I'm not sure if this is what you have in mind (because sandbox/container can mean several things, including things i wouldn't like to see like limiting what applications can do to each other) but one thing that i'd like to see is something like a "desktop chroot": being able to right click an EXE (or zip/installer/msi/whatever) and select "Run this in fresh Windows 10 VM" where the application runs in a VM (either inside its own window or seamlessly, could be an option) as if it was the only application installed in a fresh Windows 10 installation, optionally with a way to make this VM permanent as a desktop shortcut, until you decide to delete it and remove the entire thing as if it never existed. This would make it easy to experiment with applications you do not fully trust or simply trying out applications in an environment that wont affect your real working one.

It is kinda/sorta possible to do that now using something like VirtualBox, but you need to create a full Windows 10 installation (which takes several GBs), it takes time to install (you can save some time by exporting a fresh installation to an appliance - at expense of more space - though you'd also need to disable networking otherwise after a while the moment it notices internet will start upgrading) and it can't use the computer resources properly (it runs much slower, you have no access to the GPU, etc). A properly integrated Windows 10 solution would be to map existing files to VM so that it reuses 99% of the stuff that would be the same and, if needed, do a copy-on-write in cases where these files are altered inside the VM (it could also help to see what exactly the programs inside the VM touch, sort of a system-wide diff... though that can also have false positives if the changes are by the OS itself).

This sounds like it was meant to be pejorative, but it's what (applied) linear algebra, and applied mathematics more generally, is. Anyone can learn about a certain mathematical topic upon realising it's the one relevant to the problem they're facing—and learn it way more quickly, due to motivation and focus, than they would in a general-purpose course on the topic; the art is in recognising what mathematics is relevant, and you can't do that if you've never heard of it before. Having a library of (conceptual, not cookbook) solution hooks on which to hang your problems is how you get to be good at using mathematics.
Is there a Chrome/Firefox equivalent of tiles for the homepage? I didn't appreciate tiles when they screwed up the Windows 8 Start Menu but I think a nice use case would be a browser homepage. (And something with more flexibility than just "here's your most recently opened windows").

American Prison by Shane Bauer

A good read.
> "You are no longer concerned with minute adjustments to the wheel, and you no longer have to maintain a constant high priority task of staying centered in the lines. Now, instead, you perform higher order functions of route planning, estimating traffic flow, observing other drivers and whether they are paying attention or drifting toward you, etc."

i dunno, if you have trouble doing both the minute adjustments (which is usually a mostly subconscious task) and the higher-order functions while driving, maybe you need more practice/training.

there are 30-40k motor vehicle deaths per year in the US (and over a million worldwide). distracted driving is the main culprit (not speed, as most people assume).

we should expect no less than this kind of active driving from every driver.
this seems completely unecessary, it's not an employer's job to tell its employees how to drive to work.
This is cool. It's kind of like the project to algorithmically create prior art of every possible idea in order to weaken patent trolls [1].

> 7 bits of dynamics might not sound like much but I'm not confident in any known musicians ability to express dynamics with more than 127 discrete levels lol...

Think one step further: when I hit a key on the piano, or a fret on a guitar, virtually all other strings resonate to some degree, however minutely, and this has to do with harmonic resonances, the geometry of the piano, etc. (Fourier + chaos). Now the only way to convey that kind of subtlety currently is either to digitize "as a whole" (microphone) or discretely (e.g. individual string sensors); but each has its tradeoff that you don't get from the other (no discreteness in your microphone, and the discrete approach probably won't render any accoustic feel, let alone room shape, etc.

Basically, at a mathematical level, it seems like we should be able to get both worlds — a discrete yet complete description of an "instrument", which obviously has to be designed for the purpose. It's really breaking wide open the barrier between the physics of real-world tangible objects and the mathematics of software objects, computation for music. You may thus simulate analog stuff 'perfectly' (good enough to human ear), or quantize real analog also 'perfectly' (enough).

Obviously you could do all of that now building your own stuff, instruments and software and protocols. But having it baked in MIDI is a game changer in terms of actual mainstream use, thus products to market.

Effectively, psychological injury is part of the punishment.

