It was a whole new world to create a .com file with just debug.com and some assembly (most of the work is already in interrupt 21h). Good times.

I looked at DOS .exe (NE? or was that the format for Win 3.1...) format too. Still relatively simple. Then came the PE which was super complicated.
In a similar vein, I look forward to adding less lines and removing more in my git commits.
This was actually my mother's dream in life, and I guess mine also, that if she had enough money to go back to school and always be learning new things.

However I tend to work best self taught, so I would probably prefer a direct tutoring model if necessary - if I had the money of course.
nice, man! I think I can reach 156WPM, just gotta get in that focused mindset haha
Back in the day my Windows system would BSOD every other week for no apparent reason. I cant remember the last time I had that on my Win10 machine; I guess this was an overall improvement to consumers. I sympathise with the driver creators here, but I wouldn't want to go back to those BSOD times, just so that some niche drivers can be signed on Win7 systems.
> it's just that the semantics of optional don't help it be used as a classic optional type.

what do you mean "classic optional type"? boost.optional has worked like that for something like 20 years - it's been in C++ for longer than Maybe has been in Haskell.
Well, may sound like some fresh approach, but again and again I see comparison of armed vs less armed countries instead armed vs unarmed. Wanna real answers, do a real comparisons.
The courts will decide whether Amazon is right. One totally reasonable outcome might be that Amazon and other vendors will not be allowed to use the word "Purchase" for content that you do not own outright in perpetuity with rights similar to those of a book purchaser.
You have to use AREA interpolation for downscaling. Bilinear will only interpolate among the 4 nearest source image pixels. It still ignores most of the source pixels.

This is in essence a special version of sampling artifacts, aliasing artifacts. Anyone writing image processing software should already know about aliasing, the Nyquist theorem etc. Or, well, perhaps not in the current hype, where everyone is a computer vision expert who took one Keras tutorial...

Resizing with nearest neighbor or bilinear (ie ignoring aliasing) also hurts ML accuracy, so they better fix it even regardless of this specific "attack".
It's interesting that he is so vehemently in favor of "cancel culture" given two things:

The reason many people oppose it is because it often leads to completely innocent people being harassed and/or ostracized (or worse). So, in that way, his situation makes a very fitting example of many of the things wrong with cancel culture and highlights a few of the reasons why detractors oppose this kind of attack.

Secondly, it's unfortunate that, despite buying into cancel culture and believing it is merely "facing consequences", he doesn't mention any names. If I were in favor of this kind of social retribution, I definitely would think that the members of this committee should "face consequences". At the very least, they should be removed from the committee, as clearly these people shouldn't have the authority to enforce any CoC, let alone a particularly nebulous one.

All in all, though, I feel very bad for him and, if nothing else, hopefully this doesn't bring him any more trouble.

Typical hipster web dev now days! Go back to the basic.
From the article:

> go to sleep at the same time every night.

I do not agree. From personal experience, I'll be wasting hours some days trying to fall asleep.

If anything, wake up at the same hour every day and go to bed when tired.
is it like this? http://www.ericbrasseur.org/gamma.html?i=1
This is clear writing?

2. Because we know nothing about the local conditions, we could not determine how effectively the committee had allocated funds to areas that need the most assistance.

We can't tell if the committee spent wisely because we don't know our way around here.
That is more or less why I wrote the things I wrote. By arguing it was against their ToS, they implied it was technically feasible. It however doesn't mean it isn't also technically infeasible, so I still believe Spotify could take a big fat dump of the data in any format they chose, zip it up and send it to the other controller, and it would be within the GDPR requirements.

If people think that GDPR grants consumers the right on which services exist and how data should represented etc, then I think they are misinformed.

Spotify could have answered with "That API is no longer available, but we will facilitate the transfer of an archived version of the data", and... I mean, what clause of GDPR does he have to complain or demand they do anything different?
> You certainly wouldn’t use a language like JS,

I disagree with this. You might not want to use JS but a language “like” JS such as TS or Lua would definitely be on the table. Or just JS without the biggest warts.

> you certainly would want to provide visual design tools as far as possible,

I feel that the promise of visual design tools fell quite short. Issues with version control and general traceability of changes and the ultimate non feature parity with code make me think that code first interfaces are the future.

