You only have to transmit the pads securely once, if you send enough of it. The rest of the time you can transmit
non-expensively. That's the whole point. It's the tradeoff of one extra-expensive secured communication once so you can transmit anytime, anywhere afterwards securely. If you really care about nation states grabbing your data, this is a much more reliable system than what is proposed herein. (Though really, just a two-factor auth system would be more secure than what is proposed)
I would just like to point out Facebook was not among the companies indicted for collusion.

How has nobody compared this to the FitFinder yet? It was clearly better executed than this is and had gained traction in the UK.

The only reason it was shutdown was because the founder was told he would be fined heavily and wouldn't receive a degree if he didn't.
No, that means that only having 48 bits of physically addressable memory gives you the ability to have many times that amount of virtual memory -- and that virtual memory can be used to implement this fun page-faulting shenanigans without worrying about taking up any real memory address space. You have enough virtual memory for all your physical memory, and these tricks, and then some.
For folds over lists you don't need tail call optimization:

You just implement them any which way (eg with loops), and the user of those functions never has to know. That's how eg reduce or map or filter work in Python.

That holds in general for combinators.

Haskell is actually a bad example to use here, because the tail recursive foldl is rarely used. Thanks to laziness, foldr is usually preferred, and it is not tail recursive.

OCaml or Scheme are perhaps better references? Especially given the history of Javascript: the author originally wanted to write a Lisp, but got told by management to add curly braces.
It's true that DOS was originally a CP/M clone, but CP/M didn't have a defined standard option switch character, and in fact many command option switches weren't preceded by a switch indicator or differed as to what option switch character was used. If anything + and - were the most common prefixes for an option switch.

The article is quite right that the convention of using / for command line switches came from IBM.
> you are also eating the operational cost of integrating a new technology into the org.

and in short order you will reap the savings of being able to hire people who already know your devops/infra tech stack, and can hit the ground running. not to mention being able to benefit from the constant improvements that come from outside your org.

What is a non-trivial password doing in a YAML file?
This is a tool that I found recently. In the 0.2.0 release, there's support for multi-region queries which I've been really excited about. Now I can do a single query without having to doing merges in post-processing.

SQL joins across different APIs has been really handy too. I can do comparisons of my AWS, Azure and GCP compute resources in a single query.
If you remove the "regardless of size" part, you'll be describing any modern language dependency system.

And most of them also execute external code on module importation... what I'm not sure if it's even relevant, because you will run the module at some point anyway.

So, yeah, JS makes the problem one or two orders of magnitude larger. But the problem is still there, whether you use npm or avoid it.
In group A there are engineers that just want to turn the crank on scoped work.

In group B there are engineers that want to be in the business problem solving loop and have autonomy to solve problems as they see fit.

Group A and B aren't necessarily the same group.

I'm going to guess this guy has more than one talented, unhappy engineer on his staff. Some CEOs are unprepared to utilize the talent they hire.
I'm very much against this type of thinking. My garbage man does stuff, but I don't see him famous. A lot of people do stuff. Doing stuff is maybe a prerequisite of being famous but it is not sufficient(or maybe it is not, you can be born into it :D).
What I see central to all these guys is a capacity for taking risks with the potential for high payoff.

Negative development is a pretty mechanical process by default, and yes I still shoot on film as well as digital and I love my lab. I think a good analogy is the editing, design, and typesetting of a book - it's visible on every single page and certainly affects perception of the work in multiple respects, but still a long way from being equivalent to authorship.

Even to the extent that development of a film is copyrightable, it's entirely derivative of the original exposure and certainly can't be considered to subsume it for authorship purposes.
TL;DR "run by the state" = run by the executive appointed by the trust appointed by the monarch.

The government doesn't have direct operational control. The BBC executive is appointed by the BBC Trust. Trustees are appointed by the monarch in accordance with the recommendations of the government. So, beyond the selection of the trustees, the BBC is independent of government.
He briefly mentions it and enumerates its potential benefits.
It would be more interesting to have a 3 month timelapse of Zed's screen. That would explain his productivity better :)
Those sound like more steps in the right direction. The last one starts to sound like Dropbox: "It's a folder... that prints."
To some extent, there are privacy and trust issues in both places. But I have a bit more confidence in Apple's ability to police their store, and more importantly, official apps are sandboxed and can't touch the filesystem or OS directly.

