Let me guess, two-party system? It tends to polarise people into an us-vs them mentality.

In actual democracies with a half-dozen actual viable options or more, we don't tend to get that heated with politics in general.
No, it's not close to being solved. I made a new estimate recently at there are about 8.7E+45 unique positions: https://github.com/lechmazur/ChessCounter. You don't need to analyze all of them to generate the proof but it's still far beyond our computational and storage capacities to solve chess.

You can write "baby boomer" or "people over 55" or similar to avoid using a pejorative term.
You sign up for github, hackernews etc too.

It's a little bit of extra work, which is in your build scripts anyway. And it protects against some attacks.

To me it just sounds like bitching against Apple.. some old, same old
Your graph of interests merges with "people who watch vtubers" too strongly, so the recommendation engine keeps pushing that stuff to you.
Hah. I’m with you. Even used to do the same thing on IRC years ago.

I’m firmly of the opinion we (general collectively) of the mainstream have bent far enough back and tried too hard to accommodate the ignorant for too long. No time for that shit anymore.

Oh and I’m hell when I host an Among Us game. If the randos don’t catch on quick, boot put the hatch!
What would the giants do? Did Galileo Galilei know that Saturn had rings when he first looked through his telescope? Did Isaac Newton understand the laws of gravity when the apple felt on his head? Did Robert Hooke know all the micro-organisms when he first looked through the microscope?

> or

I wonder if this dichotomy is correct. These two (instinct and smarts) conceivably overlap to a high degree: A snake must be able to figure out the best strategy among a multitude of different options in any given second, some of which could be highly hardwired, some of which surely are not. And figuring out how to tie itself round a pole might not need all that much computing.

I don't see a reason that a snake should be completely different than humans in this regard. We are at the same time both hardwired and make informed, smart choices, not one or the other.

We're not talking about people who have a thousand books from all genres and walks of life having Mein Kampf in there.
yeah but the challenge that's being referred to (I think) is that having an unauditable supply chain on a security distribution is, in itself a security risk.

You've got to imagine that Kali linux is a very tempting target for supply chain attacks, if you can compromise a load of security testers, you might get access to all sorts of information....

"Man up" is great advice, but it's from an era where socialized interaction happened mostly in person. In those times, the consequence of insults was almost always physical violence, sometimes to the death in a formally arranged way.

Perhaps somebody needs to invent that device that allows us to punch people over the internet.
This. Manufacturers often don't provide spare parts to the users directly. Sony was not even able to sell a genuine smartphone battery to me. Apple Independent Repair program is a joke as you must be a company and go through their gatekeeper terms and selection process...
People will exploit and abuse you, knowingly or unknowingly. The amount of idiots and assholes will never go to zero. Never. The good news is that there are usually mechanisms to stop them.

1) If people aren't being respectful, block them.

2) If they put little effort into bug reports/feature requests and are not respectful of your free time - close the issue, link to a generic explanation why.

3) If you are not being compensated and the project burns you out: stop doing it.

There is usually nobody else who can or will do these things for you. Grow a spine, have self respect, value your time, learn from the experience.
This appears to be a very typical response from an Apple user who doesn't understand the lengths and hoops developers have to jump through to work around Apple's many, many restrictions, bugs and limitations.

In my day job, our Apple developers have spent years finding solutions to iOS restrictions around CallKit, Push Notifications and NSTodaysProblem, and those are just the things Apple has intentionally restricted, once you get into the bugs and poor documentation for some APIs it's another story.

If our users knew the half of what our Apple Developers have to do, the meetings, discussions, concessions and re-design that has to be done to make things just work, even on par with the Android equivalent, they might be a little bit more understanding.

WireGuard has been excellent, and as a Linux user, I haven't needed an app, I have a couple of aliases in my shell to start and stop my tunnels. I've used WireGuard daily for work since lockdown and I used it daily for personal use, while commuting to work before lockdown. In all of that time, I've never had a single issue due to WireGuard (and there isn't even a Linux app to be seen). The expectation is often different between Linux and Apple users though.

When I was setting up for the first time, Jason even found time to help me himself on the IRC channel, something I've never expected, and for which I am eternally grateful.

I made a donation to WireGuard last year, I'll be doing the same this year and I encourage others to "put their money where their mouth is" and show a little support for the people making and sharing this software for free. I expect an Apple user can afford a small cut of their or their employer's money to do so.
>Falun Gong is a notorious cult

Regardless of whether this is true or not, I fail to see how it in any way justifies the level of persecution (extrajudicial imprisonment, torture, killing, organ harvesting etc.) endured by the group:

Not just America, it's like that here in the UK, albeit not quite to the same extent, as far as I can tell. I get the impression that this is quite common, at least in other western democracies.

