Given how much confusion the current behavior seems to have caused, the best course of action seems to have been a simple:

"Listening on port $PORT.
Warning: failed to bind localhost:5000. Start process with --port=$X to specify a different port"

That would be much more helpful behavior and messaging than simply failing, especially since it seems people don't know that they can control the port, and start looking to disabling OS services rather than changing a port...
We already had that with Solarwinds just last year
For fingerprint it is "using several close-range photos in order to capture every angle" - to get PIN, I need one angle and probably not even close-range of video and even weird angle if I have to sneak up onto someone in a metro or in a coffee shop.

Based on my dealings with replacing random laptop panels for family members a 4k panel tends to be well within $50 of a 1080p one and supplied by the same manufacturers/distributers so I don't think it's related to price. Could very well have to do with keeping the supply chain and parts list simple though.
On average I've found projects with explicit CoC's to be more toxic than those projects without Coc's.
> One of the advantages of a language like Erlang is that it mandates immutable data, and can both optimize for that and give the developer an easier time reasoning about where changes can and can’t occur.

Isn't that just the keyword "const" in C++? Its not perfect but if you need const the keyword really helps ensuring you 'pass' the const concept all the way down your data to its roots.

You can also have immutable data in Java. Instead of implementing both "setFoo" and "getFoo", you simply implement "getFoo".

Pre-1920 is roughly in-line with average, 1920-1970 looks to be above average but could be argued to be within normal range of variation, post-1970 is clearly above normal range of variation.

Your concern seems to be (1) that there is some negative connotation to the word "anomaly", (2) that the chart labels small differences anomalies rather than just large differences, despite small differences being possibly within a natural range of variation, and (3) that a baseline has been arbitrarily and improperly chosen.

These are all non-issues. The word "anomaly" as used here is clearly defined, and means deviation from a baseline. It is not being used in a pejorative or leading sense. In any case, the data is clear - there is a larger deviation towards higher temperatures, over many years, without historic precedent.

What you call an arbitrary average is not arbitrary. It is chosen for a clear reason - the temperature rise is due to industrial emissions which did not exist prior to the period covered by this chart, and at that point global temperatures were more stable than they are now by around an order of magnitude.

Nobody should be confused or misled by the use of the word anomaly here. The context is obvious to anyone paying attention to the science. I doubt you're confused by the data as presented, so I really don't understand why you're concerned about the title.

If it helps, think of the chart as showing which years actually are "anomalies". You seem to have a vague definition of an "anomaly" as something like a significantly large change from a specific average - presumably the temperatures over the last 1000 years would be sufficient.

I feel like you're expecting this chart to show more than it does, it's really very simple, and in no way misleading.
"Facebook flipped a switch, favoring comments and reactions over shares, and suddenly a food blogger from Utah became the largest publisher in the country, if not the world."

While the firehose volume is disproportionate, the direction wasn't random. Whoever is copywriting these messages is an artist, drawing an outstanding number of responses. I felt the urge to react when I read them and bravely restrained myself. There's a lot of power in asking someone the right personal question.
> Men must complete a three-mile run within 18 minutes to get a maximum score on that portion of the PFT, while women younger than 40 have up to 21 minutes.

Former active duty Marine here. I'm on your side in this 100% for several reasons I won't go into, but the 18 and 21 minutes you stated is off by quite a bit. It's roughly 28 (male) and 32 minutes (female) for 3 miles - it may have changed by a minute or two since I've been out. This still aligns with the basic premise of your statement.

For reference, 3 miles at 18 or sub-18 minutes is getting to an elite level of running, while low to mid 20's is average.
I'm pretty sure that the brights (are those the same as mist?) are activated through the normal "pull" action on a stick; but I don't live in an area that gets mist with any regularity so it might not have ever come up for me.

I've never even heard of a situation where someone needed to turn on defrosters while driving; I've certainly only ever turned it on before driving (and then it stays fine).

