> Windows being the platform which has the least software support

What a strange universe you must inhabit. Windows still utterly dominates the software landscape except in web stuff. I have yet to work at an org that didn't have a dependence on many pieces of software that are exclusively Windows.
There doesn't appear to be any dearth of traffic enforcement in general in the United States. They carry special devices with them just to measure your window tint, FFS. Is there some reason they can't be incentivized to enforce actual safety laws like this one, too (or instead)?

As i see it, modern OSs are trying to remove the idea of “saving”, which confuses most of non techies and it is actually obsolete most of the time.

I still Ctrl+S automatically though:(
I'm kind of curious why the headphone matters? I was mildly annoyed when phones dropped the jack, but you know... get a set of bluetooth headphones, what's the problem? Frankly, not having to bother with the wires is simply a plus.
I imagine in most cases that's just swapping halogens for HIDs. Lots of cars these days have HIDs (or LEDs, which look very similar to most people). I can't imagine you'd stand out. Maybe if you imported matrix lights.
I am grimly curious how many Americans would view a primitive combination of high beam/low beam/fog lamps/accent lights as being preferable to a sophisticated headlight that can do it all, simply because they get off on dazzling people with their absurd headlights.
There's wireless charging adapters, not ideal, no fast charging, but it's something. Or magnetic cables which I find is better solution. Ultimately, nothing beats just having a massive battery and 2-3 day endurance.
Hmm.. you're right that it might introduce uncertainty about key formats, allowed chars/length etc.

I'd like to avoid JWTs and use the simplicity of "Basic" (username/password)... but borrowing your idea I could generate it clientside on the website?
Enter email and immediately display a API key (base64 of email+random secret/guid) that is stored ("activated") when the first API call hits the server.

If you try to call the API with same email but different secret, it's 401.

It's indeed going to have a free tier with throttling. A paid tier with other rate limits and some premium features might come down the road.

Some European cars are sold with laser head lights as an optional extra. As a driver meeting usch a vehicle I ponder if that is safe for my eyesight? After recent scandals I don’t fully trust the car industry to self regulate as they have mislead consumers before for example Dieselgate. Thus I think it’s good that there is car safety regulations but that led lights probably should be allowed. I think too many consumer decisions are made on the basis of ego what is good for me/self as a consumer and not necessarily what is good for others.
You will see them far more often on large trucks in the USA these days.

Especially true for midwest drives across long stretches at night where the brightness is much more annoying than in the middle of a city.

If the truck is lifted, the brightest points of the light can hit you from further away, worsening the problem.

It is also bad when someone is behind you with this setup, especially lifted trucks. Some cars have a rear mirror that can dim them to tolerable levels, but not the side mirrors. So you'll get flashes from them as you drive unless you lean forward or angle the mirrors away.

Might be, but right now I don't see D ever taking off, rather going on the down slope of adoption curve, while C++ despite its warts, keeps increasing adoption thanks to AI, GPGPU shaders and driver SDKs for all major OSes.

By the way no one at Remedy is using D nowadays, while the number of studios using C# alongside C++ keeps increasing.
Yup. I'm honestly impressed that Apple's services revenue is now 50% of iPhone revenue [1].

Yes, some forms of dwarfism cause that.

> "To address the unsafe condition, the FAA proposes to require four design changes: (1) installing updated flight control software (with new control laws) for the FCC operational program software (OPS), (2) installing updated MDS display processing computer (DPC) software to generate an AOA disagree alert, (3) revising certain AFM flightcrew operating procedures, and (4) changing the routing of horizontal stabilizer trim wires."

> "The first design change is intended to prevent erroneous MCAS activation. The second design change alerts the pilots that the airplane’s two AOA sensors are disagreeing by a certain amount indicating a potential AOA sensor failure. The third design change is intended to ensure that the flightcrew has the means to recognize and respond to erroneous stabilizer movement and the effects of a potential AOA sensor failure. The fourth design change is intended to restore compliance with the FAA’s latest wire separation safety standards."

Notably the FAA does not required a 3rd AoA sensor, but simply for software to monitor both sensors, compare the values, and if they disagree beyond a given threshold, to light an "AoA Disagree" lamp and disable MCAS for the remainder of the flight.

