This is a bit saddening to read your take on this guide.

The goal is specifically to make the GDPR less daunting and more accessible! I guess it missed the mark.

But yeah, the GDPR has to formalize a lot of common sense practices, if you don't consider your user as "data trove" you want to abuse, you will be mostly ok!

I'd expect the FBI to be better at it than 4chan though.
IMO, at least for linux, popular (open source) extensions should be part of the distribution.
The only trustworthy extensions are uBlock Origin and EFF's Privacy Badger. Everything else is best viewed as potential malware, no different than random downloadable executables.

Honestly, uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are so important at this point they should just become part of the browser itself. They're already in a league of their own.
I think what you're getting at is that arrays are not really first-class objects in C. Rather it just gives you a bit of syntactic sugar to do the same thing that you could do with pointers anyway. But it's up to the programmer to complete the abstraction.

I recently started using Linux some on the same 4K monitor I usually have my Mac connected to. I was shocked at how much sharper and easier to read the text was on Linux.
We found a way to organize large SQL decomposing them in smaller chunks and organize those chunks like in a "jupiter notebook" so you also see results for intermediate results, an example:

So would I, but the world is, thankfully, not entirely composed of software projects.
This is an apples to oranges comparison. DNS requests exfiltrate data such as IP and the domain you want to visit. Currently extensions can literally upload all your passwords if they wish to. Restricting them to be able to only GET whitelisted URLs (no query params or paramterized URLs) would cut down on pretty much 99.999% of possible data theft scenarios.
I trust both of these extensions far more as extensions than I would if they were part of Chrome.
The original filing was for reachability down to 40 degrees above the horizon. When they lowered the altitude from 1100 km to 550km, they reduced the angle to 25 degrees above the horizon for the first phase.
His fund family actually publishes equity index forecasts in its research library [1].

That means you can evaluate the efficacy of his research team's forecasts over time.

I happen to think he is correct, but process matters. How has the process held up over time?

> in practice you just have to click an annoying number of accept buttons.

That's because those sites want to track you, for profit, and they usually want to confuse you into agreeing in the weakest way possible.

These popups are entirely unnecessary, if sites would just stop tracking you and allowing third parties to track you.
You are getting it backwards, it seems. Instead of having dapp developers waiting for some uncertain capacity to show up and then develop the applications, what we have is people developing dapps at the current technology and finding ways to optimize it to make them practical given current constraints.

Decentralized exchanges, games, management of NFT, all that already exist. They are just really impractical/expensive to do on the blockchain, and layer 2 solutions are starting to come already to tackle that. It makes no sense for everyone to wait for every quantum leap in TPS capacity. "Worse is better" have always won.

Unless, of course, your definition of "winning" necessarily goes through the adoption of a blockchain that can not do much else besides transferring its one specific currency. ;)

If people are getting BCH to convert straight to fiat and/or buy food, is it really a fair comparison with an alternative that is creating its own economy?
Sounds like a hassle. You might as well run it on a separate computer, at least you will be able to use them at the same time. I would prefer better app isolation so I can run everything with the same user, but still hold the apps accountable for what they are doing. OS’s have been designed when the computing paradigm was “computer as large as a building shared by 20 people that write their own software”. That paradigm has changed and the application landscape makes it that we have to use apps from people we don’t know and we can’t reach. We have to make their apps accountable.
> Speaking of unit testing, at the beginning of 2020 we can see 34% of C++ developers don’t write unit tests

That's just sad.
Does it solve a problem you have?

My longest-running projects are all in active use. I maintain them because they are useful to me, and update them to fit my needs.

It's a lot harder to maintain something for an imaginary customer.

How to Market Your Writing
A Review of QEMU 5.0
Very unlikely you can actually. It is kinda similar to why we cannot have the source of binary even if we know how the compiler works.
One thing extensions commonly do is modify the page. If an extension can modify the page, it can insert an <img> which will cause a network request to happen. How do you plan to prevent this? Prevent extensions from modifying the page?

That is a great comparison. I love Jabberwocky, but you can't read an entire book in that style. Yet Joyce apparently did write that book.

