"This means that if you have a large set of random-looking data, they can already lock you up."

In the UK, with RIPA legislation, there is a real risk of someone dropping a USB key full of random data on you, telling the cops there's child porn in it, then you get locked up for 5 years for failing to decrypt it.
The American time use statistics make it pretty clear. Our hobby is watching television and using our phones. Anyone who says they have "no hobby" almost certainly spends hours of entertainment time each day at a screen. People just mean they have no other hobby aside from the default hobby.

The same goes for anyone claiming they have no free time. No free time after sleep, work, kids and screen entertainment.

It's not at all clear to me that people WANT a different hobby than the one they've got.
The pre-WW2 world was firmly colonial, and Japan's imperialistic ambitions in the first half of the 20th century were not particularly out of place, or unusual.

Why was he expected to 'reign in the military', while other colonial nations got a free pass on this account? Was it because his country came out on the losing side in the conflict?
This is a pretty sick burn, and you may be being generous.

Nothing in this list is a new idea. People have been trying and failing at open app stores for years. Same with touch OS. If "What does the internet-native version of the WSJ or The Economist look like?" constitutes a sleeper market, he may need to get out more.
No it's a native application you install and run on your OS.
What's interesting is the $20 wyze cameras already do this and it works ...quite well.
I love this sentence:

Bogus.

Scratch is good at what it is; I know people who swear by LabView, Alteryx and similar tools rather than swearing at them.

One could make the case that current software development tools really aren't good enough and that one fundamental problem is dealing with naming and polysemy.

The trouble fundamentally is that there is no system that is going to produce ergonomic names for everything. There are systems that can name everything but the names look like

84746261718

or

178bcd0d-70ce-413b-9497-5364a5f56972

which people can't remember or easily discover. Part of the appeal of GUIs is that you can pick something out of a palette, list, or menu although the gain you get there is limited. Ever see a 1000+ page book on Microsoft Word or (worse) try to explain to somebody how to use mobile apps for the first time (eg. "click on the hamburger icon; huh?", "swipe down; ... doesn't work ...; maybe when you swipe down you have to start above the edge of the screen...") and you realize that there are limits to how many things you can present on a screen and how well people can find things.

When you are talking to people you can use a word which is ambiguous and people figure it out most of the time and if they don't figure it out you can have a conversation with them about it as opposed to a programming language compiler which typically give messages like:

Could not find or construct Composite[CustomDataType].
[error]
[error] If CustomDataType is a simple type (or option thereof) that maps to a single column, you're
[error] probably missing a Meta instance. If CustomDataType is a product type (typically a case class,
[error] tuple, or HList) then probably one of its component types is missing a Composite instance. You can
[error] usually diagnose this by evaluating Composite[Foo] for each element Foo of the product type in
[error] question. See the FAQ in the Book of Doobie for more hints.

Until we accept that we can do fundamentally better and that we must we are going to be stuck having the same stupid conversations.
Well, the depth that I’d like has never been done :)

Funny lots of people in crypto think its the banks and government manipulating the price of crypto (gold too). I guess everyone has their own conspiracy and its a shame the WSJ charges people for theirs.

Fresh Hetzner customer here. I've been using their services for personal use for about 2 months now without any problems. I'm running speed and benchmark tests regularly and they are actually very positive. I heard their old Cloud panel was crappy but this one seems very promising. It's modern and simple like those in Vultr or Digital Ocean.

Are you suggesting the New Deal came about because the 1930s were so prosperous? I don't think that is a very common view of the Great Depression.
I see your debates and raise you practice. I've done plenty of typical application development that makes practical use of lambdas and parallelism for great benefit.
Single stream recycling is largely solved. Unsurprisingly, humanoid form factors aren't optimized for conveyor flows of materials.

Lots of gates, air puffers, filters, size categorizers, etc. Maybe you could add an arm at the end, but there's no reason for the legs and torso of a humanoid robot.

The description is a little off. It was more a C thing than a C++ thing. And it was invoked by using any pragma; the gcc developers at the time had borderline religious objections to the idea of pragmas.
They lost my business when they required a passport. Like hell I'm showing you that. If they wanna see my face they can look up my name on social media.
Good point, I think its a definitely a multi-pronged approach, their labor right now is limited to factory workers and whole-foods right now. My view of whole-foods is that they may already be paying at or above $15/hr wages, so that leaves factory workers, who are being used mostly for sorting goods from large bins into smaller bins.

Amazon fulfillment centers are right now using warehouse robots to retrieve large bins from really really tall 'shelves' because that is a solved problem for Amazon. The sorting into the smaller bins is left to humans because they are faster and more accurate at the moment for awkwardly shaped items.

What is the state of computer-vision, part-identification, and compliant-actuator pick-place robots inside Amazon? Have they released any whitepapers or research papers on robotics of note recently, acquired any interesting automation companies recently?
Ask them. Just because someone is riding a nice bike and wearing athletic clothing doesn't mean they don't enjoy their hobby (on the contrary, my instinct would be to say they do enjoy it since they obviously spend so much money on it).
Just another point of reference. The compiler the author uses to compile C, gcc, is actually now written in C++.
The economy is a sort of perpetual motion machine / ponzi scheme. It's based on some common hallucination that the things we buy matter, and it's all backed up by money we loan each other.

