I've always found examples like "couples sitting in a restaurant, ignoring each other in favor of their phones" as kind of hilariously judgemental. Almost in the same way that ignorant extroverts view introverts.

If they're a couple, why would they feel the need to always talk? You don't need to always be talking to enjoy just doing your own thing in each other's presence. Even prior to the proliferation of smartphones this was pretty normal in my experience, you spend most of your time having the ability to talk to the people you like, at some point you run out of things to say and are comfortable enough with each other to just do your own thing while in each other's company. It says nothing about their connection with each other.
Use StockFish to predict the next move, and only store the diff between the actual move and the prediction.

Or, better, get a ranked list of all possible moves from stockfish, and use a variable-length integer to encode the position in the list. Then the best move takes ~1 bit, and worse moves take more bits. (And we can do fun things like compute how bad a player is by how big their game is after compression.)

I guess from some sense, all web apps and all GUI apps using the GPU are using parallelism. That's almost everything. Those are both leveraging shared-nothing type architectures so you can think in a single thread and apply it to concurrent work loads for parallelism.

Does that not count? What would satisfy this category?
That doesn't really make any sense in the context of a franchise. AFAIK McDonalds franchises are required to buy those specific Taylor machines.

If it weren't an oligopoly I'd be less inclined to endorse government interference in wage setting. I'd frankly rather the twin cities just spin up their own rideshare marketplace, they have a great carshare system[0], would love to see them expand into rideshare too.

Ah, so this is just a backdoor fee in the franchise agreement?

You (the franchisee) must use this specific machine that breaks all the time and for repairs to that machine you must use this specific vendor with whom we (the franchisor) have a "special" deal.
It looks like you should be smoking a pipe while lounging in it.

I think both are right in different ways. Apple isn't a big enterprise player as far as (except for development), I give all my employees macs to do their daily work on. You don't walk into a bank and see iMacs sitting there usually. So from the desktop computer side, they are not that deep into enterprise. HOWEVER, iPhones, yes. Tons of companies issue iPhones as their company phone. Walk into a store, its getting more and more common that the cashier is using an iPad hooked up to some sort of payment processing device. That is where Apple has their business adoption. Or I take my kids to the trampoline park and the clerk hands me an iPad to fill out the waiver. Their enterprise isn't really that deep in desktops, but it for damn sure is in portable device (iPhone and iPad).
This works if you know about SIM swapping on day one of your life on the Internet, and refuse from day one. I probably have hundreds of Internet accounts, and no straightforward way to know which ones use SMS for 2-factor without trying to log in to them all. Further, many don’t use SMS for login but they do use it for password resets. So my only hope, if I want to clean house, is to sit down and try resetting my password on 400+ accounts one by one.

There's even documentation. Clicking on the (i) icon says "Place tiles on the grid to create a path for your marble". It would be so easy to just change it to "Place all tiles..."
Does it make sense though?

Any USB drive is so super cheap these days, you can easily get something like 128 Gb for $15. Even if you live in an area where it’s not as easy (e.g. not very developed places), you’re likely to find, say, 32 Gb for less than $10. So I don’t know, maybe someone needs that 4 or 8 Gb limitation, but I believe it’s a non-issue in most cases.

Also, on top of that, we do have a very speedy Internet I’m so many places. Which means if you’re limited here, you can go with the net-installer. If you’re limited on both, more likely it’s a very niche case and you can have a spare large disk to download everything offline.
I wish it was a specific credential in the US. Maybe with that extra gatekeeping it could prevent companies from abusing the role.
Bugs are the fun part, though maybe not the bugs that end the game. Level 11 you can place the minimum number of teleport tiles and lose, but the ball doesn't shatter and finds its way to the next teleporter, turning the color back on.

Interesting how much has changed since 2015. Apple's M chips have made RISC is a clear yes now. Rust has a pretty fancy type system. Not Haskell-fancy but still. Functional programming is pretty much an expected feature now.

I suspect what is being said is to compare existing stat textbook but more likely existing stat result of a web site using r. Not to run r but run these and compare the result.

I did the same to r using ibm spss. Not that I trust that more. Just to make sure when newly program you have used the right parameters. If they compare, you finish learning and switch over. A cautious approach when your job is at stake.
Why are all these problems? Wasn't this solved already years ago in another software, I mean, Xorg? Why do we need to revisit the problem again?

I’m sure that’s been discussed at length.
my generalized thoughts (and there are exceptions so don’t bother replying with “what about XYZ” because its a generalization):

1. Apple focus on customer story for every product. They may get it wrong sometimes but every product is sold with “this is how it will impact your life for the better”.

2. Apple understand brand and fashion. Unlike other companies, they don’t typically rush out the gate with a million variants to try and capture every part of the market. They don’t let it cheapen their brand and they avoid brand fatigue.

