I would disagree with that. For a market like that 3 competitors in one country is actually probebly close to maximal efficnecy. There is such a unification in basic car concepts that adding more providers really doesn't add much.

Specially if there is also tons of international competition as well.

When there was a real need for a new company, because of EV shift, a new one happened. If it was a real oligopoly such could not be done. In fact the Big 3 attempt at using their market power against Tesla have mostly been marketing oppertunites for Tesla.
The best for me was working out of co-working space BUT not the one you imagine. It was actually from an office of a company I worked for before. About 5 people, modern, spacious, 15 minutes walking distance from my home. Literally not a single con. I just paid for my old desk space and that was it. I always suggest people to do the same - don't go to dedicated co-working space. I never understood that concept. Try to find a company that would rent you out a desk, in a walking distance from your home. Ideally with 24/7 access ass well. I had my screen there and only carried my notebook. Unfortunately after years, the moved to smaller space and there was no space for me, which sucks. I haven't worked outside home since :(
i mean, it's not impossible for a competitor to re-do the archiving of all books. Doesn't amazon own all the books!
I switched to macOS in 2009 because Windows was a perpetual patch Tuesday and UX beige box. And that's after cleaning up the fall-out of Blaster, Code Red, Code Blue, Nimda and on and on across hundreds of endpoints and getting sucked into the MCSE/VMware/EMC cert/training dance. I did plenty of work in C (embedded, kernel and userland) and heterogenous net admin-ing on HP-UX, Sun/Solaris, SCO, AIX, SGI from 1996-2013, so I wasn't married to any particular vendor. (Scripting a Cisco 1604 ISDN router to auto-dial the ISP was fun.. and I discovered AIX was phoning-home to IBM and blocked them. LOL.)

If I were the Apple CEO, there needs to be a pause in new features in all platforms in order to fix what's broken, rather that just adding new features, ripping things apart and kicking the technical debt can down the road to continue snowballing.

If you use any of the tools listed, or any other tool, several times a day then it is reasonable to know the internals at least a bit. If you use grep (or git - the same applies) once a month then it's fine to just memorize some commands.
Such a long text... to end with arguing non-POSIX solution. But the initial goal of the project was having a POSIX code, and it can indeed be a valid goal. So the whole post is "a lot more complicated than it could be." Tl dr: you wouldn't make POSIX code.
The obvious solution often isn't the right solution.
Copyright law is gonna change pretty soon.
Well, I've seen the effort needed in the past to lay the foundations (when working on SHR and FSO) and see what's needed now (when working on PureOS). The difference is massive - turns out that thanks to things like always-connected 2-in-1 laptops with mobile broadbands and hidpi touchscreens, lots of things that you simply had to make "mobile specific" in the past can be just reused from the desktop now; and improving them makes things better for all GNU/Linux users, not just mobile ones.

The telephony middleware is a great example of that - it uses ModemManager, which is a part of a regular desktop stack and already well-integrated in GNOME (and other DEs) for many years. Thanks to that, you can just plug a USB 3G/4G stick to your laptop, install Chatty and start SMSing - just like that, plug'n'play (you may even be able to make calls if your modem exports audio over USB, but it's rare).
Agree, there are hundreds of programs in F6S, shut down in a year or so, but still their applications are open. That's one of the reasons I wanted to curate such a list, which will be up-to-date all year.
I love tiling WMs but I do have one gripe (and it's not the fault of the WMs): Every "about" window for every program should have the name of the binary in it so we can call it from the command line. Text editor? You have to know it's gedit. Document Viewer? Evince (say, what?) Want to use a gui for file management on a one-off basis (it happens)? Nautilus wait Nemo no that's not it shit fire up firefox and DDG...

I just see a website that doesn't seem to anything particularly interesting with a CA, is there a paper that explains what's going on (I might have missed the link, but I did look).
The display takes next to no power when not changing.

The problem here is potentially a software bug. The cellphone radio probably is not getting put to sleep as long as it could be, and that's about 100 mWh.
I don't know about MSVC, but glibc malloc has per thread caches. At some point you need to hit the global allocator or sbrk or mmap of course and that might take a global lock.

