I played with it when you could replace the godawful "OK Google" phrase with your own. It was pretty useless.

I'm never saying "OK Google". Siri, Cortana, etc are a bit better but why not let people personalize that? Gotta remind people who owns them?

Journalist: Have you found something useful?

I wish there really was a real conspiracy rather than just mere incompetence and greed. I suppose what is established is screentime affects eyesight and that's about it.
> Well no in fact there is no 'shape you are meant to see'. Inflation can be expressed in prices smoothly or in sharp jumps.

But sharp drop isn't an option, hence my argument.

> It is a fact that there is a big real gap between the pre-QE price and the post-QE price.

Sigh! The graphs show that there is no such “gap”.

> But even accepting that, are you really comfortable saying that these commodities are securing real value increases? I'm a mining engineer and it isn't because it is getting 3-6% per annum harder to mine commodities each year in real terms.

If course it's not tied to any real value, that's never been my argument. The initial point was: “increase in the money supply by QE didn't cause the prices (including asset prices) to rise”. And you even agree with that when you say this.

> If you don't like 2005 pick any year prior to the financial crisis; gold is mysteriously outperforming the inflation

(And BTW gold is rising again in 2019, while there has been no QE policy in years in the US).
About Stoics:

>The world, they thought, is ruled by providence; all that happens is fated to happen, and we must embrace our individual fates and the past and the future that has been determined for us.

That's not the understanding I got from reading about Stoicism. Sure, some of it could be "fate" and out of your control but there is a lot of emphasis on what you can control. I think the author simplified this too much to the point of making it incorrect.
They claim "Podman provides a Docker-compatible command line front end and one can simply alias the Docker cli, `alias docker=podman`".
That claim alone shows they dont know or dont care how people use container engines outside the k8s space.
I know a lot of orgs that simply use docker-compose files to spin up simple setups. There is podman-compose[1] but its "still underdevelopment".

Then there is software using the docker socket.

Portainer? No Podman support [2]

Testcontainers? No Podman support [3]

Agreed entirely. In Windows 7, I could hit the Winkey, type the first few letters of a program, then hit enter. The results were instant and consistent, so I could build muscle memory on it. In Windows 10, the search results take several seconds to show up, and change depending on what new files there are, how many starting characters I typed, whether the index is up to date, and the phase of the moon.
Iranians mainly speak Farsi, an Indo-European language. There are other minority languages, none of them related to Arabic.

In no particular order:

* Helping a googleplex of people immediately vs over a period of time are two different complexities of action.

* Recall that hypotheses are selected from an ambient pool of possibilities. Then we might imagine that some hypotheses dominate others, so that regardless of how much evidence is offered, we always insist that the evidence supports a simpler alternative. To wit:

"Well, if I'm not a Matrix Lord, then how do you explain my amazing powers?" asks the Mugger.

"Street magic," you say. "Very impressive sleight of hand. Perhaps some smoke, mirrors, lasers, assistants."

* A Matrix Lord asking $5 of a person on the street in order to commit miracles is inherently irrational. If they just wanted $5, or wanted to deprive the person of $5, or wanted to humiliate and embarrass the person, or force them to accept certain philosophical truths, then those all could be achieved via Matrix Lordery. Therefore the Lord in this story is being a pointless dick, and it's silly to expect rational arguments to be part of the conversation. To wit:

"Just give yourself $5. Give yourself any reward you like, for helping people; it's not my place to set or fulfill the price of such powerful entities, is it?" you ask.

"But...but don't you want the feeling of doing good?" asks the Mugger.

"Not really, no," you reply. "I have investments and equity already, and those dollars already have ripples that affect people far beyond my direct control. I don't feel much of anything about those investments. And it would be irrational for me to value a $5 investment more than $5. Really, if you can do all of this good, then you should turn yourself into an exchange-traded fund, and let people buy your time to do good in the world," you muse.

"But...but this offer is for you, and you alone," the Mugger insists.

"Okay, but why me? Let's talk about the Self-Sampling Assumption!" you say. The Mugger groans.
I don't think you need an undergrad degree in CS, but you may need to have some undergrad degree and the knowledge of a CS major. Here is what Georgia Tech says:

https://www.cc.gatech.edu/faq

6. I am interested in your MSCS program but I do not have a computer science degree. Can I still be considered for admission?

Yes, you will be considered for admission. We review applications holistically in order to determine applicant’s suitability. The admissions committee considers several factors when making admission decisions; academic performance at prior institutions (GPA), experience, background, GRE test scores, statement of purpose, and letters of recommendation. In general, we expect students who enter the program to be very comfortable working with multiple programming languages such as C, Java, and Python (there is no provision within the program for make-up any deficiencies) and to have taken several more advanced topics, such as Advanced OS, Networking, Theory, and/or Algorithms.