But honestly, I'm more concerned with quality than trust. I think that malicious apps are probably very rare on Cydia; I'm more concerned with background processes that eat battery life, changes to the underlying OS which make the phone unreliable, buggy code with unintended side effects, etc. I don't think this is the norm, but I have very little information with which to separate the gems from the junk.

On a computer, installing apps with no restrictions is the norm, and so there are countless forms of social proof to discover which apps are safe and reliable. I'm looking for something equivalent for Cydia packages, as well as detailed manifests of what is installed and running with each install. (Perhaps I should just stick to paid packages, where the author has higher incentive to maintain quality.)
Wow, he had some good shit. ;)
Agreed. I saw the Aurora Borealis once whilst flying from the US to the UK - I happened to wake up and look out the window at just the right time and was absolutely mesmerised, just stared and stared until our heading changed and it was no longer in sight. I thought it was absolutely beautiful.

This seems to border on flame bait. You can't call a situation where you abandon a programming language due to lack of knowledge/experience (or just due to preference) a 'best practice' for that same language. Calling converting all your ancient Perl scripts to Python a 'Perl best practice' is inviting a flame war.
The only Russian Sci-Fi I have read was Roadside Picnic. I REALLY enjoyed it in multiple of different layers. Was nice to read a book fromt he cold war on the "other side" from where I grew up. I need toadd this title to my list.
It's not just the recognition front end that is problematic. In context of the issue of mis-recognition, Aphyr's tear down of various backends [1] -- which for all we know are in use by the lettered agencies -- gives me the willies.

Yeah, it seems like there's no general solution to this. If I put in '10AM in Chile' for grabbing coffee with a friend, I probably want it to stay in wall time no matter what happens to the offset.

If I'm making a note of a solar eclipse, I need it to stick with physical time, and if the offset changes the reported time changes.

If I'm scheduling a conference call to Australia, then when the offset changes, one of us is going to have to reschedule, and my calendar can't know which. (We might both have to reschedule, if neither of us can move it by a single hour.)

It might be able to say "you scheduled this at 10AM, but the DST rules changed, and that physical time is now 11AM wall time, what to do?" My Australian colleague isn't going to get that warning, unless her calendar knows that she's talking to someone in Chile, but as long as one of us knows about the problem, we should be okay. But I'm not sure I trust this to cover all bases.
> you're making too many criminals

80% of property crime goes unsolved, so unless you legalize vandalism and theft there are going to be criminals.
Agree. The other application is to transmit data w/o the ability of anyone to spy on it. You could have two servers mounted on top of each other in a rack.
This is an interesting book to translate to English. Glebsky is trying to determine the gender of Brune for the half of the book and this involves trying to make him/her to talk about oneself in the past. In Russian verbs are inflected with gender only in the past tense so somebody speaking about oneself in the past will have to inflect verbs with one's own gender but there is no gender specific grammar for the present and future.
Did they do something clever in the translation or just dropped this plot line?
> Does anyone have information on how or if it is possible to refuse giving ID to Amtrak and still get tickets?

Oddly, I can't remember anyone ever asking me for my ID on the train - just the ticket. And if you purchase the ticket online, you can print it out either at home or at a kiosk with just the credit card or confirmation number.

> what they were asking was illegal.

Are you sure it is? They're a private company - on what basis is it illegal?
Really? From the article:

"They tested with two widely used DNN systems that have been trained on massive image databases."