For all its faults, systemd was a major step forward for a system to "just work".
The more I look at the number of languages that came out of India and sanskrit origins, makes me think they had much more time to develop so many variations. It makes me questions why is this so.
> If someone manages to install and enable that on a target's phone, then it renders Signal and all other secure apps useless.

So does installing a compromised USB keyboard or a broken Logitech receiver. Why is that Signal's problem?
> it's automatically the right tradeoff for everyone

That can be only true if there is no tradeoff. A tradeoff by definition is a situation where the optimum depends on individual preferences.
That also doesn't contribute.
This looks really cool. The thing that makes me sad is that there are way too many resources on stuff like React and python and not much material on stuff like webgl. I wanna learn webgl!! Where do i go
>Plus you can't take these videos in isolation without considering that they were taken by trained observers using military grade sensor equipment. Not some random yokel in 1975 with an instamatic camera.

In one of the events 4 trained observers, at the same time, backed up by a one of the most advanced radar systems in the US Navy (at the time), and later on the same day by another 2 trained observers that captured one of the videos.
Some of those terrible databases are Redshift, SQLite, Elasticsearch. Redshift does not enforce unique constraint, SQLite does not have datetime.

Sure a trigger can be used. But they can also be disabled. So you end up verifying all data has been inserted using the trigger anyway.
It would also be grossly misleading and would put responsibility on Signal for components they have no business dealing with.

Non-technical people would just read "Signal isn't secure" which is BS.

iMessage isn't insecure either because you can connect a compromised USB keyboard to your Mac.

> It seems that the strategy is to use the neural network to score various moves and then a search strategy to try to find moves that result in a favourable score

The neural net is only for scoring positions, not moves. Check the article on Stockfish NNUE at the chess programming wiki: https://www.chessprogramming.org/Stockfish_NNUE

There is a LOT of cleverness built into the stockfish search as well.

In fact, while neural networks have now won the position evolution game, it is still an open discussion in the chess programming community if the Alpha Zero / Leela search (NN + Monte Carlo) is as good as Stockfish's PVS.
There is a big difference here. The draft is about adding generics to the Go stdlib, not about if it's possible. Is it even possible? Yeah, there are some implementation (e.g. https://github.com/cheekybits/genny). So Go is not "far behind" C, which also does not have generics (or did I miss something in C11/C17?).
Agree no one is going to downgrade but there is another strategy - always build your app against package versions that is in Debian stable. Of-course it can be problematic but have some advantages: well tested, any bugs probably have documented workaround.
Yeah, I don't understand that. Is it because of the carriers or Qualcomm? I mean, there's plenty of Snapdragon powered phones that have unlocked bootloaders.
Live Stream Video Analysis with Computer Vision: Use in Business
Does not really apply to radar operators and F16 pilots all having the same "mass hysteria" the same day...
I would happily recommend you to read "Hallucinations" by Oliver Sacks. This book is not about UFO sightings, but about how ordinary people can have wild hallucinations. For example, an elderly woman who would regularly have very vivid, daytime, hallucinations of a concert being played in her living room. She knew it was not "real", but it was comforting and a welcoming distraction from the isolation that elderly folk often suffer from. It is quite an eye-opening book.
I second that. Once a vendor becomes important enough I even stop thinking of it as a vendor and rather as a partner that you interact with as if it was part of your own organisation. I am not amused when members of my team are rude to a vendor and jeopardise a relationship that took a long time to build. Even when you pay six figures a month, you can still get preferential treatment compared to other customers in the same tier when it comes to influence over the roadmap if you actively foster the relationship.
> Now that storage is infinite and cheap, it's become trendy for engineers to never actually remove anything, but to just set a "deleted" flag in a database somewhere. This makes a lot of tricky things easier, but there are pitfalls.

Also deleting stuff for real for real immediately is really hard.

You need to delete it from the database, the one that's replicating to, caches, online backups AND offline backups. And that's after you've confirmed and reconfirmed from the user that they actually want to delete the data, not just store it in the recycle bin or something idiotic like that.

The easiest way is just to flag as deleted and prune on some kind of schedule. Backups will be overwritten at some point and the data will go away eventually.
I edited my comment after I posted it as I knew I didn't express myself properly, but I must have screwed it up. And now I don't really remember what I meant to say.

