To augment the suggestion around learning / using hot-keys, ctrl-shift-t (chrome) undoes the most recent tab or browser window close. It's insanely handy, but from casual observation, not well known / used.

If you have a mouse with some additional side buttons (that you don't already have mapped) I can strongly recommend mapping them to ctrl-pgup and ctrl-pgdn, so you can go left/right with your tabs in the current browser without having to relocate either your hands or your mouse pointer. Because I tend to open many links to new tabs (middle-click) - a consequence of living in a country (Australia) with poor internet speeds - I'm now lost whenever I have to use a mouse without those buttons.

Watching people use the mouse to go to the hamburger menu to recover a just-closed-tab, or to the tab bar to switch between tabs, or moving the mouse to the scrollbar to move the content up/down, is the contemporary equivalent of watching someone play Solitaire intentionally poorly.

It's a little awkward when as of today (and has been for years), Tesla on its website has wording around FSD saying "The driver is only in the seat for legal purposes. The vehicle doesn't require it."
I personally have had the car I was driving catch fire spontaneously. Once I was inside, once nearby. Funny thing, same car, different causes.
That is the true sign of product market fit.
This is the conversation that needs to be had. Re-allocation of city resources towards non-violent, non-militarized civil society groups. Unfortunately, in our soundbite driven world, we got "Defund the police", which kills the conversation dead.
So what's the conclusion here? Who needs to do the double check? The coroner, because the event did not happen thus the passengers are alive and stationary due to lack of a driver or the fire department because there's a driver on the drivers seat but they missed it?
My bet would be on “Level 3 credit card data” being sold and insufficiently anonymized
A good name has maximal information density. If the string is compressible, you're wasting your reader's time. That's why I use all utf-8 glyphs to render my uniformly random and highly informative (from an information theory standpoint) variable names.
The issue really is: Google isn't phasing our 3rd party cookies out of charity. They are clearly looking for a way to keep doing all the things third-party cookies enable after they go away.

Here we find people saying (through legislative and regulatory action) that they want to end the use of 3rd party cookies because the bad behaviors they enable, and they are rightly outraged at the efforts to comply with the letter of the law while running roughshod over the intent of the laws.
Because there is no evidence of such a third person.

If there was a third person, why not a fourth, and a fifth, and a sixth? Or a dozen, or two? It would also be far from the first time that a troupe of clowns fit in a too-small car.

Wow, someone would think smart cars would be smart enough to detect if someone is in the driver seat.

In case of the article's Tesla, they must have put some weight into the drivers seat or the owner has somehow hacked the weight sensor.

Do you have a working prototype? In which language is it written?

This are the two more important questions for anyone that is interested in contributing.

After a few searches in Google: JavaScript.

[You have a typo in the page, it says Linux KernAl.]

Plain JavaScript? Node? TypeScript?

> Live streaming capabilities...

Are these features already implemented or it is a wish list?

That part is very weird. New contributors usually get a small role in the project, until they show that are technically capable and can interact with the rest of the team.

Why?
This implies your code has fewer than 2¹²² variables. A real coder should have more than that in each method. Sounds like you're basically a glorified VB "dev."
I'm amazed that people use the console for anything other than discovery. Any heavy lifting you want the AWS CLI or CloudFormation.

Yep, so stay downtown! Chances are rents are going to go down as a bunch of people empty out, so you can likely pick up some more space and/or access to a co-working space post-COVID pretty cheaply.

People like me in the city proper because I have to commute to downtown, but otherwise have no desire to be in the city will move further out to one of the substantially sized suburbs that meet all my needs besides work and never come back.

People downtown that want to be nearby and have access, but don't necessarily feel the need for living upstairs from their favourite bar will take my place, and on and on.

Instead of density having to concentrate in a few small few areas, it can disperse and even out and I find it hard to not see that as being to pretty much everyone's benefit.
For a similar relay/proxy setup for development, I've found that a metadata endpoint emulation like provided in aws-vault can make it easier to have any AWS SDK calls behave the same way as they would in AWS itself. You do have to assume the role that the lambda itself would normally assume and you have to allow more than just service linked execution, but you do get to test the whole IAM chain that way as well.
Removed two emulators (briefly), opened up my eyes to possibilities.
Agreed! The outcomes of government are what matter to me. Many of the outcomes I expect like infrastructure, healthcare and education, take a lot of work to deliver. If the government is large to support these then so be it.

I'd also suggest that as the world gets more complex, governments should be getting larger. There are more facets to society that need understanding and regulating these days. I'd be alarmed if a government was shrinking under the conditions of population growth and high levels of technological advancement as that would suggest to me a dereliction of duty
"He seemed absolutely convinced that PRISM was a big story, which anybody with a fifth grade reading ability could tell was a non-story."

