That sounds really great! I dream of working in such a place. If my next (or any, really) startup venture is successful, I will strive to create a similar space (but also I strongly believe in remote working as an option, no reason to lock yourself out of amazingly talented people just because they’re out of you geographical proximity)
The real kicker is that before Taleb brought it to light, Tesla support was telling people who accidentally purchased the Autopilot feature that "sorry, we can't undo the purchase/the feature is added, and it's permanent".
I’m afraid I don’t follow. What do you mean by “freebsd’s linux implementation”?
I find grammar cheatsheets quite useful, for example:

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/0c/b6/81/0cb681ce3173c647a39b12db8...

Anything that explains grammatical rules and gives me a "template" of sorts is great because it doesn't give me the answer straight away but it engages my brain to adapt the word I want to the given rule. Topics like tenses, conjugation, pronouns are what I like having cheatsheets for.
For those interested this reaction is called a cytokine storm.

He lost the appeal. From Wikipedia:

> In March 2014, a United States district court judge ruled that the Ecuadorian plaintiff's lead US attorney, Steven Donziger, had used "corrupt means," including payment of almost US$300,000 in bribes, to obtain the 2011 court verdict in Ecuador. The judge did not rule on the underlying issue of environmental damages. While the US ruling does not affect the decision of the court in Ecuador, it has blocked efforts to collect damages from Chevron in US courts.[55][56] Donziger and the two Ecuadorian defendants appealed, and on August 8, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment against them in all respects.

When he turned over the documents, it revealed "that the 2009 environmental report signed by a court-appointed expert had largely been written by an environmental consultancy company hired by the plaintiffs."

I've been using this project for quite some time now, it speed up my development cycle with Lua or even C++ projects a lot. Typically I have a terminal and an editor always showing on my screen then whenever I do a change in the source code I can instantly see the result. I wanted to share as it may be useful and save time for others.

The project is inspired on nodemon. Before this I was using nodemon, however decided to make my own version due to some personal annoyances with nodemon that I would encounter in daily basis and to get rid of nodejs bloat in my setup.

I'm not aware of any provisions in these treaties that permit killing.
Agreed that the naive method will lead to underestimation of the CFR. Though I'm not sure if it's really as high as estimated here. Looking at the numbers reported from provinces in China other than Hubei (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_2019%E2%80%932...), as of 5 Feb 2020 there have been 14 reported deaths but 520 reported recoveries. This puts the CFR at 14/534 = 2.6%.

I can only guess why the CFR in Hubei seems to be so much larger. My guess is that the medical system in Hubei is simply overwhelmed by the number of patients, and that only severe cases get treated in hospital and diagnosed. Patients with mild symptoms don't get diagnosed and the majority of them recover.

Still, caution is advised. Everybody take care and be safe!
Then again, that is what might lead to the boilerplate. I've been out of Angular for a while, but was kind of following along around the release of v2, where they went through about four routers, I think. GP mentions mapping routes to the file system, but then how are you going to accommodate a route pointing to a modal inside another route, identified by its hash? By having one blessed implementation, they also feel forced to support every potential use case.
The idea that Europe is so bad at digital services that a foreign company decided this move made sense is hilarious and sad at the same time. Not surprising with how well they handle change though, just look at the French and automated checkout machines.

Looks interesting but you should really ad a European language. I'm looking forward to learn Japanese and Mandarin once but don't feel like doing it right now and I probably am not alone. The LibreLingo author has made quite a wise decision to choose Spanish for the example language - it's the easiest and makes a lot sense for everybody to learn (given how many countries use it).
You’re right they’ll likely keep android, chrome and YouTube.

I think they’ll give up on the cloud. Google has already given a succeed or close deadline on this.

Crossover 19: running 32 bit code within a 64 bit process on macOS
How Technology Strengthens Autocracy
Asynchronous I/O is only useful if you have something else you can be doing while you wait for file-data to arrive. For example, if you can do calculations on the part of the file you've already read while you wait for the rest to arrive, or if you can process data for one client while data from a different client is in-flight. Databases are a good example - usually they're handling queries for multiple clients at once, and even within a query they can be reading from multiple places simultaneously (like the individual tables involved in a JOIN).

