Pompeo believes in dispensational premillennialism. Which is to say that he thinks the world will end in literal Armageddon when the Antichrist comes to earth and the forces of Heaven and Hell do battle on the plains of Megiddo in Israel. Of course, Pompeo will have been swept up in the Rapture, so he'll be a-ok.

And yes, it sounds utterly insane to me too.

My hope is that ordinary citizens across the globe will become more connected via the internet, and as a result, will develop a strong distaste for war in general.
One tools is to use a metronome to find the stress passages in a piece. Without a metronome, we hide the stressful passages by slowing down subconsciously.

It's striking how one's self-perception can be faulty this way. I've had this sort of thing pointed out to me by a bandmate, years ago, using a tape recorder and a metronome. It's like I was in a Sci-fi time-distortion, not because the tempo change was that large, but because it was so invisible to me without the recording and metronome!

No individual freedom of information request can be frivolous? I can't understand how someone can think it can never be a waste of finite time and resources to respond to a request.
How could 8chan not be on their radar after Christchurch?
It's worth noting that this board on 8chan makes it an open policy to permanently ban people who post dissenting opinions with the reason that they are "shills" and coordinating a misinformation/propaganda attack.
Lost a lot of respect for the Linux devs due to this story - this is just stupid fuckery due to hurt egos or whatever. Droping that API in 5.0+ fine - but backporting the removal of the non-GPL API in -stable kernels?
Where is the ideal place to live right now if you also want to work in the office of a tech company?

I found commuting into SF to be a pain and heard that commuting from the east bay to SF or from SF to the south bay is also very tough. For awhile, I lived in Mill Valley (north of the GGB) and commuted in on the Ferry. I loved that experience on the days that it worked. But I also felt like I was way too tied to the ferry schedules.

If I could work from home (like I do now), I'd love to live in Sonoma again (fires aside). It's beautiful and a great place to ride your bike.
There are competing file systems on Linux which are more aligned with Linux goals and much better integrated with kernel. If ZFS won't work very well on Linux, it gives more chances for those alternative file systems (btrfs, bcachefs), so hopefully one day they'll be proper replacements and ZFS won't be needed at all. This is political thing indeed.

Anyway you can always patch the kernel. It won't be as easy to install, but e.g. Ubuntu should be able to do so.
iOS randomizes the MAC address when scanning for networks but provides its true name when it joins one.
It's true that many devs aren't trained to write maintainable code, but there needs to be some responsibility on the part of the individual dev too. If there's no training, they need to be made aware of resources like Code Complete and Clean Code, so they can take some initiative and work through those books.
As a (jazz) piano student myself, I am happy to see "To Master a Skill, Master Something Harder."

Pianist and YouTuber Nahre Sol has a great set of exercises based on modifying passages of Chopin etudes, which serve as excellent material to study both as a template and in their own right. [1][2] She varies harmony and rhythm, and takes the exercise through all 12-keys. Much harder than just learning the passage in the original key, but that's the whole point.

Which is a good reason not to sell them to Apple. Apple and patents is a bad combination.
Indeed, "human readable" really means "in something similar to English" much of the time, and is a vague and quite subjective term; would someone who knows only English think Chinese is not "human readable"?

Personally, I consider binary formats to be just as readable (from the hexdump, or sometimes even the ASCII directly) and in some ways even easier to parse without ambiguity --- it just requires a bit (pun intended) of learning, like any language. I've worked with someone who could "read" TCP/IP; and I can read much of Z80 and some x86 Asm as well as a few other binary formats.
Or what about joining the room given on the research paper and actually participating in the discussion? We would love to have some proper interaction where we can exchange network output and screen recordings that simply show first hand what we are talking about...

Replying to a blog to a living research document intended to be used by another project/protocol feels silly. Whatever you write certainly is not all up to date anymore with the corrections we made thanks to the Matrix community that joined the room, and the Grid community that kept on discussion the doc.

Where is Matrix.org tho? This could also be a good occasion for the three new guardians to join the community.

> In a socialized or communist nation, you would expect all national infrastructure, if not all means of production, to be nationalized, i.e., owned & run by the govt.

