I think he was wrongly assuming a merciful society. Not the crime and punishment one you are championing here.

This will make headshots more precise with machine learning and computer vision. I personally do not like the prospects of judicial killing when “a threat to civilian and officer lives” has been hand waved away again and again.

welcome to the arc of every new and/or innovative technology ever :D

tech stacks, especially of this magnitude run on processes, some machine some human some rube goldberg taped together combination of the two. Code is simply an artifact. 'Evaluating the code', sounds like a rather strange way to appraise the state of twitter's tech.

No. And this is what everyone gets wrong about advancements in technology “replacing peoples jobs” What will happen instead is AI will augment the job to be more productive/ efficient / or give an ability to produce something not possible before. GitHub co-pilot is a good hint as to where programming jobs will be going.

I've sat in at a couple anti-dryer meet ups in my locality (big city, east coast) out of curiosity. Most of the points are valid some are a little outrageous; (dryers sheets disrupt sea turtle populations?) But after reading Sally Heathers book 'The Doomed Dryer Nation'; I decided to give line drying a try. I will say that my sleep improved and some of the daily fatigue I struggled with when I lived with a dryer mostly dissipated. BUT hanging line drying is such a chore it just wasn't sustainable; a big load could take upwards of 3-4hrs a day. So I went back to the dryer. The book is good, looking forward to the doc this fall.

I have a theory about survivor bias and all the VC money raining down on every start up under the sun. Maybe there’s no feedback loop on hiring proper value adding employees because there doesn’t have to be.

Is this sort of thing a boiled frog type slide to surveillance powered totalitarianism or will everyone eventually catch on and demand ubiquitous privacy everywhere?

When hiring developers, fetch a stoic subordinate who is A) good at eye contact and B) able to maintain said eye contact without blinking.

Have this subordinate and the candidate participate in a staring contest. This will show a couple of things about the candidate: A) How well they maintain eye contact (very important for communication) and B) How long it takes them to back down from a challenge; this taps into their primal instincts.

Did coachman immediately retire when cars were invented or did they begin personal drivers or taxi drivers?

The fallacy to these findings and conclusions is that you're measuring processes of your own brand and flavor; the biases are so deep you likely don't recognize them. 'technical', 'problem solving', 'communication' these are all of your own construction, setting, presentation and scoring. Look at the failings of the IQ test for example.

I'm curious if people just really need to learn the talk and the walk of a silicon valley employee to land a job at a FAANG.

I can see a lot of blame here at liberals and progressive. So my question is what would we expect from more conservative right wing politicians? (Looking for honest answers) I am imagining more "tough on crime"

best score was 21. my strategy was to keep the 'ball' as low as possible until it came time to hit the paddle.

Nice Work!

>Headlines like this get people killed. Seriously.

It's amazing we have gotten to this point where any wrong move in front of a cop is more dangerous to the public than any danger the perpetrator of a traffic violation could impose.

Honest question, statistically who is more likely to die in a traffic stop? Police or the suspect?

why is every counterpoint a "SLAMS" headline?

> How to solve self-driving for cars: build digitaly aware roads

This is going to happen. It will be proprietary. Think roads with DRM.

"genocide.bas" sounds familiar what is it?

I remember reverse engineering a malicious Internet Explorer VB script to download and execute sub7.

As a 13 year old this was mind blowing and inspiring, likely equivalent to finding a copy of the anarchist cookbook at a garage sale. The amount of pranks I played on the bullies in school over IRC[0] was one of the most gratifying thing i've ever felt in my entire life.

[0] oddly a small town in Ohio with a population of ~3,000 in 1999 was somehow all connected on IRC, this was well before ICQ or AIM or any social network had peaked.

As work has been accelerated since the pandemic to be much more remote; affecting nearly every salary range, employee surveillance will be a new form of power and control the ruling class will have over the working class. Consequently this power imbalance will lead to lesser ideal working conditions for the working class like longer hours and lower wages.

My money is on a poorly implemented json parser. Especially by the wording in the error message

Why do I get the feeling the “free market capitalists “ are the ones bemoaning 1st amendment rights on private platforms. Oh the irony !

'For everyone asking, but why use a browser technology server side? Just run a binary' or 'Whats old is new again, java etc' - I am sure you've heard of a browser technology that is used server side, javascript, ever hear of nodejs?

The rise of javascript and its server side runtime is due to the immense pressure that language had to evolve to make the web what it is today.

Web-assembly is the next step and evolution of this runtime. I can only imagine the sheer number of man hours poured in to javascript to offer the functionality it has today while balancing with security and sandboxing. Nodejs is a different story; Take a look at Deno and its origin.

Web-assembly is sandbox-able run anywhere, ubiquitous runtime which isn't owned specifically by a corporate overlord, and is also which has/or is set to have the evolutionary pressure javascript has. This is huge! Way to go Wasmer :)

Time money and resources are being spent on a protection from something that should be regulated out of existence. We are now actively innovating against these tracking technologies which we are finding adversarial to our rights to privacy. Isn’t it time we ask our governments to do something about this?

At my job I inherited a codebase which was completely both untested and undocumented aside from a general consensus from the backend guys on how it should behave. Cypress was instrumental in black boxing the behavior of the ui and then testing our refactors and changes against it. It has its worts. The chaining is not intuitive or consistent, the documentation never indicates fully return types or any types for that matter. Also you can only mock xhr requests and not the more modern fetch which is a bit hokey. You have to roll your own. But it’s free and offers a heck of a lot more in stability and features than what’s out there.

Russia has every right to spread disinformation in our country via an administration which was never brought to proper trial because witnesses were silenced. It’s a free country!

>hamper the economy.

what a bs bottom line

So is spreading intentional misinformation protected under free speech? What if for instance someone were to write an article about this gentleman something publicly shaming? That would be libel correct?

It is undoubtedly satire.
