Not gp, but: you have a marvelous security system, but GitLab Pages does not use it. For an installation containing private/protected projects, this severely limits the use of Pages.

For example, it is not possible to use Pages to build documentation that should only be available to project members. Everything published to Pages is available to the public.
It is a system that results in rich and poor, where rich are holding stakes and incentivized to maintain and grow their status and the poor are insignificant to do anything. Then there is the vast middle class who don't see the poor but only aspires for the rich. Such system exploits human nature and has proven to be quite stable -- isn't that any society's goal after all?

It takes compassion and faith in truth, in sufficiently large doses, to challenge such systems.
That’s not the debate though, that would be morally wrong obviously. The fan is trying to get money that he/she doesn’t really deserve, and it’s immoral.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, and setting a precedent that it’s a feee for all makes thing much worse for everyone.

Credit card companies are already doing things like this.

What one of the executives there did, he looked at how people were using Canadian Tire credit cards and tracking what products they actually purchased. Then he found out that people, who for instance buy premium wild bird seed, it turns out that they very infrequently went bad on their debts. Whereas people who bought chrome accessories for their car, they walked away from their debts more frequently.

To who ever is doubting gitlab right now:

Checkout their CI/CD flow in combination with their Docker/Kube integration. You'll see why they are poised to steal the rug from under github.
You are confusing two concepts under HIPAA you are explicitly disallowed to log any EHR information.

Record systems must be able to represent the exact EHR presented to a query e.g. to check if there was a human error like some one missreading the record.

This is achieved by keeping record versions and a record history this isn’t achieved by having system logs and audit trails of queries returned.

Essentially your EHR system would work like git you’ll be able to query the same commit as the original query but it doesn’t mean that your database audit trail would record any parts of the electronic health record that is simply not allowed.

What was the reasoning behind social credit system? To keep track of bad actors or create surveillance nation?

On a side note, this is what happens when "technocrats" become the ruling class in overwhelming majority. Ability to apply technical solution to societal problems. Most of the China's ruling class are technocrats. We need anthropologists, social scientists, philosophers as law makers. Yes technocrats should be there in the mix too but they alone won't fix societal problems.

> JavaFX 11

Is that the version number, or how many people are using it?
I use GitLab for all my side projects. I personally love the integrated CI/CD. But there's one thing that I absolutely hate and is their hierarchy model for repos. In GitHub, repos are first class citizens. For some reason, I feel that in GitLab you get a diluted repo experience.

I think I would abandon GitLab altogether if Microsoft ever makes private repos free.
If you accepted the free membership, you waived your rights to sue them. It was in the agreement.
> As Sijbrandij stressed, while most people still look at GitLab as a GitHub and Bitbucket competitor [...] GitLab wants to be far more than that. It now offers products in nine categories

So basically, instead of being a GitHub competitor, it is now an Atlassian competitor.
I actually built two of my own 1st-order ambisonic mics and the decoder plugins about 6 years ago. I shelved the project since I couldn't (and still cannot) afford a playback system beyond stereo :(

It was pretty cool to rotate the soundfield through headphone playback to have the recorded audio whizzing around your head :)

I never thought at the time that VR would become popular again and provide a good use case for this technique.

I don’t think you can beat yourself up too much for that one - Apple’s turn around in the late 90s was hardly obvious or even probable at times. If I’d been at Apple during the period just before (heck even during) the NEXT acquisition I’d have constantly been considering jumping ship before the seemingly inevitable collapse too.
If it wasn't a surprising situation, it wouldn't have been in a medical journal.

However its possibility isn't crazy. Per https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC22534/ it seems that cancer cells can be detected in the blood before the cancer itself is detectable by traditional means. Therefore an undiscovered cancer could well have left circulating cells in multiple organs.

The point of Java on the desktop was cross-platform compatibility, but electron now occupies that same space — and decent JS developers are cheaper and easier to find than decent Java-desktop developers.

