Have you tried taking a cell phone photo of a moving object far in the distance and with less than ideal lighting? You won’t get a good result if you can even capture it.

Photographing something like this would probably require a DSLR type camera with a great zoom/telephoto lens. I would expect they have that equipment on military ships, but I don’t think the ubiquity of cell phone cameras has significantly changed the ability to photograph this kind of phenomenon.
> What's terrible about truthy and falsy?

Basically it's very error prone. It's difficult to remember the rules which are usually quite complicated which leads to mistakes.

Much better just to be explicit.

> How do you even have a language without a definition of what is truthy and what is falsy?

You make it so that `if` only works on `bool` types, and don't implicitly convert other types to `bool`. For example if you want to check if string is non-empty, then you have to do `if (the_string != "") {` rather than `if (the_string) {`, which may cause your code to unexpectedly fail if e.g. the string is "false".
True, but maybe they feel the need to posture?
Furthermore, how would they have a clue what our devices are, or are capable of if they are not already here at the ground level?
Seems cool, not sure if I want a bunch of 150 year olds voting (relatively, that would be like people born in 1870 voting today, 5 years after slavery ended).
> binaries compiled with that particular compiler are de-facto under GPLv3, and you have to abide by its terms (eg. if a customer using these binaries requests the source code)

You'll be violating the terms that allow you to use the compiler if your source code isn't GPL licensed. That doesn't mean your source code is automatically converted to GPL. It just means you don't have a right to use the compiler or to distribute the binaries you've produced with it.
My complaint about Wordpress is always about how frequently it gets attacked. I have had multiple wordpress websites hacked even after keeping them regularly updated and even after having special "security" plugins such as Wordfence installed, the application firewall installed etc.

It puts too much of a burden on the site owner from a security perspective.

Quite frankly, Wordpress leaks like a sieve. I wish this wasn't true because it is really one of the best/most accessible CMSs around. If they fix the security issues, it would just be wonderful.
And AZTEC on Ethereum.
This always strikes me as one of those "too busy thinking about whether they can to ask if they should" scenarios.

The earth is already packed with billions of people, most of whom live rather miserable existences. It seems like there are nearly infinite other things we ought to improve before we start trying to keep them along for many extra decades.

Reality is that so much research focuses here because the rich and powerful desperately want to defeat death, not because it will be good for humanity in general. On toward the age of the methuselahs, I suppose.
My contrarian view on this:

If you need extreme focus to work with your code, that code is garbage.

Well written and well factored code is easy to get work done in, and you don't need to keep a zillion things in mind to navigate it.

Of course, reality is that the code most people work in is some level of garbage, and maybe there isn't much you can do about that. Either because you're not in charge, or you don't have the skills to improve the code.
But many would argue that there is damage to society from that, too.
I have/wrote a one line auto hot key script for typing in strings in fields that don’t allow paste. Originally intended for a tax program that doesn’t allow pasting banking passwords. The pain of making a mistake and have to enter a 30+ character password over and over still haunts me.

Also, if you have a problem contact their customer support. I had a tweet get a few hundred likes about a non pastable field for a transportation website and they actually changed it later that week!
Is that created universe in 6 "days" time or modern calendar time?
And are (were, maybe modern browsers fixed that by now?) sent in HTTP Referers to linked sites, end up in browser history, ...
3 of those are related to DataChannels in WebRTC, which at this point is baked into the standard and can't be replaced by another protocol. The SCTP in DataChannels is quite limited, that subset is reasonable to implement somehow.

Only the last one is really general purpose and has had a lot of security issues as well.

Fun fact: I do work on one of those implementations and with another one, and it's out of necessity rather than a career choice.
Aliens! jk it's never aliens. It's a fun rabbit hole to go down though that leaves you feeling exhausted and gaslit. I recommend it if you have been missing those feelings since January 2020.

$3 for color themes and a reader mode? I don't like how it creates negative incentives to make regular twitter readable. I often see poeple here already complaining that threads are hard to read, and this could make it worse.

Edit: also quick undo. So they are monetizing the lack of basic features and their restrictions on clients. I don't really like the idea.

