It’s the same with ANC. It’s still noise pumped into your ear. So even though you may perceive it as silence because it cancels out the sound waves entering your ears, it’s still sound entering, and thus facilitating tinnitus when exposed to it too long. Even though you feel it’s been 8 hours of silence.

Staying true to yourself is not a good idea if you have an inaccurate self-image. It will cause great harm.

On the other hand you can’t in fact shape your identity around arbitrary desires about who you want to be.

There are constraints to what is possible for you become, especially if you care about being happy.

Knowing and respecting those constraints can be seen as a more positive interpretation of “being true to oneself”. Interpreting it this way, there is no ‘one true identity’, but there is definitely a sense of who you are, and who you it’s better not to try to be.
Boo that man!!
Booo!!! Boo!!!
It is essential when we look at deep time, or any sufficiently high-dimensional and detailed time series, to remember that we are only looking at a tiny slice. We always like to talk of "the tree of life", which might mislead folks into thinking that we get a clean cross-section of every branch of some high-dimensional tree. But, in truth, what we get is more like a tiny wedge cut out from a beanstalk with many central vines; we have only small leaves and cuttings from a mighty thick overgrowth of life.

I don't think it's that odd. Marketing in general is the art of ignoring edge cases, focusing on majority tailoring. Why would I care about losing 1 customer due to changing our branding, if it gains me 1000?

This is why business is not considered a form of engineering, while software is (just barely). Imprecision is a tool in business, while in engineering it is an enemy.
The government can at least ideally be replaced/restructured popularly when it gets its hands dirty with conflicts of interest. The redress for private corruption is much less powerful. I don't understand why it's so often taken as a truism that somehow introducing privatization or profit motive will improve a given problem; I would have hoped by now the numerous flaws in that approach would be apparent.
jacques@modularcompany.com , thank you very much.
IMHO with modern architectures these days, and from the last couple of years in particular, if you start feeling the need for something like Yocto I'd rather use a full blown distribution like Debian or Arch Linux if its available for your platform.

I have tried Yocto through the years and deployed a bunch of projects with it. Although it gives you the sense that it has a more coherent environment than Buildroot, I find that it is difficult to maintain since it has too much unnecessary complexity for embedded targets, and sooner or later that ends up getting in the way and biting you back. Not enough visibility, which is crucial for embedded systems. More so if the systems have network connectivity and need to be properly secured.

It could be that I am too acquainted to Buildroot's pretty flat and its spartan, no frills architecture. With highly constrained devices that is an advantage. Automating configurations takes low effort, they build quite fast, and you can maintain testing and deployments easily with your own bash or python scripts. There are few places to fiddle with variables and you can easily assemble images on the fly or through overlays. Many times you just need to modify the configuration file and rebuild.

The last years I have been progressively using Buildroot along with docker. They complement each other well and you can create base systems and then grow them tailored to your application taking advantage of the docker incremental build system. I regularly maintain cross-compilation and qemu-based docker image toolchains for my target architectures that way. They can be recreated and tracked reliably, 100% of the time. I use them to build the application images or just augment them with a buildroot overlay with the extra files and then also deploy them remotely through the docker facilities.
Does anyone have experience using either BUildroot or Yocto to build a virtual appliance? That is, a VM image that runs on a typical x64-based hypervisor. I'd be particularly interested in experience building an immutable image with an A/B setup for updates, in the style of Chromium OS or the old CoreOS (now Flatcar Linux).
That could introduce security issues, though. I guess auto-update is a two-sided coin?

Well if you weren't detaining them... 'fleeing' wouldn't be a thing so they couldn't flee and problem solved.

I thought it was nice, given the extreme anti-science / anti-regulation attitudes we see in the USA.
I wonder if this gives science a bad name, studying a thing that really seems quite obvious.

When a baby picks a toy and finds that causes no harm but actually fun, doesn't it make sense that they would pick the same thing the next time over something different and new and unfamiliar which might not cause fun but might in fact be dangerous?
La Real Academia Española rules the Spanish for Spain and Latin America.
That's just too bad then. Also, it really is nonsense, yes, you could do that, but that's a matter of blocking those specific calls, a pretty simple implementation would already be extremely useful and nobody even wants the firmware update extensions to be implemented, you can fairly trivially filter those out and redflag any application that even tries to do so.
> this reminded me of "benefit of clergy", where one could get a reduction in sentence if you could prove you were literate in court - by reading out a Psalm in Latin. Now, as it was always the same psalm, illiterate people could memorise the psalm and recite it as if reading.

IIRC, until the literacy test was abolished and the benefit made generally applicable to first-time offenders, the judge had the option of demanding a different work.be read if he suspected the privilege was being abused.

> (of course this was a legal fiction to allow courts to avoid handing out death sentences to all comers).

