The analogy holds because it’s a mere difference in degree, not in quality. I picked the analogy to exaggerate the degree in order to more clearly illustrate the quality.

Although at least this headline is fully honest and not misleading, so kudos there.
Exactly this! My spouse asked me the other day if Apple had released their contact tracing app yet. It was difficult to explain in lay terms that Apple was not releasing an app, just the tools to make an app.
> legacy rendering performance is improved by single-digit percentage points, I believe.

I feel like one would expect this, given that the rendering engines of any given generation, are architected under specific assumptions about the optimal relative "shape" of their graphics pipeline.

The clearest example being old game consoles. You could write a SNES emulator for the SuperFX coprocessor, that used the host's GPU to render the polygons, but the rendering would not go any faster than it does on the SNES, because the draw commands are just being trickled out as the physics-engine work necessary to update their positions gets done in fits and starts per scan-line. That trickling-out was necessary on a SNES, because there wasn't time to run all that logic during VBLANK; but in the modern era, we have the opposite problem — that the logic could all be completed during VBLANK (with tons of room to spare), but instead is being "dragged out" across 512 HBLANKs, such that the GPU only gets the full picture of the completed scene at the last moment. (Despite the recent source-code leak, rewriting StarFox to make it render at 60FPS or more will not be a trivial process.)

The same thing is true, to a varying extent, of all legacy renderers. They're written for graphical pipelines that just don't match the one we have now. The one we have now is "wider" — more parallel — in so many places, but if it's just being used to recapitulate a long, serial set of fixed-function legacy pipeline stages, that width doesn't help it any.
Wow, that was so nice of the police to let him lie down when he asked.

Then to thoughtfully apply a knee to his neck to prevent him from flying up into the sky if gravitational attraction were to suddenly reverse, so very helpful and just! And they kept at it for almost 9 minutes, such dedication to helping the public, wow.
Qualified immunity severely limits this.
People in America don't understand that they gave up their civil rights when the "patriot act" and similar laws were approved after 9/11. The federal government has the right given by congress to spy, detain, and imprison outside the standard rule of law, under the pretense of "attempted domestic terrorism". This is essentially minority report-style laws applied to the US, since they can do what they want on the excuse of crimes that would possibly happen in the future.
One reason was that the government didn't like the people using the the psychedelics in the first place, and drugs were a convenient justification for going after those people. Marijuana prohibition in the US is the same story.
> I will wait until there is a phone where I can just open a terminal and type apt install whatever I want.

This phone can boot any Linux distro you like from SD-card or usb.

That’s pretty unique and you really don’t get much more open than that.
I doubt there is such thing and that you can learn windows waterfall way. You need to use it and fight ad hoc problems. There are many different solutions to any problem.

Microsoft puts compatibility features topmost and that is the reason for multiple ways to do any thing. Sometimes I hate it, but if I think about it more clearly its a big asset to know that stuff you know will always work on Windows even if it get 'deprecated' by newer stuff.

IMO, you should learn to do any Windows configuration with PowerShell. You will have consistent interface for everything and as additional benefit you will learn shell very well and can bring it on with you to *nix world.

Regarding books, Windows internals is great one but probably not what you seek (mostly low level stuff). Sysinternals stuff generally is great way to understand and dominate Windows.

18 hours of the day not eating, 6 eating. It's usually called time restricted eating/feeding or an eating window with the idea being you'd do it every day. This is in contrast to extended/prolonged fasting, which is typically 24hr+.

In general IF (intermittent fasting) is a catch-all phrase, and not a particularly helpful one.
Good thing they won't dare take your phone away!
Out of curiosity, how did a toiletry injure you?
Fasting doesn't have to mean fewer calories. It could mean eating all of your daily calories in a 6 hour window, instead of 3 times per day.
Ask me if I will volunteer to give apple or google any more information than they already collect and my answer will always be no. I don't care what the reasoning. Germany did it right.

I never really understood this argument, obscurity add an obvious layer of protection, not impenetrable of course, but still valid. Why is this different than an API key for example?
> Not gonna happen because it takes 3 master nodes to have a quorum and 1 separate worker node.

You don't, strictly speaking, need separate worker nodes. You just need to untaint the masters.

Or you can just run the masters on raspberry pis - under $200 for a properly redundant cluster. (Masters and workers do not have to share a CPU architecture)

Our product development teams are cross-functional and always involve both front- and back-end developers. And everyone on a team is expected to have a reasonable understanding of what everyone else is doing, even the designers and PMs. You can be an expert in one area, but nobody gets a pass for being clueless about the other relevant areas. On such a team, it’s also entirely possible for a backend developer to contribute frontend code and vice versa if it makes sense, but you’ll do so knowing there’s a functional expert on the project who will review your work.

But these product teams are unrelated to our reporting structure in the company. Products come and go. Teams to build them or improve them have to be spun up and spun down. It doesn’t make sense to tie this too much to the organization’s more static managerial structure. To be sure, some products are so central and core that their delivery teams are essentially permanent, but that’s far from always the case.

In this more static reporting structure, we have a much stronger split based on functional specialty. Backend engineers tend to report up into chains of mostly managers and senior managers who are experts on backend development. The same is true of frontend engineers. This allows people to delve deep into their specialty, and it allows engineering managers to drive change and progress across all backend or frontend engineers at the company. For instance, this makes it a lot easier to make sure that backend work on multiple product teams is going to coordinate well.

