In the very first reply, dang explains that the account was banned for repeated violations, so it's not just the content of that particular comment that got it flagged, but rather the account itself was banned so the comment was marked dead.

Frankly, however, if the commenter had wanted to create a discussion rather than troll, they could have used a vastly different tone. Just because there might be some interesting topic buried under the layers of sarcasm doesn't necessarily redeem it. If you want to discuss it, maybe you could elaborate on what you found interesting and post a separate response to the parent, and do so more civilly than this comment.

GDPR does not apply whether a company is in E.U. or not, but if a user/consumer of a service is in the E.U.

So this will be a violation of the GDPR only for Windows users in the E.U.

But I'm sure all that tracking is explain in the middle of 100 pages long agreement that you have to agree to install and use Windows.
Just did the fun "what kind of car could I buy instead" of maxing out the specs on an Apple computer. 10 cores, 128GB RAM, 16GB GPU, 8TB SSD, 10GB ethernet comes out to $8799. ~ A used Civic/Corolla I guess. Not as sticker shocking as the maxed MacPro. Would love to see how the machine performs though.
They do the same thing for simple he said, she said, non-technical reporting.

Something being a complex topic doesn't help, but the problem often isn't one of not being able to understand, but choosing not to understand before even making an attempt.

Even when that's not the case, any professional needs to know the limits of their capabilities. Reporters that don't understand a subject shouldn't be reporting on it (without help, at least). That they do is a reflection in their professional judgement.

Also it's fun when you have to speak to customer support and you're not sure if you made up the answer or not. It's extra fun when the security question is something embarrassingly obvious like "what town did you grow up in?" or "what is your mother's maiden name?" and you get it wrong (and have to say "No really, I know this but I lied on your form").
Nice spec-bump for those, who want to stay with Intel-based Macs a bit longer (e.g. depend on x86-virtualisation, running Windows). While I was about ready to upgrade my current iMac in 2020, I am going to try to hold out till the step to Apple Silicon. The one thing I would hope for would be a bigger screen. The 27" is a tiny bit too small, especially vertically. Considering that Apple once sold the 30" Cinema display, the step to 27" always felt like a step back. When going to a design with less bezels, they really should use some of the saved space for a bigger screen.
I'm surprised the discussion has derailed into whether or not to use JSON fields... Certainly you don't have to, but they've been in Postgres contrib for a long time.

Async views have dropped, and that is genuinely exciting. It's taken a lot of work, and there's still a ways to go before Django is truly async native, but this is one of the big steps, and being able to do some concurrent IO on a few routes could be a huge saving for some projects that call out.

Otherwise a lot of stuff has to be done in event queues, to avoid blocking the main thread, and sometimes that means a bad UX when users take actions and aren't offered the guarantee that they are complete - in times where that might be the best option, were you not risking blocking thread.

Nobody is "blinded because the math is right". You're using the same sort of argumentation that is used in all of the pseudo sciences.

If you know of a way to improve upon the existing methodologies, then show it to us, and be precise. Then you will have an argument that deserves to be engaged with. Ambiguous claims that the math "doesn't actually reflect anything real" sound intelligent, but really aren't saying much at all.

Specific isolation mechanisms depend on what products a customer is using. In general, there is additional encapsulation happening as data is ingested and before it's sent onward to customers.
Arguably: All European customers who bought a Fitbit are likely screwed anyways, Google has a poor history with supporting acquired product lines. While I am irritated about my data being acquired, personally, I'd also recommend against anyone buying a Fitbit while this acquisition is in flux, as Google might choose to terminate service to devices shortly post-acquisition anyways. And privacy loss is a harm as well.

In short, this acquisition is already harming everyone, and the EU is trying to prevent the most consumer harm.
On the "advantages" side, buying intel now you get a powerful iMac that runs existing software, including Windows, and will be supported for years.
I'd like to see someone write a blog post taking a shot at (speculatively) "reverse engineering" how the TikTok algorithm works (or may work)...like what attributes it might extract from a video (some of which you've mentioned above) and what it might do with them. Basically, how the overall thing may work, as well as how it may improve over time, taking into consideration current cutting edge ML techniques and speculative future capabilities.
So, that's plausible, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the operational model of signed software. Apple has plenty of docs about it [1] [2] [3] but never really get into "how does this work in the long run when things fail" beyond blithely noting that users won't be able to run your stuff and a host of services will start to fail.

A CRL / OSCP makes sense, more or less, for websites as they can simply abandon a cert.

If the cert leaks, is the remedy really to completely blacklist the certificate? Because that means that anyone who is able to steal the cert can effectively blackmail an author.

I'd definitely want to revoke it, but if there's a set of valid releases, it seems like you'd want to do a partial revocation, e.g. "valid until YYMMDD." Or have a blacklist / whitelist and mark known good releases.

I can't imagine how they don't have a separation of concerns given that app certificates must expire.

If you expect to be kidnapped, quick response would be helpful. But if you're planning for unexpected death, there's no real need to get that out in less than 48 hours; it can easily be 15 days of inactivity followed by 15 days of failing to respond to probes.

Yup. Realistically, the successor of ML is in fact OCaml.
> the goal here is to create an abstraction for interfacing with the different tools from different EDA vendors

I gathered as much. Again, the EDA-space is large. PyEDA was interfacing to severals SAT-Solvers, BDD-Libraries (even rolling their own if you didn't want dependencies), and logic minimizers.

