That would result in that browser being banned by my company (amongst many others).
We have a regulatory requirement to prevent any customer data (and a lot of other data) leaving the premises.
Anything which prevents the proxies from scanning all requests to ensure they don't contain regulated data would get blocked very quickly.
First thing I "purchased" after applying was two charitable donations, which I hear is two big red waving flags for fraud when done on the web. Transactions went through just fine.
Incredible, thanks for sharing this.
It's not just memory-safety, but type-safety.
I actually learned a bit about how eyes work from this short little article, all I will ever need to know anyhow. It certainly doesn't represent the worst kind of science journalism. I bet I could think of (at least) 4 or 5 worse kinds of science journalism.
Pipeline makes transportation cheaper but doesn’t increase the supply if they were already using trucks. In that case your entire macroeconomics point is wrong unless the pipeline made the difference between profitability and loss.
> the only implementation anyone bothers to use.

I don’t think that’s accurate. I use LibPNG but I also use other things too.

When I write for Linux or cross platform, my only requirement “decode bytes in RAM to texture in VRAM”, I prefer stb_image for usability.

When I write Windows software, I prefer OS provided codecs. In modern world that’s WIC for C++ code, previously OleLoadPicture API. This way I don’t have to patch image codecs in my software for security bugs, MS does that in windows updates. Also helps with binary size.
Well, if those "normal people" are christians, their religion tells them not to look down on nobody, and that the worst sinner is still a human being (not that most christians aren't actually mere Old Testament types).

There's an equivalent version of the same sentiment that atheists can share too.

Participating in their activities, or not stopping them when they see them, is another thing, of course.

I wouldn't hold it to somebody if they befriended an ex-murderer for example, knowing e.g. they killed people in the past.
Was this attitude common even before the civil rights act of 1964, despite the confederation?
Because nobody wants to drive there.
Interesting, it sounds like the brain is creating a spatio temporal model and that these firings are creating a driving signal, but it has to be phased locked to the model or it falls apart, if enough of these driving signals align, a new model is formed. Is that a correct interpretation? It would also make sense that we create a future prediction model to overcome the horrible lag and the high latency in neural processing. The whole system runs at the 10s of Hz.

A lot could be going on here from an information theoretic standpoint, compressed sensing, error correction, time series prediction all operating in concert to reconstruct a model of the world inside our minds.

Ublock origin can be added to Palemoon and it makes a great browser. If a website doesn't work in Palemoon then too bad for them. I've had a great break from twitter since their new UI doesn't work. And recaptchas can go captcha themselves.
How does this compare to something like https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_image.h ?

Is it just that it has more features and can handle weird edge cases?
My guess is they are trying to appeal to that group... as an aside to the main cool factor.

Look at the presentation of the card and the offering. When the presentation is more competitive than the offering, you know they are trying to sell you $10 bars of chocolate. Very cool. Not the best.

There are many OpenJDK(-based) distributions out there, mostly built from the OpenJDK {8, 11} Update Releases sources. AdoptOpenJDK provides one of those distributions.

Most of the actual backport work is done by the OpenJDK participants, notably people from Red Hat (like me), SAP, Amazon, Azul and others. Oracle does not participate in OpenJDK 8u/11u directly, opting to maintain their separate tree, from which they build Oracle JDK 8u/11u available under the commercial license. There is also a security collaboration between many companies (OpenJDK Vulnerability Group), which drops its deliverables in relevant source trees.

At one point, I tried to draw this map to show the bird's eye view on the landscape: https://shipilev.net/jdk-updates/map/ -- you can find AdoptOpenJDK there.

What gets people confused is http://openjdk.java.net/ linking to Oracle distribution (either at jdk.java.net, or Oracle site). That might be seen as "OpenJDK providing the binaries", but it is actually not: it links to one of the distribution providers.

> Binary protocols ARE easier than JSON.

You're speaking super hand wavy though. What specific protocol is better than JSON? I'm sure there are plenty, but that's not the point.

The point is, if it's not as common as JSON then it can hardly be considered easier, can it? If I have to write a implementation of X protocol just to work with this DAP or LSP, is that really easier?

Imo, commonality is hugely important when you're trying to work with every editor and every language (that editors are written in) out there.

