To expound a bit on what others are saying, I definitely have this visualization ability, and it isn't limited to sight, I have the same thing for all my senses. The way I've described it to other people is that I can emulate any sensation internally, it's just that it's a muted or foggy version of it. If it was 100% accurate, I think that would start to cause issues with your brain's ability to distinguish with what's real and what's "in your head".

The example I always give people is that when deciding what to eat and looking at things in the cabinet, or the fridge, or deciding where to pickup food, I just mentally "taste" each thing, and it really does feel like I have the sensation of eating that thing, and I decide based on which one tastes the best in that moment.
What are the difference with Mithril.js? Both seems to embrace the same philosophy in almost the same way. Or am I missing something?

For me - I can draw as much as I can visualize. That is, I know that a face is bisected sphere with some extra lines on the bottom for the chin. I can't hold this image clearly, but I can hold it for a fraction of a second - enough to know what to put on paper. I think drawing and visualization are pretty closely tied.
I've never heard of someone successfully and unintentionally fat fingering a Bitcoin address typo to a valid Bitcoin address nobody owns. Fee box is a different thing, the recent $2.5m ETH headline you saw was not an accident but an attack/blackmail. Bitcoin core itself prevents you from using too high of a fee without an express override in the config.

When the "Zoom bombing" trend hit the news, I expected that would be the beginning of the end for the company. They were having security issues due to an integral part of their platform's implementation at the same time that they were seeing an unprecedented increase in usage. Scaling and essentially rearchitecting at the same time, under load, is a huge challenge.

I'm very impressed that they've pulled through. If anything, Zoom has improved during the transition. That's not to say that I find it to be the best solution - I've had several videoconferencing/telepresence solutions work well for me in the past - but it's certainly "good enough" and they're in an enviable market position at this point.

In a few months, I'd love to see some retrospectives come out about how they did it from both the engineering and management perspectives.
A regular page load will block and show a blank screen until all of the style tags, script tags, etc. have been fetched. Replacing the body does take a few ms to paint, but does not need to wait on any other fetches.

Of course there are techniques to improve page load time without turbolinks (using async script tags for example), but turbolinks predates many of those.
Like a 3D CAD or in Blender. Add or remove details. A circle could be a bouncy wire that has a shiny surface, or made of wood or plastic. They could rotate in the air, or running on a floor making a circle after being dropped. It could bend and get twisted it into a figure 8. I am writing this while imagining it, and I have no real ring-shaped object at hand.
“The difference between one million dollars and a billion dollars is about one billion dollars.“

1k transactions and even 1k * 1k transactions are so small relative to this amount that the GP’s point still stands. This is not a very useful way of storing the value.

You're describing pseudonymity, not anonymity. We know that a specific user has moved money under a pseudonym. If they do other things with that money, we'll learn more. These are very different concepts.

For small networks it's often a win to stay on chip at least on the power side. But if you do need to go off chip for memory it's hard to beat the memory bandwidth you have on a GPU.
My "non-professional in the field" opinion of this at first glance is that this seems like a concept ripe for abuse and security holes (not to mention scam potential) trying to be a successor to something that was already pretty bad in that regard...

This would be better if it was designed with the end user in mind from the get go and in full control of defining portals himself. (and by that I mean, if you take the example linked by omneity [1], I should be the one defining which "shopping cart" i'm sending the recipe ingredients to or which social app is triggered and what data am I sending it).

For some reason this also gives me some "Fuschia OS" vibes [2] or at least how Google would want to have this as standard on the web...

Very long article that could be summarized in one phrase: do what customer needs, not what he asks for. Not listening to what customer wants and treating him like user instead is sure way to produce unneeded software.

The main problem in industry is not suboptimal badly designed software. The main problem is amount of outright failed projects. Not delivered or with zero adoption and zero deployment.

