Blaming NPM for that problem is not a cure. Your users don’t care about the sad tired pleadings of a developer about some distant information system in the cloud. All the users care about is that your software was unavailable. That is a security failure.

Again, developers don’t care because they don’t own the consequences of such monumental failures, which is why they will happily and frequently repeat this deliberate mistake until they are terminated.
Is this better than using the keyboard with arrow keys and ctrl/alt/shift?
That's still fundamentally a weaker system, no? Specifically, still possible to double spend, the only difference is that we assume that the network wouldn't accept block re-orgs that are that long.
From what I've heard, the hours you cite also enable moonlighting. Some people do a few hours a night and make as much as their day job. Sometimes it's even as a contractor in a related field that might service their main role. At least they're getting paid for this "overtime"!
It's not mouse hate, but an alternative way to use a computer.
For most of us mortals, typing is not the bottleneck when we are writing code, an article or whatever.

In any case, keyboard-only interfaces make the assumption that you know all of the shortcuts for each program you use. And boy they are inconsistent. They also offer zero discoverability for someone that did not read the manual (see the vim jokes). I like software that offers both good pointer UI + robust keyboard shortcuts for those who have learned the ins and outs and need to go faster.
Feeds Considered Harmful
What makes a Mac a Mac is hardware & software working together. Also the integration with other Apple things like watch, phone, and earbuds.
Hedge funds are increasingly gaining an information advantage from new technologies, like being able to track various proxy data across the globe like shipping volumes that don't show up on balance sheets yet.

They will increasingly come out better than before.

A small portion of intelligent retail investors are also gaining some information advantage due to the proliferation of online resources or data about companies, that traditionally hedge funds only had, or it wasn't as easily accessible as a few clicks away for retail. But they will need keen insight into upcoming trends and an understanding of technology that wall st. doesn't typically possess, along with the ability to read financial metrics.

They will somewhat do better than before.

The majority of retail is just as uninformed, won't have the time or willingness to do proper diligence and financial understanding of companies to invest in (95% gut feeling and hype, 5% being able to read a balance sheet). And now they can be manipulated through social media to act as herd behavior.

They will increasingly do worse than before.
I completely disagree. I use a Mac for work and basically never leave the terminal and browser. The "finder", which is a terrible name btw, is a completely useless file explorer. For everything a shortcut is needed, and they never make sense. Opening a file? Some key + down. What does Enter do? Renames a file. Okay, deleting a file? I don't know I forgot again. Want to drag and drop? Be real careful that the too-smart-for-its-own-good touchpad doesn't think you are pressing too hard, and don't spend too much time scrolling on top of a folder or it will autommatically expand. But hey at least you have Favorites right? What a wonderful idea, favorites in a file explorer, let's see what they are: first off you have airdrop, which I never enabled and never will. Then you have Recents. What is this about? They are not recent files created via command line, but some random collection of files that Finder thought they knew better about what to call recent, a complete waste of your time. Next you have Applications: What a wonderful idea, to list programs in the file explorer, even though they cannot be interacted in the usual way not have any file navigation to be seen. I guess the only purpose is to be able to drag files into this folder so easily impressed children are amazed by not having seen an installer running. Next you have the desktop favourite, which is important since I don't know any other way of acessing the desktop and it is quite a fitting name for the place only used for screenshots to be created in basically. Finally you have documents and downloads, which are the only real favourites of the bunch. Next you have an ad for the Apple cloud service, and finally you have tags, which I suppose let you aggregate files by color for children that haven't been taught about folders yet. Done with your work? Closing it just hides all windows, to really close the app you have to select Quit from the navigation bar. So at the end of the day I have to select my favorite windows and manually close all others.

If there is any consistency is that I can rely on having a bad experience and anything other than using the touchpad to switch between the same two apps will be better done on another OS.
I think the biggest reason we don't see a bigger adoption of federated XMPP is because unlike email chat wasn't seen as a serious communication tool or essential for business until recently. I feel like it was seen as a nice to have "toy", almost something for the kids growing up on the internet to use to talk where as "real" adults used the phone or wrote "digital letters".

