"When someone sends a confidential mode message, Gmail removes the message body and any attachments from the recipient's copy of the message. These are replaced with a link to the content. Gmail clients make the linked content appear as if it's part of the message. Third-party mail clients display a link in place of the content."

So it's neither confidential (google can read it), nor an email (as it's just an email containing a link to some google site).

Serious question: Why can't I use tables and define cells sizes in terms of vh and vw?
Their external FOSS dependencies are imported into the monorepo and are built from there. So they get to use the same pattern there. Someone who updates the copy of the dependency in the monorepo will see the test failures of their reverse dependencies at that time, before the change is merged to master.

(Yeah they use different version control terminology since their monorepo doesn't use git, but I've translated.)
They all have Xenon thrusters and can move, however will do so only when needed to dodge other satellites or debris. Changing their orbit significantly is prohibitively expensive.

> The new syscall implementation would still need a fallback impl. for older kernels after all.

Yup, this is why I'm planning on getting a sane API available in <https://github.com/cyphar/filepath-securejoin> which projects can use so that the correct thing is done with both old and new kernels. Right now it has a (slighly) improved version of the code Docker has, but I'm rewriting it.

It should be noted that there are lots of examples of interfaces which are incredibly hard to make safe without openat2 -- such as O_CREAT.
Aside from arbitrary rules there is also a long history of shady and intrusive behaviors (e.g. sharing pics from naked body scanners, groping kids, no fly lists, racial profiling, radiation concerns, ...)

To be fair, in the pre-TSA era, airport security was also pretty ineffective. But now it’s much more in your face, and insanely expensive.

I sympathize with the agents somewhat. It seems like a shitty job.
There is nothing modern about seeking non-dissenting opinions. What is modern is how easy and automatic it is. If you aren't convinced, a simple google search will bring up plenty of research papers on the topic.
These two projects look great, and are exactly the kind of projects where I can see Google making an impact. I think it is extremely likely that we will struggle to build working reactors until we have an "AutoCAD for magnetic containment" which is able to accurately simulate real world plasma physics, after which I expect that a working design will be discovered within a few years, and then constructed within a decade or two. This follows from the simple observation that the build-test cycle for real world reactors is something like a decade, and for simulated reactors something like 1 day - a 36500X decrease in iteration time is a game changer. Such a program is very non-trivial and no one today knows how to write one.
If I understand correctly, you propose using GPUs so that traditional chess engines can search even more nodes per second.

Leela evaluates three orders of magnitude less nodes per second than Stockfish (70K vs 70M), yet it still won. You need to search smarter, not deeper, as this result shows.
That all makes sense, but the OP said that the scan didn’t identify their HTTP server. I wonder why.

I know nothing of this system other than reading this page, but my basic understanding is that Stockfish is more of a traditional algorithm that simulates possibilities and finds the most likely path to a win ('IF I move my knight here, they could do X or Y or Z...'), but LC0 is a neural network, which don't really process absolutes, just probabilities in terms of floating point numbers. It might be something to do with that.

Ebay is moving away from its tight integration with Paypal and has a deal with a new payment processor (Adyen) after it's current paypal deal ends in 2020.

These SpaceX satellites were reported as UFOs, so they were clearly quite visible to people not looking for them.
I have a U.S. Political History textbook (highschool level I believe) from 1949. The first page after the table of contents features a picture of a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion, and a blurb about how the U.S.A. created an ultimate weapon that saved the lives of millions by forcing Japan to make peace. It was such a shock opening to that page the first time I opened the book... Understandable that the myth has propagated for so long; we were indoctrinating our children with this misinformation.
Pre 911 airport security was privately run and in the wake of the attacks it was taken over by the Federal government.

I believe that although new security measures were felt to be necessary in light of the awareness of how much damage a hijacked plane can cause, the change to management by a federal agency with no real incentive to make things move quickly, or to even demonstrate that precautions are reasonable, wasn’t as successful as we might have hoped.

It is odd, for example, how they screen pilots ... who are obviously already in a position to do the thing we are most avidly trying to prevent ... this causes many people to feel this is all “security theater” that may create a deterrent effect through psychology but may not be doing much to prevent future attacks.

Also the TSA employees don’t seem to fear for their jobs much ... which would be consistent with many other government employees ... so they are occasionally quite rude, although many are friendly and professional.

Obviously the airlines are perfectly positioned to have motivation both to speed boarding and reduce risk of damage to people and equipment. It’s plausible that if they were in charge of security, and had to answer to insurance e companies who also assess risk, we would end up with a far better implementation.
Small correction -- you'd want to O_PATH, then verify, and then do a real open (by doing a re-open through /proc/self/fd). Sometimes, tricking you into opening a file is sufficient to cause problems.
The security standards have not improved - tsa fails more than 90% of their audits, and there are many private security professionals screaming into the void about the pointlessness of TSA's methodologies.

