I would assume that they setup shop prior to hunting and it was a whole group/village affair to process and preserve the meat. When I grew up we would hunt and process all the deer killed together as a family. I started around 6yrs old, my duties were removing the "silver skin" with a fillet knife and doing any other menial task like manually cranking the meat grinder. Everyone had tasks, and it was a pretty great family/bonding experience with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was the same for all the other food we would harvest and preserve. I miss those times.

Small-scale spoofing, a/k/a pseudonymous / anonymous whistleblowing or commentary, can be useful, and has a very well-established tradition.

The goal of, effectively, all robocalls is fraud or value-extraction from the system. It works only because of the scale possible.

Small-scale operators (unless hugely and widely distributed) don't exhibit these characteristics. A fundamental problem of robocalls is the scale of operation itself.

Scale matters.

Countermeasures which disrupt at-scale operation whilst protecting small-scale activities are net beneficial.

Does anyone else think this reflects badly on Python? The fact that the author has to use a bunch of different tools to manage Python versions/projects is intimidating.

I don't say this out of negativity for the sake of negativity. Earlier today, I was trying to resurrect an old Python project that was using pipenv.

"pipenv install" gave me an error about accepting 1 argument, but 3 were provided.

Then I switched to Poetry. Poetry kept on detecting my Python2 installation, but not my Python3 installation. It seemed like I had to use pyenv, which I didn't want to use, since that's another tool to use and setup on different machines.

I gave up and started rewriting the project (web scraper) in Node.js with Puppeteer.

How do we block domains once apps incorporate their own DNS over HTTPS?
Original DNS was easy to see and manipulate, and that was a problem once it left the private network - it enabled ISP's and other close-hop providers to catch a glimpse of what is being viewed online.

Inside the private network it was great because it could be detected and manipulated as necessary - redirecting rogue DNS queries to the desired DNS servers if specific software and apps were attempting to use their own hard-coded DNS servers (to bypass ad-blocking etc.), blocking unwanted domains and sites, etc.

Using Pi-Hole my current DNS request block percentage is 45.8%. I specifically redirect DNS requests through it using firewall rules. If I remove or disable the DNS redirection firewall rule this percentage falls to around 25 - 30%, meaning that there are a number of internal devices and software that are using specific, custom DNS servers rather than what my DHCP server hands out. I don't like that, but vanilla DNS lets me close that potential security hole.

What if these devices and software start using internal DNS over HTTPS (or any of the other forms of non-inspectable or non-specific-DNS-port DNS requests) settings that are non-configurable?

How do we even detect that it's occurring, never mind being able to manipulate it to comply with the 'policies' of our private networks?
So it was for the best.
Right -- I was excited that someone had figured out how to exploit the GPU to load unsigned code.

I feel you missed a key part of the essay;

"From the beginning of civilization until the industrial revolution a man could, as a rule, produce by hard work little more than was required for the subsistence of himself and his family [..] Much that we take for granted about the desirability of work is derived from this system"

Lord Russell is praising the kind of hard work your father and grandfather did, that work is the cause of everyone considering work a virtue in itself. Rather, it is the system where millionaires and billionaires, oil barons and railway tycoons, landlords and ladies sail over the 'depression' untouched, when tractors and factory engines were boosting productivity, and still the working classes were working dawn to dusk for basic survival, much of the value of their work accruing to others and supporting government arms, and them being told it was all OK because of the inherent virtue of 'work', he criticises.

"and, being pre-industrial, is not adapted to the modern world. Modern technic has made it possible for leisure, within limits, to be not the prerogative of small privileged classes, but a right evenly distributed throughout the community."

He admits leisure is a perogative of privileged classes, while you criticise his essay on the grounds that he is privileged; but he argues that it shouldn't be a privileged position, it should be everybody's chance to benefit from industrialisation and automation, and not have to work dawn to dusk when others don't have to.

> billions upon billions of dollars to basically put a large 1 MP sensor at the end of a tube with a digital radio for communications.

That's such a gross over-simplification of what the Hubble platform is and what it is capable of that it annoys me.

First, there are _six_ scientific sensor packages on the Hubble craft. These have been swapped out and upgraded several times during its life with a process that allowed us to bring the failed instruments back to surface and study them.

Second, it's not just scientific instruments.. the Hubble is one of the few satellites to have a fine guidance system, that allows it to lock onto and then _track_ with extreme precision exceptionally distant objects. The newer JWST is the only other telescope with similar capabilities.

This system has also been upgraded during the several servicing missions that were a planned part of the entire mission, which is another reason the initial costs were so high. This is an exceptionally advanced program to launch one of the most advanced scientific instruments we created up to that point.

Finally, I think it's also worth pointing out that Hubble was launched into orbit over 29 years ago and it's still working.. which is incredibly impressive considering it has to transit between Earth's shadow and direct sunlight every 47 minutes.

This thing is as _far_ from "a 1MP sensor at the end of a can attached to a radio" as you can possibly get. By the way, we could have made it larger.. but congress wanted to keep the price under $100 million. (Or about $201 million in Today's dollars).

> We could launch not only an equivalent, but technologically improving payload every month?

If all you're doing is making phone calls and routing packets, sure. If you're trying to do legitimate astrophysical science it seems almost an entirely worthless attribute.

