I don't know. I just tried to briefly check it out again. I'm sure I could be giving it a fairer chance.

Clearly, millions of people are benefiting from this app.

I'm just finding the features and interface very bombarding. And, the sheer number of screen taps just to study the flash cards in the manner that I'd like (and even then, not fully within my perceived control) is pretty repelling.

Thank you for pointing that out that feature. It might help eventually with conversion.
Feed reader support for JSONFeed (Brent Simmons and Manton Reece, jsonfeed.org) is quite unclear at the moment; maybe only iOS Reeder apart from NetNewsWire?

It's a pity, as Web feeds in JSON can be produced in a more ad-hoc fashion – an even more simple format with one entry per JSON feed line (admittedly with redundancy across lines) would have been great, too.
Registrars normally have terms of service that allow them to cancel domains at their own discretion.

Now here's a registrar that's made aware that the domains are used for a crime.

While I agree that registrars should not be tasked to proactively check and police domain content, it's a bit different to receive proof that a customer is doing criminal activities and to say you need a court order to do anything?

The handing out of personal data is a bit more sensitive, but I would assume FB is already involving the police in the process. Not to hand data to FB seems fine, not to hand data to the involved police force seems like you might be actively helping them to hide/keep the crime going (again, assuming that the scam/crime is obvious).
I'll try to remember the attribution as well as the aphorism in future, thanks :-)
I think what's really prevented RSS from recovering after the death of Google Reader is the cultural shift toward content farms. Most news sites have started to publish as many articles as possible to drive as much ad revenue as possible; unfortunately, most RSS platforms still treat every entry in a feed as equally important as another. IOW, if you add something like Engadget to your feed reader, be prepared to be flooded by nothing but their content.

This is what Facebook and Twitter are good at and why people are choosing it for consuming news: they recommend relevant content. If feed readers are to take off today, I think figuring out a way to promote posts from my feeds that I'd find relevant is key; this sounds like something Fever[1] was good at, although I was never interested in self-hosting it.

Sidenote: it seems like an obvious play for Facebook/Twitter to add a toggle to filter their algorithmic feeds to just news to become a hub for personalized information.

Being able to pay through cards and phones is super convenient, but cash should never not be an option.

Card companies, payment apps and banks are constantly tracking your purchases and profiling you. This data can be leaked/stolen/sold, and is always available to governments and those in/with power.

Cash is (almost completely) anonymous. You should always be able to pay with cash if you want.

Healthcare - which affects all of us and is 18% of GDP - is by far the most underserved by software. It is a bad version of the 90's for doctors, nurses, patients and everyone else. There are a number of firms that are trying to make this better.

Well that's easy to remember, L=lethal and S=silent. But I imagine there is a prosaic explanation for the haplotype naming. Anyone know what the L and S stand for? Googling hasn't turned up anything for me.

You've listed a ton of tools, but not every office employee uses those, and I hope that payroll software isn't costing $1000 per employee/year.

To get to those large numbers, you'll need to hand-pick companies that have few non-specialized employees.
If you have already expertise in Aviation in-house - why not aviation. It's currently still a very slow moving industry but spacecrafts were once too.

That article is out of date. In large parts of central Stockholm, you can't pay by cash. Legal tender is just words, if they don't take cash there's not much you can do.
The article doesn't mention the school district has closed down for two weeks. Prior to closing the school, the absentee rate for students was 20%. So it's a mix of institutions closing and people self-quarantining.
Its a bold headline, but as the article explains, its not actually very many Swedes who seem to be 'rebelling'.

People I know are trying to get pensioners they are 'responsible for' to stop carrying and using cash, as its far higher risk.

I don't personally know of anybody rebelling against the cashless society, not in any age group. Its not even talked about.

On the other hand, 'do you take swish' (a phone-to-phone payment method) is asked all the time. Lunch with friends? Instead of everyone ordering separately, just order together, and divvy it up with Swish when you get the bill. Etc.

I have a single banknote folded up my wallet, just for emergencies, and I haven't used it this year yet.
Fortunately, much of the world is more enlightened than this, and its legal systems do favour the privacy of employees over the voyeuristic ambitions of bad management under normal circumstances. In many places, the idea that you have no entitlement to personal privacy just because you are working for someone else would be widely derided.

