Same boat, but my iMac is from late 2019 (bought in November, IIRC). And even then it was looking likely (but not as "for sure" as August 2020) that something was in the works. But my 2012 MBP was looking long in the tooth, and like you I'm willing to wait a year or two for the bugs to shake out. And despite the M1 having been subsequently released, the iMac is still a good machine. :)

By the time this machine gets released (if ever; remember, this is "Chinese are in your firmware!" Bloomberg) and gets some reviews, I'll be ready for a new machine.
Thing like JSON, make HTTP request all require external lib in Lua. It makes thing harder for first time user. I think at least JSON or HTTP client lib should be included?

One of my use case is use Lua as an OAuth proxy, run inside Nginx, or use Lua as a S3 Proxy(with sign signature etc) and dealing with XML/JSON/HTTP Request is hard in Lua.

When I installed an external lua rocks, for it to be embeded inside Nginx, I have to make sure lua lib path are sync between luarock/nginx.

I don't know how to solve that problem other than reading the document. But explains all of them to a new comer to Lua/Nginx is hard. It takes a lot of time until they can write code.

There are explicit contracts for such things (based on TIPS, so it's not some small shady market). Inflation expectations are still low, though materially higher than even in May:

In particular they do not go outside of the 3.0% range where we've been stuck for decades (the US CPI itself hasn't printed anything above 2.5% year-over-year since the 90s).

Inflation will come one day (one year? one decade?), but sure as hell isn't here yet.

My 2 cents: we are living in a certain time when where you live is not as relevant as what you do. IMHO, if you work in areas of high demand and few available professionals (such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, machine-human interface, etc) you will be a desirable asset and will probably be in the position of choosing what offer is the best one for you. Recruiters are going crazy on Linkedin right now and before you ask they let you know that you can work remotely with very competitive salaries. So as an attempt to answer your question as of how to increase SWE salaries in Europe (as in any other place in the world really) is to consider making a move towards some hot career paths related to areas such as the ones I cited (not restricted to those obviously). I am a firm believer of this type of initiative. It might take time and be very challenging (and it will) but it definitely pays off.

There is a lot of shoddy medical research. Particularly when it comes to supplements, food intake, etc. You have to realize that there are a lot of vested interests.

Google.com returns an ip of your favored in country search engine - most likely people get a https error when trying to go there, but those that ignore the error find search works for allowed things and the rest learn to use the favored search engine.

I think it is acceptable, in this day and age, for people to expect instant messaging apps that are gratis and "just work". Technology and society should be at a state where - assuming you have network connectivity at all - that should be the case.

At the same time, I agree that there is practically criminal negligence of the education of people about what makes those techno-social institutions which "just work", work:

* Commercial interests and the role and nature of large corporations in tech and elsewhere;

* The massive amount of hard work, expertise, and good will invested by people in public-benefit work (which could be writing FOSS or volunteering in retiree caregiving etc.)

* What the machinery of government - and its myriad branches and institutions - does, beyond the political horse race shown on the evening news;

and through that, the realization that free lunches get made by someone, and its very important who and how they get made.

If I give you a gift, it is income and you owe taxes on it. If I give you a loan, it is not income and no taxes are owed. But tax man will expect you to pay it off! If I forgive you a loan, that is also taxable income, in the amount that you have not yet paid off, so no loophole there.

I think there may be an element of survivorship bias at play. There's kind of a 2x2 you can draw where people can be publicly/privately kind/abusive. People who are kind all the time (or at least, not abusive all the time) are unremarkable, I'm not sure there are many people who are publicly abusive and privately kind, and people who are both publicly and privately abusive are way more likely to end up in prison, or homeless, or otherwise away from people. So that leaves us noticing the strange pattern of people who are publicly kind and privately abusive. It's like, the most remarkable pattern that's actually present for us to remark upon.

There are antioxidants in coffee, which I have read previously are suggested as potentially reducing cancer risk by mopping up oxidative molecules in your body. When it comes to the colon cancer risk reduction, caffeine may have a role by increasing the rate at which food moves through the intestines, basically washing out waste faster that would otherwise interact with the cells in the lining of the colon to cause cancer.

There could be conflict of interest if it’s a gift considering Acton was involved with WhatsApp before Signal was formed.

And a donation would bring him deductions which he probably doesn’t want..

