> Don’t politicize every part of our existence.

Some peoples mere existence is political, hiring black people or women is sometimes seen as playing some sort political card. And for the people who have been hired they must personally defend their presence.
I was thinking about something similar to extfuse, but for a remote filesystem. Here's some note scraps:

> Server abilities can be changed by uploading JS functions/libs..

> Want to search a file formats meta-data on the server? Upload JS to read the
meta-data and index it, and provide the search options..

> Servers should also use the best options for the tasks they provide: Grep to
seach text -- and not Grep like functionality, but the optimized binary for
the platform the server is running.

> Locking, linking, ACLs, and binary access should all be changable by JS.
Not so easy for a casual user. Building a nice interactive dropdown search widget (or something of the sort) requires solid JS chops and you need to know your way around Hugo to generate a search index. But others have done it and there are some good tutorials out there, so by all means give it a shot!
Quoth the article:

> Being intimately aware of the financial health of your company might not be glamorous, but it is as important as monitoring your fermentations or selecting hops.

At the advice of a therapist, a friend of mine started looking for things which bring him joy, with the phrasing, "I love $X. It brings me joy." We started doing it together, and I've also started doing it on my own. I realized that one of the things that brings me the most joy is a clean house; but I hated to clean. Somehow, verbalizing that a clean house brings me joy has made the process of cleaning... enjoyable. Cleaning went from something I 'had to' do for abstract (guilt from upbringing) or external reasons (friends and clients coming to the house), to something I do, just for me. And again, somehow, it has also made a clean house more enjoyable to me.

There will always be the parts you love and the parts you don't want to have to do. Selecting hops, especially for something that many people will potentially enjoy, is super fun (in my imagination anyway). But it is only by "being intimately aware of the financial health of your company" that you are even in a position to do such a thing. Based on my experience, connecting these two things in your psyche is the key to at least easing the burden, if not making the entire process enjoyable.
And to anyone who believes that corporations have a responsibility to protect the data they collect (and should be held civilly, if not even criminally liable for breaches), anything less than having complete control over devices holding corporate data is corporate malfeasance.

I wish there was a "Stripe Atlas" for brick and mortar businesses. 90% of the work to start a restaurant, cafe, shop, etc., must be the near identical to others colocated in the same city/state.

The rise of "ghost kitchens" tries to solve this in some way but I think there's opportunity to go further.
There are procedural APIs to do everything you mentioned.
In my hosehold TVs are only used as large monitors connected to computers by HDMI/DisplayPort . Any other connectivity is disabled. We've stopped using the actual television whether over the air or IP based years ago.

Of course computers can be broken into as well but at least those are the beasts I know how to maintain.
I fully support this. Mozilla is one of very few internet companies that I greatly trust.

Also, this will be an additional source of income for them, so that they can slowly stop depending on Google for funding.
You should care as a customer because if the page needs fixes that the converter did not code properly (and probably cannot fix by itself), the code should be simple enough so that a single developer (or a small team) can change & fix it quickly

Why companies don't just continue to manufacture screen-only TV's baffles me. I'd love to see some existing privacy-oriented company that already has to deal with screen manufactures start selling "privacy-oriented TVs".
Unions are political constructs, so by definition a right to unionize implies a right to politicize work (at least for a narrow wedge of "politicize").

And Google spans such a wide range of users' lives, that at Google at least, it's going to be hard to do one's job properly in a lot of areas of the company without having some political / philosophical conversations about free speech (YouTube bans and censorship), the right to bear arms (Google's block against firearm ads), etc. One can consider the decisions the company makes to be divorced from political issues, but politics ultimately rides atop philosophy, and companies are entities within societies, so the politics will inevitably come into play.

If political strategic decisions are something Google is deciding is "above the pay grade" of swathes of engineers, that's a decision they can make but it is a shift for the company from its roots.
Couldn't agree more. I live in Oregon, the craft beer center of the universe, and find that the vast majority of craft beers is too overwhelming to actually enjoy.

