Ages ago in Poland we had those chutes as well in big apartment buildings. On top of the smell, there were also impossible-to-eradicate ants and cockroaches living in those chutes. They were eventually locked. I wonder how the pneumatic tunes deal with the pest problem.

not 100% sure but it kind of looks like copper's Whole Deal™ are "object-functions" (closures?) and you use colons to get an object function's return value. something like this

adder = [a b]{ ret(this.a + this.b) }
x = adder(3 5)
print(x.a x.b x:) # 3 5 8

> 113. The only constructive theory connecting neuroscience and psychology will arise from the study of software.

This is really interesting. I haven't ventured into neuroscience (yet) but I've been "practicing" psychology (I'm not an SME; I'm just observing, introspecting and thinking about the thing) and I've found the two (software + psychology) to be well connected. For instance, when it comes to designing the UI/UX, you _need_ to have an (intuitive) understanding of the psychology underlaying the design.
Make an app with the colours on. People download the app and enter a code to join the audience. You count the colour selections reported by the app not from a picture. You can still get them to hold up the colours because sometimes you can tell at a glance the most common colour.
There's no simple slam-dunk on either side of this issue, but I was a bit surprised that some of the more common arguments that I've heard in favor of kernel networking didn't get mentioned.

The #1 reason I've heard is features. When you use the kernel stack you have a dizzying array of protocols, congestion-control algorithms, and other features available to you. You have all sorts filtering and rerouting and rate-control features, from old iptables to netfilter and eBPF. There's all sorts of familiar monitoring. User-space stacks never duplicate all of this, nor should they. They should support their own use cases, no more, but that means there will still be a lot of people who are better off with the kernel stack.

The #2 reason I've heard is that the kernel stack is known to work in a broad variety of environments. User-space stacks are often used in constrained environments where the device only has to communicate in certain ways with certain peers across a certain network topology. The kernel stack is known to work in a vast array of combinations simultaneously with less need for local debugging. There are also security aspects here. For example, a good TCP/IP stack will have features to mitigate DoS attacks both inbound and outbound, whereas some user-space stacks do things like "forget to implement" proper congestion control so they can DoS others. Whatever vulnerabilities do exist in the kernel stack tend to become known and fixed rather quickly. In your user-space stack? Good luck.

I'm not actually arguing that more people should use the kernel stack. There are plenty of good reasons to go the other route when appropriate. I'm just trying to present arguments I've seen and which should be considered when making that choice. The OP seems to look at things from a bit of a "single machine, single purpose" POV, which naturally skews the outcome toward user-space stacks, but in an era of virtualization and containers we need to consider multi-purpose machines as well.
I have spent some time testing it, it is useless. Maybe it's accurate if you're not doing controlled breathing. I haven't had someone else watch me and compare. (I am also a trained vocalist and do a fair amount of yoga, it might be that it's only accurate for people with minimal breath training, or people with more exercise-focused breath training.)
Or to create a more direct comparison, it would be like Netflix distributing content inside the Xfinity OnDemand app and using Comcast’s streaming platform to do it, and paying Comcast a percentage of the revenue.

Which is exactly how Xfinity OnDemand works.

Apple’s creation, development, and control of the App Store is akin to Comcast’s Xfinity OnDemand. They are both retail stores owned, operated and curated by their private enterprise creators in order to sell some first party but mostly third-party content.

Their profit was $1.5B last year. $41M is less than 3% of that. Not nothing, for sure. But the GDPR allows for up to what, 4% of revenue? Their revenue was $24.3B. That would have been $970M in fines then. H&M got a slap on the wrist. Just like all the other companies before them.
> but the average rating is a measure of popularity

Not quite? Mulholland drive for example, was widely praised by critics and is remembered fondly by film nerds, but is not in most senses “popular”.

I’m not arguing that ratings are perfect, I largely agree with you; just that they’re a weird measurement and not one largely of popularity.
Dopamine isn’t a simple 1-dimensional axis that moves up or down with drug use. There are many different pathways that use dopamine as their signaling molecule. Some dopamine receptors are involved in recording positive events, while other dopamine pathways record negative events.

The role of dopamine as an answer to all things reward or motivation is greatly exaggerate in the pop-neuroscience articles online. Doing nearly anything goal-oriented or even remotely rewarding is associated with dopaminergic activity.

People also tend to overlook the fact that the stimulants used in ADHD treatment also have significant norepinephrine activity which contributes to their pharmacological effects. Purely dopaminergic drugs often aren’t as energizing as you’d expect. In fact, selective dopamine agonist medications can induce narcolepsy-like symptoms where patients struggle to stay awake due to the complex nature of dopamine activity in the brain.

