Should we let drunk people get home in their fully autonomous Mercedes? It's an interesting problem!

I think the answer right now is no, we're still requiring the driver to be able to take over, and our thought experiment presupposes they're inebriated.

On the other hand, it's obviously better to have the computer take a shot (no pun intended) at getting home than letting the driver do it themselves, even today. At what point does that moral balance tip? It seems like we're not too far off from the answer being "obviously let the car drive, whatever the drunk person was going to do is probably riskier for both themselves and everyone else".
But what about hooks? These essentially break this point completely. Functions that literally have (side) 'effect' in the name! (useEffect)

Over the past few years, at least on the frontend, I've found in every case what is a class could be expressed in a function or variety of functions. So yeah, still unsure about this point, maybe it was more for other software domains (backend, embedded, etc)

Funny too about what you say about 'grouping functions in some way'... I just made a post about how it makes a lot of sense to put a single function per file... with my organizing, a named folder is the only thing that 'groups' my functions together... so far this style of organization is working well for us.

How to Tell If a Movie Is Going to Suck
What gets tested and what doesn’t is an active choice which reveals malice, even if unintentional. A process important to Cloudflare will have the budget for testing; one important only to its customers, apparently not so much. Impersonal malice.
Ease of use. I haven't used it personally, but I'm pretty sure you can do everything with a mouse - no need to learn actual code.
Shipping containers are better against fire than wood. But here it's what was inside that seems to have been a problem, not the outer structure.

AutoFloApp – LowCode TestAutomation WebApp
Hello HN commmunity, happy to announce the launch of AutoFloApp

It is the simplest way to automate your Testing

Our aim is to
1. Enable manual testers to automate,
2. Shorten the journey of a testcase to be automated,
3. Accessible to everyone and
4. Easy to maintain and develop.

We are a web application which provides below functionalities:

1. Shorten your testing life cycle through automation
2. No Code platform to enable Manual testers to automate
3. Remove dependency on any specific coding skills
4. No infra required for script development and execution
5. Increase scope of testing in same timelines by enabling test automation

We are in our Beta Trial phase and are already being used by global companies such as InfraGuard.io, who have reduced their automation script development time by 80% and testing execution time Testing time by close to 90% after using AutoFloApp.

You can sign up on our website - https://www.autofloapp-login.com/

Here is the short video to help you understand the tool - https://youtu.be/vpJfDPuCDbE

We have a 1 month Free Trial for all our Beta Customers. Do contact us on contact@autofloapp.com, if this fits your requirements, and we will circle back to schedule a demo.
Which providers were you looking at? IIRC Huawei was the only company providing ISO container DCs, but the were super low density (e.g. 50kW total) compared to what the original Google/Sun/HP designs were.
Biased opinion (author of PGPP https://www.usenix.org/system/files/sec21-schmitt.pdf). These types of attacks are numerous and easy across multiple generations of cellular. I'd argue the best solution is to simply stop using IMSIs that map directly to a user.
These are amazing! I wonder if there are prints available. I would love to have 'Lothlorien in spring' on my living room wall
Big companies like Facebook and Google already employ a ton of people whose full time job is OSS work. At Google, the number is definitely larger than 100. And this isn't just mid-level people. There are principal engineers doing this stuff.

This does aggravate some of the OSS community, however. Calls of "Google is taking over C++" or "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" are common from the community. This represents a big problem: the community does not agree about what future they want to build.
Absolutely! Villeneuve caught the Dune-universe as I pictured it in my head incredibly well, from visuals over story telling to sound. And it showed just how alien and dangerous / harsh Arrakis is.

I'm just a tad worried about Feyd-Rautha so, Sting was just brilliant in that role!
Bayraktar Song
In the original sense of the word, yes.

Did it drift due to constant depiction of majority of unaligned countries as poor slums? Yes. Does it mean that I can't troll people using it this way by using the original meaning? No.
Actually engaging with people who ask this question has never led to anything other than getting mired in batting back their own choices presented as obviously better than my choices.

