I'm pretty happy with VNC with JPEG compression (which not all VNC implementations support). Depending on the use-case, I either use TigerVNC `vncserver` (creates a virtual X11 display, in my experience OpenGL performs very poorly), or TigerVNC `x0vncserver` (which attaches to a real/existing X11 display and polls it to serve it over VNC; OpenGL performed normally).

TurboVNC is a fork of TigerVNC that has improved OpenGL performance. I can't comment on it too much.

I either connect to VNC directly on :5900 if I'm on the same LAN, or I `ssh -L5901:localhost:5900 server-box`, then `vncviewer localhost:5901`.
This. Here's a piece that I wrote that touches on this dissonance:

> Third, we generally overweight the importance of our personal values when developing a product — without considering how users will make their decision.

> For example, users do value privacy, but many won’t switch to a product that protects their privacy if it means losing what they have — unlike so many of those commenting in Hacker News threads.
> 4 out of 5 people displaced are in Asia right now.

Your link does not support this assertion. Instead, it says that 80% of Asian people would be displaced in the next eight decade given a 3ºC rise in global temperature.

> Even right now, Miami is underwater, and we are pumping it back out.

Miami was built on a sandbar. A good portion of the west side of the city is built atop the Everglades - it was never exactly a safe place to build.

Also, Miami is not "under water". You article refers to "king tides" - caused by the alignment of Earth, Luna, and Sol - which are exactly the same as they were at any point in human history, as measured against the mean tide. They're astronomical events, and are unrelated to climate. Unless you can show that "king tides" are objectively higher today than they were in the past, I don't see what they have to do with anything whatsoever. Measuring the height of king tides is exactly equivalent to measuring the mean sea level.

> Of course we could build new spare cities inland now, for much cheaper, but of course we will wait for destruction before people will move.

This doesn't even make sense to me. Why would building spare cities be cheaper now than in twenty years, or fifty? Remember the time scale we're talking about here; your article is projecting out eighty years. If you built these cities today, they'd be fifty to eighty years old before people needed them. How many urban dwellers live in fifty to eighty year old houses, especially without updates?

Further, if we take for granted that there will be a need for spare cities in the future, it would make much more sense to build them as needed. That would spur growth in the construction industry, which in turn would lead to economies of scale. Construction technology would have additional time to improve as well, which means fewer resources used in building and more sustainable design to boot.

In short... if this is going to be an issue, from a public policy perspective reaction to it should be just that - reaction. Have resources on hand, sure, but trying to move the populations of entire cities two generations ahead of an anticipated issue is folly.
>Oracle is good at extracting the maximum profit from their sales. They're aggressive about sales and policing usage and they don't often cut customers slack.

Sounds like a horrible company to work with. Most of the people I know that use Oracle services/products due so because they are stuck with them
That only strictly applies during the regulated period of a campaign. As there isn't presently a relevant election ongoing and there isn't a candidate or referendum vote that it is directly promoting, they don't technically have to have an imprint.

Now, that's not remotely to say that imprint law isn't flouted during campaigns, I've absolutely seen literature going out that looked very like (though couldn't be proved as) party-distributed literature trying to influence an election but which didn't contain an imprint. But, this isn't a breach of that particular law.
True (not that those practices were something extremely current though), but it doesn't make complaining about Dragonfly, which neither exists, nor will make much difference in regards to China's oppression, any less pathetic.

Everything that you've ever encountered has made some tiny impression on you. Advertising is a "weaponized" process that aims to force a set of impressions on people where the agents behind it think that they know how those impressions will alter their behavior. Even if you think that you are not influenced by advertising -- though you certainly are in some way, since you are experiencing it -- you have to see that unregulated media platforms are magnifying all kinds of kookiness.
you’re not wrong, however this is a gross oversimplification. If you are on a permanent daylight savings time at high latitudes, you will have more people staying up late and waking up early for a longer period of the year. The difference is not negligible. In fact Iceland (currently on permanent daylight savings time; where I have lived most of my life) is considering moving the clock closer to solar time. They are citing public health reasons for the move.

Great, but the problem with these summaries is no real-world data/use-case. An actual business case example with code is easier to comprehend for less math-inclined folks.

My follow up question would be why not do this for both union functions? I don’t see why they would want to have two functions that do the exact same thing (called differently, though) be written in two different ways.
Yeah, Common Lisp is one of the few languages where I feel comfortable diving into a foreign code base and submitting patches.
even 10 years ago, it was impossible to get around d.c. without having to stumble through the reams of tourists scrambling to get their photo-op at every monument. i think the culture of personal brands has simply expanded what those same people perceive as monuments and things that would've been stumbled upon by a handful have become must visit sites even though they were never designed to deal with that kind of traffic. travel is still an incredibly powerful thing but the experience is only as valuable as what you do with it.

