Yeah, that's human nature. A lot of people were fairly satisfied even behind the Iron Curtain for a time before the economic dysfunction became too apparent.

Yet even then as now, we have every right to project and even attempt to impose these "western" ideals of individual human rights on systems that try to deny them from any one individual.

The only "western" thing about them is that the particular framework of discourse we currently use to describe these values was born here. Yet those values are, or should be, universal. I refuse to take any bullshit claiming otherwise from any collectivist ideology, with or without Chinese characteristics. They have no legitimacy in overriding the rights of an individual based on any braindead ideology or concept of an essence of a society or culture, historical dialectics or whatever.
The motivation is a Japanese fascination with order, perfection, and presentation... nothing to do with humidity.
They’re underinvesting in their Python story in my opinion.

To my knowledge rules_python still doesn’t support pip3 installs, and from browsing Github, Twitter, and the Bazel Slack it seems everyone is reimplementing their own package management integration because the default is so undercooked.

Right now rules_pygen is the best open source option, but it isn’t fully featured and was broken by Bazel 0.28.
Strange, we have four switches in my family and I charge them on anything from phone chargers to 12v usb-c car chargers to 65 watts lenovo laptop chargers.

I guess if there is a possibility for that it is very low or I am very lucky.

"But why male models?"
It's entirely plausible that the Hong Kong police have assembled a documented narrative of incidents of crime and abuse. The call for evidence into what might be a handful of cases isn't interesting.

What is unconvincing is that an app's potential to be used with crime is sufficient for people to understand Mr. Cook's bright-line, process, or thinking around the matter.

This app was likely being used in ways which critically supported the mitigation of risk to life, a fact which Mr. Cook described only as "benign"; the failure to discuss the balance against the app's relation to public health, and the failure to frame the nature of Hong Kong police and law, makes any attempted weighing suggested by Mr. Cook to be of low credibility as a lens into his process.

Presumably Google Maps, Search, and other apps also facilitates crime at a magnitude well beyond the app in question, but how does the weighing work?
In my experience, in a crowded single-AP situation, the most bleeding-edge grotesque looking Netgear Nighthawk you can afford will probably do better than spending the same money on SMB/Enterprise gear. Ubiquiti UAP-AC-HD / UAP-AC-SHD reportedly do well in crowded space but I've no experience with those models.

Disable 2.4GHz if you can. Use separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs to force everything 5GHz-capable to that band. Use the smallest channel width. Use the lowest transmit power and highest receive sensitivity that gets the coverage you need.
Forget proper taxes: give us a simple, coherent, 21st-century system for taxation that reasonably links what I'm paying to an actual budget, and maybe all of this class-warfare whinging on will sound less laughable.

Back to my fantasizing .
My first question is whether the "Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau" is a reliable source of information under the current circumstances. I haven't been reading all the news about the Hong Kong protests, but what I have been reading suggests that China is applying an enormous amount of pressure to halt the protests, or reduce the international visibility of what is happening in Hong Kong.

It doesn't seem to me to take much of a leap of faith to think that China is applying pressure on the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau to get this app removed.
The history of freedom of speech is rooted in western philosophy, right down to it's origins in Greek and English cultures.
We get paid not for value, but for replacement cost.

Therefore we do not get paid for productivity but for market rates. Obviously having a high value allows the company the freedom to pay us more, but all else equal the lower cost employee will should hired
Amazing that the Unix of that day ran on an 8KB (not MB, not GB), 8KB machine with just 1MB (not GB, not TB), much-slower than today's SSD's, disk.

Compare that to Linux, its most popular descendant Unix of today...

Today's Linux requires a tad more memory and disk than that... just a tad... <g>
Probably not, but general jurisdiction judges do know what excessive litigation looks like, and if you told them that PDFs are a pervasive and, presently, largely royalty-free mechanism for exchanging documents, they'll be able to predict fairly well the consequences an expansive or restrictive interpretive view might have regarding future litigation. General jurisdiction judges are so overloaded with cases that they tend to be biased against legal interpretations that might increase litigation, unless they have a strong opinion on a particular issue. And because their cases are of relatively diverse subject matter, they don't tend to become invested in the same legal nuances as IP lawyers and scholars do; they'll prefer simpler, more easily applied rules.

