It was donated to the edinburgh college of art in the 1990s when she died. I suspect by now, its toast: The slide film process might be good for 50+ years if archival storage is used, but the university library probably had this out as a teaching resource before the web was big, and afterward, the digitization simply invited massive IPR complaints. Even the labour cost of separating out her own photos from the copies would have been massive.

I know a lot of the mounted slides had 'newtons rings' which are signs of the medium touching the glass carrier, which is not net beneficial to the slide ageing well.

I had a look in the catalog, It is not listed as available when her written work is, so I think its gone.

The slides hung in sheets from suspensors, about 5 rows of eight columns per sheet. You would stand at the cabinet (it was a couple of 4 or 5 draw filing cabinet) with a normal projector carousel, and then select slides from the sheets. The sheets had keys like "french baroque architecture" or "corbusier" or "golden mean" or whatever to her was a primary collation key, and then she would use her own head to eyeball the slides and select the stuff by 'secondary key' given what she knew. I think the hyperthreading here is mostly notional the primary keying, was the sufficient vehicle to find anything given "I know I have a slide of this, it was when i was researching post modern industrial design in iron" and then she'd strike out into the stack...

From 40x40x5 I get to more like 10,000 to 20,000 slides. I think you might get as many as 100 sheets to a drawer but even noting exaggeration it was a huge collection, wide ranging.
How do you, personally, perceive of things that have changed?
I tried obsidian but when it starts it doesn’t open a window. I posted to the forum and got a shrug. I try every once in a while thinking an update might fix it, but I obviously don’t know if I could use it even if it started working.
CNAME cloacking is a method to hide third party trackers by routing it through first party domains. It is used by Adobe, Criteo, Eularian, etc.

When you visit example.com , instead of connecting to adserver.com , it connects to random-number.definitely-not-adserver.example.com to evade DNS adblocking and extension blocking.

For firefox users, uBlock Origin has enabled CNAME blocking by default.
This reminds me a bit of the excellent first chapter of Death’s End by Cixin Liu. If this article sparked your imagination I suggest you check out the book and the whole trilogy.
I'm on the same boat. I think the best alternative is Simplisafe and I regret not buying it over Nest Secure. I really liked the motion + door sensor for the Nest Secure and it's what originally won me over. Totally forgot to account for Google dropping products so quickly. I personally do not trust any Ring products, especially after the whole sharing data with Law Enforcement for "Neighborhood safety"
They were actually incredibly fractured and fought each other a lot, actual fights with weapons and casualties. But still, you're right, they only got off the ground initially due to a national infrastructure encouraging them.

Social Media is more of an accidental paper-clip-optimizer national encouragement.

> You wouldn't advocate scrapping the entire criminal justice system, just because one innocent person was convicted. A little more nuance is useful here as well.

I've seen positive outcomes from the criminal justice system. I have literally never seen a CoC lead to a better dispute-handling process than the absence of a CoC.

> Every community has its set of guidelines, either explicit of implicit, intended to foster the community's purpose. If I go to my neighbor's party and behave like a jerk, and insult the other guests, there's a very good chance that I won't be invited back.

Sure - but it will be clear who's responsible for that decision. Most likely someone will tell you to your face what you did wrong and give you a chance to defend yourself.

> In this case, I have no idea why the committee came down hard on the author. I saw the relevant portions of his talk, and didn't hear anything rude or objectionable. I think the committee got it wrong in this instance, but that doesn't mean everyone in future should be allowed to be a jerk, and not face any consequences.

You don't need a CoC to exclude jerks. You need a moderator (not a committee; a clearly accountable individual, who will bear ultimate responsibility even for those parts of the job that they delegate) who will apply good judgement in a visible way. Not only must justice be done; it must also be seen to be done.

Based on what I've seen of them in action a CoC is not only useless, it should be a red flag that the organisers have not thought seriously about their dispute resolution process.
I have to pause a minute to understand CoC is code of conduct and not command and conquer.
Some might wonder why ultracommodification and financialization include food, air, and the human body.

The concept strikes many as an affront. As long as humans have existed, so have food, air, and human bodies. Were Adam and Eve broken up into tranches and traded by high-speed algorithms across the globe? Why, then, am I?

The dinosaurs that became our fossil fuels might well ask the same.

