Where is it that they are "pontificating"? They're calculating how long and how far self-driving cars need to drive before we can accept they're safe.

If a journalist receives classified material, is that different than if the journalist coordinates the acquisition of that classified material, or offers resources to aid in the acquisition of that classified material, or participates in the placement of resources to gain access to those classified materials...?

I think that's the difficult part of this, right? It's a spectrum with many levels of gradation, that each imply different levels of legality and illegality.
> Chalk’s purpose is to color things printed to the terminal. Unless it’s performance is atrocious, which I doubt, it doesn’t matter unless a ridiculous amount of data is printed.

Chalk is downloaded 15 millions per day.

We probably can multiply how much time has wasted from 15 millions run per day. It matters collectively.

Are you saying people don't package the terminal app when written in Node.js?

It matters in some cases, and it doesn't matter in some.

Chalk maintainers try to brush off these improvements, which seem like bad intents, tbh.

> 3rd party libraries where someone chose a different standard because that's their preference

C & C++ don't have a standard style but Python and JavaScript definitely do. And Rust and Go and I would guess most projects. Find me a popular library in one of those languages that doesn't use the standard style.
I'd only be OK with third party screens being OK after being prompted and allowed explicitly by the AppleID user.

I wish https://frame.work/ made a phone. I (and the world) need serviceable phones. I've replaced screens and batteries on phones so much more often than on laptops over the last decade. Sadly that's been coming to an end with how glued together everything is now.

A phone with a module slot to add a mini-jack, sd card, or hdmi out would be awesome.
Shapps (our transport secretary) is saying this isn't Brexit related. He told BBC Today: “Not only are there very large and even larger shortages in other EU countries like Poland and Germany, which clearly can’t be to do with Brexit, but actually because of Brexit I’ve been able to change the law and alter the way our driving tests operate in a way I could not have done if we were still part of the EU."

I'm completely in agreement with you though. Without Brexit I don't think it would be anywhere near this bad (however utterly irrational it may be).
Hang on, on the iPhone X at least you had to peel the stuff glued onto the notch with a heat gun to replace the screen. Has this changed?
I worked for a company a few years back and we had a project to add a feature to our product (a dashboard for small businesses to manage their listings on Yelp, Citysearch, Foursquare, etc). The new feature would let them create a promotion like 10% off, post it to their listing pages, and let customers redeem using a QR code.

We planned out all the epics (create promotion flow, promotion landing page, redeem flow, etc) and sprints. I think it was six 2 week sprints, or about 3 months.

Then the scope creep happened. We agreed on just a "send now" button in the designs, but marketing decided that a scheduling feature was necessary. Somehow we got bogged down building the scheduler and doing timezone calculations (e.g. what if a business located in Pacific time has an owner in Eastern Time who is traveling to Central time, when should a promotion scheduled for 6pm actually get posted?).

In the end we ended up taking twice the estimated time for a feature that was only used by 0.2% of paying customers (it turns out that businesses either already have a coupon system or they don't want one at all).
Yes, this kind of upkeep is definitely required. Replacing little things as they break and keeping an eye out for issues. Old things require this upkeep, which is a different thing from rebuilding, replacing, or upgrading. But the goal of upkeep is to keep the thing in good shape, and usually without any visible change at all, rather than transforming it into something different (assumedly better, but not really). Upkeep is preservation, conservation. We've somehow forgotten how to do that for the vast majority of things.

> If you can't prove something, it is treated as false.

Maybe I'm being excessively literal in interpreting the phrasing here, but that doesn't seem like how I would describe classical logic? There are plenty of cases where neither a thing nor its negation can be shown in some system which is based on classical logic (I'm sure you are well aware of this fact, so I'm probably just misinterpreting you by being too literal).

But yes, I also share the sentiment that, for ordinary/day-to-day reasoning, classical logic is substantially more intuitive than intuitionistic logic, and makes things simpler.

Can I think of a precise way to say the thing that I imagine you must have meant by that?

In both classical logic and intuitionistic logic, if by assuming something you can derive False, then you can prove the negation of the thing. So that's not the distinguishing thing. If by assuming the falsehood of something you can derive False, in classical logic you can use that as a proof of the thing. (double negation elimination), while in intuitionistic logic you only get the double negation.
This, I think at least mostly describes the difference (though not all the like, implications of it), but I'm not sure how to make it into something similar to "If you can't prove something, it is treated as false."

Though, that statement does remind me of the idea of a/the Constructible universe in set theory..

> Assange received classified material and published it.

This gets repeated a lot but is not what Assange is charged with. He didn't just "receive" classified information. He's alleged to have not only communicated with Manning to direct her to grab specific information and tried to help her break into systems.

He'd have a much better case if he had just been a passive publisher of information. You can't be involved in a crime and then claim journalistic protections after the fact.

Assange is not a journalist. He's a wannabe spymaster and muckraker. Zero percent of his case has anything to do with real journalists as none of them would have participated in the exfiltration of classified documents.

