I don't see any scenario where you would provide VPN services for others without using a VPN yourself.
The Constitution of the United States was explicitly designed to create a government where people do not have to trust their elected officials, and still have a functioning government.
If it is not clear to you yet, there is no recourse to logical discussion. The desire to "silence" certain voices has been expressed clearly, and influential institutions have already led the way in this regard.

I predict that your views will likely find a far more receptive audiance in the generations that will follow. What is happening now is the result of decades of pedagogical prepration, and generations that really do not know what it is like to live under authoritarian regimes or cultures.

Those of us who immigrated to United States precisely to escape authoritarianism recognize the signs full and well. It is quite unsettling to see what is happening in this nation.

Not for anything I'd wanna use it for. USB 2 makes it hard to get data in and out. Video is 720p single stream. I'm grasping at straws here.

Seems like a total loser compared to the NVidia Jetson line. It does have a few more TOPs than the Nano, I guess? And it costs a bit less than the Xavier series?
I agree. this is a jump-the-shark move.

I've worked with confluence and jira and they are not as good as other products - but we can put any kind of confidential data in them. Everybody likes sharepoint/google docs/slack way better.
You can do credit catd payments in pretty much any country. Just not via Stripe.
The problem here is that it makes the assumption that rebooting without confirmation outside these hours is a reasonable thing to do. But it isn't.

If I am in the middle of something, and put my laptop to sleep at the end of the day, I absolutely do not expect it to wake up in the small hours, reboot itself, and lose all my work.

The "active hours" is irrelevant. Unconfirmed reboots at any time are completely unacceptable. Look at how MacOS does it. Or Linux updates. Let the user have some modicum of control in scheduling them at their convenience. It's their computer. It's their work. It's their schedule. Computers are supposed to empower us, not enslave us, but it seems increasingly the other way around. They give others control over us.
I wonder why my experience is so different. I primarily use it while taking the train to my parents and for the second part of the journey the signal is bouncing between 2g/3g/no signal but I've not encountered this.
> C++ will eventually peak and die off but the timeframe is probably measured in decades and I'm sure there'll places where it holds on even then, like Fortran today. I certainly would't recommend it to a programmer starting out today, instead C or Rust would be better places to get an idea of system level programming.

Unlikely. The only candidates for replacement are Rust and D, none of these are anywhere near the adoption of C++.

What C++ can do is get better at being a language and then maybe give tools for developers to phase out outdated constructs or relics from C. It is not going away cause it's the best replacement for C humanity will ever get, at least for the next century.
I’ve always used Spotlight on my Macs for quick calculations. Just use CMD space and throw in an equation or unit conversion, get back to the task at hand and jump back into Spotlight and edit, it’s simple and streamlined. However, Catalina has a nasty bug where doing any calculation in Spotlight pegs all cores to 100%. It’s infuriating and I’ve reported it many times as have others.
Can you point me to the part where I or the original poster said that women can or can’t be managers? Is that what was being discussed at all before?

Please reflect on whether this is the best you can contribute to a thread about being an engineering manager.
Not to mention that many variants of French (Canadian French, Swiss French, Belgian French, and so on) would -- to my understanding -- not be considered by Académie Française to be "proper French" even though they are objectively French (mutually intelligible) and yet have deviated despite the formation of the Académie Française in the 1600s and its continued existence since the 1800s.

I don't see how the situation would be different with English (especially given that French was not as international in the 1600s as English is today -- so that ship has long since sailed). Not to mention that English spelling reforms have been tried many times in the past and rarely caught on within a single country let alone worldwide[1].

I wonder how plausible it is to genetically engineer algae to sequester more carbon e.g. make them bigger and heavier so they sink to the bottom of the ocean, and also make them reproduce faster.

Does anyone know anything about this? (I don't)
My network is setup so that all DNS requests are redirected to my Pihole.

Understandably, if you can't even change your router settings then this probably isn't possible. I'd consider putting another router in front of the non-configurable router in order to give yourself and control of your own network (or, preferably, replace non-configurable router altogether).
Thank you for sharing. I wish you great success in the future too!

A more reasonable interpretation of that data would be that we're getting stupider because we spend more time indoors without proper ventilation.

Even if we doubled yearly increases in ppm we'd be a century away from a measurable impact on human cognition for outdoor air.
There's an argument for valuing ten years of Silverlight experience -- especially if it includes some gnarly projects where the framework isn't really holding your hand that much -- over ten years of flitting between web frameworks but never really getting much beyond implementing the stuff that shows up in the tutorial.

I think "going into the weeds" (and not being afraid to do so again, in another context) has some value independently of any specific patterns or tricks that apply to a particular technology.

That's the case on laptops, yes. But on desktops it's really quite good, it's rare to encounter any issue at all. Unfortunately most people want laptops so that's a significant problem.

MDN Developer Needs Assessment 2020
Some quick comments about the iOS app.

