Maybe the "censorship" you're referring to is a bad thing (though note that without any further information about what you're describing, I'm inclined to be skeptical of that). But you definitely haven't shown any link between that and Patreon's financial troubles.

Rather more egregious than anything Waterfox does.

Don't let this stop you. The world needs more good engineers, and if you practice your craft you will always find a home. There are plenty of industry professionals who now look a bit silly for their choice of company (Uber, WeWork) but ultimately it's all just a job and if you have the raw skills you can find a new gig.

It's mind-boggling to me that many projects I've heard about and worked on treat (hardware) watchdogs issues as impossible to debug, for the exact reason you mentioned...they didn't set up a software watchdog.

Doing some basic groundwork and implementing the timer/software watchdog, writing out to logs when a watchdog is about to trigger, and not disabling the watchdog during development are all basic things teams can do to more easily catch these issues before shipping firmware.

JSYK: I do believe this was mentioned in the post as well, under the section 'Adding a “Software” Watchdog', but when a little bit further and implemented a per-task watchdog.

> Creativity and censorship cannot live side by side.

Nonsense. Child porn is "censored" from every developed country and, therefore, serious creative platform.

Similarly, removing hard-core racists has not dampened creativity on Twitter, reddit, Facebook, or any other site. Most people can make brave, insightful, challenging art without crossing that line.

Taika Waititi just made a movie where Hitler is a main character. It caused no controversy and was nominated for major awards.

Private companies don't censor. The racists can go to their own site, like 4chan. Art will be fine without them.

Depends on what kinds of guarantees you want. At the extreme, you can make everything in the system late-bound, and then you simply have a dynamic language instead of a static one.
Great question - volume of stuff is proxy for your estimated increased cost of living. More stuff, more likely to have a bigger household, higher everyday living expenses (hence, "additional living expenses" would be even more!) It's not perfect, which is why it's adjustable, but have to start somewhere.
In that case why not something simpler like XMPP + OMEMO?
When discussing universal statements, counterexamples are arguably useful.

More importantly, though, I think we're all dealt a huge hand of cards--many at birth, some later--some beneficial, some deleterious. In a form of social bikeshedding, we tend to concentrate on things like race and gender because they're obvious. It's far from clear, though, that they constitute more than a tiny fraction of the cards that matter. Denouncing someone because of their race, gender, etc., seems pointless and cruel. I prefer to deal with each person as an individual.
What makes you think it's ok to make wide, sweeping generalizations about how people of a certain race and gender think and how do you think that doesn't constitute racism?
Most Emirates long haul flights departing from AMS,BCN or MXP seem to be that cheap, I'm sure there are other cheap airports but I'm too lazy to look. This is probably the case with all the euro airports that don't charge super high fees and lack large quantities of F pax.

I'm seeing MXP-HKG at 4000eur for a round trip, MXP-BKK for 3800eur. There are probably even better deals available if departing from some third world countries.

I guess you're from the UK, I'm seeing BHX-HKG priced at around 151GBP/hr. Shockingly, LHR-HKG looks even cheaper at somewhere around 100GBP/hr.
No, it's physical. That's on purpose, because it requires me to sit down at the beginning of my day and pull it out. The writing and routine of it is very therapeutic. I normally do it over my morning coffee and reddit/hn browsing.
Much of the information floating around regarding 2019-ncov has hallmarks of "conspiracy theory" because it is all happening in real time and legitimate media is unwilling to publish anything without confirmation from "official" sources...who in turn are not willing to confirm anything because anecdotal reports and pending peer review journal articles do not meet (understandable) verifiability standards. This unfortunately relegates any news to unnofficial "conspiracy" channels and gives people a dangerous justification for dismissing potentially legitimate reports.

If you've been paying attention for the last month or two, there are hundreds of anecdotal reports and videos all pointing toward the same grave conclusions - not to mention dozens of published (awaiting review) papers at this point and, increasingly, many if not most of the rumors from 1-2 months ago are gradually being confirmed. Look no further than China's unprecedented response to this outbreak - 700 million people are under lockdown and their GDP is effectively shut down.

