> In contracting the big differentiator seems to be working for yourself vs being sold by a company, so go to more meetups, try getting freelance jobs on your own. I don't know anything about the regulatory environment for such but it's supposed to have gotten easier in recent years.

The biggest differentiator really is - be in demand. Companies prefer to hire employees and get contractors only if they must, i.e. if no one wants to join as a perm at the wage they offer. So, to contract, you need to be at the high end of the market. Luckily, due to craziness of the tech threadmill, all it takes is getting some experience in the newest/hottest tech in a given area (such as frontend/backend/mobile/bigdata etc.)
“Putting warnings on things and measuring the change would be a great place to start.”

From what I see people see the warnings and calories counts and they know that these foods are not good. But they really don’t seem to know how to eat right. I hear stuff like “You don’t get enough protein from vegetarian food” or they think eating be an appetizer plus a full dinner is healthy as long as it’s organic. Or they eat baked potato chips instead of fried. The perception of what the body needs is so far from reality that it will be really hard to change.

Thanks, great run down. Bad for my wallet in the near to mid future, but great to see the things improve that have a great impact on the usability of a camera.
But it is not only time and skill, but money and environment as well. In addition to the healthier food possibly costing more, you have to own a grill. And a location that allows for grills (apartment complexes often ban them, and have awful community ones). And the weather has to be appropriate for grilling.

If they added a polar orbit to the constellation, they would populate it with just one or two launches. So the costs of adding that polar coverage would be incurred basically all at once, and would have to be recouped over the lifetime of those satellites.
He doesn't need a specialist lawyer from the start. He might need one if he actually sues. But just for advice you can get some general trademark lawyer.

It's not even clear what is the best place to fight this. I actually think it's not in China but in the US. They already have a trademark in the US and Apple is a US company. Why did they already assume they need to fight this in China and conclude based on "comments" and "research" that it's a lost cause. It's Apple that deleted their game not China.
As a person with prosopagnosia (vide http://web.archive.org/web/20080704154655/http://www.prosopa...), I would love to have personal software for recognizing people.

America isn't turning against anything. There was no shortage of people that bought the new iPhone with face scan technology.

I believe we live in a society where it's already possible to track the vast majority of people to a general area 100% of the time. Technology is progressing, soon it will be real-time tracking of targeted individuals 100% of the time. That will slowly expand to all individuals. Between cell phone tracking, license plate scanners, and facial recognition cameras, the system knows where you are.
Except it wasn't a pardon but a commutation - General Petreaus got an actual pardon for spilling secrets to his biographer he was having an affair with - an obvious position for a honeypot.

That still shows a less than friendly attitude to whistleblowers and a hypocritical double standard of holding those in power to a far lower standard. It stinks of cynical "we just want the bad PR to go away but don't want to say she did the right thing" so just commuting to validate the court ruling. Meanwhile Petreaus we should assert that the ruling class are seperate and should be sancrosanct - pardon!

Japan has to sign the Plaza Accord https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_Accord#Effects when it positioned to challenge US economy. It is attributed as the main reason to their Lost Decades. You bet that Japanese forgot about this, and Korean and Chinese do not know this.

What US gov initially wanted probably is something like Plaza Accord with Chinese, but they have the size to resist, so Trump showed the nuclear option. Like some commenters pointed out here, it may work in short term, but it will hurt US companies in long term.
AES-256 is believed to be quantum-resistant. The only known quantum attack on AES-256 is utilizing Grover's algorithm, which is an universal approach.

As for assymetric crypto, the ones we have now are susceptible to quantum attacks. There are a bunch of proposals for quantum-proof algorithms but nothing officially standardized yet. There is a NIST competition going on right now that is trying to find a new suite of assymetric cryptographic algorithms [1]. You can find an awesome talk on the topic here [2].

If quantum computers are possible, we should switch to quantum proof algorithms now rather than later, because then we'd reduce the traffic that can be decrypted at a later point in time. It's quite dangerous right now considering that basically everything is protected by quantum-non-resistant ciphers.

Singapore is always the same temperature -- very humid and 32 degrees during the day. It's never super hot (temperature record is something like 35), but it's always hot and muggy and about to rain.

I used to walk from Sim Lin Square to Raffles, less than 1km, always regretted it.

Clarification would be if you didn't have to change. If it's a 10 minute taxi or 2 metro changes, I know which I do in SG. I commuted from Haugong via taxi for a month rather than take a bus/metro/bus

In the past, faster transportation also made communication faster. This isn't the case anymore. There are also diminishing returns.