To me the end result of this shifting landscape is something which has the attributes of Matrix. Matrix may have issues, but it's architecture and implementation is very resistant to bad actors.

You can fork the server code and the server instances of matrix servers and have it work with existing servers and clients. Without this capability it is a matter of time until bad actors kill it and everyone moves to the next thing. The problem is that "trust" is not enough.

You trusting Signal operators more than Whatsapp operators does not fix the problem that we cannot run these services on trust.

>For another, the mutilations were described as chirugically precice. Sometimes just a large part (and including it) around the rectum.

If some being, human or animal, gets killed and mutilations around the genitals or rectum occur, chances are high it's not some night-time military operation but sexually motivated.
Just curious...what is your prediction for the much talked about country-wide "event" coming in 3-4 days? I mean, the same people who were "chattering" about the 6th have said in no uncertain terms that they WILL once again stage an armed protest (good luck to that) starting on the 16th and culminating on the 17th at the capitol and the capitols of each and every state. With the threat of violence not just between the lines, but as an explicit threat to anyone who doesn't agree with their agenda and has the temerity to fight back. It's full-on terrorist level manifesto stuff.

Should we hope the clock is still broken? Because I for one, am going to be watching from a safe distance away (not in person) and fearing for the lives of many people and our democracy on that day.

This thread is getting confusing.

Your original point was that for binary compatibility you write against the C ABI. I'm claiming that the C ABI has exactly the same fragile layout limitations and you can use the exact same workarounds in C++ (i.e. only expose pointers or make sure that your layout doesn't change).

I'm also claiming that templates are a red herring and have very little to do with ABI.
The worst part is that FB is a really shitty platform for any kind of group.

There's no way to collect all discussion of, say, a new product the company the group is about released. You'll get dozens of threads of the same thing for weeks and weeks without any way of directing everyone to the same one.

You can pin posts with instructions - no one sees that shit, because no one actually visits the groups "front page" after they've joined.
The problem is that, its not very easy to have 10s ( or 100+) usernames and passwords in memory ( or manage them on a password manager), track if any of them are leaked etc.

From usability perspective this is better. The question is trust and security.

Good question, we should put these in readme:

1. Unlinked file remain accessible, when it's unlink from same machine.
2. mmap is supported.
3. atomic rename is supported.
4. Is there atomic append in POSIX?
5. range lock is supported.
6. the consistency mode is open-after-close, which means once a file is closed, you can open and read the latest data.
This comes somewhat recently after several Chinese apps were banned and calls for using more local/national alternatives. TikTok is gone, so now India has Moj.

WhatsApp has big market share but as a foreign company asking users to accept a less private policy, people are understandably going to seek alternatives, and potentially even build them.

WhatsApps big hope in India is payments processing but recent government policy changes allow payment payment processors a max of 30% of total payment volumes per app (https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/npci-imposes-cap-on-...) which probably makes the prospect less exciting, and with users beginning to seek greener pastures for messaging apps, I'm curious what WhatsApp's next play in India will be.
There exist far simpler solutions. A stainless steel strip can be literally found on the street, and epoxied to the laptop case on one side and to a hard drive magnet on the other. Then any metal attached to the back of the phone - commonly sold for holding the phone in cars - can hold the phone to the magnet.

They have a captive audience of just about everyone. They can put things in the WhatsApp client and everyone will see it.

Almost everyone has WhatsApp, much more people than have Facebook. And Facebook is slowly dying.

Facebook bought WhatsApp (and also Instagram) so Facebook the company has a future. Because it’s not quite sure Facebook the network has one.
Often, Y has access to X either way, because Y is where the password reset email goes.
That's weird, my company has the opposite policy. Nothing can be deleted. Employees can delete emails on their side, but the server keeps a copy of every email indefinitely in a "vault". That's for legal purposes apparently.

That's weird, because all the places I've traveled (in both US and EU) have had a clear rise in average temperature in the last 3 decades.

"This neural engine is a trick so that Stockfish does not have to simulate all 40 moves every game states."

This optimization always done by chess engines, it's called pruning (they'd be quite crippled without it).

If you can’t be bothered to copy a few version numbers when trying to get free support, kindly “use other software”. People providing free support usually don’t give a damn about your “taking your business elsewhere”.

Moreover,

- People omit things they think are irrelevant, when they are.

- I print all the relevant details when --debug is on, so people just need to copy that. Some people refuse to run that and insist on submitting “does not work”.
There is a due process if the creator of whatever was complained about decides to do something about it.
