It's made up of different laws and so on. There's nothing stopping anyone writing it all down on a single piece of paper, if you just want to record it all like that (although you'll probably need some legal scholarship to decide what is and is not "constitution"), on a single piece of paper. But it wouldn't hold any particular force.

I suppose if you wanted to make one new legally binding document making up the constitution, the UK could cancel all those laws, recreate the bits of them that make up the constitution in one single place, and then make new laws to fill in all the gaps from all the cancelled bits that weren't part of the constitution. Some of the UK constitution is procedure and books of commentary and theory, so those are going to be awkward to rewrite and put on a single piece of paper, but it could be done.

But why?
There is a pattern of designing for the most niche use cases and imposing complexity on everyone by default. Shouldn't it be the other way round? Letting those with advanced needs accept the complexity? Presumably they have the know how.

There are multiple examples of this including the binary journal for those with extreme auditing needs, optimizing for laptop wifi networks when Linux is predominantly used in servers, the ironically named 'predictable network names' that are anything but predictable. And these issues being hand-waved away because of some fringe use case with the additional overhead nonchalantly imposed on all users.

Samsung's Dex experience is really impressive and speaks to how much longer than everyone else they've been working on a mobile docking solution.

In the past the Android phones weren't fast enough and the software was lacking.

I've been developing on i.MX6 for the past 6-7 years and it's been the easiest Linux processor to work with out of the lot (looking at you, Renesas!)

And there's no shame with using a processor/RAM/eMMC combo on a SOM, either. Doing the high speed DDR layout on 6 or 8 layers of PCB is not a task for novices. Saving the low-speed interface work for a larger 2-layer carrier PCB makes the project go really smoothly (just watch the EMI off those right angle card-edge connectors!)

There are plenty of companies selling the IMX in all kinds of configurations for really decent volume prices. TechNexion and Boundary have been my favorites so far.
I think kids absorb a lot of the pressure their parents are in. people today deal with a lot more insecurity (jobs/financial etc) than in the 80ies or before, while the leisure / off-time now is reduced to being on a screen. Add the screen time the kids themselves are exposed to (minus the exercise they used to have before the "digital revolution") got to add up. Looking at what many eat today (fast or pre-cooked stuff rather than home-cooked and more sugar is gotta have some effect). Hyper-connectivity is killing us I think.
Since we are no longer ruling out expensive solutions, we'll just have our own chip foundry using open source IP cores and cameras everywhere.

Yeah. This is an issue that a lot of folks cant seem to grasp. For almost all Americans this is the best time in our history to be alive. One could argue Obama's years were better for some people groups but generally things are better than they've ever been for every single type of person.

The Biggest Myths
What if one of the proponents of those projects is a guy who pretends to be Satoshi Nakamoto? When we all know he isn't, and know and he can't prove it. Should that affect the credibility of a project?
I kind of cheated for my cameras. I simply put them in the window next to the front door and hid the power cable in the adjacent closet.

Because they're behind glass, using the built-in IR illumination is out of the question. Instead I use an LED bulb outside to provide light for the camera to see even in day mode.

It's not ideal by any measure, but it works OK enough.

If it were an option, I'd run PoE to proper outdoor cameras.
I'd not heard of Chariot before this. Was it widely used? It looked like Uber meets carpooling, or perhaps some sort of fancy work shuttle — and work shuttle companies open and close all the time, so I don't see what's newsworthy.

They don't state why they're closing down, so I'm a bit puzzled on this one.
> Prior to the process metadata caching, you could cause journald to go absolutely nuts querying the sending processes metadata from /proc by sending it messages full of newlines. Every newline-separated field is treated as a separate message with its own metadata to be acquired. The routines for fetching all that stuff from /proc granularly allocated and freed the data via libc as well, it was very painful.

