> I have other issues related to external screens, with 10.14 and 2018 MBP: I usually run the laptop with closed lid and an external screen at work and at home; and use it in “laptop mode” during my commute. Now, sometimes (once a week?) when I plug it into the external screen, it just won’t wake up, unless I open the lid, and then it still won’t recognize the external screen. Have not yet found out a reliable way to resolve this, but I usually manage with turning the monitor off and on again and/or unplugging/replugging it, possibly a couple times each.

I've previously had these problems, and they were made dramatically worse on Catalina. Each monitor has about 50% chance of correctly loading in, on what used to be 90%. My USB mouse (which is plugged in to the displayport monitor) also loads the incorrect drivers until I unplug and replug it.
I think car companies try to rely way too much on machine learning. You get some promising results fast, but it is all inside a black box, both verifying the correctness and changing what is wrong are almost impossible jobs.

Maybe machine learning can be used to tell the difference between a dog and a plastic bag, but you'll need some hard code to describe how to react to either.
Thanks so much for posting this!
According to [0], Mozilla requires all extensions to have a source in human-readable format and runs a test suite on them. They mention "code review" there, but don't say whether it's manual or automatic. I'd love to hear about it from someone who has some experience with the process.

I find the fact that there r quite a few games very interesting. I guess, there maybe a decent set of libraries for 2D and 3D graphics.
One possible answer is that much of management is driven by irrational forces, to a much greater degree than is predicted by economic theory. Perhaps ego and selfishness are much bigger motivators than generally understood. Such is my take in "How To Destroy A Tech Startup In Three Easy Steps":

So you're saying that a house is not a good investment? That despite a trend in increasing property values over the long term, as we have seen in the data since .. the beginning of cities, that a price correction is coming where homes will return to ... prehistoric levels? I don't see it. Instead look at a sample of home prices in the last twenty years in the Bay Area for example, and graph it against the value of a sample of cars bought in 2000.

I suppose it's no surprise that tax laws everywhere do not classify homes as durable goods that depreciate in value.
The lack of backwards navigation and scroll is irritating, though.

News is reported by humans and humans have bias, nobody doubts that. A responsible consumer of the news should know that, and take it into account, but it's not in and of itself an excuse for throwing out the fact-finding that journalists do.

One of the publications I trust the most (WSJ) is one that is editorially least aligned with my own biases. It doesn't make me doubt their factual reporting.
The number of teams who design a data model & ORM layer "just to make it easy to move later on": Lots

The number of teams who eventually move to a different data store? Almost zero.

Getting "locked in" to a database is a non-issue. In fact you should get locked into a database system, provided you picked a good one to start with. Most teams never even scratch the surface of what a powerful DB like Postgres can do for them and it breaks my heart every time.
3D. I like it. I think I agree.

The closest I've seen to anything that actually does that is UML. But it does so only by having multiple different diagrams. That's like having a drawing with a front view and a side view - it's not a 3D diagram, it's two 2D diagrams that you can use to kind of see what's going on in 3D.

I don't know of any good system of notation that does what you're asking, nor any software for drawing or viewing such diagrams. But I agree that 2D flowcharts don't represent parallelism well, and that 3D looks like a better answer.

That's medium term. Long term is Comac and Huawei drive down Boeing and Apple's market share until they're bit players in their industries (or go out of business altogether).
It's a very good question! Figuring out security for these remote racks is one of the hardest parts. For some CDNs their larger POPs will be locked cages with security cameras and all, but these small deployments are significantly more exposed.

Exactly how SSL is handled (or not) varies by provider, but one thing I'll mention is that these will typically never have a cert so important that it can't be easily revoked, and the most important data will likely not be flowing across them - exposure is very limited. Using video streaming as an example, one option is to only do TCP termination for example.com (or to not even terminate that domain on the local cache, but back at your main datacenter), then use subdomains with individual certs for the local cache (eg. isp1.cache.example.com). In that case, service calls like login, retrieving the manifest, etc. are secured by the certs you're keeping in your primary dc, then the manifest has a set of https://isp1.cache.example.com URLs pointing to the local cache only for video segments.

