Not at all. The 'issue' could be a technical issue, a cultural issue, a corporate issue, a documentation issue, a legislative issue, a personal issue.

If you stop diagnosing when you find a faulty part, you aren't diving deep enough. Ask why some more -- what allowed us to even ship a faulty part in the first place? The sensors in the plane are a faulty technical design, but what systemic issues enabled that faulty design to be shipped at all? Those are the root cause issues.
That would be in the ballpark of $1000 per resident. Possible?

So this is what stage 2 of privacy erosion looks like. Stage 1 was of course traffic/red light cameras. How they spun installing cameras and microphones (!) with a data sharing agreement as "an energy efficiency upgrade for street lights" is beyond me.

The trouble is that the royalty adds to the risk. That, and you can't change suppliers if they start playing with you.

Independent restaurants, if they hit their market, run into the same problem with landlords, who want to take the profit from exorbitant rents after the the lease expires.
If you want SpaceX produced footage to be public domain, ask NASA to put it into the contract. Pretty simple.
I would second this. If you've never done pure functional programming before I would hesitate to recommend Idris as your first foray simply because of ergonomic issues with the tooling. Regardless of whether you think Idris the language is suitable for a beginner, it's not a fun experience to deal with the landscape of abandoned libraries, editor integration issues, compiler bugs, etc. if you are already struggling to understand some of the basic principles behind the language.

The only exception is if you use it purely as a companion to the Type-Driven Development book. As long as you don't stray too far from the book you generally won't run into any of these other issues and it's more plausible to think of it as a first foray into pure functional programming.
We’re all in suspense about what cannot go down the garbage disposal :)
I would be more concerned about how Law Enforcement is using the data.

I am also baffled by people not being concerned about Law Enforcement Surveillance but they are always up in arms about "corporations" spying on them.

Last time I checked it was only law enforcement that has the power, authority, and legal cover to kill me, or put me in a metal cage.

I suppose they believe "I have done nothing wrong so i have nothing to fear" but that has been proven time and time again to be a fallacy of epic proportions

Why would one need a UV if there's also going to me actual filters after that? (honest question) Only thing I can think of is to prevent contamination of the filters.

Yeah I agree. But what I was saying is that implementing the level editor / scripting engine is a class of application where pure FP tends to shine.

Viper variants: Unusual F-16s
The used car market is limited by the new car market so the bottom 70% can’t get the cheapest used car as there is not enough of them. Frankly there are a lot of SUV’s etc on the road. Still let’s use a 10 year old Civic that’s kept for 10 years as a optimistic estimate. A 90k miles 2010 Honda Civic runs ~7,000$ over 10 years that’s 60$ a month excluding sales taxes, interest ect.

It get’s 26/34 mpg new which tends to be reduced over time, but let’s be optimistic and call it 30. At 2.70$/gallon and an average 13,500 miles per year driven that’s 100$ a month for gas.

Insurance is tricky as it varies by state, age, and driving record, but the average is clearly above the lowest possible price. Further, if you lack full coverage on average you add a new car or repair costs. I am going to call it 80$ a month though it can be a lot higher than that if you have say a DUI, but also a little lower.

Looking here: https://www.edmunds.com/honda/civic/2015/cost-to-own/ a 10 year old Civic is running ~180$ a month in repair and maintained costs with a general upward trend. But let’s stick with 180$ out to year 20.

Now that’s ~420$/month excluding interest (paid or opportunity cost), parking, taxes, tolls, tickets, etc. It’s clearly possible to pay less by driving less or doing your own repairs, but it’s also really common to pay far more.
Yeah, makes sense. Dynamic breadth first search has been a thing for a while; it seems like they're just introducing it with a new name. The automatic part seems cool though!

F5Bot, from memory, only does a few services correct? You won't get general web data.

Google Alerts, I have it and it doesn't pick up a lot of social data. For instance, I have never seen Reddit data come across on my Google alerts for terms I monitored with it. Could be me, but if Google Alerts did everything Brand24 or Mention or BrandMentions did, I would have not needed to code this.

So you would need to combine Google Alerts and F5Bot and maybe another tool to get more data.

I also don't remember things like Sentiment Analysis ( coming soon ) and other features available on Google Alerts and F5Bot.

Syften, at the time I was building and launching, only covered a few select communities and not the whole web. Maybe things have changed lately since we launched, but they were only at the time, select communities which seemed focused on Dev or tech discussions.

We do our round-trip about every 3-4 hours at the moment while testing things out. Our plan is to reduce that time from 3-4 hours to within 1 minute for sites like Reddit.

We are just ironing things out and evaluating demand, then tweaking things like that later on to much faster times.
I recall those lessons for script-kiddies “Crack [software name here] with SoftICE” in early 2000s.
It’s probably not sarcasm. In many places this sentiment is prevalent. Introduce „freedom” and „democracy” to create „free market” and seed „capitalism”.
> will close after its six-month lease expires

That's certainly not immediately. Also not by decision of CFA. The local landlord folded and decided not to renew the lease, so after the initial 6 months, that CFA location would have to close.
If you `new` something, you must `delete` it exactly once.

