> Opus would be great with ROC because in case of buffer over/under runs the codec provides features to mask dropouts based on previous content. This is critical when using Wi-Fi.

Are you talking about its PLC or FEC? I didn't test it yet and I'm interested if people are using both of them with music.

BTW it would be also interesting to combine our FECFRAME support with Opus.
Yep, it's only possible to give full access there. No read only.
I don't understand the whataboutism happening in response to this article. Countries do bad thing sometimes, the US most certainly does. But can we not just be happy that there's some visibility being created about bad acts/actors regardless of who's reporting on it?

These camps have been going on for too long and are still under-reported. Most of the people I've talked to about it still have no idea this is going on at all.
Stuff like adjusting bug priorities and arranging for someone to tweet an announcement is the work of a good engineering manager

What is the current state of RawHammer in newly produced memory?
Stewardship in the “Age of Algorithms” (2017 by Clifford Lynch)
We have it setup at work, as an alternative way to use our HPC resource compared to the traditional Linux shell + slurm usage.

User goes with the web browser to our jupyterhub URL, logs in with our usual credentials, selects a job type (amount of memory and max duration), and jupyterhub takes care of launching a jupyter kernel as a slurm batch job on a compute node in the cluster, and proxies http I/O via the jupyterhub node to the user web browser. In the jupyter notebook, users have access to the same cluster filesystems as if she would login traditionally via ssh.
Not every piece of code needs to be signed. Should my ancient copy of Doom 2 stop working because it's not with the times? Or a level editor for it? Or an old turboC compiler?

Some software lives a LONG time and it's fine, and it's up to the user whether that software is still useful to them or not.

Seriously how many posts do we see on hacker news about like "We rebuilt this ancient machine from the 1970s to learn about it." People care about computing history. Not everyone, but there's no reason to force your software to break because the calendar rolls over. Remember Y2K? Things often live a LONG time. People are still actively writing Fortran and COBOL. The short-sightedness of this is amazing, as is the condescending "we know what's best for you" security argument.
> It was our generation who cooked up the whole "taxation is theft" trope.

I'm sorry but considering the US hasn't existed for very long, and income taxes in the US haven't existed for very long, I don't see what your point is other than to knock down something you dislike.

The idea of taxation being "theft" wasn't an invention of Boomers nor is it a particularly unnatural (or original) thought for any individual to have when encountered with collectivism.

I'm not going to blame Boomers for the current situation because there are so many assumptions I have to make about the current situation for such blame to be effective. I think one has already been thrown around in this thread, something about education costs, where such complaints make big assumptions about the value of education in the status quo or what the entire point of an education is (e.g. being a productive part of the workforce vs. having critical thinking skills vs. knowing the value of learning about being able to discipline yourself into doing it when you want).

The worst thing is, blaming Boomers for our problems makes the assumption that there is something uniquely special about that generation that allowed them to set society on the wrong path, as if every generation before and after has also been uniquely special in not having that ability.

So I find your comment particularly underhanded in taking this hatred for Boomers and lobbing some pet-dislike you have for a certain ideology. "Oh yeah, us Boomers suck, we ruined everything especially because we don't like taxes," as if Boomers have a monolithic opinion about taxation or anything for that matter.

PS: You may have stopped the Vietnam war, but what do you think paid for it? (Answer: Taxes.)
If you re-read my comment carefully, you will find that I am presenting another anecdotal counterexample, so I don't see where your coming from with that comment.

Also, we can discuss, but we should be aware that we can draw little to no conclusions.
> And to the downvoters: doesn't this entire fiasco ENTIRELY PROVE MY POINT?

No.

All it proves is that certificates expire (which is a Good Thing (tm)). If you depend on online certificates to verify content, something like this can theoretically happen.
I think happiness can be a handy practical objective if you don't analyse it too deeply.

