Renting nodes makes sense these days? I've seen a mailing list post by I think Larry Gritz around 2000 noting that in case of serious productions, bandwidth for assets proportionate to the computational power required or provided would be infeasible for off-premises data centers.
I use UML now just to make sense of the huge complexity in code (front end dev) activity charts for logic, sequence charts for debugging, state distances for UI states. I have found it invaluable.

But I am the only developer in a team of >100 who does.
There are several Tamagotchi like apps, In Ubuntu Touch(UBPorts) Openstore there's Sakawochi where one can grow fishes[1]. I'm not telling you should get UBPorts for this, but this was one of the Tamgagotchi like apps I tried and maybe an old phone with UBPorts for this app would be appropriate for kids.

A very common term in contracts is what is called a merger clause, and what it says essentially is that the contract forms the entire agreement of the parties, and that any oral representations not contained in the contract are irrelevant and to be completely disregarded. But there are courts that hold that a merger clause is not absolute and has its limits.

There are also places, like here in the UK, where statutory consumer rights law explicitly says that trying to hide behind those clauses doesn't stand up. You can't have a salesperson answer a consumer's questions about a product, and then when the consumer finds the product doesn't match the information they were given after buying it, argue that your Ts & Cs say anything the salesperson said before the purchase has no weight. Moreover, if you make a habit of trying, you're likely to attract not just action by the consumer themselves but also the attention of regulators who may be considerably more powerful than any individual consumer.
And, I will nod encouragingly, knowing that you will spend hundreds of times as many hours waiting on builds as I will spend finding and fixing any bugs using your compiler might have helped avoid; and, knowing that you will find overwhelmingly fewer experienced coders available to help when you need them.

In the past decade, I have spent more time on filing compiler bug reports than I have on tracking down and fixing memory usage errors. Rust does not solve a problem I have. But its Node.js-like dependency milieu worries me.

That said, I wish you good fortune with your choice. I do not doubt you will find it. But if you do, it will be a result of your work, not your choice of language.
It was intended as more of a proof by contradiction. If we assume that the judge is correct in assessing this as a state created danger, then this standard would also apply to a wide variety of dangers that the government is also involved with, which have never been classified as such.

They did approve because the research is not a human study, which in my opinion is a correct decision. But, this decision does not endorse the study to be totally ethical, which is a totally different issue.

From what I've been told, UMN aren't active kernel contributors, not making a submission between 2014 and the relevant paper in 2020.

I don't know why this really matters. They could be running a similar experiment this time pretending UMN was compromised.

I'm not sure who Pakki is, if he's not part of the first research group at all it is truly unfortunate he is receiving the blame for it. If he was, the internet's reaction is still unwarranted but frankly typical. I don't see how Kroah-Hartman is at fault though.
One question I have on this - if rail travel became more ubiquitous, would it become a more enticing target for malevolent actors and/or a higher priority for security screenings, etc? We marvel at how easy it is to walk on a train today, but would that change / how might it change if rail carried a more significant portion of travelers?

Apple's dev tools are a huge liability for the company, basically the corporate equivalent of a superfund site. Sooner or later they'll have to address the issue and rewrite the whole thing from scratch, but by the time they do, it may be too late. The only thing that can compel them to fix it is an competitor eating into their market share, and once there is a better alternative, I think people may switch en masse. Mobile apps are mostly just some UI on top of an API, so switching everything to a new OS should be trivial.

raises hand I'm annoyed that these cars exist on the road. They're a danger to all drivers.

People don't need to "learn" how to operate semi-autonomous vehicles that have insufficient safety features. Tesla's autonomy does not train drivers to be attentive. In accident situations, a driver who's been lulled into complacency has no chance to respond appropriately.

Every other company took a more conservative approach to self-driving. Only Tesla barrels forward, head in the sand, ignoring all standards, like being able to exit the vehicle in an accident without needing to find the latch behind the speaker cover. A random passenger would not know this. Tesla breaks things that were not broken and claims they are innovative solutions, meanwhile wasting public investment money.
> Apple also advertise the fact that consumers can keep their purchased files in the cloud for later download. And when using certain settings on iOS and Fire devices, Apple will automatically remove from a device content and apps that haven’t been accessed in a while, requiring the user to download them once more.

Oh gosh, there’s a huge problem on iOS & iPadOS with this. Files app and Books app (and even Photos) will prune files from the local file system to save space. This is alright in itself, but the user has very little to no control over which files are selected algorithmically for this process (there is no “never prune THIS file/folder” option). What’s much worse, there are no SLAs on how quickly the download will occur. I don’t know if it’s regional, but in Singapore I’ve found books app & files app never finish downloading content especially if you request for multiple files - even on WiFi & power. I work around this by storing zip files which I download and extract each time - because at least a single file might succeed downloading (higher chance of success).

This is a huge problem for someone who relies on iCloud when I need a file urgently on the go and all I have is 4G.
This would totally make sense to me - complete refund though doesn’t pass a sniff test
Problem with local telecoms is that too often, there is a local monopoly. The problem with the government is its always in a de facto monopoly position. It has little incentive to change except during a voting cycle turnover, and at most voters can focus on a handful of issues at a time.

