> There was a study earlier this year, that revealed a Tesla charged by a power plant using coal generated more emissions than a standard unleaded gasoline car.

Good thing coal is declining in the US, and likely permanently so as renewables continue to become more cost effective.
Hmm, point taken. And yet, legibility is itself valuable and efficient too.
A pretty darn good guess rbanffy. The spoofed signal is a 'hacked' re-transmission of a valid GPS signal rebroadcast by local high powered ground based stations. The basic concept is that you (via a Sat dish) receive a valid GPS signal while blasting out a wide band RF signal to mask/overwhelm a local GPS receiver. 'Splatting' the airwaves and then retransmitting a delayed GPS signal is enough to flick a location by miles. Being able to decode, alter and then re-transcribe (including checksums) the GPS data stream to an over saturated local receiver is .... doable (at a nation state level). The circular patterns are a rounding of the reflection from three (possibly four) retransmitting stations.
That will change soon. :) Awesome project!

That won't last long, because of market inefficiency. Why pay for maintenance and energy on a vehicle? It's just as unrealistic as saying we'll keep personal vehicles running on gasoline, to me.
> From what I see and understand, even if you have multiple layers of perceptrons and back propagation. It is still really "deeply lacking" because you are not able to train networks with all context there is.

I don't know what you're trying to say here. NNs can have plenty of context. Let's take just the Transformer architecture for concreteness, ignoring all the others. Something like GPT-2 uses a fixed window, but it can be expanded arbitrarily widely if you're willing to pay the compute price; the scaling can be improved within that window by not computing attention over the full window, per Sparse Transformers; recurrency can be added to make it more RNN-like, as does TransformerXL; compressed versions of the memory can be stored and fed back in, allowing lookback arbitrarily far, per Compressive Transformers; multi-modal input, like images + embeddings + text, are of course completely possible and can represent arbitrary metadata and context; there are many different ways to add in external memory stores (DeepMind regularly experiments with these, like the DNC); and so on. What exactly do you think is impossible in principle in the connectionist paradigm to make NNs do (and why do you think your brain is exempt from this)?
Distorting colour is a standard post-Impressionist painterly technique.

But the moonlight painting gives it away. Most people don't see any colours under low light, and being able to see and paint a colourful scene under those conditions is a unique ability.

Of course it could be imagination, but it doesn't look like it. The tree and the moonlight paintings have similar colours to the ones you'd see if you took a photo of a scene and turned up the saturation in Photoshop, with a few extra shades. It's a surprisingly literal and unimaginative form of exaggeration, and it's not how most painters distort colour for effect. So I'm more inclined to think it's a perceptual feature, not a creative choice.

ARM is also ambi-endian. Its rare to encounter big-endian ARM in the wild, but it does happen. TI's RM57 and TMS570 look an awful lot like they have the exact same silicon in them, except that one of them is wired for ARMEB and the other is wired for ARMEL. its likely configured for one or the other by burning a wee bit of OTP at the factory.

Sorry but there's no excuse for crap code. If it's hard to understand then time is lost every time you have to work with it.

You shouldn't defend it by trying to assign positive attributes to it (its effecient. ...yeah). Maybe there's nothing good about bad code and we should use being called out on it as an opportunity for improvement.

No, lets double down on our delusions of superiority by telling ourselves that crap we wrote is somehow effecient in some way.

Docker architecture isn't reflective of that blog post anymore. Considering containerd is now the runtime, the arguments outlined initially for "why Docker isn't good in Redhats eyes" are no longer valid in the case of how the argument is laid out.

I don't feel Docker was incented to do anything based on RH's blog posts. I worked for Docker and the joke internally was how hard RH went out of their way in a "me too" fashion to compare their homegrown products, that weren't offering any upside and offering a lot of replacements that weren't nearly with feature parity. Dan Walsh was the butt of many jokes with his tirades about how one should never say Docker, and in turn probably exposed more people to Docker than he turned away.

High security? As I understand it RH doesn't have a way to guarantee containers that are requested to be run have been signed by appropriate release control. Docker can.

Since you're a RH employee maybe you can share the innovative reasoning why RH removed all Docker bits (that they could) from the OS and started telling customers Docker on RHEL wasn't supported? Sounds very anti-innovative to me, but would love your feedback.
I was talking about hypothetically if the federal government were to legalize murder, and was looking to push that ethic onto the states.

