Exactly. It's my house. It's my behavior. These four walls are sacrosanct.

Imagine you are working from home or your kids are schooling from home, and you use the TV for meetings. Are they recording your presentation? Are pictures of your kids' classmates being fingerprinted and archived somewhere for correlation with all the other classmates?

There are levels of outrageousness here:

- Spying on TV through a purpose-built device: mildly annoying that every show and ad now has a tracking watermark that can be used surreptitiously, but voluntary Nielsen participation is just fine.

- Spying on an app you own: YouTube collecting aggregated watch times for videos is useful to creators to avoid reaching people who don't want to watch them. Netflix collecting in-house analytics is only mildly annoying because I don't know how individualized the data is, but aggregate stats are fine. Behavioral analysis of individuals is still creepy.

-Spying on all apps running on your software: Roku or a smart TV reporting what you watch in all apps is starting to approach unacceptable. Presumably appmakers know about this when they are making the apps, but a third party doesn't have the same checks and balances to make sure they aren't alienating users with creepy behavior. There is not a functioning market here because appmakers don't get a choice of how to reach users, because platform rentiers are claiming all of the users.

- Spying on arbitrary video files you watch through DLNA: not okay. My work-in-progress video productions and self-ripped discs are simply none of the TV makers' business.

-Spying on HDMI inputs: serious WTF. Like I can't even... WTF??? Who do they think they are?
I’ve been a full stack dev for about a decade. Well, kinda. I started primarily on the frontend, then gradually took on more and more backend responsibilities (and interests), until I hadn’t done any frontend work for several years.

That transition began right around the time that React (and similar libraries) really started to take off. I came to very much like the general philosophy of React, but very seldom worked with it.

Until earlier this year, when I decided to build a documentation site for a library I had built. So I looked around to see what the state of the art was. I knew I wanted to build a static site.

After eliminating a variety of other options that didn’t suit my needs or preferences, the two technologies that stood out were Gatsby and Next.js. Gatsby, at the time, seemed to have a bit more momentum, so I tried it out first. It’s been several months, so I don’t recall many of the particulars, but the DX was awful. It took me very little time to determine that I would not enjoy working with Gatsby, particularly over the long term.

So I tried Next.js. And my experience was pretty much the opposite! The defaults were sane, I was able to get productive immediately, and overriding defaults to support a fairly unusual set of requirements and preferences was almost always trivial. Where I had to interact with some of the more complex underlying technologies (why even is webpack???), I was always able to find examples of what I wanted to achieve... and they were always clear and correct!

Since that time, I’ve followed Next.js releases, and while I haven’t yet had another web project this year, I’ve continually been impressed with its progress.

I likely have another web project coming up pretty soon, and I have no doubt that I can skip the “pick a technology” research phase.
Anything anyone enjoys doing is no better than drug addiction?
I couldn’t remember such a thing as MIN_INTEGER and what if someone changes the data type?

Why not assume the first element is the max and start your search from the second. Ah, dam. Now you have to check that your vector has at least one element.

It ain’t easy.

The article is indeed garbage.

It smells like there's actually some interesting research being done here using graphene to extract energy from the ambient environment (possibly harvesting the work done as the graphene expands during hearing?) but the press release was written by someone who does not understand the subject at all.

SLOs for Open Source
I see strong parallels in the rent market now and from 2001 when the dot com crash bottomed out.[1]

I also see this as strong support for the 'if you want more affordable housing, build more housing' because clearly at least 15% of the cost of rents was being supported by excess demand over the current supply. I expect this trend will go down further as new apartments that have been built come on the market over the next 18 months.

[1] In that case it was jobs going away, these days it is just permanent work from home means you can work from somewhere that is much more affordable.
Been on little holidays in Weymouth, Dorset. It has a big bay sheltered from the rough sea. 5 Big Ships parked in there, each empty of passengers but fully lit-up each night, running off power from their engines, i guess is cheaper for them than using shore-power.

