Israel puts heavy emphasis on human behavioral screening and it's fantastically successful. It seems SPOT is a heavily watered down version. I'm sure all the expensive technology vendors will love to point out SPOT is a failure.

Thankfully we have very few attempted attacks in America so we don't have the will to implement racial profiling.

If it gets ever gets bad enough we will and it will probably work.
I'm having troubles with it in Firefox on two different Ubuntu machines. The page is all red, and the javascript source code is showing up inside the web page.

Then I tested it in the Epiphany web browser. It worked fine on one Ubuntu machine, showing up all nice and blue. But on the other Ubuntu machine I got the red page with the javascript source code showing up, just like Firefox.
You don't need any sort of school or certifications to learn programming or database administration. All that does for you is takes up precious time you probably won't have to be bored to tears in a classroom environment and having to study for tests. Each hour in a classroom or studying for a test is an hour you could be using for actual programming or messing around with databases.

The best way to learn this stuff is to come up with some sort of pet project in your spare time. If you don't come up with something interesting to work on then you won't learn. Also, this probably needs to be an ongoing thing so that you can keep up your skills. Time spent in a classroom and then never revisiting the material won't help you much, you will learn things half assed and you will forget the little that you learned.

Who knows, maybe you could identify a real problem, come up with a great solution and then build a business from that. If you run into problems which require programming, then that's a great area to address a need which you could potentially profit from.
Well ... the last time I had to generate real crypto keys for an application I used a 300 US$ (in 1996) TRNG pod that used thermal noise to provide truly random data.

We can be rather sure that TRNGs are used to make one time pads for the intelligence community ... although strangely enough the Venona decrypts are based on the Soviets having reused pages of random numbers, probably due to the high demand that developed after they were invaded by Nazi Germany.

But your point about the need for a high quality (and well seeded) PNRG is well taken, far too many cryposystem failures have been due to that.

As I tell people, don't worry about the cipher, you will not do better than the experts, but make sure your whole system is sound.

And speaking of seeds, in the brave new world of cloud computing we've got to be careful about where we get our entropy.
That is a bit of a deep dive without a specific project, but hey thats what bookmarks are for right. Thanks, interesting link.
I also had some things to answer to that comment which I'll put back here for the record.

> I have been building distributed systems for 20 years, and they are not more reliable. They are probabilistically more likely to fail.

It depends on what kind of faults you want to protect against. In our case, we are hosting servers at home, meaning that any one of them could be disconnected at any time due to a power outage, a fiber being cut off, or any number of reasons. We are also running old hardware where individual machines are more likely to fail. We also do not run clusters composed of very large numbers of machines, meaning that the number of simultaneous failures that can be expected actually remains quite low. This means that the choices made by Garage's architecture make sense for us.

But maybe your point was about the distinction between distributed systems and high availability, in which case I agree. Several of us have studied distributed systems in the academic setting, and in our vocabulary, distributed systems almost by definition includes crash-tolerance and thus making systems HA. I understand that in the engineering community the vocabulary might be different and we might orient our communication more towards presenting Garage as HA thanks to your insight, as it is one of our core, defining features.

> However, this isn't it. This is distributed S3 with CRDTs. Still too application-specific, because every app that wants to use it has to be integrated with S3. They could have just downloaded something like Riak and added an S3 API around it.

Garage is almost that, except that we didn't download Riak but made our own CRDT-based distributed storage system. It's actually not the most complex part at all, and most of the developpement time was spent on S3 compatibility. Rewriting the storage layer means that we have better integration between components, as everything is built in Rust and heavily depends on the type system to ensure things work well together. In the future, we plan to reuse the storage layer we built for Garage for other projects, in particular to build an e-mail storage server.
This is interesting. Personally I did not need to "encounter" async. At some point I realized that I needed it in my project (it did not have that official name back then) and had written an implementation in a few days. I also written preemptive multithreading library in ancient DOS based product with having zero prior experience. Again took me few days.
Stack Overflow is far from """huge"""

Also, dude, it was the end of the work done or close to midnight in most of the western world when you made this post.
ADHD brains are physically different. You can see it with MRI. I suspect ADHD hunter gatherers hated weaving.
I sometimes keep 2 or three windows 'tiled' on a 34" monitor, but on anything smaller I tend to use 1 or perhaps 2 windows (like you, often with some overlap).

