The Erlang version doesn't need to become to run code either. It is just a fun thing to do. It's straightforward to just run the code as well; if you get a function F, you just do F(), assuming the function has no arguments, because you didn't include any; you can also use erlang:apply(F, Args), if you had passed a list of arguments.

Honestly, I think we're going back and forth here, because we're not speaking the same language. I don't know what a crowd is, and I don't know what cancelled means. Those aren't concepts in Erlang. I'm not sure if you mean to have a distinction between 'boot' and 'run', you're using them both, and I think to mean the same thing you send a boot request when you want to run a piece of signed code?

Erlang is foundationally about independent processes with ordered mailboxes. The two ways to interpret cancel in Erlang would be a) send a message 'cancel', and hope the process receives it before completing the work, or b) kill the process. A process can set a flag so that most kills will be turned into sending a message, but there's also an untrappable kill. Processes can also be linked and/or monitored for propagation of kills.

You would typically model something with state like this as a process. The process would essentially be looping on a single function, passing any state it needed to keep to itself. In this case, you'd send it a boot request with the code to run etc, and your process id and a reference to get a response, and potentially a cancellation request, and maybe a get current version, and get running status (you didn't spec it, but they're both useful).

The state in this case, that would be the current version, the public key, the current boot request (if any), and tracking details for the asynchronous signature checking, and tracking the running of the code.

If you want to be able to kill the running code, without killing this process that has the state, then you'd need to spawn a new process to run the code, and you'd track that. If you don't really need that, you could just run the code in this process, and when it returns send back a result.
I can't imagine ever getting used to jet lag. It is the most uncomfortable feeling that I am routinely exposed to. Feels like my body is failing.
Reducing the API surface is also a way to improve privacy, and I also see many ways in which you could do this, e.g. by not revealing the path (or at least the query part) of the URL to extensions. It's entirely doable and most extensions can work fine without knowing every single URL you open. Apple, Google & FB have all shown that this approach works to improve privacy (not that I want to endorse them here as privacy champions), so why should that not work in the browser?

You can also have an officially sanctioned distribution channel like an app store and still retain the ability to install any software you want. The problem as I see it is that Mozilla provides a free distribution and marketing platform for malicious actors via their extension store, and I think this is in violation of their principles (especially principle 4) because it nullifies most of the security features that their browser offers. It's like putting up a 10-feet reinforced concrete wall to protect your house from intruders and then leaving the backdoor wide open.

I really don't want to argue about this here, I just find they're not doing the right thing and I find it sad, because I care a lot about privacy and I think recently Mozilla just took some bad decisions regarding that.
Changing the volume via the left scroll wheel is also accepted as steering wheel input. I normally flick the volume up one level. When the next nag starts, I flick down. I find this easier than applying turning force (which I agree has too high a threshold). I need to be driving on the highway for more than an hour before I bother turning on autopilot, so just like you I don't really use it that much.
How is that different than existing DNS servers?

Because standard DNS servers using mostly UDP can’t track you the way a DoH server can.

The more centralized DoH becomes, the more tempting it’ll be to monetize that traffic.
This comment will stick with me. This is how I have been thinking of it. Google et al are not looking for a person like me.
Reiser is up for parole this year. The hearing is in March. I myself don't have a lot of public respectability, but if you are a CS PhD or occupy a notable position at a tech company you might be able to mail the parole board. Murdering your wife is detestable but I don't think he will ever find another woman to marry him and I don't think he would commit murder under any other circumstances. I don't think he is a continuing danger to society and the world would benefit if Reiser were allowed to continue his work.
You have to be fast because there are a number of employees of the store stationed at cash registers very near the exits. The point here is that those employees don't exist here.
I can understand where you are coming from with concerns over the marketing. I do regularly run into non-owners who are mislead by them as well as an occasional new owner who is disappointed by the reality not matching their expectations.

Unfortunately, if you are hoping for fixes to that, you are likely looking in the wrong place. The safety officials have instead focused on two problems. The first is that Autopilot can be activated anywhere, so long as it can see the lines. The NTSB seems to think that limiting it to some subset of streets will fix something[1]. The second is that Tesla's driver monitoring is insufficient and Tesla has not promised to do what some other manufacturer's have promised (but not necessarily implemented).

