Intercepting a fax is pretty tricky, you either have to physically break into the phone network (in which case all calls are insecure), or you have to have the sender misdial and happen to send to the attacker’s number.

That’s sounds far more secure than typical network based communication.

That’s precisely my experience. I have “hiking buddies,” but they remain just that unless I make an effort to connect more (which I’m generally not great at). It’s not that we never talk about things other than hiking—we certainly do, but the fact that the group is assembled for the purpose of the particular outdoor adventure still prevents there from being much organic significant friendship building.

It probably doesn’t help that a lot of my hiking and camping trips are a few hours’ drive away from home and thus tend to draw people who live fairly far away from me.

Making mistakes in programming can get very expensive, as in millions of dollars. It's not a profession for the careless. Making mistakes in accounting can get you an audit, or even charged with a crime. You won't last long in carpentry if you persist in cutting boards too short. Having to hire an additional person just to clean up after their mistakes is expensive.

And flipping a sign? One thing to be learned in solving problems with math is, once you have the solution, working the problem from solution back to the initial conditions is a check. Another thing to be learned is to recognize when your solution is "unreasonable", like momentum not being conserved. Not doing these checks means you've got more learning to do, or are lazy. Neither is acceptable. And partial credit doesn't mean jack when you've got angry customers.

When I began programming, I discovered I was prone to making certain kinds of errors. I learned to use techniques that minimized the risk of those errors, and learned to specially check for them. I.e. don't make excuses, find ways to compensate. Your example of using a programming language to help compensate is along those lines.

The super rich don't really care much about the cost of the house they live in. They just pay what they have to pay to get the house they want. Overall this cost represents a small percentage of their net worth. That's why they don't care if it's over priced or not.

Any other house in any other market where they don't personally want to live get's a different assessment.

I don’t think this is a great explanation. If this was driven by income inequality and investment dollars looking for investments we would expect the individual home ownership rate to fall as large investment funds bought up homes as investments. Instead the homeownership rate has been climbing for the last 2.5 years.

I believe the better explanation is the Federal government. Both in the form of extraordinary easy monetary policy and in the form of extraordinarily generous mortgage lending terms in its role as far and away the largest owner/guarantor of residential mortgages.

>or stop associating with Australians at all.

As an Australian, I hope people do this.

Internationally speaking, the tech community is not very good at drawing lines in the sand, we tend to want to please everyone.

I was really hoping that when it was shown how much the US was spying on traffic crossing it's borders, other countries would modify their routes to ensure their nations data didn't transit the US unless it was terminating there, but nope, didn't happen. Brazil talked about it but didn't do it.

Anyway, this is another rubicon moment. If we don't make this explode in the Australian governments face, then the US and UK will follow suit after the testing period is over. It's really important for the international software community to reject this utterly.

Start pulling out of Australia now and make it painful, or this will happen in countries it's impossible for you to pull out of.

What really gets me is the “for profit”, especially since these are organ donors.

They get their “merchandise” for free from the last goodwill of people. If not, apparently they’ll offer free cremation to families to convince them to agree to donating the organs— since they have to dispose of the corpse anyway this is probably just an expense they’d have to pay regardless.

And then they sell this donation for profit. This is baffling.
This is not a quote from the book being reviewed, this is a quote from the review itself summarizing the book's stories. Fuller context:

"Representing a decade of journalism and essential reading for those concerned with identity in America today, Yang’s essays range from profiles of pickup artists to critiques of campus activism, but they tend to center on those — often Asian, usually male — who find themselves excluded from certain intangible perquisites of American life: love, success, security, and belonging."

So in context, you are asking for data... which would be asking "what are the subjects of each story in the book". You seem to be confusing the stories in a book of articles and essays with a statistical work about something else, or maybe you meant to ask a different question?

Really, if you're talking three years ago, React was already widespread. The main change is that Angular.js back then was still widespread as well, and that Vue wasn't really.

Sure, things have changed (e.g. TypeScript is far more accessible today), but if you've been doing React for the past few years, the changes haven't been that drastic, and primarily for the better (e.g. Create React App, that mainly allowed you to forget things, rather than having to learn new things).

My father had one of these back in the day for the BBC Micro.

I remember struggling with painfully slow screen dump routines (for printing an image of the screen onto paper) before someone had the insight that by printing the images sideways you could read a byte of horizontal scanline data from memory and throw it directly at the printer, which treated it as a vertical column of dots; this meant you didn't need the painfully expensive step of rotating each 8x8 character cell.

Simple in hindsight, but it took ages to realise, and made screen dumps so much simpler and faster.

