The point of article isn't so much about physical vs. virtual testing, but about blindly trusting inherited code.

Bad example. ls and friends are meant to be typed constantly and therefore need to be short.
You could go for audio feedback at least? https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring
A one-pass compiler for a subset of C, relying on a recursive-descent parser, doing the lexing, parsing and code generation in lockstep. The generated code, consisting of abstract machine instructions, is then executed by an instruction fetch and execute loop.

BTW, the code looks relatively short because many semicolon-separated statements are crammed on a single line, and short variable names make that somewhat manageable and even visually symmetric. If you were to unfold it with each statement on its own line, I guess it would be at least 3 times the size.
I'm convinced that hedge funds and venture capitalists are against this because it will require their own investors to have a certain level of knowledge about their investments that makes the managers uneasy.
That is a popular soundbite meme but "product" is a mislead conflation as a rhetorical bludgeon.

The people using their search engine are really more customers who pay input for service. The company sustains itself by processing the product and selling it to another group of customers pay- which is a significant difference as they have agency.

Look at the game free to play model and why pay to win is doomed to failure. There may be "whales" - the customers who pay signficant ammounts of cash but the demand the free players as content effectively. If a pay to win content is sold and drives off the free to play the whales will follow for lack of content. Proper "product" would be game AI or employees as a "rented" or "spoiling" product equivalent. The free players are customers who provide input mediated through the game server to create a product which is sold to cash customers.

Despite the dystopian rhetoric the input customers aren't like livestock because they aren't transfereable, have the agency and can meaningfully opt out.

Bing can't just buy 10 m billion users from Google to try to improve their user base. They need to get their user base directly no matter how they reach them.
Unlikely. They’re only interested in businesses that use software to scale with enormous margins. Consulting scales with salaries. Software scales nearly infinitely.
I think in this case, the point of the website the OP posted their passage to is to receive highly critical feedback to ensure 100% accuracy and learn from mistakes. I doubt the person correcting them was doing so with the spirit you describe here. Also, word choice is a bit subjective and perhaps the disagreement with the other poster you're replying to is regional or something else.
I was recently testing a commercial FEA package that uses Intel MPI libraries. It is 30% faster on an i7 vs the equivalent core/clock AMD.

Another FEA package that does not use Intel libraries has no measurable difference between the two processors.

Waiting for the i10 to come out, with the 5.2 GHz boosted clock, as most of my software has diminishing returns after 4 cores.
I don't understand what you mean. The women who have testified against Assange are alive and well. One (Anna Ardin) is a public figure and both are active in Swedish left-wing politics. The idea that these women would be part of a conspiracy to frame Assange is ludicrous as they both supported Assange's cause. Their testimonies are public knowledge and if they didn't agree with what is written in the records, it would be easy for them to protest it.

Also, you have to offer me some evidence that Swedish authorities can easily fabricate evidence and witness testimony and that it happens all the time. Not that I know how it is relevant since the witness testimonies in Assange's case are clearly not fabricated.
Dentistry is practiced in a wider variety of ways than medicine: Most dentists would agree that things like drilling teeth at the gumline "to relieve pressure" and then accusing the patient a year later of having taken up meth because "look at all these cavities you have now!" isn't good.

If this was doctors, I'd expect other doctors to do something about their fellow practitioner. Dentists seem to view that as rude, after all, "he's been in business for a while," and he creates so much work for them.

I have to say dentistry is Market based.
Two separate Nvidia cards, not SLA'ed.
Claiming that the market has failed in a industry that has been utterly dominated by government and that was never actually a real market is pretty rich. This started out as basically a state monopoly that was then partially privatized but local monopoly laws were held in place.

Just throwing more money at utterly gridlocked system is not the solution.
I personally hated the ribbon in Excel, not least because it resulted in changes to all the shortcut keys. That killed productivity significantly for me and my colleagues on my trading desk. We got used to it eventually, but it was not fun in the slightest.

One bank that has astoundingly bad password requirements is Westpac Australia. Usernames are an 8 digit customer ID, and passwords have to be exactly 6 characters long(!) consisting only of numbers and uppercase letters. Try it for yourself, note that the login form only allows you to enter 8 characters for the username and 6 characters for the password:

Based on what? I see a lot of strong comments here, but little reasoning.

