I can't find the links right now, but is this the same typewriter that was ripped quite badly in the media some months ago (I believe it was on kickstarter, or similar)?
I find Siestas the absolute worst thing possible for my sleep schedule. Even 20 minutes of noon naps completely nuke my sleep schedule and it takes days to make it normal again. I actually tried Siestas pretty hard for at least 2 years when my insomnia was worst, but eventually I realized without naps my sleep schedule is much more predictable.
I'm not convinced this project will do better than OLPC did, and that had a lot of credible backing and resources.
Edit: I just remembered that WebAssembly has JavaScript based polyfills. Disabling WebAssembly does not do me much good, as it will still run. I will leave my original comment below to remain a frame of reference for replies, but they are based on a flawed thought process of mine.

---

I have yet to see a real reason for browsers to enable WebAssembly with out at least a permission dialog like location services, alerts, flash, etc. The only thing I have heard that uses the feature is the CryptoCurrency miner mentioned in the article and some random demos released by Mozilla.

First thing I am doing when I get back to my laptop is finding where the hidden flag to disable WebAssembly is in Firefox and Chrome, as an ad blocker can only go so far with blocking this. I could be very wrong, but I see noting but potential for abuse. If I run across a legitimate use case, I can re-enable the feature on demand.

Edit: https://github.com/stevespringett/disable-webassembly/blob/m...

Seems like disabling the feature is a difficult task in all browsers that have WebAssembly except Firefox.
DivANS author here: the compression benchmarks all measure seekability to the nearest 4MB chunk, but the current lib itself doesn't support seekability out of the box, yet. However, it would be trivial to reset the encoder at each 4mb chunk and could even be done without additional library support by just reinitializing the compressor (or decompressor) each 4mb

Air tickets are significantly cheaper in NY than ruralish areas in my experience
Of course, but usually one of the companies is interested in offensive purposes, which is why you need a large library for defensive purposes.

Are you listening to SF2 Turbo instead of the CPS1-based SF 2 World Warrior? Probably doing the SNES a bit of a disservice since I'm pretty sure it just reuses the original World Warrior music. Which was also re-arranged for the SNES but those two are a fair bit closer. I'd imagine for the SNES ports, the arrangers had to deal not just with the more limited sound hardware but also the fact that the whole thing had to look and sound decent on everything starting from a crappy tv with a tiny speaker and up.
If you hate snow, stay away. Winters are usually bad for at least 2-4 weeks sometimes much more. Weather constantly changes and can be unpredictable. Chicago is the same.

I was born here so I am fine but I have met SE Asian, Indian and Japanese people here who were kind of miserable. But you get used to it after a while.
It sounds like you need an Imperial Walker instead.

We can sell you some lightly used units from our last imperial war. They have excellent maintenance records. And comes with a 5 year, or 50,000 mile warranty, whichever comes first.

I've thought about that a lot (I'm pro open-borders). I think we should get rid of income taxes, instead move to consumption taxes (money out is taxed) examples: Paying for anything: Rent, Food, Wages, Shareholders/Dividends, Estate transfer, Boats, Trains, Planes, etc... If you exchange money for ANYTHING it's taxed on the payers' side of the transaction. -- Then create a fair-id system so every citizen has an id, if you go to the store and forget your id you pay 15% sales tax, if you have your id you pay 4%.

This would immediately make non-documented people and visitors with greencards pay a lot of taxes. It's their choice if they want to stay/pay or go and not-pay their share, but the republicans can stop whining about immigrants not paying their fair share if they pay 3 times the sales tax.
A more modular package brings a variety of benefits. Small chips are cheaper per unit area, because yields are higher. Reuse in different products can also lower development costs. Different IP can live on the most appropriate technology node- mature & cheap, new & fast, etc. IP can be developed on different schedules. IP from completely different companies can be integrated more easily. (see the intel-AMD partnership, it's "chiplet")

It's really not that complicated an idea- modular packages are more flexible! What's new is making it work within a compelling power, price, and performance envelope.