I recently took over GNU libredwg, which had an esp. nice codebase.
The infrastructure was severely lacking, not enough warnings and probes enabled in autotools, many missing configure settings, totally bonkers unittests written by some late Google Sumner of code students, but the base architecture was excellent, with a DSL like specification language (via C macros), it was easy to extend, and works as perfectly fine documentation. readable code.

Documentation had the proper GNU framework, of course without man pages as most such GNU stuff, but this also easy to add. The other testsuite parts were also easy to add, dejagnu still rocks, gtest would have been a horror show.

GNU coding standards are a godsend.
Yeah, while I like the tool (quite impressive), I think the watermark it far too intrusive.

Seems pretty obvious — Oracle isn’t disclosing specific cloud data in their financials because the data would be embarrassing.
There are multiple reports of it working by simply spoofing your user agent to chrome https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/apu2u6/, which makes this even more worrying.
If I'm not motivated enough, I would not dig into some particular code base just for fun. Usually I try to find out, how somebody else solved a problem or designed a system, which interests me. I often investigate different approaches of different projects, to spot similarities or differences. I also watch out for approachable and readable code, which corresponds with my level of knowledge. I like in particular small projects, with simple makefiles, a clear file organization and clean code.
> The idea of hyper-unstable living seems to be if you live by yourself or with a spouse you'll make a mortgage transaction every 20 years on average,...

Full disclosure... I shared this twice, but I think it came across as an attempt for on-boarding users vs. receiving feedback.

I really would just like the feedback...
I think it's a great tool, but this is my first project EVER, and really need some seasoned vets to give some critical advice.

Main questions:
- Is the concept useful? (arguably most important question)
- User interface, good/bad..? confusing??
- Speed, lag... is it reasonable considering the resources loaded?
- anything else noteworthy

I'm likely on the other side of the "gun issue", but I mentioned in another comment on this article that the linked paper reads a lot like survivalist literature in the early 90s. There are a lot of interesting parallels, in terms of "us vs. them", the prediction of an impending civilization-altering change, the means through which an individual can prepare for it, etc.

I'll say again, the 90s-era survivalists were largely wrong, but they were spot on in some ways. The government really was spying on its own citizens, and there was just enough truth to a lot of their conspiracy theories for them not to be completely laughable in retrospect. I suspect this paper is the same way - it seems likely that there will in fact be a changing global climate over the next century or so, and that populations of cities and perhaps nations will be displaced. As for the collapse of civilization, starvation, water wars, etc.? I find those things extremely unlikely.
... dammit. Alright, you've won me over. I'm an idiot.
Yeah, idk. I used to work at Oracle and from what I could discern (as a pretty low-level employee) Thomas Kurian was largely responsible for spearheading the cloud efforts on the technical side of things. He's since left the company.

I worked with great people at Oracle but I disliked working there immensely. Compared to a lot of other big-name tech companies, their approach to managing employees and their approach to innovation is extremely outdated and somewhat draconian (in certain arenas). Furthermore, I got the sense that any customers we had were largely the result of good salesmanship and unforgiving lock-in. I'm sure it's probably not like this on every team at Oracle, but that was my experience. It was also incredibly clear from the scarce (once a year? if that?) corporate wide pow-wows and communications from above that the company's top executives not only don't understand their employees but also quite clearly don't care about them, their advancement, or happiness. Hell, Oracle was just starting to bring macs into the workplace in the name of appeasing employees and improving employee-executive relations when I left in early 2018.
I'm glad you found some interesting projects, it means I'm doing some things right!

I'll most probably feature your article in the issue coming out this Sunday or a week after.

Thanks!
The adverse effects of sleep deprivation accumulate. It does make sense to minimize the time you have to wake up before daylight.
It's funny - I've only caved a bit, but I watch that video and think "wow that looks fun." There's something so exciting about getting right up to the edge of what's possible for a human to do.
Exactly. The thought process I go through in evaluating a new paper is certainly different from when I am reading older, proven work. But in both cases, I still personally care about the measurements.
> President Bill Clinton enacted a federal law facilitating the use of electronic and digital signatures in interstate and foreign commerce by ensuring the validity and legal effect of contracts. He approved the eSign Act by digitally signing it. (emphasis mine)

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that there's a bug in that procedure? Before he signed the act, digitally signing wasn't legal, and the act doesn't become law until it's signed, so... I understand why they did this, but as an engineer, I find this problematic XD
In the US, yea, inspections aren't universal, but the only inspection program I know of that has been scrapped was Florida's. I think there are more operating inspection regimes than defunct ones, even if you can cheat some of them. This also seems to be an anomaly among developed countries.

