That is because unlike programming, chess nowadays does not utilize too many general skills. Good positional play for instance won't help you enough against an opponent who has memorized many patterns. This is why it was so easily tackled by computers compared to Go or more complex grand strategy games.

Programming is much closer to grand strategy than to rote pattern memorization, though there are patterns to be recognized in it.

Likewise performing music is a much broader subject than say just moving the pick across strings to a remembered melody. Even more so, composition.
No, that doesn't make any sense. If you're doing something in the US that makes you the subject of a FISA warrant and your data ends up overseas, the people who are after your data have a party. This is all, of course, far afield from 'typical case' anyway.

What happened is roughly this:
Pursuant a warrant, USG wanted something from Microsoft, Microsoft said it was on a server in Ireland and outside the reach of the warrant, USG and Microsoft went to court to sort it out. Meanwhile US Congress passed a law addressing situations like and mooting this case. That's it. In the grand scheme of things, this didn't really change anything.
I think that people who want software as a service, are probably happy with running the install script on Ubuntu and just treating everything as a black box.
Abusing Linux routing to preserve client IPs in L7 proxies – by spoofing IPs
There’s nothing to say a DSL can’t be a full language. Just that it is designed for and generally used in a specific domain. I don’t think MS ever intended or claimed F# would be the new C# - it is very clearly aimed at a particular niche. And there’s nothing wrong with that! Nor would any F# user see their language as a rival or competitor to C# or Python or Java or anything else.
You can, but it's not very effective.

It is important to point out that the quality of the data is not important. There is no such thing as dangerous vs harmless data, because that quality completely depends on the context.

So I usually give a context in which "harmless" data can be misused to build trust for scamming schemes (something, that most people, that do not care about data privacy, fear a lot as real threat). I look, for example, in the fb-timeline of my counterpart and immediately come up with a story, how I, as a stranger with scamming intentions, would ring their doorbell and tell some story why I need to enter the house or collect some money or the like, making myself believable with the information I collected from the social media sites. In the same way I describe how I would draft a spear phishing mail, pretending to be some member of the inner circle by using public information of that circle.

Finally I point them to the contradiction, that they ask their neighbour to empty the mailbox during their vacation, so nobody can see they are away, but then they provide a live-coverage of their trip in social media. Once they get the picture, that the burglar might not be walking down the streets looking for overflowing mailboxes but rather investigate his potential victims on facebook, they start to reconsider the "I have nothing to hide"-opinion.

The trick is to set the topic into a context that is comprehensible and likely. People can often not imagine how their average lives could be interesting for corporates and governments - it is a perceived unlikelyness on a deeper level: not only do they believe that corporates and governments would not misuse privacy data, they cannot even see why such a misuse could be of any value. In their perception, there is no misuse, because there is no reason for misuse.
This is mostly because solo violin does not teach enough coordination. Though concert performance practice may help with that it is still less involved. Performing sequentially compared to parallel.

Accordion is closer but still rarely uses polyphony.
+1 for the Microserfs reference!
Yeah, I 2nd that motion.
Well first remind them of the difference between secrecy and privacy:

"Hide? We all know what is done in the bathroom, yet we still close the door."

Then you might point out that it is not about them, but the worst of everyone else, globally. Worst in business ethics, willingness to influence, extent of tracking, or criminality to steal a pw database - it matters little as there's someone covering all of those options.

"Nothing to hide? What is your most unusual sexual fantasy, mother's maiden name, first pet, credit card PIN, FB and email password, SSN? I'll only mention them in one place online, delete after a day and pay back double what I spend."
Actually this was exactly what happened and surprised me. I was moving my blog out of GitHub Pages to a self-hosted solution, and it's only after switching DNS and generating the cert for my own server that I noticed that GH Pages was ALSO serving the old version of the blog over HTTPS.

I didn't know about LE revocation mechanism at the time.
I use this same example, and it works well.
You know back in the 1990's we had email and web browsers and MS office. We even had CAD software. All that stuff could run on a 200MHz Intel chip with 128-512M of RAM.

