> I would argue these days that it is far better to be able to reconstruct a conversation and prove someone said something. In case things go wrong, we have to have a way to establish truth, and prove things, so we can have fairness in outcomes.

I'd love to have that capability. What matters is who controls it. If everything about me was constantly recorded but I was the person that decides if and when make some of this information available to other people (and initally to whom) then it would be great and I think that's our future that marries our progressing tech with our freedoms.

If I can be coerced to reveal information about myself or it can be revealed at the whim of government, judge or a corporation, then it's a dystopian nightmare which we see some people are trying to create for example by coercing people to reveal their passwords or unlock their devices.

There's of course some grey area like public places where privacy does not apply. Your thoughts there are private but the rest is not yours. We have pretty much worked out what's private and what's public in physical space. As for digital space I think things I do on my local machine or on another machine that I control then it's private. Once I do something on someone elses machine it stops being private.
From the article: "Tech companies should include mechanisms in the design of their encrypted products and services whereby governments, acting with appropriate legal authority, can obtain access to data in a readable and useable format"

They would target companies, not math or protocols.
I see, thanks for the detailed breakdown. Condo/ LLC are definitely a little more lightweight vs. a C Corp.

But even managing a C Corp is not that bad at the end of the day. You can do it yourself if you know what you are supposed to do and by when. That's the point where I got stuck with my previous company - I didn't have much guidance and missed some pieces here and there. I'd be curious to see if others had my same problem/ if there are nice, lightweight software for guiding small businesses in their legal entity mannagement/ due dates etc. I found something but looks from the '90s...
For better or worse, I think the economics of it mean this is what will happen in future.

As it gets possible to build very large and powerful computers more cheaply, they'll still be expensive and only the biggest corps will deploy them. And the experience deliverable from virtualized apps in those clouds will be vastly better than anything that can be run on a device. Considering the impact and requirements of AI only makes this more likely.

So after briefly becoming all about "edge computing" and "fat clients" in the recent past, I think the future is going to see a swing back toward massive centralization. This will also only be compounded by the next advances in wafer process and quantum, and the increases in bandwidth to allow richer experiences over 5G.

Our pocket devices might be "supercomputers" but the real supercomputers are still going to be in the cloud and capable, I think, of running everything.

TL;DR - the next big advance in computing tech will disproportionately allocate towards the cloud rather than the device, is my bet. And we'll all have "dumb" terminals streaming us VR/AR + AI experiences all the time.

Disclaimer: that future is not why I made this, I still think it is some time off and it just seems obvious this will happen. Rather than becoming all about "more powerful devices, less powerful servers", I think the future will be the other way round. :)
I'm pretty sure that 95% of my college ROI can't be measured. The people, ideas, techniques, perceptions, and multiple forms of expertise and culture shared with me - the opening of horizons - have been invaluable to me as an individual ... and hopefully to some people I shared with.

College can be much more than quantifiable job training. All of us know this, and we owe this kind of reckoning no more respect than it deserves. This experience needs to be open to all who wish it, regardless.

In terms of taking care of the environment and fighting planned obsolence, this should be mandatory. If you stop supporting your product, you must enable your customers to support themselves.
question: would you consider STL (standard-template-library) closer (in some sense of the word) "philosophically" to theory of objects than 'vanilla' OO ?

i mean, _i_ always find it intriguing that in OO, world can be decomposed in terms of interfaces that vary on a single type, whereas, imho, what you _really_ need is to parameterize your program by the structure of data that it manipulates i.e. a notion of bunch of interfaces spanning across multiple types...

Thanks a lot for your time on this report, and I'm really sorry about that! It sounds like the screen is pixelated and unusable. That must be very annoying!

I don't have an iPhone next to me right now, and I have not tested in Safari for about a week. Would you mind sharing a screenshot?

I know that because iOS Safari does not support WebP, I'm just using JPEGs which means the quality is worse there.

As a short term workaround, I'll now turn up the JPEG quality. This will take some time to propagate to browsers.

Again, I'm very sorry you had this experience today! I will test on iOS and improve the usability. I've had other reports that scrolling is terrible in iOS.

I'm just adding the iOS issues to the GitHub repo now. It could be great to contribute your screenshot to there! :)

Edit: Also, I'm sorry but would you be able to tell me are you using https://free.cloudbrowser.xyz or https://hk.cloudbrowser.xyz?

