bit more literature and it's clear to me that my implementation as it stands is not equipped to solve the Longest Common Substring problem [0]. Right now it's too greedy. I think with a tweak it could.

I think I'm mostly just surprised because when I sat down at my computer today, I had the impression that diffing was a "hard problem" -- to be able to implement something that (apparently) works in a short timeframe made me feel as though I did something wrong. (I have this code running in a staging environment now with a code editor, and it seems to be working smoothly and as expected.)

Or sell your vote, that'd be a way for the wealthy to more directly take control of society.

I'm sure there's solutions to that though, either technical or legal.
War was lost a decade ago. The United States is completely dependent on China. Big companies need China because it’s the only place left they can get double digit growth and small companies need China because it’s the only place they can get things made—either in part or in whole—and be competitive.

Capitalism ate itself. All China had to do was play the game.

“It is not possible to make inferences about the geographical origin of modern humans in Africa based solely on patterns of variation in modern populations. This is because humans migrate over long distances. They migrated out of Africa and across the globe within the past 80,000 years and they have migrated across Africa in the recent and ancient past.”

Actually, China has many of the same ideals codified into law that the West has.

https://www.usconstitution.net/china.html#Article2

>Article 35. Freedom of speech, press, assembly
Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration.

The reasons why people in both societies enjoy those rights differently is much more complicated than just whether they are codified.
I don't really get the affinity of Go and Ruby. The most similar thing I could say about them both is that they're both not Java. This makes sense from a hiring sense, either your hiring from the large Jvm/.Net pools or you're not.

I suppose both Ruby and Go have less steep learning curves compared to Java/Kotlin/Scala.

I can't wait until Go v2 gets generics then I can use it like other statically-typed compiled, gc'd languages. At the rate of Go language development, Java might get coroutines and value-types before then.

I haven't used Rust but I read the "Rust where the compiler constantly shouts “fuck you”" quote differently. I read it as, where the non-existent Ruby compiler will shout “fuck you” in production.
I write custom scripts for strategies, pulling data from places like Alpaca, IB, CCXT; charting using bokeh, plotly, mpl and other repos; zipline for backtesting... It really depends on the need; and the speed.
It seems to me that you could also rent to people who would wanna try the car before they buy it. Heck, put that in the app. "Get 10,000 airline mile on your credit reports right now of you buy this rental!"
I've thought about these things a lot. There are so many logical problems with an afterlife. Heaven/Utopia doesn't make sense because it would have to be based on your current life. (do you arrive old or young in heaven etc) Reincarnation is problematic because you would have to stand in a queue while waiting for your soul to be assigned to a new body. My theory with the least amount of logical flaws is assuming that there is a global soul which is reading the "standard input" from all philosophical zombies simultaneously or it only selects one philosophical zombie.

None of this really matters because only depressed people worry about the "meaning" of life, primarily because they have been denied all other sources of "meaning" and therefore cling to the one thing everyone (including themselves) has: a life. It's only human to grow attached to things and our lives are our most priced possessions after all.

I regularly see people claiming that if no action is taken in the next 12 years humanity will go extinct. This runs contrary to mainstream climate science.

To start you'd want voters to register first I think, so you can't just invent people, at least not without being able to infiltrate the systems that manage birth certificates, tax records, and social-security ids.

That raises the question of how do you avoid double-voting or voting for people who didn't vote. I think there's technical solutions to both.