The feature you want is called dedup(lication).
A big issue that bit me in the ass with Time Machine was that it doesn't backup partitions outside of the main one.

I had to discover this after wiping my disk and losing three years of personal projects / test / scripts in the process.

Was my own fault for not checking but still ... fun times.
I wasn't able to find it referenced in the article and on the paper, is it at room temperature or still near 0 °Kelvin?
This is among my to-do list, as many people requested such metrics. I will add them asap. If you subscribe to the e-mail list from the website, whenever I add those metrics or any other update, you'll be notified about all.
> This whole self driving, fully autonomous thing has become some sort of strange faux-religion.

What really bugs me, as someone working in consulting as a hands-on backend developer with a previous background in technical consulting at an accounting Big4 (student job), is the insane amount of PR, politics and marketing talk by people who have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what they are talking about. I witnessed politicians and C-level industry people talking out of their asses to ... idk ... drive stocks? Look smart in the face of Tesla? PR? No clue.

Self-proclaimed experts in magazines and talk shows raving about how AI is going to change everything. I had colleagues telling customers about the magnificent rise of AI and none of them could even spell "gradient descent". Backed by a law or accounting degree they KNOW that self-driving is just around the corner and they are very vocal about it while easily impressed by tightly controlled demos at some international tech fair. Everyone just seems to fall into the hype trap without a single brain-byte spent on researching the actual issues and what's most sad is actual engineers/technical people not doing their due diligence and informing themselves BUT THEN GOING OUT TO TELL THEIR NON-TECHNICAL FRIENDS ABOUT THE AUTONOMOUS FUTURE. Ugh.

I held a minor internal talk at work about self-driving cars for people generally with other backgrounds but light superficial interest due to "Tesla" and "the hype". They were surprised to see that we are likely decades away from actual Level 4 (not the marketing garbage that some companies put out) because even a slight change in weather can really fuck with all systems on the roads right now.
Hmmm... the introduction dates would match me leaving from there, so that would be a possible explanation. On the other hand, the existing system was already using IBAN and stuff, so as an ignorant customer, SEPA looks like an acknowledgement of what was already in use, not requiring any change in the process. Dunno.

In your case, when you say slow, how slow has it become?
This is an oversimplification of Tesla’s technology, and they don’t use Tensorflow, other people’s pre-trained models, and computer vision isn’t the only thing that is a part of driving, they use radar and ultrasonics as well.

I try new technologies all the time to get a sense of where it is in coming to fruition. I think what you mean is, you’re more skeptical of claims.

The same way you claim you can’t learn anything about NY in your bathroom, you don’t know anything about Tesla or Self-driving if you haven’t tried it. You should at least test drive it under controlled conditions where you feel comfortable before closing yourself off completely.

I have deep concerns about the development to criminalize and ban non-https web sites from functioning in mainstream web browsers. Many flee to Letsencrypt certificates which have a short TTL frame.

Hey everyone, do you have some spare time to do my survey?
I really hope it will be available online after the conference.
I hope it's okay to post this here, but I'm running a Developer Happiness Survey at the moment and will publish the results in an index. If you have a few minutes spare, it would be so helpful to have your input! Thanks heaps, and let me know if this shouldn't be here.
The working draft was last updated in December 2019, unfortunate that browser support is so poor.
So when I see multi-car pileups on the motorway with cars that are a torn up husk (actually I've seen totalled cars just on inner city junctions where the speed limit is supposedly 50 kph), that's failing less hard than self-driving?

10 lines written is low but context also really matters. If you are building a greenfield project then averaging 10 loc a day is not going to work out. However if you are the guy on your team who fixes all the nastiest bugs or cleans up legacy code then you will be writing a fraction of that.

Thanks, now I just need to find something like this for Photos.app. It's always hard to know what's going on in these apps as every a bit more detailed information is hidden from the user.
Fail fast, fail often doesn't work when your life is on the line. I'm sure Tesla did a good job testing but this is one of those things where the world simply is hard to work out what happened. Mind you that the self driving car is probably way better than a comparable human driver. Why do we not feel bad when a human accidentally kills himself from faulty programming too?

