> If I buy something on my card it takes at least three days before it is listed in the HSBC mobile app or web site.

That's actually the case for my HSBC UK account too. It's impossible to know accurately what the balance of it really is at any time too; both the real balance and the available balance fluctuate wildly with no obvious relation to the transactions, which are delayed by a variable 1-3 days (presumably depending on the type of transaction). They seem to be about ten years behind all the startup banks.
Yes, I agree that the number of women entering the field has continued to drop as the field has continued to gain in prestige. My friend Ann, who wrote an operating system in assembly which for several years provided the bulk of the revenue for the cloud computing startup where she worked, has explained that when she got started with programming, it was because IBM was trying to convince its customers that computer programming was so easy that even women could do it. In an environment that sexist and in that particular way, it was inevitable that the dawning recognition of the intellectual challenge of programming would be accompanied by women being excluded from the field by unjustified prejudice.

I don't think law and medicine have a similar stereotype of being purely for geniuses (which fortunately is starting to soften for software), and certainly haven't newly acquired it since the 1960s. Fields that do have such a stereotype, such as math, physics, aeronautical engineering (“rocket science”), and medical subspecialties such as neurosurgery, continue to have very few women. You can readily verify this; one book that goes into some depth about the mechanisms of exclusion is my friend Linley’s Who’s Afraid of Marie Curie.
Ditto. I cancelled a reservation because the "house rules" (which you can only see after reserving) were super shady and basically stopped short of admitting to being an illegal rental. I cancelled the reservation weeks before the stay, but because it was after the initial 48 hours of booking, I got screwed out of half the cost. Their support didn't give a damn either, despite me having used the site many times over the past half decade with no problems. They lost their way and I hope they crash and burn.

> In a notice issued by China's National Health Commission (NHC) on Feb. 6, it wrote that the classification of new Wuhan virus infections will be divided into four categories: "suspected cases," "clinically diagnosed cases," "confirmed cases," and "positive tests." Among these, "positive tests" refers to "asymptomatic infected patients" who test positive for the disease but have no symptoms.

> There is also a clear stipulation in the official document stating that "If the reported 'asymptomatic infected patient' has clinical manifestations, their status shall be revised to 'confirmed case' in a timely manner" (highlighted text in Tweet below). This indicates that even if a person tests positive for the disease but does not exhibit any symptoms, they will no longer be included in the daily infection reports.

Sure, there are many base libraries Pure OS on the Librem 5 uses, but most of them have never really been used on mobile devices and as you mention require qite signifficant enahancements.

Then in comparison, there are libraries that have been used on mobileLinux devices for a while and even open source native applications (mostly on Plasma Mobile & Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS apps are still sadly mostly closed source).

Not making use of and extending all the mobile friendly software almost seems like starting from scratch to me.

BTW, what telephony midleware is Pure OS using ? Ofono, FSO or something else ?

When I read this, I immediately began thinking if there is someone I know who has been involved in both science/math and TV/movies and the name that popped up for me was Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan has Erdos-Bacon number of 6.

We've been running mypy on our project for about a year now and it's one of the best decisions we've made. Code is easier to read and write.

We implemented it progressively. At first I added it as a make target but didn't make it mandatory in CI so I could learn how to use it. Then I made it mandatory for a few files that I was the only active contributor to. Then I slowly added more and more files across the project, sometimes as I touched them for other reason and other times as independent changes. Eventually as mypy caught more and more bugs in other contributor's changes they started getting on board and adding type hints as well, until the vast majority of the project was hinted (we'll be getting to 100% within a few weeks).
A little over a month into my first engineering job, I decided to go for a weekend stroll. I threw my work laptop into my messenger bag on the off chance I'd wind up in a cafe and feel like checking email or poking at some code. Started the day right with a hearty breakfast burrito, popped into the health food store down the street to pick up a couple bottles of local kombucha for later (gotta have those probiotics), and off I went.

After two or three hours of exploring, I noticed something weird: it was a sunny LA afternoon, but I felt something like a drop of liquid hit the back of my leg. I kept walking, but felt another drop, so I stopped and checked. Yep, definitely real and definitely liquid. Also, it smelled like vinegar. Where was it coming from? Who would do such a thing, and how?

