WebAssembly does not work on this low level. You cannot choose the switch/case implementation. Also it doesn't support goto. The reason is security and speed. The wasm-binary should be checked in O(n) and not in O(n^2). But I am curious about the future versions of webassembly.

There is already a wasm version of the CPU emulation. I will enable it at some point as default. But there is no speedup yet.

> We're riding an exponent in everything around us, culture included

Popular culture perhaps - but in my experience there's a massive yawning chasm between 'woke' culture and the culture of the majority of the population, which has remained remarkably sceptical. The whole pronouns thing for example would still get very strange looks down the pub.
>>it gives me actually confidence in the justice system of the nation I currently live in: if they even defend the rights of a murderer, this indicates they will also take the privacy of everybody else seriously.

He murdered people on a yacht - maybe he's rich? At least an alternative explanation for why his case was honoured by the highest court.

> The idea is that the stories should be harder to find in searches by name. In my opinion that makes no sense, neither technically nor from the point of view of the 'right to be forgotten'

In the case of the "right to be forgotten" no kind of obfuscation is needed from the publisher. Article stays where it is in its originality the only thing that happens is that article is no longer shown in search results of search engines when searching the mans name. If you search for the name of the victim those articles still might show as search results.

Makes perfect sense to me. The aim is not to eradicate all evidence of the crime. The aim is just to allow him to lead a normal life where he doesn't have to worry that a single Google search of his name would lead to him getting fired.
> Because what if it's not?

Then, after you done ruling out the most likely and easiest explanation to test, you can then start exploring the remaining possibilities. Skipping to the more exotic explanations sounds more interesting but it's poor use of time if there's still low-hanging fruit out there.
I agree. I does not remove the information, it just makes it harder to find. If google in the future truly lives up to it's ideal and gives me exactly the information I was looking for, then removing the information from the index would enable one to rehabilitate and not be discriminated against afterwards.

I do not want one of my storage implementations promoting itself to be the master of all other storage implementations. To put it another way, I will not depend upon Permazen to provide independence.

Storage solutions need to be able to hide behind something like `Future<V> put(K k, V v)` or get out of the way.

I'm sure you come at this with good intentions, but god do I hate low effort 'advice' like this. Basically you're saying 'just make everything better, that'll be great!'. No shit Sherlock, I'm sure nobody ever thought of that. If you're going to offer unsolicited advice, at least give specific, actionable advice of things that are not multi-year projects by themselves. It's like telling a car designer 'yeah cool car, but maybe you should add some drag racing stripes, oh and it'd be cool if the car could drive over water, too!' Uh, thanks, I guess?

On the other hand I don't feel like I'm in a position to blame a blind user for clinging to something they already know instead of learning how to use a graphical browser. A lot of people in general have good reasons for sticking to what they know. Especially if what they stuck to worked fine until recently, and doesn't now only for some trivial reason that's easy to fix.

> From the sounds of this it wasn't actually murder, it was manslaughter.

It was "Mord" according to the ruling (https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/SharedDocs/Entscheid...), which is "murder", even if German law might not use the exact same wording as whatever laws you may have in mind. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_in_German_law.

> which I have to clarify is not “guessmyname”

That's just what you want us to think!
The central point of this garbage article is that authoritarian regimes that use machine learning will fail because they'll be misled by biased outputs. Titledropping Scott's famous book is just for flavor. As one of the comments says, the article equivocates between "bias" as injustice and "bias" as error. Authoritarian regimes can use machine learning just fine.

The rest of the comments are just bizarre, with claims like there's no difference between dictatorships and democracies because "totalitarianism" is just a "colonialist" category. And this blog wants to make the claim that it's China that's detached from reality?

Machine learning's real problem is in the west, which has a very difficult time accepting unpleasant facts even when fair ML systems produce them. It's the west, not a place like China, that's going to be misled by accepts to "fix" machine learning.
> If you have such an important personal brand to protect, you presumably have something interesting to say

Sorry, but do you actually believe this? In my experience, nearly everyone who talks about their "personal brand" is some variation of a dull-as-dishwater marketing drone. Be a human, not a brand.
The way to do it that respects freedoms would be through incentives. E.g. if preventative checks would save public healthcare a lot of money, then give people that do it tax credits or literally pay them money to do it!

With cars, there are greater third-party effects (i.e. your car failing and crashing into someone else), so it makes sense to require a certificate before one is allowed to use public roads.