While the gist of your point is correct, I feel I should mention that socialism or communism doesn't necessitate that the means of production is nationalized and government owned. The means of production could just as well be owned by the workers, not the government.
National infrastructure doesn’t necessarily mean government owned. The air traffic control system is also 51% private in Europe, but that’s still (inter)national infrastructure.
LKY claims to be above all practical. Capitalism, socialism, whatever it takes to achieve an objective. And from the point of view of results, it’s hard to argue Sg hasn’t done amazing things.
Interesting...thanks!
It would have been a good idea to contact the developers before posting a link to their project, to involve them in the discussion, and allow them to clear up any misunderstandings about their work.
It's fascinating how the same type of cell is used throughout the body to make different body parts. It's like nature came up with an abstract <Cell /> component that it reuses to compose a body.
I'm talking about integer numbers. 2^53 = 9007199254740992. You can do any arithmetic operations with any integer number from -9007199254740992 to 9007199254740992 and results will be correct. E.g. 9007199254740991 + 1 = 9007199254740992. But outside of that range there will be errors, e.g. 9007199254740992 + 1 = 9007199254740992

Note that subtle != mild.

If going against society results in you losing your job (because your employer doesn't want to deal with bad publicity), losing your home (because you can't make rent/mortgage payments), losing your friends (because anyone who hangs out with a [racist/rapist/fetus-murderer/scammer/person who refuses to sign things they can't read/etc] suffers guilt by association), and possibly starving to death in the street (if you can't convince anyone to charity you some food), then that society is totalitarian, no matter how subtle they are about it.

Current western society isn't nearly that bad[citation needed], but that's neither because it's impossible nor for lack of anyone trying.

I suppose a bomb is a threat whether the plane flies or not, while a drone is only a threat if the airport decides to fly planes despite knowing there are drones in the area.
I wonder how easy it would be to convert, or design something similar to the Enviro+ that is in a waterproof enclosure with battery. Could be useful for collecting data on some basic water quality(turbidity,conductivity,pH,temp) alongside water level.

We currently use In-situ Aqua Trolls[1] to gather these parameters, but a solution like this could almost be considered disposable; hand them out to people in remote areas and you could potentially realise data for rivers/creeks that rarely flow, and would otherwise go unmonitored due to the time and finial investment required.

Very interesting project, thanks for sharing!

The economics of Vancouver real estate is more complicated than that. Don't let the press fool you. And reporters aren't all doing independent research they are often using the same source or using each other. For instance, Global news is using research from a Postmedia reporter. And all Postmedia newspapers are reprinting or relying on that one reporter's research. Also, when you look at the German report on money-laundering effects on RE there is a lot of guessing but the press reports it as fact. Sigh.
I don't know about 8chan but when it comes to 4chan, there's a certain sport in what people comment in threads. There's countless threads of people claiming to be planning something awful (terrorism, suicide, robbery, eating Taco Bell, etc.) And in the comments you'll see people say all kinds of things, that if taken at face value, are pretty horrible (and maybe even criminal conspiracy.)

But the crux is that these people are not serious (though I'm sure some are), they're just saying it for the sport of calling the bluff of anonymous people they perceive as trolls or brooding teens.

It's like the scene in Futurama where Hermes is threatening to jump off a building to his death and Bender says, "Do a flip!"

This doesn't make it right. And doesn't absolve them of the legal hot water they'd find themselves in. But I hope these individuals, if charged with a crime, get lawyers who will vigorously defend this point.

Edit: I want to re-state that I emphatically do not hold any opinions on this topic. I'm just trying to share a bit about what these image boards can be like.
This is what I was thinking: if I just want to sit down and design myself an object system, Haskell’s type system gets in the way of the necessary parts. (Unless you want to limit the interaction between your object system and haskell’s types in annoying ways). I’ve implemented CLOS-style mutimethods as a handful of functions basically translated from the Common Lisp in the art of the meta-object protocol. And the multimethods work transparently with any ja type.

This isn’t a criticism of Haskell: there are plenty of benefits to forcing declarative IO and limiting the language (roughly) to features that don’t break type-inference, but those advantages of Haskell make it much less enjoyable to experiment with programming paradigms in.
This is a rosy way to look at things after-the-fact, but, as far as I understand, the way Google monetized their search (by showing only relevant ads) was still a fairly new business practice at the time. And Adsense wasn't well tested either. Both were bets that ended up transforming the entire online Ad industry...