In your case, it’s possible that you’re naturally motivated but THC is causing disinhibition to override whatever is preventing you from being productive (anxiety). THC is also known for making boring tasks feel interesting, but it’s also known for decreasing motivation and making people feel like they’re accomplishing a lot more than they really are. In other words, it’s not a solution to anything. You’d be well served to spend some time exploring this with a psychiatrist or two.

I would argue that an App Store, on mobile has helped avoid virus, and malware on phones, unlike how Windows was able to contain it. Having a trusted App Store by a company, who understands security, and has a financial backing to commit to a secure system, is beneficial all the way down.

This is a really good point! I'd say that the process is a reflection of the environment and the work.

My environment is focused on supporting/enhancing/fixing the commercial ERP system that we use to run our business. There's room for creativity, but at the end of the day it's still about supporting a relatively boring HR/Financial system. Technology is not our core business, but we do invest in it in order to better execute on our core business.

Some people thrive working on these systems and in this type of environment, but others would be bored to tears.

If it does work as a reverse filter like you suggest, I lose out on a really good developer, but the really good developer avoids taking a job that he'd find soul destroying. Overall, that's probably a win.
You really don't have to control though. Information itself is enough in the most part. As you said, Google already knows, but it has it's own procedure in fulfilling government requests. With the information directly in the hands of the government, that barrier is gone.
I haven’t looked up their gross profit, but https://www.statista.com/statistics/252191/profit-of-the-h-u...: “In 2019, the global operating profit of the H&M Group was about 1.8 billion U.S. dollars.”

⇒ it’s about 2% of their global profits, for something some they did in Germany. Reading https://www.statista.com/statistics/252187/sales-of-the-hund..., it seems their German revenues are about 20% of global revenues, so I would guess it’s about 10% of their profits made in Germany.
OT, but has “tools” become a normalised suffix for anyone else? It took me a second parse at the title — after wondering for longer than I’d like to admit at what “s-tools” were — to realise it’s referring to furniture.

>> To reduce the entire company down to "a joke" because you ran into a bug once is just rude and dismissive.

It depends on the software and its purpose. Signatures are very serious business. They carry with them enormous legal weight and not getting them 100% right can have massive repercussions. Therefore, it’s all about trust. So then the question becomes, if trivial bugs like this were not caught during QA, what else must have slipped through?
The Xbox One also deterred myself from even needing to look at hacking it, by allowing me to run my own code on it (with restricted functionality to be fair).

> Worrying about whether or not you’re in violation of a feel-good policy and constantly monitoring yourself for slipups takes a mental toll. More than two decades of research suggests that thought suppression, or trying to stifle your initial impulses in favor of something else, can result in mental strain and may also impair other types of thinking—memory, self-control, problem solving, motivation, perceptiveness. When we are actively monitoring ourselves, our mental energy for other things suffers. The result is not only a less-than-positive work environment but also workers who are less-than-optimally productive. In other words, it’s bad business.

Hilariously anti competitive licensing agreements that companies like Google require for example. All the large phone manufacturers are required to preinstall Googles software on any Android they sell and give it preferential treatment, selling an Android phone without would be a Play Store license violation in the U.S. . Market pressure against Google Play would have to be gigantic to get them to completely abandon their existing product lines.

There’s no such thing as magical unused energy that for the first time in history can only be harnessed thanks to the magic of blockchain. You can colocate so many useful things with power supplies, like electric metalworks.

The mining incentive structure and automatic deoptimization of the algorithm mean that there’s a constant arms race to build faster hashing hardware that lasts a few months and then gets thrown out without improving the performance characteristics of the underlying system. 7 transactions per second costs 620kWh and yields 107g of garbage. Each pair of transactions is like chucking your phone out the window and powering a home for 45 days. Do you see how shameful that is?

A Tesla gets 4 miles per kWh, so each pair of transactions - where you scribbled down an IOU into a big multiplayer excel sheet - consumes as much resources as driving round-trip across the United States and throwing your iPhone out when you get back.

The crazy thing is there's frequently a big overlap between the crypto enthusiasts and people who you know, believe in global warming and recycling.

> And again, nobody is looking for other things just for the sake of proving that something else can use less energy because there isn't a problem.

And I bet global warming isn't real either huh? I mean those oil companies aren't looking for alternative sources of energy because there isn't a problem.

The reality is economic incentives beat rationality pretty much every time hands down.
The good news is that you don’t need to. In fact, these articles tend to give people a false feeling of understanding, and an impression that ADHD is purely a chemical situation in the brain that can only be treated with drugs.

That’s not really true. Medication can absolutely help for severe cases, but falling into the trap of thinking that ADHD is a purely chemical problem that can only be addressed with chemical solutions can lead people to neglect the important lifestyle and self-discipline changes that will really help their situation in the long term.

