There is a distinct lack of accessible Covid19 data for people who are blind and/or visually impaired.

I agree, this is probably because we never 'speak' (although write) in programming languages trying to convey something. This goes same for 'hearing' (although we read and understand, hopefully). We always use human languages for those purposes, well, except for those times we speak in pseudo-code.

* it's not really cyberpunk*

Having read a bunch of great (and not so great) cyberpunk fiction from the 80's & 90's, that's actually a theme that really shines through here for me. Crazy cybernetics & brain/computer interfaces, hacking, drugs, weird AI doing things like running a transport/security company with some splinter groups that have existential crisis... I really get that original cyberpunk vibe.
So... you're talking about something that doesn't exist
> it's a lot harder for things to get seen.

Here's something I've always wondered: I don't really get this obsession with maximizing the number of people who go to one's web page. If you're just a regular person who's not profiting from ads or something, it shouldn't matter.

If I post something to the internet, I maybe send it to a few people who might want to see it and that's it. I don't care about collecting pageviews, or likes, or follows, or upvotes, or any of these vanity metrics. It doesn't really matter to me if something I wrote was viewed by 10 people, 1000 people, or 100,000 people. Who cares? What difference does it make? My life is not richer because thousands of random people read some blog post or forum comment.

The only reason I can see to promote some creative work is if you're making a profit off of it. In that case, it's an investment. Spend $X on discovery and make $Y in revenue from ads or conversions or whatever. But just to put up some web site about your stamp collection? Who cares how many people visit?

Oh, I didn't mean that the physical mounts have been mostly reverse engineered. I meant that the camera→lens communications have been fully to almost fully reverse engineered.

Mount optical characteristics are very simple. Just make sure your base mount has a larger diameter and a shorter flange distance, and you're golden. If you are designing your camera around that it is almost trivially done.

The code for implementing a basic E mount is on github, for the EF mount you just have to go looking around on some forums or buy it from the guy behind Metabones, same for Nikon G.

I find this mirrors my experience. Although written language does eventually call upon highly visual parts of the mind, the structures and mechanisms I visualize when reading code are more highly dimensional than the initial mentally vocal interpretation of text. A program small enough to hold entirely in my mind that I know well, such as a piece of demo-scene code I'm golfing, is a sort of multifaceted non-visual abstract sculpture with features and values that interconnect in a seamless manner that I can interact with and predict the effect of my modifications on. I highly enjoy being utterly engulfed in the flow of this simultaneously logical and artistic activity.
Congratulations! You have lasted longer than most silicon valley startups and have made more money than even some of the big names.

REST endpoints typically return a specific set of data that you can optimize queries for. Whereas the GraphQL endpoint must handle arbitrary queries which will require some logic to prevent N+1 queries on the related tables or even resolve to other data sources.
Re. the last point, was trying to think of computations where 1) an efficient in-place version is possible, and 2) the most efficient out-of-place version is significantly faster than copying the input and executing the in-place version.

In 1D convolutions, the in-place version would need to use O(filter size) scratch space for lookahead, but this doesn't seem like it would be too significant. However, it might start to become significant in higher-dimensional convolutions.

Any particular example that occurs to you?
>Security researcher Vinoth Kumar told Reuters that, last year, he alerted the company that anyone could access SolarWinds’ update server by using the password “solarwinds123”

Wow.
From the perspective of people who run real, serious monitoring systems for big ISP stuff, solarwinds has never been taken seriously. It's "monitoring" software for those persons who are entirely dependent on the Windows GUI.
What Mozilla is implementing here, I suspect, is RFC 6761 section 6.3 item 3, which says:

Name resolution APIs and libraries SHOULD recognize
localhost names as special and SHOULD always return
the IP loopback address for address queries and
negative responses for all other query types. Name
resolution APIs SHOULD NOT send queries for localhost
names to their configured caching DNS server(s).

A few notes:

1) The use of "the IP loopback address" is a bit weird in IPv4, of course.

2) It's hard to know which loopback address to return from an API without violating the "SHOULD NOT" part of this item.

