I meant first [world] standards in the sense of the elements I listed: due process, right to an attorney, presumption of innocence, right to bail, independent judiciary, and such. Not all first world countries excel at all of them, but Japan does not really have any of them.

Immigration is a different animal than criminal justice for various historical or policy reasons. Like many countries, Japan has its problems there too even with minuscule numbers of illegal immigrants as compared to the US or EU.

Chrome extensions: Finding the missing proof
So ML ops is just part of a solution, which I think is the reason why it is a hard to sell.

What I think might work is auto ml combined with models ops, or rather auto model ops.

Or even better: auto data managmenet -> auto pre-processes -> auto ml -> auto ops.
>saw some article about how Microsoft is trying to get Windows 10 to run Linux GUI apps

I thought that exact same thing when I saw that article yesterday.

Interestingly Linux has its own corporate champion: Redhat/Poettering. Currently they're the villain in most Linux circles, but it'll be interesting to see them and MS square off, as they inevitably will.
For any company brought up here, there are people that say it is/will turn evil, so it is not exactly surprising that some of them are sometimes right. A broken clock is right twice a day bla bla.
>You wouldn't say reading a book is "staring at paper" would you?

Actually there is a colloquialism for that since the early 1900's: "Nose in a book"

To your point no one actually has their nose in the book.
The other person who responded nailed it.

There's definitely value and opportunity that can be found in using the newest tech from the freshest companies. You can often find great value from their pricing, better UI, improved results, etc.

So my comment was in no way meant to bash using a startup. It was meant more to point out that there's a double-edged sword here by focusing on startups as there are real risks and trade-offs.

> Now, it seems like every Navy SEAL now publically writes a book, sponsors a coffee line, or slaps their name, likeness and story all over everything from T-Shirts to gun accessories to clothing lines. It's made a complete mockery of what has always been a silent service and honorable job, and it's spawned a HUGE environment of tacticool people who want to act and look the part.

You can thank the propaganda machine being run through Hollywood, especially over the last few years (Zero Dark Thirty, American Sniper, Hurt Locker, etc.), for a lot of that.
Except in the case described by the article, the port scanning is being done not on servers on the public internet but on clients of certain websites.
MLOps is just a buzzword, but maintaining ML projects in large organizations has several major pains, e.g.:

http://papers.nips.cc/paper/5656-hidden-technical-debt-in-ma...

I use MLFlow at my company for solving two specific problems: tracking experiments and model performance.

But if you're small enough, you probably don't need MLOps, Devops, etc...
I'm sure there is a correlation, maybe even a strong one, but I have quite a bit of anecdata to suggest it is not true in all cases.

(I grew up on a farm, and spent a helluva lot of time outside, and needed glasses long before my family had a computer; my father would have spent even more time outside than I did, and likewise is pretty nearsighted.)
Here's a video on how to do it:

But GP's point was that a screen is much brighter than a sunlit surface. You can't both be right, or I'm missing something.
I have also had painful experiences with broken APT state being quite difficult to recover from.

But if you leave it up to developers of each program to update all their own dependencies, it just won't happen. Old versions of libraries (possibly with CVE) would stick around in the wild a lot longer this way.
Never forget that Meritocracy the term was created to mock the idea of it even being possible, now it's become a mainstream accepted thought. Usually the tragedy comes before the farce, I guess this time is different.
Surviving Depression
Definitely does feel like something new is in the air. I got into front-end (after a few years of back-end) during the rise of jQuery and CSS layout, remained super excited about it even with the problems through the backbone years, checked out in disgust and retreated to the back end after my first few Angular apps. Apparently missed whole sub-eras (have no idea what Prettier and Parcel are). Svelte and Deno are both pretty interesting, React at least seems stable and oriented around a smallish number of straightforward concepts, seems almost safe to come back into the water. Almost :)

Still wondering, though, if there aren't a lot of cases where a document-oriented approach (moving markup rather than JSON, progressive enhancement, good old standards) wouldn't serve an application domain better...
Yet in the netherlands this isn't a problem

In the UK

Cigarette and Alcohol are legal, and lead to lots of expense in both health and policing.

Rock climbing is also legal, and leads to health and mountain rescue costs.

Driving is legal, and leads to health and police costs - and often the health costs are lives taken from people who weren't driving in the first place

All three can lead to other costs of social security - crash a car, end up with the governemnt paying sick pay. Have drunk sex, end up with child benefits and education costs for 18 years, etc.
The second argument is a Rectangle, which means you'd be repeating 'Rectangle' twice in one line with the second style.