> APIs would be replaced with standard protocols,

Could you elaborate what do you mean? I assume REST apis but that is basically just HTTP.

> and probably you’d use a relatively small XML for layout.

As long as the language is robust enough to not move stuff around when the UI slightly changes. I feel that XML (and to an extent html) is too lax to express a programmatically created interface.

> So perhaps only the HTML is anything like what you’d use. There’d be no transpilation, no webpack, no polyfills, no CSS, no JS.

In a different world you could replace these steps by compilation, compiler, backwards compatibility libraries, a styling framework and a language of choice.

I think you have shown that JS ecosystem has grown very organically. I think this is because the nature of web developers was to put stuff out rather than really think about how do make it the correct way. I believe this is because of constraints, on a native platform you had the option to go down to assembly or create a new language or paradigm. On web only the browser vendor has this power, all the dev had was JavaScript.
The attack part seems to be that husky ai is down scaling images it uses to train its model. If it was vulnerable to this attack its down scaling would expose the hidden image and use that for training instead of the user visible image. I think this could be used to trick manual or even automated reviews of the input.

I think around 2016 in USA(?)

IMHO the problem is that with reusing your scale I typically see:

Management that don't really understand tech and is afraid to try things

THE IDEAL

|
Management that don't really understand business (and sometimes tech too) and is focused on tech fashion

Surprise the ideal is hard because it requires both tech and business experience to recognize how best practices and new tech could bring value in a specific context. The job is to make clients happy by solving their problems, with apps that are nice to use, bug free, performant, maintainable, evolvable, with a usually short time to market and obviously for the best cost. Sometimes that equation is solved with a complex stack, architecture and practices with hundreds of engineers, and sometimes with a few web pages, inlined CSS, a bit of vanilla JS, and a solo dev.
Yeah, the default implementation should check the scaling factor and use AREA interpolation when downscaling and bilinear for upscaling.
I think this is the key point. They want to have their cake and eat it. Either sell me things or stop using everyday words that imply you are.
People are notoriously bad at evaluating catastrophic failure event chances.

Most people will say: "Yeah, it's a big unsafe (they won't even phrase it like that), but I will be more careful and it will be all right".

Then the next day they'll go to that party and drive home tipsy.

In Germany they're needed as well. And in my home town there's actually two streets with the same name in very different parts of the city, distinguishable by postcode.

Furthermore, they ease automatic sorting and sure, once your mail reaches your local postperson, they know the neighborhood and names and addresses, but that doesn't mean postcodes don't serve a purpose.
I stand corrected!

The branding is pretty confusing. My device/plan had HS mode which is apparently WiMax 2+/TD-LTE, and HS+A mode which is normal LTE and much faster. And, use of the much faster HS+A mode was limited to 7GB per month. Once you go over 7GB, the speed of both modes is throttled to 128kbps for the rest of the month.

All "Code of Conducts" are toxic rules designed to provide SJWs (social justice warriors) with the means to "cancel" people for wrong think and/or allow them to bully people.

You are so correct! Knowledge that I have acquired just for the love of it has given me the greatest value in my career.
Your party wouldn't have a formal written document that claims to set out specific rules, wouldn't be inviting arbitrary members of the public on the basis of a shared interest, would make no claim to be anything other than an arbitrary group of people picked by you on the basis of whatever, and generally differs from this situation in a lot of ways.

Nonetheless, if you invited a bunch of people to your party, then you and three others inexplicably ganged up on one of them, told them they were a bad person for claiming someone else was wrong, bullied them, made them cry and then banned them from future parties, then that sort of behaviour probably would get around and you'd soon develop a reputation for being an asshole.

Before today's post I had no views on JupyterCon, after today's post my view is that it seems to be run by assholes; that will certainly impact my future decisions around Jupyter and its community if I end up in a position to need to make them. That outcome could have been avoided by the advice to follow best practices from the legal system. This unfortunate blog post could have been avoided, and JupyterCon would have its reputation intact.
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan are examples of politicians that I mostly disagree with their views but I've never regarded them as personally dishonest.
There are a lot of systems in a hospital. Maybe 3000 different systems, made by different suppliers, some long gone.

