IT is one of the best fields for working from home. You should consider that or we have a profound bias.

And, it's true that commuting and working in badly designed open office spaces are extremely bad for productivity.

On the other hand working in a group can be a lot more productive than alone in the home office even connected electronically because we are humans and need social stimulation, but this is not true for everybody.

We should not forget these points when commenting.

There's a nice free OS textbook by Remzi and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau named Three Easy Pieces (https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/), which was recently featured on this site (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26051386). There are some exercises from the textbook that use xv6.

Here are some other nice OS textbooks from a Unix standpoint that I've used over the years whenever I need to study some aspect of Unix in depth:

- The Design of the UNIX Operating System by Maurice Bach (1986)

- The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, 2nd Edition by McKusick, Neville-Neil, and Watson (2014)

- UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers by Uresh Vahalia (1996) (note that this book covers the implementations of Unix variants that were contemporary in 1996)
5 meters. However, the "intended target" is not simply defined.

The landing ellipse for Perseverance was 7.7km by 6.6km. The goal is to land at a safe spot within the ellipse rather than land at a specific location.

The new Terrain Relative Navigation capability determines the rovers position relative to the surface during descent by comparing camera images to onboard satellite imagery. On Earth you'd use GPS. No GPS on Mars.

Once the rover knows it's position, it can now determine the safest spot to land using an onboard hazard map. The spot it chose to land at vs the spot it actually landed at was 5 meters apart.

I believe Pandas is incompatible with Arrow for a few reasons, such as their indexes and datetime types. But it's pretty easy to convert a pandas dataframe to Arrow and vice versa – I actually use this to pass data between Python & Julia.

As a side note, Wes McKinney, the creator of Pandas, is heavily involved in Arrow.
I'm pretty sure safety has a list of how to deal with safety based on practicality - the top of the list is to design the equipment so the safety risk isn't possible in the first place (e.g. design the device so touching it doesn't electrocute you), then various levels of mitigation (put a barrier around it, put clearly marked concrete and physical distance around it), then only if all that is horribly impractical comes the "solution" of training the user not to do the dangerous thing.

Also, aren't chainsaws nowadays designed so that if the user doesn't have two hands on the chainsaw grabbing the triggers, the chainsaw automatically cuts off? IIRC that's a thing.

Edit:there's the grip-safety ("safety throttle") for the trigger finger and there's the chain break for the forward hand, which will push forward and activate the brakes if the hand let's go or if recoil pulls the hand forward.

The user also needs training as there's still no way to guard the exposed blade when in use nor to keep it out of proximity of humans.
TLDR:

The CEO of WhatsApp says
- continues to say the whole controversy around the new TOS is fake news
- WhatsApp are still growing
- Does not like privacy labels because they are confusing due to each app defining what they put on it (example given: you can't tell from them that Telegram doesn't have E2E but WhatsApp does)
- Does not like that the German Government wants them to actively help the police track criminals, including silently installing malware on their phone.
- Is against weaking their own encryption for the government.
Much of the disinfecting we are now doing now is essentially performative.

Yes, a lot of the things we are doing are performative. Most people don't really know how to use masks effectively and a lot of how people interact with their masks makes things worse, not better.

I work really hard to just avoid being exposed to germs because of my situation. I try to not touch a lot of stuff in public and this is not the norm.

I hate it when people "helpfully" want to get me a cart. I can get it myself. Keep your hands off my cart.

I saw someone blow their nose under their mask just a few feet from me. I wish we would focus much more on messages like "Don't blow your nose in crowded public spaces" than on "Wear your mask." There have been so many incidents like that and I have been toying with the idea of starting an "incident report" file to talk about specific incidents and why this stuff makes me crazy.

I don't like people talking at me unnecessarily.

I don't like people laughing near me. That's almost as bad as people coughing at me.

I will shower as promptly as I can if someone does cough in my general direction or similar.

There's a whole lot of stuff I do to simply avoid germs without having to rely a lot on chemical disinfectants because I'm also chemically sensitive. And I am a lot healthier than I am supposed to be so I know this stuff works.