That’s ridiculous. It’s disrupting air travel, no different than cutting the power to air traffic control. Protesters do not have a right to infringe on the rights of others to make their case. They can hold up signs outside the airport, but they have no right to put aircraft at risk. That is extremism.
It would be great if people stopped using Matlab for new open source projects (in favor of e.g. Julia or Python/numpy). But nobody is expecting the majority of numerical code to be rewritten for the web anytime soon.

Still, if anyone wants to make their research results as accessible as possible, then publishing an Observable notebook is great, because it’s (a) just a hyperlink so trivial to access from any device without security concerns, need to purchase or even install and run specialized runtimes, etc., (b) very friendly for readers to inspect/modify/reuse, (c) supports rich interaction better than most alternative platforms.

I’m hoping that wasm someday soon becomes a reasonable target for optimized numerical programs written in Fortran, C, Rust, Julia, Halide, ...
History is overflowing with examples of people, groups, and nation states preaching, and practicing that crap.

As a kid, I heard similar stuff from my classmates and their parents and grandparents, and I was in the suburban Midwest, not a place strongly associated with anti-semitism at the time.

Today's purveyors have just been offered more powerful media to amplify and propagate it.
This is called the memory palace technique. Works well for very visual thinkers. Doesn't work at all well for me.
No, usually with sagas, your action creator stays synchronous and you yield your actions from a generator function that contains all the asynchronous bits.

It’s a beautiful system that brings a lot of the benefits of a Free-monad style effect system.
There are many good reasons for that IMO:

* Too long lines are hard to read. For text 11 words per line are recommended, otherwise your eyes will loose track. 11 Words is roughly 60 characters, but code is indented so you need a bit more.

* Some people look at your code in an 80-column terminal, if you use more, this would be rude.

* Some people use a GUI diff tool that displays the code side by side, so that's already 160 characters.
You'd never be able to run this on iOS. It's far too locked down.

You might be able to add QEMU support to this, and then run it on an Android device if you have root. But it would perform terribly because mobile chips generally don't have virtualization extensions and ARM as a virtualization host is a pretty immature platform.

TL;DR - far too much to be practical.
Is there a tech company who is good with them?
Aww, baby took his first steps outside of his safe space echo chamber.
I've been out here around 12 years, and I agree with the criticisms. However, I would add that it's an amazing place if you're in the right neighborhood and can take advantage of the outdoors. As mentioned elsewhere, Mt. Tam is a short drive away, Marin headlands is even closer. Tahoe, Yosemite are between 3.5 and 5 hours away (usually, though traffic can cause issues).

I bike a lot and it's an amazing place for that. It's 40 min round trip from my door to the top of twin peaks and panoramic views of the city+bridges, 40 min round trip for a fun single track mountain biking outing up Mt. Sutro. Not to mention the great routes on the peninsula and up north (Mt. Tam is a beautiful 50-60 mile round trip).

In terms of cleanliness, I live in the Nopa/Alamo square area and I don't think it's particularly dirty. Petty theft from cars is an issue though.

Regarding some of the other criticisms, I'm not sure whether things are very different in other major metro areas in the US. In NYC you'd have the same criticisms about the finance industry. In DC you'd also have the same issues with the law/government industry. In LA it's about where you sit in the entertainment industry. If you work in an area's "industry" I think it's probably the same.

I've thought of leaving, but if I did I probably would aim for a smaller city with less of an "industry town" disposition.
It has to be both imminent and likely - if you saw somebody posting something like that, would you think they were actually going to do it? Nah, it'd blend in with all the other larping and shitposts.

I really like it, but I was born here. I biked to work every day before until I moved to a closer office. I enjoy the people and the culture. It's not just tech, but most of the non-local culture is that.
The browser engine gets HTML, parses it, and turns it into an array of pixels. Hopefully without crashing and without any security vulnerabilities. The rest of the browser is the UI built around this engine - it reads your URL bar, tells the engine to render the page, and handles things like navigation and bookmarks and saved passwords etc.

Browser engines also execute the JavaScript, though I'm pretty sure Servo just does the HTML/CSS rendering. Webpages these days are very heavy which is why parallelism is important (for both the layout engine as well as the JS engine).
The Ideology of Censorship
It’s not far-fetched it’s just a regular day out here.

Previously it was the other way around — to be in office yourself and book profits for your son in law (Kuchma—Pinchuk) or other related person. Conflict of interest? Never heard about that.

