Yeah, I like that. Or fractional_ratio. With part_ratio tho I'm still not sure which part... (the lesser or greater than 1) part. But I like it because it's shorter. Frac_ratio feels like cheating a bit.

But I guess a number that's always between 0 and 1 is an integer reciprocal. But again that's probably getting too deep for this.

I guess another way is UnitIntervalPoint or ProperFraction

I guess in Java we don't have to choose

FractionalPartRatioForAccuracyNormalized hehehe

I suppose we could make up a word

bition, or bitum

anabit or cobit - analog bit (continuous on 0 to 1)

proratio - proper ratio

Making up a word seems easier than the rest because it's more concise. :)
Oh, right! I was obvi missing something simple. You’re right, my b: they only relay to a few services so it’s keep their costs low.

I guess I’m just so conditioned to think about video going direct to consumer that I missed that.

That doesn’t matter when everyone else you iMessage with has their (on by default!) non-e2e iCloud device backups enabled.

Your entire chat history plaintext gets made available to the feds without a warrant anyway, regardless of the settings on your own device—the plaintext escrow then happens on the device at the other end of the conversation pair.

Apple does not care about your privacy. There was a plan to fix this glaring what-amounts-to-a-backdoor in iMessage encryption, but they cancelled it to avoid crossing the FBI.

The Reuters reporting on the matter cited six sources.
I think that would make sense, because time seems to speed up as you get older, so if you think only a minute has passed when it was actually 2.5 minutes it would definitely feel like time had gone much more quickly than anticipated
Although I say repeatedly that each 'lesson' has about two hours work in it I worry that were lessons available, students will just skim though the whole lot "in one go".

I also believe that 'forcing' students to ssh in daily for a month gets a bit of muscle-memory working, and proves that they have the required stickability. (The initial paid version reported such things back to their employer!)

In fact, all lessons are available via Github, but I try to avoid pointing this out :-)

I really wanted a good discussion forum, and I'm not a great fan of much of the classic forum software. While Reddit gets a good bit of stick for some of it's subreddits, if you pick those you visit well the content can be very good - and the upvoting etc works pretty well imho.

[Edit: added comment on stickability]

Currently, Nano is like Bitcoin in terms of privacy. So Nano is not private. However, the Nano devs are interested in adding privacy, if possible. This quote is supposedly from Colin LeMahieu in 2017

"I love the concept of privacy in the network and it's a hard thing to do right. Any solution used would need to be compatible with our balance-weighted-voting method which means at least we'd have to know how much weight a representative has even if we're hiding actual account balances. To be fully anonymous it would have to be hide accounts, amounts, endpoints, and also timing information; with advanced network analysis the timing is the hardest thing to hide. Hopefully some day we can figure out an efficient privacy solution though the immediate problem we can solve is making a transactional cryptocurrency so we're focusing on that." [1]

This means that it's tougher to be running such a company at this stage. All initial fairy tale is over. Now every day the company will be scrutinized by someone, be it shareholders, customers or even your own employees. There is now less room for error hence less room to be bold and take chances.

Is it? There's nothing in this disclosure that says they were fishing. It just says they identified the searches. It's entirely conceivable they had referer logs from the Guccifer site showing hits from Google at specific times and subpoenaed all correlated searches. Law enforcement being able to retrieve this kind of information when it's part of a legitimate criminal investigation is good. The worst nightmare is that broad powers get abused but in this case they caught the right guy.

This is because the introduction of Chinese characters also brought with it the introduction of many Chinese loan words which were then adapted to the sound system of Korean (ditto for Japanese). However, words that already existed in native Korean and Japanese were simply assigned 漢字 (Hanzi/Kanji/Hanji) based on their meanings -- this is one of the reasons why in Japanese, Kanji usually have many more readings than the corresponding Chinese Hanzi (Japanese adopted the Chinese onyomi, but they also had to have their own kunyomi readings which were just reverse-engineered based on the existing Japanese word and the assigned Kanji writing).
I just recently was introduced to Tim Pool. I don’t think I fully understand his agenda but he for sure has one. This election will certainly be contentious, but this prediction seems designed to inflame and promise that it’s impossible for any actor to be trustworthy and all systems will fail. Which is maybe true, but fear mongering like this is profitable and dangerous.

Yeah, I noticed. And hopefully by the time the 2nd version comes, they'll have understood who they're selling these to... or there'll be alternatives.
You're shifting claims, originally we were just talking about whether it was an "outlet for state level actors." It's deeply enmeshed with government organizations at all levels.

Moreover, I've never said that was a bad thing, in fact I've argued against it. There are plenty of these all over the world and I take what everybody says with a grain of salt and look at the evidence presented rather than the opinions given.
It’s in the quote, except for “to journalists” which is in the article I pulled the quote from. I suppose I could have included the next two sentences.
I would argue that the manipulation of the interactions of geological & solar radiation systems is orders of magnitude less unpredictable than manipulating intentionally manipulating living systems on a living planet.
I'm surprised at the references to OKRs as a part of performance reviews. Yes, OKRs have elements of focusing and measuring progress, but they are also about encouraging people to be ambitious and communicating intent.

