Sounds like terrible leadership. I'm sure gmail is used to send child porn every day, should you cancel gsuite?

Companies like cloudfare are supposed to be dumb infrastructure, not your political cudgel.
Well then forward secrecy gets sacrificed for the greater good. Too bad!

Make a setting for those that care. Make it the responsibility of users to make sure all their devices agree on that setting. See? problem solved.
Re the second one - I also saw some footage where a couple of police were, I dunno, ushering them or encouraging them through barriers towards the building. Like "come on, come on!" - that kind of gesture.

I have to stress though that I agree with "danaris" one level up from from this comment - it seems perfectly believable that individual police sympathised and aided these people. However it's not "The Police" as an entity as some others are suggesting, that's venturing into Q territory and is a bit Conspiracy Theory for me.
I wish there was a decentralized scalable version of Twitter, Facebook, Youtube.

It would run off our mobile devices and PC sort of like bitorrent.

I am aware of webtorrent (web based torrenting p2p) for videos and such but still nothing in production.

IMHO, the next person that comes up with a highly scalable, decentralized, widely distributed mesh network of devices to securely transfer files between peers will not be a rich man but he would be a hero, I personally would donate a large chunk of money just to keep it afloat for others.

Sort of like a "public funded public utility" software.
So in other words, ban half the US's population from using reddit? I suppose twitter and facebook too? Sounds like a a recipe for a civil war.
I've been having this argument more and more lately. People keep coming around to "surely, we must prevent *THIS* content?" and every time the answer is no. Somehow, we seem to be forgetting how free speech benefits us all, but only when it is categorically FREE and there are not exceptions "just this one time"

Why just the other day, I had friends blow up on me for daring to suggest that a particular type of bigoted speech should remain legal.

The free exchange of ideas is a prerequisite for a just world. You cannot build one without it. If you place limits on the free exchange of ideas, "just for this one really bad kind of thing", then you have forfeited your own future ability to resist WHEN - not if, but WHEN - a good and true idea is wrongfully labelled harmful and banned by the same mechanisms.

Every single authoritarian regime in history has made speaking ill of the leadership a crime. Every last one.
Every company who was ever hacked was hacked by the absolutely most sophisticated and highly advanced techniques ever, according to the accompanying press release. This tells us nothing about what actually happened.
You can expect single detection system to fail, so you need to make it redundant. For example impossibly loud siren.

Like you said before, any solution is a mix of 2 paradigms.
In PostgreSQL count(1) is slower since PostgreSQL does not optimize count(constant) to count(*).

EDIT: PostgreSQL might be able to optimize that with LLVM but for short running queries it won't.
There's some recent work that involves NCAs in a 3D setting by Horibe et. al [1] and tweet [2]. Other work by Risi and collaborators is definitely worth checking out as well.

This article is well sourced, no?
I get the impression they're blocking requests from outside the US, yes. I get the same error message in the UK, but can access the site fine through a VPN to the US.
If Chrome didn't allow the user to configure that same performance boost to work on other websites, then Chrome would be failing to operate as a user agent.
The problem is with the centralisation and aggregation of that knowledge. It’s not (necessarily) bad that the site owner knows you’ve visited their site, it’s bad that Google knows all of the sites you’ve visited.
Mozilla is using the official blog of the Firefox browser to spam their VPN service through scaremongering.
Your first example quote has an unfortunate typo.

Looks a bit French/Korean to me.
A lot of game developers out there are working partially for free. These are people who want to work in the video game industry, and possibly even want to work for this particular company on a specific IP. Maybe they grew up with those games and have nostalgia. So they're willing to take a lower salary and work longer hours to live that dream. But most importantly, with that comes an attitude of shared ownership. You feel like you're not just a cog in the machine churning out another game in the series, you're bringing this franchise that you love to future generations. You have investment in the outcome. And the outcome is better due to you giving your input and opinions. I can't imagine a bunch of game devs gathered from various studios around the Ubiverse having any kind of shared vision like that. Plus they knew they were hired guns to make Stadia look good, and the future was uncertain. If Google wants to make games, they should come up with an IP (or buy them, as Microsoft and Sony do), grow it organically, and when people show up who want to work on it, hire them.
Your dictionary is sure getting a workout in this thread.
You remember the ideas that made your system different (because you'll need those to sell) but you forget the ugly workarounds... my solution is to try and leave as few ugly patches and when I do put a comment!
USD$0.05/kwh here. Not in the US. My monthly bill comes in around $25 a month.
Wouldn't the logic instead be that when they wanted to raise money again that it would be at an IPO-level. Not that this round is necessarily driving them towards an IPO, except in the sense that it's leading them to be big enough for one.
Definitely not a stupid question
I am still convinced that before anyone can confidently determine if a talent shortage really exists, they must first fix the transportation issues. I've made this comment a few times already, but if I had a magic wand and made a BART-like bullet train materialize that connected San Francisco to San Jose, Danville, San Ramon, Mountain View, Palo alto, Cupertino, Foster City, the "out-of-reach"'ish areas of SF like where SF Zoo is and where the House-Of-Air is located, and the Persidio... we'd would be having a very different conversation.

