It’s funny because I use Rider for work and I did have few issues that I reported but my experience is totally different. I got instant help in every case, usually developer jumping into the thread and people actually fixing bugs.
I just tried to have a "verbal" thought while imagining music playing and it's surprisingly impossible! The only way to have any "verbal" thoughts while playing music in my head is to imagine myself singing it to the melody, or by moving a body part, say a finger, to the imaginary music. The latter feels like delegating the music to the finger, freeing up my brain to think other thoughts. This is far stranger than I ever imagined, and it also might explain why I'm able to fall asleep much faster if I just try to imagine music playing and suppress the urge to tap along with my feet.
Or perhaps we could all stop using software written by people with the express intent of reducing our overall freedom?

It's easy, just don't use Google, Microsoft and Apple stuff.
I have a made a much smaller transition in my career. I majored in electrical engineering and got a job as an embedded software engineer but wanted to work on web-based tech almost immediately, better pay and easier to troubleshoot. My advice would be to not try to make to big of a leap right away because it can be hard to show potential employers that you know what you are doing.

I think the following would be good approach:

1) Get business job that does a lot of excel work, then while in the position, learn how to automate parts of your job with python (Get paid to learn software).

2) In your spare time, work on projects that move you closer to the role you ultimately want(i.e web development, mobile, etc).

3) After 6 months to a year, start looking for a job that is more programming focused but still on the business side of things. Something like working on dashboards or working with data for a finance department.

4) Then after a little more time, you should be able to transition into being a full blown software developer.

You will probably need to continuously work on small projects throughout this time. The projects don't need to be huge, they just need to be able to show an understanding of the underlying technology. For example, I got a job based on a simple mobile app project that used a serverless API. The project was unfinished but it demonstrated knowledge in serverless applications.

This approach probably isn't the fastest possible but it does have a high likelihood for success and will keep you employed throughout the process.

Good luck, I hope this advice helps and that all of this works out for you.
Everything has bias. What’s wrong with a leftist bias? Isn’t a complaint of bias in itself bias?

Github's Arctic Code Vault has a similar goal

"On 02/02/2020 GitHub captured a snapshot of every active public repository. Those millions of repos were then archived to hardened film designed to last for 1,000 years, and stored in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault in a decommissioned coal mine deep beneath an Arctic mountain in Svalbard, Norway." https://archiveprogram.github.com/

Why it benefits a conservative "minority" and why it is problematic? If people don't vote to either side how does it benefit one side more than the other and even if it does why is it a problem? Some side win at the end anyway and since those people don't care why would it matter which side won?
It’s amazing to me to hear the shift in American accents over time. I’ve very recently listened to some home videos of my mother talking in the early 80s and her accent is similarly different in the way that they all were then. To me when I hear it everyone sounds like they’re from a Woody Allen movie in their speech patterns. It’s not just word pronunciation, but also the cadence that has changed. I’d love to know how/why that happens.
Smart TV's are pretty silly; why would I install all my apps and logins on something attached to wall in one place? Smack in the middle of the age of mobile computing?

You can put your streaming box into your pocket and take it anywhere where there is a HDMI panel. For instance, when there is no pandemic, you can take it to a hotel room in another country. Depending on geographic restrictions, you can view all your regular content.

One thing that is very important to me is that my livingroom streaming box has its own audio out. Bluetooth would be okay; in my case, I use a 1/8" jack: even better. That goes straight to a stereo amp.

What this lets me do is turn off the TV while listening to audio-only material, like music. The streaming box doesn't care that the TV is off; it keeps streaming audio to the speakers. Once I introduced this practice, my wife takes advantage of it all the time, to play music for the kids without the distracting screen.

Can smart TV's do this at all? Completely power down everything related to the screen, but keep audio going?
In my mind advanced packaging competes more directly with making circuit boards that have more chips on them than it does with making chips that have more elements on them either by making the chips bigger or the elements smaller.
True, but torrents et al make you a peer, so you're also distributing, not just saving a copy locally. At least that's how I've always understood it in terms of legal risk.

