I mean, the U.S. has been caught running interrogation black sites in our own borders, so the comparison extends further than even some of the other commenters are admitting.
I've been anticipating this, glad it's released! I started using Bevy a few months ago on version 0.4 and have had a really great experience learning the tool and getting help from the community. The documentation isn't as full as I'd like, but there's lots of examples and people available to answer questions. This post is just to encourage anyone interested to go ahead and try it out.
1) Most Ask PG questions are dumb.
2) YC Interviews start this week.
I feel like all my PR efforts are focused on sending one email to one person and hoping to get one link back from it, or writing one blog post and hoping google will pick it up.

Surely there are more efficient ways to promote myself than this one-at-a-time approach.
That's a very interesting essay, but I don't think it squares with the view that the ability to do maths is extremely difficult to teach. Sure, you can teach proof techniques and do example questions, but the actual ability to see ahead and know what to do depends heavily on their natural ability, or, as some researchers claim, on their exposure to maths in the first few years of their life.

I think it may work for other subjects, but not maths.
It's only a dead end if you're assuming a situation where people would be doing this for long periods of time. If you're just switching viewports, changing the view of a CAD drawing or performing other infrequent tasks then this sort of user interface would be ok, and quite intuitive.
Of course, in order not to change the channel, you'll have to stand very still...
I think this redesign is definitely an improvement over existing design. What do you think?

Oh, the irony is killing me.
SEEKING WORK | Remote | Senior Full-Stack Web Developer

Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JXFcbOkByavrospLzkUvQ671RHJ...

Email: soft.desk0874@fastmail.com

I'm an accomplished senior engineer with 17 years of experience building products and solving problems. I'm technology agnostic; I use the best tool for the job. I'm also full stack. I like building features as a vertical slice through all layers of the stack, from the database all the way up through the frontend. I've worked at companies of all size, from 10 man startups to Disney.

I'm a no-nonsense greybeard who gets things done, but I also keep up to date with all the latest toys. I remember when SPAs were written in Adobe Flex and run on the flash plugin and I've also used react hooks in anger. This gives me a unique perspective and judgement that comes in handy when evaluating new technologies, building new products, making existing products work better and solving difficult problems.
Look at the percentage of GDP that the US spends on healthcare.

Wealth is a terrible proxy for contribution to society.
> It’s client apps who verify (via attestation) that the code inside an SGX enclave is what they expect it to be, and clients are open source.

If the attestation signature matches the published enclave code, then we can know if there's a match. So either there's a missing mitigation, which no one ever has complained about, or the running enclave code doesn't match the source, which also no one ever has complained about. Without independent audit, there is no verification and we have established that independent parties do not care.

> Only private contact discovery depends on trusting SGX.

uh, no. this is demonstrably and obviously wrong.
Put OP out of a job, why don't you!
Well, it's not particularly static. I get regular updates to the ML model (which is where the vast majority of the value comes in), and other updates that have been useful (the ability to sync mute status between hardware and software, so you don't get the infamous "double mute").
very nice program

Yes, shouting at elected officials totally compares to forcing your way into the Capitol, making congresspeople flee for their lives, looting their offices, and killing a cop.
Does that imply that people in the year 2000, before most of these platforms existed, couldn't participate in any public debate?
Do you a single fact to back that up? I don’t even like Kamala but I don’t think she set up a bail fund for the police, though she has called herself “America’s top cop” so it wouldn’t surprise me.

Possibly due to the lack of LTO, Link-Time Optimization. Rust standard library and user program get separately compiled and needs a special procedure to inline them out. I couldn't find Cargo.toml used in this benchmark but it ought to contain `lto = true` somewhere in the profile section to get the optimal performance especially for this kind of tight loops. (It makes compile slower, unfortunately, and no profile currently turns that on by default.)
Apple devices have been found to phone home much less frequently than the alternative.

>A new study has found that a stationary iPhone sends data 50 times less frequently to Google's servers than a stationary Android phone.

That's according to a 55-page report titled 'Google Data Collection', carried out by Professor Douglas C Schmidt, professor of computer science at Vanderbilt University.

The study comes as Google faces criticism and now a lawsuit over the revelation that turning off Location History does stop it tracking iPhone and Android users' location.

He figures that out in his 2nd article, where he now finds Rust is 1/8th of the time of Node.js.
For some definition of "functional" that was appropriate when LISP was discovered, and of course any claim about LISP tends to be met with, "which one?"

LISP really deserves to be "grandfathered in" as the original functional programming language, but if it were discovered today, we'd likely call it a multi-paradigm language that supports functions as first-class entities.

