A few things that would help this issue
1) a mobile-first IDE - app and responsive website (that you can share links to) with a great interface for mobile that makes use of strengths like touch screen, while getting round the weaknesses of screen size and lack of physical keyboard by not relying on typing out full words and not using the convention of having entire files open in a tab. (eg a single function or code block on screen at a time). Preferably with accounts you can use to log in from whichever device suits at any given point
2) games and other apps that are made to be "modded" that link to that IDE - modding is a big way that PC gamers get into coding these days, it's the art of making add-ons to games - if this where a common thing with mobile games and apps you wouldn't just have the PC gamer crowd modding
3) If programming and development communities where easier to find from a more diverse set of social networks, more people who enjoy expressing creativity with people, would find out that they can create this way as well
Yes, it makes it much less valuable, since anything of value you can produce is much harder to bring into our normal economy.

If we were talking about another planet in another solar system, you could have some arguments about long term survival, but otherwise the earth will at worse become as inhospitable as Mars, until the sun burns them both to a crisp at about the same time in a distant future.

You and I have different definitions of very high possibility.
My point is precisely that it wasn't "monumentally stupid," but rather a pretty reasonable decision given what the average person would expect bcrypt to provide functionally. The behavior I described is an unexpected landmine that people using bcrypt need to be aware of. There are likely others, though probably not enough that I would describe it as a minefield.

I would wager that most people reading this, if earnestly asked by a coworker "do you think it's fine for me to hash a password before passing it to bcrypt? I want to be able to support passwords over 72 characters and bcrypt truncates its input." would answer something along the lines of "I don't see how it could hurt" rather than "that's dangerous because a binary hash would result in a large portion of the passwords being hashed as an empty string"

The engineers that originally implemented and reviewed this were not idiots, they just weren't security experts.

>they only lose flexibility when compared with cars

Planes fly in more or less straight lines from source to destination, and adding a new route is just some paperwork and renting the terminal space. No multi-billion dollar investment to connect a new nearby or distant city.

>flexibility of busses is not the same as the flexibility of a bus

Again, he means the flexibility of adding new routes, not having the bus pick you up at your hotel.
The only people subsidizing my ER visits are myself and my employer. I'm in my early 30's, in good health, with no comorbidities. The chances I end up in the ER for covid are about as likely as ending up there for a blood clot in my brain.

This is my point: people are capable of making a cost/benefit analysis decision on their own. If you want to give them money, just give them money. Don't coerce them into making a healthcare decision that might not be right for them.
Proportionally more people buy lottery tickets when the jackpot is bigger, so in terms of driving vaccine adoption there's a good argument for concentrating the reward as much as possible.

All the sub-3lbs ultrabooks I've owned so far follow a similar design, the bottom of the laptop acts like a tray with the top half taken by the motherboard/heatpipe assembly and the bottom half being filled with battery.

There are differences in where the display/USB ribbon connectors are and speakers are always in strange places. Sometimes the bottom tray is tapered off like a MacBook Air. Some ultrabooks are 9mm thick and others are 11mm thick, but at that point, honestly who cares?

But in general, I don't see any reason why a 13" standard for laptop motherboards+heatpipe can't exist. Out of the XPS, HP, and Asus systems I've upgraded in the last 6ish years, they've all looked more or less the same but with annoying 1-2cm differences in ribbon connectors and screw placements.

If anything, standardization might lead to more efficient use of battery compartments. A lot of laptops seem to have empty air surrounding a commodity battery that could have been 55Wh instead of 42Wh if the space was used better.
Perverse incentives.

Also I don't know about you, but when I'm researching something I open a new window, and I middle click all the reasonable looking links on the search page.

My time with that tab open has nothing to do with that tab. It's mostly to do with the tabs chronologically before them, and whether I see something shiny that distracts me.
"Currently, only about one fourth of gas stations in North Carolina (where I am) are reporting that they have any gas." But this was mainly because of panic buying. The pipeline shutdown alone didn't suffice to cause the shortage.

Curious if it will triggers different kind of "Cobra Effect" -

https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-cobra-effect-a-new-frea...

MEHROTRA: So the “cobra effect” refers to a scheme in colonial India where the British governor, or whoever, the person in charge in Delhi, wanted to rid Delhi of cobras. Apparently in his opinion there were too many cobras in Delhi. So he had the bounty placed on cobras. And he expected this would solve the problem. But the population in Delhi, at least some of it, responded by farming cobras. And all of a sudden the administration was getting too many cobra skins. And they decided the scheme wasn’t as smart as initially it appeared and they rescinded the scheme. But by then the cobra farmers had this little population of cobras to deal with. And what do you do if there’s no market? You just release them. And so this significantly, by a few orders of magnitude, worsened the cobra menace in Delhi.
yeah, Google collects a lot of user data because they want to improve the quality of the applications they are making for the users.

