Same. You lose every cool program that happened to go unmaintained, and iTunes evaporates. If I do upgrade, I'm thinking about a Mojave VM for maintaining 32-bit support. The problem is I feel like Apple is throwing buckets of features into macOS without ever fixing anything and occasionally randomly breaking stuff that worked, so that the net result is always worse than before.
eventually there may be... https://github.com/python/mypy/tree/master/mypyc
A wide gulf exists between consciousness and neurons. There are many easy abstractions to make between the two and putting the stress from starvation and the stress from grieving a parent's death in the same bucket is pointlessly pedantic.
File system dates are stored in a locale dependent format?
I rather like that, `if condition` is a 0/1 iteration with no input. flatMap can return empty, what should map return when run on false, None?
Finally, a step away from flat design. At this rate, maybe in ten years we'll move on to a normal healthy relationship with skeumorpic inspired interface elements again.
This is probably my single biggest complaint. I spend an inordinate amount of time when writing Go doing tedious, fiddly stuff like this using loops and indexes and accumulators and stuff to perform extremely common operations that could be represented by a single word.
Author here (of that post and the framework).

The solution to the background limitations for now is running as a foreground service. This shows a persistent notification (which can be hidden by the user) but can then run indefinitely. The other option is to integrate this at the system level (via a custom rom, root, magisk, etc.).

> I'm curious to know if anyone is using this framework in the wild.

The client side implementation of this is still WiP, so it's not used yet in the wild. I hope to be at a point where I can work with some apps on integrating it there in the next few months.
I would never use those to write something important in a notebook. I did this and left it in my bag, the sun shone on the bag and because of the heat most of my notes got erased. Well because friction = heat, so it was the same thing.
Yes. Also a misprediction affects all instructions in flight after the branch, a floating point operation or slow load only affects instructions that depend on it.
Do you exercise on a regular basis and do you have sufficient in-person social contact?

The trade-offs you describe ring true to me, I'm in a similar situation. I'm not sure changing your office will be a permanent solution for you.
The underlying presumption for copyright is that the work was created by a legal concept called "natural person" which ties into the framework of "legal personhood".

One is a natural person simply by the mere fact of having been born. And that's what makes all the difference.

This idea pretty much the basis of large swathes of jurisprudence across the world, really.

AI, as such, is legally speaking no different from a simple pencil when it comes to writing a book. It's a tool through which a natural person creates a creative work thus establishing a copyright on the part of the natural person.

See, what most people fail to see is that copyright isn't tied to the creative work; it's tied to its creator. Hence why copyright seizes to exist some arbitrary amount of time (20, 40, 70 years) after the creator - a natural person - has died.

So, when you say "a neural network acquires copyright by itself when it generates a new creative work", you are forced to consider whether a neural network is a "person". Which is a can of worms in itself. (consider animals as persons - case: monkey selfie)

It's mostly about trust, but we have more reasons to trust Mozilla than other browser vendors - they consist of a community of people who care about their values, they've staked their reputation on those values, they are transparent, they're a legal non-profit, etc. Their financial statements are also public, and I don't think any income from ad networks has been found there.
But is this the entire thrust of their argument? That melodies constitute to smaller component of song to be copyrightable.

Them “copyrighting” every possible melody using a purely numerical method is just a way of showing how absurd some copyrights are. They’re abusing the mechanics of the copyright system to demonstrate its flaws.
I mainly comment in two situations:

When I wrote some weird code due to non-obvious reasons and want to clear up the reasoning; this makes later considerations easier.

Or when I had difficulties understanding the meaning of a snippet and want to make it easier to read and understand in the future.

I get why many people say comments are bad, but that doesn't mean you should never use them. And the "why" comments are definitely the most helpful ones in my opinion, I agree; one can easily look at the expressions and function calls and understand what's happening, but sometimes I want to know why the code adds 1 to some index, and a single short comment can clear that up. And if the reasoning was incorrect then that comment also tells you what to throw away.

