Pipenv is unusable for me, since launching your app only works when your current working directory is the Pipfile directory. If you want to launch an app via a shell script from another directory, you have to first cd to the Pipfile dir, pipenv shell (maybe you can pass in a second shell script as an argument).

The article mentions Pipsi is designed to make command-line apps globally accessible, and I'll try it out.

Additionally, adding git/src/package/module.py may be fine when you're using an IDE, but when browsing in a file manager, you must navigate 3 directories deep to even see any source files, which seems to be trending towards the inconvenience amd pain of Java projects.
Would it really matter? The root cause would probably sound something like this:

"The user's preferences were ignored because the advert system failed to invalidate the cache during the change, causing the user's previously cached settings to be used. This occurred only for a small set of users, who were in a similar geographic location and were assigned to an experimental cohort to test an updated component of the advert system."

Would anyone understand this? Would anyone care?
> (maybe with some kind of publicly deployed differential gps?)

I believe this is supported/expected in the DSRC specifications. As I understand it, a well-known point, such as a post at a corner of an intersection, is located with high accuracy. A DSRC Roadside Unit can then broadcast GPS corrections to provide significantly higher accuracy to units that are able to receive and use this information.

It does require some infrastructure support, but it's something the specification group has thought of.
I have a pair of Fisher & Paykel dish drawers that I've kept alive since 2004. For a while I was replacing one part or another every year or two. They slowly improved the replacements and now, finally, they're trouble free, except the water inlet valve which needs to be replaced (and is available) every 3-4 years. (BTW, these things are a bit finicky and use a little more plastic than I'd like in places, but the engineering is really beautiful, and at least once they worked out the kinks, they're pretty reliable.)

Our Kenmore Trio fridge, also from 2004, I've kept alive. I had to replace the freezer fan and the air diverter motor each once. The water valve needs to be replaced every 3-4 years.

We have a GE washer & dryer from 2003 or so. Those too I've managed to keep alive. The washer needs a new timer, for now we just use the permanent press cycle all the time because my wife is patient, a replacement timer is ridiculously overpriced, and I haven't tried to repair the existing timer. :-( The dryer needed a new drive belt at some point, and I've jury-rigged a bearing for it as well.

Last year I had to replace the microswitches in our GE microwave. Fortunately, they've used pretty much exactly the same switches for decades and still do so these are easily available.

Our 2004 Wayne Dalton garage door openers were damaged by lighting a couple years ago. Was able to find the parts I needed to repair them on eBay.

So, I don't know, around my house I've had pretty good luck sourcing parts.

I notice a lot of neighbors don't even bother thinking to call a repair man and just replace appliances when they fail. I wonder how many of these things are actually repairable, but it isn't cost-effective if you can't do it yourself.
I wonder how they are going to pull that off without security implications.

If you've played with compute shaders (or any of the modern "general purpose" shader stuff, ie arbitrary loads & stores etc) you probably know that it's quite easy to crash drivers. Of course you do so generally by provoking some form of UB (although not always, their runtime/compilers are far from bug-free).

But WebGL can't have that, so I don't see how they could pull that off without adding a ton of runtime bound checks to shaders, like they do for index buffers right now but on the GPU side this time.

Not only would that be bad for performance, but I still would never trust this whole stack to run arbitrary code.

People ridicule the nonlocality of Pilot Wave theory. But I’d rather question locality than embrace Everett’s many-worlds theory. If you need to postulate such amazing complexity just to say basically nothing in terms of realism, then you’ve already lost.

Meanwhile as one good physics professor pointed out, none of these alternatives to PWT even rule out nonlocality. So why not just assume it and be done with the weirdness?
Agreed, that looks like an interesting report and I'll definitely spend some time with it.

However, the whole idea behind the report is that the reason we don't have the necessary evidence to draw a conclusion is that the cars simply haven't been on the road long enough yet. It accomplishes nothing to pound your desk and proclaim loftily that "There's no evidence whatsoever."

I don't see why AVs can't outperform human drivers, and further, I don't see why they need to be built with NASA-level software and hardware quality to meet that goal, as many suggest. That will only increase costs and delay benefits. "Move fast and break things" is a perfectly valid strategy if it results in fatality numbers that spike temporarily and then plunge rapidly, which is what I personally suspect is going to happen.