Putting apps on Samsung's Galaxy Store gives developers access to the 893 million Samsung smartphone users[1] who have the app installed by default, so an ever stronger case can be made for it than the government's proposed app store. Yet it does not have anywhere close to the same number of apps or devs.

Somewhat tangentially, if you’re starting a new project with either, and you intend to use TypeScript, and you suspect you may want to swap out React for something roughly API compatible (e.g. Preact), I highly recommend exploring that early on in the project. While Preact is largely API compatible, their respective static types are much less compatible than I would have expected.
DefectDojo: Open-Source Application Security Management
I looked into using Hugo and some other SSGs and eventually decided to hack together my own minimal version in Python.

It doesn't do much, it doesn't handle Markup (because that's not how I want to work), and it probably took less time than really mastering someone else's SSG.
>In fact, they usually think the software is a result of their tax dollars at work

That's amazing. Perhaps it's reality that's wrong.
Have you been following the events of this year's Hacktoberfest?
As a simple solution, you could poll `/proc/<pid>/net/dev` and calculate it yourself (from the difference of the total received bytes between two polls).

`nethogs` is also useful.

If you'd like to do something more specialized, you could build something with a couple of lines in `bpftrace`, but you'll have to put in more work there if you're not familiar with it.

The book "BPF Performance Tools" by Brendan Gregg is a good introduction there. Of course, for a simple overview, that would be way overkill, though :)
Except cruise ships are essential to countries like Finland or Norway. The tickets are reasonable priced only because of cruise passengers, tax-free booze and gambling. Especially Hurtigruten of Norway seems to be financed mostly by American Tourists, while providing essential coastal ferry service. And Finland is basically an island, as it is impossible to establish reliable routes through Russia, because local robber parons invent constantly new rules and taxes.
I never made such a claim, explicitly or implicitly. I think you’re projecting an argument.

Because Apple is going to prove TSMC is capable of building x86 destroying processors. Not in theory. Not academic or institutional one offs... no, it’ll be mass-produced and in the hands of consumers.

Intel’s failure to get their fabs running has put them into a death spiral unless they pull off a miracle.

Also, if Apples ARM chips are really that fast they will be purchased by the shipload to be sent to performance critical operations like HFT. They will be put into servers or turned into them to squeeze and eek out every possible advantage... which will shit on intels most profitable lines (Xeons for single threaded workloads).

It’s gonna be a crazy time.
Can we also get alternative app stores please?
This thread is talking about apps with poor/no privacy policies on alternative stores.
My point is that _some_ users don't need to "just get used to it" at all since it's part of what they are already used to.

I'm not trying to convince you that you're wrong, just that you're not representative of all users. Your arguments are heavily biased by your age/experience. Young people matter too, right?
It is a strange topic because cellular life is entirely about lipid bi-membranes and associated control of wet and dry nano-environments. For instance put the right proteins into a membrane and you can store energy in a proton gradient and convert it to A.T.P -- that's a mitochondrion.

Particularly in places like the nose, lungs, intestines and such, whatever thin layer of material is on the surface of your body is involved in innate immunity, inflammation, gas exchange, and other functions.

It is funny though that surfactants in the form of soap are a powerful guard against infectious disease simply by breaking dangerous organisms loose from their biofilms and washing them down the drain.

Hi, we should be careful with the feature you are talking about. The results from all machine learning algorithm can be very misleading and probably some models will overfit the data.

So, if you throw some data and fit all machine learning models on it and then compare the performance. You will probably receive misleading values since different models require different tuning approaches. It's not as easy as you said it, you can't just feed data (also depends on the data) to models and expect to get the best model at the output.

One approach I can think of here is to integrate cross validation and hyperparameter tuning with your suggestion. However, I can imagine that this can be computationally expensive. I will take it into consideration as an enhancement for the tool. Thanks for your feedback
I agree. This is the answer to the question posed in the title of the article.