As an aside, I sometimes have to play UX designer when there is no one qualified available, and I've used every wireframing tool in the market trying to find something that allows me to create UIs as quickly as I can think. A few weeks ago I gave up and in frustration I put together a quick powerpoint so the product team could work on it themselves. It turns out PP is exactly what I was looking for! I found that all the other tools required a lot of setup and configuration that slowed me down, and powerpoint is so simple that you can just start plopping squares down on the page and put a few links in-between slides. I think the real gain for me is that most products I work on end up being data grid heavy, and creating tables in balsalmiq/whatever is always a nightmare.
There used to be a file that contained the SHA-1 hashes of the entire bootstrap chain; this is before we went with "rust 1.x builds with rust 1.(x - 1)". so i just counted. About 300 of them, three builds per bootstrap chain, plus some extra for all of the versions since we switched over.

I don't think anyone has actually done so, so I'm not sure how long, but probably a very, very long time. And you can't parallel it.

From what I remember about Google Loon was that it could be deployed in areas after a disaster. That way any infrastructure that was unaffected by the disaster would not be brought down due to the influx of people trying to communicate to those in and out side the immediate area.

A diverse diet consisting of low average insulin index foods is the ticket to a long health span. No need to watch macros as long as the diet meets this criteria.
There is a whole 'lobby' that tries to convince public opinion and government that bad diets, including too much processed food, are not people's fault because they are just victims of corporations and capitalist exploitation.

This is of course total BS and eating healthily is not more expensive, and in any case in Western countries food has never been so cheap relative to income [0] [1].

You're being pedantic here. If you're counting calories and trying to stay within some sort of range you're probably going to be OK - especially if you're working out even a little bit.

If the calorie info makes you choose a salad over a plate of fried food covered in grease it is 100% doing its job.
And plenty of ingredients that you use in cooking from scratch are processed in some way. Not that I am disagreeing with the main idea.

This article from a couple months ago has some info on the new "Moon to Mars" mission directorate NASA wanted to establish, separate from the existing operations-focused Human Exploration & Operations Directorate. As the original submitter's article mentions, the proposal was rejected by lawmakers: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/budget/2019/03/new-mission-di...

> “What we’re talking about is creating a new mission directorate at NASA,” Bridenstine said during the March 27 hearing. “And it’s focused on development activities that are very large in scale. And that mission directorate, we would call it Moon to Mars Mission Directorate, because it’s going to be focused on getting to the moon and using those capabilities to go on to Mars. So on the management side we’re trying to separate operations from development so that we can get a better mix of the right people in the right places to accomplish these objectives.”

> The problem, Bridenstine said, is that the current division between operations and development is muddled. Operations refers to the actual missions: Flying to and resupplying the International Space Station, for example. Development refers to the design and implementation of never-before-used technologies.

We usually settle with the size of an integer register, which, in modern x86's, is 64 bits. In the case of the 6502, it'd be 8. Susy, the coprocessor used for the Lynx, was not the CPU running the show and I don't think it was able to run its own standalone programs (that claim I need to check).

The cancer warnings are to the point where we need to let people put a “nothing in this product is known to cause cancer in the state of California” smiley face sticker on things.

Many stores just have blanket warnings that most products they sell cause cancer and contain bpa.
I think it's more likely that they stumbled into a profitable position in some market or another, and that became their bread-and-butter. Being successful for a long time breeds incompetence.
This is amazing - I wish I had this a few weeks ago when I was making a presentation. Does anyone know if images made when on a paid plan would be usable for commercial/publication purposes forever? Or is is only licensed for as long as you have a subscription? I tried to find that on the website but I might just have been missing something obvious, or maybe theres some usual legal standard about how this sort of IP licensing is done by default?

A regular oven is one of the best tools you have to make food from scratch, yet people seem to want to find every way to avoid using them. They try to use toaster ovens, microwave ovens, convection ovens, air fryers, instant pots, etc... when most of the time a regular oven can do the job. You can make a whole meal with a few baking sheets and 45 minutes. You just put the stuff in and check on it once in a while. Take out the veg after 25 min. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
add manipulative/psychological marketing techniques to your list as well.

> the unprocessed diet they fed participants cost 40% more than the ultra-processed diet. And lots of American families don't have more money to spend on food.

