Technical paper: [Infrared upconversion imaging in nonlinear metasurfaces](https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/advanced-photoni...)
There was a tool for Solaris called "mtwrite" that would use LD_PRELOAD to intercept writes and farm them out to threads. This way, it would work with not just cp, but also tar extracts to files, etc.

It would have to be enforced by legislation (As opposed to the dark patterns with cookie banners). If any company doesn't implement this fully compliant with the spec, fine them every year with 2-25% of the yearly revenue.
you're being ironic, right?
Apple won't come clean until they can sweep it under the rug like they did with the other debacles (see: keyboards). Being honest about those things undermines their "Apple knows best" image attempt.
I'm generally supportive of the effort to replace the archaic shells that dominate the unix landscape, but unfortunately none have yet met my personal desires.

It seems like a lot of the developers of these shells create them to supplement the common unix toolset, but I really want a complete replacement. Ideally, the shell itself would be a completely dependency-free static executable, with a built-in command set that includes functions to interface with all the kernel's user space accessible features, acts as a repl, with sensibly named commands, and a simple method for interfacing to and from any other program. In short, I guess I'm looking for something to act as the basis of a completely new environment on top of Linux. As it is, most of these do not even meet the first of the criteria.
Thanks for sharing this side to the story.
Reading your comment made me realize another thing: Using rust often feels like the language is a successful attempt to take the best parts of a lot of other languages and put them together into a single, rational collection of features. Most of what's in there isn't new, but it all fits together well in one place so I don't feel like I have to make a devil's bargain for important features when I start out.
All traffic in Safari goes through relay. However, in 3rd party apps, all traffic over 80 goes through relay and traffic over 443 is exempt. There is going to be an API though for if you want your 3rd party app’s 443 to go over the relay if you desire.
I love your idea. It is very fascinating and tbh I hoped that they are some of this kind of app while I was coding, you really saved a lot of time for many of us.
Thankfully somebody did the research for me, I just had the vague knowledge that his actions where not exactly matching his writing.

The case can be made that he mostly wrote what he thought of as ideal and how we would like to see himself, but often failed to apply it in practice because as I propose life is more complex than any particular philosophy.
> How do you know if any piece o might actually be an illegal lockpick? Maybe you don't really, but if you have a big box of scrap metal you're not going to be charged with possessing the lockpick, you only get charged after trying to pick a lock with it. Illegal decryption keys are just the same as that.

That's not really true, is it? Instances of simply possessing or intention to share illegal numbers (such as the PS3 encryption keys) have been tried as criminal acts.
I can think of no better reason to normalize the use of Tor than to fight the chilling effects of mass surveillance.

This is true, but note that, for example, on iOS an application can't do that without prompting. Now, most people would probably hit “Approve” if one of their security products said it was necessary.
That's almost as poor a signal as FAANG's hazing rituals. It sends a certain signal, too. That signal, to me, isn't "this person's company really supports open source!" The signal is, "we want to select developers who are willing to produce code for literally no compensation." Think about that.

Also, the vast majority of developers don't have open source contributions or projects worth pointing to. Further, it strikes me that the ones that do have such projects can be much more selective about which company they work for than companies can be about them.
Drafting still helps for recumbents - less than for an upright since your drag is lower, but it's not like your drag is zero.

The UCI are conservative in some areas, but they're not conservative when it comes to something the big-name manufacturers want to sell (like electric shifting). It feels very artificial to me.
I'm 35 and am a keen collector of 1:18 scale diecast model cars. The sense of enjoyment for me comes from seeing their intricate details exactly replicated, from putting models from a similar age/brand/model next to one another and comparing them, from knowing that they can endure a long time without degrading and I can pass them to my son.

I fail to understand the appeal of "adult non-toy" Lego sets like these, however. It's impossible to replicate real-world stuff at any serious level of detail (the smallest brick is far too large), as mechanical devices they are flimsy (no greasing, no bearings, clumsily-weighed movements), separate sets do not stand well next to one another due to different scales and wildly varying subject matters. I do know that it is fun to build a Technic race car with steering, suspension, differentials and pistons, but such model-like stuff doesn't bring much value, IMO.

More generally, geographic licensing maximizes revenue without damaging brand goodwill for the vast majority of customers, so pretty much everyone is going to do it.

Hell, I thought the practice would die (or at least slow down) when Netflix started transitioning away from syndicated TV and movies; this never happened. Netflix will totally geoblock their own shows so they can, say, release a cartoon on a weekly basis in Japan but in binge-watchable chunks in America.

You will continue to see anything more premium than a high-subscriber-count YouTube channel be geoblocked until and unless one of two things happens:

- Geoblocking gets so heinous that it starts to push people away from shows and services, beyond ordinary subscriber churn. This is unlikely - the US is the biggest market for a lot of this stuff, and that's a market full of people who have no desire to watch foreign media ahead of an official release. Hell, most of us don't even have passports, and think that you can just move to another country by asking politely.