> the battery lasts almost 24 hours

It seems like for hobby projects it's really hard to get good battery run times. I wonder why that is. Is is difficult to get everything into the appropriate sleep modes, or are hobbyist parts just that much more power hungry?

Commercial feature phones have stand by times measured in weeks.
You historical knowlage is just wrong here. In fact the 'foundation' of anti-trust has changed a lot since Standard Oil and the Progressive 'Trust Busters'.

We have since realized that Anti-Trust in the Progressive period basically was applied with very little oversight and it was not applied consistantly. It was basically a way for politicans to go after the competition of their funders. This part of Anti-Trust history is often ignored in the glorifited 'Progessives fight evil capitalists'-story that is now so popular with the modern progressives.

Under the new rules, that the judges (specifically Richard Posner) came up with you actually have to show consumers were harmed. And since then all Anti-Trust cases are judged according to that criteria. And unsurprisingly the amount of Anti-Trust conviction has gone to basically nothing.

Standard Oil being case and point, during Standard Oil the oil price consistantly went down and the quality improved. The people that ran amoke against it were not in fact the poor consumers but rather local oil companies that were getting their ass handed to them by Standard Oil. They simply could not compete with the price or the quality.
> what is the benefit of the line format being character strings? Wouldn't a binary package not be just as easy translatable into human readable JSON formatted output as a compacted JSON string is?

One benefit is that I can look at an arbitrary file/response and be able to tell with a fairly high certainty whether it's JSON, YAML, or TOML, but there's no way that I tell whether it's messagepack, bson, or protobufs.
fucks sake dude. just do the work. you are wasting time even telling us your schedule. just do the work.
Use git and gitignore the node_modules folder. You shouldn't need to back up that directory, the package.json file should have all the required package info
You are right of course. There is still nginx taking care of everything. The point is that you need nothing but nginx/caddy/Apache.

Currently, I don't know any way how to initiate execution of scripts over http server so there is a systemd timer checking changes in files and recompiling the whole site. This has lot of downsides. The easiest would be if the static generator reacts on existence of a specific file - recompiles the site and removes the file afterwards.
How can't it be used for caching? Say you decode an image, then offer the memory backed by it to the OS. If you need to access the image data again you try to reclaim the memory, if it fails it's a cache miss.
Agreed but the competition is also well established.
I had the same experience, still use them. Most ball point pens are not archival safe anyway, so to remove the guess work I scan my important stuff with my phone's camera anyway. It's my go to method for creating a graph for what I'm writing anyway.

But if I were in uni or something and were forced to maintain multiple projects at the same time(modules) I would probably opt for something else.
Calling this open source is a bit of a stretch. At the heart of this phone there is a huge proprietary dependency (the Adafruit FONA module).
Time Machine seems like ripe for some kind of overhaul.

"The first backup is slow" is not a new bug in 10.15.3. I had that issue in at least 10.14 as well, and who knows which other versions. Time Machine GUI is great; but for backups off the device you need NetAtalk (which has been reverse engineered though). The TM GUI would've been great with ZFS back in the days, if that deal went through. It did not. APFS does not support deduplication.

There's a bunch of Time Machine GUI FOSS applications which are inspired by Time Machine GUI, for Linux. Not sure which one works best, or if they work on macOS.
ForgeFed: Federation protocol for interoperability with version control services
Well, being an engineer and understanding how fraught with problems AI is (well, it is not AI it is just ML), I would not be handing my life to the algorithm yet.

I understand these things are probably necessary step but maybe it shouldn't be possible for a car to drive in complex traffic without steering and focus of the human driver, yet.
Love this so much. The small display is also definitely something I'd like on a phone simply to display small information bits that then don't need the full powered up display.

On that note is there a good conversion (as in, make it into a USB keyboard) write-up for mechanical typewriters? I've seen one commercial kit before, but didn't follow through so far, even though I've got two still lying around.

