I think "source available" is a more common term. AFAIK even ms windows is "source available" for certain customers.

I think it's a bit odd choice, but quite clear: it's a kind of shareware with source code available, I guess.

Reuter’s website is a shit show of moving popping, sliding gizmos. Makes it unreadable. I can’t imagine using a screen reader with that.

As someone with German perspective, I'm sure you have a point about Europe having a blind spot there.

Still, it looks like Turkey also are earlier in the curve, which would explain at least some of the better fatality numbers.
You have to push the turnstiles in Milan, too; they're not a great design either, I hope that they get phased out quickly.
Even if most books aren't worth it, shouldn't you still pay for the handful that are?
Actually I am doing a lot of this already. But never grasped the analogy until now. Thanks for opening this way of thought.

I probably will be even more thorough in my digital hygiene.
I could have worked fully remotely in the past 3 years, but I choose to live in a big city and only work from half the time. There are way more things to do in the city than just work. Cinemas, restaurants, museums, stores. Everything in cycling distance. It's easier to network, find people with mutual interests. All these things won't work without the economy of scale.

What it can bring is lower average house prices cities and gentrification of neighborhoods farther away from the city center. People could move farther from the city center because they don't have to commute to work every day. (This is EU specific)
Thanks. I just didn’t use the right Google search strings. This helps
Something like this is interesting, but I find it's missing a lot of the info that I care about. For example, here in Denmark, because our underground is chalk instead of rock, our water has high amounts of calcium - this makes the water 'hard', which means we can rinse off soap very easily in the shower, but most of our water-appliances and coffee machines struggle with limescale, and towels need to be washed with a lot of fabric softener or they will come out kinda stiff and scratchy. I'm sure there are other local concerns such as this (e.g. chlorine levels) that would be nice to look up.

I actually setup something similar years ago with a gmail add-on. Was pretty intuitive and liked it. It would be advantageous to add additional features over this such as:

1. Adding points or estimated workloads to emails.

2. Adding notes to emails

3. Snooze emails (which would drop their priority on the board, but stay in the same lane until post snooze).

4. Highlight who is in the discussion thread.

5. Rules for lanes of work (for instance potentially emails from boss should go straight to “in progress”)
Why do you think Turkey is early in the curve, the new infections are falling and Turkey is doing more tests per capita than France or the UK.

That's probably an example of the blind eye.

> No. WhatsApp uses iOS Data Protection to encrypt user data files (including ChatStorage.sqlite) using the device-specific and unrecoverable hardware UID key as well as a key derived from the user's passcode. It may not be decrypted without physical access to the specific iOS device that created the file as well as knowledge of the user's passcode.

Didn't we learn that not to be the case since presumably the device can still flash a new apple-signed firmware that would override this ?
It's the community moderation that's a problem on Reddit, because any kind of dissenting opinion is immediately wiped out, when it goes against the group think. And the group think is leaning very heavily to the left on Reddit.

The most prominent example is supporters of Donald Trump being forced off-site, but any kind of conservative or right-leaning community or politically incorrect community is being forced out.

I was there for about 10 years, and a few months ago my account got temp-banned because I said a naughty word. So I deleted my account and left the place for good. Some people on the extreme right have congregated elsewhere, but I'm not sure where right-leaning centrists are supposed to go.
The media didn’t lie. They interpreted his incoherent nonsense uncharitably.
For some years now I had not visited Twitter. Over the last three days I followed links to Twitter because they got pushed into my way.

Man was I taken aback every single time. The initial tweets referred to me were quite interesting nuggets. But once I started scrolling some distance down I was immediately in a strange land of turf wars between different groups of tin foil hat people. And people promoting their fake COVID views all over.

From that it was just a short step to adding twitter to my blocked hosts file.

Are you asking who’s willing to be part of the clinical trials? Who’s willing to be vaccinated without a trial? Who’s willing to be vaccinated after appropriate trials?

