I realised after I wrote my original comment that I forgot to add a rider along the lines of "without causing profound and possibly unwanted side effects", which is often the fundamental problem with having indirectly elected (aka appointed without a popular vote) people in positions of power.

And you're right, this is a very widespread problem today. That doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the issue and challenge the status quo where opportunities present, of course.
Oh... so journalists not complying with police orders in hostile/riot environments... literally nothing to see here...
Eh. I love pytorch, but it can definitely be difficult to reason about at times. For instance, due to async dispatch on GPU, you could get assertion errors where a line fails, but the real error was actually several lines above.

That was difficult to reason about.

because a larger number of smaller companies increases competition, meaning users can realistically leave, making firms accountable to their community (ask yourself why discourse on HN or a mastodon instance is more civil than on Facebook, for example). More human-scale size enables human content moderation.

any given smaller company is non-essential, meaning it cannot challenge lawmakers on the grounds of being essential, or bully lawmakers into submission.

Smallness also incentivises business models that aren't data-analytics driven because small companies simply lack huge pools of user-data, hopefully diminishing the toxic surveillance-capital model of predominantly large firms.
Agreed. Very impressed by the hardware build quality of my PinePhone.
Lol, "alt.religion.emacs" ?
Isn't that backwards, though? More green threads increase the throughput of kernels, or at least decrease the processing latency.
It repeats for Americans over and over like a tape. The outrages literally copy themselves just switching sides. It's very hard to even discuss these matters with Americans since they have both picked their favorite football team and hold onto their dogmas just middle age church.
Lol, the stuff he says is not crazy. Some aspects are debatable (e.g. move to a tech hub to succeed or the most important trait in early stage investing) but it's fairly good.

I've summarised the points I found generally useful.
> The fact that arrests of journalists are being tracked implies that some gatekeeping about who is a journalist is necessary.

Not really. Just track the statistics for full-time journalists. Then you don't have to engage in gatekeeping of journalism, you're just sensibly excluding full-time bounty hunters who wrote a news article that one time from the statistics on arrests of full-time journalists, even if the bounty hunter was, in that one instance, a journalist.
Wondering what an equivalent option would be in Europe. P100 seems to be not available outside the US.
How can any official in the UK or EU say with a straight face they don't think every tech company hands over data to the US government when they themselves hand their own citizens data to the US government.
Sometimes it seems there's a related law that has replaced the one you cite: "When in doubt, blame Russia."

Hah yeah, I remember Bongo and IFC and did some work on one of their competitors. In retrospect, yes, it's not an approach that really had much of a chance in the long term because at the end of the day, it's building dynamic dispatch/message passing and all sorts of other scaffolding out of more-or-less strings on top of a language/runtime that's supposed to provide these.
Their cloud shell thingy is actually just a docker container, and you can create your own to load as a replacement.

> with zero external dependencies

I am very skeptical of this claim...in practice I've found it to rarely be the case. Usually shell scripts have more dependencies, and even worse, they are implicit since Bash provides no mechanism for managing dependencies. Programs like sed, awk, grep, cut, paste, curl, jq, gzip, tar, etc. These are all separate dependencies, usually in separate packages (some are grouped together into coreutils), supporting different feature sets between distributions and OSes. All of those can be replaced with the Python standard library.

Bash itself is pretty anemic and isn't very useful without gluing together external programs, which is its raison d'etre after all.

Yikes, those photos aren't so great. There's a decent amount of noise. I guess it's hard to compete at the level of some phone manufacturers. I do love the elegance of taking photos with commands:

Tech companies, or any company for that matter, will do what is best for themselves.
Regulations exist to protect consumers and other companies from accusative behaviors. Remove the regulation and the 'we care for your privacy' message disappears with it. Because they never cared for your privacy, they will just doing what was mandatory.
It is not in general legal to change prefixes and reserialize an XML document. Some official XML formats including XML Schema allow attribute values to reference prefixes in xs:QName types. One needs to bind the schema to detect that.

But it gets worth with XSLT using the prefixes in XPath expressions in attributes. If the prefixes are changed those values also need to be updated to change the prefix too, which requires complete knowledge of the
format. This is because one cannot programmatically detect something like attributes that use custom data types that reference the prefixes in scope, but XSLT's xpath expressions show that W3C considers it legal to create such custom formats.
It's a completely different problem because by default Prometheus does not shard anything so you're bound to a single instance, where ES and Kafka are cluster based.
In US Politics, "conservative" often means someone who believes in small government and less regulation.

Regulations tend to take a lot of money to comply with, making it difficult for small businesses to compete with larger ones.

So it is in small business owners' interests to support candidates that claim to be in favor of removing regulatory restrictions.

Which tends to be a Republican talking point (whether or not they actually do anything to advance the cause once elected)

It's interesting how quickly the social space changes. I remember when this first came out, and there was Meerkat as well, it felt like a lot of interesting innovations were possible when it came to social media. The space is starting to feel mature, and to me, a little stale. There isn't a sense of adventure and wonder now with social media.
Note you can open files through SSH in Vim. This is better that ssh'ing on a machine that runs Vim, because all the editing is done on your machine. It only uses the connection when you save the file.
Oh, I see the point you are raising. Yes, if your reason for educating and empowering women is so they will have fewer children (statistically) then yeah, definitely need to questioned.
except with sed, awk and jq, I don't have to worry about it being present on a production system and someone leveraging it to execute arbitrary, sophisticated code.

