So the millionaire that's spending $5,000 a week in rent and $50,000 a week to maintain his lifestyle—as it might be required by his job and expected by his peers—is working class?

Sorry, it's your definition that is wrong. "Working class" doesn't mean "category of people that work."

"When used non-academically in the United States, [...] it often refers to a section of society dependent on physical labour, especially when compensated with an hourly wage. For example, the working class is loosely defined as those without college degrees. Working-class occupations are then categorized into four groups: unskilled labourers, artisans, outworkers, and factory workers."

I run a service business that gets some clients from blog posts. While we're not in DS/ML, we're similarly technical and priced.

Content like blog posts usually don't close sales on their own. Most successful consultants get the most business early on through referrals, but blog posts can help widen the top of your funnel, showcase your expertise, or move people through to close.

We invested in content early, but didn't start seeing any leads or clients from it for six months, so it's not the channel I'd recommend for getting your first clients. That said, once you have some margin to invest in content, it's great because it's a passive source for inbound leads.
The (completely legitimate) anti-tracking measures built into AirTags means that they're not really viable for tracking things that have been stolen. Recent iOS devices will alert you fairly rapidly if you've got an AirTag that isn't registered nearby when the owner of that AirTag also isn't nearby. That means that if someone steals your wallet with an AirTag in it they're going to get alerted to the fact it's trackable within 30 minutes or so, and given instructions on how to disable the tag. Scanning the tag with any NFC capable device will also allow disabling it - I could definitely see professional pickpockets waving a phone over any wallets they take to kill tracking as soon as they can.
Nope. That's affirming the consequent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent
I like the ideas behind Deno, but I'm wondering if testing should be so included in the standard library, unless it is extremely flexible.

Each team will have different problems when it comes to scaling, running tests in parallel - sometimes on the same machine, sometimes on multiple machines, e2e tests vs unit-tests, etc. This looks like a problem you solve in a library, not something to add in the core.
key collisions in the chain unmask the nodes of the chain as far as who it is.

LEOs pay millions dollars yearly to have firms do this type of white hacking of using key collisions to unmask crypto coin users.

If you use Google you can find the more than 20 firms that offer their services to LEOs to do this.

Key size was based on number of users not number of transactions big mistake!

Isn't that sort of the point?

When I were a lad we referred to this sort of music as "ambient" music. A term coined by Brian Eno for his Ambient 1: Music for Airports album from 1978.

I think the quote was something like "as ignorable as it is interesting".

Both Aphex Twin and BoC are aiming for that space.

Npm together with the ergonomics of JavaScript/TypeScript is what keeps me in the Node.js ecosystem. Never understood the hate for a massive ecosystem of community build libraries that you can contribute to, fork or modify at will.
Interesting. But someone could break that law. So the law doesn't stop you from being stabbed.
I can't think of any circumstance where it wouldn't be in the individual contributors' best interests to tell each other exactly what they all make. If everyone on my teams shared their salaries with each other, it would lead to two things: a) some short-term bad blood and awkwardness, and b) some underpaid people getting raises or quitting. And I think my bosses, especially the old-school ones, consciously play up a) and treat salary as a giant taboo to avoid b).

A previous employer explicitly stated in their contract that disclosing your salary was a disciplinary offence!
No criminals involved in this kind of nefarious activities use Coinbase. The blockchain is all over the world and you can setup an exchange in your back yard if you wish, in middle of nowhere in Africa, for example. Good luck having Uncle Sam go there.
Amazing work, and I love how you have a focus on schools. My son's old school was adjacent to a major thoroughfare here in Melbourne, Victoria, and it was the biggest negative with it for me. Only for a year, but I'm hopeful too much damage wasn't done.

Would love a full package sensor like this for our own house (I have three purifiers..) so I'll get in touch once I've learned soldering, which requires acquiring the necessary tools.
The country too has a stake here, and one that's perhaps even larger.
Most important tool is the programmer. Suboptimal programmers are worse than suboptimal tools, because suboptimal programmers create suboptimal tools.

