I have seen so many doctored PCR tests and so many antivaxxers lying about their vaccination status that I see no basis to do that on this particular topic.
In my experience that is a lot less true with customer facing jobs or jobs where there is an element of external facing presentation (like the note above). The candidate is going to get the same treatment from every crowd or customer.

If someone is doing an internal facing role, especially engineering, it may only come up during things like team stand ups, or certain types of design reviews, or not at all. So less of a problem.
Most studs have things (like drywall) nailed to them, and the nails are usually made of iron. So, all you need is a high-power rare earth magnet. I use a particularly strong refrigerator magnet.

If you want to splurge (or are willing to couple trips to the coffee shop), you could buy one (or two) of these:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/C-H-Hanson-Magnetic-Stud-Finder-...

I was tipped off to these by the someone in the construction industry. He buys a few whenever they're in stock, so that he can have them in every toolbox, lose them, etc.

Note that, once you find a nail head, you can just leave the magnet hanging in place. If you have two, you can hang both, then use a straightedge or chalk-line to mark the point between the two where you want to make a hole. The fancy radar puck thing can't do that. (Maybe, someday, fancy AR goggles will solve that problem, but we're a long way off from that.)
Higher Ed IT instructor / Lawyer here. I mostly don't in terms of how academia does it?

I think the issue is "attribution" vs "you're supposed to be original."

It's funny, because of course in law, literally only the first thing matters and the second is completely unnecessary and not part of the equation -- when it comes to adjudicating real life matters. I find that this stretches over to the academic work I do and how I grade it.

I generally try to do something like -- look, show me via writing (and frequently other media, screenshots, whatever) that you've done work in looking at this stuff. But I don't really need or expect you to "come up with something new." -- mostly because, what could "new" possibly mean here?
> The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC) proposes a "maker intellect" which enables thinking by making things intelligible, much like light allows seeing by making things visible.

Notably, cloud computing & online services are making this impossible. It's all spooky computing at a distance, unobservable.

Interesting share, thanks.
Fixed and will be live once site refreshes.
I would argue that many national governments (and local data protection agencies) are doing things, this was the Belgium national data protection agency. The issue is really Ireland, whose data protection agency has been twarting enforcement efforts. The reason why they are important is that they are technically responsible for enforcement against many of the big guys because they have their hqs in Ireland, which was also the reason why they didn't want to enforce, economic interests.
No instead they have AI days where they get up on stage and stupify and thrill investors with their technicality and claims everything is almost ready. Last year they made it sound like Dojo was a done deal, last week in earnings call they made it sound not ready, but also not necessarily useful

I like the idea, and it's definitely an under-served market. One comment off the bat: it's not at all clear to me what is the division between the free version and the "Grow" tier. I might be in the minority on this, but the conspicuous absence left me with a feeling of "What's the catch?"

I won't start using an app that doesn't let me do anything useful without paying, and I'm not going to sign up for a service if I don't know what I'm paying for, so I always look for that information up front before I even install.
Bikes have killed less of course, but actually not 0.

I'm not saying a free pass, I'm saying they act outside the flow of traffic so strongly and regularly compared to cars that people get angry with them.

I don't know why bikers are so un-self-aware that they blow red lights and stop signs as a matter of principle, bully pedestrians in my experience far more than cars, then act like the victim
I wonder if these models would become inaccurate over time without the data inflow.
The key word there is "expected".

When you do Operations for a living, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. That's why even after you think you've tested a change, you carefully and slowly roll it out a bit at a time, monitoring golden metrics so you can detect a problem, stop the roll-out, and roll back.

It sounds like somebody just flipped a giant switch and never checked error rates, connection metrics, anything. Check out this graph: https://hacks.mozilla.org/files/2022/01/crashes-foxstuck2-20... Think maybe that would indicate somebody needs to roll back the last change?

The problem here, as usual, is a disconnect between stakeholders. Google has this service (it seems like the load balancer for their customer?) it wants to change for one reason or another. The customers may or may not have planned for the change Google is making. Google makes the change, but it isn't a stakeholder of the customer (they basically don't care what happens to the customer). So there is no direct feedback loop for the customer to tell Google something is wrong.

If Google was at risk of losing business from its customers going down, it would have a strong relationship with those customers and have a way to quickly help diagnose problems and roll back changes if needed. This is a great lesson for all customers to take away: don't depend on people who you don't have a close relationship with.
I see nothing wrong with this comment, and find my understanding of Google to be very same.

