You can write scripts for nagios to monitor those endpoints or do end-to-end tests for you. I have done this in banking , healthcare, and gaming.

On a smaller scale you can probably just have cron jobs run these and email/sms you when things fall down.

Forgot to add -- generally though in production you will detect very early on when your code starts crashing or gets rejection rates.

In my day job we generally know when FB/Apple/Google are down/degraded before the larger internet because of scale and integration with their payments and our monitoring.
> Data on the tape is stored at a record-breaking density of 317 gigabytes per square inch

Me wondering about those micro SD cards that can store 1Tb.
I'm more interested in the lifetime of the medium. Durable backup media for consumers is still a holy grail as I understand. M-DISC didn't hold up to their 1000 year lifetime promise. Archival-grade DVD's are also not good enough as I understand. Syylex went bankrupt. I want a consumer-grade backup medium that can provide at least a 100 years of lifetime.

That said, I was able to recover 90% of the voice recordings my father made between 1959-1963 on reel-to-reel tapes 60 years later. Tape can be very durable but what I recovered was analog voice very tolerant of errors. I'm not so sure about gigabytes snuck into an inch-square.
I think the opposite. Those questions are incredibly easy to answer, why would an HR organization pay for something that's about 2 clicks away on a (yes crappy, but readily available) web portal?

It's the questions that are difficult that you need people to answer and some chat bot cannot figure out. "Chatbot, does my spouse taking a new job trigger health plan reselection allowance for my family?" Go figure out that one and maybe you've got an idea.
My non-invasive way for basic security - nothing sent to third parties at all; no blocking of VPNs other than the usual anti-bruteforce stuff:

- GeoIP server side; trigger MFA (email a confirmation code) if country mismatch. Anything less is too granular unless you have some good reason for it, people moved to cheaper places during the pandemic, mobile connections geo horribly wrong when NATed

- Drop a random unique cookie (long-lasting) on the client; if this cookie is not present and valid/signed prompt for MFA

- Give the user an opportunity to revoke all logged in sessions
How much does it insure?

Satoshi’s gold Bitcoins are worth something like $8 billion dollars. I doubt anyone is insuring that.

Even the FDIC only insured up to $100,000 of your bank account. Maybe up to $250,000 now.
Why is mac on ec2 so expensive?

This is a genuine question, I'm not being snobby or anything like that.
I'm sure some people like the XPS 15, but having tried it, I don't believe that it fits here - and honestly, I've not found _any_ Dell hardware to have fit and finish remotely close to a MacBook.
They where poor stewards of the platform, to be sure. The security situation was very bad, and they did little to discourage people from using Flash for all of the wrong reasons. But you could just as easily turn around and blame Apple for the depressing state of mobile gaming.
I have a robot under way that can pass the butter, sadly.

You'd probably have less TCO if you just buy a mac mini and sell it when a new generation comes out. If you take good care of it you can sell it for 30% of the original purchase price.
This headline is a flat-out lie. They know their readers won't actually read the whole NYT article in question, so they shamelessly misrepresent it.

NYT is reporting on something that happened and providing context. They interview the girl who got cancelled, which means she gave them permission to use her name and direct quotes. They paint her in a very sympathetic light. They don't demonize her at all. They allow her to repeatedly say that she was young and behaving like a typical thoughtless teenager.

> The New York Times has opted to assist a teenager's desperate quest to ruin the life of a young woman who said something stupid when she was 15.

So what does Reason want?

Should NYT ignore the story altogether, even though it's of public interest (as a microcosm of cancel culture)? Should they write it only from the perspective of the girl who was cancelled?

They did what they should have done, which is try to get into the heads of both students. Their attempts to sympathize with the white student will anger some liberals, and their attempts to sympathize with the Black student(s) will anger some conservatives.

This is just Reason intentionally ignoring half the article to throw some rage-chum into the water for their readers.
I would argue the issue is there are only so many people talented at this particular skill, "making a meet up that works" and so it doesn't scale.

There are all kinds of issues. Setting an agenda. Getting people to follow the agenda. Fostering conversation. Finding venues. Getting the right mix of people. I've been to so many meetups where these kind of issues were not handled well.

If you just want random people you can go to a bar. If you want "like" people it's much much harder.
I'm so sorry you went through that. I fully agree about eliminating anger from my personal life.

With that said, an exception to a case doesn't invalidate an entire article or philosophical argument. In this case, I think it mainly narrows the application, if anything. This premise is a side piece at best to the argument, so I would pause before even going that far. Specifically here, I think it is important to distinguish between anger at a person and anger directed at larger injustices.

Philosophers tend to generalize in order to get to conclusions in the same way that macro-economists work at a high level. Without either, neither field would be able to arrive at anything meaningful.
It is logical now, not logical for the long term. This applies to interpersonal relationships also -- things that are logical when you're at the top might be logical in the long term.

