The Windows 10X preview actually does this by running Win32 apps inside their own container, with their own registry, kernel, drivers, and isolated from the rest of the rest of the system.
A saying I have related to this is "Rules make sports." The skills and strategies that matter in a sport develop around the rules. Change the rules and you change the sport.

The judo example the author presented is actually one of my go-to examples as well. Not only did disallowing grabbing the legs take out an entire suite of offensive options, it took out defensive options in judo. In judo, the main way to win is to throw your opponent such that they land on their back. Before, a judo player could grab their opponents legs as a way to counter a throw. Now grabbing the legs is a penalty. But allowing yourself to be thrown is going to at least result in your opponent getting a point, and has potential for you to lose the match. So the solution is, in some situations, judo players will just intentionally face-plant onto the mat to avoid the throw. It looks silly, no one would do it in a self-defense situation, but rules make sports.

Note that just about all combat and grappling sports have this quirk: because they have rules, and are not just a free-form fight, you're going to encounter situations where the optimal thing to do in the sport would be terrible to do in a real fight.

They should try Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk:

http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img/index.htm

This is used by bitsavers to preserve old data from 8 inch floppy disks. I was able to write an emulator for a Motorola 6800 "Exorciser" that could boot disks saved this way.
I used to play chess in college with a master (now grandmaster) player. He would always let me take back moves when I did something stupid (sometimes even a couple). As he put it it was no fun to win on someones goof, what was fun was winning when they were playing the best possible game they could.
I'm assuming you're referring to the US, in which case it's worth bearing in mind that your nation's violence rates are often well outside the norm amongst developed nations. I can assure you the only relationship I (or friends & family) have ever had with murder is via TV. I did have a friend who had been raped during a home invasion, but that was during a visit to the US.

If I had to install special security equipment and arm myself with a machine for making holes in other people to 'feel safe', I'd rather move somewhere with a more peaceful culture if I had the option.
I was on a course from something like the Wilderness Education Association- basically training to be a "wilderness leader" (but the instructors were pretty clueless). Some things I learned:
While in most places if it rains you will dry out after a few days, but it's so humid in alaska the only way to dry clothes is to wear them at night in a wet sleeping bag (it dries by morning). Glacier runoff rivers are no joke, we almost lost an instructor and a student while crossing. If you don't manage your food properly, you will end up subsisting on things like cake mix(!) for the last few days. When supplies get low, people act different (greedy).

There's a saying: "civilization is only three meals away from anarchy", that only made sense to me after day 28.
Exactly my thoughts when I first read of WASI: conceptually you could now have a WASI runtime ("OS") and an HTML.wasm potentially independently developed and swappable.
And since WASI is a lot smaller surface, it is easier to audit, test, reimplement, etc.

Uh, your definition literally says "by unexpressed agreement"?

So, agreement not by words, but by implied means (action or inaction) seems a fitting usage of the word tacit.

Similarly, from the definition of tacit from which tacitly is derived,
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/tacit

1. Not spoken: indicated tacit approval by smiling and winking.

2. Implied by or inferred from actions or statements: Management has given its tacit approval to the plan.

3. Archaic Not speaking; silent.

EDIT: formatting
I think this is spot on. Depending on what you're doing, a matrix can be:

- A linear transformation
- A basis set of column vectors
- A set of equations (rows) to be solved
- (your example: parity equations for coding theory)
- The covariance of elements in a vector space
- The Hessian of a function for numerical optimization
- The adjacency representation of a graph
- Just a 2D image (compression algorithms)
... (I'm sure there are plenty of others)

For some of these, the matrix is really just a high dimensional number. You (rarely?) never think of covariance in a Kalman filter as a linear transform, but you still need to take its Eigen vectors if you want to draw ellipses.
> For there to be infringement, someone needs to prove that copying took place.

The argument isn't going to help. If you are creating every permutation in the purpose of publishing, you are inherently aware that you are intentionally copying published works (and are familiar with the concepts), even without specifically choosing to reproduce in each individual permutation.
ACC is nice in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It does not have stop and go so you get a few second warning that it will stop when you come to a complete stop. It’s easy to press resume after you move again.

When I read the manual it specifically called out several situations where ACC could cause a problem. Completely stationary objects and using it around a sharp corner can cause it to lose sight of the car in front of you.

As you said people have found stupid ways of dying and not paying attention while driving is one of them. I keep an eye on ACC and will keep my foot above the break if my intuition tells me to.
> it could be done by someone who took a three-week mail-in training course.

