> The only issue is finding the right gloves for typing on the computer, I haven't found any good ones yet.

Have you tried fingerless gloves? During long winter backpacking trips or situations where I'll be living without heat for a while, I take some liner gloves and cut the fingers just past the first knuckle. The gloves stay clean even with prolonged use, and you can still use capacitive touch screens and do dexterous work like typing.
Why are there so many people who absolutely deny Russia does any hacking.

It's always some big conspiracy theory that multiple cyber security agencies, all the three letter agencies, and multiple news agencies are in on.

I'd bring up tin foil hats, but nowadays we can make fabric faraday cages so we can all be fashionable no matter what we believe.
On the other hand, maybe I'm so used to Drive that I've adapted to points like that, and trying to get used to Dropbox's web desktop UI (in an effort to de-Google) has been absolutely maddening.

Google Drive is so much more straightforward and I can reliably find parts of that app much easier than Dropbox's current UI.
Gross. Last thing porn needs is to be more fake
What exactly prevents them from doing just that? 3.2 GHz not enough to negotiate screen resolution? HDMI/DP link that M1 produces is some otherworldly HDMI/DP not available to anyone else?

I have an example right here, in front of me. I have a Dell monitor. My Macbook Pro is connected to it via Thunderbolt/USB-C->HDMI. My Windows box is connected to it via DP.

So, I'm on my Windows box, playing a game. I turn on my Macbook Pro, and it shows me a proper resolution on the laptop screen. The laptop sees that the display is on, and I see that many windows are missing because they are on the other screen. So, I switch my display from DP (coming from Windows) to HDMI (coming from my Macbook Pro).

The only thing that changes is the source input to the display.

And yet. Macbook takes up to 10 seconds to renegotiate the resoltion again. First it slowly disconnects from the display, screws up the resolution, brings all the windows to the laptop screen. Then it reconnects to the display, renegotiates the resolution and restores the windows as they are supposed to be.

Why? And what is so magical about the M1 CPU that it seemingly can do this in an instant? There's nothing magical: whoever implements all this crap simply doesn't care. And in a couple of years M1 (or M1 X Pro whatever) will forget how to to that just as MacOS forgot how it could instantly wake up from sleep 12 years ago.

I love the Berlin -> Vienna route that already exists. The private cabins could do with a bit of a facelift, but it really is a nice experience to wake up in a new country without any of the hassle of an airport.
I would argue that the C for loop is a rather awkward construct. It's found its way in many languages, so I think most people are used to its idiosyncrasy but it's not great if you try to take a fresh look at it.

I think the best defense of this syntax is that it makes writing basic iteration a bit nicer without having to add boilerplate (the iconic `for (i = 0; i < n; i++)`) but then I would argue that the real problem is that C is severely lacking in the iteration department and this is a rather obvious hack (that languages like Javascript felt the need to copy wholesale, for some insane reason).
Earnestness aligns well with the powerful idea of "Strong opinions, loosely held".

Being very convinced of ones ideas, but readily willing to change them in the face of new evidence, is a trait of a person who cares a lot but also has no hidden agenda.
I mean Raspberry Pi's are ARM and there are more than a few of these are running Linux(Raspian/Arch/etc/).

Linux will run on pretty much anything given an ounce of driver support. I'm not that overly worried about Linux and ARM.

Microsoft is the one that should be worried!

Might this change with carbon pricing?

A company or individual who strives for excellence absolutely loves criticism as long as its constructive and not a personal attack. Criticism is great as it allows mistakes and issues get resolved. I feel like the statement:

>how dare you criticize our designers. This makes them feel unsafe at work

is absurd. No wonder google lags behind a large majority of tech companies in their design approach and UI. One of the reasons why Apple has skyrocketed past google in market cap(2.01T vs 1.19T) is they put the user first, make beautiful designs that are functional and hold their value well and have excellent customer service. Google has always held customer service and help as "beneath them", its in their DNA and I don't see that ever changing.
well he used bad ram and didn't specify his ssd.
basically compilation is cpu+ssd+memory so if one of these suck you get what he did. a good cpu with garbage components.
not sure why somebody buys an X5xx mainboard and uses 3200mhz memory (which he hopefully ran in dual channel...)

also my macbook pro is slower.
Indeed.

