A friend of mine is doing a mostly self-funded startup (chalkboardmap.com) and has cargo on this ship.

It really sucks.

It's their first shipment after doing a Kickstarter. They have 1,000 maps on the ship and they're not sure if the maps are in the water or not.

When I heard the story, I couldn't even believe it happened.

Like, who thinks... "well I hope my container doesn't fall into the ocean"?

What are the odds?

But now, seeing this article, I realize the case really is extraordinary.
Be sure to drink your ovaltine
My Kickstarter that I’ve been working on for a year now and that backers have been waiting on for months was on that ship. Needless to say, it’s been a brutal week.
I can't help but notice how this code, as well as in the article, there's no checks for a) a NULL list or b) that the item is in fact part of the list. A simple fix is:

while (!!walk && walk != entry) {
prev = walk;
walk = walk->next;
}

or

while (!!indirect && !!(*indirect) && (*indirect) != entry)
indirect = &(*indirect)->next;

...because without those checks it's pretty easy to see where you'll crash... but by putting in those checks, perhaps the second method might actually be less 'elegant'.

Edit: did I miss something? Re-checking this, the second method will still crash if/when next is NULL (because you can't get the address of NULL), which means the 'elegant' seems to be a quagmire of lurking faults.
Sure, let the ones who want to stay home stay home. Meanwhile, I will have more productive interaction with coworkers, faster responses to my questions, less ping-pong during code reviews, better insight into what my team is working on, and none of that attempted Slack multitasking where each side takes 5-10 minutes to send a response.

It's been three quarters of a year. In my experience and the experience of my friends, an effective etiquette for distributed teams has not materialized. People who work effectively in an office will go back to being effective in an office. The people who work remotely from a horse farm in Hartford and pop into Zoom twice a week for some drive-by decision-making will continue to contribute that way. The ones who could have been effective working from home will get increasingly handicapped by teams who don't work well with them, and will need to decide accordingly.
Yeah we asked for transactions and they gave us this... thing.

It’s cute, and useful, but in the end it brings back the primary problem that Docker actually solves: absolutely getting all of the files your code needs to run into the package, and the right version.

Multistage builds require you to airlift files out of one image into another. Accurately. If cherry-picking is the best option on offer by docker, there are plenty of other tools that can do that.

Collapsing layers is about seeing that an image provides a set of services at point A, and another set at point B, and that nothing in between represents an interim state of any substantial value. For most images, this is one or two layers that relate to either the main payload, or one particularly volatile dependency.

Some rather serious side effects have been described in a vegetarian (probably already b12 deficient) after just an hour of continuous exposure.

While that was in a clinical setting, it can be quick if you’re already at risk.

I wonder if there's some way to compare that to driving accident/flying accident rates for a comparison. Though I'm not sure how to compare it as drivers drive more than once in a year compared to a container only shipped once.
interesting. This Recorderjs appears to be by Matt Diamond. Right?
We're talking about repeated attacks at around 1.4Ghz, so not only within the range of SIGINT, but it would literally fry your phone, and they were supposedly repeated.

As for the last one, if there was proof, then the State Department wouldn't abandon the theory, and such wildly speculative and substance-less research wouldn't be commissioned.
Trends for 2021
It sounds like you are just regurgitating some blog post you found. I don't have any workloads that are decode starved on x86 so it wouldn't make any difference if Intel had 50 decoders. I do have tons of workloads that spend a lot of time on TLB misses. I have several that are cache fill limited.
It would be quite unusual to get 5-6 meter waves at BF4. That's more of a BF8 level. I bet it's misreported. Most ships, even small ones, will not care for BF4.

Really there are two:

You have metadata in the file (magic numbers, etc)

You have metadata outside the file that is attached

Meta in the file will move between OSs.

Meta outside the file might not.

What we probably need is every file in all OSs to have an agreed upon metadata file header. I mean, it's 2020... but that is some serious cat herding.

Back when I was saddled with Documentum and the great problem of extracting metadata from office docs, this also reared its head. A common metadata block would have been nice so you didn't have to code against hostile file formats (not that Office would play nice with a common metadata block, but maybe customers could force them. Maybe. Well, I can dream)
One thing I've wondered is how the dynamic would work if you combined unlimited vacation with a minimum requirement. Would that be enough to foster a culture of taking the time you want/need and not worrying? Or would your minimum essentially become the expected amount, with any excess frowned upon?
That doesn't sound bad. If you ship a lot, you may save money on the insurance fees and only chip in in the event something actually gets lost. The insurance fees would obviously include the actual premiums (income) of the insurers, which you save the money on, so in the long term it should cost you less, shouldn't it?
The U.S. used to allow very cheap international book shipping by surface mail, called an M-bag

https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-M-bag-Service

It was kind of insanely cheap compared to other ways of transporting books internationally. But it was discontinued about a decade ago and replaced with airmail M-bags, which may still be cheaper than many other options but are not nearly as cheap as the surface M-bags were.

Did you (or someone who was sending you these books) find a service like this still available from Japan? I'd be happy to hear that this is still offered in other countries and that people are still getting a benefit from it.