I don't think it can be. Everything irc does is better done centralized. The big problem is leaking of user iP's. Ip's regardless of how they work technically are treated by police and courts as a unique identifier. As sad as it may be, Discord thrives far more than IRC ever did for that very good reason. All content has to be proxied, and that costs big bucks.

One way around it would be to stick to embedding of content only from a small number of known sites, but even then things like YouTube can still show geography of viewers iirc. Plus if those sites get tired of your bandwidth they can just block you, no negotiation of money if you don't have big bucks.

But regardless of how it's done, when you host your own actual server, you're now liable. You're identifiable, and In the U.S. identity is all that's required for any civil case, which could be thrown at you by anyone for any reason. When you host yourself you're taking on legal liability for your users, too, such as underage users that get access to pornography through it.

> Greeks and Romans were not at all "white" by modern standards. Not only was skin color not a social construct at the time, but most Mediterranean peoples had darker, bronzed tones.

You can see what the upper class looked like in Roman Egypt for yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits

By modern physiological standards, the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Carthaginians, Persians, Hebrews, Babylonians, etc., were all white. They're still white now. This is why the formal term used in the US is "Caucasian", named after the Georgians and Armenians who a (European) anthropologist felt were the epitome of white beauty.

(Fun fact: the Romans would insult someone who they felt was lacking in the basics of humanity by saying that that person had been born not of a human mother, but directly from the Caucasus mountains. "Caucasian" probably wouldn't have caught on with them.)

There is another modern standard, which people don't like to talk about explicitly, reasoning as follows:

1. Whites are on top of the world.

2. Arabs don't look like they're on top of the world.

3. Arabs must not be white.

But this system of labeling people "white" isn't useful for much. This is how you get people who are upset that a group consisting of 40% East Asians is "lily-white".
History is repeating itself. The world leaders were too slow to deal with Hitler, just like they'll be too slow to deal with Xi Jinping. Trauma of past wars, fear for the economy, and underestimation of their true intentions.

Well, not many DC emulators will run my code anymore, and eventually none will. :P On the DC, I used to use serial port with a USB adapter that manages 384k baud, but upgraded to a BBA several years ago.

I really, really, don't like the idea of doing a bunch of development on an emulator, then finding out it doesn't work right on real hardware (either not at all or with unexpectedly terrible performance) and having to figure out what all is going wrong. Doing it all on a real console means you find out immediately where any problems arise.

The Dreamcast tries to pretend to be like a PC, but treating it like one will seriously limit performance. The SH-4's terrible cache needs to be babied to get the most out of it, and there's a lot of unusual things you can do with the 3D hardware since it works very differently than other GPUs.

You can definitely do assembly on the DC, and it's really important for performance critical code. GCC can't use the SH-4's SIMD instructions effectively, so you have to use at least inline asm or true assembly. I'm not totally sure what you mean by "in very logical ways". I guess optimal SH-4 code doesn't look logical! Rendering-type code is harder on the SH-4 than the SH-2/3 because it's superscalar and FPU instructions have longer latency than ALU instructions. You have to spend more time figuring out how to hide latencies, and software pipelining becomes more important for performance. Optimal SH-4 assembler code ends up much messer looking than optimal SH-2/3 code.

For example, normalizing an array of 3D vectors in C, using inline assembly to use the inner product (FIPR) and square root reciprocal (FSRRA) instructions, you'd be lucky to get around 24-28 cycles per vector (it'd be even worse if you used pure vanilla C). But with software pipelined assembly, I can manage 8 cycles per vector.

But it's much more complex, not just because it's in assembler. The optimized main loop juggles normalizing 4 vectors at the same time (The loop is 32 cycles, with 4 vectors it averages 8 cycles per vector), and there's code to prepare the loop and exit the loop, and special case code for if there are fewer than 4 vectors to transform. The resulting machine code for the entire asm version is probably around 10 times the simple version.

Another example would be transforming a bunch of 4D vectors by a 4x4 matrix. C with inline asm will take about 16 cycles per vector, but optimized pure asm can do 4 cycles.

A 3D rendering engine I'm working on for the DC does software vertex shaders by basically copy & pasting optimized assembly loops into a single function and adding a bit of glue code between them.

> hence my socialist comment - moving money from corporations to consumers.

Thats is such a bizarre comment. No corporation has a right to make money, they have to earn it by providing a valuable service. If that service can be provided more efficiently another way, tough. That's what market forces are all about.

Yes the energy company commissioning the battery is publicly owned. You could squint and see some socialism in that. I've no argument there. However it's doing this because it is exposed to market forces, and overspending on peak power provision. Characterising responding to that market stimulus with capital investment is I think going a step too far.

Look at it another way. Is exposing public companies to market forces and having them react to those stimuli more socialist than protecting them from markets, or less socialist? Is it closer to pure capitalism or further away?
