The article has noted the kernel will be fine, but if I read that correctly, glib still uses 32bit time_t. And I thought I saw somewhere ext4 was changed to be fine until sometime around 2160 due to seconds granularity. I wonder how much this is a function of "never break user space." ?

The BSDs have no problem with breaking user space, Net/OpenBSD has been using 64bit time_t for a while. And starting with 6.8 OpenBSD's default file system uses 64bit timestamps.

With that said, I think Linux's "never break user space" is one of the main reasons Linux is so dominant. And that is making the time_t work harder to complete.

Yeah, if you don’t have any resources, you do everything yourself. Paid advertising can be useful for scaling, but you don’t need it for getting the first few users, and usually you’re shooting for being good enough to get word of mouth spread.

I'm not so sure I like where the rest of this argument is going, but I do want to support the idea that there are probably a zillion ways to spy on and otherwise abuse somebody if you can get them to use an iphone that you jailbroke and installed some off-app-store software on.

Maybe it's better to come up with some lesser way to discourage people from using this kind of software on somebody else's phone without their knowledge than shutting down the whole service entirely.
Yes, especially given that things like life-altering injury and pedestrian/cyclist serious injury/death probably deserve to be counted in any measure of total automobile safety.

The people who choose Rust over C++ aren't (generally speaking, there are of course exceptions) doing because of the borrow checker. They're doing because Rust has Cargo and C++ doesn't.
6-7 years on standard repayments would require a salary of around £100k straight out of uni.

On £40k you'd end up with them cancelled and likely repay less than you borrowed (45k typical borrowing, £38k repaid over 30 years).
Systems which can't update their libc or other system software have already broken in various ways. For example, in 2007 the Energy Policy Act of 2005 changed the date when DST begins and ends. Any system unable to update its libc data files since about 13-15 years ago will display the incorrect time. I have a cheap $10 radio clock which I've had for two decades. It always displays the wrong time for a few weeks around the DST change.

Any system which needs to display the correct time needs to have a mechanism for updates.

The time_t wraparound is a bit deeper and more serious, granted.

Network filtering means blocking traffic at the network level. Trying to use DNS for this leaves you trusting the client - and there are decades of precedent for clients bypassing that for various reasons, such as this post shows.

The solution is to start doing network filtering: if you block packets to unapproved servers, you can actually stop this. You’ll need to run your own proxy, of course, but that’s always been the only way to actually accomplish that goal.

I believe the primary psychic barrier is that when people propose a solution, they perceive that they are working from a perfectly accurate, comprehensive model of reality, when what they are really working from is a perspective upon a very simplified, personal model of reality.

And what is overlooked/unrealized is not just the missing data (that which exists, but is not perceived by the individual), but also all the "forces" at play, like complex causation, individual preferences (many of which are highly illogical), behind the scenes string-pulling, randomness/chaos, and so forth and so on.

If we could somehow find a way to get even a few people to realize (and honestly acknowledge) that we all live within a complex, interconnected and interactive system, full of uncertainty and illusion, could we perhaps start to come up with some solutions that take this complexity into consideration (and therefore are more resistant to being derailed by simple rhetoric and propaganda)?
> This EDR display philosophy is so important to Apple that they are willing to spend battery life on it. When you map “white” down to gray, you have to drive the LED backlight brighter for the same perceived screen brightness, using more power. Apple has your laptop doing this all the time, on the off chance that some HDR pixels come along to occupy that headroom.

This is a bit misleading. The backlight isn’t at a higher level than necessary for sRGB content all the time, just whenever any HDR encoded videos or EDR apps are open. When you open an HDR video you can see the highlights getting brighter as the backlight gets pushed.

this made me think about my car's infotainment UI (typically have android auto running) and how annoying it is that much of it locks while the car is in motion. searching for an address in waze, accessing a text message, etc. even worse is some things work for a few seconds (scrolling down my list of songs) before it locks and says "eyes back on the road... wait a minute", and unlocks again. this is terrible when i have a passenger who could help (could you search for a gas station, or please reply to that message we will be late) which requires pulling over. whats more safe on a freeway? it sort of reminds me of red light cameras, which have been proven to cause drivers to burn through yellows at 100 miles an hour (increasing crashes on the other side) to avoid the fine for what would otherwise be a minor issue. i digress..

ree2OSS says>"Epidemiologists are the experts"<

Epidemiology of COVID-19 has been a train wreck. Indeed we must ask if epidemiology is a science at all.

