I'm not sure the gig economy really is a good example of positive things as far as wadges / benefits and etc goes.
Wife and I moving back to our home town. Although all our friends are in SF, it's miserable working from a small apartment and not being able to see our friends. Our destination happens to be in one the places that is covid free right now though. We plan on moving back to SF if/when things clear up
There has never been any separation of concern in web development. Just because you put your scripts, HTML and CSS in different files doesn't mean they are separated.

> Google Maps has a clear use case for accessing the clipboard.

I don't think it does. Neither application should "access" the clipboard.
They should settle before even controlled digital lending is determined to not be legally compliant.
I think there is something to this. I can't quite make the leap to "video chats short circuit a brain function essential for trust." but I do think we miss out on a lot, or maybe some tend to be dismissive.

I think it may be easier to be dismissive in a video chat, but I'd suspect those who are would tend to be so anyway, just behind your back, not face to face in the meeting.
I've been using my YubiKey 5Ci in Safari on macOS and iOS since macOS 10.15[1] and iOS 13.3[2] (which came out several months ago), and Safari supports FIDO2 + WebAuthn just fine.

Sidebery - wow! I'd looked for a vertical tab add-on to no avail last year, but this is incredible. Thanks.

It still boggles my mind that everything is made to go horizontal on default Windows/Mac UIs when desktops are widescreen and most content we consume now is tall and thin.
Keep in mind your med schools are nearly free for EU citizens. American doctors usually graduate with $500K or more in debt, so their salary has to cover debt payments plus insurance.
Yes and no. It’s a confidence builder. A better comparison is an A12Z in an iPad Pro has similar synthetic benchmark result as an i7-7700k. And it feels like it in daily use. So when Apple drop desktops out with this class of CPU we’re not going to be left SOL with something as weak as a gnat’s fart.
If you wish. You can decide if you want a passphrase on the generated key or not, just as you can with a classic SSH key. It's probably best to use a passphrase and have ssh-agent remember it for you until you shut down the computer. That way you enter your passphrase the first time using SSH with that key after logging in, and ask you to tap the physical U2F key, and only ask for the interaction with the physical key afterwards.

When I SSH to a host configured like this, the Yubikey U2F key I am using blinks to ask me to touch it. It's really quite neat.
Everything up there is great. I've listen to the history of Rome and the French revolution multiple times. But I am very concerned about his increasing radicalization since doing the Haitian revolution. It's lowering the quality of his work significantly.
Hey this is Matt from the 0x Labs team (0x.org). We are excited to launch Matcha, a new p2p crypto exchange that aggregates liquidity from across decentralized exchange networks like 0x, Uniswap, Kyber, Curve and more to surface the best price on every trade. We spent a lot of time researching and developing Matcha from the ground up to solve many of the UX/UI issues with current DEXs.

Take a sip of Matcha and let us know your feedback!
Indeed. IA's defense is mostly about controlled digital lending, while the National Emergency Library was definitely uncontrolled digital lending, and really has no good precedent to base upon. I think it's unfortunate that this case is likely to blowback on CDL as a concept, even though the issue was uncontrolled lending.
Well, scholars believe the Barbary pirates enslaved around 1.2 million whites during the time they were active.

I mean, if you go back far enough basically every identity group has been on the receiving end of something terrible done by some other group. If that's all it takes for separatism to be legitimate and praiseworthy then more or less anyone could argue they deserve their own ethno-state.
Aren't those more like smart earbuds in a glasses form factor? As far as I can tell there's no display component to the device at all, just speakers and a microphone.

You can use an OpenPGP card more generally than just for SSH auth.

E.g. other auth, and GPG encryption - such as with `pass`.
For me, this is one of the most interesting aspects to the development of Linux, and one I've been studying for years at various levels.

Even though I don't understand a lick of most of the code, watching the lkml and the process itself is very quite interesting, however, there are a few ways to try and put the kernel in a better position in the future.

Each major release can be considered a "story", for example, the journey of WireGuard from inception to submitting it to the kernel, that's an entire process, involving many, many steps and employs an unlimited number of tools; meeting in person, email, VoIP, Slack and anything you can think of.

Conversations that turn into code are a vital part of kernel development, but I feel is less well known (after all, we just see code shuffling about git repos).

Each bit of code is possibly hours of work, represents many conversations, and yet, git cannot (and does not), preserve the history of how code reaches Linus' tree.

So, how can we improve this situation?

Document, document, document!!