I can see the rear passenger airco, but only if you only have rear passengers, since reaching up there isn't going to work.
It used to be that senior or staff level coders would intimately know the platforms, languages, and algorithms they used.
This is where the JetBrains pricing model is exactly right. If they sold licenses, people would upgrade every few years, after some needling^W marketing. Instead, they sell as a subscription with the option to cancel and keep only the features available as of your last renewal. So someone that would upgrade every release pays about the same average cost and gets a more continuous flow of new features, someone that would buy once can just buy once, and everyone gets the optionality to stop paying and 'keep' what they've already paid for.
The big competitors to lithium ion right now are LFP (lithium iron phosphate) and LTO (lithium titanate oxide). Neither have quite the power density of current lithium ion cells, but they're not that far off. LFP is quite popular right now for home storage and RVs. It is not nearly as prone to fire as lithium ion. LTO is even safer yet, it usually doesn't even pop the case if you abuse it to the point of destruction. LFP is improving density so it may be viable soon for EVs (in the US; in China they already use LFP), which manufacturers would love. Making the news for fires is really undesirable.
> Alternatively, we had a near-miss: given there was a solar maximum around 1972

I think that by the time they actually built flyable hardware for that mission, they'd learn to properly shield the crew. They could at least hide behind the propellant tanks.

Except that the 3rd stage would be empty by then :-(

BTW, it'd be a cool movie, even if a bit Apollo 13-like.

> Alas, the Shuttle turned out to be a white elephant with a couple of lethal design flaws

Indeed. The Shuttle shouldn't even called "reusable", but merely "fixable" or "rebuildable", if you got lucky.

In any case, I'd have loved more Skylab workshop launches and the AAP permanent lunar presence. The modules were huge compared to ISS ones. It was a tragic loss to have Skylab fall to Earth because they didn't have the money to build something to boost it up a little.
Really disingenuous. Even if you yourself don’t value civility and just being a good human being, a toxic team member may easily cause a net loss of good code, no matter what sort of 10x engineer they are themselves, due to the opportunity costs they incur.
Well said on the soft 'intimidation'.

Anecdotally, I've experienced better adherence to processes since the shift to remote work since communication is mostly written instead of oral communication.
It's an odd choice of phrasing. Leaving them to themselves is something we can, and almost certainly should, do.

Leaving them in peace isn't really an option. It's a violent situation. Arguably one we provoked and mismanaged, though it was certainly there before us. Regardless of our fault, it's just weird to try to say "leave them in peace" because they won't.

The article is optimistic that they will. I hope so, for their sake. And for the world's sake and the sake of its marginalized people, I hope it turns out better than many believe it will. There's certainly nothing we can do to make it better.
To quote Louis Rossmann, "Schematics or Die"
You can't use illegal surveillance in court, but you can show it to the judge who issues the search warrant ( or however you call it )

In exchange, the police staff, their corporate friends and their political masters can know what you are doing in the restroom when you take a roll of toilet paper with you, or when you negotiate a business agreement in a bar.
It should all be optional. There should be no x days / week requirement. Management should be able to call everyone into a physical meeting room when necessary, but outside of that there's I'm not sure what x days / week serves.
The rest of the people work for the government, not the corporation? All they need is someone inside the company whose job it is to keep other people inside the company from finding out. It's the same model as police use for informants and intelligence services use for espionage.

It's also kind of pointless to talk about how to falsify a class of thing we have affirmative evidence is happening. When we found out about PRISM, the heads of the companies said they didn't know anything about it. So either they were lying or their subordinates successfully kept it a secret from them.

Moreover, the interesting question isn't whether it's happening right now. It's that given we know it can happen, how do we prevent it from happening? For example, by using software with published source code that runs on your own device instead of someone else's.
You should see your memory as a library of functions, not a database of facts. Facts helps you answer test questions, library functions is how you solve problems.

Every piece of knowledge has things you can do with it, things that relates to it etc, understanding how to work with the knowledge is the important part to learn and what you don't really learn by just looking it up on the internet. Basically you build interfaces and connects them and create a large structure of things you can do and apply to all sorts of things.
You can absolutely outlaw math. Australia did it in their anti encryption bills that passed.

Now that math, logic and reason are outlawed, soon I expect ethics and metaphysics to also be outlawed. Of course these fundamental ideas still exist, but if you use them they’ll throw the book at you!

A nonsensical book full of gobbledegook.
> It felt like a lot of formality with no real benefit to either side.

Isn't the intent to benefit third parties though? I thought the point of pay transparency is to provide information to people who don't have the connections to know what the "real deal" generally is, so they can negotiate on an equal footing as other applicants when they have the opportunity.
Yes but you need to get the first job initially. And that step, it appears to me, has drastically changed in the past ten or so years. I have tried many years at this point, I love programming and could do it all day if I could, but have all but given up on the idea that I will ever get a job without some kind of schooling, or finding enough time in my 4HL to make something killer.

