I lost a couple of thousand dollars using their services (literally 5x my ad budget) because they "refill" your ad account based on the ceiling you intend to spend - without an email notification or other notification in your main profile. It cycled through my ~$300 ad budget and charged me that amount multiple times before I caught it on my bill. Never received the refund they said they'd send either.

People say that half of all advertising dollars are wasted, you just don't know which half, but this company has perfected it to 5-10x what you mean to spend on advertising is wasted, and you don't know until they've taken it from you and then shown you the fine print.

In short, avoid.
What do you mean by "this article could use some editing"? It should have less ideas, fixing the spelling and grammar mistakes, or something else?

They always go for the mathematical way of explaining stuff (this is not a compliment). Programmer English please, not Alien Math. (And that's me saying as someone who likes Alien math in general. But I just don't see the point in using it when programming).

Ok cool, your programming language now has two worlds, the functional world and the imperative world and they have two different syntaxes and you have to pass your world as an extra parameter and etc etc

And I personally find the syntactic sugar built on top of it confuses more than helps (ok, some of it is just Haskell being Haskell, but it confuses)
Yes. But it is a solution that does not and cannot scale.

Yes, this is nowhere near a solution to global climate change/CO2 level management.

However, it might seem like a portion of the solution, at least one worth exploring (which seems like the point of this), for a small country with abundant free energy to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement. So, essentially, the Paris Agreement has created enough of a market for this technology to be worth further development and fielding, and that seems like a good thing.
There are so many "numbers" reports in the cybersecurity industry without any kind of way for validating the claims that I think all of them have equal value - close to zero.

The only source of truth in this industry is speaking with the "frontline" and figuring out how things really are.
Twist and ‘writhe’ also explain the counterintuitive ‘roadie wrap’ method for coiling long wires - where alternate loops are reversed, introducing twists, but resulting in a wire that can be uncoiled smoothly by pulling one end - or holding one end and throwing the coil.

If the US is any indication it will be worse than that.

Spot on ! Agreed with everything ! Some add ons

- whatever cool code you write, if you can't sell it, it is useless

- every dev should work as support tech for some period. then only you understand what your customer needs and challenges in debugging

- Before adopting any new tech, always always look how difficult it is to debug when shit breaks

- keep things simple, so you can have peaceful sleep

- You will never learn everything, accpet this. Learning is continuous process. Just learn to stay curious, that's all.

- learn more and more CS fundamentals instead of getting certs in over-hyped products

- if you want to learn coding, code. don't watch video tutorials.

To be fair, you may not have much of a choice in the future. We see things that used to just be built in to purchase pricing (say, Apple Carplay) becoming subscription unlocked in brands like BMW. BMW backed down this year (2020) but once the first shot is fired...

Since oncall and other services showed consumers are willing to incur ongoing fees, I think we'll see each part of the car beyond safety features tied to a sub model with no option to just purchase unless mandated by law.

Yes car enthusiasts love to point out that law all the time, but I've never heard of anyone having say, an alternator go bad, have an aftermarket part blamed for it, then taking the dealer to court over it and winning. Maybe if you are an lawyer you can manage to do that and come out ahead.

In real life people just generally eat it.

> For example, we don't really have a president.

This actually nothing to do with being a direct democracy. You still have an executive cabinet selected by (but not responsible to) parliament. It's just that every member of the executive is selected by the parliament, instead of the parliament selecting a leader who picks the rest.

> I get to vote on what I believe is right on every issue, instead of getting tricked by politicians

You can still get tricked by politicians. America has very many citizens-initiated referenda, but it cannot be said to have improved their democratic outcomes.

He went full alt right. This is likely owing to the deletion of podcasts with hate speech. Just FYI.
well, historically in the US, if I modify a car and have an incident, if the modification is found to be the cause the liability falls to me, the person who modified it, not the manufacturer.