My experience is that they do get/eat food at the places they work. Much shorter breaks of course but the point "any kind" doesn't stand. They also work shifts, often times 12h ones. They also likely earn less as well. (side note: it's wrong to assume everyone lives in NA; tipping is rather rare here)

Also perspective: staying overnight, while uncommon, to address production issues doesn't translate, either.

No, but you can order physical abuse over the internet. I really don't want to bother you with how dark some of the darker stuff on the internet is but you're going to have to trust me on this without having to become more explicit or you risk losing your breakfast and then some.

The digital can definitely be a pre-cursor and active element in the physical.

Seems really scary to exclusively use a neural network for safety-critical tasks like this, without having an explicit method guaranteeing safety.

You can't prove that a trained neural network is always correct, and thus this is likely going to kill someone at some point.

I think you definitely need a LIDAR (or in general something that can give an accurate 3D map of all surroundings) and some explicitly written code that can be proven to result in never hitting a car going the opposite direction in the opposite lane (provided they stay in their lane), as well as never hitting stationary obstacles and never going off the side of a mountainside road.
You actually can get 20mm plywood, it will be a bit more expensive and likely much harder to find. Try a cabinet maker and ask if they can order it for you, cabinet makers have access to a vastly superior source of materials compared to your normal building store. Another option is that they route some grooves in thicker plywood at the spot of the joists (I guess that would qualify as a hack).

Serde is one of Rust's killer feature which makes you appreciate the philosophy behind the language. With just a few annotations you have a robust and complete parser for whatever format (JSON, TOML, etc.) automatically built for serializing and deserializing your data structures. And it's fast, and optionnally zero-copy. I've never seen this in other languages.
I disagree. He says that the rest model could be better then message passing when scaled down, then he says Alan Kay is right about messaging but that it's just one aspect of his storage combinator concept.

What I interpreted as what the author means by "what Alan Kay got wrong" is that Alan was just looking at the wrong isomorphism. The wrong aspect of essentially the same concept.

Outside of the OPs opinion though. I personally believe that there is an isomorphism between infrastructure and OOP.
Transforming the agricultural industry with machine learning
Really nice description.

One way that I think about impedance matching is with the idea of resonant coupling. If one wants to record a heartbeat, the microphone needs to resonate and couple with the heart. But since sound waves don't transfer well across gaps of materials with different impedance, to enhance resonant coupling, the microphone is embedded within another device that can better couple with the skin -- e.g., through increased surface area or with material that is acoustically similar to the skin. The use of acoustically similar materials is also called impedance matching.

This article is nice, especially the illustration of how air ducts can be used to create low/high-pass and bandpass filters.

The "structured concurrency" pattern, simply amounts to starting some async jobs (concurrent or parallel) and collecting all of them at the end of some context.

One antidote to unstructured concurrency is to use something like trio in order to make async job spawning a function of a context manager (called nursery in trio) so all job results will be collected when the nursery block ends.
There is a very interesting trick that you can pull with small speakers to make the listener believe that you have this amazing ability to make loud low tones (which is physically impossible below a certain size). You synthesize the overtones of that low tone (which you can reproduce), which will fool the brain into thinking that the low tone itself is present.

Pianos have the same effect for the lowest notes, they will not reproduce the bases directly because the soundboard simply isn't large enough to accommodate the waveform. But the harmonics do fit and again your brain will interpret the harmonics pattern in such a way that they conclude the low tone is actually present.

This is called the 'missing fundamental' and is one of the more interesting psycho acoustic phenomenon.

It works like this: instead of playing A0 directly (27.5Hz) you'd play 110, 137.5, 165, 182.5, 220 etc all the way up to say 2 KHz in diminishing fashion as you go higher. For a piano you'd have to keep track of odd/even harmonics and ensure they are in the right relation to each other to get the right timbre. The brain then is apparently capable of determining the distance between those harmonics and make you believe that you are hearing A0 even though that frequency is not at all present in the output.
We have to do something on this big issue.
But software is written not only by companies. Single person can deliver to millions of users and remain anonymous if he's careful.

So drop the idea you can prevent encryption, learn to live with it. Drop the idea of giving your policemen ability to time travel and listen to anyones private conversation from the past while remaining invisible. It would be nice for you but physics (of internet) does not allow it.

