The directory thing is more due to sandboxing than anything else. They don't want someone to be able to write an app that can read anything anywhere on your phone, so it has specific directories that have different levels of access and temporality (i.e. one is a temp folder that gets flushed each time you quit the app, if I remember correctly).

It's not that complicated once you look it up, and like most of this stuff, you can mostly write wrapper classes one time to hide the gnarly bits and call your wrapper class to do what you need to do the way you like to do it.

It's been several years since I've had it read from a file, and I actually thought I would click that twitter link and see something super complicated, but it's actually pretty straight-forward. Not a one-liner like some languages, no, but as soon as you want to open something with options (like the encoding in this one), most other languages start looking more complicated like this as well.

Like python's open looks more like this with options: "open(filename, mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True, opener=None)". I've opened many a file in Python scripts, but I'd have to look up buffering, encoding, errors, closefd, and opener right now if I wanted to use them (I haven't really in the past)

And Python has 11 different access modes that I often have to look up to remember what all my options are again: r+,w,wb,w+,wb+,a,ab,a+, and ab+
Abstract: "We show that many symmetric cryptography primitives would not be less
safe with significantly fewer rounds. To support this claim, we review the cryptanalysis
progress in the last 20 years, examine the reasons behind the current number of rounds,
and analyze the risk of doing fewer rounds. Advocating a rational and scientific
approach to round numbers selection, we propose revised number of rounds for AES,
BLAKE2, ChaCha, and SHA-3, which offer more consistent security margins across
primitives and make them much faster, without increasing the security risk."

It's not laziness, it's cost to cost-sensitive customers who have a viable alternative with Airbus A320 Neo. Boeing actually initially set out to make an entirely new plane. The airliners instead wanted a re-engined 737 to keep type certification so that they didn't have to retrain pilots and could keep new equipment purchases to a minimum.

It's not that Boeing would have been unwilling to build an entirely new plane, their CEO announced that as the plan in 2011, it's that operators would rather they didn't.

Objective-C is simply regular C with Smalltalk objects added. If you know Smalltalk and you know C then you're golden.
I'll add a bit to @kerkeslager response in stating that a placebo is something that works because you are told it will work. Your example of death metal would only be a placebo affect if someone told you that listening to death metal will help your sleep and then it did. If you are just a hard core rocker and got used to listening to death metal to sleep and now you find that without it you don't sleep as well, that isn't the same thing as a placebo affect.

But I am interested in what a death metal sleeping app would actually look like. Of course I would have to ask if it's needed in the market place (does it create value), as opposed to just playing my Demented Ted playlist.
Apologies, I thought you were saying that you can't prove a negative... that negative proofs (like the examples linked) do not exist.
Probably not going to change anytime soon. It's a lot more palatable to Europeans to invent reasons to fine foreign companies than to face up to the fact that all the red tape they use to maintain their way of life is the reason they're a non-player compared to the Americans or the wealthier SEA region nations. It's part of why SEA is the better focus for long-term trade partnerships since they don't share the entitled laziness that makes Europeans protest over things like automated checkout counters. South America is interesting because it has a lot of the properties that make for a potentially competitive tech scene but not the wealth to keep talent so the European strategy probably suits many of the region's nations better for now.
There really needs to be two different general chemistry tracks, one for the students that are thinking about studying chemistry and one for everyone else. Where I went to college the general chemistry classes were very much designed with the assumption that the students taking them would go on to study chemistry. Despite this actually being a minority of the students taking them. For those of us that did study chemistry, I think they prepared us well for subsequent course and lab work. For those that didn't and just needed to satisfy the requirement, I imagine they were very tedious.
Is this necessarily a bad thing? ObjC did fine as a mostly Apple-centric language. Swift is generally a lot nicer to use than ObjC, even if it wasn't a clean break from backwards compatibility.
One of my projects is pure Swift and I haven’t felt any Objective-C-based pain. Mostly this is because it doesn’t have a UI. When you touch UIKit then the legacy stuff rears its head and you have to deal with selectors and NSObject and such. I think SwiftUI is supposed to be the answer to that. We ought to know whether it works out in a decade or so :). But as long as you’re looking for a general-purpose programming language, Swift is a good choice. The type system is excellent and makes a lot of things easier. I like ARC better than GC, which is the biggest selling point in my opinion.
They follow the law, if they are targeted by special taxes then it's a violation worthy of retaliation.
It isn't, but requirements rarely allow for static websites.
As the parent mentioned, that would make it a different plane, which would require the airlines to go through an expensive training process with their pilots. It seems Boeing initially preferred that but was talked out of it by airlines.

