Before I decide to use an open source library, I check bug reports and see attitude of the library maintainer before I use it. If there is a lot of WONTFIX or arrogant attitude, I simple stay away from such a library.

You can't fix the problem you're describing by fiddling with time standards. Even before timezones became a thing, people started waking up to get to work at a fixed time of day.

What changed things was the need for everyone to be at a workplace at the same time to be productive (factories mostly).
The FAA establishes complete "no-fly" zones where you may never fly a UAS period. These are zones like active landing/takeoff routes and areas with low flying aircraft like the fire fighting aircraft in the article.

I have never heard of someone obtaining FAA authorization to fly a UAS in one of these zones, so I seriously doubt someone using a ready-to-fly kit would be able to do so.

One common misconception is the difference between a no-fly zone and controlled airspace. If you want to fly in controlled airspace (within 3 miles of an airport or so), you can obtain said authorization using the LAANC system. It's extremely easy, you just install an app, verify your phone number, and submit the flight request.
The Senior Software Developer position doesn't specify remote. Is remote available for that position?
Especially considering birth control wasn’t available until recently.
I think you're seriously projecting (as perhaps am I). Not everyone will view a useless $2K gift the way you would (on both the sender and receiver's side).
> If it's GitHub and the issues tracker is enabled - it's ok for most of the people as they probably have a GitHub account already (but I still believe there are people who don't).

80% of 'creators' on the internet have never heard of GitHub [0,1]. If we use 1 repo per person, we get about 1M people using git. Assume the 1-9-90 ratio, and you get about 100M people that have heard of git or clicked on something like it even once. About 5B people use the internet today. Say the same 1-9-90 ratio applies to users of the internet. You get ~500M 'creators' on the internet. Assume all of the people that have used git are 'creators' on the internet. 100M out of 500M is ~20% of the 'creators'. Meaning that if a random 'creator' is selected, there is a 1/5 chance they have used git in addition to using whatever thing they are currently using. This is a quick and dirty run-down neglecting a lot of stuff (english language, age ranges, sex differences, firewalls, etc) and smoothing over a lot of stuff too (1 repo/person, age ranges, 1-9-90 ratio, etc). But I hope it demonstrates that it is not anywhere close to safe to assume that anyone paying you for a product has any idea what GitHub is.

This software doesn't need Internet. I agree there must be some way to control them manually, but it'll probably be something like a gamepad than a full steering wheel and pedals.
Free Speech Means Free Speech
Lots of scientists are on twitter. Great platform to announce papers, occasionally debate a question, announce jobs, offer introductions etc. Feels a lot like a perpetual conference
There is, but modern art doesn't want to share. Contemporary galleries rarely display non-abstract/Modern art, and art schools are dropping classical techniques required for representational art (such as life drawing):

The Slade school in London used to be world-famous for turning out fine British draftsmen. A distinguished British painter who taught at the Slade asked me, 'How did you learn how to do animation?' I answered that I was lucky enough to have done a lot of life drawing at art school, so without realizing it I got the feeling for weight which is so vital to animation.

Then I said, 'What am I telling you for? You're teaching at the Slade and it's famous for its life drawing and excellent draftsmen.'

'If the students want to do that,' he said, 'then they've got to club together and hire themselves a model and do it in their own home.' At first I thought he was joking - but no! Life drawing as a subject went out years ago. It wasn't even on the curriculum!

DJI already have a process for getting clearance to fly in restricted zones. It's called flysafe self unlock.

[Edit: changed "no-fly" to restricted]
Agreed that nature has plenty to teach us, where I slightly disagree is that controlling and optimizing biology is the better path to future tech.

Yes, cells are nanobots, but they're nanobots "designed"/evolved by nature with deeply complex goals and incentives often orthogonal to ours. Cells come with a lot of evolutionary baggage and many constraints owing to its extensive optimization.

From my perspective, it's like hijacking a crazy project that doesn't belong to us. It's not clear to me that taming insanely complex cells to serve our goals is better than building traditional engineering up to do the same thing.

