I found enough reports on Reddit that I figured it was worth trying, and I used a Kinesis Advantage for a long time.

If you haven't used a Kinesis, I would recommend buying or borrowing one first. The price of a KA vs. a from-scratch Dactyl [Manuform] is similar, but the KA doesn't need assembly and is easy to resell if you don't like it.

At this point I have a ton of keyboard parts lying around, I've used QMK a lot, and I have strong preferences for certain switches (which I already own), so the cost is just the 3D prints and assembly time (also low, because I've built a few keyboards from scratch before.)
I also strongly believe that the cause is the former - centuries of institutionalized persecution, a vicious cycle of poverty, etc. Why not respond with that? I can understand it being frustrating but we can't just shut off discussion of uncomfortable truths.

I have encountered many situations in my own life where liberal-minded people will outright deny claims like that. Unfortunately those are the statistics; denying facts helps no one. There is an explanation for those numbers - that is what the response should be.

> Assange leaked documents that he had to illegally acquire first (either with help or without, but either way he was in possession of stolen goods). You can't get whistleblower protection for leaking information you didn't have legal access to.

Should we charge the journalists who distributed Snowden's leaks as well?

This seems like making a distinction to draw a line between the two, but I am missing the explanation for why this distinction has moral import.

Broadly? I thinks that's a very American centric perspective. About the last system of justice I'd like to find myself at the mercy of outside those in totalitarian countries is the American one.
It has earned itself an awful reputation, in Europe, at least. It's such a shame that countries like the UK appear to be behaving like client states of America.

Even without boot partition support, if Haiku's able to keep my user files on a DriveEncryption'd partition and automatically decrypt it on boot (i.e. with a password prompt at some point in the boot process or immediately after), then that's good enough for me.
I'm not sure I understand your comment correctly.

Are you saying that black communities should be reasonably crime-free before they can expect institutions not to systematically discriminate them and enact retributionless, extralegal violence upon them?
It’s all well and good until your colleagues start shaming you on Twitter that you failed to denounce xyz. And that’s one of the better situation, too.
>What’s legal and what’s right are not the same thing[...]and in countries with bad laws (Middle East, China)

What are bad laws, whatever people socialised in the anglosphere deem bad? You don't have a monopoly on ethics, sorry. Companies should behave legally, they're not the extended arm of the respective culture they reside in, because if they are we will constantly pester each other with our respective moral values and that's a recipe for conflict.

The solution is pretty simple. Chinese companies need to stop censoring things in the US, the US needs to stop trying to spread its values beyond her own borders, and we can all do business in peace.

What we don't need is countries with messianic attitudes interfering in each other's affairs, and to give businesses primacy over the law in sovereign nations.

I'd rather just use tailwind or other utility css. Why have another proprietary abstraction when you can have something concise that maps more directly to css. You can then build your own local abstractions as needed. Much leaner, universal and comprehensible imo.

The political system doesn't work like this either. All governments and political bodies are capable of dealing with multiple issues simultaneously. As far as I'm aware, none will deny you your rights or restitution just because "hey look, some people who look like you have done bad things, too."
> Always surprising to me how the basic structure of analogy is so commonly misunderstood.

It's what happens when people don't have a rebuttal to the point being raised. It's generally a good sign that they're no longer engaging in good faith.
This is amazing!

But of course it would be even better if they would just publish the documentation.
The assembly is not safe but it is used with safe wrappers. Likewise, there are some custom data structures (specifically for tiling) that are internally implemented with unsafe code (just like libstd's data structures). Fortunately the assembly bits have well defined inputs and outputs so they are testable on their own. I would love for comparably fast SIMD to be written entirely in safe Rust, but that is not possible yet.
it's called WSL2
I think they really undercut their argument with "not a crime" in the title. They may be technically correct for non-offenders, but it's incredibly naive to think such a phrase in the title won't get a lot of scorn and suspicion, even if their hearts are in the right place.

Ye it is strange concept. You make friends among classmates and parents childrens when you are young etc and that is a predetermined selection of candidates, why not at work?

If I would make a friend among co-workers, surely it would not end if any of us switch jobs? As in ex-student friends. Put in another way if you lose your friends from changing jobs they were not your friends.

Yes, there are currently 4 copies of the assembly - for AVX2, SSSE3, 64-bit NEON, and 32-bit NEON. There will likely be more as future architectures get added.
I make my own breadboardable ARMs using cheap converters. I only need a couple for prototyping.

ARMs from ST can run for years on a single AA battery and have nowadays very easy tools.

Probably you are missing understanding of whole range of ARM chips, these start from couple kB of flash and hundreds of bytes of memory.

Most of the pruning algorithms depend on training data iterations to evaluate which synaptic weights can be pruned/removed to make the network optimal without affect performance on test data. New class of pruning algorithms have been developed which prune during initialization without looking at the data which however suffer from catastrophic layer-collapse or require an impractical amount of computation to obtain them. In this study, the authors claim to present a method that is (i) data independent, (ii) computationally efficiet, and (iii) achieves better performance to existing pruning algorithms.

