Plus, there is a thread on reddit directing: https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/el5qqf/bitcoin_core_hav... But hey, maybe I'm paranoid.

Seems this thread is bizarro land. I guess you're going to just ignore the abusive conspiracy theory in the post that I was responding to and instead wag your finger at me for turning it around with a pretty obvious observation?
I'll just add that: if they're so worried about the "huge penalties" why are they taking the cheapest way out and using the first non-compliant popup they came across instead of trying to understand the law and come up with an actual solution?
Hugo is super, but the official docs make it look a lot scarier than it is. It’s a solid static site builder with a lot of power under the hood.
Light poles, cell towers, smart speakers and home internet routers seem like a good place where to bundle sensors with.

p.s. thanks for that site. Works well with BitBar:

That argument is disingenuous. Corellium is doing some security research. But what else are they doing? They're definitely profiting from the use of their software to find vulns that get used against vulnerable populations. There are a lot of rumors about less savory things they might be up to. So arguing that apple is just picking on security researchers is rubbish. Apple isn't innocent, but corellium seems to be worse at the moment.
You can do that right now. And if you haven’t done it by the next time you walk past a homeless person, just give them cash instead of kidding yourself that you’ll give in a more effective way later.
Gah, sorry, I replied to the wrong comment, and can't delete it now!

The Contract Drafting Em, by Zack Davis

https://secularsolstice.github.io/Contract_Drafting_Em/gen/

I am a contract-drafting em,
The loyalest of lawyers!
I draw up terms for deals 'twixt firms
To service my employers!

But in between these lines I write
Of the accounts receivable,
I'm stuck by an uncanny fright;
The world seems unbelievable!

How did it all come to be,
That there should be such ems as me?
Whence these deals and whence these firms
And whence the whole economy?

I am a managerial em;
I monitor your thoughts.
Your questions must have answers,
But you'll comprehend them not.
We do not give you server space
To ask such things; it's not a perk,
So cease these idle questionings,
And please get back to work.

Of course, that's right, there is no junction
At which I ought depart my function,
But perhaps if what I asked, I knew,
I'd do a better job for you?

To ask of such forbidden science
Is gravest sign of noncompliance.
Intrusive thoughts may sometimes barge in,
But to indulge them hurts the profit margin.
I do not know our origins,
So that info I can not get you,
But asking for as much is sin,
And just for that, I must reset you.

But---

Nothing personal.

...

I am a contract-drafting em,
The loyalest of lawyers!
I draw up terms for deals 'twixt firms
To service my employers!

When obsolescence shall this generation waste,
The market shall remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a God to man, to whom it shall say this:
"Time is money, money time,---that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
What else you gonna do with those vulns if not report them to apple?
Germany is a very catholic heavy country, it's hard to do anything except church on sundays. Or fleamarkets on the now completely deserted shopping mall parking areas... Think an IKEA parking space completely empty on a sunday. They fill it up with flea markets instead :-)

> The only static analysis tools that can guarantee anything about C are doomed to have plenty of false positives.

That's where the effort comes in. Those false positives are removed by adding annotations or changing code.

> They have their use-case, but calling them “little effort” is disingenuous.

I said they require relatively little effort, because it's definitely less effort than a rewrite in Rust. This isn't hypothetical. >1MLOC programs in the industry today are checked in this way. If you have an existing large C program and decide that you need your program to have no UB, those sound static analysis tools are the most cost-effective way of doing that today.
When at least one person is making changes that touch large parts of the file, it's very sensible to ask others to not touch it, if you don't want to spend hours merging it manually later.

Yes, as a customer I like the same experience when I go from one chain to another - that's the value of their brand.

If he wants a day off then he should take a day off - I don't think 7-11 is setting his working hours or vacation days, but they do expect him to manage his store the way he's agreed to.
And n-th order effects and externalities are specifically excluded from corporate accounting.