Assange pissed off the American left when he gave the appearance of supporting Trump. I would guess he pissed off a lot of people outside of America because most liberal leaning people seem to dislike Trump. Those same people are the ones that would normally be outraged by something like this but don't care anymore.
The libertarian argument is a fever dream.

There will be no wild west. If you're in India, you will be using the Indian government approved service. In China, you will be using Chinese government approved services. In Africa, you will be using ECOWAS, EAC, or SADC approved services. In Brazil, you will be using.. well, you get the idea.

Material point being, none of these services will be made by developers outside of those regions. There will be no wild west, what's forming up is very much the opposite of the wild west. It is governmental control with radical reach. Worse, it's forming up to be balkanized governmental control with radical reach.

Wait, are you saying that C is 50 times faster than Go? I find that very hard to believe. I could buy 3-4 times faster, especially if the C code is vectorized and the Go code is not, but 50-100x seems unrealistic IMO. Do you have any benchmarks to back up your claim?
Thanks for your feedback. Stay tuned, we are working on an integrated gui tool written in python too.
Is burning bunker fuel at sea really a big problem? My understanding is that the impurities (sulphur mostly) in bunker fuel are bad for people to breathe and create smog, so they shouldn't be burned around population centres. The main greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, and you produce roughly the same amount of that per watt of power no matter what hydrocarbon you burn.
If the device wasn’t connected to the global telephone network then you’d have a point. Mobile carriers and governments have never allowed just “anything“ installed on phones.

> I think the concern is it didn't evolve naturally.. it evolved to this configuration due to the whims of a few companies in strong monopoly positions.

What’s “natural?” Markets are not created by god, they’re created by customers. Apple didn’t build the most successful product line in history because of monopoly practices - they built it because customers wanted it. And, Apple isn’t a monopoly by any historical definition of the term. Google is one in search and have tried to parlay that into Android. Illegally? We will see.

> Believing that we have the best solution available is again, a bit disconcerting.

I don’t claim we have the best solution available, I claim that government regulation of app stores or forced disaggregation of app stores would make the current situation far worse.

Want a better situation? Build a new and better ecosystem. It wasn’t even 6 years ago that Apple and iPhone and iPad was declared dead by most pundits, about to get trammelled by Samsung and Chinese Android makers. Now we want government to turn them into a utility? These decisions and laws take decades.

> The government won. Then the next administration basically vacated the actions against them. People care.

There was a second consent decree. It arguably didn’t really matter, because the next generation was mobile.

And I’m sure some people care about Microsoft’s continued dominance of PCs, but not enough to convince a government to do anything about it.

The same likely goes with iOS and Android. I see a lot of devs/publishers complaining and not a lot of users.

A lot of the information a user who owns an account can see is not visible to the public. I don't see why being on Grindr in 2020 would be a blackmail risk IN COUNTRIES WHERE BEING GAY IS LEGAL.
> Don’t grovel, but also acknowledge that the only compensation the reader of the report is likely to get is in the form of these extremely rare moments of gratitude.

As I write elsewhere, this is a fundamentally flawed mindset. A high quality bug report is the reader's compensation. It's a goddamned gift. The presumption that the reporter is a leech and the recipient is the one being leeched is exactly what's wrong in the culture.

Consider this: You post your project. I'm not in the target demographic. But because I come from the culture epitomized in Shirky's Here Comes Everybody, and not the fucked up culture of the GitHub generation, where 999 times out of 10 you only reach out to someone because you're trying to get something from them, I decide take the time and give it a look anyway. Going into this, I already have nothing to gain. So I do look at it, and I spot a bug. I file a bug report with steps to reproduce. This is a contribution to the project, its maintainer, and whoever uses it. Do something with it, or don't. But no matter how you respond, I will get nothing out of it. To flip things around in a Costanza-like attempt to grab the upper hand is... anti-social.

