That's cool. A few years back I ran an indiegogo campaign for a static mesh network. It encoded geohashes into ipv6 addresses and used physical location as a waypoint for next hop routing using Vincentys algorithm. Clever solutions were designed to handle local congestion and mobile devices. Ofc it went nowhere, but maybe Volk can steal those ideas...

Another idea to borrow: The campaign also shipped with a global WIFI app. Eg. you put your WIFI password into the global database and could use the ones other people shared.
> Lots of blame to go around here.

Only if the faulty sensor was listed as "critical." Boeing didn't declare it as such and reported to nobody the way it was used in the unreported MCAS.

That the MCAS even exists and that a single faulty sensor was enough to mess with the flight erratically enough to confuse the pilots was somehow acknowledged by Boeing only after the first crash. It took the second crash for most observers to recognize that just blaming the pilot or maintenance won't keep the planes from not crashing.
>> need delay-evaluation [for "if" in lib]

> one can just use functions

Yes. Obviously. Of course. That's how Smalltalk does it, though it doesn't have general functions, it only has anonymous functions aka (roughly) blocks. Any other language that can pass functions or some sort of equivalent as arguments can obviously also do this.

Heck, you can even do this, horribly, in C:

#include <stdio.h>

void a() { printf("true\n"); }
void b() { printf("false\n"); }

typedef void (*fnfn) ();

void fnif(int cond, fnfn trueCase, fnfn falseCase )
{
fnfn switcher[2]={ falseCase, trueCase };
switcher[cond]();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[] ) {
fnif( 0, a,b );
}

(A little surprised that this compiled on the first try. More surprised that clang didn't show any warnings, even with -Wpedantic. Shows you how well I understand C/C compilers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

And function definitions, lambdas, blocks etc. all delay the evaluation of their bodies.
I'm a bit confused by the concept. The covers on the front page don't seem to be notable in any way. And there isn't anything to explain why they are notable.

Reading this made me speechless. One thing is that the same story repeats again (I am only curious if someone is playing against CLO now as "The Big Short" guys did.)

But this...

"They buy a little of the debt of risky companies at a discount, and then buy a much larger amount of insurance on that debt [...]. These wiseguys then do everything they can to force the company into a bankruptcy filing. [...] Since the insurance payment exceeds by far the overall cost of the discounted debt, the hedge fund profits handsomely."

Isn't this insurance fraud? It looks for me like this: I am buying a crappy car, I am somehow able to insure it for a large amount of money (exceeding car value), then I am putting this car on fire and grab insurer money.
Can't we just be honest about the current state of the art and say "near photorealistic"?

Unless you're half-blind you can tell there's something off about these pictures.

I hate to be that guy, but at what point can I blame the Fed for near-zero interest rates that have motivated traders to seek higher gains? I appreciate that people are being more vigilant about reporting on this, but I’m starting to think blaming it on the traders is the easy way out. It seems especially easy when we can draw obvious comparisons to 2007-8 (CDO => CLO, that’s just one letter changed it must be the same thing!). And it sounds like even if these traders weren’t trying to force overleveraged companies into bankruptcy, those companies must be in a precarious enough position that it could happen on its own. Am I mistaken?
A macro or FEXPR may never evaluate an operand at all. They simply receive the unevaluated forms and decide what to do with them, with explicit evaluation being just one option which can be performed on the operand.

Delayed (lazy) evaluation merely prevents an operand being evaluated at the time of call and until you want to read its reduced value, after which it is automatically evaluated.

What would be the best band for this kind of infrastructure? ( Disregarding any existing FCC licenses )
Yeah .NET Core 3.0 will address some of that, not all. I suppose for any brownfield development looking at switching across those things are the potential blockers at the moment. Especially things running EF where EF Core doesn't have a particular feature just yet. But EF Core development is cracking on at a good pace.

Telerik and the likes I'm not so fussed about personally. I suppose DevExpress is another one on that list. I think front end component libraries like Prime-ng/PrimeReact are probably the way to go for the future of UI development for Line of Business applications.

Overall I reckon in a couple of years there won't be much of those blockers left at all.

With governments I have to wait 4 years or longer to choose between crap and more crap. That's why I think more and more people prefer Google over the government of the day.

