HTTP also relies on a the filesystem abstraction, it doesn't stop web servers from presenting virtual versions.

The advantage that FTP has is ubiquitous and broad device support. FTP can provide the transport and authentication for a huge variety of devices and provide an instant user story of how to connect with older devices. Discovery and NAT traversal are external to the transport protocol anyway and would be just supporting _ftp._tcp records and the normal TURN/STUN servers.

> You know, coffee shops, restaurants, etc need to survive.

in general, yeah, but do the shops and restaurants that exist to serve downtown / office park workers need to survive? I'm not convinced that WFH changes the net demand for these services. if these businesses move away from places people commute to and move into places where people actually live, I would consider that an improvement. I'd much rather spend my food budget on happy hour at a local pub than a rushed 30 minute lunch.

I just bought a 3D printer, partly for fun, partly as I want to print some mechanical keyboard cases.

I've only printed a few things so far. Some board game tiles are perfectly smooth on the "top" (they were printed face down), and the very slight texture on the bottom makes a nice pattern when it reflects the light. The bottom texture is as coarse as a typical cotton fabric, but hard not soft. In other words, I can feel the texture, but it's even, like rubbing a pebble.

I also printed some chess pieces, which are essentially cylinders. The texture is visible, but completely consistent all the way up each piece.

If this battery door really does show the "limitation of an entry level 3D printer" then I'm very glad I spent a bit more money. I still know very little on this subject, but while choosing what to buy I found tutorials on building a printer from parts for €100 or so. This reminds me of the first print from something like that, before the expert showed how to correct the worst problems.

I think it's telling that conservatives seem to have shifted from sowing doubt regarding the very existence of climate change to now "there's no point, it's already too late!". The primary goal of status-quo remains.

Uhm, I don't think peoples primary concern about climate change is that it may hurt the economy somewhat?

that brings back memories of the school lab in the early 90s. didn't get enough time in the chair on a shared terminal to debug completely, so everyone printed to greenbar and would debug from there. i even got to the point of writing code on college ruled paper by hand, and then transcribing it once i got to the lab. taking typing early in high school definitely paid off. people made fun of me for being the only male student in the class, but i knew it would be a useful skill and put up with the jokes.

The federal government has a requirement by law (called Section 508) that requires agencies to provide people with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data. Agencies have teams whose sole job is to evaluate any software that is built or deployed meets accessibility standards.

No, the problem is that extremist content is a nonsense concept.

Specifically, there's no reliable way of determining whether content is "extremist content" because a lot of information that the political and religious extremes focus on is actually true information. It often these extreme views that provide unique insights and the most valuable information. So how - and moreover why - should Youtube try to sift through a physics lecture on metallurgy and attempt to differentiate it from a physics lecture on metallurgy.

There's often no way of knowing whether the lecture is being given by a college physics professor or a 9/11 truther, except by examining the contents - and both might be telling the truth. Heck the college physics professor could be a 9/11 truther and the truther could be a college professor... that doesn't mean that this lecture on metallurgy should be removed from the college's account.

The fact that some people can't tell the difference between an Einstein and a wannabe Einstein doesn't mean that we should censor them both.

I’m not surprised; you’re rolling your own crypto.

Quoting JP Aumasson’s Too Much Crypto [0]:

The best result on ChaCha is a key recovery attack on its 7-round version, with 2^237.7 time complexity (the exact unit is unclear) using output data from 2^96 instances of ChaCha, that is, 2^105 bytes of data. On 6 rounds, a similar attack can run in time & data 2^116 & 2^116, or 2^127.5 & 2^37.5. On 5 rounds, the attack becomes practical due to the lower diffusion, and runs in 2^16 time and data.

You see what’s happening there? 5 rounds is easily broken, 6 rounds is borderline secure, 7 rounds is secure. Same thing with AES; these algorithms were never meant to be used the way you’re using them.

The key requirement is that the sample be distributed through the time series, and allow for arbitrary start and end points in that time series. It isn't enough for it to just be random.

So while the UUID could be leveraged to provide a distribution space for random sampling, it doesn't help much with the requirement that the records be time distributed.

In the article I used a 2 week span as an example, but in actual use this could be a 1 hour span or a 4 month span, too, with an arbitrary number of data points being collected, and I need a technique that works efficiently for all of those things.

To the core of your thought, though, about using the UUID as a source of randomness for gathering a random sample, I think the challenge there is going to be indexing the UUID in a way that is amenable to that purpose.
I'm biased seeing as I'm a software engineer, but this is actually a great idea. It could provide much needed competition to expensive gov contractors creating proprietary software.
I think the NY Post is probably getting played. But the media has gotten behind plenty of stories about Trump that turned out to be false: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/h.... This sloppiness is a general symptom of the need for media organizations to beat the Twitter cycle.

The question is whether this standard of reliability is one that they can actually apply evenly. This is a far higher standard that what was pitched. This content moderation was pitched as being limited to Russian bots and “vaccines cause cancer” and the like. Moderating articles from a publicly listed brick and mortar news organization, even if it’s a tabloid, based on the perceived credibility of the underlying facts, is a whole new level. It’s dramatically raising the bar. And maybe that’s where the bar should be, but I absolutely do not believe that Facebook and Twitter have the resources or integrity to apply that high standard fairly.
I would look at this from a different angle. Work friends have extreme pressure to be around you. They get paid to be around and collaborate with you. You can't easily determine the extent of a relationship standing on its own merit if someone is literally being paid to collaborate with you. With that said some of my best friends came from former jobs as well, but if we're talking about emotionally vulnerable people they especially need relationships outside of work. Imagine all of your relationships being tied to work and inevitably you get fired (as most people will experience in their life). That would be devastating without support outside of work. What if it turns out your friendships only lasted because of the financial incentives to be around each other and common in-office conversations?

tl;dr; relationships outside of work are important and that's not sad to me because it doesn't prevent anyone from also having friends inside of work.
Presuming your CPU 1. is pipelined, and 2. has a clock frequency higher than the memory bus speed, wouldn’t each memory fetch be guaranteed to take more than 1 CPU cycle (let’s say X cycles) to resolve? If the static CPU-side execute-phase overhead for each load instruction is M cycles, wouldn’t the total load time just be M+XN — because the static phase of each successive pipelined op is occurring while the previous ops are waiting around for RAM to get back to them?

