OK, so, if this is what it is, then my question from earlier can be answered, I suppose. It is with FTS3, and the new defensive mode should be able to prevent it (there are also bug fixes to prevent it, even if you do not use the defensive mode). I have not used any of the FTS extensions, but in future I might. Now I can know what is the vulnerability.

(I do not use Chrome or Chromium, although this article is good to me anyways since it explains what the vulnerability is, since I do use SQLite.)
That was true of Solaris too, and they managed to work through that.

This is what is in your hot water tank right now.

If your water heater is malfunctioning and not heating up all the way to 140 degrees but it's still heating up to e.g. 100 degrees then it's a breeding ground for listeria. The temperature difference changes the solubility of minerals and salts dissolved in it as well as changing how quickly everything even slightly volatile leaches into the water.
They're not identical markets.

Both Japan and the EU (Germany with the world's largest trade surplus) have larger export markets in relation to the size of their economies than the US does. That's also one reason the US runs perpetually large trade deficits with Japan and the EU.

US exports to China haven't gone up meaningfully since 2013 (in fact they declined 2013 vs 2015/2016). That's not the case with the EU and Japan. Has nothing to do with the trade war, which didn't exist in 2013-2016, it has to do with what (and where) the US manufactures and exports.

It's also worth noting that Chinese manufacturing is to one extent or another a representation (proxy) for the US consumer economy, since major US corporations utilize China for so much manufacturing (part of the where and why reference in the last paragraph). US companies make products in China and then sell them to US consumers, which complicates the import/export discussion. This is pointed out constantly in critical discussions (eg about the environment or labor & wages), and ignored in discussions like these where it's an inconvenient fact. Over time the EU and Japan have outsourced less of their major manufacturing to China than what the US has.
Wrong. China is benefitting from an uptick in orders due to tariffs. Also, US exports are down, despite your attempt to write the dip off: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/arti...

And that’s from back in October. It’s a loss no matter how you spin it.
I agree. The main place I find -Werror to be valuable is on the CI server, where you're checking that committed code compiles cleanly on your target platforms.
> standard input-output RNNs have to take in part of the data with every time step

Well they can but I don't see they why they have to. And couldn't your network also take input and give output for all times?

> First, we do parameterize a theta that changes with time, using a hypernet.

Ah I see. Did you end up using it in the final model? I don't see that in the mnist example, but I could be missing it as I only skimmed the code.

> An accidental package is not "unordered merchandise"

I'm not sure what you mean by “accidental package”; specifically what kind of accident is involved.

> If it's got your address on it, but someone else's name

Then it isn't addressed to you (the verb address and noun address are related, but not in the use directly corresponding), and isn't what I was talking about.

> If it's got your name and address on it, but the company meant to send it to someone else named dragonwriter instead of you, it's also not your package

This is both generally incorrect and objectively unworkable (it would require an inquiry into the mental state of the sender before one could decide what to do with a package.) There are special cases where things would be different (e.g., there actually is another dragonwriter at the address, who actually did order the merchandise, in which case it is, obviously, not unordered merchandise that they have caused to be delivered to the first dragonwriter. But that's not even an accident or mistake on the sender's part.)

As well as the statute referenced above, the FTC provides clear and explicit guidance: if you receive it, and you didn't order it, it's yours and you may keep it. Intent of the sender is not an issue.

https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0181-unordered-merchan...

“Q. Am I obligated to return or pay for merchandise I never ordered?

“A. No. If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift.”

Saying I'm wrong, doesn't make it so. Your claim - that US exports are "eating dirt" - is unsupported by the actual export numbers. US Exports are down a few billion dollars only vs 2017, and they're up vs 2015 and 2016. In a $20.5 trillion economy it's entirely meaningless to see a $3 or $5 billion drop in exports to China and doesn't square with your outlandish claim about dirt eating.

China is benefitting from what's called front-loading, which is a temporary bump in exports to beat the implementation of tariffs. It has been widely discussed in dozens of business publications over the last few months (including some breathless articles about ships desperately racing to beat the tariff dates), there's nothing surprising about it.
Very cool! I just skimmed the series and sat with Ep1 a bit. I will work through it this coming week and see how it lands.

Swartz was not in eighth grade. He was 26 years old. You would not have been tried the same as him. You seem to have pirated a single song, whereas Swartz downloaded over a million articles.

