I've used a similar technique to test, generating an expected output, actual output and then diff them.

One trick I found helpful was using JSON to serialize test results instead of unstructured plain text.

Test results stored as JSON are much easier parse and therefore process. You can quickly whip up programs that verify the tests satisfy invariants, diff the tests and filter out expected test changes from unexpected test changes.
It used to be the case I distinctly remember IE during the Windows 95 era and maybe 98 as well popping up questions asking you if you want to accept cookies.

The whole cookies acceptance pop up was also in the original cookies spec somewhere down the line browsers stopped asking mostly due to the fact that sites got dependent on cookies more and more especially in the early days where there was little to no session management on the server side so you had to either use cookies to store all the state information or encode it into the URL and have your CGI script parse through it.
And that's also much of the problem with it.

Small farms don't have the capital for the most environmentally friendly technology. Locally is not necessarily the best place for food production. That the farmer respects nature and animals is a bit beside the point for solving the problem of global food production in a sustainable way.

> Haha yeah you're so much smarter than him. Somebody should give you an award!

I think his post is motivated by the kind of pretentious assholery that emanates from the kind of world view, or view on other humans that the article rerflects, that assistants are objects to be fired over whatever opinion their "owner" has on what is to be considered stupid or not.

"Oh! My assistant is so STUPID they didn't think about this thing the same way as I did, they should be fired, lowlife trash!"

Yeah, first in class entitled assholery right there.

The colleges also make more money that way. A 500 person freshman lecture class is a money maker. A 50 person capstone class is a money loser. I agree it's nice to give people a chance but it's not all rose considering the debt many of those people who don't make it take on.

You're right that some people want to know the time in London, Ontario. But most people who ask the time in London don't.

In the absence of context, the right thing is to give the time in the UK. If more context is given: "What time is it in London, Ontario," then obviously it should give the time in Ontario, and perhaps remember that this person is an exception to the rule.
I had the same experience. I had particular trouble configuring encryption for connections. It didn't help that they'd switched configuration file-formats, but the documentation and tutorials still used the old format.

Never had any stability issues though. Once it was up and running, it was solid.
Ah, finally, one could build a PC that runs Slack, MS Teams, VSCode, ~200 Chrome Tabs and other necessary stuff.

Der8auer recently conducted an experiment where he pushed an FX-8350 to 8.1GHz (on liquid nitrogen), and dropped it to 7.5GHz, then ran Cinebench R15 – but even at this level, the old processor still couldn’t match the single-core performance of modern Ryzen chips, being slightly slower than a Ryzen 5 2600X (not even a current-gen or high-end Ryzen).

This aptly illustrates that there is a lot more to a CPU than pure clock speed, and underlines the kind of advances we get from progressing through different CPU architectures – with major IPC (Instructions Per Clock) increases – as time goes on.

Wow!
Even if user locales are set properly, I've often wondered whether automatic spelling and grammar checking, and now auto-completion, will retard the future progression of languages. In France they have l'Académie française which essentially seeks to retard the progression of French, but it's never had the power to automatically correct and "suggest" the content of people's emails.

> Given what we've forced on the world historically, I don't think the UK can complain!

Actually, Britain was different from many other colonial powers in that it kept many local languages, customs and laws in the colonies. France, to give one example, has been much worse than Britain at prescribing French and effectively wiping out many regional languages.

Important to note also that English isn't the official language of the United States. It's only the de facto standard. Nigeria made English the official language after independence, but the country still has over 300 languages. English wasn't forced, it just became an invaluable tool allowing the country to operate more efficiently.
> Maybe because you know that there's only one timezone for the UK

And that's where things start to get fun, because there are actually several timezones in the UK if you include its dependencies. I don't really know how it works in the UK because I'm French, so let's take France instead. "What time is it in France?" usually means "in metropolitan France", but now let's say you're in northern Brazil, close to the border of French Guyane. When you say "what time is it in France", do you mean "metropolitan France across the ocean", or do you mean "the closest French department a hundred miles away"?

There are probably _A_LOT_ of people who have a lot more to do with the non-british London who'd be very sad indeed if The Machines (tm) suddenly decided that EVERY request about London MUST ALWAYS be about the British one..

There will be a lot more people who are asking about the British London than people who are asking about their nearest London. Apple will be making far more people sad by defaulting to the local one. If Siri asked "Which London?" every time most people would get annoyed.

What should happen from a UX perspective is that Siri should respond with "The time in London, UK, is..." which would inform the user that Siri is differentiating between different Londons, and that they need to specify a locality in order to narrow down the query to some other London if necessary. 99% of the time the user will get what they wanted first time, and the other 1% of the time the user will be informed that their query wasn't accurate enough.

