Strangely enough, you can actually block the corporate accounts associated with sponsored tweets. I used to do this consistently on general principle before ultimately canceling my account. After awhile, the ads I did see (from as-of-yet unblocked accounts) became more and more exotic. It seemed like they were less frequent as well, though I could definitely have been imagining that.

A lot of it is cargo-culting based on comments of the go-team members and applying the advice of go team members as a blanket as opposed to applying it more surgically in the context of your application.

For example I used to get a lot of pushback from the go community when using an assertion library, for those not familiar, go's testing library doesn't have support for asserts so you end up writing a lot of code like

if want != got {
t.Fatalf(....)
}

this gets esp annoying as you deal with more complex objects. Many in the go community criticize using an assertion library to write simple assertions as in other languages for your tests, citing that the go team members are against casually bringing dependencies in your project. Not realizing the intent Go Team's "statement against dependencies" is a targeted word of caution urging people to think about the dependencies they bring into their project rather than a blanket attitude against dependencies.

Almost certainly Go Team would not advise against bringing in a build time time dependency that is not even gonna be part of the binary you ship that will make your tests easier to write and error messages consistent.

MyFitnessPal has been partially down for 5 days
I downloaded and installed it so you don't have to. Review:

It has 8 built-in samples that play continuously. It also has a knob to add filtered white noise, which also plays continuously. Then there's a monophonic subtractive synthesizer, which I was unable to get to make any particularly nice sound. If I hold down a key for a while and then press a different one the sound unexplicably stops.

This a pretty lame instrument, which is beaten-out in both features and quality by the stock instruments that your DAW came with. Even if that's the 2002 version of Fruity Loops.

My impression (not having read about the history of this thing) is that this was some Kia employee's side project that some genius executive was impressed by, in the same way that my mom is impressed when I put two windows side-by-side on her computer.
To be fair Subaru has had good philosophy about safety for both driver and pedestrians. Eyesight was an early auto brake system.

iFixit with real QC approved Apple parts would be awesome. I had a bad experience with a laptop screen from iFixit, their support's options were to accept a partial refund or ship it internationally to them at my own expense.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of people do not consider it unethical for a country to enforce its laws or have a military. As for restricting use by Israelis, I'll just point out that the license itself considers it an ethical requirement to treat people equally regardless of their nationality.
> use case is for just VCS

Ye, just VCS. Nothing else.

Why do you ask? I don’t build my code/text. Hell I don’t even want to ever compile it. I like making code/text changes and play push and pull and sometimes merge. And reviews, don’t forget them. I’ve some peers who also like that. Maybe we do it just for the kicks. Maybe it pays as well. We want to do all of this on an excellent git platform with a fantastic intuitive UI; and we definitely want to pay for it. Just give us a solid VCS. What about that?

You’re as capable as I am of searching HN for mentions of your service.
It is downloadable as a VST at the moment, correct. But are you certain that they aren't planning to release the hardware for it?

I could be totally wrong, but some wording on that page makes me believe they are planning to release a hardware component to it. This one quote specifically:

"The Kia instrument features a touchpad keyboard [emphasis mine] so you can play as you go. You can create endless patterns, save your loops, play them back immediately and modulate the sounds with the dials. The key buttons light up when played, which offers a quick visual orientation."
> The person you are replying to sounds to me like they put their hand on a window and it was hot.

The person that responded to that didn't say it was impossible: they did convey that the reason it was hot was not due to the window itself. The heat could easily be from the light being absorbed by the panel.
Could you share the details (and compilers) of the issues you had because I'm actually kinda curious.

From my experience most of the bugs were just a 'normal' bugs i.e. human errors when writing and those were fixable by just figuring out what was implemented incorrectly. About 2% on a bts side were cache coherency issues because we had a multicore system without hardware coherency, so imagine, and similarily 2% were hardware issues on a modem side due to race conditions or whatever - harder to fix so workarounds. But miscompilation? x86 host tests are used to separate wheat from the chaff but the only tests anyone cares about, before commit, are on target

On modem side I remember one, maybe two if you push it, issues with miscompilation but it wasn't at all related to bitfields but the compiler was doing some stupid shit with register allocations
> Nobody said any of those things verbatim, no matter how much you wish they had.

No, of course I'm paraphrasing. I hoped I had made it sufficiently comically obvious that no non-brain-damaged reader would ever believe I was representing that as a quotation, or even an unembellished paraphrase.

> The complaint is that the article title heavily _implies_ the study finds devices are listening to your conversations unprompted

I don't think anything implies 'unprompted' rather than 'prompted', and many people in this thread appear equally confused by that inference. I am in complete incomprehension of how "Your Echos Are Heard" suggests that the smart speaker is specifically listening to your unprompted speech.
When you say fast though, you really are talking in comparison to other methods of using Java on Lambda. But compared to using something like Go, they are all slow.

Good point about tech debt.

Furthermore a prototype or MVP may not be intended to have along life from the start. It likely is just to test a theory/concept/business model. Then if there is traction, it will be rebuilt more robustly.