There are multiple documented cases where a person caught COVID twice (where the two instances were genetically different, and therefore not a false positive caused by lingering dead virus).

The linked article only indicates that antibody production should continue for a long time, but that's only one factor in robust long-term immunity. The rate of antibody production and the set of proteins that the antibodies target are also very important.

It's good news to be sure, but it doesn't yet prove what you seem to want it to.
Maybe both, depends on the theater. Over water, I agree the F15X is the better option.
It's what happens when you have one side controlling the media (I'm referring to the Zionists in case that wasn't clear).
Along these lines, I wish people would be extremely specific about what their eyes actually saw versus what they inferred. As you say, what Fraver saw seems to have been a reflective object that seemed to be close to the water’s surface, which vanished, and then later possibly another reflective object some distance away. If I wanted to do a magic trick along these lines, I would have two silver balloons a distance apart, pop one and then draw attention to the other. This would make it seem like the first had flown impossibly fast. I’m not saying this is what happened, but this sort of thing has to be considered when the only other explanation being offered is completely outlandish.
That if you build ada yourself your binaries later either have the runtime exception or that they do not need it.
I don't doubt that at all but would love to see the evidence! I'm wondering how they show that, maybe DNA sequencing of T-cell receptor sequence? Or is it only through reactivity if specific proteins? Off to search about T-cell repertoire data...

If "what is considered true in a conditional" is literally only `true` then a language has no "truthy" values.

I mean, you're free to interpret it how you want but nobody else would agree with your definition.
There's a difference between privacy and secrecy. If I'm involving my bank, what I'm doing is already not secret. My bank knows. But normally they keep those things private, because it's generally not anybody's business.

There are occasions where society's interest in preventing crime outweighs personal privacy, and one way to look at that is that when something (like, say, ransomware) has an effect on other people, it can no longer be reasonably called private. When that happens, as long as there are reasonable checks and balances, I'm fine with banks giving out information, especially when it's organizations that generally respect the privacy of the people involved.
At 1km/s^2 after one second you would be 0.5 km away. (Average speed over that second is half the final speed, or just memorize s = 0.5at^2, whichever is preferred.)
Technically, it would comparatively excel at launching 64K+ applications at once, but yes - flash is not quite amazing at launching 20 applications serially.
Ego or malice.
After sharing this view for many years, I now realize how selfish it is. Now that I am a consultant working directly for entrepreneurs, it's clear that my job is to both deliver software AND to be as available as possible. You can build tools and strategies to get back to what you were doing. If you are that fragile, you've got some growing to do.
Something really annoys me about developers acting like we are the only people on earth who have to think and focus to get work done. I'm not convinced programming is sufficiently different from any other skilled job.

Whining about how your "flow state" can't be interrupted because of how extraordinarily creative and artistic you are is just pretentious.
There are alternatives ( at least around the World ), that include a limited range of conclusions from "true", "imprecise", "out of context", "manipulated" to "false".
What about the fact that a VERY small sacrifice on your part of getting a vaccine plays a VERY small part in preventing an older or compromised person from getting VERY sick?

> we're giving the vaccine to perfectly healthy people in America and no one gives it a second thought!

You always give vaccines to healthy people.

>> And no one will care at all about your vaccine.

I'm quite confident you'll get a vaccine when you need proof to go on your week's vacation to some beach country, or any similar personal impact.
It’s near impossible to get a smartphone to focus on a tiny, distant moving target. Next time you hear a plane overhead, snap some photos and see for yourself
Assuming the American military industrial complex doesn't already have a blank check and actually needs to justify spending anything to anyone, why would they concoct a threat as implausible as "aliens" when something more mundane, like "foreign drones" would be more likely to work?
Yes, just append ?mod=djemalertNEWS to WSL article URLs bypasses the WSJ paywall.

