I was just suggesting this idea to my wife the other day. She counter argued (and I think she's right) that this is still a risky proposition. If everyone arrives, stays in their car watching the movie and then leaves, great. But people see someone they know, or they want to let their kids out to run around, and those kids see other kids. And add others have mentioned: restrooms.

AI does not mean ML, it is a broad field that is a superset and not a subset of ML. Or as Wikipedia describes it:

>In computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.

I have a really hard time finding books on Korean companies, methods, or up-to-date planning; particularly on Samsung, Hyundai, LG or new fields like biotech/renewable; and preferably written by Korean journalists or academics. On the other hand there's a lot you can find written about American or Japanese companies like Taiichi Ohno on Toyota, John Bogle on Vanguard, MITI and the Japanese Miracle, etc. I get that this is primarily a matter of 1) impact and 2) population. But Hyundai, LG and Samsung are major international companies now.

The few books on Korean companies I've read, written by Americans, have been terribly pithy and missing a lot of actual history. I will still give Samsung Rising a read though.

But if you have worked with Korean companies before and have any recommendations for good histories of companies or methods, I'd love to get them. Biographies are a little more common and a little less interesting to me. Over biographies I'd prefer up to date recommendations on the Korean economy and planning. Most of the books out there were written in the 90s/00s.

Edit: recommendations don't have to be in English, Korean is fine.

No status code system is ever perfect or you wouldn’t get the benefit of the status codes. I feel like this problem is solved higher up by doing exactly what you say via OAuth, etc.
JS's version of Date is pretty much exactly the same as java.util.Date: just a thin veneer around a long representing ms since the epoch. Yes, Java has had Calendar and DateFormat for years, but the API is generally recognized as being pretty horrible (how many bugs were caused by Date and SimpleDateFormat not being thread-safe?)

So the Java community coalesced around Joda time, not unlike how the JS community coalesced around moment.js. The big difference is that yes, Java eventually rolled these lessons learned into the java.time API, but now you're effectively stuck with 2 standards, Joda and java.time. Not sure if that's much of an improvement.
I would love to see examples please!
My laptop has better sound than my high school era 5.1 system had. It’s uncanny how good those tiny little speakers have gotten.

Mostly I watch on a laptop because it’s convenient. And the lack of a TV in the house discourages passively plomping my ass down and flicking through shit when I really should be doing anything else.
Sounds like you would be better suited using some form of dependently typed system as far as type systems go.

If I understand you correctly now, a functional language with no real type system (and thus no such compiler enforced constraints) like Elixir would be imperative in your book and therefore more suitable to facilitate constantly changing business requirements.

Thanks for taking the time to detail your thoughts for me!

Perhaps there's a generation that has seen little else, and takes this to be the best or only way to write? Are we teaching people to write this way, with examinations having a time limit and where, in practice, the score correlates strongly with length? (Though that has been the case for a long time.) Is concise writing taken to be difficult-textbook style, and undesirable anywhere else?

Print media editors necessarily have to constrain length, and authors learned to write accordingly. Nowadays, a lot of writing is unconstrained either by physical limits or editors.

The specific example you give appears to be intentionally literary in intent, and so conciseness is not necessarily a prime virtue. When authors were paid by the word, prolixity was effectively encouraged, and this is obvious in some of Poe's work.
I agree with your definition of bricked- the specialized tools is the key part. However, even the definition of specialized tools can be ambiguous!

Correct. You’re supposed to send 403 only when 1. you’ve successfully “logged in” with a set of credentials, but 2. the user that those credentials map to, doesn’t have rights on the resource. If you haven’t authed at all, and there’s a resource there requiring auth, you’re supposed to send 401.
Nearly every time I have to make any changes to a CI environment (or set one up for a new project), I end up with a stream of increasingly unintelligible and often increasingly grumpy commit notes. It's almost always because YAML, as a format, is confusing and frustrating to write.

Structured data with only vague, and often misleading, indication of its structure is awful to work with. Sure, it's "human readable", but if your data is of any real complexity you're almost certainly better off just machine-generating it.
Thanks for sharing. What was the motivation to make this and use case?
The MX Master 2S comes with a Unifying receiver, so he should already have own. It's just annoying having a USB port permanently occupied.

I’m in the same boat. I would happily migrate my wife, kid, parents, and possibly even my siblings over if it was more affordable to do so. They don’t see the value in not being in the Google ecosystem, so they aren’t willing to pay themselves, which is understandable. I would be happy to pay for them, but at $50/year per user that adds up too fast unfortunately.

This is definitely interesting, but there's always Javascript in the browser. It's turing complete by design, and it can and is sandboxed to a lot of success. The fast and quick conclusion that TC in itself is dangerous is not warranted, but when it's not intended, it can have unexpected consequences that might have some security, or other (stability) implications. That's what I take away from the article.
Nice idea! More citizen tools for observing and inspecting the elite is always welcome and good project to work on.

- Increase the contrast as almost all of the text (except table headers text) is hard to read without really focusing.

A speculative theory backed by purely circumstantial evidence gathered online of covid-19's origin is that chinese researchers investigating coronaviruses in bats working near the wet market in Wuhan had an accident and became infected, one who apparently disappeared and has been presumed dead.

I don't know if that's pure conspiracy theory nonsense, but it certainly seems risky to be doing this kind of thing:

> Free-ranging bats were captured, and rectal and oral swabs and guano samples collected for coronaviral screening

Especially considering the potential for asymptomatic spread...
This is 100% a rightwing talking point, pushed by the likes of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter, and I wish it would go away. Look... if we all want to get along, then we need some way of working together despite disagreements. If 51% of people want to do something, we all must agree that that's okay. Otherwise nothing would ever get done.

