Quite an epic effort, but (I'm guessing, due to the age of it) none of the type system stuff is checkable via mypy etc

it seems like instead there's a bunch of runtime type-checking going on (or at least... "at import time", i.e. runtime but as early as possible)
Why Bitcoin will be bigger than you think
PS5 uses a custom 12 lane flash controller, not an m.2 drive. I think they optimized for things other than peak bandwidth, too, like latency from disk to VRAM and random read. (And hardware lossy compression!)
You get what you pay for from Openreach - or more precisely the service provider pays little, and tells you it's Openreach while you pay lots.

Sky and BT retail definitely pay for the top options of services.
This is often claimed, but more often than not, data provided by export features, and not just Google's, are in a format which makes it useless to non-programmers.

At-will employment probably doesn't help the issue. With proper labour protections, the low-caste guy can tell the Brahmin to go fuck himself, but good luck without unions and on H1-B.
When I last had a 'man inside', the Vancouver office was only for a specific (set of?) teams. That may have changed in the last couple of years.
I've only read one of those books: Guns, Germs and Steel, and I learned and retained a _lot_ from it. Now, whether what I learned and retained was accurate and worth retaining is a subject of great dispute - there are a lot of people who really hate this book because they disagree with it, but that's not the author of this post's point. He's saying that books are a bad way of conveying knowledge, not that books contain bad knowledge. Maybe he's just not a great reader?
China has money. Let's never underestimate the greed of people when it comes to treason.
A cyberpunk Kowloon walled city in the ring sounds cool. But consider that Cupertino has fought tooth and nail to prevent an abandoned shopping mall from being converted into legit housing. Seems unlikely that they would go for it.
Might be a UX mistake to show the states as blue.. that's what I thought first-- but look at the tallies below:

Party Count Percent
Democrats 84,833 55.1
Republicans 24,210 15.7

So the earliest mail in voters are heavily skewed Democratic. Numbers like that make me want to say that Republicans are afraid of voting by mail this election, but it's way to early to say.. maybe it's just Democratic fear of the USPS slowing up ballots.
Agreed. Was it not The Selfish Gene that coined "meme"? Or was that word used before by Dawkins in research papers or similar?
No it's not. Never was, never will be.
This racist attempt to redefine what the term means will not stand as long as there are enough freedom-minded people around.
Indeed, which is why the potential threat of Epic trying to end support for Microsoft for Unreal would be a very credible threat that I think Microsoft would have to deal with. Xbox Game Studios has a lot of projects invested in Unreal today.
I think the age of the forum has simply evolved into two extremes. As I see it, forums as basically just a public-facing venue for having threaded discussions.

In that broader sense, we have macro forums on the scale of Reddit, and even Twitter, thought its content format/ui drifts much further way from traditional forums than something like Reddit.

Then on the micro scale we have forums like individual users' Facebook and Facebook communities.

So as with most things internet over the last 15 years, its evolved from having many many small scale offerings, to a very few massive corporations that ate everything else.
There are two aspects to software updates on Android devices:

* Major version upgrades ("cookie upgrades") and

Fairphone 2 still receives security updates for Android 7 and Android 9 for Fairphone 2 is in beta.
>Remote work is not a catchall. I live in a 400 sq/ft apartment.

But if you work remote, can't you get a bigger apartment (or even a house) out in the suburbs (or other CoL area)?
I don't fix phones but I've heard that Apple is taking increasing measures to stop independent repair shops. Knowing what part to replace and how to do it doesn't help you if the manufacturer won't sell the part to anyone but Apple.
Interacting with neighbors is one part, but it's also things like noise, and the businesses in the area (catering to tourists vs locals).
I use a smartwatch (TicWatch Pro 2020) for tracking my heartrate along with the regular scale for checking my weight.
Some many years ago, I was the source of interference.

Newly hired by a federal employer who considered morse code an asset, I practiced in my hotel room. Bored, I decided to go live with a small tune-able antenna inside my hotel room, ground to a sink pipe. Yes, I was an idiot, and still am, but older and wiser.

