RIM has been increasing its market share, just because RIM isn't the only smart mobile on the market, doesn't mean it's going to turn into the next palm. RIM has been doing a good job differentiating itself as a business solution. I don't they are going to die anytime soon, but they're slow pace of innovation, software updates are hurting their consumer market....but then again apple can come out with a phone with a broken antenna and expect to sell millions, RIM has a far more corporate audience, so they need to be careful how they expand. All in all, it may seem like rim is dying for a consumer perspective, but I think they may still have a chance, although with a smaller market share.
There was a small handbook from Digital Equipment Corp, I think the title was something along the lines of 'PDP-11 Assembler Programming'. I loved it.
One thing I notice is that gitbox seems to have a persistent notion of which repositories it cares about. This will not work well with how I (and presumably many other folks) use git/hg/et al.

Namely, for every little project with writing (latex) or programming (in some language), I create a repo. Over the course of a given year, this means easily 50+ repos, some short lived, some that I use for quite a while. I do not want to be dealing with a sidepane of my repos unless i can toggle it to show just eg "my 10 most recent repos" or the like, which I don't think gitbox seems to presently offer that.

Also, I approve of the choice of having a 1 repo limit thing as the distinguisher between with and sans license.

another question is: how do you plan to distinguish yourself from smartgit, which is the current / only gui'd paid osx git app?
Neat. Can you apply custom CSS?
Yes, they suck. I'm lucky enough to have an arrangement where I can remote work twice a week, and I routinely get more thinking done on those days than I do the rest of the week.

That being said, there is a lot of merit in having people interact with each other to cover issues and problems and ideas involved in the overall design of the product you're building.
The way your comment is structured, it is not obvious that it is a question.

> They could (and must) notify the ones they still have data about.

I agree strongly. For what it's worth, this is absolutely not what I took away from your other comment.
I agree with all of your points, except for your idea of "the people they serve and protect."

If you read about the historical origins of the US police force, their (verifiably documented) lineage goes back to the days of English colonialism. Those original patrol groups were created to "protect" the damage/loss of property- namely to prevent runaway slaves from escaping their owner's control.

The US police force has, quite literally, always been first and foremost a way for the richest upper class to protect their wealth, power, and assets. They are a way to keep the status quo. The fact that they (sometimes) help poor and working class citizens is merely a by-product of their primary goal.
The really scary part is that someone decided to use the output of the booking system as an input for deciding fuel levels, without auditing the entire chain.
> Parler was literally kicked off of AWS and Twillio.

Right, because AWS is literally the only way to host a website, and Twilio is literally the only way to send emails.
Yeah, as the first sibling comment said, I was more talking about the new generation of computing APUs were supposed to bring us, instead we got GPUs that happen to be on the same chip as the CPU. AMD's APUs are definitely awesome, especially the Ryzen+Vega ones, and if they made a Ryzen 7+Vega 10 chip for desktop, I'd buy it immediately, but it's still just a GPU that does standard GPU things - the fact that it's integrated is little more than an implementation detail.
you are required to give your age, you are not required (or even have the option) to give your weight.
My understanding: Most IP cameras only have an RTSP stream, which would need to be proxied expensively by some server if you want to view it over the internet or be exposed directly to the internet. WebRTC would allow the server to help negotiate a connection directly from client to camera, thereby bypassing having to host expensive proxy.
> I didn't have to physically sign ANYTHING at all. What are you talking about?? It's just a click field on the online application and that only says that you're okay with your data being shared with the lab that also sends you your test results.

If you did register a test with the covid app you had got had to sign something when doing the (not "fast"/PCR) test. If not something was legally not quite right. Also maybe in recent month this might also have been changed but it's unlikely..

> This is also absolutely untrue as Covid, among others, is on the list of illnesses that the local Gesundheitsamt has to be notified of. It's not even optional. It's the law. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/ifsg/__6.html

I'm speaking about the covid app, not the health agency, which yes gets reporting always but also (at least at the being of Covid) had a completely inefficient procedure which made the German health agencies in most German states at least at the middle unable to process it anywhere close in time. Like they collecting "people you had been in contact with" 3! weeks after you where found to have covid was not uncommon.

> Honestly curious where you got that information from?

People officially working on the developen of the covid app (there is a ccc talk). And various other sources which also overlap with personal experiences (like yes I personally had to give agreement on paper so that I could use the covid app).

Note that the physical confirmation is kinda hidden on a paper containing all kind of information, so meany people might not have been aware of it.
In my experience there's been an inexorable decline in Google search result quality over the past few years (not to mention a corresponding increase in reports of tracking and privacy infringements). Having tried a variety of alternative front ends and engines (Startpage/Ixquick, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Mojeek), Runnaroo delivered consistently enough to become my browser default.