Notably, neither of these relate to the accident in question. The driver in this scenario was warned repeatedly that his attention was required. Regardless of the overall effectiveness of Tesla's solution, it is clear that Tesla's current solution was detecting inattention of this driver. Driver attention cameras would have behaved similarly.

Notably absent are clear and convincing evidence that one system is more or less safe than another, despite systems of various designs being in current deployment on our public streets[2].

[1] TBH, I partially feel like this complaint is also a result of the marketing that you are complaining about. Its almost as if the regulators themselves have been fooled into believing that there are places where less attention is require than others and this geofencing will solve something. In reality, attention is required in all places, even with this requirement, making this almost completely redundant.

[2] Please don't read this as a defense of autopilot. It isn't. It may very well be less safe than SuperCruise and other systems, I simply do not see the evidence proving either side right now. Considering the widespread deployments, I think a regulatory change in course should by its nature be evidence based rather than based on conjecture.
I'm not a historian, but you're missing the big picture. The CCP has been extremely secretive with it's handling of the virus, including employing the usual means of thought control by forcing whistleblowers to deliver public statements of apology and disappearing others.

If the rumors regarding dissent are remotely true, anti government sentiment over how the virus was handled is unprecedented. There are hundreds of leaked videos online of Chinese citizens publicly expressing discontent. In 2020 it isn't just the party members that have internet access now - this virus is likely acting as a trigger for the possible end of the CCP, or at least some sort of reformation.

Further, the world was not nearly as interconnected and interdependent in the 1910s. And urban density was far lower as well. What's happening in China alone is already disrupting global supply chains, and the virus has already spread to other third world manufacturing economies like Vietnam, which shut down all schools. In many ways this is a perfect storm.
Less charitably, it sounds like gatekeeping.
Private companies can do what they want

Not in the US. There are regulations on what you can do. A restaurant cannot refuse to serve a person of color because of their race, for example.

This is not an accurate statement, for the commonly accepted definition of "snake oil".

Your privacy concerns are, from an angle, legitimate (although encrypted protocols, as a general rule, are more private than plaintext protocols), but this is a bit over the top.

TFA also mentions that they are partnering with NextDNS, so your claims about centralization are on shaky ground, too. I personally use NextDNS on my whole LAN. They're great!

There's quite an interesting array of anecdotes here. Mine is a bit different: I was always a night owl, staying up late and sleeping late into the day if left to my own devices.

In the past couple years that has been completely stood on its head. Now, I regularly collapse into bed around 10 in the evening, and wake up – very reliably – between 5:30 and 6:30 in the morning. I haven't set an alarm in the past two years, except once in a while when I have to get up early for something important. And even then, more often than not, I wake up before the alarm goes off.

I am not sure what triggered this change. Perhaps it's age related (I am 66 years old). But really, I have no idea. The change is easy to live with, though, so it doesn't freak me out; but it does make me wonder what happened.

India shouldn't discriminate her citizens based on religion that is understandable but to expect that she must also treat Muslim and non-Muslim citizens of Islamic countries as equally suffering refugees would be a discrimination.
This "IT Cell" is pretty active on Twitter. It is vicious and relentless.

I suspect it is present on HN platform too. I have posted two submissions (one from NYTimes and another from The Guardian) on issues that highlight the Modi government's continued descent into what writers are calling fascist policies. Both my submissions didn't survive being flagged within minutes. I am not sure if a concentrated group of users can achieve this objective on HN?
Free speech cannot exist with free speech and so a line is drawn. That line is that a person can say whatever they want but they cannot force people to listen. Forcing people to listen to free speech violates free speech. You don't deserve a platform for free speech.
The Ticking Coronavirus Time Bomb: America’s Uninsured
Maybe you're new to the tech/security space, but the majority of companies operate at a loss as they grow and pivot their business. If you follow Cloudflare they've only recently begun to start to sell into the enterprise space with new products as in the SASE space and beyond their traditional DDoS/WAF/encryption plays. Even with those "legacy" products - Cloudflare never heavily sold into large enterprise compared to more notable names in the hardware security space that they now are beginning to compete with. Their business is evolving to include field sales that are aligned to selling in this manner, which is relatively new for Cloudflare (comparatively).

