Somewhat offtopic, do you know of a library that would allow me to select an area of a PDF through a GUI and only read the text in those coordinates?
That's true but some of that could already be implemented in browsers itself. E.g. web page could request to be in a separate window with different icon and ask for OS-wide api permissions. Now we have to run several fully-featured browser (Elecron) instances, not sharing system libraries, under different versions. This reminds me "write once, run everywhere" Java with bundled binary JREs because of incompatibilities between vendors... But there is some progress - for example IBKR TWS client can't play sounds as it was linked with an old libavformat.so which I no longer have in the system. Browsers have most of libs statically linked.
"Discomfort."

That's not inaccurate, but it minimizes the impact of this scandal. It's not as if this was just a couple of bad apples who got caught. The reality is more ethically questionable.

Follow-up by the Atlantic: "reporters at the company were for years not only permitted, but frequently and forcefully encouraged, to monitor Blomberg's terminal customers for news" ; "... he used the function to surreptitiously track the movements of the CEO of Fiat as he traveled across the United States."

Terminal customers also included news agencies, their competitors.
Lots of academics are from different countries than where they work. I couldn't imagine not visiting my family over the holidays.
And what's with all the wisdom we can read often, like good ideas come when doing something else, having fun, being bored. Working all day every day is not necessarily the most efficient, even if we care about nothing other than academic output. A clear headed idea after a relaxing vacation may save more time than was lost with the vacation. After some point keeping "working hard" will devolve to busywork, procrastination.

Sure there are outliers who can work all the time, 12 hours every weekday, throughout the whole year, but those are very rare.

In practice, I think a lot of what such "hard working" people do is busywork or procrastination for a significant number of hours.

I've known successful PhD students who are very deliberate about their time. In the lab they only work, and put away time for regular exercise, social life and trips to interesting places to refresh the mind.
France fined Google € 150M “for abusing its dominant position”
Yes, but if you watch the news that fact is never reported. Instead you get story after story of robbery, murder, assault ...etc.

TV news stations care about ratings, papers care about circulation. Fear stories keep people watching/reading.
Poppycock and fiddle-faddle. We allowed these things and did it to ourselves.
Regular words work that way. Jargon words don't.

Jargon words are defined once, in an academic paper that introduces them, and then everyone else using the word in the jargon sense keeps using that exact definition. If the word becomes useless, they get a new word, since the old word still means—and will be preserved to forever mean—the old thing.

If you think about it, this is the only way that academia can "work" over a span of generations. We need to be able to differentiate statements about phlostigon from statements about calories; statements about the luminiferous aether from statements about electricity; etc. If we just re-used the word "phlostigon" for the concept of calories, we'd both render a lot of previous papers way more confusing than they need to be, and also make productive debate about which of the hypotheses is true basically impossible.

Anthropology (and so art/music/etc. history) is an academic discipline; words like "Brutalist" are jargon terms in that discipline. (They're also non-jargon words used by laymen like journalists, but that pretty much doesn't affect what the academics do at all.)

It all seems very obvious if you map it to your own discipline. E.g. if laymen, when they say "a matrix", mean some VR simulation thing, that doesn't change what it means when a mathematician says "a matrix", right?
Would you suggest the Chromatone for a tone-deaf drummer who's never touched a piano in his life? Or is it better to learn the traditional piano first?
Deploying CoreML Models Using Vapor
The most important thing to understand is that these time-series comparisons are much harder to analyze than they seem, because multiple variables are changing simultaneously. Consider, for example, the idea that you have to work more hours at minimum wage to afford to buy a house. Whether that's true or not, you also need to account for the fact that "minimum wage workers" make up a much smaller percentage of the population today than they did 30 years ago: https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2014/images/ted_20140403a.png

In 1980, 15% of workers (and 20% of women) had earnings at-or-below the federal minimum wage. Today, it's about 5% for both men and women. So "minimum wage worker" identifies a much narrower, and likely less skilled, group of workers than it did in 1980.