To gain insight, we must consider the essentials.

Necessarily, your exhalations contain carbon dioxide. However, requiring upon food acquisition payment for potential CO2 release equivalent to food carbon content is not viable. You may well intend to bury the food, or perhaps yourself immediately after consuming the food.

Nor is metering CO2 exhalations. Of course, a financially distressed individual could simply be interred the instant they become insolvent, but this forgets the utility of withdrawing fats from your body by mechanical processes and rendering them into tallow and diesel - which would be effectively subsidized by exhalation metering.

Furthermore, instantaneously committing to earth or industrial feedstock any body at time of insolvency presents impracticalities if that body is far from a hole in the ground or industrial consumer of body carbon.

Therefore, the human body itself, in addition to the food it consumes and gasses it exhales, is also a de-facto commodity in exactly the same way as a modern-day fuel-destined dinosaur or Adam or Eve, who are after all, you and me.

To provide freedom from immediate bodily carbon sequestration, while guarding against even a single atom of carbon from escaping the system, all the wondrous vagaries of our existences are therefore encoded into derivatives sold on the free market. You are free because of it. You may even bet on the possibility that you will hold your breath forever while continuing to live, or alternatively that you are already dead and haven’t yet learned of it. Progress stops for nobody’s body, but you may live out your existence with all the stock market acumen of a velociraptor, if you like.
One thing I was wondering recently is what are all the files in a tar.gz that I install. I’ve been messing with my remarkable tablet lately, and it’s a stripped down Linux environment. When I use wget to get packages, I get a usr folder with a bunch of stuff. I’m not really sure how to install thereafter? There’s no package manager.
What’s the structure behind: usr/, bin/ etc/ lib/ and moving those to usr/local? Any resources?
The core problem with the self-esteem movement is that they try to promote high self-esteem disconnected from any true achievement or worth. High self-esteem certainly correlates with healthy, successful people (of course healthy successful people have good self esteem!) but trying to artificially inflate peoples' self esteem to create health and success is driving the causation backwards.

Self esteem devoid of any underlying achievement is hollow. In the end you're basically manufacturing narcissists, with a fragile falsely inflated self image covering a chasm of insecurity.
As I understand it, this allows the researchers to decrypt the microcode but not to sign their own modified microcode, is that correct?
Totally agree with that. CTO needs to be creative so any "walkthroughs", best practices, etc should be based on logical conclusions coming out of project scope and goals.

Any ways to standardise it are deemed to produce illiterate "CTOs" who follow the notorious saying about a man with a hammer looking at every problem as a nail. There is a fair share of people like this in IT

Isn't ransomware profit-motivated? I thought with terrorism the goal was fear rather than profit.

Of course; it happens all the time. False flags (in the form of routed connections and much more) are extremely common in cyberwar and among cybercriminals, naturally. But can you name a time US law enforcement or military fucked up and fell for a "cyber false flag" [1], and mistakenly took action against the framed party? It may have happened, and I wouldn't be shocked, but I haven't actually seen a publicized case of it.

From having some knowledge of some investigations like these (though not on behalf of any government), the investigators and forensics experts are constantly asking themselves "is this a false flag? is this piece of evidence deliberately planted, or an actual mistake?" Investigators obviously want to get the right people and not get the wrong people. And in the case of nation-states, they also have classified information they can use (like from NSA global spying, etc.).

[1] (I shudder at the term "cyber" as much as anyone else reading this, but that pretty much is the official term the government uses.)
Terrorism is a buzzword that means "Person I don't like" now.
Are you trying to make the citizens of your country distrust everything the media and government says? Because this is how you make the citizens of your country distrust everything the media and government says.

In fact, it's not impossible that this is the exact intended effect of this mission. It's easy to think this is just ineffectual bumbling; but the real test might be to see how this "revelation" is used by those who are already suspicious of authority.
Yes in some cases there are bad things in this world that are promulgated and promoted under the guise of being good. Learning to recognize those bad things for what they are instead of naively accepting their self-serving sanguine explanations is part of being a developed adult.
Bitcoin was NEVER, in ANYWAY meant to be anonymous, but you HNer turds just love this strawman so much.

Why haven’t I heard about this before? This seems too important a detail for my school textbooks to have left out and for popular culture to lack any references to it whatsoever. What am I missing?

