eh not really, for me it was the fact it took forever to implement some of the features. I also don't use the address much or any of their other features so was looking for a cheaper solution.
I mean they went out to this dudes house 40 times Including 4 times in 1 day

I don’t think they did much thinking
I did and it was too addicting. I was scrolling for hours on end. At one point it was 12AM in the next it was 3:30AM and I was still scrolling.

After deleting it, I felt better and my battery life improved too.
I used to love LawnChair (also, best name), because it was simple and functional. Then it wasn't updated any longer, and at some point broke some Widgets. R.I.P.

After much searching, I've settled on Hyperion instead.

Essentially, I want the Google Launcher without the Google Search Bar. And maybe a slightly denser icon spacing. Hyperion does that trick, even with the free version. But, to stave off another LawnChair situation, I decided to give them a subscription regardless, just so it stays around.
This doesn’t solve the problem.

If I have a user type, inferred from a Zod schema:

> { username: string; email: string }

And a function which takes that type:

> storeUser(user: User)

There is absolutely nothing that guarantees that the user object has been parsed by Zod. You can simply:

> storeUser({ username: “”, email: “no” })

And Typescript will not shout at you.

The only way to comparably solve it with Typescript is to inject a symbol into the object during parsing which confirms it has been passed through the correct parser function.

Personally, I just do basic type parsing on input data (usually request data) and more strict parsing where constraints like “is this a valid username, is this a valid email” during output (usually sending to the database). What happens in between I/O doesn’t matter much in many projects (CRUD), and in the places it does you can enforce more rigidity.
Putting the Ack in Acquihire
It's amazing, how much new features still can be added to this game for so many years.
What changed with boot camps?
Such things are encouraged by the excel UI because it fails to make relationships and manual corrections easily visible. The human computer interface matters beyond UX.
But that's my user name already!
>But you can't actually play emotionally expressive piano music on them -- not in the style of classical or jazz.

Yes you can, and yes it is more-or-less trivial. With a small amount of deliberate practice, you can learn to produce a full and finely-gradated dynamic range on either a piano-weighted or a semi-weighted keybed. It's a one-dimensional mechanical skill that just isn't particularly difficult relative to, say, an oboeist's reed control or a violinist managing the very complex relationship between bow and string. If I say "you just don't press quite as hard" it'll sound like I'm being glib, but that's literally all there is to it, because physics.

Strings players choose from a wide range of string tensions and woodwind players choose from a wide range of reed stiffnesses, based purely on their own personal preference. Some prefer something soft and pliable that responds to the lightest touch, others prefer something that fights back when you dig in. It's an accident of history that mechanical pianos fall into a relatively narrow range of weightings, not a deliberate choice on the part of pianists or piano makers - the range of options are limited by the mechanics of an escapement and hammer.

Pianists overwhelmingly prefer weighted keybeds out of habit, but more generalist keyboard players will often prefer a semi-weighted keybed for versatility. You can play gigs or sessions with either and you're the only one who's going to notice. Calling either choice wrong is just dogma.
You're not saying anything.
How would that provide any sort of unique service to the local community? Anyone who wants to hear that dreck can presumably do so.
I've seen platforms that don't rate limit 2fa guesses. A six digit OTP has only a million possible values. Guessing once per second it only takes a couple days to guess.

This is also why a platform should never confirm that a password is correct when 2FA is enabled, only confirm if both have been solved.
That’s not even the worst case though, worse by far than interpolating (whatever method is used) is simply taking data from countries with a similar name to fill gaps.

And even if you use a clever password you might be giving it to someone who has never heard of password hashing/salting etc (but I'm sure they "care about your privacy")

Hence why I prefer "not great/not bad" passwords to sites that wouldn't have a significant impact on my privacy

I am always eager to rise to the call of a rank bully. Well maybe less eager than you to have the opportunity to be completely rude to a total stranger you disagree with.

Meanwhile, they control companies with laws. Isn't this obvious?

Try charity next time. Or be this rude in real life to people you know and see how it goes. People like you ruin this site.

