> But deductive methods scale well enough to definitively establish integrity and confidentiality for an entire OS kernel. ... Deductive methods scale well enough to verify (completely automaticallly, without human intervention) that the compiled binaries faithfully implement a given C program, so the compiler and linker need not be trusted.

Unfortunately, they do not. The two projects you mentioned are positively tiny -- they correspond to about 10KLOC of C, or less than 1/5th the size of jQuery -- and they each took world experts years of effort. Both, BTW, required serious limitations in the algorithms used to keep them simple. That's like saying that transmuting lead into gold scales well because we can transmute ten gold atoms in a billion-dollar particle accelerator.

> You're welcome to give examples of model checking or concolic testing establishing comparably deep properties of actual code of comparable length

Concolic tests are unsound, which is why they scale so well. Model checking routinely verifies much larger codebases, so much so that people don't bothering writing papers about it. When deductive methods are used to verify a 10KLOC program that's news. You can buy off-the-shelf model checkers that do more in industry pretty much all the time.

> More researchers are doing type theory than ever. Grants are pouring in, some labs can offer 20+ PhD scholarships per year.

Perhaps, but when you look at FM conferences, deductive methods in general and type systems in particular are significantly more represented.

> No widely cited research aeticles express the sentiment that "type theory has failed and we should look elsewhere"

There's no need to abandon something that has yet to break through in the first place. Most FM research is just done elsewhere.

> No other subfields are ezperiencing comparable growth.

Automated methods are.
If it was this easy, we'd have enabled this by default. Unfortunately by far not all UI freezes in IntelliJ IDEA are caused by GC, and ZGC is not a wholesale performance improvement even for those scenarios which do depend on GC.
There have been many Lumens. Scott's and my hashmap-based Lisp was called that years earlier (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17962433). When I contacted the dev of a previous project to ask if he minded us using the name, he replied that there were so many that it didn't matter.

Lumens come and go.
Semi-OT rant: can we stop these "for humans" qualifiers? AFAIK it started with requests and has since grown out of control: https://github.com/search?q=%22for+humans%22 (3234 repos at the moment) It hardly means anything any more and creators of alternatives that these "for humans" projects are supposed to replace probably won't be too happy with the implication that their work is somehow not for humans.

Now, on topic: why link to a blog post rather than the actual site? https://postgresqlco.nf/en/doc/param/

Maybe the blog post is linked because you want to highlight the not-yet-released configurator?

> Right now we are working hard on a fully featured application service where you can have a graphical configuration interface (or UI) with Drag & Drop of your postgresql.conf files with automatic validation, and a REST API where you can store and share your custom postgresql.conf configuration files. You will also be able to download your configurations in several formats, like the native postgresql.conf, YAML or JSON.

Sounds great but 
all we get for now is a screenshot

I would like to take this moment to say that the virus is very serious and any people thinking of traveling to China in the next few months should strongly reconsider. Death counts and infected counts coming out of China seem to not be very accurate, as they don't match other organization's models.
Also: there is really no central, balanced standard for justice/justness scale, but only an illusion of it(probably generated through said cohesion).

I learned it being an non-American with some English literacy on internet, and am being reminded of it every week.

Justice and/or “being nice” perceived scale is just an AI model of events around you that one uses to predict certain outcomes, and most of logic you see in it are purely coincidental correlations to aid in footprint reduction.
Interestingly it takes slightly less delta v to send the satelite out of Earth's gravity well from a geo-sync orbit than to deorbit it.
Yes, things are still moving fast. AFAIK the final 1.0 version of the protocol spec was only released last Summer.

The "I missed message because I only use xxx for that one thing" is valid for every app as long as you have fragmentation in the messaging space I think. That's why I like the idea of using the same client for a multitude of services through bridges, and not forcing people to necessarily use your network (even if they should :p)
I wonder if its possible to mirror messaging apps in some way... like to use messenger/whatsapp/{insert better app here} as 'clients' and sync messages in a non annoying way (of course, im sure this would be actively undermined)
Developer Friendly Kubernetes Object Storage via MinIO's Operato
Be very careful with "free linkedin credit," and giving them a credit card. Find in the LinkedIn interface where you can set the total spend you want on ads, as LinkedIn has auto-renewed card payments for ads without a notification equivalent to say, the ones you get for trivial things people in your network do.

