It is the most practical long-distance option. But we should be able to give up things that are bad, even if they're practical (like asbestos – an amazing material, but it causes cancer to those who have to work with it).

Traveling is nice. I'd argue that most flying done nowadays does not increase cultural understanding. Hitchhiking or slow and uncomfortable means of transportation do increase cultural understanding, because they force people to share something. Modern traveling technologies offer a chance to travel half the globe while staying in a safe bubble. By the way here's an interesting phenomenon that you can notice when people talk about their travels. Stories always revolve around technical issues. Flight was cancelled, they had to take a cramped bus through the mountain, something was broken in the hotel, they got delayed when crossing a border. Traveling is often a game of moving around in unusual and adverse circumstances, and somehow making it work in the end.

Climate change is currently hurting economies, and the trend is worsening. Something that contributes to climate change is bad for the economy.

Having friends far from home is a bad choice. I've done it myself and it does have something attractive. But it makes life more difficult and these friends won't be there when you need them, simply because it's not practical. Of course it might sound great to say that someone flew thousands of kilometers to visit you. It sounds great because it's a huge waste, like showering a loved one with flowers.
Almost all commercial banks offer SCT. And most of them for free while most co-op/sparkassen charge a fee (some of them even for receiving an instant payment which is rediculous).

Sparkassen failed at numerous attempts to come up with an online payment system that gets any traction and it took considerably longer for them to adopt apple pay.

I think it's also not good to paint commercial banks as one entity: There are old ones, large ones, cheap ones, upper-classy ones, spin-offs and startups. Sparkassen and co-ops are seldomly a startup e.g.. So depending on their clients and considering that SCT in DE has still low adoption amongst clients compared to direct debit mandates, a commercial bank or a startup may very rightfully choose to de-prioritize SCT adoption.
I looked at it and got the impression that it was BNP's low cost product, aimed at a younger audience, perhaps with no banking record.

I use Boursorama Bank in France and they're pretty good. Setting up the a/c and transferring over from HSBC FR was relatively painless, though they dropped a few of the direct debit mandates that I had to recreate manually. I think the account is free as long as you actually use it actively.

Is extended intelligence the answer to AI uncertainty?
Does this website not look a little suspicious ?

It is hard to find an actual name of a person behind this site. When I go to faq -> "Who .." there is another company called "Dadax" listed, but no link. odd

I am asking because people have sent me other suspicious sites over the last few weeks (wuflu.live).

I am not denying the virus, just questioning things on the internet.
It really doesn't though. I wish people who were commenting on this were able to try AP for an extended period of time, enough to get used to it.

It makes the driving experience 10x better at least. It's weird to describe but you can almost "feel" the AP working. I've only had to intervene a couple times but when I did you can instantly tell when you need to, and it's quite easy to do. It's almost like you're a supervisor who is overlooking everything rather than micro managing every little adjustment to the steering wheel.
This whole self driving, fully autonomous thing has become some sort of strange faux-religion.

It's followers see no other possible solution as acceptable.

Instead of putting our heads together to make really good driver assistance technologies and being satisfied, the darn thing needs to also drive itself everywhere otherwise we're leaving something on the table! Untill we have zero deaths, we cannot stop demanding self driving - as if somehow AI is a magical solution that's always better than humans.

Forget better frame, chassis, and body panel design to protect pedestrians! We won't need them if AI never hits anyone.

Forget better braking systems that apply themselves automatically. We don't need that if AI can always avoid the need for sudden stops.

Forget seat belt enhancements since that'll just inhibit nap time in my self driving car.

No, forget it all. My car needs to drive me all by itself, everywhere I need to go, no matter how hard or impossible of a problem that is. Driver assist is boring... Level 5 is sexy, and that's what I want!
One, end-to-end encrypted push service can make any intercepted data useless, as you cannot even know if the traffic corresponds to a message or is just a ping, let alone which app or contact the message is from.

> 'Is that what you consider "working fine"?'

First off, yes. It's a big country so figures like that don't mean a whole lot. I wager I'm more likely to be killed by cheeseburgers than by a car. 50,000 cheeseburgers are eaten every three seconds in America.

But another thing: if Tesla were really trying to save lives, they'd have this software turned on for all their cars. That's not what they're doing. Rather they're selling activation of this software for thousands of dollars. They're selling a luxury product.
It's interesting isn't it, for me I've only had one problem with Catalina (not logging into iCloud) and that was resolved easily. Time Machine works, Disk Utility has been fine, running a display over thunderbolt is fine. I run Windows on the same hardware and have far more problems with that.

Some people clearly are having problems however it's hard to get a handle on how widespread this really is.
I'm not arguing that at all. I'm saying that all parts of the development process are important and each part adds to what you can charge for and how much you can charge. If you're good at writing software and understand how to create a maintainable, robust, well tested code base then you can get paid for things like refactoring, documentation, testing, etc. Clients understand that writing software is more than just delivering features.