"Why don't you use Reaper?"

"Why not Bitwig?"

"Why not Linux?"

"Why not Ardour?"

"Why not LMMS?"

(the answer is "I spent tens to thousands of hours in each and they all feel like a regression next to Ableton Live and my very stable and productive Windows 11 Pro install")

This is music, but from this thread it sounds like it's the case with most fields. It's always the Standard Alternative Suggestions that assume the askee is an absolute novice who wouldn't be aware of and wouldn't have extensive experience trying or at least considering the entire space of possibilities before settling on a path.

"Why do you assume the asker is a know-it-all?"

Experience. It's cool that you have a different experience where it's not a waste of time.
> I know they've made it available to some universities and large customers also can get access.

And, IIRC, infamously the Chinese government too, because they made it a pre-condition of them purchasing Microsoft licenses that they must have source code visibility.

Love it.
Old Dune is kind of trippy view that happened once and I can't imagine it happening ever again, not with that budget and quality actors. Its still most approachable of all of Lynch's work. I like it a lot for sort of nostalgic feeling for the 80s vision of the future like from some pulp comics.

New Dune is completely different beast, can't wait till second part comes. That universe is rich for other stories, tv series etc. which seems to be the direction all major studios are moving to.

They're just standard wedge shaped yoga blocks (lots of options). I use both a mouse to the right and then I have a magic trackpad on what is actually a cell phone stand that's on my left.
Worst part of the tidyverse is learning it, and then looking up how to use specific functions. The bad documentation is mostly in the ggplot lib though.

It's a pleasure to use, though!
My biggest pain as a Tor user is having to fill out 10 captchas a day to do anything. Hcaptcha and recaptcha those that ship them make me furious in general for punishing people for privacy.
I've experienced these kind of things so many times that I am literally obsessed with what I check when I sign up to something, never had issues after that except for very rare cases.

Checking what can and cannot be sent to my account must be taken seriously. I'm like a firewall, deny EVERYTHING by default, if something interests me (almost never) then I'm willingly subscribing.

When I can't unsubscribe from something I get very frustrated and I always go full annihilation mode and create a new rule to sweep everything coming from that domain to junk and instantly delete everything, I don't care.
In creative industries the US always had the upper hand economically on pretty much any country you can mention, since WW2. The Japanese creative sector continues to struggle with profiting from exports to this very day, their income is overwhelmingly driven by domestic audiences (which themselves are a fraction of American ones). There is absolutely no chance that a Japanese film company or distributor could ever find the money to sue a major US player, whereas the opposite is very doable.

> I was more thinking about ideas of honor in Japan vs the US

I don't think there is any particular stigma with the concept of suing for plagiarism in Japan, or any higher tolerance for copying, at least since the '90s (in the '80s and earlier, their mindset was definitely different - more similar to modern Chinese attitudes for which ripping off is just a fact of life; but newer generations are less hungry and hence less unscrupolous).
IANAL, the risk is generally not in the downloading per-se but the distribution and use. The copyright owner can sue for use or distribution of the IP. So you might be able to download and look but that would then basically prohibit you from making your own compatible QBasic interpreter. You're better off clean rooming it generally speaking. So it's basically poisoned, you can look but as soon as you do you can't touch anything to do with that area again until you can plausibly say you forgot everything you saw.
It can be useful even if you're not directly incorporating it into your code. For example you might want stronger guarantees than the API documentation offers (e.g. "this function will only ever return values between this and that in this particular version of Windows"), and being able to read the code to check if your assumptions are valid is very useful. I've worked in function hooking before and ReactOS has been a very useful resource on occasion.
On 2022-04-05, the default branch will be renamed from “master” to “main”
Yeah but you don't ever really see Google or Amazon or Facebook or Netflix or Spotify on here, except employees commenting unofficially. Cloudflare is on here quite frequently and meaningfully. I'd rather companies communicate, even if (and especially when) they fuck up.