There are often special cases in the laws for when covert monitoring is genuinely justified, for example when there is a reasonable suspicion of wrong-doing by an employee or there are serious security concerns that legitimately require stronger measures. But intrusive surveillance by default, even of employees using company resources on company time, is not permitted in these jurisdictions.
So basically in order to coordinate activities across time zones (rare), you give up having a common rough time system for waking, eating, shopping, etc. And as you said, users can “look up” their time relative to the normal on a website, which means that now people have time zones, just without any of the benefits.
So how do poor people function in a cashless society?

Currently none.

Android uses its own dialect, RenderScript.

iOS had OpenCL, but since Metal got introduced, Metal Shaders are much better.

On Windows I used C++AMP for a while, now I just make use of Java/.NET libraries that plug into CUDA.

OpenCL biggest mistake was focusing on C only instead of opening the programming model to other languages.

They have bank accounts and debit cards like everyone else? In Sweden everyone can get Visa and Mastercard debit cards so you can even do internet purchases everywhere with them.

If you mean how they transfer money between each other, they just use smart phones and Swish. Beggars even ask for money that way.
Thank you! I’ll have a look at your videos!
Having worked in several related areas, but not very recently, the costs for specialist software packages were certainly much higher than people think of for basic office software, but nowhere near the scale we're talking about here. Have things truly become so crazy that five-figure annual fees for these packages are the norm? A permanent licence used to cost less per user than that! But then I suppose this is the point the article is making.
If they faked the data, they would downplay it just like other bureaucracies who don't want to hurt the economy.
The key is speed. As long as extensive tests and quick actions have been done, and hospitals are not overwhelmed, then there shouldn't be big problems. KR and JP will be fine.
You got it wrong, it is like CUDA but only supports C, has lousier debugging tools, and buggy drivers.

Yes it does support C++ and finally has its own bytecode format for heterogeneous programming, but unless the card is OpenCL 2.2, it is back to my first paragraph.
True, #2 is not always feasible, but lol the dev can damn well try :P
Well, they get a bank account and a debit card connected to that account. It's usually free/very cheap in Sweden.

As far as I understand it, the 'underbanked'-situation present in the U.S. for poor people is not present in Sweden.

I would only add that in the extraordinary case of a legal investigation, there's still no room for vigilante spying by the employer themselves. Presumably, law enforcement would take necessary steps to intervene, not the employer.
Bash already has autocomplete and there are shells with richer feature sets.

What I would like to see is something like CLUI to be integrated with an IDE or a productivity tool like Adobe Photoshop. PyCharm/JetBrains already embraces the keyboard with double-Shift => Search Everywhere, and other similar shortcuts. Similarly, Photoshop would benefit from keyboard interaction for common tasks. We already have single-pixel nudge actions via the arrow keys, but a CLI prompt you could conjure up and type into would be a game changer for actions that require repetition and precision.

That is, rather than bringing GUI to the CLI, bring CLI to the GUI.

In my time in Stockholm, I think I went to two places that were cash-only. One was a gelato shop(?!), the other a shop selling old maps and lithographs run by an older man. Literally everywhere else happily takes cards.
Yes, it's huge progress, but huge progress != useful. And getting to useful, while very likely a matter of when and not if, is not inevitable. The number of qbits in current technology is measured in the dozens whereas the number of qbits needed to do something useful is likely in the thousands (because error correction will almost certainly be needed). QCs don't scale like CCs do. There could be some pretty significant obstacles between here and useful. C.f. fusion power, which has been 10 years away from being useful for about 40 years now.

Good points. Thanks! Definitely need to take care (1) and (2).

I am also concerned about the true $-value of the developer. Say I hire one for $200,000 per year, is that all the money my company would spend on him? Or is it going to be more than that? Are there any other hidden costs I am not seeing right now?

For example, one thing that came up in my mind is team offsite events which we have. That's not part of the compensation package on paper but our company does have to bear some extra expenses for every new developer. Fortunately, it is not a large amount to worry about. But I am worried if there is any large amount that I need to worry about and I am missing out in my analysis.

Still, given the extraordinary claims the proof on Huawei seems to be spread thin. I know they "theoretically could" surveill everything, but actual proof isn't really there (yet) afaik and this while there are parties with considerable interest to proof their wrongdoing.

Which leaves three explainations:

1. The chinese are so good the 5 eyes can't proof it

2. The 5 eyes can proof it but don't dare to for certain reasons (which wont stop independend researchers)

3. It doesn't actually happen (yet)

Meanwhile we've got tons of actual backdoors from the US side.
> Being able to pay through cards and phones is super convenient

I was very impressed by Sydney's train between the airport and city that can take assorted contactless payments at the turnstile. None of this figuring out how many zones I need a ticket for or buying a $20 card and only using $9.50.
Yep, that's the plan -- we're adding to our IDE. Will report back results.
Steve Jobs had a couple of interesting remarks regarding UNIX's culture lack of understanding of UI/UX.

