> Space-filling curves can be formalized via L-systems, resulting in a recursive, fractal-like pattern. More specifically, FASS curves, defined as space-filling, self-avoiding, simple, and self-similar. That is, a single, non-overlapping, recursive, continuous curve.

I guess this can't be combined with space-filling curves that form closed cycles, right? (example of such a curve: the H-curve[0])

for me, its one of the reasons why I prefer Telegram over WhatsApp. There have been numerous cases when my phone was dead or offline (being abroad/roaming, battery dead, etc) and I wanted to use my laptop to finish that important conversation.
The other one is lack of a native Linux desktop client for WhatsApp.
You can't ever assume that clients aren't logging everything that goes through them, even if there's no official documentation/API for custom clients. If a human can read a message, for all intent and purpose assume that a machine can too. For instance, things like Snapchat self destructing messages rely more on social norm than technology.

It is offensive, 100%. It's grouping and stereotyping people based on age, meaning that for example my parents are subject to it, despite growing up in communist Poland and not getting any economic benefits normally attributed to "boomers". At 28, I'm probably 10x "wealthier" than they were at my age, but of course they are "boomers" by age so fuck them for ruining the economy, right?

People don't like Telegram because it's a centralized thing and maybe not trustworthy. I'm not sure if I'd trust the Telegram founders, and their commitment to open source seems questionable to me (no server, outdated clients).

People advocate for Signal because it's arguably the least offensive of the available e2e options. Also the founder for Signal has a long history of doing good work in this area.
I never thought it could be an apology (it's kind of a material detail, they could still find books elsewhere), but rather a mix of sincerity (at least regarding his creativity), stimulation and joking.

One can make the argument that Google's "do no evil" was pure altruism. And indeed, it did go poof! the instant it conflicted with their bottom line. Astute comment, parent.
Thanks, looks like there's an -mmcu flag that gets passed to the compiler as well, telling it what chip the code is intended for.

I think the answers I'm looking for are buried in those specifications. Gotta check them out, one of these days...

> So Arduino programming is "just" C++ with additional libraries and an IDE.

Considering that flag, I think it's something more (or less) than just plain C++...
My counter advice to this is be mindful that simply by doing more is that you may make all the same mistakes that many have written about.

My advice is that if you want to have confidence in what you're doing, read more as well.

There are other flash "replacements", the one I like the most being Haxe [0] (transpiler to flash bytecode, javascript, and more) + OpenFL [1].

OpenFL replicates flash API [2], can work with Adobe Animate (formerly flash), and can use swf assets [3]. There are also converters from AS3 to Haxe, both available and not yet released (like the one used to migrate Forge of Empires [4]).

Haxe + OpenFL can export to flash player, HTML5 but also to native (desktop, mobile, consoles).

> "Silicon Valley" is a metonym for the tech industry generally

I dispute that. I've never seen it used in that way.
>How do you set the bounds of a conscious entity though?

Honestly, I believe there is a closed system inside us that is kept "alive" by bodily functions and kept safe from decoherence - somehow. I can't explain why. Some claim it's inside microtubules, but I'm currently lacking knowledge in biology/physics combo to trust the papers enough without diving more into the matter.

The concept itself does make sense and it's been a point of discussion of many physicists, I'd refer you too look at quantum consciousness theories, there are a few familiar names there that suggest it and the explanations will be far more detailed and accurate then I can provide. I'd say that the ability to influence a wave collapse is "free will" and it's related to intelligence, consciousness of the subject and current state of mind/body. And I'd say it's distributed, so even tho one might have a strong pull on the wave, the decision is ultimately made by summing the vectors of all beings focused on that particular result.

>How would it explain the persistance of identity across lapses of consciousness?