The moment we stop investing, borrowing and loaning, it will all come tumbling down. This is sort of what caused the panic of 2008 and why the governments had to step in with QE.
Totally agree. A good bike is so much more fun to ride.
That depends on your graphics card manufacturer and your motherboard. With my MSI parts I had to get a specially crafted GPU BIOS from an MSI employee to make it all work. I had hoped that situation had improved over the years.
Is it safe to assume that this is being done for Intel before AMD/Nvidia due to the more open nature of Intel's drivers? (I had thought AMDGPU was supposed to be better?)

I'm just wondering if features like this can be used as a carrot/stick for AMD/NVIDIA -- "Hey, look what we can build and provide for Intel customers because their driver devs are at the table."

On a separate note, insert here unending words of praise for the money and effort that Red Hat puts into Linux, and specifically technologies related to Linux on the desktop. systemd/logind, pulseaudio, pipewire, gnome, wayland (including porting various other projects)... all critical stuff that I see go unappreciated sometimes.
Yes, I agree, it's a combination of high inclination, perihelion, and eccentricity that point point to scattering.

The clustering of the arguments of perihelia is less straight forward (you can see it in Figure 4 of the linked pre-print PDF in another comment) and my limited understanding is that they are shepherded into that configuration over time by the large body. That is more clear when you see the results of the numerical simulations I suppose.
Totally agree, with one caveat - don't then turn around and complain when these hard workers, or especially their hardworking children and grandchildren, have more resources than you and yours.
I have 2/4/6 year olds which I read to every night - it’s rare we ever miss a night, so good on you for starting early!

For the youngest, Sandra Boynton books are good, they have great pictures.

I’ll also recommend any books with pictures of real kids. One such book is Global Babies - other similar titles will be suggested.

I also like the Little Master Baby Lit series. Easy books that introduce classic characters your child will remember as they age.

One other recommendation - get board books and understand/be ok with their destruction. They are durable enough, but your kid may chew/rip/throw the book. That’s ok, you can teach respect for books as the child grows :)
keep in mind 15/h is radically different from when you grew up, especially in a city that anyone wants to live in. Over half your wage is going towards rent, even with the shittiest conditions.
Like I established in my opening comment, C tells you how software works, not how hardware works. Regardless, you're still wrong in several ways here. Making it out of several discontinuous regions of memory doesn't make your heap less of a heap. Most architectures also provide instructions for loading data from the stack and optimize for this purpose, using their caches more efficiently and making design decisions which have clearly been influenced by the C (or System V) ABI.
just came back from the Grace Hopper Celebration, I love this as a summary of her work! really cool person who I hadn’t known much about before
What I like about Nix is that this kind of functionality can be integrated into the Nixpkgs package set, as a function over packages.
It's just as easy as writing a machine image or an virtual machine network test, because Nixpkgs has functions you can use for those as well.
That's how the ARM1 was made in the first place: by being simulated. On a BBC Model B. First silicon worked, which nobody really expected but they surprised themselves.

Slab City, a Squatters’ Paradise in Southern California (2018)
I remember as a child watching an episode of some version of battlebots, where a competitor had an articulated grabbing arm on top of his robot. The arm had, I believe, two articulating joints and then an articulating grabber/jaw at the end. To control the arm he had made a small 2d model of it and could simply move that around on a clipboard like backing, and it would map those movements to the servos in the arm. I was blown away by how intuitive and simple of an interface he had made for this contraption that I imagined would work with a complicated series of levers similar to those used by backhoe operators. I credit this in no small way with inspiring my ever-persistent need to automate as much as possible in my adult life.

EDIT: If anyone has any idea which episode of what show this was, I would be very excited to watch it again
Is there a name for the feeling you get when you discover something you thought only you noticed or knew about has a name (and essays written about it, and a documentary)?
"There are two ways you can get exercise out of a bicycle: you can “overhaul” it, or you can ride it. On the whole, I am not sure that a man who takes his pleasure overhauling does not have the best of the bargain. He is independent of the weather and the wind; the state of the roads troubles him not. Give him a screw-hammer, a bundle of rags, an oil-can, and something to sit down upon, and he is happy for the day. He has to put up with certain disadvantages, of course; there is no joy without alloy. He himself always looks like a tinker, and his machine always suggests the idea that, having stolen it, he has tried to disguise it; but as he rarely gets beyond the first milestone with it, this, perhaps, does not much matter.

The mistake some people make is in thinking they can get both forms of sport out of the same machine. This is impossible; no machine will stand the double strain. "

I agree with the sentiment of starting small, but your example of strict liability might be starting too strong. Personally, I would start with a lower mens rea. Maybe I see the situation differently, but I believe most of the subjects covered by GDPR are distinguishable from areas of law such as, e.g., products liability, that utilize strict liability.
Danger is usually in the head :-). This is one of the lessons I learned on the trail.