> You need special rolling stock, they only make one journey per day, and can't carry intermediate passengers -- nobody would board at 2 a.m."

This was not the case on almost every overnight train I've taken (not in Europe). With non-private cabins (or worse, standard seats), there's nothing as dreadful as the sound of people boarding or leaving every hour through the entire night.

I've most reliably slept on trains where the journey is usually short, say four hours, yet the night itinerary is stretched to 7 or 8 hours. That's usually a sign the train will stop before the destination and wait until the next morning before pulling in.
You have to look into where that overhead falls:

1) Things that everyone has to do like HR/Legal compliance.

2) Things that you should have opted to avoid like useless status meetings.

3) Things that are productive but have in-direct business value. That's largely a bug in the review process if it doesn't value those.
Mailing lists were a little after my time, by and large. I was subscribed to one for a now dead open source project called PCGen, and the thing mostly seemed to be inscrutable for a new, not-so-confident user.
I took several night trains in my life (Prague-Warsaw, Prague-Tatras, Wien-Venezia, Prague-Frankfurt) and while the experience is interesting, the shaking movement of the train underway plus the freaking loud station loudspeaker announcements whenever you arrive somewhere resulted in very bad sleep. 2-3 hours at most.
AFAIK (as someone who does not work at Google), "brain teaser" questions have not been asked at Google for almost a decade.

Every time I see complaints like this I can't help but think the posters have a chip on their shoulder from being rejected by Google or a similarly selective company. It's never a commentary on any fundamental issues with these types of interview questions and no one ever comes up with a better process that is equally scaleable and effective for hiring generalists. In my experience interviewing with dozens of small, medium and large companies, the vast majority of technical roles require these types of questions now. These come off as criticisms against Google specifically for asking hard variants of these questions.

I don't personally have any issue with companies asking questions like these as long as they don't simply look for "a correct and optimal solution coded up perfectly whilst under stress in under 30 minutes", but rather the process of solving the problem.

The other thing is that protesters actually mostly wore masks. It's kind of something to slam the media for not reporting something that didn't happen.

The thing protesters didn't do was social distancing.
Horseshoe-theory is indeed a thing. As for where it stops; we've already seen Mastercard/Visa force platforms like Patreon to blacklist users, Cloudflare pulling routing to sites, registrars willing to essentially dox owners of 'bad sites', social media blacklisting links to stories hosted on gov websites, Chase-bank closing the accounts of people associated with controversial political groups..

Kind of makes you miss the good old days when companies were just mindlessly greedy rather than pushing morality/ideologies.
In that similar vein of Houellebecq's described struggle, I'm reminded of the characters in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" who live isolated depressing lives and yearn to keep real, living animals as pets but instead substitute them with robotic pets due to real animals becoming so rare.
I was talking about Facebook and Twitter. Admittedly, I am used to the world where these services basically define social media. I think I am a bit too old to be in the demographic TikTok seems to be appealing to.

Still, Facebook and Twitter just have way more content and users than porn websites, and it’s going to be easier to fly under the radar. Twitter accounts with fewer than 500 followers are basically invisible.

Of course, banning pornography really does roughly solve this problem, but it’s a pretty nuclear solution... (I would prefer a world where we’re less weird about erotic content, not more. I get why it’s complicated, but I still think we can do better.)
>not prima facie crazy.

No, You're right. It's not.

But I mean, it's totally different that a hack to Solarwinds and FireEye that was before the election and just assume a correlation knowing that all these counties and election systems suppliers use SolarWinds but only might be contributed to Russia should be considered the same as the Russian disinformation campaign carried out on Facebook ads in 2016.

I mean, one would be election shattering but there is no proof, and the other we are pretty sure happened even though nothing came of it at all.
In my mind the question is whether all of the relevant sites are making reasonable efforts in getting rid of illegal material. "Reasonable" here is probably best determined by courts, and I would dismiss any comparisons between sites abilities. If Google, a world leader in AI technology, has a better filter that doesn't mean anyone else's efforts are unacceptable.
I believe it was at a scene where they were having dinner (lobster?) at an expensive restaurant, and one of them goes ballistic for some reason. Le Carré was sitting at the next table, if I am not mistaken.

Why can’t the US build consumer electronic products? (2015)
I can tolerate pretty cold environments, but why should I have to? The outdoors are the reason we invented the indoors.