But yeah, VPN has (so far) been enough for me to avoid being low hanging fruit when torrenting something I don't have a license to "distribute" while seeding.
There is both value and risk in highly personalized social scoping. The largest risk IMO is epistemic closure, which at large scale is corrosive to society. A platform which has the effect of enabling frictionless epistemic bubbles for everyone is harmful, not beneficial.

This is a systemic risk of decentralization in all of its forms, too, really. At its most extreme, a world comprised of arbitrarily many self-governed communities is a dystopia.

This is another reason we need to be fighting for economic reform. Divorce will never be pleasant, but ensuring economic self-sufficiency for everyone, at least finances will be out of the picture in these separations. Another way for us to create a society that supports men.

Likewise, I've attempted many self-published novels, some with high praise from independent readers, and found nearly all to be of miserably poor quality - Andy Weir being the sole exception.

Even if you have the bones of a good story, even if you're a talented writer, a good editing process can transform your work from an unreadable mess to an actual solid novel.

I used to quite like BT control of the TV back when my kids were babies. Advance warning though, these are going to be pretty niche use cases…

I would feed them and they’d fall asleep in my arms but sometimes I would be terrified to move them in case they woke (and sometimes I’d just enjoy cuddling them as they slept). However the TV remote might have been too far to reach, whereas my phone was always in my pocket.

BT became useful again when they became older and started playing with the TV remote. It was always getting lost. Whereas my phone wasn’t.

> I think, however, we should be careful about anthropomorphizing. When the researchers wrote 'inspection of incorrect answers reveals that the model often makes mistakes such as not carrying a “1”', did they have evidence that this was being attempted, or are they thinking that if a person made this error, it could be explained by their not carrying a 1?

Occam's razor suggests that if you're getting errors like that it's because you're doing column-wise math but failing to combine the columns correctly. It's possible it's doing something weirder and harder, I guess.

I don't know what exactly you mean by "this was being attempted". Carrying the one? If I say it failed to carry ones, that's not a claim that it was specifically trying to carry ones.
> They don’t provide enough value, and no customer is willing to pay the associate price increases to the product to compensate the wage increase. If everyone agreed that paying $10 on a croissant was acceptable, then sure we could pay more, but it’s not purely the decision of the business owners.

> I’m aware that we could just increase prices, pay better wages, etc. But there’s a very real risk to the business when making a large price change. We sell to a lot of other businesses, and they are sensitive to price changes. So while I’d love to hire and pay people extremely well, we can’t simply decide to pay more and have it work.

I don't think your business model is viable.

You'll need to cut costs somehow. Time to re-negotiate your lease?

Reading this comment thread, it’s weird to me how entitled software developers seem to be about free tools. Is it really that insane to pay $100 (or whatever) for something you use all day every day?
FWIW if you're buying it with your own money, the individual subscriptions are much cheaper. They start at $150 or so for Ultimate, I think, and less than that for individual products. Then they get cheaper every year after that (loyalty discount), and you also get an offline key to use with the last version you subbed to even after your sub ends. All in all it's a very fair pricing model.

After 3 or 4 years, my annual resub for Phpstorm was like $60/yr. Upgrading to ultimate was like $30 more. Well worth the price.

I've tried vscode several times, once every few years. It's getting closer for sure but for now still requires a bunch of extensions and tweaking to approximate the feature set of IntelliJ.

Twitter started out as a way to organize protests via cellphone, TXT2MOB. Jack just used it to post a manifesto as an image of text because the platform cannot support long-form communication. It is not a medium for subtlety, complexity, or depth. Both statements are true. Your complaint has nothing to do with Twitter's failure as a substantial communication mechanism, and my point simply illustrates that failure. We're both right.
Yea, the thing is that, in my repo, I have added instructions on how to download a language and some description of it. I have maded so that anyone new to a language know where to download it, how the language is and an example of compilement
To be fair, the article says “find a friend” and not “find a professional proofreader”.