Also, if you complain, they do communications not by email where you own the records, but via their user interface. I had a ~$300 ad spend balloon to almost $2000 and only caught it when I saw the credit card bill. They had been renewing the spend and charging the card without sending an email or regular account notification, as though to run it up before it was discovered. Their representatives commitment to repay the amount does not seem to have been fulfilled either.

When you are unsatisfied with being ripped off, they try to convince you that they are sympathetic to your incompetence, but they are keeping your money and you should be ok with that.

In short, avoid.
A single digit number of years, I think. Not too bad, especially since you can control its path.

Do you have a link to this? I'd like to read it.
Why? Monads [from category theory] were [applied in comp sci] as a way to give imperative programs formal semantics. Making use of them to retain referential transparency in the presence of effects is probably Haskell's greatest success. [Edited for clarity].
None of that really applies to this situation. It was that originally it wasn't clear if the 1st amendment applied to state governments as well, but the interpretations of that pre 14th amendment were that the state governments could restrict what the first amendment guarantees, and post 14th amendment state governments can't restrict the 1st amendment for citizens.

Assange is being charged with civilian, federal charges, so the citizens only interpretation doesn't really apply.
Isn't this the same risk anyone enlisting in the military also runs?

Yes, and we've been slowly forcing the military to acknowledge to own up to that. When PTSD was first recognized (as shell shock in WWI), the initial response of the (UK) military was to declare these people physically healthy and return them to the front, or execute them for desertion. I'd say the armed forces have come a long way since.
This is on a tangent, but I hate the "for humans" trend that Kenneth Reitz started with `requests`. What, does everyone else write code for porcupines?
If you make a site that says individuals not allowed to post in it because of the group they were born into, there are many who are going to make it their hobby to cause problems for you. After reading all of the well thought out comments above, it is becoming more clear that special group only spaces exist primarily because there are those who don’t like to be challenged or be required to explain themselves in order to feel special. Unfortunately that’s not how life works.
New owners and a pivoted product means, in effect, that you all got unwillingly transferred to a new company with new bosses. People are deciding for themselves if they like the new reality or not, and it is not uncommon to have an exodus in such situations. It does not necessarily indicate that the new owners and products have inherent problems, it simply indicates that it is not what people signed up for.

You have two possible scenarios (in general):

1) The new owners are competent, the pivot was a good move, and the company is in a good place. If this is the scenario, it could be good for you to be someone who has been around through the changes, and are now a bigger fish in a smaller pond.

2) Those things are not true, the owners do not know what they are doing, and are flailing, still trying to find product/market fit, or have other problems. In this scenario, leave. They might work out the problems and succeed in the long run, but it won't be a pleasant ride.
You are not alone.
It highly depends on what you search for even if it's programming related.

Google provides great results for common old-ish and repeated questions but you will notice less diversity - which can be pretty frustrating when you aren't looking for a definite answer.

You will find that it will give you old results from w3schools, codeacademy, SO, etc.

The ATC scenario has significantly more relaxed requirements than ILS, and this change is intended primarily to provide coverage in situations where there is no, or limited, coverage from conventional methods (primary/secondary radar), and likely ultimately to replace the outdated secondary radar system with a space-based one.

ADS-B is not a guidance tool and will not lead to any more usage of GPS for guidance than is currently common - and certainly won't impact ILS. They're just totally different use-cases.
Context, definitely. I have myself found them to be very useful. This is why I added HISTORY sections to the user manuals for some of Daniel J. Bernstein's tools when I converted them.

You're seriously over-interpreting that result. It means that one particular test has been proven flawed, not that the entire concept is invalid.

It's a must if you're a developer searching for some obscure error message, yet still most people don't know about it.
That sounds like you believe YouTube hosting appalling, extreme content is just a fact of life and there's nothing that can be done about it. That's a sad testament about Google engineers if it's true.

If Google could do something about this problem and are choosing not to then a better analogy would be garbage collectors signing something to accept they have to handle anthrax, and you saying "well, they don't have to be garbage collectors!"
When 90% of the people you email are on Gmail or GSuite does Proton mail really help? Yeah you get end to end encryption for other Proton mail users, but I don't know a single one. Google is going to have all of my emails anyway.

