> If you are caught where you are not able to provide your MFA token and without these backup methods, your account will be irrecoverable.

This seems absurd. I vaguely remember another SaaS tool I used that had this policy, but I don’t understand it. Even crypto exchanges allow recovery if you lose all traditional recovery methods by submitting documentation like your scanned driver’s license among a couple other pieces of info proving you are who you are.

If you offer MFA, I love the idea of following best security practices for users recovering their accounts when losing MFA devices/tokens/etc., but there has to be a “best practice” that includes recovering an account after a due diligence process has been followed proving who a user is who she says if she lost all normal recovery methods.

Edit: It does look like they have a different, less “fatal” avenue to recover work related accounts (“What if this is a work account?“ FAQ), but I’d still be scared to host my FOSS repos there and make a mistake only to lose my account forever.

Ok, we'll change to that from https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-31/instacart... on the assumption that more people can read it. Thanks!
Ah man. Thanks for checking out the videos haha. Trying to educate folks and explaining things always helps you deepen your knowledge on a thing. So a major win-win. I think it's also been helping my SEO.

What about the end stood out? Which video?
This almost certainly means Internet Explorer, if they’re only referring to ES6. But honestly I love all the feature since then. It’s actually difficult for me to imagine not using TypeScript these days, let alone not having access to asynchronous/await or async iterables, plus all the tiny little syntax improvements it’s easy to take for granted like Array.includes()
That could be construed as Instacart assigning orders to their shoppers which would likely make them employees eligible for benefits, something they want to avoid at all costs. This may already be the case in CA regardless of what they do, but they definitely want to avoid paying any benefits for their workers in any state where this is not yet currently the case.
These are awesome! I was blown away.

Would you consider an AGPL dual-license for the (non-free) illustrations? Right now, the license prohibits redistribution of any sort, which makes these unusable in free software.

An AGPL dual-license would:

1) Allow redistribution with open source / free software projects, which would be awesome.

2) Require anyone who integrated these into a proprietary system to buy a normal commercial-use license from you.

It's amazing how badly the free software community needs your talent!

Grocery shopping is a bit different from just picking up a food order. You may only have the time (or desire) to do smaller orders and not want to deal with larger more time consuming ones. Or maybe you don't want to drive farther to certain stores etc....
Thanks for your time and attention on the matter; I've enjoyed the thread. I think you might have convinced me on that point; certainly my attempts to follow up were incoherent to the point where even I could tell.

Bob's strategy is bunk, we've started by assuming something that is false. Therefore, the assumption that the reals are countable might already invalidate the proof that a bounded but monotonically increasing sequence converges. If that assumption is invalid, then the argument in this proof might already fail even before the contradiction we later identify. So it is obvious to me we're going to have a contradiction. But the contradiction might be elsewhere than in the true facts that the proof gives. So the proof might not be correct.

I suppose I accept the proof will find a contradiction, but I'm not sure that the contradiction it found was the first one to arise. I can imagine that this might be a proof that Bob has a winning strategy without further argument:

* Reals are countable

* Bounded monotonic increasing sequence converges to a Real

* These are inconsistent assumptions so I can prove anything

* Therefore Bob has a winning strategy

So that means all the additional logic the proof adds in has to be re-verified from first principles to ensure that everything is still valid and internally consistent as far as it went after assuming that the reals are countable. I'm not good enough at maths to know that this specific proof of a winning strategy doesn't contain subtle flaws, so I don't trust it (maybe proof by contradiction just isn't for me). I struggle to accept it as simpler - the Cantor proof constructs a direct counterexample and is very satisfying to me.
Why do we have laws for trade secrets? Seems like that lowers wages and decreases innovation. Really bad for majority of people. I understand they are fantastic for minority of people who are shareholders, but are there contrarians who think we should do away with legal protections for them?

They can add any sort of captcha challenge or publish fake juicy shopping orders as honeypot, since the bots will instantly grab them.

Of course, the next step will be to pay a sweatshop in a poor country to contantly monitor and grab the offers. There's no end to human greed, as evidenced by the Uber Eats couriers outsourcing to undocumented migrants at pennies on the dollar (or the euro) in France.
Fair point.

