I haven't done that much, but generally those modifications are things like... adding a new package, updating an existing package, etc.

As for how, it depends on what I'm doing. If I'm modifying a single package, I might reach for inheritance first (in a file or manifest), although it depends on whether or not that package is at the end of a dependency chain. If it is, inheritance is fine; I'll inherit the upstream version first, change a few fields, and try building/installing it. If not, though, I might be trying to update a library but the program I really care about is an application further down the chain; then I'll typically work from a local Guix checkout so that I can update the library then install the application.

Regarding the ergonomics of each of these:

- If I'm doing something that involves working on a Guix checkout... well, that involves looking up where to find Guix's source code, `git clone`ing it, finding the Guix revision I'm currently on with `guix describe` so I can check out the same one for consistency's sake, `make`ing it, `guix environment guix`, using `pre-inst-env`, etc. I don't really have a problem doing this, but I've also been working with Git and GNU/Linux for years now. It's not very approachable to beginners. Don't get me wrong, it's easier to make changes to Guix than it is to most distros, but I still think it could be better.

- Inheritance can be pretty convenient, but of course when you finish working on something and want to go contribute a patch, you have to go get yourself a Guix checkout anyway and copy your changes over.

I think in my ideal world, there would be a command like `guix edit`, where `guix edit foo` would do something like... give you a local editable checkout of Guix, open an editor to the file at the line where the start of the package is, give the user a quick way to build their new package, etc. I haven't thought through exactly what the UX would be, but essentially the idea is to have the closest thing possible to an "edit source of <package>" button. Bonus points if it can walk the user through the upstream contribution process, and maybe automate the more trivial commit messages for things like adding a new package. I always have to look up that format as I don't contribute packages very often.

This is not to say that what's going on behind the scenes should be completely hidden (verbose flag that shows what commands you could have run?), but providing a simple on-ramp to contributions that doesn't require much pre-existing knowledge is huge for engaging beginners (and even non-beginners who just don't have much time on their hands).
Is this similar?

I usually only ever read the 3 out of 5 stars reviews. Unless there is a ton of it, 1 star reviews are often outliers having had a bad experience, people who clearly haven’t read the product description or having some gripe otherwise. The 5 stars often have the feel (fake or not) that they would give that rating no matter the quality of the product. Whereas 3 star reviews often point out shortcomings of the product that might or might not affect me, so it is the most useful.
Thanks. The neural style transfer model is a little finicky. Sometimes it produces very artistic versions ... and sometimes it's less creative.

If you try again with other styles, hopefully you'll see more artistic results.
“Boston Dynamics Will Continue to Be Boston Dynamics,” Company Says
Rather than looking at this as an enhancement, this raises both of my eyebrows very hard: why would my browser possibly need to tell a webpage all of this information about my system? Of course, it's great for fingerprinting and other shenanigans, but I can't help but feel this is getting absurd. I want my browser to be a webpage reader, not a tool to leak as much data about me as technically possible.

Would something like Firefox's containers(?) help you for these sites? There's a way to leave a single tab signed in without having it leak the fact that you're logged in to your other browser tabs, rather than logging in each time you use the site in a new private session. It's even possible to log in to the same site on multiple accounts with this feature.
'Samizdat' or not, there's no shortage of copies in .epub, .mobi or .pdf formats.

The lack of 'official' versions just means that the publishers haven't seen enough demand for them to incur the costs of doing so. In a proper world, the exorbitant copyright periods would not exist, and many books would be long out of copyright restrictions and available to all, and not dependent on the whim of some commercial entity.

In years to come, people will wonder why very little literature remains from the 20th century. You can mostly thank Disney and Mickey Mouse for that.
You think they aren’t already?
This is rather low-level and needs to be hardcoded by developers. It doesn’t scale.

What we need is ways to mark content as optional or offering it in multiple levels, that the navigator can pick from. This would be similar to how videos are served.

I also want to point out the Save-Data header which is a step in the right direction.
The customer paid not only for the product but also for the service of having that product delivered to them. Asking them to restrict their review to only one aspect of what they paid for does not seem reasonable.
Biochemist here, this is correct. This falls under "bioinformatics" or "computational biology". Most biochemists are more focused on the "wet lab" part of the job, and less on the in silico fun stuff.

No, it doesn't. The crypto markets have plenty of rivals to coinbase that are purely software contraptions with no entity incorporated around them. the distinction is that there are securities tokens exchanges, they're empty due to the aforementioned problems. T-Zero, Patrick Byrne, Overstock. There is nothing to prove. You projecting on their customers offering nothing to Coinbase except a "huh, how about that" is not worth doing. Shareholders won't care, customers won't care, nobody will use.

Obviously if you magically had such a secure bank vault and the analysis is limited to only that singular aspect one could make an objective claim that it fulfills certain objective, quantitative requirements which could make it a useful component of an overall security architecture. However, in terms of the entire system, human failings are process/system failings. If there is a process which would routinely drop a pair of keys to the world's most cryptographically secure bank vault then the whole system is, in fact, still terrible despite some of the components being competently done. In fact, if this were to actually occur, I would say the process is beyond amateurish as it somehow created an insecure system out of such an amazing component.

Even if we restrict ourselves to only consider the magic bank vault, it is still unreasonable to completely ignore everything else. It is a common problem for systems to be so hard to use or configure that it is nearly impossible to effectively use them. It would be like the magic bank vault requiring you to leave the keys unprotected on the ground at which point it would be unreasonable to claim the magic bank vault is a secure component since it can only be effectively integrated in an insecure fashion. Any claim that it was, in fact, integrated securely would need to positively demonstrate this fact against the common expectation of insecure integration.

