The end of OSX was signaled by the iPad. When the iPad ended up just a large phone and not running a real OS for getting shit done, it was clear where Apple wanted to head.
That was racist about a century ago. Now, not so much
You can disagree, but we know that young men are having less sex than ever before. We also know that young men are having significantly less sex than young women. Something is broken in the system and I'm afraid that something this fundamental to humans can result in bad consequences.
A literal assassin killing me would be better than working with anything based on matplotlib; fortunately altair does away with it.
> But the real question is: what happens to the mind of an eight-year-old if they have a gambling simulator in their pocket every day? What happens to their neurological development after five years of exposure to this "gambling" state?

This. Absolutely this. And scary as hell.
This is awesome and I couldn't root for you folks more. This is such a great step towards saving the planet!

"What no one has been able to do so far is do it at a low enough cost to compete with fossil fuel."
I wish we as a society could properly account for negative externalities in the price of fossil fuel.
This, I dated a girl once who tried harming herself after taking some shrooms, not realizing she had some issues with self-harm.
Is your knowledge of basic vanilla JS good? If that is the case then I recommend looking at https://babeljs.io/docs/en/learn for a simple overview of the new features in ES6. There are more in depth sites for ES6 but I think the above link covers what you probably are going to use.
This reason exactly, when I was learning Rust I had a milestone of complete - when I can reason the errors reported by the compiler, and comfortablely make my program compile. At that point, I could already let my program to run on production. Whereas in C/C++, when learning, there's always the fear of missing something, and without a C/C++ veteran in team to review, I would never trust my C/C++ program to run on production settings.
All that is to say, Rust opened a whole new way (better for myself, YMMV) to access low-level programming for higher-level language programmers.
It's my understanding that a hacking incident that principally contributes to injury/death can justify a kinetic response.

Hacking incidents with kinetic effects are only rare outliers today, but that could change tomorrow.

Kinetic deterrence & reprisal for hacking incidents is a legitimate option, but ripe for significant abuse if allowed without clear attribution of hack and/or link to related kinetic effects.

Much like how terrorism is(or should be) mostly a law enforcement function.

Hacking should be as well.

But planning for exceptions is also important.

Especially planning to ensure exceptions don't become the norm.
That may be true for the executive team, and a 'rockstar' developer or two, But I'm finding it hard to believe that a QA person, or mid-level project manager, or the receptionist has any ability to negotiate their employment contract. Especially when rent is due at the end of the month, and little Bobby needs new shoes.

I think its similar to the arguments saying forced arbitration is fine for cell phone contracts, because you can choose to not do business with that company, when EVERY cell phone provider now has them...
Not single byte, but individual fields (float32/int32/string etc). Yes, I expected a much more significant speed-up as well. It's probably because a lot of that code was driven by reflection-type techniques.

Curiously, IronPython did better than anything (but still slow). Haven't tried Jython.

Compiling the whole thing with Cython was less effective than PyPy.
I think I'd agree that it's good to be at least familiar with all 3. I honestly haven't really touched C++ in a long time, and don't know anything about its newer and more advanced features. Might be worth doing? I honestly have no idea how you would do something like pull in a utility library in C++ without wrestling with makefiles and compiler flags.

I have worked with some Go, and found it reasonably practical, if a little boring and verbose. Not necessarily a bad thing if you're writing a big program with a large team with widely-varying capabilities. But it's hard to get the enthusiasm to write more Go recreationally. The standard library is remarkably thorough, though I'm a little disappointed at how bare-bones dependency management and control is.

I find I enjoy Rust rather well. I don't consider myself to be particularly smart, but I haven't run into much trouble fighting the Rust borrow checker. It does force you to think more about exactly what should own what at any particular time, and exactly what to do in any particular error situation, which is probably a good thing. Sometimes you have to throw some clones and random &s around to get things working, but I've always been able to sort it out so far. And it's the first language in this space with a dependency management system that actually compares to dynamic languages like Ruby.
There's more to life than Che Guevara t-shirts.
Its not rocket science. All but the ugliest women can get sex/relationships more easily than all but perhaps the most attractive men. You have the top 90% of women competing for the top 10% (guessimate but its around there) of men while the other men are left completely in the dust.

Plenty of people speak up against mass immigration, especially amongst the proles. Not everyone is concerned with being seen as racist.
I quickly skimmed over this, but I find funny they think AI/ML will democratize things. They do realize that ML in it's current form requires gobs and gobs of data. Your every day person does not have access to that.

Really, I would be worried of the reverse as it seems more likely.
We need carbon neutral fuel for shipping and aircraft, so that's one huge application. Especially if it's cleaner burning (no sulfur, aromatics etc.).
For Windows? No, that will continue to suck.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

There was a part in Pollan's book where he talks about how an experienced guide will remind you to face the things in your trip that are scaring you. And that running away is what turns a trip into a bad one.

My personality would naturally want to run away, where perhaps the point of the "scary thing" is to face it and deal with it in a suggestible state of consciousness. As an example, I have a lot of health-related OCD triggers. Perhaps it would be a positive experience to "see" these things during a trip and recognize that 1) I have no true control over them 2) sitting around and worrying about them won't do me any good.

