Exactly - it's definitely not racism. I do experience "chinese restaurant syndrome" (maybe the name is prejudiced???) when I get dim sum in the UK, US, Canada, sometimes Singapore but rarely in Hong Kong. Stuff like 豉汁蒸排骨 and 糯米鸡can be the worst. Generally, I dislike cantonese restaurant food outside of China/HK and that's really not racist given I have cantonese origins. I experience "Chinese restaurant syndrome" less when I consume "mainland" chinese food - like Sichuan, Hunan, Xinjiang, Shanxi food.

Who knows whether it's MSG - I definitely don't experience that lethargy eating Japanese food. But I'm also unconvinced that MSG and konbu/katsuo dashi are the same thing. The viewpoint "chemical x is chemical x in all its delivery mechanisms" is remarkably naive. The chemistry of digestion is really quite complex and the purified salt of something rather than in-aqua extraction to direct consumption REALLY is not the same thing. You ignore all kinds of subtle interactions that could be going on and is wholly unnuanced. Anyone who has spent any time in a chem/biochem lab knows all too well the strange and weird world of solvation and impurity and its effects on reactions, not to mention enzyme chemistry is insanely sensitive.

It's not the same but just compare smooth vs pulpy orange juice vs eating a raw orange. The nutrition profiles of that already are different even if you are par for #oranges consumed.
Khashoggi wasn't American. And imo, he was an idiot - never sought asylum, constantly criticized the Saudi regime, and in the end got diced because he decided it would be spiffy to go to the embassy of the very regime he attacked to get a marriage document or something. That was hubris at play, thinking that he was highly placed enough to not be killed.

I'm not going to go into details - they are long, torturous and (of course) occurred very early in the morning - as they always did.

But, rsync.net used to run - exclusively - on UFS2 and, circa 2009/2010 we were pushing UFS2 to the very limits in terms of disk size, number of inodes per filesystem, size of memory used to fsck, etc.[1]

Several times we came very, very close to destroying a filesystem and losing customer data.

What made all the difference, every time, was:

- don't panic

- postulate what is happening

- do something non destructive that will prove or disprove the theory

- possibly repeat

Go slow and don't take any steps until you have proven that you understand the problem.

ALSO, when working with filesystems remember that you can run a filesystem, non-destructively, in read-only mode. There are a lot of investigations that can be done on a filesystem in either explicitly read-only mode or with tools (like fsck) set to run no-write, or non-destructive.

Your first steps should always be read-only ...

[1] I asked Kirk M., in 2010, what the long term solution to our problems with UFS was and he said "migrate to ZFS".

If America wanted NSO to avoid dealing with particular countries, all it would take is a single phonecall to the Israeli government. It can do that, because one country is a superpower and a different country is the client.

I suspect the reason that does not happen is because NSO does the US's dirty work for it, otherwise the US would have stopped it already. After all, the US directly supports those same governments NSO works with. It's probably not too upset its dependents are getting support from a different actor.
If you were going to say they seem like a scientist, it would have been better to go with "I'm guessing you're a scientist or in a science field?"

A similar kind of way of speaking would be something like "I'm guessing you never went to college". This would be similar to calling someone an idiot. Or "you program like someone that's never taken a class in it".

These are difficult to take positively because nearly every connotation implies that they're somehow lacking something.

Rather than speaking about how someone is lacking, it's wiser to speak about how what they're doing is a positive.

"You didn't go to college, did you?" is negative; but, "Are you self-taught?" is a positive.

Self-taught implies a sort of stick-to-it-iveness and discipline, where as not going to college, again, implies a failing on that person.

Does this make sense?
I'm by no means the average customer, which is why I have a Pro model, but every time I setup at the desk I use three ports: one for a dongle to my keyboard and trackball, one for the monitor, and one to charge.

I could in fact run the charging through the dongle as well, but then I'd be SOL when I plugged in a hard drive, which I do at least weekly.

I think the two ports but on one side is an aesthetic disaster, but it does have one upside: there are 'mega-dongles' which plug into one half of a MacBook, and those work with both the 2 port and the 4 port models.
It's a smaller inconvenience than one more key on my keyring, so a handful of them wouldn't be a big problem.