Key idea of their iterative approach:

"..conservation alone leads to layer-collapse by assigning parameters in the largest layers with lower scores relative to parameters in smaller layers. However, if conservation is coupled with iterative pruning, then when the largest layer is pruned, becoming smaller, then in subsequent iterations the remaining parameters of this layer will be assigned higher relative scores. With sufficient iterations, conservation coupled with iteration leads to a self-balancing pruning strategy allowing IMP to avoid layer-collapse."
Internally a lot of Microsoft people still call it amd64.

For example the windows build flavor is called amd64fre or amd64chk. (chk is a debug build, fre is what most humans use)

If that were true there would be equally prominent protests and proposed legislation on both issues simultaneously.

With how versatile the MKV container is, it seems odd that it isn't the de facto container out there.
I used Mathematica a lot during my PhD. Now, using Sage and I am disconcerted by it. The great things about the Wolfram Language is that it is functional, which is a very nice way to think about maths, and how I am now used to. Sage is not functional. You create mathematical objects and those objects have properties that have to extract using Python class functions.

My other gripe, more objective than the above, with Sage is the lack of good documentation. The documentation is certainly complete, but it is painful to read. Mathematica documentation is a treat to read. Every function has its own page with plenty of examples to show capabilities, and show relations to other functions.

With Sage I constantly have to search the web to how to do things, while in Mathematica, I rarely had to leave the inbuilt help.

> Should we charge the journalists who distributed Snowden's leaks as well?

We don't need to, we know who their source was (Snowden). If Assange wants to claim he's a journalist, that's fine, but then he either needs to accept the consequences of protecting his sources, or out his sources.

> but I am missing the explanation for why this distinction has moral import.

It's a question of responsibility. When a journalist protects their sources, they accept responsibility for the consequences, and they they chose to reveal their source, they pass on the consequences to their source, but (usually) take a hit to their reputation as a journalist. Assange appears to not want to accept any consequences for his actions, nor pass them on be revealing his sources.
It doesn't help that there's not really any competition with news any more. Nearly every small news outlet is owned in some way by a larger one and those are in turn owned by an even larger one. Everything is fed top down, so even small local stations end up showing the same news as large ones. The main problem is news isn't news any more. It's entertainment, it exists to tell a story, not explain current events in an objective way.

It's been going on longer than the internet era. My dad jokingly blames entertainment tonight for starting the entertainment news trend, and while I don't think that's likely the reason, it does show an apt comparison. News has definitely become more like entertainment tonight, for nearly as long as entertainment tonight has existed.

It's a problem when every news broadcaster reminds me of fox news from the 90's and they're now actually considered a proper news outlet.

Now for people that have noticed a distinct decline in news quality over the last ten years specifically, this may have something to do with it.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/07/14/u-s-repeals-propaganda-...

In 2012 restrictions were lifted by the government banning government disseminated news, essentially propaganda to the American public.

Since then, there's been a big push, by both sides of the media, to tell their approved stories. These companies lobby the shit out of the government.

https://www.propublica.org/article/meet-the-media-companies-...

Both the government and news companies have it in their best interests to keep major news organizations as shallow entertainment willing to spout whatever the message of the day is.

It's not much better than if the news was state run media, it's just hidden a lot better and government and private interests share the same goal.
tech bros will just buy new clothes because they’re too lazy to do laundry but will do hours of etymological research to try to "prove" in a comment on HN that “guys” is gender neutral, the singular “they” isn’t "correct", and “master” isn’t derived from slavery.

In what way does being capable of considering multiple issues simultaneously require protest for all of these issues, or equal prominence for all of these issues? I have no idea what point you're trying to make, really.
I couldn’t agree more with the parent.

Further, PIC isn’t the only “non-ARM” in this space. Your average RainBird type water timer likely uses an MSP430, for example.

The idea that ARM should be used in any/all situations is naive.
Dividing by the LoC is a mistaken way of looking at this data. Regardless of the amount of code in a browser or in Windows, an attacker may only need ONE exploitable bug to cause mischief. If the amount of code in Windows grows by a factor X from year to year, the CVEs per LoC better be shrinking by at least factor X (this is where Rust comes in) or else the system is getting less secure. Thus the absolute number is the relevant metric, and indeed is the number reported by Microsoft Security Response Center.
The unmoddable ones are mostly there cause they are big names or old names. I mean, heck, LoL was literally inspired by how moddable Warcraft 3 was. If you aren't using a massively well known source material, and you don't have a AAA game studio, your main chance to make a big game according to that list seems like either moddability or cheesy facebook game tactics.
Isn't Assange charged with helping somebody commit computer crime? Is that what journalists do?

Last I checked the only protection on classified information was for people that had a clearance at some point. Which is why journalists can generally publish classified information.

