I went to look at what pushbullet does since I'm not familiar with it--in this day and age, "bullet" is a fearsome term so I wanted to make sure that wasn't the cause of google's alarm.

The personal information security concern I had is that it seems that pushbullet shovels all sorts of data from Chrome to the pushbullet server and then routes it to, pushbullet says, my other devices while respecting my privacy. While I don't doubt that pushbullet is an honest broker of my data, it's doing all this outside of google's purview. For somebody to spy on my data, they wouldn't need to break into google's ecosystem, they'd just need to break into pushbullet's.

I'm not disagreeing with all the other comments here about big bad google, I already think they are bigger and badder than everybody else here does.

And I'm not at all sure that what I'm pointing out has anything to do with google's motivation here (I liked the comment that said that this app is a threat to their walled garden), I'm just pointing out my impression to try to be helpful to OP in figuring this out.

In many US states, there are no vehicle inspections, so as long as it has the basics like turn signals, wipers, brake lights, headlights, etc. it can be driven on the street and nobody will care.
What exactly in my reply are you referring to? I wasn't implying anything about above ground tunnels, construction doesn't get cheaper or easier when you put the tunnels under ground, in fact the opposite is true.

True, but if you're only travelling one day a week you could probably stomach a longer commute on that one day than if you were doing it 5 days a week. I guess ideally there would be some variety in the way jobs offer home working, then people could choose for themselves and hopefully that would take some pressure off housing markets in metro areas as well as giving a sense of connection to employees/employers who particularly desire that.
But the solution is a stronger welfare system, like a UBI, not forcing people to work while risking their lives or go without food.
You often need an account to do something meaningful (getAccounts())

You often want to get an idea of how much it will cost to send your transaction (estimateGas())

If you want to interact with smart contracts like crypto kitties, lossless lotto, compound lending protocol you need to load it up into your web3 lib (Contract())

If you want to send a write transaction or interact with any way that changes the state of the chain, you want to send a transaction (sendTransaction() although sendRawTransaction() is one I like better)

If you want to think in ETH but operate in the smaller units of ETH called Wei - transaction cost is calculated in GigaWei IIRC - you would use (toWei())
I’ve been working on Flux, a platform to deploy and host deep learning models in production.

Instead of renting a GPU instance and setting up a Flask web server, you use git to push your trained model to Flux with some configuration and get back an http endpoint.

For example, you set that your input is the url to an image, and that your output should be the top classification and its likelihood, and that your model is in pytorch.

For example if you have a classifier for dog breeds you:

Make a POST to fluxdeploy.com/username/dog-classifier
with json { “url”: “...” }
And get back { “klass”: “Great Dane”, “probability”: 0.937373 }

No need to do your own devops, Flux will scale for you. And it’s priced per-request and cheaper than hosting your own web server. Flux also deals with versioning and dependencies.

Still working on streaming inputs like video.
Can you maybe have a pastebin of such a list? would be very useful
Just to add to all that has been said already : If he is in that position for 3 years and he stays there; there is something in him that fits the organisation he is in.
He might be doing _some_ things right that you value less than others or can't see. Even if you end up leaving, you can get value from searching what that can be.

It might also be worth checking how he feels himself int he role (without confronting him of course). Does he think he is doing well? Maybe he is afraid of being judged so he sticks to what he knows.

In any case, good luck with it :)

Have they ever done such a thing for legit software (akin to Pushbullet?)

My point is not that they can't do it, my point is that they can't casually do it. It would be Real Work and it would risk major backlash.

As the other comment pointed out, it simply means to see that everyting is in unity, everything is part of the same universe, same god. To not get only one part of the world (like fame or material possessions, or a single other person, or affiliation with a political party) and make it your idol god, because that will ultimately lead to disaster. There is nothing "jealous" about this.
Detailed answer here: https://trailrouter.com/about/#the-route-being-suggested-inc...

There is a setting in Trail Router to "Avoid Potentially Unsafe Roads" which makes it much more conservative about road choices.

It uses OSM data for routing information, but this is quite poor for pedestrian safety (particularly in the US it seems, where some 'secondary' roads are very safe, and others are death traps). There are specific tags for foot access and sidewalks, but they are rarely used outside of cities. Crossing the I-95 should only be done if there's a bridge going over it, it should never take you across the lanes of traffic (!). If it does, please do email me a link to the route if you don't mind.
It has to have at leasat one use case, otherwise it is litearlly useless. At least a use case like "Python but with static types" or "Swift but for Windows".

