The iOS app has an in-app purchase for pro features for $4.99 at this time, but the app description doesn’t have a single word about the “pro features” or what the free version offers. I have to wonder if this app has been reviewed by anyone at all before submitting to the App Store. It seems like the common case of having things in one’s head and assuming others would know (or in this case, actually taking the trouble of downloading and trying the app to figure this out).
How many of those 48,197 have over 50 lines of code? How many of them have had changes in the last 1 or 3 years?

Same questions apply to Nim too of course, but I believe Rust's focus on newbies and pretty much trivial crates/cargo new pkg addition has led to a lot of cruft in there. Not to mention squatters (even if those are probably not a majority).

Also, I would challenge your classification of ARC being in the same category as Swift, memory-handling wise. Nim's ARC has hard realtime capabilities, would that be possible with pervasive RC?
> It's now known as the Hawthorne effect [1]

The citation doesn't seem to support much of anything:

> Descriptions of the well-known and remarkable effect, which was discovered in the context of research conducted at the Hawthorne Western Electric plant, turned out to be fictional.

> The original research involved workers who made electrical relays at the Hawthorne Works, a Western Electric plant in Cicero, Illinois. Between 1924 and 1927 the famous lighting study was conducted. Workers experienced a series of lighting changes in which productivity was said to increase with almost any change in the lighting. This turned out not to be true.

> Later interpretations such as Landsberger's suggested that the novelty of being research subjects and the increased attention from such could lead to temporary increases in workers' productivity. This interpretation was dubbed "the Hawthorne effect," although the data does not support that view.

> Other researchers have attempted to explain the effects with various interpretations. J. G. Adair warned of gross factual inaccuracy in most secondary publications on the Hawthorne effect and that many studies failed to find it.

“The single most important fact about television is that people watch it, which is why it is called ‘television.’ And what they watch, and like to watch, are moving pictures—millions of them, of short duration and dynamic variety.

On the topic of tones, I'd like to clarify something. It's true that few speak in the CCTV way, but to each Mandarin tone there are several realizations (perhaps altered by context) that people recognize as belonging to the same tone. That is, there are in Mandarin (and in any modern Chinese language), tonemes.

Note that when we survey the multiple dialects in China, we see that they more or less preserve the Middle Chinese 4 tones, even though the tones' realizations have evolved so greatly such that the Middle Chinese tones' actual realizations are but unreconstructible.

First paragraph of the corresponding email announcement:

> Over three years ago, we launched the Trusted Contacts app as a way to help people stay up to date with their loved ones’ whereabouts. Since then, we’ve built this functionality directly into Google Maps with Location Sharing - making it even easier to share your live location with trusted friends and family.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but location sharing doesn't seem to provide the same functionality. It's an always on feature for sharing your location with others, not a "request someone's location" feature and if that person doesn't respond in 15min, enable location sharing for some time.

The obvious question is: what's a good/trustworthy alternative?

I had this idea 8 years ago during a busy winter in Vienna, Austria where I couldn’t see the Sun for two consecutive weeks (buildings are rather high and streets narrow). I just wanted to know where I could spend lunch break in the Sun. Eventually started programming it around 2 years ago.

It’s a web-app based on three.js. Think of Google Earth enhanced by time based solar shadows. While there is global terrain coverage, buildings are currently limited to Vienna but we’re working on global coverage as well.

I am not sure that there is any one path or unique suggestion. But my general advice was to stay curious, learn as much as possible and keep an eye for what could be, rather than just accepting things as they are.
Also I strongly believe in the cross pollination of concepts leading to unique ideas. So having some sort of orthogonal knowledge in addition to medicine is helpful (e.g. business, chemistry, biology, programming, etc).

Last time I heard the Hawthorne effect discussed (on BBC radio 4), two psychologists explained that the lighting changes were enacted on a Monday, and lasted for the week. The increase in productivity detected on the Monday was then attributed to the change in lighting from the previous Friday.

Despite this seeming like a classic case of conflating correlation with causation, and the workers simply being more productive due to being more rested.

The psychologists then concluded that although this wasn’t evidence for the Hawthorne effect, the effect was still real. I turned off the radio.
The umbrella tip seems to have been adopted in Hong Kong.
Thanks, yes, I would agree that a midi recording and a score to a large extent encode different types of information. The score has less of some of the kinds of information that are in fact present in midi. And the midi, of course, doesn't specify anything about ranges of interpretation; it simply represents a specific interpretation of a score.

There are a few ways that one could reason from absence of evidence to evidence of absence, and that has a lot to do with what other kinds of fossils (if any) we've found in the same area in the same period.

One possibility is that cats found themselves in relatively dry areas where their remains would be picked apart by scavengers long before any fossilization could take place. The article mentions that forests turned into savannas at the time.

