International travel strikes me as the sort of thing where you'd want a paid enterprise subscription instead of an offline JS app, since you'd want numbers kept up-to-date. (Just look at all the airlines integrating entry/exit test/quarantine requirement iframes.)

$dayjob gives us a mobile app from International SOS, although certainly I think there's room to make the app prettier / faster / more tolerant of spotty internet.
Wow. So Toyota are just going to burn a generation of goodwill from their customers in one swoop?
I am under no obligation to be polite to people who willingly endanger their own children and everyone they come in contact with.

The time for compassion and understanding has long passed, these people are just being stubborn fools.
These are not child locks. Child locks prevent opening the door regardless of its locked state.

This is about whether pulling the door latch auto-unlocks the door, or if you have to unlock the door first before pulling the door latch.
In the comments he posts another interaction with a sales-person. Read his second reply... I'd be happy losing him too. (As a business owner I understand how we get spam like this all the time, and I almost always ignore it if it is clearly not targeted. If someone goes out of their way to list some real reasons why they like my company though, I would try to be a little nicer)
They do use CA glue directly on your body to do some bio patch work so the bulk ingredient is at least somewhat safe, though the medical grade stuff is crazy expensive and who knows what’s in the $1 tube as additives. (Like plastic, often but not always the chemicals of concern aren’t the main polymer but things added to it to improve its engineering qualities.)
This very much so.

On the other hand, even biology often uses rate codes which are inefficient and limited in what they can represent, compared to all those timing-sensitive codes, like latency codes, rank order codes, phase codes, pattern codes, population codes etc.

And when we look at the technical domain, event-based vision cameras spew out what could pass as spikes; but even in that area spiking networks have proven too limited compared to event-based algorithms that were only vaguely bioinspired. And this technology took about 20 years from conception to making a breakthrough on the market.

So the question is whether spiking networks are indeed the future of computation. But without doubt, the concept is very interesting academically. A bit like Haskell :D
I'm surprised they keep the kernel in the critical path, rather than driving the NIC from usersoace.
Exactly; as well, in some situations (cold Canadian Winter with an infant etc), remote start is higher priority than remote doors, or electric windows, etc. "Basic" function vs "Luxury" can get awfully relative awfully fast...

Ack! We were excited to see this. While not exactly the same, we're building (& shipping!) an RPi CM4 SATA carrier board as well, in the PiBox (https://pibox.io/). Just finishing up the final details of the metal case and shipping out the first circuit boards this morning!

I hope we'll see a huge increase in is-actually-a-real-computer-running-real-software IoT devices once the supply-chain issues start to get resolved. At any rate, we think there is a very bright future for home-hosting and IoT!

Be careful with those. Plenty of cheap ones have metal hammers that will simply bounce off the window like the window was rubber (I assume the cause is wrong metal used, or point not sharp enough). And this is assuming tempered glass.

When AAA tested 3 different hammers, only 1 of the three successfully broke tempered glass. All three punch style tools broke the tempered glass.

But a lot of car windows now have laminated glass. While the tools may be able to shatter the glass for those, they still stay in one sheet, (just like shattered windshields in most car, since those are laminated glass too). And it is really hard to break through that shattered but still intact sheet, with neither style of escape tool really being much help.
There is no way to reasonably charge a battery in a couple of minutes. Also the electric grid will not be able to sustain battery charging for all cars at night.
Last but not least, carrying a ton (1000 kg) of fuel ( battery ) is not a very clever idea. That's why, at least at the moment, hydrogen is the future.
I laughed out loud when I saw the last email on the page misspells Evan's name as "Even"- as someone named Evan who gets people misspelling my name that way constantly.
"...which in turn uses an internet-connected component called the In&Box that does all of the complex sensing and math needed to know when you’re about to eat shit..."

I sure hope that isn't a real-time operation happening "in the cloud" while riding. 1) Latency? Crashes happen fast. 2) Spotty service on back roads where motorcyclists like to be?

