As you mention, rav1e would help, but HEVC/HEIF is only acceptable in speed due to hardware support.

AV1 is slowly making its way into silicon, though. I'm personally interested in seeing this make its way into cameras - even when I shoot in RAW, I often just use the off-camera JPG. I'd love for that to be AVIF instead.

Author here. We've been using listmonk in production at our company (regulated financial business) to deliver e-mail updates including regulatory ones for over 6 months. We host our own SMTP instances using Postal[1] on EC2 instances and have never had any issues with deliverability. If it's legitimate e-mail, I don't think it's much of an issue.

PS: Postal SMTP is awesome.

Of course, and even in more force and enthusiasm! Bullying does never work in the long term. And extreme bullying like the one Aaron suffered requires an extreme response.
The huawei user account hardcoded in the firmware that has sudoers permissions for insmod/modprobe is really blatant. I would have guessed the Chinese would at least attempt to hide their way in?

So they sell enterprise infrastructure equipment with such an obvious backdoor? It seems the US boycott of Huawei was fully justified after all, I didn't really believe them.
I blame it on Methodius. He tried to get the Catholics to use the Glagolitic but in the end it didn't take and the vacuum got filled with Latin.

Why would it? That's not part of the license.

Besides, that an email is produced by an AGPL software does not make it covered by the AGPL. That should be exactly the same legal situation as with open source text editors.

Deliverability is a non-issue if you hook tools like this and Sendy up to Amazon SES with DKIM and verified MAIL FROM settings. I've been doing it for years and never once had a deliverability issue.

Touching people is a pretty personal thing

Yep, the increased sense of intimacy that can make somebody feel more obligated to you can also make somebody feel uncomfortable and pressured. It's a technique that can definitely backfire. Using it with strangers won't necessarily give you the result you thought it would. However, I suspect in a "call 911" type of situation the other person is already uncomfortable and it's worth psychologically pulling them closer in order to focus their attention.
In the suburbs I have many neighbors in similar life situations to me. With minimal effort I can make friends with people a block away with kids the same ages as mine. Just go to a park and start a conversation

I’m finding modern life requires tribal flexibility
It might depend on the culture, but for a lot of people socializing is considered relaxing, and the more people you have around the higher the chances for any of them to have that belief.

Aside from going out and physically isolating yourself, having family around usually doesn’t help.

Now family could help looking after the kids when you take time away, but once your kids can stay aline for a few hours, having more people taking care of them might not help that much (now you’re managing a fleet of care givers, creating a “too many cooks” situation)
I am an introvert but the isolation I experience is soul crushing. Half of it is location and culture, rural nowhere and no public transport. Half of it is poor health. I am not here by choice and it's sapping my will each day. Living in a city and having people all around easily accessible you wasn't mentally exhausting for me as one would think, it was lovely and energizing. I'd love to be able to move back. But one can still be alone in a crowd.

I recall an experience I had in a large city, a dense capital and no lack of people around. I knocked on an apartment door to meet up with someone but had gotten the number wrong. A lovely old woman answered the door in her nightgown. I apologised for my mistake and asked if she knew where the person I was looking for lived. She did not, but she invited me in for tea. I accepted and even thought she didn't speak English and my command of her language was poor, we had a human interaction that both of us needed. She was so incredibly alone there. You could tell by how she lived in this little 25 square meter flat and how things came pouring out of her to me, this stranger. We had our tea, I had my tour and saw the photos, and politely excused myself as I had "things to do". My life hadn't fully collapsed yet, and while I have always been empathetic and didn't rush out, I can't help but often think that I should have stayed longer, done more for her, gone back. I always intended to go back when I had more time, but shortly after my own life accelerated downhill and I never found the chance. It was many years ago and she was quite elderly then. I imagine she might have passed by now. But I often think of her and that little room and if by some magic I can get back there I will knock on that door. There are lonely people all around us.

As a Swede I have little issue understanding Norwegian, but I would absolutely not claim I speak it. Yes, the languages are similar enough that we can understand each other, but no Scandinavian will be able to speak another Scandinavian language without practice as there are many differences.
Rust implementation of projects from “Modern Compiler Implementation in ML”
Let me clarify - it is a legal/strategic decision not to put in tools that monitor their content, because keeping the line distinct between the content they author and the tools we provide also keeps the line distinct between who is responsible for whether that content meets all legislative and regulatory requirements.
Any official replies from Forbes in the second case already? Are other newspapers doing the same?
Sounds like costs rose if they threw more engineers at the problem.

I seriously doubt it.

