You forgot one which is to tell what it is. I don't know how many project pages I've seen that don't tell you what it does or even give a good hint. Even after reading several pages into the documentation. It sends the message that it's only for people in the know and others are not welcome without becoming an expert in the code.

Not sure I totally agree that this achieves those goals, but I can't argue they would be ideal goals.

>interactive

AFAIK, as you type python code it will execute with the changes incorporated in the next loop execution. That's a heavily constraint "interactive" (forward propagating changes against an active execution). I mean, wouldn't a python shell with shell history be more interactive and hit all your goals? Sure the advantage of this is you can change code based on output feedback, but if you are too slow, you have to backtrack, and if you are too fast, you just wait anyways in both cases. And if you want to add code to earlier loop executions, you are kaput for earlier loop executions since those are set in stone against a different version of the code?

> reproducible

How can you get this, i.e. reproduce any loop changes outside of IDE/editor code undo/redo stack. It's hiding all the magic of what code outputted what with the "reloading" function.

> recordable, replayable

This moves the "history" to the IDE/editor code undo/redo stack. I think this is worse, cause, what happens when you close the IDE/editor without recording which specific console output was for which version of the code?

My main gripe is this sentence in the README:

> This lets you e.g. add logging, print statistics or save the model without restarting the training and, therefore, without losing the training progress.

If the italicised is the prime concern, and the purpose of this is to solve that, I'm just saying PyTorch already lets you save/persist training data, maybe the author didn't know about it + python shell combo?

I'm not sure that actually holds, or at least we would need to split up the games industry to see how it applies. If we're talking about games specifically designed for long-term play and ongoing updates (Dota 2, CS:Go, Fortnite, etc.) then yes I agree. If we're talking about your standard AAA releases likes CoD: whatever or most indie games, it's generally a "get it out the damn door" situation because the sales graph is extremely downward sloping over time.

There's also a bias in here because if you're using "old" games like AoE II as examples, they were released back in the day before patches were really an accepted thing, so there was a lot more effort that went into solidifying a game before it went gold than there is today.

People really have an unhealthy fascination with SIGINT. It's really not the disproportionate threat people think it is, or should be most concerned with.
Tools such as encryption, privacy-focused messaging mediums, VPNs, etc might serve to complicate an investigation by local law-enforcement agencies, but will not be able to defend against a more sophisticated targeted attack. While absolutely best practice, this is analogous to using an armored car to deliver messages from someone living on a park bench to someone living in a cardboard box.
I absolutely agree with the use of these tools, as long as you know their limitations and the threat profile they're targeted against. A messaging medium that does not store chat history will absolutely aid you in the event that your phone/computer is seized by law-enforcement to be forensically examined. However, the biggest problem is the endpoints. Using a zero-day/backdoor to root a device on the end of the messaging chain is orders of magnitude easier than trying to break encryption. Why bother using all that computing power when you can just use a rootkit to read the screen buffer in real-time?
You might be using all the best encryption tools, etc... but if SIGINT is really what you're concerned about then you'd be best off treating your PC/Phone as being the chief vulnerability.
Oh yeah, but heads did roll for that clusterfuck. And unlike most problems in Germany this one isn't just restricted to the Conservatives, literally everyone had their fair share of contributing to it.

What are your thoughts on how well these kinds of tools generate html? Brings me back to Dreamweaver.
Some additions I personally use:

- Change: change functionality or behavior.

- Cleanup: more than formatting, less than refactoring. No functional changes.

- Rename: refactoring that changes a name but does nothing else.

- Extract: refactoring that creates a new module or class by moving code out of an existing module or class.
> X declares war on Y. [...]

> Are they at war?

Yes. Moreover, it doesn't matter, as no one declares war before initiating hostilities anymore; since aggression has been uniformly understood to be a crime, the only legitimate reason for waging war is is immediate, including imminent, national or collective self-defense (including, in the latter, implementation of UNSC resolutions pertaining to maintenance of peace and security), which requires claiming that the other side has already initiated war, which makes declarations superfluous. For domestic purposes, in the US, Congress will sometimes issue what is legally, though not formally labelled, a conditional declaration of war conditioned on executive determinations, but those conditions tend to be an executive determination that conditions which include (among more specific findings) a violation of UNSC conditions or acts of aggression against the US.

if the product is wildly successful and has a future, but is a bit of maintenance nightmare: congratulations, that's the problem you want to have

Excerpt:

"Researchers have long predicted the demise of the operating system [21, 26, 41]. As datacenter servers increasingly incorporate I/O devices that let applications bypass the OS kernel (e.g., RDMA [12] and DPDK [15] network devices or SPDK storage devices), this prediction may finally come true. While kernel-bypass devices do eliminate the OS kernel from the I/O path, they do not handle the kernel’s most important job:
offering higher-level abstractions. This paper argues for a new high-level, device-agnostic I/O abstraction for kernel-bypass devices. We propose the Demikernel, a new library OS architecture for kernel-bypass devices."

That's the WHY of the Demikernel...

The legal definition of culpable negligence is actually pretty straightforward.

Back in the early days, the printed manuals for Research Unix and BSD consisted of two volumes. Volume 1 was the reference and consisted of all the man pages for every command (section 1), system call (section 2), library function (section 3), etc. Volume 2 contained longer documents - what this article calls tutorials, how-tos, and explanations.

