Usually debuggers take extra steps to set up, and I find it only helps for code that's really hard to reason about. But the most time consuming thing is just stepping through the code, and if it happen to go too far, I have to start over from the top again.

I do like time-traveling debuggers though. Those give me something print statements don't give, and it's really great to examine the state as the application is progressing.
Much of sci fi and fantasy is in fact commentary on our current world, often political. Almost everything Ursula Le Guin wrote was political. Kim Stanley Robinson talks fairly blatantly about the struggle against capitalism. Orson Scott Card writes a lot about nation state struggles. Margaret Atwood has a popular, political tv show on right now, watered down as it is, adapted from her very political novels. I don't know how you would describe Cory Doctorow without mentioning political struggle. Alan Moore is very, very political, and should be considered a novelist. And it goes without saying, most influential early sci fi was also political (Ray Bradbury, Heinlein, Asimov, Jack London, Frank Herbert, HG Wells).

IMHO this article seems to be more about how the novel has left social consciousness entirely. That's a far less tractable problem than reading the many political novels in print now. Either that or the author is blind to how wide politics can be—pretty much all complex conflict has some political bearing.
> FSF displays only the logos with no links [2].

That's why FSF's listed sponsors actually care about sponsoring the FSF. The ASF "sponsors" pasted by the first comment and many of the listed EFF "sponsors" aren't donating money because they care about the foundations. They're purchasing links in order to rank higher[1], and a link just happens to require donating.

[1]: EFF uses rel=nofollow on all links to sponsors, so a listing on this page probably doesn't actually do what the buyer intended. Google covers this in https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en. In a sense, EFF gets free money from people who think they're buying better ranking but actually aren't. OTOH, ASF's decision to specifically sell rel=follow links - which do pass PageRank - is surprising.
I checked out one of your video, (I believe the overly competitive coworkers one)

I think you need to clarify which aspects of these social workplace problems are the most valuable for your demographic -1 is it simply trying to come up with a solution, or is it the immediacy of dealing with a live person, 2 that pressure of having another human being look back at you.

Both of these aspects would require a fair amount, #2 seems like a lot more technical work involve to create a live person staring at you. (I actually think this one would be a home-run but it's a technical challenge, to create a simulation that triggers someone's social anxiety?)

One number 1, I think the limiting factor which would shy away potential users is that most would feel their situation is unique. So developing a giant algorithm that would encompass every possible nuance of workplace social problems could be done, but that would just be text.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of interactive videos because I would prefer to simply read the answer faster. However, if you can give me a text answer that fits my situation, that's all I'd want. Hope this helps.
Not really..since the president can retroactively declassify material ( as can the secretary of state see : Hillary emails )
They don't decide. Google can't stop someone from having a relationship with someone else- but they can stop either one or both from being employed at Google.

Satellites can take photos from many angles too, you could maybe figure it out from some very sensitive foreshortening analysis to try and work out how far away it was.
So I suppose that we should ban series about suicide... Also the more people that drive, also increases the number of people who die on the road, thus it follows that we ban driving.
Do Citizens Have a Right to See the Algorithms Used by Publicly-Funded Software
That's not the pattern 'always'. There are lots of such cases where the writer's account turns out to be inaccurate in key details. Sometimes inadvertently, sometimes less so. And companies don't always swoop in to apologize and resolve the issue.
Even if the same key is shared by all processes, keys are stored in registers that are meant to be not accessible to userspace, so a disclosure vulnerability would not help here anyways.

Desire is not putting something up on a pedestal and saying, hey, I desire this. We don't desire liberty and so forth, for example; that doesn't mean anything. We find ourselves in situations.

Take today's Armenia, a recent example. What is the situation there? If I understand correctly -- please let me know if I don't, though that's not the point either -- there's an Armenian enclave in another Soviet republic. So there's an Armenian republic, and then an enclave. Well, that's a situation. First, there's the massacre that the Turks, or the Turkic people, I'm not sure, massacre the Armenians once again, in their enclave. The Armenians take refuge in their republic -- I think, and again, please correct my errors -- and then, there, an earthquake hits. It's as if they were in the Marquis de Sade. These poor people went through the worst ordeals that they could face, and they've only just escaped into shelter when Mother Nature starts it all up again.

I mean, we say "human rights", but in the end, that's a party line for intellectuals, and for odious intellectuals, and for intellectuals without any ideas of their own. Right off the bat, I've noticed that these declarations of human rights are never done by way of the people that are primarily concerned, the Armenian associations and communities, and so on. Their problem isn't human rights. What is it?