>“A Space for Being” explored neuroaesthetics, the field exploring how design impacts our biology and emotions

no arguing about impact, i feel it just by looking at the picture. Being GenX, I'm probably older than the target demography (and the ones who designed it), and that is probably why the impact on me has different sign - it looks to me in a disturbingly unnerving way like a hybrid of prison cell and operating room from dystopias where mind control/altering procedures are performed.
A possible ameliorating factor: they had an IAS Disagree warning (unreliable airspeed) since takeoff, and it may be policy to keep airspeed up in that case -- not knowing your airspeed means that reducing it may cause a stall.

(Still, they could have asked ATC for an speed reading or used other measurements to convince themselves that it was safe to slow down.)
Swift doesn't seem to be a bad language, but during my brief adventures with it I encountered a major drawback: differences between versions are so great, that searching the web for examples is problematic and you end up with many fruitless attempts and compiler errors. Apple's documentation isn't nearly as useful and readable as that of the Go team.
I don’t. I believe it’s fundamentally hard to measure second and third order effects too. Maybe the best one can do is just ruthlessly focus on core values, otherwise is very easy to fall into local optima.
Tangentially related: I've been experimenting with very bright lights from when I wake up to sunset. In my bedroom/home office I have a couple 6000k LED lights at 8100 lumens making the room almost as bright as noon outdoors. Post-sunset I use dim red lights. I was inspired by SAD lights but didn't like any of the ones I tried so went with high-powered "corn" LED lights in normal fixtures.

I've noticed that I tend to get sleepier at night which is great as before I would have to force myself to go to sleep (I'm a natural night person.)

I've also noticed a small increase in my distance visual acuity (subjectively measured by me using an eye chart so not the most accurate.) I have read that intense outdoor light protects against myopia (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470669/) so I suspect this is related.
I'm pretty sure they went with Kotlin before Swift was open sourced, but I agree with you that the likelihood of them doing it is very low.

Swift for Tensorflow hasn't gotten much traction because the overlap between programmers who know swift and machine learning engineers is super tiny. Making the core language differentiable sounds very promising though .
I can't but agree - Mies Van der Rohe and Le Corbusier's archetecture in particular is just so unlovable. Where is the sense of warmth or sensuousness or childlike wonder? A lot of those buildings really seem like they could only be designed and seen as actually desirable and good by a very psychologically warped kind of person. So dominating and overpowering. No play or whimsy, no sense of the delicate or harmonious. Yuck
So my entire dataset is ~24 x 250GB files. That 24 number can be larger if I can find an efficient way of processing each 250GB chunk. Each 250GB chunk is actually stock tick data so it has 500 stocks inside it. A heavily traded stock takes up ~10 GB of memory while a very thinly traded stock can top out at just 700 MB.

While I hope that each 250GB chunk has everything in order and I can separate it cleanly, I don't trust it. So I broke up all the files by stock in an embarrassingly parallelised code I wrote and got 500 separate files. However, the problem is, I'd want to process these 500 files parallely so each stock gets only so much memory (and hence, my original constraint remains). And for each stock, I want the data to be queried on timestamps, so I need a way to quickly say "I have data at 9am on Thursday, I want data from 4pm Wednesday to 8am Thursday to create a model".

I figured the best way to do this efficiently was to have the code create a massive database for all the stocks and query it efficiently in SQL. But I'm stuck there due to a lack of tools.

The original study on blue lights was on a small number of humans, and the delta in sleep was less than 20 mins per night. So if this isn't a useful study, I would hardly consider the original blue light study useful or conclusive either. The only reason why you heard about the original study was because it made the headlines.

Exactly? No, not exactly. I am not agreeing with you, no matter how much you claim I am.