- Some country or trading bloc gets enough of a bug up their butt about getting releases late that they start amending copyright law to ban the practice. AFAIK, I've heard Australia was considering banning region locked DVD players at one point; and that the EU was considering forcing online video providers to license content on an EU-wide basis.

>When is a file so large that it is no longer considered a number? If it is larger than 16 bytes?

It's not considered a "number" when society thinks of it in a higher conceptual abstraction than a number. It may sound like tautology and circular reasoning but that's basically it.

A 16-byte number is a range of 0 to 256^16. Can some value within that small range be illegal? Maybe if someone doxxed somebody with GPS coordinates of their house and embedded it in those 16 bytes, they might run in to trouble with the law. Examples:
https://www.google.com/search?q=laws+illegal+doxxing

For larger examples... a 200k jpeg of a child in a porn scene is just a number less than 256^200000. A 2 gigabyte mp4 video file of a copyrighted Marvel Avengers movie is just a number less than 256^2000000000. Can those accused of a crime convince the following groups in society that those are just very large numbers in a mathematical sense:

- police arresting you

- jury convicting you

- judge sentencing you to prison

- employers rejecting your job application after you've served prison time

One thing I seldom see mentioned, too, is why would a K3 civilization use easily detected communications like radio or broadly focused light sources? If we launched Voyager 3 (for lack of a better name) next decade, would we use primarily always-on, omnidirectional radio? Would we use a laser? Maybe we'd use a tightly focused, burstable digital radio system. What about next century? Are we simply looking largely for the wrong things?

File size or file length ?
Well, here’s the catch. Even if logs were kept, the 2nd party as far as we know does not have a unique identifier passed onto it.

This means that Apple’s logs would say this user authenticated and passed some encrypted stuff to Fastly, and Fastly would say that it received requests from Apple, without an identifier to match it up against the first request.

Once this scales and Apple has millions of requests incoming, there will be no way to conclusively prove that two requests are the same.

In which case a double subpoena is again useless. And this assuming they keep logs - if they don’t keep logs, which is more likely, it’s even more useless.

This also aligns with something we currently know. Apple says they can’t see your requests. This implies that they just pass data along in an encrypted format to their partners. So all Apple does is make it so their partners don’t know your device, and the partners ensure Apple doesn’t know your request.

Ultimately, even if logs were kept, there would have to be a unique identifier of some sort that was passed on to the second server from the first server to break the system. You decide the odds that they did that. Sounds a lot like an IP Address, in which case why not just build a classic VPN?
It tells you how much each component contributes lower in the results page. Screen info should be under "Screen Size and Color Depth". For my 2560x1600x24 display 1 in ~1582 have it. The canvas fingerprint was the greatest source for me with 1 in ~2870.

That being said the goal is that the vast majority of users come out unique even if everything is mostly normal individually anyways.

All of the tools require access permission if you're outside of the BBC, and further permission to actually publish the content you create (which implies ownership by the BBC until it's released...). They are less 'Tools to create your own digital content' and more 'Tools to create BBC digital content.'

>Ideally it would be continually audited by multiple trusted third parties.. something maybe like the EFF.

For a for profit company, the third parties such as EFF would be good enough for most users. Would highly recommend that EFF offer some sort of certificate (PGP signed key would be fine) to authenticate such audit.
This is as much to do with their content license agreements as it is BBC being disinterested. Material BBC licenses to distribute, they are limited to the UK, and content BBC licenses to foreign TV presumably can't be also distributed to that same region. There is a service BBC run which allows those outside the UK to stream some content (https://www.britbox.com/us/).
They've been trying to do that with learning for literally more than a hundred years now. I'm totally cynical about it. Furthermore, it's not like we're not already bombarded by ads every day.
You won't have to. Eventually these speakers will have long-range parabolic microphones so one set up on a neighbour's patio will pick up sounds from your house.
The problem with arms races is that they are races: no one wants to be left behind.

What is likely to happen is any major nation-state that signs a treaty agreeing to a ban will STILL secretly be researching and building autonomous (or nearly autonomous) weapon systems because they do not want to be left behind.

There are many opinions online, but there is no authoritative, definitive answer. GDPR was made vague by design "to prevent future exploits". Even lawyers are arguing the details, three years after its introduction.

This made GDPR in effect one of the most expensive regulations we had to implement as IT companies. It is also so incredibly punitive that everybody choose to implement it in the most conservative way possible, at the expense of the UX. Thus the cookie popups and banners.
The stability your example cites is stability of the amount of money you have and are making.

The problem is, most people don't understand what cookie really is. If it's understood, you don't need to support so much clueless people and no sane politician in EU would made a cookie law.

> why is forced consumption such an existential need that must be serviced at all costs

I think this is just half the picture. Most mindless consumption doesn't happen all the time by all people. And most mindlessly consumed products still have some people who get a true benefit out of it.