Seriously I think this article could be easily adapted for the Onion.
Most of the money we originally spent was on creating content on our website and videos on YouTube (for Youtube/Google ads). Our money spent solely for advertisement (Google ads mainly) has actually been not that much, but the ads have been focused around where we are located, and most of our users are from this area also. I like your suggestion of getting out there to a dog park or something and talk to people. We have also talked to local shelters to use the app to post their adoptable pets, but they are not super into it because we don't have enough users.
Rebranding is probably a little hard, but also sounds like a good idea that I will think about more.

There was a mental perception that if you left just a "few" months from the yearly bonus payout, you were leaving money on the table. So people would normally leave in the spring and summer, but try to stick it out until the bonus if they were thinking about leaving in Oct. or later, since it was only 3 more months..
Guess pristine is subjective. I study surface processes on Mars so to me the planet is still alive and active. Things change, mysteries unfold, new environmental conditions come and go.
I am the one who asked the question and your response did not answer it. I am still not sure what your point is, are you saying Tesla should have no steering wheel check either?

It's fascinating watching the narratives unfold and affecting the price. Bitcoin is the bad guy today, until bitcoin holders just buy up the new liquidity and it starts going up again. Then the narrative will change again.
It's all about the rate of loss. If it's 1% per year, that's probably not going to work; if it's 0.0001%, that's a different matter altogether.

Earth’s magnetic field comes from consisting of a massive ball of molten iron surrounded by layers of rock, soil, and, ultimately, monkeys.

The critical component for the magnetic field (the molten iron ball) is hard to replicate.
I'm not good at implementing algorithms that directly relate to mathematical equations. I learned this from 1 year banging away at computational photography while in university and 2 years banging away at automated trading systems at one of my first jobs.

Given enough time I can copy other peoples implementations, but its extremely mechanistic to the point where you can't say that I actually 'wrote' it or learned anything. And it would be questionable if all the functionality would fit together as a succinctly as the posters.

I hope you don't think that is goal post moving, but if I do something mathematical in order to get it correct I have to sacrifice everything else: speed of production, efficiency of the end-product, readability of the code, etc. Compared to my output in logic problems or HCI, you'd think two entirely different people were involved and one was significantly smarter.

It's a failing (of the sort where asked "What is your biggest weakness?" at an interview, I can always answer immediately this), but it's what allows me to be impressed with work like an entire RTS game engine in C in just 3 years as a passion project.

And once these regular people decide in numbers that they are tired, miss their wives, and want to go home; it goes disastrously for the commanders who have planned otherwise. For a particularly famous example see Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.

I'm not equating size and efficiency. I'm saying a combination of the two represents the optimal outcome for everyone. In a permissive economy, large, inefficient companies are vulnerable to competition, and tend towards failure.
That's probably a problem on billion year scales. I wonder what the annual loss would be.

Well, my guess is that isn't only "standard" at the big FANG type companies (PayPal and other goliaths in the bay area included).

I could be wrong but, I don't think that's standard pay for the vast majority of software jobs in the bay area, whether it be at smaller startups or more old school traditional software companies.

Scientists Call for Deeper Investigation into Covid-19 Origin
CAHSR’s mainline is intended to be SF-LA via the Central Valley, and connect the major cities along the way. Some of those valley have around a 1m+ people or will grow to that over time, making them viable to connect. Think “pearls on a string.”

>Only if people routinely travel to those cities rather than further away cities.

They do. People naturally travel more to places closer to them than further away. There is a strong correlation here. When you’re hungry and want to go out, do you go to a food place 5-10 minutes away? Or a place hours away? Or 3 Michelin starred place on the other side of the planet.

The regions targeted for HSR often have significant auto traffic on the highways connecting them, and short haul flights between their airports. HSR hits a sweet spot for trips that are long drives and short flights. Cost and time competitive, while also being more comfortable.
Which is great until you lose access to your email.

The people who really distrust the vaccine will just think, "Gee, the same government that manipulated everyone into thinking they were all going to die is now manipulating them into thinking they'll win the lottery." This won't convince them, but it might appeal to the sense of greed of the ones who are just lazy and don't like mild side-effects.
Yes, you send a request to Apple's APIs and they will deliver a push notification. It's very simple really. Now there are a lot of wrappers around that (like courier.com) and instead of using Apple's API you know use the wrappers API. That also often requires some kind of 3rd party SDK to be integrated in your app.

These services are supposed to make things easier and have additional features like SMS notifications and so on, but, well not sure, never really used them myself.
andrew,

a language with first class cross-compilation alone is enough for me to respect you as a language designer and zig have so many features like this. i am a huge fan.

i have only one favourite feature in c++ and it is templates/ctfe. without the function/operator-overloading templates are incomplete, i would then use c instead. i am still using c++ with all its failures, with all its complexity, with all its uglyness|ineleganceonly because c++ got one thing right. you can at least somehow modify the language.

edit: i have to point out that i have never worked in a big team (more than 10) and you can (probably should) safely ignore my ideas/opinions.
This would only protect those without proper cyber security. Why is it acceptable to let random targets suffer as opposed to everyone without proper security?
A nuclear conflict would do it. You don’t even need that many nukes to kick up enough dust to doom us all
In the short term, perhaps, in the long term it's looking not so rosy, even for the apparently asymptomatic.
That's really likely to be true if you walk into the future believing it.

