Hm, I was pinged by a company (samba.tv) earlier in the year which does exactly this for a number of TV models. They claimed it was always opt-in.
yes, the first example I know from the top of my head is all the sonoff stuff.

They run a popular ESP8266 chip which people reflash.

Adobe actually did extensive market study regarding a PS Linux port. The conclusion was that there is basically zero demand for a PAID Photoshop. People do want PS on Linux,but they want a FREE version (sudo apt-get install photoshop)
Huh interesting. I do agree that this is also a problem for me.

Would it follow naturally from just being able to see the files that are affected? I'll look at the model file first and then move onto the controller file for example.
Thought experiment, in your mind what would better produce modularity — TDD or static type verification?

If you had to pick one.
I guess "archaic" is how we call actual useful online services these day. Websites and services that just work, without harassing the user, and do what they do well. If this is archaic, gosh, may we have more of these archaic things.
Sed looks like someone decided to make regex into a programming language.
I can choose how typed my code is. The existence of extremely strong typing facilities doesn't mean I have to use them to the max at every turn. Hence, the types are a set of tools I can use to craft interfaces.

And the fact that I can impose constraints on my callers so that they can't accidentally call my code wrong, all the better.

And in my experience, despite Haskell being quite niche, its library quality and ease-of-use is very good. The ecosystem's main weakness is lack of libraries for things period. When they exist, they tend to be nice. Types help with this directly as well.
I listen to most things above 1x speed specifically so that I don't have time to have creative thoughts about what I'm listening to, as that quickly leads to me no longer actually listening. Instead I have to specifically pause it if I want to stop and think about it.
I find that times pursuing breadth help me find new interests to pursue in depth, and the cycle tends to advance my career. Always appreciate posts reflecting on past behavior.
I, as a non-native English speaker who mainly interface English through written language and rarely via spoken language, find this fascinating. I am able to read articles and blog posts in English rapidly and with full comprehension, but I'm totally NOT able to speak out loud most of the words. I find that it's mostly through visual medium the words "come" to me.
Plus I imagine it'll apply nowhere near as much pressure on the track, so you'd end up needing a lot of brushes and then they'd all be wearing down quickly at 60mph or so.
> they should create an Adobe Linux distribution and bless a single toolkit and then I think you would suddenly see people actually feeling like they could both use it professionally and developers actually feeling like they could target it effectively without worry of fragmentation

Corel tried this already with a Debian-derived distribution, like a proto-Ubuntu of sorts. It didn't work, so they abandoned that effort.
I love Alaska (and am a Gold MVP on it, and dodged doing a mileage run this year) but I will say that their delusions of competing as a major character have made them more annoying in recent years.
It's impossible to get into the flow state of reading (when you are not aware you are reading) without subvocalizing. I've tried forever. It's impossible and anyone who claims to is lying or is just constantly skimming ("speed reading").
Are you saying that no Muslim neighborhoods have emptied out?

And why don't you tell us the true description of the contents and intention of the CCA.
I’m a developer at Morgan Stanley. The layoffs were largely targeted at technology and operations in New York and London, including a significant chunk of middle management. Word is that there could be more in January/March targeting lower level people and contractors. There will of course be more layoffs to come every December for people who are too old or are make too much money. Needless to say, I’m heading for the exits.
Hard how? Hard to bring yourself to do it, or hard because it caused consequences when you did it?
You are correct. The voter has the option to lead options unranked or rank several ones equally. So it's easier than having to come up with a complete ordering. Still, I would expect than many voters would come up with slightly different ballot sheets when having to do it several times. Did I give these 3 or 4 options the same low rank? Even if not required most Debian voters seem to give complete orderings https://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_001_tally.txt in "normal" elections. In this complicated systemd voting less so https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_initsystems/tally.txt
Time spent typing might not be a bottleneck, but I think latency between thinking and having code can be. Typing quickly isn't the only way to reduce that latency though.
Can you expand on this? Haskell or F# have less noise than Ocaml. Plus with F# you can just pipe things neatly. I started and still love Python, these languages have ALOT of stuff going for them that blows the standard language used nowadays out of the water.

Download .netcore and setup VSCode + Ionide plugin and you’re ready to rock and roll (fastest IDE setup). As you write your code, you’ll see the function signature and what the compiler can infer from your code.

When Tesla did a platform deal in 2010 for the RAV4 they had at least sold a car to customers.

