> I think what happened was eventually the designer types got their hands in there

No, what happened is Microsoft placed a bet on us moving to a multi-platform future where there are many fewer PCs and more tablets, hybrid devices, whatever, all with the need to use touch, pen as well as keyboard for input. The existing start menu and taskbar would be hideous on mobile devices.

The problem is they were wrong. But I'm not going to blame "designer types". If you ever used Metro UI on a Windows Phone device you'd see that it was a truly remarkable system... that was bent to fit a task it didn't fit.
27 hours checking in here. Melatonin can help but generally I tend to go in stages of not getting enough sleep, some forms of biphasic/polyphasic sleeping, and basically going to bed early when not getting enough sleep to buy me a few normal days.
FB is just a mirror and amplificator of society including its bad parts, the outcome depends on each individuals education, self awareness and environment.

I try to avoid it because I know how shitty people can be, and because I know myself, not because people exploited it as a tool.

China is outcome focused and tries to surpress the bad sides of humanity with force, neglecting humanity by not accepting its bad parts. As shitty as FB may seem, it's not really comparable. From a humanist point of view, one model is clearly wrong, malicious or not.
FastMRI leverages adversarial training to remove image artifacts
I love explainers like this, but it frankly makes me a little angry that the vast majority of the math teachers I had in highschool and college taught in the awful way described in the setup to the piece.

Why is that? Has anyone studied it, or is there even a solid anecdotal explanation? The best one I can imagine is many of these professors simply don't care much for teaching and are more focused on their research, which is still infuriating but at least an explanation.

I ended up with an undergrad in applied math, though I'm a software engineer now. I like math, but I feel like I never got to be all that great at it. I suspect I would've enjoyed it more and achieved more with explanations like these.
No, I would stay up for 2-3 days straight and it'd end with just a longish ~12 hour sleep, often leaving me with a sleep cycle randomly out of phase with the rest of the world to boot.

The stuff I've read about sleep being when your brain bathes itself in spinal fluid convinced me this was probably not a good long-term strategy for preserving cognitive health.
1) It's served over https.

2) All the files in the local file system are completely the property of the user. The js makes no attempt to do any snooping or uploading. You can verify that by looking at the network activity.
The code is just binary code, which can only be run.

The Actor implementation of a Controller just runs the code and so the controller does not have to itself perform a become.

The variables currentVersion and the crowd running hold the state of the changing behavior of the controller.

A tricky part for Erlang is that the variable running must updated even if code.run is cancelled.
Don't award committees usually contact potential awardees before announcing the award publically or even before drawing up a shortlist?

I don't know, but it would seem to be wise.
Due to the Cloud Act, this is probably the end of Mozilla as a browser used in a business setting for non-US companies.

A naïve protocol capsuled inside a stupid and dangerous protocol.
I'm getting pretty pissed off the with the arrogance of US internet tech companies sidestepping formal protocol design & industry adoption because it isn't moving "fast enough" for them. Without ESNI, DoH is essentially meaningless for the class of privacy invaders it is supposed to combat against. By the time ESNI is out, DoT would have had enough time to mature and gain wide enough adoption.

DoT is better because at least it's obvious if your ISP/Gov is blocking port 853 (at which point you install a VPN or run your own resolver somewhere and tunnel to it or swap provider or move country). Meanwhile you get all the usual benefits of decentralised DNS resolution and don't have to worry about the unforeseen overhead and bullshit DoH is going to spwan.

Firefox is an app for browsing websites. What business does it have pushing a half baked compromise solution that undermines core infrastructure, creates a false sense of privacy and introduces second order effects that will result in DNS lookups being centralised in to the hands of a few giant US corporations (at least changing to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 was opt-in).

Also can't wait for the inevitable instances of Cloudflare deciding not to resolve certain domains (effectively becoming the de-facto arbitrator of what most FF users can and cannot see on-line). For a preview of that, try going to archive.is with 1.1.1.1 as your resolver.

Ultimately, all of this is moot anyway (even once ESNI arrives). Regardless of DNS, your device still needs to connect to an IP. Entities interested in where you are going will still be able to get reasonable insight by simply correlating IP addresses and CT logs (http://blog.seanmcelroy.com/2019/01/05/ocsp-web-activity-is-...). The only decent solution to this, and available right now, is a VPN (at which point DNS privacy is automatically solved for you).

If Paul Vixie thinks DoH is a bad idea then... it's a bad fucking idea: https://twitter.com/paulvixie/status/1053765281917661184

> things are easy to notice with some saved twitter searches and a google alert?

They are not doing this through twitter searches or google alerts. They show up when there is absolutely no mention of it anywhere, even sometimes when the attack is largely ineffective. Expectations like yours-- that they could only discover them from public sources-- probably contributes to people believing the attacks originate from cloudflare.

They use sampled netflow data from ISP to detect large scale DDOS attacks (presumably buying the information from arbor networks or similar, where they don't have their own coverage).
Not sure about that; it will still send query to the open Internet first and only when it fails, it will query local resolver.

You have leaking internal hostnames there.

