Understanding the Mindset of a Trump Supporter
I have a Mac Mini, my main work machine and an MBP, used when I travel. I backup both my Mini and my MBP to Lacie Thunderbolt SSD drives using Carbon Copy Cloner which kicks off the backup procedure every night.

I also backup my photos, documents to both iCloud and DropBox.

I don't use iTunes on my MBP, my Mini is connected to another external SSD which serves as my iTunes disk that is also backed up.

Whenever I travel, I just sync my MBP to be update with my Mac Mini.

I am also looking at using iDrive backup [1], but have not done so.

It is a large language but, for me, I just think it's an awesome toolset to work with. Is not for everyone.

Also you are shouting a bit hyperbole. Each new standard does not erase the prior standard. C++17 does not remove the features from ++14. Each new version focuses on different things, and they have been really great additions.

Also there is no C++18 or 19.
I'm not even sure this is an HMI library. Why does the example have to pull in Qt Quick to show live data?
> I mean technically its closer to my target production environment than macOS is.

Huh, I didn't think about that, but you're right. Yeah, I won't have to deal with slightly different shell tools that are bundled with macOS. I'm not saying those tools are bad, it's just that I'm so used to GNU tools. Also, the directory structures and the kernel interfaces will exactly be the same as Ubuntu. Good point.

Unfortunately my comprehension only got as far as "that is a really really nice use of words."

Can I have a hint?
I used to use duplicity but recently switched over to borg. Not having to do full backups is nice, I can mount any backup at any time and delete intermediate backups in any order.

This article shows that U2F has LONG way to go before it is consumer ready.

Expanding on the 'key' metaphor, U2F (or MFA in general) needs to be as easy as unlocking a door. Everyone knows how to do that; insert key, turn key, open door.

Until things like Yubikey and their ilk are as simple as this (and I know it's mostly the software that has to catch up), it's never going to be wildly adopted on peoples personal logins.

I use Smart-card auth on my work laptop along with a 8 digit PIN to create 2FA, and although it's supposed to be universally supported across all the applications I use, it really isn't. When I first started working here, I spent several days very confused about where the smart-card did and didn't work - I dread to think how the layperson works this stuff out.

It makes sense to me. He overall evaluates it on its own merits, but in conclusion puts it all in the context of the price.
I think the commenter's point is that it isn't enough for one to simply choose not to alter the future once they are aware of it. If they have the ability but do not exercise the ability, you've still introduced a logical contradiction.

From that perspective, framing action as "performative" is at best hand-wavy. You can reduce the claim to, "An individual can know the future without creating a paradox by choosing not to alter it." But you either have the ability to make decisions or you don't; you can't solve the paradox by introducing a phenomenon that in effect surrenders choice while holding on to the ability to make a choice.

That, like every argument of compatibilism I've seen, attempts to "have one's cake and eat it too" in an incoherent manner. When you reduce the dressings down to the base premises and conclusion, it's a matter of redefining terminology for a semantical victory. That's exactly like the sort of thing Wittgenstein used to criticize, because the conclusions aren't meaningful.

What would it actually mean for someone to somehow have the ability to know the future with certainty, while also retaining the ability to change the future? The ability to express that idea grammatically and to create a compelling narrative revolving around it doesn't make it logically coherent. Simply having the ability in principle means that there is a logical paradox.

That said, I deeply enjoyed the story. I just interpreted it as a story about humans being exposed to the reality of determinism and the process of coming to peace with it over generations, starting with Louise.

Gwern often writes in the style of lesswrong's perspective on rationalism - this comes with a tendency to assume the reader is also reading from this perspective and thus will automatically accept propositions like "precognition is the same as time travel".
It's often cited that in Europe the sticker prices of both healthcare and education are lower. However that's because most of it is being subsidized by the state; it would be interesting to see whether the total societal costs are similarly rising everywhere for a comparable education or comparable healthcare (e.g. ER visit for broken arm).
> Agree. There is a lot to be gained from using C++ with absolutely no or imperceptible overhead.

i would agree only if there is sufficient discipline and experience on the team, management included. Spaghetti C++ can be a lot harder to untangle than spaghetti C, in my experience.

This is coming to Windows stable in April:

- vt sequences fixed (so stuff like colored output, midnight commander, etc work and the terminal doesn't screw up)

- Elixir and Go work

- Also Postgres and MySQL

- You can launch Windows apps from bash.

