The biggest hurdle for me with these tools is CSV import - banks are so crappy with them. If only we had a universal banking API system that all these tools could tap into. "Challenger" banks like Monzo and N26 and so on could unite behind a form of OAuth for banks that would kick ass.
Lol, mine is simply nicknamed "Toto", which here in France is the equivalent of "foo" and also a naughty child character in jokes.
Could you elaborate on what your point is? I am an American and I trust the American government to look out for my interests a lot more than I do the Chinese. In fact I have no problem at all with Schmidt's efforts to accelerate AI usage in our military.
So what? If there is a total lockdown for covid, then there should be a total ban on cars, except for travels that are vital to the economy. The air in cities was perfect during the most strict lockdown phase.
It's a distraction; care about your own learning at whatever pace.
Life is Beautiful is a great movie, except the end which is bland, typical, and (for me of course) ruined most of the feelings.
My experience of Ruby, which is admittedly a few years old, is that people did use multiple Ruby environments through e.g rbenv to manage different sets of gem versions, which is what "virtual envs" are the equivalent of.

Now, I do agree the Python tooling situation is kind of a mess, but there you can still do:

"pip install the-package"

And you're just as good, all the other tools are when you're trying to do stuff harder like:

- Maintain multiple development environments
- Publish new packages
- Build binary packages
- Handle Windows

I think on Ruby you need tools beyond "gem install" to do those as well. The point is how we achieve simplicity while keeping the ability to do those things.
I hate when words drift in meaning and I am not happy to see the "conservatism" label being used with clearly alt-right media. I would go as far as argue that the GOP does not not represent conservative values any more and the party is Conservative in name only.

(Likewise I hate it when socialism is labeled as liberalism in the US, or when cronyism and corruption are labeled as capitalism.)
The older you get, the more you understand this.
Gboard is not perfect and shows some erratic behavior described by the parent poster, but it isn't as bad as Apple's keyboard in my experience.

However, SwiftKey might be more conservative and feels a bit slower at times, but its autocorrect and prediction do a really good and consistent job.
HyperTalk existed before unicode, however it's conceivable that a modern implementation would return... the number of actual characters in a string.

For contrast, JaveScript's .length definitely does not count the number of characters, it returns the count of UTF-16 units, which for Emojis yields an incorrect result.

My point being that the conveniences we all enjoy with `.length` come with subtle gotchas that we overcome as devs but are perhaps not necessarily as user-friendly as a more long-winded approach.
For me IOS consistently suggests phrases I've used with my wife in the context of my colleagues despite me really never having addressed them "Hi honey" or "Hi darling" ... etc.

It's just pathetic nonsense to congratulate anyone on this level of nonsense.
'The Second Textbook' is a nice perspective which resonates with me. In my experience I've found the need for as many textbooks as I can get my paws on - each book usually handles one or other topic better than others, or gives me that extra angle that helps my understanding.
That's funny ... brings back memories of the 90s :)

One thing I've noticed is that in modern IT infrastructure, there is usually two levels of sandboxing going on. At the low level you have VMs (sandboxed OS), and on top of it you have containers (sandboxed applications). Sysbox makes it easy replace that lower level with containers (which naturally leads to docker-in-docker or more accurately containers-in-containers).

To be clear I am not saying that containers are equivalent to VMs or that containers should always replace VMs. They are different beasts with different properties. But I am saying that in many scenarios it does make sense to use containers instead of VMs, particularly if your stack is all Linux, you don't need the isolation strength provided by VMs, and want the higher efficiency of the container.

We definitely rely on technological advances a lot. It might mask our social development status.

To go further, I would say, that there is a mismatch between how much we advance technologically / scientifically and how much we advance with regard to how we live together in a society.
There are so many things going wrong, which one might think have no place in these times, but reveal the savage greed of humanity. Surely in the past there was probably even more stuff going wrong, but today those things are catalyzed by globalization and technological means. Our greed in the small can affect the whole planet. Basically, I am not sure we are ready, in terms of social advancement, to responsibly handle the technology. By that I am not talking about this person or that person specifically, but about us as societies, democracies, and other forms.
This is also one of the reasons I am very liberal when it comes to illegal substances.

Lots of people will get them anyway, it is just more expensive and risky.

Same goes for euthanasia (while we have liberal abortion laws in France, for style reasons we still need to drive or fly to Belgium, Netherlands or Switzerland for euthanasia)
The short answer is that you are underestimating the scale.
Invenia operates over most of grids in the continental US.
Think less "helping one powerplant how much to generate, and thus saving them money on wasted fuel if not needed."
And more "helping thousands...", we're more linked to the system operators than the individual plants.
And the systems move huge amount of power each day, so small percentage efficiencies is still a big number dollar wise

So how do you explain the re-entering the market by Google?