Utter bullshit.
Time Machine has been broken for years.

Backing up to local storage, or through ethernet has worked, but when backing up via WiFi it routinely comes up with the "Time Machine needs to recreate your backup" message.

Furthermore Time Machine insisted (probably still does) on using the deprecated AFP protocol that even Apple no longer maintains.

A backup that cannot be trusted is not a backup, so years ago i switched to Arq Backup (https://www.arqbackup.com/) instead. While not as "polished" as Time Machine (Restore functionality could _really_ use some work) it actually works, and in all my years of using it, i have never experienced a failed repository.
Users can resolve trivial issues without knowing the internals though, so that wouldn't make sense.
As far as i can see the limit on Apple Pay is tied to your underlying card limit.

I settled a hotel bill for EUR1200.00 using Apple Pay. Totally painless; no card required.
Yes, filtering by multiple factors such as location, categor etc. is the most requested feature. It is nearly finished and will be available soon.
Exactly. I tried erasable pens in elementary school and they were more problems than they were worth. Dead tree carcasses are unfortunately "cheaper" than losing work. :'(

It is a religion, nothing "faux" about it. It fills the same needs, and uses the same mechanisms within the human mind as more traditional religion.

It is also completely bonkers, as it makes bold assertions about the real world, with which reality will eventually disagree, whereas older religions tended to keep their most dogmatic positions unfalsifiable (the afterlife, the soul, vague prophecies, ...)
In Denmark we've had a public payment card for a couple of decades now (Dankort). It's a no thrills, dump, payment card, but it is universally accepted, has no fees and virtually impossible to get into financial trouble with.

I have to admit, I welcome apple pay with a lot of sceptisism. In my perspective, a lot of innovation in payment over the recent years has been towards better ways of extracting value from basic transactions, or selling confusing products to financially illiterate consumer. With the exception of contactless and mobile payments, which our public solution has picked up as quickly as the commercial vendors.

I agree with you, but there is an entire field ( psychology ) predicated on the mind and brain duality. So perhaps they might view some or all emotional stress as "mental/psychological" stress not entirely tied to biological stress.
I am also concerned about the centralisation of everyone going to Let's encrypt. Yes they are non-profit but they are located in the United States and must follow US laws.
This is pretty much nonsense. Crew Dragon is a huge step from Cargo Dragon and its not like Boing has never before had money from the government to develop stuff like that.

The reason that Boeing gets more money is that companies could set their own price, and Boeing was very confident that they would be selected whatever the price.

And this came true, they set their price 1.5 billion higher then Sierra Nevada and got selected anyway.
Interesting, GCC 7.x seems to simply puts the cold branch on a separate nop-padded cacheline.

GCC 9 [1] instead moves the exception throwing branch into a cold clone of exitWithMessageException function. The behaviour seems to have changed on starting from GCC 8.x.

Having huge numbers of tiny files in the filesystem definitely has its toll. As I routinely handle multiple JavaScript codebases with complicated node_modules trees, to reduce the overhead I started wrapping relevant directory trees into sparse bundle images—that helped quite a bit.
I believe that MSVC in 64 bit mode also uses an (incompatible) table based unwind mechanism.

Apple Pay is great. Use it all the time as I usually have my phone in my hand, not my wallet.

Banks in the UK (incl. Monzo) have recently added security restrictions on contactless cards which means after they've been used contactless so many times (up to £100 I think) you have to use chip-and-pin to 'reset' the limit or you'll be declined. Monzo are quite good in the fact they give you a notification when you're due to chip-and-pin but it's still annoying.

Apple Pay doesn't have that restriction and is overall more secure with the FaceID/fingerprint security too.

Wonder what the stats are for Google Pay too

What? Never?

First of all I think old CPU instruction sets should be deprecated in finite time. Secondly I think a decade is a reasonable time frame to do it in. It too fast, not too slow.

I go my first 64-bit mac in 2006. Fourteen years later why should the Mac have to support the older slower way that doesn’t release the potential of the hardware?

I welcome a 64-bit only OS and haven’t suffered any loss from it.
