> if phone A had the malicious code then the scanner is infected, now when scanning phone B the results are invalid

I think it was more insidious. Police scans phone A and stores a log. Police scan phone B with said code on it, which infects the scanner. This code not only tampers with the logs for phone B, but goes back and tampers with the logs for phone A. There is thus no log that one can definitively say represents the true state of any scanned phone at the time it was scanned.
I know. The behaviour here also kind of explains why you couldn't trust White dudes to follow-up on their promise of diversity in tech, either. It is hard to face uncomfortable PoVs when it is easy to silence them from a position of privilege, which you and I know is going to be abused every single time. Kind of makes me sad.

On twitter, when I pointed out to a White tech bro that they were endorsing [and donating to] an Indian right-wing militant org, they simply shrugged it off as hard to understand [what's right] from afar. I mean, the org was knee-deep in anti-Muslim riots in the Capital just a year ago. The tweet and the endorsement still stands on their timeline like a slap in the face when the bro's own personal blog says they're all-in for "empathy and diversity". From my PoV, I take it that they refused to be "corrected" by a non-White dude, and that their fragile ego is hurt.

> The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident increased papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) incidence in surrounding regions, particularly for 131I-exposed children. [...]

> Radiation-related genomic alterations were more pronounced for those younger at exposure. Transcriptomic and epigenomic features were strongly associated with driver events but not radiation dose. Our results point to DNA double-strand breaks as early carcinogenic events that subsequently enable PTC growth following environmental radiation exposure.

That's assuming a rather undiscriminating consumer, and honestly, may not even be true in all cases anyhow... Netflix has become extremely adept at building a UI that hides how thin their offerings have actually become. If a 20-year-old tried to make the Netflix April 2021 library last their entire life I suspect they'd be disappointed well before they are 30 assuming reasonably average amouts of time spent watching it.
> They are lobbying to increase taxes and giving away their wealth. What more do you want from them?

I think you're misreading my comment. It wasn't meant to shame buffet/gates for not paying more taxes, it was to point out that even they are going to act in their self interest in terms of paying taxes. ie. they won't pay more taxes than they need do.
"If a role can be outsourced, it can be automated."

I still think the idea of having a certain type of weed intentionally planted along the crops is better. A symbiosis that prevents unwanted plants to grow. Also the weed whatever it is can be used to feed animals or turn it into some kind of fuel Or it can stay and prevents the solid form going bad in the time where nothing grows.

We could probably use high-tech robots to identify the different plans and harvest one without damaging the other. Something that is currently not possible in large scale farming and thus wont allow us to plant different things in the same space.
Google could easily lower pagerank for blogspam by measuring density of affiliate links.

They don't, because low quality consumerist search results make the ads fit right in. Also those sites are more likely to contain Google Ads themselves.

The search engine is fully optimized for consumerism, not finding the most relevant result.
Telegram really doesn't cease to amaze me with the amount of features it's packing and everything that is possible. Really tremendous development and engineering feat, especially at this scale. I love the app and use it constantly.
I guess I don't follow what the advantage would be. Putting hours and wear/tear on a $250k tractor that you likely have other uses for in order to cut what? $10k off the price of this for the cummins motor and hydraulics? It would need power generation of some sort, so you'd be doing PTO off the tractor instead to drive a generator.

I'd imagine the end result would be more fuel and in the long run more expense.

>The announcement uses the word investment 17 times. Reading that as a charity pitch requires a few logical leaps.

Again, a non-sequitur. Even if they read "investment" as "tea party" 17 times, they still never said or implied that it was useless.

The Apple article is obviously trying to paint the investments as acts of goodwill. Not many people would expect anything else, it's just good PR. "Charity" might be an exaggeration, but can't you see why it could rub people the wrong way?

The C programming language does not provide any guarantees that tail calls will be optimized out in this way. Compilers are free to do it if they want to and it doesn't violate the "as-if" rule, but they are neither required to do it, nor required not to do it.

However, if you can statically GUARANTEE that this "optimization" happens (which is what this new clang feature does), it opens up a new kind of programming pattern that was simply not possible in C before, it was only really possible in assembly. The reason you couldn't do it in C before is that if the compiler decides (which it is free to do) not to optimize the tail call, it adds to the stack, and you will get stack overflow pretty much instantly.

This MUSTTAIL thing is basically an extension to the C programming language itself: if you can guarantee that the tail call happens, you can structure your code differently because there's no risk of blowing the stack in this case. Another language that actually does this is Scheme, in which the language guarantees that tail calls are eliminated, for the very same reason. If a scheme interpreter doesn't do this, it's not a valid Scheme interpreter.

"Debug mode" vs. "Release mode" doesn't really enter into it: if this optimization doesn't happen, the program is no longer correct, regardless of what optimization level you've selected. Asking "why is the compiler missing this obvious optimization in production mode" is missing the point: you have to guarantee that it always happens in all compilation modes, otherwise the code doesn't work at all.
I suspect you really in fact do want to record the audio as it was intended to be played back. With the mass of the tone arm, the tracking and such as the tone arm swings closer to the inner radius of the disc, the RIAA equalization....

