There are iOS apps that allow you to edit and run python code.

The amount that it can do with the OS and stuff is fairly locked down, but in the version I used to have installed (incompatible with iOS 11, so I can’t use it anymore) iirc even allowed using import os to use some shell commands (though, of course, the shell was very locked down).
I believe Java (OpenJDK at least) is slow to start even if you disable the JIT and go with pure interpretation, and even if you disable runtime bytecode verification. It's just generally heavyweight and slow to get off the ground.

I imagine JIT compilation should help with this, as you suggest.

The takeaway from these events is clear: There are a very large portion of Americans who live in a separate world from you, where "defund the police" does sound like an ideal goal, and police interactions are solely a source of danger.

Because the police are there to protect property of the upper class, it may be hard for a member of the upper class to envision a functioning society without those protections. However, what these demonstrations are trying to show is that there is a large portion of society in which the police are simply an oppressive force.
And the shame for any businesses who fall back on this excuse is, their disaster recovery or business continuity plans should have already taken into account the necessity that a large section of their workforce may need to work outside the corporate network. There's zero reason not to have this planned out as a real possibility. Natural disasters, fires, terrorism, power outages, the list of possibilities is almost endless for reasons why business can't be done at one planned location.

I work as a security consultant and I've had companies tell me they can't plan on working from home because of culture issues (aka bosses want to see their employees in front of them). And yet all of them have disaster recovery datacenters or multi-zone cloud setups because they know inevitably a tornado or earthquake or fire or ice storm or something will impact their main datacenter. But no plans for their employees because of "culture".
Remote attestation can be incredibly useful and mutually beneficial on client devices as well if you're willing to consider applications beyond DRM.

For example, every smartcard is essentially a device in your physical possession, running somebody else's code. I'd argue that for example in the case of EMV payment cards, the benefit is mutual (less fraud).

Why SolidJS: Do We Need Another JavaScript UI Library?
That actually makes a lot of sense....the desirable qualities for a journalist in 2020:

a) good/popular writing style

b) an ideologue in subjects that have high ideological "weight" in the population

Honesty, accuracy, fact checking, nuance, all of the traditional desirable attributes for journalists are now not only not required, but extremely undesirable.

And depending on the particular organization (say, a relatively reputable organization like the NYT), the only thing you need are editors who can proofread the article before publishing, replacing explicit assertions with a variety of weasel words, a big chunk of which could likely even be automated to insert suggested edits that just need a manual review.
It seems reasonable, but we need to not conflate niche with lacking-popularity (i.e. low usage).

Niche is about the environment, i.e. the problem domain.

Analogy to biology/ecology, grazing on mountain tops is a niche that is also unpopular (i.e. low usage), meanwhile pollination is a niche that is popular.

The problem domain for Rust to be useful is very large, across the programming ecosystem and across the programming ecosystem effort is put into increase accessibility for the less and less experienced (e.g. embedded, wasm, webservers, clis, etc). However, Rust might currently lack popularity (i.e. low usage).

The problem domain for Inline Asm to be useful is very small, typically by experts in narrow domains and across the programming ecosystem effort is put into decrease the need for inline asm (e.g. crypto, firmware, drivers, etc). It also happens to be unpopular, and is avoided as much as possible.

Summary, Rust is pragmatically niche, rather than theoretically niche, Inline Asm is theoretically niche, and also pragmatically niche.
Yeah, the difference is at least some of the media can at least attempt to be truthful with limited chances of accidental novichok exposure, falling through the window or accidentally falling on a knife multiple times. etc.

I don't use twitter often, but looking over the UI I don't see any ability to flag tweets - am I missing this or does it not exist in any visible place? Pretty much every other social media (Reddit, Youtube, Facebook) seems to have the ability to flag posts. That would make it much easier for them to identify and remove these kinds of replies. Combine that with no upvote/downvote system and people have no way of pushing down spam.