This abstraction Layer here seems to mainly wrap EDA-tooling around HDL and therefore (I guess, since I am not a hardware guy) hardware verification tools. I would guess that those are basically the two ends of the EDA-spectrum, going from the very abstract of some First Order Boolean Formula Satisfiability problem to Actual Hardware Verification.

> All you need to believe is that an increasing sequence, bounded above, converges

That isn't quite enough; because the final limit on the sequence is only determined after an infinite number of 'moves' in the game. The details of why it is true might be relevant here because it might interact with the strategies of players A and B.

Does that interact with the a_n < α < b_n part of the proof in strange ways? I can say 0.9, 0.99, 0.999 are all < 1 and handwave an induction proof that 0.999... < 1 but that isn't true. Strange things happen at infinity and to verify that this proof isn't hand waving requires detailed consideration of quite complicated issues about how mechanically all these limits and convergences work. I suppose that is my real concern; I don't think it is supported that a_n < α < b_n for all n still forces convergence out of S; because it looks vaguely similar to the 0.999... = 1 issue. I'd look to the monotonic limit part of the proof for support there.

I accept that this is just me not having a deep familiarity with these things, so the details will all turn out to support the proof and/or be irrelevant. But Cantor's proof is a lot easier on people who are reliant on working stuff out from first principles. I don't even need to look up definitions of convergence or think about strategic options at infinity.

Say S is the rationals. For all a_n < α < b_n there are rationals in the interval. So it isn't immediately obvious that Bob's strategy is a winning strategy at infinity. Nobody can describe a game state where Alice has unambiguously lost. If n is finite Alice will clearly lose but the argument that she loses when n is infinite is going to be technical. The infinity where Bob wins might be a different infinity to the one where the series is forced to converge. Not all infinities are equal.
Depends which model. Some require taking the screen off, which unlike earlier models is taped on and some have soldered in RAM. Until someone has seen a hole in the back or has torn one down you just don’t know.

Fair point but some things you mentioned really do have non-Windows alternatives ("game programming" and "embedded development" aren't limited to Windows-only stacks. I don't know about CAD so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.)

My point is, people who say their work is only doable on Windows tend to just be scared to move away from the specific tools they know.

I would argue that being an advertising company makes it inherently incompatible with privacy and trust.

Nice read.

I guess TikTok has taken the quote "users don't know what they want" to next level. FB, YT, Twitter, Instagram are trying to use the labels/tags/likes/network provided by user while TikTok is using user's interactions to categorize user and recommend the content which the user himself didn't even knew he/she liked.

> Why do I have to decide if my function is synchronous or not when I write it?

I feel that sync and async functions are fundamentally different. In python coroutine is really just a function you can pause and while it might seem like it's the same thing as a normal function it's actually very different algorithmic-ally speaking as you can include a lot of low level optimizations which is really what async code is all about — getting rid of that IO waiting.

I love async python but after working with it for better half of a year now it is often a bit tiring as you've pointed out. It feels a bit like a patch to the language rather than a feature even with the newest 3.9 version.

Btw you might like https://trio.readthedocs.io which makes asyncio much more bearable!

That is hardly a good explanation to avoid scientific research.

One of the eras of extreme racial stereotyping happened when there was very little knowledge about the genetic science.

>It just feels wrong to buy anything new from Apple with "Intel Inside" - when they're clearly going to dump it soon,

I'd be very surprised if Apple Silicon is going to be competitive against the Xeons in their highest end machines any time soon, so they'll be bound to supporting Intel at the OS level for the foreseeable future. They've basically said as much. I suspect you should be able to get about 5 years, at least, before they start phasing things out.

Several app developers on both iOS and Android have used Dark Sky's API for weather data for a while now, but like Android support, that's going away.

There should be at least one mid-range machine coming out early, so that the developers have really a machine they can work on. Also, Apple needs to demonstrate that they can make some powerful CPUs beyond what they do already for the iPhone and iPad. So the rumor of the smaller MB Pro sounds plausible, the 16" would be migrated in a second generation of Apple Silicon, likewise the large iMacs and the Mac Pro.

There's a pandemic on. The entire world has cabin fever and is cranky as all hell.

This is not a good time to make sweeping policy changes in reaction to people being cranky and mildly ill-behaved in their voting patterns.

Trying to make systemic changes to address this is how the world becomes more draconian. It doesn't become more civilized when you double down on "All y'all assholes better behave, damn it."

During crisis times in my life, when the kids were spazzing, my answer was usually "Go to bed and get some sleep. You're tired and cranky and we can discuss this tomorrow after you've slept."

Being more hard-line controlling instead of kind and compassionate and wise is the usual answer in situations like this. It's also the wrong answer and one of the reasons we've inherited so much crap from the past.

All stores have the power to choose what products they ship.

As a developer I want a store where someone is investing in the safety and security of the ecosystem.

IMHO they should build some hysteresis into their cost structure, so when something much better has just crashed in price, they can install that much better thing even though they may have contracted their parts inventory at a higher price. They can eat the cost difference in order to deliver a better machine to the customer. It will be made up in time. For example, over a year ago (maybe two?) I was able to buy a 1 TB SSD, top speed available at the time, and a top brand, for just over $100, retail. They probably plan out their costs ahead of time, so they may have considered the equivalent to be a $200 part. Ignoring the fact that they don't pay retail, they could eat the $100 difference on paper, because future inventory will cost them even less. Sure prices go up sometimes too, but the general trend is down for tech as we know. Not sure why they are so stingy with putting the best into their products when I have the dollar cost amounts in front of me and they are not that high. /rant
