I was a bit hesitant to write it, but that was just my friend's experience on the MTB circuit over the last 15-20 years. US Postal and Armstrong were awful and shameless, but I think they were an outlier among American pro teams. Also, there's less money in mountain biking, and it's not really a team sport, so the kind of organized team doping Armstrong created is much less likely to happen.

Anyways, I don't follow cycling as closely as I used to, in part because the pervasive doping was just so discouraging. Hopefully some combination of out-of-competition testing and biological passport will finally make the sport relatively clean.
Curated list security tools that do what they say (The good list)
I had a skim over the full PDF (Thanks scihub)

From what I can tell the researchers have found that many attacks on C code involve using undefined behavior or very rarely used features. For example out of bounds array access. They seem to have some system that is looking out for these things which normal programs almost never do

"Morpheus similarly makes use of tag checkingpolicies to provide additional security guarantees via itsattack detector. This detector watches for suspicious oper-ations that are indicative of ongoing attacks and responds inone of two ways: raising an exception or triggering a churncycle. Morpheus raises security exceptions on a few grievousoperations, listed under the “ABORT” rules"

It seems like this chip is purely focused on trying to make C code safer.

Draft/normal was the default in Word 2003. Most people have used it.

The problem with page layout mode is that any non-trivial format change, insertion, or deletion requires repagination and the UI freezes until that is completed. Draft mode repaginates asynchronously so that it remains responsive. Comparing a WYSIWYG editor to a plain text editor is no contest as the former performs much more work to layout the text.
Thanks, I didn’t know about that.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the clarification.
I loved the Pimsleur method, but for Western Armenian, it stopped really early. Only 10 lessons!

The biggest problem with Pimsleur is that for a language like Armenian, you have to learn to read to continue self learning. It's not like Spanish. I really couldn't find materials to bridge the gap from Pimsleur to more advanced studies.

I'm not really sure what the "most popular" webtoons among non-Koreans.
I know some American friends who showed me some that were supposedly popular, but I couldn't recognize.

That's certainly not a trend in mainstream webtoons, which are usually the Naver Webtoons. Nearly all (can't think of any one based on something) of them on that platform are original content. Sometimes they get published as novels. Like Noblesse.

I think the particular one you mentioned is based on a webnovel (similar to webtoons but novels).

I definitely see this trend in Japanese mangas though.

The linked page is a bit misleading, because it's not necessarily so much that people are dissatisfied with their current time zone as they are dissatisfied with it changing for half the year.

The linked page portrays it as e.g. CA moving to "MST" but that doesn't actually accurately represent what's proposed, because the lack of a DST switch is meaningfully different from just moving to the same timezone as current Mountain time states.

After the Wikileaks Vault 7 releases, specifically the details about how Marble and Umbrage make it easy to implement a digital false-flag attack, I don't see how anyone can be certain of the identity of a sufficiently skilled attacker in the modern era. Any state security agency in any reasonably-advanced country likely has their own equivalents of the Marble and Umbrage tools at this point.

Was this attack from China? Was it from the US making it look like China to justify US economic and diplomatic retaliation? Was it from Germany looking to embarrass the US with a false-false-flag attack making it look like the US made a false-flag attack on China after the US spied on Merkel's phone conversations?

We could go down rabbit holes forever. Who can be completely trusted to speak openly, knowledgeably, and honestly on specific instances of attacks? Every last individual and organization in that world is neck-deep in their own agendas.

I'm not sure that the idea of contextual vs non-contextual keywords is relevant here unless I've misunderstood you. I assumed that the 'async' keyword was reserved in 2018 edition to ensure that no matter how they chose to implement it (prefix, postfix, whatever) they had the flexibility to pick after the fact. I don't think they closed the door on a new, non-breaking non-contextual operator, although I wasn't a party to any of those conversations.

Releasing 'async' and capturing '@async' would be 2015- and 2018- edition safe change unless there's something I've overlooked. It shouldn't break any 2018-edition code to make the 'async' keyword available, only to capture a new, currently-valid one, and I assume that's part of why they took this approach. I feel like the ball's still on the court until someone writes some valid 2018 edition code utilizing the keyword as defined in this proposal. This would also mark precedent for not reserving additional currently-valid keywords for postfix operations.

I'm proposing releasing 'async' and capturing '@async' as a new non-contexual composite keyword. In the state the language is right now, this change should keep the grammar context-free (except for raw string literals as is the case now afaik).
That story is nice and it’s plausible. It’s also subtlety different from the story told by the article.

For instance, nobody admitted they didn’t read the fine print or objected at the time, or anything like that. In light of that, my story that “some employees had a change of heart about their contracts and took up activism” would be just as valid. You might not care about that distinction, but it puts the events in a slightly different light from the other explanation about “employees don’t have leverage when they were being hired”.

And yeah, your story would also make sense if this was a play about taking the power back over their own contracts. But considering that they are still striking over existing employee contracts would contradict your story.

Since I’m being downvoted anyway, fuck it. I think these employees are being duplicitous or at least misleading about their intentions. I think their activism has overridden any ideals they might have had about negotiating power. And I think “forced arbitration” is not worthy of moral condemnation. You are free to tell me all the ways those are terribly wrong ways to think.

It's my impression that lifetime is mostly efficiency degradation from UV exposure. If that's true, then it seems that if you have fewer solar hours per day, the panel will just retain its efficiency longer until eventually you reach the same lifetime energy produced.

I think part of the weirdness of the market is that they, unconsciously, are straddling the "content" and "souvenir/collectible" market. It's sort of like vinyl records today in that regard.

I'm a moderate enthusiast-- probably have like 200 volumes of English translations. I am not really interested in digital platforms, both because then you get no physical souvenir, and because I don't trust them to not implode suddenly. I suspect most long-term fans have a series or two they loved but had to give up on because the translator went bust or it disappeared from whatever service they subscribed to.

