There absolutely are, and I've done it myself. But it's a rare site that would really benefit from the method.
Seems kind of ironic to me that Doctorow would publish on Medium.
It's pretty rare for me to string more than two or three together. If you're chaining 10 together, maybe it is time for a loop.

Computers are fast, and all browsers are really good at this stuff, so I don't tend to worry about creating a bunch of extra work for the GC.

Exyte (Germany) was a big one. I myself haven't been up to date with news in the industry for around 10 years since I abandoned all attempts to enter the industry.
Crypto are a scam these days. The contract can be changed, it isn't set in stone. Look at the Ethererum and Ethereum Classic.

While they are called crypto currencies, most of them if not all aren't used as currencies.

I just to give a hint I am involved since 2011 and just dumped all crypto. When I get crypto tips from strangers at my son's swimming team, it's about time to quit it.

Cellebrite isn't definitionally lawful. It's a private company that sells to other private entities that may or may not choose to use their software lawfully. I don't think they (should) get a pass just because some of their clients happen to be LEO.

What's the general process for proving to yourself that your hand-coded vectorization produces the same output and is faster than a more straightforward implementation?

Seems like if you have such an implementation then it can be used for multiple tasks, running on weird platforms, checking to see if autovectorization is good enough for your current use case, automated testing of the optimized routines against a slower, simpler version and this verification process is just one more thing that would be able to take advantage of this. Yet it would seem that this generally doesn't exist or at least there's no standard way to do it, since they propose adding a standard compiler flag to disable and optimization but currently need to creatively work around the lack of that.

Do people generally assume it's going to be faster and just jump into the vectorized stuff and treat that as the gold standard with no plan for reversing or revisiting that decision later? Seems like a good bet in the short term, but maybe a bad bet in the long term.

Or is this all secretly a plot by chip manufacturers to create lock-in by writing fast but platform specific libraries?
Interesting. Not in my experience tho, I've sent money to 3 different countries and they all required the receiver ID
First feature rich version of ucollage, a vim inspired command line image viewer based on ueberzug. Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions.
I strongly doubt it's anything to do with booby-trapping. The article was less focused on the physical act of data destruction and more the context of destroying data related to an investigation, which arguably constitutes Destruction, Alteration, or falsification of records as per https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1519

I say arguably of course as I doubt that this is a scenario that has really been carefully tested in law, but the article seemed more focused on how such an act would be interpreted by the courts if it really came to it. And the important part of such a situation is mentioned here:

"... (if the user gets blamed for what her phone does to a Cellebrite machine, she will be plunged into a world of pain, irrespective of whether she would ultimately be held culpable for the design of an app she had installed on her phone)... "

My layperson read of all this situation is that it doesn't really matter whether or not you know at the time of such a file existing whether or not you're under investigation, if the end effect the file will have on a process used by a Government Agency in a legal search is known, the fear seems to be that even if ultimately you end up inculpable, it's a very long and rocky road to get there legally speaking, as the Government will likely not even try to argue about the quality of code or whether it's you or Cellebrite (or whoever) that is responsible, but that you had a file which had a known effect which in turn impeded an investigation.

Remember that criminal cases have specific challenges that the prosecution accuses of and that the defendant protects against; if the challenge is that "[you] knowingly put data on your computer which impedes investigations by Agencies of the US Government by means of corrupting data", the mechanism of how the data got corrupted is not nearly as important as the actual act/intention.

If Signal really is doing this, I think their intent was trying to undermine this with the random users part (so that users couldn't feasible know if they had a trap or not), but personally, I think this is kind of weak as with the announcement, there's knowledge that an application you have has a non-0 chance of causing such disruption, and probably it's enough to at least waste a lot of your time and money. (Especially if it really did a number on a Cellebrite device that damaged a lot of other investigations...probably they'd go after a person just out of spite at that point.)
What do you make of RCEP then?
Literally just used it (still open) to to create an audio performance for my kid's schoolwork. I use it once a year on average, all platforms, for a decade or more. It's awesome, though the whole import/export is not save/load thing seems superfluous. While this makes sense to programmers, for normal user UX I would recommend removing that and just normalize to save/save-as with warnings if data is being lost. Telemetry or advertising would make me use alternatives.
Applets may be dead now, but they did deliver a lot of value during their lifetime. That's a success in my book.
Well if it's the authorities, they can present you with a warrant and request that you disable your defenses. You should not be required to roll over and present your defenseless underbelly to everyone that wants to break in, in case some of them are "the authorities".
So, first of all, as someone who works for Google, I don't think you should be worried about it. Using personal data is currently pretty strictly regulated. Using 3rd party analytics data in such a way would likely be illegal (IANAL and I'm not writing this comment on behalf of Google).

