I think what OP meant was closer to "if it could have been entered into the bash history than there's other ways it could be seen".

Most CLI programs that need sensetive information as input should either do it interactively (a la sudo), as standard input, or configuration file. If worst comes to very worst, you can put the sensitive info in a text file and use backticks. For example:

some-command --username=jedimastert --password=`cat secret.txt`
I didn't miss it, i ignored it because it doesn't mean anything really. It isn't a matter who has the most garbage, consoles already have enough garbage that any illusions about quality control are just that: illusions. They are long past the point where you can ignore them, as shown in the first video.

The better way is shown by Steam: provide tools for people to find interesting stuff and have people manually make recommendations. Even just the tags that Steam has make it much better than 99% of other stores out there. I'm not a fan of Steam overall due to the DRM pretty much all of the games in there have, but from a UX and discoverability perspective it is pretty much the best store despite being one of the most open stores.

And anyway, consoles aren't locked down for quality control, that is just an excuse and was always an excuse ever since Nintendo said it back in the 80s. They're locked down so that they can have control over the software that appears on console, to get their cut from the software sales and be in control over the console's lifetime so that they can ensure nothing will keep it alive after they decide to make a new one.

None of these are about quality nor anything that is of any benefit for those who have purchased the console.
The worst is when you expect a password prompt so you type the password and hit enter, but you mistyped the original command and you end up typing your password in plaintext onto the command line. oops.
For example I am thinking that Chinese American's may be exposed to the Confucian thought and way of living, which is kind of different world view from the American one. There are cultural differences between people.

This is doubly nonsense. TeX works very hard to make good looking spacing. Markdown emits HTML, which has a completely separate rendering engine for spacing. And the only reason HTML looks wrong is that the programmers of rendering engines weren’t as good as Knuth, and van Rossum’s anti-intellectualism lobbied against semantically rich markup for sentences.

FaceTime does NOT edit your video to make it look like you're looking at the camera. The feature was tried in a beta of iOS 13 (called "FaceTime Attention Correction") but it was pulled in subsequent betas and never released to the public.

Just call a friend on FaceTime and screenshot the self view while talking and you can see that there's no automatic editing being done.

The liabilities of the Fed [0] are money in circulation, reserves accounts of banks (mainly to meet requirements) and the deposits of the Treasury. Besides the fact that it is not clear why the Fed may collapse when they can create money to pay back their liabilities, I am not sure what it would mean for the Fed to default on the bills and coins in circulation (?) or to wipe out the accounts of banks when those very banks are legally bound to hold money in those accounts.

I've had this app a while and just used it to identify Eastern Skunk Cabbage growing near me. I didn't know that some plants could be thermogenic.

This app seems to work pretty well. I tried this identification first on a single leaf and only got results for plantains. But using a pic of the whole plant got an accurate ID.

No they don't because company's don't have values people do.

In my experience, a company holds to it's stated values because it has a strong central leader. A zealot if you will that's holdiy to them and inspiring others to stick with them. They are willing to risk it all because it's the right thing.

Most company's, values are extremely flexible depending on how profitable the company is. Companies with boards, shareholders, etc... First duty is to be profitable to them. If they can be profitable and good moral values that's great and many times it starts that way. When times get difficult it because values and morals go out the window.
Neat :) I just had a little play with that in our garden it got things like himalayan clematis, forget-me-nots, dafodils and chives right. Will have to try on mushrooms etc!

Sometimes when it didn't seem to give a high accurate match it says 'dicots' for the family.

It said hemp family for my hops, I guess it's hard to get an exact match of hops, unless they're flowering I guess. But impressed it got that, it seems a hard problem!

Edit: it did get hops eventually after trying a different angle :)

This is one of my biggest pet peeves in UX. People almost always mix up user-friendly with beginner-friendly.

Those are very different and the majority of cases they are opposites of each other.

A good UX is one that combine the two (well, that is also under the assumption that a broad audience is targeted).

I was a huge fan of "The History of Rome" by Mike Duncan and loved his new series "Revolutions". If you like history, these are both fantastic.

Huge caveat: He got his start with "The History of Rome" so it takes him a while to warm up and relax. The first 25 or so episodes are a little more "here is the story as we know it" where as after that he adds some humor and it becomes the story of Rome instead of a list of facts.

Other ones I have enjoyed:

Listen Money Matters - a great no nonsense podcast about personal finance. It is a great jumping off point. They talk about all kinds of topics related to personal finance so you won't get bored.

The Finance Independence Podcast - This is not as regular as other podcasts but I feel the interviews on this one are a lot more engaging and thought provoking.

How I Built This - Fun show about how CEOs and founders came up with the idea that took them to the moon. Its little self congratulatory but also fun to hear the stories.

It depends exactly what you want linux for, but if it is command line stuff, then Windows Subsystem for Linux is ok.