But really, all of those differences don't really matter. The most important difference is: Would you kill yourself instead of going to jail for just 6 months? Maybe you would. I don't know for certain. But if the US's booming prison industry tells me anything, it's that you (like most people) probably wouldn't kill yourself instead of taking a 6 month sentence.
Having had a decent go at all three major OSes (windows, osx and Linux) in the past few years, I've found all of them to have a whole bunch of annoyances that stop me being able to do what I want, how I want it.
> What happens is that, because of untruthful reporting in US media, people in US does not know or understand what's going on in China.

So, in your view:

1. what's the real story about what's going on in China that's being missed in "untruthful" articles like this, and

2. who's reporting that story "truthfully"?
If I was Microsoft I'd rewrite windows on top of Linux but keep API for apps the same before it's too late

Mac is used by most tech companies because of terminal and tools it can run. But Linux can run all of them so windows built on Linux will have best of both worlds.

"Organized Democracy" by Melanin 9: `youtube-dl -f mp4 'QPls-Gi_4Ig'` speaks to this very much.
This.

"Human Rights" means some humans have a right to treat others as property.

Look at this from the article:

>Universal health coverage is built on principles of equity and fairness, with health services allocated according to people’s needs and the health system financed according to people’s ability to pay.

That is straight up communist manifesto "For each according to their need, and each ability to pay".

What this means in practice is everyone will get equally awful healthcare and people will be sent to jail and fined for not "being generous enough" with your taxes

The poor don’t have savings. If you spend as much or more than you make inflation benefits you by devaluing the debt you owe.

If you have a large 401k on the other hand it deflates the value of your retirement savings. You may have to work in old age.
The article doesn’t affirm what you are implying. I don’t think its a blame game when you have a country to feed. But long story short - USA will definitely be the first one to blink. China today is pretty much like Russia in the old days. Country was poor and in debt, their people starve or froze to death in millions and still praised their leader. This may as well happen in China today, and noone will blink. Meanwhile in USA I don’t think even average size group of people will allow the country to slide into full blown depression China-style, because some dude in White House wants to play a War game.
That’s pretty good!

Even shared source would be great. You can see the code, you can audit it for security or privacy issues, disable parts you don't like and distribute modified versions to people who already have a licensed copy of Windows.

That won't dry up Microsoft's revenue stream, and is a great middle ground between open and closed source.
I'm sure you're not. For me it's uncomfortable but bearable at room temperature. Much more comfortable after 12s or so in the microwave.
Other "alternative" compilers like tcc have pulled it off, supposedly without patching the kernel, so it is doable.
NT has the capabilities to run different API "Personalities". This was pretty major. WIN32 was only one of the APIs NT supported. IBM also did the same with Workplace OS, but it failed.
NT could have been a lot of things, if the competitive landscape was different.

From Wikipedia:

A main design goal of NT was hardware and software portability. Various versions of NT family operating systems have been released for a variety of processor architectures, initially IA-32, MIPS, and DEC Alpha, with PowerPC, Itanium, x86-64 and ARM supported in later releases. The idea was to have a common code base with a custom Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for each platform. However, support for MIPS, Alpha, and PowerPC was later dropped in Windows 2000. Broad software compatibility was achieved with support for several API "personalities", including Windows API, POSIX,[11] and OS/2 APIs[12] – the latter two were phased out starting with Windows XP.[13] Partial MS-DOS compatibility was achieved via an integrated DOS Virtual Machine – although this feature is being phased out in the x86-64 architecture.[14] NT supported per-object (file, function, and role) access control lists allowing a rich set of security permissions to be applied to systems and services.

The compiler assumes that you have given it a valid C program, and optimizes accordingly.

A valid C program is not allowed to fall off the end of a non-void function without returning a value if the return value is used. This means that if the optimizer sees a function which will always do this, it "knows" that you never call it (as if you did, your program would be invalid). Since the function is never called, there's no point in emitting any code for the body of the function. It still needs to emit a small stub, as you could legally take the address of it.

As it so happens your program does call this function. This makes your program not a valid C program, and so the standard says nothing about how it should behave.
Sometimes this is true, sometimes not. It depends on how many blocks of memory you allocate and for what purposes, I think. For short-lived programs it can make sense that some things are never freed (they will be automatically freed when the program terminates), but still there might be some things which should be managed anyways. It also depends on the program, and on other things.

I am quite proudly a lag-behind when it comes to tech within the last decade. The rest of you can go on ahead and suffer all the horrible bugs that would have been found in QA testing, if the testers had been given adequate time and resources. I'll happily arrive after you're done and use the finished product.

Also, I've never updated Android OS on a device - every phone and/or tablet I have, has the version of Android it shipped with; whatever that might be. The same goes for iOS, mostly. My old iPad, I knew better than to update the OS. The newer one, I've made the big mistake of upgrading to iOS 12. I'm sorely tempted at the moment to make a list of programs on the device and reset it to get it back to decency.