You can't just assume that it's okay to have your preferred scripting language everywhere.
Good observation. I've experienced the consequences of turnover on my current team. The product was mostly built 5 years ago, but no one on my team has been here more than 1.5 years. Getting even basic things done requires extensive codebase archaeology. It sucks.

I don't necessarily think you need the people who wrote the code originally though. As long as there's enough overlap between generations, and deliberate effort to train people on different parts of the system, knowledge can be preserved. That's probably not possible if everyone changes teams after 2 years though, except for relatively simple or highly standardized codebases.
You can connect via ssh to a GCP cloudshell instance, you just need to spin it up first.

The 2 months in March and April I was remote were the most productive months of my time here. However, they were the least productive of managements, and they took it out on us with an unrealistic schedule that we got lambasted for not finishing in a timely manner. We've been back in office since. A remote option even post covid is very much necessary for wherever I'm going next.
There are people here all over the world. In large parts of Europe liberals prefer low taxes and small state to conservatives who want to give their old voters all sort of gifts and benefits. Probably the American idea of a libertarian is more suited.

I've been considering getting my first Apple phone and this will probably seal the deal. I wish there was an alternative to Apple & Android which provided a cutting edge camera with good performance but sadly that doesn't seem to be the case.
The convergence package increases the internal flash (eMMC) storage from 16GB to 32GB, and the RAM from 2GB to 3GB. That leaves two hardware configurations, each available with Manjaro or KDE pre-loaded.

It looks like the Manjaro version may only be available in the EU, so that might simplify your decision.

The PinePhone is awesome--I love my Braveheart edition--but you should probably have a decent understanding of Linux and/or embedded systems (at least replacing an Android bootloader) in order to appreciate it at this point. If your goal is to learn then it certainly could be fun, although you might want to supplement with something a little more beginner friendly like a Raspberry Pi or a laptop/desktop you can boot from USB. Personally I would only advise someone to purchase a PinePhone now if they're totally comfortable replacing the OS, in which case the edition it ships with doesn't really matter (other than the branding).
Yes, I have a localhost running python script to communicate with serial devices and printers, so this makes it a bit easier. (I currently slide in a self-signed cert)
Multiplexing on the 2600 can't go nearly as far as that screenshot shows. The 2600 has two sprites per line plus a few single-bit objects. There's a particular way to reuse sprites within the same scanline, but only at certain fixed intervals which isn't what we see here, plus strobing the positioning register that fast requires every single CPU cycle so it's impossible to also write the color and playfield registers at the same time.

> Regulations exist to protect consumers and other companies from accusative behaviors.

I think this is possibly a bit naive. Regulations also exist to protect powerful people's businesses, to push personal agendas, and to further political aims even if those are not actually in the interests of any consumers. Also sometimes people think they're making a regulation to protect consumers, but actually it makes things worse.
Exactly right. And one reason the "prices are so high" is the possibly illegal monopoly action that Google, Facebook, etc took. Once the Government splits these companies, will the people who inflated the price of housing by paying too much be made to compensate other people who had to pay too much for housing?

House prices are high in SV because they're not building enough housing. Blame zoning laws and racism (Palo Alto only builds low-income housing for people with college degrees and no criminal records. They call it "teacher housing.") Don't blame the generation that came before you.

James Clark's compact syntax for Relax/NG XML schema validation language is quite tastefully designed, an equivalent but more convenient alternative syntax than XML, for writing tree regular expressions matching XML documents. It's way more beautiful and coherent than the official "XML Schema" standard.

RELAX NG compact syntax cheat sheet

https://gist.github.com/miikka/b137a8705e88b0b6c164

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RELAX_NG#Compact_syntax

>RELAX NG compact syntax is a non-XML format inspired by extended Backus-Naur form and regular expressions, designed so that it can be unambiguously translated to its XML counterpart, and back again, with one-to-one correspondence in structure and meaning, in much the same way that Simple Outline XML (SOX) relates to XML. It shares many features with the syntax of DTDs. Here is the compact form of the above schema:

element book {
element page { text }+
}

>With named patterns, this can be flattened to:

start = element book { page+ }
page = element page { text }

>A compact RELAX NG parser will treat these two as the same pattern.

There's a wonderful DDJ interview with James Clark called "A Triumph of Simplicity: James Clark on Markup Languages and XML" where he explains how a standard has failed if everyone just uses the reference implementation, because the point of a standard is to be crisp and simple enough that many different implementations can interoperate perfectly.

I have no idea why this was downvoted. Android is bloated and clunky, and far too many manufacturers put it in devices where it solves precisely zero problems and creates hundreds.
In your teens and 20s, you care what other people think about you.

In your 30s and 40s, you stop caring what other people think about you.