What do you mean by this? I read the article, or at least skimmed it. Is it because everyone siphons everyone's data and the fact that the gov is doing it is unremarkable?

If he was a Russian asset, wouldn't it be smarter to keep working within the NSA and leak the knowledge/tech to them?

Now you might next claim he was probably doing that and he fled as he was about to be caught by the NSA, but if they had suspicions of espionage and was about to arrest him, they would've gone to the press, that a (suspected) Russian mole had escaped and shown their evidence...
Thought the exact thing the first time I saw one in a Chicago full service parking garage. And they had very stern signs about being for employees only. So ya that’s likely how they solve the liability problem. But man they looked really cool. So wanted to try it out ;)
Problem was, real world programming in Lisp was not simple.
The reasonable explanation I've read elsewhere is:

> In many countries it wouldn't have been allowed to fire him.

I'm in one of these countries. If they have a cause that cannot be legally used to terminate an employee, they just look long and hard for any other misdemeanors and fire them as fast as they gather any plausible "evidence". Creative types can also actively put an employee into a checkmate, i.e. a position where no move or any move is a fireable offense.

In this case it could be as simple as identifying any part of that email as a defamation.
The problem is that, once that policy becomes known, bad actors will abuse it, and go in multiple times, steal $13.99 of products, in the knowledge they won't get stopped.
We operate a serverless infrastructure (lambda + dynamodb) at secapps.com with a super small team, and we could not be any happier. Mind you, currently, we have over 30 services (not microservices but products we sell to clients) and well over 30 applications.

While you should take my comment with a grain of salt, for me it is a live testament that the serverless development paradigm works.

That being said, I also believe that it depends on how exactly you work and develop products/features. That is probably more important than the technological approach used. We have some very strict mental model about lambda which do not quite fit the mental model used for microservices.
In defense of mathematicians, having conventional single letter variable makes stuff a lot easier to read.

For example in graph algorithms, I used to write descriptive names like:

weight = adjacenyMatrix[node][neighbor]

Nowadays I write it as:

w = G[u][v]

Because in graph theory, an edge is usually (u, v), weight is usually w, graph is usually G, etc.

It's basically the same reason why people don't name their indices "index" and instead use "i", "j", "k". And instead of point.first and point.second, you use point.x and point.y.

Naming conventions are awesome when people can agree on them.
This theory fails to explain the accompanying details of the incidence. The objects were also observed by Navy personnel and estimated to be hovering above the USS Russell at an elevation of 700ft. Plus the assertion that the US Navy can't differentiate between a star and an aircraft is or is not able to identify a 747 is a reach, especially considering there was an official Navy inquiry into the incidence.
And why would you make a big deal about it being the first computer from Apple (let's forget the II and Lisa for the moment) and not build the original Mac rather than a Mac+? (no beige legos?)
I suspect if the news article was linked to directly, we wouldn’t be having this specific discussion. But even the source article provides no support for the argument that Congress acted with malice towards the innocent.
Rickrolling
I've been thinking about self-replication for several years. You basically need a robot arm, a small foundery, the spining part of a lathe, a rolling mill to make metal sheet and copper cable. Some way to coat the copper cable (Don't remember) You can use the foundery to produce silicon carbide and graphite. You need a 2d motion system to move the robot arm (maybe 2). You need a system to expend the volume of the machine so that a machine can give birth to another machine. You can bootstrap from that. Initialy photolithography will not be include since you can buy something similar to a rasberry pi for like 2 $. Eventually the more you bootstrap you can create self-replicating factory like machines that can output entire cars from input code.

To fetch the raw materials you should use a form of symbiosis. I assume the raw materials are iron, silicon, carbon, copper, (Rasberry pi lol)

Just contact me If you got time/money to do that I will give you 3d sketches.

Also there is another process you might want to implement if you want to make solar panels. Personally I would just plug it on the grid (for earth based usage)

After that its mostly a job of good programming you want the part you created without new processes (ex: photolithography) to still work after the bootstrap process.
Thanks, dang, for being reliable like clockwork.
With interest rates having nowhere to go but up, look for the government to introduce the fifty year mortgage in order to keep the party going.
Your proposed tax could be based on a "housing pressure index", basically squarefeet of livable space per person or people per squarefoot. This index would measure if there are lots of families living in cramped conditions or people living with room mates.

If housing pressure is too high, tax corporations more.
A wall of text that's full of something interesting and useful is way more welcome than someone trying to do a funny reddit quip! Thanks!

