Syncing photos off. Termux has sshd (you have to start it manually once, then it stays running until Termux is killed or the phone is rebooted).

With ssh-copy-id it takes a single command (1-line script) to rsync the phone's DCIM directory to my main machine for further processing. Nothing needs to be done on the phone at all other than to lightly nudge it to wake it up so sshd sees the connection attempt.

Downside: Android security clampdowns mean termux can't see the SD card. So I can only sync down the phone's internal camera directory and that's where I have to store the new pictures and videos. This means space occasionally runs low and I have to move stuff to the SD card. But in the future, they probably won't allow Termux to even work any more in its current form - no "exec" of executables that werent' installed as part of the apk.

Why do all this? Because I'm old school. My phone is an extension of my data ecosystem, which lives on (redundant and backed-up) hard disks in my home computing setup. I don't even let the phone sync the photos to the cloud.

Admittedly I've found no other practical uses for it; all the interesting stuff is blocked by Android security (e.g. back up or otherwise process your call/SMS history).
I've been meaning to write a bot that randomly posts the Always Sunny in Philadelphia quote "Because of the implication.." every ten minutes. It might get gummed up a bit with RIP or self-harm threads but I am certain after enough time it would be net karma positive.
Cloud devs was great to work with and walked you through the entire process up front. They were able to quickly identify qualified resources and we found the exact skill sets we were looking for. This resource was very professional, got up to speed quickly in a complex environment and was a key reason why our project was a success!

I keep a Windows 7 machine for World of Warcraft. I will never update it. It is not even fully patched, to avoid the nagging patches. I update Defender, that's it. I don't run untrusted code so that isn't an issue. Some day I will have to get Win10 for a newer machine, but it will be LTSC. LTSC should be able to play games just fine and is what the default Windows 10 should have been, in my opinion. I will have to get a really beefy machine to compensate for the extra bloat in the Windows 10 kernel.

I am not at all impressed with how Microsoft handled Windows 10. One would assume that with all the telemetry, they would have a solid highly optimized OS by now. This is not the case. A family member has nothing but problems with Windows 10 + VR + games, etc... I have identical hardware and have none of their issues.
In just the most general sense, you do this by associating a public key with something else that is already presumed to be trusted, eg belonging to the alleged owner.

For example, a DNS record belonging to twillio.com, saying their npm public key is “xyz”.

Then, to the point others mentioned here, you include the logic to verify this in the package managers, ie compare the signed package with the trustee public key. Although the verification would also be something that could easily be done by a human as well.

Your points of failure here are a) trusting the DNS system, which is acceptable for most use cases, and b) trusting the package manager, which is a similar situation to a above.

There are a few types of dns records that are meant for this already, depending on the specific, but probably a txt record is fine and I think what most people do now, though I could be wrong about that.

> I think "show just how science works" has become a bit of a meme for "we need to roll back this mistaken/over-ambitious claim".

You say this as if it's a small feat. The willingness to rollback a claim you made, ambitious or mundane, is surprisingly difficult for people to do. Most of science is about making claims based on the best evidence that you have with some level of confidence.

Where we run into problems, just look in the news, is when claims become invariant, regardless of new data, methods, theories.
IBM wasn't the least poorly managed. It's just that they weren't a workstation vendor in the same sense.

IBM had some Unix workstations, but that was never their core. Their core was mainframes. IBM could lose the Unix workstation business without blinking. Whereas Sun, SGI, etc., if they lost the Unix workstations, they were dead, because that was who they were.
Speculation is a choice, not a necessity. Investors make that choice, knowing that governments will choose whether or not to support it.

Your economic reductionism is blind to political realities: a government that implements unpopular policies will most likely be voted out. Governments don't just create more home owners to generate more property taxes, they create more home owners when enough voters want to become home owners.

You say "home ownership is not for everyone" as though that blesses the status quo as some kind of natural permanent state. Home ownership is for those who can afford it. A reduction in prices (lower construction costs, greater supply, etc.) increases home affordability, which increases home ownership. Yes, it may never be for everyone, but equally it can be for more people.
I hate to say this, but I do think CMMI's model is a good idea at its core. The model itself is actually pretty solid. That is, everything it describes is something a good organization should do, and the requirement to document the processes + train people is a sound one.

