> No, I'm claiming that a document should not be treated as signed if it has not been signed. And drawing attention to (not "claiming") the fact that attaching^Whaving some third party such as Google attach a piece of networking metadata to it, does not constitute signing.

It sounds like you think that a "signed document" carries some sort of significance that an "unsigned document" does not carry, other than the value of the signature as evidence of a contract. I'm not aware of any such significance, at least not in the context of Finnish legislation. Perhaps if we are emailing a draft of a contract back and forth, the signature on a document can be used to specify which version is the agreed-upon contract as opposed to draft. But a similar proof could be attained without a signature, for example by recording audio of a verbal agreement which specifies the agreed-upon version of the contract. The signature does not carry any special significance.

In any case, no, I do not think that a DKIM signature is comparable to a handwritten signature. I would rather compare DKIM signature to fingerprints on a physical document. You might say "I've never seen this piece of paper in my life!" to dispute the validity of a paper contract, but your fingerprints on that paper would constitute significant evidence against your statement. DKIM signature of an email could be used in the same fashion.

No matter what the purchase, I always force myself to stop comparing for a bit of time after the purchase. By the time I pull the trigger, I have shopped and compared as best I can. Inevitably, as soon as I complete the sale, one of the places I was looking will have lowered the price or release the next-gen.
Let L be the set of all software for Linux and W be the set of all software for Windows.

If there is a subset of L that is larger than W, then L itself is also larger than W.

I was proposing that if you count every image, or every repo, then dockerhub-only or the GitHub-only subsets of L might be larger than W because the effort of creating an additional windows project is much greater than the effort of creating an additional Linux project.
OP probably meant UCS-2.
It's important information for the people planning epidemic responses, especially on behalf of governments (assuming you have a government that cares about responding to the epidemic).

Getting you R down as fast as possible is the thing that's going to really stop the epidemic in the large (rather than just in your body) and that's what this sort of information is useful for
> Maybe make police carry malpractice insurance and that way bad behavior has a cost, and those harmed are compensated. - Strongly agree with this one.

one of the striking details from the article is how records of police misconduct are protected to the point where even the chief of police can't necessarily look at them! the insurance idea is an interesting one, but it only has a chance of achieving its goal if the insurance company is able to look at these records and set premiums accordingly. if a flat premium is charged, I fear the municipality would just increase salaries to offset the premiums (or even pay them directly).
"basically acceptable" is such a low bar.
Note that robots.txt is a hint to well-behaved crawlers, not blocking them in any regard.

You can block crawlers if you can identify them, but reliably identifying them is hard.
I actually like visiting SF--but then I'm mostly on an expense account. Rarely have a car when I'm there unless it's to pick one up to go out of town somewhere.

I had a couple opportunities to move to the Bay Area in the mid-90s. Even then it felt like a quality of life downgrade because of CoL. And I didn't even live in an especially cheap area--west of Boston.
Each to their own. I use it in situations where i want to know what other people are basing their branch from. Which, for projects I've worked on, can have real consequences. For instance, it may prompt me to rebase upon their work sooner, or even give them a heads up that theirs some useful change I'm submitting to the trunk.
This probably somewhat explains why people in rural and suburban areas are quick to dismiss it as a hoax. None of what you seen is present outside of coastal American cities.

I vacationed in rural Wisconsin this summer. Felt like every other summer I spent there.

I think it was a mistake to lockdown many states in March that didn't really have a large number of infections. They spent 2-3 months lockdown for a virus that didn't really exist in their world yet. They formed their opinion that it was FRAUDVIRUS at that time. And aren't reevaluating now that they are finally getting their huge wave.
There’s not a shred of evidence RISC-V can approach the levels of performance discussed in this thread. There’s a lot of “big implementations can potentially do X” hand waving in RISC-V land, and not much real silicon to show for it.
I don't think it's that simple. What does your aluminum smelting plant do when the power isn't free, sit there unproductively? Or purchase electricity when it's expensive? Either will cost you money. Maybe you can still come out ahead in either of these cases, but that depends on quite a few factors.

Most of your comment makes me think I should write more like I speak.
You can never rely on the timers firing exactly as you request, so you always have to take the delta since the last timer and use that in your calculations.

