> The only place automatics are preferable is in stop & go traffic.

There are also some off-roading advantages, although in general it’s a mixed bag. You don’t want to shift while your clutch is underwater, for example, and from what I understand driving in sand is easier in an auto due the smoother shifts and corresponding lack of a loss in momentum.

Also, for extreme rock crawling, it’s helpful to have feet on both gas and brake, plus no burning up the clutch.

(I’m far from an expert, I don’t crawl rocks, and my primary Jeep is a stick, so this is primarily hearsay.)
I'm speculating here but Facebook strikes me as being different than most companies: given an equally viable choice between an ethical and an unethical solution to a problem, Facebook seems to prefer to choose the latter. I think it makes the execs feel ruthless and clever.
I have been rejecting job offers whenever there is a tech interview involving coding assignments, trivias and the like. It has worked fined for me (dev with more than 5 years of exp.) but I can understand that for juniors it's more difficult to reject such practices.
If I did that & something for bash that used awk | python to do FP arithmetic I might be able to evolve to a more "portable habit/muscle memory" even if Bash never learns FP arithmetic.

Yes, you are being needlessly hostile. Your hostility serves no purpose beyond embarrassing yourself.

Regarding nuclear power accidents, of course this is actually a great record considering the amount of power nuclear provides and the number of deaths caused by other forms of power.

I don't think you've yet made a worthwhile argument and you continue to try and be rude. On top of that, you don't even seem to believe the argument you are pretending to make. I won't read further replies here.
Google Cloud Domains: Easily register and manage custom domains
Fortunately a lot of EU funded research projects require that any paper stemming from a project has to be published under Open Access.
1) What opinions do you have on encrypted DNS solutions (i.e. DOH, Anonymized DNSCrypt), Othernets (i.e I2P, Tor) and their effectiveness with regard to end user security/privacy? Do you foresee any technical weaknesses in these systems that can and should be addressed?

2) With a surge in decentralized solutions (Mastodon, Ethereum), how do you think institutions like ICANN, IANA, or the DNS registry are evaluating there place in a future where a central authority will become less relevant to getting people online?

3) Besides weak passwords, credential stuffing, and ransomware, what are the major online security issues that don't seem to get enough attention but might have the potential to become Solarwind-level issues if not properly addressed?

4) How do ICANN and domain name registries regard freedom of speech and to what end? Regardless of what one might of think of Parler or legal arguments of Amazon's right to pull the plug on the former, what prevents someone from being booted off the net at the domain-name or IP-space level?

Because within 3 or 4 halvings, transaction fees will dominate the block subsidy. Coupled with possible further price increases, this means Bitcoin will maintain its huge carbon footprint.

That's not how any of this works.

Feelings of injustice run hot, but the rules are the rules, and it was following the rules that resulted in the effects you describe. The rules even make sense, which I know doesn't help those that assumed they would face no obstacles while trading.
I saw that. Honestly I think it maps better.
Not in the U.S.

Looking at the evidence, I would say this is a pure UX/UI issue at root: three people got confused about what they needed to do, and they all thought they completed their task successfully when they didn't.

The first UI issue is the obvious lack of intuitiveness. There is ancient software that is resonably intuitive to use, because the people who led development took responsibility to do the right thing: invest in UX/UI so that their software is a success. Others however cut corners to get more short-term profits, or dismiss design as if it was decoration (it's not, good design is form + function and most serious designers pay more attention to the latter than the former).

The second UI issue is (an assumed) lack of feedback in the output of the transaction. After doing the transaction, if there was a feedback screen confirming to the user what they've done, the error could be caught much more easily.
For example, before actually sending any transaction there could be a screen saying:
- Summary of transaction
- X$ will be sent to account XYZ
- X$ will be sent to account ABC

This looks like obvious stuff, but is often obvious stuff and small details what turn a problematic user experience into a succesful one.
Good Stuff.

I dug into the APIs a few months ago and found it pretty deceptive (on Apple's part) how much of that generated depth map is from the stereo cameras vs the LiDAR sensor. If you cover the cameras or use it in the dark, the quality decreases drastically.
From my reading there is no null, and no generic types either.
I used their ORM library in a medium sized project. As the project grew, it turned a nightmare scenario. After that experience, I stick to core and raw SQL queries. I hope 2.0 brings some meaningful changes.
It’s really just what you’re used to. I grew up using mechanical keyboards and find keyboards with shorter travel times annoying because I already have the muscle meme out of hitting the keys harder.