But the appraisals and how most businesses treat it are, well, moronic.

The appraisals are easily gamed so that if you do everything on paper you're pretty much going to get your target level (3 is good enough for 99% of contracts if matters at all). And businesses try to treat the model as a process, when it's not.

The former means that the appraisal results are useless. You cannot judge anyone by being level 3 or 5. That often just means they played the game better, not that they're actually better.

The latter, though, is the worst part. CMMI is broken into a number of process areas (I'm happy to report I no longer recall the number of areas). It describes them in psuedo-process or procedural terms. That is, you could take what they describe and make a process, but it would be a very linear and simple process. What's intended is for you to say how your process maps to their model.

But organizations don't do that, they do moronic things instead like scrap the above and write a whole new document that's 40 pages of nothing but plagiarizing the CMMI book saying how they do things, but it's almost entirely a lie because no one (except the sacrificial team sent to be appraised) actually does it that way.
The next headline would be: "Stopping and Starting Subscriptions Pose a Threat to Legitimate Streaming Platforms"

> Their inverted cache hierarchy and lack of persistence between kernel launches is a concern for memory locality.

Hmm, I can certainly agree to that. There's some tricks to try to minimize that issue, but they're complicated to use and really screw up the overall architecture.

Batching up a larger batch of things to process can help for that. But GPUs have much smaller caches in general and are clearly designed for running out of VRAM. (With caches mainly for atomic / synchronization here and there). A100 only has 40MBs of L2 cache (last level), but the extra threads really eat up that space faster than you expect.
> Of course English doesn't use the low register in this context - which is why I'm wondering why it was provided as an example of English having two registers

If English "doesn't use the low register in this context", then that implies that there _are_ different registers for different contexts, right?

In English, that is. In Dutch or German or Swedish, there are not.

> And "coal" and "carbon" are not interchangeable.

Um? No one said that they were, and that's not the point in any form. We're talking about formation of (related) words. IDK if this conversation is worthwhile, to be honest. You seem to be actively evading the point.
Real estate is not guaranteed to always rise, as I've lost a lot of money doing that. Also, most people don't seem to figure in the cost of owning property when they calculate their gains, for example, omitting the 6% commission when you sell.

"a retailer is selling masks or respirators that aren't compliant"

You misunderstand - the medical staff must be supplied with proper equipment. The general public just has to wear a mask, there is no requirements that it performs to any particular standard, and the retailers are not claiming they do. The masks worn by the the public contain no meltblown, they are just random cloth fabric and they perform nothing like the proper respirator does.

The point I was making is that you can't point at the random masks that appeared on the shelves as evidence that supply of respirators has been fixed - there are still not enough respirators to supply every Tom, Dick and Harry.

And worked pretty well[0] for the seven or so glorious years we had it in the United States before the Bush FCC ended it.

0 - Yes, I know, it wasn't perfect or even "great" most of the time but that was largely because the incumbent carriers dragging their feet on doing literally anything and the FCC not enforcing the competition rules. And when, largely out of spite, the copper-based incumbents simply didn't do anything to upgrade their networks while the not-at-all-regulated cable companies blew past them in speed and reliability, people switched in droves which gave the incumbent phone companies even more reason to throw up their hands and say "not worth it."

It's mind boggling to hear people compare cable and satellite TV to media via the internet.

We once had to sign contracts, and have people come into your house and install things, and then pay rental for their cable boxes or whatnot and had to watch shows based on the schedule they were broadcast.

Now, we can click a few buttons and stream exactly what we want, when we want, and unless you are watching too much media, it is surely cheaper than cable/satellite in years past. And you can purchase a subscription and cancel a subscription within seconds, as opposed to calling the cable company and waiting on hold and dealing with retention departments.

I would recommend thinking like a lawyer and writing a memo like one. Legal writing and analysis follows a very common pattern known as IRAC (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion):

(1) Identify the issue; (2) Quote all relevant rules; (3) Analyze the rules in light of your specific factual circumstances; and (4) Reach a reasonable conclusion based on your analysis of the rules.