Why would Ford license a drivetrain from a company thats never shipped a car when they already have a drivetrain licensing deal with VW (who have at least sold EV’s).

I predict Rivian will use the deal with Amazon and Ford as an excuse to “pivot” from shipping any cars to customers, and it’ll be another decade of prototypes and vague licensing deals that dont generate any revenue.

Its not even strictly privacy violation, but carelessness. Google would never enable something like this(raw calling someone elses unvalidated library) internally, yet its a wild west when it comes to browsers running on user computers. How did we get to the point where browser will happily leak available C drive free space with one stupid navigator.storage.estimate() call.
Fiction: Unsong by Scott Alexander. The funnest and funniest sci-fi yarn since Douglas Adams, amidst tantalizing explorations of theodicy and existential absurdicy. It's even free: http://unsongbook.com https://github.com/moorederodeo/Unsong-In-Ebook-Format/relea...

Non-fiction: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. Of all the books of the last ten years, I can't think of one that more transformed my understanding of (and compassion for) my fellow thinking, feeling, moralizing, tribal primates. https://righteousmind.com/
Unfortunately to get that tier you have to put up with a gargantuan high-latency IDE that thinks a lot. Helpful yes, but not a clear win on non-huge projects.
I’m well acquainted with how ptsd works.

The vast majority of the people in the military are never exposed to anything at all. They do a job and they get paid for it. They’re no more likely to develop ptsd than the local grocer, plumber or electrician. Many of them are exactly a grocer, plumber, or electrician with a military ID card. They’re not “Mercs” any more than the local grocer...

Everyone on active duty today entered voluntarily as well.
The classic example is a militia (the weakest unit in the game, relying on no technology at all) defeating a battleship bombarding it from the sea, causing the battleship to sink. :D
Your comment reminds me how in the Sheckley's short story "The Demons" Neelsebub was confused when human take off his coat.

I think that these scene actually removes confusion as it clearly establishes that they definitely can wear fur coats over their natural fur. I don't get how it's different from humans, we also have skin-colored clothes.
Tangent: doesn’t the decade end at the end of next year?
Not sure it quite compares to the phone custom ROM community in size but there is an active community. I've reflashed cheap wifi IoT devices which otherwise wanted to phone home with Tasmota[0] which seems like a relatively active project. There are other similar efforts too. You could also consider eg home assistant, openhab or domoticz to form part of this type of community and they're very active.

What you say is also true. Often, if patients don’t return we assume it has resolved itself, partly because it sometimes does (especially minor complaints) and partly as pragmatically its hard enough to keep up with current workload.
I agree doctors do what works for them, and think both of what’s good for the patient and what they could be sued/penalised for and how to avoid that harm too. I think this sometimes leads to worse outcomes but you have to work in the system you are in.
I guess part of the difference between a good doctor and a great one is knowing when to pry more, find out things aren’t working and try something different.
Sorry for your bad experiences. I think there are more good doctors than we think out there, it’s just the system and workload ruin it for everyone.
There are many tools available outside the editor as well as testing to catch these errors.

Then perhaps I should clarify: the Alpha Centauri character Sister Miriam Godwinson is no fiction writer, at least not in this world, her spiel just reminds me of one.
The Math Reading Challenge 2020
I like the one that’s the riff off Microsoft’s 90s campaign “where do you want to go today?” while mocking Microsoft’s defense of its monopoly conviction.

“Of course we'll bundle our MorganNet software with the new network nodes! Our customers expect no less of us. We have never sought to become a monopoly. Our products are simply so good that no one feels the need to compete with us. --Where do you want your Node today?”

Error messages are "blaming the user".. its job is to help inform the user the mistake he made.

You can silently beat your child everytime he makes a mistake, until he accidentally does the job correctly (and doesn't get beaten), but it seems to me that making use of our ability to communicate can be much more efficient (and significantly less painful for the child).

And json is merely a (very innefficient, and somewhat problematic) protocol for information exchange; it's not something you should expect people to have read the spec for, especially when its whole popularity stems from it being "intuitive" -- that is, you don't really need to read the spec to deal with it effectively
I need to read more into svelte but I often find myself bogged down the contrived surgical DOM update examples.

Well.. With redux or Mobx you are largely updating existing DOM attributes in both Vue and React. The overhead in changing existing attributes on components is fairly minimal, and it's certainly not where the bulk of the performance issues in these systems are. It's also not where the value is.