To be fair, it is difficult to make all parties satisfied there. I think that a bit more honesty during discussion would help.
If a hosting server is compromised the hash and download can be changed with something nefarious. crypto signing/verification will catch that case. hash checking will not.

This is a legitimate case as it's happened to other projects in the past.
Why in the world would you close stores early? That just means that more people will have to shop at the same time, which would seem to increase the likelyhood of infection.

Yet tax evasion methods such as the double Irish are considered perfectly acceptable. Given many such cases like this, it feels as if the judges do not have a just standard of when they are and aren't impressed.
Perhaps. My "why are states in that business" was meant as a moral question, not a factual question.
Anyone who would not benefit from tmux must only very rarely use the terminal, or not at all.
This isn't a dig at this tool, just a strong endorsement for tmux =)
I understand how this might sound appealing to men in a sea of bots, but it sounds more likely to dissuade real women than entice them.
This has nothing to do with an API. Any kind of extension that acts automatically (i.e. doesn't exclusively spring to life when clicking on an extension-specific button) will have to inspect the currently open tabs, page contents or network requests to decide whether it has to do its thing, which means it has access to this kind of information anyway and could exfiltrate it through standard web APIs (fetch/XHR).

This is not on mozilla, their current extension API surface already is much more limited than the old one (killing off some preexisting usecases in the process) and still has many ways to get this information.

It's kind of asking that git shouldn't have filesystem or network access.

Ok, I agree, cheating is lame. But a game in which a someone won by cheating is still competitive, while a game that is lost intentionally is just corruption to take money from fans.

I guess I don't see the big deal about sign stealing. I mean, in some sports, maybe stock car racing or something like that, this kind of thing would be totally encouraged. Squeaky clean compared to doping and what not.
> The smoker is quite capable of making his own choices. I smoke a cigar from time and time but I don't chain smoke cigarettes.

The fact that smokers are capable of making their own choices is irrelevant. I also smoke cigars, and if I decide to sell cigarettes or cigars, I am tacitly approving of some portion of my customers getting lung cancer, throat cancer, whatever.

That's literally what the word "tacit" means: Implied by or inferred from actions or statements.

I sell cigarettes, you can infer quite reasonably that I approve of a world in which some of the people ho give me money wind up with cancer.

Period, full stop. Why are we working so hard to give people wiggle room on this?

When it comes to firearm sales, pro-gun people will tell us that it's a shame about all those dead kids, but the greater good is served by having the freedom to own firearms with few restrictions or impediments.

Those people have no problem understanding that we make choices, and some of those choices lead to unpleasant outcomes, but we tacitly approve of those unpleasant outcomes as part of approving of some other outcome we value more.

That's simple responsibility.
It is not illegal at all.

At all.

Firstly lets establish the rules using the ICO's (the UK's Data Authority) handy FAQ [1], a site providing a copy of the GDPR [2], the EU Commissions adequacy decisions page [3], the EU's privacy shield page [4], and the dedicated site for the privacy shield's Google LLC page [5]:

In short (yes, this is my idea of short):

* We, the UK, are currently in the transition period where EU rules still apply [1 - "What happens now that the UK has a withdrawal agreement?"]. This lasts until Jan 1st 2021 [6]

* We, the UK, are currently on track to have pretty much the same rules (cynicism allowed) [1 - "Will the GDPR still apply when we leave the EU"]

* So Brexit shouldn't change the legality (more cynicism allowed)

So are Google breaking the law?

* The GDPR has a provision allowing third countries and international organisations to process data presuming. It is Article 45 [2]

* The USA has been approved for this [3]. Years ago [4].

* Google LLC is approved under Privacy Shield [5]

So, there is no indication of anything illegal going on. Yes they are segmenting the data incorrectly and messaging an italian as though they are a brit. However the change would be perfectly legal was it to be done to the whole of the EU.

I don't like it, but it is legal.

Mutable Instruments stuff has been open source long before her coming out as trans. I think they might actually have been open source from the beginning, or thereabouts? (The company originally started by selling DIY kits, IIRC.) Usually (at least with recent modules) she waits to release it openly until after the first production batch of modules has sold.
> There's no avoiding that...

Of course it's avoidable. But no-one cares enough: As long as it is hard enough to escape then the public does not care too much whether inmates use drugs, rape/fight each other, or what not, especially if stopping that would mean spending more on prisons.

The fallacy (or hypocrisy) is to pass off lack of will as practical impossibility.

The UK and the US are among the richest countries on Earth and they are democracies. There is no escaping that the state of their prisons represents the collective decision of society (us all).
Don't take it in some wrong way, but most programmers have no idea about networking; for them, IP addresses are just some numbers.

Now we only need option to install windows WITHOUT ANY APP PINNED IN THE START MENU - and while we are at it, option to not actually install anything but kernel + most basic stuff that can't be removed - explorer, shell & friends - no candy crash, maps, movie maker and other useless garbage that one could install via Store anytime anyway

The first thing I do is to remove them all with powershell script.
It's not "a couple stores". On a shutdown of sufficient enough scale, you're going to kill more people by lack of income / products, than by letting the virus run its course.
Can you explain more by what you mean about the Venmo stuff, its sounds super interesting.

