>they didn't become head of MI5

No, they saved that for MI6 and the CIA (well, not the heads of those organizations) where Kim Philby (MI6) and Aldrich Ames (CIA) leaked information about an extremely high portion of their operations back to Russia. Indeed, Ames exposed countless CIA operations and was directly responsible for at least 10 Russian executions of US spies. Then more recently there was Robert Hanson in the FBI who leaked an enormous amount of counter intelligence data along with other sensitive information.

So I really don't think it's accurate to imply the Russians didn't infiltrate these organizations at a pretty high level-- not the top spot maybe, but high enough to severely impair their efforts and cripple countless operations.
Yeah it sounds like an ideal setup for laptop!
Coding-inspired puzzle games appeal to quite a few people.

Zachtronics does some very good abstract ones. Quite a few of his games are even outright gamifying assembly programming. Things like factorio are on the more 'applied' or concrete end of the spectrum.

The author even mentioned how games designed to be educational are usually boring and not well received.
This might sound nuts, but I have settled on a three step process that mostly involves keeping most notes in my head.

Step 1 is using the method of loci (MoL) to memorize up to 30 things throughout the day. For context, MoL is a strategy where you visualize things you want to remember in a room. I have one "room" for each day of the month, with 10 spots in a room, and will often visualize up to 3 things in a spot (so 10 x 3 = 30 a day). I have 4 paths that each lead between 7 rooms, one path per week.

Step 2 is just keeping a page of notes per day in a planner. This is really helpful for jotting miscellaneous things down (like future things to read, possible connections).

Step 3 is that often as I'm thinking back over notes from step 1, or reading new things, I'll want to sort of "put it all together", or write up something that cuts across multiple days. There, I'll often refer to my planner, and might start a spreadsheet to keep references on.

I think the problem before was that I'd wanted to write useful longterm notes when first learning / studying something. But that's probably when I'm least qualified to take really insightful notes. It's been nice to let things marinade, and focus on keeping the "building blocks" around!

I'm really interested in the "Tea With Strangers" idea and looking forward to finding one, when lockdown is over, in the distant future.

Semi-related, lately I've been looking for resources on how to have better and deeper conversations. I wonder whether anyone has any books that they've found helpful. I come from a very sort of buttoned-down sort of people who have trouble moving beyond surface-level small talk, and I've been trying to find ways to get people (and myself) to be comfortable opening up in conversation.
In fact, the author even said games designed around education are usually boring or not well received.
What consistently gets missed in educational software is that it tries to teach rote memorization through gameplay rather than process. Games excel at teaching process quickly - learn by doing, learn by experiencing. And yet we have had 30+ years of crappy games about jumping on the right number to learn multiplication tables.

Games should supplement traditional education, not attempt to replace it. They should fill in the gaps and extend what can be taught. Teach the scientific method through a mystery game where you have to compound evidence to validate a theory (or better yet, invalidate it - equally valuable). Instead of math word problems have characters with problems you can solve using various methods - don't make the player do the math, train them to identify the right tool to use (a geometry problem, an algebra problem, a calculus problem).

Fill in those educational gaps that people only improve by stumbling in the dark.
"show me the code" people need to understand the other side: I used to be one. In practice, it simply means advance payment, and advance payment scams should make it clear why people are worried about it.

Just as maintainers do, contributors do not want to waste their time. If people talk, without code, about say dns-01 preferrable to http-01, that is because they aren't sure sending a patch to add dns-01 support without discussion would be merged. As an OpenBSD developer, you have such visibility and I believe you, but it is often very unclear to outside contributors whether something will be merged if implemented.

Saying "show me the code" to such discussion in practice is interpreted as "I am not sure whether we want this or not, but if you do the implementation, it is your timee wasted, not mine". The reason is, if you interpret it as "show me the code and you will be welcome", your guess is often wrong. After a couple of such experiences myself, these days I never do advance code payment. Always discussion first.

I get the idea, and have worked with people who hold that kind of opinion. But it's getting more and more untenable, if you want to have competitive products. It's the same why you generally just can't use leaded parts anymore - almost everything is surface mount.

ICs are doing so much more these days, that it would just take up too much space, or need whole extra boards to do what a tiny QFN part does. In terms of repair, even the individual transistors (of the few we use these days) are so small that field repair is extremely difficult - it's hard to replace them without a proper lab setup, so we mostly have spares of whole boards or modules for field repairs, and then send the faulty board back to the lab where somebody can repair it with a microscope, hot air rework station etc.

Multiple Leaks Suggest No New Hardware at WWDC
Just in the current protests there have been countless cases caught on camera where officers have:

* Put tape over their badge numbers (in "solidarity with those officers lost to covid-19")

* Literally put tape over their camera lenses - not turn it off, not "forget it", but put tape over it

* Collectively have groups of officers "forget" to wear them (on camera with the camera bracket present with no camera)

This is distinct from the usual cases where an officer is accused of excessive force and they "forgot to turn it on in the rush", "it mysteriously didn't record", "the recording was accidentally erased", "they weren't issued one at the time".