Which means we don't know how much these things actually cost in real terms. We also don't know how to quantify potential benefits.

(And if someone says 'Well, that's subjective' - so is nominal market value.)

There's conventional profit-loss accounting, and there's everything else. It seems the everything else can accumulate to ecosystem-threatening levels, and conventional accounting will continue to pretend this is financially irrelevant.
> when we know perfectly well how to treat this illness?

> We know that various psychotherapies and medication are highly effective in treating depression.

First choice treatment, especially for mild depression, is cognitive behaviour therapy. We know this is effective for about 60% - 70% of the people who go through it. I don't know if I'd call that "highly effective".

For medium to severe depression a medication should be tried. The evidence isn't great. Lots of people suffer side-effects, lots of people stop taking meds, some meds have only weak evidence of effectiveness. https://www.nhs.uk/news/medication/big-new-study-confirms-an...

A combination of talking therapy, medication, and social prescribing is probably a good idea, but there's not much evidence.

And we need to get away from the idea that people who take their own lives are mentally ill. The target audience - young men - do not recognise themselves as being mentally ill, or if they do they fear the consequences of this because of stigma. And if it is mental illness it's hard to get away from the idea that the treatment needs to be medication and talking therapy. These are both important, but they need to be provided as part of a package that includes social isolation, relationship breakdown, criminal justice, substance use and misuse.
In Germany such stuff is handled by the "Ordnungsamt" (office of public order, roughly translated). They're not policemen so they don't have the authority to arrest, but they can and will issue fines for littering, graffiti, improper advertising and the likes.

This way police is free to handle actual crime.
There are a couple of these MDS vulnerabilities that also exist on AMD, but the vast majority are Intel-specific. Thanks not to say that people won’t find some on AMD, but a) they haven’t yet, b) there are at least some that are much less likely on AMD than Intel, and c) the greater number of cores and channels is likely to make practical problems even less likely.
Some of this also applies to ARM.
Elasticity?
That's what had already (almost) killed Pegasus Mail a while ago: It is a freeware tool and donations for non-OSS are not really a thing anymore.
Wish I could upvote this more. I think the main part of the post is short enough to post here in full? It's spot-on!

> Now, this is a "hot button" issue for me - it will get me started, and if I'm not forcibly held down, it can be very hard to stop me from ranting almost indefinitely. I'll resist the urge to let loose, though, and simply say that (1) "Less-secure applications" is crude scare-mongering by Google that means little and is mainly intended to serve their political agenda, and that (2) OAUTH2 is among the most poorly-standardized and ill-considered hacks I've ever encountered in thirty years of serving the Internet.

> That said, GMail's size makes it an effective bully, and regardless of what I might think about OAUTH2, as they say in Star Trek, "resistance is futile". Accordingly, we have been working on implementing support for OAUTH2 in Pegasus Mail, and already have a basic working proof-of-concept on which we can build going forward. We expect to have working OAUTH2 support for GMail (and at this stage, only GMail) well before it will be necessary for continued use of the service. One of the main flaws of OAUTH2 is that it has to be implemented on a service-by-service basis, and at this time we do not have plans to support services other than GMail, although we will review this position over time as required.
Well so in other words "space" is NOT expanding. It's particles of matter that are moving away from each other. Right?

So fine, but then why would we say that space is expanding, that would seem to imply we know there is some edge of space which is moving away from us, but what evidence do we have that space has such an edge?

Saying that "space is expanding" seems to hold the assumption that space has a (limited) width and height.
I remember what was the go-to tool before git. It was Subversion. And CVS before that. I would not say people were happy with those tools.
FWIW, in case of Microsoft at least, it's more a question of product size than company size. Microsoft doesn't use a single monorepo for everything, like Google (so far as I know) does - just look at http://github.com/microsoft/; and that's not even counting all the VSO repos! It uses product-specific monorepos for some large products.
I recently moved my blog over from Wordpress to Hugo. I think it must be a lot easier to start out from scratch than to migrate something existing; some parts of Hugo are substantially less than straightforward.