Is this wrong?
Personally i use dropbox, we transfer or self hosted depending on the content and who I am sending it to.
I was thinking the same thing until I scanned through the paper linked above. While neural networks are indeed non-linear, some NNs can still exhibit what amounts to linearity and suffer from adversarial linear perturbations. Example of linearity in NNs that the authors are considering from the paper:

>The linear view of adversarial examples suggests a fast way of generating them. We hypothesize
that neural networks are too linear to resist linear adversarial perturbation. LSTMs (Hochreiter &
Schmidhuber, 1997), ReLUs (Jarrett et al., 2009; Glorot et al., 2011), and maxout networks (Goodfellow
et al., 2013c) are all intentionally designed to behave in very linear ways, so that they are
easier to optimize. More nonlinear models such as sigmoid networks are carefully tuned to spend
most of their time in the non-saturating, more linear regime for the same reason. This linear behavior
suggests that cheap, analytical perturbations of a linear model should also damage neural networks.
WoT can't be effectively spammed, unless those spam accounts are trusted by people you trust. The spam accounts can vouch for each other all they want (a la Twitter), but you control whose trust you value.

Oh, my mind is playing games to me. You're right. I misremember it. Sorry.

Will update my comment.
why not? The only difference is that ISIS makes life hell for a larger group of people. Does that lessen its impact on an individual?
Intel NUCs or similar clones Lenovo ThinkCenter Tiny or HP ProDesk Mini are good candidates. They are not worth their retail price but are often sold very cheaply on second-hand markets like eBay. I have one. Very quiet things and can handle a dense amount of workloads. Memory, storage and mini PCI devices are all upgradeable.

These things consume around less than 8W at idle, so obviously they are not as low power as the RPi. But if you need to handle a lot of beefy services on the same machine then the power-performance ratio of these machines may be more attractive.
The scenario that merits trusting the OS, or app store, is one that assumes you are not individually a target. This means you trust Apple/Google and US/EU. I don't know, I could see there being reason for scenarios that fit this use case but have trouble bringing any to mind other than making fun with crytpo to feel better about yourself, or just muddy the lines for the FBI. If you're an activist, most definitely you fall outside this scenario and shouldn't be using these phones.
It's possible in theory. I have customized my ABP rules a ton, switching off rules I didn't want (impossible in uBlock), adding targeted rules for anything from annoying animated avatars to slow domains or bloated mastheads you can't scroll past (shit's almost as bad as modal pop-ups), and I've been unable to do any of it in uBlock because it's way, way too much hassle.
Haldean Lands sounds like it has players and puzzles. And most of the graphical adventure games I’ve played haven’t had scoring systems.
Ok, so you agree that his quote is irrelevant.
While browsers can't decide on a format for the Internet I can't imagine what kind a mess the auto industry could come up for custom sounds for cars. But the arguments would be funny to listen to, 2 guys in a pub, the first boasting about how his Mustang is lossless, the other disregarding due to background noise and file size.
Unfortunately, it was already built. And what came out of it was Anonymous.

Ever hear of 4Chan?
Let's not extrapolate what we think they mean from what they actually say. Most people don't challenge their own opinions so even the 'locking your door' argument helps them begin to articulate more precisely. From there it's possible to have a discussion. You might arrive at a point where people understand the nuances of privacy and I still consider that a win (eg "I don't care if the police know about my affair but I don't want the neighbourhood to know")
I'd also recommend digital ocean. I've been using several small $5 droplets for various things, including a couple of web servers and everything has been great so far. Also, as a rookie I really appreciate all the tutorials on setting things up over there.
Everyone has the right to deny being treated without stigmatization or punishment.

The first part of this sentence is OK, the second part is not.

For basically all of history, quarantine -- backed up by the threat of deadly force if necessary -- has been an accepted feature of civilization, since allowing an untreated carrier of infectious disease into a population has impacts beyond just that one person's health.

Or, more simply: sure, you can have a right to refuse treatment. And everyone else can have a basic right to defend themselves from you when that refusal poses a threat to their own health.
However it is more complicated than this, b/c the majority of people that do get the measles and die from it typically already have other health problems. Recently my niece got the measles --a "breakout case" from the vaccination itself actually. I was very concerned b/c I thought if they expect everyone to get vaccinated it must be pretty deadly. The doctor said otherwise. Because she was perfectly healthy in all other respects, there was no cause for concern.
The working assumption is that anyone who has a problem somewhere along the software chain will have access to the source and have the ability to fix problems when they need to. They're not dependent on one company to make fixes when there is a problem.