WSL is just a linux syscall wrapper around the Windows kernel, so it isn't a perfect replica, but WSL2 runs a customised linux kernel alongside windows, so it should very close.

Because whether or not it is "correct" in some meta-sense, it probably isn't the style used by whatever organization they're doing the editing for. Organizations tend to have style guides for external documents. (And may go off different style guides/rules for different purposes.)
Its possible that the shared values and commitment to public service inherent in choosing to serve in the military caused your father's co-workers in the military to see him more clearly and/or in a different light.

It is also possible that his leadership ability did not manifest equally in both settings, for example if he was more passionate about the military than his civilian job and/or if it was a better fit for his skill set.

Not to suggest that some institutions don't still discriminate against Asians etc, unfortunately. Hopefully things are changing for the better though.

I learned to type when I was a kid (in Flanders), around the year 1985 or so (on a purely mechanical typewriter) and we learned to type two spaces after a period. Also I never learned to put a space before colons etc. I feel like I know the rule is to not do that, but I'm not sure where, if ever, I learned that rule.

In Belgium we use the same AZERTY keyboard layout with France (largely) but apparently the typographical rules vary widely.
Pre lockdown:double-shot when I wake up wile the Keurig was heating up, then a cup of coffee. 5-shot latte on the way to work, sometimes a 4-shot afternoon latte.
I gave up coffee once in the 90’s for a month. I felt rundown and was very congested; I thought I had the flu. One day walking through the breakroom I was walking past the coffee pot and had to have a cup.i felt a bit better and went back for another. I felt better still. After 5 cups, I felt fine and my congestion was gone! I never cared after that how much coffee I drank as long as I got enough.
I know in some places the hospital workers are given decent hotel accommodations, that seems to be a pretty reasonable compromise for medical workers in dense living situations, in some places that would require building some additional places or taking possession of some, but given the amount of slack resources right now that also seems reasonable
My previous job was game developing. You can't beat a full featured game engine for productivity.

You either have to use Unity/Unreal/Whatever or develop in house something that comes close to it in features.

Using a renderer + gui library + physics library doesn't get you very far, in fashionable time. And in game industry, if you aren't delivering very fast, you can already close the business before you start. It's a too competitive field to have the luxury to consume more time than the fastest teams out there.

I did a full featured 3d Tower Defense game for a job interview in 3 days using Unity and asset store 3d models. It would have take me months to do that without it. Maybe more if I had to write the renderer.
ART as of Android 10, combines an hand written interpreter in Assembly, a JIT compiler that generates PGO data as well, and an AOT PGO based optimizing compiler capable of doing bounds check elision, de-virtualization, auto-vectorization, escape analysis and a couple of other traditional optimizations.

The PGO metadata files also get shared across devices via the Play Store as means to steer the AOT compiler into the optimal level of optimization across all users of the application.

I assume that at the current level of ongoing ART optimizations, the team would consider that a compiler bug.
I made no moral claims in my post. My post was simply to establish the facts and motivations in the case that tend to get overlooked in these discussions. Whether or not institutions should be able to bias their admissions as to maximize certain outcomes, and what criteria for discrimination is justifiable, is what should be debated. These silly semantic arguments that try to paint the facts as racism against Asians or entirely innocent attempts at diversifying their student body are entirely unhelpful.

I'm not sure if it isn't good. Of course discrimination based on race/sex/creed/etc. is going bad in almost all cases, but I think at some level you need people who have some measure of cultural similarity, don't you? And by selecting any amount of cultural similarity you're admitting an inherent bias.

At what point do you get diminishing returns on focusing on reducing bias, or at one point do you actually make things worse for the sake of eliminating bias? I'd argue if you eliminate all bias, you'd eliminate any variation in culture.

I agree with you that you should be able to find a job based on your skills, and others should be able to tolerate your culture, but I think a lot of the action around this is extremely superficial and not well-thought. Believe it or not, I actually find that I have less cultural navigation working with Indian engineers than I do with religious white people in the United States. I don't think this whole thing is so focused on WASP - vs others, and spending so much time on it is quite shallow. People who focus on that so much I think, largely, haven't been exposed to much of the world.

I also think that focusing on the United States as a nation of immigrants is kind of weak. In a global society I think we need to apply these standards everywhere. Brasil is a nation of immigrants, too. Should only the United States focus on reducing bias because it's "a nation of immigrants"? Why shouldn't Japan focus on this? Russia? Ethiopia?

For the record, I'm responding you with some of my own real thoughts here and not trying to "cancel" anything. I don't believe in that. :)

@Raph I don't have Zulip, but you have motivated me to play a lot the last weekends with Vulkan compute, and I am a bit disappointed.

I think I was expecting to have a similar level of control as with CUDA or OpenCL, but it turns out that wgpu/Vulkan compute is more like "OpenGL compute shaders", which is "compute for a rendering pipeline", something quite different than "CUDA/OpenCL compute", which has nothing to do with rendering.