Interviewing 700 epidemiologists is a fool's errand providing no useful information. One might as well simplify the selection criteria and interview 700 (or better, simply 30) people of above-average intelligence.

I agree with the first sentence but not with the second. Most medical organizations/hospitals/institutions/clinics are headed up by physicians who make policy decisions all day long.

That's the THEORY. The water level will rise and we'll all be smarter.

What actually happens is Trump, anti-vaxxers, anti-science people find each other and they actually grow in numbers. It becomes harder to distinguish reality from bullshit.

That fundamental tenet of liberalism is wrong. Seriously wrong, and needs to be reworked in light of new information.

People don't critically examine new information and become smarter as a whole. They band together, form tribes, and actively seek out information that confirms their feelings and biases while blocking out other voices, and social media has made it worse as has the rapidity of modern communications.
I've never seen these studies claiming anxious people tend to be immoral in their behaviors at work. Do you have a link? My personal intuition is that "grandiose" and "anxious" people are quite distinct groups with very distinct behaviors.

> If the Russian example you give is supported by the majority then that is by definition democratic, even though propaganda created that public sentiment in the first place. Should propaganda (manifestos of hate in this case) be censored? Your own example suggests "yes it should".

Not at all. If you give governments powers to censor people, sooner or later you will have someone in power that will use those tools maliciously against their own populace.

Therfore you don't allow a government (or anyone else for that matter) to censor except in very specific circumstances e.g. when the content is considered obscene (child pornography being an example).

Improbable Inspiration: Bayesian Networks (1996)
Without all the details here, but my gut feeling is this a bad offer, here's why:

Problem 1:
>The offer is based solely on milestone deliverables, and will vest when those are complete

This is a classic way to continue delaying giving equity/increasing comp. There's always more to build to deliver features -- 'Sorry, but the app UI doesn't work on certain newer iPhone models yet, you don't get your raise/equity/whatever was promised until that's fixed...', and then something else after ('Sorry, we've had other people join the team and contribute to those milestones, we need to rework your equity model'). Not saying all these are legally possible but I've seen stuff like this done. Time based vesting avoids this.

Problem 2: You have 0 diversification. That's fine if you have the cofounder potential upside but doesn't sound like you do. Why not start your own startup? You are investing all your time into an illiquid, high risk company, why aren't you a cofounder?

I'm not sure it's as difficult as you suggest. As long as you don't let applications touch the pixel data of decoded images, it's all within libraries, and you can change the bit depth of buffers and change how they map to physical pixels easily.

Most frameworks don't let applications touch pixel data without jumping through some hoops, because by restricting it you can implement things like lazy loading, GPU jpeg decoding GPU resizing, etc.
It's tedious and cumbersome to do so with C++, and with QT is a nightmare.
There is no evidence they applied rules selectively. What I meant by inconsistent process is that it's subjective. These process usually say something like "Two L6+ need to approve...". Then it's assigned to someone and that person can spend 2 minutes or 2 hours on it. Paper reviews are esp prone to that. How likely your paper being accepted is often more of a factor of who reviews it than how good the paper is. The main thing for me is that it was clear the paper would have been published eventually. I've seen it many times - reviewers ask for some changes. Authors make the changes, Reviews are happy. Paper is published. The reviewers didn't ask for anything that would make the paper weaker, nor did they ask to remove any content.

I'm guessing she was so mad because they were external people on the paper and pulling the paper out would make her look bad.
There are other both more useful and harder to generalize structures like various kinds of trees for example.

Trees are usually easy because each node has a single parent all the way up to the root and ownership can follow the same hierarchy. More general graphs are a little more tricky, but the same techniques that you can use to implement a specific case like a DLL generalise. For example, in Rust, you can combine Option and Rc to handle, respectively, the intermediate states while the structure is being manipulated and the shared ownership semantics.

