> The reason in principle this might not work is that different distros and os's trust different keys. Fedora trusts different keys than Ubuntu, than Arch, than macOS, etc.

Every distro has a keystore / certificate store to which root can add whatever keys/certificates they like. The only difference is in which keys/certificates are present OOTB.

> I don't think this is necessarily the case. Even if you gain access to the server, HTTPS keys are usually stored in such a way that only root can read them, right? So if you only compromised a non-root account, you wouldn't necessarily be able to read them (I might be wrong about this, I don't do this kind of thing professionally).

The purpose of the key is to vouch for the integrity of the data. If I can change the data the key vouches at will, I've effectively compromised the key, even if I never gain access to the bytes of the key itself.

> You're probably right about this, but this is a great example of why you shouldn't use the same key for both code signing and HTTPS.

If the CI pipeline has privilege both to (1) sign stuff with the code signing key (2) upload stuff to the HTTPS server, then even if the code signing key and the HTTPS key are different keys (which is the norm), compromising the CI pipeline is enough to effectively compromise both of them.
Quite a few of the properties a run of text might have are not controlled by styles, and Format Painter makes gives a uniform format for all the selected text: if you go this route, you still might have lots of hand reformatting to do.

It's somewhat weird to see someone immediately jump to category theory when it's more likely to be about basic linear algebra.

That said convolution and correlation are not linear operators but bilinear operators, so I'm struggling a bit to see in what sense they're adjoint.

Maybe something like:

<Conv(x,y), z> = <y, Corr(x, z)>

which does actually work if you let the inner product be the integral of the product and the correlation the time-correlation (so the inner product is the correlation at time 0).
Homelessness as "a problem to deal with" means society is selfish, means exactly what you wrote.

A society where people refuse to see it as a social issue, like sickness, and one that requires a lot of thought because you have to remove them from the eyes of people but don't want to deal with the consequences because it's actually a cleanse under a different name (decency, decorum, etc.).

If SF is the least selfish on the planet (which it isn't, unless you consider a few American cities the World), why people refuse to live with what is obviously a byproduct of their lifestyle?

You can't have all the advantages without any of the drawbacks.

Thinking that it is indeed possible is a symptom of a selfish society.

I live near the Colosseum in Rome and there are homeless living here, in the city centre. Some of them have been living here more than I've been alive.

Nobody thinks they are a problem or have to accept the help, people here accept that where there are people with a lot of money there are gonna be desperate people as well.

Because it's only natural.

And because many have been poor or come from poor families, before being wealthy enough to afford a better life.

It's easier for homeless to find what they need to survive in the big city in the wealthy neighborhood than in the small village in the country in the poor quarter.

They also feel more protected, for obvious reasons (more people with money means more people willing to give, means more wasted food, better illumination, better public services, etc.)

For those in need of medical attention, there is the national healthcare, we call the ambulance, they already know who these people are, bring them in, give them food, a bed and a warm shower and they already know they'll be out on the streets again in a couple of days.
At least they have been checked and their health conditions assessed.
Because it's their job, they don't have to respond to some kind of profit based mechanism, people taxes already paid for it.

Homeless are not treated like a problem, like rejected or defective people, they are taken care of. Because it benefits the society at large.

Of course some of them are a problem, but it's a tiny minority, our biggest issue is finding as many as possible in winter so they don't die in the street for hypothermia or other cold related disease.

Of course is not all roses, we are still talking about people living in the edge of society and sometimes dealing with them is not a pleasant experience, but it's rare.

Also the police here don't treat them like criminals, which is an important difference as well, police usually protect them from bad people. They are in fact much more often victims of violence than perpetrators.

(According to LAPD report in January this year more than one out of three times police officers used force against homeless people in 2019, a 26% increase from 2018)

It's really not that hard, especially for one of the richest cities in the richest country in the World.

Unwillingness is a form of selfishness.

Not learning from what others already do better is a form of entitlement.

Which is a form of selfishness.

It's common for vegans and vegetarians - whatever their reason - to become disgusted with meat after a long enough period.