> If you look at the linked article, the Microsoft Engineer claimed 70% of security bugs in Microsoft products are caused by memory errors. Does Microsoft apply the same tools to all their products or only Windows? Do these tools even exist for other products?

They recently released an AddressSanitizer port for MSVC, and they've had Valgrind-like functionality for Windows userspace for over a decade (see https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/vee06/full_papers/p154-...), but
I don't know of any public source describing what tools they use across their product range, so I don't know. They're well resourced, well motivated, and not stupid, so it would be surprising if they don't use the technology available.

I know that highly capable organizations, e.g. the Chrome and Firefox teams, do use state-of-the-art tools and practices in their browsers and get similar results to the Microsoft 70% number.

Check out Firefox and Chrome, for example, and be surprised.

> learning Rust

This isn't about Rust, but FWIW learning Rust doesn't seem so bad when you compare it to just the learning required to keep up with the ever-growing complexity of C++. (See e.g. Scott Meyers refusing to handle errata for his books because his C++ knowledge is obsolete after a few years out of the game.) Not to mention learning how to use and deploy in CI all the static and dynamic analysis tools you need to keep your C++ code safe(-ish).

Hm. Wife had eye check at big box store. The guy said "Oh, you have Macular Degeneration. Nothing to do about it sorry. Just go home and go blind".

She came home in tears of course. So I said "Go to a reputable ophthalmologist and get a real opinion". So she did.

Of course nothing is wrong with her eyes (despite the power-of-suggestion effects she experienced, but miraculously cleared up once she got a reliable exam). The Dr did say "I can see how they made the mistake; you have some small adhesions to your retina, but they'll clear up by themselves"

So no, I'm not going to a big box store to get my medical care. Never mind the price. I'll get a professional, or go without. Can't be worse than our experience at the discount-home-goods place.

There might just be some people who need 10 hours, but I would still look at sleep quality issues. The CPAP thing sounds like a good step, but there could be other causes.

Do you wake up feeling well-rested? I know that when I used to always sleep 10 hours/night, I still wanted more sleep when I got up.

Somehow I managed to change that, though, and now I wake up after 6-6.5 hours. And I feel more well-rested than I did before after 10+ hours. I'm not completely sure of the reasons, as I wasn't seeking it out, but the timing correlates well with starting to exercise regularly. Finally getting a mattress that works for me might also be part of it.

At any rate, the main thing is that it happened. I didn't really know it would or could, which is why I didn't aim for it, but I'm glad it did. And I'd hope for the same for anyone else in a similar position. Sleep quantity only goes so far to make up for quality, and life is too short to be struggling to get proper rest.

My main reason was that I felt programming into advanced age was an untenable career path, since I'd have to expend more effort competing with fresh CS grads. This was a concern for me as my wife and I were planning to move overseas eventually, where the talent bar was higher. Additionally, I also had exposure to leadership and people-oriented thinking during my tertiary study, which I found stoked my fire more so than programming.

While I still get joy from programming, upon reflection I've come to realise that my career in IT was borne from a love of programming in isolation in my younger years. Working in a team environment on projects I'm not invested in, sapped my passion. Also, because I had worked in IT for so long, I had developed a disinterest in the field, so I didn't want to work it in even in a leadership capacity. Simply put, it was time for a change.

I now classify it as a hobby, and enjoy daily activities in my new role which are rich and interesting again.

In my experience, there's a sort of hierarchy of skills relevant to the game or competition. There are basic skills (like being fast and accurate with aiming, or predicting the opponent's movement), and then there are skills that are dependent on basic skills (leading targets), skills that are only possible once basic skills become automatic (map awareness), or skills that are situational.

The "fundamentals" are usually the 80% mark on this graph: it's the generally agreed upon set of skills that are relevant in 80% of situations, so if you have your fundamentals down better than your opponent, you will win in 80% of those situations. The meta might win you the other 20%, but that's capped at 20%.

You develop antibodies to the virus. However if that virus mutates seasonally (like influenza does for example) a different strain may still infect you at a later date.

Thus far that doesn't seem to be the case but who knows what will happen in the future.
Hence, the presence of a password limit suggests the used of a fixed length field in a DB that stores values in plain-text.

