I will be delighted to see my expectations disproven.
Consider the possibility that the entire point of many of these projects is spending money and not what you think you’re trying to build.
Hi! We were just thinking about the long term, we made this mechanism if we spend all the free requests, we will receive notifications in slack and in the mail that all the services have spent their limit. As already written in the article, we have a logic for switching services, and if the limit runs out in HERE, it will just switch. Yes we have already calculated that if the number of users grows then at this point 300,000 requests will be enough. But we have warned the business that if we create 10-15 new routes we will have to buy requests from HERE (but this is another story).
Who do I vote for if I want universal healthcare?
Ithought so. Full credit to apple then for pioneering this effort.

I appreciate some commenters saying the raspberry helped, but really it's apple who are the taking a big step forward with popularising a third player in the CPU space. Unless they are willing to sell their chipsets, I doubt it will affect consumer products much outside of their own ecosystem.

Again nothing exciting for ARM, but more the future of apple chips
Given its history, one should not assume the current administration will decide not to do something just because it's illegal or outside their traditional scope of power.

That said, I (not a lawyer) think it depends on how they do it. If they can compel Apple and Google to remove TikTok from the app stores (which I think they could with help from Congress), that would likely be enough to kill TikTok in the US.
Well written tests make refactoring a breeze.

Poorly written tests make refactoring nigh impossible, and usually don't contribute to anything other than code coverage metrics.

Focus on quality, not quantity.
The cameras are the same. The UniFi video controller is an older relatively flexible NVR software which can be deployed on any hardware. The UniFi protect controller is tied to UniFi NVR hardware such as the cloud key, is pretty slick but not very flexible.

Alternatively, it looks likely that Apple will use their own GPU designs in at least some, if not all, of their ARM Macs. So running Windows on ARM would necessitate Apple porting drivers for their GPU to Windows. I have to imagine they did a cost analysis on that and decided it wasn't worth the time to support a competing platform which most users would only want for its own compatibility layer, some for games, which would need proper DX9/10/11/12 drivers for said GPU.

(this also is probably part of the reason apple deprecated opengl, I imagine)
This seems like a good example of the problems with Silicon Valley brain, where we try to solve problems by hacking around them, rather than solving the actual problem, which is poor cycling facilities, easily solved by installing separated bike lanes.
How will they fight this? Republicans in Congress are against legal immigration so nothing will pass Congress. The right wing hates colleges and universities because they're primarily made up of liberals, look at any Fox News and Brietbart articles.
Clearly Microsoft's focus is on software. But I think you'd be surprised how early they started producing hardware. Back in 1980 they had huge successes in hardware! Starting with the Z80 Softcard and Ramcard.

Publishing the code isn’t a panacea. Someone still has to find the bug. It hopefully would make it easier to come to a consensus faster when there is a dispute. In practice I think ultimately there is little glamour and fruitfulness for exploration. What might be impactful is setting up prizes for papers to be disproven or corrected. Ultimately though we can produce, as a species, far more information than we could ever hope to verify.
I have been working as an IT guy in Japan for almost two years now, and that's pretty much my experience. Everything has to be explained in ridiculous amount of detail and hanko-stamped by 20 bosses before you can start doing anything.

Which is quite ridiculous when your work strategy needs to change as you collect more data, as you said.

I'm learning to just do my job without telling them anything, and later writing all the required documents.
Getting Started with Xcode12
Counterpoint: the general level of maturity of an individual, and in particular their emotional maturity and their social maturity, do not strongly correlate with their intellectual maturity. Someone may be advanced enough to graduate at 18 with a bachelor's degree in a technically challenging field, but lack enough self-discipline, sense of responsibilities, or basic social graces and knowledge of social codes to realize their full potential. They might also feel alienated from their older peers.

By moving through the education system at the same speed as their normal peers, they have more time to construct their personalities and learn what they really want to do later in life.
Are you just trying to troll or do you really live in that big of a bubble? Forgive my snarkiness... but you're in the 99.5%+ of opportunities given to public school students.

