When are they scheduled to discontinue the APIs that make these more than paperweights?
They're just files. You back them up like any other. Do be sure you backup your private key though, if you lose that you've lost everything. Sounds like that is what happened to you.

Academia is (one would hope) built on a logical, provable process. The material should be peer reviewed. Ideally you can independently reproduce findings in a lab. If not, you should absolutely scrutinize it.

Martin's work is purely anecdotal, delivered with an authoritative tone. I might excuse that from a John Carmack, who built systems that changed an industry. Yet I've found Carmack's writing quite humble.

Thinking of the smartest people I've worked with over my career, none of them used the rhetoric of Martin. But they all made their living building software, not selling books and corporate training.

Yeah, that's awful stuff. Your partners and cohabitants should be grateful that you're somewhat of a canary in a coalmine for them:

Yep, another data extraction tool. Neat but every day we strive closer to Black Mirror.
I liked Facebook much more when I could scroll back far enough and my perfectionist mind would see where I previously left off and I'd feel "caught up". You can still do it, but the content changes a bit every time. Twitter seems a lot worse; you'll never be able to "go back" and find that thing you just saw a minute ago before you closed the app, and it's just infinite.
Eh, some of the use cases are kind of neat - being able to control certain things without taking that device (likely a phone) out of a pocket.
Keepass and all is great. But it doesn't have first class support for anything but passwords.

I'm sure many people will cringe when reading this, but I also save credit cards in my password manager and use it to auto fill when I need it. This unfortunately isn't supported by Keepass et al.

It has templates, which are supported by some implementation but not others. Which also isn't great.

If you're using straight ESM then you don't need any build tool a lot of the time. If I need any 3rd party module it's either include it in global using an ES5 library, or use https://www.skypack.dev/ which has a ESM ready built module of most npm packages that you can import directly in your code.

The feature in question matters. I don't see how you would fit async / the GIL in a beginner course. But if pattern matching is seen as idiomatic for basic code, then it should and will be introduced to beginners.

For instance the switch / case construct is on https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/java/ (interestingly not on https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/c++/ !), implying that it's quite basic there.

Author (https://github.com/Roblox/nomad-driver-containerd) here.

Not really, Podman and containerd are two different technologies, although both allow you to move away from Docker for various reasons (smaller CPU, memory footprint, better security etc). If you are invested into Red Hat container stack, podman makes more sense. However containerd is more universal.

K8s is already moving away from docker, and directly into containerd. Most recently they deprecated dockershim, and users now need to switch to containerd (since docker also uses containerd under the hood, and it doesn't make sense for the orchestration system to run a monolithic service like docker where it just need to launch the workloads)

Some reference links of k8s or PaaS build on top of k8s moving to containerd

This driver is similar to what CRI-containerd is doing in kubernetes (if you are coming from the k8s world)
It's almost satire. I got to "Trucker Jacket" and burst out laughing.
I don't agree, but I know this is a position a reasonable person could hold.

I just don't think autopilot means autonomous driving and I think that's clear to people.

If someone thinks cruise control means you can crawl into the backseat of the car, is that the fault of the car manufacturer?

I also think Germany may have a bias given their own car industry.

What comma.ai is doing I think is categorically different.

I'm okay with people hacking on their own stuff, I just don't like the "This is Alpha don't use it" when they obviously intend you to buy and use it that way.

I agree that's how we should do it, and think we are both making the same critique.
Seems like they originally announced the Jacquard project 6 or so years ago. The idea of weaving electronics into clothing and fashion brands is interesting, but I'm not sure how useful it is. The product looks like it's evolved into a small bluetooth chip that you can slide into either shirt sleeves or backbacks and it will sense touches even through the fabric. It's interesting, but also fairly niche. The example they show of the woman sliding the Jacquard device into the rolled back jean jacket sleeve doesn't seem practical though. It just seems like smart watches are a better match for this use case of answering calls and performing quick tasks.

Note, it says the product can withstand light splashes, but can't withstand a wash in a machine. What that means is that these devices will get fried on a regular basis...since a device that small is easy to forget about as you toss in your laundry.
... so, a watchspring? If so, yes.

> Apple is all about diminishing physical technology

That's an interesting perspective

It's Steve Jobs' perspective. He talked repeatedly about technology disappearing into the background, and one day we would have technology so good that we wouldn't even see it. It would disappear into the walls.

To me, it's the ultimate expression of making computers work for us, not the other way around, which is mostly what we have now.
The question is how you know they're peaceful in advance. Do you just trust them? Often, many of the protesters don't know what's going to happen either. (Some do, and use the crowd as cover.)