Perhaps eyesight is important here? I'm short sighted but find wearing glasses when reading a monitor gives me eye strain, so just keep a distance from my monitor where I can read without my glasses (about 1m). To tile windows in a way that is useful I'd need to have much smaller fonts, and I wouldn't be able to read.
Is there a good alternative site built on the Stack Exchange data dumps? Open-source projects like the Stack Exchange knowledge base and Wikipedia are always at risk of suffering a hostile takeover by their hosting services, whatever the license may say, as recently happened in the spectacular case of Freenode, and happened in a less severe fashion earlier with Sourceforge injecting malware into downloads.

Things like Deletionpedia and Wikiwand provide an essential service by reducing the cost of switching and thus the power of hosting services like Wikimedia, but I don't know of anything comparable for Stack Exchange.

Hahahah

Stereotyping is nature.

I am Chinese, I know very well what happened in WWII, and Japanese people willingly supported their fascism government, and the monstrosity committed by the Japanese invasion army on Chinese soil.

Then do I feel insulted that Japanese retained and even refined a lot of ancient Chinese traditions, and modern Chinese culture have been greatly influenced by Japanese, because they were more receptive to western influence early on?

In many people's eyes, I should.

But, no, I do not. I admit to facts, not sentiment.
I own two cars, a VW and a Toyota.

Here in Australia European vehicles aren’t required to put the indicator stalk on the right hand side of the steering column.

So I’m constantly indicating my intention to turn with the windscreen wipers in both cars, and constantly retraining myself, then I swap cars again.

Adding fatigue and other distractions doesn’t help.
If you are sick, masks are great. Even homemade ones. This is about healthy people wearing masks.
I live in Japan. "Washing hands is common" this is incorrect. Most bathrooms do not have soap and many people do not wash their hands.

"People listen and obey to their government" This is also not true, many hanami events have been cancelled but there were actually more people out viewing yesterday than last year. I am relatively sure the turnout will be higher than last year to many of the parks.
Note, the article doesn't ever say what the cause of death is. The test results still aren't back (at the time of posting).
Could you detail this a bit for those who are not in the know? Maybe could you give examples of a few missing views/viewpoints? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! Coincidences like that are strange but absolutely do occur.

However, while it's true that your product is O(1) even in the worst case, when you look closer it's actually O(1) + O(1) even in the best case, as you have to open the Shitdrawer to even get the the most recently used item. Do you have any solution to this?
The difficult part is the step milling for the cavity. Its unusual so you need to work with the fab to get it right. Bunny Huang had a good post about it.
I have gotten the "card services, how are you today?" at least three times every weekday for last 5 years.

They're not efficient.
Why can't simply .torrent files be distributed using gnutella2? Both services could then be integrated and we would automatically get decentralized distributed search and sharing.
i'm aware Java has type inference now. but i've got some not-so-fond memories of learning it when it didn't :)
That's why I said "another acquisition". Android was presumably a less developed acquisition, and the team was significantly beefed up inside Google before producing any first results. Or is that way off?
I think your points are certainly common ones, but unfortunately they rely on three major misunderstandings.

The first is that all the "cool shit" we built in the first half of the century was the low-hanging fruit of new scientific understandings and materials.

It's not that we were smarter, it's nothing to do with toxicity, it's just that we exhausted most of what you can easily do with nuclear, steel, engines, etc.

The second misunderstanding is that we're not still building amazing things. Being able to access Wikipedia or Google through speech recognition, or talk to anyone in the world from a cheap videophone in your pocket, is astonishing.

And the third is that flying cars somehow respresent the future. But flying car enthusiasts only focus on the "cool" aspect of it, rather than nuts-and-bolts issues like how they could be fuel efficient, how an average driver will avoid fatal crashes, if we really want urban skies filled with visual, noise and emissions pollution, etc. Flying cars exist. But they don't make any economic or practical sense to use.

If you think we're still not accomplishing astonishing things today, you're not paying attention. Did you notice, for example, how multiple companies put together COVID vaccines in record time? How is that not amazing?
Cold War already started years ago, the leadership in the west was just was too naive and arrogant to see it.
You don't say! I would have thought this is a historic drama about the military industrial complex if you hadn't warned me!
I feel like we're arguing past one another. This is not about dissenting opinions or someone holding unorthodox views. This is about someone knowingly purposefully making stuff up, presenting it as fact, and spreading it around with the intent to deceive people.

I'm not saying this should a tool to enable internet censors. This should be used to go after the networks of people people producing this garbage. Unless you operate a website or blog where you are literally making stuff up and spreading it around as fact then this doesn't affect you in the slightest.