And even in the worst case, supposing that Google and Yandex are evil, what's your exact concern? That you presses on Play and Record buttons will be used to target ads?
I just put "unmarries partnership" or couples and "cohabitating partners" into Google and there was tons of it. Census itself seems to answer questions like these.

> I wonder why they don't just call the game developers on the phone and say "here is AMD, you must fix your shaders, here is the code".

From my experience as a member of an away team, your own goals is not the home team's goals. Thus the home team has close to zero motivation to rethink their schedule and program just because someone else, who just happened to release their product, happened to find an issue that is only observed and reproduced in a very specific platform that no one uses (yet).

Who has all the motivation to see that bug fixed? The ones releasing the product. Thus, the fixes go in the driver, because that's the only thing in their control.
This overall reminds me of the good ol' Asimov's "Risk" story:

Talking to users can be cheap and easy - easier today with the ease of running remote usability sessions for example.

Telemetry is the lazy, unthinking approach developers typically take. They think the telemetry data tells you what users are doing and how. But it doesn't really. It does not tell you how easy, difficult or frustrating the user finds using an app. It does not tell you whether the user accomplished their goal or gave up in frustration.

If anyone still thinks running a usability study (to spot usability problems in an app) is too complicated, read this 20+ year old article from Jakob Nielsen (of NNGroup):

> The Australian Magpie is also extremely intelligent, surprisingly they're not part of the Corvus family but they are very, very similar.

I agree — they’re more intelligent than cockatoos, though it’s not as obvious. At the same university, I once saw two young magpies lying on the ground. Were they hurt? No — they were play-fighting with each other, lying on the ground and using their feet to wrestle. An amazing sight.
I learned myself that a “house plan” whether it’s 2d or 3D or 4d or whatever is a horrible interface for a smart home. I prefer a much simpler “card” or page per room.

I think the "full" version is easier to read:

T = TypeVar("T")
def odd_numbers(nums: Iterable[T]) -> Iterator[T]:
for n in nums:
if n % 2 == 1:
yield n

Although yet another option is to just return the generator instead of immediately yielding from it:

T = TypeVar("T")
def odd_numbers(nums: Iterable[T]) -> Iterator[T]:
return (n for n in a if n % 2 == 1)

c) It really is.

a) b) Of course it's relevant. If you condemn one but not the other you are engaging in a double standard.
But in the case of a checkout where you give info letting them track your purchases, you get discounts in return. Audacity isn't offering anything in return for opting in to telemetry.
It's not list comprehension, it's generator comprehension, which is lazily computed. However it's still an unnecessary layer of iteration, when you could just return the comprehension instead.

I second DrScump's point, but it is also a fact that the car did recognize that the lane was a no-go area, at least in its immediate vicinity. From the video, the fragility revealed here seems to be that the system driving the car is attemptng to follow the route from the planning system very explcitly, down to which lane to use, and there seems to have been no effective way to get that plan revised in the face of the problem.

In general, I would imagine that following a route plan to the lane level of detail is important; I can see that it would be when approaching a turn, for example. Also, when the car first encounters the cones, it only recognizes that the lane is blocked for a short distance: after that, each cone encountered seems to be a separate problem. Humans easily generalize a line of cones to a blocked lane and modify their plans accordingly, but we do not have AGI yet.
It is a reasonable assumption. They just totally flubbed the original incident. Someone just dropped a PR saying they're merging in telemetry without any issue discussion, or forum post, or anything, and all the initial review discussion on it was able how they should vendor their dependencies - no discussion about telemetry.
Not challenging this but do you have a link?

In terms of geology it’s all just the Eurasia pate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Plate

Europe has always just been an political/economic entity as overland passage to Asia is difficult. Which makes the border completely arbitrary with various historic maps placing it in different areas.

