> Extensions are a privacy concern and consume memory needlessly.

This is somewhat tangential to your points, but I see this type of comment a lot. Chrome extensions are just renamed zip files that contain all the JS, HTML, and CSS for their extensions. It is easy to take a look at the source code if you have any privacy doubts. The author might try to obfuscate the JS, but it should be trivial to see if there are outgoing connections being made. Google also makes it simple to disable extensions with a couple clicks if you want to keep particular extensions disabled except when you are actively using them.
The more I teach programming, the more I emphasize to students how hard/important the naming problem is. In fact, I've found the vast majority of novice debugging time is lost to naming-related problems. Sounds stupid, I know, but at the introductory level of programming (e.g. before trickier concepts, such as recursion, optimization, and memory management), typos and variable/reference confusion is a huge stumbling block, moreso because novices haven't learned debugging tools.

The naming problem leads to problems other than typos, of course, but it's amazing to me how much time can be wasted on that, especially when moving to real-world file/net access, when typos/confusion happen in the file path and URL level, and the confusion is compounded with misunderstanding of how the file system and HTTP works.
Yes. It's the same dictionary as the one for non-programmers.
Can you measure and reinitialize qubits? Testing fault-tolerant error correction with eight qubits would be very exciting.

Is there a chance that you can roughly summarize noise levels, to give an idea of what to expect? Something along the lines of Table 2 (page 6) in arXiv:1705.02771 would be helpful.

While they're technically different, they're "close enough for government work", and I don't know anyone who would make the distinction in casual conversation. IMO, there's no "of course" about it; a comparable situation would be interpreting "literally", "begs the question", "ironic", and such using their dictionary definitions, when it seems clear that the writing has a more colloquial tone.

Yeah, I think that people jump on that bandwagon just assuming that it will work magically. It is better to explicit about it if the cost is minimal. Python also strove to eliminate unsightly bracketing, but it did so by replacing the characters with a more readable delimiter, not removing them entirely.

To be fair to Ruby, most of the time when I've come across a situation where the call became ambiguous due to lack of parenthesis, the failure was obvious and easy to fix. I still think introducing that type of ambiguity into the language is an antifeature, but compared to CoffeeScript, where the automatic delimiting is non-intuitive enough that you often have to compile it down to JS to check that it's rolling everything into the right place, it's no contest.

On our CoffeeScript project, the compiled blocks would change layout even with very minor changes to spacing or code arrangement. It would've been much easier just to throw in a () and tell it what we meant!

What would people think of a VPN service that builds it for you, then hands over control when done? E.g., it walks you through setting up a DO droplet, uses keys to install a VPN, then prompts you to change the keys so it can't access the server? Think there's a market for that?
No, no it doesn't. You two clearly didn't understand what I wrote. I don't how to explain it any simpler than I already have. Depending on the bacteria and the storage conditions of the canned goods, you might need to hold it to a higher f-value. For instance, canned goods that will be stored in a 25-40C range target an f-value of 12 to 15. The higher the temperature you use, the less time you need. And vice versa. It's a misconception that certain bacteria can only be killed at high heat. Quickly, sure. But, as long as you target the correct f-values, all you need is 100C. And a lot of time.
But even at fairly old ages, the levels are very low. Yes, they are several multiples of the rates at younger ages, but the base rates are also very, very low.

Some people doing that is not enough to assume significant shifts in market forces will happen. The question is will enough people do that?

I agree, a price signal might send some people finding solutions, but I'm afraid that a lot of the solutions would cost more than the savings, so that would reduce the field of what is possible. And mostly, I wanted to underline that simply sending a price signal is sometimes not enough for certain markets and does not scale too well by itself.

I saw two mainstream reviews of this so far. The first liked the new camera setup. The second said it was awful.

Still waiting for answers to my two personal big questions:

1. Will any of the other major brands offer a similarly high-spec, dual SIM phone in the UK in the immediate future?

2. What is the security and privacy situation with a OnePlus 5 running their version of Android?

If I want a good quality, dual SIM phone so work + personal can be in the same device, and I want the camera/video functionality and Internet/browser functionality, and otherwise I really care very little about any sort of apps or cloud-based anything and would actively prefer something simpler with more privacy and security, is this currently the best option on the market?

