Yes, but what’s not true about Apple/Safari is that Apple hasn’t raised the ire of the administration for being “unfair to conservatives”.

Don’t you find it a little strange that pro-business/anti-regulation conservatives are going after “big business”?
Well, they extorted it from Taxpayers. What does UCSF care?
Sure, but the institution and all of the researchers are based in the US. If their chosen framing gets it so horribly wrong for their own society, then how useful can it be?
At my previous job we were mostly working like this and I still think it is the better way. I would sometimes create 10 commits or so a day, all of them very small. This way everybody gets the latest code much earlier.

Feature branches discourage refactoring because if the work that is off master is bigger merge conflicts can easily get much hairier

Small commits also forces one to have a good automated tests because one is not going to test everything manually after every very small commit. It ties in very nicely with the TDD cycle.

Not all work can be done this way so sometimes one needs a feature branch but most of the time it is not needed. In many cases feature switches are a good alternative, if needed.
I've been using it for less than a year and I pretty much started with Doom Emacs. I know like three or four ways to open a file…but which, if any, is “the default”??? Heck if I know!!
Text protos are decent (although a lack of a public spec limits their adoption outside of Google).

But that's just a serialization format, only a piece of the configuration puzzle. You may argue that all configuration should be fully static, but having gone from writing GCL/BCL at Google to having to deal with static, text-templated, copy-pasted YAMLs in the Real World - I want my GCL back. :)
I'd think this isn't just a PR move, but his technical knowledge would probably be an asset to Russia, or any country for that matter. He'd be the perfect candidate to create a thriving startup, increase Russia's GDP, and create thousands of jobs. Or assist Russia's government in identifying threats from foreign cyber-spying.

What country wouldn't want highly skilled and knowledgeable people in STEM to immigrate, thrive, and boost the country's economy? Oh right, the US.
Yeah, he could have selectively leaked only important crimes of the US government but he instead leaked tons of shit that endangered the lives of Americans overseas and gave our enemies insight into how we conduct intelligence gathering in hostile countries.

Add that to his shady Russia ties and he's not the hero many make him out to be.
Stock price. If they overstate demand, the SEC can fine them for stock manipulation later.

Downplaying demand is the conservative position to take, since it's not clear how many reservations will actually convert to sales.
That insurance already exists. Periodic review by security pros is pretty much worthless, however. Nearly every company that has been hit had review by security pros, and many had compliance certifications.
They fixed it. Just downloaded the bugfixed version and it restored my purchase.

I have to confess that I didn't put much energy in filtering this. In the future I will endeavor to exhibit more decorum.
Completely made up. Three submissions, ~50, ~100 and ~150 points in HN. Everyone having a laugh, no one cares for site rules. No moderation in sight. Everyone knows it's fake, no one cares. Rinse and repeat about three times a day over four years. Some of them make it into HN, each one makes in into the minds of thousands. But dare to defend truth and the cavalry is there in seconds.
currently the web doesn't let you mix data from sites very easily. Like maybe I want to cross reference my google calendar with my bank spendings on a particular day or something. We also get stuck with crappy UIs all the time (often from banks in particular). Dunno about how ads would work if sites just provided data, but I can imagine an intermediate step where we have a tool that can real time scrape a site for only what we are interested in and discard the rest. Then present it to the user using custom real time presentation
Isn't it possible to create many small playbooks, instead of a big one. This would allow you to just run the stuff you need. And if you need all e.g. for bootstraping then you can create one playbook that simply includes the smaller ones with the import_playbook statement. This also gives you the flexibility to create other subsets based on your needs.
This is exactly why you should take the course. To clear up the misconception that spaced repetition is the principle way of learning.
Sure, they make two arguments: 1) Trump is redirecting funds that were intended by congress for totally different purposes [1]. Doing this is anti-democratic and therefore infringes on your right to determine government policy. 2) Trump is interfering with natural and culturally significant sites that people have a right to. Destroying cultural sites and altering land that was set aside as a national park for preservation for future generations are obviously civil liberties issues.

I'm trying it out, and it does look nicer.