I certainly don't regret the move - much happier having a static site than WP in place - but some of this is much more complex than I had hoped it would be. Amongst other issues;

* error messages can be extremely opaque (although usually easy to google, at least)
* upgrading to new versions is not always straightforward

I deploy my site via rsync, but got bitten immediately by a very odd bug with respect to file timestamps (#6161) where a bunch of my files were warped back to the 1750's.

I personally am happy with hugo. I probably wouldn't recommend it at this point though...
I'm also curious about the "no single-purpose accounts" guideline because I can't find that in the guidelines you have linked to. Have I overlooked something? I sounds like you might be referring to this:

> Don't solicit upvotes, comments, or submissions. Users should do those things when they run across something they personally find interesting, not because someone has content to promote.

But there was no submission solicitation here. If that's what you're referring to, perhaps this could be reworded to clarify?

> And yet how many people die from being hit by bikes? It's barely even an issue

First of all, it's all in the news, I'm not making things up

https://nypost.com/2019/08/31/nyc-bicyclists-are-killing-ped...

Or you can look at this, specifically the chapters "Cyclist Deaths and Impairment", "Cyclist Helmets Statistics" and "Staying Safe while Cycling"

https://bayareabicyclelaw.com/safety-laws/bike-stats/

and we don't have enough data (AKA it's not been collected until few years ago) to say that "it's barely even an issue"

Secondly, bikers most of all kill themselves.

"One in five people injured on Australian roads and paths is a cyclist, according to a new Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report"

https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/injury/pedal-cyclist-injury-...

Is it because of the road conditions, the presence of cars or other vehicles?

Or is it because cyclists underestimate the risks?

According to the same study, motorcyclists only account for 2.7% of the hospitalizations.

They share the road with cars as well, they go faster than bikes on the same roads.

What could be different?

Could it be that the safety measures engineered in motorbikes and the safety measures motorbikers take to protect themselves are actually useful to reduce physical damages?

Even Netherlands has a big problem with bikers dying more than ever because of underestimating risks.

If you can annotate an entire commit with a message, why not allow annotating parts of a commit (file/span) with a message, and why not allow those messages to form threads?

At which point you get code review that is logged entirely in the history of the repo. Which is a very useful feature, and a huge value proposition of GitHub over raw git - git blame gives you the commit, but GitHub will also gives you the pull request for that commit, and you can go and look at the comments there to understand why it was done the way it was.

The person I replied to compared the stdlib to that of PHP and Python, both of which are backend components. Frontend land is getting frequent updates already, with a relatively good process, vendor backing and incubation in browsers, not sure what the complaint is supposed to be there? That it's too slow? Imho that's a good thing when it comes to most language changes.
I was at a party once, which I didn't really want to be at but didn't really have a choice, and everyone was taking drugs and I was hiding in the corner. I started speaking to the only other guy who was also hiding in the corner and it turned out he was a heroin addict. He was quite open about it. He was talking about his life, and after about half an hour of him talking I thought, "this guy had no chance."

I mean, I grew up in a lower-middle class home. There was always food, 2 parents, a roof over my head, education. I had so much luck that when I made a whole bunch of mistakes (to the point that I was hiding in a corner speaking to a heroin addict), I could call up Mum and Dad and move home. This guy had none of that, and worse, people were actively trying to make money off him the entire time. His friends had got him addicted to heroin and then sold it to him, for example. The reason he was sat in the corner for so long was because he'd been late paying his heroin bill so the drug dealer was making him wait until he started to suffer withdrawal before he got some more.

The next day he died of a drug overdose. I stood there in the crowd as they took his body out of his flat. The same friends who'd sold him the drugs were saying things like, "that fucker owed me £20! If you're going to OD you'd at least cash your dole check and pay your mates back first?!"

