According to the GDPR even an IP address needs consent, and those are inherently transmitted when loading a third-party library regardless of cookies. Given that social media sharing isn’t a necessary function of the website, they should be asking for consent before loading the libraries, or just using a locally-hosted icon pointing to a sharing link, so that the target social network gets the data only when the button is actually clicked.

How To: Stay Productive While Working from Home
Pacemakers and remote senors are some of the big ones I know of. Though I don't know if modern pacemakers use them still.
It's not entirely a choice it's socially usually seen as weird for the guy to take more than the minimum or some small portion above that in many of these places. And even if it is a completely free choice (when do those ever exist?) the impact to women's careers extend beyond the setback from leaving the workforce for several months because they're still expected to do more of the labor of child rearing.

edit: To expand ultimately societies and governments need women to have kids, as of now they're the only ones who can after all so I think eliminating as many downsides as possible to that is something that should be done.
I like Bail On Friends better, in part because it partially increases the guilt factor back to where it should be.

"I'm gonna have to bail" vs "I'm gonna have to bail _on you_" feels different to me
Actually for most things in iOS, once the system dialog has been brought up, the operating system won't allow it to be brought up again. It won't stop the application in question from nagging you, but at least then even if you click "allow" on the application pop-up the system will still require you to go into the app permissions and explicitly allow it.

Ah, so "don't hire people who are planning to have multiple children at the peak of their potential economic productivity"?
What would you say the biggest difference is?

For me, the amount of magic in my code has been significantly reduced.
I kind of agree, and the overall thrust is right. But a degree is a useful shortcut in many cases. Or maybe I've just not worked with any non-degreed experts yet.

The trouble is that when those points aren't true they can be disasters. It's all very well saying "you don't need to know big O", but then you do need "good coding practices"... which are not fixed formulas, you need to know why you do them, and that comes back to stuff like Big O. Grit and learning likewise... but without a base of knowledge people can easily learn the wrong things and apply them with great diligence.

I have worked with a web developer who had on his desk a wee plaque saying that he had a non-university diploma and had failed both the software design courses in it. I don't think it was coincidence that he also regularly needed help to understand why his designs were not great, and often had to be pulled up before he committed horrors (he escaped once and produced a roughly O(N^40) treeview. Sounds ridiculous but the underlying antipattern was linear searches of the underlying array to produce every node in the tree. Just adding parent, first-child and next-sibling links to each node gave a dramatic improvement).

We also had a hard coded root credential issue because it was easier to do that than dig through the proper channels. Again "good coding practices" balance getting the job done vs not creating horrible security issues, but someone who doesn't understand why the security guidelines exist isn't capable of making good decisions consistently.

Having to do that level of constant supervision was tedious, because even though 80% of their work was fine you always have to check to make sure. Not being able to let that person supervise anyone was annoying. Pair programming is all very well, but when "finish coding this" can turn into tomorrows "let's review... ok, let's throw that away and start again"... it wears you out after a while.

It brings to mind "some people have ten years experience. Others have one years experience ten times".
Fwiw: Slack, Lift, AirBnb, Snapchat, Stripe are all 100% public cloud based (in so far as I know). So up through 8+ figures they are still doing it too.

removed Uber as its not 100% cloud (or at least wasn't in the past)
When I was overseeing a deployment of SAP into the family business (a really inane decision taken on a whim by my father and his trusted CFO) I was told, to my utmost horror but with utmost seriousness by an earnest SAP consultant, that “a company does not install SAP, a company conforms to SAP’s best practices”.

Years of consolidated competitive advantage went down the drain.

The minute your RDBMS' hot dataset doesn't fit into memory its going to shit itself. I've seen it happen anywhere from 90% CPU down to around 10%. Queries that were instant can start to take 50ms.

It can be an easy fix (buy more memory), but the first time it happens it can be pretty mysterious.
You'd want to orient the ship to hit it bow first probably, rather than on the side where it could roll or punch a hole in the ship. But what Captain in a serious storm is not going bow first through the waves anyway?

Hitting the swell bow first will not necessarily help you.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2KqofR05TE for a video of a boat actually hit by a rogue wave. They are riding the swell correctly - but the wave hits from the side.

Note that a swell and a current are known conditions that make rogue waves more likely. And it is not uncommon for rogue waves to be moving in a different direction than the swell.
Seems like they aren’t aware of the law or explicitly violating it and hoping to get away with it (which unfortunately isn’t a bad strategy considering Google and Facebook are still around).

The thing with the law (the GDPR in this case) is that it applies to everyone equally. It doesn’t matter whether your intentions are good, if the law says you can’t collect certain data without explicit user consent then you shouldn’t be doing it regardless of how good your intentions are.
> The native prompts don't allow for app specific explanatory text to be presented

Not true. iOS apps can specify explanatory text to be included in the native prompt. In fact they are required to do this, since at least two years ago.

The NSContactsUsageDescription string (in the Info.plist file) is the place to specify this.

I have to use their proprietary drivers and I beg to differ. Nvidia drivers are still crap, given all the pain you have to endure to get them running. Yes, nvidia has managed to sneak into the linux world through cuda but as far as ease of use, they are still nothing short of crap. Not to mention if you want to use anything other than ubuntu.
One problem I can see is this: If I was the one who made the plan in the first place, I could hit the "Bail" button just to see whether my friend secretly wanted to bail and then I could call them up on it... This would result in things being more awkward than just having a frank conversation in the first place!
This certainly would break plenty of valid use cases for a feature like this. More likely they ought to have policy in their developer docs to scope reasonable uses of the full contact list and start rejecting updates for applications that violate the new rule.
If I feel like I can't ask my friend "are you really up for doing this?", then they aren't actually a friend...
I think you're right in that women's disadvantage decreases, but I don't think it vanishes entirely. As an example, consider the problems many women experience during pregnancy, which is likely to affect their performance at work.