A good question is - did you go to a public school? Many questions could be had after this... but it's a great place to start.
It's not 1/60 the size of the original?
Are you sure you understood the abstract/title correctly? The study says there seem to be no negative social/emotional effects of academic acceleration.
I had a client that said they wanted one because it made them look like they did all kinds of stuff. They didn’t care if it was used. It was all an illusion.

It needed to portray:

“We are big enough for you to consider doing business with us and to buy our services”
I explained my problem in a confusing way. The main problem is solely that I can't find the word I want to say. Normally, I'd just freeze up and just keep racking my brain for the right word, but my coping mechanism has been finding a related word or phrase to keep the communication going.

But, you mention practicing. What do you think is the activity to practice? Are there tests/games/exercises that strengthen that part of thinking you know of?
I share your concern.

Since the response body is not encoded, there's no safe end-of-response marker byte(s) to use.

So content-length seems like the way to go. But knowing content-length ahead of time is difficult for dynamically generated content (CGI is supported after all), so they also need something similar to HTTP chunked encoding, which does complicate things a little.

I understand that keeping the Gemini client simple to implement is one of their design goals, but I don't think the same is true for the Gemini server. So I hope that they would consider adding these to the protocol. They could probably stuff the content-length or the word "chunked" in the <META> string.

Learn Array Data Structure
What's going on here is Ubiquiti want to sell you a hardware+software combination (Unifi-Protect) rather than provide a free software NVR (Unifi-Video) which could run via a container on 3rd party hardware/cloud/etc.

This is part of a trend towards a higher TCO for their products. However as a long-time owner of Ubiquiti network and security camera equipment I have to say I welcome the move as it has resulted in higher quality products. On the security camera front, Unifi-Protect still represents the best one-time Cap-Ex rather option rather than Op-Ex options such as Ring and Google Nest who charge monthly for camera cloud storage, etc.
Norec Attack: Stripping BLE Encryption from Nordic’s Library (CVE-2020–15509)
I’m unsure how they can do this without falling afoul of things like the first amendment? Short of having an import ban maybe?

But how would that apply to the app stores? They have non-US customers wanting non US sanctioned businesses?

Obviously they could terminate individual corps them if they broke criminal laws, but the reality is that almost anything that tiktok’s surveillance has done has been done by the US social networks at this point as well.
This breaks the rules at the top of the thread. Please don't do that.

Non-pharmaceutical interventions for curtailing Covid-19
This is quite literally true given the amount of money and jobs the defense base (not just direct contractors but the entire supply chain) injects into local economies. Most of American manufacturing has been off-shored. Regulations prevent defense base procurement of even raw materials (such as aluminum, titanium, and steel) not made in the US.

Presentations are made to congresspeople of the first, second, and third order economic effects this has particular to their district down to supplier street address (dealing with .shp files will one day kill me) with heat maps of surrounding economic activity driven by the location of these businesses. These four lunch places entirely sustained by this job site, those jobs helping drive a couple service industry jobs, etc.

I’ve come to view the defense contractor space as pretty much a 1:1 economic response to the hollowing out of American industry during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Onshoring back the dollars in the only mutually politically viable way. Social spending has become verboten for Republicans. “Big business” is the same for Democrats. But they both know they need this massive injection of cash into the American economy to avoid the political situation becoming factually untenable. I think Americans probably need significantly more discontent and mistreatment by the state in order to become politically incoherent but if this spending (which is essentially welfare due to its excess post Cold War) disappeared it would be guaranteed.
Aside from everything else, writing tests is just as much about writing testable code. Not everything that makes code easier to test makes code better, but often times many things do; after all, nothing is easier to test than a simple, small, pure function with inputs and outputs.

I prefer trying to focus on table driven testing where I can write a single test that exercises the code various ways. This is not applicable to all types of software, but it is wonderful for things like parsers, emitters, algorithms, data structures... things that test well.