- inotify works

- Visual Studio can compile with GNU/Linux C/C++ tools, gdb, linker etc

There's some recent fast ring info on: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/01/09/bash...

From reading that blog, and also: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111#issuec... it sounds as if the Windows console (separate from bash, openssh, powershell etc) is being entirely refactored for creators update. So those fixes should also help powershell, ConEmu and a bunch of other common windows command line stuff.

(2014) DON'T PANIC – Hans Rosling showing the facts about population
Oh man, Baldur's Gate pathing was abysmal, and not just because of moving obstacles (including the 6 members of your party interfering with each other while all moving greedily-not in formation-to the same general area).

With respect to the techniques that require precomputation, however, I wonder how they perform with such moving obstacles. Potentially quite terribly, I imagine.
Challenges of Deploying Security Mitigations
While a large part of my backup system currently consists of manually mirroring pictures to various solid state media (that occasionally are moved to separate fire zones) - and a good helping of prayer/good luck - the part which is set up uses duplicity driven by backupninja (from Debian repos - upstream is):
https://0xacab.org/riseuplabs/backupninja

It was complicated to set up separate signing and encryption keys such that the server sending backups could not decrypt (assuming the symmetric session key wasn't somehow kept around). But once setup the only worry was making sure the backup server didn't run out of space.

I've read about i3 several times over the past few years but finally checked it out a few weeks ago, and it fits exactly what I've been looking for in a Linux desktop for so long.

All I've ever wanted from Ubuntu/Gnome/KDE/XFCE (at least while developing) was the ability to launch programs easily from the keyboard, to tile windows in various configurations, and to manage virtual desktops.

i3 makes all of this easy with an incredibly simple and logical set of keyboard shortcuts. To anyone thinking about trying out i3, the learning curve isn't as bad as it seems, especially if you use a distro like Manjaro-i3 that can take care of some of the harder parts for you.

I grew up dinghy sailing in Maine and some of the more affluent kids would have carbon fibre parts on their dinghies.

I remember going to one of the shipyards (I think Vanguard... I can't recall) and watching them make carbon fibre parts. I was rather shocked how labor intensive it is. Maybe not labor intensive is the right word but it just takes a long time to make a single pole or mast.

If I recall you take long sheets of carbon fibre and wrap around a mold and wait a little bit and then cure it. You have to do this like 40 times.

I am probably missing a bunch of details as I was fairly young but I do remember it takes a long time to make carbon fibre parts.

So even if carbon fibre is produced at scale the molding and producing of actual parts probably has to be sped up as well?

It's not the protocol you use to communicate with the server that allows CSRF, it's the practice of authenticating based on a value in a cookie. Most of the time this is because you want to use built-in anchor tags and forms to communicate with the server instead of JavaScript/AJAX. The default behavior is for your server's cookies to be sent along with every request to your server, no matter where the request came from, so hello CSRF.

If your JavaScript adds a custom header to every HTTP request with a secret that you keep in localStorage, and your server always authenticates requests by checking that header instead, you can prevent CSRF attacks without switching to WebSockets.

Always be careful to avoid serving or running untrusted JavaScript, of course.
I had a similar realization when I read on STM performance[1], where almost all benchmarks showed considerable slowdowns for the parallel+stm implementations when compared against sequential solutions.

LuaJIT Hacking: Getting next() out of the NYI list

According to the charts in The Rise and Fall of American Growth we've gone from eating 3 times as much beef as chicken in 1800 to eating 60% more chicken than beef. This[1] shows that since 1960 beef has gone up in price by a factor of 2 relative to chicken. So all the evidence I could find supports the author's conclusion even if I don't have any data on relative meat prices going back to 1900 or so. If you've got some data that actually contradicts the authors claim about food prices I'd love to see it but given the congruency I found I'm willing to accept their claim.

For reference, the 'smell test' that lead to me thinking twice about this is the energy cost. Small animals don't have to live as long to reach full size, so you don't need to spend as much energy (food) keeping the existing mass of the animal alive while it's growing new mass. That's why (very roughly) the cost of common farmed meat is normally chicken -> pork -> beef.
It should be both

Yes, django girls is very good. They use it for workshops, see where people run into trouble, and then adapt. So it's very well battle tested.
What I took away from the book, particularly when she talks with the other linguist who also acquired these abilities is that they simply can't choose to act against what they know the future to be. It's not so much they want to or don't want to, it's that they simply can no longer make that choice to do it or not.