This is a very basic issues with doing stuff on a timer, and not that hard to do properly. It shouldn't make a difference if your timer is called once per second, once per minute or once in 10 hours in the background, you always calculate based on the delta to the last time your timer fired.
Case in point. Maryland SWAT did that to the mayor of Berwyn Heights, shooting his dogs in the process:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwyn_Heights,_Maryland_mayor...

So he spearheaded an accountability bill that mandated the state police to publish a yearly report on how often SWAT is deployed, for what reasons, how often lethal force ends up being used etc (it should be noted that police unions fought this tooth and nail, even though it didn't actually hold them accountable for any of it - only exposed how SWAT is actually used most of the time).

But there's a catch. You might notice from the link above that the reports end in 2014. That's because the law had a 5-year sunset clause, and nobody bothered to renew it.

So, even when a fairly influential politician from a privileged background gets involved for personal reasons, that's not still enough long-term.
The memory bus is now the same width as every other laptop.
This is a super bad benchmark for many reasons, target architecture is different, underlying cache, storage device, bus width and possible optimizations are all different. Compile time in such a situation means next to nothing without isolating all these factors and what's left is then attributable to the M1 vs Intel difference. That would be a lot of work though and would not make for such a catchy and clickable title.
Your three sources in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25119518 do not seem to mention compliance at all. They are all arguing that the restrictions requested by the Swedish government were too weak, which I absolutely agree with.

Can you quote sources saying compliance with the government's requests was low? Because I see, for example, https://www.politico.eu/article/sweden-coronavirus-lessons/:

> 93 percent of the population say they are following social-distancing recommendations.

https://www.government.se/articles/2020/06/social-distancing...:

> Swedes are largely following the advice and recommendations issued by the Public Health Agency of Sweden.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53498133:

> a survey released this week by Sweden's Civil Contingencies Agency suggests 87% of the population are continuing to follow social distancing recommendations to the same extent as they were one or two weeks earlier, up from 82% a month ago.

[It does also say "there have been reports of large gatherings and mingling in some tourist hotspots since domestic travel restrictions were relaxed last month" but that is anecdotal.]

Reports like these formed my view that compliance with the (inadequate!!!) Swedish government restrictions has been high (though I have also read reports of decreasing compliance lately, consistent with trends in other countries). Perhaps these reports were never accurate but I'd want to see sources saying so.
One of the reasons Rosetta 2 works so well is Apple silicon sticks to the more restricted x86 memory model.

This post looks horrible on the bottom left for mobile fyi
One area I still see it pop up frequently is audio related code on mobile.
But they're ugly and impossible to use, for some of us. Just awful and horrible UI and flow... I simply do not get the love for IntelliJ anything.
Two bits:

- your terms of service says that it's the user's responsibility to maintain a backup. Do you actually offer a data download service, or is this just legal fluff that you copied?

- when someone uses one or two seed items to look for outfits, and you don't know that they have other items in their closet already, you could (and probably should) offer to link them to a site that sells that stuff. Don't offer to sell them a seed item or something that you know that they already own.
The reviews I saw said that using Chrome gets good better life, but if you want great battery life you need to use something like Safari.

I switched to Safari a few years ago, and I couldn't be happier. Chrome's performance and battery life are atrocious. I only use Chrome when I need something specific from it.
Threat to democracy and monopoly have been so bastardized by propaganda that they essentially colloquially mean "I don't like their speech/influence and want them to be illegal." and "They are big and I don't like them and think they shouldn't be allowed to exist!" respectively. They are soft eliminationism essentially.
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with that being one organisation; the UK is pretty similar:

- local police forces (backed by national groups for serious organised crime, terror, financial, etc.);

- that have within them CID (Criminal Investigation Department, plain-clothes detectives) [0] with a shared (as in uniform and non-uniform branches from a common point, AIUI) org chart, which is about the closest we have to the FBI in the US;

- and the PM's visible security comes from the 'Protection Command' (also royals, diplomats, other ministers) [1] which is just a part of the Met, London's 'local police force'.

I don't think that means there's some automatic abuse of power, or whatever it is (?) that you're concerned about, just from it all being 'the police'.

I think people use passive voice unintentionally or thoughtlessly. Not sure if you'd call that "by accident."

I see it quite often in business writing, I think people fall into it because it's a way to avoid taking responsibility. "It has been decided" vs. "I have decided." I would not say that it's always intentional.
I think it's primarily a question of focus: I want to pull or to switch a branch. The fact that I have to do something like committing or stashing is already an annoyance - having to come up with a commit message is even worse.