I've been spending the past several months writing the server-side code of a web-app, which aims to improve the way in which certain difficult-to-price goods are valued. We're on the verge of launching the tool, and before that happens, I shouldn't be too much more specific about it. In any case, the server functionality is almost exclusively written in FORTH, a language for which I have a great affinity, stemming from the days when I first programmed my (stack-based) HP 48GX calculator as an undergraduate electronic engineering student. My experience in doing this has been almost exclusively pleasurable and satisfying (and nostalgic). Having tried various options, I opted to use a rather minimal forth, pForth, and so I needed to write a number of my own libraries, including ones for hash-tables, ones for handling the data files I required, ones for ways to communicate over WebSockets, and many others. The code-base is remarkably small, and it's been a stimulating experience.

(I'm responsible for the browser-side code too, and this is written in a Scheme, biwascheme, which is so much nicer than having to use Javascript, in my opinion.)

Along the way, I've created various other shell-script utilities in pForth for other purposes, which always rival the speed I'm used to getting from using AWK—mwak, specifically—which has always been impressively fast when handling large amounts of data.

Me being the only coder on this project is why I've been able to get away with indulging in this peculiar, but vastly under-appreciated, language!

In what sense it is deterministic? Any refcount decrement may or may not be the last one and that may or may not cause a huge graph of objects being free()d which (even without destructors) takes unpredictable amount of time.

Then again, malloc() itself is usually not deterministic in a sense that it may take an arbitrary amount of time to make an allocation: many implementations shift work from free() to malloc() to get better asymptotic time complexity.

To continue as a company they have to invest just like any other company. As Apple is so big, of course the investments they make are big. But not necessarily bigger than what any other company invests in percent of revenue or profit.

This announcement makes it sound like it's something amazingly special they do. But in fact, any company throughout history has invested a certain percentage of their revenue, just like Apple is now doing.
Librarians find it pretty tough. In 1970 MARC (used to represent a "library card") was the first standard data format with variable length fields! It was the first standard data format to confront internationalization, etc.

It is no wonder metadata systems are ahead of other systems in semantic flexibility. If somebody gave you a whole bunch of weather simulation data you would have some big arrays laid out in accordance to their scale and expected usage patterns and then you would have some a graph of relationships describing that the content is barometric pressure sampled on a certain grid, etc.

Sometimes these "metadata" relationships are so privileged that they become code, I mean a "CREATE TABLE" in SQL can be "exactly similar to" some definitions in OWL even though one causes the physical layout of memory and storage and the other one only attaches meanings to some symbols that may or may not be in the graph without what OWL thinks.

The "production rules" systems that were popular in 1980s A.I. have improved by orders of magnitude because of RETE-type algorithms, hashtable indexes, etc.

Either way it is wrong. 35 years is fast enough to not worry about long term. It only takes a couple centuries for anything with a half-life that small to complete decay. For nuclear waste we worry about things with half-lives in the thousands of years as we can't be sure we can store it for as long as it is dangerous.

The real question then becomes what does it decay into? A lot of things decay some something with a dangerously long half life.

The link to hexagonal architecture at the bottom is an important one.

Colored functions are a good thing. In fact, just splitting based on red/blue for sync/async doesn't go far enough. You also need to split based on pure/impure. Many times async are impure, but the reverse(sync being pure) is not at all guarenteed and the distinction is there.

The colored pain point that the original topic pointed out IS a good thing, if you don't have a direct dependency between the code that ran before the await and after the await, they should not be nested into the same layer. The thing that I think I've come to understand is that the typical call stack has way to many layers. Hexagonal Architecture together tracking async/sync and pure/impure leads to a pipeline of many functions at the top of the module, and this leads to better code.
I am not easy about those technologies. What stops them to retrain it so that it will blind humans who have bad comment history on Facebook?
The reason we don't automate CEOs is liability: the board of directors/shareholders want someone to hold accountable when bad decisions start getting made. If you pay $4000 for a brand new iCEO that lays off your entire staff, you can really only scream at whoever minted the software making that decision, which often comes with limited liability licenses.

Remember, corporate structure is about minimizing your own work and maximizing your leverage against your co-workers. None of these shareholders want to live in a world where something can't be fixed by shouting at someone over the phone.
As much as cryptocurrency for me personally is to have control over its access via a wallet, many people do not want the responsibility to permanently losing their cryptocurrency due to any number of things that could cause a loss of access. In this case exchanges appear to have become the de facto custodian for many people's cryptocurrency holdings. We might could compare it to having cash in mattress vs an uninsured institution that could be hacked or dismantled by the state at will.
To outsource something you have to be able to unambiguously specify requirements (otherwise costs blow up as you go back and forth). Once you’ve made it truly unambiguous, the next logical step is automation.
I don't see it, all I see is a labor force that is being freed up to do better things with their time. Of course in our current political environment everyone is extremely selfish and only out for their own gains. Nobody cares about the short term unemployment problems of these people.