Not sure it should be all children. But maybe 2 deep or something. For instance your comment would be unseen if it was collapsed at the top level, but yours is what sparked my reply. It does get weird though, because then people would just be incentivised to reply at the top level. And end up a longer thread there. I guess if its not completely collapsed there is always going to be some attempt to reply in the right place because you will get more views there instead of a top level comment.

Also curious about being able to make a web extension that collapses at a certain configurable level. Or even reordering. Not that it helps most users. But would be interesting.
It's quite possible that they make heavy use of instancing, which might reduce the memory footprint by a lot. Not every pebble or rock needs an individual geometry.

I get where you're coming here, maybe the concepts in the book weren't difficult for you, but they were for me. I tried Rust without the book and got disillusioned so quickly as I didn't have the vocabulary to understand the docs or a lot of discussion (stack overflow etc) i bought the book and it openened up so much understanding for me and now I have a couple of Rust projects on the go.

I guess it upset me a bit because I didn't find Rust fun at all until I had the book and I could see how your piece could discourage people from buying it.

I'm working on gerrymandering. Both parties claim that the other party is better at it. My hypothesis is that some gerrymandered districts benefit the incumbent to the point of actually benefiting the opposing party in the adjacent districts. So, the incumbent has a safe seat, but the net is a loss for his own party.

I'd like to be able to demonstrate and quantify it.

For some lab environments, we've simply configured automatic shutdown after hours if and only if nobody is working. If the system is in use, it is not shut down. Then the system is started again on demand. Spin up time is so quick that there is no value in pre-starting.

This is working well. A few guys used to complain about having to wait for that first boot, but in reality, it's almost always the same guy who's first in the office that gets it started, so complaints quickly went away.
I'm ashamed to share the code because I feel like I got so much wrong and code is not elegant. For learning purposes, Hacking With Swift videos by Paul Hudson helped a lot. https://hackingwithswift.com
So at the risk of asking a dumb question: why aren't protesters demanding e.g. more economic aid instead of a reopening? It's not like giving money to people in this crisis is a taboo anymore... it was one thing both the Congress and the White House agreed on for once. And it's not like if everything reopens then they're going to be instantly back in business. A lot of people will still stay home anyway. Wouldn't it be a lot more logical to demand payments or some other form of direct aid so that they can actually survive both economically and medically? Instead of making it a zero-sum game demanding everyone trade off a dubious-at-best chance at economic survival for a far more certain chance of a public health crisis (if not worse)?
Thanks! As of now, no, but I'm thinking about adding such functionality with a chrome extension maybe, not sure yet if that really works out or if I get round to it though. But its currently my biggest bottleneck in my own workflow so it may just get there ;).

My ambition is to plan out for 3 months or so and then to be able to split up the groceries and order all the non-expiry stuff once from a grocery delivery shop and have a weekly grocery list to take to a bio shop.
If we're talking about efficacy of government lockdown policies, universal healthcare, etc., then we absolutely should compare. And a cursory glance at the data suggests that government lockdown policies have minimal effect on the spread of the virus, there seems to be little to no correlation between severity of lockdown and cases/deaths
It's a language research project.

> In the Bosque project we ask the question of what happens if the IR is designed explicitly to support the rich needs of automated code reasoning, IDE tooling, etc. With this novel IR first perspective we are exploring a new way to think about and build a language intermediate representation and tools that utilize it. Our initial experiments show that this empowers a range of next-generation experiences including symbolic-testing, enhanced fuzzing, soft-realtime compilation with stable GC support, API auto-marshaling, and more!

No worries, I am not hurt by directness, in fact I appreciate not sugarcoating an argument.

I was not trolling. For most of the stuff you list it is not clear at all that they have any effect in general, and if they do, it is not clear whether it is positive or negative, or of what kind. It is perfectly rational to be cautious with these things and fall back on things that have been tried and tested for millennia: spending time outdoors, fresh air, good eating, physical exercise.

I am not claiming that these would solve your specific problems, I am just putting out a list of tools. You have also done so, and someone naively browsing may try out either of the two sets. Mine has less chance of being harmful.

On sleeping there was also a very informative essay by the supermemo guy, good sleep good life, or something like that.
I can take time off and I did last week. However, I ended up just doing pretty much the same thing as when I was working, so it was a waste. What I really need is some time completely to myself, just sitting outside or something. It's my most precious resource right now and very hard to come by.
You just went and cherry-picked 3 of the most impacted countries in Europe, not very convincing.

I believe there's value to marketers to know "this email address somewhat reliably hits a human's eyeballs" as evidenced by a click-to-unsubscribe or click-to-refute action as a stronger signal than "well, we didn't get a bounce".

