Observations from a mid-career hybrid scientist communicator
I got the point, but sports and meetup events are closed due to COVID-19.
Are hardware breakpoints even possible on iOS?
And correct, you can't patch the binary because there many anti-tampering measures, you could probably bypass those, but that's going a different route.
How much energy is needed to manufacture a micro USB charging cable? I've had to throw more than half a dozen into the trash because they broke or got too loose.
In my experience, alcohol has no effect if taken mid-trip. Usually if I'm tripping I won't even notice the effects of alcohol at all; YMMV.
It might not need to be about technology, but biology, à la War Of The Worlds.

Whilst I doubt that (all of?) our viruses would have any effect on them (as they require our own cells to reproduce - aliens are unlikely to have a similar makeup), but things like funguses and bacteria could be very very bad for them.
That is just utter pain though. I’ve tried it and I am like NO THANKS! Windows software operates too poorly with Unix software due to different file paths (separators, mounting) and different line endings in text files.

With Mac all your regular Mac software integrates well with the Unix world. XCode is not going to screw up my line endings. I don’t have to keep track of whether I am checking out a file from a Unix or Windows environment.
True, but it is full of developers using Windows to deploy on Windows/Linux servers, with Java, .NET, Go, node, C++ and plenty of other OS agnostic runtimes.
It would still be possible though - it would be more like older movies, where you had to nail a shot in the take, post production was mostly cutting.

Cutting would still be more resource intensive anyways for this new tech, because you would have to evaluate if the scene works from all plausible angles.
I just try to do one day at a time. I put in my required 8 hours and hate my life for every minute of it. I look forward to signing off for the day and dream, unrealistically, of early retirement.
I still use a 2014 era Apple wireless keyboard and prefer it over any of the mechanical variants I’ve tried. Key travel distance is a personal metric.
Interesting. My X240 has had none of those issues so far, nor anything else significant, after six years of daily use. (I think the fan is running more and faster than when it was new, and the internal battery isn't in great shape anymore, but those are to be expected with age.)

If issues with T4x0 from recent-ish years are indeed common, I wonder if the builds are somehow different. I don't abuse my hardware but I haven't been super careful most of the time either.
Why BaseCamp and Hey.com Are Wrong About the Apple App Store
Sometimes looking for deals on craigslist. Every now and then you will see someone that doesn't know the value of what they're selling. In 2016, I was able to find a 15" MBP for only $750. The guy listed as a cracked laptop when it was a small 3 inch scratch near the corner of the screen, so no one reached out to him. It's hard to notice when the laptop is on even when you're looking at it. Probably the best purchase I ever made.
I'm really starting to think that the physical body (which contains the animal mind) is really just an advanced self-learning AI that improves itself by pattern recognition. And of course our consciousness (the self aware part) is what can steer this AI more precisely.

It's almost like a stubborn mule (your physical avatar) and a rider (your self aware consciousness).

The mule just wants instant gratification, while the rider wants to get up the mountain. So you have to work with the mule, by providing instant gratification that gets you both up the mountain.

I'm not sure if you've read much about neural plasticity - where behaviours get programmed into the brain like a trail path. The more the trail gets walked on (repetition), the deeper and more permanent it becomes.

But I don't think the animal mind understands logic that well, so you can program it through repetition, hence making it more "real".
I can see now where you are getting your idea but that's a quantitative measure only which does not consider quality of education. The reason that 1970s Europe was better educated than Brazil or Latin America today is because of the substandard education so many will get from public secondary school and that's where their education stops. Enrollment ratio in university also doesn't say much about graduation rates. What surprised me after living in Europe and that you will not find nearly as often in Latin America, is just how well educated someone is who only attended secondary school.

Your claim also included a question about why these countries are still poor. Brazil is not competing with the France of the 1970s.
I tried adding safetynet attestation on launch for all Android clients and ran into rate limit pretty fast. (iirc it's about 10k/hr)

Devicecheck have no such problem though, but it doesn't really feel designed for the use case - you need to implement an anti replay system yourself.

When a bug or a mistake wipes irremediably many days of work, you need that kind of perseverance.
The first one really is key here. Exhibit A is "stablecoin" Tether, which has more red flags than a Kremlin May Day parade and steadfastly refuses to get audited, but has nevertheless been puttering away for several years now. When will the penny drop?

