Well, if it makes you feel any better, my website renders just fine on Lynx (no Javascript nor webfonts needed to render the page), complete with me putting section headings in '==Section heading name==', which is only visible in browsers without CSS. Browsers with modern CSS support see the section headings as a larger semibold sans-serif, to contrast with the serif font for body text. [1]

[1] There are some rendering issues with Dillo, with made the mistake of trying to support CSS without going all the way, making sure that http://acid2.acidtests.org renders a smiley face, but even here I made sure the site still can be read.

[2] Also, no cookies used on my website. No ads, no third party fonts, no third party javascript, no tracking cookies, nothing. The economic model is that my website helps me get consulting gigs.

[3] I do agree with the general gist of what you’re trying to say: HTML, Javascript, and CSS have become too complicated for anything but the most highly funded of web browsers to render correctly. Both Opera and Microsoft have given up with trying to make a modern standards compliant browser, because the standards are constantly updating.
That really does seem like the simplest, most boring explanation to me — some kind of camouflage/countermeasures/stealth technology that makes it really hard to recognize something or to get a reliable indication of its bearing or distance.
The technology will inevitably improve. Real issues will arise when facial-recognition becomes perfectly accurate (without false positives, racial bias, etc). Governments will be able to track citizens anywhere.
There’s a substantial portion of Ford’s customer base who would never consider buying a Chevy (and vice versa).

Nevertheless, we consider GM as a competitor to Ford when determining whether or not Ford is a monopoly.

There goes Rust I guess...
So, positing the video is authentic, which seems likely, here's what we know:

- This object, estimated to be 40 feet in largest dimension, exhibited flight performance beyond an F-18

- These objects exhibit long flight endurance, indicating a high density power source
- The object was solid, as it was detected by the Aegis radar

- According to the pilot involved, the object did not obey the laws of physics as we know them

- The object flew without visible airfoils - no wings or rotor - and at low speeds including a hover

- The object allegedly hovered as low as fifty feet above the water, although I don't think this was caught on video

- The object departed the scene in a way the F-18 couldn't match

- The object changed orientation without apparent regard for direction of flight

- The video clearly shows some kind of nimbus, exhaust, or field around the object

If this is a classified project of some government, they've likely discovered new physics.

Personally I doubt that's the case, and these are the product of extraterrestrials.

(BTW, to the grandparent - there's a lot that's not understood by current physics. Dark energy, and dark matter, for starters. A new baryon may have been discovered recently. Quantum gravity. Much more I'm sure...)

> There were actually two A-12s. The Lockheed A12

I bet this was made on purpose. USA has learned some tricks from Soviets with their "fake patterns"

F-117 wasn't a fighter, and A-12 was not a CAS aircraft. Pretty much like Kirov was not really an "auxiliary craft," and Tu-22 M-1-2-3 were all nearly completely different aircraft
For contemporary home HVAC setups, air exchange systems are already an option. There are also air exchange systems that trigger based on CO2 concentrations. They’re demand-driven because concentrations can vary day to day depending on weather conditions, including wind.
Do you have a link which might give further information about how the sandboxing that Firefox offers and the one that Chrome offers are different?

I was under the impression that they were very similar.
But which one? There are more than one translation out there
There was actually a study done by Todd Lu at UCLA that studies this exact thing at https://scaleatucla.weebly.com and it covers the entirely of the UC system's change from 1993 to 2014 as it shifted to administration-led. Most significantly it shows the downgrading of teaching to increasingly done by adjuncts.

This is a great idea, but so often it’s just one of multiple locations where app settings are located.
In mathematics I'd put forward the conjecture that "for every proven theorem you could ask at least 5 more similar questions which are unproven."

For example it is proven there are infinitely many primes. Are there infinitely primes that differ by 2? By n for any n? Are there infinitely many palindromic primes? Are there infinitely many primes of form n^2 + 1? Is there always a prime between n^2 and (n+1)^2?

If this is true then, assuming there are 200k proven theorems, there would be >1m unproven but readily stated theorems which would mean it wouldn't be too hard to find areas no one is looking into.
LOL, this is exactly the problem. You shouldn’t have to download a third party launcher, desktop, app screen to use the device efficiently.

I think iOS and Android are both shit shows. I pick up an android device and it’s a pain in the ass to figure out. That’s terrible design.

iOS seems to break their own rules and hide more and more in the name of minimalism. It’s asinine. 3D Touch was moronic. More than three gestures is moronic. Context sensitive swipes off the screen are moronic.

All of this became abundantly clear seeing my 77 year old grandma, who used a old android phone for years, have so many WTF moments on iOS 13. It’s not clear what is a button. She accidentally gestures and thinks her phone is busted.
Yes it’s more complicated but that’s how all security works and why security exploits are more expensive today than before. The reason this defense requires libc is because syscalls are not a function calls (you push args onto the stack and then trigger a software interrupt).

This defense technique is both simple (in terms of relative change from how things work today) and effective in that buffer overflows can’t ever call into the kernel but now instead have to go through libc which has had its location randomized on the application launch.