I think all modern rich cultures have this. Sweden certainly does. As everyone gets rich enough to get your own house, you end up lonely, as you're no longer naturally interacting with others, since you don't need to.

Recently I watched the Liam Neeson version of "Cold Pursuit".

In its honesty and humor, both of which I appreciate to no end, Neeson's character's wife opines in grief on their dead son. "Did you even know his favorite movie? All of those hunting trips, what did you talk about?!?"

"... Hunting."

So very true and honest in many respects.

Conceptually, the docs I've read for prometheus basically say doing this is "wrong" and even the docs you pointed me at say it's a rare case. My use cases are completely the opposite, so I won't be adopting a system which actively tells me I'm doing it wrong.
It's crazy how ambitious it was to have Mario 64 as a launch title, particularly when you compare it with the other launch title, Pilotwings 64.
So why not just respond by buying the credentials instead? Far less risky and easier. There are a ton of forums focused on trading these credentials because students from poorer countries need them.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective. As stated earlier, in the Netherlands I worked as a freelancer for 70 EUR an hour (probably around 80 USD or so) and there it's not considered low. You'd probably be in the 10% highest earners in the country. And then I'd also probably lose ~35% of my income on income tax. Here in Thailand I pay pretty much no tax and cost of living is cheaper so for me this is a great improvement.

No one that maintains a production grade compiler is lazy. I would say that no one that maintains a compiler of any quality is lazy.

Let's replace "laziness" with "carefully considered trade-offs" in this context.

i.e. "The fact that a lot of modern day compilers don't have built in assemblers etc. are probably more due to carefully considered trade-offs".
What leads well-off Americans, whose safety and comfort is guaranteed by the constant efforts of law enforcement, to conclude that legal efforts to make law enforcement more efficient would make the world a worse place?
There are two issues with how this study is discussed and it may not be a reproducibility issue exactly.
1) published in american psychology - samples europeans and south africans...
Without sampling Americans where the effect was first displayed I don’t think we can call it ‘largely a myth’. There are huge potential cultural factors here for why someone might intervene or not.
2) There’s a sampling issue. Looking at police reports means committed crimes, while something intervened may not be reported to the police

It's making it worse until something bad happens to someone you value.

If Obama's daughters (or Trump's if you are on the other side) were killed in some horrific racist incident, wouldn't you approve the usage of such software if it was the only hope of getting the perpetrator? Or would you say "as much as I am saddened, I cannot approve such massive invasion of privacy".
They think they are on the good guys' side.
Eh, not for many, many Americans. My school, and most of the schools in my county, offered only Spanish and my understanding is that four years of it still wouldn't qualify a person for AP credit.

It's hard to find more data beyond my anecdata -- an EdWeek article I found reported that less than 50% of schools report world language enrollment data.

Also, the Europeans who learn three or four languages in school also have the luxury to learn those languages for free* through public schooling, so I'm not sure I understand your point.

I am sure that your implication that every American kid can get a quality free foreign language skill in school is false: just like almost every single other educational outcome in the US, it's generally great in the good (wealthy, suburban) schools and terrible in the bad (poor, rural or urban) schools.

Just about everything except for the business itself. Cool, you outsourced a bunch of operational stuff.

What you're forgetting is that insurance companies still need their custom insurance software with all of their custom risk models built in. That's the entire value proposition of the business so your estimate that it's only "0.5%" of what the company needs is way off.

I see you say you’ve lived in America and it sounds like you’ve emigrated. May I ask why? I’m also from America and this couldn’t be further from my own experience. I come from a more religious family from the Midwest, but grew up in the suburbs of nyc. Through my community I’ve never felt alone and my dad is actively involved in the church. In nyc amongst the yuppies especially I see a dog eat dog mentality and how everyone is fighting for themselves. But once I step out of the hustle and bustle and go back home, I have the community that is there for me and our family. I don’t intend for this post to be an advertisement for the church, but I think in America it will be more and more important to form a community aspect, like a church, but not a church where people feel like they belong and get to know their neighbors. Without knowing your neighbors and community it’s easy to feel isolated.

FWIW, Apple has a "VPN" API that can be used to implement a firewall (or a proxy, or etc.). I don't know whether there's a usable commercial product that does that, but if you're really into it you can certainly write your own.
The duality of modern Microsoft is absolutely astounding. How they can simultaneously do incredible things for Github, and open source Windows components, while continuing to not fix the most user hostile Windows ever produced, is completely bonkers.

My litmus test for whether Windows is finally fixed is whether of not it’s possible to install it without Candy Crush, but unfortunately without killing the network and applying a registry patch as far as I know it can’t be done.