In good countries, we maintain important records and have roll back capabilities on most of the things we control ourselves. But that doesn’t necessarily include the MRI machines windows XP that is maintained by some third party supplier that operates through another 3rd party seller, and that’s just one of the 3000 things that can go wrong.

Then there is the parts where attacks will affect you, even if they don’t do any damage that can’t be reversed. Typically global internet access gets shut down during an attack, but that makes transfers harder. It also makes acute arrivals harder, because the ambulance helicopter might not be in range of your “internal internet” and thus may not be capable of feeding you important live data.

Some attacks target the network itself, and while you’ll generally have a good set of people running that, they aren’t always a match for nation state backed hacking tools.

So there is just a billion things that can go wrong, even if you have the best of the best working on it, and in many countries, there is a good chance that’s not even the case. I can count myself lucky to work in a country where we take digitisation very serious in the public sector, and I can easily see why things could go wrong.
Nobody really has any idea how much money it takes to influence political agendas. All the corporate money in the world couldn't stop Donald Trump from getting elected and instituting his tariff, but in other cases very small amounts of money can get policies in place that vastly enrich a few insiders.

Besides the issues mentioned by other posters about privacy, there are a few issues with the messaging and layout.

The icon, name and tagline "evidence" all together form a very serious omnious, dangereous impression. I would suggest rewording the tagline into something that sounds less like from a police tv show. First idea - "A way to show that your picture is real"

The use cases are very useful, as it might not be immediately clear what good this is for.
Their formatting is too dense. One idea would be to split the use cases for different categories of clients - retail, marketing, sports, etc. So that a client needs only to scan his own use case column.

The right hand navigation dots are inconsistent - mixed language and bad spelling

The "For business" section is lackluster and inconsitently styled

When I go on `primevideo.com` it tells me "Rent 3,99€" or "Buy 9,99€", which adds even more to the confusion.

Not even Java applets, but Silverlight.

Hoo boy it was awesome to work with. But. It came out at the wrong time. Linux was coming up as a desktop, MS was still evil. Mono was mostly a hobby project.

The backlash of trying to use "proprietary M$ crap" for web was too big of a hurdle to cross, even if the technology behind Silverlight was lightyears ahead of the drek that was Java Applets.
> Using violence to attempt to cause a regime change without formally declaring war, sounds much more like the traditional definition of terrorism

Or insurrection.

Unless we're talking about some fourth-world wish-we-had-even-bananas republic, there will be geopolitics in play. The rebelling groups are almost certainly being funded, either directly or indirectly, by foreign governments.

Those rebels, are they terrorists or freedom fighters? Are the foreign governments funding terrorism or supporting unnecessarily violent grass-roots opposition? Where does political meddling end and waging a covert war begin?

Can you ever be cynical enough?

Jews were taking part in public life in rather big and noticeable ways throughout written history. There's a book about one of them that's quite well read...

I think it's clear that you're going to keep looking for real or imagined differences between the situations to dismiss the parallels, because the parallels are uncomfortable. That's fine, there's no expectation on you to recognise how dangerous so-called 'social justice warriors' are today. But think about the similarities instead of searching about for reasons to just reject the whole train of thought outright. It may prove important.

Is a service for feature flags, where feature flags are a software pattern in a way. If you want to learn more about it, have a look into this: https://martinfowler.com/articles/feature-toggles.html

In a nutshell, it allows developers to deploy new features but hide them based on a flag. Once it is ready to be released (example: product gave an ok, big announcement happened etc), then this feature just needs to be enabled through this flag. Now, this flag can be an environment variable, but for apps you will probably need a service, which the app always fetch the latest feature configs.

We use it here (although using Flaggio https://github.com/victorkt/flaggio) and it is super useful for continuous delivery. And you can as well control features based on groups (example: show just for beta users) or hide features if some bug was discovered.
But it's still "and <noun> <verb> why." Not very creative.

I don't have much experience, but two different dancing groups I attended started each night with an hour-long "lesson" with a teacher, after which the rest of the night was free dancing (well, one group charged an admission fee, but I mean no one was giving directions). Looking at a couple of other groups' websites, it seems like this is common.

I suppose you could use "whether someone attended the 'lesson' period" as a sign of whether they will take coaching well.