I'm not saying there isn't a binary protocol that would be in every language out there. However JSON basically is, at the very least. So lets talk apples to apples about what you think is better, because "Binary protocols" is the vague sense are not even remotely as common and widely supported as JSON.

Don't get me wrong, I sort of hate JSON. Yet for many applications, especially those seeking compliance with everything under the sun, it has merit.
Not sure what counts as human rights in your book, but to me freedom of speech and a right to privacy are among them. I’m glad some companies stepped up to protect their users from their authoritarian government as a matter if principle. It shows that corporate values can do good.
Read the license on this thing. "open data set" is a stretch here. It's against the license terms to publish a trained model, or its weights, or even use the dataset for models that are run on a physical vehicle (supposedly even if that's just a research vehicle).

Is this normal for 'open datasets'?

It might save hundreds and but also kill thousands in the short-term, too: powerful broad spectrum antibiotics aren't without adverse effects, perhaps especially if taken in a genuine emergency that just isn't the kind of emergency the user thinks it is.
> The problem is that we're well past the point where "carbon-neutral" is good enough. We not only need to stop causing additional harm, we need to figure out ways to undo at least some of the harm we've already done.

Agreed. I think we're already well into a new phase in humanity where geo-engineering on a massive scale is going to be needed if we don't want to slip back into the dark ages, or worse. Unfortunately there may not be any practical solutions available to us.

I agree with a lot of what you said, I don't the markets can solve the problem. It will take wide scale government intervention. Maybe that means capitalism as we know must go away, or just a highly modified version of capitalism, I don't know. But free market capitalism is absolutely going to drive us off the cliff.
Flat bed scanner will give best quality. Table top DSLR camera will go fastest with a reasonable quality. For automatically extracting the photos from a digitalized page, I experimented with OpenCV Shape detection in a small custom Python code and had reasonable results. Can share my code if you are interested (it is really not much beyond what you find at OpenCV tutorials).
Not to mention that, if you believe Giuffre was grandstanding, why on earth would she name an academic whose name nobody outside of the CS world would recognize? If she was just pulling names out of thin air, how many famous names would the average person go through before they got to Marvin Minsky?

It's the very out-of-left-field-ness of the allegation that makes it seem credible.

> Have heard that Silicon and Germanium have 4 bonds like Carbon does

This is true of all group 14 elements.

Carbon is the lightest and thus most-common group 14 element. Carbon and silicon are the only two group 14 elements lighter than iron, which means they're the only ones produced by stellar burning. (Everything heavier than iron is produced exotically, e.g. by supernovae and neutron star collisions.)

Most (chemical) life is thus probably carbon based, with a minority running on silicon. If germanium-based life exists, it's near a supermassive black hole.
What changed was computers. Computers didn't just improve productivity incrementally. It was easy for the management class to deal with giving a worker an 8% annual raise when their productivity grew by 10%. Then computers showed up. And workers using computers were suddenly gaining 80% or 150% productivity (if measured with the same metrics as previously). The management class could not tolerate giving out wage increases that large. The 'work hard, be more productive, and you will make more' mantra was only ever meant to be a means to preserve the status quo. It was not meant to facilitate the large-scale social change that rewarding profound productivity increases with profound wage increases would create. There was a very well-defined concept, held by both the upper class and the middle and lower classes, that it should require 40 hours of sacrifice per week for 40+ years before a person could financially survive retirement. If people could retire at 40 years of age, it would throw everything out of whack. Or at least that was the presumption.

All those stories about how automation and technology would enable people to work less have two sides. They're very appealing with workers. They're grim horror stories for those who define themselves by how many people they control and how much value they get those people to produce for a low price.
The actual crime matters. "Felon" has no moral meaning, just a somewhat arbitrary legal classification. He also did not "serve his time" in the sense that the phrase is typically understood (a person who made mistakes but has atoned), especially when you consider the fact that he used his money and influence to evade the consequences at every turn and also continued to commit more sex crimes during the time he was supposed to be imprisoned.

How many convicted child sex traffickers get to spend 16 hours a day at home instead of a prison cell?
Its also interesting to see what MS does offer these days. Powershell returns objects so you can actually get at the a Process object with proper typing instead of dealing using sed to parse out some info.

It can be really nice if you have the time to look up the documentation. It doesn't have the WYSIWYG simplicity of files, though.
> In my view this is not sufficient to warrant scrubbing people's names from our historical memory.

