I don't know if you go through old comments, but for your reference:

"Mac OS X is sort of microkernelish. Inside, it consists of Berkeley UNIX riding on top of a modified version of the Mach microkernel. Since all of it runs in kernel mode (to get that little extra bit of performance) it is not a true microkernel, but Carnegie Mellon University had Berkeley UNIX running on Mach in user space years ago, so it probably could be done again, albeit with a small amount of performance loss, as with L4Linux. Work is underway to port the Apple BSD code (Darwin) to L4 to make it a true microkernel system." [1]

That’s fascinating! It makes me happy to know that you enjoy books.

Have you ever watched any videos by 3blue1brown? I personally find I have difficulty understanding concepts until I find a way to visualize them. Which of course becomes very challenging for abstract mathematics. I wonder if you find things that are traditionally difficult to visualize easier to comprehend. Such as having greater intuition for higher dimensional math.
No, the backdoor can use some activation mechanism on chip to avoid drawing power when not in use, then the additional power draw will be so low that it's essentially undetectable.

Tbh you'd have a hard time since either you're trying to measure a few milliwatts in a very noisy environment (either very low wattage, so various effects dominate, or high wattage, where your equipment will quickly get very very expensive).

This one is really killing me lately.

In almost all cases it points to something only tangentially related and is of no help.

SO used to be a place that smart people could go to get other smart people to help them with a problem.

Now it mostly seems to be a place where people help students with their high-school CS homework and then bitch about not being there to help with homework!

Quora is even worse!

I am eagerly waiting for whoever comes up with the next reasonable knowledge-sharing site to leave these two POS sites where they belong!
VIM is all about efficiency and comfort, I'm wondering why any vim user would use ESC key in default position, to exit insert mode you can write:

- ESC

- Ctrl-c

- Ctrl-[

- Configure Caps as Ctrl when held, ESC when tapped

- Use key chord, for example 'jk'
I usually save the recipe from the site directly instead of bookmarking it. I've been burned a few times by a few of the big, spammy recipe sites (Allrecipes, etc.) when they've taken a recipe down. No idea why, but all it did was reduce my visits to their site from a few times per month to zero.
OK, good point. That does rule out using singular "they" after someone expresses a preference. For her, that is. But not for my hypothetical religious person. Who, it's hard to deny, wouldn't be all that unusual.

However, she doesn't flatly say "use preferred pronouns". And she also talks about not using pronouns at all.

So, as an alternative hypothetical, even avoiding pronouns completely when someone says "I declare as female" could be perceived as rude.
In this post, Mr Fullerton 'takes the brunt' of the blame, clearly defusing any more singular issues with the various individuals involved. This has the unfortunate side effect of highlighting how SE is not a community run system, but is more of an oligarchy. One wonders how it could have been handled better, but still, all decisions went through one person and it wasn't a community that did it.
Maybe do some research in ADD/ASD?
That's not such a bad idea actually, because text messaging is a primary part of predatory "grooming" activity.

Why Deepfakes Pose an Unprecedented Threat to Businesses
Despite the fragmentation and lack of updates provided by most OEMs, Android's architecture from security point of view is safer than any other Linux based platform, with exception of ChromeOS.

Managed languages userspace, drivers implemented in Java or C++ in their own process with IPC to the kernel (since project Treble), whitelist of allowed native calls beyond the rather thin set of native libraries, to touch IO beyond own APK install dir or TCP/IP, native code needs to go through managed layer, several security critical processes are deployed in production with FORTIFY and sanitizers turned on.

ChromeOS turns the notch even higher by running Crostini on its own Rust implemented hypervisor and Go written userspace syscalls wrapper (gVisor).
whos that person then? you wont find a name because its not about specific people. if it was then it would be pretty simple to just use the pronouns when talking to them and there wouldnt be any issue

but this is about editing posts to be gender neutral. why do we need to do that? if YOU dont have a specific pronoun then whats the problem?

If politicians in democracies can survive without serving their constituencies, that means their constituencies are letting them get away with that. For example: the voters might have failed to vote for sensible campaign financing reform so that politicians serve financial interests more than voters.

In the end these possibilities are always given by voters, and they can only be taken away by voters.
Quite literally, Monica said she avoids singular pronouns in general, not just for any particular group or person, because she doesn't feel that singular pronouns are required to moderate a community in most cases. That was the problem that lead to firing her and starting an undercover witch hunt, with SO leaking private chat excerpts and talking to media to bash her.

