We do live in a dangerous world. Pretty much everybody loses their life somehow. It's amazing to me that so many of my peers survived childhood.

It is pretty stupid to try to jump a car on your bicycle without a landing ramp. Or play catch with lit M80s. And those weren't our dumbest ideas.

When I was a kid every 8-year-old pushed a lawn mower around once a week. And rode in the back of a pickup truck. Today I don't let my kids ride in the back of pickup trucks, and I'm nervous about the lawn mower. Or rather, I'm nervous about trusting my kid not to be careless with the mower.

But when I see the metal detector at the door of my kid's school I wince. Some dangers and some fears need to be met head on. For some people, those include riding in the back of pickup trucks. For some it is the school's metal detector. If only we could make those choices for ourselves and our children without forcing our fears onto our neighbors.

Edit: clarity
The vast bulk of the fear mongering I see is coming from the mass media, in an attempt to drive clicks and sell newspapers, and get their preferred candidate elected.

For example, in the weeks leading up to the election, CNN ran a sidebar on the screen to continuously show current statistics on covid deaths, all day. The sidebar vanished on election day, and has not returned, even though covid death rates are worse than ever.
I remember I called Apple support a few years back to fix a 2FA problem and ended up chatting with the guy about Linux distros for about 10 minutes.
I understand what you're saying because I feel the same way. I think what other commentators are pointing out that many/most people feel differently.

I have a 15 year old car. It runs great. I don't care that paint is peeling or the windshield is cracked.

Personally, I've been taught from a young age to value personal/emotional/spiritual growth over the accumulation of material goods, so I'm certain that upbringing has affected my outlook on this topic.
Ford Mustang does this too, except it's not amplification of the engine, it's actually pre-recordings of engine noise pumped into the sound system when you step on the gas.

Voicemail notification from any service provider also cannot be turned off on Android, why would Google Fi be different? And yes, you have to pay a fee to listen to the voicemail. If you want temporary relief (i.e. control of your screen space) you can kill the 'Phone' process, but that's it.
This is really 3 problems for the EU or whatever government wants to bring this in.

The way I see it is the government/EU, whatever, needs to first force this encryption backdoor into use, then force everyone to only use chat apps with the backdoor, and finally force everybody not to go looking for this backdoor.

They are listed in order of difficulty. And they are totalitarian in their level of force.
There are tremendous hurdles on those devices as well.

A Pico-8 story: How the fantasy console unlocked Frédéric Souchu’s dreams
I wonder how many others easily get motion sickness in a car or other vehicle with a lot of noise dampening and otherwise "isolation" from the outside. I've been in some of these newer cars and rolling down a window, thus increasing the sense of noise, was one way to avoid it. On the other hand, I didn't experience the same in cars far noisier and with less dampening.
Whether you are advanced or not to do that doesn't matter.

I am advanced enough to sideload applications via XCode. I have done so. I stopped doing it, because reinstalling every 7 days is an annoyance that no app was worth. I switched to Android instead.

As another comment notes, this also does not cover people who have an iOS device but no Mac. Which is definitely an overwhelming majority of iOS owners in general (just looking at iOS vs Mac hardware sales), though I don't know about power users. I could see people who consider themselves iOS power users to also likely have a Mac, but at the same time I could also see them as wanting to use the Mac as little as possible.
This article reminded me of the exact same thing!
> Can we have something as beautiful and pure as B2B SaaS but for individuals as well as businesses, and for desktop, mobile, and other native apps? [...] And indeed there does seem to be movement toward subscription-priced prosumer products in the $5 – $15/month range.

I wouldn't call subscription based software as anything close to "beautiful and pure".

> As a ~user~ customer, I like the idea of finding a few great tools that empower my work and paying for them directly. That gives me confidence the product will serve my needs long-term, because I’m the customer.

As an actual user/customer that has paid for software, i absolutely do not like the idea of subscriptions because it ends up placing too much control at the hands of the developer instead of my own hands. I'd rather pay for software once and then have control over it (this implies at least an offline native version of course and i mainly refer to desktop applications here).

> And this doesn’t mean a bigger budget for my tech product purchases overall: I can subtract these subscriptions from the money I previously spent on a new phone and laptop every two years, then buy new hardware a little less often.

So in other words, the only reason it doesn't mean a bigger budget isn't because this isn't an additional expense but because you cut some other expense from your existing budget.