OpIndia is a Brietbart-esque website. I trust the Wikipedia moderators more than OpIndia "journalists", who, not long ago, called for "war to defend the Hindus".

The systemic way in which the neo-facist government is taking control the narrative by tarnishing trust in institutions that have stood up well to scrutiny is unnerving.

> Could you cite more primary sources?

I'm pretty sure any primary source that doesn't fit a narrative would be dismissed as non-trustworthy because OpIndia wrote an "investigative" piece that refutes those sources, or because a prominent right-wing person tweets questioning the legitimacy and dismissing it as "fake news"? The incumbent is playing abhorrable politics.

> Now I cannot trust any India related entry on Wikipedia.

Sure, trust OpIndia instead? The standard bearer for journalistic ethics.
I can still remember being extremely confused the first time I came across a 'hello world' tutorial as a child.

The thoughts running through my head were something like: What is 'hello world' and why am I writing it? Is it a command that does something? Does every language have a 'hello world' command, or just this one? Let's see... if I copy and paste the code and run it, it doesn't seem to do anything except repeat 'hello world' back to me. I must be missing something...

> it's circular logic, and therefore sloppy thinking, to say "CC's are universal. They can compute any computable function."

No, it's not. In fact, it might not even be true. This is the Church-Turing thesis, and it is unproven and probably unprovable, but nonetheless almost certainly true. An actual counterexample would probably be the biggest news in the history of science.
> I don't personally know of anybody rebelling against the cashless society, not in any age group. Its not even talked about.

No one is, because the cashless society isn't happening. The concept of abandoning cash is at this stage merely a thought experiment. Even in Sweden, the most significant action taken in that direction is a discussion about whether to have a discussion, from the government.

But why would any government abandon cash? Any fiat currency needs at least some cash to go around, otherwise the remaining cash exchanges that still happens, a lot of which are untracked, would be outside of the control that governments still have over them; valuation. If you take away their cash, they will simply find another bartering tool.

I'm surprised how many people can compare it to the flu and be dismissive. If it was possible to catch "the flu" early and never have to deal with it, how much would that be worth? 30,000-60,000 people die every year just in the US and there are herculean efforts to produce, manufacture, and distribute a new vaccine twice a year. So now we're cool with having an additional flu going around?

That's separate from the concerns of too many people getting sick quickly, overwhelming our health system, so people who otherwise would get medical attention die.
In europe in general debit accounts for residents are either free or very cheap, now if you are not a resident that is different story.
It bothers me too reading about the testing methodology on various countries. In China anal swabs tested positive in released infected patients, while they were repeatedly testing negative with oral swabs. This has come up in their "reinfection" investigations, which may have really been partial recoveries appearing as full recoveries according to oral swab tests.

By way of correction: Consul does not simply "round robin" DNS requests unless you configure it in a particularly naive manner.

Prepared queries [1] and network tomography (which comes from the Serf underpinnings of the non-server agents) [2] allow for a much wider range of topologies just using DNS without requiring proxies (assuming well behaved client software, which is not a given by any stretch).

Furthermore, Consul _does_ have a mesh as around 2 years ago - [3].

You are correct though that long caches subvert much of the benefit.

Part of why cashless works is the same reason the Swedish welfare state generally works: a trust of government. Contrast this with Germany and its history with...lists; it's best not to have yourself be too traceable.

> First you need to learn Packer, or Terraform, or Salt, or Ansible - how do you pick one?

You don't. These are complementary tools.

Packer builds images. Salt, Ansible, Puppet or Chef _could_ be used as part of this process, but so can shell scripts (and given the immutability of images in modern workflows, they are the best option).

Terraform can be used to deploy images as virtual machines, along with the supporting resources in the target deployment environment.
> it is quite evident that NULL is defined as “0” in C language.

It is actually the other way around. The bare numeral 0, in C, is defined to be the null pointer when the numeral 0 is encountered in a pointer context. This does not mean that the null pointer actually has anything to do with the value 0. The succeeding if clause in the C program in the article, the one which prints “NULL is 0”, is not even using any pointers! Since the C preprocessor is text-based, the token sequence “if(0 == NULL)” is replaced by the preprocessor with “if(0 == 0)”, which the compiler will interpret as an integer comparison, not a pointer comparison.