> states with their own emissions regime are actually nullifying federal law and violating equal protection

Erm, that does not make sense to me. What is legal is the intersection of the state and federal. If a state setting their own laws goes against "equal protection", then any concept of state sovereignty would be gone. Do you have any precedents backing up this line of thinking?

from my experience it's:

You think the public facing representatives (management etc.) are morons, because

you think their strategy for working in the same space sucks unless

you think your company is totally blowing it and you are on your way out

but you don't think their programmers are morons so much (except when you examine site and it performs worse than yours for obvious reasons that you fixed on yours) but

if they roll out a really cool feature you can implement in your product you will write code to implement that feature and not wish you had their code because anyway your stuff is incompatible codebases unless

you get bought by them or they get bought by you or you both merge because you are in fact compatible and this way something beautiful will emerge

yeah right.
Often true, but often 'beautiful code' does not impact the bottom line - even in the long term.
Any choice of results to produce is an editorialization, barring the existence of an oracle to tell us the one true answer. Thus your complaint about editorializing reduces to nothing but google chose the results they produce. About which, well, duh; that has been true since the very first search result they served.
Kay was at least as inspired by biological processes -- bacteria transmitting chemical signals to one another, for instance -- as he was by computer networks.

I think the big thing that Kay missed was asynchronicity. What Kay was thinking of when he coined the term "object oriented" -- rather than C++ -- was a sort of synchronous actor model in which the actor would always wait for a response after sending a message. This maps nicely onto function calls, but considerably more power can be had by letting the actor optionally continue doing stuff while awaiting a response. Bacteria continue to metabolize after sending chemical signals to their brethren after all!

As I've seen it said, Erlang is Smalltalk done right.
These articles always seem to elide over the WHATWG/W3C fight. Firefox and other browser vendors chose a living, implementable HTML spec over a consensus-based standards body (with its own deep problems), and now we lament the lack of alternatives. If you let browsers create the standards and change them unchecked, the natural conclusion is to own the entire stack for yourself.
What is this hope for a "thriving open market?" On Android, Chrome/Chromium engine has more than 99.5% marketshare.

Consumer choice is a red herring. So for that matter is Firefox, which Google has stomped out on Android. Apple's policy is 100% aimed at preventing Google from controlling the future of iOS.
The fact the code comments aren't meant for public consumption, and figures are, is completely irrelevant to the analogy. The point is that lots of things we do could be done better, but having an outsider focus on one of them, and tell you you could be doing it better, is not super-helpful. It's like being told by three people that you need to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports.

That said, and having looked at the article more carefully (ahem), most of the concrete suggestions they offer are sound, and are things that I think are pretty well-known, at least to the practicing scientists I talk to. "Pie charts are bad", and "Beware of false color images, especially ones that use the 'jet' colormap." are both (parapharases of) statements that I hear from working scientists.

But then there's this:
"And yet few scientists take the same amount of care with visuals as they do with generating data or writing about it. The graphs and diagrams that accompany most scientific publications tend to be the last things researchers do, says data visualization scientist Seán O’Donoghue. “Visualization is seen as really just kind of an icing on the cake.”"

This bears zero resemblance to my experience. Most scientists of my acquaintance make the figures first, and then write the text. And certainly I'd say that more care is taken with the figures than the text.

I guess I just feel like I see a certain amount of fetishization of beautiful scientific illustrations (Tufte, etc), out of all proportion to its actual importance to the scientific endeavor. The readers of most scientific articles are probably not going to be flummoxed by a pie chart. And of course, time spent focusing on this kind of stuff is time that might very well be better spent doing experiments.
What a poorly written story: phrasing this as “Trump versus California” is jingoism that risks obscuring a significant legal battle: states’ rights versus federal over-reach. Unless it can be argued that this is an interstate commerce case, this has to devolve to the rights of the States, under the 10th amendment, to make their own laws. Too often opponents of States’ rights throw out the canard that proponents of strong States rights want to being back slavery; maybe we just want clean air, the ability to legalize marijuana, pass own own gun laws, etc. The several states were supposed to be laboratories of democracy: if a state wants to ban internal combustion vehicles they should be allowed to do so.