A lot of good examples of this surfaced when people were talking about what bathrooms trans people should use. It was an entirely manufactured controversy where no-name fly-by-night "news" sites would publish completely fictional stories about sexual assault cases to try and sway public opinion. I, and you, should be equally as mad at someone making up news stories trying to sway public opinion the other way.
Before I got into Linux, I spent about half a year customizing the crap out of my Win98 PC using LiteStep. I must have tried about half a dozen alternative desktop shells for Windows back then.

Fun times... Thanks for reminding me!
> - risk tolerance shrank.

There's a lot of truth here and it plays out in even more ways than that. I look back through documentation of legacy systems and see so many things designed based on "engineering judgement". Sizing for that bearing? Engineering judgement. Thickness of other minor structure? Engineering judgement.

Now, the load on every little thing requires a 50 page engineering calculation report with figures, charts, and tables, that takes 3 months to prepare and another month to get reviewed by everyone. The littlest things now take forever.
Based on a quick read: This assumes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfactual_definiteness and denies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism.

This doesn't look like anything new, as it's been known for a long time that assuming either one tells you a lot about the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Maybe someone who knows more about QM can tell me if this is meaningful at all?

Edit: this is from 2012. I don't see what's there that hasn't been known since the 70-80s.
How did you want Signal to monetize?
MobileCoin has not yet paid Signal anything for integrating MobileCoin. We intend to donate a great deal of money to Signal over the coming years.

We believe in Signal's mission and we think that the world is a better place with Signal in it.
I found it a little weird that they conclusions section didn't mention the AMD or ARM competition at all, given that the Intel chip seemed to be behind them in most of the tests.
Designed for, but except in a very small number of cases not actually validated in the field to perform that way - and the specific antibodies may not be a useful indication of a useful immune response in the way we think it is. We do not have the actual evidence to demonstrate it.

> Capital controls come with huge costs, it's another form of import/export controls. Imagine being told the part you need to manufacture your car is 4x the normal price because of intense focus on capital controls, or worse, that you can't get it.

Lack of capital controls can come with a bigger costs, for instance if your country is weakened through the loss of strategic industries (or failure to gain them) while your businesses followed market incentives. The difference is that many of those costs are billed irregularly, so it's easy to pretend they don't exist by focusing on regularly billed things (e.g. price of widget now).
My impression is that CLJS, while an amazing way to write frontends with react, suffered from an incomplete/fractured tooling ecosystem, with the official maintainers leaning on the community to develop the 'batteries' and several good but incomplete and unofficial solutions being offered (lein-cljsbuild, figwheel, boot, etc).

I'm not actively involved with CLJS development anymore but last I checked that still continued, with tools like figwheel/deps.edn/shadow-cljs all sort of doing similar things differently, and there being good-but-not-as-good-as-clojure support in different editors like emacs, intellij and vscode. Similarly, there were a number of different, but still alpha quality ways, to use cljs with react native, all suffering from some major pain points.
Electrical Engineering departments were also starting to offer more and more "programming and computer" related courses as well. At a lot of universities these eventually branched out to become Computer or Software Engineering programs.
Point counts vary by time. Weekends such as today see less traffic and upvotes.

The threshold you might really want is upvotes as a percentage of readership, but it's not clear whether that data is available or whether the functionality is trying to be in scope for this.
JSON API adheres to RESTful principles and constraints: it uses HTTP verbs to fetch and manipulate resources and provides allowances for hypermedia. XML-RPC is neither RESTful nor supportive of hypermedia and has no place in building a REST API.
Five years ago, much of my team's time was being consumed fighting with the WSDL and SOAP specs, and their various subtly incompatible or outright broken implementations on our target platforms.

A switch to JSON-RPC 2.0 meant everyone now understood the entirety of the specifications our APIs relied on, and if we couldn't find a good implementation for our target, we could either fix one, or write one ourselves in just a few hours.

The productivity gain was effectively infinite.

I look at the JSON API specification in all its architecture astronaut glory, and weep.
If some of your users are in the EU you need to be GDPR compliant.
+21 isn't allocated, but

+211 South Sudan
+212 Morocco
+213 Algeria
+216 Tunisia
+218 Libya

Someone putting random numbers after +21 because it's unallocated has a fundamental misunderstanding of international phone numbers.

But also, the server side is likely to throw away invalid numbers to start with. It's simple and easy to do, and reduces the data storage by a lot (there's a lot of garbage in people's address books)
I agree on the concept being brilliant, especially as it gives easy access to use regex instead of glob, which is rather clumsy to do in normal bash.