In short, I believe it's the commute that engineers don't want causing a big part of all this gentrification and talent shortage talk. Personally, my Linkedin says I won't take any job that I can't walk to from a BART station. Google is an exception though; the whole GoogleBus at MacArthur BART situation.
>While DRM didn't prevent it then and doesn't prevent it now.

Current generation console games are pretty well protected with their DRM and sell much better than their PC ports. Care to explain how it works with the theory that the DRM kills sales and gets cracked immediately?
In related news, even the much-maligned "Duck and Cover" is full of good advice (which is coincidentally also useful against large meteors).

That's true, but marijuana was still illegal, and some people were still prosecuted. Ultimately the ones deciding who would be arrested and who would be ignored on a case-by-case basis were the police.
That doesn't mean it's ridiculously easy to attach a transaction to a specific person. If it were, sites like Silk Road would never even exist.
That goes without saying and is already accounted for implicitly in anything I already wrote. You’re pointing this out like it’s a surprise or somehow contradicts what I wrote, but it doesn’t at all.

The “least they can pay” floor is just being moved up closer to the fair level indicated by the actual contribution to revenue.

Remote work just strips exploitative regional employers from their many decades of greedy free lunch setting the “least they can pay” floor much lower.
Most likely there is a bunch of middle management that blocks the innovation. Its a refusal.

We’re already seeing an exodus of major metropolises. Lockdown hysteria has forced us to consider whether the paths we thought we prescribed ourselves is really ours.

Did they GPT-3 this? It has the same uncanny valley feeling of word mash that almost has meaning.
I used to do a regular 15h flight (MEL-LAX or LAX-MEL, I forget which was the longer one).

I'd add:

Get on board tired. Stay up late a few nights before you leave, get up early, do a bunch of exercise, whatever it takes. Be ready to sleep.

Book a window seat. You've got a decent chance of having only two people in the 3 seats for a start, which means extra leg room, and a blanket/pillow/headphones/etc dumping area on the spare seat. But most importantly, you don't get woken up when someone else needs to get up. The downside is you get to be the person disturbing the others, but ... that's better than being disturbed.

Follow the pattern of the flight. There'll be a "night" portion of the flight, when it's dark and you don't get fed. That's the best time to sleep, so take advantage of it.

Wear a hoodie. And get a pillow and a blanket. If you're on an airline that doesn't do them, consider bringing your own. You will likely need the blanket at night, because the plane will be cold, especially in the window seat.

Wear an eye mask. Yes, it's dorky, but so what? It really cuts out the disturbance from the person in front with their reading light or video on all "night".

Wear noise-cancelling earbuds with nothing playing to sleep. I find the background roar of the engines makes it difficult to sleep well, but the noise-cancelling drops it to a level that's heaps better.

Get up and walk around when you can. You can do a decent lap around the economy section of a B747/A380. Flex your ankles as you walk, bouncing up and down. Do some stretching down near the rear escape slide doors. You'll still get swollen feet and ankles, but nowhere near as bad.

Bring a book. It doesn't need working WiFi, battery, etc. If you ever get a seat with a broken entertainment system, you'll appreciate having the fallback once your phone battery is dead, laptop is drained, and the in-flight magazine is read cover to cover.

Don't watch the map. It'll just feel like it takes longer. After you've had the final meal, you've got about 2h left. Final descent takes about 30 mins of that, so you've only got about 90 minutes of frustration between finishing the meal and making actual tangible progress towards your destination. The remainder of the flight is an alternative universe, outside of time and space. Disconnect, and just go with it. Otherwise you'll drive yourself mad.
Unless you already had the previous model. It's kinda nice that they don't make you get a new mount if you already have one.
A PCIe 4.0 x16 link is 32GB/s in one direction. Capital B. Quite a bit faster.

It's also fully bidirectional, allowing for the same speed in the other direction at the same time. Thunderbolt is capped at 40Gb/s total bandwidth.
I'm not sure I agree on the comments about the mobile framework (FireMonkey - FMX for short) looking alien everywhere. The components are platform aware and provide pixel perfect representations of the controls on each platform (that is, if you don't select on a number of them to provide the actual platform specific component) e.g. You can choose for TEdit to provide a styled control, or the actual native edit control. There are pro's and cons to both, and the style option means you can make some very cool looking UI's very quickly.

