> Amtrak moves 10 million through Penn Station a year.

Who cares? I already said I don't care about the NJTransit, LIRR, Amtrak numbers. I can accept 110 million from those sources. What I said was that the the NYC metro numbers was missing.

> That's 30% of the entire metro population.

Yes. And .9 million is the entire metro population of zurich. I was trying to measure likes with likes. That's the point.

> First, subtract everyone who actually lives in NYC except Queens:

Why? Jesus, you are so invested in this that you build up straw man after straw man and bring up switzerland and US over and over again.

For the last time, I'm talking about NYC and Zurich. Penn Station with Zurich's station. Go rant about your issues with US rail elsewhere.

You act like only people from jersey, long island and connecticut use penn station. Penn Station is more than that. Ever hear of the empire state building? Ever hear of madison square garden? New Yorkers also traffic through Penn Station.

If Zurich has more traffic, fine. I'm don't really care. You act like your life depends on whether Zurich or Penn Station has more traffic. My point is simply that given the actual raw numbers, it seems highly unlikely. Unless there is a data point we are missing or overlooking.

My issue is with the validity of these numbers, your issue is you want to make the US look bad at all costs.
nobody likes "artificial intelligence". laypeople are scared of it. the media blames it for all evils. it brings connotations of frankenstein, arrogant atheism, etc. it's reasonable to want to hide behind a different term.
I think we're dealing with another web dev who doesn't bother testing outside of Chrome.
Well its pretty simple. Just remove the most essential feature needed by almost all iPhone users and create a new alternative, forcing everyone to buy AirPods or the second-best alternative. If they won't upgrade soon, then planned obsolescence takes it course. Due to the AirPods being a platform and ecosystem in its self, there is less of a reason for iPhone users to settle on an alternative apart from price, which completes the lock-in.

I would expect Apple to make more out the AirPods after they force those stuck on iPhone 6S's or SE's to upgrade. Revenue-wise, it almost unfair to begin comparing with the revenues with any of those mentioned companies. It just puts things into perspective of how 'successful' the AirPods have become for Apple.

Not included. Use external module, eg. ENC28J60 (dominant and open source drivers for ~all platforms) which is cheapest, SPI based and 10M limited. For higher throughput look at Wiznet modules or bigger MCUs with MII/RMII which gets much pricier - with low end MCUs you can't generate or process that much data anyway.
Huawei Freebuds and Xiaomi Airdots are clear alternatives in Asia at least. Airpods are very popular too, even in places where the cost seems prohibitive, partly because the Huawei and Xiaomi ones are also premium products.

I'm not sure, should they?

Seems like workers would want to work at a place if they're fairly compensated (in contrast to increasing with company profits), treated well and enjoy their job. Sure you can reward employees for good company performance, and many do in forms of bonuses, equity growth etc, but 1) it's not required and 2) it's not directly correlated to company profits. I mean, if a company won a "lottery", e.g. a huge sale contract, should all employees get a corresponding boost in income?

A behaviour defines an interface a module can implement, nothing more. A good example of a behaviour that doesn’t involve any process is the SSL session cache:

http://erlang.org/doc/man/ssl_session_cache_api.html

If you implement your own cache module (backed by a file, DB, whatever) and it respects this interface, you can then pass it to the SSL functions and they’ll use it instead of the default cache.

It just happens that gen_server is both the name of a behaviour, and the name of a module, which can be a bit confusing. The gen_server module implements a generic server process, which is customized by passing it a module that implements the gen_server behaviour (as an argument of `start_link`).
Platformio is definitely what I’d recommend using. It’s been the best experience I’ve had so far

The real professional Arduino is the Mbed, run by ARM.

It's for professionals, by professionals, and it shows in good quality.

But, you pay for the abstraction - it's inefficient with hardware resources.

Another alternative is modm.io.

It's a modern take on the hardware abstraction layer, claimed to be very efficient.

It may just be that with it's combination of high efficiency and portability, you would get the cheapest mcu for your project.
Right but this is because startups are largely a financial vehicle to transfer value created by employees to investors and founders. If startups actually gave employees a real stake in their business, the equity math would make much more sense. Its a cultural issue, but also, the set of people working at startups for worthless equity is mostly disjoint with the set that can get hired at Google/FB. Its almost a different career.