The Armenian problem is typical of what one might call a problem of jurisprudence. It is extraordinarily complex. What can be done to save the Armenians, and to enable the Armenians to extricate themselves from this situation? And then, on top of things, the earthquake kicks in. An earthquake whose unfolding also had its reasons, buildings which weren't well built, which weren't put together as they should have been. All of these things are jurisprudence cases. To act for liberty, to become a revolutionary, this is to act on the plane of jurisprudence. To call out to justice -- justice does not exist, and human rights do not exist. What counts is jurisprudence: that is the invention of rights, invention of the law. So those who are content to remind us of human rights, and recite lists of human rights -- they are idiots. It's not a question of applying human rights. It is one of inventing jurisprudences where, in each case, this or that will no longer be possible. And that's something quite different.
How I can distinguish news discussing a processor core design (seemingly, usually, marketed as a "core") from that discussing hardware that I can actually buy (a processor "chip")?

I would have thought that
1. https://blog.westerndigital.com/risc-v-swerv-core-open-sourc...
2. https://greenwaves-technologies.com/ai_processor_gap8/
and
3. https://syntacore.com/page/products/processor-ip/scr1

would be pieces of hardware that I can buy. Instead, they seem to be designs for hardware which conform to the RISC-V ISA, which could then be fabbed by a semiconductor manufacturer or flashed onto an FPGA.

What marketing/technical terms distinguish the designs of these systems from their implementations? "Core", "processor", "MCU"/"microcontroller", for example? Are any/all of these uniquely constrained to describing either a design (on paper) or that design's physical implementation in hardware?
All correctly spelled submissions are alike.
Why is this downvoted? It is factual.

Just because you dont like the president ?
Most Thunderbird / desktop tag implementations are done by just copying the message to multiple folders (which achieves nearly identical behavior, which is great. It's just not usually optimized UX). And most servers don't deduplicate messages globally (I'm not sure why, tbh. probably there's some rational-but-depressing reason).
Limiting freedoms won't fix this, it just gives the government more incentive to keep the ball rolling and ban everything. Getting power begets the persons wanting more power after that, and on and on.
> According to the DPA ruling, although the school secured parents' consent to monitor the students, the regulator did not feel that it was a legally adequate reason to collect such sensitive personal data.

It’s this kind of second-guessing which is extremely concerning about GDPR-type regulation.

Not that the information was not secure, or leaked, or mishandled, or consent wasn’t obtained, but even if all that is done, just, “We don’t think you had a good enough reason.”
It's still pretty thin, no? Should be possible to bend it relatively easy at least.
realtime hard tracking tech. Typo.
I feel like people are slowly learning that one shouldn't use google for anything important unless there is no other option. Hardware equivalent is Intel for anything but PC and laptop microprocessors. Intel acts the same way google does. And people in the hardware business avoid Intel products when alternatives exist.
Agree this was not appropriate for the specific post it was in reply to.

But notice how much of the discussion here does involve terms like "classified" or "cleared for public release".
Pay money for someone to hold my money in exchange for a cool looking card to access my money. Hard pass.

I think it's easiest to just call him a geographer, that really fits his work the best, and his most interesting ideas are geographical at their core.

Nonetheless, the idea that geographic determinism is mainstream among historians is not true. I'd imagine it's assigned in the early years of college because it has broad appeal across disciplines.
You still have to get a license and those are expensive and not easy to get.
I thought that calling out the stick figures looking like skull-and-crossbones seemed really nit-picky, but then I went back to the website and allowed JavaScript to run and was immediately put off the by all the 3rd party hosted JavaScript libraries it demands, then saw all the skulls and cross bones that loaded and I realized that not only did I agree with you I was being far worse for being offended at the web design.
>because the physical card does not fit my use case, I've elected to keep it in a file cabinet.

This is exactly the intended "use case" of the card. The physical card is what sells the Apple Card account. Look at all of the people that signed up (on HN, no less — where everyone knows that XYZ card gives better rewards). Yes, yes 3% back at the Apple Store — it's only logical. Was everyone really itching to make a purchase the Apple Store last week? How many people would sign up if it was a only virtual card?

So the slick card gets people to apply on day one, then for a while, customers carry it and show it to their friends. "Ooooh, Ahhh. Where's the number?" Then (like a lot of metal cards) they decide it would be a lot easier to just use Apple Pay and stash the card somewhere else.