I was once tasked with reverse engineering a competitor's product, figured it might take a while but within minutes of running strings on one of the binaries it became clear one of the engineers must have been a major Game of Thrones fan. Talk about making your encryption passwords jump out :eek:

Random strings, folks, much safer to stick with random strings...

You could always learn the solutions once and put them into a set of Anki flashcards, so that you occasionally get reminded to practice them just before you forget them. You really don't have to keep repeating the 3 months "from scratch" experience. That's what I have done, pretty badly to be frank, and the prep time is now closer to 2 weeks.

Compared to many other industries where people are required to go get expensive and time consuming "continuing education", I don't think keeping a timed flashcard deck of maybe a couple hundred items total in rotation is all that onerous.
Last update was 2 years ago. I think this should be avoided for production use. Unless is so stable it need not be used.
The fact that weighted digital pianos are cheaper than equivalent plain MIDI keyboards is my pet peeve.
Sending in a swat team without any kind of in person validation is pretty insane anyway IMO.

If I’m a police captain, I’m going in guns blazing every time because I know the trend of SWATting won’t end until the penalties are ratcheted way up. The only way that’s going to happen is for terrible stories like this to become public.
I’ve always found GitHub to be quite generous with what functionality they give free users, especially visitors that don’t have an account. They kind of paved the way in that regard…

Some sites would probably put everything behind a login-wall. I can imagine some alternative version of git hosting with the following message:

Microsoft really has graveyard of dead projects similar to Google. Just to highlight

What I'm missing from these sites though is a short, snappy lesson and a link to a similar product that succeeded. Basically turn it into a counter argument lookup page.

Perl is installed by default on most Unix systems. FreeBSD being the exception. Python isn’t. Although Python is popular; if we’re comparing the probability of someone having the interpreter installed already, it’s greater for Perl, even if people aren’t aware they already have it.
I'm sure police everywhere have discretion (whether enshrined in law or not) over who to charge.

Where do you live that you think police exercise no discretion at all?

Prosecutors also have discretion in who to prosecute.

Courts also make decisions on guilt.

The police generally have immunity from prosecution (forms extremely dangerous outcomes) and are not obligated by law to do their jobs.

Would be interesting to see how well it would fare in situations where you have to prove your knowledge of patterns regarding specific pieces outside the context of traditional chess. What I mean by this is playing Chess960 or solving a tactics problem that starts from a traditionally unreachable position, but otherwise adheres to the original rules.

Even doing these things at an average level would be pretty mind blowing.
Some people are horrible idiots with amazing level of stupidity. Equating fpv drones with "weapons", AI in general with driverless cars. If we allow this hostile sentiment to spread it will be uneconomical for companies like waymo to operate.

It would be a huge shame if it came to that. This (driverless tech) is amazing for what it can do to help people that are old/poor and live in places with no public transport (we have lots of little villages full of people like this with a bus once a day often going only one way). What is the most expensive conponent of proving public transport to such places? Drivers.
> This (driverless tech) is amazing for what it can do to help people that are old/poor and live in places with no public transport

Reality check: if there's no public transport, driverless car services probably aren't about to serve those areas either.
Physical tracking cookies and Bluetooth readers for the tire pressure monitors. Plus drones recording major cities to rewind at the scene of anything major.

There’s gps trackers which many cars have something built in also so no need to get out of their seats.
This reads as a criticism of team building (maybe that wasn't your intent, but it was my first reading.)

Strong teams need a balance of transformational leadership, servant leadership, some laissez-fair management and some micromanagement (etc, etc).

I.e. situational leadership.

In my experience, given how many ANDs you need, the most successful teams have a combination of leadership styles and roles from different people at different times. Balancing leadership and responsibilities across people also allows the personal cost of such activities (whether it's emotional labour, political backlash, etc) to be distributed as well.

This, I also believe, is why co-foundership appears so often in stories of successful companies. You always end up with "the leader that is good at X despite Y", and there is always someone who can come in to provide "Y without necessarily X" in a way that makes their joint leadership work in ways that individually they would fail.

