> The context awareness means it will prevent you from filling a password on a phishing site.

This is literally one of the last major attack vectors since password managers became somewhat more popular.

They all do encryption well, even the ones that keep the database on a server you don't control it's most probably actually encrypted, etc. They do the basic password manager thing. They keep your passwords.

Every time there's something wrong/vulnerable with a password manager, it is because it's a browser extension and the attack surface between the password manager and the browser is being attacked.

> I share your wariness of the browser extensions, but you're betting that a software bug is more likely than human error.

Well, it literally has been.

(this is why I'm using Keepass and no browser extension for my passwords)

I think that nowadays authors have many more ways for revenue streams than before

Doing some ghost writing, being contributors in large publications and selling backlinks (doggy I know) and more stuff writers can do beside their being full time Author

The money they can make from those small jobs can help them to have some more freedom to continue their profession as Authors

It’s interesting how OP talks about the process as something unique and groundbreaking. Honestly that’s how 90% of the tech companies handle architecture and design - a bunch of people whiteboarding solutions and drawing box diagrams and writing down notes. In 12 years I haven’t worked at any company that uses the tools he mentions.
Experience usually drives the output and the result of the mentioned “process”. An experienced engineer in the room is more likely to bring up non-functional characteristics and related concerns such as performance, security, high availability etc.
You can choose not to have a formalized architecture process or review and you can also choose to just draw boxes which link to each other without completely making sense - like a class with an arrow pointing to a machine and another arrow pointing to a process (which is fine until a couple of years later, someone looks at a dangling process in the diagram and wonders which machine/container it’s running on). Obviously Ymmv because it’s not some “predictable” process and purely relies on drawing out the collective experience and intelligence of the room
Maybe it's just me, but it always seems like a cash grab whenever a company updates its prices and allows customers to prepay x amount for the old price. Why not offer a discount, or coupon code instead? Not saying that I disagree with the price increase, just that specific method of rewarding existing customers.
What I mean is, why GP instead of, say polynomial regression, or training a NN on the CNN outputs?

I'm curious if the decision was due to some feature of GPs that you really needed, and could not easily get otherwise. I'm not doubting your choice, really, I'm just trying to get a feeling for what niche GPs fill (given their difficult computational requirements), as I have never found the opportunity to use them.

> that would help to incorporate locality into the overall prediction.

Not sure what you mean by this so I am sure I am missing something.

Allowing for bankruptcy discharge would lead to less predatory lending (since all of a sudden the banks would have an interest in checking credit-worthiness), and that in turn would lead to universities losing many students if they don't lower tuition costs to reasonable levels again.

Not allowing defaulting on student loans was a huge driver in why tuitions are so high without any added value from the universities.

I read the comments and see there are two types of engineers - conservatives and liberals, those who work for big corporations, draw UML diagrams with factories, bridges and facades and throwing arguments that because of some regulations or privacy policies your architecture can change and you need to be prepared for it. Those guys are right.

More liberal engineers are saying that keeping code simple is the key and to keep it simple you need to be smart and creative. Those guys are right as well.

Now back to reality, the conservative developers will always work on the code that was written by liberal developers because the latter deliver sh*t in time that works and carry the business on their shoulders, where the first makes it work in another scale.

Conclusion - there are different types of engineers and our responsibility is to accept that humans are not machines and somebody likes to CREATE vision and value, others like to manage huge system that are complex.
If you do end up moving to another provider, I'd be interested to see if you get a better experience. Once of the things that puzzles me, especially for an open core solution, is that companies really don't want to do custom development. Or possibly they don't want to have the difficult discussion about cost.

I'm always harping on about this, but I don't really see open source companies trying to build value the way Cygnus did. Instead of saying, "Pay us $x per seat and you get whatever we give you", say "Have as many seats as you want and pay us $x to make it do what you want". Cygnus actually did both with GCC and were quite successful at it.

It's not just Gitlabs either. I can't think of a software provider with an open core model that primarily sells software development services (Hmmm... Possibly Code Weavers now that I think about it). I remember asking this to Gitlabs ages ago and they said that they tried this model before they took VC money but that they just couldn't get it to work. It still baffles me as to why that's the case.
What sort of pentesters was that who didn't specify and get a signed off code of conduct before they did a physical pentest? Having a paper to wave in front of the arresting cops is more important than the promise of money. Jesus. Amateurs.
I'm not on MacOS but find Inkscape pretty snappy in general, even with big projects.

Perhaps it's not the Layers but the effects? Blur in particular is pretty slow. Have you tried reducing the displayed filter quality? This doesn't effect the image itself, only the display in Inkscape. It's in the render tab in Inkscape preferences.

At View -> Display Mode you can also toggle between full display, display without filters and only outlines. If Inkscape is significantly faster without displayed filters, setting down the display quality will definitely help.

erm... except it's true? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia

In no way is he defending Epstein. He actually calls for a harsher sentence for Epstein, and a more concrete term that paints him in a harsher light than the verdict. This is a simple matter of classification, which doesn't seem at all strange to me coming from a scientist at MIT...

Link and full text below.

https://stallman.org/archives/2019-jan-apr.html#25_April_201...

> (Now) Labor Secretary Acosta's plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein was not only extremely lenient, it was so lenient that it was illegal.

I wonder whether this makes it possible to resentence him to a longer prison term.

I disagree with some of what the article says about Epstein. Epstein is not, apparently, a pedophile, since the people he raped seem to have all been postpuberal.