The value of full stack engineering is also plummeting because the tooling i.e. React has gotten so good that the barrier to entry is very low.
For a majority of people wireless earbuds are far superior than tangled corded headphones. Its pretty clear based on how popular in ear Bluetooth earbuds are. Not just on the iOS side either.
"some failed to follow the company’s checklists"

great. that's confidence inspiring.
Basically, an L5 (or equivalent level at other companies) is supposed to be largely independently competent (but not necessarily excel) in most engineering areas. They understand the context enough to determine which projects are important (including those they might make), they can identify stakeholders and communicate status and needs well enough, they can project manage enough (or make a project manager successful), they can work through others to a reasonable degree, and so forth. They'll know those areas they'll never be good at, and have some mitigations in place for those. They're self-motivated, think about their work holistically, and generally will navigate the delivery of the project without guidance - but when they need it, they'll make sure they get it.

From an interview point of view, they're probably looking for examples of that independence and self-motivation (ie, not just doing what someone told you to do), and also the step beyond just writing the code towards more holistic ownership (things like "created a new test harness along the way", "did a survey of developers", "made sure there was a killswitch", "created a rollout strategy", "convinced another engineer to share review and support responsibilities").

No, I mean type annotations in the functions defining the tasks. If you look at their first example, they define a function called `get_traintest_splitdatabase`, and the input and outputs are annotated using two decorators.
Except the first iPhone was not simple to use. It didn't even have 3G. You couldn't use MMS. It lacked a ton of other basic features, such as custom software. Then there was the need for jailbreaking to get some basic features back.

Ever since Web 2.0 it was clear to me that a touch-based UI would win if you used a web browser; it was Apple's capacitive touch UI which was the killer feature. Nobody had such even though Mozilla was experimenting already with a mobile browser (Fennec). (For some use-cases, a keyboard is still desirable though. E.g. a Pebble during sports is better usable than a touch-based smartwatch.)

You don't need to know what Ogg Vorbis is; I knew because I ripped my CDs to Ogg Vorbis. I already paid for these. It allowed me to save even more space compared to MP3 and AAC.
/bin/bash won't usually ship with a BSDish OS because of the license, so it is not generally portable to use bash-isms. (HPUX, IRIX, SunOS, Solaris, etc. I don't reckon would have had bash either)

The worst part, sony manages to screw this up even when they are in the lead. They have a line of Bose QC35 competitor over the ear headphones that legitimately beat Bose (in terms of sound quality; for fit and such, the opinions seem to be 50/50, but pretty much every reddit thread on headphones with active noise canceling within that price range will recommend them), while maintaining the same price. As of today, they are my favorite over the ear headphones that feature noise canceling.

So far, they have 3 generations of those (over the past 5 years iirc). You know what the naming scheme for each generation is?

MDR-1000X (that’s the gen i have and love; heard that the 3rd has some great improvements over the first two as well) -> WH-1000XM2 -> WH-1000XM3

To add an insult to injury, it is literally just one character away from just as poorly named “sony airpods”, which is WF-1000XM3.
Interesting, I think that climate change, slash and burn agricultural practices on marginal land, and the inability of the biome to re-establish itself is what is doing the harm. I never even once gave a single thought to what "celebrities" or other people that were wrong are saying, just like how I deal with right wingers that deny climate change is occurring.
> and anyone could pick it up and use it without knowing anything about it.

I wouldn't say that's accurate. Like the iPod before it, the iPhone relied on experimentation and peer demonstration for UI comprehension. It wasn't discoverable.

My single instance of using an iPhone resulted in total failure in determining how to switch between two running apps. I kept ending up on the home screen and having to click the app's icon again.