Specifically in my own case, the company I work for writes software for (mostly) software product companies. When we plan what to do in a sprint 'refactoring' is part of that. We literally charge for the time we spend doing it. How long we spend refactoring is agreed by the customer's project / product manager. They understand why it's necessary and important, and they want us to do it.
Then give the user choice between the service he wants to use. How we can't see through this monopoly is beyond me.

Funnily enough, because of this similarity the un-patentability of a cooking recipe was a frequently used example to hightlight the absurdity of patenting software in the campaign against software patents in Europe.
That report is comparing humans driving in all conditions vs autopilot driving in only the best conditions. Humans are deciding when it is safe enough to turn autopilot on. So no, it is not less dangerous.
I actually doubt this is the case. Pings probably happen on some relatively-predictable interval, while a back-and-forth conversation between two parties is going to result in push notifications with much shorter intervals than any reasonable ping implementation would use. The metadata might be limited in value, but it still has some value, and I think it could easily be distinguished from pings.

Do you have any references for your assertion?
>Modern desktop operating systems don’t limit the number of processes actually running.

Yes. But no reason we need "unlimited processes" to use iOS for development and other stuff.

A few processes with a hard limit would be doable...
Owning your own car seems lime the much bigger waste in the long run. Imagine only needing a fraction of vehicles in total.

Owning your own car will become a luxury for many people. Kinda like owning a horse.

> Names don't really mean anything

This is so, so wrong. Names explicitly set people's expectations.
I experience the opposite reaction. I'm elated! Especially when a conditional can be removed/refactored. That's 1/2 as many tests. 1/2 as many possibilities for something to go wrong. As long as the functionality remains the same (or simpler) I love to delete code. Especially my own.
It is, but that's not too relevant, as the ReSharper component runs in another process (but that's managed code as well, so probably also runs as a 64-bit process).

There are no mountains at the cruise altitude of a 747. TCAS will provide a warning 30 seconds before collision and the Airbus A380 has an autopilot with integrated TCAS avoidance. So it will hit neither mountains (too low) nor other aircraft (automatic avoidance).

I've used those. I would say that they're not perfectly erasable and it still takes more effort to erase compared to a whiteboard.

I think the biggest thing here is the size of the canvas and the speed at which you can make changes. Sure, markers can be messy and smelly, I will give you that. Regarding the imprecision: when I am brainstorming I am not looking to be precise and I would argue that noone should be aiming for that; prototyping should be messy and quick to mutate.
> But it does need to undo all allocations and such that were made between the exception and the nearest exception handler, doesn't it? Isn't this "unwinding the stack"?

it should do so if you use error codes too - else you've got an incorrect program which leaks things like memory (not too bad on our current computers), file handles (really sucks on windows), sockets (really sucks on linux).
>Again, you are thinking of porting a touch app to a non-touch device when the issue is that good touch and non-touch UI and ergonomics cannot co-exist on the same device.

Sure they can, just not on the same screen sizes/input methods.

A bit unrelated to this post, but Time Machine really sucks.

How can I get all the photos I’ve ever had on my laptop without going through each revision? I wish TM worked like rsync and some added metadata files for functionality. I’m literally having to zip each and every previous version which takes days and unzip those files on a hard drive to eventually have a replica of my current macOS filesystem with all the files I’ve had in the past conglomerated there

My experience so far is a team of developers can deliver 30-100 LoC per day of front-end code.

How do you imagine the coding UI would work? It strikes me that coding is extremely keyboard dependent, and also a case where screen space is important, so it's like a worst case scenario for a soft keyboard.
There’s also a sampling bias for the kinds of roads where Autopilot is available, and the kinds of circumstances where people are most likely to trust and use it.
That's not news. I stopped using Time Machine, when it couldn't transfer my backup to a new Macbook. Rsync worked better. If you look at the actual backup, they use hard links to make snapshots. Not great for many small files or small changes to large files.

Since then I wrote a simple frontend for Borg Backup for macOS, called Vorta[1]. Use it for local and remote backups[2]. Fast and works on any file system.

There are several youtube accounts (like "tesla driver") for solely this purpose - to show off how the autopilot behaves, in different situations, with hands or no hands, on long or short drives, in city, on highway, between the different autopilot update verions, in different weather etc. etc. If you are really interested you can already find a lot of firsthand information, with video no less so you can see exactly for yourself what the situation was and how AP handled it.

No, it’s not. The two technologies solve two different problems.

A blockchain is basically a single, global Git repository, where each commit is a “block” and the data inside that block/“commit” are transactions.

The defining difference between Git and a blockchain is that blockchains define which branch (commit history) is the correct one — the branch that you should put your commit on top of.

Blockchain provides a means to arrive at a consensus on which commit history (branch) is correct, while Git does not.
I played with "regenerating" models by filling the field with multiple overlapping copies and repeatedly changing the angle, with rather weak results.

