A bit of a side-track, but I feel like I'm in a weird waiting phase with Pure FP JS.

With Elm, I don't really feel like introducing it to my team before 0.19 hits, because it "feels" like it's around the corner, but it has felt like that for a while.

With Haskell, I'm not entirely happy with GHCJS and the tooling surrounding it. I'm dreaming of the WebGHC[0]/WASM being nicer, if it ever gets done.

I don't exactly know what keeps me off PureScript, perhaps that most frameworks just seem to compile to React, and that the community still hasn't settled on one (at least it seems so from the outside).

Honestly, Miso[1] is the one I feel the most optimistic about atm.

I knew I was an old silly valley engineer after I saw hardware I worked on at weird stuff. Then later I saw other hardware I worked on a Halted.
Well i did have to put in a special order for a brush as broad as the one I used above :-)
This could have been entirely innocent. It happened to an android device I am familiar with as well. Third-party screens will usually identify over i2c/spi/whatever the same as original, but you cannot apply original firmware updates to them (they are different internally and will get bricked). However, as they are designed to appear original, there isn't always a way to tell. The two options both suck: do not ship firmware updates (bad) or ship them and risk damage non-original screens (marginally less bad). The choice in the case I know of was made to not ship update (it was minor). Apple chose otherwise.
pre internet I remember driving to Stevens Creek Boulevard from San Francisco for all the Indian pc stores, and visiting Frys and weirdstuff and other places I knew the location of and what they sold but didn't know the name. These days everything is online and apart from places like Jameco - which are online too - physical retail locations in the valley are very last century. Very sad to see WeirdStuff go though...

Adoption is forced by pirated stuff. If scene groups start to use it, people will want to play it. And those groups don't care if you can play whole movies on your phone. Because thats not what a phone is mainly for.
Yeah, thanks. As soon as posted this I realised it was a matter of definitions. And I used the word demand not as an economist would use it.

My short definitions would be

economic demand: the demand that exists at a particular price point.

everyday demand: a need or want, irrespective of price or availability
China already docked a submarine in Sri Lankan port that they were building in 2014 and later took the lease off. Sri Lanka later rejected the Chinese request of docking a nuclear submarine. So, I think it is on case-by-case basis and if local government has curried favours with Chinese Government.

They are building military infrastructure (listening posts already exist) in Myanmar's Coco Islands, and Maldives too, in their strategy to surround India which is called, "String of Pearls".
In art the term for this is “young geniuses and old masters”. We are all familiar with the trope of a ‘young genius’ but I think it says something that art, a field older than any language or building, has a specific category carved out for those who reach distinguished success in old age...

Fortunately, we are armed with radical social justice tools like "empiricism," and are capable of noticing that some outcomes really do look like racism in action. Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word? "This happened on our planet" is not indicative of racism; "this happened in a racist society, as a result of policies that began with both racist intentions and which enacted racist outcomes" is.

Try not to conflate the words "disproportionately affects" and "systemic discrimination." There are some things that disproportionately affect women, like "being able to become pregnant." That's a mere fact; frustratingly, it turns out to also be a thing that marks someone for systemic discrimination. "Being able to become pregnant" is, on its own, just a boring old fact, and we mustn't do anything about women being able to become pregnant at rates far higher than men. On the other hand, we ought to do something about ongoing misogyny, in all its modern and subtle forms.

And yeah, if rural folks are disproportionately affected by a set of beliefs or policies that mark them for lesser treatment and poorer outcomes merely for their being rural dwellers, then we can't ignore that. Do you not understand that there's a difference between people being different, and people being marked for worse treatment because of their difference?

I think all I'm asking is that, yes, you do fight against the root cause: the act of marking others for lesser treatment because of their group. If you deny that such a difference is salient to someone's treatment, you have freed yourself from noticing or helping their plight.
No, while it was a revolts against the revolutionaey regime, it was not one to restore the pre-revolutionary regime or the classes who lost power in the revolution, it was a popular peasant uprising sgainst conscription by the revolutionary regime.

OTOH, even if it were a counter-revolution, why would it be excluded: would you really make the argument that a revolution isn't particularly bloody, if you have ignore the cost in lives of putting down attempts to restore the old order? That's part of the cost of achieved a revolution.