Full disclosure: I weirdly strongly agree. I work in finance but I'm a really good teacher, I tutor, I did youth work before I turned 30, I hope to return to it one day. I should be a (socially useful) teacher.,

That said, society has decided that teaching is worthless.

No one says that out loud. But it's 100% what we have decided as a society. That decision has been in place since I was in school in the 90s. Its spanned administrations, economic conditions, booms and busts.

If we gave a shit about education, we'd fund it. But we don't. Everyone agrees its vitally important, until it's time to pay 1% more tax so a school can have a working fire alarm.

I feel like the author is blaming macdonalds employees for the fact no one is ordering salad. But on a national scale. Why not just be honest and say it: people want Ez credit and low taxes and if their kids come home with lead poisoning from the school paint, they're OK with that. We'll, not ok with it, but not willing to pay a dime to prevent it...

Its not Harvards fault or the fault of the "best and brightest" that we don't want the things we're meant to want.

Expecting the best and brightest to throw their lives away and work shitty jobs because it would be nice is pretty fucking rich and cheap
I'm not sure why people always jump to such extremes. When I see "defunding", I see something more like Camden, where they fired all the police officers and hired non-union to form a new police department.

> Even in a relatively small conference, I have a really hard time interrupting someone to ask a quick question, even when the speaker is expecting interruptions. It's always "excuse me!"; delay as person continues speaking; I stop; the other person says "yes, please ask away"; when I restart my question the other person already assumed I've changed my mind and continues speaking; repeat ad infinitum.

One way to solve this is to have the speaker name the person, and then wait until that person speaks. For example, if someone interrupts:

Speaker: [Talks]
Person A: Excuse me!
Speaker: Yes, Mr. A? [waits]
Person A: What about X?

Or if there are two people talking at the same time

Speaker: [Talks]
Person A and B: Excuse me!
Speaker: Yes, Mr. A? Mr. B, I'll come back to you after A. [waits]
Person A: What about X?
Speaker: [Talk about X]. Mr B, you were saying?
Person B: What about Y?

Treat it as a synchronization problem, with the speaker breaking the ties. As long as it's obvious to everyone whose turn it is to speak, it works well (assuming people aren't too rowdy/impolite).

Why Tacit Knowledge Is More Important Than Deliberate Practice
Occasionally I fall asleep and awake to a channel like this, usually one showing science television content with an extremely active stream of real-time commenters. This gestalt of this channel is nearly identical. Has anyone written up an explanation of these vaguely (or not so vaguely) scammy YouTube channels? Or posted a YouTube video, more likely?
Not precisely, but surely you understand that conversations frequently involve bringing up related thoughts and are not mere thrust and riposte.

Or, alternatively, "Did I say that you said that?"
Maybe they've A/B tested this?
I reported it as well, it's a sophisticated scam. Look at all the bots in the chat talking about how they got double bitcoins.
You're of course free to hold that view.

The linked page tracks both - production and consumption.

For example, at the moment, Germany produces at 415g/kWh but consumes at 382g/kWh, mostly thanks to 3 GW import from France and 2.7 GW import from Switzerland.
That's really interesting. I found this too: https://twitter.com/jduffyrice/status/1270380991178321921.

It seems there's a debate between people who mean "defund" literally, that is, who want to abolish police, and people who are trying to moderate or (depending on your perspective) dilute the idea. The first group seems to have been at it for longer. If so, they must resent their slogan and their idea being coopted in this way.
No one except megacorps is going to build and maintain any alternative. Yes, it'd be much better than maintaining the status quo where the two user-friendly operating systems are either hardware-locked or riddled with bugs, vulnerabilities, and Candy Crush.
Security is about trade offs. Talking about absolutes makes barely sense in this context, because any perfectly secure system is also perfectly useless.

Despite the chosen solution on SO - and from how the question is stated, it is clear that the asker only wanted confirmation -, sudo has its uses, even if is not perfectly secure (especially with the default configuration).

I suggest a more sensible approach for all security-related discussions: All systems have vulnerabilities, but some improve your security posture.