By contrast, calling him a "sex offender" tends to minimize his crimes, since it groups him with people who committed a spectrum of acts of varying levels of gravity. Some of them were not crimes. Some of these people didn't actually do anything to anyone.

I think the right term for a person such as Epstein is "serial rapist".

hey, you might wanna change your website a little bit then. it's not obvious right now.

i clicked on the link of your site, and the first box i saw said "9$/month". that's enough to click away (for me).

only after i did some more clicking and followed an external(!) link to the store it was obvious you can do a one-time purchase.

in a normal situation i would never have gotten to that point and would have clicked away immediately after seeing 9/month for a new product that still has to prove itself and doesn't have a big name behind it.
>At the same time many more students are going to college than they used to.

In terms of cost this statement doesn't make sense to me. There are plenty of economies of scale in education. One professor can educate an undergrad class of 100 people for barely more than what it costs to educate 10 people. While the effort for checking exams multiplies directly with the number of people, many of the costs are lowered the more students you have.

The marginal costs per student almost go to zero if you have enough students.
It's better to link directly to their platform than just linking to this post which links to nothing
There is no new or intellectually gratifying ground to cover with this. People have made up their minds, joined their tribes, drawn their lines in the sand and are just throwing bottles at one another at this point. If the subject of these threads weren't Richard Stallman, but some other celebrity, they would all be flagged as mainstream news and flamebait and rightly so.

Let me save everyone the trouble and condense 90% of the state of these threads now and in the future:

- Richard Stallman did nothing wrong, this is just character assassination by the feminist media complex.

- Richard Stallman did nothing wrong, this is just an attack on free software by corporate interests.

- Richard Stallman did nothing wrong, insert tedious, pedantic argument about age of consent and assault here.

- You can't prove Marvin Minsky did anything wrong either.

(...)

- Richard Stallman was actually a sexist creep who had no concept of consent and the many, many stories about his behavior towards women finally caught up with him.

- Richard Stallman did nothing wrong.

The story is worth talking about, but it doesn't deserve more coverage than it's getting here.
The only real lender of significance in the market is the federal government, which makes loans without regard to credit worthiness. That policy is not subject to change for policy and political reasons. What credit check is an 18 year old going to pass for a large unsecured loan? Especially 18 year olds from disenfranchised groups?
This is great news! Will check if they fixed the issues loading files with autoconnectors, which was the only thing preventing me to use it for engineering diagrams.

Model XLNet. Seed: Some David Ogelvy marketing quote

[The consumer isn’t a moron; she is your wife. You insult her intelligence if you assume that a mere slogan and a few vapid adjectives will persuade her to buy anything.]

So you do. You make her feel like she is in control. You make her feel as if she knows everything she needs. You make her feel like she is the master. You make her feel like you can bring everything she wants.

And yet she is still in doubt about her own power and the ability to make herself the owner of what she needs. Because, she is your wife. And that means that she is in your power to make herself the owner of whatever she wants. You cannot make her feel like she is in control of what she wants, because she is not a moron, she is your wife. She is your slave. She is your master . And she is the only one to see that she is in control of what she wants. And therefore, she has nothing to prove to you : she has nothing to claim. She has nothing to tell you.

She has nothing to be ashamed of. She has nothing to blame you for. She has nothing to complain about. She has nothing to tell you, except that she can only see you through your eyes. And that is exactly why she is the only one to see that you are not in control.

You are not in control of what you want. She is in control of what you want .

I do notice. The the parent said it "never" stopped them - I'm aware of a few. I'm sure not saying the police are perfect (they are not) - but "never"!? That's an absolute that's simply not true. Shit, kids I knew were killed by police (I also knew kids that were killed by other kids). Let's all be for real tho.

Some police have killed some Innocents - and it seems to be getting more frequent - but it's not an always/never thing.

I hope shit like this never happens to anyone you know.

Now, give me more downvotes, I'm still here and have a session tomorrow.
They HAD intent - they intended to break into the building, brought the tools, etc. If the contract does not stipulate that they are allowed to break in then they're basically screwed.

"I didn't mean to break in" holds no ground in court if they actually were breaking in.
There is no 'Fundamental value'. The price is only determined by supply and demand.

Companies are traded with wildly different valuation to profit ratios,
perception of stability, speculation of future profit, and even ethics.
For example look at TSLA valuation compared to revenue, and compare it to any other car company.
Stock prices also go up after governments print money, because banks have spare cash to invest but the economics of an individual company have not changed.

At the end of the day an investor can't calculate fundamental value, there is no agreed formula for it.

I think the underlying art is in striking the right balance between the specific and the general. In studying PLs for almost a decade now, I always ask PL designers I meet to try and distill their wisdom in one sentence. Andrew Sorensen said something along the lines of "Avoid all abstraction".

That shocked me, because my pet theory at the time was that abstraction was basically a force multiplier: good abstraction makes everything exponentially better, while bad abstraction makes everything exponentially worse.

Nevertheless that quote stuck, and later I've started to appreciate it in terms of the YAGNI arguments.

Regarding abstraction, I've come to believe that a common anti-pattern is deductive abstraction: working down from a general pattern towards a specific implementation. This resembles what a sibling comment called "applying all sorts of design patterns from books to my code" (and not getting great results).

The opposite, inductive abstraction, is starting from a specific task and introducing gradual abstraction. Abstraction in lambda calculus is a beautiful example of the concept. Now make that thing a lambda term!

There's a Bret Victor classic that touches these themes [1].
