> I don’t understand? Why not make the memory representation sympathetic with the operations you’re going to do on it?

There's no reason to, as there's no reason not to. It's basically irrelevant.

If carrier passing is so important, why can't you just mirror your transistors and operate on the same wires, but on the opposite order? Well, you can, and it's trivial. (And, by the way, carrier passing isn't important. High performances ALU pass carrier only though blocks, that can appear anywhere. And the wiring of those isn't even planar, so how you arrange them isn't a showstopper.)

If you're still drinking drip coffee from a machine, PLEASE acquire and use a french press. It's so much better, easier, cleaner, and more personal. You choose how clean the vessel is, how strong the coffee is, how much coffee to make, etc.

In my own case, having a single toddler is about a 20% increase in expenses, and that's not even accounting for saving for college, or how much it would cost if we wanted more space. It's easy to imagine being relatively comfortable in the Bay Area but not feeling financially comfortable about having kids.
Just install Authy on your computer with a master password for the personal account. No second phone needed. Or install Authy on your phone, but I can't tell if you are saying you only have a work phone and no personal phone? Or is it visa versa? I'm having trouble picturing your setup

Edit: If you already have two phones due to your work life separation, then 2FA isn't really causing you to get a second phone is it?
there are other solutions to accomplish the same goal (edit: maybe not all of the whatsapp features though), but it requires a bit of work.
I believe the reason they did that was to allow whatsapp to keep working when they decided to update the voip notification behavior on ios 12 (or 13 ?) and stop forwarding voip if the app didn't actually trigger an "incoming call" screen after the notification has arrived.
This article is sort of a mess and I find it difficult to imagine anyone could learn about email from reading it. Too often it starts with something misleading and only clarifies later. For example, at first is says that recipients are given by headers in the message, but of course this is not the case. Recipients are part of the envelope. Envelope recipients are sometimes derived from the message, but sometimes not. I think it would be better to explain the SMTP envelope recipients first, which would lay the groundwork to explain that sometimes the recipients might be derived from RFC-822 header fields created by an MUA. But it's important to understand this might not always be true (there might not have been an MUA involved, or a webmail system with integrated mailer, like Gmail, might not need to put blind recipients in the message).
You don't always necessarily need to choose one or the other.

Frequently there exists perfectly good compromise that has almost the benefit of best latency and almost the best throughput.

For example, you have a batch process to process 1 million elements to return a response.

You can either process all 1 million elements together and then return response (best throughput at the cost of waiting until everything is processed) or stream results of each one item as they are being processed (best latency but you pay additional cost per item).

But there is possibility you can process them in batches of 100? 1000? This means all the additional costs of processing items individually are amortized to something like 1/100th or 1/1000th of the original cost but you still are getting first piece of response very soon (1/1000th or 1/10000th of what you would have to wait if you processed everything in one go).

I am currently building large scale trade processing systems using those rules to stream what would traditionally be a batch process, and so far this works beautifully and applies neatly to wide range of problems.

Why? This makes absolutely no sense. It's the same thing as macOS' windows not closing when you close them. It's stupid. They should copy Windows on what makes sense.
Modern technology allows us to seriously meddle with nature within a generation or two, whereas always prior it might've taken a few tens. Over time though, we've had thousands of generations to make our mark.

I fundamentally believe that a lot of our desertified or at least somewhat dessicated Earth - around the mediterranean, sahara and middle east at least - is significantly due to our historical industry.
No, scientists get paid (usually) by their institution. Often, they'll even have to pay to publish ("page charges", charges for illustrations, etc.), and also to make it openly accessible (although to be fair, at that point their works aren't sold anymore; the author's payment is the source of profit).

Even established, tenured scientists will often need to obtain grants and will still be judged by where they publish. Though there's also, of course, quite some institutional inertia and people just not caring, since it doesn't affect them personally. And of course, there are also a lot of (established) academics who do care.
Amazingly well done, nice work!

The mind-blown moment for me was when I typed `cat my-` into the terminal and hit Tab, and it actually tab-completed the filename :D Nice touch.
They are the product authenticators. You know people bring their antiques to the antique TV show and ask the antique authenticators to verify the authenticity of the items. It’s the same kind of service. Kudos for them to make a business out of it.
> I have a Google account for work. I don't have a work issued computer.

