The same way Tor gives me privacy. The network knows what traffic went where, but it does not know the identity of the initiator.

Similarly when you get BTC in exchange for cash or p2p exchange without KYC then those transactions are no more tagged to you than the list of transactions in the register of each vendor you pay cash to.

Even when you use cash, serial numbers can be logged on withdrawal and deposit to track movements of cash and secret service does do this when they are targeting someone.

Being anonymous with cash and Bitcoin is similar. Do not identify yourself when you obtain or spend your cash/bitcoin and then logs of their use, which do happen, are at least not directly tied to you.

Bitcoin has the added advantage of each vendor usually generates random withdrawal addresses so no one from the public even can easily identify the recipients, unlike with a credit card transaction where both sides are IDed and logged.

Neither cash or Bitcoin will stop someone tailing me on foot and tagging transactions to me but my primary adversary is surveillance capitalism and it would not be profitable for them to go that far.
Same. I think the days of 2+ month locks are over. I've talked to half a dozen lenders since the new year and the longest lock they'd give without massive upfront fees was 60 days.
I also motorcycle, and have arrived at similar solutions. I'm not quite a digital nomad, but I have been in the past, and I retained a lot of those habits.

My favorite hack you already mentioned--the little adapters to turn usb c into lightning or whatever. They're tiny and cheap. I glued together one for apple and one for micro usb, and then I only need the one cable.

A MS surface is definitely the correct choice here IMO, in terms of hardware. I run "Ubuntu" on it to get a terminal, then ssh into my cloud machine where I can develop.

I also have a fully opening bag, and I spent up on it. Make sure you put both zippers down, and on the same side, to avoid spilling bag contents down the highway.

I'm sadly unsurprised at the barbarism of how they killed them.

Iowa is one of multiple states in the USA that makes it a crime for employees to film animal torture or abuse in such facilities. The status-quo of how beef, pork and poultry are produced in America is horrific (in terms of sanitation, animal suffering and worker exploitation) and rather than do anything to improve it, we treat whistleblowers like terrorists and make even publicizing the abuses into felonies.
If they can put a dog nose and tongue on a video with AI, I would guess maybe removing the sound of the drone is possible.

Tried, but there is a lot of caching of processes in windows to make the experience faster and smoother.

Most websites are heavy and what I mean by that is they have a lot of javascript, so its not just downloading stuff, its then having to run that stuff which is an overhead the rpi cant quite handle. I dont know if the javascript executing on the rpi can be optimised but I suspect the javascript is better optimised for Intels and AMD's.

The mouse is too twitchy, it needs a bit of damping to make it smooth moving over the desktop and hovering over buttons. I suspect there is a bit of AI in windows which predicts when someone clicks a mouse button that they actually wanted to click the mouse button over the screen button, ie something to improve the accuracy and experience of windows.

I don't think "screen real estate" is the right argument here.

The problem is just that every line creates cognitive load and there's a tradeoff between concision and descriptiveness.

A language with piles of syntactic sugar and magic gets it wrong with too much concision and can read like line noise when it gets overused.

Go goes the other way though and makes it way too verbose and just makes it difficult to read the code. When a method needs to have 6 different error handling clauses in it, then it isn't as clear that 5 of those just bubble up the error while one of them has some unique handling. It also increases the chances that some programmer copypastas the boilerplate bubble-up code to all six of those cases and it sails through PR review. You can write a static analysis linter to force programmers to always handle errors and not ignore them, but you can't force them to handle errors correctly. When humans are reading the code, concision helps and verbosity hurts -- up until that crossover point where magic causes readability to suffer.

Go programmers seem to focus on abhoring magic and rejecting the benefits of concision. But when it comes to PR review your job is to stare at the whole method (or the whole file) and be able to "see" the bug, and more lines of code will make this job more difficult (and is also why some of the recommendations of the "clean code" book are pretty bad since extracting more tiny little methods can harm overall readability). There's a happy optimum somewhere where cognitive load is minimized. That isn't attained though by just having the simplest language design possible and offloading complexity into more verbose code.
This looks and feels like a rebranded drone from any random Chinese drone producer... is there anything novel about this other than Snapchat integration?

I am usually unhappy/ worried working in a language or library that pretends the world is simpler than I know it really is. On a good day there is documentation clearly explaining that the maintainers know about the complexity and here's what they've done about that so at least I know; on a bad day it's just shrug emoji.