I've never read Joyce, but based on these couple of lines I think I understand Wells' letter. It's magnificent to be able to write like that, but please keep it short. Nobody can withstand that for more than a page or two.
Isn't that more a question of how repeatable the process is?
Against my better judgment, I got a few paragraphs into this and came out still with very little idea of what it was all about. You'd get more sense out of The Green Book.

"Suburb" is such a broad term so difficult to compare what it means.

Your description sounds the exact opposite of suburb to my experience.

A suburb area is optimal for young kids as they can go everywhere. Parks, playgrounds, forest trails, movie theaters, everything is within a 10 minute walk or 3-5 minute bike ride. That's what the suburb experience means to me and the life we live right now.

In a city (SF/NYC) I couldn't possibly let my <10yr old go anywhere without extreme supervision given the crime, drugs, abusive cops, prostitution, crazy homeless, etc in every corner.
You are correct. Most fruit trees are produced vegatatively by grafting from a proven cultivar.

The naturally pollinated ovule of each resultant seed will inherit characteristics of both parents thus giving a practically certain likelihood of an inedible/undesirable fruit.
> Potentially dumb question here, but would it be generally possible to create a permissions system for browser extensions that can distinguish between an extension that is actually sending information based on sensitive sources like page content and browser history and an extension that only sends harmless stuff over the network like e.g. asking for updated ad block lists?

An invasive but effective strategy would be Javascript string/object tagging, where objects and strings derived from identifying API accesses are marked as dirty, and attempting to serialise these into requests or URLs triggers a permissions check. This would also give the option of replacing numbers and strings with junk data if the permission is denied, which seems pretty attractive.

Given the massive scope of a change like this, I don't expect it to happen, but it's nice to think of a world where any website or extension that attempts to exfiltrate data will be noticed by default.
I love that my it departement has turned off password saving, citing security concerns. But there is no problem in downloading any and all extensions.
You omitted the other half of the delusion sentence. The fact is that Joyce wasn't personally oppressed, and Wells wasn't personally responsible. The delusion implied is that they were somehow personally oppressed/responsible by virtue of their cultural situation. Very relevant indeed to modern sensibilities.
> Emacs is a TUI too

That's an alternative way of using it. And half the things you have in GUI mode stop working.

> Vim is a GUI too

Are you speaking about GVim? That's still really a terminal with Vim launched. You still can't have e.g. headings in documents rendered at a different font size than the rest of the content. You still have to deal with the nonsense of patched fonts to get nice-looking arrows with powerline. Sounds like TUI to me.
The reason it varies wildly is that the hardware and possible settings supported varies wildly on a DIY PC. A few things I noticed a few years ago while troubleshooting slow POST:

- Having a HDD connected to the additional SATA ports provided by an onboard controller (not the chipset) incurred a delay because the controller was initialized later (slower?), the HDD would power up later, and the POST sequence wouldn't finish until the HDD finished spinning up. Checking SMART on boot just made it worse.

- Switching between the 2 GPUs I had available at the time (one Nvidia, one AMD) consistently made a couple of seconds of difference.

- Using XMP made POST much slower too (don't remember by how much).

- Updating the FW on my SSD shaved a bit of time.

- Devices connected to USB during post also increased POST time.

And as a side note, my cheaper, simpler mobos would always POST faster. Gaming/OC mobos these days are loaded and it all adds up to what the PC has to do to initialize in POST.

Bottom line is it's easier to optimize for short POST when your config is locked in place (like a phone) then on a machine that could have any number of possible permutations of hardware and settings. Today that's x86.
The low-frequency operation means this will be quite low, and below the 250kHz lower threshold that most EMI testing cares about.

I have seen that "infection level off after 10-20%" multiple times.

It is simply not true. Some areas level off at 1-2%, some at 5%, 10, 20% or whatever else. It all depends on when strong social distancing measures were taken.

There were only a few places such as NYC or Bergamo, where measures were taken too late and infections went over 20%.
I agree that this is how most legislation does work: dream up something that would be great and ignore the facts on the ground and live with a predictable shitshow of implementations.

To me it's a stretch to say legislation ought to work like this.

Many of the "outlier good ideas" in legislation are those that integrate the facts on the ground and consider e.g. implementation complexity.