As for Facebook it is best just to quit. I don't even use Facebook to keep in touch with friends anymore. The value in Facebook is some of the groups. Local neighborhood groups seem to be the best source of information or things happening around your area if you care to know about it. Also different hobbies/interests have local FB groups that are the most active place for discussion with far more users than a small subreddit or dying forum community.

Perhaps I am old but I don't know a single person that uses Whatsapp or Signal. Everyone just uses old fashioned SMS or iMessage if they have iPhones.
We're torturing and holding people without charges for decades and even their entire lifetimes. We routinely ignore every single amendment and clause of the constitution when it's convenient for the government. I think what the constitution says is irrelevant at this point. The government will do what it wants irrespective of the constitution. The only dissonance here is that some people still insist on calling the US a free, democratic country. Not sure it ever really was in its history, but it sure as hell isn't now. It would help us all if we stopped this delusion.
I'm kind of wondering if there even needs to be. If you keyed up on frequency near a major airport as described in the GP, I'm pretty sure the FAA and FCC would be working together to track you down in short order. I could see the argument that it would be good to add authentication to the radios to complement the strict enforcement for a sort of belt-and-suspenders approach. However, I think a more pressing concern for aviation radio is that is is kept simpler, and thus with fewer failure modes, and thus more reliable Because when you need that radio in an emergency, that has to be the worst possible time to have to deal with authentication hiccups.
No amount of technology will be able to stop all people from being exposed to all forms of content at all times which may one day trigger PTSD symptoms. Social media shitholes use blacklists when they "should be" crowdsource-whitelisting content and not moderating anything at all. And then users decide for themselves if they wish to turn off the whitelist content filter and expose themselves to the content that may one day trigger PTSD symptoms.

Prepare your child for the path, not the path for your child.
> Equality and "social justice": the history of how people of color have been frozen out of the housing 'ladder' in the US is not as well known as more blatant and vicious examples of racism, but it is a huge reason why certain disparities have persisted.

In my city (and several others) you can overlay a current map of "above/below poverty line" on top of a 1930's map rating neighborhoods by "risk".

Those rated low quality/high risk due to "threat of infiltration of foreign-born, negro, or lower grade population" in the 1930s line right up with the largest swaths of below-poverty-line neighborhoods today.

I think so. Facebook provides a lot of value to a lot of people but their monetisation model and general practices don't sit well with a lot of people so an "ethical" for lack of a better word alternative I think could be very desirable.
I was tongue in cheek with my comment, but I enjoy JWZ's "previously" links and tags can help traverse the history that you're working to preserve.

The simplicity you mention is worth a lot, though.
Not the poster, but while the GPS signal doesn't have lag, many receivers run the output through a Kalman filter for higher precision.

It's fortunate that we mostly have 3 categories of cones and also 3 spatial dimensions. Notice that magenta is a vertex (of 8 vertices) in the cube, along with Yellow and Cyan too.

How the particular space (of activation to the 3 categories of cones) is carved out by that cube is something we engineered, and in fact is different across different printing and display technologies.
Does Your Domain Have a Registry Lock?
Your argument is inconsistent.

If we accept the premise that being legally compelled to treat a patient makes a doctor a slave, it is perfectly reasonable for Rand Paul to argue against the expansion of such a law. Similarly, the current existence of such a law does not contradict his moral stance unless he advocates or supports the current system, which he does not.

Is that the thing where after a number of reductions by a single process the BEAM will make sure another process gets its time in the sun? I believe so but I'm not familiar enough with the internals. They definitely spoke about reductions in the meeting I half-listened to.
Why is it higher, rather than lower? If it is higher, will it not eventually be back in geostationary orbit?
Depends. It is better for getting to my house - I personally went in and fixed the bad data. I checked the my changes are public domain box so eventually google might pick that up - maybe.

Doesn't help my trying to get to arbitrary places, but when arbitrary people are trying to get to me it helps a lot.
Does anyone here even really use Google's search engine anymore?

I do search for stuff a lot, but to be honest I know perfectly when it will be a stackoverflow page I want, or a wikipedia page, or it will have that link to maps.

I can't remember the last time I searched for something and I didn't already know what domain I actually wanted to end up on.
> Google was originally and for many years extremely elegant in it’s simplicity.