You may have a point, but I think DPI and malware targeting journalists is not quite in the same ballpark.
Sadly yes, it's become a very fashion-driven industry.

Much of it is driven by the near-complete lack of historical knowledge of the field. I advocate that a computer science or software eng curriculum strongly needs a semester or two of the history of the practice. What roads have been taken in the most important areas and examine all the dead ends and why they were abandoned.

So much of the new-shiny is just a badly implemented rehash of ideas that we already know didn't work out in the past, if we only knew. Because we mostly don't, as an industry, it seems like an exciting new idea.

I have noticed that for some reason, simple melodies play a bigger part of Japanese daily interactive life, especially to do with transport and retail settings. Search for a story about how every JR station in Tokyo has its own special theme melody for when the train doors close?

Also, side story, I remember there was some road in Nevada or maybe near Sacramento (?) where GM (?) sponsored a melody road with the lines cut in the pavement. The song was the Lone Ranger (William Tell). However, maybe it was just me being a stickler, but I felt it was horribly out of tune when I heard the video. I think they got the spacing of the lines wrong.
I've wondered that before as well.

Sorry, I think you are making this up because it sounds like you've never actually used Uber before.

> Uber/Lyft I usually had to give the full address and then wait while they typed it in

With Uber and Lyft, YOU have to type in the address in the app before the car even gets summoned. You also get to see the destination so that there is no mistake. So I don't know why on Earth you would think you have to wait for them to type it in. You can't just hail an Uber and tell them where you want to go once you get in. That's simply not how it works.
I'm not that familiar with the relevant systems, but this was before plug-and-play was a thing, and moving drives around wasn't a minor operation. Mario mentions a similar option in the article: "Another solution might be to borrow a disk from another VAX, boot off that, and tidy up later, but that would have entailed calling the DEC engineer out, at the very least. "
Are we talking about moral relativism, or whether actual truth is subjective? Morals are personal/cultural values, I can't imagine equating them to "actual truth".

As a pure means of communication the LANL preprint server, which later became arxiv, made the journals in its core areas of theoretical physics obsolete basically overnight, so vastly superior was it in terms of speed of distribution and ease of access.

To me it’s one of the high points of the web and Paul Ginsparg is an absolute hero for setting it up; he reviews some of its history at https://arxiv.org/abs/1108.2700.

I think it’s an interesting social question why other fields have taken so much longer to adopt the arxiv model.
I think you're missing a very common power-user workflow which is: browser + terminal.

For many people, all serious work happens in a near-zero resource application (the terminal) and the MBA is, of course, just fine for that.
Just that iterators is the API that C++ settled on for doing this in a generic way (well concepts in C++20, but I haven't learned that yet).

It's totally 100% kosher to write a function that calls `.at()` instead of `operator+=`. As long as it only needs to work on vectors, strings, or other stuff with a `.at()` method.

But if the function works on iterators instead it can work on ANY data structure that also fulfills the requirements of RandomAccessIterator API. String Views, raw pointers, a 3rd party Cord library, etc.

There's no inherent meaning to the iterator API requiring `operator+=` instead of something closer to `get()`, except that it means that the iterator itself doesn't need to know anything about container bounds (like I said above, raw pointers work as RandomAccessIterators).
I do want to discuss and get back to you, but i understand if you're scared to share an email address here because you're afraid to be known as someone who says something against China.

I’d be surprised if many sets are premixed, but many are preplanned (as in, the DJ knows which songs he/she will play, in what order, and how many bars out/in to start the fade).

Of course, that’s still pretty boring to watch, which is why there’s a lot of fake knob twists and styling going on.

I consume a lot of Youtube DJ sets but it’s all just playing in the background, I never watch the video.

I’m pretty sure you hit the nail on the head with your last point. We all saw it when avoiding gluten became a fad. Very few people had the need to avoid gluten, but enough for it to be added to some packaging. That steamrolled in to people thinking that gluten was somehow bad for them, regardless of the fact that if they had celiac disease they would have known about it.

My friend and I had a competition to point out the most ridiculous gluten free indicated packaging. I won with sand.

