I'm human enough, and I've been a licensed driver long enough, to recognize that rumble strips at the side of a road are not crosswalks. But apparently enough bots thought they were that the system is now trained on that 'fact', and I as a human am forced to misidentify rumble strips as crosswalks to pass as human.

It's bizarre.

Often obnoxious stuff like headers that follow you down the page are implemented in CSS. It also neatly deals with sites using gray on white text, absurdly narrow text columns, etc. It also neuters most cookie notices and similar BS that uses CSS to block visibility of the article until you remove it with ublock origin's element zapper. Instead of zapping things all the time on each new site I visit, I nuke it first and ask questions later.
At this point a big advantage of Nvidia is DLSS an machine learning and a big advantage of AMD is that future console games will be optimised for its CPU+GPU architecture. I'm personally hoping to buy a TSMC card from Nvidia with a bump in memory capacity in the (hopefully near) future.
> people would be forced to fix the remaining issues.

The problem is that they can't be fixed, as I understand. People are asking for things that some see as features and others see as bugs.

The only way to keep everyone happy is for both to continue co-existing, but unless something changes, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.

While I dislike the NSA as much as practically everyone else here, I’m not aware of any state-sponsored killings done by the NSA. Sure, the executive branch has ordered killings, but the branch is so large, lumping it all together makes no sense. The NSA, FCC, FTC, EPA, etc. don’t kill.

Now, you should resist, yes, but most people don’t. It takes a very brave soul to resist and hope the Supreme Court will side with you. Civil disobedience generally also requires vast public support who would rally behind you. Practically everyone knows Rosa Parks, but polls have shown only about 60% of Americans have even heard of Snowden. Public support is a fraction of that.

Cisco’s executives would also end up being involved in some massive lawsuits if they shut down the company to take a stand. Lavabit, OTOH, was multiple orders of magnitude smaller than Cisco is, and they could afford the backlash. It also didn’t help that Lavabit catered to tech people who would understand why they shut down. Cisco, OTOH, is used by virtually every large business; many of the employees of which would not understand why they shut down.
> It seems pretty unlikely that a very specific bundle of proposed legislation is the only way to address climate change. Are all other countries doomed to failure because they don't have the Green New Deal?

GND is not the only way to address it, but it definitely seems like the most politically palatable option right now inside the US. In terms of options that will have an actual impact and are also legislatively achievable, GND seems to be it. It also doesn't really "address" it so much as slow it.

Other countries HAVE already passed legislation and have taken substantive action, so they would not need to pass a GND. Though the ones that haven't passed anything would need to figure out what they can do that is palatable, yes. The US hasn't, and lately has been rolling back rules and regulations such that we're moving in the opposite direction.

C++ gives you enough access control so you can expose things just for testing if you want (make the test a friend, encapsulate the functions into another class). You can do this without breaking encapsulation.

If the functions are capturing a lot of variables, then I would try to reconsider the design. Usually things aren't irreducibly complex.

I don't exactly follow your last paragraph, but tests aren't just something you throw away when they pass. So if I were to write tests for the helper functions, I wouldn't delete those tests on a refactoring pass in order to use nested functions.
This is a false dichotomy. I can’t name any platforms that don’t exercise moderation, except maybe 4chan? I think it’s desirable for places to put rules in place to kick out or mute the asshats.

Yes, it is all culture, regardless of the copyright status. The question is whether our IP law results in "better" or "worse" effects on our culture, whatever those terms mean. I think the current length of copyright harms our culture more than it helps it.

You Won't Advance Through Coding
Both problem could have been solve looooooong ago by introducing a type modifier akin to const that carries if a value is verified (or safe or non-null or other. Pick your synonym).

int * p; // maybe null!
int * verified p; // guaranteed non-null!

A looooong time ago (circa... 1994-1995) I designed a hierarchy of smart pointers and had a variety for non-null so that you could declare a function like:

void foo(non_null_ptr<T>& p);

And know that you don't have to verify for null. All enforced at compile-time. (via the a function on ptr<T> returning a non_null_ptr<T>).

With language support around if() and others, C++ could have mde it even more convenient. Even C could have introduced such a tyupe modifier. Whenever I read about pointers being unsafe and how optionals and maybes are the solution, I roll my eyes, because non-null-ptr do the exact same thing.

The funny thing is C++ has a non-null ptr (with no language support guarantee though): references. Unfortunately, the language made them not resettable, which makes them unusable in many scenario when you'd want them to change value over time, like in most classes members.

You might also want to consider the possibilities that you have problems but haven't noticed them yet or that your experience is not a global truth applicable to all projects.

If you think about the problem more, ask yourself how it's possible to mock a remote HTTP call without the risk of this problem? I've seen people write frameworks which periodically save and cache responses but unless you regularly perform some kind of validation there's no way to avoid that problem.
Maybe. One of my projects at work is supporting a legacy ColdFusion website that is nearly 20 years old (well, it was started 20 years ago, but has seen updates since). We'd love to move it to something faster, but it is huge and it would literally take years to rewrite it. Other things take priority so it will probably never be rewritten. I imagine there are Python projects in a similar boat.
"Copious" does seem dangerous. But beta blockers do seem like a recognized chemical fix to the fight-or-flight response. I've heard: half a tablet of propanolol an hour before a major performance or presentation, and try it out in advance to make sure no adverse effects.