1) it seems quite unintuitive to not be able to drag the cursor along the calculation and to rely on the arrow keys

2) the list is functions is long and not having text search (much like excel) is a major pain for usability. I don’t want to be scrolling ages to find the average function.

3) I also hope that the “commonly used” function list is adaptive, so it adapts to the functions that are used most often by the user
I find it very interesting that you put Haskell in one camp, and OCaml into the other. I am more of a Standard ML guy instead of OCaml, but can you elaborate a bit why you feel you can iterate faster in OCaml than in Haskell?
Every British person is taught Received Pronunciation etc.

Read your kayaking journey on the Sea of Cortez. Unfortunately lots of pictures are missing, but I kept reading!

These kind of reports are some of the things that I miss on the new internet. I did have a site of my own where I also wrote like this, mainly amateur astronomy (which was my main hobbie back then). Nowadays, because of smartphones you get every information on live. Sometimes I just like to know the things after they've occurred, when the person sits on front of a computer after some days (without access to computers), and writes things as he remembers them..
On the other hand, many many packages on https://pypi.org/ have not been updated in the last 5 years since they are essentially feature-complete. They don't need active development, the feature-set in the last published version still works.

Yes, for smaller languages standardisation kinda sorta works. And yet you'll undoubtedly find that in reality the actual Basque and Irish Gaelic that are used differ from the prescribed standard.
In any case, yes:

If it's a userspace-based model with kernel modules (like nvidia) - yes, you can insert/remove kernel modules without rebooting and exchange userspace libs freely.

If it's an in-kernel driver part like the i915 module that comes bundled with your distro's kernel, you can kexec the new kernel, which is simple with systemctl kexec.

It will likely require to exit and restart the graphical session though.
I’ve never succeeded to compile it, and like Android, most of the code is in non-public plugins. I’ve been a developer for long and we can only use it to look at algos of the core product, but not execute them.

Please don't take it personally, but the "stack" of Typescript, YAML, bundlers, "compiler chain", REST, GraphQL, JSON, SCSS needed for web-apps is exactly the kind of nonsense I can do without. I was specifically only talking about HTML which as a generic markup language already has all the means in place to encode any necessary information for rendering - that's the entire purpose of markup.
This is a bad form of advice. Instead of "Don't do X", it's much better to say "Do Y instead of X".

So in this case, for instance, it's safer to first paste into a text editor, examine first, then paste.

> Of course you can do a data table representation in almost any language, but once you benchmark the implementations, the languages that gives you full control of memory and are good at moving bytes are the ones that lead in performance.

The thing is, once you need even more performance, you might need parallel evaluation. And in C++, there are plenty of opportunities to shoot yourself with which even very experienced programmers have sometimes extreme difficulty doing it correctly:

https://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/DoubleCheckedL...

https://preshing.com/20130930/double-checked-locking-is-fixe...

And this is the area which Rust, while being as performant as C++, is heavily improving on.
I can't stand this. If Chesterton thinks he has all the power, why doesn't the onus to know "the use of it" fall on him? He should be responsible for documenting the purpose and motivations behind the fence, if he thinks he's such a protector.

Anyway, this stance seems to be what separates conservative from a liberal. Conservative want to protect something that exists but he has no knowledge of reason - such as people protecting slavery, racism, etc. Putting up barriers against people trying to change world for the better.
On my old team, AWS RoboMaker they do. Contributed a lot of money and developers to ROS2 to make it a solid robotics platform.
Reminds me of the awesome board game “evolution: climate” [0]

The game was codesigned by a climate scientist, you evolve animals designed to thrive as the climate changes. Adding a carnivore (cat) changes the game and brings quick gains eating other animals but when the climate shifts and carnivores have nothing to eat they die first.

Large chunks of the game are often played with no carnivores (cats) as other strategies outperform.

Great game to better understand evolutionary dynamics.

Arm v8 is the "current" 64-bit version of the ISA and you almost certainly have it inside your phone. You might have a version older than v8.3.
I love this concept!
I think it's more linked to experience than anything specific language feature.

I used to think it was typing, then I became more proficient in Haskell and the type system actually saved me time.

My in-the-flow languages right now are Haskell, JavaScript and PHP, but I'm trying to add rust to it.

I have a friend who reaches out to C for quick prototyping.
I know many more going for .Net or Java (which are not that far from C++)

> Chelsea Manning was released in 2017.

After her sentence was commutated by Obama, otherwise she would be in prison until at least 2045.

She was recently placed back in jail for refusing to testify against Assange (instead referring the prosecution to her prior testimony), though she was released again after a year.

I wouldn't take a bet against her ending up back in jail for a similar attempt at intimidation once the sham court in the UK sends Assange to the US to be executed for distributing the above video to the world.

Please share your stories — how you made your turn in, was it a good decision, how it affected your parents and your well being, what did you choose exactly and why?

Thanks.