What is needed is a purely offline solution to this purely offline problem. Please someone make that and put these fools out of business.
> I think it's more ability to delay the gratification.

And that's a frontal lobe issue (and everything that influences that). My guess is that there's a media wide focus on the doings of the young (under 25yo) and their brains aren't done baking yet.
> You can use `.value()`

Which is bad at every level if resolution: it’s more verbose to do “the right thing” (obviously), it’s more expensive to do “the right thing” (because if you’ve properly checked you’re paying the check twice and praying the compiler can remove the redundant check), and it’s incompatible with other pointers to do “the right thing” (because pointers use ! And *).

So .value() it mostly worthless, if it’s being used it’s an assertion with overhead which can take down your program.

> all the people who wanted it for the purposes of eschewing exceptions, the crowd who wanted `std::optional` the most, would be getting the verbose code.

And nothing of value would be lost (except for it not behaving as a “standard pointer” anymore).
Without addressing deployment canaries, exponential deployments, exponential rollbacks, traffic steering, API load duplication to staging, IaaS/PaaS, 12factor apps, HA, scaling, fault injection, hot backups, cold (and tested) backups, DR/BCP, configuration management, CI/CD, monitoring, troubleshooting the entire stack, and SLAs, it doesn't seem to me like a professional-enough treatment to celebrate.
Which of the two responses do you find needlessly rude? To me they come off as curt certainly (which is a reasonable response to unsolicited mail), but not rude.
The wheels and stand on the mac pro stuff is weird but they are kind of in line with the pricing of the competing products. If you look at the cases for the iphone, all of the cases they sell in the Apple Store are pretty expensive, but all of them are quite good. If you go to a 3rd party store and look for things of the same quality, they cost the same. Good cases just cost a bit of money.

Now the lightning adapters I agree on. Those were absurd. But now they have USB-C on most of their products and they have dropped the cost of adapters quite a lot. The USB-C to AUX adapter contains a full DAC which is tested to be one of the best you can get, and it costs $9.
Yeah, I know, I got that! :-)

I didn't put in a lot of Win95, because it was before I went freelance. Then my work box ran NT 3.51, but a lot of the office ran W95 and I had to support it. So I did get quite a lot of experience on it.

Later on, though, I put in W98 & W98SE for people with cheap & nasty PCs that couldn't run NT, and I supported a lot of boxes that were out there.

It did have somewhat better driver support, yes, but every version of Windows ever has had better driver support than the preceding version.

It was not significantly more stable, and on low-end or heavily-loaded boxes, I'd say _less_ stable.

More types of software? About the same, I'd say. Better? On a narrow range of hardware, maybe -- things were changing fast then and by '99 or so new kit couldn't run 95 any more.

It was a gamers' OS.

The much-maligned WinME had better hardware support still -- for example, proper working Firewire support -- but by then everyone hated it. After a few updates it was a very stable release, it looked nice, it was a bit cleaner and faster to boot and to shut down, and it supported more memory.

There was a particular period when very cheap, or old, PCs couldn't usefully run Win2K let alone XP, which really wanted 256MB of RAM or more, a big fast DMA EIDE or UltraIDE hard disk and so on, when WinME could deliver a decent internet experience on a single-core box with between about 80 to 128 MB of RAM on the low end to say 192 MB on the high end -- kit which gave a rotten experience with 2K or XP.

But 98 wasn't a particularly sweet spot in my recollection.
Electronically, through the settings in the touchscreen panel on the dash. These are not child locks, but rather set the behavior of the door latch when the door is locked.
GM charges ~$15/mo just to use the remote start from their app. I would be fine paying a fee, but $15 is just insane.
It’s ok, because according to Crypto enthusiasts, non-reversible transactions are a good thing.
That’s not what I read. Starting the car with the key fob or previously known as “remote start” which you had to pay like 800$ for, is what the subscription is about.