I don't use anything separate from what we use for tracking the dev work. In the current job, Jira. I can report on what I did at the end of the year (for performance reviews) by querying the data, and check old release notes for a delivered feature list.

Outside of that, I have no need for a permanent list of my "done" items. I'm not saying it is a bad idea, I'm just not sure what goal is behind it. I'm genuinely curious why one would keep such a thing?
The way EU does things is getting tiresome. I'd love if we could blackhole their ASes.

Wow. How does a process like that even work, I'd assume if you can get away with not doing anything for seven years then you can get away with not doing it ever. On the other hand, if there's somebody who pushes this through, how come they're content to wait so long?
I almost clicked away from the the article because those Cityscapes transformations looked worse in my opinion - just washed out and dull, so I can understand why people didn't like the look. The Mapillary Vistas processing definitely was nicer, although it looked uneven to me - the road still looked washed out, which created an almost disturbing level of contrast with the greenery.

What they've done is interesting, and I think with further refinement it is certainly a technique to consider.
From a quick glance through the repo, this is attempting to be an open source alternative to a hosted Vision API like Google Cloud Vision API.

There's not a lot of "there" there yet, an http API layer on top of Tensorflow and YoLo essentially. But looks like a tidy start.
> I'm sure you can still develop in VSCode with third-party plugins.

The Arduino IDE 2.0 uses the ArduinoCLI as backend and they comunicate through a gRPC API, most functionalities are implemented only in the latter. It's technically feasible to create a VSCode plugin. :)

> (To be honest though, I would have been happy enough if they built it in Emacs, even if similar objections apply.)

Never used Emacs but I think it should be doable to integrate the ArduinoCLI as a plugin, if you want to take a try at it I suggest you read the docs. The gRPC is still not 100% stable though, I made a big refactoring in the initialization steps recently that still needs to be merged.

Such verbal economy. It's not just pride, it's excessive pride, to imagine you could write a system that others wouldn't complain about. He says so much about humane as programmers, humans as users, and the nature of programming in so few words.
Have you considered a consumer-billing version of this service, for students who are not low-income? For example, charging students for time credits they can use on the app, and paying tutors for their time? Perhaps you could use the revenue from such a service to fund the non-profit side of things.

Why Open Source Is Eating Europe – Summary
> They don't have muscles or blood vessels

They most certainly do. [1] We could argue about whether the hydraulic structures of the wing count as "blood vessels" - probably not for this purpose, inasmuch as they do not really circulate - but muscles, absolutely.

I mean, yes, insects are arthropods, and there are a few of those (such as salticids, which anyway are arachnids and not insects) who use hydraulic pressure to power some movements. But even for them, that's a special case; mostly they use muscles to move, just like we do, albeit with a very different style of scaffolding.

And, just generally - have you never eaten crab or lobster? What did you imagine you were eating then, if not muscle? Why assume other arthropods would not be constructed in a fashion generally similar to those?

Is this a physical whiteboard or wacom/ipad? Either way this sounds like a really subpar experience of having the teacher write out an equation each time and then return to his keyboard to type the relevant explanation.

What's wrong with just enabling audio?
Totally agree. I really enjoy the Wall of Sound Grateful Dead recordings for this. Especially ones recorded at what sounds like a chilled daytime fate or festival. I find the ambient sounds in between songs and sets very relaxing.

I had an idea that I wanted to write a script to pull out and stitch together all of the ambient sound from their recordings I find it so relaxing. If it's not been done already by someone.

Hi!

Actually I lumped in cubicles with open offices as being the same thing.

I've worked in both!

I'll try to be careful with my words here:

So I found no difference in my actual happiness or well being such.

I do agree that having a 'home' in an office is important - and a cubicle you can call your own and decorate is something...

Totally agree that open plan noisy offices are a nightmare!

Hot-desking is another level of hell again!

All things considered I dont have poisitve views of any office situation based on my now >25years of experience! (damn, has it been that long...)

But I appreciate that some people do.

