The article says that the "majority of app were payment platforms".

I would interpret it with the quote of Trump: "by accessing personal electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers, Chinese connected software applications can access and capture vast swaths of information from users, including sensitive personally identifiable information and private information."

I think with the idea of "camera scanning" they will require authorization and they will capture sensible informations of US citizens. I think that's the idea behind this kind of ban...

For some background on the demoscene, I liked this article from 1995: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.07/democoders_pr.html
Good article - with regards the first point - Sin #1: Pride - "Showing off your customers. People want to use tools that big brands use." - Would you need to get permission off of the big brands to use their brand on your site ? Or the fact they use your site - could that be enough to publicise it ?
Thank you for posting, OP! I have a tangential question about your programming style. I've noticed you define quite simple structs, that nevertheless have constructors and are not POD (e.g. they include a deque<>), and define the methods that work on them inside a namespace. [0]

The two main styles I've seen are (1) the classic full-fledged OOP-y C++ classes with methods, and (2) POD structs with functions that work on them defined in namespaces, in a more C-like style.

Your style seems to be a mix. You don't seem to get the big downsides of OOP, as you're grouping functions per namespace instead of having to make everything a class and ending up with a contrived architecture. At the same time, you're still going to be using many C++-isms due to your use of non-POD structs, which some people may appreciate (for uniform initialisation and memory management), and some people may enjoy less (due to the limitations and complexities of constructors, being forced to use exceptions etc.).

I apologise for my extremely superficial description, but I think it's enough background for my question, namely: could you speak a bit about this programming style, what led you to choose it, and what you enjoy/don't enjoy about it? Thank you! :)

That's good to hear. The critical issue for me would be running an x86 (incldung AVX) Docker image on M1. Reasonably sure that's not going to happen in the near future.
After WWII the German government created strict renter protection laws and the state invested heavily in relatively high quality public housing. You can compare the results to the UK, which cities were also bombed, but invested in private housing instead. Germany also famously had been "the sick man of Europe" before the current boom, were real wages did not rise for a long time.
Any browser extension can at any time be hacked by, or sold to, malicious actors that will make your computer theirs.

If you wouldn't run a random executable from the internet to see "times around the world" don't get an extension to do it. It's the same risk.

Just do what Nielson does: Pay people for their data.

I don't think it's that difficult; if pay-for-survey skews results toward overvaluing the opinions of the poor and/desperate-for-money, well, then it would be the first time in history.
Listen carefully to your argument.

You say that peripheral vision is more impairing than lack of binocular disparity. But peripheral vision has zero impact on depth perception, so the existence of the peripheral vision problem does not mean that binocular disparity can't be the biggest impact to depth perception, which was your initial assertion.

Also, motion parallax is useless for stationary objects seen by a stationary observer. You make it sound like lacking one eye is no trouble at all, I don't buy it.
Similar to that 19th century as a inflationary time for typography, why in our time eye candies like this, with low legibility, are considered as good design...
I trust Bruce Schneier on this stuff and he advises against telegram:
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/06/comparing_mes...

Also in the comments on that "article" some people link against a cryptoanalysis of telegram, which can be found here: http://cs.au.dk/~jakjak/master-thesis.pdf

Someone else also mentions that telegram stores message logs on their server, if that's true it is definitely a big no no.
Moxie doesn't care about sellout money. As I understand it he wants to run signal as a lifestyle business, and he has private donors keeping everything afloat. I'm not sure if it'll stay independant if Moxie ever leaves, but hopefully there's a stable org structure. Source: The JRE podcast he did a couple months back.

Also if they ever sell out, the server & clients are completely opensource. It wouldn't take much for someone else to fork the whole thing and run a competing service if we ever need to.

> The harder part is gaming our media. If attackers can help direct where voters vote with $$$, that's a cheap attack too.

Let’s be real that’s basically a part of politics. That’s not an issue with elections per se.

Plus it’s clearly easier to just use social media and targeted propaganda to manipulate voters.

I’m all for secure elections and improving that security.

But my understanding is that to date when people have taken a serious look they’ve found no meaningful evidence of fraud.

The real deal is if we got rid of the electoral college then the presidency wouldn’t come down to a few thousand votes in a few counties in a few states.
What if screenreaders randomly switched between revealing and hiding themselves? Developers would get statistic but couldn't deliver a different UI to screenreader users.
As a native French speaker: very good translation.

One small point: I do not understand why you added "it" to the last sentence of the introduction. Your translation of that particular sentence feels weird to me, why not simply:

"And source code belongs in source control."

Also, maybe "différentes" (in the third sentence) could have been translated to "various"?

* * *

Aside, note that the original text itself has several errors. Many accents are missing, some letters or words are missing or doubled. I may submit a PR to correct them.

Moreover, the text includes many English words (not all of which are common in French). It even includes a barbarism: "tracker", from English "track" and French common verbal suffix "-er", supposedly a verb supposed to mean "to track" — a shame, since French has the verb "traquer" to express the same thing.
Gotta love those bold colors, and the flat Modern UI interface way ahead of its time.