If your program needs to read in an entire JSON blob (for example) before it can do anything, or if it only does light processing on each individual part (like adding up a column of a CSV file) then async I/O probably isn't going to help.

Hey: An upcoming email service by the people behind Basecamp
Think about it from the lawyer's point of view. If the story is article is accurate then someone has a vendetta against him. Someone has already spent a lot of money on an Ecuadorian judge to fabricate evidence against him. Now they want his phone and computer. Who knows what they could 'find' on them.

Even if the truth is more murky than presented in this article. He may have needed to contact shady people as part of his work and this could clearly be used to smear him.

Of course, the article could be a gross misrepresentation of the truth but a quick google search reveals that the feud between Chevron and Donziger has been widely reported and lasted more than 20 years. The fact that he is unwilling to hand over his phone is just the latest salvo in a long battle.
> the end-user has no real control over

End user has the same control as over any feature of the car.

If you buy Tesla and then buy FSD and then sell that car to someone else, FSD stays with the car. It would be absurd if it worked any other way.

In this case, the car was sold back to Tesla, a dealer bought it from Tesla and sold it to someone. Tesla determined that the car was configured with FSD even though the user never paid for it.

Now it's a he said / she said situation.

The user got screwed because he lost FSD that he thought he had.

The question is: was he screwed by the dealer (who mis-represented availability of FSD) or was he screwed by Tesla (who mis-represented availability of FSD to the dealer). Or maybe the dealer misunderstood.

Either way, this should be straightforward to resolve.

The buyer should be made whole by the dealer, because dealer sold the car.

The dealer should be made whole by Tesla (if Tesla indeed misrepresented the car).

All parties have relevant documents so it should be clear who's responsible for what.
If you equate constructive feedback with a dressing down, I can only feel sad for you.

"We noticed you used an unsorted list, where a dictionary/map would've been a natural fit. Based on this we don't feel confident that you have the mastery of algorithms that we require for this job. We suggest you take time to brush up on your algorithms by reading the first volume of The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth or the first three chapters of Algoritms by Robert Sedgewick. We believe this will also help you in your future career at other companies. We wish you good luck in you job search."

If someone gets mad by that, that says a lot about their character and how much you never want to have them in your team. Also other people will either know their character and discount their opinion or will not, which means they will self-select themselves out of your candidate pool, which I see as a positive.

Combinatris: Tetris with SKI Combinators
As a music enthusiast and collector myself I'm familiar with that feeling as well as the disappointing state of recommendation engines.

However I think it's easy to fall into a habit/routine of constantly looking for and acquiring new (to me) releases when it actually may be a good idea to take a step back, rediscover the collection you already have and go back to passively stumbling upon hidden gems rather than actively seeking them out in a Discogs dive with a few dozen open tabs.

Radio, like NTS[0] as well as the mixes of other curators/DJs have indeed been a great source of inspiration for a more relaxed approach to discovery.

They don't. According to Tesla that feature was enabled by mistake and never paid for.

Whether you believe Tesla, is another matter but it's not like they remove features people paid for.

There is no upper limit on the amount you can pay.
I haven't done much with Angular 2+ (I use Vue now), but in my Angular 1 days, I've definitely seen a lot of Angular apps that were basically put together like a jQuery app. Massive controllers, lots of dom manipulation and logic in the controllers. My approach at the time was that controllers should be as small and simple as possible, with most business logic, data models, communication, etc extracted to services. The controller should just connect the various parts, nothing more. But when you're used to unstructured jQuery, the controller is an obvious place to just put everything.
> Also if you are not familiar with RxJS before learning Angular then that is a second learning curve that you need to know too and it is a challenge.

You are not the only one mentioning this here. Do you believe it's wise to start with learning RxJS before you even approach Angular if you are a VanillaJS/JQuery "dinosaur" looking forward to learn Angular?
I have respect for the software developers who write code where human lives are at risk. I don't think I would sleep well if a bug of mine could create a catastrophic event like that. If I fuckup completely, the only thing lost is money.
But wouldn't those artificial ceilings also prevent immigration applicants from having the "paperwork" to show their capability which is precisely what the American immigration bureaucracy will look at? It's not like they're letting immigrants in based on an IQ test, they're letting people in because they have elite degrees, are admitted to American universities, or have American job offers. All of those are indicators of status already achieved rather than potential status which has been supressed by local conditions in their country of origin.

