It was a C# file for an API that wrapped thousands of reports with a function call for each report, I moved to a design which was a single function for all reports.

I think what had happened is somebody had designed the file and everybody else followed suit patching stuff on - the entire codebase for that app was well below average. they had front end devs who didn’t know any JavaScript. In 2016. I lasted 6 months before I nope.png’d the fuck out.

Nice story...if only it would match the evidence. The algorithm has detected the person 6 seconds before the crash, but as it didn't match any of the object classes conclusively, it took no action. You read that right: "there's something at 12 o'clock. Bike? Person? Unknown? Who cares, proceed through it!" If that's not a hard fail, IDK what would.
Yes, however it is pretty much identical to the non-NDA'ed ATECC508.

Also the ATECC608A library from Microchip is open source and you can gather all necessary info from there.

If the firmware/software on these devices isn't open sourced and can be remotely updated/flashed, then of course the manufacturer can access every bit of data the device handles.

It's important that we audit all telecom equipment carefully before deploying it, because they deal with lots of very sensitive data.
Whilst I have no doubt that computerised spelling checking is standardising spelling, this has been a trend going back centuries. As writing has becoming more widespread, spelling and grammar has become more fixed. Shakespeare signed his name about a dozen different ways and the spelling we all agree on today only became standardised about a hundred years ago. Essentially, I don’t buy the argument that there’s something special about the Internet, it’s just that as widespread communication becomes more ubiquitous, the variability in that medium reduces - be it languages, vocabulary, grammatical style (I’d be interested to know if anyone has done a study into accent homogenisation).

My gut feeling is that as a species we are reducing the total variability whilst accelerating the change along the increasingly standardised forms I.e. I don’t think a US-UK English split would occur today but we are adding new words faster than ever

It's difficult to say that because it was still transmitted to people more easily than Ebola. And the data and research show MERS isn't going away; bats maybe its natural reservoir. Pretending it doesn't exist or not doing anything about is playing Russian roulette with public health. If the US Army Corps of Engineers can eliminate malaria from the southern US, maybe a vaccine can be developed for the natural host and domesticated animals to prevent the risk to humans.
I'm from Romania and Apple Pay was introduced here as well.

Thanks for clarifying that overlooked detail.

I should have mentioned another lesson for junior developers: learn to understand the structure of your data and avoid making assumptions about formatting.
The one-time cost of learning a good abstraction is strictly less than the ongoing cost of understanding and then continually reimplementing it by hand. The purpose of a high-level language is to make programs more concise and clear; a language that doesn't do this may somehow become popular but that shouldn't be mistaken for successful.
This is broken thinking.

Authors are a 1 100th of a percent of the population. If we do create new ways for people whose entire life and minds are derivative of millennia of civilization to own facts observed in the world around them the primary funding for and beneficiary of such a change would be an even smaller class of people who collect much more of the sweat of the authors brow than the author even will. The proper response to this is voting any bums who vote for this out of office. If this doesn't work the next step is the guillotine.

> Google will force us to create a new format for information by removing the profitability from the existing one.

The fact that actual scarcity is giving way to plenty in no way suggests that we ought to fight to impose artificial scarcity for the dubious privilege of ensuring that leaches can keep profiting in order to keep a minority of the money filtering down to the people who do the actual work. Perhaps we ought to discover a way for everyone to profitably enjoy the greater bounty instead of glorifying working for a living.

> It’s not like they didn’t tell us they were doing this. Their mission statement was to ‘free the world’s information’. Small wonder they don’t understand privacy. In this case we’re talking about information that’s protected by IP rights. When you free something that belongs to someone it’s called stealing.

Our inherent emotional reaction to real scarcity based on the rivalrous nature of physical goods is a poor foundation to build a case for inventing new rights designed to divvy up the world for the benefit of the rich. I'm sick unto death of hearing proponents of new and inventive varieties of imaginary property describing circumvention of their imaginary rights "stealing". There are no words in keeping with the dignity of this site that I could use to aptly describe my feelings for the authors words. People like him are emphatically the enemies of the people.

Sometimes I have unproductive weeks. It can be hard to overcome the miasma by refactoring code or picking favourites.

I have found the easiest way to get out of the funk is to start making Todo lists of my life. Get the things out of the way that are bothering me or need to be done as a priority and then slowly chip away at it.

Productivity isn't something you can hack. There is a maximum that you can do without sacrificing the quality of your work, and your goal should be to maximize quality, not to plan your day out in five minute intervals, that's a great way to burn out.
There is a classic 60s/70s era rotary phone, vaguely similar to a princess phone, where the dialling mechanism is inside an extra-beefy handset. Not a lineman’s phone, but a regular consumer’s phone.

