> you no longer have to, and nobody gets offended

I don't know... I'd be offended that my friend couldn't just tell me directly. But I guess if I'm using the app as well... but doesn't that call into question the nature of the relationship?
> At WWDC19, we announced the deprecation of kernel extensions

The title as written deserves a (2019) since they announced this to developers last year.
Could you point us to the talk where they say this? Not doubting, just curious for more info
thanks that's already a lower bound point of reference
What's this "documentation" thing you're talking about? Is it something other than header files and code?

I'm joking but documentation (and tech support) do seem to be dying things at Apple and elsewhere.
I wonder who bailed first?
I think this is good, and may also improve reviews. I doubt that Nature has an issue with substandard reviews, but I have definitely seen it in some of the computer science conferences I submit to and have served on [1]. If reviewers know that their review may be published, I think they may turn in more substantial reviews.

[1] In computer science, conference publications are peer-reviewed and highly competitive. We also have journals, but most novel work appears in conferences. The more theory oriented parts of computer science will tend to publish in journals more, but they still publish in conferences, too.
Nice! I'm in SF!
A nice thread from 2014: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8723728.
This is not a HiSilicon thing, but instead a "feature" of Sofia DVR software made by XiongMai (Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology Co.,Ltd).

I tried the exploits on my HiSilicon Hi3518 IP camera, and none worked. It has no weird open ports (including telnet, ssh, ftp, http[s]) and communicates with temporary udp ports and the local broadcast IP address.

Basically you broadcast the camera's name, command and hash that includes the password, and if it acknowledges your request it will reply to you on the specified IP and port with a UDP packet. If you want to watch the camera, you have to listen on a port and tell it to send the stream to you. It's a push not a pull configuration.
What's to take away from this?

Automate deployment? Fine but boring. That's the prevailing dogma today. I don't remember where the devops hype train was in 2012. Package management had already been a solved problem for years even though it was (and continues to) be regarded as involving too much "icky reading" and a repository system using plain directories on vanilla webservers; all way too unoptimized for resume padding.

Learn how to identify and manage risk like an engineer? Understand how business process and software can implement risk controls and mitigations?

I kid, so I don't cry.

MacOS users stereotypically have more disposable income (not proving a source for that), and Linux users have a lot more hardware flexibility so they don't need a "gaming PC in the cloud" as much.
This is the reason I hate SAP. There are a small bunch of people who can know it, and they make huge money largely because of this artificial scarcity.
Theoretically yes, but the hardware cost of encoding their microscopic, in streaming terms, number of videos would have to be absurd to even come close to the savings they get from lowering their bandwidth by 20%.
"just to make somebody with a limited lifespan feel powerful and rich."

Wow that last sentence really puts things into perspective. How can be reverse course and throw a wrench in the system? We are the makers, we should be able to wrestle back control and do it democratically and get politicians on our side to legislate this ad industry into the ground.
The problem is not apple stealing the feature idea. The real issue is Apple using its monopoly power on its platform by kicking the competition out.
> Can I ask questions about his job, decision making strategy, dealing with his bosses, dealing with budgeting for the entire org etc?

I think that those are all valid questions to ask. In general, you should be able to ask anything of your mentor -- that's why they're there. If you ask something "out of bounds", your mentor will say so (or answer a related, in-bounds question instead) and, if he's any good, there won't be any repercussions.

From having mentored a few people over the years, I can tell you that from my point of view, I've been impressed when people are inquisitive (even inappropriately so) and come prepared. It makes the mentor's job easier for a whole bunch of reasons -- some obvious and some not.
Hey this is cool! I did not see your comment until now. Let me take a look (as soon as I can) and I will see what I can come back to you with.

> Libsodium (a fork of NaCl) is preferable to NaCl.

Can you elaborate on this? Quickly looking over your libsodium based sodium-plus it doesn't seem like it has been audited. (I know libsodium itself had an audit)

Where as for example tweetnacl-js [0] has been audited.

That's not meant to take a dump on your project, but I just don't understand why it is better, or preferable.

Does this mean VFSForGit for Mac is dead? Is there some proposed mechanism for filesystem implementations other than kernel extensions?
When the day comes to pass, we will definitely need to have 2 things:

1) a way to keep debt securitization under control. The rate we saw institutions repackage loans and "insure" them with paper was astronomical and would be dwarfed by equivalents on-chain. Contagion-squared.

2) less friction in a fiat-token on/off ramp means financial institutions are going to need to have a real strategy on blockchain projects. There will be less separation between tokens and traditional markets. Trading patterns of crypto moonboys could potentially spill over to non-crypto markets.
Is any objection that questions the emphasis of "modern law" on private property Marxism?