A few unasked for comments/questions:

1. I'm worried about committing to a closed system. I see you have an export, but at first glance it seems to make an unreadable .mochi file. A csv would be nice. Could I ever export back to Anki or something if I stopped using this?

2. Will you support other card types besides front/back?

3. I miss Anki's database view. Your deck view supports a "list" as well as "grid," but the list items are very tall, and I can't see any other columns.

4. Your "forgotten" multiplier works very differently from Anki's, I believe -- I think they just reset you to zero, right? This seems potentially very cool and potentially a big difference between the two apps. (In an attempt to split the difference between the two systems, I'm trying out 0.3 instead of 0.5.) Do you have any research showing this works?
Sorry man, it's not that Linux is so superior. It's just that Windows is such a raging dumpster fire that I question the sanity of those using it voluntarily.
I'm VERY wary of granting anyone pretty far down the Orwellian hole any credibility when it comes to the idea that they might help anyone determine the truth / dig another nation out of an Orwellian hole.

Straight up I don't think they want that, actually the opposite.

Russia really seems to prefer to get close up with other Orwellian nations more than others, they're not there to help ANYONE dig out, rather they'd rather just get friends in place in other nations that are Orwellian themselves.
He could have stolen only the docs related to domestic surveillance. Snowden could have handed only those docs to his media handlers who would then vet them with the IC.
Considering that this is mostly about Russia doing a victory lap, I don't think so.

If they tried to keep him there it would kind of spoil the whole thing and tip the lie of their supposed benevolence.

Much better for the PR to let him go and wish him luck. Probably even have a send off ceremony, give him some kind of medal?
There is a long tail of blogs, podcasts, and independent authors now, no longer beholden to corporate interests (or not as much.) I find a rich selection of everything these days -- and if you subscribe the $ mostly goes directly to the author (e.g., with substack) which is awesome.

> However, sometimes the situation does not fit in a rigid framework: as for Turing-completeness, there may be cases which mandates side-effects. An example is when writing Terraform configurations, some external values (an IP) used somewhere in the configuration may only be known once another part of the configuration has been evaluated and executed (deploying machines, in this context). Reading this IP is a side-effect, even if not called so in Terraform's terminology.

Seems like one of those phrases you only hear someone say offhandedly, and might not actually see written down. I can totally understand how it could be easy to mishear it somewhere along the chain of people who heard it from other people.
Yep. Obama didn’t even pardon Manning. He only commuted her sentence. The difference being that pardoning removes it from your record while commuted is just “time served.”
Are there more recent headsets from Corsair that would be worth trying out as well? Or is the HS70 the latest one they make in their line-up?
That's a misconception worth clearing up, but the article is about taxes on wealth (i.e. assets), not profit.
This seems like a lot of work for such a small problem in Ansible that can actually be fixed without any patches. Here's an example.

- name: Pretend to install stuff.
debug: var=item
with_items: [git, httpd, vim]
when:
- "'all' in ansible_run_tags or item in ansible_run_tags"
- item not in ansible_skip_tags
tags: always

If you run without any tags it will install everything and if you specify --tags=git it will only install git and if you specify --skip-tags=vim it will do the correct thing.

Ref: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices...

And in the specific case of installing packages you can speed this process up dramatically with something like the following without having to use tags.

- name: Probe the host for installed packages.
package_facts:

- name: Install packages.
package: name={{ item }}
with_items: [git, httpd, vim]
when: item not in ansible_facts.packages

But this itself is really inefficient too because you're still calling the module for every package instead of calling the module once with all the packages. Older versions of Ansible did this automatically but it was super magic so it's probably better that it was removed. We can do it ourselves though.

- name: Install packages.
package: name={{ to_install }}
vars:
packages: [git, httpd, vim]
to_install: "{{ packages | difference(ansible_facts.packages) | list }}"
There are ways to prevent the "bags of money" from happening. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) comprehensively prohibits even using the most obscure arrangements to pay bribes. Large institutions hire expensive lawyers to ensure their ongoing compliance with FCPA, because the penalties for failing to prevent your organization from paying bribes are extensive. You can't completely eliminate a practice through law, but you can come close, and FCPA has done more for this problem globally than nearly any other measure enacted by a government.
The use case of those executable configuration languages is that you often need to set the same setting on different programs, maybe even on different machines, but they must all reflect the same decision in different ways (like your services server can set a port to listen, so your firewall must set that port as open for internal traffic, and your applications must set that port as their data source).