I've had very senior people come back years later asking me for references or an "in" at another company. You cant do that later if you abused your privilege back when you could.
Ah, a good ole cancel war. Which side will win? Does the victor win, or lose? Or does tribal affiliation of the reader determine who's winning, and whether that's virtuous? Or is this just more fuel for the dumpsterfire?

My guess is that, at this point, Apple has absorbed the vast majority of people who care about these things. And that is causing the other manufacturers not to care, because they have already lost the audience who does...
I did not know that about Canada's laws, it's definitely disconcerting. Also, how does that work with the 30m distance from bystanders rule, doesn't count because they're not outside?
A truly free and open internet mesh network. We are so dependent on big telecom conglomerates as an ISP that run the last mile for the internet backbone. Wireless technology is simple and ubiquitous. I surprised we haven't come up with an ingenious way to connect all of our mobile and wifi hotspots together yet.
Maybe that he uploaded them to an unpaid service which might make a policy shift to remove the data at some unknown time in the future?
Facial recognition is one of those "the little things add up" type deals. The tech is still not on par with humans and humans can't reliably recognize each other (unless it's like your sibling or something) without context clues when it's someone they aren't expecting and the person is wearing a mask or has a beard and the lighting is crappy.
Assuming that's allowed: many lease agreements in major cities in the US explicitly disallow sublets, or require landlord approval. Landlord wouldn't have any (financial) incentive to approve since they get money either way, and taking on a temporary subtenant is usually higher-risk than a regular renter.

Then again, if the current tenant has a lead on someone to potentially take over the lease and become a long-term tenant, then everybody wins.
While I appreciate your point, I hope nobody is using my question as a tutorial for anything.

I’ve been the lead organizer of a largish group with a couple hundred very active members. But getting to that point was quite a challenge that was made harder by Meetup. The group still ended up falling apart.

The Meetup platform is pretty terrible. It’s designed to get people to join many groups, most of which they never engage with and just get a lot of spam from. I’m sure >99.99% of pre-pandemic “social” Meetup groups were totally inactive. Most of the rest would have semi-regular events that <4 people would sign up for.

That said, I think there’s a lot room to build a better version of Meetup.com. The main problem with it is that the managers just don’t know what they’re doing, or are in too deep with tech debt and legacy code. If someone here actually wants to build a better version of Meetup, let me know.

Standardized interchangeable packaging for consumer goods.

Ever been to a book store in Japan? Practically every book is the same size. As a result, bookshelves also are designed to be the right size to optimally fit books. This allows people to fit more books in small homes. It makes books easier to transport in book-sized boxes and book-sized bags too. You can get perfectly-fitting reusable cloth covers to protect your library books.

American bookstores are a war between publishers to stick out from the shelves as much as possible. There's not much that a bookshelf designer can do except guess and have adjustable, oversized shelving.

That also describes the state of today's packaging. With more shopping happening online, the need for items to stand out on a shelf is lower, and the need for them to fit nicely in boxes is much higher.

Nobody would force you to design your products to fit the closest available standard package size, but companies would tend to do so more often because of the efficiency gains. Logistics companies like Amazon or Fedex could offer incentives.
I'm sure this is worse because of WFH but I experienced this at FAANG before WFH. The teams are giant, there's a huge list of things to work on, pick one, do it mostly on your own. Loneliest job I ever had. Yea there were co-workers and we'd get lunch and talk but we weren't collaborating, only co-existing.
Certainly negative indexes being out-of-bounds would be the most consistent behaviour, but that requires giving up the index-from-end functionality (or, at least giving up up with the defualt array access syntax).

If you are going to have negative indexing, there isn't really a better alternative than 1 based indexes; since you can't exactly do arr[-0]
There are many things in law enforcement that have either been proven to be worthless, near worthless or never been proven to be valid...

Eye Witness Testimony for example, aside from the fact the people are terrible at recall anyway and High Stress causes memory problems above and beyond the normal memory issues of the human mind, it is very very very easy to manipulate a victim either directly or indirectly to identify the "target" no necessarily the actual criminal

police "drug" dogs are another one, it is more or less a blank check to probable cause for a search.

Then there is one people never even question because it is the foundation of the legal system, the good old finger print... It always amazes me that with DNA it is always probabilistic, "1 in 4 billion people will have this same DNA" but with Finger Prints is an absolute, Match no match.. Call me crazy but I don't think that position is scientifically valid

I have thought about your and other peoples comments. It could well be just rounded to the nearest integer, making my +500ms assumption wrong. However, this would result in 59.51s being displayed as 0:60, though it should be 1:00. Rounding up has the same problem.

I went through the same assumptions coding my own timer. Let's just round everything. But this resulted in 51.0s being displayed as 1:51 on the timer, with rounding up it's even worse resulting in 1:01:51. So at least hours and minutes have to be rounded down. But that makes it even more confusing that seconds are NOT Math.floor().

