>> In those scenarios, "intention" doesn't matter, and the driver fucked up and cause the crash and should be held accountable/responsible. There's no wriggle room there for reducing the responsibility by saying "accidents happen, it wasn't my fault..." There was no "accident", there was a fuckup on someone's part.

Intention absolutely always matters. People often do drive through lights unintentionally. If that is a proximate cause of an accident they are punished for negligence, not murder. Even intentionally driving through a light is a form of negligence. The only intentional crashes happen where people use the vehicle as a weapon[1]. If you deliberately run someone down you are a murderer, whether you broke any traffic laws while doing so is irrelevant. If you kill your wife by deliberately crashing into her, the cops aren't going to write you a speeding ticket while they read you your rights.

[1] There are also rare cases where crashes are deliberately caused by non-drivers. A crash resulting from someone icing a road, throwing a brick at a car from an overpass, or tampering with a vehicle are deliberate crashes even though the driver(s) involved are not at fault. But if the road is icy because of something like a broken water line, it is very possible for nobody to be responsible: a truly blameless accident.
While there is some software capable of using postscript as a serialization format (eg Xcircuit, I'm not sure how it does it but my guess is that the side affect of some of the functions is to create drawing elements) that would be way harder to work with. Think about all the problems Javascript creates, now imagine dealing with them is necessary just to extract the page content. No thank you, I've written simple HTML parsers/DOMs in ~300 LoC and that would be way harder with something turing complete.

I like a lot of things. Most of them don't need to be legally enforced by the government. I just freely choose the things I like and people who like differently choose differently.

Why does one specific form of housing need to be legally required instead of just letting people build the type of housing that they want?
This should be upvoted to the top of the discussion. The article never makes a suggestion for what should replace nanometers as the node name. This is a great suggestion: million transisters per square millimeter.
It’s a C++ project for an embedded device, so my comment was more a reflection on build times in general rather than being Rust related.
Many "broken" electronics have fixes as simple as this. There are a lot of cheap kits on Ali Express to practice solder if its something you'd find interesting. One of the benefits of YouTube is the depth of videos featuring diagnosis and fixing of obscure issues on rare hardware.

It's hard to emphasize this enough but the MacBook trackpad is so good that even when I have a mouse attached to the laptop, I use the trackpad.

The gestures are indispensable for my workflow. Excluding the touchbar, the entire workflow is far more ergonomic than anything I have seen on the market.

I sincerely wish someone would exactly clone the MacBook pro 13 and leave it as an open platform for whatever OS you want to run.
Because it’s interesting and intent matters. Maybe you’re being too sensitive, and too vicariously sensitive, about a fact that’s obviously stand-out interesting.
A lot of publishing houses, even large ones, won't let you use a pseudonym since they lean heavily on the author generating their own buzz and publicity for the book.

There was also an infamous incident recently in which an editor used a pseudonym to hide their relation to various publishers who in turn helped bid up the price for the manuscript. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/02/11/a-suspense-nov...
Cool, then let the government do it. Your "rent" can even build equity in such a scheme.
What's upsetting is that these organizations are given exclusive use of something that is essentially public (certain electronic sounds in the air) and they were very careless with it. It has nothing to do with Huawei and everything to do with KPN (and most other telcos) being negligent.
This is the biggest difference. Just not a constant stress of keeping up to ensure survival and fulfilment for the family. Now I wonder how best to allocate time and capital, and I have not come up with good answers yet, so I'm still working until I have a better answer. So really all that has changed is mental space has less stress, and I have a much more appropriate family car.
This is top-notch and very impressive work. I'm currently in the middle of tuning performance of piet-gpu for the Pixel 4[1], and I find myself relying on similar open resources from the Freedreno project. When the time comes to get this running efficiently on M1, having detailed knowledge of the hardware will be similarly invaluable - just the info on registers and occupancy is an important start.

Is there a way to support the work?

Thanks for your response, and for the link. I believe in my parent comment I was conflating your article and the FusionAuth site as a whole. The best way to protect customer data is to not store it in the first place. For some use cases, federated identity can be perfect for this because you are explicitly delegating the storage of many (most) forms of PII to an external provider — usually one of the user’s choosing. Now the problem becomes one of implementing authorization (i.e. an authorization server or security token service) directly on top of federated IdPs.

By the way, I appreciate your humility in your response. It reminds me that I need to do more of that.

Hmm, In my experience, trying to stop a sufficiently motivated 'kid' is an exercise in futility. Here are some possible scenarios, in decreasing order of plausiblity:

1. At the surface level, you have to assume that the password mechanism is secure. I'm sure many of us remember the Windows 95 login, for instance.