It does check for a debugger. But that would be through sysctl, or the csops sys call, which would be trivial to patch and a single point of failure.
Loved the Zachtronics games, but at a certain point they hit the issue with becoming 5+ h investments into a single problem, and cross the boundary to tediousness.

Only fully finished exapunks, which somehow didn’t scale as harshly wrt time investment.

After looking more into these a month or two back, it seems like they’re very hit or miss with people, and only manage a smaller impact in terms of people playing them.
It's easy to miss that the article is published under the same username as the one described as an "anonymous source", in, for example "... Wirecard desperately wanted to know who this memyselfandi007 was to sue the shxx out of him, but the police didn’t pass on the real identity."
Show HN: Switchboard – A mDNS based reverse proxy for personal infrastructure
The article mentioned about the WinARM twice failure. I wonder as Apple is actually a Windows OEM, have they tried that and learnt from that experience and learn from that as well.

Further, would the AppleArm run BootCamp? What happen to thunderbolt, given it is ok now from Intel to use it (but in ARM)? Is Office compatibility still important to Apple and if so have Microsoft Apple product teams are already testing ARM version of Office on both WinArm and AppleArm? (Given that some small subset did run on iPad Pro, or even iPhone).

But unlike Windows, Apple has successful twice and given it can ignore our call for CUDA compatibility and worry about future Premiere/Adobe ... They would move. And we will move as well. Just not sure where we move to.

Sorry lots of questions. And the impact to Intel ... it is a side show and side issue. Games on.
How do you avoid getting audited for several years ?
This thread is about web or network service APIs, which, thanks to the CFAA, have broad leeway to dictate what client software you are legally allowed to use to speak to it. It's a grey area and some real bullshit, IMO.

You are talking about programmatic APIs, which is a horse of a different color: a copyright issue, which is still being figured out.

It's annoying that we overload the same term for both things.
Is it really "shadow IT" if they got approval from the VP with credit card attached? Seems like they're officially accredited to do the work.
South Park had an episode where it was revealed that Dick Cheney and other Bush II administration officials were behind a conspiracy to promote 9/11 inside job conspiracy theories in order to convince the world they were actually competent enough to pull such a thing off.
It surprises me that standard form contracts are not more common in other industries, as they are very common in construction, in the UK at least. You literally buy a copy of the contract, fill in the blanks and there are endless textbooks explaining in painful detail how they work and a lot of caselaw going back >75 years for how the terms are interpreted.
There is a video of the video pipeline framework of NVidia that might give a hint of what is possible. Nano has h264 encoders and decoders that can feed 8 simultaneous 720px streams.

I presume that this is through ethernet or flash, but might not be applicable to CSI, since CSI port/lane count seems to lowish. Never tried it though.

If your ideas are so effective, why can't you compete you against the many private schools already in existence?
First, I'd stop trying to make him draw - not everyone draws out their systems to think them through. I'd ask him to think about the most complex process he had in his prior role, and teach it to you - pay attention to how he is teaching it. Is he drawing it? Talking about it? Writing it down in a flowchart? With bullet points?

Next, ask him to add a new piece of work into that process, and see how he approaches it.

Finally, whatever he does, use the techniques he used to describe his old work to help him envision your code.

It is far easier to adapt pre-existing ways of thinking and working to a new topic than to ask someone to tear down years of habits and rebuild from scratch.

How Startups Can Address Stress Before It Becomes an Issue
That guy gets it
I am more familiar with the basic research phase but in my experience very few groups actually treat model choices as an engineering tradeoff. Labs usually write grants centered around whatever model organism(s) the lab is already used to, and it's rare to see a proposal that doesn't use one of a few "accepted" models. I've never seen anyone sit down and have a discussion at the proposal stage about this, to actually seriously consider alternative setups or even just acknowledge why they are choosing this same mouse again. The tradeoff defense comes after the fact, and really only if someone else brings it up.

I think it is in part a symptom of the cost of research causing labs to be centered moreso around a methodology than a question. Having some labs like this isn't a problem, but when an entire field starts to trend this way, and almost everything that gets funding chooses a particular side of a tradeoff (that isn't super well quantified to begin with), then I think we could end up missing a lot.
This is incredible. I don’t think people grok how momentous this is. We can transition to a better internet with this. Wow. Thank you.
I use the portal and I like it a lot. I can see why older people would love it too. The UI is simple - large buttons to call each contact and once you're in the call, a red button to end the call. There is a hardware button to disable audio and camera, if necessary. Elderly users don't need to worry about charging because it's plugged in. They don't need to worry about focussing the camera to their face because it does it automatically.