It's generally accepted that using them for performance reviews is a bad thing because it encourages people to be conservative and create hackable key results.
Ah, I have always associated Bacon with the scientific method and was not aware of the wider program he developed.

But I still do not see my comment as irrelevant. Would Bacon have been able to develop his program without learning from the efforts of scientists who worked to apply the scientific method in the real world?
What's the latest on a cheap, small board where you can run linux, with BLE & WiFi 2.4/5GHz?

There's plenty of embedded devices for iot, from arduino to all others. But 100% of the iot I have in my apartment are actually powered and don't need a batter/extremely low consumption. I much rather enjoy the flexibility of running linux (or android) vs flashing a firmware.

Before hangul was invented, there were several uses of Chinese characters for written communication that differed significantly from Chinese imperial use, including a form that encoded Korean sounds and another one that used Chinese as a base symbology, but reworked the grammar to align with Korean. Both were quite unintelligible to the average literate Chinese reader.
I guess my point is not that engineers should be exempt from being held accountable for their work, but that engineers are frequently asked to do things incorrectly/poorly/negligently and then assessed by their employers for their willingness to comply. Sure, you can say "Just stand up to your employer", but that's an incredibly dismissive stance on a complicated issue. Yes, you should say no to requirements that are flat out illegal, but is it ever that cut and dry? I'd be surprised to find it was ever that simple.
Same thing for students. There will be a cohort that's a ~year behind where they should be in most skills. It'll also be interesting to see what happens with students who were under-tested; some will advance when they're not ready, and for things like college admissions, between fewer standardized tests and noisier grades, I'm not sure how colleges that want quality students will maintain their standards.
I use this to stream to YouTube and Twitch at the same time. It works well.
Because the pandemic is forcing literally _everybody_ to work their tails off to figure out how to make remote work succeed. Once managers master that (and they will because they have no choice), it's a tiny, tiny jump to offshoring.

No one is forcing you. However, it's language that has historically been used to hurt people, so it helps to avoid it if you want to avoid bringing back those memories for people.

When I get called a fag, it reminds me of all the times I got my ass kicked for how I present myself. I won't force people to stop saying it, but I'll mention it and won't associate with them if they don't stop.
This is the correct and sane response. Otherwise, everyone thinks they are financial geniuses, until they lose their shirts.
> So I see his position as against the transfer of wealth

That would be consistent with his previous writings on the topic. He doesn't necessarily seem to be against all taxation that results in some transfer of wealth away from the rich, especially, I suspect through inheritance. Someone who believes founding startups are an important way humanity's wealth increases is likely to be hesitant about anything that might put the brakes on that process; a wealth tax would diminish the incentive for smart people to go all-in on high-risk high-reward ideas.

> aren't as decentralized as claimed

This is a vague notion that doesn't make any sense. The purpose of the design of Bitcoin was not to give equal representation to every CPU. It is to prevent undue interference in transactions by third parties. And by that measure Bitcoin is definitely decentralized enough.

To do anything nefarious you need at least 51% of hash power and to not care that you are damaging the integrity of the blockchain, and even then you can't steal from or rewrite the blockchain - you can only prevent future transactions from going through.

In some ways I see this as a downside. Despite how many years the RPi has been a thing, the drivers for it still aren't fully upstreamed to the Linux kernel, and the device tree in mainline is very different from that in the RPi Foundation's kernel fork.

The RPi-specific userspace bits are just (in the past year or so) starting to become more standard (like moving the stuff in /opt/vc to standard system locations, having a normal kernel headers package).

I don't want a specially-built OS just for one piece of hardware. I want to run stock Debian, with a stock kernel. And yes, I can do that, but as you hit at, the experience is sometimes lacking (for a while I couldn't get sound to work with stock Debian).

I've been looking at some of the RPi workalike boards that run Armbian... I haven't dug into it yet to evaluate the quality of Armbian, but I at least like the overall approach of having one OS that can support different chipsets and boards.
Yep. Police Forces really need to reform these silly baseless psuedo-science ideas.
Part of the reason for students being unable to install an os or get a network to work is because CS degrees now equal a lot of money, and the people that tinkered with computers all through childhood often lose their places to the kids that spent their time studying how to get into a good university, instead of studying how to do things with computers.

There is a glaring legal disconnect with popular web services, where they are not responsible for the content you post, yet the content does not really belong to you, for if it did belong to you, the service would have no right to give it up to police, that information being your property. This double standard allows tech giants to profit precisely at the expense of our fundamental rights. For further proof, ask yourself why they can arbitrarilly censor users despite claiming no responsibility for that content, because "they can do what they want with their platform". It is one or the other: they act like tbey own and are responsible for content, but without the legal ramifications of that reaponsibility.
> For the small company CEO who relies on force of personality and everyone in the same room urgently working to get something done, WFH might be terrible.