I know that those two things are true, but my brain is pretty hard-wired to worry about whatever the current flavor of the week is.

ERP therapy has been great in sort of numbing the associated anxiety, but I'd love to push it a step further.
I find that argument to be fairly naive. In theory there are lots of things that can be negotiated but are rarely done so, especially in an industry with a high abundance of eager workers. Having a small clause in their contract that voids their ability to take legal action against the company is something that I find to be worth protesting against.
I’m reminded of the time Carmelo Anthony got injured, collapsed onto the floor, and was ignored by all nine other players for two possessions due to his reputation for flopping.
I'd be interested in some more reading on core transformation - do you happen to have any recommendations? Thanks!
And there is no way to tell which people are okay with this and which aren't without taking risks that can have severe consequences. Some men are just going to say "no thanks" to this, and on the scale of society that some men is a large number.
and this walkout is an example of that free negotiation
Knocking down strawmen left and right, I'm impressed. Or just the strawmen on your right in this case, I guess.

Both turn to authoritarianism to solve their problems. One party just happens to be more moral in doing so. That makes them preferable, somewhat. But friendly to libertarianism, neither party is, and calling it for what it is doesn't make me an ally of anyone.
What about Cryptpad? https://cryptpad.fr/
So Bannon is often full of BS. But he makes a few points that are good and others that are ridiculous or just embarrassing. Much of what he wrote is reasonable, one thing was clearly wrong (point three, western companies would just crush Chinese companies except for forced IP migration). Some rust belt voters liked Trump's racist complaints about Mexican Immigrants but not all voters were going on that - many rust belters were also looking for someone to provide them some hope about their towns where the factories closed and there was little opportunity. Sadly HRC did a poor job of addressing this.

Forced transfer and govt. propping up some companies are obviously bad for other countries.

But on point three he is laughable far off the mark. There was a time when China wouldn't have been able to compete with the us is many markets with significant IP but those days are gone for most products imho. Chinese internet based companies are world beaters or at the least many of them make great products, and about the only way companies like Huawei will be stopped will be if we don't let them enter our markets as a whole. In field after field the Chinese 996 work life is giving them tremendous progress in design and implementation of electronics, software, and the technology to build things. The us is arguable way way behind them in manufacturing, we've lost our infrastructure, factories and expertise in many cases. We are in a battle with them for world supremacy, it's been clear for a long time. But he is wrong that the west will just win if we and they open their markets. We'd be in serious jeopardy if we competed with them on an even playing field. My experience with Chinese engineers who have come to work in the us is that they are excellent. Yes, there are companies that are stealing ideas, but more and more of them are really succeeding.
It's worth noting that a number of Iranian's involved with Iran's nuclear program were the victims of targeted assassination in Iran.

Israel has also aggressively targeted engineers back in the 80's/90's reportedly involved in asymmetric weapon design/engineering(prior to advent of easier cross border info sharing).

Perhaps hacking tool developers would also be similarly targeted, or already have been?
No one would have guessed a few years back that Apple would be running on risc chips, then Unix, then x86, then... Or Amazon becoming the leading internet infrastructure provider. Or MS dumping their browser for Chrome, or ten other very surprising things they’ve done lately.

Don’t underestimate what new leadership who have no nostalgia towards Windows, but want to save money to pay themselves bonuses might do.
All pro athletes accept risk of injury as the price of being the best. If you refuse to take risks then you'll be beaten by somebody who does. Even if the expected value for the team as a whole is negative, it often still makes sense to take the risk, because "best in the world" earns you so much more (including earnings from adverts/speeches/movie deals/etc.) than 2nd best. The rules are supposed to prevent this race to the bottom.
There was Rotor on FreeBSD. Probably more a proof of concept, but it was there.
Hey man. I installed VS and tried compiling the project.

A. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
B. If I am doing it right, where does the compiled binary (or is it an installer?) get put?

Thank you for your work!!
Smartphone compatibility, display and usage. So many different browsers, OS versions and screen sizes make it a minefield.
I'd say there's more to explore with the societal effects of parasocial internet relationships than porn.

Less a "competitive market of pleasure" and more a market for attention. Even a casual relationship is fairly high cost interms of time (and potentially money) something millennials (and gen Z) aren't known for having in abundance.
I'm conflicted. This is clearly better than what we have but I was really hoping for a carbon negative future. I hope projects like this are a stepping stone and not a handbrake on progress.
Buying dinner jokes were totally in the zeitgeist from that era. See all the jokes in media about who should pick up the tab.

For the second part, I'm talking about consent in all parts of a relationship. Politely accepting no is a part of finding a consenting partner. Up until very recently, men didn't have to accept no. They were legally protected in not accepting no. I said the new rule is "politely accepting no as an answer" was a new rule, you said it was always the rule. I provided a counter example saying it was clearly not always the rule.
There is definitely more to an interaction than someone’s appearance but the number of situations in which it’s irrelevant are quite small, much though we might pretend otherwise. Ugly people have worse lives than beautiful ones, even if we completely ignore romance because people treat them worse.