But there is no evidence to suggest that any theft of voter registration data could’ve had an impact on the election in Arizona. It’s possible to simply buy voter data from Maricopa County, costing as little as $328 for 1 million or more records. The systems used to count votes in Maricopa County were not affected. And despite fears of foreign interference and voter fraud, the DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has stated the 2020 election was the “most secure in American history.”

The story appears to degrade the stolen election conspiracy theory, not reinforce it.

> Combined with previous studies, genomic sequences from both time periods show that both northern and southern sea otter populations once called Oregon’s coastline home. Perhaps the region was once a genetic way station, allowing interbreeding up and down the Pacific Coast, says Dr. Larson, who did not participate in the current work. And that implies that Alaskan otters can be used for reintroduction programs.

One issue might be climate change. The waters off the Oregon coast may have gotten warmer, with possible changes in the sea life living in the waters. It may be better from a long term perspective to introduce the Southern species which would be better adapted to warmer waters.
Sounds like a horrible idea since the insurance pool is limited to the size of the ship. Hopefully at least it’s averaged by value rather than number of containers so that if someone is shipping corn and a container of iPhones gets jettisoned they don’t get a bill for their life savings.
I have a degree in mathematics, so you don't need to explain statistical analysis to me. That would be as ludicrous as me pointing out to a medical doctor what a control group is... but here we are.
This would be pretty great if available on Azure Stack on prem.

The house always wins. What did you expect? Insurance is for when a loss would be unacceptably big.

And I guess there are more things that can go wrong than dumping cargo. Breaking in transit.
Sometimes captains decide to go through much worse storms.

That's what happened with El Faro, if I remember correctly. A huge ship sunk by a huge storm. The captain was a self-sure moron, killed 30+ people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_El_Faro
Agreed. The 'indirect pointer' points to the memory address of the previous 'next' (or the head). So, as long as neither are NULL, then dereferencing the pointer is the actual head (or the previous 'next').
I am too. If it were me, every single one of those things would be Federal, with appropriate State involvement where necessary.

Basically, the people acting directly through government to improve their common lot.

Again, think Interstate Highway Project.

Private investment can happen along side and should. But the core things are public works so that the primary returns are either going back to the treasury to pay down debt, or going to people to reduce their cost and risk exposure or employ them at meaningful compensation levels.

Directly employ people for infrastructure too.

The usual people do not need more money. They will benefit from public works, will have to compete and or can invest alongside, same as they did last time.

We all benefit.
But given the “General Average” concept you could have received a bill for many times the value of what you shipped.
How did you find manufacturers for printing the physical cards/boxes? And why did you only price it at $100, doesn't most manufacturers require a base number of printing, like 1000 boxes?
Probably not, otherwise the dip in production after 2008 wouldn't have happened.

What are some alternatives you would suggest?

Please incorporate these aspects:

1. Running a network and computers costs money.

2. Commercial forces seek out channels where attention exists.

3. There is an incentive for content providers to place ads.

4. (add your own factors)
While true, it is quite staggering to visualize 100mx100mx75m of shipping containers to represent what gets lost every year. Yes it is tiny in the global scale of what is being shipped but wow that is a large apartment building every year getting dumped into the ocean.
Couldn’t the waves originate elsewhere where it’s BF8? What’s going to stop a wave in the open ocean?
Asking for a friend: what's current state of the art in reversing pixelated censorship in Japanese movies? Obviously a tougher problem because the original is not known, but you'd think a well-trained GNN should be able to make a pretty good guess.
My memory would be £10,000-£15,000.

Mostly it was sentimental stuff, I know we shipped cutlery, paintings, a very small number of books, clothing etc. But roughly speaking we'd got rid of anything and everything we could easily replace.

(And it has to be said that the pair of us carried a few suitcases for our flights, we'd filled those with plants and other fragile items.)
I don't think this article causes any harm... I am not sure where you are getting that from.

Yes, this article is not addressed to non-technical readers, but my interpretation is that they are wanting technical people to create this "new internet" for the masses.
>Many iOS apps can now be run on MacOS via IPA files, e.g. native Slack iOS client app instead of bloated and memory-hogging web/electron client.

I expected iOS apps on the Mac to be absolute trash (and they are... at least by Mac standards), so there's really something to be said about the state of the web when the iOS variants of these apps (running on a Mac) still provide a better UX than the web variants.

I know when Twitter for Mac came out (another unoptimized iOS app running on the Mac), I installed it and never once looked back at their bloated web client. And I know that if I could get the apps for Gmail, Youtube, Netflix, Reddit and other popular websites on my Intel Mac, I'd likely never go back to their web versions either (seriously, Apollo for iOS is so much better than the Reddit website).

The open web is important. But until the web provides a UX of comparable quality to native clients, users will understandably flock to closed app sandboxes when given the opportunity. Great web apps do exist, but us haphazardly bolting on framework after framework is killing the performance and UX of the web. Sticking our heads in the sand about this isn't doing the open web any favours.

> For all the highly paid data scientists google paid, they somehow thought IAC's business in this space was consumer positive when every metric must have been screaming that it was user unfriendly.