Perhaps I will give this commit/reset workflow a try as well, to see how it feels. It may also be that committing still feels to much like "an event" for me, from my P4 days.
Sure. But there is an enormous gap between "an area that gets sketchy late at night" and "a lawless place that is dangerous to enter".
I wasn't sure what the point is here.. the classic race seems to be:

1. easy mode first-to-market => lock in monoply (network effects, ...) + use warchest + continued high margins to stay ahead of competitors (e.g., FB can buy upstarts)

2. invest in hard stuff others can't/won't do => benefit as in #1. Either start on this part (sweat equity, VC), or after war chest from 1 (ex: Google -> Waymo)
> I'm yet to figure out (haven't searched enough yet) how to export the files out of the device (i.e. convert from their format to PDF/SVG) without using the USB web interface though; when I do, my workflow will be complete.

My software does that: reMarkable Connection Utility (RCU). Paid, but GPLv3+, and works over USB or WiFi. It has a custom renderer that exports bitmap PDFs very close to what the screen shows--reMarkable's PDF export looks like a photocopy because they rotoscope a bitmap (why? dunno).

It's been mixed. One of my friends had a landlord that wouldn't budge, so he and his wife moved to a new place (larger but with the same monthly rent, and with the first few months free). But I've heard from a couple others who asked for and got rent decreases. Unclear if their landlords were thinking about that more as a COVID hardship decrease, or a decrease reflecting the new, lower market rates.
Does anyone know the real reason? Languages upgraded string to default to utf8? Browsers changed their defaults?
This was pretty sparse on details. Can anyone verify they were compiling for the same target? (IE at least one of them was cross-compiling).
Yes, we can do better than DDG. But if you are expecting to fund a real search engine with a few hundred thousand dollars you are insane. It will take a ton of development and a ton of hardware to create an index that isn't a pile of garbage. This isn't 2000 anymore. You need to index >100 billion pages and you need it updated and you need great crawling and parsing and you need great algorithms and probably an entirely proprietary engine and you need to CONSTANTLY refine all the above until it isn't garbage. Maybe you could muster something passable for $1B over 5 years with a strong core team that attracts great talent. If Apple actually does this, as they are rumored to, I bet they dump $10b into it just for the initial version.
Yes, the government has a stronger negotiating position than me, for obvious reasons.

The concept of "markets" is not useful in a discussion about healthcare, because unlike other markets, a participant will often die unless they immediately purchase a good from the seller physically closest to them, regardless of price.
macOS deprecates support for Macs that are 5-7 years old with every release. I put Linux on them when new macOS releases no longer support them, and they're perfectly good machines afterwards.

When macOS deprecates support for these ARM Macs in 5-7 years, Linux isn't an option for them unless Apple puts in a lot of work to support a mainline Linux kernel on their hardware. Apple has said they won't support running other operating systems on these ARM Macs unless they're virtualized.
I can say git is dragging our feet all along. I don't remember subversion being acting this unintuitively.

I always hear problems that someone couldn't clone a repo as the repo got big and it's only 2GB in size and random blogs tell you to run git config command to fix which isn't even available on Windows if the user is only using a GUI tool and the other solution is to edit a .gitconfig file which Windows have problem handing files with dot at the beginning, commits creates a conflicting branch because I pushed before I pulled files I didn't even touch, and push randomly fails on people but it works on a retry etc etc.

People just figured Linus' work is a magic bullet to everyone's problem but I guess people jumped on it with no evaluation and we're all bleeding from this.

We need a better tool than git.

I miss tools like bazaar when they mention their goal was being user friendly which is important.
Is there any concern for how much power LetsEncrypt holds over large swaths of the internet in a world where browsers refuse to connect using HTTP?

My thoughts exactly.

Recently I give it 2nd try thinking that perhaps I'm being too perfectionist and close-minded. In about 1h I realized that no, it's not me. Ansible is really just a huge masturbation. You'd think that a tool that purportedly helps with managing servers would at least give you meaningful error messages but it still spews JSONs, that don't even start and end on its own lines, where actual error message is single line with \n for line breaks.

I have also tried cdist[1]. Compared to glorified shell command generator like Ansible, cdist is actually closer to Puppet in that you actually declare resources and dependencies, where by "declare" I don't mean that there's a guard in imperative steps like in Ansible.

