I have a Seagate USB3 drive and it is giving me bluetooth problems. Its cable is very thin for a USB3 cable. A shielded USB3 cable typically is as thick as CAT5 Ethernet.

The problem is, it's hard to tell how thick a cable is looking at the pictures on Amazon. I need a good quality 1 ft long USB3 cable and I don't know how to find it. Both my short (1 ft) cables are not shielded.

Sure, if we're talking about saving a copy of an image, I agree. I assumed that there was original content (i.e. writing) that had simply been entered directly into blogger, which a typical writer might not know how to backup at all.
The solution should rather be that society (and publishers) does not consider papers (or more generally: texts) as research that don't also publish everything possible for independent verification (in this case the source code and raw data). If this is not the case, the text is just a plain marketing statement (in contrast to research) comparable to the marketing statements that are made everyday by lots of companies.

My rough understand, as someone who works at Dropbox and knows some of the people who worked on this (but isn't directly involved), is that this currently only runs on our servers. The perf requirements are primarily that we don't want to slow down syncing / downloads significantly - and also want to keep the CPU cost under control. As is, the savings in storage space should easily pay for the extra compute power required.

Thanks for your reply and apologies for the 'esoteric'. Maybe not the right wording but I read your post few times and I would have liked to get more details about the idea.

The idea sounds ok once you clarified at the first glance but how does it work, will it work, what would be the implications. And many more questions. Currently I see the core idea surrounded by many vague statements.

And btw you can do this today already: just start a VM with a browser (might be a bit resource heavy and the integration into the main OS subpar). Or Docker with a browser. Not sure though if latter fulfills your security requirements.

But at the end, the browser is more then an isolated piece of software in a VM. An integration on OS-level is required and trivial stuff like a full-screen mode is possible but might complicate matters within a VM. Or 3d acceleration and everything where a direct access to the API is required. And suddenly the VM is piping everything through the main OS because a browser just needs access to all the OS APIs and then you end at square 1. So, I also find your idea a bit confusing.

> Once you have a provably correct sandbox (which I think is possible today, if you exclude things like 3D acceleration), you can run whatever you want in it: old software, games, Flash, Windows 98. Application-specific proofs only work for applications written in the approved way.

What would a generic sandbox enforce? That an application never accesses the network? That it never accesses the local filesystem? That it never communicates with another process? Browsers need to do all those things and more. I think you need application-specific knowledge to be able to enforce the restrictions that matter.

> Will more people who can contribute positively to climate science help if they had free access to those data?

I think if we only consider it as science if it can be verified independently, also the "opposite side" (your "well-financed groups") has to provide evidence of the same high standard, which would strongly increase the level on which the debate is pursued (i.e. the opposing side also cannot get away with outlandish "evidence").

> The OpenBSD code has been audited many times by very experienced and careful C experts. Fuzzing apparently found the very few things they hadn't already found by reading the code.

That's definitely comforting, but I guess my point is that the fact that bugs can even hide in plain sight in the first place is the root cause of the problem. If we can look at a specification of what something is supposed to do - the code - and not see that it does something entirely different, then the problem is with the programming/specification language.

The very purpose of a programming language is to make the specification of computer programs readable (rather than reading assembly). If a specification language needs a a computer program to go through the specification and see if it specifies things that we didn't intend to, then that specification language misses the very point of being a language in which to specify things in the first place.

Good work.

Although Bret Victor deserves lots of appreciation for his work, most of his ideas are actually how Xerox PARC workstations and Lisp Machines used to enable developers to program more productively.

So if anything the best part of his work is making young generations aware of what the industry lost when those systems failed to gain wide market acceptance.

PTVS has had IPython support for a long time, but it's not exactly like the notebooks, the IPython REPL in PTVS is more akin to Jupyter QTConsole. Better than nothing for sure, but not enough if you need or want to work with notebooks.

Like I mentioned, I've experimented with opening a notebook in a browser tab in VS, and I'd say it's passable while waiting on a real solution [0].

Somebody mentioned that PyCharm has notebook suppport, and that looks closer to what I want than just a REPL [1].

I've been using VS for years, from before I started using Python, and I still prefer to use it if I can. If I'm not mistaken you work on PVTS and left a message here around eight months ago about PVTS coming to VS Code. I really like and appreciate PVTS, is there any way you can update us on a time frame for when these updates to VS/VS Code will come, and what you have in the pipeline?

