> First, in my mind the difference between reddit, FB, twitter, HN, forums, etc is really just configuration.

The big boys are dopamine reinforced network effects incorporated by means of software tech. So forget about aiming for Homer Simpson.

You'll have to be happy with a small, but productive minority. Enough valuable people would rather die than use FB for niche purpose X. Start by convincing them...
Documentation via dropping by someone's desk is much better than no documentation at all, which is what I have observed the effect of WFH to be (perhaps this isn't typical though).

Is it really so bad having small talk with coworkers? I don't know where one is supposed to find friends in this new society that prefers talking to strangers and aliases on the internet over talking to the person sitting right next to them.
Could you use tiny pellets fed in by a linear actuator and gravity, rotary loader, or some kind of a conveyor belt? If you want an off-the-shelf solution that's easy to reload, perhaps you could repurpose the loading mechanism of a machine gun to dispense the pellets.
I think the GP is referring to this part:

> The priv key is NEVER written to disk on your system,it is then thrown away after transmission. The public key can be found on your local system here on a Windows PC (ask if you want to know on a Macintosh): C:\Program Files\Backblaze\userPub.pem This is a standard "OpenSSL PEM File" as decribed here: http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/pem.html#PEM_ENCRYPTION_F....

Some MTA lines (NYC) are awful, too. The J comes to mind.

Rekowl: Knowledge Management System with Repetition
I like ML but it's not a very good language for this highly parallel HPC'ish stuff. We'll see how Rust does, it should be a lot closer to what's actually needed here.
The redirect after the prompt to go to the US site seems to not work. If you manually change with the flag icon at the top, it redirects you to https://www.traintrackr.io/ which shows US centric products and prices.
Isn't the author's point that they met there? So they got something other than a degree out of it, and their collaboration ended up being fabulous.
> They're not going to magically stuff that into an iPhone.

This sounds a bit like Ed Colligan's immortal "they're not going to just walk in."

The thing is, you're right, of course they're not going to just tweak a few things and somehow fit a satellite antenna into a phone. They're going to put Apple-level resources into recruiting a team of the field's leading experts and funding them for years to do it.

As you say, this would be a genuinely disruptive development in mobile tech. It seems at very least plausible that Apple would see this as a problem worth throwing a spare billion at solving.
The point here is that this incident doesn’t show anything about autonomous cars, good or bad. This car was actually under a manual operators control at the time of the accident. Also Toyota’s tech is not reflective of everyone else’s tech, there are many different approaches and they’re at very different stages of development.
Agreed. I’ve written a lot of B2B tools and locally storing a copy of lookup data is perfect when appropriate due to the generally smaller dataset sizes.

Back in the day I’d even do super fast geo proximity locally by including a json of the locations of first three digits of zip codes and truncating the zip code of the user to make the comparison.
Error rates account for these concerns. Error rate isn’t “the total number of errors”, it’s “errors per mile driven by all self-driving cars” (hence “rate”). Yes, an update might spike the number of errors, but as long as the error rate (accounting for severity) remains lower than for human drivers it’s still a net benefit. And moreover, no one is going to release an update to every car at once.

> opening real engineering books was eye-opening

Turns out designing a new system to fit requirements is orders of magnitudes harder than fixing a system somebody else designed.

You see this in software all the time. Anyone can follow a tutorial. But can you start from scratch and build something novel? Can you build it such that others can maintain long after you’re gone? That’s hard.

Same with cooking. Anyone can follow a recipe. But can you design a recipe?
Ask HN: Experience using Zanzibar-styled authorization in production?
In particular, with some OSS solution, like Ory Keto (https://www.ory.sh/keto) or Authorizer (https://www.authorizer.tech/docs/overview/introduction), both of which look promising for our use case.

Even though Ory Keto is more well known, Authorizer seems to be a step ahead by already supporting subject set rewrites, one of the key core concepts from the original Zanzibar paper (the lack of which being a major handicap).