Easy example - the addition of tsa creates huge lines that are excellent, dense targets for terrorists.
It's not just they're unexpected. They're both expected and unexpected. You also expect a manual to have details. It's the sudden ending that is both fitting and not fitting that creates the humour shock.

I've spent most of my self aware life so far online. I don't want to be one of those "phones are bad" people who are scared by technology they don't understand. But I'm starting to change my mind.

Recently while waiting to board a plane, I saw a kid browsing instagram. The speed at which they were consuming content actually shocked me. They were rapidfire scrolling through pages and pages of the same kind of junk that's been in tabloids for decades. ~5 pictures a second. For half an hour, almost non-stop. I'm not sure why, but it really stuck out as deeply unsettling to me. I can't imagine that being healthy.

That assumes that people in the US are greedy and not in other places. I think one can are that every other place had some sort of efficient mechanism to stop that greed.

If the US is the outlier the question should be what condition that are US specific made it happen, not a general concept like greed.

> Why would _outside contributors_ care about any of that?

Because not every outside contribution touches no popular code, and not every outside contribution goes directly into the upstream. Long-running external branches are common, reasonable, and easy in git; when I was trying my hand at a V8 port, I was able to keep it building against upstream V8 the whole time (2+ months, and would've been longer if I brought it to completion).

If you register your LLC in a different state from where you live, you need to hire a Registered Agent in that state for legal reasons, which adds a bit of cost (about $100-200 per year) and some complexity.
"No food required" is quite nice. Technology for full robots may require quite some time, but before that it is probably possible to create artificial stomach that can replace your stomach and gut, and instead of eating 3 times a day and going to toilet you simply could replace a bottle once a week.
I'm the primary developer for a heuristic, nondeterministic algorithm. It's both production software, and also a neverending research project. Specifically, I can't guarantee that a particular random seed will always produce identical results because that hobbles my ability to make future improvements to the heuristic. I've got reasonable coverage of my base classes and subroutines, but minor changes to the heuristic can have significant impact on the "power" of the heuristic.

My solution was to add a calibrated set of benchmarks. For each problem in the test suite, I measure the probability of failure. From that probability, I can compute the probability of n repeated failures. Small regressions are ignored, but large regressions (p < .001) splat on CI. It's fast enough, accurate enough, and brings peace of mind.

I understand that, and why, engineers hate this. But it's greatly superior to nothing.
you are taking off shoes and passing through full body scanners ?
The biggest problem is the rank inefficiency of the TSA. I don't think I've flown in the years since 9/11 where I didn't have to wait in line to get into the terminal, with everyone funneled through one or two scanner lines, while there are a dozen TSA employees lounging around doing nothing, and four or five additional lines that could be used sitting idle and unused.

Throw in some stupid, arbitrary, and unpredictably enforced rules, and hassling about taking off your shoes, belt, unpacking all your luggage, dumping out your ziplock baggy of minuscule volumes of toothpaste and shampoo, confiscating your fingernail clippers, and all the other indignities that are forced on you by petty tyrant mall-cop types.

In a capitalist society status is defined entirely by ownership of capital, and low status is defined by very limited capital.

So of course luxury goods are defined primarily by their capital cost, supported by subsidiary markers like cultural capital and social proof. Actual utility (and quality) come second.

Competitive status display is entirely about the careful curation of success tokens - clothes (+ accessories), car, house, sexual and breeding partner(s), and the amount of autonomy, agency, and political and cultural capital at work.

Ads exist to promote competitive status display through curated consumption of success tokens.

It's a sport no one can ever win, but for some people it's enough to be on the leaderboard for a while.

Finally they gave up putting everyone through the genital analyzer and just had us all go through the metal detector, only first I had to get yelled at for not putting my stuff in a bin ("but sir there are no bins"), then for putting it in the orange bin ("orange means stop! Don't use the orange bin!"), then for not going through the metal detector at I guess the flat out Sprint they wanted me to go through it at.

The fuck is the point. This shit depresses my partner every time we travel. It feels like we're cattle. It's dehumanizing and none of my representatives have the power to do anything about it - why do I even have representatives?

Using the honorific will typically garner me more good will down here. If I was back in Wisconsin, it'd piss people off, so I don't use it there, for example.

Leaving some gaps and being rough...

poor: below $25,000 (below an E-4 in the military)

lower middle: that $50,000

middle: around $70,000

upper middle: $150,000 to $500,000

rich or wealthy: doesn't matter, could be $0 because assets, but probably over $1,000,000

The poor are way worse off than the 40th percentile family earning $50,000 per year, and the rich are way better off than the 95th percentile family earning $250,000 per year.