In the times the gp was talking about, you'd set up a cron job to download a 1.7mb file overnight, and be happy if it finished by morning. So yeah, apples and oranges (of the gp).
High-quality lossy files are fine for listening, but lossless is required if you want to sample the audio to create a remix or DJ set from it, because you're inevitably going to have to encode the output artifact of that—and you don't want to be chaining lossy encoding steps, as the loss-function of most psychoacoustic encodings tends to be exponential when applied repeatedly.

re: wavpack, from wikipedia:

> WavPack also incorporates a "hybrid" mode which still provides the features of lossless compression, but it creates two files: a relatively small, high-quality, lossy file (.wv) that can be used by itself; and a "correction" file (.wvc) that, when combined with the lossy file, provides full lossless restoration. This allows the use of lossy and lossless codecs together.

This hybrid encoding format lets you keep files for both purposes (lossless for audio production and archiving, pre-encoded to HQ lossy for audio consumption) in less space than would be required to keep e.g. an ALAC file + a cached lossy M4A encoding of it, the way iTunes does when you specify "optimize tracks' space-usage for portable devices."

Such a hybrid design is ideal for e.g. the Internet Archive, where they want to keep lossless archival representations of files for historians to study, and to create encodings from; but also want to serve usable representations of those artifacts to users who care more about transfer-speed and bandwidth cost than perfect fidelity.

I used to do this. The amount spam of mail I received to mailbox names I had never used started to dwarf my actual email. This is apparently made worse because spammers take the fact that these addresses will receive mail as a signal that they're valid, causing them to send more mail to them.

A couple of years ago, maintaining the blacklist passed the point where this was a viable technique for me.

This is true, sort of. It was also true when people said the same about Perl (some people still say this about Perl!). Then Rails happened to Ruby, just as the web was going through another phase of explosive growth. Likewise, Node or Rust + GitHub effect.

The point is not to compare the growth trajectories or projected peaks, but to emphasize the levering effect of an enjoyable language combined with modern collaborative development and infrastructure. A language doesn't need "everyone" to build a viable ecosystem, just a critical mass.

> If it's still around in 10 years then it might be worth looking at (but still probably not).

Knock on wood and all, but from past observation, I think Julia is at or very close to this critical mass already. I would compare Julia now to the SciPy ecosystem around 2009-2010. That's just when IPython was getting popular, early versions of Pandas were released, and people were starting to trust Cython. (I was a heavy Python user then, and frequently suggested it to Matlab users who had exactly your question even in to 2012-2013). There's already a surprising breadth of packages, they just need time to mature. Sometimes too many, actually -- I recently found three for a relatively obscure geophysics format I used to work with. That lever is big enough that people often don't mind rolling their own.

Yes, that's why we don't ask for any permission, so the extension only gets activated when you click on the button.

Everyone can get hacked, governments, big companies... so who do you trust enough to give your email?

Some services might block our addresses some day, but that would be a mistake because nBox is not a disposable email service.
Bad advice.

At the very best, grosssly incomplete and misleading.

After rejecting what other people like, the best pg can come up with is ... to follow what you like. That's an equally fraught heuristic, though it may be more avaialble for observation and examination.

Realise that what works does so regardless of appeal. But that there's a great deal which has (near-term) appeal which doesn't work (long-term). Sometimes it's a false start, sometimes it's a fad, sometimes it's cargo-culting, sometimes it's an establishment of common ground which facilitates communication or understanding but not effectiveness.

I'd suggest instead:

Look at what is being practiced, and ask why?

In the case of the short story: the history of literacy, amusement, entertainment, postal delivery, publishing and printing technology, advertising, bundling concepts, and the lack of subsequent alternatives (radio, television), increased literacy, and free time, made the short story a popular format. Different dynamics brought forth the radio serial, soap operas (first on radio, then television, now the White House), sit-coms, movie serials, blockbuster movies, space operas, and comic-book franchise preboot requels.