And now it's gone.
The plane took off without a problem, so this was within the error tolerance. You could imagine cases (e.g. charter flights full of women) where it could be an issue, though.
Thank you for putting this stuff together. In the past, I did the same when people asked for "source?" for things like "Fauci and the HHS recommended against masking". After I go through the painful process of reacquiring each of the sources, these people disappear.

"Source?" is now the dual of the Gish Gallop strategy. It is a meta-rhetorical strategy to amplify work done by some perceived "opponent".

After all, for anyone who truly believes in sourced claims, they would say "I found these sources that do X. What have you found?" This is natural because they are more interested in the truth than in an argument against an "opponent".

So now I don't respond to disproportionate requests for work. I am glad you did, though. And looking through them, it's exactly as I remember: anti-mask advocacy.
>> Meanwhile the circumstantial evidence in favour of that hypothesis (including China’s behaviour) continues to pile up.

What circumstantial evidence?
Do you have another link? From here in the UK, your link just redirects to http://eu.dispatch.com.
Can you? I don't have any Dutch examples of that, but seeing the high prices the information sells for, I guess I'm missing something.
For those who are unaware of the German system, "high school" here presumably means the "Gymnasium" or similar track that prepares students for higher education, as opposed to the vocational dual education track that includes vocational schooling and apprenticeships.

He's taken a clear stance on pretty much everything I've heard people complaining about him not taking a clear stance on – including some things this article implies he supports (or condemns).
As someone who preordered a Librem 5 a year and a half ago, I’ll be surprised if this becomes a viable option any time soon (or ever). It still hasn’t received FCC certification https://fccid.io/2AT9R and the few that have been released out in the wild to some of the people who ordered in 2017 show a phone that still needs significant software work done and require multiple batteries or constant charging to last a whole day.

I just ordered a PinePhone in the latest batch. From what I’ve been able to find is the software support is a little better for the PinePhone, but the hardware is slower than the already slow Librem 5. It’s closer to being a daily driver, but not by much.

Neither of these phones are a replacement for what most people consider smartphones. Maybe through Android emulation they could be, but if it’s not available as a Linux application or a website then it’s not available for these phones.
The Chinese response to international concerns over the Wuhan virus is very similar to the Soviet Unions response to the same concern over a sudden spike in nuclear radiation. There’s something strange about a government that works so hard to stifle all questions and dissent. It’s like they don’t realize the act of oppression of inquiry raises the level of inquiry even more.
> I am comparing Zig to C++ a lot, which many Zig fans would probably take exception to as Zig does not aspire to be a better C++, but rather a better C.

I was one of those people that started the idea that Zig should be compared to C more than C++. One day I'll express more clearly what I meant by that, but in the meantime I would say that Zig can and should be compared with C++ too.

More generally I think we got to the point where Zig deserves to be analyzed in it's own right and not as a reflection of another language because, among other things, it leads to this kind of misunderstanding:

> I've noticed that compile-time feels like a very lazy environment, meaning that functions do not seem to undergo full semantic analysis unless they are called from somewhere.

Comptime's lazyness is a necessary feature and not an accident. This is how Zig can avoid having a macro system.

More in general the idea is that you are supposed to write tests for your code, which will then ensure your functions get analyzed, and which in turn will produce documentation for your code. This makes testing more core to the development process than it is in other languages.

I'm not saying everyone has to like this approach, but if you stop at the comparison with C, you risk missing how the design of Zig is able to spiral into an new and radical programming experience.

See for example this Twitch clip from yesterday: https://clips.twitch.tv/RockyLivelyChimpanzeeDoubleRainbow-P...
You may need to choose a "Source" in the top left. I got the same error before choosing a character.
"For the 90th percentile wait times, the improvements are even more significant. Province-wide, wait times went from an average of 221 days to 161 days."

That's a success? Waiting half a year for an MRI?

Come on. I'm Canadian and know plenty of Canadians. Wait times are one of the major issues in Canada. Yes, if you don't need it right now, you wait - sometimes years. But sometimes you need it in the next few weeks and you wait months.
Indeed, the idea of "High Art" seems stupid in itself.
Was in a team of around 12 engineers for a XXXM AUD dollar telco project a decade ago.

Customer (Telstra, Australia's national telecom) wanted us to sleep on site.

We were contractors, so we all agreed we would say yes, provided we were paid for 24 hours.