> so long as a seat hasn’t been in a crash or otherwise doesn’t exhibit any damage

That seems a sufficient reason not to accept a used seat from someone you don't know. Another reason for concern that wasn't mentioned is needing to know if the product was recalled.

Upshot being there's likely no reason to throw away an older car seat. You probably still don't want to shop for one at a yard sale.
I've typically combined both options. The shorter domain (abcdef.com) is just a pointer to the longer one (abcdef.ghijkl.com).

Emails with subdomains in them sure are rare, but not non-existent. Especially if you live overseas .co.uk etc. Imagine emailing mikaelmello@abcdef.ghijkl.co.uk. Pretty extreme.

But still, I see this sort of thing with .edu email addresses, often separating out the name of the school from the particular study, then the lab itself. I did something similar to this with my old 90's era domains.

I would expect the most important consideration is whether the ghijkl part is easy or well-known enough to remember instinctively, so it isn't muddled up with the abcdef part.

Readme> It's not meant to be an universal serialization library, but rather a real-life working example of one of many ways to do serialization.

It's an extract from the existing code base. It is TRIVIAL to put the whole thing into a separate namespace. It's TRIVIAL to change the names if they really rub you the wrong way.

The point of this repo is to show a _technique_ for doing serialization, and yet here you are fuming and nitpicking on petty details.

That’s effectively the same as having an incorrect/out-of-date runbook. Except the likelihood of that happening with automation is much lower if you write tests to ensure they work when deploying.

There are always some break-the-glass mechanisms that should be documented (like, how to log on to a host). I’m just saying that in mission critical systems, you can dramatically reduce risk by minimizing the amount of manual work you have to do, which prevents mistakes.
I've used gitlab and podman to build containers to give me non-privileged builds. You pretty much only need to set the following:

I love Erlang; it would be fascinating (and an astronomical level of effort) to create an Erlang environment with the same powerful UX as Smalltalk.
Does it follow from this that while you could train a large machine learning program to do a task then separating it from a monolith into separable parts would be highly unlikely to be successful? For example,you could train an algorithm that does object identification and then train an algorithm that does object boundary identification considering only the red value in a given photo from the original large program. However if you start with the components of an object identifier you might not be able to reach SOA or at least those two methods would look very different.
Did you actually try accessing the API endpoint to confirm that it was returning customer data? If so, you may have violated the federal law that forbids people from "exceeding authorized access" to a site. So unless the company has a formal "bug bounty" program that explicitly says that they're OK with people poking around on their web site, you should probably forget you ever saw this. Someone in the company might turn you over to the FBI to cover up their own mistakes. It's just not worth the risk. (Yes, people have actually been prosecuted over stupid things like this. Sorry, I don't remember the details of the case.)
Correct. Though we’d love to hear feedback on this experience.

> tuned to err towards false negatives instead of false positives

This is a lie perpetuated by googlers. That’s a false dichotomy. There is no evidence that their process reduces false positives. Pointing to a bunch of false negatives just means they have a process that produces a bunch of false negatives. For how smart googlers are purported to be, you would think they wouldn’t report such an obviously illogical statement.
The main use case for containers for me are SDKs and build environments and Podman works pretty much as a drop-in replacement there.

> Several MHz at least.

A lot more, actually. Manufacturer's specs for the ISL98002CRZ-170 [1] say it'll do 170 MSPS, with an analog bandwidth of 780 MHz. It's actually a rather impressive ADC! The question would be whether it can be convinced to sample continuously.

There is also other reason. More and more new content is not visible for web search engines - for instance groups on social media like facebook or linkedin. Very often the results for a very specific query are pages from some forums or discussion boards. Since more and more discussions are taking place in one or other walled garden, more and more relevant content will not be accessible through independent search engines. I'm afraid that in the future larger and larger fraction of content will be fragmented and the ability to use a single search engine to find everything will become a thing of the past.
When applying this article to code, I don't think it has anything to do with spaghetti being good. It could be viewed instead as an argument against "architecture astronautics", the "15 layers of abstraction to print 'hello world'" school of software design.
As far as I can tell, synchronous operation was not a necessary component of his model, but a pragmatic implementation mechanism in order to make at least some of the vision usable.

If you look at the various histories, it seem like Smalltalk 76 was the point at which the system was made practical, and Smalltalk 80 was a refinement of that. Alan himself has repeatedly said that he was not very happy with that version.
