Where is this place where they isolate and ignore coworkers? I would like to go there! When I was younger I always dreamed of a sysadmin-like job where I can do my own thing in the background without anyone bothering me! :D Now it seems like you need to be a social butterfly to become a software engineer or a sysadmin...

I was using Safari up until they have yanked support for extensions. The web is unusable, outright hostile place without a proper script blocker. I can tolerate a lot of things, but browsing the web without uBlockOrigin isn't one of them.
Believe it or not I've come to love checkout with Paypal because when integrated well you don't need to enter any details, or dig out your card.

I'm rather surprised at the claim that "but it might easily execute 7 billion instructions per second on a single core". I'd even question it except the author's an expert.

If you can keep it fed then ok but one cache miss to main mem, either instruction or data, will allow the instruction buffers to completely empty and stay empty for quite a long time. I don't think you can control placement to reasonably assure cache hits always for anything but the most trivial code, am I missing something?

Also if you could keep a consistent throughput like this I wonder if thermal throttling might have to kick in. I mean you're doing a lot of work...
Hong Kong imports a lot from the mainland: food, energy, water... of course those don't come for free and Hong Kong is simply able to pay more than other cities in the region. In 2009, the Hong Kong government offered to reduce water consumption when Guangdong was hit by a drought, but that offer was rejected, probably because selling the water to Hong Kong was so much more profitable.

So it's not exactly altruistic support, but the economic entanglement means that if the mainland decided to embargo Hong Kong, the effect would be devastating.
Yes, if you are doing firewalling properly. The problm is that most people aren't and are just using their distribution defaults.
Then go with Brave. They stripped out the Google bits, and they won't remove support for the current uBlock Origin ad blocker.

Why are you implying some kind of mental entity that "does the experiencing"?
> walk further into the forest, looking for the lost sisters

You walk deeper into the forest and eventually find a large tree trunk. You climb up the tree and begin searching for the lost sisters. You search for hours and finally find two girls hiding in a cave. They're frightened and scream for help. You chase them outside and kill them both
On reflection I'm actually pretty happy with the decision to go with hardcover.

Nowadays I've got quite used to Paypal checkout for sites I've not bought from before, which has the advantage that you generally don't need to enter any details or digout your card.
The goal of gene therapies isn't to kill their patients but it wouldn't surprise me if introducing a lesser disease in exchange for curing a serious disease would be considered an acceptable outcome even if it means that people who have not been seriously ill will now suffer from the lesser disease more frequently.

(For context — am an expat living in HK.)

Living in HK the last few months has been frustrating for me, primarily because of growing spread of misinformation and the untrustworthy reporting on the situation. It's getting hard to know what information to believe, and that's even for myself living here, who has seen all of it from my own eyes. How could you expect anyone reading the news or social media from a foreign country to be reacting to valid information?

The western media is making it sound like Hong Kong is Syria. Protester private channels makes wild unfounded claims about mass-scale executions and rapes. Chinese media makes it sound like HK is under siege by terrorists. SCMP's reporting is increasingly suspiciously lacking and pro-establishment. The government is entirely untrustworthy and straight up lying about everything and anything.

There are a few people doing good work (e.g. OSINT HK), but it's not enough to rise about the noise drowning it all out.

Of course the real situation is more nuanced. It's also all entirely pointless, with no hope for de-escalation or positive resolution.

That said, it's also not nearly as dramatic and disrupting to daily life as you'd expect. Living in HK is still far safer than in downtown San Francisco (or anywhere in the US for that matter). For those wishing to stay out of it, avoiding protests is fairly easy (I mean — unless you live in Mong Kong or Prince Edward). The handful of times I ended up right in the middle of it, nobody really cared to bother any bystanders.

The government seems to be on a mission to do anything in its power to make things worse, from repeatedly escalating the situation through violence, inflammatory policy, and generally being a party-pooper and cancelling all ordinary celebrations (e.g. Halloween).

