Once again automatic updates are shown to be fundamentally malicious. Would you let an incompetent mechanic come to your home and fiddle with your car at random times of the month, even though nothing was wrong with it, on vague promises of minor improvements he might be able to make?

If a serious security issue or amazing feature you can't live without comes along, patch it manually. Otherwise, updates are the devil.
I don't disagree with you, but our current system that we have in reality does not handle things well if you just allow rampant cheating.

Restructuring is a good idea but you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater in the meantime.
However, minutes later after the manoeuvre, it was confirmed that Google has already recovered the domain.

I'm confused. It seems to me that this article just through some lines in it without further explanation.
You could implement the same Solid-style model using centralized storage or you could implement lock-in on top of decentralized storage. It's mostly orthogonal.
Go back to grade school and learn your percentages anew. You are treating them very badly.
They don't seem to decrease crime rates in others, but how about crime rates for the people actually sentenced?

Sentencing Alice to 20 years for some crime might not discourage Bob from doing the same crime, but it is at least going to stop Alice from doing that crime again for the next 20 years (assuming we are talking about a crime that Alice cannot do in prison).
This is an important and highly under-appreciated point. We humans evolved under some very particular environmental conditions, ones which are radically different from space in almost every conceivable way.

When people talk about colonizing Mars, I ask them to do the following thought experiment: imagine you are going to move to the Atacama desert. You have to live there for the rest of your life. You get to take one standard twenty-foot shipping container with you. You can pack that container however you like, but you have to live inside the container along with whatever stuff you pack it with for nine months before you can go out for the first time.

Figuring out how to make that work is about 100 times easier than colonizing Mars.
We've fixed a ton of these in PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe, as opposed to Windows PowerShell / powershell.exe), particularly because we needed to support Linux and more of its semantics.

If you're seeing issues within PowerShell 7, please file issues against us at github.com/powershell/powershell
> In case you don't know who Proctorio is:

Procto-: Anus; (more frequently) rectum;

-torio: radioactive chemical element (in spanish)

Therefore, it is a radioactive anus?
Yeah, but Google wouldn’t want any part of that type of arrangement. Better to let it go un-associated with the country than to depend on some other party that can extort at renewal time.
I want the ease of use of their AST specification with the power of clang’s refactor tool. Has anyone attempted to do that?
Is it me? As far as I can read nothing is said really, only some vague communication director mumble that they value their employees output to open source projects. What is said and what is showed, is not only in this case miles apart, but often is with a lot of big companies.
I recently read "Of Wolves and Men"[1] by Barry Lopez. The book is a masterpiece.

Is there a point where it becomes necessary to end the life of another person?

Maybe. Maybe if the person is obviously committed to harming others and refuses all attempts at reform. How do you know when someone is past helping? Anyway, there just aren't very many people who match this description.

As a Christian against the death penalty I find myself often in a very unexpected minority. Many Christians I know and grew up around are very pro-death-penalty, to the point of being religious about it. But even Jesus declined to carry out capital punishment when given the opportunity to (and if anyone had the right, it would be him).
Soviet union is dead, let's keep it that way
What's the difference between:

icon - explanation of the icon in your native language

word - explanation of the word in your native language

? Consider that you can type the word into google and it'll define it for you.

Do you have any evidence that laundry icons are more universally understood?

Good luck finding any place in the world without plenty of signs in latin script, at the very least.

Find someone in the world who can use a computer but doesn't know what the word WiFi is, but would recognize an icon for it he'd never seen before.
> but merely to define it better. Otherwise, how can you confirm or deny it?

On point.

How do we define consciousness itself, in fact? Self awareness? Interactivity?
You're reducing a human being to a single binary classification - evil or not evil - an assessment that ignores the circumstances of their life, mental state etc at a particular point in time.

You're also saying that you're prepared to ignore the wider impact that the act of executing that individual has on society.

On the apparent grounds that the dead victim is somehow vindicated (which I can only interpret as meaning that someone else feels that they have been vindicated).
Their employer will pay the consequence later.

The university will pay repetitional consequences for claiming that the student learned particular things which they clearly didn't.
Meanwhile, I can't even figure out how to buy domains with my name in them from people who just buy them and sit on them.
Which City Rates as Best Place to Work in Tech?
All good my friend.