On the other hand, the legal and economic strain of thought I described has been growing for quite some time, especially wrt to copyright (e.g. copyrightability of the bat mobile, which seemed inevitable to me, but was clearly a break with precedent). Liberal patentability hasn't gone mainstream in the same way, if only because the specter of patent trolls is so obvious, whereas we've all become inured to the reality of perpetual copyrights and a nearly non-existent public domain.
We do a lot of the work ourselves with our own engine used for games, 3D graphics, video playback and editing tools. Targeting all desktop, mobile and console platforms.

Using c++ we have a quite minimal amount of platform specific code by making tight abstractions and trying to work on shared code as much as possible.

We use open source where possible to save time and repeated work. Using things like ImGui for Ui..

But all platform specific things we abstract ourselves (window creation, graphics apis, video decoders, input, timers, threads etc)

I have worked on proprietary game engines for over 10 years and while it may sound a lot of work to reinvent the wheel, when you know how and can do it well the end of cycle development can be a breeze when everything is bespoke to your needs...

alternatively I have worked on products using unity, qt and other frameworks and have spend months of optimisation grinding to ship..
Cisco hit by an internal network outage
I often have two editors in vertical columns side by side while I work, and it's nice to have a wider screen. Unfortunately with 16:10, they don't usually add to the vertical resolution but rather subtract from the horizontal resolution (2880x1800 16:10 versus 3200x1800 16:9).
so that not too many things get hashed to the same location. that's kind of the entire point, you want hashes to be distributed equally among the entire array to minimize collisions.
Edit: This is sadly also probably a sign that we should move on to more fertile, albeit significantly less sophisticated platforms. :/
That last sentence is a bit nonsensical. Apples and oranges. Coreboot is not a standardized interface for OS boot loaders, Coreboot is only low-level early initialization code. Coreboot loads a payload… like EDK2.
Ives was sort of a protege to Steve, but he's backing away now. I don't really know who if anyone can step up to fill this vacuum.

I keep hoping to hear about some 30-year-old up-and-comer running a company with flawless hardware, but it keeps not happening.
Would it not make more sense, in such a highly charged political environment, that Apple should tie their own hands and only remove the app at the mandate of a court order?

That would make it obvious that Apple is complying with law, and that they haven't "bowed to pressure" from either side.

If there is a claim that the app is violating law, then that should be validated by a judicial process, not by the operating nuances of a company.

If Apple are receiving reports from users that the law is being broken, they should be passing those on to law enforcement, and publicly complying with the response, not acting as their own arbitrator.
I tried before, but it was quite demotivating to go back to the same questions and still not remember the answer. I'd rather just go and do new questions instead of repeatedly failing at an old one. It's probably not a good approach but better than nothing.
It’s happened before, though of course it’d be much harder today. Interestingly, it seems like Apple keeps around a Linux devicetree for their processors, so it’s certainly not impossible…
Reminds me of the book "I Could Tell You but Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed by Me". It's all about various patches from secret projects.
I'd argue a good chunk of "Art art" is quite similar: the thing you see is quite unimpressive and really only considered important because of context.
I'm not intimate enough with any of the parties involved in this situation, so my reply will also be comfortably generic:

Yes, it's a reasonable demand. If public opinion is asking something of Apple, and its CEO chooses to answer, every aspect of the answer is open to scrutiny. Gruber indeed lists the specific evidence he would expect:

> - When was HKmap.live “used maliciously to target individual officers for violence”?

> - When was it used to “victimize individuals and property where no police are present”?

> - What local laws in Hong Kong does it violate?

It's unlikely that a CEO would be so thorough. Apple is particularly obsessed with secrecy, and tech companies in general seem to not want to disclose details when they restrict access to a product or platform.

But it's still a reasonable demand from an individual standpoint.
they're limited by a 4G connection

Are they?

- they could store data to be collected in bulk when the car is in the garage for maintenance or servicing or repair.

- Superchargers could include fast data transfer in their cable for cars using them.

- Superchargers could include a wireless data collection from cars sopped at or near them.

- Cars could connect to public wifi to upload data at any car park, any place, any time.

- Tesla could have vehicles driving around, like Google mapping cars, collecting data wirelessly from nearby Teslas.

I don't know if they do any of them, but none are unreasonable things for companies of 2019 to think about doing.
I always wondered, could this w3w geocoding method be done not completely random, but in such a way, that each subsequent word would narrow down the area? So one can easily understand that places like lake.cotton.juice and lake.cotton.horse are really near each other, and if their first word is there same they are at least on the same continent?
For better or worse, there's no scarcity in software. And thus, “we hackers do for love what others wouldn't do for money.”
What an incredibly weak argument. Android absolutely destroys iOS in market share, it's not even a comparison. That's why it's targeted by malware writers. That doesn't mean it's any less secure than iOS. You have to try very hard to infect your phone.