Arrogance in ignoring real-world pencil experience of our customers, inability to extract that experience is often the reason why software project fails.
The ship has sailed for bitcoin as an everyday currency and it has turned more into a store of value than a currency. However, the crypto world is diverse, still infant, and has many applications beyond currency. Look at IPFS (libp2p, IPLD, Multiformats); it’s open source free software that allows user to view content without it being censored.

Filecoin (the currency) exists on top but is completely independent and unnecessary to make use of the underlying utility of IPFS.

While bitcoin is a bit of a monolith even it has utility beyond currency as you can write information along with your transactions. An example is [ION][1] an identity service pegging state to transactions wiring to the blockchain and so long as bitcoin holds value you can have high certainty this information will not go away or be modified.

There are trade-offs to everything but often the benefit of crypto projects is lost when they’re viewed as currency rather than utility. Look at the forest not the trees.

I meant basically all the stuff the other three comments said :)
Yes, these are very good points, all true, thanks.

I still think that while this monolith has its drawbacks, the fact that any component can be substituted as long as it confirms to the official API is really powerful. For example k3s uses sqlite instead of etcd.

Having small components that do one thing well (Unix philosophy) is certainly one way to go (I still haven't found somebody who doesn't love Hashicorp tooling, myself included) but the k8s idea of having one (big, possibly bloated for many cases) "standard" way of doing things while being customizable/extensible is really powerful. If Hashi came up with some (extendible) glue/package tooling then a lot of people doing/looking at k8s right now will seriously look at them (myself included).
> What do you see being some benefits over the older tech?

Think of a remote-first collaboration arrangement. In such scenario the concentrated communications become vital for collaboration efficiency.

'Old' approaches could work too, emails can be typed and sent with a right set of CC, also IRC can be set up for chats, teams can roll their own messaging tool of choice.

It's all about policies and consistency in adhering to them. When these features are devised together as part of a tool, it offers to a client those policies out of box. Thus, feature planning or collaborating on a merge request becomes more transparent, perhaps more real-time, when the tool supports the 'social' features.

Just a feature as simple as "@user" mention notifications may promote the level of collaboration.
Yes, but Linux also have a number of security mechanisms to limit access to syscalls (e.g. seccomp).
Agreed! I was part of a product team that build Sococo Teamspace, including a video chat that allowed interruption. Everybody could talk at once, and still hear everyone else. It made an amazing difference.
Publishing the value and timing of specific transactions isn't actually the point of Bitcoin and specific cryptocurrencies, nor is it necessary to preserve the total amount of the currency. Satoshi specifically called the privacy issues in Bitcoin out as a weakness to be improved upon, and several projects inside and outside of Bitcoin have been doing this.
My instinct is that stereoscopic vision is a big part of facial awareness. Simply moving it to 3D with virtual avatars wouldn't be enough, though - I think it's probably more about consciously imperceptible social cues.

If those cues could be identified, maybe you could point a high-res camera pointed at the person to capture them and then reproduce them on their VR avatar. I doubt the science is there, though.

Structure Is Strategic
Thank you - I appreciate the response, I was struggling to come up with what to say, but I think you hit all the points there, especially with the fact that it distracts me from the actual suggestions on the work.
It's such a tough culture to change. I sat next to one of a security team at a large networking equipment maker (who you would hope has a clue about security but not so much) for a while. Even after numerous meetings and agreements, dude still was on conference calls where various executives would first reach for the lawyer's phone number upon someone from the outside reporting a security problem. Talking these guys down from even the most absurd actions was a regular occurrence ... let alone just responding properly / graciously.

It was so bad at one point the legal team would contact the security team to get background anytime someone notified them of anything security related... just to avoid the obvious PR disaster that would be suing someone who was genuinely being helpful. (The key there was the legal council was a good guy and had an appreciation for the damage a poorly timed legal threat could do.)
Startup Idea: Free Online Courses Platform
I'm personally a big fan of e-learning platforms and I do like to use them sometimes. I also love the concept of free content where the platform delivers the content for free and generates revenue from alternative sources...