Funny enough, it seems like SpaceX has the solution for this and it's rolling out as we speak: https://www.starlink.com/ . Space-based internet that actually works and is actually fast is a game-changer.

Let's see how the telecoms respond to competitive pressure. If anyone can get 100Mbps within a year, I'm willing to bet Gigabit fiber/cable will be available nearly everywhere soon.
This used to be true but modern NVIDIA cards beat x264 on both quality and energy cost.
> the market has plenty of comments like "I wish it had e-ink display" and yet there are no affordable devices like this

> I am sure there is a huge market for it, so where are they? I can only think of one reason: patents.

That's the equivalent of saying, "I wish it had transparent OLED display and yet there are no affordable devices like this". A good analogy would be like looking at the sports car market, and saying Ferraris aren't affordable because of patents. There's numerous reasons why display companies like E Ink and others are unable to make such panels "affordable" because their costs are higher than said price. The dominant reason that I'm aware of is volume. If you're not producing at least a million displays a month, then you can't justify building up a bespoke production line so instead you'll have to repurpose a modified LCD production line for your product and so you'll have lower yields. At larger sizes, you'll even have to kerf by hand. Don't even start thinking about laminating touchscreens, as you'll then start dropping your yields further. It is simple to prove this. Look at E Ink display pricing between say 2002 and today. Their sweetspot is the Amazon sized display and that price has declined dramatically because they achieved volume for only that display. Everything else has stayed around the same price or some have even gone up in price since there's no volume around it. People aren't interested in paying 6 grand for a 32 inch black and white panel and nobody is willing to pony up an order for a million of those even if they could get the price down to 1 grand. No volume, no affordable price. That's the simple truth of the display industry. Patents barely have any effect as far as I can tell. Everybody in the industry has them.
As a fellow human who says “ye gods” so much I have a keyboard shortcut for it, I just want to say how delighted I was to read someone else use the phrase. :)
They are still armored cables wrapped in galvanized steel wires though. Also the spans in shallower waters generally have two layers of steel wire. See:

https://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/the-undersea-cables-that-c...

No cable is going to be a match for a ship's anchor dropping on it or a fishing trawler dragging it but saying cutting through them is "not difficult" is not correct. You couldn't cut through them with a pair of wire cutters. They are also powered spans with 10 kV DC at both ends. So it could also potentially kill you. Anchors and trawling nets are by far the most common reasons for cable faults. Sharks chewing through them however is not common. Although it's certainly a more entertaining image. See:

Because the value of those thing depreciate over time and therefore a full refund doesn’t accurately reflect current value.

A movie is more valuable directly after release, same is true for games. Additionally a movie/game is more valuable to those who have not yet seen/played them.
C is still a widely used and beautiful language. It is "safe," in the sense that the machine does more or less exactly what you ask it to. Allocate memory when you need it, and free it when you consume it / are done with it.

You do not have to use these features if you do not want to.

C++ is very powerful, and has an amazing world of libraries available, but sometimes I feel like it is at least two languages at the same time.

For example, one benefit of using C++ over C is writing C style programs with modern libraries and convenient containers in the STL, but you quickly learn that C style programming isn't supported across the board, and hitting that wall can be jarring and unexpected (Looking at you openCV - just try to allocate space for a struct containing a cv::Mat)
Because FB doesn't care about rate or distortion, they care about cost to them and whether the result meets some minimum standard of acceptability.
Agree. Some major changes need to be made to their ethics review process.
> I don't know why this really matters.

Because Greg's response doesn't actually address any problem, it's purely grandstanding. The researchers explicitly performed their work not using university addresses, so banning the university does nothing. As Kees Cook has already noted, the vast majority of patches from the university are legitimate.

> I'm not sure who Pakki is

The researcher who submitted output from his legitimate research to try to fix bugs. Greg responded by insulting him, saying he is incompetent, stating that he is malicious, and then that he would ban the university over this.

How could Greg not be at fault? His post made false allegations against Aditya, claiming that he was acting maliciously, and because no one fucking reads anymore, people think Aditya was trying to insert vulnerabilities into the kernel.

So they are using feedback to see how many people are watching a video to use more cpu for advanced compression - There is nothing innovative here - we want to make sure we provide resources to something thats viral and not to all videos, whats innovative here ?

Yeah, the only real possibilities for landing on a runway are insanely long runways (dozens of miles!) or high-speed arrestor cables, like souped-up versions of those used on carriers. And even then, the super-wide maneuvering radius means flaring without stalling is practically impossible - you'd need to clear a long area in front of the runway so you can basically come in almost flat.
Lots of similar replies. I meant if a DVD costs $25 and a digial download comes with a long-tail(forever per the comment I relied to) then how much should it cost? More I would imagine.

