Couldn't find it easily, but what model are they using to make this dead-lock free as they advertise? I've seen a number of languages try to accomplish this same goal but usually with a huge caveat on what kinds of programs are allowed, or by randomly killing threads when a dead-lock is detected.
Throughout history, the movement of Empire has been Westward (so much so it basically is Eastward almost).

Persia, Greece, Rome, Amsterdam, Britain, America...???

A kind of mythical future prediction I’ve heard is that of Australia emerging as an empire. An Atlantis like New America with the similar protection of large oceans. Perhaps India as well (notice the continuity of the old English Empire). Rugged mountains to the North for defense, and monsoon swept oceans to the South as well.

Anyway sucks that they passed this bill, kind of like the Clipper-chip in the US in the 90’s...

A key question is: Did you enjoy taking the class?

The love of money is a dangerous mistress.

When you have a family at home, spending time studying can often feel like you are cheating your kids out of your being a good dad.

You can keep yourself relevant without a masters. Can you get a Grad certificate? Or can you learn a lot on your own? In your current job? Better yet can you get your university to pay you a salary while you go to school full time?
Not everywhere since Plan9 is really mouse-centric :-)

However I think anyone have used both keyboard centric environment, at any level, and "modern mouse usage" can say that mouse sometimes is needed (like for image editing) but for plain UI is far less needed and often not really comfortable nor efficient at all...

My only consideration is that our knowledge is mostly text, we have added video/images in the game but still text is by far predominant and mostly without any viable other option... So having a text-centric environment, without, of course, dropping graphics&c capabilities it's the most logic way of work...

Meh, the water bed's time kind of came and went, IMO. I bought them because they were generally cheap, and I did like sleeping on them. Get a mattress with some baffles in it, and it gets rid of the sloshing. TFA raises the question of sex, and my experience and those reported to me say it doesn't diminish it at a minimum, and greatly enhances it for some. Without baffles, it can be a bit of a rodeo ride, though.

That said, they use electricity (you will not sleep long on an unheated water bed), take a small bit of maintenance, and keep the dogs and cats off it. I'm happy with our memory foam mattress.

Australia can't enforce its laws on a foreign company, especially considering Signal doesn't generate any revenue in Australia (afaik). Best they could do is find some way to block it (like the great firewall of China does with any sites/services that won't comply with their filter demands).
Since you mention it, the best thing you can do for future generations is not have kids. The evidence is crystal clear in that regard.
The OS part, the GNU userland, was written before the 90s. The kernel was just the missing piece that made it all work on a 386 desktop that were rising in popularity at the time.
Getting a job at those place means you will need to get training to pass their interviews. Free tuition sounds like a good deal especially if its a good university.

Obviously this law and ones like it have no place in a modern, free society, but in regards to the risk with using business apps, it's just the same as before. You can not trust app's from companies incorporated in the five eyes [1]. If you are using a product made in any of the five eyes you are already compromised. By compromised, I mean you can be almost 100% sure that if the owner's of those countries want your data they will get it, and they will get it easily too. They do not need warrants, courts or judges to sign of on anything and haven't done for a long time.

To clarify my position on this. Whether a law like this is actually passed or not, you should assume that every company incorporated in these countries have been forced to place backdoors in their systems. I'm not saying that every company has done this. I'm saying you should assume they have.

I was gonna say similar, and fall back on the old 'Market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent' trope :)

If you really want a safe(r) hedge in this situation, one option is to buy the cheapest property you can live with. That way:

- You're off the rental ladder
- Are building up an asset with mortgage payments
- Are in as shallow as possible if an event occurs that puts your ability to service the morgage in jeopardy
- Are out less if you do lose the property
- Can make a jump to a more expensive/nicer property in due time if market conditions allow
- BUT potentially miss out on capital gains/leverage as a lower cost property will increase, in real terms, less value if property prices rise.

If you're risk averse (I am) it weighs up as a good option. But you miss out on significant potential rewards (not living in as nice a place, not reaping as much capital gains, longer commute or lower wages in the area). Such is gambling.
I stayed with my parents for a summer (long story) and worked remotely - it was painful. I could barely do video conferencing let alone upload and download large datasets fast over DSL. I ended up setting up a VM on AWS to work from.

But on a less anecdotal note, legitimate companies are doing “rural sourcing” of call centers where everyone works remotely and they give you a special boot disk that only runs thier software. They pay better than minimum wage and the requirement is a decent - above DSL internet connection.
In parliamentary systems, parties in opposition commonly appoint members of Parliament as "shadow ministers" who keep track of (and speak on) issues that the parties in government have ministers handling. They can present the opposition's official position on these portfolios.

> but this compromise will deliver security and enforcement agencies the powers they say they need over the Christmas period

"We need this bill to keep you safe over Christmas" is an obscenely cynical justification to rush this bill through, esp since it's obvious no implementation changes based on this bill would be made in time for the holiday.