I hope for the day where all cars are self-driving. People will cycle more and 40000 families a year will be saved in the US alone.
Most (if not all) digital keyboards also support receiving MIDI which will be played by the piano's own sound engine!

This will probably require assigning the received MIDI to a different channel than 0 to allow simultaneous play without conflicting note offs and sustains.
You're claiming that police chiefs deliberately overreact to these calls in order to put pressure on lawmakers via the FBI and the media?
No, it doesn't depend on any such interpretation. The key word is "average". A majority of stars are red dwarves, and those do in fact last for trillions of years without significant change.
Excel makes such things convenient
Reality check: the main cost driver of bus service are driver salaries.
I think you are mixing units here (km2 vs square mile). According to wikipedia NY density is 11313/km2 which would ranked 18th city in Europe. SF would be 29th with 7194/km2. I would argue that NY public transit is absolutely doing a fine job (cleanliness appart) and it's moving 7.5 million peoples on a weekday (was higher pre-pandemic)

Density is needed for proper public transit and locally accessible services to flourish.

Unfortunately the linked Garnett translation is censored, and then further neutered by the translator who prioritized a very accessible end result at the cost of losing much of the meaning in the source material.

I’d recommend the Penguin Classics Maguire translation, it remains accessible but loses less of the original.
Nice maybe future result of RFC!
For single vehicle systems, maybe. For large multi seat transportation, my bet is maintenance and insurance cost more.

You know what driverless cars can't do? Redirect a passenger to the emergency room due to acute problems that occur in the car.

Driverless isn't magic, it's just a trade, and I'm not entirely convinced it's worth it with our current level of implementation.
Having a GPS location doesn't mean you have a suspect. Unless the person called from their own property (zero chance) or didn't move locations at all after making the call (very unlikely), it would require a substantial investigation that most departments aren't able or willing to do, because the odds of catching someone would be extremely low.
Definitely deserves a deprivation of rights lawsuit against the police/city.
Alternatively: this is San Francisco where on a good day the locals don’t need much excuse to set fire to a car (although I usually associate it with the Giants winning a World Series) and this poor dumb stupid driverless Waymo drove into a celebratory and by the looks of it somewhat drunken crowd on the Streets of Chinatown during the Chinese New Year where in following its prime directive to do no harm, it got itself stuck up the creek without a paddle so to speak. Waymo probably should have accounted for that ahead of time and told their cars not to go near Chinatown this evening.

Welcome to the Year of the Dragon.
It’s worth noting that, while the big 3 providers do gouge for egress, they typically also have superior network performance and reliability. This is especially true when comparing against budget options like Hetzner.
Regarding "USB MIDI adapter": Actually USB MIDI is the lowest common denominator for MIDI keyboards. If you pick up any used MIDI keyboard less than 10 years old, it will have USB. Something in the $40-$60 range on Craigslist is perfect.

The big choice for the beginner (or anyone) is how many keys do you want, and have space for? It goes all the way from 25 keys up to 88.

Then going up in price, models will start to include (in random order) old 5-pin MIDI in and out, velocity sensitive keys, (semi-)weighted keys, aftertouch, inputs for foot controllers, pads/knobs/faders for controlling a DAW, built-in sequencers, external sync in/out, CV and gate outputs for interfacing with modular gear, etc..

Ingress is free because it helps them balance their pipes, and it would be really shitty to charge for DDoS attacks. As far as I can tell, with the exception of some really expensive network environments (e.g. China), nobody has ever charged for ingress.

With an exception to OVH, none of the cheap providers the article has listed have any kind of backbone network. They all rely fully on transit providers. Turns out backbone networks are expensive to operate!

OVH is the sole example of a provider that has a backbone network, and admittedly, it's pretty good. However, nowhere near expansive as the big three, and it falls flat in Asia (which is the hardest to route traffic in). Also OVH has to build datacenters so cheaply that one of them burnt to the ground in recent years...