It is both.

Ships used to be built to the largest waves that were conceivable. We underestimated the forces in a rogue wave by a factor of more than 5. Ships today are built stronger, we are careful about seas where rogue waves are more common, and insurance now knows to take rogue waves into account in their policies.

Better predictions as well would be good.

Yeah... when my family business installed SAP the auditors were delighted. But... here’s the thing: standardised ledgers that make a company easy to audit have no positive correlation with corporate effectiveness and competitive advantage. It’s great that your work is simplified, but frankly, it’s totally irrelevant. I’d rather my auditors had to hail their dreaded IT departments than having the whole firm rendered essentially paralysed by Satan’s Accounting Package.

I've started turning off analytics everywhere. I turn off reporting on Firefox, Atom, everywhere. No crash report. Nothing if I can untick the box.

Some stuff is going to get through, but it should just be because you missed it. I'm sorry FOSS people; everyone is collecting way too much and I don't want to give Mozilla my data either. No, not even crash reports.

Something to keep in mind if upgrading family members to linux: most people do not like to tinker with computers. The extent of the computer knowledge of most people is "I click thing and it does thing". You will have to guide them through everything, and you will have to make sure every application that they say that they need works.

Trump Acquitted of Two Impeachment Charges in Near Party-Line Vote
A lot of the more obscure settings are things you don't need to even know about 99% of the time, but it sure is nice to have them when you need them.

Just last week, I was helping with some performance tuning on an application that needs to match some set of criteria against tens of thousands of rules, and needs to do so in around 30ms under fairly constant load. Hitting our latency/throughput targets required a lot of tuning, especially around GC. Among other things, it was important to make sure most/all of a request could be handled in the TLAB.

I could definitely see something like this giving us a few more milliseconds per request, and I'm definitely going to try it out in a next round of performance work - always nice to have a bit of head room.
TFA doesn't go into these details, but we might assume that if they can shut it off then they can also turn it back on. If that's the case, leaving it inactive may be the best thing to do in case a celestial event makes Spitzer's observations more valuable in future. If amateurs were controlling it, they might leave it in an unrecoverable state.
Someone once noted that there were a whole series of various startup ideas and products that could be covered by "things 20 something engineers wish their mom would still do for them".

I feel like this one is "Mom I don't want to meet up with Sarah today, can you tell her mom that I have a doctor's appointment?"
That's only true if men actually take the leave, which in a large percentage of cases is not going to happen. The unspoken truth about leave is, you can forget about that promotion you were angling for if you take a couple of months of leave, for whatever reason. So men by and large won't take it, especially when they find themselves under pressure to earn more and provide. I did take my 6 weeks in the US though when we had our son 16 years ago, but only because he wouldn't sleep and the first few months were very rough, so career plans were put on hold.

Also, women will still leave the workplace in droves to care for newborns and the young. That's just what a lot of them prefer to do, and I think it's the right ordering of priorities, for both parents. There's really no way to properly rear young children if both parents have full-time jobs and actually try to advance their careers at the same time.

>On an unrelated note, its interesting to see the Riemann zeta function turn up here. Does anyone know why it cropped up here, in the critical temperature equation? The page on Bose-Einstein statistics[1] doesn't seem to include it at all.

A complete derivation is beyond me at the moment but if you look at the equation in the section on the non-interacting Bose Einstein's gas [2] you'll note that they provide an equation for the critical point, the right hand side of which is quite similar to the integral definition of the Riemann Zeta function [3]. This is the likely origin of the Riemann Zeta function.

Well, in Austria you can get up to three years paid leave and freely choose between parents, so not sure if the article is correct. Question is how much the payment is, we get less the longer we take it.
Alternatively you can also take a year (also with +2 months if both parents use it) and get 80% of your previous salary.

I agree, Intel sells everything they make, and it has been like that for years.

The difference is that AMD is starting to do the same, and it seems the process and architecture lets them make more chips than Intel.

And this forces Intel to lower prices on the more powerful chips, something that had not happened in about a decade.

Right now the winners are the customers, having such great chips at good prices.
It is surprising that the syntax is so different for a “dialect” of C, but apart from that --

If the semantics are very close to C, so you can do basically all the same stuff, but you also get guarantees that your code will absolutely never hit any undefined behavior, that’s great and tremendously useful. It absolutely could replace C in applications where C is still the most useful and practical language.

It would resolve a couple of major headaches in existing C code: security bugs caused by memory overflows (caused by using arrays or pointers in undefined ways); and highly optimizing compilers doing weird things to your code, by exploiting undefined edge cases.

If I know my code will definitely not hit any undefined behavior, that gives me a ton more confidence that it won’t have stupid buffer overflow bugs and I won’t get mysterious errors on certain platforms.
I never thought about that. Is it really just that? Then how come Docker is this huge innovation that conquered the world and nobody can live without it anymore?

This is less DevOps and more poor software engineering practices (code reviews, unit testing, paying off your technical debt through refactoring/removing old code, etc), although properly managing and instrumenting deploys might have stemmed the bleeding and kept losses manageable.

It's good though; poor decisions must have a cost. The only way to enforce good engineering practices that are human time intensive is for there to be a cost not to.