We’ve found this works quite well in practice. In your day to day experience you’re on a product team with frequent exposure to many domains. But you report into an organization based on your functional specialty and area of expertise.
Nice example - you were right, my wording on that section was incorrect. sukilot quite nicely presents the error in my derivation - I guess I probably shouldn't try coming up with proofs on the spot - especially if they're not machine checked.

I think what I probably should have said instead was that the low false positive rate means that only a small proportion of the honest URLs will be sent up.
Absolutely. Violence related to drug dealing is a result on the insane profit margins on heroin, cocaine, and meth. It’s possible to make 70-90% net profit on cocaine if you can get it at wholesale, which is nuts. Of course people will kill each other for the chance to make 90 cents on the dollar.

If you bought some Chinese fentanyl and made “heroin” I bet it’s closer to 95-99% net, imagine having a money machine that spit out 20 dollars for every dollar you put in. No wonder people kill each other over drugs.
Null safety is absolutely essential for me. It's 2020, why are we still having NullPointerExceptions? However I'm curious about the next frontier of safety. We've slowly added a lot of nice features around safe use of values and safe memory. I wonder what's next.

Personally I've been thinking about safe use of arrays. Arrays are such an important data structure and yet they're horribly unsafe. Every time I do index math I get that same nervousness that I used to get accessing fields in nullable data structures. I'd love for a way to verify array indices that doesn't involve too much dependent typing.

Certainly every university should cut them if they’re no selling brand and access to an alumni network.

Schools with more open admissions policies can’t expect to charge much more than Coursera for similar offerings.

Another commenter pointed out that one of the paper's authors, Valter Longo, has already written a number of books on intermittent fasting. While I think it's great when scientist publish in a form that is more accessible to the public, it's important to note that he was strongly invested in promoting intermittent fasting prior to this research being done, even to the point of selling a $300 mail order diet.

I think the reason this "entirely unexciting" study is getting attention is related to one of its author's having a talent for self-promotion.

There are different theories of criminal punishment (i.e., different people subscribe to different philosophical justifications). Incapacitation is basically a special case of deterrence, in that you're deterring the individual who's in prison. Retribution is a little more controversial, but plenty of people see it as a valid goal.
> What if we can only carry one sensor?

> That is what happened exactly in the Apollo rocket, back in the 60s the IMUs were veeery heavy and they could only carry one.

The first and most famous application of a Kalman filter in the Apollo program was for the problem of midcourse navigation. In this application, the Apollo PGNCS used the Kalman filter to combine the calculated trajectory based on vehicle dynamics with the sextant measurements (optical starsighting). The IMU was not used for midcourse navigation.

See e.g. Figures 1-6 and 5-5 in http://klabs.org/history/history_docs/mit_docs/1697.pdf.
Technically speaking, retribution is a punishment dealt to someone for committing a crime, so any prison sentence is an act of retribution.

This is a great idea and wouldn't be too hard to port to a local solution, e.g. using Tesseract or similar. The idea of tuning your handwriting and using a markup language designed to be easily written by hand to make it easier to do the OCR, instead of trying to be perfectly general, is actually a great idea.

I can imagine one necessary enhancement (I would find it necessary anyway) would be to support crossing-through words with a line to "erase" them.

I also like the idea of batch requests so you can pul multiple keys at once, or set multiple keys at once. It seems better for everyone.

My only concern is that a small portion of users will undoubtedly try to abuse this with high volumes or large objects, or both.

Have you published any limits on value key size, value size, read/write limits for keys etc? It might be worth thinking about now before you have to shutdown users or shutdown the service due to cost.

My university had a dozen computer labs that were never utilized to capacity, (One in a dedicated, multi-story building), and a library that was far bigger than any of the other buildings on campus.

And you wonder why fees are so high? And tuition skyrocketed?

No one shows anger towards the corporations which don't train anymore for their BS job in their BS department which doesn't do much of anything. We ignore the corporate bloat and regulatory capture across the entire spectrum for the select few corporations that have our politicians in their back pocket.

I disagree. A mob burning down a courthouse isn't a minor thing: it's a clear symbolic statement that the justice system is illegitimate, the law has no power, and mob rule should be established. If I were confident that everyone would peacefully disperse and things would return to normal, I'd be all in favor of letting it burn, but I'd expect to just see more arson.
I read this article a different way: instead of being under pressure to cut tuition, schools just realized they can cut a bunch of amenities and students will still pay their tuition, and even more. With that knowledge, they might as well keep it that way forever and pocket the extra income. Students will complain, but until they start dropping out, tuition can apparently be driven up endlessly. It's a lucrative business.

Security through obscurity refers to relying upon keeping the details of the security mechanism secret. An API key itself is a secret, but the mechanism for how that key is generated and used is public knowledge.

In fact, the reason the best security mechanisms used today are so robust is specifically because they are made public in the first place.
Slightly nitpicky but the 72 hour piece is wrong here

A data controller has 72 hours to notify the ICO (or other supervisory authority). A data processor has no such obligation [unless specified as part of the data processing agreement DPA]

Most DPA will state asap s.t the controller can notify

But in this instance Blackbaud would almost certainly be a processor