Modeling is just the start of the 3D pipeline. You also have surface design (textures & shaders), lighting, animation.

The well-known big 3D packages do all, but there’s a long history of separate tools too.

AFAIK Pixar still has separate toolchains and editors for each discipline. It makes some sense that, if you hire the world’s best expressive character animators, you don’t want to distract their daily work with mesh editing tools.

Because it's not a lie.

Justice system in Europe is not a business, like it is in US, or a way to inflict a punishment, it is a rehabilitation process: if you prove you have changed, you can benefit from reduced sentences, furlough for good behavior and/or early releases.

If you haven't, you stay in jail.

Think about the U.S. system where people can be taken to custody for murder but can bail out, is that better in your opinion?

In Italy, for example, to keep mob affiliates in jail in solitary confinement, so they can't speak with the outside, they had to make a specific law, otherwise it would not be possible within the Italian prison system.

Actually we do it, and it helps. In fact a large part of current jobs is like that, BS busywork jobs.

The reason it helps is, as I see it:

1) Productivity/automation is well up...

2) More people than required are available to work

3) -- On-demand re-education of the kind needed to fit actual needs (e.g. for programmers), can't / ain't gonna happen, it's a pipe dream at the speeds required and for the populations concern

4) -- and even if it was possible, it would just cover a small fraction. Even with all job needs covered, many people are not needed to work anywhere, period.

5) BS jobs hence serve as a distribution / welfare system / kindergarten for adults

6) -- but allow us to not call it "welfare" and to include more than the poor, and have them keep their dignity (since we sneer on welfare recipients)

7) -- and keep from having a huge unemployed mass revolting or making society Mad Max

I think the problem is not really in the diagnostic (when you have your first one, you'll know when you get another) but rather the antibiotic management: resistance testing and rotation if UTIs are recurrent. That's where the value of a visit to the hospital or lab comes from in my opinion.

In the USA, it simply isn't normal for any kind of criminal to bring family to jail. This is nothing special. It's the same thing that happens when you go to jail for stealing a car, raping, or getting in a bar fight. Even for a DUI, the USA will separate a mom from a baby. Family jail is not a thing in the USA, even for newborns.

In the USA, it is also normal to take children away from abusers. It is child abuse to walk a kid across a hot desert, through cartel territory, and over a river or fast-moving canal. Any of the adults should consider themselves lucky if the USA doesn't file charges for felony child abuse.
I thought it was about the test where children reach with their right hand over their head to touch the left ear - a common tongue-in-cheek test for first grade readiness.

Apparently the test has some real foundation. That the proportion of the limbs (and relative size of the head) only allows children to touch the ear at about 5 years old.
5GHz WiFi has more bandwidth than 2.4GHz, so typically will involve larger IO buffers in the driver, which could easily be enough to expose a memory scribbler (I imagine there's a bunch of other features that are enabled/disabled by the frequency band switch too). However, I think
asdfasgasdgasdg's answer is the correct reason not to suspect a memory scribbler - ie a memory scribbler would cause the driver to crash/fail and the kernel would log a message.
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Hah, no, I was the regular kind of correct, you just misread what i wrote - the best kind of read.

As to the other thing, I wasn't arguing about the merits of CGI just that the commenter's recollection was a few years off. A lot of stuff happened in that '94ish-'98ish period as the web went commercial.

Whether lambda is a forgotten CGI, it's a different tangent but I'm not sure I agree. The share-nothing architecture is still (give or take) the norm in HTTP request handling. CGI's attractive feature was implementation-language independence. Lamda's attractive feature is scaling independent of some big unwieldy discrete compute unit (hence 'server-less', you don't scale in servers).

This is the same way that PHP works if you don't use the fast CGI modules. The webserver runs the php executable just as apache would've run perl in the gp's example.
I also work for a cybersecurity vendor and what I am witnessing at work looks a little similar to other comments here.

Every feature and improvement goes through the same cycle:

- Sales come with user stories/feedback

- Boss distort the needs and comes up with a solution that's good for nobody

- The engineering team tries to reason the boss into meeting the actual needs and fails 9 times out of 10 because he knows better

- The feature is carefully designed to be as secure, user friendly and efficient as possible

- Boss ruins the UX and security by inventing ridiculous constraints, sometime saying that we can improve on it later

- Insecure and user hostile feature get released in the next software version

Of course boss and sales advertise the product as the next generation of cyber security product, better than anything already out there. I've not been working here for a long time but I know I will get tired of this stuff very quickly.
