Agreed, but the courses do offer a good look at the work, and can give a good introduction to the field. Not sure how it is in the US, but here in Germany probably around 3/4 of people studying CS drop out in the first two years.

If people unsure about their path can get a taste for 20 bucks, then that's a pretty great deal!

For reference, that would be about 10x as risky as wingsuit BASE jumping so I guess the addressable market would be rather limited.
In this case it's a 200+ year old cottage on a few acres, which would be very illegal to build now but was pretty standard back when families had 10+ kids. All I'm saying is that 1200 square feet really is plenty for a family with a couple kids.

What's wrong with CrowdStrike? It's perhaps the most respected shop in that list.
I don't have a ton of experience with Udemy. But I took an introduction to Autodesk Inventor class there in January and I thought it was quite good. Was only something like €10 and I was able to do quite complex drawings (at least for what I need) after two days. Much cheaper and probably almost as effective as one of those expensive corporate training classes that are often a €1000,- for just two days.
Which, as I noted, is still a very different experience from go/nim/rust in Debian. It wasn't a pet peeve about no documentation, it is about how I can interact with it compared to to other languages.
In a way, crowdsourcing as long been a very successfully trends in consumer startups.

Now with pioneer.app we can
perhaps see this crowdsource trend finally entering the elite business angels business.

Crowd of selected people are 1) Less biaised perhaps, 2) Divinding the job to hundreds of volunteers can be a good way to GARANTying that the selection job is equality done for each startup
3) And most of it's free.

I generally can agree with this. Encryption is a distraction from the real issue: the weakest chain in the link.

We've recently seen recordings of meeting with Trump and associates. No one is safe.

You must assume your every tap on a smartphone, you every keystroke and interaction with a computer is being logged in some way. You interact with computers by proxy - people entering information on your behalf, perhaps other devices are listening to you, or logging your movements/interactions within the world, perhaps taking videos and pictures of yourself. Profiling who you are, who you talk to, what your financial situation is like, who you care most about, who you align with, your network; colleagues, close and distant friends, those you once interacted with but not so much. A brain capable of recording every minute detail that you may want to forget. Details can be recalled within seconds and just a few keystrokes, a second by second recording in ultra high quality and the density of information being stored is unmatched to any other time in history.

If somebody wants to get your information, they will get it, one way or another. This much has been proven true again and again.

So sure, use your fancy tools and gadgets, but be clear, one day, it's highly likely what you wanted to keep private may become public.

But if you represent part of the society that is entirely against said strong governments policies which directly affects you, relations, or your morals and ideals - you don't want strong governments to have unmitigated power.

But instead people end up voting for a party just because its the only one that can beat "the other", not because it actually represents their ideology. All the talk of freedom and sovereignty goes out the window when we concede that our only practical options are limited by the ruling system and not stifled by a foreign entity.

A meaningless vote to me is one that only counts for one and only one possible option in a vast sea of them. That's what PR and STV address better than FPTP in a democracy.

Bigger unions in the world are forming not dying and the UK will get eaten up by one of them or remain a secluded island of funneling suspect finances, it won't be the one pushing its weight around other big unions, it's the empire mentality that hasn't been shaken off and the sooner it fades the better decision making by the national government and people.

If you pivot from video games to pen and paper or board games, this is essentially the FLGS model ("Friendly local game store"). These stores are constantly going belly up and the ones that don't are essentially kept on life support by magic the gathering or other card game sales. My city of 1 million has 2, compared to 10 or so GameStop's. We don't have a Waterstones as far as I know, but we have a locally owned book store with a similar model. But again, just 1 such book store. The other 2 big book stores are the typical chains selling local interest, biographies and cards, rather.

It doesn't seem like the model that'd fit a big company with shareholders and would require serious downsizing to be sustainable.

I wonder if it would be possible to create a vector image format that could identify the shapes and paths that are critical for legibility, and then write a scaling algorithm that is able to produce crisp results at 16x16 from the vector source.

On the outset that feels like a really hard problem.

On recent distros, I've found MX (mxlinux.org) to be quite responsive. They are now also experimenting with FluxBox ( https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-fluxbox-2-0-settings-now-availab... ) and that really makes it quite snappy as it is very light on resources.