Don’t get caught up in ideas that ADHD is “just dopamine”, because that’s a path to ignoring the fact that personal changes and therapy can improve ADHD immensely.

There is no 'free and open web,' that's long in the past now, to the extent it ever existed (for about 10-15 years in a limited form).

Which countries partake in this supposed free and open web? None.

There are dozens of separately regulated prominent webs now and that's going to get a lot worse this decade. We're never going back, nations are not going to give up the control they're assuming, it will splinter further and further; complexity will grow, accessing foreign markets will become more onerous. It'll gradually fully mirror the physical world, where if you want to travel to another nation, or do business in another nation (access their market), you will have to comply with all of their myriad of local regulations (which will continue to grow rapidly in number and complexity).

Nations will fence off their citizens online, and you will have to comply to access them. We're already seeing this directional shift in many nations, it will spread comprehensively.

Turkey's web is not regulated the same as India's web which is not regulated the same as China's web which is not regulated the same as the EU's web which is not regulated the same as Brazil's web which is not regulated the same as Australia's web which is not regulated the same as the US web which is not regulated the same as Britain's web and so on.
I don't read this as saying they'll prevent further breaches. It seems to be saying that they will improve compliance with data privacy regulation.
But it doesn't answer the question for what is the mainstream theory for what reality is. I'm starting to think that maybe there isn't one.

In my comment above I talked about applying security standards or backups, I see that forcing companies to have backups is more viable...

To better understand my point of view, read my example above and the comment of "luckylion ". Companies are simply not going to report because their intellectual property becomes more valuable than the ransom payment. This law does not mitigate anything, instead a backup regulation would mitigate the problem (because it would not be necessary to pay the ransom, if you need such explicit help to understand things).

I suspect that it won't end for a few reasons.

Even if a publisher does not believe in the shtick, they do not want library lending to become socially acceptable and easily accessible since it would erode the market of people who are willing and able to pay.

Another reason is that some markets are going to be more susceptible to lost revenue than others. It is possible that library lending represents a loss of revenue for popular authors who have no need of exposure or have easier access to other forms of exposure. Of course, this isn't always true. Many authors toil away in obscurity or serve niche markets, where the exposure is probably beneficial. The publishers who have popular authors have the greatest incentive to oppose library lending.

Measures are likely another issue. It is far easier to count lost sales (e.g. X% of lending) than it is to count sales from increased exposure. That X% of lending also makes it easier to calculate how much libraries should pay in order to generate similar revenues.

There are many ways the endpoints can be owned but not the data. One option common in healthcare is that the computers are dumb terminals for sessions on a remote server. Another is that to access the data you have to authenticate with a physical smart card.

As long as it's confirmed that the ransomware only attacked the endpoints and no active data exfil was attempted (or hasn't succeeded), the statement may be completely true.

Only in the load resistor. Electron flux in the graphene membrane appears to be solely due to geometry. This curvature does not necessarily need to be buckled via heat energy. It could be mechanical or electrical, if I understand things correctly...

I think what this research opens up is the possibility of "optimal" harvesting. There is some resonant frequency, some circuit configuration yet to be discovered that is perhaps self-sustaining. They've chosen "stochastic thermodynamical" circuits because its low hanging fruit. But it seems really exciting to me. Almost like a third class of energy production after solar and hydrogen (where 99% of research funds are allocated). Ocean wave energy harvesting perhaps?

In any case, congrats to the researchers on their painstaking hard work ;)

I live in Germany now, and when I search through the models on Amazon US, UK and DE I was only able to find one touchpad microwave that I could get here, and unfortunately it was capacitive :( I was pretty surprised at this change. I wonder what drives microwave UI patterns over time.

I looked at DPDK for our GCP instances. It seems a bit fussy and, from my understanding of it, requires a second VPC for the second network interface.

A bunch of years ago I ended up writing a userpsace C program to essentially split incoming UDP packets to multiple destinations. I could have probably done that with iptables or some such but partially this was a fun exercise in writing a small C program that did big things. The company I worked for relied on these UDP packets as they were a core part of our business and as we migrated from our platform version 1 to the newly developed version 2 we needed both systems to receive the same stream of data. My little program I called wedge did that really well, down to spoofing the sender’s IP address. This allowed us to make a seamless migration of a huge number of customers without any downtime.

I say all this because I highly recommend playing with Linux’s raw packet interface and learning the structure of IP packets to do so. You can really gleam a ton of interesting info about it that way. Writing your own TCP stack was outside of what I needed but even the comparatively much simpler task of routing UDP packets was really fun and rewarding.