Personally I fall into the third set. I fear, tho, that this may be a disease for which (as is common with other coronaviruses like the common cold) exposure grants immunity for only a few months.
> elaborate 3d scenes built up out mostly out of distance field primitives, a stunning demonstration of the power and flexibility of the technique.

Also a demonstration of how slow that technique is. I can run stunning games with entire cities of buildings and people and cars and mountains in the distance and trees and grass and clouds all running at 60fps or faster. Or I can run some SDF that runs at 0.2 to 3 fps on the same machine.

Don't get me wrong, I'm blown away by those shaders but they aren't remotely performant.

This particular technique might be okay but you'd still arguably be better running it on 4 quads that make a frame. There's no reason you want to be computing pixels in the middle of the frame where there is no shadow.

What do you actually get out of it though? Everyone talks about "clean history" but how much do you actually use that history? (except to bisect - and bisect works better without rebasing, IME)

You're definitely missing out on being able to pull each other's branches - that's a huge help for avoiding conflicts ahead of time (if you know your colleague is halfway through a change in a given code area, start from their branch rather than master) or for unblocking development while a quickfix is making its way to master. I could believe that tradeoff could be worthwhile, but I've never found that rebasing offers any real advantages in practice.
Autopilot is the name of the vertical scaling system inside Google used for borg. It's been there as long as I have, which is 2012.

I imagine the team that named it didn't need to read a research paper from MSFT to understand the benefits of dynamically scaling machine resources to match load.
so, what makes up the 19MB difference? (i assume it's not caused by the nix one being MUCH older :-)

The drone has a barcode or order number display, and like Uber Eats and friends, the restaurant has an order code. The restaurant checks the drone to see what order it expects, and either hits a button to say it’s not ready yet or loads the order in and it’s done. They could theoretically have cheap touch screen tablets in them. That said, I figure they will have human supervision for the foreseeable future, at least a decade. They would basically need to be disposable for robots to make deliveries completely unsupervised. Which in turn means you could just have a human voice on a speaker, watching the robot and interacting, or you could station such humans at the restaurants themselves, to service the bots etc. for use in a known-safe, well-mapped delivery area.

> Web Rings were amazing, and I think the idea still has merit. Why did everyone stop using them?

Web Rings! That bought back some memories of adding webring code snippets to my website. I agree they are a fantastic idea and I'm sad they seem to have gone away. Wikipedia claims that they were (effectively) killed by Yahoo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring

Beyond webring sites, most of my early browsing time was spent on web forums (devoted to poetry and conlanging, my key interests). It's sad-interesting to see that of the various software packages used to run those sites, only phpBB seems to be under active development for its original purpose.

High school can be many things. And it's not just binned into stereotypes.

For me high school was full of sex and parties. And by far the most sex and partying was via robotics club, believe it or not. Which is also where I learned the most about engineering and really developed a hunger to go to university.

For my kids I want high school to be a whole experience. Equal measures social, sports, and academics. Maybe less sex.

Maybe secure delivery isn't hard for takeout, because usually somebody is hungry and wants it (usually). But UPS or Fedex happens when nobody's home. That's probably the better user story for secure delivery.

Ok in the US its 3/4 in houses and 1/4 in apartments.
Its as high as 50/50 in some EU countries.

Its arguable, apartment-dwellers patronize takeout more than folks with houses (and kitchens and larders and cooking equipment and storage).

Exactly this.

The Aus Gov - especially the current one is massively lacking in trust.

Encryption laws, metadata laws. Scope creep on metadata access (ie local councils, horse racing bodies). Lack of transparent reporting when these laws are in use.

Raids on journalists.

Not to mention their lack of transparency over bushfires, sports grants, angus taylor's family connections with mining / paying $90m? for water to associated company. Ministers failing to declare gifts granted by airlines because they fell into previous parliament and not current one. Climate change vs mining interests. Loading the grid management team so they simply push renewables down the road instead of taking action to get wind/solar take up.