I believe every car manufacturer has a disclaimer that the autopilot can only be used as an assist. That the driver needs to keep his eyes on the road, and ready to intervene at any given time.

Were not at the self-driving level of kicking back the seat and watching netflix on your phone yet.

I doubt we will ever get there; there will always be edge cases which are difficult for a computer to grasp. Faded lane marking, some non-self-driving car doing something totally unexpected, extreme weather conditions limiting visibility for the camera's etc.
Anyone else feel sad when you remove a bunch of code? All those man-hours it took to write that code, and now I'm deleting it all. I believe it's called sunk cost fallacy.

That's obvious. It's more contagious than Ebola but less so than Norovirus. You're discounting that MERS hasn't gone away... it's sitting in reservoir(s) of wild and/or domesticated animals right now, likely on two continents thanks to travel and clusters of human cases in South Korea as well. If that doesn't worry you, then I guess anticipation isn't your strong suit.

The point is: hantavirus was a rare disease but was hyped up in North America, MERS is much worse and has the potential to be a minor Ebola again and again.
"There's something out in front of me, an unclear shape right in my path, relatively far, 6 seconds out. I will drive straight through it instead of slowing down, because...[fill in your Voight-Kampff test response]". Well? Is that at least 90% human?

Moreover, try this dashcam video:
https://youtu.be/typj1asf1EM
It's 10 seconds long, and makes the pedestrian look almost invisible except for the soles.

However, when I took that video, both the crossing pedestrians were clearly visible, not vague shapes that you only notice when you're told they exist. So much for video feed fidelity.
The video released by Uber was extremely misleading. Here is a video on YouTube of the same stretch of road taken by someone with an ordinary phone camera shortly after Elaine’s death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRW0q8i3u6E

It’s clear that a) the road is well lit and b) visibility is far, far better than the Uber video would suggest.

An ordinary human driver would have seen Elaine & taken evasive action. This death is absolutely Uber’s responsibility.
Every VS release is one reason less to use Resharper.
Given other tools are available is loading the question. Right now almost all Unix-like systems have Python, but which version 2.7 or 3.x? We still have boxes in our environment that only have 2.6. If they have 3.x, what is the x? Script portability in a diverse environment is a crucial issue for system scripts and even a lot of application support scripts.

Then there's flexibility. With bash you have a massive ecosystem of command line tools, including the ability to in-line code for tools like sed, awk and perl right there in your script. Python has a great standard library, but often the best way to do something in Python is using a third party module, so now you need to curate a module library across all your boxes. Also suppose your script needs to do things other than just process text, suppose I want to ssh onto a box and run a command? Is Paramiko installed, no? So now I need to invoke ssh in a sub-shell which is a PITA in Python compared to bash. Yes it's easier in later 3.x versions but now we're back to version soup again.

We have bash scripts running in our environment that are probably 20 years old, and if I write a new one now it will still work fine in 20 years time. Often it will be a quarter of the length of an equivalent Python script and much easier to understand and reason about.

Then again, there are many cases where a Python script makes a huge amount more sense, often run as part of a bash script.

Well you can predict a little when you switch the scope to its CPU capabilities, not chip vendor platforms. For example, Tensorflow-lite recently added a support for CMSIS-NN (ARM's cuDNN for microcontrollers) so you can run it on the new ARM chips too when they are released.

In defense of academics resorting to such comparisons, making this tangible, exciting, accessible, and generally common sense-compatible is all the rage nowadays.

GAC was surely the recommended way until .NET 4.0, when the location changed.
Can we say with 90% certainty that a human would have saved the situation?

Yes, given the misleading nature of the dashcam video I think we can. This was not a pitch dark road lit only by headlights where an obstacle "appeared out of no-where". This was a well-lit main street, with good visibility in all directions. An ordinary human driver would have had no problem identifying Elaine as a hazard and taking the appropriate avoiding action, which was simply to slow down sufficiently to allow her to cross the road.

The backup driver in the car was apparently looking at their phone or some other device and not watching the road at the time.

My previous phone was Oneplus with such an extreme battery manager (rated by some resource in top 3 of most aggressive managers). There were messaging apps which worked just fine in background and send push notifications even after prolonged periods in background (e.g. Telegram and others) and some apps which were killed in minutes after being minimized (e.g. official Skype app). Point is - I suspect that there is a correct way to make inoffensive apps which will work in background, but certain minority of developers simply don't give a damn about battery usage and proper coding guidelines.
