Yeah, the numbers in the article are so far off my intuition that I'm happy to latch onto any explanation for why they're weird. Being unable to effectively discount bots seems likely.
Have you considered something like Yocto[0]? I've had good luck with it.

I think many people still worry about safety issues with bicycling, especially at higher e-boosted speeds. Technological advancements would have to include things like airbag helmets.
You shouldn't be downvoted. This exactly matches what most experienced troops report.
It doesn’t work on mobile at all.
You're ignoring the main point of the comment though:

> At most you can ban outcomes

You can also change incentives. If aggregating faces into a database makes you liable for the damage that happens when that database is used, the "Guatemalan farmer" (and any business that wants reasonably prices liability insurance) will go out of their way to avoid making that database.

Really, the problem is the question itself. A more specific requirement such as "make all the glyphs appear in reverse order" makes it a much easier problem (still tricky and full of edge cases, but conceptually simple).

"Reverse" is just too ambiguous when dealing with Unicode.
Bit surprised there's no example passing data between tasks in the graph. Are there common patterns for that?
Are you deliberately missing the point?

The point is that in this world of billions, there are enough who will like the way Google works to imply that Google is NOT doing anything special.
Google Analytics spies you? Lol. Those tools that you use daily on the browser that saves you time and makes your life easier got to that point because they had a way to learn how they were used. Seems that you don't make a difference between ad related tracking and product based tracking.
What sort of architecture, housing and commercial uses are going into those converted areas?
Here's something that political (either way) Americans will understand but not accept.

If your neighborhood has termites, sooner or later they will destroy your property too. It wouldn't matter if they started from the house of your friend or your enemy. If you have a neighbor who is deliberately raising termites, you forget about termites and neutralize that neighbor first.

America, both parties really, deliberately side with the bad guys and later give excuses when things work out against them.

I wouldn't name names but it's not hard to guess who in this particular context is the neighbor raising termites.

Comparing to 90s to today isn't fair to today. The 90s were a golden era (well, at least 92-99). Compare the 70s to today. Some thing are better, some things are worse, it probably balances out.
Force people to stop asking the most experienced person to answer questions or solve problems.

Have people document how they diagnosed problems after fixing it, including queries for searching logs.

Thank people for documenting things.
Not super familiar with the topic, how does this affect GraphQL?
Yes, I expect them to do manual user research. And “making the users pay” is the wrong way to frame this - product pricing and labor aren’t that tightly correlated.

Besides, When we bought magazines the editors didn’t know what stories people were reading or what words you were spending more time reading. When you buy a tool the manufacturer doesn’t know how you use it. Why software gets a free pass at getting all that data for free without asking is beyond me. What I expect are for regulations to eventually hit this industry.

I'll focus here on the knowledge of the key people you're about to lose. Ideas:

* If they're good at documenting, and willing to, task them to do as much of that as possible. The documenting might be in adding code comments and API docs, writing separate text files, etc. The person might not be able to document off-the-cuff, but have to work through a topic slowly, such as going through and re-understanding some old code themselves, going through a manual process that they do automatically and reflecting on the whys, etc.

* If some of the information is amenable to giving a talk to other employees, with a Q&A section, that might work, too.

* Another option is to have another employee interview the person leaving about one or more topics, and either type notes as they go, or record it and get a transcription. The interviewing person should be able to understand the topics.

* For tasks the person leaving does, you could have other people do the tasks while the person leaving is available for questions, and one of them documents as it goes. Depending on the task, it might make sense to have the knowledge-holder right there, both answering and observing, rather than only available for questions on-demand.

Side suggestion about accessibility/discoverability/maintainability of all this new documentation: consider keeping the medium simple, and avoiding a proliferation of locations, formats, a dozen bullpoop communication SaaSes, etc. For most software work, for example, inline embedded source code comments and API docs can be an easy way to try to keep a lot of information accessible in context and maintained. Some other information that doesn't fit well in source code, such as ops architecture and procedures, might be Markdown files in that same code repo, or another one. The occasional video file you just can't check into git might be a rare indispensible one, but can still be linked from a Markdown file that's in your repo, but even then, maybe you also have a text transcript in the repo, or someone turns a talk into edited docs in the repo.