But if you do not cut from any other expense (either because you do not want to or because you already do not buy a new shiny phone and laptop every two years, like for example i am - my laptop is from 2012 and works mostly fine and my phone is from around 2014 or so and while it is a bit sluggish nowadays, it does the main tasks i want from it to do, like receive phone calls, read ebooks and read some article now and then) then it absolutely does mean a bigger budget.

Anyway, these are the usual daydreams many developers have but aren't met with actual consumer behavior because, guess what, when you have literal decades of every big software company on earth commoditize and give away for free everything expensive to make so they can mine data for advertisement purposes on one hand and open source developers on the other hand making a ton of free utilities for all sort of mainstream and niche users, you essentially teach every single end user that software has no monetary value and as such they expect to get everything for free (and ads are already everywhere anyway, so they might as well be part of the environment).
That's the usual position for them prior to the 102 key keyboard introduction. Really wrecked the Ctrl sequences of wordstar and the movement diamond.

So would that mean no more HTTPS ? I'm perplexed.

Around 12 years ago, I bought a used Model M. It uses a slightly different technique for registering keypresses but looks about the same on the inside as the Model F. It worked great. After 3 days, I decided to clean it up and open it. I then quickly destroyed it by using a bit too much water during the cleaning. It got into the plastic tubes with the springs [0] and that was the end of most of the keys. I tried drying it with a hairdryer, but without success. The black plastic visible on the image is attached to the board by melted plastic joints, so removing it without destroying it is not possible. Congratulations to the author for not making the same stupid mistake as me.

Of course, you can still experience the clickiness of the Model M without owning one with the great emulator [1]. It's available on Debian and Ubuntu dev-releases:

sudo apt-get install bucklespring

It would be good if Rust doesn't die. In order not to die, it would need to get its adoption rate up by two or more orders of magnitude. That would require some big changes in how Rust conducts business, that I don't see any indications of beginning.

Most important would be to cut the number who try it, and give up before they have got their legs under them.

Changes in how borrow checker enforcement is applied could go a long way. But, even mentioning the topic, people come out of the woodwork shrieking that you want to turn off the borrow checker. It is a real embarrassment to the Rust community to have these people.

Another critical problem is the extremely slow compiler. It really should be two orders of magnitude faster. There has been extremely heavy lifting to get it just percentages faster, that will not be enough.

There is really no objective reason for a Rust compiler to be slow. C++ has unfortunate historical baggage that slows it down, but Rust doesn't have any of that. I don't see how to get a good compiler for Rust short of writing a new one. If an undergraduate class can all write a Java compiler in a semester, why is there still only one, slow, Rust compiler?

Go might survive if it can break out of its cloud niche. Cloud is trendy now, but trends change. Other languages have had much wider usage than Go has, and faded. Nothing about Go makes it uniquely suited for coding cloud operations. As it gets more complex, its ease of adoption and fast compilation will both become less pronounced.

> Either way, your comment tears down the initial commentators memorable and positive experience, for a non-sourced based claim. To me it came off as more insensitive than insightful. Especially given the subject matter of this thread.

Sure so it's ok in your mind for you to make a negative comment about my comment and somehow that is not insensitive? And as far as 'given the subject matter' what is this a day of mourning? Trebek was a game show host and please don't assume that everyone needs to care about him in the same way.

I noticed the gradual reduction of message length too when Yo came out (email -> tweet -> yo), and wondered what it would mean to transmit less than a single bit of information.

I came to the conclusion that it would be a messaging system, somewhat like yo where sometimes it would send a notification even when I hadn't told it to. If you configured it so it sent an extra notification randomly for every notification you sent, then you're conveying approximately half a bit of information.

Strangely enough, I think this could be quite useful, as a way of initiating conversations with people you would otherwise lose contact with.

Personally, I love the creativity here. Two things that strike me are that someone can build an "iPhone X replica" out of a bunch of commodity parts. I have a couple of older computer re-creations, a PDP-8, a PDP-11, and an IMSAI 8080, that were built as replicas using mostly off the shelf parts. So when someone 40 years from now is building an iPhone X replica for nostalgic people like me, it will be something like this perhaps.

That said, as a nerd I am pretty dense when it comes to fashion and have never understood the "signalling" that goes on. Even when kids at school wore counterfeit iZod polo shirts to signal elite status? I could never figure that out. But I recognized that it was really important to some people that they be perceived as fashionable, and without the means to pay the prices resorted to fakes.
I am an engineering manager in a large ecommerce company, overseeing machine learning and our in-house A/B testing framework.

One of our big tenets in my organization is that null-hypothesis significance testing and any associated methodologies (random effects, frequentist experiment design, and various enhancements to fgls regression) are simply not applicable and not useful to answering questions of policy (any kind of policy, which subsumes pretty much all use cases of running tests).