Did someone suggest doing that? I said it's important to contextualize his work, not to write him out. You are arguing against a position I don't hold.

> Interviews with the people who were at Atari at the time of the alleged sexist behavior disagreed with the categorization

Nolan himself went on record in 2012 in Playboy describing a wild atmosphere and describing one of his employees as 'stacked', the 2001 book The Ultimate History of Video Games describes his attitude, Nolan told the San Francisco Chronicle "Some ladies feel comfortable around me, some don't."
I don't think it takes religion to see this as a bad thing. Just simple empathy and common sense. Even with zero empathy for the victims, its seems like terrible business sense to associate with a child sex trafficker. People in general care about their reputations.
Well, maybe not directly, but the code you diligently backport does come mostly from Oracle. ;)

I don’t believe Epstein was blackmailing anyone. I think his associates were more than happy to give him whatever he wanted in exchange for the depravities he organised for them. That’s why they’re always smiling and happy in photos with him. They don’t look like blackmail victims. And even if they were... you cannot blackmail someone unless they’ve done something!

It was the same with Weinstein.
That is just psychology. You can deny it, but its still there. You can try to shape it, and cover it up with prim and proper etiquette, but its still there. A thousand years of civilization has nothing on a hundred thousand years of caveman tendencies. Being able to fight is part of the male baser drive, much like competing/winning/chasing women. Its what got us to where we are. Also explains rugby, boxing, NFL.. soccer hooliganism, hockey fights, action movies, desire to ride motorcycles, self-flagellation/insisting on using Emacs, etc :P
Binary data is lossy over json without more encoding/decoding, for example. HTTP is slooow, which is fine for stepping. But step debugging is not a problem that needs solving...unless....

That wasn't an "existential" war for the US.

As the linked post suggests though, building the relationship wasn't without warning in this case (as in, he asked Ito not to take the meeting due to the history involved).

An unfortunate relationship, but I don't believe the outrage is unwarranted (or, as implied by the OP, merely virtue signalling).
So the lake next to my house is NOT 'impaired' in that you can catch and eat fish from it but because of algae they have certain times that are impaired.

They actively stock it and encourage fishing. Not sure why it's listed here but makes me skeptical about the rest of the data as I've only looked at one data point and it was wrong.
That's because the Norway mining thing is totally irrelevant to the big picture?
> JSON isn't really anything to do with JavaScript any more.

JSON has a lot to do with JavaScript. I don't know why you think JavaScript doesn't have anything to do with JSON. JSON and JavaScript are used together every day.
Your point was that you assisted people after they did their time.

Epstein did not do his time. He did not go through any reformation process. People were willing to take his money and his professional connections even knowing his recent conviction for which his time was upcoming.

This isn't a case where someone is reformed and people aren't forgiving them. Epstein was not reformed, did not serve his time, and people were still actively engaging with him. Those people were not engaging with a reformed man. They were engaging with a predator.

I entirely agree with you that reformed felons deserve a chance after they serve their time. Epstein was not reformed and he did not serve time, therefore what chance did he deserve on account of these people?

- It has a bunch of popular vacation destinations (beaches on the Gulf Coast, beaches on the Atlantic, theme parks at Orlando, cruise ship ports, and the Florida Keys)

- It's both really large (it would take ~10 hours to drive from Pensacola to Miami) and pretty dense (8th densest state as of 2015[1])

- It has a lot of military bases: 5 active Air Force bases and 4 Naval Air Stations, along with a bunch of other installations that also have airfields.

More broadly: It has good weather most of the year, it's the closest point in the continental US to a lot of places (the Carribean, Central and South America), and it had a ton of empty land during the period that the US started building a lot of airfields.

I can't think of a more compelling illustration of the need for leadership at every level of government, business, and society promoting environmental stewardship, including each of us who can reduce consumption, vote, and lead others to follow suit.

We can't rely on a Swedish 16-year-old with autism any more.
Yes, it's possible that he blackmailed Wexner, and then used Wexner's money to bootstrap the "Club Epstein" scenario.