While it's not a big 4K monitor, when I used to travel a lot pre-COVID, I got a 15" USB monitor for my laptop. It was small enough to easily haul around in a carryon bag and gave some useful screen real estate.
Hello,

Carte is a side project that started at my workplace (Shapr3D), where we looked for an easy catalog of our DBs and tables, and could only find setups with multiple microservices (LinkedIn's DataHub for instance), or very enterprise-y solutions.

So this library is basically a way to scrape your datasets, and it also has static site set up to display that in a nice way. You can also search through it all! You can also edit the dataset descriptions using a Git based CMS if you like.

Let me know your thoughts, or if you'd like to see any other connection added.
Haha. Just last week I posted in the intranet about exactly this. The response was telling. Pandemic bad, so cut those poor parents with screaming kids some slack. You cannot understand me because the birds outside are too loud? Please tell me :). I think we should all just communicate. Blah blah.

Everyone has decent company-issued headsets. If the company policy is to waste time in meetings, so be it. I get paid either way.

I think smalltalk is fine until everyone has finally arrived though.
C++/CX came out in 2011. The C++14 constexpr stuff didn't make it into Clang and gcc until last year.
This is a good advice but I would have said:

Just work on it until it's finish.
Only if I _know_ I'm creating something that will definitely have huge amounts of concurrent users and someone pays me to make it scale from the start.

> A tax incentive that is legal (i.e. mortgage interest deduction) would be illegal as a giveaway (giving money to only taxpayers with mortgages) as it would fail equal protection under the law.

This is a good thing, exactly the type of corruption that needs to be eliminated.

>For example, if I take deductions for my dependents on my w-2, I have less money taken out of my paycheck. The other way around, no loopholes, would a) discourage having dependents

The other way around would be to pay you for having dependents. I do not see how that would discourage having dependents.

>and b) would force me to act as the bank for the government.

I do not understand what acting as a bank for the government means.

I have working hardware that is no longer usable under Windows because drivers no longer work. Hardware companies have no interest supporting old hardware and they drop support in a few years. I recently got a new computer at work with a part that it's already considered "legacy" in the vendor's web site.

Closed source drivers are a nightmare for users.

> but the techies' dilemma is that it's often difficult or impossible to put a hard number on the value they have added.

Yes, but the point is that if you want to make a good salary, that's the problem you need to fix. What is your approach when you encounter something that's "difficult or impossible" in your daily work? You apply intelligence and creativity and create a solution.

> The reality is [..] If you don't like that, time to go into management or sales.

Whatever you do, DO NOT try to change the rules. DO NOT try to learn what it is management and sales do to get those nice, big salaries. When something is hard, GIVE UP.

Of course you need to understand the employer's BATNA as well: If they don't appreciate tech, ie. their BATNA is to fire you/ignore you until you leave, then that's what you do. But companies can do that to their sales and management teams as well.

My instinct in this scenario would be to use Bcrypt on the new systems, and then try and find some other hash function that came out to 8 chars for use on the legacy systems.

Can anyone with more experience point out whether I am in any way on the right track here?

EDIT: hmmm, the storage of the passwords as 8-char weak hashes would render the more secure hash function used on the modern systems irrelevant. Maybe use the output of the strong hash as the input of the weak hash? Would this be secure?
I've only really started using it recently, and I can watch an entire Doctor Who episode at full quality with only 4 bars of service (iPhone 4). At weaker signals the quality drops before it buffers (I'd honestly rather it buffered).

Of course, I'm not in SF or NYC or anywhere else with notorious bad AT&T service.
The DES hashing function that Gawker used/uses has an 8 character limit, so even if you chose a longer password it would get truncated to 8 characters on the server.
Schmidt's ideas are certainly entertaining. He just forgot to mention who's going to pay for all that wireless connectivity and data transfer. Before any of the other pipe dreams can come true, the first disruptive innovation we need is affordable wireless connectivity. Today's mobile carriers will never give us that.
