Humans have a deep and subtle mental model of How The World Works. Programs, even ones with 'deep learning', don't have that. Their understanding is actually fairly shallow, which is why it can be very useful to compensate for this using sensor equipment with superhuman capabilities.
Given that even something like building a web page has become extremely convoluted, understanding the basics can be difficult.

My suggestion have a mentor, who is an experienced developer guide you. ( I volunteer, you may contact me...)

>Which area could be a good fit?

This is actually tricky to answer. Almost all areas of software have some demand for people all the time ( I do not have numbers). Your bigger hurdle will be that people will rarely hire if they learn you are 60 years old.
It depends on where you are in Europe. In Germany and Switzerland, the platform is announced up to a year in advance, and you can go and wait there for your train. Sometimes you can even buy a coffee directly on the platform while you're waiting.
It’s technically the receive primitive doing this using the after clause. The addition of unique references and selective receive then allows “call” style interactions to built (like gen_server).

Likewise, links and monitors are used for lifetime concerns instead of reference counting actors like Pony or using a global tracing collector. This has some advantages and disadvantages but for the most part I personally find it far more practical than other models which are more like the classic actor model.
Thank you. I have a list of things and I want to add. And it is really long

I am in the planning stages of building a 25 foot obelisk on my property. I was planning to use concrete and hadn't heard of rammed earth. Is rammed earth an appropriate material for my project?

Most of them in my experience. Many industrial machines have lifespans well beyond 15years. Big companies buy the state of the art and when they decide to replace the old machines they resell them to smaller companies who can't afford to buy the newest model.

I know many people on HN work in web technologies where last year's technology is already obsolete but I've worked in small hardware companies that still used industrial equipment controlled using a serial keyboard with a DIN connector and a monochrome CRT. I've seen people order parts for 20+yo industrial soldering ovens.

You can't really tell somebody with a highly expensive, perfectly functioning industrial machine that they have to buy a new one because you can't find the driver for the motherboard of the controller.

I guess I'm old fashioned in that I care about the content and character of what people have to say and not where it is coming from. It could come from a billionaire, a gay man, a woman, a poor person, whoever. In fact the less I know about your background the better, so that it might not bias or color my opinion (Seems to be the exact opposite these days.)

Growing up I thought the Internet would be a great leveler. Anyone with a computer could anonymously make a point about something. But something changed around 2005ish; websites started requiring real names, social networks became about cementing existing social connections instead of creating new ones (For example compare the days of LiveJournal to Facebook) Most online entertainment is simply re-creating television. A few "influencers" and a lot of passive consumers. Which is sad and disappointing because everyone has the potential to create something that others would be interested in, even if the audience is small and you might never be famous doing it.

>People wanted to take those journeys

Questionable. Suppose people only need to take those journeys because they live far away from the city or their job. These people only live far away because roads made suburban development convenient. Were it not for the roads, the people would live in denser development and may not need a car for most regular activities live shopping, socializing, or work. The roads induce their own demand.

>Charge for road use

Agreed, but the average Joe with fight you tooth and nail. Suggesting roads and a parking space is not a constitutional right attracts passionate and irrational resistance.

> I definitely think the future is mreo 'app virtualization'

Why would you think that? Where do you see this trend? Their app looks incredibly stupid to me and it is hard to imagine any large number of people that would use it.

Your project aims to provide security, which is an interesting goal, that I think security-conscious people would want to use.

But to virtualize a browser... for performance? For browser apps (which are already "virtualized" desktop apps, of sorts), trading off enormous amounts of bandwidth, for what, cheap RAM sticks that are getting cheaper by the month and faster SSDs for quick swap? For what usage case? That one guy who happens to have a chromebook but needs to run 100 tabs actively?
You could just run "unload tab" extension already...
Or like just have a desktop that you VNC into... Which all of the people that need this have been doing for decades...
Good question, thanks.

I had the vague notion that parsing was for human readable content and deserialization was for computer-to-computer content.

Now I tentatively make the distinction that compiling transforms streams into code (stream -> lex -> parse -> magic -> code) whereas deserialization is for data. Making parsing just one of the transformation steps for both compilation and deserialization.
In the end those are just mathematical models and not intelligence. Humans interact based off on their experience and it is really hard to find training data with a snow storm.

>For me Amazon is still a net win in regards to convenience, but there are a lot of things I just won't buy.