And there is a gift tax but since it’s a non profit, it gets different treatment. But having said that IRS scrutiny increases with such large donations.

Chances high for an IRS audit. Etc.

So many reasons why the loan aspect is a better idea.

This is a mid-length essay revolving around the works, mind and books of Ursula K. LeGuin. If you are interested in Fantasy as a genre, that writer in particular, and "sexual politics and identity" this essay is for you. I wonder why it is on HNews, but heck, here it is. I clicked because I am an amateur Jung scholar, too.

I read Left Hand in Darkness and most of those Earthsea books as a schoolkid when they were new. I like Dungeons and Dragons. I am wide-eyed and run away from the seemingly endless amount of personal effort people put into 'alternate sexual identities' .. similar to a cancer, to me.. an endless and unsolveable and ultimately unresolvable morass, foisted into almost every Wikipedia article and FOSS post these days. Why cant we keep Pandora's Box closed? an intelligent reader might ask.

If this is an interesting essay, then there is one more interesting essay in this world. Super. Why does this website track my mouse movements while I read then? To present an ad at just the right moment, apparently.

As many commentors here have pointed out, 'rage inducing headlines' get more quick views. Similarly to my mind, 'alternate sexual identity' as fundementally unsolveable also would get endless views on the web. I dont care to participate. Choose for yourself.
Naomi analyzes the technical side very well, but somehow face plants on the conclusion.

Insecure IMEs exist everywhere and affect every app. Not just Signal, not just in China.

This is the operating system's job to tackle, not Signal's. And oh wonder: Android displays a scary reminder when you install an IME (of course they could and should disallow network access for IMEs as well).

Signal should show a reminder to help people be secure, but framing this as some kind of obligation towards the people of China is weird.

What computer science can teach us about vaccine distribution
I asked because I've heard more than once that a company either stretched the truth or outright lied on these questionnaires.

So stretching the truth could be:

Do you adhere to NIST?

The truth could be: "well not exactly but that's on our roadmap,we do somethings that are close enough."
That would get a 'YES' check.

Or something like end to end encryption. The answer could be a 'YES' because a company uses front-end TLS and pretends to not completely understand the ask.

In this case it is mostly the business either forcing security to bs or another group (Sales?) filling out the response untruthfully because they are loosing revenue if they're honest.
Right. But one of these is secure and the other isn’t. State action against telegram is eminent.
I would guess they crop up repeatedly because they are cheap to fund. Fewer funders who want to put a bunch of money and time into a long, expensive study that may produce nothing. Instead fund 10 cheap studies that might produce a headline :(
The reason piracy is perceived to be better is agency. With Netflix/whatever, you have zero agency if something you want isn't there, other than signing up for some other streaming service.

Even if it's hard to find something on public trackers with the right dubs/subtitles, it's rarely impossible for popular content. And if the subtitles are bad, you can, for example, download a different lower quality rip and pull the subtitles off that. The point is, in this system the user has control over the data they are consuming. This is infinitely preferable to some people than the chains of DRM.
Server code may not tell you what the server is deployed on.

I just bought my first macbook, a 2015 model. Looking at the charger, the connection with the magsafe connector looks ok (but definitely weaker than regular barrel jacks), but it seems to me that people get the tendency to unplug it by pulling the cable instead of pulling on the connector. Perhaps that's why they deteriorate rapidly?
And if the company had a reasonable scope, with a reasonable headcount, then all those things would be attainable while staying private, without corrupting the product or spreading one's legs to the markets, as it were.

But now, the only thing that's going to work for them in the long run is growth. At all costs. Far beyond whatever is the most appropriate point for what could have been a humble dating site, because the public will demand no less for a return on their investment.
I empathize with your frustration, although I don't think that these opinions are extreme at all.

You know what is frustrating, also? To have a foreign army occupying your country.
You are comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin cuts out middlemen, like banks. The finance industry and banks are much larger energy consumers than the Bitcoin network. Comparing a world with Bitcoin versus a world without Bitcoin is an invalid comparison. If you'd like to compare energy consumption, do an analysis of companies that incorporate Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin versus business models that use traditional banks (and look at the energy consumption of those financial transactions).

What specifically are you saying here? Are you suggesting that every Chinese person's phone is sending off their keyboard inputs to the Chinese government even if they don't use a compromised IME? Because if not, then yes it matters whether or not your IME is compromised. Otherwise your position is just "the phone might be compromised in ways I don't know, so I won't even bother fixing the ways I do know".

