Gratitude. Look around you and consider all of the things that are going well for your. Your nice remote gig, your fridge full of your favorite beer, the sunny day outside, your healthy family.

Do that at the start of every day and really meditate on awesome it is that you have those things. Sincerely and quietly thank whoever you feel is responsible for them.

I've always wanted to build a little hobby project where I put TECs on top of my wood stove and have a radiator outside with coolant to get a nice big heat difference (maybe 100C to 200C) across them and make power in winter when solar isn't so great in the Yukon.

I know it won't be a massive amount of power, but given it will be 24/7 for about 6 months of winter when the wood stove runs, I think it will be a useful amount.

Does anyone know where I can buy TECs that will handle extremely high temperatures like this?

All the ones I see say they're rated at about a max temp delta of ~67C-72C

As much as it has been ridiculed, those GDPR data exports seem like a good use-case for RDFa or microformats:

The exports need to fulfill two use-cases, which seem often at odds with each other:

1) Provide the data in a well-known, easily machine-readable format, so it can be imported by an alternative service.

2) Provided the data in an easy to understand human-readable format, so users - even non-technical ones - can understand what data was collected.

JSON is a good format for machine-readibility and is relatively understandable for technical users - however, as the article explains, without the schema, it's difficult to be sure what many fields actually mean. Also, for non-technical users, it's not always clear how to open JSON files and, if unformatted, they might be hard to inspect without specialized software.

HTML on the other hand is very good to present data in a self-explanatory and understandable way and us even relatively easy to parse. However, the structure can be completely arbitrary, so for import, you'd effectively have to write a scraper for each data item and update it each time the formatting changes.

Seems to me, you could solve both problems by exporting everything as HTML file but reuse already known data modelf and annotate the actual data with a standardized notation.

My thinking was why require an intermediate processing step of the moc, if the core c++ is capable enough. Other toolkits like gtk does not seem to require intermediate compilation step too. Also the QObject stuff added by qt is quite mysterious atleast on the first look.

Also using the moc is a bit similar to using complex preprocessor-macr-ridden c code, which to me is an antipattern.

> And there is nothing inherently inefficient about the Linux kernel.

The first thing that comes to my mind is the user space networking drivers for linux [1]. They aren't very ergonomic, but the massive speed increase that is possible shows how inefficient normal linux networking is.

The promise of unikernels is the speed of user space networking but with good ergonomics.

Like I said earlier, if I had to bet, I'd bet on Linux.

But there is work to be done.

And, of course, let's not forget:

- Free Computer Science degree-like path at [1]

- Free collection of Math resources at [2]

As a self-taught person, I recently started attending a college for computer science. I don't need the degree, but I wanted the knowledge. Granted, I'm just at the end of 1st year, but a lot of what is being taught is nothing more than giving formal definitions and formal names of things I've already taught myself.

So, I truly believe there are so much free good education out there for you. All you have to do is have the right mindset to get it.

You don’t need a valid passport to land in Beirut, at least that’s my lived experience.

I have dual citizenship, I was born in XX. Our Lebanese passports had expired, so my mother and I used our XX passports to fly into Beirut several years ago—I purchased a visa upon touching down, but boarder control insisted I return it, they recognized my last name [1]. Leaving two days later without being able to produce evidence of military service (I was 17 at the time) was a nightmare, and the XX government would not help seeing as how this was not their problem (the curse of a dual citizenship), but I got lucky (see [1]). Come to think of it, Lebanon was in such disarray at the time, it would have been nearly impossible to renounce my Lebanese citizenship—even today, I have no idea what the first step would be.

[1] I’m no Ghosn, but my grandfather had toyed with the idea of running for federal office in Lebanon at the time.
Is this below saying the kernel context executes within the container? A Hypervisor being communicated to via each container is a security nightmare. The idea is to isolate the container so it can't make any type of hypervisor calls by not making the HV API available to the running container.

"Unikernels consist of a specialized, single-address-space machine image constructed using only a modular stack of libraries required to run an application. That approach allows a secure, fixed-purpose image to run directly on a hypervisor or bare-metal hardware without an operating system such as Linux or Windows. "

The article also claims he entered Lebanon on a fake (or at the very least not his own) French passport.

> putting an app in a unikernel may be about as clever as possible for a great many software engineers.

I think the traditional argument is that, with a unikernel, you can cut out a lot of the traditional OS systems that you may not care about. In theory, this could reduce your overall system complexity.

This may not really be a difference in the future anyhow: with the success of BPF programs, it may be possible to get pretty close to a unikernel while still sticking with largely vanilla Linux.
The act of computation can be done with abacuses, gears and mechanical linkages (Babbage difference engine and other mechanical computers), fluid logic, and a variety of other mechanisms. The means of implementation has little to do with the mathematics of computing itself.