It's interesting contrasting the countries me mentioned - Germany with Nietzsche saying "Man does not strive for happiness. Only the Englishman does" and Tolstoy and other Russian writers along the same lines. That was mostly in the 19th century and kind of followed by the English doing fairly dull money making stuff while the Germans and the Russians embarked on revolutions and wars causing huge death and suffering. Give me shallow happiness rather than that lot. Still I'm English so I fit Nietzsche's theory.
The main trust check is at installation time, but it's possible for problems to be discovered later, and Mozilla needs to be able to do something about it. Certificate non-renewal is the only robust avenue of revocation.
Weird, maybe the number of Uighur people that have been remanded to these camps has increased over time.

Meanwhile, I don't get the sense that you want to discuss this in good faith, so I'll just end things here, but first I want to add that people who want to learn more about the Xinjiang internment camps should listen to this highly informative podcast: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/uncovering-china-s-sec...

Your comment is a hasty generalization combined with a red herring.

You don’t know that the author painted your generation with an overly broad and negative brush. And even if he had done so, it wouldn’t render the article “pointless”.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Pary) is locking up people due to their ethnicity and/or beliefs.

Inside the concentration camps, they are attempting to indoctrinate the people into CCP dogma, and away from their traditional beliefs. They are also using them for slave labor.

Outside the camps, the CCP has installed suffocating surveilance systems to watch every action. They also have placed people into apartment blocks to watch their neighbors, installing card readers in the homes of people being watched that the watchers must swipe a card in to prove that they're being diligent.

The only hysteria I see is in your post.
I agree with you, it was more important to do the work than to signal.

However, I bet it’s likely they have procedures and policies for work that first involve signaling like for example the priority level.

I’d be willing to bet lots of things surrounding this issue weren’t handled in a by the book manner. So if you are always going to wing it, why have a book (or a public priority level system) at all?

Revocation should handled differently than expiration. Two entirely separate things.
For walking I'd say we're both average, but who knows it could be a minor difference like that.

As for slings I ruled them out early on - Finnish winters mean that babies, children and parents all need to be pretty warmly wrapped up. That made slings way, way too bulky and impractical.

This sounds amazing. I used Duolingo for about a year to learn Swedish. I got pretty good at reading it and hearing it, but never could speak it very well. Had I decided to learn French or Spanish I’d have a lot more opportunity to talk with other people, but I picked Swedish because it seemed interesting and easy for an English native to pick up. I would totally buy a VR rig just to do this.
But revocation is different from expiration.

If you're worried about a cert being compromised long after expiration and used to back-date a signature, you can show a warning, add a second signature with a local key at time of installation, use a blockchain to prove age, have a timestamping service generate its own signature at time of generation, etc.
That might make sense for TLS certificates where the server can change their content on a whim. A signed and installed addon has been trusted possibly for years, the need for sudden revocation is not dire enough compare to the price you have to pay for that (this failure, always-online requirement)
The safety situation sucks, but that's not really OP's problem: the sidewalk is for walking. I don't feel safe riding my bike in the street either, so I don't ride my bike in the city. What I don't do is decide that it's OK to put pedestrians in danger and break the law by biking on the sidewalk, because that would be amazingly self-centered.
Currently, no. Windows port is in our roadmap but not a priority right now. However, if someone would want to maintain it, I'm ready to accept PRs and help with porting.
Thanks!

Honestly when I read this I was not expecting it to touch politics and how societies organize themselves. My point is not that capitalism is bad for happiness, is that I don't think politics are that relevant in the discussion.

Happiness is almost always defined as the opposite to something else. As a solution for a problem. Socialism and Free markets and many other structures provide slightly different manners to enable those solutions. This is what your average zen monk would perhaps call duality.

But being happy is fundamentally a game where the only winning move is not to play. Equanimity, as acceptance of the present is a much more sustainable approach to use a more common language.

If we want to talk about which system would favour this better, well, I honestly don't know. I feel this is much more deeper matter of education, philosophy and appreciation for life. Freedom of speech is probably better for it but I'm not sure it makes a significant difference and we will not be able to measure it.