There are more breweries learning how to do good lagers but still few and far between.
My guess is everyone on here defending US only... is in the US.

One of the main points of the library is the ability to pass SDSs where char* is expected without doing anything. So this is a "feature" in the author's spirit.
Rigetti Quantum Computers Now Available via Amazon Web Services
All of the major distribution families support Arm archs and the heavy lifting for most of the things that reach out to native code have already been ported.

Native libraries are most often used to make boring things faster, use popular C libraries, and are already ported.

Unless your in-house library is using native bindings for custom code, it very likely will be a drop-in replacement.

ARM isn't so esoteric these days like it might have been 5-10 years ago.
When these regulators stop "retiring" to cushy jobs in the industry, I'll believe it's the politicians and not the regulators openly taking bribes in the form of future "jobs".

An easy fix would be for congress to pass a law preventing regulators from working in the industry they regulated, but then the politicians wouldn't also receive those same cushy "jobs".

I had a similar experience. Hard if not impossible to find a non-smart tv. Like you said we are probably the minority but I think there is a market for dumb, large screens.
They exist, they're called "commercial displays", and they're quite expensive.
I wrote a library with similar functionality, also with variable-size header (smaller header for small strings, and bigger when growing). With both heap and stack allocation support (contiguous memory for headers and data), Unicode interoperability, and even data compression. Eventually I added support for other data types (vector, map, hash map, set, hash set, bit set). The SDS/SDS-2 is more suited for production, and this is not for recommending mine instead, but if someone wants to check a different implementation looking for ideas (BSD licensed, too):

>Hops must be what sells though.

I'm increasingly suspicious that (typically) high relative ABV of high-IBU beers is a significant factor in influencing consumer choice, perhaps moreso than hops enthusiasts would like to admit.
Has nothing to do with age. Has only to do with how interested they are in how things work. And most people, no matter their age, don't care how things work.

You're telling me. I've been into craft beer for around 8 years, a bit after IPAs really took off in the US. I have acid reflux, and nothing triggers it more consistently and quickly than having an IPA. It just tastes like straight up acid to me.

I equate people who like really strong IPAs to people who are into extreme hot sauce just for the sake of injuring themselves with something that's overly hot.

Is there really any flavor to IPAs with IBUs that are through the roof? No, not at all.

I'm glad on the east coast I have a variety of beer to choose from that aren't IPAs

Are you arguing crime or events? France and Norway beat US in events, gun control doesn’t seem to work there.

If you are talking crime, yes USA crime is higher - in the areas with more gun control. I’d argue the cause of the crime is our poor handling of drug and poverty and not focus on the tool used.

Guns have increased DRAMATICALLY since the crime highs of the 1990s, but crime has dropped to just above the lows of the 1960s.

You have ZERO data for causation of more guns equal more crime because we have opposite evidence.

So while I can’t say more guns EQUALS less crime - I can definitely say more guns hasn’t CAUSED more crime like you are saying.
Since those are your programs you have source code, so yes, you can port them to ARM.

The actual question is whether you want to put that effort or not. You'll have to decide if the savings through instance are worth it or not.
I setup a Pi Hole this weekend in preparation for a black friday deal on a Roku and because I heard my smart TV was chatty. This wont protect you from a TV that will connect to open wifi around you (or one that uses a hardcoded DNS), but it was an easy project (20mins) that is already providing me with a wealth of data points about my home network.
I don't have the technical capability to do it, but it would be great to know how to cover the wifi transmitter on the TV (like we do cameras on our laptops), but with an electrical barrier tape (Yes, i'm trying to avoid saying "tinfoil.")

Maybe someone could even put together a repository of diagrams to show which areas need to be covered.

Would be a fun to see for us paranoid people.
That's probably why EMR doesn't support ARM-based instances [1].

Python’s Advantages and Disadvantages Summarized
There are DIY book scanners (http://diybookscanner.org) and products such as the Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600. The SV600 has decent features like page-detection and finger-removal (I recommend using a pencil's eraser tip). I have personally used it to scan dozens of books, with satisfactory results.
There are quite a few such copies, on the 'just in case' principle.