Perplexed, I walked on, until my bag started emitting a drawn-out Mac startup tone, and I realized just what I'd done. I opened it up, and sure enough: the seal on one of my kombucha bottles had failed, and its entire contents had emptied into my new work laptop.
See edit on my first post for clarification on the 24 day estimate.

Really, any of the scripting languages.

My recollection is there was a lot of disdain for scripting languages because they could not match the speed of C or other low level languages. Today, computer speed is so many orders of magnitude faster it’s hard to believe the speed of scripting languages was ever an issue.

John Ousterhout’s paper on programmer productivity gains comes to mind:

I hired someone from a bootcamp who was making a career change and it was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Took a little while to ramp up, but that process helped me be a better manager and helped the rest of the team feel comfortable mentoring someone.

It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. But saying you’ll never hire anyone means you’re missing out on some great candidates. Take a look at people making career changes, and where you can use that domain knowledge to broaden the team in a way someone with CS degree necessarily might not.
On the AI side of the fence the approach has been "let's see just how far Reinforcement Learning can take us, and then start making up stories (hypothesis) about what the secret ingredients are that are missing." On the neuroscience side of things my sense is that that's not a question that can be empirically answered any time soon. This experiment was interesting because they new what they were looking for going in. "What algo are these cells running?" is a hard question, "are these cells' firing activities consistent with this given algo is comparatively easy. Inference vs hypothesis testing.
Someone's "Bacon" number is how many films you have to go through in order to go from that person to Kevin Bacon. For example Patrick Stewart's Bacon number is 2. Star Trek: First Contact -[James Cromwell]-> Beyond All Boundaries -> Kevin Bacon.

Someone's Erdős number is the same concept, but applied to coauthorship on research papers.

Someone's Erdős-Bacon number is the sum of those two numbers.

I'll admit, on /r/HongKong the "unify with mainlanders" posts don't rise up. It is not trendy. Probably because a lot of people interact with mainlanders that are against their movement. Which my understanding is that this is a selection bias (mainlanders that support them aren't seen). But this is going to happen in any movement that has a lot of fear in it (there is clear justification for the fear).
"Rewrite the slow bits" only works when you have a solid hot loop that you can rewrite. But what if most of your program is the hot loop?

This reminds me of that case when Russia deployed its radioelectronic warfare gear in Syria, and the US complained that it interfered with the US's own radioelectronic warfare gear.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd be the last person to carry water for Huawei, but realistically each country that hopes to maintain its sovereignty should build their data infrastructure on their own. Especially first world countries who have the means and the technology to do so. Otherwise you end up with Barack Obama listening in on Angela Merkel's phone calls and stuff like that.

Which isn't that easy, since the world isn't black and white. And do I even care about morals, or mostly just about my personal data?

As an American it's probably easy to make a choice here, but as a 3rd party I'm not so sure. The US has definitely wreaked more havoc across the globe during the past century, from overthrowing democratic governments to bombing the shit out of countries. The Chinese are reckless whenever they see someone threatening their authority, but egoistically speaking, that 99% applies to Chinese nationals or people living in China. Not my problem.

If my country would go with US equipment, I already know they will get all my data because of things like the patriot act and all the niceties Snowden revealed the NSA et al have.

The Chinese probably have the same, but we don't know anything definitive, which makes it more scary, also they are evil commies. But then again, having access to telco infra only means they get meta data, since traffic is all encrypted nowadays, while the US still gets all my content thanks to Facebook/WhatsApp, Google/Gmail, Amazon, ..., no matter what the 5G equipment is. So is it safer to then say you better buy the 5G stuff from the US so only one party can steal all your data?
A side issue is that non-trivial SVG authoring is painful to do by hand, so most people use some tool to do it. But the exported SVG will work on the rendering engine of the tool, not necessarily wherever it gets rendered downstream, and it can be difficult to know which features of your tool will result in rendering issues downstream. And sometimes the error is just missing content, others (like filters) often render the image completely black.

It's like using a compiler that supports one version of an architecture and you need to learn what you can/can't do in the source code that will result in illegal instructions anywhere else.

While Sketch is (imo) the best editor I've ever used for SVG it's also the worst about using weird SVG features that are poorly supported outside like, Safari and Chrome (I think they use the former).

