Nor do I want my browser to violate its own intended purpose.

They are essentially preaching 'privacy' to those wanting to a privacy-focused browser and product and having that as its main unique selling point but then is paid by an anti-privacy company 'Google' which contradicts everything in Mozilla's mission statement.

Plus, Mozilla sort of did this to themselves anyway and turned Google into a direct competitor with Chrome.
This is a moot point unless you always verify and check all hardware and software that you use, including communications devices.
A big problem with many of these features is that they almost always end up getting used in ways that makes the code more convoluted when there are simpler alternatives.

needing to store state - use a class

needing lazy evalutaion - use a class (though this is a common enough use case to be a primitive, e.g. Kotlin)

decorators - if you pass decorated methods around -> now you have to remember the context the methods hold. Instead, refactor your code to be more direct so that you don't need decorators.

type hints - they are not fully enforceable at compile time, unless everything in your codebase has type hints. This is never the case and type hints can easily lull you into a false sense of security.

functools module - generally I'm ok with this but sonetimes you have to be aware of when you need to deep copy vs when you don't etc.

If anyone here decides to put a collar (with or without a tracker) on a cat, please remember to use a breakaway collar!

These are designed to break off (as opposed to choking the cat) if they get caught on a fence or branch or something.

They cost next to nothing - and can save your outdoor cat's life.

Current generation of desktop/laptop processors are plenty powerful. I’m unconvinced they cannot fulfil today’s computing needs.
I know a few people involved in drone delivery projects. Their employers are always just about to launch commercial services, and it has been that way for several years. There was to be a big trial of food deliveries within a university campus, but the local aviation regulator stopped it from happening due to a load of unresolved safety issues.

The problem is that drone delivery in urban areas is difficult. Accurate landing issues, noise, kids throwing stones at them, overhead wiring, managing safe landing when there's a fault etc. Oh and the big one, air traffic control. The authorities want drone operators to co-ordinate their flights so that they don't crash in to each other. The clients of the drone operators are obsessed with commercial confidentiality and don't want that to happen.

I'm in Ireland the only type of drone delivery that seems to be successful so far is delivering medicines and the like to small islands off the west coast where most of the above issues don't apply. It seems to me that drone delivery will end up being a niche thing. Ground based robot delivery systems will probably succeed where drones fail.
Yes, this is where I feel a downvote is not appropriate.

I can see why one has the urge to downvote this though. It has to do with “ruining the positive atmosphere”. Instead of offering alternative view, heck, even just a simple encouragement, some people just default to knee jerk reaction of disapproval.
> Just logging GPS every few seconds on a delivery to your home must be the vast majority of the data.

Logging gps once per second every second of the day using two doubles will get you 691Kib of data. Unless you have two deliveries in flight 24/7 the math does not check out.

Wow this is utter insanity. So you are saying he deserved to be locked up under the pretense that he was someone else because he was homeless and at one point had some mental health issues?

You are deranged. You are a hell of a lot scarier to me than this guy is.

Honestly it sounds like that lesson would probably do you some good.
> Or to be precise, there isn't any that passes any statistical or other standards. What little evidence there is goes both ways and has, at best, tiny effect sizes.

You mean the link from [1] to "An experiment about static and dynamic type systems" based on "an empirical study with 49 [undergraduate] subjects that studies the impact of a static type system for the development of a parser over 27 hours working time.". I think studies like this are more distracting here than useful (low skill level, not large scale enough, too much noise, toy example). The article here sums up a lot of my thoughts on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27892615

And do you really need a study that proves e.g. (to pick a simpler example to summarise) a language that makes it impossible for null deferences to happen at compile-time is going to have less null dereference errors than one that lets those errors happen at runtime? It's like insisting for an empirical study that 2 + 2 = 4.

