Rust does not "forbid shared mutable state". Instead it offers both the usual usual shared references along with a new unique reference, but restricts shared references so the type being pointed to must opt into aliased mutation. Making sharing and aliased mutation explicit in the type system allows both the programmer and the compiler to reason about which variables can change behind your back when calling functions or mutating through other pointers, and which ones are referentially transparent. (Though this property does come with sacrifices to programmer convenience, namely the restrictions on Cell, the runtime overhead and panic-proneness of RefCell, and the unsafe blocks associated with UnsafeCell. Hopefully GhostCell can do better.)
It's the best I've found so far. They have a number of apps (docs, drive, moments, etc), and I wouldn't say they are as good as Google right now, but they are quite workable.
On privacy, it's impossible to pretend that Apple is anywhere near as intentionally terrible as Google is.

Google literally buys copies of everyone's credit/debit card transaction data so they can spy on what you do in the real world as much as they spy on what you do online.

>Of course, Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

Google literally pioneered the privacy shredding surveillance capitalism business model.

>As the pioneer of surveillance capitalism, Google launched an unprecedented market operation into the unmapped spaces of the internet, where it faced few impediments from law or competitors, like an invasive species in a landscape free of natural predators.

Surveillance capitalists quickly realized that they could do anything they wanted, and they did.

I don't want Google at all in my life, so I think this product seems very attractive. But of course it depends on the user, what they value.
The married man in this example is not making enough to support his family at 60k. The obvious conclusion is that he would not be working this job if he were making that 60k. Those same forces apply to the women - if she were not making ends meet, she would be forced to move on.

The price of his labor is more because he demands more.
The biggest WTF part of this is in the subtitle:

The key problem with anti-vaxxers isn't even necessarily the fact that they don't want to get the vaccine -- it's that anti-vax attitudes tend to go hand in hand with complete pandemic denialism.
Wake up at 0430, exercise, take a shower and then work till you need to get ready for your full time job. If possible also dedicate half of your lunch hour to your project as well, together with half a weekend day.

It's quiet so early in the morning, so your productivity will skyrocket. I've coded my Paras this way while working a full time, heavy blue-collar job.
I not totally agree with this. Architecture is really important because it can make new feature less expensive in term of development. If you judge a work only in terms of final product UX, you miss this point.
I've seen https://4dayweek.io/ posted a few times here, so that might be a site to watch. There's other locations where 4 day a week positions come up, but it's more of a rarity.
I stand corrected (though they do offer DuckDuckGo, which seems like the biggest 'privacy-oriented' player). Are you suggesting that the deal with Google is responsible for the omission of Yandex or StartPage, though? I would guess it's for other reasons, such as user experience or reluctance to vet and endorse less-frequently used engines.
Well, it only takes one psycho to push a cyclist/pedestrian onto the road or under a train, like it happens surprisingly often in Germany and elsewhere. But I guess that's not reported as a road death. Zero is impossible.
I think there’s a place for Dave Ramsey’s advice. I don’t care for the religious stuff- but the advice is solid to get out of debt

Please please support custom storage back ends, I'd love to use my Dropbox or S3 or whatever to still fully own my pictures. And I'd love to pay extra to opt out of and analysis, tagging, etc of my photos. Basically I'd like the interface to be similar to Google Photos but with a privacy focused storage engine and clients.
Except it appears that Toyota itself is pushing the anti-self-driving line here as well. I'm certainly skeptical of some claims about self-driving, can understand that there are differences in being apologetic, and can understand the choice to suspend operations, but it's an odd jump to have your CEO say that this incident "shows that autonomous vehicles are not yet realistic for normal roads."

I’ve also been thinking about this problem space. My approach is to help candidates build skills, demonstrate proficiency, in a loop with the recruiters.

Basically, take the whole “how I learned my data science skills” into something that can be done in public.

The recruiters can then see a wide range of examples, and can be better at picking up where people’s strengths and talents are.

> But how can you be sure the number displayed on your screen in genuine? You can't. The telecom system is hopelessly insecure and shouldn't be trusted for anything more complicated than dialling the speaking clock.

Anyone in the telco space that can comment on how much this is implemented in their geographic area (US, EU, APAC, etc)?
I found it a lot easier than I thought it would be. Ada has RAII (controlled types) which you can use for reference counting and resource management like in C++.