To provide this protection at the syscall layer would require some kind of randomization of how a syscall is performed which is something that has no prior art since that’s just pushing arguments into the stack and triggering an interrupt through a single instruction meaning complexity of the work is unknown in terms of how to secure a buffer overflow from being able to do that (ie harden an arbitrary process to not be able to directly jump into a syscall). Additionally because there’s no prior art the scope of that kind of change wouldn’t have the benefit of having well-understood behavior. Not impossible or prohibitive but raises the bar for the benefit you’d have to provide (& probably get a chip manufacturer and compiler vendors to go along with you). Also even if you could 3rd party binaries wouldn’t gain that protection magically. Putting this in libc is fantastic. Arguably Linux’s decision to treat libc as an external unrelated project and keep ABI comparability at the syscall layer prevents a protection mechanism like this.
P=NP is very likely to be true? I would say it's very likely to be false.

Why do I say that? Because it's possible to construct, say, SAT3 problems such that it seems impossible to solve them in polynomial time. If some problems can't be solved in polynomial time, then P!=NP.

Why do you think that it's "very likely" that P=NP?

Does that mean that linking against libc is mandatory and that applications are not allowed to bring their own version of libc along for instance when linked statically?
“Many” is almost underselling it. It’s literally EVERY web browser that anyone uses. I don’t know where people get these ideas. OP has a shallow understanding of programming languages, software development, and their history.

Since I frequently enjoy reading your comments, I know you don't feel that way ;-) However, probably for the masses it's generally true. We've kind of been here before, though. I mean there was a time where free (as in freedom) software was regarded as a complete joke. Only long bearded hippies used it and doing so was considered to be the high tech version of self-flagellation. Now, thanks to many people (with or without beards) we live in a world where choosing development tools that aren't free software is considered to be almost insane by most. OK, it's not Nirvana, but it's a heck of a lot closer than I ever expected we'd get.

Just as we did in the 1980's, I think we need to hold the fort and keep writing software. We need to write stand-alone applications that the user is in control of. We need to build alternatives to the stampede of needlessly cloud based offerings. And we need to keep chipping away at building federated, distributed applications where isolation is not an option. We have a long way to go, but that's always been the case for those that value software freedom. We should be used to it by now :-)

One final point: I think a lot of people will feel that we are a fringe community and can't possibly make an impact. Mastodon can not topple Twitter. Riot will never touch Facebook. This is probably true, but the more we write code that adheres to our values, the closer we get. We just need to keep chipping away. It is possible that one day at least some significant portion of the population will consider that the use of services controlled centrally by a single corporation is just insane. It might never happen, but if we don't keep building it's guaranteed not to happen.

I was in IT support during the Notes era working alongside notes devs. It was a grand vision. Perhaps too grand. Notes was supposed to do much more but I never saw it actually deliver in production. And between Exchange and GroupWise it got its ass kicked.
I should say that both of those are static sites.
Statically linked programs automatically lose this protection, apparently.
What every single transportation app fails at is recommending a route which is technically worse, but less crowded or otherwise more preferrable.

I dont mind commute taking 10-20% longer, if I can take a seat, or trade changes undeground for changes overgrond or avoid connections with high opportunity cost, where being late cost you 30 mins wait for a next train.

I enjoyed this profile of him in Chicago local TV.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvtqKMxZ95s

"For around the country mostly illegally riding freight trains" and "being exposed to a variety of ecosystems" piquing his knowledge, and reading science books in the libraries where he went, is quite refreshing.
not me, but my father's experience here:

He was on the way home from something in the winter with a sedan fully loaded with his friends, when a semi truck in the leftmost lane of a three-lane highway lost control of the trailer and it went sideways across traffic. He was in the rightmost lane and avoided crashing into the semi trailer by sliding his car into the concrete barrier and driving sideways on it, thus evading the semi trailer and saving him and his closest friends from what would've been serious injury and possible fatalities.

Driving sideways on walls is not good for vehicles- that stunt totaled the vehicle- every single body panel was damaged, the wheel rims were all toast, and the vehicle's frame and structure was not in good shape afterwards- but it did deposit its passengers on the other side of the trailer in one piece.

If my dad hadn't broken the rules he did- driving in the shoulder, driving with two wheels on the ground, pulling a handbrake on the highway, and excessively accelerating, he would likely not be around today.

Once when I was driving, I took a left-hand (cross-traffic) turn and a vehicle in the oncoming lane decided to speed up instead of slow down. If I hadn't stomped the accelerator pedal and burnt rubber, I would've had my first accident on my second day on the road.

This isn't to say that most of the stuff that people do is good, or smart- but performance envelopes of vehicles- how fast you can go from 0-60, 60-GTFO, and whatever speed you're going to dead stop matter quite a bit- not for normal driving, but for when it isn't normal anymore.