That said, this one language does not look powerful enough for that. So I'm not sure where it can be used.
Thanks! It's growing and getting high reviews but it's true about how indie hackers needs to focus more on marketing than features.
I agree: apart from "without", search engines don't handle logical quantifications properly (i.e. ∀ and ∃).

Really? I remember there was a lot of hoopla around "the anarchist cookbook" - but was it actually ever taken down anywhere?

I remember using dead tree lexicons as an example in a short class on technology and society - most of them have a lot of information on black powder. I used it to compare and contrast what a simple online search will turn up.
People are (still, amazingly) claiming he just happened to get stranded in Russia. Clearly this was either his backup plan for what most likely would happen, or his actual plan for what he knew would happen (with Russian intel advising him the whole way).

Pretty far away from "do people not realize that his passport was taken and he got stuck in the Moscow airport?" Really far.
I obviously don't think Manning was treated well, but she is an clear example that Snowden wasn't facing "a guaranteed life sentence". Being overly hyperbolic does nothing but lessen the perceived severity of a punishment that would already appear extreme if stated completely honestly.
Not really, only iOS 14 allows the user to select a different browser as the default - and it does so in some severely limiting ways:

- It isn't actually that browser rendering anything, it's Safari under the covers (though Chrome does replace the networking stack with its own)
- Every attempt to launch a browser other than Safari requires an extra selection on the user's part to approve it. Every time.
If US Chess Federation had a budget in the billions, that'd be a story by itself.
You say that it is "provably bad". Can you provide such proof?
You're quite right about the timing. Cybertruck is a very polarizing design while the Hummer EV looks like, well, a Hummer which does still appeal to quite a lot of people. Throw in the Rivian and now we're in a new segment. I'm generally happy to see more brands leaning into EV since ultimately consumers win.
I felt the same, but, having tried it, I can say it works in both directions. I can comfortably tolerate both hotter and colder temperatures than before.
It's a great idea, iff you can accurately price security risks.

Security is an org problem as much as a tech problem. Trying to estimate likely security risks caused by orgs is... complicated. You would blow your margin in assessment costs alone.

Besides, can you imagine a board asking the CEO why they're buying insurance with the infosec budget instead of, y'know, ensuring infosec?
I’m more concerned about what happens if we don’t start taxing the rich more (in the US). I’m worried about the class divide turning violent

The exercise does definitely have value...

My frustration comes from personal experience. I've worked in a few startups where the "size of the error bars" never changes. It is very, very frustrating to see the same optimistic, almost delusional thinking used 3 or 4 years in. Some founders are very, very stubborn and won't listen or look at previous results.
The iPhone is not the best tech in what objective measure? Their processors are two or three years ahead of anything Android has. The $399 iPhone SE is faster than any Android at any price.
Yeah, on macOS and Linux it starts a proper daemon. On Windows, I used org-mode so heavily that the idea of closing it during the workday usually meant I was preparing to reboot for IT's 25th update push of the day.

I actually do recall the lock file not being deleted properly a couple times. It didn't happen often, probably why I had mostly forgotten about it.
Classic circular fallacy. "Wealth taxes are good. Wealthy people don't like wealth taxes, and that's how you know they are good."

Or is it an ad hominem even if the "hominem" is a class (wealthy people) instead of a person?
So they made it as shoddy looking as possible to be able to say later, well we did have a survey, but few participated?
Churches have windows. The government could even make that a requirement, that they keep them open with lots of ventilation.
I'd prefer stating that matrices actually don't mean anything in isolation. They are simply representations of linear maps. What happens to the elements of a matrix before the elements are formed is irrelevant to the matrix itself.

And then the “committee” meets and they take a majority decision to pay with a secret vote, and another committee makes the actual payment (by majority).

> Do you have any practical DeFI resources you can share around this?

I would suggest reading about the popular Defi apps directly from website, use Twitter. bankless.substack.com is popular among this crowd.