To be more precise: The rat-race is on for those moments during a day when people are mindless. And with Zuck and the "don't be evil" company trimming down our attention-span I postulate that they are to blame, because they make us more mindless.
Noyb - one of the organisations behind this proposal - have started contacting the operators of non-compliant websites,[0] as the first step in forcing them towards compliance.

OK, this is something that's bugged me for a long time. I've been in the field forever, but working on Windows. So I've seen this kind of thing many times before, particularly when referencing man, and it seems completely cryptic.

The way linux people occasionally put a parenthetic number after a generic command seems to me one of the ways that normal civilians, and even pros like me, are intimidated into staying away from serious linux usage.

So what gives? What the heck is the parenthetic number for?

One of the things that `use strict` does is enable `use strict "vars"`.

use strict;

no strict qw(vars);
$foo = $bar;

That's part of the reason `use strict` is recommended.

---

The other major reason is `"refs"`, which disable symbolic refs.
Honestly this is *THE* main reason I recommend `use strict`.

Symbolic refs are how you did arrays of arrays prior to Perl5. (Among other uses.)

use 4.0;

@a = 'b','c';
@b = (1, 2);
@c = (3, 4);

print $a[1]->[1], "\n"; # 4

That can be a security risk if an attacker can insert or change strings in `@a`.

It isn't (generally) needed anymore of course.

use 5.0;
my @a = ( \[1,2], \[3,4] );

print $a[1]->[1], "\n"; # 4

(The only reason `@b` and `@c` existed was to symbolically reference them.)
But!

Could this be used for good? Like e.g. nurturing positivity or in-sleep NLP?

I feel a need to add an important extra wrinkle. The front line of progress and growth in all things is driven by those who are pursuing progress and growth. If an upload cult arises in a planet, and 90% of the populace retreats into simulations, the remaining 10% are still around and we be selected to be exactly those people most invested in the material universe; within a few years (not millions of years, certainly) there’s a good chance they’ll be considering expansion. Or, consider how often new civilizations are formed by small populations of refugees from intolerably oppressive larger civilizations. Something like a war, extinction event or ecological difficult is similarly likely to prompt a desire for expansion as it is a total collapse.

Science fiction is full of sentences of the form, “The Klaatu were an alien race who colonized the galaxy a million years ago but have since moved on.” I always roll my eyes at this. Almost no matter what the Klaatu are or what they care about, there would be some group of them remaining. And the only Klaatu we would see would be the descendants of the ones who stayed. Giant galactic civilizations made of individuals are unlikely to make coherent collective decisions with no dissenters for the same reason our single planet (with much less serious communications obstacles) never makes unanimous collective decisions.

Nobody is gonna sail a warship with a huge expensive crew across the ocean without a damn good reason. Such reason almost certainly never materialized, that's a given.

But local mediteranean cargo vessels are more than seaworthy enough to cross the Atlantic in the same way that I can haul 3000lb in a Ford Ranger. Water and navigation will be your issues. The capability to get it done with not that much luck needed is there. I can't think of is why someone would both have the requisite provisions and a reason to sail west for weeks on end other than a "Skydiving From Space, Brought to you by Red Bull(TM) " style vanity project. And the economic surpluses at the time simply weren't large enough to support a lot of that kind of activity so it's doubtful anyone would have done it.

Could you expand upon this?

My specific concern there is that, while the compiler frontend for any one given edition becomes individually simpler, the whole compiler becomes a bit more complicated, and things like IntoIterator, which pjmlp mentioned elsewhere, imply changes across several editions.

This is not a major problem when editions means {2015, 2018, 2021}, but in a world where we also have 2024, 2027, ... editions, this becomes increasingly tricky.

I have been using DDG for a few years, and find a few problems with their results:

* Some spammy links slip thru-- these are dumb sites with lot of stuffed keywords and zero actual content. I dont get these with Google. I've usually seen these when searching for questions related to email list providers, like Aweber or Activecampaign

* Last year, I started getting random porn results for harmless queries, like "Monster videogame 2010". Again, didnt get these on Google.

For these reasons, Im hesitant to recommend DDG to non-technical users.

Why I stick with DDG-- I like to search in private windows, and Google harasses you everytime to accept their terms and conditions. On my iPhone, if I have 10 tabs open, I'll have to do this 10 times. DDG saves me a lot of this hassle.

For me, the privacy is a bonus, but like other commenters have said, there is no way to verify these claims.
The context, though, is that the assertion you are saying is worth consideration (homosexuality cannot be selected for and is therefore a disorder) was the orthodox scientific position not too long ago, was then thoroughly debated, debunked, and only now is summarily rejected.

This does not reflect a bias, but instead reflects that there is very little value in revisiting an exhausted question without bringing more information to the table.
That's a great memo. Thank you for sharing it.