MCAS will also only be allowed to activate one time per "High AoA" event. The AoA sensors must return to a normal range before MCAS is allowed to activate again.

Finally, they must limit the maximum MCAS command authority within a set range so that manual control can always maintain altitude, whereas previously MCAS would command horizontal stabilizer adjustments without any regard to the current position.

It seems that in an AOA DISAGREE situation, the flight is still permitted to take off.

In my non-expert summary, they seem to be doing the absolute minimum amount of work possible to "address" the problem, and dodge completely the fundamental contradiction of why one would implement an unreliable-by-design MCAS system, hobble the control authority of that system, and further, permit flight when that system is known to be disabled.

In light of these admissions, I cannot comprehend why the MCAS system exists at all, and how the added complexity (variance in airframe operation) is worth any possible benefit.

In Elon-speak, the best part is no part. The best system is no system. So if you admit you can fly without it, why leave something in which is unpredictable, unreliable, and already proven to be deadly?

EDIT: The total cost of compliance for applying these changes to 73 existing airframes is estimated to be ~$1 million, 70% of which is the wiring harness change. 
The software change itself seems to amount to about 20 lines of code, so let's call it $20 million.
 Sorry, this seems like an absolute joke, and right now I'm pretty angry that this is what they came up with after "60,000 hours of review".
Trump: 'substantial portion' of TikTok-Microsoft deal would have to go to US Gov
Real cameras have been doing "HDR" for ages, since their sensors have 12-14 stops of dynamic range, but JPEG only has 8. And it works incredibly well, just like the color science Nikon and Canon have figured out, a thing smartphones are lacking as well. With a lot of light smartphones can take very good pictures as far as resolution is concerned, but color and dynamic range rendering are consistently poor. For me it's rare that I need to change the colors my Nikon camera produces, and if I do, it's usually just a slight tweak (a few hundred Kelvin of red-blue shift or maybe a tiny magenta-green adjustment), while the colors in practically every iPhone shot are lacking and require effort to get to a satisfactory level.
I disagree. If a language is positioning itself as a python alternative, it needs to handle production readiness. If I were to guess, python is used in more production environments than in prototyping environments, but I don't have data to prove. What's most likely true is that production systems aren't a minuscule portion of a language's application - it is a significant chunk and Julia just isn't there yet. Hopeful though.
My parents live near Lake Michigan (although decidedly NOT on the lake) and I made the mistake of visiting them last weekend and driving home on Sunday night when everyone was migrating from their lake house back to the city.

I think I spent roughly half the drive back with stars in my eyes from people in Audis and BMWs blowing by me with their ridiculously bright headlights. If I made the mistake of checking my blindspot at the wrong moment of glancing in the side mirror when one of them was blowing by me I'd be left half blind.

I don't know whether they were driving with their high beams on accidentally on a crowded expressway or if their lights were just that bright but it was a damned menace. Give me shittier yellow old style bulbs any day over that.
I've been wondering for years what the hell people were doing with their phones to make them run out of battery in a day. I can't remember the last time any phone I've had got below 50% on a day with normal usage.

I guess people play a lot of mobile games?
Didn't downvote you, but maybe because it's quite off topic?
People should be in control of the money they earn, because that's the only time there's any skin in the game.

If you think The Government == The People, you're out of your mind. It's a nice ideal, but it's never been achieved in a modern nation state. Some nation states are less abusive than others, but that's as good as it gets.

The government is careless with spending and can't be trusted with people's money because they didn't earn the money they have. They took it out of people's paychecks, and if they run out, they can levy more taxes or just print more, there's no incentive to be thoughtful, careful, or diligent. At any rate, when the government is reckless with people's money, it's never the government that has to feel any pain.

Is it really O(2^N)? If so, how'd you determine that so quickly? I'd like that intuition.

I do ok at big-O reasoning, but in this case turning probabilities into big-O eludes me.

In the video, there's an opposite maze which biases the guests to walk towards the exit, making it much easier to solve. What's the big-O of that version?
We’re going to see a lot of those plot elements in the near future.

I mean, that's honestly really hard sometimes.

On mobile you very often simply don't have the space for text.

And if you say "well just make it a scrollable area for all the options" let me tell you, many people will never realize there are any further options to be scrolled to, especially if your phone's height randomly happens to make it so that the viewport area terminates between lines rather than in the middle of a line.