> It may be that such code is easier to write with static types, but that hasn't been shown,

The typed SQL example might look something like:

function getUserInput(): string

function createSanitisedString(s: string): SanitisedString
function createSafeSqlQuery(s: SanitisedString): SqlQuery

For the code `createSafeSqlQuery(getUserInput())`, a static type checker would stop the entire program from starting with a type error pinpointing the exact line where the unsanitised data is coming from. With a dynamic type checker:

1. At best, the code will fail only after the user input is received by createSafeSqlQuery during runtime and you won't know where the input originated from.

2. At worst, the coder forgets to add a check like `typeof s === SanitisedString` or a call to `createSanitisedString` in `createSafeSqlQuery` and creates an injection attack.

The static type checker clearly wins here for me for safety and ease of implementing correctly. I don't need a study to know that compile-time errors are better than production runtime errors, that automated and exhaustive checks of correctness are better than the coder having to remember to add manual checks, and that it's better to know the exact line the unsanitised input came from over only knowing it comes from somewhere.

What languages have you used that have strong static type systems that you've written large programs in? Have you tried OCaml or Haskell for example?

I blame the HGTV shows for this misconception that a house renovation has a positive investment return. They show things like “a $100,000 kitchen remodel leads to an increase in house value of $80,000, an 80% return!”, when of course the real return is -20%. That’s not even counting time-value, which may lower it to -40% or -50% depending how long you hold the house. When you factor in opportunity cost...even worse. The best home “renovation”, when it comes to investment, is to do nothing.
> a huge nest egg they end up carrying to their grave

Oh no! The tragedy of not spending everything you own!

Sarcasm aside though, almost everyone will mispredict how much they are likely to earn in their lifetime and the opinion of your friend falters a bit in the presence of significant randomness. Estimating your future earnings too low is not really a problem, estimating too high can lead to serious problems when faced with unexpected expenses. Since there is only limited downside to being conservative with debt and serious downsides to being too extravagant, I don't think that potential high-earners are being all that irrational by avoiding debt.

Of course, if you are psychologically a "maximizer" then you might want to skate closer to that edge and risk falling off in exchange for potentially squeezing every last dollar out of your life. If your psychological profile is closer to being a "satisficer" then avoiding risk to maintain your current lifestyle is probably better for you. In personal finance, no solution is correct for everyone.
> One possible application for something like this would be to design a loudspeaker where the time-of-flight of the soundwave travelling from a tweeter to the listener would be the same as the same sound sent from a midrange speaker. Most designs do not adjust for such differences.

Most designs, true. Very high-end speakers do sometimes incorporate all-pass filters in parts of their crossovers to compensate for the set-back of the apparent sound source in woofers. But very few people tilt their speakers so that the distance from the midrange and woofer to their ears is exactly the same as that from the tweeter at the listening position, and getting complicated crossovers to be reliable at 100 watt power levels is very expensive.

Time-of-flight compensation is trivial in the digital domain, so some active crossovers (which operate on line level signals, before the power amplifiers) also do this. The downside, of course, is needing one power amplifier per speaker cone, not just one per box, and the extra wires if using separate amplifier blocks rather than active speakers.

The consensus seems to be that it's not worth the trouble in ordinary listening situations.
Correct problem. Incorrect solution. Like always.

FUSE is neat for one-off access to obscure file systems, and FUSE is usable for things like sshfs for those who use that, but it is my impression from having used FUSE myself that FUSE does come with a noticeable performance penalty.

I don't think that any lama claims what you say. The assassination if Langdarma took place 1200 years ago.

But all this is not the point - it's obvious that there were many bad things going on before the Chinese invasion. The Chinese never address things like "you invaded a country, you were killing people, putting them in prison, starving to death". Instead, they turn to arguments like: "But lamas were very bad, they were abusing ordinary people".

Of course the past system was bad and abusive. The problem is, the current system is so much worse that ordinary people prefer to self-immolate than to live in it.

You walk in to the doctor's office on February 28. At the desk, you see another patient about to leave. They turn to the desk attendant and say, "I'll see you in a month for my follow-up."