Sometimes I do get the feeling that they are listening to my thoughts.
So the article seems to present the typical argument against unions, i.e. "they protect bad employees", but ultimately the story concludes with the creation of a new union that negotiated an improved and ostensibly successful deescalation policy as part of the labor agreement. I don't think article presents a convincing case that unions are the problem.
Okay sure, but that still leaves the problem me sending you (someone untrusted) my code and asking for proof that it's running unmodified. Such a thing would let me trust your computer as my own if you allow it.
This will be a game changer on online gaming, too (pun intended, I guess). I don't even like playing games that require headsets and teamwork because the background noise makes my ears physically hurt after long enough.
There's something to this argument, in my view. I think that unions are torn between serving the "labor movement" for lack of a better term, and serving the narrow interests of their most senior or influential members.

I grew up in a suburb of Detroit at a time when the auto industry was contracting. What I recall was that senior assembly line workers (my neighbors) were working 60 hour weeks and pulling down overtime pay, while junior workers were getting laid off.

Naturally, unemployed people had no union representation at all, and this was a perfect opportunity for politicians to start stoking anti-union resentment amongst the working class, which persists today.

Meanwhile as I recall in one of the European countries, perhaps Germany, the unions negotiated with the government and agreed to a 4 day work week, in order to keep a larger number of workers employed. As reported in the US, this became fodder for "those lazy Europeans and their 4 day work weeks."

In the US, the car companies reacted by pulling the plug on entire factories and moving them to anti-union states.

There is no USP really... it's an OpenSource reimplementation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS (before your time?). Haiku has been around in some guise or other since the early 2000's.

BeOS was/is pervasively threaded and took full advantage of multiple cores (a very novel thing when it came out - BeBox had two PPC processors).

Similar projects include: ReactOS (Windows 2000), AROS (AmigaOS), FreeDOS (MS-DOS), FreeMiNT (Atari ST). I think there might even be one for OS/2
I'm not trying to make that argument.

I'm literally asking you, what do you use for that purpose?
Any profiler.

As a development tool: You can default to writing the majority of your code dumb, terse[1], and straightforward, even if you know there's a clever algorithm you might be able to use, because that way is easier to debug. Computers are fast and N is usually smaller than you think, and when you apply the profiler you'll find out that that the biggest performance problem isn't the thing you were going to optimize anyway.

As a product tool: People are more likely to buy responsive programs. The state of modern websites is so bad that non-programmers will actually comment. Every tester for Space Trains[2] commented on how smooth it is. That's a game, but I've seen the same comments on productivity software I've written.

Lichtheim edited a 3-volume "Ancient Egyptian Literature" which contains a lot of funerary inscriptions. I'd second wl's post above: if you don't have tolerance for really dull writing, avoid.

Almost all of that "genre" is of the "seen one, seem them all" variety. Most of it's very formulaic—think nicene creed or traditional church hymns, but less interesting. There were a bunch of standard texts that were reproduced on many tombs, and as time went on this body of necessary texts grew, so that's very likely what a lot of this is. Sometimes you'd get some passages of history but those are usually about as dry as the tombs themselves. More often those are on monuments, not buried in tombs, anyway.

"Mirrors for princes" (instruction texts for rulers, often both moral and practical in nature), scribal training texts (yes, really), and their few actual stories that survive, are all way more interesting than the stuff inscribed in tombs, in general. A lot of those don't survive in hieroglyphs, though, but in hieratic or demotic script.

In a free and democratic society it is the authorities who need to be held under scrutiny.

I get that the government needed to react quickly and impose emergency measures. But now that things have calmed down, we should apply the same standards to business closures that we do to everything else: governments must justify why a business cannot reopen, must apply the rules consistently and fairly to every business, and can be challenged when they don't live up to those obligations.

Linux shows up everywhere. With a GUI.
I stumbled on "Le Morte d'Arthur" in college. It was one of the few books that having a few beers really helped with.
Haiku lacks a lot of features the Linux kernel has, but the overall system architecture and design is significantly cleaner and less fundamentally fragile.