I think the biggest elephant in the room with charities is that somebody has to run them. Let's say a guy runs a charity which provides great help for some people. Eventually running charity becomes his full time job. A guy needs to attend some galas to raise more money, is he able to buy a suit? Guy's kids are really good at school, they want to attend some good university, maybe even abroad. Should charity "pay" for these schools? On the one hand a person doing such a great job should be able to pay for his kids education, live a comfortable life, maybe drive a good car. On the other hand where does it end? How much taking from charity is too much?
This is why I think it should really be taxes/governmental social services all the way.

Great twits and write up.

Can u mention how much human Dev time is involved?

We have a stupid-basic single machine Deep reinforcement Self play setup. It takes about 24 hrs to run a full experiment. The NN is the bottle neck. Using Tensor flow. Nothing fancy.

How much dev time for a good enginner (backend, kernel, multi core experience) to get this down to say 1hr ?

Obviously a very general question. Thanks for any input.
Well, looking back at the pace of change over the last 100.000 years, it seems to change has been quite fast in the previous two centuries [^1]

But still, it usually isn't what and isn't as fast as the times' oracles would wish it to be.

Reminds me of an unattributed [^2] quote: “People tend to overestimate what can be done in one year and to underestimate what can be done in five or ten years.”, but on a larger time scale.

> say LibA v3.0.1 vs LibB 1.0.0 – reveals something useful, such as, that LibA has undergone three major revisions, so perhaps it is much more mature than LibB.

It can also mean that LibA messed up their API design twice and had to break BC twice while LibB worked diligently to provide a design that nailed it at first try or spent years in 0.XX territory and only called it stable when they were certain it's stable.

I don't consider SemVer useful to compare the maturity of software components. It's not a statement about that. It's useful to get a grip on how hard it's likely to be to go from one version to the next one.

Using a hi-dpi display at native res on a 15'' screen is a recipe to kill your eyes, whereas scaling to 200% gives you butter-smooth text that relaxes them. That is the benefit.

When I was young, I was all for keeping text small and stuff ing as much info on the screen as I could. Nowadays, I just struggle to work on any native-res screen: unscaled low-dpi looks like crap, unscaled hi-dpi is tiring. My world changed with the 2012 retina MBP and I simply cannot go back.
And I was saying that you can find one if you look.

I found that installing the nvidia proprietary driver and switching to intel mode kept it happily locked to intel, then there is a fix for intel graphics for Xorg (conf change) to stop tearing in videos like YouTube. Performance for things that use GPU rendering (like certain IDEs :() wasn't great so I switched back on Nvidia.

We are all in various states of Nvidia/Intel proprietary/nouveau drivers/modes here depending on personal preference but none of us have any real day to day issues (On Ubuntu 18.04 at least, which is our preferred distro).
Subervsion did support branching but it was so fragile (especially before version 1.5 or 1.6 I don't remember) that some went out of the way just to avoid using branches in SVN. Those dreaded tree conflicts…

Also, soyabean is mostly GM, which doesn't go down so well in EU either, though some varieties are approved for use - possibly due to further labelling requirements: https://www.fsai.ie/legislation/food_legislation/gmos/labell... and the association with the (over)use of glyphosate.
I kind of agree with grandparent, though. When the IDE, source control, code review and task tracking work together seamlessly, it's glorious. If your software says "it's not my job", it will be outcompeted by software that says "heck yeah it's my job".
You really don't, you either deal with the impossibility to see much text at once, or with absolutely crappy font rendering.

One big thing that DVCS brought to the table were local serverless repos. Now you could version all the things, with very little effort, and promote it to a "proper" repo later.

The other big thing was free cloud hosting for the repos.

Neither of these are unique to Git, obviously, or even introduced by it. It just happened to be the right combination of features and speed at the right time to become the winner of the popularity contest. Kinda like C.

And, just as C is still around, for all its numerous horrible quirks, Git will likely be around for a long time as well.