I also quite like the clacketty sound they make but I totally get why some people would find that off putting. For me it’s as soothing as the sound of gentle rain on an autumn evening. Maybe I’m weird there but I’d wager I’m not unique.

Mechanical keyboards don’t need to be expensive either. I will grant you some people fetishise over high end keyboards but you can pick up new mechanical keyboards for the fraction of the price of those limit run models if you’re happy for something a little more mass produced (and, frankly, they work just as well).

Keyboard typing speed is always going to be dependent on what you’re used it. I bet some typists on a 1970s typewriter could run circles around the average developer on a chiclet keyboard.

Ultimately the choice of keyboard really boils down to personal preference.
That looks like an interesting link, I might check that out!

Also...

"Amorphous" -- is just another way of saying that the crystal patterns contain shorter runs within the whole of the material... in other words, you can have differing crystal patterns which take up smaller amounts of space -- than the whole of the structure...

That sort of brings us to Level 2...

Level 2 is not just understanding metals as crystals, but (potentially) as crystals containing runs of various crystal structures, which could be the same crystal pattern, and could be different crystal patterns -- interrupted by fractures.

That brings us to Level 3:

Level 3 is sort of understanding Crystals -- as Fractals, that is, as "nested containers", that is, crystals themselves -- may contain one or more repeating patterns much in the same way that the larger structure contains one or more repeating groups of crystals...

Anyway, my point is, there's a lot more research to be done here... that and certain words like "amorphous" can unintentionally obscure the deeper pattern... or broken patterns, as the case can be...

Level 4 understanding: Broken patterns -- are indeed broken at one level(!) -- but they can be part of a "higher order" (unseen) pattern... a higher-order "pattern-breaker pattern".

Which should be discoverable using higher-order (higher dimensionality) math...

As I said... more research needs to be done here...
> Governments have three ways to retire their debt, and all are pretty bad:

What does this mean for our deficit long term? Does the deficit even matter? To what degree? Everything you said is true. It makes it seem like we will most likely never live in a time where the government is cash flow positive (some kind of surplus that is used to pay down debt).
> Grids began to integrate because the easiest places to generate power— near large coal fields, for example —weren't necessarily close to large population centers.

In general it's not common to generate power near to large cities. Nuclear? Hydroelectric Power? Wind Farms? Some might be near cities and intermitent, but transmission lines are a thing.
In reality, manuals are barely available at all. Dealers rarely stock them, so you have to special order. And then the manufacturer forces you to either take “Option Package A” if you want the manual, or decides that you absolutely cannot have “Option Package B” if you choose the manual. All the choices go away once you’ve decided on a manual. It’s like they are offering them to make the magazine writers happy but doing their best to make sure nobody buys one.
The world also runs on fossil fuels, politics and processed foods. ;)
Lest anyone read this and fear that this is common: In my experience it isn't. Nor was it 4 or 5 years ago. I've never seen Coq crash at all, nor spit out any error message in French, and I was a full-time user for a while.
Reading you 5 by 5. Thank you.
I would recommend the opposite. I lived in a LATAM country and I earned a modest USD salary but my quality of life was much better than now, when I receive the "33% more" and live in the US. This is because:

- USD is always high, so currency conversion is very favorable. I literally earned 4x more than an engineer at the same position in a local big company.

- My spending was in local currency, so utilities and most of everything is very low priced compared to what I earned.

- Taxation in many LATAM countries is about 15% or less, depending on how you incorporate yourself.

- Health is much cheaper than of the US at a similar quality. I could have a major heart surgery for less than 10k USD with world renowned doctors.

- Migrating is never easy, cultural barriers, lack of family support and bureaucracy can add a huge amount of stress.

>>> In any case, I doubt this ruling will stand

I think it could easily stand for this specific case.

The loan was supposed to be repaid by 2023 if I read the article correctly.

It's already 2021, the case could very easily drag for another 2 years, then there is no reason to return any money because it was supposed to be paid.

The other party are other banks and hedge funds could can hold the money and can also afford lawyers.
That's a problem, but it's one that's more likely to be worked around (most likely: by maintaining unsafe forks for those platforms) than "creating entire new communities of support for another language" or "redesigning whole projects to make GC tenable".