Freenet is great as an uncensorable web-like-system. But it's kind of monolithic.

It would be nice to build a freenet-like system out of modular parts. I think Tribble has the beginnings of something like this. http://www.tribler.org/ It overlays a "gossip network" on top of the bittorent protocol.

I'd see the ideal uncensorable Internet as consisting of fall-backs from the ordinary protocols and processes. If the user can't find the DNS of a site, they look using an alternative dns system. If they can't find the IP, they use something like Tribble to find the thing.

This would be done as a browser plugin.

Another piece would be to have particular authors embed their public keys into whatever text they write. A user could search with Tribble or whatever for more works by that author out of outside of ordinary web search. Such a system would verify authorship and "source" without the need for a centralized certificating authority.

I think many, if not most, of the people in this conversation really are forgetting that taste is subjective. What you view as a terrible film is often what millions of people enjoy. What you view as great cinema millions of others would find boring.

As an antidote most people I know do not share the same tastes as me (I find the 30s-50s as my golden age of cinema and love Humphrey Bogart) as I with them. While my wife can't stand black and white movies (with a few exceptions) I also really dislike most modern romantic comedies (with a few exceptions such as Love Actually). Of course she says she enjoyed the black and white movie that I made. :)

This also holds true to television as well. I don't want to keep up with the Kardashians or see which C-list celebrity has the best dance moves. Other people didn't want to watch Rubicon or don't want to watch Portland Timbers soccer. (I also think I'll be much worse off with unbundling of cable channels as the niche channels are often included in packages with more popular channels and will likely die off without enough interest and pricing power to sustain the programming.)

John August, a screenwriter with a great blog and podcast and a geek at heart, has made the observation that talented writers are starting to prefer working with TV (channels such as HBO, Showtime, AMC, FX, etc.) as they're given more latitude to tell their stories than they are in a feature length film for a studio. So, if you were to ask me for a prediction (and you didn't), that is the way I imagine the industry going with Amazon, Netflix, etc. picking up some of those shows as well. Those, along with live sports, will continue to draw audiences as they provide topics of conversation for the majority of society. (Obviously you and your group of friends are too sophisticated for that and discuss philosophy and indie rock but you're a small segment of society.)

You can never please everybody. And you'll likely go broke trying.
The Sony alpha line is moving agressively in that direction, and that includes all the nice glass and other bits of a system going back to the very first autofocus SLR (Minolta's). The lineup today no longer has SLRs they are all SLTs, with a fixed semi translucent mirror just for the phase-detected focusing system. The optical viewfinder was replaced by a screen fed from the sensor.

The (very well confirmed) rumors are that they will be doing away with the mirror completely, and going full mirrorless. Without the mirror there the extra space should allow for all kinds of fun adapters to other systems.

Their existing mirrorless sytem (NEX) is also moving fast. They are about to announce a SLR-shaped camera and the rumor is they will be moving NEX to full-frame and adding in-body antishake at the same time.

When it comes to high-end mirrorless Sony is the one to watch.

The challenge of electronic services is in identifying your customers. Especially when you're doing something allegedly on their behalf. Double-especially when that has permanent state/data loss consequences.
I've run linux on and off as my desktop for the last 12 years or so. The current iterations are much better than even what existed a few years ago, but still lacking in application support for what I spend a lot of time doing.

There is no Final Cut, or even iMovie for linux.

Despite all the raves, I could never get the hang of Gimp and found it lacking for things like photo editing and cataloging ala Aperture.

Not to mention the countless times there some application I wanted to use and it seemed I could only find a binary or package for an linux varient that wasn't what I was using at the time. Chasing dependencies, etc.

When I used linux as my desktop, it just seemed that I was always fighting the OS if I wanted to have full support for my hardware features, decent applications, and up to date patches.

Now, for a server, I'll use almost nothing but linux.

"Self made man" is a common phrase, and arguably an expression of a collective understanding.

Everyone of us has recourse to the contextual/environmental support that you (correctly) point out. But only a few manage to use it effectively. In that context, the skillful individual has accomplished something that most other individuals apparently can not (or do not wish to do).
You mentioned Sinatra? On my todo list is to look at Dancer, which seems to have started as a clone of Sinatra.

Edit: I might add that you could describe the situation as that parts of Perl 6 has been "backported" to Perl 5. Moose seems to take over the Perl world, like testing did a decade ago. The fun part is the extensibility of the language.

I've not seen remote meetings or chat clients replicate the kind of talk that goes on casually in person. I've not found them to be smoother at all. Walking around, getting into a different environment, sketching stuff on paper, even the body language and whatnot - it's just not very easy remotely. And while it takes work to make a company go, it takes more work for remote to work, overall.

It's like saying offshoring development is OK because "project management is hard and you have to be on top off things regardless".