True, but what option will you choice:

1. Send trained 19-30 years old to risk there's life, minimum civilian casualties, but highest chance of combat casualties.

2. Bomb urban area out of existence, with massive civilian casualties, medium chance of combat casualties.

3. Send terminators with medium civilian causalities and 0 combat casualties.

I guess intelligence and military intelligence live in their own worlds and are above the laymen's world. Back in the 70s and 80s even most politicians didn't know about Gladio, regardless of their political stand (left or right). If you are not proved to be one of them, you won't even hear about it.
This is a very large gap, but as someone who has recently had four appraisals done in the space of 6 months (long story), I have had a swing of 40% from the highest to the lowest (in all cases house was unchanged, and appraiser saw me in person each time).

Appraisal is very difficult to do well, and different appraisers have different ideas about market trends (part of the reason for my wildly differing appraisals were different expectations for property appreciation in the neighborhood).

> In answer to this challenge, Dr. Jim Green – the Director of NASA's Planetary Science Division – and a panel of researchers presented an ambitious idea. In essence, they suggested that by positioning a magnetic dipole shield at the Mars L1 Lagrange Point, an artificial magnetosphere could be formed that would encompass the entire planet, thus shielding it from solar wind and radiation.
This is very timely as I downloaded that art bundle yesterday to make an icon for a new Mac app.

Can someone tell me how to use that Apple Photoshop template for app icons?
I've been using Photoshop since version 1.0, I understand layers etc, & I'm still baffled.

I get that when you save it generates all the sizes and puts them in a folder. That part works fine. I don't get how you are supposed to propagate your artwork from the 1024x1024 section to the other areas of the template. I don't think you have to do it manually.

I also don't see the ideal way to place your art inside the template roundrect - I'm currently selecting it with the magic wand and doing "paste into" which works, but doesn't seem ideal.
That resolution is so close to 2X! Why not just a little bit denser so that desktops can integer scale instead of 1.8x?

> The entire surface area of Mars is less than 5x that of Siberia plus the Sahara desert plus the Australian outback

This is such a weird statement. It's less than five times three very large areas combined... It leaves me with no idea how large it is. For those curious, it's about the same land surface area as earth has (removing oceans).
Many popular 'standards' needed someone like an Intel or an IBM to push it into the mainstream by adopting it and making it very popular. For design standards on the physical layout of components, individual component manufacturers stand to benefit the most because they can sell upgrades. The system integrator (HP/Dell/Etc) is unlikely to push for them as they want to just sell you a brand new device.
Its estimated Mars had at atmosphere for the first billion years. But loss is not linear. The less you have, the faster it's eroded.

So to rebuild it, might want to quickly get to a sustainable value before its blown away again? I favor crashing Saturn's icy asteroids into Mars to release gigatons of water vapor.
By that logic Firefox should drop gecko and adopt WebKit. It’s already maintained by a megacorp and isn’t blink.
Just do it, say "oops, turns out I was wrong about X". Apologize for inconvenience if its appropriate (if other people made plans or were mislead by it).

Here's what not to do:

* Enter into a (lengthy) explanation of why you thought you were right, because you heard it from X, or read it at Y, and go back to find and share your (wrong) sources of misinformation. ("I saw a documentary on how the moon landing was faked, and didn't realize that it was fabricated because the people in the documentary said it was true.")

* Explain that lots of people share the same (wrong) view, that it's a popular misconception or suchlike. ("Lots of people agree that the moon landing was faked, there are many books and TV programs about that.")

* Explain that, had certain other things happened differently, you would have been correct. ("When I said that COVID would never spread outside of China, I was assuming that the blockade in Wuhan was 100% effective.")

* Say that, while you were wrong in the current situation, your assertion would have been correct in various other situations. ("When I said object oriented languages don't allow multiple inheritance, I thought we were talking about Java and not C++").
Yeah, people definitely had them. Not advertised, but I'm sure for $1k you could get one.

Prior to the pandemic I had several boxes of n95/n99 which I bought years prior to manage California wildfire smoke. I donated most of them to local hospitals when they asked, but I always had a couple left in an opened box which they wouldn't take and I certainly would've sold them at a $1k price point if offered.

But, to be more clear, we're talking about reaching price equilibrium to manage demand, and the critique that wealthy people aren't limited by high prices. My argument is that things always have a price (if they're available at all, as you point out).

What I'd add is that the wealthy generally consume negligible amounts of resources in these types of scenarios. We didn't run out of masks because billionaires bought them all up. We didn't run out of gas because wealthy people are driving a lot. I think there's a fixation on fairness without stopping to consider whether the issue is particularly relevant.

Raising the prices changes the consumption behaviors for the majority, and that's what matters in terms of conservation.
Ironically, the best way to get such a treaty may be to have two or more countries with sufficiently advanced AI weapons that it becomes in each of their best interest to stop the others.