At the risk of running afoul of HN zeitgeist, I'll steal the advice, "treat yourself like someone you're trying to help." Bargain with yourself and figure out the biggest step you're willing to take in the right direction, no matter how meager. Substitute to break the pattern, or look for ways to interrupt the feedback loop. Or find ways to make it farther from reach to do the things you want not to do. Or use combinations.

It can take an enormous amount of compute power to encode 4k video at 1:1 speed with these more complex codecs. Multiply for multiple bitrates and resolutions. If you can't encode at 1:1, you add significant delays to 'live' streaming, thus making it not 'live'.

Case in point, a 40 second 1080p clip would take over 8 hours to encode on an i7-4800 - that's less than 2 frames per minute. You need a lot of horsepower to cut that down to 40s / 60 FPS.

I feel your pain. I used to work for Bit9. Some customers found their Java builds slowed down a lot due to all the temporary files created and Bit9 trying to hash them.

From what I understand, AV just tries to match hash signatures. CB is doing more analysis. It's a tougher not to crack.
I don’t think that this was a bug. Most probably, they have those DTO objects for viewing and editing. In that scenario the correct thing to do would be to create a new DTO object that exposes only the necessary information, but this is an extra effort.
appreciate your genuine followup. As dang said, given that this exact comment has been made, more or less verbatim, as intentional whataboutism it's become my default assumption.

A frustrating part of whataboutism is that it works so well because of good-faith contributors still being able to cause the same derailment/distraction that a cleverly placed bad-faith comment can.

There was indeed, as I understand it, a plan to sell all set up hardware, ready to go. The original stuff got delayed when the main developer had his house burn down in a forest fire or something. But the software is usable.

I hear the claim pretty often that threads won't scale and that even modern OSes can't handle many threads. It makes me wonder if people are doing something different, since I've found that threads are fine.

And let's not forget property prices.
From the LimeBike podcast interview transcript:

'Right. The unique economics then comes back to the start. There are two parts. To the bike itself is straight up that all bikes are roughly about $300 at a manufacturer cost. You’re looking at retail price of this equivalent bike, maybe $900 to $1,000. Manufacturer’s bike, the top bike manufacturer in the world.'.

They charge $1 for a 30 minute ride. If we believe that they recoup the cost in 90 days, they're doing $3.33 in revenue per day, or roughly 3.33 half-hour rides per day. The breakeven on the bike itself would be at 300 rides at $1 each.

A quick Google search shows that well-reviewed e-bikes are commercially available from $650 and up. JUMP charges $2 per half-hour ride (per their website). They would need to generate 325 rides to break even. It doesn't seem that the payback period on the bike itself is meaningfully longer than a traditional bike.

Keep in mind, this is assuming that JUMP is paying anything close to retail on e-bikes. Anyone who visits a HKTDC or Canton Fair trade show will have seen that there are some seriously impressive e-bikes (folding, lightweight, 15MPH), available for a fraction of $650 if you're buying in bulk.

EDIT: Changed $6.66 in revenue per day to $3.33. My mistake.
I do appsec for a living now and it is amusing how few people question stuff. I have made a name in a small firm by finding something easy, but usually severe, and coaching coworkers who had no idea. Of them I one of the most junior, and we replaced security people from before and the most senior has been here 2-3 years. Some of the stuff I'm busy writing up has 5-10 precedence in the company and upsets lazy culture and repeat copy pasta.

And I will tell you on sprints where anyone is busy that team introduces something sloppy or nutty when one of us does not watch closely and ask, sometimes both. But when I point things out people are eager to roll it back.

Why the down votes? I think it’s cynical but certainly within the realm of possible.
Everyone here is asking about hardware encoding/decoding, which is obviously important.

My question is, at what level do these encoders work at? Are they basically specialized SIMD instructions, or are they fully featured chips that take raw data as input and produce byte streams in the format of the protocol? Or somewhere in between?
Wow. So it's acceptable to spend a month re-inventing a wheel, but not one hour learning that it already exists? I wouldn't have thought such a backwards employer exists.