Anyway, every time I keyed, every television in the hotel went green in sync with my keying. Green-green-green. Green green.

The cleaning lady ratted me out and I got a deserved earful from the hotel.
Most short term rentals in apartment complexes are actually against the rental contract of the building. Thus you probably have a very strong hand when you deal with a noisy host. I would still be nice to stay friends with a neighbor, but if vacuuming bothers you and you ask the host to limit vacuuming to certain hours of the day he will likely jump to do your bidding. My 2c.
Eye roll at their advice:

"We'd just advise the public to make sure that their electric appliances are properly certified and meet current British standards," she said.

"And if you have a fault, report it to your service provider in the first instance so that we can investigate."

It made me imagine the person going to buy an old tube tv on the black market and just laughing maniacally as it "faulted", whatever that means.
Oh boy it's the latest scare!

Four cases. Four.

> with confirmed cases in the U.S. topping 4 million — could translate into thousands of patients with neurological complications associated with COVID-19

So it's the old "we just don't know" argument.

The core of your article is "we saw this < 10 times but we all need to be scared of it because we just don't know.
I am on the West Coast and regularly do calls with India since we added teams there. 12.5 hours difference is absolutely awful and has me wanting to quit my job or at least move to a team that isn't so far apart. The number of times I've had to wake up early or cancel dinner plans is super disruptive and has crushed my work life balance since there is no clear time when the workday starts an ends.
Maybe it's a whiteboard problem, but I would just call it a puzzle. Puzzle solving requires creativity.

Picking up new technologies doesn't require creativity. Being a good developer (these days) also doesn't require much creativity, especially if you're just implementing spec and not designing systems.

The best way to get better at puzzles is to practice puzzles! The reason I don't want to call these problems whiteboard problems is because it implies that they're only used in that context. These types of puzzles can be done for fun, too! Perhaps you start with simpler puzzles and try some simple solutions. You might solve a few. You'll try some harder puzzles and you'll get frustrated because the solution doesn't come immediately. Sometimes you'll combine two solutions you've used previously to solve something more complex. It's an amazing feeling!

If you want a book of math puzzles, I recommend "Measurement" by Paul Lockhart. He explains and helps you explore math in the way he thinks it should be taught in schools, and I agree with him.

If you want something more programming focused, take a look at "Programming Pearls" by Jon Bentley. It's a very old book, so the constraints he has to work with are quaint by today's standards (do something without using more than a megabyte of RAM. Hah!), but they're good puzzles as far as I remember.

Good luck!

Edit to add: The most useful thing you'll get from spending time with puzzles from a certain field is the intuition about which tools to reach for and which to forget about. You'll still likely have to try for a bunch of tools before you find the ones that work the best (or at all), but you'll get better at choosing ones that are more likely to work sooner, so you'll be able to progress faster on harder puzzles. As Greg LeMond said about cycling: ‘[It] never gets any easier, you just go faster’ :)
Persona stands out here as a huge opportunity lost. It offered a future with a fully decentralized, federated authentication scheme, based on open protocols.

Yes, they made some mistakes and adoption was poor. But it worked well and the underlying protocols are something the internet still desperately needs.

Hotels have staff that supervise guests. They often have their own security, and have a lot of regulations on what they can and can't do.

Airbnb units often don't have anyone supervising their visitors.
Man, I love this plugin. Every time I open a link from HN, CTRL-Click (configured this way) and into a new container it goes. Combine it with Chameleon, and you can really confuse some sites.
The real problem here is that, 20+ years on, printing to PDF is still a totally natural and easy-to-understand metaphor for a normal office desktop user; but producing HTML for the browser is still impossible for them.

If we simply had print-to-HTML functionality which resulted in a document identical to what you view onscreen while editing, PDF could die the death it deserves.

But HTML+CSS somehow manages to suck just as much for common usage, so it persists.
At least it's probably better than MS-Word's internal format ... (?)
I should have added more detail here.

With Scratch you can create animations/video games and get instant feedback. It runs right out of the browser, so there are no setup issues to trip over.

