> Null should equal null like in every other programming language

Think of SQL's NULL like it's a NaN.
It's hard to say what is high or low anymore.

Personally most "wage workers" aren't in a great state in the US. Is it "normal" for workers to be able to barely save anything while getting into six figure student debt for a college degree? I would say no.

But saving $30k-$40k a year isn't going to cut it if you want a child or save for a downpayment.
I was pulling up to an intersection on a wet road and realized I was seeing reflections of oncoming cars underneath the parked cars. Additionally I was seeing oncoming cars through the windows of some of the parked cars.

I realized that no AI has any understanding of these things. Sure it knows not to pull out from other methods. But I knew it wasn't even safe to look.

Note - our roads are a bit tighter than most. You have to pull car lengths beyond the stop signs to know if it is safe to proceed.
I think that's what the radar is for.
And what CPUs these are...

More likely audio/video workflows where encoding/decoding within a FPGA could be really useful. Realtime effects is also an interesting opportunity (e.g. similar function to the DSP accelerators on Universal Audio equipment).

You are, doesn't mean it's correct. Look at it this way. It's been happening for a while, on multiple platforms, where other software isn't exhibiting the problem, applying Occam's razor suggests the issue lies with the software.

I accept your point of view, but the GP was suggesting this is another in a long list of bugs introduced into Catalina. Since, anecdotally, I have first hand experience of this affecting me on other platforms as well as previous macOS versions, logic and reason suggest that the problem was not in fact introduced in Catalina, but lies squarely at the foot of Mozilla. Not everything is fair and balanced. I believe, in this case, that Mozilla are solely at fault, not any of the OS vendors/distributors.

Apologies if this comes across as tetchy; I've been dealing with pettiness and unreasonableness all day. My intention was not to defend Apple (or anyone else) or to besmirch Mozilla. I was merely trying to be helpful by pointing out that this problem affects the same software in the same way on different platform.

Please read up on the performance review system at most tech companies because what you're saying simply isn't true.
I think 50 years is being overly pessimistic. Self-driving in temperate climates is probably pretty close (<10 years). Waymo has pilot programs currently underway in California and Arizona[1][2].

Outside of Chrome being the default browser on Android, I don't see what antitrust Google could be hit with. Their market dominance in almost all of their sectors seems to only exist due to either it easily integrating into other Google products or their product being better than the rest, and nearly every time there are other comparable players you can easily migrate to.
This really is the endgame in ZIRP. Removing the ability to store cash is the only way to effectively get rates into negative territory.
Chromium (and Edge) are using Blink, not Webkit. They have been developed separately since 2013.
The rule of law was strengthened in 1947, allowing the Crown to face tort proceedings; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Proceedings_Act_1947 .

But, as others have said, the Royal Mail plc. is not the Crown nor Monarch.
At the risk of sounding overly snarky, what exactly has google done to secure or gain, rather than piss away trust at every conceivable turn?

Maintain solid products? Google kills more products than they run.

Stewardship of customer information? They're the biggest advertiser and have had multiple scandals.

Good customer service? Not in this universe.

Clear rules? Ask anyone that's lost their entire google account, email included, for a BS accusation of click fraud.

I think I trust my phone company more than I trust Google.
This is a dumb question. How does tesla self driving algo decides which car was first at a stop sign. Does it store the time difference? How would it decide if other human driver decides to go before someone else.
>I can't believe they made $15bn off of YouTube ads. Who are they reaching with that crap?

searching on some SSO topic i had opened a tab with Okta too, and that opened floodgates - for the month after that i had to listen for those 5 seconds of Okta ads before each and every song on Youtube. I dare you to imagine how much it cost Okta (and thus produced profit for GOOG) given that we're talking about Identity Management in enterprise software and potential cost of the leads there.
>This seems like an odd classification or backwards. The mathematics existed, long before humans existed. Humans simply _discovered_ it when studying some of the disciplines mentioned above.

Nope. When you get into real analysis you see that this is not true. It's hard to even get the Real Numbers down.
A lot of interesting responses here. While I agree with being honest about it, one issue is that the resume might be overlooked because there is a gap and you never get a chance to explain it. I am basically having to solve the same problem currently so @jobgap if you'd like to discuss pm me.
It sounds like it "worked" from their financial standpoint, at least for a while. You don't have to compete if you buy up competitors. Remember when MS bought FoxPro? Customer choice and prices may be a different story.
I spent a few months one summer just reading and perfecting my gin and tonic recipe. Nobody gave a rat's patootie.
HTML clients & standards have stagnated badly because we know javascript and heavy-handed CSS can work around any problems—even if those solutions are almost always bad (usually: highly janky, at least).

Example: Table sorting. Hell, maybe table pagination, too.

This is part of why developing HTML-based UI still seems so weird and shitty compared to native, even with the aid of Javascript. Those native SDKs provide way more support for common, basic use cases. Even within the narrow scope of rich document format & display, HTML without Javascript is crippled (see again: super-basic and common table functionality). Plus you'll get a hell of a lot better performance letting C/C++/Rust handle those kinds of basics, rather than trying to re-create them in CSS and Javascript.