The article mentions the whole filename thing as an example, and that's one of the first places where I felt I was at home with Rust. It's not unnecessarily complicated but it does force me to acknowledge that yeah, the name of a file might be incoherent nonsense. It's probably a String, but it might not be. I can write code that says "I don't care, we're probably fine" and accept that if it's not fine the code will fail at runtime in a defined way - or I can write code that actually cares about this problem, even if just to explicitly ignore such files as if they didn't exist.

In too many languages the second isn't really an option (which is frustrating if I'd like to write reliable software) or worse, the first isn't an option and so I'm stuck writing endless boilerplate even for a toy or one-shot.

The latter is arguably OK if your language is really just for space rockets and medical implants where failure is not an option. But that's never really how things work out.
Somewhere at Twitter HQ, there are two boxes full of notecards:

I'd say that teaching kids piano is a mistake. It gets them zero respect as a teenager, so they tend to quit.

> The sheer number of String and other lightweight (but existent) instances in a running Java program is astounding, because the language simply doesn't encourage you to be parsimonious with creating them.

I agree with this. Java promotes a profligate programming style where allocation (and reclamation) are considered free. (They aren't). This is baked into the JDK deeply. E.g. with standard APIs it is not even possible to parse an integer out of a string without allocating memory. Those are language and library design choices that have a huge confounding effect on trying to measure GC.

For example, I wrote the Avrora AVR emulator and sensor network simulator, which is one of the DaCapo benchmarks. It's a CPU emulator for very small devices and uses almost no standard JDK stuff in its core work. As such it allocates very little and has a pretty small heap. It often shows up weird (sometimes obnoxiously small or uninteresting) in papers that study memory management because it really isn't very Java-like in its behavior.
> elsevier is working with materials they dont own. however when substantial changes are made and accepted it could be argued that is a publishing partnership.

I don't know what you are trying to say and how that addresses the question.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works in most scientific career paths.
Refreshingly honest about the video quality you should expect in the main promo video. Typical problems like dynamic range, color profile, light bleed and tracking problems with the top of the head being cut off at one point. Pretty typical unless you spend more money on your drone or camera equipment. There are so many companies that fake the footage or pick much easier shooting locations.
I'm thrilled for you, that you're so good at delivering software. But this feels really besides the actual points being made here.
a very interesting counterpoint is Vert.x - https://vertx.io/docs/vertx-core/java/

Vert.x uses a concept called Verticles - which are like actors..with an external message bus. Which ends up being more practical if you start leveraging kafka, etc in the architecture.
The article points out the tragedy that advanced SIMD instructions might as well be on the moon because you can't count on customers having them available.

A hyperscaler can buy 20,000 of the same machine and know it is worth coding for all the advanced instructions on them but somebody selling shrink wrapped software would have to package multiple versions of all the library functions if they want to get maximum performance on all the processors in the wild. More likely they just give up.

Intel MKL is multiple gigabytes just for some old-school FORTRAN libraries like BLAS and LAPACK because of the need to pack multiple implementations of every function.
Just because bits are travelling across the wire and the digital artifacts happen to stored in Kalamazoo does not mean services or goods have crossed state lines. Otherwise, using a telephone to talk to your employee or customer in another state would involve crossing state lines. That simply isn't the case in the normal course of business.

The fact that this conversation is this complex gives me a feeling that remote work is going to be the backdrop for a lot of court cases in the next decade.
A highly recommended book about (real) football that transcends the genre is The Miracle of Castel di Sangro.

Yeah, commenter definitely conflated Illinois with Chicago.

I would not classify Chicago as anything close to an "affordable" housing market. Probably a toss up whether the least affordable area in the midwest to median income earners is Chicago or Minneapolis? Either area, you will be paying through the nose compared to, say, here in Wisconsin.
I think you misunderstand what GP meant; by "not a single metric", I don't think they mean "there is no metric" but "there's not solely one metric". The one you give is reasonable in some contexts, but not every language is trying to optimize for that. "Winning" is relative to how you define the game, and not everyone will agree your definition is the one they care about.

An out of state LLC registration in Texas is $750, plus you have to give them a credit card up front, so they can charge you $1 per name search on a web forum to ensure that your business doesn't conflict with any existing business. Though, they will refund that money if you end up registering. Mostly, this is to say that even in "business friendly" states like TX, registration isn't necessarily cheap or friendly by comparison.
My personal opinion is that not being able to see the other person's face when you're communicating with them is a big part of the problem. Perhaps a cooldown period would help and I'm all for trying to find ways to improve discourse online, but at the same time, the psychology of being able to say whatever hateful thing you want because the other person is hundreds if not thousands of miles away drives a lot of this behavior. This is true of forums, gaming chats, etc.