There's no reason this couldn't happen.

pptr and BG both use Chrome DevTools to communicate with the browser, so there's that commonality.

I haven't looked extensively at the pptr source but I imagine both pptr and BG do some bookkeeping of state related to the sequence of commands (BG certainly does), rather than a purely "stateless" command queue.

For instance, for some things you need to keep track of which session is associated with which target. For other command sequences (such as Runtime.evaluate) you need to know which execution context to evaluate in. And you can keep track of open execution contexts by tracking various Runtime domain events (such as executionContextCreated, executionContextDestroyed, etc).

So to provide a sophisticated level of interaction with the page, some amount of chattiness and state is required for the protocol on top of the DevTools wire protocol.

What I'm getting at is, if there are hurdles, they will likely emerge from the different ways in which pptr and BG handle state and that chattiness to achieve particular user intents.

Also, BG does not require pptr to do automation. It's possible to simply record and replay (again with a further layer of book-keeping that's too involved to get into here), the BG command sequence (which itself is a superset of the DevTools protocol).

All the same, I've often thought about providing a functionality to "export to puppeteer" (or to nightmare, or to phantomjs, etc) in terms of getting a transcript in a widely used format that people can take and run anywhere. That's one thing that excites me about pptr X BG.

In any case, automation is not something that is currently provided in the CE, but it's in the paid version at https://browsergap.xyz

> But there's nothing about share-alike terms that require that stricture. The Parity license that I mention in the blog post takes a different tack.

But they do. "or another license that allows everything this license does" sounds less restrictive at a glance, in that on the surface it permits additions to be separately licensed, but its effect is the same: no license with more stipulations is acceptable, and by symmetry any less restrictive share-alike license with similar wording cannot accept combination with this one.

Additions to code under your license may be published under weaker terms. But they cannot be weaker copyleft terms. I can think of a few edge cases involving use of independent portions of the new work under only the weaker license, but it doesn't achieve a likely goal of someone choosing a copyleft license: to eliminate confusion about whether it's permissible to merge downstream improvements.
Not just for remote browsers, but even any browser other than Google Chrome it triggers a lot of captchas and even renders a lot of sites hosted behind Cloudflare unusable - which is a lot.

Just try doing a reverse phone number search on truecaller.com. It will work flawlessly on Chrome but use FF or any other browser and recaptcha will fail you saying you're a bot (at least happens to me evey time I've tried). Same for many other sites where you see that "Checking your browser" page.

So even though I want to use FF I can't since most of the web is unusable because of this stupid Recaptcha unlesw you're using Google Chrome :(

I think it's silly: the idea that free software is primarily done unpaid is just a myth, as can be seen from the attendees of any major free software conference, or the commit history of the major codebases.

I would recommend the Duolingo German from English course instead. It has an app, so you can practice wherever you are, it has grammar, audio, speech recognition, spaced repitition (how ever much you want of that) and gameification. Duolingo courses and exercises are also improved through data-based methods.

I have completed Spanish, Mandarin and Norwegian. The Spanish and Norwegian ones are very comprehensive, the Mandarin tops off at around 1000 words. German also seems to be one of their most polished languages, contrasted with courses in Hawaiian and Navajo.
Nearly every part of this is incorrect.

Most Americans do not have good enough insurance.

The cost per person of health care in the US is far, far higher than that of the countries you're deriding.

People do, actually, choose to have their cancer treated in the UK.

Try to get mental health care in the US if you're poor.

Care being denied because you're too old, or too young is just crap. Your whole "the government will stop you" argument is based on one story where a child's parent's wanted to make their suffering last longer, even though the evidence was quite clear that the only people who would benefit from it was the people lying to them about whether there was anything that could be done.

The NHS is responsible for an astonishing number of advances in medicine. And no, it isn't a coincidence.

Trains are one of the few applications where hydrogen fuel cells make more sense that batteries, or so I've heard.
From a cursory glance it seems to me that SNCF's debts are due to them financing all of their infrastructure instead of the French state paying for it (directly, it of course is indirectly), and then the argument goes back to the current top comment here: The real value of a good transport network is the add-on economic effects.

Also from a security perspective, you can't hijack a train and crash it into some building (it has to stay on the tracks), so that's a plus for trains.

Finally a domestic train causes about 41 g/km of CO2 emissions, while a domestic flight causes about 254 g/km (accounting for altitude) [0]
