Where did you report it, was it acknowledged, and was it ultimately fixed?

Having ran a large bug bounty program before, I can tell you a few things could have happened here...

* Issue was mis-triaged, or deemed to be very low impact - Maybe it depended on a very specific set of circumstances that was not expected to commonly occur. Usually these get silently routed to QA to investigate.

* Issue was completely overlooked - Unlikely, but security@ is a ticket queue too. Sometimes a misclick happens, or a spam filter picks it up. For every valid report, you can get 100-1000 unrelated messages.

* Issue was already known - Not good to silently ignore, but if it was already reported and in the pipeline, it probably got closed as a duplicate. Companies don't like to discuss vulnerabilities that are being actively fixed.
And some people are better at it than others. I just watched three to five commits scroll by with subject lines of "updates" and no body … which tells me nothing about why the code is changing, or why this is the right change.

I'm using Magic Trackpad 2 right now (I strongly prefer touchpads to mice and needed something quiet). It's just a typical touchpad, but it moves parts of movement handling from the driver into the firmware, so it's a bit harder for the software to screw it up. It feels like a larger version of the Synaptics touchpad in my laptop, but with a haptic feedback engine instead of physical clicking.

Having said that, driver support is notoriously bad for most touchpads out there. My laptop touchpad feels pretty bad with libinput, for instance. With synaptics driver it's very Magic Trackpad like - and it's a Lenovo laptop from 2013. The same touchpad feels practically unusable on Windows.
As others have mentioned, TLS 1.3 is not yet supported. But a little bit of context for that decision as of early last year.

https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/issues/228#iss...

We will support 1.3 once the standard is firmed up and finalized (i.e. ceases to be coopted by vendors making changes to allow for people to continue to run moribund middle boxes that can't recognize a new protocol on the wire) Since there is effectively nothing wrong with TLS 1.2 with a sanely chosen cipher suite today, we believe a clean careful implementation is more beneficial than early adoption.

So there's no rush on the part of the developers to support it. Skimming the commits on that git mirror we can see 1.3 related commits started hitting late last year.
As I recall, after the publication of [1] on Julia+TPUs there was some talk about doing a comparison of some ML models on the CPU, GPU, and TPU. Is this something you're working on?

I really can't get behind the idea that it's a disgusting place, even now. There are some parts that I was hesitant to use because it would drag me into arguments with right-wingers, but there were many other parts that were just really, really good. The kind of discussion that prevailed was often insightful (if usually short). On /mu/ and /lit/, the kind of people you don't want to be engaging with usually keep to their own threads, because they know their input is worthless in better threads. It is possible for me to have a good discussion about Marx (for instance) on /lit/ with minimal interference. This is an amazing feat considering how 4chan doesn't have the "walling" features that subreddits provide. That's often a bad thing but it's sometimes a good thing too.

Yes, it would cause chaos in France, but it would also really hurt Google.

You may have missed the part of my post where I said I reported the user to GitHub four hours before posting.

That's a fantastic story. At my grandfather's funeral (he was an electronic and medical researcher who developed early foetal pulse monitors as well as the respirators now used to treat sleep apnoea) it gradually became apparent that I was chatting with two of the people who'd installed one of New Zealand's first computer systems. Incredible conversation but it only lasted half an hour and then off they went. I wish I'd had a chance to record some of it.

“It’s just...” followed by a personal opinion is not a great justification
Oh I agree with that. I was just pointing out the example itself doesn't work so well. I do understand that it's not necessarily store policy, but comes down to the choices of specific employees. This is why i think it's a poor example. With spotify you'll never have a situation where an individual employee can make the decision to allow someone to say use an adblocker or something.

In a lot of ways you can't really compare it to real world examples, because even within corporate chains individual employees can just say fuck it and choose to give the customer a discount or a custom order or allow something they shouldn't.

With an online business like Spotify that utilizes algorithms and automatic actions, this is unlikely to ever happen.

Having worked in a few customer service jobs, or hell even now where I work now, you'd be surprised what customers think they're owed vs what they actually are and how often they do end up getting their way.

In some ways maybe it's because of this people take this mentality onto the web and expect to be able to do the same things.

The real world usually ends up being a lot more grey than the black and white of the legalese and terms and conditions of the internet.

I wouldn't call the earlier article (https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2018/05/this-amazing...) a puff piece, but it was very much banging the drum on the agricultural benefits of oat milk.

This one isn't really a puff piece either, but the title is a bit misleading. It's covering a few studies around the reduced fertilizer/herbicide/topsoil erosion from diverse crop mixtures (like oats), and links it back to the original article by saying that oat milk could help drive agricultural/biodiversity awareness.

The thesis seems to be "oat milk is starting to grow on consumers, and while there's not enough demand to replace swathes of Iowa soy/corn farms with oats, at the least we can intersperse them and use oat milk to coax customers into paying slightly more for "biodiverse" versions".

Not an agricultural person though, so maybe I got it wrong.