But hey, I'm glad it works out for some people. A lot of my work is done remotely. But for core development or engineering on my own project, I'd want to be sure onsite meetings happened with fair regularity.
I hate to do this to you, but:

Both the RNC building and the DNC headquarters are a few blocks from the Capitol.

Information is still being uncovered and reported. Since I'd posted my comment above:

An Alabama man allegedly parked a pickup truck packed with 11 homemade bombs, an assault rifle and a handgun just two blocks form the United States Capitol Building, according to federal prosecutors.

https://nbc-2.com/news/national-world/2021/01/08/police-foun...

Given conditions, volitility, and expressed intent, two blocks proximity to the US Capitol building, on the Capitol complex, and directly across from the Cannon House Office Building, the location is well within the security zone of concern for the Capitol and was clearly associated with the insurgents and rioters.

I still fail to see how requiring a person Show ID on election day is "suppression"

You can not function in modern society with our showing ID at various times, you can no rent a hotel room, a car, cash a check or hell even return merchandise to a store in many cases with out a ID

But you are telling me on of the most important civic responsibilities is suppressed by showing an ID, and ID that is freely available at no cost to all citizens

> There is no manipulation going on by “Big Tech”. Your fear mongering is unfounded. Pushing this sort of rhetoric is what created the insurrectionist events a few days ago.

There's definitely manipulation going on by "big tech". Social media has radically distorted political discourse and amplified some trends far beyond what Fox News style media alone could have accomplished.

What's debatable (and perhaps straying into crackpot conspiracy theory territory) is the idea that "Big Tech" has done this deliberately, collectively, and with goals of steering society at large in any particular direction. This hypothesis is a lot more far-fetched than the default assumption that big tech has smaller, more localized concerns about maximizing profit, and cares little for the broader consequences of the interaction between their algorithms and society. (Analogously, it is absurd to suggest that US food companies have a goal of making everyone obese and giving them diabetes and heart disease. They simply want to make more money, and have found ways to optimize their product until it becomes addictive, and they don't care about the long-term or large-scale impact on the public because it's not their job to care.)
Maybe they didn't fail us...

> Well there were pretty heavy gun regulations that were enacted under Obama.

No there weren't.

> I guess Obama did allow cartels to have guns by continuing Fast & Furious so you're half right.

You're half-right because of this one, the Obama administration circumvented federal law to allow known prohibited persons to buy guns and then let them take the guns across the border. over 1200 guns were lost to known organized crime without even getting Mexican gov't permission.
Intel is intel because of x86, not because of their fab. 10nm is what, 4 years behind, does anyone feel confident 7nm will be ready in the next 5 years? Having a superior architecture (which they don't anymore) can only compensate for so much regarding node size. Intel isn't going to pull that one around. Having your fab in-house only makes sense if you're state of the art. At some point, not admitting defeat and just keep increasing TDP is false pride.
Isn't that just another facet of the same concept? The property you're referring to as "intricacy" is quantifiable and scales with the kinds of problems a program solves.
Your experience is the price of admission to gain access to a global audience. The low barrier to entry is why you're fighting for pennies.

Twenty years ago when I was in high school, I worked at CompUSA. They sold a lot of software in their day... in my region of the country, 40% of software sold passed through our store's door. To sell software at CompUSA or similar retailers, you needed to interface with a publisher, who would then try to sell your software to a buyer at the store. Then you'd need to print collateral, get an attractive box, duplicate physical media in quantities sufficient to stock 500 stores. At your expense.

And for all that, you'd be a box on a bottom shelf somewhere.

If you wanted to actually sell software, you'd need to pay for premium placement on an endcap or display. I recall one vendor who paid over $2M for premium endcaps at each store for a handwriting recognition app.

When customers were dissatisfied, or returned your software that wasn't supposed to be returnable, the store would withhold payment for your software (which was running 60-90 days late in most cases) and mail you back the resealed box at your expense, which may have contained a rock instead of your software.

Fast forward to 2015, and you're paying $99 to sell software for $15 that nets you $10, which is paid promptly every month. Apple treats you like cattle, because you are in effect a cow to them... there are thousands of people like you!

Huawei’s range of products and reputation continues to grow. It is no longer seen, as it once was, as a low-end brand in much of Europe (that would be Xiaomi). So, by the time that developing-world populations are able to afford Apple solutions, Huawei would have already covered the higher-end segment and become known for quality.

I strongly encourage you to see Africa and Asia firsthand before making claims about Apple versus other brands.
economic espionage is different thing and yes it exists.
for example Huawei equipment - is cheap and low quality Cisco ripoff. But it is no different than employees in Silicon Valley changing companies and taking their knowledge to the competitor.
In the former, people relocate from one company in the valley to China, in the latter, people go from one SV company to another. Same thing for me

Has Lucid Motors's founder (former Tesla employee) conducted economic espionage or is it simply capitalism working as intended?