Sounds like you have healthy teeth, but your comment is fairly ignorant of the fact that nearly everything you described isn't done by someone with a graduate medical degree, but generally is done by a dental assistant/hygienist . I wouldn't want someone to touch my teeth if they haven't practiced using the instruments in a classroom. This isn't a programming course..

> Dental assistants receive their formal education through academic programs at community colleges, vocational schools, technical institutes, universities or dental schools. Graduates of these programs usually receive certificates. Although the majority of academic dental assisting programs take nine to eleven months to complete, some schools offer accelerated training, part-time education programs or training via distance education.

It's not contradictory. I'm saying that the things he says are true, and there are many languages that follow that line of thought.

Yes, faster than C++. Better abstractions can, sometimes, give the compiler more flexibility to optimize.
The difference is the industry, and that counts.

Wework was silly because real estate is not software. The profits needed to eventually justify all that "burn-to-grow" money was never possible regardless of scale.

It's not an AdWords Vs Yahoo ads situation. The market leader isn't taking all the profits.

Banking isn't software either, but banking is banking... It's where the money is, lol.

Seriously, financial services is rich, rich pickings... Insurance, lending, business accounts, transfers....

A bank with low operating costs and millions of employees is worth a lot.

If it was a truly American company, I suspect the market cap would be way higher... UK investors are more cautious, and the company is a little dicey

One of the benefits of long experience is often being able to see forward quite a distance. If you can see that the project you're working on will fail with high probability, you can avoid a lot of useless work/angst. And perhaps even enjoy the wreck.
This means that the threads can't be blocked forever. The way Go scheduler work is to check during function calls if the current goroutine has executed for some period of time, after that the scheduler will remove the goroutine from the thread and open space for other goroutines to execute.
But if you're doing a loop without function calls, imagine a for {}, in this case, the thread will be locked forever.
Now with 1.14, this don't happen anymore. In my opinion the expected result will be better tail latencies.
Don't worry, it was blindingly obvious it was sarcasm to anyone with half a functioning brain.
> I trust Cloudflare and __Google__ (the other major DoH proponent) not to sell my data, because they have no need to do so.

Isn't Google's entire business model... data collection? Maybe Google won't sell the data, but they'll use it and sell the information they gather with it (i.e. ad targeting). I'm not sure this is meaningfully better than selling data (though there are definitely arguments to be made there).

AFAIK CF isn't in the business of ads and really data collection is just a waste of their disk space.

Next iteration looks like this. Note that I added another test when I made the update to the function.

if(typeof value == "function" && reduceFunc == undefined) {
reduceFunc = value;
value = arr.pop();
}

for(var i=arr.length; i--; i<-1) {
value = reduceFunc(value, arr[i]);
}

return value;
}

assert( reduceRight([1,2,3], (a,b)=>a+b) , 6);
assert( reduceRight([1,2,3], 1, (a,b)=>a+b) , 7);
assert( reduceRight([1,2,3], (a,b)=>a-b) , 0);
This is great. Walmart has a reputation to protect so at the very least I can trust what they say.

I've had a hard time getting a dentist I can trust. The business reminds me of car mechanics that are always looking to sell you additional services. And as a layperson, it's hard to know when you are being sold services you don't need. They love people with insurance since they can get them to buy without much pushing.
Sometimes skunks become important to kids because they are inside video games.

Take a look at Gogle trends for "red dead skunk". A lot of kids were using Google to figure out where to find a skunk in the game Red Dead Redemption in June 2010.

Edit: And of course there was another spike in kid's interest in skunks in December 2018 when RDR2 came out. Check Google trends for "rdr2 skunk".

>When I first started dating my now wife I slept better than I've ever slept before. ... Since then with buying a house, moving, job changes, owning cats, and a litany of other stressors, my sleep quality has substantially diminished.

How could owning cats hurt your sleep quality? I have 3 of them and they're fine; they never bother me at night.

Buying a house, however, is really horrible for your stress level. Now that I'm no longer married and no longer own a house, I do find that I have far, far less stress in my life than back then. Being single, too, has been great for reducing stress. (The takeaway here is: don't marry the wrong person.)
It does. You can do render functions similar to React (and optionally use JSX if you want to). It's not very common though except for library authors (especially if you need to do some clever stuff, regular vue templates can't handle all the corner cases that a raw render function can).