I think it makes more sense for these products (impossible, beyond, ..) to:

1 - Not worry too much about existing vegetarians / vegans

2 - Put more attention towards the growing number of people who eat meat less frequently

3 - Get prices below real meat and then, I think, it's game over

I just got a fabulous recipe from the uncanny valley of cooking. Almost viable, with just a few mistakes that would have made it both impossible to follow and, if followed as closely as possible, disgusting.

A glorious effort :) Reminds me of Douglas Adams' Nutrimatic machine:

The way it functioned was very interesting. When the _Drink_ button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic examination of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

I agree with you, although the "uncanny valley" for fake meat is definitely something I've experienced even though I'm full vegetarian for merely over a year now. I went to a restaurant that had rather convincing fake-chicken and it was a strangely unpleasant experience, even though I used to eat chicken regularly before.

But I think all these meat alternatives are a great thing for meat lovers who try to reduce their consumption for ethical reasons.

Privacy should always be first and foremost protection from government. However we must acknowledge just how stupid easy it is to find a judge to rubber stamp warrants and in some countries they don't even need that.

Privacy laws tend to focus on corporation's being tasked with protecting it but as stated before they already are handcuffed by the sheer fact government can get the records when it wants them. Worse sycophants within government and these companies will turn it over to prying eyes for financial and political benefit or just self determined moral justification

So in the end only protection we have is making it too costly for anyone to use the information they obtain illegally. This means going not just after the people who leaked/stole/etc the data but anyone with it.

People vastly over estimate how much privacy they have when in fact anything you do outside your home pretty much can be observed and any government agency will be able to get that information through the courts

If that were the case there could be an option to set this on browser basis, using the usual cookies and local storage. Dark mode is not (just) a theme. It's about accessibility. Its benefits vary by time of day and screen in use.

Also, I don't want to use Github when authorized to do things on company repos when browsing something completely unrelated in my own time and own devices. Thus this option is not available to me without creating a dummy account. I also have to change this manually whenever environment changes. With the accompanying blinding flash of light on unfortunate late night sessions.

I'll admit there might be other considerations than funnelling users to registering and using their accounts. It's just not a good user experience and misunderstanding of the target audience.
However, the governing bodies of these programming languages are independent from the companies themselves, which is different than Java's position.

I don't think lab-grown meat is suitable for vegans. Taking a cell biopsy is no different from taking milk or eggs from a living animal.

It's probably suitable for vegetarians though.
The psychology of persuasion was pretty much solidified by the early 1900’s, through the use of direct response advertising.

Back then, it took weeks to figure out which ad copy had better ROI. Now you can do huge tests and figure things out in minutes.

I don’t think there’s been any huge breakthroughs in a long time. All marketing/advertising is just recycled and presented in slightly different ways
OTOH, square pixels are mostly an artifact - back in the day, if you looked at the image your C64 or your SNES would produce on your TV, you couldn't really see the individual pixels as squares, because the low-quality analog display provided its own "antialiasing" - that's what emulators have trouble recreating...
There have been a lot of articles about lab-grown meat lately, but none of them have solved the big problem in the space: fetal bovine serum.

FBS is widely used for cell cultures in laboratories, but I as far as I'm aware, this is the first time that it's used as an industrial process for consumer products (although maybe it's used in commercial pharma, I don't know). FBS extraction is a "slaughterhouse" technology, so these new products don't yet move us any closer to the goal of ending industrial animal slaughter. In fact, this could actually be a step in the wrong direction.

I've kept an eye on this space for a while, and there have been plenty of announcements of artificial FBS, but none of them have ever been able to offer any proof, just vapor.

If a company comes along with a synthetic plant-derived alternative to FBS, and they can actually prove it works, invest heavily. They're the ones who will change the world.

EDIT: Good news! I found there is now a commercially available FBS alternative called 'FastGro'. It is very expensive - $264.60 per 100ml - and it doesn't say how it's made, but hey, it's a start.