Sort of like serially launching N async XHRs. The “serially” part doesn’t really matter, since the time of each task is dominated by the latency of the remote getting back to you; so you may as well think of it as launching them in parallel.

The only practical difference I can see is that LDM results in smaller code and so increases cache-coherency.
There are other risks around mental health, so you have to balance them. I’m a single person who is an extrovert and I get depressed when I’m not around people — to the point it’s hard to function.

The balance is different for each person. Being intentional about the people we share space with goes a long way; nobody I know is going to concerts or crowded bars which makes contact tracing a lot easier.
I'm saddened a little bit to see stuff like theming has been built. I was hoping that ReactOS would stick with the Windows 2000 look and feel. I also think that with the limited resources they have, the project team would be better focusing on improving compatibility, over shiny desktop effects.

That said... I firmly believe there is a place for ReactOS. Eventually, XP will fail to run on new hardware, and when that happens a lot of great software will die also. Having ReactOS around means we can continually target new hardware, but still remain XP compatible.

Personally, I view software like I do books. We can read books written 100s of years ago, but we struggle to run 10 year old software. This has to change, else we'll endlessly repeat ourselves rewriting the same programs over and over again.
In the first post about this, people were like, how come they didn't do this to the Democrats in 2016.. Uhhh because they were not taking ANY aggressive actions in 2016 against anyone, that's why we are here. They are trying to correct a wrong. I applaud them for trying.

Also it's unfair to say they are doing this for political favoritism. Democratic politicians are the loudest ones calling for their breakup, ie. Bernie, AOC, Warren.

Reading this story without understanding the entire political landscape is as dangerous as the misinformation itself.
> 3. They are good at or enjoy office politics.

As a counterpoint, we had a mix of remote department and in-office departments at my last company. Transitioning to fully remote made marked an increase in politics every time.

It sounds counterintuitive at first, but fully remote moves even more conversations to side channels. At the office it’s hard to have secret exclusionary meetings without other people noticing eventually. Online, you can create a private Slack channel or even a separate off-Slack group for the in-crowd where you exclude others, and no one can see it.

The politicians also developed a habit of meeting up in person (lunch, shared work days, etc) in ways that strengthened their political power. Ironically, having everyone go remote was a catalyst for giving the politicians a leg up on relationship building.

We still saw upsides of remote work, but I’ve lost all illusions that remote work is an improvement for office politics. If anything, the extra effort required for relationship-building in remote teams just gives the politicians more of a moat to protect their political domain.
IIRC they were the ones who created mandrill but after some time they decided to stop investing in it (because it wasn’t aligned with their goals, or something along those lines). Rather than completely shutting it down, they left it online to support people who were already using it. You can debate the merits of that approach, but as I recall they communicated clearly about it at the time.

Not really. For Epic, you can buy things in Fortnite on other platforms and you get them in the iOS account. Same goes for ProtonMail I assume. The issue is that you can't advertise in the app that users can purchase the things elsewhere.

I think the key mistake was that the NY Post didn't cite "anonymous sources." That would have made it bulletproof.
If it didn't have the other issues, there are various ways it might have been saved, for example having it operate on pairs of registers, or splitting it into separate instructions for the low half and high half.
It's psychology-fueled. Also, a lot of companies reinvest profit so they don't have to pay taxes.

Actually, the title refers to it as "bias" rather than "censorship". "free market" is a larger concept than "bias", although you can be biased while still operating within the context of a free market. Still, censorship doesn't have anything to do with the government, although the U.S. explicitly forbids government censorship.

There's no opposing force.

Let's say you pencil-dive into the black hole. At first, you fall down with mostly constant gravity acting on your entire body.

But there is some distance between your head and foot, so your foot's gravity calculation begins to yield higher forces than your head as you get closer to the singularity.

As this effect plays out, you get elongated, and the distance from head-to-toe increases even more, magnifying the effect, which in turn magnifies the effect more and more until you're spaghettified.

> We are talking about forces stronger than strong nuclear force, but somehow affecting body locally.

It wouldn't be a black hole if it didn't outmuscle whatever gets close enough.
Sounds interesting - I'd love a source on it.
I agree, Rudy Giuliani has spread quite a bit of disinfo over the past 4 years. The claim here that is supposedly supported by a receipt is that Hunter left the computer at a repair shop and never paid the bill. In adherence with the store contract they took ownership of the laptop after some time. When they looked at the hard drive they thought they saw illegal activity and turned it into the FBI after making a clone of the drives which is what Rudy claims he has.

It's definitely becoming more common. Many agencies have organizations up on GitHub where development of various products are done out in the open (for example, https://github.com/cmsgov).
Thinking about it some more, I'd like a desktop OS that not only provides extensive scripting, but also exposes system features to the language in an accessible manner. So I can easily write a GUI for my script in a few lines, or draw some crap on screen, out of the box without the bureaucracy or FFI business you'd need to do these things in Python or some other high level language.

In other words I'd like there to be a concept of OS-level "system features" available to high level languages through something a little more friendly and robust than interfacing to a C library. I don't know how I'd implement it :) but its how I'd like things to be.