How cool would it be to have a Udemy or Skillshare but free to use for the users? The only thing similar to this that I know is maybe Youtube?! But, I guess that's it...?!

There is a crazy huge market out there... Now more than ever! So I wonder how a project like this could be viable and profitable for everyone involved... I mean, technically speaking this can be done with advertising, but with so many ad-blockers and other limitations can be extremely challenging to do a project like this...

What do you guys think?
It’s not matching every number 4, just the ones at the start of a column. The m is coming from “ESC[31m”, the escape code used to set the color of the text in the column.
Don't tease us - what was your exploit? Just from the description, I'm happy taking a guess that this is going to involve somehow exploiting the browser cache (e.g. via timing how long it takes to request an image from another domain that may or may not have previously been cached) to determine whether the user has visited a page. That was first written up by academics decades ago, and has since been independently invented by several people (me included), but wasn't fixed as of whenever I last checked a couple of years ago.

Is my wild guess right? :)
I believe you are correct about that aspect of turbolinks.

However, what I was alluding to in my comment was the background-load-and-swap approach used by turbolinks. An <a> could be enhanced to load the next page in the background, and then swap in the content. When combined with smart pre-fetching and pre-rendering, this will yield page boundaries that feel seamless.

Note that this is exactly how portals will make browsing feel faster. My abstract proposal is merely to make this a more general feature that can enhance plain links, rather than coupling it to a new UI element.
I have a home "NAS" (opensuse server) where my main /data partition is xfs, but it mounts a btrfs backup partition, rsyncs, and takes a snapshot.

I should really get around to converting the main drive to btrfs, but this works well.

I knew about Youtube Red, but it was not available in my country. I see now that they have rebranded it to Youtube Premium not long ago, and with it expanded it to include my country.

So that's certainly something. Still puzzles me why Netflix isn't trying to get a piece of this pie.
Life definitely is easier when there is a large underclass of disenfranchised poor people willing to do anything. Why has no-one considered this before?

(On a serious note, this is basically a meme at this point. Someone sees a thing, blames it on corporate greed. You may be a worker in a big-box store but you will make more money, you take less risk, and you get the opportunity to retire with some dignity rather than work yourself into a coffin. Poverty tourism is great fun but it is quite tragic when you see other people suffering and think there is nobility in that.)
Antirez, I look forward to seeing what you do next. I especially look forward to there being more software in the world that’s architected with your unique mindset—whether it be “useful” software or not. :)
Ansil849 already said this, but when talking about things like this there are actually multiple related, sometimes orthogonal, factors:

Anonymity - the quality of the user being unknown

Privacy - the quality of the user's actions being unobserved

Authenticity- the quality of the user's actions being certainly the user's

Bitcoin provides pseudonymous transactions, which may approach anonymity if the user is careful. It does not provide true privacy as all transactions are public. But the purpose of the transactions is not communicated, though may be inferred if the parties are identified. If I transfer $20 in BTC to a pizza joint, you can guess that I bought a pizza, but it's just a (well-founded) guess. It provides a high degree of authenticity in that it is a hard problem (in the mathematical sense, unless your keys have been obtained by an adversary) to fake a transaction.
They were doing this with their TVs. For me it was one of the most weird feelings I got, having no control over it and having a freaking ad in the menu of the TV in my living room (and I did follow all the possible steps to disable any marketing and other messages). Imagine having kids and seeing an ad for a chocolate with 50% sugar on your TV or other products that you want away from your kids, and no way of knowing what else they would push there.
> It's not different than "there were more people believing in Santa Claus proportionally in those negatively tested, so that means that Santa Claus belief reduced odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection."

If people who believe in Santa Claus have a 0.5 hazard ratio of contracting HIV, that suggests that belief in Santa Claus is protective against HIV. If we flip "belief Santa Claus" for some random drug, it would be the same, you just couldn't obviously tell that it is implausible.

Just because data suggests one thing or another doesn't mean that whatever the data suggests is true. It's still just a correlation, but you always start with a correlation.

