I don’t understand why this argument gets made particularly concerning space exploration. Somehow it’s ok for humans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year on each one of entertaining movies, going on holidays, playing computer games, sports events, etc but a few tens of billions of dollars spent on space will imperil the long term survival of the human species and leave millions of people starving in Africa. That attitude seems crazily disproportionate.

That is not a good usecase for bloomfilters. With a bloomfilter you can tell if something has not been added/done. But you cannot tell if the opposite is true. In technical terms, false negatives are not possible, but false positives absolutely are, and should be expected. It can tell you: "This is not in the set", or "This is possibly in the set".

With that in mind, bloomfilters should be used for things where you are only interested to know if it is not in the set, or when you can tolerate a given false positive rate and size it accordingly.

For the first example will give false positives and be hostile to players that have not attacked. That might be okay, but not what you expect, and you might as well use probability for that. The second example I suppose you can use it to only try things you haven't tried before, but it seems weird.

That said, the link you provided is actually a good post about the topic, and include some good insight. It's not trying to hide that bloom filters are No or Maybe.

I'm getting a bit tired of the smart home system example. We've seen projects for smart home systems in DIY magazines since the 70s. These projects never really took off, and turned into businesses (Nest being a notable exception). It's something people don't really need or even want.

In Poland, and I believe it's an EU regulation, every seller is obligated to take your old appliances when you buy new ones in the same category. For example when you buy a freezer you can drop your old one for recycling free of charge (so the cost is included in the retail price).

Sometimes it's even used in marketing ("bring your old TV, get new one 10% cheaper"), maybe because they need to meet some quotas so they have to actively convince people to bring their old stuff.

I'm not sure what happens with the items they collect, but hopefully it's shipped to some recycling center instead of getting dropped in a landfill, which would be the case when consumers didn't have this option.

Falcon 9 has a heat shield around the engines. Since they are going into the atmosphere engines-first it's going to be hot there. The engine bells sticking out from there don't care (much, since the entry burn reduces speed enough). Most of the speed reduction for the landing happens via aerobraking, not by using the engines.

I'm not talking about the tone, but since the FCC demands and gets detailed technical specs of all cellphones sold in the U.S., it's hard to believe that the information "the thing that the head of the FCC has been asking about for a long time is clearly not possible" wasn't known by the FCC.

It's not just about very recent devices versus phones a few years old; the FCC has the information to know that there hasnt been anything like a "switch to flip" for (at least) many years.

You can use QtQuick without QML (although its a bit of effort) and Qt itself is very modern C++ friendly with support for example for using lambda's as slots and such. You can also (and should, IMHO) treat QML as a purely data description of the UI (as you would if your UI was created with a GUI builder, which QML can also be, as eg libglade does for GTK, or html or whatever), then you can easily do all of your logic in C++ without writing any javascript logic. I've actually done this for parts of an application: I created QObjects in C++ and in QML I attached QML properties (signals) to my C++ objects methods (slots) for the logic. It was pretty nice. Basically, you can think of QML as a data serialisation format describing the UI.

Just throwing in my experience with Qt. I haven't used Boost.UI so have no opinions on it, but I'm sure its great too! (although its clearly early days, QtQuick has a super rich widget library, Boost.UI still needs some more work -- still, a promising start)

One differentiator to point out is that Boost.UI uses system widgets. I personally prefer QtQuick's GPU composited custom widgets (not that the native ones don't do this, just that it works really well for me in Qt), but sometimes its desirable (and some people prefer it) to use system native widgets. Boost.UI looks like a great choice for this.
ICBMs also typically launch from underground, which helps a bit with the noise and maybe even the weather. Also, you'd have to dig a pretty wide hole to make it land-able and reusable.

Would you really cast that as a positive lesson? I have never watched this series as a kid, but it seems really awful and confirms the argument of the article.

In the moral system I was raised in (EU), people have a legal right to strike and helping break it is highly immoral.

To me it seems abusive, and ignoring historical lessons, to teach this kids the other way around.
It's basically free.

There's far more stuff coming from China to the west than vice-versa. A ship can't travel empty, but needs to be ballasted with an appropriate weight of cargo. If there isn't enough booked cargo on the return leg to China, they'll make up the weight with scrap metal or rubble.
The RRNoise suppression is less appealing to my ear than the Speex suppression... But:

- the approach is pretty cool!

- as mention in the article, it might be very useful when applied to multiple speakers (conferencing)

- it might be very interesting for speech recognition softwares

Also, as a sound guy, when I have a noisy signal I sometimes remove it a bit too heavily -> I mask the artifacts with some background music. I will definitely try that with the RNNoise suppression !
Ideally this should happen, but with limited man power and motivation, maintaining multiple huge code bases in parallel is something only big corps can hope to do. That's why in open source the old code is forked and carried forward by someone else, if it is worth it.
The earth-to-earth idea is nice, and whilst it would be an improvement, I expect the travelling time to be the biggest obstacle.

