Ghidra also appears to have a functioning Undo operation, which IDA seems to still not have. Being able to make changes without worrying about your IDB accidentally becoming unusable is huge.

Context: in IDA, certain changes you make can inadvertently wipe out a lot of work - for example, undefining a function (U) can erase all your annotations in a single keystroke; defining a return type incorrectly can completely mess up callers, sometimes to the point where they won't even decompile properly; making a typo to an array size argument can obliterate the stack and every variable annotation you made on it, etc. etc. Many of these require much more work to undo than simply reverting the change you made. So a functioning undo is a big deal

Some more comparisons:

- Ghidra's type system is nice, and in some ways nicer than IDA's. Semi-automatic struct inference rocks, and it comes with a big type library.

- Ghidra will decompile code from a dozen different architectures. IDA will only do x86, x64, ARM and AArch64 (and you pay for all of those separately). In theory it could decompile a custom architecture if you implement your disassembler backend thoroughly enough.

- Ghidra's UI is marginally worse than IDA because it's implemented in Java Swing (compared with IDA's Qt).

- Ghidra and IDA both use Python for scripting. However, Ghidra's Python is actually Jython, which gives it access to the entire state of the system (minus the decompiler, which is native code - but you can interact with all the code that drives the decompiler). This is really big - the API surface of the entirety of Ghidra is pretty massive so the scripting opportunities are similarly exciting.

- Ghidra has a (mostly functional) patching interface which understands assembly. IDA Pro, despite costing many thousands of dollars, gets confused when you try to assemble something as basic as "mov rdi, rdx" in 64-bit code. (There's an outstanding bug which breaks ELF files - but being open-source, I'm sure it will be fixed soon)
How would you get paid in that scenario?
In Europe you would need to set yourself up as a payment services provider (PSP). I believe the US has a similar regime. https://paymentscompliance.com/us-money-transmitters
You'll need a reasonable amount of capital behind you. Next step would be to find a law firm specialising in payments and go and get some advice.
I agree. I see why countries in northern Europe have little use for daylight savings: they have darkness in the morning in winter and sun well before everybody's awake in summer whenever they use daylight savings or not. In southern Europe it's different (I live there), especially because those countries tend to center their day not around noon but to later hours: lunch starting between 13:00/15:00 and dinner between 21:00/23:00. Spain basically lives with a double summer time. Italy has a gradient between North (earlier, 1 PM) and South (later).
I don't live particularly in the south but if I have to choose I'll pick summer time for all the year, and maybe double of it. Sun at 6 AM is wasted, darkness at 7 PM is depressing.

We could end up with two horizontal time zones. UTC+1 in the north and UTC+2 in the south.

By the way, the few people from my country that voted in that poll were keen about keeping daylight savings.

It's not a "hard problem" in the typical sense of the term. Money is not fundamentally hard -- the current state of financial law is what makes this hard. It's just a regulatory nightmare which makes this problem infeasible for random, unconnected people to try and solve.
Yeah, rather than having the judges and the prosecutors stitch everything up between themselves with a nudge and nod and a wink.
> CALM falls short of being aconstructiveresult—it does not actu-ally tell us how to write consistent, coordination-free distributedsystems.

Can anyone explain a good way to use these results?

The OP (acolyer.org) seems to suggest that this boils down to using CRDTs but that doesn't seem to be isn't really the answer but I can't figure out how to use/properly think about the results in this paper (as opposed to others that are a bit more practical). I've crawled through a bunch of paxos papers[0], and at this point it seems to that the distribution part of the problem is somewhat solved but the coordination required is what we're trying to attack now.

Whenever I see systems that use CRDTs it's usually either a K/V store or a concurrent editing application. Also, most articles will gloss over the fact that both types of CRDTs (cmRDTs and cvRDTS IIRC) are actually roughly equivalent (pure operation-based CRDTs[1]). IMO pure operation-based CRDTs are just distributed WAL by another name -- and if that's the case then we already have the solution for this (paxos-like quorum on the WAL segements).

