> That and given the police are more curtailed into accepting this, the whole criminal world will be less so inclined to follow those rules. After all, it maybe that some criminal organisation may be using this to identify police operatives from a database of cadet photo's.

I don't think this would be particularly useful to them. If they already have the photos, it seems trivial to compare them to members of the organization. Unless I'm mistaken, Rekognition doesn't have super-human abilities to identify people in photos, it has super-human abilities to sort through huge numbers of images looking for people. I don't doubt some enterprising soul will find a way to use this for evil, but I don't think that's going to be it.

> That said, if the police are going to do something and can, if not using Amazon, they will just use whoever is open to it or may even develop their own and with something more closed off and accessible for scrutiny - I dare say as proven in the past, certain identification biases may well play out and that is always a worry with facial recognition uses in such delicate area's.

Frankly, I think the more likely outcome is that some enterprising soul starts a company re-selling Amazon services. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Palantir started offering some kind of a thin wrapper around Rekognition.
That is a joke of a “review”, and should never have been published.

Consider that it doesn’t mention the only randomized controlled trial of masks and Covid ever performed (it showed no significant protective effect), which was conducted during the period the “review” was being compiled:

M1 macs are the first Apple devices where I feel you're getting excellent value for money and they are super affordable for what they are.

These are professional tools, you're going to need to invest into hardware to get a good experience - if you value your time at all you'll be spending a good ammount of money on a laptop, high quality chair, good desk, monitor and peripheral.

If you're an amateur or a student then you can afford to wait.

It's like me complaining that my amateur drill overheats on hard surfaces and I can't drill through stuff realiably without cracks - if I need to do a few holes here and there the cheap stuff will do, if I do this for a living I'm expected to have gear that will save me time and improve my results.

Performance is a feature, and it doesn't rank very high past some critical threshold (which is why people switched to VSCode - other features matter more)

Haha, this is so true. Good observation! With that said, I live in China so most of the books are translated versions so:

1. They're substantially cheaper, the total of those books should be around $100 while the monitor mounts me more than $140

2. Those classical tech books are usually translated by the same publication so the design and size are satisfyingly the same.

It is one of the small things I feel grateful for. Books in China generally cost like $6 ~ $18. The first time I see the price tag of English books it was just jaw-dropping.

This is the interpretation that leads you to imagine what a fractional Fourier transform might be: a rotation other than 90 degrees in the vector space you described. Interesting, if esoteric.
If it really runs inside the Browser: How did they implement adapters for networking and crypto/tls?

I mean, a console is nice and all. But I'm highly sceptic as to how the filesystem and networking works, because fetch cannot be used to have dgram or tls/net sockets. And that is literally the primary reason nodejs exists.

> when I come out and say the experience sucks and the very next reply is "actually it is great" it is hard not to read that as evangelism.

Let's review. You said that the Linux desktop experience is "awful" and provided no evidence whatsoever for your claim. The reply to you, "It's actually pretty great" at least provided a couple of points in favor of believing that the situation on the Linux desktop is good, at least for some people.

From where I'm standing you're the evangelist, insisting that their own picture of how a Linux desktop should be architected is the only good way with no evidence. Claiming that the way things are currently done is garbage, with no real evidence. I think it's totally unfair for you to claim that you were just giving your opinion and then had other people walk all over you and "tell you what you do and don't want in an OS".

Rather, what people in this thread have been trying to get across (I think) is that we like Linux the way it is. We think it's "pretty great". We don't want to see it change because a bunch of tech "evangelists" (if you'll pardon the expression) think static linking and AppImages are a much better way to do things. Sure at the end of the day that's "subjective" (meaning it's the result of us finding certain things valuable that not everyone else finds valuable), but, well, so are any alternative conceptions of the Linux desktop.

Thanks for introducing the multi select feature in text editing. There may have been other editors before which had but Sublime was where I first encountered this and where it felt natural.
It has saved me countless keystrokes!

I'm not familiar with that study, but I think it's important to note that the PNAS article was submitted mid-2020, so it's hard to understand your criticism here.
It's not a huge leap, but it still doesn't mean that UB by definition means that the compiler is allowed to assume UB doesn't happen. Allowing the compiler to assume this is one reasonable result of this definition (I give an example of how this reasoning works somewhere else), but it is not equivalent to the definition of UB, in principle.
I cannot overstate how a _really_ bad idea it is to register your most important asset, your email, on someone else's domain. I wish we techies would teach this to non computer literates, yet I see plenty software engineers doing this very rookie and dangerous mistake.

You are here talking specifically of N95 masks, not cloth masks, and this is only true for the very few that properly use masks. Doctors are required to not touch N95 mask and dispose of them after each use. Viruses can live for up to 24hrs on a mask and spread from you touching the mask then another surface.

Covid survives for 30 seconds in sunlight, so wearing a mask outside is bad on balance as you breathe in your own CO2 and reduce oxygen intake which both have negative health effects (especially during exercise).

Mozilla's current position on the specs:

> The ability to read and write from the filesystem is potentially very dangerous. We will need to carefully consider any solution in light of the security and privacy implications. We recognize that the spec authors take this issue seriously, but we are concerned that any solution will increase the risk of security incidents more than we are willing to tolerate.

> Right now, there isn't enough detail in the specification to make an assessment of these risks, so we will defer our decision until we have more information.

FWIW, there's a ST keymap extension for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

That's the first thing I installed when I switched (years ago now) and it made the process surprisingly seamless.
I used the MSNet client on real physical hardware back in the mid-90s. I don't remember seeing the terrible write speeds depicted in the article. The DOS machines I'm thinking about targeted Windows NT 3.51 as the server.

