The first two addons are available for the Freestyle Pro, but not the 20-90 degree tenting, which is incompatible with that and the bluetooth version of the Freestyle 2 (due to the metal plate interfering with the signal)
Thank you for the correction regarding discrete-in-time. I appreciate it.

In the case of the amount of signal being discrete because it is made of particles, this is also true of the floats that computer neural nets are computing with anyway, isn't it?

I think the top level comment (by NalNezumi) was talking about continuous-ness in time anyway, (and, I think the strength of firing of biological neurons is thought to be at least approximately binary anyway? not sure about that.) so I'm not sure I see the bearing of them being unable to be truly continuous in strength on the question?
Am I alone in thinking the government reaction to this shows the complete ideological bankruptcy of supposed "free market" Republicans? When push comes to shove, they support government intervention as much as any bleeding heart liberal. The only differences are who they want to protect, where their political bread is buttered. What is different between an energy bill and a bill from a hospital?

At some point it's almost like we ought to treat Republican governments like a foreign adversary - just like putting sanctions on Russia is not ideal because ordinary non murdering Russians get hurt, it's not as if we can condemn regular Texans to freeze because of lowlives like Abbott and Cruz. But we have to do something about it, at some point the amount of damage they are doing to the republic has to be confronted.

> This is absolutely not the case today. Schools have a general idea of when an inspection will be (i.e: what season of the year) based on when their last inspection was, but they're only told that an inspection will happen on the morning of the inspection [0].

I have family still in the school system in the UK - but they still get advanced notice. Essentially somebody at the school either knows the inspector or somebody very close to them, and gets a tip off about when it will occur. The system is still corrupt.

One of the biggest things they do is to take a disruptive child and literally lock them up in a building called "room 101". The entire school would have an assembly on that morning at very first thing and told to behave or else.

Half of the stories reflect exactly cases I know to have happened in my local secondary schools, where both students and teachers have acted badly, and in many cases illegally. Honestly, it really makes home schooling an attractive option if you can afford to do so.

Basecamp is a simple app though. Ridiculously simple.

That app could have been written in the mid-1990s using WebObjects in just a few months.

Technologies like MongoDB, React, GraphQL, Microservices etc exist because modern, real-world apps are generally far more advanced than just a glorified CRUD app. Consumers simply have higher expectations and more demands for what web apps should be able to do.

Yes but actually no. Calendars are horribly complicated. IIRC Christ's birth year is about 6 years off. This because the year as we know it was fixated around 300 years Christ's death and by then nobody had (or really cared about) the exact offset.
This is why I prefer buying 15+ year old cars, you know everything that's wrong with them. OK, it just so happens that three cars I've owned has been over 15 years old when I bought them, but I haven't heard a good car analogy in a while.
I used to work in the UK care sector. The regulator there gave no notice of their arrival, they just turned up.

Q: "What is a conspiracy theory under than a disagreement with the official versio of "the truth"?"

Your question reminds me of religious proselytizers doing their best to muddy the intellectual waters to push their weak agendas.

I produced a late night radio talk show for 6 + years and some of my um, more colorful listeners who called in, truly believed that reptilian shape shifting aliens were in full control of the U.S. Government.

More than a few people believe that, and stated so on the airwaves, but many folks would characterize it as a Conspiracy Theory.

I've never seen or heard of a governmental Press Release stating that in fact, the U.S. Government isn't controlled by shape shifting reptilian aliens, so there is no "official version" of "the truth" for those people to disagree with, and where your clearly rhetorical question fails.

So it appears that the "truth" is, it really is slightly unhinged humans who lack the cognitive ability to discern fact from fiction who believe some conspiracy theories.
Sorry I didn't mean to imply an obsession. I'm a relatively high-level Linux user so I was just wondering what you were referring too. Your comment cleared that up though - thanks.

My surface level impression of Ubuntu's innovation since I started using it around 2005 is that its interface usability and driver support has improved consistently - but I can totally see what you mean about the lack of improvements in the applications themselves.

I do hear that gaming on Linux has improved quite a bit but I'm admittedly not much of a gamer these days so I can't comment.

The argument regarding private platform freedom of speech/censorship isn't relevant for Facebook, where documented examples of the state/governments working with Facebook to censor opinions and restrict speech exist. The line between state/private is blurred at best, and disappearing.
Urgh, this feels familiar. Last year I left a company that was just wrapping up a new tech product, everything was microservices and mongodb. Trying to get a simple answer out of the engineering team about something as trivial as “how can I get a list of customers who have purchased product X” was almost impossible.