I compare this tension to ARM vs x86 for mobile devices. Mobile devices uniquely require extreme power efficiency, and ARM processors are dominant because they satisfy that critical requirement even though they're less capable than other processors. Intel wanted to enter the mobile market and they already own the more capable x86 platform, but its power efficiency is a lot worse. Can Intel retrofit ARM-level power efficiency onto its deeply complex and desktop/server-optimized x86 processors before ARM builds up to x86's level of capability?

Honestly, I don't confidently know the answer and you could be right. But I think it's telling that centuries of medicine and decades of biotech have been a slow grind producing very narrow solutions (eg. invented a chemical cocktail to treat one type of cancer, tweaked a plant to contain more of a certain type of nutrient and be resistant to a handful of common diseases/bugs) while ground-up engineering is seemingly exponential, where today's tiny portable processor is orders of magnitude more advanced than the state of the art only a few decades before.

Yeah, nature and biology has a headstart, but we don't have to spend a thousand years figuring out how to develop an appendix.
It's more that had you asked, the reaction would be a kneejerk "no."

So you delay asking as long as possible so that you can present whatever it is as already successful, at which point the bureaucratic tendency to stasis is more on your side than against.
Of course, but majority of people aren't informed enough about these situations and that has created a negative loop which allows these companies to exploit lack of knowledge on their customers' part in an increasing rate.
Oh, I see. I misunderstood your point.

> Would that be a complete silver bullet, tho? Nope.

I don't think anyone would disagree!

> So I agree with you that using a language with C++ isn't exactly "optimal"

Yeah, I think the distinction here is that I don't consider it "suboptimal" I consider it to be an absolute disaster. I would call rust "suboptimal" in that the language contains some soundness holes and the stdlib contains unsafe - issues, but practically still a massive improvement.

I really like that this by default remembers your place in the book. Between Nov.el, pdf-tools, pdf-view-restore, and the fact that most non pdf files convert pretty easily to epub I think one can now use emacs as reading software pretty easily and with far less effort.

The bindings are even similar save for o for outline in pdf-tools and t for table of contents.

One suggestion would be a function to search the entire document since in buffer search will only search the current chapter.

Really awesome progress.

It isn't as simple as X kPa does Y damage.

Damage also occurs due to dynamic loading, which depends upon suspension, tire weight, weight shifts between axles, and braking action (frictional horizontal loads).
I saw that it's actually going through all the website urls and makes a request for each. To be optimisitic, each request takes 1 second, that's 1m seconds. That's ~10 days, so doesn't seem unrealistic it would actually take ton of time.
But you can only get JPEGs that way. No way to grab RAWs from the camera. But most android apps I use to finalize images do support RAW now. Google Photos supports RAW etc., etc.

Also, I almost always seem have to restart the app once or twice until my camera shows up. This is on three different android phones that I've gone through since I bought my a7II.

I can't really effectively screenshot what makes it different. The feel of using it is a bit different than you'd expect by even watching a video. The bar itself is only a few pixels wide and when you approach it with your cursor, a little thumb slider pops out that you can either click and drag, or click the embedded up/down buttons to scroll. I'm personally not a fan, but it's an interesting design.

Here's a random picture I found on the internet https://linuxx.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/0efc591e71f10...
".. that we should look for inspiration in the circuit boards of washing machines and the advice of old Bell Labs telephone repair manuals if we want to find the design principles of gene-regulatory networks." Makes sense. Being able to mentally formulate an analog solution from a digital problem is a dying art that is mainly the domain of those alive at the time of analog and digital interaction.
I think it's fair to say DDG (i.e. Bing) is clearly worse than Google, which is a real shame.

However, it's still usable and you can resort to google when a search query isn't working.
I still remember in the early 00's there were software haphazardly ported from classic Mac OS to Windows and they retained the non-proportional scrolling indicator. It felt very off on Windows.