Unit tests like this are cheap but make it easy to assert that the code works. If you can assert that your individual functions do what you expect, it makes debugging and understanding software easier.

I like to think of testing as executable debugging. It’s like a debugging session that is executed over and over again. If your tests are difficult to maintain it may say something about what they are asserting or what they are testing.
TrackR – User’s True Coordinates Exposed
The US is also considering: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-tiktok-china-pompeo/p...
One strategy that I'm really enjoying at a current gig: have the person writing the front-end write the end-to-end tests (or at least the specs) for the person writing the back-end. Just having a fresh set of eyes on the tests has flushed out a lot of edge cases, and tests make a perfect place to iron out small behavioral details. It really solves the "same mind writing the code and tests" issue.

Of course, this isn't always feasible (and is a little unfair to the frontend person in terms of workload).
I feel in a few years people will look back and laugh at all the useless tests we wrote.

I still haven't seen a test that can prove even an identity function is correct. Yet it's obvious to the programmer.

We lack the technology to properly test software. I like to think tests are a way to implement twice and hope you got it right at least once. But we aren't even to that point yet.
>> Again, my post mentioned "the personal vehicle", not the ICE or carbonization of the economy more generally, which indeed enabled unparalleled growth

As for the rest? The west was settled by track layers.
Protect is their 'hybrid cloud' product. Authentication and remote access are managed by their servers, but the videos are stored locally.

My guess is they managed to re-implement enough features in Protect that, after years of neglect, they could officially kill Video.

It's still not feature complete :-/
Well written tests make trivial refactoring a breeze.

High level refactoring means writing new tests. Which often kills the effort before you begin.
Protecting Yourself Against Government Surveillance

Hindsight is 20/20, and not really fair, but leaving any judging tone out of it, yes, AAL would have benefited from more cash on hand. Or, maybe it was the right decision after all if they get bailed out.

There's also more than revenue and profits.... AAL may also have had debt or a lack of spare cash; I couldn't find exact breakdowns but some articles suggest their buybacks caused negative free cash flow

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-16/u-s-airli...

Contrast with AAPL and GOOG who had, and have, tons of cash on hand. As of 2019, $102B and $117B respectively, which makes them them #2 and #1.

When I was a teenager, I felt much less alienated from adults than I did from high school students, who lived in a weird, artificial, often hostile social bubble with rules unlike anywhere else:

When I heard recently about the last person who got pension money from the us civil war, I asked myself if the us military is the start for something like an universal basic income.
Does any of that matter if they move through the system faster if they ultimately, as the abstract suggests, don't suffer psychologically by age 50? Whether they're "socialized" seems unrelated to whether they find personal happiness.
One could also argue that emotionally mature(er) students have their emotional growth stunted by being forced to study and socialize with the less mature students.
Here's my data point to the contrary: I entered college a few weeks short of my 17th birthday in the early 1980's. I was about 1.5 years younger than others in my class, on average. I made many good friends, but my relative lack of maturity still had a huge impact on my emotional well-being (especially when it came to dating). I'm now in my 50's and still dealing with the psychological repercussions of my parents' decision to accelerate me.
From what I've heard, the biggest drawback is that if you have more than a handful of cameras that you want to record in reasonably high definition, then none of Ubiquiti's hardware can keep up.
Lot of people here complaining that grocery delivery sucks because the shoppers pick bad produce.

That's because the current business models treat grocery shopping as unskilled labor.

I certainly don't think that picking a good peach or watermelon is an unskilled job. In fact any time my wife gets complex produce like that it sucks and I have stopped asking her to buy any produce. Spending an hour to go and pick some high quality food is a skill that, if you want it done right, will cost you some money.

