Excuse me, I don't exclusively deal in 7-bit ASCII characters just because I happen to speak English, which isn't the only language I speak either.
I've got the same confusion as the parent poster, but going a bit further - so does each revision of Nixpkgs have just one version of say openssl? How about if 2 different programs are built around 2 different version of OpenSSL? How do they coexist in one revision of Nixpkgs?

I actually don't really understand how this is handled in other package-managers as well. B/c in the case of libraries, having 2 versions floating around can lead to double linking and duplicate symbols and all sorts of subtle problems.

Fluff piece almost devoid of content; a quasi-submarine for industry executives that namedrops a few companies selling fancy point-of-sale tech.

The two important points made in the article are that fast food places have issues with timing mobile orders, and many store managers notice that mobile pickup facilities are overprovisioned relative to their usage.

The first is a solved problem in the world of takeout pizzas; in fact, such pizza places often have minimal storefronts and waiting space. But pizza keeps well in a box under its own heat, and heatlamps have become unfashionable in fast food as everyone wants to move upmarket and made-to-order. But there's also a UX solution: detect or ask the customer via the app when they're ready for the order to be made.

The second point is ironic: all these companies pushed into mobile ordering as a top-down directive thinking that's what users want. They'll push into AI or whatever hype next the same way. It's bullshit. People want low prices (McDonald's, Taco Bell), or they want the appearance of quality (Panera). Blowing a ton of money on some half-baked ML ordering system is a waste, when they've already cut their cashiers by putting up slow kiosks and put all their ordering UI on everyone's phone. But the people selling this to clueless executives spinning their wheels stand to make a decent chunk of change until they cash out to some equally-clueless established point-of-sale company.

As an opponent of NSA, I was studying them closely to assess capabilities. Anderson, Schell, and Karger were pushing "COMPUSEC" in the 1970's on the military who mostly didnt believe in it. They and NSA thought all you needed was access controls on computers plus COMSEC between them. The BLACKER VPN paper mentioned the rivalry between COMSEC vs COMPUSEC people, too. That was somewhere between 1980-1990. It wasn't until around 1990 after many pentests by INFOSEC pioneers and hackers in the media convinced them to hire their own hackers. They were still focused on crypto and software flaws since they were low-hanging fruit. I figured subversion would be high-profile targets only.

How Patriot act got passed was straight outta Nazi playbook. If a power grab, I knew secret backdoors, surveillance, and disappearances would follow. They'd launch USAP's forcing people to backdoor stuff or be held indefinitely under Patriot Act. Despite Haydens work, NSA still moves slow. I figured a few years before large-scale capabilities came online. Said 2004. Far as I recall, nothing in Snowden leaks refuted that estimate.

What about TAO? Hayden was forcing management to listen to engineers. They'd propose backdoors. Still software focused mostly, though. I estimated 1999. Later article on TAO history said 1997 was their start. Damn. Now I say 1995-1997.

Only thing left off was use obscure, less-popular hardware IP holders and terroristd probably werent using. Macs, Amigas, SGI... or just off-brand x86.

> The encoding of a string should never cause a comparison to fail when the two strings are equivalent except for the encoding.

You'll have to admit that the encoding is a property of a string, just like the content itself. As always, you as a programmer are bound to know both of these properties to have predictable results. To compare two strings of different encoding to one another, you'll have to find a common ground for interpreting the data contained in the string.

If you don't want or need that, then all you have is a "string" of bytes.

Patent complications do seem to be a factor, but it's unclear if in practice it'd be "loads of money", as the project page suggests many existing systems already have licensed decoding capabilities.

Also, one of the patent pools covering HEVC announced in 2016 that software-only implementations would be royalty-free:

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hevc-advance-announ...

Whether still-other licenses from other patent-holders might be necessary for software-only, in-browser decoding is unfortunately murky.
I support Brave's vision for the Web, but it currently seems to represent a step backwards for privacy. Making payments to providers essentially involves sending your Web browsing history to Brave. The FAQ states that "we do not know which BAT wallet is associated with the lists of sites that you choose to support". I believe that is false.

I think it works like this: (1) Brave Browser submits its transactions to a Brave server to exchange a BAT for an Anonize ballot (anonize.org), (2) each ballot has the name of a site you visited randomly added by the browser with probability proportional to the frequency of site visits, and (3) the ballots are sent to a Brave server. Key here is that the token and ballot submissions are sent directly (e.g. not through a proxy or Tor). In addition, I believe the ballots may be submitted as a batch (i.e. at one point in time). Therefore, it is easy for Brave to see your votes for your visited websites, all coming at once, all from your IP address. That IP address may well be the same one used to exchange the BAT for ballots as well.

There are additional problems regarding visits to unusual and identifying websites that I feel like Brave hasn't begun to consider, either. Suppose that every and only time that Brave receives a ballot for your personal website, they also receive a ballot for some unpopular and sensitive website. They can then conclude that the owner of the website also visits that sensitive site.

These problems must be addressed before Brave can be considered seriously by privacy-conscious users.

Does it also bother you that tall people are statistically more successful basketball players? Or that wiry people are statistically better marathon runners? If no, then why does it bother you that intelligent people are statistically more successful in positions that require complex mental work?