Septum uses a lot of dynamically allocated memory, but it's all hidden by smart pointers or Unbounded_String (built-in reference-counted COW strings). I use it routinely to search codebases in the tens of millions of lines and it's fast enough right now (single second search times) due to task parallelism I did in Ada that I haven't even bothering to tune it or do any fancy indexing yet.
You mean like in bailment? That's a thing.
FWIW, and this is not a 'dis' at the researchers, I would also not say this is "extremely sophisticated". Most attacks these days involve chaining lots of bugs like this and using grooming techniques. It's extremely impressive work and I have great respect for people who can do that, but I would reserve "extremely sophisticated" for cases where novel techniques are used, which isn't really the case here.

>Putting them on halt... Goddamn, never underestimate the power of the media.

I'd chalk this up more to Toyota. They are an extremely risk averse company.

"“It shows that autonomous vehicles are not yet realistic for normal roads,” (Akio Toyoda) said." What other CEO do you know that would straight up admit their technology was at fault and is not ready for widespread use?
> It either works or it does not.

You do realize that, in medicine, things "work" on a spectrum right? A pill might be x% effective at alleviating certain systems in particular cases, etc. Why shouldn't the case be the same for masks? There are far more variables than "bool masked = true". What kind of mask material was worn? Was it a well-fitted mask? Was it a particulate filter mask or a simple one? Was the infected person masked? The non-infected? Etc.

I'd chalk it up to the Japanese way of doing things, but I'm not sure.
If we're into bad physical analogies, I feel a better comparison would be the company itself sending an indexed copy of the records of all their clients and relying on ethics alone to keep someone from reading others' data.
Maybe the manual controls have a problem, or the mix of self-driving/manual caused a problem? The article doesn't say much, but it may have to do with the design of the system (and not the self-driving itself)

I bet if one group of people weren't threatening to ruin the other group's lives (deny them employment, access to education, custody of their children) you would see more in the second group willing to "vaccinate". Unfortunately the first group has taken an authoritarian posture on the matter and is consequently distrusted.
I always liked Ada, going back to the first MIL-STD-1815 of it (from 1980). It looked very complicated to me at the time, so I didn't try implementing it (instead I thought C++ would be a couple months to implement and did that instead).

A couple things D took from Ada were the in, out, and inout parameters, and embedding _ in numeric literals like 1_000_000.

The latter is so simple and so useful.

I still have my copy of MIL-STD-1815 on the shelf. No, you can't have it.
Newly Discovered Glycosylated RNA Is All over Cells. Study
The Banach-Tarski theorem motivated the idea of amenable groups in topological group theory. Understanding exactly what that means is on my todo list, but I think the basic idea is that a given space can have additive measures invariant under some transformation groups but not others. Particularly, the Banach-Tarski paradox shows that regular old 3-dimensional Euclidean space doesn't have an additive measure invariant under rotation and translation. On the other hand, 2-dimensional Euclidean space does have it.
Actually, understanding sunk costs may have saved the Concorde rather than killing it. I'm using entirely made up numbers just as an example -- let's say that halfway through development, new estimates of total project costs were $1 billion and total revenue was only projected to be $750 million. Shut it down? Nope, because the first half-billion has already been spent. At this point, the options are to stop and get zero, or spend the second half-billion to see a 750m return. So work continues.
I'm sorry but your analogy just doesn't work.

If you're de-platformed from YouTube, Facebook, etc, you can still publish your content and share it. You have a distribution issue, you don't have an "ability to perform" issue.

The old cellular phones once had an external antennae too. But current modern cellular phones have managed to pack it internally. So perhaps this could be possible for satellite phones too, one day.

Technically, it may be possible but I think this is fake too - In India, you cannot own and operate a satellite phone without getting an NOC (no objection certificate) from the Home Ministry (who are in charge of internal security in india). Apple will not be able to sell its phone in India if it adds satellite telephony to it.

Most countries will react the same - no country likes to allow communication within its borders that it can't monitor (it's an obvious national security threat).
There is none. But even though the term 'pedophile' refers to a psychiatric condition involving children as objects of sexual attraction, most lay people refer to child molesters as pedophiles.

I once had a therapist (with a degree in psychology and a history of treating sex offenders, not that I am one) who didn't realize that 'pedophile' just referred to an attraction. When I told him I was a pedophile he incorrectly assumed I was a sex offender and asked me about the nature of my crime. We had a debate about it until the next session where he said he looked it up and yes, pedophile just referred to the sexual orientation.

If someone who works as a psychologist makes that mistake, it's safe to assume that calling yourself a 'pedophile' makes you a target for every would vigilante out there regardless of what you have or haven't done.

