What you describe as broken by design in terms of security is in fact its primary advantage from my perspective:

With the security nightmare that is modern web browsers I do not want any of them which runs on my machine to be able to access a single bit of more data than which is necessary.

Firejail helps a lot for this purpose, but fixing the browser to not be able to spy on other X applications requires sticking them into a Xpra sandbox, which greatly intereferes with performance and is a hell of an ugly hack (it's like running a local VNC server and connecting locally to it).

Putting software into different user accounts isn't a solution either because the usability of that is well, unusable.
I use Google Keep every day. These are my requirements from my note taking app:

- simple plain text note-taking;
- available on android, iOS and web;
- available offline and syncs (more or less) reliably;
- full text search.

I do not want more features on my note-taking app. I do not want it to go on steroid. Google Keep is not trash. It is perfect for the intended audience. You are just not part of that audience.
Although SMIC has a rather poor track record, China is continually funding it. Tsinghua Holdings is also funding another foundry as well I cant remember its name. And they have slapped quite a few TSMC / Samsung people to work for them.

What sort of form are these people maintaining? with proper form, and slow and controlled motion I would be very surprised if more than 1 in 1000-10,000 people could do hundred pushups in one set.

I went through the http://www.hundredpushups.com/ program when I was at peak fitness (on multiple sports teams) and it tooks everything out of me over 10 weeks to hit the hundred push up in one set milestone.
Associated read: "Titan" by Stephen Baxter. Hard SF describing a manned mission to Titan using present-day level tech; great attention to detail, but be warned that the overall tone is rather depressing.

Myself, I'm absolutely fascinated by the confirmed hydrocarbon lakes and rivers on Titan and can't wait to see actual optical images from up close (so far we only got synthetic-aperture radar images [0]).

"Why do I have to enter my password twice?"
Is the scenario outlined in the paper realistic and probable? In my opinion: unfortunately, yes.

Most people deny the conservative projections of the IPCC (they somehow acknowledge the facts, but don’t act accordingly which is equivalent to denial).

The problem is: some current observations indicate that even the horrific projections of the IPCC might be too optimistic. Recent observations of Canadian permafrost revealed that “thaw depths observed since 2003 met or exceeded the projected thaw depths for 2090 under RCP 4.5” (see Canadian permafrost thaw observed by American Geophysical Union).

I agree with you on that, however the article says "The CRC RevEng code can also manipulate a message to generate a desired CRC value."

That is what I am confused on. Why would you need a desired CRC value?
Sadly noone answered your question, but luckily I'm here a week later thanks to Kale's hacker newsletter.

No, I don't think the hedonistic treadmill is what pushes us forward, I think "necessity is the mother of invention." And it goes both ways in my opinion; to use your example, a person in prison will adapt and find it's not so bad, but then a lot of prisoners resourcefully create contraband to fulfill their needs, which "pushes them forward." Likewise a rich person may "need" a faster yacht, so they fund technology to invent one, thereby "pushing us forward."

I suspect many Latin teachers might be uncomfortable with their students getting into Latin that enthusiastically.

Many high school Latin teachers are actually not very proficient in Latin, they are merely capable of teaching from a syllabus that is usually quite modest. Except for some elite schools, Latin is taught just to give students a taste of the language and expand their vocabulary in their native language by recognizing Latin borrowings. The pupils aren’t intended to actually master the language and read non-set texts comfortably, let alone follow Neo-Latin materials or practice spoken Latin. If the students surpass the syllabus, that makes things difficult for the teachers. If a student has taken up the language so enthusiastically, the teacher may simply demand that he/she simply test out of the course instead of continuing to come to class.

At 18m30, he mentions that everyone uses SHM and DRI2, which don't work over the network. He mentions X isn't "network transparent" anymore, it's "network capable". I'm not 100% sure what the difference is tbh.

At 40m10, he mentions that rendering on the "server" then compressing it to transfer over the network to display locally is basically VNC.

Well. You can hear my voice. I'm the child of a sperm donor. I didn't learn about it till I was 18... which was more than a bit strange.

The emotions that come from the combination of society's familial expectations, your own complicated family, and just the general fact that it's nice to be alive is a really strange cocktail. But... I'm not sure resent is a word that I would ever use, even in my bizarre situation of having learned later in life. Instead of resentment I would probably describe a bubbling dystopian feeling. For me, I often focus on the fact that my life, or at least the genetic specifics of my being, is directly a result of technological progress. The very core of who I am everyday in my life relies on the fact that society enabled my mom to have children without her (ex)-husband. That's pretty strange.

