I don't think in the future it will matter if the TV is "smart" or not. Amazon is definitely going to sell access to this network to device manufacturers as an IoT platform so you you'll never even know if your TV is on their network.

Put the whole thing on a platform with casters and bolt the case and a UPS to the thing. With a solid metal base, you could put on a shelf for mouse and keyboard and a stand for a monitor.

This seems like a pretty achievable project if you have access to a workshop.

Yeah since working from home I've seen a LOT of chatter blocked by my pihole when the VPN is off. Also browser.pipe.aria.microsoft.com, telemetry.microsoft.com, trafficmanager.net, hockeyapp.net, self.events.data.microsoft.com . And this is with uBlock origin also adding up blocked stuff constantly (so that's not even reaching pihole).

Some of them (like trafficmanager.net) do seem needed for proper operation but most aren't.

Even when I'm just working locally on a document... I really don't like this either. Nor do I like those 'helpful' O365 reports about my habits and how to spend my time.
What's interesting to me is what's missing in this post is ethnicity.

When I first started online dating, I noticed something curious, as an Asian male I got zero responses from non-Asian women from my parents country of origin. For me at least, I don't care about the ethnicity of the woman I'm dating especially given that I'm not the majority ethnicity in the country/city so I've always kept an open mind as to who I'd want to date.

Many of my Asian female friends had no trouble finding matches with white/black men. For background, I live in the West in a region which is 50% white and 50% mixture of Black/Asian/Latino, I write/speak fluent English, I have progressive and liberal values, and I have a very stable life.

I decided to record my interactions with the dating app for a multi-year period manually by putting in details in an excel spreadsheet. I receive 10-20 profiles per day, and if any of them like me back, chat unlocks. I put their details ethnicity, age, how attracted I was to them based on photos, and the outcome.

Well after 5 years of using it I can say that I have had zero White/Black/Latino women ever chat with me. Zero from thousands of matches over a period of years. We're not talking about first dates, relationships, we're talking about literally someone on the other end hitting the 'like' button to unlock chat. And I'm not someone who just likes super attractive women I was open to literally anyone ranging from less conventionally attractive profiles. At

To be honest, it completely changed my perspective of women altogether.

> You're making a lot of assertions about FAANGs without having been there.

It's true! I'm mostly going off of what I've read online.

> One might equally say that the best place to learn to run a successful business (including a startup) is to work at a place with many successful large business divisions, each with their own P&L.

I don't think that's true. But even if it were, the point this piece is making is not that FAANGs are not the best place to learn how to run a business.

The point the chapter is making is that FAANGs are less likely to allow remote work / other freedoms, so if that means a lot to you, you should not work at a FAANG. A quick check at levels.io can confirm this fact -- the vast majority of employees are on-site in a tech hub.

> While the skill of FAANG engineers varies, being at a FAANG provides an opportunity to learn from and network with top-tier engineers as well as the processes necessary to deliver quality software on a cadence at scale.

Whether or not this is an important skill depends on what you are optimizing for. I don't need to be able to deliver software at FAANG scale if I don't ever want to work at a FAANG.

While it's true that knowledge does scale down and can make you a better software developer in other areas, I also make the point in the article it's possible to learn about many of these things without sacrificing the freedom that you have to sacrifice to work at a FAANG.
Apple didn't start LLVM. Apple started Clang (and possibly LLDB?), Apple hired Chris Lattner because of LLVM.
In the US, iPhone has a 50% market share [1].

Apple taught people that apps should only cost $1 and have free updates for life, meanwhile they reaped profits off developers. That isn't healthy, but Apple doesn't care.

I get that you like your Apple device, but this company is destroying our freedoms, making it harder to run a profitable business, and taking advantage of their market position and customer base.

There isn't a lot of room for competition to grow. Their draconian behavior is staunchly anti-ownership. They have a ball and chain around our ankle.

If iPhone had 5-15% market share, you might have a point. But it doesn't. We're running out of freedoms and breathing room. The giants are taking everything away.

Stop worshiping a dumbass phone and the company "protecting you" by taking away everyone's freedoms. It's a stupid little computer - worth far less than our liberty to write code, distribute it, and reuse/upgrade the things we own as we see fit.

Apple has the advantage in that their particular computer is wildly popular and widely used. All it takes is for the DOJ to come and tell them to lighten up - and that's exactly what we need.

If ethereum was going to be replaced, that would have happened in 2018 with eos.
Network effects proved unbeatable even then, and they are much stronger now.
Prices can go in many directions, but ethereum has the highest adoption of all crypto right now and the lead is only growing. In 2020 it flipped bitcoin in total value transferred and total fees.

Haha I didn't know who he was. But the fact Alex Debrie follows him is certification enough for me. And I was wrong. Looking at his Twitter, it looks like he knows 2000x more than me about servers.
I think the more interesting cost benefit isn't moving from C++ to rust. Rather it is moving from Java or Python or Ruby or Perl to Rust.

You'd pretty much never make the move from Java -> C++ because of the lack of safety. But you may want to do it because of the other non-safety features.

That is where Rust is interesting and competitive. It's the performance and memory footprint of C++ with the memory safety of Java.
If I understand you, you are saying that Ethereum is not important because people are not valuing as highly as BTC, so the transaction throughput is irrelevant and L2 is not going to be needed.