Which must mean you're using personal equipment and you're not doing what the previous person was talking about, which was:

> It is very common to arrange your life so that you are able to 'hand in' all work devices and walk away.

Context matters. I was arguing a specific point based on a scenario the previous individual was posing. That scenario apparently doesn't apply to you, in which case, go argue with that person, because it wasn't my claim.

Now, if we want to talk about your specific circumstance, if you're using personal equipment to access a work account, stick a TOTP authenticator on your personal device.

I honestly don't understand what's confusing about this.
This goes for San Francisco retail shops but also I'm sure other places: Some of the stores don't open till noon. Some are only open 3 days a week. Some stores are open the days the other stores are closed. I'm talking about some of the most popular retail storefronts in SF.

There are no good options. I went through this recently where I had to call different stores on 3 separate days, waiting till 10am, 11am, or 12pm. And you still don't know the product you are asking about is really the one you are after. There are so many versions of products and specific use cases nowadays.
He looks similar in size to plenty of Welsh farmers that I know. I suspect that eating a tin of beans every day isn't the best.
If this is for deserialisation then it's okay for x[0] to be signed. You just need to recast the result as int32_t (or simply assign to an int32_t variable without any cast) and it is not UB.
Just FYI this is available from Apple on request by any developer, you just need to write to them to explain the use case. I guess this is just to prevent abuse.

The previous posters experience resonates much more with me than your experience.

Even when you do go to a shop you are often redirected online. That item isn't in stock on the computer. No attempt to upsell you or suggest an alternative which they might have in stock. It's no wonder high street stores are dying out.

To be fair, small specialist stores are usually much better. I even got a call back from a company the last time I was trying to buy a specific BBQ. Sadly they didn't have it in stock and a day or two later I found it online.
I live in the US too. I wasn't asking "where wasn't shut-down?", I was asking "where was it _safe and responsible_ to leave your home for non-essential reasons?". Just because a facility has opened, does not magically make it safe to attend.

Don't get me wrong, I don't equate $150K to peanuts, far from it,but my point is that if a project of such success brings this much,what chances people have with smaller projects that are good but nowhere near to Vue JS popularity.
> People who consider something from the 1960's or 70's to be "too old" are really missing out on so much amazing literature.

I completely agree. Personally I read fairly widely in a temporal sense, as long as the story engages me I'll run with it. I think the point I was trying to make is that a lot of folks can be put off by scifi thinking it's a genre brim full of space lasers, FTL space craft and nasty aliens and not much else; when in fact it's much much more than that. This part of the interview stood out as evidence of that:

> This was when she got the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contributions to American Letters in 2014; in her speech she not only thanked the committee for giving her the award, but said it was high time that speculative fiction writers were recognised as participants in the culture of literature, instead of being sort of segregated to a ghetto—she called them “realists of a larger reality.” And she reminded everyone how important science fiction is because the genre is about “writers who can see alternatives to how we live now.”

But sadly it's been a long time, if ever (I haven't checked), since we saw any speculative fiction making it onto shortlists or winning prizes on say the Booker Prize[0], because it's not "literary" enough (bloody snobs).

Finally I should also say that I also enjoy a good rip-roaring interstellar and galactic scale space opera as much as I enjoy more nuanced writing.

Its not about the technical reason, it's about optics.
You pre-approve system apps location access during iOS first setup, but you do not for camera access.
Basically, all privacy toggles should be opt-in, not opt-out, even for system apps, even though Apple could easily bypass that for their own apps.

Gambit just demoed their faster variant of it, but hop still looks more impressive to me.

Nice, a fine the citizens will pay. What’s this, additional taxes?
Having a system-wide package manager where nearly all libraries are dynamically linked also has its drawbacks.

A seemingly minor update might cause a huge cascade of dependency updates which causes common Linux distributions to tend to one of these two extreme solutions:
Either fix all packages in place and freeze their version numbers or just "give up" and update everything all the time. Both solutions feel like compromises to me.

