> "Perl 6 is defined as a set of test cases." ... "Perl 6 is done"

Quoting Larry Wall from 2000:

> [we should] develop the real regression tests into a validation test of what the language actually means and actually go out and explore all the nooks and crannies ... and then we actually have a machine-readable spec. And to me that’s actually a lot more important than what the verbiage on the human readable thing says.

The first implementation of this concept was released in 2016 as version 6.c. Then 6.d in 2018.

P6 will never be "done" but 6.c and a compiler for it was/is done, similarly 6.d, while 6.e is at an early work-in-progress stage.
There may be some confusion about "delivery mechanism" here. In this context the only relevant definition would be referring to chemical components in updated formulas for the injectable solution. Delivery _devices_ would have no relevance to the patent of the injectable solution.
In fact the article was published on June 20, while the XLNet submission that dethroned them was already on June 19. I guess their publishing pipeline doesn't allow last-minute amendments.

If I was told to put a backdoor in my product and make it plausibly deniable, it probably would look like a vulnerability in a very obscure, rarely used and non-documented function.

Yes, there's no real way to know. But then again, is "our products are full of security vulnerabilities" that better than "our products are full of backdoors"? I think being hacked by a random criminal from Moldova is not much better than being watched by a Chinese Army officer from Beijing. You probably want to avoid both.

Not better objectively, Samsung is still the top of the line of android HW, but theres so many good phones that do all of the basics well, such as the Oneplus 7 Pro, Pixel 3A, Asus Zenphone and really quite a few even Huawei have excellent hardware and mostly caught up to the high bar set by samsung.

Samsung's only differentiation right now is their proprietary software, Samsung Pay, DeX, Linux on DeX and other toys they make for corporate clients and certain markets like USA

I read this post twice and I'm still not sure I understand what the Stripe nightmare is. It sounds like you and your accountant feel you'd have been better off with an LLC. That's very likely! We're a growing company with employees, payroll, equity ownership, vesting, and significant revenue and we're still an LLC and will be for the foreseeable future. But if we decided to go raise funding, Stripe Atlas seems like the most reasonable way we could go about switching to a C-Corp.
No, the logic is not "it doesn't look like a backdoor" but "backdoors and vulnerabilities look very much alike". And given the story of vulnerability being shuffled from place to place instead of removed, the probability of it being deliberate raises. Surely, it can be just gross incompetence, but you don't want grossly incompetent vendor any more than you want a spying one.

But who stocks it? Amazon and Newegg don't (i.e. you can't look the products up at all as of right now, even just to see that it's out of stock), which implies that they're filling the channel only with exclusive retailers or OEMs. Or, less charitably, that this is a paper launch with product to demo but not to actually sell...
Yeah and for newer software which has rolled out to all bixby equipped phones by now it lets you use it as a trigger.

The fact is they shouldnt have to.

Nothing about go the language is objectively good. The language design is spartan and procedural. The type system is a train wreck. The headline "goroutines" usually have to give way to the arcane arts of locks and mutexes. Google has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the language and compiler. The ecosystem is objectively good, but the language is not.

For a point of comparison, let's look at StandardML as a language that I believe is objectively good, but with an ecosystem that is objectively not good. The type system is amazing. The syntax is as simple as go (designed to be easy for students to implement), but more powerful. Unlike "goroutines", CML (concurrent extensions to SML) are sound and actually work. Most of the headliner features debated in go 2 are already present (with ones like parametric polymorphism having extremely elegant solutions baked in). The compilers (eg, polyML or mlton) even spit out extremely fast code.

Without a Google-level backer, SML just sits there kept alive by a small group of academics who work on the parts that interest them and their research. If even a fraction of Google's resources dedicated to Go were put into the SML ecosystem, golang would have never come to be.

My point is that why a language succeeds or fails is seldom related to the actual merits of the language itself. Almost every one of the most popular languages has one or more corporate backers with deep pockets who made it what it was then maintained it going forward. Consider that Rust at its core is a complex, C-like syntax on top of SML, but had a company willing to pour millions into developing the language.