7. What can I do to be competitive? What do you recommend for applicants without a CS undergraduate background?

The following is what we recommend for applicants without a strong undergraduate background in computer science:

1. Must know how to program

2. C programming (proficient)

3. Java

4. Algorithms

You can gain this knowledge through undergrad classes, MOOC, or learn it through work experience.

I just switched from Notion (and Evernote, Google Keep) to Joplin, and currently I'm quite satisfied with its offering.

Some cons I felt while using Notion:
- Mandatory to log in using a Google account is a _very_ big pushback for me - I need it to work all the time offline.
- E2EE encryption? I don't think it's there. It's something I strongly desire for privacy reason.
- It's a freemium subscription modal, I have nothing against it, but imho, completely free one is of course better
- It's not open sourced, but Joplin is.
Isn't that akin to extracting setup.exe?

There have been a number of failed Bitcoin miner asics basically as a result of designers using the tools without really understanding the tool's assumptions (or without themselves understanding the work the circuit would be doing).

E.g. assuming that the toggle rate for gates would be much much less than 50%, and as a result the actual part used so much more power than expected that it wasn't viable (couldn't cool it or couldn't get enough juice into the chip).
On a free and open platform like OpenBSD, Firefox isn't even really an option due to performance issues. More than anything else, being forced to use Chromium for a decent browsing experience turned me away from using OpenBSD on a daily driver laptop.
Why, instead of the probability being 0 or 1 in a quadrillion, is the probability not simply undefined?

Maybe I am not well-versed in Bayesian thinking, but I am unable to understanding assigning probabilities to events that have not occurred before, and to which there is no related numerical data.

Making the probability of Pascal's number being undefined renders any calculation of the risk involved null and solves the problem, while making it possible for future evidence to assign a defined probability (say you were previously approached by 10 Pascal's muggers and 2 turned out to be telling the truth).
Just to be clear:

I didn't want to imply anything political and the given example of improving elections isn't really a left- or right wing thing.

It's just hard for donors to understand how such a project might relate to the Mozilla brand.

Just to give a (hopefully) completely nonpolitical example:

If they would start to collect art with donor money it would arguably delute their brand in a comparable manner.

I don't think that is worth the privacy lost by having Google parse voice commands. 15-30 seconds inputting data versus privacy lost by having a profile generated on me by Google.

A Google VP literally said that you should warn guests if you have voice assistants in your home.
I am assuming they expect an applicant to have at least some sort of undergrad degree in any field any other than CS to be considered for their MSCS program. I don't have any degree yet.

Not outside of JavaScriptCore they don’t.
Absolutely agree that Lombok increases Java readability.
If I cannot use JVM alternatives like Kotlin or Scala (for whatever reasons), Lombok is a perfect tool to help beeing productive.

IMO saving one line with @Cleanup is not worth it but if the class doesn't implement AutoClosable, I think it makes code more readable too.
Pythonista is a full(-ish) offline Python IDE and has been on the App Store for years.

> It blows my mind they didn’t have sane PKI with that many resources. It seems like even the “small” initial team of a couple devs, a manager, and a director would’ve at least spun up a vault instance to use as a CA.

Not mine. Inhouse CA management is a true PITA, even multiple-thousand-people companies regularly fuck this up. I have experienced hours of outage because someone failed to renew the certificate for one of the thousands of pieces making up a Cisco network environment, and don't get me started on the drama that is root CA certificate rollover, experienced this in three companies and nowhere it was painless...
Kivy bundles Python in iOS apps, and the apps are accepted on the App Store. Do you have a link for this policy?
Web content must be rendered through WebKit as per the App Store Review Guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/). This is supposed to be enforced by App Store Review by inspection. In addition to this, there are technical reasons why your “browser” will be inferior to Apple’s web view performance-wise, mainly having to do with apps that generate code dynamically in-process needing entitlements that prevent submission to the review process.
Took me a few comments to realize something was fishy. The comments all seemed to be trying really hard to be philosophical, but I couldn't actually parse real meaning. Realized all the posts had the same author, and that the whole sub is simulated content... discussing simulations. Very odd.

Maybe both ways are true, making it a feedback loop in either direction.
A conversation with another person in the car is not the same as a phone conversation (for one, the other person doesn't share the road cues with you to know to stop talking when something requires attention, can't see your face and you can't see theirs, it's easier to get emotionally triggered, etc). And of course another person in the car can also help point to things to watch out on the road, a person in a phone call, not.