Other end-user OSes don't act like this. On Android/iOS/macOS/Windows, I can have the latest 3rd party software without having to deal with intrusive updates to the OS infrastructure all the time.
The BSDs handle this better, and maybe something like Ubuntu LTS + Nix on top of it might be a way around this.
This is pretty common on the NHS. Also, as Wales is a devolved nation, we can plough more money into the NHS than happesn in England. Also less privatisation.
Chocolatey is like 10x slower than Linux package management.
Thank you. Some new vocabulary with Smithy: Prelude, Shapes, and Traits (https://awslabs.github.io/smithy/1.0/spec/core/model.html ). With all the evolution, the lineage story would find an audience, I bet.
Because I use a 55" TV a lot, and it's useful to make Preview or whatever just big enough that I can see an entire page without being too big to fit in the "comfortable reading" part of the screen. (I also like the App/Window/Document model of macOS)

> Schiller and the other people receiving the email wanted to figure out how to shore up its protections in light of their discovery that the static analyzer Apple used wasn’t effective against the newly discovered method.

Yes, I totally believe that Apple did not know about NSInvocation and the half a dozen other ways to dynamically call methods.
The answer to this questions is always parallelism.

Pipeline to minimize latency without violating dependencies then stamp out.
Do you use UBSAN and ASAN? When you write unit tests do you feed numbers like 0x80000000 into your algorithm? When you allocate test memory have you considered doing it with mmap(4096) and putting the data at the end of the map? (Or better yet, double it and use mprotect). Those are some good examples of torture tests if you're in the mood to feel haunted.
As I said I cant really remember which is which. Or maybe the Dispossed was about two worlds and only the other one was hostile and cold?
Why are you harassing and insulting them in the first place? Nobody taught you how to speak politely?
Here is a possible suggestion, let me know if there are problems with it. Install Authy on your phone and backup the 2FA secret key in the same password manager that you have the work password stored. That will allow you to effectively share the account (2FA included) and fully relinquish control if you leave. Would that work?
True, the scale does matter.
Well you just need to marry a via operative and you can get away with it too.
"and ghasp talk to real people"

Why add the "gasp" bit? A lot of people don't want to have to talk to people unnecessarily and they certainly don't need to justify themselves. And let's be real: When you talk to someone at a local store you're usually talking to some completely unmotivated teenager who knows positively nothing about the domain and makes everything take much, much longer.

Buying local versus online is playing out identically to the buy downtown rather than at the mall transition: Instead of offering concrete benefits, there is an attempt to control behavior by shaming. It is completely ineffective. "Why efficiently find exactly what you're looking for at a competitive price when you can instead waste your time talking to a lot of different people, doing what you very much don't want to do, to eventually buy something not quite right for more?"
True, but their race is barely even noticeable in the book, and they only even appear in maybe the first 20 pages.

The book is really not about race, and racial issues are pretty much non-existent in the book.
Even if you are a hard-boiled negotiator, the additional time it takes to visit different stores to make the comparison often isn’t worth it compared to buying the whatever the first floor associate recommends to you.
Nearby (unrelated to this extension, AFAICT) is a company that creates a unified online storefront for local shops and they handle the separate ordering, pickup, and delivery to shoppers:

“On Nearby, they shop across multiple local stores, in one basket, with one checkout, and no fuss. After a customer checks out, we place orders with you and the other stores, and do the work of putting the order together.”

> Do scientist get any of the profit from paper sales?

No. And most of the time, if you want a paper that's behind a paywall, email the corresponding author and they'd be delighted to know that someone on the planet actually cares, and then email you a pdf, copyright be damned.

Honestly, sci-hub is the best website of the last decade; I use it every day. It works better than the publishers' websites (that I have legitimate access to). It's just excellent. It's founder should be made a saint.
This isn't really a bad thing. There are lot of enterprisey distros that I absolutely despise the package management and culture. If they all operated under one I can only imagine how political the whole process would be to get anything accomplished.
I can also remove SMS as 2FA on my account, but I’ve had to give a phone number on all my accounts at different points in time, and they got confirmed by SMS.

What I was pointing at is not that SMS is the only option but that the phone number + confirmation seems mandatory at least once.

Which is a fun reference but this isn't exactly parsing and I think using one regex to process escapes would actually fix the problem.