3. They stick with things for longer . Other companies tend to throw products at the wall early and hope they stick. Apple comes in later and then doesn’t relent for a long time compared to competitors.

4. They try and not focus on just specs. Other brands focus on features, and do a really bad job at telling you why you need it.
What do you mean by "dl the totp authenticator"? But the answer is no. Without the TOTP secret no one else can generate valid codes.

If you sync your secrets to some cloud service then yes, you are trusting that cloud service. And if you let your TOTP cloud service reset your account with an email then it probably isn't the most secure option.

But the important thing here is that the user is in control. They can memorize their secret if they want to an no one can take it from them. Or they can publish it online if they don't like security. With SMS 2FA you need to trust your telecom provider, I very much don't.
Imo headsets will be long obsolete before they are viable and will be replaced with something else entirely.
McDonald's are the bad actor here.

There is two "McDonald's" the corporation, that requires a specific machine and by extension a specific company to repair it exclusively, and then there is a ton of "McDonald's" franchises who are the victims (paying the literal price).

So McDonald's corporate didn't get out-maneuvered, they just found a new way to extract money from their franchises, who tried to fight back (and kind of lost the first battle).

Sounds like the FTC/DOJ are stepping in to give the franchises more ammo to fight back with.
Oh please. They didn't even claim to be a member of AIE, they just said their university/degree was "accredited" by them. You know: the absolute bare minimum requirement to even call it a degree? You're really impressed by that? Would you be impressed if someone told you they were a member of IEEE? It's just all the same bullshit.
It's wage theft, because the law says you owe employees minimum wages by law, and if you aren't paying them that amount, you're stealing the excess from your employees.

The fact that you think you should be allowed to pay people less than the legal requirement is not relevant, the law says you owe people $X, so if you pay them less than X, it is theft.

The problem Lyft and Uber have is the same AirBnB is starting to run into: if your business model is misclassifying things (employees in the lyft/uber case, and hotels in the airbnb case, etc), eventually either (as in NY) court cases will force you to pay what you owe, or as here legislation will be passed to make it so that whatever the company is misclassifying things as, will be covered by the regulations the apply to what they actually are.

Seriously, if your business model is pretending that your specific implementation of X is not the same X covered by existing laws, your implementation will eventually have to comply with the regulations that apply to X.

"Software", like "science", is a broad term. Just like there are many kinds of scientists and you could be, say, a biologist or a physicist, there are many entirely disparate fields of software engineering. At the end of the day, software itself is just a means to an ends: solving a problem. Solving some of these problems like the one that GP discussed have more to do with math than programming. The programming is mostly the implementation of the math. So if you're not versed in that math, of course you wouldn't understand the code that's being written to implement it.

Building machine learning systems is vastly different from building operating systems which is vastly different from embedded systems which is vastly different from networking which is vastly different what most of us do (myself included), which is building CRUD apps. We're just solving different problems. Of course there are common themes to writing good code, just like there are common themes to performing science, but the code and solutions will look almost nothing alike.
Thanks.... I was hoping you'd say something that wasn't going to tempt me further.
Yes. More people should take note that there's always unintended consequences with price controls. It usually makes things much worse.

All franchise brands do this once they have sufficient power relative to the franchisees.

Hotel brands force hotel owners to use only certain vendors, taking a kickback from the vendor. Same with restaurants/etc.

I can give a specific example. Roughly 8 years ago, IHG hotels required all of their branded hotels to only sell Coca Cola products. The only reason this would happen is if Coke paid IHG.

It has nothing to do with a person’s hotel stay. It just restricts hotel owners and hotel guests from being able to sell and buy their preferred products, such as Red Bull or Starbucks or Pepsi/Tropicana, for the benefit of Coke and IHG.

That's similar to my initial response.

The museum treatment is the end for any artform, IMHO; it's petrification. Did rock'n'roll grow and move and thrive after its Hall of Fame opened? I suppose there was grunge.

It freezes the artform in a certain state (and by who and how is that state chosen?) and defines it that way for eternity. That's death - growth and change are ended; like the dearly departed it's defined by memories of it, not who it will be today or tomorrow; it's no longer doing something new that will surprise you or make you uncomfortable; it's sometimes reenacted by people who try to represent it, who miss the point of art - to express something of your own.
I will verify my identity for unemployment benefits, but not for this. It's only a matter of time before a breach happens, especially since I am not verifying with a local government but rather a private entity, who do not have strict mandated security measures (or at least are likely to violate them).
i don't think style-enforcers are 'confused' and unable to read code, it's that consistent style makes reading code a LOT easier.

if the same thing is being done in two different ways, you have to actually read and think about the both chunks of code to see that they're the same.

with consistent style you can essentially speed-read a codebase because things are predictable.

with inconsistent style, you're constantly reading slightly-different pieces of code and figuring out "is this different purely for style reasons, or was there a reason that one section if different?"
Using code to code is just faster and simpler than telling an AI to do something, it not being exactly right, wasting time trying to tell it to do it right, and then needing to fix it manually but not having the skills to correct it bc you never code. I don’t know any dev that would say “we need more code faster, even if it sucks”. The real need is the opposite, we need as little code as possible, that is also good code, and done in the time it takes to get it right.