The real value in Vue and React is reconciling data _graphs_ with the DOM _graph_. Unfortunately the need to reconcile the full graph, or even parts of the graph, is where a lot of the performance hit comes from. Particularly with lists; hence virtual scrollers. With the advent of proxies though, I would suspect both Vue and React could be retooled a bit to be more clever about how the DOM graph gets updated in response to changes in lists and other data graphs. More "surgical" so to speak.

Am I missing something or could the bulk of the performance gap be made up without needing to ditch React and Vue(throwing the baby out with the bath water so to speak)?
It depends on what you're programming as well. I suspect for cases when you can type faster than you think you'd be able to use a macro or some IDE snippet feature for it.
I guess I didn’t understand your point because I think statically typed languages are more easy to use than Python, not less, as soon as the program is longer than 500 lines or so.
On top of most big trucks never being used offroad, most offroaders never need this, and you can see that most offroad trucks do not have this.
More of an issue is that the devices will be single SoC and soldered together so removing a part risks frying the whole thing.

How about SSR, and how routing is setup?
Let me add two books that are among the best I've ever read:

* "Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress Hardcover," by Steven Pinker -- even if you disagree with him about some things (for example, on principle), the book is really worth a slow, careful read.

* "The Better Angels of Our Nature," also by Steven Pinker -- in many ways, this is a precursor to the above book, and also worth a careful read. In particular, I found it eye-opening to learn how much everyday violence human beings have inflicted on each other throughout history, and how remarkably non-violent most lives are today, by comparison, in more developed economies.
JR by William Gaddis. It's about an 11 year old boy who creates and operates multinational conglomerate from a phonebooth in the late 60s early 70s. This book is a satire of capitalism. It has a unique writing style with no chapters or even paragraphs. It moves fluidly between narration and dialogue even within the same sentence. And it has no breaks between scenes, it's like birdman: one long tracking shot with no jump cuts. The writing style is meant to convey the chaos of capitalism and makes it really difficult to read (for example you don't always know who's talking and people talk over each other a lot). But it's totally worth it and really funny.

Despite it being a satire and taking capital allocation and tax avoidance to absurd extremes it actually imparted on me a better appreciation of what it is to run a business from a finance perspective (I have a software background and find myself too focused on product at the expense of focusing on the entire business)

I also recently read The Outsiders, that new book about 8 CEOs that are great at capital allocation and created incredibly high returns for shareholders. The Outsiders is almost like a real life serious version of JR.
Good points. I feel very fortunate that I have never had to work at one of these megacorps (banks, tech, etc) where you're just a number on a balance sheet. It hits me in the gut thinking about 1500 people being fired over a bank pretending to be worried about the future.
That's for removing a sticker. Not for removing a whole module or messing with wiring.
These are related issues.

The debt glut exists because interest rates are low, interest rates are low for the specific goal of making savers feel like owning US debt or parking money in bank accounts is a waste of time. The goal is for those savers to give random entrepreneurs their money to do fuck all with to "stimulate the economy", and the market is saying "hell no, instead of me earning minuscule interest, I'll literally pay you so I don't have to do that", so governments and corporations issue even more debt at lower and even negative yields.
which language?
As a “libertarian”, I have to hold my tongue and smile in most conversations.

The Overton Window has become so shockingly small, that most “normals” educated in the last 20 or so years no longer even realize that they have been mentally neutered.

> To better understand how Up Next discovery works, BuzzFeed News ran a series of searches on YouTube for news and politics terms popular during the first week of January 2019 (per Google Trends). We played the first result and then clicked the top video recommended by the platform’s Up Next algorithm. We made each query in a fresh search session with no personal account or watch history data informing the algorithm, except for geographical location and time of day, effectively demonstrating how YouTube’s recommendation operates in the absence of personalization.

From a technical perspective this does not seem very rigorous, specifically:

> We made each query in a fresh search session with no personal account or watch history

I don't see how you can confidently say

> effectively demonstrating how YouTube’s recommendation operates in the absence of personalization

---

1) What is a "fresh search session"

2) Were all these requests made from the same IP address?

3) What does no personal account or watch history mean? Did you use incognito mode, did you logout from chrome, had you recently been logged into an account in that browser (such that cookies may still be present)?

The point of my comment is that this research is ~hard~ and its difficult to definitely prove that Google's algorithms are immoral unless you can research with a high degree of rigor (the study is repeatable, its been peer reviewed by experts, etc).

