If you're also wondering what are the SF7, SF9, SF11 and unused SF12, I just found [0]

No, the poster above is right. There was an article about this a month ago or so. Anyways, the TLDR is that vehicles need to charge more often than just nightly and not just at the main depot. Transit agencies need to build heavy duty fast charging infrastructure scattered across many locations in the city. This has been so far a large upfront cost which holds transit EV expansion at bay.

Does Microsoft (ad owner) or Google (ad provider) perform the fingerprinting in this case?

Am I wrong thinking that after a few weeks of cutting the leaves, the root will become gigantic and will keep producing leaves at a faster rate? The only way to get rid of dandelions is to pull the ever growing root from the ground.

I wish I had an answer to this question, too. It boils my blood when my uncle says to stop fussing, species that don't adapt go away daily. I tell him they are indicator species for the general health of the ecosystem. I make an intelligent guess that these issues will percolate up the food chain and ultimately affect humans, but I don't have any solid answer.

These are good points. Twitter has means to prevent disinformation campaigns using relatively simple math. The question we need to ask is why they don't do it.

What you say concerns me as PIA user. What do you base your allegations on? It seems that PIA sponsors a lot of organizations [0], which I don't think they would if they were not profitable.

How come? I found this very empowering. It's just the motivation I needed this morning, and perhaps every day. It makes me realize that I'm here at work for a reason, and browsing hn is not one of them.

I don't see Uber on the list, what brand are they under?

What's the rationale behind this? Also, can someone explain me why Slack forces Google-themed emojis? I personally like the Windows design with black stroke

Looking for which hardware is affected, I only found a statement form AMD [0] tldr, Ryzen CPUs are fine

> "AMD is aware of an issue with some older generation processors following installation of a Microsoft security update that was published over the weekend. AMD and Microsoft have been working on an update to resolve the issue and expect it to begin rolling out again for these impacted shortly."

Microsoft employee here. Today is also the Connect conference. My colleagues who worked on live share knew all along that Connect is their deadline.

Which makes me curious, does Github know what Microsoft is going to announce at their conference, or did Microsoft knew what Github is building?

I also got the firefox for android after seeing the sync feature. However the tabs don't sync by default and I haven't seen any guide on how to use this feature. I'd appreciate any pointer in the right direction.

I'd like to use it with fastmail in firefox

I never considered the Precision line. I just saw that I can customize pretty much everything about it - cool! I'm considering getting it. How is it in your experience? Are there any bios or driver issues? Did you try installing linux? (I have twitter link in my profile for DM)

Awesome, I'm in.

Looks great! I'm inclined to host my recipes there.

But before I do that, what is the future for this site?

* Do you monetize by getting a cut from the shopping cart? * Will I be able to easily download my data in the future, like I do with git repositories?

Thank you for sharing. Today I learned that wage labor was intended to be a transitional relationship until free labor can be achieved.

I found the switch to be incredibly easy with LastPass, or any password manager for this matter.

The extensions I use work in either browser so I just install these, and after couple minutes the switch is complete.

He is at liberty to be very selective about who contributes to the kernel, and how they do it. He's blunt, picky and pragmatic, but he has a valid point from the compsci and project management point of view:

> I happen to believe that not having a kernel debugger forces people to think about their problem on a different level than with a debugger. I think that without a debugger, you don't get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different _level_.

Besides describing programming concepts, this paper reveals what it was like to be a programmer:

As I understand it, it was expected from a programmer to completely understand workings of the algorithm and a tracing subroutine seems to not be in favor. Currently the systems we're working with are so complex that we can't comprehend all algorithms and need to use debugging and tracing tools:

> However the interpretive routine retains control and so it is possible to print out extra information about the course of the programme. This extra information makes it possible to follow the meanderings of the program in detail thus helping to locate the errors of a programme. This is not a good method of finding errors in programmes as it takes a long time and the programmers knowledge of the programme is not utilized - as it should be - in tracing the fault.

Other bits I enjoyed reading:

Writing good docs was hard even back in 1951!

> there still remains the considerable task of writing a description so that people not acquainted with the interior coding can nevertheless use it easily. This last task may be the most difficult.

Timeless piece of advice

> All complexities should - if possible - be buried out of sight.

In my recent project I decided to not follow the best practices, but focus on getting things done. As a result, I have a almost finished, working project, and got lots of satisfaction - just enough to power through the refactoring. Have I stuck to the "best practices" or tried to explore a cutting edge project, I would have probably given up by now.

Anyways, now I should bring out the Raspberry Pi and get it to do something, without overthinking it.

The ToS is a good find, thanks! Perhaps I'll need to stop using WhatsApp for the 14 days, plus a few more days for a good measure.

If I delete my Facebook account but keep using WhatsApp, do I limit amount of collected data? Is this a viable strategy or do I need to remove WhatsApp as well?

Are these issues easily fixed by refactoring? As a newcomer to Unity, I'm ok writing poorly performing quick code to experiment, and properly implement the code at a later stage. I'm afraid that I may burn out too quickly if my first interaction with a platform is too much concerned with patterns.

Our current benchmarks tell us what's happening after OS sends keystroke to the text editor and before we hand off rendering to the OS. This tool has potential to tell us what's happening outside these bounds.

I would like to see a visualization of the recorded sound, so that I can set the "input" frame to exactly when I hit the keyboard. I'll even pay to have this accurately aligned.

Good job so far!

The stack is not stable and surprises keep popping up in development, after bootstrapping a new app.

I tried out A-Frame for a prototype and I liked that I was able to set up a simple VR project in a few minutes with no prior VR experience and without having to learn React. I'm sticking to A-Frame

Ditto! I feel the same way. I learned both English and programming on Delphi 3. The first program I wrote showed and hid a picture on the screen. I wrote a few games, but didn't understand types and generics until years later.

It was console.log() all the way