Thing is, there is no need for Sci-Hub if researchers (in the US) just took a few minutes to comply with the existing NIH public access policy.

https://publicaccess.nih.gov

> To advance science and improve human health, NIH makes the peer-reviewed articles it funds publicly available on PubMed Central. The NIH public access policy requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to PubMed Central immediately upon acceptance for publication.

Why this duty is so often neglected escapes me, since:

(1) it's to our great benefit (in a general greater good sense, yes, but here I'm saying it's to someone's great personal benefit) to make your research articles as easily accessible as possible (think: h-index).

(2) It's not like PubMed / PMC is some obscure portal scientists rarely visit. It's where the majority of us begin our lit search. If you are writing a grant / thesis / dissertation it's practically our homepage. Basically I'm saying it's collectively odd behavior that we use PubMed as our primary portal to access research articles, but not bother to ensure our own research articles are easily accessible through this portal.

Took me 4 years since graduating from the same school you went to, but I've received multiple offers now for remote work that pays doubles my new-grad salary in Raleigh (which was actually pretty decent as far as Raleigh salaries goes). So don't undersell yourself, seems like you're on a good path. Hit me up (this username at gmail) if you seriously think about coming back to Raleigh in the future or switching to remote work, the place I work is usually hiring.

My father (Professor Alan Mackay) and I visited Professor Penrose in Oxford in 1975, to discuss his new tiling pattern, and I was able to write a computer program (in Algol 60) to draw it on a graph plotter. See http://bobmackay.com/Penrose/PenroseColour300.jpg

My father generated a diffraction pattern from this, using light rather than X-rays, and so was able to predict the pattern eventually discovered by Dan Shechtman some years later.

You might also be amused by a weave based on the pattern, with threads going in five different directions: http://bobmackay.com/PentaTable/index.html

While it looks 'cool', it only gives you the basics, besides you need to write some custom scripts to make sure all the logs are continuously fed into it across process restarts and you need to filter out bots with grep.

Also last time I used, it didn't have easy way to filter out by date period, so it's only good for trends of the entire log span which is not really useful by that alone.

When I was in grade school I really enjoyed math, and was really good at it. But some time around the beginning of college I hit a wall and started to resent math. I was supposed to be good at this stuff!

I hope I never find myself in that spot with software. This talk has the right mindset that it's possible to figure out just about anything if you dig deep enough, but a) you have to put in the work to dig, and b) there's seemingly infinite depth so we have to keep a humble and open mind.

Collusion? What do you mean by that term?

Count me skeptical about of some of these 'self-made' billionaires. Pinduoduo for example, as with many Chinese companies, has been accused of falsifying revenues to pump stock prices. Yes, this stuff happens in the US as well (we all remember Enron and Theranos), but to what extent, are the statements of these companies transparent and well-audited, and regulated by government differs by region.

And Bitmain? Is it tech wealth creation to sell pick-axes to desperate miners looking for a gold rush? This looks to me like instead, a zero-sum trade, wherein someone got rich, and everyone else was left holding the bag for a device that would be worthless in a few months.

Of all of those on the list, DJI looks like the most legit, self-made success story, producing a very high quality, Apple-like experience in innovative drone devices, devices now used extensively by the film industry.

I was originally taking a look at that a few months ago, but since I have a few other small sites I also wanted to switch over (some of which aren't even on hosts I control), I decided to give Fathom a go.

Honestly, it would be best if there were an easy way to aggregate the logs into something like Fathom or GoAccess from any server with a little daemon running... but well, that's how I do it for larger sites with an EFK-based cluster. It just takes a lot more resources and maintenance!

It'd be interesting to be able to compare America and China through the lens of capitalism; at the moment I don't think China is transparent enough to really come up with anything meaningful.

America is a lot less capitalist than it once was [0, 1] total government spending has gone from 10% GDP around the 1930 great depression (so, 9 private dollars for every public dollar) to about 30% post 1950 including State & Local government (2 private dollars per public dollar). I'm not sure how to interpret it, but spending on military also seems to have plummeted since the 60s as a % of spending. The military spending was where the research for things like the internet was done, so that might be meaningful. It seems very reasonable that the impacts of research and tax impacts on savings play out over 20-30 year timeframes (low risk capital investment pays itself back over ~15-20 years which sets up a natural cadence).

As the world becomes competitive for the first time since the end of the cold war, issues of how to generate new wealth very rapidly become important. America won't be able to harvest resources from foreign climes (eg, the Middle East) as freely now that China is starting to move beyond its boarders; to say nothing of potential changes in India or other Asian countries.

Oh, there is another way to do this with webbing.

The tiling can be recursively generated. (called "inflation" and "deflation") That is, starting from a Penrose tiling, another one with smaller tiles can be generated. This means that the patches of webbing can be tiled as Penrose tiles, yet be subdivided such that the result is a valid Penrose tiling with smaller tiles.

In case you are trying to imagine this... good luck. The recursive generation does not retain the large tile divisions as small tile divisions. The large tile divisions become jagged edges. This is fine; the tile industry already tolerates this issue with hex tiles on webbing.