This isn't about singling anybody out with pronouns.
I agree, Tesla does seem an odd inclusion - I was of the impression that each car was sold at a profit - vs Lyft, Uber, and all the other “gig” companies that all make losses on every transaction.
Using gimp as a verb can also be a sly reference to Pulp Fiction: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bring%20out%...
I think we both agree that cars have some significant utility to them, although having utility doesn't mean that any amount of cost is acceptable. This is my problem with "cars pay for themselves, therefore other forms of transit should pay for themselves", which I have seen evidence against (see linked pdf) and nothing conclusively for. The meaningful discussion to have is what we want to support as a society, like your argument.

Trucks on last mile delivery are invaluable for some deliveries, as you mention, but then... why else does any other vehicle need to use most streets? Is it reasonable for someone who orders a truck to pay 33% of the cost of that truck on the road? What about 0%, or 100%? Which is best?

In cases where alternatives to trucks or cars are less costly overall in some situation, or additional efficiency can be achieved with batching, how much of that is ignored because of these accidentally created incentives? Not even mentioning the indirect cost to communities (walkability, clean air, autonomy of disabled people).

I don't have the answers, but I think these are good questions to be asking. For the specifics of policies, we need to base that on data ofc.

The problem is comparing a bunch of businesses with a model that depends on taking a loss on every transaction, even while skirting the law.

If nothing else Tesla could just become another luxury car company, and those haven’t ever been particularly price sensitive.
> Please explain to me how giving producers, traffickers and consumers of child pornography would not benefit from easy and hurdle-less end-to-end encryption.

It already exists. WhatsApp, Signal, OTR, etc. provide robust E2E encryption with a few clicks. Much of it is open source. Making it illegal only prevents law abiding citizens from using it, not criminals.
Kinda. People in the US spending that much money on a car are more likely to be buying larger utility vehicles (SUV's and CUV's).

So price does indeed become an issue because they're different buying segments. People shopping for the larger vehicles tend to be buying them because of greater usability and comfort for driver and passengers.

The Model 3 sits firmly in the compact sedan segment, something entirely different. The people buying those are either looking for pure economy while not having the issues of a used car (in which case starting price is around $20,000), or they're buying in the luxury car segment which is where the M3 is, meaning it's no different then buying an Audi A3.
Let's also talk about why LTS is a dangerous idea: It provides an excuse not to update.

Many tech debt traps start with relying on an LTS version of OS or libraries. The philosophy behin that is, that software behaves like a chair: You buy it once, and then you sit can sit on it until it is no longer needed.

A much better analogy is a horse: You need to feed and take care of it daily, and you need to be ready for it do die when you still need it.

Fair enough.

> the framework should not assume there is one best/default way

Best, probably not.

Default, I'd argue that Rust's approach of defining Display and Debug traits (interfaces) in the stdlib is reasonable. It is explicit, specific, and unambiguous. While having a trait system helps a lot, it's not hard to imagine instead of a single `ToString()` defined by Object, it has `ToDebugString()`, `ToDisplayString()`, etc..
End-to-End encryption is not about preventing "Digital surveillance" at all. Nor does it prevent Facebook from abusing your data.

The only benefit to an average user is that no Facebook employee can look at your text messages. Law enforcement agencies don't look at text messages of average users, and even in the collect-everything scenarios, they don't take notice of virtually anyone, on average.

It's really mostly the criminals that benefit disproportionally from default encryption in facebook messages.

From the perspective of US law, you might not want LEAs to read your text messages, but even if they could, they can't do anything about it even up to threatening them. Free speech in the US is pretty limitless, up to the point that such speech infringes on the rights of other people or endangers them.

Could you please help me understand how this relates to Cellio's previous concerns in October 2018 about a problem with Twitter and customer support and moderation?

Does that concern ( https://medium.com/@cellio/dear-stack-overflow-we-need-to-ta... ) have anything to do with the pronoun code of conduct problem at issue here, or is it totally unrelated other than Cellio's involvement?

I have to admit, having read Cellio's summary of the situation, I'm puzzled why "avoid using pronouns to refer to people where possible" would be a controversial view. If you use the wrong one, it may cause harm. If you use none at all, your interaction is more futureproof. For example, if I write about a person who feels comfortable being called "him" but the person later chooses to prefer being called "her", but if if I had avoided using "him" entirely in the first place, then I would never worry about having to retroactively edit or delete my writing to avoid harm.

So, you are saying that even if you do not price in any of the huge negative externalities [1], cars barely cover even just the highway and road direct budgetary impact?