Side note - camera quality is good. I've had multiple friends comment about how my video is much better than the other folks in the call.

MS Office is ported, but it's a hybrid (CHPE). The executable looks to be x86 when examined in Properties, but if you look at the contents of the file on disk you'll find Arm code as well as x86.

MS did it this way so that any x86 extensions can continue to be run under emulation whilst the bulk of the application can run natively, according to: https://uk.pcmag.com/news-analysis/92340/microsoft-explains-...
Their user case seems a bit weird to me. If a new application is deployed, can you not make changes to the nginx config locally and redeploy it? That way everyone has access and it'll be part of the usual merge request -> review -> merge flow.

If anything this tool makes editing easier and may lead to more misconfiguration.
99% of companies should have a platform team, whose role is to make services from AWS/Google/Azure available internally and easy to use.
I've unsuccessfully dabbled in gstreamer in the past. I was doing a project this weekend, and the comments on this thread motivated to give it another shot .. after a couple of hours (2-4ish?), I was able to get video off the Pi to my desktop (on the same LAN) but the performance was pretty bad. I didn't optimize much yet but let me summarize the key issues I experienced with gstreamer these last few hours:

1) Very little documentation; poorly explained pipelines. I tried to read what docs I could find but things quickly devolved into trying out random gstreamer pipelines posted in comments. People don't explain why they use one particular element over another. So it felt like whack-a-mole.

2) Installing gstreamer on the Pi was a breeze. I wanted to pull video off the connected camera and sent to VLC on my desktop. Sounded like something that would work out-of-the-box? Nope. Kept seeing lots of stackoverflow comments of people stabbing in the dark, getting errors (or have the thing just sit there and not work) with very little feedback on what was wrong.

3) I have very little indication of what is hardware and what is software accelerated in my pipeline. I have no idea where latency is coming into my pipeline.

Overall .. my modern expectation for software frameworks is "batteries included" .. it is totally reasonable for sophisticated software tools to be complex .. but gstreamer is just not designed that way. While I got it to work, I see massive latency (likely because my pipeline is inefficient) and degraded quality (no idea why).
As a cryptocurrency? You just decide not to get audited.
That's interesting, pretty similar to this in a way.

All I know personally is that through repetition, behaviours/habits become more ingrained into your identity.

It could be something to do with neural pathways getting 'deeper' the more a certain behaviour is repeated?

Anecdotally, this method has worked well for me for a bunch of habits (like social media addiction, exercise, diet etc.) for a 2-3 months now.

Definitely recommend grabbing a pen and paper and giving it a try for 10 minutes with a habit you want to change!
That was very interesting, I like that it mentioned conspiracy theories without giving them credence.

I remember MH370 as the moment I realized that the ocean was wilderness. While the search was underway, my coworkers and I spent quite a bit of time guessing what could have happened. Quite a few of us assumed that the resources of the various governments involved surely would recover something fairly quickly. That is until we saw video of the Indian ocean, it was immediately clear that if they did find anything it would be luck.
From my experience a fraud is easy to spot with a keen eye. But persuading the public that hot company is a fraud - different matter.
Residual Current Device - a circuit breaker that opens a circuit when too much current is not returned via neutral, implying leakage to earth. They “trip” too and with the similarity to LSD, a TLA ending in D! I couldn’t resist the joke.
This take is naturalizing and ignorant of history, for example, urban renewal.
I'm no expert, but I think what happens is you shop around for an auditor but you somehow can never find one who will sign off on the audit, because they need you to produce some docs that you don't have.
+1 on this. Started to get contacted on linkedin and finding job postings for platform engineering last year. I have a strong feeling this could be the next buzzword of the 2020 decade.
'No evidence has yet been found' has an empasis on 'yet' and suggests this may change.
K3 civs in these galaxies are ruled out are they not? The result you mention is sobering and fairly suggestive we are alone.
Yeah marketing something widely known to make it palatable and "provide liability" isn't new. See e.g. Scott Alexander's piece on literal fish oil: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/06/15/fish-now-by-prescripti...
In the project I used zeromq, we were not using external IP cameras. My experience with IP cameras is still full of some seconds of latency .. I have no idea why.
One thing the author doesn't discuss is that the Boom objects themselves are also in memory, and also have to be accessed -- and can therefore also be visited not in memory order, and cause cache misses.