They sure had fun building it though.
If you read the article, you'll find that the Earth is extremely hard to blow up. It's an enormous ball of iron, and almost any explosion at the surface is unlikely to affect it much. You'd have to detonate a bomb close to its centre, and that bomb would have to be astronomically large. Remember that the Earth got hit with a presumed Mars-sized object in the past, yet Earth is still around (the debris formed the Moon). Such a collision might eradicate all life, but it wouldn't "blow up the planet".
I found this story yesterday and was quite confused as well, because in the YouTube video of him telling the story that they link, he just leaves that part out. But in the audio at the top of the page (and the transcript), he explains it.

'That means more extreme weather. This has been understood since at least 1980.'

The article you provided spoke nothing of extreme weather. It only spoke of average temperature rise.

Temperature rise is not in dispute.

I like the more energy in the atmosphere theory, this would mean events like the suns poles flipping last year or solar events causing ionisation of the poles would also have the same affect increasing energy. Or even that magnetosphere of the earth has decreased by 6%. Which blocks cosmic rays and solar storms. Leading to more clouds being seeded.

It is not proven co2 causes extreme cold weather. It's a hypothesis.

As for building packages for your own use, the tooling is not that difficult. The documentation is just oriented to contribute packages for Debian itself. This implies some unwanted complexity and navigating outdated documentation. Packaging for Debian becomes simpler, but it's heavily rooted into having multiple files describing the package, use of a tarball as the source package and having each language comes with its own helper and documentation.

Here is a "pragmatic" way to write Debian packages without relying on non-Debian tools: https://vincent.bernat.ch/en/blog/2019-pragmatic-debian-pack... (I am the author).

But other than that, I quite agree with your stance: we (Debian) makes life of our contributors harder than it should be. Unfortunately, there is no awareness in the project for that. People trying to change that just silent themselves, like https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-03-10-debian-windin....

Much like with coding, the insight/information /s rate is very rarely keyboard limited.

A good programmer switching to Vim may help them a bit, and it can be a strong enough effect that lots of people will want to switch to better tools like Vim

The headlined article credits the Amiga ROM Kernel Manual: Exec. If you read that book, you'll find that there is indeed a user-mode/supervisor-mode dividing line. What you mean is that TRAP instructions aren't used as the system call interface, which isn't the same thing as not actually having a dividing line. The headlined article does in fact make this very point, however.

No, Exec was not an example of the micro-kernel paradigm. There was no inter-task memory protection, one of the foundations of the micro-kernel model, underpinning the idea that a bug in one part of the system cannot overwrite other parts of the system, which is clearly not the case for Exec. Again, the headlined article actually points out this lack.

Exec was a fairly clean design, with good modular cohesion. But the 1990s thinking evident in the article is to try to contrast it with OS/2 and others, along with the silly "Whatever my operating system doesn't do is obviously something that no-one needs on a personal computer." stuff, instead of recognizing (with 5 years of hindsight even at the time) that Exec was yet another case study of the same design changes happening in multiple systems. DOS+Windows 2.0 in 1987 and OS/2 1.0 in 1986 also exemplified the notions of user-mode-callable function libraries, directly callable by languages such as C and Pascal (and MS Fortran), for the system API, instead of special machine instructions as in MS/PC/DR-DOS, that were left to the runtime library implementors, or even to the applications programmers, to wrap in library functions. Those systems also exemplified the idea that some of this library code (such as the MSG library on OS/2 for example, which is implementable entirely on top of the Control Program API) was actually a user-mode layer on top of the kernel API and didn't need to be specifically kernel code itself; something that the headlined article tries to make out to be a contrast with other systems.

Indeed, at the time that the headlined article was published in 1991, Windows NT had already been implemented with an Object Manager as its name-to-handle mechanism. And the fact that it might be useful to have and to expose the common library functions that the system uses for manipulating its data structures, as Exec did for its linked lists, is evident in the existence of all of the RtlXXX() functions in the Native API.

These ideas weren't all necessarily new in the 1980s, as the Big Iron world had been there before as had the Unix world in the 1970s. What was happening was that they were catching on. Ironically, Linux took a step in the reverse direction when it came along, as its kernel API is (with a small exception) once again officially the special machine instructions rather than a pre-supplied library of mid-/high-level language callable functions. There are cases over the years, especially for languages other than C and C++, where if there had been a linux-system.so or some such, not tightly coupled to the (at least two) C runtime libraries, life would have been a lot easier.