But just stating that Cloudflare is operating in the red currently isn't a justification for anything as it doesn't mean anything positive or negative without understanding their operational business model and targets.

I'm guessing your statement is making a leap by assuming that because Cloudflare is operating at a loss currently that they're going to sell your data against what they publicly state in their privacy policy? For a growth company - that would be one of the dumbest things for them to do. Because if they are caught in that lie they will sink themselves.
Ask HN: How do you celebrate wins with virtual teams/members?
We have many remote teams & everyone works great in collaboration. One thing missing from our company culture is that we have not figured out how to celebrate small/big wins with remote folks. Does anyone have any ideas ? Something like having a video call with everyone and playing a game or enjoying tea/coffee/beer and talk non work related topics ?
This is actually a phenomenon that is well studied (as it happens, by NTSB). Automation that is 99% reliable - kills! Less is unrelible enough that you notice and watch it carefully, more is reliable enough to actually rely on. It is like the uncanny valley of automation.
Reverse-racism might not be real from a power-dynamic perspective. But prejudice is prejudice and it's unbecoming of the pink brain that thinks it. Regardless of the shell it's encased in. I hope you change your mental framework for viewing other people.

And just because it's "what every prisoner goes through" doesn't make it acceptable in every context. The way we treat prisoners (at least in the US) is abhorrent.
I hope the people that built autopilot defeat devices do not figure this out. :(

Datacenters have controlled physical access. I think IOMMU is far more important for anything with exposed thunderbolt ports (including the upcoming USB4). So Laptops, smartphones, workstations can still benefit from it even if it's currently not viable for cloud server-class workloads.
The advanced once are phenomenal but when I need something very simple Preview or Markup doesn't cut it and the advanced ones are overkill.

For example, I want to create a very basic image where I would use other images and screenshots and I would cover something to hide, resize some of the images I use and put a few words of text to indicate something.

This is so very easy in MS Paint. The app will open in 0.1s, you will configure the size of your canvas by dragging the dot in the corner, copy-paste your images and drag and resize them by moving the dots then you can select and delete the parts you don't want and when you are happy with your arrangements you will use the rectangle drawing tool to cover some places and the text to mark the places you want to mark. Everything is fast, you don't have to think about layers, masks, vectors or anything like that and the app is very responsive.

Preview has some tools but they are cumbersome to use and there's no way to bring in other images.
As a spiritualist I personally have no doubts about the existence of spirits. That said, I have my doubts about they being captured on film. Most of these ghosts photos are fake. It's interesting to think that this "behind the scenes" world exists, but if you're not open to it, it is closed to you. I wonder what makes some people inclined to it and others not;

I worked in the math lab of my community college while in high school tutoring returning education students. 16 year old me teaching algebra and calculus to 55+ folks. They were some of the most engaged people I have ever taught and they were so happy, like tears of joy happy to finally get material that plagued them for most of their lives.

Anyway, my recommendation is to check out "the vibe" of the mathlab or whoever are the folks doing the tutoring. If they engaged and love answering the same questions all day long, then definitely sign up. If the tutors are like watch this video and do this quiz, if you have a problem sign up on the sheet kinda attitude, then find another place.
They're gonna have to simply out-grow the alphabet then. Which, incidentally, is their main game anyhow. :)
I read an article (>10 years ago so sadly I don't recall the title) about how computer science people see data differently from law people. Computers know nothing about the intent of data, it is only bits. The law (nominally) tries to figure out intent behind the data. It is possible to encode any data so it looks like a random stream of numbers; the law doesn't care what you did to the data, just if you intend to use that data to do something illegal. The user's intent colors the data.
They all can; that’s built in to HTTPS. Whether they will, we’ll have to wait and see.
>Automation that is 99% reliable kills!