Changing this to a "structure of arrays" approach, with the x value inline in the array, reduces the runtime by another order of magnitude:

const arr_x = new Array(ROWS * COLS).fill(0);

function doSoA() {
for (let i = 0; i < ROWS; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < COLS; j++) {
arr_x[i * ROWS + j] = 0;
}
}
}

1. The fact that the humidity is often too low where I am at. I got a humidifier. Before using this thing I had dry nostrils, but never paid attention to it. Now it’s better.

2. The way cooking affects pm2.5. I don’t have great ventilation in the kitchen, so I started ventilating via windows for a better air quality at home. I do not feel effects of this though.

3. How fast the CO2 levels are rising with closed windows. Since my childhood it was regular in my family to sleep with windows closed, and ventilate maybe couple of times per day. And in the summer time the windows were closed when the air was cooled with a conditioner.

It turns out, that in an hour with closed windows the CO2 level is already higher than what is considered healthy. Nowadays it seems like I can say when room needs ventilation without a sensor, just cause I feel the air is not "nutritious" enough. I do feel worse (tired, slight headache) when not ventilating.
We have only covered ~200ly with radio waves. That is a small spot in our galaxy, let alone universe. The core is ~25.000ly away. I think the original signal would be highly distorted by then. I still think seti@home was worth it, but it cannot answer the question about alien life negatively if it doesn't net a positive result.
Yeah, his book (How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big) is also great on this topic.

He talks about how he changed bad habits/implemented new ones. But also on using affirmations for bigger goals. Very interesting book.
The idea that bitcode will allow porting from x86 to ARM was dispelled by non other than Chris Lattner himself during an interview on ATP.

https://atp.fm/205-chris-lattner-interview-transcript#bitcod...

John Siracusa: The same thing I would assume for architecture changes, especially if there was an endian difference, because endianness is visible from the C world, so you can’t target different endianness?

Chris Lattner: Yep. It’s not something that magically solves all portability problems, but it is very useful for specific problems that Apple’s faced in the past.
It's quite clear you're confidently commenting without having watched any of the multiple videos available.

He was passed out in his car in the drive thru lane. Did you even watch any of the videos? He was not cognizant for most of the video.

"This is not my hat": https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Not-Hat-Jon-Klassen/dp/1406353...

The humour is subversive, the illustration is lovely, and these ("This is not my hat" is another) are great books for younger children. My child loved it, and the people I've given this to have gone on to buy other books by the writer or illustrator.

"Mr Birdsnest and the House Next Door": https://www.amazon.co.uk/Birdsnest-House-Next-Door-Little/dp...

Little Gems are a set of books printed on reduced contrast paper, with a large clear font. They're short, simple, but fun. They're good for younger readers or for slightly older reluctant readers. My child enjoyed reading this book, and loved the illustration. The other child I gave this to took out other books in the Little Gems series from the library, and bought other Julia Donaldson books with her pocket money.

"Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" https://www.amazon.co.uk/Code-Language-Computer-Hardware-Sof... I had a friend who knew a lot about the software, and knew a lot about hardware but their hardware knowledge was a bit patchy. Code helped solidify their knowledge. If I could have afforded it I would have given them The Art of Electronics and the companion Student Manual. (This was in the 1990s. I haven't read the new version and I don't know how well it works today.)

"Bomber Command" https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bomber-Command-Pan-Military-Classic... I liked this book because it describes how we (the UK) went into world war 2 with ethical notions around not bombing civilian populations and ended up fire-bombing several heavily populated German cities. It's also eye-opening about the scale of this part of the war, and the cost in lives of aircrew.
That's a good point, I usually try to teach others to understand my reasoning, so I'll definitely try this approach and see how it goes.
Totally agreed; try to do that for C++ before Java is popular. The maintenance guy would love you for the saving of time.

Optimise after. BTW, I thought it is about memory leak which is seriously not performance tuning!
> In 2019, the boss of the supervisory board hired KPMG mainly to independently confirm that everything is splendid at Wirecard (E&Y is the auditor of Wirecard).

So, will anything happen to E&Y, or do they just get to say "we didn't know that was fraudulent, we just did what we got paid to do"?