(Cloudflare has a backbone too, but you have to pay a lot extra to use it. Linode uses the Akamai backbone now but that's a very recent acquisition and it's expected that Akamai will eventually raise costs significantly)

Yes, bandwidth is way too expensive on cloud providers. AWS Lightsail is proof of that. However, I see no reason to believe that this is purely for vendor locking, and nobody has been able to give any evidence of causation between the two beyond "well it's so expensive!!!"
Motorcycle fatalities are 15% of the total and pedestrians are another 16%. Most fatalities are single vehicle accidents.

That 40000 figure is not entirely due to bad drivers, and expecting a single change to solve all problems is very short sighted.
Arguments about driverless cars aside, the youth in this country are seriously lost. It only takes one generation of poor parenting and poor civic policies to ruin a culture.

This kind of thing always has the same weakness: it's extrapolating from a sample size of one. It of course tries to account for that by adding large error margins based on what we know, but for some of them it's pure guesswork that could easily wrong.

It'll even work without coverage in some situations, since roaming is always on for emergency calls, even in your home country.
> Some cloud providers charge nothing, others only start charging after hitting a high threshold from a single instance. Do they not operate infrastructure?

Yes you do pay for the rest of their infrastructure when you rent servers from them...

I'm not saying that the fees aren't extremely overpriced. I know what a gigabit port costs. But saying it's to keep vendor locking is just not true, and nobody has suggested any actual proof of it being true.
Driverless vehicles will revolutionize public transport:

- removes the biggest expense: drivers

- works well with restricted area/route requirements

- is flexible with respect to deployment of services in response to demand

The ultimate goal of public transport should be that it is as flexible as a taxi (which is also public transport) with costs lower than buses or trains which have higher capital costs.
How do they know it's you?
My money is on option 2 with the key factor being that complex, intelligent life takes a long time to develop. Our empirical data (of sample size one) indicates that it takes multiple billions of years to go from single celled life to even quite simple multi-celled life. If we got lucky with that, the average could easily be longer than the age of the universe.
Even if it was true it would be a great argument for driverless bus, not for driverless cars.

The original argument doesn't hold though: even if a bus line isn't profitable in a place because there's not enough people doesn't mean that a cheaper taxi service wouldn't be.
I'm not going to pretend to be some sort of authority on the subject, but personally I think both fit the bill. It is premature to optimize when you don't know how your system performs, and it can be premature to optimize if you might throw the solution away. However that last part isn't always the case. Maybe the reason you throw it away is that another solution is more performant - you had to optimize both to find that out.

To me, the core of the issue is knowing what you're doing. If you know what you're doing then it's generally not premature. You have a reason for what you're doing. You're sure that you're working on the right part of the code and you are properly measuring the difference in a meaningful way.
911 handles multiple non-police emergency services, though. Also, 911 is way easier to remember than a full local number, and works outside your home city.
No.

Everyone knew what the costs were going in.

AWS, cloud was NEVER the cheaper solution. It was never faster, it was never better.

It was easier, and easier came with a price. Like lambs to the slaughter lots of people embraced it. Amazon is a profitable company because of it.
A better way to tell if your password is secure is to
download a gpu dictionary password cracker, and add in a couple of the big leaked password dictionaries, get at least the big ones so you have a few billion passwords and run it for a few hours. It will crack millions of clever passwords like just like that, and the only result is making someone like me wonder how can 7 people come up with the exact same seemingly unintelligible string that long.

As a vistual learner and graphical thinker, those music score on paper are all bullshit to me. Only this can help me out. You can import your own MIDI into it. Practice the shit out of it and at least can play 1 or 2 fairly advanced songs.
Also very few people buy Equinix transit except maybe as a backup.

You buy space in Equinix DCs because they are network neutral and have a high density of ISP POPs, i.e you can light up fibre between your cage and HE, Level3, whatever other transits you want to use + peer with everyone on the local peering fabric super easily.

I consider Equinix transit to be an option only when you really can't be assed to do anything else and you don't intend to hammer the links anyway, otherwise yeah you should be doing all the things above because otherwise you could have rented colo in some shitty backwater DC instead.