Wasn't Unicode made to be kind of backwards-compatible with ASCII? If you stick to the ascii subset of unicode characters then it should be exactly the same, and if you don't then there's no good way to convert it back to ascii anyways.
We lost the ability to make CRTs and subsequently never gained LCD and Oled manufacturing. We lost the leading edge in IC manufacturing. We lost the ability to put people in orbit. Were in danger of not being able to make passenger planes.

Sure, all of that can be turned around, but the trend is toward losing capability to do advanced things.

> But that doesn't mean that politics pervades every corner of life.

But it does, whether we like it or not. Everything from the media we consume, to the drugs we take, to how we expect our significant others to behave in a relationship, to what software we use - is political in one form or another. The politics isn't always national or party politics, though. For example, software freedom is a very strong and popular political goal among technologists, and because of that, proprietary software is political. The fact that some people are ignorant of that fact doesn't change it.

And "having one perspective" alone does not constitute ideology. Most people are extremely ideological; people forget that just because an ideology seems natural or is normal, it doesn't mean it ceases to be an ideology. Belief in the democratic state is ideology, freedom of speech is ideology, the US Constitution is ideology, the democratic process is ideology, the culture propagated in daily life is ideology. I think Althusser and Lefevbre made a very good point about how ideology reproduces itself and how everyday life is subsumed into ideological functions of the workplace or the state. Culture, like anything else, must reproduce itself, a dead culture is one that failed to reproduce itself. Within this reproduction we are making all kinds of choices (conscious or not) to keep certain elements of our society in moving forward.
The recommended method is to go from one minor version to the next. 1.11 > 2.0 > ... > 3.0.

It's not much work, and you might just take the opportunity to stop and read the release notes of each release and find something useful there.
I believe you. That's part of the value proposition: the company would know the impact of their changes to various TV models, and you could factor that into your buying decision.
AWS did some custom hardware for their i3 style instances which would be a significant effort to recreate on a difference processor/system architecture.
Another (to me more plausible) option: The employee was unable/unwilling to separate the personal from work. So the "personal" data included (or could have reasonable suspicion of including) employer data.
Damn. Haven't heard that one before but it's quite poignant.
Yup, in my opinion adding tons of hops can be a way to “cheat” and make a better beer, similar to some heavily flavored strong dark beers: if you overwhelm the palate you can cover up all kinds of issues, and nuances! Also in the NW a lot of hops are grown there, so it’s kind of a regional pride thing too. Even though WA also grows a ton of barley, there isn’t nearly as much interest in it.
Ultimately, few people understand that this is a problem or that they should want a dumb TV. The manufacturers make money from the smart features by selling the data and by getting a cut of subscription revenue, so smart TVs can be sold cheaper than dumb TVs.

The FBI issuing a warning about this is helpful. It may help create a market for dumb TVs that cost more than smart TVs.
For important archives like this maybe we need some sort of turn-key solution for the masses? Like a Raspberry Pi image that maintains a partial mirror. Imagine if one could by a RPi and external HD, burn the image, and connect it to some random wifi network (at home, at work, at the library, etc).
JavaScript doesn’t give you nearly as much access to host OS features as the JVM does. (And there sometimes are security problems when it does.)
At reddit, we used Cassandra, and it was a huge pain to manage. At Netflix we used it, and had a whole team of engineers that built tools just to manage Cassandra.

If this service had existed then, it would have made life so much easier!
"checks fall of the list" issue has always been a thing. There is a term in electronics call "Muntzing". Named after Earl Muntz who, after the engineers created a thing (TV) he would start pulling parts until it failed. Then call it good. This did two things. Made the product cheaper and caused service calls to fix (Put back parts). He made money both ways.
The "Anti Safty" issue is management's form of Muntzing the code.
I was won over to ARM by the raspberry pi. Suddenly I wanted all of my software to be compatible with ARM. Back when the RPI was new I was definitely not alone, because when I did find issues with certain python libraries I usually found the issue opened by another dev — also so it will work on the RPI!
This exact issue was the final nail in the coffin for me with Facebook. I was expected to use it as a primary means of communication and I refused. The hard part is, the people I don't hear from anymore are family.