That your statement about "the whole European system" is factually incorrect, because every single country takes their own approach, and there are huge variations between them.

Trying to tar the whole of Europe with one brush would be like Europeans conflating the US education system with Paraguay and Ecuador because it's the "whole American system".
And then you will see threads complaining about wasting a whole day just to be rejected, spying on your computer remotely or focusing too much on very narrow domain knowledge.

I thought that by now we wouldn't have to go over this every time.

- This coronavirus spreads asymptomatically, which means people under 50 mingling with each other are deadly threats to people over 50. In particular, to their parents, grandparents, aunts, and neighbors.

- The chance of dying is low for young people, the chance of suffering serious damage to lungs and other internal organs that takes months to recover is a bit higher (some of it may be permanent, but that's yet to be determined).

- The chance of dying for everyone goes up several times if the medical system gets DDoSed by COVID patients.

EDIT:

> It makes little sense to force young people to stay at home and get fired

One of the most important effects of the lockdown being done top-down by governments is that employers can no longer fire people who wanted to protect themselves, their families and their communities from getting sick. Leaving this choice entirely to individuals is in practice equivalent to forcing them to choose between staying safe and having a job.
"Don't send him the nice fish, he might be a vegetarian AND might be the next CEO"... Yeah, huh, I don't think that's the usual concern. I think many people wouldn't want to hire a person that takes offense from a misplaced but nice gesture, anyways - I would not.

Yep. There is a reason why everyone plays FPS games that way, and it applies just the same to the desktop
I find it incredible that these calculators are even allowed in exams. In the UK, for University, we were allowed at most a Casio fx series scientific calculator, nothing more sophisticated. At A-Level (pre-college) you were allowed very basic graphical calculators but I knew of nobody that bought one and they were seen as being pointless.

AFAIK in US, you just treat affiliates like independent contractors. You collect W9 or W8-BEN, and there's no tax withholding or extra taxes. Most importantly most software help you automate admin workflow.

>And is EU law the issue or really 'local law'?
A little bit of both. Basically different nationalities have different tax calculations and documentation required. Plus, there are extra taxes that'll eat up our margin significantly.

We are consulting professionals of course, just want to get some tips from those who might've dealt with it. (I'm also slightly worried that tax/legal professionals, especially outside of SV, don't always have full grasps of these practices.)
To throw a tongue-in-cheek additional example in here: the population of London, Ontario is (significantly) greater than the population of the City of London, UK.

Reality is hard. And with machine learning (especially proprietary, remotely-hosted machine learning) there's rarely a way to pinpoint a line of code and say: "this is what happened and why you're now frustrated and firing hypothetical personal assistants".
Can you cite any documentary evidence for these Chinese threats, dating back to the 1960s?

I'm not saying you're wrong but China in the 1960s was an unindustrialised, agrarian 3rd-world country which was barely able to feed its own people. I suspect Britain [a rich, industrialised, nuclear-armed member of NATO] would have laughed in their face, if China had issued any threats.

We shouldn't fall into the trap of looking at the might & modernity of China today and thinking t'was ever thus. I'm old enough to remember when news footage from China would show countless thousands of people, clad in denim boiler suits, riding bicycles through Peking, with nary a car to be seen.

[ASIDE: Ironic that moving towards vehicle-free cities with a cycling populace is now seen as aspirational and a sign of progress whereas, back then, it was an indicator of how backward China was]
"Licence" doesn't even look wrong to me as an American. This, along with "grey" and "gray," is one of the few where I don't bother to figure out which one is more common in which country.

This looks like much too complicated CSS mixed with Javascript. Or in other words: why must a button be created in such a complex way, when CSS and HTML can do the same?
Probably because the PDP & Intel 8080 were typically octal systems rather than hex, the 8080 instruction set decoded nicely in octal (or at least the MOV A,H instructions). By the time the 8086 arrived the micro-computer world had moved to hex as it nice decode mapping was broken by the Z80 and the 6502/68xx families didn't have that nice split.

So my guess this is to allow 12 octal to be 10 decimal as that would have been the default in the inital code base.
If you have to constantly "clarify your thoughts" because your assistant is incapable of basic inferences based on context and general knowledge, then they aren't likely to be much use as an assistant.
My company (based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany) had an online business travel reservation system which helpfully pre-filled the starting point of all new trips to Frankfurt, Kentucky (which is not even the right spelling of the city).