There were certainly other factors in play (and in this case, nobody needs to avoid msg) but once you sees the thought in people’s mind that something should be avoided, they’ll come up with all sorts of reasons on their own.
It's strange to say that, when Apple is literally the only tech company that audits (including random audits) their manufacturers factories for working conditions and labor code violations.
When you say "I like the wine I'm drinking", your neural patterns are firing in a way that makes you want to output that text. Anything more than that is a presumption. You may think "well, I actually like this wine!" but I think that's largely programmed - we even have a phrase for this, "acquired taste".

You don't think tastes can be programmed purely textually? Advertising seems to suggest otherwise.

The problem with GPT[n] as an AGI is that (as I understand it) it doesn't have a continuous retraining process the same way that human brains do. Neurons aren't being repotentiated with each interaction, so there's no short-term memory. But that seems a technical point; it's not hard to imagine this as a feature of GPT50.
Loved my 11" MBA. I needed more RAM and I could switch to any laptop I wanted for free, so I got a used MB 12" because it's the only Apple laptop with a similar form factor.
I remember fork-bombing a production server - the sheer panic as process table entries keep getting used up and commands getting slower and slower by second is unforgettable (which is probably why I'm super cautious about anything to do with Production now).
We have an interal bug bounty program! But it's more of a retainer when you think about it. We basically transfer a six figure dollar amount, in 12 monthly installments, to our developers. Then in return when they find a bug they bring it to attention and fix it. It works pretty well!!

The basic differentiator is that a locking algorithm or locking code has the potential to execute but not making progress. Lock-free code is always guaranteed to make progress if it runs.

The queue implementation that blocks on an empty queue is fine if inserting into the queue is still lock-free, ie, your insert operation eventually completes or makes progress regardless of if a reader is spinning on the lock that allows you to pop a value from the queue.

That means, while the popping of a value is locking, inserting is not. Hence the mutex locking the read does not turn the queue into a locking algorithm.
> Is anyone aware of any (FOSS) software (presumably intrusion detectors or indicators of compromise) for mobile phones that might help flag or even prevent such attacks?

Assuming such applications existed, how would you install them on the "suspect" iPhone?

Assuming you were able to install such applications, you'd still not have any access to or control over the baseband (which I strongly suspect has plenty of issues of its own).

Assuming the malicious software avoided using Wi-Fi and used only the the cellular data connection for command and control, exfiltration, etc., it'd be damn near impossible to monitor the ("plain-text") data being sent and received (assuming such software would make use of private certificates -- or asymmetric encryption, in general -- to avoid being MITM'd itself, which seems like a reasonable assumption).

--

EDIT: This got me thinking, "what would be the most secure way to keep and use a mobile phone?" (assuming one could not simply avoid doing so).

My first thought is to use a mobile phone with the baseband radio(s) (verifiably) disabled/removed (if that is even possible?) or -- even better -- a Wi-Fi only device (similar in function as the old iPod Touch, for example) on which one used only SIP applications for calling (ideally via an "internal PBX" shared by all of one's correspondents) along with one's preferred E2E-encrypted messaging applications (e.g., Matrix, Signal, WhatsApp, etc.), all of which are used (importantly!) exclusively over an always-on VPN connection.

In instances where Wi-Fi was unavailable and/or one had no other options, a "mobile hotspot" or another ("real") mobile phone acting as one could potentially be used.

I'm interested in hearing thoughts on this idea (including any reasons why this is a bad idea that didn't occur to me during my two minute thought experiment), any other similar ideas that others have had, or any actual practices that are actually being used.

> However, for reasons other than functionality or user-experience, Apple continues to fiddle and fuddle and muck around with laptops - making them weird and unwieldy in the best case, and totally unusable in the worst cases. In the case of USB ports exclusively on one side of the laptop, the only response can be merciless ridicule.

Those reasons are marketing and profit-seeking. Modern society has this false assumption that new = "improved." So even if Apple perfected the laptop form factor, the next model will be regression that's marketed as an improvement and believed to be one by undiscerning users. If they didn't do that, customers wouldn't buy it because it would be an old = "unimproved" design.

Though, a confounding factor here is there's a lot of personal preference with something like a laptop, so there's probably no one "objectively best" design. So some fraction of regressions are just catering to a different preference set.

The cause of the headaches is the G in MSG, the glutamate. It's an excitotoxin. Common discourse deflects the true cause and points to the S, Sodium.