I think you might see some full-system rewrites for serverside components where Go will work out. But I think the projects we're talking about, like I said, have ended up in this position mostly because they can't easily be written in Go, or they already would have been (if only be a competitor).
Great link. Thank you for sharing this.
Annoyingly, they didn't include "I am not a cat" into the transcription - he actually said that live at the beginning of his statement, got a chuckle out of me.
Yeah, the piece reads like a rationalization by a drug user still in the early stages of a problem.

We'll see how things turn out in the end (maybe I'm wrong), but I'm pretty skeptical of a positive outcome.
That's probably a good thing as if they were we'd have them opening up malware all day long.
It's also complicated by how in the 2010s we saw the rise of unicorns that could amass huge amounts of funding, and remain late-stage startups for long indefinite amounts of time. Was AirBnB really a startup, even a late-stage startup, in 2019? For the average employee, was the experience any different from working at FAANG?
> Sportsing a ball across a patch of grass into a special area isn't really much of a victory.

Wrong scale. Think smaller by several orders of magnitude. Think the daily life of someone with a dead end job, a wife they hate, and two awful kids. If their local team wins, that's a great victory by proxy. A victory to crow about with mates, a victory to tolerate a kid's failing grades, a victory to stoke the old love machine. We're tribal pack hunting monkeys. If our tribe wins, we win. And winning, of any kind, feels great.
I don't doubt it, but are they so common that I might walk by them in my own neighborhood? (I'm asking, I have no idea).
That's just an average. I'm doing 130K now. I'm from Chile and the cost of life difference between Santiago and Utah is practically zero, earning 6x.
Obviously is more difficult to do it having a family with kids, that the visas can cover the family as well. Giving a English education to your kids can be the best gift you can do them.
It's easy to become dependent on caffine. But caffeine itself is not intrinsically addictive. It does not directly interact with the systems in the brain associated with predicting reward.
I mean, I honestly don't really blame Robinhood's leadership here. This is incompetence, by virtue of having no solid precedent or guidance on what is the right thing to do here.

Gamestop's stock rise was unambiguous market manipulation. Sure, the difference between a single actor driving up a stock and a bunch of random people on the internet doing it is significant. But what isn't ambiguous is that GameStop stock wasn't worth nearly 400 dollars, and whatever was going on was fishy. Maybe this legal because of the decentralized nature of the manipulation, but this was likely unclear at the time. It still seems unclear to this day.

If Robinhood continued to allow trades then they could be accused of being complicit in market manipulation. This was probably unacceptable to them. If they banned buying and selling GME then they'd have shitloads if pissed customers who lost money because Robinhood didn't let them sell. So prohibiting buys but not sales seems like the least-bad action. Yes, it has the effect of downward pressure on the stock. But all of the alternatives were worse.
>The only bit I will agree with is that addiction is not caused by the drug itself, and is typically the result of childhood trauma.

Traumatic experiences plays a big role on addiction, but purely chemical addiction should still be factored in. Heroine is extremely addictive not just because of traumatic experiences, but because it induces very high dopamine releases.
I believe there is more fault with our regulators that allow the big guys to engage in naked shorts with impunity. There is an incestuous relationship with our regulators and Big Wall Street, so what would one expect.
Double check that your DNS settings is correct. I'm on BT and it's working fine for me. I've previously used it on VM fine too.
When a doctor interviews for a job, they don't ask them to do a day of "trial surgeries". They just assume they have the necessary skills.

The reason they can do that is because there are national standards for graduating which includes a board exam to test academic knowledge as well as a multi-year paid internship.

There are pros and cons to this type of system. Pros include knowing that anyone with a degree is qualified and maintaining minimum standards.

The cons is that is very much limits supply of doctors and locks out a lot of otherwise qualified people who can't get into a program, often excluding poor and minority folks.

But maybe there is a hybrid? Maybe we as an industry can come up with a test that anyone can study for and take and once you pass it you don't get trivia coding exams anymore. We just assume that you know what you're doing. Like a certification that everyone accepts.
Thank you for your reply.

If I understand correctly, this is an initiative that might have multiple sponsors, so it makes sense to have a central entity organizing it, and following up with all the projects involved. This makes perfect sense to me now.