I would agree some of the early implementations were a little rough around the edges, but the FMX framework is now about 9 years matured into the market. Other frameworks trying to achieve the same are clearly learning a lot from FMX and openly mirroring the architecture and approach, which tells you something about the direction.
Indeed, the OpenBSD guys said early on that hyperthreading should just be disabled for security reasons. It took everyone else to catch up, but see Greg KH's comments that if users are untrusted, one should do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI3YE3Jlgw8
The word "freedom" doesn't appear in this discussion, so I'll ask: what does "freedom" mean if you don't have "free will"?

At random (not really, it was near the box as I typed):

mcquire>You decide to move your hand, then you move your hand.

Was that person free to move or not move their hand?

I decide to emigrate to New Zealand because they seem to run their country sanely. But is that a free choice or did I undertake this without a real choice to do otherwise?
Just make the drawing out of the single vote a public event.
What high costs? the miner fee is like 4 cents whether you send 1$ or 1$ million, and you don't have to pay it if you are cheapskate at expense of waiting longer for confirms.
Lots of it is the sort of equipment you wouldn't notice. Not exactly embedded stuff though.
I think the initial principle of the disclosure policy is good, it is intended to put a bit of pressure on bad vendors to fix their bugs. That said I don't think we can classify MS as a bad vendor. They fix lot of critical issues every years, they certainly have their own internal teams working on security issues, they're responsibles.

Vendors with a quite good track record should be allowed to have some slip ups. You cannot compare a vendor who doesn't fix anything on time with one that usually fix issues promptly but occasionally shows a delay on a report. The process should take that into account. I think the binary handling by Google on this one is not very well thought-out.
Thanks that seems to be correct.

From a first glance it seems to be a bunch of random torrents, pdfs, mp4s I'd rather not have on my hd ;)
I am really amazed by the irony in the writer's bio:

"I’ve held senior positions at large global companies including IBM, Nortel, Siebel Systems (the world’s leading provider of CRM solutions acquired by Oracle), and Sybase..."
I'm sorry I did not realize this was a fallacy - I just found the article interesting. If you see it posted anywhere else please re post.

It is incredible that a Man Made craft is over 10 Billion Miles away.
The author of this guide, Thomas Mann, should not be confused with German writer Thomas Mann, who coincidentally also had a position at the Library of Congress as a Consultant in Germanic Literature until he was forced to quit due to allegations of being a Communist during the height of McCarthyism [0]

I got absolutely nothing out of Machiavelli - he is on par with Greene's "48 Laws of Power" in terms of contradicting himself all the time and not having clear direction. Not only that, but his advice is absolutely useless to someone not already "close to/in power". And yes, it was written as advice to Italian princes, but my qualm is with people pushing it as a must read book.

The only, literally the only, part that sticks out as useful is "Doll out bad news in one portion, good news in spaced-out portions."

As far as "classic" general texts go, Sun Tzu is ages ahead of him in the Art of War in terms of advice that you can actually follow.
I don’t know if there is anyone that knows for sure if it is possible to create an AI sophisticated enough to detect skilled professional acting.

Though, if we allow our imaginations to take off a bit, one could imagine an AI that can represent the entire mental state of an individual in itself and probe it to determine if you’re acting while you’re acting in front of the AI.
After reading through it all, I think this is more a condemnation of the author's diagram (or at least their decision to put that particular one up-front), than of their process in general, nor the challenge.

Breakdown of (my) issues with the diagram:

- author's interaction with each device is explicitly included, adding unnecessary noise

- "partial" and "full" real-time sync are shown as separate processes, whereas there's no obvious need to differentiate them in such a high-level overview

- devices with "partial" and "full" sync (see above) are colour-coded differently; again differentiation unnecessary

- including onsite & off-site backups in the same diagram is cool but would probably be nicer living in a dedicated backup diagram for better focus

Here's a simplified version of the same diagram:

> I'm probably going to make a few enemies with this opinion, but I think modern C++ is just an utterly broken mess of a language. They should have just stopped extending it after C++11.

This is the popular refrain of the day, so I don't know why you cage this as if you're saying something controversial.
HN missed out on this shitcoin, that's where the salt comes from.
Not a strong article, but the comments are worthwhile reading. I also think the main claim that safety hasn't been tested enough to state much about it is correct. One thing is that there is selection in where and when to test self-driving cars. In real life, people will not be happy to get a message "sorry, I will not drive in this weather", if it is given frequently.
What's the software that was used to make this video?
Yea, I'm not saying that the churn is a good thing. But I do think that in 5 years, JS/HTML/CSS will be a truly great interface toolkit because of all the ideas that are being tested now. It is kind of annoying at the moment.
"it's hard to trust anyone that writes a dumb bug".