We have the ability to spin up one-off environments per-project, including our serverless stuff - and we do it automatically on every CI run - so I guess the answer is to do that, and test against that.
Yep. If he was truly a whistleblower he would have only released information about surveillance against Americans.
Do you think it woukd be better if we were still billed by the kilobyte used? A pay per use or monthly quota would outright discourage curiosity and add in another mental fatigue of tracking costs. Keeping information access gated behind wealth would not be an improvement. Those very real costs outweigh the vague theoretical and frankly some psychologically self-inflicted ones. Your data being monetized by others is not an intrinsic harm. Be wary of abuses but use isn't always a harm. Somebody doing a traffic survey may make money from your data but that does not make you poorer.

if the place is looking at software devs as a kind of human resource, then legerdemain/grandparent poster is right, if they are looking for co-founders then Kranar/parent poster is right. i have worked mainly for bigger firms, where legerdemain seems to be correct.

The practicality of this advise also depends on the situation of the job seeker: if you are looking for a job to pay your bills, then you will probably not try ask too many questions, for fear of giving the appearance of being 'difficult to work with'.

however the questions in the article are very thoughtful ones, i think that this article teaches how to ask good questions, that's also important.
There were two people in the car. That's plenty to crash the car. The question is "how" but for that we don't need a third person, especially when we have no evidence of such a third person.
IIRC, for PostScript development, you got two Adobe books -- the "red book" reference, and the "blue book" tutorial and cookbook.

(I vaguely recall getting both of these Adobe PS books bundled by Sun for NeWS or OpenWindows development, maybe together with the traditional white&green Sun binders and/or the O'Reilly X books.)

I learned enough from the Adobe blue book to do some snazzy printing. (HP PCL for non-PS LaserJets, which I also did, wasn't as cool.) IMHO, PS was a lot of fun, and a good way to be exposed to stack-based programming. (Forth also looks like it'd be fun, but PS had the visual construction aspect.)

Looks like the blue book is available at: http://www-cdf.fnal.gov/offline/PostScript/BLUEBOOK.PDF

There's a public set of first responder guides with detailed diagrams for every make and model available.

deal with inefficient meeting culture

Use an auto-transcription service. If presence is required, try to get a real time system going and flag keywords. That way you can alternate task your way to the important bits without dedicated mental bandwidth. The nice thing about this is you just need the system audio feed, muted, as the input which by definition works with all conferencing platforms.
Those interventions are to get somewhere faster, not to avoid a collision. If anything, such interventions tend to increase the risk of collision, not decrease it. Training autopilot to behave more like humans in those situations would make it less safe, not more.

The simple answer is we don't. I've never even considered deployment time as a base metric, and I guess it's equally surprising to me that that's an issue. The fact that we can do all of our testing locally means that we rarely have to do the "log and redeploy" dance that the OP was referring to.
I think that these differences could be enough.

I've used dbeaver which gets the job done but could benefit from better UI and a web interface. Another of a web app is if a few people can configure everything for the rest of the team(s). If there's a lot of databases and onboarding it can be a chore.

I have the opposite problem. I run windows 7 on a low-end piece of hardware just for a home built arcade machine running emulators. It needs windows to drive the front end software (Hyperspin). Trying to run this on Windows 10 is a nightmare. The disk activity on win 10 is horrendously and slow, plus Hyperspin doesn't natively run on 10.

I had to reinstall win7 on that system recently, and it absolutely refuses to do the online registration for it even though it's a valid (MSDN) license key. I think maybe they took the servers down or something because I get a comms error. So now after 30 days it keeps popping up a dialog box every 10 minutes saying that "I may be the victim of counterfeiting". How helpful of them.

I still don't have a solution for this so if anyone has an answer I'd be glad to hear it.
Subsidies for historic populations without price controls would be a windfall for landlords

This is specifically addressed in the introduction to The Affordable City, and is why "Supply, Stability, and Subsidy" are a three-point policy.

Without supply, yes, subsidies are swallowed up by landlords, and stability (tenants' rights measures) benefit a small minority. Without subsidy, those temporarily or permanently disadvantaged still lack housing or assurance of it. And without stability, tenants remain at risk of being abused by landlords.

(If this sounds like "please read the book", it's because it is. I'm not yet sold, but the proposals seem far-better fledged than most I've seen.)

As someone who knows sex workers, has done sex work, attends sex parties, etc, I have never heard the term "unconditional consent" and to me it sounds pretty problematic.

You sound hyper-defensive and I can only imagine you have some issues with sex/sexuality (as we all do) and I suggest you do some introspection instead of accusing strangers of being sex offenders.

Also, you did not answer my question. Just narrowly defining "sex act" is a cop out since we all know different people have different ideas of what constitutes a sex act.

Believe me, if someone asks for you to show them your feet in an explicitly sexual way, it absolutely feels like a sex act even though no genitals are involved.