For that reason it was never bundled with your internet connection like email and so the main stream masses never learned how the federation worked. So when stripped down versions with no out of the box federation (see Google and Facebook's early chat offerings) started to became popular it was easier to pull up the walled garden with impunity.

As they were able to introduce the new bells and whistles faster because they could safely ignore federation issues they could then have nice differentiation's from other competing chat networks
It's kind of bitterly ironic that on this site that comment is considered more inflammatory than someone like the top level commenter who effectively just says "lol only stupid people work for the government."
I'm not looking for a job, but I'm often invited to chat with a company's dev team, and I get a chance to see what they are doing and how they are doing it. The last company I visited was a handful of Physics Ph.D.s. They were writing control software.

Obviously, this team was really smart, but they were not high power software developers. They weren't ex-kernel developers and they didn't write 3D game engines in their spare time. They were just really smart guys that knew how to program.

They were using go, and I felt like that was a great choice for them. Fast enough performance, comfortable development, and easy enough to understand. This is what I really like about go.

Languages like Haskell and Common Lisp are popular topics here on HN, but they'd be poor choices for a startup made up of domain experts that aren't CS-majors. I'm sure these guys could have learned Rust or even modern C++, but with go they could get started in a language that wouldn't take a year of experience to use correctly.

For my many little personal projects, I like python, but for team projects were there will be a mix of abilities go seems like a good choice.
Most likely not - stuff will just fall down and nobody will talk about it. I'm sure the bricks they made in 2017 that actually see any load are already seriously deformed from creep/cold flow.
It won’t change until developers are terminated for gross negligence.
Given how long some of us had to hang on to Internet Explorer 6, I'm pretty sure the advertisers would have required their IT staff's to comply and install the "Facebook Browser".
This seems to be problem with Signal to be honest.

>The saying is that only $2 of iPhone is manual labour.

$2 under which wage? Like, is it $2 at $1/hr or $2 at $20/hr?

If the latter, it's negligible. If the former, it's an extra $39 which is apparently huge in the context of manufacturing.
The United States will not be a part of the “developed” world in 20 years; too much aging infrastructure is being neglected because the country is too corrupt to actually govern effectively.
I don’t know about that, there’s so many advantages to a digital transaction over a physical one that you can accept a lot of extra cost. Send any amount of money in about 30 minutes with absolute guarantee that it won’t be rolled back is a powerful ability. Shipping boxes of cash may be cheaper in energy expenses but has lots of risks and inefficiencies of its own.

the alternative (chucking it in a landfill) is worse.

How so?
I think you are just assuming things. I think most likely this is exactly like a lot of existing generators, such as Daz3D, but with a lot more work put into them. Especially regarding the material model, hair, animation morphs and the like.

Just look at the rig controls, it's exactly a better, and more polished version of rigging controls that have been used in animation studios for years. I think they are just doing what everyone else is doing, but with just a ton more money.
The article missed expanding on a weird contrast.

Some of the cars were less positive in the consumption comparison than they were in the range comparison or vice versa, but the Tesla’s were better in consumption than their range comparison.

The consumption and range measure slightly different items, but the article should have explained what the relation was between both outperforming for a car or both performing different.

If one car is leaving more of a buffer or not charging to 100% then the range will be effected. It almost looks like the Tesla’s are performing as rate in range but leaving a 10% buffer. If that is the case, Can the buffer be used or is it unavailable?

Actually this is not correct, you can also use key which is destroyed on lock.
> "Associate Prof. X" is not a title

I should clarify that: by "title" here I mean "a thing people are called", as in "hey, Associate Prof. X, what's up?". As opposed to an "official" job title.
They will be exposed to dinos because it is pervasive in children's culture (TV, toys, clothing) and education (preschool, elementary, museums, science centers, books).

If they like it is up to them. You can't push it. If they aren't interested at some point in time, they may be latter.
Most devs would, however, end up owning the consequences of fully vetting their dependency tree when their manager gives them a terrible performance review for taking 20 times longer to do everything else than their peers.

This can't change bottom up. Even if you went the professional licensing route you'd need top-down regulation to force companies to only higher vetted and licensed professionals, and to actually do verification of projects to make sure all your best practices were being followed and following up on penalizing developers who weren't.
My understanding is that the Texas state requirements used to be borderline insane, but that they have improved over time. Skimming http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter113/index.htm... , I actually found much less objectionable than I expected to.
Interesting point and in my case yes and all writing is attributed to the person who wrote it in print. And everyone got a book and a special private forum. In a way it was a community effort of mostly old timers who were there in the beginning.