In this case, Incur as much debt as needed to fail fast.
I'd love to know why Maciej feels he can convince people to give him money, not provide the services he promises, and then be very flippant about it in this very thread (he's idlewords, and perhaps boneidlewords).

Well it's not fake, but I don't have confidence that I'd learn anything from it. If I am going to perform a box checking exercise, I'd rather learn something. And you're right, I have indeed listened to MIT lectures, but that doesn't give me a degree.

Hi,
I am looking for a marketing partner/cofounder to expand the user base and extend applications of Linkwork.

The base product is a Chrome extension for collaborative web browsing. Users can simply create a "room" and their browsing pages are shared live with others who join the room. Also Users can sync your Chrome tab to others in the room. At the end of the room, a report will be generated from the room transferred messages and emailed to users.

It's not rated to hold that many units of embarassment
OK fair, but let's say that making $250k as a senior/experienced software engineer these days is fairly middle of the road. It's still double.

(I managed a team where post-Covid, 3 left to make >$500k, 2-4 round up the $3250-$425k range. It sure _feels_ average)
I love the car itself; it is cheap to run and reliable, but, oh, boy, does the software ever suck. I have never seen a car with so many software bugs. Two examples (out of many):

The car is set to unlock the doors when I shift to Park, but if a passenger manually unlocks a door while I am still in Drive, it does not unlock the other doors when I do select Park. I need to shift to Park, back to Drive, and then back again to Park to let the rest of the passengers out.

If my phone's Bluetooth is connected to the car stereo, and I forget to turn off the head unit before turning off the ignition, then next time I start the car, the radio starts playing at maximum volume.
It is a nice idea. Personally I would have no use for this device, everyone poops. everyone gets constipated and everyone gets diahorrea (hopefully not at once). Everyone makes noise.

Let us just all agree that shit happens and we can all collectively be embarrassed.

Anyway a much harder but better privacy device would be one that can combat hidden cameras in bathrooms.

You might be right that the active dissuasion was principally about the AGPL. However, less active dissuasion of the GPL is definitely Google policy. To wit, the Google link you point to says w.r.t. "restricted" licenses, which it defines as including all the GPL licenses, "Third-party software made available under one of these licenses must not be part of Google products that are delivered to outside customers."

Never going to happen in Germany. Collecting racial data sounds too much like what the Nazis did. Even the word 'race' has sinister connotations in German because of them.
I don't think the gap I experienced was self-imposed. I was genuinely interested in the nuances of chess openings and my classmates were struggling to figure out what to do when their Candyland card had two squares on it instead of one. (This isn't a criticism; the game is meant to pose just such a challenge to children the age we were.)

We just weren't thinking on the same planes. My mind made most connections so quickly and automatically that I didn't realize other people's didn't. I didn't know why I couldn't have a conversation with other children. I just knew it didn't work. They would just stare at me and then leave. I knew I could talk to adults fine, but I didn't have enough life experience to realize the other kids couldn't make mental connections like I could.

It was actually when my younger sister started school that it clicked. I knew she was a smart girl, but academic subjects were surprisingly hard for her. That was when I realized someone could be smart, but have to take time to learn certain things, or at least in certain contexts, and that the things they learned might have to be layered on top of each other slowly.

Prior to that, my only experience had been of someone's presenting an idea to me and my immediately understanding it. It's hard to relate to other people, especially children, when you don't have that conceptual framework.
The Telluride’s US sales only hit 93,705 in 2021 well below Honda Pilot at 143,062 and their both dwarfed by 407,739 for the RAV4.
If uber/lyft were cheaper (especially during peak) this would be the future of "inferior goods". Honestly, they should be taking pennies on the dollar for each ride instead of their current rate in order to secure their place in transportation.
Yeah this is a really bad direction for gitlab. All of their devops features are terrible. They don’t pay their engineers which is why everything is poorly built.

They should have just focused on being the best vcs. Oh and you get what you pay for. Want to hire a bunch of mediocre engineers? you’ll get a bunch of half baked features
Grouping those agencies together is an oversimplification as they have wildly different authority for data collection under the law.

Also, saying that commercial data is available “without a warrant” is a strange framing of the issue. It’s available to anyone as long as the check doesn’t bounce.
Neat, and interesting that his conclusion is that it's too much effort to do for oneself.

My take on this is Timelinize[0], which is capable of downloading all your data from various digital records like social media, your phone, arbitrary files and unstructured folders, your Google account, etc. So it can aggregate data from Google Photos, Location History, Twitter, Facebook, text messages, and more, onto your computer, organized into a single timeline.

(It is the successor to Timeliner[1].)

I suppose Timelinize can support personal body metrics from various devices, and it is planned to support manual entries as well like journals. Analyses like his would also be possible.

Data can be automatically imported on a regular basis via APIs (like, backing up your new tweets every day). The arbitrary file importer can also be scheduled to watch a directory for changes: just write a file or folder to that directory, and Timelinize will automatically import it (and optionally delete it when finished).

Timelines are stored locally on your own computer, as plain files on disk, with a sqlite database as an index, so it should be a breeze to back up and use/read without proprietary software.