Marking spin vs real substance in every single press conference from all the top federal ministers.

The PM waiting for states to take charge of quarantine measures so he didn't get the blame for bringing those in (and get bad PR) early in the covid-19 crisis before we knew how bad it was. School closures. Ruby Princess.

So after all that they want to trust us with an privacy breaching app because it's the right thing to do?

I wouldn't install a hello-world built by current government even if my life depended on it.
I think it's mostly an artifact of mathematicians using a single letter for variables. (Which one could also argue against.)

Certain variables pick up a conventional meaning, and one quickly runs out of letters.

It starts with this and then could become if you're not apart of the list you're going to have "more problems".

What other province is doing this? In my opinion this makes it more complicated already.

It always starts with a first step, Bill 101 exists to protect the French culture. Now people actively use it as an exploit against companies.

I've known people who use Bill 101 to have documents provided in French just because they didn't like what the company was doing and for no other reason than to make them have to do it.
With the new CDC death rate just released 98.7 - 99.9% survive. 2 months ago we weren't sure about this novel corona virus. Now we know its not very deadly at all compared to influena. They are actually same death rate. Now when you factor in every person that tested positive and later died was marked as covid death. Even when they had only hours to live like from cancer for instance. So the numbers are admittedly cooked to make covid appear worse.
Then the desired diff does not exist.
Sure, it's not bit-for-bit like Nix and friends, but it's as predictable as you'd expect "docker pull ubuntu:bionic" to be, which is perfectly reasonable/comfortable for desktop scenarios.
This is one of those articles that is self-promotion disguised as a "lesson" of some sort, and it gets upvoted by loads of people who then want to engage in their own self-promotion.

"Oh yes, this is true..my experiencing with my book [link]"...

Tech/software dev books make extremely little money. The #1 reason people write such books -- knowing that they're unlikely to see much more than a coffee or two of proceeds -- is for reputation/career development. Getting a book "published", even through actual publishing houses, is the easiest part of the process: Agile printing and the absence of editorial standards makes it a close to riskless process for them.
I’m chuckling here. A tech podcast I listen to completely changed my perspective on Twitter a few years ago for the better: she described it as a cocktail party. You come, pop your head in for a bit, maybe participate in a conversation for a bit, and then go back to life. The corollary is, to get the most out of it, you need to pick which parties you go to! In the weeks and months following that, I significantly changed the set of people I follow, and now my feed is primarily a bunch of happy tech people sharing the cool stuff they’re working on. Occasionally a bit of political drama or other bullshit leaks through, but it’s pretty rare. If it consistently leaks through due to one person, that “unfollow” button is easy to get at!

Edit: oh, I do sometimes search for some kind of current event on there and am generally horrified by the conversations. Yikes! So I close the stream and go back to my happy curated bubble garden.

I worked very hard to get it accepted as is. But it's obvious that if a professional had written this patent, it would have been more general and robust. But it's expensive, especially to make it world-wide, and that's not at all what I want. This patent was a non-technical aside in this project.

i was planning to try out Nix on MacOS, because i always wanted to try out Nix and i use MacOS, but then Catalina happened,a and suddenly there were problems with Nix on Catalina.

last time i checked the install-instructions on Catalina, you had to create an unencrypted volume to store the nix-things, which i'd prefer not to do (i understand those files are probably non-personal, so no need to encrypt them, but i don't want to have to remember that half of my hard-drive is unencrypted)

is that still required or is there a simpler approach now?
You have an automatic tool that tells you. Your program won't "compile" unless the proof is correct.

Whether you've proven the right thing still requires judgement - what you end up with is a provably correct implementation of what you thought you wanted. But that's a much smaller problem, and at a minimum you're guaranteed to have an unambiguous definition of what it is you actually built.
In principle there's no reason why you couldn't cater to each user group quite differently and make one experience morph into another as users gain confidence and/or show interest in more advanced features, but in reality there's rarely the scope to even refine the basics iteratively, so everything ends up heavily compromised. (Speaking as a UX designer, 10+ years experience)
Don't think so then there is no real inflation: the total assets equals automatically the amount of money month after month after month..

