> Microsoft blocked my outlook.com account for using a VPN. Any ideas? […] The reason is that I use NordVPN to connect to the internet.

That is weird. Are you confident NordVPN caused the problem?

I ask because I also have a NordVPN subscription. I have it for more than a year now. I keep it running 24/7 and switch countries every 2-3 days. I visit all the major websites, and I have never had significant problems with my accounts. Google Search is probably the only website (that I remember) that blocks NordVPN IP addresses, but I connect to a different server and reload the page to continue.

When I switch between NordVPN servers, I do it across countries. For example, I browse the Internet for a couple of hours from France and then switch to a Japan server. It is impossible to travel between France and Japan in less than 5 minutes, so, Outlook —among other companies— flag these connections as highly suspicious. However, aside from a security alert, I have never had any problems connecting to my online accounts. Even my banks are cool with NordVPN.

I am not saying NordVPN was not the cause of your problems. Anything is possible.

It would help me, though, to know what server(s) you selected to avoid connecting to them.

You can find them in the NordVPN connection history or system logs.

I hope you recover access to your account. Thanks in advance.

Don’t be such an wide-eyed optimist, the US election will lead to 3 months of strife in the best case scenario. Both sides expect the other will try to steal the election, so how is it going to relieve anything?
I would personally give a different summation. It seems like you're free unless you use that freedom in a way the state doesn't like. Which is a rather ineffective version of freedom, it only guarantees you can do things that you wouldn't need any guarantee for in the first place.
No, the Belgian FN line produced only metric parts. Commonwealth aresenals produced only inch.

You could interchange inch and metric lowers as complete units, but not the parts within.

There were separate NATO Stock Numbers for the various parts.
Can any person in the planet edit the same document than you in real time, for free, running hardware up to 5 to 10 years old, in < 3 min after receiving a link with Omnigraff ?

I had this question for a long time and the two options I came up with are this:

1) Apple Photos -- obviously only works on macOS/iOS devices (although not only with photos created by their devices -- I imported everything from way before ever getting an iPhone, for example), but it's damn near flawless in my opinion, and even creates nice little presentation slideshow/videos called "memories" all on it's own, about one a day (highlighting specific people, events, or places).

2) A Synology NAS using their PhotoStation package + their mobile/desktop uploader apps (or PhotoSync on mobile, which is a bit more rock solid). Face recognition isn't as good as Apple/Google, and there's no automated AI stuff like Apple/Google either, but it works much better than I honestly expected, and I have no complaints from my mostly-tech-clueless family. Plus you own the hardware.

I ended up opting for both.
The Programming Language Keris
All new cases reported in Australia today (Sun Nov 1, from tests performed on Sat Oct 31st) were acquired overseas and are in hotel quarantine.

Aside from them there were no new cases, even between close contacts (household etc).

So, the title is true for locally acquired cases, which I believe is the point the submitter is trying to make.

(Also there was only one locally acquired case the previous day, in the state of South Australia, which has barely had an outbreak at all, thanks to having a sparse population and relatively little international air traffic).

There were over 76000 test results processed to achieve that result, and there is a strong message through the community to get tested with even the mildest/vaguest of symptoms. Testing is free and stations are located to be easily accessible to most of the population, particularly in Victoria, which had a serious outbreak from June to September.
The title should be "no new locally-acquired cases", but there was actually one that came in after the cut-off time so it will be counted in tomorrow's numbers.
You really can't: that may well cause some other root to blow up. Rootfinding may be one of the simplest nontrivial problems in numerical analysis, and yet it still goes wrong plenty often.
> If we forbid gifts, because they're an obvious transfer of wealth, what about financial transactions that favour one party? Should it be legal for a rich parent to sell their car to their offspring for below market value? How much below market value?

In fact, this is already illegal, but there's no enforcement. (Enforcement would be challenging in any realistic scenario; it always is when every party to a transaction benefits from it.)