This was commercialized and outsourced at some point, but only at MP level, so you could enjoy Presidential impunity yourself.

Zelensky happened as a controlled exit strategy because all other contenders had highly toxic reputations to assume office for themselves after being in some office or another for nearly 30 years, so it was a chance that somebody really from the outside would get ir
> stupidly complex abstractions

Not sure what you mean.. could you give some examples?

In my experience, people prefer Docker over VM's because they _like_ the abstractions and tooling associated with it. It's a lot friendlier to developers and makes immutable infrastructure a much more realistic goal for ops folks, IMO.
Well, mass-shootings wouldn't happen if there weren't people who believed it. It turns out that anonymous 'edgy' internet forums are an ideal breeding ground for that sort of ideology.

The absurdly offensive dialog that goes on there is often just an act people put on to fit in with the crowd in a consequence-free environment--most of them are probably just harmless lonely teenagers with nothing better to do. But it would be hard to tell at a glance which posts are serious and which aren't.
Here's a common problem that shows up in implementations of games:

class Time {
uint32 m_CycleCount;
float m_CyclesPerSec;
float m_Time;

public:
Time() {
m_CyclesPerSec = CPU_GetCyclesPerSec();
m_CycleCount = CPU_GetCurCycleCount();
m_Time = 0.0f;
}

float GetTime() { return m_Time; }

void Update() {
// note that this is expected to wrap
// during the lifetime of the game --
// modular math works correctly in that case
// as long as Update() is called at least once
// every 2^32-1 cycles.
uint32 curCycleCount = CPU_GetCurCycleCount();
float dt = (m_CycleCount - curCycleCount) / m_CyclesPerSec;
m_CycleCount = curCycleCount;
m_Time += dt;
}
};

void GAME_MainLoop() {
Timer t;
while( !GAME_HasQuit() ) {
t.Update();
GAME_step( t.GetTime() );
}
}

The problem is that m_Time will become large relative to dt, the longer the game is running. Worse, as your CPU/GPU gets faster and the game's framerate rises, dt becomes smaller. So something that looks completely fine during development (where m_Time stays small and dt is large due to debug builds) turns into a literal time bomb as users play and upgrade their hardware.

At 300fps, time will literally stop advancing after the game has been running for around 8 hours, and in-game things that depend on framerate can become noticably jittery well before then.
The standard in the US is much more limited than your wording seems to imply. From the page you linked, the two key requirements are:

> (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action

> (2) is likely to incite or produce such action

That second one is an incredibly high bar. Also see a previous thread where this topic came up following the New Zealand incident (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19924352).
Air-traffic control is a mess
I've got 1GB per month. I don't want apps downloading shit for me.
JVM is gaining self-contained deployable package support, and as of recently, Kotlin supports a mode with LLVM-based native code generation.

IMO, the fundamental advantages of Go over competing languages in the long run are its fast compile time and its combination of native code+garbage collection.
If you need to remember printed material (for an exam etc.), I highly recommend this product [0].

It's basically a blue highlighter and a red transparent plastic sheet. You first highlight the stuff you want to test yourself on, and when you are ready you can cover the material with the red sheet. Now the highlighted words just became redacted like in a released CIA doc.

There is a review on Youtube that let you see how it actually looks [1].

For me this all copyright / license topic is non sense, that's why I don't even bother adding a license to my projects, some years ago I used to add MIT licenses when requested, however these days I just ignore those requests, they can use it or not, but I'm not doing any effort to fulfill these copyright / license claims.
What also irks me is this Postmedia reporter also wrote about a middle-eastern money-laundering ring operating in Canada (for Hezbollah) but there was hardly any (if any) coverage of it on Global News (tv). Usually there is this cross-publishing between Global News and Postmedia. It just wasn't sexy enough for television. Probably because it didn't fit the narrative of Chinese Gangs ruining Vancouver RE through money-laundering.
I read it and thought it a remarkable book. I lent it to a mate who thought the same. Said mate lent it to his dad who had fought in the 2nd WW. His dad apparently said it was the best book on the war he'd ever read. If true, that's really saying something.
The FBI doesn't have to ask anyone to do it for them. As the supreme court approved of Rule 41 they now have the authority to get rubber stamped generic search warrants and then hack anyone, anywhere, who is participating on the internet but whom they don't know the name and location of. Being anonymous now makes it legal for the FBI to hack you.