The war was almost over by D-Day? Boloney. D-Day was before Operation Bagration! Yes, Russia had the initiative on the Eastern Front. No, they did not keep the initiative by slowing their operational tempo.

Russia stopped and waited for the Allies to catch up? Double boloney. That would have required Stalin to trust the Allies to keep their word on the partition of Germany. I see exactly zero evidence that he had any such trust. Instead, it was the western Allies that stopped at the Elbe, and waited for Russia to take Berlin and everything east of the partition line.

I always hated experiments in chemistry class, as it was always boring and trivial. Kids who liked it, did so because it was a time to slack off, watch colors change, play around with the props etc. It didn't help in understanding anything and was as detached from the rest of the chemistry lessons as if it was a subject to itself.

Interestingly, as a student I also disliked whenever the book went in the direction that TFA recommends: explaining the experimental underpinnings of theory. It always felt unsatisfactory, like a "God of gaps" argument. Whenever the student was not ready to hear the detailed derivations from more basic principles (advanced topics), the justification was just "experiments have shown that [...]". Many times I found out there are more basic underlying reasons and felt cheated. I wanted to understand how the universe works, not who discovered it and when.

My young self would think, leave me alone with pictures of dusty old books and people with funny hair, I want to know how the universe is structured. We're just a speck of dust in the grand scheme of the universe, I want to learn about galaxies, planets, elements. These are what any objective observer, like aliens, would care about, not the lives of some humans hundreds of years ago.

Today I understand better that I was already thinking inside of a certain scientific framework which very much depends on the guys with the funny hairs, and the way things are conceptualized aren't really inevitable, they are models, with imperfections and there's no magic source of authority who knows the answer to everything. We don't have the blueprints from God and learning more about the process of scientific discovery would have been useful perhaps. Too bad that the average school teacher would not be up for that task. Nor would most 10-14-year-olds have the necessary intellectual framework and abstraction in place to understand what is even being discussed. "I'm the teacher and this is how things are" is much easier to get across.
Yeah. I currently gate 155 RSS feeds to email using a custom built Perl script. A sieve filter directs them to a "News" folder, which I consume using my phone and laptops IMAP clients. Some of those feeds are very busy, e.g https://news.ycombinator.com/rss so I updated my script to allow me to assign regexes to particular feeds so I only get articles of interest.

Well, they're not really all RSS. 27 of those RSS feeds are actually Twitter streams that I gated to RSS first using this application which I wrote: https://gitlab.com/mikecardwell/functwitter

Oh, and 7 of them are actually just normal web pages which I converted to RSS feeds using https://fetchrss.com/
Perhaps, but the restrictions also line up with requirements to be a valid DNS hostname.
Nice, thank you!

1. I don't see any mention of a very common omission:

aws lambda add-permission

This an IAM resource-based policy necessary for services like SNS and SQS to use Lambda. The web console adds these for you automatically, but when using the CLI it's very easy to forget.

2. I would strongly suggest using a tool like Terraform (or Cloudformation if you hate yourself) for actually managing Lambda.
That article was published exactly one year after the introduction, at the time about a third of all delivered aircraft to date were delivered, theres some lag from delivery to first revenue flight, so its plausible that less than 100 had been in revenue service.

So, with all the lag in getting the aircraft into service, its plausible that in the next 10 months the type could rack up 500,000 flights, since thats just a little more than 4 flights a day per aircraft on average.
Just to clarify Google's choice of Kotlin -- the maker of their IDE invented and did all of the heavy lifting with Kotlin, including building the JVM targeting compiler, and the IDE to develop it in (which is the foundation of Android Studio). Adopting Kotlin was very close to free for Android, and was really just rubber stamping what a lot of developers were doing regardless.
I'm open to using any db that I can query over some engine with a python implementation. So any SQL db should be fine. However, I don't know how to convert a csv to an SQL directly. Is the command you mentioned part of some SQL server package? Sounds like it's exactly what I need.

As @kerkeslager states below, this is just not true.

I think the best way to understand a placebo effect is this:
If I don't give 100 patients a drug to cure a cough and 30% stop coughing, I have a baseline.