Shell companies are not normally used for structuring. That's a different matter entirely. A shell company is usually a holding company, not a company created in order to deceive or to bypass a hard cap on some scarce resource.
Time spent isn’t the same as addiction though. The grossness of Facebook is not that people spend too much time on it (though they may), but what content they see, how they are encouraged to engage with it, and the effect it has on people’s world views and psychological health.

The addiction component would be the constant concern with either how you are perceived on the platform or outrage with what others are saying.

I see precisely nothing they’ve done to increase the well being of people who are constantly tilted by the dumbest political garbage.

1. He was not accused (by Swedish, UK, or US authorities) of being a horrible person, and if he were, they'd be laughed out of court.

2. Even if what you said was provably true (which, to stress, it is not. Go read the article I linked) then none of what you listed would justify stripping him of his fundamental rights like access to a lawyer, protection from cruel and unusual punishment, etc.

3. You totally fail to mention the rest of the context like... oh I don't know... that he published documents that clearly and without a doubt documented war crimes and others crimes that had wilfully been covered up.

Microsoft have best most fascinating documentation in some cases. It can be fantastically detailed, while being completely useless at the same time.

Take their Azure Python API, which is clearly translated directly from C#: There's a number of functions, which according to the documentation takes a string as an input. The thing is that it won't actually take a string, it will take three or four predefined strings. Everything else will yield no result. The only thing Microsoft doesn't care to put in the documentation is which strings are actually valid and what result you can expect from them.
I recommend reading the first commit in the git git repo
Also, many people here are kind of missing the point. The OP posted that for the express purpose of receiving corrections and feedback. People are criticizing the corrector for performing the task that was requested of them — likely on a website dedicated to this practice of written correction...

Local market regulation is what is blocking any competition. The absurd believe people have that whenever something isn't working, markets will need more regulation is so absurd.

> I don't consider myself FUCKING SMART, quite the opposite, especially at that company with those coworkers who were despite the sound of it actually really smart, but unlike my coworkers I had not accepted the situation but felt that there must be something to do to improve it.

This is the secret sauce. The impulse to solve the higher order problem and the willingness to question fundamental assumptions in order to arrive at a solution.

Your non-10x devs might have attempted to optimize the DOS system, or maybe even introducing some kind of caching and just lived with the somewhat mitigated performance.
Sure, unrealistic. But legit. And I'm not sure much rage was involved.
Personally I find the "edit without peer review" too powerful, since you can do it for any question, regardless if you're supposed to be competent there or not; it would be better if it was limited for tags where you've got a bronze badge. Perhaps it's the lack of oversight which makes me a little wary. And 2000 rep isn't that hard to achieve, it just requires some persistence.

With software, you can pretty much know in advance what will work, ROUGHLY how much it will take and how much it will cost.
With ML you have a high chance that ML will not work at all for your problem, or that YOU won't be able to solve it.

I'm a java developer and during my first 3 years I was able to investigate bugs not only in my code, but inside jboss or hibernate ORM; I can look up core java code and understand it just fine.

How many of the ML self-taught crowd can write framework-level code, or debug a ML algorithm bug?

Fooling management wanting to get into ML with some scikit code is easy, mastery of ML is orders of magnitudes harder than mastering a programming language/frameworks.

Am I the only one annoyed by the fact that the main loop has a series of if..else instead of a giant switch statement?

But yes, many people rely on parsers and VMs without really knowing how it works and assume some black magic, whereas it can be really simple and elegant.
This isn't the way UX design works. You have an objective, test it and measure the outcome. You implement a sensible default and work out if a preference to change it is needed.

If you want to stay with this bank, you should should create a password from a strong one way military grade hash. This way, you can still more or less recreate the password, but if it's lost it tells nearly nothing about the original password you came up with, especially if you applied a salt (and/or pepper) to it.
This is crazy. Why do you need fast internet away from ground based infrastructure?

That's the problem. They cannot.

Multiple analyses of drug-dog alerts have consistently shown alarmingly high error rates — with some close to and exceeding 50 percent. In effect, some of these K-9 units are worse than a coin flip."

Wouldn't the compiler optimize it either way?
I do agree that `tk` is an unusual abbreviation, but `tok` for `token` is pretty common in language implementations. `ty` for `type` is also usual.

The names are not only read but also being manipulated in your mind. You will see tons of `token`s and `type`s throughout the code and while you can read them fine you will have hard time dealing with them in your mind. For uncommon names that are usually read out of the context, longer names are preferred. For common names or local enough names, short mnemonics that evoke the original name really help. When it is not possible, people usually develop a specialized terminology for them.