The customer decided they didn't need us to sleep on site.
Huh? That would indeed be pretty dumb. I would have at least expected a duct that pumps air from outside...

Heat pumps make little sense if you don't have access to a thermostatic source, or indeed any "free" heat source.
It's reasonable to assume that "location" means "approximate location" and not "exact location".

>Not in a single-payer state, no.

You can always go to another country or just pay someone personally to hear out your problems and help fix them. You can't avoid that.

>It's also not really a problem in and of itself. You'll find that if cancer treatments are actually cheaper and more effective than the status quo as demonstrated by a study that a single payer state will quickly take them up.

Some people report that doing a ketogenic diet helps them control some diseases (eg diabetes). It's been a decade since its surge in popularity. Keto doesn't seem to always work, but it seems to work for some. Is it considered a treatment yet? Because doing a keto diet is likely to incur a higher cost - carbs are cheaper compared to protein and fats.

>Healthcare isn't a pay-to-win game. Generally if you find a way to pay more to get better care you're just bumping someone else down the priority list.

What do you mean? Healthcare is not a fixed pie. It's constantly expanding in what can be treated, you can train and hire more doctors and nurses, you can make more and better equipment. If people are willing to pay enough extra for some treatment, then this can directly lead to the capacity of that treatment increasing.

>That may be acceptable in America but it's not in much of the rest of the world.

This is exactly how it works in many countries. You have your public healthcare and then private healthcare, where you can skip queues.
Probably because the typical culprits are really not good enough. I mean, follow the package manager repos on Github (pipenv for example) for a while. They have loads of issues, which one would think are unthinkable for a package manager to have. There are regressions and sometimes environments that were created just fine in an older version, is not creatable any longer, even though all the specification is, is a bunch of package names and version numbers, which do actually exist.

Probably testing package managers is not a simple thing to do.
Yes. The key here is that most of those 34% are probably talented, don't live within commute distance of an office of the company they work for, and have alternatives, so it makes sense that they would resign and take a different remote job instead of uprooting and moving their lives/families for non-remote work.

People who prefer remote work come in largely two flavors:

* People who do live within commute distance of their office but wish to work at home for various reasons

* People who do not live within commute distance of their office and do not wish to move their home

These two groups tend to think very differently about the problem.
I’ve been trying to hunt down one of these machines for years. Does yours have the Collage GUI?
I'm using it for internal debug tools. Lookup data from various APIs, databases, show status info for servers, that kind of thing. Often easier to create one and run it locally than write scripts and keep rerunning them with different bits of data.
They get a pile of new candidates when people read it and realize "if others are leaving, I should be looking at it too."
We seem to have evolved to display emotion because it's a useful communication tool. So much that in text based communication where a lot of emotion is lost, we explicitly re-insert emote-icons to make it clear again.

So emotions can be thought as a language (albeit a pretty lossy one). If AI can one day understand spoken/written language, I don't see why it can't also understand the language of emotions.
I like the article and many of the recommendations (and some others to look up). I do host some of these things but likely never all of them.

The post wasn't entirely clear on whether it was primarily privacy motivated or availability. If it's not about strict privacy, it's far easier to use whatever is convenient and still allows you to stream-replicate the data. For Gmail, I send a copy for accessibility outside of Gmail. The post itself includes offsite-backup so you could just start there if you consider your primary use site to be the 'onsite'.
> It’s just an example.

No, it's a non-example.
Bad faith question. You don't need science credentials to understand that court rulings aren't scientific evidence. It's either a true statement or it isn't (and it is).
@johndavid9991, do you work from home alone?
Fascinating question.

Wildly speculating, I'd suppose european concubines were very much sought after by slavers and their 'customers'. And even more so blonds and redheads for their 'exotism'.

Now some Algerians look very european. You can even see redheads, though I remember redheadness appeared independantly in Europe and the Levant I think.
Every time is different don't be reductive.

But yes, for now the central bank and legislative actions far outweigh my uber drivers and unemployed dates talking about daytrading, as more money is going to hit the market. US Congress is going to create/distribute $2 trillion more dollars and the US Federal Reserve is still purchasing corporate bonds, creating new money in every transaction. Babies better be daytrading on abacuses.
Police gun related killings of 1K per year are rolled into yearly firearm deaths. That would at least be 1K less on that chart. A definite win for removing firearms from law enforcement, the charts never lie.

Also I have no idea if I'm making those numbers up. It's just what I've heard in passing.
I've built a competing tool but I will say I love what you guys are doing with open sourcing some of your components etc. Also love seeing Vue! It is game changer for us at WeBase.

