"Though honestly I can't see that much can be done about pedestrian safety once your vehicle is colliding with a human being."

I don't agree, there some definitive choices in car design that affect the aftermath of the collision that can have effect on the pedestrian surviving. As pointed above if a pedestrian is hit by a car he has a better chance to roll over the hood of the car vs an SUV where the pedestrian would probably would be hit and fall under the car.
I have no idea whether I agree with your post, because I'm not going to bother to follow the links. If it's not worth your time to at least write a sentence introducing the links, then it's not worth my time to follow them.
I liked this summation because the migration happened for a truly valid reason: Python really was a bottleneck. Not that I expected ESR to succumb to hype driven development, but it's nice to see for sure.

On the article itself: I just knew that error handling would have the biggest write-up, even when the one writing was someone like ESR. Gods, the error handling in Go is odious.

Now my obligatory opinion: If only [insert language here, Go in my current job]'s promise of producing more maintainable code was true; the reality is that it's just the same nigh unmaintainable hell I've found in nearly every other project I've worked on. At least Python is nice to read, even (mostly) when awfully written. Oh, how I miss it.
This makes alot of sense. I think you're on to something. (Disclaimer: I worked for Magento and on a team responsible for turning the Magento monolith into a suite of microservices).

Are you targeting any key segments, use case, or GMV merchant-wise?

Happy to share what I know if it would be relevant. Feel free to DM!
Herb Sutter: An Empirical Look at Teaching and Using C++
Well, it isn't very weird now. Most phones now have a notch.
My dad used to spend summers in Armenian country side where his grandparents had livestock. They had a pair of Armenian Gamprs as guard dogs. According to his anecdotal evidence a single Gampr would get torn to bits by a pack of wolves but 2 of them would often keep a pack away and were even used in wolf hunts. These are some giant and vicious dogs though. I think they're much larger than shepherds.
I don't understand how one would dial a 1 on that dial. There doesn't seem to be any room for it to travel.
Tl;dr The use of advanced CI/CD workflows for databases has not been practical due to the lack of tool-chain support. TerminusDB makes possible collaborative CI/CD type operations in the universe of data management. TerminusDB provides a practical tool for enabling branch, merge, rollback, and the various automated and manual testing regimes which are facilitated on a transactional database management system.
It's not second guessing. It's more real-time than that. You are actively navigating and piloting the car, you just aren't performing the mechanics of executing most maneuvers. Sometimes you provide some extra direction. Sometimes you intervene.

It is a skill like driving. But it is not driving. It was way less frustrating and draining than driving and so is a very valuable feature. But we are all in agreement that it is not autonomous driving.
Universities do that. I have lived in Washington, DC, for many years, and have seen all of the local universities sprawl. I'm not sure American University had reached to the west side of Massachusetts Avenue yet: now it has a building or two on Connecticut Avenue. Catholic has expanded up along the train tracks. Howard briefly had a dorm on 16th St. Georgetown is trapped in an expensive neighborhood, and has publicly considered what it might do to put some facilities in Maryland.

If you want to meet a real estate behemoth have a look at Harvard...
Yes. It was.
As you know, a nash equilibrium is the point at which no player can benefit from a move away from the equilibrium. However, that's a concept from game theory. What is the game here? Who are the players?

Part of my point is that you might think that the game is "scientists vs. politicians, ignoramuses, and fear-mongers," but that's not the case. Sometimes they're all on the same side. Imagine a 4 player split-screen Star Fox, where the scientist leaves their controller and helps the others shoot down their plane because they don't think they can win. If that sounds baffling, it is.
Maybe that's the plan all along. 'huh strange correlation, let's put this in a paper, wait for case reports'. Might not be a bad process, if explicit.

Isn't that the main reason why people from governments want to do business with them?

If a company is not corrupt, it's not able to backchannel a big part of the money.
Wow, those must be some super old ecologists and biologists if they were the same people!
The competency of FAANG is completely overblown. Mostly they enjoy massive profits by being monopolies. Because they're monopolies, they can afford to waste a ton of money on software. Facebook is not even known for high software quality, theyre actually known for speed and getting the work done as fast as possible. Same for Amazon.

No, you can start with absolutely zero knowledge, but it has different approach than usual courses.

You don't start with simple selects, but importing data from files and normalizing it. You're intern at aerospace startup after all.

I'd say it's _refreshing_ compared to prevalent approach to teaching SQL
So doing any businesses that do business in those areas would be "linked"?

