Copyright is not created by the Constitution. The ability to create and enforce copyright is created by the Constitution.
I love this approach and analogy. You're absolutely right: it's incredibly hard/impossible to _not_ make assumptions when you're part of the herd.

I'd like to think there can be enormous payoffs to this kind of careful thinking, but I suspect it pays out sporadically and sometimes not at all. Such is the fate of any outlier or pioneer.

Either way, traveling "in the ditch" means you get a lot of weird looks from people cruising by on the latest bandwagon. :-)
I used to manage a video rental store in Australia. Can't say anything abiut the credit report thing, that's just rediculious.

With regards to the $200 each movie, it's like that because they want you to do what you did and go somewhere else to buy it. They can't tell you that directly though because it's walking the line copyright wise.

Not sure about the US but here in Australia you have to buy the media from a licenced studio distributer (Always costs at least $10 more than kmart or target) for it to be allowed to be rented. By getting you to go out and get the movie they don't change the asset ID in their system and no one is any the wiser.
This is a good history lesson on why UB was introduced, but times have changed and it is definitely not justifiable today.

Saving one instruction was probably worth it in the 70s, when security wasn't a thing, but it definitely isn't now.

Julian Assange does many things that seem to have the sole purpose of embarrassing the US. I don't see how he could be a candidate for any type of award from the US government. Any benefit Wikileaks has had on the US, primarily by helping spark a debate about domestic surveillance, is overshadowed by the harm they've done due to his radical anti-secrecy zealotry.

Take the Vault 7 releases for example. What was the public good done by that information being published? Those are our weapons, in my eyes it is not much different than if Wikileaks had published the blueprints for the F-35. There is a legitimate interest in the US having secrets, and there is an interest in our global adversaries not having them.

At least with the diplomatic cables and the DNC emails, there was some amount of public interest information in there, but why dump the whole set? To embarrass the US, and in the latter case, to affect the election. Are those noble goals worthy of the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

As for his personal character, recall two things: he screwed over his supporters by jumping bail in England, and he reneged on a pledged to acquiesce to extradition if Manning was released. These are not the actions of a hero to be celebrated, they're selfish and dishonorable.
It's Intel's page about Power Gadget. Its title 'Intel Power Gadget' is not at all misleading. When you click on it, you don't end up on a page about beekeeping.
I'm so glad I'm in a field (academia) that doesn't really use linkedin.
Assange has had a very clear agenda for some time now.

I thought his agenda was exposing privacy violations and the implications for authoritarian snooping without cause.

But it smells like you wanted to say something else and ran out of time while writing that comment?
I think the issue is that for most languages you have to update the libraries with the new constants for bit-wise operations and not for the string approach. Some languages would be fine, but this is multi-language in the end.
Rust has it right here: don't allow undefined behavior and make the programmer specify the behavior they want.

If they want wrapping overflow, fine. If they don't, great.

What if I know overflow can't happen (e.g. I have an integer counting from 1 to 10)? How do I say "it doesn't matter how you handle overflow; just do whatever is fastest"?
This. GV is like a LinkedIn virus, really annoying. Also the guy is like the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, getting rich by selling advise on how they got rich, which is all pretty much useless for others (or at least very disingenuous)
Looking at the video, it seems like the answer to the problem would have been to have a lip on both sides of the slide and have a part of the raft go under that lip at the top of the slide. Then it would have been physically impossible for the raft to ever leave the slide until it reached the bottom, regardless of any negative g-forces or the weight of the riders. They could have ditched the netting altogether, and made it a far safer, scarier ride.

The mind boggling part is that the netting system worked as designed, but the design was such that the riders of any airborne raft would be going into it head-first. That should have been obvious to anyone the moment it was even proposed as a solution to airborne rafts. They created a system where serious head/face/neck injuries were inevitable.
Reminds me of the Ryan Is Driving YouTube channel from Charleston: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKhK5Ysw9DpHNNEVSAu0yIA

Speed and convenience.