Ringing left over from a meteor impact, or plate tectonics.

If more earthquakes happen in phase with the pulsating, it would only increase the amplitude, forming a feedback loop.

I'd look at earthquake phase data to see if they are "helping" the pulsating.
I liked this blog's theme. What is it made of?
> It's a lot harder to design a secure hospital IT apparatus than a safe.

Yeah I agree there.

I'm curious what the surface area could look like. What is the minimum a hospital could operate with? How locked down could things be? Anyone in healthcare care to comment?
So like every other CoC, except with significantly less fear? (being branded a "dickhead" is something you can shrug off; being branded a bigot far less so).
Designed to destroy nuclear production facilities. Not terrorism.
With ML workloads being so ram intensive, more than a few times I wished AMD properly supported the right ML packages. Their cost/GB is such a good deal vs Nvidia.

As the first paragraph of the article has mentioned, at least xkcd has a reference [0].

> There is Windows and MacOS for users that want a computer that works.

This may have been true in 200x, but these days, both of those aren't so hot with respect to quality and just working.
Black hat bug bounty hunters, interesting.
Yes there probably is some blame on the hospitals for not securing things well, but there is a huge difference between preventing something from failing, and preventing something from being actively sabotaged.

If a hospital had random power cables everywhere and someone tripped over one and unplugged an important device, that would be far far more on the side of the hospitals fault than an attack on the computer systems.
Fair enough it is possible that we have "industrialized" outrage and gotten good at mass producing it, but being real, Donald Trump would have fit in great with 18th century politics.

This is my annual reminder to anyone who thinks politics has become uncivilized that Aaron Burr (a founding father) killed Alexander Hamilton (another founding father). Makes twitter jabs seem quaint.
I'm glad svelte 3 is adding the basic features of sapper. Although sapper was great, it will be even simpler to use without it.

The lack of a good router and SSR was what sapper added to svelte.
Does it have to be an online service or a specific hardware platform?
Who's in charge of "unpleasant things"? Are these things that a vast majority of the anglosphere, including POC, women, etc, wouldn't take offense to?

Maybe people are objecting to a tiny % of critical theorists trying to seize control of acceptable language with no mandate.
You write this as if it's insight, as if maybe it's the first time it's occurred to the reader that "good" things can be bad. We all know that. It's the sentences that come after that thought that have meaning.
I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps it was a high dimensional fragment. Or a local who all of a sudden thought he was a guard from the Philippines. Given the Don Quixote story, I'm more inclined to believe that. We should try not to be the Sancho Panza to the Quixotes out there.
I didn’t quite stake my career on it but working as embedded/network dev it was three years of my life. It was fun and I learned a ton of stuff about L2 that I almost never had to use and L3-4 that I still use frequently
For starters, the whole 'NOT FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE EVEN THOUGH YOU PAY FOR IT TO DO THESE SPECIFIC THINGS' contract thing needs to go die.

WRT engineering- if someone walks into a production cell and a robot swings and hits them in the head, guess who generally gets the blame in an investigation? The group that somehow didn't put safety scanners or a cell wall with door interlocks or didn't use safety-rated equipment.

There's a big difference between "guys, please get out of the way before I make the bot move" and "guys, I can't make the bot move until you're out of the way and the door is closed and latched" and worst-case scenario, that difference can be any number of human lives.

Surely things can improve, but it'll take time, dedication, and sucking it up and rewriting legacy code and probably being slower at pushing features out. (Keep in mind this isn't a universal guidebook- and should mostly be for companies that create software and infrastructure that is or can be life-critical.)
If the policy is followed, it sounds like driver signing will stop working as it did before. Presumably drivers signed before a certain date will work, but drivers signed after that won't. Or something.
And yet they don't. I've never seen a CoC serve to effectively clarify what is or isn't bigotry. In fact they serve to make things murkier: people find it much easier to agree on whether someone's conduct was a priori acceptable than on whether it was or wasn't a CoC violation.

From a purely technical perspective, what were the advantages and disadvantages compared to a technology like LTE or LTE advanced?
What does it mean by "bazel" wants to control everything? AFAIK, it simply needs ways to get to the source of another package - whether it's http_archive, or who knows what, and how to build it.
It's not that simple.