The idea is to:

- Back up your precious data that is otherwise held more-or-less hostage on somebody else's computers

- While creating a detailed, personal journal for your family history

- In a way that can show you your life in context with others' timelines and the wider world.

I much prefer APFS over ZFS.

The sad thing is that they didn’t open-source APFS. They could have done that at 0 cost and scored a lot of awesomeness points.
Not some, all. Physicists earn their right to talk about deep foundational things after they first shut up and calculate. Those who are not able to calculate, don't get tenure.
The Everett school of thought is that every time you flip a coin, you create a pair of parallel universes. That everything that could ever have happened did in fact happen somewhere in the multiverse.

The Bayesians believe you can look at past results to make good guesses about what will happen in the future. I must be missing something, because I don't understand how anyone could disagree, but apparently Karl Popper famously does.

David Deutsch also apparently disagrees, and has written up an ostensibly simple explanation here:

http://www.daviddeutsch.org.uk/2014/08/simple-refutation-of-...
> in the D compiler the `while` loop doesn't survive the semantic pass, as it gets rewritten into a `for` loop. The `for` loop then gets rewritten into `if` and `goto` statements

You throw away structured control flow in favour of unstructured control flow?

I would have thought it'd be the other way around and you'd be trying to recover nice clean structured control flow from raw concepts like goto.

Will people pay more for stability and reliability? If so, then that is what businesses will optimize for.

Businesses exist to give us what we want. Those that do it well are profitable, those that don’t aren’t.

Keep in mind that the effort spent to make healthcare more stable could have instead been used to provide more healthcare overall. Or something else entirely, like shoes or haircuts.

All services are not as good as they could be, because the effort beyond “good enough” gets shifted to some other more valuable purpose, where things are not good enough yet.
They do not go bust, they just find ways to bilk their employees, or customers, or the general public, or they find a way to make the government nanny them by shredding regulations or what not.

You seem to think that people cannot escape the consequences of their actions, and that consequences arrive swiftly and fairly. But I should think a quick look around the world we actually live in will disabuse you of that notion in short order. Especially when it comes to gigantic centres of power with vast reserves of cash and well protected revenue streams.

And if you've worked in any tech company, you've probably already seen that the people who coast do not "hide in corners" they make up an entire class, called "management", especially "middle management", they're front and centre because they have no productive work to do so they can devote the majority of their time to extravagant displays justifying their existence and their elevated positions and compensation.

> Compilers do generate instructions specified in functions correctly, inlined or no.

Well, clearly that's not always the case, as shown in the article, and which is what started this comment chain.

But, I'm not sure how you reached that interpretation. I'm saying that the code that you put into the function will result in some operations, whatever they may be, inline or not. The struct access will result in some operations. The those two sets of operations may be different. Some architectures have specialized instructions for bitfield access. There's a good chance that the complier won't convert the shenanigans in your method to those specialized instructions. Maybe! It requires an understanding of your particular situation. But some people's work exist in a context where this is a reasonable choice, for them.
It would be nice to be able to force a reverse chronological order as a baseline but on top of that be able to filter by a user-selected threshold value of whatever measure they used to order with the other method. That way you could filter tweets by their purported level of importance while still keeping the order you want.
That’s because they projected to sell like 50k.

Yes. You will never have a startup test of all the instructions used, in all the circumstances where they are used. Startup tests are useful for checking the presence or absence of certain advertised features, such as SIMD instructions. They are useless for buggy compilers and buggy chip implementations.

And, what would the code do if it detected such a bug? Abort, or run other code that works OK anyway. So, run that code all the time, and you don't need to try to check.
Safe enough to make people complacent, anyway.
The reason you get that warning is so nobody else can modify your OS without you knowing.
There is a significant difference in the degree of invasion between controlling the software users can run on their personal devices, and passively tapping the communication links between them. For NK, the former is backed up by direct laws mandating such direct control, while the latter is mainly made effective by users not doing the work to use privacy preserving protocols.

While we most certainly should condemn NSA's actions and work for our own society to become freer, we must not equate the two lest we end up forgetting which direction is up - just like many have done with regards to Russia's war on Ukraine.

So if you're sure that it's going to go into a recession, you invest in medium-to-long-term bonds, because recessions cause interest rates to fall, and bond prices go up as interest rates fall. Then, approximately when the recession hits bottom, sell the bonds and buy stocks.

Note that this requires that you approximately time the market twice, which can be difficult. Also hazardous.

Note well: I am not a financial advisor. Follow this advice at your own risk.
I believe they wanted indemnification from any negative outcomes of the NetApp trial, and Sun wouldn't give it. Or at least I remember seeing a lot of speculation about that.
It's more like a TPM, HSM or ARM's TrustZone than it is an encrypted disk. You can use it to enable encryption of data elsewhere on the device that the user doesn't have access to, among many other things.

You literally couldn’t pay me to use gitlabs devops tools. They are very poorly built without seemingly any understanding of good practices in the larger ecosystem.

Just be a really great vcs, that would make devs love you. Right now they are playing the atlassian game of checking feature boxes which are all built poorly.