This is something I sometimes think about. My parents were pretty strict and emphasized education but were not "tiger parent" strict. I did pretty well in school but not "straight-A valedictorian" well. I'm out of college now with a job at the big 5 but I wonder where I would be had I studied harder in school and gotten into a better college. And would I be "happier"?
Programs and proofs are not actually equivalent. The Curry-Howard correspondence is only concerned with the types. If you take a useful program and replace every function with another of the same type, the program is now pointless but still corresponds to the same proof. And unless you're explicitly trying to encode mathematical statements into the type system, that proof is likely to only show something trivial like "there is an integer".

The browser developers are fully aware of Spectre and Meltdown.
This is pure baseless speculation.
How would you phrase the permission dialog? In a paranoid browser targeted at security nerds, I can see it making sense, but how would you explain what WebAssembly is and what the risks are to someone who hasn't heard of it and doesn't have a good sense of what JavaScript is?

Also, what do you believe the risks are for you? (Do you find that website convincing? I don't think any of those arguments make sense, so I'm happy to argue against them if you do.) And how do those risks compare to JavaScript itself (including asm.js, or a wasm polyfill)?
No, I'm not involved. Can't tell you unfortunately.
Microsoft’s .NET languages and the CLR do this. You can even use IronScheme so you’ll have a Lisp with a ton of libraries.
The US military has divisions that specialize in "foresty mountainous terrain". There are parts of the world (and US) that are effectively inaccessible to any mechanized units and the US military has large combat units that are setup to operate effectively in those environments. Terrain that is prohibitive to mechanized units is traditionally the domain of "light infantry" divisions (e.g. 10th Mountain Division), distinct from mechanized infantry divisions.

The US military has dedicated units and training facilities for virtually every environment on Earth.
Yes, I’m sure tickets to SFO to Asia are often cheaper than from Grand Rapids or even Detroit.
Would you be willing to go into some more detail on how it works? I use Sonarr and Hydra2 with a handful of private indexers and for most TV its the perfect solution.. but for anime it's the pits. For whatever reason the anime ripper scene seems to be actively resistant to this sort of automation.
I'd be curious to know ballpark cost (and in which state just for cost of living).

My biggest concern with letting a stranger into the home is theft/trust issues. While I'm sure most people have a good experience and I'm sure you can find a company that background checks, it is more personal paranoia (and it isn't cleaners in particular, I don't like leaving any strangers alone around the house).
I think you missed my point, so I'll explain another way because I think it's important to make.

If you look at the TCP packet, bits 16-31 are constant for all HTTP traffic. Because they are a fixed value, they're wasted (non-unique). With the current system, we can only have 2,147,483,647 web servers.

Using SRV records, these bits become distinguishable, giving us 281,474,976,710,656 possible addresses for web servers.

[Yes this is an oversimplification for the pedantic]
Easy solution to all this. End income taxes. Make consumption tax + national id system. With id you pay 4%, without you pay 15-20%. Make the consumption tax be on everything : Wages, Rent, Mortgage, Food, etc... if you spend money on something it's taxed at the point of payment. - By wages - I mean the company pays the tax. If a person or company pays money or exchanges money it's taxed. Shareholder dividends, CEO bonuses, all taxed.

You could then fund a guaranteed basic income (for citizens only), and just adjust the sales/tax yearly to balance the budget-- everyone pays taxes, no deductions are given, but GBI would guarantee people wouldn't live in poverty at all. It'd be easier to manage technically so we could dismantle welfare and handout programs as well as the IRS.
It's largely about who gets to control the narrative. If you give a quote to a journalist, they control the narrative - they can choose how to piece it together with other quotes, and where to put it in the article, and how to spin it, and with what emotional tone. If you say "no comment" to the journalist and then post your own version of the narrative on your blog later, you control the narrative from start to finish.
The problem with slow cookers is that the chop a bunch of stuff up, toss them in the slow cooker, and turn it on approach doesn't work all that well. You generally want to brown things etc.--and then you're not gaining that much. But, then, I'm mostly not a huge fan of stews in general.

The state of the art in data compression most often involves squeezing out a few extra percent. Entropy encoding is essentially a solved problem from a theoretical standpoint. Aside from runtime speed and so forth, the real gains come from better modeling, which is an unsolvable problem.

For anyone who wants a great primer on the topic:
http://mattmahoney.net/dc/dce.html

"Compression = modeling + coding. Coding is a solved problem. Modeling is provably not solvable."