There are also various WebExtensions to auto-bypass paywalls, I expect this trick is known by them.
History is certainly full of trumped up threats. Japanese internment camps come to mind. I'm not sure Soviet ICBMs were trumped up, but the ability to target and intercept them with 1980s technology would certainly seem to be.
I tried to advocate for this at my current workplace but got a lot of pushback from people who said they didn't want to spend their whole day in meetings (even if it's just one working day out of 10). Others said they had so many meetings they couldn't possibly find enough time to have that many meetings in a day (doesn't make sense to me but that's a direct quote). Clarified here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27316534

Now I'm realizing my job is actually to attend meetings. I should ask for a raise! Though in reality I'm just going to quit soon.

The sweet irony is that this meeting heavy company of 50ish people uses Zoom without pro accounts...it's enough to make a grown man cry.
> but a clear picture of a UFO has not shown up.

Obviously the aliens have some anti surveillance tech that renders our cameras less useful!
Smith-Corona was the #1 worldwide most recognized brand. I was contracting there when they shut down, as typewriter purchases practically ended (in favor of personal computers).

Kodak was the name in photography, with few viable competitors. When I heard (internally) their 5-year plan to address the onset of digital photography, I knew they were doomed. Individual purchases of film cameras plummeted, favoring digital cameras, and thus individual choices ended chemical photography within months.

Likewise hundreds of other corporate examples. Market-dominating businesses falter and fail, time and again, because individuals choose another option - LOTS of individuals. Every purchase & interaction is an individual choice. Comes a point when the juggernauts are no longer chosen by enough.

I've been on social media since the days of dial-up BBSes. I watched AOL and CompuServe rise, seemingly steamrolling the digital world to dominance; then ... they vanished almost overnight. Likewise other media juggernauts (usenet, MySpace, Second Life, etc), unstoppable until individual users cumulatively decided to go elsewhere. "But Facebook/Twitter/etc are different!" No they're not. They're showing the same life cycle others did, albeit with a couple more digits in user count. They're showing the same cracks (over-moderation, boredom, "nobody goes there 'cuz it's too packed") as others have done. We're due for a new platform populated by mass migration of cumulative individuals.

Ultimately, it's your choice. What life do you want to live? Sure it's easy to go with the crowd, and deviation may be difficult ... but the choice is yours. And theirs. Live the life you want, be true to yourself - and you may be surprised how many make the same choice, in part because you did.
IMO, if Julia lacks the necessary tooling, don't over-advertise it. When I say the lack of static compilation is a design problem, I mean such a critical feature should be in v1.0. Without it, many common tasks in other languages become difficult in Julia. For language adoption, you often only have one chance. If you push someone away, it is much harder to win them back.
Hi from Argentina! [I.E. I don't have any idea about what happens in Canada but I can guess :) .]

I'll try to add some contributions to open source. Try to pick a project you are using and start with small contributions. (Fixing typos is a good starting point.) A small contribution is a good idea because you never know if it is not in the vision of the maintainer, or the maintainer is a moron.

Do you have a blog? It's probably not very useful for your CV, but sometimes you can be lucky. Also if you post here, use your real name (or your well known pseudonym).

> I also mentor under privileged students at an ngo.

Can they provide some king of written record if necessary. (Anyway, if you like the activity or you think it's important, continue with it. Sometimes you must do things in spite they are difficult to put in your CV.)

Recommendation letter are important, so try to take the last elective courses of your degree with professors that work in an are related to the topic or your master, and are publishing in well know journals (and are not jerks).

Also, try to use the spellchecker. Your post have a few mistakes. I make so many mistakes that the red pixels in my screen are almost dead, but I try to fix them before posting. Correct grammar in overvalued, so try to fix as many errors as possible.
Setting aside other common issues like senility with age which could impact a person's competency to vote, do you hold a similar prejudice for people born before desegregation of schools and other institutions?
Even a Navy pilot has no actual basis or experience on which they can justify a claim to "visually identify" a 100+g acceleration. The downwash, sure (though it's just as likely they simply didn't see it, it was obscured, or had the craft been a few inches lower you'd see it).
I seriously feel pissed about all the wonders of the future I'll never get to witness. All the things the human race is going to do. All the places it will go.