I've been using Time Machine backups for years (company policy) via an external USB drive, and now that it's full and I only tend to remember it once every couple of months, a backup takes a full workday or more to run.

At the same time I've got Arq Backup running to back up my code folder (not everything in there is on accessible git remotes for me), but it's very heavy as well given the number of small files (code + git files). But at least it doesn't end up months out of date I guess.

Does anyone have a good backup solution for one's code folder? Large amount of small files (probably tens or hundreds of thousands. It's got a load of node_module folders as well I'm sure)
Strong disagree there. When forced to use Apple or Microsoft desktop environments i find they are a "tire fire" compared to stock gnome. Really. Not in the same ballpark of usability, polish, aesthetics, quality control.

Does it work the way you're used to? For me, yes. I'm used to it and used to a workflow using it. If you're used to something else, then no, you're not. The end.
Again that isn't customer facing value. Users do not care about the costs of your business, I cannot understand how so many developers don't seem to understand the basic premise of b2c relationships. At best it's the proposition of future benefits and those benefits are all to the company not the customer.
At least with the bank I use (bunq) I get notifications for such transfers and I need to manually approve them for the transfers to take place. If it's a recurring payment I can set it up so it automatically allows transfers up to a specified amount monthly.
Would you say if the data format was say JSON, YAML or TOML or any more human and bash friendly format it would have been easy to implement with your current experience?

Not to vouch for having Git store things in human format. But I often think about how inefficient JSON API's and YAML storage formats are (in parse time) just to be a benefit of a user debugging it or discovering the API through a browser. But since most people use a JSON prettifier plugin or a tool like Postman anyways, 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?
I like the concept of working on your favorite part of the project when you don't feel like it.

Great trick!
I moved to doing basically what you suggest at the end and would highly recommend it. I rent space in a shared office about 10 minutes walk from my apartment. I still have a desk and monitor at home if I ever feel like working there too.
You can use the a:link selector to only set the color of regular links that have not been visited yet. Visited links will keep their default color (purple or whatever color chosen by the browser or the user).

So: don't use a { color: ... }, use a:link { color: ... }
This is seriously cool! The device has an amazing set of features and functionality.

I am a bit surprised about the short battery time. I would expect that, without a display, the battery would last several weeks under normal usage.
Nitpicking. Fortran was designed in the fifties, the precursor to BCPL was designed in the early sixties, and C++ (C with classes) was originally designed in 1979, heavily influenced by Simula which also dates back to the sixties.

The time of the design of the language is different from actual implementations being made available. C++ compilers were pretty much unusable until the nineties.
Yes they can, if they backup everything (apart from the system) while running as a privileged user and files are quiesced too.

At least on GCC since 3.x, unwind info has been on a separate section. It is not even machine code (dwarf unwind opcodes are run by an interpreter), so it is unlikely to be in the instruction cache.

The unwind info might end up calling destructors or exception handlers, which might or might not be on a separate page. You are probably referring to that.
Swift and JS/TS are practically interchangeable compared to the high learning curve of actually using UIKit/Cocoa/CoreData/Xcode/etc and building applications with it.

I don't think language syntax is very consequential, especially Swift vs JS which really aren't all that far apart. What I yearn for when I build mobile clients is the ability to bring my own abstraction like I can on the web. Instead we're stuck with old-school overly-OOP abstractions on mobile without any truly compelling alternatives.

Like, the whole ViewController + delegation abstraction feels like using Backbone.js in 2020. SwiftUI is one step in the right direction, at least.
Well, we know that ants use their extended phenotype (pheromone trails) as part of their collective decision making processes. And we know spiders that use their extended phenotype (net) as part of their sensing apparatus. And we know that sensing and sensory processing are not clearly distinguishable.

Personally, TIL that there is already a name "extended cognition"/"extended mind" connected to the idea. I just wonder that neither Wikipedia article recognizes that this is clearly a subfield of the more general idea of the "extended phenotype".

I have an absolutely huge project folder split into hundreds of topics, and a master ToDo in Excel used as a kind of Kanban/white board, with development notes in Word.