Another distro I like is "Linux Mint Debian Edition" ( https://linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php ) that feels more "light-weight" than its Ubuntu derived counterpart Linux Mint.
In that case, the problem seems a bit exacerbated by using a renderer that is very bad at rendering at small size. I'm sure you could render that to be a bit less of a jaggy and blurry mess.
Been following courses on their site for a while. Those 95% or $10 offers are around almost all year round. I have bought courses at random times and have never ever paid more than $20. They are fishy about the pricing but I personally did find the courses valuable.
I hate to break it to you but France and Germany both have intelligence agencies that operate in the same way as GCHQ, both are allied with the NSA (although not to the same extent), and all of these governments care equally little about the matter. There is no EU exceptionalism here - their agencies just aren't quite as well funded or quite as good at hacking. But the differences are minor.

Perhaps you believe that whilst the member states are pro-mass surveillance, the EU itself isn't?

https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-spy-school-defense-po...

There's no real difference between countries on the matter of mass surveillance. I wish it were the case, but it's also hard to argue that they should be totally pro-privacy and shutting down their intelligence agencies when the public doesn't care and in fact, a big chunk of the public wants better protection from terrorism.

Whilst the consensus on sites like HN may well be that mass surveillance is dangerous and bad, that argument hasn't been won with the general public. At least, not yet.
The point I'm making is that my desktop PC sitting in my office now does have more of everything compared to my 133MHz PC from 1995. Not everything has scaled up at the same pace, sure, but literally every piece of hardware is better now.

People talk about difference in resolution and color depth? 640x480x16 isn't that much less than 1920x1080x32. My current resolution has 13 times more data than my 1995 one, and my HW can handle refreshing it 120 times per second and fill it with millions of beautiful anti-aliased polygons all interacting with each other with simulated physics and dozens of shaders applied calculating AI behaviour, path finding, thousands of RNG roll, streaming data to and from disk and syncing everything over the network which is still limited by the speed of light. As long as I play Path of Exile that is.

Opening desktop software is perceptually the same as in the 90s. From launching to usable state is about the same amount of time, and it's not doing so much more that it can explain why current software takes so long.

If I can play Path of Exile at 120fps it's obviously not an issue of HW scaling or not being able to achieve performance.
GameStop bought stardocks digital distribution site, Impulse, years ago, before Origin or Uplay. People didn't buy from it as it didn't have the variety or sales when it was owned by Stardock, and started to embrace many of GameStop's worst aspects when owned by GameStop.

Also the prices still weren't great, they were probably worried about impacting their store sales, but steam did that for them
Do you mean this in general or for Stripe? For the former, you have to run some tests on production after initial setup and major changes surely? API keys could be wrong for a start and a lot of web services don't give you a programmatic way to sync settings between environments.
There are hardware watchdog implementations that offer this feature natively. There are two configurable intervals, a "soft" and a "hard" watchdog deadline. If you miss the soft deadline, you get a NMI, and you make the interrupt handler log whatever it can. If you miss the hard deadline, the whole thing resets.

Fun story: I've only had this fail on me once. There was a hardware bug in the interrupt controller which caused the wrong vector to be invoked for NMIs.
I don't know if this was just the culture and influence from Kalanick, but Uber all around seems like a terrible company.

Seems to me they're increasingly targeting businesses, with their Udemy for Business offering that is a subscription service. I have a course published there and currently get about half of the revenue from the Udemy for Business share.

The TechCrunch article also mentions this: "It also has, in more recent years, expanded to enterprise services, where Udemy works with companies like Adidas, General Mills, Toyota, Wipro, Pinterest and Lyft and others — 5,000 in all — to develop and administer subscription-based professional development courses."

Well, I said it's at least as secure as visiting https://example.dk in your browser, where your attack is equivalent to the hosting company or DNS provider generating a new TLS certificate for that domain without the knowledge of Alice, the nominal registrant.

Given the Kafka course has 56,023 registered students alone even at the lowest offer price minus Udemy fee's he's done alright out of it.

Many EU laws are badly thought out nonsense that doesn't make anything better and often makes things worse. So yeah, that's pretty much the meat of it. Lawmaking is hard. You say yourself, you view British politicians as incompetent - so you recognise that lawmaking is a matter in which competence can make a big difference.

A simple sort of plan that British companies might have could be, for instance, to not require tons of annoying cookie popups on their websites.