Lisp lost what backers it had due to the AI winter killing them off. Nobody else stepped up, so the language languishes.
We don't know that. Their system could've been compromised in some other way and the password captured.
This is deliberate on Google's end. In fact they keep bluring the line between ads and search results with updates more and more.
The problem is that the generics are equivalent to insulin from the 70's, when complications of type-1 diabetes were considered almost unavoidable. You can be super diligent and figure out how to manage your diet to make it work with the cheaper stuff, but that takes years of practice and conditioning. If you have to switch from something like humalog and an insulin pump, to injections of Regular insulin a two times a day or so, you are gonna be screwed.

It really doesn't matter to me if Nvidia drops out of the linux desktop market or not. I've never owned their hardware and never will, so it makes not an iota of difference to me.

I'm just observing that Redhat is the trendsetter and if they say X is legacy, that makes it so. Unless Nvidia or Nvidia customers decide to pick up where Redhat is leaving off and pay for developers to work on X, but I sincerely doubt that's going to happen.

Unless Nvidia decides to support the new system, they can't plausibly claim to support the linux desktop. I just hope whatever happens will result in less online whining from linux-using Nvidia customers.

Bixby unfortunately is setup such that to disable it the official way you need to sign in, but you can disable it the old way whenever you like and theres no need to create an account.
In general learning foreign languages is useful for getting better in programming. It is possible that as a programmer you would get naturally attracted to such hobby.
That's solved in similar frameworks by separating open and read/write. You open (or inherit from somewhere) a logging socket, drop the open privileges, retain the permission to write to the log socket.
The Amazon Go stores are controlled access, you need to swipe your app to get past the gate.

There is also (at least at the original one) plenty of staff, just they are helping people through the gates and restocking shelves.

You could still shoplift with a fake Amazon account, but this would be way above the effort level most shoplifters go to, especially to steal a sandwich.
As far as I know, there isn't a problem here.

That is not the law. You have been misled, perhaps as the article's author intended. The author's feelings on whether such searches should be legal are not the same as democratically-enacted laws on the matter.

It's about functionality and maintainability, not performance. If you have complicated scripts then they start to resemble actual programs, at which point you might be better off using a real programming language to code.

I wouldn't pick Rust for this but there are lots of examples of using Node/JS, or C# or Python. It's a much nicer environment and benefits from full IDE support.

For a good example, look at what Pulumi is doing for modern infrastructure: https://www.pulumi.com/
Heh except if you actually read the comments I present Linux as the high water mark twice for security and stability.

A long time ago I made a gem that does pretty much this: https://github.com/senorprogrammer/pil

If you want this functionality, I recommend not using it as-is, given the security vuln GitHub is currently reporting. Rather, anyone has my permission to copy the code verbatim into your project. It's a pretty simple gem.
This is a US only limitation. The rest of the world has long since moved to Paypass. The terminals are the same (no Square needed) however the US refuses to support it, i guess because of tipping.
> So which is it, the solution or a danger?

Obviously, if my ingroup folks are doing it, it's the solution - we are just appealing to the wisdom of crowds and attracting common people to our cause. However, if outgroup folks do it, they are exploiting the ignorance of the masses and appealing to the basest instincts of the mob, and thus it is a grave danger.
Suprised me too and I didn't give it a shot until I really dove into using DeX as my primary computer and found chrome's lack of extensions absurd. Samsung internet is just a few versions behind stable chrome and has all the creature comforts safari seems to have which makes for a pleasant experience.

Also people forget Samsung runs a huge ecosystem of products that work together. They have a VR partnership with oculus and maintain a VR branch of chrome for their own apps and stuff, and also support running arbitrary android apps in VR in multi window mode. They seem to really care about pushing how much you can do without downloading a single app outside of their software ecosystem.
You forgot to (require 'explode-mode).
I see no realistic weight behind the notion that P5 will be deprecated in the foreseeable future (decades).
SQLite never implemented transactions that way, neither in undo nor WAL mode.