I beg to differ. I actually don't mind targeted ads, but I do have a massive problem with Facebook giving that data to the government.

I don't think this even _can_ be possible for a large number of programs.

For some small number of programs it _might_ be possible, if somehow (ignoring how for now) you were exposed some standard interfaces like getopt or argparse and didn't have to care about argument ordering.

But a ton of other programs, with extremely complicated interfaces, simply wouldn't be possible. And these include commonly used programs.

Auto-completing awk would require a full language parser at the least, for example.

Another, ffmpeg, has a dizzying array of options, and the order of those options can completely change the intent of the command, and what options are allowed to follow without being ignored silently.

Even if we had perfect interface detection, we could only probably generate a subset of auto-completion options because that particular problem might not _always_ be solveable.
The current controversy with facebook does not envision making end-to-end encryption illegal, just less convenient.

And you'd be surprised how many criminals don't know the first thing about encrypted messaging...
I did take a few law courses in uni (German law, mind you), and after the first you understand enough to be able to "read the law".

In US law in not sure because they put so much weight on precedent, that it's probably mostly difficult to find out what applies.

Except the claim is for SUVs, not trucks. And even then, the suv connection is grasping at straws, the same way cell phones have been blamed for a decade. Apply the same methods to the 90s, which had more "true" SUVs (on truck frames), and it looks like SUVs save lives with the declining pedestrian deaths. Most SUVs sold today come on car frames and aren't as tall or as those were.

They even make the point in the article- that the rise in fatalities corresponds more with pedestrian safety features than anything else, but we're not blaming them.

I think defined benefit schemes will be all changed to defined contributions schemes, for this reason - people live too long. Minimum retirement age will also keep getting adjusted. Most private sector pensions in the UK are already DC schemes.

The invested savings future retirees accrue in DB plans run out before the beneficiaries are 99, and those schemes will collapse unless bailed out.

Healthcare costs will also be a huge problem with extended life spans, unless technology miraculously guarantees healthy life until death.
Ok so before today I thought the issue was gimp masks and such.

If I call you a cripple, that's an insult, if I call some software crippled, that's acceptable?

This approach comes naturally to people working with fixed-point math: Your random value is a UQ32 fixed-point fractional value, you multiply it by a UQ32.0 size resulting in a UQ32.32 value that you shift back down to UQ0. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format) ]

I wonder if the introduction of calculators into school curriculum has made people less prone to carry around rational values as intermediates. Division is a pain in the butt in mental arithmetic and it remains slow on computers (except when compilers are able to strength-reduce it away). There are a lot of nice optimizations in numerical algorithms that come from keeping denominators seperate (implicitly or explicitly).
Yeah, recently Project 0 did a few odd things... first the dramatic iPhone stunt, then more of silence post about Android kernel 0 day still today actively used to exploit Pixel phones...

Codes of conduct tend to be driven by (and serve to protect) the group's intended purpose. Gender is a big part of our language for many reasons, some better than others. We should be aware of our goals when dictating what is and isn't acceptable, especially on a technical Q&A forum like StackExchange.

Wanting to know someone's gender can be reasonable. But... on StackExchange? I can count on a single set of digits the number of times I've personally witnessed someone knowing someone else's gender leading to anything better than a neutral outcome. Doctors factor highly in that list. Then dates. Online people... well, only when it was extremely on-topic. Like a time I saw someone getting advice on 6-point racing harnesses vs. 5-point (re: strap geometry to protect the lower body).

As an example, let's take scicomp.stackexchange.com (computational science). Neither a participant's sex nor their gender is an appropriate topic there, with few exceptions. Is a reasonable policy there to avoid all gendered pronouns when referring to other users, unless there's an on-topic reason? Is using "they" or the user's handle worse than bringing gender into the conversation, when this is clearly off-topic? Monica seems to be negotiating for the option to use gender-neutral language. What are the pitfalls if we mandate it? The language can be a little awkward at first but that's a small molehill to die on.

Personally, I've always found it strange that we collectively broadcast our gender so far and wide. We don't continually mention each other's race, hair color, handedness, or preferred sleeping position on every tenth word, yet we often know someone's gender even before we know their name. Why is it so?

Thoughts? Very curious to hear from others. To be clear I have no problem with someone expressing their sexuality, gender, or other aspects of their individuality. I'm a fairly odd cat myself (particulars are irrelevant) and I relish being able to express myself authentically when it's helpful to some goal. I guess I'm mostly challenging the central role gender plays in our language, and asking whether or not we should change this to allow people more flexibility in what they disclose.
