Talking, Typing, Thinking: Software Is Not a Desk Job
Was fun watching people attempt to defend this obvious flop. Bad enough idea, but boy did the timing work against them too.
They probably left it sitting in checking. I'm surprised their bank isn't calling them to upgrade their account.

I've not heard of it, presumably because it didn't go anywhere 15 years ago. Is there any more background?

I wish we'd stop being so hard on products. It's likely those developers read these comments. Having babies be called ugly by your peers is rough, actively trying to be more respectful on the internet leads to a nicer industry.

EDIT: Just to clarify - I'm not saying your intention was disrespectful. I've written many comments similar to this, and continue to do so, but I've started to try and curb it because I imagine it's what YouTubers feel like reading their comments section.. But this is by our own peers in our industry.
> various other things to fingerprint the request

Isn't this exactly how it prevents FB from tracking you? Those "various other things" that it uses will all be different between different containers. I think the source IP thing is a valid point, which is why other commenters have pointed out that you can force your FB container to connect through a proxy, while your other containers don't.
Comma or dot separators caught me out once.

In the Anglo-Saxon world, we write 3,000.00.

In many continental European countries and countries like Brazil, the same number is written 3.000,00.

I once generated a CSV in my program which could not be read correctly in Excel in Brazil. I later figured out that I had to use another delimiter than a comma, because the comma was the decimal separator.
Agreed. In terms of base assumptions, running AGI on computers also puts us at a disadvantage due to multiple layers of abstraction. That is to say, AGI is what organic brains are as opposed to what we're asking computers to do. It's like a complexity difference between building a machine to throw a ball and building one to accurately simulate the physics of throwing a soft rubber ball through turbulent air onto grass. A dragonfly uses just sixteen neurons to take visual input from thousands of ommatidia and use it to track prey in 3D space. How many transistors would we have to use to accomplish the same task? Now scale that up to 86 billion neurons in a human brain. That's the scale of the problem we're looking at after we figure out how to program it.
TBH considering their mountainous terrain, already the lower speeds they achieve are quite a feat of engineering. Meanwhile a small storm upends most of Germany's rail network for a long time because they let trees grow close to the rails...

I tried it but the issue is that is not Minecraft, the kids will want to play the game their cousins and friends play and the game the youtubers play. But a few years back when I checked Minetest it had some nice features and cool mods so if you don't care about the Minecraft community end ecosystem then you might enjoy it.
Much of Manhattan is a grid so just a little bit of knowledge about what the non-numeric avenues are, the streets that bound Central Park, etc. are pretty much all the knowledge you need between about the Village and Harlem.
The project is end-of-life now so most of this is moot but to answer these queries:

1) SQL calls in a separate command-line application.

2) Git. It’s in a .NET Database project.

3) See 2.

4) Not overly to be honest - the organisation uses SQL procs pretty extensively as is, so this isn’t anything particularly new or out of the ordinary other than the validations are held in a different part of the stack.

Using a password manager is a good idea.

Using a password manager as a service is my point of contention.
I can agree that a 'password manager' as a service is less secure than a 'local password database that's not a service', but that's not the comparison the OP made.

They compared passwords as a service to reusing a single password and said it was the same, which IMO is foolish.
I always enjoy reading your analyses of Bitcoin news. If Paypal is to crypto gambling what Robinhood is to stock gambling, then we could be in for a wild ride.
They use CNAME aliasing to make the requests seem like they're coming from your own domain, so you'd have block a specific URL on a site-by-site basis, and there are also fully server-side APIs so you don't even know when data is being captured or shared.
5 billion of the cash was from a recent capital raise. Those numbers give you a roughly .2% annualized interest rate, which doesn't seem unreasonable for the current environment.
You'd probably need some kind of median filtering or voting as well as averaging.

I don't want to be that guy but I originally thought the CSS was broken. Harsh black on harsh white, everything squeezed in to the left third of my screen, and an unused scrollbar on the bottom.

