I’m not convinced and personally find it irritating. One data point I can share: Know your team (ex Basecamp) moved from magic links to offering passwords after a while. I think others went down the same path but can’t recall specific names. It’s fun for a short while until it isn’t. Password reset flows are magic link for those who don’t want to remember their passwords.
> emergency generators failed becaused of the flooding from the tsunami.

Exactly. Putting emergency generators below ground when the Tsunami levees were already insufficient was a boneheaded error that could have been fixed any year between the end of construction and 2011. That's 40 years of ignoring a problem a 10 year old would point out.
The FAA might take objection too. Some places won't let you have lasers within a certain range of an airport. Also, what happens if the mosquito turret mistakes a 747 for a mosquito? Sounds like an effective way to blind pilots. Cool idea though, might be fun indoors if your house is fireproofed.
That cannot be. It was widely reported that the complete South Western Airlines MAX fleet insisted on the second sensor being installed. And so they did. They bypassed the FAA rubber-stamp approval.
The FAA not knowing about this is not plausible. Everybody knew that. It was a major criticism on the FAA ability to control air safety.

Related to the topic, a programming game with really hard recursion puzzles: http://robozzle.com
Yeah, every time I've written I recursive algorithm in the past, I've eventually had to come back and reimplement it as iterative. It's such that I no longer start the recursive approach anymore and go straight to iterative.

The iterative solution is better in every regard. The state transitions are easier to see, and the sub procedures are easier to identify and split up, if necessary.

I have a degree in Computer Science, I did extremely well in that degree program, and I understand algorithms very well. I don't get the fascination with recursion in CS theory. It's just hiding state on the stack frame. That's why it's such a terrible tool, not just for engineering, but for teaching as well. Every recursive solution has an iterative solution, even if it's just tossing your state into a Stack data structure you manage yourself on the heap. You'd think you'd want to call that out for students.

I think creating a simple programming language that supports recursion is a good way to get better.

I did so in one of my side projects that I have recently released as an iOS and macOS puzzle game named "Recursive" where recursion plays a central role and allows solving levels with very short programs [0].

Also, I may be biased, but I think that players can improve their mastery of recursion using the game.

If you'd like you can contact me and I will gladly send you a promo code (contact email at website).

Yes, Amazon already offer a Sidewalk SDK as part of AWS IoT offerings. I didn't even think about the cost angle, which is a really interesting point (although, I think ISPs have an argument against the Amazon devices here still as it's effectively connection sharing, which they also usually ban in ToS). My consideration was just for the customer sales pitch, which is "your IoT devices Just Work magically."

Because western society is not currently colour-blind, in a very particular direction! That was the point of the seesaw metaphor: not to say that race is one straight line with black at one end and white at the other, but to say that if you want people to have equal opportunities regardless of their race then you have to help the people who are currently at a disadvantage.

Rust's tools are better for common cases, but C++ has the vastly superior set of libraries: GPU, embedded, robotics, desktop, mobile, etc.

I recommend watching CppCon and being amazed at how much work is going into the C++ ecosystem right now. Rust is popular in some circles but the programming world is extremely big.

I'm not intending to defend Amazon but as a general statement about ISM bands: there are regulatory limits (output power, duty cycle, etc) on these bands. The output power limits are meant to limit the propagation distances from isotropic radiators.

So for Amazon's (or any) system to swamp the ISM band(s) they would need to absolutely saturate an area with their radios. That would end up running at cross purposes with their network since their own base stations and user devices would end up interfering with each other.

While I don't trust Amazon to do the "right" thing I do trust them not to step on their own toes.

This is from the Nature Physics article:

"we had worked out in detail the correspondences between linear utility and additive dynamics; and between logarithmic utility and multiplicative dynamics"

From "The time resolution of the St Petersburg paradox":

"the time-average performance of the lottery is computed. The final result can be phrased mathematically identically to Daniel Bernoulli's resolution, which uses logarithmic utility"

"Equation (6.10) is mathematically equivalent to Bernoulli's use of logarithmic utility."
I don't see this solving anything. Paid work involves a meeting of the minds between the buyer and the person doing the work. This is why e.g. busking is not work, it is dressed up begging, regardless of whether the performers consider themselves to be working.

All the examples are tail recursive, which is exactly equivalent to looping. All you're going to achieve by doing this is to get an inaccurate understanding of what recursion actually is.

Practicing working with true recursion would involve algorithms that are not tail-recursive, such as tree traversal.

This isn’t different than when flying any other aircraft. Something can already fail at any moment from the engines, avionics, control systems, hydraulics, and electrical systems. That’s why pilots have emergency training and emergency checklists. The question is whether Boeing is providing the appropriate training to deal with new potential failures introduced by the new design.
Run at 50F weather and get your lungs acclimated to slightly chilly temps. For me, it takes a week or two to get used to even 50F.

Then, once your lungs are used to that, 40F and 30F are next.

I never went below that this past winter. But lung cold weather training definitely exists. Your body really does adapt if you give it the few weeks it needs.

No, you couldn’t.

It has to keep working for years/decades, be maintainable, survive bad weather conditions, etc. even if you made the scoreboard out of wood and painted it, it would have to be large enough so that the stadium could see, the paint would fade and it would take weeks to make it, etc.
In this day and age, you should not login to anything from someone else's PC.

There are a lot of occupations where you don't have your own computer, and share one with many other people.

For many jobs, the value is not in the person, but in the position, so the position has a single computer for a function that multiple people fill. Especially if you work for a company that operates 24/7.

For example, each person person operating a control computer at a recycling station does not have his own computer. There is a computer for each position, and who mans that position will change from day to day.