I'm curious about your point of view. What is your take on these.

- If someone posts something in your forum. Can you legally repost in twitter saying.. so and so just posted?

- When you post in a public forum do you automatically assign the copyright as public domain by virtue of where you posted and who can see it?

- Facebook owns all of the content you post (pictures/posts/videos). Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content?

That's only because of fund degrossing. The idea that it's a safe haven for a near-world ending event (but not so disastrous as to wipe out all miners), is still valid
First, those 805M are tax rebates, they need to generate taxable profits to get anything back.

Second, even the 1800 jobs, say 100k avg - 180M a year vs 42M reduced taxable profits?

Apart from that, sure, you have huge equipment costs, where they come from now means its an opportunity for local companies to get in the supply chain.

I'm not sure what you are implying but this seems like a win anyway.

It's also interesting to see companies investing in the US, it means there are opportunities long term and US hasnt lost the chip sector.
> Population is growing. There are limited resources. One day someone's going to dam up someone else's water and wars will be fought.

I remember taking a university lecture on "water history" and it was... surprisingly fascinating and enlightening.

Some of the earliest conflicts have been over water for farming. The concept of hydraulic despotism describes how the need to control and coordinate water resources across large populations and lands gave impetus for the first civilisations and complex governments, like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, Peru, and others. They developed all kinds of technologies, measurement systems, and bureaucracies to deal with water.

They say that history doesn't repeat but it rhymes. There will certainly be more conflicts over water in the future. We have the civilisational 'technology' of national governments to manage intra-national resources, and we're seeing the active invention of new civilisational 'technologies' of international blocs and more to manage global resources.
There’s one lady named Robin Fox who gives seminars on this exact thing for a living. I believe her company is called Social Eyes.
As others have said, just show them dinosaur cartoons and movies and they are pretty much guaranteed to fall in love. For some reason, kids seem to be predisposed to liking dinosaurs at least a little.
Accused of being a RUS spy for making semi-successful app and having a RUS name
Good video structure and nice explanation. Liked the justification piece at the end. It's a reminder that most everyday solutions in our life are not the best version of what they could be.

Another thought: Remember that this is just one of many standards. People on the internet often forget that the US is not the only nation on here ;) https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/
Also, nice paper. An initial read of it though suggests it's only capable of building a set of textures and blendshapes, which implies that the actual topology is still in the realm of "artists" We really have no idea how to deal with geometry in ML.
I'm somewhat skeptic regarding pro tools that take a lifetime to master (never got to like emacs for example, and I like MacOS dar more than customizing a Linux distro) but there are some mouseless skills that are such a game changer for me I almost can't use a pc without them, everything else becomes too frustrating. Vimium to browse the web is a Godsend for example.

No need to learn for weeks, it's:

-j/k for scrolling

- J/K move around tabs

- f to click a link

- gg/G to go to the top/bottom of the page

- o to enter new url

Not exactly the most intuitive keywords if you haven't used vim, but you try that a couple hours and then using a mouse feels like clicking edit -> copy instead of doing ctrl-C.
No, it fixes that you don't have to chose between ListOfInts, ListOfStrings and ListOfListOfArrayOfInt.

BTW, one doesn't have to chose between them in Go either, but only because there are under-the-hood generics for the native types, that are only accessible to the language designers.
I didn't suggest this was a ploy, I'm confident that the person in question has only the best intentions. I don't think it's unfair to step back and ask what the right approach is, intentions aren't always enough.

For instance, the issue with flammability/melting and also microplastics contamination is real and worth asking. I wonder if using these bricks as building foundations or something might not be a good way of solving both problems at once. However, that's an idea that would only arise if we ask pressing questions in the first place.
> Google ACH and ask why it’s takes several days to transfer money from bank to bank.