Well, it evolved into such a fiction (and eventually even the literacy test was removed). But it didn't originate as one, and didn't originally involve a sentence reduction but transfer to ecclesiastical court from secular court.
I'm going to guess that the comment about measuring the weight of a person was not referring to measuring his walking speed nor his height. It's more likely referring to his personal gravity well and the time dilation it causes as he approaches and you go further into it. Still a guess, though.
The fact that you're being downvoted just shows the partisan reflexes of those that did it.

Making a factual correction without any additional commentary. Down the memory hole.
Let me try to explain:

Where I live, cars need certification/a license to be operated. The manufacturer does that for you, so you can obtain the required document quite easily for your car.

Aftermarket parts are regulated - you can't install what you want, it needs to be certified for your specific make and model (and motor variant, etc.) - otherwise your car is not legal anymore.

This applies to chip tuning as well. Since you're modifying a certified part, it looses the certification - obviously.

What new cars are allowed to emit, is strictly regulated.

Further, since this very month, we have a carbon-based tax on new cars (based upon the aforementioned certification from the manufacturer). Thus if the emissions of car are changed, you're basically evading taxes as well.

Where I live, chip tuning is almost only done to get a few HP on the cheap. And it is unfortunately very popular and nobody really cares.

Edit: You can seek in individual certification for some modifications, added to your documentation, but a tampered with ECU is not one of them I think.
Quite the opposite, English is a relatively poor language that lacks many refined elements found in many other languages such as specific gender and verbal inflection. A language like German is able to create very specific words by a well defined process, a process that is missing in English. So, while it is possible to express a lot of different meanings in English, the language is not very sophisticated at this compared to others. The big advantage enjoyed by English is the fact that it has been spread by the two imperial world powers of the last 200 years.
> Is there a reason why it's any more evil than patents on machinery or other industrial processes?

This is way outside my area of expertise, but my understanding is the patent would only prevent others from monetizing the patented technology for x period of time.

That to me would be the key difference. In this case the claim is you can’t even grow the grapes in your own yard non-commercially.

Is it illegal to infringe on a software patent even if you’re not distributing or profiting from the software you wrote?
Yes, I have used it for this exact purpose as well.
I use AdGuard DNS. Not perfect (they can still log your DNS history), but it definitely prevents any interception or malicious code stealing passwords. DNS is a lot simpler than blocking extensions.

That being said, I do like Firefox's built-in tracker protection. I'd like to see more efforts like Firefox's canvas permission in the future, it definitely helps fight fingerprinting.

I guess Epiphany's lack of extension support works to my advantage in some areas.
Some terminal emulators strip control codes (like \\n) from pastes for this reason. Alacrity and konsole do this, at least.

> Amazon stealing OSS products and repackaging them (...)

Since when does providing managed services started to pass off as "stealing"?

Am I stealing FLOSS projects as well if I install them on a production environment?

It makes zero sense to try to pull this sort of bait-and-switch scam with FLOSS. If you release a project into the world while explicitly stating that everyone in the whole world is free to use it as they see fit then don't complain that someone was free to use it as they saw fit.
As someone who doesn't do software development as part of routine day-to-day work but has played with both, I'd describe Julia as "Fortran for Python developers", while Nim feels like "C for Python developers".

My interest in scientific applications pushes me towards Julia, but the user experience has so far been strictly worse than than Python, so I just don't bother with it as much as I might like to.

On the other hand, I am drawn to experiment with Nim (and to some extent Rust as well) because they feel better constructed, having more professional feeling tools and approaches to packaging. The downside is that their core strengths are in use-cases which aren't so aligned with my interests.

The strength of the Python packaging ecosystem makes me doubtful of the impact Julia can have. Meanwhile for Nim, it feels to me like awareness and adoption suffer a fair bit from competing with Rust for mindshare.
There's plenty of people that simply won't know ownership has changed because they just consume the published extension. They're clearly maintaining two sets of code, one for github and one for publishing extensions; nefarious is a strong word, it is at least suspect.

As far as an NDA goes, that's signaling to the current open-source maintainer that something nefarious is afoot. How would an NDA work? The maintainer hands other their GH account for the new party to commit under? The extension suddenly goes closed source? The maintainer doesn't acknowledge the community at all and rubber stamps anything the new party wants to commit the repository?

It'd be far easier to publicly take over maintaince, do good for a month or so, then silently publish the malware. That was probably the best route here; the maintainer was going to donate most of the monry they received back to the Turkish developers if they did a good job) and they'd have passed the transitory wave of scrutiny from seasoned devs like gorhill.
uBlock Origin has an unbreak filter list to address this now. Coupled with EasyList, it's been sufficient to remove anti-adblock warnings for me.
It's clearly a joke at the English spelling expense. Why does gh in the first place pronounce /f/ at the end of a word?

English is my second language. At first I found English quite easy: non-gendered nouns, simpler tenses, etc. But, after 25 years of using it it still shocks me at times. If you see a word for the first time you can have a guess how to pronounce it, but you could never be certain without consulting a dictionary.
Yes, but MIDI does allow for the file to contain a KEY specification (as well as tempo, time signature and a bunch of other info).

