How to Setup a Python Environment for Data Science or Anything Else
Your post doesn't address the point that many of these "write a new operating system in my favorite language X" projects have great pedagogical value to the individual developing them. I've done plenty of experimentation in this area and I harbor no illusions that my efforts will ever be adopted into the mainstream. Operating-system development is an extremely broad and deep area of study. Writing toy operating-systems remains the best and most fulfilling way to learn.

While I can't speak for D, Rust, etc, I can speak for what Ada can offer the field. Ada, and especially its formally verifiable subset SPARK are languages designed with secure and maintainable development in mind. I think there's tremendous value in continuing research into the formal verification of operating-systems. SPARK is a much better option for this purpose than many of the other languages available.
"Huge part"? "You knew"? "99%"?

Got any citations number on those observed numbers and any basis to claim it was EU that did it? Or is this just you deciding that EU is bad and then fitting things to your view?
You're right its my job to find solution to problems.

I meant to say 'Just Ask' and 'Problems to solve are easiest to find in the world' are very misleading things for a beginner.

Just asking won't lead you to a solution and identifying solvable problems are incredibly hard.
And where is it headed?
Would you mind sharing the service?
It's ok to edit posts on this site; you don't have to mention your edit.
How did you get around the permission to use the microphone restriction? And if it is in use the status bar turns red on iOS.
"Vertical nystagmus". Which is all well and good, but many people have that entirely apropos of alcohol consumption.
Do you have any source on this "most startup" thing? Because my experience in Vienna did not fit that bill and I wonder if you have actual numbers you've checked.
That sounds like yet another field sobriety test which will correlate imperfectly with driving ability.
The missing data in the article that has many graphs is how often did the records truly change
Mine (same arch kernel) is twice the size, both compressed and uncompressed, for what it's worth; I have a handful of vfio modules included explicitly, as well as amdgpu; so it's still doable. My fallback initramfs is a little over 128MiB compressed.
It is not a technical problem, it is a social problem first and foremost.
> My point is - exposing db over HTTP (REST, GraphQL, ...) is bad architectural design and idea.

I'm with you that exposing a fairly free-form query language over HTTP seems like something that's gonna bite several someones in the ass pretty hard at some point (GraphQL) but what's that got to do with PostgREST?
I have been using Mullvad[1] for a year or so now and am really happy with the extent they go to avoid storing payment information. One of the things that caught my eye about them initially is that you could literally mail them an envelop containing your account number and $5 cash and they will add that time to your account, which seems to solve what it was you were asking about (although I am sure physically mailing something comes with it's own issues of privacy).

I am aware of that but I thought that this approach would effectively prevent sharing pooled connections between different users. But taffer says otherwise, so that solves the problem I was wondering about.
I've heard of people using Unity for cross-platform apps, and it seems absolutely crazy to me. I mean, if they have some really clever modularization which would allow you to skip shipping all the "game engine" components then maybe this would make sense, but if people don't like shipping electron apps because of how heavy Chromium is, then shipping a physics engine and a PBR renderer inside your "ToDo" list app seems absolutely bonkers.
This is not a moral statement, it's a matter of physical difficulty:

If you have 4 siblings, supporting your ageing parents is quite easy

If you are a single child, supporting two ageing parents can be challenging

If you alone had to support 4 ageing people (like someone who decided not to have kids), while also having to meet your work commitments, that would probably be very difficult.
A New Era in Tech Nationalism
You know HPV is what gives you genital warts, right? I'm going to assume you're male for a moment – imagine if you developed genital warts, and then found out it could have been prevented if you had gotten the HPV vaccine when you were 9. Wouldn't that motivate you to make sure the next generation of youth doesn't have to go through the same experience?
Does anyone know of a tool like pdf-tools but for annotating epub?

Ideally I have an epub that I read on my kobo ereader. Afterwards I have a number of annotations (highlights) that I have listed in plain text.

I would like to be have the epub and the highlights side by side and be able to snap directly to the highlights position within the epub in order to take further notes.
They seem to imply so:

> However, some adults age 27 through 45 years who are not already vaccinated may decide to get HPV vaccine after speaking with their doctor about their risk for new HPV infections and the possible benefits of vaccination. HPV vaccination in this age range provides less benefit, as more people have already been exposed to HPV.
Far more problematic long term, to me, was her (and Facebook's) role in making sure FOSTA/SESTA happened.
I'm wondering what it would take to make a DNS caching service with updates based on reliable notifications rather than polling? After all, every cellphone does it.