I don't think splitting compression into subproblems is particularly novel. It sounds like something PAQ has been doing for quite some time and the Fairytale project seems to be somewhat similar to this one. But don't quote me!

Many data compression geniuses hang out here, btw: https://encode.ru

If you really want to get into this topic, a good read is "Information Theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms" by David J. C. MacKay. Mr. MacKay does a superb job of explaining every facet of this topic.

Edit: in my excited rambling I don't think I addressed your question. The impression that I got was that this represents a fast implementation of ANS coupled with better modeling, in a framework that makes it easier to experiment with transformations and other algorithms in the pipeline. The author stopped by, so maybe they can correct me.
You can emulate a user driven browser using a headless instance of Chrome. Look up some “chromedriver” tutorials. Hooks together nicely with Selenium.

Great job.

Only question I'd have is: Could this go wrong e.g. if you were away (and she knew it) but the bot continued. Also typically aren't good morning texts followed by light follow-up conversation?
Glad to be the first to say here, this is fantastic! I'm going to give it a little go later this evening. Seems interesting!
I disagree that 128 bits is overkill. Most networks are devided between 64bits for public routing, and 64bits for internal routing.

The network space is huge, but segmented. At each branch of the network, you reduce your addressable space significantly.

When you think of the future, and huge interconnected small devices, I don’t think 128 bits are going to seem excessive.

Remember, when they came up with 32bits for IPv4, they were not planning for a computer (or multiple!) in your pocket that was going to be network routable.
clojure now reaches jvm, js, a stored procedure language inside a database, (apparently also CLR but i haven’t tried it) and you can target them all with the same portable code, and they have a compatible value interchange format (like JSON) which reaches many more foreign platforms. our prod codebase at http://hyperfiddle.net is portable clojure and runs on all above listed platforms, with seamless foreign interop for any native functionality, we have dozens of NPM dependencies for our browser client (seamless enough interop that we actually prefer npm libs over clojurescript libs as they tend to be more mature)

the main thing is the data structures need to be compatible, any value you have on one platform needs to be instantiable on all the others, that is the only way to have the libraries call into each other without impedance. the value notation is called EDN and the value interchange mechanic (that manufactures platform
specific value instances) is called Transit.

Clojure has a pretty cool network effect if you ask me

I just have someone come every few weeks; she's been cleaning for my neighbor forever (in MA). $100 for a few hours work. It doesn't really handle day-to-day housework but it ensures things get dusted and vacuumed before they get too bad. She isn't nearby but a lot of people get someone local for $30/hr. for cleaning, dog-walking, etc. Not for everyone, but it's not rare.

I have a separate service do my lawn for about $60 every 2 weeks or so.

Gtk became "the default" because Qt had some dual licensing weirdness until qt3/qt4 (I didn't pay that much attention so don't quote me) and by that time several fundamental projects like Firefox, gimp(of course) and OpenOffice (koffice took until like ~09 to get production ready) had established gtk as the primary Linux toolkit

Gnome just follows on because the gtk team is a very purple Venn diagram with the gnome team (at least for paid developers)

I often encounter engineering managers who make appeals to the business, as a way to sidestep their accountability to a direct internal customer. Mainly in orgs transitioning from waterfall to iterative, so I hope you will forgive any excessive skepticism.

I've found that either engineering can iterate to find fit, or product can iterate to find fit. If both are iterating to find fit, without either vision or direction, the wheels will and do come off. Architecture provides that direction for engineering if Product is still figuring out market fit.

If Product has fit (even customer traction), engineering can iterate its way forward. The alternative is "game of aeron chairs," where everyone is competing to hitch their wagon to the most prestigious customer they can to drive their internal pet initiatives.

When you deal with security, and in particular cryptography without a clear architecture, you are taking on risk of being spike-stripped because you aren't playing at an enterprise level.

Architecture isn't compliance, it's design, so it's not about best-practices and exogenous check boxes - it's about building something with an eye to maintainability, market fit, and stakeholder acceptance.

I do think the Lean approach with validated learning over iterations is very useful. I also think Agile is applicable in a lot of development. What iterative development has not figured out in general is how to integrate security for complex solutions, and these days security and privacy are the dealbreakers.