It helps that cloudflare isn't too big to fail yet and still trying to get better.

Hopefully they'll fix this email situation.

I think you mean "poorly-documented-cobbled-together-under-deadlines-never-to-be-maintained by someone who has no idea of software principles". Very few labs have a dedicated software engineer to actually turn this software into a usable/hackable tool let alone maintain it.
I work in the industry. Look at Heat and the opening of Dark Knight Rises and you'll see a partial direct remake of many shots.

People take shots from other films all the time. The only weird thing about this is how close the two films were chronologically. Usually people steal from older films. But this is far from a big deal. Tarantino has talked about how Reservoir Dogs is basically a segment of one of his favourite Honk Kong films made into a whole feature. This is literally the way a lot of films get made, people are inspired, sometimes they see a scene that's quite tough or they can't quite crack it so they take from some other film. Doesn't mean they're hacks.
World’s first hydraulic hybrid multicopter can fly up to 900 km
Exactly. And yet, many people choose to do exactly this on a regular basis.

Granted, it becomes an issue when people who wouldn’t drive drunk decide to use self-driving functionality simply because is there. But, there will be a point where it crosses over into being a net improvement, and that point may very well be a fair bit before meeting parity with humans. Obviously it’s not quite that simple (not all failure modes are equal) but it’s not that far off, either…
It seems the non-existence of a small-road-theory is in itself an problem when it comes to self-driving cars...
> Can you blame them?

Can't and don't. It's just a measurable fact of the human condition. I'm not sure why you thought I would.
The original literate programming was designed for early programming languages like Pascal, where support for forward references would've gotten in the way of efficient parsing and compiling. As you point out, it's less useful nowadays and it's been largely superseded by "lightweight" literate systems where formatted and structured documentation is programmatically extracted from the code rather than the converse.
I don't want car manufacturers insuring vehicles. This would lead to inflated prices because manufacturers know that you cannot sell your vehicle at any time.

KeePassDX works great on android.
I suppose that's true in a way. There would have to be some serious scaffolding for it to work though. For a web service, for example, libraries would have to be able to register route handlers and such that they handle independently.
Perhaps they could all be initialized in a common way using DI or something from a base gateway application. Versioning and interop testing would have to be figured out in some clever way.

Something like this would be the architecture I imagine.
Sitting alone, laughing in a coffee shop while reading this. Good start to the morning.

I enjoyed Dune, and believe it should win best picture. Partly because I haven’t seen the other movies mentioned.

After learning about the coughgeist, I’m more convinced than ever they will win. Sound research.
Not only that, the potential risk that contemporary nuclear energy (worse yet, older tech) keeps increasing as the world becomes more complex. You could make a list very very long by jotting down the threats that would be caused by and directed at a nuclear installation of any size.

Frankly, I don't trust the Human to manage the risk of a nuclear installation. Look what Humans are doing elsewhere in every other domain. We don't need the sun to be brought to Earth.
You're either deaf or unlucky. The copy of Dune I have on my hard drive sounds fine on headphones, speaker, phone, crap TV.

Also sound design != Mixing dialogue.
Not you personally, sorry. It's just a saying. "Can anyone blame them" would've been a better choice of phrasing.
> I cannot say the same however for software developers (of which I'm one). Far more variability there!

tolkiens approach to creativity is truly inspiring.
I would say about 90% of the posts / articles / comments I see on the internet which discuss R are usually of the "meta" format. They talk about R's strengths or weaknesses, about the difference between R and Python, about how much they love or hate R, or any other high level subject.

I can't remember the last time I saw a project someone did in R, or a tutorial on how to do something in R, get very much traction anywhere. It seems the only time people talk about R on the internet is to discuss the language itself (which is definitely frustrating), and it's getting old. Even this awesome, comprehensive document, which I would usually be foaming at the mouth to read, has me going "meh". I'm tired of the subject.
I'm going to tell you some things you probably already know deep down.

* Your son wouldn't want you to spend your life in the cemetery. Think of your son when he was laughing or having fun. He'd want you to find a way to feel that way again.