I'd love to see someone like Greg Kroah-Hartman, David Miller, Stephen Rothwell et al document, extensively, how they do their work.

I'm talking about high resolution; screen captures, text, images, audio and anything else that we can preserve going forward, perhaps all neatly tucked away in a git repo and backed up many, many times.

Seriously, we're at risking of losing a core vital understanding of how people do their work, especially those who are core to the Kernel. Of course, people may develop new methods, but I feel the kernel is quite mature and the processes in theory are quite stable too (such as how Greg actually releases a stable kernel once a week).

Of course, not everything can be documented, older software gets older, and someone's favorite email client may not be transferable, but the general process can be.

So yes, this is something to think about and prepare for, otherwise it may hit the kernel quite hard.

Misses an important one - verifiability. Gold is valuable because there are stunningly low-tech methods for a counterparty to ascertain if the piece of gold you hold in your hand is real, prior to, during, and after an exchange. In effect, gold as an exchange medium drives down the cost of trust.

The article claims that there is no "intrinsic" value. Does this particular property count as "intrinsic"? It has to do with the specialness of gold in the periodic table and even requires the theory of relativity for the math to work out right (though the uniqueness of gold's property is not itself intrinsically due to relativity, but a happenstance of relative physical constants).

> I find it doubtful that an organization with so much litigation and advocacy experience under their belt would naively throw away a ton of money on a losing battle.

I can come up with all sorts of reasons why the EFF might step in.

1. The IA is valuable enough that even a small increase in its chances of survival is worth spending a lot of money on

2. They don't think they can win, but they think they can mitigate the IA's losses

3. They think they can win in the media

4. They want to steer the legal arguments of IA in such a way that "controlled digital lending" has the best chance of surviving the lawsuit
Because Tik Tok takes data collection to a whole new level. It uses this, and every other trick in the book. And that matters because it's not clear that this data will be constrained to the activities of sending me extremely targeted advertising. Now we can have a reasonable debate about that, but this has a new level of concern.

As a Chinese app, how do I know the Chinese government will not use me as an unknowing participant in a future cyberwar? One thing Tik Tok does is collect a pretty exhaustive list apps installed on my phone. That could be used for identifying vulnerabilities they could potentially exploit.
You are thinking much too conservatively, in terms of performance. I think 50% faster wouldn't even be worth the effort of making the transition.

If we start from the position that the A12Z is, roughly speaking, on par with Intel's most-powerful mobile processors (per CPU core), then work from there:

The first ARM Macs will not be using that processor. Apple have said publicly that the processor cores in Macs will have features that aren't supported by the DTK's processors. That means they're at least equivalent to the A13, but more-likely a generation newer than that, so A14 (or whatever) equivalent. That's probably a 50% boost in and of itself.

The rumor mill says the Mac chips will have 12 cores, instead of 8. Presumably those are 4 more "performance" cores, so that's another 50% boost.

And if they double the TDP, which should be feasible with forced-air cooling, that's another 50%.

So, that's a 237% performance improvement, under some fairly realistic estimates.

Maybe the first portable Macs with the new chips will "only" be twice as fast as the current MacBookPro line, but they might very well be much faster than that.
Good content.
Added above. Thanks.
I first met antirez during the Engine Yard Hamming Distance contest. Does anyone else remember that? DJB, and his team, won it. It was a lot of fun to participate.

I wish companies would have contests such as this more often. I think it would be a great way to find and hire really good people.
For the "gig economy" to become a good example of positive things as far as wadges / benefits and etc goes, the market tech would need to lack power over the workers, whether because of competition or regulation. That's why I'm not saying "look at Uber, Uber is wonderful." I'm saying I can imagine a system with the best of both worlds. The American political/economic climate hasn't got us there.
It’s the same in China today. They have the Hukou system. This is your family registration system and you need special permission to register somewhere new. Your benefits as a citizen are tied to this.

If you move to a city without approval, you work illegally and are not entitled to housing or educational facilities (which is why parents who’ve moved illegally need to send their kids to illegal schools).

The local government also can go raid these places from time to time depending on what quotas they need to align with.

So kind of sort of of like the four belt system in the USSR which limited internal movement and required internal passports.
You see this a lot in VC-land too. I've lost count of the number of Twitter threads from VC "thinkfluencers" bemoaning how much more exciting the startup scene is in China, and usually when you dig into those threads you realize what they really mean is that labor in China is so cheap that it's a lot easier to start some useless delivery business with a fancy app.