Most people who are pedophiles don't refer to themselves as such, even in communities there are filled with pedophiles, like Inkbunny, because of the negative connotations. They call themselves 'cubfurs' or 'cublovers' or 'shotacons' or things like that. And my close friends and I have our own terminology.

Hence some people have started to refer to as pedophiles as 'pedosexuals' or MAPs (Minor Attracted Persons) as a more neutral term. But I never liked the term myself because it feels too much like the beginning of a euphemism treadmill and I figured I might has well bite the bullet and call myself what I am regardless of if it makes people uncomfortable. (Which I'm sure it does, my apologies in advance.)

100% of the rewards don't have to come from transaction fees. they could also be funded in part from other customers' interest payments. I notice that the best rewards cards often have very high interest rates. this is also not a great state of affairs; you are essentially taking advantage (through an intermediary) of other people who can't manage their finances. but it's not quite paying into your right pocket by picking from your left.

I’m planning on implementing a transactional (ACID) key-value storage on modern hardware, i.e. SSD and large RAM. The technical choice on question is the type of index storage to use: b+tree, extending hashing, or linear hashing.

There will be an appending WAL for batching the writes and for transaction support. A single checkpoint worker will apply the updates from WAL to the index storage periodically. The updates will be batched, to minimize the random seeks.

Please help me evaluate the three indexing approaches, on the criteria of fast read, fast write, cache friendliness and ease of supporting atomic update during checkpoint.

> So sure, their advice might work for the top 5%, but the rest of people will never "get rich" using that advice

The median household income in the United States is $79.9K. Assuming that a family of four can live on $50K (including taxes) in - most - locations, which is twice the poverty limit, they can theoretically save $30K a year in a mix of 401K, IRA, and general investment accounts.

This amount, if invested over thirty years with a 7.5% annual return (which is lower than what the S&P has historically returned by a fair amount), would give them a nest-egg of $3M. If they only manage to save half of that amount, they would still have $1.5M by retirement.

Now, this is a very feasible scenario for families in their twenties to late thirties, which is why many of the names mentioned in the article harp on the importance of investing early. It doesn't work nearly as well once you reach that point.

However, the opposite - not saving or investing, and having a large amount of consumer debt - leads to significantly worse outcomes.
"Real English language keywords" for readability was probably the most sensible choice back in the early 1980s when Ada was first standardized. They're rather less popular today, of course. The interesting question is, does using, e.g. BEGIN and END instead of curly brackets really make it easier for novices who are learning to code today. It's an interesting topic and one that isn't often seen here.

Well you're being somewhat responsible already in that you're paying your bills straight away, so yay for you.

Regarding your shopping habits, it sounds like you're acquiring more tools but not making good use of what you have. Switch to buying used things,a nd spend more time sweating over the things you bought figuring out how to use them effectively. This will probably be an emotionally painful and initially unsatisfying process. Make something with your 3d printer. Be disappointed. Make something marginally better, continue being disappointed. Repeat until one day you unexpectedly feel pleased with the results.

It takes about 3 months to shift behavior patterns, even with the help of something like Adderall, which is totally fine to use.

It is deeper than that. There is no way to do a similar duplication of a 2-dimensional disc. Why is it different in 3 dimensions? That is a property of the transformation group (rotation and translation) rather than 3-space itself.

It takes a bit of code but if you know the length of the response you're expecting then you can use XHR's "progress" event.

This article is laughable.

1) Most of the personal finance experts he lists aren’t telling you how to get rich. They’re telling you how not to be poor.

2) Most people do need a coach or a mom or whatever to tell them they can’t afford something. Most people don’t even know how to balance a checkbook or calculate the real interest rate of a credit card.

3) Most people don’t know how compounding interest works.

4) There’s no definition of “rich”

5) I know plenty of people making mid-6 to low-7 figure incomes while “working for someone else” and some retired in their late-40s, early 50s

6) Most businesses fail

IMFLer: A Web App for Interactive Metabolic Flux Analysis and Visualization
I just set up PhotoPrism myself this week! With it being completely self-hosted, this isn't something I'd be comfortable asking someone non-technical to do.

I like that it is self hosted, it also uses TensorFlow to classify images so you can perform keyword searches e.g "museum". It doesnt appear to be as good as Google Photos though, e.g in GP you can search "vaccination card" and it does what you expect which is very impressive.

Face detection is currently under heavy development also, which is very exciting: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/22

There are certainly things that are missing, but I'm okay with the tradeoffs for now in the hope that it will eventually improve.