2. But even making the assumption that the password is secure, social engineering will typically work against the parent.

3. Even if the parent is cautious, one can bypass Edge Kids Mode by simply not using Edge.

4. Even if no other browser is installed, this can be bypassed by copying a portable version from a friends.

5. Say the parent blacklists certain executables via GPedit. Typically, renaming the executable to a whitelisted one (e.g. calc.exe) will suffice.

6. Suppose the parent chooses to enable S mode, so that only Edge and UWP packages from the Microsoft Store can be enabled. The child creates a Linux live USB (at a friends house) and modifies the Windows filesystem directly (or ignores it entirely).

7. What if USB is disabled in BIOS, and the parent enables a BIOS password, and Windows has full disk encryption enabled? Disconnect the CMOS battery for a bit, I guess?

8. Say the parent gives up, welds the device shut, and cancels the internet service. Can't browse the Inter-webs without internet service, right? Wrong. Go to the friend's/neighbor's/public library and do it anyway.

In summary, Kids Mode is about as effective as transparent schoolbags or the Great Firewall. You are probably better of finding something interesting and productive for the kid to do (not to say learning to abuse poor infosec is a waste of time), so that they have better things to do than explore double-plus-ungood web sites.
I believe they're implying that a volunteer department had a very high end truck and didn't really use it much, and it was later inherited by a non-volunteer department.

I totally agree with your argument.

But playing the role of the devil's advocate here one might argue that the major benefit of autopilots is that the data will be accumulated to the set of happened accidents, so that they don't happen again in future.

When comparing accidents of manual vs automated driving, manual cases don't have any learning effect (let alone communication of it and availability of that to other human drivers). Automated driving on the other hand has the theoretical benefit, if it's openly shared, that all edge cases of untrained accidents go asymptotically to zero over time.

But in order to achieve that there must be a law that enforces the use of the same dataset, and that defines this dataset as public domain so that all autopilots can learn from that knowledge.

This was actually my initial hope for OpenAI. And oh boi have I been disappointed there. Nothing changed when it comes to reproducability of training or availability of datasets, and most research of OpenAI seems to be spent on proprietary concepts.

To be fair at some point employers gotta take the risk, generate metrics, and share them. Innovation of Moocs/learners to career can only be robustly evaluated if someone actually gives them a chance and has performance data.
The greatest irony is they're just another throwback to Platonic thinking, and completely---I mean truly---worthless in practical application (i.e real life, vs. academic theory).

People organize themselves in "capitalistic," "socialistic," and even "anarchistic" manners depending on the context, and level of scale (informal, local, global, etc.); many times even pushing one way, then the other; and finally ending with a mix that would be foolish to arbitrarily try and separate, much less "categorize" (what has that ever achieved, but some wishy-washy "more accurate communication?").

Politics is basically the human drama over power, in its rawest form. Everything else is a derivative of this drama.

An interesting aside: the "every programmer thinks every problem can be solved with more tech" extends to other areas, viz. economics, "political science"/geopolitics, etc.

All problems are people problems; and most people problems are power problems (which themselves are super-ordinate to ego problems).
The phrasing seems very slightly different than natural (for a native English speaker).

For example: "2003, the twin elevator changed the industry. Two cabins, independently in one shaft."

To me, it's just slightly weird to say "independently" without a specific action. It reads like what the cabins are doing independently is... just being. I think a native speaker would be more likely to say, "Two cabins moving independently in one shaft." Then the adverb has a verb to modify.
Cooling with Liquid nitrogen is in some ways simpler than a refrigerator cycle since it’s completely impractical to compress & recondense it. A cryogenic cooling system usually just vents the gas into the room, it may just be a little well around the part which gets filled with ln2 from a dewar.
The cost is absolutely not prohibitive, it's about $1-2/sq ft in a new home or $5-6/sq ft if you're retrofitting an old home[1]. For a new 2000 sq ft house that would be around $4000 dollars. Probably <1% of the overall house value given recent housing prices.

Thanks. But i am still curious to know how does ESPN gets all the schedule for all sports in their persistence store? Does NFL, NBA, IPL or other sports league provide them with APIs to fetch data or does ESPN too has web scraping scripts that goes after NBA/NFL/MLB websites to get the data they need or do they have people actually doing manual data entry for all of this information via some UI into their own database?
Current flu vaccines don't work very well in old people, due to their weakening immune systems. There is now a high dose inactivated flu vaccine available in the US that also contains adjuvent to partially address this issue[0], but an mRNA flu vaccine would probably help even more. In theory, I think it would be preferable if each person over 55 would receive one dose of the current high dose vaccine in October of each year and be given a silicone P100 respirator, and then be given a booster in December.