There is definitely a wide audience on desktop. According to my analytics. Most of the traffic came from desktop. At best it got to 50/50.

That said. I am focused on nailing this on mobile as well, once I get some resources.

I agree itll be killer to produce on the go.
This looks like it might come in handy.

I started working with Web-scraping roughly around '95 (initially for a personalized newspaper metaphor for Web software agent reporting), and wrote HtmlChewer, an HTML parser in Java designed for that purpose. A while later, I moved my rapid R&D work to Scheme, where I wrote the `htmlprag` permissive parser, now known as the `html-parsing` package in Racket and other Scheme dialects.

By the time I was using Scheme, my scraping usually ended up starting with XPath, to get a starting point subtree of the DOM, then used a mix of arbitrary code and sometimes a proprietary pattern-based destructuring DSL, to extract info from the subtree. And sometimes filtering/transformation algorithms across a big free-form-ish text subtree (e.g., for simplifying the articles of a site a custom crawler scraped, for building a labeled corpus for an ML research project).

Of course we've always had resilience problems for Web scraping, even as the Web changed dramatically.

In general, my scraping methods usually ends up hand-crafted (and this was starting before in-browser development tools with element pickers and DOM editors), and much of the guesswork/art of it was in coming up with queries and transforms that seemed like they might keep working the next time the site changed its HTML. In 2004 I did make a small tool to automate a "starting point" for hand-crafting such an XPath query: https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket/webscraperhelper/

What would 1Password add to keepassxc+Dropbox for personal use? It only subtracts from the security.

I get that organizations with many users don’t want to deal with database management. For personal use though, keepassxc is fine.
Awesome. Ill put this in the backlog. Maybe letting the user know they can only have one audio at a time and asking if they want to swap.
I'm not sure that "poorly" is an entirely accurate description of Godot's localization abilities.

The GSOC project you linked to is about enhancing the existing .po based feature: "In Godot, we [already] have two ways of importing translation - by using CSV or PO files."

Here's a blog post about someone's experience doing a translation for a Godot game: https://sites.miis.edu/vprolow/2019/12/15/godot-game-localiz...

My insight was an eng. student whose novel outcome of a maths model in Fortran on a mainframe depended on his not understanding what uninitialised arrays were. This was in the 80s.

There was no interesting novel outcome: he was random-sampling prior states of memory.

I felt very bad for him, it was mid-stage. I didn't hear how he resolved it.

The other side of this is the crisis which only emerges in the viva. I was working in Leeds uni in the 80s and overheard an external discussing a case he had: it was obvious the results were fraud. They made the student and his supervisor to the sums in the room, on the blackboard. He didn't get his thesis.
Smaller teams than Instacart have put up effective fights against cheating. It's an arms race, but so what? The goal is to make cheating uneconomical, not impossible.
I've found great success with KeePass and Dropbox. I use the Kee plugin in Firefox that allows autofill in the browser, and KeePass2Android on my phone which supports pluggable autofill for browsers and apps on Android.

It's not as trivial to set up as Lockwise or 1Password, but I prefer this setup because:

- 100% Open Source
- I own the keyring and can sync it across literally all of my machines, plus the cloud storage provider(s) of my choice seamlessly
- The keyring is protected by a key that only I know, no third party is handling the unlock on my behalf
So she claimed she had been raped while sleeping over at a friend's house by the father of the friend. He claimed it never happened. She only told her mother and step-father around 2-3 weeks afterwards about it.

She was forced (she was not able to choose) to take pregnancy rejection medication but refused/declined to have a physical examination/rape kit done (she had a choice in this). So essentially there was no physical evidence (in the trial at least) that sex had ever occurred. Also, the trial was taking place around 6 years after the alledged incident.

What we did have was a very detailed, consistent, plausible, and compelling recount of events leading up to, during, and after the rape from the 13 year old victim in a police interview about a month after it occured and also another interview around 2 years later. Watching the interviews, and based on the type emotion she showed at particular points, the language (including body language) she used to describe the events etc it was difficult to not believe her, it was in fact heart breaking to watch and listen to.