It's also worth checking out their brochure just because of how hilarious and awesome the art is: https://media.mpbio.com/document/file/brochure/dest/l/s/1/0/...
I think the difference is the marketing approach. HomeDepot takes a very modern approach of controlling and measuring everything the user does. This needs a ton of code and some absolutely ridiculous stuff no one here would ever build if they were told to redo the site.

The McMaster-Carr mug is an example of marketing done right. It says "we're here to do precisely what you want in exchange for money."
I agree with the sentiment and I don’t use Clojure as much as I did, partly for that reason.

I do recall Clojure/Quil being faster than Rust/Nannou in terms of the feedback loop, because once you’re running a REPL and you start to change and tweak things you can re-evaluate them live in the context of the running sketch.

Neither offers as fast a feedback loop as JS/P5.js, though, and for me Quokka gives much of the benefit of Clojure’s REPL but with less setup, faster boot, and consistency between editors.

Twitter, Tumblr, Vimeo ask EU to redraw the law about online illegal content
I think this is the wrong way to look at it, and the right way is “would omnivores be willing to pay a price premium and perhaps take a taste hit in order to know no animals were harmed?”

For me, yep. What prevents me from eating vegan is the effort required to find, prepare, and get the macro nutrient profile I need. I’ll generally buy the “most organic” chicken I can find as a small token towards attempting less cruelty, and would probably happily pay three to four times the cost of chicken for a lab-brown substitute.
> However, the "bazaar" is also a bit of a myth in this regard. I'm not really aware of any open source projects where I can go submit a PR without talking to anybody and have the expectation that it'll be merged without discussion.

Bazaar is not a myth at all. The distinction was never 'are patches always merged' but is the development done in public. The issue with Google projects is more about in-group and out-group and if you're not in Google, it's hard to be considered 'in-group.

But even if the complaint was that all projects had this issue; it's just wrong. I've made and received plenty of drive by contributions with no discussion before the PR was made. You can't expect it to be merged any more than you can expect a romantic interest to agree to a date. But that's just interacting with people.
Man, that's just great. Movie-like scene.

No, to defend yourself just like the guy in your article did:

The maps showed months of bike rides past the burglarized home.

I’m posting kind of tongue in cheek, because it’s almost a foregone conclusion that people have their mobile device on them, which means the mobile networks know where you are at all times. In that event, it’s more advantageous for you to have access to your location history (via Google/Facebook/Instagram) when the full force or the law starts coming down on you.
Of course with sed you'd use the -i flag.
Personally, I wish the focus were more on new appetizing vegetarian recipes and not on creating Frankenfood that's grown in a lab. I'd rather real meat just be an expensive, rare treat than eat something like this.

India, for example, as a pretty long history of great vegetarian recipes. Why not take a similar approach, instead of coming up with better ways to make fake things appear real?
Rewriting history has absolutely nothing to do with this. In a VCS that doesn't allow this, I could just hand out repo1 and repo1+malicious-patch. In both cases (as with git as well), I can detect this by comparing hashes.
"Those cells are acquired with a simple biopsy"

I guess it depends on where you draw the line? The chicken isn't killed, but I assume it's anesthetized, and surgery is performed on it to get the biopsy sample.

Is that cruel? Do you refuse to eat any product that came from that biopsy?
I've recently started to take care to order directly from the restaurant's website if possible. If that site redirects me to some big app's delivery service, then fine.

Although of course sometimes that entire website might not be from the restaurant but from the app's company. I have no easy way to fight that, I'm afraid. If that happens to a restaurant, they need to take better ownership of their brand.
If by "involved" you mean "take patches that someone else developed and shared on the distros predisclosure list", then they are.

That analogy doesn't work in my opinion, because to even be allowed to drive, an extensive amount of training is required.

I think we need to start very early. There should be more mandatory comouter science and information security classes at schools because we are all confronted with these topics everyday.

Most people can work systems such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners and so on, the problems arise when the internet (or other forms of connectability) comes into the picture. But the reality is that most such systems will probably soon be connected in some way, so the challenge grows.

So I think it is very important that we push for more information/education instead of going into the direction of more locked down, closed off and proprietary systems because these can easily "not respect" the end user.