Also, who are those workers? Today, many are first generation immigrants. I think most people would agree that even in a fair economy, you would expect there to be some time lag during which new immigrants' incomes catch up to those of people with established roots in the U.S. (Even among immigrants who are college educated, for example, U.S. employers often don't give as much weight to degrees from unknown foreign schools.) In 1980, 6.2% of the population was immigrants: https://cis.org/sites/default/files/2018-09/camarota-imm-pop.... Today, about 14%. If you add economically-challenged people mostly to the bottom of the income distribution, obviously your median is going to go down. But when we think about these time series comparisons, we are usually thinking about the incomes of similarly situated people. If the percentage of the population that is immigrants is going up, you can have a situation where income seems to be going down, even though the incomes of people in each group (native born, immigrants) are both going up.

Changes in financing and interest rates also change the equation. To a great extent, rising home prices have been offset by declining interest rates (in part thanks to things like mortgage-backed securities). From the perspective of the home buyer, what matters is the mortgage payment, not the precise division between purchase price and interest. Mortgage payments as a percentage of income are actually down significantly since the 1980s: https://cdnassets.hw.net/dims4/GG/a9ec223/2147483647/resize/.... Rents, meanwhile, are up, but not as much as you'd expect.
Inflammation and temperature rise effect increase energy needed to propagate an action potential down an axon. Many anxiolytics also downregulate inhibitory neuronal firing (ie, GABA agonists (alcohol), GABA allosteric agonists (benzodiazpines), etc).
TFA does not state that Signal is more secure than WhatsApp.

They're switching to Signal because WhatsApp has a hard cap of 250 members per group, while Signal's group size is unlimited.

With the Conservative Party's recent election win, they now must communicate with much larger groups. If WhatsApp isn't an option, then Signal is certainly better able to "stem the flow of leaks" than alternatives like email or Slack.

Naturally, none of these prevent screenshots, so that's irrelevant.

rust-analyzer is effectively RLS 2.0 -- rust-analyzer development happens on the official RLS 2.0 working group communication channels. Assuming they don't "replace" the RLS name, the most likely outcome is replacing large amounts of code en-masse with rust-analyzer code.

There is little socialization at home - when's the last time (outside Christmas and Turkey Day) most families hosted a large gathering?

Hypermobility in the service of jobs has broken a lot of that cohesion. You usually don't live next door to your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts any more. This gets worse the more urban the area is - rural areas still have some of that cohesion.

Neighborhood socialization? Not in any apartment complex I've ever seen. Walk down the floor, eyes straight, avoid even basic salutations. It's slightly better in suburbia, but not much.

In the grocery store? Have you been to a large grocery store? It's not socialization just because there's a lot of people. What meaningful interactions are there in a grocery store?

This leaves church. And as it turns out, that's not everybody's cup of tea.

American's may not spend all their time in the car. They do spend exorbitant amounts of time in their care. They do have much less opportunity to socially engage than most Europeans experience. What social experience there is often needs large quantities of alcohol - and while I haven't seen any studies on the subject, I'm still holding the belief that at least a good chunk of that is due to needing to deal with the anxiety of an extremely uncommon situation.

As I said above, many of these factors are somewhat lesser in more rural communities, but they experience a large flight of the younger demographic towards cities, curtailing cross-generational interaction.

And that's not just an "uninformed view". I've spent several decades inside and outside the US, and seen a few cultures in the process - and that view holds. But let's dismiss that as anecdote, too, and look at actual data, time spent visiting friends per day[1]. The US is way down that list.

It's very likely car culture is far from the only reason for that, but the US is a country that seems fairly isolating.

I'm not sure what the seed has to do with anything. Every CSPRNG has a state which can be leaked, and while nominally larger than a typical seed, if a side-channel leaks 32 bytes then it likely can leak 512 bytes, 1Kb, etc. (The way the article distinguishes the "RNG" entropy pool from the "CSRNG" seems rather confusing and maybe a reflection of Linux' convoluted framework. Better to think of the whole framework as a giant, overwrought CSPRNG function.)