I’d argue that this not working is a good thing. “Force of personality” isn’t a scalable thing, it tends to inexorably tie a company to the failings of one person, and easily transitions into a cult of personality.
That's why I liked Google so much: you don't have to "suck up" to anybody. If things aren't working out, figure out what you'd like to do instead and 2 weeks later you're working on that, if they have spots on the team and would like your help. You may be asked to stay a bit longer, say 6 weeks, but the process is very non-confrontational. It's not like that for junior people, though - if you're junior you have to stay in your position for at least a year, which IMO is dumb - people who work there have no problems finding employment elsewhere. It should never be harder to move within the company than _outside_ the company.
They are not without their detractors - part of it is they take on difficult work, some of which hasn't seen serious translator attention for a while. Personally, I find the results poor but obviously lots of people like them.

Chekhov's short stories are an English translator's nightmare though - there's a reason he's much more famous as a playwright in the English-speaking world.
I can't believe sites think it's acceptable to do that. I get it, algorithms like Bcrypt have a size limit. But there are reasonably secure ways to get around that, for instance using HMAC to Sha256 the password before Bcrypting it.

Or better yet, pick one of the other algos with better limits and protection like Argon2 or Scrypt.
A close analog to the place Chinese has with Koreans and Japanese speakers is the place ancient Latin and Greek have today with English speakers. Lots of loan words, many of which aren't even recognized as such by native speakers, and uses in prestige modes like philosophy, science, etc.

One difference is that Rome fell and the Normans brought a highly changed Romance language with them into England. While Korea and China had an ongoing relationship going back millennia. As Chinese changed over time different words from different eras also crept in to the language.

On top of that, Korean itself also changed, harmonized dialects, dropped and added sounds and features and other things. The Korean written in the first book on Hangul by King Sejong the Great is both not only not pronounceable by modern Koreans, but less understandable than Chaucer might be to modern English speakers.

I disagree. Time zone, communication, and cultural familiarity are still factors.

Practically speaking if you’re an American dev, your biggest competition isn’t someone from Ukraine or India, but rather a fellow American that’s moved to Iowa.
Take all the west European languages and how they're littered with loan words from Roman Latin or from French/Spanish/Italian which are descended from Latin. Now imagine if French/Spanish/Italian were all still called Latin and the Roman empire existed into the modern era. That's the influence Sinitic has on East Asian languages.

I understand. "That's gay" was popular enough recently enough that I have some tolerance. I still bring it up though and don't appreciate if it's an ongoing problem they aren't trying to address (or are pretending to try to address).

Fag on the other hand I have very little tolerance for. It's a nasty enough word you don't really drop it accidentally unless you use it regularly in some communities (lots of gamers for instance).
We thought saving the Ozone Layer by switching from CFCs to HFCs was a good idea.

Joke's on us! The HFCs currently in use in systems worldwide, if vented and not carefully incinerated, will trap as much heat as all the CO2 in the atmosphere, for centuries.

Specify propane or ammonia systems, and make sure existing systems have their fluid extracted professionally.

A court case in the judicial branch does not in any way speak to the difficulty of enacting legislation the legislative branch. Our system of government intentionally separates the creation of laws from their interpretation.

It’s really not that complicated. If sufficient political will existed to enact stronger clearer privacy protections, legislation would be drafted and approved rapidly, and there is no reason Generating that political will is another matter.
Adding columns can be hard at scale. MongoDB allows you to add columns incrementally without stopping the world. You just add the value and it's materialized in the DBMS. The point is you don't have to manually define schema but instead the database works with the structure of the data.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool RDBMS user but I can see the value of this feature. The trade-off, of course, is that your application has to handle varying schema levels. MongoDB also won't protect you against typos, inconsistent types, and other foolishness. I would not judge people who choose to make this trade--it's a sensible one for many use cases.

Many analytic databases are headed in this direction due to the amount of data that arrives in the form of nested JSON structures. I can't speak for other DBMS types but it's something we're very interested in for ClickHouse.
More likely we will fall to what we thought we knew that was not, in fact, true.

I’ve played with this recently in setting up a shared netboot server with Debian for my pile of ARM SBCs (I really should write up that blog post...). The upstream kernel’s device trees are different from the ones supplied by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, with some slightly different names for devices, and basically no easy way to use overlays. Other than that minor obstacle, it’s perfectly doable to build up your own image with debootstrap and chroot with 100% Debian repositories (or go the easy way and download one of the prebuilt images [0]). You do still need the closed-source blobs (bootcode.bin, start.elf, fixup.dat) for boot though, which are made available in the non-free repo.

The 4’s hardware support is still being merged upstream last I heard though, so the easy way for that is still to use the Foundation’s kernel (which is what Ubuntu does, probably to also make overlays work as expected).

Um...you're missing the point.

It's fine to truncate the password (though ideally you don't do it at a super short length).

The issue you are replying to is referring to when a site doesn't do it for both account creation and login. Which is a bug. A stupid, hard to detect, hard to explain, likely never to be fixed, bug. That only affects people trying to be secure.