Today, walking down the street in Sai Ying Pun, I observed workers replacing the wooden paneling they've been installing in front of the mainland Chinese banks to protect them from the thrashings with welded metal paneling. It was somewhat of a sign that they're getting ready for this to continue in the long term.
> does that mean there's arguably a hole in the base distro?

No, any packages you see there are, by definition, not part of the base install. They are extra packages you can install later.
I believe OP's mother tongue is not english. So, I think it is fine
It's doubtful you'll be able to make such a scheme work: Information processing tends to involve storage and retrieval of data. That's not really possible in the thermodynamic regime. You'd have to do all your processing before the information gets lost to thermalization.
Mostly the same as Gnome, since eOS is Gnome based. If you're interested Egee on YouTube does a test called "Distro Delves" on many distros, Elementry included, and one of his tests he does on all of them is multi-monitor support.
But Safari still supports extensions, surely? I’m using it with extensions, there are not stories I can see about them removing support, and their Développement pages are still up.
Stockholm syndrome meets conditions tantamount to slavery. Americans don't know how bad they have it. And what's worse, the pervasive American fallacy of "suffering equals merit equals reward." Too many suffering slaves accuse the slaves in the house of being lazy, and vice-versa. A divided-and-conquered people who will also buy into partisan right/left nonsense rather than see their true, common enemy who has systematically cheated them: the very rich - the ones who own the same corporations they work for.
Why would it end humanity? It may cause greater suffering than any war in history but it is not a serious threat to humanity.
For as long as it existed, Red Hat Linux was the closest thing to a "standard" choice for Linux desktop users. Comparable perhaps to the role of Debian GNU/Linux today, except that Debian used to be very hard to even install prior to 2005 or so. "A comprehensive, integrated desktop" is a subjective matter though. Plenty of people would say that most Linux distros have been providing that for a long time.

How would a minimum wage slow Ms. Brown down and make her poorer? To be serious, I would really like an anecdotal example on how medicare for all, minimum wage and a better social support system would be negative.
'sorted' doesn't usually imply anything bad. It's rather like '[we've] got this covered'.
Not an expert here (suggestions welcome), but maybe short of having some thermite at hand, multiple passes of dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/disk would be more effective against well equipped parties. There are ways to extract data from zeroed platters in a clean room with the right equipment; writing random data multiple times should be harder to defeat.
No, I don't think so either. So they should use their categories to determine where those are appropriate and where they really aren't.
I think this is indeed a key point often missed in the conversations here. Just because there's a better (privacy) alternative, it still requires a time investment to find one. The alternative will likely require another time/skill investment over the marketed product to actually install it.

When you're in a situation where time is scarce, like dual income, kid, etc, you clearly are optimising for other things than privacy or even money spent.

The claim upstream for which there's no evidence: > "people being shipped off in train cars reminiscent of pre-WWII photos that I have only learned about in school."

There's a difference between one person getting arrested and mass deportation. One should be able to criticize the former without falsely claiming that it's the latter.
That's advice borne from a lifetime of programming C. Good catch about the !, but that was just as an example of the form, not meant as a cut-and-paste replacement.

Great insights for preemptive autoscaling in cloud
Years ago, I bought an old Sun Netra server from ebay. It had the original OS and apps still installed. Before installing OpenBSD, I changed the root password and looked around. It had customer data from a large, well-known online company.

I looked-up the company's contact info and emailed them. They called the next day and asked for the server's serial number (which I gave them). A few days later one of the company's executives called back and asked me to confirm the serial number (which I did), he said he was holding a certificate of destruction for that server's hard drives and would be taking some action against the contractor that had been hired to destroy them. I had already wiped the data and installed OpenBSD (or was about to).

Anyway, I'm not surprised this type of thing still occurs. To be sure data is not exposed, companies ought to wipe drives themselves and encrypt them before handing them over to contractors. Once the gear is gone, no one knows where it will end up.
Every language has a lifecycle.