* Even if you fight and win against the corporation, and win billions, this won't guarantee that this can never happen to another child again.

* It's not your sole responsibility to ensure this never happens to another child again. It is our shared responsibility as a community.

* Despite this being our shared responsibility, it will probably happen again somewhere, at some time in the future. Humans are not perfect, and we aren't omniscient.

* You will move on and you aren't betraying your son by being happy. You will eventually forget the exact sound of his voice, memories will fade and this is ok.

* You will never get over this loss, but you will find a way to be happy again.

I know it's possible because my grandmother lost a son in a very similar way.

My grandmother lost her eldest son when he was ten. He was also hit by a truck. Like you, she was in the cemetery for a year, kneeling in the snow, till the priest came out and told her that it was time to move on, which is what she did.

Unlike you, my grandmother who lived in a small rural village, wasn't offered a settlement, and didn't feel she had the option of consulting lawyers. In a way she had it easier because she had fewer choices.

I do know that my grandmother found her way to happiness again, even after later losing her husband to a grossly negligent medical error a few years later.

Again you have to implant this belief in yourself. You and your family can find your way back to happiness again. Even if it seems like a cruel joke, it isn't. It's true. And I know it's true because I know people who did it.

Now some actionable steps/ideas:

* Make a small space in your home as a shrine to your son. Stop going to the cemetery and spend time with him there instead. If he dwells anywhere it's in your own home, not in a cemetery.

* Find a job you can do from home. One you can do in your sleep. Even if it's just some remote work like two days a week.

Arrakis is alien but it's depicted as relatively friendly in the dream-sequences. They used sounds of waves crashing on beaches, which makes a lot of sense as to the Fremen it is their home.

My only gripe is that Arrakis doesn't feel hot enough, but I also don't really care.
Also, Nanum Gothic Coding has a fantastic monospace font that is highly readable. Might be worthwhile for you to consider using this free font since it will greatly increase readability.

It also has the added benefit that the "+" and the "---" align (I only mention this because I noticed the system monospace font on macOS does not align at the box score border "+----")

MITMing SSL is something I refuse to implement, and argue against in every forum I attend.
This kind of law (tort) is for retroactively writing the contract that would get society to agree to terms to permit the action taken by the defendant -- in other words, literally: what would we demand of the plaintiff to permit it to continue to act in the way it did?

On an individual basis for the victim's families there is no amount of money. But, unfortunately, as a society we regularly agree to a value.
If it takes me more than 2-3 seconds to find the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email, or if that page is anything other than a confirmation (nobody is forwarding your bullshit, you don't need to "confirm" my email address it's just intentional friction), I just mark it as spam. If I'm feeling generous I might let gmail unsubscribe me, but usually I will explicitly not click that just so I can mark all your emails as spam moving forward.
Bladerunner 2049 is so slow with such a bland uneventful story and I don't think that cinematography or visuals are enough to compensate for a weak story. I just found the whole thing incredibly boring.

To make a parallel between cinematography and special effects - I think at this point people are kind of dismissive of movies that emphasize special effects and there's this old George Lucas quote that "a special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing". But swap "special effect" for "cinematography/visuals" and suddenly movies like Bladerunner 2049 are treated like they are masterpieces even though they hardly have any story to tell.
Sure, but what I was referring to was the fact the attackers claim to specifically be attacking okta customers themselves. I’m saying there is a high overlap between fedramp and companies which somewhere in the organization there will be access to highly sensitive info. Not saying they are in possession of, but have access to for many contracts.
I have passed the bar exam actually lol

Can't say whether or not it's easier than an exams to become an accountant. Bear in mind though that one needs to keep taking exams to maintain CPA status, whereas in law, we have no such requirement. Just have to keep doing (usually bullshit) CLEs.

In any event, any kind of licensure is more than we have to become devs, which I think is the main point.

edit: I see your point in another comment that one need not be a CPA to be an accountant, and that's fair enough.