I'd be curious about that as well: the actual bank support numbers. I'm just one data point, but all of my cards (even my bank's debit card) are supported by GPay, even though all of them also have a dedicated app. I've never tried to use the dedicated apps for NFC payment, though, so I'm not sure if they have that feature.

I've heard of her, so long ago I think I've forgotten almost everything I knew. I do associate her with fission and Otto Hahn.

I've come to find it unbearable to read most journalism about science or technology that I would otherwise find interesting, because it's more and more uniformly aimed at people who are completely ignorant. And that's perfectly logical, because most of the people who are interested in any given piece of knowledge don't know anything about it. Online advertising pressure has exposed a lot of deep truths about what most people like - other people knowing stuff makes people feel stupid, so why should anything ever be written that presumes knowledge? And if not, why should writers know anything?
Because they don't hold a candle to SD chips in CPU/GPU performance and battery life.
I avoid touching my face, stay away from crowds (not that I didn't before, hah!), cough / sneeze into tissue / handkerchiefs, wash my hands properly and have a bottle of sanitizer at all times.

NIST and the NSA should be shunned when it comes to setting crypto standards (apart from setting their own FIPS and such for government users) because they've demonstrated their corruption and efforts to work against the public interest. Instead, an international nonprofit that encourages transparency and academic adversarial due-diligence across the whole lifecycle of standards would be a better vehicle for crypto standards, like an Underwriters Laboratory or similar. (NESSIE-ish but even broader.) It's impossible to remove gamification and attempts to infiltrate standards bodies, but it's important to remove both appearances of condoning their subversion and proactively mitigating all actual infiltration should a fellow, contributor or other affiliate be working on behalf of a foreign government. It's not a "all gubberment bad" thing, but particular parts of government who's culture has infected the integrity of the process to deliver modern, reliable cryptography as a net commonwealth good, but they've chosen instead to create more liabilities and doubt that defeat and outweigh the "benefit" they brought to the table for users outside of government.

Erdős–Bacon numbers got their start when Simon Singh (reference 1 archived) was having lunch with me, and I observed that mine was 4. He writes for a living, so he wrote a column.

Oddly, I was long ago written out of this Wikipedia article.

There is a reasonable ambiguity about Erdős numbers, as people do publish posthumously with him, based on collaborations while he was alive.

There is also an ambiguity about Bacon numbers. One can take the spirit of the original dorm room bull sessions that started Bacon numbers, or one can take the idiosyncrasies as gospel of the web site that now reports Bacon numbers. For example, a mathematician can appear as themself in a documentary, and gain a Bacon number according to this web site. They defend this by observing that these mathematicians did experience film sets (so do caterers) but the reality is that it's too hard to clean the data. I've been interviewed multiple times for documentaries, and the experience bears no resemblance whatsoever to that of working on and acting in "A Beautiful Mind". The original intent was to count actors with credited speaking roles.
Jeannette Wing was my PhD (co)advisor. She is absurdly brilliant. Another CS woman I know who is ridiculously brilliant is Dawn Song (Berkeley).

In my years in academia, IBM Research and Mozilla I mostly worked with men, and many of them were outstanding, but no more than one or two of them could compete with Jeannette or Dawn in terms of sheer intellectual firepower.
I have got used to control-[ for escape on the iPad Pro keyboard. I use Prompt for SSH (I am used to it, should probably try other options) and I find opening Emacs and using control-x 3 to split the screen vertically works well. I then esc-shell in one window and edit in the other, or just have two files open for editing.

If you have a high resolution USB-C interfaced monitor, plugging in the iPad Pro works fine also, but is I am in my home office I just use my laptop. A big external monitor is great though for watching HBO Now, Netflicks, and Prime.
If I was living in America, I'd much rather have the Chinese government spying on me than the American government, and vice versa if I were in China. Obviously that's me as a selfish individual - it does indeed make more sense for America as a whole to not want other nation states snooping on them.
Mostly there, you get a tokenized PAN (DPAN) for every card enrollment. Remove, and re-add a card to your digital wallet and you'll get a new DPAN.

The unpredictable number is an (of a few) inputs into the generation of the CVV3, which is also based on a dynamic key from the issuer. Key rotation is on the order of weeks to months (depending on issuer). This is the "unique number" per transaction (part of tag 57 https://emvlab.org/emvtags/show/t57/ )

DPAN is only good for card-present transactions, provided CVV3, transaction counters, etc.
