I mean i think its about what you expect of the device. Many users would likely be unhappy with having the buttons pressable on the outside due do being prone to an accidental disable-able. Its a fringe feature. Having the option to reversibly disable these components is exactly what i am looking for. So while I will be unlikely to use GPS and LTE or the simcard for that matter, I am not sure about WIFI, cam and microphone yet. Either way, It sure as hell beats soldering them off. Hopefully the cover is also as easily removable as promised. But even if not, i would still get one if all killswitches were 0 Ohm resistors.

I think just posting the link here gave the wrong impression. Its an open Linux phone with HW-Killswitches. If that sentence on its own doesnt have you grin like a kid on Christmas, its likely not yet the device for you. But as was often said when talking about the Pinephone, its a start. At this point the target demographic is still developers not people who are looking for an open source replacement of their current smartphone. Its why the batch is called "brave heart". While there are operating systems booting on it already, the expectations Pine set when the developers edition came out were rather low.
How long before someone writes software that walks you through a series of questions (a la turbotax, but more in depth and less shit), and then spits out a series of applications. Of course you'd hand check each one, but until colleges collude on their into process, it seems possible.
I use vim for markdown editing, but I've been searching for a better alternative. Mainly, I want to be able to easily copy-paste between the editor and other programs. This is hard with vim because yank doesn't pull into the system clipboard by default. In my 11 years of working with vim, I've only found a reliable way to configure that behaviour twice, but it stopped working.

Could you expand upon your tools and workflow a bit?

It's not that I disagree with you, at least not for your use cases! But it's not hard for me to think of cases where this would work.

First, a quick anecdote - I run a dirt cheap, crummy Windows server at home for pet projects. I've been doing this for well over a decade. Maybe two? Along the way, I wrote a basic web interface for editing files on the server. Basic upload, rename/move, edit text files kind of thing. For pet projects, I work on them infrequently, but sometimes an idea will strike me, or I become aware of a bug or typo, and I just want to get in and fix the issue. Now, these were simpler times - the most complex code was classic ASP or JavaScript! The toolchain was non-existent.

A use case for pet projects would be cloud-hosted, cloud-repository, cloud-pipeline, and now cloud-development. When an idea strikes you, rather than pull things locally, configure them for that particular project, with that peculiar set of frameworks and toolchains, you can load up your cloud IDE which is already configured to point to the repository, build and test in a container, deploy through a pipeline to the cloud host, and just focus on making the edits you want without all the work of getting things local.

As someone who spent a few hours the other morning working on a computer I don't usually work on just getting the git credentials and containers and runtimes working before I could start getting any work done, I could definitely see a use case for this cloud-based development paradigm.
I think alcohol should be taxed the same as food. This is a product of a lot of experience with alcoholism among friends and family. IMO we should be considering the epidemic as a symptom, in addition to providing addiction treatment/support as needed.
There was an emergency braking feature that would engage when a collision was imminent. It fired 1.3 seconds before hitting Herzberg. But Uber had disabled that function because there were too many false positives, so the car just alerted the driver (who was not paying attention) instead. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/05/2...
Visual Studio for Mac (formerly MonoDevelop) is even worse in this respect. I use it for a Xamarin.Android project on my mac but I prefer 10x more the Windows VS. It's better to have these tools than nothing (like 10 years ago) but the "Visual Studio" brand create expectations in quality. And both Code and for Mac are no there yet.
(Throwaway because I don't like talking about college application process).

If it's any consolidation, it's been like this for at least 20 years. I'm 33, and when I did well enough on PSAT to become National Merit Finalist, I got similar amount of inbound mail from colleges. By the end of the process I had 4 banker boxes full of the stuff. It's very similar to what happened last year when I went for a car quote...

I ended up taking a full ride at a state school. While the school wasn't the best experience and I've gotten some "why didn't you go to an ivy league school?" comments, not having any college debt has been worth it. I don't regret the decision at all.
Ubuntu and other OS package managers are years out of date and they are at the wrong layer for serious projects because they are OS layer so not good for hermetic builds on build servers.

IMHO this has little to do with jaywalking.

All sorts of hazards can come up in the road, such as children running into the street, deer or other animals.

