TL;DR Modern medicine is over! Get to the zombie apocalypse shelter! Not really though; everything scary in this article is either wrong, exaggerated or both. Ars Technica explains it expertly:…
> While it is technically, theoretically possible that their system is open to the introduction of these biases but does not actually exhibit those biases in the aggregate, it is astoundingly unlikely. We're in…
I took "systematic bias" to have similar meaning to "systematic error" meaning that there is a constant shift on every data point. Admitting the possibility of bias is very different than admitting bias in every single…
Honestly this is more likely due to the actual outcome being too complex for a headline. "Facebook denies systematic bias but admits their current process allows bad actors to apply bias and takes remediating steps"…
The central thesis here is that APIs should be treated like GUIs. Make them as intuitive as possible to minimize brain space waste (ie. memorization of non-transferable, vendor-specific knowledge) Sadly, the post is too…
> Why on earth isn't there just a generic keyboard-shortcut preference where I can control every possible browser action and its associated keyboard shortcut? It turns out this extension does exist. I just used it to…
That sounds like a scenario for long-form work over a mobile network (eg. on a laptop through a mobile hotspot). Mosh from a laptop is a no-go for me because there's no Windows-based, full-featured terminal emulator…
"Why use this instead of GNU screen?" The low latency features really set this one apart. The smart local echo (it underlines unconfirmed predictions) make it much nicer to use over laggy mobile networks.
I second the asyncio endorsement. I started using Python 3 just to try out asyncio and never went back. It works like a dream.
path=$foo/$bar if [[ $path =~ [[:space:]]*/[[:space:]]* ]]; then echo NOPE else rm -rf $path fi
The title is a bit click-baity and misleading. DevOps isn't dead it's just becoming centralized. The rub seems to be that quality managed services are widely available and affordable enough to obviate the need for…
Home Assistant user here, too. After my house got robbed it was either $1000-$2000 for commercial, cloud-locked systems or Home Assistant with $200 worth of X10 devices and IP cameras. The commercial options couldn't…
Also great is the wow factor when you show off the mobile interface. Material design is a big time crowd pleaser.
Maybe its a cross product? If we assume "Welcome" is a 2x1 matrix and "11" is shorthand for [1 1]
Some great ideas here--a lot of them solve problems I've personally had with bash over the past 15 years--but plenty of these feel like solutions in search of problems. I'm tempted to post my own commentary but I'd…
Updated, thanks
Also, this means that the Venti White Chocolate Mocha actually contains less sugar per unit than Coke: 12oz Coke contains 39g sugar[1] -> 39g/12oz = 3.25 g/oz 20oz White Chocolate Mocha contains 55g sugar -> 55g/20oz =…
Their measurements appear to include whipped cream but this isn't mentioned in the article. For example: the pictured Starbucks Venti White Chocolate Mocha is accused of 18tsp sugar but Starbucks nutrition info[1] says…
Isn't it odd that this press release spends so much time discussing encryption? Neither the FBI nor Apple will be touching any encryption functions of the device. It seems the primary aim of this statement is to prevent…
Don't forget early OS X. So slow it was nearly unusable until performance improvements in 10.3.

The goal being Alice will transmit her methods and habits to the entire team.
Hopefully by then someone will notice Alice should be a team lead or manager due to her pragmatic and customer focused nature.