One can say that Tesla is further still limiting liability by going to these measures, but if other manufacturers have not chosen to take such measures , even with the same practical liability and ability to do so, then one can surmise that Tesla is acting in a way that is against consumers who feel strongly about personal ownership and right-to-repair/right-to-modify.

If car companies considered liability to be the penultimate measure of success they wouldn't sell 500+ horsepower sports cars. The risk is worth taking for a chance to capture the market sector. Same here -- Tesla might find this a good business decision, but a portion of their market will be inevitably lost on matters of personal principal.

It's up to them whether or not that gamble is worth taking. Given that sports-cars and car modification in general seem to have been on a downward decline, they're probably correct to assume such postures; but i'm not a fan.
> You have a strange idea of "proof". The fact that something happened in Sweden once is hardly proof that it could not happen in the UK.

Except the UK has a very clear no extraordinary rendition policy, and even the idea that UK airports had been used as a refueling stop for rendition flights was a minor scandal in the UK. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6736227.stm Meanwhile Sweden has broken it's own laws to assist the US in black bagging it's own residents.

> By the way, you might want to look at the "aftermath" section of that Wikipedia article.

Can you be more specific? My reading is that Sweden found it's own actions to be illegal, paid out a settlement to those whose genitals were electro shocked in an Egyptian prision, but no Swedes faced any real consequences.

> It's far from clear to me that the US wants to avoid a public trial. It's not as if Assange is particularly popular these days.

And yet even this article you're commenting on goes into the large amount of work going on by the US government to remove observers, including Amnesty International, from the proceedings.
Of course, they could dismiss the extradition request as being unfounded. That's definitely how courts work in the UK and they have all the power to do so. Even the government could block extradition, if they wanted to.
So what did you do? Sit in the lobby waiting for your badge for six months?
I wonder how The Podcast Index will handle fraud. There are other directories that are similar in that they allow anyone to submit without moderation and that leads to spammers re-hosting other podcasts with ad insertion.
They do. Modified cars or those with a salvage title are blacklisted from Superchargers by VIN. It's their right of course, as it's their charging network.

If we were talking about abuses committed by the US, or Europe, or anywhere else, I’d agree with you; but this is China. Human rights aside for a second, basically what makes China China, is the solidarity of mission. When the CCP charts a course, the whole bureaucracy sets in motion to make that happen.

This is all to say, I don’t see a functional difference between Disney giving the CPC Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomy Region Committee money/credit, and giving it to any other agency within China; as one way or another that influence will still end up working to commit crimes against humanity.
After BASIC and LOGO, Turbo Pascal was the first language I became fluent in, during my pre-teens. If I recall correctly, I learned everything from the editor/IDE, help screens, examples, and existing code.

What really accelerated my learning was being given a large codebase (a bulletin-board system) to work on, and seeing how it all fit together to make a running application.

Next was C in my teens, I learned enough to create a little language that controls hardware via serial port, RS232. I remember starting to learn C++ and object-oriented programming.

For some reason, I drifted away from computers after that. Like the author, I found myself in various countries and occupations, always feeling that I had untapped potential and talent, but never able to make the transition.

Fortunately, in my late 30's I rediscovered the joy of programming. The web was the gateway, starting with HTML and CSS. Once I got the hang of it, it was unstoppable - I just kept learning and building more and more every day, because it was so fun. It took a couple years to become a full-time, professional programmer. I picked up server-side languages, released open-source libraries, which led to clients and later co-founding software companies.

A funny thing is, things have come full circle, and now I spend a lot of my time with TypeScript, another creation of Anders Hejlsberg. How the language integrates with the editor (in my case VS Code) to support software development, showing hints, smart autocompletion, navigating type definitions.. It reminds me of Turbo Pascal's IDE in some aspects.

The past year or so, I've had a lot of fun with Raspberry Pi. It's a perfect hobby, and I'm now re-learning C so I can control hardware. I remember being ten years old, reading a manual on 8086 assembly language. So happy to be back where I started, with that sweet childhood joy of tinkering with computers.