What, no ads?
Good article, and shows the vulnerability of GPS to simplistic devices. eLoran was proposed as a ground-based backup to GPS for situations such as this, as jamming that signal would take resources your ordinary consumer wouldn't have. However, the funding for this was nixed and most/all of the towers were torn down.

What are you talking about. I would be horrified (and yes, also: surprised) to find anything like that in a dumpster. You live in a scary place.
Stupid title, but interesting article. They try to use radioactive Carbon-14 to make diamonds to produce heat in a RTG power source.

Obviously it doesn't have near infinite power. The amount of power will be very small, but it may be useful for some applications. Also, the half-life of C14 is 5750 years, so after a few milenia it will need a replacement.
The extradition request was for normal federal charges where the first amendment pretty clearly applies.

So you want me to switch from one platform I have no control over to another? The whole reason Facebook is evil is they can be since they have full control of the software and your data.

What would your goal be? To grow like Facebook, go public, and maximize profit? I have no reason that your product/company wouldn't just turn into another Facebook.

Introducing Yarn 2
I don't think it's practical. None of the search engines give me results of quality high enough for my daily software development problem, but Google. Tried them all. If you want to get stuff done, you google it. If you want to play socially responsible society member role, you try alternative browsers, until you run out of time, then you google it.
Interesting point, I am going to assume there is an option or bridge or plugin or something that can send an email notification that you or your group / chat room has new messages(?) - and this may be an important, perhaps default selected, option for new users trying out a matrix flavor(?)

I remember when fbk would send messages to everyone, some of my clients had a hundred emails a day from fbk in their inbox, and they were checking in several times a day, now it's become a habit regardless I think for most.
> I've been using Linux now for about 20 years. There was Cedega before proton (remember them?) . While the desktop situation is now okay e.g. I can normally get something serviceable without the headaches of the past. Generally everything is still a mess. Jaron Lanier in his book "You are not a gadget" explains why this will always be the case. Open source anything is very much like herding cats.

Sure, I can get behind this. I do, however, think that you're underestimating how much bad will Microsoft is building with its userbase these days. Sure, I don't think we're headed for 20-30%, but I do think there is a higher proportion of tech savvy users who, all else being equal (granted, big if), would prefer something like Linux that they will have control over. MS have pulled some amazingly ballsy moves with their latest iterations that have absolutely not been present in previous incarnations. Forced updates, ads, gaslighting Cortana setting, re-appearing icons, mandatory new apps, telemetry, forced Windows accounts, Candy Crush ads, lock screen ads - the list continues. What's more is that previous frustrations (blue screen of death) were a limit of the technology. All of the aforementioned are deliberate and arguably cynical decisions from MS. This makes a certain percentage of the population angry, and while the main playerbase is made up of those who are willing to make a compromise, if we make the compromise more attractive then you WILL see higher users. This time is different.

>There no evidence that there is a large player base for this Linux first platform. Many companies have tried. A lot of Linux users in the past used (look at older phpBB forums such as JustLinux and LinuxForums) that constantly to boast about "not paying for software".

Apart from the countless reports being made to ProtonDB? Or the 120k subscribers to the Linux_gaming subreddit? Or the increasing Linux Steam Survey stats? There is evidence.

>But there isn't 20%-30% of the sales are Linux. It is a literally a 1%. It is very niche.

It's like you didn't read my comment.

This is the manager that wants your bathroom breaks scheduled while s/he's on the golf course or tennis court sucking up to the boss... No thanks.
I have a very Task Oriented Job, along with some projects that I manage. I end every daily check in with my boss the same way. "Here are my current priorities and tasks, Do you have anything else you would like me to do as well?". It works great for us, it shows him what I am prioritizing and gives him a chance to adjust those priorities as he sees fit. It keeps there from being any miscommunications or from having priorities.
I didn't even know that an out-of-network provider was involved in my surgery until after it was over. A couple of weeks after the surgery, my insurance company sent me an unexpected check for $3,000. I called and asked them about it. They said, "It's to pay the surgical assistant. They're out of network, so we can't pay them directly." I had no idea that a surgical assistant was even there. (I hadn't yet received the bill.) The insurance company told me that since I had already been anesthetized and couldn't ask the surgical assistant if they were in-network, I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket for the surgical assistant.