Yeah for me it's mostly books (digital and physical), Amazon basics stuff and stuff I can't get anywhere locally (that I know of) like a tofu press or hard to counterfeit stuff like my televisions/an iPad Air 2/my reconditioned vitamix.
Yes currently those models are just specialised in some special thing. If there really was a model that could understand the world like a human - well that would be artificial general intelligence
That's one way to look at it. Roads are part of an overall system. You need to look at transit holistically -- how do trains, busses, etc impact the overall mix of trips.

With respect to the rights of way, an asset unused goes away. That is a big reason why car companies bought out streetcar lines to kill them. I live in an area (Albany, NY) which was a big transit driven place until the postwar era. The New York Central, Delaware & Hudson and various streetcar/trolley lines had all sorts of rights of way connecting various communities in a relatively small area.

That stuff is all gone, converted to roads, parks and subdivisions.

For an entity like Amtrak, the rights they have in major cities are worth billions, but in reality are priceless. Without operating service, that value would diminish to near zero very quickly.
This only works for certain types of businesses (which are, for some reason, particularly well-positioned to take advantage of the additional investment). Most long-established businesses should pay me my dividend, I can decide where to invest it without their management’s help.

Yes, but those highways are separated from those metropolitan areas except for some on and off ramps. Thus, the point still stands.

A ha-ha is (typically?) a retaining wall, so I wouldn't expect the mechanical advantages to apply in the same way. I imagine it would also complicate the excavation/infill.
This seems like a legal move, so assume they remove the hashes to absolve themselves of liability.
problem is most likely that your initialization are bad (see e.g. https://openreview.net/pdf?id=H1gsz30cKX for explanation). make sure to use variance scaling, taking activation into account (relu cuts variance by half). probably you need to multiply all initial kernel weights by 2. make sure that initial prediction of model before training is same order of magnitude as typical target, not saturated to zero or other extreme value. batchnorm and skip connections can also ease problems of bad initialization, so worth trying.
Does it matter?

When the answer necessitates completely redesigning every major city in the country, I'm not sure the question is valid in the first place.
Reconfigured from what? I live in the West and most of the communities out here were never served by rail. You either got there by foot or by animal. It seems like car is just an upgraded version of walking or animal-pulled wagons.

In modern standards a straight wall is much easier to build because you can just measure once for each row and stretch a string to match the bricks against. A curved wall requires a level placed against every brick to make sure you are still going straight up. I expect older walls actually trusted the mason's skill without going through all that. The Wiki photo certainly looks true.
No you can't. The problem is we don't have enough buses to do that. Every mass bus system large enough to have significant people on the bus works on the model of the bus running all day with a large number of people who use it. That is it goes in full, heads back out, and picks up more people before heading back in.

In the evacuation model those buses drive out a day full, and then need to drive a day to get back before they can pick up more people. It just doesn't work. No transit system has enough buses.

That is before we point out that if you have anywhere near that many people served you probably have some rail systems that cannot operate outside their lines (third rail power or overhead electric)

Cars have the advantage of there are enough of them. Note that in most evacuation situations the cars are full. (the roads don't have the capacity, but the cars do)

Going beyond the obvious motive of child car seat manufacturers wanting to undermine the second-hand market, I expect design flaws could also play a part.

In case there is a flaw, e.g. poisons; unexpected decay of material strength; mold growth, then it's good to reduce the number of the old product around in case it's discovered, and a lawsuit manifests. Possibly the expiration could even mitigate damages in case of liability.

While superfluous product expiry is generally useful for selling more of any kind of product, a safety device for children is exactly the kind of product where mitigating liability from latent design flaws would be desirable for a manufacturer.
I dunno why they need it and I personally won't share it, but if they ask honestly, without any manipulation tricks, and people decide to share it, I don't see an issue. Freedom goes both ways.
Yes. D metaprogramming is mostly based around template and it gives you compile-time traits which you can use to query structs/classes for their fields, determining if something is an array or a pointer etc.

This way, you can write a serialize(foo) function which will work for any type, without needing any derives or marking the type as Serializable like in Java.

The closest equivalent to derive in D would be a mixin. You could declare a mixin which autogenerates the toJSON() fromJSON() methods based on the fields of a struct.
Yes, but it still presupposed on a specific location. Alan Kay (together with many other experts on system design) is a proponent of late binding. To do effective late binding, we should be able to route requests to the correct location in a distributed fashion. With a (regular) URL we make a weird amalgam of DNS (with IP) and path of the object. As we've learned from the transition from XML-RPC/SOAP, unnecessary complexity removes value of the system. I believe Alan argues that URLs introduce unnecessary complexity which can be tackled by lower OSI layers. However, to make that work, we need globally unique identifiers and routing, using IPv6. We want names (and/or identifiers) to be the fundamental element of our systems, instead of resource locators.