That being said, I love the information. I don't care for the workflow that comes with the most popular parser generators and I inevitably want more control over my parser as I start adding error handling, etc. It's easier to just write it by hand in the first place
I keep describing the soprano sax as a "loud bluesey oboe". It's my second favourite sax to play.
Stackless still uses the GIL; But it avoids using the C stack most of the time, which opens the door to green threads (of which you can have a lot more than OS threads), suspending processes (dump/undump style, except portably), coroutines and more.

There were a couple of GIL-less variations, but they were either incredibly slow, or suffered serious compatibility problems (and often both).
The effect of the nudge is definitely the main story here, but the redesigned summons form (Figure 1) seems like a pretty good example of the importance of communication design. While there's certainly still room for improvement, the new forms seem much easier to understand.
"I do not think there’s a contradiction between reproducibility and innovation. Contrary to common belief, we can improve both at once – by incentivizing failed results, and by funding “Red Teams” that would aim to refute existing dogma or would be entirely outside it."

I don't know - the mechanism that creates the problem with reproducibility is that all teams are "Red Teams". What is published is what is unexpected, what deviates from a common understanding, but nothing confirming what we would expect. Most of what seems new and exciting comes out to be just random accidents - that is natural, but it is a problem only when we put too much weight to them.
This might be able to be a bit faster if you use a virtual QWERTY keyboard displayed with eye tracking acting as a cursor, with select being a consonant, preferably /d/. You can map certain phonemes for other shortcuts, including one for click/right-click/vim-commands.

Articulating words takes too long, even subvocalization is, which has the advantage of only using non-voiced phonemes.
I used DDG as my primary for a full year (2019) after using it on and off for several years, but I went back to Google and Bing this year. DDG has terrible results and about half the time I ended up using Google anyways. Image search is a travesty; current events often produce zero results.

Robinhood Traders: It's About More Than the Shares
I appreciate that a lot, thank you.

And as I said, I am not a fan of having an encounter with the justice system send you down a spiral of Kafka-esque inability to recover. Also, I fully agree that some (few!) jurisdictions turn the policing into a pseudo-revenue source, which is not reasonable and should be regulated against with sensible laws.

But my exactly related point is that at some stage of thinking, you will confront the question of "how hard do we have to keep on trying to make things easier for people to deal with the consequences of their actions?" And, what are we trying to get to as a goal?

We are not going to rid the world of crime. We are not going to be able to hand deliver people to court who forgot their court date. We are not going to be able to alleviate every person of the stresses in life that they encounter. How much should we do?

Of course we shouldn't put artificial barriers in people's way to trip them up. And if something is easy to help them avoid trouble, by all means. It's only in a government's interest not to cause people to spiral into criminality with no way out. It's a cost on society! You would be dumb not to see that.

As a middle class person, it's easy for me to say all this, yes. Admitted. But neither do I reflexively believe that "victim blaming" is a reasonable full excuse against all the trouble a person gets into in life.

Now, whether there is something systemic about our country, people, government, and the widening gulf between rich and poor (or in my words, people capable of getting through daily life successfully) is growing and increasingly causing more than some people can handle -- well, that is a bigger question that I don't know the answer to.
Yubikeys are secure, but the most popular second factor is SMS, followed by authenticators, which are better than SMS in my opinion.

Any decision they make can be classified as "influencing political leanings". If they just serve you content that you agree with, that's influencing your political leaning by reinforcing your beliefs (IMO this is what Youtube already does). If they serve you any other content, unless it's random and therefore useless, then anyone can claim they are influencing political leanings. In fact, any company whose business model includes providing information can be claimed to "influence political leanings" since that's as well-defined as saying "adds information". So a library also falls under this, as does Netflix, and Spotify, etc.
Personally I find the 1Password X browser extension is perfectly fine for my 1Password needs on my Linux desktop. That said the extension probably isn’t as good if you have a lot of server passwords or accounts you have to enter a lot in desktop apps. This isn’t a problem for me because I only use 1Password for web logins anyway, my various network passwords are easier to organize in pass.
This is so vague that I want to downvote this comment as irrelevant.
Personally, I find this overly simplistic and I believe it's misleading. I write, review, and edit professionally as about 1/2 of my current job, and I see tons of awful writing by people who write every week. Believing you just need to write regularly to improve is like believing that if you play tons of gigs on your instrument you'll get better. How many really bad musicians have you seen who have been stuck at basically the same level for many years, but play all the time? So, so many. It's just not true.