In other cases expect laws to get tighter. EU financial regulation isn't as solid as the UK's is. This was a sore point after the collapse of the Icelandic banks. British regulators had raised the alarm over those banks but could do nothing to stop them because they were regulated by Iceland and under EU rules the UK had to allow them to trade. When they went pop and the Icelandic government refused to bail them out, the Brits were left carrying the can. Given that financial regulation is popular with the public I'd expect that to be one of the areas in which regulations diverge.

I believe the best idea is to have “hand-crafted” bitmaps for (96 ppi) sizes 24 px and less. Especially 16 px icons are very hard to get right.

For 32 px and above, vector images are a valid choice.

Now we just need a file format that combines all this. :)

On the other side even the smallest PICs and Atmels have sooo much EEPROM and flash memory available. I am still amazed how much better these chips got in the last decade. You have all the I/O you could want, nearly endless memory and the chip costs less than a bubblegum.

In smaller systems for memory checks I always have a complete self-check routine at boot. Although I cannot even remember when I had the last error for internal memory. The quality seems to be quite high, even after many read/write cycles. Never implemented that for a system with virtual memory.

What I mostly miss in embedded systems isn't debugging, it is having real unit tests without having the target board and all the periphery installed in a laboratory, which is the only location I can feasibly run any tests. And those are mostly restricted to integration tests.

I actually think HVIF is one of the few things Haiku has done that's good engineering and deserves to see more use in something actually popular but it's very niche.

Per-file icons is a nice way to get cheap previews, especially at higher resolutions. For 2D images a fairly naive previewing method is to just flatten the whole image and scale it. For a PDF it will often but not always be useful to render the first non-empty page, then as you get into video, 3D or sounds it all starts to trickier.

However of course HVIF doesn't benefit any of these use cases, it's at its best when an artist has spent some effort learning techniques specific to the format and then hand crafts each icon accordingly.

HVIF in practice mostly gives icons to application software, so this technique lets Haiku use the directory of binaries to get back a set of icons for the applications those binaries implement, without doing a small file read per application as would happen in say Windows. A small advantage.
At sizes like 32 px, you still want more control over line widths and details than a regular vector format grants you. For images that small, you still want to emphasise some things more than others.
> I don't have enough of the infrastructure of signal's ephemeral key pre-sharing front of mind. But I really hope there is some way to get this to work in a federated system.

Well, there's one major hurdle: multiple devices. Pre shared keys (and one time keys, and ratchet keys) are generated on the user's computer. If there's several of them, say a Wintel desktop and an Android palmtop, messages sent with the desktop's pre-shared keys can't be decrypted by the palmtop¹.

So we need a need to synchronise those keys between the devices. The easiest way to do it is to store the private half on the recipient's server. But then you need to encrypt them to prevent the server from breaking forward secrecy. The encryption key must then be shared across both desktop and palmtop. (UI wise, it's pretty easy: connect both devices to the server, then manually type on the new device some low-ish entropy secret the old device is displaying on screen.)

The starting point would be to look at font rendering, especially hinting. I'm not sure if any of the popular font formats allow for adding more strokes when rendering at larger sizes, so they may not have much ability to scale image complexity, but they definitely have what you need to optimize for legibility at small sizes.

The physical location of the data doesn't matter. US employees can access any datacenter remotely around the world, so I often wonder why this topic comes up at all.

For a while playing games with physical location was a neat legal hack in the US specifically, but the USG closed that loophole a few years back if I recall correctly and can now force US firms to give up data even if it's in a foreign datacenter.
If you can get away without explaining it explicitly, that's great.

But if you make a user interface for eg pilots to fly a plane, there are other things to optimize for than not-having-to-explain-anything.

Similar considerations apply in less extreme scenarios, too.

> For 32 px and above, vector images are a valid choice.

Well, that depends on your screen's density and how much you care that your design is aligned to the pixel grid. For a very long time most iOS icons were hand-aligned to the pixel grid, and when they switched to vector icons in iOS 13 they looked awful because they were aligned poorly.

IMO this is only an issue insofar as low resolution (~96 PPI) displays go. Of course you can just about always make better use of pixels by hand, but its not about making the absolute best possible use, just getting the job done and looking nice. How often do we even have 16x16 pixel icons in modern UIs?
Okay... but a perceived motive and characterization of something doesn't actually make it so.