This scenario was bound to happen given that auto-breaking was disabled and the human driver was playing with their phone instead of paying attention to the road, which was the whole reason they were in the car.
Git == GitHub for many, many developers. I wouldn't count it out as a possibility.
From what I remember, the pedestrian was detected early enough but classification jumped between two or three classes and it never got a prediction vector, basically being a standstill object (at different locations) that was never predicted to cross the trajectory of the car.

It's near impossible to enter autobahn without a car or other motorized vehicle. I am not sure what kind of road the victim was following but it surely wouldn't compare to autobahn. Was it a highway with free entrance for bicycles and scooters?
Super late, but I think a good approach would be to use an issue/work tracker of really any flavor (even manually), log all of your to-do headings as issues, and then just name each branch after the associated issue/job number.

> By the requisites they list, which focus on the ISA, the original 68000 was already a 32bit architecture in 1979,

Huh? The second paragraph states: "First, let's define our terms. A 32-bit microprocessor has a full 32-bit architcture, a full 32-bit implementation, and a 32-bit data path (bus) to memory." (And then the author spells out what each of those three things means individually.)

IIRC, the 68000 missed both the 32-bit implementation and the data path.

Interesting to note though, that Intel's later 80386SX product would NOT quality for the article, even though it's a compatible reduction of a chip that does. (The SX version of the product had a 16-bit bus and was physically closer to a 80286 in terms of external hardware interface.)

I would advise you to think hard about starting long projects for which the days of work that it requires do not individually seem worth the effort. Not only will you be miserable, but your chances of success will be low. However, I would also caution you not to assume that a long difficult task will not be satisfying day to day when approached with the right frame of mind.

I can't speak for the article, but I can speak for myself. The difference is that I, personally, have control over the blocking of the "make money fast" communication. I think part of the right to free speech is the right to be able to choose what speech you consume, i.e., everyone has the right to free speech but nobody has the right to impose upon you.

For me personally, since I run my own incoming mail server, there is no platform censoring those emails. I use my own tools, trained on my own emails and my own choices about what to block, to do the filtering.

When a platform entirely blocks some speech, that is not my choice; it is theirs. That is the critical difference.

This is still not a bright shining line, because there isn't one. But it's sufficiently clear to be a guiding principle. If you want to lock yourself in some particular filter bubble, that's your choice, but nobody else has the right to force you into one.

In this case the safety drive was watching their phone which was playing a movie so a bit beyond the normal level of attention wandering you'd expect. But even for people trying their best having to pay attention to a road for hours without having to provide any input isn't something you can reasonably expect people to do. NHTSA level 3 autonomy is just a bad idea, we need to go straight from 2 to 4.
Great point about powerful/expensive laptops.

A problem I've run across is that machines with small SSDs are often not suitable for Visual Studio (the 'real' VS, not VS Code) if you want to do certain kinds of native development.

Installing some combinations of dev tools eats significant chunks of hard drive space, and worse, a lot of that space seems to be on C:, which often is a small SSD. You can ask for Visual Studio to install on other drives, but it will still eat a chunk of space on C:. The installer actually shows how much space will be used up on the system drive. Also VS is very slow if SSDs aren't available -- the VS docs recommend an SSD, in fact.

None of this matters to professional Windows (C++/C#) developers with 512GB-1TB SSDs or more, but remember than you can get started with Node, or Java, or Python, on much more lower-end machines. It's also much quicker to install and get started with these platforms.

So yes, anything that reduces developer friction and gets them to consider building rich Windows apps is a good thing for Microsoft -- it's almost too late already, but making it brain-dead easy to develop rich, native Windows apps would be a great start. They could and should offer free/low-cost online environments for hobbyists and students, for instance.
It’s available, but the CPU would throttle itself to prevent overheating until very recent processors.
I think you’re confusing value proposition for business case. The value proposition for widebody is over Singhal I’ll is simple. The business case is nonexistent whenever they’re in competitive situations. The lower cost of unsold seats makes al the difference.

As for favorite plane, the lower pressurization and higher humidity of a 787 makes all the difference.
A right of way means that they have priority. In the UK pedestrians only have a right of way in specific cases.

But drivers have a duty of care, and if a pedestrian is crossing a road then obviously they must do what is safe, i.e. slow down and let the pedestrian cross if (s)he is in the way.

Yes, but accidental emergency breaking can cause just as bad of an accident as this, it all just depends on the scenario.