If anyone has ideas on how I can effectively start writing about this, I'm all ears. I don't know how to get, say, beta readers or some kind of early feedback. I know it's a touchy topic and feedback and some kind of traction would be enormously helpful in trying to write more about this. I can't seem to get that part, so it ends up being very incomplete, one-off comments on the internet, like this one.
among those lines of "lot of incorrect or inaccurate information",

>DER SPIEGEL: Soon after you announced your new privacy policies, chain letters started circulating on WhatsApp. People recommended other messenger apps like Signal, Threema or Telegram and said WhatsApp would read phone books and misuse the contacts.

Cathcart: There is a lot of incorrect or inaccurate information. That’s why we have delayed the update and send additional information to users directly in WhatsApp. Let me be very clear: We cannot read your messages, we cannot listen to your calls. When you send your location over WhatsApp, we do not know where you are.

>WhatsApp would read phone books and misuse the contacts?

We cannot read your messages, we cannot listen to your calls. When you send your location over WhatsApp, we do not know where you are.
> does that not mean there is no free will, and therefore that morality does not exist

Or in other words, free will is necessary for morality to exist. I beg to differ.

Morality can be evaluated at population level - do the actions of an agent hurt or help the others? Punishment can be seen as simply compensating for bad influences in society.

If you look at game theory you can see how behavior relates to cooperation or betrayal, how these are also related to the context, and how society needs to weed out those who betray it.

Many extinct animals went extinct after a few millions of years of being present, often tens of millions.

The oldest technologies humans still marginallyand recreationally use (like the flintstone knives mentioned) are maybe 30k to 50k years old. There is no 1M years old human-specific technology, because anyone resembling humans barely existed that long ago. Only the very basic things likely were used, like smashing seashells with a rock — but it's a "technology" used to this day by apes and even birds.
The SIFT algorithm discards low contrast keypoints.
In the beginning the surface looks quite blurry (it seems the camera is auto-focusing the heat shield) which probably causes only low quality keypoints to be found on the surface.
Additionally, if the algorithm also capped the maximum number of keypoints per image, the situation gets even worse, because strong keypoints on the heat shield (which had to be discarded "manually" later) compete against weak keypoints on the surface.

Yes, I don't see how blockchain technology will solve a problem like this in any way whatsoever. No entry in a blockchain and labelling thereof on containers will prevent breaking the seals on a contain and swapping out real for fakes.

" it is possible that what conservatives want is not to repeal 230, but explicitly condition immunity on a “fair and balanced” content moderation — i.e., a social media fairness doctrine backed up a threat of immunity-stripping."

This makes a lot of sense. The idea of making forum owners responsible for the content their users post would result in far harsher moderation. Which is opposite to what they want.

Have the calls for Section 230 repeal subsided since the change in administration?

The study[0] says:

"The images on the manuscript are particularly worn, especially those likely to be touched, rubbed or kissed as part of religious veneration, such as the nearly rubbed-out green crucifix, attesting to its use (figure 1)"

and has a picture for you to see for yourself. It doesn't seem particularly silly to me.

Also it says "severe abrasions implies that it was often touched or kissed, and accords with widespread evidence of medieval votive practices, where an image was kissed or rubbed so frequently the image is worn and blurred" and links to a rather fascinating 56-page paper (with lots of beautiful photos of illuminated manuscripts) on the subject, "Kissing images, unfurling rolls, measuring wounds, sewing badges and carrying talismans: considering some Harley manuscripts through the physical rituals they reveal".[1]

Papering Over our TPM 2.0 TSS Divisions
1:1 conversations continue to be e2e and will forever be (allegedly).

Communicating with a business will not be e2e, per their new TOS.

Simple “Privacy nutrition labels”, like apple recently introduced in the App Store are a neat idea, but because they are self reported and not standardized they can do more harm than good. Eg it’s not clear from the labels that WhatsApp is e2e for personal comms while telegram isn’t by default and never for groups.

WhatsApp confirms they keep some of your personal data including phone numbers from your address book but doesn’t currently share that with Facebook.

This feels like a gross generalization that's not applicable in many situations, and is immensely dependent on each individual person and situation.

I can write non-trivial performant code in Rust, including bindings across a C FFI much faster than I can weave together the equivalent code and build scripts in C++. Memory safety isn't the only thing Rust brings to the table. I sometimes don't because C++'s ecosystem is far developed for a certain application and it's not worth it for that particular situation. As with most things, it's about trade-offs.

