I don't know what the graphic style is called but I despise it. How is that type of drawing not something anyone can do? Honestly. Unless these drawings are done by children they are horrible, if they are I apologize and feel bad. I think Box.com or Dropbox used similar graphics early on.. apple had some going with apple.com/today but they have moved along.
When a large number of people use a word to mean something, that's what the word means. My definition of "public domain" doesn't trump their definition, just because I'm a lawyer or a programmer or somehow more specific. Neither does James Boyle's or Larry Lessig's.

The first group to latch onto "open source" was OSI. "Open" had been a buzzword in computing for a whole generation before.

The media didn't eat up ESR's line because OSI had a definition or a license list. Initially, it had neither. The media ate it up because of the software, which hadn't been called by that name before.

Nobody's abusing anything here but OSI's sense of entitlement. Comment above is right: there's no exclusive right to the term.
As a consumer-products company, color is something Apple has long been obsessed about.

I don't know anywhere that has a surfeit of radiologists just sitting around chewing gum. The types of tools described in the paper will enter the market as radiologist assisting devices, if for no other reason that the regulatory burden for this is dramatically less than a total radiologist replacement. Their introduction will make radiologist's jobs easier, and improve scan throughput and reduce waiting times for results. This will free up radiologists to deal with more complex cases. But I doubt it will materially reduce the number of radiology jobs, at least in the next generation.
You could find more in the book. The OS was done mostly for teaching purposes. You could write the building blocks of the OS: virtual memory, context switch etc in an easier environment than Linux/UNIX.
Assuming it's true the US Did nuke fallout experiments on people 7 years after the end of a war, you need to keep in mind, that's what happens after a war. People who are put into combat situtuations look at human life as a numbers game; the experiment on them would have been justified along those lines. Kill some marginal population in horrific ways in a worthwile experiment to save more lives in the future; to a soldier this makes perfect sense.

The problem with war is not the war itself, it's the weapons, including people, you leave laying around after. Once you get the bad lines of thinking started they perpetuate.

You'd do very well for yourself to remember that while you're re-writing the history of WW2. It's one heck of a spin to call the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki "an experiment"; there was a war going on. The Americans knew exactly what was going to happen from the nuke; kill lots of Japs and hope they surrender and given the belligerance of both sides, I'd say they were probably right.

There is no such thing. The standard recommendation is to measure how much time you spend with your hardware and adjust the iteration count to the maximum tolerable amount.

The whole point of password derivation functions is to be slow, not fast. It’s just a matter of how slow is too slow.

For a reference, Django currently uses 260k iterations or something like that.

If you ever do a successor format, color triangle barcodes can store 3x as much information per square inch -- so you could either have just one scannable code on the back of the cart, or have 3x as much game with the current method.

"Open" was a high-froth marketing term in computing long before OSI came around. "Open source" itself was and is commonly used in intelligence.

Christine Patterson, who proposed "open source" at the freeware summit, has written that she mentioned it to a friend in marketing at the time, and the friend advised against. "Open" was too played out, meant everything and nothing.

For me, it's worth way more, but I think this mostly depends what $5 is worth to you. Do you occasionally pay $5 for a beer, cocktail, coffee, or glass of wine? It's worth way more than any of those.
I'm a software developer of 3 years and I don't understand why sending a 15MB screenshot as an email attachment is a bad idea?

I agree that intuitive notions of size are tricky. I try to lookup those comparisons about how large the works of Shakespeare or a Tale of Two Cities would be, but it never ever seems to stick. I'm able to remember that movies are roughly 1GB because it's easy and I encounter it a lot as a discrete unit. But yea, songs, text messages, single images, I really struggle with.
At some level, any system for evaluating research will have to rely on peer assessment. And some amount of groupthink is inevitable with peer assessment.

But the ResearchHub model of open collaborative assessment could have provided more incentives and visibility for research that deviated from the beta amyloid hypothesis.

