I find this incredibly unsurprising, if you follow journalists on twitter you'll hear the same thing over and over again. They say twitter is a disaster, every time you say anything slightly controversial you'll get dozens of random strangers attack you, and some will even permanently follow you insulting you until you block them. They also say they can't leave because it's one of the primary drivers of traffic to their articles and it would be impossible to achieve the metrics their employer requires without it.

It seems a strange property that twitter has developed of being both a terrible experience but also incredibly effective at organic advertising.
I heard that some big company was selling an AI powered database.

Like you can just talk to your database, and the AI will magically return you the results.

At that point, I think their marketing team had totally lost the narrative.

Yeah, I mean, you're right, it is difficult to specifically know what you want the computer/server to do.

But, writing code (as text) is a lot harder for people to do, than to use graphical elements. Why I don't know, maybe it's just more daunting to get started. But people have an easier time pickup "programming" via blocks rather than text.
The only version mentioned in that paragraph is 'version 0.16 or newer' of rustls, which is only one of the packages they looked at, but it doesn't specify any specific releases or commits that were actually looked at.
I never heard of it. Like, this forum today is the first time I heard that show exists or reference.

> GNUStep ... but that isn't materializing

While I understand the overall sentiment, it's a bit odd as a comment on Objective-Smalltalk which runs on GNUstep. For example, the Objective-Smalltalk website (http://objective.st) is served by an Objective-Smalltalk web-server (heavy lifting courtesy of libmicrohttpd) running on GNUstep on a Linux-based Digital Ocean VPS.

I am also currently involved in a project improving lldb Objective-C debugging with the GNU runtime and just contributed to the GNUstep Catalina compatibility effort.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/gnustep-catalina-compatibility

And of course I also instigated writing a major Web CMS in Objective-C on SunOS/Solaris, AIX, etc. First with GNUstep, later libFoundation, though I think they switched back to GNUstep. Always contributing back.
While I get your point, there are a myriad of things I don’t understand that get posted and commented on here. Usually if I don’t know something, then it’s a good chance to look it up and learn something new.

I think it’d be counter-productive if everyone who didn’t understand a reference or technical concept on here wrote a comment asking for a shortcut explanation rather than maybe five minutes Googling and maybe watching a quick YouTube video (in this case).
I think you're right. I remember reading a 'bit flips can and do happen' war story about server crashes that only occurred at a client located at a high elevation.
Well, I think the most important metric you can measure on the surface is atmospheric pressure. Simple temperature and humidity is generally insufficient to make good predictions - but pressure at the surface, measured across a geography, can tell you about conditions in the upper atmosphere.

I use barometers in phones for this kind of purpose. I think that a minimum of 1 quality reading per 4 sq km would represent sufficiently dense coverage to create an improvement in forecasts. But more is better, since quality can be iffy.

Hmm, let me see. Why might the police need guns to hand out speeding tickets?

Perhaps it's because at least some of the people they stop, for speeding or other possible offences, won't take kindly to being stopped and in many parts of the USA, those in the vehicle may be permitted to carry guns of their own...

Not sure why you'd cite that wiki page, as it describes how Debian maintainers should be removing embedded copies of dependencies and (if necessary) patching the software to use the system versions.

Sure, it's not perfect, and some packages end up having embedded dependency copies, but that's a far cry from flatpak, where everything is an embedded copy, by design.
What's wrong with their view. They're right that such models will always give an answer whether it makes sense or not. Has anyone tried asking Bob to solve sudoku? What happens? Does Bob fill in the blank spots according to sudoku rules and is the final solution an actual solution for the given board or does it end up being a random list of numbers?

> is "no figuring out the toolchain, deployment, integration with third parties, etc".

Yep and programmers are terrible at delivering that: I do believe a lot of people like setting up their environments, running updates and fixing their code while nothing in the business logic was changed. I find it by far the most annoying part of modern programming; I want to build a product that adds to the bottomline; not figure out whatever I need to set up to get that done. After the set up, we do not need drag and drop or whatever; just code is fine, but can we just please skip any and all of the setup by default (you can change it if you require ofcourse!), while it being ready and secure for production, by default? That is what these no code tools do well: I can just start making datamodels, business logic and connections instead of worrying what crucial npm updates will break my code today.

Edit: Also when I run the npm i module no code equivalent (pressing add plugin/module or something), it will immediately work; no 90 page setup document of ‘integrating’ things in my application. Sure the flexibility!!! But why are we (me included) so incredibly bad a sane and ‘just works after install’ defaults? I still think, as said above, that people must like this busywork, otherwise you would expect more complaining?