I worked for them for a long time. They've been under a feature freeze and slowly but surely losing headcount for years. The engineers still there that I know have really lost any enthusiasm for the platform as a result. The engineers that originally built Cedar are probably the best I've ever worked with which is how it's been remarkably stable for so long to end-users.

According to LinkedIn they have 141 employees, down 30% in 2 years. We had nearly 400 at peak I think. They had a significant layoff in 2020.

I would not recommend using it unless Salesforce turns things around and starts investing back into the platform. If you are currently on it you should be making plans to move off of it. Ask your sales rep about "Project Periwinkle", which is intended to spin down Heroku and just make it all various Salesforce services. "Periwinkle" being a mix of purple and blue.

EDIT: I want to add that the common trope of "Salesforce killed Heroku" is not true—or at least it's not the full picture. Salesforce bought Heroku in 2010, only 3 years after it was founded. Salesforce largely built Heroku and later suffocated it through not giving us any headcount. There was a time when they cared, and if you ever saw our old office you know what I mean. I have no idea why Salesforce gave up, but us ex-Herokai debate about it a lot.
Wait up. The US develops all these things, and yet, you think they should be given away to the world at a discount, while Americans pay full fare or more? How does that make any sense to you?
> Even after multiple stories of accidents and deaths caused by them.

How many accidents and deaths are caused by human drivers? I haven't checked the stats but it has to be non-zero.
Maybe go enjoy our life while you can.
My understanding is they simply average the SoundChecks to give the oveall score and haven't looked at outliers yet...so I guess if you're very against a particular venue you can simply scream into your phone for 15 seconds repeatedly and give them a very bad average score XD

There was no 'Firefox Outage' because Firefox is not a service. There was a bug, and a production issue with a service that Firefox users were involuntarily opted into.

Can you talk more about your typical use cases? Are you working with huge spreadsheets containing a lot of formula? Word processing documents with a lot of complex embedded content?

I have been using OpenOffice or LibreOffice for two decades now, on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and I don't think I've had a single crash or freeze. Ever.
A few days ago I wrote about using the Postman API to automate functional tests. To send HTTP requests, you use the HTTP API, which is built in Postman. To interact with some API’s, you need to make a call with one of the REST API’s that are built in. There are a few pre-requisites that need to be set up to make use of the HTTP/2 protocol and also ensure your application will be compatible with HTTP/2 in general. At times, especially when working on Android, it can be hard to test and debug a gRPC server. Luckily, gRPC supports a protocol called “stub” that will emulate the behaviour of your service when being tested.
That's a bummer. I have built a ton of nights and weekends projects using Heroku. I've even used it in my professional career getting the real estate software we were developing to get up and running with a very small team. We eventually moved to AWS but Heroku made it easy for us to just focus on the product.
Thanks. The OP comment refers to line 35, while the actual code starts at line 232. I still think it's unreasonable to expect someone to scan 200 lines of source code to validate a claim.
I looked at one guide and strangely it involved both scrolling down and then swiping R-to-L to get to the next chunk of text. I could understand wanting to chunk the text and requiring horizontal swipes to move through them, but I shouldn't also have to scroll up/down in each segment. Maybe this is just because I'm on a smaller phone (iPhone 13 Mini)?

I was put off that I have to create an account before seeing more than just the introduction to a guide, and that at that decision point I have no idea how much the paid membership will be. Please don't hide the ball and hope to hook people. If this is $5/year, I'd go through the sign up process and see how it looks. But if it's $15/month, I wouldn't spend the time trying it out because there's an incredibly small chance that I'd end up wanting to pay that much.

Honestly it looks like most of the content is just stuff gathered from the web (or very similar to content that is free on the web), which also tempers my interest. Some people might be interested in posting public photos of their kids, but I'd never do this in a public app. Maybe I'm not in the target audience, or I'm misunderstanding. But I'm a dad and entrepreneur, so I was curious enough to check this out. Just my 2 cents!
Are they mentally well adjusted in other ways? Like, if neither of you bring up coronavirus, can you have a proper conversation with them or are they odd?
Pis are horrendously unreliable. Even if you pull out all the stops to make them work reliably (like disabling SD card writes), they don't.