If all you want is to stick a compute shader in your rendering pipeline, then wgpu/vulkan are great IMO.

If you want to do CFD, linear algebra, or machine learning, then it feels like fighting against a technology that just wasn't meant to be used for that. I managed to write a tiny explicit CFD code with Vulkan compute just fine, but the moment I wanted to implement a slightly more complicated algorithm, I was limited by things like how to properly do linear algebra (e.g. I needed a algebraic multi-grid preconditioner and a conjugate gradients implementation, and ended up fighting against how to control what's get put into shared memory when). When trying some NN kernels, I got stuck with the same issue. I managed to implement an FFT and convolutions with Vulkan, but... I couldn't manage to get convolutions achieve the same perf as with CUDA cause with Vulkan I had to use a "pull" algorithm (read from all points in the window, write to one point), but that just performed way worse than the "push" algorithms that are possible to implement with CUDA (maintain a shared memory cache where you write, and as you read one value from the window, write its contribution to multiple locations, then do a full cache write to global memory). In numbers, I went from ~150 Gb/s throughput with Vulkan to ~700Gb/s with CUDA.

I think maybe Vulkan/SPIRV could benefit from better compilers that take the "pull" algorithm and compile it to a "push" one using shared memory, but you are then at the mercy of the compiler for a 4x perf diff.

I think that if I have a rendering pipeline in which I want to integrate some compute, then wgpu/Vulkan are great, particularly because chances are that the compute you need is per "vertex/pixel/..." kind of naive-massively-parallel kind of compute. But if I just have a raw compute pipeline, then it feels like using the wrong tool for the job.
I would love to see this. I currently use a Chromebook as my 'around the house' laptop. It's great for that but once you start doing things like installing apps or having multiple users it breaks down fast.

For example, the Google Play store app is only accessible by a single account, and apps aren't available across users. So if another user wants to install an app, you have to log out all users and they need to log in as the primary user. It's super annoying.
This could be a real game changer if Apple succeeds in expanding their mobile toolkit to the ARM Mac.

To be honest, I'll buy an ARM Macbook right now if I can use Microsoft Office, Safari and VS Code.
If I am stuck on something, and that something is in your realm, either for understanding or providing, then I might be stuck and unproductive until you answer.

Covid Complacence
How about the doors being to planes?

The cheap flight was what made this epidemic a pandemic.

We can continue lockdown until everyone who has got it has recovered and is no longer infected. This is a matter of weeks and we are mostly there.

Once we get to no new cases per week for a couple of weeks then we can end the lockdown and get on with our lives.

To prevent reinfection then anyone that flies in gets quarantined unless they come from a plague free country. The same applies to other border crossings, e.g. ferries and roads.

This approach works with rabies in the UK and with other historical plagues. No widespread daily testing is needed this way just the health service testing we have now.

This approach is the only realistic option using what we can do now. However there is little talk of quarantine being used for those that fly. Quarantine means forty days.

You should read the GP a bit closer. He already got rejected by his first choice. This is one of the reasons why he said that being Asian-American is a disadvantage.

And he's right -- it is a disadvantage in terms of getting into American universities. You can read my story in response to the GP. You can read countless anecdotes online. You can read the stats from the various studies and court trials.

Asian-Americans still do okay in American life in general, after college. One just has to be ready to accept that the university you attend does not have the final say in how your life unfolds.

I presume your ZX-Spectrum didn't come with an online softwar distribution service. Mind certainly didn't. I typed it in from printouts like we all did.
I can already see how future ML platforms going to gain a lot from crowdsourced data.

Imagine a platform that can publish an app for classification of any particular use case, and the dataset is contributed and vetted by the community of users

For example:
1. App for identifying animals ( like inaturalist )
2. App for identifying a car/bike model versions
3. App for identifying languages and translate
4. App for identifying different kinds of dogs
> If you have a background picture, you have all the info you need to identify your subject - just plain subtraction

It's not really "just plain subtraction", it's keying. Which AIUI basically means setting the alpha according to the difference between the image and the reference.

Green screen works well for this because, excepting Zoe Soldana, people tend to hang out around the opposite side of the colour wheel, so there tends to be a good distance between foreground colour and background colour. If you're trying to do this against arbitrary backgrounds, you seemingly need to augment keying with additional techniques like image segmentation to get good results.
You're talking about connecting an external screen to a laptop or two monitors on a desktop and using it in only-display/only-laptop/mirror/separate screens mode right?

To be fair, my Thinkpad from work is the first laptop that has issues with when (dis)connecting a screen. When disconnecting I need to turn on the laptop screen before disconnecting; for connecting I can usually log in without screen and use Super+P to switch modes and that fixes it.

But other than this first instance, I never heard of this being an issue and people here talk about it as if it's commonplace. I must have used or seen Linux used on at least 30 laptops with 2 (or more) screens without issue in the last ~10 years, counting the ones at my previous employer as one because they were all the same hardware even if people ran different distributions.