Another tricky aspect is making sure that your main network treats them as untrusted so someone with local access can't use it to get a foothold into the rest of your infra.

You could also say similar things about the secondary colors.

Dark cyan = teal.

Dark magenta = purple.

Dark yellow = olive.

And maybe some of the other tertiary colors too, but yeah orange/brown is the more prominent one.
No idea why Benjie is getting down voted, SQL from a client is a bad idea, and writing billions and billions of CRUD endpoints is soul-draining.

Postgrahile is the best of both worlds, providing a nice GraphQL interface on top of your database.

If you decide you need to write crud endpoints, you have your database still. It's a zero-cost abstraction, which is wild.
> How do you program around humans changing their behaviour to take advantage of there being no driver in your car?

The AI car will have sufficient cameras to record your actions and report them directly to your insurance company if not the police.

This will be MORE effective at deterring stupid driving, not less.
This is spot on. The Always/Never is well articulated, it is exactly why I got rid of a vehicle with auto braking. It did it twice when it wasn't supposed to and that was more dangerous than if it had never triggered at all. And yet, in an actual imminent crash it would have probably responded a lot quicker than I ever could. Still, I'm not going to be scared twice in a month by my car doing stuff 'on its own' to my possible detriment.
Really like this. Is there something similar for gitlab?
It's one of the biggest engineering problems in the last 10 years due to sensory input issues, dealing with the unexpected behavior of outside influences and you have to have the mechanical and software components that the first two components give the commands to, and can then faithfully execute them https://semiengineering.com/challenges-to-building-autonomou... and https://semiengineering.com/more-data-more-problems-in-autom...
Wow, so many people who lack the skills to be a manager dismissing it. I've worn several hats during my time, and doing manager stuff was the hardest. Dealing with interpersonal relations on the team, managing expectations from internal and external clients. Translating tech speak to and from marketing speak. Running code reviews, etc, etc.

It's a hard job. And there are a lot of people that are bad at it that get put in that role anyway. A good manager does way more than you'll ever see, because he's dealing with a world of crap so work can be done.

It so much easier to sit and work on one programming task than to try to keep an eye on all the "big picture" and "small picture" stuff at once.

Once I had a programmer who had an idea for a different data structure for one of our code bases that made generating the objects faster, as the cost of slowing read time a bit. He couldn't fathom the idea that even though his new structure would be good for HIM, the other teams that process that data are not going to be happy if each read is slower.
My understanding is that it's not an architecture thing, but an authentication thing: SIM/# as ID is just too practical for both dev and user and they have no plans on changing that.

You're closest hope for a skype replacement that runs equally on all platforms is tox, which requires managing your key.
Furthermore, if your peace of mind is the true reason why you sleep better with RF off, note that by talking of your experience you could actually be creating the problem that you were trying to solve (difficulty sleeping due to worrying about RF). If RF is really to blame as determined by a blinded test, it's worth talking about, but if not, please exercise restraint.
Of course I know why. People don't like competition.

Lower rents, and having more affordable housing is obviously something that a person who profits from higher rents, would want to prevent.
For a long time I've been baffled about what amounts to testing at Apple. I purposely avoid new releases for at least a year due to Apple's history of releasing beta-grade OS X updates. Testing seems to be an afterthought or maybe the users ARE the test suite. From one of the biggest tech companies on the planet as well - unfathomable.
Also, corporations spend surprisingly little, like, a rounding error compared to how much they could spend.

And there's a cynical response that they are gaining influence in other ways, but it's not like we usually model corporations as agents of great restraint, so why wouldn't they also do way more political spending?
Maybe, but the music from that movie is still iconic; more so than most other DC movies', except perhaps Elfman's Batman theme.

Yes but so does human intuition and its a heck of a lot faster.