Funding environments can create entire classes of research or application -- surveillance capitalism, AI, national security, moon shots, abstract art COINTELPRO.

I'm the last space alien cat to ask what you should do that leads to success, though my own heuristic has been to look for fundamental questions, ask a lot of why, and question premises. Going back to roots and history can make a lot of foundations look far less firm. There may or may not be opportunity there.

I'd also focus very hard on being lucky.

Based on estimates that I have heard, the cost of a single car can be upwards of $300K. This limits putting large fleets of cars on the road only to the well funded (Google/Waymo, GM, Ford, Uber, etc) for only testing purposes. Smaller upstarts would need those cars to start taking rides and generating revenue a lot sooner. This seems like a worthy innovation to bring down costs and encourage more competition in the space.
"Main point"?

That's a point among many.

This is a documentary about Assange himself. By definition that means a study of the man, not strictly a study of the issues. So "kvetching about Assange's personality and motivations" is exactly the flipping point.

Now, pivoting to the issues for a moment: the situation with WikiLeaks is complicated. To distill it down to a simple slippery slope fallacy without acknowledging that complexity is, at best, pretty shallow thinking.

It would be dishonest to claim that the kind of radical transparency WikiLeaks espouses has no downsides. Again, the potential threat to Afghani informants is a pretty damn good example.

Is that cost worth the 100% censorship free society that WikiLeaks seems to want? Personally, I don't know... because, again, it's actually pretty damn complicated.
Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.
The service is fine as-is. It sounds like a perfect complement for a password manager like LastPass or 1Password. All the points brought up are addressed by the password manager: sync across multiple devices, use multiple browsers, etc.

A password manager generates random data for the password textbox. Your extension generates random data for the email textbox. Perfect!
If I'm doing my mental compilation correctly, these can't actually be parallelized, due to 'ret' being referenced and set by each line. I'm curious if this is actually the case, and if an actual parallel implementation is possible (and how fast).
That's my doing.

When we started thinking about quantum programming languages, we didn't know what they should look like. Experimenting with different languages efficiently requires a language that makes language-building easy. I find that there are two classes of languages that provide that: Lisp-likes with metaprogramming and ML-likes with a good type system including algebraic data types.

Quil [0], our quantum instruction language, came out of language experimentation in Lisp. In fact, the Quil code:

H 0
CNOT 0 1
MEASURE 0 [0]

used to look like this:

((H 0)
(CNOT 0 1)
(MEASURE 0 (ADDRESS 0)))

This was a no-hassle way to play around without thinking about how to wrangle lex and yacc with shift/shift and shift/reduce issues. If you've ever used them, it takes a while to get what you want, and integrate it into a product you're trying to create.

In addition to the need to construct languages, we also needed to simulate/interpret the language. Simulating the evolution of a quantum state is very expensive (which is why we are building quantum computers!), and is usually relegated to some closer-to-metal language like C.

Unfortunately, in C, high-speed numerical code (that is also blazing fast) is very difficult to experiment with, extend, maintain, etc.

Fortunately, over the past 30 years, Lisp compilers have become excellent at producing native machine code. With a compiler like SBCL [1], you can produce code which is very nearly optimal. For example, we have a function to compute the probability from a wavefunction amplitude. Here it is:

> (disassemble #'probability)
; disassembly for PROBABILITY
; Size: 90 bytes. Origin: #x22B67F5A
; 5A: F20F104901 MOVSD XMM1, [RCX+1]
; 5F: F20F105109 MOVSD XMM2, [RCX+9]
; 64: F20F59C9 MULSD XMM1, XMM1
; 68: F20F59D2 MULSD XMM2, XMM2
; 6C: F20F58D1 ADDSD XMM2, XMM1
; ...

There's some additional code that follows, but it disappears because this function is also inlined at the call sites.

Writing the QVM and associated compiler in Lisp has allowed us to move fast. The code is compact, extremely robust, and extremely fast.

I could say a lot more about this, but that's the gist of why we thought it was a sensible decision.