I guess my point is that all that "soft" information that we received from the video recorded interview was indeed information that we used to assess whether we thought she was telling the truth or not or whether she was coached or was making it up, for whatever reason. We were in fact instructed by the judge to use that information to make our assessment whether there was reasonable doubt or not.

I'm not sure how you separate this type of information from other information we also receive eg. the physical attractiveness of the accused and defendant and how the legal system can remove this type of bias. Based on other comments here, I'm also no longer sure about whether we, as a jury, should be using that soft information, and I'd love to see results from studies about how juries assess evidence when it is presented in different ways as suggested here.

It blows my mind that there are protestors at San Quentin agitating for prisoners to be released into the public when the prison is one of the biggest cohorts of COVID in the entire region.

They literally let people walk out of prison and get on a public bus, after spendings months in close quarters amidst the worst outbreak in the Bay Area.

Those problems are typically rectified in a year or so. Presumably the hardware should last longer. Perhaps the antiport faction got their way.
It's not just AI, every change is an opportunity China can grasp. They got enough men, money, and are motivated to compete in the market. If nothing is changing, it would be very hard to challenge current monopolies, but we're living in a world that is rapidly changing.

An example is the electric vehicle. Though EV cannot replace traditional vehicles at a full scale right now, the traditional vehicle industry is not very efficient, things are not standardized or intentionally walled by monopolies. As for EV, conceptually it should be simpler, more straightforward, and more standardized, then companies can easily prototyping and mass-producing EV on a really large scale - that's what China good at, what they're not good at is they don't have recognizable branding, but there are not too many EV brandings as traditional vehicle brandings like Daimler or VW. Both government and companies see this as a great opportunity to lead these market so it's been greatly promoted.

The semiconductor industry is another field that China may want to compete in the future. Traditionally, Intel is pretty much non-challengable. However, since mobile become dominant, and Apple started to get rid of X86 and move to Arm, there might be a big change in the future. If operating systems and software are willing to support Arm, it would create yet another chance for China to participate in the competition.
I got my startup failure story out of the way in 2000, so I am lucky there. But yes, Agile has some fatigue for some who are tired of the faddishness. Some people find it invigorating, and more power to them.

My guess is that tons of these kinds of jobs are out there because the real world still exists and the people in it are often using computers, but perhaps not as "centrally" to their jobs. However, people like you and I can provide options to them that they did not have before, and sometimes may not have even envisioned. Just as a case in point, this new place was setting up some machines and had a few tedious configuration problems, so I used batch files and a few more things to save them time and add reproducible results. They were shocked but this was stuff for me where I had to dust off things I had forgotten a decade prior.

In my previous job, I found areas of satisfaction as I noticed above, and they were all tied to people (not users), to physical objects (rather than instatiations of some class), and so on. I noticed how much churn there was, how often things would have to be redone not because anything realistic demanded it, but because of style, or some kind of platform migration, or something else End-of-Lifed, and so on. Indeed, constant platform migration made me realize that nomads are not known for their lasting works of architecture.
I'll believe they have UX teams when they offer an easily accessible option to turn those things off. There's zero reason why they can't target both use cases with a simple toggle to turn animations on and off. The stupidity is expanded when this exists but is not easily accessible. Those that haven't thought of that yet are indeed stupid (Apple). Some videogames have the same issue with unskippable cut scenes. Am I not the target audience there either? If not, then who is? Who wants to watch the same cut-scene a thousand times? The UX is equally horrific in both cases and in both cases, clearly no thought went into the UX whatsoever.

> It seems inconsistent to punish technologists like Levandowski when we don't punish bankers, CEOs, and polluters with the the same enthusiasm.

Levandowski was cofounder and CEO of Otto, and is being punished directly for how he got there, and later (until charged) cofounder and CEO at Pronto.ai.

So, I'd say we charge CEOs with exactly the enthusiasm we charge Levandowski.
Does this dodge the problem of political speech ?
This story is on the front page of every major news site in the world right now.

They're not providing an "in-depth analysis" because there aren't yet sufficient facts to analyze. Even the authorities don't yet know what actually exploded, or what caused the explosion, or the number of dead, or the number of wounded, or the number of missing.