I found the article to be really poor actually. It seems a lot of details were left out, possibly for maximum effect at editorializing the situation.
I think the same is true for the Rock64 from Pine64 and the Libre Computer Board ROC-RK3328-CC. And probably others based on the Rockchip SOCs.
It is the same people taking a vague and cryptic text which was probably originally about Nero Caesar and applying the same flawed pins-and-string conspiracy theory reasoning to a few cherry-picked details in order to express their constant fear of the future. The bible says a lot of things about the mark of the beast that conveniently get ignored whenever evangelicals think they've spotted it, and they think they spot it all the time. They've never been right, and they're never going to be right.
Lein’s don’t normally work that way after a boat was seized. Handing it to the remaining sailor isn’t identical, but don’t assume loans have much weight here.

The mess of US civil forfeiture laws originally showed up in maritime law such that the owners and outstanding loans became irrelevant. In effect the physical object is what’s confiscated breaking any ties to anyone that had a prior ownership stake.
Do you have any more details about how you integrated Pandoc into your pipeline? A post or something?
Whoosh. The joke is that Google owns DDG despite it being backed by Bing.

I imagine that a legal system that forces a random guy to stay trapped on a ship for four years would do something worse to someone who defies their order.
Only, eh? Direct quote from the website of Nevada's Bunny Ranch: "Moreover, a Bunny Ranch encounter is entirely discreet, taking place in a private environment where the deepest, most intimate secrets of clientele remain confidential." It would very much hurt the Bunny Ranch's reputation if they reneged on that; it seems clear that confidentiality is something many of their customers value highly.

Just because the law doesn't mandate confidentiality doesn't mean the customers won't expect it and reliably get it.
I agree, especially considering that filing a proper false DMCA takedown requires perjuring yourself:

> A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly in-fringed.

In these situations, lawyers are renting out their credibility to bully people who can’t afford to go to court even if they’re in the right.
The first half of the class they are getting used to git and version control, so I don't enforce it too closely. Generally I decompose the assignments into a number of parts, and ask for at least one commit per part. e.g. Part 1, lay out your project directories. Part 2, stub out your functions. Part 3 implement function a, etc. My students are at a level where they need this granularity of direction. They get lost easily if assignments are too open-ended.

In terms of getting them to follow the commit guidelines, I give them a carrot and a stick. The carrot is, if they start N number of questions half way to the due date, they can get a penalty-free extension if they need more time to complete the assignment. This is to incentivize students to start early. I've found one of the biggest indicators of successful students is that they start assignments early. Students who start their assignment on the due date usually run into blocking issues (software not configured properly, computer not working right, network is down) that would be trivially overcome if they had started a day or two earlier. Students who have this habit quickly correct within an assignment or two.

The stick is by the midterm, I start requiring it more strictly by subtracting points for not following the guidelines. I think of it like a math assignment; if all you provide on a math exam is the solution, you'll get little to no credit for that. Showing your process is part of the work in math, and I treat it the same way in my classes.
Are there not any open-source fonts that support the full Unicode spec?

You only need to implement glyphs people are actually using. If people are using [some glyphs] from the Unicode spec in your app, yes of course you need to use a font that implements them. How else could it possibly work? What would your alternative be?
I made something similar that runs in the browser using your webcam, mostly to visualise tracking keypoints.

It works best if you're in a well-lit place.

If it's faster or uses less memory, that's something that can be easily measured.

If it's more secure, that's harder to measure. But that's not even the tagline, just that it's written in Rust.
I'm really glad I read the disclaimer and didn't make financial decisions based on this game! I wouldn't want to count on no inflation, 4% interest, and a junior dev job straight out of high school
Thanks for the recommendation, I've been seriously considering one of these for my XPS.

As a side note I am deeply in love with my XPS 9310 (Tigerlake) on Kubuntu (kernel 4.11). Battery life is INSANE, instant wake and sleep, keeps cool, but still has thermal overhead/power (thanks to the fans) to do large kernel compiles or other serious hard work. Also the screen (I got the non-4K model) is very pretty, sometimes I just look at it and go 'wow, that looks good'. Excuse me if I gush too much.
You're sure those are ICUs full of people in critical condition due to COVID? How many went to the hospital the instant they got COVID despite lack of critical symptoms?

I don't think you're trying to be hyperbolic, I think you've been fed accurate information clothed in fear so as to lead to a bad-faith worst case interpretation of that data.

The most intelligent people I know who have the most experience in the medical field, have always suggested, and still do with the COVID vaccine, to wait a minimum of 5 years before expecting safety in something like that.