It is remarkable how often the cameras aren't present, or aren't functioning when an officer is accused of illegal behavior, but always seem to be present and working when the police need them as evidence of wrong doing.

I think that Linux is a security mess in its own ways.

That being said, I think Linux’s guts get far more attention than OpenBSD’s do, and that the (fewer) mitigations that Linux chooses to implement are much better supported by both information on real-world attacks and by the literature. Given that, I have a slight preference for Linux. But that shouldn’t be taken as praise.

Unfortunately, we are living in an era of "America First" where a vast segment of the population has no interest in engaging with or providing aid to the rest of the world.

Definitely changed my outlook on folks coming from the military.

That's so far from what exists now in the US, it's doubtful that it's an inherent factor in our government's dysfunction.

That only applies to genetic data. There are several ways for your insurer to find out everything wrong with you, especially when many medical practices sell your data. It does not cover any other type of insurance, other than health insurance. Genetic information can be used to discriminate in disability insurance, long-term care insurance, life insurance etc.

Having the auction time extend if any bid is put in the last few minutes, ensures it will settle on the highest price anyone is willing to pay, and the best result for the seller.

I wonder if eBay doesn't do this, because the "fun" of sniping and not knowing until the end whether you win, and occasionally losing (variable reinforcement), and the feeling of getting a bargain less than someone else might have paid when it works, all combine to make it more like gambling and more compelling to potential buyers?

I see it as a way of focusing the discussion. The numbers we could plug into it are mostly all wild guesses, but the exercise of plugging in different numbers can still be instructive.

For example, we now know there are a huge number of planets out there, and even planets in the habitable zone. Yet we haven't found any extraterrestrial life, so that suggests maybe the other factors are smaller than we initially would have guessed.
> You really want to use ... C/C++ for inference, not Python ...

> You need ... C/C++, not Python.

I think this is a red herring. Usually for deep learning you just use Python to plug together the libraries that actually do the processing, and those are written in terms of C/C++. You can see that in the article where the numpy array returned from OpenCV's video capture API is passed directly to tensorflow. Python never touches the individual pixels of the image directly, and once that's inside tensorflow it's irrelevant that a Python object briefly represented it.

> with a Jetson Xavier

Well that's obviously the real difference. It's not even just the same general type of computer but a bit faster - the Jetson has a decent NVidia GPU on board whereas the Raspberry Pi is doing the processing on its extremely limp CPU. Indeed that's the whole point of the Jetson; it's basically an NVidia graphics card with extra components strapped to it to turn it into a full computer.

> You really want to use DeepStream ... not TensorFlow

I'm not familiar with DeepStream, so I'm not so sure about this, but again this is unlikely to make a great deal of difference. It's certainly not the main factor at play here: that's definitely the Jetson's GPU, which of course TensorFlow can certainly use (via CUDA and CUDNN, as does DeepStream). It's true that using TensorRT can provide a speed boost on a Jetson, but even that's possible with TensorFlow, although admittedly you have to remember to call it specifically but it's just three or four lines of (Python!) code. There are already so many ways it's unavoidable to tie yourself into NVidia's ecosystem, it seems like a bad idea to tie yourself in further in a totally avoidable way like this.

[Edit: I just realised that the image is being streamed to a remote computer that's doing the inference. The general point remains though. The totally different architecture (including having to transfer data over the network) and hardware are the actual reason for the performance difference, while C/C++ vs Python and DeepStream vs TensorFlow are tiny details.]
My previous comment was merely an attempt to mention how participating in this flamewar leads nowhere. I'm certainly not about to get into it by discussing details of the good and the bad and even the necessity of compile time checks of whether a string is a url.

Hundreds of books have been written on the matter, and the results are still inconclusive.

> Is it my opinion though? Or did I pull it straight out of Building Secure and Reliably Systems, a book written by Google engineers to express industry best practice for developing software at a scale?

Yes and yes, you happen to share their opinion.

Now, should we pretend that appeals to authority turn an opinion into fact now? If so, to whose authority should we appeal? Theirs? The different google engineers who work in more dynamic languages? Hell, designers of dynamic languages who have worked at Google? The people who designed and work in LISP or any of its derivates? Whose authority weighs more?

Or maybe we should acknowledge that appeals to authority hold no real decisive value in deciding something like this, and instead contribute to studies trying to gauge how effective different type systems actually are.

There should be no need for your ACME client to have access to those private keys in the first place. That's what I'm highlighting.

If pledge works 100% in OpenBSD and if the acme-client C code is bug-free - neither of which is likely much less certain - then it's exactly as safe in this respect as a dozen other ACME clients using CSRs otherwise it's worse.