You're simply not used to the jargon but feel entitled to criticize the authors for just doing their work. Please don't do that.

Design Thinking Toolkit – How Can I Help?
The whole car safety topic is very confusing. Car accidents is top1-top2 death reason in US for people in 20-40 age group [1]. Probably less in Europe but still one of the leading ones. I was thinking about how I can make myself safer.

Which car brand/model is better?
Which seat is better for passenger?
How much riskier it is to drive during the night? In the rain?
How dangerous is it to overtake on road with 1 lane in each direction?
What is most dangerous: crossroad with no traffic lights? Turns? City? Highways or smaller roads?

I was not able to find any meaningful research. There are ratings by different government agencies (US, UK, Australia etc), but basically all cars have highest rating which I find hard to believe.
Who give away a 1Billon? Tipically a 1 Billon transaction is raised as a red flag into the tax system, and trigger an investigation with the label "i do not believe this is a gift, must be a comercial transaction, why it is not paying taxes?"
Or use .local
Not every use case can be supported in a safe and secure way.

Just like "update the firmware of attached USB MIDI devices via the web, without a permission popup" was something Chrome implemented, and after quite some time had to realize this might not be the best solution.

Sometimes you just have to stop and think if this is really the best tool for the job, or if you should use something else instead.
Self-hosting is what I always recommend, especially when it involves customer data. Personally, I use, and recommend Full Help[1].

The developer is super responsive, takes to criticism very well, and engage in meaningful conversations when you have a feature request. Took him less than a month to have PGP encryption support added, from conversation to production.

That being said, Full Help is relatively new, so if you want something more mature, that has more features already built-in, and also offers a SaaS version, Cerb[2] is a great option.

I used it when working at a big hosting company, and loved it, but the interface is kinda ugly.

Honestly, Cerb beat Full Help with both hands tied behind their back, but their licensing model was a bit too expensive for my budget, hence Full Help.

I think it's in one of Atul Gawande's books but he mentions how before anaesthesia, the incentive was to have surgeries be as fast as possible to minimize the duration of pain endured by the patient.

He then goes on to recount a story of a surgeon performing an operation in front of a group and the following happened:

- He accidentally cut the person assisting him

- A woman in the crowd suffered a heart attack from the shock of watching the above

- The assistant ended up dying of infection from the cut

- The patient also ended up dying.

As he tells it, it was the only operation where the mortality rate was 300%
Whenever I've seen it used or had to use a fizzbuzz-type question as an interviewer, it has always been stated that it's a warm-up question for which a straightforward implementation is fine. People who are senior get a harder warm-up question but the same reassurance is given.
The AMX extensions drop 2 more components into XSAVE: XTILECFG (which is 64 bytes) and XTILEDATA (8192 bytes).

Interestingly, there does seem to be a new extension (see §3.2.6 of https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/downloa...) that, on first glance, looks to be a per-thread enable/disable bit for using these registers, which suggests that an OS could make a process-level capability to enable/disable AMX and thereby not bother saving these registers on context switches if it's switching to a process without AMX.
You can't do that easily, you still need the public key file on disk.

I just took a quick look at Consumer Reports for Vovlo's reliability and they're not great. A couple were even bad. If my memory is right, this has been the case for a while. It looks like maybe Volvos are safe, but not super reliable I guess?
I'm happy that I am not alone!

Quick example: event listeners in Firefox are visibly attached to their DOM element; in Chrome, I just can't find them. There's this Event Listeners list in a sidebar somewhere, but getting the function that attached it is a PITA.
Many projects still predominantly use Hyperscript with the option to use JSX (including Mithril and Hyperapp, and others like RE:DOM, snabbdom to name a few). Even React has an option to use it if you want to skip the JSX compile-step. So I wouldn't say we're necessarily moving away from it.

Personally, I prefer Hyperscript. It took maybe a day for me to get over its perceived ugliness and actually appreciate that it's plain, valid JavaScript.