There's really no way to win here. In theory Firefox could do the resolution as normal and then if it doesn't come back as loopback replace it with 127.0.0.1. That would be perfectly within the letter of the RFC, since none of the stuff above it MUST-level requirements, but probably not really within its spirit, since it would violate the "SHOULD NOT" bit.

Note that Firefox is not alone here; Chrome has the same behavior last I checked. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1220810#c28 is a comment from one of the networking/security folks at Chrome about this precise issue, in case it's of interest.
Amazon didn't touch Redshift for years and years, until suddenly Snowflake became a thing and then they remembered they had Redshift.
I'm not intending to make some grandiose point here, only that I suspect natural language aptitude is highly correlated with success in various different domains, not just programming.
> SF property taxes are 0.65%.

The base CA property tax rate is 1%, so it can never be lower than that. It's nearly always higher since localities can add assorted fees to it (so of course they do).

You might have a long-time owner paying 0.65% due to prop13 slowing the year-to-year increase, but as a new purchaser your CA property tax will always be >1%.

About 95mn head of cattle in the US. https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/animal-products/cattle-beef/...

Why would I make up such a specific number?

Most US beef and dairy cows also eat hay / grain that's been grown commercially (using a lot of energy to plant, fertilize, harvest & transport). It's cute to think cows just wander around grassy fields eating naturally occurring 'carbon neutral' grasses, but there's a reason one sees so many bales of hay at dairy farms.

And a cow being 'in Brazil' means it's standing where the rainforest used to be.

Nicely written. I'm not sure I'd have gone to "the dress is BLUE" but there is the question out there about how people want to discuss visual perception issues, in the context of a service delivering RGB (I mean, that many of the "what colour is this dress" consisted of poorly encoded representations of states of colour, using classic #RGB encoding, and were not actually well formulated visual perception examples suitable for use on an electronic display. Some of them literally encoded the two 'things' being compared differently, and did not actually stimulate a perception-response outcome: they were different colours as rendered)

Huh?

There's sandbox in Windows now, and before that there was SanboxIE which I never needed though.

The backup on Windows is transparent and keeps all versions of the files. You just need to specify destination when it starts nagging.

Your Python script has nothing to do with OS. I have a few C# scripts for DynDNS and other stuff.

Windows takes about 20GB, and lives with full Visual Studio on a 60GB drive with about 15GB left.

Sounds like you haven't really used Windows after 7.

Human language tends to be pretty fuzzy. Code seems to be quite precise and very pedantic about details.

In human language, you can play with idioms, metaphors, double entendre, etc.

In writing code, you miss one symbol and it breaks.
TW3. CDPR dropped the ball (though not quite this hard) but pulled through within a year. No Man’s Sky missed that target but still managed to eventually have a (supposedly) decent product. Ask the average gamer how they feel about No Man’s Sky.

I am pretty sure there's something about REST that makes it so that it's easy to discover what resources are available.

I just pulled up Fielding's paper and couldn't find anything, but wikipedia has a reference to 'Hypermedia as the engine of application state' (HATEOAS).

But then again, I am not sure anyone actually writes systems like this. Very few people actually write REST systems and instead make REST-like APIs.

Seems to me that they have a `with good authority` hunch, but just need a few more pieces to make it a fool proof connection.

Finite State Morphology was mentioned in the comments and was new to me. It really does look much more useful than regular expressions at the expense of some verbosity.

Yes, any moron can learn the basics of driving in a couple of hours but they’re far from average or good drivers, it takes a bit more than that to become an average driver and there are still some factors at play which might influence that: spatial ability, reflexes, attention span, how one handles stressful situations. But a moron can be a good driver without being smart about other things or having a good education
A third possibility is that the attacker is pretending to be someone else as misdirection and that whoever is investigating fell into their trap.

Back in 2000 we were mandated with a big push to eliminate all shared excel documents and turn them into real database driven products. There was this one department that had a huge excel database that was bringing the network to its knees. Around that time I had discovered that you could create a function in excel with the moniker of a null character (alt-255). We had used that for playing pranks on one another. Someone had the bright idea to put a function into the code that invoked a slowly increasing pause. That function was sprinkled all throughout their code and no one knew because you can’t see a null character.

A few months later that department was practically begging us to convert their excel document into a database project.