We take a Bayesian approach from the ground up, put lots of research into weakly informative priors for all tests, develop meaningful posterior predictive checks and we state policy inference goals up front to understand what we are looking for (predictive accuracy? measurement of causal effect sizes? understanding risk in choosing between different options that have differently shaped posteriors?).

One solid paper is this:

http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/published/retr...

which discusses “type m” (magnitude) and “type s” (sign) error probabilities in Bayesian analyses, and how that can provide some benefits and flexibility that NHST methods a cookie cutter power designs cannot.

Your mileage may vary, but my org has found this to be night and day better than frequentist approaches and we have no interest in going back to frequentist testing really for any use case.

It's really ridiculous. Law enforcement and intelligence constantly fail to pay attention to forewarnings or invest in investigations, but right-wing populists still continue to nab on citizens' and human rights.

There's no extra hop? Do you carry the pihole around with you?

Do you have a firewall running on your phone to block or redirect DNS requests? Since hardcoding and bypassing the one in network settings is extremely easy and done by default by even some Google apps. DNS leaking VPN is trivial.

What logs are you talking about? Blokada can use the same upstream DNS as your pihole so the logs are exactly the same if any exists.

Without a firewall and a VPN (both on the phone) you are not secure. With a VPN and a custom DNS service with blocklists you have an identical setup as one who uses Blokada, but without an external service.
I agree. Your expanded definition is better. Now let's flesh it out into a full-fledged proposal, put it up on a website and disseminate it among the people. Let's get it into the parliaments as something that the parliament members have to discuss and finally either accept or reject.

It already is. People are:

B) Getting Flu vaccine much more popular. It has sold out in the country.

In that case you have 1 bit per nanosecond of information, or however frequently you want to model sampling the message, not 1 bit of information.

I mean ultimately you need to somehow map the sequence of Yo messages into "information" in a fairly precise manner. Receiving the message takes you from one probability distribution about the world -- or some particular question about the world -- to a smaller probability distribution. I'd describe the information the message carries based on that. It's contingent on what the question is.

Not necessarily. Some groups are simply outnumbered. Rural areas are outnumbered by urban areas. There are already a number of laws that rural people think are stupid. We see this especially in states like NY, CA, and OR. CA and OR have movements in rural areas to break away from the rest of the state. These are also states that often have referendums.
I keep coming back to the idea that you should let the user decide. And optimizing on UB by default is always the wrong thing. Because for 99% of code performance is secondary to correctness. The compiler should only do that when requested.

A point: Benchmarks produce metrics measured in seconds. Bugs don't produce metrics you can measure but the costs are unbounded.
Keeping things simple can be a good judgement decision? (This time in a weird context)

The first time my mom flew out of LEX, she saw the "big ass fan" in the airport terminal and was so thrilled with the name and how she felt the fan working she bought one for her patio.

I've heard that they're a really good company to work for in LEX (between them and RJ Corman; some of the best non-technology places to work in central KY).
People asked the same thing over a year ago, and altstore still works fine.
Even a closed-source app is never really closed. In the end it's all machine code which is basically source code as well. There's many tools to analyse binaries, like IDA Pro. It's just difficult and often steps are taken to obfuscate what it's doing.

Having the higher-level source code just makes it a lot easier.

But if WhatsApp did this, it would probably be noticed pretty quickly by experts. But like I said above, Whatsapp's achilles heel isn't really the E2E encryption. It's the cloud backups.
It's an exhaust fan with temporary tubing made of thin plastic.
Yeah, I agree. There are really only 2 approaches that seem to make any sense whatsoever: staggered lockdowns; or one, big, mother of all lockdowns that eliminates the virus entirely, followed by strict border controls. We've seen already that the latter strategy is not practical in the US, if only because people simply won't adhere to lockdown restrictions. Staggered lockdowns allow us to keep something of the economy going, while still not overwhelming the healthcare system, and this probably represents the best outcome we can hope for now.
If you want to run them in an environment which reduces payload size (i.e. AWS Lambda) you really do, I'm afraid. This is possibly great news for Go users on AWS :)

If you didn't have any luck with the House of Commons, you perhaps should have tried voting for a different member of the House of Lords, or different judges, or a different monarch.

Hm, I possibly misused the term "amateurish" when I meant "simple". My apologies for the confusion.

How do VC salaries compare to salaries in PE? AFAIK VC is a much more 'hot' field with more people seemingly clamoring to get in, but I wonder if they make as much or more in private equity