If cross-platform support is not a requirement, desktop Java is not even in the running.
Yes, it's a good practice, even if you believe you have the necessary technology in place to fully log what was exfiltrated. That being said, it's good to hear that they're actually doing so.
Here's my (simplistic) take: Believing in God (this word is problematic because it has many different uses) is an axiom, it doesn't need to be, or indeed can be, "proven". You just accept it as given as see what logical conclusions can be drawn from it. Think of it as similar to Euclid's fifth postulate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate), you can accept or leave it and build a system around either choice. This is actually a fun activity to do, e.g. try to see if whatever definition of God you use imposes limits on the entity, e.g. "Can God create an equal" (if you've read Weaveworld this is how Shadwell tempts the The Scourge, but I digress)

I don't think the above approach clashes with science, many scientists have held religious beliefs.

However, organized religion is quite a different thing from the above approach, which is probably what you are referring to in your question. It seems humanity has needed religion as a bulwark against life's tragedies/evil/etc. from the earliest times (see Gobekli Tepe, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe) and it seems this inherent need is still going strong, although many attempts have been made to stamp it out. Depending on your deposition this may be a sign of the great Truth or an evolutionary bug in our brain's wetware.
Totally. Hopefully the judge orders they pay him over and above his deserved winnings if it gets that far.
There are many encryption methods safe from the NSA, but you are right, once they attack the CPU backbones almost nothing on the market is unbreakable.
Seems like a good idea.

I'm totally OK with the concept of phones ignoring all privacy concepts (within reason) once 911 is typed in.

Privacy etc is important sure but 911 implies an in extremis case that goes far beyond such considerations.
The alternative is what ? Someone buys them all and it's the same all over again ?

These are all good questions, and not so easy to answer :-) Any answers I can give are personal, of course, and may well have no relevance to your situation.

a): 'Studying' is definitely very important to get an idea of the context of the thing you are trying to solve. (I did a lot of reading both before and during the project). But, it doesn't always relate easily to the problem you have right now. (E.g. I'm using linear scan allocation, and the papers on that method all glossed over the nature of a 'live range', which took me 3 iterations to figure out). And without a practical problem to guide you, it is easy to get lost in literature.

b): What I find is that before I try to do something, I typically put together a high-level overview of how I think I can achieve it (what stuff to change where, and what I will need for that, roughly). But I'd classify that more under planning than under studying per se.

What I also do is take lots of notes. I have several large org-mode files (big fan) and before that paper notebooks in which I write down thoughts as they come up. I think org-mode is superior because it lets me organize things after the fact. Notes are a crucial bit of making progress for me, because I don't need to revisit the same things over and over.

The other thing that I find helps very much (and which I wasn't very good in at first) is to do incremental, small-step improvements. Move a function here, change an struct there, change an interface, move some process earlier or later, split it up. Simple things that you can do and that you know will not go wrong. Many problems can be broken down in that way, and the few that can't can at least be 'isolated' so that you can fix them 'atomically'. I wrote a blog post about this some time ago, if you'll excuse the link: http://brrt-to-the-future.blogspot.com/2016/06/in-praise-of-...

c): I was lucky to be able to join the perl community as part of a GSoC project, and fortunate that the perl community is altogether friendly and welcoming. And I really can't speak for the node.js people at all. But what I will say that anyone with a genuine interest in contributing (as you seem to have) and a willingness to do the work to learn (and to listen) will find a warm welcome from nearly all open source projects, because all of them are relatively understaffed compared to their ambitions :-)

So in your situation, I'd start with checking out the node.js source, start with trying to figure out how a debugger could work (there is lots of prior art here, of course, so you can check out the chromium source as well), and ask your questions basically as the jvns comic demonstrates.

I hope that answers some of your questions.
Quite possibly that's what would work. I haven't tried any of them in any kind of serious capacity before.

Edit: Looks like there's been an RFC in the past to add it to rust, but it got punted because the const generics stuff went in first and they wanted to see how that would shake out before trying to fully tackle this. https://github.com/ticki/rfcs/blob/pi-types-ext-2/text/0000-...

2008~2011 timeline sounds spot on. We had an AIR app, which we started moving to web-based JavaScript around 2011ish I think. It was a lot of custom code; would have been a lot simpler now with something like Angular. And TypeScript would have been alike a chorus of angels.
Why would they care and why should they care what we think?

They should make their own self-assessment and figure out what works form them by themselves.

Ther system evolved from different badic principles and that has arrived at diffetent conclusions.

That said, things can radically change as in Japan during WWii —> Pracetime transition, but that requires buy-in from all involved to avoid what usually happens during radical change (Tsarist to Sowiet; Dynasty —> Republic —> PRC).
You don't in my experience.