And as a "programmable programming language," we can use LISP to implement many other paradigms, including what we now consider "functional" programming.
You can make that choice. On the other hand, if you decide on not making the situation right on that, you'll alienate not only accessibility-focused users, but also a very loud minority - some of whom are influential across tech (or tech-adjacent) communities.
Lena151's tutorials were how I got into RE back when I was yet to install WinXP SP1.
What I fail to understand is this teachers assumption of financial responsibility for an expense outside their contract. What kind of union are they running? Seriously, if all of the teachers simply refused to purchase mandated equipment for their students, the district would either have to assume that responsibility, or change policy. By "doing the best for the students", the teacher allows the district to go unaccountable for their decisions, perpetuating the problem.

I love teachers, family is full of them, and maybe they shouldn't allow themselves to be used so ruthlessly by the state?
Yep, and I suspect that particular moral conviction may be the root of the whole thing.

The overly-complex moral system that conservatives have is one of the main reasons I left conservatism behind. A plethora of things that should be practical matters just become all gummed-up and given significance they shouldn't be given. And in addition to the cases like this one where it's self-destructive, there are many many more cases where it inspires undue judgement towards others.

That's why, for me, morality is being good to others. That's where it starts and ends. Everything else is just deciding how best to accomplish that in context. If a moral assertion can't be traced back to the good it does for real people, it isn't valid in my book.

So to take this case: "Each person is responsible for his or herself and it's immoral to depend on the government for support or for the government to tax citizens to that end."

I mean, sometimes. If your government is a corrupt dictatorship that does nothing for its citizens with those taxes. Or if you actually are in a position to fully support yourself without any outside help. But there are too many exceptions for me to list them here. Raising generalities like this to universal moral assertions just causes them to crumble like a skyscraper made out of bricks and mortar.
Yep everything goes through my server (see the security and privacy sections at the bottom of the page).

It would be awesome if someone could figure out a peer-to-peer way to accomplish the same thing. I'm not familiar with it, but I think that might essentially be what Tor hidden services are.
I understand that there are virtually no tests that _actually_ need a TI calculator.

They're mad useful for learning - you can explore maths very effectively, but there's a learning curve to it.

I started using GraphNCalc83 on my iPhone (maybe available on Android - I'm sure an alternative is if not), and I question the real need for a £120 calculator.
It was up 15 minutes ago. My guess is there were too many concurrent users.
Will there be a Nexus Two? Only about 135k Nexus One's have been sold. Google is shuttering their web store that they were selling the Nexus One at. While a technical and usability triumph, it has to be said that the Nexus One is a bit of a boondoggle, considering how much Google and HTC probably spent developing it.

The big problem for Google is that they wanted to change the way people bought cell phones, but it just didn't take. The phone companies control the sales channel (except for the Apple store) and they probably won't want to sell a Google-branded Android phone without all of their silly carrier-specific modifications (NASCAR? Really, Sprint? NASCAR?!?). If there ever is a Nexus Two, Google has to figure out where they're going to sell it.
Yes, Blaze and a hojillion computers will give you a spiffy build system. The public now has the former, but not the latter :)
Please send one my way. Edit: Thanks!
So longer than git has existed. Well done.
It's not only about personal strength, no one is strong enough to change deep cultural heritage and go alone against 1000 year long culture in which woman has no say. From the comments, it's obvious it's a forced marriage and that the OP couldn't do anything about it. It's not about her husbands family, it's also her family that first "sold" or forced her to marry, and then they want her to live with that guy. Who knows, may be some blood is in danger to be spilled if she plainly refuse to go.

That all being said, I wish her good look to find a way to do it without putting herself in any kind of danger.
Delete the NYT cookies.
An example given upthread was wanting to follow an account which tweeted interesting facts about medieval history, and being uninterested in seeing the same tweeter's thoughts about current US politics.

The sense in which people flame each other on HN about programming language opinions can be described as 'political', but it's also not directly related to e.g. current US politics.
I'm not gonna write any more about Russia, because it's probably impossible for someone in a society based on large, reliable (if not always good) institutions to understand a society based on a much larger number of smaller, less stable, and less well-integrated institutions, like Russia. On top of that, Russia's smartest and most ambitious people don't have the option of going into some technical field or academia, because that just doesn't provide a comfortable life. So they aim for power, and as a result the game of power is much more complicated than e.g. in America. For anyone interested in Russia, I suggest looking at more basic things, like what life is like for the average Russian. Actually it's probably a good idea for approaching any society--to try to understand culture first, and politics last.

I want to ask, though--what are the right sources?
This is one of the best arguments for joining a small startup. There is no need to work on getting your name out there for top execs at a startups.

