> there is no obvious starting point for a beginner

I think maybe some of this perception comes from the days when Java EE (Enterprise Edition) was very common. I worked on Java apps for many years and was fortunate to mostly avoid projects centered on Java EE.

For getting started with current Java development, you can download OpenJDK AND IntelliJ IDE. Then Google search for a tutorial on what you want to build (a command line tool is a good place to start, then maybe a web app if you're familiar with that domain). Start with just the Java language and then add Kotlin, Clojure, etc later when you are more familiar with the ecosystem - these languages add incidental complexity that you'll want to avoid as a beginner. I'd recommend Gradle for building. You'll see Maven mentioned. Avoid the tool but understand that "Maven repo" and similar terms refer to artifact repositories for downloading 3rd party libraries.
> To keep an eye on potential degradation, contractors tested 60 sequencers in 2017 and 2018, the lawsuit said. Three were flagged for further evaluation. Teledyne found that two of the three units would have functioned properly in an ejection.

> Two years after that testing, the lawsuit claims, the companies hadn’t said whether the third unit passed muster. Still, the Air Force relied on the test data when it decided to continue using the sequencer that ended up in Schmitz’s F-16, the lawsuit said.

I don't want to be too facetious, but if you very eagerly said that 2 out of 3 worked and say nothing about the last, I'm going to assume that last one completely failed.
Affirmative action is not illegal. If you take action to prevent adverse impact to any protected class, that is not discrimination. If a company hires only white men and rejects every Asian candidate they have ever interviewed, or only fires Asian employees, what is your proposed remedy? Status quo?

You can lock it with “lost mode” via Find My on the watch. You can’t wipe it.

But when locked it throws away the keys to the storage in memory so they need to be retrieved from the Secure Enclave again through device password.

So without an absolutely amazing exploit all your data on device is totally inaccessible.
It's using openai's clip (https://openai.com/blog/clip/) to find the image similar to your query or image. Clip learned to match images to the captions that were paired with them from images on the web. My best guess would be that there were enough pictures from someone with your name (maybe just last name) that it made that association.
> that also killed the hydraulics in that ca

You are probably referring to the brake assist mechanism in all cars after the 90's. It uses vacuum pressure from the engine to help you push the pedal down. Without the engine running, the brakes will work ~3 times, and then they'll get super hard to press - but they will still function if you have leg muscles strong enough to work them.
Does it make sense to preemptively demagnetize your cards?
Isn't that the point? The current rules allow, even encourage such individual wealth. That is the policy failure.
Per the embedded chart (1/2 way down, "CA Housing Development Average Permitting Timeline"), San Francisco takes an average of 975 days for a project to go from submitted to permitted.

2.6 years to get permitted is not a good faith effort on the part of the city.

That's 'if you're really serious about housing then cut NIMBY rights back to a reasonable level tomorrow' levels of fucked up.
This claims 3gb/s, saturating nvme full queued read. It’s not clear if they construct data or just parse it, but you have to construct data with any format. Other libs also do a great job. Also, io latency shoud be accounted for, because average jsons usually fit into one sdd block, afaiu.

> those wanting housing have effectively no say at all.

One of the points that William Fischel makes in Zoning Rules! is that when a developer responds to the profit motive from the market, he is representing the interests of future tenants who need housing. Conversely, when San Francisco Leftists oppose developments because they oppose developers making a profit, they are unwittingly opposing the interests of future tenants. This is part of what makes housing in San Francisco such an unsolved problem: those who claim to represent tenants seeking affordable housing (such as the trade group CCHO) actively fight private development.
What does Apple have to say about this, I wonder.
And since javascript is so focused on a single thread, it's easy to make sure it's not even running at the same time your JIT code is doing those writes.
I think your second point is actually dangerous advice and it's one of the reasons I prefer Nick Ienatsch's book [1] and the Yamaha Champions [2] school to Keith Code/CSBS. You don't want to be adding throttle and lean angle at the same time and accelerating through a turn gives you less options to deal with mid-corner surprises. You can add throttle as you stand the bike up and drive out of the corner.

Even on the road it's safer to trail the front brake into corners and keep weight on the front tire. Keeping the front suspension compressed will also make the bike turn better. None of the fast guys ride the way Code describes [3]. You can see Marc brake all the way to the apex with zero throttle.

Since cards have relatively recently gone to not having embossed numbers, the card slots are now probably just a little bit wider than most new cards, allowing a device like this to fit.