My feeling is, people are allowing the tech companies to release buggy software, they're still buying it, they're still paying for hardware using it and supporting bug-ridden versions. We need to shift the mainstream - and the business world - back to demanding software that works and keeps on working reliably for the life of the business.
The "bootstrapable.org" project that OP refers to is an interesting practical result from the infamous "Reflections on Trusting Trust."[1] If you have the source compiler, which is itself bootstrapped from source, then you effectively sidestep the problem brought up in the paper -- someone sneaks in a boobytrapped compiler somewhere in the process resulting in a chain of tainted compilers.

This is the kind of work that seems pretty thankless, but I'm glad someone is doing it.

"The Japanese language is a very interesting and unique human language. With over 250m speakers and a rich linguistic history, everything from its orthography to grammar to pronunciation provides interesting areas to explore further."

At least now the reader can ask, "what makes the orthography so interesting"? To which a deeper conversation can be had about its symbolic writing method and efforts to romanize and digitize it efficiently.

Now the reader has more reason to check out the book with just 4 or 5 sentences of info. Its like an outline vs a headline.

I'm not often SQL wrangling these days, so you are probably more aware than I am on intricacies, but often you can wrap subqueries like:

SELECT stuff FROM tables WHERE conditions AND table.field IN (
SELECT othertable.otherfield FROM othertables WHERE more_conditions...)
);

IMHO this reads far more easily and both depth and order of execution are clear. I guess at this point in my career (20 years in) my bias is toward code I can walk away from for years and come back to easily.

Me too. I gave up after a couple hundred pages. At times interesting, but too unfocused, not to mention daunting due to the extreme length. Note that none of the commenters here have been able to supply a much more thorough synopsis than “debt has taken lots of different forms in different societies throughout history, including our own today.”

By contrast, I found Graeber’s follow up collection “The Utopia of Rules” startlingly provocative and a super fun read - one of my favorite books. I think Graeber’s divergent writing style and argumentative form work better in the essay format.

The problem is that if everyone were to try to collect all the debts owed to them, there would not be enough currency to fulfill it all. We freely create debt, but the result is a deficit that can only be resolved by creating enough value to offset the debt. And if that is somehow infeasible, economic collapse occurs.
If you look at the graph I provided and zoom out to the 5 year chart, you would see a fairly large drop in Chinese imports around 2015-16. Part of that might have been due to commodity price drops, but I suspect the correlation of US export to China with Chinese total import is higher than you gave credit for, in a normal year that is.

I think the demand would come after it gets built. Even bigger would be demand for Bern/Zurich and Basel/Zurich in 30min, bringing these cities comfortably into commute distance. People do that today but only if they really must.

Why would anyone do what he's doing? There is no way to be be in the public eye and manage this and be total.

Different tracks for sure. The world gave a smart kid nothing but terror. He said he'll fix it AND leave at the same time. A mix of PTSD, pathalogical demand avoidance, giftedness and opportunity.

No one that had a brain would want the guys job. I'm not using it as an excuse, he's not a savior. He is doing neat shit, but he wants an unreal hat trick and is just the same as the rest of us on this rock. Even if/when he leaves, it'll all still be with him.

Malloc doesn't interact with the kernel at all. The kernel sees pages, not the data structures that malloc manages. The kernel doesn't even know whether you free()'d the memory by the time the process exits.

There is exactly zero difference from the operating system's perspective between freeing and not freeing the memory before program termination (except that one might have a higher peak memory usage).

The classic implementations of several standard Unix utilities deliberately never deallocated memory for performance reasons. If there was a problem with this practice, I would expect Bell Labs--of all places--to know not to do it.
The gap is what matters, not the year over year totals. Trump’s stated objective was to lower the trade gap and he (so far) is failing. Front loading is evidence that US demand is as high as ever. US companies have no real options other than Chinese suppliers and that’s why they’re buying as much as possible ahead of Trump’s tarrifs, which only really punish US buyers and the end consumers.

The fact that China can use its currency to fight this trade war is only more evidence that the US is being outmaneuvered.

You can spin it all day long, but the US soybean farmers and steelworkers are not winning this trade war.

Good points.

On indexing, I'd question if that's all that search engines do. They used to "only index" (in reality, "simple" index), but doesn't the complexity of current promotion/demotion algorithms go beyond that (given the biases those algorithms encode)? Might that cross the line? Do these algorithms encode a sort-of editorial policy?

Also, agree in principle re: classification timeouts and mandatory review, though the sheer number of state/corporate secrets might make that impractical.