And just in case you say "well then you shouldn't have that many options, simple is better", you're probably wrong. The functionality is probably there because it's necessary for certain users.

I agree it's a little annoying to have to learn what the icons mean. But they're also awfully standardized at this point. There are a couple different common versions of menu and share and link, and occasionally the context doesn't clarify among search/find/zoom or back/undo... but otherwise it's pretty good. A gear icon always means settings, a person icon always means user/account, etc.

For real -- every computing environment has common conventions you just have to learn, whether Ctrl+Z/X/C/V, or pinch-to-zoom, or what the Apple logo is for in your menu. Icons aren't particularly worse here.
Well, Hifive Unleashed is a dev board with tons of features for developer, a market where $1000 is pretty okay price. It has DDR4 ECC RAM,

RPi is another story: it's a single board computer with exposed GPIO and used to be shipped with ancient GPU.

Hifive1 is more of a competitor to Arduino if you can call it that. They even have the same pinout for expansion.

They are quite pricy, like you said, due to early adopter fee. However, you gotta understand that SiFive develop their cores and unlike Arduino RPi can't just slap something that is already produced and ready to be mounted on a board.
The camera on the Pixel a-series is a huge improvement over 'budget' Android phones. Getting timely updates and a couple years of support is nice too.

Some of them are great, but some of them aren't aligned with the pixel grid and thus look terrible.

I don’t disagree with your numbers.

My point is Vietnam has been very strict about controlling for new cases and even then, a bunch popped up and they don’t know 100% how that happened.
You can't legislate away the fact that people stop wanting to have anything to do with each other, in spite of being 100% convinced that it's not going to happen to them.

the best feeling i get is when i pick up a book or watch a documentary or go and enjoy the weather outside. it truly boosts my mood and makes me feel like a human

>>Between early March and early May, roughly 110,000 small businesses nationwide shut down, according to researchers at Harvard.

I tracked down the paper[1] they referenced and Table 5 was an eye opener. While "only" 110K small businesses were estimated to have shut down out of 30M[2] small businesses nationwide (0.37%), the really grim survey results are summarized in Table 5 of the paper titled "Reported Likelihood of Remaining Open by Industry and Hypothetical Crisis Duration". The restaurant/bar/catering category surveyed back in late March believed their chance of survival would only be 0.15 if the shutdowns lasted through to December.

All good points, although. While I agree Typescript as it exists now does not have to die, I'm arguing for a fork of it for those of us (and I suspect we are many) that would prefer a cleaner TypeScript-esque language.
Even if there are no text, add tooltips.

The crazy part is that apps without descriptions and tooltips do not include help files.

The worst offenders are electron apps from devs who use Macs exclusively.
Only anecdotally, but old iphones (more than 3 years old, such as in my case the original iphone SE) have poor enough battery life expectancy that I'm not sure I'd call longevity a big win for iOS.
People simply can't conceive of the magnitude of the slow motion collapse that is occurring. It's a familiarity / recency bias.
Rad: Better Visual Object Tracking
This is great.

My Pixel 3 XL has broken Bluetooth/wifi connectivity (even after a factory reset, "Bluetooth keeps stopping"). And it only connects via USB-C for headphone or charging some of the time in a specific orientation (even after cleaning out the charging port with a paperclip and flashlight).

The device is just out of warranty but within credit-card extended warranty so I'm thinking of rolling the dice on the $481 Google Store-mediated repair process and hoping they fill out a form that Amex provides. (Risk is that, after this problem showed up, I also dropped it and got a cracked screen, so Amex might not be on board with also reimbursing screen-crack repairs.)

Aside from not having reliable Wifi, Bluetooth, or USB-C connectivity I've been very happy with the Pixel and looking forward to using a 4A while I wait to see what happens with repairs on the 3XL.
I appreciate your patience in dealing with my sarcastic tone, and the amount of nonsense you must put with over the years. But please don't personally attack me with name calling. Like the guide says, "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

So thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will do better!
Impressive! Didn’t know Ken did audio reviews too.
I believe he was referring to encapsulation of allocations in constructors, and implicit invocations of the copy operator and constructor. He may have also been referring to a lot of how STL works, though the STL is pretty explicit about its allocations & behaviour.