I do know many freelancers (paid per hr) and many people under contract indeed like that work: it is a nice distraction from thinking about logic and it takes time (a lot of time sometimes), but I cannot believe people really would prefer it over taking a walk outside instead?
For anyone looking at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.07747.pdf to get an estimate on the actual # of IPFS nodes, note that these tools are trying to crawl the number of nodes acting as "DHT Servers" in the Public IPFS DHT. Nodes behind home firewalls or NATs don't become DHT routers because they aren't dialable, and other large users intentionally set many of their nodes into a lower-bandwidth client mode. Also, many applications run their own private IPFS networks (like OpenBazaar for instance) and don't participate in the Public IPFS DHT, so wouldn't be reached through a crawler here.
There are ~10 million arrests per year in the US. That google doc includes non-US cases as well (but is also limited by what’s caught on camera). Still, 0.0007% of arrests leading to a case like this doesn’t seem as horrible as the raw total in isolation.
If this would be the case, the rest would report the violent ones, would testify against them and violent ones would be removed. This would happen in cases where is no video and no public outcry.

That it does not seem to be happening unless there is video and public outcry suggest the issue is cultural and institutional, not just individual. The good cop is not reporting bad cop and is not testifying against him. Maybe the good cop would be retaliated against, maybe nothing would be done, and all of those are reasons why bad cops are empowered.
I agree with what you have said,

Open framework surely looks promising, so do the manifesto,

At that point, I think I was mostly self-driven with the goal of making "it works" with little to no knowledge of security aspects of things. If I am doing the same thing now I would be knowing how to do, how to "Google", and also the right place to ask, but at that time I think I wasn't aware, I do also think this or even worse is the situation of school students at least here because there is no exposure to things and the bright side of the Internet.

Also, for this to solve, one thing we can do is start FOSS and cybersecurity Clubs and build a culture among them through various ways like competitions, workshops, code-sprints, hackathons, CTFs and lot more which can be solved.
Keeping that in mind, from our uni we have Started CTF competitions and bootstrapping them through workshops,

https://junior.inctf.in/

So last year(2019), we did try to have workshops and courses, classes online and offline for school students which did help them.

So the primary problem here I faced was lack of understanding of how really things work and how to explore in a better way.

Because not all uses of "master" have negative connotations. I can support renaming master-slave, but git is not such case. There is pushback because it creates massive amount of work for us without a good reason.

> The shell could use pipes to intercept all output, and relay it onto the terminal. While it works in trivial cases like whoami, some programs check whether stdout is a terminal and change their behavior, others go over your head and talk to the TTY directly (e.g. ssh‘s password prompt), and some use TTY specific ioctls that fail if the output is not a TTY, such as querying window size or disabling local echo for password input.

Where do I read more about this? I'd like to understand terminals, pipes and the differences. And how does the mouse (in case of terminal apps which support mouse, e.g. Midnight Commander) fit in this model.
Can you mention how you organize files themselves? Things like subdirectories, naming, solving name clashes, and how do you decide when to split content into two or more files.

I've always struggled with mapping any note organization mapping into strict directory structure with ascii file names being the only meta-data. I'm currently using Trilium Notes which solves most of these by using SQLite instead of filesystem.

There are lots and lots of mishaps in many professions, sometimes with deadly consequences. The United States is a country of 330 million people. Suppose an event is so unlikely it only has 1 in a billion chance of happening--it will happen once ever 4 days on average!

I think the issue people are rioting about is that it's not a 1 in a billion chance for everyone. It's more like 1 in a quintillion for a rich white person, and 1 in a million for a person of color. That inequality stems from systemic racism in the police force. What you're saying is that it would be less of a problem if the deaths were evenly distributed across the population. That may be true, but I don't think many people would suggest it as a viable solution to the problem.
I think the whole terminfo/termcap situation could be improved a lot. For one thing, most terminal emulators just report "xterm" or "xterm-256color" as the TERM environment variable, even though different terminals that report the same thing have different capabilities. A couple terminals, like alacritty and kitty, do ship with their own terminfo files, but that causes problems if you ssh to a box that doesn't have the terminfo file for that terminal.

They tried something similar with the do-not-track setting / header, but it was not backed by legislation so respecting it was purely optional, and a lot of companies opted to not respect it.

In theory that would've covered it, along with a setting on startup / a review notification every once in a while, but without the legislation backing it, it wasn't successful.
This probably isn't quite what you mean, but WRF (Weather Research and Forecast) model is an open source and actively developed weather forecast model you can run at home or on the cloud: https://www.mmm.ucar.edu/weather-research-and-forecasting-mo...