That certainly flies in the face of most recent recommendation. Recent NIST guidelines say not to do this, and NIST isn't really known for being adventureous.

The current best practice is for people to use passphrases rather than complicated passwords. For this, a password length limit of 24 is simply not enough.
Using the camera for that purpose might be a bit problematic (in terms of a technical challenge, not as that adjective would normally be used by twitter mobs).

> There is still competition, though, and we don't see price gouging in food, for example, just because people have to buy it.

There's not a law that requires me to buy food, nor a law that requires me to buy specific types of food. I can grow my own food, or buy from other people locally if I wanted to.

> If insurance is so overpriced, then why don't other companies enter the market?

It takes extremely deep pockets to be able to sell insurance in the first place, and it's a relatively regulated industry.

Anyone can grow some tomatoes and sell them to me at a farmers market with minimal overhead. Few can sell me comprehensive insurance that will pay out when I need it.

Do you have a suggestion as to what to do about all the misinformation and hate out there? Clearly ignoring it or "drowning it out with correct information" is not working. I'm uncomfortable with censorship in any form, but am also not comfortable forcing companies to give a platform to sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/etc. drivel.

Definitely acknowledge and agree that this deplatforming-by-companies mindset is backfiring in this particular case.

Yeah, the naming's not great. And the marketing that gives the false impression that it's better than it is. And their claims that the only thing stopping the cars from being self driving is regulation (implying that they are good enough). And the ceo going on tv showing it with his hands off the wheel and then claiming that users should know better than to take their hands off the wheel and that his company is very clear on that point.
There's this coming soon with what seems to be pretty good material from people with solid background in the space of sleep: https://bestsleepsummit.com/
> Most people don't and trust Autopilot way too much because it's touted as self driving which implies a level of autonomy that the Tesla system

Everything about this line is unsupported supposition.
When autopilot fails, the PIC has minutes to take controls and avert whatever bad thing might happen. When Tesla 'autopilot' fails the driver might have less than a second to take controls and avoid collision.

This fundamental mis-branding is why various regulators across the globe are cracking down on Tesla marketing.
It's more complicated than that. Largely, it just seems that way because most people never bother to understand the rules past a cursory Google whereas big companies have teams of very experienced regulatory professionals from the agencies themselves who are all about it and therefore know every way to tweak inputs so that they trigger certain regulations rather than others. I was working on a regulatory compliance product for a bit and the first thing I did was pull every applicable regulation, standard, and rule governing the space and read them. This took about a month and made me much more knowledgeable than the vast majority of people in the field who didn't even try. Being an expert is about taking the time to sit down and read the RFCs, basically. We don't have many experts because no one wants to do it.
It's a bug in the client part of OpenSMTPD, so, it is still remotely exploitable in the default install, it's just that the user has to attempt sending some mail out towards the infrastructure controlled by the attacker (could be a malicious WiFi SMTP interceptor, for example).

If you do have the server mode enabled on non-localhost, then you can initiate this client mode (by means of a bounce) yourself remotely, without the need for any local user to do anything.

When Blackberry bought QNX I thought they would leverage their carrier network footprint to build a security managed turnkey/white box IoT business in controllers from white goods to plant.

Everything I have since read about the major mobile hardware/phone companies taught me to stop over estimating the ability for organisations who are monomaniacally focussed on exploiting initial (fluke by statistical measures) in SF insights implemented by early engineering focus by arguably genius minds, have no ability whatsoever to understand how anything can interoperate or even coexist, because they are hell bent on protecting the boundaries of their product features and technology surface.

Build and test Mark Jurey's penny stove design. You can do it in half an hour with household materials, and then you can fry an egg on a skillet over it. (If you have a gas stove, you can put the penny stove on the gas stove to provide the needed air space.)

Alcohol is the best liquid fuel to use. It's nontoxic, can be extinguished with water, and serves double duty as an antiseptic and a nonpolar organic solvent. If you store the alcohol bottles floating in a larger container of water, they are inherently fire-safe for storage, although I don't bother. Considerable exploration of these themes is in Dercuano.
You're thinking too small: if they nickel and dime a million people that becomes 75mm EUR. How many people are going to cause a big enough stink over 75 EUR though individually? Not really anyone, so they could get away with it - maybe if enough people posted similar stories then it would gain interest from enforcement agencies.
100% agreement on that. The number of companies that can competently make good hardware and software is vanishingly small.

But the problem is that most hardware makers either refuse to realize that they're bad at making software.