Lattices are also ordered (by intellectual descent) with respect to early explorations in philosophy, such as using transitivity on "Socrates is a man" and "All men are mortal".

Without lattices, we would never have had the ambiguous phrase "computer scientists commonly choose models which have bottoms, but prefer them topless" occurring in a serious textbook.

Edit: agreed, intellectual descent is only partially ordered, but the interval between aristotle's example syllogism and lattices contains a chain. Guess I should've said "also comparable (by."
Would it be useful to consider code diffs as additions and subtractions from code base, and then implement source versioning using lattice structure?
'Actually it is due to speed of light delays. Distance is something that exists everywhere.'

Your weird pedantic distinction doesn't make a difference. They're synonyms in this context. Obviously the difference is how much you have, everyone knows that.
WWDC Together – watch and discuss WWDC together
I think of it this way: Ulysses is tough but penetrable; experts understand it and if you go through it slowly with a guide then so will you. With Finnegans Wake, even the experts only understood parts of it, so you might enjoy puzzling it out but shouldn't expect to be able to understand it at all.

(Have read the former and not the latter.)

It's extremely annoying that Israel the country has found a way to exploit the shady shit they do as a country, like these disgusting security exploits they export all over the world , and the support the Jewish global community got from other countries after the genocide of world war two into turning any criticism of the country into anti-Semitism.

As an American I feel Israel is only an ally like Saudi Arabia is an ally in that it's a country doing terrible shit I disagree with that dislikes other countries politicians I dislike hate.

It's still true. A pigeon can easily carry 10 microSD cards, 1TB each. Even if you're on a gigabit connection, it will take you over 22 hours to copy 10TB.

If i personally struggle with my mental image of being smart enough to study and i want to but i cant because my grades are shit and i take ritalin and suddenly i can go to university, my life is better of.

What/how do you define 'abused them'?
A related blog post calls this the Copenhagen interpretation of ethics (your ethical burden increases by interacting with the problem in any way, even positively): https://blog.jaibot.com/the-copenhagen-interpretation-of-eth...

There are also other analogies:

At work, if you touch something, you are now eternally responsible for maintaining it. Be it code or process or equipment. Changed the toner in the printer? Great, you can now do it all the time. "But you already know how to do it, it will just take a minute for you".
The best tactic at work is to be really competent in the main job and push all energy into furthering the skills and experience and recognition in that and dodging all the crap work by appearing badly suited to them. You want your colleagues to say "ah he's a good guy, really competent, but this type of work is really not his kind, he'd forget it, mess it up or something". Basically the goofy distracted professor meme. Great at focusing on his specialty we pay him for but cannot be tasked with these everyday mundane shit tasks.

On a larger scale, big tribal feuds are often among groups with small differences, like Christian denominations and wars over dogmatic debates on the details.
Be careful with WITH clauses in Postgres though. Prior to Postgres 12, the engine always materialized queries inside the WITH clauses, even when its unnecessary. This can lead to certain queries being orders of magnitude slower than normal if written with a WITH clause.
As someone implementing data pipelines & doing enterprise integration (along with web work), I massively disagree.

GDPR is the best "needle mover" in terms of "we don't care about xyz" in the last 15 years.

In a meeting, even as an external contractor, you can now much more easily highlight privacy/security issues without being told that you are "too caring", and it will actually have an impact (because there is a widely known law & control body).
I wouldn't say its just temprary.

I'm not taking ritalin every day anymore. I did that when i was going to school etc. and i do still see habits/behaviours i got through ritalin.

Stuff like cleaning up everything and reorganizing it.
GDPR is a pretty big thing. Cookies, and cookie consents is a tiny tiny bit of it.

If there is an annoying popup on a website it's not compliant. E.g. if you need to switch OFF multiple accept switches, then it's blatantly in violation (default must be off). I have no idea why sites would even bother putting up a noncompliant GDPR popup instead of just ignoring it.
WebSharper does also something similar -> https://developers.websharper.com/docs/v4.x/fs/remoting

Are there similar ideas/libraries implemented in JS/TS as well?