Wait, what?
The post mentions TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll, I assume it's not the whole source of the games, is it?
This is speculation, but I think reasonable:

- Houseparty spins virtual servers up and down quickly to respond to changing demand.

- They have a DNS TTL that's longer than the draining time for those VMs. Like, maybe they it takes them five minutes to kill a VM but DNS records are cached for an hour.

- The attacker takes advantage of that window to spin up a bunch of tiny VMs and see if any of them are allocated one of the IPs that Houseparty recently abandoned. If so, then they fire up Nginx and serve poisoned PDFs to anyone who connects to it.

- An end-user's app connects to "ephemeral-vm-837.houseparty.whatever" and gets the cached value that their ISP is still serving, because Epic configured their DNS to tell the ISPs to cache it for an hour, except now that IP is served by the attacker instead of by Epic.

Mitigating this could be as blunt as setting DNS TTLs to 5 minutes, then putting "sleep 300" at the start of each server's shutdown script. When you decide to kill a server, first kill its DNS record so that nothing refers to it anymore, then start the waiting period before actually removing it from rotation.
Ivies manage the demographics of the study body for political reasons, but you can rest assured that this is an added priority to securing the best and brightest. Prestige is rarely completely without substance.

> There's a whole world outside of this author's, full of mostly good people who just want good people to do good jobs.

I don't think you're wrong, per se, but that "mostly good people" do not rule the world, and this is no coincidence. They're not ruthless and driven enough to end up on top. See Nils Gilman's "Twin Insurgency": https://www.the-american-interest.com/2014/06/15/the-twin-in...

To stop this problems and other problems, like people in places like the SEC immediately going to work for companies under SEC investigation when they leave, and other revolving doors, it would probably be worth paying higher-level people (special forces operatives, District Attorneys, EPA commissioners etc.) a much higher level of pension that starts paying immediately after leaving the job, contingent on their lifetime disbarment from certain kinds of employment. If the person wishes to go work in such a position, that money needs to be paid back immediately.

It won't stop everyone, but done correctly it could stem the most egregious of revolving doors.
I saw a site not too long ago that had a map of U.S. states with state changes on hover and click. It was just a bunch of SVG's in an <ul>. So it's possible, but it takes some braining.
God I hope so. I loved Erlang and OTP when I tried it back in the late 00s and it never really caught on, despite many of its strong points being what most websites would look for.

Hopefully with the focus on the web and the fresh coat of paint Elixir has given the ecosystem it will eventually gain more adoption. But I still have my doubts because despite looking more mainstream than Erlang, it's still kind of a "funny language".
Dunno why this comment started dead, so I vouched it.
Basecamp hires once every other year and they get thousands of applications for one position, so it's not really a good suggestion.
“The Ivy League admissions system is designed to select the most intelligent and studious students in the world. Even with legacy admissions and related scandals, the Ivy League has largely been successful in this.

Ehh, the universities with the best concentration of talent are not the Ivies but MIT and Caltech.
TLDR: In a Meritocracy, the "most talented" rule over everyone else. But talented != good person. In other words, it may be the dictatorship of intelligent sociopaths.

>I'm sure it already does. All of those companies selling information to the police are probably selling it to well-connected private entities as well. Or hell, the mercenaries may just own these tech companies outright: look at the devos family.

There's always been a strong correlation between near-sightedness and reading books or looking at screens in childhood and early adulthood, and it was assumed for a long time that it was because of what you described (focusing on objects too near), but the latest research suggests something much more interesting is happening.

Children who spend a couple hours per day outside have extremely low rates of near-sightedness, so they think there's something about the eyes being exposed to direct sunlight that's necessary for them to grow properly.
The only place I can really see this making a difference is webassembly (which is not JavaScript). People have been transpiling their code to erase js discrepancies for years.
I agree it's political speech, but it's definitely not "non-violent". If you try to provide examples of non-violent political speech and your first example is someone calling for the deaths of Catholics as group... well, I dunno, seems like maybe there's a better tack to take.
The fact that it's a dynamic language make problems similar to Node / Python, can't dev serious backend services without a strongly type language. Not saying you can't, but you will have a lot of issues overtime that would have been catch at compile time.
I think we are all in the same boat. For me switching from reading to hearing wherever the option makes sense helped a lot.