ISO/IEC 27001
>Free speech trumps ethics and peace -- without free speech, we have neither

I really don't understand the purpose of these fortune cookie slogans. First off, how does 'ethics' vanish if we curb free speech? Like is there a date where we solved ethics and now every moral framework that does not value freedom of speech highly is just invalid, like some sort of math problem?

Regarding peace it's just flat out wrong. Of course you can have peace without free speech, probably much more of it. Of course it's worthy asking if sacrificing speech for more peace is justified or not.

But in all seriousness can we stop being dogmatic and unthinking about free-speech, which is in itself kind of ironic? You can debate everything, just not whether free speech is debatable apparently.

To nitpick Superheavy's upper stage is Starship, so it has an upper stage in testing, and the first stage doesn't exist yet.
Yeah you're totally right.

Back in the 90s / 2000s I only needed to upgrade my OS every 4 to 5 years or so - and I guess that attitude kinda stuck (in that I didn't consider Ubuntu 18.04 to be all that old - and I figured that it being an LTS version would cover my newer hardware).

Anyway I take your point - I think it's time to upgrade to 20.04 :)
A clear example why platform languages always win.

C was born to make UNIX portable, and C++ was born a couple of years later on the same office rooms where UNIX came to life.

Any guest language introduces additional hurdles, debugging tools, binding libraries, editor support, and naturally OS package managers.
Not everybody likes the same things. We may all want to do things that have a purpose, that are ethical, and that are relatively easy compared to the money we make, but there is a still a wide potential range of how we define those categories.

What are you thinking of when you say "unethical"? Is a job that has something to do with fossil fuels unethical? Corporate litigation support? The defense industry? Tobacco? Cannabis? Guns? Pharmaceuticals? Meat processing? Investment banking?

Or do you mean unethical in more of an old fashioned way, like participating in concrete crimes?

It seems to me that there's something wrong with judging anything as unethical in an unqualified way if it is currently necessary to sustain society. We may want to eliminate fossil fuels, but millions of people are dependent right now so they don't freeze in the winter.
I went to MIT. MIT has procedures involving NDAs and non-disparage agreements to cover up academic fraud. Academic fraud widespread, at least in the departments I worked with, and the Institute can apply *a lot* of pressure to get people to shut up. Except for anonymous web forums, I did.

I'm sorry, but this isn't letting the individuals off the hook, any more than accusing the KKK of being racist isn't letting a particular KKK member off the hook, or a mafia of engaging in extortion letting any particular member off-the-hook.

There are no effective, enforceable structures for stopping academic fraud. Most people who've engaged in it did not become persona non grata, let alone been fired; most continue to hold tenured academic jobs. Worst-case outcomes are a multiyear slap-on-the-wrist of some kind. That, combined with intense competition, led some people to cheat. Eventually, when it turned out to work okay, it became a culture of cheating.

Yes, the individuals involved should be punished, but much more important are:

1) Procedures for getting crooks out of the academy

2) Reducing competition, so there aren't the intense incentives to cheat

3) Implementing transparency. Why do universities get to use taxpayer dollars (grant / tuition overhead) and charitable contributions to cover up this stuff? Governance should be transparent and open. Data should be transparent and open whenever possible. NDAs and non-disparage agreements should be off-bounds.

4) Big money should be out. Yes, I know how much the typical professor gets paid, but the million-dollar salaries for presidents, Nobel laureates, and similar high-ranked positions distort things.

5) Related to the prior, conflict-of-interest provisions should be just a couple orders of magnitude more enforceable. The industry<->academia and especially startup<->academia pipelines help ground things and prevent things from getting detached, but if you're doing research to start a startup to make a few million dollars, that tends to apply extreme pressure to bake data.

6) Hiring and promotion structures shouldn't be so impact-focused. The easiest way to have impact is to tell politically-popular lies. P-hunt for data that shows liberals are smarter than conservatives, atheists are more open-minded than evangelicals, racism is wholesale, wokeness is the way to solve it, and so on. On this list, the really most harmful is when you reach correct conclusions from false data (much more so, even, than false conclusions from false data).

... and so on. This should happen wholesale, across academia, to be eligible for federal grants or tuition subsidies.