By the way, a lot of times I prefer the folder based projects in VS Code to the solutions in VS. I wouldn't mind if you could bring that to regular VS too.

I'm a co-founder of the lowRISC project (and author of the linked article). Our mission is precisely to make this sort of startup more feasible. We are a not-for-profit project aiming to be the "Linux of the hardware world". The hope is to increase the ability of startups, researchers, and others to innovate by taking our complete known working open source SoC as the starting point for their design. For instance, starting with the lowRISC design and adding a neural network accelerator.

An SoC capable of running Linux should be the starting point for these sorts of projects rather than something that requires substantial investment (time/money) to recreate and verify.

I'm not much of an artist, but I dislike people defining what is and is not art. I feel like it often takes on a level of snobbery or elitism. "My child could have painted that!" in regards to a painting that sold for $1.5m. Sure, but they didn't, and some artist did.

I like the definition of art as being: It's art if anyone has ever called it such.

Not that people ever listen. Backups are perhaps a lot like basic insurance in that way. In a lot of countries basic health and liability insurance policies are mandatory because a sizeable chunk of the population would refuse to have these without that requirement, even though it benefits the vast majority of people.

Silly if you consider how from a technical and practical standpoint nothing prevents you from carrying a backup of every important document you've ever owned and a good deal of photos and such with you in your wallet on an encrypted mini-SD-card. Wallet gets stolen? Make a new backup. House burns down? You have your backup. Drop off a card at friends or family, keep one at your employer, hell, stick them on the Christmas cards you send out each year to your nearest and dearest; with proper encryption you are the only one able to use them anyway.

It also doesn't help that people blindly trust the big tech companies to do this for them.

VS Code?
By 'pass around', I mean pass around instances, not definitions. You could define your own Eq interface in F#

type IEq<'a> =
abstract member eq: 'a -> 'a -> bool

but you then need to explicitly pass instances of this interface around into every method that requires it e.g.

let allEq (s: 'a seq) (eq: IEq<'a>) = ...

whereas the haskell version would receive the Eq instance for the input type implicitly.

Typeclass instances are globally unique for each type, which cannot be enforced with the interface solution. If you have an ordered map type, you can be sure the Ord instance used for insertion is the same that is used for retrieval. With the interface approach, clients cannot know which instance to use since there could be multiple implementations. The Haskell approach has its own problems, such as the proliferation of newtype wrappers to manage the dispatch mechanism.

Interfaces also hide the representation of one of their arguments (the receiver) whereas typeclasses are just a dictionary of functions.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

From the article:

> [] Three of the twelve subjects did not use the recommended high-level language JTS for solving the task, but rather programmed in assembly language instead. Two of these three in fact required the longest working times of all subjects. One might argue that the decision for using assembly is part of the individual differences, but presumably most programmers would not agree that doing the program in assembly is the same task as doing it in a high-level language.

In my experience, making the right decisions like that is the real
difference between good and not so good programmers. Good programmers
do on average better choices that results in less code, code that is
easier to maintain and reason about, and choosing language and architecture
that fit the problem at hand. It is not that good programmers develop
so much faster usually.

It seams to me as period of 50s to 90s contributed as a blip. Yeah, the American middle class doing artificially well. Europe was still rebuilding from WW2. The Soviet Union wasn't really a match (despite the pretenses). Rest of the wold with filled with poor counties with terrible with repressive regimes.

At the time the US had a liberal business climate compared to other parts of the world. As a result a lot of industry was created and exported via culture.

What's happened since is that rest of the world caught up. Europe is no longer rebuilding. Soviet Union fell apart freeing a lot of nation states to purse western ideals. In Asian countries the regimes got softer and also liveried their economies. So there's a lot more competition. Globalization became possible and practical.

In the US life expectancy went up (medication and not smoking) so that made generous defined benefit programs a lot less practical. Women and African Americans can now do a lot of the jobs that were reserved for white middle class males.

All of these things contributed to white middle class American males losing out compare to what they had before. Baby boomers and before just happened to be in the right place / right time.
While it's one of the primary complaints (after purchase), the market would seem to suggest that people prefer smaller/thinner phones in terms of purchasing decisions.

Most of the time the things people call "DMCAs" aren't actual DMCA takedown requests, though. For example YouTube blocks a lot of content based on automated flagging which doesn't even invoke the DMCA -- illegitimate flagging isn't illegal, it's often not even a violation of the ToS, even if it causes lost revenue.