Incidentally, much earlier in organizational knowledge sharing, I vaguely recall a study by a consulting firm (sorry, no cite handy, and I'm not 100% sure I remember which big-name firm), in which they found that people were resistant to having their knowledge captured in a system, because that knowledge was an asset of the individual. Your key people leaving might be more altruistic than that, want to help out their colleagues, want to have a good word-of-mouth reputation, have a sense of professionalism about it, have equity in the company, etc. You might like them to do knowledge transfer to a degree that's really above&beyond the call, so consider how you might acknowledge and thank them for that. It might also be a good example for others, and promote more proactive good practices for organizational knowledge.

Transparency is not worth it if a lot of people agree with you? Transparency is not worth it if it's something you care deeply about?
This is why I have largely abandoned documenting procedures and instead write down "principles". As long as the principle is adhered to, the embodiment doesn't really matter.
I did enjoy the article. It was quite clear but it made me wish for a bit more. Unlike the Rust article I didn't see any thing that suggested how golang might be special. I did see your suggestions for further reading though. I'll check them out.
It's too new for me to have any meaningful advice. The transition has some bumps as I was trying to figure out the Heroku ecosystem (e.g. how to install a python package from a private pip repo, how to use a google credentials file, how to schedule scripts and test them, etc.)

I looked into app engine a few years ago, but it felt more restrictive at the time.
Write write write and keep writing. Then expect to do 10x as much reading. It's exhausting and definitely relies heavily on employees' writing and reading comprehension skills.

HashiCorp produces a mind boggling amount of prose (non-code text). Every employee can read every RFC going back to the first sketch of terraform which was completely rewritten in a second revision. Mailing lists are alive and well. PR descriptions and discussions are often longer than the code being changed.

No other company I've worked at has had this dedication to recording decisions, and all of them have struggled heavily with losing institutional knowledge. HashiCorp isn't perfect, but I want all future employers to at least pretend they're remote-first as that seems to be the forcing function for writing everything down.

Update: while writing skills are helpful they're definitely secondary to just ensuring knowledge is splatted down somewhere in some form. Perfect is absolutely the enemy of good enough, and I'd rather struggle to gleen knowledge from an unformatted readme in a deep dark corner than have nothing at all.

Excerpt:

How is UNIX an IDE?

"The primary rationale for using an IDE is that it gathers all your tools in the same place, and you can use them in concert with roughly the same user interface paradigm, and without having to exert too much effort to make separate applications cooperate. The reason this becomes especially desirable with GUI applications is because it’s very difficult to make windowed applications speak a common language or work well with each other; aside from cutting and pasting text, they don’t share a common interface.

The interesting thing about this problem for shell users is that well-designed and enduring Unix tools already share a common user interface in streams of text and files as persistent objects, otherwise expressed in the axiom “everything’s a file”.

Pretty much everything in Unix is built around these two concepts, and it’s this common user interface, coupled with a forty-year history of high-powered tools whose users and developers have especially prized interoperability, that goes a long way to making Unix as powerful as a full-blown IDE."
I find Flutter and Dart horrendous for apps. So many lines of code, so many things to check. I much preffer Swift approach or web approach is way more interesting.

Try Firefox mobile with ublock origin. I wish more Android users knew about this.

Sidenote: ads on sites degrade the experience so badly, whenever I browse without adblock I am honestly shocked at how bad it is, and I am amazed others don't seem to care.
It isn't that hard to get around ad blockers for doing analytics.

You can hide third party tools behind a proxy for example or write your own custom tracking software.
Is this the same guy who got fired (or resigned?) from Google a week after getting hired for something silly like refusing to sign the employee code of conduct?
This is great and +1 to Phil Sturgeon for pushing for this fix. He wrote a great blog post about it a while back which pointed me to a library[1] that helped my team manage the problems with OpenAPI schemas. Nice to see this situation finally in a better place.

Come to the US, CA or NY specifically, there's gluten-free food everywhere. I wouldn't say there are whole stores, but there is a long aisle and many cultures of food to choose from. Organic gluten-free. Organic gluten-free vegan. Amy's makes a bunch of (yum!) non-GMO, organic, gluten-free and vegan food. https://amys.com

A guy I worked with only discovered at 32 he had Crohn's (not celiac but potentially terrible too) his entire life when he ended up in the hospital and started turning shades of green.