Incidentally, mine is crammed in a leather wallet and looks the same as it did on day one. But I would argue that the function of the physical card is just as much to be somewhat UNdesirable for daily use as it is to be desirable to obtain.

As for the declined charges and customer service, I imagine it's just growing pains (iMessage to opt out of arbitration only took a minute). It does seem like Apple should have a big button in the UI for traveling overseas. Hopefully, they'll evolve to be like Amex and just figure it out — especially since your phone is presumably coming along on the trip.
I'm excited about the C++ lifetimes work, but it's important to recognize that its goals are much more modest than the goals of memory-safe languages. They aim to catch many common memory-safety bugs, which is very valuable, but that's not nearly the same thing as guaranteeing the absence of memory-safety bugs. https://robert.ocallahan.org/2018/09/more-realistic-goals-fo...

I always took this to be 'there is only one success, there are many failures', there is only one zero, but many values other than zero. It seemed kind of logical.
By your logic, no company should respond to public opinion because people like you will call for legislation anyway.
You skipped over the "suggests" part of that quote and just take it as fact.

Either way, that isn't really the story here since the President could declassify it anyway. The main story is the potential security and diplomatic repercussions from releasing this information in this manner.
They fix security stuff all the time. Why advertise that you failed. There's nothing to be done about it. I'm taking this point of view as a company. Telling people that you failed is not good advertising.
It would be interesting to see how different materials factor into these perceptions. They mention the straight lines and sharp edges of brutalist architecture, but if constructed out of wood instead of concrete, for example, I would expect the forms to be perceived as softer and more organic.
You can buy a LeapMotion and stick it to the front of Rift right now. I've done it, it's amazingly immersive and feels fantastic.

Could be worse. Could have been called Corn-Syrup.
The correct statistic is how quickly Android devices that are known to get updates get updates because those are the only devices that anybody who cares about security updates should buy.

So that’s “the correct statistic” as long as you ignore the literally billion Android phones that don’t get updates compared to the 0% of iPhones that were introduced since 2011 that haven’t gotten an update in the last 3 months.

In other news, everyone in the US is rich as long as you ignore all of the poor people....

It is more secure to have a device that updates the base system quickly and updates the apps instantly without the user noticing. ^

So the “base system” consists of applications* not the underlying operating system....

In 30+ years of being in the computer industry professionally and as a hobbyist, I’ve never heard anyone consider applications as the “base system”.

It is more secure to have a device that updates the base system quickly and updates the apps instantly without the user noticing. There are devices that do that, and there are devices that don't. The devices that don't are so inferior to the devices that do that they shouldn't be used.

So the vast majority of Android phones shouldn’t be used and none should be used considering the average amount of time people are keeping their phones is longer than the time that any manufacturer is supporting them?

So 90%+ of all Android phones “shouldn’t be used” even if you’re charitable and ignore the phones that only get updated for a couple of years....

Btw, to get a clue about how an ecosystem should work where one company is responsible for the operating system and other companies sell the hardware, look no further than Microsoft. Not only are one of my computers that is used as a Plex server over 10 years old and still running the latest version of Windows (a Dell Core 2 Duo circa 2009), my mom is still using my old Mac Mini circa 2006 running a supported version of Windows 7.
Fat has more calories and is more easily stored by the body than carbohydrates. Processed carbs, simple sugars give a greater rise in the hormone insulin, which basically puts fat into fat cells. It is not carbs' conversion to fat which causes weight gain, but their consumption in the presence of a high-fat diet.
Embarrassing but inconsequential
No. You're starting with the assumption that the completely free market is the best way to achieve our societal objectives around energy production, distribution, and consumption.

I disagree, saying that there are other better models than the completely free market, that still employ free market elements, including tiered and time of use pricing. But that's probably because we believe in different societal objectives on this subject.
Solving mazes is dead easy: put your hand against one wall and keep it there, now run.
A government that keeps thing from the President is way more problematic than a President arbitrarily declassifying info like this.
There is only one of any number.
It will lead the world by ending the gig economy and many of these gig workers, which can at least make something now, will make nothing when these regulations pass.
Classification / clearing has two parts: the technical classification status, and the social process of what gets classified/declassified, how, and why.

If I delete a production VM at my job, zero part of the postmortem will involve figuring out why I had access to do so. I have root on all our hypervisors, of course I have access to do so. That doesn't answer the question of why I did so, whether I knew it was a production VM, whether our standard tools should have safety checks (even if I can muck around with ssh and virsh), etc.
Yep.