Also, how do you manage cascade relation tuple deletion upon deleting the corresponding object/subject resource (e.g. user/group/etc)?
That's exactly the kind of things I've seen CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapies) do miracles in short periods of time. It requires some dedication but I've never thought it would work so well on my friends and relatives.
There are two types of commute. The first is where you don't have to take an active interest in your surroundings, you are free to use a laptop, read a book, chat with your friends, or even sleep. This commute allows you to spend the time how you like, and can be quite rewarding.

The other type of commute is when you are required to pay continuous attention to your environment for your safety. I played "pay attention or die" (aka driving) on 2 of the top 10 most congested expressways in the country as part of my daily commute... being able to have a friend along for part of it helped, but that time is never truly your own. I imagine it's the same for using a form of public transit that is less than safe, especially as anyone other than a large old grumpy white guy.

Transition time in the first case can be quite rewarding, although both are a tax.
My ancestors died at a ferociously fast rate. Living the same life they did sounds like a bad idea for me.
> Both companies do shitty things.

Only one of the two companies intentionally buys copies of everyone's credit/debit card data, intentionally hides privacy settings from users, and intentionally ignores those settings when users do manage to find them.

>Newly unredacted documents in a lawsuit against Google reveal that the company's own executives and engineers knew just how difficult the company had made it for smartphone users to keep their location data private.

Google employees appeared to recognize that users were frustrated by the company's aggressive data collection practices, potentially hurting its business.

"Fail #2: I should be able to get my location on my phone without sharing that information with Google," one employee said.

"This may be how Apple is eating our lunch," they added, saying Apple was "much more likely" to let users take advantage of location-based apps and services on their phones without sharing the data with Apple.

I use this same route pretty heavily across several cloud backup providers and never had corruption issues, but yes, it’s technically possible corruption could occur.

Just imagined a distopian future where storing data locally would be illegal, for the society good of course /s
> And often traditional cpus wind up evaluating both branches anyway.

That's actually really overstated. Evaluating both sides isn't really something CPUs tend to do, but instead predict one path and roll back on mispredict. This is because the out of order hardware isn't a tree fundamentally, but generally better thought of a ring buffer where uncommitted state is what's between the head and tail. Storing diverging paths is incredibly expensive there. I'm not going to say something as strong as "it's never been done", but but I certainly don't know of an general purpose CPU arch that'll compute both sides of an architectural branch, instead relying an making good predictions down one instruction stream, then rolling back and restarting when it's clear you mispredicted.
Thanks for the nudge! I was too lazy at the time and ranted here instead (which probably took longer than making the edit would have).
I just edited the article and removed the questionable section with my edit. (And it was faster than writing my original comment - including the account creation process on wikipedia)
Note that the Oracle flash drives are used, and likely won't have the full 100k remaining lifetime.

Option-= on a Mac with the US layout, fwiw.
I know right? I also loved the times where I got to the math and all that internal intuition lined up completely. Torsional deformation for example. I almost blamed myself for not inventing the math myself it so obviously matched my intuitions. It's kinda fun no matter which way it goes.

Black body radiation never quite sat right with me. One of the few subject areas where I just resigned myself to memorizing the formulas and moving on with life. Same with non-integer dimensional spaces for the most advanced partial differential course I took. I can visualize 2 million dimensional spaces just fine professor. But one and a half? What does this even mean?
> That's true, in theory. In reality though, when is that information extracted? What do you use to extract it? Where is it saved once extracted? How easy is it to review it? Do you need to use an IDE to do that?

You could use your build system to extract it to a website (eg. https://docs.rs/)
They aren't beautiful if you have a picture in your mind that you want to realize.

It hit me one day that some of the best character designers in the world didn't know any better than I did how to draw anime characters with Bezier curves.
Thanks for sharing your insights, I have bookmarked the essay.

We do intend to get our architecture reviewed by cryptographers. It's an expensive process but we should be able to be able to afford it soon.
Another thing I learned: Most engineers can build something that works. It is much, much harder to build something that optimizes for cost.

If they're that important to you, you can buy a relatively inexpensive expresso machine/milk frother and make them at home.

People can spend their money and time however they want of course, but I'm always astounded by the lines at Starbucks whether people standing in line or the drive-through.