In your 50s and 60s, you realize that no one was really thinking about you after all.
FFs market share was a bit higher back then, though.

I see the main asset of firefox as being

a) not google tech

b) mobile browser with ublock

c) tech nerds with tons of custom FF addons, never wanting to switch

So I don't see them go away anytime soon, but I also see nothing to stop the decrease of their marketshare. That means, unless mozilla would focus on their core values again. They lost much trust with quite some shady actions now, over the years.
I think that’s a good point and I’m not sure I can answer the question (without following back on some unsupported and self-fulfilling a priori assumption like “the market chooses the most efficient solutions”). However, my point is just that I think that’s the wrong focus. Even if it could be proved, I don’t think that’s enough.
That’s a lot of words just to say “Unions are bad, mm’kay”
"essentially everyone" is obviously not "everyone" but it is probably higher than you might think. Somewhere around 80%
> Well for one, there are 2x as many cows in America today than there ever were bison.

(citation needed)

> For 2, we “turn” cows faster by killing them to eat them (rather than letting nature sort it out). So that 2x is then multiplied by some factor

Neither the absolute number nor the turnover rate matter. Only the raw amount of biomass. The turnover rate has nothing to do with the fact that essentially all the carbon emitted by the cow was recently removed from the atmosphere by a plant, making the whole process carbon-neutral.

> For 3, our consumption habits have exported the cow to new environments where bison were not native (like Brazil).

I limited my observation to the United States for a reason, but okay, I'll bite. How does a cow being "in Brazil" change the fact that any carbon it emits was almost certainly removed from the atmosphere by a plant within the last year, making the cow's digestion effectively carbon-neutral?
> “ .NET's ecosystem uses binaries as the primary exchange mechanism. This solves various problems, especially shielding the consumer from having to replicate the build environment. It's also what enables the multi-language ecosystem.”

And then

> “ However, one largely unsolved problem is the link between source code and binaries. While a significant portion of packages on nuget.org are open source and often link to the GitHub repo, there is no way to ensure that the source code being pointed too actually matches the binaries submitted to nuget.org.”

If the goal of .Net 6 is to defragment the .Net ecosystem then why would you still have to shield developers from a build environment? The multi-language argument is weak too.

Developers should be able to publish source code to nuget instead of binaries as an alternative. Rust managed to achieve this and that doesn’t even have a common intermediate language to protect itself from hardware differences.

Instead, we have to endure this horrible code signing nonsense which is just security theatre, especially for small published open source libraries.

SSM connects to the instance through the agent (you're logged in as ssm-user) so you don't need to open port 22 inbound, while Instance Connect does the public key magic and connects you directly over SSH.

From EC2 Instance Connect docs: "[...] it generates a one-time-use SSH public key, pushes the key to the instance where it remains for 60 seconds, and connects the user to the instance. You can use basic SSH/SFTP commands with the Instance Connect CLI."

I'm not sure this result is that interesting. First, there's the assumption that Apple bothered optimizing their proprietary ML library for Intel as much as they did for their own M1 chip:

> Presumably, Apple has already done the work in optimizing CreateML for both for their Intel and M1 devices.

Second, the M1 is faster than the Intel Macbook with an integrated GPU. But the article also notes this, which makes the comparison apples and oranges IMO:

> Notably, training was unable to take advantage of the integrated Intel Iris graphics card to accelerate training but it was able to partially utilize the integrated graphics card on the M1.

Third, the M1 lags the Intel with the discrete Radeon GPU, where the GPU is being utilized. But this is not exactly a surprising result. Nor is it a comparison against the state of the art. What matters more practically is a comparison between an M1 Macbook Pro and a leading competing laptop with a discrete nvidia GPU.
If you're not attuned enough to figure out why political alliances are worthwhile, your opinions probably aren't that original.

It's not a matter of "reassurance" - it's about economies of scale. If the best explanation you can come up with for why a bunch of people exhibit a behavior you don't is "they have a personality flaw", this is very strong evidence that you don't actually have a good grasp of people's motivations.
No shift - it's just that most people espouse their convictions with an unstated parenthetical that those convictions only apply when it furthers the power ambitions for them or their allies. Not much else explains e.g. how Julian Assange's rep has changed in the past 10 years.

I'm sure if anyone responds to this, it will be to tell me why Julian's case is actually different and now he's dangerous for democracy...but sorry, no, his case isn't different. You're just a hypocrite.
Am I crazy, or has pine64 actually managed to build a sustainable ARM Linux company? There have been a hundred of these projects over the years. I feel like they tend to launch with a lot of fanfare, and eventually lose steam and die.

But pine64 seems to have started humbly and slowly be building momentum.

Their margins have to be tiny though, judging by the impressive build quality of my $150 PinePhone.
I'm not sure if you have filled out the form, but whether you cross-reference the email address with other data is asked in a separate follow-up question: "Do you or your third-party partners use email addresses for tracking purposes?"

Therefore if you collect email addresses for user account purposes you would probably answer yes to to the first question about whether they are linked to the user's identity, and then no to the second question of whether you use them for tracking purposes.