Speaking of which, my dad also once chased a driver who rear-ended someone and sped off to get his license plate number before he could escape- he hit about 120mph chasing the person across traffic long enough to memorize their plate number and make/model.
I was with you until you mentioned you don't use IRAs. Tax advantage is important!
But thats not actually what I asked. What are the benefits of minimally restricted availability of weapons or how do I find a "canonical list" of such benefits?

(also, option 2 is not possible either. What you propose is trending towards 2 has some scaling of benefit, and I believe the opposite: that removing as much as possible the possibility of gun violence will have far reaching de-escalating effects on police, politics, health, etc etc.) I just dont have a clear picture of how proliferation of guns helps to prevent gun violence except perhaps in the limiting, unobtainable case where everyone fears immediate lethal reprisal for any violent act?
Just looking at the numbers in the title, I assumed this article was going to be about AWS.

The numbers are roughly 35% of commercial cloud market share and something like 5% of all websites. (The actual numbers are 1-3% less)

But in light of the discussion here, I only see this as a good thing.

Amazon puts heavy pressure on the competition in the cloud market (and retail). Competitors like Microsoft and Google very quickly develop their own services to match those of Amazon, serverless being a great example. Or, take Walmart and Target’s foray into internet retail.

Amazon is a very interesting company. They constantly bring about new innovations and the market validates them often. And, competitors adapt to match their offerings.

I see Amazon as a company with quite a lot of growth potential left, but that’s not to say it will remain in the position it’s in. Just observing cloud market share, Microsoft is heating up, and taking a lot of those customers. As a consumer of both these products, cloud and internet retail, I respect what Amazon is doing. Even though I’m not a Prime member and only really buy books on Amazon, I constantly see their impact in pressuring other markets, and I benefit as a consumer.

Perhaps one solution would be to extract the plain text and the URL of the page only. That wouldn't take much space and would still be searchable.
Yeah. I'm definitely going to follow you for more updates. It will be interesting to slowly learn from you via osmosis as I've been interesting in developing browser games for a long time. Seriously impressive to see what today's tools enable creative people like you to do as a team of one.
I wonder if there is a potential likely scenario that one or more tech companies infiltrate the political system and slowly transform it into an evil techocracy. Maybe we are in that progress already.
I'm talking about in a RDBMS, MySQL specifically. I am describing the core sharded relational product tables of well-known social networks.

Lot of scope for worldwide improvement.

Looking at the top countries is a different important. But understanding the Flynn effect would be step one which isn't happening. There don't even seem to be any theories. When you can't even find crackpots YouTube talking about it, there's an issue.
This comment is extremely ironic considering it was an Intel processor that spurred the widespread use of JTAG and all the way up to Skylake Intel products had traditional JTAG connectors. These days they do JTAG over a physical USB port but I'm not sure how the shape of the port is supposed to matter.

JTAG on the NUCs actually led to a CVE as well IIRC.
But surely applications can make syscalls directly without invoking libc at all, by setting up the registers directly and directly executing the processor instruction that causes the right software interrupt? In which case the parent comment's point still stands: you can bypass checking that's at the libc level in a way you can't bypass checking within the kernel.
I have a desktop Windows only product that I sell (10s of thousands of clients). It does not have the most eye pleasing UI design but it is very functional and ergonomic. All possible actions are clearly visible and / or discoverable. And every action can be accessed in less clicks then in any of competitor's products. I actually get some praises for it.

Still every once in a while I get support email telling me that the product sucks "cause it is ugly". Most of those complaining were Apple users who installed a product using Parallels. One of the emails actually was written by pro UX designer (at least this is who the author claimed to be). This got me curios to find out what is really wrong in my GUI that irritates some users so I asked for short interview on Skype/Phone. We had a discussion. Among the things he showed me the example of light gray text on white background and told me that is very eye pleasing an mine are too contrast. For fuck sake I could not read the example he showed to me without glasses and when I complained he said that the beauty trumps usability/ergonomics. I just bailed out. Maybe he is right but I'll stick to what I believe works.
I'd suggest focusing on people and the problems they have rather than industry, your space, the news and your colleagues. That way you'll serve real needs rather than getting a ton of street cred as you dissapear down an academic rabbit hole.

> Checking should be at the protection boundary, the system call.

This doesn’t make sense, though. This would mean the OS would need to know the control flow of the program itself to figure out whether it “should” allow a system call to proceed.
that's not even clever.

not every contract is intended to exert monopoly power, but contracts can be and are often used to enforce monopoly power.

Another reason why they do that is because their partners require they don't advertise special pricing to the world at large, they're contractually forbidden from doing so.

I've frequently found that the way my script behaves in Gitlab CI is very different from running those commands one by one in a shell. In particular, environment variables do not carry over like you expect them to, but there are plenty of other surprised as well. I when working on the build pipeline I frequently find myself doing `git commit --amend`, `git push --force` over and over again to avoid having a billion commits tweaking my build logic.
I remember having to install standard system software updates through iTunes. In windows you have to press the "start" button to shutdown the machine, but in iOS you have to open a music player to upgrade your OS (or at least, it used to be the case). Which is worse?