According to the law, whenever you obtain anything from anyone (not just relatives) at a price below market value, you have to pay taxes on the difference.
> just leave 10 bloated websites open on a glorified netbook from 2014 is more to blame than anything else

Sometimes yes, but;

And how are non technical users supposed to know they should not do this? A lot of people do not know how bookmarks or even ‘windows’ work so they leave open the websites they visit so they do not forget them or have to open them again... How would they know that this is bad? The browser supports it and no one told them. For them there is no correlation between tabs and computer slow. Just as many people, when you say ‘your memory is full’ start throwing away picture from their drive. I think you vastly overestimate computer users... I am ‘the computer guy’ of the village because ‘I do stuff with computers’ and I run into the strangest things all the time. There is, for instance, a large stack of perfectly fine laptops in my house because some people just bought new ones because the old one ‘was slow’ and they were fed up.

Also, what do tabs open have to do with IQ?
What a confusing title.

That's why I said: "Now how would that be managed in practice, no idea, and I haven't fully thought through everything here"

It's clear that finding mechanisms to implement this would be the next steps, but also not worth thinking about if people refute the premise itself. That said, I'm not going to accept refuting the premise based on the fact that we don't know how to implement it, that's circular to me.
Great piece, I think human satisfaction should be the most important metric when measuring products. The article implies somewhat it’s not. Also I think product which engages you and make you feel you learned something adds value, but only if you overcome the challenges (IKEA, Emacs)
It was a bit hard to read honestly. A bit of rehash but that is most of the content on the internet anyways. Felt like someone writing for a school assignment.
That is misleading. Although you're technically correct [1], the computational models on which computational complexity classes are based are so abstract and idealized, that they offer almost no information whether your program could make efficient use of an actual, physical 8-core CPU.

The NC complexity class assumes a PRAM machine, in which all processors can access all locations of a central memory in constant time. That's not how a multi-core CPU works in practice: If your parallel algorithm doesn't make proper use of cache-locality, you've already lost.

[1] (the best kind of correct)
I’m not sure I understand the peer review aspect.

> If Academic Substack were used across scientific disciplines, the potential for innovative collaboration and robust review would strengthen academic publication in ways difficult to imagine under the present regime.

Does Substack have peer review built in somehow? Would the peer review be in the comments?

Either way, there’s currently a spam comment on this article - can the author moderate comments or is that stuck there until Substack remove it?
I haven't seen any cleverness in reactive code that one wouldn't encounter in a non-reactive code base. It is true that one may need to learn new abstractions, but a more imperative coding style requires lots of glue code, much of it having inconsistent quality. You'll end up needing ramp-time no matter how you go. Building UI involves the same problems and trade-offs whether using reactive programming techniques or not.

Conal Elliott's work, while super interesting, does not cover the entirety of reactive programming. I found this[1] write-up to be helpful in defining what reactive programming is and it's value. The author is a member of the team working on Swift Concurrency.

And SwiftUI is compatible with anything from UIKit, so it actually doesn't hold anyone back who wants to try to do something non-trivial. If you watch the demos, particularly from the most recent WWDC, you'll see it actually makes quite complex behavior much more doable. Does that reduce the value of esoteric framework knowledge? Perhaps it does, but that means engineers now have more time to spend on the product not less.

I think the point is fair. From the perspective of liberty, there's no government using aggressive force against you; this is a perfectly free-market phenomenon.

That said, that doesn't mean it's always moral. For example, I don't feel comfortable saying at my place of work (software engineer) that women are biologically different than men and this probably has a large impact on why the field isn't 50/50 men/women.

I think this is a perfectly reasonable position, yet there's no way I could say this at work. I'd lose my job, just like James Damore.

So, I don't think that what is being done is wrong in the political sense, but I do think unfair cancellations are unethical. I think it's fine to "cancel" people/businesses/organizations that cause or allow unfair cancellations to take place. I already quietly decline to do business with and lobby against companies that adopt "woke" postures.

I'm part of a silent majority that votes with their wallet, I suppose.
> I do worry about the US though

Europe isn't looking much different right now.
> I used to think the same thing but I spent some time researching the impact of previous technological revolutions on jobs. In almost every case, more jobs end up being created.