> I imagine you need to be brave enough to have a fair amount of $$$ tied up in ETH

I only maintain exposure to USDC stable coin most of the time except during executing opportunities which usually completes in a couple of transactions.

DeFi also allows for capital less trades, eg: you can borrow $100,000 worth of USDC with no collateral for $90 using flash loans. One strategy is described here - https://blog.instadapp.io/six-percent-instant-return/
why do 34.242.162.234 and 18.203.64.15 both translate to 10.54.1.1?

Some promising stuff here. My highlights:

- they seem to recognize the problems caused by recommendation engines optimizing for engagement

- they seem to oppose automated content filtering

My main worry is that attacking targeted advertising misses the mark: platforms would still be incentivized to optimize for engagement. Forcing platforms to make algorithmic recommendations optional would be as useless as all these cookie warnings.
People have been doing this since before dual exchange rates were (re-)introduced a year ago. There's a bit of everything, really.

- Some shops operate at the "blue dollar" value, out of necessity because they buy the products they sell at that rate, or trying to obtain a bigger profit from the things they bought at the official rate.

- Some shops operate at the official rate, but their products just get crazy high taxes (cars, for example).

- Some shops operate at the official rate and sell their products at that rate approximately. Some big tech manufacturers fall under this category, Apple products being the biggest exception as shown above (but there are many others). Fun fact: the inflation and the option to pay these products in no-interest instalments sometimes make products cheaper than in the US, accounting for the future devaluation of the peso.
I don't think anyone here is saying that the US is less free than Russia. They're saying that this move has PR to that effect as one of its goals.

CNN likes to post rich people in favor of wealth taxes.
I agree that is what the article is about.
Doesn't everyone?

Plus, there's other reasons to be skeptical of wealth taxes, capital flight is a real thing.
I meant free in the natural sense, as in, by using geothermal energy you are not creating any more heat than would have been naturally released anyway -- you're just re-routing and extending the pathway for the same exact amount of heat to be released and getting some work done in the process.

As such, in some sense, with geothermal energy there is no notion of "wasted" power as far as the environment goes. Even if you leave your heaters on unnecessarily, you're just letting the same heat out from your living room instead of letting the same amount of heat escape directly from a fumarole. The heat will have been released either way, and whether you leave your heater on or not only changes where the heat gets released from.

Whereas if you were using, say, nuclear power, leaving your heaters on means that you are wasting nuclear fuel and generating heat that wouldn't have been released had you turned your heaters off.
Ed, Just don't stay for TEA.

I agree with you and Schmidt. Our institutions are corrupt and have been caught with their pants down many times now, but also people in general are morons and will gleefully amplify other people being morons.
Any chance your opinion was formed based on news/studies funded by wealthy individuals?
Yes, but mafia states do PR so that they aren't recognized as clearly as mafia states.
Russia has everything to gain from a divided us, because a divided us is less capable of opposing Russia. Classic divide and conquer.
Among other things I guess “wealthy” is an easily movable goal post...
A famous formulation of that is: "John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
I just checked the course. Spaced Repetition is listed in the glossary of terms, so you're right that it's in there somewhere. I don't remember it as being a primary topic, whereas active recall is primary.

> Can Rust be used also for compute?

It can, but it's worth noticing that the programming paradigm is different. For this reason, I would assume you are still writing a DSL within Rust which can use Rust's type checker to help you figure out what to write and how, but Rust in itself cannot represent the same semantics as-is that is required to write efficient parallel code. So, you still need to be a domain expert. But, automating the bytecode writing is alleviated by Rust's ability to provide packages etc.

I refactored some OpenMP code to run on SPIR-V using the Vulkan API the OP project uses, and I must say that I cannot see myself doing it in any other language than Rust.
Hm as others mentioned it is possible to use Ansible in a very "usual" way to solve this problem.

I would love if we standardize in Packer, Ansible and Terraform. Luckily it seems like the devops world is standardizing in this stack ... there's very little you can't do in an elegant way using those 3 tools (only use the 3 if you need, a lot of shops only use Ansible for example)
>because they care about their data and/or the privacy of their data.

You only have the criminal's word to stand on when they claim to delete data. It's far too easy to simply hang on the to troves of collected data and wait for a rainy day.