“The potential energy savings are huge; the costs are almost nil.”

This is a complete fantasy. What’s actually happening here is, faced with a hard problem (heating indoor spaces in a sustainable way), they have decided to solve a much harder one (changing the behaviour and physiology of everyone on Earth) in the guise of a simple one (if only we all wore more clothing). What sounds like a simple solution is therefore actually nearly impossible, and of little use to us unless we’re facing extreme circumstances.

The whole point of civilisation is that life does not have to be a survival exercise. If we can’t come up with anything better than this line of reasoning, then we are done for.
Is that even really true? Movies ETC that are aggressively removed and don't stay on youtube for long if at all. Maybe it used to be more lenient, but I can't remember the last time I saw something on youtube like that.
I remember my tech-savvy uncle was used to PCs which could read double-sided floppy disks. His jaw about dropped out of his skull when he saw me do the 0.5 second floppy-disk-flip that Apple IIc gamers got used to doing, because they could only read from a single side of the disk.
Not if you die at 50. Or 40.
That’s a good point about reading directions, especially in a list that’s ranked. Thank you for the feedback.
This seems to be a common misconception, but not true. Letting the apartment cool down will always use less energy than keeping temperature up.

I would think this is just very obvious. Keeping the temperature up will lead to more heat loss. I can try to find some supporting material if you wish though as I've heard this same claim before.
Slack drives me a bit nuts - everyone at my office loves it because it is very well optimized for engagement and, well, chat. That's great and all but in a work environment I want my tools optimized for communication and work, which are often at odds with chat. The SNR is completely wrong for me.
I look after a lot of data. We have gone thru many different ideas and solutions. Data catalog is the only working solution we found after we POC ton of vendor solutions.

If these products all needed to compete for users, maybe google would get left behind. But many of the bad examples mentioned are from Docs and Gmail and things with large networks effects and huge frictional costs for users wishing to switch services, not even mentioning the services that are near monopolies and for which users don’t have many alternatives to.
> Perhaps read the source I linked you?

The redacted Japanese one, or the Wikipedia article?

The Wikipedia article doesn't contradict me. It says "serious explosion", but nothing about kilotons, and says "would eject more material" but nothing about a large area. That's a reasonable estimate.

> you don't need a containment vessel to create a large steam explosion.

You said a "kiloton level" explosion. That does require containment.

> If you drop gigawatts of thermal energy into a body of water

Before it melted entirely through, the concrete it was melting would be hot enough to boil the water on the other side. That steam would have been uncontained and would have vented out of the entrances to the basement, blowing doors open if needed. Based on how slowly the molten core was progressing downward this likely would have removed a fair bit of water before it actually melted through and began boiling the water rapidly.

And then, have you ever seen someone stick their hand (quickly) in liquid nitrogen or molten lead (done with a wet hand)? The Leidenfrost effect limits the contact with a layer of steam. You can't transfer those gigawatts straight into the water all at once. And while you're waiting, the steam is venting up through the new hole in the ceiling.

Without a sudden, contained, steam generation event the further core ejection would be limited if it happened at all.
Some of the "floppy extender" programs used more than the usual number of tracks, so unless the 41st was hidden somehow so that its existence was a secret, it would be no harder to copy than all the others.

Of course, that may well be why it was so successful --- the extra track wasn't well known, and information travelled much slower back then.
They said stolen, not anything of what you mentioned.
This, right here, is Lambda's biggest trick.
I created a hacker account just because of how much it infuriates me to see Austen doing it again here.

Austen is very very good at finding public criticism and responding to it. In contrast, in Lambda's slack, every criticism is automatically taken to private PM, to get it out of the way as soon as possible and to immediately shutdown any ensuing conversation. (A few times, when that didn't work, they turned off comments altogether.)

Lambda's strategy is to PRETEND to be responsive to feedback, to say a lot of pretty words and act concerned, while actually ignoring all of it.

For example, they created a student survey to see how students felt about removing the majority of paid teachers (team leads) and forcing us to be mentors instead.
One of the first questions?

"Do you agree that leadership is an important part of being a successful programmer?" (approximately)

The rest of the survey was the same. They weren't interested in getting feedback. They were interested in pretending to listen to feedback.