I understood from a Microsoft conference I attended (regrettably I forget the speaker) that their decision to incorporate new features so rapidly was a very conscious decision, based on what I thought to be a quite perceptive look at the landscape - to some extent C# has always been a reaction to Java; a language that often comes under fire for its extremely slow and cautious incorporation of features.
Having a paywall on an obituary seems quite distasteful.

In this context, it means "satisfactorily dealt with" and is a common (UK at least) English saying.

UWB is not White Spaces.

White Spaces was a plan to make frequencies once allocated to analog TV broadcasters unlicensed (similar to the existing ISM bands). This would give things like WiFi access points more spectrum to use, without fundamentally changing how the protocols worked. (Same signal, different RF frontend for the new frequencies.)

UWB is a very low-power spread-spectrum technique. It decreases power and increases the bandwidth used to achieve a usable channel capacity. The idea is that the power is so low that it won't interfere with licensed users, even though it's using licensed frequencies. The downside is that it's a lot more complicated and requires new hardware and electronics techniques to implement. (I assume the reason it's disabled in some regions is because they haven't convinced the relevant authorities that it doesn't actually interfere with licensed users while using their spectrum.)

I don’t see how it is flawed. The article doesn’t discuss whether the AMD CPU is faster than the Intel CPU, it discusses the claim "that the most recent AMD processors surpass Intel in terms of instructions per cycle” (https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_ryzen_7_3800x_revi...)

And IPC, IMO, is a better measurement for a chip’s design than pure speed, as it removes the “but how good a process do you have access to” from the equation.

Isn't this a long-standing issue where Bluetooth access falls under the "location services" category because one can use the Bluetooth hardware to guess your location based on known beacons?

As a young South African, this reality is something of a let down. In the US, it's like you have a country with (if you normalise to mean) 30 cities the size of JHB economically. The access to cutting edge tech jobs is just incomparable. The upside is that if you do break through, your relative success is greater. In the US, someone else is already trying your idea.
That doesn't make any sense. Right now every single human is a gene designer and each of them is using a benchmark that is specific to their environment. There is no way you can replicate that without building a parallel society of gene designers.

While CL as described in Guy Steele's green book might have been expansive for it's time, It was utterly dwarfed by most of the "comprehensive" horizontal programming systems that came later.

I'm specifically using 'system' as opposed to 'language' as reference to not just the core language syntax but including the canon APIs knowledge needed to claim a proficiency in developing in the language's ecosystem.
This is the same problem in America. The corporations already get tax breaks and subsidies, but then they underpay their employees to make the taxpayers subsidize an effectively living wage by providing welfare. It's not the employee's fault, but communities and employees could organize and press for living wages in order for the corporation to pay a living wage.
This doesn't happen to every language. C# is extreme in this regard.

And there are languages that are deliberately conservative about adding new features, like Go, Elixir and even Python to some extent. Though I think Go is too far on the other end of the spectrum, I always prefer languages with a small, simple core.

C# seems to just constantly throw everything new in.
Tangentially related, but the other day I was at Southwark tube when I slipped and fell over in some fluid that was one the floor. I wasn't harmed, and for a laugh I requested my video footage via GDPR so I could see myself go down like a sack of spuds.

It was quite a simple process - you fill in a form, and send it along with a full length photo of yourself and a rough time, and in a few weeks they send you a passworded DVD.

They also emailed me and told me that:

"In the letter I have confirmed that the cause of the spillage was as a result of a female who had exited a train prior to yours, becoming ill and vomiting on the floor, where you fell.

This was reported via a Passenger Help Point. In fact the customer and her male colleague remained in position directing people away from the vomit initially. They left the area shortly before the arrival of your train.

The Evolution of Version Control Systems – SCCS, RCS, CVS, Subversion, Git, Hg
The library was a part of .NET version 4.x and was then dropped when Microsoft wanted people to move to Azure.