You have to gather the people, check them in and clear them during internation flights. Then you have to load everybody on a boat, ship them to the platform X miles into sea, unload them, take them up the big tower, letting them board and settle and depending on how predicatable this is, wait for clearance to take off.

Now is the short flight.

And afterwards we can do the entire thing in reverse.

Some things might be a bit more optimized, like perform customs, safety instructions etc during the boat trip. But the entire trip from arriving at the sea/space-port until leaving it at the destination would probably be making this a diminishing returns and only really interesting for the extremely long flights.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. That's why I mentioned in the end that Musk is of course free to pursue his ambitions - in the grand scheme of things money is spent on much more pointless things, so him investing in science and space exploration is surely a comparatively good investment of his money.

Of course it is.

If you think about it from the perspective of a dynasty trying to save its own skin under any circumstances to avoid having to go through something akin to another Nuremberg trials, then everything the Kim leadership does is rational.

They are even willing to point nuclear weapons at the world and subject the North Korean people to no end of physical and mental abuses just to maintain their grip on power in a country where they live like God-Kings.

But most people back then didn't go to university. And the OECD compares across 23 developed nations.

Though, in my opinion, education quality has gone down.

In France, 2010ish?, in my last year of high school (in one of the best parisian high school) there was a boy who couldn't read aloud a text without stumbling. I don't know if this would have happened in the past. But back then only 20k students reached that stage and now it's 200k.

edit: stumbling/stuttering
Granted, but bash and other readline applications generally have a very different mode of operation compared to a text editor. They operate on single lines of input at a time (most of the time). Editors like emacs operate on a multi-line body of text, and most people expect those to work like the other text fields in their environment (Ctrl-C/X/V for copy/cut/past, Ctrl-A for select all, shift-home/end/arrows to select text etc.)

I know you can activate those keybinding in Emacs, but then none of the documentation you find about keyboard shortcuts will apply to you.

The fact that many places support emacs keybindings (like MATLAB or IntelliJ) are an indication of how many programmers are used to those keybindings, but beginning or aspiring users most certainly are not.

Don't get me wrong. I love Emacs. I use Emacs everywhere, and for everything. But I know that the default behaviour and keybindings were a hurdle to overcome when I first got to know Emacs, and it took me time and effort to get comfortable within the editor.
> the loader can allow part of that application's data segment to map over the memory area reserved for its stack resulting in corruption of the stack, with possible privilege escalation

So if you can craft and execute an executable, and you can write to things that you already have write access to, how does that result in a privilege escalation?

If you could overlap with things you shouldn't be able to access, e.g. your kernel stack, then that makes sense. But how does being able to overlap your own user-space result in you being able to do anything you previously couldn't?

I'm not sure that would work well as it would need to understand the cycle of the (unwanted) backing - i.e. in a simple backing track there might be a kick drum, then snare, and the system would need to know where those 'should' be in relation to the backing - I don't think this would work that way - particularly due to the way that it's achieving the removal of the unwanted noise (altering the response of each band of frequencies).

I'd think it would be possible to create something that would do what you're looking for, but it would be much more complex than the above (and -way- beyond what I'm capable of at the moment, maybe in a couple of years I'll be able to do something like it).

I've had more luck with taking the backing and using phasing to remove it from different sections of a song - if you get a track where the backing is simple, sequenced and samples/repeatable synths (so that the sound is identical each time it happens), then it's possible to take that non-vocal section, and align it with the vocal section on another track and reverse its phase to get cancellation; You have to be precise and get lucky in terms of the rest of the track, but it is possible. There is, of course, the old stereo swap and reverse phase trick which removes everything that's not panned centrally; that can get you a lot of mileage.

As mentioned, though, in another comment, getting hold of acappellas/stems can be much better, and having listened to some of some classic tracks, you can learn a lot about production in a short time by doing so.

No it isn't.

If survival and self-interest is your goal then lying and breaking agreements might be a perfectly rational approach.

I may be biased (physics postdoc), but I think a lot more people have read (as in properly read, not just skimmed or cherry picked) the Feynman lectures than TAOCP. They're very approachable to anyone who understands basic real analysis and fairly short. They do start slow, though, that part is true.

I do think there's a bit of a misconception in that people think the Feynman lectures will teach them all there is to know about physics, at least in summary. That's false, if you want comprehensive coverage (of classical physics, mostly), try Landau-Lifshitz. The Feynman lectures are an idiosyncratic, fairly shallow treatment of selected parts of physics, produced by an extremely original mind. They're invaluable for the peculiar perspective they offer more so than anything else.