Duh, of course you can do more with human labor when human labor is cheaper, but that isn't something to strive for.

True, (and my self-selection has been in tech and legal work, where written communication is primary) but phrases from the article such as "essential", "crucial", and "vital" ring hollow when there are obvious counterexamples.

When I was taking graduate-level mathematics courses, my professor told me that abstract concepts become much easier to wrestle with if we make them real through focused realization and imagination. This has served me well.
Imagine the water heater company didn't know they were gaming the test. They first design a water heater and it gets a B- on the test. Being overachievers, they work hard and submit a second design that gets an A+. They might not realize that both heaters are basically the same with the only difference being some heating element spacing that works better for the test. Both times they submitted a legit design that was the same they'd provide to consumers. Sure, we know the engineers knew what was happening, but we can see how one might innocently arrive in the same scenario. I think it's safe to say the test is flawed.

The VW test is not like that. There's no way to innocently arrive in the scenario they did. They did not game a bad test, they literally lied to the test administrators. The car ran in "clean mode" only if it was in the test environment. If the car ran like it did on the road, they'd have failed (which is how they were caught, with a mobile testing setup).

One of the points in the article is that regulating for safety based on known testing conditions is going to result in over-fitting for the test. The water heater company is guilty of intentionally over-fitting. VW just straight up lied. I don't think those 2 actions are equal, VW is worse, but I agree that both are dishonest to a degree.
Vocational training is way under-utilized and promoted in the US, but there are still many many jobs that won't even look at you without a degree in hand. As long as we're careful about where the money comes from, universal education can be a huge win for almost all citizens.
With 80 cores I can get 40 2-core VMs all pegging their CPUs on a single processor without any core contention. Multiply up by the number of sockets. That might be the more interesting application for cloud providers than going for a single use case for the entire box.

Where this might get interesting, depending on how the pricing stacks up, is that if you're in the cloud function business, this will increase the number of function instances you can afford to keep warmed up and ready to fire. In those situations you're not bottlenecked on the total bandwidth for the function itself (usually), your constraint is getting from zero to having the executable in VM it's going to run in, and from there getting it into the core past whatever it's contending with. If there's nothing to contend with and it's just waiting for a (probably fairly small) trigger signal, execution time from the point of view of whatever's downstream could easily be dominated by network transit times.
See my comment at the same level as yours. 2020 iPad Pro is about the same as an i7-7700k. It’s insanely fast at a much much much lower TDP.
Honestly at this point I don’t even really understand the difference between emulation and translation at the app level.

My intuition is that “emulation” generally means an entire system rather than individual apps running on a system?
Apple's secretive engineering culture is complete anathema to the ML world and what the likes of DeepMind, OpenAI, Google AI are doing in terms of sharing.

This is IMO very visible in the "output" Apple has produced in the space of ML : mostly infrastructure, and very little in the way of innovative tech and research.

And changing culture is a very hard proposition from a management perspective, unless you build a complete skunkworks-like independent entity within the mothership.
Doesn't that actually bolster my case? If establishing trust is going to affect "real" stakes we've got a bigger incentive to make it work. It should be harder to make it work with "imaginary" stakes because the consequences of failing to establish successful trusting teams would be less.

Also, what is "real" and what is "imaginary"? Time is real regardless of if I spend it on something "real" like work or something "imaginary" like a game.

If I put in 30 hours helping my team on something that I don't actually find fun or interesting because I expect my team will later put in the time to help me with something I do find fun or interesting and my team lets me down I'm just as annoyed at the lost 30 hours if it is a game team as I am if it is a work team. Heck, at least with the work team I still get paid for those useless hours.
You're incorrect. Chinese is a nationality, not a race, which means this isn't racism. An accurate description would be that this is stereotyping on the basis of nationality.

As such, a more accurate comparison than "black man stealing a bike" would be to something like a "Nigerian scammer," which is an archetype I don't think most of us have a problem with. Other examples I never see complaints about: "Russian hacker," "American imperialist," etc.

These "average" cars have pretty terrible seat backs if you happen to be taller than the average. Outright destructive to the spine.
Yeah. Presumably more information will also trickle out from the developers who are using the DTKs.
Patched but unusable still equal unusable. FF should really decouple security patches from redesign and functional changes. There is no reason to force both.
There are an endless number of causes one could "black out" for. But they just so happened to black out for the one with a pressure campaign and mob backing, that has intertwined itself with American national political ambitions?

