Worth noting that there is an Instagram Hyperlapse-type app on Android called "Gallus". It's made by some guy (e.g. lacks polish), and apparently isn't perfect on all devices (1), but my experience has been that it yields as good if not better outcomes on my Nexus 5 than Instagram's app on my iPhone.

It has gone almost entirely unnoticed, but it creates outputs a world better than this Microsoft app. I get that they're going for 'the videos you already have', but if I have a mobile device with so many sensors, why wouldn't I use them?

(1) - I mention that because whenever something pushes the edge, if someone finds that it doesn't work on their own Android handset, they tend to be the absolute loudest about it, declaring that therefore it must not work on anyone's handset. It is the most bizarre aspect to apps in Android land.
This information is merely interesting for some academic researches on some very specific messages corpus. But in the real world, I cannot efficiently evaluate the accuracy because it depends on zillions of parameters. Moreover, since rspamd uses not only statistics but a number of sources, such as DNS lists, SPF, DKIM, hashes databases and so on, it is literally impossible to be determined about preciseness.
It is within the realm of reasonable possibility that future AI will come to embody the very traits that mankind attributed to gods in our mythical tales. They could tap into the worldwide networks to become omnipresent and omnipotent. They could have capacity of intelligence far exceeds human thought, broaching what many would perceive as divine thought. The worlds and stars above us would be their dwellings. And they would have the capacity to engineer new lifeforms.

Some would likely imagine these machines may actually pick up the mantle of a deity, with humans serving them. I find that unlikely, and rather subscribe to the theory that humans as we know them will simply fade away as relics of their lineage. Declining birth rates in first would counties is a sign of that; it will only continue as mankind continues to spend more time building smarter machines, and less time building babies. This is, of course, not a bad thing. The machines are not a replacement for mankind, but rather a continuation. They will be mankind, just as our primitive ancestors were. The machines will be humans in a different, perhaps more godlike, form.

Also from the article: "A quantum computer could also crack the most sophisticated encryption in use today."

I think this gives the impression that all encryption methods known today fail in the face of a quantum computer. But this is not true. There are a wide array of "post-quantum cryptography algorithms" [1], or encryption schemes thought to be secure against quantum attacks.

I suppose the author might have a particular scheme in mind which he considers the "most sophisticated."

Unless you need a custom error type for some particular intentional reason, it is currently very simple to instead throw Box<Error> to integrate all Errors into one type. I have not needed to unify error types into a custom type.

Rust's error handling can be handled in a much cleaner and more expressive way than exceptions are handled and they are fully integrated into the type system. I don't know what advantages exceptions have.

How can you judge someone on anything but intentions? Nobody knows the future, nor can we ever say what would have happened if an action hadn't been taken.

If drove drunk and ran over a pedestrian, and he turned out to be a mass murderer on the way to strike again, you should still go to jail. You didn't intend good or act morally based on your knowledge at the time, and society would do well to discourage people from following your example.

We'll never know all the outcomes from Snowden's actions, good or bad. We'll never know what would have happened if he'd kept quiet. But why did he do it, and what did he believe would happen if he did or didn't speak up? That's the question. Not easy to answer, but it's the moral question.
While this is true, it turns out the lack of buttons isn't as limiting as you might think. You may not have haptic feedback, but you still have the ability to explore the screen using your spacial/tactile senses. By touching the screen and dragging your finger around you can explore what is displayed on the screen. The phone will read aloud the label of what ever item your finger is touching.

Branson tells that story in his autobiography, Losing My Virginity. It's probably not fanciful to think that it happened given the crazy things he has done in his life.

The "law startup" space is pretty active, but I think it helps to break things down a bit. Most probably would fit into one of these categories:

(1) Startups that aim for the consumer market by replacing lawyers in some way (e.g., LegalZoom, Shake, or other document automation software companies)
(2) Startups that aim for the consumer market by connecting people with lawyers (e.g., Priori Legal)
(3) Startups that aim for the legal support/services market by offering cheaper/better alternatives to existing software offerings (e.g., Ravel Law for legal research or Clio for practice management)
(4) Startups that aim for the legal support/services market by innovating in areas that traditionally have been inefficient and/or paper-intensive (e.g., Lex Machina for IP analytics or eDepoze for depositions)
Indeed.