I change and revise my resume, try to showoff the little things I've made. I keep learning and making, but after many years I believe I have gotten two (rejection) emails back total. I have tried everything. I am so envious of the older people on here who talk about learning on the job.

If I ever can pay back the (humanities) degrees I already have, the first thing I will do is look to a CS degree, for both the desire for that pedagogy and the even bare chance for a job doing something I love.
This is a great reference, thanks for digging it up!
If you want further detail, look up Wickard v. Filburn. An activity taking place within one individual's property in a single state can be regulated under the interstate commerce clause, so long as a case is made that it affects interstate commerce. Sounds wild, and it is, but the dependency graph is such that we can't change that now without upsetting the whole cart.
One thing that bothered me when I interviewed at Google is how much they talked up the perks. Everything from free shuttle service to free food, to all of these "extracurricular" perks like movies, laundry/drycleaning, hair cuts, etc. The campus felt designed to suck more work hours out of you.

If I go play ping pong for an hour, do I now owe that hour to the company later? If I'm working past 5, will I be inclined to keep working because I can just go grab a free bite to eat later?

My current employer offers a few perks. We have pool tables, video games, etc. But you'll pretty much never find people using them because they're busy working. Seems like mostly a recruiting tool and little more. That's why I'm perfectly fine staying home and not utilizing the cool office space. I didn't use that stuff anyway.
So Fauci and the NIH funding gain of function research on corona viruses in Wuhan because USA banned it is just a huge coincidence huh? Bill Gates and Fauci predicting the pandemic in 2016 and 2018 was also a coincidence correct? Also head of WHO predicted pandemic same time frame. Also a coincidence? All on video mind you.
...why?

I mean - I guess it's "cool"

But I can cmd-tab with the best of them ... and my switch time is exceptionally fast
At my last W-2 job they made me come into the office four days a week even though I had a remote work job. I supported specialized internal application software for three departments spaced roughly 500, 1000, and 2000 miles away from me. I never in my entire term at that job went onsite, they didn't see the point of paying all the money. I never physically met more than 5 or so people I worked with.

This seems "normal" at very large megacorporations if you work at a higher level. I knew Scala and Play framework (trendy and cool at the time; does anyone still use?) so I got shoved into the role; at least they didn't force me to move to one of the operations sites; presumably the other two would squeal too much if the third "got me".

This seems to be how most major corporations work; the "active directory genius" (not me..) is in charge of all AD servers worldwide; does it really matter which city he lives in if he's responsible for servers all over the world? Same for "the woman who's really good at docker" or the guy whom actually understands DNS.

For years I wasted a lot of time, money, and gasoline to drive 20 miles into work just to work on server software 1500 miles away all day long. May as well stay home.
"U.S. lawmakers call for regulatory capture to further benefit the donor classes, because they deeply care about your privacy..."

Are these not the same politicians that passed mass surveillance legislation?
Not a book, but I truly enjoy this guy’s videos: https://youtu.be/h7apO7q16V0. I usually watch them while eating lunch. He does a truly fantastic job.
That's funny. I read it that way too.
It is not the same. During the Clipper era email was distributed. In 2021 communication is centralized. EU leaning on Apple/Google/Microsoft/Facebook/Snapchat/Tiktok will make secure communication a pipe dream
Maybe another state disconnect? In California, county jails are run by Sheriff's departments, not by corrections. Whether a Sheriff's department requires a degree and how long the application process takes varies wildly by county.
Django seems to add too much magic for me. It is mostly manage.py this manage.py that.

I can't grok it completely. All the books that I read on it skipped the architecture part.

Maybe there is a good guide to Django architecture - the big picture?

PS I am rather experienced in Python (Numpy, Pandas, Plotly, Flask, SQLAlchemy, FastAPI, BeautifulSoup are my bread and butter)
I have no doubt that if most people lived next door to the office they wouldn't mind going into the office and might even prefer it. The sad reality for Apple and any company in the Bay Area: house prices near work are insane and commute times to the 'burbs are crazy long. Also, BART has gotten much less safe over the last few years, so some people feel they must drive.

All of Apple's justifications mean nothing in the face of the above.
This is very similar to academics and published papers. Most other labs aren't really working on things that similar to another lab, and so techniques have to be modified and not just directly lifted.