The most important things I've learned is that the system has to be (1) self-maintaining (e.g. security updates, rotate logs, alerting monitors so safe to ignore), (2) super easy to make and deploy a change. This one consists of a README that word-for-word works so you don't have to think. Minimizing steps with push-to-github auto-deploy is great, as is an easy setup for a hot-reloading local dev.

Following those two points, I've been able to use whatever languages/tools tickle my interest with little impact on maintenance effort. Dependencies are few, but not minimal, pinned to exact versions. FYI, these have run the range of Vue/TypeScript, Node, Go, Java/Kotlin, Clojure, F#, and Php, with typically MySQL (sometimes multi-master).
You mean like Project Ara? If google couldn't make it profitable idk how anyone smaller could.
In the problems of this article's perspective is a fixed mindset. That we have our defaults and starting places but cannot expand beyond them. Even (as one has in an [IMO] ideal life partner) given a customized guide into foreign passions and interests. Yet this is step one because the next and following stages are exploring and creating inside that connection and sharing, supporting both the contributed growth of the individuals but also of the shared endeavor and continuous creating.

I've been in a relationship not far from the early stages of what is described. Shifting towards what I describe above was contained by physical and emotional violence. So far as I can tell those were echoes of her past traumas, not to excuse. I can empathize though... The task of next levels growth is a challenge that rocks us at levels we are not normally thinking of and in facing we find nearly no guidance to assist us in our journeys.

What a pregnant and rich context into which a shift could unlock untold riches of two deeply sophisticated minds with much to offer and deeper challenging commitments to forge. There are other options, clearly, but are there, really?

[To be slightly less obtuse: the final sentence shifts from possiblity to desirability which is semantic slipperiness for which I apologize... but not enough to rephrase, apparently]
Swift 5.4 and 5.5 made some major improvements to incremental builds (rebuilding fewer files after a change) and pretty much every release since 5.1 or so improved full module rebuild performance (doing less work for a file that actually has to be rebuild). But it can be hard to perceive small cumulative improvements when everyone’s codebase keeps getting larger as well.
Canada and Australia have point-based systems that roll out the welcome mat for skilled workers. Unlike the H-1B, these systems are not set up as indentured servitude for wealthy tech companies.

Too bad the US can't have the same... because of corporate lobbyists as well as anti-meritocracy factions on both right and left, who serve as patsies to the rich by protesting any change to the current system.
Maybe that's just a proxy vote blaming the Labour party. Which are to blame (at least much more than 33%), because they're not producing a viable alternative to conservatives, hence allowing them "political monopoly".

Why not?

Uhh, yes... What you said is certainly absurd. It has no relation to my comment, however.

H1-B visas are being used very directly to drive down wages. US workers are fired from their jobs, replaced by H1-B visa "contractors" and left to go find other jobs, or sometimes offered the option to apply for their old jobs, at reduced wages.

One of the stated requirements for H1-B visas is that they will not replace a US worker, but that is being quite flagrantly violated. The program is constantly abused and needs to be completely ended and replaced.

There are driver shortages in Australia too, where people over 70 who've retired have to come back to work.

> Because it's being used to drive wages down and American workers are getting fired from their jobs.

America controls something like 80% of the world software market (depending how you measure it) with ~5% of the population. I’m very skeptical that this would remain true if domestic companies were restricted from hiring the top talent in the world.

There are arguments for and against immigration (full disclosure, I’m an immigrant), but the “steal our jobs” rhetoric is based on the false counterfactual that you could get rid of immigrants but keep their jobs.
Can you list some them? Bonus points if outside Western Europe.
It does provide an interesting A/B opportunity. You have all these countries in one economic union, and one that was in it for a long time, and now there's an opportunity to compare the depth of crises.

We're also having trouble finding drivers here in the US, but we're also ground zero for the app delivery gig thing and that's probably giving the worse-paid truck drivers options. I know there's been an explosion of app delivery services across Europe. Could that be a contributing factor?
Right, if people are not actively doing it they won't be able to start doing it right away and those who are doing it hardly have any reason to leave and take the temporary opportunity.
IMHO the expected solution would be that the multinational companies who have drivers cruising e.g. from Spain to Poland can use the same drivers to run some UK deliveries as well. They go to a foreign country to do that job all the time, and it doesn't matter much for them if that foreign country is Spain, Sweden or UK.
Check out Fairphone; they do a similar thing but for phones. https://www.fairphone.com
So explain to me why Tesla themselves put out a video that featured the text:

> The driver is only in the seat for legal reasons. The car is driving itself.

and talk to me about "it's only marketing, you should understand".

Oh, and as the owner of three Audis over my life, there is NO material from Audi that calls it a "Quattro Engine".

It's the "Quattro all wheel drive system".
That’s more than a lot of UK developers.
Those statistics are pretty relevant when it comes to fatalities, which are more likely to occur at highway speeds. Total accidents, yes, self driving cars aren't generally operating in city traffic yet. Those same resources will note that the most common accident for Teslas is being rear-ended by another vehicle, which is also relevant.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that this technology is under active development, with a theoretical target being eliminating the vast majority of car-related deaths. Nobody is arguing that it's already superior, though it may already be close in certain circumstances.
Can you tell more? I would be interested how you can get management to let go of regular estimations, and how you still delivered.