> We have no idea what's about to happen in the next decade.

I think your reasoning is exactly backwards. We only launched highly specific and purpose built scientific instruments because it was the only thing _worth_ doing with our previous limited and highly government subsidized launch activities.

There was simply no way to commercialize those launches, and now that we entering an era where you easily can see long term value in them, you're simply going to see typical commercial activities and value realization behavior when they utilize this destination. It's absurdly predictable.
That is great! Thanks for the tip.

Usually folks in the business are concerned about cyber attacks on important warfighting infrastructure (GPS satellites, for example). Cyber attacks against early warning radars, communications infrastructure, civilian power infrastructure and so on. You can imagine a battle fought solely in ‘cyberspace’ over control of critical satellites.

Sometimes electronic warfare is also lumped into this in the form of jamming or spoofing radars.

I don't understand why you'd pretend anything.

You've got 3 areas:

1. Producers actively preventing you from running custom software (iOS, TVs, game consoles, some Android systems, ...).

2. Platforms providing default software and leaving an official way to replace it (pixels and a few other androids, ...).

3. Producers who mostly don't care what you run. (PCs)

It matters to me that things are as close to the 3rd category as possible. But let's not lump 1 and 2 together - there's a huge difference.
Unless they catch the perpetrators, we'll probably never know what the MO was.

Giving a counterexample is not argument from authority. I did not respond to the parent comment to discuss any feature of conda, only to dispel the wrong claim that only mostly data science projects rely on it.
I could easily be wrong but I didn't think he meant the engineer literally worked 48 hours without sleep or rest, then literally slept for 48 hours. I took it as: the engineer regularly shut out everyone for ~2 days straight and did long, extremely focus coding sessions, then shut out all work for a couple of days to decompress. Taken that way, it's not bi-polar or mental-health issue at all. Seems like this engineer just had the guts to stand up to everyone's ordained-from-the-heavens schedule of interruptions: "I'm gonna ignore distractions for two days to work, then ignore distractions for two days to rest."
I've never quite understood the need for pyenv. Just keep a virtualenv with each project that you want to have an isolated environment.

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to make a case for Japanese not rhyming with what I mentioned. I intended to illustrate how rhyming looks like in Japanese, but rereading my comment it does indeed look like that.

I just wanted to establish that Japanese poems were characterized primarily by # of syllables or # of morae, and were quite free in their distribution of stressed syllables or long/short (heavy/light) syllables, as opposed to most European forms.

I'd also like to address a misconception of the original comment I was responding to that rhyming in poetry is prevalent in a language because it takes skill. It's primarily a matter of poetic tradition whether a language's poetry cares about rhyme. As darkwater's comment points out, Italian has plenty of rhymes and its poetic forms use rhyming extensively.
That's not really a rare situation. Even the worst cars today are far better than the best were 30 years ago.
Just spent ~1 hour trying to set up a working python environment .... so yes. It's in the classic phase where it has an ecosystem with a bunch of problems that are small enough that they aren't being tackled comprehensively by the core language, but large enough that n different solutions are being created in parallel by different groups. The result is an explosion in complexity for anybody just trying to get their job done and ... it's actually very unpythonic!

The question to be asked is whether your coding language contains non-essential information.

For example, in the case of SQL, the GROUP BY clause is nearly always noise.

So much so that SQL database will tell you exactly what things you need to add to the GROUP BY to make it valid SQL. Those things are extraneous information that the database could (and already did) know.

(IMO, in an aggregated query, SQL ought to implicitly add all non-aggregated fields to the GROUP BY, the user may explicitly add fields to the GROUP BY if desired.)

It was an experiment to see if a new technique would drastically lower costs - it didn't. We should be encouraging people to try new things.

My go-to (or goto, if you will) quote:

We are not here concerned with so-called computer 'languages', which resemble human languages (English, Sanskrit, Malayalam, Mandarin Chinese, Twi or Shoshone etc.) in some ways but are forever totally unlike human languages in that they do not grow out of the unconscious but directly out of consciousness. Computer language rules ('grammar') are stated first and thereafter used. The 'rules' of grammar in natural human languages are used first and can be abstracted from usage and stated explicitly in words only with difficulty and never completely.

Go makes solving problems like this an absolute joy. I recently ran into a situation where I had to download and extract a very large tar archive, then send its contents to another network resource. The device doing the extraction had severely restricted memory and storage space.

Since gzipped tar archives contain sequential data, solving it ended up being trivial. With Go, I was able to string together the file download, tar extraction, and forwarding the individual files on, all within the context of a single stream.

I think the idea is more that querying will be "higher level", and still just as performant as writing the raw SQL. So instead of specifying a lot of JOINs and such, you just ask for the data you need and it delivers it optimally.

I want to stress that I think 50% is high here, because the default state is that most browsers do basically the same amount of stuff.

If you asked me to make a bet on whether Firefox would be meaningfully better than Chrome on, like, SSL support, I would give that a pretty low probability -- maybe 10% off the top of my head. Because I expect that a year from now nothing drastic is going to happen that would magically make either browser be different from each other on that front.

It's not 50% "one of the two things will happen, flip a coin", it's 50% "we will see a meaningful change from the status quo."