Historically, yes, but I think that's a fatally flawed analysis this time around.

It's important to consider the minimum skill level required by the market. Not all jobs require the same level of mental acuity. To date, automation has consistently removed lower skilled jobs and replaced them with higher skilled ones.

There are obviously physical limits to that process and I am convinced that we are rapidly approaching them. Take a look through the present day cutting edge results in machine learning, remembering that today's cutting edge is tomorrow's par for the course.
I thought about that but the video from the article seems to be only a single camera. If there's really only one running, then that seems like an odd choice in and off itself. Perhaps only one malfunctioned because it's closer to that particular lineman.

I’ve got the exact opposite experience. Mesos is far more complex to run due to difficulty of developing a framework correctly. Kubernetes made the trade off to schedule centrally and that is probably the correct thing to do and definitely the more easy model to wrap your head around.
This calls to mind an incident from a couple years ago in Columbus, Ohio. After a negligent lane-changing sedan spun my car 360 degrees and into the rail guard, the responding police officer ordered a tow truck for me without my knowledge. When the truck arrived, the driver told me he could either take my car to his body shop or the city impound lot, in which case I would need to pay later for a second tow to the body shop of my choosing plus any storage fees.

I did not appreciate this strong arm sales tactic and told him he wasn't touching my vehicle. The cop insisted that I allow the tow. She apparently was required to stay at the scene until the disabled vehicles were removed and did not want to wait for a tow truck of my choosing. I held firm. After several minutes of back and forth, the cop begrudgingly allowed me to drive my heavily damaged vehicle a few hundred yards to an exit ramp and park it on a side street.

An accident report was never filed, so my insurance company wasn't able to collect damages from the other party's insurance on my behalf. Perhaps there was a clerical error or perhaps the cop wanted to punish my assertiveness.

I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not. What part of my comment led you to label me a wide-eyed optimist?

By "hopefully provides a temporary relief", I was thinking on a longer scale as in maybe sometime next year and more along the lines of getting to come up for a breath when we've had a hand holding our heads below water for four years.
It is an illustration of a concept. I wouldn't call it a joke, but I also wouldn't use it.
My thoughts exactly. The one problem with native apps is the resources and time you need to develop the same app for several platforms. That's all.

> The difference between having 1,000 and 10,000 nuclear weapons is fairly meaningless from a MAD standpoint, but the second still costs ~10 times as much.

Forget about MAD, that was an interim doctrine that faded out in the late 1960s.

Once delivery systems demonstrated sufficient accuracy to hit point targets the doctrine changed to counterforce.

For counterforce, targeting individual weapons and enablers, you need lots of lower-yield warheads. The total yield of the nuclear aresenals actually declined as a result.
See, that’s the kind of thing that’s absolutely fascinating. Some scribe thought they were being clever a few centuries ago, and the glyph will now live on forever in our modern equivalent of a collective myth known as “the Unicode standard”, with people discovering new uses for it for generations to come.
It's because CCP's constitution overrides the China's constitution when there's any conflict. So the freedom of speech, assembly, protest and religion basically means that "as long as it doesn't piss CCP off". Don't make any reasoning about China based on a western standard; In China, CCP comes first before anything else including the national body itself.
> I'm strongly in favor of greater re-use of these enormous machines that require intense capital investment, and valuable and limited resources to create.

Yes, though as long as Tesla is up-front about their restrictions, people can take those considerations into account when they make their capital investment.
And from the latest comment on this issue (https://github.com/christianbundy/octotree/issues/1#issuecom...): It seems that the project switched from MIT to AGPL around 2016, so all the contributor commits before that doesn't matter. Excluding those, there's only 10 commits from people outside the team, which frankly isn't a big deal.

Anyways, it's frustrating that the author is kinda acting a bit scummy for something that might not have been even a problem. If he was a bit patient and had just got permission from those people beforehand... (I don't really think any of those 10 people would object to it since the commits aren't that big, unless one of them is a free software movement purist perhaps) And people generally agree on Mozilla's "95% author coverage" line so I think this controversy might have been a bit overblown.