Another example: there's a clear, fairly common need for tiled dynamically-loading images, as in maps applications. That should be a tag, and... that's all. Just a tag. To get that whole thing. A couple properties to enable/disable things like zooming. Some sensible standard for how to request tiles by X/Y at a given total canvas size (so, just a convention for image URLs) so that just has to be implemented once per server-side language, and can easily be pre-generated and served from actual files. A way to drop other elements on the image at some X/Y value for pins or linking people's faces to wikipedia entries or whatever, kinda like old school imagemap elements. That's clearly useful even for document-centric usecases (aside from maps, consider, say, ultra-high-res images of painted church ceilings). The browser and HTML should include that.

Search. Complete- or hint-as-you-type search fields should be a built-in element, with results from local or remote (some convention for the URL) markup-based sources.

There's a ton of stuff like that which, in 2020, really ought not require Javascript. Lots of which are still basically rich-document UI elements that've been in demand for 15-25 years at this point, with the holes filled a thousand times over at great cost in person-hours by slow, janky, battery-eating JS and CSS. And that's not even considering overhauling HTML to better suit use in "applications", which could also be done and arguably should be done, since we've pretty much lost the battle to keep that from happening.

I'd love more of the Web to be Javascript-light or -free, but modern HTML standards & clients aren't really up to the task. Mostly because (I think) Javascript has freed them from having to worry about it. "Table sorting by column? Well yes of course everyone wants that basically everywhere all the time, but let Javascript handle it".
to compare Amazon AWS revenue for 2019 is $40bn
This. I expect this to be the near term outcome of a lot of autonomous driving projects, which is one of the reasons that despite my scepticism about the idea we're close to abandoning the steering wheel I still think the research itself is inherently worthwhile when conducted safely.
It's even worse to be raised under a philosophy that leads you to believe you are living a good life just because you are following good rules that lead to bad outcomes. It's a super selfish approach to living because it conveniently lets you discard consequences.
Isn’t there already a mounting amount of statistics of accidents of self driving cars vs manual ones and the difference is night and day that the self driving ones are statistically safer?
@chinmays awesome can you join our discord? Let's discuss there we just launched today!! https://discord.gg/9r9wUrq
Real estate prices in places like SF or LA have plateaued a bit for a few years now, so yes while you're increasing your equity in your home it's not clear anymore where housing prices are headed at this point.
Anyone know Azure run rate ?
too bad they dont show you the 360deg view like the car hopefully sees
Hyperloop is supposed to be significantly cheaper to build and operate due to reduced diameter, reduced impact on environment from noise (really fast maglev and high speed rail can be an acoustics problem, particularly near tunnel orifices), and increased efficiency particularly at the high end (energy consumption per kilometer at high speeds is proportional to speed squared, and as you approach transonic speeds, it gets worse, so pumping almost all the air out can help dramatically... neglecting air friction, and depending on the exact technology, maglev itself is can actually be MORE efficient per ton-mile at high speeds than low).

Hyperloop's infrastructure cost is hopefully being solved by The Boring Company (although if they make more than incremental progress in tunneling efficiency, all sorts of tunnel projects in the US--which has particularly bad tunnel infrastructure costs--should improve). Also, if Hyperloop succeeds, it might help loosen the political restraints.

Personally, I think The Boring Company is more likely to be successful than Hyperloop itself. There's a lot of really hairy engineering required for super high speeds. BUT the Hyperloop student competition's 10km track could push the state of the art in rail speed, and that may have interesting consequences.
Is Google Cloud's revenue inclusive of G Suite?!
When talking about computation being a power drain, one could imagine a scenario where certain computations that can deal with the latency of starlink internet could be offloaded by default to the cloud. When a network failure is detected or results take too long to come in, the on-board computer could still take over the same computations, resulting in more power drain for a short moment.

I'm pretty sure that they "fixed" the dancing cars problem by applying a low pass filter to the data before sending it to the visualization, just so people would stop complaining about it. I think there's still a lot of jitter in the underlying data.
The chips themselves will probably outlast their users or at least their own useful lives quite comfortably at 100°C. If sat on a desk, not in something mobile.

Heat cycling the motherboards will definitely shorten their effective lifetime significantly. There's no reason not to have proper cooling.

Having said that, modern Thinkpads are not great in this regard either.
I'm really surprised IBM doesn't offer a cloud product based on LinuxONE machines. These are ridiculously fast machines that are probably cheaper to build and run that the equivalent capacity in OCP x86 "boxes". And only IBM can have them.
Do you know if, when a vehicle disappears, the system assumes the vehicle continues moving as it was when last spotted?
I heard part of the Chromium choice was that Edge developers felt they were already spending too much time in the Chromium codebase to support Windows initiatives even before the decision was made. For instance, Microsoft wanted to make sure all the browsers to support ARM64 on Windows natively, Mozilla did the work themselves (and it was basically already in their build farm when Microsoft asked), and Google asked Microsoft to PR it (which they did).
Cars don't tend to jump sideways all of a sudden (and if they do, then usually by outside force, which tends to be hard to avoid). There's plenty of frames to detect that (note that the view shown is not the only camera, otherwise making a turn safely would be fairly impossible).