Socialism might remove the struggle of life and therefore the meaning of it. Free markets fosters artificial struggles and distractions to life, making meaning artificial. You could then argue that all meaning is ultimately artificial, which I would probably agree, but I don't see how it makes it better.

Ultimately, I don't think the solution is in the society. It must be the individual, only he/she/it transcends. Any transmission of that happens via direct experience, or a lot of books and introspection, not abstract models that you can teach easily. I have no idea how to do this at scale, I suspect it is not possible.

But the closest ideal would probably be to just teach and discuss philosophy across the world for the genuine interest of leading a better life and not to project status.

But I'm surprised this is possible without a specification - how can you test a filesystem through hexdumps? The effects of some operations are going to pretty far-reaching, surely?
Good question. I suspect it's like Germany and precision machinery/automotives.

Japan lost comprehensively enough to destroy any notion that their government was good, and had a huge US involvement in the rebuild. IOW they were rebuilt along US lines and, like Germany, benefited from the "loser's victory" in which they avoided a sharp turn towards big government.

During the same era the UK lost its own car manufacturing industry, with aggressive unions and general industrial malaise being the prime culprits.

I wish the latest release wasn't from two years ago. And that it wasn't based on webkit.
So that's pretty unfair.
1) They state they are working on a fix for normal, release channel users who don't want to run studies
2) they tell you to temporarily run studies to get the fix within up to 6 six hours (could be faster; set expectation)
3) You can explicitly install nightly or 66.4 before it's pushed if you want a fix now

Yes, it's unfortunate, I'd expect them to meet it head on, push a tested fix in a timely matter, admit a mistake was made, explain publicly how/why and apply learning moving forward. Beyond that, what's your expectation?

>In my view we should heavily tax diesel cars out of existence, at least in busy cities.

Strong opinion you have there. How much do you know about Diesel engines that utilize DEF? And how do you weigh NOX output against that from a petrol engine?

Or do you have strong opinions without knowing the actual science behind this? Because I’d like to see your sources that show modern diesels should be taxed out of existence.

Edit: Nope, turns out I received no support for the argument at all but rather OP really just means for all cars to be banned or at least taxed so only rich people can drive in London. Because when I go to Singapore with its like tax model I see equality, and opportunity!
You have the book because at one time you didn't have the book.

Literally did the same last year with Swedish. Kind of amazing how easy it was to pick up vs French.
What’s wrong with it is that it’s seemingly mandatory to include a “privilege disclaimer” in some publications. It’s often irrelevant, always boring, and indicative of an identity politics perspective that colours much of modern discourse. It’s irritating boilerplate that writers include to signal their political allegiance and inoculate themselves from criticism when writing about groups that are disfavoured in their politics: in this case middle-class white women.

It seems a lot of your recent comment history is defensive of the status quo in China. I'd be curious to know your background. Do you live there?
Classics have a way to taking things to extreme to illustrate various points. The Gulag example highlights that when a person had a choice to take the road to the left (selfish) or the right (selfless), they took the right road and gave up their self/happiness but ended up achieving meaning. Frankl's book on search for meaning also talks about meaning being more desirable than happiness.

The point is not that suffering makes ones life meaningful but the struggle or striving or the road seems to be preferred by the wise than an end state like happiness.
I try to avoid videochats. Instead I do audio only and walk (either outside, or just around the office). People sometimes balk, but when they see I give the call my full attention instead of turning on video, muting my mic and "multitasking" they usually warm up.