The emotional blackmail of this movement will probably be its undoing.
MongoDB Index Builds – Preventing Users from Triggering New Builds
The most important part of abstract thinking, at least after you get the hang of it, is to then step back and make it concrete and pull at the threads to see how a theory comes apart. The more layers of abstraction you add to a situation the more opportunities for a tiny, tiny error to grow into a larger problem.

If you follow along carefully with the arguments in most classical philosophy in great detail, you notice this more and more: everything has a logical error or assumption eventually and the author typically does not catch their own error.
Just wanted to second this. I ran several public Linux servers at a major university. China and Russia based IPs we’re constantly trying to brute force all of our servers. It got the point where we would just apply a geoblock just in case one finally managed to get through.

I’m all for avoiding nationalistic dog whistles when discussing things, but both China and Russia have rightfully earned their places as bad actors on the internet.

Hard-core data preservation: best media and methods for archiving (2016)
They're similar, but Hyperapp is purely functional and more comparable to Elm.
Maybe. Last I checked, the tires on F1 cars are optimized for traction at actual racing speeds (when they get hot and stickier), which means that at low speeds F1 cars actually have much poorer traction than one might think. Only matters on turns, presumably, and 40km/h might be slow enough that it does not matter, but I'd really want to see some experimental data before deciding on anything that happens so far out of a vehicle's intended-use envelope.
The Industrial Revolution happened on England in a time when labor was plentiful relative to the usual rate. There was a run away into the cities happening.
The key legal difference is that VW literally behaved differently if a test was running. If they had simply designed a system that tested better than it actually performed (by optimizing the factors tested for), they would not have gotten in trouble.

If the water heater manufacturer had special heating elements that only ran during the test, it would be equivalent.
I personally would say it's the bad side of justice - there is no downside to giving away that which is unlimited. It's mostly greed, but greed has utilitarian roots also, because encouraging piracy will discourage innovation.

It's a sad situation really: that the best solution we must adhere to is denying free resources to the masses. Not really human.
> I'd love to see clear evidence about the reporter clearly looking to get Scott cancelled. The scare quotes on "reporter" are unnecessary.

Here's an example of the NYT providing anonymity to a therapist with a political blog in 2015: https://twitter.com/s8mb/status/1275436187713286144

Here's the NYT protecting the anonymity of female gamers to protect them from harassment (on the same day that Scott took down his blog): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23619347

There are other examples, but those strike me as the most related to Scott's circumstances. It's not proof per se, but it severely undermines the credibility of the statement that it would be against NYT policy to grant the same protections to Scott.
Please, just read Don Norman's The Design of Everyday Things instead of a hundred dashed out blog posts.
He's referring to Apple's official response. Which was basically along the lines of "Nothing to worry about everyone! Exploit was only used on the 12 most popular websites for Ughygur related content. Therefore you have nothing to worry about."
Debian 11 too, out of the box. It took a bit of work to use a newer openssh-client on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop, but that was manageable.
What you describe is the process of buying a laptop on Ebay.

When you buy a plane, perhaps you have already payed months ahead, perhaps you'll pay five years later, perhaps you pay on a monthly basis, perhaps you don't pay at all but transfer the rights do to something

it is all contractual obligations, sometimes money does not even trade hands

etc.

the idea that you would need to wait for a bank to open to transfer money while watching the timezones is completely unrealistic
If the books were not being sold as digital copies, maybe they could invoke fair use due to the pandemic making other ways to access the books impossible.

That said, the best avenue would seem to be a PR campaign with a call for a boycott and public shaming of the publishers (Hachette, Penguin Random House, John Wiley & Sons, and HarperCollins) that are putting their profit ahead of public access to the books.

In fact, it seems pretty surprising that the publishers would risk such an hit to their reputation given that the Internet Archive probably doesn't have much money to give them as compensation anyway.
In correlation with SpaceX :)
Hidden metrics help, but it is pretty frustrating as an individual to be evaluated based on hidden criteria.
I'm really skeptical of the idea that you could have everyday people hire other humans for cheap... and at the same time somehow they would make a good income / benefits / etc.
That's a completely fair point and you are 100% right. Apple is the culprit. Unfortunately me making PWA's won't fix that problem and while I agree they are in the wrong here I'm not going to switch to Android or expect my users to do so. I do wish Apple would change but this isn't enough of a thorn in my side to force me switch OS's.

Thankfully I already have another reason for paying for the app store dev program so I am able to leverage that for my own personal apps or ones I might publish.