I wonder why people think it's OK that their daily use software is too big for a computer like this.
The issue is response time - if you go from a bright area to a dark one, you're stuck for 2-10 seconds (depending on quality of lens) of a very dark field of view.
I have pages on Netlify with their one-click SSL, and more than once the certificate has (here my ignorance becomes apparent) stopped working, breaking the site (since https is forced server-side and/or cached by browsers like Safari). To get the site up and running again I've needed to contact support and have them manually issue a new certificate.

Maybe this is way easier than handling things on my own, but it seems like an achilles heel of fully automated SSL.
Hi Nadya, thanks a lot for the feedback and taking the time to test and upload screenshots, I appreciate !

About your first comment (words you know not coming back often enough) I think it's because most of the datasets I've added are too large. For Hebrew (which is the language I'm trying to learn at the moment - and why I made this website in the first place) there are smaller libraries with 30-50 words and the experience is much better. One thing I can do in the future is add ways to select smaller subsets of a dataset of just a few dozen words and just "play" with those.

1. I agree, I just implemented that
2. I had not noticed that, thanks, will improve
3. Yeah that's a tough one. It works ok for some nouns and not great for some other words / prepositions / adjectives. I plan to build something on top of it where users can say if pictures are not relevant / not helping, or they can vote on good pictures, perhaps upload or create another mnemonic. Perhaps adding exemples of sentences in context could help as well.
4. Just fixed it!
They're asserting their trademark, using TM is legally impotent in the UK. Trademarks are trademarks, their legal status changes with registration when you get to use RTM.

Don't know if it works in other countries I assume it's different in USA, maybe affects damages?
Eight years ago I was on a commuter train from DC to Baltimore and a strange woman sat next to me and started asking all sorts of questions about the train and Baltimore. By strange, I meant that she was talking: no one talks on a commuter train, we're all zombies. Turns out she was from Venezuela and was visiting her young niece being treated at Johns Hopkins after being severely injured by a family pet down there.

Let that sink in for a moment. Child was injured in Venezuela, and Kaiser flew her all the way up to JH in Baltimore for treatment back in 2010. The Venezuelan family, obviously on the affluent side back in those days, had purchased a health insurance policy made available from Panama because they felt the socialized health care system run by Venezuela was grossly inadequate, and as they discovered, it was.

Fast forward to today and you have two major government-run systems collapsing beyond recovery. First one is oil- state income is beyond a systemic collapse: oil workers simply don't have enough calories to work the actual jobs. There had been a longstanding incentive to work in the oil field because there were oil cafeterias feeding the workers and they've now run out of supplies to sustain that. Now, oil workers are fleeing in unrecoverable numbers. Latest news here is that the military has taken over policing this function out of desperation. The second system is healthcare.

These are old articles (hospital one is two years old) but very germane to the discussion. Beyond a soft paywall, so open in incognito windows. Also steel yourself before looking at the photo gallery, as outdated as it is.

2: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/16/world/americas/dying-infa...

So what's happening now? Venezuela stopped paying its debts and is in default. Foreign embassies are closing and leaving the country due to instability. Official currency has cratered to a point of you needing a dump truck of cash to pay for a loaf of bread, if you can find it, so black market currencies are being used for transactions instead. Elites running the country are messaging that everything is fine and pitching some make-believe cryptocurrency tied to a physical oil barrel (which they won't be able to produce with the oil industry labor drain) as a way to save the country. Venezuelan citizens have fled in vast numbers (Colombia by way of Miami Herald alone estimates 600-800k, wiki entry has it at 4 million), and though that effect slowed the food crisis from worsening in mere places, overall effect is unstoppable because neighboring countries are tightening the borders. I didn't even get to mention rising violence and neighbors fighting over contents of garbage cans.

I just don't see how you can call this an exaggeration. Venezuelan government cronies couldn't squander the money fast enough fifteen years ago, and here's the end-result of their mismanagement.
>> Compare this to number theory, where every interesting extant problem appears to require ten years study.

I don't often come here to comment but as someone in progress on an original research masters in number theory I can say this is utter bullshit. I assume your 'interesting' qualification (somehow) excludes obvious candidates like Landau's problems [0]. Some examples. I was taught about the ABC conjecture as an undergrad. You can easily teach the Brun sieve [1] method of working out that the sum of the reciprocal of the twin primes converges. Novel solutions to Diophantine problems are sometimes accessible to undergrads. Richard K. Guy wrote a whole book on unsolved problems in NT, some of which have been solved using undergraduate number theory and someone's upper bound you can just use (as easy as apt-get installing this_dope_bound). You can start reading papers without a PhD, never mind ten years of study. I think it's possible to get an utterly unrepresentative sample of either field by only sticking to "elementary" results. There are some extraordinarily subtle results in graph theory! Conversely, you can find NT problems amenable to elementary techniques [2].