> I just don't get it.

I think someone's simply looking at the first-order consequences and calling the analysis done, rather than taking into account the sort of company that enacting the policy will result in.
We're in an odd state of paralysis as a society. On the one hand, we acknowledge that there are birth rate / population-related issues coming rapidly down the pipeline at us, problems we acknowledge can only be solved by either supporting existing citizens/families in having more children or mass migration.

Through exhaustion with unaccountable corruption and reckless, ineffective public spending by all parties on the political spectrum, our societies won't support any social move (more taxes, better laws) in the name of the former, whilst being by-and-large in opposition of the latter.

Neither of the above will help in themselves though without a drastic change in the pressures requiring dual income families for mere survival, convergence in the metropolis for work, stagnant income growth coupled with soaring costs, especially around child rearing and education, and the modern narrative toward women (largely by other women) that they're nothing unless they're building a meaningful career for themselves.

While the rest of the Western World is by no means perfect and is still suffering declining birth rates due to some of the factors listed above, America's approach and policies toward social well-being - financial and moral support for maternity leave, general time off work and compassion for the sick - is utterly reprehensible. It is the most prosperous, wealthy nation on the planet and seems to be content to resign itself to a society benefiting a very small handful of people at a massive social, financial, economical and physical cost to everyone else.

A mere 8 weeks leave for going through pregnancy and bringing a child - that which we depend on for future taxes, productivity, volunteer work, philanthropy, innovation and social policy - into the world and then 2 weeks being cut in the name of money because that child died? How can anyone who supports or justifies this look at themselves in the mirror in the morning?

If you deem your country / nation / peoples to be important and worthwhile, its future to be crucial and investment in that future to be a necessity but support these policies then you're either a monster or an utter moron.
That’s a step in the right direction but I’m not sure if it really solves the problem.

But as I said, there are trade offs. I didn’t say it’s always a bad idea.
Control Store
Maybe like C's `include`s? Where (I think) the code is in-lined without modification?

The include is immutable (unless there are macros).

Append only sounds like the included code should be evaluated after other code in a given file (so main defs would take precedent over included defs? Or main defs would be over-written by included defs... I guess it depends on compiler/evaluator implementation.

The more I type here, the more I realize how much I don't know about this stuff...
That is a confusion if shared words being assumes in the same meaning. Data protection is fundamentally nothing like car or food safety. The other two can literally directly kill you. Data also acts "at a distance". If I smash a cooy of your car or poison a copy of your lunch it won't harm you in any way. Not so if sensitive information leaks.

Not to mention the abuse potential is fundamentally massively different. It isn't apples to oranges but apples to formica countertops
Some users on Stack Exchange/Stack Overflow saw that ads were messing with audio APIs and thought the ads were trying to play audio. It turns out the ads were actually doing audio fingerprinting.

Why End-to-End Encryption, Not Just “Encryption”
This is interesting. I've been using https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook since firefox changed their addons. It also saves web pages in a zip file but names them with a .htz extension.

I saved this page with both webscrapbook and singlefilez. Both archives looked the same. Webscrapbook's was 22.4kb while singlefilez was 65.9kb. I unzipped singlefilez and rezipped it with higher compression and got it to 20kb but it wouldn't open in the browser.

While the size doesn't really matter, what I don't like is that singlefilez renamed the images to sequentially numbered files (1.gif, 2.giff, etc.) and css to stylesheet_0.css while webscrapbook kept the original names of the files. I would much rather it kept the original file names.
I used to save a lot of things for offline reading in mhtml years ago when I was on dial up, I remember this fondly.
I don't quite understand how this attack works.

They are constructing a simple audio synthesis graph and rendering it for a few seconds.

But since all the audio processing happens in the browser, without OS involvement, how can the fingerprints be different between say 64 bit Firefox browsers running on 64 bit Windows?

I can understand differences between different browser binaries, since optimizations can slightly change the output due to floating point order of operation, but can a particular browser binary generate different fingerprints?
I wrote a small JS "framework" that's not even worth that name, but which works well enough by decoupling components CSP style. The HTML rendering part was not the most complex piece in the system (it was webaudio code, wasm, etc. dominated) to warrant dependency on a language so the additional complexity wasn't worth it.