So here I will admit one bias, because instead of merely grinding an axe I figured I would bet the farm on a solution to this precise problem of how to do security in iterative development environments, where the value of architects and security analysts has been marginalized by a fundamental change in development culture.

Hustling on an MVP isn't bad at all, but with new freedom comes some anti-patterns that it would be to the benefit of all to articulate and recognize.

I like the idea of open borders, guaranteed basic income (only for citizens), getting rid of income taxes, making all citizens pay a national sales tax instead (gbi would offset some of this), having a national id (with id you save 10-15% on sales tax without you pay a lot more, say 4-5% for citizens, 15-20% for migrants/travelers from abroad). -- This would make immigrants legal or not pay 3x the taxes, and I think a lot more people would be fine with that.

Sales tax would be more of a consumption/outbound tax -- all outbound expenses would be taxed if you buy or pay anyone it's taxed on payers side. So example a company pays wages they pay a sales tax on the wage, they buy office supplies, pay dividend to shareholders, pay ceo a bonus or golden parachute, buy land, etc... People would be taxed for paying rent, buying food, buying houses, buying land, etc.. on the purchase/exchange of money.

GBI would paid out to all citizens and sales tax could be adjusted yearly to balance the budget if there's a surplus/deficit from previous year.

Welfare/IRS can be dismantled completely and everything automated via technology. Saving billions. We'd need a lot less accountants, and tax workers. Tax software for consumers wouldn't be needed, etc.. It'd shore up a glut of industry we don't need.
Unless you're using yourself as a proxy for others, the question isn't whether you'd be happier, but whether a population engaging in a parenting style would render more desired results.

I do believe in the value of an educated populace not just for jobs, but for democratic and civic strength.
FWIW, changing to "Desktop mode" fixed it for me on Android.
Webassembly is a runtime not a feature like location services, that would make as much sense as prompting the user for whether JS should be enabled every time a page loads.

Webassembly is relatively new, but expect many websites to start implementing newer client front-ends in wasm as opposed to JS in the nearish future, at least partially. Disabling it would only make sense if you also intend to disable JS, which is your choice but just makes your life harder =P
The thing is, 99.999999% of the time (and I'm probably missing a few 9's) the engine does exactly the most optimal thing.

However, database engines aren't perfect -- I know I've encountered bugs in older SQL server versions where the query never finishes but making some trivial adjustments fixes it. This is a bug. And most mailing lists are filled with people encountering bugs. Saying what you want and getting the best result is exactly what you should expect.
Yeah, I think if you allow JS at all then WebAssembly isn't really adding much risk.
Sounds like you need to change the password on your WiFi.
In theory, yeah. I actually did try Selenium and Chrome several months or maybe a ~year ago. I don't remember exactly what the pain points were but I remember it was really painful to figure out how to get it to work. Everything from figuring out how to inject JS into a page to figuring out how to wait for events, etc. it was just a massive pain. I don't think I ever figured it out entirely.
Hi Sergz! I'm building something similar for Chinese, https://pingtype.github.io - there are a lot more letters to deal with over here. Do you have a link to your code?
It's just so sad that they aren't exactly friendly towards homebrew. It would be a perfect gaming device I would buy with no hesitation - instead, I have no idea now if they'll ban me from using their services for using GNU/Linux if I decide to buy it.
> Funerals can be skipped due to...

Without a doubt this happens all too often. I've seen less reluctance when it comes to funerals than other life events, especially if one side of the grudge is laying in the casket. For all of the fostering of connections technology has afforded us, I find it ironic that sometimes the technology drives grudges deeper and longer than if the parties know that this meeting might be the very last they ever see each other because that trans-Atlantic trip is one-way.

Followers are people that have not yet become pioneers. A pioneer (or group of them) needs mastery of the various tradecrafts associated with their interest. If you consider that Lewis and Clark were pioneers then before their big trek they had mastered most of the essential survival skills needed in order to make the voyage. It may be worth noting that historically, pioneers are the people that followed the frontiersmen, so they were followers in the true sense of the word. But nowadays it seems that we use pioneer to mean someone pushing the boundaries, making discoveries...