To be clear, to the response "be glad it isn't in your area", it is, I've had people directly claim to me a local hospital is overrun with patients. A friend had to goto the same hospital for unrelated reasons. Parking lot was nearly empty, calm and boring inside. Someone is lying, my friend doesn't have a trackrecord of lying, quite the opposite. The news media on the other hand, I can't say the same.
The article talks about google.com.ar, not google.ar. Secondary .ar domains are generaly not available.
It's up to a company to set its own policies around privacy and ensure employees follow them.

The fact that an employee worked somewhere with different, or opposed, privacy policies, doesn't mean they're unable to follow yours, any more than the fact that working at a company that used a 4-space-width tab to indent code means they're unable to follow your guideline of two-space indents.

What does it matter if an employee would be fine doing what you consider to be privacy invasive things at another company? If they can do the job you expect them to, following your company's privacy policies, then that's all that matters. Otherwise, their personal moral compass is absolutely none of your business, and it's offensively paternalistic to suggest otherwise.
Nice! Thanks. This will certainly help me start to thinking in semantic grep. I can see this being an additional coverage tool and am eager to study it.
I am not sure if these are the only options we have here. Did you see the list of commits that this bunch of guys sneaked in? It's quite big, it's not just 1-2. A smart attacker could have done 1 commit per month and would have been totally fine. All they needed apparently was a "good" domain name in their email. This is what I think is the root of the problem.
> Is there a point where it becomes necessary to end the life of another person? Maybe. Maybe if the person is obviously committed to harming others and refuses all attempts at reform.

Even in that instance, I can't imagine it ever being necessary to end their life. We have more than sufficient technology and resources to sustain such a hopeless case in a state in which they, and everyone else, are safe from harm.

Taking a life simply because it's inconvenient to go to the lengths to secure someone from harming others for the short time that is a natural human lifespan is... befuddling. It's such a simple and tiny expense in the grand scheme of things, and such a deep and dark cliff off which to jump to save a few pennies.
The situation in Canada changed a lot in the past 2-3 years. It used to be that hearing about people making 200k mid-career in Canada was rare, now it's becoming more common. You're still taking a ~25% pay cut compared to the US. It really depends though, if you work for a large US company in Canada you are far better off than working for a Canadian company.

> Well, seniors can make like 70-80k€ where I live, which is like the 3rd percentile in my country. Still true though, the salaries are not great compared to the US.

That also means you have no room for growth. In the US 200k/year would put you in the 10th percentile for household income. You have plenty of room to build up from there. The thing about the EU is that not only are salaries low, the ceiling is also low.
Seems you have to roll your own controller hardware though.

The Psychological Reasons for Software Project Failures
I recently sold cryptocomicbook.com and decided to list some additional domains for sale, at the exact time I listed them a handful of ua.(TLDs) got listed for sale including ua.com and whoever listed them must have done it in bulk and given them all the same price ($76).

So I bought the ua.com for $76, at that point the seller must have realized what happened and immediately changed the sales price of all the other TLDs from $76 (example ua.co went from $76 to a min of $48,000), the marketplace confirmed the seller was verified as the owner or had authority to sell ua.com. Of course after the fact the marketplace reversed the transaction, they oddly reconfirmed the seller was verified/legit (I thought they would say the seller got past their verification but wasn’t legit), and they have refused to confirm why if the seller was legit that they reversed the sale transaction.
Can be done for free if you are a good demagogue.

So could anyone have saved this guy by delivering enough fuel to get to port? I wonder what the costs would have been.
That region is experiencing a lot of chaos and I'd say that being alone on a ship is a lot safer than being alone with no passport and wanted by the law.

They had the limbo language in plan9, which has similar features and quirks. It seems most probable that the outcome of the 45 minute conversation wasn't "let's build a language from scratch", but rather "let's iterate on limbo".

The referenced white paper reminds me a lot of similar writings on things such as Intelligent Design (just to pick an example): refuting involves stopping after nearly every sentence, or paragraph at a minimum. "Whoa, stop. Let's go back over those assumptions." Every...other...sentence. It's just a bunch of smart-sounding words strung together to look coherent until you actually read what was written.

IOW, I'm just parroting what TFA said. But the referenced paper is worth a skim, if only to keep one's BS meter calibrated.
The abstract of that paper includes:

> Due to the inhibition of van der Waals adhesion at the liquid interface, the electrode was remarkably resistant to deactivation via coking caused by solid carbonaceous species.