As the shapes are disintegrated and rebuilt, patterns can form: the eye forms brown and white thick straight "sausages", the yellow striped fish forms similar but smaller strips, the butterfly and the pretzel exhibit crawling shapes with partial features and empty space, the christmas tree can develop stripes on a green background instead of balls, the lizard reforms very effectively recovering empty space, the ladybug reforms partially (heads in a sea of wing material), the explosion produces an uniform patch of the interior section as growth extinguishes the border.

Marginal Revolution just highlighted an interesting detailed look at US car (driver) fatalities. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/02/wh...

>> After accounting for freeways (18%) and intersections and junctions (20%), we’re still left with more than 60% of drivers killed in automotive accidents left accounted for.

>> It turns out that drivers killed on rural roads with 2 lanes (i.e., one lane in each direction divided by a double yellow line) accounts for a staggering 38% of total mortality. This number would actually be higher, except to keep the three categories we have mutually exclusive, we backed out any intersection-related driver deaths on these roads and any killed on 2-lane rural roads that were classified as “freeway.”

>> In drivers killed on 2-lane rural roads, 50% involved a driver not wearing a seat belt. Close to 40% have alcohol in their system and nearly 90% of these drivers were over the legal limit of 0.08 g/dL.

I don't think people give enough attention to whether broad statistics actually apply to cases of interest. That's about 40% of all driver fatalities occurring on rural non-freeway roads, of which 35% (~14% overall) were legally driving drunk.

People compare various fatality rates associated with riding an airplane vs driving a car all the time, but I've never seen anyone point out that an incredibly simple mitigation you're probably already doing -- not driving on non-freeway rural roads -- lowers your risk of dying in a car accident by more than a third. And it gets even better if you're not driving drunk!

If you measure driving quality in terms of fatality rate, it is actually the case that almost everyone is better than average. A lot better than average. But public discussion completely misses this, because we prefer to aggregate unlike with unlike.

How to improve your Scala programming skills?
I can understand. Way back when I had an internship at a Apple reseller I always found it crazy people where strongly against upgrading to the latest release. A lot of it was because 3rd party software lagging behind on support. But nowadays I want my machine to just work and I completely understand.
> If it's so hard to learn about this tool and so easy to learn about it the wrong way, that's a pretty obvious hint that there's something wrong with the tool.

Not necessarily. This may mean (and I think in this case, it does) that people are too afraid to learn about those "internals" - or should I say, the mental model behind the tool (and then some of those people write tutorials for others, perpetuating the problem). And with a "monkey see, monkey do" approach, people can fail at anything, up to and including tying their own shoelaces.

There is no such thing as a perfect encapsulation. Not in programming, and especially not in the physical world. "Internals" are ever-present and leak into view all the time. A good abstraction is just one that you can use day-to-day without constantly minding what's going on behind the scenes.

More importantly though, when you're just learning a bunch of git commands in isolation ("monkey see, monkey do"), you're not learning a tool/an abstraction - you're just learning its interface. That's sometimes OK, but in general, for effective use of an abstraction it's better to learn what moving pieces it is abstracting away. Which in case of Git is that it's a DAG. DAGs are kind of fundamental in programming, too; it's good to understand them.
That's not what the report is comparing at all. The report is comparing all vehicles driving in all conditions vs Teslas driving in all conditions (separate for with and without autopilot).

The numbers show that Teslas experience a lower crash rate than other vehicles. Granted, this can be to a number of reasons including the hypothesis that humans deciding to buy Teslas drive more carefully to begin with. And the numbers show that turning on autopilot further reduces crash rates.

This at least tells us that letting the vehicles with the automated driving and safety features on the road doesn't increase the risk for the driver and others, which was the original premise I responded to.
You're right, there isn't. But what years of unrestricted background execution have shown us is that developers these days will choose the lazy solution over the right solution about 9 times out of 10.

I'd be the richest guy if I'd get a penny every time I've seen an Android app do background polling every 5 minutes (!) instead of using push notifications or even long polling.
The usual response to recommendation to improve the design was "Why? It works and it's a lot of work to run a push server!".

So as much as I dislike restrictions on my operating systems, Google forcing developers to push notifications has massively improved battery life across the ecosystem.

> He makes the point that exceptions should be truly exceptional conditions

The comment did say that, but the only explanation of why exceptions should only be used that way seemed to be performance based. If that is not the issue, then what is? Saying "that's what they're for" without any other detail is a circular argument.
Seriously, what is people's problem with that word? Tesla actively explains how this works currently (both in person and also in bold font on their website) when anyone buys a car. There is no owner of this car that thinks that it has full self-driving capability. It is literally a non-existent problem.
> Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.

You're conflating FSD with Autopilot.
Comma.ai kind of follows the "improving lane detection until it drives you completely" line, at least according to what I get from this interview with Hotz: https://lexfridman.com/george-hotz/

He's still a bit too optimistic for my taste.
Then don't call it Autopilot and stop saying it will be able to drive you on the highway soon.