All this boils down to the thought I've been holding lately that distributed consistency isn't hard in this day and age -- WAL (which you generally want for hard-disk-level consistency to start with, if you're not just waiting for big fsyncs) + synchronous commit (whether quorum or all nodes) is all you need to achieve a perfectly consistent distributed system, but what is hard is doing that with low latency and high throughput.

Yes, sorry, moving back to standard time provides a boost in winter.

Both clock adjustments provide different benefits, which is why we do both, to get both benefits. Abolishing DST means you pick one of the two.

Possible explanation for the emdrive?
The number of seats in the EP is proportional to the population, and Germany is slightly more populous than any other nation. I wouldn’t call it “dominating”, but as a nation it is more influential.

Separately, the seats are divided into parties, and not all MEPs represent the interests of their national governments — UKIP prior to the referendum, for example.
> In California, daylight savings actually makes sense, it's a noticeable boost of daylight for your office commute in the winter.

Winter is in standard time, so DST has no effect on it. (Also, the standard time evening commute in CA is in darkness, and wouldn't be if it was in DST, so even if you are comparing the status quo against permanent DST rather than permanent standard time, that's still wrong.)

DST—“Summer Time”—maximizes post-9-5-working-hours daylight time (to promote shopping and other commercial and recreational activity) in summer, not commute-convenient daylight time in winter.

My advice would be to join Patreon/Stripe/some other payment services company, and realize that it isn't something a single engineer, no matter how skilled, can throw together in a week, a month, a year, or a decade.
The post makes clear statements about how distributed consistency following CALM can regain lost performance by removing the need for coordination, without adding much complexity.

Keeping architectures monotonic (as defined by post and the linked paper) isn't difficult, especially if you allow yourself excess storage and (again, as discussed in the paper) deal with compaction of your data structures asynchronously, off the critical path.
Also consider that people in those places don't drive everywhere. Foot traffic is hardly ever closed during construction, and most customers reach small businesses by foot. This means that the losses aren't as pronounced as you probably thought.
I have three of them :-) And I would like something with just a bit more payload. In particular I have been fascinated by the papers on cooperative work by multiple quad copters when driven by a supervising computer vision system.

Potato, potato. If they don't do the work to get FDA approval, even with the bullshit de minimis change, the alternative isn't a patent-free generic — it's nothing, for any price.

> Androgel costs a bloody fortune, because their formulation (basically hair gel) has patent protection. So I use a compounded cream that costs ~90% less.

So what is the problem with androgel's patent? How does it make your life worse? If they didn't have the patent, you'd still be using the same previous standard-of-care.

Well, good luck with that.

Here's a post about a story that made the rounds back when Patreon made some changes a while back: https://geoffkratz.wordpress.com/2017/12/10/is-patreon-about... It should give you a few pointers on things not to do in order to steer clear of violating financial regulations. It's probably far from a complete list, but should give you some starting points of things you'll need to be aware of.
It's valid because USPTO approved it, yes. We're first-to-file, not first-to-invent now.
Don't want to discourage you but money health and law are the three worst thing to work with in IT

First of all you can't neither "term-of-service-away" nor delegate diligence, second because the regulatory frameworks around them updates almost yearly if not more often.

Self research these three topics doesn't seem a good idea. Budget for or partner up with an expert in the field, because even using a third party service doesn't fully absolve you from responsibilities.
I can't read the paper but the physical mechanism for how anything like this manifests is so obvious they'll be embarrassed to miss it: the entire solid must translate a small distance.

You totally missed the analogy. Here, China/US are the armies, and Huawei/Cisco are just some folks with guns. When governments intervene, they bring an enormous amount of resources that even large companies cannot compete with.
A subscription might work, or trying to get payment from the creators to be on the system.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem of course -- as the service needs to be popular to justify a creator paying anything, but that's the same regardless, and if the price is right then you can at least get people in the door. for example $12 (so $1/month) for a high quality patreon funnel that you don't maintain and also (theoretically) helps people discovery you doesn't seem like an impossible sell.
Worth a read because it is one the most condescending computing books I have ever read. While reading I got the impression that I read the text of a really immature fanboy in a web forum of the 2000s.

Is this model actually GDPR compliant?