A healthy person can endure a toxic environment. An unhealthy person becomes more unhealthy from increased toxicity.

I’m not saying electromagnetic radiation makes a healthy person unwell i’m saying it delays or worsens recovery of some unhealthy people and there are million different subsets of unhealthy people so which subset are you going to run the double blind placebo on before you decide reduce electromagnetic radiation while you sleep.

It’s a simple experiment anyone can try. Two weeks of camping is an effective insomnia treatment as per research which eliminates electromagnetic radiation from the equation. I think its a zeitgeber in subsets sick people but there’s no profit in researching that so the only tools you have are existing research, intuition, self observation and logic.

People figure out how to sex chickens without a causative mechanism. It isn’t a placebo effect or a double blind trial. Electrochemical gradients as per Michael Levins research affect genetic expression. Much like hedging one’s bet by believing in a creator just in case reducing your exposure to RF at zero cost is the smartest thing someone can do with the available evidence.
A good article from 2016 on the topic of such attacks: https://ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/infk/inst-...
I've been beating this drum for years (but I'm a nobody, so it's like pissing in the wind):

1. Anything less than 100% FULL automation is MORE dangerous than manual driving, because the "driver" will almost certainly lack any situational awareness. When the need for manual intervention happen, it will be at the moments where you need maximum awareness and split second reflexes.

2. There are SO many edge cases and never-seen-before situations that happen when driving "at scale" that the automation features will fail unexpectedly and in strange ways.

3. G and Cruise might be exceptions, but most of the companies in this space are cowboys with reckless disregard for public safety and terrible "iterate quickly" coding practices.

4. At some point there will be an accident that kills a photogenic "middle America" person or people and at that point the government will crush this industry with regulation, with the financial backing of automakers, UAW, and other people who benefit from the status quo.

The only way 100% fully self driving cars will ever happen is for the infrastructure itself to be built to accommodate them. Mixing regular cars, parking, trucks, bicycles, scooters, pedestrians, dog walkers, hoverboards, etc all together on the same roads ensures that the problem is unsolvable.
I don't recall page size being a reason. I recall TABLE layouts being a lot smaller than most of their alternatives at the time (FRAMESETs in particular come to mind, because we knew HTTP connection overhead was a thing even back then and needing separate files for each individual website "part" felt like a huge bandwidth waste back then).

The big problem was always Accessibility-related semantics. Websites laid out in TABLEs were often quite confusing to screen readers, as TABLE has a lot of supposedly important semantics in how it should be read/engaged with and using a TABLE for layout follows none of them. (What does a table header mean in a layout? Most layouts wouldn't have good headers. How do you describe what a table column is supposed to be for without a column header?) It's a shame that narrative was never clear enough that Accessibility was always the big reason TABLEs were considered a Bad Idea for layout.

(Speaking of downloading a megabyte of data, I recall how long I felt that a 1.44 MB floppy was the best restriction for the size of an entire website. If it was bigger than a floppy you were probably doing something wrong. I stopped counting floppies a long time ago; that person might be ashamed at how many floppies a typical website downloads these days.)
In my experience, it's sales and audience retention who are concerned with those figures. Editorial is concerned with the content. They may A/B headlines, but not stories (let alone facts).

It's important to note what outlets classify themselves as entertainment versus journalism when pressed on an inaccuracy.
That is an interesting point. I can see that human drivers will be much more willing to drive aggressively (i.e. play chicken) if they know the other driver(s) are AI and will take evasive action.

For example, I avoid doing things on the road that an inattentive other driver might be slow to react to and hit me, such as suddenly cutting across 3 lanes of traffic.
I've been playing around with AVIF for a few months, and I've been impressed that it's about twice as efficient as JPEG. I can't wait to see how JPEG XL compares to it, and to have web browsers support one (or both).
You have to imagine that the design work done for that was based on an assumption that Apple would stick with the trashcan form factor long term, and that the first gen unit would at least get regular bumps to newer CPU and GPU options.