None of those people in the 40th to 95th percentile range are either rich or poor. There are not many poor people in America, and there are very few rich people in America. Most people are in the middle, where they can get by just fine if they spend wisely and don't hit an abnormal disaster.

It takes about $450,000 to be a 1%er, up at the 99th percentile. Even that isn't "rich" or "wealthy". It's just the high end of upper middle class. It is almost certain that the author was at the lower end of upper middle class. At the low end of the class we find senior engineering talent (like the author), family doctors, lousy lawyers, experienced actuaries, senior 747 pilots, and In-N-Out restaurant managers. At the high end of the class we find specialist doctors, competent lawyers, and many business owners. Nobody in this class is buying a Gulfstream private jet.

Yes I did change from 12 kids to 4 kids, because 12 would be a little bit nuts on a lower-middle income. I think that 12 actually can be done. It gets tight. Skip the child care, add the $10,872 in SNAP food benefits, and I think it works. This includes home ownership. With that lower-middle income, fancy colleges are free. The kids can go to Ivy League schools.
Most experts on expert programming forums are idiots. That includes this one, but I've at least worked on an application (Google Search) that I'm pretty sure you've used.

Most large websites (with hundreds of millions of users and dev teams in the thousands) don't run all their code in the webserver. They farm out requests to a bunch of backend services running on different boxes - databases, app servers, caches, etc. The central problem with this is that you don't know when a request is going to come back. You don't want to have your webserver simply wait around and do nothing while each request finishes; it'll spend 90% of its time doing nothing, which means you need 10x as much hardware to service the same number of users. But if you have lots of requests to backends in flight, you need some way to synchronize the responses and ensure that the webserver executes the right piece of code only when all of the data needed for it is present.

Different languages have different approaches to this. The way we used to do it in C++ is to hand-write a big state machine: each time a response comes back, dump it into memory, consult the current state, move to a new state that might be something like COOKIE_FETCH_COMPLETED or USER_FETCH_COMPLETED or RESULTS_LOADED, execute the code associated with that state (which may kick off even more backend requests), and then wait for the next response to come back, which then triggers the next edge in the state machine, and so on.

Async/await just gives language-level support for that. When you await a future, the language interprets it as "execute the next statement of this function only when the data in this future is present. And you can compose futures together, so you're awaiting "all of the data in this list of promises is present". It's a way to apply familiar programming-language concepts like variables and statements to code that's not all running on one box.

Do you need async/await? Not if your entire system runs on one box. If every time you make a blocking call, it's just going to a database that runs on the same physical machine as the webserver, you're not really losing anything because the same computer has to do the work anyway. I'd bet that a number of "experts" have only worked on systems like this: if they're talking about OSes and cache sizes and chip architecture, they're not even thinking in terms where concurrency and non-blocking I/O is useful. Oftentimes it's very reasonable to build an initial version like this, but the set of profitable niches that can be served by things like a "shopping cart application" is rapidly declining.

Unfortunately, the failure mode for a single-box server with blocking I/O is "your server locks up", and that tends to happen right when it gets most popular, and then you have to rewrite everything if you want to switch it to non-blocking async code. That's the other reason async/await is getting popular: this is one of those areas where scaling is a cliff, not a slope, and most people want to avoid cliffs in their business.
> Stop rewarding it and they'll stop.

Here's the thing...

I'd taken quite a lot of advertising courses during my education, and among the many truly scary things that I learned in them, one stood out above all others:

Knowing how advertising manipulates you, and even noticing it in the moment that it's happening, in no way makes it less effective. People who claim that they aren't affected by advertising are incorrect.

Nobody can just decide not to reward advertising, short of keeping a list of all the advertising you're exposed to (and are you sure you can spot it all?) and refusing to buy any product or service that appears on that list.
I think that the majority of people still don't understand what they're not getting in August. It's an async-await mvp.
From the response:

"..I've noticed that people often use the term “the Go community” without being particularly clear about what they mean. To me, the Go community is all Go users, which is at least a million people at this point. As such, it's at the very least imprecise to say things like “the Go community wants (or did) X.”

I think this is important because some outspoken members seems to have tendency to claim that they represent whole community and they must be heard and responded to even at the cost of quiet community members.
Yes, the US pushed many countries to tighten their security in the aftermath of 9/11. It's still unclear to me exactly where things are worse, and how much of this is rules vs. agency.

Not sure why the scare quotes. Having to open up your luggage for strangers and get patted down on the crotch seems pretty unambiguously an invasion of privacy (in the sense of "invasive surgery"), whether or not it's justified.