I'd pick being able to run whatever I want over Apples choice of apps any day.
Good question, especially any kind of visual sensor
I'm glad things are working great for the author, but for me USB-C is still a dumpster fire. When locked and plugged into its USB-C docking station, my MacBook Pro kernel panics multiple times per day. Since my current workplace has very strict rules about never leaving unattended computers unlocked, every trip to the bathroom is a 1-in-4 chance I'll have to watch my Mac reboot when I get back, unless I want to unplug it and lose all my window positions.

It's mind-boggling how the entire industry fucked this up so badly.
Either that or the code you developed for the Linux kernel is so special no one else wants it and you can't get it merged.

I've seen this happen with Linux kernel stuff as well as other OSS projects.

Most people can tell proximity in lat/lon coordinates based on the algorithm they learned in first grade: the number line. Perhaps they could use a similarly ubiquitous system, like the alphabet. There’s even a song to help you memorize it!
Python support is very much alpha. We use rules_python and the “reported workarounds” include forking rules_python, reimplementing a Bazel pip package manager integration, and adding a few twists to your Python codebase to handle Bazel idiosyncrasies.

It’s dozens of hours of work, and even then you quite easily can find yourself not enjoying Bazel’s caching features because of pip wheel being non-deterministic. It’s been a hard road.
Right, but it will be several generations before that even becomes a possibility. Right now you have the famine generation who remembers how terrible things used to be, and will be content as long as things are and continue to improve.

That is killer. I grew up around so much of that cool stuff you talk about – especially the coffee mugs. So many mugs I wish hadn’t hit the floor or lost their logo.
This is exactly what authoritarian governments do. They muddy the truth and make official and important sounding institutions make official statements that paint a situation in exactly they need it to be to further their own goals. I don’t understand how anybody can trust any information that comes out of the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau when the whole issue is that the HK government is no longer independent.

And beyond the actions of the Chinese government, corporations like Apple have no integrity upon which to base trust for them anymore. They need to cough up real proof instead some canned response that basically tells us to trust them on blind faith alone.
It's abstract advice, not generic advice. You don't understand what is being said unless you can instantiate it in concrete situations.
This is where the comment goes into “my opinion is fact and dissenting opinions are wrong.” There are millions of Apple customers who get their preferred OS by buying hardware directly from the OS developer. This has been a viable business model for Apple for long enough to just laugh at that sentence. Hating Apple is an identity, like a political party, and some are too invested for their ego to allow for simple factual observations.
I don't know what the takedown notice said in this case, but they've specifically cited copying the word list in previous cases:

Multiply RAX, CONST1 / bswap RAX / XOR RAX, CONST2 / Multiply RAX, CONST3.

12 cycles of latency. CONST1 and CONST3 must be odd (bottom bit is 1). Pick CONST1, CONST2, and CONST3 out of /dev/urandom.

--------

BTW: This is exactly why latency didn't matter, because the 12-cycles of latency here are basically independent between loops. The next loop iteration would cut-the-dependency on RAX, allowing the next loop iteration's "RAX" to get a new register and execute independently.

--------

AESEnc is a good baseline, but you need 2 or 3 iterations of it to work well. AESEnc also works on 128-bit vector registers, but most people want something that works on the 64-bit registers.

If your data was already in XMM registers, AESEnc / AESDec will be great. Otherwise, 64-bit multiply is really good at shuffling those bits around. Take RAX (64-bit result), EAX (32-bit result), AX (16-bit result), or AL (8-bit result) as needed.
Might be that they are feeling pressure in the environment making them more aggressive for whatever is remaining of their habitat. Also, a shrinking ice habitat will make it more probable that they will cross paths. This are just thoughts, not an expert.
I don’t think anyone’s tried it, because it was certainly not allowed a couple of years ago. But the language that the FSF used to point to is no longer there, so I’d like to hope that it might be possible today.
What both ways? Freedom of speech and speak out of belief is core to humanity for quite some times now. Money not an excuse to violate it.
I suspect they are much smarter than we give them credit for.

It is also why I feel commercial whaling (or in Japan's case "scientific research") is such a horrific thing to do.
Yes every manufactured product will have its percentage of issues. I think it is how you handle the failures and the customers that will be important moving forward.