You need to read "The Chickenshit Club" which details the long, agonizing process the DOJ goes through before making an indictment (and subsequent arrest) because you seem to be laboring under the delusion that one person or persons decided "oh let's just arrest someone important from China"

Edit: I want to add that China is an amazing place everyone should visit at least once in their life and I hope the author does not let his fanatical political theories get in the way of what could be a life-expanding trip.

No it wasn't. The 90s was just intel and microsoft eating the market and killing innovation from competitors. Wintel easily set us back 20 years.

Mostly because of bad management and an inability to fire people even when it is clear that they should.

Generally a hiring process is a good hint to the dysfunctions of a team before you join. Panic about bad hires and a quintuple-filtered pipeline is a good sign of weak management and a structural inability to fire.
I was trying to figure out what exactly this bill says. I encourage people look for themselves.

https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislat...

It is utterly and completely incomprehensible and it offers little to no technical definitions of what exactly they want. There is a complete absence of technical concrete definitions of what they want and the memoranda seem to be highly conflicted. It reads as if some lawyers watched Mr. Robot and used it as inspiration for their creative writing paper that was due the next day.

Edit: this appears to signal the true intent of the bill

It all seems to be one giant five eyes power play to make their jobs easier.
But then how do you tell your kids what you did to combat climate change, since that was the question?
This would be a good opportunity for Apple to draw a line in the sand. They can afford to lose Australia, so they should just stop selling there. Better to battle now rather than waiting for a bigger fight.

I've really been liking Stack Decisions. We have our engineering team write one up whenever they want to make a tech decision (to avoid knee-jerk changes without reason), and it's been great to see what people think of new products we're trying. StackShare itself has been helpful for a while, and decisions adds a ton of context.

Here's an example one we wrote: https://stackshare.io/gkoberger/decisions/101031322441323967
> And not all of those are represented in rural areas.

But all of them are representated in Mississippi, which (not “rural areas”) is what was being discussed.

> And "slow broadband" feels hilariously out of place in that list.

Both slow broadband as mentioned upthread, and even moreso low broadband subscription rates as actually covered in the source article, are opportunity-limiting.
That's a horrifyingly large amount of coal there for a developed country.

That's ignoring ACA subsidies, which you're eligible for if you make less than 4x the federal poverty level.

For a family of 4, if you make under $98K per year, you're eligible for a subsidy so that you will not pay more than 9.5% of your income in premiums.

That can still be a large burden, but it's a far cry from half or more.

EDIT:
I re-read your comment, and yes, in the context of the healthcare debate, where the subsidies could potentially go away, this is quite concerning.
But one could ask what is the current paradigm?

For example, you can view it as the desktop stopped evolving, or that we moved to the browser as a virtual machine hypervisor running whatever environment you choose (particularly true with WebAssembly).

The 90s were exciting because the desktop was seen as the center of the computing universe; these days the browser is the center and the desktop is a "me too!" paradigm.

One could argue we got "stuck" or one could argue that evolution shifted to an internet first paradigm with more security in mind.

Ignore the doom-and-gloom headlines. Climate change is still a solvable problem. We have all the tools we need.

1. Learn about the best ways to get carbon out of the atmosphere [0]

2. Help build the political will for carbon pricing, ideally via Fee & Dividend. The vast majority of economists agree that once GHG pollution costs are internalized, the problem will solve itself quickly. The most effective organization in this regard is Citizens' Climate Lobby [1] – I highly recommend getting in touch with a local chapter. We all tend to be much more cynical about politics than is warranted; I was surprised how rewarding it feels to participate in the political sausage-making.

3. (Optional) Learn about/work on/invest in future carbon removal technologies [2]

The mass movement is getting there.

I just came home from a rally for a more climate friendly state budget in my home country of Norway. I'm energized and glad to find that there are many like-minded people in the world. I think I'll be volunteering for an environmental organization soon; turning my thoughts into action today felt good. I've been worried and waiting for change to happen. And now I've finally found somewhere to place my energy.
This seems like a great topic for a pre-trospective meeting to discuss the process of how to structure the process to figure out the process.
Don't worry about it too much. I did as much about global warming as I could find to do back when it counted, but I accomplished nothing. The planet is fucked, and there's nothing we can do about it now. The good news is that your kids won't know any better. They'll grow up in the desolate, unhealthy, ruined world we are leaving them, and they are going to love it - it'll be the only world they know, after all, and they'll grow up ready to find the beauty in it, just like kids have always done.

> Where's the group, the party, the leadership?

Humanity's failure to respond to the climate change crisis shows that groups, parties, and leadership are inadequate; we need some new way of organizing ourselves. Perhaps the kids will figure it out.
In my experience, it generally refers to mainframes or other specialized and powerful servers.

The Elm web programming language / framework / ecosystem.

What I like:

Pure functional programming - easy to reason about what any piece of code is doing. Works like Lego.

Complete statements. No null reference exceptions. Actually no exceptions at all. Everything is checked at compile time.

Excellent compiler errors. The most helpful I've seen.