I've never had much luck permanently fixing either rotary encoders or potentiometers, a cleaning and relube has only ever restored function briefly.

On the other hand, I can't remember encountering a worn-out optical rotary encoder - can they even wear out?
You're getting really into the weeds on a broader point. Suppose we give a new driver their license - but they've never driven before. Technically they have a perfect driving record. Even 1 or 2 hours in on road, still a perfect driving record.

Most student drivers in fact will have in fact, completely perfect driving records. That accidents happen is irrelevant - just think - those stats for the first couple of months probably look spectacular compared to the normal population.

The original comparison is all about this use of a biased dataset to draw an invalid conclusion. Except with student drivers we know that actually we shouldn't trust that conclusion, because in practice they have an insufficient amount of experience and have not likely dealt with many challenging road situations.

With Tesla, it's the same sort of problem.

I'm not even so much complaining about GNOME, which these days has actually reverted to something much closer to a classical desktop metaphor that is equally suitable for technical users and noobs...

But every other group of people with a new GUI idea that thinks "Nope, we're gonna reinvent the wheel and make a new weird GUI just because". Linux on desktop is already what, 1% to a max of 2% of desktop market share world wide? And then you have people building weird stuff on top of xorg or wayland that is used by one percent of that one percent just for the sake of being different.

If it's intended and promoted for technically sophisticated users to play around with? Sure, great idea I suppose, the more the merrier. But so many of these concepts are pushed as a "better, easier to use, more user friendly for noobs" GUI, when in fact all it does is split the market and confuse the end user. In particular I'm thinking of the various efforts that have been made to clone the MacOS user interface, including the Dock.

I should note that my opinion above also applies to Windows 8/8.1, which was clearly a misstep, as evidenced by Microsoft returning to a much more classic desktop environment design for Windows 10. At least they acknowledged what went wrong and backed away from it.

Sort of like a GUI version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsFzc0wAtFs

This looks great, but for a new form-factor, why put the USB-C PD power port on another side than the other USB/Ethernet side?

The Raspberry Pi is a great device at any price point, but the biggest fault, in my opinion, is that there are critical ports on all four sides, which means cables snaking out of it on three of the four sides, and SD card access on the fourth. Moving the power to the same side as the USB/Network would improve packaging considerably.

You need to onboard a sales/marketing person. Someone with a few years experience in business software sales. Will the sales increase be enough to pay for the new person is not a given but you have probably reached a point that for growth you need marketing. No matter how good a software is and how much the end user likes it you will need a sales guy to get it pass the purchase department.

I had already looked at your profile so I am aware of your credentials.

In the original comment I mention my project and point to resources for learning more. I don't know why you think I am "weasel-wording, pussyfooting or hand-waving" when what is in fact happening is that we are having this discussion in a place that is not exactly optimal for writing pages and pages of explanations but rather for high-level discussion (which is necessarily brief on details but may link to resources).

I will be the first to admit that what I am doing is not fully worked out yet. Then again you are familiar with research work so you know things take a while to become polished enough to stand up to the "surface level scrutiny" even if the ideas may have merit from the beginning. The fact that I am working in the open and engaging people like you in discussion should not be considered "weasel-wording" or whatever slur you come up with.

You claim I am contradicting myself yet you do not elaborate on how so. I have already given you the argument for why it is not a contradiction (global consensus happens eventually due to convergence and "lazy" in computer science is another way to say "demand driven" - i.e. we converge as much as we need to in each "neighbourhood" of the network, the sheaf reference should further enhance your mental image of what is going on).

If you want to go into details with me and discuss things more thoroughly then I suggest you join the datalisp channel on telegram. I would be happy to hear your criticism and try to understand better in which ways I may be lacking. After all, what we all want is better systems of governance and if you are intrigued by this approach (or rather; high level description of a possible approach) then from my point of view our interests are aligned.

E-mail is actually the opposite of what I was trying to talk about.

E-mail is the golden example on how not to solve this. It's unsecure, unvalidateable, unverifiable, exploitable and everything in between can block it or listen to it. And it uses another, unencrypted, transport protocol, which means it is not related to git at all.

The reason why GitHub exploded is the UX experience and the convenience that comes with it. But on the technical side there is no reason not to integrate those features into git itself (or git-web for that matter).