Some point to that as an aspect of the replication crisis, but it's really just the nature of identifying and abstracting common elements out of specific goals.
untested but something like

#!/bin/bash
for line in url_list; do
youtube-dl '$line'
sleep `echo $((1 + $RANDOM % 60))`
done;
What drama exactly? Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop now, I stopped using reddit and twitter a few months ago.
I have never, ever had to open a menu for wipers. The sticks work and the button is big, obvious, on the "home" screen, and not on the part that changes, so IDK what you're talking about.
I'm glad CO passed this law, but this post really shows how hostile employers are to job seekers and employees. It also highlights why we really need federal action on this to provide the intended benefits to them.
You thought it through, investigated the issue, came to a conclusion, created a hypothesis, and tested a solution. Now, the cycle seems to be read a problem ticket, see what other people have done, copy code, close ticket.
What are you talking about? Do you really think that the king of England had a better view into his subjects inner thoughts in the 18th century than literally anyone can currently do by pulling up anyone’s social media presence? You don’t need to read private text messages to know what people are up to. They tweet, post on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok about it all the time.
I'd call my statement an opinion, not a fact, but we can add an "In general," in front of what I said and note that there'll be exceptions from certain standpoints.

I think those exceptions are very limited, though. There seems to be an implicit judgment here that the success of the project is usually more valuable than the well-being of the people who are helping to complete it, and in the vast majority cases of I disagree. Unless literal life and death are on the line, it's hard for me to see it as worth it.

As an individual, my rule is pretty hard and fast and that's why I phrased it so definitively. I don't really care how much money is being offered to me or how cool or important the project is, and I don't really care how critical the person is to the project. If the choice is "allow the toxic person to be toxic or allow the project to fail," I'll vote with my feet and I'll leave.
Monitor unrest, sure, probably a fair bit.

The rest of it is likely the "ability to just pull up data on anyone at any time just cause".

The old school, "we know where you live, what you said to your husband, and that you had marmalade jam with your toast this morning" spy insider knowledge gambit is a strong manipulation tactic whenever you need to convince someone to "just comply".

Having inside knowledge of mundane things that are assumed to be private hold a lot more sway than you'd think. It can make threatening ordinary people a lot easier. Do governments do this often? Probably not, but when they want to interrogate someone, I can almost guarantee they like to be able to pull up everything private they can as leverage in an interrogation.

Is this useful for national security? Probably not, but since when do governments actually care about national security when they can roll around on a power trip and feel big and godly?
Any good cartoonists out there? We may soon need the EU equivalent of this: https://i.imgur.com/D93heEo.jpg
Zig and Nim are good bets. Both are pushing the state of the art forward on what is possible with system programming languages. D is probably another good bet.
They're not paid to care.
There are millions of fake social profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc that use fake generated profile photos, friend networks among both themselves and gullible real users, and automated markov chain style comments on popular content. It's a self-perpetuating system and an effective way to see inside the walled gardens.
Even the Stasi didn't manage to get everything, but they made a very impressive effort and a Stasi like entity with today's technology may well achieve the panopticon that they were shooting for able to suppress dissent before it hatched into something actionable. Their main tool? Snitches.

The tools we have made are quite dangerous for this and that's one more reason why we as the techies responsible for the creation of such tools should ensure that this can never ever happen. It's also one the reasons why Phil Zimmermann is one of my personal heroes.

Apache Arrow Datafusion 6.0.0 release
That would be a "line feed" (0x0A) - Carriage return is (0x0D) (ascii values 10 and 13, respectively) the Mac/Windows conversion is the difference between CR and CR/LF

All I can guess is that in terminal, when that particular version of bash and OS interacted, it didn't go back to the start of line, and the CR was unprintable, so it all ended up on the same line.

I'd expect to have seen something like what you describe with the line break, if it were a bare LF, but in my case, it wasa bare CR.
I doubt it's really the high-profile targets they're after though. It sounds more like they want to make this the bread & butter of policing. Having an AI looking over our shoulders to see if we're up to anything bad. Of course not just the content of our conversations, but GPS locations etc. Basically like Apple was proposing but here they are already targeting a much wider range than just CSAM.

Because if it was only the high-profile cases the intelligence services already have huge permissions in terms of hacking, infiltration etc.
I'm curious where you get your information about speeding, because it kind of seems made up.

Speeding is tied to one third of traffic fatalities the last 20 years (https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/speeding), so of course speed limits are put in place in an attempt to increase safety on the road. There are plenty of arguments to be made about the best way to enforce speed limits, or ways to discourage aggressive driving (such as speeding), but there is little doubt that speeding is dangerous.