The constructor and destructor of a class are ideal for this because they are paired like this. But if your class does (memory) resource management like this, it should only do resource management, else it would violate the single responsibility principle.

This naturally leads to classes that are solely about resource management, where you only express the intended ownership (e.g. unique or shared) and this dedicated class ensures every `new` is matched with a `delete`. Those of course exist in the standard library (since C++11): `std::unique_ptr` and `std::shared_ptr`.

Similar story for arrays: Use `std::vector` if you need a dynamically sized array. It will do all the bookkeeping and memory management you'd have to do with `new T[N]` but it does it right.

It's not about avoiding heap allocation, despite the association that several people are bringing up here. It's about "express and abstract the resource management strategy instead of reimplementing it everywhere and obscuring it to readers".
Ahh, Zachary Vorhies. I remember your bizarre internal posts literally claiming that Obama's birth certificate was fake. I wasn't surprised at all when you leaked a pile of confidential information to a far right conspiracy theorist group (Project Veritas), and were subsequently fired.

I wouldn't trust a single word that comes out of this guy's mouth.
Those early flash drives were so damn tiny. I still have a 128MB drive from when that was pretty impressive.

Those rewritable CDRs never worked that well. The price of regular CDR blanks dropped so hard that it was easier to burn a new disc each time.
While Manufacturing in the US is down, no doubt. We are still the 2nd largest manufacturer.

I do hope we return to being #1, though that becomes less likely every day.
A lot of it is because I have been involved in prior projects that involve scraping for the past decade. I have built up a lot of code, skill, API access, libraries, and thoughts on crawling and scraping different websites.

Also, this won't stay almost $7 forever. But I wanted to test the waters and see demand. I also don't think it will go much higher either so "cheap" will be relative to each person.

I guess the problem I have with this is that in other toolsets, I can achieve exactly the result I want without compromising for the tool, so Rails and similar frameworks feel restrictive in this way.
The Network Revolution – confessions of a computer scientist (1982)¹ is the title which immediately springs to mind. I never see anyone else mention this book, but I liked it. One of the many interesting things it contains is an anonymized telling of what happened with Doug Engelbart and why, even after giving the dazzling “The Mother of All Demos”², the SRI company did not succeed in its grand plan for the future of computing.

It also talks a lot about very early Internet history, and gives the history of many things which I have not seen others reference, like Lee Felsenstein and Community Memory.

I suspect the book might not be well-known because its author, Jacques Vallée, it mostly known for being a ufologist. I did not know this until after I read the book, though, and the book itself does not contain any references to UFOs. I can wholeheartedly recommend the book, and it’s free to read online!¹

Later books in the same vein like Hackers and Dealers of Lightning are more well-known and seem to be appreciated by many, but this book seems to have been overlooked by most people.

Part of that is also based in reality - SpaceX follows a more Soviet-style, hardware-rich approach than Boeing or ULA, where tests (including failed ones) are much more frequent. In terms of PR, this has given them a record of public failures followed by later success, so the public is more primed to give them the benefit of the doubt when something goes wrong. (Even if the thing that goes wrong isn't actually part of a test.)
That grinding up vegetables leads to clogged sewer lines. Trashcan. Or yard waste please.
I don't think there's any reason to think google was responsible for the semantic web not taking off. People just didn't care that much. It may have been a generally useful idea, but it didn't solve anyone's problem directly enough to matter.
> For them, blackmailing Germany and other wealth nations in Europe by threatening to close the tap has no political story to it at all, just plainly a way to extort some extra bucks, and show the world how big their balls are.

Not sure how this benefits Russia. Each country has stategic reserves. Gas / oil is the only thing Russia can sell to the Western Europe in order to finance their own system. Russians have to sell it. Blackmailing countries is not in their business.
One of the important points made in the book was that one should always be thinking of a range of values, not a single value. This ensures whatever model you use will capture the uncertainty that is inherent in any measurement.
Interesting some decades ago I think McDonald's did a study that led to something called the 4 minute McDonald's universe which was a distance they found people would go for spur of the moment purchasing. Obviously impractical, but this idea of optimizing for total revenue has been around for a bit I think.

Look at New Zealand - they lack agricultural subsidies and tax fuel. Assuming monoculture is because of subsidizes isn't based on reality.

Externalities are a /way/ larger issue than just monoculture or even modern pesticides and fertilizer though.

I came to this thread to post about BJJ, found that someone already did!

Jiu-jitsu's actually not even my preferred martial art; however, for someone looking to improve themselves I think its about the best there is for a couple of reasons:

- Since it's grappling, you can spar from pretty much day one with minimal chance of injury (compare this with something like boxing where sparring means getting punched in the face). In addition to the martial advantages, sparring is a great way to build confidence.

- Jiu-jitsu is very learnable. Virtually everyone who trains it seriously for a few years becomes a formidable fighter.

- You tend to meet people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. Also, I've found BJJ practitioners to be very welcoming.

- Since competition tends to be an important part of BJJ, there is sort of a built in assumption that everyone is there to help each other become a badass. Even if competition doesn't really interest you, I think that sort of environment translates to people helping you become a more confident person.