> I am using some fairly simple word analysis techniques (most of the effort is scraping the data from these sites and deciding what constitutes a real news story) and most of the language on the BBC and the Guardian are similar. I suspect that most of them just copy and paste stories tbh.

There is a more serious underlying problem you've spotted, which is "jounalism as stenography". Lots of people can put out press releases, which then really do get copy-pasted into articles. Same with "wire copy" sourced from AP or Reuters. This can be abused by bad actors to get obvious or difficult-to-refute falsehoods into the public memetic consciousness by repeating them.
That's a cool idea.

So on the topic of Monero there are two parties that I mentioned: Europol and chainanalysis companies. Europol, a government agency, can be incentivized to lie about their investigative capabilities to help with their investigations. They detailed how they cannot track Monero, but lets assume they are lying.

Chain analysis companies advertise their investigative abilities in order to attract business. By theory alone they cannot track Monero transactions, and in practice, they are not advertising that they can while they do advertise how they can follow transactions on surveillance networks like Bitcoin. This is a second confirmation that Monero works as private digital money.

This part is a cat and mouse game, all while Monero continues receiving software updates to improve its use, via open source pull requests, which bolsters confidence I have in the system as it doesn't exist in a static state. A lot of people analyze the digital asset ecosystem in a current or prior state and dismiss them based on that.

I think that is enough ammunition for you to investigate further to come to similar conclusions without you needing to trust me or buboard.

But if you would like to dive deeper on why these parties are not able to follow Monero transactions in both theory and practice, there are some books on the subject and then code you can compile yourself to test it out. That's typically what we are referring to when we say trustless, the independent verifiability.

A further issue is the budget airlines, leading to pointless flights piloted by under-qualified flight crew. Flying used to be a privilege.
I think UAVs are great but not everyone is Type 1 CAS qualified. Someone could correct me but I think most UAV strikes are Type 2 or 3. A Type 1 CAS has to visually confirm the location of the target, friendly, and the approach angle. Most pilots, SF, and a lot of ground troops are but not all. And they are often not in a position to be able to confirm everything. Calling in CAS is a great responsibility in that you are accountable for every bomb or missile dropped.

Building a Paul trap for dust particles may be a fun weekend project, but calling this a quantum computer is complete nonsense.

There were in the past roles for a navigator and even a mechanic on board of airliners, but they were removed a long time ago. Now all the work is done by the 2 people in the cockpit and there is plenty for both in the take off, approach and landing phases.

I am not even sure where to put just another display in the cockpit that is already overcrowded. Or two displays, one for each station. Maybe it can be squeezed, but the efficiency may be zero or negative. Just imagine a plane is far more complicated than a car, having hundreds or instruments, gauges, buttons and lights. Even learning how to use all these takes tens of hours, adding more you can create an nightmare from a bad situation.

LE. There may be some solution, especially for modern digital cockpits, but there are hundreds of thousands of planes without a digital cockpit and with no way to upgrade them - they are not computers with standard interconnects like PCI, USB, COM and LPT ports, most smaller planes don't even have a standard cockpit layout and set of instruments. For example I piloted a few small planes of the same make and model, there were no two alike in the cockpit equipment.

That same box was then flown to Turkey in a private plane, with him in it.

It’s reported that his wife arranged the entire affair.
He entered Turkey with a fake passport, maybe the Turkish government issued him a new valid Turkish passport? And I would have to think he already had the OK from the Lebanese government to travel there and stay there without being extradited.

The Netherlands has done a great job investing in infrastructure, but it's not really a typical place. Even when you include all the land set aside for farming and nature, the population density is very high. The region here is about the same physical size and has ~300,000 people. Dedicated infrastructure is often helpful, but there's not the resources or justification to build it everywhere.
Matthew Green has a related post about this speaking to “multiple encryption” where people do the same thing with ciphers. [1]

A very generic take would be that depending on the system, it may be able to be done securely, but with all crypto there be dragons.

For example, let’s say you have two hashes H1 and H2 and want to use the double hash to prove existence of a file in history. Publish the hash to a blockchain or something.

So the file is hashed H1(H2(file)). In what ways could you break this if one of the hash functions is broken?

The first way is if you want to dispute the validity of what file was hashed. If we assume they later publish the file and you have a second-preimage attack on the hash.

You can create a different file where H2(file) = H2(newFile), and because H1 is deterministic, this second file verifies. It’s now no longer clear which is the true file. While a single hash function also fails under this attack, you increase your exposure to possible attacks by introducing a second one.

If you have control over the verification procedure you can imagine a similar attack with only a break in H2 by not even using H1 to generate the output.

I'm always skeptical of this claim (and yes I do know vim fairly well). Programming isn't that much typing. For every burst of typing there's probably an equally long or longer lull where you are leaning back and looking at the screen or sketching something out on paper.

If your productivity is limited by how fast you can type then you are either a far, far better programmer than most people or your skills are being under utilized.