You can still open the car with key fob in hand. And sit in and start the car with key fob in pocket.
This feature does not prevent you from unlocking the car. Just pointing your key at your car outside your building and turning it on in the cold.
The $465 million loan was given in April 2010. Tesla IPO'd in in June 2010 at a $1.7 billion valuation [1]. Maybe someone else would have given them the low-interest loan, we'll never know. We do know that this loan and the government subsidized EV tax credits helped them weather some very rough cashflow years.

Embargoes have a pretty terrible track record going all the way back into the mid-1990s. They were a bad idea before reverse engineering patches became de rigueur; they're a much worse idea now that exploit developers are heavily tooled up to analyze patches. As soon as you publish a fix for a vulnerability, you've effectively published the vulnerability.
Note if you do choose to pick it up: The author of Ender's Game is highly homophobic, to the point of helping funding the anti-gay-marriage side during the gay marriage rights battle in 2008.

On the other hand, it's an excellent book, and I recommend reading it.

I'm not telling you what to do, but personally I make it a point to get books like that used, if not borrowed.
You're right, I was too absolute in how I worded that. That said, I believe most widely used tests at least have a nonverbal portion. It's kind of a shame that we lump all IQ tests together; it's probably pretty easy for researchers to confirm their biases by using an inappropriate test.
The proper solution to SQL injection is parameterized queries, not input sanitization, to my knowledge.
> Workspace is NOT WindowMaker... Workspace is written from scratch

Kinda, but not exactly and for some reason the author has always been vague when it comes to that.

Nextspace's Workspace has been written "from scratch" in the sense that it is a new (sub)project, however it is meant to be the full desktop experience instead of just a window manager. The window management part however is based on a fork of Window Maker, you can find the relevant files (with their copyrights, etc) under Applications/Workspace/WM. The build system has changed to Nextspace's (which seems to be just GNU make) and some glue code with the rest of the system is made.

> In Slavic languages (i.e half Europe)

I'm not sure that's quite right. Europe is typically divided in 3: Slavic, Germanic and Romance. By my count the population of Slavic countries adds up to 280 million of Europe's 750 million people.
I almost always err on the "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetance". Howerver, the "standards" bodies ability to repeatedly make a complete pigs ear of every single interconnect system makes me assume the opposite.
Existing games companies were founded early in the industry and have the money and existing capital to leverage on PR, tooling, staff, etc. They also have a constantly influx of non-burned-out people, mostly interns, who want a Big Company on their CV. Whereas smaller companies are able to create good games, but can't throw people at problems in the same way. Worth noting that it's mostly only specific teams of developers that get treated as disposable, and not the marketing staff, HR, or other executive branches.
On the other hand, if you roll your own logging but import a dependency for something else (you generally can't roll your own everything) and that dependency uses log4j, isn't that strictly worse from a security perspective than just using log4j everywhere? Whatever the probability of any given logging utility exposing an RCE exploit, the probability that none of your logging utilities expose an RCE exploit decays exponentially to zero as the number of unique utilities you're using increases.
I’m not sure sales should have access to that information rather than support. Of course someone needs access to that information to make sure the service is working, but using that info in a sales pitch seems wrong.
Teachers do not make 150k in SF. The pay schedules are public [0].

If you’re comparing entry level professorship at UC Berkeley, then the highest paid position for a first-year teacher with the maximum number of extended education credits (since I assume you need a higher degree for professorship) is 69k.

Technologically speaking, I feel that OS X was a better choice (a more robust and developed platform). Qualitatively speaking, I loved everything about using BeOS—how snappy it was and the way applications felt like they could be thin extensions to the filesystem.