I just throw all the subject lines into a database. The data volume is not even remotely close to the limits of a modern DB.
I’ve been playing AssCreed Odyssey as a stealthy archer and it’s solution to that particular problem seems to be attaching your location to each fired arrow; enemies within some radius of where the arrow hit are given a search target somewhere near your position when shooting. Add in some “It came from over there!” barks and it works pretty nicely

If you are far enough away there is a big hole in this wherein they can’t get to your position before their maximum-amount-of-time-in-search-mode timer fires off and they go back to their normal location and behavior, though.

Wondering when they will start with implementing proper access controls on their API's. At the moment, a personal access token does have scopes, but it is quite limited:

- Repo access is all or nothing. A read-only token is not possible, an 'issues-only' token is not possible.

- Personal access tokens are not scoped to repositories or organizations. So your personal toy project token also allows access to your super-sensitive employer's repository. On top of that, your employer is unable to prevent this, unless you start using Github Enterprise _and_ an SSH CA, which is far from trivial.

It's nice that they drop username/password access, but as long as personal access tokens have such broad permissions, it does not really add any value (you should have been using 2FA anyway).
Zen Buddhism would point out that you and everybody around you dies in both scenarios.
A comment below also points out the token ensures a higher quality secret is being used most of the time.

One of my favorite bugs of all time, which turns out to be a pretty common yaml bug (the article touches on a similar example), was when we used yaml to configure some localizable data. Everything worked fine until Norway came online. Sweden worked fine, so did Denmark and every other country, but the app crashed when it loaded the config for Norway.

Turns out the country code for Norway, "no", is interpreted as boolean false when unquoted in yaml.

Is there any actual quantitative evidence this update is any worse than any average update? The article presents three forum posts as evidence... which isn't evidence.

I assume every update ever has messed up a handful of people's computers, even if just coincidentally (e.g. the computer was going to die on the next reboot no matter what).

If thousands of people were complaining on Twitter that would be one thing. But since there aren't, and considering that Apple hasn't pulled the update...

Is this just much ado about nothing?
It's not the same thing. Chisel will help you do things like write more reusable RTL, because the language itself is more expressive -- so the potential level of abstraction is much higher than what you can achieve in Verilog. You can do more flexible kinds of parameterization, for example. And doing that can help avoid certain kinds of bugs, for sure. (And it also means you simply need less RTL to describe the same thing, because re-use is so much higher.)

But Chisel will not help you when you have some errata like "the BRAMs on these devices take 67 cycles to initialize after coming out of reset" tucked away in a manual somewhere that you forgot to read. That's just an FPGA example -- you can run a hundred simulations and your design will still fail immediately in real hardware because of such things. (Even "cycle accurate simulations" from your vendor may not account for these things.) You're going to encounter a lot of problems like this, before you even move to ASIC level flows.

Ultimately the hardware industry does need much better RTLs, because the current ones mostly suck from a language POV in a huge number of ways. But verification is still a much bigger problem in general no matter what RTL you've chosen.

I have migrated 4 people from my family to Fastmail. It was a xmas present. We did the setup together on Christmas Eve and exchanges some mails. Emails sent after that day equal 0. I guess will be ending the contract too. No worth 200 USD / year for 0 mails sent.

That said would support a family plan too. For me it’s important that they are not sitting on a free gmail account.

I don’t think it’s helpful to confuse side-channel or micro-architectural attacks with attacks on SGX itself. Stating that hardware enclaves don’t work and do not ship is absurd, they are present in virtually every modern phone for one thing.

Code running in an SGX enclave is measured and absolutely known at enclave launch. The fact that enclave memory is encrypted for confidentiality is unrelated.

I don’t understand why you think trusting the hyper visor is helping anything. You are still open to this attack, and to all side channel attacks as soon as you run any untrusted code.
Same for us. Family of four, I have a basic account.

Communication is perception. Whose perception? The recipient(s).

I'm 2 minutes in. Lecturer revealed a formula for quality speaking. Knowledge, he says, is the biggest of the three components.

He then takes about a minute using an anecdote about Mary Lou Retton to demonstrate why knowledge is so important.

And yet, I'm wondering, how many people in his audience know enough about who she is to understand what he seems to want to say is an important point?

If they don't, then I think he just lost a bunch of them in the first two minutes.

Communication is perception and if his audience can't perceive his analogy, he hasn't communicated.
I like Noah, but I don't think this is really true.

Twitter was spun out of Odeo and that spin out was based on Ev's money and Jack's idea.

In the spin out, Ev & Jack were basically recruiting out of the Odeo team. Some of us didn't want to go along. I just up and quit, I was so frustrated there. But Noah did want to continue and wasn't taken along.

This all went down when Twitter was in a very, very weak position, i.e. didn't really have any value other than the fact that Ev & Jack wanted to work on it. It probably had 200 users or even less. This is a classic case of the idea is worthless and the execution is everything. Ev & Jack were the ones carrying the ability to execute this.

So, Noah getting hosed really comes down to he wanted a job and didn't get it. I know that hurts, but it doesn't deserve to be the scandal that Nick Bilton made it out to be.

For the scandal to work, people try to latch on to Twitter being prototyped inside the Odeo corporate entity which would make Noah a founder. That entity was dead though. Audio blogging and podcasting directories didn't work in 2005. That's what Noah really co-founded. And so in the break up of the company, Ev bought all the assets. There was no other buyer, no other source of funding, or even a desire to keep any of the products alive. Noah did end up with stock in the new Twitter and that makes it a pretty good outcome for him.
Yes, the company should be getting a regular 409A valuation. They should be willing to share this with you when you exercise shares.