The "rules" were sovereign rules China applied and it's not as if other search engines or companies in China could get away without following those same rules... plus, such rules are now being applied to ByteDance and WeChat in the USA to make them "voluntarily" pull out as well and this of courses legitimizes China's past and present actions (which is fundamentally why I do not think we should be going down this route).

It's basically admitting defeat if we start using the same policies as China. China owns up to their policies of censorship and heavy-handed market control. They're not hiding that fact. If we start down that path too then we're just adopting their system and admitting we can't beat them with a free market and freedom of access to apps/information.

Keep in mind that Trump's rationale for blocking WeChat is that it is "allowing the Chinese Communist Party a mechanism for keeping tabs on Chinese citizens who may be enjoying the benefits of a free society for the first time in their lives." That's basically saying the people are too stupid and must have their information access controlled—which, as you may know, is exactly the communist part of China's modus operandi.
I don't know about other areas, but in Europe there is such a standard (called FinTS) and there are libraries for every language. I actually once wrote a python tool that did something similar to this app.
> If you are able (somehow) to encapsulate this state, and save and load it faster than you can regenerate it, that’s a win. You can call it caching or memoisation or “incremental compilation” if you really enjoy that sort of thing, but this is such a basic concept that if you cannot understand it, you are going to have a lot of other problems.

If you're going to be condescending like that, it would be nice if you could provide a concrete example of how to incrementally compile vector<T> in the general case in such a way that it's useful and reasonable to redistribute (that is, not tied to a specific architecture or compiler) instead of just waving your hands.
It sounds like you are just advocating the corporate tech transfer model of advanced research in a nascent field, but maybe Apple is philosophically opposed to doing that. Indeed, it's not that they don't have funds for scientific research. It's easy to say Siri is inferior or whatever but that contains such hidden assumptions about what really is valuable for consumer tech.
The weird part is in my experience their "swift" input works miles better than the regular tapping. It's truly odd. Tapping I have to correct the phone all the time, while using swift (with the same keyboard!) I quite rarely do.
I thought a big problem with these side-channel leaks was that other tenants on the same cloud instance could view your data.

The way I see it, psychedelics can be tools you can use to see things you don't normally see, but you still need to be sober afterwards to "clean up" the ideas to allow people who aren't tripping to understand what you mean. A conversation between someone on LSD with someone who is not, will often look like the one on LSD is talking non-sense. If they are both on LSD, they can usually understand each other. If the person on LSD would have gotten sober time before talking to the sober person, they could make the language and ideas more suitable for understanding.

So while Hypercard was initially "invented" under the influence, if they would have kept being on LSD while developing at as, it would have been a mess.
Yes that statement is very strange to me.
Intuitively, to me, it’s because it’s sorted “new to old” so the first events are fresher in memory and can be recalled vividly, making the most recent older event likely to be recalled vividly by association, etc. As opposed to starting with the oldest event which is dimmer in memory along with its associations.

I think liars are easier to catch when they recite events in reverse because they visualized their lies in chronological order, like when memorizing a poem. They could become immune to the reverse trick if they practiced their lies in reverse.
30 years ago timing attacks were unknown (at least publicly). The core idea of exfiltrating some secret based purely on specific input data to a program that was memory-safe and perfectly validating its inputs would have been a surprise on its own. Doing so entirely outside the process's direct view doubly so.
Not in the Netherlands. I always negotiated monthly gross. Then your 13th month and summer bonus suddenly actually feel like bonuses, even if the company includes it in the full yearly amount.

Shower thought: we've been (some countries more some less, some earlier some later) in a collective physical lockdown which was challenging to deal with but most people coped with it just fine. Surely, technology helped we had our entertainment and we managed to maintain some social bonds with friends and family via video.

What if we engineer an "information lockdown"? Three months of no internet, no TV, only word of mouth communication of official billboards at the local level.

Would we cope with that just fine? Would it help us learn somethings about us and learn to appreciate things, as the physical lock down has done for some things (like cooking, time with family, etc)

I think a famous newspaper article at the time said something like: "Ford decided your life was worth $500". And it was after a cost benefit analysis.

Covid has a fatality rate of, at best, 0.3%. At worst, higher than 3%.

Nobody sane is going to sit still and let, say, 1% out of 8 billion people (80 million people!) die.

We can work on other issues in parallel, but prioritizing emergencies.
Using verbose English grammar to describe software, might be easy to learn and look nice, but it's a severely restricted by it's intended use-cases.

It's a similar problem to visual programming and AI based programming (GPT-3), where you're fundamentally describing a very implicit program. In some use-cases this is fine, but in many situations it can be difficult, unpredictable or even impossible to describe the program using implicit language.
And it has been demonstrably shown that languages that have a pseudo English syntax do nothing to open programming to the masses; case in point being Cobol, there is a proverbial tonne of it being maintained only by software engineers.
...Psychosomatic cognitive dissonance?