I wonder about the behavior being introduced due to higher CPU speeds. Slowing the VM down to the speed of a machine contemporaneous to the code might yield some insights.
It still doesn’t suck?
Congratulations on the release!
And I assume you were also trained in how to use the masks properly so that they didn't increase chance of virus spread and only used N95 masks? E.g. don't touch mask and dispose/clean the mask after each use.

Almost nobody does this, and many use cloth masks.
Congrats on the release!

I was an avid user (and paying customer!) of ST1 and ST2. Somewhere along the way I switched to VS Code. Why should I use ST4 over VS Code today?
I mean... I would hope pretty much anything opens ~instantly on the most absolute cutting edge custom-designed SoC from one of the richest companies in the world. hahah ;)
I don't get really get this "quickly" thing. I just checked, on my 2014 MBP my VSCode takes < 3 seconds to open a project from shutdown, including opening 14 files. Checking Sublime Text 3 it's faster (1.5 seconds?) but 3 seconds it's not enough for me to care.

I tested "Visual Studio". It takes ~10-12 seconds. For some reason VSC code fits within my threshold of "fast enough I don't feel like I had to wait at all" where as visual studio feels like I'm waiting. I guess your threshold is lower than mine though.

I’ve lived in Oregon most my life. Not unlike Washington (or many other states), when you get out of the metro areas the voting turns from “blue” to “red” pretty quickly. East of Bend has significantly more in common with Idaho than the valley (Portland, Salem, Eugene) or the coast- in fact there is a section of eastern Oregon even in the Mountain time zone. Once you get 200+ miles east of Portland, you’re closer (and more likely) to go to Boise than you’ll ever come to Portland.

For reference, Baker City, a larger eastern Oregon population center, is approximately 300 miles from Portland and about 140 from Boise. Pendleton may be about equidistant. I’ve got acquaintances and friends that have only been to the western side of the state a few times in their life and they’re more likely to spend their time in Idaho or Nevada than come west.

The way of life out there is completely foreign to most on the western side of the state, and the eastern side thinks the west is full of “crazy liberals”. It’s been that way my whole life, but the last few years have made it seem completely broken.

I spend a lot of time out east, whether it is Idaho or Oregon, I’ll still spend my time out there- but I’d love to find a way to prevent the divorce (that they’ve been talking about since before I was born).
Yes. VS Code is too damn slow.
The one I’m using is $1000. That’s a bit pricey, but strikes me as reasonable value for money. Especially since this is the best performing laptop I’ve ever used.

I remember reading that the problem was not that it was some ingenious cipher, as many would believe based on the headlines, but that the Zodiac had made several errors encoding his message. Apparently he had used an algorithm out of an old army handbook, but he botched it so badly that the message would ordinarily be indecipherable. I find it funny that it was only figured out once they took a different perspective and stopped overestimating a mentally ill serial killer.

Agreed. Set up your terminal to automatically come to the front with a keyboard shortcut. To me this seems better than having it built in to the editor in every way.
To some extent, though the committee has not moved to make this definition explicit in the standard (UB = behavior the compiler is free to assume can't happen), for one reason or another.
Neato, that's pretty awesome! Can keep your main machine freed up to deal with actual editing and other usage, while the remote server does all the "heavy lifting". Thanks for the info!

The whole set of Remote Development extensions is a game changer. You can be remote and it feels like being local with the terminal, debugger, files and language server.

To me, this is infinitely more readable:

let mut input = ["select", "*", "from", "potato"];
for i in 1..input.len() {
if ["select","*"] == input[i-1..=i] {
input[i] = "_";
}
}

If I could be bothered to dig up a Haskell compiler, I'm sure it's possible to do a one-liner list comprehension that is both terse and readable.

If I was doing this in Rust, it's easy to create an iterator extension that does something like "map_lookback" which explains the intention without requiring comments.

I'm going to be blunt: Unreadable array languages are popular with quants because they work in a highly competitive, cut-throat industry where "write only" languages provide job security. I've come across developers purposefully obfuscating code by using only one-character identifiers and zero comments. One of them literally blackmailed their employer, demanding their salary be doubled on the grounds that there was no chance their code could be maintained by anyone else. He should have gone to jail for that, but he had his managers by the balls, got what he wanted, and bought a house with cash soon after.

Why are we applauding this?

> I suspect that in locations with a higher prevalence of masking the population is generally more vigilant: more hand washing, more social distance, stay at home when ill, avoid obviously ill people, and so on. May be a case of correlation, not causation.

The states with the highest mask use (NYC, CA) has some of the highest covid positive rates, so the data does not seem to back up your assertion.
And coming at it inversely, I've also seen some hypotheses that neurons are a bit more autonomous than many think, and that the brain could be seen as a complex colony of billions of single-celled organisms working together, with some analogies to aspects we see in large-scale human coordination problems and game theory.
I'm in the top 30% income bracket in the country I live in. I would need to spend 2/3 of my monthly income for 30 years on a mortgage to buy a 3-room flat (for a small family) in the city I live in. But first I need another ~3 years to save enough for the down payment.

It feels monumental and I think I will rather move to the countryside (grew up there anyway) and try to find another job there. I can build a big house there for half the price of a 3 room flat here.

I honestly don't know that to tell the lower 50% of the income bracket. They have no chance in this game. They will perpetually have to pay rent, distributing 1/3 of their income to someone richer than themselves.