I certainly use such places when traveling (though I try to go to local shops) but I've never especially understood the 8am stand in line for 20 minutes ritual.

Bank IT departments are filled with stats, Econ and financial math majors who couldn’t get front office jobs after school. They’re great for creating software that prices derivatives, but awful for reliability, security and all things engineering. Meanwhile, the decision makers just use Excel for all the important things. Things blow up all the time, it’s just that it rarely gets public. For whatever reason $200mm in wasted IT doesn’t generate the headlines like a $200mm trading mistake.
I'd just slap a GUI / audit logs on top. Show the intermediate data (the “wrangling”), show the computed similarities, show the conclusion (this met that threshold, and the other was equal, so it's category seven).
the watch doesn't give you connectivity anywhere your phone wouldn't. the people being rescued because they called from help from their watch are being rescued from areas with good cell coverage, they just didn't bring their phone with them.

it's a different story if they're offering satellite connectivity.
ML as in machine learning
What the heck is a vertical tab? Let's jump in the time machine and head back to when your printer has a printhead that moves horizontally across a single line, and it's slow enough to transfer data and physically move paper and printheads that every hack to increase throughput is worth it.

You get faster throughput by pre-printing your form template, and then using the computer printer to fill in the specifics. But you're still printing "new line, new line, new line" to skip to the next part of the form to fill out.

Enter vertical tabs.

You make a piece of plastic ribbon, line it up with the page, and cut holes where the form fields should go. Then you replace all those "new lines" with "spin the motor until you hit the next hole in the tape."

By analogy with horizontal tab (ASCII \09), you name the invention "vertical tab" (ASCII \0B). You add a backslash escape for it (\v by analogy with \t, \r, and \n).

And then you retire to your raised-floor server room, knowing that you have created a legacy that will out-live you, your printers, your building, your language, your hardware's architecture, even the encoding. (Unicode adopted ASCII's control characters, so \v is part of the Unicode standard -- and they added a printable symbol for vertical tab: ⭿).
Something other which is hard is writing performant queries. Using statements with subqueries/in syntax for example.

And I always forget which join does what.
You've basically just described duplicity with rclone as the backend (their term). I personally add duply in front for usability (it handles your includes, excludes, "profile", etc.). Restoring is easy with these 3 working in tandem, and you can manually extract the data as needed for SHTF - just gpg encrypted tarballs. duply runs duplicity who runs rclone in a soundbite.
Having actually worked with James Cooke Brown on Loglan (I wrote the first Yacc grammar for it), I have to say my recollection is that Jim's view was more tentative and nuanced than you've made it sound. While we certainly enjoyed finding things that seemed easier to say in Loglan than English, I don't recall him ever suggesting that there might be a thought that a non-Loglan speaker couldn't think.

I think it would be fairer to say that he was convinced that Whorfian effects were strong enough that there would be value in engineering a language to take advantage of them. But while value is somewhat in the eye of the beholder, I would say this hypothesis has not held up well either.

>In the 1990s, submarines powered by Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology entered operational use. Though the concept dated back to the 19th century and had been tested in a few prototype vessels, it was left to Sweden to deploy the first operational AIP-powered submarine, the Gotland-class, which proved to be stealthy and relatively long enduring. The 60-meter long Gotlands are powered by a Stirling-cycle engine, a heat engine consuming a combination of liquid oxygen and diesel fuel.

AIP is not new and has been operational for decades.
I don't know specifically about Android but Dermandar[1] have an SDK which claims Android compatibility (I use their iOS app which takes horizontal panoramas as the phone rotates.)

Also have a 360 solution SDK[2].

I think that there were several different peaks. In terms of UI, I'd say Chicago is the peak. In terms of internals, you're probably right, it was 2000. In terms of performance, I'd say it was probably Windows 7? Maybe it was just because I actually put together my own tower instead of pre-built?
Can it be linked to a personal server? I have been doing backup ( over SFTP ) to a rasberry pi with an external HDD for storage. So far its great but i can not view the photos, i have to download them to view them.