Georgism, which most people would not define as Marxist, has similar objections to the origins of land ownership, and every defendant against eminent domain claims to be victim of some Soviet dystopia. The book seems to be making a firmly legal realist critique on the implementation of these principles of private property that undergird our society, rather than attacking the principles in general.
That is only for a post written in, say, 2019. A new post that cites old information is still a new post.

Additionally, they _announced_ the deprecation at WWDC, but that did not take immediate effect. The point of this post is that they are as of right now no longer supported.
> It looks like everything in tech got poisoned...

> ...building a toxic monstrosity this industry is becoming just to make somebody with a limited lifespan feel powerful and rich.

That's what you get when you combine shareholder-focused capitalism, the attitude that everything's OK as long as it's legal, and the attitude that we should avoid making things illegal through regulation (so as not to stifle innovation such as this).

IMHO, all of those ideas should be rejected or greatly curtailed because of the poisonous tree that's grown from them (which bears delicious poison fruit).
That's incredible. That's something the rest of the world should strive for.

This reminds me an interview to Eric Schmidt [1].

Here is the interesting excerpt on Google decision to buy Oracle instead of building their own ERP.

"__
How did you convince them that you needed to do this? __

Well, it was actually very interesting. Larry and Sergey suggested that we should build our own, because most of the existing accounting systems weren't any good. And I said, "I'm sure that's true, but you'll never get it audited," And I thought that was a pretty clever argument. The auditors would never pass financials (generated out of software) that we built ourselves. And Larry and Sergey today will complain about the Oracle system, but they'll also say "We had to get one that was auditable.""

The view of atheletes emotions vs non-athletes emotions in the workplace
What are some of your thoughts when you see an athlete like Messi, Ronaldo, Lebron James, etc.. lose a game and they get emotional and start crying? Do you think to yourself that they are emotionally unstable or they aren't normal?

What if I approach my work in IT with the mindset of an athlete? I mean, that is litteraly their day job. Athletes are passionate about what they do and work for, and so am I. I might be working in a server room rather than a court or field, but why judge me differently in a workplace?

I've had some previous employments go bad due to this misunderstanding. I'm very passionate about my work, but there seems to be a lack of understanding of passion and work. thoughts or experiences?

last wacom drivers I used on Windows ( I don't know, 2013? ) would eat memory all day, every day, until self-destruction. I have a screenshot somewhere of the process taking ~28 gigs of memory.

It doesn't at all surprise me that it's sneaking around.

This might be some cargo-cult level religion of mine , but if a driver package has a lot of flashy UI stuff (Wacom, Logitech, Creative), it's probably doing something suspect.

The more the apps look like key-gens, that's when you have to start wiresharkin'.

Thanks for the insight. I was wondering what the two patterns are exactly that you referred to here:

>"With CoreOS, there was little difference in configuration with these two patters, if the infrastructure had the same topology you could essentially use the same config (VM or Baremetal)"

Also are re "cloud images" VMs then, similar to AMIs in AWS?

From Caltech's Spitzer web pages:

Spitzer orbits the Sun on a path similar to Earth's but moves slightly slower. Today it trails about 158 million miles (254 million kilometers) behind our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and the Moon. That distance, along with the curve of Spitzer's orbit, means that when the spacecraft points its fixed antenna at Earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tilt away from the Sun. During those periods, the spacecraft must rely on a combination of solar power and battery power to operate.

The angle at which the panels point away from the Sun has increased every year that the mission has been operating. These days, to communicate with Earth, Spitzer has to position its panels at a 53-degree angle away from the Sun (90 degrees would be fully facing away), even though the mission planners never intended for it to tilt more than 30 degrees from the Sun. Spitzer can communicate with Earth for about 2.5 hours before it has to turn its solar panels back toward the Sun to recharge its batteries. That communications window would grow shorter year after year if Spitzer continued operating, which means there is a limit to how long it would be possible to operate the spacecraft efficiently.

This was back in June 2019.

In addition, after it ran out of coolant back in 2009, they were able to only run one of its three instruments, and only two out of four wavelength channels on that.

Eventually they've reached a point where they cannot get enough science return for the costs of the personnel and DSN time.
The difference is that those Swedish companies could be said to be a result of Swedish policies and cultures, while companies headquartered in LA could just as easily be headquartered anywhere else in California with zero changes to anything, and anywhere else in the US with very, very few changes to anything.

Yes, you compared a city to Sweden, but Sweden is not a city. Sweden is more akin to a state, so it seems more appropriate to compare it to a state. That was the point.
> Are you trying to imply that brokering consumer data is a marginal or non-existant business?