These feelings come up most strongly when I look in a mirror. The physical features are the inescapable consequence, right? I think this is what made this photo essay so impactful for me. That photos so strongly highlight what is most stark about being the child of a sperm donor.

In the thesaurus, vex is listed alongside resent. That word seems to get at the core of what I feel. When I think too long or hard it just feels vexing... it's very "what the fuck"-ish.
Interestingly, I submitted this to HN: https://cleantechnica.com/2019/06/17/climeworks-starts-paid-... a day or two ago and it didn't make it out of the "new" bin. I signed up fora CO2 reduction subscription: https://www.climeworks.com/. Probably a very minor thing, but when I read about these kinds of massive global issues, I like to ask, "What can / should I be doing?"
I stopped using Evernote about 5 years ago when routine searches started timing out.

The ability to instantly recall past notes with Elephant-like memory will always be needed, so their core product principle is spot on.

But at $8/10GB per month, I can't help but wonder if Evernote is making some data storage vs retrieval performance trade-offs that impact adoption.
> This is not even taking into account the issue with illegal immigration and seeking asylum being a criminal issue, the fact that people within the US are being deported, not just those attempting to come in the southern border, and lastly, the reasons why people are fleeing these countries as well as the historical context and the US's role in that.

The difference is that the are people in the US calling out and protesting the horrors occurring and those protesters do not wind up with their organs harvested.

This is kind of a big deal and highlights the differences between the US and China.

One method is doing sets of 10 reps (or whatever number of pushups you can do in a row right now) and gradually reduce the time between sets. For instance, you start resting 60 seconds between sets. After a week, you rest 40 seconds between sets. And so on and so forth. After a few of months you should be able to do 40 pushups in a row.
What about foreign companies from countries like China or Russia? How will they make them comply?
It's definitely the point. Being the child of a sperm donor can be so uncomfortable. It seems like an extremely appropriate way to pose someone who is being confronted by such a deep part of themselves.

Oh, it's been true. It sounds like you've never worked in a wild-west type of environment. I have. I once worked at a company (2008-ish) where all the developers had a VPN direct into production. The production database had the same password as dev. "Accidents" would occasionally happen were a developer might spin up an app connecting direct to production, then start processing production batch processes.

And having a "locked room" doesn't mean anything when you have remote access.

> There are no technical means needed to bypass internet censorship in China.

Individuals bypassing technical restrictions is very different from having a commercial operation. Without the mandated censorship and monitoring, Starlink's entire business is completely illegal in China, so the entire thing (from setup to service to support) would have to be run underground, they'd have to accept payment in Bitcoin, no SpaceX executive could ever travel to China, and Tesla would probably have to get out too.

It's not gonna happen. There is no chance, none whatsoever, that Starlink ever does business in China unless it goes through the same filters as everyone else, even though from a purely technical perspective it theoretically could.

You could have the facility move constantly to keep the facility straddled across the sunlight line. At the equator, this would require constantly moving at about 7 mph, though you could reduce the speed necessary by moving to higher latitudes.
Well, as a programmer I like exceptions too as error handling becomes a breeze.

But as a user I hate them and the reason a simple: Because the developer doesn't have to handle every case, many developers just don't know what types of errors/exceptions can happen at runtime and unless they catch all Exceptions at the top-level, their programs will crash every once in a while.

Yes, it is a bit unfair to judge a feature like exceptions by the resulting code quality, as you certainly can use them responsibly, but my personal impression is that exceptions mislead developers to writes code of lower quality (myself included). That is why I like the Go approach to (some extent).

Turkish democracy is barely 100 years old. If we are looking at a timeline of ~200 years, even the US won't come across as particularly stable, what with the Civil War and multiple Presidential assassinations since 1819.
The vowels of English are pronounced as narrow diphthongs. This really sets English apart from the pronunciation of modern European languages, and also from Latin as reconstructed. Finns certainly have a distinct accent in many foreign languages, but they do less violence to Latin than people from the USA or UK.
I love Google's Keep for this. It's very simple. Text notes or checklists, organized into major categories (labels).

Works seamlessly on my MBP and Android phone.