"Email providers already tell people sending email when an address is real or not." suggests a level of reliability of signal that simply doesn't exist. I have an infinite number of email addresses that you could send to, which would not give you a bounce, and none of which will reliably land in front of a human's eyeballs.
You don't need to be a mod to post those, however.
Some people for the last decade: wouldn't it be great if node had a comprehensive, idiomatically coherent, thoroughly typed standard library ? Look, typescript is right here !

No-one, at all, for the love of jeebus: Do another node-like thing, but make it in rust on top of C++ (or is the other way around ?), somewhat similar but generally incompatible, have a whole different set of APIs, a bunch of new tools and yet another package/module system.

I don't see how Swift is similar to Rust -- it's a garbage collected, OO language, not really appropriate for low level / systems level programming. It's a nice looking language for what it is, with some nicer modern features in its type system etc, but its niche is not the same as Rust.
This is another categorical statement. I love how the languages you mention do concurrency, but I don't think that if you use threads, one should only be doing it in Elixir/Erlang (or go).

I find that nearly as disagreeable as the original posting.
Sofia Finds Clues Hidden in Pluto’s Haze
>Those are prospective astronauts. I would expect them to be even more tolerant of CO2 and claustrophobia than submariners.

They weren't prospective astronauts, they were "astronaut like individuals". Men and women in their 30s and 40s with bachelor degrees and technical skills who can pass a modified flight physical (that from the description in the paper doesn't include any kind of C02 exposure).

Unlike submariners they aren't regularly exposed to 5,000ppm of C02, the height limit is much higher, and almost half of the participants were women.

They might be in better shape than the people in the Harvard experiment, because they screened out many medical conditions. But they are also lot older on average, and the exclusion criteria weren't particularly selective (140/90 bp for example).

Assuming good health has a protective effect you'd still expect so see some effect at 5x (5,000ppm) the level that showed an impact on the Harvard students.
Maybe they think Coronavirus is caused by the vocal chord parasites from Metal Gear Solid 5
> It’s already suspicious by virtue of having a hand-wavy "Int" type (what size/signedness is that?)

This is a silly criticism. The language is brand new; they haven't gotten around to ironing out low-risk minutia like naming numeric types. Anyway, "Int" can still be well-specified even if the name doesn't indicate size (the signedness is just as clear as with Rust and C++).

> it appears to be object-oriented (so we have to rely on compiler optimisations to remove dynamic dispatch)

Not a fan of OOP or C++, but implicit dynamic dispatch isn't a property of OOP as C++ demonstrates. And to that end, Bosque seems to copy C++ in this regard, or at least the code snippets show methods annotated with "virtual".
PHP Reporting Framework
I recently got a job and that’s how it is here. (I’m not sure if they’re actually VMs, they’re very powerful machines.)

One of the first things you do when you get hired here as a developer is request that a machine get provisioned for you in the data center and provide your public ssh key. You’re not allowed to do anything on the MacBook they give you other than mail/wiki/chat/ssh. IMO it’s pretty brilliant.

One extra nice thing is that the OPs people rather than the corporate IT people manage it so it actually works well.
I'm in upstate New York where even the cars I drive regularly are rusting out constantly, to say nothing of the rusted junk that doesn't get used. When I bought my house and talked to the homeowner insurance agent about risks on the property they asked if I had any abandoned junk cars in the yard. When I said no, she said "you will."

Nearly everyone here has some junk cars sitting around rotting, whether it's a future project that they'll never do, spare parts for another vehicle, or just something they know that a pinch they can roll down to the scrap yard for $100-200 (or waiting for the price of scrap metal to rise again so maybe they can get $400).
The point is that the original topic is against "startups" where in this example, 99% of work was done inside precisely an organization like a startup, and only the resting 1% being work of a student who simply applied a ready-made solution to his situation. The point is, regardless of hacker culture, there is nothing wrong with startup culture, it often produces great products and technology.

Stuxnet's Legacy Lives on in New Windows Bug
I have yet to work in an organization with a healthy KB, but based on my best experiences:

I think that which technology to use (wiki, shared drive, etc) is not as important as the fact that there should be one AND ONLY ONE place where documentation lives. This is one of the reasons why I hate MS Teams: because every channel has its own Wiki plus its own Files, meaning that I have to hunt through every even-remotely-relevant channel and through several tabs before I find something I know exists. The same goes for chat - once half your team uses Slack and the other half prefers Skype, notifications will get lost.

Second, I think it's a good idea to have someone whose official job includes nagging other people about updating documentation rather than waiting for everyone to do it by themselves. I was in charge of keeping a log of weekly research meetings, and the simple act of writing