> How well does godot support dynamic/programmatic layout

It supports this through use of its "Container" UI Controls--which have a bit of a steep learning curve but works pretty well.

> I'd also take issue with the notion that 2D UI frameworks based on game engines are more performant than their alternatives, because game engines are optimized for 3D graphics

One aspect of Godot that is a bit different in this regard is that pre-3.0 the focus was very much more on the 2D side of things, so the 2D support isn't just "a flat 2D plane in a 3D world" unlike some other engines.
Great points.

I believe so. I don't think it's a zero sum game and competition is great.

I have a vision for this product and my main goal is to overload the user with value and an amazing product.

I want to have a marketplace and be the go to spot for the best templates (not overly cookie cutter, all beautiful designs), everything needs to be well designed and have a premium feel.

I also plan to roll out features other players don't have - they have been copying me for a minute.

So I am not going to reveal them all but just know my goal is to bridge the gap between power and ease of use. Mix that with premium assets, a market place, and the user always in mind as a priority. I think I'll have a fighting chance.
Have you been to China? The tier 1 cities like Beijing and Shanghai are positively manicured compared to the average US city (or Paris, for that matter).

Of course it's a huge country and it's not too hard to find an open-air market with meat hanging on hooks or public lavatories that you wouldn't want to enter without a hazmat suit, but people emptying their night soil out the window into the street below is not really a thing anymore.
I'm sure the criminals who get special dispensation due to COVID tend to skew higher on the income/wealth scale.
It's not a tech thing. It's that Levandowski stole from billionaires and wasn't a billionaire himself.

This is so spot on. I work for a biotech start-up that is obviously very research intensive. It's amazing to see the CEO, who has an undergrad in bio and an MBA, corral the PhD researchers and get them on track.

He understands about 40% as much about the biology, yet he's very good at getting people to drop/trim things that are not going to be worthwhile. He often adds tons of constraints that allow our researchers to hone in on what's going to drive the company forward instead of languishing in a million possibilities.

A courtesy not afforded to the largely not-rich, not-white general prison population. I don't think Levandowski should be treated worse, just noting it would be nice if less privileged prisoners were treated as humanely.
Certifying authenticity is a manual process and costs money. Even though I think GitLab could have handled it better, I understand their reasons.
Think of it this way - how long can this network exist without having to deal with political speech ?

I love how the kneejerk reaction to any bot problem is "captchas". I'm not sure how that would even help. If there are 20 jobs available, and 3 of them are high paying, having a bot sort through the list for you still gives you an advantage. Sure, it's better than having someone claim all 3 of them at the same time, but you can achive the same effect by having a cooldown of 5 seconds (enforced server side). Also, with a cooldown, you can't get an advantage (eg. entering a captcha faster with keyboard)
Yup, have been using Enpass exactly for the reason that there has never been a 1Password for Linux until now.

Enpass always worked seamlessly, and it was a one-time purchase for me back then. (They changed it to a subscription model a year ago)
Not the point of the article, but the slow-down from using regular expressions can be avoided in this case by instead generating each case permutation and searching on that. Although its actually a bit more complex because you need to cut off doing this for long strings to avoid too many permutations but you get the idea.

Posting just in case someone thinks they need to build an index in order to case-insensitive search a few gigabytes of text. Its actually how tools like ripgrep tend to work (assuming it can do literal extraction of the regular expression). The moment you get to 10's of gigabytes though an index is probably what you need.

I actually have some Go code (since the example was in Go) which does this and assuming you are doing literal searches is a drop in replacement for re.FindAllIndex https://github.com/boyter/cs/blob/master/str/index.go#L110 which also does simple case folding for you.
I love pair programming. I teach loads of juniors, that's how I know so many devs (that and hiring/recruiting).

So, the features of LiveShare I found are better handled with external tools. But that is mostly because I don't want anyone to become to dependent on one tool. How can I LiveShare between emacs and Sublime? WebRTC screenshare+A/V works a treat, across editors and systems.

I don't find VSCode, or it's extension super compelling. But it is very nice.

I think the feature I like the best, built in, is that debugger - that's easier/smoother than Atom, or jEdit or any others that I've used in the last 20 years. It's like what was available in Visual Studio 6 (c1999).
