> It's a big ask for us to support _two_ methods of firmware-update (local and over-the-network) with different keys/security requirements for each. We just plain don't have the manpower to support that, not when we can be developing features to improve our product instead.

But you don't have to do two different systems. You can use the exact same update mechanism, just with the cryptographic validation controlled by the owner of the hardware.

Look at how Secure Boot is implemented on most x86 platforms. Default installed keys from the OEM, can not be changed from the OS, but can be disabled or replaced by the end user.

Chromebooks offer another example of how to do it well with their "Developer Mode" switches. With the switch (which is not accessible on an operating system) in the default position it will only boot Google signed images. With the switch in developer mode it notifies the user of this on every boot, but no longer verifies signatures. The device is factory reset when switching modes to ensure that the unsigned mode can not be used to compromise a stolen device.

Android phones with unlockable bootloaders work similarly, they just have a software toggle in the first-stage bootloader rather than a physical switch.

---

There are plenty of low-effort ways to provide cryptographic verifiability to end users while still following not just the letter but the spirit of the GPL.

Obviously most of us would prefer something like the first example where a user could replace the stock keys with their own and sign their own code to maintain full security when going off on their own, the second and third options are nearly trivial to implement. One switch or jumper, a single input pin, and however much code it takes to check the state of that pin when performing any boot validation.
What type of visual features are you looking at? I've been trying to find a web-clipper that uses both visual and structural cues from the rendered page and HTML, but have no luck finding a good starting point.
>someone can ship you something when it's time.

The issue with 'prepping' as a lifestyle, the lifestyle you are wanting to sell with this idea, is that it's about prepping for the unknown. You're preparing for the worst disaster before it happens.

In that case, the idea of course is that regular routes to receive goods, like shipping, are off-line.

Yes, I'd say so. These services, in addition to the local (print!) paper, were how you found out when and where movies were playing.
A "driver's license for the web" is an interesting thought, but I certainly wouldn't model it off of our actual driver's licenses; as they appear to me to be more a form of identification than licensure in that pretty much anyone can get one with no training or display of skill.

I love the internet, but I agree that it has created many realities; sustaining those that would have traditionally burned out in the head of the thinker due to repeated exposure to other people's subjective realities and a lack of confirmation for their own.
Cancelling dividends and doing buybacks is different than cancelling dividends though. GE is a blue chip stock so the market will definitely notice.
Kudos to Google for taking this responsible step. There's no way to categorize these sorts of conferences as anything other than "extremely non-essential, optional gathering." Postponing such gatherings is an obvious first step in reducing the spread of an epidemic that we cannot prevent, but can mitigate.
No, the correct thing to do is to publish multiple columns showing performance under the different compilers. Large co do use the specific compiler that will give them better performance. I know many big software compiled with ICC. Then, there is the lack of tlak about MSVC. That's one standard compiler used extensively.

In benchmarking you have two choices: publish the real numbers or not. Which option you choose marks you as honest or not.

You can argue about why the numbers for your product are lower in the discussion section of your report. Not in an asterisk.

Sure - but the comment you're replying to made no mention of NoSQL. It just said Clickhouse lacks OLTP by design, that doesn't mean it won't be widely used, just that it will perhaps be limited to analytics workloads.

If you need deletes and transactions, look elsewhere, but Clickhouse seems to be great for what it's been designed for.
> "anonymization" generally just involves replacing a name or credit card number with some other identifier.

DJB's description of "anonymization" while talking[1] about his job as the man in the middle at Verizon:

>> Hashing is magic crypto pixie-dust, which takes personally identifiable information and makes it incomprehensible to the marketing department. When a marketing person looks at random letters and numbers they have no idea what it means. They can't imagine that anybody could possibly understand the information, reverse the hash, correlate the hashes, track them, save them, record them.

> lots of industry standard analyses unachievable with those identifiers out of the picture.

Calling something "standard" doesn't mean it's ethical. If someone wants use that type of identifier, they need to get explicit informed consent from everyone involved, and they need to be liable for any damages that derive from their database of identified records.

How Sentry.io uses Clickhouse

https://blog.sentry.io/2019/05/16/introducing-snuba-sentrys-...
It's at the end of the 2nd paragraph.
Hello everyone.

I want to show you the tool that helps startup founders at the seed and following stages find the VCs who would invest in their startup with the highest probability.