In theory our economic system has been set up in a way that structural unemployment is impossible in the long term term. Automation increases the excess savings rate by cutting labor costs, the excess money is then invested into more automation which only causes excess savings to grow. The unemployment caused by automation goes hand in hand with deflationary pressure as automation decreases the cost of goods. The Fed will respond to a fall in the inflation rate by lowering the interest rates, which encourages borrowers to invest their money and create more jobs. If borrowers fail to invest and the excess savings keep accumulating the interest rates will drop until they hit 0% at which point people will switch to treasury bonds and if those fall to 0% they will withdraw their money as cash. As treasury yields drop to 0% this forces the US government to increase the total investment rate of the economy on behalf of the buyers of the treasury bonds. If the government doesn't increase its deficit the economy will have to respond by reducing the total savings rate, which effectively means unemployment because someone must consume more than they earn. If all of the above fails, the government can send stimulus checks to its citizens. This will increase the inflation rate which will eat away at uninvested savings. In theory the Fed could the same thing but it would be called helicopter money with the crucial difference that there would be nothing on the Fed's balance sheet to counteract inflation exceeding expectations.

Of course all of this is in theory, in practice there is zero political will power. Just look at Trump, he could have done the infrastructure bill, but he didn't. It wouldn't surprise me if Biden fails to push it through and we have to come up with increasingly extreme options that nobody wants. Ideas like Keynesian gold digging only exist because the political environment has "collapsed" to the point where no good ideas are left.
Those neurotoxins are perfectly safe. You can drink a cup of glyphosate and you'll be fine. There are no long term side effects, and sure the only studies are carried out by the manufacturer, but we know we can trust them.

It's kind of a shitty job no matter how much you pay. The work is seasonal so the people doing this have to move around following the work. It's also in remote locations, there aren't apartments for rent right next to the farm. Often the farm has to provide housing, which of course means they will do whatever they can to cut costs. Internet and cell reception are going to be abysmal, nothing but farmland for miles in every direction. And you're constantly on the move following the next job. Don't get me wrong, there are some serious things that can and need to be done to improve the industry, but even with all of those fixed it's not a job for everyone.
The problem is that it's a basically impossible task.

I'd love to make use of this in various open source projects but as far as I know the Mozilla Public Licence has the same problem as LGPL if you ever want to build for Android or iOS.

You can't mingle MPL/LGPL code with non-copyleft code unless it compiles to a separate binary.

And on iOS/Android - you're forced to have a single signed binary for distribution on the official stores.

Have I misunderstood? I would like to use it in conjunction with Apache licenced code. It feels like I'd be complying with the spirit but not the letter of the licence.

Narratives of ecocide, when a society fails due to self‐inflicted ecologic disaster, have been broadly applied to many major archaeological sites based on the expected environmental consequences of known land‐use practices of people in the past.

The wood‐overuse hypothesis suggests that tree clearance in the uplands surrounding Cahokia led upstream erosion, causing increasingly frequent and unpredictable floods of the local creek drainages in the floodplain where Cahokia Mounds was constructed. More frequent and unpredictable flooding in the floodplain would increase the risks involved within bottomland agriculture to “a point where less productive, but more predictable, upland agricultural strategies became the optimal solution to a growing problem”.

The presence of a stable ground surface (Ab horizon) from Mississippian occupation to the mid‐1800s does not support the expectations of the wood‐overuse hypothesis. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that pre‐Colombian ecological change does not inherently cause geomorphic change, and narratives of ecocide related to geomorphic change need to be validated with the stratigraphic record.

That’s why I said properly implemented! Good optional implementations let you do the check once to unwrap the inner value, so you have one branch.

In rust:

if (let Some(inner) = s) {
// now you can access inner repeatedly
// without branches
}
}

I think for this reason 1998-2004 was the golden age of gaming. Hardware capabilities got good enough that fairly rich 3D environments and mechanics were possible, but they were primitive enough that there was no pretense at complete realism and imagination could fill the gaps. Games were also cheap enough to produce, so novel ideas could get funded and smaller studios could make AAA games.

Gaming audiences were also still small enough that you didn't have to pander to the lowest common denominator.

All of the above resulted in such gems as Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid, etc. I do not think this is nostalgia talking either - some of these games I only played for the first time recently and many years after their release.

It forces me to express in the most simple way the intention behind the code.
The whole problem is the adversarial environment. It's orders of magnitude harder to create genuinely useful content than it is to create crap or copy content. Meanwhile, the difference between useful and lazy content requires a holistic view and even embodied (IRL) understanding. For example, it's so much more work to physically review a set of items and write that up than it is to just read and summarize other people's reviews (bad content). It's also hard to tell the difference between these without physically trying the item in real life (bad ranking). So the ranker can't tell what's crap and there's more crap than good stuff.

If there was no money to be made by ranking highly on search engines, I think the promise the article's talking about might have been fulfilled.