I know the scale/key/mode as such as not encoded in the note on/off signals but once you know what key you are in (and this can be determined in a variety of ways, including from the statistical properties of the note on/note off signals) the problem becomes a bit more tractable. Still, you will never get it perfect and that is not the goal, the goal is to get it as good as possible (and we are not even there yet).

> And because of the MIDI Tuning Standard, you cannot actually say a priori which notes (i.e frequency) a given note number corresponds to, although in practice most things will take the note number and map it to a a 12TET 440Hz standard.

This is true, but for a teaching application like this one it is simply not relevant.

> As a result, there are some people whose ability to withstand a DDoS has more to do with packets per second than bits per second, so it becomes a useful metric.

Right, definitely. A large sports streaming event might (easily!) do 10Tbps across a country, even more, but each GB served may only represent ~5k requests - 10e3/8 * 5e3 = 6.25M RPS, with each request being a single packet (small GET requests). That's big, but workable across enough machines for a big provider.

500M Pps is 80x that figure - you're basically DoS'ing header processing filters in your networking hardware.
For an email to a large of group of people where you don't want to disclose everyone's email address, BCC works well.
Can you elaborate on the "new partners must invest capital" part? I've heard of this, notably in the TV show Suits where when the lead character got promoted to partner, he was asked to contribute a lump sum of cash. Sounded nuts to me that a promotion meant you basically got a chance to pay (I know it's actually invest) money.

If developers expected to get compensated for the work they explicitly and voluntarily released for anyone and everyone in the world for absolutely free, wouldn't they have released it under different terms?

>Maybe that should not be protected. If I am unable/unwilling to moderate the comment section of a blog I host then maybe I should't have one. I do not believe a completely open free-speech comment section is a requirement of a good or successful blog.

It's not about having to moderate a completely free speech comment section. It's about being able to even have one and to be able to host good people and good comments without having to be liable for the time when people act terribly.

Where I'm from I don't think a bar owner can be held liable if a patron starts a fight and wounds another patron. You don't open a bar with the explicit intent of it being an amateur boxing arena, but a nice place for people to enjoy drinks and conversation.

If a user online decides to breach trust and common courtesy by posting vile stuff on my site I shouldn't be held liable for their actions as I did not force or coerce them to do it.

>Nothing stops people from posting whatever content they want on their own site. It just discourages aggregation of other people's content.

Yes, nothing is stopping them. But 230 is allowing you to do more with the internet other than just post things on your own site. That blog even describes an instance where replying/forwarding an email - in which you are repeating what rule/law breaking thing another person said to be able to reply/comment on said thing - you are protected against liability.

If you dismiss these liability rules you are effectively removing everything from chatrooms to comment sections from the internet, effectively making the internet into a snailmail/bulletin board service.

It's perhaps plausible that someone might assume the colloquial definition, but if a candidate for a master's program doesn't know of the formal logic definition in the first place, that is a failure of our academic institutions.
I'm in a similar boat, and agree completely that it's super fun to learn this way. Coming from playing guitar, I was already used to starting from chords and listening for the rest, so it wasn't a big change. I'm a big believer in proper timing and solid rhythms being more important than notes, and learning by ear makes those aspects more intuitive, in my experience at least.

One thing I did find was the very helpful, was putting those stickers with note names on each note on the keyboard. They help me keep track of what I'm playing, and when I compose something I rely on the stickers to help me transcribe.
The mask thing was a mess. But even back then, WHO was clear on why they said that:

"We need to be clear. The world is facing a significant shortage of PPE for our frontline workers -- including masks and gloves and gowns and face shields -- and protecting our health care workers must be the top priority for use of this PPE."

That's very World Health Organization, which is used to operating under scarcity.

The embarrassing thing now is that, eight months on, we don't have a huge supply of N95 masks, which actually protect the wearer. On eBay, the price is starting to drop, from about $10 each to about $5 each. Normal price is about $1 each.

I've been helping my 4yo learn to read, and...it's brutal trying to explain some stuff. E at the end of the word making the vowel long and is silent? Then you see "have" and "One"? No clue but to just give him the pronunciation. Do any words other than "you" have our making this sound? "Through" but what happens to that gh? "The" and "them" require the th to be spoken differently. Where does the v come from in "of"? Why is the e long in "me"?

In english it's simply not possible to, in general, pronounce a word correctly that you've never heard said or spell a word you've never seen written. This is true even if you limit yourself to only germanic words

Manifest V3 breaks ad blocking without doing anything about extensions spying on the user. It provides read-only access to everything that previously was available and merely removes the ability to modify or block requests.
With the full quote, the statement not to buy masks makes sense. There is no context that "They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus" makes sense outside of lying to the public, or gross incompetence.