There are a good set of extensions to do text to voice, music, etc.

There are hardware interfaces like makeymakey and microbit.

I was able to re-created my senior robotics project in 2 hours using the cutebot that is driven by the microbit.
And here I was thinking we were living in the future when I could print out a pdf, fill out the fields with a pencil, take a picture of it, then email it to myself, change the file type back to pdf, and send it to whomever requested it...
Yeah, but does Firefox need to solve the use-case of a court system? Also, tangentially the solution to guarantee "tamperproof" archiving is in cryptography and that's not a feature of PDF.
The price is steep relative to other phones, but nothing else competes in terms of repairability (fairphones are the only phones to have got 10/10 from iFixit) or the supply chain equity. So it's not trivial to compare its price to that of others.

I went for a Fairphone 3 because I could afford it, because I support its values, and because its spec is more than enough for me. Six months in and I've no doubts about whether it was the right decision. I'd very much recommend it.

Why is macosx system is better? Compose keys are mnemonic: e + . = ė ‒ you don't need to remember any abitrary codes and there are no popups or any implicit accidents.

I've tried many different schemes etc and compose key is still my favorite system and having unified system for linux and macos is big bonus for cross platform users. At the end of the day it's just another option! :)
The only tarnishing I experienced was on the contact pads.

I'd buy a Fairphone again if they'd fixed those issues.

I'm very surprised to see it often mentioned that NVMe M.2 vs SATA ain't noticeable. Because when I switched from a SATA to a Samsung 950 Pro (5 years ago) and latter on to a 970, it was a gigantic speed boost. The difference was, to me, very noticeable. Now I'm a software dev and do compilation and sometimes "work with files" but it's neither a server nor a simulation rig. Just a "normal software dev" setup.

Now I do stuff like doing grep (well, ripgrep really) on an entire home dir, compute often hashes of files and things which may not be considered "regular use cases" but which I think are still "regular" or at least semi-regular when doing software development.

To me PCIe 3.0 x4 (or now 4.0 x4 I guess) NVMe M.2 vs SATA is day and night.

VSCode is 100% free. IntelliJ has a free and enterprise license. I could download the free one, but I feel like I'm missing out on features and would rather go with the option that has everything free. Then I don't have to worry about it. Even though it may not be as good.

I own in a building that used to be rampant with AirBnb rentals. Once we had enough owners to vote on new bylaws we reduced short term rentals dramatically. From do as you want, to 30 days, and now 6 months. I used to not mind Airbnb and was a long time proponent. But the edge cases aren't even edge cases anymore.

Just within the last few days one of the more popular buildings in our neighborhood had a shooting. The owners and tenants are absolutely pissed. Because at $3000+/month this is not how they wanted to live. That building management company was fired and a new one brought in. With armed security now.

The straw for me was the variability of the owners. If I get a substandard hotel room I call the desk and get moved to another suite. If I have a substandard Airbnb I only get a refund. I'm still left scrambling to find new, last minute accommodations.
The carbon cost of mining is a big weak point especially since its a constantly escalating carbon cost. People talk about bitcoin as if its carbon neutral when its quite the opposite.
On the other hand, this allows for some incredible polyglot files, like some of the tricks with PoC||GtfO issues where the file is a readable PDF but also a game cartridge and also a zip file with the proof-of-concept code in the issue. And the front cover has the MD5 hash of the whole file printed on it... but that's another trick entirely!
That's going to be the common case; without knowing the end-target application, most data formats we would pick at random are useless to non-programmers.

Even JSON is too complex for non-programmers.
You are just naturalising Power at that point. Power is not some natural force although it tries to acquire its regularity and omniprésence. And although it tries to protect itself from human variability, it relies on human actions.

Naturalising is the oldest known way of justifying an order of things.

I am ready to believe this is not your intention but that does not mean that's not what you are doing.

Still it leaves me with a question : What is your intention beyond stating that "After sun comes rain" or "Boys will be boys"? How do you contribute to the discussion from the outer space point of view from where all seem to look as the result of unavoidable forces?