People who get snarky about Uber/Facebook/etc. users don't seem to realize that these things have very real utility for millions of people. We don't just use them because we're too stupid to know better. If you want to address their (very real, glaring) problems, you'll need to offer an equally-useful alternative, not just smug moralizing.
Forgive me if you've already heard this a lot, but Slackware is often described as being a very "BSD-like" Linux and might be another way to get some of the philosophy you're seeking.

The parasite evolved to attack dogs, unfortunately, so there 500 cases of dracunculiasis in dogs were reported in Chad in 2015. So there's a new reservoir. Still, there is hope.
A crate that I wrote, encoding_rs uses unsafe for performance purposes (probably a bit more than absolutely necessary). I'd be very unhappy if unsafe compiled to slower code. The unsafe bits intermingle with safe Rust to such a degree that having to write them in C would make me very unhappy.

For the curious, the performance uses of unsafe in encoding_rs are roughly in these categories:

- Omitting Unicode correctness checks (i.e. asserting that output is correct without having the standard library re-check; Unicode correctness is part of the core competence of the crate).

- Viewing buffers of u8 or u16 as buffers of usize.

- Viewing buffers of u8 or u16 as SIMD register-sized units.

- Omitting bound checks where the compiler fails to elide them and it matters for performance, especially where the performance difference matters for competitiveness with C++.

- Reinterpreting SIMD registers in a different lane configuration. (Exposes endianness but otherwise actually safe.)

- Calling intrinsics that don't really have anything unsafe about them except that Rust makes intrinsics categorically unsafe instead of deciding on a case by case basis if they need to be unsafe.

Of these, viewing buffers as buffers of ALU or SIMD register-sized units are the only cases that come near strict aliasing and could be trouble if the compiler felt eligible to reorder writes of (in the C sense) incompatible types relative to each other on the assumption that buffers of different types are disjoint.
I used what I learned in my linear programming class (i.e. optimizations of a linear function under a system of linear constraints) not too long ago to solve a problem involving multiple non-trivial constraints.

Also, CS is different from programming, just like Math is different from bulding a house.

I am not sure if providing benefits would offset the temptation to earn 3.5k extra income. Case in point, This guy is an army vet so presumably he already has health benefits.

non citizen population need benefits too.
> If getting a state-issued picture ID was free, easy, and convenient

I agree this is inadequately discussed/addressed.

It might still be remarkably expensive overall to implement, but voter IDs could be handled at the local level, as voter registration often is, with similarly lightweight documentation requirements. Ideally, registration and ID application/issuance (for the next election) would be mandated for every polling place.

It could have the added benefit of being an additional/secondary piece of identification (technically even government-issued), something that can be out of reach of someone low on income and/or time, even once they've obtained the state ID.
I don't see any data about productivity or revenue. In fact, some of the reports seem to say the benefits came from excitement about participating in the experiment itself.

This was one experiment at one company over 2 months. Now, they have to go to the board of directors and ask if they want to extend it permanently.

It would be against the self-interest of the investors to extend something simply based on worker happiness if it doesn't increase revenue.

At least in my situation, with no additional configuration, --inspect-brk works, but when it's paused at the start, I can't navigate to any of my files to set breakpoints, so the most straightforward way to set a breakpoint is a `debugger;` statement in the code. I guess that's one of the things that works better in ndb: "You can place breakpoints before the modules are required".
I changed my privacy settings set on LinkedIn so that no one could see my connections after I started noticing that many recruiters sending invitations were already connected to other people I know or have as a contact otherwise. I strongly suspect some of these recruiters just want to add you for the sake of having access to your contacts lists in order to have more people to connect with.

I don't usually accept requests from recruiters, either. In fact I had this for a while as my first sentence in my profile page and that didn't stop them from sending requests. That signals me they don't bother checking your profile first, either.