Either way I definitely don't want to trigger another conversation on the ethics of script/tracking/ad-blocking. I am wondering if this subscribe-with-your-data model is legally compliant with the GDPR. This is not a moral question (or at least I am not interested in a moral answer).

Open source doesn't mean free.
The referenced study [1] showed that taking people out of their regular sleeping patterns had detrimental effects, which is a surprise to nobody. It did not test for the effects of different habitual sleep patterns! Participants were required to engage in one of a variety of different sleep patterns over up to 11 nights, with no consideration given to their normal preexisting sleep pattern.

Our bodies adjust to different behavior over time, and it's only after the adjustment that you can begin to meaningfully compare and contrast different behaviors. Imagine you take random people and require they start running 4 miles a day with no consideration given to the preexisting patterns of physical activity! Well it'd certainly give the media their clickbait of the day as they 'discover' running is bad for you.

Raleigh NC, it's a little slower-paced down there - plus warmer and sunnier.

I've lived there before and the only big downside then was the career growth opportunities, but I've got a sweet remote gig now, so that's covered.

Offhand I'm unsure of the semantics of sleep...

It appears that sleep (at least on a typical modern Linux desktop) does behave similarly to echo in that it does nothing with the pipeline instead of echoing it to terminal.

It's curious because someone might assume the default behavior would be to forward all file descriptors unless something was done to the data-streams. Clearly that isn't the case, the shell ties the prior standard output to the next programs standard input irrespective of if anything ever happens to it.
You're saying that patreon provides this for you automatically right -- I wasn't disagreeing with that... That's part of the value that patreon provides and I recognize that.

With regards to your comment, you're right that it's inconvenient but that can be worked on (API integrations?), and even if it can't, the people who are willing to confirm monthly payments to things they support might not be 0.

This is why I haven't bought prescription glasses in stores for 10 years and probably won't in the future. I bought two pairs of frames with lenses for around $100 online after I do my prescription tests each couple years, whereas for an average pair in store or with the optometrist, they cost about $300+. The quality between the glasses is pretty similar, only difference is the brand.

It is a deeply misleading excerpt of something Pelosi said, not "faithful" in any way. And the claim that nobody got to read the ACA before the vote is simply not true. You can see the main bill being repeatedly debated and amended on the floor of the Senate from early October 2010 until late December here:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/3590...

The House passed the Senate bill several months later. It was then amended by the 2010 reconciliation act, which resolved some issues the House had with the Senate bill. That passed much more quickly (because it was a smaller and less controversial bill), but it still was presented on the floor of the House a week before it eventually passed:

> Imagine that some major player did begin to act badly.

And it was easily detectable and your average consumer can figure out who to attribute it to. Remember when Comcast was finally caught injecting poison packets to sabotage Bittorrent connections?

There are far subtler ways to be evil and maintain some plausible deniability against the average consumer, you don't need to sabotage every operation, just enough. Government lawsuits are partly about giving weight to the concept that something screwy is going on.

> This would enable a competitor

Like that competitor to Comcast, who rapidly -- oh, wait, that didn't pan out. Don't ignore barriers-to-entry, which are hugely significant in the ISP market.

P.S.: In addition to the "direct intervention" side, there's also cases of spying and misusing privileged information. While that's on the decline due to increased HTTPS, the legal front is just as important as the technological one.

Hmm... so I have Asperger's Syndrome, and my thoughts on the article are a bit varied.

Honestly I don't think I've experienced burnout from trying to normalize. There are probably a lot of reasons for that... I have a pretty good support system, I enjoy understanding other people, and perhaps I just don't always take it fully seriously.

I have had burnout related to other things. I personally think all people get burnt out if they are stressed out for a long period of time or deal with too many changes at once. That's not something super tied to Autism in my experience. Just tied to being human

I do relate to taking normalization a bit less seriously as I've gotten older. Partly because sometimes the normal thing to do isn't the best option. So perhaps I risk looking a bit weird at the cost of doing what I think is better. Going on my mission helped with that quite a bit I think.

So yeah, kinda mixed feelings. I'm sure some have felt what's described, I personally have not though.
Not necessarily lost to a 3rd party. Just if somebody was working on fixing a blocker and doesn’t push progress before going home and then losing the laptop on the train or something.