But if you're trying to lure people in so you can blackmail them, why would you bother charging them $20 million at the door? They can afford it, sure, but wouldn't that risk some of them saying no and thus denying you the opportunity to blackmail them?
Because he asks great questions and gets out of the interviewee's way. And he gets amazing guests like Michael Pollan, Dennis McKenna, etc. I like Joe Rogan a lot and I think he deserves his success.

> These “feed forward” models were easier to create, but they ignored the plain implications of the anatomy of the cortex — which suggested “feedback” loops had to be a big part of the story.

Almost 15 years ago, Jeff Hawkins proposed a similar explanation as to why biological neural networks are so much more effective than artificial neural networks. If this paper bears out, it will mean he was right track. His theory was based on 3 criteria that he believed to be essential to understanding the brain:

> The second criterion was the importance of feedback. Neuroanatomists have known for a long time that the brain is saturated with feedback connections. For example, in the circuit between the neocortex and a lower structure called the thalamus, connections going backward (toward the input) exceed the connections going forward by almost a factor of ten! That is, for every fiber feeding information forward into the neocortex, there are ten fibers feeding information back toward the senses. Feedback dominates most connections throughout the neocortex as well. No one understood the precise role of this feedback, but it was clear from published research that it existed everywhere. I figured it must be important.
Downplaying this so much is a bit disingenuous, I think. It’s already shown to be having a negative impact, without the spill being properly investigated yet.

The real problem comes down to the state giving priority to the industry instead of its own people.

The ongoing practice of minimal reporting of these incidents, as well as the conspiring to cover it up, should be investigated, and those involved should be held responsible.

You're mashing together two different things: helping someone get elected, and getting special "favors" in return for helping someone get elected. What the Supreme Court has said is that the first thing, by itself, is not corruption, whether or not you use money to accomplish that. (And everyone uses money to help politicians get elected, from gross-roots organizations to newspapers who print endorsements. If merely using money to help someone get elected could be regulated as "corruption" the government would have vast powers over political speech.)

The second thing, giving special favors to people who helped you get elected, can be corruption, whether or not money is involved, as long as a quid pro quo arrangement can be shown. For example, few people would disagree that its core free speech for newspapers to be able to endorse candidates. (Even the government in Citizens United suggested that the freedom of the press clause might protect newspapers separately from general speech protections.) But if the Washington Post entered into a quid pro quo arrangement with Joe Biden to endorse him in return for favorable legislation that specifically benefited the newspaper, that might be prosecuted as a corrupt quid pro quo arrangement even though no money changed hands. The quid pro quo arrangement in your hypothetical--which Citizens United does not address--is what makes the corruption, not spending money to get someone elected.
That's right, there are a number of widespread/popular standalone we servers for Python. However, many folks already have some classical web server running and "only" want to add "a grain of" server side dynamics. That's still where PHP excels. Damned easy to get started with.

I think that blog is wrong.

Rust is not a magical language. It's just got the right features to be a C replacement, which is mostly: a simple type system (much simpler than C++'s or Java's) that has the right extensibility (traits, no inheritance) and can have an ABI that programmers can reason about due to monomorphization (no v-table dispatch).

All the borrow checker stuff amounts to: just enough pain that to avoid it you must design better APIs.

Installing a cert in the local root store means 'I fully trust the owner of this certificate'. It is an intentional feature of TLS to use this to be able to consensually MitM a TLS connection.

Yet here, western companies have decided that, regardless of whether the user wants to be Man in the Middle -ed by Kazakhstan, they simply cannot.
This is inherently a political and not a technical decision. What Kazakhstan is doing is not actually breaking TLS, but instead using a feature.
This is implemented now, you can add a "before" request handler [1] and inspect the HOST header to check the domain and switch to an alternative configuration for that request. Dashboard compiles a global.packageJSON [2] holding your template, title, menu links etc and you can override that per-request by setting an alternative req.packageJSON for more individualized site settings too. Each of your application servers can serve a '/public/template-additional.css' and '/public/content-additional.css' to override the appearance as well.

module.exports = {
before: async (req) => {
switch (req.host) {
case 'domain1.com':
req.dashboardServer = 'domain1.com'
req.applicationServer = 'http://localhost:7000'
req.applicationServerToken = 'shared secret'
break
}
}
}

This will work with per-site user accounts because the data was already partitioned by the dashboard server address. I think for sharing accounts across multiple websites you could just omit changing the req.dashboardServer.