Basic news coverage is fine in podcast form, audiobooks work fine for non fiction (going at 2x or 3x speed doesn’t kill the atmosphere) and it makes a good excuse to exercise while listening.
No, because of the existence of client-side scripting with javascript, it's actually eBay that's running on your computer acting as the customer toward the shop that's your computer. You're right that the end effect is similar to having to empty out your pockets, but the underlying issue of why they're able to do that is a whole 'nother can of worms.
-readconfig is incomplete. You cannot express all features (and even several common features) through the config file. Also the config file field names are sometimes different from the corresponding command line names. It's considered an appendix by the upstream developers so don't be surprised if it disappears one day.
Part of the problem is "the ability to do abstract symbolic manipulation" becomes conflated with "talent" which then becomes conflated with "human worth"...
Having traveled the world by now, experiencing different cultures, cuisines and work environments, there's really no analog to the experience of rearing a child. It broadens your perspective in a different manner, unlike the other ones. You are probably tired of having everyone with kids say the same thing to you again and again, in different ways. I get it. But you have to admit, there must be some fire to all that smoke.

I do agree with the other posters though: If kids are not of interest, it is better, on average, not to have one. The world is full of unwanted children. Just recognize that there is a consequence attached to not having this experience. As in other things, there's no free lunch.
In my opinion, the current mores of the company are pretty irrelevant; power dynamics are what matter.

Tides change. Whether or not Microsoft is benevolent today, they may not be in 5+ years.

Any company large enough to screw me over without feeling the loss of my (and people like me's) business in their pocketbook, is not a company I want in a position of power over me. Adapted to this conversation: we should not tolerate "extend" from any company that could successfully pull off "extinguish".
This is interesting, but it's a sort of tangentially related story, not "the other side of this story".

> In theory it ought to be possible to switch a single GPU to/from a VM without a reboot. In practice I have no idea how huge a refactoring to the Linux graphics stack that'd require.

I've got this working today. I do it through swapping the nvidia driver for the vfio-pci driver (and back again if required). The slight annoyance is that you may need to restart X11 (for me this is not an issue).

Even if the attacker redirects the traffic, it still needs to serve the HTTPS/SSL certificates. How will the attacker do that?

I definitely remember a time when Google was much, much better at returning relevant results for technical content. My feeling is that there are (at least) two factors at play:

1) Google and other search engines revised their algorithms more than a decade ago. Instead of showing you results for what you searched for, they now show you what they _think you meant_ based on your search history and the search histories of millions of other users. This means searching for uncommon topics and phrases get you useless results. And you can't disable this functionality because it's baked into the core of how Google indexes and categories the content that it slurps up from the web.

2) Blogspam authors and e-commerce sites have gotten SEO down to a science, to the point where searching for nearly _anything_ not super specific no longer gets you _information_ about that particular thing, it gets you blogspam articles filled with fluff and affiliate links, or half-broken e-commerce sites trying to sell you something vaguely related to what you searched for. This is not technically Google's fault but there is a lot they could do to curb this, but all that ad revenue on those sites is how they earn that sweet sweet lucre.

How Social media platforms can contribute to dehumanizing people
Most kids complaining (loudly) about being bored are from my experience those that are over-saturated with TV, phones, tablets etc. that are almost always around. Once you remove this (ie trip to remote nature/vacation), they can go slightly mental for a while.

It seems to me that the recipe for that ideal self-sufficient-loving-smart-social-over-achieving kids that all parents seem to want to have is sort of a pipe dream, and it always has been, just environment changed. We all want them, but few will end up being one and its often not that much a fault of a parent.

Plenty of love, plenty of time together, some time alone, some with others, well-managed discipline seems like a good start. I would add some traveling and exposure to foreign, exotic cultures. One can't avoid screen time these days, I mean if I want to show my kid to parents during Covid, it has to be via webcam. But passive aimless consumption isn't one for me, and for sure it won't be for my kids. I'll rather put them into rock climbing course.

What happened to topics about billionaires forbidding the access to phones & TV to their kids before age of 7?

I guess it applies to almost anything where arriving first gives you a significant advantage over those arriving later, and you use that advantage to extract value from those who have little or no choice but to follow you.

That's just a matter of browser software. The Web platform should not suffer just because the browser is imperfect. You can write your perfect browser, fairly easily with the libraries available. I will try when I have some time.
That is very fair, but why allow piracy with paywall workarounds? Are those considered off topic or illegal? It is a gray area, but people asking for a paywall workaround also seems OT in comments? I only ask because I think its important to the world to have good journalism because it helps to keep the other side of the fence (business and politics) accountable. And I believe that bypassing paywalls hurts that balance of powers.
Plea bargains are evil. It’s my belief that if your case is not rock solid enough that you need to resort to a plea bargain, you shouldn’t be prosecuting that person.

Also, how are plea bargains not perjury? You’re saying, “I did it” even if you didn’t.