Frankly, the modern media establishment's standards for proof are too high to adequately cover such a rapidly unfolding catastrophy when the majority of information has to come from unofficial leaks because ground zero is an authoritarian regime which controls what it's citizens can say amongst themselves and to the rest of the world. This epidemic is far worse than westerners currently seem to understand, and if it is not contained, the chaos that will grip the rest of the world will be truly awesome to behold. This is a virus which is at least as deadly as the infamous 1918 flu, likely more virulent (R0 estimates anywhere from 3 to 6+), and there is still no cure, though a paper was published on the 4th with chloroquine as a potential candidate. Plus, based on autoimmune reactions induced by all previously developed viable vaccine candidates for SARS and MERS, there is unlikely to be a vaccine for this coronavirus as well.

As I've been saying for a month now, we should not be panicking, but there's no excuse at this point not to be prepared. WSJ announced 5400 people in California are under quarantine today. 700 people in WA under supervision from authorities. Personally I'm moving to minimize my reliance on the government in the case that this pandemic spreads to the U.S. at large, based on the rank incompetence that we see in government activities on a frequent basis.

Honestly watching so many average people dismiss 2019-ncov has been a fascinating exposé on the potential for centralized information control in free speech societies - if you're a 3 letter agency and you want something to disappear from public consciousness, just preemptively leak the story to "questionable" sources and suddenly the media won't report on it and people will balk at you for posting junk sources. What a world we live in!

I believe that's why you do the ISA packaging described in the article where you sell the ISAs off to the get the cash to keep going while someone else gets to think about the long-term cash flows. Banks do the same thing with loans.

This all works unless the instruments aren't audited well where the risk is higher. (think: ratings agencies in the housing crisis) Here the risk is that payback is bad, but we don't know yet, so investors are left holding the bag.

This latter scenario is really only bad for the investors and wastes the student's time, but then again the current college system already does this, so at least this doesn't shackle them with debts they can't pay.

Of course later investors won't buy the ISA packs if they first blow up, but seemingly no one gets hurt if it all goes up in flames.

The German Public Broadcaster DW has a short video[1] covering this, including some of Kentaro Iwata's video statement.

The mention that the Japanese government is allowing it's citizens to leave and use public transit seems like a very risky and foolhardy move.

While I'm certainly no expert, and I'd definitely hate to be stuck on that ship - I think Japan could surely have set up some kind of field isolation area in the last few weeks and get passengers off and isolated using proper quarantine protocols.
The statement by Kentaro Iwata makes it clear that nobody with a background in infectious diseases was involved in setting up proper quarantine procedures onboard the ship.

It's pure bias of the most obvious sort, completely 100% political.

Note that none of the complaints involve being unable to report news, fake or otherwise. Meanwhile, better rankings go to numerous places where you literally can't report some kinds of news without facing prosecution.

I've been using Cython since it was called Pyrex, and I'm perpetually annoyed with rewriting c/c++ headers in Cython. This seems neat. But the reason that I use Cython is that I can wrap complex data structures (including templated c++ classes) and do processing in a fuzzy boundary between Python and c/c++.

The "code-free" approach here seems to forbid such a fuzzy boundary. Am I wrong?

You couldn't possibly provide any evidence because none of the evidence ever reached the public. DNC never allowed FBI to investigate the servers, so all "evidence" you have are claims originating from CrowdStrike, a private company on DNC's payroll known for lies and manipulation.
The point is that smaller companies are less full of _people_. Less bureaucracy, less institutional inertia and more relative influence of each individual.