Are you saying that someone out there is doing crowd sourced intelligence for increased win modeling, based on the messages people put in their venmo transactions?

Or that the default public nature of the ledger is such that people can see that the bookie (I think im using that right) is getting money from other counter parties and proves their ability to pay out in the future?
Quite a few, I guess, but you'd probably be more concerned about how many other domains share the same IP addresses rather than about how many IP addresses this domain resolves to. And the answer seems to be thousands of domains — which in this case doesn't help much as they seem to all be related, but which in other cases might (eg. shared hosting, CDNs…).

> Maybe a nitpick but i doubt dhcp is going to hive you a local dns server

0_o Weird doubt,-- thats why DHCP can give you a DNS server. Otherwise, DNS discovery might as well work by just defining some /32s that always get routed to a nearby DNS server. :)

My DHCP servers at home give me a local DNS server... any corporate network that also has internal private naming will necessarily be handing out a resolver internal to that network.
Sure, you can change timezone, but you usually feel like shit in the process. The idea seem to be that it takes about a day per hour to adjust.

Now the idea (somewhat supported by the article) is that night owls have a natural cycle longer than 24h. It means they are in a constant state of jet lag. The (unrealistic) solution to get in sync with the rest of the population would be to always go west.

Early birds are in the opposite situation. They have a natural cycle shorter than 24h. It is just that for some reason, waking up and going to bed early is not seen as a problem in our society, while the other way is.

I think there was a text input element that you actually typed into, which showed the cursor and handled IME. After composing a character, that character would be rendered into a div and the input element moved to the next position. I've also written versions with a blinking div, or a canvas element, but I think the input element is the better approach to leverage browser IME.
No, but I will inquire about it, thanks for the tip.

In order for Cloudflare (or anyone) to be a part of this program they have to comply with a particular set of rules.

Limiting data. Your DNS data can reveal a lot of sensitive information about you, and currently DNS providers aren’t subject to any limits on what they can do with that data; we want to change that. Our policy requires that your data will only be used for the purpose of operating the service, must not be retained for longer than 24 hours, and cannot be sold, shared, or licensed to other parties.

Yes, governments can secret around this with intelligence orders, just like they can do with any of the ISPs that will keep all of the data indefinitely instead of for 24 hours.
Just ridiculous. Choice of instrument/rig and articulation alone are enough. If I annihilate "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on guitar like Hendrix did to the Star Spangled Banner, I did that and I deserve to be paid if you enjoyed my playing.

We might have to add some magic hooks into currently-internal parts of the browser, so the fidelity may not be 100% if contenteditable is shipped as part of content. It'd be an interesting experiment and might help to highlight gaps in the Web platform.

Why Python uses 0-based indexing
Really cool to see the Gitlab team focusing on performance. I just wish they'd look at front-end performance as well as API response times. Something like WebPageTest or SpeedCurve will measure metrics that better represent the user experience, like when important parts of the page are rendered or become interactive. Maybe with visibility into these metrics, the engineering teams could make Gitlab less painful to use on my old laptop :)
My bad, thanks for the correction. Early onset of Alzheimer's or too little sleep. Hoping for the latter.
No. No matter how much you dress it with words, technology is not magic. Monads are not magic. Haskell is not magic.

If your data and/or problem is modeled as "if 0 then N/A" no amount of "human nature implicitly explicitly transformed" will help you.

Dealing with non-existent data as opposed to "value = 0" is just as natural in Java, C++ or Javascript as it is in Haskell. And yet, that didn't help.
That may be what GP means. I am only concerned for this because of the measures taken, especially in China.
They are often explicit, but they are widely used and often generated behind the scenes by macros or declarations.
Facetious? 80% of China's GDP has been shut down for a month[1]. U.S. markets dropped another 3 percent today. The CDC tweeted today that people from "all sectors as well as people within their families" should prepare.

Get your head out of the sand. The sooner people take this for the threat that it is and start stockpiling basic supplies, the less likely it will be that everyone runs to the store simultaneously.

Just because they are pushing OneDrive.

* You're receiving the email because you've had enough activity in UK to warrant a notification.

* Read literally, the email only talks about the UK, not Italy.

* If you go to the UK again, then your activity in the UK will be on a nom-GDPR handler.

There is nothing illegal here, and just because you're sitting in Italy at this moment doesn't mean Google is moving Italian activity handlers. The email is a notification about Uk only.
In simplest terms, tools that allow you to be remote (aka stay home) and still be mostly effective are immensely valuable.
Yeah this isn't illegal at all, in my other comment I expanded on it a lot more [1], but in essence the EU-US privacy shield is a thing, Google LLC is in it, and Brexit isn't really relevant.

The algorithm has almost certainly has done so many times. But it just writes numbers (in the form of MIDI sequences) to a file. Numbers aren't copyrightable.

This article is making claims about several polls that Americans supposedly want a bunch of things that very progressive Democrats (not just regular Democrats) want. It sounds to me like their polling methodology is severely flawed, because their poll results are completely different from our election results.