A proper CSPRNG offers forward security, which means if the state is leaked in the future then past outputs are still secure. This is usually accomplished by cycling the PRNG after output.

There'a also backward security (perhaps what you were getting at), which means future outputs are protected from past leaks. Of course, you need new randomness to achieve backward security. AFAIK, typical kernel CSPRNGs mix in new entropy on a regular basis (notwithstanding the implication in the article that on Linux this can be unnecessarily delayed). However, that's not necessarily a better thing. Daniel Bernstein has argued that maybe, depending on your threat model, you're better off with a purely deterministic CSPRNG after initial seeding: https://blog.cr.yp.to/20140205-entropy.html
Computers, not the internet, allowed for banks to issue and track huge sums of debt at near zero cost. This allowed land prices to trend up to the maximum possible amount that people could service the debt at.

This means people are now working as slaves for banks, making life pointless. This is why people are angry.

Seconding your though. A very good observation about this is that "letting masses into the internets" is very much like the historical period in Europe when popular masses got their hands on the printing press.

Did people immediately utilised the press as a tool of mass enlightenment, and began printing academic literature? No...

The very first popular printed literature were books on witchcraft and on Jew/Moor/Huguenot/Hussite burning.
I would like to know more about his recompile process. Is there a Unity tool?
Undeniably, this does not say that this test was conducted entirely within operational parameters - as I wrote before, it sets out a principle for taking tests seriously. It also, intentionally, suggests that you consider this test as being close enough to be relevant, and you have offered no argument against that.
Indeed, apparently the real reason they switched was so that they can have conversations bigger than WhatsApp's limit of 256 people. Good luck preventing leaks from a group that size!
My theory is that the business is more focused on getting contracts and sales, and getting in some useless magic quadrant than they are on actually providing a quality product.

I did an undergrad in physics decades ago, and it pleases me to no end to see that someone else has made this observation. Especially when dealing with quantum weirdness, the advice of professors to focus "follow the math" always seem to gloss over the extensive interpretation (Copenhagen and otherwise) that gave context and meaning to the math & experimental results.
> Or you use asyncio for network based stuff.

Only if you really need to. For 99% of network needs, using pool executors is simpler and easier than asyncio and it's one less only-sort-of-useful thing to have to learn.
There are companies that collect and sale employee information such as "the work number" they provide verification of employment as well as salary. Has anybody taken this kind of data set to answer these questions rather then surveying for bias mis reported data?
> Unfortunately, Signal doesn't allow group moderators to block individuals from taking screenshots, which would frustrate the process of leaking a conversation to the press.

Right, because there are unfortunately no longer any journalists with cameras anymore.
We could start another forum location as an experiment and see if this is just how these communities evolve. I suspect it’s like a watering hole- the site is a fixed location that some set of people will share. The people will come and go as they please, but some will hang around more, and be encouraging or discouraging to others.
I studied that book for my literature course in high school. That book is a joke. It tried to imitate the story of the buddha but twisted it to fit a western narrative. Author did himself a great disservice writing it. Would have been better off if he tried to just create something original instead.
I think we will really see how this plays out with starship. Just look at the number of iterations it’s gone through. I personally prefer to plan everything and think of every iteration and eventuality. But Whenever I do post mortems in my projects, I find that the most rapid learning came from putting on my knee pads and getting under the frame and getting grease under my nails and dust in my hair. Sorry for the analogies!
I'm not saying overall alienation isn't a fact. But the GP laid out a list of reasons why it was problematic in the US and my point was those reasons a) mostly aren't unique to the US and b) probably not as big a contributor to alienation as they think. The mentioning of the high incarceration rate was to address their specific reason that the US is somehow unique in no longer having cohesive family units.
Problem with results vs hours is that there are always unknown unknowns that will slow you down. So the employee will feel like their results sucked. And that their 8 hour day wasn't good enough, and they'll keep working. And everyone will do that and start comparing themselves to their peers who are working longer and longer hours.
I think you need to make the experience more concrete.