Now, that's a good question - especially if someone is 100% completely dead and comes back to life. I'd say your "soul/consciousness" know wheres to return when you lapse but on one hand, that's astral mumbo jumbo. Possibly brain patterns? My theory is that when you're born, the soul comes in and is "hashed" by current state of the universe (check out Jyotish, I know it's astrology but damn that shit got me wondering a lot of times), this effects your brain patterns and it keeps this unique "hash" until you die, then the next life is your soul being rehashed again (so karma still applies, hashes change but they're like a blockchain let's say - the next one is the result of the previous ones and their work).

So I'd say that activating the human body - biologically bringing it back to "conscious" state - starts a process that creates specific patterns which match the signature of your current conscious soul (consciousness, whatever) and entangles them. Complete comeback of someone who is really dead isn't possible because the system is so damaged and you cannot activate it to create that pattern again (could possibly be linked to DMT being released/bound and activated, which opens a port for your consciousness to detach.

Tried to keep it as short and understandable, so sorry about the non-scientific mumbo jumbo, but it provides great metaphors and shortens my thoughts - and I assume a lot of it is true, but boilerplated and snake oiled for generic masses.
That doesn't happen in databases. The standard incremental hashing algorithms (linear and extendible hashing) were devised for databases. Both of these algorithms split only one bucket at a time and thus avoid large allocations.
My experience about SF isn't that. All the wealthy startup CEOs want more homes in SF. And it bothers them that they're funneling runway into rent on their newer startups.
I don't know about that (meaning I really don't know, not that I think you're wrong). I know that a lot of time (and money) in nursing and hospital policy is aimed at the huge problem of patient compliance and what can be done to increase it. And I wouldn't doubt for a minute that insurance companies wouldn't love to "influence" policies toward lower-cost interventions using compliance issues as their leverage.

On long distance flights I always use the following hack in economy: I take the armrest separating me from my neighbor and tilt it almost fully up, so it forms about a 15 deg angle with the seat back. Now it's a headrest! Then I take the pillow, fold it and stick it in between the armrest and my head so I can lean comfortably.

Of course this requires kindly asking for permission from the seat neighbor. But most don't really care about the armrest as it doesn't provide enough space for two arms anyway.

These hand-drawn-look diagrams are starting to become a bit of a cliche.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. I don't want to be glib but I don't want to write paragraphs and your first line is indistinguishable from flamebait. The Elle example is relevant to a tiny sliver of the internet and how much money people make from ads isn't relevant to whether the practice should be condone/accepted. That it is not very effective is an argument against it, as we suffer for little gain, but since it is an externality to decision maker it is the defacto choice.

You can, but Acronym don't sell bespoke suits. Those are relatively well understood in terms of design, while a lot of the Acronym stuff looks like it would have required quite a bit of RnD. Factor in a very niche target market, plus that the price is probably more of a selling point than a downside in that segment, and I guess you get that kind of pricing.

I'm certainly not buying myself, but I also don't think they're just selling regular clothes at a spectacular markup. Whether their garments are any good, I have no idea.
Ah, that would make sense.

I actually thought the most likely intended meaning was that an algorithm in O(a^n) must take asymptotically longer than one in O(b^n) as n goes to infinity (if a > b), which isn't true. (For example, when a > b, then every algorithm in O(b^n) is also in O(a^n), but obviously no algorithm can asymptotically require more time than itself.)
It should be possible to turn an odds bet into an even-money bet with some financial engineering. Like "I predict that either we will have talking horses, or the last two digits in the Dow will be between 0 and 45." Probably there's a way to do it with cryptography too.

This only solves one of the issues you identify. But I've always seen LB as a publicity gimmick rather than a serious marketplace.

> ML and physics ... are both
concerned about the process of gathering and analyzing
data to design models that can predict the behaviour of
complex systems.

That's an interesting thought. When Kepler was looking at planetary data and trying to make sense of it, he was doing pretty much what an ML algorithm does, searching his hypothesis space for the model that fits the data the best. Einstein feels like such a genius because his hypothesis space was enormous, he was able to search in very interesting and original axes. And ad-hoc hypotheses are discouraged because they overfit to the data, and thus are unlikely to generalize.
Very nice article. I was distracted by mentioning themes right at the beginning, though.
Pretty favorable experience with working with this tool at $dayjob, all but the compiling of it. Luckily they release precompiled js/css files that are fairly straightforward to consume.