How do you get to that idea from the article? To me it seems to be saying the opposite: the Chrome Trust & Safety has been saying the extensions were malicious, not that these are positive to the consumers. It also states that the reason the extensions haven't been removed are anti-trust fears.

Are those fears justified? Given the quote from IAC in that article, that's clearly how they're going to spin it. And various competition authorities seem to very sympathetic the idea that Google should continue serving search results for garbage sites that real users aren't interested in as long as there's any appearance of conflict of interest. This seems analogous to that.

Here is some peer watching a stream (in french) and look at the stats.
My taste is that function level comments describe the "what" and inline comments describe the "why".

So at a function level the comments is giving a highlevel description to the reader as to the functionality contained, and at the line level comments exist only to say describe the programmers intentionality, why it was implemented this way rather than some other way.

I have generally found (there are always exceptions) that if you find yourself needing "what" comments within a function you should be considering breaking it into smaller pieces.

And as bad as click fraud on Google and Facebook is, I don't see how more advertisers would help. The only way they could really improve fraud detection is if Google Analytics were instead some sort of public utility. And even then I don't really see how you could get a competitive marketplace for fighting fraud. You would just have to trust that the analytics utility was legit.

And anyway GDPR/CCPA type legislation is probably a better route, which if anything makes fraud detection even more difficult.
Actually a pretty cool idea. Otherwise you'd have people bribing the captain to make them throw out their stuff last, increasing fare prices for everyone, but in a hidden way.

Music theory is based on generalizing patterns that are found in actual music. Your "muscle memory" is an integral part of understanding this generalization semi-rigorously. About the only thing that can be called loosely 'rigorous' wrt. music theory is the derivation of the diatonic scale from "stacking" fifths.

I was thinking the same thing and wondering if that was several wafers worth of batches in Videocards / CPUs that we're all hitting F5 trying to order frequently.
Containers aren't really a thing. That's the more troubling bit.

Docker containers are an amalgamation of features, tweaks, and functions which combine together into one experience. There is no kernel concept of a container. There are cgroups, namespaces, capabilities, chroots, CoW Overlay VFS, bind mounts, firewalls, virtual networking... And a whole lot of custom crap Docker provides. You have to have a lot of custom glue to make it all work. You need "a Docker".

Every attempt to make a replacement for Docker falls short because of how many things it has to touch to make things easy to use. To replace it all (since it's not an OS primitive) requires product development, which is expensive and complicated, and probably not vendor-compatible with Docker anyway. So you might as well just have people run Docker.

Containers fundamentally change the concepts used to maintain and operate applications in OSes. I think eventually they will become core features, but it's going to take a while. Someone's going to need to start sending in some pretty big patch sets one piece at a time, such as kernel drivers for all the various features. OCI also needs a lot more help before we can run a container everywhere, and it will undoubtedly involve some virtualization layers we don't yet use as part of containers, which will add more complexity.

There are so many things. First, the network effect. Going from an established platform to a new one means you lose a lot of viewers that aren't going to switch and the potential to gain new ones since the other platform is new.

Secondly, well-established payment methods such as Twitch Prime which provide a lot of revenue for streamers on Twitch.

Third, existing contracts with Twitch.

Fourth, streaming platforms are incredibly expensive to create, maintain, and promote. They will not be profitable for a long, long time, on top of requiring mountains of cash to start.

And finally, users "get used" to a specific platform, e.g. Twitch chat, and it's difficult to break these emotional attachments.
Yes, this was the first thing that came to my mind as well. An excellent movie, especially as Robert Redford is the only actor in the entire movie, and I don't think he speaks more than a few words for the entirety of the film.
India already blocks specific YouTube videos in geographical India, they don't want dissent. For that they just approach YouTube or twitter or whatever because these companies have financial incentives aka ads to earn in India and non compliance would mean no business. Big woop.

This just came up yesterday. Now, I have said this multiple tines before, they dont have "sophisticated surveillance techniques" as alluded to by the article here but a simple handle search in twitter, which links to FB, which links to phone, address, work, parents and next thing you know police are knocking on the door.

Its just really scummy of the government to assume they can kill dissent or that these scare tactics would work. They don't.

Every time they issue a new certificate, they need to get every single user to install it, whereas it should only take a moment for the browser vendors to block it. I would think it's pretty clear who has the upper hand there.

They would be better off releasing some fork of Chromium—which is, unfortunately, also a thing they can presumably do...

Yes, that is the case. Sideloading is just the ability to install apps from somewhere other than the official store(s) on the device.
I think also if they are refrigerated and full of food, the food rots and gases off, keeping them afloat longer. Also, I recall something about certain containers (or maybe it was just an experiment?) having holes in them plugged with a material which dissolves after extended exposure to saltwater - so within a few hours they sink.

My own devices and the devices of my friends and family are end users. I do not have to connect the devices to my computer. On iOS, you cannot do this without paying Apple yearly unless you want to deal with reinstalling every week.

They are enabled by the same mechanism. If you have one, you automatically have the other.
After seeing the film All is Lost with Robert Redford solo sailing around the world I have a deep visceral fear of partially submerged shipping containers. You could be sailing thousands of miles from shore and suddenly sinking.