It's clumsy AF - the Excel part works, the Word part could be better - but it's a working solution of sorts, with everything synced across all my devices so I can make some notes on my Macbook while out and then pick up the thread at my desk later.

I tried all the usual alternatives - Trello, Org Mode, paper notebooks, real white boards, and so on - and so far this is the most productive.
I use awk very often at my current job when analyzing our logs. I've been slowly compiling a list of useful shell pipelines, the majority of which involve awk. Any time I need to do some novel analysis, I can steal the syntax/ideas from myself

Two possibilities,

a) a faster spreading version of flu, which produces a greater overall quantity of severe cases, could be mistaken for a more virulent flu... which is what I believe most reports are doing now

b) the unprecedented lock down is because of the origins of the virus

I've actually switched back to using exclusively "low" DPI screens because I feel like it's just not worth the hassle. They're high enough resolution for me, maybe if I was a photographer or into video I'd care more about hidpi, but I just don't see the point.
oh wow, that is certainly different than the news video which I assumed was relatively unbiased

Anything close to an hour would have me thinking about moving closer.

On that note, I don't know if there's any research to it, but I feel like commute is an exponentially increasing nuisance. To illustrate: Moving from a 15 minutes commute to a 20 minutes commute will bring me less irritation than moving from a 55 minutes -> 60 minutes commute.
The real issue with Autopilot is that it is a 99.99% solution, which makes people feel safe. But actually 99.99% isn't good enough.

99.99% as in, roughly one in 10000 times when you take your attention of the drive (e.g. to soothe a child) you'll have an issue where you should intervene with the autopilot. The likelihood of someone actually having this happen this is low, let alone the number of times people don't notice and other drivers solve the situation. As such, many people feel totally comfortable doing it. At the same time, the roads would be a lot safer if people did not feel comfortable doing this stuff.

There is the note that, when you feel you absolutely have to take your attention of the road, having auto-pilot is a lot better than not having it. In the end, it is hard to say which of these effects is stronger. However, the fact that auto-pilot causes some people to not pay attention because they feel safe is simply a bad thing.
C++ had runtime checked exceptions, which aside for the except/noexcept case, were pretty useless (and never implemented by MSVC).

I'm a huge fan of checked exception, given a type system powerful enough to parametrize over them (C++ should be more than capable), so I'm looking forward to the development. Stroustrup is not a fan though and he might kill the effort.
NB: It's not VS that's forcing ReSharper to run in the same process. It's JetBrains refusing to listen to the VS team on how to build VS extensions that need plenty of resources since 2008 ... (they're finally considering it as of summer 2019, I think).

I am by no means an expert on this area of the law, but I think this is a really interesting topic that I tried to explore in a recent dissertation.

I think the issues come from the fact that copyright law really fails to represent the realities of creativity in humans. As you point out, the laws don't really address the fact that often the things we create are based on all of our experiences and consumption of creative works, yet a machine which can produce the same process may fall foul of the exclusive rights of reproduction and adaptation. Is it merely the fact that humans have consciousness which means that we are able to do this without violating copyright law?

At least in the US there is more flexibility around derivitive works, which give creators of derivitive works some avenue to enforce exclusive rights over their creations, or at least avoid claims from original rights holders. Here in the UK we really lack such a flexibility, with the only exceptions along the same lines being 'fair dealing' which is not really a fair comparison because it requires the derivative creator to jump through a bunch of hoops.

Having said that, I'm not sure derivative works are really a suitable legal definition for AI created works, but until we can have a conversation about the role of originality and creativity and the role of consciousness in those proesses, this imperfect definition will probably continue to be applied to those works.

Lawrence Lessig writes a lot about this sort of thing, if you are interested.

EDIT: Also the academic Omri Rachum-Twaig recently wrote a book called 'Copyright Law and Derivative Works: Regulating Creativity' which also covers a lot of issues that are interesting, such as the disconnect between the psychology of creativity and the structure of copyright law.