Elm-anima - yes I felt that the elm-anima approach worked fine conceptually and is fairly performant too with scope to inject caching and laziness, but its approach ran into 0.18 's subscription mechanism (it was done before subscriptions) and I couldn't wrap my head around the loss of control there for this purpose. Things didn't compose after that.

Edit: elm-anima also needs more work to support effects, without burdening the API too much, to be truly useful.

Personally, I'd have liked the whole program in Elm to be modeled as just an "Automaton Input (Html, Task x ())" or something. That would've given enough freedom to do these kinds of things and, with some effort, be performant too.
Oh that's very interesting indeed! I thought each open connection remained linked to exactly one authenticated user account until it is closed.
That's all well and good, but it's also a complete diversion from the original "not much goods or services that you can store for more than a year" point. If I wanted to get into a more general discussion of the efficient market hypothesis, I wouldn't do it on HN.

Maybe because of population growth. Food and car failure is directly linked to mass deaths and diseases, potentially decreasing the population, free data flow is linked to better business decisions, and therefore wealth for starting families, potentially increasing the population.

So if population growth is your priority as nation, it could make sense to allow free data flow if you ignore potential long term side effects that could counter this.

The downsides of free data flow and the permanence of personal data are mostly affecting the mental health of people which could result in more deaths from drug abuse and other self destructive behaviors, or even civil wars long term.

This of course could contradict free data flow as a viable strategy for long term population growth.

A battle between short and long term politics, with long term politics being clearly at a disadvantage because they're less obvious and harder to predict/measure, and harder to sell in political campaigns.

If you are any good you can afford food taster who work for you and die if the food was not good. If you are not good enough and are forced to work as a food taster, bad for you, but that's just survival of the fittest and will eventually make the human race stronger.
I don't think they meant to authoritative servers.
The title got me briefly excited, but it's a disappointing article. It's nothing more than an "artist's design concept": you will find dozens of them in any undergrad industrial design department.
It happens pretty frequently. See any thread where any publicly listed company is involved.
MISRA C definitely makes many improvements in this area. However, writing decent Ada code is so much easier than writing C code that conforms to MISRA ( or JSF ) standards.

There's a pretty good comparison here:

I can't find any announcements about it, but you can try it out: open a PR based on master, then push a separate commit (or merge a different PR) to master and return to your original PR. If you scroll down, there will be a box saying the base branch is out of date and a button asking to resync with master. If you click it, they will merge the master branch into your PR.

I'm not sure if there are specific settings required for this to work. For example, we have the master branch protected and require the status checks to pass and the PR to be up to date before it can be merged.
People having "nothing to do" is a self-inflicted problem of modern societies. There's plenty of stuff to do, all over the place. Just because it might not meet some wholly-arbitrary standard of a 'living', 'sustainable' level of productivity doesn't mean it's "make-work".
It seems very clear to the man on the street, the fights are getting more fierce. Assets prices increase and the bottom 80% are getting squeezed out of many things, slowly but surely: education, housing and with that also out of participation in society.

There is literally nothing, that hints at progress at this point: Tech and internet will has turned into permanent surveillance, the home surveillance is rolled out, the internet of things and workspace will be next, allowing for google analytics on labor.

And if workers complain too much, increase investments in software and data tools and replace a bunch of wet ware with some tool; heck, half of the "knowledge workers" today might be obsolete already.

The average person won't have much to laugh for the next few decades. We live in a sad time, where the most miraculous things man can create (machines that "think") will be the prime weapons of the owners against the non-owners. I fear this will be a costly battle.
It appears this is written entirely in Japanese, or some other similar language.

Does anyone have a good translation of it into English? I’m not sure I want to trust how Google might mangle thus page.
Competition goes both ways: employers that offer better benefits will attract more applicants, so they can higher higher quality employees.
I challenge the notion that there was ever a time in history in which there was more equality between every segment of society in America than there is now. Can you name a single time? If there was once a time when white men were more circumstantially equal, then the distance in circumstances between men and women was further apart, or even further apart between whites and minorities.

I can’t think of a time in world history when some group of people wasn’t getting preferential treatment and some other group was getting the proverbial shaft.
I would never want to be tried by a jury.

You really want your future to be decided by a group of people that are going to make preconceived judgements about you based on your facial hair and skin color?