Those are good points, however 3d rendering is one domain where it does makes some sense to compare CPU & GPU threads, especially 3d game rendering. You certainly can compare threads between CPUs and GPUs for fp32 performance, if you have a pure compute workload without divergence. I work on OptiX, BTW, so I’m biased there, but there is also a reason why most commercial renderers are steadily moving toward the GPU. I predict it won’t be long before your statement flips and most CG movies are rendered on GPUs.
I have a similar story, a friend of mine had (and still has) a webdev shop and he said he has a slightly autistic programmer who is his best employee and he's a genius, nobody can understand his code.

One day they called me because at 8PM they were still at the office trying to crack a problem. After a short discussion, I suggested to use a (.*) regex to solve it, without seeing the code, that was the best I could do. Another call 30 min later, I suggested the same but on a different level. At the third call I told them that if they need to keep doing that, something is deeply flawed and they should rewrite it. No more calls came :)

I kinda see where this sentiment is coming from and it's really hard to convince people otherwise. People see movies like Rain Man and they see scientists with huge blackboards and they can't understand a thing so it must be a work of a genius.
This article does not mention that scientific measurement with a calibrated measurement microphone can take all of the guesswork out of speaker placement, just like you need a calibrated color measurement puck (and associated color-management software) to guarantee accurate color on computer monitors and printers. A measurement microphone tells you if the 200Hz frequency is too loud or too quiet with respect to the 1000Hz frequency, and so on, just like color management tells you if red #FF0000 is oversaturated or undersaturated with respect to the sRGB or DCI-P3 or whatever color space you are targeting. I bought a UMIK-1 microphone, downloaded the factory .txt calibration file, and used the roomeqwizard.com software to tune my systems. Works great. Human audible sound travels in waves at frequencies in the 16Hz-20KHz range. Those waves bounce around the room and interact to make certain frequencies louder and others quieter ("standing waves"). This room response is especially important below 250-500Hz: search for "Schroeder Frequency" if curious.

lol. okay. This presents the relationship as if it's a linear function without an upper bound or diminishing return, which seems suspect. I doubt that. [1]

More holistically speaking, let's approach this with some skepticism. Did they control for wealth? Is coffee predominantly consumed by people with better access to healthcare and who can afford better medical treatment? A priori, I would believe that is generally the case.

Maybe they should specifically study the relationship between coffee consumption and prostate cancer in relatively lower income populations that still drink a lot of it, like truckers.

1. Though I would believe their analysis technically indicates it, especially if they only did the bare minimum of statistical work and simply tested for a linear relationship...

AIUI, being shot in the gut is a long (it can take hours) and incredibly agonizing way to die. It appears he was not merciful on any substantive relationships, including with himself.
I really wish the EU would put up funds for open source software, like signal, it seems to be something they could get behind for the greater good. My previous job involved creating a graphical programming language for the generation of GPU shaders, which the EU partly funded. I knew it was going nowhere, and it made me slightly sad tax payer money was being used on something I knew, despite my best efforts, would not work.

> USA-based metadata processing

Do you mean that they have servers in the US? US based company? They don't leak metadata, that's the difference between Signal and Telegram/WhatsApp. If the encryption is good it shouldn't matter what country the company or servers is in. That's kinda the point of encryption...
It's written in Java using the Dropwizard framework.

Contrary to popular belief, in the event of nuclear war we wouldn't all suddenly be vaporized. Especially today when the number of nuclear weapons is severely limited and there are credible missile defenses, in a first strike only a few major cities and military installations are going to be targeted. It's more important to hit DC 10 times to make sure some of them actually get through than it is to destroy, for example, Albuquerque. While you might seriously be looking at casualty numbers comparable to the whole of WW2 in a matter of hours, the vast majority of both populations would still be alive and relatively unscathed. If the other side still has their military capabilities while we do not, those survivors would be at their mercy. This is to say nothing of allied nations which may not have been targeted in the nuclear exchange but rely on our military for protection. Nuclear exchange is unfortunately merely the first part of WW3.
Wow, at first I thought "they finally hit their limit with the new signups." but now they've been down for a couple of hours and I'm starting to worry that it might be more severe.