Apples clever hack around that was to let customers get hands-on with the devices before purchase in controlled Apple Store environments where they could be nudged into thinking that they had mastered the UI themselves.
I used to have wired headphones die all the time due to stress on the wires connecting to the earbuds or to the phone, and get ripped out while walking nonchalantly down the road. There are a lot of problems with wires that are solved by not having them.
This has been my experience. I bought the original iPhone and thought it was cool but extremely limited. I recognize the huge impact it had on the industry, though. As much as I loved fiddling with my Nexus, at some point I realized that I was fiddling too much with it and would get frustrated that basic functions wouldn't work without issue. Android has changed a bit since then but I'm still on an iPhone now. I'm less frustrated and can count on my phone reliably doing what I need it to do even though sometimes I can't do what I might want to do. Who cares if I can install video wallpaper functionality and tweak the icon spacing/grid if I have to wait 30 seconds to answer the phone because it's freezing up?
I never heard about them. And with the limited information their site provides my initial impression is that this looks incredibly dangerous.
Given this is a laptop it doesn't really make sense to adjust the TDP even if you can. You're going to be limited by the laptop's cooling solution, which is going to be at best sufficient for factory settings but nothing more. More commonly it's actually not quite sufficient for factory settings, leading to thermal throttling over sustained loads.
Tensions involving the US? Because the combination of the US and Canada has been self-sufficient in petroleum for a few years now: i.e., the US need go no further than Canada to get all the oil it needs. The US would be self-sufficient now if the Saudis hadn't lowered their prices about 6 years ago in an explicit attempt to discourage US production; as it is, US self-sufficiency will take a few more years.

Now that the US has the technical means to extract "tight oil" just the state of Texas has enough extractible oil to last the US 100 years, I saw one expert say recently.

(Of course, burning all that oil would cause horrible climate change, but that is true of the Iranian oil, too.)
At least these are tiny compared to the other electronic (and just general plastic) junk I generate. I feel like every grocery trip I end up with 20x the volume of plastic that AirPods have that I would get rid of after a few years.
Assuming this is true, can you show me the benefit of a past military campaign against an oil-rich power? Iraq would be my preference, but I’m open to whatever example you have at hand.

Read as wide a selection of news material as you can over a period of time: From the US, Europe, Russia, Middle East, China, Southern Asia, etc, etc.

You will eventually see where all of their individual biases cancel out, leaving you with a small, relatively accurate "nut" of information that's fairly close to the truth.

If you restrict yourself to (say) the US-only news sources, or the China-only news sources you have nobody to blame but yourself for your being badly misinformed.
That derives from the system they’re operating in though. In a capitalist society the notion that unless compelled by government intervention people and corporations will act in their own self interest is exactly what I’d expect.

If a company is filling a role and 2 similar applicants get matching offers and one accepts the first and the other negotiates I wouldn’t expect the company to go back to the first person and offer him more to bring them to parity.
I really want to use Jellyfin. There is one major thing holding me back right now which is no Roku app without hacking an emby app. I'd love to even help develop or test a Roku Jellyfin app, but I know nothing of their code base (or .NET)
> when those same people removed Gavin Andresen's commit access

It's important to tell the whole story here. Gavin stepped back as lead maintainer and appointed Wladimir. No one else.

Maintainership is the sole reason to have commit acccess. All changes to the software are made as pull requests. And commit access is only needed to merge these pull requests. Nobody commits directly on master without going through a pull request, not even maintainers.

Being the maintainer of an open source project is hard work and can be quite thankless at times. The role is one of a glorified janitor while still requiring the highest both technical and people skills.

It is not surprising people only do this for a few years, and as far as I can tell Gavin did a great job. I don't think that is in dispute. But he should not have commit access when he is no longer maintaining the software.

(It may also be of interest that Gavin stepped back from maintaining the software in order to focus on his role as "chief scientist" for something called the "Bitcoin Foundation". This foundation was comprised of a number of noteworthy people whose names keeps appearing and re-appearing in MLM schemes, "hacked" exchanges, and/or premined coins. Gavin may be the sole exception.)

Yes.

Planets that are smaller than Earth are much more likely to have their hydrogen stripped away by their host star, leaving them without water.

Planets that are larger than Earth are likely to have their growth accelerate into gas giants. Mass distribution of planets shows a gap in sizes between about 1.5 and 2 times the size of the Earth.

Life requires complex chemistry. Complex chemistry can't happen in the dense, hot cores of gas giants, because the heat will destroy any interesting chemicals. Complex chemistry can't happen in the solid phase, because nothing moves around very much. Even though complex chemistry can happen in the gaseous phase, life can't start, because the simple life precursors can't bind themselves. So it requires a liquid. Liquid either means water, so not small planets, or temperatures found only outside the habitable zone, which means solvents other than water, which are unlikely to host life for a variety of reasons.
Probably 50/50 old (but popular) Erlang libraries and newer Elixir libraries.