So one should work on being attractive. Some women put on makeup. Men do other things.
Just got a "Mission to Mars" prompt that ended with

"* I use PayPal for donations.* Thanks so much, if you decide to donate, please give generously or I will donate every penny you make in the end. You can find me at my PayPal account"
I’d say the best play is the 4 point play back breakers
Perhaps this is one of the few times evidence of it happening escaped to the public. That doesn't necessarily mean any particular powerful people wanted it to, they don't control everything; although it's possible, I agree.

Either way, as you say, it does seem like this probably happens frequently. It's the nature of the thing.

The article says "The losses have touched off a debate within the intelligence community over whether the United States should continue to develop some of the world’s most high-tech, stealthy cyberweapons if it is unable to keep them under lock and key."

But we know: of course you can't keep valuable software 'under lock and key', that's not how software works (at least not if it's intended to run on non-secure networks).

So that to me raises the question: Wouldn't it better for our national security if our well-funded military infosec aparatus were focused much more disproporationately on defense, instead of creating, perserving, and escalating available attacks? If the NSA knows about a 0day, how about they get it patched (so it can't be used against American and allied civilian networks, as it was in this story), instead of trying to keep it exploitable? I'd feel a lot safer if my tax dollars were used that way.
> One Earth Standard Time system for scheduling with different parts of the world

That's pretty much what UTC does. The aviation industry does everything in UTC for example, and you convert to local time as required.

> one system that is centered on solar noon at one's longitude and is updated daily at solar midnight

We have that already, it's called (local) Mean Solar Time.
I don't think you understand. The problem isn't being hounded out of the bar, the problem starts with not being in the bar in the first place. Why go there if all you're going to face is rejection or worse? It's not exactly an exciting place to be and it saps your money. It's easier and safer to stay home, watch porn, and play video games.
Well, barely though. Only a tiny fragment of Maine would be in AST using standard 15° wide time zones, the boundary being 67.5° W.
It is not unusual for a C++ or Rust program to be 30% faster than the C program it replaces. The reasons are worth studying.

30% may be no great shakes vs the 1000%+ available switching from Python, but in this post-Moore's-Law world, it is nothing to sneeze at.
I have old WordPress blogs sitting around. They got hacked of course. Because they are so old, it would be a huge pain to upgrade. I restored from backup and chmod 550 the whole WP installation. Much easier than upgrading and less time than migrating to static blog framework.

>Saying "shipping a new command shell". Unfortunately the URL gives me a 403.

The article is at https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050909-24/?p=34... but the link is specifically to a comment that isn't preserved. At any rate it was probably just a comment where someone asked why MS can't ship a new command shell.
At high altitude, the water stays up long enough and has such a huge impact that even its long term averaged impact is greater than the CO2.
I see it as the difference between APTs and script kiddies. Anyone with an investment of time, and a certain minimum of skill, can reconnoiter a system, identify a weakness, exploit it for access and do bad things. The level of investment is high, so the expected reward has to be worth it. Once exploits are packaged into a piece of code you can just install and run and have it break into random systems, the investment is low so you for systems vulnerable to those attacks you get many many more incidents.

Finding the requisite voice acting skills, training for the voice in question, and then identifying a number and calling it is a lot of investment in time and money and resources. (voice actors aren't cheap, especially if you're asking them to defraud someone's grandparents)

But if this project is successful in being able to mimic a person's voice saying what ever you want it to say, then anyone hanging around a theme park could capture voice signatures, and relations, and then turn around and exploit the same for fraud without anyone else getting involved.

To me, that seems like it would open up a large attack surface that is currently poorly defended at best.
> If that’s the case, why didn’t they negotiate on that clause before they were hired?

One employee has much less bargaining power than 100, especially in the wildly asymmetric dynamic of the hiring process.
One can not be the kind of racist that raises their children to hate, while still being the kind that leverages the racism in the broader culture against social and political movements that run counter to your own.

I'm not sure which is worse: one directly teaches hatred; the other takes advantage of that taught hatred to pursue its own ends, at the cost of fomenting and entrenching it.

Ok, I'm willing to believe the less sex claim for the sake of argument. But "something is broken" doesn't follow from those data. Maybe things were broken before, and they are normal now? I'd certainly believe things are different, sure.
On notice like scoring a point when you are down 10-0
It’s a guess but it’s probably integrated into multiple apps (e.g. Stocks probably also uses it) so they may have decided it is easier to avoid problems by keeping all installed.
There was a talk at Recon several years ago by Richard Johnson called "Go Speed Tracer" that goes into some of things built with a tool like this. Its a serious talk, dense with information, covers some guided fuzzing territory and alot about tracing engines (hence the name). He mentions xed by name in the talk and notes interestingly enough that despite Pin and xed being developed inhouse at intel there isn't a one-to-one parity between the silicon and the disassembler and subsequently Pin itself. Glad to be able to sift through the source now, thanks for posting this 'peter_d_sherman

I spent a week or so on site as a contractor (well technically a contractor for a company with a contract).. I certainly didn't leave thinking "hey these guys have it great".

I still keep thinking about their company policy: employees were expected to play their game every day. Can you imagine if McDonalds said they expected staff to eat at least one meal every day in-store?