Someone might have misunderstood how undo logging / rollback journals work. Only pages to be changed are recorded in the rollback journal, not the entire database.
I think your example is different to this scenario as your friend will have submitted many pics to VK so they have decent training set for her face.

Whereas the DMV only has 1 picture of a suspect so it will result in more false positives.
But what made the people who chose it for ML and scientific computing choose it? What made it better for that? There has to be a reason to choose it in the first place, and before Numpy it wasn't awesome at ML and scientific computing that I know of.

One thing that a great majority of commenters here seem to be missing is that Wayland's issues that make it unsuitable to replace X Windows will not just be ironed out in a couple of years (at least not in a way that would be an improvement over X), because it is flawed by design.

The thing is, Wayland developers do not want you to take screenshots or automate input events (injection and interception). Those are both "power-user" and "accessibility" features. So respectively those who like to use the Unix (or other OS) programming environment to its full potential (hackers?), and the blind/visually impaired will have a hard time if Wayland gets forced on them.

It is possible to solve those problems with effort on a per-compositor basis (meaning less choice for users and more redundant programming effort - programs that interact with GUIs will need to have separate code for each compositor!), or with protocol extensions - that, of course, would not be universally accepted. For example, I think no compositor currently give a Wayland user the option to mess with input events (key presses, etc.). This means no hot-keys!

Quoting Red Hat: "Furthermore, there isn’t a standard API for getting screen shots from Wayland. It’s dependent on what compositor (window manager/shell) the user is running, and if they implemented a proprietary API to do so."

An interesting Reddit discussion: "It has been almost a decade, why does Wayland not have a protocol definition for screenshots?" - answer - "Because security, dude! Wayland is designed with the thought that users download random applications from the interwebz which are not trustworthy and run them. Wayland actually makes a lot of sense if you don't think of Linux desktop distributions and desktop systems, but of smartphones. But for some reason we absolutely need this technology on the desktop, like we had not enough pain and lose ends over here without it." [7]

See [1] [2]. And my previous comments on the same topic: [3] [4].

Another thing wrong with Wayland is that forced compositing means noticeably (in interactive applications) more latency.

Small nitpick regarding the blog post: Chromium depends on GTK3.

> There's lots of enjoyment to be had in learning things that aren't immediately (or even remotely) useful, and there's often a lot of unanticipated utility in learning things that are pursued for pure enjoyment.

I'm not sure what you're arguing against. Enjoyment is utility. But if I would enjoy learning two different things equally, I should pick the one that would also satisfy me in other ways, or the one that would deliver that enjoyment more efficiently, so I can also have time to do something else that I also enjoy.

There's a cost to spending time, that's why people call it spending time.

> they have very little interest in helping working class Americans.

What you mean by "helping working class Americans"? I am definitely working (every day, many hours), does my interest count? If I would like for America to become more libertarian (or more socialist), can it be said Koch (or Soros) are helping my interests? Or only a direct ACH transfer counts? Or something in between - what? Every politician I've see has declared they'd be "helping working class Americans" - and they all have diametrically opposed ideas of what that means. One can almost conclude it doesn't mean anything but a meaningless platitude politician has to do along with shaking hands and kissing babies.
I don’t have to. That’s the point: there are only 1024 possible positions on any 10 binary issues. Therefore, in a group of 1025 individuals, two must hold the same position.
I didn’t read the story carefully because of the paywall, but it depends on what the searches are doing and what the sources are.

Several states have had success in identifying people with multiple drivers licenses using facial recognition systems on their photosets. Of course they are using DMV photos that are taken in a consistent way.

FBI or ICE could very well have a feed of identification photos from foreign countries that are close enough to get good success.
I personally replaced my wallet with Samsung Pay but many people find it hard to use/explain to cashiers that don't understand it works everywhere. In countries outside of USA the bank support is also pretty bad/contactless payments are more widely supported.

Is your view of its practicality based on using it heavily or have you mostly or completely left it alone because it's too slow or seems too eclectic or some other reason?