Must have been a heartbreaker sitting on all that infrastructure in July 2019 when the cheese grater was announced and the newest trashcans were still selling for full price with a six-year-old processor.

(Here's a comment from 2015 which expresses these concerns in the future tense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9500301)
A lot of people are incredibad at driving in snow. I would not be surprised at all if self driving cars vastly reduce the accidents attributable to snow on the road. Some of that might be due to the car deciding something is too dangerous to attempt, and frankly that seems fine to me. If your problem is “the car can’t handle x condition”, there’s really no issue so long as that’s because the car refuses to try, rather than trying and failing with non trivial probability
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that they want a resume?
My point was that we gave names to these other colors, so that doesn't seem to be the reason people think brown is a "real" color more than maroon and olive.

Can you learn to code in a college Computer Science program with a Chromebook?
I have this argument constantly. Humans make mistakes too, so we will eventually have tech that makes fewer mistakes than humans. The problem is that humans have a unique ability to make sense of situations they've never specifically encountered before. No amount of training data will be able to make up for that, because there will always be situations so rare that they never made it into the data.
> There are facts in this world. And our collective belief in them is what holds the world together.

You say this like there's someone in charge. As if the chaotic nature of evolution isn't the sole reason for our tribal monkey brains. Instead of acknowledging that facts can be misleading (clickbait anyone?) you double down on your tribal tendencies of trusting those who are similar to you. Instead of seeking facts seek understanding. I don't think understanding and comprehending is very easy. If it is easy maybe you could write a script and I'll unit test it :P

That decidedly was not your point. You added that point in a followup after someone conveniently fleshed it out for you, but try to read your original comment in a vacuum and find any trace of it.

The point that was sent across in your comment was that we have an “unparalleled” power grid (and Internet, apparently, which I could also easily take apart) and we should feel fortunate because outside of America, things like that are worse or nonexistent. Aside from the mild xenophobia and casual dismissal of cultures not your own, the overarching point you built out of this was: there isn’t really a problem and our infrastructure is world-leading. The words are right there for all of us to see, including you, and I feel on pretty firm ground about how I interpreted (and attempted to engage) your thinking. I even answered your call to action directly, pointed out counterexamples exactly as you requested, and you didn’t even bother to click the links. At all.

I don’t know why you’re calling this second point obvious (it certainly isn’t) or going after people passive aggressively who engaged you on the point you originally made, by saying those who disagree are venting. It’s okay to be wrong. Pretty much the entire comment was Americentric and a denial of reality with a backhand for the rest of the planet. It was wrong. That’s fine. Moving the goalposts like this just makes the whole thing stupid. Try this out: “You’re right, there might be a problem. I disagree with you on scope, but perhaps we can meet in the middle.” It isn’t hard. It won’t hurt.
I haven't used it in a while but I think it's probably similar to WhatsApp where it basically just tunnels it through your phone without actually running a Signal client on your machine.
Of course media organisations will have a biased point of view. It is comprised of humans who by our nature will have biases. But there is a world of difference between news organisations who seek to present facts and those that seek to intentionally deceive.

And it has been taught to many kids for years how to deal with bias in media. You simply consume many different types. The problem is most people don't do this.
I think this is a semantic argument... If 100 independent scientists reproduce results, those results themselves are a scientific consensus, are they not?

Speaking as the SO of a major property management company exec operating in Portland, no it wasn't a policy that benefits landlords. Not in the slightest. More competition and lower prices are a landlord's and developer's worst nightmare.

And yes, due to the scale of development, rents are lower than they expected when they built. Your prices were gonna go up regardless, and the scale of development that happened actually kept prices down.
All of those except for Tesla have never made hard claims about being able to deliver full autonomy in the near future as far as I know.
Go back a couple of years and look on just about any thread about self-driving on a forum such as this one and you'll find no shortage of people arguing that they're just around the corner. Because, after all, that's what the SV hypesters were saying and they'd never lie.