Imagine if you weren't allowed to use a calculator without a $5,000 license and six months of training. Sounds absurd? Welcome to the financial world, where outsiders are frowned upon.

The market is highly regulated in large part due to the notion that "manipulation" occurs (spoiler: it does, but manipulation always fails on its own eventually and the crash is typically made worse by regulators). Restrictions are made on who can invest, when and how much to the point where it's not a surprise that average wage earners avoid doing so - most of the worthwhile options are only for millionaires or higher. No wonder so many think the markets don't work - they can scarcely be considered markets!

Allow people to be educated and learn how to handle their finances rather than being protected from all danger to the point of being locked out, and you'll have informed individuals capable of handling their own affairs. Let Johnny touch the stove to see that it's hot and he'll learn right quick!

Not living in the UK but being a UK citizen, I agree. If I need a form, I can find it and associated guidance quickly.

The equivalent on my corporate intranet means navigating multiple intranet sites and conflicting guidance.

Oh, that's very cool! I had a similar idea years ago, but I didn't have the technical chops to pursue it at the time, and I ended up losing interest. I think this would actually be even more useful in the kind of architecture I'm describing, since the accumulated state has a richer structure, and many of the smaller bits of state that would be separate objects are put into a larger context.

> From what I've seen, structuring a program to not modify state is almost always more difficult than the alternative

You're not wrong! I don't think we should get rid of mutable state, but I do think we should be much more cognizant of how we use it. Mutation is one of the most powerful tools in our toolbox.

I've found that keeping a separation between "computing a new value" and "modifying state" has a clarifying effect on code: you can more easily test it, more easily understand how to use it, and also more easily reuse it. My personal experience is that I can more easily reason locally about code in this style -- I don't need to mentally keep track of a huge list of concepts. (I recall another quip, about asking for a monkey and getting the whole jungle.)

There is a large web app at my workplace that is written in this style, and it is one of the most pleasant codebases I've ever been dropped into.
>- Discourage users visiting via the IP Address, adding that to favorites, sharing it, etc. Making it difficult/impossible to migrate

That's not a reason to reject. That's a reason to issue a redirect. No regular user that would make the mistake of bookmarking an IP instead of a domain is going to know how to use an IP to get there in the first place.

>- Make it harder for databases to associate that IP Address with your site (for user privacy).

You're misunderstanding how these crawlers work. They don't just walk all IP addresses because that's a good way to get an abuse letter and because if there is no redirect to a domain they don't get the domain. These crawlers just follow links like any other and log the IPs they resolve to. The only way this helps user privacy is if there are no links to your site anywhere on the internet.
I actually think that mastodon, scuttlebutt, and other platforms and protocols (ActivityPub, etc.) represent the beginning of an evolution/revolution towards more decentralization - ok federation in some cases. And, the next versions of these platforms will either begin to converge...Or, there will be yet a new platform that will combine the best aspects of each of these. I can imagine a platform that has a neat UI like mastodon, leverages ActivityPub while online, and scuttlebutt when offline, etc. I'm excited about the work going on around all of this...so for now, your question is valid. But eventually, there might be less and less differences.

By the way, to answer your question, both mastodon - and other platforms that leverage the ActivityPub protocol - as well as scuttlebutt are similar in that they're either federated or decentralized; basically do not need to rely on any centralized controlling entity. They differe in numerous ways, but the biggest would be that mastodon - and other ActivityPub servers -expect to operate online, while scuttlebutt takes the "offline first" approach. Sure, there are other differences like UI, etc...But that might be the gist you're looking for.

I first saw one back in the 70s as a kid at a summer activity. I had made a sharp double folded dart that I would throw furiously towards the rafters to trace a ballistic arc and land almost point down. I was easily beat by a ring an older kid gently launched from the elevated stage that glided and swooped well past where my dart landed.
I guess intellection property protection to me means IP law (patents etc).

I would love to understand why Firefox keep adding support for CloudFlare specific features.
If I post on Twitter that my car blew up with a car wreck photo from some random website that I’ve photoshopped slightly to block Tineye, the Internet will set itself aflame trying to figure out what kind of car it is, create a press firestorm around the issue, and tank the company’s stock.