So I’d say this is comparable not to asking a photographer to shoot something for free, but to asking a friend (not necessarily a professional photographer) to something for free.
A couple second I guess? There's a blue PROSCAN screen that turns on first. Is that something people worry about? I guess if I was going to watch 30 seconds of TV, waiting 10 seconds would be something I'd consider important.
GIFs alone would take more than a week for a single person. I think you are severely underestimating the necessary complexity.
This is a really great idea, and I love the business model of selling future design work after you've already given your customer a bunch of value for free. I'd honestly consider having a pricing tab in the main menu that explains that - my one concern was that you'd have me fill out a whole questionnaire then try to charge me at the end before actually giving me the results.

We do not have to wait for a perfect political system in order to express the small amount of political power we have in this one.

I simply do not believe you if you think literally all politicians you can vote for are equidistant from your views and desires.

Nobody is smart, careful, or powerful enough to wholesale rig elections in the U.S, if that's what you're going to say next.

If you really care about changing the politicians you get to vote for, then the easiest way to help change that is to hold your nose and vote in every election.

Setting up a reverse proxy is a good way to access the server or container but I would recommend that nobody do this. I did a quick look through of the code on github and I would strongly advocate against exposing this server to the internet at this time even if it were situated behind a reverse proxy with an encrypted connection. The code is immature and not particularly well hardended, many error messages just spew out to Console and catch clauses are empty/non-logging and don't handle the error. There were several places in the repository pattern that gave me pause, and whilst there was only a limited number of ExecuteCommand invocations wrapped in a helper function, that is not to say there isn't a way to ExecuteCommand or perform other attacks. A malformed PDF, CBR or epub could easily fuzz this server. A VPN connecting to the server, or at the very least, symmetric challenge/response HTTPS with a client key requirement on the reverse proxy, with the server running in an isolated Docker container is the only way I'd expose this service.

P.S. I know you are the author of the code and not trying to state anything about the code, but merely that I would be careful exposing it to the internet at this time.
This sounds crazily like science fiction. The TV wants to live so will do anything to stay alive. Isn't this what HAL did to the guy Dave in the end?
TCP/IP is not part of "the web".
> Night-time driving, bad weather, icy roads, bumper-to-bumper traffic: these are all situations in which some algorithms can outdo humans in terms of safety. Faster reactions, better vision (beyond what human eyes can see), and unlimited 'mental stamina' can make a big difference in safe driving.

To be clear we are talking about CV which relies on passive optical sensing in the visual spectrum through cameras, not radar or lidar or IR or multi-spectral sensors.

Within this context, your statement is incorrect. A typical camera’s dynamic range is orders of magnitude lower than the human visual dynamic range. Ergo a camera sees a lot less at night compared to a human and what it does see is a lot more noisy. Note that this is the input to the detection, tracking and classification stages, the ouput of which feeds into the control loop(s). It doesn’t matter how good the control system is, it cannot avoid what the vision system cannot see.
A lot of positives in the comments so far, I'll chime in with at least one negative that I'm not entirely confident with, but here goes.

A startup's branding is an early indicator of a teams commitment and skill. Even with todays Bootstrap themes I sometimes get fooled into thinking a product or service has dedication behind it when it turns out to be a smoke screen to test the market for interest. This kind of service accelerates this effect; now the ones who do commit and carry the skill and experience to pull off a successful startup will be competing against - as was already mentioned in this thread - personal projects or founders with no regard or respect for branding. What if the tables were turned: "Got a great marketing team but no interest in features or solving a real problem? Our AI can fix that for you!". Should such a team succeed?

I said I wasn't entirely confident about this, because I also realise this is what progress looks like and it is a natural step forwards in the direction we're headed. But is it a destination we want to reach?
But does digital signage have good panels like "real" TVs? Eg. the high end oleds with deep blacks and stuff?
Observability isn't just a rebranding of Monitoring, it's Monitoring + making it the most actionnable possible via standardization.