It can be an issue if the game can do complex actions at any time: if you then need to do all of it in one gigantic update after e.g. 24 hours of being in the background, it may take too long to compute that one long tick. Depending on what type of game it is. If it just has to compute "so many resources per second produced" it's easy of course and you can use the delta between last tick (if Date.now() works correctly), but if the game can auto-build various things with complex interactions, it can become computationally complex if it has to do all at once.
Question: suppose you're a user who does not use something like Lulu to monitor traffic, and does not use firewall settings that close the ports Apple uses.

Then, does this Big Sur issue make any difference to you?

Wouldn't malicious software be able to exploit the same Apple processes that malicious outside server? My understanding is that in Catalina, you could block the relevant ports, but you would also break services in a way that the average user wouldn't do.
I wouldn't be surprised if the local officials are genuinely afraid of the officers they "oversee". the article noted that officers ticketed the vehicles of local officials as a persuasion technique. a somewhat petty abuse of power, but possibly just the tip of the iceberg...
Yeah. Aren't Rust compiles IO heavy? Like really IO heavy?

Prior to IDFA, advertisers used other unique on-device information (I believe they had access to the IMEA which was not changeable). With IDFA, users have the option of opting out or at one point resetting the IDFA on the device.

IDFA was fundamentally put in to give uses more control. It wasn't really enough, but it was an improvement over what was before it. Now Apple is improving it again by making it opt-in instead of opt-out.

Next gen consoles and Nvidia rtx io is kind of doing that with graphics textures. Textures are memory mapped but stored in nvme storage. When GPU reads a texture, it first looks in the ram, if not found in the ram, the controller talks to nvme controllers to load from storage.

If you think about it, gen4 pce nvme can reach 5GB/s doing 16k ramdom reads. The bandwidth is getting close to ddr2/3 territory.
And new storage tech like 3dxpoint will have ram like access latency to improve small io perf.

You will always still need ram, but you can be more efficient at how to use the ram.
This idea is getting a lot more visibility than it warrants. The positive social benefits from WFH suggest you should be giving tax breaks for WFH, not assessing tax penalties.

It is almost as if those pushing this idea have an incentive to prod people back into the most densely populated city in the US, expensive, dirty, inconvenient to the point of abuse...oh wait, it’s Bloomberg.

Rant: Why Bluetooth Sucks [video]
Googles filtering is so weird. I have a bad habit of buying old hardware without checking if the documentation had been made available on the web.

Recently I found myself desperate for any information on a price of hardware i had gotten. I was swapping out all sorts of queries woth different keywords hoping to find a manual. I was able to find some marketing material which was helpful, albeit barely. Eventually I had exhausted the search results for most pf my queries, gave up and assumed that it was simply lost to time and I was out of luck.

Eventually I went back to the sales paper I found. Going to the site it was hosted on, a Lithuanian reseller. I translated the page, eventually finding a direct link to a user manual on the exact same page as the sales paper I had found. The document was in English, contained important words from my queries (such as the product name, company, "user manual" etc. The document was at the same path as the sales paper too. I hace no idea why Google found the sales paper but not the manual.

Unfortunately the manual still wasn't what I was looking for exactly but it was a hell of a lot better than what I could get from Google's results.

Yeah one can argue semantics all one wants but you still get 3 to 4 times more low grade heat per kwh from a heat pump than a resistive heater. And that's what you actually care about.
It’s kind of a weird ret-conning of “of the masculine ideal.” When NASA picked astronauts to be the public face of the technological race against communism, they picked men with families: https://nasa.fandom.com/wiki/Mercury_Seven

> From the 18, the first seven NASA astronauts were chosen,[8] each a "superb physical specimen" with an IQ above 130, and the ability to function well both as part of a team and solo.[6] Grissom, Cooper, and Slayton were Air Force pilots; Shepard, Carpenter, and Schirra were Navy pilots, and Glenn was a Marine Corps pilot.

> Because they wore civilian clothes, the audience did not see them as military test pilots but "mature, middle-class Americans, average in height and visage, family men all," ready for single combat versus worldwide Communism. To the astronauts' surprise, the reporters asked about their personal lives instead of war records or flight experience, or about the details of Mercury. After Glenn responded by speaking eloquently "on God, country, and family" the others followed his example, and the reporters "lustily applauded them."