Snowden as a false flag? Well, it's theoretically possible, but quite unlikely IMHO.
This is my point exactly, they arent. They just have monopolies.
'we just hire the best applicants for the job' - this irks me everytime I hear it because it is obvious and hard to argue with. Everyone wants to hire the best applicants. The problem to me is that the applicant pool doesn't always represent the best, and is subject to so many variables (time of year, job description language, company reputation, etc.)

I think some of those variables can be tweaked to encourage more e.g. women to apply. I know that women (and probably other minorities) are less likely to apply for a job they don't feel qualified for than men. I've noticed some JD's stating to apply anyway -- I always appreciate that gesture.

I don't think they meant the business-context "conflict of interest" rather the more general "conflicting interests".
You're in luck, such a tool exists! It's HTML and JavaScript. :)
I am talking about that one. My expectation would be those streets shouldn't be there in the first place honestly. I should be able to walk from one side of that mall to the other without worrying about cars.

Parking lots surround it in the first place. Do you really need to have parking 10 ft away from every shop?

Another poster mentioned the grove in LA. That is actually a pretty good model for what I'd say is a good walkable outdoor mall. There's no car traffic in the Grove, and no car traffic in the farmers market.

I'd also add in, this is different from a downtown in that is was planned. It wasn't like they had constraints based on locations, public roads, etc. If we were talking like revitalizing an actual downtown (like Oregon District), I'd be a bit less critical. But when I see planned "downtowns" that make it so the pedestrian is still subservient to the car, and it doesn't have all the amenities I actually need to live there (which I'll give that I probably have to drive somewhere to work, but still, even something as basic as a grocery store), Sorry, not really interested.
Whether gender is relevant is not a normative question but an empirical question. Given that women were, for centuries, barred from obtaining education and then nudged away from science more than men, it is a very simple empirical fact that gender is relevant. I think it shouldn't be, and hopefully someday it won't be, but it is.

Will check out your stuff! Incidentally, I've toyed with the idea of "usefulmoose" for an artist name. [adjective-that-people-like][animal-that-people-like]. Good formula.
Sadly not actually small. I have a Pixel 3A right now and I hate it, it's way, way too big. What I need is something where I can reach the top of the screen (notifications, Firefox URL bar and tab controls, other controls) while using one hand, without loosening my grip on the phone. This worked fine up to about 4.7" screens. Beyond that and it's just impossible.
I don't live in Santa Fe, but I think it's got a very walkable core. That said, it's also a very typical example of a town whose residential suburbia has ballooned without support from public transit, to the point that if you don't live near Cerillos Road, you're basically in the suburbs and absolutely you need a car.
This kind of service would be extremely valuable for some use-cases. But I could see a hard to solve issue here. Imagine that private key for domain1.com leaked and ordinary person (not owner) wants to revoke corresponding certificate. It's enough to tell CA who issued that certificate and it'll revoke it. Now imagine that private key for sub1.domain2.com leaked. It's signed by domain2.com operator who's just small business or some hobbyist guy and does not even read his mail. Should letsencrypt be responsible for revoking those certificates? What if there are 4 billion of those certificates (e.g. 1.1.1.1.domain2.com, 1.1.1.2.domain2.com and so on)? Should letsencrypt reach domain2.com owner and ask him to revoke? Now it's human labour and can't be automated. Should letsencrypt just revoke domain2.com CA if any of his subdomains were compromised? That's not good either. Should we allow domain2.com owner to issue valid certificates for his subdomains without following proper security practice (like not distributing private keys in his devices)? Not a good idea too.
Hub was created by Chris Wanstrath, one of the original GitHub founders, so it's not surprising there's no reference to it. There's a damnatio memoriae of GitHub's founders and founding story because of certain subcultures that were fostered there by the people they chose to hire.

That's a very appealing idea — after all, biologists and ecologists are the experts at biology & ecology. But what if the biologists and the ecologists disagree? E.g. maybe the wolves would be great in one biological aspect but bad for the ecosystem?

Of course any decision has multiple impacts: even if biologists and ecologists agree, what about stakeholders? Should farming and ranching experts have a seat at the table? What about climatologists (after all, maybe wolf flatulence better or worse than deer flatulence)? What about mining interests, who might need to adjust physical security? What about suburban homeowners, who might need to do likewise? What about urban renters, who might really want to see those suburbanites move into the city?

And of course even if we limit the discussion strictly to scientists who can be strictly objective about the decisionmaking, they can still be wrong, because the settled science at any point in time can be incorrect (cf. phrenology, the safety of leaded gas and the immediacy of self-driving cars).