Culture of beginner friendliness. So packages have good documentation. Getting started is "elm init". Works well on Windows too. Even had an MSI installer, as well as an npm one.

Seems to produce performing code.

The Elm Architecture which is like React but much better because you don't have to think about immutability. You cannot mutate a reference to begin with. Mutation means new reference in Elm.
Yup, hi.
I don't think there are scientists who deny past or present climate change. Do you mean to disparage the many scientists who research the causes of past climate change, and who hypothesize that the current changes are, like all past changes, caused by other factors than the man-made, industrial-age rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide?

Why should it be a blow?

The fact is that if they want to support Windows 7, 8.1 and macOS it naturally cannot be kept as UWP app, as their infrastructure requires Windows 10 features.
I feel like this would go about as well as BBM's Android release a few years back. Non-iphone users would use it for a bit then switch back off as the novelty of "yet another ecosystem messaging app" wears off.

The proper way to do this is to convince people to switch to an app that integrates other messaging platforms as well: people switch to Signal and stay on it because they send all their normal SMSes run though the app as well. Then as their friends switch to Signal their conversations are painlessly migrated, everything looks the same, you just get a bonus "lock" icon.
I don't go anymore and here are the reasons why:

1. Arbitrage gone. The China arb on price has largely closed (as it should have) and its not a viable business strategy anymore for the markets I serve.

2. Vendor disinterest. Again, as it should have, the domestic Chinese market has grown such that export business in my markets is more trouble than its worth to my Chinese vendors. Those who do export find it easier to trade with Russia, China, Pakistan, and SE Asia where the technical requirements are fewer.

3. Pollution. I found myself getting sicker each time I went. I'm sensitive to smog, smoke, etc. It just became too painful.

4. Principle. As I get older I have an increasing need to trade with partners who stand for something more than profit. I want to do business with people who believe in making the world a cleaner, safer, more verdant and just place. China isn't there yet. Mercantilism, tribalism and ambition remain the dominant philosophies. I wish for Chinese leadership in a better world in my lifetime, and I'm realistic about its likelihood.

5. Hostility. I maintain a few good personal relationships where I still trade effectively. Those aside, China's prosperity and domestic rhetoric has not resulted in a kinder and gentler approach to Westerners, particularly those of us in America. I see this situation further deteriorating in the coming months and years.
"This is the emissions index of an electric car, given the average amount of emissions generated by the production of the electricity that powers it."

Does this factor in locale? Because electricity generation in NZ is 80% renewable, and if we take the US generation ratio (I think something like 20% renewable), it paints a very wrong picture.

If it does take into account locale, kudos!
Note the phrasing, that's an important part of what I'm referring to: they're talking about the icon instead of the speed directly.

It's a ludicrous thing to say because the parts of the bill people are concerned with (technical assistance orders, ie: forcing companies to backdoor products) have no possible way to be acted on in the time period they are suggesting. So it is pretty much bald faced lying. And then you have to ask, if they are straight up lying about this, what are the real motivations? If we are lucky it's pure petty politics with a benign obliviousness to the fact they have just breached a major waterline in how far Western democracies are willing to break the internet. Hopefully we are that lucky.

git has its problems, but it's a consistent, centralized (in the sense of origin/repo), well known set of problems.

That's why you should always use salt with your hash.

Unsalted, your password hash =

Hash({{Your Password}})

The attacker can brute force it from a dictionary or stepping through characters (possibly from another breach somewhere, or a silly password like boobies123).

Salted hashes are way more secure:

Hash({{Your Password}} + {{Secret}})

Now the attacker has to guess an extra secret phrase, which is often really long, that was fed into the hash function along with the user's password. And due to the beauty of one way hash functions both salted and unsalted hashes use the same amount of bytes in the DB... It's a no brainer.
> hire and fire is also a great way to show the team that you don't know what you're doing

I wish more people understood that lithium and aluminum are transported almost entirely around the world on tanker fuel before they're made into a product - and then it's STILL cheaper to make new batteries than to recycle them.

I don't know enough to say the true impact is different than the stated impact or anything like that. But I have my suspicions that something isn't what it seems with lithium production.
Wonder how long it'll take for the Aust branches of the US copyright cartel to start demanding access to "pirates" comms through this.

From memory, the Aust internet filter was originally introduced using similar excuses. eg stop terrorist recruitment, pedos, etc.

The copyright cartel was having "pirate" sites blocked not long after, and has been expanding it's approach since.

Seems like a similar play book in action with this.
Depends what you mean by "safe".

Gold is considered a commodity investment, and shares the high volatility that is common in this class. (https://view.ingwb.com/sector-and-volatility-commodities)

Gold does have unique historic status as a currency or a backer of currency. I'm not in 100% agreement, but this does mean some see gold as a hedge against large-scale financial trouble.

However, that same historic status has made this asset in particular vulnerable to investment scams. (https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2016/gold-coin-i...) This is one caution about this investment that you don't have to worry about as much compared to if you invest in, say, pork futures.

I would argue the "safest investment" is a diversified portfolio, personally.