In other words, immigrants coming in through the highly qualified routes are already high status in their countries of origin. Indians coming to the US on H1Bs for instance are overwhelmingly from high caste social groups and educated at the best Indian universities.

> No engineer has ever sued a company because of constructive post-interview feedback. So why don’t employers do it?

Because there's only risk and zero benefit in it for the employer.

Note: the risk isn't mythical 'lawsuits', the risk is in bad PR that disgruntled rejected candidates generate. Even if one in 10 get offended and start spreading shit-talk on the Internet, that 10% is still too much.

Without a post-interview explanation, there is no ammunition for internet discussion.
An example of a place where stamp and coin sales provide a significant revenue stream is the Falkland Islands. Despite being tiny, there's a post office there that sells commemorative stamps and coins[0]. It does brisk business every time a cruise ship pulls in to town, with very few of those stamps or coins expected to be used for their supposed purpose: "The presentation of any collector coins for redemption is unlikely as the selling prices and precious metal values exceed face value"[1].

One small piece of feedback : My (UK) keyboard doesn't have accented characters on it, and I don't know how to type them (well, I do, but many/most users won't), so typing "leon" instead of "león" for Lion wouldn't let me continue as there was a spelling mistake. Ideally, have an on-screen keyboard for accented characters, or instructions on how to type them, or less ideally allow spelling mistakes on such characters.

The article is great but it fails to address another main issue with high-speed rail in many locations: Having to network with slower traffic.

I recently took a 9.5h train trip from Berlin to Switzerland, and although the train does travel at the top speed of the section at several locations, we never reached the top speed of the train set (280km/h), and lots of times we were travelling at under 100km/h for switching tracks or whatever else. I didn't log it, but I'd guess we spent less than 50% of the travel time over 200km/h.

That's where Japan's Shinkansen was so groundbreaking. Sure, they also used this opportunity to migrate from a smaller gauge, but the decision to build a new network from scratch that doesn't interact with other networks at all paid off tenfold over the decades as trains started getting faster and faster.
IMO 48fps was great in the Hobbit trilogy. Maybe not so much in the first one. But I wish directors would opt for higher frame rates if they have fast moving pans, especially in 3D. 3D in 24fps oftentimes looks choppy af.

By all means, keep indie and art house productions non-3D, 24fps and on celluloid. But for insane tripple a productions: higher frame rate pls.

Supposedly the Avatar sequels are gonna be in 48 or even 60. Maybe they‘ll act as a catalyst again, like the first one did for 3D.
This is really a great question.

Perhaps quantitative elements don't become hard norms in creative industries? Consider how much ad spend is burned in the first place without hard science to validate it.

That said the lack of norms in some other, more technical industries is surprising as well.
You could read "Conversation with God" by Neale Donald Walsch. This book had a profound disrupting effect, bringing up the best of me. Especially since this is not about religion or moral values. Cool fact: served as an inspirational base for The Matrix movie (first one mainly), and many other contemporary works. No source on that, I just know it.

If there are no security problems affecting your project, and you don't benefit from new features, there is no urge to update. And even then, it's a cost/benefit ratio.

Updating is a constraint, one you follow either because it solves a problem or avoid a pitfall, not a goal.

I migrated most of my stuff to Python 3 years ago, but for some of my clients, despite that 2.7 is not supported anymore, I advice to just download a copy of everything they need offline as a safety measure and keep the system running as-is forever.

Raw HTML + jQuery + Django 1.x + VPS still deliver fine. Just because I can do react + microservices does not mean it should be a default response.

There are servers running barely touched from one or two decades ago and they do their job perfectly.

So yes, some client side libs are going to be there for years and years. If the UI works, it's alright.

Software is not an end, it's a tool. Being passionate about it, it's easy to forget that, but we use software to help the real world, not the other way around.

Not saying of course you should never update nor use modern technology when appropriate: technical debt must be paid. But it's important to recognize when you need to do it, and when you just want a shiny toy or to look good.

This is a muddy situation where car was sold back to Tesla, dealer bought it from Tesla and sold to a third party.
