Oh! You misunderstood my question: I meant to ask whether Tesla's latest software update continues to ship a 2.6.36 kernel on Parrot, or a newer kernel instead, as they do for their other modules.

(Tesla uses the name Parrot to refer to this system in the car.)

A reason for them not to still be on 2.6.36 is that it's deeply exploitable.

SEEKING WORK | Remote Only (located in Atlantic Timezone, ET+1)

Full stack Rails developer with tons of product management experience.

My sweet spot is helping founders with deep domain experience who are funded and need to build a v1. B2B SaaS is my specialty.

I've worked with the CEOs of Predictable Revenue and Headphones.com, and brands like ESPN.

A recent success includes working with a client CEO to take his idea from napkin to $130M in revenue.

I’ve been building and shipping software professionally for 18 years, on Rails for 11, and consulting remotely for 10+. Clients like my approach because it's pragmatic, thoughtful, and focused on business growth: I've run three B2B SaaS businesses (and sold two of them). I see technology as a leveraged tool for growing a business, not an end in itself.

Looking for projects that are ready to start soon. Ideal project is B2B SaaS with a budget of US$20k+.

Need to look at total miles driven, not just population size vs. number of deaths.

Doesn't Norway have huge taxes on automobiles which chill ownership? If so, then population is not relevant. If only 10% of people can afford to own cars, then the number of crashes and fatalities will certainly be low.

The US standard of living is far higher. Whether that leads to more fatalities or not is anybody's guess. I would prefer the idea that we don't bother teaching people to drive very well or that people don't value developing their own good driving skills.

I've read that LEO in the USA specifically try to grab laptops / phones while they are unlocked.

This seems to be designed as a defense against that threat model.

It can also happen quickly with isolated parents if they're at a transition point (still living home) and a scammer walks in. I had a friend who's father was starting to suffer from dementia and had a woman who got control of some of his bank account info and was emptying him out. After my friend had his dad hospitalized, she was calling the hospital trying to get access to him and he had to get his room changed to an alias. Hospitals have frighteningly poor security measures.

Hi everyone,

I started developing an open-source multiplayer game for the browser a few months ago. It aims to be as simple as possible (in code and architecture) for everyone to read, modify or host.

It uses React, TypeScript, NodeJS, PIXI, Colyseus and Docker (if you want to).

The project uses open-source software (for which I link licenses) and free assets. The project itself is licensed with MIT.

- You can check the sources here: https://github.com/halftheopposite/tosios

- You can play it here: https://tosios-demo.herokuapp.com

Hope it makes you, your friends and colleagues happy!

NB: You can open a second tab to play against youself.
Terrible article.

But even worse, the "fix" was what I would consider a spaghetti hack. They create a HashSet that is mostly never used? The real fix is to create the HashSet when you know you need it and don't create it if you don't need it. It sounds like the underlying code has expectations that the HashSet exists and is valid, which in and of itself is bad code.

Check to see if it's null, and if it is null and you need it to not be null, then allocate it then, with size 0 or default capacity, whichever makes more sense.
That interpretation of prohibition looks past the very reasons why it was advocated for and ultimately instituted.

You mention yourself that drinking caused real harmful societal issues, and it was these issues which prohibitionists sought to confront

The overall lesson, is that it's far better to convince than to coerce. Coercion often causes a backlash, especially when it runs counter to market forces. On the other hand, when one convinces, backlash is greatly reduced, and the change sticks.

The Left is just as willing and eager to legislate its own morality in pursuit of creating a world that is more consistent with its own moral vision.

Not just legislation. Basically anyone who controls a "platform" is willing to use that power to push their own political agenda. (Not just owners, but their technicians and hired help.) Back when such platforms were newspapers, markets could control the worst abuses. Now, platforms have much more interaction and much greater reach.

If computer networks are as deep and far-reaching a change to culture as the printing press was, then it should be expected that the conception of human rights should have to change to accommodate such change. In 2020, we need our own version of "freedom of the press" which applies to platforms.
I found the break in a 10m extension cable, by measuring the capacitance at each end and calculating the ratio of the two values. This predicted a break at roughly 1m from one end. Then started probing the cable from 10cm towards the ”short” side, moving towards the long side. Found the break within 15cm, saving roughly 9m of cable.
It's not obvious if you're not from India, so thank you for the explanation :)

I’ve only used the Python library, and I think I survived. I only used it for some visualization however.

And I’m still unclear. Are you trying to serve these tiles to another application? Or are you trying to make a digital/print map?

And SVG is probably excessive for static tiles. It won’t have the size reduction of a raster tile nor the benefit of a true vector solution.

Hey
Manifue
The SEC began its investigation in late January, after the arrest and months-long fishing expeditions by Japanese prosectors (and two or three different announcements about crimes they had found, the latter of which dismissed the earlier theories).