This seems more like an indictment of journald's architecture than an argument against the cost of mallocs per-se
Games with Improbable's cloud technology in 'legal limbo' since Unity dispute
Well, I've used both extensively, and they are good at different things. Unreal is far better IF you fit cleanly into one of their templates (first person, third person, etc). Superior renderer with great built-in post effects, FAR better multiplayer support, better materials/shader editor. However, if you try to do something substantially different than they have imagined, it can get ugly very fast. The C++ used is strange, with all kinds of weird GC macros strewn about. As a programmer, I hate blueprints. I wish there was a scripting language alternative. And god help you if you actually want to modify the engine code substantially, it's a monster (not poorly done, just sprawling and extremely complex). Look at the nvidia gameworks integration, it's all these forks of the engine built by random people, it's a mess.

Unity shines in its flexibility, easy scripting, and fast workflow. I can whip up a script in C# very quickly that does exactly what I want. With that scripting, I can have a lot of control how the engine and rendering and post effects work, much more than Unreal. Prefab workflow makes much more sense than anything in Unreal blueprints. Mecanim is not as fully featured in some ways as Unreal's animation system, but with the Humanoid skeleton, animations can be used easily on different models. With Unreal, you need to use retargeting, which is painful and can have serious problems if the models are even slightly different in size.

Had a brief look at the source code. It's Java EE based and they seem to be using JBoss as application server.

I haven't spent much time looking at the code, but it's definitely quite neat and well written, with separation of concerns and test coverage.

Frontend seems to be using JSF which is built into Java EE.

0xAA, 0xA5, 0x5A, 0x55 are generally good values.

They tend to be low-probability values so if you get two of them together it's almost always a bug. They don't tend to collide with other things and are far enough away from overflow that they don't accidentally get masked by an off-by-one bug. They have interleaved 0's and 1's so that if you get a bit error, it sticks out. They're also obviously different enough that if they get copied, they kind of stick out.

I tend to "initialize" my data to these by default. They also tend to be my go to for "deinitializing" data.

It's remarkable how often I catch bugs in my C code simply by scanning RAM for those values.

Two days shows effects. 30 days? For a novice? No way.
Well no. Say I am a burglar and simply try to find out in a particular geographic area cameras that I can gain access to and then monitor those cameras in some way.

Let's say further I get some mechanical turk like crew to monitor (stop laughing I can hear you ..) w/o telling them why I am doing this. I social engineer the reason and pay them to tell me for 'market research' etc or some other stupid cover story.

Anyway my point is that you had said you didn't care if people heard what you are saying. That assumes then that you think it's possible for someone to hear you and gain access. Now you may be thinking that person is not close enough to do you harm but is that a safe assumption?

At the office we have a full NVR system and multiple cameras. Fwiw the professional installer left that wide open to the point where we don't even allow any access (other than the stuff that the Chinese have already enabled that probably is sending things out). The default setup was insecure out of the box and nobody has had the time to look or lock it down.

The steam engine example isn't a good one. The whole point of patents is to create a temporary period of monopoly that enables investment to be recovered, to enable a subsequent period of wide adoption. If the prospect of the temporary monopoly convinced investors to invest in the steam engine in the first place, and the inventor did recover his investment, then the subsequent commoditization of the invention when the patents expired is exactly how the system is supposed to work.

The history of technology repeatedly shows that (temporary) monopolies are good things. The transistor was invented by the AT&T monopoly. GUIs, email, and networking were bankrolled by Xerox's patent monopoly on copiers. (PARC declined almost immediately after a DOJ suit forced Xerox to license its patents to Japanese competitors.) Google's panoply of innovations is bankrolled by its near-monopoly on search. By contrast, commoditization tends to kill innovation in an industry. PCs have languished for two decades now thanks to a highly competitive environment where companies like Lenovo struggle to eke out a few percent in profit margins.

This is very worrying because, according to Dr. Gabor Mate, there is strong evidence that stress in kids impacts brain development and leads to conditions like ADD and addiction.

Dr. Mate's claims resonate with my personal experience (stress and lack of emotional support as a kid leading to ADD and other psychological problems). I recently found out about Dr. Mate's work, and if you are familiar with this work I would be interested in hearing your opinion on it.

They're separate processes. Logger crashes do not take down init.

Whether you are or not, you are (inadvertently) repeating misinformation about it.
Remember, you can make all the money in the world but people will still hate you if you are a lying douchebag.