On the visceral side: put up some example videos of use. If you can't do it to the level of polish you like, get someone else to do it for you as an unofficial one. IntelliJ is already slow, and I'm worried about event-recording debuggers being only useful for small programs -- larger ones eat up too much RAM and cpu overhead to be tractable.

On the power side: show some sophisticated use cases using real libraries and real problems to fix. What stuff can I find out directly that I can't easily do in IntelliJ?

Can I directly query the DB? Can I use those queries' results in regression tests?

When I read the page, I thought "Oh, like the valgrind family of tools for Java, nice." So perhaps some pre-baked validations using the tech you've built could be useful.
So what if they are violent? Fascism is violent. They're not going to ask people to just eff off, they're going to force them, with violence. Seems to me like what we have here is the same class war we have all over the world. If you're not on the side of the oppressed and the provoked, you're on the side of the oppressor and provocateur.
It's a shame that, in the minds of many, OOP has come to mean only:

* chuck everything vaguely related in a class

* share code by using inheritance

IMHO, the way Java and C++ have been taught (in practice, if not by teachers) has done a disservice to OOP. So much so that many programmers now don't consider languages to be OOP unless they have the class keyword and inheritance.
Whataboutism would be to say it is okay for other countries to do it because the US is doing it. It is not whataboutism to say that neither should do it and that the US is getting away with it. Any criticism of the US seems to be met with accusations of whataboutism.
Haha it's not the first time I've made s spectacular long prediction. I correctly predicted Sarah Palin being the us vice presidential candidate a full six months before it happened.
Not necessarily, and that is the interesting thing about culture. Almost everything is offensive or extremely offensive somewhere in the world. Americans learn this when certain free-speech activities prompt riots in the Middle East.
A mouse model for human autism is contrived at best.

The cynic in me feels that some researchers are running out of ideas. The only experimental apparatus are poor knockout mice.

Arguably an analogy is trying to fix a compiled binary with a hex editor and replacing all your 0x11s with 0x0a. Then claiming the segfault is a good model of how another binary crashes (due to a null pointer exception or whatever really).

Yes, VirtualBox is an exception, because it does its own weird NAT.

VMware:

> The host computer has an adapter on the NAT network (identical to the host-only adapter on the host-only network). This adapter allows the host and the virtual machines to communicate with each other for such purposes as file sharing. The NAT never forwards traffic from the host adapter.

Libvirt/KVM:

> By default, guests that are connected via a virtual network with <forward mode='nat'/> can make any outgoing network connection they like. Incoming connections are allowed from the host, and from other guests connected to the same libvirt network, but all other incoming connections are blocked by iptables rules.

Hyper-V lets you connect from host to NAT'd guests, though the documentation doesn't explicitly say this. Parallels works this way too. Xen is a weird one, because it doesn't really do the NAT itself; if you follow the Linux instructions it'll work the way I describe.

I'm sorry, it never happen to me that got sticky, even when I cook it without rinsing it and without adding butter.

If you need to make them vegetarian and not vegan, I recommend eggs that are a good binder.

If you need to go vegan you can try with a starch binder, for example you can use cornflour mixed with water (I find easy to make a cornflour binder, by cooking some water and adding cornflour slowly with a strainer and mixing well, then cooking it until the consistency is dense enough) when it gets cold the cornflour mix becomes a gelatine ball.
You can try also using mashed potatoes, but you need to be careful with water.
Having had a child this year, my greatest fear was that it might be profoundly autistic. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to be stuck with a physiologically-broken child, for life, that is incapable of empathy or love for its parent.

I appreciate that's the sort of thing that happens at the extreme ends of the spectrum and not at all representative of many high-functioning autists, but I don't think it's terrible to have that as a fear.

Most autistic people aren't distinctly "low" or "high" functioning like that. They are otherwise fairly average people with a few traits that make things difficult, and appear "high" or "low" functioning depending on the environment they are subjected to.

Why don't you ask an autistic person if they want to be cured? Go ahead. Jump on r/aspergers and ask them. They will tell you to go fly a kite.