Not in the same ballpark of usability, polish, aesthetics, quality control.

We must be living in different universes ;). I cannot comment on Microsoft Windows, since I have never really used it.

I'm used to it and used to a workflow using it. If you're used to something else, then no, you're not.

For reference: I have used macOS since 2007 and GNOME since before 1.0.0. Mid 2000s GNOME 2 was really awesome. Sure, it had its problems, but from the perspective of usability and completeness it was awesome. For years Sun Microsystems poured money into GNOME 2 usability studies and improvements, because it was supposed to replace CDE on Solaris.

Edit: should add that I am waiting until KDE on Wayland is well supported on NixOS. I have recently tried KDE on X.org a bit and it seems like it would be a leap forward for me.
For whats worth the service was really good with N26, sad they had to move out of UK. I hope other companies does not follow their footsteps.
Yep, and it detected Herzberg in the roadway with plenty of time to spare.

"the car detected the pedestrian as early as 6 seconds before the crash"

"Uber told the NTSB that “emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while the vehicle is under computer control, to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior,” in other words, to ensure a smooth ride. “The vehicle operator is relied on to intervene and take action. The system is not designed to alert the operator.”" [1]

'Oh well it was very dark' is not a factor in the crash that killed Herzberg

Which is why Waymo never released half self driving technology, their early tests showed that even if they told Google engineers that they were being recorded and they'd be fired if they didn't watch the road, in a few weeks a lot of them trusted the software too much
I never owned a car, but going anywhere, anytime, at will is a very real thing and cars are the obvious solution. Humans are terrible at safe driving and self driving will eventually solve this. I don't see how this is not the future of transportation.
What telemetry do you mean? We are talking about data obtained from the iPhone (Screentime?), not from the Tesla.
This isn't one of the actual driving cameras, this is a shitty dashcam with variable exposure, with the footage then heavily compressed. This is not used at all for the self driving.

Just adding this if you think we should somehow give Uber the benefit of the doubt here. They released footage from a pinhole dashcam sensor that is not used by the system, knowing fully well it would be pitch black and send the ignorant masses into a "she came out of nowhere!" chant.
As a manager who frequents HN a lot, I really don't understand this 'why' and 'how' in comments and programmer reluctance to use them, all I see is just code comments, like notes.

Could one explain or provide examples these in a way I can understand?

I use Chrome to benchmark my local version of a website. The use case is very limited, because the results fluctuate a lot depending on the overall load on my machine (including the dev server), so I usually do three passes on the master branch of my project, get scores like 53, 56, 51, then switch to my development branch, three passes again, if I see e.g. 58, 56, 61 then it's fine, if the results are noticeably lower than master then time to investigate.

In any case we have a dedicated environment with lighthouse-ci and this is where the real pre-release benchmarks are executed.
Even if it stays at widely used as it is now for just two more years it'd already be worth the hour of effort.

What if Huawei was a US based company, and had allowed government to access backdoor to mobile networks globally, would US react the same?

Alternately you can replace US with EU and Huawei with NSA/FBI and think of the scenario and reaction/

I think, It should be a norm to opensource the equipment firmware Source and update mechanism so that they can be audited for the better of all. So even NSA/FBI/CHINA/ETC have hard time making backdoor.
You misunderstand the intention. You don't optimize LOC but you develop software as best as you can. You measure - among other things - LOC and this gives you at least some hard figures in the fuzzy software engineering universe. See it as the Hubble constant - it gives you answers about the universe provided you know it's value.

Then when it comes to understanding your software costs - it helps you to put some numbers to features. Yes it is dark art but so is all other financial magic. When it comes to maintenance or re-engineering software - LOCs and past numbers can be useful but are not the only determinant of future development costs. There is the agile backlog / planning poker school of thought which is certainly an improvement and valuable running the project but when it comes to large scale software projects it is not an answer I would like to rely on when the project needs a price tag before day one.

It is one metric. If you work in any company purely run on metrics - if you ask me - run once you see a better place. If you work in any company not measuring what it does - run now!