Also exercise, specifically squats do wonders. Consider a weightlifting regimen. (I found Starting Strength useful)
I'd be tempted to treat it as a graph and approach it something like:

node_colors = get_all_node_colors(G)

for color in node_colors:
H = prune_nodes_with_color(G, color)

for subgraph in H:
if node_count(subgraph) > node_count(max_subgraph):
max_subgraph = subgraph
I grew up in extreme poverty and for myself (and others in a similar situation) moving was, perhaps contrary to intuition, a pretty common thing. Whenever a better paying job or cheaper housing popped up, we moved. There are a number of factors that make it somewhat easier to move when you're in poverty. In particular you're always renting and you have negligible items of wealth. For instance you don't need to worry about a place accepts pets when you can't even afford a cat. An extra $50 a month is a pretty big deal when you don't have anything so there's much more of an external drive to move for what otherwise people might just simply accept. There are also extrinsic factors that, more or less, force moving when you're in poverty. Indeed FiveThirtyEight dug up the stats and people who earn < $5000 per year are just about twice as likely to move (13%), in any given year, than those earning > $100,000 (7%). [1]

In some cases there are going to be some extenuating circumstances that prevent things like moving. For instance, extreme disability is one possibility, though that does not seem to be the issue in this case. The mother seems able, younger mid aged, and had 3 children. If she was disabled in any significant way, the media pieces and her crowd funding would also have mentioned that, to further draw at pathos.

Ultimately you cannot discount the fact that there are many negligent parents. In this case the parent is claiming, in her crowd funding page [2], that she only realized pollution might be a trigger for her daughter's asthma, after she died. Quoting her, "Since her death I have become aware of the dangers posed by air pollution and discovered that our home, located approximately 25 metres from the South Circular in London, was a known air pollution ‘hot spot’ and started to put two and two together. ". It's insane and inexcusable that somebody can have a daughter with severe asthma and not realize pollution and fumes can trigger it. That's something any 10 second search on asthma would turn up.

At the minimum they should add a testsuite that runs at least a month into the future to catch these kinds of things.

There was a similar issue[0] a few years ago that was only caught a month in advance.

Even better would be to set things up to only do a verify on install instead on every startup.

Hi,

I am interested with ML Engineer. I want to ask some questions to you. I am not in US, I will need visa sponsorship. In the job posting it seems you can be sponsor to H-1B. Can you give some info about hiring process? Did you hire anyone with H-1B in the past? If everything are done successfully, how long does it take?

Thanks!
Definitely agree.

Otherwise, why shouldn't drive their car or motorbike on the sidewalk whenever they feel the street isn't safe enough?

Sidewalks are for walking.
There's very little coal in the UK now. There are fewer than 10 coal power stations left, and the nearest is over 100 miles from London.

The specific London problem is traffic, and maybe added to by the current fashion for log stoves. You get the constant thick taste of the fumes about 10 miles outside the centre, and it's there permanently.

Just about everywhere inside the north and south circular, which is more like 4 or 5 miles outside the centre, is badly polluted, but the south circular exceptionally so - it's almost constantly gridlocked and wasn't built for the volume of traffic it has. South Circular makes it sound like a major road or city motorway - it's used as one, and was probably intended to one day be rebuilt as one. Except it's just a regular one lane each way street for most of it, with lights and junctions, and lined with houses and shops.

So dirt and grit if you leave windows open, or washing out, black gunk in the nostrils and the constant taste.

Locals get used to it to some extent. It strikes us every single time we visit the relatives down there.
in my case I had to copy the link and paste into a fresh tab as clicking actually caused firefox (nightly) to block the install with a message: "news.ycombinator.com - Nightly prevented this site from asking you to intsall software on your computer"

>We rolled out a hotfix that re-enables affected add-ons. The fix will be automatically applied in the background within the next few hours. For more details, please check out the update at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-failing-install...

Which is like "we did something we shouldn't have causing unauthorised changes to your computer, so we're going to make unauthorised changes to fix it".

Quite telling is that this is supposed to protect us from other developers. On the add-on screen "Enable" is greyed out, there's no "Enable even though Mozilla doesn't like it".

The UX is just like the "fuck you this computer isn't yours it belongs to Microsoft and we'll do what we like with it" that I thought I'd left in the past decades ago.

It's not your computer Mozilla, you fucked it up, you don't get to mess around with it without asking the owner.

My understanding is that this is literally illegal in the UK.

Mozilla barely had any trust left to burn IMO but they sure went all out.