If you collect your own weather data at scale, you can write assimilation routines to get WRF to incorporate your data into the model runs along with NOAA/MADIS/etc-provided data.

I know that's more complicated than you are suggesting but it's worth mentioning.

There are a lot of simple ways to do home weather forecasting. You can write your own Dark Sky clone by downloading/scraping/APIing your local radar station and then write your own wind predictor a few hours into the future based on rain movement or simple statistics from recent local wind data.
If that’s what you want, here you go:

Since you tried to negotiate about the non-compete it should come as no surprise that there is a non-compete and you could reasonably expect it to be enforced. In fact since they signaled that they really want the non-compete, your expectation of it being enforced should go up.

I think you would be shocked how much an annuity costs that pays out starting at <50 years (like police or other workers with very strong unions get). One million dollars saved up might get an annuity of $30,000 per year.
Seriously.. it wouldn't be such an aggravating statement if people didn't actually believe it. (To state the obvious, the idea of the taxes is that the money is used to pay for the roads to get you to work, for the education that provides you and your employees the skills to work, and for all the other things that allow society to function so you can work. Yes, including helping people who are looking for work, so that the economy in which you work can function. It's not altruism - you're paying for the system which supports your job existing in the first place.)

One of the really interesting things about the ISS photos NASA publishes... They've been doing it for 20+ years now, so there's a lot of historical high res data to go through. Pretty much from the first days that high-quality fully digital SLR cameras were available in the early 2000s, NASA flew them to the ISS. Even the photos from 2001 are really crisp.

If you look carefully at the computers in the photos from 1999 onwards, you'll be able to see NASA's evolution through more than a dozen generations of Thinkpad laptops. I think they started with A20 / T20 models (600 MHz mobile Pentium 3) and went onwards from there. There's a number of photos where you'll see 5 or 6 thinkpads tilted at various angles clustered around one area to form a workstation.

Regarding your fourth line about pairing officers with volunteers, this happens in (some/all?) UK constabularies, for example: https://www.lancashire.police.uk/ridealong

On a related note, we also have volunteer Independent Monitoring Boards for prisons: https://www.gov.uk/volunteer-to-check-standards-in-prison

And voluntary magistrates' courts which try all cases first (although they pass serious ones on to the Crown Court): https://www.gov.uk/become-magistrate

And Patient Participation Groups for all GP practices: https://www.napp.org.uk/ppgintro.html

I don't know if any of these are also the case in the US, and the UK definitely has problems of its own, but it does seem to be leaps and bounds ahead in terms of citizen oversight and institutional transparency.

Are you sure they're not stores in contiguous memory? Q features a crazy number of optimizations for special cases. I would imagine a dense representation of rectangular nested lists is one of them. Q code uses flip (flips a list) and requires it to be rectangular. Moreover, I highly highly doubt column vectors are stored as a bunch of pointers to a single element list. I just can't imagine Whitney ever tolerating such obvious inefficiency.

Looking at the link, Q is only 10% slower for big matrices. I can't imagine this being possible without major optimization on q's part since lapack is insanely optimized.
I am not a Nastronaut, but I think NASA wold love this project; they’re keen to show off their work and engage with the public as much as possible.

Off topic, but last time I posted a link to upenn's online books page, it went unnoticed. Great resource IMO.
The Galaxy S4 had a hygrometer, 'ambient' thermometer, and barometer. Most phones have dropped the thermometer (too sensitive to temp fluctuations to make much sense, surface temps not that useful for weather prediction in urban areas, etc) and the hygrometer (waterproofing), but most have kept the barometer.

It's my long passion to 'activate' all the billions of barometers and use them in weather forecasting. There shouldn't really be much need to manufacture so many weather stations when so much can be done using already deployed hardware (smartphones).

I know IBM is doing assimilation of barometer data into their new models from Weather Underground app installs, and I suspect Apple may finally glance at using their iPhone barometers for weather forecasting now that they bought Dark Sky, but I also don't trust either group to make the results and research public and for the greater societal good - I expect Apple and IBM will mostly use their barometer tech for their own internal, private weather forecast systems.

I don't understand the anonymous claim.

Since in WebRTC peers connect directly to each other they'll see the IP of the other peer and can determine their locations.

Further there is the signalling server which may also see these connection details if it isn't end to end encrypted (I haven't checked the code).

IMHO private might be a better word than anonymous here.