Frankly, this is also getting very unrealistic. If any company had a system with even 10x that number of critical, trivial flaws I would be amazed. From my experience there are hundreds to thousands of such flaws which run through components at every level of design. Any system with hundreds of stupid flaws across hundreds of different components each of which can cause critical compromise is so poorly designed as to be anti-redundant and also hopelessly insecure. It is not even worth it to quibble over factors of 10 as by my reckoning these systems must improve by a factor of 1,000 to pose any real obstacle to a dedicated state actor unless somebody can actually point to a system that can withstand a $10M open prize with meaningful verifiable evidence for that claim.
Or pretty much anyone who puts up pictures of a certain Prophet.
It could be incredibly expensive to clean up.

Remediation and recovery for most threats involves OS/app reinstallation, perhaps restoring from backups and images. However, if your threat is a sophisticated state actor based out of Russia, it's hard to rule out that they're got hooks in your server's firmware, that they've corrupted your backups as well, etc, etc.

One wonders how Russia could exploit the systems they've penetrated. Brick every gov't system on Jan 20th? Shut down SCADA systems? It's a cybersecurity nightmare.
I think you are taking an overly rigid view of what a game can be. Games exist in an environment and social context. Competitively playing street fighter online is one context, and the way you are suggesting play should happen is probably correct given the established norms of that community. Playing Smash Bros with my kids though? A complaint that I'm simply "winning too much" is absolutely valid. If my kids never beat me, they won't want to play anymore. They can go ahead and change rules to make it easier to win.

What's more, changing a rule can make a game fundamentally different experience that appeals to a new audience. Simple rules (no sniper in counter strike for example) lead to a different game that a subset of the addressable audience finds more enjoyable.

I'll finish with taking a quibble with the statement that "winning is not meant to be equally divided among players." That is true to a degree, but it also should not be overly concentrated among just a few. It is not fun to be consistently dominated and a game where a feeling of success or enjoyment is only accessible to a select few is unlikely to attract much of an audience.
Their purge was a broad-brush panic reaction to a smear piece that ran in an issue of the New York Times earlier this month. I'm sure a lot of perfectly fine content got deleted
It's really complicated and I don't want to go into too much detail, but no, a market maker isn't "connecting" limit orders. A market maker is a market participant, just like me or you (well, sort of). They buy things and sell things, they don't have magical powers.

People get confused, but most hft firms utilize market making strategies. A market maker is just someone who puts limit orders on the book (making) vs taking liquidity off of the book (takeout). Anyone can be a market maker, and many firms do both market making and taking.

We certainly have a long way before the model can approach human quality.

The fluting issue from the pillars, for instance, presents a dilemma since the model is trained to consider these subtle textures as noise.

1. The students calling it a “gap year” may be a psychological technique to reinforce to themselves that it is just a “gap”. They are asserting to themselves and their support group that they will return.

2. She’s asserting without supporting data that families will “get used to the money”. (because lower class families are just like that?) and put psychological pressure on the student not to return to school. Might be reasonable...might not. Where’s the data? NPR would want that before they broadcast it. Also sounds a bit classist.

I can believe there is objective data that the longer a prospective student stays away from “the system”, the less likely they will return. Whether this is good or bad for the prospective student, short term and long term, is the relevant question. Presuming academic higher education always a good thing could be seen as siding with Higher Ed as just another industry. NPR isn’t in the business of supporting one particular subsector of the economy.

Opening the can of worms of academic higher education as a universal good, there is the fact that a college degree is on average worth X (find your favorite number online), but it is unclear whether this is a class issue (e.g. the college educated would get their kids slotted into a better life, college or no). NPR might not have wanted to get into that discussion, again classist.

Getting an education is still the way to go, or at least the way to bet. What kind of education (vocational v. academic v. on-the-job/Executive MBA/certification) and how that education is obtained in 2020 and beyond (remote, on-campus, autodidactic, live v. recorded) are open questions into which NPR wouldn’t have wanted to get entangled. NPR is nominally serving the entire US population, not just the academic college-educated.

Just my take.

As for Ars, they used to have a journo that would publish 10+ page reviews of the latest Mac OS release, and the dude had an extensive knowledge of Apple and Apple products. In a past life I was a journo for one of their competitors for a few years and my EIC was always pointing to Ars as our rival and competitor to take inspiration from. When our publication went downhill I turned to Ars to get the reporting that I wanted, and it feels like that well dried up a few years ago.

"It's a little vexing that the state of PC gaming is so dependent on the release of new consoles, though"

Also, there are lots of folks like me, who play only occasionally and therefore not needing to spend so much for a state of the art gaming PC, and get by with their 5+years old one.

But yes, if the high end PC gamer hardware would be standard ... that would allow for some serious graphical (and other) improvements.

I am finally back into game developement (as a side project) - and I am surprised again, how much hardware constraints limit game developement, too. Many things I want to do, are just not possible on the average machine (but thats the bonus from developing on average hardware, you find out about that early on).

I still dream of a voxel sandbox gameengine with integrated chemistry and physics. There are quite some projects promised that years ago, but apparently it is not yet possible with todays hardware. Maybe soon?

What is the specific unsafe condition are you worried about? I don’t know everything but I did evaluate consumer tech for Underwriters Laboratories to IEC 60950 and 62358. I think your caution is commendable but nothing you’ve described is inherently wrong. USB is just a connector. When the product said it needs 5w (I assume you mean 1A @ 4.8-5.1Vdc) by itself means nothing without more information.

One really obvious point, did the instructions say it’s a) dangerous with a power supply that can’t provide 1A or b) not/less functional without the 1a supply? If they were not specific, I’m happy to easy your mind - it was the latter.

FWIW, I hate this about the couple of apps I use that do this (with no other option, e.g. Notion added a password option).