They had hired a driver to sit behind the wheel to monitor the road and the car for exactly this reason.

The driver they hired decided to watch a movie on their phone instead of paying attention to the road.
Exactly my point. But for this to work, they need to be regulated by Government as utilities.

No one has the right to turn off electric grid on your house because they are "private company". No one has the right to turn off "running water" from your sink because they are "private company" and if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else or open your own. The same way, no one has right to censor me because they are "private company" and if I don't like it I can go ahead and open my own Youtube. They should be and will be regulated as utilities.
The strong types in those languages would have prevented a reference to a "Person" object to be treated like a reference to an "Other" object... /s

> The core of the issue is the problem of colonial mentality. I suppose we would all like to brush it under the rug by saying it's difficult to pin down who really "discovered" Ebola

I agree and addressed that. I don't disagree that colonialism's dark past plays a significant role in these things, but my larger point is "discovery" is always a hotly contested concept.

I'm certainly not attempting to justify or mitigate it, that's specifically the reason I talked about colonialism first. It's important to frame much of our present day as being in the shadow of 19th and 20th century European exploitation abroad.
This is absolutely spot on.

A good deal of resources in some large organizations are wasted on vanity projects initiated by mid-management specifically for such value-capture.
I'm pretty skeptical we'll see autonomous vehicles--at least outside of limited access highways or other relatively less difficult scenarios--sooner than decades from now. But your suggestion is an impossibly high bar. There will always be failures because of debris on roads, unpredictable actions by human drivers/cyclists/pedestrians, weather problems (e.g. black ice), mechanical failure, etc. that will result in some level of fatalities.

Why would Airbus spend 10 Billion on RD for a new plane if they can only spend 1.5 Billion on RD to modify an existing design? In their current form, Airbus and Boing don't really compete, which is bad for the customers but good for the shareholders of these companies. They already produce almost all of the passenger aircrafts and they would love this to continue.

The 737 MAX fiasco threatens this arrangement.
> If you value freedom above all else, Google being an independent entity, should have the freedom to ban / veto whomever they want.

Not so if you value freedom of human beings above all else, and even less so if you would wish to maximize human freedom across the population.

Unregulated capitalism maximizes the potential for freedom, if you win a lottery ticket, at the expense of diminishing freedom for all the losers. Libertarians tend to either already be rich or believe they have a significant shot at winning the lottery ticket.

A practical example: lack of worker rights in the US corresponds to more freedom in the abstract, but in practice creates a society where the average worker is much less free than, say, the average European worker. For example, workers in more regulated labor markets enjoy many more days of vacation on average, leading to literally more freedom to explore the world and pursue personal interests.
It's hard to argue that a dot on the map is a country. And it's probably not in their interest to be too obvious the next time someone's going around invading European states.

This basically begs the question (in the true sense of the phrase). The debate we're having right now (not just about this particular article but in general) is whether that should be true. Saying that it is the current legal regime is not telling anyone anything they don't already know. We are discussing whether that is a good idea and whether it should be changed.

Given how many people die per year in traffic accidents with non-autonomous vehicles, shouldn't this rule apply too? Humans have shown that they can't drive cars safely and should no longer be trusted to drive.

More seriously though, it would be more interesting to compare number of kilometers driven without accidents compared to national statistics. And having something like the NTSB do thorough investigations when accidents do happen. Ultimately there is a need for autonomous driving because it should eventually cause less deaths
Or absolutely ban censorship and content 'curation' that created walled gardens tailored to your superficial tastes.

Only block content that is illegal, and do it on demand - so back to the days when the services like facebook were just a content aggregator, where filtering and curation was done by user, not for user.
A very well working combo is "Windows Internals" for the high-level view + MSDN docs for the details.

The article specifically complains about even slightly less than even-handed promotion of conservative and liberal viewpoints, so it's certainly not only talking about forcing people into a filter bubble. It's just not the case that internet companies make it literally impossible to hear conservative viewpoints. (I'm not conceding the point that they are biased in any important way, but it's just certainly not the case that it's impossible to find conservative viewpoints on Twitter.)
An interesting trap is people in the field of social media (FB/ Twitter) not realizing that they are in that high-stakes environment where bad privacy settings and leaks can cause death.