It also saves more lives than it kills people. So?
TipTop is a bad actor / goes against the ethos of many others in the eurorack space IMO. I have their mantis case, was my first eurorack case, and while it's good I do dislike that i use theirs.

the modularity and interoperability (and the implied open source culture) of eurorack philosophy should extend to the companies that make these products. so often they dont. makes me think of unix philosophy and how tech companies dont follow that philosophy either.

YMMV with amphetamines -- they seem very specific-body-metabolism specific, but you'll always be fighting your body's attempt to move to homeostasis which means it will be very probable that you'll run into tolerance, diminishing returns, side effects, and so on.

As far as sleep deprivation goes: it's fascinating what happens to our brains at night. Studies show that REM sleep prunes and maintains new synapses associated with development and learning[0], but other studies show that this effect might be amplified with sleep deprivation[1]. If intermittent fasting can cause one's body to behave differently in a fasted state, perhaps intermittent sleep deprivation could cause effects that in moderation are not wholly negative? I really don't know, but anecdotally, I've noticed myself able to sometimes get some huge breakthroughs in the late night hours. This has been happening less frequently as I age and become more proficient at a lot of things I do, though.
Tesla has a camera that they could use for this. They claim that its performance was not great. I hope that some comparisons are made between vehicles so equipped vs the ones that are not, in order to provide further evidence.

Although that is difficult, as in many cases the "cooperative" manufacturers have not yet implemented such features. They have only promised to implement them, sometimes in vehicles years away from production.

I am an early-morning person and I am not feeling condescending towards you right now. Just slightly put off that you decided that all early-morning people have something against you.
I'm sure their motivations are primarily profit, but if appeasing Indians appalled by the idea of criticism of their government was their sole concern, they didn't have to put it on YouTube...
Multiple downvotes because I pointed out that the whole promise of DoH is that it stops ISP's from being able to see and sell which websites you're visiting, but ISP's will still be able to see and sell which websites you're visiting, unless we stick most websites behind shared IPs.

I guess that's step 2 in "advancing" the web.
Have you tried Time Restricted Eating(TRE) and limiting food intake to daylight hours? Did you notice any changes from that?

As someone who was fortunate to fix a self-created sleeping disorder where I managed to completely f up my circadian rhythms, I wish I had known about TRE years ago. As far as I know it's not (yet) part of the usual list of sleep hygiene/CBT advice, but for me at least it's been the most comprehensive change I've made to my lifestyle that has benefited my rhythms and sleep quality.
> Why? because there is a strongly negative view society has on me for waking up at nearly 9am every day

I laughed OUT LOUD at this!! I wake up at 11am/12pm every day, and yes there is a strongly negative view society has on it. I've been trying to wake up at 8am for almost 10 years now, instead my bed time has slowly moved from 2am, to 3am to almost 5am now.

however, I get so much done working straight from about 12pm to 8pm that its totally worth it to put up with the snide remarks about my schedule
The Magic Behind JavaScript Syntax Shortcuts
No, I have not. It looks promising but I suspect that there are some poor defaults in the tools leading to bad results aesthetically. Looked at some usage videos and there were some very ugly rectangle corners.

See, for the tools in MS Paint are very basic and have very nice defaults so it usually yields non-disturbing results. Good defaults are important.
Censorship is censorship, whether it's voluntary and on your own servers or at the behest of the government. Blocking adults from communicating to other adults because you don't like it is not a nice thing to do.
It seems like there should already be an industry term for this, it's like the autonomous systems version of the "uncanny valley" [0].

For a long time I've been able to cancel my hiccups just as they begin. I can't do it all the time, maybe about 90% of the time. I wonder how common this ability is.
Seems like an unpopular opinion, but this is my experience as well. Went from sleeping from 4-10AM to 11PM-5AM over the course of 3 years, without changing time zones. I swore I was a night-owl my whole life, but I definitely fall into the category of early-risers now. Overall happy with the switch; I love having those quiet morning hours to prepare for the rest of my day.

For me, it was about establishing new habits, setting up an environment conducive to sleeping by midnight, and having some external pressures like a work schedule, etc. I've heard this validated by external testimony as well.

Can't say there are no biological factors at play that impact individual inclinations, but it's a bit hard to believe that we're hard-wired for one over the other.