If you've always wanted to do it, I would recommend doing longer and longer hikes and then just do the big one.

In my case I started with 2-3 day hikes, expanded to 10 day hikes and then just did the 10 month. A 10 month hike is essentially a series of 10 day hikes, because even in a 10 month hike after 10 days of hiking one just takes it easy or rests.
Worker protections have been going down in our longest bull run ever. Just recently the Supreme Court ruled that forced arbitration was legal and we are at some of the highest profits and productivity ever. Those protections weren't going up during the boom cycles in the 90s either.

I'm not sure your hypothesis fits reality
People pay taxes to build roads etc. Unless you’re a radical libertarian that’s how it works.
No... For example, let's imagine a developer needs to find the source of a bug on a big rails app. All he knows of the bug is that a certain line of logged SQL should be near the location. He knows how to trigger the bug. A simple method call triggers a myriad of unknown things, one of which is where the bug lies. He gets the idea to write a method that takes a regex and a block and temporarily override the logging method while the block executes so that it outputs a backtrace when logging a line that matches the given regex. The method is called, the backtrace is output, and the bug is found.

Development ideas and methodologies like that don't appear in code.

In my opinion, the court has significantly erred in redefining interstate commerce to include (1) intrastate-only-commerce; and (2) non-commerce (i.e. locally grown and unsold wheat)

Furthermore - and this is a bit off topic - unalienable natural rights (Equality, Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness) are of higher precedence. I mention this because this is yet another case where the court will be interpreting the boundary between State and Federal rights; and it's very clear that the founders intended for the powers of the federal government to be limited -- certainly not something that the Commerce Clause should be interpreted to supersede.

What penalties and civil fines are appropriate for States or executive branch departments that violate the Constitution; for failure to uphold Oaths to uphold the Constitution?

> Sure, C is great in its simplicity but the world has moved on to safer more powerful languages.

Sure, we have more type safe languages. But I wouldn't call one language "more powerful" than another. Certainly Rust isn't "more powerful" than C. They are both turing complete and equally "powerful".
OK, yeah. I know what static is. It isn't like HBO invented that. So, back to the original point. I suspect that it is a short matter of time before nobody really knows what that is anymore. My kids have certainly never seen it. And it is no longer what a television on a "dead" channel shows.
The number of potential encounters is also a factor. Objects in orbits this large, with periods measurable in thousands of years, won't have many periodic encounters. There isn't enough time since the formation of our solar system for them to get close enough together. The lower the number of potential encounters, the more significant must those be that do happen. That too points to a larger body out there.
That would certainly one-up the Puppeteers' Fleet of Worlds...
I came to the conclusion years ago that the selection criteria for shows like that is nothing to do with skills and everything to do with entertainment. They want a mix of pretty-but-dumb people, good-honest-family people, and assholes.
1. Good idea, this is definitely something we have in mind as we look to revamp our dock and the way we handle notifications across all your apps

2. Improving performances is one of our main focus at the moment. You should definitely see improvements over the next few weeks and months.

3. Interesting. Actually one of the developers in our team has edited the app to remove the dock so he is not distracted by the icons on the left side. Essentially what would help you here is having some sort of full-screen mode that allows you to stay focused on one app only without being distracted by the Station interface.

The frustration we are trying to address is the way browsers handle applications. Indeed we could end up replicating the very problem we were trying to eradicate if we end up just creating yet another browser. We started from a blank page for that very reason - so we could in fact build the best experience possible for web apps. I do believe it gives us enough freedom to avoid running into the same issues you can find on traditional browsers. The future will tell!
You're right! The ability to understand, contextualize, and restate someone's point cogently and clearly back to them will leave them feeling they have been heard and understood.

It's possible that my life experience might suggest that this sense of feeling listened to sometimes dissipates when it is not followed by the actions they would have you undertake. The ability to articulate why you have made this choice contrary to their wishes is, as you so correctly point out, critically important for having the other person understand.

More completely, it can be very helpful in leaving another person feeling heard and understood when you choose not to do as they desire you to. It may be possible that not all people are so understanding as to accept that someone who heard and understood them might genuinely come to a different conclusion, even with a clear understanding of their points and lucid explanations of reasoning processes.

It may also be worth considering how these techniques can, in some scenarios, interact with complex human systems. The techniques you wisely describe can be incredibly effective on a personal level! Yet, they perhaps can function less well when subject to an intermediating system. In such a scenario, some people might opt to interpret people choosing not to act as they suggest as a failure to hear and understand their points. In an organization, giving each individual the personal attention and explanation required to satisfy them and help them feel listened to can very easily become time-prohibitive.

You're absolutely, completely, 100% right. It's just perhaps possible that there might be some further room for subtlety.

But, I mean, how useful is that point? Virtually everything, including the X86 ISA, is an "abstract machine".
You're making a hell of a lot of assumptions there.

In the end you're probably right for a population of people. I'm not talking about that, though - I'm talking about very specific people with families to feed.
I'm not sure if `rpm-ostree` can (yet?), but NixOS can do the pivot with a live running system. It's a similar pivot/symlink-farm strategy.