Who are probably going to go home and watch The Real Housewives when the trial is over?

People whose conception of reality comes primarily from the tv shows they watch?

Nothanks.
"The urban legend that DNS-based load balancing depends on TTLs (it doesn’t)"

So whats the solution? We are using AWS ALB/ELB and it states in docs, that we should have low TTL, and it makes sense. Servers behind LB scale up and down. What is the option B?
Technically, "oligarchy" means rule by the few (hoi oligoi). The alternative is rule of the many (hoi polloi), also called "democracy."

The distinction goes back to at least the Golden Age of Athens, in the 5th Century B.C. The Greek world was divided between cities ruled by the many and by the few, and every city had an internal struggle between elements favoring one or the other form of rule. If you favored democracy, you turned to Athens for help. Hoi oligoi turned to Sparta for help. It's a bit like the Cold War, with two superpowers with different ideologies vying for favor among the undecided states, and promoting internal factions favorable to one side or the other.
Capital being slightly more expensive for individuals worth $50M or more, is a far cry from "capital is more expensive." Capital being cheaper for the 99.9% of people at the bottom than it is for the 0.01% at the top actually seems like a good thing.
Gardasil is described as a prophylactic vaccine, rather than therapeutic, so no- it sounds like you would have to be vaccinated prior to infection in order for it to be effective. However, it sounds like there are therapeutic vaccines in development [0, 1].

Structural separation: you can't run a search engine and at the same time services that are the subject of it. For Amazon, you can't run the marketplace and at the same time sell own-brand (AmazonBasics) products. For Apple you can't run the app store and also sell apps.

It's in Warren's program, although of course the devil is in the details. Lina Khan is the thought leader on these issues (I am sure there are others, but like Hal Varian and Carl Shapiro, they tend to get coopted by the monopolists).
The United States is infamous among world nations for lack of mandatory paid maternity leave. Even the unpaid leave is incredibly short: Only 12 weeks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternity_leave_in_the_United_...

This, while the total _paid_ leave available to mothers among OECD nations is ~54 weeks, including 18 weeks average paid maternity leave plus another long period of paid parental leave following it:

No. I'm very familiar with the preparedness community and while your proposal has value it's going to be tricky to market to a a demographic of self-starters. I think you'd have better luck selling curated 'go bags' for different use cases than with a subscription model.
The author says low TTLs are bad because of latency but never attempts to quantify how much latency we are actually talking about. Its hard to know how outraged I'm supposed to be without actually seeing the numbers.

It seems that a lot of sites are ok with slightly higher latencies if it means greater operational flexibility.
> The doodles are typically topical...visuals of what's being said in the room

Same - I'm an INSANELY visual person and I draw tons of flowcharts, tables, charts, etc. to represent notes vs. how other people go about it. I usually end up with 25-35% of my notes being visual.

It's the same as someone bouncing their leg or needing to move while learning, our brains work in different ways and I've learned to "go along for the ride" and utilize it vs. fighting it.

I have found however that in highly corporate environments it is very unwelcome. I've also had a problem with very detailed note taking (ie: writing down/typing what someone said verbatim). People can get unhappy if you can recite the entirety of a meeting back to them from 3-4 pages of your Moleskine notebook complete with diagrams of the whiteboards. For me it's about collecting a solid/defensible spec as an engineer, for them it's unwelcome managerial accountability.
We've got three kids in the US, they all started daycare when they were 6-8 weeks old so we could return to work. I don't think there was serious physical recovery still happening then (they were uncomplicated births), but the sleep deprivation is very rough.
Financial products exist only in databases and they can't kill you, yet they're heavily regulated for good reason.

India is 52% arable land, Japan is 11%, South Korea is 22%. So Japan and South Korea have far less arable land per person.
What would be the best response to that? Both "I cannot do that sober" and "I cannot do that drunk" sounds incriminating enough.
I think another question is private high school vs public.

You’re totally right.

I meant socialist in the same way that Bernie Sanders seems to use it, which I have trouble distinguishing from Warren’s states policies. (I do agree that the traditional definition of word applies to neither Warren’s or Sanders’ policies for the most part. Except for the health insurance industry, where the proposal is nationalization.)

I should have said social democrat. Indeed, now that I think about it, few engineers would label themselves socialist. I don’t, though I am a Warren/Sanders supporter.