I filed a request to NOT pre-fill the starting city to a place in Kentucky and got a polite but firm reply that this was the default list provided by the 3rd party online booking engine and cannot be customized. Sigh.
I'm not aware of any social problem that has been adequately resolved by any organization, government or private. There's always someone who thinks it's not good enough.

I think treating Siri like a digital version of a Personal Assistant is going a bit far. It is a simple Voice Interface to a bunch of apps, local databases and cloud databases.

Nobody has ever said "Should I buy an Apple Watch for $750 or hire a PA for $35,000/year?".
TBH I think there are only two cases where you would answer with London, Ontario time:

- you are from London, Ontario and are traveling in another TZ

- you are in London, UK

In all the other cases, without no further context, Londo UK should be used because it's one of the "capitals of the world"
What’s funny is that if I ask Siri what time it is in London, it gives me the same time as it is here in Waterloo (1hr east of London Ontario).

On the other hand, if I ask what time it is in Preston, Siri gives me the time in the UK, despite the fact that I’m only 15km away from Preston Ontario!

Now if I ask what time it is in Cambridge, it gives me the local time instead of Cambridge England. Preston Ontario is actually part of Cambridge Ontario.

So what it seems to be doing is picking the nearest place that’s well known, rather than the most well known place with that name. Preston Ontario isn’t really known at all unless you’re from this area. Cambridge Ontario is a little bit more well known, though still a far cry from Cambridge England (likely due to the university).
As I understand a proportion of buybacks generally (maybe not at IBM) were financed by debt. If this was the case they would have to sell enough to cover the debt and interest first.
> bought the largest King Salmon from there

That's easily a few hundred dollars just for the salmon. Maybe over $1000 depending on the size of the salmon.

> He ate it that night but still ended up going to Apple.

No way he ate it all that night. Family friend brought us a whole king salmon from a fishing trip. Lasted a few meals. The best salmon I've ever had. Nothing like the farmed atlantic salmon you get from the supermarket.
I love cheap labour. Seriously you get what you pay for and no one wants to fucking pay what good software is worth.
The fact that this piece of "news" is front page is really stupid.

There was a BBC piece yesterday about the condition in the Malakasa camp in Greece.[1] Some of our fellow brothers literally don't have anything to eat. And while it's 2020, we still fret about what browser is better (I bet half the globe doesn't even know what a browser is or doesn't care) or spend excessive amounts of time for yet a new color theme or a shiny new website that offers 2 new buttons that the other 50 websites don't.

I think we failed. We were supposed to be the smarter ones. The best income (or close), the brightest minds, the new future, AI, the internet that connects everybody (how nicely did FB solved that). And here we are, gathered around the fire, having an intelligent conversation about nothing.

It's ridiculous how Siri is still this shitty. I have an 11 Pro and even on such an expensive phone I can't really trust it to do anything more advanced than set timers. Every few months I try to do something else and just get annoyed at how bad it is.

Before lockdown I even had it disabled entirely because it would get activated randomly from time to time, even if nobody in the vicinity said anything remotely close to "Hey Siri".
Covid-19 May Be the Needle That Pops the Higher Ed Bubble
As others have pointed out, a solution here would be to make Siri more conversational.

But that would make it almost as smart as an Infocom game from 1981. Something, something, doesn't scale, mumble, something...

A problem is that insecticides and artificial fertilizer (two main things not allowed in organic farming) cause ecological problems in the region where the farm is located, even if organic farming would need more farm land in total and would thus destroy nature elsewhere.

Many crops are better grown in greenhouses, where pests can be kept out or controlled without pesticides, and plants can be grown in stone wool and given exactly the nutrients they need. That should count as organic, but unfortunately doesn't.
I'm sure SAT scores correlate with wealth, but the more important question is if they correlate with knowledge.

In the end, there isn't any point in admitting a student to a university where they don't understand the curriculum. So the important question that I expect universities to ask themselves is: are we getting enough information about how well a student is going to be prepared for our curriculum based on their SAT score?

If rich people who know less have higher SAT scores than poor people who know more, then the systemic bias is in the SAT itself. If not, then the SAT isn't the problem, the actual school system is. And, unless they want to take on educating younger children, Universities can't to do too much to fight that type of bias.

I firmly believe that exams are in principle the only fair way to do admissions in educational institutions. They could be national exams or admissions exams created by that institution itself, but either way, as long as the exams are kept un-biased (which I'm not claiming is an easy problem to solve) and scoring is anonymous, you get the closest thing we have to a fair process.

The only alternative could be an easy exam covering just the bare-minimum knowledge, and a lottery system for everyone who passes the exam.

Of course, private universities are free to be as biased as they want. I don't think it's ethically or morally correct, but it shouldn't be illegal.