To really improve, in addition to writing you need to:

- Read really good writing. A lot. Every good writer I've met is a voracious reader and has been for a long time.

- Read about writing, as in, actually study writing

- Edit and review your writing, and get your writing reviewed and critiqued by people actually qualified to comment on quality writing

If you aren't doing this, a daily habit might get a lot written, but it could stay crappy for your whole life. I would argue that real study and less production writing is actually a better use of your time.

Some of my favourite books to start on serious study:

"A Sense of Style" - Steven Pinker

"The Making of A Story" Alice LaPlante

"Steering the Craft" - Ursula Le Guin

"On Writing Well" - William Zinsser

"Dreyer's English" - Benjamin Dreyer

The problem is that everyone thinks their writing is great. You need to be willing to think it could be better. :-)

Why do volcanoes erupt? Because pressure builds up that is stronger than a weak/thin spot in the crust can take. If we drill a hole then the strength of the crust at the hole is... zero. Doing that in the neighborhood of a supervolcano might not be wise...

I find it amazing how Tesla has been able to sell - for thousands of dollars - something that doesn’t exist. Really, it’s extraordinary - sell a FSD package (before there’s any proof it’s even technically possible in the operating life of the vehicle) and then roll out random features and claim they meet the original commitment.

And, even better, their customers love them for it.

I could never do this - I would see it as an act of breathtaking dishonesty. Guess that’s one reason why I’m not going to found a billion dollar company.
Huh, you are saying that something that is so important you want for free, and that the company building this product for you should forgo money and work simply for free? Wouldn't the opposite make far more sense that something that is so important you should pay 'more' for? They are free options that you are welcome to, but for people who want more they pay for it.

I have to admit, while I loved the schadenfreude of watching Hollywood hubris collide with the terrible launch of Quibi - I am surprised that they are throwing in the towel so quickly. The basic premise of high-quality short-form content actually seems solid. I truly expected them to persist through the initial bad press and eventually run a decent if unremarkable business.

In some ways it reminds me of Vine, Periscope, Musically and the other apps that preceded TikTok. Also reminds me of the quick demise of Mixer.

Maybe it is the case of the right idea but at the wrong time. I can only guess the expenses were too high and they have no option to but to fold.

Yeah it's not all production-ready yet.

But come on... we were arguing 'impossible' a second ago and now we're watered that down to 'not production ready'. We're making progress.

FWIW, here's the relevant dispatch code in Python's ceval.c where you see it uses a very generic dispatching at that level, which eventually, deeper down, gets down to the "oh, it's an integer!"

Python code can be made more high performance if there's some way to tell the implementation the types, either explicitly or by inference or tracing. That's how several of those listed projects get their performance.
This rings so hollow to me. You have tons of people who are all of a sudden working from home and are still doing lunches, or have lots of free time in general in an age where shorter form content is more prevalent.

Yes, that was their target- but were they really only targeting NYC and a handful of other cities commuters? That's a pretty small TAM. Everyone else in a car and not watching content on their phone.

The content was not compelling, and that's the real story. They overpaid to quickly produce a library with star power and the end results were sub par, and could not compete with free alternatives, or depending on how you look at it- could not force their way into the budgets for consumer's paid streaming services.

Anyway. You might think that this is not an important asterisk to place on the Pope's ostensibly progressive behaviour; but that, too, is a decision, and implies a relative valuation of lives that you might not be comfortable with, were it made explicit.

£20 for a flight is so, so foreign as a Canadian. Domestic flights here are easily 10x that on a good day.