You are right to be sceptical, it is indeed a dictatorship but it's not the kind of dictatorship that makes doctors disappear. There is no indication about any major cover-ups, the country is not insulated from the west, has visa-free travel with many Western countries, is part of many western institutions and has many wester journalists based in Turkey.

"I don't like Erdogan and his policies" is not good enough to dismiss Turkey as a closed society, the country is NOT like DPRK or Iran. Turkey is financially and institutionally integrated with Europe and the USA.

This(dismissing the country solely on its current political situation or lack of awareness beyond the stereotype and prejudice) is exactly the mentality that I am talking about and I suspect that it is killing many people in the west.
Sometimes I agree: In this case, I read it more as telling us how much he appreciates the compliment because of the fact he generally feels subpar.

I am the same when I speak Norwegian: When I get a compliment, I feel as he does.
It's not perfect and Google should definitely figure out a way to push low-level security fixes, but it does help on the security side as well.

I guess this is how "blue chips" used to conduct business sometime in the distant past, long before the game of charlatan CEOs leading "unicorn" companies, nonsensical multiples being preferred over concrete fundamentals, inflated metrics becoming a common (yet widely accepted) secret across the industry, growth by mass online ad purchases substituting organic growth, and investors' myopic focus on silly IPOs and stock buybacks (in the detriment of both the company and the economy as a whole) turning into the modus operandi of investing in our age.

I really hope we can find this long-lost tenacious "donkey" spirit again. We will all need it, especially as we face what is perhaps the most brutal economic depression of the last 100 years.
Chernobyl and the Cost of Lies (2019)
It's not. In fact, this initiative is laughed at by most people here (in QC) as it is mostly exactly the same thing that "La toile du Québec" was 20 years ago. The government (and a few not very liked but well connected people) thaught it would be a way for people to get infos and to buy local. It's not very good.

The parent just wants to brightly shine his anti-quebec bias.
That's the trade-off I would most likely take in the "isPromise" case. But the opening question was a generic one ("What's the difference between a utility file and a package"), so the answer should reflect both sides.
Unicorn is a scriptable CPU emulator. What happens though when a program uses a system call? Qiling tries to fully emulate what the host (windows, linux, etc) should do. Emulating the systems an OS provides is not trivial. An OS provides networking, filesystem, loading a binary(ELF, PE, MachO) into memory, etc.

Using QEMU with full system emulation can do some of this, but you don't get the scriptable control and deep analysis capabilities of Unicorn.

angr, from what I gather, can be useful for targeting specific sections of code. If you've reversed a binary enough to know where to target, this is useful.
For example, code such as as parsers which are typically complex and vulnerable or finding a specific input to reach a desired location (i.e. ctf challenges).

The problem qiling solves is that applications don't run in a vacuum, they are highly dependent on the OS they run on. Emulating each OS allows for dynamic analysis not possible with other frameworks. Some tools like Corellium provide great system emulation, but qiling has much better potential for analysis purposes.

The slides in the 'News' section of the page do good job of explaining in detail. https://www.qiling.io/docs/Qiling-NullCon2020.pdf

The distance between camera is really important. In the lab everything is fine tuned before each deployment. In the wild anything could happen, and if the distance changes (that’s the base of the triangle ), all your calculations are off.

That’s why monocular depth estimation is more robust. Skydio drones do it as well.
Surely it's more silly to drive around an empty 500 kg motorized cage for humans just to deliver <1 kg of food?
Yes, but that doesn't mean they are the same. Capitalism is a way to describe market efficiency which is a good thing, but people are turning the word to mean a system where people hurt each other for profit.

I agree people shouldn't hurt each other, but that doesn't mean we should redefine a word and abandon a system of marketplaces.