This is akin to saying that it doesn't matter that e.g Brazil has a more advanced banking retail industry compared to the arcane networks from the US because the Brazilian economy is not as big as the US.

This is silly, because not only the two economies can co-exist, there is no technical aspects that stops other chains to adopt PoS as well it also ignores that the value can be migrated from one chain to another.

Increasing throughput in Ethereum would make everything more valuable. Just as an example, people can get their BTC and transform wrap them to use in the ethereum chain. With ETH2, it will be cheaper to wrap BTC and cheaper to use it in transactions.Its utility will be increased.
Well, they aren't horrible for two groups.

We use rust for everything at MobileCoin. I like to think of the compiler as fussy, but when you make the compiler happy your code just works. No buffer overflows as long as you don’t use unsafe code, multi-threading by default. The audits on our code have basically only turned up logic errors and out of date crates (yes it’s always possible stuff was missed, but it feels a lot different than the C/++ and functional audits I’ve been involved with in the past).

We love it and wouldn’t trade it for a different language at this point.

It really isn't the same, and oddly enough you unknowingly show that off, by mentioning that convolution is the function that maps input functions to the output function, but the dot product is at best a single point evaluated with the output function.
Firecracker and Bottlerocket are fine pieces of engineering. If Rust wants to get a share of the pie when it comes to data engineering, then it needs to have at least a killer app with an ecosystem around it. We can talk all day and all night for why some languages are more successful than others but it seems like ecosystems are giving them a boost. Hopefully, Rust will be the language for microVMs and kernel-level modules. I was strictly referring to people that think Rust would displace Java as idealists.
Honestly, I'm pretty over the reddit contribution rules. The rules are oriented at people who post links all day, and incredibly unfriendly to casual users, or people who generate OC.

Ex, many of them ask for a 90/10 other/self-promotion ratio. Well, I don't surf reddit and submit links all day, so I violated this in /programming by posting two self-posts (in a year) about OSS side projects I've worked on, and got shadowbanned. They weren't monetized at all, they were describing completely OSS personal projects (exploring d3.js and other graphics libraries).

If that's not what reddit wants... then I don't care what reddit wants. I'll use burner accounts and post like a normal human being, and if they get banned... I'll make new ones.
Hashing lets you know whether it's the same type or two different types, but you still need to look at the members to find out whether one is a subtype of the other.
I’m sorry but how is this surprising or upsetting to anyone. Slack and others have similar metrics. But that’s not the point.

Moreover even if some PM in Microsoft didn’t build this dashboard, the data would most likely be available via API. Look at some of the cloud security products Palo Alto ships. As others have commented, this was most likely built with the intent of showing organizations how effective they are using O365, not perfmon of their employees.

At the end of the day, it’s the onus of the HR teams and leadership of corporations to have reasonable metrics to track performance against, of which we can all probably agree, obscure “productivity” graphs in your Office suite isn’t one of them.

Frankly, if they don’t maintain reasonable methods of performance management, it is an incredibly effective way to limit and lose their talent pool.
I struggled with this a lot, and was never satisfied, until I spent a few weeks doing CSS & flexbox lessons from Lynda.com (free from my library).

I don’t mean to downplay that distinction, but it’s worth nothing that being a doctor or lawyer back home is worth little after you immigrate. A lot of my aunts and uncles immigrated from Bangladesh to Anglo countries, and you have doctors, judges, and engineers working retail. They were starting back at 0.

A few of the younger ones spent years getting advanced degrees and eventually professional jobs, while many didn’t. But the next generation, my cousins, are pretty uniformly college educated professionals: doctors, lawyers, accountants, bankers, and engineers. And they’re fully socially integrated. Obviously coming from an educated family has certain intangible advantages. But the economic mobility and pathway to integration is critical. And it doesn’t exist in every developed country.

From the link:

> Uses that require explicit approval

> Distributing a modified version of the Rust programming language or the Cargo package manager and calling it Rust or Cargo requires explicit, written permission from the Rust core team. We will usually allow these uses as long as the modifications are (1) relatively small and (2) very clearly communicated to end-users.

Patching for a specific architecture, distro, OS, et. all is going to result in "a modified version". You can't expect users as far down as the Debian Source DVDs to be able to submit that back to Rust for approval. Us folks using MIPS patch all the time, and redistribute binaries to help others.

Ask three thermodynamics engineers, get five answers. The generalization you're referring to is pretty accurate, but according to some interpretations it's just assumed to exist a priori and then we look for evidence of it.

But while it's unclear whether entropy is the result of some universal law or a hack we use to make the math work out, it definitely does make the math work out in closed systems of gasses.

So, if I parsed the training data correctly, one's output algorithm is completely agnostic to any actual market conditions. It's merely learned on the anonymized feature set of 130 variables.

Does that actually fix it? The linked email listing says the issue is that logging in as a non-existent user with an empty password will work, and the fix that you linked seems to just make it harder to figure out if a user doesn't exist. That doesn't seem like it fixes anything; there's no need to determine beforehand if a user doesn't exist to use this exploit, since you could just try to use the exploit with an arbitrary username, and if it works, then obviously the user doesn't exist.