Apart of maintaining my vanity URL, I don't even know why do I still have a LinkedIn account; I just don't find it very useful.

How tiny Liechtenstein aims to become a big player in blockchain
The worst are the nets and semicircular loops to which the nets are attached [1]. To me it is obvious that if you go airborne on the second hill (that has these nets, too), you will drag the net with you – it might as well not even exist. All that remains to keep you inside is the metal loops. Well, you are now flying through a cheese grater.

Uber driver has put video of hundreds of passengers online. Most have no idea
Very sad news.
Yeah I have, but that happened 1 or 2 decades ago so take it with a grain of salt.

NetBSD's strength is portability (or "ports" not to be confused with FreeBSD's ports collection). So any software written for it, is going to have portability in high regard. If you don't want to live in a monolithic world (example: the PC world went towards x86-32 in 90s, then shifted away to AMD64. ARM/ARM64 are market leader in embedded industry, though MIPS is also still being used) and if you believe in postmarket options (devices shipped with proprietary firmware/OS) though Linux is also strong in that regard. If you like RISC-V existence, software such as NetBSD helps its existence.

Yes, I had hardware on which of recent software basically only NetBSD ran on, or maybe a (broken/outdated) proprietary OS, or "Linux" (but some vague old port, or requiring patches, blahblah). It could be old/ancient hardware, proprietary firmware, obscure hardware. I ran NetBSD for example on Sharp Zaurus, various SGI MIPS (some of which Linux worked less good or not at all on), DEC Alpha (at least a DS10L), and various Sun hardware. The orig. Sharp Zaurus firmware for that specific Zaurus was in Japanese, and the OpenBSD port I couldn't get to work. So I experimented with a lot of alternative firmware, mostly based on Linux.

Back then the package management was slightly different than the other two popular BSDs. They work together a lot, but there's also fractures. For example, FreeBSD and NetBSD don't have unveil, but they do have PF these days. ZFS has been stable on FreeBSD for ages, yet on OpenBSD it isn't available and on NetBSD its only in -CURRENT. Another difference could be amount of binary packages available, or amount of packages/ports (terminology differs per *BSD).

Another choice could be that the BSD license is more attractive than the more strict Linux-related licenses such as GPLv2 or GPLv3.

So yeah, in short, strong focus points of the 3 major BSDs:

Popularity (amount of software, size of community): FreeBSD
Security: OpenBSD
Portability: NetBSD
DragonFly: I've never used this, ever. Can only speculate. I mean, I'm not sure the orig. focus still matters.

The War on Soy Milk
With the difference that by the admission of the "CEO of advertising company" we now know that the company has enabled foreign actors to manipulate the opinion in favor of "winner".

That makes an important distinction compared to "all major US candidates".

So you see, when the boss of "Advertising 'R Us" calls me to congratulate me on my promotion it is not newsworthy.
It is when the POTUS is congratulated by the very same person who later admits his company allowed foreign powers to influence the election of said POTUS, and for the same type of actions that were later attributed to those foreign powers.

It's how the news work.
Am also evaluating migrating to chrome for all development. Currently using a re-purposed core-i5 work laptop, that boots lubuntu into ram. Runs vs code quite spiffily. As well as standard lxterm. And a complementary ubuntu micro instance that has been on forever on gcloud ;)

ChromeOS supports Linux via a custom container or VM. So you have access to all ChromeOS APIs. I assume virtualized graphics hardware will be accessible as well. Android Studio with device debugging bridge should also be available shortly. As will the ability to run most apk binaries.

Main concern is probably in choosing a 64-bit ARM based laptop. Such as the hexacore Samsung model. Eventually I can foresee running into a portability issue. Perhaps with a library dependency. Or digital content creation tools such as Blender or Adobe. Will always have a cloud instance or backup gaming laptop running Win10 to fall back on. But for mobile development and meetings in cafes, I think it will prove ideal.