When did I every say or imply that I was writing my own shell? There are already ample real programming languages to use that can fork off and manage sub-processes just fine, thank you, instead of writing ridiculously inefficient complex hard to maintain un-modular shell scripts.

Why would I waste my time trying to fix something that's fundamentally flawed, and that nobody would use because it wasn't "standard"?

We already have Python, JavaScript, Perl, etc. Even PHP is overwhelmingly better and more modular than bash! Why try to put lipstick on a pig like bash?

My point (which I already stated) is that the "Unix Philosophy" in intellectually bankrupt, not that the shell should be extended with string manipulation and floating point to make it unnecessary to fork "sed", "awk" and "bc".
I had similar problem with 1Password. They wanted to move their model to subscriptions, so I decided to take another look at password managers and migrated to KeePass which turned out to be even better alternative (requires some manual setup, but I don't mind).
A week is rarely enough time to expect a real mindset or perspective change, especially if you're not setting out with intent to do so. I'm not saying you shouldn't quit, but if you wanted to give yourself a chance to avoid burnout, perhaps discuss the possibility of a longer sabbatical with your employer. As someone who's spent some time on full-time side-projects, full-time employment, and in-between, the grass isn't always greener.
Bingo, right there. Once you have taken X bajillion dollars from a VC, you have to find some way of pretending that you can become worth that valuation (plus some profit for the VC's). Thus, a perfectly valid small-to-medium company becomes a moneypit big company.
We're getting to the point where mapping is becoming a simple apt-get install away, and that's a great thing.

Projects like this are important not so much because of the service they provide, but for the software that's being open sourced.

For example I was able to set up a mapping server by compiling (only to get the latest versions) mapnik and osm2pgsql, downloading data from OSM, and voilà... Next step is way finding, and there are a few options available.

Now I have another one to look into ;-)

I love the Cool Biz campaign in Japan.
in ZEN2:

"The key highlight improvement for floating point performance is full AVX2 support. AMD has increased the execution unit width from 128-bit to 256-bit, allowing for single-cycle AVX2 calculations, rather than cracking the calculation into two instructions and two cycles. This is enhanced by giving 256-bit loads and stores, so the FMA units can be continuously fed. AMD states that due to its energy aware scheduling, there is no predefined frequency drop when using AVX2 instructions (however frequency may be reduced dependent on temperature and voltage requirements, but that’s automatic regardless of instructions used)"

"In the floating point unit, the queues accept up to four micro-ops per cycle from the dispatch unit which feed into a 160-entry physical register file. This moves into four execution units, which can be fed with 256b data in the load and store mechanism.

Other tweaks have been made to the FMA units than beyond doubling the size – AMD states that they have increased raw performance in memory allocations, for repetitive physics calculations, and certain audio processing techniques.

Another key update is decreasing the FP multiplication latency from 4 cycles to 3 cycles. That is quite a significant improvement. AMD has stated that it is keeping a lot of the detail under wraps, as it wants to present it at Hot Chips is August. We’ll be running a full instruction analysis for our reviews on July 7th."

The EAV model is great in theory and is probably great in practice _if_ the backing software has been _designed_ with EAV in mind.

In the context of Magento, it is a real _nightmare_ and is one of the major contributor of the slowness of the Magento platform (at least for magento < 2.0).

The reason for this slowness is that in a relational database, the EAV model makes it so that e-v-e-r-y s-i-n-g-l-e SQL query is one gigantic query made of tons of JOINs.

To give you an example, querying a product in Magento may need to join no less than 11 tables!

catalog_product_entity, catalog_product_entity_datetime, catalog_product_entity_decimal, catalog_product_entity_int, catalog_product_entity_gallery, catalog_product_entity_group_price, catalog_product_entity_media_gallery, catalog_product_entity_text, etc, etc.

In order to fix this issue, the Magento team created what they call "flat tables" which are tables that are created by querying the database with an EAV query (i.e. the query with a million joins) and putting the results in a table with as many columns as there is attributes being returned by the original query.

In theory choosing to use EAV was an amazing idea. In practice, this idea did not scale for large Magento stores and it has made Magento hugely complex, slow and hard to use.

We use Magento at betabrand.com and I can confidently say 90% of the slowness of our website is due to Magento's EAV tables and we have spent a humongous number of engineering hours optimizing this.