On a less serious note, perhaps the cat gap occurred when cats temporarily lost their skeletons and became fully liquid, or at least cartilaginous like sharks. Don't we all know how flexible they are? :)

If there is going to be a vulnerability, it's going to be there regardless of the right to repair provisions. The RTR-specific features would only allow data access under very specific conditions and with consent of the user (by for example pushing a physical button, so it can't be triggered remotely).
That video was taken from far distance because the drone had to operate unnoticed in enemy territory; pretty sure that they had much better optics and transmission capabilities even back then, but it had to be very far from action. The distance can be roughly measured, if the bullets speed is known, by counting the time between the shots audio (assuming it's properly synced) and when they're seen hitting the area.

Today police drones could look at your backyard from a few dozen meters, and the same qualified immunity that let them execute people in the streets would prevent you to do anything against them; those drones wouldn't even need to hide themselves.

ps. Upvoted because I noticed you were downvoted, probably by a flesh drone programmed to quench any reference to Wikileaks and the Assange cause, without whom that video would never become public.

Why condescend to an audience which can be safely categorized as both literate and numerate?
Yea, discoverability is a pain. Although importing data from a CSV file has migrated from their obtuse "Text Import Wizard" to PowerQuery in the most recent versions of Excel, so more people will be stumbling on it.

And also yes, the Power Query Editor interface sucks. It's intended to be intuitive for Excel users, which inversely makes it a bit counterintuitive for someone coming from a dev background. The GUI functionality is also pretty limiting and only exposes a fraction of the overall capabilities. That said, there's an "Advanced Editor" button in the Ribbon that'll open up a modal that's far more familiar for a dev; shows you all of the code/Steps for the query all at once and has IntelliSense for code completion. Still crude as far as a dev environment goes, but far more productive than flailing around in the GUI the whole time.

Since you're coming from a dev background, I'd highly encourage that M primer[1] I referenced. It's a crash course on everything that's relevant to a developer (type system, error handling, patterns, antipatterns, custom functions, execution logic, etc). Between that and glancing over the standard library[2], you can avoid using the GUI entirely except for when it's convenient (such as scaffolding out some tedious stuff to then clean up in the Advanced Editor).

> and the performance was painfully slow (compared to an RDBMS).

Also of note is that Excel is only one of the data sources PowerQuery supports. There are a ton of others[3], including many RDBMSs natively supported and generic ODBC support if you have the appropriate driver installed.

maybe I don't get your point (in which case, ignore me), but couldn't you just count the number of deaths by each predator? i.e. count the number of human skeletons with cat teeth stuck in their bones?
Exactly. This is scary stuff that leads to the government controlling behavior as opposed to a baseline of rules to protect individuals.

We have seen throughout history that fascism and other forms of totalitarian governments base their foundation upon this type of strict “no broken windows” style of behavior control.

Another popular technique for these types of regimes is changing the definition of words.

I would strongly encourage you to look into the rise of fascism in the first half of the twentieth century. Recently fascism is more closely associated with nationalist and racist groups. But this was very different a hundred years ago when these ideas were first gaining large acceptance.

The Digital Divide, is a symptom of a few larger issues.

* Wealth and funding divide, caused by lack of a (fully funding) national budget and distribution system.

* An access to the Information Superhighway divide, mostly enabled by failing to classify the underlying structure as a utility, which all (taxpayers) pay to pave out (like roads) and then maybe have services on top of (like power, water, sewer; things that the very poor might have discounted rates on, but still first class access to).

* A resource allocation issue; because having these research tools at home and a way of using them with the collective knowledge of our species (the Internet) wasn't even on the horizon before, and efforts to remotely approach it were hampered by the budget issues mentioned above. Yet even in the very affluent districts I suspect a computer lab at school or in a very nice library is the best current state of affairs.

* As CGP Grey correctly noted (I can't remember if this was in a video, podcast, or just on a forum somewhere): schools are really warehouses for mass babysitting kids during the day and also places of training them to be humans, rather than animals. Surely I'm not the only person that, by the end of highschool, viewed schools as 'day prison for minors, with access to limited training'.

By modularization, I mean being able to configure the sorts of terms you want in your license, perhaps via UI.

Instead of 6 or so fully-fleshed-out licenses for 6 unique purposes, you'd instead have a selection of "terms" or whatever that each add a limitation or a grant to the license.

I'd be able to check something like "limited liability", "free to use", "free to modify" but perhaps leave "used commercially" and "must re-contribute modifications" unchecked.

The generated result would be a license in a similar format to what PolyForm does now (which I really like, by the way) but with the customized terms.

You could then retrofit the existing v1 contracts into the new system as presets.

I find it pretty much useless. It's just a confused case for rule utilitarianism, an age old moral framework, that makes some good arguments for it but fixes none of its problems. Overall, the central claim is unproven.

What I do have a problem with is trying to interface with more complex apis and functions. For example a while back I had to implement a https get and post request and it was a total nightmare. Something that takes only a few lines in python took a few days to figure out.