The broadcom chips they use are complete garbage. I was hopeful I could use the watchdog timer to make a pi more reliable (by restarting it when it inevitably crashed). Guess what? The internal watchdog timer doesn't f*cking work! You'll notice that every project using pi hardware that needs a WDT uses an external one.

Total junk! I don't use them for anything anymore, and I used to have like 6 automating various things.
I agree with you where VR is concerned, just not AR. This is why I don't like the term XR, it conflates markedly different devices. The Quest 2 is good enough that content is becoming its biggest problem, and if it gets some really killer games or social apps it could gain serious traction. It already has way more satisfied users than the entire AR industry, because AR hasn't reached that "good enough for content" milestone.

I follow VR more closely than AR. It has a ton of examples as to how people will not pay to use ugly garbage tethered to a desktop PC. This is why Facebook's pivot to standalone headsets has been so successful. PC tethered VR apps look better, are more interactive, and are vastly larger and more in depth. No one plays them, because a slick single device is more important than every other factor. When I used to demo PC VR apps to people, they'd be blown away. They'd ask how to get one, I'd explain the PC and the base stations, and their faces would fall. No one ever bought one. When I do the same demo with the much worse apps on the Quest, people buy Quests.

Magic Leap's investment in content is another example. What good did that investment do? None, because the Leap itself was too big and clunky for people to buy.
> There might or might not be auditors visiting you after the first letter.

The ICO in the UK doesn't work like that, AFAIAA. You first get a polite letter; then a firmer letter containing helpful advice on how to come into compliance.

After that, you join a huge queue of companies awaiting legal enforcement action. The ICO is deliberately underfunded; it always has been. The government passed data protection laws, but they reserved the power of enforcement to an agency that was crippled from the start.

I welcome this court decision, obviously.

[Edit] Most of the penalties levied by the UK ICO used to be against local governments and government agencies. They were rarely against commercial operations. I see that there are some companies (that I've never heard of) now appearing in the list.

DeepMind says its new AI coding engine is as good as an average human programmer
WHAT STORE DID YOU BRING THE PI TO? IS IT STILL THERE?

I'll second the recommendation for real PC hardware. Tinkering is fun up until it's not. When it becomes not fun is when something breaks, takes down a system you have come to rely on, and now it becomes work to recreate the functionality you used to take for granted. Seeing people go for the RPi for something they're going to put a lot of hours into makes me cringe a bit, having had several SD card filesystems get corrupt. If that's what it takes to get you started with self hosting, by all means go for it. But there is much nicer hardware for running servers on.

Having said that, I still use RPis for edge devices and the like.

PS I really like that idle power figure on your server. I wish there were a list of power consumption figures for integrated hardware, it seems quite hit or miss.
According to the GDPR the burden of proving compliance is on the controller by keeping paper trails and documentation. So technically they would already need to be able to prove were all data has come from, or else they can't have it. So either they start untangling or they delete it. :)
> Does this mean it will be a long term of conditions like apple does every time we use a website?

No. Freely and unambiguous given informed consent means that the users need to actually be able to understand what they consent to. Encrypting the information in a 500 page novel, obfuscating it beyond human ability to understand or interpret it, is not informed consent.

ToS are not currently under the same requirement of Freely and unambiguous given informed consent. They just require consent, which for now has been interpreted to mean basically anything that a lawyer want it to mean. People have given away their spiritual souls and first born child in ToS, through the ability to enforce such contracts is open to debate.
The pressure to fix is blunted by the issue's complexity and a public distaste for complexity. There isn't one issue, there are a million issues, and they have to be well understood to be fixed.

"Single payer" is easy to rally behind but it is not a complex solution to a complex problem. There's no guarantee that the result wouldn't be similarly expensive helathcare which was now mandatory with taxes and no longer had economic competition as a pressure to fix.
I use LO on a 2012 Mac mini (Mojave) and 2020 M1 Air (Monterey), no issues on either machine.
Tesla drivers report a surge in ‘phantom braking’

This is scary and amazing. What's next? AlphaCode writing itself? Super intelligence?

I'm not talking "scary" in terms of robotic overlords, I'm talking about companies possibly getting rid of programmers and the whole industry getting a lot more difficult to enter.