Outside of something like turning off some kinds of decoding in the system libraries to all apps, what could lockdown mode realistically do to a 3rd party app to make it more secure?
I'm a programmer yes, but I've also driven trucks and buses for a living. I've also done road trips across America and seen how empty most of it is. Being all by yourself in the middle of nowhere in a blizzard and having to walk the train seems like a safety issue to me.
This is an excellent video review by Peter McKinnon. I really like his studio shot comparison between his Canon mirrorless camera and the iPhone 14 Pro.

I though era of "more megapixel = better picture" is gone, but apparently not.

All that matters in technical quality of cameras is dynamic range. That is related to sensor size, more specific to pixel size that has ability to absorb light. It is simple physics.

Those who need camera sensor quality should check this charts:

My only worry with this is that Lockdown Mode will be a reason to let the “default” mode be less secure. I understand some security features can cause major inconveniences, and so Apple needs to weigh security against convenience as part of their design process. I just hope they keep striking a good balance there, and won’t use Lockdown Mode as an easy way out of those design questions.
The Celica All-Trac is fantastic
Well I know what I'm wearing this winter!
I worked in SF during the same time period, at a small startup. There would have extreme fury at the idea of hiring/firing based on anything but ability.

Again, this was a small company. Every person mattered. Every talented hire advanced the company, and every talented departure put us at risk.

Even now at the big company I work for, the small team sizes mean each dev either contributes or drains. We even have an informal budget of how much we expect contributors go drain/gain (junior devs can drain for a while, senior devs make up for it, etc).

The sort of “anti-racist” methodology suggests a mindset I don’t quite get.

Every company I know of has an extemee backlog. Product isn’t getting shipped because there aren’t enough devs.

Are people seriously saying it’s ok their company doesn’t ship as much product if it benefits historically oppressed devs?
Do people not get any messages when they make any transactions?

In my county you literally get messages for every transaction. And you also have to add in otp for every transaction online.
The “unlock for USB” thing has been around for years, you don’t need Lockdown mode for it.

Isn’t it on by default too?
The drawback is you have to rewrite some old code. I don't think there's anything else of note.

Maybe there are situations where switching permissions is too expensive in an unavoidable way but that borders on chip design problem...
A seatbelt wouldn't have helped much; maybe the Bel-Air driver would've been flung around a bit less, but one would still be crushed within what's effectively a giant crumple zone.
Modern heatpumps can go far lower than that. Many mitsibushi sold in my country can operate at -15 Celsius. I think the newest from mitsibushi can do -20 C.

Efficiency does decrease since they need to spend more time defrosting.
Thanks - glad you like it! I probably won't get to all of these but let me try a couple:

1. There's a spectrum (sort of) between using full on RL techniques and just doing sequence modeling. We're trying to pick a reasonable place on that spectrum that lets us model whether things have gone well without doing too much fiddling.

3. It really depends on how closely related the domains are. I think it's safe to say that you should expect more transfer of abstract/high-level capabilities than nitty-gritty things related to the specific domain - that's part of why we're excited about training one big model to use all software tools.
Wow, so I've been trained. Many times over. Photos stolen from my personal portfolio.
In Australia, day to day you can get up to $100 cash out at the grocery store. I think this is safer than the ATM since the readers are generally in use all the time so there is less chance that they have been tampered with. At least, I've never heard of someone getting their card details stolen at the supermarket. And I have heard plenty of ATMs around me being compromised.
They don't say much on why not Envoy. It would be interesting to hear if there were concerns with it.
I live in the UK, and I don’t think I’ve used my mag stripe here once in the last decade. The only time I can remember using it was on a plane.
The article states this was to “celebrate” the 50th anniversary of the test institute in 2009.
I agree with your point about controlling for variables but it does not seem to be the goal of the video.
Very little and and what is donated likely will be spent inefficiently (as in many charities) or maybe even with negative efficiency (see greenpeace who is largely responsible for us not having cheap, green and reliable nuclear power).

I prefer to buy cheaper products and decide for myself how I should spend the price tag difference on charity, not trust clothing brand to do it for me.
> You probably could have just installed some small diameter piles under each solar panel post. I'm surprised your engineer didn't recommend it as this would have much more easily addressed the wind loading issue.

This is precisely what I designed and the Civil Engineer agreed would work fine. The LA County engineer, for lack of a better word, turned out to be a complete a-hole. Each footing ended-up being a 4 x 4 x 4 foot cube, each over 8000 lbs, eight of them. And then the slab on top of all of that.