If you have a principled objection to all such journalism, then it's fair to apply that same objection to Gawker, Pando and Uber alike. I don't agree with your premise, but you at least seem to be consistent.

But I don't think that Ben Smith (editor at Gawker, and the person Emil Michael was arguing with) could make the same objection without being a transparent hypocrite.

No, the figures Scott cited include state subsidies. It's indicative that Britain, spending the same amount of money divided by total population, can provide healthcare to everyone for the same amount of money the US spends on Medicaid and Medicare for providing it for just the old and poor.

No one does immutability with copying, that would be a joke. There is also nothing tricky about not copying full lists on append at userland lib, just more advanced data structures.

Yes, it won't be as fast in modifying. But it will be a lot faster in other operations, so it's a trade off and you chose appropriately for your use case.

Plus, it's a lot easier to read and understand "immutable code".

The death penalty is a punishment in response to ordinary criminal acts. Even countries that have abolished the death penalty reserve the right to kill people in war.

There is a fundamental difference between policing and military action. Applying civilian legal standards to military situations is a bad idea because it inevitably results in watering down ordinary criminal protections to accommodate the needs of military situations.

- One or more burner MEGA.nz accounts

- Share via multiple of the many infamous "file sharing" sites - but pay close attention to the file size limits for free/anonymous downloads

- A torrent, seeded via VPS (as another user suggested). I haven't heard of people using UrDN for this specifically but I think that could be interesting.

- Share via DC++, use the chat system to tell everyone about the TTH at least 5 times within 2 days. (You could run a VPN between said VPS and your PC or use Xvnc/RDP and run DC++ directly from the VPS.)

- Find the underground community most closely related to the source code in question, or just general hacking forums, and share the link(s) there

- Carefully maintain your seed(s) (replacing dead links with new ones, etc) until the link(s) go solidly viral, then to be sure wait the same amount of time again. By this point you should have reached minimal saturation.

- Include SHA256sums of all the files on the website(s) you link to. Make a lot of noise about the checksums, particularly the checksum of the main archive (eg .7z) file. This will help minimize the number of people who try to latch onto/jump on top of your release and claim it as their own - they'll want to include their own message, which would alter the checksum. This is mainly for security, not vanity.

- If you ever think you want to provide updates, write a short message that describes yourself as the original source of this information, SHA512sum that string, and include the checksum in the release. You can then prove your authenticity by including the short message in the update; anybody can verify the SHA512.

- If you want to appeal to the warez scene or you think appealing to that demographic will help spread this, use the .rar format. It's not technically competitive anymore but scene groups traditionally continue to use it.

I've always found this a dubious contrast. Capitalism has rules, administered by a state. There's never been a 100% state-free society, nor a 100% state-run society. I guess the current-day closest are Somalia and Belarus, neither of which I find attractive. The question is always who has the power and how do we align people's personal interests with societal benefits? Because we live in a world where plenty of people are prepared to play negative sum games if they get out ahead.
In the theater I was really hoping Arrival ended with a mindfuck of an ending involving the death of most of the main characters following the big reveal; sadly my hopes were dashed.
It's neither. It's reject! because reject already exists. Ruby isn't Scheme: a ! suffix doesn't have a simple conventional meaning. (Unlike a ? suffix.)

The standard library has lots of side-effecting methods which don't come with ! suffix. On the same Array type that has reject!, there's delete, pop, push, among others. Only some of them have pure equivalents - e.g. last for pop.
I think they'd have pressure not to write clickbait articles.

At present, clickbait works because it makes money by driving ad impressions. Many readers don't even mind wasting time on such content, and those who do quickly move on. The downside to the publications churning out clickbait is minimal, because the readers have little investment in the product.

But once people are paying their own money to read articles (even a nominal amount), their attitude to clickbait will change. After they've been burned a couple of times by a particular outlet, they won't pay them for any more of their articles. But they will return to those outlets that provide value for money.

Presumably, most people will still stick to low quality but free sources, but I think there's a potentially substantial market for high quality content, if the price is right.

The big question is, will the amount people are willing to pay cover the costs? Real journalism can be expensive.