One of my friends works in healthcare. She told me once about how a coworker who worked at the hospital had gotten a certain test done there. This coworker looked up their results through the healthcare information system, and they were brought in to their supervisor to explain why they committed a violation of the hospital system's HIPAA rules. In some hospitals, this might not be a violation and, in fact, allowable.

My answer is that any rootkit or phishing schema that attempted to exfiltrate data from a client terminal would be detected by all the deeply-ingrained automated and formal procedures and systems for monitoring/auditing/alerting of access and usage of the healthcare information system. Also, depriving the doctors and nurses of Facebook/website browsing would probably be a net negative for morale, most especially in these trying times of COVID-19.
This is factually correct for anyone complaining.

It's illegal to keep something you know was stolen.
Your interpretation of the legal outcome for journalists who publish leaks does not line up with any kind of real jurisprudence, at least not in the U.S. The government is not even making this kind of argument in Assange's own case.
"Sounds like the NSA who couldn't point to a single instance of stopping any type of terrorist attack/operation despite collecting anything they could get their hands on."

This is kind of a misrepresentation of the situation.

Manning leaked mostly diplomatic cables, the contents of which he was unaware of, thereby harming his whistleblower credentials.

The contents were not what we would regard as 'intelligence information' - more aptly described as 'the e-mails of the US diplomatic foreign corps', some of which contained sensitive information'.

That gigabyte of private information was released and there wasn't a single scandal of it shows how tight the operation was, moreover any reading of the cables demonstrates how well the US diplomatic corps were actually doing their jobs.

Far from releasing damning information about Americans, the cables released inside information about Arab leaders and their systematic corruption.

To unearth that amount of private information, to have it combed over by thousands of journalists trying to find a juicy bit, and to come up with very little ... is frankly something Americans can be proud of.

It's ridiculously ironic that Manning, in his attempt to discredit America, ended up doing what US diplomats were unable to do within the constraints of their jobs, which is to speak truth to power about the corruption in the Middle East - which ignited the Arab Spring.

The real world is sausage making and grinding, any skeptical, decontextualized look under any rocks will always yield something to talk about - so in the end, it's really the details and context that really do matter.

The cables did truly pose a serious threat to the security and integrity of individuals in various ways, and obviously it compromised many programs. That there doesn't seem to be any deadly outcomes is wonderful, but it doesn't abnegate Manning from the inappropriate actions he took particularly on the cable leak.

What's far more interesting about this case, is the fact that the press used to be in love with Assange, and now they hate him. I wonder what caused them to turn. Obviously, his close ties to Russia are problematic, but it's hard to see exactly what it is. It's possible that he's just not contemporarily a social advocate in their view: we're now full-on into intersectional issues, matters of state etc. are 'old news' it would seem.

Getting screwed by untrustworthy people would be more misses. But returns are made on the hits, so I don't think that would matter.

Definitely the latter issue of investing in something technically interesting would matter a great deal. Maybe you're seeing a wave before others with your insight. But maybe you focus on the tech and not the traction or the path to scale. But knowing the tech is an advantage!
In the same way that decaf is coffee without the caffeine, (and phone-sex is sex without sex), pseudo socialism is socialism without genuine socialists. In the USA -- and increasingly in Europe -- we've seen the socialists' ranks get eroded by our societies' blind pursuit of ever-greater profits at the expense of the common good. This has resulted in the subordination of most aspects of life -- including most aspects of political life -- to the central mechanics of the market. Politicians cannot win elections without capital, which subordinates them to the capitalists. This is why they routinely support corrosive policies (like hobbling healthcare, turning a blind eye to the opioid crisis for decades, decreasing taxes, regulatory capture, etc) and oppose policies meant to better the public uniformly (like free healthcare, free education, net-neutrality, higher and transparent taxation, independent and effective regulatory bodies, etc). In short, they are obligated to support policies that will generate profits for their wealthy patrons, at the expense of everyone else.

Socialism is meant to be a counter-force to unrestricted capitalism. America lacks this counter-force. Instead, America has a (so called) Left that is afraid of being branded "socialist". Because they cannot embrace genuine socialist policies for fear of upsetting their very wealthy and powerful patrons, they are trying to win votes by appealing to people's pathological tendency to form rival tribal groups. This is quite the irony, considering that socialism's original rallying cry was the (inherently trans-tribal, trans-national)"Workers of the World, UNITE".

True socialism looks for opportunity in horizontal social partitions (the social classes), whereas nationalism looks for opportunity in vertical social partitions (ethno-linguistic and religious segregations). This is why nationalism is the capitalist class's preferred evil -- it directs the dissatisfaction and anger of the lower classes against each other, away from the wealthy. Both the American Left and American Right are focusing on the vertical (tribal) partitions -- it's just that the Left is very polite and composed about it.

This is what (I believe) the GP tried to imply with the term "pseudo socialism".
I agree with you. That's why I said, "it's highly unlikely he would be treated fairly or get a fair trial. "