So in the end I "gave up" and used the date-fns package (works great) but it also rounds everything down. That's why I believe that iOS adds 500ms so the minutes and hours work properly.

Since the focus of this article is Javascript they should have written:

'When explaining Javascript, we have to decide how to approach its shortcomings. There are mistakes in its design, and it has usability problems, and it is unreliable. How do we approach these and how much emphasis do we place on them?

One approach is: "Javascript has a lot of problems, but we'll show you how to avoid them." That can demotivate the learner: "Why am I learning Javascript if it has so many problems?"'

The answer is: "You need to know Javascript because it is the heart of web programming and one of the most widely-used programming languages in existence."

Javascript was designed and implemented in 10 days and became ubiquitous through the world wide web, despite its laughably bad flaws and shortcomings.

Gary Bernhardt's WAT talk shows just how non-sensical Javascript can be:

I love you, Javascript, but it's Stockholm syndrome.
> Assuming natural plants and some efficient way of using natural light

That’s the surprising result of "closed" greenhouses: standard solar panels convert to electricity that convert to LEDs at the right frequency that offer more yield. Plants only absorb very narrow bands of light. Then you have more gains because the plants don’t have to maintain temperature, fight pests, dig deep roots for water; day/night cycle can be optimised. It is leafy greens for now, but there’s no strong reason that other high-energy crops (like sugar cane, carrots, beetroot) wouldn’t work.

The girl was used as an example to push back against the broader culture of the school. It's unfortunate for her, but disproportionately punishing individuals for societal failures is pervasive in America.

Hopefully this will encourage administrators, teachers, and parents to take this as seriously as the rest of the world does.
I mean if there was longstanding evidence of the treatment working well enough and with low enough side-effects. I don't think we're anywhere close though. Think of phantom limb pain. That's a brain thing, and it's not clear whether being able to regrow extremities would also entail knowing enough about the brain / nervous system to fully solve phantom limb pain.
You can also think of negative indexes as a shorthand for length-N. arr[-1] is the same as arr[len(arr)-1].
I’ve been noticing that for a couple years, along with downvote abuse.

I'm speaking mostly to the media (owned by whom?), politicians and the surrogates of wealth that appear as a talking head to speak about the wealth tax.

The "Taxes were repealed in Europe so case closed" message that wealth is all too happy to push is a deflection from a thorough examination of the policy. Why were these policies "failures" in Europe? Some of the flaws of the European taxes have been already directly addressed by more recent Bernie and Warren proposals. For another example the issue some European countries had of their wealthy fleeing the country to avoid the tax isn't even possible US's tax system which will tax you regardless of where you live.
Teslas already have a user-facing camera. They are using them to make sure that if there's an accident, they can pin the blame on the driver (perhaps not looking straight forward, etc), and not their own technology.

Good point. The fact that it would be multi-billion industry means that it's probably super hard. I may be wrong but when people claim we're on the verge of curing ageing, I like to point that we're not even able to cure hair-loss.

The downstream consequences of this "zeitgeist," the homelessness, the displacement, the destruction of communities, the people right on the edge of eviction doing everything they can to make rent, people overcrowding into apartments so they can get enough salaries together to cover the cost of a room... I'm tired of my friends being forced to move. I'm tired of people living in their cars until they can find some place to crash. In a land of great wealth, this is horrifying. We put people, with jobs, playing their part in society, through a damned meatgrinder just so some assholes don't have to see a new building. I'm not typically a fan of journalism that's driven by personal stories, but in the case of housing it's really important to pay attention to them because the stats alone don't tell the story of what it means to get evicted and to have your entire life upturned because the zeitgeist demands that rents MUST GO UP rather than somebody somewhere pay for a condo and subsidize below-market-rent for somebody else.

Calling the state of housing the Bay Area anything less than "horrifying" is sugar-coating it, and I would thank you not to tone-police others.
Oh, cool. Thanks!

Mac sold outside of a shiny brushed aluminum case?

Jony Ive rolling in his grave.
Of the 5 XPS line laptops I've had, 2 had component failures that required replacement under warranty (drives and ports) and one had a hinge that failed just after the warranty ended.

As if that weren't frustrating enough, redeeming the warranty required about five hours total of phone conversation per incident. At every step of the way, they would demand I repeat dozens of irrelevant troubleshooting steps, or they would tell me the problem isn't covered (contradicting the last person I'd been handed off to), or they'd tell me it isn't covered but if I agree to pay to extend the warranty by another year then many he can ask his manager to backdate it and squeeze this in, etc. etc. As you might be able to guess, it's all sales/lies/incompetence and eventually I got through to someone high enough up to initiate the replacements under warranty.

Of the many Macbooks I've had, only one ever had a failure that required service. I just scheduled a time to drop the computer off, then picked it up a week later and it was fixed, didn't have to argue with anyone about my warranty.

Also - in my opinion - the XPS may be the best build quality of non-Apple laptops, but it's not even in the same league as a similarly priced macbook.