Scott Adam's advice (reposted by Matt Cutts) is pretty popular: https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/scott-adams-financial-advice/
The angular diameter of stars that are light-years away are really really small. Yet they are visible to the naked eye and cameras all the time. So it's not just about the angular diameter.
The Tokugawas liked to spy on their daimyo and samurai, the better to maintain and consolidate power. Giving each samurai fifteen porters was a great way to make sure that eyes friendly to the shogun were on that samurai at all times.

I'll leave the workplace parallels as an exercise.
Interestingly, your definition of “everyday demand” is close to the concept of demand in economics, and your definition of “economic demand” is exactly the concept in economics of “quantity demanded” (the quantity coordinate of the point on the demand curve with a particular price coordinate.)

I've been putting together a better lab and it's pretty tough. On eBay, most sellers are very optimistic about their prices, making it a bit tough to put together a lab as a student. There are few resellers like WeirdStuff around, and most e-waste gets shipped off to somewhere with laxer environmental regulations.

The only real way to buy industrial parts and equipment is to live in a big city and attend industrial bankruptcy auctions. Most of the time it's machine tools, but occasionally a prototyping shop will go bust or a local university will do a surplus sale. These are the only real way to get decent gear reliably I've found.

Right - with Prop 13, property taxes never change, sadly.
The fundamental issue is that the average person in the United States and Austrailia simply don't really care for their online privacy. Offer something free and people will happily sign up and give all sorts of personal information without any hesitation. Offer a loyalty card at a store with discounts, and people will happily sign up for it.

Even after the Snowden revelations, not much really happened to the government or the NSA. Even after the Experian breach, the credit rating agencies are still making good money.

The underlying reason for this is that except for minorities, most people in these countries never really experienced the downsides of this type of loss of privacy. This is in contrast to Europe, especially Germany where people in living memory experienced first hand how the government could use your private information to literally cause you and/or your family to be imprisoned, tortured, or even killed. Hence, there is a much greater appreciation for privacy in Europe and especially Germany.

It is for these reasons that I am pessimistic that the United States and Australia will really take privacy seriously at all in the near future.
I’m sorry: what problem do you think Facebook is ignoring? I have heard interesting arguments elsewhere — but not on the company ignoring anything.

All I’ve heard in this thread is people judging the company in hindsight, and based on a rather convoluted speculation (that happen to be false: Cambridge Analytica used credit card data and voter records, not Facebook data, to assess psychological profile).

Facebook has made difficult decisions with partial information that ended up proving to be suboptimal — but I don’t see when they have ignored either symptoms or criticism.
Is this ZOL tip or Linux specific? FWIW, the bug does not seem to reproduce on FreeBSD-current (r332158).

They're talking about malware, not exploits. It's a habit of the non-technical side of the industry and means 'this hash hasn't been seen before'. Given the phrasing -- "Apps" are "cyber fingerprinted", hashes are "crashed" -- I'd guess the post was written by a marketer or SE.

It's very difficult to get the various carriers and LECs to share information, so we mostly collect it post incident.

It's also sometimes difficult to get enough info to know that you've actually got diversity. Like, perhaps I have one line with Zayo, and one with Sprint. Confirmation that they don't share conduit is manual and tedious. Basically, we have to maintain all this info ourselves.
I'm guessing the overlap between linux sysadmins and linux users is much larger (not counting phones etc) than the overlap between windows sysadmins and windows users, though :)

It wasn’t a parameter but a trick.

This is a little fucked up:

You go through their rating game where you can rate people 1 to 5 stars.

(Optional): You rate everyone you find attractive five stars no matter how attractive because you’re going to need a way to differentiate later...

Go through and rate a bunch of ugly people four stars. A shit load.

When you get rated four stars or higher you get a notification. Those people usually come back and rate you. Hopefully four stars or higher.

So now you’ve crowd sourced ugly people to say you’re good looking but that ugly person is never going to get the feature turned on for them because nobody else is saying they’re good looking.

Now you show up to the hottest people and the hottest people show up to you.

I’ve done this a few times over the years with burner accounts to test it and new accounts just because I canceled an old one.

It takes a few hours of rating unattractive people. I usually just did it flipping through on the toilet for about a week.

If you don’t care about keeping track of the five star people you can just write a script to four or five star people at random And let it run overnight.
I'm clearly missing something: I don't understand why I schedule a session instead of just starting one. Do I need to be a user of the Music for Programming podcast to understand this?