I don't own or use Apple products so this takes more explaining for me.

> I believe that is the figure for prisoners

The text says very clearly: "32.6% of people convicted, 36.7% of prisoners in jails".

The graph is about prisoners, with a break down by area. In my area, foreigners are almost 60% of the jails population!
IIRC the Flynn effect has been in reverse since the mid 90's. Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

"Research suggests that there is an ongoing reversed Flynn effect, i.e. a decline in IQ scores, in Norway, Denmark, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, France and German-speaking countries, a development which appears to have started in the 1990s".

In my country, Australia, we saw zero improvement on the Colored Porgressive Matrices from 1975-2003, and a decline since then.

"pseudo English syntax do nothing to open programming to the masses"

But they did with hypercard, right? I remember my sister showing me a hypercard presentation she did while she was in primary school.
The HyperTalk language is well-documented. It has a clearly-defined syntax like any other programming language. It just happens to look more natural than most, but it's not an unpredictable guessing game like Wolfram Alpha.

This is a bit before my time but doesn't sound right to me - my ISP in 1994 certainly didn't give everyone the root password with our shell accounts, nor did my high school in 1996. Security holes were gaping by today's standards, but attackers were equally unsophisticated. Most setuid programs still required wheel access.
Is it actually 2020?

Yes, but if it's not even possible to get auto-rotate to function correctly most of the time (to the point it becomes funny, countless are the times I've seen people yell at their device because either it doesn't rotate when wanted or rotates when not wanted), how do you expect something way more complicated to function appropriately? Only partially kidding here; this isn't criticism of the fact autocorrect doesn't work as good as it should, it's just that it's really hard to solve, but the point of failure imo is that there are other ways not involving AI or ML which might, as long as the former doesn't work better, actually be better suited and lead to results faster. E.g. something as simple as just adding anything ever typed to the dictionary and sort by number of usages - eventually getting rid of items with only one usage ever assuming they were typos or so. Which is roughly how phones used to do it pre-full-keyboard-era, I assume, and at least for me that actually worked pretty well and definitely with less mistakes. Maybe not as fast though. But I'm personally not interested in trading correctness for speed.
Story time.

I recall one afternoon I took mushrooms, when I was perhaps 15 years old. Not a huge quantity, but enough for a mild, pleasant experience.

That same evening I realised that I had to write an essay for school - it wasn't like me, but I'd completely forgotten about it, and now had a single evening to write a whole essay... bah, how could I possibly do that?!

I sat down, and... it just flowed. Words, sentences, paragraphs, ideas, characters, just sprang to life on the page - and it was good, really good! My mind felt amazing - like my consciousness had been expanded. I'd never felt such pure imagination and joy of knowledge before.

By the end of the evening I had unquestionably the best essay I'd ever written, and about twice the target length.

A week or so later when I got the results, it was a B, and I was kind of shocked. But the teacher called me back after class - he told me what I submitted was way better than A+ work, more what would be expected at university level. He also asked who wrote it, because "it obviously wasn't you" - he didn't believe my insistence that I'd written it. He couldn't prove anything, so gave it a B and strongly warned me not to "pull a stunt like this ever again".

Of course, people can have great ideas and do great work without hallucinogenic drugs - that should really go without saying. But the results with such drugs can be utterly incredible - Also keep in mind the effect is not only while using the drug, but afterwards too.
True, but those other mediums would not work quite as well, so we would likely be better off.
I am aware of a few people in my social-circle who put "Software artisan" or "Purveyor of artisanal technology experiences" (etc) on their LinkedIn profile - so I believe you.
You can, but few do. The Stop sign makes sure you've come to a halt and are focused on what happens next instead of "just cruising".

Interruptions reset focus (unless you're so distracted that you don't notice the sign).
Is that really a thing? I live in Australia and I'm really careful about who I have sex with mainly due to not wanting to catch HSV-2. I'm an early 30's man and I turn down more potential sexual partners than not. Condom use prevents most STD's + unwanted pregnancy with a high degree of success but not HSV.
Correct; Sysbox always enables the user-namespace in containers and manages the subuid/subgid allocation. In the open-source version, it assigns all containers the same subuid/subgid range, which is not ideal for cross-container isolation. In the enterprise-version (Sysbox-EE), it assigns an exclusive subuid/subgid range to each container automatically.

That’s not true. Jailbreaks exist, and always will. That’s the current status quo. Opening up sideloading will surface more bugs. Apple already has best-in-class built-in 2fa for Apple ID. To say they can’t just leverage Secure Enclave to do the heavy lifting is just to fail to make Apple’s argument for them. Security would benefit, because Apple would have more devs seeing and reporting more bugs if sideloading were possible. It’s a simple truism. Look at the new Microsoft.