Knowing people in both the legal and software world, law is a tough profession with old world business expectations. Almost everything is “last minute” due to either court deadlines or your client dropping everything on you because something happened and it has to be fixed now.

> I think that's the worse tradeoff to be made

That's definitely a fair conclusion. If you're using lowercase identifiers, then I agree wholeheartedly, and you'd be better served by Crockford's (or perhaps some Crockford/Base32H hybrid that aliases L/l to 1 and de-aliases S/s from 5).

What motivated me to make that tradeoff was two-fold:

1) For my use-cases, identifiers were/are always uppercase by default (and indeed, the Base32H specification requires encoders to emit uppercase-only), which eliminates ambiguity between L and I/1

2) Smudges and grime and scratches and such can and frequently do make it difficult to distinguish S from 5 or V from U; it was therefore a pragmatic choice to alias those (while preserving Crockford's partial profanity defense as a nice side-effect)
About a month after that. I had a coworker speaking to me in my office. He was quite angry at 2 coworkers and said he was going to kill them. To be clear, this guy hangs out with gangs and has rifles. He was serious in his rant.

I reported this to my boss. The next day I was fired.

It doesn't have to scale to be the single solution to CO2 level management on the planet. It only needs to scale to countries party to the Paris Agreement as a portion of their emissions control portfolio, and is obviously attractive to such countries with abundant renewable power sources.
What is Progress’s track record with open source? Recently a lot of people have had to switch to Cinc if they wanted to continue using Chef without paying an enterprise license.

AK's are hands down one of the easiest guns to builds. You can build the receiver with fairly simple shop tools, basically a vice, something square like a piece of square tube and a drill. I have built several guns in my time, but I have always been in awe at how simple and functional the AK is. Someone once told me, cleverness is when a person takes something complicated and makes it as simple as possible. The AK is an absolute embodiment of that concept.

That depends on why you argue. If I win an argument with an anti vaccine person they (or an onlooker) start vaccinating and that action protects my children that are still to young for vaccines.

Of course the above is a big if. I don't think I've ever done it. But that is my goal.

Most of the time though you are right, I want to find the truth which might or might not be what I think it is.
The MPU (Memory Protection Unit) in the ARM architecture is like an MVP MMU in that it doesn't have the flexibility of an MMU as the MPU has protection domains (ranges of memory and access semantics bits) and doesn't do address translation like an MMU. It is analogous to mprotect()

I haven't used it, but depending on latency and complexity of updating the MPU config, one could dynamically program it to have an arbitrary levels of protection, think hardware range checks at language level array access.

There was a scandal in Sweden too. It’s telling that you Assange conspiracists have been referring to an isolated event in 2007 for over a decade now. There is simply no factual basis for the assertion that it would be easier to snatch Assange from Sweden than from the UK. Especially when you consider what a huge international scandal that would inevitably have caused either government. The idea only makes sense as part of a silly conspiracy theory. If you want sensible people to believe the conspiracy theory, you'll have to do offer more than a largely irrelevant Wikipedia article plus a ton of wild speculation.

The trial is going to be public, as I understand it, so who cares if Amnesty International are there or not? They'll see and hear the same things as anyone else who is there. But anyway, if you are right, this just goes to show that the US can avoid a fully public trial and yet still extradite him, which by your logic gives them even less motive for using extraordinary rendition!
Note that your wiki articles says it’s difficult to protect, not that it isn’t IP. Further, a quote from the article:

“ So since the 1990s, national governments have been granting copyright-like exclusive rights conferring time-limited exclusivity to reproduction of a particular layout.”

Where did you get these schematics? An individual, or even a small company, having these files is not the same as a large company. Also have you tried releasing a thinkpad clone? have we checked all chinese built laptops to ensure the IP isn’t already being used?