This is possible to do as even fancy restaurants have employees who they trust to obtain the correct produce that they need. All it needs is a consistent shopper on a week-to-week basis (so they can learn what you want) and the willingness of the customer to pay appropriately.
A lot of times the victims give these type of information to the scammer. Not saying this is what happened to your parents, but my aunt got a call where a young man was crying and SHE was the one that asked for my name. From there it was quick for the scammer to say "yeah, I am here with so-and-so". Thankfully she got stopped outside the bank branch by a police officer who saw her panicking and was able to talk her out of it.
Indeed. I should probably have made it clear that I find these incredibly frustrating almost any time I find them in the wild as well. Sorry for being unclear.

Fund education sufficiently that "No Child Left Behind" doesn't turn into "No Child Allowed Ahead".
I believe this dates back to 2001 where one of the hijackers was in the US on a student visa despite never attending any classes. Basically you require a babysitter to be allowed to stay.

As for things that are "temporary", it's looking like the pandemic situation isn't changing any time soon unfortunately. I think everyone is just adapting. The govt is saying going totally online cannot become the new normal for internationals.

Students are certainly able to transfer, by the way. I know students who failed and rushed to apply to yet another school (they always find one too) to avoid being sent home as a result.

It doesn't have to be done with accelerated individuals not experiencing that school environment - just expand existing dual-credit systems and make it possible to spend your four high school years doing dual credit for the entire common core curriculum in your normal high school environment. That alone would probably make a huge difference. Not sure what the equivalent for trades would look like, I don't know enough about the academic process for those. But my high school had an auto shop, so it would be doable in at least one place for at least one trade.

Academic progression does not necessarily have to be tied in lockstep with social development.
No. Most of the deriders here have no idea of the amount of good they do.
Write a test for a simple identity function that simply returns its only argument.

An identity function should be as testable as they come.
I think the number of previous frames for typical settings went from about 4 to about 6 as we went from H.264 to H.265. And the actual max in H.264 was 16. So that doesn't seem like a huge factor.

Ultra X Prime Testosterone

These penis improvement pills have been demonstrated deductively to be useful for human wellbeing as they are produced using common fixings with no expansion of counterfeit fixings. Both the private and general wellbeing places have likewise been prescribing it for couples that need to disturb their relationships because of the lady detesting the sex. In this way, the wellbeing habitats are prescribing it to couples for enduring sex that may make the relationships not to crash.

From the above investigation, consequently, it tends to be seen that male extra is compelling despite the fact that a few people will begin encountering an adjustment in their erection in hardly any days' time while it takes a long time for other people. The penis will develop to about 2.6 to 3 creeps inside a half year when you are erect.

People should not be deliberately handicapped. Forcing someone to waste years of their life is bad. School is so unlike every other social institution that it is (close to) useless as preparation for anything else. Outside school people actually care whether you do your work, and if your don’t do it there are real consequences, but the standards are completely different, depending on the workplace. Outside school if you’re surrounded by assholes you can just leave unless you’re in prison. Outside school the chances of physical violence being overlooked or covered up by the authorities nominally in charge of your welfare are much smaller. Outside school there are no contexts so rigidly age segregated.

People become responsible when responsibility is thrust on them. They do better, faster with real support. School doesn’t do that. It infantilises people. Nothing you do in school matters of itself. You can choose to do projects or research that people care about but that’s completely optional.
Yeah. Higher quality is nice. But being sold on open source software availability and then “losing” it in this way feels like a ripoff. This is really not a good move.

> Observers have said the new law forces companies doing business in Hong Kong to provide user data to the Chinese government as well as to comply with censorship requests.

This is striking, I have not heard of this interpretation of the new law before.

If that’s actually true, any global company (Facebook, Google, Apple, etc.) that remains operating in HK can be assumed to be sharing private communication data/metadata with CCP, regardless of what its privacy policy says.
1.5 years isn't even that much? I mean you can probably find that variance within any cohort so I doubt it was the acceleration that caused any psychological repercussions.
True, though small differences when you are young can seem radically more important than they really are. tldr; Teenagers are very very insecure.