Every brewery I've been to offers lagers. They can be hit or miss though since it's harder to mask off notes in them. The session ipas (low abv / preferably low ibu) are usually more dependable at small breweries. I personally like the crisp juiciness of those provided they don't overdo it with the hops. I can't stand the syrupy IPAs/double IPAs, fortunately those have been waning in popularity. They were fun for a bit but not anymore.
This is my experience as well. In theory, IPFS is exactly the right thing for LibGen, but in practice I consider it unusable.
Well, in most apps you will layer both kinds of models. You’ll have SQL which is declarative, but you’ll call those queries as procedures. The boundaries around a React component are declarative, but the render function is procedural.

So when I talk about declarative models I’m talking about the Swiss cheese of declarative models with procedures mixed in.

A different consideration is people's motivation to pay, and longevity is one aspect of that - buyer's confidence.

I paid money for an extension that promptly became unsupported and then died in an upgrade. Which is fine, whatever, but it did put a big question mark over the category of "paid browser extension" for me.

Knowing the source will be out there would fix that part for me - I may not be able to take over dev, but I could at least try to fix things that break until I find a replacement.
Not everyone is equally socially astute. Some people aren't good at inferring such things. Such people need to work at it to make their life work.

Even if you are innately good at it, you may not automatically know how to handle it well if it's a new context in some way. This can include being a foreign national or facing other cultural barriers.

The most socially astute people aren't simply "born with" such talents. They work at it on top of whatever natural talents they are fortunate to have.
I've done a bit of consulting work for breweries and beer bars over the last couple of decades, nothing in the brewing process directly (mostly bespoke hardware and software solutions), but have had a great view into craft brewing.

it seems like there hasn't been any real technological progress in craft brewing since the 90's. in the 90's, there were unix based control systems, with X11 interfaces, for larger craft breweries, while smaller breweries were using notebooks and pens.

now, there are spreadsheets.

it seems like there's a lot of room for the booming craft beer industry to have a shake up in software.

> If I owned a single-family home and had a bunch of time on my hands, I'd probably engineer a drop box of some kind that shippers can drop my packages into, but that other people can't get them out of.

If you honestly gave that some thought, it's not an easy problem to solve. Otherwise, I'm sure that the Amazon Home Locker would be a thing.

The main problem is multiple deliveries - how do you make a box that can lock and unlock (automatically or otherwise) for -only- delivery companies and drivers, for multiple deliveries and packages per day - but not allow others to do so?

Remember, the drivers and delivery people have very limited time to deliver packages; they won't read instructions, or even pay nominal attention to them. You won't be able to give them (or the company) some kind of RFID key fob or other item to use to open the locker (because you are only a single address, not a large company with "pull power" and a contracted service agreement - and even then, maybe not). There's also the possibility of freelance or other kinds of "couriers" that likely drive their own vehicles and have no other delivery identification (I've had packages delivered to my door by cab drivers in a marked cab - supposedly shipped by UPS).

I recall one kickstarter where the idea was a "pad" that packages could be put on, but if the pad or a package was removed, an alarm would go off (it also had some kind of camera and email notification capability). IIRC, it got funded, but I have no idea how well the idea worked. Likely, it probably didn't work well at all - simply because delivery people probably didn't use it, or didn't understand to stack packages on top of other deliveries, etc.

I'd personally love a solution for this problem, and so would tons of other people affected by "porch pirates" stealing their packages. My solution is the old fashioned way: Have them delivered to my employer. But this solution isn't available to everyone, unfortunately.
What's interesting is that 32TB is becoming more and more affordable and the research material is roughly staying about the same size.

That might change though as people start including video + data within papers and have new notebook formats that are live and contain docker containers/ipython, etc.