It seems like some preparation for security at large events is necessary? But then the security is a target. Sometimes they try to keep a low profile to avoid this.

Extravagancy in Tech
It looks like the sensors/controls are built into the object, with the CPU, battery and radio (the more expensive part) being movable? So, it attaches to the jacket and exposes some controls, it attaches to the backpack and enables some controls. It attaches to the shoe and reads sensors?

I guess that means you don't have to plug in your jacket or your backpack, and helps to amortize the cost across a wardrobe? Maybe it's purely to get the battery close to a wall socket.
You start after you are already 6 years old therefore during your 1st year in school you go and make your 7th birthday. Or at least this is how school works in my country. If you are born after the school starts you are not allowed to school - as technically you're still 5 years old.

Why is this a problem? If customers are sharing footage either voluntarily or in response to a legal request driven by a court order, then I don't think anything wrong is happening. Filming public spaces is totally legal. And those acting illegally outside the bounds of what is allowed under the right to assembly should be brought to justice. There's nothing wrong with that. It's unclear to me why the EFF is even picking this fight.
Interesting. I do look at related videos so it's not about noticing anything... We clearly have different experiences.

The difference I see is that I have an account with subscriptions and years of activity data. I guess the algorithm knows I don't click on that stuff so they stopped trying to show it to me. I'm very surprised to learn they are giving users these recommendations by default.
This is a great point. There's a sadly consistent theme of simply underestimating native peoples throughout history. Polynesians were in contact with south America for centuries before Columbus for example. Their naval technology was capable of reliable navigation over vast distances in the pacific. There's genetic evidence that people went back and forth between SA and Oceania with some regularity, a feat more impressive than crossing the Atlantic, but you almost never hear it talked about.
You're not capturing all of the hypocrites (on both sides) who only care when the bad thing is done by the other team.

He doesn't come off as uninformed. Plenty of philosophers who were well informed have variously proclaimed the death of philosopy or that philosophy is useless or that it has reached the end of its usefulness.

Hume foreclosed on the possibility of metaphysics altogether. Kant disagreed but considered all metaphysics prior to him a failed project. Since Kant we've burrowed into the human mind and into human language. It's not clear that this has borne fruit. It's also not clear that it hasn't. But informed people can disagree.

> Regarding PG's essay, I don't think it is fair to say metaphysics is a failed project. For instance, deeply thinking about whether things can be infinitely divisible led to the concept of the infinitesimal, which led to the discovery of calculus. If any field of math can be said to be useful, calculus surely is. None of our modern IT would exist without it, nor things like rockets, flight, material engineering, etc. Yet calculus is based on the non physical notion of infinite division that Aristotle discussed in his metaphysics.

I think your perspective is perfectly valid (and well-represented). You're saying "even if metaphysics is impossible, the pursuit of metaphysics has proven useful". Fair enough.
I use timers for making tea, cooking and knowing when my car has finished heating up.

It's a joke. Mainstream right-wing socioeconomic theories are falsified by reality more often than mainstream left-wing socioeconomic theories. (Of course, left-wing v.s. right-wing is a bad way to judge a socioeconomic theory; better to check whether it's right.)
Perhaps the US government might fall someday. But in the meantime they still have plenty of resources to imprison you for money laundering, fraud, or tax evasion.

> No. They didn’t own the land. They shared the land (it’s really interesting history).

Thats a distinction without a difference. If you say it was wrong for the settlers to take the land, I ask you why? Either the Aborigines had the right to determine its disposition, or they did not. The right to determine its disposition is ownership rights. Therefore you’re not able to criticize the expropriation of the Aborigines without acknowledging that they held property rights in the land.

> Ownership was a concept introduced in the 1700s.

This is not true, Aborigines have (and had) ownership. When the Europeans got here, the Aborigines had things they owned and territories they excluded other Aborigines from.

> Tools are not capital, as they pre-existed the concept of capital/ownership.

This is nonsense, the concept of capital is the same as the concept of a tool. Means of production.

> This isn’t like a scientific concept that was discovered. This is a human made dichotomy,

Thats correct, ownership is a social construct. Its a social construct that has existed for thousands of years [0] and is not something that you can change unilaterally on the basis of some dogma you prefer.

> there are a myriad of other ways to view the resources and how we consume/share/allocate things.