"I know sorting algorithms so intimately that I know to not reach for the built in .sort() when the array is already 99% sorted"

Built-ins are made to work well on the most common case. Often, you can use domain knowledge to come up with better solutions. But you need to know how common sorting algorithms work to understand if and when that domain knowledge can be used to speed up your program.
I’m thinking of things like it being UB to modify a reader literal because the reader is allowed to do things like tail sharing.

The BSD organizations of today are more about researchers making an operating system for OS research as a field and less hacker idealists trying to bring a free OS to the people. Nearly all of the latter people go to Linux these days.
The Importance of SEO for Small Businesses
From an engineering viewpoint, one thing that jumps out to me at least, is that "100,000 people including many kids" had already ridden when this sad accident happened.

In terms of real-world testing, not even 100,000 tests (or maybe ~33,300 if each raft had 3 people on it) exposed the problem.

<Do you buy illicit goods on Tor?>
At a previous job, we got so annoyed with recruiters that we decided to create a honeypot account - fake LinkedIn, fake Github, fake Twitter, everything. We took the first picture off of Google for "bro" as the profile picture.

For his Github, we just forked popular projects like jQuery and then ctrl+f replaced the name with his first name, like "bradQuery".

Surprisingly, we had many recruiters contact us about the popular "bradQuery" library. And we uh, had to play the part of a douchey brogrammer. It's amazing how far those conversations went.

It was really fun at the time, but also maybe a little mean to recruiters. They do have a tough gig and they're usually under the gun. Ah well...
Swedish Cold War neutrality was a sham. They aligned their tactics and weapons acquisitions with NATO standards. From the 1950s onwards they secretly collaborated with the UK and USA on intelligence and defensive plans.

There really was no question that they were in the NATO sphere except for formality.

Finland was more truly neutral.
Social+Capital in Turmoil?
I worked in a video store in London for a few years back in the day. We paid tens and sometimes (for the big releases) hundreds for movies from our supplier; because we got them before they were available to the public, we were paying for that window of time in which the only way to see the movie was to rent if from us. I think (but certainly cannot be sure) I recall that the agreement forced our hand; if they were selling the movie, we had to buy from them, even after it was available to the general public. Some kind of franchise agreement.
I worked at Double Negative (the VFX company mentioned) during the production of Interstellar and had the pleasure of sitting in on an in-house lecture he did for the artists and R&D teams - incredibly good teaching skills. He was able to explain some very complex subjects in a 90 minute session.

For any non-scientists that are interested in this subject, he published a book about his work on the film that was quite interesting.

I think this article makes too much of the fact that they were not engineers (I say this as a person with two engineering degrees), and too little of the fact that this was by far not the first indication of problems. I can't find the HN link now, but the official government report was pretty damning. There were numerous incidents that lead to injuries, numerous reports that rafts had gone airborne when they shouldn't have, numerous times when employees expressed reservations or misgivings about this ride. It doesn't take an engineering degree, or any degree, to respond to what you see happening. This accident didn't come out of nowhere, and they had many previous indications that there was a problem.
I expect you are right, that Russia was not in a fit state after the fall of Communism to create such a state. But it is too bad, considering that several smaller ex-Soviet states were able to, one way and another, form functioning governments that aren't one-man states. Heck, even one-party states seem to do a bit better- they occasionally change leadership, implement reforms, and even implement some sort of simulacrum of politics, even if it's all internal party jostling.
it's not even that, it's a question of the expectation of privacy in someone else's vehicle.

That $3.5k in extra income is over the course of about 3.5 months or so. Call it an extra $1000/month. A quick google tells me that health insurance costs average around $321 or $558 per month for an individual and $833 per month for a family, plus there is a multi-thousand dollar annual deductible. [2] Sounds to me like, yes, universal basic health coverage absolutely could help someone resist the temptation for that amount of money.

Edit: I will note the article indicates he is 32, so while he's a veteran, he's not a military retiree. He likely doesn't have military medical benefits.