Specifically, how to make the sum of all monitored "pillars" more useful than each of them individually.

3 major pillars being:

- Metrics (whether application or higher-level of the stack, like OS)

- Logs (whether structured or unstructured)

- Traces

Observability is these major pillars and how to easily "jump" from one to another to very quickly identify the root cause of an issue. I.e. go Metrics <-> Logs, Logs <-> Traces, or Metrics <-> Traces,

For instance, with good Metrics, one can easily figure out & get alerts when there is a large spike of 500 errors. But when Metrics & Logs can work together, one can easily see the exception from stack trace that are emitted with those 500 errors.

Similarly, with good Metrics, one can easily figure out that the frontend service latency p90 has increased by 5x. But with Metrics & Traces working together(for instance via Exemplar[1]), one can look at a bunch of the traces that have a very high latency, and identify the upstream service responsible for this increase.

With Monitoring only, you could get a nice Metrics solution in place, with fancy alerting rules, but all it was good at is informing you "Something bad is currently happening". With a good "Observability" setup, you should also be able to change it to "Something bad is currently happening and the root cause is right here."

This has been a major issue in the UK in terms of policing human trafficking. Apparently, police were afraid of busting Islamic human trafficking operations because they might be accused of or stoke Islamophobia.

I assumed that because this article was by the Telegraph that this happened in the UK, but it's in Canada... I am kind of ashamed of being Canadian these days, to be honest.
I love this, but the problem is discoverability. Not sure how I would find my next book on here.
It's usable in isolation, but at least the last time I used it, it did not fit the parent post's criteria for "compatible-enough that they are realistic options"; it did break document layouts when exchanging work to/from people using MS Office.
How about the remote control?

My dumb TV's remote is so simple, it has room for a dedicated button for each HDMI input. I don't have to go through any on-screen widget to pick an input: just hit a physical button on the remote dedicated to going to that HDMI input.

Cycling through picture modes is just a button also.

Never enter menus? What if you'd like to adjust something related to the display; sharpness or something.
It's fine to disagree with the linked argument, but you actually have to do so. This is them presupposing that "securing Slack for [their] customers" requires DNSSEC -- it's not engaging with the argument at all.
Yes, but aluminum oxidizes rapidly yet this oxidation process does not produce significant heat and light. So in this context, the independent heat/light requirement makes a difference!

> I truly think we couldn't launch something like the email protocol these days and have it gain traction...

Sadly it's worse than you expect here. Enter ElasticSearch.
The company behind the innovation you propose will piggy-back on open source projects (Lucene), add a novelty to it (clustering) and choose a permissive open-source license to encourage contributions. Once hitting a significant market penetration threshold, the project then will move to a mixed-source, enterprise license model with intentionally-crippled community versions (think Neo4j, JFrog, etc).

ElasticSearch isn't even alone here, it's just the most obvious example. I've actually been insisting for a long time that we need an Apache-licensed standard solution for clustering generic applications...something useful enough that anyone can connect part A & part B to get "clustered Lucene" instead of "ElasticSearch". Something reasonably deployable (read: is monitorable, has RBAC) without massive licensing costs (read: Neo4j). Not an easy problem, for sure.
The comment you replied to says "covering it up to the extent they did" which would indeed be a theory about a conspiracy, yes.
>Why it's worth caring about this at all? So what if Chromium is the only engine, it would make things easier for developers after all.

It sure would, but here just as in many areas of tech, developer convenience is diametrically opposed to what's good for users.
I haven't worked with ERD for quite some time, but back when I did I used
SQL Power Architect: http://www.bestofbi.com/page/architect

It's a java GUI application, offered via open core model (community version is GPLv3 licenced, and you can buy extensions and support), but the community version should be quite useful.

Wrt scripting, I expect that you can import schema of existing database and if I recall correctly, one could theoretically reuse the xslt transformations (which implements export features) outside of the app to eg. convert xml with the ERD diagram into html or sql script outside of the app (which could be useful for CI/CD).