Instead of searching for particular funds using certain criteria, we offer the opposite process: you type the information about your startup, and our algorithm will pick the ones that are most likely to invest in the startup taking into account the criteria such as MRR, cumulative revenue, HQ location, your sector (industry) etc. We have more than 30 000 funds in our database, and we analyzed more than 90 000 deals to tailor our algorithm for these needs.

Please check it out. We want to make it as good as we can. There's a ton of work to be done, but still it's important to know that we are headed in the right direction. I will appreciate any comments and feedback.

I've been learning and singing Byzantine chant for over a decade now. In fact, I ended up learning programming because I wanted to create software for Byzantine notation, which is very different from western notation. Here's an example of (modern) Byzantine notation with renditions in western notation: https://cappellaromana.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Cherub...

The top line of western notation shows a fairly straightforward version, while the bottom line shows one fully-ornamented interpretation. Note that microtones are used. As far as I can understand, ornamentation/interpretation can vary by teacher, and I once found a paper that analyzed the microtones used by various famous chanters to see the differences between them.

I never did end up creating any useful open source software for Byzantine chant. I did learn Racket, then Django, then became a programmer and now I'm a data scientist. So I partially ended up where I am because I was sick of typing out Byzantine chant using special fonts in Microsoft Word! There are now actually a lot of symbols in unicode for Byzantine music, but I don't think there's any way to handle the typesetting necessary for combining neumes in the various possible ways yet (think of how Korean works)... but I haven't looked into this for a few years.

I love this music, not only for the beauty of its sound but also the incredible richness of the hymns. There are teachers in the United States working on developing good methods for teaching all of this to people without such a cultural background, and critically, singing it in English so that the meaning can be understood by those who don't know Greek or Arabic. Chanting with my choir is one of my greatest joys in life. Glory to God for all things.

This makes no sense.

For example, aside from the lack of transactions, Clickhouse is designed for insertion. There's an INSERT statement, but no UPDATE or DELETE statements. You can rewrite tables (there's ALTER TABLE ... UPDATE and ALTER TABLE ... DELETE), but they're intended for large batch operations, and the operations potentially asynchronous, meaning that they complete right away, but you only see results later.

ClickHouse has many other limitations. For example, there's no enforcement of uniqueness: You can insert the same primary key multiple times. You can dedupe the data, but only specific table engines support this.

There's absolutely no way anyone will want to use ClickHouse as a general-purpose database.

At the same time, it's pretty clear we need to get out there (ultimately much beyond the galaxy itself) if we are to solve certain questions.

And there's a general idea that a purpose of life may be to "spread" through the universe — like, why die here on this planet instead of settling the universe... given the actual choice, there's no solution but to leave eventually, when your star dies (if only locally to "fix" it by adding more fuel in it, e.g. hydrogen).

So this, if true, is really just one more reason on top of an already high pile as I see it.
The same is true for the flu. People get it every year but they don’t go and get swabbed.

I also agree that there’s a wide range of possibility. But I’m responding to the claim there’s no data with a study from China’s CDC that most experts are citing as the best info we have right now. Is it perfect? No. But the Diamond Princess isn’t a scientific study — it’s a mess.

Edit: for a range of possible outcomes, this article is helpful:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2020/02/25/coronaviru...

At the low end are South Korea’s (mortality) numbers, at the extreme high Iran, and Italy aligning roughly with China’s study.

The tl;dr is we have a fairly wide range of possible outcomes, but Italy is lining up with China’s findings.
"Helios and Matheson went belly-up after accruing unsustainable losses from MoviePass, the now-defunct theater subscription service. Meanwhile, tucked away in the bankruptcy filing was the disclosure that the net book value of Moviefone’s intellectual property is estimated to be $4,379,504. That’s just 1.1% of AOL’s $388 million stock deal for Moviefone in 1999, right before the internet bubble burst."

Nothing beats water and detergent. That gives a physical removal of bugs from the skin. Let your hands air-dry. Do surgeons scrub before an operation, or do they just spray on some sanitizer?

Sanitizers rely on killing the bugs. They aren't perfect. I know all the ads say 99.9% and it sounds wonderful. In reality that leaves one bug in a thousand as fully active. Start with a load of 100 million bugs and you end up with 100,000 survivors, plenty enough to do you some damage.