This isn't to say that leeches don't exist. But muggers also exist. And yet, the fact that muggers exist is not a good reason to go around socking people in the mouth when they approach you and start speaking.

>Yes, if you assume that your keys are going to be arbitrarily long inputs.

No, it only requires that they lengthen enough to be distinct for the keyspace size. The problem arises not from arbitrarily big keys but from the fact that, whatever your keys are, if want a longer output of the hash function, you have to do more computations on the keys.
Any io_uring performance tests after all of the work that has been done?

Apple has a similarly onerous history of monopoly action - watch what you wish for, you may get it.
Unless something has changed radically since MacOS Server failed, Apple would either need to do massive software engineering of a sort that they are unfamiliar with or they would need to use a different OS entirely to have a credible cloud offering. Mac OS is unlikely to be able to compete with Linux or FreeBSD in the near future even if the CPU is magically better.
> But WikiLeaks did lose a lot of support among Democrats

They never had any tangible support among mainstream Democrats, even of the progressive faction, so they had nothing to lose there; the only thing they had to lose—and contrary to your claims they did lose some (but not all, the left fringe isn't a unitary hive mind) was on the left fringe. I suppose you are probably mistaking concern for the content of the early leaks with support for Wikileaks, but those aren't even approximately the same thing.
Oh, TIL. I searched for some real zoological evidence, but found none.

Fun fact, my native language has no comparable idiom, although the phenomenon is very much present. We just call it "the mentality".
Wow! this is great! I didn't know that such a tool exists, thanks for posting it here. The python & AI community are moving really fast, it's crazy!

However, It looks like the ludwig tool is about deep learning and not ML, or am I wrong? It looks like there is no support for ML models or am I missing something

I didn't try it yet, I just read the get started section but looks really great for training deep neural networks.

What does the training practically entail?

Is it some kind of device on the head that you then learn to use with an on-screen app where you can get feedback on your "state" like meditation but with an interface?

I remember reading about this years ago and wondering when the tech would be available for use in-home.

Do you need to go to a professional clinic?
Linux packaging certainly is a mess.

I have 50+ "update-foo" scripts for programs that want me to use yet another package manager. Everything that doesn't use apt is in there, so many of them just run "pip install foo" or "npm install foo", at least this way I don't have to remember which program uses which package manager.

I used to be very adamant that if something did not have an apt repository then I wouldn't use it, but that's become hard to do. Even the piece of software I use the most, my browser, is not managed by apt. Firefox (developer edition) lives in ~/.local/lib and updates itself.
Finland is an island surrounded for 6 months with solid ice. Those cruise ships need to be ice-breakers too.

And Norways coastal roadway is 5 times longer than the coastal ferry. That is an environmental issue if anything.
Charles Schwab started offering free trades because their competitors all started offering free trades. There was a "fee war" a year or two ago where each brokerage lowered their fees in response to others lowering theirs.

>>>>Also, talks within the government indicate that it may ask Google and Apple to pre-install Indian App Store in all phones sold in India in near future. This particular request is likely to face counter from the American companies.
<<<<<<

THIS is the only time, I am more inclined to side with Chinese style of control. Sovereign nation out to decide what is good for their people. India is a chaotic democracy, but a function one. I will rather support my government's way of ensuring "Privacy and Security" than Apple's. We do have equally capable people over here. Slowly but surely, things move in positive direction. No need of dictation by any foreign multi-national.

The way Google banned PayTM for few hours, until they removed some of the features from the App, come-on, Indian Laws are good enough to decide what is legal / correct / etc. etc. This was a very visible case of an American company imposing "Their Policy" on things which only court / government should get to decide.

I am mostly IN with this proposal.

EDIT: I guess I used harsh words, but something definitely needs to be done with the current duopoly.
I like this idea. Do you have a source for a company that will do this? Or does it require a doctors office visit?
