It's not one-time pad encryption if you use data from a PSEUDO-random number generator. “One-time pad encryption” only applies when a true random stream is used as key, otherwise it's just a block cipher with a particularly inconvenient way for the user to store the key.

Or are you claiming that there's a risk in the future someone will find how to predict what output true random generators produced when they generated the key?
Is it sad to admit to BBC satirical news programmes. This generally works - they cover the "biggest" stories of the week, and if it strikes a chord I can go google for more.

However it failed spectacularly a few years back - A political enemy of the UK prime Minister David Cameron had written a book claiming Cameron had put his (Cameron's) penis into the mouth of a dead pig for a university prank. This had been banned from being repeated in UK media but twitter and non-english sources were full. So satirical programs were simply full of jokes about pigs, oink oink noises and more. They got hilarious reactions from those in the know but I simply had no idea why - it was weeks before the explanation broke somehow

Yeah that is exactly my point. In many cases all the extra work you put into writing Rust code for the additional performance is just that: extra. It doesn’t add any meaningful value to the final product, and it comes at the opportunity cost of that time you could have spent adding or improving features in a more productive language.

Perhaps 1 in 500 cyclists in Copenhagen will use the road, even when it's congested. Even then, they usually do it only at the junctions, to get to the front or make an illegal turn on red.

Part of this will be cultural, Danes are relaxed and good at following rules, but it's also because it's less stressful just to wait until the next change of the lights, or go 20% slower and not have to pay attention to the cars.

As someone also working in the Java obfuscation space, it's cool to see old obfuscators becoming open-source.

This is exactly why I hate Waze: people "scooting around" are exactly the worst ones to have on residential back-roads, where children might be playing, people sleeping, and where there's less often a cycle path.

Fortunately, traffic engineers in the larger European cities sometimes block off residential roads to cars to prevent "rat running".
It's not slow by any stretch of the word compared to the rest of the web.

A clean reload transfers only 300kb of data that uncompresses to 670kb. Of that 223kb(570kb uncompressed) are fonts which are heavily cached and change rarely if ever. DOMContentLoaded fires after 80ms.

Subsequent loads are completely cached.

I saw a proposal a long time ago on TEDx or something on how the military should be split between people who fight wars and the people who support wars. The premise was that the supply and support mission should be handled by the department of state in times of peace and the department of war in war. Things like supply ships, bases, hospital ships, aircraft carriers, merchant marine, peace corps, etc all go to providing aid in peacetime and supporting the military in times of war.

Maybe I'm naive, but I always thought it was a nice way of approaching the rest of the world. In reality, the most effective militaries in history have been the ones where everyone can fight.
I think that Chess is still interesting for many people because of a) rules are easy to understand but game is hard to master; b) there is a social aspect of playing against human being face to face.

Qt Creator doesn't even get involved in the build once it has started qmake - a qmake .pro[ject] file is nothing like a Visual Studio project file. You are supposed to make edits other than adding or removing source files by hand. So you really don't need Qt Creator for moc.

Note that qmake is generally easiest for tiny programs such as bug reproducers. For anything nontrivial, it's better to use CMake. Most advanced functionality in qmake is undocumented and weird. Qt itself is moving to CMake with Qt 6.

Amazing inputs.

I'd also suggest a top-down approach where you start with a flexible end goal you'd want to achieve (e.g. be a full-stack dev), in which case you can start by babystepping a hands-on approach (e.g. learning javascript, learning client-side and server-side of things). Complimentary fundamental course outlines can also help, e.g. Comptia A+ gives you hardware fundamentals, Comptia Network+ gives you networking fundamentals, CloudAcademy can get you started on working with cloud providers like Azure/GCP/AWS, and so on and so forth.

It's easy to get lost in the theoretical side of things, being able to test them out in action as soon as you can could give you quite an ideal balance.

A little, but you can balance the obfuscation's complexity so that the HotSpot JIT is able to inline the transform.

Of course, this comes with a trade-off that custom deobfuscation transformers will also be able to inline these, but that's theoretically possible for every transform, anyway, since you can try some symbolic execution until you get the string values back out.

After finally cutting myself off of Twitter, my main source for news has been the Wikipedia current events portal:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

It's as close as can possibly be to unbiased, only lists significant events, and it covers world news rather than only focusing on America.

My secondary sources are reddit's /r/OutOfTheLoop, and the chyrons I see whenever I happen to walk by a TV that is playing the news (I learned of the Trump impeachment this way). If something doesn't come up in one of these three sources, it's probably not important enough to be worth the stress/anxiety that following the issue would cause.
"AlphaZero trained to play very aggressive romantic style.

[…]

I think you could do this by changing the value function”

The essential thing with AlphaZero is that it doesn’t have a value function that you can change. It learns it from the games it plays against itself.