I am quite drawn by these ideas, as they remove some overhead in making a fronted+backed application and somewhat bridge the productivity gap between a SSR solution such as Django or Rails, and a traditional server API + front end by allowing a fully integrated development and automatic but safe API generation
> At this point, such hopes look unrealistic. After months of intense research, an effective treatment for COVID-19 still does not exist. A vaccine is, even if we get lucky, many months away from deployment.

I've been saying this for months.

Mother Nature won in the US, as it has in every previous pandemic.

We can choose how partial lockdown is sequenced, but we need to get to herd immunity sooner than later.

We've never had a vaccine or cure for the cold (a coronavirus), and there's no guarantee we'll find one for covid-19.
Hope it's not off-topic: what I still don't understand is how with regulations like this an OS like Windows can get away with the things it does. I mean, maybe there's some legal reason, but my common sense can't process it.
I prefer text to speech than LibriVox I listened to a few books, the only audio books I can listen with a narrator is when he is really professional otherwise TTS.

But for what we know, they didn't have direct access, they made requests to the companies.

"Sources challenge reports alleging National Security Agency is 'tapping directly into the central servers.' Instead, they say, the spy agency is obtaining orders under process created by Congress."

Which makes sense.

Why pay the cost for a huge and complicated setup when a cheap piece of paper can do the job, and the gag order make it as secret?
In general, you should not expect that growing a fruit seed will yield a plant with similar fruits (if it will grow at all): Most of the fruits we enjoy are carefully bred for good sugar/acid balance, and offspring will mostly be quite different.
In addition, most fruit trees are grafted onto stems of other varieties to get better root characteristics.

The nicest counterexample I know of is the danish apple "Filippa", which is a rather acidic apple that stores well (I usually eat my last Filippas early March): This variety can grow from seed and be left on its own root.

Do you really believe this is even vaguely close to true?

To a first approximation, _nobody_ "goes to doubleclick themselves".

At the same time, back in 2016 a study at Princeton found almost 50% of all sites on the web had Doubleclick on them (this is separate to the 70% of sites running Google Analytics - and I'd bet there's approximately zero sites that serve doubleclick ads/trackers but not google analytics ones, so there's even less way to spin this as being a necessary way for google to "understand experiments" by whitelisting the doubleclick domain...).

I never "go to doubleclick". My browser "sneakily in the background goes to double click" while I browse about half the sites on the internet.

"It's extra data attached to requests you were already making." is technically true, and gaslighting at it's most brazen.

If you asked your mom how many times she made a went to doubleclick today, what would she say? What would the actual answer be if we wanted to use the tortured terminology of "requests she was already making to doubleclick" from your apologia about your employer up there?

You took me to task for calling you a stooge and that being "against HN policy" elsewhere in this discussion...(Well, I said "stooge", you accused me of saying "shill", but whatever.) I guess I apologise for using the term "stooge" for someone who's told us they work at google and are telling lies about how Chrome is sending unexpected tracking data to Doubleclick. But it seems very much the right term.

How about instead I say that your statement "If you never go to doubleclick yourself, chrome won't ever send data to it." is a brazen lie, wrapped up in a weasel-wordy disingenuous interpretation of what 99.99% of people would clearly understand "go to doubleclick yourself" to mean?

I'll leave this argument now, with a quote for you and all googlers:

Based on the article, it looks like a poor man's decent option is a 1440p monitor at 60Hz that is running at 1:1 scaling.

Benefits:
* Cheap-ish
* Reasonable resolution with crisp text
* Small difference between 60 and 120Hz

Drawbacks:
* If you want crisp text and reasonable real estate, forget any other resolution than 1440p. It just won't align with the physical pixels and will look horrible.

I'd love to get a 4k monitor at some point, at least that would give me the scaling option in MacOS (1440p doesn't), but if I want really crisp text I have to render the equivalent of 1080, which isn't that much real estate for something like IntelliJ.
It’s really problematic. For a specific example, let’s look at Barrie’s Peter and Wendy. It was published in 1911, so is well below the current 1925 barrier in the US. In most countries he falls into the 70-years-after-death PD boundary, and in Mexico with their 90-years-after-death it’s fast approaching the PD date. But in the UK there’s a specific exception built into law that it’ll never go into the public domain: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/301