You have your usual bucket of nutcases, who get offended by everything, and everything is sexist (airconditioning), racist (milk) or *-phobic.

But then you have cases, where a mere accusation of anything even without proof) can destroy peoples lives, eg:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_lacrosse_case

You also have (somewhat) mainstream media spreading such fake news:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rape_on_Campus

You also have individuals, eg. Johnny Depp getting acused by Amber Heard, losing his upcoming acting roles, and after a time (and 87 cctv videos), she's found to be the crazy/violent one.

You have people like Pewdiepie getting accused of being a racist many times:

https://www.vox.com/2018/12/13/18136253/pewdiepie-vs-tseries...

Pewdiepie has a special 'power', that he gets more views than Vox does, so he can atleast present his side of the story ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjCsOmDmjEU ).

Some people don't have that media presence, but the media atleast scewed up enough, so they're no settling multimillion dollar lawsuits (Nick Sandmann, the 'smirking guy').

Now imagine, you're not a famous person, and you're not in a position of being able to sue CNN. Just one mere accusation (whout proof, without anything), can totally destroy your life, and you have no way to fight back. No police report, no judge, no jury, just one "he said, she said", one complaint, and there's nothing you can do... you lose your job, maybe even your carreer, you might get thrown out of your college, or worse. The accuser can lie to the media, say you said something -ist, or -phobic, and there's literally nothing you can do.

Now combine the "nutcases" with accusations, and your code using master/slave terminology is racist (as a slav, i have no idea why 'slave' is considered racist), boy/girl in character selection screen and never after is transphobic, and i have no idea what "not implementing all the pronouns" is.

Now, we have two options... either we become sensitive to everytihing, and destroy normal human relations and comedy (although, we've gone most of the way there, because of so many protected groups and actions, not allowed to be joked about, the only group you can target your jokes at are white men (with movies like 40 days and 40 nights, where a rape of a man is a comedic high point, and many other examples)), or we can just grow up, not get offended by something someone somewhere said or did (especially if it was a joke), and not "cancel" people because of that.
Media abuse is not a new thing. Understand that the current iteration is worse than the last one and that has resulted in worse polarization is probably a better way to put it.
I can assure you that speaking out against CoCs under your real name in a professional context can be quite difficult. The people who tend to create, promote, and defend CoCs tend to engage in incredibly Kafkaesque and pathological behavior as a matter of course.

As far as HN goes, I use the term "intelligent" quite loosely but one of the hallmarks of intelligence is pattern recognition.
What makes it not terrorism? Because the target was government-run facilities instead of civilians, or something else?
Is it true that the 2600 game wasn't supposed to look as good as the Colecovision game? That is why they limited it to 4096 bytes. Activision used 8K and 16K ROMs to make their games look better. Considering he had three months to write it, that is the real reason why it doesn't look that good.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
I am a regular/core developer, others are either core or seniors.
I had a teacher in high school (black). He was an absolute favorite of students of all backgrounds. Extremely strict, very buttoned up. In the arts department. I think he literally was the advisor for like the multi-cultural club (that did somewhat lame lunch multi-cultural stuff).

He put on a performance that turned out was racist or sexist or something. Think les miserable - we were always doing stuff like that, so the stories were very varied.

Bam, he was gone. Even the students in the group that should have been offended were like, he's great. But there was a very very vocal very small set of more activist parents (white BTW!) with one or two students who were after him. Reminds me of the (white again) liberals in Portland or Seattle going after the police chief to cut her pay etc (black women).

I was like, who cares what two parents and their kids think. But they got in the paper talking about the racist (I think?) environment he created / messages being sent / cultural appropriation etc. This is theatre - people dress up as different characters so no question an identity politics issue was there most likely.

And yes - he was gone the next year after something like 12 years of building up this amazing program. His performances were sold out for multiple showings (literally everyone in school, every parent, every relative, randos went). The shows were major. All the context was overlooked (this guy was so formal he was never crude / rude or insulting). He'd spent all these extra hours doing all these things to bring different groups together - through music and more (he was an immigrant).

Two to three people, a scared / sensitive admin team, and boom, thousands of folks the worse for his going.

Everyone is worse for this. A lot of the categories of offense are extremely broad or very subtle and penalties are very severe.