Trusting one person enough to go find which company they’re trying not to name only proves that you were able to find which company they were trying to keep you from naming.

It doesn’t in any way provide veracity to their story, but if they’ve shorted that company’s stock, it’ll certainly provide them a profit.

The issue here is that you don’t “know” anything if you _only_ dig up the company, because you don’t know anything more truthful than you did before someone told you a possibly-untrue thing.

Unfortunately, people are prone to hearing “I found a likely suspect company” and respond with “therefore the story is true, burn them to the ground”.

Feeding them a name to riot around by naming a probable suspect _without any proof_ does nothing to improve the story, and materially harms suspect companies, their founders, and their employees. I don’t mind if you share a company name when you’ve proven they did this, but if you can’t prove it, don’t just post a random company name on the Internet and say “I think it’s them”. That’s inciting a riot without cause, and why I encouraged otherwise here.
It remains unclear. There are reasons to believe they are (it'd really improve their ad targetting, and there are some anecdata to suggest they are), reasons to believe they aren't (they must have some ethics, and if they got caught, the result would be Bad), and reasons to believe they can't (constant audio recording would cause a suspicious drain on battery).

A Brief Review of Scoping and Hoisting in JavaScript
Try to not be wasteful and don't use blank paper.
> To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to report on the applicability of TLS session resumption for user tracking.

Whoa. I had no idea browsers were sending unique identifiers back to previously visited sites, even with cleared/disabled cookies. Nginx can pass $ssl_session_id upstream, so it's very possible that this is being used for tracking in the wild: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#varia...

Luckily, it looks like Chrome incognito mode does have a different TLS session cache, so at least things aren't leaking there. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30877

But it's unclear, for instance, whether mobile browsers use separate TLS caches for private browsing.

On top of the tracking described in the OP, the very presence of session resumption introduces an interesting timing attack. Imagine a malicious site which attempts to embed assets from various sites, all of which are known to have a similar RTT (perhaps they're hosted from the same datacenter). By seeing which are fulfilled more quickly than others (by virtue of resuming TLS sessions), you could probabilistically know which sites the user has visited before. Malicious actors could use this for phishing, or to establish bona fides in extorting payments (particularly for obscure sites with questionable content). It's exactly why we don't allow Javascript to introspect whether a link is blue or purple. Not good.
Long time watcher of LR, he's been calling out a$$le on their shitty behavior for awhile. The right to repair fight is going to go red hot next year. A$$le is quickly moving to refusing all repairs and bricking anything that is repaired.

The main issue is not that a$$le does this, but they do set an industry standard (e.g. killing headphone jacks to sell ear tampons). John D$$re, $ony, and a few others have been trying to do this quietly, but a$$le is starting to do it in the open now. $ chars used to avoid copyright claims against free speech.
So complicate the tax issue which increases costs elsewhere and contribute to government managed funds that prove inept? Taking funds from a farmer growing crops successfully and giving them to the one nextdoor who still hasn't been able to get a seed to sprout is a textbook definition of idiocy, not to mention theft.

None of that changes the fact that tax breaks will be greater in absolute numbers for wealthier individuals than for those earning less. Play games to fudge numbers so all is not equal as much as you want - those with resources avoid participating in socialistic wealth redistribution.

No income tax is far simpler. Do you know what the cost for enforcement of individual income tax is? Hint: think astronomical.

Go after about 140 million individuals vs working with approximately 28 million businesses? Do you think business or individuals are more professional? Who had the bright idea to create such a logistical nightmare?

You can keep working with an insane system if you want but people with resources do what people without resources would eventually do in the face of direct taxation, whether financially or physically - leave.

>I believe we have all been served with ads for products and services that we haven’t even searched for.

Sure, including ones I've never discussed; simple (not even requiring ML) statistical prediction of likely interest based on interests of people with similarities in search history or other things that Google overtly has in its tracking of profiles could well explain that; with ML applied well, that gets even better.

Covertly recording conversations for ads seems to be an unnecessary assumption to explain any effect I've seen or heard decribed, so while it's not impossible, I don't see any reason besides paranoia to believe it is true.

If you can't do that sort of volunteer work, then that's on you. No need to be so sour and uncharitable to those of us who try.