Hiring those professionals, or having them available for consultation, is a core requirement for starting a real business. If you didn't budget for that, that's a poor reflection of you as a founder.
The EASA also makes a distinction between <250g drones >250g drones, in terms of registration and permissions required.

However drones remain pretty hard to use across the EU, they're strictly forbidden in most places (cities, natural parks) and for the rest you need explicit permission from the county's aviation authority ( and sometimes even more, e.g. in Portugal if the coastline is visible you also need the Coast Guard's permission). Apparently lots of tourists are unaware and are getting fined for that, there was even a few cases recently where oblivious tourists crashed their drones in historical buildings.
There is no legal definition of MAU. However the industry standard is that it represents total number of customers, so it wouldn't make sense to count one person twice if they have two accounts, because they are still just one customer.

Also it's really bugging me that multiple heads are getting cropped out of frame, in the promo. I would have assumed the immediate first feature would be a bit of ML to find the human and put them in frame, and I assume that's how it accomplishes the orbit and follow-cam shots, so why the awkward clipping?

But a public company has higher public transparency obligations than a private one. Why do you think being afraid of Elon will make them more transparent than being afraid of the SEC?
Yeah, I think I misunderstood both the above point and who owns the property in a mortgage. Essentially I think that the land value of the property, which is used in calculation of the property, would go to zero no matter who is paying the tax, reducing mortgages by an equivalent amount if the individual is in charge of paying it, or raising mortgage rates by an equivalent amount if the bank is responsible. Either way it does come out of the individual’s pocket, but mortgages don’t necessarily raise their prices.

I couldn't agree more! To be clear, I posted those alternative takes not because I buy into them as a complete alternative narrative, but rather to, again, encourage people to synthesize multiple points of view in order to get a more balanced picture.

> Take a look at C# and Java (or if you want to feel like you're writing modern code, maybe Kotlin)

Every time one of these Go/Node/Rust/etc rants comes up, my brain is screaming "but why not C#?". I would not be doing what I do today if I had not discovered this realm of goldilocks experience - Approximately "just works", runs about everywhere, tooling with decades of heritage & features, fast, etc. The only 2 excuses I've ever heard were: "Microsoft bad", and "it has too many features" (?).

I'd be posting daily about how much ass C# (or even latest JVM/kotlin) kicks compared to all the other training wheel garbage if it weren't heavily against the rules of this community. I'd not have even typed the prior sentence if we weren't already mid-brawl about another language being good/bad.
The value is provided in Illinois, not California. The work is worth nothing to the shop in Illinois while it is in California. The employee shipped the bits to Illinois, blame them for shipping the bits to Illinois. Compensation was provided for the bits in Illinois, not the bits in California. Why would the Illinois company pay for bits locked inside California that they can't access.
I figure if a dependency is good enough for a new project it's good enough for an existing one as well. Either way, it needs to be vetted.
I think the idea here is that snapchat is trying to solve that user issue drones have. If they can make using a drone as simple as TikTok made posting a short edited video, then they succeed here. There are lots of people who want to take drone images, but don't know how to start / what drone to buy / etc. This could (I give it a 30% chance) solve the problem.

Another analogy could be the polaroid camera that 'democratized' casual pictures - this could be the equivalent 'democratization' for drone photography.

I have no problem browsing the web on a thinkpad laptop with 4gb of RAM. I’ve always suspected that the issue with Pis is that they fall over when they try to write to swap. The SD card can’t handle it. The RAM isn’t really the limitation, it’s using an SD card for swap. Can anyone confirm?
C doesn't constrain what e1, e2, and e3 are or what they do in `for(e1;e2;e3)`, and goto's can be willy-nilly turning it into a hash anyway. Hence, trying to use the higher level construct is going to result in lots of special case code, and special case code is much more likely to lead to problems.

this drone could fill a BIG niche! drone manufacturers have been obsessing over the gadget enthusiast audience and that means neglecting the ability to do simple-but-manually complex things such as launch->detect you->frame you->follow you.

If they really do that and add in motion gestures with automatic upload to the Snapchat app interface, that's killer!
I know exactly what to think: salaries offered for your C++ colleagues are not competitive, so you are collecting competitors' dregs. It can be very hard to come back from that, maybe impossible.