It sounds like gatekeepers were a large problem here... i.e. peer reviewers for journals or grants that were insistent on beta amyloid. Disentangling dissemination from assessment (as preprints are doing) will help bring contrary findings to the light.

We also need to make all assessment public. Rather than basing the validity of a study on a few anonymous unpublished reviews, let anyone provide feedback and increase the sample size and diversity of assessment. Finally, add some incentives for contrarians who advance unpopular hypotheses that time proves correct.

Anyways, lot's of thoughts, but I agree a radical shift in how scientists communicate could help get to the root of the hivemind described in the article and by @cockatiel_day.

I totally agree I find this drawing style of goofy-looking characters with weird proportions that is going through so many tech companies right now so confusing. I hate it.
I love the LED lights available today. I am able to pack 10x more light per watt into my office using hacked together fixtures to the point it is eye piercingly bright. It really helps in the low light of winter. Before this point, the other efficient option were HID lights but the spectrums on those are all wrong for reasonable residential lighting.
My employer's internal infrastructure for this just sucks; it's not endemic to stripping binaries.

Specifics? The automation to associate cores with specific builds is bad or non-existent; the automation to load up GDB with the right files and corresponding sources or source branch is bad/non-existent; the fileserver storing symbol data is slow and sometimes remote to the developer across a very thin pipe; etc, etc. All to some extent foot-shooting by my organization. But we have TBs and TBs of build artifacts and hundreds of unique daemons producing cores and also have to debug kernel cores and multiple product branches.

Part of the pain is perhaps that we're cross-building for an embedded FreeBSD-derived system, but the majority of our developers use Linux or Mac, so we can't necessarily use host-native (or host-native-only) tools.

I think basically the situation is begging for someone familiar with the problem-space to sit down and bang out a FUSE filesystem or two (e.g. fetching sources on-demand as GDB reads them, instead of checking out a full multi-GB repo copy) along with a shell or Python script to load up a core. But no one has done it yet and management doesn't really prioritize developer tools.

Yeah! So it's these remotes: https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-5-Channel-Wireless-Control-R...

Which are 433mhz. It's a couple of dollars to wire a receiver into a Raspberry Pi to hear them. I don't have any issues with reception, even through the brick wall into my garage. I don't remember which script I started with, but at a glance this looks like the same one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe5Bj_N4Crw

I have custom scripts now, to make it easier to add new remotes and handle them (I use Node-RED for automation logic). You can solder pads to change the IDs on the remote, if you don't happen to have matched remotes to use the same ones per-room.

The one downside is that the encoded information isn't complete if you very quickly press a button. It isn't an issue in practice, but I did give up on using a 433mhz doorbell because hurried delivery drivers would barely tap on it.
It's called pretentious. It's an attempt to appear to be working on a higher level by deliberately discarding aesthetics and what would commonly be thought of as good design. A sort of purposefully ugly. It was a trend in fashion for a while and sadly it looks to have bled over into places like Google in a desire to be hip.

To me it just looks like bad 4chan memes and trying too hard.
This is the remote (I left more info in a comment to another reply here): https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-5-Channel-Wireless-Control-R...
If you haven't yet, check out Redshift (http://jonls.dk/redshift/).
Interesting. It appears to me that it's not simply a power quality issue anymore, it's likely that the old wiring and transformer winding is also arcing over, and creates enormous amount of wideband radio frequency interference, like a spark-gap transmitter, both in the airwaves and on the power lines. It seriously degrades any wireless communication and digital wired communication like DSL as well.

If you have a SDR capable of receiving shortwave below 30 MHz, try walking around the neighborhood with a laptop with a loop antenna connected to the SDR, and check the HF spectrum. It's likely that you'll see the entire bands being wiping out. If so, it's a serious violation of radio regulation, you can report the situation to the FCC.
“Maybe adding a bike indicator on all the stop signs would be a partial solution.”

Doubtful. Motorists tend to be strongly apathetic to anyone but themselves. Probably a red light that’s capable of spotting a cyclist and timing a crossing would be a blue sky solution.
> This meme has been debunked several months ago but keeps getting repeated along with the more ignorant 'the plane is inherently unstable'.