What date is the other patient's next appointment? What if the date you walked in had been January 31?

Also, for what it's worth, in C#:

DateTime x = new DateTime(2021, 1, 31);
x.AddMonths(1); // Feb 28
x.AddMonths(2); // March 31
x.AddMonths(1).AddMonths(1); // March 28

You don't need to verify everything yourself. You can verify any small part and rely on the community to verify the rest. Or pay someone to verify. However, for all that you need verifiability, which Apple lacks.

Jesus christ. Did you go to public school? In most cases vaccinations for common diseases is required to attend. Vaccines save lives, is very little burden to you especially if you "have a good immune system". The faster we get everyone vaccinated the faster we get rid of the need of masks and restrictions. It's morons like you elongating things.

If you get on that ventilatior you won't be thinking you made the right choice. You'll be wishing you took the vaccine like so many stories we see today. What an idiotic hill to die on.
The disadvantage due to pregnancy leave is tricky stuff - even with best intentions. (Actually same for any other longer term leave).

Especially if in the X months you are away, someone needs to step in as temp replacement because you're the only person of that role in your team/unit.

Basically - where does that replacement come from? And where does replacement go afterwards?

It's slightly less problematic if you're 1 of say 3 or more people in the same role in the team/unit.

Though even when it works out (say if not temp backfill then you have another place/team/unit to join once you're back, or you weren't only person of that role).

Various changes/pivots likely lead to you coming back to something completely different from what you left, if it's even determined what exactly will you work on once you come back.
I've heard that the popular idea that the UK was covered in dense forest after the ice age until modern times is mostly erroneous these days. Even around 4000BC-1000BC humans were up there farming and clearing quite quickly.

https://aeon.co/essays/who-chopped-down-britains-ancient-for...

"This understanding has now been shown to be wholly inaccurate. Much of England had been cleared as early as 1000 BCE, some two millennia beforehand. The Bronze Age saw intensive farming on a scale that we are only just beginning to appreciate. As Oliver Rackham puts it in The History of the Countryside:

"It can no longer be maintained, as used to be supposed even 20 years ago, that Roman Britain was a frontier province, with boundless wild woods surrounding occasional precarious clearings on the best land. On the contrary, even in supposedly backward counties such as Essex, villa abutted on villa for mile after mile, and most of the gaps were filled by small towns and the lands of British farmsteads."

"

Obviously there as loads more forest than now, but 1000 years ago it was about 15% forest, and now it's about 9%

This once popular belief or legend or myth connected to the forest myths of germany and Robin Hood and the idea of a primeval ancient woodland in the British deep dark past. Maybe also connected to a kind of romanticism of a past wild non-modern country.
The marketplace of ideas doesn't always work. Same is true for art, the most popular isn't necessary the best. I have no illusions about this.

But I have to compare it to the alternatives and those do not convince at all.

There is no purely rational and selfless comittee. How would such a group be less self-interested and less vulnerable to group-think? Or less ideological or prejudiced? Because they have some self-imposed mission to a higher cause? Who doesn't?

You can have your benevolent dictator that handles logistical problems of exposure to ideas, but the less error prone way to get the best ideas implemented is a mechanism to boot him out, or in other words, his ideas need justification on the marketplace of ideas. So I must always allow objections.

I think China would argue that it wasn't really an invasion, because Tibet had for a couple of hundred years kowtowed to the emperor, and was therefore really part of the empire.

Note that if you read the testimonies of those who escaped to India, it's hardly surprising that they are uniformly critical of the occupation. A more balanced history shows that prior to the occupation, peasants were generally the property of the landowner; a peasant needed the permission of his "owner" to get married, and that would not be granted if the intended was from another estate; and that many lives were objectively improved by the occupation.

I'm by no means a supporter of the occupation/invasion; it's been racist and kleptocratic since the beginning. But let's be clear: pre-occupation Tibet was no Shangri-La.
Yeah, that's a good point.