The best you could do is train it by playing against some algorithm that plays aggressive romantic style (playing against humans playing aggressive romantic style would work, too, but that would make for slow training)

I doubt that would produce an AlphaZero that itself plays aggressive romantic style, though.

Edit: one thing that _might_ work is to, during training, change the rules of chess to “both players lose if the game lasts over N moves” for some small N (40?). That should put incentives on aggressive play. Disadvantage would be that AlphaZero would learn very little about endgames.
You were the one that brought up the provenance, by erroneously classififying Xinu as "new work without that history". Now you are trying to have your cake and eat it by trying to hand wave away the very thing that you yourself brought up.

Quite clearly, something from 1984 (actually earlier) is not "new work", and has a history: a history that pre-dates by half a decade even the very invention of one of the major free software copyright licences.

If you do not understand why the non-existence of the GPL at the time of first publication is relevant to the history of something being copyright licenced the way that it is, then you have a lot of computing history to learn, including all of the things that the world went through after the first publication of Xinu when it came to ideas in software copyright licencing. Xinu dates from a time when in order to run BSD one had to have an AT&T source licence.
As the article explicitly shows, private medical research very much follows academic thought, because of the same incentives that makes public funding a political game.

There is in fact no fundamental difference between a manager deciding what projects to take on and a bureaucrat deciding which projects to fund from public money - in both cases, the person doing the decision is not using their own money, and they don't have the full qualification to make the best scientific decision. Even if they do, they are held responsible by people who do not (upper managers / higher level bureaucrats), who will evaluate them more on the process they followed than on actual results (especially as results are likely to be far off).

Even though 'a company is putting its own money behind the research', it's still people who don't own that money taking the actual decisions. Even start-ups are usually not using 'their own money', but investors' money, with the investors taking the role of grants approvers.

There are a lot of factors you're not considering. Reducing heat output is good, yes, but putting a layer between your chips and their heat sink is bad! Even though the total heat output is lower, the chip temperature will be higher, because it will be more insulated. There is no way around this; any heat-to-power device acts as insulation compared to a plain heat conductor. You will also have added weight and cost. In a phone, where the heat differences are small, the electricity gained will be almost nothing. So actually we're not likely to see this in phones.

> how the military should be split between people who fight wars and the people who support wars.

Logistics win or lose wars. The support is the most important part. Arguably the people "fighting" wars (or at least vulnerable to incoming fire) should be reduced to as close to zero as possible, replaced by drones of various sorts.

Strategic bombing has never recognised this distinction, anyway. Both sides in WW2 spent extensive effort bombing each other's supply lines and factories. The 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, the notorious Benghazi incident, etc: does that count as "fighting"? Most of the US wars since WW2 have been lost during the occupation phase due to the difficulties of COIN. There's no glamour of "fighting" there, it consists of spending years going to work in an office but never forgetting to check under your car.

> Things like supply ships, bases, hospital ships, aircraft carriers, merchant marine, peace corps, etc all go to providing aid in peacetime and supporting the military in times of war.

There is no such thing as peacetime for the United States. https://www.globalresearch.ca/america-has-been-at-war-93-of-...

I don't disagree. Except this was dealing with Ford HQ to resolve an extended warranty disagreement. I also had to do something similar with the first luxury car I dealt with. You see, extended warranties climb up the food chain since the manufacturers have made the decision it's cheaper to fix the problem than to ignore it (A * B < C in the famous fight club reference). They also need to authorize it.

Luxury car was a fight but they caved relatively quickly. Ford is an ongoing saga that has now taken longer to simply prove there is a problem than it took for luxury car to resolve the whole ordeal. Kia would likely be worse since they were selling Stingers at a huge markdown for awhile. I'll pass and stick to Toyota which hasn't had any major reliability problems in the past decade on their vehicles and have great service centers (in my very large metro area)

When you study on your own, keep track of what your are learning.

What I do is to create spreadsheet with 4 columns:

- "Topic": the topic name, e.g.: "self balancing trees".

- "Material": did I read/watch the material for this topic.

- "Notes": do I have my own takeaways or notes about this material.

- "Code": do I have code for this? like a Jupyter notebook or source code, etc.

This approach worked for me, and helped me get better at online tests and interviews.

If you think you already understand a concept, you can just move on to another topic.

> You use a cluster when your data and compute requirements are large and parallel enough that the tax paid on network latency trumps the 10-20X speedup you get on SSD and 1000X speedup you get from just keeping data in RAM.

Nowadays there's another reason to use clusters: to autoscale your expenditure wrt workload. A little inefficiency might be acceptable if you don't have to pay for a huge beefed up server idling at, say, 30%.
Note that my concern isn't really about the technical superiority of forward or reverse angle parking, or whether people choose to park forward or reverse in perpendicular parking.

It bothers me when people decide to ignore the marked direction of traffic flow in a garage or parking structure to facilitate their preferred parking style; if there were a reverse-angle parking garage I used where people went backwards through but to forward park I'd be just as annoyed.