For small/mid-size datasets (which is what we're talking about), yes, that's exactly what I'm implying. It's not actually easy for most companies to sell user data for a quick buck like is being claimed.
Back in 6th grade, my geometry teacher played the "Quadratic Formula Song" for us, which was apparently written by a math teacher who wanted to help his students remember the formula. 14 years later, I haven't factored a polynomial since maybe six or seven years ago, and I certainly don't remember how to "complete the square", but I've been utterly unable to forget that formula no matter how hard I've tried. The song is an earworm, and I think it will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life.

There’s more to it than just Germany. The postwar disillusionment with the old order and the boom/bust was amplified by things like radio and telephone.

The world moved faster, and that brought good and bad things. That’s what worries me... our institutions haven’t caught up with the internet.
Back of envelope total addressable market calculation:

I’m guessing this will appeal greatly to people 3 or 4 standard deviations to the “introverted” side of the introvert/extrovert bell curve. So maybe 0.15% if it’s as high as only 3 sigma.

It’ll be useful to people who’s friendship circles overlap in that 3 standard deviations of introversion.

Let’s assume Dunbars much discredited but widely quoted ideas are right, and that people typically have ~150 social connections.

So there’s about a 1.5:1000 chance that someone would find this useful.

There’s about a 1:50 chance that any of their friends would also find it useful. (That May be higher if introverts tend to have more introverted friends, but is more likely way lower if introverts have fewer friends than extroverts).

In a city of 5 million, there are probably 150 people who’d have one friend for which this is useful, and maybe 3 people who would use it with two of their friends...

My assumptions might be way off. But to a first approximation nobody is ever going to find this actually useful in their real world relationships...

>The very same people that are for these types of rules have abandoned it. With things like "there is no one truth, only my truth" believing that there is more than 1 "truth"

Who are you quoting?

>It has never been the case that you should trust anyone. No Twitter, or the new agencies or anyone. This is why people should be encouraged to look at original sources and multiple sources. This is also why in the age of everyone having only "anonymous sources said" is a huge problem.

So what you're saying is, people should trust "original" sources and "multiple" sources.

But original sources can be misleading, deceptive or have ulterior motives, so how do you verify their authenticity without trusting a third party?

And if no single source can be trusted, how can you trust multiple sources? Surely all sources are equally untrustworthy, even if they all report the same events. How do you verify that a commonly reported narrative is not simply well orchestrated propaganda?

It has always been the case that trust is necessary. Before the internet, people trusted the news. Before television, people trusted newspapers, radio and newsreels. People trust Einstein, Bohr, Newton, Darwin, Euclid without personally doing the necessary experiments to rediscover the entire corpus of modern scientific thought from first principles. Before the printing press and the Enlightenment, people trusted the Clergy and town criers.

Subjective truth is always based on implicit trust. Anyone who believes otherwise about themselves is simply unaware of the systems in which they place their faith and from which they form their biases.

>The other problem is most news is just regulations of another outlet or the "news media" takes a single random tweet from some random person and runs 100 nearly duplicated stories sensationalized based on that single account with no verification.

Absurd hyperbole. "most news" is decidedly not unverified claims from random twitter accounts. I'm guessing you've got some specific instance in mind that you're trying to conflate into a general practice, but if you look at the headlines and news from any mainstream source (CNN, Fox, BBC, AlJazeera, what have you) the vast majority are not the sort of sensationalized, unverified, Twitter-based stories you're describing.

>This has been tried many many times before, it always fails and this too will fail

I really hope that this is the final nail in the coffin for third party Anti Virus vendors.

> If this is a chronic thing, then perhaps there are some unsaid things that need to be said between the friends.

I have an idea for that! How about an app where you can write things to your friend, which are held in the system's escrow.

"unsaidthings.io"

Then a machine learning algorithm compares them for similarity/reciprocity. If they are similar, then the escrow is released, otherwise neither person knows whether the other submitted anything at all, or whether they did and it was different.

The prototype can skip the machine learning algorithm and instead let the people select from one of 64 possible messages that are compared according to a static table. Or else be allowed to compose sentences out of fragments guided by a "writing assistant" which guides their structure into possibilities that are easy to analyze.

I just want to second this and endorse how important it has been for me since I heard[0] about it in the beginning of this year. I'm still finishing the book, but so far so good. I was well aware of the importance of giving myself some sort of prize or award, but the whole framework has been working wonders, especially the idea of celebration and arriving at change by feeling good, not by feeling bad; I didn't expect a change in mood to reflect so much in my objectives and the tiny successes definitely helping add fuel to my well being and overall positive attitude, which invigorates the habits even more.

Function composition is a monoid: (f ∘ g) ∘ h = f ∘ (g ∘ h). For example, (sin ∘ cos) ∘ tan = sin ∘ (cos ∘ tan). It's not commutative in general; sin ∘ cos != cos ∘ sin (in fact, sin(cos(x)) != cos(sin(x)) no matter the value of x).

The identity function I(x)=x is the identity: f ∘ I = f = I ∘ f.