The man command let you read all the pages in volume 1. Volume 2 only existed in print, with the troff source in /usr/doc but no obvious way to find it if you didn't know where to look. So naturally volume 2 fell by the wayside. When I was learning Unix in the late '90s and early '00s I had no idea there was supposed to be "official" documentation besides man pages, and filled in the gaps with random web tutorials and borrowed O'Reilly books and other "unofficial" sources.

Nowadays some "Unix purists" are insisting that man pages are all the documentation you could ever possibly need, and if the man page is too long that means the software is too bloated. I find that attitude to be ahistorical. Like anyone's going to learn to effectively use troff and eqn from a cut-and-dried syntax description.

(I could ramble a bit about the other documentation formats that have sprung up to replace troff and how, nice as they can be, they don't replace the convenience of manpages, but this comment is long enough.)
This is how Apple does it:

The fingerprint sensor is active only when the capacitive steel ring that surrounds the Home button detects the touch of a finger, which triggers the advanced imaging array to scan the finger and send the scan to the Secure Enclave. Communication between the processor and the Touch ID sensor takes place over a serial peripheral interface bus. The processor forwards the data to the Secure Enclave but can’t read it. It’s encrypted and authenticated with a session key that is negotiated using a shared key provisioned for each Touch ID sensor and its corresponding Secure Enclave at the factory. The shared key is strong, random, and different for every Touch ID sensor. The session key exchange uses AES key wrapping with both sides providing a random key that establishes the session key and uses AES-CCM transport encryption.

The raster scan is temporarily stored in encrypted memory within the Secure Enclave while being vectorized for analysis, and then it’s discarded. The analysis utilizes sub dermal ridge flow angle mapping, which is a lossy process that discards minutia data that would be required to reconstruct the user’s actual fingerprint. The resulting map of nodes is stored without any identity information in an encrypted format that can only be read by the Secure Enclave. This data never leaves the device. It isn’t sent to Apple, nor is it included in device backups.

Around 100$

Which is fine. The value of a perfect condition pixel 2 is around 150 $ IIRC

Which is not very high .. BUT you can get a pretty nice first hand phone at this price. So I can understand why its value is way below what I bought it for and tbh I am kind of amazed at the technological marvel that even the shittiest smartphone on earth is.

I have marked the phone as "turns on, screen cracked". Which is accurate. The screen is VERY cracked but if you repair it, you have a perfectly working phone.

Repairing this screen would indeed cost me 150-200 $ .. So far I have decided that it is not worth it.

The act itself is tedious, if that's all you focus on. Spending time together, enjoying the small little games we play, and the touches on the arm and dumb jokes that happen while we're doing something tedious, are some of the best memories. When you focus on the nothing that's happening, it's tedium. When you focus on everything around it and the break from the chaos of the rest of your day, it's still tedious, but it's also peaceful.
People all over the world are mentioning his name right now, discussing his life and achievements, after his death. For many people lasting notoriety and posterity is a very large motivating factor behind their pursuits. If this is true of Hurd, then he has succeeded.
I think the reasonable way to do this prior to an onsite interview is by having two different phone screens, first one with the recruiter, second one more technical or with the hiring manager. They can then compare notes and see if the candidate checks all the requisite boxes from a social/professional interaction viewpoint.

The issue with nonsargable expressions is not that you can’t create an index that contains what would be the output of that expression. It’s that you are forced to do a row-by-row evaluation of each record in order to even utilize the corresponding index to do a seek/scan against. You basically force a scan of the smallest available index. And there are tons of commonly used , nonsargable expressions. Implicit conversions, string parsing, date parsing, isnull/coalesce.

I'm not saying that browser extensions don't present risks of data privacy violations, they clearly do and you should only use extensions from companies that you are willing to trust with this level of access.

What I am saying is that these risks ALREADY exist with browser extensions and facebook and providing an API to allow alternative clients for accessing facebook would be an analogous type risk and security expectations. (Although I would argue that an API could be lower risk if you can grant the API key for your client a specific set of permissions.)

My point is: A site where you use facebook SSO carries a very different type of risk and set of privacy expectations than a client that you use to login to facebook.

I have the same thoughts on Gilgamesh as I do on Shakespeare's works: don't read them, experience them.

With Shakespeare's works, they are plays. They are meant to be experienced in a playhouse, not read by high school students stumbling over the language. The beauty is in witnessing the interactions of the characters on stage, the patterns of their speech, the tone of the jokes, etc. that just don't really come across when you read the words on a page. Reading Shakespeare is kind of a disservice to the material.

Similarly, Gilgamesh is part of an ancient oral tradition of storytelling and was meant to be told by actual storytellers, in language that would resonate with the listeners. Trying to read it today is kind of a perversion of the original intent. I'd love to listen to a modern translation actually told by a good storyteller - basically the way it was meant to be experienced.
> or they'll adopt a common blacklist, thus re-centralizing

You say this like it's a bad thing. A centralized list that's communally owned is a lot more like democracy than a private list that's got "AI/magic" sorting that's intended to raise profits at the expense of society.

In fact, government could get involved in legislating not the list, but common sense baselines on how such lists should be administered - setting the groundrules so to speak (mainly to prevent fraud/abuse).