From Smart to Intelligent Buildings
The effects of buildings on our lives are more than we think. We live over 50% of those time we spent in commercial buildings. According to a study, the next generation will be an ` Indoor Generation` and that makes much more important to make the buildings a part of our lives.

The difference between today and a century ago is that We expect much more from the buildings. We want those buildings to be a part of our lives. We want to connect and feel the building.

As Winston Churchill once said, “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.”
A smart building can help us to optimize our comfort levels in buildings. The automatic open and close HVAC systems, they open and close lights according to certain schedules. But is that enough? The problem is that smart buildings depend on human interaction. As long as we update the set points, we change the schedules smart buildings can be the technology for making our lives more comfortable and efficient. But we are living in the 21st century and the time we consume to optimize the building's technologies is not efficient anymore.
We need to see the buildings as living ecosystems which must generate data from inside of the building. Without the data which is generated throughout the building can make the buildings much more comfortable, sustainable and efficient. But that is not enough we need to integrate AI so that the data is used automatically by the building itself to operate its HVAC and lighting system.

It is a very thin line between being smart and being Intelligent. We can not continue to use a smart building technology which was invented 50 years ago and didn't change too much yet. We need to leave the operation of the building to real-time data and AI so that we can focus on much more important things.

Debt from multiple issuers is pooled and sold by pieces to investors with different risk profiles. The more risky layers will be the first touched if there are problems, but pay better in the best case. High risk (variation in expected returns), high (expected) return.

The idea is the "good" part of product (the AAA layer) is very safe... according to the model. But it may not be so safe after all if things don't go as expected.
I have this growing conviction that some of the people working in financial markets are something akin to black hat hackers.
They continuously probe the system for bugs and weaknesses and then exploit them for profit.
This "collateralization with obfuscation" exploit where it's impossible to calculate the risks of bundled investment packages should have been "patched" with legislation after the 2008 crash but wasn't.
So, unsurprisingly, they go after it again.

Who is 'we'? The Venezuelans already elected their leader. This is a brazen coup attempt by the US to destabilize a democratically elected government and install a puppet oligarchy.

The UN rapporteur for Venezuela has a report for anyone interested [1][2]. Venezuela has an advanced election system, better than the US according to many, and all elections have been monitored by multiple global organizations including the carter center.

Michael Bolton and other leading US administration officials have already admitted this is about oil. Recognizing a self declared president with no elections and openly orchestrating coups is NOT supporting democracy. This is a violation of the UN charter and a mockery of democracy, rule of law and human rights.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. To me it seems only to increase the chance for users to shoot themselves in the foot, as they now have a false sense of security.
I love the concept as a sender, I hate the concept as a receiver.

It means a ton more mental overhead: "do I need to jot down the info from this email somewhere (manually?) now because at some point it's going to expire or my access is going to be revoked?".

Frustrating. It's the opposite of all the benefits of gMail search.

No his bowl is convex, so it cannot be a saddle point, which are points where there is both a positive curvature and a negative curvature.
I get a bunch of information through emails at work that Im not allowed to share outside the company, and tons of others that I need to send to people outside the company. If the people sending me the internal company emails mark them as such, I can be sure I never inadvertently forward the wrong emails to the wrong group.

I think the threat model is about catching your own mistakes, not preventing bad actors from acting.
If you care about security, you should evaluate your dependencies.

This preferably means reading the code you're pulling in but it's unrealistic that we're going to read 2000 constantly changing dependencies for every deploy, so you need to establish trust some how.

Reputation of maintainers, dep CVE scanning, SAST and protective monitoring can all add additional assurance, but they won't protect you from a random hijacked npm module, and the more you include and from more people, the more likely you'll be affected by a zero day.

Having an entire community depend on tiny libraries that do nearly nothing exaperates this problem, and if you use something that almost nobody else does, you're unlikely to be saved by npm audit.

I don't use node daily driver, but I assume npm audit growing to include reputations and frameworks owning more of the dependency tree will help, but the users of the system also need to be considerate of the risks they take and the trust they place.
No, the failure mode is not two pilots consciously fighting against each other.

The failure mode is two pilots who are UNAWARE they are commanding contradicting inputs.

Airbus negligently averages these inputs. This is legacy tech debt because the physical design didn’t leave room to link the two controls.