I think those low offers were typical in the days of the separate entrance exam. I took the (4th term) undergraduate entrance exam for Oxford. When I got the telegram "not required for interview at Oxford" I thought I had failed. But then got accepted with an EE offer (two minimum-pass E grades at A-level) without the need for an interview.
Re “rich white kid”

I understand being rich is relevant to this conversation.

But how is him being white relevant? You seem to imply that a white persons accomplishments are less meaningful, solely because they are white.

This feels like casual racism to me, which I don’t think should be acceptable in this type of discussion.
I'm not sure I agree with your point about COBOL developers, though I do agree with your larger point about C. The reason that COBOL developers get big bucks today is because so few of them remain. During the late-80s and the '90s, there were massive layoffs that decimated the COBOL job market. The developers earning big bucks today doing COBOL doing today are the ones that survived those layoffs, not your "typical" COBOL developer. I would wager that the median COBOL developer either transitioned into management, out of the industry or is working in a completely different language today.
I'm curious about your claim that GI is hard to define (true) and measure (not true?).

GI is whatever the standard iq test measures. Higher numbers seem to correlate with better outcomes in certain settings. Right? What's controversial about that?
I don't think it's a major problem, but it does violate the Principle of least astonishment, which I think we (developers) should strive to avoid.
Totally fine with it.
Giges parabole (platon) is about the fact that no morality can exists without the look of the others (hero finds a ring that makes you invisible and then kills, steals, rapes).

But, if powerful persons do force this on the population then I demand that they also live by the same rules.

Power is making other do what others cannot make you do.

So I wait for the bless day we all can leave in an house of glass, but this will happen only the day the leaders will show the example. Else, we would be in the situation of the panopticon (prison) were we all can be scrutinized but the guardians.

But who will guard us from the guardians?

Turning by leaning only works at all because when you lean it causes the handlebars to countersteer.

To prove it, lock your handlebars so that they can only point straight forwards, and then see how easy it is to steer. It's practically impossible.
Latest update on the general idea was somewhere in 80s with the advent of polyphonic multitimbre keyboard synthesizers.
Software development scales poorly. This was noted a long time ago, an I’ve not seen anything that fundamentally falsifies the Fred Brooks view. So to make the expected cost of software lower, shouldn’t we be looking to smaller-scale, more individualistic ways of working?
Ask them:

"Why are you wearing pants? Are you hiding some kind of grotesque deformation under there?"

Then tell them they can be a data-nudist if they really want to, but that's not how you like doing things.
This is false. There are third parties specialised in getting you compliant if you're unsure what to to - you can send your (legal/technical) questions to them and they answer you.

It still baffles me to this day that people just lie/spread misinformation on the internet (yes, there is a relevant XKCD for this) yet here we are.
Where is the difference between BSD pf and Linux BPF implementation? eBPF aside
Southwest has 511 737-700s (what 1380 was), and 712 planes total. Ryanair only uses 737-800s, and has "over 300 aircraft in operation"[0]. Close, but still different. Ryanair operates ~600k flights yearly to Southwest's ~1.25 million.

The math gets pretty bad when you try to average all that out but if you ignore that and do it anyway (science!) then you get 1,743 yearly flights per plane for Southwest and 1,503-1,993 for Ryanair (fleet size of 301-399 respectively). So they're likely very comparable, which makes sense because neither airline could likely afford to have its planes sitting around idle for any more than absolutely necessary.

AFAIK there's no special provisions in the language for quant trading to categorize it into DSL. More along the lines of Lisp being touted as "AI language" in 1980s, while it's really a general purpose programming language.
Do you have a reference expanding on that? I was just reading up on BPF/eBPF the other day (https://lwn.net/Articles/740157/) and (https://qmonnet.github.io/whirl-offload/2016/09/01/dive-into...).

From both of those I gathered that, with reference to Linux, BPF == eBPF, with the older implementation (cBPF) being deprecated.