Sure they could advertise longer rental lengths, or clearly tie it to the business (which is probably buried in the ToS already). But if congress legislates digital purchases to be available forever with a 100% refund attached, how much should that cost? It seems wholly uneconomical from a provider side. We all work in IT, but in an enterprise situation, you know how quickly LTS is de-prioritized.

I would price a true forever digital licence in the $100's because you have to account for so many variables like storage(what country(s) can I store this movie in), bandwidth (what quality must I provide), and regions(where can I watch this).

I would love a world where I can stream whatever, whenever, forever after a purchase but someone has to manage that, and forever is an insane horizon. Even 100 years is crazy! WWI-ish to today!

And if they offered DRM free downloads, are you ok with it being one time? What if it was watermarked? Would you be willing to secure your copies? At some level a business will want to make money on their product and prevent piracy.

I dunno. I want cheap, widely available, drm free media too, but I understand why it hasn't come to be yet.
Agreed. If you ossify what Forth is with an elaborate, prescriptive standard, you lose flexibility; the language can no longer be simplified and reshaped to suit needs.
And people look at me with gaze when I tell them that I don’t want iCloud. I would much rather pay for a service I can use on any platform so that I can switch out of Apple whenever I want to. Apple fanboys will grill me for this, but at least I will be saving my future self from headaches.
No, the Digivices [0] were a completely different toy: It lacked the caring aspect and used a pedometer to make progress in traveling the world, where on occasion you'd get an alert about encountering an enemy digimon. If you ignored it your Digimon would be injured and you'd have to heal it.

In addition, to get in on the craze, other companies made their own products that played identically to tamagotchis. Tiger Electronics had the Giga Pet brand [1], for example, from which I had the alien.

Quick edit: Ah wait maybe you meant these [2], which were before the Digivices. I never had one, don't know if they were more like tamagotchis.

You can use layer 2 technologies like state channels to boost the efficiency of the market, you don't need every single transaction to happen on-chain. Skynet is a platform that does this already - every upload and download makes between 30 and 300 crypto transactions, including downloads that are only fetching a few kilobytes of data.

It ends up being efficient enough to run at scale. Skynet currently has over 100,000 active users, and is doing something like 300,000,000 crypto transactions per month. This could easily scale another 100x without increasing the energy footprint of the system, and quite possibly 10,000x as well.

The promise of crypto isn't that there won't be any middlemen, it's that you'll be in control of your own relationship with the people you follow. Right now your relationship with the content creators you follow on YouTube is under the management of the YouTube platform itself. YouTube decides what counts as acceptable, what needs to be de-monetized, and what needs to be de-platformed. In the crypto world, those decisions are left in the hands of the content creators and their viewership, which imo creates a much healthier public grounds for free speech.

The best part is that it's all opt-in. If Patreon + YouTube is what works for you, then more power to you; there's no pressure to switch.
I might be misremembering it (I think she said it on Twitter), but the way I understand it is as follows.

If you use your computer only through Nautilus, Firefox, and Instagram, you will commonly encounter software problems that you cannot solve, or solve only through a lot of manual drudgery. But, with a deeper understanding of the layers behind the simplified interface—layers which, for historical reasons, commonly work through "command lines", such as the JS console in the browser, the GRUB command line for booting Linux, or of course the Linux bash prompt—you often need only minutes to solve problems that would have taken hours or days to solve by hand.

Similarly, today, if you want to solve hardware problems, you will often find yourself confronted with datasheets or forum threads that are written in Chinese. If you don't speak Chinese, you will either be unable to solve the problem, or you will have to reconstruct the information needed through experimentation, or by help from someone who does speak Chinese.

That may be what its intended. But 5 -> 3 is a world apart from 5 -> 5.95. One is consumer friendly (and groundbreaking information theory) and the other is just about reducing margins while pretending to be consumer friendly.
Are you saying that it is better than the alternatives? Have you tried writing code from a grouped-resources perspective? What was your conclusion?
Cost is the rate. Acceptability and distortion are the same thing (although the curves are different).

Depends on what "practical" means to you. For example, you can paste

import AppKit

_ = NSApplication.shared
NSApp.setActivationPolicy(.regular)
let window = NSWindow(contentRect: NSRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 500, height: 500)), styleMask: [.titled, .closable, .miniaturizable, .resizable], backing: .buffered, defer: true)
window.title = "Test"
window.center()
window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil)
NSApp.activate(ignoringOtherApps: true)
NSApp.run()

into a file and run it to get a window.
cool. so can someone unflag it now
>“In many ways I think we’re going backwards,” Ida says. “I grew up in a time when sex wasn’t a big deal, and we’d always go bathing naked and people seemed more open minded. Now, people just seem to be getting more and more conservative.”

An observation I've made too. I don't think it's an accident that this was done in the Netherlands given that in central and Northern Europe in particular there was always a healthy and open attitude towards nudity and sexuality and a "Freikörperkultur"

I noticed this with the decline of mixed saunas and changing rooms in public baths and I don't know if it's an Americanisation of culture but people seem to become increasingly neurotic about sexuality and people's bodies.