Now they are stuck because they feel they can’t change and have some planes that (dangerously) average the inputs, and some that are physically linked.

When controls are physically linked, if one pilot thinks he should nose up, and the other tries to nose down, they can yell “what are you doing” at each other and this create an accurate mental model of what the other is intending.

Think of this every time you fly Airbus.

It’s very similar to debugging a production technology issue. Imagine you decide to restore the database to a snapshot from 1 hour ago, and at the same time someone else tries to restore to an earlier snapshot from 12 hours ago.

Should the system average these inputs and restore from 6.5 hours ago? No, obviously not.

I wonder how the game development community interacts with OSS Linux file system developments such as FUSE, gvfs (GLib/Gtk/GNOMES VFS) or KIO (KDEs VFS).

I've often wondered where the voice of civilians in warzones is.

I don’t think this says anything about teaching quality in US, to be honest. It says more about wealth. We are a much wealthier country and the smartest and wealthiest of the other countries study here. Teaching quality at many elite universities is notoriously horrible. The quality of outcomes of their students is more related to their selection of the top individuals.
That's an interesting perspective. Coming from a background of primarily developing backend services and using databases as a necessary tool, I usually approach it the other way and steer clear of stored procedures, triggers and the like. I guess it's also a matter of using the tools that you're most comfortable with.

Content creators have been burned by YouTube more than once or twice. I subscribed to several premium YouTube channels, then YouTube discontinued paid service and caused me to lose access to my paid content, then it introduced new paid service much later.

This study is published in the Lancet ( https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0... ).

My interpretation of their findings is that it doesn't provide safe assertions that Cannabis is the cause or the effect.

Or in other words, does Cannabis usage create psychosis or do people with psychosis choose to use Cannabis?

Similarly, there are unknowns with mental illness and tobacco smoking. Some think that those with mental illness are more likely to smoke as self-medication.

Who Still Buys Wite-Out, and Why?
Yes, this system does not seem to prevent the information from spreading.

I guess that the logic is that most people who know how to make a screenshot also know how to make a fake screenshot.

So, let's say that Mr A is not a very honest guy. Moreover, Mr A has a sensitive document that could be a liability in court. He wants to share it with Mr B. But, he does not completely trust Mr B. With this system, he can share it. If Mr B sends a screenshot to the police or a judge, it will be easier for Mr A to claim that the screenshot is fake.

That's just a guess... I hope that it was not the intent of the dev, though.

Funny how we seem to slowly converge toward the correct balance between custom DSL and general PL for problems. We won’t be using a custom DSL for every single problem ( contrary to what lispers initially thought), but we also won’t be using a single general programming language to rule them all.

Personally I really like having the whole system configuration declared and checked in to vcs.

The way packages are like functions in the nix code repo gives you at least fair confidence that things will actually work as intended.

Or at the very least it gives you insight into why it doesn’t. More so compared to a traditional deb/rpm distro in my experience.

Not saying it’s perfect by any means, just that it has worked brilliant for a few small projects of mine involving some pi’s.

Or at the very least, entered into the aircraft maintenance log. Back in my flying days, we had to enter every issue, large or small, into the aircraft maintenance logbook, and we also had to check it before each new flight to see what other crews had experienced, and whether the fault was signed off as 'fixed' or an 'up' fault that we could take into the air with us on the next flight.

I believe the tighter turnaround times of flights these day may either mean this step is rushed too quickly or omitted altogether...

I don't want to participate in the discussion whether systemd and systemd-resolved are good or bad or for laymen or not.

My only point was if you want "to take control" of your system you first have to look /etc/nsswitch.conf. If "resolve" is before "dns" your /etc/resolv.conf is mostly unused. Any article discussing /etc/resolv.conf without mentioning /etc/nsswitch.conf is very misleading for many users who happen to have systemd-resolved (probably because the distro decided to install and configure it)

Or if you are like me (and a bit stupid):

1000 = all possible combinations from 000 to 999.

less 10 combinations with all numbers identical is 990.

now there are three patterns for numbers to be identical left that need to be taken out: 00x 0x0 x00. The x can be replaced with all digits != 0 in this example, so thats 3 (patterns) x 9 ('x' digits) = 27. That times 10 digits that can have double patterns is 270.

1000 - 10 - 270 = 720.