The intelligence trait is real, not imaginary. Sure, it's a lot more complex than a simple, well-defined concept like mass. But then again, that applies to everything related to the human mind.

False causality (I believe post hoc fallacy). Maybe healthy people take more public transportation, or maybe your sample size is so ridiculously tiny you can't draw significant conclusions. And the fact that some healthier people ride public transportation may be because they are healthier, not the other way around.
Not standard, but it shouldn't be very hard to write an extension to handle this use case. I would like to see that happen, actually.

I'm amazed by your comment:

"I'm not saying there would be only benefits [in space]...
...Space food is currently impossible,so almost anything we do will be neutral or an improvement"

So in the first comment I read that there will be only benefits in space, and in this one that there will be, practically speaking - only improvements?
Indeed but the "security" doesn't actually making the final product secure (as the Krebs article notes). Rather, it's securing the highest tech to ... keep Intel's market position secure.

(theoretically about having "capacities" that Chinese, Russians etc don't have but that's clearly an outdated concept - having the fastest processors in some defense system hardly matters compared to having secure electronic system broadly).
You are joking, right? Have you ever seen non-English webpages? More often than not, a multitude of ??? and Chinese characters pop up at some point or another.
I'm talking about actual virtualization. Reifying objects in memory. That's completely different from abstraction, and nothing like caching. It's a process that requires interpretation or translation, and not nearly as broad as "abstraction" is.
I recommend you keep holding back. I've been running NixOS on a personal vps and my laptop for close to two years now and it was a mistake.

The official documentation for the configuration language is as far as I can tell like 20 pages long. Then you are directed to some old blog posts... I realized that I don't want to investing the time to learn some undocumented obscure single use language.

Guix looks way more interesting to me. Compare the Guix manual to the NixOS & Nix manuals combined and they are about the same length. Then look at the Guile manual and it is about 3x longer than either of those. Of course, I have an issue with the whole Guix libre distribution so I'm not going to be installing it. I like working wifi too much.

Nix and Guix are really interesting ideas but they have both made choices that I think are going to keep them very niche.

The laptop is back on Debian, eventually when the burden of maintaining the server becomes too great that will be back to Debian as well.
there's a trade-off for sure, but at the moment some countries make a very small percentage of their goods locally, which leaves them more vulnerable to tariffs in a trade war.

Whilst raw materials could be easily available, there is a ramp-up time to move any industry locally, both in terms of creating the manufacturing infrastructure, and in terms of acquiring the skills needed locally.

"Another criticism of corporate culture levelled by the book is that offices have become interruption factories. People are working longer and later because they cannot get stuff done at the office any more. At a conference attended by 600 people, the authors asked how many had recently enjoyed 3-4 hours of uninterrupted work; only 30 hands went up."

That's my main complaint all the time and somehow managers just shrug it off as if there is nothing that can be done. Interruptions plus constant noise make real focused work almost impossible for me.

Java Native Interface Compared to Python/C API

It’s very easy to tap pretty much any electrical bus these days which uses a cable the tap itself can be very basic as it’s completely passive.

I’ve seen a demonstration of similar taps on VGA cables that transmit the entire image to a remove reciecer which is often implanted near by in a power socket, light fixture or anything else where you have a reliable power supply and enough wires to hide and even transmit a signal out side over the power lines.
Not being too much of a linguist but ever ready to expound on the concept of economy in speech: We have a strong pressure to minimize communication effort both for speakers and for listeners. I would assume that genders help disambiguate and aid the listener discern words with higher certainty without increasing the syllable count.

Our mind builds hypotheses of the words to follow while listening to a sentence. Without this, we couldn't follow a conversation. You can decide faster on what you heard the more the words preceding a noun preclose on the choice of noun. So gender can make communication more robust over a noisy channel, or more compact over a clear channel.

In the midst of a German sentence, some nouns will be precluded because they would be impossible due to gendered articles and adjectives. This lessens the cognitive load (of the trained listener) or conversely allows omitting words when the gender narrows down the selection enough.

I'll go further out on that limb conjecturing that if you haven't been exposed to a gendered language as a kid, that facility will be untrained and quite the bother to acquire as an adult. If acquiring it as an adult is possible at all.

After all that wild guessing, I should close with the observation that in this case German would be more difficult to learn than ungendered languages, _for untrained adults_.

To close off (and to partially answer your question) I'll just say that gender takes little neurons overall in the habit that is language. Whether it'd come out a net plus in syllable economy I can't say.

Well, Python already has a plan for Python 4. The Python 4 will be released after Python 3.8. There are already discussion on Python 4.0 in the dev group. It is just a new number after 3.8 so there won't be breaking issues like 2=>3.
You don’t want to do that since those broadcasts are detectable not to mention that with PoE power levels you will still not be able to broadcast outside of a datacenter also you can’t build an IC that can even take leverage of that power while being hidden in a cable.

All of these taps rely on external transceivers that will either record the traffic for later extraction or exfiltrate it through other means.

Also while PoE has more power it’s also more sensitive to voltage drop over the line which means the tap it self will be detected while normal Ethernet works from -+0.5v to -+2.0v without any issue the voltage range is to allow for voltage drop over longer cables so any drop would be ignored by both end points as they’ll just assume the cable is a few meters longer.