Listen to yourself. We've all written dumb bugs. We've all had that one line of code that was an obvious mistake. I still trust people who write a bug here and there because if I didn't I would have to forgo trusting everyone for everyone makes dumb mistakes sometimes.
They are phasing out fbml not xfbml.
It happens all the time in London, you see a lot of ex-finance people in the startup scene.
I agree with you on the general point, but the deal with the publisher can get you quite a bit more than "wee little advances." The publisher lends credibility/gravitas to the enterprise (which may or may not be important, depending upon the type of work), and can (if they choose) bring a large marketing budget (and sophisticated marketing apparatus) to bear on your behalf.

I'm not arguing that self-publishing isn't the more lucrative option in many cases; I'm just saying that going with a traditional publisher is not necessarily a sucker bet.
Perhaps, but it is what it is.
No, programming empowers you to make your ideas actually work. It also forces you to break the great big idea into chewable little pieces, and that's the process that turns imagination into creation.

But yeah, you might feel constrained for a while until you master the tools. Once you do master them though, will anyone be able to tell you that your idea can't be implemented?
The same features are just not available. And messages may arrive sometime between 2 second and 2 days with no indication what happened. (Yes, highly skewed towards 2s, until you get graylisted)
I used to ride my bike to work. I really miss that ever since the pandemic started.
They images are very good. But the real ones have that 'je ne sais quoi' of very fine 'irrelevant' details that give the game away. I mean, who would spend valuable computing power on generating hundreds (thousands?) of blades of grass with seedpods?
It's interesting to see them aspire to "subway systems that emulated the successful New York City one, which began running trains underground in 1904" considering all the transit opposition you see these days using "Manhattanization" as a scare word.

Sad to think of the probable cause for that negative change in the way transit is perceived by many voters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Migration_(African_Ameri...
You certainly can, the point of this tool is to automate some of the workflow around managing notes as markdown files. With devlog you get:

- custom templates for three different common document types(todo, notes and development logs) that you can pre-populate with whatever format you want. Populating it with questions has been useful for some of my users who use it as a way to quickly reflect on what they've been doing.

- automatically timestamps the document so you know when the document was written and it makes sorting through notes easier.

- tagging: this makes grouping and searching for documents much easier

- configuration: from any directory in your OS you can type a single command "devlog" and have a new document generated to a directory you want.

It's written in golang and incredibly lightweight as well so the "installation burden"is very low.
> Have you ever seen any UI on the web that approaches the complexity of game UIs?

I have personally built tools on the web more complex than the game UIs in your link.

> Anywhere there's such complexity on the web, you get lots and lots of hardcoded values: from hardcoded media breakpoints to entirely different layouts for different resolutions and screen sizes.

...and I didn't use a single media breakpoint in any of them, and very rarely hardcoded any positions or sizes.

The only time I've ever needed an explicit device-size breakpoint, it was for a site that needed to toggle from a laid-out navigation menu to a hamburger menu when the user was on a phone-sized device (or had their window narrowed to that size! the web doesn't care what device you're actually on, just how much space is available). There was a single breakpoint for "phone-ish" sizes, and that was that. It was necessary in this case because, unlike most values in CSS/the DOM, it was a discrete change and not a continuum. In most cases media-queries are a code smell.
What do you mean by quality of life? For me a big part of that is the environment. No beaches/coast? No mountains, forests, waterfalls, etc? That doesn’t sound like a great quality of life to me.
Huppie, tried to contact you but I can't find your email.

Can you tell me what OS/Browser you were using? One of the major goals of the app is for it to be blazing fast, and not have any lag issues. I mainly use OSX+Safari, but I test on Firefox, Chrome and IE8, and it works quite well for me in testing.

I also agree with what you have to say about the random wikipedia links; I tried really hard to filter out as much boilerplate stuff as I can, but sadly Wikipedia isn't as structured as you might expect it to be.

Thanks very much for the feedback.
That's 250 hours per term (4 months).

I'm fairly certain you don't spend 1000+ hours in lectures out of the ~2880 hours in four months.
I was never told this, but I know it is said, and said often that "you can be whatever you want". I don't believe that, nor do I think it's healthy for children to be told it because it's flat out not true.
The business argument would have been "you can't maintain majority market share with such tight fisted control of the app store, approval process, choice of carrier, etc". But that was really an argument that applied 1+ years ago before iphone lost momentum to android. At this point, I don't think there's a way for the iphone to win against android.