Yes and you are well within your rights to propose any of those ways, and then other people can choose whether to adopt those ways or not. However taking a different way and forcing it on people is not the way to go, as it amounts to you claiming the right to dispose of other people’s property. Furthermore just because you can posit a concept does not make that concept logical, sensical, or coherent; and you should be prepared to justify your proposition.

> Yes you can put everything in terms of capital (which is what you’re attempting) but there is nothing “more valid” about your concept than any other competing concept. These aren’t laws of physics.

The validity is the correspondence between concept and real world behavior. Tools are capital because they are literally capital according to the basic definition of the word and we have no reason to say otherwise.

Agreed. Lately I've been asking Siri how to spell words (not that I'm worse recently, I just found it that worked). Much easier than the alternative.
It's a fair question. Is DeepMind famous for its amazingly smart toys because it's useful similarly-smart stuff is secret? Or public but boring? Or doesn't exist?

I saw blessed, thank you, but the last commit was in 2016, and I'm a bit wary of a JS library with that level of activity.
Place your bets: when will Google kill this project?
I think I can count on one hand the number of right-to-be-forgotten requests the team I work with has ever received in the last three years (with 15x the users). We've had a couple more subject access requests than that, but we'd already shipped pretty comprehensive self-service tools for retrieving data that met the vast majority of our user's needs. This doesn't seem like an unreasonable thing to expect a service to offer, IMO.

I would argue that the duties of a DPO is not more work than a small company could handle and indeed, it's slightly odd to me that a small company would think that a small handful of data erasure requests or subject access requests are a) somehow difficult to do given 30 days notice and b) somehow consume more time than the profit left over on $24k revenue buys?

Most companies here in the UK just take it in their stride and have no problems complying.
Because it's silly to assume Google's using this for ad tracking and surveillance. The number of people in the world using this is practically zero. I doubt 99% of Google's workforce has ever tried or heard of it. HN has a tendency to jump to ridiculous conclusions.

This is probably a project for some engineers to get promoted and go and work on more interesting stuff.
>I'm actually surprised how incremental the progress was over the last decade

I think you're a bit over-exaggerating here as it really depends on what you do with your PC and where you're coming from.

If you've only been running Intel this whole time and all you do is light workloads then you won't notice much progress since they haven't made much, but if do CPU demanding tasks and were to try a Ryzen 3xxx/4xxx, or better yet, a 5xxx, you'll notice a huge leap forward (if you could find one in stock, that is).

However, your "new" 7700 is a bit old in the tooth now and, despite Intel's lack of major progress, it will still be left in the dust by a newer 10th/11th gen chip.

My old faithful Intel Q6600 still serves my parents just fine after 14 years of age, but I'm not gonna pretend it isn't slow by today's standards on the modern bloated web and with all the electron crap.
I like the idea of wearable computing. I'm not too keen on being locked into Google/Levi's/YSL though. The list of abilities [0] also leaves a lot to be desired. I'm just not bothered by pulling out my phone to change a song or check when my uber is coming.

The gamification of training with adidas and FIFA is the most interesting, but this seems like a lot of extra tech to basically count reps.

I'm sad this story focused so much negative attention on Supermicro, not only because I'm a big fan of their products but because it will surely stop other companies from coming forward or cooperating with investigations for similar attacks now and in the future.
I agree with you. I think there was NEVER more exciting time for the folks truly interested in computers and tech in general. So many fantastic technology breakthroughs came to fruition. Things that used to be available only to research institutions and the military are now sold on Aliexpress for almost nothing.

$1 microcontrollers, robotics, hundreds of programming languages that one can choose from, IoT FPGAs, and so, so much more. And what's even better is that computers are now everywhere, so we are no longer building things that are locked in a box on your table. You can command real-world objects, move real money, alleviate a disability, change people's lives, and all through your code.

I also believe that the most crucial aspect in all of this is that there's finally readily available, well-presented knowledge about all those things. Incredible educators and hobbyists in many of the fields mentioned above spend their days trying to get people interested and inspired and help them learn for FREE. Knowledge and expertise on most topics nowadays are just a few clicks away. I LOVE this.
I don't have the skill to be a grant writer, so I don't begrudge their pay. Grant writer isn't a job you get through nepotism.

I also gave up my smartphone, so my idea was that by leaving, it would be obvious to my friends that they cannot communicate with me in that way (except, as I now know, it is not obvious).
Pretty much all people I ever heard about or new who has issue with gaming were addicted to something like lol, wow or pubg.

The people who play whole night and that are irritable and underperforming during day, who made gaming their whole life, are not playing causual games. They are playing console and pc games.