>You are not going to care one bit if you bought that extra widget or got an extra story in on your sprint later in life. Put time into what matters: people

It's such a hack premise, but this actually happened to me - my mother used to work in a nursing home, and required all of her kids to volunteer there when they were old enough (12 to 21 if you still lived at home). My job, as the rambunctious ADHD youth was to give 'wheelchair rides'. Which was where I would push the elderly around the grounds looking at trees and what-not, and just generally being an audience while they talked.

The one thing that literally everyone I gave a ride to, when the topic inevitably turned to death (it always did, old people are so straight up about it) - the absolute only topic that everyone hit on was that they regretted doing 'x' instead of spending time with 'person y'.

I gave wheelchair rides to poor people - who regretted not spending more time with their kids because they were busy working or whatever.

I gave wheelchair rides to rich people - who regretted not spending more time with their kids because they were busy working or whatever.

And that made me into the 'I will work only 40 if that's what is required of me' beast that I am today. In my area of the US, we have a very 1950's 'work until you can't anymore' sort of mentality; the kind where work defines you.

I have left several positions in my career because they refused to understand that my time at home with family and friends is more important than my time at work, and that my time is so much more important to me than any financial incentive they could offer past my base salary.
I believe this is an "introvert" vs "extrovert" situation. I'm introverted and I'm like you - spending time with folks after work is a chore. I prefer to hang around "known associates" as it were - my wife, my kid, my in-laws, my friends. Spending time with folks outside those circles is draining for me; I dread doing it, and I look forward to getting home again.

However, I have a few folks in my close circles that are clear extroverts. They love going out with people after work, always seem to be somewhere doing something talking to someone. They never want to go home because home is "boring."
> how hard would it be for an experienced programmer to port it over effectively?

They should at least grasp a bit of the math involved, which is possible but not elementary. A full re-implementation would not be hard, the hard thing would be to remove the non-essential steps that increase the quality by a negligible amount but have a huge impact in the running time. Knowing what parts of the algorithm are essential and what parts are superfluous is not easy if you don't understand the algorithm.
All that is true, but it's a fallacy to group them together and conclude that we are better off in the aggregate.
Nuclear is also extremely expensive. Personally I see opportunities in being an early adopter of technologies that have to become quite popular over the next few years if we want to prevent catastrophic climate change, but I'm not enough of an economist to have a strong opinion.

I would also be okay with building some nuclear, put nuclear and renewables don't go very well together, and I believe it's much harder to build enough nuclear plants quickly enough to replace all fossil energy consumption than it is to build enough wind turbines.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted - it's an interesting question.

My understanding is that this is would not be illegal because of how discrimination laws work in the US. We have protected classes that can't be descriminated against, but we don't have a generic "no discrimination" employment law.

For example, it's illegal to discriminate against old people, colored people, gay people, disabled people, etc when hiring. It would not necessarily be illegal to discriminate against neurotypical people because they are not a protected class.

Possibly because there isn't. The police were created to be state-sanctioned goons.
Yes, thank you! This is exactly right.
Their assumption is that they're being targeted and that this "united front" will give attackers less reason to target them, when the harsh reality is that these CrytoMalware emails/IM Spam are being send to every business/government internationally looking for the softest targets.

They should have passed a resolution to implement a 1-2-3 Backup Strategy with mandatory offline & offsite backups and testing protocols. But that would cost money and require competent management/oversight, instead they'd prefer to pass a meaningless fiat that won't do jack.

Honestly until there are consequences for government officials/management nothing will change. This is 95% about poor resource management and 5% about CrytoMalware. Nobody should be paying, because they should ALREADY have multiple tiers of backups, that are audited, tested, and reviewed.

PS - "It also encrypted our backups" is also pure incompetence. They just didn't want to manage rotated backups or pay the storage fee/costs of high density tape.

When I get home Saturday afternoons, I'm mobbed by my sons who are looking forward to riding on the mower. :) It's one of the things we all look forward to: lawn work. I pay my sons to pick up and rake. I pay them to use the blower and take out the trash. I teaching them that they should be paid for their efforts, but also that if they don't work, they don't get paid. One of my sons is eager beaver and on fire for anything physical involving power tools, riding mowers, tractors, 4-wheelers, etc. The other is very cerebral and prefers computers and gaming. I cater to both, liking both myself. I want, more than anything, for my sons (and daughter) to look back on their childhood and say it was really just one big daddy/son and daddy/daughter project that involved fun and learning. I don't coddle my children in any way, shape, or form. I grew up military and still abide in much of that lifestyle. My children know they are loved beyond measure, but they also know they have serious home expectations.
Unless you know the context they are used in it doesn't say anything.