I agree. Officials should instead use their limited resources to down such drones forcefully and violently. Bans clearly aren’t doing the job.
using a .io for this is genius lol
My other comment:

I agree with everything you said, I want to add a little nuance. There is a difference between “getting promoted” and having “more freedom and more leeway for future endeavors.”

Even if your title doesn’t change or you don’t desire an official “promotion”, doing what you suggested is a way of being “more equal than others”. In my company, almost everyone comes to me for advice including management about areas that I have shown myself to be adept in. I get freedom to implement things and introduce technologies because of trust. Not only have I not gotten a promotion - I actively refused one.
But that would place the responsibility to enforce GDPR on browsers vendors, not publishers. GDPR is about private information, the browser isn't interested in that, the publisher is, so the responsibility falls on the publishers.
Big fan of your work.

Once I get my desk rebuilt I will fire up my PowerPC collection again.
Horizontal scrolling works.
From my perspective, a lot of the problem is that there are very legitimate uses for cookies and other types of local storage, outside of advertising and other sorts of tracking. IE remembering user preferences, knowing what messages they've seen, that kind of thing. It would be a huge hindrance to not be able to persist any kind of state between visits. The real issue in most cases are third party cookies from ads and other trackers, but in almost everyone's understanding these are all lumped together into the single category of 'cookies'.

Of course, it's not quite as simple as "first party cookies fine, third party bad", since when you're on a domain like google.com for example, a whole lot of tracking goes on with first party cookies. But still, that can be dealt with. If I were coming up with a regulation (be it enforced at the browser or site level) it would make a distinction between first party cookies on domains serving up to X users per month, first party cookies on domains serving over X users per month, and third party cookies on all domains. The first of those categories could, I think, be unregulated. Save messages and/or restrictions for the other two and I think it would go a lot further toward achieving the goals of these sorts of initiatives, while being much less of a useless annoyance.

Firefox is going in this direction somewhat with their default blocking of third party cookies, but there's nothing they can really do unilaterally to treat first party cookies on google.com differently from bobsblog.com.
The Nature paper is about the use of ML to augment regular statistical methods with a higher degree of match quality. This is because the neural network is able to identify dataset features beyond mere obvious group intersects.
For a paper book. But for an electronic book it's the opposite. An author/publisher has no idea about the size of the screen of the device the book is going to be read on + many people like to tweak the font and its size. And you don't need the actual numbers as long as you have a clickable ToC.

Page numbers can indeed be very useful for the purpose of non-electronic referencing of pieces of a text, especially if a printed edition of the book exists you need to collaborate with people having such but I would rather use simple anchor tags for this.
My roadblock with that is when I tell people I try to not use Google properties, they look at me like i'm some sort of conspiracy theorist loon. :/
But those opt-out capabilities are as clear-cut as most of GDPR banners.

edit: mea culpa, I somehow missed bunch of keys and there is a missing negation in my comment which should read "But those opt-out capabilities aren't as clear-cut as most of GDPR banners." I mean: the UI isn't there to opt out of affiliated adtech networks or to store the amount of details the user is willing to share.
In the case of continued deadlock, the water-dropping helicopters will have to become unmanned. (which may even make sense on its own given lowered risk to human pilot)

there may even be a load of upshots: the tyranny of the helicopter equation, mass deployment of firefighting drones from other regions not currently facing fires (without needing to temporarily house pilots from far away), ...

there will always be a trade-off between risk to the firefighter and potential reward for risky moves. with unmanned vehicles the fire might be more effectively fought without needing to take into account the loss of pilots, thus allowing more effective fire fighting moves to be taken.
> To run it you'll need either 2Gb of RAM

What? I guess this is a toy program used to learn clojure or sth - it even uses sed for line parsing. A 10-line php script could do the same with a few MB of RAM
Regarding technical queries, they consistently return links to the python 2 docs, never python 3.