The Apple MacBook keyboard is a case of form over function.

It's bad advertising. The purpose of a corporation is to make money for stockholders, not report to you that they failed to protect you from hackers. There is no advantage to letting you know, it's much better to just fix it and push the fix and be done with it. Corporations are not moral beings, it's silly to think of them in that manner.
If Trump wanted to send a message, he could probably do it with hardware above what is commercially available but below the best the US had in space. Without knowing the true extent of US imaging capabilities, accusations that something important has been revealed are somewhat unfounded.
That is true, in the pedantic sense but zero has many properties that other numbers do not.
> Indeed, how dare they spend their own free time doing things you find obnoxious?

That's not the obnoxious part. The obnoxious part is where their vulnerable software gets deployed and subverted to harm to third parties.

I certainly wouldn't ask anyone to blindly accept anyone else's judgement. The evidence is in.

Same for me, I tried the latest Nightly a couple days ago to test the CoreAnimation work, and after 1 hour of use my Slack tab because so unbearably sluggish each keypress would take 1 second to render.

No extensions, no GIFs, no heavy tabs open, perhaps one or two open tabs.

No slowdowns at all after 8 hours on Slack w/ Safari or Brave. Firefox is definitely the worst browser on macOS, compared to the Windows version where it's absolutely perfect and always quick.
there are like 10 million twitter apps why not switch to one of those and drop the one that makes your phone a POS?
I don't know why I care about this - it's a service offered to business and if business wants to take it up that's their call. But if I were your kids school I would be looking at the far simpler solution of having one outgoing caller id regardless of the extension.
I've had kids in school for 12 years now and have never received emergency communication from them. For the great balance of history, we've trusted schools to be able to make on the spot decisions on our behalf because we didn't have a phone in our pocket. And rightly so - the school has multiples of experience dealing with 8 year olds than I will ever have. What could they possibly need to consult me about in real time?
traditional credit card companies waged contractual war with merchants for decades to ban cash discounts

new payment tech will have a similar uphill battle to get people to treat them equally
That would be one way of looking at it. But the OP took the opposite conclusion, that one should avoid using Apple Card. So we have one user who is using neither Apple Card nor Google products, and a number of his readers, who are deterred from using Apple Card.
I was under the impression that they could identify faces and that was years ago.

Steel is routinely welded robotically. There are a very large number of applications where this advance in materials science will make a very large difference, keep in mind that:

- ceramics are thermally quite stable (with respect to expansion/contraction)

- ceramics do not conduct electricity

- ceramics do not melt easily

- ceramics are hard; leading to excellent longevity

- ceramics are chemically very stable

This is a pretty major thing.
Yet NPR is fine using "Sensitive" in the headline, because they know it gets more eyeballs and outrage. The image is redacted, doesn't that mean it has been approved declassified?
If it's any consolation, Gmail is dog-slow on my Samsung Chromebook 3. I switched to "Basic HTML" mode to make it bearable.
Meanwhile in the US, we still use a 10 digit number for our identification, regardless of who is holding it. I'm not sure which is worse :/

EDIT: phone numbers are 10 digits, SSN is 9.
You're wrong. Letting it run out isn't bad for your battery. At most you'll get an extra 10% of battery life out of the "don't go below 30% or above 80% when charging to get the best life out of your battery". I use my phone and charge it when it goes dead or when I go to sleep at night depending on usage. I regularly get 4 years or so out of my phone before switching to a new one.

Yeah. At this point, any identity provider that doesn't support FIDO u2f is either incompetent or negligent or both.
I've exercised at low and high intensities for years. Whether it's hiking, biking, running, yoga, or weights, exercise is an INCREDIBLY inefficient way to lose weight.

It does however promote muscle growth/stability and heart function when done properly.

If you are looking to lose weight and greatly improve your health and longevity, eat one meal per day. Seriously. I have lost 40 pounds like this and now I have excellent kidney function (it used to be bad), normal cholesterol, no athsma, no sleep apnea, and a very healthy BMI.

The secret is restoring the proper function of insulin in your body, which is a very powerful hormone that can cause weight gain and cardiovascular inflammation when not properly controlled.

The Western diet of 3 meals per day, of virtually any type/size, is bad for insulin function.

Conversely, even a Western diet of any type/size, when eaten in one sitting per day (fasting 23 hours otherwise), has been incredible for my health.