FWIW I think this research is immensely valuable and needed, but I feel like until it is done well the "news" about it is little more then Op eds and blogspam.
Hi Stan!
$6/yr is early adopter price. With a little competition and multiple spy devices per home, that will drop to bulk rates of $1/yr/device or less.
Vue's templates are great until they aren't, and then you wish you were using JSX.

The IDE tooling is worlds better with JSX as well. Vetur has.. had a rough year.

What I'm wondering is whether our attitude toward alcohol poisoning is like that toward "hot" peppers and herbs. I understand that those last two repel broad groups of animals. So perhaps being tipsy is something other animals despise while we tolerate and even welcome it.

_if_ that is the case then it opens up carbohydrates to us that other animals pass up. Maybe it's even testable in a lab.

Did COREL not have their Linux distro? I vaguely remember having 3.0 install discs lying around. Certainly not remember if it ran any corel applications though
As always when talking about debt, this article only discusses the right side of the balance sheet (debt) but ignore the left side (asset): every piece of debt created is someone's else asset. And if the amount of debt is rising, it means that the amount of debt security is rising also. Who owns it, and why some institutions and people are able to hoard such an increasing amount of assets should be as important to the discussion than how much debt there is, yet it remains undiscussed. (Yes QE/central banks is part of the answer now, but it only came after the previous crisis, which where caused by too much debt, so it's not at all the full answer)
Same in Chicago with Metra commuter rail, still lots of switching issues in the winter. Hard problem to solve, even with the liberal application of heat.
Factfulness is the most impactful book I've ever read.

It's about making decisions based on facts rather than feelings and setting a few common misconceptions straight. Such as that the world is going to shit (we've been doing great in reducing worldsuck), violence is increasing (it's not), that most people on the planet don't get vaccinated (globally, 90% of one-year-olds have some vaccination), etc. It provides practical methods to understand better how things work, for example the graph of world population growing exponentially in the past century is something that looks unsustainable, but the truth is that it's slowing down (I think many people know this nowadays, the book is already showing its age two years down the road) and that families are getting smaller when health increases, irrespective of religion or geographical location.

Of course, we have an absolute emergency regarding our CO2 emissions and the ongoing 6th extinction event, that's not what this book is about. The book just shows we've been doing great and how to get a better sense of reality and what's important. I think it's a positive and helpful foundation for putting the current status of humans on this planet into perspective.

In fact I think it would be really good if everyone did read this book. I've made a preview that includes part of the first chapter that you can use to make a decision whether this book is something for you, send me an email if you want to take a look (not sharing publicly because it's in the grey area of fair use). I'm also willing to help with the purchasing price if you can't afford it, somehow non English versions are twice as expensive. Note that I have zero affiliation with the author or anything, I just think everyone should read this material.

On the fiction side, The Martian is my all time favorite. It's very entertaining, clever, and even educative if you like to learn about space stuff.

If you enjoy that, you'll probably also enjoy The Expanse (last, 9th, book is coming out next winter probably).

A little bit further out but also a similar genre are the books from Daniel Suarez, all of which I can recommend as well, though not all of his books are from the last decade.

Edit: just found another comment about factfulness, it's accurate: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21902411

2. Some services just won't start at boot. E.g. reproducible ntpd on CentOS 7
3. Sometimes my notebook, running Debian with systemd, won't shut down an I had to shut it down hard by ling pressing the power button.

Never had this kinds of problems with any other init systems.

Conflict is slowly but surely building. There will be a major war very, very soon. It will make WW2 look like a tea party.
That’s a pretty strong statement. I don’t normally subvocalize while reading, and yes, I can still get into that flow state if I’m immersed in what I’m reading. I can subvocalize while reading if I think about it, but it’s honestly kind of distracting.

Well the one you linked to is a good example.

If property rights are derived by the ability to argue then babies can't own property. But they can... If the argument is that someone else does the argument on behalf of the baby then anything can use that argument.

We see other numerous counter examples - court cases on behalf of animal rights, collectively owned property etc.

It's a simple circular argument disguised in lots of complicated writing.

These days few, if any, such URLs will in practice be typed in much less spoken aloud; they will overwhelmingly be clicked or at copy/pasted. So shortness is probably not a problem. In addition, suppressing obvious typos (lowercase L/digit 1) doesn’t really matter either.