Given that there’s approximately one country left in the world where that’s the case, I suspect the root cause is not a technical issue.
Apple has been doing it for ages, more universities should take inspiration from his and teach students practical skills and not just archaic programming technologies.
Presumably the government values US-based factories for reasons beyond just domestic employment (even if that's the biggest factor). Being able to produce chips in the US is good for national security.
Would you even need to emulate PS5/XSX games? AFAIK, they are already x86 - you would just need provide the library APIs and break the security.
The main function of the banks is lending and other services, not payments. In a retail bank just a tiny fraction of employees and budget are used for handling payments, it's a necessary piece of infrastructure for every bank but it's not a particularly large part of it.

'but I wouldn't fault Twitter for not rewarding this'

I would. A researcher who may do this for a living did not get paid for valid work they did. By definition that is a scam. And it flys in the face of what a bug bounty program is supposed to insentivise. Every unpaid report is a signal to not submit other valid bugs, undermining the whole program.
Such thoughts never cross yours?

I consider myself “recreationally paranoid”. I like to consider possible avenues of attack on me, and work out mitigations where possible. I’ve always considered it a subset of some people’s “hacker mindset”. The question of “How would I break into my stuff if I were motivated to, and what can I do to prevent it or make it more difficult to break?” provides me with a lot of satisfying thinking, even though I’m not planning to overthrow a government or move shipping containers of narcotics across borders.
Any reason why they can't access it from icloud backups?
It's true everywhere already. Compare the SPY to a large cap stock to a small cap stock, and you'll see tail events decrease monotonically along market cap. Compare BTC to a shitcoin. Compare the USD to a smaller currency. It's known to be a true thing and rather universal. Compare BTC now to many years ago.

The mechanism is that you get flows hitting both sides simultaneously (56 buyers vs 44 sellers) that tend to cancel out, instead of a single player (3 buyers vs 1 seller or vice versa) dominating the flow.

BTC volatility will go down as adoption goes up.
What about fire safety?
Grenouille is an online service for weather data
wood is a lot less flammable than a material made of chains of hydrocarbons, and has far preferable burning characteristics to plastic.

The two facts that 1) you could burn wood and 2) people build with wood, should not logically lead someone to claim that building things with any flammable materials is ok because of this.
nice, this is going to become a commodity technology in few years. I can see Unity following and then so many other 3d design tool makers with similar capabilities.

Mistakes and Meme
I thought about doing this on my own network (for caching purposes primarily) but I'm concerned about breaking the "end to end" guarantee of TLS.

Essentially, now a separate box on the network has full access to my TLS traffic and if compromised can silently intercept it (and it would be too late by the time I notice).

How do you deal with/rationalize this concern?
Nic Carter's point is intentionally obtuse and belies his conflicted interests.

The reality is that if you scaled up the bitcoin system linearly so it provided as much transaction capacity as Visa (let alone the entire world economy) [edit or rather worded differently if each Visa transaction consumed as much power as a Bitcoin transaction], it would require a number of times more power than the entire world produces, and produce as much e-waste as the entire world put together. Obviously this is not how bitcoin scales because even if you did that it would still process 7 tps.

That is, however, proof that it is drastically less efficient on a per transaction basis even factoring in any and all possible externalities including the army and mining and the fed (lol). This is a proof by contradiction.

Anything else is a talking point and also trivially falsifiable. The US Army protects the US not the dollar and its budget would not be reduced in a Bitcoin powered world. Neither would its oil consumption because tanks don't fill up on bitcoins.

The ubiquity of the dollar specifically is also irrelevant as we're not comparing crypto to US Dollars but rather to well-managed fiat systems. Any and all. Not just one albeit dominant one.

This is obvious stuff if you think about it for a half second without trying to justify the unjustifiable.

There are more positives in Adtech than negatives.

> support each package having its own conflicting dependencies

So that you don't have to integrate upstream changes continuously... Not a way to build a sane ecosystem if you ask me.

> package selection is much quicker than Python

So is it because it downloads multiple versions of the same dependencies that it's so much slower than pip? Or is there more?

I don’t think the server notices were based on this assumption. They were trying to use the draconian cyber security laws instituted after Mitnick and others got caught, which stipulated 10 years jail time for “unauthorised access to a computer system.”
Rhythm games are proof of that. Despite the 80ms or so "inherent latency" that we have, we can still be pretty exact in terms of synchronization with external stimuli.