Lots of opportunity in this space... best of luck to you!
This is exactly the attitude the above poster is complaining against. Breast feeding is probably better than formula in a few small ways, but treating formula use as “neglect” creates a harmful burden on new - and already stressed - mothers.

If breast feeding is difficult, feed your child formula. They will turn out just fine.
The people accusing the OP of antisemitism before the thread got rewritten and also, the people accusing back the original accusator.

The exact names are not worth hunting down, it appears to be some overreaction caused by tunnel vision with no malice intended from any side. The important thing to note is that both one should not jump to conclusions based on a short bad behavior, and that just because you are hurt, it does not give you the right to go after innocent people.
Found out about cosmopolitan from another HN thread recently and it's some pretty cool stuff.

The one thing that I think could use a bit more polish is cross platform compiler toolchain. I tried to set it up on a mac and it turned out my gcc was aliased to clang because xcode(?). Ended up spinning up a debian docker image to play around, but then found out that the .com binary rewrites itself on run so if you output to a docker volume mount and run from one OS, it ceases to work in the other. Not the end of the world and I'm sure it would all be a much cleaner experience had I just had a linux box setup, but alas.

Golang and ziglang make setting up a compiler toolchain super easy, with prebuilt binaries for the major OSes. Zig in particular looks extremely promising: it has first class support for cross-compilation and it outputs binaries that are very competitive in size w/ cosmopolitan (in addition to providing a bunch of nice language features over C and good interop w/ it).

Overall, I'm really digging all this work being put into innovating the low level layer.
That's great. Will Dr. Diangelo also retract and denounce her paper:
https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1065640.pdf

where she states:
> raising White children to be White is a form of child abuse

Feel free to read the full context. So no, she may have not provided the slides. But yes, this is on point for her if you read even the smallest bit of her papers.
The iPhone 5s received a security update last month, so it is in it's eighth year of security updates.

Five years longer than Google has supported it's own first party Pixel phones.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
C. S. Lewis
Would you share a link? My impression was that market wages actually need to reflect the local wages, not national, but I'm not sure of this.
Criticism has its place, and some of your concerns may be helpful, but "you don't know what you're doing" and "this is all bad" are simply rude judgments.

I don't see the point in accusing the team of "selling air". Would you accuse a trainer of "selling movement" or a coach of "selling words"??

Breath is a fundamental component of the human experience that affects our mood, health, and everyday experience. Learning how your breath affects your experience is valuable just like any other physical activity (yoga, running, meditation, exercise). There is also a spiritual component to introspective practices like meditation which can be quite valuable. For some people, it's definitely worth paying for these things.

If you're only comfortable with gurus doing this work, what would a guru need to be "qualified"?
Wish he didn't make fun of bad English from non-native speaking posts - of course they'll seem cringey to us. There's plenty of legitimate examples he could have used instead.
+1 for them. I live in one of the few states with no state tax, so its totally free to file. They do ask if you want to pay, its only if you want some audit protection, and live support.
If I were behind schedule I would try to scrape StackOverflow so I don't get cut off from it.

Edit: maybe someone's scraper was too efficient.

> Can you present a functioning iris with a custom retinal image behind it?

It wouldn't need to be a real iris. Extant aliveness checks typically look for: reflections, pupil dynamics (contractions etc), frequency/resolution - these are all designed to look for digital forgeries (image on screen or paper); this leaves them open to a prosthetic model of an eye mimicking those effects (think a very sophisticated mannequin or doll's eye) backed by a generated retinal image.

Ultimately (if you want to talk absolutes) as long as the scanner can't differentiate between the original and a cloned + transplanted eye, it can never be considered unbeatable :)

As convoluted as all these sound, they're conceivably within the grasp of technology. It's worth remembering that many commercial scanners currently deployed don't implement any aliveness checks.
Its like how airports (often termed "port authorities") have cops. Its not strange that infrastructure has its own police.
Flagged for being totally hyped and factually incorrect (even the title is nonsense).

I really wished that people reporting on Solar/Wind and other alternative energy sources would at a minimum gain a basic level of understanding of the subject matter before writing nonsense articles like these.
C# is Microsoft's Java. How many Python, Go, Ruby or Haskell projects have you audited at "big companies"?
The page you link is actually a shortened form and links to the real list: http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#How_is_Octave_different_from_Matl... which comes in at 2,662 words.

The parts you say are good about Octave are EXACTLY the stuff I use Python and R for. If you want to use a Matlab library or toolkit, maybe cut in paste some code from a paper, do a quick 'what if' thing -- Octave just doesn't cut it.

(My point in speaking up here isn't to diss Octave it's to re-center the reality around Matlab.)