If I give 100 patients a drug to cure a cough and 90% stop coughing I can say my drug is effective.

If I give 100 patients a sugar pill and tell them it will cure a cough and 60% stop coughing I can say this is better than my baseline and the placebo effect is present.

If I give 100 patients a sugar pill and tell them it will cure a sneeze and 60% stop coughing and nobody stops sneezing, then I need to revisit my previous study to find out if sugar can cure a cough. But in this case you don't have a placebo effect because the patients believed the pill was to address a sneeze.

I'm curious how this doesn't qualify as wiretapping if they can read the calls without a warrant. Does that make it legal for anyone to operate a StingRay?

If it does, another option would be malicious compliance. Have anyone who's interested run their own StingRay and collect information on Law Enforcement and government representatives. I think the laws around it would change very quickly if you leveraged the loophole against the government.
I use both AirPods and Powerbeats Pro with my iPhone, Watch, AppleTV and MacBook Pro. Most of the issues are when I am switching between the devices. Admittedly, this is something ordinary bluetooth headphones would not be able to do at all or be extraordinarily difficult pairing/repairing across devices. So I give latitude to connectivity in these scenarios. But when they fail to switch or when AppleWatch fails to connect, it is a pain to "solve".

Historically, dating back to the origins of Oxford, one year's worth of tuition cost 50% of median wage, but one year's worth of books cost 2 years worth of wages, and one year of board cost 5 times median wage [1].

Anyone can take MIT and Harvard classes for free online. A quality education is basically free. Community colleges cost less than 1/2 of minimum wage per year.

Just because people are spending more on education doesn't mean education is more expensive.

Came here to reference Alexander as a reaction against modernist tyranny and say how it was his work that influenced software architects and designers today moreso than any of the modernists. Given buildings are necessarily expressions of economy, it is very difficult to discuss architecture without including moral and political questions.

The post-modernist discussions of architecture go far in one direction, barely even bothing to discuss building, (see Robert Venturi's "Leaving Las Vegas," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Venturi)

When you look at the time and values of the Bauhaus, the architecture was also an expression of values, a rejection of craft, religion, nobility, hierarchy. It was the imposition of form on the landscape, and with it, society. It was without awe, reverence, respect, or recognition of anything greater than material human needs.

Mies van Der Rohe's buildings at least have some nods to the origin of their materials, but today they seem quaint and sentimental for their naive and dated view of progress. Otherwise, both modernism and later brutalism were the expression of ideals we look back on today as abominations.
This was definitely true in the past, and might still be true now, I'm not sure, but XCode does a good job of catching Swift errors now and can fix several of them for you, and for those that don't, there mostly seems to be useful StackOverflow answers for the error messages online now.

I took a long break from working with Swift and just started diving into it again, and even though there was two major versions since I last messed with it, it was pretty easy to settle into it, and I've only had to look up how to do things on a case by case basis periodically. Maybe that's just my experience, though, and others have a harder time with it.
If a car is in limp mode though you probably shouldn't be moving it at all unless you have already committed to writing it off.

I suppose someone with full access to data from e.g. FlightAware could try to see how many total logged flights there were.

> They don't want someone to be able to write an app that can read anything anywhere on your phone,

And that's the main problem with Foundation which hurts Swift as a language: it was made for iPhone apps, and hardly anything else. I was trying to make a CLI app on the desktop. I gave up and used something else.

> It's not that complicated once you look it up, and like most of this stuff

Yeah, I tried to look it up. It's extremely complicated, and it doesn't help that the documentation tends to spread all the knowledge across dozens of pages with very terse documentation and next to zero examples.

> I've opened many a file in Python scripts, but I'd have to look up buffering, encoding, errors, closefd, and opener right now if I wanted to use them

My example doesn't have any buffering, or encoding, or anything. It's just reading a file. There's no chance in hell you can deduce those lines from the documnentation, or find out where to put the files to read from, or find out that it's not the file's job to read/write data, but String type's (wat?) etc.

It doesn't help that the only real example of reading and writing files isn't in the docs, but in a StackOverflow answer (most other examples are either outdated, or use calls to Obj-C libs etc.)