This is kind of a joke answer but the real answer is: This depends on the compositor you're using. So Wayland may not be network transparent, but it's possible to implement equivalent functionality on another layer of the stack.
We see Retool and Flowdash as being pretty different and, in some cases, complementary. Flowdash is focused on the types of internal tools that are about managing repeatable workflows. By choosing this specific use case, we're able to focus on features that operations teams need as they scale: things like task assignment, documentation, analytics, and SLA's.
They were big brands if you went to the movie theater frequently in the 90s and early 2000s.

I have read that the amount of exposure can be quantified, and it is possible to have a heavy dose of the virus -- which makes no sense to me -- and that healthcare workers are likely to receive these heavy doses due to frequent exposure.

I always thought that once a virus was present in your system, it was there, like a boolean, not like a degree of infection. But apparently that is not true.
I'll be reading this know. Thanks for the rec!
"rsync.net is built on ZFS which is anything but simple. Having worked with multi-petabyte ZFS systems, you can run into some seriously hard to track down issues."

Obviously I have a few things to say about this ...

First, zfs was considered production worthy on FreeBSD and put into fairly widespread use as early as ... 2008 ? 2009 ? We could have made very good use of it as we were running into all kinds of limits and corner cases with UFS2 and very large filesystems with hundreds of millions of inodes.

But we waited until late 2012 to do our first deployment and it took us about six years to finally deprecate the last UFS2 systems. We did this out of an abundance of caution and a desire to see things shake themselves out over several major releases of FreeBSD.

As for the complexity of ZFS, our previous architecture had 3ware RAID cards and all of their firmware and complexity sitting between the drives and the OS. In a way there was a beautiful elegance (in my opinion) in giving the OS a single drive:

newfs /dev/da0

.... and that single drive just happened to be 40 TB in size and the OS has no idea what's going on underneath ... but there is a lot of complexity inside a full-blown RAID card and a lot of ways for drives to interact weirdly with it - especially when the drive is X years newer than the latest firmware for the card.

I find that on the very deepest, hardware level, handing over raw disks to ZFS and letting it manage them is simpler. We remove a fairly complex piece of hardware and accompanying firmware (since our HBAs are "degraded" to dumb "IT" mode).

Further, all of the "bolt-ons" of UFS2 that we absolutely relied on, such as quotas and snapshots, are elegantly built into the filesystem from the very lowest levels.

We ran rsync.net (and its predecessor) on UFS2 for 11-12 years and I can tell you from the perspective of both day to day management and middle of night firefighting, ZFS has made our lives much simpler.

It's primarily about delaying spread in order to prevent healthcare systems from being overwhelmed.
yeah, but the Fed just lowered rates by 0.5%!

But seriously, if we want to not only fight the epidemic and also preserve the economy the best way to do it would be to make sure that everyone who has to go into quarantine is compensated for lost income. Sort of a targeted guaranteed basic income.
Because it's one of the few mature, fast, scalable analytics-oriented databases that is also completely open source.

The closest open source thing that matches its feature set is Presto, but that one is quite different.

Apache Druid is supposed to be very mature, but also very difficult to set up and manage. I've not used it myself.

There's also Vespa, but I don't know how well it performs with large numbers of columns.

A lot of people use Elasticsearch for analytics. Being based on Lucene, it's kind of columnar, and it can perform very well indeed on aggregations.

InfluxDB may be good, but it's not fully open source.
It's much faster in cases that involve significant processing. Where possible query execution is vectorized and runs in parallel on as many cores as you make available.

I am not an X/wayland dev, but:

I don’t think it’s supposed to be an upgrade from the users perspective, just a new display driver. Maybe a few new native things like rotatable windows etc which if exist in X11 are probably emulated.

Thank you to your caveat to my caveat, and let me add a caveat to your caveat to my caveat: while you're spot on with the hover feature being an important differentiator, it's not in any way difficult with a pen. It works very well in practice. On Windows, even with old/pen-oblivious applications, it works just like moving the mouse - you gain access to tooltips and it reveals interactive elements of the UI. That's another reason I prefer pens over fingers.

(Tooltips usually show when you hold the mouse pointer stationary over an UI element. With pen, it's somewhat harder to do unless you're in a position that stabilizes your forearm, but there's an alternative trick: you keep the pen a little further from the screen than usual and, once over an element you want to see the tooltip for, you pull the pen back a little, so that it goes out of hover detection range. It's simpler than it sounds and it's something you stop thinking about once you get used to it.)