This fragment made me so sad. if the above is true, it basically means many people in the USA don't have enough money to eat real food and have to live on processed junk instead.
China's population is concentrated in one part of the country. That makes it easier to serve them more efficiently with mass transit. This isn't true for the United States. The population resides on the coasts, which you can serve with high-speed rail, but connecting the two coasts with the inland population centers via rail is a much, much bigger project.
Well, the calorie estimate is also just that, an estimate. So you don't even know what the real number is.

There is a variety of post-quantum public-key cryptography. These cryptosystems are based on a few different intractibility assumptions: multivariate polynomials, lattices, error-correcting codes and supersingular isogenies.

Code is available for most of these proposals because NIST is currently running a PQCrypto Standardization CFP[1]. However I strongly recommend against deploying your own post-quantum cryptosystem for a few reasons:

1. As I've cited elsewhere in this thread, this paper notwithstanding, most leading researchers in the field are frankly bearish about the prospects of 2048-bit RSA being broken in the next 20 years or so.[2] This can obviously change, which leads me to the next few points of consideration.

2. Most of the post-quantum cryptosystems are not well-studied, relatively speaking. They are fundamentally unproven compared to classical systems - we just haven't had enough academic scrutiny yet. It's still premature to say which post-quantum cryptosystems will remain secure under academic scrutiny over the next few years. Many were dropped from consideration after Round 1 of the NIST standardization review.

3. Most (perhaps all) of the implementations are immature and not well-supported. The majority of them are proofs of concept for NIST, not production-ready code. Authors themselves will caution you against using them. We don't have a libnacl for post-quantum public-key cryptography right now, which means that you'd be substantially rolling your own interfaces to underlying primitive implementations. It's hard enough maintaining secure cryptography in production when everything has been done to keep you from footgunning yourself - you won't have such guardrails for post-quantum cryptosystems.

4. Unfortunately, all post-quantum cryptosystems are grievously inefficient in either time or spatial performance compared to classical cryptosystems. As a general rule of thumb, lattice and error-correcting code based cryptography tends to be on the faster side with very large key requirements, and isogeny-based cryptography tends to be on the slower side with lower key size requirements. But all are noticeably slower than classical systems across both dimensions.

You should wait until these cryptosystems have been proven out by academic and industrial research. Google[3] began implementing lattice-based cryptography for TLS in Google Chrome in 2016. Adam Langley has a nice writeup[4] which also includes a few performance concerns. He's also written a blog post to talk about the next round of implementations they'll start experimenting with[5].

> Write-only, because only the functions (‘WORDS’) are named - no parameter names

You could use lambda notation to name the parameters of a function, while still preserving postfix function application as in FORTH. This would effectively give you De Bruijn notation, in which named lambda was often denoted `[var] expr`. Though, ironically, De Bruijn is also known for his "nameless" De Bruijn indexes, which dispense with the very naming of function parameters, replacing these names with what are in effect references to positions on some abstract argument stack.
The FFT using real numbers is not lossless (except in certain numerically coincidental cases that are not mush practical use), but there are lossless approximations used routinely in compression to avoid error at this point.

For fixed input and output (say 8 bit to 8 bit data), it's easy to make lossless FFTs, since the final truncation or rounding can be designed to never lose information. So in these cases, even a FFT based on , say, IEEE 754 doubles can be made lossless when using integral input and output.

A similar example is converting 8 bit RGB to 0-1 floating point by dividing the color channel by 255.0, which is lossy as real numbers since the resulting floating point is truncated (except precisely for inputs 0 and 255). However, multiplying the result by 255.0, and rounding appropriately, you can recover each input without loss. So this is an example of a lossless transformation that has lossy steps in between. This can be done in almost any case you need to do it.

FFTs in compression are not used to lose values, but to change signal domain, where perhaps interesting and lossy things can be done.

Google lossless FFT or reversible FFT and dig around.

At the end of the day, however, it's not FFTs that are useful very much in compression. They're only used for signal changes at best, and they've been made obsolete for the most pary by other techniques.

Joel certainly makes string-concatenation look difficult in C.

Maybe a couple of things to add:

1) It's surprisingly easy to carry around the size of strings next to the string. Then when you do a string concat like this, you can just add up the integer amounts and you know how much to allocate.

2) While it is harder to do this kind of ad-hoc string manipulation in C than in higher-level languages, it's worth noting that "the C way" is also "the disk way". Whatever string-copying function you write in C will likely just work for files too, whereas in a higher-level language you'll probably assume your Strings are in RAM, and then write some more code to instantiate a BufferedWhatever to copy your RAM Strings onto disk.