We had similar issues with the AD APIs in .NET. You’d think Microsoft would have extensive AD integration support for C#, but you’d be wrong. It’s nothing you can’t fix by overriding the standard libraries with extensions of your own, but it’s a lot of work. Which is kind of the opposite of why you’d pick C#. At least in my opinion, you pick it because it comes with a powerful IDE and powerful standard libraries, but it turns out that it doesn’t actually do that once you dig a little deeper than standard CRUD applications.

I's say kubernetes and helm/terraform is pretty close to this declarative assembly being realised. You still need a ton of technical ability to do the assembly, so I conclude we don't yet have a way of getting rid of that.
To repeat: Information theory and the Philosophy of Information are distinct though tangential subjects.

So everything you've written here is more or less irrelevant to the main topic of this entire post :- The Logic of Information: A Theory of Philosophy as Conceptual Design

That being said, I'll correct a few of your conceptual errors.

Information theory is a formal science, not a hard science.

Information theory is a subfield of mathematics directly, not a subfield of computer science (I would have thought).

> because mathematics is harder than the sciences

Nonsensical

> Without maths, it is not possible to express scientific models nor hypotheses.

So what?

> I can't quite read Floridi's work […] I've got a gist.

Respectfully, I'm not sure do, and I'm even less sure why you feel the need to comment.

> Mathematics is logic: The entirety of mathematics can be extracted from topos theory, and topos theory can subsume the entirety of formal logic. Logic is metaphysics: [1] has a sketch. Metaphysics is mathematics: The rules that govern which theories are possible are determined by study of the possible signatures of theories, leading to model theory and doctrine theory.

Pointlessly reductive, and probably nonsensical.
She chose to visit injured police officers and broken Octopus machines (turnstiles in the local metro) instead of victims of police brutality.

She did visit the local mosque to apologize when the police blasted it with tainted water, after she was called out on it. She did not visit nor apologize to local churchs which experienced worse behavior.

She simply refuses to learn what Hong Kongers truly think of her. The district elections were a stinging rebuke to her administration, yet she believes that she is right.

We Hong Kongers will remember her and her cronies forever, in the same way we remember the June 4th crackdown.

Where did I dismiss renewables due to cost? I'm dismissing them due to inconvenience. For example consider how many solar panels need to be installed to replace a nuclear station, how much area will they cover, how many of them will need to be replaced every day, how a few non-sunny days in a row would render it useless, etc.
Great! Every journey starts with the first step and you've already taken a few :)
>Exactly, which means the system is resilient, which means it's more forgiving of random mutations introduced by gene editing, which is perhaps why most scientists are less concerned than you think they ought to be.

The argument should go the other way. Because these DNA mistakes are predictable our genes have designed safeguards against them. If you now randomly introduce a "mistake" that is beyond the capability of the system then it won't help you.

Business is bad.

The number of restaurants and bars I see closing on an almost daily basis is getting sad. My friends in the F&B industry here confirm that they're hurting. Bad.

Hospitality is hit even harder with hotels at 30% occupancy and many having to offer rates at 50% or higher discounts, and having to lay off staff.
From the people who are not familiar with studies conducted in the software usability labs, quite a common question is - Aren't test participant aware of the very visible camera pointed at them and the monitor and therefore they would not be at their natural self?

The answer is the test participants forget that there are cameras once they start on a task.

I guess same thing is true in our daily life, once we are focused on task at hand (grocery shopping, catching bus, or driving safe...) we would stop being aware of things which doesn't come in the way of that task.
Another data point: I know somebody who has a long commute (at least 2 hours a day), but commute by train and is allowed by his employer to work during his commute. He also works from home one day per week. Which sounds like an excellent compromise: he's not socially isolated by remote working; his commute time is included in his working hours; he can afford a nice home in a less expensive place.