Also, I would think that exptime-complete problems we could call irreducibly complex :)

My first thoughts strayed to computability theory though.
>If the feature worked over Wifi AND 3G/4G it would be EXACTLY THE SAME

No it wouldn't. Having a protocol work over wifi is remarkably easier than having it work over 3G. The latter introduces clustering and latencies that you just don't have on any normal wifi. It's just as easy to assume that it is a bandwidth pig and is heavily susceptible to latency issues, which is why it is thus far limited to wifi.

Of course everyone else immediately started by making a solution work on 3G (and even edge), with wifi being a "nice to have extras" platform.

>I don't know what Gruber would say, but I can take a stab at it. I'd bet it would be along the lines of

When has Gruber ever said that? When the Android phones had dramatically better resolutions than the now almost intolerable iPhone 3GS and before, did Gruber ever commend that? In fact I believe the only time it even started to come up was when the iPhone 4 was an open secret and he knew it offered the new benchmark resolution, so suddenly competitive resolutions became a conversation point, but only from a "they're behind what is coming" angle.

How about Android notifications -- Gruber has defensively pushed back against the reality that Android has a dramatically better notification system. Yet, good for a laugh, he recently gushed that a notification expert from Palm (he was doing the "See Android was just a copy cat anyways" thing) was moving to Apple, clearly implying "So soon it'll get a better notification system than the notification system that was a non-issue just yesterday".

Gruber, to me, is like Republican talking heads of the worst kind. He filters information to see the world exactly the way he wants to see it to serve his agenda, which is to pimp Apple.
Extended far enough, so is not starving to death in utter squalor. One person's luxury is another person's normal.

I view retirement as "normal" and it's just a question of when. 30, 40, or 50 - none of those would I define as luxury-due-to-age.
MSE on Youtube at last.

UPDATE: Strangely, media.mediasource.enabled still remained false for me in Firefox 37 (Linux). I had to manually set it to true, and it's highlighted, meaning that default is still false... Not sure how it fits with release notes then.
This only applies if you're incapable of buying the stuff ahead of time without the button. I suppose some people might qualify for that, but is it really a common thing? Don't you have your phone right there already?
Seems like Jack Dorsey has been playing 5D chess.
Are we living in parallel universes? This was 1 day of protests and it resulted in the police or another authority killing 1 protestor. That is an objectively more violent record from the authorities than the average BLM protest. I see people non-ironically saying if BLM conducted this protest the police would have shot them.
Or over zoom like everybody else?
The route I fly most often is served by both British Airways and Ryanair. After adding baggage and the extra cost of getting to London from Stansted instead of Heathrow, it consistently costs more to fly Ryanair.

It should bother them that their direct competitor is a better option for their target customer (budget conscious flyers), even if I am not that customer.
U would have still questioned any other number :-)
Twitter has just made the most aggressive move they can against 70M americans who voted for this person 2 months ago.

Furthermore, they didn't give the sitting POTUS a chance to de-escalate the situation.

If his tweets are causing problems, then send them to a moderator queue and have a discussion with him about what he is saying, don't slap duct tape over his mouth.

Provide a contact method for him to discuss the tweets with whoever is making the decision to silence him.
Kind of like letting people drive cars, right?
I think (and hope) he’s just relying the difficulty of communicating the concept and value of techno-privacy to his friends and relatives - as opposed to the immediate and self-evident differential between whatsapp and sms texts.
I sort of agree that the 2012 and 2017 referendums were procedurally deficient and don't clearly indicate a preference for statehood, but they are sufficient to indicate that Congress should at least seriously consider the prospect, pending Puerto Rico confirming it in a further referendum (which they did in 2020).
I think most have the right attitude. I’m in the NYC area and most had closed even before any official request or order. Although there are always some members who don’t get it. I was actually able to get our church to use Zoom for the time being until we can meet in person again.
Science is about facts. Modern scientific articles have been often fluff opinionated pieces.

It's extremely normal not to believe in the morally twisted, incomplete, politically-charged, with perverse incentives and written in a clickbait language modern scientific journalism.

I am not doubting the unbiased science. But I can't find it almost anywhere.
Hm...this is worth trying. To get it to work, at this stage practically, the website would have to explain to users that it's basically a promise by the creator. The site could draft documents and give people some sort of equity certificate or what not.

But since I have no clue how this works legally, and really have no users, I can't go out talking to lawyers about some idea that doesn't have legs. I'll probably take the site offline in a week if posting on Reddit doesn't get users.
No reasonable person would forgo a smartphone. And indeed, doing so would be abnormal, and so bad OPSEC. What's crucial, I think, is being present at all times to the fact of total surveillance. Given that, we can choose sometimes to put the smartphone in a sound-proof Faraday bag. Or use a VPN and/or Tor. Or whatever is appropriate to the context.
Indeed, but this must be considered if someone is going to critique Google's speed at updating Android vs desktop operating systems. The updates need to be stable and important if the user is going to be walked through this disruptive process.