Even worse, talking to an assistant is even worse, you need to spend mental effort to phrase things in a certain way (voice interface wise), parse their responses (which could be off), and so on...

Banksy's “Walled Off” art hotel next to Israel's wall
Honestly this is really compelling evidence that Pike doesn't know much about type theory. That isn't terribly surprising, and the other early collaborators on the language that I know of also came from more of a systems background. I think its entirely likely that Go's crippled type system is partly an accident, and not entirely a design choice. It would be helpful if - with the benefit of hindsight - they would admit it, rather than invent post-hoc justifications for the way things are.
Yes. (But no, you're not completely stupid). In general, your question/comment reminded me of this:

"The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age or his nation, and from convictions which have grown up in his mind without the co-operation or consent of his deliberate reason. To such a man the world tends to become definite, finite, obvious; common objects rouse no questions, and unfamiliar possibilities are contemptuously rejected."

Nitpick: you can but you cannot ship it via the App Store.
If I have understood correctly (I’m a C++ graphics programmer. So don’t know too much about what’s flashy in the web world) V8 only jits. As in it can only produce machine code and there is not even an option to run it as an interpreter.
AFAIK there does not seem to be a way to donate to rust development for the same reasons.

Maybe Mozilla should allow donors to specify the project they'd like to contribute to?

That would give them additional feedback on how the community evaluates their programmatic direction.
That's unlikely, Kivy is also used for commercial apps. Bundling interpreters is allowed, but you must not use them to execute arbitrary code, unless you do it for educational purposes. Kivy doesn't load remote code, so it's not affected by this policy.
JavaScriptCore can be used can be used independently from the rest of WebKit, but I’d expect it to be slow.
Well, people being able to heat their homes, drive places, have abundant inexpensive food and all the other things that oil allows tends to reduce suffering.

Is it possible for an industry to increase suffering in a free market? Blood diamonds involve slavery and coercion so that is not really the same. If free people are making free choices to engage in a transaction, it would make sense that they would both only choose things that decrease their own suffering.

You may be right. Its in the "Jails Contain All The Things!" section so maybe I read it wrong. The 100% security thing makes more sense your way. But the no 12-factor app statement and then Docker 0% is confusing.

Not a great layout. Not the fault if jails though.
Increasing the fuel prices will affect everyone, though maybe differently. Transportation costs will increase significantly since labor in developing countries is cheap. This means consumers product prices will also increase.

Another angle: This might the tipping point of the inflation crisis Iran is going through. The increase in oil prices might not be significant for the average person, but it might be what pushed people over the edge.
Slow is very relative here, the performance penalties are on the order of 5 to 10% or so in absolute throughput terms, latency is usually much better in a microkernel based system because it can use the cores more effectively and even quite a bit of the message passing overhead can be caught as long as you stay on the same physical machine by using the paging mechanism.
Then apps using it must ship all of their Python code in the app bundle to meet the App Store Review Guidelines.
JAXA did a 1/6 g (like the Moon) experiment with rats in a centrifuge on the ISS this summer and when that gets published we'll have our first data point on how low gravity effects mammal physiology. But really, we currently have no idea if Mars gravity is just as good as Earth gravity or just as bad as freefall.
You believe earth and mars will be on par in terms of habitability in 100 years? If I were confident I would live that long I would take that bet.
I think US law considers being on someone else’s property to be an inherent threat to life, in cases like a home.

I think that removing the docker socket is a feature of podman. I never really understood the need for the docker daemon anyway, especially when you are building container.
I agree that most design teams are not going to actually write CSS. However, it seems reasonable to me to expect them to organize and communicate their design in terms of classes.

I see two advantages to that approach:

- It requires the design team to take responsibility for structuring the design. E.g. determining parts of the UI that share the same design and defining a hierarchy of design elements.

- It makes the work that the design team is creating for the engineers more transparent. Communication can be something like "this new wireframe requires 5 new classes" rather than something vague like "just tweak the styles we used for the other components to fit this new wireframe".
An elegant solution (if applicable) is placing a deliberate sentinel value at the end of your data before looping.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_value

Whereas usually loops have 2 tests for checking if the while loop should end (end-of-data-reached? or break-condition-is-true?) you only need to check for the latter.

This is a very Oberonesque programming optimization.
Agree 100%. I'm an SRE team of one and I'm looking for an additional team member. I've interviewed about a dozen people so far and one thing I've noticed is that a lot of young engineers do not know the basics. They really can't tell me how to log into a Linux box and troubleshoot. I think that's a shame. You really lose a lot of insight if you don't understand how the underlying pieces work.