Yes, absolutely, spot on.

But an OS does not exist on it's own. I'm afraid it will all be for naught unless you (or someone) has a viable business model to push the surrounding ecosystem forward.
First, I'll say this to everyone: Get hearing aids if you need them. They can change your world.

About music, this is getting much better in hearing aids. I've been from analog thru digital over 15+ years of hearing aids, and my latest (3 months ago) pair from Phonak (no affiliation) is an honest leap forward. It has a built in Music profile that disables all sound optimizations in general, while still attempting to correct the hearing ranges that you have a deficit in. I was on the verge of no longer being able to hear with hearing aids, that has probably been extended by 3-5 years with these new models. At that point I will be approaching cochlear implant level hearing loss. I happily embrace my cyborg future!

On top of Music, I have a Walking profile that attempts to focus on the person that is walking to the left or right of my and can pick with side on the fly. And they make great ear plugs when things are loud.

The Normal program, auto-magically selects between 8'ish profiles to pick the best one for the environment. And it has finally got it right. Older models I would daily need to force it into the best mode because it guessed wrong. The latest model I only have to tell it what to do once every few weeks.

And to the original topic, noise cancellation, hearing aids bluetooth'ed to the phone/PC for conference calls is hands down the best possible audio experience. Built in noise cancellation, amazing microphones that can be used for your voice portion of the call, tuned to your hearing, with some of the finest sound output possible. Just amazing. These things are so good these days that they are finally being labeled as assistive devices for people without hearing loss. They can give someone with normal range hearing essentially bionic hearing. Tinnitus? They play customized white noise to make the ringing less noticeable. Doesn't help everyone, but it's really nice for me. I hear more ringing when I take my aids out.

Oh, and it does all of this on a device that fits in your ear with a battery the size of a few grains of rice and all in a few milliseconds so your brain sees the mouth move at the same time it actually hears the audio.

Again, get them if you need them.

Congrats. Amazing story
Yeah, I wish there was a simple non-verbal option to signal intent-to-talk.

I want to just be able to hit my self-view and have it have a big icon on it or something so the person currently speaking (and everyone else) can see that I want to say something. Maybe sort these in chronological order so the speaker can see who wanted to talk first?).

In theory you could do this with a good chat, but for some reason the chat in Zoom and the others is kind of an afterthought and nobody uses it.

One of the reasons I prefer text based chat is multiple people can talk at the same time without needing to deal with interrupting audio. If you can type well, the bandwidth is higher for group communication (and you get a log).

At least with video you can kind of tell when someone is waiting to speak by seeing their expression. Audio only is worse (but maybe wouldn't be, if you had good intent-to-speak tools built into the app?)

They call this demand destruction.

It also happens when oil prices get high and companies invest in oil saving technology that permanently reduces their demand.
AWS Chime has significant drawbacks, but one of the things I most liked about it was that anybody could mute anybody else. The number of calls where that significantly cut down on audio discomfort was surprising.

For those wondering, unmuting is a privileged operation that only the user could do themselves.

> The pandemic is not primarily a supply shock. It is primarily a demand shock. People aren't going outside.

That it's not primarily a supply shock (all kinds of products and raw materials are just as available as they were before the pandemic) is yet another indicator of the impact increased automation and labor efficiency in manufacturing has had. It's remarkable - and a bit frightening - how little human labor is required to provide a sufficient supply of goods to a huge number of people.
I'm not the original person so I have no idea what their experience is, but I feel pretty much the same. Every time I work in a language other than Ruby, it feels like programming. When I work in Ruby the language feels almost effortless. I wish I could do everything in Ruby and it frustrates me when there is something I can't make work in Ruby. Especially Rails, everything that works works so smoothly. When it doesn't work I get very frustrated and switch to another language only to find out its even harder in another language.

I don't like programming. I like it when the computer does what I tell it to do. I find that drastically easier to accomplish in Ruby (especially Rails).