Tiobe: Python is getting closer to the second position
Well, from my POV, the biggest GDPR technical issue is integrating with Google. They don't support TCF 2.0[1] like nearly everyone else in Europe, so we have to special case them.

Other than that, we've had to a) ensure we honour user consent b) ensure that only directly relevant PII is held in our systems c) for only as long as needed and d) is handled securely - so ensure encryption at rest and in transit is properly applied.

Was maybe about 2 months work for 3 people to put in place, and we had plenty of time to do so.

Oh, and an initial early change we made at the behest of our lawyers was to drop the last quartet of any stored IPs. Not sure if that was GDPR or another EU directive though.

I’m fed up seeing this kind of shallow dismissal. This is a particularly egregious example; you are a hair away from saying “discrimination that affects <race> disproportionately is not racist”.

I mean, you’re basically describing redlining (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining) - a textbook case of a “we all already agree that this is racist and it’s not particularly controversial” concept.

You don’t need a law that says “Black people can’t vote” in order to have racist policies!
The Rayleigh limit in spatial resolution of an image forming device is given by:

l = 1.22 * λ * L / D

Where λ is wavelength, L is distance and D is optical element diameter.

For satellite at an altitude of 150 km with 2.4 m diameter mirror and 0.4 μm blue light, this gives a spatial resolution of 0.3 m. To read a number plate requires an order of magnitude better than this.

Web developer's love of programming is what wins them (potentially) fantastic salaries in regular work; it's also what cripples their attempts to diversify their income.

Time and time again, I see programmer friends investing 6+ months of their time getting an "MVP" out the door. Instead they should be applying their problem-solving skills to figuring out how to test their market hypothesis an order of magnitude more quickly. For my business, that meant a plain HTML website — no JS, no backend — and a PayPal button.

Props to you, that's inspiring. On the other hand, if I have to be completely honest, I can't wrap my mind around why would anyone pay for what are you doing, let alone so many people. There is so much free resources on Internet on popular topics (such as Ruby/RoR in this case), that I simply don't understand how people can pay for something like this (I didn't read your articles, but if you churned out 30 articles in 50 days then I dare to make a bold claim they aren't world-changing, or presenting something that wasn't already there). Just as I will never comprehend how sane person can regulary read tabloids. But as I said, I admire you and would gladly be in your position, well done.

My phone doesn't have lidar and hunts around for focus. Or focuses plain wrong. What's worse is that sometimes you take a picture (like of text) and it looks ok on the phone screen, but later when you check it's completely out of focus.

also there's distance measurement, and 3D shape/size estimation, but honestly I think fast/accurate focus will be the most awesome use case.
Then you're not really using Linux as an OS at all are you?

A Critique on Intellectual Property (2001)
I still love C++ but rarely code in it any more. One interesting thing is that the whole modern approach to immutable data structures seems so wasteful to me now. C++ you literally take strings and overwrite characters, where now people duplicate lists of records just to stay clean.

Once you have the discipline you need in C++ to make mutable data structures work its a hugely efficient place to be. However I sleep much better in the non-C++ world.
Mass software theft since the rise of the internet. Started with games like Ultima online and Meridian 59 in the mid 90's.

We were getting mods, level editing tools and dedicated servers until the public started buying into the mmo scam of the mid 90's. AKA they were just regular RPG's rebranded mmo and had their networking code stolen. Games like quake had their networking code integrated into the game. Everyone was expecting RPG's to go the quake route and one did make it out before all rpg's were rebranded mmo to dispossess the computer illiterate PC gaming masses ... (neverwinterNights 2002) on gog.

They killed dedicated servers and modding after they figured out the public had no idea how computers worked. Ultima online, Guild wars 1, Everquest, etc.... any client-server piece of software means you're being sold an incomplete piece of software.

AKA it's just a game with the files and networking code held hostage on remote pc's. The public was too braindead to get the message and the whole tech community went wild to dispossess the masses and back-end all future software to remove control of software from the end user.

After the coup Richard garriot pulled with ultima online, Microsoft, Adobe, and everyone in the industry was going to try and force all software client-server and steal software on mass.

Why the hell would anyone buy an incomplete piece of software that required a remote computer in order to function unless they were braindead? Software as a service is the same as simply stealing the program files and adding some malware back end to remove ownership of the software.

Microsoft saw what Valve got away with, with steam, and uplay, EA, ubisoft and now rockstar got away with social club and now Windows 10 has forced updates and client-server aspects where it requires a remote computer.

The whole thing is fraud on a massive scale and the fact that even many people on hacker news have been eating up means many of you have been oblivious to the obvious fact we're being robbed.

For those of us who were aware of the great incomplete software as a service scam by forcing us into the mainframe, dumb client terminal model.

You can call the FTC.gov and blow the whistle on the last 25 years of game theft, and the fact that Microsoft is now trying to steal aspects of windows files and hold them hostage on a remote pc.