The story is a bit more complex than that. Before starting the design phase I put together 3D models of the basic idea and went to the permit office for a consultation. I spoke to zoning, fire and structural/safety/permit (forget what the official title was) engineers. Out of that came specifications for the kind and sizes of lumber I had to use in order to be in compliance...and more.

A couple of months later, after much design work and spending money for a civil engineering firm to do their thing, I submit the plans.

They get rejected by the guy who would later make my life miserable with all of that concrete.

Why?

He didn't like the size of the timber being used. You know, the material he recommended just a couple of months earlier. Nothing significant had changed in the design. He, for example, wanted 8x8 columns, rather than the 6x6 he said I should use. Because I had gone through that initial consultation I had a pile of lumber already purchased awaiting the permits being issued. I could use very little of it after his rejection. That cost me thousands of dollars and probably another two months.

The entire experience was not fun at all. Unnecessary. I don't even want to imagine what it might be like to put a larger project through that office.

The other interesting thing was that the inspector assigned to my project was just-about clueless. As long as it looked right, I probably could have gotten away with anything. My goal was to build a safe and durable structure, so no issues there. I don't even want to imagine what people wanting to cut corners might get away with once they realize their inspector is, for the most part, incompetent.

> Cool Solidworks model. Easy 3D modeling has very much changed the game for small scale projects by allowing people to build a project on their computer and figure out all the little details that you'd normally screw up without an engineer.

Yes, definitely. You can even model and evaluate fit and tolerances. And, of course, run finite element analysis on the whole thing both for structural and aerodynamics.

I actually started with CAD way back during ACAD 1.0 days. I even did a bunch of 3D work in AutoCAD. This wasn't fun due to limitations. Once parametric modeling came into my life I haven't looked back. I still have AutoCAD because we need it for some of our work, but this is pretty much a Solidworks shop. We do product design from concept to prototyping and manufacturing for a range of industries, from commercial to aerospace.

Here's part of the design of a full-scale aircraft simulator (Boeing 777) also done in SW:

I'm sure that creating and maintaining a low-power mode version of a large, constantly-updated website isn't something you'd be able to do overnight. Updating could be automated, but would probably take a bit of time and fiddling, which I doubt that many sites (especially larger ones) care about doing or putting in the effort to do.
Well if you are already having trouble getting Google to pay attention to you and take back the money it might be cheaper to consult a lawyer than wasting more of your own time on the issue.

And then if you are considering the possibility of keeping it somehow I don't think you could afford to NOT consult a lawyer.

It's good that he's highlighting the potential issues with the eSim. To me, forcing every new iPhone user to go all-in with eSim is ridiculous. That will work for many, yet it could be a painful issue for some.

Not really. The founders got acquihired. Basically a face saving operation. The company and product did not go with them so it was just a fancy hiring process.
No - I only get asked for approval on particularly suspicious transactions, normally based on amount, merchant reputation, and geography.

I believe this difference is because in the US merchants are on the hook for fraudulent transactions and in the rest of the world the customer is on the hook.

So if someone steals my card and makes a bad transaction, I just go into the app, flag it as fraud/not me and no money comes out of my bank account. The merchant ends up eating the cost because it's better for them to eat a small fraud percentage than to add more friction to the checkout process.
Poor Australia...
Dubious claim. I seem to remember certain mega-corporations driving independent retailers out of business in a race to the bottom in the last couple of decades.
I'm not sure if you caught it but stackaid contributions trickle down. So, while `aws-sdk` gets a top-level cut of your donation, all of its dependencies, and so on, get cuts too.

Also, flip the consideration, why is it fair that you only support a hand-curated list of projects and ignore the thankless dev writing all the little helpers and utilities that save you time over and over again?

The blog post on their monte carlo simulations are pretty interesting. You can see how the funding ends up getting distributed, which is much like funding is today where people pick and choose, but with a healthy long tail that supports all the overlooked dependencies.

What I really like about this approach is how egalitarian it is. If this catches on (and I believe it will) it's a self-contained ecosystem with its own incentives and emergent behavior. It even creates a healthy incentive for projects to minimize dependencies. And a high profile commercial project might want to signal virtue by passing on its pool entirely to its dependencies. Or maybe it claims its pool and pays it out as a bonus to the team that maintains the project? Or maybe it claims the pool and uses it to fund the infrastructure and operating costs and the price of the product you already pay for goes down. The possibilities are pretty fascinating.

What stackaid presents is a solution for devs and organizations who recognize how much value their dependencies provide and want to spend more than $0/mo to support them but don't want to think too hard about it beyond that. I've been waiting for a solution like this for a long time, and I'm keen to participate!