And to be clear, I'm not saying we shouldn't be moving away from the CBC ciphers as fast as possible - just that dishing out a B grade for supporting a large number of users is not a good way of accomplishing that.
I am not completely against de-facto standards, but, in the TLS space, Chacha20/Poly1305 is not one. At this time it's mostly used only by Google/Chrome (AFAIK, no other clients support it); we'd need to see better browser support (multiple organisations) and wider server-side support before we can accept it on the basis of widespread use.

Accepting non-standard crypto is a slippery slope, which is why I'd rather take a very conservative approach.

P.S. You mean RFC 7539, which came out only a couple of days ago. Now we only need another RFC for the use in TLS.
Best title ever ...
This is what Rust does. Not to try to summarize the article, but functions which could 'throw exceptions' instead of returning type T, return type Result<T, E>, where E is an Error type. The try!() macro wraps an expression that could be an error, returning early with the error value if it is an error and evaluating to the non-error value if it is not an error.

> Long-term, [fighting back] doesn't really have much of an effect.

I wonder about that. People like to fight about things. Someone who is ranting on the net about -- say -- Rust is not doing things that actually hurt people very much. Might that be a great benefit?

I observed a couple of decades ago that the creation-evolution debate was a wonderful thing, since it kept a bunch of angry, annoying people (on both sides!) engaged in relatively harmless pursuits that the rest of use are free to ignore. Perhaps the same is true of other contentious issues.

Despite what the 24-hour news channels suggest, we live in the most peaceful, nonviolent era in all of human history. How much of that is due to the fact that people can blow of steam using communications media?

(That said, I do prefer discussions that avoid becoming flamefests. That part about "... that the rest of us are free to ignore" is an important consideration.)
Third Parties: Inside the Non-Bi-partisan Offices of New York State
Checked exceptions turn error handling into nearly almost the multiple-return handling that Rust has. In my opinion, to achieve big advantages that exceptions offer, you should only have a small number of try/catch blocks. You only catch when you can reasonably expect to handle the error and that's it.

Checked exceptions make you check for errors almost everywhere. Rust makes you check everywhere. They're almost the same thing. But I'll take Rust's method over checked exceptions any day; all is better than almost all. And for the type of projects Rust is built for, it's the right choice. But for error handling in general, if you don't care about the cost, unchecked exceptions are superior to both.

Not only do I disagree with the description of Big Bang Theory as "nerd blackface" (and, in fact, find that description offensively trivializing of the actual nature and impact of blackface, but that's getting tangential), but clearly the description is more applicable to Scorpion, in which, unlike Big Bang Theory:

1. All the hyper-intelligent characters that are part of the main recurring cast are male (BBT has a 4:2 gender ratio in the characters portrayed as unusually intelligent),

2. The one female character that is part of the team with those characters is a female who is explicitly part of the team to, as described upthread, "lubricate their social interactions." (BBT has a range of social ineptitude among the intelligent characters, including one of the intelligent female characters as particularly socially inept.)

3. Is, rather than a deliberately and overtly ridiculous sitcom, a drama billed as reality-based.

> I'd think by and large you would evalute remote workers by theit work output

Which is what? Lines of code? I think that's even worse.

How do you determine how much work to assign someone if estimates are meaningless? How do you determine if someone is productive or is doing one hour's work per week?

Aside from insults, I don't really see any answers. Have you ever been in a PM role?