Yet, there has been no information released, at least publicly, as to the bare airframe flight characteristics (bare as in sans MCAS).

The reasons for the initial inclusion of the MCAS seems like it may have been related to the augmentation of the "touch and feel" of the flight controls, but we simply do not know at this point what were the reasons for the increase of it's operating envelope and authority.

> Please stop spreading thoroughly debunked misinformation.

If you have a source for the debunking, I would appreciate if you could share it. In the meantime, our best bet is to hope for one of the other CAA-s to conduct said bare airframe tests.

I suspect that one must also consider that the Boeing's PR department is busy coloring the narrative in a favourable way.

Recommendation R3.4:

The FAA should review the natural (bare airframe) stalling characteristics of the B737 MAX to determine if unsafe characteristics exist. If unsafe characteristics exist, the design of the speed trim system (STS)/MCAS/elevator feel shift (EFS) should be reviewed for acceptability.

Observation O3.4-A: The original implementation of MCAS was driven primarily by its ability to provide the B737 MAX with FAA-compliant flight characteristics at high speed. An unaugmented design would have been at risk of not meeting 14 CFR part 25 maneuvering characteristics requirements due to aerodynamics.

Observation O3.4-B: Extension of MCAS to the low-speed and 1g environment during the flight program was due to unacceptable stall characteristics with STS only. The possibility of a pitch-up tendency during approach to stall was identified for the flaps-up configuration prior to the implementation of MCAS.

Finding F3.4-A: The acceptability of the natural stalling characteristics of the aircraft should form the basis for the design and certification of augmentation functions such as EFS and STS (including MCAS) that are used in support of meeting 14 CFR part 25, subpart B requirements.

In short, Boeing designed a full-authority flight envelope protection system, just like Airbus has. Except for the fact that Airbus uses a full triplex system (3 ADIRU-s with their own set of sensors), while Boeing went with a single source of data, treating the wetware on the seat as the pseudo duplex channel ("you are the backup", while neglecting to inform them of their role, or their potential physical inability to accomplish this, nor provide accurate force feedback in sims). Now they are trying to sell us a duplex/pseudo-triplex model with the consolation that while the beast still has half a brain (pun intended), it is at least more tame. All this while simply neglecting to tell us, the pilots and the flying public, exactly why it was needed in the first place. See O3.4-B above.

Are common keyboards really that bad? I don't really think there's enough benefit in investing the time and effort and money in working out and purchasing your absolute perfect layout if it only deviates from the standard by a small amount. Even the keyboard in the article only deviates from the standard by a few keys.

It's all subjective of course, but personally I'd prefer to be able to use any keyboard anywhere without much drama. I don't feel like I'm suffering much, even if it's not my "perfect" layout.

That said, I do have caps lock remapped to escape on all my personal devices. The muscle memory isn't so bad that I don't remember to hit the ESC key on keyboards that aren't mine though.
The other day my truck battery died while it was parked. I didn't describe it as a "Catastrophic failure while parked", I tell my friends "My truck didn't start".

My daughter's VW had trouble and the engine died while she was doing 70 miles an hour. She pulled over, got out and watched it burn to the ground in front of her. I'm not even sure I'd call that a catastrophic failure, but it's a lot closer.

When I hear something is catastrophic, I expect it to be more interesting/ impactful than a failure to move.

I was mostly being tongue in cheek in my original comment, but seriously, what happened is his car wouldn't start and had to be serviced. If this were any other make/ model of car it wouldn't be a story.
Sure. libunwind is taking the place of pclntab here, not the symbol table. Go must also not strip symbols in order to print backtraces; if you want the same thing in C, don't strip the symbol table there either.
And, in retrospect, Boeing would have been WAY ahead financially, not to mention that hundreds of deaths would have been prevented, if they had just offered to subsidise the retraining if they bought the new plane...
Huh - my old RTOS professor from undergrad contributed a lot to Xinu and used to shill it to us in class. Didn't think I'd ever see it again.
It varies wildly. My main setup are DIY-built "Amiga" speakers, on a Yaqin tube amp. I also have Overnight Sensations speakers in another room. Definitely go DIY if you're looking at something new.