I can not speak to the original quote but my experience as not been amazing. My 4k Oryx Pro has rebooted randomly since the second month I have owned it. I sent it back 3 times already, ran tests per support and even reinstalled PopOs many times. It still has randomly rebooted. My last interaction with support was just past the year mark of when I bought it and I was asked to pay to replace the last item (the battery, just about everything else was replaced).

I love using PopOs. I love the 4k screen I have and the Oryx. I dont love writing this or the response I sent to support about the request for paying for it. It gives me pause when recommending System76 to a coworker/friend and I will be looking around when when the time comes to get a new laptop. Support was helpful when I had a linux issue early on but the rest of year long interaction was about the reboots.
The Pop page on system76.com is just bizarre. It leads with things that are really niche interests and you have to scroll way down to get to what the desktop looks like.

My 30 second impression is "this is for children who want to program toy robot kits."

I am posting this criticism in the hopes that it's constructive, since I do like what system76 is doing. I use a Mac right now but I'd consider their laptops as one of the first possibilities if I ever abandoned the Mac platform.
Hi :)

As few people already pointed out, it would be nice to see some laptops with AMD CPUs.

If you think it's still strong enough to affect brain function, I don't really see how the power being "pretty low" really makes things less scary. I mean, I guess you won't get electrocuted but messing up your brain is messing up your brain, regardless of how much power you used to do it.

The issue with it is that Sun's writings are not used as guidance for war, it's used as guidance for X. There X is random action you're engaged in. If it was used as guidance for war, it would be popular in military circles, whereas I see it popular in entrepreneurial circles.
They were telling people that at the beginning of the civil war. Houston and Sherman were laughed at for thinking otherwise. This was also the thinking before each of the world wars and Vietnam.

You would think people would be educated enough to see through that bullshit on its face regardless of what politicians say. I don’t have any sympathy for people lacking this ultra basic level of education.
I’m not trying to guilt-trip you or anything... I really like the idea of having non-monoculture machines and I’ve always been a sucker for unusual hardware (NeXT, BeBox, IBM RS/6000, dual Pentium machines to name but a few)... but if the one prominent story I find online is about a poor guy who is left to cry his eyes out regretting his courageous and expensive decision while the company that supplied him is apparently indifferent (this was before the happy if belated epilogue) it’s just an instant turn-off as far as I’m concerned. You’re producing something unusual and new, and users take a risk and pay far above market prices for the privilege to be on the bleeding edge... the least one can expect is competent and timely technical support. This poor guy went through “please reinstall your OS”-level indifference for months. That’s not the way one builds confidence. And yeah, I’m glad you’ve revised your policies, but in my particular case it came too late. This guy bought a Ferrari-analogue and got a Trabant with Lada-level tech support. He’s been pretty polite in writing up a follow-up detailing your company’s long-overdue resolution of his issues. I doubt he’s asked you to refund you the months of lost productivity and the time he spent essentially volunteering his time to serve as a free engineering consultant. That’s just not good enough. Somebody should’ve swooped in before this poor guy became so frustrated he wrote it up and submitted it to HackerNews.

No DRM, full-ownership computing is great, and the performance is literally astounding (particularly for our use-case), but at the time the decision was made, based on the evidence I had, the decision was clear. I do not regret deciding not to buy your product because based on the data available to me at the time as far as I knew I would’ve been alone and/or I would have spent a fortune sending faulty items back-and-forth through customs, paying import duty each time.

Whoever decided not to be proactive in this guy’s case procured your firm a sizeable amount of bad publicity.

Not to mention that the team I am part of would’ve probably, as a side-effect of the proprietary software we are developing, also contributed various patches and so forth to various parts of the underlying open-source stack.
Its a pretty technical post, I'm guessing its intended audience knows what the BPF is?
That's indeed a layman explanation of the mainstream theory.

From what I understand of this theory (not a physicist), particle are not small atomic objects but they're not waves either. Nobody can describe what they are otherwise than by mathematic equations describing their interaction. Some of these equations describe some aspects of reality accurately if you think of particles as objects, some others describe some other aspects of reality well if you think of particles as wave. Doesn't mean that particles are either, they just behave like one or the other depending what you're studying

It is depressing, but I'll tell you which of those options is actually actively interested in developers and enthusiasts: Linux. Give it the effort that people spend buying exactly the hardware Apple says to buy and then installing (or writing) apps that fix MacOS's clunky window management - and Homebrew, for that matter; consider where it's going as well as where it is; and I think you'll find something for you.