> There's no evidence that computers are any better at driving than humans

That's a vacuous statement. Evidence would be a deployed self-driving fleet. At which point it would be mission accomplished and we wouldn't be discussing this.

Now if you want theoretical considerations instead of evidence, then consider the lower reaction times of machines.
Most people have 0 experience with it, and 0 experiences seeing it (at least that they are aware of).

If you gave a random sample Tesla-level autopilot with their current car and walked them through how to use if, I'd guess that at least 75% would want to use it regularly.

Familiarity and basic understanding work wonders on shifting the human mind.
DS9 was created without Roddenberry's involvement. And to your point, it severely clashed with his original vision, particularly the inherent non-exploration built into the setting and the dark interpersonal conflicts. But it's arguably still very good – even if you dismiss the later seasons as being too serial and warfare-oriented.

"Picard" imho is an across-the-board downgrade, carried only by the sentiments the fanbase has for Capt. Picard.
Gates wrote BASIC, in an age where people scrambled to solder their own boards and connect circuitboards. Later Microsoft offered Visual Basic, including ability to design your own forms and tie-in with code and data sources.

In hindsight, we know what really worked was Windows and Office. It is a kind of luck to be so ahead of the curve, you can sort of coast, although it's a lot of hard work, somehow the right people falls in your lap as well as predatory opportunities (clone, buy and steal your competition).

While hobbyists and IBM scrambled, someone invested into the budding IBM PC-clone platform. This is business acumen fueled by superior technological vision and clarity (though at the same time blind).

Jobs had his own niche, catering more for end-UX and designers also ruthlessly, ironically.
Parabolic dish from hotel room directly to sound sensor will DOS the intersection. And be difficult to detect.
I would think so.

The web is kind of the lingua-franca of the public facing world, so it is no surprise that that is where most of the job ad's are.

However I think that there is a growing need for experienced programmers who are also well-versed in one or more problem-domain areas, like law in your case.

The problem here is that often employers are not aware they need you, so it takes more of an proactive approach to find them. Network, get to know their challenges, show them how you could help.
Oh gaps are usually pretty interesting. I once dug into a big gap (3 years) and went down quite a rabbit-hole with a candidate that was in every other respect excellent.

But the gap: Let's just say it was the worst thing you can imagine.

I have worked as a software developer/lead for around a decade (mostly around Apple Developer Ecosystem). I am looking for Technical Manager or Evangelist role, where I can use my technology and communication skills to help craft and further amazing products crafted keeping end user experience and good quality in mind. I am open to discuss roles matching the description too.
Only when things are bad. Normally it’s to help provide advice and perspective.

Simply count bytes as they are read. In the exception handler check to see if the count matches the expected value. Clean.
I sure consider anything only working in one browser to be dead.

Now that might change as we soon will only have one browser.
Dancing isn’t completely gone - especially with large trucks.
I write a lot of engineering and test software that interacts with hardware. Generally it communicates over serial or UDP. I package the software as an executable that gets installed on lab PCs.

There is a lot of configuration management. An operator has to use the correct build of software, and needs to configure the software with the appropriate settings. After some testing he needs to save off the data to the appropriate places for analysis and archival.

It seems to me that this type of application would be appropriate to implement as a web application. This would help me manage deployments better and would automate the CM/data flows.

I have been casually monitoring the Web Serial, Web USB, and Web Socket APIs, since they would enable me to implement the low-level communications I need. The opposition to these standards bums me out, but I keep hoping that the security concerns can be resolved and that attitudes will change.
Dropbox might be secure but I wouldn’t say they are privacy focused. There are other offerings like Tresorit or Spideroak that offer end to end encryption of files, that’s more something that I’d call privacy focused.
Tbf Verizon was also Bell Atlantic (with GTE), and participation from Vodafone in the wireless side.
Your point stands moreso.
I am quite familiar with the performance review process at top tech companies given that I work at one. The difficulty in getting fired (especially without advanced notice) is often laughed about. The only thing harder than getting into these companies is getting fired from them.
I am in full agreement with you.

Also, it seems like the amount of drivers on their phones, texting and driving or what have you, is at an all time high today. I work in an urban area and the amount of times I've missed a light because someone is on their phone stopped in the lane with a green has begun to give me legitimate road rage that I have never experienced in my life until now in my late 30's. I would trust the car more than the average person at this point.
Self driving cars killed one pedestrian in 10 million miles driven, about an order of magnitude worse than humans
The USA's history on this hasn't been stellar. The breakup of AT&T is testament to that.
If done right it may even work against humans.
How would you compare both? Computers can process millions of objects and things all at the same time, with a error margin than any human being would love to have.
That's not unusual for computer vision (or any kind of sensor really), that kind of data is normally filtered and smoothed after that, and merged with previous frames or other sensors.

What would be worrying is the model misclassifying an object, not detecting it at all, or having the bounding box consistently off.
That text protocol is pretty much what HTTP looked like originally[1]. If you just support an optional "GET " before the document path, you'll essentially have an implementation of HTTP 0.9.