MOXIE is solid state technology and having solid C reaction products would very likely deactivate the cell by clogging up the triple phase boundaries where the reactions occur.
Is China’s leadership confident that ‘The East is rising’?
I think that this paper is more about file storage, not web apps.

And for file storage, there are no data monopolies already. Take for example AWS S3 storage -- there are multiple providers (AWS, Backblaze or local Minio) and many, many clients in all sorts of languages.
I defer to Dang’s judgment. IMO, posting a provocative story every 7 hours seems... untoward.

While this article hasn’t been posted every 7 hours, I’ve seen others.
Hospitals here have difficulties finding space for traffic accident victims, they don't just let anyone with COVID book a space in the ICU, and never have. Seriously, be glad it isn't so bad in your area and stop trivializing it.
I question how often people are really released after 40 years in prison. It happens, but it certainly doesn't happen frequently. In fact, it's so infrequent it seems any false release after a decade or more seems to pop up in national news.

I feel like fictional accounts of long-delayed justice are more common than real ones.

Either way a tragedy occurs, but I'm not sure how much our system should be informed by ultra-rare edge cases.

I like 6 a lot, could be an avenue for legal refutation of obtained evidence (in a supposed crime or other illegal activity), 7 is a bit unnecessary.
Most people may think I’m being pessimistic and jaded. But I think these rankings are hilarious (in a bad sense). Just like the corruption rankings that come out.

The US gets a green square and a high rank, smaller countries are corrupt and unfair. I could fill up paragraphs about how corrupt and dysfunctional our (US) legal and political systems are. Meanwhile I spent a long time in Central Africa (a red square country) and know to compare.

I don’t get the purpose of these rankings.

Yes, it undermines the current NFT aggregator sites and all the hype.

The core concept of NFTs is sound, but the vast majority of NFTs I've seen encode only a URL, often for the marketplace that sold the NFT. So all you really own is a hyperlink to a company's website that likely won't be around for long.

A few NFTs encode links to the IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), which still carries some risk of the link/content being forgotten, but is probably a better way of doing this.
Side effects are minor (sometimes I get a little irritable after work as it's wearing off) and the prescription is $10/month.

But my glasses are on from when I wake up until I go to bed, and I've never felt any eye strain from them. You shouldn't need a backup pair for that reason, there's probably something wrong with your prescription.
They reversed it because it was an honest mistake and most people like to know that if they make the same mistake it can be undone.
Good to know! I've generally understood that the bar for package inclusion for both Debian and Ubuntu is fairly high (where Debian wants you to push to them and Ubuntu will pull from you).

Our setup today is simply to add an apt repo[1] (of which there is just one domain for all Microsoft Linux packages), and then you can `apt install`.

We also ship pretty minimal Ubuntu and Debian (and Alpine and a bunch of other) container images here.[2]

Oh, and we ship on the Snap Store if you're using Snapcraft stuff.

Except for the two that weren't.
I see people get integrated into society through children. You live in Berlin, you need to send your children to school, talk to the teachers, other parents. You drop your children off to the house parties, you talk about your profession in front of your child's class. German language becomes a clear necessity.

People also say joining some club helps. I did kickboxing for year, there isn't much talking as it turns out... Anyway, I was really homesick the whole time, I still am. In Russia, we don't celebrate Christmas that much, the New Year is a major holiday. That time of the year is the hardest: no familiar festive music, the street decorations are off.

I kind of accepted all that, since I decided to pursue professional and scientific opportunity instead of comfort. I still wonder if I make the right choices from time to time. I think it's natural to do that though.
Speaking as someone who has experienced a family member's murder, the death penalty would in no way "vindicate" anyone.
I suspect it is like assigning child support to fathers even if they were raped or it is not their kid.

Here's the actual paper described by the Vice article.[1]

For those who aren't familiar with the unit, a becquerel[2] is one nucleus decay per second. The highest level of Cesium radioactivity they measured was 19 becquerel per kilogram of honey. For comparison, natural potassium has around 31,000 Bq/kg.

To put it in more concrete terms: eating a kilogram of the most radioactive honey they found would be equivalent to eating two bananas.[3]

One of my colleagues had an online exam. The exam was uploaded to chegg within minutes, by multiple people. Unfortunately, the tests were personalized, so the people could be identified.

I think cheating is quite common in the undergrad years, but gets less later.
That sounds horrible, normally the courts show leniency in these cases as deporting someone that old is basically a death sentence.