At any rate, it's a prescription drug, so a physician needs to be involved.

> It's disappointing that the committee chose only to solve this problem while not also solving the problem of forgetting to check for null -- often called "the billion-dollar mistake".

it's likely ~30 loc to wrap std::optional in your own type that checks for null. if std::optional checked for null and these `if` branch showed up as taking the couple nanoseconds that make you go past your time budget in your real-time system (especially if people were doing things like if(b) { foo(b); bar(b); baz(*b); }) then you have to reimplement the whole of it instead.

Don't forget that you can still use C++ on 8mhz microcontrollers.
The most compelling thing about TTS (for me), is this heavily scriptable (with Lua) 3d physics-enabled environment. I started playing Twilight Imperium 4 on TTS, and then got sucked in when I realized I could right click on any piece and start attaching script behaviors. I even started playing around with Unity to import custom pieces and animations (made a Death Star Laser animation for TI 4's "War Sun" unit).

It's one of those environments you can quickly drop into a Flow state for – visible results, tight feedback loop, endless possibility for creativity (and time sink!).
Weird, because I keep hearing about the alternative platforms getting kicked offline. Krebs has a story about trying to kill 8chan right now. Gab had its payment processing suspended, etc.

Now, right now, it's hard to blame platforms for wanting to get rid of Nazis. Nobody wants a Nazi on their front lawn.

But in the long term, having capitalist oligarchs with control over most of the public's ability to communicate with each other does not seem like a good plan.

The people who lead the companies won't be there forever and in the future, one of the leaders with all the control over what people can and cannot say may be a Nazi or perhaps someone in power will convert to one.

I'd like to believe that's unthinkable, but not thinking about things like this doesn't seem like a very solid plan. Maybe we should limit how much power and control any one media agency can have over public discourse. And yes, the government's power over that should also be limited.

> It's my experience and if you think you know better than me what the real value of managers is in my world

Your inability to judge of the value of a manager, even a bad manager, doesn't make someone else delusional.

Reductively, if it were really the case that no one cared about the slide decks your managers were presenting, they'd be told to stop and do other things instead. So clearly someone does. That someone obviously isn't you, but that doesn't really matter if someone else gains enough value from that communication.
Just because these logos were made by professionals doesn't make them inherently good. They suck, and all the points made by the article are valid, especially the fact that they're now non differentiable, and the fact this was overlooked by said professionals is shameful.
Just to add to this having had a play with the service, for it to be useful more precise positioning of key components such as connectors/buttons and the mechanical design of the PCB (shape and fixing points) would be needed.

If I am paying nearly 1000$ for a prototype PCB it would be to put into a product prototype with mechanical design considerations. It’s that intermediate prototyping stage, after breadboarding but before full design for manufacturing. A form and fit prototype to test ux and consumer fit.
This is nothing. My machine is on Windows 10 1909 but the May 2020 as well as the Oct 2020 Win 10 updates have both been held back because of Conexant driver incompatibility causing blue screen. MS stated back in June they are working with Synaptics to roll out an updated driver but we're nearly in Nov now and there has been no further announcement. Looks like they can't update the driver or the number of incompatible machines are low enough for them not to bother, essentially saying "upgrade your machine or just stay on 1909 till EOL, not our problem."

Drivers are a huge pain on both Windows as well as Linux. We're at 2020 now and still software development hasn't been able to separate drivers from the operating system, make them OS agnostic and easily updatable without all sorts of breakages.
Deprecating Xorg and providing no replacement standard/protocol for almost everything it does and enables is kind of the whole problem, isn't it?
What Microsoft is doing should be illegal. If you buy a product, you should be able to use it throughout your lifetime or until the product naturally cease to operate. In this case, Microsoft should release an open source tool to cross sign the drivers if they don't want to support it or add an update that disables checking for signatures.
If a company can disable software features in the future, then you are no buying the product but merely renting it.
Imagine if you bought a car and then 5 years later company rep would come in and welded the wheels so that you wouldn't be able to upgrade your tires. That wouldn't fly, so why software companies are allowed to do this?
I am just mind-blown that it is so easy for a single individual sitting halfway across the world to shutdown a real company's online presence (on social media) and cause a loss in profit.

For reference, this is what String.substring(int, int) does[1] in Java:

public String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) {
int length = length();
checkBoundsBeginEnd(beginIndex, endIndex, length);
...

Where checkBoundsBeginEnd[2] does:

static void checkBoundsBeginEnd(int begin, int end, int length) {
if (begin < 0 || begin > end || end > length) {
throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(
"begin " + begin + ", end " + end + ", length " + length);
}
}

(as it should, in my opinion).

And from the other perspective, not all spam filters are good, either.

There is a real problem today with a relatively small number of organisations that host a lot of email accounts being so aggressive with their filtering that it has undermined the basic mechanics and reliability of email as a communications channel.

Stronger obligations on those claiming to provide an email hosting service to actually deliver legitimate mail to their account holders, or to at least provide an effective and standardised recovery mechanism when they make a bad judgement while trying to block junk mail, wouldn't go amiss.

It's sort of funny. During the period when GPUs were useful for cryptocurrency mining, demand pushed the price of NVidia GPU boards up above $1000, about 2x the usual price. This was a previously unknown price point for gamer-level GPU boards. Once mining demand declined, NVidia kept the price of their new high-end products above $1000, and sales continued. Now $1000+ is the new normal.