For protocols, we have a not-uncommon use case for which there’s no mature HTTP client. Mint might be an option but it’s new enough that I haven’t evaluated yet.
Just in case someone actually still doesn't realise - this is a bullshit claim. (that arson is relevant in this situation) There are fires every year and they will happen. Climate change doesn't start fires. What it does is extends the fire season and makes forest management harder, which provides more fuel when the fire is burning.

Was he right or wrong? I love the "appeal to authority" and "ad hominem" arguments made by people.

Would you rather a lie from an "authoritative" source or a truth from a "wacko"?
The government is very afraid of a regional uprising turning into a national one, so they're willing to do a lot to prevent that from happening. Arresting protesters and censoring the news are stop-gap measures; in many cases they don't have much choice but to address whatever grievance was leading to protests in the first place.

It's not a very efficient system, but frequently it does work somehow.

I guess that's what the previous commenter meant.
Hah, wow
Sony’s bet was that they could overcome the strategy tax by sheer talent. They could for a while (2 decades ?) but ended up losing when software became a major part of the business.

Software has always been their Achiles heel.

Their laptop where cool but running widows with super custom drivers. Their music players were cool but running weird formats with proprietary interfaces. Anything that needs software intercompatibility has been basically doomed under Sony.

In contrast Apple has decent software and overcomes the strategy tax by canibilizing itself restlessly and letting third parties eat their lunch where they’re not good enough (to a point. Apple still clings at default apps on iOS for instance)
It's continuation-passing style.
What is this? The entire site already assumes you know what it does.
I honestly think it’s crazy that we don’t give this more attention as a society. Like, there is serious talk that we need to look out for Asteroids. But nothing about hardening ourselves against the next high output solar event, which seems more likely to be a problem.
Sony players were good but all those restrictions,need for special software and etc. was absolutely infuriating. That's why even today I'm staying with Android: drag&drop,no questions asked.
Employer and union incentives need to align to some extent. The issue with a lot of public sector unions I see is there is no incentive for the union to be effective. Not like the employer will go bankrupt.

> The point of my original comment was literally that women bear some responsibility for reinforcing the harmful stereotypes of male culture

Unfortunately, that doesn't really jive with this:

> Men aren't puppets, they have agency, they are responsible (really, far more responsible)

Women have agency. Many women do bad things, including enforcing toxic gender norms. It probably makes as much sense to call that "toxic femininity" instead of "toxic masculinity" when women do it, but you do you. Neither phrase is useful, because they focus on putting blame on one gender or another when toxic gender norms are really a collaborative effort.
You can store the result of the parse in git if you want to.
My understanding is that the Airpods are not better than the high-end competition. There's plenty of $100-150 Bluetooth earbuds that have better sound quality, and a handful of sub-$100 ones that are just as good. You're paying for the name.

https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-airpods-review-wireles...

>The biggest downside? Their sound is just OK. AirPods produce a perfectly average sound that's clear in the mid-tones and is good for podcasts but doesn't pack much in the low end. And because of their open design, sound isolation is terrible. There's also no noise cancellation, so you'll be stuck hearing traffic or crowds around you. The Jabra Elite 65Ts produce much better sound at about the same price. Even budget alternatives like the $80 Anker Soundcore earbuds offer just-as-good sound for half the price.

I've read pretty much the same take from most reviewers I've looked at. It matches quality on cheaper models, and is outpaced by competitors in the same price range.
Semantic versioning doesn't make sense for user facing software. Maintaining API compatibility on the software -> user interface isn't really a problem/doesn't make sense compared to software -> software interfaces.
Is it financially beneficial to a company? Maybe not, unless as a means to incentivize employee retention and attract high performers.

Is it something that should happen in a conceptual/philosophical/ethical sense? Perhaps as corporations become more productive and profitable while requiring fewer workers, due to technological advances, automation, etc.- perhaps this should be discussed? Why should compensation structures be frozen in amber, while the methods of production improve by leaps and bounds?
I must respectfully disagree based on research conducted within the last 2 weeks. Everyone claims their IDE is the business, in fact all the closed source ones are all crap, poorly documented and only allow you to easily taget a subset of platforms from a subset of development environments. For example, out of the box MBed Studio doesn't support many lower and mid range chips in the STM range. If you want to buy a high end chip with a MAC, it might be a great option (look at their hardware gallery[0] for an idea of what they're clearly targeting). It's apples and oranges. AFAIK most pro's apparently still use Keil, which is Windows only and expensive.