Freight dispatchers, retail sales, customer service, airline operations, and many broadcast positions are in the same boat.

Imagine how big an airline ticketing counter would have to be if "In this day and age, you should not login to anything from someone else's PC" was reality.

This is a great writeup about how to make good use of comptime and how it can occasionally blow out of the water more complex type systems.

Of course duck typing all the things is not great in complex projects so it's a matter of finding a balance and not abusing metaprogramming when it's not needed, but that's a social problem that in my opinion should be solved primarily by having a good culture around the feature, similarly to how Go has an amazing culture around interfaces.

That's not quite what it says. Rather, his prospects for gigs involving FAA interaction from the other side:

Now sharing his concerns with the press for the first time, he’s risking his post-FAA employment prospects.

After retiring from the FAA, Jacobsen hopes to work part-time.

Someone with his credentials would typically find lots of lucrative freelance work at smaller aerospace companies who need help navigating the maze of FAA regulatory compliance to certify their products.

Now, he may struggle to get such gigs if he’s perceived as an antagonist of the agency.

“I recognize this could cost me future employment opportunities,” Jacobsen said. “But I feel like my allegiance right now is to these families.”

Netlify CMS is nice, and despite the name it works completely independenly of using Netlify as the host: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/intro/ I won't lie though it is very akward to setup and use if you aren't using Netlify--documentation is extremely thin, and it's a beta phase feature to selfhost. But it is a really nice and simple editor view that non-technical people could use. This is where the (very thin) documentation for self hosting it outside Netlify starts: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#working-with-...

Another good one is Jekyll Admin: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-admin It's not as nice as wordpress but gets the job done for a basic markdown focused site. Selfhosting it is a lot easier and more documented than Netlify CMS.

It's obviously true.

Let's say there is a lottery L, it has a million tickets $1 each, it pays out 1 million and 1 dollars on the winning ticket.

Should you buy a ticket?

EE says no.
EV says yes since it has a positive EV.

EE says no because in 99.999999% of cases you lose $1.

EV says yes because you share the 1 million and 1 dollars out in equal portions with versions of you living in a million parallel universes, one of which won.

I hope that clears this up for you.

The claim being made is that U is a hack.

When you set U = log (Wealth), EUT gives the same result as EE. When you set U to any other function EUT gives bad answers.

EE has it's own set of functions that take place of U in EUT and all of those functions give the right result whereas EUT only gives the right result when you set U = log (Wealth)

The universal convention is: b = bits, B = bytes. I see errors only rarely, and they’re almost always when people write Mb or Gb instead of MB or GB (just MB, not MB per second or such). It also fascinates me how we conventionally write Mbps (with a p), but MB/s (with a /).

This sounds like the Italian digital ID: required by the government, managed by multiple companies. It’s called SPID.

It’s usually free, but there’s also certified email (PEC) that costs from 5€ to 30€ per year. Also required by the government in some cases and also offered by a small number of companies.

Does Estonia offer their digital IDs directly?
IP breaks but there are way to workaround if layer 4 allows. Unfortunately TCP also breaks. UDP allow a workaround over that. So MOSH(SSH) and QUIC(HTTP/3) can deal with this due basically due to having nachnism to handle it and also they are UDP. Also both have some kind of cryptography layer such as SSH or TLS so prob that is use to handle it.

> the OS will generally move things around to accommodate you as necessary

Because this isn't accurate performance goes to hell when applications contend for ram. If you haven't noticed it you probably have enough ram to not have that issue not because your OS "moved stuff around" at least on windows/linux I have never owned a mac.

I agree that 20MB baseline for a gui app is fine.
Considering Intel's pretty poor performance improvements over the last 10 years, your 7 y/o laptop is actually pretty fast. People are still using their 2015 MacBook Pros as their main machines.

Did you try loading a 50MB CSV (or similar) into VS Code? It just seems fast but it's actually pretty slow but hidden by the raw power.

Especially anything doing code analysis or typing hints is moving at glacial speeds compared to native or Java-based editors/IDEs. You just don't notice it because you probably either never experienced it or forgot how fast it can be. Everytime I have to use VS Code instead of Visual Studio, I slow down my typing because I need to wait for VSC to show me the hints.

I've discussed this topic with several economics professors, thank you very much.
We use 6 digit codes via email for passwordless. The login links typically just have a code parameter anyhow, and at least Auth0 allows for both. We opted for codes vs links because links add all kinds of session-based issue across browsers and devices. People are able to login on desktop with a code they read in their mobile email, etc.

As others have noted, passwordless does hinge on email deliverability and that hasn't been easy to nail. That said, almost all login flows tend to rely on email delivery for both verification and password resets.

For those used to the convenience of password managers, its an extra step that can add friction. Longer sessions help.
The thing that should really be discussed is that given the full regulatory capture of the FAA over the last 20 years, how many other such hidden timebombs exist in the complex software systems in aircraft.

As a software tester, it's actually fairly amazing to me that planes these days don't fall from the skies every day.
"Criminal hackers have been known to hack each other, but is that what is happening here?"

"KrebsOnSecurity reports that the intruder subsequently dumped the stolen data on the dark web."

If Law Enforcement people are after them they wouldn't do this they would simply seize the website and put notification on website's front page so it seems like rival group hacked them or simply whitehat hackers.

Some of this cybercrime forums are running for more than a decade so no wonder they have attention and problems with Law and cyber criminals alike.

It's forcing you to centralize your access to a single account, which sounds bad, but at the same time it's always been that way since most services provide a "forgot password" feature.