I know you are referencing something, but in this case it's a very legit question, Eurasian magpies are corvidae (and remarkably clever ones at that), while the ones found in America or Australia aren't.

The article says the "municipality" is fined. So where does the money come from? From the same citizens the municipality tracked, is that correct? Is it fair to say that citizens who were tracked ended up paying the fine, indirectly of course, through taxes? How is this punishing the people who were responsible for this in the first place?

The "Clips" app is not as first party as the built-in camera app is. I mean, it still comes from Apple, but it is ONLY distributed as an additional download in the app store. You know, via the same app store we're supposed to trust to sandbox us from malware.

That changes the game completely!

You're conditioned to trust and think iOS and its app store has a permission system, so you can go crazy and download and install any app you want, safe in the knowledge they won't access your camera without your permission.

And then suddenly there's this magic nondescript app "Clips" in the same app store... that just bypasses the entire thing.
This widens my immediate perspective, thanks. One can get caught up in the topic as framed.

And great points: > "Not fitting comfortable into a genre" is so bland a compliment!"

> Steve Reich wrote several pieces of tape music (processed tape recordings) back in the 70s that were a huge hit (in avant circles), but then he went to study in Ghana and decided that this was a mistake. He felt that the purpose of music was for humans to play and sing together as a group activity, and that pre-recorded music did not fulfill this very deep human need.

That is very interesting. (Also, I've only heard Reich's music live, but I've never played along.) In folk music, it is a core belief (long ignored): It's music for folks. Woody Guthrie's songs were written so anyone could play or sing them, as I understand the story. His successors often played more complicated and challenging stuff, much that ordinary people couldn't hope to perform or isn't singalong music. It's hard to imagine sitting around a bar or a living room or out under the stars, singing 'Like a Rolling Stone' together.
Come and visit Wales, specifically Mid-Wales, like say Lampeter, or Newcastle Emlyn. Go to a pub in the evening and have a chat to some of the local farmers, if you buy the beer, they'll be chatty enough.
So one company running wild without government intervention selling a controlled highly addictive narcotic negates all medical discoveries by big pharma since the dawn of time including the record breaking speed of making a COVID vaccine? Yeah okay…
Cute analogy, but kind of begs the question that you know how much you are going to do/want. In many situations, that 2 is unknown.

Even the example of a bus begs the question that you know how many people will take it.

Instead, I like the view that you maximize your options. If you know you will definitely want two cups of coffee, get something that makes that more automatic. If you may decide that the one cup is enough, go with what lets you change your mind easily.

For the bus, you provide the option at a regular interval so that some folks can weigh that against the cost of a car.

Throughput and latency, then, fall off in absolute significance to optionality. Note, they don't disappear. Such is the nature of all trade offs playing against each other.
ABI Mistakes
I don't know. I understand what you are saying, but if there was just one Linux desktop it would almost certainly have to be tailored to the lowest common denominator user and it would end up just being a less polished MacOC version. The fragmentation forces some degree of interoperability which enables more specialized and innovative approaches, like tilling window managers,functional package managers, weird shell languages. In other words, the fragmentation might be an innovation and specialization enabling feature, rather than a bug.
One thing I couldn’t figure out by skimming through the article is who performs the actual authentication (checking if an item is counterfeit)? Is it the two founders? Do they have a team working on this?
What I find the most fascinating is that a single person, possibly with the help of a few select others, is able to curate, index, host, and serve 85% of scholarly literature[0] which otherwise would be inaccessible to many.

80 million papers are available on Sci-Hub to its half a million daily users.[1] That is around 80 TB of data, and 2 TB of daily outbound traffic.[2]

Given the fact that Sci-Hub has achieved all those whilst being forced to operate under the radar, I have massive respect for Elbakyan first and then all the others that have helped it survive. Not only Sci-Hub is an undeniable disruption, but also an amazing technical feat that many startups would envy.

> some big companies trust us

Can't the infosec community define and setup a "trust" network?

E.g. everybody trusts a number of people, and trust can be transitive (perhaps with weights). Hence when I read some review the network can compute a trustworthiness value. If the product turns out to be fake, the system can do a backprop and adjust weights. Etc. etc.