So thats just me :-)

These days I get to work from my home office with my wife and it's great! :-)

I really like the design aesthethic this product encourages. There's so much charm and fun and eccentricity that's lost in a web where full-height responsive image backgrounds and blocky design frameworks are ubiquitous.

If this can help people express just a little bit of the wild creativity of things like early 2000's MySpace layouts or GeoCities pages I'll be a big fan!

> 1000+ dependency from NPM

I've been working with Node in hobby projects since around 2012, been paid for it since 2016, and still don't understand why is that such a problem.

Compared to other language ecosystems, each of those dependencies is smaller and more atomic. If anything, it's closer to the "unix way" of small tools that do one thing and doing it well, rather then developing huge mega-libraries. Since these libraries are smaller, it's easier to change one for another.

Because of that, community is much less likely to settle on one standard way of doing things just because of "how things are done here", and ecosystem continues to evolve and find better ways of writing code. Would any other language ecosystem that is widely used in production go from callbacks to different promise libraries, to standard promise api to async? I don't think so. (Edit: strike that, Rust seems to have done it too. Well, Rust is also awesome). Of course, it means that you have to learn more; but it also leads to things actually becoming better, and not because of some central mandate by language committee, but as a result of a more decentralised gradual evolution. (Not completely decentralised, just compared to alternatives).

In any other ecosystem, pushing a pull request to any framework or library feels like something that you would do only after spending a couple of days of learning all the ropes of this codebase; in NPM, I've done meaningful contribution to a library less then an hour after learning about it's existence.
What I can't understand is that they had a super fast and innovative application for photos, Carousel, and they killed it.

Facebook can't back down. Unlike other companies, who might be able to adjust their business practices, however unwillingly, into compliance, for Facebook, violating their users' privacy is their business model. Everything. The whole enchilada.

What a strange ToS:

We can also change the fees for our services (other than those you have already contracted and paid for) at any time if we give you notice.

10.2 make you pay, on demand, default interest on any amount you owe us at 10% per annum calculated on a daily basis, from the date when payment was due until the date when payment is actually made by you. You will also need to pay all expenses and costs (including our full legal costs) in connection with us trying to recover any unpaid amount from you.

In circumstances where we cease providing our services for other reasons, we will, if we consider it appropriate, it is reasonably practicable and we are not prevented by law or likely to incur any liability in doing so, give you 30 days' notice to retrieve your data.

Not sure 10.2 is legal in EU?
And assuming all tumbled coins were tainted? Perhaps you could, but then I can imagine tumblers paying "innocent" people (out-of-band) to tumble their coins, while charging money launderers to do the same. If you could get a big fraction of all the active coins/wallets to be "tainted" then people are much less likely to refuse to transact with them.

The keystore situation is indeed poor. For several years now, it has been possible to do more key management in-app, so you don't need to manage keystores (i have written programs which pull standard PEM-encoded keys from environment variables).

Slight correction. Most lung cancer is due to smoking, although around 5% are not as your links demonstrate. Share of funding in research is hard and does often play on emotions.

It’s an interesting ethical question whether these should get funded. https://jme.bmj.com/content/medethics/31/3/164.full.pdf
The question here is does the US have any leverage left as it's not like the American diplomatic service haven't tried pressure European regulators and courts to water down the enforcement of European privacy regulation since it was enacted.

If the showdown happens in the highly independent German court system, i just don't see how American political pressure is going to stop the slow but steady path of escalating measures likely to be taken if Facebook refuses to comply with court rulings.
So it looks the first round of supreme court actions along this regard I was thinking of started with:
Lanzetta v. New Jersey, 306 U.S. 451 (1939)
Thrown out for being too vagure

However, later cases like:

Robinson v. California

Powell v. Texas

Threw out that laws that criminalize a status of someone, so a lot laws regarding status in lower courts where ruled unconstutional.

However, yea things like sleeping have been in a legal limbo for quite some time. Since it is an action, but people need sleep to live. So seems like that case settles that question since criminalizing a necessity for life is kinda ridiculous.
Quite. Who are mere German public officials to question the rectitude of an organisation as august as Facebook?