However, as someone whose youth involved waaaay too many hours tweaking files called .fvwmrc, I knew that looks are important, but skin deep. Hard to say which aesthetic I preferred. BeOS’s stock blue background, golden yellow tabs, and simple icons always made me feel “happy” even if they didn’t feel as staid and sophisticated as NeXT.
car companies are slowly becoming phone companies. Hope we don't see days when we'll have to subscribe to a plan to use the car.
As obvious as it seems now that you say it, I think what you say makes sense.
I'd recommend watching it with subtitles. If you don't like subs after the first episode or two then go for dub. Once you get to episode 25 & 26, you could choose to watch the End of Evangelion movie instead.

Episodes 25 and 26 are very abstract and rushed due to initial production budget. EoE is a more watchable ending to the series.

If you're craving more after that! The plot continues with the four Rebuild of Evangelion movies on Amazon prime video.

I have had similar concerns with reviewers skipping USB compatibility on laptops. After I left comments on relevant reviews with a quick rundown of the problem they started including it.

I might get at it again because I'd want my next laptop to drive my 4k 120Hz display over HDMI.
All software projects must grow in complexity until they include a DSL. Or make outgoing arbitrary network calls.
For databases you simply parametize the inputs so that code is code and data is data and there's no mixing of the two.

Sanitization is a defence of last resort when you simply can't separate code and data. Usually used for user content on the web since HTML has no formal mechanism to separate code and data because the angled brackets that do this separation are also valid user input.

But databases do have a way to separate the query from the data. Parametize your queries.
I also liked slatestarcodex a lot, but I think he has a new website now after journalism drama. He was some sort of psych professor if I recall. Just overall good, honest open reading + discussion.

Prove it. I want hard data that shows people displaying no symptoms spread the virus.

Grandma can stay home if she's that bad off. Or you know she could get a damn vaccination and protect herself. You've got some cognitive dissonance happening. Are you anti-vax?

A culture that sacrifices its young for the old is reprehensible.
I'm not a programmer by profession and barely one by hobby. I know nothing about compiler internals but looking at the definition of a basic block from Wikipedia, "In compiler construction, a basic block is a straight-line code sequence with no branches in except to the entry and no branches out except at the exit." it seems that the ternary operators in "return (x ? a : b) + (y ? c : d);" although part of the same programming block would be distinct compiler basic blocks.

It’s just design by committee and long-standing efforts for backwards compatibility. Also the people writing the standards are far too familiar with them and thus a bit lost when it comes to making practical decisions.

Whenever you make changes there will be compromises and someone will have reason to be unhappy.

What else do you think employers should be allowed to put in the work contracts and then not provide? Did you expect the agreed salary? Seriously, how is what you expected working somewhere else in any way relevant if the contract says otherwise?
> The research linked to jstor.org is behind a pay wall, but I managed to find another source for it at [1] and it contradicts your point. It specifically states that no difference was found among those working an 84 hour work schedule compared to those working a 40 hour work schedule, and I quote right from the study which I link to below:

As I already said, we stopped bothering to do psychological research on this en masse, because it's not an "interesting" problem -- it's mostly been settled that it's unequivocally a bad idea. The idea that you think that you can look at 5 links and suddenly emerge with a complete understanding is very interesting though! Those were left as breadcrumbs for you to follow up on that I could gather in the shorted time possible, not as the complete picture.

In my case, older versions of glibc (< 2.24) have a bug which prevents using posix_spawn. I'm not sure exactly which version of glibc has the fix. I would like to test against all glibc releases in turn, to identify the first in which posix_spawn is usable, but AFAICT there's no easy way to do that.
Generally yes. Those problems can occur anywhere but the financial incentives for malfeasance are lower in smaller cities. Plus the officials in smaller cities usually focus their budgets on a limited set of core services rather than funding progressive social experiments.
Log4j 1.x is safe from THIS exploit, but reading https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/, there was an exploit discovered 2 years ago that was never fixed on the official branch (https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-17571/). There is a workaround of disabling SocketServer so it won't be exploitable, but I believe 1.2.17 still has an RCE in it by default.