Rust that's more than superficial can lead to structural failure, and improper crash repairs can cause this. These are definitely situations that leave the vehicle in a lesser state of crashworthiness.

I strongly disagree that the topic should have anything to do in limiting the form used to present it. This site is a google art experiment. In art, form is usually pretty much just as important as content.
Realistically, a lot of "tech giant" business models are somewhat weird.

Google is a search engine + search engine monetisation engine. They have some third parties participating in the ad market (notably other search engines) and some non-search properties (eg YouTube) that contribute some as revenue but search+AdWords is still the core.

Meanwhile, most of the notable things google do are in unrelated or marginally related to the business model. Android, chrome, self driving cars...

It's as if most of the company has nothing to do with the business. They used to explain this with a VC metaphor, but that seems to be gone.

FB & twitter are even stranger. Why do they have 100X more employees and costs than they had a few years ago, while not apparently outputting much more than they were outputting before. They're still "just" social media sites. With all due respect to ad-tech and content ranking algorithms...

The common denominator is a revenue stream that comes from dominating a niche and very little relationship between what the company invests in and how it makes money. They didn't/couldn't have actually directed themselves towards those things as goals.

Oracle is similar. They're deeply embedded in their customer's businesses. That means a captive market. This generates a revenue stream. There's no predictable way of turning that revenue into a cloud service, no matter how much they're willing to spend.

Ultimately, the problem is that the market as a whole is overfunded. Investors don't want dividends, so they get highly speculative/dubious investments instead.
The issue is that once a job can be done remotely or moved to a cheaper city, it can usually just be moved to a different country where the labor is much cheaper.

We will likely not see jobs move to less expensive areas in the US(or any other high wage country), in any meaningfully significant number, because those cheaper areas can never compete with cheaper countries overseas on cost.
I don't understand what they mean by N-dimensional state space. There are bijections between R^n and R for any n. What does it even mean, then, that state-space is N-dimensional?

If you can transmit 1 real number you can transmit any number of real numbers.

Reverse engineering doesn't pay that well-- IME at or just below par with software engineers.

So as one point of comparison you might look at the tools of software engineers, which are essentially all free today.

To get to hex-rays having a reasonable price you probably have to look at jobs like pipe welding where the equipment is expensive and the hourly high, but the comparison is much less direct.

these ideas aren't good or bad in this way really. only in their execution we find that the integrity of humans is not developed enough for these kinds of services or capabilities.

Yes, things that don't exist can't be good or bad, and neither can things be good or bad without people. Once the thing exists at the same time that humans exist, we get opinions on good and bad. One way of deciding whether something is good or bad is whether it works to benefit your life, vs. making things worse.

You can call this a philosophical problem if you want, since pretty much anything can be described the same way, but realizing that FB people are greedy fucks when it comes to our daily datapoints over the course of our entire lives (they hope) is not a matter of theory. I'm not sure how you skated from FB's greed to "people become vile and corrupt when they aren't tracked by FB," though.

is it immoral or wrong to make a profit within a capitalist system?

Sometimes, and sometimes those profits are specifically illegal, with penalties at the level of "decades in prison." We the people get to decide (more or less) what acts qualify for those penalties, and there is no universal truth to which these penalties must be compared. We could put all board members of companies that leak data in prison, calculated at one day for every person's data that was exfiltrated. Strict liability. That is the privacy debate in a nutshell.

Uber 'not liable' for self-driving death
I couldn't disagree more. Python 2 was a mess. range vs. xrange, items vs. iteritems, keys vs. iterkeys, input vs. raw_input, strings vs. Unicode strings, integer vs. float division were a mess, and were especially confusing and inconsistent for beginners.

Teaching Python 2 to beginners was always annoying for them: "ok so there's this function called input() but NEVER use it, always use raw_input(), unless you like RCE", "although all the tutorials say `for i in range()`, you should really get in the habit of using xrange() because...". Generators don't need to be explained in detail or understood by a beginner; all that really needs to be taught is the concept of iterators, and eventually, at an intermediate stage, the idea that some iterators are lazily-evaluated.

A simple dict "copy + merge" addition operator is a perfectly reasonable idea that will help beginners, not hurt them.