Additionally, Windows OS has a long history, is much more stable, and Microsoft controls the majority of the codebase unlike Google.

Android's codebase is built on top of quite a rickety legacy foundation of old patchworked linux kernels that have to be in sync with drivers from proprietary manufacturers like Qualcomm - although is has improved a lot in recent years.

Yet, I do agree Google/Android vendors should be pushing updates at a much higher frequency.
You're right, there should have been a regulatory agency that US Radium could bribe or lobby so that they could avoid paying any damages to the victims at all. /s
This site is free to post to and is largely driven by upvotes from free accounts. There is no inherent moderation (sure there is a lot of vote ring moderation) that would prevent an article from hitting the frontpage.
Why can't basic income happen first? Or why can't basic income be phased in smoothly? I mean, don't get me wrong, I agree with you that basic income is unlikely to happen until there has been an incredible amount of pain and suffering, but does it have to be that way? Not necessarily. If we, as a society, set compensating policies as a condition for technological progress, then the progress might come more slowly, but it will still come. Of course I'm probably being a crazy person thinking that our government might act rationally. :(
The last offer I successfully negotiated went like this:

Recruiter: What kind of number are you looking for?

Me: I'm looking for a minumum of $num. (A 25% raise from current gig)

Recruiter: We can totally do $num.

<a week or so passes while they put the offer together>

Recruiter: We're offering you $num.

Me: Could you do $num + ($num * 7%)?

Recruiter: I'll see what I can do.

<a week or so passes while he gets approval>

Recruiter: We're offering you $num + ($num * 7%).

Me: Sounds good.

Now, a professional negotiator probably wouldn't have coughed up a number first, but my gig at the time was paid fairly and I really liked the company. So I tossed out a number that was big enough to actually get me to jump ship. Was no skin off my back if they couldn't reach it. But they could. And I had a pretty good feeling from the hiring manager that they wanted me there, and that they'd advocate for me with HR, which I'm pretty sure is what happened.
It would be a shame if they succeeded, not because I have a special affinity for Spotify, but Spotify has Linux support that I doubt Apple would. If Apple goes so far as to not have Android support, though, I can't see how they'll succeed.
Yes i agree with your point of you about trusted the authors as people feel free to share location on apps like twitter, instagram, google but not on a unknown vendor
The latter. (In the parent's opinion)
At least you are honest about your extremism, unlike the author, who tries to couch the big business shilling for cheap labor as some sort of benefit for the natives.
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/6072/sql-server-noloc...

The first time I experienced the lob issue was in 2009. At that time, I didn't know how to really reproduce the issue due to my lack of knowledge (which triggered also deep diving will to sql server internals _not my article,nor his but more generally Paul White /sql kiwi has published a load of great articles on internals, maybe some of the best technical articles I have read. )
I do not like compositing though, at least not the way it is implemented in pretty much every current desktop environment (including Windows) where the composition is synced to the monitor refresh rate, meaning that it will always be at least ~8ms late on average and that is assuming everything else is synchronized - but this is not the case as applications draw their output offscreen to a surface that is picked up by the compositor (the mechanism of which is irrelevant, the application might just render to a compositor provided resource or the compositor might copy a VRAM surface or it may transfer bytes from the system RAM, it doesn't matter much in what i'm describing) which happens asynchronously and then notify the compositor that the window contents have changed which is again picked by compositor asynchronously. This introduces several frames of delay between the application drawing something and it appearing on your monitor. It is not a big problem when you are passively watching something, like a movie or an animation, but when that "something" that is drawn is an immediate reaction to an action you just did (like resizing a window with your mouse) you can "feel" that delay.

With non-composited window systems (which nowadays is pretty much only Win7 with DWM disabled and pure X11/Xorg) all that overhead goes away since applications draw directly to the video memory that is to be presented to the monitor (the GPU might do some minor composition itself but that is irrelevant as there aren't any delays involved).

Compositing would work if all composition was done on the GPU using dedicated hardware (similar to how the GPU already performs composition for the mouse cursor and an overlay that is often used for HUD-like controls like volume control, but those are not general purpose features that can be used for desktop composition) and applications could draw directly to the video surfaces that would be composited pretty much the same way a non-composited desktop can draw directly to the video memory (this would introduce artifacts like tearing but this is something that could be handled separately and to some - like me - tearing is perfectly acceptable for pretty much all interactive actions).

I am not aware of any GPU or window system that does compositing like this though.