That said plate technics is surprisingly recent, reaching a fairly modern form and acceptance in ~1960’s.
I use Stadia, its actually very good, its fantastic technically, but it should have been a subscription service with Google doing what Epic did by throwing money at developers to get games on their platform, they should also have used it as a way of showcasing demo's of games. Im not going to buy anymore games on it now, its probably going to be shuttered in before the end of the year, which is a tragedy, because it could have been something special.

How the internet has woven itself into American life (2014)
How unsurprising this has been flagged.
My experiences are different.

I think most assembly-houses self-source some parts, and they do it in large quantities (like 1M+ parts/year). As such, they buy at extremely good prices. They overbuy themselves, and in order to get the same good pricing next year, they keep overbuying. Some of their inventory is then sold locally, and ends up in the Shenzhen market or at unauthorized resellers.

For the quantities I buy (sub-1000 pcs typ.) the pricing is usually 0.2-2.0 times the known good parts from known (authorized) sellers.

The problem is that I can not be sure what I get, and I have to implement really extensive testing for each batch.
দুই কিশোর (বদর যুদ্ধের গল্প)
Those are too hard for beginning programmers. And the Web has all the best-in-class UI design tools (except for maybe Interface Builder, which isn't cross-platform). Plus there's thr fact that Qt apps need extensive cross-platform testing; by contrast, because Chrome works the same way everywhere, so too do Electron apps, so you can deploy to multiple platforms much more quickly.

When it comes to TCO and time to market, none of the non-Web solutions come close to Electron.
Thanks for sharing! I always dismissed the ‘cockatoos opening zips’ thing as a myth… perhaps it was true after all.
Or your Wifi MAC gets tagged by a streetcar at one location, you move and google still things your at the old location. Had that, they even have way to feed that back iirc and was able to get that updated without a driveby of a streetcar. Note this was over ten years ago and WiFi density has increased.
Awesome!

Seems neat to spin up temporary lightweight clusters for E2E tests in a CI/CD pipeline, instead of a KinD cluster which can have very low performances.
I suggest you actually read the article you posted.

"The death was not part of a "fad" for getting high"
Rough googling produces 89.6% of people become parents and it stands to reason that some of that remaining 11% would have wanted them but died first or were sterile.

The numbers suggest the vast majority of people prioritize producing offspring for whatever reason. It’s likely 10,000 reasons not one. Social pressure, for the grandparents, because everyone else is, because I want to pas son my genes, because she/he was too hot to worry about protection that night, etc.

The largest single issue with your comment though is that most of us probably don’t see the future as a grim resource constrained fact. Life over here in the West in 2020 is pretty good, historically speaking and in absolute terms. Even for the worst amongst us. We can backslide quite a bit and still be looking positivity towards our descendants expected quality of life. As for the developing world, in most of those places the quality of life has been a rocket ship during their lifespans so it would be rough for them to come that conclusion as well I would imagine.

I understand climate change is scary and recognize it could be the end but when faced with existential dread like that some people lay down and curl up while most people stand up and push forward harder. There are 1,000 ways we all die but billions of possibilities so I personally choose to live in today and face just the 1 death that comes for us when it comes rather than all 1,000 possibilities every time some hack journalist wants to clickbait up their revenue that quarter.
Which is better for you, but for your company, "wait, I'm on it" and "wait, they're on it" does not make a world of difference.

What's better, on the other hand, is that you can schedule expected and possible downtimes to a time that causes the least impact to your company; with a SaaS, an update might cause you problems any time.
Again, if you read the article you'd be able to answer these questions.

Here's the math:

- 2.89 billion hectares of land is used for pasture, one third of which (870 million hectares) is suitable for growing crops.

- 538 million hectares is used for growing crops to be eaten by animals.

So, by removing meat from our diet we could free up 1.4 billion hectares of land JUST for crop land for human consumption, while allowing the other 2 billion hectares of non arable pasture to reforest - which would have significant impact on carbon sequestration and biodiversity.

Keep in mind that 1 billion hectares of land is the size of North America plus Brazil.

It is estimated that the entire human population would only need 1 billion hectares of land to survive (on an all plant-based diet). This means that ultimately 3 billion hectares of land could be reforested. The reduction in the farming and food shipping industry's carbon emissions would also have significant impact on reversing climate change.
I guess this is different in the USA, but in a lot of places, spreading FUD in an attempt to harm a business could be considered defamatory. It might not even matter if what is being said is true if there is no positive social purpose to the statements.