So as the linked article is about Linux, I thought that in this case BPF == eBPF
It appears that that "een pinpas" is a form of a debit card, though not all debit cards work:

> Credit card use in the Netherlands is very low, and most credit cards cannot be used with EFTPOS, or charge very high fees to the customer. Debit cards can often, though not always, be used in the entire EU for EFTPOS. Most debit cards are Mastercard Maestro cards. Visa's V Pay cards are also accepted at most locations.

eg. an American Express debit card (or anything else that is not one of the above) won't work at an Albert Heijn or anywhere else.
Assuming the same height/width proportions, it would have (11/7)^2 = 2.47 times the area. Quite a bit bigger.

The steering geometry is exactly the same.

The only time you steer left to go left is if you're going so slowly that the only reason the bike doesn't fall over is because of your near-superhuman balance. That is to say, when you're practically at a standstill. Anywhere approaching walking pace or above, if you try to turn left by steering left, you'll fall off the right hand side before you make any appreciable turn.
a completely honest question, what's wrong with recommending a product without mentioning if we're affiliated or not with that product?
It's a good thing for business, yes, but there are a lot of ethical implications surrounding socioeconomic/behavioural predictions.

how can you dismiss someone's success as due to it?

I don't think it's being dismissed as due to it, so much as it's acknowledging the near-necessity of it to attain success.

Gates went to a high school where the parents pooled money in order to buy mainframe time for their kids. Gates was seeing a therapist, which helped him focus and mature faster. He had the support to start a fairly wild venture with a friend.

Gates is incredibly intelligent, focused, disciplined, and was in the right place at the right time.

If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't have succeeded. Not because I lacked the resources, but because I'd have found the idea of writing a BASIC interpreter to be boring and wouldn't have seen it through. But I also probably wouldn't have had access to the technology necessary in the first place...
Back in the day I could easily ride a bicycle without using my hands from the start with just one or two pedal stroke. I believe riding a backwards bicycle would have been easier if you dont use your hands.

Talk to Ioannis Ikonomou who's considered to be good at 32 languages and has cursory knowledge of a few more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioannis_Ikonomou

He's even a certified Chinese translator, and that was one of the later languages he learned.

I think you'll be surprised if you go to Europe how many people you'll find who can do a bit more than order coffee in at least 5 languages.
I was facetiously trying to point out the irony in your statement. I should have added a ;) .
This is in my opinion the best answer.

You want something that causes a visceral reaction, not rational arguments.

The more disgust, fear, awkwardness you can cause with your action, the clearer the message you get across.
You can also go the other way around. It'd may require unlearning habits and be harder that way.

I think getting at least some depth when starting is necessary. Otherwise your skill is not usable.
Sounds like they just have a poor auto-TLS infrastructure. A good system will (1) try to generate multiple times ahead of expiration and (2) warn humans if the cert is about to expire.
I don't think the analogy sticks perfectly unfortunately.

I might still care about freedom of speech for the freedom of others which I value. I may not agree that I find value, assuming I have nothing to hide, in other people's privacy.

Not taking a position on privacy here, I'm just stating the analogy doesn't stick.

In general, SBC SOCs require customizations due to (at least) bootloader and blobs. On top of those, there are typically other patches to expose various functionalities (eg. cooling).

There's surprising little information about 64-bit SBC O/S. It's possible that 64 bits don't give so much performance improvement, or that they increase the power consumption - not sure. It seems that nobody really took the time (and distro...) to do an accurate comparison.

Having said that, curiously, SUSE actually produced a 64-bit distro (https://www.suse.com/c/suse-linux-enterprise-server-raspberr...), due to them already having an ARM distribution. I'll actually try it at some point - I'm very curious. More direct download link: https://www.suse.com/de-de/products/arm/raspberry-pi/

Why would airport security care about your reasoning? They don't need a warrant when you're still outside the border, and they most likely are not in a position to bargain with you on what they may and may not do — and they probably won't respond favourably to any attempt to do so.
Would they be fine with random dude sitting in their kitchen watching them cook and what they put into fridge and take from it? Would they be fine with that dude watching their spouse, friends and kids too?

Besides all the analogies you have the right to privacy. Nobody should violate it just as nobody should violate your freedom, etc.