The downside is that the recording format is a bit of a mess and that you end up having to hand tweak things a lot in order to make the recordings pretty. I wish the tool had more in the way of cleaning up its own recordings so that wasn't necessary. There's a small cottage industry of tools on github around this, but none of them were exceptional enough to warrant a note here.

Problem with Afghanistan/Iraq is that the US lost the knowledge on how to conduct a war since WW2. There was no plan on how to fix/rebuild the country after the threat (Taliban/Saddam) was eliminated - which led to the Taliban rising again with public support and the Iraqi political landscape essentially fractured.

With Germany, in contrast, the priority was to get us up and running as a democratic society. Mostly this was a side effect of needing a stronghold against Communist-Russia dominated GDR, but still - had the US gone through with de-industrialization of Germany as some plans wanted to, Germany would have been in chaos again.

Low-overhead suppressed logging for the JVM
The way Wire does this, if I recall correctly, is that logging into your account (proving to the server you can authenticate) allows you to push up a new device public key, which you can see as your device fingerprint in the UI. A conversation between two users with multiple devices is really a group chat, with pairwise ("client fan out") double ratchet sessions going on.

When you do this, your other devices are informed of the account change by the server, as are people you communicate with (if they've previously marked your account as trusted, changing any devices on your account changes that). This isn't much different to Signal: ultimately the server acts as a key directory in both cases.

The problem with this approach is that it doesn't scale well at all. This is why Facebook, Wire etc are working on MLS (Messaging Layer Security) which is basically "add trees" so group chat scales better.

Surely to make a gamma laser, you at a minimum need a gamma mirror.

To my knowledge, such things don't exist (current gamma mirrors aren't 'shiny' - ie. they don't reflect the light, but instead diffuse it).
Someone replying to you claims they had a conversation with you, is that true?
Exactly. The org (and all constituent team members) needs to think about problems end-to-end.

When you notice a problem, setup monitoring to collect metrics about the problem and alert on it before it becomes a downtime. Have ops write down their experience with that problem into a playbook, then have dev figure out which parts of the playbook can be automated, or if the system design can be iterated to remove the problem class altogether.

If you're a dev and you don't listen to ops, you're just as doomed as an ops guy who doesn't read the dev's manuals.
One killer feature you get with asciinema & not with an MP4 is that people watching it can copy & paste from your recording. So they don't have to type out the same command you typed, they can just copy it into their terminal directly

I now live in a supposedly poor EU country - of course there are problems, but everyone is smart and healthy. It is the food. Adopt EU food regulations now.
> Sanitize servers ...

A side note here: that can be impossible on a cloudy service where your data may have moved between many nodes over its life, and difficult to guarantee in other circumstances. On future projects consider encryption at rest for all data then all you have to worry about is destroying all copies of the relevant keys. Still try a wipe at the end of course, in the name of security in depth, in case there are keys errantly floating around out there.

If you are performing a secure wipe, don't go OTT with 37 sequenced passes (if your threat model "requires" that then you have other matters to concentrate on!) don't make the final stage zeros: fill the volumes with cat pictures/videos, or if you are feeling evil use shock images instead. Give the cracker that tries to poke around something to look at!

> ... and services by trying to overwrite data with junk values before canceling

Also impossible unfortunately, though again you should try if only to show due diligence. Always assume that once your data is out there it is out there for good. Just like a delete is not often a real delete (just a soft delete where a "deleted" flag is set), an update often only affects the current value leaving it and any previous values still present in history or audit structures.

The words 'mass surveillance' in the project title seem to me sensationalist. From his repository list, I suppose the author is involved in ads and marketing, which would figure.