Back in 2000 I was a new college grad doing manual data entry as a temp in Boston for 1200-page industrial supply catalogs, wishing I had majored in CS instead of English. (I've programmed since 8 and by then I already knew BASIC, Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl, Scheme, and Javascript, but I thought the humanities were more interesting. Alas there aren't many jobs reading Shakespeare or Dostoevsky. :-)

The idea was that this army of temps would enter data into a home-grown Java app, then someone would push a button to spit it all out as XML files, and then there was a Perl program that would read the XML files and "drive" QuarkXPress to automatically create pages with optimal product position to minimize whitespace at the bottom of columns. But there was a bug and every special character got printed with extra spaces around it. For example ™ ® © ° ± ² – — ‘ ’ “ ”. There were hundreds per page. (Think row after row of 1¼” ID 1¾” OD Fastenal™ Supertight® hex nut.) So just when they thought the project was over, they asked us all to stay and use red pens to mark up proofs so that another army of graphic designers could fix the problems in Quark by hand.

I looked at the Perl code, and it was using a regex to replace our own special codes (something like [tm] etc IIRC) with the unicode chars, but the regex had extra spaces, something like

s/\[(\w+)\]/ $replacements{$1} /g

Elsewhere the developer was fond of the /x option, so I assume he just omitted it here.

I tried editing the code and saw that it fixed the problem, so I told my manager. He asked me to write a letter to the developer (who was in another office across town), so that night I wrote a 3-page explanation and brought it in. To remove two blank spaces.

A day or two later my manager said the developer approved, and he asked me what salary I'd accept to work there full-time as a programmer. :-)
Emperion Nebulus: Company claims it is ready to offer a Windows 10 Phone
>Ordinary people don’t exchange email messages that any powerful adversary would bother to read, and for those people, encrypted email is LARP security.

We are literally living in an age where the NSA is spoofing cell towers to intercept and save unencrypted (and probably encrypted) traffic to a database that will probably be around as long as the NSA exists. This is naive and everyone should be taking precautions against the kind of power that a true authoritarian government would literally kill for.

I'm also personally insulted to be accused of LARPing for taking steps to preserve my privacy. Even if something like protonmail isn't perfect, assuming it isn't compromised it's orders of magnitude better than outlook, Google, et al who are literally scanning your messages.

Edit: let me clarify my point, because people seem to be misinterpreting what I'm saying. The fact that encrypted email is partially broken does not mean that it doesn't currently reduce the leak surface. If I send 5 emails from a service like protonmail to @outlook.com and 5 emails to @gmail.com, that's two fractured datasets vs sending 10 from a Gmail account where they're all scanned into one database. Locks are trivially picked but that doesn't mean I'm LARPing to everytime I leave my house and lock my doors.
That's a great link! Thank you, very much

I've worked on a few internal tools for the company I intern at and I've always been told to use Postgres. Don't get me wrong, I love Postgres, but for an internal application that won't get any significant concurrent interaction, Sqlite is the way to go in my opinion. Maybe I'll try to mention it at the next meeting.
There wouldn't be a need if our government was good at school execution and innovation, but it isn't.

I'm not sure I understand the criticism to my previous comment. If System1 would change any privacy aspects (which they won't) and I assume people are going to assume for worst case scenario - users would need to be notified. Then, System1 would lose all trust and no-one would use Waterfox.

The author, Kyle Simpson, has some really good video courses available online as well. He goes further in depth about some of the more interesting topics in YDKJS and is really able to sell some of his patterns.

Again, Kyle’s material was better digested after some practical experience with the language.

So, I read this trick works on older third party hardware running MobilEye software. Not newer Tesla "Hardware 3" and software, which I understand is blocked from reading speed limits in the first place due to a patent. Are they going to use a database of speed limits instead?

Currently MobilEye has the patent on reading speed limits and other traffic signs. How they managed to get it on such a trivial image processing task is beyond me...
What about Boom Supersonic? They are partnering with Prometheus fuels that pulls carbon out of the air and turns it into fuel and also focusing on a commercial jet rather than private. There isn't even any mention of sustainability other than in the title of this article.
Flying private is as much about comfort as it is about time efficiency. Maybe the speed increases will make up for time spent on security lines, ticketing, boarding and departures but I suspect you'll start to see private supersonic jets for those that can afford them.