This is how your company's legal team is making recommendations to management. You have to fight fire with fire. The only advantage your legal department may have over you is access to more comprehensive legal research services like Westlaw and LexisNexis. But at the end of the day, all they're doing is researching what the law is and how the courts are interpreting the law. Search for the right terms on Google, and you can do a pretty damn good job at crafting credible arguments. We don't need the lawyers always acting like they're at the top of the food chain.

Windows 7 was definitely the peak Microsoft desktop experience. Windows 8 was a trash fire of a tablet OS (no matter what Microsoft might say otherwise, that's what it was) that I was fortunate enough never to have to experience first-hand on any of my devices, but that I did have enough experience with secondhand to see how bad it is. Windows 10 is better than 8, but that's a very low bar, and it's still worse than 7.

Windows 10 has an absolute garbage mess of different configuration windows, some that look several decades old but at least are usable and some that have clearly been redesigned recently but which you can't find anything in. USB peripherals can either mount as drivers or as something called a "Device" (even if all they're really doing is mounting as a drive), and the latter is completely unintuitive and nearly impossible to figure out how to unmount safely. File/application finding is a still a dumpster fire that never works for me. There's garbage Cortana integrated into the start menu that always seems to want to search the web via Bing (???!?!!), but can't reliably find files or locally installed applications, even by exact name match. If I wanted to search the Web I'd be searching in a Web browser! Hell, even searching files by exact name or name prefix in the Finder search window just flat out doesn't work.

I don't understand how Windows 10 managed to get such fundamentals so completely broken. I find that desktop Linux is actually more usable than Windows 10 simply because basic features like file search actually just work. Unfortunately Windows still wins on compatibility with applications (and especially games) so I'm stuck with it, but if I could run everything I wanted on my Linux computer I'd ditch my Windows computer in a heartbeat.

OK GOOD
I would say that from my experience (as a woman, who has spoken with other women as the only women on male dominated teams) we don't assume that interruptions are caused by malice. Some interruptions are what I would class "normal" where anyone could be interrupted by a situation/person and some interruptions are what I would class "not actively malicious, but really rude" where people assume that the speaker is not saying what the interrupter would want the speaker to say. Multiple interruptions in a discussion by an individual can show a lack of observance of normal conversational patterns, or a lack of care. It's a fun mix of many reasons, some of which are inadvertently malicious.
I've worried about Microsoft's commitment to F# in the past, but as of late they seem clearly committed to signal boosting the language as a way to grab mindshare from people who are averse to C# for whatever reason. I recall from their F# Jupyter notebooks demo they specifically implied they're trying to steal Python's lunch in the data science world

At this point though I believe the F# community is active and resourceful enough to carry themselves even if Microsoft directed resources away from the language. One of the things I noticed early on about the F# community is they tend to be mindful about their investments, and like to mold existing, established work into something more ergonomic for the F# community. The Giraffe, Fable, and Bolero projects are all wonderful examples of this mentality.

I wonder how long it will be before someone truly cannot be anonymous in this country (or the world). Whenever I come across a book/movie about someone traveling to the future and trying to blend in, my immediate thought is that they will instantly be flagged as suspicious by a hundred different automated systems (where is your advertising profile, credit history, location history, iris scan, microchip??)

There probably are already enough biometrics, digital records etc. today that can accomplish this given the right incentives for everyone involved.
> real clients, faked services

I'm curious what you think this looks like in practice. I've had success with these kinds of tests, but only for very simple external services. For example, writing a fake elasticsearch backend for a few known inputs and outputs might be a good fit. But what about an RDBMS? You can't realistically write a mock backend that can talk to a real client.
I think it's because of price discrimination. Same reason why there are "international" versions of text books.

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

If you have a good whose marginal costs is very small, then once it has been created, the optimal method to sell it is to sell it to each person for the maximum amount they are able and willing to pay. Obviously, people in poorer countries aren't able to pay as much as people in richer countries, so by creating different versions for them, the seller can maximize revenue, but only if the people in richer countries aren't able to obtain it at the cheaper price.

In a way, this is good for poorer countries as they can obtain the goods at a cheaper price since the alternative might be that the seller simply abandons the market.
Ah yes, of course they were only caught because the two had a falling out and then one swatted the other.