IIRC smokers change their inhaling patterns with 'light' cigarettes - they inhale more deeply and prolong the nictoine absorbtion time. In the EU its illegal to brand cigarettes as light.
I'd suspect so, at least at first while they have withdrawal symptoms. Frankly it might be more humane to ban it outright rather than have people desperately chain smoking.
> In Persia, where opium is sold without control in opium shops, 70 per cent of the adult population is addicted.

«One of the first scientific descriptions of opium use in Iran was written by Dr. Jacob Eduard Polak (1818–1891), a Jewish Austrian physician who worked in Iran between 1851 and 1860 (1) among teachers of the first Iranian medical school. His detailed description of Iran and Iranians was published as a book with the original title “Persien, das land und seine bewohner.” In this book he wrote: “hashish-cannabis is used by some ethnic groups but opium use is a very popular habit and unlike cannabis it has no negative social stigma or shame for users. It is not forbidden and every Iranian who can afford its cost uses it daily.”» - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4479403/

So it was social stigma, not availability that made the difference.
One thing I notice about developing countries that is basically non-existent in the US is tenement housing. In a lot of counties you can get a tiny “apartment” where it’s enough to sleep out of the rain and lock up your possessions. The “minimum housing” is actually not that expensive.

These places are long gone in the US, because of fire code reasons, local regulations, etc. The minimum housing in many areas that have the hardest hit homeless populations is probably closer to $1500 a month.

What’s more cruel, having people live in tenement housing our having none available at all?

This might work in the long run, and I'm all for policies to reduce the amount of people in the world that smoke.

Having said that, when I only have access to light cigarettes, that come with less nicotine, I just end up smoking more cigarettes, as the craving is not satisfied.
The drug war has failed and they want to start it again with nicotine? Here comes black market cigarettes.
> Not sure why 1-based indexing is more logical in high-level or scientific computing.

Because mathematics and physics use 1-based array index since ever? I first learned about matrices in math classes, then in numerical methods (All 1-based) and then we programmed in Fortran (1-based).

It is not that is more logical, it is just a convention. But I have seen wayyyy more people complaining about 1-based index languages than about 0-based languages.
So what education do we need to know how to utilize total freedom of speech in a civil manner?

In other words, what needs to be taught/learned that everyone can understand globally and across cultures which helps humanity understand how to get the maximum benefit from this technology and protect oneself from the negative impacts?

I mean this honestly and literally, what would you tell or teach people? What would an educational program for this look like? What would it look like for all ages, and cultures and how could we make it universal? Is it even possible?

I feel the best way to harness the power and control the outcome in the longest run is to evolve our understanding with intent.

Because absolute freedom means without restriction and can tend towards chaos, how do we train humanity???

Maybe I'm on a tangent but I am not sure how to answer this question myself.

One thing that came to mind was secular ethics but that is far too complicated to teach directly. And I am not sure if there is any cultural bias in that idea as well.

I guess I'm thinking.. teach, learn and evolve while trying not to force control. I realize even writing it how impossible that sounds, but should we put our energy into cracking this problem?

Nearly 100%, but you're comparing against the wrong devices. When I run a Linux router, I am not choosing at random from all the vendors. It's the same for my phone. I choose which one to use on purpose. Not only can I install my own apps, but I can install my own system as well. This lets me run devices from 2013 on the latest version of Android.

Answers below until I am no longer rate limited:

> Sure but almost nobody can do that because they didn’t make the same careful choice as you did.

What does that have to do with anything? Just because all iOS devices are bad and many Android devices are bad doesn't mean all devices are bad. I choose from the good devices.

> Also, you routinely make unsupported claims

Show me one unsupported claim I have made.

> you are going to say nearly 100%, you’ll need to show a source.

I have literally never seen an Android phone that does not allow sideloading. I have heard of many that do not allow unlocking the bootloader, but sideloading is standard. I can't provide a source because the idea that an Android phone would not allow sideloading is so absurd that nobody would bother explaining why it doesn't exist.

> it contradicts what others say when I suggest Android is an open alternative to iOS.

What have others said?

Edit 2 for the second post:

> Usually when I bring up sideloading as a reason why people should choose Android if they don’t like the restrictions of iOS, people claim that it is too hard for regular users to do because of the configuration required.

The OS takes the user to the settings checkbox to check. This has been true for as long as I can remember.