Of course, that's assuming our species doesn't suffer a biotech apocalypse before then.
Did the lifestyle of people actually decrease from the 60s to today? I don’t think that is possibly true. Pretty much no American man would choose to go back in time and live in the 1960s (at the age of 25) given the extra purchasing power... or any intervening time in between.
All cloud services.

Personal computers and devices are not allowed to talk to each other on the internet. They are only allowed to talk to specially designated servers -- specially designated by virtue of having a public IPv4 and open port. Enforcement happens through liability: if you put data in a cloud service and the cloud service gets hacked, it's the cloud service's fault, but if you run a program on an open port and the program gets hacked, it's your fault, not the program's fault. This is an arbitrary social choice that follows directly from enshrining NAT as a "best practice." Even the term "open port" presupposes that there is something unnatural about plebian computers talking to each other on the open internet! This effectively forces services to be centralized, or at least pushes very strongly in that direction.

Of course, we can quibble: what about video conferencing? What about gaming? They use direct connections! Yes, but they pay an extraordinarily steep complexity and reliability price to obtain them and the solutions still wind up using centralized servers. They are exceptions that prove the rule because they allow us to observe how "stepping out of line" is discouraged. It's an accidental line drawn by monkies rather than an intentional line drawn by lizard people, but it's strongly enforced and society-shaping all the same.

It's totally wild to consider the social and market consequences of NAT, the unassuming lazy and kludgy security hack. It got out of hand and reshaped the internet, the technology market, and society from the ground up! That's hardly even an exaggeration!

Cryptoids down, police violence up!
The question really is did the preceding theories help when Snowden came out? Like you said, some didn't believe him, but he brought his reputation and experience and evidence to eventually convince people. I'm not convinced that the decades of conspiracy theories in any way helped the process, and in fact may have invalidated his claims in the eyes of some.
Multi-sig. It can get complicated. But yeah there's actually pretty intense ways that are more secure than anything else available.

Where I think there is a problem is the non-reversible nature of transactions lend themselves to hostage-taking or adduction schemes by cartels and criminals etc... that's where I think crypto is very weak.
I'm surprised Cal Newport's recent book, A World Without Email wasn't mentioned!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525536558/

He takes ideas from Deep Work and builds on them by scaling up the ideas to how an organization should work, coordinate, and collaborate. Specifically, he looks at how to build organizations that are designed to support how our brains have evolved to think & work (without frequent context switches!)
Many other professions react strongly to interruptions. E.g. from what I know: writers and mathematicians react even strongly.
"Twitter Blue" is already a stupid name, after "YouTube Red" (which is stupid for the same reasons. At least YouTube tried it first, I guess) but it gets worse when the only feature I can see in that post is that you can select colours, other than the Twitter blue, making effectively not blue. At least YouTube Red keeps the colour (I guess, I have no idea)
I don't get what the motivation is for these news stories and the upcoming "report" that everyone is talking about.

So far, all we got is grainy video and verbal accounts from military pilots using jargon-laden language that sounds authoritative released to the general public.

The thing is, these pilots have instruments, jobs, and mindsets that are intended to handle known things. They are neither impartial nor critical observers. The key thing is we don't know yet what they saw, nor do they. We don't even know if these are "objects" or sensor/sensory "artifacts".

Occam's Razor is intended to apply in EXACTLY situations like this.

The good news is that if these phenomena are as common as people say, it should be possible to devise procedures, measurements, and analysis to start to rule out what these are not.

> Hey it did turn out the giant squids were totally real though!

So I guess the correlation is: cryptids can't coexist with smartphones. Makes sense. I get a feeling that cryptids aren't the social media type.
NAT does not need anything more than port numbers or UDP cannot be used with it.

As for QoS going beyond port number, source IP and rate of packets asks for troubles.
Los Angeles Is Covered in Delicious Fruit and No One Is Eating It
So I saw a UFO a few years back (2017)- it was a circular object that stayed largely stationary. My in laws saw it to, so I wasn’t imagining it. Obviously I took a picture, but it was so small and far away that the photo is just a white dot in the distance.

Now I figure it was just a rogue cloud, weather balloon or weird atmospheric effect, but there are still phenomena that are hard to capture on camera.