Or, since the overall demand for transportation hasn't changed, jobs shift over time to ones with less exploitative terms.
Not really. They haven’t been doing that for a few years now.

They are just going to leave the market if it becomes unprofitable. I see people complaining all the time about ride prices so the consumer doesn’t want this and im sure the people driving aren’t happy to lose the income as well.

I mean, your company or your project may require you to write type hints and use a type checker tool. Not that Python the language makes typing mandatory.

I think of McDonald's as being pretty savvy, having dominated for decades in a competitive domain with large volume and low margins. In violation of Hanlon's Razor, I'd bet the reason is more malice rather than stupidity. Or rather, the specific form of malice more precisely called short-sighted greed.
I wonder how the people who relied on income from driving must be enjoying the reduced traffic.
I think the big question is how did no FAA or whatever inspection show all those safety implications until now? What are they missing at other Aircraft manufacturers?

Yeah, that sort of works, but I think there's something meaningful to be gained by bringing the embodied experience into it, even if it's just simulated.

On a related note, we're probably also less than a decade away from telepresence via a humanoid robot at an affordable price.
It's just a low-value analogy. Wikipedia says there's 10,000 cities in the world. Montreal cannot possibly be the exemplar of whatever this post is trying to say.
Is this specifically involving a hydrazine? I got downvoted for this yesterday.

"Even the cultivated A. bisporus contains small amounts of hydrazines, the most abundant of which is agaritine (a mycotoxin and carcinogen). However, the hydrazines are destroyed by moderate heat when cooking."

Soon the cheapest Ikea sofa I could find in 2015 (about 200 $) has lasted me a decade. Sure, the cover worn is worn out and covered with another textile for that reason, but it's still usable. I can sit on it and watch my TV, which is even older.

Another reason in an increasingly long list of reasons that being a T-Mobile postpaid customer is frustrating: Customers haven't been able to manage our own physical or electronic SIMs for almost two years. T-Mobile shut down the online self-service process with the claim of making it "more secure".

Meanwhile, SIM swaps continue by malicious actors with seemingly nothing that can be done to stop them. So I can't swap my own SIM without waiting on hold for an hour or two, either by chat or on the phone, but the scammers can do it with apparent impunity. (I have tried messaging T-Mobile's help group on Twitter but they seem to be the only competent support available and thus are also incredibly backlogged.)

I get that providers have to cater to the lowest common denominator but I wish there was a MVNO or similar who would allow use of authenticator keys and maximum level self service, with the understanding that if I break or lose my authentication methods, I am out of luck. Right now, my current carrier seems the worst of both choices.
I've come to think we need to ignore the current science system/establishment and start over with something¹ better.

I'm torn on this.

On one hand, I'd love to see intersections react to traffic in real-time to optimize traffic flow.

On the other hand, I have an "intelligent" intersection near my house and the cycle that the lights follow is something I can't figure out. There are four traffic directions, left and right turns from all traffic directions, and an LRT line parallel to one of the roads. I'm absolutely sure there's a pattern, but given the number of inputs I don't think I'll ever figure it out. Some of the inputs are invisible (e.g., incoming LRT cars hidden by a hill).

I wonder if there's been any study weighing the benefits of a predictable light cycle vs an intelligent cycle.
I imagine this is a recruiting video based on the hashtags used at college job fairs and postings. The age choices were intentional, IMHO.
According to the article, Uber and Lyft made the decision to stop operating, not the government.
Uber and Lyft can easily afford to pay their workers the minimum wage, it would however hurt their record profits and set a precedence that they would need to pay a living wage across all cities. Amazingly all other businesses in this city are already able to afford the minimum wage. This is a perfect example of a company tossing some of the lowest income members of society literally to the street rather than pay them a living wage. Thank god we have minimum wage laws.
On crates.io you can't unpublish a crate, you can only yank[1], which marks a package version as unusable as a new dependency. Existing dependencies on it will continue to work though, and it's still publicly available.

"This hole caused the entire building to collapse" is really overstating things since a package depending on all versions of all packages in npm results in the same behavior, which lots of people believe should be how npm should be treating publishing anyways.

The people who were mad were the tiny number of people who expected unpublishing to work, tried to unpublish during that week or two and found it unavailable.