Advertising has specific legal limits on what is deceptive. You can say ‘worlds best’ because that’s considered a subjective and meaningless statement, but lying about objective facts gets you into hot water. For example, peanut butter is legally required to have been made from peanuts.
It's interesting though because an amateur slapped it together quickly rather than an entire industry over decades.
Insightful, but that is unidimensional and clearly not sufficient to define civilization. What other perspectives we should consider? Do you think we need to leave out some that might come quick to mind, such as "complexity", "specialization", etc.?

I heard in highschool that scale is the big issue with civilization. Anarchy, for example, can work up until people start not knowing themselves (I heard 200 then; I'd argue that this corresponds or is near of Dunbar's number 150 [1]. I don't think this was known by my teacher then, as this was first proposed in 1990 according to wikipedia).

Perhaps the articles from 1971 that get reposted today represent the top 1% of articles from then, making articles from then seem so much better than now?
I presume this toggle applies to all windows and tabs. As an example, if some page uses a meta refresh tag to periodically refresh it and also has JS (which wasn’t loaded before), the JS would get loaded at a future point when it’s enabled through this option (though it may be for some other tab in focus that the user enabled it for)?

A per tab setting that remembers the JS enabled state would be very useful, with the default being JS disabled.

One of the things Teller (the magician) talks about is that while obviously you do want the audience to be "fooled" in some sense - that's what they're paying you for - you don't want to do that by straight lying to them. Where's the fun in that?

The goal is to create a scenario in which the audience knows they were tricked but can't figure out how. So you don't lie and say this is a random audience member when it's actually an employee "stooge". But when you're giving the genuinely random audience member a "free choice" of cards you don't need to explicitly tell the audience that, duh, as a magician you're not giving anybody a truly "free choice" of anything actually and you knew immediately which card they picked even without seeing it. That sort of thing.

Regarding GDPR, I think IPs are considered “personal data” if you can identify the user from it.

Well, my understanding is any data is ‘personal data’ if you can use it to identify a user, can be combined to identify a user or can be aggregated to an identified user.
In my understanding 50.1 % attacks are less of an issue here as they would be easy to spot since individual parties still have the old blockchain when the adversary publishes the new one, so by comparing them the forgery could always be reconstructed (if not averted).

As far as I understand this is a problem for Bitcoin because even temporary forging of the chain allows the adversary to double-spend funds, and once they are exchanged for real-world money/services they're gone. For an audit chain this shouldn't be a problem as it's only for logging and there is no monetary value tied to the chain. Also, the chain could be anchored with a traditional trust model and wouldn't need to be completely trustless like Bitcoin.
I, as a non-native English speaker, disagree.

> Is there a law against clear text passwords

In Europe GDPR covers that, many big websites started hashing after it

Edit: could somebody explain the downvotes? The comments seem to agree with me

Obviously GDPR is not a law about plain text passwords, but as the comments say it forces "the use of an appropriate hashing algorithm to store your passwords, protecting the means by which users enter their passwords, defending against common attacks and the use of two-factor authentication." etc.

> The coronavirus deaths so far have been long, drawn-out affairs compared to the recoveries

No, it took until several weeks into the epidemic until the number of recoveries exceeded the number of deaths.

> We know China has been undercounting deaths as well as cases

All deaths are counted, people don't just leave corpses lying around, although it is true that many coronavirus deaths were likely misclassified. By comparison, if someone gets a mild case (80%+ probability) and recovers at home, they'll never get recorded in any stats.

> it was aggressively stamped out via contact tracing

In some countries like Singapore, yes. But in countries like Thailand and Mexico, contact tracing was haphazard to nonexistent, and epidemics still failed to materialize.

I don't have a strong opinion, but also think that mine would be irrelevant anyways -- isn't what matters most here the research they have undoubtedly done to understand how the UI affects their various customers and their needs?

The certainty people often have as to UI design is amusing in light of how successful this line of products has been, as if their small and selfish opinion (or mine!) could somehow be more correct than the millions these guys have invested in getting this right. And not to the problem they or I _personally_ have, but to the problem of shipping a product used by probably billions of people across hundreds of cultures.

I have no doubt that if you (or I!) were in charge of design, guided only by our personal opinions, the product would have completely failed.