Again, if you adjust estimates as you're doing the work ... as in, it's more complex than you thought, so you adjust the estimate ... why are estimates a bad metric and what metric (something that can be quantified) would you recommend?
I'm glad to see other people appreciate it :)

> sometimes to the tune of hundreds of dollars a month

I spent a while trying to work out whether these prices were weekly or monthly. The only clue is a single reference in the article:

> 500+ more dollars per month for the exact same apartment anywhere in North Seattle

So I'm guessing these are all monthly figures.
This is just not as big of a problem as you think it is. Most blind folks I know rave about their iPhones and generally don't feel limited by it like they might have with their BrailleNotes or mediocre screenreaders/a11y tools on android. Many iOS apps also have a fairly accessible default state, assuming devs didn't go overboard with custom everything up the wazoo with no care for accessibility.
MiniHack is my go-to as well; it's really well done and it's hard to see me moving off of it any time soon.

The 'c' key is not intuitive at all. If anything, it should be the Escape key.

I instinctively tried to scroll down past the ad, then noticed the article was bobbing on the right. I left without reading it. I shouldn't have to do a special action just to get to your content. Scrolling is intuitive, moving the mouse to the right side of the screen and waiting for an animation to move the content into view is not intuitive or user-friendly. I'm sure your advertisers love this though. I'd never heard of your site before today, you just lost a potential new reader because of this style of advertising.
First check if your ISP blocks port 80. Unless your router is bridged, you need to open up the fire-wall for incoming traffic on port 80. You will most likely find this under "Game & Application Sharing" or "Port Forwarding / Port Triggering" in your router's admin interface. Try forwarding port 80 to your work-station, install node.js and run the HTTP-server-example. Then ask a friend if he/she can connect to your IP via the browser.

When you got port-80 working, you need some hardware: A cheap server and a cable to connect it to the router. An old laptop will do as server (KVM and UPS for free).

You also need to decide what software to run, I would go with Ubuntu server as it's the most friendly. Create a bootable USB-stick.

Setup SSH so that you can access the server from your work-station/laptop.

Signup to a DNS service and point a domain name to your IP.
I would start with Nuance. They're into speech.
VBA also sucks a lot of people into programming proper. A few years ago I started by recording macros and then reading the code they generated, then writing my own code. I learned what a database was by making a sales lead tracker in Access.

> Depends if you think IQ improves over time (which is a big ask)

Intelligence development certainly is both heavily dependent on environment and can change for a given individual if the environment changes.

A quite well designed study on this topic is the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study that shows that adopted children have an IQ more similar to their social parents than their biological parents. It further showed that earlier adoption (= more exposure to new environment) meant higher correlation.

Whats more important however is the fact that IQ as measured is not a very good indicator for future performance. Motivation, especially achievement motivation has been shown to be at least as important for a successful professional life. And achievement motivation has been shown to improve strongly when grading based on individual performance improvement, e.g. measuring the relative performance gains (see e.g. Rheinberg & Krug, 1999).

"Mom, it's for chemistry homework I swear!"
That's an idea. But the problem is once the petition is accepted the employer could reduce the non-immigrant's salary. I'm not a lawyer but I don't think it's illegal.

The main issue is that H1B workers have very little rights. If they get let go, they technically have to leave the country in the next 24 hours - the 30 day grace period is a myth. They are very easy to bully and put up with a lot of shit from their employer simply to be able to stay in the country.

One solution would be to grant an H1B that would be valid even after termination/resignation - maybe for a certain amount of time like a month or two. This would allow a worker to leave an unreasonable employer and give him a chance to find a new gig.

However, I also believe that there is no talent shortage in tech and the H1B program is used to try to drag wages down.
Banner service targeting eCommerce niche
I've lived here for 3 decades. No one here calls it that, and the google hits are (1) fairly few and (2) mostly google treating it as a synonym for "silicon valley" and (3) actual hits are for a not-well-known recent comedy news show.

I certainly did not deserve downvotes for speaking the truth. It's not a thing, it's not widely used, it's a recent one-off joke -- and if you want to make fun of silicon valley (which of course has many faults), "silly" is simply not what this place is like.