At the very least, if we make the vote democratically, whatever happens can be blamed on everyone collectively.
MWC Barcelona has been cancelled
No, they're just non-existent. Anyone with a brokerage account had a ~20%+ return last year... it's over 30 years that matters.

I'm sure there's SOME ETF that managed to do 15% returns over a 30 yr period, but that's just selection bias after the fact. It doesn't mean that ETF would do well this year, or next.
But it’s A+A=B
What a pessimist!

Here are my ten optimistic positions:

1. Computing and tech: Manycore systems become standard, even cellphones have hundreds of cores. Many fundamental algorithms have been developed to make use of these cores. Of course this makes these CPUs much faster then their 10yrs old counterparts. Of course, the single core performance remains the same as 20yrs ago.

2. Autonomous vehicles: It is done already today, and it will be done even more in 10yrs. We won't have the general AI and thus the problem of autonomous driving remains formally unsolved but practically solved for 99.99% of the time (that's not very good for any standards, but people don't care). Of course, this has enormous effects on "drivers" loosing their jobs or doing supervision/operating of a whole fleet from remote instead.

3. AI apocalypse: There will be a whole industry doing profitable ML and "AI".

4. Data science: don't underestimate public-money funded science. Universities won't decline at all. And progress is slow, but coming (Google for "big science, little science" if you wonder about these systematic concerns)

5. Privacy: Well, yes, we all know where this ends. There will be much more totalitarian states in 10yrs. No hope for optimism.

6. Quantum Computing: Major breakthroughs will happen. We can do 54 Qubits now, we will be able to do 1000 Qubits then, definitely. Don't underestimate the power of exp(t). :-)

7. Transportation/Energy: electric cars will be common all over the world. Atomic energy will still be a thing, thought.

8. Engineering: we will see at least one revolution similarly to 3d printing nowadays.

9. Agriculture: Veganism will much more become a thing and mass culture of animals will decline. I believe in the good things...

10. Science: Gravitational waves will allow us a much deeper understanding of the universe. Computing power boosts predictions in theoretical life sciences even more. Cancer will probably be cured. Amazing medicine will be developed. Many more people will have a degree, having studied will become as common as being able to read is nowadays.
Median income vs median peak income. I don't know whether the figure is accurate, but it's discussing a different thing.
The thing about SaaS is once you've found those first ~100 customers to give you money, this is a big indicator that your product solves a real problem, has found a place in the market, and will continue to grow. It's really hard to get those first 100 customers, but once you get them, incredibly easier to get the next 100.

Whereas if you're salaried at $48k/yr, the chance of getting a $48k/yr raise, and then another, and another, and 10x'ing or 100x'ing your compensation is effectively zero.

This is speaking from experience, I run a SaaS company currently making $60k/mo, and not too long ago we were making $4k/mo.
I watch a LOT of subtitled video, even when there is a dub available. And even I can find it challenging.

Sometimes the dialog is dense. And the visuals are dense at the same time. I often feel like I am trading off one against the other.

My daughter has a visual impairment and subs are not fun for her. She still muscles through them though ... even if it means hitting pause every few seconds.
buying the ram probably cheaper than buying database liceneses and/or the machines to run them and/or the time you spend making things fast enough when using them.
Depends on what your interests are. If I had exactly $50.00 /month to spend on online education, I'd consider spending it on either a Coursera subscription or a Linux Academy subscription. The latter is especially valuable if you're interested more in "infrastructure" kind of stuff, and IT industry certifications around things like Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, AWS, GCP, Azure, etc. The former includes more of what you might call "theoretical" material and has more focus on Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, etc. (among many other subjects).

FWIW, I actually do maintain subscriptions to both Coursera and Linux Academy and have found both valuable. On Coursera I have found value in Andrew Ng's ML stuff, the Johns Hopkins sequence on Data Science, and the Duke sequence on Statistics with R. I used Linux Academy to prep for my AWS Certified Solution Architect certification, and am currently working on the Docker Certified Associate and Certified Kubernetes Administrator certs.
It is not difficult to see there is considerable effort spent building this.

However, why would anybody use it ? I see following issues

- Editors are getting mighty powerful. So why would a developer trade their favourite tool to your editor in browser ? I wouldn't switch to another editor even somebody is going to pay me more.

- The process-and-cost of deploying backend has gotten way easier-and-so-cheaper - why would anybody write trivial code in autocode and then deploy on your servers ?

Having said the above - I liked autocomplete provided for different apis in your editor. Sorry, if that was harsh.
Fitbit Crashed or Deadlocked by New Bluetooth Vulnerabilities
This question is highly relevant to me. I recently got a small bonus at work with the interesting stipulation that I couldn't take it in cash. (Basically, they let you expense something on the company card for personal use.)