If they say they need X users to not cancel something, that does nothing for me, even if I trust them. I will not sign up until it already hits that point, because before then, it's practically guaranteed to be canceled. And I bet at least X users would share my opinion.

Why would that network need to provide internet connectivity? Have the Wi-Fi gateway perform the authentication and provide an interface, or use a vlan connected to a server that handles that.

> Those features are not found in 'normal' wifi routers

Then deplore the state of current consumer wi-fi routers and protocols. We can do better than this.

More to the point, Wi-Fi wasn't really designed for this, so maybe a new kind of extension is warranted (like NAN, P2P, mesh, etc). Or use another protocol: Zigbee, Lora, z-wave, etc. These generally have the guarantees you want, sometimes do mesh networking, etc.

In the past, I've used a raspberrypi3 as a "IoT hub", using its wi-fi network to connect "smart" devices. The third-party server was my hub. Everything works without internet. The dedicated wi-fi network doesn't have internet. You can even lower the bandwidth to 20 MHz, and 1Mbps to achieve greater ranges on that channel.
Asana is project management, kanban on steroids.
"Software engineering is primarily an exercise in managing complexity."

That is so true. Unfortunately many engineers do not manage complexity but simply increase it until it becomes unmanageable. Then they do a big rewrite and (if the project survived this, often it fails at that point) the cycle starts again.
There is really only one guideline to eviction procedures after you have won the court case - at least in my state. You must wait for someone from the sheriff’s office.

The sheriff is responsible for removing the person. You and your crew that you have hired is responsible for removing items and changing the locks. You aren’t responsible for any damage to personal items or what happens when you put them on the side of the road - where you are legally required to put the items at least for a single tenant house.
I've been working in the industry for 20 years. I've literally never gotten a job based on someone I knew. I'm sure there's plenty of others who have a different experience, but don't let this get you down.
I think you missed the point of distributing. I’m never going to let you email me your serviceworkers because I can’t forward this document to anyone without relying on you hosting a server / not changing the content.
I have a feeling this thread has a strong bias from highly automated valley life. In more provincial regions and even just much of Europe lots of forms have to be filled out and printed.

It is not something you have to everyday or something, but the existing solutions suck massively. You either have to use Adobe, which requires Windows (or Mac, I suppose) and your firstborn or use some massively shady online service. So personally, I love this feature!

(And I also do not think that this will halt all other development at Mozilla like some comments here imply)
Sure, there's a technical issue of is a caste the same as a race.

But for all intents and purposes, the situation is the same. The employee had bad outcomes alledgedly because people with power (his managers) were prejudiced against him because of who his parents were.
Sure, but you still need an explanation for what would have to be reversion to ancestral forms of an italic script.

There would have been a lot of refugees from the Punic disasters, and staying a long way from Roman centers would favor survival.

Being the only literate group in a wide area would explain the surrounding majority's adoption of a non-standard script, otherwise a mystery. Use of the script could be confined to ephemera indefinitely long before a change that led to its use to inscribe durable material, so a gap, while inconvenient for historians, is hardly disposative.
Phillip Wadler coined the term (while recognizing that the concern was preexisting), and co-invented typeclasses specifically as an attempt to address it. So you're definitely right to think they're related.

I see a lot of comments about people who are worried that Google might shutdown the service entirely and I agree with your concerns. The last months we have seen a lot of giants building their own database spreadsheet like hybrid, Google Tables, Microsoft Lists and Amazon Honeycode. Tools like these contain your most important data and you want to have freedom, security and independence as they can be an important part of your business.

Because of these reasons I started Baserow (https://baserow.io), which is an open source (https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow) alternative to Airtable and the listed tools above. It is still in an early phase, but every week new features are implemented.

Some unique points:

- Unlimited rows.

- Open source, released under the MIT license.

- Uses popular frameworks like Django and Nuxt.js

- Uses PostgreSQL as database backend.

- It can be self hosted.

- You can have many rows per table, 100k+.

- Headless and API first.

- Supports plugins.