The passwords being stored encrypted with a fixed length cyphertext would make 24 a weird number. That would suggest something like AES-192. Without storing the IV in the same field. Moreover, encrypted passwords are worse than hashed passwords. Because it means you need to secure the encryption key. Whereas with a salted hash, there is only brute force for recovering plain-text passwords.
In the occurrence of internal memory corruption the values returned by public functions exposed in a WASM module can be anything.

The metagame is PARAMOUNT in Starcraft Brood War, which has had no patches in nearly 20 years. The only thing that's changed is the map pool and the players' skill/knowledge (finding some bugs, mapping out defense to rushes, etc.). Thus, players have years and thousands of hour to grind "standard" or "optimal" strategies, and someone who is less creative but more mechanically gifted can advance just by copying cookie-cutter strategies but executing them 5% better.

However, the Brood War leagues know this tendency, so they often add crazy maps to the mix. This season, ASL added Inner Coven, which is a really bizarre island-ish map, and has created a totally new meta. Check out this TvT, it's one of the weirdest games I've seen in years, all due to a map prodding the meta game.

Very curious to see how this plays out.

There's a bunch of underinsured (or outright not insured) folk in the very locations where Walmart is opening these, so it has the potential to kill a couple of different birds with one stone. From a public benefits side, it gives a path of medical care for those that otherwise wouldn't have it (beyond say, an emergency room visit). It also lower prices by competing against insurance bloat.

In doing so, Walmart (may) be able to create a sustainable business by tapping a market (folk that aren't currently going for medical coverage anyway) that would otherwise be untapped.
It's a mindless habit: open a new tab, type "face..." and, as it autocompletes to "facebook.com", hit enter.

As I was thinking about what I need to have open in my various GNU Screen sessions, I was going over things that I would miss from my GUI. That's really the last one that's gotta go! It's a bad habit, but now I can perform the same muscle-memory habit and get a little encouragement.

And so can you!
> so to win, make fewer mistakes, right?

I don't think that is correct according the to thesis (and again, haven't read it so may be misrepresenting).

They are saying that at that (pro) level, not making mistakes is not enough, you have to make things happen too. Obviously making too many mistakes will cost you, but they are suggesting that playing "perfectly safe" can still easily lead to a loss. I don't think anyone was suggesting that pros don't make mistakes (hell, there are entire stats dedicated to this), but rather than merely focusing on minimizing them will not win you a championship.

The idea is that conversely at lower levels of performance, this isn't the case, and it really is mostly about lowering mistake rates. More tellingly, it suggests that the opportunity cost of focusing on anything else is likely too high.

To tie it back to the actual post, this suggests if you are spending a bunch of time and effort "metagaming" but you haven't already mastered the game, you are probably going to have poorer returns than just getting better at the game. This at least sounds plausible to me.
> People of the prisoner class have really, really bought into the capitalist dream. But they were too unlucky, ill-educated, unfortunate, or born in the wrong place to have all the things that society has told them they should have. They were taught from a very early age: You can have it all, not just the wealth but the stuff. Trainers [sneakers] are a big deal, watches are a big deal, cars are a big deal.

This almost nails it. The reality is that the British lower classes can have all the stuff they want; trainers, watches, cars are within the grasp of anyone above the poverty line. But wealth is almost unattianble for the lower classes in the UK. It just doesn't go in that direction.

Yeah, I'm worried how any automatic correction which is not completely specified can be used in medical imaging. We sometimes fail to even compress images correctly (remember the scanners changing numbers due to compression?), so trying to automatically remove artefacts sounds dangerous. We already teach doctors about the artefacts and how to handle them. The image doesn't need to be pretty - just functional.
"For example, his big programs TeX (1982) and METAFONT (1984) are each book-length and the source code of each is in a single large file amounting to about 20000+ lines of Pascal code."

He also used six-character identifiers. He had to. TeX and Metafont were intended to be compiled by lowest common denominator Pascal compilers. Modules, etc., were all vendor specific extensions at the time.

One might consider that to be good engineering.

I think it really shines in heavy traffic. You don't really have to be as vigilant in bumper to bumper traffic, and can take your mind off of constantly stopping and going. After all, the worst that'll happen is you'll get into a fender bender. But I think autopilot is even less likely to cause a collision in those conditions.