I can certainly envisage AlphaCode turning interface mockups into actual HTML code or HTML code generators - a ton of work goes into that and it's quite tedious and ungrateful.
I think it is 100% fraudulent to charge for the FSD option that isn’t enabled at delivery of the vehicle.

Edit: to qualify this my father paid over £5000 for it three years ago.
You're right, we probably shouldn't make reckless driving legal either.
Thanks for the necessary context that was inexplicably left out.
I appreciate the recognition and the attempt to make a dad-based community. After having a kid it seems like moms are much better at this kind of thing, and I've felt pretty isolated (even before the pandemic). I've found myself interacting with other moms more than other dads, simply because they're more likely to be the ones putting themselves out there... plus I'm not really the sports/beers/bbq type of guy.

It's a good question. Crypto companies aren't a monolith, but using crypto as a comparison to an SMB, and in this case sounds like SMB==startup, then requires some nuance if you want facts behind that claim.

SMB vs. web3/Defi, 30 person teams, no security engineers? The web3 company probably is a lot more vulnerable.

SMB/startup vs. generic crypto exchange like Poloniex? This gets harder to parse. Poloniex gets the malicious traffic and has a pretty small security team I think. But, they and companies similar are a tech company in the cloud and with a solid infra engineering team and leveraging AWS tooling, it's not like they're totally exposed. The SMB/startup has none of this, so arguably they are a similar risk profile in surprising ways, or maybe even more exposed than the exchange.

SMB/startup vs. a Tier 1 exchange like Coinbase? Very silly comparison, CB has a pretty large security team, knows their stuff, etc. etc, very good track record until very recently, and as a industry group the Tier 1 exchanges do well on the security front.

Compare this to the SMB instances of malware sitting on a Point-of-sale system for months/years until it gets discovered? Family dentists getting ransomwared fairly consistently? The retail/SMB space is a bit of a security nightmare. For someone building a product here and is able to sell the "so what" of it to a dentist, there's opportunity. If SMB == startup, well that's likely a startup with 10 hires, extremely product focused, especially with fintech integrations, and presumably a lot of PII as an insurance fintech? If a consultant isn't explaining the fairly large inherent risks there for the SMB/startup and using crypto as a comparison of something worse, that's wonky to me.
But HOW do we know is safer? We should not assume is safer by default and I see many problems with Tesla fanboys numbers

1 the count for the times drivers intervene to prevent a crash are secret, or are not counted at a crash.

2 I don't want on my village/city some american car that is safer then the american driver that included 16 year old drunk teens and people that don't even have to pass exams and medical tests. The self driving car should be compared with healthy drivers , I don't care that some state/country is incapable of stopping speeding or drunk driving.

3 updating this cars should invalidate previous approvals, as a software developer I know well how updates include bugs not only features.

Anyway I am against companies deciding from themselves how is a capable alphya testers and how they should run alpha tests.

If we want real metrics then incidents liek the ones in the video should be counted against Tesla, is MALICIOUS to show a stats of average driver using an average car versus an expensive car with a combo of human+computer and assign the good to the computer and ignore the many times the human had to save the computer ass. Fuck shit statistics and shit companies and fanboys using them.
At best you can prove the computer might be a decent copilot versus no copilot.
I guess the question is then: Are US government contracts worth more than access to a market of 500M people, mostly reasonably well off?
Yes, but how does it compare to a normal responsible driver? Because that is the use case here, not the idiot with an exotic they can't handle.
Its a race to the bottom sure, but if it isn't you there are many others that will deliver the Tax Haven service.

> Drupal was, and still is, a clunking monster, unfriendly to developers and editors alike

I feel like this is an unnecessary and inflammatory swipe, typical of coder-bro culture. Both Drupal and Wordpress are open source tools that have survived for years, are built on tested and long-lasting languages, and serve the people who both build and use them.

Everyone is always crying about how nothing ever stays the same, and and the same time, how the-next-new-thing-ism is ruining the web. And then there is this comment thread with every other response trying to push some ostensibly better and easier thing that stands no chance of surviving more than a couple of years, because CMSs need communities to keep them alive.

I am a proud member of the Drupal community. I struggle with it sometimes, but it is still amazing at how much you can accomplish with core and contrib modules. And don't forget, some organizations need a giant, clunky CMS. We're not all building websites for cutting edge, VC-backed, brochure-based unicorns. My clients need a framework that has legs to stand on for the next decade to come.