Cyber security has a much lower bar of entry, AI requires much more technical and theoretical knowledge to tackle.

Cyber Security can be anything form a SOC analyst who looks at system logs and monitoring systems to a cryptographer.

For the most part Cyber Security is as varied as IT itself.

AI on the other hand would require a very specific set of skills and theoretical knowledge and a very good grasp of mathematics the latter is where most people fail even if they know the maths without being a mathematician at heart and being able to use it essentially as a language you likely won’t get too far even with all of the abstractions deep learning frameworks provide.

This isn’t just because of the mathematical nature of deep learning but also because the applications themselves are also mathematically complex e.g. computer vision.

This is basically the equivalent of asking what should you do website development or signal processing as a developer these aren’t exactly on the same level.

Web comics were pretty big in the West for a while, too - I guess they never really got large enough to be commercialized and produced on an industrial scale, though.

> I think you are furthering the point of prediction vs. modeling, right?

Kinda. I just wanted to point of in general why the models are categorize as statistical model vs non statistical models. Certain area of statistic do prediction aka forecasting too (time series). It's just statistical models gives CI for their prediction and ML usually do not give any, most of the time, it's created empirically and have no theory to get a CI.

As for Confidence Rating, I have no idea what it is I've tried Google but I couldn't find much. What field is this?
In the age of smart phones and smart watches, we have the ability to define two dimensional time zones and skew the time each night by a minute or so, in order to achieve the ultimate goal: the sun always rising at a constant time (e.g. seven a.m.). That is how we evolved to live: human time, optimized for our circadian rhythms.
From the article: - "The attack on this building was part of other offensive operations that took place after Hamas was alleged to have fired rockets into Israel over the weekend."

"Alleged", right, there were aliens firing rockets on Israel. There is nobody else to fire the rockets. Only Hamas has them. And placement of the "offensive" as a response on firing rockets at the Israel's civilians. Looks like this is very offensive to protect your civilians!

> Emacs, make and bash for all programming.

I'm validated!

More seriously though, I find these particular choices interesting. For one thing, they're indicative of his experience as a "greybeard" programmer [1]: Someone who was still active until very recently but started programming 50 years ago. He was always try to bring forwards some computer science ideas from the 60s that never really made it into the modern zeitgeist. His tool choices seemed to represent that. Old tools that had some foundational flexibility that allowed them to stay relevant through the decades.

[1] and not the curmudgeonly kind who will only use what they learned so many decades ago, as demonstrated by his selection of more modern tools for other tasks
The philosophy of Go, as far as I can tell, is opinionated simplicity. In this way, it is fantastic at concurrency.

It gives you a simplified fork in goroutines, a way to safely pass by value or signal between these through channels, and structures like select to psuedo randomly deal with race conditions.

That stuff is all awesome!

But when you are talking about performance, opinionated simplicity is a bad philosophy. You are going to want the finer grained control the poster is asking for, and which Go deliberately doesn't allow for. C, C++, and Rust will always have a speed advantage because they lack the overhead of the GC and were designed with allowing the developer minute control of the system, which is the space to make such optimizations.

That said, opininated simplicity means every Go codebase I drop into looks roughly the same. That is not true in the above langauges, precisely because they allow for more control.

To me, Go's ideal use case is the domains of Java, Python, NodeJS, and even Elixir -- where it has a performance edge in many cases and where its consistant style really shine.

All that to say, Go is bad at performance optimized concurrency, as designed.

I'd started a project to build a Z-80 based retrocomputer a while back, and frankly got stalled out due to being busy with other projects... so the idea of a nice, inexpensive Z-80 computer that I can (mostly) just plug in and play with is very enticing. That it has a full QWERTY keyboard is just icing on the cake.

And truth be told, for something that old I'd say it's pretty attractive stylistically as well. Whoever designed this thing (from an industrial design viewpoint) did a really nice job.

San Francisco First U.S. City to Ban Police from Using Facial Recognition Tech
Language syntax and futures is only a half of the problem. IMO actual async IO implementation is harder.

Too many incompatible platform-specific APIs: epoll and AIO on Linux, kqueue on BSD and OSX, IOCP and new thread pool API on Windows. I’m pretty sure I forgot couple others, and each of them have non-trivial amount of quirks, bugs, and performance-ruining edge cases. Also these APIs are not directly compatible to each other.

To be usable, async IO needs to be integrated into the rest of IO. You can’t just place that on top, e.g. Java did that, IMO didn’t work particularly well.

The combination of the above makes creating good cross-platform abstraction for async IO challenging.

Not saying impossible, but it’s very hard to do.

I’ve tried once in C++, for that project I needed epoll and iocp, but I wasn’t able within reasonable time. Ended up swapping relatively large IO-related parts of my app depending on platform.
xkcd has you covered: https://xkcd.com/2050/
The colors are really hard to understand.

Essentially, gray means "would stay on daylight savings time," i.e., follow the time to their left in winter and to their right in summer. The colors mean "would stay on this time year-round." So if a state changes color, it means "drop DST and use summer time", and if it stays the same, it means "drop DST and use winter time."

The states that would stay on winter time are ID, AZ, CO, NM, ND, KS, OK, HI, AK, IL, MI, OH, NY, PA. The states that would stay on summer time are WA, OR, CA, MT, WY, UT, MN, IA, MO, AR, TN, MS, AL, FL, SC, NC, WV, DE, CT, RI, VT, NH, MA, ME, DC. Some are undecided as what to do (i.e., GA, TX and VA), while IN proposes to move to the Central Time winter time rather than stay in either Eastern summer or winter time.