- There is a lot to learn and people are always innovating.

- Since many other martial arts do not practice ground fighting, if you eventually decide that some other style of martial art is the one that's right for you, having trained BJJ will always be an asset.

Note: I mention becoming a good fighter or a "badass" because those terms are easy to understand. I don't mean to suggest that you should become some sort of macho, aggressive jerk. From what I've observed, even if someone starts training the martial arts because "they have something to prove" as they get more experienced it stops being about proving how tough they are.
China reports 139 new cases of pneumonia as coronavirus spreads to new regions
That almost seems like a slippery slope. I mean, your site’s content could now just end up sitting on some CDN server or proxy alongside something nefarious, without IPFS and you’d have no idea.

I’d have the same objection if the seeder was voluntarily choosing what to seed for that express purpose, but I don’t know that it should apply if the seeding is just an automatic part of how the network operates underneath.

I believe I was asking why we hadn't replaced a janky part. I was told the price of the part and expressed incredulity.

You need to cheat. Basically like react, the part that does mutation needs to be a framework segregated from most of the actual logic.
Except you get a cut of the profits - how many "managers" get that - seriously?
It is confirmed that it was due to the aerodynamic load. Without a nosecone, the craft decelerates hard. The fuel sloshes towards the front of the tanks, ruptures them, then explodes. It all happens very fast.
I'm the OP. Good question. I had this come up with many people and I wrote a longer response[1]. The short of it is, for small (2-5 person projects) this is a valuable skill to have. And a project manager would probably add _more_ work on top of it.

If you think of a small team, let's say a tech startup with 5 people. How many of them are project managers versus developers? And would you rather a project manager with little context on your work "nag" you multiple times a day, or would you rather have control how you and the team do minimum effort project management? These are exactly the type of teams a typical project is run by. Also, most of the engineers are product-minded engineers[2].

In highly autonomous tech companies I see a small ratio of project managers - likely 1:50-1:30 with engineers. In companies where devs have little autonomy, this ratio goes up. I know a large, well-known consumer bank, where there are almost as many project managers, scrum masters, agile coaches and the managers of these people, as there are developers. Developers are not allowed to make any decisions - that's why all these other people are there! In all fairness, this company is spending loads of money with a consultancy to figure out how they can speed up software delivery, which is... slow. Who thought?

The two Wendy's near us are both pretty awful. I'm sure it depends on the owners. But yeah, we don't go there anymore.

Also the Arby's--kids got sick 2x at the local Arby's.

We don't even eat a lot of fast food, just occasionally when we need to get out of the house and go someplace nearby in the winter.
I think management is too eager to hire a new role to fix a specific problem. E.g. if your product has bugs, you dont hire new people just to fix bugs. You should get your existing developers to fix bugs. Dedicated bug fixers won't have enough familiarity with the code or organizational clout to really be effective. QA teams run into this all the time.

Similarly, not every project should have a dedicated project manager. They won't be familiar with the problems and they don't hold power in the organization. They might end up being little more than a clerical assistant to the tech lead or whoever actually has familiarity and power.

Maybe I just haven't worked on the right projects.

> The city attorney that approved the GE contract

I do not understand making the city attorney the scapegoat. Here, this GE contract was entered into by the city because of an ordinance passed by the city council and signed into law by the mayor. The attorney's job in "approving" the contract is probably limited to reviewing it for form and making sure that its provisions are aligned with the city's interests and goals. The people to blame here are the city council and the mayor.
Reading this kind of social history always makes me wonder what people in even just 100 or 200 years will think about our culture.

Also true of Margaret Sanger:

- She participated in gatherings of the KKK

- Her corporate board of directors included open racists

- She was a big proponent of eugenics

- One of her most ambitious birth control projects was focused entirely on African Americans. It was called 'The Negro Project'.

Draw your own conclusions about her character. All of the above are factual.

yeah, esoteric is bad, whether Rails or others. But that's just my impression with Rails, and I'm much more comfortable using other less magical libraries. I guess Ruby is just too good at making abstractions, and I tend to believe that 'making and using abstractions feel great and productive, unless it's made by others'
Done deal. I'll put in a little sweat for you when it's available.
I was at a company that had no style guide or coding standards to speak of. If I raised the issue that we really should have a style guide I would be told, "I don't like other people telling me how to code." Code reviews boiled down to, "just do it my way because I said so, trust me."

I ultimately quit.
Because you can’t scale automation for large farms. Ag has too many variables ..soil, weather, pests etc. you can have different environments and zones in the same farm.

Creating new jobs is important in ‘new Ag’ because it would be increasingly technical and need STEM expertise. Right now..basically it’s running because we can get poor people desperate enough to work on minimum wage.

How to find out employee morale?

Well, you need to hire some statistical experts, who model everything and than give you an estimate and if they got the callibration right, the result might be even close to reality.

Definitely easier than the other solution. Like talk to your employees once in a while and have a culture where they are not afraid to speak up if something is bothering them.

Ah no, too complicated. Back to math. That works better when dealing with those irrational emotional humans.