I think as nerds we have a proclivity to "scheming", looking at the world as if it can be hacked with some cleverness. But we are social animals, and a balanced approach will yield better results than simply destroying other people's lives and emotional stability by lying and cheating, scheming and stealing.

Recently saw this parody of Zuck on Reddit [1], which is inflammatory but in my opinion, called for. When you open yourself up to fierce judgment, you shouldnt be surprised when it becomes much more exaggerated than justified.

So no realtime chat at all? What do you use to communicate, instead?
From a technical stand point I agree. But the unit needs to open a connection to my phone, which is going to require reaching beyond my home network. It's hard to deliver a product to an end user this way, so in these cases the cloud means 'we manage the hard part for you'. So the cloud isn't a requirement, for well... us? But the average consumer, yes.
I'm mostly playing devil's advocate here. I'd love a version of Ring where I could easily eliminate the middle man; but I recognize the value in what they've done. How we protect privacy sometimes seems to be an argument of confidence (Our own home network security VS a vendors), there are arguments to be made about centralizing some of it?

This article isn't much without the accompanying model.
CouchDB "replication" was designed to be "master-master" (or "no master" sort of) where replication is not a coordinated process but a distributed push/pull of concurrent revisions with basic conflict resolution rules.

Whereas, Mongo only built support for classic RDMS-style replication where one database serves as the master or primary, and any number of secondaries can try to keep up with it.

It's a bit like SVN versus git. Mongo when replicated still has the SVN centralized mentality, whereas CouchDB is a lot more like git.

Compare Ref: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/replication/intro.html

I think that putting a hard limit on alloca allocation size, somewhere around 1-10 Kb, could help prevent this type of exploits. Also, it is possible to write a function that would choose between alloca() and malloc()/free() depending on the size.

I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean. Nobody has ever fought a war for 'benevolence'. It's a silly concept. If you know anything of history, you'd also know that WWII was not fought for 'benevolence'.
>I don't know why people are still using unity instead of UE4 except for historical reasons where users of the engine are hesitant to switch and have to relearn some things.

Unity had their brief shining moment in the sun from 2015-2017 when they were supporting the growing indie scene on Steam, their VR was lightyears ahead of UE4, and UE4 still hadn't gone free-to-use. But with all that Fortnite money now and their new business model, I've no doubt UE4 is going to be the best possible game engine moving forward.
I used Chariot a bit a couple years ago. Sad to see it go. For people who haven't heard of it, it worked like this: I live in SF, and worked in Redwood City. Every day, there was some type of large van that would pick me up a couple blocks from where I lived and dropped me off a couple blocks from where I worked. So it was like a middle ground between public transportation and Uber / Lyft.

Sadly the line would still be blurry.

Fully clothed photos of kids are CP depending on the site where you find them for example. It is "easy" to block everything that could be CP, but that would include photos of children in diapers on Facebook posted by their parents.

It is easy to classify the more horrible stuff, but as soon as you make a line you can be sure some shithead will search for a way to blur it.

In more general terms this is why many things should be at least a bit subjective. Clean-cut definition are too easy to abuse.

Transparent de-escalation is the solution, not the age-old rhetoric of 'staying ahead in the arms-race'.

_Most_ people regardless of country of residence or origin want a peaceful and fulfilled, free life. You can never please everyone but arguing from basis of 'fear of the other' is a bit disingenuous and leads to these literal arms races.

That's not to say defense spending isn't important, but it has to be stressed with the word 'defense' and with an inherent bias towards security and safety.

I used Chariot for about a year commuting from the Marina district of SF to Caltrain. It was basically an adult version of a soccer mom taking the neighborhood kids to practice in a mini van. It's definitely an improvement over taking MUNI...but its not any better than using UberPool. It wasn't 'fancy' by any means. You were just crammed into a sprinter van.

As far as I remember, UberPool either wasn't available or popular at the time Chariot started. Obviously the concept of Chariot wouldn't seem viable at all if you tried to do it in 2019.
I’ve seen them around NYC, downloaded the app and waited for them to expand their routes but they never did.
I’m not sure why. Seems like a good idea - but I suppose it may have been a challenge to compete with the wide variety of services, including public transportation, that are available in the city.