In other words, you want to be able to walk into any library and use ISBN as the underlying identifiers, instead of the Dewey system, which is not broadly applicable. You might get the Dewey number from the ISBN and vice versa, but the ISBN resource assigned to a book resource is the fundamental linking pin.

So, when we link from an article, we want to be able to say: "it is this specific article I am linking to, you figure out how to get access to it." This will be much more durable than an ephemeral URL.

I disagree with the tone of the comments here.

Encryption is scary. Of course law enforcement is dismayed by the possibility that certain kinds of crimes could leave behind no trace at all. What these people, who want to regulate encryption, don't seem to understand is that this is the downside of living in a free society. In a free society, people can commit crimes, and sometimes they can get away with them. We've made a deliberate choice to structure our society this way rather than optimizing for preventing crimes or punishing criminals. This is the right choice.

At the same time, you have to understand the temptation of structuring your society in a different way, in order to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. That perspective truly has massive appeal. Comments that fail to acknowledge this and boil down to "you can't regulate math" are not good arguments. They're condescending and far too dismissive of a facet of human psychology that is actually admirable (a strong preference for justice). A better argument acknowledges these things but reiterates the liberal arguments that undergird our societies (which have turned out rather well, if you ask me).

Because some banks (Consorsbank for example), take this to an extreme and ask you to 2FA all the time for every login.

I used to refresh several bank accounts several times per day through a third party app (MoneyMoney) on the Mac. This worked pretty flawlessly until September.

Now, I have to take out my phone and 2FA all the things in three different apps.

Of course, partially, Consorsbank is to blame here, because they fucked this up. Other banks have more customer-friendly interpretations on how often you have to 2FA (like once per month).

Only thing I noticed: I used to automatically fetch transactions through a HBCI interface with the open source software AqBanking on a VPS. This doesn't work anymore, because you need to register this software somewhere. So not sure how this is connected to PSD2 exactly. I assume the requirements for HBCI got tightened.

I grew up in Suffolk, where I knew of several examples, and I never realised that they were a particularly Suffolk-specific thing: according to the article, twice as many in the county as the rest of the UK. I would be interested to know why.
It's a recent phenomenon as far as I can tell. Within the last few months or so, every comment I post (especially at the top level) gets immediately, sometimes within seconds, downvoted to -1 or -2, then throughout the day stabilizes back up to some equilibrium value. I also wonder what the cause is.
the short version is that the author described his relationship with his family as estranged, in part due to his domestic partner. When he died, the family received the entire estate due to the absence of a valid will. When the author tracked them down to find out why they prevented his works from being published, his siblings denied they had, and implicated a publishing agent who never responded to repeated attempts at communication. The agent never received the messages, because she had left the industry.

So the resolution was putting the siblings (estate) in touch with a publisher, and now the works will be published.

Yes, it was rather late yesterday. It is actually the dichotomy that a URL should be a unique resource identifier for a specific resource, but unfortunately it isn't. When we place a link, we want to be able to query on that specific URL (or URN, as it has become). We want to do late binding, since it is cheaper and more powerful.
In my formative years, we always had something like this playing music as we played basketball. From the age of say 13-16 we would camp out in someones driveway or a park and play pickup basketball pretty much all day during the summers. Many D batteries were used in those days. Whoever had the loudest box with the most bass would get to play their box. I was friends with some kids whose dad repaired electronics, so they always had the best box. My folks weren't interested in competing with that so I had the weakest box. That all changed as we got our drivers licenses, and we proceeded to put amps and subs in our cars. That caused a whole other wave of competition. This was from 1988-1993 timeframe so by then I think the boom box era was mostly over. The boom car era was just getting cranked up though. I have that to thank for my poor hearing in crowded restaurants now. Im relatively young, and started noticing it in the past few years. I cant hear well enough to hold a conversation with lots of ambient noise. Hearing loss is completely preventable, and its much too late by the time you notice it. sucks...
If everything were to go according to plan, it would be harmless, yes. The problem is that data becomes a liability.

The same way having a few sparklers in your closet safe enough, having a few websites of your users is safe. But when you have a huge cache of personal data from large numbers of users, it becomes attractive to foreign governments, foreign gangs, feature creep from questionable law enforcement practices under a corporate surveillance state, unethical domestic lawyers, script kiddies, and so on. It's like having a whole fireworks store in your closet... It just keeps getting harder and harder to store safely the more information you collect!

And you're not totally wrong- at least they're doing the right thing and making this opt-in. However, this collection appears to be one done by a bunch of GPU nerds, which raises warnings that it won't be protected as well as, say, google doc data.