It’ll probably never be fully comparable because Pandas can represent python objects and nulls (badly). However, for the most part Arrow and Numpy are compatible. There’s no overhead in converting an arrow data structure into a Numpy one.
Minimizing death at the expense of a slightly longer pandemic doesn't seem like an unreasonable choice in a situation that lacks any perfect solutions.
Of course, there are non-engineer SMEs in those non-eng teams. I think you meant to ask why an engineer would want to join a non-eng team.

Software is one of the most powerful force multipliers known to humans. If you are an engineer with strong problem solving skills, you will be able to build software solutions to non-engineering problems. Sometime the best rewards to these solutions come when you are part of a non-eng team. Example, software engineers working in finance.

There's no grey area here, though. Emulator devs explicitly disavow using their software for piracy, and ban anyone on official forums for mentioning or linking to pirated games. That's all they have to do, really. (assuming the emulator is clean-room, of course).

Generally in investment it's helpful to recognise we're not infallible and ask: what is the probability I'm wrong on this? And that's generally a good way to size positions for things you don't want to own, but that the market is telling you to.

If I was in you're position, I'd think there's at least a 0.1% chance I'll be proven wrong (after all money is based on social consensus). So I'll take 0.1% of my investable assets and dump it into Bitcoin to hedge myself, and then forget about it.
As nested pairs I would think. That is, when jumping forward from t to u scan the program incrementing a counter each time you see a t and decrement when you see a u, when the counter goes negative you have reached the matching u.

But what is supposed to happen when there is no matching u? Undefined like C and so implementation dependent? Or is the documentation just a summary and the real specification is the Python implementation?

In fact looking at the Python on the esolang site that is what happens and if there is no matching u then the program counter will have advanced beyond the end of the program and the program terminates. Going back fro u to t is slightly different in that if there is no matching t then it will simply continue from the first instruction.

Language design is difficult even for seemingly simple languages.
It's a fine concept. Good for replacing stuff like appimage besides the packaging part?

Mixing this with OS package management will require some consideration.

So they are using overlayfs, which means that "upper" directories have visibility precedence on file name conflict. Which means that some auditing facility should be required that alerts if an upper sys image masks a lower one, or if an OS package some time later installs a file to the "lower" directory, perhaps the original rootfs, but a sysfs package still takes precedence…
I googled Entangled Minds, apparently "Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality" by Dean Radin. Immediately I thought "Oh, I guess that's quantum in the meaningless "woo" sense, like Deepak Chopra" and scrolling down the amazon page was a blurb by Chopra! – "Dean Radin brings parapsychology into mainstream science. The revolution has begun." Radin is a parapsychologist, even a former President of the Parapsychological Association. I consulted wikipedia on parapsychology, to refresh - it's been a very long while. The article begins

"Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena (extrasensory perception, as in telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, a.k.a. telekinesis, and psychometry) and other paranormal claims, for example related to near-death experiences, synchronicity, apparitional experiences, etc. It is considered to be pseudoscience by a vast majority of mainstream scientists, in part because, in addition to a lack of replicable empirical evidence, parapsychological claims simply cannot be true "unless the rest of science isn't." ... Parapsychology has been criticised for continuing investigation despite being unable to provide convincing evidence for the existence of any psychic phenomena after more than a century of research."

Uh, possibly fair enough. But apparently in his book

"Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab tests."

> Temporary emails are like burner phones, they are not attached to a user and the email address and the inbox. They are good for the users to try out a service, but they provide no value for the service.

I disagree with this. If someone is using a free email service, there's a good chance they want to try it. Perhaps they like it. So, it is connected to a user's interests, and connected to their desire for privacy at the trial stage.

Perhaps give a hint on a password recovery page, or subscription page, that a disposable email address will lead to an unrecoverable account, or similar.

> They will use up space by creating an account for the user on the service

It's not a lot of space, is it? Do bounce tracking to see anything undelivered. Tier emails through those that login again less (or at all) and have a different message for whatever tranche of users you put them into and seems effective, and this probably reduces fees or potential to be listed as spam for anyone that gets them but is uninterested.
>Stated differently, some liberals seem to have the fantasy that potential civil liability would finally force platforms to do more about disinformation on their sites — “to take responsibility.” But what does that mean?

If so, Newsmax and Gateway Pundit and even Fox News would not exist.