Personally, I have IBS, as my grandmother did, so gluten isn't the best for me (doubled-over and long boughts HNing from the toilet) but I eat it sometimes anyhow. I'm vegetarian (not vegan) and gluten-minimal, and don't have any trouble finding food here in the SF Bay Area.
"I think this is why technical people say it’s helpful to have a manager who acts as a sounding board."

You are saying the usefulness of a manager is the same as, say, a stuffed octopus. I think this is illustrative of a cultural gap. Someone else might claim that all of the interesting and challenging problems in business are management problems that technical people as such don't even acknowledge.
Yeah, sorry about that. I made the minimum width around 1000 pixels (you can check the body selector in the CSS). I might try fixing that soon, although I'm still a beginner so I might not be able to just yet. You can probably tell that the CSS isn't very well written: there are unused variables, constants everywhere, and the animation is very hacky. This is because I made this page to mainly to practice my CSS skills.
It looks like even before this peace deal, they managed to wrest back control of much of the country, especially the rural Pashtun-majority areas.

Using Infectious Disease Modelling to Understand Public Policy Spread
I'm fascinated that it never occurred to you to STAY HOME and stop infecting everyone in your office with whatever you have, COVID-19, flu, or something else.
Then you would expect for Chrome to show a higher number of GA blocking "users". But that's not the case: the article mentions that the percentage of users blocking GA on Chrome is on par with Safari.

And I don't know what you mean by "serious". The most common crawlers (Google, Baidu, Yandex, etc) identify themselves as bots on the User-Agent very clearly. Personally, those are the ones that I'd call the most "serious". And also the ones which I've seen generating the most on servers.
the world consumption of lots of those products is also expected to drop when other countries start to deal the virus themselves.
Expect at least 5% of traffics are bots if you have a large amount of traffics.
Yes, I think I might have mixed up stats of different kinds (Posting too late at night, sorry).

However, the point stands that fatality rates will likely go up a lot if medical resources are overwhelmed. Long-term lung damage is also another risk for younger people and its rate will also go up.
> No one ever suggested it was never going to spread in America. The quarantine was to TRY to prevent it from getting here, but you can only do so much.

In an earlier post you wrote, "There's less testing overall because there's less risk because the US government quarantined it so well." If the US government did so well at quarantine that they didn't need to do any surveillance testing, how is it now spreading outside of quarantine? Your statement is an assertion that the government has stopped it from spreading, by the logic that they wouldn't need to test outside of quarantine. So yeah, you did suggest it.

> Once it is here we will treat it. There are plenty procedures in place since 9/11 to handle these things properly.

There is no treatment that is known to work. There are four or five that are, or are approaching, clinical trials. The one that looks most promising to me is being used in a trial in Wuhan.

> The longer we held the quarantine the more time we had to prepare. We've done really well thanks to the early travel bans that the media was against.

We have no idea when the quarantine broke. We just know we've had several cases of people in hospitals who were sick and had no clue who they got it from. It could have been a single carrier, or they could be representing a thousand people who are just beginning to develop flu-like symptoms... We just don't know. Not enough data.

> > Paranoia is warranted at this point.

> Stop fear mongering.

I will monger fear when I think it's necessary; an illness that doubles the number of infected every 6 days, has no cure or treatment, has a death rate higher than swine flu, and takes a median of 4.5 days to even show symptoms scares the hell out of me, and it should scare the hell out of you too. And if you think the government "has this under control", you've obviously never worked for them. I did for nearly a decade, and they take months to get their heads out of their asses.
I thought consensus had formed that gluten intolerance didn't exist, and any sort of ibs like reaction was due to fodmap carbs, not gluten protein.

Since the creator of the site's here, just FYI that Highland Park is a suburb about 25-30 miles north of Chicago and isn't actually in Chicago.
Maybe we should we whitelisting for analytics. Instead of perpetually trying to identify bots, Pick the 20% of your users who you are pretty sure are actually humans. Nielsen-style, if you will.