Also, I was not aware that your org is behind Let’s Encrypt. This puts things into a very positive light.

It might make sense to post a sibling blog post/announcement to explain what this project is about and how it would work. I feel that Google’s post left a lot of questions to be answered.

If you don’t mind me asking, is rust the only language that you have in mind? Would go work as well?
To be sure, this is an ugly UI but this is not necessarily a pure UI issue at root.

of course it is...
And the attention mechanism should take care of "sentence, paragraph, section" level context. Attributing this to tokenization is a weird mistake to make.
I have to half agree with you, but in essence disagree. You are absolutely right in that this is not a UI issue where a checkbox was too small. But it was an usability issue that was caused by an inadequate UI. Plus an inadequate process, but that also manifested in the UI. UI issues can cover a lot :)

The user thought that setting the target account in one line would be enough to have the money be sent there instead of where it ended up being sent to. There the UI was misleading, that's a violation of the self describality a dialogue has to fulfill (I'll freely translate the principles, I would have to look up the official english translation); in that the UI has to communicate by itself in which state it is, what every button does, every icon means, what even is clickable etc.

Then the system did not clearly communicate what would happen. That's not only an issue of describing itself, it's also an issue of fault tolerance. The system did not prevent the user from a mistake he was about to make. This could have happened by clearly describing what would happen at the end of the process and offering an undo operation. They tried to implement this outside of the UI by requiring 2 additional set of eyes, clearly that was not a sufficient solution.

But most importantly, the process the UI was offering was the wrong one for the job. This was about sending parts of a debt to creditors. Instead of offering a clear way to do that, they had a convoluted process that involved a wash account plus a real money transfer to that account (how crazy is that!) instead of supporting exactly the work that was to be done. That violates the primary dialogue principle: Be the right tool for the job (Aufgabenangemessenheit). Admittedly, I miss context to know for sure what would be the right tool for the job and why they ended with this solution, maybe it's a bit less crazy than it sounds.

Yes, all of that together goes far above simple UI issues, but it's nonetheless an issue of the UI. It's just also a complete usability fail. It's really the job of usability professionals to analyze software and scenarios like this and to provide better solutions. That was and partly still is my job :)

The headline ideally should have called it an usability issue. That would have covered the UI part and included the other aspects.

Fascinating. I, too, decided not to use them after the "Get a quote" button was the only CTA. Usually that means I have to wait for a call back and I really don't want to talk to people. Instead I called my friend with a 3D printer. Haha, who would have known that "Get a quote" was "Print your Design".

I wonder if everyone else who wants 3D printed stuff is just better informed about this. I literally bounced off the page because of it.

> This is incompetence

Is it? I thought it was just a liquidity issue at the clearing house level. They had to temporarily ban selling. We get it, it benefitted the "evil" hedge funds to the tune of billions. Wildly coincidental to the point that it's being treated as if it was corruption.

But if it really was a liquidity issue at the clearing house level, what could have been done differently? From how I understand it, they were floating people who where long GME on unsettled transactions credit wise. If the entity you have a credit line with says "you're about to be in danger to the terms you agreed upon unless you fix the problem", they simply fixed the problem (stop allowing more people to rack up GME shares on their credit). Sucks but that's the reality.

To their credit, I've watched NASA spend decades getting better at Internet services and generally being an online presence. Improvements year-over-year have been noteworthy. But I still have to chuckle a little bit that they triggered a DDOS protect by name-dropping themselves.

This seems like the kind of thing that was originally a paper form that got coded 1-1 to avoid friction, and then decades later someone was not trained properly on how to use.
Potentially don't wire them together? That is, isolate them in separate parts of the code.

I always found Flask-SQLAlchemy a strange approach because it ties opposite and somewhat orthogonal parts of the request lifecycle together. When requests-to-data-transactions is a 1-1 relationship it's a convenience, but once you step out of that I think it's better to do things by hand.

My main app has a simple layer structure of "request > business logic > data layer". All of the business logic functions start a SQLAlchemy transaction using a Python decorator that is ~10 lines of SQLAlchemy code.
Has there been any major updates in the last 6months or so? It was a lot of fun to play around with but didn't remember all my earlier decisions so felt pretty inconsistent.

There are a lot of cool things here, but I think conflating a data structure with how it is allocated in memory is a huge mistake.