I've been getting back into making music so I wanted to spend it on something fun related to that. And this triggered a surprisingly intense amount of anxiety where I found it really hard to decide what to get. After a lot of soul searching, the understanding I reached was:

There are two flavors of happiness I'll call "joy" and "satisfaction". Joy is stuff where the act itself is intrinsically pleasurable. Taking a warm bath, eating a good dessert, a conversation with close friends. Pleasures to the senses that require no effort on your part. Satisfaction is stuff where having done the act feels good. Writing a short story. Cleaning the garage. You only get out of it what you put into it. If you've heard of "type 1 fun" and "type 2 fun", it's that same distinction. In practice, most hobbies blend the two.

There's a sort of third in-between category for activities whose joy/satisfaction ratio is skill dependent. Sitting down at a piano when you don't how to play well is almost pure satisfaction. It's uncomfortable and repetitive. It doesn't sound great. Your fingers hurt. But you feel good about making progress practicing the skill. Sitting down to play piano when you have mastered it is very enjoyable. You get to perform and it feels good seeing your body create the delightful sounds you hear in your head.

My experience is that the hobbies where people acquire the stuff but then don't use it are the ones that weight more towards satisfaction than joy, and in especially the ones that are skill-dependent. YouTube makes the latter particularly failure prone because there are infinite videos of people who have mastered skills that make the hobby look like pure joy.

(For me, the realization was that since I wanted to maximize joy, I should get gear that built on my existing music skills instead of requiring me to learn more to get fun out of it. I got a little MIDI keyboard and a looper pedal since I already know how to make music on a computer and play a little guitar and those make that existing skill more rewarding.)
Comparing Unix/Linux running on a PC and a iOS/Android running on a smartphone is insanity.

And comparing software repos with app stores is just as bad.

I'm not even quite sure how to address what you're saying, because it's just so completely out of touch with how smartphones are used.
Q5/10 were the easiest to use and fastest to input phones I ever had. They were build to get stuff done, not to play around on.
Currently on SE too. It is a decent phone and I think I'll have it for a while...

As a non-American, should I be more worried about a state that attacks its own people or one that has a demonstrated history of invading other countries and forced regime changes in those countries?

From a pragmatic perspective, I'd choose the former.
What Is Headless Drupal? The What, Why and How
Ask HN: How do you make designs for your own apps, outsource or make yourself?
TL;DR: I'm a coder and hate UI designing my own apps myself. Do you also feel that way, if so how do you tackle that problem?

I love working on side projects and building apps on a side. And really enjoy when the app is beautiful and convenient to use (at least I want to feel that way =)). But I hate UI/UX designing, and everytime I start working on the projects I find myself thinking a lot about how the app/screen should look like, trying to make it beautiful and then switching to procrastination because of it.

But once I definite on how it's going to look like (and not questioning the way it looks) I can build it without a second thought.

So, I wonder how do you tackle that problem when work on your projects?
What software are you (or your vendor) using to produce documents?
You have, at birth, around 3,500 auditory hair cells per ear (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_cell), so 7000 inputs to process for sound. Sure your brain does a lot with that information to project a 3D sound field from two ears, but that's the limit of the input.

The adult human eye has around 70 million cones and 75-150 million rods (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina). There's a bit of crazy data compression that goes in to this, but the amount of information to process from the eyes is several orders of magnitude greater than from the years.

Hmm down votes... Too bad b/c I'm serious. I ported a corpus generator some years ago from Ruby to both Go and Elixir. To my surprise it was easier to port to Go, but the Elixir version ran much faster.
I don’t think so. In most jurisdictions you’re allowed to take action to reduce inequality and increase diversity, this includes e.g. posting job ads in “women’s” magazines. I think I have seen more than one job ad in such a magazine already (I sometimes read them when I get my hands on one even though I’m not the official target demographic).
It's a very broad category but 'services supporting the maintenance and existence of settlements' would definitely cover providing a way to make money off the homes/apartments in settlements like AirBnB and Booking does. It's providing a means of financial support to the people in the settlements.

I'm a bit confused about TripAdvisor but I bet there's just some portion of their business I'm not familiar with. It seems like reviews etc of businesses and lodgings inside settlements wouldn't be enough to reach that category.
> Well, it's understandable that many apps want to run as a regular process. Good old UNUX was and it's GNU/Linux descendants are quite OK with it.

On the other hand, we invented inetd so that we didn't have to keep server processes running all the time when they are only lightly/sparsely used.