There are many smart religious people out there, but personally I couldn't reconcile it.
I feel where Ruby's optional parenthesis syntax really shines is in method call chaining.

Welcome to a totalitarian state
China has had a "police census" for centuries. Under communism, they had the dang'an, a lifetime work record maintained by each citizen's work unit. But with a more mobile population and more private employers, the paper based dang'an system didn't scale. So, now the social credit system. It's not new, just more automated.
The article seems to be a more academic rephrasing of said talk.

That depends on your definition of "fine," I suppose.
I'm glad it's a good library. I was responding especially to "Make an arbitrary scheme on top of" whatever underpinnings one might choose, good or bad. That's not something we amateurs should ad lib where security matters.

We will undoubtedly have to integrate and access libraries like NaCl. But we should do so in keeping with best practices recommended by cryptographers (e.g. through NaCl's documentation), not by layering an arbitrary scheme on top.
Ages ago I was paid by professional scalpers to build bots on TM to get the "fruit". Fun times.
The same way one can be educated and smart and think there is inherent meaning in existence. Science has no other function than to further the understanding of how the universe works, while the people of good are content with leaving what the don't understand to the workings of god.

Neither will save humanity from the inevitable heat death of the universe.
I know this pain. I bought some Jan 19' $10 put options in Kodak right after they announced their nonsense cryto abomination.

I knew it had run on speculation and was going to come down. The problem was I timed it wrong. By Feb 7th after my options expired Kodk was trading in the mid $2 range, down from $11. I lost my entire option bet, oh well. Lession learned.
The minimum number of speakers for a horizontal ambisonic setup is 4 but you need at least 6 to localize sound in a full sphere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambisonic_reproduction_systems...

I'm not sure if massive speaker array systems like BEAST (http://www.beast.bham.ac.uk/about/) use ambisonic diffusion techniques, I think part of the appeal of ambisonics is the relatively small number of speakers you need for full sphere spatialization.

Can anyone Chinese or who knows more about China provide any insight into why they're doing this? Is there some local political reality?

My reading is that they're worried about their explosive GDP growth leveling out and the political instability a debt crisis might cause.

As much as it seems like a foreign concept, I wonder what parallels can we derive from a state-backed social credit system to say something like our corporate-backed financial credit scores. We see that companies from health insurers to cell phone providers are already adopting skimming through your or your demographic's purchase history to see if you are worthy of success or not.

Not defending China, but boogeymen pieces like this evoke responses like this is a truly non-western concept and not just a "hardcore" version of what we have
Probably both. It's no secret that China has long aspired to transform into Singapore - clean and sterile. CCP leaders have been openly talking about it for decades now. Compared to the mainland, Singapore doesn't have large issues with stuff like crime or social order. imo Singapore has achieved it via a technological Big Bro state.

According to the paper, Bohmian mechanics violates assumption (Q) (the first one), which is not exactly "consistent with QM", but rather "If an agent knows the state of a quantum system S and knows that a measurement of x applied to the state yields ξ with probability 1, then the agent knows that x = ξ".

Bohmian mechanics violates it by not applying to arbitrary subsystems, but only to the universe as a whole (i.e. parts of the universe cannot be treated as quantum-mechanical systems themselves, because they don't have their own pilot waves)
That's true, but I was more addressing that #2 and #5 are two different outputs of the same technical mechanism—therefore saying that #2 is misinformed while #5 is valid is a contradiction.

Purism is working with coreboot to provide laptops where you can verify the integrity of firmware on your device, within the limits of Intel CPUs.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/purism-heads-rootkit-tampe...

"Purism announced that, after almost a year of testing, it was able to successfully integrate the Heads firmware into its TPM-enabled and Coreboot-running Librem laptops. The open source firmware, which checks if someone has tampered with the laptops, allows users to freely inspect and customize the code. Purism also recently announced that all of its new Librem 13 and 15 laptops now include a TPM by default, so they all come with the Heads firmware by default, too."

To me your point of view reads as superficially civil but deeply cynical underneath. The current system is unfair, and you criticize people who want to fix it because they won't take a local action which is nominally aligned with the goal but in reality will just tilt the unfairness further.

It's a bit like tritely declaring that people should just opt in to pay more taxes individually if they think tax rates on the wealthy are too low.