Something I read (could have been on HN) theorized the only outcome that doesn't lead to social unrest is a Biden landslide.
At least for the purposes of comparing to web apps, the criteria would be: responsive/low-latency (responds to input quickly), fast (completes tasks quickly), uses resources proportional to the functionality it provides, and doesn't often hang or spend noticeable amounts of time waiting for a network request before responding to an action.

Applications that meet these criteria include: Thunderbird, KiCAD, VLC, Vim, tmux, Blender, evince, Handbrake, and Pidgin.
Interesting.

>Is this what you're talking about?

I'm not quite sure, since I don't know much about phonetics / linguistics, as I said above.

Something like this, the French sound from near the top of your link above:

But that nasal sound is not exactly the same as the nasal sound in aankh (at least to my untrained ear).

Can't describe it better than that, sorry.

GPR project files are just a kind of config file. Their syntax is different than TOML files, but they could easily be given the capability to list dependencies and versions.
STM is not a solution to the pain of futures, STM is a "solution" to the pain of properly using locks, in particular when the concurrency is very fine-grained.

A future internally is just a value or a set of waiters. Whether they are "colored" (ie. can you wait on a future in a non-future context), or based on threads or cooperative concurrency (ie. async) etc. is entirely an implementation detail, with significantly differing trade-offs.

In that sense, you can really only compare future implementations with other concurrency systems.
> algebraic sense of wonder

I strongly identify with this view. Have always loved math. I remember writing a paper in middle school on how all of nature is built on math which ties closely with this quote "algebraic sense of wonder". My B.S. degree is in mathematics and I loved it.

And yet... I very strongly - no, extremely - dislike functional programming. When building concrete things, I love pragmatism above all else and to me functional is the diametrical opposite of that. A CPU has registers, instructions and addressable memory. Any abstraction that strays too far from that reality is a distraction (and maintenance burden) I don't want to deal with.
Well I've never understood what you're hoping to accomplish with any of this; insisting that people should have a legal right that you don't want them to exercise seems quixotic at best, if not completely meaningless. (As a legal realist, I think we should evaluate law like any other human activity; licenses that lead to outcomes that we want are good, licenses that lead to outcomes that we don't want are bad). But I think using a license that granted permission to do the things you actually wanted people to do and a pledge not to sue for the things you want to not sue for would communicate your intentions more clearly. I, at least, assume that when someone uses a license that grants me permission to do something (such as falsely claim authorship of their code), they approve of me doing that thing, because that's what people granting permission in a license normally mean by that grant of permission.
Is it though?

There's, imo, a reasonable expectation that if some of those characters were used then some other might be later, and it's easier to have them already in the standard than reserving space for them and then having to backfill it, I suppose.
Granted; I spoke much too broadly. According to the classical sources, -m fully disappears when followed by a vowel. (Though same-word intervocalic -m- does not.) Poetic meter backs this claim up robustly.

It's actually a little bit weirder than that; the vowel before -m also disappears. But it's certainly plausible for some nasalization to remain anyway.

> and/or lengthening of the preceding vowel

You're referring to -ns- / -nf-? You're also right there. As far as I'm aware, this doesn't happen for -nd- / -nt-, though.

> Also youtuber ScorpioMartianus has invested some time into training himself into using reconstructed pronunciation and has talked extensively about that

While that sounds like a cool project, I don't think it necessarily has a lot to tell us about the historical pronunciation. I think you could develop a pronunciation system that matched nearly every documented feature of a dead language while failing to match a large number of undocumented features.
So if we're bootstrapping side projects instead of looking for angel funding, should we sign up for this future founder track or the original one?
Another thing that's helping Australia is that they're heading into summer.

Normalized by population the worst non-tiny (10M+) countries to be right now seem to be France, Italy, Belgium and Poland. And it'd be even worse in France, Italy and Poland in terms of new cases if they had the kind of testing throughput the US has been able to muster (1.24M tests a day). Belgium has comparable normalized test throughput. As far as cases, new cases = positivity * throughput. The higher the throughput, the more cases you are going to get.