Austen is minimizing student frustration in this comment, acting like people are grumbling about minor changes.
He's ignoring the many many people who have written out long, articulate, arguments about how the changes damaged their education and removed the value of Lambda for them.

He also acts like he didn't delete every post in the Lambda subreddit that offered criticism over the last three months, without any response.

False honesty in threads like this is how Lambda gets away with being dishonest.
Honestly, Facebook’s UX and UI are great.
Fox news and similar cheered the magic fixes, what other media was doing that?

Or are you going in the direction of a few discredited doctors presenting evidence that it works?
> you can't just revamp the UX for a product used by billions of users without some pretty serious blowback.

Of course there is, therre's always someone who will be upset. The problem is they've kept making it worse and worse to unanimous dissent, despite any research or the well paid "very good UX designers, UX researchers, product managers, and engineers."
This is a great answer - and this doesn't just affect products with hundreds of millions of users. It's a classic case of Innovators Dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma).

> Frankly, I'm surprised that certain nations haven't mandated these technologies seeing as they would give a nation a competitive edge over other nations who did not.

Germany and Switzerland sure are! Well, not "mandating" as such, but

* subsidizing it for private buildings

* mandating for public buildings

The general goal seems to be around 40 kWh/(m^2 a), with additional incentives/targets to go to full passive (i.e. net zero energy usage).

Unfortunately, most of the reading material is German (at least on Wikipedia) :(.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minergie and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house are good starting points in English.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effizienzhaus (German) has some details on the subsidies. Without knowing too much about real estate prices in Germany right now, the available loans to refurbish buildings seem to be in the order of somewhere between "certainly worth it when buying a decrepit old house in a flyover state like Brandenburg" and "well I guess if we're already building a new house, we might as well take out this low-interest loan and build it energy efficient as well".
Edit: My mistake.
The Apple Watch has estimated VO2 max for a while. I think this is just some “gamification” Apple has added.

Feature phones have batteries that last a week or longer. Smart phones require daily charging.

There are some sports-specific watches that have long battery life, but then you can’t do all the things you can with an Apple Watch, a list of which is evolving annually with new apps, features, complications, etc.

It depends on what you want! Like the other commenter, I charge mine daily when having coffee in the morning and it never gets below about 40%.
As usual; if a compiler knows about undefined behavior I would much rather it throw an error rather than optimize something the programmer didn't intend based on the compiler out-smarting a human's ability to be specific.

Strongly doubt that would have been a net effect considering the amount of corporate attention and support was received. Ferguson in 2014 might be a better example case, where there was little to no corporate involvement. Your point is true though, no doubt.

People often retort that no one cares about decentralization, well we're going to find out if that's really true over the rest of the decade.
Social media isn't opt-in though. Facebook has routinely collected data on non-Facebook users, my name/likeness/content can appear on social media without my consent, and there are hardly controls for protecting such things in any meaningful sense.

I deleted Instagram months ago and I have friends that have routinely told me that profile is still up, just in a limited capacity. How is this opt-in?

An even better example of it's non-opt-in nature is that I went as far as to ban all social media via my VPN and router. The result was unexpected when looking at American news, it often quotes from and derives sources from social media. Reading news articles that were mostly Twitter statements or reactions made it hard to discern what the articles were even about in the first place.
It's not an outlier of an experience. My cohort really did go through 2 units with no one looking at our assessments and assignments, and we determined whether or not we passed onto the next unit. It was an organizational mess.

Well done, the website looks solidly made. This is my first time seeing sentiment illustrated with candlesticks, I find that very interesting.

My first instinct is I want to see index ticker symbols overlaid on top of the sentiment chart to how well they do or don't correlate. Just showing periods of on/off correlation between tickers and sentiment in general would be an interesting visualization. Have you considered this?
Wow the hackers had free rein over basically any company that they wanted.

-all five of the top five U.S. accounting firms

Does your flight include all of your travel time?

I mean, I can be at the train station fairly quickly (10 minute walk): The airport is out of town and I'd take a bus - an earlier bus than I think I need just to be safe. Does the flight mean that you get a hotel that you could skip on a night train? How long are you waiting at the airport?

Airport time isn't just flight time.
To be fair, if you unit test your objects, there are usually two implementations - the real thing and a mock. If you have a solid mocking framework, that can alleviate this need.