Maybe two cohorts. The people we're really sure about, and the ones we're pretty sure about. If they diverge, ask why.
Thanks for the correction, I will update that.
Common Python Design Patterns (2020)
Over the past two weeks I have seen Shopify, Flipkart, Microsoft Office, Coinbase and others officially throw their weight behind React Native.

I'm also seeing the Expo.io project (ready made starters for React Native) mature to production quality extent.

At this point, I'm seeing a massive production scale behind React Native which doesn't exist in the Flutter world.

Plus the elephant in the room - React. How do you compete against that ? Incidentally, Flutter was inspired by React.

At this point, if I had to take a bet - React Native would win against Flutter definitely. There will still be a massive Java/Kotlin userbase...but I don't see why Flutter will exist in a even-Microsoft-Office-is-using-React-Native world.

Exactly. The current mortality rate is predicated on the fact that people with confirmed cases are getting complete medical care. Instead it would be clearer if this were indicated as a given only because of the circumstance that there are still enough hospital beds for everyone being infected.

The more important factor is the hospitalization rate. If enough people become sick and hospitals become overloaded with patients they cannot treat to recovery faster than the virus spreads, there would be no choice but to send them elsewhere and the mortality rate would drastically increase. There are only so many professional medical staff but the virus has no limits on the amount of people it can spread to, and it sounds like the amount of continually attended medical care necessary for complete recovery is substantial.

Combine that with the fact that licensed virologists are giving estimates of 40-70% of the global population becoming infected, and I'm beginning to question why nobody in my immediate circle is taking this as an imminent and serious threat to their health.
> they can't prove they have standing,

The plaintiffs in Clapper v Amnesty would have standing if the program worked as you described. No documents have ever been released saying the program works as you described, including the documents Snowden leaked after that case. If such docu6were released, the case would be relitigated. Here is an article describing how it actually works, linking to multiple sources: https://www.cnet.com/news/no-evidence-of-nsas-direct-access-...

> "it would be illegal and shutdown like the other illegal programs documented here if it were actually illegal"

How did one illegal program turn into multiple "illegal programs"? How do you come up with this stuff?
Online shopping needs money.

They are general purpose computers; this does apply to most products with a processor. However, there are practical differences in what you can implement on an iPhone compared to a tiny embedded CPU with a few kB or MB of RAM.

So by that standard, an Apple //e with 128KB of RAM and 1Mhz processor wasn’t a general purpose computer?

Transferring ownership of property is the very definition of "selling" something. If Apple want to restrict what people do with their device, they shouldn't be selling it. They can rent/license it, and a very different set of laws would apply

So does the same rule apply to game consoles? My TV with an embedded Roku?
Well it could become a progressive web app.. can u grant camera access to one? U for sure can upload a photo right?
Then create a custom endpoint that records those client side interactions in a database.
Not irony at all, the analogy still fits. I can defy vehicle towing restrictions, I can weld extra metal to the sub-frame, I can fit a larger radiator to the engine and stiffer springs to the rear axle. I can do many things to make my subcompact crossover physically capable of towing a large load.

And I can jailbreak an iPhone.

I was not talking about tech but production in general. China manufactures a lot more than the tech we use. And also provides materials for production in other countries. For example a jacket or clothes manufacturer in another country might be getting its buttons, zippers etc from China so even their production will slow down or stop.
Seems like somewhat ambiguous semantic garbage to me. Especially when there is a much clearer three letter word to use (all) that would actually communicate the the point of the question.
I worked in the finance industry and took the mandatory 2 week vacation and dealt with my coworkers taking the mandatory 2 week vacation.

We didn't write any documentation or have any internal wiki or anything like that, and everything seemed fine.

I also find it pretty questionable that someone couldn't write a computer program that can embezzle unattended for two weeks. You don't use your own credentials, you stick it in some other program and have it use the logged-in user's credentials. Are you auditing your HR system before you log in, and are you sure that the "ls" you're invoking is the same "ls" that actually came from Debian? No? Then it all seems very pointless to me.
Legal self defense is a thing, at least in my jurisdiction. So I don't think the government has a monopoly on violence.

Also, your opinion on what is murder is arbitrary. All your criticism really is is, "I don't like the definition currently used". That doesn't contain any reason why it should be modified or how or describe any principle.