The Japanese prosecution is easily 100% political; any actual crimes they found are pure coincidence. As for myself, I am much more upset by a corrupt and politicized judiciary in charge of a major first-world nation than I am by dubious business deals, just one case of the many they will handle.

(And further note that Ghosn was while still in jail in Japan while he settled with the SEC, with very little access to his lawyers... and, of course, no trial date set, because who needs a "right to a speedy trial" anyway?)
Definitely. But it may be enough depending on your parents, I think for now it's enough for my mother for example. And the title question is "How do you protect your parents?" not "How, hypothetically, should everybody's parents be protected?"

My mother phoned me because her laptop was yelling at her. Bad guys had taken over her browser (IE maybe? Or Edge? I genuinely don't remember) and on start-up it was repeating a verbal message on maximum volume about how they now controlled her computer and she needed to call them to... well you know how these go.

But she had the sense to realise that even though it said she must call _them_ she could rather call _me_ and since it was yelling at her she put the laptop down and left it yelling into thin air. I walked her through the surprisingly easy process to disable it and get her back in her comfort zone. I explained what they'd tried to achieve, that they had tried to trick her into thinking they were more powerful than they really were - and praised her for taking the time to call me.
Not really by design, but I have a brilliant method! My mom still has only a land line, and the cord is too short to reach the computer.

She got a fake virus alert on some skeezy website, and she immediately called the number, without checking with me.

They tried to talk her through enabling remote access so they could get in and do whatever horrible thing they intended, but they had to get her to identify her IP address and type a few commands first.

She tried going back and forth from the telephone to the computer in another room, and the scammer finally got angry and screamed at her, "can't you borrow a cellphone from one of your neighbours?" When she told him she couldn't, the man just hurled obscenities and hung up.

These guys really depend upon you being able to talk to them while typing and clicking.
> What do you see as the problem: Scrum itself, or the cargo cult of folks who do it badly?

Scrum itself. Sorry, but when you create a list of ScrumButs and indirectly deride everyone for not being able to take "Full Advantage of Scrum" so that your purists can go out and attack it at full force, yeah, that might be the problem.

The idea that different organizations might actually benefit from not adopting a methodology wholesale isn't that farfetched.

You could argue that's part of the cargo cult, I'd agree to some extent. But it becomes difficult to separate the 2 when you're literally derided for not following it to the religious T.

Why Marc Benioff Gifted the AppStore.com Domain to Steve Jobs
Looks useful (apparently written in Vue + Nuxt), and I appreciate the privacy section, being open about how things work (WebRTC, recordings stored locally), what is collected or not.

But in recent years I've become allergic to anything Google, so I don't feel comfortable giving the app permissions to my screens. Just honest feedback..
There is no reasonable expectation that temperature increase will be limited to 1.5 degrees, because the recommended reductions in CO2 emissions are not, in fact, occurring, and in fact they are still increasing.

Thus far, events have turned out to reliably hug the high side of IPCC projections, each year.

Out-migration from tropical areas is already occurring, and already generating fascist leanings in destination countries. There is no reason to believe either will spontaneously reverse.

Impact on coral reefs implies reduced fish stocks, and thus reduced protein availability.

Continued denial of observable effects at all levels does not inspire expectation of an effective response.
+1 commenting so I can come back
It has always bothered me that I can't simply click on finder in the dock to bring up a window for the first time (as it'll only toggle what windows are already open).

I have to either right-click on it and select new window, click on file in the menu and drag my mouse to new window, or hide/move what's on my screen to double click on Macintosh HD on the desktop. At least on windows I can simply just click on explorer on the taskbar to bring up a first window.

engineers who are usually too competitive with each other to review someone fairly. And that is a major detriment to team cohesion.

This is why engineers are so powerless in most organisations, this crab mentality. Members of other professions always present a united front to outsiders and deal with matters internally. It’s too easy for management to divide-and-conquer engineers.
Back in the 00's our servers were suffering under heavy load. Normally they just bought more servers, but I asked if anyone ever profiled our app and no one could remember doing so. I did so and our home grown ORM did a couple really dumb things. Including access the disk each time it allocated a new object that represented a row (wtf). After spending a couple days fixing those things we needed 1/4 of the servers we did beforehand.

> The entire discussion starts from looking at getting bounds checks optimised away, not optimising seems counter-productive to this concern?

I'm aware of the history of the conversation, but the point where I joined concerned which idiom performs better unoptimized, a case which is relevant because everybody cargo-runs.

> The abstraction here is not really leaky though, observable behaviour would be as expected t’es, it’s when you look at his this behaviour is achieved that things start looking odd.

In many circumstances performance is part of observable behavior.