It also prevents a lot of accidental globbing.

I would need to use it for a while to decide if the extra syntax outweighs those benefits, but I like the way of thinking!
So we just.. let it play out?

I know that the first world countries of today had to go through their share of pointless massacres, but I always thought the amount of stupid tribal warfare had been somehow tied to the state of the world, the available technologies and the state of knowledge, at least to some extent. As in now that we have Facebook in most parts of the world the people can see better that it's just people like them on the other side, making memes, living their lives, having families. Guess I was wrong.

Also if "let it play out" is actually the best we can do, I wonder whether it makes the civilians' lives better when we supply modern weapons (as in AK-47s instead of machetes) to the conflict zones and whether this makes the conflicts longer, shorter and more or less violent? This is an actual question.
If a "behind the scenes" screenshot outweighs an NFT in terms of proving authenticity, then why are we making NFTs in the first place?
If you look at the side view of seated people, the incline of the upper body and the nesting of feet under legs of next row pax works against you for club seating (seating which faces each other) and works for you for all forward seating.

If you look at the sibling comment’s video, you can see that the pelvis of humans seated back-to-back is farther apart than what you can achieve in today’s all forward-facing seating.

People are willing to some extent to nest feet with people they know but probably don’t want to sit 90° upright for over an hour.
Second that. I had limited experience with Eagle and just jumped into Kicad and was amazed at how much easier it was to use. So much less painful. Hotkeys are well defined and logical. Libraries are miles ahead and things like making new footprints is very easy. Ability to add logos and pictures to silk (or copper) easily. A few years ago Kicad was "a decent competitor" and now I believe they are actually way further along than that.
Maybe some people who used other tools like Altium can chime in but from what I saw Kicad is amazing...and seems to have a very active dev community.
Anyone looking to get into Kicad I recommend watching some of the very well done tutorials on Youtube (I watched "Phil's lab" and "contextual electronics" tutorials in my case).

Sorry for that fridge, but sitting all day looking down at the screen is not healthy. Most ergonomic way to use screens is using a strictly vertical screen, the top of the screen must be on the same level as your eyes. Other ways are guaranteed to give neck problems and headaches in a few years.
The popular refrain has more to do with the lack of memory security features in the language, although I'm sure they will bolt a borrow checker or something on to the language.

There are currently enclaves of developers who know varying versions of C++. There's a good chance that a 20-year C++ veteran would have to consult the documentation for syntax. That's concerning. Defining what something isn't is nearly always more important than defining what it is, and C++ is seemingly trying to be everything.
Dwarfed by that of C#, but it’s also going for something rather different that was never attainable by C# in the first place.

Also, I’m kind of on the fence about Go. I was charmed by how easy it is to read and their error handling strategy admittedly has benefits. But it is awfully tedious to write.
I have been thinking about how to solve this problem a lot lately. With the pandemic, I have been learning more recipes at home. I too share the frustration of browsing a recipe website and then getting a 7 paragraph story behind it. Just give me the recipe!

started uploading some personal recipes to https://benjaminclauss.github.io/minimalchef/ with Hugo (PR's welcome) but this definitely will not scale

I would definitely use a Strava for Cooking.
I would also assume companies/banks hiring COBOL programmers are more interested in candidates with years of experience with the language, since opportunities to build and grow with COBOL seem pretty slim outside of legacy maintenance. Granted, the old COBOL heavy hitters are becoming less common, but I would still think it would be difficult for someone that picked it up for a year or two to compete. Seems like it's just not worth the time and effort to break into this space.
I think that it was v7, I remember that it was SCO who did the SystemV 286 port (I know this because SCO brought the company in that I worked for when they got stuck working on the MMU, .... and then screwed us over .... long before the whole Linux legal kerfuffle).

I'm also skeptical of the comment at the end about MS getting paid for all x86 Unixes, I'm sure that was true for anything labelled "Xenix" probably not true for 286 and later SysV ports which were done outside of MS
The problem is the current situation is not reflective of real remote work.

One of the biggest advocates of remote work that I know is squarely someone for whom “remote work” has meant “running errands, walking the dog, heading out early for dinner, long lunches, runs after lunch” and so on. He’s much much more productive WAH this year than he was any of the last five years because all of these non-work activities have been actively suppressed.

That’s not going to last. The reality of the last 12 months is work has expanded to fill most daylight hours, meetings at 7am, meetings in the same day at 9pm, and so on. It’s not going to be possible to measure full-time remote this year until things start to open up.