What I assume people do is they click on the python 2 docs then change the version on the python website. So, from bings perspective it looks like people want the python 2 links. It always frustrates me and makes looking stuff up longer than needed.
That’s a great statement. Actions taken without orders will usually end up with at most a slap on the wrist “for not following the process” or a wink and “that was a great idea but can you try not to step on toes?”. Actions against orders is insubordination.
I was hoping they'd poke some humor at what modern websites do to the scrollbar. Scrollbars have worked well for so many years, why must web developers change it to an un-standardized mess? I'm talking about features like css-enabled smooth scrolling and infinite scroll everywhere.
Which organ is closest to being 3D printed for real patients? I've seen articles about 3D printed livers and hearts almost a decade ago.
Annulus is the outer pipe, right? Well, inspect it infrequently, but not infrequently enough for the corrosion to cause a spill out of the outer (wider) pipe.

But actually, scratch that. We're in the modern era now. Send a drone into the outer pipe, and use some sensors (perhaps also video) to detect excessive moisture, or corrosion, or whatever. So it's no longer expensive.
The photo of the flowchart template - it must have been the 80s when my mum got one of these and gave it to me, but by then it was in a plastic wrapper rather than a paper one. I guess everyone doing a IBM course got one.
You mean, the cost _to them_ is so small they don't care.
What about the rest of the world? Everyone uses Google, not just the US.
IIRC, in the early days, they did ask for every cookie.
I too have enjoyed Bing more these days. I've always enjoyed their daily travel images especially, and the search results have been decent.
I agree completely. Just observing users stumbling through what you had thought was a blindingly-obvious, low-friction workflow is an eye-opener.

Sometimes, you have used your own code way too much to judge effectiveness.

Having a no-agenda meeting with users is also a great idea, but it is important to set scope on feature requests before it snowballs into a request for the moon.
nah it’s real. The saying goes gotta change job verticals or job expectations at 40.
It's almost like telemetry encourages optimising for idiots because they are the majority of the userbase. The problem is by removing features they remove the opportunities for the non-tech-savvy people to learn and become power users, so it's a feedback loop.
A Kid Who Could Read My Mind (2009)
I still can't leave google. Because it saves me lots of clicks and js slowness of other websites.

Most of the time I find whatever I am looking for directly on the results page like movie review, ratings, actors, related movies and many other things. It shows prices of a product on different stores directly and also related products. No other search engine does this. Bing is almost there except it does not show product prices in my country.
Huh? Office hours are 9-5 in Seattle as they are in Miami. The only thing a bit different is the mall will open and close at 9:30 instead of 9.

I was always scheduled meetings from Beijing to Redmond or Beijing to Cambridge anyways, you could do either or, but there was little chance of a conference between both!
Shared Cache Is Going Away
Just going to plug this here, since what you're talking about is a very old and proven idea and some people intuitively look for the source:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigovian_tax
I was with you for your first half. Defaults matter - it's likely this situation was caused by someone who obtained a drone with little effort, and is blissfully taking pictures of the fire operations. And then wondering why the helicopters have stopped flying and there's nothing to photograph. Hence the TV ads.

But it's no wonder why many device owners would push back having their devices implanted with inescapable third party controls. The people with enough awareness to do this also likely have a enough awareness to not disrupt emergency air traffic as well!

Generally if someone wants to direct their drone to do illegal things, the common sense assumption is that they're going to make that happen somehow, rather than reacting by trying to bake in technological authoritarianism. It's naive to think that since it's possible to write code to enforce a condition, that this can scale to the level of society!

It could be someone in fire operations themselves that wants to try out using off the shelf technology to improve their operation, but instead stuck budgeting and requisitioning a single "government priced" drone rather self-purchasing a few expendable ones on a lark. Or sure, it could also be some shithead who laughs as they help the fire spread. Despite the amount of hypothetical attention, the latter asshole is extremely rare, and the right way to deal with them is heavy civil and criminal punishment as going around the safety defaults has established their firm intent.
I never cease to be amazed that people buy into obvious snake oil, it has been rife in tech since the beginning.
Ambient Mixer
It's not fair to say that at all.

DDG has better results than Google for most has cases, and Bing has better results for just under half of use cases.
Is the final product like... electronic? What is the input material to 3D print this and what is the output?