The cheapest is a recent $10 portable bluetooth speaker (via aux in) for the shower. It turns on when the shower door closes.
That's why I suggested "paradigm". Because that includes all the political stuff. Not just a widely accepted hypothesis.
What are the differences in the base versus variable (e.g. bonus) pay for SWE versus consultant? At one point I was in a travel heavy role and I got a fairly good bonus based on utilization/billable hours. Overall the consultants made more than the SWEs in the same company at similar levels because of the bonuses.

The above wasn't true for the associate (basically entry level) and regular consultant levels. Level 1 and 2 SWEs could make more money and had far more career options.

I got tired of travel and moved on to a low-travel role at a different company where I got a paid more. You should explore that.

That being said, I'd have gladly taken a 10% paycut (at least temporarily) to stop traveling. Consulting roles require a different set of skills than a pure engineering role so it might make sense to switch jobs and hone your skills for 6 months or so. Then interview and move on. Or, if you perform well, ask for a promotion.
Are you saying many diseases we believe to be autoimmune may be caused by infections?
Those criticisms aside, if this system went up against the current status quo in a prospective study, there is a reasonable chance it would be on par at least with humans. Whether that makes it a worthwhile endeavour comes down to questions of cost, technical complexity and health outcomes. This last part is actually a significant barrier to 'AI' in healthcare. For that reason, I suspect most companies will prefer to sell their products integrated into assistant style software, where the value proposition is tied to reimbursement eg reporting more scans.

The sensitivity is also still not as high as you would like ideally... this is a limitation of mammography.
It's intentional:

> Gnulib takes a different approach. Its components are intended to be shared at the source level, rather than being a library that gets built, installed, and linked against. Thus, there is no distribution tarball; the idea is to copy files from Gnulib into your own source tree.

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/

The musl FAQ has some, ah, choice words: https://wiki.musl-libc.org/faq.html#Q:-I'm-getting-a-gnulib-...

gnulib is like the hellspawn retroactive offspring of autoconf and a vendored copy of jquery. The "portability" issues it solves are immediately invalidated when your code probably won't compile under a pre-C99 compiler unless you pay special attention anyway, and the kind of people who run those systems either know what they're getting into or aren't likely intending to be installing new software. Then it goes creating problems in otherwise perfectly fine environments.

Don't use it.
I already am and have been in various leadership roles at my church - volunteer groups, a bible study, etc. I seem to do OK in those contexts, and I think it's largely because of a years-long, intense leadership training internship I went through in my late teens at the same church, as well as an incredibly supportive and fun social group I was with for years.

Much of operating in social contexts involves understanding roles and social expectations in those roles. That understanding doesn't come naturally, but I have found that I can pick it up.

So I do have some confidence that I could eventually lead well at work with enough of a commitment to learning what I don't naturally pick up.
I like the argument that if you can break 2^100 complexity, you can probably break 2^200 because it will have meant you turned NP into P.

But... I have a 64Mhz embedded device doing 10,000 ChaCha20-poly1305 encryption operations per second on 64 bytes of data and 64 of “add” in the AEAD MAC. Small packet, but those numbers are crazy.

Chacha is FAST considering it doesn’t need the same special hardware that AES does.

I guess I get the idea of not doing extra work and at a global scale it might add up. But I won’t move my rounds down from existing standard unless I needed to.

No I commuted for years, I live close enough to walk to work now so I’m less invested in this debate these days.

But I just think the marked lanes and sharrows are a good enough compromise for the serious commuters and the casuals. I’m not an expert nor closer to the mean of the typical rider (I build my own bikes, ride fast but safe, like a bike messenger without the suicide wish) so I try not to get all holy about this.

I should also note I find Toronto’s more plentiful marked lanes to be pretty good but I avoid the separated one on Adelaide. it’s much improved over past years.
